Saturday, April 29, 2006 || Pride comes before a fall
- I haven't been online much lately, hence the sudden lack of everyday updates.
I swear, I have been going online for less than 10 minutes per day for the last month or so. Unless I decide to blog ...
I used to sit my lazy ass in front of the computer for hours, doing nothing and chatting to random people. =_= Until my dad started bitching about what a big grasp the Internet has on me, I decided to shove into his face the fact that I don't specifically depend on anything to survive.
And I did! Bwahahaha!
Errr ... right.
Anyway, I used some of the money I earned from last month's part-time job to buy me a .......
TADA!
A dance performance mat! :D
HAHAHA. Can you believe it, I actually thought that those dance mats were called 'dance-dance mats'.
At the console game shop ....
me: "Do you guys sell dance dance mats?"
Shop dude: "Huh?"
me: "Er ... neh, the thing that people jump on with the arrows on screen..."
shop dude: "Oh ... Yeah we have it, it's a dance performance mat and it's Rm35."
.... But despite my intense stupidity/blurness/idiocracy, I still managed to sum up all my bargaining skills (Rm35 is overpriced yo, IMO) and got the damned mat for Rm27.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Anyway, I bought the map home, along with a few Ps2 dance-dance Cds (I don't care, it's still called dance-dance in my books :p ) and I tried playing it.
At first, I set the game mode to beginner, but then I thought: 'What the hell man, all those lala chai show-offs at arcades can play so well... so can I!'
So I set it to difficult mode, and chose Fatboy Slim's What a wonderful night. -_-
Ah, I underestimated what I thought was a 'stupid game'. All I remember was being in a confused frenzy, and hopping around with one leg like an idiot.
... Until I fell on my ass. =(((
Moral of the story: Pride comes before a fall. And in this case, literally. Eesh.
And oh, I found a pretty okay-looking 21 inch phillips tv, second hand, going for RM150. Quite cheap, right? But kiamsap ole' me tried bargaining with the fat salesman and he wouldn't budge, which ended up with me feeling annoyed and leaving the shop empty-handed.
=_=
----------------------
I've been reading up on religion quite a lot, nowadays.
My parents were buddhists who converted to christianity when I was pretty young, so yeah, I remember going to church for a very, very long time.
But I've never really thought of it as a religion. I've always regarded the whole thing as a relationship between myself and God. Something that has nothing to do with anybody else. And yep, I must say that even though I don't attend the same church as my parents or anything, I do know that I love God a lot, though that isn't sufficient enough an explaination for most people .......
I've always known the gist of most religions. But I think it's high time I found out more about everything.
OH oh did you know that satanism is just a belief that a person is his own God?
I DID know this some time back, but most people think that it's literally lucifer-worshipping. Which involves a lot of blood and dead babies. And *no offence* but 6/10 of my buddhist friends don't seem to know much as well. O_o
"What's the difference between the black goddess of mercy and the white one ar?" (I don't mean to be rude, I really wanted to know..)
friend: "Err ... How would I know?"
"Aren't you buddhist?"
"Uh ... well ... different colour lor."
I've been reading some Ancient bible secrets book as well. Quite interesting, no less.
But speaking of religion, there are just SO many questions that, try as I may, I can't seem to find any solid answers to them. And I'm not going to be satisfied until I find my own answers, one way or other ....
Many people think that religious fanatics, whatever the religion, are a bunch of nuts. I must say that even I, at times, find them rather irritating.
But whatever it is, they're still nuts with a belief.
And OH, I met another weirdass taxi driver today. We were having a chat about mass comm and then the dude started telling me his sob story about his dead brother and cousin. OMG.
