I wanted to post this few days ago but didn't have the time.

Somebody asked me what was "the blog entries" about, whether "my" wk told me that "in order to become an architect we need to complete 2 degree/or master b4 we sit for PAM3 exam or else u will be draftman earning maximum 3k each month for the rest of your life", even fed me with informations like "taylor's programme is 3 years diploma + 1 year in MELB. U for the 1st degree and recently they change to master programme for the 2nd part".

Then that somebody also claimed that he did not sound like he's comparing between 2 colleges and if I found what he said offensive, he said "i am so sorry for ur stuupidity" adding "i tot u might know something tats y i ask you the question and turn out u actually know nothing at all...".

And then later I replied him a whole lot of crap about what shit whoever has to go through to be an architect has nothing to do with me and I am super very not interested. Then he said, "so stop insulting".

At the beginning I really thought I blindly accused him for comparing 2 colleges since he said he did not. That was before I went and re-read my blog entry to see if I really did accused him for comparing. So I apologized for getting his intentions wrongly. And he told me, "understand the situation b4 u say anything pls". Read again, that was BEFORE I re-read my entry.

I replied him with more stuffs including me being pissed at the way he spoke to me. Then only he decided to say "sry with my approach that day". After I mentioned it more than 3 times in my entry and one more time before he apologized.

Aaaaand the funniest of all, he asked "and what about the name? this name was given by my godfather and my surname is ***". His surname by the way, is pronounced the same as Soh, but different spelling. In my entry, I said I don't like English names unless you're a Christian or your surname is Soh and your last name is Hai Long. Geddit? It was a joke and to begin with, this is not some sick funny story we created. Adelle told me that there IS a real person with that name because her friend saw it when she worked in DIGI and had to deal with photocopied Identity Cards. I found the situation funny with a person having that name so I decided to just give an example of when you should consider giving yourself an English name. And this somebody, he thought I was making fun of his real name. What a joke!

Theeen, I told him that it was an impulse. Because I was pissed with him, everything he did annoyed me already, which explains why I picked on the English names part. Don't you agree? It's like a reflex. When you're angry with someone, every little thing he does will only irritate you. And you know what he said? "lol excuses and excuses". Really, I should be the one to laugh out loud to when I sit here, typing this.

Hahahaha and then and then he tried to end the conversation in a somehow weird sentence, "so am i suppose to sy thank you? or jz bye?". I told Wk about all these and he said I should have said this to him,

"Do you ask your mum whether to use toilet paper or hand bidet after you shit?" Hahahahahah damn funny!

I actually have much more to say about it to him but because I was rushing to leave the house I didn't. And after talking to Wk about our conversation, I discovered a lot more things.

TO WHOEVER IT MAY CONCERN,

(You better thank me for teaching you some lessons you'll never get to learn in LKW HAHHAHAHA)

1. First of all, there is only ONE entry in my blog about this issue and not ENTRIES. Get your words right before starting to argue. Or speak. Whatever.

2. You said you're not comparing? Well, at first I thought I was wrong and I thought I was being over sensitive and irritable and maybe, MAYBE, I shouldn't have posted that entry. UNTIL, you messaged me and filled me with so much of informations that Wk once told but I have forgotten about it a long time ago. If you already know so much, what's the point in asking me questions in the first place? Ok fine. You wanted to know when Wk graduates. Why? I don't even know you personally, what more Wk! All that stupid questions only meant nothing but your unsaid intention to show me something.

3. This is what Wk told me. Not getting titled as an architect by "PAM3" (or wtf) does not necessarily mean you only get to forever be a draftmen. He(Wk) has seen a lot of people who did not get the title but still practice as an architect. As long as your boss has the title, he can sign it off for you to be a senior project architect, senior architect, senior designer, you name it. And with all that you can easily earn big bucks. There has been a lot of issues that in fact a lot of people don't wanna earn that title because there're a lot of risk, liability and reputation problems. Some people rather "buy" it, as in design everything and ask someone with the title to sign, then pay him as a service. Nothing wrong with that. All in all, no title does not mean end of the world and earn 3K for the rest of your life.

3. And maximum 3K a month as a draftmen? In other words you are stereotyping all draftmen to be low level workers in architecture? Maybe you're not I shall not say otherwise you will be "sorry for my stupidity", but the way you said it sure did sounded like you are stereotyping. Do you even know draftmen actually can earn a lot of money? Definitely more than your "3K a month for the rest of your life". There are a lot of controversial architectural politics out there and some other facts which has got no basis to be proven yet, do you know? Obviously, you don't otherwise you wouldn't have came to me and spoken as that shallow architecture student.

4. You said "they changed to master programme" and from what I understand, you think the "they" is Taylor's right and so you think Taylor's changed to master programme right? If you're not aware of currect issues, don't act like you do. I'm more than glad to share what I know with you. It is not Taylor's who changed the programme but due to a huge decision made in Australia, they changed probably all courses to a 2 tier system that leads to a master degree because they felt there is a need to. All in all, the entire Australia is changing to this program, not just Melbourne University.

5. This is damn funny. Being offended means I am stupid? Can you please tell me where you learn this theory from ah? Just because I was offended by the way you talked to me, that means I am stupid? I really wanna know which genius came up with this theory.

6. You wanted to ask me questions because you thought I knew? I told you what I knew and because there are certain things I didn't know (or probably forgot), and that proves me STUPID? If I know nothing at all I won't be answering you back and wrote a long blog post dedicated specially to you. Well, since you know so much, why did you have to ask me again? Aaaaand besides, why the fuck do I have to know all this shit about architecture? Like I have said, I am not fucking interested and I don't and won't care even if you tell me 2389456 times. Which explains why I forgot about it even when Wk has told me before.

6. You stopped me from insulting? Insulting what? Who? Please get your question focused before typing it. I am too "stupid" to understand. If you asked me not to insult when I said I don't give a shit on what shit you have to go through to be an architect, I wonder, was there anything which sounded like an insult to you? Was I even insulting architecture? I was only being ignorant to something that I am not interested in, is that even wrong? Nothing in my sentence sounded like I am insulting architecter, right? And puh-lease lah use your brains lah, why would I wanna insult architecture when my boyfriend is persuing in it? Sigh.

7. You pleaded me to understand a situation before saying anything. Hahahaha. Look who's talking. It was obviously YOU who didn't get your facts right before saying things, dude. And you didn't even read my post carefully before coming to me and say you're "sorry for my stupidity". Clearly, in this situation YOU are the one who knows nothing at all. And I thought I was being over sensitive. I asked my brother and another friend to read our chat log. BOTH of them felt insulted and annoyed by the way you said things.

"1st degree means nothing in architecture". Do you even have your 1st degree? If not, I'm so sorry but you're worst than nothing.

If I don't understand, I won't even feel offended. If you think I am in no position to comment about architecture when I don't understand about it, you intelligence is beyond my expectation lah sorry. It was not about architecture in our first conversation. It was about you being rude, as simple as that.

And hellow, you are in no position to ask me to understand a situation before saying because you yourself didn't understand what I wrote in my entry! Read again and find the words where I accuse you of comparing both colleges.

The only sentence I talked about you comparing is "And I was more than happy to give him Wk's email because I wanted Wk to bulldoze his ego IF he tries to preach about how good LKW is and how bad Taylor's is." There, I even capsed the IF.

And if you don't understand the Soh Hai Long joke, I'm sorry for the lack of sense of humour in you. But, any normal person (with the least sense of humour) can understand that I wasn't particularly picking or being sarcastic on anyone's name particularly YOU.

You don't even understand the purpose of a blog and posting entries and you still have the guts to come to me and speak up before reading properly. Speak also didn't double check your use of words.

8. And regarding names, like I said, it was an impulse. And besides, this is MY blog and I am entitled to post WHATEVER I want. I didn't even put your name up. Eh even if I put it up you have to thank me for making you famous. Once your name's up approximately 100 people will know about you automatically! And if you don't like what I wrote, back off. My entry didn't even affect the slightest bit of your life did it? I'll be so damn proud if it did anyway. I wrote it in a harmless way, and yet some people thought it was "stupid".

9. If you think you are so damn right and whatever I write about you is wrong, hahaha, logically and sensibly if I was you I will not even bother. The fact that you reacted to it and even said stuffs like that only proved that whatever I said was right. And thank you for that =)

10. I didn't even put your name up. Why are you so provoked? If I was you and I thought the bitch who wrote about me in her entry are full of bullshit and nothing is true, I would not even be the slightest bothered. Unless, just unless, whatever the bitch said hit bull's eye.

Ok too long the end.

Because my phone cannot type chinese characters...

Does anyone knows "you made my day" in chinese? Clearly, I don't T__T

P.s. I removed my barbell just now and went to bath. When I looked down at my navel, I suddenly felt my tummy is so... naked. I got so used to looking at my tummy with that bling in my navel already that it felt really weird looking at my bare body.

Wah by looking at the title itself also it somehow reflects the word "controversy" to me =____= ||| but no lah. It's not *that* controversial one. This is just another ranting post by a bitchy and sensitive blogger.

Anyway, someone pissed me off yesterday.

Not gonna put names here for obvious you-know-what reasons. As if what I'm about to say later's not enough to create controversy.

There's this guy who was a schoolmate 3-4 years back but he was one whom I don't know much. You know? The kind of friend whom you only know his name but never hang out or even talk? The kind whom you will only pass a smile when you meet him somewhere but school? Just a smile because you don't know him so there's no point going up to him and start a chat?

Yeah. I've been having his contact in my msn but we have never even started a conversation before in msn you see. So yesterday, suddenly a window popped up and I saw an unfamiliar name. He started with this:

(Everything is quoted exactly from what he typed)

" hey eevon, *** here. got something to ask you. "

(*** is his name)

Firstly, I shouldn't be bothered about that introduction but after he pissed me off, even his introduction sounded irritating when I read my message history.

Hello, we have never even talked in school before what made him think I know his fancy English name and I will know who the heck *** is by introducing himself as *** in the first place?

FYI this is not meant to offend anyone but I particularly dislike people who give themselves English names especially when it's not in their birth cert nor they are Christians. It's ok to have names for fun. I used to have names like Serenity(I was a damn damn damn huge fan of Sailormoon), Usagi(this is Japanese which means rabbit, not English but still. Also derived from Sailormoon), Wendy(suggested by friends), Slumberland(a joke, obviously but I can't remember what was it about) and well, something like that. But I don't practically introduce myself that way because I think everyone should be proud of their names. Unless your surname is Soh and your last name is Hai Long lah then ok I'll shaddup.  

Ok back to *** and that annoying English name. I don't know whether it's really his name as what's written in his birth cert or it's a Christian name (which I highly doubt cos I have never came across anyone with that name unless you consider my dog a person). So double annoyance already by then.

Then he asked me this:

" wanted to ask when your bf graduate? he is doin his part 2 degree? "

I knew this guy is doing architecture and recently he just added me on facebook and probably viewed Wk's profile or something I don't know and I don't care. The point is he's doing architecture too so I wasn't surprised when he asked me something to do with it since Wk's doing architecture. I thought probably he just wanna know more about Taylor's SABD.Then I told him Wk already graduated and is doing his industrial training and will continue to masters next year.

Then he went:

" huh? he did diploma in taylor? then one year for the degree in Melb U right? "

I said yup. And he continued,

" after that 2 more years for 2nd degree right? "

I told him I'm not sure and I think the program has changed.

Program meaning the architectural course Wk did at Taylor's. He told me before they changed the program and something about degree going straight to masters and all but I didn't really understand and didn't really bother and it was like dunno when he told me that so I totally forgot about it already.

All I know is, he already has his Bachelor's certificate and is now doing an industrial training in Melbourne and will go on to masters next year.

So I told him what I know. I think the program has changed. You know what that rude arse replied?

" i know, i am aware of that. but it is still degree programme after all "

Don't you think that comment and the way he replied me was fucking rude? If he knows and is already aware of that why the fuck wanna ask me about it again? And what the fuck he meant by BUT IT IS STILL A DEGREE PROGRAMME AFTER ALL? What the fuck was he trying to show?

I was already quite annoyed so I gave him a very short and sharp reply,

" sorry i'm not too sure about that. "

Yes full with a full stop some more. Normally when I chat with someone in msn I will not even bother to use formal language. And possible replies from me in a normal way is,

" har yes ah? er, not too sure wor "

When I replied him I even had the courtesy to use the word "sorry" when I could have just asked him what the fuck he wants. But since I wasn't *that* angry yet, I used a little of some fake politeness because I wanted the conversation to end fast.

But you know what he replied?

" hmm... btw this is not the main point i talking to you, i wanted to know when he is goin to graduate only. 2 more years? "

I cannot tell you how I felt. I was practically speecheless and damn angry already. Didn't I already said he graduated and will be doing his masters next year? I was so pissed I gave him another short and sharp reply:

" graduate from what? he graduated already. "

Then later only I know he was actually asking about when Wk's gonna graduate from his masters. Stupid fucker, at first some more say he knows and he's aware of it? Some more ask me when Wk graduate? If he's so clever he should know how long the master program takes right? Didn't I already said he's starting his masters next year? OWNSELF DON'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT AH? And then wanna ask also ask properly lah, how the heck I know what he wanna know.

Anyway, I replied,

" masters i don't know cos he hasn't started yet. doing his industrial training for 1 year now. starting masters next year "

Can you see I was typing in a totally annoyed mood already? I really wanted to end the conversation so I put what ever fucks I know there so that he would just shaddup and stop annoying my ass off. I said Wk'll do his masters next year TWICE already before this. And he still didn't get it.

And you know? That fucker had the cheeks to say this to me:

" for your information, 1st degree for archi is like nothing... hehe!! hmmm... thanks anyway "

By then I was already exploding inside me. WHAT THE FUCK HE MEANT BY 1ST DEGREE FOR ARCHI IS LIKE NOTHING? Was he trying to tell me my boyfriend's degree is nothing in architecture?

I even went straight to Wk (in msn) and told him somebody's pissing me off. Eventhough I knew that arse's doing architecture, I didn't know where he's doing it. I remember he did form 6 but I don't know whether he got a place in any local uni so I quickly went to facebook and checked his profile and then I saw something: Lim Kok Wing University.

I wanted to laugh already by then seriously. Of everything, of all universities and colleges I expected, I couldn't believe what I saw. LKW University. Will explain why later.

Ok back to ***.

I really hate people who speak without considering what position they're in you know? Even if Wk has only one degree, at least he already HAS a degree in his hands, dude. What he(that ***) has now? Nothing. A goddamn STPM cert which don't serve a purpose. He spent 2 years in Form 6 and ended up in just another private university. And he dare say 1st degree is nothing?

Even if Wk has only one degree, at least it's a degree which earned him a job in Melbourne, Australia, earning an amount anyone would die to get being only an intern and a fresh graduate, dude. Stay in Malaysia and work and see, NO ARCHITECTURE FIRM will ever pay you the amount he's getting now. Not even if you're a LKW graduate. And no company will pay your insurance for you, hire a lawyer to settle your visa for you, have parties every Friday, let you be part of the team in one of the biggest projects in Australia... okay if I go on people will call me a bragger.

Then I replied that asshole:

" i don't know what you're trying to prove anyway but if u need any more information i can give u his email and u can chat with him straight. "

Then I gave him Wk's email and he thanked me and apologized to me for bothering me. Finally, at the very end of the conversation only he decided to show some manners.

Know why I even bother to give him Wk's email? Cos I seriously want to know what that prick wanted to prove and show to me OR Wk I don't know cos whatever he did to me/asked me didn't make any sense cos I'm just a girlfriend of an architecture student, not an architecture student myself hellow. He probably wanted to pass a message to Wk I guess.

And I was more than happy to give him Wk's email because I wanted Wk to bulldoze his ego IF he tries to preach about how good LKW is and how bad Taylor's is. Why I even dare to say this is because Wk did shut a LKW student's mouth when he brought his brother over to ask about and enroll in some course(for his brother).

So normally when you want to enroll in a university there'll be this counsellor thingy who'll be incharge of giving you informations about the university right? So when he was there with his brother, there's this guy who graduated from LKW in marketing or whatever, he was the counsellor.

(You see, graduated from LKW doesn't even guarantee you a job in the market. Graduate already also have to go back to LKW to do donkey jobs.)

Then they were talking about the course his brother wanted to enroll when the fact that Wk graduated in architecture from Taylor's suddenly came out unintentionally. Then as if it's automatic, the counsellor straight away started boasting about LKW saying how studying architecture in LKW takes shorter time to complete and how good the future is. Isn't it obvious that he is indirectly saying LKW is better than Taylor's but in a more careful way? And the fact that he purposely continuously keeeeeept boasting about it in front of Wk, who ALREADY COMPLETED HIS COURSE IN TAYLOR'S, it got really provocative and Wk really couldn't stand it anymore by then, he said this,

" You know why I'm not in LKW? Because the architecture course they provide is not as good as it sounds and not promising. The course is a mess and many of the lecturers and students have switched to Taylor's instead. If LKW is so good, then its students won't change to Taylor's halfway lah. FYI, statistically, students moving out from LKW to Taylor's is higher. LKW is stronger in multimedia and graphical stuff but not architecture."

He has much more to say but because considering his brother will be studying there, he did not. And he told me actually LKW does produce good works but there seems to be a very serious attitude problem with the people.

As for me, I'm not saying they don't produce good work/students, but come on. When you're good it doesn't give you the liberty to look down on others you see. If you're good, you definitely DON'T HAVE to stoop so low to trashing other universities/colleges for the sake of making yours look better. Unless of course, you're not that good after all heh. An expensive and cool looking (with their official color, BLACK. Black buildings, black shirts.) university doesn't always guarantee quality and a good future, okay?

And by the fucking way, a course which takes shorter time to complete is definitely NOT a course with quality. Eh common sense lah. If you compare learning something in a longer period and the same thing in a shorter period, obviously you'll learn more things in the longer period because there's more time to focus on everything right? If you have to cram everything in such a short period, yes you still get to learn everything but not in depth. Easy as that.

Again, I'm not saying EVERYONE in LKW is like that. Just that one person from LKW behaving like that, counsellor some more, speaking without using his brains and knowing the facts, is enough to tarnish the university and the people's reputation. And he must have said things which really irritated Wk cos Wk told me he said this to that counsellor,

" You are in no position to make comparisons and make judgements on which is better because you're not in this field. We're the insiders and we know what's good and what's bad. "

which I have to agree. There, straight at his face. No one has the right to even speak about something like that unless they personally experienced it. That LKW business graduate/counsellor? Come on lah LKW, why did you even let this kinda people with this much of knowledge be a counsellor in the first place? You can do much better than this!

(By the way again, I'm not trying to brag here but Wk is normally a very nice person and he NEVER, never ever shoots people by answering so sharply like that, unless that person really annoys the hell out of him. For example? That stupid counsellor. Aaaand, he's a very analytical, fussy and careful person - ask any one of his coursemates they'll agree with me. Whatever he says are not just plain bullshit, he will only speak when he knows the facts. Especially when it comes to things as serious as this.)

I have to stress this again. I'm not generally condemning LKW, but I'm just speaking on behalf of Wk's experience with that so called "counsellor" who's a LKW graduate. And that happened like early this year. And that punk, ***, a LKW student who came to me speaking like that.

Besides, the point of this entry is only to vent about how *** pissed me off anyway.

No offence to anyone especially anyone who's studying/studied/works/worked at LKW.

EXCEPT.

*** and that counsellor. This whole post is dedicated specially to them.

Hahahaha I sounded damn scared I'll create a controversy keeeeeep saying "not all LWK ppl are like that not all not all". Haih so perasan(shameless) as if a lot of people reading this. But I'm just speaking the truth through an experience and another person's experience. Constructive comments are very welcomed. Read: CONSTRUCTIVE. Not rubbish. Not rubbish.

P.S//

This is such a funny shit! Nicked this from Kenny after Kin Wai told me I should watch it.

Today marks the end of jazz dance class in uni. We were tested for our finals.

And I screwed it up, which was expected. Well I dare say I wasn't the only one who screwed it up, and I AM NOT feeling happy being not the only one ok? It feels damn awful to see someone screwing it up and getting stucked and can do nothing about it whether or not you personally know that person.

This is something I learn in Performing Arts Theory class lectured by Professor Anis. He said when one is very engaged in a performance, one will feel bad if the performer did something wrong in the performance. Feeling bad as in feeling what the performer feels, but not feeling that the performer is a bad performer for performing badly, geddit?

I don't know what I was thinking when I first took this class but I know I have never thought it would be this challenging.

If you think dancing is easy, please keep quiet because if you say it out I am going to beat you to death. So if you don't say it at least nobody will know you're that shallow. And your life shall be spared.

Yes so I was shallow in the beginning. Not anymore until I experienced and engaged in it myself.

I was given a chance to choose either jazz dance or conducting class. Being a music student, logically I should be going for conducting, right? I did went for the first class (conducting) but after knowing it was not the kind of conducting I was interested in (it was choir conducting, not orchestra conducting like what I wanted) and it was taught by a lecturer I hate with an extreme vengeance (click here to know why), I decided to go for jazz dance.

Because I needed the credit hours. Because I wanted to try. Because it was something I've never experienced. Because I won't have to face that cibai lecturer.

It feels as if it was yesterday when I first joined the class and sweat so much and feeling painful all over my body for the next few days. In just a blink, it's the end of it already.

Whatever happens, I know a few important things which are I will never regret taking this class...

eventhough my chance to fail it is like 99.99% I know,

eventhough I know if I had taken conducting in the first place I will not be on the verge of failing,

eventhough I chose to put myself in a dangerous situation like screwing my aggregate,

I have never regretted and will never do.

Because I know the time, effort and patience given by Ms Revathi can never be compared to the amount of time, effort and patience I spent in practising jazz.

Because I learn a lot in just one semester. So much that words cannot describe it. Not just about technical stuffs, I also learn many other things which cannot be seen physically.

Because I have friends like Cheng Choo and Chee Wei who were there to correct me when I did wrongly. And particularly Cheng Choo who spent time to teach Adelle and I for our midterm. Thank you. =)

Because I have a lot to say but I simply don't know how to put things into words haih.

So all in all, it was a great experience learning jazz dance.

I will definitely miss:

Warm up sessions when I literally stretched my guts out.

Sweating. I usually don't sweat much and after a few classes in jazz, my sweat glands finally decided to work!

Losing weight T____T I think I'm gonna put on weight like crazy after this.

Laughing it off with jazz classmates, laughing at ourselves when we look into the mirror in the studio realizing we look very funny in certain moves.

Laughing it off with Cheng Choo when we see something funny and make jokes about it.

Secretly wishing with Adelle that Ms Revathi will cancel class everytime we enter the studio and wear our jazz shoes =D

Looking at Adelle and smiling to each other during the cool down session (cos that means class finishing already lah)

Passing funny looks to each other (Adelle and I) when certain music is played because we both concluded that the music is annoying.

Neyo's Because of You. Gawd everytime I listen to this song it reminds me ONLY of jazz.

Practising damn hard for that few days before midterm and losing weight because of it.

Aaah there are simply a lot more to reminisce I don't think I have the time to type it all out here. I'm gonna miss jazz. Like seriously.

Jazz dance.

---

Ok the end of emo story. I had dinner with Michelle and Adelle just now and Michelle is so funny!

" Ee Von is it me or your eyes are really black! "

" Hahaha no lah I'm wearing contacts. "

" Oooh it's black arh? The one that make your eyes look bigger one? "

" Yup! "

" So what? Do you see things like in black or darker? "

Adelle and I both burst into laughter immediately. Adelle said,

" HAHAHAHAH YOU THINK LIKE SUNGLASSES MEH! "

For your information, no I do not see things in black nor darker ok? Only the outer rim of the contacts is black (this covers the iris of the eye) but the middle is transparent (for the pupil). Geddit? Read this if you don't geddit.

Sigh I also don't know why I like to do self-damaging things like webcamwhoring and blogging when I really don't have the time for it and I am like super fucking tired now. Maybe it's because I like attention HAHAHAHA.

T______T can somebody please slap me real hard?

To show you how tired I am, this is how I blogged.

My eyes almost cannot open already, I still wanna...

CAMWHORE!!! GAWD PLEASE KILL ME LAH.

I'm close to failing jazz dance already. Tomorrow is the final test and if I don't even manage to score myself that few points to pass, I should just die lah.

Cheng Choo and Adelle, WE CAN DO IT! (That's our favourite gesture in jazz dance class to convince ourselves that we "can do it". Well I guess it only works for Cheng Choo hahahaha.)

Ok bye.

Zzzzz
