Kota Kinabalu

Ha, mesti korang pelik apahal aku tiba-taba post lagu Sabah ni kan? Ekceli, dah lama dah aku dengar lagu ni. Hehe. Takusangka pulak lagu ni best. Kalo dengar lagu ni mesti teringat time di KK. KK ni bukan la besar sangat tapi dia cantik mengalahkan kecantikan Kim Kardashian. Tapi Kim Kardashian ni tak confem 'natural beauty'. Kota Kinabalu tu lagi best, ada pulau, ada gunung tinggi lagitu. (bukan unsur lucah)

Sambil kita masih dalam topik gunung-gunung ni, next year kamiorang akan pergi lagi ke KK masa Kaamatan. Memang boleh dikatakan setiap tahun lah pegi situ tapi next year ada 'something special'. :D Spesel? Apa yang speselnya? Well, kemungkinan tahun depan naik Gunung Kinabau! Bukan itu saja, pigiPulau Mabul sekali! Ish, dahla tak pandai berenang ada hati nak pergi Mabul. -.-' Kalau nasib baik, bolehla pergi Sipadan sekali.yay!

Christmas

What does Christmas means to you? Well for me it means a time for all to get together and have a jolly good time. My parents, my dad especially has a very big family. Most of them are staying abroad so Christmas is the time when they come to Kuching to spend Christmas time. Last time when I was a kid, I enjoyed Christmas very much. Now I do still enjoy it but I noticed that nowadays there's not much Christmas spirit here in Kuching compared to major cities such as KL or Singapore.

Speaking of Christmas spirit, people tend to think that Christmas is all bout giving and receiving presents and holidays sales and whatnot. They forgot that the true meaning of Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus. Fun fact: no one knows when Jesus was born. Christmas was originally a pagan festival celebrated in somewhere, somewhere. When Christianity came, they turned the celebration into Christmas instead. That means you can celebrate Christmas everyday! yipee!

p/s: why do people always say x'mas all the time? it annoys me cause they're taking the christ out of chritmas and putting a freking X in it. -.-' its like making lemonade without lemons and calling it x'nade. gosh im soo sleepy now :) bye

Choral Speaking

Hmm... Apahal aku tetiba rindu nak choral speaking ohh? :/ Cuti ni dah macam-macam benda aku nak. Nak belajar pun ada, nak pegi jalan-jalan pun ada, sekarang ni nak choral speaking? Adoyai. Mungkin dah banyak kenangan pahit manis yang ditempuhi bersama. Walaupun masa aku join choral speaking ni, tak pernah jadi juara tapi memang best lah. Hehe

First time aku join choral speaking masa aku Form 1. Masa tu budak Form 2 ada masuk kelas kami tanya siapa nak join. Tak tau la kenapa takda orang angkat tangan. Last-last aku sorang jak angkat tangan. Lepas budak Form 2 keluar, kawan semua cakap 'aku nak join jugak lah'. Tadi kenapa tak cakap? =.=' So tak silap aku the next day ada audition, kena tell about ourselves in front of the teachers. One thing lead into another, aku masuklah team choral speaking SMK Wira Penrissen. Sobsob :')

Masa aku Form 1, script dia tajuk 'Peculiar Malaysians'. memang best lah script tu. Very amusing. Competition dekat SMK Balai Ringin, jauh woo. Tapi malangnya kami dapat tempat kedua kalah dengan SMK Muara Tuang :( But at least we got the award for best conductor. Masa tu memang kecewa jiwang karat berkarat-karat lah. Walaupun ada tempat tapi bukan juara. Bak kata pepatah, iPhone 4S dipinta,  iPhone 3GS diterima.

And then Form 2 takda competition. Taktaulah kenapa pulak. No budget kot :| Second competition early this year. Ah, tahun ni interesting sikit. Ada drama gitu. Kamiorang ada 3 minggu jak untuk practice script. Masa hari competition tu, ada sekolah yang SAMA SCRIPT dengan kami! Adoh! Hati memang dah nervous masa tu. Dahla sekolah kami last yang perform. Nanti mesti orang ingat yang kami copy script ni. Actually, kedua-dua sekolah ambik script dari sekolah yang memang terkenal dengan choral speaking-nya. So kami tak menang lah. Tapi, ada tapi jugak. Sekolah kami dapat markah tertinggi untuk performance dan sekali lagi dapat best conductor. eee... bagus jugak conductor sekolah aku tu ya hihi

Beberapa minggu sekepas itu, cikgu panggil group choral speaking ni lagi, tanya nak pegi competition lagi tak, kali ni untuk sambutan hari guru peringkat negeri. At first semua orang was-was nak join, pertandingan 2 minggu  lagi. Last-last join, start everything from scratch, script takda, movements takda. Buat script dah nak 1 minggu lepas  tu tinggal 1 minggu jak nak rehearsal. Then, jeng jeng jeng dapat 2nd place lagi. Ish, tapi masa tu kami takda pun rasa marah atau kecewa sebab kami tau memng boleh tahan orang berlatih 1 minggu dapat second place. Okla tu kan? This year cikgu ada suruh aku buat script untuk tahun depan, tapi sampai sekarang tak siap-siap. Tak tau la nak buat camana, nak buat yang lucu ke atau heart-moving. Esok lah nak mula. Hehe. Wish me luck guys :)

PS1: idk why I'm suddenly writing in BM here. Once in a while I like to stir things up you know, like when you cook, you gotta add a little variety or else no one is gonna eat you food.

PS2: maybe you have noticed that i added ads in my blog now. if you really care for me, do click those ads, its free and totally virus free unlike those "congratulations, claim your free iPad" ads. im not forcing you guys in any ways :)

79 Hari Lagi?

Homaigot! Betol ka ni? PMR tinggal 79 hari lagi? *panic mode* Adohai, camana ni? Preparations sejibik pun belom ready, tengoktengok dah nak PMR. Kepada adikadik ku yang tersayang, kalau nak PMR get ready awal yer. Ngee >< Jadi untuk memanjangkan post yang tidak sebeberapa ini, aku bagi korang tips untuk menghadap exam. *Tips-tips ni aku dapat dari internet dan dari cikgu sejarah aku.

Tip #1: Jangan makan kepala,leher ayam/ikan/daging. Cikgu aku cakap, tak bagus. Taktau la pulak kenapa. Hehe

Tip #2: Jangan tidur lambat. Otak kita perlukan tidur sebab dia nak save semua benda yang dia dah proses untuk hari tu. So sebelum exam janganlah tidur lambat. Bayangkan lepas menimba ilmu, pastu ilmu tu tak sempat nak save. Kan mampos kau. Bukan ada back up lagi.

Tip #3: Ni semua orang tau la. Makan secara sihat. Kalau makan sihat, badan sihat. Kalau badan sihat, otak pun sihat. Kalau otak sihat, pandai. Kalau pandai, BERJAYA la jadinya.

Tip #4: Kalau tak paham, tanya. Bak kata pepatah, malu bertanya sesat jalan. Kalau tak paham apa ysng diajar, tanya cikgu untuk keterangan lanjut. Takda cikgu nak makan korang kalau korang tanya. Kalau ya pun cikgu korang tu cannibal macam dalam cerita Robinson Crusoe, tanya la kawan yang lebih faham.

Tip#5: Speaking of friends, buat la study group. Belajar kat library kalau ada masa. Pastu kalau dah bekumpul, jangan pulak gossip pasal Kate Middleton pegi melawat LA.

Tip#6: IKLAN~Soya tidak baik untuk lelaki kerana boleh mandul. Betulkah?

Tip#7: Jangan belajar.......lama sangat. Dulu, entahla sapa yang cakap, belajar setengah jam pun dah cukup. Pastu rehat la, main game ke merempit ke. Then sambung belajar. Kan otak kita macam komputer. Kalau di-on lama lama kan hang. Melainkanlah otak korang dah diupgrade pegi processor quad-core macam si Adi Putra tu. Bahahaha

Tip#8: Kalau belajar, concentrate. Cikgu mengajar jangan cakap. Baru paham. Kalau dah paham, takpayah la nak revision lama-lama. Kan? Kan? Kan?

Sabah, imy :(

I seriously need to go for a vacation. Wait, im goin to KL on the 16, so that counts ( i think). But when asked what is my favorite travel destination,I would answer Sabah.

Why? Because Sabah has hands down one of the most beautiful oceans and mountains in the world. Second, I was born in Sabah- Semporna  to be exact. My dad calls me 'Bajau Boy' when he's with his Sabahan friends. He also worked in Sabah early in his carrier life. No wonder we go there ever two years for a trip. You can never get enough of it. This tradition started in 2007 where we went there by car up till Semporna, by birth place. Yep, Kuching--> Semporna by car. It took us a full 3 days. But this trip was not fun in the sun. Turns out that my name is not registered. Although I have a birth cert, its not valid. WTH +.+ yea. I've been living as an illegal citizen for the first 11 years of my life. Luckily this is not uncommon for births in Sabah in the 90's

view from hotel

The last time  I went there was in 2009. This time we flew there- in a plane ofc- KK was like so much more developed than Kuching. They have Burger King, awesome public transportation and only the largest mall in borneo, 1Borneo Megamall!! I went there and it took me an average of 2 hours per floor to explore! Not only that, the malls are literally next to each other! Unlike in Kuching where malls are too far for you to walk from each other. KK also has a packed city centre. Like everything is there, you can just walk everywhere.

The best part of KK though is that you can see the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park from the city. Its only 15 minutes boat ride from the jetty and it costs you about 15-80 ringgit, depending on how many islands you decide to go. There is Pulau Gaya, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Sapi, well thats all I could remember. There, the waters are crystal clear and you can see colorful fishes. You even get to feed them.

Other than its oceans, Sabah is also famous for Mount Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in South East Asia. The weather there is chilly, it feels like the aircon is turned on. There are even strawberry, cabbage and carrot farms out there. My mum's friend also told us that you can go up there and take a picture of yourself at one of the flower gardens and bulak to other people that you actually went to europe. Hehe

Yup, I miss Sabah very much. Fortunately my dad says he's taking us to Sipadan/Mabul next year. Yipee! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Don't your parents teach you manners?

Yeah, pissed off entry!. Hahah. Actually I'm not that pissed off. I'm just bewildered by the fact that some people don't have manners. And by manners I mean like at least have some chatting etiquette or something. This morning while I was onlining some guy started chatting me. I'm fine with people chatting with me. But at least start with a 'hi' or 'hello'. Ini tidak, terus cakap 'woi, sapa kau ah?'. WHAT THE HELL =.=' You think I aint go name woman? I have a name y'know. A nice one. ;) If you want to get to know people on facebook, have some manners. Maybe its fine for you to call strangers woi, but I find that very rude. I'm just sayin. And asking me who am I? WTH. If I'm the one adding you, never mind. Ini tak, pegi add orang pastu tanya lagi sapa. Menyesal aku pegi approve. Aiya manusia. So many ragam. So I took my precious time to compile a list of Do's and Don'ts. Well, just the correct way to start a conversation.

Correct:
Hi
Hello
Nice meeting you
Thanks for the add/app
mind to introduce yourself?
looking 4ward to being friends
*it is advised to add smileys like :) to make you look more friendly

Wrong:
Oi!
Wei!
H3Rl0w..... (wth is that?)
hYe.......,,,.,
hey sexeh (unless you want to be labelled ad a pevert, go ahead and use it )
*people who use capital and small letters alternately and/or substitute letters with numbers and use excessive punctuation marks are annoying. It takes time for you to write and it takes more time for people like me to read.

Bored =.='

Hi blog. :) I know I'm not updating my blog all the time now. I bet you my butt that if I leave my blog out in the wild, mushrooms will grow on it. Its just that I have so many work to do and at the end of the day, I feel exhausted and I'll say to myself; tomorrow lah update. sleep first. This procrastination thing has being going on for quite some time already. One day leads to another and soon before you'll know it, BAM! blog has mushrooms growing out of it. Hee 0.o

School's not been so kind to me either. After cny hols theres kelas tambahan. Then there's tuition. Well I'm kinda looking foward to start my tuition classes. Then there's Sukan Tahunan. omagosh. Sukan tahunan. Frankly, I'm not sure if I'm participating  but I've been joining latihan sukan for the past few weeks. Only acara balapan  of course, I'm not going to try out for acara padang even though people are paying me to(but if we talking serious cash, we'll see what I can do) ;-)

Here's the deal. When I was 10, I broke my hand during the long-jump tryouts. Since that very day, i stayed my way out of sports. Before all this I used to think sports is awesome. Now I'm worried I'm gonna break my hand. Well, having a broken hand is cool man, everything is done for you. But you have to go to the hospital and thats NOT my thing. Hospitals are creepy and they smell so anti-bacteria-y. I mean it wreaks medicine and sickly-smells. But the funny thing is, I like taking medicines. They're so awesome. HAHA. I know rite? Im weird. Don't have to tell me that.

Twitter

Guys, follow me on twitter! I have twitter for a few months now, but I rarely tweet cuz i don't think updating my status every few minutes or even hours is irrelevant. who in the world wants to know where are you know or when you eat or whether you went poo poo already. Unless you're like super duper famous or something. Then Im sure people will digg my poo poo-related tweets. lol.

So, follow me @ twitter.com/jurleonataleo or just search jurleonataleo. you'll find me there. I'll tweet if I have the chance. Its easier to tweet now thanks to twitter sms service's such as gladlycast and celcom twitter sms. God bless you guys.

Why are you talking to yourself?

A few days ago during History class while the teacher was teaching my friend who sat next to me asked
"Why are you talking to yourself?"
"Huh?"
This morning again, during a prize-giving ceremony another dear friend asked
"What are you doing? It seems that you are talking to yourself"
People, NO, I am NOT talking to myself. I not that loco okay. If you've ever seen me in the class or in any boring occasions with my hands over my mouth and talking or something like that, I AM NOT, I repeat I AM NOT talking to myself. HAHA. I'm just sing or humming to myself. Its my defense mechanism against boredom and such. I don't know why but during classes it actually helps me to concentrate better. Now I know some people are asking me questions on how to study and sorts. The truth is, I don't study at all till the last minute. For me, the facts stay fresh in my head if I revise them later.

Okay, back to the singing thing. If I'm bored I sing to myself. Not the American Idol tryouts kind of way, just humming to myself. Maybe the person next to me will hear sounds and ramblings; maybe that's why they keep on asking. I don't really recommend you to do this but if you wanna try out my tips its okay. But do it at your own risk. I don't want anybody blaming me for not paying attention in class. Ya hear that? I don't want to be responsible for anything.

So to the people who ever asked me, now you know why. So stop pestering me with questions and strange looks when I'm in the middle of singing the chorus of "We Wish You A merry Christmas"

I may look like this in the class but my brain is actually vacationing in the Bahamas :P

If Only (Last post of 2010) :(

I know I posted a lot of New Year crap these few days. But I promise you, this will be my last post of 2010. Aww... so sad :( 2010 is over. I know my poem sucks but enjoy :)

Goodbye

Its not easy to say

Its not easy to let go

There are moments that are bad

There are moments that are sad :(

 But now you are going way

I wish forever you will stay

All these times I had with you

I am thankful everyday, 

for everything I had then

So cheers to you, 2010 :)

If only I could turn back time

If only you would not go away

But life goes on  24/7

Great things are in store for me

For a prosperous 2011

If only I can change what happened

If only I can correct my mistakes

If only they can forgive me

If only you can see what I can see

If only I can relive the moments of 2010

That would be the greatest gift from God to me

Cheers to 2010 and Happy New Year 2011

10 Things I'm Not Looking Forward Too in 2011

1. School

2. PMR

3. Waking up early

4. Eating breakfast at 6.30 am

5. Sleeping early

6. Growing up

7. Taekwondo classes

8. Writing

9. Homework

10. Stress. Haha. (I don't know if that counts)

Christmas is over? Damn

Christmas is over? Damn. I hate it. NO, not Christmas, Christmas is AWESOME. I hate the fact that Christmas is over. And I hate the fact that school is after christmas. I also hate the fact that I am gonna sit for my PMR next year. Curses thee ye public examinations. Yes, i almost forgot what I'm gonna say. Okay, on Christmas morning I went to Saint Faith's for Christmas day service and the preacher told us that christmas is actually a pagan celebration being Christianized. This means that no one knows when exactly Jesus was born. That means everyday could be Christmas. Ya hear that? EVERYDAY. This is real good news for me. That means I can celebrate Christmas everyday and put up my tree for the whole year. WeeHaa :D

TeeHee >< (Not a post about teehee, its about my guitar and my inability to play it)

I don't know what to put as the post title so I just put that. TeeHee is an expression made famous by Ryan Higa, a comedian on youtube.  Meaning: Act of joyful giggling.


Actually that is NOT what I'm gonna blog today. Maybe next time but not today. On my birthday last July, my dad bought me a guitar. "Cool! A guitar?" you ask. I was like "Okay, this is cool" but there's one teeny tiny little problem. I DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY GUITAR. Yeah, that's the whole point of buying it right? So that you can learn. That's what I thought. So the next day I went to MPH bookstore to buy myself a "How To Play Guitar" book. Heres what happened:


Me: Yay, I'm earning how play a new instrument !*opens book*

... 1000 seconds later...

Me: This is hard ><. Maybe if I practice I'll be good at it. 

...the next day...

Me: *practicing till fingers look like french fries*

...the day after that...

Me: @.@ *gives up hope for now*

Hey, I'm not a quitter okay! In my defense, learning guitar is a LOT harder than piano. A LOT. Sometimes I'm amazed at how those other kids just simply 'pick up' a guitar and learn how to play. I salute you guys man.  Why say guitar is harder than piano? First, I'm left-handed. So there is a kind of learning difficulty there. But there are lefties that are really good at guitars Justin Bieber. They are famous too Justin Bieber. They make lots of $ too Justin Bieber. Second, in piano, the sheet music is fairly simple. It shows what note to play and how long do you play it. No memorizing anything (well just the chords, what notes has sharp or flat notes). If the sheets ask you to play E, you play E. Thats it. Guitar on the other hand has chords. E major, C major to name a few. And those triads stuff. And strumming techniques. Thats too much to remember man.

its fairly simple. Just press.

Guitar chords! Guaranteed to make french-fry looking fingers at the end of the day!

Okay to be honest I'm not a maestro at piano. I just play it. I didn't go to piano lessons. My sister does. I have a piano at home. Not trying to play it is just like buying first class tickets to Seoul and not use it. Its just stupid. (ironic huh?)


Maybe I'll just start playing guitar next year or something. In the meantime, my 6-stringed piece of acoustic musical instrument would just stay in my room and collect dust. Heck, it still has a ribbon on it! HAHA

Just sittin' there collecting dust.

It still has a ribbon attached 

If you look closely there's dust. 

Taking a breath of fresh air. :D

To all people who can play this instrument I envy you. Haha. I wish I can play but I'm too lazy to try. Like I say, maybe next year. When I finally know how to play a song you my readers are first to know and listen (warning: use of earplugs may be needed)

How My Day Went Today

Hello people of planet Earth. I know this may sound boring to you but I just wanna share how my day went today. As you know, today is payday. So that means shopping. Christmas shopping to be exact. I woke up this morning at around 9. Then I played Cityville(without even brushing my teeth lol). Then my dad came in and told me to get ready coz we're goin somewhere. So I got dressed and we went out. That time I didn't know we were going shopping. First stop is "The Largest BATA Store in Kuching". How big it is you ask? For starters, my house is bigger than that BATA Store. Then we went to eTiQa office@ Jln. Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce because my dad has work to do there. Well only my dad went in. We his children stayed in the car. Did I mention that the car engine is still running? So much for being green. Speaking of green, I saw a Toyota Prius there and it was beautiful! and green too. 1 point goes to Prius. When i grow up, I want to buy a Murano AND a Prius!

A Murano...

and a Prius

Enough of that. Okay, so after there we went to Penrissen Point to buy our school uniforms. There I reloaded my DiGi for RM10 but it didn't came in. That means bye-bye RM10. I should have spent it on ice cream or something. Curses you card-less reload system and that handphone store lady. Few hours later we had lunch and round 2 of shoe shopping. This time at a different BATA store. There I bought 2 pairs of shoes. An interesting conversation came up between my dad and the salesgirl at the store:

Dad: Sudah habis SPM ka?

Girl: Belom. PMR next year.

Dad: Ooo. Sekarang ini 14 tahun la

Girl: Yup.

Dad: Sama la dengan saya punya anak(me). You ambik la dia punya fone num berkenalan

Girl: ? 

Me: Heh. *matchmaking fail*=.=

 Next destination was a store in Tabuan-BDC-Jln Song area. Idk where it is. There I bought a new pair of jeans. So now I have around 6 pairs of jeans alone. Half of them I seldom use because its too big for me =.=. My aunt bought those pair of jeans in KL. She buys like 45% of my wardrobe from KL. She says clothes there are cheaper. Hey, aunty has a point there. So I don't have to worry about what to wear for a long time.

What I bought from Bata :D

Finally we went for dinner at Kota Sentosa. We ate at the open air market because I wanted to eat satay. They make the best satay's there. Funny story, halfway through our meal it started to rain heavily and one of those thingy's that support the tents collapsed and we got all wet (outdoor dining+monsoon rain= drenched family). And you know what? we finished our meal before leaving! 

Update: I finally bought my DiGi at another store. This time I made sure I used the reload card. DiGi even threw in a free 2011 calendar. Cool! But still, I spent RM20 on RM10 worth of credit. DiGi people ,if you are reading this, please replace my RM10. XD

I Feel Dumb =.=

Just now I tried to calculate what's the answer for 1+1. Its 3 11 6 3 . Okay, I need a calculator. 

Ahh, thats more like it. Owh, its 2. Hehe :D

Heh. Im not THAT stupid. But this few weeks I fell dumb. Just now I was bored so I read my maths book. The first chapter was okay but everything after that was pure gibberish. I am amazed at myself for understanding it BEFORE. People say your brain cells die if you don't 'connect' them somehow. (Who said that? That host for Anmum Essential Tom Tom Bak said that.) Seriously, I think my brain cells are dwindling. I don't wanna be stupid. PMR is next year. I will need ALL of my brain cells if I wanna ace that test. If only there's a way to bring them back to life. Aha! maybe if I start to read they will spring back into action.*opens Dr Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, whatever its called* GAH, this is too hard. I cant take it. Too many words. The picture to word ratio is totally off. it should be words:picture = 100:1. HEY, I still got my mojo in maths after all! Okay, okay, calm down Jurleo. Chill braddah. I need to get my brain running full speed cause holiday's almost over. I MUST understand all this gibberish or I'm gonna be dead.

Book Cover. Commence Operation Not-Be-Dumb

Uh huh. Ok, ok. This goes here and here...

*tries reading maths formula*

Okay, after an agonizing hour 10 mins of reading maths formula and understanding it ( I think my brain bled in the process XD) I got bored so I played with my calculator. Two of them. Identical twins. Don't ask me why I have 2 calculators of the same type. Its a sensitive subject.

Meet Calculator and Kalkulator :)

So I forgot how to use it, so what? Im human okay.

Learning outcome: After an hour 10mins of learning and reading previous exercises made by student (me) himself, the student has gained nothing. In fact, the students brain bled right after opening his first book and reading the first page. This shows that none of his brain cells are active. That before he knocked his head on the door. The impact shook his brain so hard and that scared the living daylights out of the brain cells inhabiting it. That made them active and back to normal. In conclusion, student has regained normal brain capabilities. Student is able to recall formula of Pythagorus' Theorem, surface area of two dimensional shapes and lots of other stuffs.

Keeping Family Traditions Alive.

In our family, they're only a few traditions. One of our yearly traditions is putting up the Christmas tree. Well, it sounds like fun if you ask me but it is not as fun as it sounds. Its a pain-stacking work where you have to put up the tree, put on the decorations while making sure it doesn't look like somebody puked glittery red and gold ornaments  on it and yes, you also may or may not get electrocuted when putting up the lights. Cause those 'made-in-China' items are as flimsy as my selipar jepun.  

My tree is leaning to one side. Good job Jurleo

     At first I got the job of setting up the tree. I was glad I got that job, instead of  putting up tiny ornaments; boy was I wrong. The tree(not an actual tree) was split up into segments and they all look alike. I followed the instructions but I still got it wrong. Man I'm bad at this thing. Fortunately Daddy gave some help. Few years ago before my dad moved into his new office, he used to chop down those pine trees that are by the roadside  in the middle of the night. Why didn't he just buy a tree instead I don't know. In his defense, those trees are gonna get chopped down eventually. 

Ornaments galore! 

This tree is huge man. Well not that huge. It wouldn't fit into my house it was huge. Its only 2 metres tall

This is how it looks like in the da.. "HEY, someone forgot to switch off the  TV =.="

Bling bling. Luckily no one got electrocuted :D
Cheers to me and my crooked Christmas Tree!

Not So Fun In The Sun

If you're looking for a fun vacation story, sorry mate. You're in the wrong blog. I am not going for a vacation this holiday.


     Holidays. Some say holidays are fun, some say holidays are boring and they wanna go to school while some can't seem to make up their minds. Well I've made up my mind : Holidays are boringly fun! For me, holidays are boring but I like it because its fun. I love being boring. It makes me creative. Heck, out of boredom I created this blog! I have a choice to go to school or stay at home doing nothing you know I'd choose staying at home in a heartbeat. Its not that I don't like learning and being a smarty pants and meeting friends and stuff, but I just don't like being in school. You have to wake up at times where ghosts and ghouls are still roaming around. Then there's those ridiculous rules we have to follow. I know its for our own good *yada yada yada* but they really should check up on our opinions first (Although I'd agree if papers are banned. Then we can bring our lappys! Support the green movement!). And don't get me started on the curriculum, who the heck wants to learn Science and Maths in BM starting from 2012? I know I don't . That is why I'm cherishing my last moments learning "Science and Mathematics" before it becomes "Sains dan Matematik" .
     Enough 'bout that. Let's focus on what I did during this 'boringly-fun' holiday period.


1. Facebook-ed


Thats like the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do in the night. Not that I love Facebook, (p/s: the new profile sucks eggs!) Fcebook the only reliable social network on the net. Twitter is too simple, none of my friends are on it. Friendster is like so 2004 and all the other sites are just plain lame. Facebook can get pretty boring too. Luckily they included apps such as games and quizzes. I hear old people are diggin' Facebook now. Man they are like 2 years behind the "You have facebook? Its so cool!" phase. I don't think they've ever heard of Twitter yet.


2. Farmville-d


This like one of the only reasons I log into my Facebook account anyway. Farmville is a fun and very addictive game about farming *duh*. I started playing Farmville on February and never stopped since. Its just so frikin' addicting! I'm in level 94 now and I have almost 10mil coins and 96 fv cash. Thats a lot of money were talking here people. 


3. Blogged


I blog everytime I'm bored. From the number of my posts, you can see that I am pretty bored everyday. But there are times where I have no idea on what to blog *staying at home pretty much killed most of  my brain cells* or plain lazy. Thats when I start to blog walk and follow people. I don't follow blogs sukahati by the way. I only follow blogs that are interesting and fun. I if I'm following you, that means you are one of my special ones. And if you are following too, that means you are super special to me. Because you are willing to subject yourself to reading my rants and unnecessary infos. Who am I kidding, my posts are masterpieces! *perasan* That means a lot to me people. 


4. Texted


I don't think people know this but I actually have two active numbers. Its hard keeping two numbers active, especially reloading it. Luckily one of my numbers are sponsored by dear daddy. So I don't haveto worry about that one. And then there's the fact that I have to carry two phones at a time. Fortunately one of them is skinny. God bless you Sony Ericsson for making thin phones. I love texting but lately I am short of text buddies. I have only 3 text buddies now; thanks to  Digi for letting me text and call for free. So if you are bored too and needing a text-mate, just text me at 01xxxxxxxx. Heck no I am not giving you my real number.


5. Watched TV


If you are bored and you haven't tried watching  TV yet I'm sorry to say this but you are dumb. Why dumb? Well TV is like the main source of entertainment for all layers of people in almost every household. They also provide sources of fun. I learn how to speak English from TV. But I don't watch Malay sows though. They are like so cliche. Every show has the same storyline, usually about businesses and executives, love as in difference in social status and stuffs. And they use Bahasa Rojak. If the government wants us to speak perfect Malay they should do something about this. But I watch Indonesian soap operas. I know they have lame complicated storylines, bad actors and annoying background music but there is something there that makes me feel like wanting more. The feeling of wanting to know what's gonna happen next. That is why I am addicted to watching Cinta Kirana. 


6. Cooked 


I also like to cook when Im bored. I don't know why but cooking makes me feel great. Eating what I just cooked is much more greater. What's not so great is when it doesn't comes out right. Cleaning the mess is not so great either because when I cook I leave both of my kitchens in a mess. But hey, someone' gotta do the job. The plates are not gonna clean themselves you know. 


So now you know what I did during my holidays. Pretty lame stuff huh? How about you guys? What did YOU do during the holidays? 

I am unique and so are you.

Honestly, I think the title sounds like it just came out from some lame crappy children's story book. 

Hi, my name is Boo

I am unique

And so are you

Hey, it rhymes! 

"Did you mean : giurleo" haha

Interesting fact: There is only one person  named Jurleo in Malaysia and maybe only one in the world. I looked it up on pipl.com and the result: only one person named Jurleo is in their database. That one unique person happens to be yours truly. You must be thinking how great it is to have unique names right? No, having hard names kinda sucks too. For starters, every time I type in my name in Word or any editor my name has that annoying red underline like I'm some criminal or something. Then there's the fact that my name is prone to misspelling. 75% of the time my name is misspelled so I have to spell it for them. Heck, even my friends misspell my name. 

    

 On the bright side, I get compliments on how nice my name is *perasan*. I can stand out in crowds and I don't get confused with other people. Imagine if i was named a common name like 'John' or 'Micheal'. People will ask "Which John?" and thats no fun for me. I got named Jurleo Nataleo Jurit for a reason you know. Maybe its because I'm a Leo. I don't know what my name means but one thing for sure; its SPECIAL. I'm sure theres lots of people who has better, nicer-sounding names than me, but I'm still grateful that I didn't have a dumb weird name such as Skideewappappidap or Human No.665400789923. Name's don't actually reflect who you are, so if you happen to know a guy named Skideewappappidap he may be smokin' hot. 

     But I'm sure no parents want to name their kids with silly-sounding names. What kind of parent would subject their child to taunts and teases by their peers? Everyone has a name, and that name has its meaning. Its unique, special and did I mention special?

p/s; pipl.com is a great website of you wanna play stalker for a day. Just type the name of the person and then it shows everything about that person on the Internet; blogs, profiles on social network sites, etc. Makes you feel like a detective or a spy.
