Hate is a word that is thrown around rather often. He gave you that look because he hates you, someone says. She bitches at you in your face because she thinks you're hateful, another adds. Well many times behaviour is not simply based on whether someone loves or hates you.

Sure, these 2 spectrums are the most obvious and clear cut explanations for any actions acted upon anybody, but people usually leave out things like envy, jealousy and just plain fake behaviour in exchange for personal gains.

Who is to say that jibe was not due to jealousy? That someone else has something you dearly wanted but is unable to attain. So in order to keep that bruised ego in check, you take a cheap shot to temporarily make yourself feel better. Or perhaps all this was unintentional, it just came out from the mouth as some sort of reflex action when your mind detects insecurity? Afterall, we take jibes at our friends so often. It's not possible that all of us secretly hate our friends right?

Envy often expresses itself rather more than hate.

Ok I have to admit the information in this post is not exactly piping hot right out from the oven, but for anyone who happens to be deciding between a Samsung i450 and Nokia N81 this may be helpful.
They're in fact very similar so it's largely up to design and brand preferences, and whether your choice of being connected is high speed 3G (which only makes sense if you've got a data price plan) or you don't mind getting connected only when there's a hotspot.

The i450 is touted as a music phone with input from Bang & Olufsen's technology while the N81 is more of a well rounded entertainment phone with greater gaming possibilities. Plug in your own headphones and the N81 will definitely not disappoint though. Plus the fact that I'm a cheapo, WIFI capabilities was definitely an attraction for me cos I can go online at (free!) hotspots. So between these 2, I'd say buy the N81, which I did. But be mindful that both phones have pretty sucky cameras.

I'm pleased to say that the N81 is the precursor for later N-series models as far as design is concerned. Below are the N78 and N96, which should be out on the market very soon.

Left-handers are smarter people than those whose master hand is the right one. Discuss.

I was doing shopping at the supermarket with a friend today. In my shopping basket was a 2 1-litre cartons of juice, a towel and a bowl of instant noodles. Upon arrival at my hall later in the afternoon, I threw my shopping bags (from the supermarket and somewhere else) on the floor, grab some notes and head off to the study room.

I came back to my room at 11pm, looked up at the shelf and saw that the bowl of noodles bought earlier wasn't there. Turning to the plastic bags, I realized the bowl of noodles was nowhere to be found. Then, I suddenly remembered about the towel. It's not here too!

Finally it dawned on me. The supermarket cashier must've packed the dry items and wet ones separately and I totally forgot to take the one containing the dry items. How retarded. Therefore I conclude that people who write with their left hands are not necessarily smarter.

Go to this website http://www.quia.com/ba/1476.html to find out if you often misspell certain words.
The exams are coming up next week and it's always peak period for people to start doubting themselves and thinking they're quite useless. I happen to be one of those people.

So I'm going to blabber like some unstoppable whining moron now. It feels like the oxygen I've been using up to support my less than contributive existence. Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe the feeling that's in me right now. Firstly it's really annoying that in my repertoire of skills I can hardly find something that is of particular value to myself and everyone else. And secondly it's really a huge fucking disappointment that despite 60% of people hating what they're doing right now they can suck it up and complete the journey while I can't. If you've already read my last post, you'll know I hate to appear like an absolute failure. And the inability to march on is a perfect example of being a loser.

Many paths we take along the journey leads to something we'll totally detest. How can I ever find the strength in myself to carry on?

I was sitting in my room in a state of laziness so I began to wonder why I've been in a less than fantastic mood lately. There were some obvious annoyances for sure, but they're probably slightly exaggerated. So it dawned on me. I've felt like my life is kinda loser-ish for awhile now. It's frustrating to feel that not much that I set out to do or put an effort in work out the way it's meant to be. To me, at least.

Let's face it, no one like to be a loser or likes to lose. That L word makes you feel bad about yourself, and often brings out the worst in you. And I have to admit I hate to lose. Some may show their unhappiness at losing, I choose to bottle it up until it feels like I'm a total loser, then I lash out at someone or something. Maybe running round the school will help. Being in a rotten mood helps improve physique in this way, so I encourage all be pissed off everyday.
