Shortie: College, It Isn't That Bad

So yeah, I'm in college doing a Diploma in Mass Communication. And frankly, I don't understand how so many people can keep complaining about it being boring and assignments being tedious. I know it's just my first semester but the coming semesters look delightful and I am absolutely looking forward to Film Studies and whatnot.

Alright, now to continue writing my public speaking assignment. I think I'll do something on Ancient Greece.

Love you all just like the way you love me.

"What? Why?"

Well, I recently told a friend that "about 10% of the things I do I do just to disturb people".

This is particularly true. An example of this tendency would be my plan to buy up a whole street, rename it 'That Street' and build up several stores with names like 'That Boutique' or 'The Cafe with the Awesome Food'.

This will end up making people have awful conversations that will seem insanely irritating.

Dude: Hey, babe. Where are you?
Chick: Oh, hey honey. I'm at That Restaurant.
Dude: Hahaha, but seriously, babe. Where are you?
Chick: Oh, you know! That Restaurant right next to The Convenience Store That Sells All Sorts of Junk!
Dude: Are you cheating on me? You don't want me to find you do you?! That's it we're through!

And that is basically what my plan will cause sooner or later.

Ah well, back to enjoying my fries. Such is the diet of a college student.

Shortie: Throw Routine Out the Window

I have never been one for routine, preferring to do things my way when I feel like it. Of course, one must have adequate discipline for such a life so I'm absolutely thankful for my parents bringing me up the way I am right now: Orderly Chaos, I call it. Anyway, I may not be one for routine but I still end up getting things done in the end.

I don't know if everyone feels the same way, but I love having things done this way. It works for me.

Tsunami?

Oh hello, it's me, Jake Lo. Your brilliant, yet smokingly attractive writer/blogger/model/crap-talker. But enough about me for now, I have an important yet urgent matter to tell you all.

There is a tsunami alert involving Penang and most coastal areas. At least that's what I've heard. Anyway, just telling you all about this because I'm pretty sure everybody would want to know about something like this. It could be a hoax, but I'm not saying it is.

Just stay safe, people. I honestly care about you. Because without you, I will have no one else to read me.

Somebody Please Ban These People From Ever Owning a Vehicle

I've been driving for a few months now and it is without a doubt I am much better than when I first started out. And my experience on the roads have left me much wiser to the human soul. As in I know you people are all horrible drivers and your horrible driving skills piss me off.
Now, don't get me wrong. There are tons of great drivers out there with lots of manners but most drivers out there are selfish and wrong. And here's a list of the types that annoy me the most.

• People Who Can Ride Motorcycles As Well As Rebecca Black Can Sing - Now, there is nothing wrong with owning a motorbike and using it like someone who has passed their motorcycle-whatchamacallit tests. There are a lot of delightful motorcyclists out there. But when you Rempit about like a lunatic on your Honda Cub you are not only endangering yourself (nobody really cares about you and whether you crash or not, they just think you're a nuisance), you are endangering the beautiful people who drive like they deserve their valid licenses. And another thing, you people have your own space to drive. It's that strip of road on the left side of the line. I have lost count of how many times I've seen motorcyclists veer onto the space designated for cars. You are not a car, you stay within your effing line. Just today, this idiot of a motorcyclist had the audacity to stay in my way even when I beeped at him (seriously, he noticed). But I got him back, hope I gave him a scare.

See this? You are not this.

Now this. This is you. Now please, go away. Nobody wants you near them.

• Underage Drivers/Mini-Motorcyclists - These are some of the worst. You would usually see them out and about around village areas riding their parents' motorcycles like it's their grandfather's road. Well here's news for you, my very own granddad paved these roads for your effing convenience so technically it's my grandfather's road (in that particular area, at least). Your argument is now invalid. And they never wear helmets. Nuff said.

Show them one of these they will ask you what it is.

• People Who Drive Like They Have Somewhere to Be - Yes, I know you just got done with your Raya break and you're rushing back home because you already balik-ed your kampung and now you're going home but that is no excuse for you to drive like a lunatic. I mean, is it worth endangering your children? Perhaps you have awesome driving skills but that will not prevent me from crashing into you because all teenagers are like that. So keep your distance and I will not hunt done all of your relatives so I can discontinue your bloodline.

That is all for this Public Service Announcement brought to you by Jakers. You have been warned and if you choose not to take the advice, at least prepare the passports, fake ID's and moustaches you will need to escape the country.

Life's Good

I'm currently sitting in my apartment room, just chilling and all that. I just came back from Gurney Plaza cause I needed some stuff and Cold Storage seemed like a brilliant place to shop for groceries.

So, sorry guys if I don't have any pictures up yet. I don't feel good about it either. In fact, I feel like a politician, promising things to the public he will never do. But anyway, Orientation Day 1 and 2 are over and to the people who were there, they would know that I did tons of things like being part of a letter 'E', dance that Nobody dance thing from the Wonder Girls, attempted to remember everyone's name, course and hometown in 15 minutes (and successfully, I might add) and just plain made people notice me.

Here are a few updates on moi. My room's pretty okay, I still cook like a teenager, and my dad won't get me a car until I know all of Penang's roads like the back of my hand. *Looks at back of hand* Where the heck did that mole come from?!

So yeah, that's all you need to know for now, I suppose. More to come, my lovelies!

I'm Here, Baby!

So, as some of you may know I have moved to Penang. Today. Currently, I am writing this in my apartment bedroom.

I have an awesome view of the pool and everything, the balcony has a view of the ocean, and it's a 5 minute walk from Gurney Drive. This is great. :)

Well, I've got to go do some stuff now. Pictures soon!
