The Square Root of Sadness
I've been really bummed lately. Nothing has been going my way. No not even the simplest things.I'm not exaggerating. It's been really hard to keep a positive outlook on anything and the very act of telling myself that tomorrow would be better seems like anathema to me.
I've never been this stressed before. More experienced folks would say it's over nothing worth getting worked up over. Those who speak behind me now doubt my ability to cope with the amounts of stress experienced by one in the medical field. But this is all new to me, all new pathways, new sceneries. Ones that I'm unfamiliar with. And so I apologise.
I'm sorry for being a major pain in the ass. I sincerely am. If you don't believe me ...well I'm sorry bout that too. I know my bipolar fits of rage don't help either. I know what I'm supposed to do - to calm the heck down and remain optimistic. I'm just so tired, so very tired. I just want to close my eyes and never wake up. (No I'm not suicidal so you don't have to report this to my mom. Suicide solves nothing but causes more crap for other people especially those who care about you.) My eyes burn with weariness. I dread waking up every morning. Your morning greetings feel like a stab to my pancreas cause there's nothing actually good bout that morning.
I'm a stiff sorta guy. Uptight in other words. That's the way I was made and I accept it as fate. Some people are worry warts and others free spirits. That's the way it is I guess.
But I thank God for still caring bout me. Glad to know there's people like you around. Thank you for showing me what I must do. Thank you for making me realise that there are others out there who experience pain and loss. Some more than others. People who in all their sadness still have the will to carry on. People who still have faith in you. Who refuse to forget what you did for them and not turn their back on you.
It is said you have a plan for each and every one of us. I'm sorry I'm too blind to see what it is exactly. I hope I can bear with this till I get there. May I someday see what it was all along. I know, I know....I can't possibly fathom your reason.
I see now the pain others have. I will not compare and neither should you. This is my cross and so I shall carry it. :)
My deepest condolences to Terence and his family. God bless you always. I admire your spirit. All the best buddy.

Why Is My Nation So Damn Smart??
Christianity the official religion??? A secret meeting to change the official religion?? What is your problem people?? Now they want an investigation to inspect the claims. OMG!!!
"This has to be investigated, if this is true, we have to be careful, " said Pembela president Dr Yusri Mohamad. =.=lll
I guess the government is trying to win over the votes of the nation's brain dead cause only an idiot would believe this astounding piece of bullshit.
If you are really bored and are interested in more bullshit head on over to The Malaysian Insider and shake your head in dismay as you read the poppycock our nation is being fed.
Do they think it is that easy to change the official religion of the nation? Everyone should just go out and buy a Form 6 Pengajian Am textbook to enlighten themselves.
Honestly there is no secret plan by Christians to rule Malaysia. Frankly you can keep your country, it is yours as you say.We just want to live here by the Constitution in peace.IN PEACE!!
Here's more vomit inducing crap...
Aggressive Christians??? Wow.......................................................
And at the forefront of this bullshitery is Ann Wan Seng who should change his name to Am Too Paranoid.
"We need to feel threatened: the problem is our people don't feel anything, even when we are actually being threatened."
Does anyone in this country notice how passive Christians are even though you practically blame us for everything ranging from maksiat on Valentines Day, the poco-poco dance, global warming, gravity, chickenpox, etc etc...
How can I be proud of a nation who is just so mother fucking stupid??? You assholes are killing my patriotism. My love and pride for this nation is what I'm proud of.You fucking murderers are killing it. (forgive my language....I can't depict how annoyed I feel right now)
P.S : I'm officially using Utusan Malaysia as toilet paper.

What To Do Lah....
My name is Atlas Justin and on my shoulders I bear the weight of the world....
I know I'm not the most mathematically talented person but I try!!!! I work my butt off just to understand. I'm forced to train ala Rock Lee just to get it in my head. (In case you didn't know Rock Lee is this character from Naruto who has zero genjutsu (illusion techniques) and ninjutsu ninja techniques) talent and is forced to solely train on taijutsu (martial arts) to make up for his weakness). Fun fact for ya.....
It doesn't help when you,dear teacher,chose to ignore me when I ask questions.I'm not one who always gets it right the first time but I eventually get there.I can totally ignore what you are teaching in class but I don't.I can totally not do your homework but I do.I can be a total jerk and slack off in class but I don't.
I'm not afraid to ask questions thats just the way I am.I'm not afraid to voice my opinions too.Please, I know you are not paid by the hour or anything and your job is just to teach.But it would be a great deal if you could guide too and clear any confusion.Not just go "Lets move on to the next question."
I have nothing but respect for you.Offending you and pissing you off would be the last things on my mind.I want to excel and make you proud.
But from where I stand, if I get an A it is 75% my own effort.Hours spent trying to make head or tail of what you taught.Till then I will strive just so I can prove you wrong.Cause I enjoy nothing more than proving my critics wrong.
Now why do I have such a great history with math teachers....... :(
