Choosing words carefully.

Ok peeps.
Serious blogpost today.
Here goes :

A lot of things we say or ask can either cause or prevent us from sounding hurtful.
Or if you catch words coming out the way they shouldn't have, rephrasing swiftly would
save you, you, you, and all of us. So my suggestion is to make phrasing your good friend.
Unless you really intend to hurt with your words then I'm sorry for you.
I'm working on it myself, and I've some examples to share with you peeps.
They may sound slightly exaggerated but different people take them at different
degrees so it'll be clearer this way. To me, at least.

When something goes wrong and the first question is:

"What did you do?"

Where it puts the receiver: You are the cause, because if you didn't do whatever
wrong things you did, I wouldn't be asking you about what you did. You should
be responsible for whatever went wrong. (How conclusive, ey?)

Instead, use: "What happened?"

I like this one because it's not pointing fingers (which I'm sure none of us want
to do before knowing anything), and it gets the person to tell you the situation.

Next one,

When someone reacts unexpectedly and it doesn't please you and you go:

"Why are you like this?"

Where it puts the receiver: Why are you behaving in such a way that I disapprove of?
I don't understand why you did/said what you did/said. I obviously think you're wrong.
You are the problem and that's the reason why I'm asking you why you're like this.
(The last line sounds like a tongue twister. :p )

Instead, use: "What made you feel this way?"

That way, you would get to listen to how it is like to be viewing the situation from
the other side, a chance to understand the other person's reactions and maybe even
help the them see the reason themselves (which could be themselves), resolving issues.

The use of 'you' in these questions would naturally put them in 'attack' mode and
may cause the other person to go all defensive even though we may not mean to
'attack' (blame/point fingers) at all. That's not really going to bring any of us
anywhere nice. Unless of course you're talking to someone who really
understands you, then lucky you. But how many of these people do we know?

Delve on it. Peace out - Kenkino (blog author)

Study break

Yo peeps!
Alright the only reason I decided to update my blog is cuz it's either this or studying.
I'm sure only nerds would prefer the latter.
AHHHHH. End-of-block exam starting next monday!!!
I HATE EXAMS.
The thing I hate is that I seriously don't feel like studying but I'm FORCED to read my slides if not I'm so screwed when the results come out.
GRRRRR.
NO MOOD STUDY BUT TERPAKSA. -flingtable- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

The skeleton below is literally me right now. >.< (If I fling the table, my ulna and radius would snap off)

Anyhoo, enough of NERDRAGE, time for the usual opening humour.
Since it's the exam season, I'll just go for study/exam memes.

Last minute cramping for exam is screwed up. But dunno why, I seem to repeat this habit over and over again. Oh well, made it through the past 3 blocks even with last-minute studying :D ^o^ v

Anyway, this EOB is darn important cuz dental students are made compulsory to pass it to proceed to second year. If fail then have to repeat it and if fail the repeat then... gg.com.
So far my weekly assessment marks have been kind to me so just pray I'm able to pass next week.

Just mastered my guitar strumming for Pricetag by Jessie J. Next up, aiming to master fingerstyle playing for Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill. The lyrics for this song is just wow. Beautiful. Thumbs up.

OK, BACK TO STUDYING. PEACE OUT FROM KENKINO.

Addictive Beverages

Hmm.
Nothing to blog about lately.
Which explains the 1-month absence of mua, the blogger of this greyish-roadlike-designed blog. @@

ANYHOO.
OPENING HUMOR.
AS ALWAYS.
:D

HAHA.
LOL DON'T DENY IT.
EVERY SINGLE HOMOSAPIEN ON PLANET BUMI EXPERIENCE THIS SOMETIME IN THEIR LIFE.
1 single wrong phrase and BAM!
Game over.
Life's a bitch, deal with it, bitch :D

Oh ooh here's another one!

NICE TWIST OF WORDS BRO.
PS : If you think that the sentence above makes no sense, then your english level is bullc***.

So anyway, back to the point.
Sat for my MUET (Malaysian University English Test) two weeks ago, overall it was okay I think. Hope I'll be able to obtain at least a band 4 as that's the minimum english requirement for my course.
Worried about writing, and here's why.
Writing essays in a test is really very subjective and depends entirely on the preference and style of writing of the marker himself/herself. If the dude doesn't dig my style of writing then I'm so screwed. Hope he/she sticks to the marking criteria set forth by the MUET board and not give marks solely based on personal preference which is downright biased.
Worse yet, my essay question was 'Everyone should be a millionaire by the age of 35. Discuss.'
When I first read the question, I was literally dumbfounded. Really have to think outside the box to write this particular essay.
Tsk.

Randomness : Digged up this pic of me digging up dirt from the undigged drain.

Next up, a question I'd like to direct to coffee/milo/tea/et cetera addicts :
Have you ever had the urge for time to move faster just so that you can have your next cup of favourite beverage?
I mean, take coffee for instance.
Damn alot of caffeine in a cup of coffee.
Guaranteed insomnia if consumed after dinner.
So that makes the next cup the following morning. Weirdly, sometimes at night I want to sleep earlier so that when I open my eyes in the morning, FINALLY I CAN HAVE MY CUP OF KOPI! :D

But now I've moved on to Milo, fawk coffee :D

To wrap this post up, here's the song of the day (Eminem's voice is epic) :

Reaching Goals

Yo peeps, how's life?
For me, life's a rolling up & down roller coaster lately.
Good days, bad days.
Tsk.

Opening humour (trolling essence essentially) :

Thumbs up at no. 2 -chuckles-

Anyway, been working out quite alot lately.
Results so far :

Progress progressing according to plan, which is good haha.
Kinda slided back on working with weights during A-levels.
Aiming to get back to looking like this dude here :

Anyway, back to the point of this blogpost.
So yeah, goals.
I'm sure you all have your own personal goals in life.
Be it dealing with ambition, academic merits, tackling a special person's heart, et cetera.
PS: The third one is darn tough and needs a shitload of effort to accomplish =.=
My point is, even though things don't look promising at first, don't give up.
Keep persisting and put in your very best in achieving what you're aiming for.
In the end, even if you don't achieve it, screw that shit, cuz you've already put in your very best so there's no regrets whatsoever. Am I right?
The worst mistake a person could ever make is to not put in his very best in wanting to get something/someone.
Do not be that person.
Quote : Do it now, you become successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile goal.

Alright then, wish you guys all the best in living life to the utmost fullest. :)

Well, studying 24/7 made me blur blur liao soooo messed around with Paint.

Now when I look back, A-levels is kacang compared to med school shyt.
Oh how I wish I could forward time to 5 years ahead, where I don't have to study anymore D:

Found a pic on my fb homepage about the relationship between our appetite and our mood.

If you catch my drift once again.
Tee hee hee.
If you don't, then grow up please. Thx.

Song of the day :

Standing At Crossroads.

Been listening to this song on repeat today.
Kinda dig the rock feel to it.



'I tried so hard and got so far, in the end it doesn't even matter.'

Been doing a shitload of thinking these past few days about a personal issue of mine.
Basically, I'm currently standing at crossroads in my life.



My decision will force me to let go of 1 and choose the other.
Life is all about choices, undoubtedly true.
Choices which could potentially affect the outcome of our future should be delved on wisely and thoroughly before being decided.
Sometimes, I just wish I could go to God directly to ask Him what His plan for my life is.
I mean, this uncertainty I'm currently facing is just downright unpleasant.
What if I make the wrong decision?

Did you ever feel like going back in time so you could change how things would turn out?
Honestly, I wish I could return to the time before I entered SEGi.
So far, there's been like so many blunders I've made since I came here.
If only I knew what those blunders were in the first place, I could have avoided them.

Yes, I know that life is about making mistakes and learning from them.
But sometimes, the mistakes that we make are irreversible and we just cannot return things to the way they used to be.
The damage simply has been done.



Don't take people for granted.
In short, do NOT play with someone's feelings. Just don't.
People who knowingly do that have a seriously screwed up conscience.
Confucius: "Do not impose on others what you do not desire others to impose upon you."

The best moments in life are hanging out with close friends and just enjoying the warm atmosphere subconsciously created by being close to each other.
