Hydrate me!

Still remember those days in Primary 6? No not ur first crush or the weird mask we had to wear due to the prevalent haze at that time.

One of the things we learnt from the Science subject I meant. There is a topic on 'Water'. Eh? Maybe not. The syllabus have changed somewhat. I am sure the recent syllabus's ones do have this line thou'

"Up to 70% of a person is water"

Ring any bells?
Yeah who gives a **** about that fact, u nerd.

Nah, it is just a statement that I am starting to become skeptical about.
Not only that statement. The statement below too!~

"Average consumption of water - 8 glasses a day. (i.e. said to be around 2 litres)"

I'm having a lil' bit of headache, accompanied by dry mouth and thirst at the moment.

According to this source, the above are signs of dehydration!

"Ohh.. for sure tak minum air lah.. Green Tea summore lah"

Wrong!

If you've read the recent 'tagged' post more carefully, I stated that I have a tendency to drink lots of water in a day.

Before I inform you of my drinking water statistics, I'll introduce my loyal water bearers first.


My loyal friends:

Loyal friend 1

What so special? Look below!

2000 ml .. ie. 2 litres!

The BIG Bottle! [Code: BB] Hahaha.. This bottle tends to be one of those rare ones that tend to cause a minor commotion among your friends when you take it out from ur bag. Heard from mum, such a bottle (plastic+2 litres) is hard to find over here. This bottle came all the way from KK btw!

Loyal friend 2

What so special?

Nada handle lo.
You can see a part jutting out that was once linked to the handle.

The small bottle [code: SB]. Normal bottle, won't cause any commotion of any kind. But extremely portable! =)

OK.. And now my drinking statistics.

What I usually drink on a typical day:

+

+

+

Do the Math!

BB + BB + SB+ SB
= (2 + 2 + 1 + 1) lit
= 6 litres!

That is about 3 times the average amount of water a human being should drink!

WALAO!

But during days which I have class, nah.. Not so much. Maybe around half of that amount only. But still above average!

I've already completed 2 BB for today. Now on the verge of completing the 3rd one. But the effects of dehydration seem to be coming to me. Ohh.. I played ball today. Maybe I lost way too much water thru' sweat, which is the cause for today.

I don't know.

Any soon-to-be-doctors or well-fed-with-medical-info person who could figure this out? Hahaha.. Is there something wrong with my osmoregulatory system(<-- learnt from AS Bio. I wonder if its the right term to use) or not? Maybe not ..
Maybe I was an aquatic organism in my past life!!

Hahaha.. Bah.. That's it for today.

Off to rehydrate!

-end-

"Run Bern Run!"

"Run Bern Run!"

Come this Saturday (2nd of August), these shouts are bound to be heard over and over again.

Its coz, I'll be joining the LufBru Games, basketball is the sport. But that's not the big issue. The biggest issue of that day would be that we would have to play 5 games!!

5 Games in a day! WOW!

No wait, not in a day.. Its in a night!!! 5 Games in a night!

Look at the schedule.

My team would be under 'MC' (Shaded red)

30 mins per game.

5 games per day.

30 x 5 = 150

Which makes it 150 mins(purely playing time) of running, jumping, screaming, body banging, shouting, arms flailing, wild perspiring n armpit smelling.

!!!!

Uggh? Not to degrade the game of basketball. But that is more or less bound to happen considering the brilliant designs of basketball uniforms. Ohh.. Im talking about the final verb in the previous paragraph, if you've lost track. Hahaha..

I don't know if I have enough to last that long. LOL.

What's worst?

" Only 3 subs!! "

What's more worst?

" Im playing up front, which means I'd be most likely more prone to sprints
to the hoop while having your opponents chase you from behind.
(It's called the 'fast break') "

What's even worst?

" There's a coach! Which means no time to slack, no excuses, no occurences of stupid mistakes. Eek"

Eh, u r getting more n more cialat eh. Keep on complaining. Anymore mah?

" 2 mins break per game?
Walking to n fro to the bench alone already takes up that 2 mins lor.
More break time please! "

" No aircon! Means freaking hot n humid inside. How to breathe? "

" No first aid team. Pengsan how? "


" No place to buy 100 plus inside. "

Human nature isn't it? Or just Bernard nature? Hahaha.. Our brains have no problems at all when it comes to churning complains. It ain't the case when we have to write up our 50 page reports thou'. LOL

Okok, stop the complaining. Now the GOOD:

" There is a cash prize! "

" Certs! " Yawn.. hahaha

"There might be a cutie watching!" LOL

Anyways the main point is the excitement and fun of joining a competition and the love of basketball itself.

Competitions challenge a person to do their very best. This is where all the training and hard work done all these while should pay off and is also where you can benchmark yourself among the others and see how much of an improvement or de-improvement(is there such a word? LOL) you have achieved.

May God bless me and all my fellow teammates for this tourney.

Damn.. I can't wait already!~

Hahaha.. In conclusion, since there are no strong indication of whether to throw/stay with this template, I'll just leave this template as it is for the time being. I'll change it when I get bored with it.

Long live the plain template!~!~

a "b" not "c"!

Now, I've been trying to find inspiration to even log on blogger.com as of late. Now this definitely got me doing it.

Its a freaking problem! *pfft!

[Be sure to click on those images else this post ain't making sense!]

Wahlao Bern, my 10 yr old bro can solve this in a few minutes!

*

Not that lar.. Its about the formatting..
We have all encountered this from time to time I believe.

*

My supposedly next move -- add a 'b)'
Seems smooth..

*

Wait lar! Don't decide yet. What happens when you press Spacebar?

Whoa.. magical.. Cool for the kids, but uncool when you wanna get things done mate!

****


The solution that sometimes works(bottom): <-- Notice: SOMETIMES!

Highlight that area - Turn off Automatic Numbering

*

The end-product:Ahh.. my 'b)' is back..

Weirdly I did try this solution just now, but it didn't worked!
It just happened to work when I purposedly wanted to screenshot it! HAHAHAHA


Anyways, why 'c' instead of 'b' I wonder?

Maybe there is their algorithm detects a 'b' in the sentence already leh?

Here's the sentence:
Where b????!!!!


Warning: The following has gotta be lame:

"Got ah got!!! Its algebra mah.. Spell algebra!"

A-L-G-E-B

"Stop stop!!"

Oh ya hor.. got B oh! LOL

Sorry about that. I don't know whether this freaking problem applies to MS Office 07 only? I guess it does apply to those from the Word family eh.. I remember encountering this sort of problem before.

"Eh then why again ah , Bern?"

Beh cai lah.. (Dunno)

"But then, that should be your specialty man.. It should be like CK and his mic, Eve and her rojak, Shy and her batik, Ing with her longan taufu, Mok with her Mok dessert and Kiat with his bbq lamb leh!" (Opps)

Weirdly, we do not learn those in our classes. Yeah you've heard it. I don't know, but I guess the computer field is super freaking wide, we cannot be taught every damn thing under our 4 year CS course. No courses on what-to-do-when-XP-hang-ah or on mastering any of the widely used applications.

I've encountered cases where people come up to me asking me how to solve problems in some of those Microsoft applications, with their laobu (mommys) at the back saying "Eh go find Ah Bern loh.. He studies computer one leh"

Those aunties somehow think that the computer field is freaking small eh.. Can become expert in a 4 yr course ah? Hahaha..

Thus feeling the added pressure (certainly not peer pressure.. Call it aunty-pressure haha), I continue solving their problem. Of course, unlike any normal problem, there is an added determination to solving this problem coz u should be the expert right??

Eh No no!

What if you can't solve the problem?

To educated person:
I'd go "Ahh, never encountered this problem before. I can't help it. I tell you what. Open your ears widely, go grab a pen n a piece of paper. Ready? w-w-w.g-o-o-g-l-e-.-c-o-m" hahaha

To your 7-yr old cousin, whose ah ma thinks studying Computer means you're the God of Computer Problems:

Cham liao..

Approach 1:Tell em I cant solve, then most likely they might think the computer is rosak! ahahaha..

betang betang..

Approach 2: This aunty might go around telling people "Eh that Ah Bern beh kiang one.. gong gong one.. Study computer till uni liao also dunno how to solve computer problem.. " hahaha..

There you go.. Its not only our uni' syllabus (Our uni's do touch on those applications in the 1st year thou'.. but it's quite brief), where ever you go.. Same case. No such courses included in the programme at all. That gives you the reason why Im complaining bout the freaking problem above.

That is why this post existed in the first place!

Anyways, Good day ppl, Aku belum makan ni.. Its lunchtime!

Urgent! Foster homes required for 8 puppies!

dear dear postman..

Dear postman,

With a massively heartbroken spirit, I am writing to you to sort things out between us two.

I still remember the day we met. We were from 2 different worlds. However as fate would have it, we met and we were together. I was in a stuffy dark place along with my other species for an awfully long time. Day after day, things looked the same. All I see was darkness. I kept asking myself, how am I going to survive this horrid time. Which part of the planet would I be going to? It was a very depressing period indeed. It was until that very fateful day, when one day, there was this loud noise that awoke me. I opened my eyes and to my delight, I saw light! Yes! My captivity period is over!

A man took me out into a very different environment, which was cool at first, but then got freaking cold after a while. He looked at me for quite a bit. Heh, pervert. Sheesh.. all men are like that. "Just bear a few minutes lar", I said to myself. Me and my mates were then grouped accordingly in different groups. I don't know why though. Maybe I was hotter than the rest. Nevermind that. Anyways your friends took good care after me. All of them. All gave me good strong looks, Im sure they all admired me!

Then the inevitable happened. I was introduced to you by your friend. He sort of said something that I did not understand at all. You were different from your mates thou'. You had something that was different from your mates. They had this black thing on top, that looked like some sort of alienated plant/grass. Some looked like black thorns of cactus. However yours were different. Yours was red and shiny. That was what caught my eye. However looks aren't everything. "Never judge a book solely by its cover", I reminded myself.

It was the actions that count. With warm hands, you held me up and looked into my eyes. You then brought me into a warm place that wasn't as cold as the previous place. The place was filled with my mates. Some old, some new. You seemed to understand me. How could I ask for more I wondered? You provided me with warmth and company. Every now and then, you would even open up the enclosure to give me light and air. Not only that, it seemed that you would bring one of my mates out and put them in different places when you did that.

I thought it was sad at first because slowly each of my friends were leaving. However after a while, I started to understand. You were giving each of us new accomodation.

Some of their accomodation looked like this..

Advantages: Spacious, lots of bright light, fresh air!
Disadvantages: No window

Advantages: Moderate bright light/ fresh air, window
Disadvantages: A lil' smaller

Some more...
Advantages: Shared accomodation thus you have company

Disadvantages: No window, thus dark and window

Some some more...

Advantages: Shared accomodation, not hot
Disadvantages: Window very tiny (keyhole)

Some some some more ...

Advantages: You meet totally new friends in all sorts of forms and shapes
Disadvantages: Smells weird in there

Yay! It's like we are going on vacation! We get to live somewhere else. "Aww.. how sweet of you", I thought.

Patience was all I need for me to be in my new place. I spent the rest of my time fantasizing of my new home. Which one would I be in, etc etc.. My friends were all excited too. Everytime you opened the enclosure, we were all hoping that we were the ones to be selected.

Then the day came. As usual, when the "grrrrr" sound that came from you stopped. That somehow became a signal to us, that you were about to open the enclosure. On the fateful day, you looked around and held up a few of us. You looked at each of us carefully. I guess you were a lil' sad that we will be leaving you. I was sad too. As professional as you were, you placed my friends into their new homes. One by one each were being introduced by their new homes. A few of them, had their tenants welcoming them even! They also blurted out something similar.. Sounded like "Tens postman!". Some were "Ten u postman!" From there on, I knew that your name was 'postman'.

Somehow I was the last on your hands during that time. You looked me once more with the typical look that warms my heart. "Here goes", I said to myself. I was excited and sad at the same time. I could feel my tears coming each time I glance at you. "I couldn't bare it anymore!" I closed my eyes. I did not want to look ugly in front of you with my tears and all that.

Then..

I could feel that I was placed in somewhere a lil' different this time. It was warm at first, then quickly it became hot. It was noisy here. Hah.. Opened my eyes. Whoa.. It was so bright! Wait a minute.. Where are the walls? Where are the windows? Where are my friends? This accomodation definitely looks unlike one! I turned to look for you. Saw you, but you seemed to not hear me at all. I screamed at the top of my lungs for you but still you never turned back to look at me.

I realised you left me all alone in the middle of nowhere. It definitely broke my heart. From now on, I wish not to hear from you anymore Mr 'postman'. I hate you!

Yours truly,
Your neglected letter

PS: Assuming the letter is a female! Hahaha.. This story is a true story. This letter ended in this blog's author's house as shown in this pic. The author also saw the postman doing it with his own bare eyes!!! Plus the author's house had a mail box which was only a few feet from the place where this 'kesian' letter ended at. I don't know. Is this a common practice here in Brunei, where the postmen can somehow did not or cannot spot ur brightly coloured red mailbox for seemingly no particular reason at all?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just changed my blog template. I felt the previous one made the text somehow hard to read. I don't know.. Tell me what do you all think? The poll is on the top right hand corner. Let's make this blog a better blog aight?!~ Bleh~ Thankies!

Be Inspired

Study the pic:

What is this pic trying to portray?
What sort of message should such a pic give?


*


*


*


THINK first please...

*


*


*


Go re-study again for the last time please...


*


*


*


OK? Confident with the answer le ma?


*


*


*

OKay, I hope the answer you had has something to do with inspiration.. hahaha

"Walao! Sure bo? Doesn't look like it at all, man!"

Hehe.. Not very sure actually lol.
Im no super-duper-pro analyser of pics who can read correctly the message a particular pic is trying to tell.
Its actually one of the random pics I took sometime back when in the hope of capturing a nice pic showing the sun setting down.

"Har? Then what makes you think it gives a 'be inspired' message now?"

The bright sun.
I felt it showed hope!
In other words, hope down the stretch of road/journey.

"Ya la.. so it should give a 'hope' message instead of 'be inspired' lah. Bodoh lah lu."

Yes, the proper message should be around "hope".
Hah!
Anyways, the general point of this pic is to 'be inspired'.
Don't make sense eh?
Nevermind just read on and God bless.. Most likely it will by then..

Pictures have the power to send out messages.
Hope is just only one of em.

What should we do when the tough gets going?
What happens when it seems like there is no more hope?
Should I give in? or give up?

Once in a while, we do need that kick in d back. That 'spark'. The 'thing' that makes you dilate your pupil, sit up straight, adrenaline pumped at full efficiency, fists closed, then the 'message' suddenly appears and it says :

"Ill work hard!"


"I will strive!"


"Bring it!"


"Im ready!"


and many more self-reaffirming, positive statements that'll do nothing but bring good to you

That 'thing' we need is INSPIRATION.

I believe there are a few definitions of inspiration..

The one I'm referring to is this one below(from an Oxford dictionary btw):

Inspiration is defined as
'somebody or something that makes you want to be better, more successful, etc'

There you go..

Inspiration as seen from above can come from pictures. Where else?

Words

Words takes on many forms of uses. One of em is being an inspiration.

It is undeniable that our lives are filled with ups and downs. Whoever says that he/she only has ups only is a pure dumbnut that has no direction at all.

Thus, I thought, "why not share inspiring statements that I might stumble across?"

Not only will it serve as a reminder to me. Who knows? It might be of help to u too..

BINGO!

With that, the 'Be Inspired' section was born.

Scroll up for the first one! Top-right hand corner please =)

The end.

Offline != Online ?

Im sure, nearly every living breathing youngster, nah maybe 98% of all Bruneian youngsters can be deemed as MSN-addicts. No meh? Then confirm is the Double "F" addicts, u know what Im talking about. Facebook or Friendster. Ok nevermind that.

OK, we spend so much time online until we develop a persona called the "online personality". For some, it might be the same as your offline attitude, maybe not.

From my own personal view, people who are genuinely confident of themselves acquire the "offline att. = online att.", whereas the others who not sufficiently confident of themselves! As simple as that.

When you're confident, you portray yourself as yourself! No matter where, with or w/o others' presences and of course confident ppl don't careless about the judgements of others. True right?

Offline = Online - When it is the same
Offline!=Online - When it is not

"Eh Bern, when a person is confident, he can also portray himself as some other person leh! He is confident liao mah!"

True true, but who'd wanna do that? Its only when:

a) you're insecure that you'd wanna do that (which means you aint confident lah)

b) you wanna try to "test test" a different personality for fun (which is no harm, but do it on a permanent basis, u're definitely made up of "unconfident" material)... or

c) you wanna change urself , you think you wanna have a greater personality! (oi, do it offline if ur confident)

d) you're shy(When you're usually not) coz ur nerves attack u when u're in his/her's offline presence (aww..that's love. *shudders* {Sorry for that LOL} )

Its normal. I feel the most confident(Note:not over-confident or arrogant) man/lady on the planet) will face that prob. too. Maybe its not as nerve-wrecking to type rather than talk f-2-f in the initial stages. Getting to know more of your crush online. Shudn't be a problem, I guess. But make sure that ain't STALKING!!)

e) you think your crush/boss likes/admires that "sort" of attitude which u don't have. So you try hard to win his/her heart by employing that fake "sort" of you online. (You liar b*tch!)

f) "dunno leh.. I feel like Im confident but I tend to be different off and on oh.." (Yo dude, you might have multiple personality disorder ah! Go c the doc! LOL)

Remember this?

I dunno what you ppl think of this but How many of you dare to say with honesty "Im the same person offline as well as online!"? Hahahaha

"Say till so much, so u confirm Offline=Online? meh?"

I've to admit, Im one of "Offline!=Online" person. Yep, Im not a very confident person. *points to shyness... Anyways, I believe Ive improved a lot lah!

Moving on....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personality-wise you'd only have those 2 options. What about attitudes? Different story lah. Have a look at the different attitudes of ppl who Ive come across throughout my MSN life span:

1. "Too much to talk ah" group


Whoa.. These ones are the ones to be avoided at all costs. They'll be the first one to beep you the second you pop up online. Not once ah.. It occurs at a rate of 4 out of 5 times everytime you go online! Walao! Folks, the 'Block' button was invented for a reason. Use it! LOL

2. "Too cool" group

Ahh.. I personally call this the "kek dao" group! You get the 4:1 ratio of lines replied. '4' is from me, '1' is from em. What the heck! Not only that, their one-reply reply might even be only one letter-word!,i.e. "k".

I'd prefer "Oh ok, see ya later aight! =)". Not in the mood ah? This one lor.. "Ohh ok, aish Im not in the mood to chat at the moment. Sorry yah.. See you"

Not only that, some times their "k" reply only applies to the last 2 lines from you. They so cool/busy till they missed out reading ur first 2 lines ah! Walao... Then haf to bug em again, "Eh, bla bla bla". Reply from em "Bah". @#*@@#*@*#!!!!!!

LOL.. chatting with this bunch tends to give me the feeling that Im one from the "Too much to talk" group. Kek dao!

Too busy meh? Go offline lar.. Else put on the "Busy" status lar. Eh no.. "Busy" status is way overused these days.. Eh, you can try "Ahh sorry, Im busy at the moment, I'll get to you in a while" *It takes only a few seconds to enter that line lah, mate.

Note: I feel this especially apply to guys. Maybe they think Im gay? NOOO!!

3. "Hahaha" group

Mostly after every line, a "hahaha" or other alternative forms of laugh comes up.. LOL.. Until you lose track of their real feelings. They sad? Eh not, maybe happy?

4. Emoticon-freaks group
LOL.. They fill ur chat window with so much emoticons! What's wrong with that? It gets irritating after a while plus I've encountered countless instances where I don't know what the emoticon is trying to say!

5. Emo group

Ahh.. How to spot? Their quotes loh.. Some makes me shudder LOL.. Their quotes tend to project a certain strong emotion.. Always same emotion summore. Today "Ill be waiting for you till my last very last heartbeat" .. Tomorrow "Ill chase till you open your heart to me"... Tomorrrow similar too.. All the tomorrows same too.. ahahaha Gali lah! .. Dun u get happy?

6. "Oi look at me" group

LOL.. Their quotes states what they are doing. Normal mah.. BUT they change it so damn often until you can't help but say "Walao.. vain la this person! Go open up a damn blog la.. you can blab more abt ur details in it, then put ur blog link address there"

7. "Follo Law" group


Of course, best group! When they're status is "busy", it means they seriously busy. Initiate a chat, a reply returns on time if their status is "online" They come up with the decent amount of replies needed. They have a proper sense of humour by using a safe amt of "haha"s and emoticons. Their quotes don't make u go "uggh".. Hahaha.. good good! Long live em!

Did I miss out on any groups mah?

"Walao u suck Bern! MSN also you find so much problems!"

LOL.. Its all personal opinion ok? No significant person has assured that the above said is right or wrong.. Just an exercise for my brain - a pure opinion piece LOL! No hard feelings aight!

Have a great day ppl! =)

How to Holiday?

Help! I can barely breathe. I just downed two approx. 10-cm-in-diameter murtabak/roti prata. Wonderful decision eh. What a time now to do that. Plus you can feel the burning going on in ur stomach due to the curry.

Late night cravings for food is nothing special to me. Might maybe be a surprise thou' to some due to my lean frame. Ask my close bunch, they'll tell you otherwise.

Anyways ..

As of today, i.e. 5th of July, it means less than a month to the start of the new sem!

OH NO!

Orientation week starts maybe a week before that, which further means roughly 3 weeks left if I happen to do volunteering for the week.

SUI ah!

May God bless my remaining 3 weeks with fulfilling, productive activities & proper brain+spirit rejuvenation that'll make me go "Bring it new sem!"

Suddenly I wondered...

Why fulfilling activities? What if not fulfilling leh?
Will the holiday experience affect/influence a person's motivation for the new sem?
If yes, what will be those activities?
If no, why?

After a short while, from the questions above, I decided to come out with the conclusion below:

"Less fulfilling hols activities give less-great motivation
Fulfilling hols activites give great motivation"

And tried to prove it as shown below.

For LESS FULFILLING activities:


Try doing nothing, or the same thing over&over again during the holidays.

Scenario 1:
Most likely ur brain will start to send the "Walao so sien eh.. ". It might do it consecutively for days n days until the "Arrgh! I've had enough!" signal appears. By then, Im sure you'd be looking forward to classes! True leh?

<-- Great motivation -->

But then..

Scenario 2:
On the other hand, sometimes the "walao so sien eh.." signal might lead to somewhere else. I feel they might also lead to depression. Who knows, they might feel sad they didnt have their proper holidays. They start the fresh new sem with lousy moods which in turn produce down spirits, thus leads to no motivation to study. No motivation = Lack of attention in class, skipping class, along with the "I dun give a sh*t" attitude.

<-- No motivation -->

Bern's statement is going down the hill!

Ok lor, how bout garnishing your hols with FULFILLING activities then.


You go off to a nice nice place for vacation. Take lots of nice pics. You meet great people, you had great food and visited/going to visit wonderful places. You just love the place so much!

Scenario 1:
You wish that your vacation can extend for a lil bit more longer.. "I dun wanna come back eh!" But then reality sets in, ur ticket's already book.. You gotta leave. Arrive back home, but still in la-la mood.. Who wants to listen to boring lectures during that mood oh?

<-- No motivation -->

Aish..

"Rubbish lah, then all the ticketing agencies + tour agencies boleh tutup lah.. How can true??"

Wait bah.. Read on first!

On the other hand,

Scenario 2:
The trip experience might give you such joy and fulfillment that make you go "Yesh! A wonderful trip! A wonderful holiday indeed!". The accomplishment of a great holiday, gives you the positivity and bright spirit. "Life's great!" spirit. Everything's great! "Ahh.. I cant wait for what is in store for me during the new sem!!! Start faster , faster start Ah!"

<-- Great motivation -->

Conclusion: Prove tak betul lah.. Statement ku tak 100% valid!

Anyways, all these are just a thought.. a random opinion. They'll be tons of possibilities lah.. Endless scenarios of hols and the effect it'll have on the new sem. Maybe they'll be no effect at all! You think too much Bern

"Cut the sh*t!"

Ehh wait, who doesn't like holidays oh, dumb ass? Holidays anang/andang beneficial one!
Ehh ehh wait wait! remember the "I felt bored after the 3rd day of hols" statement you made bo? Hahaha..

Anyways, this post is being done around 3am, thus there might be some missing links here n there. It might be a whole load of crap. Dun bash me too hard yah.. =)

Why not some input people.. Tell me what you think.. I hope there'll be a proper conclusion to this post. LOL
