Why you should read One Piece.
You know that there's something wrong with your language when you forget the sexistence of the word 'convenient'.
Being a chauvinistic pig and all, whenever I date girls out, I'd want the girl to have to travel less, because I deem laziness to be their prerogative. Leave the long-distance travelling to the men, that's what I think. So if I were to date someone living in, uh, Bishan, I'd travel from Sengkang to J8 or something.
The process of asking a girl out is tedious. I sometimes wonder why I do that, too. But yanyway, for me, being a man and all, I'd want to make sure that she feels least inconvenienced and stuff like that, so that maybe she'd want to go out with me again, seeing as it's easy to go out with me, provided that my eloquence and humour and sexiness and manliness can exude from me. If I were nervous, those things just can't permeate through my pores, and I end up sexploding all over myself when I get home or something.
Then the girl would think that I'm some effing boring person who isn't much to go out with and thus wouldn't want to go out with me anymore. First impression plays a big part here I guess.
Anyway, I'm not blogging about how much of a bloody flirt I am, but on how I lost my ability to sexpress myself. I effing forgot the word 'convenient'. I substituted it with 'better'. Read the 2 sentences below then compare and contrast:
1) Let's meet somewhere more convenient for you.
2) Let's meet somewhere better for you.
The difference is obvious. How'm I supposed to live with the guilt of constructing such a screwed up sentence? Urgh.
I guess I can't be blamed, seeing as I haven't been facing people outside my family for a long time. I hardly get out of my house, even. I just spend my time in front of the computer, killing spiders on Runescape, reading One Piece(the first 500 or so chapters because I watched the anime instead for those chapters), playing Samurai Sam on miniclip.com, though it resembles more of a ninja.
Oh not to mention the fact that I sleep at 5AM and wake up at 2PM. I guess being nocturnal is detrimental to the ability to sexpress oneself, too. Oh, the horror.
I find some people very weird. They never dare to try new things out, no matter how strongly you recommend them the stuff you want them to try out. Why don't they dare to try?
Let's talk about One Piece. Kaisheng got me to try watching One Piece. I ended up wasting an entire month just before Prelim2 watching 340+ episodes of One Piece. I'm going to take this chance, while Kaisheng is not in Singapore, to backstab him. I HATE YOU! If I, uh, don't do well for my O's(which is most probable), it's your fault!
Watching/reading One Piece has become a major undertaking in my life. Normally, I'd stop all my MSN conversations and ask people around me to 'SHHHH' when I'm reading One Piece. I don't exactly know why One Piece attracts me so much, but why bother knowing what hit me?
There's something rather weird though. Although it's action-packed and stuff, rather much like Bleach, it has more impact on me. I feel more inspired to keep promises and stuff. I can't help but fall in love with every character of the Strawhat crew. Especially with the navigator, hehe. Not Usopp though. Hate his face.
Reading manga alone can already make my nose sour. Some direct translation needed here, but otherwise, s'ok even if you catch no ball.
What attribute do you look for when you're finding a friend? I remember some English oral practise we had with Mrs. Yap many months back, and one of the topics was something along the lines of 'Does true friendship exist?'
One factor to answer in this question would be 'what do you look for in a friend?'
I don't know what girls look for in their friends, but I answered something along the lines of 'Someone who is willing to be my scapegoat.'
And Mr. Heng, who walked past, inquired about what the topic was(not that he was interested in what I responded to, but that he's interested in who he was responding to, if you get my drift). So after knowing the question, he said something like 'Ah males look for honour in their friends'. Or something along those lines.
Someone who is willing to lay down his life for his friend, that's a real man and a real friend.
And there are many people like that in One Piece. True, it's just a manga, such people aren't easily available in real life, but you compare One Piece to other fiction books and you'd get my point that One Piece is superior.
Another thing about One Piece is its humour.
There's more, but to point out every bit of humour would be too taxing.
Geez, why'm I even advertising? I don't normally spread my love for anything around, yo. Am I like, preaching? Never mind.
This post rather random. I need to go out more. Runescape 24/7 is fatal. I'm no longer typing coherently.
I'm not envious of people who get to go overseas, because I love Singapore. And I hate moving, though I need to. And my hair is covering my ear and I hate that.
Gah. Save money, don't cut hair.
