Just got back from home for chinese new year holiday. It was REALLY SUPER fun! my elder sis, Ida and her husband came home too, so we had a full house! its really fun. its all about family, family, family. nothing special though, we didn't visit our chinese relatives in Bintangor due to road problem from Mukah to Sibu. Nevertheless, we had went visiting some of my parents' chinese friends, and I've gotten some ang-pow too! ^^ and the food was awesome, and oranges too! lots and lots of yummy oranges!
other than that, I practically just stayed at home, watching TV, playing video games and EAT! my diet plan was totally busted! somehow I just don't care much. I wouldn't wanna kill the festive mood! ^^

C*rses!
this weekend, I've been watching Hell's Kitchen Season 6. I love all the drama of a reality tv show, however, my ears nearly dropped off from all the cursing, and swearing, and bitching!
well, I'm no saint, but seriously, I did get OD-ed on curse words while watching this show. Everyone curses, chef Gordon Ramsay cursed, the other chefs cursed. and now its messing with my head, now I have the tendency to say the F word (just in my mind, though) when something's not right, I really hope it won't escape my mouth. I'd really hate to turn to people who curse in every sentence they're saying.
Why do people curse, anyway? there are a lot of curse words, in almost every language, even Harry Potter's magical world has them (e.g.: mudblood!).
I think cursing is one of the people's expression towards anger, annoyance or frustration. People express anger in loads of way, verbal, words, facial expression, even strange acts (as in passive anger). and by cursing, you're showing that you're upset, plus bringing down the person/object/event that's responsible for creating the anger. thus, its like letting some air out of an exploding balloon, it kinda will make you feel a bit relieved.
However, use inappropriately (like cursing at every tiny little mistakes or just with no reason at all), it kinda showed that you're an idiot, with no social ettiquette or low IQ or EQ level. because curse words are "bad words" or taboos which are not generally accepted by our cultures, and its rude and it could hurt people's feelings and it could lead to fights and all the negative things. Its also not professional, unless you're like no. 1 in the world (kinda like Gordon Ramsay). I'm not saying that all high and mighty people should curse people beneath them. its just, they could, but they shouldn't.
and ego could only come with intelligence. ego + stupidity = FATAL combination.

smells like....*sniff*...VICTORY!
Last weekend was full with sport-y activities.
Saturday - had to join volley ball team because the team was short of players. we didn't win, but it was kinda fun. I found out that I was kinda good with the serves (for a beginner of course! :P)
Sunday - netball match! our team was my housemates - amy, mel, alia, azie, jijah, ida n we imported one player - su. it was SO much fun, some of our teammates never played netball before and just had one day for practice, but they've performed SO well. I'm so proud of them! So yeah, its SOOO exhilarating that we've won.
though, no pay, no gain, as the saying goes! due to being dormant for sooo long, and suddenly being blasted by 2 days of "intense" sports, we're suffering from muscle aches and injuries. but its really worth it. WE WON!
and, I also noticed that competitive spirits can be mean too. like, when players started turning aggressive, anger flared and even some of the supporters got rowdy. like, seriously, how amateur! its sports with people contact, of course you'd get pushed and your toes stepped on. no need to get all angry and bitchy. if you don't like to be touched, you could just stay home and play monopoly or whatever.
oh well, I don't really care because we've WON! *people must've hated us!* haha~
