Behind Punday Monday

So this guy, his wife and their child walks into Rotund Rings, your generic donut shop.

Each of them wanted one doughnut each. So the wife and the kid sat at the table and waits, while the guy walks up to the counter and orders a Tri-Box Set, containing three donuts, which is a perfect size. The counter clerk informs him: "I'm sorry, sir, we no longer have the Tri-Box Set as it wasn't really popular. Now,  Donuts come in boxes of one, a Duo Donut set, a Quatro Donut set, a half-dozen or a dozen."

The man shrugs, and just orders three donuts. And then decides to go to the toilet, leaving the wife to pick up the donuts. Soon, the clerk beckons to the wife to pickup the donuts.

The wife arrives at the counter to realise that the box that the clerk brought out was only big enough for two donuts.

"I thought we ordered the Tri-Box set?!"

The clerk came around carrying the third donut in a bag, and said to the angry wife:

"Duo donuts. There is no Tri."

....

I'll see myself out. Cya,

Behind some shit I've promised 3 months ago

With friends like mine, I should really learn to keep my big mouth shut.

So, I will attempt to answer the above questions with enough honest sass as possible.

Benefits of the third reich.
Everyone is now united in hate towards a common enemy, and world peace (or something resembling it) has been achieved. At least, until someone manages to become the President of the United States...

The joys of anal sex
Essentially doubling the number of sex position, hence doubling the size of the porn industry. Can't say the same about fun in the bedroom tho... Does prevent accidents, but there are risks of... accidents. Smelly kinds. Well, not as if the other kind ain't smelly eventually.

I was eating a plate of siew yuk and got an erection. Why?
Well, I guess it's because you've been watching too much porn, and too much foodporn. And soon enough, one type of meat starts to look like another; starts to smell like one another; starts to taste like one another. Like, mate, I know you like that salty sauce, but I think it's time for you to go vegetarian.

Or maybe you just enjoy necrophilia, who am I to judge.

Why is strawberry milk the best milk flavour of all?
Because it goes so well with siew yuk. Or whatever meat you consume.

Which pokemon is the most attractive and why?
Magneton. Nuff said.

I don't like dishonouring promises, so here you go. Have fun. Cya!

Behind Animal Cruelty Part 1

Based on what I have observed throughout my life in Malaysia and UK, animals that humans spend a lot of time with can be broadly separated into two categories:

• Animals that humans keep as pets (friend)
• Animals that people raise for their produce (food)

And as far as our feelings go, it's pretty clear cut. We care about our pets when they are next to us, and we care about the latter group of animals when they are in front of them. On a plate.

It is the animals that do not belong to any of the above groups, however, that intrigues us humans the most. It's the kind we only find roaming the jungles, savannas or tundras of the world, or, more commonly, the zoos of our cities. It's the animals very few have tried to eat, and fewer have tried to befriend. It's the animals of the wild, that some people do keep as exotic pets that can at any moment turn on the owner. It's the gorillas, the crocodiles and the ostriches of this world.

Now I'm mentioning these three animals in particular, as I am sure most of you would know why.They have been in the news recently for doing things they are "not supposed to". First two animals rose into infamy recently for bringing harm to kids.In Cincinnati, a gorilla was shot because a kid fell into an enclosure, and was thereafter rescued. In Florida, 5 crocodiles were killed because a kid waded into a lake and seemed tasty. Each time, the parents were at the scene, and tore their eyes off their kids. So, who's at fault for killing those animals?

I'm not going to write about racism issues or how much media attention they are getting, because the whole point of this article is that it is clear how we value lives of humans against lives of endangered animals. One human life demands 5 innocents. Which on a supply-demand curve does not make sense, since there's so many of us and so few of them.

But humans are illogical when it comes to humans.

Like, imagine a hunter killed a deer and took it home as trophy, right? And a herd of big antler-ed deer ran into the nearby village to find it, right? And in the process gored and trampled a whole family. Clearly their deaths are justified.

Whoops, rambling again.

So, the moral of the story is humans > animals, regardless if they are friends, food or neither.
The thing about the neither category is we don't know what to do with them.

Do we leave them be? But we need the land!

But why?

Do we kill them all? But we need to preserve their existence!

But why?

Do we stick them in zoos? But we will feel bad for robbing their freedom!

But why?

In the end, it's always about us selfish humans. Who really cares about animals nowadays eh?

Cya, fellow dominant species.

Ostriches should run in within the next week.

Behind Living Once

Alright, to continue the thought I left off previously.

People only live once in their lives. Sadly, a third of them is spent sleeping, and a further third is spent working to make money to try and continue to live. So it is quite logical to try to make the most of that final third of your life.

Right now, I AM in that third. So, I should really be going out and enjoying what life, and London in particular, have to offer. The thing is I really have not been doing so. People have been going on trips every break, and seeing all the musical and plays; I just stay home and play video games. I have some regrets.

Often I use the lack of money as an excuse. Which of course is a perfectly legitimate excuse. However, there comes a point in one's life where one realises that one is running out of time, but not of money. I know, I simply KNOW that I will regret it if I don't do something crazy before I graduate, nay, before third summer is over (since we only have one month of summer the following year). Usually this would involve a lot of memories, travelling time, and money, as well as pictures and happiness. It's a balance of fun and liabilities.

So I think I've decided to go wayyy overboard this summer. Japan. USA. Penang. Basically not really spending too much time at home. But I like it. It's now or never.

*   *   *   *   *

Which is why it is a shame to hear news about people who die too soon. 

It comes as a shock to people hearing about the death of Christina Grimmie, a contestatnt of The Voice who was shot last week, and died at the young age of 22. The motive was unclear, but it was clearly planned out in advance, not through a mad dash of insanity.

Her death echoes that of John Lennon, who was murdered in a slightly similar fashion in December 8, 1980. Fans worldwide were devastated, and there was a huge hubbub. And then there will still be a whisper in the future, but still never forgotten. The memory of a death is measured by the lives touched before. (I quoteth.)

Her death and senseless murder is especially saddening because she was at the rise of her career, and in an alternate universe where she was alive, who knows what she would've done. Inspired the next Idina Menzel? Led charity works around the world? Or descend into Done-Disney Despair? No one will know now. It's a waste of potential, and one that doesn't seem justified however you cut it. She hasn't done anything wrong.

Two days later and you hear of another SERIES of sensless deaths. A shootout at a gay bar in Orlando, killing at least 50 people. This time the person responsible was allegedly part of the Islamic state, with the motives suspected to be either death to sinners or death to Americans. That was a shame, and all my prayers be with them. But for me, the saddest part is that there is a news report stating that some Malaysians actually condone the death of sinners and deviators of nature. To me, I don't actually care what you think. As long as you don't butt your nose into other people's lives, or worse, snuff it out, then I will respect your opinion. I expect a two-way relationship in this matter.

Sadly, I know that is not how life works, and I have to accept that life is unfair. But a guy has to have principals.

*     *     *     *     *

That got morbid.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that death does not give a shit about what you've done or what you think about other people (and vice versa) and what you've achieved in life. When it comes, it comes.

You literally only live once.

It's two extremes we have, putting yourself in danger because everyone dies anyway, or the scenario described above. 

Whereas I will continue doing the things I want to do, because in the end, we only have one life to experience the world. I'm somewhere in the middle, like Malcolm.

Life is unfair.

Anyway, that's my late night ramblings. Thanks everyone, and remember to say I love you to those you care about.

Cya.

Behind Mile High Thoughts

I keep reviving my dead blog like this, I’m not sure why.\

But it has been an interesting year indeed. Now that summer holidays have begun, I would like to use this ridiculous time I have now on the plane to collect my thoughts and write something about it.

Summary one, medicine is a people’s profession. Like seriously, if you don’t like people, please find a more number orientated job. Hopefully a job that doesn’t require you to have connections to climb the ladder. Which is basically…. Nothing. So basically you really need to know people. This is why co-curricular activities are important kids. You get to meet friends who might one day be your law partner. Or maybe even your soul mate. Who knows. So stay in school kids.

But I’m rambling again. Where was I? Medicine. Right.

So in medicine, you talk to patients every day, you talk to doctors every day, you talk depend on nurses every day. So people skills are important. Communication skills are important. Not offending people is also an important skill to have. Therefore, one might need to learn on the job about different expectations of people. To be honest it’s really like real life. Like have you seen those aunties bargaining for fruit at a Saturday morning fruit market? Now THAT’S communication skills.

In essence, be nice to people, and people will be nice to you, but don’t be afraid to assert.

Summary two, big things are afoot.

In the UK, the biggest news would probably be the upcoming Brexit referendum coming up (short for British Exit). In case you are not clear what is that about, this is basically some people want UK out of the EU, some people want to remain there. They will, of course, still continue to use the sterling pound either way, but this would have a great impact about the future of the UK. On one hand, staying in the EU would probably mean better trade relations and easy migrations between UK and other EU countries. On the other hand, leaving would avoid the potential economical harm brought about by the refuge crisis from Syria (balance of ethics and feasibility) and the troubles brought about by easy migrations between UK and other EU countries. This kinda puts the NHS new junior contract business on the sidelines for the time being, but nevertheless that contract will inevitably be the) and the troubles brought about by easy migrations between UK and other EU countries. This kinda puts the NHS new junior contract business on the sidelines for the time being, but nevertheless that contract will inevitably influence the future of the NHS, in terms of the future ethnical composition of the doctors and patients, as well as resources available.

Also, it would seem more and more likely that the USA would be electing either her first female president or first orange president. Ones rather flip-floppity, the other’s super extravagant; both aren’t exactly the most popular of candidates, at least from who I know in the UK and the Internetz, which we all know is an accurate representation of real life.

But my personal thoughts? Nothing much would probably change in my day-to-day life regardless. People still have jobs to do and food to eat, and most don’t want any sudden change in the status quo. I will still be a student, and eventually be a doctor. The tube will still run on time, the KTM will still be late, and the Earth will still be warming up.

But then again I am an extremely short-sighted person who doesn’t really care for big decisions not obviously affecting his short- to middle-term future. This viewpoint will offend someone eventually, esp those seeking change close to home, thus contradicting summary one. I still won’t care, but I should. I really should.

Summary three, live life.

People who entered university at the same time as me are graduating already. Like, wow. 

I think I'll write up on that tomorrow. I have time after all.

Cya tmr.
