Introduction & More
@ 18:28
Since this is my first post, I should give a little introduction about myself and my life right now so you can get a better idea about me.
The first thing you would probably want to know is about my URL. Why EgoisticJournal? As simple as you can think of, it is just because I see myself as a very egoistic person (but maybe not, to others). The main reasons are probably:
1. Self-centered. Most things I decide to do are to benefit myself and I exclude my participation when I see no benefits.
2. I love myself. Yes, I have flaws but I embrace them as much as I can and it doesn't really matter to me whether people accepts my ideals or not, as long as I myself do.
3. Enjoys compliments. I mean, who doesn't, right? I doubt anybody would want to be disparaged.
Moving on...,
as I have mentioned in my "Profile" page at the side, I am currently majoring in Mathematical Science in which is because it is my best subject (maybe out of 9 other subjects which I've come across in my entire life) and it's also my interest. I'm now in my second year and somewhat struggling to keep up with school work (please don't learn from me). I blame this on my childish idea that Maths is all about numbers, and probably 2 alphabets, x and y. But I am terribly wrong, because now, Maths is nothing about numbers and everything about alphabets, from a to z. At this point of time, my Graphic Calculator is not of any help anymore. I have long known that college is a place that emphasise on self-discipline. During my first year of study, I thought to myself, "hey, college is not that difficult after all. Just a little consistency and 2 weeks worth of studying before exams can give me a pass.". But now, it's a different story. Maybe because my modules are getting difficult, maybe because I am getting even lazier or maybe because all along my thought is wrong. Getting a pass is not so simple anymore as I have learnt in my previous few midterm exams. Only after, that I realised I needed to put in so much more extra effort to make up for what I've lost. And because of that, I have many sleepless nights and my body clock is totally screwed up (much more than any of you), because I sleep in the morning and I study in the middle of the night.
All these requires my all-time favourite,
Coffee.
Every night, this happens.
I'm guessing thats enough information about Maths and depression. Maybe I should tell you more about my part-time cheerleading experience.
This may be what you think cheerleading is but no. I don't carry pom poms and wear long skirts and stand in front of some field and wave around with my pom poms.
But this is really what I actually do. If you are interested to see even more, you can take a look at the video below.
Okay, maybe not this extreme (this is really high level), but something simpler and easier but similar.
So, I took up this sports because it is available in all halls and I've always wanted to try it. Since my hall offers such an opportunity, why not?
I've been cheering for 1.5 years, still not very good but I guess passable. Different people have different views on cheerleading, some thinks that its a dangerous sports and not worth the effort and time, well, I agree that it is dangerous, but cheerleading is a kind of sports that satisfy you with a sense of achievement, and that can only be reached if you put in that enough effort and time. Needless to say, to me, this sort of "sense of achievement" is something really addictive. Through cheerleading, people learn to trust, and I mean putting your life in the hands of your base, trusting that he will not let you fall to the ground and kill you.
All in all, I just want to say,
I LOVE CHEERLEADING.
Putting aside studies and cheering, I do have my own hobbies and interests.
I am very into watching Animes, thats Japanese Animated Production. Yes, I know many of you will think that Animes are for guys (ohwells..), but actually a bunch of girls, maybe just a little less than guys are actually like me. (Probably just that they don't say it) I watch all sorts of Animes, almost any genre. I think I am quite selective, but I can't really put into words the kind of criteria I look for when I choose what to watch and what not to watch. My favourite one is of course, Detective Conan.
I think many of you might have heard of this because it's a pretty old Anime. Actually it's first episode was produced in 1996 (pretty old uh..). There was a recent movie on this as well. You can check out Wikipedia if you want to know more. Below are some facts about Detective Conan:
1. It is still ongoing.
2. It has 756 episodes up till date.
3. Produced 18 movies.
So for me, I've basically finished around 750 episodes and 14 movies (yes, I think I am crazy). Just so you know, 1 episode is 24 minutes and 1 move is 90minutes. I don't really want to know how much time I've spent on Detective Conan instead of studying.
Anyway, for a good indication of the rest of the Animes I watch,
I know almost all the characters here, and honestly this is just a collage I grabbed off Google. So maybe (just maybe), I should have watched over a 100 different Animes. By the way, I don't watch these 24 hours okay, just in case you think I'm some introvert with the thought that Anime is my world. NO. I having been watching for more than 7 years so all these are accumulative!
Another thing that might shock you is that my favourite computer game is MapleStory.
I am pretty sure about 90% of you know whats MapleStory. But basically, it's a 2-Dimensional Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game(MMORPG). And the reason why it's my favourite? Because it's 2-DIMENSIONAL. I don't always play but when I have time, I would log in and explore the new stuffs (since MapleStory is always patching and updating). Just letting you know, I've played this game for like maybe 10 years.
So after all this information, I hope you don't judge me. But then again, even if you do, I don't really care either because like I said at the very start, I love myself.
