    Emo...

    3 Typhoons in a row...

    Non-stop raining

    The air is sticky

    People look sad

    Can't sleep...

    Want to sleep

    Nothing feels right

    My limbs are numb

    Can't get my head straight

    Cigarettes aren't relaxing anymore

    Things are moving, but lifeless

    I can only hear noise

    My mind is a mess

    Gotta focus on something

    Don't wanna let this get to me

    I hope today ends soon

    Just wanna hop into my bed and forget everything

    Feel like shit today...

  • Deep Sea Fish

     Deep Sea Fish Oil? Try these!

    Yo I was doing some research on omega-3 oil, usually health food products containing high level of mega-3 fatty acids are from "Deep Sea" fishes or sharks. Googled it and BAM! there you go, here are some real gangsta deep sea creatures!


    Gulper Eel...I want my eel bento, NOW!!!


    I don't know the name, LONGASS fish I guess?


    Now that is one big ass squid!


    This is the WTF fish.


    I-will-eat-you-alive fish


    Ocean Sun Fish



    Crabs anyone? I think this one is called Giant Isopod. Reminds me of a real life Crypt Lord from Warcraft.


    Guess which fish meat this dish is made of? YUM YUM!

    There are tons more and some look scarier than monsters from movies...it's quite fascinating though.

    Till later.

  • MOTHER-FUCK-A TIME CAPSULE.

    I think I'll answer my time-capsule question right now:

    "  How are you and your co-workers now? Are you still tired of their bitchdom? Do you still want to pencil stab someone? Tell me how you've handled problem no. 1."

    WELL! TOUGH SHIT JACKY CHENG!

    I give up.

    I'm sick of this shit, I mean I don't wanna stab her with a pencil anymore, I just don't want any form of contact with this woman... like, if there is a unit of mass to measure her level of bitchiness, she would be a giant black hole. If I fucking hover over her horizon I'd get sucked in and then spaghettified by her bitchiness. 

    No it's not that serious, but seriously, she's pissing me off at such consistent rate that is even more irritating than 5 babies crying + 3 cellphones ringing in a movie theater.

    So what the fuck did she do? To be totally precise: BEING HERSELF.

    It's like what the fuck? Stop saying "Well, that's what you think."

    NO FUCKING SHIT RIGHT? thanks for telling me I am thinking what I am thinking. AND THEN? Conversation over? Then why the fuck did I tell you what I am thinking what I am thinking?

    Pisses me off man, and then the small talks. FUCK secretive small talks, bunch of women gather up in their office whispering each other trivial shit, then act all secretive, I'd walk in the office and ask them what the fuck is going on, and they'd tell me "Oh nothing! Heehee."

    SHUT THE FUCK UP, and STOP GIGGLING.

    STOP GRABBING ATTENTIONS BY DOING THESE STUPID LITTLE TALKS IN THE OFFICE.

    It's like working with children. They really think doing this will receive the attention they desired. This girl man...omg, she loooooooooooooooves to create fake little shitty secrets so they all can discuss in discretion, this is fucking retarded.

    Worst yet, if there actually IS a problem, she'd make it seem like a fucking 9.2 earthquake or some shit, CALM. THE. FUCK. DOWN! nobody is is gonna die, my god.

    And then the wannabe-wittiness. STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE SMART, nobody fucking cares, if you're so smart you'd leave and started your own business of selling fake secrets and stupid jokes. The fuck is wrong people.

    OH yeah, so one day, I was eating my beef noodle, minding my own business. I was having a hard time trying to untie the plastic bag, this woman STILL needed to make a statement:

    "Well! It's Jacky's fault that he doesn't know how to untie the plastic bag, it's not the plastic bag's fault."

    WHAT THE FUCK GIRL!? WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO TO YOU? Does that boost your self-esteem? I don't fucking get it.

    Sigh... I don't think I can handle this problem Jacky, I'm smaller than this problem, the only way to solve this problem in my opinion, is to stab her neck with a pencil.

    I fucking hate work now.

  • Your Ability = Your Income

    Your Ability = Your Income

    I was talking to some friends about money and it reminded me of this article that I liked, thought I'd share it.

    It kinda goes like this:

    How do you own lots of money?

    It's actually simple, there are 2 types of people with money, savers and earners. Savers are those who save money to have money; earners make money to have money.

    We'll focus on how earners earn.

    So how do you make lots of money  if you are an earner?

    The very first criteria that determines how much money you earn is your ability to provide or create needs, wants, or conveniences to other people. For example, if you are the only barber in town, chances are you'll get paid cutting other people's hair because they don't know how.

    The greater the ability you can provide these satisfactions to consumers, the more money you will earn.

    In addition, the higher quality service/products you can supply, the higher the income you will earn.

    The second criteria that determines your income is the volume you can provide. For example, if you are a barber, your income will be based on the amount of customers you serve, which can be limited, therefore limited income. But if you are able to own a barber shop with 5 of your barbers working for you, ideally you can serve 5 times more customers, therefore 5 times more income.

    And both of these criteria are based on your ability, so in short, your income level reflects your ability.

    If you are a capable person, you will earn more money by providing more quality products/services, or by providing more volume, or the combination of the two.

    If your performance within a company is mediocre, you will get a mediocre salary, if not fired. Why? because what you can produce is not worth the pay.

    Some people argue that one can get higher salaries by kissing asses, be down with the gangs. It's true, but it is also his/her ability to provide needs and wants to those who can get him/her a raise.

    Lotto winners don't earn money, unless you think being lucky is actually an ability. And if it is outside of their ability to maintain the $100 million jackpot, they will eventually lose the money and return to what their ability permits them to earn.

    So if you agree with what this guy says, the next question arises...

    How do you obtain more abilities?

    I think:

    1. books that guide you
    2. schools that teach you
    3. experiences that train you
    4. intelligence to recognize mistakes
    5. courage to face challenges
    6. will to become stronger
    7. a heart that never gives up

    ...maybe more?

    Till later, peace!

  • Grow bigger than your problems!

    Grow bigger than your problems! - T. Harv Eker

    I like this quote, and it encourages me to confront many difficult situations.

    Don't be smaller than your problem, the only reason why it is a problem to you is because your ability is smaller than the situation, so try your best to become bigger than the problem.

    Most of us try to avoid problems, in fact we don't want ANY problems, the irony is that problems will never go away, the size of the problem is NEVER the problem; the real problem is the size of YOU. (and your Dick Chang, as Ray likes to refer it as. haha j/k.)

    My problems:

    1. Having a difficult time communicating with coworkers.

    Solution: Talk, make sense, listen listen listen, digest, talk, agree and follow up.

    2. Becoming round.

    Solution: Hit the gym, more fruits less meat and beer.

    3. Project is probably going to turn out late and past due.

    Solution: Instead of writing Xanga you should be working yo ass off.


    Let's see if I solved all these problems in 2 months. Here is a time-capsule letter for November Jacky:

    Hi Jacky from 2 months later,

    How'd your birthday go? Did you get drunk with a bunch of fine looking ladies and talk stupid? I hope you did, at least I'd be proud of you for the fact that you actually did get drunk with nice looking ladies.

    Anyways, how are you and your co-workers now? Are you still tired of their bitchdom? Do you still want to pencil stab someone? Tell me how you've handled problem no. 1.

    And did you hit the gym at least 2-3 times a week? Did you eat and exercise right? How's your belly treating you?

    And how did the project go? I hope things went smoothly...

    Finally, if you didn't keep up with the solutions, I should slap you silly, but since I can't time-slap you, you know what to do.

    On the other hand though, if you did solve these problems, have a round of applause for yourself and do something wild, wild enough to have more problems for you to solve.

    I hope life is treating you well buddy, and I hope you're a bigger man now.

    Toodles,

    Jacky (back in September)

  • Attention Whore

    It happened.

    Again.

    Here is a summarized conversation for today's meeting:

    Topic: New website, what functions do we need?

    Me: For the online shopping cart, I think we need a subscription system.

    AW(for Attention Whore): You can't do that, it's illegal in Taiwan. (Shitty grin)

    Me: Oh really? I thought it's legal, I mean in America it is...

    AW: Yeah but we will be doing this in Taiwan, won't we?

    Me: And eventually internationally.

    AW: Well, I think it's illegal in Taiwan, and...this company is in...Taiwan....?

    Me: Why is it illegal, don't people have subscriptions of magazines that charges monthly or yearly?

    AW: Because it forces customers to buy, and we're not selling magazines, and it's unethical.

    Me: I think a subscription is optional to customers, and those who decide to do it will sign a contract anyway.

    AW: Why would you stick with this if it's illegal?

    Me: Well, I think this function is necessary for our online store, and we don't know if it's illegal for sure.

    AW: Um, you should be careful with these stuff, we don't want law suits or anything.

    Me: Well, (why don't you shut your mouth, call somebody and find out about it, then let us know whether it's legal or not before I stab a pencil in your throat?) ...we'll find out.

    Conclusion: We don't know if internet subscription is legal or not, and I decided to pencil stab somebody, again.

    Douma.

    I hate this shit, everytime I try to have a productive discussion, it turns into a battlefield full of attention whores trying to show that they're witty, and then the meeting turns into a mini festival that consists with pointless exchange of words.

    "ooooooHHH! I think it's illegal!"

    And then?

    LOL back to work...

  • VERITAS

    "Truth is said to consist in the agreement of knowledge with the object. According to this mere verbal definition, then, my knowledge, in order to be true, must agree with the object. Now, I can only compare the object with my knowledge by this means, namely, by taking knowledge of it. My knowledge, then, is to be verified by itself, which is far from being sufficient for truth. For as the object is external to me, and the knowledge is in me, I can only judge whether my knowledge of the object agrees with my knowledge of the object. Such a circle in explanation was called by the ancients Diallelos. And the logicians were accused of this fallacy by the sceptics, who remarked that this account of truth was as if a man before a judicial tribunal should make a statement, and appeal in support of it to a witness whom no one knows, but who defends his own credibility by saying that the man who had called him as a witness is an honorable man."

    - Immanuel Kant

    Hm...

    Maybe that's the way it really is...

    Everything I touch, I see, I feel and I think, are merely just interactions of electrodes in my nerve cells that my brain generated. This is Matrix shit, for we all are living a lie, where my opinion will forever stay mine and yours will forever stay yours; my blue is always different from yours, my truth is always different from yours.

    I think I've come to accept this thought, that we are after all, very different beings to the degree that we are the same.

    So what?

    I don't know...

    I know there's no point thinking about these stuff, but somehow I feel there's a necessity to it.

  • 2 Months till...

    Things are going smoothly, so far so great, it's a pleasure meeting and working with our new manager Mr. Lee, he is a very chill guy with great experiences for his age, we share ideas and thoughts and planned this company from scratch...step by step...it's gonna be non-stop for the rest of 08 and probably 09 too.

    Mr. Lee and I, I swear I'm not as office as I seem.

    Mr. Lee, my dad and stepmom on top of new house in TaoYuan.

    I wish I have more interesting photos to post, but I guess I'll wait for Chester to come to Taipei so we can seriously damage our livers...and take pictures too.

    Got drunk and sang with a live-band the other day in a bar; it's not too different from KTVs except for one small detail: you can't "cut" the song, the band plays on and you stand on the stage with everyone looking at you and the band, wondering whether they should clap or not, so what I did was, I stood there and clapped myself. True story.

    Anyway I'm happy it's Friday, I'm going to eat myself some tasty foods and sleep myself till I naturally wake.

  • Taipei vs. Malaysia

    Taipei

    Like:

    1. Girls

    GOD DAMN hella fine ladies...all kinds of styles, tall/lean/office look, short/punky/rocky girls, tattoo/hardcore chicks, Japan-like/dyed hair skinny girls.

    What's with the ultra short shorts though? Some of the girls are fine but most are too skinny and wear extremely short shorts, it almost seems normal until I find my eyes on those hips and legs like I've never seen. Damn you nice good looking girls, not complaining though.

    2. Foods

    Are you kidding me? All you can eat bbq+beer, ain't no cheap shit either. Filet, ribs, fishes, sea food, meat meat meat+hot pot, (4 options, 2 choices, kimchi, spicy, plain, or sea food.), AND DRAFT BEER. $20 max. 'nuff said.

    3. Convenience

    7-11 > you

    4. Traffic

    MRT > you

    5. Net Cafe

    $2 for 5 hours. Yes. +$1 beer. Thanks.

    Hate:

    1. Bus drivers

    If you hate driving a bus, don't do it. Just like what you do.

    Note to newbies on taxis, act like you know, even if you don't. If you admit you're foreign, good luck.

    2. Weather

    34 degree C? I'm going back to Malaysia.

    3. Cold people

    Stop hating on ABCs or a FOBulous like me, 'cause you can't even tell the difference.

    ---

    Anyway I like Taiwan this time around.

    Wanna see A-Bien getting shot again? Come quick!

    By the way, I will literally go "missing" or "disappeared" for saying that one line above, in Malaysia though. Taiwan is all freedom of speech, in a way.

    ---

    Photo time! Uh nothing too exciting though.


    ^ Little White from Malaysia, my favorite dog next to Shadow.

    ^ New desk! Yes now I can FINALLY strech my arm and sit on leather seats.


    ^ New clothes! Nah...just a couple of new shirts from super markets. I miss my Neighborhood days.


    ^ New project! I like the second from left, it reminds me of...ICE WINE, yes.


    ^ My best looking picture, is it because I'm lying down? Damn that's one sexy mother foo.

    Aiight peace!
