Friends?

Why can't a girl and a guy just stay friends? Just because they seem close, it doesn't imply anything. Yet, most people don't know the meaning of close. Yes, I agree that i'm close with her but why can't people just see it as a friendly relationship and not an intimate one? Just like Kelly and Alex, even though i do disturb her quite abit but i believe they are just very good friends! Why can people of the opposite sex just stay friends? Honestly, i've got almost as much female friends to the male counterparts. If people noticed that i was close to her, they should see me with other girls! There's Angie, Happy Birthday, by the wayyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would say I'm pretty close to her even though there's no sparks or butterflies or whatsoever. Then there's people like Steffi or Dina, whom i treat as equals with my guy friends! The thing is, female friends offer a different perspective from guys. Both would have their pros and cons... so for those thinking that only single sex friendships, you're really losing out man:P
A bit short eh?? Next , on to suicide! Time is of the essence, 10 mins left! Really, I can understand why people would want to kill themselves as I've thought about it. Deep emotional turbulence, psychological pressure, etc, etc.. sucks really but I've realized that killing yourself is only being irresponsible( which many people are anyway) and it hurts those that love you most! Nothing and i mean nothing is worse than hurting those close to your heart! Furthermore, u're only running away from your problems, not solving it. All of this may sound very cliche but it's the truth. One last thing, after hitting rock bottom, you can only rise but if you're dead, how are you able to achieve that? (Unless you rise to Heaven but according to Christianity, u go to Hell!) Which is kinda harsh.. but no one has the right to take anyone's life including one's self except God. Made my point eh?
That's it for now, just wanna say Sweet 19 eggy Birthday to angie again!! miss u so so muchh, was really nice to talk to u again today!! will be waiting for u to come back kl, so that we can go lepak again!!! ciao!!

oSuShi!!

Last Saturday, i went to my teacher's house, Yoshida Sensei along with 3 other friends to learn how to make sushi. In short, it was tough the way Japanese do it. Lots of steps that can get pretty complicated.
Let's see, the essence of sushi, is the rice! Must never ever get it wrong. How to cook, mixture of vinegar and sugar and etc, etc.. So we were poor people, so we didn't use any expensive fish like tuna or salmon even for that matter but i realised it goes well with squid too! and, yoshida did have a bit of squid sashimi which really rocks! I really wanted to make nigiri sushi and i tried. She taught us how to make it. And trust me , it's damn hard. Lots of experience and practice needed to not master, but be able to do a decent one. Press to hard and the sushi becomes hard, too soft and the whole thing might break apart. Making makis or sushi rolls on the other hand was simple but tasted really really good( Kelly it's not my fault you weren't in hostel on Saturday. who asked you to go back home:P) Other than the rice, making egg rolls too seemed like a challenge!! Too hard to explaain it here without pictures but it basically consists of rolling thin layers of eggs.(duH right?) Really had fun that day and made so much sushi till i was bloated! 5 of us could not finish eating 1 kilo of sushi.
In conclusion. this cooking exercise was a huge success. The four of us have agreed to open a stall , if the hostel hosts the entreprenuership carnival like it did last year. Gonna earn $$$$, hopefully anyway. It ain't expensive if you use the right stuff! That's all for now..
Next issue: Suiicide or maybe what's wrong with a guy and a girl just being friends?!( Kelly, u know what i'm talking about here!)
