"What is a *toot* like THAT doing with a *bleep* like THAT?"

Greetings, dear readers. I am back again with yet another intriguing topic. Referring to my entry title; honestly, people, how many times have you asked this question before? I'm sure most of you have asked this question at least ONCE in your life. Regardless of whether you've asked that question while talking about a celebrity, a family member, a friend, or the usual, RANDOM STRANGERS, you can't escape from asking it when you see a couple that doesn't look matching or suitable appearance wise. I'm personally one of those people who keep asking that same question whenever I'm out. Its always like, I'm walking around and I see this smokin hot chick. Pretty, beautiful body, nice smile, very gorgeously dressed, and seems like a fun girl. And then I notice she's holding someone's hand. From the hand-in-hand, my eyes crawl up the shoulder to the owner of the lucky hand that is blessed to even be that close to something as heavenly as that, and I'M FRUSTRATED. I see this unpleasant looking face (kinda miserable looking like "i hate life" kinda look), dressed in a worn out T-shirt and skinny grunge jeans, finished off wit slippers (looking like a complete Rempit if u ask me).

"DAMN MAN! WHAT THE FUCK IS A CHICK LIKE THAT DOING WITH A SCREW-UP LIKE THAT?!!"

Things get especially critical when I'm out wit my Bro. You know, when you put a couple of guys in a shopping complex, on any day (preferably weekends), its hard for them to ever get bored, even if they're always on a budget. What they shop for don't need money.

"5 o'clock!"......"check!".........your "6.30"........"got it!........"12 straight ahead"
(saying together with nods of approval)"DAYUM!!"

and then there's the disappointments;

"dude, check that chick out man. wait..WTF?? aiyo,check out the disaster she's with.
How in d world guy like dat can get chick like dat? Dats fucking unfair wei. Shit"

Sigh. Its like that all the time. But hey, before you ladies start to think this is just a GUY thing, I'll have you females know, I've seen and heard myself GIRLS saying stuff like..

"eeeeeyer....why dat guy's girlfriend so gonecase wan? So leng chai, get gf like dat. Cham lor."
(TRANSLATION: eeeeeeeeewwww, why is that guy's girlfriend so ugly? He's so good looking but end up with a girl like dat. How unfortunate.)

So yeah, I dare say this is quite the social issue. It is without doubt that nowadays, we tend to see more hot people....dating not-so-hot people. They're everywhere! In shopping complexes, restaurants, parks, public transports, schools. But at the same time, there's an equal amount of people who can't stop asking "WHY?" does shit happen that way. Saying "its not fair", "it ain't right", "she/he must be blind", "she/he must be loaded" etc. It is actually quite puzzling to wonder why DOES shit happen that way. People in general like to say "god is always fair, but the world is always unfair". I believe strongly in that saying because it really does apply in many life situations (especially in today's topic). But despite holding on to that saying, I try to analyze the situation than rather just keep repeating the same miserable question whenever the situation occurs. I feel that, one of the reasons we think this way is the result of media exposure and society. As long as we can remember, we have been exposed to a society that favours the positive over the negative. "Who's more rich, who's smarter, who's more good looking". This bad perception is further worsened by the media. TV shows, magazines, posters. All telling us that beautiful and handsome is good, otherwise is not. So when we see a beautiful person, somehow that person would automatically give off positive appeal, and then when a not pleasant looking person (which usually gives off negative appeal) is seen interacting with a beautiful person, it immediatly disturbs the radiation of the beautiful person's positive appeal, which makes us feel that something is wrong about it. It all a matter of perception, the problem is, society and media has kinda stereotyped our perceptions. Sigh.

But you know what? I guess I'm the only guy whose analyzing this social issue this way. Majority of our society in Malaysia (or KL at least) seem to be fine with the way things are and are even becoming the reason this social issue is an issue at all. Recently, I was listening to FLY FM on my way home after an outing. I was totally enlightened to the reason why we are seeing more hot people dating not-so-hot people! The hot topic discussed was "would you rather have a partner with a hot body, with no hot body yourself? or otherwise, and why".

From the comments and calls they got, the statistics added up to 60 percent of guys would rather have a partner with a hot body, than a hot body themselves. On the other hand, 90% of women would rather have hot bodies themselves than a partner with a hot body.

There were a few calls that got me really interested. A girl was saying, "you know the reason why girl's get guys wit no hot body is cos they're insecure. The more good looking they're guy is, the more insecure they are! I told me boyfren before, its ok! You fat oso I still love you wan" and the DJ on air at that time (a girl) was like "I totally tell my boyfriend the same thing!!" Another girl said, "Of course I'd want a hot body rather than a partner with a hot body. Because right, when we have a nice body, our partners should be motivated to get in shape and do the same" (yeah right). What all guys said weren't that interesting. I'm a guy. So what women think, matter more to me when it comes to this. Guys in general, are very visually oriented creatures. First impression really matters, so obviously the hot ones get noticed first when it comes to guys. But that's not necessarily the reason guys get with girls (we're not that shallow) although it is one of the main reasons we get attracted to girls. Whatever it is, that radio session that day has been a great help to me. It may not counter my prejudice towards odd matched couples, but i'm definitly less critical towards them now that I know a general reason behind this epidemic. However, I am and will still be frustrated whenever I see a Kristin Kreuk look-alike with a Ronaldinho or Tevez (don't get me wrong, these guys are GREAT football players but they're not actually well known for they're looks). Thanks for viewing!

I'm Not Dead, Overdue Brain Waste For All.

First and foremost, I would like to apologize greatly for such long absence. I realize its been 4 MONTHS since I last blogged.That's almost a whole semester! I must admit, I am a bit ashamed to call myself a Blogger. However, my absence has good reasons though. Firstly, my residence in Penang as some of you know, has no internet connection. Therefore, going online would require me to go to a cybercafe or the Uni computer lab which is kinda troublesome. Secondly, a 4 month semester is kinda short, so 7 subjects were kinda packed and I was very busy. I rarely had the time for blogging (when I blog it usually takes a couple hours) and I'm a person who tries to have blog entries with substance or at least interesting topics, rather than an uninspired, random, occasional update about my life. Lastly, trying to maintain being the Best Student for Program HM 110 (Diploma in Hotel Management program code at UiTM Penang) isnt easy. I'm glad to say, the price of loosing a social life over making parents proud is quite worth it.

With all that being said, I thank all you readers who have cared enough to ask what's been up with me and why there has been no updates. Thank you all very much. Fret no more, Iyliak88 is back with a whole lot of brain waste for you all.

AAAAH, THE HOLIDAYS. A time for relaxation, a time to appreciate family more, a time to catch up with friends and social life, a time for self realization and discovery. Well, a holiday maybe all those things for the average person, but for me, holidays are the beginning of ultimate brain waste development. To those of you who don't know me, holidays kinda suck to me in a way because it gives me way too much time to think, especially of nonsense. No doubt I get to relax, cherish family and friends, but none of that happens as much as my mind playing with my thoughts. So as my first entry in a very very long time, I'm gonna let out some brain waste that has been bugging me lately to ease myself.

It has been brought to my attention that

I AM JUDGMENTAL.

I often make judgments about situations and people very quickly. Whether they're good or bad, It only takes me awhile to make my statement or assumption towards that situation or person. I rarely analyze or give much thought towards that certain thing or person if it doesn't matter to me or it doesn't affect me. I also often compare myself or my situations to others.The worst part is, its usually very hard for me to change my view towards that certain thing once I've already thought of it. In simple words I'm quite the critic actually. I realize that this behavior is not a good thing. In fact its quite negative. I mean, its never nice to be judged by people and get shots left and right just because you are who you are or something is the way it is. However, its something that I have been doing almost all my life without ever realizing till now. Before this, If I didn't like something, I'd automatically have a negative perception about it and keep it to myself (sometimes sharing it with trusted ones), nothing drastic. I may never show that I dislike something, but in my mind I know I don't like it. I realize that this habit, of thinking one way about something, and acting contradictorily has made me quite an unhappy person at times. Like when I compare situations,

"they're rich and fabulous, they're happier than me",

or when I'm talking with someone with a straight face but I'm annoyed cos actually in my head I really don't like that person. The judging, the comparing. It happens all the time but I can't help it. I once consulted a friend about this and thought that maybe my judgmental nature is the result of the society I've grown up in. A modern, urban society that always compares who's better, who's cool, who sucks, who's pathetic. It may also be because of my own ego that has built up through the years, always thinking I'm better than others, and if I'm not, they suck, or if I'm not doing well in one situation, that situation sucks, not me. I never realized this before but this attitude makes me quite an ass, especially towards myself. This ass-like habit is something that most people do without realizing too. It doesn't me any worse than anybody else out there. WE'RE ALL CRITICS AND JUDGES! But that's what makes us normal and average. I'm glad that I've actually been smacked to self realization and I'm finally aware of my narrow perception towards things. It something I have just learned recently, and like all lessons in life, it takes time to digest. I try to tell myself to have a more open mind towards things nowadays. I try not to judge so quickly and compare so easily. I try to be more positive. I always try to be a better person and in future I can only hope I will be a better person. I'm only human, so change doesn't happen immediately but I'm glad enough my eyes are now open wider. However, don't be surprised my next entry would still be something shallow and judgmental again, because being a critic and being judgmental is still a major part of our society. Besides, its from being critical and judgmental towards others that interesting topics emerge, and of course not forgetting, this is IYLIA'S BRAIN WASTE, this is my spot where I can say whatever I want. haha. Till next time, Thank You For Viewing!

House

Greetings readers. No, I'm not gonna blog about the TV Series, House, although I'm quite a fan of it. But I bet you thought I was. On a side note, House is an awesome series. Anyway, today's entry is about my life at home away from home. As mentioned before, I am currently living in a wooden shack just off campus with 6 other friends of mine.5 of which are my classmates from last semester. We're kinda close, hang out a lot, have fun and laugh a lot together. I knew they're all good and reliable people before I decided to move in with them because I spent 6 months with them. Was actually kind of looking forward to be living with them for the next semester or maybe longer than that. That positive enthusiasm soon changed.

My first week at the H.O.F, House of Fabulous, as my hommies call it, was kinda nice. The fact that it had wooden walls, cement floor, a hole (just a hole with no flush) for a latrine, no stove, and no hot water did not really bug me. The mosquitoes did often test my patience and skin but it was still bearable. Can't hate mother nature at work. Living in Penang is definitely a different experience than living in KL, especially in the part of Penang I am in. Its so..so..KAMPUNG. I open my main door and I see a "jungle", a large patch of wild bushes. I step outside the house, the breeze is refreshing, and the blue sky with soft clouds is beautiful. Take a look to the right, there's a STONE house in building progress. Take a look to the left, one of the busiest roads on this side of Penang. Across the road, more wooden houses surrounding a row of shop lots. This house comes with its very own friendly "guardians". A pair of cute small cats. One orange, the other all white with a blue right eye, and a yellow left eye. My first week in this house was indeed very nice. But there was more in store for me.

Week 2 at the H.O.F, I had to get used to the

"what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours"

mentality. We were constantly depending on things that each other had. Toiletries, electrical appliances, pillows, blankets, and mattresses, shoes, FOOD and even MONEY. As much as I didn't like sharing so much with other people, I myself am guilty of sharing this and that in the house. But in a very short time, intolerable behavior emerged. Drinking all the water in the house and not boiling water again to refill, eating food without plates causing crumbs everywhere, not keeping food items properly (as in the proper way to make it last longer), using plates or other kitchenware and just leaving them in the sink as if they were gonna magically wash themselves, not bothering to sweep the house although dust can be felt with every step taken on the floor, not giving two shits about keeping the house clean,

FINISHING ALL THE INSTANT NOODLES IN THE HOUSE!!

(that could drive a college student crazy!). The behavior of some of the people who live in this house is unacceptable but to maintain the harmony of living under the same roof, I didn't do anything about it except bare with it.

But what happen to me a few days ago really burst an artery. I came home one day, very tired from a long day at college. Hung around awhile to catch my breath, watched some TV with my hommies, talked and laughed as usual, then headed to the bathroom for a bath. After my bath, as I walked out of the bathroom, I found my scissors at the bathroom. I was surprised to find it there because I have never used it in the bathroom before. The last time I saw my scissors was in the kitchen used to cut plastics. My mind gears turned and they lead me to assume the worst of to why my scissors were in the toilet. The thought of it was revolting.

I don't know of anyone who cuts HEAD hair in a bathroom, but I know many who cut other forms of hair in the bathroom.

But in this situation, it was some mystery guy who used MY scissors to do that. MY FUCKING SCISSORS!!! I stormed into the living room where everyone was, holding my "hygienically doubtful" scissors by the handles.

HOW DID MY SCISSORS GET INTO THE BATHROOM?!

I said loudly. My hommies looked at me, looked at each other, and looked back at me with dumb looks and said "I don't know" one-by-one with an equally dumb tone. I should have known nobody would admit to such a thing, especially with the obvious angry expression on my face. ANIMALS!! I thought to myself. FUCKING ANIMALS!! Just when I thought I could trust the people I'm living with in this house more than my roommates when I was in hostel, something like this happens, and one of them is lying straight to my face. And because they all said "I don't know" with the same dumb tone, they are ALL suspects. Again, there was nothing much I could do with the situation. I smashed the tainted scissors to the floor and grumbled the rest of damn day. Avoiding any communication with the animals.

It took me quite awhile to cool off after the incident. A friend of mine managed to convince me to not be so angry and not to do anything rash that may disrupt the H.O.F harmony and lead to me having haters and enemies. (If you're reading this, thanks, you know who you are). Whether I liked it or not, the very next day, I was faced with the same faces and same behaviors. So I just accepted the fact that this is how life with housemates is and things could be worse. I do really hope that things get better, and eventually there will come a time where my hommies and I can be honest and mature enough to talk about problems and find ways to resolve them, because I'm not the only one with problems in the house. I have seen some of my other housemates patiently exhale, tolerating something another housemate did. But then again, that's life with people living together in one HOUSE. Thanks for viewing!

P.S: Today I saw a KOMODO DRAGON in the bush in bush at my house. Its head alone was the size of my full hand. I felt like Crocodile Hunter searching in the bushes to take a better look at it. It was a cool experience.

2009: A New Year's Resolution

Greetings readers. Happy New Year. Happy 2009. Here comes the time where most people dish out their plans, hopes, and dreams for the year ahead. I personally, have so many thoughts running through my mind as I type this. Been doing quite a lot of thinking lately (classes haven't got serious enough to switch on my focus) about what my 2009 resolutions are. I'm not even sure if I should have any 2009 resolutions to begin with, because what I want and need will most likely change through out the year. Regardless of that, I've had and maybe always will have this urge to get things out of my head. Before I move on to 2009 resolutions, I wanna recap what 2008 was for me in general.

2008 to me:
- was a very progressive phase in my life. I managed to get into UiTM, a very financially friendly local public university which gave me a second chance to futher my studies without burning a big whole in my parents' pockets. The fact that I got shitty results for STPM and i'm two years elder than the usual admission age to a Diploma programme makes my aceptance into UiTM a bigger deal to me. Making the best out of this second chance, I transformed myself from a high school slacker, to a hardworking, nerd-like, top scorer. I had put the most effort ever in studying unlike I've ever done before and did it with much optimisme and positivity. My efforts paid off dearly when I got a GPA of 3.92 by the end of my 1st semester, which ended my academic 2008 marvelously.
- was a year with many new experiences. My first time living away from home, in a hostel for 6 months, and in a non-residential house off campus with friends (since 27th December 2008). My first Christmas gathering at a friend's house with just my close frens, where this year I was

the ONLY person giving EVERYONE Christmas gifts instead of the only person NOT giving Christmas gifts.

My first New Year Eve away from home (so simple yet quite fun, thanks to my hommies). My first Dean's List achievement. My first time participating in performing arts, a musical. Had an extraordinary experience at MIRACLE Youth Conference 2008, and many other new experiences.

- was a socially and emotionally turbulent year. Had many ups and down when it came to relationships and friendship, family and friends. Got tired of staying at home, hearing my mum nag and boss, but I'm loving and appreciating my parents and family more and more. Contented with friends I have around me, but constantly hoping for better. Got more freedom than I used to, but there's less people and less activities than there used to be. Often find myself alone voluntarily and willingly, but just as often as I find myself laughing and smiling in a happy crowd. Missing the warmth of a romantic and intimate relationship yet trying to enjoy the freedom and absent-mindedness of being single.

- is a year with no regrets.

- generally a good year.

All that being said, yet another year has passed. I now look foward to hopefully yet another good year and god willing it'll be a great year ahead. There are somethings I really hope to achieve this year. So I guess the following are as close as I can get to planning out my new year's resolutions.

In 2009 I will:
1) Maintain a GPA of 3.5 and above, achieve a CGPA of 3.5 and above, remain a Dean's List student and hopefully as one of the top scorers.
2) Appreciate my family and friends more. Try and establish more concrete and deep bonds between my friends. Make new friends and meet new people who help make me a better person.
3) Do something outstanding. Something new and exciting.
4) Remain an active member of the UiTM society yet balancing all my co-curricular activities with my curricular affairs.
5) GET A PHYSIQUE WORTH DROOLING OVER (or maybe just enough to make everyone look with amazement)
6) Live healthily.
7) Take life as it comes, learn from the past, anticipate the future, but live in the present. No more day dreaming of what could be or could've been, nor would be. Only of what IS.
8) Help more people, be a better samaritan, be more courteous, be wiser, try and be a better person.
9) ATTEMPT to get back on the path of light, the path to God's Kingdom.
10) Smile more, laugh more and try to have more fun.

There are more small things I'd like to achieve in the year ahead. But hey, its gonna be a long year. Things change, people change, everything changes over time one way or another. I just hope that the bad things change to good, good things change to better, better things change to the best things ever. To all my friends and readers, I wish all of you a HAPPY 2009, may you have a great year. God Bless. As always, thank you for viewing. Peace.

Friends

Dear readers, as told earlier I will face difficulties blogging again due to my new semester starting. The past week I've been busy with last minute household affairs, social affairs, and basically preparing for college life again. Only this time, I'm not staying on campus anymore. For the first time I'm staying in a house with just peers. The house is shabby, creaky, and most of all, WOODEN. Yes, wooden. But despite the condition of the house, its who fills the house that matters most to me. I'm contented with the bunch I will be staying with in this squatters like house. They're my classmates from last semester, my clicks in UiTM here. They're a rather crazy and noisy, but fun crowd. Its rarely a boring day with these guys. Although they appeal quite a lot to me, I honestly haven't considered them as people I'd call good friends yet. I do compare them with the people back in KL whom I DO call friends and I find that both groups are completely different, yet they are kind of similar in some ways. Which brings me to this entry.

You know those TV series like FRIENDS, DAWSON's CREEK, ONE TREE HILL, and THE OC? Well, I grew up watching those kinda stuff. The shows are very interesting, so are the cast, as well as the settings in it, but you know what captivates me the most in these shows? The chemistry between the characters. I'm captivated by the bond they have between them. Like, they're world seems so small because its just the few of them, the same faces all the time. They know almost everything about each other, they're always hanging out together and they care about each other. No matter what the situation is, fun, crazy, adventurous, sad, angry, serious, relaxed, they are somehow always together, or at least they know whats going on between each other regardless of how each situation affects each person. I'm not sure if that's what's defined as a great friendship, but to me, I see that as an amazing friendship. I've actually came across people who have that kind of friendship. People with friends who they can talk to always no matter about what, and be completely honest with each other no matter what the outcome, they're always together or close one way or another. Not even distance, nor time, nor any other circumstance can break their friendship. I've seen such thing. It does exist. And I envy it.

Through my lifetime so far, I've had many friends, and even more acquaintances. I'm generally a very social and friendly person, so making new friends and meeting new people comes quite easily to me. But the hard part for me is finding friends worthy of calling great friends. I only realized this shortly after leaving high school after Form 5. When I was in school, I had the comfort of great friends everyday, good or bad, rain or shine. That's mainly due to the fact we ALL were in school almost everyday. But right after leaving school, things changed. Distance became a major barrier, status and wealth intervened, social interests came between us, and many other reasons. My circle or friends shrank drastically. Now, I still have a few close friends whom I've known quite long and I'm still making new friends. But I feel, I have even fewer good friends, amazing friends. I'm not saying I don't have good friends, I do, but fewer than you may think or know. Its actually kind of depressing thinking of it, moreover when I'm on holiday having too much time to think (I actually thought of this entry quite sometime ago during my hols). I mean, I have friends I really enjoy hanging out with, being with and all, but I realized I don't know much about them, neither do I share much thoughts with them. My friendship with them is actually kind of shallow, barely scratches the surface. That's what lead me to say that my friends here in UiTM, and my friends back in KL, are very different, yet they are quite similar. My clicks in KL all speak English, come from quite well off families, and have more costly social interests. My clicks in UiTM mostly speak Bahasa Malaysia, come from not so well off families, and have less costly social interests. But despite the differences, I really enjoy hanging out with all of them (both groups of clicks). I love being with them, I cherish moments we share, and its great having them as friends. My clicks also are similar in the sense that, as much as I love hanging out with them, I barely know anything about them, and I don't have much deep conversations with them.

When it comes to this problem of mine, I often wonder why it is so. Why is it that I can't have more amazing friends? Why is it that I want to care about them but I feel they don't care about me? Why don't I know much about them? With those questions, I also came up with some possible answers. Maybe they're not good enough to be my great friends. Maybe I'M not good anough to be THEIR great friend. Maybe I'm too picky. Maybe I'm not putting in the effort required to develop a great friendship. Maybe I'm afraid. I once discussed what's my greatest fear with a great friend of mine. My greatest fear is being alone. REALLY alone. Like the only human left on the Earth kind of alone. I realize this fear comes from my psychological need to interact with people. If I were Tom Hanks in cast away, I'd go bonkers by the day after I got washed ashore. The irony now is, although I have quite many friends, I still feel kind of alone.

A friend once asked me,
"what do you feel you need most in your life right now?"
I answered,
"more good friends..."

I'm still kind of young, and I still feel there's a chance I can have amazing friends like those in FRIENDS, Dawson's Creek, etc. But until then, I will envy those TV friendships. To my great friends, thank you so much for being there for me all those times.

Places of Me

Dear avid readers, I've got like about two weeks left before I go back to Penang and shall face difficulties blogging again. So I must take what little time I have left to blog randomly and get out as much brain waste as I can while I'm still in holiday mood. Moving on to what I want to get out in this particular entry, I was in the Kota Raya area last week on my way home after a gathering. It was kinda early to go home (4pm) so I decided to take a good walk down memory lane. As I walked, I passed through the places where I used to go. Every step I took, a memory appeared in my mind. Its beautiful. How wonderful were those days where I walked this same path almost everyday. The memories so abundant, its breathtaking. The walk that day inspired me to produce this entry. The following are locations (not just in Kota Raya but others as well) that have significant places deep inside my heart, which a few have some remarks on. I just feel like immortalizing these places, not only in my head but here as well. For those of you who were with me through all these place, at all those times, I assure you this is the most sentimental entry so far.

Places Of Me

• Victoria Institution - my high school, the place where I stepped in a boy, stepped out a man. The place where I spent almost 7 years of my life. The place who made me who I am today. Too much can be said just about this place.
  
• Stadium Negara - used to have an awesome food court, with heavenly burgers, and awesome drinks. Cincau Susu Satu! was a great place to hang out after school.
• Hang Tuah LRT station
• San Peng area - 7-eleven, Guan Kee, mamak near maybank, Kelantan.
• Olympic 98
• BORMAS at Jalan Maharajalela.

• Petaling Street
• McDonald's beside the overhead bridge at Petaling Street.
• Shin Kee Beef Noodle Specialist - the best beef ball noodles ever.
  
• Kota Raya area - KFC, Nam Heong, Arcade at Kota Raya shopping complex (DAYTONA, S&M complex.
• McDonald's near MYDIN
• McDonald's at UDA Ocean

Besides these sentimentally sacred locations, there are also many other sentimentally significant locations during my high school years. But these featured locations have a more significant appeal because I've been through these places more than once, very often in fact. I hope that these locations will forever stay the way they are, as the way they'll forever stay in my heart (wipes away metaphorical tear). Some people have said that High School is when you spend the best years of your life. For me, I believe that's true so far.

Girl Talk

Good Day, class. My name is Mr. Iylia Kamal and I will be teaching you Iylia's Girl Talk. This subject is rather subjective and often varies depending on other people's perceptions and opinions. Regardless of that, these are interesting information that you may find useful someday. In today's lesson, we'll be discussing some of the common terms used by Iylia to categorize females based on their physical appearances. Generally, males are visually oriented creatures, therefore to most guys, females' physical appearance matters a lot and usually comes first in their criteria when searching for potential mates. So to the females, the next time a male says looks don't matter, take it with a pinch of salt. I'm not saying don't trust them, but make them prove it if you believe so. The following terms come along with their definitions and remarks for each respectively according to Iylia.

1. HOT
- Attractive. Could be referring to sexy (refer to 3. SEXY), or pretty (refer to 2. PRETTY). Could be referring to face only, body only, face and body, certain gestures, or even dressing.
- Usually used with a certain degree of sexual arousal, depending on level of hotness of the subject, or, the tone and/or expression that comes along with the usage of the term.

Damn Fucking
Fucking
Very
Quite

To elaborate on the differences between some of the terms, in my personal opinion, almost any girl can be hot. Being a very general term, hot is very easy to achieve, keep fit, dress great, do attractive gestures, and presto almost any girl can be hot. The same goes to sexy also. Sexy is also something that's do-able or can be modified. Show some skin, do suggestive or provocative gestures, wallah! u got sexy. Fuckable....well.....you think for yourself lah, class.

For pretty, and sweet, these two are physical attractiveness that come naturally. Either you're born with it or not. Not everyone is born pretty or sweet. Pretty and sweet usually cannot be made or modified. Regarding that, FAKE IS UGLY. Pretty and sweet are gifts from God. With these two terms, gorgeous sometimes comes along with it. Gorgeous usually is a combination of a pretty or sweet face and awesome dressing. So in a way, gorgeous is more significant than pretty and sweet, and yet without pretty and sweet, there usually is no gorgeous. Like pretty and sweet, gorgeous is also a gift from God because its the combination of beautiful looks and beautiful taste.

So class, when you all come across the terms, HOT, SEXY, CUTE, or FUCKABLE, that's good, but when you all encounter the terms PRETTY, SWEET, or GORGEOUS, that's much better.
And if you don't hear any of these terms...well.....you're probably not detected on the radar. That's putting it nicely.

KRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

Wops! There goes the bell. That will be all for today's lesson. Thank you, Class.

THANK YOU, MR.IYLIA!!!! (I wish)
