真實的自我介紹

你好,我叫做莊智超,可以叫我小超或超人或Tony。
我深信自己是將來要拯救世界的超人,就算不拯救世界也要改變台灣。
我非常的爱台灣這國家,尤其是它的夜市。
為什麼喜歡夜市呢?因為夜市東西都很便宜。
我這個人很小氣,又很不喜歡花錢。雖然每次去夜市都花蠻多的但每一個交易都很少錢,所以至少kimochi比較好。

我唯一捨得花的是電子產品,像PS3,遊戲,螢幕,GeForce顯示卡...
對,忘記提我非常的宅。
多宅呢?我曾經146個小時沒穿褲子過,能破我紀錄的人我請你喝珍珠奶茶。
我宅在家裡時大部分時間都是在玩遊戲,最近玩了很多舊Wii遊戲。
順帶一提,還沒玩過Okami的人一定要去玩,超好玩的!

我以身為一個宅男而傲,我讀電腦的所以電腦厲害當然是不用說。
但我對幾乎所有北美出的遊戲都有基本了解,我知道他們要什麼時候出,最大賣點,主程式師,種種...
我也是動畫達人,比較有知名度的動畫我都有看過,至於follow了話我就沒那麼多時間了。我連漫畫都好久沒碰了,唉...
我現在只能選幾個故事看(像火影,海賊王),雖然覺得很可惜但也只好這樣了...

我不只是宅而已,我在家裡穿的超拉塌的。
其實我以前出去連打扮一下都不會,至少現在有稍微讓自己可以見人了。
但我也不是很帥,我只能靠無根據的自信和不care旁人眼光的態度去打造這個形象。
讀過很多心理學的我很了解人的觀點與思考邏輯,加以利用我就變型男了...吧?
所以如果妳認為我長的還不錯了話,是假象。

還有,我很喜歡思考,有時候會想太多(至少被別人這樣說過好幾次)。
我嚴重到會因為這樣而去批評一些其實沒得罪我的人。
有時也會因為這樣而推掉一些責任或不作一些事情。
但其實主要原因是因為我非常的膽小,我害怕失敗,我害怕犯錯,我討厭焦點在我身上。
沒錯,我就是這麼沒用的人。

我自以為浪漫,我自以為聰明,有時還會想吉他彈不錯。
但仔細想想我什麼都不是,我只是一個活在幻想世界中的小男孩而已。
在這個幻想世界中,時而單身時而有女朋友,看我當時心情。

我覺得當我女朋友會很辛苦因為我沒辦法定下來,我光光在馬來西亞就搬過六次家,更別說我在美國或加拿大的日子了。
而且我在北美讀那麼久書還畢業不了,沒出息對不對?
我對自己和身邊的人要求也很高,我媽常說這會帶給她和我將來另一半很大壓力。
我對外人算蠻和善的但有時對家人脾氣很不好,這是我一大缺點。

我對聖經蠻了解的,但我和神的關係有待加強。
我經常連開聖經都覺得好累,太不應該了我...越來越了解羅馬書7:15所描述的掙扎了。
最近有漸漸回到神身邊,但持續多久就很難說了...

我相信我缺點應該還很多但現在暫時寫這樣就好了。
我有點懶的再打了。喔對,我非常的懶,真的。
我是那種懶到伸懶腰都懶的伸的人。

我叫莊智超,今年23歲,單身,喜歡宅,幻想,耍白痴。歡迎有耐心讀到這裡的女性朋友們留下姓名,msn,夜市最喜歡的食物,和對羅馬書的認知,我會在連絡妳。掰掰~

Hi I'm Tony and I'm a workaholic.

Thanks to Michael Quach, I was able to find a job in the office last week. It's a software development firm, which is nice, since I'm actually doing something related to my major now.

I didn't want to quit my job at the sushi place so I'm now holding two jobs.
It's funny how I get to find jobs so easily while actual Canadians are having trouble finding work. I would feel a sense of guilt but I'm a workaholic who doesn't have time to reflect on petty emotions now.

Here's my daily routine:
I leave for work at 8:35AM, spend the day testing the program. My job as a tester is to break the program and find every single tiny bug in there. And when I run out of things to find, maybe I can finally do some messing around with the code, which is so much more fun. Yes, programming is fun for me. They use vb.net btw.

And then at 5:00PM I leave to hurry to the sushi place, where I now cut lettuce, onions, 茄子, zukinis, lobsters, and the like. I also burn my hand with 120 °C oil while making tempura. Did you know we tear lobsters in half while they are alive? It makes them more fresh. They can actually stay alive for a minute or two in that state, pretty intense. Anyways, we close up and eat dinner at 11PM. And then I finally get to go home, arriving around 11:15PM. So that was Monday through Wednesday. It seems 14 hours isn't enough stress (I'm conducting a stress test on my self to see how much I can handle, refer to this blog post), I wonder how much my body can take before it breaks down... I'm going to ask my sushi boss to give me more night shifts.

This comic would be more accurate if there's a kitchen scene.

I feel like I have so much time today since I only worked one job. So I calculated and I'm making quite a bit of money, I like it. :D There really aren't any workaholics in this world, just people who either need or love money, or both. Why would you do nothing when you can make money? I have 16 hours a day if I count 8 hours of sleep. So I'm wasting 2 hours not making money every day!

PS. I'm not completely serious here. I won't kill myself, don't worry. I am working a lot now though...

My Epiphany

*tongue in cheek warning*
I was running late for Colluni fellowship the other day since we ate dinner late. I was still dressed in my sloppy-stay-at-home attire I had to change real quick. I started to put on my jeans and a random t-shirt. And that's when I realized:
"I need to take a dump."
I stood there for 30 seconds contemplating whether I should go to the bathroom or just hold it in. I decided to go take care of business for safety's sake. And then I did something I have never done in my entire life. I don't know why it has never even occurred to me or why no one I know has done it. This is what I did:

I put on my socks as I took a dump.

Yes, they were happening simultaneously, beautifully coinciding with one another, perfectly matching in rhythm. It's as if they were destined to be done together, a holy matrimony made in heaven. And then it felt like I heard an angelic chorus and a bright light shone on me. I reached an epiphany.

Nothing is impossible, all you have to do is imagine it and you can do it. The oddest of oddities can shatter the weirdest of impossibilities if only one would try it, despite "it" possibly being the vainest of vanities. What matters is removing the limit. And after doing so, you might just achieve something you previously thought to be unachievable... like putting on socks while taking a dump.

超人的夢境

我最近幾天都夢到一些奇奇怪怪的東西

像昨晚我夢到我是個世界級名廚, 去參加頒獎典禮
然後主持人介紹一個小孩子獻致詞
小孩上台竟然開始傳道, 而且還講的令所有人都啞口無言
講到最後他卻突然逼我們全部人都寫一張卡片給我們喜歡的人, 要馬上透過這張紙跟她/他告白
我看身邊的人都很聽話的開始寫, 有些人寫滿整張紙有些人只寫 suki desu
但每個人臉上都充滿笑容, 寫完把卡放進信封寄出去
我發現原來喜歡一個人是多麼幸福的一件事

但當我正要寫的時候一個女生突然出現說喜歡我
天啊! 怎麼會這樣!? 我那時心裡想的是另外一個人耶!
頓時我一大群朋友出現說要去打敗傳說中的大魔王
而且我喜歡的女生也在, 但她在吃火鍋, 我心就想怎麼那麼貪吃啊小姐?
後來好像有發生很多事, 我們也在魔王的城堡探險很久
而且很奇怪的我身邊只剩那個我喜歡的女生
而且我們竟然連武器都沒有, 我的白金盾呢? 我的炎龍劍呢!? 明明是我自己的夢我竟然那麼弱, 不甘心...

Anyways, 我們在城堡開始牽起手來 (因為有位拿者超大菜刀的瘋廚師開始追殺我們)
好害羞喔~ 這就是傳說中的RPG戀愛嗎!?
而且還是十指緊扣喔~
印象中她的手好小好細, 我都怕一不小心就弄傷她的手
但我還是握的很緊 (因為瘋廚師還在後面)
加上我不想放開, 我不想放掉這麼難得的機會
不對啊, 身為一位勇者她手應該不會太細才對, 算了, 夢畢竟還是夢...

後來我就醒來了

還沒存檔耶... 這樣我下次沒辦法從那裡繼續... 真可惜

Quality Control

It always seems that more Chinese readers read what I write anyways, so screw English... at least for now.

最近一直在工作, 一天12小時的在日本餐廳努力賺錢
下禮拜如果萬事順利了話會更忙
嗯, 太好了, 我想知道我自己到底能被操到什麼程度
這就是所謂的product stress test 吧
如果不去測試一個產品所能承受的psi, 它能持續運作多久, 以及其他品質控制會做的種種,
產品的最高效能就不會被提升, 客人也有可能不會滿意...
這就是我想把自己搞到累垮的原因, 但看來stress還不夠...
我這樣的思考模式會很怪嗎? (No, 我不希望你回答)
我這樣做是為了提升自己, 不是masochistic (我知道有人一定會這樣說我)
真的, 請相信我

嗯...
I will cut better, I will cut better, I will cut better...

昨天去考加拿大的駕照, 一次考上! Muahahaha
楓葉卡也在幾天前拿到, 醫療卡也去申請了
我身上屬於加拿大的ID已遠遠超過台灣了

In other news, at small group and fellowship yesterday, we talked about how to serve in a greater capacity.
In order to serve better, one has to be put in a position where one has the need. This further illustrates my long time view of how leaders are grown, not born. If you want to lead, put yourself in a position to do so and God will do the rest. If you don't have God in your life and the Holy Spirit leading it, ask yourself why and what you are missing out on.

啊! 我昨天做了很奇怪的夢, 下次在寫吧
