Melodramatic header, I would say. Very simply, hi all. My name is Eolanda or Eries, the online name I go by.

I was invited into the blog a day back and cracking my head on what kind of entrance I should give. When thank goodness, Shine placed a precedence before me. I came across this blogging community from randomly clicking a friend's blog and when I saw it, my 1st impression was, "Hey, sounds fun. Looks like something I'd like to get into." I left a message on the chatbox and the rest, as they say, is history.

I've been a blogger since 2004, though I admit to having a rather shallow beginning to this "career". I am not very much of an opinion-based blogger as you can see if you have ventured into my blog. However, occasional spur of thoughts do occur in my life. When that does happen, I'd like people to know what I'm thinking, meaning, feedback is very most encouraged.

Not trying to stereotype people in the blogging community, however, I do believe that bloggers should be open minded. When letting out our thoughts through the web, we allow people from all walks of life to view our words. Its a wonderful way of getting different perspectives of things and personally, thats why I love the internet and blogging.

Getting more upclose and personal with me, I am now 20 years old (sadly no longer a teenager) and a Law major in Multimedia University, Melaka. Yes, many people do not know of the existance of this course in MMU Melaka but I assure you it does exist and is not all that bad. Personality-wise; I can be very direct and honest with you. I can be sensitive, but at the same time I can be like a rock; paradoxal I'd say. But most of all, I can be crazy!

I love art, craft, designing, music, poetry, gaming, cooking and well, etc. It's funny that I'm taking Law, I know, but sometimes a girl's got to do what she's got to do :) Well, I don't want to bore you with the details (very cliche excuse), but well, ask me personally for further information, or just pop by my blog.

As a finale, here a lil' picture.

The lil things you see while lying down on the backseat of a car.
Simply simple but delightful.

Hihi all, I am Shine.

Ok, that was a stupid intro, but heck, hihi, my name is Shine. No, seriously, my name is Shine. My full name is L0w Y3n Sh1n3 (I have decided to 1337 this for privacy issues...). Why do I have such a pathetic last name? Cause my dad added E to Shin to make it look cool, but too bad he doesn't understand English.
Anyways, I have been invited by Jaspreet to join this blogging community and I was like, hey, why not? As to why he wanted to invite me? Lets just say that both of us have nothing better to do, and out of nowhere he just goes like hey, why don't you join RANDTS?
I was like, wtf is RANDTS?
Then he gives a long story of this that this that blabla whatever...
Then I was like, ok, sure!

And so here I am.

Ok, as Jaspreet asked me to, allow me to post a little introduction regarding myself.
First and foremost, I am an 18 year old little boy, of Chinese descend. I am short, fat, ugly, and totally below the standard level of socially acceptable looks. I will not post my picture here so that it will not shatter your LCD monitor. I am currently finishing A-Levels in KDU, and will be going to the States this August, and National Service this Saturday. Ya, I know, life sucks.

Personality wise, I am obnoxious, annoying, selfish, egoistic, emotional, and curse more times a day than the grain of rice you ate last dinner. My sole interests are games, namely DOtA, CS 1.6 (CS Source sucks) and a few other PC/PS2 games. I am highly anticipating Starcraft 2 now (ya, just like you Albert). I honestly couldn't care less about exam, studies, lecturers, tests, projects, assignments, yadda yadda yadda.

So ya, thats a pretty basic idea of who I am. If you want to know more, feel free to ask. That is, assuming you want to know lar. Anyways, glad to be joining this blogging community. =D

Ciao. I <3>

Hey im jasmine, 17 and i am from SABAH!
im not sure if any of the RANDTSers do come from sabah, but i do, so.. yay me!

anyway, im an active blogger.
by active, i mean, i blog almost everyday.
and yes, i do own my own blog which is called kinkyjasmines.
dont ask me why i chose the name.
but i did, and im proud of it, and it has been there for about 1 year plus now. wheeeee....

blogging wise... well, i have been blogging for about 7 years now.
got really into it for about 3 years though, thanks to jared.
he showed me the 'right' path. hahahaha. but yea.

i have this thing with pretty things.
i consider myself as being narcissistic, impulsive and sarcastic.
i have two pairs of piercings and an eyeliner that'll make me super duper hot.
i like silly happy things like jumping on puddles and singing in the shower.

i would like to think of myself as being a talented, self-proclaimed artist/genius.
i have a very vivid imagination.
i still cant understand why pigs cant fly.
i adore fashion, photography, smily faces and purple.
i like to look at pretty people too.

anyway, its nice to be apart of RANDTS.
and as for my future posts here, well, lets just say there's going to be a whole lot of sarcasm that you would either love or LOVE even more.
(hopefully the love even more one..)

take care people.

jasmine

LOLZ!

I'm sorry guyz 'n gurls i had forgotten to introduce myself formally ... :P
Y'all must've been wondering who is this guy anyways?

So here goes ...

I am ... Jaspreet Singh Kwatra
Call me Kwatra.
I am also the Arbitary Juggernaut.
Why? Because i like to observe and conclude (Arbitary) And I AM UNSTOPPABLE (Juggernaut)

XP!

I am a Sikh by culture, and somewhat friendly by nature.

Me and Albert, we've been buddies for quite awhile. (Que Albert to give a short and flattering mad rant on what a good friend i am ;P)

Primarily i have a problem with discrimination, which is why i will be probably be talking a lot about it in most of my posts.

Anyways i think that I'm gonna make most (if not all) my posts somewhat poetic if you get my meaning.

Visit my blog if you ever have the time ...
http://thelifeofmebykwatra.blogspot.com/

Believe me, I'm not being vain here. If I see such people rushing towards me with this banner, I'd certainly run for my life first!

All right. Some of you, if not most, should have already known me by now. But just in case you don't, here's a post that will be different from my previous two, where I posted up two rather serious types of posts. In this post, allow me to let you know more about "yours truly" here.

Right, basically this post will highlight a bit more detail about me, which perhaps isn't so interesting after all. You decide for yourself.

Greetings fellow RANDTSters!! Seems like I'm the only one who hasn't post a thing albeit being named as one of the 13 RANDTSters, thousand apologize as it's really been a crazily packed week for me. My first post this week is of course dedicated to R.A.N.D.T.S.

First and foremost, I would like to say "Hi!!!" *waves ecstatically* to all the RANDTSters, readers and bloggers out there!! And Jared, thank you so much for the invitation! I knew my blogging is no where near all of the RANDTSters standard, proficiency in language & also topic coverage wise - I was in awe as I carefully read through each and every post! It's definitely a great place to get acquainted with people from different places, share our stories, thoughts - and also something beyond our daily encounters. My intuition tells me that R.A.N.D.T.S. is capable of becoming an influential blog. I guess when all of RANDTSters unite, nothing is implausible.

Before I go further, let me do a brief introduction of myself. Well, I'm wenLi from Land of Hornbills - Sarawak, currently residing in Kuching. I've started blogging since late 2004 & has developed from "once in a week update on petty stuff" to an avid blogger who spends at least 2 hours on blogs related everyday. I was actually influenced by my sister to start my own blog, Life as a kid. One thing's for sure, I didn't know much about group blog, bloghopping, or cuztomisation of blogs back then - it was kept to myself and well quite dead and boring, but my interest propelled early 2005 after I've started to read influential blogs and you know what? I couldn't stop since then.

To me, blogging enables self discovery and improvement. It's trained me to be more observant, careful when I pen down my thoughts and to think out of the ordinary. Especially in terms of writing. I'd noticed a big change there in comparison to my first few entries. I've also earned myself number of friends in the blogsphere. What can I say? I've earned more than I'd expected. Like what an accounting student would say, this is a profitable investment.

Yea, I was a student from Science stream but I'd given up on it & decided to choose accounting (CAT/ACCA) as my tertiery education route. Still, I can't say that this is my sole destiny. It's not exactly a road not taken - but definitely a path I've not walked for a while. So far so good I must say. I also love music, plays some instrument but my skill is hanging bare at the moment. Other than that, I guess I'm just an ordinary girl who loves to talk, shop, gossip, the usual.

Okay, guess that's all for now. If you wish to know more about me, feel free to add me in Friendster, MSN Messenger etc. (Just head on to my profile and it'll lead you to my email.)

Once again, it's a pleasure to be part of R.A.N.D.T.S., a proud RANDTSter!!

Dear blogger mates,

First of all, i just wanna give a HUGE HELLO!
Nice meeting you all here. Thanks to Jared for the invitation.

I'm Melanie from JB, just turned 18 last 20th December. I know. I'm so freaking young!
Currently doing my Upper 6 in a peacefull school called Sultan Ismail(aka SSI) where the school only cares about studies and NOT CC activities.
I'm in the arts stream now doing Econs, History and Malay Language studies.
Got pretty sick of science when i was in SPM year.

I've started blogging since 2004 when i am willingly to go on the net from the afternoon till the next morning and then continue going to school at 7am.
From Modblog to Moblog to Blogspot to RANDTS now.
In another word, i love blogging.
In my current blog, i blog bout almost anything at all.
From my life to movies to musics.
I design all of my blogskin with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0.
It's the only thing i'm good at beside camwhoring in front of the camera and singing.

Besides blogging, i love music.
I listen to all sorts of music. Especially soundtracks from One Tree Hill and The O.C and great vocals from Fefe Dobson, Gavin Degraw & etc...
And i kinda like singing too.
My cousin and i will normally get together and record song tunes and post it on the net.
For demo, visit my Imeem Profile.
Listen to the one with pictures.
We're both crazy when it comes to music.
I might not know how to play any instrument, but i would like to learn guitar one day when i'm free.
Life is just hectic in Form 6.

I have a bunch of beautiful friends. And we named ourselves, Radical Dreamers.
We're just beautiful.
Visit my blog for their beautiful faces.
And i can't deny that i'm beautiful too. I'm vain too.
But no worries, i ain't a BIMBO.
I'm good in HTMLs and Photoshopping. At least...

That's all for now.
Come back again for more of RANDTS.

Hullo everybody,

I'm officially and RANDTSer today. I'm truly honoured to able to join the club.

My name is Albert Wong. Call Comrade Cripple if you wish. As my name implies I'm a cripple. I suffer from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). If you guys one to know more check out this post on Maelstrom (my "personal" blog). If you already "know" me, I'm the disabled boy that scored straight As in the 2005 SPM. But that is that.

When American Supreme Court Judge candidates are chosen they are grilled by Congress about their views on American issues such as abortion before they can be appointed. There is no such grilling here but let me outline my philosophy. To me positivity should be a way of life. I also despise people who use hypocrisy, deceit or/and murder to achieve their goals. Sometimes outcomes can justify means. However, most of the time outcomes are just selfish. Here I am talking about politicians. My cynical point of view is politicians are pathological liars, every single one of them.

Now let's move on to my life. Currently I'm having holidays but shall be beginning my degree course in KDU in March. I'm going to study for a University of London degree in Law. It is going to take three years. I will become a lawyer I tell you all. My favourite TV shows are 24, Prison Break and Heroes. I download them through Bittorrent. I watch a couple of animes on Astro too. Anyway I have not read a single book till this day but I'm well read. That's all for now about myself.

Here at RANDTS I will post opinions and personal experiences. Comments are greatly welcomed. Send any request and questions by commenting on my posts or sending me an email.

May everyone have a long fruitful life!
Cheers!
Bye for now.

Wowie! I see everyone, well almost, have already contributed. Anyhoo, my turn, I'd say!

Starting off, me name's Siti 'Afifah. Call me CT, Tot, Beluncas aka Lunc and other nicknames that can be derived from my name is fine by me.

Anytheway, I'm from Ipoh. Currently trying (and hoping) to finish my Foundation in Arts by this April. But at this moment, I'm lounging at home, praying for my friends to return to Ipoh ASAP...which reminds me, anyone out there interested in going out, please, pleeeaaassseee give me a call.

I am a self - confessed night owl who is addicted to Westlife and practically obsessed with Mark Feehily (google him for more info. Haha) A bookworm. A universal music lover. A duck lover. Tech ignorant...

I live by one principle : "Behave like a duck. Keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like crazy underneath"...

So yeah, you won't really get to see me panic unless it's a major crisis such as losing my Student ID on the eve of my last paper (it happened...)

...And I love the name Acland.

Seriously. I do not know how to write this post. *laughs*

As opposed to other Randsters with their impeccable writing and creative introductions, I'm basically a nobody who loves to enjoy life as much as possible (though certain circumstances disallow that). Life's a routine these days, with nothing much but lectures, assignments, gossips, potholes and dilemmas to offer. Well, I'm being a realist for the time-being, so excuse the rather negative outlook on life itself.

The paramount objective of this particular post however, is to introduce myself to my fellow Randsters and readers, and not to rant on and on about the monotony of life thus far. If you're really interested in my rants and ramblings, which I don't think you do, just click here to find out. Yeah, that's the link to my blog. One could know me better that way.

So what is there to know about yours truly?

One.
I'm eighteen this Halloween.

Two.
I'm a Malaysian Chinese. Who speaks more English than Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese.

Three.
I'm not really a 'banana'. I do look like one, I guess.

Four.
I'm into art- photography, music, choral singing, theatre, fashion, food... (the list goes on)

Five.
I'm an avid blogger, reader, trouble-maker, teaser, amateur photographer, wannabe-singer, human hi-fi, and critic. Oh, some people say I'm a dramatic being from planet Pluto, or was it Mars?

Six.
I'm currently studying Cambridge A-Levels in Brickfields Asia College, Kuala Lumpur. I'm taking Economics, Law and Business Studies as subjects, and futsal and basketball as extra co-curricular activities. Haha, I haven't tried those sports before. It will be very different from swimming, netball and badminton, right?

Seven.
I'm chosen for National Service (second batch). I have second thoughts on going.

Eight.
I'm partially blind without my -600 'powered' glasses, or contact lenses.

Nine.
I'm good at procrastinating, lazing around and doing nothing.

Ten.
Well, I ran out of things to say, haha.


I know I'm lame.
Have fun blogging everyone!
Thanks Jared for the invite!


P.S. I suggest we add each other in MSN Messenger to establish stronger ties (My MSN's in my blogger's profile). And eventhough my name's Hui Wen, I prefer to label this post with 'huiwen7' instead. Seven rhymes with 'wen' in my case...

The Emperor protects! I am Captain Gabriel Angelos of the Blood Ravens Space Marine Chapter & I.....

OK, just kidding! The name's Calvyn Ee from Malaysia. I'm the little bro to the Mastermind of R.A.N.D.T.S. (most of you know who...) Maverick & I'm proud to say that this is my first in blogging, so please forgive me if anything I type here is wrong!

I'm a game freak, a helpful person, a mad scientist (in using my imagination) and someone who needs a heckload of pals through this! I'm also a human who's absolutely bored now. So all things considered, it's OK. ;-)

So look out world, here I come! (echoes..)

Now if you'll excuse me, I've matters to attend to, like purging some Cultists of Chaos. For the Emperor!

---> Innocence Proves Nothing

Hi, folks. I'm going to keep this as uncomplicated as I possibly can.

First up, the name's Khael. You can call me Khael. Don't matter to me how you pronounce it. Some call me Ka-el, some Ka-eel, some Kylie (?!), some... erm, I think you catch my drift. But really, as long as it sounds like a K, put together with a H-A-E and L, I'm OK with it.

See? I'm complicated, no?
Moving on......

I hail from the city of Ipoh, where I've lived for nearly 16 years. The other 3 years of my life were spent somewhere else. Long story...

I consider myself to be knowledgable in the field of football and nonsense. Yes. You read right. I consider myself an expert in nonsense. So, if you think you want to know about things you don't really want to know about, drop me a line.

Other things you should know about me is the fact that I am a mega-huge supporter of Man United and an ultra-massive fan of Keane. I also follow wrestling quite religiously, despite my physique being nowhere quite as impressive as theirs.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to exchanging our opinions here, despite me not knowing y'all personally, with the exception of Jared, Guo Zheng and Tim.

Cheers.

P.S. The title is intentionally French-ized. I have a habit of French-izing all my blog post titles, for reasons that I myself do not know...

[Left foot...right foot.. Clears throat. Stretches arms. *Ready to type* 3, 2, 1, GO....]

He-llo everyone... I'm Esther, currently studying in the SAM programme in Taylors UC. This is my first time participating in a group blog and I must admit it is pretty cool. I have been blogging for two years now and it is all because of Jared that I have a blog today! (and also in Project R.A.N.D.T.S.)

About me: I don't do so well with the first of everything- first post, first speech etc. Give me some time for me to adjust to this new environment. I am a curious person which drives me to do silly but yet educational things. For instance, have Jared to find out who invented the necktie and have him listen to my silly theories about 'If the world is flat,...' I love Korean music and stuff which other teenage girls like as well. Well, you'll know more about me later.

In other words, curious + loquacious + weird stuff + humour? + whacky = ME

I also hope that this blog would be well-known in the blogosphere. A blog which has the WOW power- that is to make people go WOW when they read this blog. Allow me to quote Jared, "Now, here we stand: one blog, many bloggers, and even more ideas."

So, what say you? Are you ready to rock this blog and make it the hottest one yet? I don't know about you guys but I am ready to give my all to this bloggie. *Whoo-hoohh Wheeee*

With this post, I mark my arrival in R.A.N.D.T.S. and a new beginning in my blogging experience. Some of you may know, I do not have a blog of my own (that explains why my name doesn't link to any blog), so to be honest I knew relatively nothing about blogging or whatsoever that has to do with it... In fact, the first I heard about the word "blog" was from one of our own... Miss Melanie Ng. I didn't even know what it meant at that time But after coming to UTP, Jared had this idea of having a group blog amongst our uni mates, that was what got me into this thing I guess.

*pauses and thinks while my roommate asks me to play DotA*

*long pause*

Anyways, I'm sorta trying to find my "groove" back (I kinda contracted this sickness called "writers' block", which is as common as flu these days), since I met with a few disappointments over the past few months... crippling my ability to write and dulling my passion for blogging even though it is very addictive. Hopefully, this new beginning will help me to be able to complete a freakin' post under 2 hours once again find that enthusiasm for blogging again.

Enough about my background and about me. I think it's really cool that we actually get to be in some form of a larger-scale collaboration with different people, beyond the boundaries of UTP and those whom I know. Ironically enough, we are all loosely linked together at the moment by 1 thing- we all know Jared a.k.a. Maverick. Come to think of it, personally I never thought that "crazy suggestion" I gave was going to become something I'm doing at the moment.

*turns on some music in an attempt to break the now silent atmosphere in the room*

I'm really looking forward to watching this new project develop. Who knows, we might even have "R.A.N.D.T.S." in lights in the near future... Even though it sounds a little crazy to suggest at the moment.. hehe.

Oh yeah, after all this I forgot... Where are my manners? A big "Hello!" to everyone I will be working with on this new project. The name is Josiah Tay... If it's too hard to pronounce, "Joe" will do just fine =)

*waves*

Yoroshiku, onegai-ishimasu.

Hi, hi, hi! Before I proceed, let me extend my heartiest welcome to all the Maestros and readers here to R.A.N.D.T.S.

For most of you, this must be a new experience for those who have not experienced what is it like to have a group blog. As a blogger who has experienced it before, I must admit that it has been a wonderful experience, being able to exchange views, keep myself up-to-date to what is happening around the world and perhaps even experience personal changes!

OK, something about me. I know that most of you know me, but just in case you don't, my name is Yew Guo Zheng, better known now as Henry Yew, especially in the university where I'm studying in now.

My name is Brian Woon. I'm a student in UTP taking chemical engineering. I call myself Gungrave1988 because I was sort of influenced by an anime & game with the same title "Gungrave" & I was born on 18 August 1988.......(Don't look at me! It's just a nickname i came out with. It's not my fault if it sounds bad)

*This is Brandon Heat from the anime "GunGrave"*

In the beginning, there was nothing but meaningless collections of randomly arranged bits and bytes, useless data that existed on a computer system somewhere in the world.

Then Maverick came and started the Project, metamorphosing data into information...
