So I'm taking up a new hobby, bodybuilding, starting with weight loss. There was no new entry yesterday because I hanged out late with my friend. The moment I arrived home, my body was so exhausted I couldn't move. And today I started the extreme diet plan, ate 4 cucumbers and drank 4 cups of whey protein. I don't even feel tired during work out but it's wearing me out at the moment. Hopefully I will stay sane enough to not messing up my spelling.
Juggernaut (n)
The word refers to any large force that cannot be stopped. Meet Juggernaut, the unstoppable mountainous guy in X-Men.
Grisly (adj)
It means causing a shudder or feeling of horror; horrible; gruesome. In Lineage II, grisly bear is an aggressive mob about level 24 which drops leather after using spoil skill.
Decimate (v)
The word's first definition is to destroy a great number or proportion of. In Mathematics, the prefix "deci" refers to ten which is the second definition given by the online dictionary, to select by lot and kill every tenth person of. In my understanding, it means to make the victims count from 1 to 10. When that unfortunate person calls out 10, he or she is exterminated, somewhat brutally.
Schadenfreude (n)
This word comes from German which literally translated to harm-joy. This may sound evil but I have always take joy in the suffering of others and that is what the word refers to.
Cackling (v): to utter a shrill, broken sound or cry, as in a hen.
Shrill (adj): high-pitched and piercing in sound quality.
Sardonic (adj): characterised by bitter or scornful derision
Scornful (adj): he smiles in a scornful way would mean a ridicule and mockery way
Derision (n): ridicule; mockery
Contemptuous (adj): showing or expressing disdain; disrespectful.
Bonus:
Amuck (adv)
This adverb comes from Malay which means to run about frenzied. When those Korean Pop idol first came to Viet Nam, their young and dangerous Vietnamese teen fans ran amuck through the airport.
This is one of the most disappointed entry ever. To make up for this disappointment I will discuss my new hypothesis here. At the moment, I'm taking beginner Japanese class every morning and it strikes me that a rigorous analysis of the class seat layout can reveal a lot about the people in the class. There are 3 columns and 7 rows of double table (so 2 people can sit together in one table). My main hypothesis is, when people first came in, assume they did not know each other, they would choose to sit by themselves. Let's also assume that people who came in first are more motivated and responsible for their study, so they would acquire better understanding and develop their Japanese more rapidly. Therefore, at least for the first 4 rows, the table will consist of a person who is likely to be good in the class. The conclusion is, if you are not quite sure about your ability, take the very front seats since there will always be people, who are confident and intelligent and will not beg the questions that you ask, take those front seats.
This is only the hypothesis since I have only verified this with my Japanese class. It holds true but only up to the first 4 rows.
