"If you still think about it, let me know."

so here we are AGAIN

2009-07-06T18:53:00.003+08:00

I was actually doing my essay last night but then people HAD TO play Devil May Cry and make a huge fuss about Beowulf and dodging and it got me real intrigued.
So here I am, whining and emphasising on the AGAIN in BP's lyrics because all this is inevitable. Bah.

ass bee see ass

Someone has to disable the internet connection before I get any work done.
WILL SLEEP BEFORE 1 ON MONDAY WILL WILL WILL the flesh (and fats) is willing but the mind is weak.

As expected people were shocked/entertained by my hair. I'd have blushed from all the attention if my face wasn't red already (see: stress indicator. see also: history essay).
Zixuan kept saying "Julia Flyte" (Zixuan if you're reading this YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING STOP MUGGING.) and people were "WHO THE HELL IS JULIA??????? WHAT'S THE FUCKING LINK?"
FYI Julia has short hair. That's all. Embarrassing yes.

In shorts:
LA Lecture: about the development of killer robots
Assembly period: about the tragic love story between me and my favourite seat in class

the attention-seeking exhibitionist/whore whines:

Holidays end so fast but holiday hw lasts forever.
Everything has expiry dates except liability clauses like me.
I want a war I want an epidemic I want the whole world to burn.
I have only about 5 more episodes of TSCC S2 to go (I’m sorry Karis and Shimei but TEMPTATION!!!!!!!).
Michael Jackson is finally more ubiquitous than Obama, but musical genius? King of pop?? Whoa, really??? But does he post YouTube videos of himself where he's topless and swear at his phone really loudly and then give this really awkward and adorable smile because if he doesn’t I’m really not interested at all. The living radiates more heat.

in order of importance

2009-06-19T13:56:00.002+08:00

1. In a failed attempt to be more like Julia Flyte, I have chopped off my hair and now I look like a siao zha bo(o)r.

2. Homework comes in number 2 on this list; quoting my sister: "WE'RE BACK IN REALITY." Oh, what a cruel world!!!!!!! I packed a pile of history notes to Jakarta but instead of reading them I indulged myself in Brideshead but Charles Ryder kept mentioning "the war" and Hitler and Chamberlain.

3. I CANNOT STAND PEOPLE WHO SLEEP OBSCENELY ON MY BED.

4. MOE please extend the holidays please please please.

5. I am unhealthy now. People should stop saying I'm thin because #1 I'm not and #2 it makes me want to eat more. Is there a conspiracy about to make me fat????

6. I have been rendered wireless (read: did not fondle any computers) for a week and now I am What the hell, "One More Chance"?????????-ing.

7. I missed Leverage and House. I hate catching up by watching reruns or by watching low quality clips on the net.

8. Despite the dominance of Miley Cyrus and Co. on Disney Channel, I still fucking adore it, I mean, TREASURE PLANET? The one with Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Made my Sunday so much better after a Chinese sermon which my sister and I agreed was quite shitty.
Which is not for us to say, but it is just about the only one I do not regret sleeping through.

9. Insipid love songs are insipid and all about self-love.

a.k.a. the whyamIborninSingaporeWHYWHYWHYAMIBORNINSINGAPORE list.
Am only doing Glasto because I am too lazy to even whine.
(see the complete list of upsetting and depressing band names here)
Pyramid Stage + Other Stage + John Peel Stage + The Park = DEPRESSING.

Blur. HOW CAN THEY HAVE BLUR???? WHY DO SPLIT BANDS REFORM IN MY TIME BUT I NEVER HAVE THE MONEY/OPPPORTUNITY HMMMM???
And why is the lineup for the Other Stage choked full with so many many awesome people???

Anyway the last few days were so unproductive I feel like giving people the permission to slap myself.
XIAOWEI FINISHED HCL D:

last night i nearly died (but i woke up just in time)

2009-05-17T13:57:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, like what Cassandra said, I embarrassed myself once every 3 minutes. And at the end of the night I topped off with the stupidest fuckshit in 2 years.
(Probably why my history is not getting an A?)
And Karis was fucking awesome last night. I’m not supposed to swear but only “fucking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!” does her justice. She ran up and down with me and we burned calories together YAY YAY YAY!!! Or something like that.

I guess miracles are mysterious and fuck me if I'm wrong, but this would be the third and the last time!!!! D: OH LORD, please be kind and merciful?

SE concert: Yihui and her phone; Tesia and her photo; can’t remember anything else. Anyway 158 is greatest bitchfucker of all buses in the world. I’ll stick to 30 from now on thank you very much for wasting my time and money.

accomplishment

2009-05-11T18:07:00.003+08:00

I DELETED MY FAVOURITES. Not everything though. Kept the ones that are essential to my survival. Anyway the list is now neater and shorter and smaller. MWAHAHAHAHA I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED.

need need need

2009-05-09T18:41:00.003+08:00

I need to watch Star Trek. Dear original fans, no worries, I'm not jumping on your bandwagon(s?? seeing how long the series is) but am only watching because Winona Ryder is in it (small role, yes, but she's still plenty of awesome) and it actually looks good.
Especially when you hold it against Wolverine.
But then again, "Being better than wolverine isn't exactly high praise".
But then again, time travelling WOOHOO even though I'd probably end up lost.

it was so like you to (so like you)

2009-05-08T21:28:00.002+08:00

1. Do you know: your legacy is corrupted now?
2. Do you know: being naked and baring everything is painful?
3. Do I know: complexities and inconsistencies??? I don't know what to say.
4. Wikipedia is my best friend.

2009-05-02T17:25:00.003+08:00

From an email I sent to Nobo a long time ago:
"i have spent my years doing shit but i enjoyed it. it was fun. i met a lot of cool people. i don't mind doing it again, and i really really don't regret anything."

Actually I do regret a lot but I just don't have the guts/enough mind power to face it/change things hmmmm.
Last April 27th I was whining like a bitch, this year was slightly better I guess.

Beauty Tips by Audrey Hepburn
-
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.
Remember: if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

now my day is complete

2009-05-01T19:44:00.004+08:00

"Peaches and Daisy Geldof are one of the biggest jokes here in the UK. Reviled throughout the land, no talent no-brainers from famous parents and tabloid fodder.
Please please please keep them over there with you, we’d be so grateful. Come on we supported you in Iraq, Afghanistan, with the IMF, you owe us one. A great big one, or two."

and this:

"The only one I like of these totally not interesting celebrity wannabes with no personality is Ash."

Because his tattoos are just bloody awe-some YES YES YES?????

shame on me (yes I don't have a life)

2009-04-30T22:26:00.003+08:00

've been sitting in front of the computer for almost 12 hours and I've watched and read and surfed and ate tons of stupid stuff but listening to Daniel doesn't get old.
And waiting for HIMYM to load is irritating; one episode is around 22 minutes and I have to wait for 2 hours plus.

2009-04-29T19:33:00.004+08:00

1. Robin Sparkles is my new favourite popstar!!!!!!!!! Let's Go To The Mall is staying in my head since Monday. It's practically "LEGEN wait for it and I hope you are not lactose intolerant because the next word is DAIRY".

2. History test was fucked. Mr. T: "Write FAST and FURIOUS". My handwriting looks like black wriggly shit when I write fast and furious, tick tick tick. Dude next time I study history I'll play Tokyo Drift. "FAST AND FEWWEEYAHS!!!"

3. STRING ENSEMBLE RECEIVED GOLD WITH HONOURS :D

4. V Channel owns MTV Asia's ass so badly ever since they played Bat For Lashes' Daniel. And PJ Harvey! And everything MTV doesn't play.

5. I think fat kids who flap their arms while running after bus 197 and shouting "BUS DRIVEEEEERR!!" are fucking adorable.

6. I seriously foresee myself sweeping the streets. Or at least, a dental clinic.

2009-04-26T17:11:00.002+08:00

Guilty guilty guilty:
1. didn't do any work at all
2. saving damn much of those copyrighted pictures. And music.
3. sometimes I feel like a creepy Internet stalker
4. I am intolerant of intolerance towards intolerance. The way I see it Miss California was just being honest and those bigots should shut up.
5. being envious of the lineup for the 2009 Cannes Film Festival: BRIGHT STAR and INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS and TAKING WOODSTOCK are competing holy fuck this is unfair.

2009-04-22T23:25:00.003+08:00

Listening to Placebo and enjoying the wonderful breeze at the same time is a TERRIBLE combination because it's so distracting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-04-22T23:10:00.003+08:00

History essays will be the death of me; right now I'm typing out my draft for the actual essay with all the terrifying English and unnecessary words like TADAH!! and HAHAHAHA included and listening to TV On The Radio and being amazed at the amount of history notes.
History ain't that bad it's fun and challenging but so time-consuming. I bet I'm sleeping at 3 again tomorrow because I've spent the last few days uploading music and pictures online in case the computer crashes (again).
On days like this only the fact that I'm incurring the wrath and jealousy of many by not going for level camp makes it better (MWAHAHAHAHAHA).

And, my sister got me a brownie from Bakerzin; fattening and sweet but I guess Ben&Jerry's worse :D

Should I even go get a ticket when _____ comes Singapore?? Wouldn't it be better if I start saving up money now for a trip to Japan and its awesome music festivals so I can see _____ and at the same time eat good takoyaki????
Why am I even so worked up about this; is Mediacorp and its fuckery supposed to affect me so much???? Am I supposed to get possessive over people who don't even know me?
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck even 'fuck' no longer fully express my anxiety/rabidness/anger/depression now :'(
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH fuck lah fuck lah fuck lah there's so much work this week and there's History essay test next week wa lau eh I'm so worked up I'm typing Singlish and swearing like a Tim Johnson (ok this comparison is getting stale).

fuck mediacorp

2009-04-21T19:35:00.004+08:00

If people say they like to listen to a certain band that doesn't mean that they really get obsessed/fangirly over the band RIGHT??????
E.g. "I like floppy hair and stuffed toys and video games and shy people who are quite positively gay but I still like them anyway because _______ is just like that :D" or "I WANT TO HAVE A PENIS BECAUSE _______ HAS ONE!!!" etc.
And only people who act like that are the real fans even though they are potential psychopaths in the making (or just people with a serious case of OCD) because they do not just say that they like a band just to name-drop it and give themselves instant indie cred RIGHT???????
D:

I have this terrible snooty/snobbish tendency to start disliking a band once I figured out how much more other Singaporeans like them well yes it's terrible and superficial but there's always this exception to this certain band BUT NOW FUCK YOU MEDIACORP IF IF IF _____ EVER COME TO SINGAPORE AND I HAVE TO QUEUE FOR A LONG TIME TO GET MY TICKET IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU SUPERFICIAL UNCLEFUCKING-ASSHOLES WHO NAMEDROP BANDS ON PURPOSE etc etc etc.

Fuck.

Harlan Ellison ruined my appetite.

2009-04-18T21:37:00.003+08:00

1.
Mom told us today that we'd probably be going Jakarta during June.
Me: "I want to study let me stay in Singapore."
Sister: "You can bring your stuff there to study."
Me: "I might have projects and essays to write."
Sister: "I'll bring my laptop there."
Me: "...that's not a bad idea..."
Sister: "OH and they have a lot of new malls there."
When my brother knew that my sister's bf was going along,
"Is he bringing his laptop?"
I hope he dl-ed my movies HAHAHAHA.

2.
We should do that 2.4km run weekly so as to allow the health-conscious to have the opportunity to maintain their figure (and the people lacking a figure to attain one) because they end up eating a lot during the weekends.

3.
I like saybon's nutella crepes!!!

4.
I like Chewy Jr.!!!

5.
I like dipping my raisin bread into Daisy milk!!!

6.
I cannot stop eating once I get started. !!!!!!!!!

7.
I like pretentious movies like Gigantic . Or at least, its cast.

one big and intense sigh

2009-04-15T20:27:00.002+08:00

From 7/16/07:
"Somethings are better off unwritten. Like how Joanne and Glen and I failed 2.4km again. Today. Horray! "

From 7/26/07:
"Oh, IDMI today was kind of embarrassing. Apparently, my group is the slackest.
Our presentation was rough, skipped alot like a lousy record, and yes, Joanne kicked asses. Again.
Her proposal covered all loopholes that are present in others, and all questions posed to her were answered in a second.
Sherwin had asked Cas to pose her question to Amy, 'cause apparently, "Amy doesn't know anything." Dittodittodittoditto."

The sigh is for both the terrible English and the year 2007.

2009-04-15T20:04:00.003+08:00

1. Used to believe in a lot more.

2. Am starting to change like you.

3. You think like everyone else.

4. May one day decide to shit in your fa(r)ce.

5. Stop letting social norms define you.

6. sijwtsyrrhbtirtiac.

7. Now try and interpret #6. If you can't you should stop reading too much into everything.

8. Happy birthday. It feels so wonderful to forgive you.

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT GIVE ME BACK MY WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER 8.5.

some list this is

2009-04-09T22:17:00.002+08:00

Somebody is getting real creepy this week (that same person doesn't sing Radiohead, fortunately); somebody finds somebody on some days; somebody finds some things on rainy days; somebody, namely Xiaowei, wrote that homework is the most important thing in the world; somebody, namely me, has been eating a lot; somebody, once again, me, finds True Blood riveting! engaging! finally! agoodvampirestory!; somebody, again, me, has terrible English (Your English Is Good is just a song in my head); etc.

2009-04-08T20:33:00.002+08:00

The MBTI results which were showed today were fucking bull. Boo boo boo.
Chose lithium for metals assignment and luck dictates that it has got something to do with psychiatric medication. Thank you Ken Kesey; thank you for showing the real bull of psychiatry.

Funny thing: I used to believe that psychiatry was interesting ever since having read that Artemis Fowl wanted to be one.

Lucky thing (which sadly didn't happen to me): Miao met her favourite boy on earth.

go censor yourself

2009-04-07T20:11:00.005+08:00

I mean, seriously.

you have your letters, i have my lists

2009-04-04T18:00:00.003+08:00

1. "the letters of Samuel Beckett".
2. "one flew over the cuckoo's nest": the many references to Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg in Robert Faggen's introduction are soooooooo awesome because they are all related to Ben Whishaw in a way HAHAHAHAHA.
3. "the dark volume": ANYONE WANTS TO GO PS SOON? We can eat crepes :D
4. If I get an A for the Bio test I will go get lots of macaronsssss.
5. Am no longer an INTP :(
6. Finds Brain Thrust Mystery wonderful.
7. Seriously wants to watch Killshot.

in a particular order which you can't make out

2009-03-29T17:57:00.002+08:00

1. Some things are better left written as bedtime stories (the kind you fall asleep to).

2. I finished LA on Wednesday and got 2 ++ hours of sleep.

3. Sleeping at 3AM will NEVER happen again esp. when there's school the next day.

4. Stop carving () feckless theories everywhere.

5. Somehow Trigo test was better than Bio though I managed to fuck both up.

6. Regarding all the food issues: I have had 2 macarons in 3 days and a whole lot of Chewy Jr. and trans fats. Thinks Bakerzin has awesome (and expensive) macarons. Didn't get to go Carl's Jr. in the end (sorry Miao) but Jamela and I had Jap curry :)

7. Needs more time for sleep and hw and TV.

8. During sermon: old guy who looks like a friendly dinosaur; Harry & His Bucketful of Dinosaurs; Patrick Wolf and his new video; Bloc Party and the Signs remix video; etc.

9. Just the other day Yihui said that she thinks gays are hot. FUCK YES YES YES YES HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

2009-03-24T20:10:00.002+08:00

"Actually, littering saves the environment. If you throw away things into a rubbish bin, they get incinerated in Singapore which pollutes the air. A piece of rubbish on the ground is more beneficial to the environment if it is lying on the roadside instead of being reduced to floating ash. Throwing away your litter properly is for your environment's hygiene sake and not the general environment. Don't confuse the two."

Here.

Of course I still remember that LA's due tomorrow but that blog's so fucking awesome I can't stop reading.

2009-03-23T21:54:00.001+08:00

I make a shocking breakthrough tonight – 140 words for LA PW. I’ve spent (not wasted) my evening on the TV and on reading movie reviews, and currently I’m doing this. Well yes I’m dedicated to whining and my attention span is fucking limited but !!! WHERE’S MIAOMIAO she gave me so much hope last night D: After today’s assembly I am absolutely certain I will spend my life sweeping the roads while listening to illegal downloads.

I think that’s quite a wonderful life.

2009-03-22T17:37:00.002+08:00

Throughout the service I kept thinking of:
how pretty velvet looks with brown
and with the things you (can) own
walking with the Holy Spirit? I thought of Clinic's Walking With Thee.
and I thought of LA PW and I thought of: is it possible to shit out 1200 words in one night?
how fucked my hypothalamus is because I feel like eating non-stop
especially macarons.
and I thought of rotten insides because that's in line with the sermon today and also Clare Wigfall's stories.

And instead of using my spare time to read the bio tb, I played with some visual/tactile illusions online and it fucked my eyes up so badly.

2009-03-21T21:42:00.002+08:00

1. I should stop eating so much fats fuck my mouth.
2. I should stop making all these lists.
3. I should stop doing this and do my yan jiang ci and maybe LA.
4. Killshot: "Beautiful Carmen Colson and her ironworker husband Wayne are placed in the Federal Witness Protection program after witnessing an "incident". Thinking they are at last safe, they are targeted by an experienced hit man and a psychopathic young upstart killer. The ensuing struggle will test Carmen to the limit."
I should stop smiling like mad every time I read the bold line, but I can't help it; Richie Nix sounds so wonderful (he's a GOOD-looking psychopath yo) and has awesome hair!!!!!!!!!! Which still doesn't make sense, nor is awesome hair a redeeming trait for highly dangerous criminals but blah blah blah I will do my homework now.

go read your own blog

"The road was so dimly lighted;
There were no highway signs to guide;
But they made up their minds
If all roads were blind,
They wouldn't give up till they died.

The road gets dimmer and dimmer;
Sometimes you can hardly see;
But it's fight, man to man,
And do all you can,
For they know they can never be free.

From heart-break some people have suffered;
From weariness some people have died;
But take it all in all,
Our troubles are small
Till we get like Bonnie and Clyde."

Homework is a small problem (ok not really), high cholesterol level is a small problem, addiction to saturated/trans fats is a small problem, Hilary Duff as Bonnie Parker? TRAVESTY.

2009-03-15T15:35:00.005+08:00

1.
I thought Push was okay and don't really understand the negative reviews. It gets confusing in the end but it makes you think and the cinematography and music were good. Basically it's the Jumper of 2009 and it deserves a sequel.
Zixuan was super stoked about Transformers but I don't get it. HELLO!!!!
Christian Bale is JOHN CONNOR. Need I say more??
(Shimei YOU BETTER REMEMBER WHAT YOU PROMISED ME)

2.
Don't get the negative reviews about Watchmen either. It looks much more faithful to the comics than V For Vendetta even though I have yet to watch/read Watchmen. Plus Matthew Goode's excellently casted into the role of Ozymandias and the typography looks pretty but maybe it's just me.

3.
Jamela passed History test!!! I FORESEE A CARL'S JR. DRINK.

4.
Empty pews will remain empty for quite some time I guess. A few years?

5.
I finally overcame my laziness and changed the blog skin. Apparently Miao Miao is very shocked hahahaha.

6.
Miley Cyrus listens to Radiohead??? Who would have known.

7.
It's ridiculous to call the March holidays a holiday because it's only a week long and the amount of homework they give is practically the amount of shit I excrete in a month.

true little thoughts

2009-03-08T17:00:00.007+08:00

1. "I can't focus my attention." Should probably stop singing Katy Perry in my head while playing the piano.

2. The average Singaporean has terrible manners and is too self-conscious and has too much self-interest etc.

3. Should probably stop giving people nicknames, even though I don't say them aloud and only call them that way in my head. Still, it's extremely rude because if your name's T. I shouldn't call you A. because it makes no sense.
And if I don’t know your name I should just smile and shake hands and say “Hello what’s your name? Oh, Peter? That’s a fine name.” Even though it would seem fake and patronising but it’s a good dream RIGHT???

4. Whoa your chin is so cleanly shaven; please, let me offer my congratulations!!! Now stop rubbing it because it's distracting and annoying.

5. "She's very what." Huh WHAT. I'm anti-social, I'm emo, I'm cold and unfeeling, or WHAT. And FYI I don't even know you that well so what's with the weird comments.

(You can redeem yourself by sending me the ______ though hahaha! NOT KIDDING.)

6. WHO TOOK THE ONLY COPY OF August AT BORDERS?????? I doubt you even love Janus Jones as much as I do so why did you buy it :(

And the Twilight fandom is getting fucking ridiculous. What's with the Edward Cullen figurine and the Robert Pattinson book?? "True love never dies" what the fuck.
The magazine rack is rearranged and people interested in men's magazines can have the seats to themselves YAY. I shall read my magazines at Kinokuniya from now on.

And yes,
happy birthday Karis Ong!!!

vicious cycle of extreme fuckery

I'd listen to the words he'd say
but in his voice I heard decay
the plastic face forced to portray
all the insides left cold and gray
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay
the day the whole world went away.

(500) Days of Summer

2009-03-01T14:57:00.000+08:00

JGL actually dances!!

2009-03-01T14:45:00.000+08:00

I need catharsis fuck the history source-based case study and ACE.

What happened on Friday was that Shimei and I embarrassed ourselves at the LotR game and people kept saying it looked a lot like Dynasty Warriors and a couple of guys were standing behind laughing their stupid asses off when my warrior gets killed (Fuck you – yes we’re noobs but we finished the campaign).

And then we sat at Geláre and watched movie trailers. Coming Soon was outstandingly stupid because the ghost actually conjured up a spotlight to shine on itself and then proceeds to switch off the lights in the corridor in a fucking melodramatic manner. Is it just me or are the media constantly reminding us that dead people actually accomplish much more than the living??? The late Heath Ledger wins an Academy Award and now ghosts are so adept at doing theatrical lightings. And then we saw the trailer of Killshot. Holy fuck, it has Joseph-Gordon Levitt as a psycho with awesome bed hair IS ANYONE INTERESTED TO WATCH THIS WITH ME?? And then I went home and couldn’t stop watching the trailer of (500) Days of Summer.

Ok good that was cathartic I SHALL NOW ATTEMPT TO DO MY WORK.

of movies and trailers

2009-02-20T19:21:00.004+08:00

1.
The trailer of Inglourious Basterds (hi Cassandra apparently the movie is spelt this way. We were wrong hahaha) is badass on so many levels, like: Brad Pitt and that accent. And those soldiers who looked like they were struggling really hard not to laugh at him.
And then HITLER. And his "NEIN NEIN NEIN".
And well, we're going to get to watch how Nazis' asses are going to get kicked American style, with the music and the LET'S-GIVE-THEM-FUCKING-HELL attitude.
Awesome.

2.
Watchmen trailer is still as addicting as ever. CAN'T WAIT FOR MARCH.

3.
Bright Star.
Thomas Sangster and Olly Alexander and BEN WHISHAW and John Keats.

2009-02-19T22:20:00.007+08:00

I only watched Perfume for like what? 3 minutes? Then BEN WHISHAW came in and I'm now fucking hysterical and I haven't even heard of this guy before.
But holy fucking fucking fucking fuck,
IS HE A FUCKINGLY FUCKING AWESOME, AND FUCKING ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ACTOR OR WHAT?????
IT ONLY TOOK HIM 2 MINUTES TO STEAL THE WHOLE FUCKING SHOW AND MAKE ME EXCLAIM "SIR YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME!!"

Seriously.
BEN WHISHAW = 100000000000000 moles of Ben Barnes.
(And I only just realised both are Ben's.)
OH YESSSSS I'M FICKLE LIKE THIS BUT BEN WHISHAW?????
TOO FUCKING AWESOME.

Er and yes, I'm slow because I only just watched bits of the movie on Star Movies.

lethargic

2009-02-18T11:21:00.002+08:00

I missed school today, missed the Chem test (people tell me it's easy), which was good because my revision was only 1 hour long, but also bad because I hate missing classes and having to waste more time reading up on the shit they do in class.

Why oh why oh why oh why???

My body feels like it's going to crumble anytime soon even after 12 hours of sleep, and throughout the night I kept thinking of homeostasis like some ex-lover who died. Oh dear homeostasis WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

Right now I should be revising for the test and tingxie but I forgot to bring the damn Chinese textbook back.

People please tell me the test was alright and not fucking challenging or anything.

ghouls

2009-02-14T14:48:00.004+08:00

Thank you all you kind people who gave me candy/chocolates yesterday (you know who you are) so my pancreas won't be bored to death :)
And also thanks to Shimei and Yihui I crossed out #4 on my to-do list:

I know it's not the greatest movie, I know it has its faults (Daniel Craig I'm looking at you and your inconsistent accents), but still it's so BRILLIANT.
Not only did Jamie Bell and Mia Wasikowska get together onscreen, their characters got fucking married. The score ain't that bad either.
And also, Liev Schreiber. Fucking awesome.

Russian dude: You related to Bielski?

Liev/Zus: I am Bielski.

And the whole Jews-are-human-too-and-can-be-as-cruel-as-Germans was so "I can be as cruel as you/Fighting fire with firewood".

dear corpses

2009-02-10T21:15:00.002+08:00

Fuck you Austria-Hungary why kick up such a big fuss over the ultimatum; Serbia agreed to almost everything anyway and Willy and Nicky, how much more pussy-ish can you two get? Willy and Nicky, ha ha ha; how about pussy and wussy? If you pussies could have solve your problems I won't have to lose sleep writing an essay.

to-do list:

2009-02-10T19:51:00.002+08:00

1. The horrendously fucked History essay
2. Read History notes
3. Understand History notes
4. Watch Defiance and feel happy that we've yet to do WWII.

2009-02-09T18:27:00.000+08:00

about the christian bale rant

2009-02-07T16:04:00.002+08:00

1. Movie should be made R-rated, because "if he can say fuck 35 times in a fit, he should at least get to use it a couple times in the movie."

2. When Terminator Salvation comes out on DVD/blu-ray, the rant ought to be released as an extra.

3. If Cameron were the director he would have either 1)kicked Bale's ass or 2)yell at Hurlbut with him.

IMO Christian Bale has just gotten hotter hahaha.

I WANT TO WATCH DEFIANCE

2009-02-07T12:13:00.002+08:00

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it's only showing at Cathay YES YES GOOD FOR YOU CATHAY!
Push is coming out in March, whoa whoa whoa.
My dear 2009, you may be killing me with the amount of assignments and Trigo III and the lack of time to use the computer and the tempting/fattening food and etc.
BUT the awesome movies make up for everything hahaha.

2009-01-28T18:42:00.002+08:00

Writing the history article review IS AS HARD AS FUCKING AN ELEPHANT'S TRUNK.

2009-01-26T23:11:00.004+08:00

... I realised I need to drink more water because my saliva is coagulating and now my spit takes about 18 seconds to hit the sink when it used to only take about 6 seconds.
... currently I feel like watching The Twilight Zone after reading summaries of the episodes on Wiki even the font for the show is ugly/scary like the font they use on the old sci-fi books. And even though some of the episodes are disturbing.
... I realised my cousin has Leo Tolstoy so if I ever feel like committing suicide I can borrow her Anna Karenina.
... there's a lot of homework.

2009-01-26T22:57:00.003+08:00

CHINESE NEW YEAR IS FUCKING BORING AND THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ON THE TV and I read Wikipedia to pass the time :(
Was watching American Idol with family last night and WHOA WHOA WHOA some COOL dude named Ryan sang Aretha Franklin

why this week had been awesome

2009-01-23T19:10:00.002+08:00

1. Inauguration ceremony. It's Mr. Obama now which means that Joseph-Gordon Levitt is extremely pleased about it which means fangirls (like me) are happy too.
2. Someone turns 29.
3. I failed at channelling this certain vibe. Which is awesome, because there are some legacies which just can't be passed on. And because the original is always better.
4. Trigo is fun to do but annoying when I can't prove anything.
5. Isabella's present, Joanna's magazine about the vag diaries hahaha, Yihui and her sneaky looks at Zixuan HAHAHA, and Karis' comment about Mr. Obama's trademark grin.
6. The school canteen and the food and the weird people there.

AND IT'S THE CNY HOLIDAYS HOW CAN ALL THESE NOT BE AWESOME?

i'm no homophobic but

2009-01-23T18:34:00.007+08:00

Is it just me or do most gays look alike???
It's like they have this signature look you can recognise. I think it's the hair or maybe it's the nose...
Anyway thanks to the economic crisis there's a huge possibility level camp is going to be in Singapore/school. Somebody desperately wants me to rewrite the list huh.

And here's good old Barry:

And Aretha Franklin performed at the inauguration or something. WHY SO AWESOME???
And yes I'm regretting I gave up watching the historic (and slightly awkward) inauguration for sleeping.

reasons why i should not go for level camp

2009-01-10T17:50:00.002+08:00

Not restricting to just the top 10, because I’m in the middle of procrastinating the essay writing:
1. I have eczema.
2. And it’s serious.
3. I may get to stay in the library and do stupid stuff if they follow what they did in 2007.
4. And get to read Time magazine/Newsweek/Reader’s Digest since I don’t subscribe to any of those.
5. And the library would be new. And cold.
6. And conductive for revising Year 3/4 stuff
7. E.g. math
8. Chemistry
9. History
10. Biology
11. And etc.
12. And I’ll have time to complete late assignments (which I’m sure I’d accumulate by that time)
13. There’ll be leeches at the camp.
14. And a lot of sun.
15. And we won’t be staying in hotels/resorts.
16. My family might miss me.
17. While I’ll miss the internet.
18. It’s an ADVENTURE camp. How pretentious.
19. McDonald’s breakfast.
20. Get to enjoy Singapore efficient sewage system while the others have to dig their own cesspits (I think?)

little joy's a joy to listen to

2009-01-03T12:52:00.002+08:00

One too many goals
That measure out your worth
To seek your weight in gold

Lyrics of The Next Time Around.
It's only one song but it already seems to me the whole album would be terribly good.
And the lyrics remind me of new year resolutions.

awkwardness

2009-01-02T19:06:00.003+08:00

New campus is big, VERY BIG, and they have air-conditioning in the hall.
The classroom is on the 5th floor, and we took the lift down for lunch.
And got caught at 4th floor.
CANTEEN LOOKS BIG. There's a Korean food stall.
Toilets are narrow and smelly.
Made awkward attempts at conversations.
MRS TAN BEE KEE IS NOT TEACHING US HISTORY ANYMORE.
Her teaching methods are somewhat questionable but she's funny/cute/allows Zixuan to sing songs in the class while people are doing presentations YES IT SOUNDS FUN DOESN'T IT/has nice videos.
AND WE DON'T HAVE MDM ILYANA ANYMORE. Only she would give such flexible deadlines.
The year ahead looks pretty bleak now.
At least Bio's the same YAY HAHAHAHAHA.

Bus 30 is a very awkward place to be.

2008-12-27T15:51:00.003+08:00

Someone, PLEASE, tell me you'd watch this with me.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. It has Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and David Fincher's the director so the acting and directing should be awesome and it's PG and it's already been nominated for awards and it's coming out next February. Defiance is coming out in Feb too.

And Watchmen is coming out in March.

This is the last Saturday of 2008 and next week would be 2009. !!!
I CAN'T WAIT.

this is a ramble

2008-12-26T16:44:00.003+08:00

You'd think a sermon on Christmas would be about how great Jesus Christ is/how wonderful His love is/how we should all thank Him for His birth and His sacrifice/how we should understand that Christmas is about Jesus and not commercialisation and food etc but heck. Yesterday's sermon was about YOU ARE GOING TO HELL DARLING. WELL YEAH YOU ARE A CHURCH GO-ER BUT YOU TREAT JESUS LIKE YOUR FREE PASSPORT TO HEAVEN TOO BAD YOU ARE GOING TO HELL AND ROT THERE FOR ETERNITIES rephrase all that and repeat again. How baptism can't save my soul. How I am doomed doomed doomed. I can't remember the "unless you..." part though.
Anyway I stopped listening and imagined hell as where I could talk with all the rock stars and the homosexuals and ask them their life stories and then we could all wallow in our self-pity while demons pluck out our blood vessels and suck our blood etc. And then Lucifer would walk by and laugh his ass and his horns off at us. Er maybe Lucifer won't have horns I mean he used to be an angel for all you know he'd look like one of those hot male models and er...only the demons would have horns. Horny demons. OK then er. I would start saying "drunk on schadenfreude" again and again and then Lucifer would ask me "What the hell is that you're saying you pathetic dying bitch and by the way your German sucks" and I'd say "Bloc Party lyrics hey do you know if they're around here". And then he'd check his list and say "Yeah round that corner you can walk there if you can" and then I'd crawl because someone has eaten my legs and my fingernails will turn all bloody but I'd reach there eventually AND THEN I'D MAKE RUSSELL LISSACK PLAY THE GUITAR YAY.

YAY. I wish. So in the end I found myself adoring this boy named Timothy who was sitting right next to me with his mom and he was crying his eyes out. AW.
And then Tesia messaged me right in the middle of the sermon. I think she wanted to check if I was sleeping or something.

ANYWAY, I came to realise that a good drummer is good for making bad music sounds more bearable. And by good I mean someone who can make any sort of bad music sounds good.

AND SCHOOL IS STARTING NEXT WEEK.
I haven't finished homework, but I decided that people who spent their holiday doing it are pathetic losers who don't have anything better to do.

a great big sled

2008-12-25T00:00:00.000+08:00

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna relearn what I already know
Just let me take flight
Dressed in red through the night on a great big sled
I wanna wish you Merry Christmas.

By The Killers.

2008-12-23T18:55:00.002+08:00

This holiday is fucking terribly AWKWARD (especially the recent weeks) and the homework doing is very slow.
Seriously how did people like Tesia and Zixuan finish all that shit ARE THEY HUMAN OR ARE THEY DANCERS???
AXN has been having this 2-hour Chuck mini-marathon thing-y (pardon the bad English) HOLY CRAAAAAAAAP it makes me so happy and helped relieve all the stress from the homework THANK YOU AXN.
And seriously, if Y: The Last Man ever get made into a movie please Mr. Director, take Zachary Levi he is GOOD.
And the Sister has been watching Iljimae and now that she'd finished the show she spoilered me: "A LOT OF PEOPLE DIE".
THANKS. And I was just thinking the other day that I might want to watch it when I have the time.
That is, when I finish Akita no Kita Yoshio and many many other shit.
Before the holiday started all I wanted to watch was T:SCC and Chuck and Skins and House and now the list can't stop growing.

Seriously Cassandra. I have Snow Patrol's A Hundred Million Suns and I can send you if you want.
Oh yes. Cassandra watched Yes Man and there's Helicopter in it.

2008-12-18T18:22:00.001+08:00

Hell, and Kele Okereke's coming to Singapore. Band not included though.
HUH WHAT THE HELL WHY IS IT THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE ARE SO MANY NICE PEOPLE FLOCKING HERE?

2008-12-18T18:12:00.002+08:00

The Ting Tings are coming to Singapore whoa whoa whoa.
I'm still in shock and I don't know what to say.
Will the gig be so loud so that all I have to do is to hang around Fort Canning to hear them play instead of going through the trouble of getting my miserable self a ticket?
It's on 13 Jan though.

2008-12-16T22:51:00.002+08:00

One more reason why Bloc Party is my favourite band.

And this trailer is the prettiest one I have seen in a long time:

Fuck holiday homework argHGKSDhsd.

2008-12-12T17:19:00.002+08:00

Apparently there's been some lyric debate over Human by The Killers: "Are we human or are we dancers" or "Are we human or are we denser".
Well I know which is correct, but don't we all prefer the latter and not the reference to some Hunter S. Thompson quote.

And if any of you understand how long it takes one to upload just one stupid (but nice) song, please take this:
Dancing In A Minefield - Plushgun (link)

Because it's nearing Christmas and because I feel like sharing. And please don't call the cops before you take it, thanks.

2008-12-08T15:53:00.002+08:00

This is how shitty Google translator is:

Laughs now is the fullness of the heart.

What the fuck? I understand that it's imperfect, but still. I can get more information from reading the Japanese characters than by reading random English words.
Which kind of reminds me of Sarah Palin:

Here’s Palin’s response, after Matt Lauer asked her when she knew the election was lost:

"I had great faith that, you know, perhaps when that voter entered that voting booth and closed that curtain that what would kick in for them was, perhaps, a bold step that would have to be taken in casting a vote for us, but having to put a lot of faith in that commitment we tried to articulate that we were the true change agent that would progress this nation."

Yes my English is pretty terrible; I can get the basic grammar shit wrong and my sentence structures are Singlish-fied, but this???

2008-12-07T17:58:00.002+08:00

Grrr I really really feel the need now to take up Japanese/German/French/Italian/Spanish/other foreign languages even though my mandarin and english are pretty awful BUT STILL.
Google translator can only go this far (read: shitty).

2008-12-07T11:44:00.002+08:00

Am feeling a bit retarded, going through articles published on 5 Nov, but this, is really really really good.
"Nation Finally Shitty Enough To Make Social Progress".

It's the 'finally' that got me laughing/giggling/making weird noises. Or maybe it's the 'shitty'.

The John Little Sale is ridiculous. And I am still feeling a bit retarded queueing for 15 minutes or so for only 3 packets of chips.

2008-12-06T00:07:00.003+08:00

the homework conundrum

2008-11-29T11:24:00.002+08:00

I have the same problem with holiday homework/assignments EVERY YEAR. Especially during the Nov/Dec break. I don't know what's wrong with me.
At least this year I started early! This year I finished the cheng yu assignment on the last day of school how's that. Last year I was struggling with homework at the end of December so this year is much better.

And all the Christmas advertisements are really bugging me. 20% Off Holiday Gifts For Your Loved Ones 100 Notable Books/Music/Movies Of 2008 buy this book buy that album buy that movie blu ray or DVD your choice we ship really fast we ship to the UK for this price we ship to the US for this price we ship to everywhere else for more and sometimes we don't even do international shipping!!! yay yay yay!!!
And look sheeple look at this shirt/dress/jeans/footwear/etc. bullshit it's so cheap before you add in the shipping fees and before you convert it into Singapore dollars well yeah it's cheap anyway just buy it.
EIUFOHGJRL BULLSHIT. Everything about Christmas gifts is over-commercialisation over-commercialisation over-commercialisation over-commercialisation and that's just on the Internet.

Well yes I've been spending too much time in front of the computer instead of the work desk.
Work desk reminds me of IKEA and the new bookcase which is coming today (I think).
Not that I got much books to put on it anyway if you don't count in all the stuff from school. I just need a new corner for Fables (it's going to grow I swear) and my unread shit which includes Atonement which I bought in June. And it's almost December now.
Oh and add in On Beauty which I bought at the beginning of this month.
At least now I know there would be some extra time in the future which I would use to read this two.

2008-11-28T14:11:00.001+08:00

2008-11-28T14:03:00.000+08:00

Trying to do homework. Fail fail fail.

rambling 03

2008-11-26T14:28:00.002+08:00

Am supposed to return my library books today because they were due yesterday but I am currently stuck in front of the computer and I don't feel like moving my butt.
And so far the LA letter which I had been working on since yesterday only totaled up to 287 words.
I blamed it on the absence of good music I can study to so I went to find some and well well well.
And right now I keep thinking about Christmas presents and cards but I realised that even if I had the money I would need to finish my homework soon so I can go out without guilt bothering me.
And then I realised that Christmas is over commercialized so I thought that I should just stay home and make homemade gifts because they are cheaper (but uglier).
Huh wtf; I shall finish homework by 17 Dec.

I think now my library fine totals up to $6 plus. Shiiiiiiit.

2008-11-25T12:22:00.002+08:00

I WILL FINISH 50% OF THE HOMEWORK LOAD BY THE END OF THIS WEEK WHOOOSH!!!

2008-11-24T16:17:00.003+08:00

Well I know what my eczema needs, and it's not $180 worth of bullshit.
And well I know it's bullshit because that motherfucker made my mother wasted $20 on omega-3 fatty acids pills instead of encouraging me to eat more fish VERBALLY.
Which doesn't mean the rest of the prescription is bullshit, but that quack has just lost all credibility. He may have diplomas in dermatology but apparently he needs one in morality.
I don't need the extra pills and I don't need the extra fats ok you cunting fucker GO FUCK YOUR OWN MOTHER.

God Has Pity on Kindergarten Children

2008-11-23T13:46:00.001+08:00

by Yehuda Amichai.

God has pity on kindergarten children.
He has less pity on school children.
And on grownups he has no pity at all,
he leaves them alone,
and sometimes they must crawl on all fours
in the burning sand
to reach the first-aid station
covered with blood.

But perhaps he will watch over true lovers
and have mercy on them and shelter them
like a tree over the old man
sleeping on a public bench.

Perhaps we too will give them
the last rare coins of compassion
that Mother handed down to us,
so that their happiness will protect us
now and in other days.

2008-11-22T15:27:00.002+08:00

So I woke up this morning to eat donutsssssss.
Was planning to only eat one but end up with 3 and a half donuts in my stomach.

And just last night I was watching a documentary about heart transplants on Deustch Welle and they showed you the donated heart and it was covered with icky yellow fats and it looked like a pig heart that we had to dissect during bio lab the other time.
Anyway, the point is that if I have that much fats surrounding my heart now shouldn't I get out and exercise my butt off instead of eating donuts and then sit down in front of the computer so I could lower my risk of getting coronary heart diseases I mean I already have those chest pains sometimes (angina or something) so.

Which reminds me: I should really finish my homework and then start memorising bio and history shit for next year.
Which also reminds me: that there's this moisturising cream for eczema called Urea.
I'm not kidding. And I'm not sure about this, but doesn't urea and water add up to urine? What the hell?
And I just figured out that steroid is a constituent compound in the cream thing for eczema. Steroid? As in the fats or the drug.
Maybe I should do biochemistry next time.

And I watched Ashita no Kita Yoshio today.
Only finished episode 01 though, so couldn't really tell if it's going to be crappy like Synesthesia and Nightmare Detective but even if it is I'd still (probably) endure through the crap just to see Ryuhei Matsuda HAHAHA.
He's quite a good actor, and his films all alternate around the subjects of homosexuality / death / suicide / murderer / mystery / incest (at least in the case of Synesthesia. Fuck the ending though) which are usually appealing to me but so far I've only watched crap.
BUT I WOULD PERSEVERE.
And then, you know: would you rather do homework or watched crappy movies?

Erh well just before the exam period (and during it) I drew up a list of dramas and movies to watch and I never included any Asian ones but, well.
And I have still yet to finish episode 03 of T: SCC season 2 oh fuck I feel like skipping all the way to Mr Fergusson Is Ill Today.
What a holiday. Next year I'll draw up a better plan.

"It’s funny that just a few months ago everyone was wringing their hands over inflation. It’s gone. It’s over."
NARIMAN BEHRAVESH, chief economist at Global Insight.

I realised that my grammar is terrible to the point that it's terrifying.

rambling 01

2008-11-21T11:50:00.005+08:00

Not that I'm expecting anyone to read the shit below but:
I had a terrible nightmare yesterday!!!
What happened was that I bought Intimacy (finally. Even though it's just a dream but still), but it turns out that the copy I bought DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THE BONUS SHIT e.g. no bonus tracks and no DVD extras.
So technically it's equivalent to buying the CD online because I only had 10 tracks.
:(
I guessed I only had this nightmare because HMV cheated me of my $15 the other time I bought Silent Alarm without the bonus stuff and then when I went to the CD shop at Parkway (Gramophone or something) THEY HAD THE ONE WITH ALL THE BONUS TRACKS.
Fuck HMV. Or at least the one at City Hall. Plus the last time I went they didn't even stock Bloc Party anymore, though it might have change now since they'd probably stock Intimacy.

And then this morning I dreamt of buying a pencil case off Etsy.com which I had been ogling at the whole of yesterday. Or maybe the day before. I can't remember well.
But the point is, THAT WAS A DELICIOUS DREAM because the pencil case is nice to squeeze and grope and touch because the Japanese fabric which it was made from is very very nice to touch. Though how the Japanese fabric felt to me in my dream is probably not how it feels like in reality because I have never touched any of those fabric before.
And yes, the price of the pencil case is somewhat...erh. Expensive. Which further emphasizes the fact that it was a delicious DREAM.

Anyway I woke up this morning and my mother was leaving for Batam so I made her promised me (and my stomach) that she'd buy a big box of J. CO Donuts home with her.
Which is retarded of me to say, since the only thing I ever do now is sit in front of the computer and watch dramas/movies until my eyes are tired so I won't need the extra calories BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S J.CO *drool drool drool*

And well. Apparently world leaders are eating shit expensive dishes while they gather to discuss about the economic crisis.
And CNN was discussing about Obama's inauguration ceremony, because everyone was thinking that they probably shouldn't spend millions on a party like Bush did since there's the economic crisis.
YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST HOLD A BIG BLOCK PARTY AND GET BLOC PARTY OVER TO PERFORM
:D
Or do something street. And cheap.

Anyway I'm in the middle of watching Synesthesia on Crunchy Roll but I paused because 36 minutes in and there's no sign of Ryuhei Matsuda (or his character) ANYWHERE.
But I shall persevere!!! Like I did through Nightmare Detective yesterday.
Not that it was a terrible movie, but the quality of the video on Crunchy Roll is pathetic; my brother and I (somehow my brother wanted to watch too) were seeing pixels everywhere. And the movie was supposed to be scary but we couldn't see anything scary because everything was in pixels.
And we couldn't make out if the murderer's ear was bleeding because I thought I saw it bleeding but my brother didn't see so we thought the blood was caused by pixels but it was bleeding.
And the camera is annoying because it keeps shaking. Which means that the editing and the directing were also pretty bad. OH LA FILM STUDIES PAID OFF AFTER ALL.
I REALISED I'M RAMBLING LOL.
So the only good things about the movie were Ryuhei Matsuda and hitomi, who was tall and slim and THIN and pretty. But she's too old for Matsuda SO STOP TOUCHING HIM WHILE THE TWO OF YOU ARE SLEEPING OK.
And it gets very annoying when the people committed suicide because they didn't like the fact that they were born in Japan. WHAT THE HELL?
You have decent music festivals and gigs there and your culture there is awesome and SO IS THE FOOD and you are complaining???

OK I shall stop whining and rambling and get back to my movie.

2008-11-15T18:10:00.002+08:00

Argh I fucking need moisturiser - my skin is currently white and flaky and itchy dammit I fucking hate eczema!!!

And I want to play the piano, play Haydn, play Handel, play the Ravel piece but the thing is I would most likely screw everything so horribly because I haven't practice in a long while and then the whole house would be feeling gloomy and pissed from listening to the noise.

Was reading my diary from last year and apparently I wrote something along the line of "things are going to change around here next holidays mark my words for it!!!" I can't really remember I'm sure the sentence was in caps and there were more exclamations marks but I'm not sure I AM SO FUCKING IRRITATED BY THE LACK OF MOISTURISER(s?) I CAN'T THINK CAN'T TYPE CAN'T READ PROPERLY ANYMORE.

Nearly slept while reading Wicked. It's not as if it's really boring.
But all the sex parts were annoying. Gregory Maguire is not good at smut.
To me. But I'm biased.

Agyosdfhjgf this holiday is sucky - I wasted $50 on a pair of shoes I doubt I'd wear for long because I have bad judgement and hence always end up making bad decisions.
And I bought On Beauty because I can't be arsed to borrow it from the library again and again.

Fuck it's so annoying I NEED MOISTURISERSSS.

2008-11-15T12:32:00.002+08:00

Whatever collaboration there may be in the short term, Mr. Obama represents the end of the Bush era in the long term. Yet he will find himself dealing with the Bush legacy for years to come. He promised on the campaign trail to close the detention facility at the United States naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, but analysts in both parties expect that to be more difficult than he imagines. He will inherit a deficit that could approach $1 trillion next year, which could curtail his ambitions, like expanding health care coverage.

As a result, the shift from campaign trail rhetoric to halls-of-governance reality could prove turbulent. And Mr. Obama’s soaring speeches have created such a well of anticipation that there is a deep danger of letdown.

2008-11-05T21:25:00.002+08:00

I've never watch so much CNN/news channel in my life before.
Aaaaaah oh wells I'm so envious of the Americans right now. They must be darn proud of themselves for voting for change.
But then, time would tell if Obama can govern as well as he campaigns.
*hopeful for January 20th*
Hmmm I wonder about N. Korea's reaction to the results.

happy happy happy

HA - OBAMA WON.
!!!
Well yes I'm a bit slow with this because I was watching CNN because they had cool techs to keep track of the votes and they had this hologram of Will.I.Am which/whom/? Anderson Cooper *swoons* talked to.
And Mr. Cooper was standing up talking to the analysts sitting down (hmmm I wonder about his varicose veins), and quite a few of them were pro-McCain I think because they did look like they were going home to cry to their mummies when the results came in (aw).
HA. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

ANYWAY. Today is also Guy Fawkes Day, and I did promised to start doing hol HW on this day. Oh wells.

Went library with Karis yesterday, and we both borrowed Choke, which I finished this morning, and well, the book made me give up on studying medicine.
Because apparently, Victor only get through medical school by mnemonics.
So, studying bio is OK, but doing medicine is not, unless you want to memorise a bunch of mnemonics.

And I borrowed The Great Gatsby, but in Chinese though, because the library didn't stock the classics in English, which is quite a pity, because all the wonderful quotes are non-translatable (meh).

In the evening, Eragon watches the moonrise and goes to bed. The author sticks some asterisks at the end of this terribly important and necessary passage, calls it a day, and then runs to the living room for his afternoon cookies and "Teen Titans" reruns.

Argh I can feel my brain cells burning and I never knew how devastating the effect of the most pure and most concentrated form of stupidity is until now. It's so bloody destructive and depressing oh fuck now I understand why people cry when they see/read/hear something stupid.
