Far Out

I thought I was going to blow my morning on asinine dance routines, especially after finding out only 4 people from my class turned up at morning assembly.

I was miffed; I thought the girls had forsaken me!
"Wahlaoeh, they all pang-sei me..."
Turned out that they were merely late, HEH.

Anyway, mass dance was a complete bore because the class was too embarrassed to execute the really silly steps. It's not like the girls and I didn't try to escape, we did try but we failed miserably when a PC teacher caught us sneaking off. His threats were as effective as Panadol pills were for cancer - "4 ROUNDS OF MAKEUP PC!!!" - Like come on... we don't have PC anymore! Plus, running isn't such a bad thing right.



We did consider doing Mr Lim's card in the toilet because we were THAT scared of getting caught for missing the Teachers' Day concert. Fact.

Oh and Sharlene has Pon ancestry (I suspect that's where she gets her seemingly Malay looks from) She's a natural at this spooking people stuff.

Peeeeeekchers!




This shot, I believe, must be the best of all three.

Had a good long chat with Shimah that spanned more than 2 hours.
Boy was it so good, it was almost like absolution. Weird connection but pretty apt in my opinion. It's come full circle (:

-

Dina has the weirdest analogies ever.
Case in point : -

Dina says (01:48):
hahahaha
gd frend to have
better keep in touch with him
it might lead to smth else
really really

As the train approaches Gare du Nord says (01:48):
lol
i alr told him im gonna miss him like hell when he goes for ns

Dina says (01:48):
you just need smth to trigger it off
like maybe he likes someone else really a lot
and then you realise
HEY I DONT SHARE
and poof
it became coco crunch

As the train approaches Gare du Nord says (01:49):
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

And yes, that pretty much sums up my Friday.
Oh, no wait!!!
ZOMG GAAAAAAAHHHHH! :D
TEEHEE!
WOOOOOHOOOO!
(Just a random outburst of unadulterated euphoria so I know what I'm talking about the next time I read this)
Have a nice weekend ahead, people, and happy mugging!

This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna give in tonight
Are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see

Still I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
Are we ever, are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
Are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

If I was to give in - give it up - and then
Take a breath - make it deep
Cause it might be the last one you get
Be the last one
That could make us cold
You know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

Hello all.
Today is Sunday and it's 12.16 as I'm writing this.
I'm as frustrated as any girl with sore eyes who's got shitloads of overdue revision and has not had a fix of her addiction for one week already could be.

Still, Saturday was good!
Went JayBee with the dad's side of the family and we indulged in cheap pastries, cheap donuts, cheap other types of food, cheap groceries and cheap thrills.

While the family was cooped up in the car, stuck in the sluggish traffic at the customs, I fiddled around with my new handphone and there's like, oh so many functions!



-Integrated 2 megapixel camera in landscape mode, 2nd camera CIF+; with up to 4x digital zoom (perfect if I want to take a close-up pic of whoever strikes my fancy or rather, whoever I fancy! Too bad I haven't figured out a way to disable the sound that it makes after taking a shot)

-Integrated music player for MP3/M4A/eAAC+/WMA formats (YAY music!)

-16 true million colors TFT QVGA 320 x 240 pixels, 2 inches display

I could go on, but I should really stop lest I sound like a tech snob or just a snob with a new spiffy gadget. Moving on, I was shook out of my state of blissful daze when the car, which was moving slowly to the front, jerked to a stop. Apparently, some man tried to cut into our lane WITHOUT signalling and this just pissed my dad big time.

What's worse was the guy actually had the cheek to retort with a "C-bye!" when my dad asked "What are you trying to do, cutting into my lane like that?"
At the guy's response, my dad showed him The Finger (okay lah, not really because it was accompanied with the index and ring finger as well but it's a big deal because my dad very very very rarely swears, and even so, he doesn't indulge in profanities in front of his kids) and surprise surprise, got out of the car and stomped his way to the rude jerk. I remember being split over my dad's reaction. Part of me was like "Ohohoho... This is gonna be interesting. Way to go, ayah!" and the other part slapped myself in the forehead and thought "Men."

I digress. So anyway, my dad went to the nincompoop who shrank back from his window (really, no kidding. What a coward, right!) and did rude gestures from inside the car. This is a most dumb measure to take with my dad, especially when his car window was open (LIKE WTF, if you're going to be rude, do it within the safety of a closed car!) so my dad reached in and grabbed his wrist and I don't know what happened next because I couldn't bear to watch.

It's all very awkward seeing my father giving in to anger and acting thus because he's usually calm and composed. I should know, because he merely smiled and said "Ah, I'm sure you can do much better than this, you'll bounce back up because you're like a rubber ball!" when I showed him my horrendous midyears. Right.

In moments, my dad got back in the car and my mum muttered "You're so childish."
My dad looked a little triumphant though, I think he won the argument.
So yes, other than that, the long queue to the immigration customs was uneventful.

Mumster and I finally got to send our fabrics for tailoring at some boutique at some shopping centre (only a month plus from Hari Raya!) after eons of circumnavigating the damn place for any boutique that would accept our order.

I'm gonna get some corset-y thingy, which is awesome cause I've never had one and besides, it'll make me look as slim as a ruler with curves! (Okay, bad simile, bad bad simile) Just hope it'll turn out nicely and that I won't gain weight or lose a lot of weight because then I won't be able to fit nor fill in the corset, and that would suck big balls of fire.

Mumster got something kinda similar, but instead of a corset, she'll get something that's more in-line with a woman who dons a tudung, haha. Gosh, I really need to work on my descriptive skills, don't I.

Anyway, the downside is - We'll only get our tailored outfits a week after Raya but I reckon that's alright since people won't remember past Raya outfits, rightrightright?

Okay then, back to mugging my ass off.
Ugh.

I've got a lump in my throat
You say 'no-one's to blame but me'
And all the freaks on the front page
Telling little white lies

Cute.

Played the silly game where we had to list the names of 10 boys, 5 girls and choose which number goes to the respective categories.
I got nice outcomes, real nice.
Of course I'm fully aware there're infinitely slim chances of them happening (esp the Ian Watkins part, nya haaaah! Oh and OMG OMG OMG OMGGGG MILOOOO) but there's no harm in dreaming!

No wait, of course there is, but 5 minutes have elapsed and I should really be spending time on Econs instead so I won't go into that. One word though: Buzzword.

MILOOOOOOOOOOOOO! OMG OMG O.M.G.
Neat haircut and shaven, that's how he should be.


Season 2 of Heroes coming up soon!
Sweeeeet, I can't wait.

Kudos to Shar for the term "Brainfuck".
The things we come up with in the midst and flurry of Econs mugging.

Me: How brainfucked are you?
Shar: I just had an intellectual orgasm.

-

On another note, no regrets and no hard feelings after having read it.

-

And it is at those kind of times that make me feel so damn appreciative of the PWC, but of course, it's not as if I wasn't appreciative of them in the first place (:
(Despite our different stands on hairy/non-hairy dudes, we're still cool, right?)






HUH?! - LOL

Well that's it then.
That's the last you'll ever hear from me.
It's funny how what you're feeling right now echoes what I felt months back - Must be karma.

Well, to fuck with my goddamn vow to cease swearing.
To fuck with my aim to keep my caffeine fix to a minimum.
To fuck with trying to keep cool when everyone else around you doesn't give a damn anyway.
To fuck with fuck.

All that cease to matter if that's how it has come to be.

Just keep mugging, just keep mugging, just keep mugging...

Dina says:
the social outcast you cant do without, although not so crude
you just like having someone like that ard

I. Just. Had. To. Post. This.

You know, so I can look back on this one day and think "ZOMG pathetic sia!"

But heck, in defence, I say -
"At least got abs, you know, got abssssss."

In the past week, I had a dream about cows being mass slaughtered and boy was it unpleasant.
And just yesterday, I had another peculiar dream involving certain schoolmates, certain friends, a certain building and a certain someone.
Certainly silly.

On Friday, there was a mini argument regarding the health benefits/risks that coffee brings.
As a coffee addict, I was all ready to dismiss whatever Hamidah said about coffee.

Hamidah: Coffee will make you fat!
Me: I drink lots per day and I'm not fat! At least not yet... Anyway who told you all that?
Hamidah: My mum, and she's a nurse!

There was probably a lot more about coffee that Hamidah warned the coffee-junkies there about, but I couldn't remember because it's hard to understand what she's saying when she's near hysterical (I kid, I kid).

Midah wasn't the only person there with myths to share. Shimah expounded briefly on the dangers of mints when Farhan wanted to pop a mint.

Shimah: Did you know that mints will reduce your sperm count? I'm serious!

Oh and apparently, drinking coffee (or was it eating mints?) reduces egg (or was it sperm?) count. (Damn I'm getting to be so forgetful nowadays.) What the hell. I'm gonna see if there's any truth in what the girls said. I didn't find stuff on mint though, cause I was too lazy but here are some info nuggets on coffee!

#2 - Coffee helps with weight loss
Coffee may help some people to lose weight as it may boost the number of calories you burn per hour by about 4%.

Take that, Midah! :D

#2 - Coffee does not equate to bad sperms
A recent Brazilian study showed that consumption of coffee promotes better sperm mobility - and now studies are in progress to determine whether caffeine can help infertile men.
In addition to helping to make babies, studies have shown that lifelong coffee drinkers usually enjoy sex into their later years as well.

Awesome! Sex in later years? Even more awesome!

#3 - Coffee facilitates the learning process
Coffee helps to improve alertness, attention and wakefulness and by that means it facilitates relevant learning. When the study is tedious, boring and not motivating, coffee helps to give you the energy to study and to make the best of it. The caffeine in your cup of coffee helps you process the information from your study books and the lessons you follow.

Just what we need especially in the light of the approaching prelims and A levels, eh?

Haha, sounds like what I'd do after 4 hours w/o coffee


Hah, I think someone will love this

Alright, something non-coffee related now.

"Men born between 1949 and 1983 to women in the US who ate a lot of beef while pregnant have significantly lower sperm counts, a new study shows...

Swan's team also contacted the men's mothers and asked them to recall how much beef – along with other meats and foods – they consumed while pregnant with their sons.

Of all the foods these women ate, only beef appeared linked to a significant reduction in sperm count among their sons. Around 18% of men born to women who reported eating more than one serving of beef a day while pregnant had sperm counts below 20 million sperm per millilitre, which is classified as "sub-fertile" by the World Health Organization.

By comparison, men whose mothers ate one or fewer portions of beef per day, on average, had higher sperm counts – just 6% were classified as sub-fertile.

The difference between the two groups remained significant after controlling for many external factors such as smoking, sexually transmitted diseases and the amount of beef that the men themselves ate."

Maybe that explains my dream...
Woohoo you people can't make fun of my no-meat diet now!

Taken from the Basic Instructions site.
I find it the most hilarious strip so far (:




Now THAT's something to smile about!

Here I am blogging at 3am in the morning!
This must be due to the 4, 5, 6? cups of coffee I consumed over the past 12 hours.
Coffee is very very good.
I love coffee!

This afternoon, I opened my iTunes and I found that I've been listening to 'I Miss You' by Incubus. I played it over and over again today, so that play count hit 46 for this day alone.

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, Utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said "I miss you"?

I see your picture.
I smell your skin on
The empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
But already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care,
And I miss you.

Makes me think "OH. MY. GOD. I want my life to be like a Bollywood movie where I'll get the guy I want!"

AND the A level results I want.
Speaking of which, I'm feeling hella scared about the upcming major exams. I feel like I haven't been studying a lot (which is probably true anyway) and that I'm gonna be a total washout because I'll flunk my exams!

Omg omg omg 83 days to A Levels!

Less than 100 days to freedom! (I think I didn't count the last paper - Lit, just because. HAHA)

Now, there's something to look forward to!

Oh yes, one last thing before I shove ass to bed.
I've watched Disturbia, have youuuuu? :D

Tomorrow?
Always a day away.

My files have turned invisible and I have no idea how to make them appear.
Saying 'Lumos!' doesn't seem to work too.
I'm pretty sure they're somewhere in my laptop but for all the donuts in the world, I just cannot solve this mini conundrum of mine.

Oh well, moving on to more interesting things like...
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE for example!




Caught the movie with Sharlene, Eunice and Germaine at Orchard straight after school, and it was a perfect perk-me-up after school.
Absofuckinglutely worth my 7 buckeroos.
The plot is a tad shallow, but the parodies, the jokes, the songs, the lines, the characters, the accents, the whole movie made me laugh my socks off.
I especially loved the Spider-Pig song which goes like this:

Spiderpig! Spiderpig!
Does whatever Spiderpig does!
Can he swing from a web?
No he can't, he's a pig.
Look out... Here comes the Spiderpig!


Spiderpig!


AND OH THE GAY JIBES WERE A HOOT.
Ralph Wiggum may be a secondary character, but his one liners sure are hilarious as hell.
"I like men now!" - When he sees Bart skateboarding in the nude.
The chant made by Homer when Flanders was speaking in church was so immature, it struck a chord with me. NYA-HAH!

There were numerous references to other movies too.
They made a parody of the Titanic scene where the violinists play as other passengers scramble to save their lives. Later on in the movie, Lisa tried to warn the people of Springfield about the pollution that was going on in their lake and her presentation was called "An Irritating Truth" and Shar and I snorted when we saw this. I thought it was weird that no one else caught the joke there, but I guess they haven't heard of 'An Inconvenient Truth'.
Harry Potter was parodied too! Spiderpig turned pig-wizard for a brief moment, and his moniker was "Harry Porker".

On a sidenote, I think it's sad Apu didn't have a lot of lines.
He's the only representative of the Asian community!

More Simpsons media.

Choice scenes from the movie


The voice actors and their characters Part 1


Part 2


Part 3


The Simpsons ala The Addams Family


That's about it, I think.

p/s. When I grow up, I wanna be a voice actor too!

pp/s. Hank Azaria is cuuuuuute.
