The Up's.

Sometimes, i contemplate what enthical, and very intelligent and though provoking topics to discuss. However, i end up ranting about my uber boring life. I shalt do that today too, but with some interesting topics.


TODAY:
did way too much shopping. lol. thank you kiewu. i successfully spent more than $230 just because you so easily tempted me by taking initiative to look at NUM. ((: hahaha. rarhs. i bought a pair of havaianas. and then we went to shop MORE. bought another CK tee, bought some funny Giodarno tee. and bought a bag, a shirt for my dad from G2000, bought a FCUK tee. lol. thanks kiewu. i'm BROKE. ((:


THOUGHT PROVOKING:
ever wondered how does deja vu actually occur? i mean, do you even know if it HAS really happened before? or why does it even happen? or wait, base question. do you even know what IS Deja Vu? hmmmm. although people dont find wikipedia credible, i have found out that it is in some aspect. lets see the information provided:

"The experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has repeated itself).
The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past. Déjà vu has been described as "remembering the future."
The experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% of people report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon. It has been extremely difficult to invoke the déjà vu experience in laboratory settings, therefore making it a subject of few empirical studies. Recently, researchers have found ways to recreate this sensation using hypnosis."



interesting. what i find appalling is that research is actually done by using artifical methods such as HYPNOSIS? isnt this ethically incorrect? i mean, obviously we cant carry out an experiment on a RAT for the test of deja vu, but we are being used as the guinea pigs? i'm not claiming that using rats or other creatues is right. thats a seperate issue. but, simply, deja vu is a thing that is quite special. why are we making something so special become so ordinary? maybe i'm not pertaining to the point, not driving it home strongly, but i find this whole things queer.

anyways, i'm sure all of us have experienced deja vu. its not uncommon. (: alrights. i shall end off here.
GOING BACK TO QUEENSWAY TOMORROW!! ((:

The Days of my Life.

the days pass ever so slowly.
the eyelids close, the daylight fades.


hey people. these few days have been really weird. i mean, after my o level results and all, its like i suddenly feel that a part of me has changed. especially since weijin has left for australia. )): sighs. i dont have anyone to go out at 10PM anymore. gahhhs. lol.

oh mann. anyhoots. i went to church today. and it was a very good message. it was on the Holy Spirit. and Dr A.R Bernard is really a very powerful speaker. he is so anointed. wow. anyways. i shant dwell on this. lets move on.

today..sunday. hmmm. i wonder what i'll be doing. lols. i have no inclination actually. i'm quite clueless about my schedule nowadays. its like i have no plan. eat,sleep,shit. thats as interesting as it gets. lol. sigh. anyways. i wana take more pictures again. gahh. i want a new cam.

i love J.Lo's next single, Brave. its a little different. but i love it. and i also love Keyshia Cole's new song, Fallin' Out. thanks xenia. (: I WANA WATCH SWEENY TODD!! (sp error?)

okay. till then.
lotsa hugs and kisses. wait. xoxoxoxoxo. ((:

O LEVEL RESULTS!

hey people!!
yeah! today is the day that some of us died, and some of us were glorified because of our awesome results. not be to such an insensitive prick, i shall state my 2 sides.

i did as follows:
4 Distinctions.

Combined Science(C/B) - A1
Elementary Math - A1
Combined Hummanities(elec. Lit) - A2
English Language - A2
Additional Math - B3
Geography(full,pure) - B3
Chinese Langauge - C5


so that leaves me with a L1R5 of 12, and an L1R4 of 9!
which means i qualify for the course i wana do! i'm sort of elated. i mean, it is TRULY and SOLELY through God that i receive such good results. i never expected to attain such grades!

Others who did well: Kelman(12), Shu Ya(12), Kiewu(12), Ilona(8), Ryan A.(8), Bryan C.(8), Vern(10), Melinda(8), Weiqi(10), Xenia(14)i think?, and many others. (:
anyways. congrats to those who did extremely well. (:


Cecelia dearest, i dont have much to say to you. thats why i wasnt there most of the time beside you. all i want to say is that maybe you didnt give off your best. but fret not, my dear, crying over spilt milk is groundless. i know many people have adviced you. for me, personally, i think doing it over again is a good idea. i hope that you dont take offence at me for putting this on my blog. but i really think its nothing to be ashamed of. you did your best. we know it. i'm sorry that it wasnt to your expectations. God will show you a road out of this alright. dont worry, you will find a direction, through God. let His peace enter your heart. Let the Holy Spirit lead you, and provide rest for you okay?

akin to those who didnt perform to task, work harder alright! its not the end. trust in yourself, put in determination and excel alright!


Lotsa love.
dont worry. God loves you and i do too. (:

Today In Pictures.






Here's today's pictures i edited. Likewise, do comment. (:
oh, and i absolutely love the new song - When You Look Me In The Eyes!!

My Dislikes.

hey people. i'm gonna do a post on the things that we like and dont like. or rather, some of them that I personally, dislike. haha. in addition, things that i find absolutely ridiculous. lets start off the list.

RIDICULOUS:
1. Naming Contests
stupid naming contests like the one at Singapore Changi Airport's Budget Terminal that opend 2007. The question is "Are Singaporeans Lacking Creativity?" because it is ridiculous to have a NAMING competition for the BUDGET TERMINAL and the winner of this $25,000(i think) prize goes to the guy who names it "BUDGET TERMINAL". simply, how ridiculous. i'm not questioning the intelligence level of Singaporeans, but also the intelligence of the people who JUDGE. is it to be cynical? sarcastic? surely, to me, it is more than stupid.

2. MDA's Rating Board
Let's do a survey. How many of us realise that once reaching the age of 16, we find that all the movies are M18? well, compared to MPAA(America's Rating Board) i feel that MDA isn't that as bad. but i find it really pointless that they rate a movie NC16 just for violence, when some movies are rated NC16 for Sexual Innuendoes. Why is the government trying to control the people of the country so much? Aren't they promoting more familes, more children? Shouldn't that start from a younger age? Another survey, how many of us have NEVER seen a sexual scene before we really reached 16 years of age? probably a handful, but majority, no. See, these ratings are COMPLETELY useless. Its completely GROUNDLESS and POINTLESS!




IRRITATING/DISGUSTING/LOATHSOME:
1. Overrated, Misuse of words.
Not like Paris Hilton's "thats hot", but more like those words like "yo" whats with the street language YO?! i mean, singapore is a city, an ASIAN city. we dont have American cultures. why are youths speaking in such ways now? is it really the influence of the media in western countries? When such things arise, we start to question and blame. Are we losing our roots? just like how many of us cannot speak ur dialects? Words like "yo" when used too commonly is repulsive.

2. People at the ATM
Ever queued in the line to withdraw money for more than 10 minutes? I have. and trust me, it pisses you off. whats the hold up? its not like you need to double and triple check your account in case the cheque hasnt been banked in. Its not like you need to check your account balance 10 times! its not like you need to withdraw $500 in $10 notes?! Please, next time think of the people BEHIND you, be a kinder person!

3. Chinese New Year Songs
Ever found an irritable Chinese New Year song playing inside.....your HEAD because you heard it while shopping at Metro, Cold Storage, or while Nature calls in the loo? whats with these songs? its not like we're gonna sing along. a fraction of us don't even know how to speak mandarin! yes, i talked about culture. but don't you think that alike Christmas, they start playing these songs too early? I was stunned when i saw a Chinese written banner outside A|X. since when did Armani Exchange get owned by a chinese tycoon? in that case, lets throw away all our A|X clothes. it wont last a day.

4. Mahjong at Funerals.
Ever wondered why people play mahjong at a funeral? Ever came up with an answer to it? Neither. no, its not to ease stress, not to be compassionate for the late one. WHY?! why do people CELEBRATE at a FUNERAL?! i mean, stupid isnt it? i, on no grounds want anyone to be making noise with the shuffling of marble pieces of a table at MY funeral or my parents whatsoever. i think its simply RUDE.

Sunday, January 20, 2008

Its You.

i feel so happy. and i promise myself that i'll not be sad for one week! unless (crap) the o level results come out in 5 days.. then you gotta excuse me. lol. i wouldnt have seen that coming.

oh yeah. O LEVEL RESULTS. sigh. sylvia said its the O Level dont know what period uh? i gotta agree. i think i'm starting to freak out for goodness sakes. lol. i'm so so so dont know what to do if i dont do well uh! lols. anyways. like Pastor said, we must have CONFIDENCE! (: having FAITH is being CONFIDENT! so thats what we must have alright! ahah. confidence. (:

okays. i'm gonna do some really long prayers for everyone who will get their results back soon. (:alrights. thats all for now..



P.S: i love you. dont hurt me. i really do.
i'm sorry. lets forget about ourselves.
take me back, take me all back now.
and lets discover a place which we dont know.

My "Thousand Words"









I Promise You.

i know. my mood changes really fast. current mood: emo.


thank you my dear. sincerely, i need someone to wake me up once in a while. and i wana thank you for waking me up. it was time for me to be serious. i really needed to realise how important you are to me. or were. i am in no position to do anything. all i can do is honestly apologise for being such an asshole, for being so self centered. i'm sorry for being so ungrateful. i'm sorry for being such an insensitive person. i never realised i was becoming more insensitive. i just wana tell you that i do love you. its not like its changed. i just got distracted. i just forgot how much it means to me. you know it. i broke down. and thank you Aryani. i needed someone to console me while tears streamed down my face in the sea of people. please forgive me. this is the true me. i promise that i'll take it seriously and not be so controlled by avarice.

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, PLEASE LET THE PERSON KNOW ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU.

i am so lost. i'm sorry i cant even blog normally in the last few days. sometimes at the end of the rainbow isnt a pot of gold. it isnt a prize to claim. sometimes after going through the journey, you throw it all up. you give up. you end up with a breakage. a breakdown. you remember how it was. how you used to be. i remember. i know. and so i say:

my heart. it hurts. its broken. its shattered.
i know i need you. i know, its all i do.
though it may get tough.
i vow to be here to go through.
to stand by you.
to be the one, ever so true.
to you and only you.
i'm sorry for hurting you.
i regret not loving you more.
i hope you still do.
love me as you used to.
i still love you.



if you find me detestable, please do not even bother tagging. my emotions are so unstable i think i'll be severely ruined if you mete out harsh words on me. so please, have some compassion. thank you.

The Phrase.

below are some phrases that i penned down before i became super emo last night, or rather, this morning. as always. its vague. but it isnt meant for everyone to understand. count yourself lucky if you do. (:

a disdain of sorrow weeping in anguish.
the piercing heart screams with love.
a plundered hope rekindled by fate.
unfamiliarity met by common truths.
sunken dreams foretold by a lover.
drunken ideas ridiculously noted.
fairytale ending filled with lust.
conservativeness confronted by radicle.
decisions objected in pandemonium.
the morally incorrect resounds pitifully.
scornful, with words so blatant.
archaic mentality, presumptuously impertinent.

Weary.

open up.
light shining through.
i want, i wana know.
so come on, show me.
hold back no more.
see the real me.
its who i really am.
its what i really want.
its a person beyond the facade.
an image that is still fresh.
a bud tender and young
a dying flower no more.
the fresh milk, not stale.
a heart pumping with life.
with blood so alive and rich.
in blessing, love and truth.

i call on you.
hold withal no more.
emotions on high, let it fly.
a page unwritten , now filled.
a book closed on its end.
a life met with a consequence.
a touch of gold.
a sense of satisfaction.
a guilty pleasure.
a heart broken.
a pang so deep inside.
yet incomparable to the trust.
a raindrop of love.
a sea of life.

something lingers inside.
love? hate? distrust?
it rides above the distant laughter.
its different, its unorthodox.
yet, its so true, so real.
its finally here, yet it still is so far.
frustration, not lies.
hiding truths, covering them up.
patching a trap.
not as bad as it seems.
but it still seems surreal.
its not right. it seems wrong.
but yet, it feels alright. it feels right.
life. its mysteries. its downfalls.
hassle. unreasonable. incredulous.
mystical. powerful. perpetuation.
skeptical. impossible. enigmatic.
heavenly. smitten. fariytale.

the constraints.
the pains.
the difficulties
the truth.
the disbelief
the love.
the person.
the character
the values.
the complexity.
the disaster.
the hopes.
the wonder.
the anguish.
the shattered.
the delightful.
the craze.
the eccentric.
the implausible.
the frivolous.
the permeation.
the deja vu.
the selfish.
the afraid.
me.




another chapter. another phase. another disaster. another problem. another me. i'm posted with an issue. its not easy. but surely. my blog is disposition as a means to release any inner feeling without feeling compelled and unwillingly stressed into a situation whereby i need to be upfront. i dont personally like it that way. thank you for respecting my sole decision made by my discretion.

its the wrong time. nursing a sickness again, not feeling a sense of health. yet, dealing with such issues pertinent to a necessary and prime situation is essential. it may be tough. it may be tedious and tiresome. but all calamities need to have a route out. and i will find it. on my own. life isnt easy to live. i agree. precautions must be made. but when all else fails, attending to it on time learning it first handedly is key. and i abide to that. temptations might rise up. but i think that it comes down to me. giving in isnt always the easiest way to elucidate such a crop up. i know it all.

i just hope that i find a way our of this, and nurse myself back to health in time.

The Heart Never Lies.

yea right. we all believe that phrase above dont we? sigh. hmmm. its a song from McFly by the way. yeah. its a nice song. but not really true.

i read shu's blog and realises that she is the ONLY blogger who types sense. or well, at least, with really good english and wow. i was amazed. i cant do that. i usually rant about my boring uber pathetic life. like how i'm gonna bore you with how i spent my day today. lets start.

i think i caught alex's virus. throat is starting to hurt a bit. my head has been throbbing and been horribly painful for the last few hours. its so frustrating. i have been cooped up at home for the last 2,3 days? havent gone out to do anything. i feel like a really bored couch potato. i watched this Spy show on star movies, caught Ellen on star world, the one with Paris Hilton. ((: oh and, i got a new phone. yeah. i dont really wana brag. so yeah.

okkkay. right. erms. life now is pretty stable - boring, unfun, ultimately, its just..boring. yeah. oh well. i guess i could spend some time doing something else rather than blog about some useless stuff. erms. i dont even know what i'm ranting. i hate blogger to. it sucks. (: lols. whatever.

thats all. i'm effed up.
till then!

Lost.

The movie marathon went alright. it was very tiring because we watched into the morning. lol. we watched like 6? or 5? lol. forgot. but it started off really well. anyhoots. we had like lotsa drama the whole night through. lol. alex was sick too. so i think everyone is gonna get sick. lols. right. anyways.



i have no words to describe the situation. its tragic, i know. it mightn't seem disasterous, but subtly, it is. trust me. i can sense it. when you dont appreciate good works, when you dont treasure something, it will slip away. but it'll be too late by the time you realise it and want it back. i'm not here for an invalid purpose. i am here to help. if you choose not to even spare time out of your "busy schedule", so you claim or so it seems, then it wont be my fault when you dont perform up to expectations. its not my onus by that time. dont push the blame to me in that situation ya. i just want to remind you that i want to help. if you have no time, create it. prioritise your life. whats more important? work or play? lies or truth? although one may seem tempting, you know that by choosing the easy way out, will only hurt yourself. take heed. dont do this. be smart. i'm still waiting. (:




i'm listening to an old song. Ben Jelen's Come On. its so sweet. oh well. i guess i shalt end here. i will post the pics we took using the Mac later. ((:

lotsa hugs and kisses.

My Previous.

Hello people.

i officially feel that my blog is dead. (:

anyhows. i shall continue my movie ratings. cuz i'm NOT working yet, i've got really, nothing to do. and hence, i watch lots of movies. (: so, i'll tell you about different movies in the following paragrahs. ((:

1. This Film Is Not Yet Rated
this is a film about the American rating board, MPAA. whats so astounding is that no one knows WHO is in the MPAA, and yet, ratings still come out either R or NC-17. noticeable is how ridiculous they rate movies because there is too much sex? or whether there is homosexuality? or be it violence? its silly. and i find this DOCUMENTARY very suitable for people who find the MDA(singapore's rating system) ridiculous too. (: so do give it a watch. its rated R in singapore. (: FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN MOVIE RATING SYSTEM.

2. Dan In Real Life
this movie, amazingly, is very good. its not hilarious. but its witty. some parts are funny in the sense that its subtle. you need to be a person who appreciates humour. (: Steve Carrell stars in this one together with Dane Cook(the guy in Good Luck Chuck)it is also really touching actually. i find it weird to sympathise with Steve Carrell because i used to hate his characters, but amazingly, its really good. i love this movie. A MUST WATCH! although the starting is a little boring. lol.

3. Michael Clayton
a must not watch. its actually a THRILLER. and sylvia, cecelia and i couldnt grasp anything out of this movie. its tonnes of litigation stuff about some law and everything. i dont even know what they were talking about THROUGHOUT the whole movie. i watched one show before and said i didnt understand the ending. But for Michael Clayton, i dont understand the whole plot. its by far, the worst movie i've watched in my whole life. People were SLEEPING in the cinema. -.- A MUST NOT WATCH.

4. Red Line
yes. this movie has been watched by MANY people. its cars, girls and cash. its about every guy's fantasy. anyway. i think that the plot was really nothing fantastic. but i was blown away by the enormous amount of money they were dealing with. it kinda is an insight into a different lifestyle. i think that the leading actress was really HOT. i love her eyes. they are so beau-ti-ful!. anyways. overall, i think the movie was good. A MUST WATCH FOR PPL WHO LOVE RACING MOVIES,ETC.

5. Underworld
yes, this show was watched at the movie marathon the other day. it was REALLY good. i was impressed. i always did not dare to pick up the movie because it seemed so....intimidating. i dont like scary movies. but anyways. this was AMAZING. i think it was one of the best misunderstood movies i've made in my life. haha. it was really really mind blowingly cool. i think we'll be watching the second underworld, as in, Underworld 2(the sequal) in the next movie marathon. below are the details. but this is a MUST WATCH!!!

6. Eurotrip
this movie was recommended to me by weijie. lol. anyways. its really similar to American Pie. there's like the whole nudity and all stuff like that in there, so be careful. you might get blind. the movie plot, its about the same. but the story is really silly. its almost as good as American Pie. unfortunately, this movie cannot be found in cinemas, alike the previous 2 entries above. so, unless you can access it online, i'm sorry. ((:



alrighty. i've done movie review. i shall do song introduction. actually, not really. just music.

Yesterday, sylvia and cecelia were talking about the song "Teardrops On My Guitar". i think? lol. but anyways, its by Taylor Swift. i searched her up and found out that she's only 18! astounding for that voice of hers. She also sang her third single, "Our Song". its a country genre, and its really nice. shows off her powerful vocal. (: awesome new stuff.

In addition, i searched up for some Leona Lewis new songs. its not singles yet, but they are really nice songs. First, we have "Whatever It Takes". its a nice song, at least to me. and "Homeless" too. "Homeless" is a very slow, moving song. it could make you cry. i recommend "Homeless" to all EMO FREAKS out there. ((:

alrighty. i think thats all the time i have for now. but head over to cecelia's blog for more information about the next Movie Marathon. its THIS MONDAY, the 14th OF JANUARY. yeah. contact me or her if you would like to come. ((:

My Love.

Hey people.

i've been rather bothered about something recently. well, not really recently. more of just today and yesterday. i know sometimes i might not seem like the best person to do things. i might seem a bit less perfect than many others. i might be a lot more unique, different than others, but thing is, i dont really want you to like me that way. if you like me that way, let it be. the world isnt perfect and i dont blame anyone for its imperfectness. sometimes, i wonder if it was meant to be? if this was supposed to happen? if the only thing you said was not to come true, and on the contrary, be the exact opposite..?

i'm not complaining about my life. i'm just hoping that my plight would change. if you think thats the same, then change that mentality of yours because your maturiy doesnt measure up to mine, so dont even bother wondering whats on my mind. i'm not worried about my life. i'm worried what happens to those around me when they realise that i've been hit by this huge rock and i'm not like i used to be. will i be all alone?

i dont know. sometimes people do things without meaning it. sometimes, people say things without it coming from their heart. sometimes people think they're the most superior of all. they think they're the best. that they fit the most appropriately. but newsflash, thats not how things work. you know words without actions are void. everyting needs to be supported by an evidence. you cant make a sweeping statement and expect it to be trusted by everyone. i mean, we all know that a picture paints a thousand words. actions speak louder than words. thats a way of life. we judge people. can we choose not to? not really...

i'm listening to Love Song by Sara Bareilles. maybe its the groovy and very jazzy feeling to the song. maybe its because i need a remedy to this situation. i dont know. maybe i needa write myself a love song, a love story and fill my void in myself. maybe i just need someone to throw my love to. i cant deal with this like there's nothing going on. if i feel cold, thats the way it is. i cant ACT as if i'm being all-so-loved by everyone. maybe the world doesnt recognise such emotions on a daily personal basis. because you probably dont even know me? for goodness sake. why is this world so calculative? sigh.

sometimes i think i'm such an asshole. sometimes i think that the only reason why i dont survive well is because of me. its not because of the other party. i'm a lousy person. i cant live my life well. i bother so many people. i'm hypocritical. i can advice people to do things, but i cant practice what i preach. hah. i dont know. its so ridiculous. a doctor cant save himself from cancer, but yet he advices his patients to not eat foods that are charred becuase they contain cancer triggering foods. silly. but that the way of life. but why dont doctors feel like me? hmmm. i dont even know why i'm critisizing doctors now. sigh.

on that last note, i just wana say that i'm not perfect. dont critisize my weakness. not now. i dont slap you in the face when youre sunburnt. i just want the world to know that my life isnt full. it isnt whole. i am shy of many things in life. its not wonderful to be alone in this world with figureheards. i really admire some of my friends. its so pathetic in my shoes. sigh. i dont even know what i am typing now. it just doesnt make sense. but anyhoots. this should be all there is for me to blow out. i watched The Perfect Man again. its so touching. Love is friendship on fire. wow. its really really sweet. anyways, thats all.

lotsa love!

The Word.

Life these days are honestly, so boring. i dont know what i'm doing nowadays at home. really. i mean other than watching movies online, listening and downloading songs, talking to kiewu or more of bitching. lol. rrarhhs. anyhoots. i dont even know why i'm saying all this on my blog.

i dont know if anyone bothers about my life. really. i am listening to This Is My Now by Jordin Sparks. i feel so over my spotlight. i feel like i'm passe. i feel like the novelty has completely run out. that the spark has not broken into a flame. i dont know who even reads my blog anymore. well, i cant blame anyone, because i've changed my address, so who the heck cares anyways.

right. anyhoots. i watched My Blueberry Nights and, i think that the movie is okay. i like the idea that its colourful. but its rather draggy, rather boring honestly. but i dont think its horrible. its interesting. and since Liyun loves the director, i guess that he must be given some credit for doing his FIRST ever english movie. ((:

i also watched Le Grand Chef, yes the korean one. i think its pretty good. it was touching. and quite good. i think its one of the better movies i've watched in recent times. LOL. anyhoots. i've got really nothing to do, so dont blame me for watching so many movies.. rights.

anyways. i havent been shopping for 2 days. to prove kiewu wrong, because i DIDNT SHOP TODAY. haha. so yeah. anyhows, sales are gonna end soon..so i better get my ass out there and shop before stocks get all cleared and sent to i dont know where. china? india? pakistan? or i dont know somewhere where there are BIG HUGE STORES and where the season is still in for them.

hmmm. i've run out of things to say. but i do wana add that my sister bought this cat, she's a persian. Her name's Duchess. and she's absolutely ADORABLE!! haha. yeaps.

to a certain someone:
please remember that you're not alone. as hard as this becomes, as difficult as it is. you know that we cannot run away from it. the only way to solve it is by facing it. know that you have to either get loved, or give up. its not as if we cn wait. its the hardest thing to do, but the best feeling will come after its done. really. and since its gone on for so long my dear, you know that you have to give up on it alrights. ((: my dear, remember that. its the most important. and really, ultimately dont do silly things okay!!

Lies

i just dont know what it is inside me that misses the object of disgust. ironic, yet unmistakeably true. a lie. a life that has been tricked. a truth laid above a lie. a piece of mind setback by animosity. antagonist. narcissist. provocatively spiteful. your words are like a double-edged sword. your mind in a deluge of vile images. they unkonwingly pierce thy heart. a rule unsurpassed. a route closed by mind. a heart broken by intelligence. a life, ended by love.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

these are the 4 pictures i've edited so far from my HK trip. i know, should've started and posted them earlier, but anyway, lets not complain for they are here.!!

this first pic was taken near the hotel. the hotel was really nice. we had the view of Kowloon right out of our window, which was met by the sea. and of course, the mist above it. it was beautiful.






No, i edited it. thats why it looks really misty. but, i mean, owning a yacht in singapore is so costly, so this Heaven idea, comes with 2 meanings - wealthy living and a destination full of relaxation and simplicity, as shown by the calm waters.







This was taken at Tsim Sha Tsui (is that the sp?) and the LV shop was upgrading. so this is the new shop currently being built. it probably would house 4 levels. ((: yippie! hahaha. Hence, the name, shopping paradise.






This was taken in the hotel lobby. we (my dad and i) were waiting for his friend to arrive, so yeah. i named it In My Darkness as it seemed perfect to suit my current mood. but anyways. i hope that you like the pictures. i will admit, its the first time i've edited pictures with wordings. yeah. haha.





thank you kiewu for recommending me the software. and i hope you like the pics!! ((: do tag and leave a comment alrightys! haha. yeahs.

Updates!

Hey people.
ITS FRIDAY!

anyways. i shall relate to you my experiences in terms of music interests and movies encounters shortly below. i feel that its a must since i'm NOT GOING TO SCHOOL ((: hahahahhaha. 

okays. latest movies such as AVP2. well i feel that it wasnt fantastic. in fact, i disliked it. i'll give it a 3.5/5. its nothing fantastic. more of bloody, gory. the first one was much better.but now i know why they rated it NC16. thats to the bloodiness and gore and violence. i mean the pregnant mothers part was SICK! and the whole children's cots too. i mean eww. anyhoots. AVP2 wasnt very good in conclusion. 

Across The Universe. i wonder who actually would watch it other than me and Weijin. It was a boring movie to weijin cuz he didnt understand the whole plot. The movie is actually about the Beatles. (yes the band The Beatles, and not the beetle.)and it symbolises their whole break-up issue. it is actually a meaningful movie, but it gets weird at times. probably attracts and proposes to a different audience. not the ones like us, i suppose. i'll give it a 3/5 because it wasnt fully impressive, but very well portrayed. 

I Am Legend was a rather mundane movie. did i review this before? it was kinda... boring. cuz the centre of attention is always Will Smith, and it kinda gets boring after a while of swinging golf clubs and bathing the dog and hunting for deer. LOL. the vampires were really weird. and it should've been rated as an NC16 movie instead. this kinda movie needs more substance. it lacked that. i would give it a 4/5 as i think that it was better than AVP2 yea. 

i also watched Good Luck Chuck online. it was really good. Singapore rates it R21 because of the nudity. i tink the story is quite touching actually. the last part, when Dane Cook's character goes into the _____ to ask Jessica Alba's character to _______ is really sweet and yeah. i loved it. i would give this movie a 5/5. ((:

In Addition, i watched The Heartbreak Kid online too, aslo an R21 movie because of nudity and strong sexual acts(i think). It was a rather slow paced movie(i know,ironic). maybe it was cuz i was tired. anyways. it was alright. i'd give it a 4.5/5 rating because it was really touching at the end. it is subtle in its hilariousness . yeah. 



Song updates. 
still jiving to Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. but i'm also listening to Breathless by Shayne Ward. its a rather cheesy song, but the tune is nice, and you realise that its very close to your heart. ((: Change by the Sugababes is new too. its an alright song. Buckcherry's new song, Sorry, is a rather interesting song too. i think i could like it. ((:



thats about all. i shall post some of my HK pics up, and thanks to Kiewu who taught me how to edit them. alrights. i think that should be all for now. ((:

goodbye from me today!

2nd Day of New Year

it was the second day of this WONDEROUS (note sarcasm) new year and i have much to say today. it has been rather rough a start.

many students like normal students did, returned to school for lessons. be it Secondary Schools, Primary Schools and Junior Colleges. anyways. matter of fact is that i did not return to any. so i'm a free person now. however, it didnt really work out well for my today. 

i went back to school(QWSS) to collect my good progress award, and erms. there was a cock-up. that idiotic Mr Gan. what a temperamental sucker he is. threw this tantrum at me. who the eff knows that i needed to bring the effing letter? did the letter say "bring this for identification purpose" i mean work with the freaking conditions for goodness sakes. besides, we waited like 50 mintues for him to finish his phone conversation and his little chat with the VPadmin. i dont think thats the right way to treat people who waited so freaking long for an old man... what a whore. 

and then, wj and i cabbed to town to UOB bank. yeah. got the TX card too. thank you kiewu and sylv for recommending. (: anyways. the bank thing ended. no problems. and then weijin and i went to his agent thing. yeah. and i found out the different interesting routes to take in order to do Law(degree) and so i decided that i would return home and discuss with my dad.  and then weijin and i went to meet shu ya. we went to sakae for sushi dinner. and we just mopped around until we ended up at cold rock in holland. i was really tired by then. i had told my dad i needed to talk to him,so we left at like 10.30 and i arrived home.

i talked to my dad. and kinda got into this huge verbal fight with him. i was so frustrated. he wasnt even listening to me. and now, i've lost my voice and i'm quite devastated. i mean my options are so limited. i dont wana do poly, i dont wana go JC, i cant do foundation year in any country. funds funds my ass funds. i was just so sad and taken aback. i mean its so ridiculous. i may sound unreasonable now, but when i give you every single detail, you'll realise that i wasnt the one being unreasonable at all. its more of my DAD. sigh. i really had a rough day. 

JJC has also been calling me. such a pain in the ass. i mean, obviously i'm not gonna pay 70 bucks for orientation. i DONT wana stay over, and i am NOT interested in going to a JC and get my ass stressed out more than i can handle in good time for Law Courses. did you know in order to get into a good Uni for Law, you need like 2A's and 1B. you know how hard that is? its not easy. trust me. look at those struggling with their A's and you'll understand how stressful, how difficult this is. sigh. 

i'm at no point to even think what i can do. i'm caught up, caught in a spot, in a dilemma. i dont know what i can even do now. sigh. my dad is being so un-cooperative and i dont even know how to deal with anything now. sigh. anyways. i've been boring you guys out with my rants. 

2008 started out rough. i hope it gets better. bitter before sweet. i hope that honey comes soon. i'm really needing it to brighten my life up. its getting so tiring without even working or anything. 

i shall blog again. thank you for tagging! and thank you for reading this absolutely horrendously long and boring post.
