We have to commit a mistake to know that it is a mistake. If we didn't go ahead to do it, we'll go through life wondering whether it really was a mistake or the door to an entirely new world. So if you ever regret a decision, just be glad that you know for sure that it is a mistake and not an unopened pot of gold.

Snuggled up in my bed, warm and comfy, I feel safe in my recluse. No longer insecure, I feel brave enough to take on the world.

I don't want to leave this sanctuary as the world outside is dark and treacherous. I feel swallowed up and spat out on a daily basis. 19 days could feel like 19 years!

I pray that these 19 days will fly by and I can be a free spirit once again. The harsh realities of the working world and reality itself is wearing me out; tearing me apart.

Today I received a piece of news, a piece of news that shook my world. For a minute or two, my blood literally ran cold. Though on hindsight, it shouldn't surprise me really, but I guess it was too sudden.

In short today was a very dreary day and I sort of got myself into more shit at work. Why am I swimming in shit on a daily basis?

Arghhhh.

On nicknames and affectionate terms

2010-06-12T09:48:00.002+08:00

Nicknames are also known as meaningful replacements for birth names we give to friends in an attempt to bridge the distance between individuals. It also represents the desire to be closer to someone.

Nicknames can also be names we give ourselves because our birth names are FML-worthy, or it could be a result of this desire to break out of who we innately are.

So which category do you belong to?

It doesn't matter though, because this post is not about the deep psychological link between inter/intra personal relationships and nicknames. It's much more superficial than that. It's about the type of nicknames people adopt and the first impressions that people have of them as a consequence. (Or, I despise you because you named yourself 'Angelababy'.)

The choosing of a nickname tells a lot about yourself. I regret to say this but years ago I was (at one time) a 'hiieexx omgzxxx i amzzz boredzzz' sms-er, and (at another very short period of time, like one day) a Japanese accent mimicking, (for 2 years or so) cutesy-pose neoprint addict. As a consequence of this past self, I'm stuck with a hotmail address that I really hesitate to give out now. (How do you run away from your past?!)

Well I do have other less embarrassing e-mail addresses now but it's too much trouble to import contact lists and tell the whole world who you are and so on.

Well anyway, I had this classmate in secondary school whom I had always thought was cool. She's pretty but has this heck-care boyish style that I really admired. And then she moved on to school, leeched on to a boyfriend and changed her FB name to "(some 'cute' fruit that I shouldn't name) (surname)". I was this tiny bit away from fainting when I saw it.

And I remember on the very first day of Biz Law tutorial back in sem 1, some guy introduced himself as 'Apple' and I believe I cringed. Badly.

Ditto whenever I watch 'Wo Cai' on Channel U. I think I'm down with some chronic dislike for over-aged cute. I have no issues with cute kids and animals but I think when you hit fifteen, cute is no longer a prerogative. Cute, when attached to a very non-cute you, becomes gag-worthy.

Cute is so overrated.

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

Two Seas

2010-06-11T12:08:00.002+08:00

Another one by Dr James Dobson!

TWO SEAS
Geography can sometimes teach us valuable lessons about human nature. There are two bodies of water within the borders of the nation of Israel, both supplied by the Jordan River. The Sea of Galilee in the north is fresh and is abundant with life. Surrounding it is lush vegetation of every kind and birds build their nests along its banks. Children are often seen playing along its shores. But not far away in the southern region of Israel is another sea that is dark and devoid of life. Very little vegetation even grows along its banks. It's called the Dead Sea for a very good reason.

What's the difference between these two bodies of water? Well for every bit of moisture that flows into the Sea of Galilee, another flows out. The receiving and giving go on in equal measure. But the Dead Sea lies at the end of the Jordan River and every drop it gets, it keeps. It is therefore stagnant and polluted.

It seems to me that people are like these two seas in Israel. Some are generous with the blessings they've been given, and their lives are fresh and abundant and meaningful. But others are selfish and they tend to become stagnant with the passage of time. Indeed it's been said, there are two kinds of peopl ein the world: The takers and the givers. The takers eat well, but the givers sleep well.

Facing the Winter

2010-06-11T11:54:00.004+08:00

Came across this wonderful article in a Today column. It's both a beautiful piece of poetry and marriage inspiration. (Well as I'm happily unmarried, it touched me more in the former sense.)

By Dr James Dobson

FACING THE WINTER
My mother and father were married for 43 years in one of the most beautiful, loving relationships the world has ever seen. When my mum turned 50, my father was beginning to think about the passage of time. And he wrote a wonderful poem on that day that he called, simply, Your Birthday. This is what he said:

The whole world singing, now that Spring has come.
I saw a robin in the morning sun.
Among the pale green leaves and bursting buds, I heard His talk.
But it is Autumn, where we walk.

'Tis true for us, the Summer too is gone.
Now, whiplash winds arise, and further on
the ice and sleet and cold and grim assault to pierce us through.
Does Fall in Spring-time frighten you?

Impotent shines the April sun so fair,
to melt the wisps of frost within your hair.
My dear I know you feel the threatening gloom,
but I'm with you and hand in hand, we'll face the winter too.

The winter did come for this man and woman, and they're now both gone. But my dad kept his promise and they faced those difficult years together. Even the ageing process is easier, when it's experienced in the context of love.

On scrutinizing chinese lyrics

2010-06-08T13:45:00.001+08:00

"这风景如画
院子里花洒
等最美的晚霞
等故事长大

用手中的流沙画一个你呀
曾说过的永远我们一定不会擦"

Lyrics like that can easily win Mr. Fang the best lyricist award. But why does he have to go on?

我对著蝉认真说话
(Don't you have friends?)

因为大声说爱你而沙哑
(This is just cheesy.)

因为我爱你呀
(Ditto.)

擦美美的趾甲
(This is a failure of an example for writing imagery.)

不论多大风沙
路多分岔我一样找到你呀
(Just screams cheesy.)

But ultimately here's a lesson all guys should learn:

不摘不属于自己的花

I have no idea how to translate this so for those who don't understand, go ask your friends. It loosely translates as don't seduce girls who do not belong to you. Has more oomph in chinese.

Enjoy the song!

Money is not the root of evil

2010-06-07T15:16:00.002+08:00

Humanity is.

Money is ultimately an inanimate object. How can it be evil? Why do we blame our earthly desires and immoral thoughts on something that didn't, and can never, even do anything?

Some say all human beings are born good and kind. I beg to differ. I say that most human beings are born evil and selfish. The knowledge and desire to do good is cultivated through learning and epiphanies. They do not come included in the stork's bundle.

When we were born, we did not know love beyond love for ourselves. We were selfish little bastards and bitches who wailed at every bit of discomfort and dissatisfaction. We scream when we are hungry, not caring about whether our mothers have already eaten. We shriek when we're annoyed that there is noise in the background and we can't sleep.

As infants and toddlers, how many innately (the keyword is innately) care that our wailing is causing others a whole lot of discomfort and inconvenience. And if we don't, how can those dumbass philosophers say that we are born good and kind?

Some say that the innocence of children is precious but innocence is an excuse for and immaturity. Innocence can be loosely translated as the inability to consciously harm people. I doubt that children are so saintly that they refuse to consciously harm people. It's just that they are not smart and powerful enough to do so. I think we should not give credit to those who have no choice but to remain harmless. Instead, we should give praise to those who have the ability to crush the world with their thumb but choose to do good with that power, like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres and Obama.

We were all born innocent, and at the same time immature. Though some (like annoying aunt) remain immature, most of us learn to be more socially and morally aware. Cynics call this act of learning and adapting hypocrisy but I call it the journey to being a better and bigger person. When people tell you something that is against your values, shut up and listen. Maybe someone can say something that will change your perception forever. And at the same time, you learn to be more accepting of people who are different.

So where does hypocrisy come in? Most of us, though we don't show our disagreement to the person whom we first talk to about the matter, will go to a third person to re-evalute (or rather, gossip) about the same matter. This time without having to deal with the sensitivity from the person who is directly involved, our opinions get more emotionally-fueled and stronger words are used. To the layman, this is the distasteful act of gossiping. But in fact, this is a learning experience, the process of coming up with five other angles to look at the same topic.

Innocence is not the basis of doing good. Innocence is almost equivalent to ignorance. Wisdom, and the ability to remain good in the face of evil, is the true nirvana.

What the fish

2010-06-07T14:50:00.007+08:00

A little known fact about me: I have a perverse love for fish.

I haven't given this much thought until lately (i.e. today). As I stood in front of the aquarium in Suntec City just hours ago, oohing and aahing over the pretty fish, I realised it's quite sick to find something cute and pretty and, at the same time, feel like eating it.

Can you imagine it?

"Oooh, that puppy is so cute. I want to eat it!"

"Taeyeon is so pretty. She must be delicious."

That is just wrong.

(Honestly, I can't remember how Taeyeon of SNSD looks like. It's just that everyone is so obsessed with her, it seems appropriate to use her as an example.)

Somehow I find this fish particularly endearing. And interesting. Maybe it has to do with the way said fish's mouth is perpetually in that pouty shape. Kinda reminds me of someone. (Michelle *cough* Mak)
And the colours of this fish is just damn cool. Looks like Batman's pet, no?

This picture has no significance. I just thought it looked nice.

Nothing wrong being fascinated with fish. But the problem comes in when you eat Aston's grilled fish with herbs right after that:

And Aston's at Suntec ran out of baked potatoes! How could they? It is unacceptable that they did not have a year's supply stashed in their store!

And for the very first time in the history of my dining in Aston's, the food arrived before the consumer did. I took this while waiting for lunch buddy.

Took a lot of willpower to not 'kope.'

Now that lunch's over, I'm sitting in Starbucks (again), drinking Mocha frap (yet again) and watching the rain.

I'm fully appreciating the little joys of life today: watching fish swim back and forth, blogging in my favourite coffee place and admiring the way the 'prepubescent' (okay maybe young would be a better word) trees sway to the light breeze and the way little puddles of rain are forming on the tiled floor.

3 more hours to while away before I'm due for my dinner appointment!

My 7th June 2010

2010-06-07T00:31:00.002+08:00

It's 12:31 AM, one hour and thirty minutes past my bed time, and my hair is still wet. It's almost like a punishment for my unwillingness to hop into the bathroom.

So while I wait for my hair to dry out because I'm just too lazy to pick up a hair dryer, I shall blog the conventional way- blogging about my day.

Today I read a chapter from the networking book that Good Aunt lent me. I learnt that it doesn't matter what story you're telling. What matters more is the way you tell the story. So let me tell you the story of my 7th June 2010. (I had to check the year to be sure. After year 2000, somehow every year seems to be the same and I just lost track.)

7th June 2010. What a special day! It's special because this day will most certainly not come again until apocalypse hits and the entire system of space and time that we know of has to be 're-formatted'. Ditto 8th June 2010, 9th June 2010 and especially 10th June 2010 which is the roomie's birthday. Not that this paragraph has any significance. It's more of a timely reminder to those who -lord forbid!- have forgotten the princess' birthday.

I realised I tend to exaggerate a little when I write and the roomie sort of sounds larger than life. I never meant to make her sound eccentric but she's really the second cutest person I've met. (The first being Miss Cheryl Hanbaobao-Lim.)

Crap! I realised I was supposed to be talking about my day and not my roomie and hall neighbour. That's me- the digresser. I get so carried away sometimes. One thing leads to another and after 5 minutes, I realised my current topic is no longer relevant to the topic I started out on. And the word 'carried' just reminds me of Carrie Bradshaw. SATC anyone?

Anyway, I slept in today. It's a guilty pleasure- and I mean it. Pleasurable because I've had 3 out of 5 days of 9 AM classes last sem and it just sucks to crawl out of bed when it's cool and comfy and it feels like overnight you've fused together with your blanket and sheets... Well guilty because I've always had something against wasting the morning away.

Hey this is getting boring. How do people blog about what they did for the day? I expect no one will actually read this because it's long, draggy and boring but I'm still going to continue because I'm going to finish what I started! (See, I'm demonstrating strength of character.)

Had FOC programming subcomm meeting and OMG CRAP I forgot about something I was supposed to do. Can't finish this experimental post- good riddance!- better finish up proper work.

Till the next time!

Boy saved by Croc shoes

A young boy was saved by his Croc shoes after receiving an electric shock from a faulty hairdryer.

Three-year-old Harley Sutton-Dormer was in a swimming pool changing room with his mother when he picked up the appliance, which sent a bolt of electricity from his arm down his body.

The boy suffered burns from the shock but doctors believe his plastic shoes acted as insulators and saved his life by stopping the electricity passing into the ground.

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

If you're really so ill, Kim Jong Il, why don't you just die?

2010-06-04T11:11:00.003+08:00

Not that I've read that Kim Jong Il has been ill lately, but I wrote that cus it rhymes. Granted, die does not rhyme with ill, but if I used 'lay still' (which would have the same meaning with die), it would turn out sounding pretty cheesy.

Anyway, I woke up from a nightmare, in the middle of the night, feeling helpless and freaked out. I actually dreamt that the hotly discussed World War III (according to the Doomsday clock, it's 6 minutes to midnight) had finally been launched and countries are bombing each other with atomic bombs and even Singapore became a target. In my dream, the perpetrator was the U.S.

After about 5 minutes of calming myself down, I managed to persuade myself that it's just a dream and it's not going to happen. I finally woke up at 7.30 am, had breakfast with Mom, shopped at NTUC, came home and decided to pick up Today.

Then I saw it.

United States Might Send Aircraft Carrier to Korea

The United States is considering dispatching the aircraft carrier... to where North Korea allegedly sank a South Korean warship.

The deployment of the nuclear-powered carrier, one of the world's largest warships, would represent a major show of force by the US, which is seeking to blunt aggression from North Korea.

FML.

(The last part's written by me, btw, the FML.)

Why do my dreams of meeting Taiwanese pop idols never come true and THIS has to come true? Well partly anyway. I hope my hair will not all fall out because of atomic radiation like the Japanese singer we read about in History class and my child will not be born retarded because subatomic particles can penetrate wombs. :(

:(

It's a sad, sad day.

I think the only thing to do now is for the UN to evacuate all good and kind citizens from North Korea and house them in the U.S. (Oprah Winfrey can create another Angel Lane for them!), and leave Kim Jong 'Sickly' and his ka kias in North Korea, plant a self-detonating lethal atomic bomb underground, place a glass dome a la Simpsons over North Korea and tada, problem solved.

Great plan. Let me e-mail Obama about it.

I just got dumped on the phone in 80 seconds

2010-06-03T12:00:00.002+08:00

(Please watch this. This is why I love Taylor Swift.)

Well, not by a guy, but by a company.

Technically it is a guy since the person on the other end of the phone is definitely of the male breed. After I hung up, I felt defeated, deflated and then amused by how much the rejection of my internship application sounds like being ditched.

I applied for an internship with said Advert company bout 2 months back and didn't receive any news until a few days ago. AG (Adv Guy), with his very sexy accent, called and said they received my e-mail and was wondering how long I could work blah blah and promised to send me an e-mail about the interview details soon.

I waited for like 3 days and didn't get anything.

So this morning, after being disappointed by the state of e-mail-lessness, I decided to call AG back. I hesitated for damn long, not knowing what to say cus the previous phone conversation didn't go very well. I was in full on couch potato mood and that is an entirely separate set from my interview-prepared eloquent and chirppy self.

Let's backtrack abit to 3 days ago. After not looking at my phone for a couple of hours, I realised I had 5 messages and 4 missed calls. 4 missed calls from the same unknown number so I figured that it could be important. (But at the same time, I had this nagging thought that it could be MLM weirdo who texted me again 'hi....how r u......?' The first message that I saw after I touched down in Singapore. -_-) So consequentially, I was pretty rude when I called. Okay not rude, but more poker-voice. "Hi, did someone call?"

So anyway, here's how today's conversation went.

*Ring*

*Silence*

AG: Hello?

Me: Oh hi! This is Lynn. I called to ask about my blah blah blah blah

AG: Oh. You mentioned you can work until the end of August?

Me: Yeah! Blah blah blah blah blah So I was wondering if there were any changes in the hiring of interns or that I should probably wait a little longer for the e-mail.

AG: Oh about that. We're actually considering hiring this other person. If it doesn't get through, I'll call you back?

Me: Oh. Okay. Thanks.

*Gloom*

And the line went dead.

I just got dumped. On the phone. In 80 seconds.

Hi Taylor, we finally have something in common. I should probably dye my hair blond and get a guitar.

Self delusion is a building block of happiness

2010-06-02T20:39:00.002+08:00

I think Taiwanese people are, in general, happier people than the Americans.

Just look at the number of people reported to have been shot dead in school, listen to lyrics and watch a variety of sitcoms and dramas.

(Writing about shooting incidences will require that I google to get my facts right. It's the holidays and my grades in COM202 dictates that I am information illiterate, so I shan't bother.)

Anyway, if you're familiar with the Taiwanese pop scene, you'll notice that most of the songs are upbeat, champion monogamy and talk about being in love.

Most of you should be familiar with American songs. I bet most of you should have noticed that the songs (lately) sound mechanical, champion cheating (e.g. Cookie Jar) and talks about being in bed. (Too many to be quoted.)

I listened to Stan by Eminem on the way home just now. It talks about a suicidal male who tried to kill his girlfriend (who was incidentally pregnant with his child) and killed himself too. I quote Eminem on this, 'How fucked up is you [American pop]?'

In Taiwanese idol dramas, there usually consists of a male protagonist, a female protagonist, shitty life, the eventual miracle of true love and a happily ever after.

In American sitcoms, there are usually a bunch of people who date and bed a larger bunch of people, break up, and the cycle continues. True love is overrated and happily ever after occurs when couples divorce and are offered a new lease of life.

Granted, life is never the bed of roses Taiwanese scriptwriters want us to believe in. But life is built on a foundation of white lies. If you can make yourself a happier person by engaging in minor self delusions, who's stopping you?

This coming week

2010-05-25T03:25:00.003+08:00

Last week had been an action-packed week. This week, things will not be slowing down any bit. The whole of Monday was spent at Sentosa for Seniors' Camp, getting a little dirty, laughing at people who are damn dirty and later get dirtier because said damn dirty people are unhappy that you're clean by comparison (hint: Miss Ow Yan Lan).

In a few hours time, I'll be jetting off to the land of my favourite soap operas. If I don't come back, it probably means that I've met one of my favourite HK actors, fallen in love with each other and decided to get married. Keep your fingers crossed, guys.

After that, I'll probably visit beautiful fake Venice in Macau and worship the very floor that Kim Hyun Joong (JiHoo from Boys Over Flowers) had trodden on during the filming of BOF. I don't care what anyone says but he pwns Lee Min Ho. Period.

So after a few days in heaven, I'll be headed off to the land of ATs to visit my very dear comrades. I remember the last time I was in Guangzhou, I had to make use of all my Chinese oral skills to converse with the dermatologist during facial. Thankfully I have decent Mandarin. I'm hoping to buy a copy of Mao's Little Red Book so I can have a good read and a good laugh every night.

And so I probably won't be blogging for about a week unless I'm damn free and energetic. But do keep me in your prayers that I'll meet at least one HK star, because I don't know what else to look forward to. Well, that or you can pray that I get employed soon, but the former is definitely more interesting.

(It is bloody 3:38AM.)

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

Okay anyway, while the smokers huddled together for puffs, I struggled to find an alternative to ensure my fair share of skiving off. Routine trips to the temporary toilet stalls proved to be unsatisfying so I went around taking pictures although I wasn't really supposed to.

Here are a few of my favourite shots:

Check out the full album on facebook!

Though working for the event (in a bid to canvass for D&D) nearly killed me, there's something strangely exciting about being near the ocean and big ships. Like how I always unbashedly insist, I must have been a mermaid my past life.

Okay new goal in life: to be able to afford a yatch when I'm forty.

Anyway, while I tended the stick-on tattoo stall today, I began chatting with this middle-aged woman. Apparently, she works for the navy. We had a lengthy conversation and she was like trying to pull me to join the Navy.

And I seriously thought about it.

Honestly, if I were to ever join the public service, it would be the Navy. Before today, I haven't really given it much thought but I have always had a thing for nautical themes, water, ships, naval divers (or rather *cough* naval diver) and... Spongebob Squarepants.

On a totally irrelevant note, these couple of months have been very 'eventful or rather FML' for me. It made me realise that I'm far too young and inexperienced to know who I am and what I'm meant for. At age 20, if someone tells you that he already has his whole future planned out, he's probably lying or a shithead, for the only constant in life is change.

That's the motto I live by. Every single day of your life, be prepared for your life to be flipped inside out and spun 180 degrees, because you never know if something groundbreaking could happen.

As the saying goes, 'never say never or you'll drink from that river'.

You take a walk from your house to the MRT station and you see a guy standing beside you at the traffic junction, he could be the one who's going to donate his kidney to you after he dies.

Or that girl who cut your queue in Macdonalds, she could end up being your future wife.

The chances of those coming true are slim, yes. But not entirely impossible, no?

Sorry for digressing. But anyway, before my birthday (yes 28th June), I'll come up with a one-year plan. I'll state 10 things that I must complete in the 12 months that follows. Friends, please nag at me and scream at me to make sure that I complete all 10 in 12 months! :D

That should be all today. I'll blog more when I'm less tired and less smelly.

MLM companies

2010-05-15T10:09:00.002+08:00

In every era, there will be some people, things or organisations who can somehow be so irksome that they are frowned upon by the majority.

In the past, there were Hitler, Stalin and small pox.

In our time, we have Osama, Bush and MLM companies.

I don't understand how MLM companies continue to survive despite their bad rep. Previously, my stand was quite neutral. For me, MLM companies were basically the butt of jokes. They get their 5 minutes of notorious fame on TV occassionally, I get a good laugh and that's it. No bad blood.

But that was until one day, I got a call offering me a job. When I asked about how they got my number, the highly unprofessional recruiter refused to give me a concrete answer. He tried to smoke me by saying how it was in the database and it was given by his colleague and I don't know what else he said.

(But I have a strong hunch that it has to do with the jar of marbles I counted in Can A. Lesson of the day: Don't trust random people who go around with a jar of marbles.)

So in a nutshell, he bombarded me with texts and calls when I told him I was no longer interested in the job. And when I didn't reply, he insisted that we can at least be friends and asked, 'u gt fb?'

Venture Era, please train your recruiters properly and if you think such a method works, please target stupider people, thanks.

To find out more about their bad rep, feel free to google 'Venture Era scam'. I didn't even know it was a scam company until I typed in 'Venture Era' in google and the drop down list immediately showed 'Venture Era scam'.

Seriously, MLM companies, get a life. Oh wait, you already do, your life is to destroy lives.

Birthday press conference

2010-05-15T10:05:00.003+08:00

I find it funny how similar 21st birthday parties and press conferences are. Huge crowds, flashing lights and addressing the 'audience'.

Oh and I still can't understand why anyone likes vodka.

Music & Lyrics

2010-05-13T23:29:00.004+08:00

Impromptu K session today.

I noticed how most songs revolve around love, romance, being ditched and was starting to get a little put off (just a tad) when I came back from the toilet and heard Lisa screaming (it's somewhat of a rock song) a line repetitively: 我爱我的国家!!!

(It's a song by Jackie Chan's son. It's so sad not many people remember his name. He's like always known as Jackie Chan's son or '成龍的儿子' (Tan L, 2010).

It reminded me of the communist song I first heard in History class and later in Mao's Last Dancer- 东方红 (The East is Red). That is another hilarious song.

It is rather strange how after so many compulsory National Day celebrations, us Singaporean kids still feel nauseated at the thought of being patriotic.

Anyway, I wonder why there exists such a limited variety of themes in Mandopop songs. I'm not saying that I appreciate suicidal/homicidal and satanic songs that sometimes appear in Western Pop but I'm talking innocent, happy songs like 'Fireflies'. Even 'Vanilla Twilight', a song about break-up, sounds so happy. I love you OWLCITY! :D

I think song lyrics are highly influential. They possess the ability to 'mess with' someone's thoughts. I vaguely recall there's this song called 'Black Sunday' (right, right?). Many people committed suicide after listening to that song. And when I'm heartbroken, there are some songs that can just turn on the waterworks. Or when I'm feeling helpless and lost, some songs provide recluse and a general sense of direction.

Music and lyrics are everywhere. And we need them to be so!

Sandcastles in the sand

2010-05-12T21:58:00.004+08:00

Life and memories are pretty much like sand. Everyone that comes in leaves his or her foot-print behind. If the person does not continue walking on the sand, the foot-prints get erased in time. Even so, the arrangement of the sand particles will no longer be the way it was.

If you walk in, please don't walk out.
If you walk out, damn it, don't ever come back in.

Wish you were here

Gills for birthday present!

2010-05-12T17:07:00.002+08:00

My birthday is coming soon. Can someone please buy me a set of gills?

I went swimming today and realised that I have the stamina of... Lynn. (Yeah I can't think of any animal that has worse stamina than me.) Considering how much I like water and being in water, I guess a set of gills will serve me better than my lungs (which somehow only manages to take in a disappointingly miniscule amount of air each time I breathe).

I'm disappointed in you, lungs.

2010-05-12T16:36:00.002+08:00

I felt if I was in way too deep, guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running a long long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you, more than you know.

50 First Dates

2010-05-11T12:08:00.003+08:00

I just watched '50 first dates'. I know I should have watched it a thousand years ago but still, wow, it's so touching!

(And Adam Sandler is really cute!)

I've been warned that watching that show could possibly turn on the waterworks but I didn't think I would cry because you see, I kind of have the 'retarded reaction' thing when I watch movies. I catch everything a tad late.

There's nothing extraordinary about the movie but I did learn a valuable lesson from the movie and that's nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it. Like how it seemed impossible to have a proper relationship with someone who suffers from Short Term Memory Loss but they got around it.

I shall keep that in mind about the job situation. Any day now an Ad company will call me and offer me a thousand dollar paying internship.

Think positive.

Vanilla Twilight

2010-05-11T10:33:00.001+08:00

Beautiful lyrics. :)

The stars lean down to kiss you,
And I lie awake I miss you,
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'll send a postcard to you dear,
Cause I wish you were here.

I watch the night turn light blue,
But it's not the same without you,
Because it takes two to whisper quietly,
The silence isn't so bad,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly.

I'll find opposing new ways,
Though I haven't slept in two days,
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
But drenched in Vanilla twilight,
I'll sit on the front porch all night,
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.

As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight.
I'll think of you tonight.

When violet eyes get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
But I swear I won't forget you,
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past,
I'd whisper in your ear,
Oh darling I wish you were here.

Today. Milestone day.

2010-05-10T22:37:00.002+08:00

Today is not just another ordinary day. It is a day of milestones.

Firstly, I realised that there is a four-storey Forever 21 outlet at Somerset 313. Not that I'm a big F21 fan or anything but from the reaction Nicole, Esther and Xiangyun had when I told them I haven't stepped into that F21 outlet, I got the impression that it's going to be the eight wonder of the world.

(Oh and they have these really cute hats!)

Not that the piece of information is life-altering or anything but still, it's good to know.

Secondly, i actually sat through a communist-themed movie and didn't feel the need to just kill myself!

Ever since I read Animal Farm for lit class in Sec 2, I knew that there was no lost love between Stalin and I. My disdain for communism was further affirmed when I read about the cultural revolution. I constantly feel the urge to tear the two of them (Stalin and Mao) apart but then I'll remember that hey! They're already dead!

That's why when a certain COM205 group mate suggested we do a documentary feature on Communism, I wanted to die right there and then.

Well, despite my disdain for communism, 'Mao's Last Dancer' is a really good film. Dance, good looking females, awkward jokes and a male lead who looks like your friend, what's not to like? (The male lead does look abit like Sihan, doesn't he?)

After many paragraphs, I realised this post is getting kind of pointless. I should probably stop.

Nice tea!

I was too hungry in the beginning so I didn't manage to take pictures of the main dishes, and hence there are so many pictures of tea.

I have no idea what this is. But I ate alot. I should stop eating everything.

"Boy and girl? Are they sex?"

2010-05-09T18:48:00.003+08:00

This post is dedicated to all you FML fans out there and people who love to see others (well, namely me) caught in a awkward situation:

Remember the post where I said how I had to beat around the bush to explain the profession 'prostitution' to my 10 year old tutee? Guess I shouldn't have bothered.

Just yesterday, I was supposed to go to a house party after tuition so I brought along a couple of movies in my bag. They were 'Marley and Me' and '50 First Dates'. The tutee got distracted and asked me, "What are those?"

I said, "They are movies."

He said, "What is the movie about?"

"This is about a dog and this is about a guy and a girl."

He then dropped the bomb, "A guy and a girl? Are they sex?"

(I didn't bother to explain that that isn't the correct way of using the word.)

I sputtered and went, "What?! Who taught you that word?"

He continued, "My friends. They say it all the time. Sex sex sex sex sex."

I got majorly distraught. His mom already thinks that we have more conversations than work, I don't need her to know the content of our conversations.

The rest of the conversation was a blur. Mainly consisted of how I warned him not to use that word on his female friends (yes his friends use the word on girls all the time) and not to EVER use it on me.

Kids. I wonder what's next.

Up and away!

2010-05-08T12:20:00.000+08:00

Omg what is wrong with Brad Pitt? They look so cute together!

Oh and F.r.i.e.n.d.s is addictive!

I also got pleasant little surprises seeing Cole and Dylan Sprouse (Zack and Cody from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody) as Ben Geller and Emily Osment as, I have no idea who. They were so cute!

Watch if you are bored! But it's kinda like 'How I met Your Mother'. Good and bad. HIMYM is generally better in terms of script and actors (and of course fashion since Friends is so ancient) but 'Phoebe' is a very interesting character that is unique to Friends (there's no parallel in HIMYM) so that's the only good thing. Ross is just like Ted but uglier and gayer. Ditto Chandler to Marshall (and what kind of name is Chandler?), Joey to Barney, Monica and Lily. EVEN THE CALEFARES, MONA AND STELLA.

Shit, HIMYM is a copycat.

(I'll still prefer Barney to Joey though. Barney has my loyalty.)

Oh and HIMYM has no Hot-Brad-Pitt as guest star. Even if Brad Pitt is asked to appear on subsequent episodes, he's no longer hot so it's not the same.

Oh well.

Happy pill

2010-05-07T00:40:00.004+08:00

Everyone needs to have a happy pill.

What's a happy pill? It is a surefire way of cheering yourself up. Chocolates for some, Ben & Jerry's for others.

For me, I guess THE eyecandy works best. :) I do a bit of facebook stalking and I get cheered up instantaneously.

You should all have happy pills, whatever works for you!

(Because it's just too sad to be sad and life is too good to be wasted on being sad.)

Have a happy pill today!

(Sounds like some advertisement. Hahaha)

The Little Slut

2010-05-05T00:14:00.003+08:00

(Warning: Potentially inflammatory topic!)

Do we really have the complete freedom to do what we want, or is everyone of us answerable to social responsibility?

Imagine if we had unrestrained, complete freedom, there would be dead bodies and abandoned babies along the streets.

I know 12:23 AM is a weird time to be blogging about this, but this blog post is written with reference to the sexual immorality and ignorance of youngsters today.

Many live by the motto 'live today, screw tomorrow', but not many can afford the repercussions of it or have even thought about the possible effects of such a mentality.

Recently, I came to know of this underaged (and when I mean underaged, I mean that the girl is bloody 13 years old) couple who are having unprotected sex. I got enraged! They might think that this is their private bedroom business but it's really more than that.

On the topic of abortion, I belong more to the pro-lifers side. At the almost pre-pubescent age of 13, what choice do you have if you get pregnant? Breast-feed your baby during recess time? Abortion seems to be the only choice, and I firmly believe that no self-respecting, humane woman can part with her own baby without a certain amount of emotional turmoil.

In the highly unlikely event that you would want to give birth to the child, where do you go to? KK hospital? Your boyfriend will get charged and possibly jailed. Or would you go to some unorthodox sinseh?

Leaving pregnancy aside, does it even make logical sense for 13 year olds to be having sex? What are the chances of you marrying this guy you're seeing when you're 13? So are you about to have sex with every boyfriend after this and end up with HIV?

I don't know whether anyone has educated them about the dangers of having pre-marital sex at such a young age or whether their brains are so filled with fluff that they can't register.

Well maybe it's the age of MTV (and Lady Gaga) or maybe it could be information explosion that allows perpetrators of wrong values to poison the young's mind.

But remember, there must be merits to post-marital sex, if not, the act would not be championed by so many. (No, it's not just because we are prudish.) I think sex should always tie in with love. If sex had the sole meaning of physical gratification, how different are we from hamsters? Not very, I guess.

For most women, as far as I know of, sex is given as the gift of love. Some consent to having sex because their beloved demands. However, how sure are you that you love this man? You may be consumed with passion and infatuation now, but given some time, your passion might fade away and this cycle can repeat dozens of times before you finally find someone you can love for a long, long time. How many men have you slept with before 'him' then?

That's why marriage is a social construct put in place to govern this problem. Not that it's fool-proof, divorces do occur, but it's a guideline: If you love this man enough to marry him, you're probably ready to sleep with him.

I shall end my discourse here. I did not set out to write this post hoping to educate people, but more of a method for venting my frustration, so pardon my two cents worth.

True love and Aliens

2010-05-04T10:32:00.003+08:00

As different as they may seem, there is indeed a similarity between 'True Love' and Aliens. (According to me, at least.)

To simplify the entire argument, let's define both 'True Love' and 'Aliens'.

'True Love' is a dimension of affection that surpasses physical attraction, sexual and earthly desires, and an alien is a creature from outer space.

1. They are fantastical

I'm not saying that neither 'True Love' nor aliens exist, but they are often the underlying themes of literature, movies and novels. People love to read and write about what's absent in their lives. You don't see people writing and producing a film about going to the market and buying fish, do you?

Protagonist of a housewife: (in a dangerous tone) This salmon...

Villain of a fishmonger: (leaning closer, dangling the salmon alluringly) This salmon... is very nutritious.

2. How often do you meet one?

How often do you meet an alien and how often do you find true love? For most of us, never in our lives. Well and for those who do (either meet an alien or find their true love), they write a book about it. We all love having our five minutes of fame.

3. They defy logic

True love obviously defies logic. Which man whose cognitive system is fully functioning, would want to tie himself down to one woman and promise her an eternity of love? Yes, it happens, I'm sure, just not very often that's all. Maybe once every five thousand years? And aliens defy scientific logic as well. From primary school on, we all know that life can only exist on earth because of the atmosphere, amount of sunlight, blah blah (the boring stuff), and how life beyond earth doesn't exist because those cui-er planets don't fulfill the conditions, blah blah.

4. They cannot be proven false

This is self-explanatory. How do you even come up with a hypothesis to be debunked?

H: True love is bullshit.
H: Aliens don't exist.

5. It's an experience of a lifetime

Though it scares me thinking about the horror stories of extraterrestial abduction, it's quite cool in a way isn't it? I mean if you manage to come back alive, you can tell your friends (true friends who will believe you) about your awesome alien experience. It doesn't matter if strangers think you're bonkers. Write a good script of your AAE (awesome alien experience), produce a blockbuster and scam them all of their money. Actually I think James Cameron (Avatar & Titanic) will believe you anyway. Give yourself ten years and you'll probably be rolling in wads of cash.

Despite the similarities, I readily agree that I'm more likely to encounter an alien than true love in this lifetime.

Therefore,
I BELIEVE IN ALIENS!

(Okay this post is written for the sole purpose of relieving myself of boredom and relieving you of boredom since exams are over and all. Please, if you ever end up dating an alien, don't blame it on me.)

Beautiful Morning

2010-05-03T10:21:00.002+08:00

I woke up bright and early. Things are piling up in the room and I have to clear out some space in preparation of the junk I'll bring back from hall tonight. That's right! Today is the official 'moving-out' day! I hope I don't take too long!

I realised that in my bid to clear out the excessive still-wearable clothes to evacuate my room a little, I forgot to clear out my collection of children's books. Though I mainly use them to educate my tutees, I do erhem, read them ocassionally.

I revisit my roots! If not for Enid Blyton, I might not be able to write a grammatically correct sentence today.

Back to packing. Nothing much is happening today. Doesn't make sense to blog much about packing (which I already did). =/ The irony. Okay bye!

2010-05-02T21:48:00.002+08:00

Maybe we all need a lesson or two to grow out of our naivity. Maybe we all need to get into the ER once or twice to learn how to walk further away from the road.

Maybe we all need to be jaded, then we'll be safe.

Met up with the girls for post-exams celebration. It has been a ritual since 2003. Other than the fact that we have slightly more money now, and our tastes have become slightly more atas, the celebration was pretty routine.

Good food, good company, good singing (and bad singing from me) and an overdose of toxic gossip (mainly from Empress Dowager Chong).

Too much to say, too much that words cannot convey:

My squid ink pasta

Good stuff but don't eat it on a first date like *cough* the roomie *cough*.

Escargots with a tsunami of garlic butter.

Beware of pungent breath though.

FIREFLIES- OWL CITY

You would not believe your eyes
If 10 million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air,
And leave teardrops everywhere,you'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock hop beneath my bed,
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomaniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate good-byes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake (when I'm asleep)
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are a bursting at the seams

Seldom do friendships last forever.

But it's good that way.

We learn to focus on the now rather than the forever, because we know we cannot take for granted that there will be a forever.

Therefore we enjoy every minute of it.

Let everyday be Friendship Day!
