Bad Blood
As in literally and figuratively. My brother is looking for a bloody blogskin and it's so bloodifyingly bothering. Not only that, another bad thing that's cropped up this week (okay, maybe not bad thing, but bad thingS) is the HOI essay. I read the sample essay and I freaked!!! Not only is the HOI essay nipping me at the heels, I still have to do my Psych notes, my accounting revision and exercises, my Maths 1 curve sketching exercises (both), my EAP essay, my Drama monologue, my EAP corrections and homework...ARrrgGgHHhh...
The only good thing that's happened to me so far is Angel/Dust by Aoi Nanase. Oh my gosh she is just such the coolest mangaka. The only ONLY thing lamentable about Angel/Dust is the apparent lack of bishounen. Other than that the art was fantastic, the story impacting and profound, the characters simple, yet well-embellished and believable, with various themes like friendship, time, transcience of humanity etc. :) Have added her into my somewhat short list of fave mangakas, alongside Matsuri Hino, Arina Tanemura...aiyayayaya, I sorta forgot the rest, but anyway, that's not the point.
The point really is that I missed out on JJ's concert-cum-advertisement thingy in Singapore!!! And that I'll miss his actual concert anyway -__-;;
Since our official cook is away, the food schedule for next weeks turns out to be something like:
Today: Leftovers
Sunday: Instant Noodles/Leftovers
Monday: Pasta
Tuesday: Pasta
Wednesday: Pie
Thursday: Dinner with other aunt
Friday: Eat Out
Looks interesting. I sure am looking forward to next week. But, putting aside the food issue, I think I really AM looking forward to next week. That is, if my Literature tutorial is switched... Geez! I forgot! I still have to read Jhumpa Lahiri for my Lit. Not that I mind, she's a great short-story writer but homework is still homework, no matter what form it takes... And Media&Comm homework, about watching and taking notes about an Australian TV programme. Fun homework, but nonetheless...
It's always the same with parents all around the world. Before they go along on holidays, be it short trips or long extravaganzas, if they're leaving offspring at home, they always feel propelled to give last-minute "Don't Talk To Any Strangers" lectures. Like, if someone knocks, don't open the door or even look out. Keep the back door locked at all times and hang wet clothes inside. Be wary of electrical appliances (ok, well, not exactly that but the gist of it), and the washing machine is your friend. All you have to do is push the right buttons to manipulate it. And no, the washing machine isn't human. Whenever someone knocks at the door, don't scream, just panic. In the occurrence of Lord-of-the-Rings-style armies of ants, wipe most of them off with a towel, dump the pitiful object into the sink and surround the mass of devils with a moat of water. After that, call the police.
Do not feel motivated to sweep the stairs lest you trip and crack your head open on the asphalt far below (approx. 1 storey). In which case you should probably donate the ruined skull to further scientific research, since one of the most infamous phrases doctors frequently quote is "I don't know". Other infamous phrases include "Your _____ is doing well, BUT..." and "We'll have to take more tests..." and "Come back in a week's time...". The worst one being "Glad you're doing well, and see you soon!" (This prejudice against doctors is partly due to motivations by down-to-earth, fun, friendly and kind Psych teachers like the one I have)
Lastly, when a room is not in use, switch off all electrical appliances like lights, so that the boogeymen can use the opportunity to hide under the beds. Furthermore (what happened to "lastly"???), all the food you'll ever need is in the fridge, so worship the almighty benevolent fridge and all the leftovers it might contain. Do not invite anyone into the house, with the exception of masked robbers, psychotic madmen and door-to-door salesmen. *sarcasm sarcasm sarcasm* If a stranger offers you candy, what the hell, just take it, follow him to wherever, bash him up and steal all his other candies. This way you would have saved the lives of countless stupid, dumb and greedy children.

So Slow Sometimes
Yes, I walk slow, but then again, I think slow too. My aunt and uncle are going over to M'sia for about a week to visit their relatives and bring back Aussie goodies. I knew this like, what, 2 weeks ago, and around yesterday, i finally realised that if they went back to M'sia, they would be able to get my JJ Lin CD!!! *bliss* Hopefully though, cuz I think they might be sold out or something??? Now all I have to do is wait...for a week...oh boy...how fun...I'm so excited. A week of having to wake up earlier than usual to take public transport. But I understand. Must make sacrifices for the ONE person who is worth it. ^^
So, *blink* *blink* and it's Thursday. My drum lessons have started, but I still haven't got my pad and drums. It's quite informal and everything, and I'm not sure whether they're worth $10 per lesson but... Since I'm on the bandwagon, might as well go all the way, haha! >.< But rushing all the way from Swanston to Evan Burge then to Lincoln again a bit much, right? Nevermind, at least I won't get severely obese anytime soon. And I only discovered today that that lady in the Nissan Tiida advertisement is from Sex and the City. Hmmm...seeeeee? I'm slow, darn it!!!
One more big problem: how do you write a 1200 word essay on mystery Roman religions? Beats me. There are so many essays this term, and the History of Ideas essay needs to have referencing and bibliographies as well, aaaaahhhhhhh... Well, got back my Maths marks, could have gotten better minus my careless mistakes, but I couldn't help those mistakes cuz I THINK slow. -__-;; Very happy about my Media & Communications marks though, so waheehaheeehaaheehaaa!!!! I sound like a psychotic Tarzan. Eeeewwww.
I suddenly have this urge for quay tiao soup... An urge that will go SADLY ignored. At least I don't eat slow. (Wait, is that a good thing???) Half the people in my M&C class are Japanese o_O, which is cool. Uhhhhh... ... ...
Sad, huh? Four days of my life can be thus condensed into a few paragraphs. Maybe next time I'll become a reporter and go to Iraq to report about the war there, or I'll become a catwalk model (dream on man), or maybe I can direct my own movie. Then maybe my blog will be more interesting. Instead, all I have to say now is that Honey Nut Crunch cereal is Da Best and that there is nothing more I can find interesting about my life to blog.
Can someone tell me something interesting that has happened to me recently? (I'm getting desperate) I still can't find the toe socks I want and blah di blah blah blah.
The end is here.

Term 2 Time
I had wanted to say "It's Tiger Time" but somehow, school doesn't cut it. Back to all the lectures and the impromptu lunches and the fast food and the park and the wake-up-early-in-the-morning rituals and the bus rides and the tutorials and the books and the homework... Except for Anzac Day (whatever THAT is), the whole week is school again. Oh well, three weeks must end sometime, it can't go on forever...
Well I wish it would...
Got my Squidgy from Sharon and Melissa, and it's so huggable!!! Thanks, you guys just added artillery into my arms depot in the war against winter. Which I'm winning thanks to the household heater installed in every room.
We messed up that trip to D.F.O. in Cheltenham. During that journey, it really struck me that Singapore is indeed REALLY tiny, nothing compared to the vastness in Australia. In Singapore, what you see outside MRTs are HDB flats and houses and roads, but here there can be wide stretches with NOTHING AT ALL. Amazing. All that land idling there with nothing to do. Think of what Singapore could do with that land. Gosh. And you have to open the train doors yourself if you wanna get out, which is sorta weird. After getting off at Cheltenham, we got on the wrong bus in the opposite direction and sat in there like goondoos 20 minutes into the ride, wondering all the way what took the journey so long, since D.F.O. is only supposed to be 10 minutes from Cheltenham. Well, spent most of the time getting lost, so by the time we reached D.F.O. we had about 1 hour to shop. We made the most of it at least, but the trip back was the scariest and most tedious.
I had to take the bus, then the train and then the tram home. So the entire journey was about 3 hours, hooray... The bus wasn't too bad, what with Anita and Adlin there. Anita had another one of those stupid trick questions and we spent the majority of the journey figuring out the trick. I think the whole bus could hear her "OpenCloseCloseOpenCloseCloseCloseOpenClose" litany, and the guy who sat in front of us with those enormous pierced earrings and the people in the backseat sorta got involved too, haha. It was fun. On the train journey, it got so dark, like midnight, only the time was, like, 6pm??? It was my second time on a train, so getting off and everything was scary. By the time I was at the tram stop, it was officially night, and FREEZING. As in subzero freezing.
Still, the whole thing was an adventure, and even though I sorta scared myself shitless walking back home in the dark (there are hardly any street lamps here, geez), it was worth it. All of this happened on Friday actually. I was just too shmoozed on Saturday to blog.
Guess what was in my mystery package my parents sent me? A Creative MuVo S200 MP3 player, yay! My mother added a few recipes into the bundle, comprising mostly of mashed potato variations and egg stuff (oh, talking about egg stuff, I watched Iron Chef yesterday and the theme ingredient was egg. A cool stunt the Iron Chef Japanese pulled was he slowly poured egg yolk into a wok of boiling water and they instantly cooked themselves into some kind of fragile egg noodle. The visual effect was amazing. And du-uh, the Iron Chef won, against the Chinese challenger. But then again, the judges WERE Japanese...). One day I'm gonna try my hand at making something from those recipes, but for now I'll just sit back, relax and eat Subway.
I should probably get started on that leftover pasta too...eewwww... Hey, does anyone want to try out Water Margin Online? :)

Weird Beard
Tiger Woods grew some sort of beard a little, so now he looks kinda weird... Random thought. Found this really cool place on Elizabeth Street called Minotaur, selling shelves and shelves of manga, in English, with lots of Tokyopop titles!!! I was in heaven lah... So far, I've been slacking. The holidays have allowed me to let out all the O'levels stress but I think I'd better hold back, haha. Went to Bridge Street yesterday to finish up the walking and spent only $20 for four pieces of clothing. Not bad, plus they were all quite good quality. The only downside was that today was freezing cold, especially since it was raining and the wind was sneezing into my lungs and giving me temporary pneumonia... Shouldn't have ignored the weather forecast today, but I've never had the necessity to check the weather in Singapore, the island of perpetual summer. I kinda miss it and I kinda don't.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a pet penguin the size of your palm? >.< And for some reason, the Mcdonalds' burgers here in Oz are extremely flat. Ok, either the buns are incredibly deflated and the yeast didn't work, or the beef patties are thin and the ingredients even thinner. On my part, I think it's the yeast thing. So hmmmm. There's no shrooms burger here, but guessing from the general Aussie appetite, an average person would have to eat 5 shroom burgers to have a decent meal. I wouldn't mind. I miss the shroomy sauce! At least the fries are still the same. Eating on public transport isn't illegal here, though, so when I ate on the tram today it was a bit weird. All the crackling of the plastic bag and stuff. But at least I didn't have to hide the package from the driver, like I did back in Singapore, haha. The tram is always so crowded after office hours. The tram is very like the bus in Singapore, except that it's much slower, like comparing a slug to a snail (uhhh...what's the difference...), and it comes every 10 minutes. It runs on electricity too, so it always has long wires above it on top, like a cable car thingy. Busted about $8 yesterday downloading that Kelly Clarkson ringtone, but what's done is done, no point smiling over spilt milk (yeah, guilty as charged and proud of it). Oh, speaking of milk, I still have to get a milk cup, so I don't have to wash my normal cup every morning after my milk session and drink all that unwashed detergent. -___-;; Or else I'm just scaring myself, but whatever. So far, all the career choices I've set for myself are business manager, lawyer, accountant, PR agent etc. But then I took this test and I'm not sure anymore... Just what am I cut out to do??? I wanna do what I want, but I wanna do what's best for me too... If I were still a three-year-old I'd be banging my head with a rattler right now, destroying my brain cells and neurons, so then I won't qualify for lawyer or accountant or business manager.

Scratch The Itch
Blink
A deer caught in headights
A flash of memories
Cymbals of a rock band
Route 666 remedies
Fact from fiction
Lines, erased, connect
Sun dawns coldly bright
Never picture perfect
Footprint moulded in the sand
Serenade of rust
Again and again and again
Silence swirls the dust
Patched butterfly net
Catch the wind, try
Tomorrow's dawn licks
At the eye

Colour Quiz
Your true color is
Red!
Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses. Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously. If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name. You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in. Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions. In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment. Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.
---> Hmm...really? *in doubt* Maybe I just don't wanna think of myself as THAT impulsive, even though all evidence certainly points to the fact that I AM... NO I'M NOT... Actually, I'm not so sure anymore so I shall just go lie down in bed and confer with the voices in my head. Tsk tsk tsk, such a controversial topic...
---> Know what? I'm just too lazy to blog today, too obese to type. My fingers keep jabbing two keys at a time. >____<

MSG = Mass Suicide Goodie
The Vietnamese noodles I had today at that shop down in Swanston had so much MSG I finished off a cup of chocolate milk tea in five minutes. But then it was good while it lasted, so there. Went down to Myers later on where my aunt and uncle went off to check out some plasmas on sale. She wanted a forty-something inch one, but he wanted a 37-inch one. I vote for the forties. With theater and surround sound system. But that's just wishful thinking, although I wish they'd get the new set before the next Fifa World Cup. *shrugs* All I know is I want to get my hands on one of those Disney soundtracks where they compile all their popular theme songs into this convenient CD set thing. The only problem remains with the fact that I can't seem to find that in the Borders down at the city. Everything's all jumbled up like elephant shit, so what are the employees for? And the cheapest pair of toe socks I found today were four bucks. Worth it? I don't think so, not when my own normal socks cost four bucks for three.
Walked past the pet shop today and they had a new white kitten there, above all those bunnies and guinea pigs. It looked so cute and regal at the same time, it was adorable!!! The puppy in the next exhibit was cute too, but dogs just can't measure up to a cat's superiority. I'd want an Ocicat. They say its one of the most sociable cats around, but my aunt hates animals, although my cousin would LURVE a pet puppy. As long as it doesn't drool. Not that I have anything against dogs that drool but I wouldn't want it slobbering all over me in my Sunday best. Cats are so much cleaner. And tidier. And easily toilet-trained. I think.
I haven't licked even the dust off of my holiday homework. Yay. Plus I think I'm gaining one kg a day due to excessive eating. I'm always hungry here since it's always so cold. But I'm sorta happy, though, since there's a double episode of Supernatural today and it's also my cousin's birthday. I wished I'd gone to the movies more often in Singapore. I have way too little movie postcards, and I'd love to have more, wwwaaaaahhhhh... So I like to whine. Live with it. My "freight" package from Singapore hasn't arrived yet. Wonder what happened to the person who was supposed to deliver it. Oh well, he'll come around. Wonders, what a hyphen can do, right? Deliver and De-liver have such diverse meanings. Just a random observation.
The dim sum restaurants here have such lovely fried squids, yummy! Haven't had fried squid before, and the fried calamari rings I badgered my mother to purchase from NTUC is probably rotting in the fridge. OK, technically, things don't rot in the fridge. Oh, and another amazing fact? I was watching that Guiness World Records show yesterday, and the longest mustache in the world is 1.7m long, approximately, on the man's left side. Apparently, the man curls his mustache up to keep it from getting all over his face and to keep food from getting stuck on it. He even avoids candy, can you believe it??? And besides, it's gross.
Should I download Maple into my com? I don't know... but I'm bored... @_@ *waves* See ya later, I've got to go nurse my frozen toes in that warm thick blanket only a few centimetres away...

Eating Easter
The past few days have been anything but exciting. Went out again on Thursday and dug a hole in my pockets, such dismal news, but nothing new. I am increasingly coming to love Nissin instant noodles, even though all the saturated fat in it is probably going to clog my arteries and maybe one day I'll go from this world to the next with my head slumped in a delicious bowl of Beef noodles. Death by noodle. Doesn't sound bad, quite an innovative way to say "Goodbye cruel world". I think I'm picking up horrible eating habits from my cousin. I ate FOUR Tim Tams yesterday, double chocolate. But yesterday was also significant cuz I completed that Good Friday drawing project, although the drawing has nothing whatsoever to do with Good Friday. Now, if only I could get a tablet for free, then I could start colouring it in, but I'm broke, so I need it for free... Does anyone have a fifth-hand tablet? Doubt so.
Now my back aches, since I slouched the whole day over that drawing. Bah. Oh yes, wanted to share this lovely poem by dunno-who which aired on TV. It was advertising for somewhere in Australia I think, but it's nice.
I love a sunburnt country
A land of sweeping plains
Of ragged mountain ranges
Of drought, and flooding rains
I love her far horizons
I love her jewelled seas
Her beauty, and her terror
A wide brown land for me
Cool huh? By the way, I'm just cheating. This is just to fill up as much space as possible. My stupid system keeps logging me on to MSN automatically when I connect to the Internet, it's so damn irritating!!! I don't feel like talking to people but all these windows pop up and I just close them but they pop up AGAIN. FOR GOODNESS' SAKE HOW DO I CHANGE THIS ****ING SETTING??? Bah, now I'm irritated. Can't people tell the difference between ACTUALLY logged on and AUTOMATICALLY logged on??? ACTUALLY logged on means I ACTUALLY have a DISPLAY PICTURE!!! AUTOMATICALLY logged on means I DON'T.
-____-;;
Feel like punching something. Ok, I'm not mad anymore. Wow. Severe mood changes all in the span of five minutes. This PROVES I'm temperamental. Sure I'm sure. I'll just go try to fix that stupid auto-ting-tong.
P.S. By the way, have you noticed? It always rains on Good Friday, and then it's always sunny on Easter Sunday. NOT joking.

Sarang Hae Yo, Hayao!
Haha, the title is so random, but that's because it's relevant. I've got three days to blog about again. The Internet was down for a few days, but then again, didn't feel like going online. Still haven't gotten down to improving my drawing skills, and I haven't wrapped the present yet. And I haven't finished with Bridge Road yet. Should I go to Sydney? But it's so expensive. Better use the money for my mp3 player. (This is a glimpse of part of my thoughts. All my thinking processes happen to be thus disjointed.)
So, on Saturday, went to Bridge Road with Adlin, Calista and Anita. Only had time to walk around a bit cuz by that time it was already 1 something and the shops closed at 5. Managed to get this cool $5 shirt, and a keychain for bag identification for $2. Didn't buy anything else because either they were too expensive, or the moderately priced ones weren't worth it. Haven't made it all the way to that huge factory outlet store, but I'm hoping we can at least go out again this week. Haha, I have thus been so deprived for shopping. Ate sushi for lunch that day, teriyaki chicken, california sushi and somethinhg with lots of orangey fish eggs (my fave!!). The California sushi tasted a bit weird, but what can you expect from a Japanese product with an American name??? The teriyaki didn't taste like sushi, so I shouldn't even categorise it as sushi. It was just chicken wrapped in seaweed, geez.
After all that walking my feet were hurting like shit, then went home just to go out again to my uncle's nephew's place for dinner. By then I was so chronically tired, and the adults just kept yakking on and on and on... Have you ever noticed something about dinner conversations? Someone makes a remark, someone else replies and they all laugh, but you sit there blinking and wondering WHAT THE HELL was so farny? Or maybe I was just feeling crappy. Mostly though, they just talked about food. The family videos they showed us were also mostly about food. Yeah, let the stomach do the talking, why don't you... I only perked up at the bit where they videoed themselves in Japan on holiday. The sakura flowers were kakoii-desu, and I bet they had takoyaki as well. Man, I can't say how much I miss my takoyaki!!! But they went to Tokyo, so everything was just buildings and buildings and more buildings. Why didn't they go to Kyoto???
Then comes Sunday, and the sleepover with Rachel, haha. Felt rather useless man, I was just standing there in the sidelines watching the pro cook stuff like fried veggies with egg, and fried salmon, and soya sauce pork. Didn't matter that the soya sauce pork was way too salty, I couldn't cook like that to save my butt. And the miso noodles were good :) Rach, you are just too kind, stop cooking for your cousin lah!!! Just buy him a boxful of maggie mee. Had a movie marathon that night that extended til the morning, watching Memoirs of a Geisha, then Seven Swords, then Mr & Mrs Smith and THEN Narnia, haha, so cool. Too bad I didn't bring any of my chick flicks here.
Monday Monday Monday. Ate cornflakes for the fifth time since coming to Australia, aaaahhh. Then went for the anime film festival at Union House. OMG, Totoro is so cute, I wanna Totoro plushie!!! Duh, watched My Neighbour Totoro and Laputa: Castle in the Sky, all by the great Hayao Miyazaki and the venerable Studio Ghibli *screams* So cool, though Laputa was very similar to Howl's Moving Castle, minus the bishounen and the state-of-the-art animation. It would've been a great day, except that the 200 bus didn't come AT ALL and the 203 bus was more like a bus for sardines. Saw this weird pale guy on the bus and I freaked out. Looked a lot like a vampire o_O but then again, bus rides are only exciting if imagination helps, haha.
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are so cute together. The camaraderie between them as brothers on Supernatural is so natural, bleh.
Hy finally sent her computer to a psychologist, so now its getting better. Living with Hy must be driving her com to hysteria. :) By the way, I sound really sullen today, huh? Bet it's my hormones moaning. The blackheads on my nose are protesting against that new cleanser I bought yesterday's yesterday. I swear those black things have connections with Saddam. Every time I look in the mirror they smirk at me. Haha, look who's smirking now, clogged pores!!!

De Ramis Cadunt Folia
The leaves are falling from the trees:
now all that's green has died.
All heat has slipped from everything
the sun has turned aside.
No river now that's not in flood,
no meadow flowers catch the light.
Our golden sun has taken flight,
and snowy day follows freezing night.

Snoo Snoo
Before, I thought Snoo Snoo was something cute and fuzzy with purple sparkly wings, big doe-like eyes and soft, like my Squidgy. Now, I've seen the light. Ack. And don't anybody try asking me what a Snoo Snoo is, I am utterly disinclined to answer. Really. Besides that, I don't know why the airing of Supernatural got cancelled because of the AFL. I was looking forward to it all Monday *mutters incomprehensible dastardly words that someone like me shouldn't know*. Oh I know I should be thankful and all that, what with my Term 1 exams over and no one lookng over my shoulder or singing freaky Chicken Little songs in my ears all the time. That's what little brothers do. And ever since my youngest little brother got acquainted with the wonders of MSN Messenger, I have been bombarded with dozens of little conversation windows that remind me of the game Advert Attack in Neopets. It's so crazy.
Easter's coming soon, and all the chocolate Easter bunnies on TV are making my eyes water. Seriously. I'd like to go on an Easter egg hunt, it certainly looks fun. Imagine me digging around in the bushes for a palm-sized chocolate Easter egg, whee!!! If only chocolate grew on trees... *zonks out in bliss*. But what I want most now is a little kitten I can play with, I am literally living my version of Home Alone 1, 2 & 3. And if I ever get a kitten, I'm going to let it live in luxury every day, with lots of Fancy Feasts and chew toys.
Who am I kidding? Geez, I'm becoming very like a grouchy old woman. Maybe it's just because I'm missing out on JJ Lin's new album. And they still sell cassette tapes in Australia! How ancient is that?? But okay, considering how they're skipping the whole VCD phase and fast-forwarding to the DVD era, it's not too bad. I should be in a good mood right now, after reading two miraculously juicy novels (thank you God for the birds and the bees and, most of all, the library), except for the fact that I MAY HAVE LOST ALL MY SONGS...
Or maybe that's just paranoia attacking. All I know is, I'm desperately bored, all the online games are becoming paid-to-play ones and I'm sitting in my office chair feeling a whole lot like what I think Robert Frost might have been feeling while penning "The Road Not Taken". Have you ever eaten chicken veggie fillets for lunch with bread? Well, I have, and it's getting old. Not that I'm complaining, I couldn't cook baked beans to save my life (death by baked beans?! not such a bad option...) and the patch of skin I accidentally baked in the oven on Saturday hasn't healed yet (I can't believe I actually baked myself!!!), owwie... I was SO joking over that suggestion about eating one's hand if one got hungry enough.
Lassie looks as cute as ever, even if the dog itself is actually a male. Females molt too much (molt? something about shedding fur...) so a male dog was chosen for the role. But cats are, by far, superior to dogs. Now, the only vestige of the wild dogs have is in their wolfish cousins, while cats have so many other cousins, like lions, tigers, leopards, lynxes etc. Dogs are TOO obedient. Well, and some of them slobber alot.
I want some pancakes... and did I tell you it was me who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? No? Oh, too bad. Pretend I didn't say anything.

April Foolish
I feel so downcast. So downtrodden. So hopeless. In despair. So sad. So defeated. So miserable. So... okay, I've run out of vocab... oh yeah, dejected. I'm sure those who've experienced what I've experienced can relate to this sense of desolation within me...
I FORGOT TO TRICK SOMEONE ON APRIL FOOLS' DAY!!!
I'm throwing a sort of tantrum now. Unfair. D'Day. My day. WASTED.
MY LIFE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I'm doing a Jim Carrey impersonation. That whole "erooooooding" thing he did in Bruce Almighty, that's just how I feel, and that's exactly what I feel like doing, but I'm restricting it to bath time, so then the shower can drown out my maniacal sobs of grief. Also, to save face, in case my aunt throws me out of the house or the neighbours file a noise pollution suit against me. I think I'd better stuff a banana in my mouth to stop my hysterics.
Ok, now bananas are like going for $2 a banana. Monkeys are just so lucky, even though their brains are 1/4 the size or ours. They get bananas with no strings attached, hmph. No, the stuffing option is out. Sigh.
Yeah baby yeah! One down, one more to go. Maths wasn't so bad. The questions were manageable, just that my paranoia was not, so I sort of panicked even though there was nothing much to panic about, except for the fact that they made me sketch so many DAMN SHITTY graphs. One thing I hate most about maths is anyting to do with graphs. Sure, LOOKING at graphs is one thing, SKETCHING and DRAWING is another matter altogether. Evil graphians were trying to take over my exam paper, but I valiantly fought back... and drew the graph correctly, yay!!! *ahem* So now there's a happily ever after, where's my Prince Charming? My protractor of course. It saved me because the Oompa Loompas still have not returned my ruler. Those BRATS.
Mood changes. Is this what they call Pre-PMS??? There goes my paranoia again...
Know what? I haven't watched so many Disney classics, like Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Snow White, The Little Mermaid. I miss Cinderella, and my favourite Bambi DVD is at home, mouldering in the heat and dust of Singapore. Blerrarrgh.
If music be the food of love, and if I had an MP3 player, I won't need love and I won't ever go hungry again. My, my, my. What a sales pitch. Modernised yet classical advertising. I just lurve my ingenuity. :)
Weenie!!!
P.S. That was just random. Another one of my impulses. Ignore that. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T???

Pseudo-Penny Paradox
Do you still pick it up? I mean, know the saying "Find a penny, pick it up. All day long you'll have good luck."? Does this only apply to people fortunate enough to be in Britain? What if you pick up a Pseudo-Penny? Do you get pseudo-luck? Hmmm. Better not think to much, I'll fry all my neurons. By the way, did you know that shaking your head too much throughout your lifetime will cause your brain to bash into the skull, thus causing brain damage? This to all heavy metal or rock music fans: Ya gotta move it move it, then you can lose it lose it. *gurgles* Well, THAT was another one of my random facts, but random though they be, 99.99% is true, the 0.01% is to give leeway for human error.
I should, in fact, be studying for Maths now but I am in the process of procrastination. Hey, aren't we all? My fingers and toes are officially perpetually frozen, ack. It's in the middle of autumn here and I am freezing. Absolutely FREEZING. I slept under two layers of blankets, but my cousin tells me it won't be enough. How do I know she's right? Well, my TV blanket, also known as Squidgy (I'm sure you all have met her, say "hi" Squige!), is pretty thick and furry. That's my tropospheric blanket. My stratospheric blanket is my bed blanket, and THAT is almost 15cm thick. Thicker if you fluff it up. As for my mesospheric and my thermospheric blankets, I haven't quite got them yet, but when winter comes, they'll be there all right.
Wow. A whole paragraph dedicated to my blankets. Makes me wonder about the state of my mental health. LIKE I CARE. I just know that one day in winter, I'll go use the water fountain and the water'll freeze in mid-air, just like it does in Little Lulu cartoons. Or any other cartoons, pretty much. I have yet to send off all my multiple postcards... and I haven't bought the stamps, they cost >$1 here, per 500g of letters, so not TOO bad.
At least school's out, so all I have to do is... WATCH SHAMAN KING!!! YAY!!! Or maybe Naruto but I'm guessing that it'd be too long. Save Naruto for the loooooooooong term 4 holiday. So... what exactly have I been up to? Bought this crappy Billabong wallet for $10 and my Dark card can't even fit into the clear slot of the wallet. Guess it's better to buy a good quality one for a lot, than to go buy a cheapskate one that will squish all your important anime calender cards. Ok, ICs are important too but... I have a mixed bag of priorities that rearrange themselves according to my mood. Does that answer the question? No. I just like to beat around the bush, like I used to do with Fanny, haha. I guess the bushes might be sorta sad though, if everyone keeps avoiding answers and bashing them. Gee.
I can't seem to find any >2GB MP3 players here that cost less than $200. The bus and tram rides home are so long and boring and reading magazines just makes my stomach go queasy, plus it's so pointless reading about celebrity gossip. I don't wanna jiggle my cd-player about anymore either. I just wanna carry my >1GB storage of miscellaneous songs in the back pocket of my jeans and start irritating people on the public transport with my humming. The social menace with an iPod, haha :) I wish.
Bah. Better go now. I've started burping like crazy ever since I finished that XO Barbecue instant noodles for lunch. *hiccup*
