Okay, so not only Project Runway and Get Backers make me a whole lot happier, but watching MTV too.Sigh, I find solace in dark-haired angmohs playing the piano in desolate places that look like some deserted area in Texas. How queer and yet, somehow.. surreal. o_o
Oh well!
Here's the video for the All-American Reject's song, "It Ends Tonight" from TRL's world premiere. Mind you, it's awesome!
They're made of...
Tyson Ritter – Vocals, bass
Nick Wheeler – Guitar, keyboards, backing vocals
Mike Kennerty – Guitar, backing vocals
Chris Gaylor – Drums, percussion
Don't mind the percussionist's last name - even if he REALLY was uh, gay, I'd still think he's awesome. <3
Apart from Tyson owning this superawesomelovelove hair and being able to play the piano without flopping over his own fingers, his face has countless expressions I can not seem to get bored of. And his voice.. the voice.. simply yummy.
.. So, why did I even like this song?
Well, I was talking about light and decisions earlier, wasn't I? :x

Hm, I guess I won't be able to afford a Ripcurl jacket since..
.... I AM BENT ON GETTING A NEW BIKE!
Yes, after using my mum's (yes, my mum's) bike, I deduced that:
House --------------------------- Bus Stop
Point A -----------400m----------- Point B
Walking time has decreased dramatically from Point A to Point B!
Usually I take about 3-5 minutes to walk this 400-500m distance (it actually depends on my mp3 song. Rock songs = fast, ballads = slow), but with a bike, I take less than a minute! :3 I looooove cycling too, so meh! Why not get one while I still got the resources to (I think), right?
Alright, onto serious stuff.
Tomorrow is d-day.
Because ECONS will be the death of me! I really can't make left and/or right of it, it's just one whole jumble of jibberish that only Chewbacca and his alien kind can understand -_-

Hm, Japanese songs are nice when you don't understand them. After you do, you feel horrible because almost 70% of their songs are sad and make you have this shitty lingering feeling which you have the compulsion to wreck anything and everything into nothing.
I mean really - now I hear Japanese songs and can feel the song so much more since the lyrics mean something now instead of random syllables that I had no comprehension of last time.
I guess it's time to listen to Korean songs~
Speaking of songs, I keep hearing "jingle bells" everywhere I go. No idea why o_o
But weirdly, I'm still not in that Christmas holiday mood yet. I guess it's because my exams are here, but with friends that are so cheerful and happy about this year's Christmas that is "gonna b da bez", I guess I shouldn't dampen the moment and try to just share the joy.
I feel horrible these few days again..
The reason escapes me still.
I don't know, let me focus on my exams first.. that is, if I can even get to my notes and work on them.. -__- I hope things turn for the better after all this shmuck.
(Lol, vote 'shmuck' for word-of-the-year!)
Anyhoo.
First day of exam..
Badbadbadbadbadbadbadbad. Very bad.
I can only hope and wish that I don't repeat the OB module. Hellooooo, $500 per module? Pain in tha BUTT okay please and thank you!

I knew I'd get around there.. although I was probably thinking I'd fail OB since I am a screw-up on it. For goodness' sake, everytime I did essay questions on it Mrs Hoe's voice would ring in my head:
"Bluff your way out~"
Not only was it really creepy, it was distracting! o__o
So okay, applying Literature into psychology wasn't the smartest thing to do. Time to read up or suffer the consequences.
I guess I have a whole lot of people to thank for teaching me in the various subjects.

I will probably be busier these few days, since I am starting to mug. But if anyone has any clue about any of these subjects and has any form of free time.. PLEASE HELP.
This is a plea!

HAPPY FEET!
The latest penguin craze since migration documentaries on Discovery Channel!
There's Hugh Jackman, Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Bittany Murphy, Hugo Weaving and Nicole Kidman (who by the way, plays as Gloria)!
So Vince and I, after our little study session, went over to Jurong Point's Toys'R'Us and I just saw the little Gloria plush toy sitting there beckoning me to buy it with its beady eyes.
But I was broke!
I WANT IT SOOO BADLY.
I know that plush toys aren't exactly the best things to covet.. but what the heck, I can't resist 3 kinds of animals:
1) Pandas
2) Penguins
3) Puppies
I mean come on.. it's named Gloria!
I swear I'll get it or by God I'll buy it off eBay even if the prices are ripped. :(

OH. EM. GEE.
I am so going to get a new phone RAWR!
Mine has been spoilt since uh, two months ago. It switches off as and when it likes, which is absolutely infuriating if I'm making a call.
And I've decided what phone to get! :D
My contract doesn't end until April next year, but heck, it doesn't hurt to hope~
Behold, the Nokia 7373!
Yes, it's from the L'amour series <3
But it's black & brown, something to my preference. Reason why I didn't choose the gold & cream one was because that's owned by my sister already. And the powder pink one? You can forget it. >__>
I don't usually post stuff about phones, so if you're going to tell me "omigoose this phone has SHITTY specs m'darlin!", I don't really care o__o Phones aren't meant to be superbuff unlike what I think of computers.
Phones are just tools to sms, call and look pretty. ._.
Of course, I wanted the Motorola D&G V3i, but noooo, it has to cost $488. -___-

I spoke to a friend of mine, and he's right; there's no point dwelling in silly matters when it's already been and gone.(I bet half of you would be thinking "DUH, even my toenail shavings could've told you that"..)
Okay not only is that very disturbing - well, in a weird and grotesque way <_< but hey, when your mind is fuzzy from migraines and ceaseless issues, you don't know the obvious from the uh, obvious! Obviously! >_>
Yeah, I must be fine if I can kid around like that huh.
Relax, I'll get over it.
*shrugs*
My exams are more important than some bumbling doofus, anyway.
Gonna go Jurong East Library tomorrow to do some catching up on work and of course, exam revision. With my cousin, I hope he keeps me on track instead of telling me how 'Happy Feet' was. I want to watch it, so if he spoils it... RAWR it'll be the end of him.
I make it a challenge to myself to stay happy or at least, happier than I was 5 minutes ago.

Finally, school is over.
However, that doesn't mean my semester is.
.. That is, if I happen to fail any exam. Man I sure hope not, I'm sure you guys know how much of a bummer repeating something is.
Even if it's baking a cake.
Or taking a driving test.
Or sorelosers not wanting to lose 1 round of DotA and keep yelling "OMG CB, AGAIN!"
Or maybe..
.. Uh, you get the drift. >_>
But despite the fact that I don't really CARE if I pass or fail (okay, maybe I do because my dad will kill me; but I think I can pass. I'm trying hard okay!), I'm not any bit elated that.. well, I should be feeling happy and not sorry for myself.
Even though I still don't know why this feeling keeps sinking in, I know feeling sorry for myself isn't right.
No point in me continuing this rubbish between us..
Look, do what you will.. but when things turn ugly, I'm not helping. I won't even bother to give you a singly ply of tissue when you end up in tears or something.
....... who am I kidding I can't do that.
Fine, tissue available.
But there'll be a whole lot of "I told you so" coming to you, ass. -___-
Yes I know, gloomy blog posts aren't the nicest things to read about but.. meh I can't let it bottle inside, can I.
I'm not as good as all of you who can shut their feelings up ._. I'll end up going insane and IMH would have to make an air-conditioned super-comfy room just to accomodate a mentally-challenged idiot like me.

"If something can go wrong, it will."So says Murphy's Law, anyway.
I can't agree more, really.
A few examples are as such:
- A slice of buttered bread, when dropped, will always land butter-side down.
- The day you forget your umbrella, it pours with rain.
- Your printer will always jam the night before something important is due.
- The minute you light a cigarette, the bus happens to arrive.
It's a classic 'it-sucks-to-be-you' moment in time where you just mutter "freaking hell damn it, why so suay" under your breath.
Even if I think of it as "nothing can ever go perfectly right", it just adds to my dismay to the fact that things will always go wrong.
That's probably why people own a blog, anyway..
If everything went my way I wouldn't have anything to say apart from lovely praises and pompous boasting now, would I. I don't think anyone would want to read about narcissistic nonsense.. of course, unless waiting for arguments from flamers that don't really have other things to do apart from.. well, flaming.
But what does Murphy's Law have to do with my mood being so inconsistent?
I don't know, maybe it just adds to the fact that nothing can ever really go right for me.
And I shall prove my point. Even at 5pm, a Malay wedding singing marathon thingy downstairs still continues - with enciks, maciks and other random relatives you've never seen before singing to their hearts' contents without breaking a sweat at the expense of the neighbourhood's ears.
I don't mind if the random people going on stage to sing, but when you sound like it's time to slaughter an animal, please spare a thought for people that cannot tahan the ceaseless hours of horrendous (not to mention loud) singing.
I don't want to be an asshole to a long-practiced custom (and the fun of having loud music played so everyone can hear) but prolonged funky songs really kills the mood, in my honest opinion.
Chinese funerals are understandable because I am as sure as hell I don't want to mess with a dead person, but Malay weddings just really tick me off sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love the kompang part, but the pre-wedding karaoke session is just so wrong.
But yes, apart from silly migraines and this crazy flu, I can safely say I've had better days than this. I really need to cheer up, but it seems that the only way I could no longer seems available.
And thus I shall keep ranting to a minimum today - Sundays should be kept as a day of resting, ne.

Today I met my great buddies Kai and Min for some long catching up and an eyebrow threading session!Before that, I must say that the whole hoo-hah about George Bush coming to Singapore is not worth my time.
Why do I say MY time?
.. Because I STOOD on the bus for a good twenty minutes, waiting for the president in his black limo with 1023948omgwtf35 police on bikes (and lets not forget the ambulance wailing behind) to pass by while my gastric pains were threatening to kill me.
The ambulance would probably try to save his life in an "assassination" (I prefer to call it a sudden diahorrea attack), but who would save me if I fainted from that excruciating pain, huh!?
Then again, I don't have anything against Mr Bush.. But if I don't get to my food I'm pretty damned sure I will!
Anyhow, jokes aside..
I had my eyebrows trimmed!
Sure, threading hurts like HELL, but I think it looks better now, compared to the old bushy and wooshy-ness. I need to get used to it because I think I look like someone I really dislike.
But it's soooooo hairless! Clean! Neat! :D
Thanks to my two buddies for jio-ing me along! Hope to see you guys again. <3
But yes, these days I've been taking more doses of 'Project Runway' and 'Miami Ink' on the telly. Discovery Travel & Living has now become my favourite channel - well, apart from MTV, that is.
I don't get the deal with people thinking that tattooes are taboo and should only be associated with secret societies and "gangsters".
I don't care what others think - it's the same with hairstyles. If you want to do it, do it! I consider wacky hairstyles (yes, even afros) and tattooes to be more artistic than what other people would label a person as.
One's skin is, to me, a big piece of canvas or tapestry. Every strand of hair on an individual's head is a sculpture waiting to be formed by a pair (or more) of hands.
What you do to it is entirely up to you.
What people percieve it as is entirely up to them.
But so long as we know that it's art, it's good enough.. no?
I mean of course, unless you happen to REALLY be a gangster with lousy hair/tattooes just for the sake of being a gangster. Then you should just die instead of destroying the art of hairstyling and body art.

Ever had one of those days you felt like some gods up there were just playing with your life, and the rest of those dead people up there watching seem to be making your life their favourite drama/comedy/horror sequel?Can't say I didn't.
When I was heading to school, I felt my luck was totally diminished to a speck so small, you feel like you never knew such a thing exsisted until you (re)discover it.
So okay, yeah. School. On the bus, I sit behind a couple.
Couples aren't that bad, right?
Who the bloody hell am I kidding! SCREW you damn couples who would make even Venus ashamed of doing her 'thang'. There's a reason why it's called a PUBLIC place, you know? So you don't open your freaking private love life to us civilians who really want their eyes in their sockets, still. Not every couple does this to humiliate themselves in public, I know.. but still, nuh uh!
Then there was this uncle who sat beside me. Not that I mind, but when the bus is only 40% occupied, he has to come squeeze with me? Uhh, last I recalled I wasn't a size 6. I like my own space when there's plenty to go around, thank you! I would've opened a can of Gloria brand butt-whoop on him if he hadn't left in a few stops, hmph.
Of course, apart from the gruelling 15-minute bus ride I had to go through, I reached school exhausted and fumbled. Maria, Sherlyn and Lynn were doing the project at lab 5.33, but I misread (go me) it as 5.30.
Open door.
Peer inside.
(For like, 5 seconds.)
Squint.
Realise all eyes are on me.
Cringe.
Turns to see a lecturer.
Returns a puzzled look.
Realises it's the wrong lab.
Cringe.
Sticks tongue out in sheer embarrassment.
Dash straight out.
Feels face actually blushing.
Cringe, again.
I need to stop walking into the wrong classes, really..
It's like those kinda times on television where you see yourself clutching your head in anguish, screaming to the heavens "WHYYYY MEEEE!!".
Yeah.. I felt just like that.
Then, like magic, things started to get better.
Or maybe Mr. Osgodby was right about the 'Wheel of Fortune' (no dimwit, not the one with Pat Sajack and Vanna White >_>); when all seems to be going downhill, the only way a wheel can turn is back up.

I guess there is something wrong with me these few days..My classmates finally saw the quieter side of me today, but I figured there's no point looking glum if they're only going to feel awkward around me, so I decided to keep a smile while I could. You have no idea how sore my jaws were until I boarded the bus where I just turned towards the window and silently watched the rain fall onto the pane.
Monday blues, huh..
I don't know. *shrug*
But I'm pretty sure this feeling is like.. losing something when you don't even have it in the first place. Which sucks twice as much as losing something precious, if you get the drift.
I hope these dumb mood swings leave as fast as they came along. As much as I know people don't like seeing my long/glum/black face, I don't like having them just as much.
