Seeing as it is my 900th post, I shall dedicate it to the movie I watched today - Rise of the Guardians. If you haven't watched it, go watch it. Here are a list of reasons why this movie is awesome:

1. Jack Frost is REALLY cute, for an animated person I mean haha. His eyes, his smile, his hair. Oh <3 li="li">
2. The Sandman. Oh my GOD he is so cute. Like, in an adorable way. He's mute, so he relies on these sand pop ups above his head haha so cute! He's gold :3
3. The tooth fairy is really pretty. She is VERY fairy-ish. Her wings are so...pretty! And her colours are blue and green (I suspect they got inspiration from toothpaste..you know, blue, green and white? lol.)
4. JACK FROST!!!!

I need to get myself one of these.

You know what bullshit sounds like? Bullshit is when your Mom of all people tells you

"If you know he won't like it, don't say it cos you know he won't like it."

First of all, that is the biggest bullshit I've ever heard in my whole life. Really, it is. It beats all those times my friends ask me stupid questions or when someone tells me that the solar eclipse means we're going to die. It beats all of those bullshit. This is monumental bullshit we're talking about. The Gods of Bullshit is going to have to accept that statement in their hall of fame cos..why? Why does that statement deserve to be in the Hall of Bullshit? Because it is. Bullshit, I mean.

Secondly, you know what is so very ironic with that question? No one ever does that. No one ever stop saying mean things to your face. You know why? Because this is reality we live in and that's the way life works. If you don't like it, sorry honey but you can't do anything about it.

I will like to include this fact also: My brother never does that. Caring about whether or not people want to hear it or not, I mean. His principle is that if you should hear it, it doesn't matter whether or not you want to hear it or not.

I suppose you're feeling a little lost. No matter. Let me fill you in.
Today during dinner, my brother was all "you guys are really hungry, aren't you?". Except it wasn't in a nice way, it was in an accusatory tone. He was peeved that we wanted to eat dinner before my brother left for work. My second brother prefers to treasure the time he has when my big brother isn't awake. Well, it sounded pretty stupid to me, because it was nearing 7 o'clock and he would've been nagging us by then. So naturally, me being my usual outspoken self, pointed that out. I suppose that was the start of it.

I want you dear readers to know that my brother does not have any friends he can call a best friend. Its really sad, but before you start pitying him, you should know this.
My brother has to be one of the most irritating person on the face of the planet, THE UNIVERSE even when he gets into one of his moods to talk. I swear, you would be begging for mosquitoes instead of him when he gets into one of those moods. He doesn't stop, he nags you for hours, and when you get up to leave the room, he will follow you. The obvious route to the toilet for sanctuary doesn't help either, because he will stand outside nagging.
Basically, when my brother gets into one of his moods to nag you, he is like a leech. He sticks onto you and only leaves when you pluck him off your back and flicks him off somewhere.
And unlike the leech who doesn't seem to have any feelings, my brother does. Just my luck that I got a girl for a brother. He's so bloody sensitive and dramatic, he complains about the lack of his friends, about the abundance in friends of other people and the worst thing is you can't counter-attack his nags. No. He's such a stubborn bitch he will not stop until he wins the fucking argument.

I suppose you can imagine how annoyed I can get at him sometimes. Now, while I am writing this down is an example of my pure annoyance.

My Mom got really annoyed at me for saying things like, his lack of resume writing. He got REALLY pissed and started ranting about him writing it so we can get off his back. By then, THANK THE HOLY HEAVENS OR I WILL EXPLODE, my Dad told him to shut up. My Dad is the only one who can shut him up without him making a comment of our apparent "lack of consideration" towards his talks.

I feel so pissed off right now thinking about this. You know why? Because that is BULLSHIT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY BROTHER TELLS ME ALL THE TIME? I WILL TELL YOU. I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW. My brother always says that if we don't like him critisizing him, we should do something about it so he will stop.

UM. EXCUSE ME? BUT IF HE FUCKING WROTE HIS CV ALREADY, WOULD I HAVE THAT PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE AMMO ON MY SIDE TO FLING AT HIS SWELLED UP HEAD? Oh my fucking God. Sometimes I feel like shaking my Mom really hard and transferring my memories to her like how Dumbledore does with the tips of his wand to the pensieve so Harry and see it.

The rest of the family has it good. I will like to remind them who spends their day at home more than them. ME, THAT'S WHO. AND I AM THE PERSON WHO IS SUBJECTED TO THIS SHIT EVERYDAY. I'm SO FUCKING SORRY if I had enough once in a while. I'm so sorry I can't handle every single day of my waking moments listening to him nag, rant and complain.
I know I must sound like a bitch of a sister right now, but I have no patience for this. Besides, OH MY FUCKING GOD MAN. DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING COUNSELLOR TO YOU? Do I look like someone who gives a rat's ass to what you don't like? ESPECIALLY SINCE IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT MUCH TO ME. If you guys think I sound like a total bitch right now, ask yourself this. Do you not feel like punching someone in the guy who's complaining about his lack of social life EVERY DAY FOR TWO FUCKING HOURS so he can just shut the fuck up already?

There are only two solutions I can think that will solve this particular predicament; you can either find out what's wrong with you, or you can just shut up and move the fuck on like the rest of us. Because, my friend, is how reality works. Like it or not.

My brother knows why people don't like to hand around in his presence. He knows that there is nothing he can do about it. Because even though he spews out bullshit all the time, there is one thing I believe in and that's you should never try to mold yourself into someone you're not just to please someone else. Because you would be a very sad person to do so and your life will lose all of its meaning.

The problem right now is that my brother doesn't know how to accept that fact and move on. I suppose that when he does, he'll meet someone who can handle all that. I sincerely hope that happens. Really, I do.

I never stop wishing the best for people. I really never do. I always hope that Pn Yean will find out what's making her such a bitch to everyone and hopefully she can solve it. I always hope that anorexic girls out there realise that they are indeed beautiful, cheesy as it sounds. I always hope that fat people get married. And you know what? Fat people do get married. And it's not because they make such good human cushions, its because they have beautiful personalities.

I just don't know why, that every time someone has something to solve, I'm always there.

Sylvia Yacoub from The Voice takes on "The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry. This, is just freaking awesome.



GOOSEBUMPS.



Dez is just such a sweetheart. Honestly, I bet all the girls watching the show has their eyes on him. And his parents are pastors, so he just HAS to be pure, right? God, this guy. He went to Yale too, and played football. What ELSE can you ask for!??!?! The guy has the looks, can sing, the brains apparently if he got into Yale and is athletic!!! His girlfriend has got to get her game on if she wants to fend off the other ladies out there.



Another favourite of mine. He's so cute!! Just by his singing style, you can tell. The dude is a quirk. A cute one, at that.

I feel thankful for Astro Hitz, Verinia's grandmother and my radar of cute guys. If it weren't for Verinia's grandmother dropping by, the TV wouldn't stay on the same channel, and I wouldn't discover this cutie that is Yannick Bovy. He's a singer, and he totally reminds me of Michael Buble. I feel like I'm floating on Cloud 9. Just kidding, I don't go all ecstatic over something like that, but you get my drift.



is this how you feel? Theoretical love. Let's make something real, we've got a good thing going on.

Oh, just click on the play button.

Ways to ensure a good start of the day for me:

1. When I just wake up - no questions, no talking. In fact, no interaction. At least not until I had my shower and breakfast.
2. Breakfast - cannot be oily. I like my breakfasts to be healthy with as less oil as possible. No over-use of soya sauce either.
3. No rushing. 
4. No going too slow either, it irritates me more if I haven't had breakfast yet. Slow people aggravate me.
5. No drama

You know that feeling you get when you eat something really hot and spicy (in my case, potato chips)? And your eyes start to water, and your nose gets runny and you produce a large amount of saliva?
But then you don't stop because it tastes so good.

It's kind of weird how we - or in this case, I - torture myself for pleasure. It's like stabbing yourself, knowing it hurts like a bitch, but you did it because you can't resist the smell of blood.
Okay, not such a good example, but you get me.

Maybe it's part of human psychology that we do this.

Just got back from breakfast at mamak. My hair smells like mamak now. Any idea how to get rid of it without washing my hair again? It's driving me insane. Regret not putting on hair serum.
Mental reminder to never skip serum before mamak breakfast.

My Mom just pointed out to my Dad about her childhood dinner days. My Dad can get really anal about the way you start conversations so he started to go on about teaching her how to talk properly. My Mom is the kind of person who HATES it when people point out what she did wrong. So they really hit off lol.
Then my Mom, on one of her suggestive talks, told him that when she was small, the adults will give food to their kids. Like, when the kids are eating, her dad will giap a piece of meat and put it in her bowl as a sign of affection. My Mom is trying to tell my Dad he's a very affection-less man LOL my Dad retorted, saying that when he was small, no one did that. The most anyone did was the usual "JIAK PUI" (Hainanese or something for eat!) and that everyone got their own piece of meat.

I don't know. Personally, if you give me food, at least give me ones that I'll eat. Don't give me prawns when I'm happily eating my chicken. I think I made it clear enough that I HATE seafood. Sometimes, people do that just so they can torture me into eating something disgusting. Like, I ate FROGS LEGS once because the Chinese calls it "tian ji". "Ji" coincidentally means chicken.
So you know what happened.

I don't play-play when it comes to the food on my plate, okay?

I think I just ate one of the most high calorific food ever, if that makes sense. I took two biscuits. Then on one biscuit, I slathered like 0.5cm of peanut butter and on the other some butter. Honestly, I feel like I shouldn't eat anymore. 

I feel bad updating now haha. The previous post - "Purple" - was my 888th post.
Shut up, I'm Chinese. I'm entitled to SOME beliefs of luck, no matter how insane they sound.
MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY!!

Purple, that's the colour of the day.

And in the naked light I saw,
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking;
People hearing without listening;
People writing songs that voices never share;
And no one dared,
Disturb the sounds of silence.

That's "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel.

What do you call a person who's not quite close, but not quite an acquaintance either? I suppose I'll settle for a dear friend. More than that, maybe, but not quite. I'm not sure.

No I'm not in love. I don't think I'll ever really be in love, not now at least. The day is still young, and I still have things to do before I commit my heart to something else. Maybe I'll be ready soon, maybe I won't be ready at all. Maybe one day, I'll regret not opening up to anyone, but for now, I'll just settle with being friends.

I figured Michael Buble would be good for this kind of occasion  Something about his voice is just so...calming. It's the kind of voice you want to listen to on a rainy day. His voice is like Morgan Freeman's, in song form.



Someone I know is getting hitched tomorrow. Congrats, MN and Mystery Man.
Maybe you'll be the kind of married couples that balance cute arguments and plain sweet love. Maybe you'll be the kind of couples that make people smile and go, 'damn I want that too.'

Perhaps, you'll get into a huge squabble, but fret not! I believe it is a marriage norm to have huge arguments. Even if they seem to get unbearable and the ghost of a divorce passes through your mind once in a while, just have faith that it'll be better. I suppose the point of getting into an argument is how you get out of it and make up. I suppose that's the sweet part of it.

I can't really think of much to say. Because I'm not really of age to speak of such topics, or my Mom will start looking at me weird and my Dad will ban me from the Internet lol.

I think this quote from Pride and Prejudice (great book! Yes, I've read it. So sue me.) by Jane Austen will end this post well.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” 

I watched the new 007 movie yesterday - Skyfall with the family. It's been a very long time since we went out TOGETHER; like everyone together. It's always because my Dad's really busy, and my brother's weird cos he likes the night shift so his biological clock is all messed up. My Mom doesn't really like a lot of movies (she doesn't like movies that are dark, I know right. She says they're "eerie"..wtf) and my brother only likes movie successes.
Me? I like anything English lol.

Anyway, the movie was good. I give it an 8/10. Maybe it's because in this Bond movie, I actually knew what was going on. In the previous Bond movies, I had to strain my ears to get what he was saying. It seems they all whisper or something in that "low, cool voice" of theirs. It's either that or the film quality in the past sucks.

No spoilers here, just go watch it!
Adele sang the opening theme! I know right, what the hell. I don't see the relevance of the song with the movie; but independently, it's a good song :) I have issues at the part "when it crumbles" though cos she sings it like "when it crumble", pronouncing "crumble" like ke-rum-berl...

This song. It gives me the goosebumps.



Okay, this is mean and all but there's a comment that is hilarious. It's the top comment of the video above.

When you're the best of friendsHaving so much fun togetherYou're not even aware, you're such a funny pair        - Fox And The Hound, "Best of Friends" 

You'll never know what you have right now until they slip through your fingers like soft silk. They're precious; they're strong, yet they're delicate. When you go to school and meet a whole new bunch of people, you get overwhelmed. Your best friend acts as a rock; they're solid and they're always there.

When you meet a special someone you really like, your best friend will be there pumping you on.
When you get a bad grade, your best friend will be there to wipe your tears and calm you down like a steady heartbeat.
When something horrible happens to you and you don't know what to do, you can count on your best friend to be there too. Even if they aren't necessarily smart or bright, they'll try and try and try.

What are we without our best friend? Or best friends?

Every time I watch that movie "The Fox and the Hound", I always end up crying a lot. You get to see Copper and Tod construct their relationship together. The hunter tries to pry them apart, but they always find ways to meet up. It's not lovey dovey stuff, they're just best friends.
Then Copper grew up and Tod meets a girl-fox. They grew apart, and somehow or another (I forgot) they weren't "the best of friends" any longer.
But the scene where the bear was about to claw Tod, Copper still saved him. Just goes to show that your best friend will still be there though you don't necessarily like each other anymore.

It's just like that line from "One Day".

"I love you Dex, I just don't like you anymore."


CUE MY TEARS!

It would be totally cool if this happened to me. Not the dancing with the owl part, cos that would be weird cos the owl would probably peck me to death. I want Aurora's voice of a thousand singing angels. And when I get to a "secluded" place this stranger comes. Who happens to be hot and have a lovely singing voice and claims that we met in the same dream. And then we marry and live happily ever after, bearing lots of beautiful children.

That would be amazing.

Mosquitoes. They're everywhere. When I'm eating at the dining table, when I'm couch-potato-ing on the sofa, when I'm drawing, when I'm using the laptop, RIGHT THIS MOMENT EVEN. And when I try to kill them, they magically disappear from between my hands. It's dark magic I tell you. The electrical bug killer doesn't seem so inhumane any more. That blue light and the familiar sound of bugs being fried to death is so welcoming right about now.
I hate the monsoon season. It means bugs all invade homes and inhabit in all the hard to reach places because they are just so small. I'm going crazy with the lavender oil and tea tree oil. They really help, by the way. I rubbed a circle of lavender oil around these ants and they were trapped in that circle of aromatherapy.
The rain doesn't help my mood either. It makes my hair go flat, my skin gets sticky and I have to constantly be in battle mode cos mosquitoes are everywhere.

My Mom is exhibiting signs of age. She's getting more and more naggy everyday.

The thing about the new bottle had me thinking about the little things in life that makes me happy.
Like, for example; when my dog cocks its head to its side and sits and waits for me to pet it makes me happy.
It would be really nice if it stops trying to chew my fingers off though.
When I randomly try to sketch something and it turns out how I want it to be makes me VERY happy.

Okay, the songs I'm listening to just ruined the whole moment of writing this post. Maybe I'll post it sometime later. Or never lol. Depends.

See how influencing music is to someone's mood?


I don't like the rain, it triggers my lazy mode.

Mom bought me a new bottle today :D she got fed up with my old one cos the paint had chipped off and the bottom part is rounded (I'm clumsy.)
She actually nagged me for months to change it back to my old one but I refuse to because the old one stinks and the rubber has came off, so it leaks. We stumbled along a.e.i.o.u. so I looked at the bottles there. It's where I got my old one from anyway.
I actually wanted to get this fire-engine red bottle that had a ketchup label in front but my mom didn't like it. Hey, the woman's paying so I might as well go along with it. Beneath it was this set of bottles - Green Hope Life bottles I think. A classmate, Preetikha has one in peach.
There were three different logo designs, each design has two colours.
So I got this:

 Isn't it the prettiest thing ever? :D I love it. It's an awesome colour and the logo is pretty awesome (Y) oh yeah. It's a bird giving a peace sign...sitting on a peace sign. That's pretty amazing. It was between this and the whale design but the whale one didn't have it in this colour :( so yeah.
You have been a good bottle.

Both bottles are by Jeez if you're interested. You can find them everywhere - aeiou studio, MPH or SJ. They have it at other places, I'm sure.

Can't wait to bring it to school. So people won't keep going "omg what happened to your bottle?"
