The past few days have been a whore (if you will excuse the language). No, really. It's freaking boring.
Watched episode the 8th of Gossip Girl, and I gotta say, I was insanely happy that Nate and Jenny are together. I won't go on, because everything I typed just now, and hastily backspaced, was completely corny. So, yeah.

I <3 The Outing
Friday was really, really enjoyable. Although I had to wake up very early (8.40).
So yeah. I met Adeline at Redhill MRT Station at 10 and I proceeded to gush on about her general gorgeousness in the clothes department. She was wearing high heels, like a businesswoman. Classy-ass, that Adeline.
So then we walked in the very slight drizzle to the bus stop near Crescent where we met Jia Sin, and I was totally wowed by her dress sense. Super slim, and uber-fabu hair. We took the wrong bus and had to walk a long way till we finally reached CATHAY!
Love Cathay. We ate at Ya Kun Kaya Toast, where the food is absolutely delicious. Then we went up the wonderful lifts, where I clicked away with Addie's camera, possibly annoying her to no end. We debated over which movie to watch. Options: High School Musical 3, the House Bunny and Max Payne.
We chose Max Payne, cause it was cool-looking. We bought the tickets and then went on over to Plaza Sing, which JS insisted could be called "Singapore Plaza", and went to the Arcade. We played some shooting game, which Addie rocked at and I sucked at. Then Ads went on DDR. She chickened out a little (didn't you Ads?) but she was totally good at it, you could tell.
We were like ten minutes late cause JS and Adeline both had sore foots as we raced back to Cathay. Max Payne the game is awesome, according to my dearest uncle, but Max Payne the movie was nothing-special. Max himself was all emo during the entire movie, owing to the fact that his wife and kid was killed, I understand, but the plot was seriously predictable. And the whole angels/demons/wings thing? I could do without.
But it was fun sitting next to Adeline whispering comments about each lame thing that happened.
After the movie ended, we blinked a couple of times and then headed straight for Plaza Sing. Shopped for like an hour and ate at Pastamania. Yummmmmmm.
It was basically awesomeness the whole day.

just plain craziness
Nice day, man.
Started off as usual mornings do--sucky. I mean, when you have to wake up at 5.30 (okay, 5.45) in the morning, how can it not be sucky? They are worsened when there's mass run. So you think to yourself, "Why am I waking up anyway? For what, mass run? I must be deluded." Which, obviously, isn't much to go on if you want to survive those dreary mornings.
Yeah, got sidetracked just now by pingings of the MSN people. So where was I? Oh, yes. So after that we spent two short hours in class doing virtually nothing (okay, fine, we pretended to clean the O-Level classroom, which was squeaky-clean anyway) and then I went for choir (after much decision-making) and it was actually quite fun, although I had a bothersome sorethroat and could only sing the normal range. I totally adore Money, Money, Money though I no doubt suck at singing it.
And then after choir, I met up with Adeline and we travelled on the MRT and then I went to Mith's house for the Horror Movie Marathon, which I vowed I would not attend, due to the recent increase in horror movie watchation. But you know, I was super high after choir, so I was like, What the hell. I don't wanna go home so soon. So I went to Mith's.
It was hilarious, non-scary (for which I was thankful) and funky. Only one word to describe it--funky. When you put Mith, Shereen, Priya and HY in a room togther, that's the only thing that you'll get. Of course I add a certain amount of hysteria to the situation, too. And the babies were so cute! Priya and I spent the whole time gushing over them while Shereen insulted their many forefathers by wrongly comparing their faces to some teachers we know very well.
So, yes. That was crazy. But fun, very much.
And another triumph to round off the day well. We got our list of English assignments that we have to do for the hols and guess what? "I've already done two of the selection of essays on my own will on my Tablet before I even knew about this homework," chirped Zina/Mona smugly. They were "Money is the root of all evil" and "Describe your ideal home". They were both very fun to write. So I suggest, all Sec 2 souls, that you attempt them. Sigh. The ideal home one was such a freaking Primary School daydream come to life, uh, paper. I say Primary School because I now know that daydreaming doesn't mean that it will come true, so I don't waste time dreaming about gorgeous homes anymore.
I mean, look at Scream. And a hell lot of other slasher movies. Multi-storeyed houses didn't do them a hell lot of good, did they? In fact, if I was alone in my imagined ideal home, I'd be scared out of my wits if my parents stepped out for the evening with my little brother.So many corridors and rooms and levels the murderer could be hiding in...
And that is why, ladies and gentlemen, watching too many horror movies is detrimental to health.

One word: Bleah
We're gonna have a Musical Evening on November 22, a Saturday. If anyone wants to come, the tickets cost $15 each, the venue is Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music and the time is...in the evening.
I am suffering from Seven-Year-Old's-Birthday-Party-Hatred Syndrome. Namely, my brother's birthday party. It's no secret that I dislike commotion and little kids running around my room beating each other up with pillows/causing chaos. Wait...doesn't everyone hate that?
But I, unlike most souls, am not so patient. So, yeah, now my entire room looks like a tornado's been through it, and the kids are still shrieking in my ear. Okay, perhaps not in my ear, for I have taken refuge in my older brother's room, which is, thankfully, relatively devoid of those pesky little cockroaches. Wait, I am certain I have copied that phrase verbatim from one book or other.
Anyway. I have more or less given my word to Adeline that I'd write about her and here I am. Well, she's all about NEmation lately, this animation competition, in which she and her group (Justina, Yan Yee, Millicent) are representing Crescent (which, quite obviously, owns). Yeah, so support Crescent.
The website you should be checking out is this: www.nemation.sg/media_luna.aspx
Media-Luna is their name, which means Crescent Moon in...what was that?...Latin, I think. Isn't that neat? The leader of the group is very generous in allowing any amount of spamming on their page, so if you love talking online nonsense, be my guest to go check it out.

new obsessions
I have to get that CD.
Katy Perry's, I mean. Her songs are seriously addictive. The lyrics are surprisingly interesting and good. She's mostly popular for "I Kissed a Girl", which reached the UK No. 1 Singles Chart and probably the Billboard, too. That song's pretty controversial, I guess. Cause she's obviously a girl herself singing about kissing girls. Well...it was banned from radio stations in Singapore because of "glamorized lesbianism". Which doesn't say much, for this is relatively...what's the word again?...modest? Singapore. But in my opinion, the song kinda evens itself out by saying "It's felt so wrong, It felt so right" like it's just a phase or whatever. An experiment.
Well, whatever. Katy also has a song on her new album, "Ur So Gay". Which was stuck in my head the last few weeks. Some of you might've heard me singing it under my breath. Or out loud. The lyrics are funny, and so is the video. The song's about this guy who acts totally gay (wears make-up, buys branded scarves, obsesses over weight, etc) but actually isn't. I can name someone who's like that...but let's not get into that. Given my fascination with all things gay (after I read this book "Pretty Things", the whole sexuality thing is interesting to me), I liked this song so much, I kinda listened to it twenty times a day.
Now, don't shoot me looks of incredulity or bewilderment at me just yet, cause I'm just curious about such things. That's just me.
Woah, I've just blathered quite a lot. But yeah, I like writing, so.
Which brings me to that totally wacky late-coming essay I wrote that gives the reader the impression that I was totally high when I was doing it. I was sentenced to writing a 300-word essay on "Self-discipline" for two counts of late-coming. I'd completely forgotten about it till my mother confiscated my Tablet for excessive usage and I had to resort to continuing the story I was writing on paper (paper!). Then I kinda remembered the essay and started writing that instead. It started out all fine, until I started to feel bored and ended up writing an entire essay in ten minutes. I ended it with a totally sarcastic paragraph, which now that I'm in the right mind, think might get me into trouble if the teacher reads it. Oh, well. Just goes to show sometimes punishment can be fun...when you can control it, no?

Results are out, let all hell break loose
HOLLER!
Well, I wouldn't say I'm devastated with my marks. The average is alright, an A2.
The most surprising mark was that of Maths. An A2. I was so sure I was gonna scrape by with a C. Hahaha. So, I was happy with that, even though it wasn't thaaat good.
I topped the class for English. An A1. Just. So that was pretty good, I guess.
Science bummed me out really bad. I know I'm bad at Science, and thankfully, so does my mother, so I don't think I'll get much of a scolding. I got a high B for it. Wasn't satisfied, but wasn't depressed either.
My Literature skills let me down. It was the only exam I felt good about, and I got like a B4. Damn nice. It's the lowest among my marks.
Geography was alright. I got an A1. Just. The same mark as English. So that's fine.
And Bengali's gonna be added, so lucky me.
I'm not overwhelmed with happiness with my marks, because they were nothing-special with regards to my personal standards. So whatever. I'm neutral. And a bit relieved and thankful to God I didn't fail Maths. Ha-ha.
Next time.

OMJ
OMG. I am so proud of Millicent Lui. I thought I'd never see the day she declared her love for a person of the opposite sex.
I guess it's not her fault, though. No one can elude Ian O'Shea's charm. His character. His nose.
So anyway, I have a mighty flu. My throat feels like someone ran a chainsaw through it. And, needless to say, there are large amounts of used tissues scattered on top of the computer table.
Onto less vile subjects, it's Ridi Apu's birthday today! Sarah, to you guys. She's just turned 18. Finally, watching M18 movies won't be anything short of legal.
Cheers to you, Ridi Apu! You're awesome, by the way.

freedom?
Exams are officially over. And my wittiness has deserted me.
Anyway, the new poster? Edward's eyes have an unnatural crimson glow about them. And his eyes aren't even supposed to be RED. I mean, the whole point of his vampirism is that he doesn't suck human blood. His eyes have to be ochre or whatever, right? So what's with the redness, man? Bella looks innocent. Which I guess is sort of her. If Edward had been looking at her, it would've seemed like he wanted to tear her throat out. Murderous.

My Want List
And since this is the only free time I will have to go online and blog, I shall write out my Wants list.
1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins [a book]
Because I read the first chapter of it on Amazon, and it's pretty cool. (It has nothing to do with the fact that Stephenie Meyer suggested it on her blog. Much.)
2. 8 Mile THANKS YI BIN!
Eminem's in it. Need I say more?
3. Macbeth (2006) [a movie]
Totally cool, modern version. But bet it's heavily rated, though.
4. The Sims 2 [a computer game]
I mean, I've heard of it countless times but never played it before. It sounds fun.
I shall acquire them all after the exams. I shall.

I rest my case
My cousin living in Canada (Orko, for those who know him) has been very immature lately. He is only a year younger than me and yet he sends me emails saying that he knows what my blog URL is and that he has a Nintendo Wii.
I hope you read this, couz.
We have two more exams to endure: Geography and Science. Sigh, and here I am, blogging and playing Word Challenge on Facebook. Which is highly addictive, by the way. Word Challenge, I mean, not blogging. But it's like super hard to get a high score unless you play it a million times a day or something. It's for highly competitive people who just want the pleasure of beating their Facebook friends. Yes, Adeline, I'm talking about you. But it's healthy competition, I suppose.
I royally suck at it by the way, for my brain is the approximate size of an M&M. Okay, maybe it's not, but it's all empty and hollow.
Oh, well. And for Twilight news, the song "Decode" by Paramore is going to be in the Twilight movie soundtrack. I have no idea how it's suppposed to fit in because it's loud and...annoying. I've never been a huge fan of Paramore, if you get my drift.
But nevermind, apparently Muse is gonna contribute a song, too, so it will probably balance out thenoise song by Paramore.

Intimidating
Yesterday while walking to the MRT station, I had to pass by the carpark. As I trudged past a particular black car with my heavy bag, I turned to glance at the front plate to see its logo, as is my habit.
What I saw thrilled me: it was a freakin' Alfa Romeo!
The funny thing was, it looked like an ordinary car from the outside, but when I peeked into it, I saw these really grand seats with the logo etched into the headrests. It was, like, wow.
The significance of an Alfa Romeo, for those who don't know, is that it's quite rare and expensive. The first time I heard about it was in Alex Rider. It was used by some rich bad guy or something.
So anyway. It was nice to see that in my own carpark.

The significance of an Alfa Romeo, for those who don't know, is that it's quite rare and expensive. The first time I heard about it was in Alex Rider. It was used by some rich bad guy or something.
So anyway. It was nice to see that in my own carpark.

The Host
I'm reviewing this book called The Host because it is literally the only thing I can think about nowadays.
And that's not a good thing with the Lit exam three days away.
My poor mother has had to deal with frequent outbursts of "I love Ian O'Shea!" for the past few days. Maybe if I let out my feelings by writing about it, I might be able to spare her the agony. So yes, yesterday, I squealed on cue, "I love Ian O'Shea!"
And my mother was like, "Who's that?"
I beamed at her and replied, "A character in a book."
She immediately lost interest and muttered something about raising lunatic children in her own home.
So anyways. Mothers aside, The Host is a fabulous book. I feel everybody should read it. Well, OK...not everybody. It does have a hint of Science Fiction, fine, a galleon of Sci Fi (which Millicent famously pronounces as 'skee-fee') which I am clearly not a fan of, but in a nice way. Stephenie Meyer says that it's Sci Fi for people who don't like Sci Fi. People like me. It's amazing, really.
The Host is not a book for people who put down Twilight when they realised the first page was 'cheem' for them. Because Twilight should be quite easy to read, and it is, compared to The Host. In the latter, their world is completely different from ours. I suppose it requires a certain level of, um, linguistic intelligence to actually understand what's going on (I had to read the first chapter twice to grasp what was happening).
But that shouldn't discourage you. Let me tell you, the first half of the book is something of a....an endurance test thing. Because the story goes uphill, more interesting from the second half of the book onwards. It's like a reward for being able to trawl through the first half.
Because that's where Ian O'Shea comes in.
Alright, I know I can be quite a fangirl, but this guy is...wow. It's not his looks, trust me. Stephenie Meyer doesn't describe him as overly hot or anything. Not like Edward. The impression you have of Edward is immediately good because it's his appearance that is described in detail when you first encounter him in Twilight. But the first good impression of Ian you have is his character. No, I'm serious. The guy's pure. And from there, you kinda start to 'infer' that he's freaking gorgeous.
Okay, fine, I'll admit it. The first good impression I had of him was his nose.
Yes, his nose.
I quote, "I noticed that his nose was perfect--straight, aquiline the kind of nose I'd seen in pictures of famous sculptures."
Needless to say, I wrote it in my phrase book. Along with "as gorgeous as Ian O'Shea" in the physical appearance section.
Call me crazy, but I swear my lunacy is legit.
Thanks to Sham, for lending me the book that time. I owe you. No, actually, I don't.
So guys, for those who have enough brain cells, attempt to read this book. You'll love it.

Favourite Fictional Characters of All Time
1. Nathaniel Sheridan (Nicola and the Viscount)
He is amazing. He has a teasing nature, looks divine and has brains. What more could a girl ask for? Since reading about him, I have loved the name Nathaniel. Sigh.
2. Paul Slater (Mediator)
Ultimate bad boy. And super hot, too. Has a massive, but sexy ego. Reading about him made me go through that phase where you think you only like bad boys because I fell for him (yes, a fictitious character).
3. Jacob Black (Twilight)
Team Jacob all the way! He is absolutely awesome because of his fun nature. He also has “teeth that gleam bright against his russet skin”. The protagonist envies his beautiful skin colour. (And I envy her.)
4. Edward Cullen (Twilight)
Perfect in every way. He is the reason why, I believe, that Twilight is an immense success. Everything’s great about him: looks, brains, skills, attitude. Except that stick up his ass, of course. He’s freaking uptight.
5. Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl)
Another bad boy. I quoth, “resident bad boy of Gossip Girl”. He is, however, more perverted than he is bad, but we all love him because he is the only character in the show who shows his true self. Famous for his quote, “I’m Chuck Bass”.
6. Matthias Water (The Colossi, The Unheard Song)
He is an awesome bad boy. He’s also a PRINCE. Hehehehe. A prince. High Prince Matthias Water, in fact. And he drowned out the Colossi gang by redirecting some river. If that ain’t cool, I dunno what is.
7. Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl)
This child prodigy is quite well known around the world. The thing about him that make girls swoon is not his looks, but his brains. He is such a genius. He’s so brilliant, that in our heads, we imagine him to be super hot.
8. Ron Weasley (Harry Potter)
You just have to love Ron. He’s the humorous one of the trio and I adore his joking nature. He’s so adorable, too. He reminds me of Dougie, from Travis.
9. Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes Mysteries)
Do I really have to explain myself?
10. Denahi (Brother Bear)
I don’t know what exactly it was that made me like Denahi so much. Maybe it was the complete lack of hot guys in Brother Bear. He’s pretty cool, though, at the beginning. At the end, he gets all...murderous. But still love him.
11. Diego (Dora the Explorer)
He’s Spanish!
12. Tom Riddle (Harry Potter)
He’s described as “very handsome”. And he’s like the most cunning thing I’ve ever seen. Maybe when he turned green (read: evolved into Voldemort), he turned senile and lost his touch and that’s why kept getting kicked in the ass by retarded Harry Potter.
13. Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter)
Didn’t really like him in the last two books, but he has a personality of his own. We are united in our hatred (or intense dislike) for Harry. I also like him for his paleness.
14. Emmett Cullen (Twilight)
He’s big, strong and funny. Though what he sees in Rosalie is still a mystery to me.
15. Fred & George Weasley (Harry Potter)
They’re the funniest pair I’ve ever read about. When Fred died, I cried. It was so, so sad. I don’t know why, but I’ve always preferred Fred. Oh, must be that FanFic I read. Oops.
17. Bella Swan (Twilight)
The only female protaganist who doesn’t make me want to rip her throat out. Right on, Bells. And that’s because I don’t love Edward with as much passion as the average Twilighter does.
18. Carlisle Cullen (Twilight)
He’s so nice, that it’s sort of gay, but Carlisle is the hottest vampire doctor ever. (Call him Dr. McSparkly)
19. Alice Cullen (Twilight)
She’s cute, although sometimes she annoys the hell out of me. She’s super whiny about it when she wants something (like organising Bella’s wedding). But I like her because in Breaking Dawn, she shows a mutual likeness for Jacob, whom I simply adore.
20. Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
Weird, funky, quirky and absolutely brilliant.
He is amazing. He has a teasing nature, looks divine and has brains. What more could a girl ask for? Since reading about him, I have loved the name Nathaniel. Sigh.

well...
I guess I'm done with English and Bangla. They were quite OK. Although I wrote a totally crap essay for English. Bangla was damn boring. We had, like, 1.5 hours to do Paper 2, which was simple, really. So we sat there, doing nothing, for like 45 minutes. And it got really dark cause it was 8pm by the time the exam ended. Went home seriously tired. The only good point was a bunch of eye-candy. Not like I'll ever see them again. So whatever.
Gosh, I really do detest some people. Would it kill them to be nice for once?
And I'm officially in love with Fade Together. It's such a...floaty song. Like it's so peaceful and stuff.
Lady Macbeth became a frightened, weak woman who cannot handle the remorse and horror in her mind. She is driven insane by it.
Sorry. Was transcripting the Lit teacher's words.
I think I might survive today. Reminder to self: Bring the Macbeth book home. You've got a hell lot of studying to do.

eh, what?
Well today was a hell lot worser than yesterday. Mainly because of my clown-ism during PE. But yeah, I've pretty much forgotten the mortification.

oh well
Huh. I realised I keep trying to make everyone around me happy. Keep them happy. Why do I do that? It's pointless, really. Maybe I won't do that anymore. Who cares?
