what's everybody's is nobody's

  • Nov. 5th, 2009 at 12:17 PM

I learnt this in economics. Public Goods.Things that everyone shares is in actual fact, nobody's property. But one, I was never really any good in economics and two, being the ever persistent person, I always want what's not mine. Cue drama music.
Yes yes, everybody says you set yourself up for heartbreak and misery, but since misery loves company, Ta-Da, here I am to stay loyally by its side. Kass will kick me if she sees me talking like this.
Anyway, why is it by human nature we never want whats good for us?? Why do we always hanker after the things that are bad for our health, inevitably leading us down the path of doom? I know I wanted to take psychology precisely because of this. But I guess a minimal understanding of the forbidden fruit theory will have to suffice.
Should I listen to him and consider who EVERYBODY thinks is a good choice? Is it right to like someone that doesn't make your heartbeat quicken but does things that you've been looking for such that slowly you start to realise THIS is what you really want despite it not coming from that one? Can you still like a public good like the wind?
No. Safety first. Self-preservation is an inherent part of our nature. Hey, willpower is a powerful tool, if lies can become the truths then so can this. Maybe I always did like the chase, once in hand it starts to lose its fascination. A star is brighter up in the sky than as a mere rock up close.
ok, so before it starts to bite more than it should out of me, let's place a full stop at the end of that nagging little thought.
I am now a happier person!

12.34:56pm. honestly! =)

Fighting a Wall

  • Oct. 28th, 2009 at 9:06 PM

One speaks of despair and the other of hope. And it's Fall Season!
Rahh, mummy and daddy are pissed at me for staying out past my bedtime with him.
2am to be specific.
but what mummy and daddy fail to realise is that I have been still mugging and ace-ing my tests so far, just that I refuse to shout it to the world lest people call me 'hao-lian' you know? but ah what the hell.
I had FUN. Fun which I haven't had in ages because I could forget about work, about school, about student loan debts and saving money and honour rolls, to just laugh and have a good talk and laugh with someone who can read me so easily.
yes, I was surprised and completely caught off guard to say the least when the statement
"you're really easy to read." was used on ME. way to knock me off my feet. I thought I was the one supposed to use that phrase on the hundreds of people who I've come across.
Then I realised, I couldn't read this one person no matter how hard I tried. Not even a little. Fascinating first.
Argh people say we have chemistry, but what is chemistry but mere science? and what does science have to do with feelings??
Man the supposed evolutionalized, is contradicting. Blahh. And me a mere human is confused with that one thought.
Do I like the person or the mere idea of him? If so, how can it be possible to stop myself from feeling as and when I want? Is it a mere illusion? A mirage of something thirsted for but not there?
Like-minded beings are a doomed prospect from the start?
Eep hates many questions with elusive answers and refuses to put myself on the frying platter if I'm not gonna die for a good reason.
I never did like the fall.

Tokio Hotel - Automatic
Automatic...
You’re automatic and your hearts like an engine
I die with every beat
You’re automatic and your voice is electric
but do I still believe?
It’s automatic every word in your letter
The lie connects the beat
It’s automatic when you say things get better
but they never…

There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
Why do I keep loving you
It’s so automatic calling comes from the crossroad
They come and go like you
It’s automatic watching faces I don’t know
Erase the face from you

It’s automatic
Systematic
So traumatic
You’re automatic

There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
Why do I keep loving you
Automatic
Automatic
Automatic
Automatic

Each step you make
each breath you take
your heart,
your soul,
remote controlled
This life is so sick
You’re automatic to me

There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
There’s no real love in you
why do I keep loving you
automatic... there’s no real
automatic... love in you
automatic... why do I
automatic... keep loving you
it's automatic…

Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet
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 tried so very hard not to loose it;
I came up with a million excuses,
I thought I thought of every possibility,

And I know some day that it’ll all turn out,
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out,
And I promise you kid that I give so much more than I get~ mmm.......
I just haven't met you yet.

Mmmmm ....

I might have to wait,
I’ll never give up,
I guess it's half timin', and the other half's luck,
Wherever you are,
Whenever it's right,
You'll come outta nowhere and into my life.

And I know that we can be so amazin',
And baby your love is gonna change me,
And now I can see every possibility, mmmmmm....

Somehow I know that it’ll all turn out,
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out,
And promise you kid, I'll give so much more than I get, mmmm....
I just haven't met you yet.

They say all’s fair
in love and war
But I won’t need to fight it,
we'll get it right an',
we'll be united

and I know that we can be so amazin',
And bein' in your life is gonna change me,
And now I can see every single possibility, mmmmmm

And someday I know it'll all turn out,
And I'll work to work it out,
Promise you kid I’ll give more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get.

Oh, you know it'll all turn out,
and you'll make me work so we can work to work it out,
And promise you kid to give so much more than I get, yeah
I just haven't met you yet.

I just haven't met you yet,
Oh, promise you kid,
To give so much more than I get.

I said love love love love love love love.....
I just haven't met you yet
Love love love .....
So doy day ay ay ay, ay ay yeah
I just haven't met you yet!

uncontrollable

  • Oct. 15th, 2009 at 3:12 AM

Uh-Oh.
=)=

so so so confusing.
so uncontrollable.
so... nice?
rahh I hate being out of control. I hate thinking, feeling, so unlike myself.
I resent the feeling out being so out of touch with who I am yet smiling like a fool sometimes.
Don't start something you can't finish is something we all know.
But somehow again and again, two entities in one body will NEVER agree.
stupid H&M.

GAG. massively feel like somebody swung a baseball bat into the back of my head. And I mean that literally, not metaphorically or anything. pounding pounding head.
beating beating heart.
suddenly I wonder, why they call it a heartBEAT?

No closure before someone else jumps in.
blah.

and at 318am, pet doesnt make any sense anymore.
dkasjrefncjsdkgnsjrhjiq4wopqdijjsnclsgtwepr wnehh....

that's what you get

  • Oct. 5th, 2009 at 9:25 PM

Pet is so tired nowadays its hard to figure out when day falls into night falls into day.
Sadly, self-fulfillment is not the cause of this ailment called exhaustion.
probably too much fun and too little sleep is the given diagnosis.
Hmm... while fun with colleagues and shang friends is massive fun, i miss YFB. I miss sitting down and chatting about stupid random meaningless things and still laughing my brains out, feeling that happy sense of tiredness set in from a day of nothing but talk and walk.
meanwhile, I manaed to get my hair done today! not the red that i wanted, but at least its a happy brighter brown as opposed to the black jungle mane sitting atop my heavy head. mild happiness.
Major happiness? managing to meet serena today for lunch and to do our hair together.

Reading through old writings...

Paramore
No sir, well, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat
We're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide, you have made it harder
Just to go on
And why, all the possibilities
Well, I was wrong

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel
When you're not here?
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built
When you were here

I still try holding onto silly things
I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities
I'm sure you've heard

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

Now I can't trust myself
With anything but this
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
 

none the better

  • Sep. 7th, 2009 at 10:41 PM
vampiress
want to lie down and go to sleep for a long long time...
and wake up to find a better time
want to sit myself down in a shadow and cry
want to stand in the hot white sunshine and smile

so so tired...

and serena's friend's song only you is stuck in my head.

We were always meant to say goodbye

  • Aug. 26th, 2009 at 9:19 PM

Hate lonely rainy days stuck at home with nothing to do.
Hate thinking about things I should've stopped thinking about a long time ago.
Hate not forgiving myself for things I shouldn't need to forgive myself for.
Confused?
Indeed.

Bah. Without the constant interaction with people, I tend to sink into depression and crippling emo-ness.
And lately it seems, into the familiar taste of alcohol.
I need closure and a new beginning.

I just want to say, I hope that nightmare is over and we can all move on. There's no need for anyone to pull out of anywhere and disappear into nowhere. We should be way past all that. In another light, if one were to disappear, wouldn't the other have to face the music? I hate that. And besides, it's been months, how long can you keep running before you need to stop and breathe? I'm done wanting to know what you think anymore. I just miss being friends.

Meanwhile, I just caught kelly clarkson's new song - already gone and already I'm in love with it. Come to think of it, I haven't found a song of hers which I dislike yet. Hmm.

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry

Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

Already gone, already gone, already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

Don't think too much into it please. It means nothing at all except that I like the song and it's currently stuck in my head. =)

LONG overdue brain trauma

  • Aug. 16th, 2009 at 10:10 PM

Havent had the time to update my lj even though my intention of setting it up was to update constantly as opposed to my old blog.
However I have been so bloody ass tired from everything that even staring at my un-updated lj is exhausting me. lol.
Yes yes I know its no good excuse to bum off and leave this webpage to burn in hell, so here I am dutifully updating.
Hmm... where to start?

In my traces of memory, over the past week or so since my last update, I believe our nation has celebrated its 44th birthday! kudos to that and I must say, we put up one helluva show, live around the world.
I wonder why...  >.- haha. whatever the case, I'm sure the thousands spent on the fireworks was worth it. I know it was for me!

Also, recently was the banquet chalet in which I had massive tons of fun and massive amounts of energy lost. let's recount, first night went down after work from 7am with Jason, met with Karen, no dinner I might add. Proceeds to chalet where we discover 40 bottles of wine (red/white), champagne. Went for a walk then bowling following which spammed countless bottles of wine playing drinking games with wu jie and alwyn. Passed out at 3am, woke at 7am, report to work all brilliantly and beautifully hungover. Ask anyone working the following day for gory details to my day. Sped off at 3pm, went home took a gloriously hot shower, tried to sleep, got kept awake by Chris' call refusing to let me sleep (bloody bugger you). slept for 1 hour, went to eat dinner then proceed to chalet again for another round of passing out and bowling. Cheers to Alwyn for getting drunk even before I got there. lol. Well, thats that in a pretty picture. I'm too shagged to go into details. But bottom line is, I HAD FUN thanks to the energy-fuelled banquet team.

MOST IMPORTANTLY THOUGH THIS PAST WEEKS, I WENT CLUBBING WITH KASS!!!! HAHA gosh have I completely missed you. Wnehh... can I kidnap you and keep you in singapore. I will be lonely otherwise. =(
haha that night clubbing with you, ali, ian, roy was probably the best fun I've had in eons. yes I got a lil drunk again, but the point is, I FINALLY GOT TO CLUB WITH YOU AGAIN.
dont know if after that experience you will go again but yes, now I am contented. shall not go into details of the fun that day, but I have discovered dbl o on fridays plays awesome music, and dancing on the topmost platform wearing stilettos wasn't my best idea ever. needless to say there was another hungover day at work on saturday and now I'm sure everyone at work thinks I'm the worst alcoholic ever.

Hmm, let's see. went drinking yest with the guys from work at this really wulu pub and discovered you can shove hard liqour down my throat and I won't get drunk, but give me a jug of beer and off I go into wonderland. Beer, my friends, is my dearest enemy and the bane of my existence. unfortunately, it is the love of some of my friends lives so training is in progress. Beer belly impending doom anybody?
there goes my hope of a second belly piercing. I miss that.

on a side note, I was going through all the old photos of our past gatherings, and i just want to say, I MISS YOU GUYS. and to be clear, ALL YOU GUYS.
ps : we take too many photos. I have 1000+ photos on my fb. i think it's feasible to consider hiring a photographer to follow us around on our outings yes? let's discuss that at the next YFB meeting. LOL.

ok, I have spammed too much and rested too little. Here's a kiss to all my loves and for goodness sake please reappear and meet up more often so you guys can STOP ME FROM DRINKING. I'm turning into the next alicia. LOL no offense darling, you know we love our drinks too much already. I honestly can't remember most nights of what I do or did. which I know is F* terrible but I cant bring myself to give a big damn about. HELP.

ok I'm gg off... loves.

 

Star Service

  • Aug. 3rd, 2009 at 7:08 PM

After attempting to do service at banquet for the past two weeks at shang (I say attempt cause there's ALOT I don't know), I've really started to appreciate good service. Why I talk about this is because I've started to notice the terrible service staff in and about Singapore. Talk about horrific experiences.

Scenario 1 :
Before the chalet stay at Goldkist, the girls decided to meet for lunch in town with all our heavy luggage and gifts before heading down to check in. So we gathered at Swensens in Plaza Singapura for a quick relaxing bite. All throughout lunch we were greeted by solemn grumpy faces that looked as if they would be happier shovelling hippo poop in africa than serving us in the air conditioned restaurant. Why? I suspect they thought we were a bunch of poor kids pooling our resources together to dine at that place. Throughout lunch, our order came later than everyone else's, our requests were met with stony grouchy faces, and when the food arrived, it was more slammed on the table than placed. Imagine the change of attitude when one whips out a credit card to settle the bill for all. If they could kiss our feet in apology they might have. Suddenly it's "Thank you Ma'am. Thank you", "Thank you for dining with us!" Please. if you had good service attitude, it wouldn't be about the money but about making your guests feel special despite the amount they spend.

Scenario 2 :
Once at Goldkist, we had to settle the catering bill and food menu for the party the next day, so upon Tim's request Kass and I trooped down to the caterer's where we enquired about our catering menu which was by right already settled by Tim and should have been in their system, supposing they had one. Which to our immense horror we discovered that they didn't have. Not only that, upon asking for assistance, we were greeted once again by stony, unsmiling, blur faces that made us feel like we were speaking Russian. To their sole credit, they asked us to call for the FnB manager who might be able to help us. Relieved we said ok, only to have the following conversation played out.

"You can look for Mr. Vinay, the FnB Manager."
"Ok, is he around?"
"Uh, No. He go home."
"Oh. So we can call him?"
"Uh, yes." followed by a long unhelpful pause where we expected to be given his contact number.
"So can we then have his contact number?!"
Followed by another long pause where I had to look at the menu to get his number by myself before stalking off.

I believe I have never wanted laughing gas to be injected into some people so badly before. Just to plant a fleeting smile onto their faces.

Meanwhile, while we talk about horrendous service, I would like to commend great ones which of course should not be overlooked lest people say I am biased, cynical or pessimistic.

While I set off early for work one day to buy new shoes beforehand, I decided to buy some snacks for my colleagues and myself knowing I wouldnt have the time for lunch. Now in town, I know shops open at 11plus to 12pm, but I decided to try my luck at Chippy's just in case. So approaching the counter, I asked if the shop was open, not hoping for much. But behind the counter was the most helpful friendly staff who decided to go beyond her duty and get my order ready before she even finished setting up the stall, even apologizing for taking such a long time to prepare my order even though by right she didn't have to prepare anything at all. long story but THAT is what you call great service.

NEW SONG STUCK IN HEAD!
I really really need to rob people of songs now... I am sorely lacking in music therapy.
meanwhile I'm lacking in a feather for my hat!
yes, although juemin thinks I'm putting too much effort into the party, how often do you get to be a pirate??

Beautiful Nightmare
Every night I rush to my bed
with hopes that maybe I’ll get a chance to see you
when i close my eyes
i’m goin outta my head
lost in a fairytale
can you hold my hands and be my guide


clouds filled with stars cover your skies
and i hope it rains
you’re the perfect lullaby
what kinda dream is this

you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
my guilty pleasure i ain't goin no where
baby long as you're here
i’ll be floating on air cause you're my
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you

i mention you when i say my prayers
i wrap you around around all of my thoughts
boy you my temporary high
i wish that when i wake up you’re there
so wrap your arms around me for real
and tell me you’ll stay by side

clouds filled with stars cover your skies
and i hope it rains
you’re the perfect lullaby
what kinda dream is this

you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
my guilty pleasure i ain't goin no where
baby long as you're here
i’ll be floating on air cause you're my
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you

tattoo your name across my heart
so it will remain
not even death can make us part
what kind of dream is this?!

you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
my guilty pleasure i ain't goin no where
baby long as you're here
i’ll be floating on air cause you're my
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you

I would love it if you send me this!

when I look at you my mind goes on a trip

  • Jul. 17th, 2009 at 6:51 PM

Hmm ok I know serena already posted this up on her blog, but now the song is stuck in my head.

I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in, and knocked me on my face
Feels like in I'm a race
 

Say you gotta put the good with the bad, happy and the sad
So will u bring a better future than I had in the past
Oh cause, I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call
And if it hits better make it worth the fall
(When it comes around)

Won't see it coming when it happens, hey
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love knocks you down

_________________________________________________________________________

I haven't been blogging in awhile I know, but that's because I've been crazy mad tired. No, contrary to popular belief, it's not because of work. That I can handle. Unfortunately. My mind's been so empty lately it's been starved for a challenge to push it to its limits before I end up feeding on my kaleidoscopic thoughts and sinking into dark depths.
Hmm wonder if you know what I'm talking about...

Meanwhile, the chalet is coming up, which means I get to spend days with most of my closest, running about and dressing up as sailors, pirates, sirens, water nymphs etc etc, going to the water park, clubbing, stuffing my face.
I should remember to bring my CAMERA else I regret it.

other than that, I gag on the stagnancy that is my life, wishing to be a roaming pirate knocking on death's door.

new life motto

  • Jun. 29th, 2009 at 2:03 PM

I FINALLY created skype! After donkey years of being pushed and yelled at by friends and relatives, so there.
Ok fine, so skype was not so much created BY me, but more like FOR me, same as my first blog, hotmail, facebook etc etc.
BUT! at least I have it right??
Anyway...
Yay! this means more convos with Kass, Cleo, Weng, among others.
I will take cleo up on her offer of a free (T&C applies) stay with her at chicago soon =)

Signing off...
With this song I remember why I LOVE nickelback.
as per the title above, That is my new life motto. haha

Nickelback - If today Was Your Last Day
My best friend gave me
The best advice
He said each day's a gift
And not a given right
Leave no stone unturned
Leave your fears behind
And try to take
The path less traveled by
That first step you take
Is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
If today was your last day

Against the grain
Should be a way of life
What's worth the prize
Is always worth the fight
Every second counts
'cause there's no second try,
So live like you'll
Never live it twice
Don't take the free ride
In your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
[ Nickelback Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day...
Would you make your mark
By mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late
To shoot for the stars,
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'cause you can't rewind
A moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
'cause the hands of time
Are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late,
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

Now to run off and rob people of songs...

tribute to MJ

  • Jun. 28th, 2009 at 12:53 AM

The world is in despair.
The Legend, The King, Michael Jackson has passed on.
It's difficult to say it out loud even, because speaking the words are, were almost like a blasphemy.
Everyone just expected MJ to live on forever, whether for their own sick amusement to mock and sneer at, or because he was loved so much people expected him to be around for ever because of it.
It just goes to show that you don't really know anything do you?
Whatever it is and whatever people may say, the man changed the world whichever way you wanna look at it.
Think about it, "Heal the World" till today remains unbeaten for one song that managed to raise that much money for charity.
And after reading Alicia's LJ about the person who said
"farah fawcett died and went to heaven.
god granted her one wish and she wished for
the safety for all the children of the world.
the next day, michael jackson died.",
I only have ONE thing to say to that person.

I hope someone doesn't die and wish for Him to make the world a Smarter place, cause then you'd be the next to Drop Dead.

It is true, the geniuses of the world are hardly appreciated in their time.
One thing I'd disagree with Alicia on though.
It isn't a waste that he died before his July concerts, the fact that the tickets were sold out says enough about him proving something to all the MJ haters.
Success breeds jealousy, that's all.

Zzzz.... by right I should be at work by now. but life always goes by left. haha
so by left, I am at home after returning from the bank to settle my student loan with this nameless grouchy smile-less financial consultant from OCBC Bank, Sun Plaze Sembawang branch.
why did I state the whole bank and branch name out?
because i'm not afraid to let her know, her SERVICE SUCKS.
hello, I just borrowed money from your bank, which means 8000+ in interest which your bank will earn, so it shouldn't kill you to plaster even a fake smile on your plastic face for 5 min.
if you're wondering who Kelly (OoPs!) is, drop by sembawang branch, there're only two of them there, a thousand points if you figure out who.

Ok, the ranting part of my day over, I am worrying over the start of school which is in approximately 1.5 weeks.
Yes of course the bloodthirsty desire to learn is overwhelming me, but the whole going back to the juvenile social hierachy of the school system is a major turn off.
Let's just grit our teeth and do it shall we?
Audrey is going to be my mugging buddy, and Tim is going to be my unofficial / official tutor.
(I will pay him in souvenirs ^.^)
Let's see how good a balancing act I can pull off while working and studying at the same time.
~~~~~
For the interest section of today, let's take a look at 12/13 yr old actress Emily Hirst!
Go google a picture of her and tell me
Does she not look exactly like Emma Watson in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone??
I think she does. Plus she makes one helluva convincing vampire elder for a 12 yr old.
(I watch too much tv)
Speaking of tv shows, we move onto Harper's Island, which I have been closely following for the past few weeks trying to figure out the eternal "who dunnit?"
Imagine my disappointment when we find out (to date at least) alas! the killer returns from the past!
Ooh, creative aren't we.
One up for the "Thriller of the Year".
I mean yeah, you got an original tagline "one by one..." spoken by a truly creepy looking kid, but what else? Besides a shabby plot, we're only sadists hanging on just waiting to see how the now shit scared puppets get killed off.
Final Destination anyone?
~~~~~
Ok that's it for the day.
Next up on my agenda :
  • Early childbirth among some people
  • How to throw a proper celebration (party invite steps included)
**Names will be changed for the protection of my physical health. Any references to familiar or guilty parties is purely purposeful. I mean ACCIDENTAL! (OoPs again!)

No Surprise

Ok this used to be up on my old blog.
but although out with the old, in with the new, this song still plays over and over in my head.
Daughtry is the love. How the hell does the man come up with such apt songs every time some shit comes in?!


Meanwhile, I just want to say.
"I hope to God you find some closure with yourself. Because this is becoming crazy of me to go this way. Yes yes, I'm being honest and truthful for once because I'm sick of everyone asking where the hell you've been and gone and I don't know and honestly don't want to give a damn anymore. I'm not being rude. Just, all along, though you said you knew I wouldn't run, I knew all the time that you would."

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise


 

I LOVE IT

Testing testing 123...
voila!
after many baffling bewildering years of debate over blogs, i have decided to create a livejournal.
so here I stand, completely lost and clueless after about 2 hours of toggling.
If we are to be honest, i hereby raise my hands proudly, wave it around madly, and declare
"I, am a computer idiot."

Just to be clear, this is not on any other factor. I am otherwise, quite ingenious.
(or so I'd like to believe. you'll find many who protest otherwise I gurantee.)
I kid.

I also do not speak like this and will slap anyone who does.

Hmm... Moving on.
besides setting up this blog, I have nothing else to do, considering its so freakin bloody cold my ass froze to the seat.
ok, i should go delete my old blog, promote my livejournal and be happy.
=)

Oh. and remember my livejournal url as well.
