not as blue as dr draken

I didn't study at all these here CNY hols. I know I’m going to regret it like crazy on Monday but for now I can’t be bothered.

This past week, condensed:

a) the acquisition of a brand new pretty purple sweater that is just sooo soft. So soft it’s fun to stroke whenever I’m bored.

b) buttering like, a millionkazillion egg sandwiches with Vanu for Mim’s birthday. I now understand why men make better chefs. It’s all about the manpower babeh. The folding and smashing and crunching and battering. It’s back-breaking work. But regardless, Vanu and I had oodles of fun. Preparing simple food does not require that many brain cells so she and I had plenty of time to discuss loads of stuff. That was fun and… illuminating. We discovered that she is much too nice for her own good and I am either completely mental or as devoted as a puppy. Fairly pathetic, but there you go. At any rate, I can’t act to save my soul so I don’t understand why my own personal jukebox keeps playing the same tune. :(

c) Mim’s surprise birthday picnic. Woke her up at 7 something after she had only 2 hours of sleep. Then blindfolded her, put a green afro on her head and took her to Lake Gardens, where she sat around blindfolded for about 30 minutes because lots of people were late.

d) my Ielts. I screwed up the speaking. Went blank for a good 30 seconds. It would be lovely to get a band score of 8.5 or 9. Yes it would.

e) CNY as Mimzy’s. Lunch that followed through with tea. And yes, yes, I must agree that the girl has better taste in boys than me. :p Salud babe.

hellooo mrs ross, well helloooooo mr rachel

How lovely would it be to live in a castle? With all the towers, extensive labyrinthine dungeons and possibly... a courtyard? And a moat of course, for protection a stuff. That would be beyond awesome. But what are the odds that I will end up living in one?

Well, never mind. I can always dream. And since I'm dreaming, it wouldn't hurt to dream up Severus Snape by my side. He would, I've decided, have Chad Kroeger's voice.

I would give anything for this.

'cause we all just wanna be big rock stars

Is it very juvenile to colour a Disney cartoon character at my age? It's just that Hades is so absolutely adorable and I had had HAD to have a picture of him. So I spent like, 2 hours drawing and then another 2ish, colouring. It was very satisfying. I haven't had so much fun since I first discovered devianart.

After the whole Hades obsession culminated at the point where I practically turned my whole house upside down looking for a set of colour pencils, I decided it was about time I rewatched Hercules. And honestly, it never occurred to me before that the Hades portrayed by Disney is blatant mischaracterization of the real Hades. Firstly, Hades is NOT evil. Ruler of the Underworld, yes. But that just means he's somewhat melancholy and grim. And aside from that, if Hades were really about to wage war with someone like Herc, there is no way he would lose. Obviously.

Anyway, I just got to thinking... Disney should have written a song for him to sing. Judge Frollo gets to belt out his tune in Hunchback, Hades should be given the same opportunity because let's face it, you can't help but love any villainous-type that sings his heart out. I mean, how else does one explain Marilyn Manson's extremely large fan base?
