a dancing demon

I cant' wait to go. I really, really, really can't. Except I'm not to keen on leeches. So the plan is to arm myself with bags and bags of salt. Sea salt... table salt... rock salt...

I've never ever even been camping before so this is like BAM! being pushed into the deep end. Well, Plop! actually.

No.

Splash!

I'm re-reading all of HP before I watch HBP.

And... I miss Buffy. The post-Faith, pre-Riley episodes.

when all is said and done - trapt

A new beginning. A fresh start. A brand new day and all that.

where will i be?

i guess i'm on the run,

and time is catching up behind me.

But then why do I keep going back to back then? I guess because fantasising about how things could be makes me feel happy, even if just for a moment.

Why dwell on the unhappy past? Not helping that I'm listening to Trapt all over again. I used to love them, or well, their songs. But um, not the most cheerful of bands. Plus, you know how music sort of acts as a memory trigger? Yeah. I used to listen to them obsessively over and over again while reading angst-ridden ss/hg stories online. So it's kind of making me feel all... blah. Can't stop though.

On to happier (and more noteworthy) things. My prom was held last night. The prom itself was really good. Was a million times better than my secondary school prom, possibly the saddest affair I have ever attended. Highlights were the teachers' performance; they were so adorable and entertaining. And of course taking pictures with some of the people I care most about. Don't know much about the food although it looked pretty good. Was much too nervous to eat because had to go on stage for prom king/queen nominee challenges. And for that I have to thank my classmates who decided to put my name down on a day I was absent from class. I think they thought it would be hilariously funny. Stomach ache, rolling around in their seats, kind of funny.

But it was not as bad as I expected it to turn out. I didn't pass out on stage or anything, thank goodness. And they were very supportive with the screaming and all :)

Oooh... and a formal, most sincere apology to Amrit. I hope I didn't cause him any future spinal problems during the whole sitting-on-him-while-he-did-push-ups challenge.

On to the pictures then.

Have you seen a prom king-ier/queen-ier pair? We should have won I tell ya.

'Cause she's so hot. I got horny.

<3

oh, the simple need

Exams are over babeh.

Am so relieved. Finals are weeks away. Hmm... am a happy bunny right now. Especially because I bought myself the most gorgeous dark green jeans ever.

And tomorrow? More shopping :)

I thought this was hilariously cute.

all alone with the sheep

Sa has left. :( For Trinity. Said my bye's yesterday but woke up feeling miserable. It's like everyone is leaving. By September everyone will be on opposite ends of the earth. Even I may be flyflyflying away to Ireland. But recently I've been seriously considering Australia. I think I'm willing to do the basic degree/extra 9 months thingy. After all I have family there. And what is life without family and friends?

It's nice that we got to spend more time than usual together the past week. We were able to have in depth discussions concerning love-handles, the whole stabbing incident (hilarious :D), Richard and David. It was pretty awesome. So understandably I was pretty torn up today.

Blaah. I hate it when I get into one of these moods.

It helped when I went over to Mim's earlier today though. We bummed around but it made me much happier. I have wonderful friends. I hope that 10/20/30/40... years from now we'll still be vegetating with one another :p.

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?
