still in the valley

...because I'm trying to organise my thoughts.

1) Sarawak was loads and loads of fun. Funny, lovely people, no leech bites and so much food. The quantities that we consumed... honestly, I'm surprised I'm still able to walk from place to place and am not forced to use a buggy or whatever. I suppose all the trekking (and there were lots of it) balanced our gluttony. I flew all by myself, btw. How awesome is that? Took the correct flight and everything, and there was my dad panicking over how I would end up in Latvia or something.

2) Watched Transformers 2 twice. Both times in the theater, no less. First on Marcus's birthday and the second time my brother begged me to take him. But I didn't mind because, how beyond beautiful/sexy is Megan Fox anyway? Have become a huge fan of hers. And alright, her interviews are a bit odd -she seems incapable of conducting herself normally- but whatever. It just makes her more interesting I guess. She is my girl crush :)

3) It is, I have decided, completely idiotic to become overly enthusiastic over something. Or to yearn for something so badly you waste hours and hours for months over it. But is it really surprising that I did just that? Waste my time over something completely stupid and useless? It's like my calling card.

Hi! Do you know of a new way waste my time and/or depress me? Call *********!

It is especially idiotic if the thing you have been waiting for so long... is to watch a movie. Vallee des Fleurs was so disappointing. Well alright, so I haven't actually finished watching it, but so far (30 minutes into the movie) it is nothing but heaving bosoms and well sculpted derrieres. It's like an extremely bad ss/hg fan fic. The type where the author has obviously had one too many Firewhiskeys and was probably struck by Eros's arrow in some inappropriate place. You know the type... throbbing blah blah's and emerald green satin sheets that glimmer in the soft moonlight that shines incandescently through Gothic-styled arches, smooth and curved as the voluptuous arc's of Aphrodite's limbs.

And you know, you just KNOW that these idiots see Snape, not as a greasy haired git but as some pompous, women-romancing type (note the plurality) fool. AND it's like they just discovered the wondrous powers of an online thesaurus.

I went of track. Hm, so aside from the offensive bums and breasts, there was the whole stealing of luck through one's shadows. I guess I just expected to be blown away by an epic Asian romance with a slight LotR fantasy thing going on. Sigh. But this is life after all, so we must learn to expect the worst.

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.
