koe wo kikasete

Hi guys!
Lately the computer has been a magnet I've been trying to get rid of. But I can't cause of bingu, music, tumblr, flickr, plurk etc. And now I'll attempt to let OP / I&R be the main reason. :D
Been having PW madness. And oh I tell you, chionging pw in class is fun, with the lights off and almost everyone tapping away at their laptop except me, trying to memorise the script. I truly think so, I have no idea why too. It just feels so.
I have been getting my energy in music. :) My latest fave is Let Me Hear Your Voice by BigBang. :D I'm absolutely sorry if I sound like a fangirl in my previous post, 'cause I think I'm evolving into one, somebody save me please.
JIAYOU EVERYONE. WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH.
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
PW MADNESS!
P.S. Please appreciate every single "!" you see because it's been painstakingly searched in my comp's database and pasted here. My keyboard's "!" is disabled.
P.P.S. Mainly using tumblr from now on, but still keeping this place alive. Oh I'm sure you'll be able to find me though.
Hey sorry kept forgetting to check my tagboard :P
Here are the replies!
/th: Cooked vermicelli :P
xiuli: LOL kk I shall refer later :D
VAN: Hey thank you :D Yeap doesn't hurt alr, but still have to wear the thingy. :(
jiajia: Thank you :D I can go out with you soon! After my OP! My ankle doesn't hurt now :D
zt: Hehe you're amazing. I can't agree with all of them though. Thank you for the bubbles again :D
fel-: Welcome here! Thanks ah. -.- You jiayou too! Heh don't care I still can type "!" :D

Random Thoughts From People Our Age

Just to keep my blog alive (and kickin'):
I came across a post on Tumblr ages ago. People were reblogging it. So I decided to post it here.
Random Thoughts From People Our Age (Things that apply to me):
1.I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
2.More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
3.Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
4.I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
5.Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
6.That’s enough, Nickelback.
7.I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
8.Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?
9.Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
10. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
11. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.
12. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.
13. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
14. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in. (siao sure die one lol! I’d rather make more trips)
15. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
16. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
17. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
18. Was learning cursive really necessary? (never was, but fun!)
19. Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”. (nonono! That’s my catchphrase!)
20. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. (easy for me!)
21. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying. (that goes for any MCQ test)
22. My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.
23. Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
24. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said? (about 3 times I suppose, after that I give up HAHAH)
25. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
26. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”
27. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other? (LOVE THIS ONE)
28. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
29. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
30. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. (but it’s an art form in itself because you can tell so much from it, e.g. financial background)
31. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
32. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. (I half agree with this one, esp during long overseas trips.)
33. I would like to officially coin the phrase ‘catching the swine flu’ to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: “Dave caught the swine flu last night.”
34. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
35. Bad decisions make good stories
36. Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
37. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
38. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible. (OMG CARMEN SANDIEGO LOVE HER! HAHA)
39. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem…
40. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
41. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection. (I’ve a limited collection :[ )
42. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
43. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to. (SO TRUE.)
44. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
45. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’ (yes but I’m so used to having the remote in my hands, dunno why)
46. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
47. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
48. When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
49. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
50. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
51. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists. (nope they conserve environment)
52. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
53. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
54. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
55. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
56. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket or Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I bet everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
57. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
58. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
59. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
60. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. [HAHAHA I THINK SO TOO. But won’t it use up more electricity! Conserve! :)]

ColorGenics is amazing. I don't know if it is pure coincidence. Got this on my second try. (wasn't really 'conscious' on my first try so I got weird results)
At this time you are really feeling quite exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling that is going on about you and you are looking for some sort of protection from this state of affairs. Ideally you are seeking a peaceful condition and a tranquil environment in which you can be afforded the chance to relax and recover.
The way things are at this time is causing you considerable stress and anxiety. Your friends and acquaintances consider you to be - to say the least - difficult and unapproachable. Now it is because of this that you need to find some sort of solution. By doing nothing and waiting for matters to right themselves will only make things worse, but don't rush into making hasty decisions - make haste slowly.
You are not an argumentative sort of person and 'rather than fight - you'd switch' (an old cigarette ad cliche). But when you try to assert yourself - as sometimes you may try to do - you meet with so much resistance and effrontery that manifests itself so obviously that you become hurt, indignant and resentful. So in order to have peace and quiet you tend to become inhibited. You keep it all to yourself but deep down, you 'feel' and 'hurt' a lot. (happens all the time)
For whatever the reason, you find it extremely difficult to sustain relationships - that is to sustain them in the manner that you would wish. You are a very gentle sort of person, full of feeling, sensitivity and susceptible to love and affection, looking and longing for a partner with whom you can enjoy 'All things bright and beautiful' - someone with whom you can seek out the more esoteric things of life. But up to now this person has only existed in your imagination. You are very choosy, appreciative, refined and extremely artistic in temperament and it is your hope to seek others who will allow you to form and express your own taste and judgement and who at the same time may assist you in your intellectual or artistic growth.
In the past your trusting attitude has often been misunderstood and so you have needed to protect yourself against your tendency to be abused and taken advantage of. As a consequence you possibly adopt an aloof and critical attitude and you are only willing to let your guard down once sincerity and trustworthiness can be assured.
Gonna attempt cooking lunch. Aha. :)

As if nothing's wrong

I'm enjoying my un-deserved and temporary freedom until it lasts. My brain needs a break. I don't care if it's not justified.
I'm thinking if I should move to tumblr. But it just doesn't feel right if I move there. I can't bear to leave this place :) Besides, I have my share of photos on flickr. Tumblr shall just be my eye-candy place then :D
I'm really jaded. When I finished my last paper today I thought I'd be liberated. But all I felt was emptiness. And the dreaded feeling that I'd get retained, for sure.
There are many things I wanna type here but I'd better not. Some things are better kept to myself, or people who really matter :)
Alright outing tmr with peeps. I hope I'd have the energy to. I'm having inertia, omg. Where's the enthusiasm I've been wanting to have? Now that I have a short break, I don't even feel like going anywhere but slack and rot. It's a kind of luxury :)
Oh oh oh and mid-autumn celeb with family :D Looking forward to it.
On a sidenote, HAPPY BELATED NATIONAL DAY, CHINA! 我爱中国。The NDP ytd was impressive. Wow. Loved the fireworks. :) Thank God for live CCTV channels.
Been thinking about stuffs in The Daily Bread. Thank you Karmen :D I'll read it every day.
P.S. I LOVE T.O.P (L) His voice makes me feel better. Omg this is scary 'cause I've never been fangirling (like checking out vids and dramas on youtube). This is the first time (and I hope the last, really kills my time, although it's worth it :P). D:
Replies!
van: Hellooooo go out someday, really wanna spend more time with you :)
zt: Thanks for reviving it :D I hope someday you'll go out and take pics with me again. :)
xiuli: Haha what's with your flat fingers lah? No probs, thanks so much, it was nice talking with you :D Thanks for accompanying me to eat Mcflurry, LOL. Yay the songs are nice right? OWLCITY :D Ohyes I'd love to have it, thank you duper much :D

I'm holding on to something and I did not know why

A lil update here.
For the whole week i've been occupied with studying, Publications which I doubt matters, mugging in library, and stuff.
rahhh.
1. Change of classroom to Learning Centre! Kinda guilty to the people who need it, but it's really a great studying environment, I love it :)
2. Been sleeping at 12+ for the whole week. I've got to get used to it. (sleep dependent)
3. Publications was okay, still dragging everything. Linda send me the headings PLEASEEEEEE.
4. Spirits Play yesterday. Was okay, not what I expected but still okay. I like the different languages layering into each other, a mixture of sounds, a rhythm of melodies (does this even make sense?) And the scares! They used the first sentence of the Bible in the last sentence of the Play. It was smth impactful, the start of something being the end of another, I wonder what that means. Is the director/scriptwriter against, or for religion?
5. Studied with Olivia at library before setting off on the bus. LOL I can't really study when eating and w her around :D
6. Wedding dinner tonight, chionging all my stuff now, argh.
7. PW tmr! which means no time for me to do Math revision, econs hw, CLL ws (two of them) + corrections, GP test! OMG. ARGH.
8. I MISSED CENTERSTAGE WTH. I NEED TO SEE CLIPS OF IT DESPERATELY.
CONGRATS TO ALL WINNERS! (XINQIAN + XINGQI, BENSIM + AMY) ESPECIALLY LIYANG + YUJIE! LOVE YALL! KNEW YOU'D WIN :)
Okay gonna start work now, tata! Be back at end of Promos unless something crops up.
P.S. CLASS POTLUCK, STILL THINKING OF IT, HAHAHA. FUNNY PICS ON FB :)
Replies!
karmen: hellooooooooo! thank you for coming!
