Now, it only figures...
how long it would've took me
to come up with such a post.

(a post ~~professing my love~~ to clue in
every other confused LJ & the occasional
old friend/passer-by on my recent 'life's high')

No, really.
To clear the air,
I'm going to do a self-justifying post
just for the sake of it.

And for those who get where i'm coming from
and need no

KPop culture, how do i love thee?
Let me count thy ways...

1. The Korean language
makes for beautiful; almost seamless, melodies.
Be it in raps (e.g. Big Bang <333), ballads (e.g. Gummy)
or just mainstream pop songs (e.g. SS501).

2. The Artistes are role-model worthy.
Their never-say-die work ethic and
ingrained society traditions (e.g. respect for others)
are applicable to anyone else's life.

3. There is substance behind all that style:
Aside from the fact that the artistes realize how
youth-obsessed, photo shop/primped & appearance-mattering showbiz IS,
these artistes CAN actually SING & DANCE
- to a credible calibre, i might add.

i send you all my love for accepting
and not judging otherwise :)

It hurts just to wake up,
whenever you're wearing thin

Alone on the outside,
So tired of looking in

The end is uncertain...
And I've never been so afraid

But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave

I still need to trawl & traipse:
'Prints', 'Art Friend' and
what other one-stop-DIY/arts-and-craft-stores
for my Christmas card necessities
(which, courtesy of my latest bout of inspiration,
i've begun to feel quite enthusiastic about).

Yes my friends, this year
(the aesthetically challenged) I,
will be delivering hand-made lovelies
instead of my usual M&S store-bought (and spilt) ones.

Ah the time one has,
to pursue such pretty things
when'st at a academic standstill.

All these days I feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me outta here

I could stand by the side,
And watch this life pass me by.
So unhappy...But safe as could be.

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?

My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause I'm just trying to be happy, yeah

I can't stand by your side, ohh no
Watch this life pass me by, pass me by

Pardon moi,
i was having a bad day
and this helped.

(i just took this, just because...)

- Untidy closet
(to the extent where it should not see the light of day)
CHECK! Similar

- Reads lots of books
CHECK! Similar

INFINITE CHECKS!
*__* Possibilities, possibilities...

And i present to you,
Le Grande Finale:

Pwahaha!

On a side note,

this is for PJ (it's T.O.P's)
- should get one for her, haha!

I've been known to
not fit perfectly into categories or squares.

People hardly know what to get me,
when an occasion calls for a present.

Pinning down my likes & dislikes
for aspects in my life prolly calls for
more than just a few seconds of pause.
(take my Music taste for e.g.)

However,
(others & myself included) are certain of
this one thing.

When i like something,
i really do LIKE it.
[Read: possessed by absolute-single-minded-unwavering-determination
and adrenaline-charged-sustained-stamina for devotion]

I'm not the type to actively seek out
everything and anything related to my interest...
but my commitment to appreciation,
is as binding a blood oath.

I might not have everlasting episodes of wanderlust
nor do i have a cumulation of idols revelries
but i do have these moments,

These moments where
i could be the biggest fangirl and
i could stay up for hours, just because.

I might not be cheering for the same things,
a few months down the road;
or parade the same picture everywhere,
but i'd be willing to bet:

I had the best time of my life then and there.

let the right one in

I've been enjoying myself too much.

Wiling my time away in TEP
would have been much more of a drag
if it weren't for them:

My very special ah nias.

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:13:28 GMT

Yes I've got my laptop functioning
and I recovered some pretty pictures and icons for my LJ perusal
only to find..
LJ changed the Userpic uploading functions.

Now, everything is more inconvenient than ever.

I was in such a wonderful mood to post
and this just had to come up.

What a way to rain on my parade.

[Edit]
Eureka! I wormed my way around the system and found another way around putting up my userpics. YES.
Now...just MAYBE, I'll feel like posting properly the next time round.

I know this will be a real damper of an update, but,

I'm in no mood to do up a pretty post
- without my laptop.

It crashed (for the 4th time) AND

i got the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH too.

I WOULD have posted:

Big Bang pictures to show my growing adoration for them.
G-Dragon's 'Heartbreaker' lyrics, because it's totally grown and taken me over.
A poem or two, composed courtesy of morning MRT inspirations and sightings.

But,
i guess not.

Another time.

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Ohhhh

Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Ohhhh

No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love

Straight through my heart

Plato's words

Maybe we're of old,
reciting these quotes so often told.

Borne from an encounter,
it must have enraptured his soul:
Smitten (and rightfully so).

Forming words for containment:
A honeysuckle's potency...
A bristling thrush?

The man gives up.

Like a storm,
unable to quench a desert's thirst,
he only wisens up.

"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet."
- Plato

Oft,
with the accumulation of too many past events to recount;
(some significant, some not)
i leave another picture in good stead - presenting...

my new story pursuit

For those of you who know what anime this is,
I KNOW it's an age old one (& on hiatus).

But since i have nothing against unearthing
old/unpopular/discontinued stories,
i'll take my time (& hope the author continues with it by the time i catch up).

What i didn't bargain for was how very depressing (in a good-plot-way)
the whole storyline is.

It reminded me of Chrono's Crusade
(although i'm too lazy to find out which anime came first)
with the 'Church' references, VERY brief moments (if at all) of happiness
and worst of all...

MAJOR sadness/struggles (everywhere) *cue bawling*.
Like, it's one 'shit-crap' (to quote michelle) after another.

But i'm no fan of happy-go-lucky stories either
so i take everything as it comes.

And as we speak,
i'm liking KPop too.

This is a pretty late update (for me) isn't it?
Judging by the time. haha

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:11:05 GMT

I have the LJ-posting bug but not enough discipline (or resolve, actually) to formulate a coherent post.

In a nutshell:

I'm feeling a bit more than just trepidation on returning to school - after what it seems like eternity (six months)
I have a nagging feeling i'm ODing (over dosing) on Green Tea
They don't call the Samsung N310 a 'netbook' for nothing - at 10 inches, i'll need to get used to it when i get it later on
Oh, what the hell. I'm tired of waiting for the Nokia E72. I'm even on the edge of settling for less - Samsung Omnia Pro B370
Today was a FAT day, 'nuff said.
I want to get up to speed on my 6227+ RSS feeds, Fashion news and runway collections...should be in a better mood to do so later on...

Restless. Fat. Full. Tired. Blargh. Pointless.

Still feeling like i've boarded the Nippon Express train,
you know, the works:
Green tea from Japan, Jap alt/rock bands, green tea sponge cakes...

I'm enjoying the ride.

Another short wishlist for the road:

Victor/Victoria

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 01:55:54 GMT

Armed with little more than fiery determination and a passion for singing, Victoria Grant arrives in Paris to fulfil her dreams.

A chance encounter with has-been actor Carroll Todd convinces her to pretend to be a female impersonator in order to get noticed. She becomes Count Victor Grazinski at a swanky Paris Nightclub and becomes the toast of the town.

Things get complicated when a gangster from Chicago, King Marchan falls in love with “her”.

Victoria has to make the ultimate sacrifice - will she be true to her love and give up her passion or
will she pursue her passion and surrender true love?

On Sistic

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:51:23 GMT

my head is spinning round...

3 days - i've been sick
3 days - i've had fever
3 days - i've eaten nothing but white foods. steamed foods. soupy food.

and then the doctor tells me it's low risk H1N1, gives me the option to take tamiflu and that i could develop pneumonia.

being sick is such hell. being constantly sick is torture - just kill me.

health is wealth.

i'm dyinggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

Mr Lee's remarks that "if you leave the Garden of Eden, you cannot get back in again" could be aimed at reminding this group what they stand to lose if they decide to leave Singapore for good.

If one considers recent developments in Europe, Mr Lee's statement could not have come at a more appropriate time.

The European Union parliamentary elections in June suggested a shift towards the rhetoric of far-right politics as voters elected a slew of politicians from anti-immigration parties in the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Slovakia and Hungary. In the United Kingdom, the highly conservative British National Party, which opposes mass immigration, even clinched two seats for the first time.

And with European economies unlikely to experience boom time anytime soon, anti-immigration sentiments could be expected to rise and rise. If this comes to pass, then those Singaporeans who have left may decide that the grass is actually greener in this "Garden of Eden state".

Say hello to goodbye

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:59:42 GMT

It's going to be my 'Swan song' soon.
Though I'm not particularly looking forward
to being 'jailed' up in an editing room - with cameras and lecturers,
at least i'd have more laughs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you oh so bad it hurt
But ~~girl~~ boy, in case you haven’t heard

I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover
~~I’ll love you forever~~
Forever is over
~~We used to kiss all night~~
Now it’s just a bar fight
So don’t call me crying
Say hello to goodbye

some fine champagne, while my girls toast (oh yeah)

Thank you NMP Mr Viswaroopan s/o Sadasivan (CEO, Strategic Moves) for being forthright in your parliament speech:

..."align our current policies and rules with conventional principles of democracy". One way, he said, was to pro-actively "start the process of re-politicisation" by encouraging political associations and allowing campus rallies...

We reconcile ourselves with certain things as we grow older.
Remember when you were (let's say) thirteen, and there was nothing to figure out?
Or when you watched the twenties and went - i'll be successful someday.

This isn't like a biological race. Although granted, your body starts declining from age 27 (your brain stops 'growing') and by 30 you're losing calcium (like a steathily dripping tap that can't be turned off) and let's not even talk about the curious-case-of-metabolism.

This is the race of life. In a city-country where everything (preferably) is clocked in the fastest time possible.
I could wax lyrical about the paper chase (been there, read that, still-going-through it) or how our 'Dreams' are not 'coming true' but honestly, what good will that do me/you?

Perhaps we sound idealistic, going against the grain of the very principles and system we grew up/are still in. But griping on and on only has effect on oneself and others when thrust into action gear. Thus the old adage, walk the talk.

I'm waxing lyrically anyways, aren't i?
Seriously, University life changes people. More so than going through any standard school-leaving examinations set by the MOE.

A while back, i used to think i'd feel left behind, finishing up my final year in Poly whilst my Fresh-out-of-Junior-College compatriots advance to what is often seen as the pinnacle of one's Education - University.

Now, i'm willing to brake or skidd to a halt just so i can look before i take a tumble down an odd hole (like Alice in Wonderland).
Side note: Thank you Uni friends, for taking the plunge first (not intentionally making it sound depth-defying).

I've found that living with my feet standing still in one place isn't going to suit me for now. That's a gem from Youth.

Like travelling to a new country with no expectations nor reservations, i am able to be constantly wow-ed and appreciative of the big AND little things. Ergo, the same theory applies to life, uni, the big f-u-t-u-r-e.

Some constants include doing my best at any given moment and time, being the best person i can be to others around me, not compromising my religion and ethics/moral values. After all, having no expectations doesn't translate to = slumming it in life.

Rather, i choose not to think along the lines of - oh, i'll want to earn enough thousands to afford me this by then OR i want to be married before 40 etc. *Not that there's anything wrong with expectations, just materialistic and unrealistic ones*

You'll be surprised how much happier your soul (and ultimately, your life) will be, just letting all the attempts of meeting that imaginary bar go.
