to-mah-to, to-may-to. po-tay-to, po-tah-to. mourn-ing, moan-ing. what's the difference anyway?
so we went to my brother's university to help clear out his dorm yesterday. as my brother was parking the car, mom spotted this girl with a hamster and talked about how people brought stuffs to keep them company in the dorm.
and then this conversation began.
bro: once i even heard a girl moaning.
dad: huh? mourning?
bro: moaning.
dad: mourning? why? someone passed away?
bro: no, not mourning. moaning.
*pauses*
dad: oh.
*awkward silence in the car*
me: -bursts out laughing-
me: i gotta tell my friends about this!
mom shoots me an embarrased smile.
ah. the good ol' birds and the bees.

Fog you.
i'd like to sincerely thank the town council for sending people to do fogging at the rubbish chute areas around here because it really killed all the little cockroaches breeding at those areas. i walked in a land of dead cockroaches on my way to school a few weeks back. literally. everywhere around me laid big and baby cockroaches. most dead, some struggling to move.
in fact, i had to watch where i was stepping so that i wouldnt get cockroach juice on the soles of my shoes(ironically, i JUST(literally) received an email that has something to do with a cockroach just as i was typing. QUEER!). i was quite amused by the situation, really. i'm pretty sure hundreds of cockroach souls were flying around me.
so anyway, it's cool that their fogging. but the fogging's led to an overpower of MOSQUITOES! those damn 6-legged stingers have bitten me all over. UMPTEEN TIMES in 1 week.
i have a mission.
to kill those little buggers.

i want the strength!
on second thought, forget all of the above. just give me the brains.
and it's official. i'm pretty sure my teacher hates me. sorry, what? oh hate's too strong of a word? yeah, maybe you're right. well then, i'm pretty sure my teacher detests me.*jumps for joy* awwww.
it doesnt matter.
because i am a mutant.
and i have superpowers.

i feel the love.
politics. conspiracies. schemes. lies.
you would think that at their age these would all take too much effort. guess not. looks like there still is that little bit of strength there to create all of the above.
people, people, people.
tsk, tsk.
didnt mommy teach you to grow up and be good people?
you know you cant hide that tail of yours in your pants forever, now can you? oh wait now. i think mommy did.
you know, someone removed the target board. now your arrow's stuck on the tree trunk and you cant pull it out. i'm sorry but it's becoming to look like a joke. a real joke. and the joke's on you, my friend. i am only human to laugh. hahaha.
these would make good stand-up-comedy materials.

i am so happy i could eat a horse.
the program didnt work. it didnt display even though everything else seemed okay. 15%. 15 marks out of the final 100. gone down the amazon river. and i threw it down.
that's advanced mobcomp for me.
also, i realised today that a laptop is quite essential for me for my SIP and major project. that means extra expense of $1000++. that also means no driving lessons.
20 minutes ago, my mp3 died on me. completely died. no letter of warning, no last minute notice, no goodbye, nothing. not even a "hi, i'm about to die on you in 2 seconds." zilch. i couldnt even resuscitate it. you would think that looking for the warranty card and calling up the shop would be a good idea. got the warranty card alright. the shop? it's gone. it doesnt exist on the phase of this earth anymore.
that's my brandless mp3 for you.
i'm actually not flaring up right now. surprise. now usually, i would. but right now, i dont even feel the need to. only because,
honestly,
PEOPLE,
members of the public,
your majesty,
could the day get any worse?
i would be completely pissed off with myself. i could drink to get high but i dont drink. besides, i think i'll only wake up with a throbbing headache the next morning because i cant drink. i could yell at myself or walk away from myself. unfortunately, that would either classify me as mentally disturbed, or dead.
today is a great day. [insert profanity here]

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole.
I thank whatever gods may be,
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced or cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears,
Looms but the horror of the shade.
And yet the menace of the years,
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments is the scroll.
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
-William Ernest Henley

unstable grounds
reality. i am this afraid of it. and by this, i meant,
that much.
i dont live in a world with unexplainable fantasies, but i avoid reality just the same. maybe in a different way. i dont think about what's ahead of me, even though everyday that passes by means it's one step closer to what's about to happen.
i hate the thought of that. i hate it. if i keep thinking about what's ahead of me in my future, i'll be 80 in a few days time.
i was never always like that. i wasnt one to embrace and welcome my future with open arms but i sure wasnt one to escape from it. THEN. now? i try to run away from it like a chick from an eagle. scurrying, with my tiny two feet, trying my hardest to outrun the soaring eagle. the big eagle. with spreaded wings.
i know the problem. i see the problem. it's not teenage hormones. it's not the fear of heading out. it's just knowing that what lies ahead is the result of a choice that i made. one that wasnt so wise.
THAT's what i'm running from. that. i live everyday now with one concept. tomorrow's problems, shall be dealt with tomorrow. how unhealthy. how unsteady. but i cant deal with it. because my hair falls out everytime i start thinking about it at night. it's not an illness. i just yank my hair out, that's all.
i try to look ahead, for something bright, something happy, something to look forward to in the far future to keep me encouraged. c'mon. it's only months.
reality check.
to get there, i'll have to go through all those things that i'm trying to avoid now(or technically, wish i could magically skip). "live everyday like there's no tomorrow." wish i could. unfortunately, i think that only applies to someone who's 60 and retired.
which is why i shall erase my mind off sh*t right now by tuning in to Scrubs on tv. wow. how brave and appropriate.
yeah, run. run away when there're problems ahead of you. be a coward. that's what you parents taught you, isnt it? loser.
look no further.
the eagle haslanded caught it's chick.
thiiiiisss.

my new year
ok, i said i would do a meme but i'm kinda lazy right now. maybe later.
i just took down all my christmas decorations. i just took down all my christmas decorations. my room feels naked.
guess christmas really is over. shoot.
"gong xi, gong xi". the sound of chinese drums, trumpets, cymbals, with the combination of old chinese singers and a little remix touch makes the perfect dish called chinese new year songs that will soon be played incessantly, everywhere. everywhere.
now it's not that i hate them(well, most of them). but i mean, i guess this would've been much nicer tosing-a-longlisten to. (disclaimer: my neighbour's playing chinese new year songs RIGHT NOW and my dad just told me my mom was the one who asked them to play it.)
dont get me wrong. i'm a festive lover. i love christmas. i love chinese new year. i love the feeling when my family does spring cleaning. i love it when my dad starts putting up new year decos and engages my help for it (even though it's not so much of a christmas wreath or a mistletoe). and when it comes down to decorating the pussy willow, you've stopped at my territory. you see, i havent really gotten any chances with a christmas tree, so the pussy willow's kinda my thang. heh.
maybe i'm just not in the mood yet. maybe i will be in a few weeks.
or maybe knowing the fact that my end-of-year exams are just 2 days after the chinese new year is what's overshadowing my festive spirit.

happy 2007?
1st january, 2007. i sat on the bed. my friends played cards on the ground. the room was filled with laughter. people were running around outside, taking pictures, playing with fireworks. ships in the far distance sent flares up into the sky to welcome the new year.
the news spread across the tv screen.
"More bombings in thailand after midnight."
if that was the bombers' idea of welcoming 2007, i think they got it all wrong.
when was the last time people actually welcomed the new year without fearing that something might happen at the countdown party? no, strike that. when was the last time people actually celebrated anything without fearing that something might happen? i can hardly remember anymore.
how soon before i start having qualms about living in one of the safest countries in the world? how soon before global warming really gets to us? how soon before i dread going to school? anytime soon.
there is no doubt about it. i am not ready for school.
happy new year?
mama mia. I HOPE.
