this was my ARTOFLIFE

XD. Hunter, ilu. Really. His Q&A sessions are also ridiculous. Haha, slacking off when I should be doing the gp project thing.

Okay. Back to seeing how Coca Cola pwned the world since 1886. Which is a bloody long time! 0_0 (I totally knew that, actually.)

Anyway, have no clue why I'm doing this topic, since I usually avoid carbonated drinks. They make me burp. Like Sara.

In other news, Mandy couldn't meet up tomorrow. So that leaves the option of going home early to rot, study with Amirah at JE library or going to town to check out books. Really, I just can't see the more appealing choice.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Haha,  I seldom get the chance to use this because I'm rarely that angry. XD Usually the epic fail icon works well enough to convey my pissed-offness. Lol.

But yes, it's awesome! :DDDD

Okay. Random. I'm going back to watching Legend of the Condor Heroes and ogling Hu Ge! Haha.
(I still haven't finished my homework... stupid e-learning...)

... argh, got my hair cut on a whim, because it was getting too long and limp... overall very sad looking. But... instead the situation got worse. Gah. I sort of told the hairdresser that I wanted to lop off like 3 inches and trim my fringe, and yeah, I think he got too enthusiastic that he extended my 'slope' fringe to the typical cheena looking fringe that every other girl is currently spotting. =_= I should have stopped him, except that I was too busy drifting off thanks to the wonderful massage from when the woman washed my hair earlier... lol, it's really nice when people are blow drying your hair and combing it for you... that I almost dozed off in my seat. Which ultimately led to this epic failure of a hair. Oh well, my mother laughed at me, and I'm glad that my brothers aren't at home to see because they will laugh too, as I always laugh at their own haircuts. At least it's just hair... and given enough time, it'll grow back properly, I hope... the one good thing is that my hair sort of look straighter than before, since I chopped off the sad looking ends that were splitting or something.

[Error: unknown template qotd]ahaha, this is totally stupid. XD

'rxe' came from 'ravenxeve'. which was my username for almost everything; created back when I began my fascination for the occult, 'raven' being a messenger for death and 'eve' for life, which is also part of my name, and the 'x' is... just because it looks like it belongs, haha. I shortened 'ravenxeve' to 'rxe' after MYV removed all the vowels in his own name (which was Miyavi then), but I couldn't really do that without making it look weird, so yeah. and anyway, 'rxe' is most closely to be pronounced as 'rex' which also means 'king' and I would love to be a dictator of a country, lol.  The 'lyn' part came from my given name, 'evelyn'... 

so TADAH, rxe-lyn is created. I don't know why I put the hyphen, I find it quite irritating now... >.> but never mind, changing it would be so damn troublesome.

Going to sleep now so that I can meet Jia Li on time tomorrow at 10:30am. Yeah... probably need to wake at about 8am... gah.

Changed my layout finally, because Merlin has been over for ages and I can't freaking wait for the next season to see more Bradley James and the slashiness between Arthur and Merlin!! XD

Pictures involving skies and clouds always remind me of Joss Whedon's Firefly, thanks to the opening song. Haha.


Oh yeah, anyone have any idea how to change the tag list display to cloud? I've been surfing around for a while, but still no luck.

is today's title as in the time correct? XD I learned how to read in time in malay during mother tongue class today, ahaha. It's completely random because I just decided to join the class out of boredom and started paying attention because Hong Zhi said that I was very mean to the teacher with my very blunt words. D: Tsk, see lah, me trying to play nice again. Haha.

Anyway, it's quite pathetic that my basic knowledge of malay is from my math tutor who is from china. >.> Epic fail lah, seeing that half of my clique speaks malay as their mother tongue. -.-

I think there were more things that I wanted to post about... but... currently a little too distracted by Lee Jun Ki's face. XD Shallow, eh.

EDIT: Yes, I know... lol, got 'night' spelled wrongly. XD

Another one of those days where I find myself tossing and turning in bed and inevitably call it quits with trying to sleep.

Well, got back from caroling at Bugis earlier... or rather last night. Decent enough job, I guess. Came home to have dinner while watching Merlin, which is way historically inaccurate but the possiblilty of slash made me too interested to give it up. Haha. I sort of had my eye on it ever since someone on my flist introduced it but I was too lazy. And I finally started on Torchwood which was lying around for quite a while, damn and now I'm quite hooked. And if I have a spare hour or two, I might just start on Let the Right One In, since I think about 3-4 people have rated it pretty well, and if I'm going to watch anything dealing with vampires, I rather it not be Twatlight.

Read a bit of Murakami's Wind Up Bird Chronicle, trying to lull myself into sleep only to go on reading a few hundred pages, not really understanding the deeper meaning behind those words, other than the surface values and as awake as before. Lol, my mother sort of yelled at me from her room, seeing my light still on, but I think she went right back to sleep immediately since no one came in to badger me. Not that I'd be able to drift off, though. Was it because I slept quite a fair bit earlier and hence messed up my internal clock?

I don't think I like The Wind Up Bird Chronicle too much, it's really too quirky, though there's a sort of charm to it... I mean, I just couldn't really bring myself to put the book down even though it's quite late already. But the characters in it sort of rub me the wrong way, I mean, I can accept Toru and Kumiko, but the rest of the people sort of make it hard for them to grow on me.

I don't know if this is random, but I always feel that Murakami's works should be read with Plastic Tree playing in the background, even though Murakami seems to be greatly influenced by jazz and Plastic Tree isn't really jazz, they're like... fluid. But yeah, Ryuutarou's ethereal and light voice would somehow be quite fitting for the passive protangonists I see in Murakami's novels. And there's usually this dreamy quality that's sort of unreal, in a sense.

My room's currently darkened, only the laptop screen is lit, I believe that the lights outside are also off, but I can't really be bothered to check, due to the curtains that is blocking out any light from outside. It seems that there is a solitary world that's standing between me and the outside? Everything is so quiet that I can hear myself think, almost. Not that I don't usually, since I'm usually narrating within my own head.

It may seem like I'm jumping from topic to topic, but somehow to one own self, there seems to be a tangible link that probably seems like nonsense to someone else. Is this the idea of perception? Like no matter what, I am myself and am not someone else? I always wonder how it feels to be someone else, like what would some other random stranger that I probably wouldn't bother looking twice think when he/she sees me? Is it the same way as I would view them? Or do they have the same view of myself that I hold?

Time seems to pass really slowly, I wonder if I'll see a sunrise today? Probably not, unless I leave my house, since tall buildings have completely destroyed any hopes of a good view of the sky. I've been living in this apartment block since I was... about 5, 6... so it's been about 10 years or so? Yeah, I've seen the number of buildings increase since I moved in. From the new condos to the new shopping mall that's still under construction... things change, but have I changed? It's something that I read from the book, sort of a relevation that Toru had, thanks to May. Or was it one of the Kano sisters? I can't really remember even though I most likely just read it an hour or so ago.

I would like to conclude that this entire post had no real value and I'm sorry if you wasted... 5 minutes of your life, straining your eyes to read the thoughts of an insommanic. If it does bother you, have a free virtual cookie and feel free to criticize constructively. Lol.

Eh, I guess I met quite a lot of new people this year... and I bet the impression that most people get from me is... fierce? Like, anti-social and all that? Cos I don't really remember people's names and stuff like that?

Main point to note, I most likely do remember you, just not your name. Cos I don't really think of people with their names... especially if I just know you or something. I usually assign colors to people through the impression that they give me and I remember them like that.

And I don't exactly talk much because I prefer to listen and I'm not too sure how far/much I can go without offending, which happens way too often, so I'm trying to erase that horrible habit. It's not that I'm shy, cause I'm not... I think? Lol.

Eh. Anything more?
