this was my ARTOFLIFE

Behaved like a total bimbo just now. 3: Over a lizard! Gah.

I was cleaning out my cupboard when I spotted this lizard and out of reflex, I screamed. And the bloody thing just paused in its tracks and seemed to be staring at me, as if waiting for my next move. Hello, lizard, I screamed, so it's your move now. You either get the fuck away from my cupboard or you drop dead.

Which annoyed my brother so much that he came to the rescue with a whatever-it-is-called-that-is-used-to-smack-pests. Ah, my regular knight in armor.... NOT. Because after killing the damn thing by smacking it to death, leaving a squashed and deformed corpse of a lizard, he just LEFT it there and told me to do the clean up myself! D: It was so... deformed! All flattened and in the depths of my blackened heart, I felt... pity for the poor creature who was in the wrong place, aka my room. And it would be really damn gross to touch the corpse because... squashed and dead lizard... urgh, not my idea of a pretty kitten.

So I whined and whined and made my mother come in and peer at the lizard and laugh at my predicament because she hates lizards more than I do. (I'm alright with them as long as they don't invade my territory.) Until my poor brother got fed up with my whining that he came to help again. I was sort of 'hysterical' in the sense that I was half whining about the grossness and half laughing at my own incompetence. So... I probably sounded crazy to him, ahaha.

Upon hearing his chair pull back, and him grabbing the tissue paper box from his room, I pretended to be actually trying to do something productive by picking up a hanger that was lying around and pushing the waste bin nearing to the corpse. Lol, I'm such a faker lah, giving the pretense of trying to clear it up when I had no idea what I was doing. Haha.

Anyway, just realized that next time, whoever who lives with me, be it my boyfriend or roommates or drunken one-night-stands, whatever, they had got to be damn good at killing pests AND clearing of their remains. Or... be mindful of karma by not killing them and merely throwing them out of the window. (they may die from the height, but then again, they might not. It's all 50-50. So... the deaths aren't our problem.)

eh... ignoring all forms of homework today like the good irresponsible kid that I am. *smiles angelically.*

been in a bad mood all day, didn't get enough sleep because I was writhing in agony over the monthly female troubles. (what I would give to be male, I tell you, when it comes to such times.)

waking up knowing that you have school while your mother and brother have leave is really annoying. I mean, they get to laze the day away... at least I know my brother will be gaming away from 9 onwards.

reading Murakami's Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman isn't all that condusive to my emoness either as the stories are either just plain strange or really lonely. Damn, I need to buy this book too, so much that I still don't understand. The cranky mood didn't fade even when I got home, and I stupidly forgot the titles of my relatives who had come over in my daze. ... Well, Gackt-sama melted my brain into a puddle of goo. But, knowing that Leverage episode 9 is out and reading good fanfiction managed to cheer me up. But I'm still not going to touch homework. Because firstly Min Jie stole my literature paper and econs is a really sucky subject sometimes.

note to self: Buy the fucking WA books already! And word to ya, local manga company (aka chuangyi), you suck because even TokyoPop is faster than you!

Argh, it's much too warm today to do anything productive. I hate this frigging weather. D: Oh the things I would do for a thunderstorm...

Would so love to turn on the AC, except that the mother would most likely nag about rising electricity prices, etc. It's supposedly the Winter Solstice, isn't it? Shouldn't it like... rain or at least act more like winter?? Stupid climate.

Actually wanted to go shopping before today's caroling session, but looking at this terribly terribly scorching weather... I lost my mood. Ah~ don't even feel like going caroling at Bugis Junction... probably gonna be herded around like a pack of extremely dumb sheep.

Tried to do my literature essays, but gave up after writing my name. Haha, blame the weather? Besides, I don't really make much from the poems... am I not cut out for literature after all?

[Error: unknown template qotd]what thrifty measures??! I'm in fact spending even more, now that it's the holiday season etc and there's so many friends to catch up with! Add to the rising cost of everything, I'm pretty much dead broke, considering the fact that I'm a student and my basic salary is a measly amount. With little fringe benefits.

... The power adapter came earlier than I thought. But luckily, I reached home just in time to intercept the courier service. The parts came in a neatly wrapped package, but... as soon as I plugged it into the laptop, it still didn't work! The light just flickered and died. AGAIN.

And my brother's not coming home tonight to help me; camping over at the girlfriend's house. So. Now I got to wait for him to re-diagnose the problem before calling tech support again. I'm gonna be labelled as a troublesome idiot by the tech people this time. They'll like think in their heads, see, this kid trying to show off her technical prowess but is actually a complete noob wasting our time and resources. Gah.

And I found out yesterday that the AFI cd that I bought at HMV for 28.50 could be found at Sembawang for 19.90. I was totally crushed. Like, HMV cheated my feelings D: And it's not like the HMV's version is in very high quality because I could identify a few typo errors in the cd booklets. (like some cheap ripoff production.)

Also, the Era cd from That CD Shop is problematic, it loops after each song. Which is goddamn annoying. Grr.

What is with me and luck these few days? Gosh.

I AM FOREVER DEVASTATED!!!!

TT___________TT

To think that I have been KEPT IN THE DARK FOR SOOOOOOO LONG!!
She. She. MURDERED ALL MY STUFFED ANIMALS! Animal cruelty! DDDDDDDDDD:

ahem. The context is so:

When I was a kid, I had enough stuffed toys to fill up 2 suitcases. Which was a lot. And my mother was sort of annoyed with having them strewn around my bed. So. Once, when I was in school, she packed ALL of them and put them away. When I questioned her about their locations, she said that they went on HOLIDAY.

And sadly, it is only now that I understood her euphemism of holiday! SHE THREW THEM AWAY!!!! AHHH. MURDERER!! TT_TT

this has taught me NEVER TO TRUST THE WORDS OF ADULTS! They're all LIARS! DDDDDDD:

... Was torn between going out and staying at home today. I wanted to go to Starbucks and sit there while planning out my Nanowrimo story. But in the end I voted not to go due to a lack of money. And regretted it. Nearly went out of my fucking mind hanging around at home. I was out the entire day on Friday and Saturday. Went over to Bing Xue's house at around 8 and hang out with him until like 11 plus when my mother finally decided that it was late enough to go home. And thanks to him, I want to learn the guitar now. Although I suck at it D: Even he without any music background is better than me!

Then Saturday, met up with Kim where we had lunch at MOS burger, iced milk tea! Then took 171 to City Hall area and looked at stationery shops and had coffee at Spinelli. :D Hope your chinese homework went well, lol. Silly plot from Nodame. XD Then at around 3 plus went over to Raffles Hotel's Jubilee Hall for the performance. Reached home pretty late too, about 10 plus.

So... after two consecutive days of going out, I wanted to go on today too! But Aishah and Ami bailed on me. Okay, not really, I could have gone out on my own too.

Anyway, watched two episodes of True Blood which sucked. I seriously hated the way Sookie Stackhouse was portrayed and I don't know whether she was as annoying as that in the books. And it was totally not scary. With an over emphasis on sex. >.> Give me Dexter anyday over that sort of crap. Oh wait, I rather wait The Lair since at least I can ridicule it.

Played the piano for a random bit. And felt my headache. Slept for like a few hours to note my mother returning home. Who began to nag my ear off, contributing the onslaughter of the fucking headache.

Not a happy day today, damnit, I should have left this fucking place.

TOKIO HOTEL is apparently now on 98.7 FM, on their segment called New This Week. And they're airing Monsoon.
OH THE IRONY!

But seriously, just as TH breaks into the American market... seems like we follow the American scene too much.
On the flip side, the only good thing may be that it will be easier to get their merchandise and maybe they'll even deem it possible to arrange a concert here.
BUT on  the other side, we'll be seeing an influx of bimbotic fans who don't understand them actually. And bigoted people who will only look at their physical appearance and diss them.

Gah. Wait till JROCK hits our mainstream shore.

Just came back from school after a bout of pretending to study.

Had a consultation session with Ms Lim. But I don't remember half the things that she went through already. Gah.

And I forgot to ask the others some stuff about econs. x.x

Yeah, pretending to be mugging Othello when I'm surfing through visual_fucks to entertain myself. To steal a line from the guys of 38, 'GG' indeed.

And I didn't even study much last night... came back and watched Pride and Prejudice while pretending to mug econs. Guess I can watch Running with Scissors tonight then. XD

Had lunch at Pizza Hut with Jia Li, Hong Zhi and Jonathon. Finally, after all the debate with Jonathon whether to eat or not. Seriously, rich kids like him... ought to be punched. And now after that lunch with them, I am officially broke now. >.>

Mugging with the JC half of the clique tomorrow... probably not going to have lunch since Ami is fasting... at least that's a good thing.

Can't wait for the promos to end so that I can go play.

WORK LIST TODAY:
PI!! (really really must do)
Literature (paper 1 questions)
GP blog, 'Is the Earth suffering?'
Math Tutorial 1 (should be handed in already... >.>)
History Tutorial Q4 (which I really should be doing now...)

It was sort of an anti climax during the math test. I mean, I was worrying about it like the entire day and it turned out that there were only 2 questions and there wasn't much of anything to be worried about. Blah. Wasted my time and feelings.

GP was sort of fun; Min Jie was still obsessed over a certain person even though he wasn't exactly hot... or even cute. Yeah, we were like teasing her to not hand in her homework so she can spend her Friday night making up for it. I sworn she turned red from embarrassment. Ah, young puppy love, haha. Not that I ever felt it exactly...

It's really ironic that whenever I try and start to do work, msn conversations start to pop up, distracting me as people ask me questions, chat about random things, etc. And I end up answering them and see time fly by, wasted. Yet when I'm not doing anything productive, no one bothers me. This is so bloody ironic, and really typical of how the universe works.

Yes, I'm not doing any homework now, that's why I'm actually typing this in peace. >.> And no, I have not even completed anything. Gods, I'm such a failure. Not that it's anything unusual.

Just downloaded a whole new bunch of stuff because my old music collection that spans over 6000 plus worth of songs are now largely inaccessible. It's possible but damn troublesome and I'm lazier than lazy. And I supposed I do have more things to type but I'm too lazy to do so now because I'm supposed to be doing at least some work.
