Due to much vapidity, lack of whinging and subsequent brain malfunctioning, this blogger is taking a holiday from her blog. She feels much inclined to perceive herself as a woman with hardly any strong views about the eco system and moral decisions. In other words blonde. Her previous moral convictions seem to exert themselves unaggressively now.

You are much welcome to spam or piss on it really.

WHERE IS MY PHONE??????

I can't bloody well find it, I've tried calling it and I'm pretty sure its not on the soundless profile but psychobabble and thus would play Maddening Shroud by Frou Frou if it rings.

Excuse me while I devote the rest of this post to letting off steam.

Zar I know how you feel about displacement when you misplace things because I feel so bloody displaced it feels like I'm on another continent or planet or solar system and Iwanttobreakoutinachildishwhineofwhereismyphoneandprancearoundthehouse with much immaturity yelling fuck you you stupid displacing whatsits of entropy give me back my phone. I mean isn't it enough you guys have like important stuff like dustballs and possibly Atlantis. Anyway my phone doesn't cost money but I want it back because it has sentimental value and also because I want to locate my fellow spca person at the tea party tomorrow at the swisshotel and I'll be damned if I lose my text messages again. Buggerbuggerbuggerbuggerbuggerbugger all this for a larkee. I want to squishpop non living things and throw them out a window. And I'm sure it has to be somewhere so TURN UP ALREADY. You are a means of communication and not a playpal in hide and go seek. I need more swear words. Stupid fucking lost thingys. Why do you have to get lost and can I actually attach a GPS system to all my items so I don't routinely feel murderous. Fuckitbuggerwhatsits.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Le Creepy Git

2007-04-11T11:36:00.000-07:00

Today I had the misfortune of meeting le creepy git and the chance to practice my snooty voice.

Le Creepy Git (LCG): Hello
Me: Hello, do I know you, you look familiar
LCG: No I don't think so
Me: Okay, so what spurred this *gestures wildly* conversation
LCG: You looked interesting.
Me: Ah *goes back to reading*
LCG: Maybe I was a previous colleague
(go away and let me read)
Me: No I doubt it, I'm still in school
(oh great library stalker scenario again)
LCG: Really, you look older.
(Oh gee, are you trying to establish consensual age you perv)
Me: I'm waiting for uni to start actually. *goes back to reading again*
LCG: Oh what Junior College were you from?
Me: Catholic Junior College
LCG: Oh that school is known for one thing-
Me: Complete rubbish
LCG *leers*: Maybe
(Oh piss off and die already, I went to the bloody school)
*goes back to reading AGAIN*
LCG: I actually thought you were from China
(Oh right, like a tourist from China would spend their holiday sitting in a bookstore read...okay I did that when I went to China)
Me: No.
LCG: So you really like Terry Pratchett huh.
Me: Very much so.
(So let me read already dumbass)
LCG: So uh, I have to go off now bye.

Watching him fidget did give me minor satisfaction I must say. Snooty voice really does wonders.

Anyway, for everyone else, if you see a tall dark guy with a goatee and a pull over hat at kino, he should be avoided at ALL cost.

Cheryl, I like your dogs a lot even if they ate a bird.

I went to the doctor today and found him limping around. "You need coffee," I say recognising the all-too familiar foot-dragging slouch of not long ago. "Argh no, I just had my root canal done." I wonder what doctors say to fellow doctors when they go for various treatments. I was about to ask him about the Lactobacillius brochure and yogurt if he wasn't so gloomed, instead he asked about the A levels and university-"Well hopefully, I think...I dunno".

Steffi Loe. Decision making extraordinaire. She flies in the cloud of dunno.

Conversations with my cousins in our gambling den

Elaina: If you were stranded on a deserted island which sibling would you pick?
Catherine: Celestine
Elaina: Why? Because you'll have more to eat when you decide to kill her?

How one should play twister

1) Do not drink Caramel Baileys before hand.

2) Flexibility is really an advantage, do not attempt unless you possess this.

3) Playing it with people who see innuendos in everything is also not a good idea, especially if you are prone to laughing fits.

4) Try not to fall over.

5) Make sure to blame the host for the lack of other board games.

6) Do not get covered with the twister mat in the end. Its been on the floor. Its been below people's feet. Spittle has dropped on it. So have unidentified dust/hair.

Its gross.

Reading Good Omens is definitely the highlight of the day. The moolah of red packets can wait.

It had been the first of their three great publishing disasters.

The book was commonly known as the Buggre Alle This Bible. The lengthy compositor's error, if such it may be called, occurs in the book of Ezekiel, chapter 48, verse five.

2. And bye the border of Dan, from rne the east side to the west side, a portion for Afher.

3. And bye the border of Afher, fromme the east side even untoe the west side, a portion for
Naphtali.

4. And bye the border of Naphtali from the east side untoe the west side, a portion for Manaff 'eh.

5. Buggre Alle this for a Larke 1 amme sick to mye Hart of typefettinge. Master Biltonn if no Gentelmann, and Master Scagges noe more than a tighte fisted Southwarke Knobbefticke. I telle you, onne a daye laike thif Ennywone withe half an oz of Sense shoulde bee oute in the Sunneshain, ane nott Stucke here alle the liuelong dale inn thif mowldey olde By-Our-Lady Workefhoppe

*"AE@;I*

6 And bye the border of Ephraim, from the east fide even untoe the west fide, a portion for Reuben.

[The Buggre Alle This Bible was also noteworthy for having twenty-seven verses in the third chapter of Genesis, instead of the more usual twenty-four.

They followed verse 24, which in the King James version reads:

"So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life," and read:

25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee?

26 And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.

27 And the Lord did not ask him again.

"I know! Its one of those blue-eyed guys with loads of teeth and hair and skin, and all that modern shit. And he always looked like he was on a boat and gave up his job in cybergenics to go and plant trees in some fucking place.

And he had long lashes and he could quote huge chunks of Baudelaire as he stirred his cafe latte, and he wrote a whole load of books and never told you and you were doubly impressed because one day you found them in an airport.

And, and, he played lead cello in the bulgarian orchestra and didn't tell you until you spent an hour twanging around on your ratty fucking guitar looking for the first two chords of do doo ron ron and he was mysterious and everything and couldn't call because he was smuggling crobian children across the border to safety using his fucking knowledge of missile tactics and his inheritance and everything. And then he got involved in some underground documentary film group and was killed in a really tragic edition...

ONE OF THOSE GUYS HAH!"

Of bus rides and general boingyness

2007-01-25T06:14:00.000-08:00

Do you know what happens when you go off caffiene for a month and then drink a mocha frappe?

I have so much pent up energy now I am slightly unhinged. I did a little dance around the house swishing my skirts just now. I'm like boingboingboingboing now. Also my typing has gotten insanely faster and the keyboard is like suffering under my fingerpads.

Clickety clack, three men and a mat.

Like I said. Unhinged.

On the bus back from work, it suddenly stopped and the people standing (including myself) were flung around and desperately grabbing stuff and the bus driver yells "Hold on tight! The accelerator can't go up!" After a few seconds he radios his buddy and says casually, "Yeah, its the third time with the accelerator...cannot, of course I have to stop"

Then proceeds to zoom past a red light. Was by then grinning like a loon by the sheer insanity of it all.

And also caffiene.

That's not all. At every bus stop, he informs the people trying to board, "get on the bus behind for your own safety"

Priceless that.

Paperwork is pointless.

There are 20 pages worth of correspondance about a pair of pants. After reading the stuff I was filing about button defects and how the stitching of a back pocket is too far left, I have concluded that anyone who can get worked up about buttons is tres sad.

Also, no one should pay 60 US dollars for a pair of pants. I have discovered that it is possible for my brain to shut down for 8 hours.

The people are really nice though and there's free milo and tea and stuff. YAY. Think of le cash flow=road trip+plane ticket.

"Hi you've reached Steffi's phone, she's currently off her dried frog pills at the moment and possibly bothering an orang utan. If this is a prank call, please do the human gene pool a favour and throw yourself off a cliff. If not, leave a message after the beep."

All I Want For Christmas Is The Hogfather DVD (a plane ticket is good too)

2006-12-23T19:15:00.000-08:00

*dies of happiness*

The fate of this magical time rests in the hands of a very motley group: A band of wizards headed up by a mystical university president named Mustrum Ridcully; a loyal manservant who goes by the of Albert; a level headed governess called Susan Sto Helit; and her grandfather, who happens to be..well.Death.

It will take some very extreme measures: Plans must be made, trolls must be fought, fairies must be rescued, and DEATH must take up the reins at the helm of the Hogfather's abandoned sleigh, if the Hogfather, and possibly more importantly, the holiday, is to be saved.

HO HO HO

Al Gore Rocks My Socks (muchly)

2006-12-11T05:56:00.000-08:00

Oh I so want The Inconvenient Truth dvd now.

I finally got around to watching it today because Shila organised a private screening of it at Plaza Singapura for all the volunteers of Sungei Buloh. I think Al Gore is a genius for putting this in film because after watching it I feel like I want to do something! Make a difference! If not for myself than my kids. And at the credits I was smiling to myself because I noticed that the theatre was full and there were parents who brought their kids along. So if you do the math, about a hundred people out of the four million people in Singapore to persuade the rest. If it works like a friendster/chain reaction, we're pretty much set.

Listen to the Melissa Etheridge theme song (I Need To Wake Up) here.

On the bus back, I gave up my seat to this middle aged lady and soon the woman behind me followed suit by giving up her seat to an old man and the woman in front of me stood up from her seat too. And even the old man yelled to his wife in front to see if she wanted to sit down. It was the awesomest chain reaction. So if Al Gore believes that one person can make a difference, why don't you too.

Here are a few small changes you can make to stop global warming.

2) The shower cubicles can fit 10 people in one
3) The shower heads are as big as plates
4) There is free soap in the showers
5) There's friggin hot water
6) There are huge sinks and hairdryers
7) They play cool music like the scissor sisters
8) Water dispensers!

Call me ~~slow~~ but I've just discovered this awesome, awesome and brilliant band called Frou Frou which as I understand formed in 1999 and have already broke up.

Breathe In - Frou Frou

I - read you - and god I'm good at it - I'm so spot on
Chord - shapes in air - go press that dissonance - if you dare
And you - breathing in - finesse an innocent
From her partying

And I'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
And I'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
Cause I love you no?
Can't help but love, you know...

What - part of no - don't you understand - I've told you before
To just get - off my case - this isn't happening - stop this now
And I - where was I? - I have to be somewhere
Now where did I put it?

And I’m high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
And I’m high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
Cause I love you no?
Can't help but love you, no...

Is this it - is this it - is this it?

Yes - hello we're back - and we're taking calls
Now what was the question?

And I’m high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

And I’m high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

Cause I love you no?

Can't help but love you, no...

Bridget! Send me the birthday pictures! I think this is the first time I wore a dress shorter than yours. And thank you for the beer story, that will keep me laughing for weeks. And also remind me not to get drunk during prom night.

Quote of the day

'Our experiments in using lightning essence to simulate the animation of living matter have reached a conclusion, and not, I fear, a happy one. The last few days all our efforts have been spent in collecting and storing sufficent lightning for our last and greatest experiment. This we achieved by means of many alchemical storage jars, a considerable length of copper wire, and Mr. Dawkins the Rubber Booted Atheist of Sto Lat, who stood on the roof and shouted atheistical abuse in the direction of Cori Celesti. A pleasant enough fellow, but not bright.'

As Spongebob would say, Bhahahahahaha. Do the test here and tell me what you got on my tagboard. I'm ever so curious.

The Priss

Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer

(DBLDf)

Mature. Responsible. Aristocratic. Excuse me. The Priss.

Prisses are the smartest of all female types. You're highly perceptive, and confident in your judgements. You'd take brutal honesty over superficiality any time--your friends always know where they stand with you. You're completely unfake. Don't tell me that's not a word. You're also excellent at redirecting internal negative energy.

These facts indicate people are often intimidated by you. They also fall for you, hard. You have a distant, composed allure that many find irresistible. If only more of them lived up to your standards (ahahahahhaaha).

You were probably the last among your friends to have sex (gee thanks). And the first to pretend that you're pregnant. LOL. Though you're inclined to use sex as weapon, at least it's not as one of mass destruction. You're choosier than most about your partners. A supportive relationship is what you're really after. Whether you know it or not, you need something steady & long-term. And soothing (I know).

2006-11-06T04:52:00.000-08:00

Found my journal of my trip to China last year while searching for econs notes and spent a good 15 mins laughing to myself. There is nothing like being in the land of gibber to concentrate your mind on writing. I picked out a few excerpts from the first few pages.

Day 1

We were looking for our tour guide and my aunt approaches the most likely candidate, this guy carrying a yellow and blue flag. My family is what you call Chinese retarded and it turns out it was the guy beside flag guy who was our tour guide. He held out this Chan Brother's sign in Chinese scrawled in green.

Gave up trying to listen to him on the bus when I realized I was translating phrases like "China is superior than Singapore as it is 400 000 years old and I translated "bullet train" as "peking duck".

1.11 pm 'There is more spit than floor'

Thought went like this "Cold Cold Cold Need Coffee Cold Cold Cold". Then I saw Starbucks and I was like "Alleluia Alleluia" and I purchased the first thing in China, the largest cup of coffee they had. Coffee makes me happy. Yayyyy.

Full moon

Dinner was fine actually. The food was good and the company too. One of the families was a mother and son, whom multi tasked his work on his phone while scribbling on a CNBC notepad. But once that was out of the way, he enquired about me being vegetarian and we discussed the sad state about coral reefs and people ruining the sea's biodiversity. He is a recreational diver apparently.

3.31 pm First Day of monthly cycle

Dried panda poop is used to stuff pillows to relieve aching necks. That settles it, the Chinese are insane.

The embroidery factory was cool. The stictchings looked like a real painting only better. Got attached to this goldfish stitching with three cute poofy goldfish which is supposed to represent Fu, Lok, Shan – wealth, rank, affluency. There is also a Chinese serial I'm missing by that name.

I like any serial with Bobby Auyang acting in it. He's like a round Chinese Jim Carrey, only much better.

Its 1.30 am.

It finally rained today. I waited ages for it.

I stuck my nose out through the checkered bars that is my window to inhale the air. Perhaps there's hope after all. Its quiet, really serenely quiet, no random hokkien swear words or mewing cats. Just peace.

Its just so perfect now. That's what I love about rain, it makes everything better. Even those delinquents can't be bothered to get drenched.

Ah well, I'm pushing the door marked common sense closed.

There's an awful ruckus behind it.

It sounds something like

"Dammit Steffi listen to me, are you bloody insane--Ow! Bugger that, you shut it on my finger...HELLOOOO ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?"

"Stop watching Spongebob already!"

So I figured these are the seven worst things that could happen when I tell mousy boy I like him. Because what the hey, I'm not going back for tuition and I have nothing to lose anyway.

The Worst That Could Happen
1) Nabilah doesn't get his number
2) He doesn't receive the message
3) He has a girlfriend already
4) He's not interested
5) He thinks I'm weird and avoids me like the plague
6) He wants to wait until after 'A's and doesn't call in the end
7) He's gay

Of all times to like a guy I have to pick now. I'm such a loser.

I WANT MY DAMN ATMOSPHERE BACK.

Then again if you give it a second thought, the air really belongs to everyone. But still, that's no friggin reason to treat the atmosphere as your own personal toilet.

Who should I be angry at? The Indonesian farmers for burning their fields? The Indonesian government for not giving enough of a damn to do something? ASEAN for not enforcing their Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution?

Do you know, that I dreamt that the world ended and I was among a few dozen people who hid and survived it. So there I was, emerging from the shelter with the survivors and we got around to rebuilding the world. We delegated, we supervised, we cared for the weak. And I was walking through a tree shaded path breathing in the fresh morning air when I thought to myself that we could make it work.

Nothing so drastic for change I hope but god, this world is going to the dogs.

I just want air that smells of dew and mornings and is so clear it hurts slightly when you breathe it in. Is that too much to ask?

At least there's econs tuition tomorrow, if I don't suffocate walking to the bomb shelter that is.

2006-10-16T09:24:00.000-07:00

Why I will never hear the end of it from Tash

1) *Mock hyperventilation whilst fanning herself* 'Oooo'

2) 'You were eavesdropping on him'
'The entire row was talking about it'
'Eavesdroppinggg'
'But-'
'Eavesdropping'

3) 'Nambila was talking to him...you have competition'

4) 'If you don't care why are you so concerned?'

5) 'Mousetasia'

etc.

I now know how Sal feels like.

you leave me feeling dirty

2006-10-13T04:36:00.000-07:00

Okay Claudio you're just being horrible.

There is this quirky boy in my econs tuition whose amusing answers pertaining to salt endeared me to him straight away. And he frequently speaks out to ask questions and give answers which is why Claudio told Tash and I that he hated the guy. In his hearing proximity no less as Tash told me later. Informed Claudio that he was being generally horrible. Seriously, he's sitting in front of you.

HE CAN HEAR YOU.

And he left early too.

And before you say Steffi remember the disaster of the last six boys who you thought were interesting-well okay five, the 4th one didn't count on account of him being weird and thinking I was his mistress-non, ma cheries, I am tres cautious like a tight rope walker. I'm just going early on Monday to make sure Claudio sits far away from him.

[edit]
Tash: He does look a bit mousy.
Me: This is seriously disturbing, it means I like animals way too much.

Me: Oh god if my future husband looks like a rabbit I won't ever have kids
Tash: You should at least have one called forestasia
Tash: or rabbitasia
Me: Or Harery

Gloria: 'Isn't that a colon like Fred Colon?'
Me: 'We'll kick their googaloug heads in'

'I wonder what will happen if we visited discworld?'
'We'll probably get mugged, licensed theft for a commision'
'Or be asked to join the seamstress guild'
'Who's that man in the seamstress guild?'
'There's a man?! Ew, then he'll be like a gigolo'
'Probably'
'Isn't he the one who wanted his socks knitted?'

A very fun game to play on your own to pass GP and Econs lectures away. Of course your head eventually starts hurting from thinking too much for a word.

Because some quotes need objectivity.

I finally caved and got Continuum by John Mayer, because there is some music so good it needs to be bought instead of being downloaded or recorded. The music is very bluesy and John Mayer's voice is like melted dark chocolate. I think Billy Joel said that modern music should be burnt because its all noise anyway. I have taken to listening to the background beats of the songs I hear on radio and he's right.

Good God its annoying.

Most songs usually have a four tempo drum beat and psycho guitar noise and on top of that, the singer is trying to raise his/her voice above it. Talk about music madness. Even Aint No Other Man, the song which I like listening to has the repetition of four beats which NEVER changes. Ba dum Ba Dum. It goes on and on. And for variation its dumdum dumdum.

Continuum has the same four beats but its more toned down. The guitar is gorgeous, the bluesy-ness of the songs just wrap around you and its not constant love songs anymore. The songs are about war, life, old age and yes okay maybe one or two love songs. Go here to listen to some songs from Continuum.

"They say we stand for nothing
And there's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it"

-----Waiting On The World To Change

"What puts a hundred thousand thousand children in the sand?
Belief can.
Belief can."

----Belief

"Hold on to whatever you find baby
I don't trust myself with loving you"

---I don't trust myself (with loving you)

'Stop this train' made me cry. I would post the entire song but you should listen to it. The whole thing.

"Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen Jealously, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground"

----Bold As Love

'Welcome to eHarmony Blog, the first and only weblog for eHarmony.com, a web-based matrimonial matchmaking service that successfully marries 90 couples a day. With 15 million registered members and 17,000 married couples out there matched through eHarmony...'

Guess what. eHarmony went to feature my video on this blog entry. No wonder it has over a thousand hits. Yeesh. Talk about advertising gimmick.

Marries 90 couples a day?! Whoa.

"Steffi Loe used the song as soundtrack to the following fan video for “You’ve Got Mail,” a film about finding one’s love online:

In 2005, eHarmony and its PR and advertising agency Donat/Wald negotiated publishing rights from Warner-Chappell Music and the master license for the Natalie Cole version of the song from EMI.1 The song now plays in every single eHarmony radio and TV commercial. In a press release, Donat said, “The new ‘Everlasting Love’ theme and Natalie Cole song provide an extra dimension of warmth and familiarity that will communicate the eHarmony brand to a new population of relationship-minded men and women.”

A fish with a smile

2006-09-28T07:18:00.000-07:00

Wei Xiao De Yu (The Smiling Fish) is a gorgeous book.

Look at it this way, you all know the standard of my chinese (somewhere in plankton level) and I'm endorsing this book.

The illustrations are really watercoloured and simple and each page has about two sentences in basic chinese that I'm mostly able to understand. But, the good thing about the book is that the storyline is simple, but I mean simple in the way that sunlight is simple. Its beautiful, gives you a warm glow and is thought provoking at the same time.

Its about this man who brings home a smiling fish to be his companion and best friend. It explores issues about freedom, not only the fish but of the man himself. I can't think of any better way of describing it except that when I read the book, I felt the same way when Mr Fahy showed this quote in lecture today.

I remembered, how often you and I
Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky.

---Heraclitus, William Cory

I'm not very sure if I should include this. There was a video short based on the book which was selected for the Taiwan, London and Hong Kong film festivals. I think the book has more impact and meaning if you read it. But if you're really dying of curiousity, here's the video.

Its a chinese book and I love it. That in itself should be evidence how good it is. Its seven dollars at Kino btw.

Whatever

2006-09-27T09:58:00.000-07:00

This has to be my favourite cartoon from Dan Piraro yet. Check out his site, its completely quirky.

BTW: PETA completely endorses him.

You have to love Gary Oldman. The uncut version of the sadly shortened nokia commercial. Hate the last scene though.

Okay, so the way I figure it, this week's pocket money is going towards to Sal's present and the 3 dollar admission fee for le beach trip with Tash, Anisha, Zar and Iz again.

And next week, I can finally get John Mayer's album, Continuum, that I've been drooling over for ages and the week after I'll get the cool webcam from Bridget.

I see cup noodles in my future.

Today before Chinese orals, we had a CLB lunch in school. Graham came up with the bright idea of practising our Chinese. It involved taking rap songs and translating them. I think he got a fair bit of Eminem translated. It went dui bu qi ma ma...we got stuck at figuring out what the chinese word for cupboard/closet was.

We spent about fifteen minutes trying to figure out if Golddigger was wa jing or wa jing ren.

Drop it like its hot was rather challenging. We settled on diao dong xi hao xiang ri.

God I'm tired. I don't see the point in trying to improve when after studying so hard for one paper it comes back with crap marks. Damn you international history. The other papers have yet to reveal its depressingness.

Get Nasty

2006-09-22T07:06:00.000-07:00

CLB was decidedly humourous today.

Even if I wasn't able to comprehend the question, a very helpful person in front yelled out what it meant. I was sitting at the back so I could see the entire class. My old and new CLB class before everyone was mixed around had a general good time and whatnot whereas everyone on the other side of the class were just being generally dull. Although I concede that Chinese produces a brain-numbing effect.

Me: Gloria why did you sign the attendance form with your Warcraft name?
Liang Bao: Level 54 bitch.

Liang Bao(to Zackson): Hey, have you gone shopping for prom.
Zackson: No, where are you gonna go?
Liang Bao: I heard the theme is masquerade.
Zackson: We can come in power ranger masks
Liang Bao: That's a good idea!

The universe is foiling my attempts to get over my book deprival. I went to the library and found out all of them were closed for some function thing and then I think yes we have a bloody newstand. But noooo, they only had girly magazines.

Then I spotted National Geographic going for five dollars. And I thought YES. Then I remembered I read it before because my uncle suscribes to it.

So okay, there is still the second hand book store outside the supermarket. Which apparently is selling chinese assessment books today. GRRRRRRRRR.

Thank goodness for Pratchett on my computer. Still, the white light emanating from the monitor screen is getting to me.

I had the urge to do another icon in Lukas Rossi's honour. Inspired by the very quirky Tommy Lee comments.

'Can you say...*dramatic pause*....rockstar' *tosses mike onto table*

or my personal favourite,

'You've raised the bar and I'm dragging up a bar stool'

I discovered after I switched Spot 1 and 2, the image editing softwares were deleted so I only could toggle with the contrast and brightness.

John Mayer's new album Continuum is out. Buy it people.

When I was 13, I picked up a guitar, and I knew what I was supposed to do with the rest of my life. When I was 19, I went to Berklee College of Music in Boston. When I was 22, I signed a recording contract with Columbia Records. When I was 23 I released "Room For Squares", when I was 26 I released "Heavier Things", I started John Mayer Trio at 27, and finished "Continuum" at 28. Not a bad track record, and I have you all to thank for it. You have given me an amazing life.

A dream within a dream within a dream

A dream within a dream within a dream.

At least that’s what I dreamt about yesterday during my two hours of sleep. According to Celeste, Genghis Khan discovered coffee so I have him to thank for my brain working again despite looting and pillaging and so forth.

I digress.

My dream within a dream within a dream. Okay firstly I was dreaming that I was dreaming. And in the dream of me dreaming, I was trying to wake up from my dream. Does that make sense?

Firstly, I was dreaming that I was sleeping on my bed. Why you say it could be some subconscious perception of your actual sleeping position. Well. I’m quite sure I’m not capable of hovering two feet above my bed when sleeping.

So in my dream of dreaming, in that dream, I was rationalising that someone was wrong and clearly explaining that it was obvious I was dreaming because I never dream in such detail. Said detail was a high resolution photograph I was pointing at with evolutionally-skewed whales which had eyes in front of their heads and frog mouths.

Through this I can’t remember much now except a vague feeling of being pursued. Not running mind you. Not fighting either. Just waiting I think? And in between fluctuated me struggling to wake up hovering two feet above my bed before falling asleep again.

It felt so real.

The only thing I remember saying was someone’s messing with my dreams. It doesn’t go this way.

I wonder if anyone else has a dream within a dream within a dream. Must be exam stress or something.

I couldn't be happier

"Tolkien's dead

Hi, I'm Terry Pratchett"

I WANT TO GO TO THE DISCWORLD CONVENTION!

(at least before I die which is a highly morbid thought which I shall not broach except that I'm quite confident of meeting a seven foot skeleton with a ~~scythe~~ vacuum at the convention)

So the next one is in 2008. Which I shall then be twenty and probably the youngest one there but that leaves me with two years to earn enough to get a ticket to London and find another Pratchett fan to go with.

Four days in a hotel with Pratchett fans, Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs, Diane Duane and much silliness equals BLISS.

But I'm sure by the time the Hogfather movie is out Pratchett fans will no longer be in obscurity but multiply like bacteria like LOTR fans.

I think I will go as Susan. How hard can it be to dye your hair white with a black streak, wear lots of black and have common sense? On the other hand I have to perfect the walking through walls thing.

Then again my prom dress and a mask could totally pass off as a Maskerade opera goer.

And if I get taxed for unlicensed cleavage like this other con goer I shall be in happy land.

Gloria: Don't use it, cannot one. Just use your hands.
Me: What?!
Gloria: Fine, then you spread until you die.
Mr Lim: Don't use the stirrers. Its not possible.

'Hogfather' TV film deal proves an offer Pratchett could not refuse
By Ciar Byrne, Media Correspondent
Published: 09 February 2006

His tales of a disc-shaped world resting on four elephants carried through space on the back of a giant turtle have hooked millions of readers worldwide. And Terry Pratchett, the best-selling author, now hopes to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter films with a £6m screen adaptation of his fantasy novel Hogfather.
It will be the first time that Pratchett's phenomenally successful Discworld series, which has sold more than 45 million copies, has been brought to life on the screen by real actors. David Jason will lead the cast as Albert, Death's assistant, a grumpy 65-year-old elf.

God I loved that book. Teatime kills the Hogfather (Santa) and Death has to take his place. Marc Warren from Hustle is playing Teatime which I think is perfect.

"And there's the sign, Ridcully," said the Dean. "You have read it, I assume. You know? The sign which says 'Do not, under any circumstances, open this door'?"

"Of course I've read it," said Ridcully. "Why d'yer think I want it opened?"

[Footnote: This exchange contains almost all you need to know about human civilization. At least, those bits of it that are now under the sea, fenced off or still smoking.]

What I really want to see is the Bursar on his dried frog pills. And Susan of course. And Death. And Ponder Stibbons. And the Librarian. Actually, I want to see the movie and be in happy land.

Which character from Arthurian legend are you? detailed answers

You are Queen Guinevere. Guinevere was extremely misunderstood. She had a great respect for her husband King Arthur, but he was much older, and she did not love him. Furthermore, she was childless--and in that time, especially for a queen (who had to produce heirs), that was a horrible fate. She fell in love with Lancelot, one of the King's most trusted knights, who was her age. It was true, deep love, but in the end Guinevere sends Lancelot away, admitting that their love was completely wrong. After Arthur's death, she entered a convent.

You are often misunderstood. In fact, there have probably been times when you just gave up on people, because they just couldn't understand. You may be reserved, even hostile at times, but that doesn't stop people from admiring you from afar, for your beauty or your talents. You pretend to not care what other people think, but you really do. Life seems hard. But you're strong, and you'll get through it.
Take this quiz!

Taking a much needed study break today (anger status is still at dangerous levels because I fantasised about doing a roundhouse on the girl rustling a paper bag while I was studying. ie see previous post) and crashed a dog show. I am of course unskilled at the art of identifying dog breeds so dogs from now will be referred too as big, small and comma shaped.

I took a seat at the back and let this huge hush puppy dog lick me all over. It had those eyes that go 'pleasseeee', which added to overall affectionability. So there I was getting dog drool over me and watching dogs running around in a circle. I particularly didn't like the man who owned the n-shaped dog. Firstly, whoever wear's an expensive dark suit in this sort of weather is insane and pretentious and secondly, no dog should look like an anorexic comma shaped supermodel. While they were running around in a circle, I swear the dog was giving its master a 'Why the heck are we doing this' look. At that moment, I was set to believe that dogs were smarter then men.

Then just as I was about to give up on the dog show and disinfect myself of dog drool, the juniors category starts. And who should enter first but the most humongous mass of woolly dog. It was white and fluffy and adorable and its owner was very sex godish. Actually, he kind of looks like Sal's eye candy who I dubbed hot ass. But I don't find hot ass cute and neither have i looked at his rear regions. It was just the day that I was trying to explain to Sal the french phrase for 'He has a hot ass'.

My brain cells are trying to figure out why I find that sex god godly when obviously hot ass looks like him. Maybe he's Sal's eye candy? Sal also seems mildly disturbed when I told her about anger giving me an adrenaline rush. It is also interesting to note that the only french sentences I know how to form are Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir and He has a hot ass, which goes to show that I should avoid France in general.

But I digress. So anyway, the competition was between fluffball and comma dog. I was silently rooting for fluffy. After running around in a circle and standing on a table, there was much scribbling on clipboards and sex god received a ribbon. The inner me cheered as he also won a blender. The top prize was a tv and a 5kg bag worth of dog food which I reckon comma-shaped dog should have received but I suppose the judges weren't feeling too sympathetic about dog anorexia.

So I was sitting there considering if I should go approach le sex god to pat his cute doggy. After all the hush puppy seemed to like me and my neighbour's dog often licks me so I'm sure I have dog affability. But then I remembered I was in my pyjamas and wearing mismatched earrings.

Studying has reduced me to a sad state. The highlight of my day? Eyeballing the comma dog's owner and fancying one who owns a dog that looks like a rug.

Whereas the ten commandments are multiple choice to some people, the seven deadly sins are to me check those which apply.

Pride, envy and sloth are already my bosom buddies and who should come along but anger. Me and anger, we just discovered the other existed.

Me and anger, we're a tricky pair. For reasons of social stability, when I'm angry, I try not to let it show. Everyone else is happier that way. If I'm brooding, I'm most likely angry at something. Which is all fine and dandy except that Anger scares me and attracts me. Its the very essence of savouring a sin.

I can't give it up. Its so strong, that it gives such a adrenaline rush, I can feel it reaching through my bloodstream, I get light headed and I develop an unquenchable need to run, to shout, to hit something.

But I can't let it out.

And it builds, filling every part of me until I can't think of anything else, just a roaring. My heart races, I breathe quicker. Its like water heaving behind the Hover Dam.

Don't make me, don't trigger it. Too many times. I could have hit you and you and you. I could. Don't make me. I stay away for my safety. And yours and yours and yours. The faces change the feeling is the same.

Which is why I'm afraid of losing my self-control. I think I feel what my primal de-evolved self felt, what it needed for an adrenaline rush. Even as I type this, a vein in my arm is throbbing with a slight sweet tinge of pain from the adrenaline.

I don't know whether to be scared.
Or to embrace it. Because one day its going to all come out and Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

You're wrong. You're wrong. You've done me wrong. You just did me wrong. The collective who always are. I know you are. I can't do anything.

No one who knows me has any idea how badly I want to hit something now. Both my arms have the tinge of adrenaline now. I can't breathe properly. Don't ask me what I'm angry about/for, I don't know myself. My head is throbbing. Last year I dreamt of a dead tiger, with the a strong scent. Tigers represent the passion in your spirit.

Goddess help me.

Its not the first time. But I wouldn't be me if I never felt every emotion to its fullest.

SHERRIE! [we've got the dreamers disease(:] says:

In that you are wrong my genetic counterpart, it is merely a satirically ironic sentence to bring out the hypocrisy and humorous intent.

(she signed out after that, I dub this CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SISTER)

2) A random guy stopped me at Bishan MRT

Him: Are you still in school?

Me: Yes.

Him: Are you from NTU (Nanyang Technological University I think)?

Me: Er, no.

Him: So what school are you from then?

Me: Oh Catholic Junior College.

(gets this surprised look)

Me: Oh I look older?

Him: Are you local?

Me: Yes I am.

Him: But your accent's quite strong.

Me: I think I get that from my friend.

Him: Okay then, bye.

Me: Bye

Hard Candy, a good movie if you're 18 and above

2006-08-16T03:19:00.000-07:00

Hard Candy, the name in itself is a contrast.

But I’m getting ahead of myself here.

I went to watch Hard Candy with Atiqah and her best pally. And always due to the universal rule of Murphy and conventions, there ARE giggling secondary school girls. Always. In every quiet place there are always giggling school girls. Well, okay since the movie is M18, they aren’t likely from secondary school, but they acted it. It’s the whole metaphoric whatsit that counts.

Hard Candy’s plot was definitely good/superb/two thumbs up for creating suspense. You can’t tell from the dialogue who’s actually the innocent one and the dry sarcasm at the later part of the movie between the two characters is really quite amusing at times.

Throughout the movie there was this contrast of red and blue. Blue fading to red transitions, the rooms painted blue, some painted red, the clothes they wear. I have to say that the cinematography is extremely good, the positioning of the shots could make a photo.

So on the escalator down I was trying to figure out what the red and blue means.

Atiqah: Wah lau, its not enough being fsv, you’re a lit fsv student so you have to analyse the camera angles, the transitions, the themes, the colours…

(May contain spoilers, stop reading if you want to watch it first)

Atiqah’s theory is that it signifies aggressiveness and passion. After long pondering on the bus, I think red is corruption versus the blue of innocence. In the Sixth Sense, the director used red as a signal for GHOST OVER HERE. But here, the scenes with blue, one of which is the guy buying a shirt for her at the coffee shop earlier in the movie. The shirt is blue. She’s also quite symbolically dressed in blue, her top, her skirt, even her bra strap is blue. So picture of innocence la dee da. When she is performing the castration on the guy for supposedly being a paedophile her surgeon top is completely blue because she hasn’t done it, it stands to reason she isn’t corrupted yet, thus the blue.

After the operation however, when she’s cleaning up traces of herself, the camera focuses on her in front of this red wall before she hangs the picture. And, at the end of the movie, after ending it once and for all, she covers her head with a red hoodie. And it ends. In corruption.

On the other hand, when she is typing out a suicide note to cover her tracks, the wall is distinctively blue, which of course won’t be innocence because she already did the op. But then again it could signify the uncertainty of whether the guy is innocent or not. Because she’s framing him and it could represent his innocence instead.

Or the contrast in red and blue would also reflect the contrast of the film’s name Hard Candy. Hard conveying weathered with negative connotations whereas Candy is soft and what you associate with more positively. Even red and blue could reflect the gender contrasts as the two main characters are male and female. And the male is being accused of mistreatment of females. I mean all his victims will female, and there is also the possibility of male victims in paedophilia. Think Michael Jackson. Not that he’s guilty, we don’t know that for sure. I’m just saying.

I think I just overanalysed the first M18 movie I watched.

Truth! Justice! Reasonably priced love! Freedom! A hard boiled egg!

2006-08-14T09:42:00.000-07:00

I seem to have developed a new found trek up the slope of womanhood.

I'm shopping more, I went ahead and pierced my ears and today, for the first time out of my own free will, I put on make up. Maybe this comes with the territory of being 18. Latent curiousity of 'I wonder what happens if I do this', admittedly similiar to thoughts of people that are currently respiratorally and vertically challenged.

I found myself wondering how a tattoo would look like on my ankle just now, but reasoned the pain and existence of henna is not worth it. So thankfully, my common sense is still intact.

I read somewhere that 18 is the prime age for women to get pregnant. And readers of the male persuasion of my blog stop reading now. You have been warned.

(I know you will anyway)

Since this year, my monthly cycle has become heavier which means that more uterine lining is being sloughed off. My body is screaming KIDS KIDS. At least that's what I think its saying. It smells like vintage wine and I'm not kidding. (sorry for that particular image people)

But anyway, on a different topic, I found this blog yesterday which I was reading at 1 am in the morning written by students from the ivy league schools. Read the entry about Cornell's authorised school blog, I found it quite amusing.

For those of you who have read Nightwatch and read it again, you get a pat on the head from me.

Unless you think friendster doesn't get you enough stalkers and you would like to upgrade this status to a more world-wide one.

In the space of half an hour that I signed up for it because I was so bored and restless. Believe me, I was ready to kangeroo hop around the house.

GAH bloodly.

Oh yes sorry. Before i got sidetracked I meant to say that bing box has far too many stalker like people.

Okay apparently I uploaded this photo and this is highly attractive to men from Greece and Turkey.

For crying out loud, I can see my own zits there. It may be that people on bingbox are blind. Then again I'm beginning to see what Mdm Damo means by Turkish men being very sex godly. There's one who surfs and has a body like granite. But of course this is not the point because now I have some stalker from Australia who is 49 years old and horny.

Some want to do unspeakable things to me with a web cam.

And those who are civil enough still suck at pick up lines.

So lesson of the day is bingbox=stalkers=bad news

what is it you want from me

2006-08-08T21:50:00.000-07:00

Two things.

1) This is me pimping John Mayer's blog (not that it needs any but he's my favourite singer)

2) I got goosebumps listening to this, honestly everyone should hear this.

Oh so pretty

2006-08-05T11:20:00.000-07:00

I can’t believe that the first major event I have to face when I’m eighteen is sending my best friend back to the states. I suppose we’ll go back to the occasional text messages and IMing each other.

Its not really the same.

When Bridget and I were getting back, the MRT service at the airport closed so we had to take the bus instead. One of Sam’s brother’s friends, Timothy, took the bus with us. Anger Management was playing, the bit where everyone was going ‘I’m so pretty, all so pretty, and weird’.

Me: ‘You know what the sad thing is, I could probably get my class to do that’
Timothy: ‘I would’

*Proceeds to stand up in the bus aisle, twirl around in a circle and sing ‘I’m so pretty, oh so pretty’*

Patiently informed him he was mad and it wasn’t a good idea to lose his dignity. To which he replied that it was precisely that he had his dignity that he could do that. That makes sense.

In a convoluted sort of way.

Oh Zar, he knows Marianne. You can ask her if she knows a Timothy in canoeing.

There are a number of people I want to thank for making my 18th Birthday special. Here it goes, in order of appearance.

1) Zar and Iz for designing the shirts for me, Anisha for designing the card and showing it off. Constantly. Tash for coming up with ‘To the future’, ‘KAY!’
2) Crenshaw for putting up a magic show for me and Solikin for trying
3) Gloria for the Borders voucher
4) FSV for the ginormous cake and sea monkeys.
5) Bridget and Sam for making sure they videoed me getting my ears pierced and for the earrings and making me pasta and brownies.
6) And all the birthday wishes from everyone.

I don’t feel 18 though. I hardly think I’m alcoholically inclined or 4D numbers. But.

DOES ANYONE WHO IS EIGHTEEN WANNA WATCH THE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER HARD CANDY WITH ME?

Having low blood pressure is probably like being drunk or being on steroids. Not that I would know, because beer tastes awful and you don't see any manly sort of hair growth going on.

But I suppose the light-headed feeling and wonky looking floors when I try to walk around is the same. I think the improving circulation tablets are making me heavily medicated because I'm waking up to something that feels like a bloody hangover.

The high point in my day has to be discovering that John Mayer has a nifty sort of self-depreciating wit that I haven't seen since Arrested Development. That and it rained while I was eating chocolate biscuits.

This random musing popped into my mind while I was trying to study Econs.

Last week in GP, we were attempting to argue the point Haan brought up that all women are dependent on men.

Am I?

The moon anklet I wear is a reminder to channel my independent spirit, to not be downtrodden and never be or settle for second best.

So following this train of thought, I recall Sam, Bridget and I sitting in Coffee Bean updating each other on the various men in our lives. Bridget of course finally has Shaun and Sam and I have our stalkers. Bridget did point out once to me that it wasn’t that the universe wasn’t giving me any chances, I just toss them back, rather cruelly I may add.

I don’t know if I should feel bad that I’m ignoring these guys. I can name those in school who are just annoying stalkers. And more outside school too. Mdm Damo did say that it was part of our maturenoisity as young women that we are fickle.

Maybe I should turn on the part of my brain that gives a damn.

Then again could have followed through, seize the chances and screw the consequences. But then some flaw in it creeps in and I can’t. So goodbye.

Honestly they are so damn annoying. Its probably horrid what I'm doing.

I mean are you people that idiotic that you can’t figure out me ignoring you means Shove Off Butt-Faced Miscreants. Then again maybe I’m too much of a coward to tell you to your face all the reasons I don’t want you in my life anymore. You guys just complicate things. And I admit its my fault for being so fickle which is probably why we have those Men from Mars and Women from Venus books.

I don’t think women are dependent on men. Rather, they just come into our lives and complicate the hell out of it and when you cut the strings, they still persist. More like the other way around.

I conclude men are like drugs or alcohol or parasites.

Stupid frigging dependency. Not that it helps that I give off a shrink aura too.

Goawaygoawaygoaway. Stop damn well persisting.

They should just stay my friends/a twenty mile radius away from me.

Things I hate about my new editing software

1) It doesn't let you put cross fades on certain clips no matter how arse long you extend it.
2) It hangs when you put cross fades on certain clips.
3) The song playing gets messed up if you don't play it from the start.
4) The song starts getting static because of latter reason. So someone who has watched white noise up at ungodly hours at night gets supremely freaked out.
5) I love windows media editing default programme more and more as I use it.
6) I feel like swearing but I can't because that will upset other people.
7) Waving my fist at it doesn't seem to do anything. Computers apparently don't respond to violence.
8) I'm becoming more unsympathetic to racial harmony day.
9) Why can't you bloody well shuffle the clips on the timeline?!
10) Stupid fucking programme

How to make Steffi your friend forever:

1) Don't become a bloody stalker
2) Don't tell her she's wrong, even if she is (she doesn't like it and she sure as hell will never admit it)
3) When she gives off the go away/piss off and die vibe, please follow accordingly
4) Don't be condescending

Anyone who's reading this. Its not necessarily directed at you. Its more of a combination of the pre-menstrual syndrome and several bad days strung together on a washing line.

Oh She's good-I think she does Lithium better than Nirvana.

Lukas Rossi! A bit too much ego but he's entitled. Besides his accent also means I'm rooting for him.

Oh Goddess. The Great Singapore Sale is bloody tough. Have travelled through every shopping mall in Orchard, from Far East to Taka to Robinsons. My poor feet. Thanks to the gym my arms are cramped like crumpets. Also have come to the conclusion that shopping must be taken in small doses because my body is not accustomed to it.

The food courts at the Esplanade

I don't know what this is but the flash went off by mistake and voila. I love the light and shadow contrast.

Look at the hair texture versus everything else. Whoop. Ghostly much.

Me: I'm not wearing the pink!
Bridget: Fine, I'll take the pink.
Sam: White is like the playboy bunny.

I just like the flashy lights.

Lovely drawing of us planning to murder Bridget because she was uberly late.

Bridget wants to look like the girl on the label with pink hair and the works.

One of those WTF pictures. I spy a cigarette floating in the sea. *sighs*
