Wtf, I cried watching Happy Feet.
Interesting ending though.
OMG!

I must be tired
So many heart string pulling parts in "Going Home" (Channel U 8 - 9pm).
Iriana Halim seems like a very interesting introvert who lives primarily in her own world. I'd like to see introverts making insightful comments and observations and discovering their inner selves.
The one part that I felt rather emotional about was her talking about her Chinese teacher Ding Zhongfu who gave her a...calligraphy note? And a teddy bear before she immigrated to another country (I forgot which). Now that she's revisiting her old school, she realised it was too late for her to express her gratitude because he'd already passed away.
Perhaps I'm just tired in general, but thoughts like this are a norm to me... Thoughts about when and how people would be leaving you. Sometimes it's an indifferent curiosity, sometimes it causes so much anxiety it pains me.
Each year, I feel like I'm getting closer to the crux of the issue. Yet at the same time, I feel like each year, I'm closer to the end of this lifetime.
By rights, I should live till about the average lifespan of 60~80+... But sometimes, I feel like the end is far, or maybe just sooner than we all expect it to be.
I'm not suicidal if you're wondering...
Just that...I think while we're still alive...more of us need to learn contented living. If we're contented now...we die contented. The thought of forever chasing a happier life because right now society doesn't approve you and then accidentally dying discontented...
...I think I should put all that in my private fic. Haha.

Sentimental
Wrote yet another sad part to my private fic. :'(
That aside...
Relevant people will probably never read this but whatever it is...
To the different people who used to be in my life, I'm probably a part of your past, significant or insignificant.
To be honest... I want to remain in the past. I don't want to reawaken something that died long ago. It's almost melancholic to watch people trying to catch the past that no longer lives today. We try to catch up, but really...there's nothing interesting about me. I don't like watching people trying so hard to find something to speak to me with.
I want to keep the doors closed.
And to the people who are still in my life, if I ever become a part of your past, please, let me stay there.

Silence
Silence is good. It lets you hear what is spoken and what isn't. And when you can hear them, listen to them. And when you listen to them, you'll understand a lot more.
When there's so much noise in and out of you, you'll be drowned out.
You won't hear a thing, let alone listen and understand.
把脑子放空， 才能注意聆听。

Stupid Dream
I dreamt that an irritant (in my real life) ordered lots of furniture and got the desk that my father made and set up replaced. He spent thousands of dollars doing it, and I was damn angry cuz he didn't even ask me for permission before he proceeded with the work. Plus, how could he just replace my dad's work like that!?!??!
Then, at one turn of the head, the whole setup disappeared, and Liz was around in the room. I asked her if she knew about that irritant doing all that crap and that I swore I saw the changes... (cuz suddenly all gone) She said that he was blacklisted by several furniture shops because he'd buy a lot of them, fix up, and then take down and refund all of the furniture he bought. Hahaha.
I woke up.
And today, said irritant came to my house. >.>
I can be a psychic or a prophet already. <.<

Pink Color Lipstick?
Whatever that show is called in English. Uh. Okay while it's like a spin off from Cruel Temptation...
...I like how most of the arguments are kept short! Not like Cruel Temptation...long-winded, repetitive and nonsensical. The good guys all dunno how to argue one. At least this show they know how to get back at the bad guy! I...think and I hope. Oh well. In general the characters just feel smarter...anddd their reaction makes more sense. Haha. Got a bit more power balance than in Cruel Temptation.
...
These days, as I write my personal fiction, I think it's really fiction. Haha. The characters are ridiculously loyal, devoted, selfless and self-sacrificing man. ... ... I'll just continue to dream. It's a pretty nice dream. If it keeps you happy, why not? ^^

@_@
Already feel like deleting FB @_@ How long can I last there...
Oh well...
On a side note, my mother has gone Genting for a week. Disorder in the order!!!
And, I totally don't get it. My mother ordered my dad to water the plants. So why is he kicking up a fuss when we don't water the plants fast?!
Spiteful words. Dislike.
Sigh, sigh, need to bathe, need to sleep... I'm getting irritable.

Staying Disconnected
Facebook was fun for a short while...
...but with the increasing Add Friend count, I'm inclined to retreat to this isolated abode.
While Facebook keeps it easy for everyone to keep in contact and follow up on your life, I personally think it encourages laziness.
I don't really understand randomly adding people and keeping them updated about your life when you know your life doesn't matter to them. And let's be honest...some people's lives just don't matter to you either.
It probably sounds dramatic, but adding people whom I respect and are acquaintances with but see no point in updating my life with is daunting and can suffocate me.
In recent years, I've come to accept that I'm just horribly introverted. My mother doesn't like to socialise, and Liz is famous for being a recluse among all her ex-school mates. I don't think I'm breaking the pattern either. In fact, before I was aware about something called social life, staying at home and doing my own thing forever was and still remains an attractive thought to this date.
I'm comfortable living with my online game, my gaming consoles, my fictions and well...just being with my family. Just thinking about my fictions is enough to keep me entertained everyday.
Admittedly, another reason I don't like to stay connected is because ironically sometimes, being in a crowd actually amplifies the sense of being alone. I don't know how to explain it, but that awful feeling is tangible. It sounds funny but my fictions make better company to me than being together with a bunch of people whom I don't care about and people whom I know don't care about me.
Yeah... I do fear being alone.
I don't expect to be understood, but I write this post anyway because I thought you might want to try to.
And no, I don't mean I don't need friends. My mother has frequently accused me of placing friends above family. (How that happens, I wonder) I'm just saying that this is what I'm like. I'll miss my friends if they ever left me, but I won't force them to stay with me either. Cuz I want to keep it mutual. It's sad if we have to force one another to stay together instead of wanting to be together on mutual consensus. ^^

Another Reason for staying single
I said I'd sleep but haha, I just remembered this so I thought I'd type it out first before I sleep and forget.
I went to eat dinner with my mother cuz Liz had OT and my uncle went to JB. My father had to eat late, so we ended up eating dinner ourselves.
So, I dunno why, but we talked about getting married and stuff.
Me: I'm not suited for marrying. One primary reason is that I'm interested in doing my own thing quite a lot.
Mother: Just like your dad!
Me: ...Actually, that's one thing. I think the bigger reason is, I will end up being unable to stand a lot of things in my partner and nag and kaopeh and say a lot and make it unbearable for both of us!
Mother: LOL just like me!!!
Good. So my mother has some self awareness! HOHOHO!
But seriously lah... I'm aware of the kind of demands/expectations I place on people. I've been working on that forever @_@ It's a conscious effort to tell myself not to place demands. Liz was just laughing earlier today when I came to a sudden awareness that I have strangely high expectations of people around me when I play game. I expect everyone to know what they're doing, and I have endless questions when they do completely incomprehensible things. I don't have anything personal against them, seriously D: I'm not even a pro gamer myself. Casual hardcore but not quite there...
...How did that turn into gaming rant...
But yeah. I like to be able to trust people near me when they show consistency--I don't even need to expect. I just know they would. I think Liz has been dealing with my strange expectations for a lifetime now she doesn't even feel a damn thing xD (Funnily, she doesn't quite bother to fulfill my expectations though. She expects me to fulfill hers though!?!?!?)
I don't know how long it's been that way, but I appreciate it when people are reliable. Which is why I beat myself up a lot when I become unreliable. ~_~
Oh well... And how that relates to wanting to stay single... I think unless the other party is an *AHEM* good looking sage, you can expect the relationship to break very soon.

Gaming Social Interaction Thoughts (woah big title!)
I think I need to spend an hour a day to study wtf Facebook is talking about D: I...am still trying to tell the difference between Wall and News Feed. >.>
Meanwhile...
...Um. Well, while playing my online game, I join random squads and all that for experience, and now, for future squading convenience, I look for people whom I think are okay to work with and just add them as long as they don't suck.
I don't know why, I recently added a person whom I don't remember to be so chatty! I added her cuz I thought she was pretty ok gaming skill wise... But just a few days ago, she suddenly pm-ed me and started chatting with me. I'm fine with that. What I'm a little o_o!? about is how she pms me...for two hours. Not continuously, but she expects the chat to go on like it does on msn o_o I don't do that with strangers man...
...not especially if they sound like they're thinking about *another direction*!
Well see...in an online gaming environment, some, while they know that their characters don't necessarily represent the correct player sexes, will still regard people based on their characters, and that's fine. I do that too. I don't usually guess the sex behind the character since I don't really care--I only care if we can work in a team.
But...what's it with people...assuming that their characters represent their sexes...and start flirting on that assumption!?!?
??????
As I mentioned somewhere on my blog before, I make a terrible flirt. I avoided female toons because I prefer trash talk to flirting. And well, I personally don't think male players are inclined to ask another "male player" (or at least, male character) about their personal lives... BUT they bother to pm female characters and hope to hit up with the player (until they get the "im a guy" msg).
When I played Ragnarok Online, I was never hit on by any female character even though I thought my thieves were pretty, erm, cool looking. Hehehe.
But now that I'm on another game...
...why are the girls so initiative?!?
In my eyes, my characters look nice to me even though another segment of my brain tells me it looks otherwise to the general public (like how my toons are called ah bengs and ugly and all).
You know, I'd rather the girls who hit on me were like *ahem* someone else's hit on experience, with a very simple "OMG you look cool, marry me!" so I can dish out, "Sorry, I'm attached" or "I'm planning to marry my alt" or some other random cool shiet to check out people's reactions.
But the kind of experiences I have?? (Btw, all the below ones are from different people)
"Gimme a hug! ;D"

"Gimme a hug! ;D"
(out of the blues, which soon became an expectation before I log off)
"You will keep me warm? ;O"
(erm don't ask me how it ended up there)
"We're alone... *evil smirks*"
(I swear to the powers above, someone suggested that to me while we were waiting for other squadies to turn up)
"Omg what are you thinking? Dirty? *evil smirks*"
(To my very literal comment of "It's getting late" because...it was going midnight in my world)
"Where ish youuuu D:"
(I don't remember any appointments with this person)
"Yes I remember you handsome *shy face*"
(I remembered the person for being a good player but I forgot her face)
"Get me a (insert random ultra rare expensive stuff) ♥"
(Wah lau, I don't know you you don't know me, ask me give you treasure...)
"Do you like me? :P"
(Was that a joke? I really don't know, it was 4+am in the morning when she asked so I don't know wtf I answered)
And most of the time, these (I assume) girls will chat at length just to see my reaction. No matter how lame the conversation gets, they will still go on and on then test my reaction. Wah lau. Some more if I don't respond, they will find chance to dump the question back in my face! (E.g. I was literally extorted and pushed around for a hug...wth)
Aiyahhh wah lau. If I were a guy, maybe I'd have twice the amount of fun with all the conversation above but alas, I think I'm getting better at roleplay. >.>

To join or not to join...
...Facebook?!?!
If you're reading my blog, you are either my juniors, Liz, spam bots, Mel, someone the above listed has leaked my add to, or past enemies/friends who try really hard to Google and stalk me. (Oh yes they exist) I personally don't remember who else I've ever told to about this blog so...woops if you're not listed!
I abandoned the blog I started ermmm I think 6 or 7yrs ago. I stopped logging on msn regularly sinceee I think 3 or 4 yrs ago. And I don't have Facebook. So, I have been pretty untraceable for a long time now.
Now, what raised this question was because...
+ On 18 Dec, I went for my juniors' pot luck session and realise they talk coded because they already have the background info of their topic on Facebook statuses!
+ On 8 Jan, I went for the HSC alumni band BBQ session and realise they talk coded yet again because they repeat above sentence
PLUSSS...I don't blog surf. THAT or people have deleted their blogs >:(
[You troublesome sods!]
So the last place I can ever go to, to update myself about people's lives...is there. D:
><
Noooo
Well... I was online with bel earlier today and I asked her this question. As I've told her, my concern is...
WHAT if people I don't like want to stalk me...?
Her: Don't add friend!
Or what if people who don't know I don't like them want to add friend me?!
I used to dish out with a smile to boot, "I no have facebook! :D" But if I have one now... !!! TE-NEHHH *horror music*
Her: *an advice that I must not divulge*
Ummm I can't remember who told me (maybe it was huizhen :o) that I can just create an account and leave it empty. Good idea...
Though...
I still like being ancient and telling people upfront I have no Facebook since every other person who lost contact with me and are trying to re-establish contact always ask that as the first question.

WOAHHH
Who is having sex and how often?!
*nods in enlightenment*
...I re-read the thing and realised that...
I TOLD THE WRONG THING TO MY MOTHER HAHAHAHA
By the way, have I ever mentioned how my mother once called me a pervert? D:
But, actually, I think she and my father are worse!
Ah...
家丑不得外流啊！

:(
I wish the noise in my head would go away. I'm not hallucinating, not imagining things or hearing things but...I have too many thoughts that I don't know if they are even valid. I don't know why I have problems feeling safe and secure. It sometimes feels like there's a barbed wire fence inside me.

$1,000 to erm, beautify your eyebrows
(This post was for two days ago)
I don’t comprehend this. SGD $1k can nab you… (either/or)
2 months worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner
10 months worth of just lunch on only working days
2 computers
A trip to overseas
750 Gold on games
Almost half my yearly savings plan (one of them)
Close to 2 months worth of utility bills
Etc etc
But why? Why would the average clerk spend SGD $1,000…to beautify eyebrows??!!??!!
I cannot comprehend it, nor do I try to. For some reason, I can understand spending $1k on a full set of clothes including shoes and bags, a huge treat to treat an entire department worth of people, or…or just iPhone10.
But… $1k? On…eyebrows???
Eyebrows???
I’m still baffled.
Are the results of beautifying your eyebrows that earth shattering? I walked past the clerk today without even noticing anything!
(Woah, now THAT’S kinda earth shattering when I think about it.)

Cash Studio at Bedok
On 31st Dec, we intended to pass our new year countdown...but...alas, we didn't book room so... D:
It was postponed to today! It was at Bedok Central's Cash Studio.
...What can I say. 3hrs of karaoke always feels so short. And uh, this outlet, though cheaper (and today was normal weekend rate), has a very low range of Japanese songs >< Even Kbox has more! The Orchard outlet one has a lot more Japanese songs, but I'm just too lazy to go... Kbox has better organisation of songs too. My parents took forever before they found songs they knew how to sing man... -.-|||
BUT!!! You know what??? Cash Studio...allows outside food and drinks!!!
(To think we were quite secretive with the small box of watermelon cubes dabao-ed from home. Zzz. Yeah, somehow, my mother smuggled watermelon into Cash Studio even without our knowing >.>)
Still...I was appalled to find that there were NO L'Arc~en~Ciel songs in there!!! I wanted to find Julia ni Heartbreak but no!!! Don't have!!! (I didn't bother to check if there was Hisame...)
Thanks to that, I ended up singing only Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki and Jay Chou songs. Zzz. Eh but then, I realise that Ayumi's songs are damn shiok to sing at the KTV! :D My MUST sing songs: Heaven, Forgiveness and Blue Bird! Utada's Flavor of Life and Prisoner of Love are nice to sing as usual... Erhhh I like Kiss & Cry, but I guess I...really haven't been practising much with it...
Wah lau... Really damn few songs leh. Erh Jay Chou song is kinda falling out of my favor as is Avril Lavigne... ... ...
...
So I guess it's time to learn more songs...
Still, I'm going to learn more Ayumi Hamasaki songs! Really nice to sing cuz don't have to use throat that much! Use a lot of erh...I forgot what that stomach part is called.
Wanna go again but alas...laziness kicks in. u.u
