{ D'you know me? }

How's it going mate?

Haven't been updating this space of mine for quite awhile because many things have happened and they've been occupying my time and energy ** so yea, pardon me for the lack of updates.

So in chronological order, the list of insignifican events that took place:
My birthday.
Let's do a wish count shall we?**
sms: 10
facebook, friends:28 strangers:5
cards:3
And there're no gifts to gift count but anyways I still love everyone who wished me. And thank you for counting down to my birthday with me.

Then there was oral presentation which I think was uggh cause I spoke** really fast.

And after that I fell ill. And the doctor even said that if the fever persisted, I might have H1N1. What a scare. But I'm still sick and all that phlegm stuck inside me is super irritating. I feel like vacuuming them out.**

And how many of you can actually pronounce the word gnome without any help and without doubt, like the word just comes out of your mouth naturally as if you've been ** saying it all the time in your entire life?

Well I can't. And if you want to laugh, whatever. Anyway I wanted to insult me friend by calling her a gnome (I think you're imagining how she looks like now but that's not why I called her that) but I realised that I couldn't say it so I resorted to saying it literally.

Me: You're a g-know-me.
Friend: What the hell is that?
Me: g-know-me. you know. g-n-o-m-e.
Friend: (laughs hysterically)First,I'm laughing that you called me a gnome, then I'm laughing at the way you said it.

And we came to a conclusion that g-know-me sounds like D'you know me? And we continued walking and talking like silly fools, repeating this: D'you know me? I'm g-know-me!

I've watched Coraline. It's horribly good. It freaked me out as much as Alice In Wonderland did. I'm really afraid of cartoons with talking animals and tunnels and other worlds whereby anything can happen. And that's what Alice In Wonderland has in common with ** Coraline. Anyway the 3D effects were reallly awesome and I was really clinging on to my seaat and squirming at the end when Coraline was trying to escape from the other mother. The music accompanying the movie was eerily good too. Overall, it was a good halloween treat for me.

Alright, that's enough for today's post. Have a good week, friends!

jolie-laide
a woman who is not conventionally beautiful but who is oddly attractive.

I think this term is perfect to describe Zooey Deschanel along with many other female artistes whom I adore. And actually to most things in life that I like. Music, shows, blahblah. They don't have to be beautiful in a way which most people would agree but yet, still be attractive in a magical way.

So as I'm typing this, I'm having this really big argument with Mrs Mak. She's going on about how she's really pissed and shocked that I think respect has to be earned and that I think respect, is really over-rated. I don't know. I think respect along with love and care, all these terms, sometimes they just get so confusing and interchangeable.

Mrs Mak says, when you greet your grandmother, you do it because you respect her?
I say, it can be because of etiquette or simply good manners.

And as usual, because she cannot lose an argument, or actually any argument, she went on to shout and blabber on and basically do everything to torture my ears to show that she still triumphs over me because she is, still my mother.


I MUST WATCH Caroline in 3D and Fantastic Mr Fox.

{ Persona non grata }

I did a new picture for the blog. Well, it wasn't exactly for the blog but well, I loved it so much I decided to use it for the blog as well.

Do you like it? Leave a tag if you do! ;)
Do you even like what I write here?
If you don't, please leave.

Random. Anyway,I've changed the font too.
I think Georgia is pweeety.

I'm updating so often now. Free time and blogging goes hand in hand.

OMG. I just spent like ten minutes staring at my blog. I mean like I'm seriously in love with the picture. Okay, it's 2.36 am and I have Oral Presentation meeting tomorrow in the morning so I must sleep. What an eeediot I am.

Hell yes, I'll go Maksim with you.
Half his name is one third of mine.
Why should I not want to go?

{ Now here, is nowhere. }

Please ignore the previous post. I believe you've had enough of me complaining about my exhaustion and shit.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that 500 days of Summer is not over-rated.

Recently I've been hearing comments from people that it's over-rated. Some say it is over-rated because apparently lots of people are watching and maybe they haven't watched enough indie shows then they go gushing over this like it's the best ever like how they do to all other mainstream shit and yea, then the over-rated shit comes out.

Ugh. I wished they screened it only in certain cinemas and didn't gave it as much publicity and perhaps, if only they screened it for only a week here.

Okay you might think I'm contridicting myself too since I gave the show two thumbs up. But whatever. I just hate it when stuff like these gets mainstream attention and yea, it becomes popular. I hate popularity, like that. Now more people will like Zooey Deschanel.

Oh dear.

I hope the same thing won't happen to other upcoming indie movies.

{ Caught in a drunken state }

One can be drunk without drinking. Because being drunk is a state. A state whereby your mental and physical faculties are impaired by something which doesn't necessarily have to contain alcohol ... or maybe it must be alcoholic. But whatever.

So I've been drunk. Drunk because of exhaustion and weariness. I've been uttering rubbish to the people around me, answering illogically to questions, forgetting things that were done and said while 'drunk' and at times while walking I just really feel like my mind and body are functioning separately with the former fully asleep and the latter moving.

Random phrases that I've said(and actually managed to remember):
somebody's stomach growled
and I went, The/Your chickens are growling!
I was dicussing something over the phone and out of nowhere
I went, Use the green plastic bag to put the things

I think it's the side effects of the promos and then now, the ongoing PEEUU and plus I'm super overwhelmed by the fact that I don't have to touch my books for now, so I keep going out and out and out and I don't give myself the time to rest.

And I was thinking, at the rate time is slipping away from our fingers, will I ever have the time?

{ Gerontophobia, The steps to writing, Random bull }

I've come to this conclusion that most elderly look eerily like monkeys/apes/other animals belonging to the primate species. Especially old men. The skin sags and the face becomes elongated like an ape. The mouth droops, the lips form a perpetually sad expression,pigmentation spots dot the face and all the wrinkles rest at the corner of the eyes.

Those guys are spoiling the art of writing. They're breaking it down to clear steps with the standard formats we all have to stick to. That's not writing. Well maybe it is. I don't know. I just find it extremely disturbing that everyone's writing the same shit.

I don't think I'll get retained.

{ I am ... so many things }
