Pickled thoughts.

I can't seem to explain someone's unhealthy obsession with a certain Faizal of Singapore Idol fame. I mean, yeah, I know he's really pretty to look at and all, but, asserting that he's one of the best singers ever is just plain poppycock. Besides, Tabitha is hotter than Faizal.

Hahaha. Listen to my shallow rants about Singapore Idol contestants. Anyway, in a few minutes time, the delivery-man will be here with my pizza (Pizza Hut>Canadian). Just updating a bit on some of the utterly mundane random thoughts floating around in my brain. Talking bout brains.

Heres a thought (for me) to ponder upon. Why is it that everytime a new season of Survivor appears, there will always be some new commercial airing that depicts dead human organs in all of their glory? I mean come on. It seems that Channel 5 will always be finding new ways to torment me about my unexplainable phobia of bodily innards. Curse Body Worlds and their collection of dead, pickled people. *Shivers*

Adieu September.

Time moves in a curve. For sure. (I'm no astrophysics whiz, but you don't have to take my word for it *scoffs*). If my mind were (note the use of plural form, for I have multiple minds) a supermassive black hole, then I pray that the galaxies and constellations of memories i've sucked up in life won't collapse upon me. Amen. Watch 'The Universe' on The History Channel for maximum information absorbance.

Back from Dad's, I am. We had a great time catching up. Watched 'Knowing' on Blu-Ray {insert your e.t. sound effect here}. Nicolas Cage does sci-fi pretty well. Last half hour of the movie was disappointing though. Oh yeah. Dad knows how to make cheese sauce. Nachos cheese sauce. It's one of his many hidden talents, but sad to say, there weren't any nachos around, so we had them with salted popcorn (microwave style) instead. Yeah, were losers.

This week is all about the outings. Dinner at Sam's, visits to random relatives (who give me cash for no reason), Eid outing with the SDN peeps and probably a dramanite dinner. I'm off to buy new pants in larger sizes...NOT. Haha, I don't gain weight easily, and I love rubbing it in. Smirks aside, I hope this extended h------r ends soon. You heard nothing. *Smirks*

Code.

Disclaimer: Don't bother reading if you're dumb, straight up.

Okay, so today went by in a flash. It wasn't as difficult as I thought, dealing with so and so. Sighs. It's great when things like schoolwork and people get to you; all talk of sad simplistic notions and the usual soul-less design concepts, they all seem so frivolous to some, although most people are just too mundanely self-absorbed in their own thoughts to acknowledge so. Of course, just call something incomprehensible stupid or weird, it's too easy, I don't blame them. Oh listen to me rant.

Studio Project lecturer Miss Ong was one tough nut to crack. Give me more, more, more. I am a little puzzled with her design methodology, it's too long winded, even by my standards. We both are apparently two very different people. Too generic? Me? Laughs, you have no idea how 'simple' I can be, Miss. Nice woman, quite brilliant. Heck, who am I, the naive design sophomore, to judge a wizened artist? Haha, where's Subrina when you need her? Tsks. Can't wait to be at loggerheads with her in the near future; though, I have a new plan.

And God, how I love words. Even when I can't hear or understand them, they unconsciously affect me. When you talk, I know. I always know, there's nothing to hide. Heck, it is fun to see people blissfully unaware of my awareness of a said something, but can they at least try to do a better job of concealing? Say discreetness, that can be improved. I read facial expressions well. Your body is a book to me. Definitely. Sorry that I know too much, but live with it. Professor X, step aside.

And finally, to those that care, I am not insane. Depends. If you call someone unafraid of expressing himself intellectually in a profound way weird, then curtain falls, you win. I am a nutcase. But take heart in what you find right and what you find wrong. Place yourself in my tangled shoes. And question yourself. Have I ever been wrong when it is permitted to be? You know what I mean.

Some Japanese food for thought. Hmm, tangy. Goodnight, smart people.

Hey ho.

I just got back from daddy o's *reclines in chair*. The weather is gorgeous. The stereo is blasting bombastically beautiful pop-rock music (current track: The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian like you). And I feel so relaaaaxed.

Ok, it's 20 minutes to ten and I am as hungry as a pig. A fat one, like Putri. Thankfully, I have some taco shells left in the bread cabinet and some feta left in the fridge. Yeah, this is the life.

Watching Watchmen tomorrow (I hope, Sam?). Everybody be nice now.

Wednesday morning laughs.

I know it's really late (or really early, depending on how you're seeing it), but I seem to have developed a sudden and unexplainable longing to go swimming. In a huge swimming pool where I can do underwater backflips (yes I can). I know.

Tuesday was spruce up day (how gay is that I know). To quote someone who has been silently judging my looks since the dawn of 2009, "You have been looking more and more like a destitute Hong Kong hobo these past couple of weeks (sic)". Harsh. So, after a quick dash to the hairdresser's and what i'd like to call 'The Hair Store', its safe to say hobo me is gone, forever. That person better put me on the cover of People Magazine.

It's been a long time since i've used wax, oh, the stickiness.

Just got off chatting on IM. My cousins are just plain wacky. Especially the ones living on the other side of the world. Sighs and snorts. Okay, it pains me to say this (NOT), but I want Putri to die. Or at least snuff it right. Rest assured, Sam will continue to grieve for you until he finally comes to his senses and decides to marry someone more deserving of that buzz cut, and that would be me. (I feel your scorn)

This is how my nights have become. The shame.

So the remainder of what feels like a particularly bull week shall and by all means definitely will be spent in total seclusion (except for a couple of outings to the theatres and oversized bookstores). All of that, then it's off to Dad's for the weekend. Now that seems like a pretty good plan.

Someone kill that green gentleman, thanks.

Snigger dosage.

It is wonderful and intruiging yet so obviously natural why humans (and primates and rats and dogs, thanks for the correction, Maxxie boi) are the only animal species capable of laughter.

Even when there are constant problems occuring all around us - those said or unsaid, unheard of or imagined - laughter always brings us back to harsh reality: we don't actually have to feel this way. That said...

Here are some of the things that brought me back to reality:

Laughing my bootius maximus off during drama, with the assistance of Suma's trademark laughter.

Laughing myself to death for no reason at all with Kai, Haz, Ama, LR, Nice and Min during - well, a lot of times.

Laughing my boxers off at Putri, who thought that a piece of cloth tape she saw on the floor was a lizard.

Laughing at weird sounds made by our clique (and Chevady) during Model Making.

Laughing at coloured thingies put in a glass bowl (Kai, I don't know what to say, *faints*).

The best thing of all, laughing at myself. For inventing the rule that 14 divided by 2 is 7.5.

chuckles, and chokes.

Petered out.

As usual, I want to blog about every single thing that happened in my life yet lazy Susan keeps pulling me away. Sighs.

Today, I learnt that 'ergonomics' is a brand new synonym for 'ultimate boredom'. Talk about yawns. I practically slept throughout the entire lecture, and from what ive heard so did three-quarters of the class. Sighs. I really hate it when this happens. Virus analysis: D.S.S: Design Student Syndrome. Sighs. The symptoms: You sleep after 2 a.m. every night. Check. You can't sleep anytime before 2 a.m. every night. Check. You sigh a lot. Check. You feel like sleeping for long periods of time during classes. Check. You cringe in fear when you hear the word 'Subrina'. Checkmate.

(If there are more symptoms do alert me, Dr. Tan, ASAP). To keep it short and sweet, I am tired. T-I-R-D'. Kai, tell me a joke about Joon Kiat, the one that killed me just now.

Oh yawns, save me my queen. I know you all are tired too, I hear your sighs, heck, I even dream about sighing. Sighs. Just keep swimming...

10 things you don't know about me.

Prepare thyself. You'll never look at me the same way again.

10. I once ate a cockroach nymph which hid in my daily chili.

9. When I was a kid, I thought Durex's condoms were really exotic sweets.

8. I had a major crush on Avril Lavigne when she first broke into the music scene with 'Sk8ter Boi'. I used to imagine I was the skater boy and she was the girl I used to know.

7. I don't have a bin in my name, as I have a surname.

6. My second name, Haslam, is actually an English name, not a malay one.

5. I think people with messy hair are sexy.

4. I watch Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends every single day at 1 a.m.

3. I have Placebo, John Mayer, Britney Spears, and Mozart all together in one music playlist.

2. My whole family calls me Bibong (russian slang for 'son').

1. I am mortally afraid of the sound of people fighting.

p.s. By the way, Putri is a cow tagboard flooder.

Crawl away.

I hate it the way ants come crawling into your favourite grape kool-aid every now and then. They tell you that they're hardworking, loving, and even funny (Antz, A Bugs Life), but I see right through them. What they are, are irritating, lame, and usless black bozos that just want to win everything and ruin your life.

Prologue over, for now.

Let's see, Thursday, (after Typography, where we got new assignments to do) I finally had a chance to grab a much awaited lasting peek at the ever so appraised Sunplaza Mall. Then we all went to shop and eat at Causeway Point for awhile before Woo's fun Model Making class, where we learnt how to make boxes. Trust me, it is actually a very rewarding and pleasing task. Drama on Thursday was less violent than usual, we had a go at practicing our characterization instead of all the 'physical' scenes, if you know what I mean.

And thank you for the awesome notebook, LR and Haz. Another one for my library! Haha.

Friday was a drag, though in a fun way (no, not drag queen, Amin). The new assignment for Studio Project is actually quite interesting. After a short lunch break, we got our butts down to LTQ9 for Design History. It was bearable, but only because I had like eight hours of sleep the night (and day) before. No drama, so Ama and me had a chance to ciao in the sun, for what seemed like years, hahaha.

I miss my favourite people in the world. The ones that make you laugh for a solid reason. Please, save me from this bad disaster movie, Putri, hahaha.

p.s. Drama in a few hours, big show ahead.

New leaf.

Okay. So much has happened it's crazy to leave out all the important bits. Basically, yeah, with the new school semester, comes the same old brand-new changes to life, once again.

I crashed at Dad's apartment right before school started. It was great seeing him again for the first time in a long while. I miss all the phoned dinners, the hi-fi, and everything else associated with Dad. Monday was the first time I went to school from Dad's (and yeah, the NS-MRT line is indeed longer, so congratulations, whoever that person was who debated with me me on this topic, =).

School is....well, read the previous post.

Drama is in full swing as well. There's been rehearsals every evening now. I really like our Halloween night play. Yes, it is challenging, and yes, it takes time, but its something I like, and something I want to put my effort in. Our play is awesome. It is very vampirey, and of course, I like vampirey stuff (except for pontianaks, oh god im alone now).

Yes, I am alone. At home. I guess I don't have to explain why, it's always that way with me, huh? So anyways...

Busy me is something that I like. When I have an agenda, I get into full gear. That's why I look forward to coming to school and drama everyday. Though I miss my old lazy self (it's still there I tell you), this new leaf is definitely greener than the ones on the other side.

Uhmmm, don't ask. Back to Friday...

Today was straightforward. Showed up late for the Studio Project project meeting (though not because of what you think). Had Design History at 3, 'twas funny how we chose our groups, haha. Went to Art Friend Takashimaya with VCers. Stocked up on the usual supplies, and new stuff we needed for the new projects. Ate with LR and Haz (for awhile) at KFC, because I hadn't had a bite in one whole day, then after that went visiting, the usual.

Drama later at 9, we gotta' squeeze everything in (rehearsals, fight scenes) before Anjana sees our final full run-through. I pray I wake up on time.

And I do hope people out there continue to stay nice (if not look nice) and hold on, cos' it'll make the world a better place. Okay, whats a --wan post without a mention of something food-related at the end?

I am hungry, and later I am goin to cook something big. There it is. Ciao!

< Dead poetic >

Ohayou people (that means good morning, smell my breath in japanese). I couln't sleep after having my pre-dawn meal (I had microwave pizza, too lazy to cook) so I rummaged through some of my old stuff, and found lots of memories...And my old primary school 'diary', with lots of 'really nice' poems in them written by my dear pre-pubescent friends. Now heres a question.

How long has it been since youve heard one of these?:

Me no money me no care,
Me go marry a millionaire,
If he dies, me no cry,
Me go marry a handsome guy

Yes, I guess girls were shallow and greedy back in grade school as well.

1,2,3,
3,2,1,
Hope you go to EM1

Wow, how creative, they rhymed 1 with 1...

Birds fly high,
Hard to catch
Friends like you,
Hard to forget

This one deserves the 'Most Cliche Poem You Have Ever Laid Your Eyes On' Award.
Then there are some smarties out there who wanna' act smarty:

Birds fly high,
Hard to catch
Don't be silly,
Use a net

Yes, how silly.

Wish you good,
Wish you luck,
Wish you born a baby duck

Now THATS real motivation.

Here here, Pearly from Sec 1 wrote this:

Bells are ringing,
Birds are chirping
I am waiting,
For your wedding

If you are ever reading this Pearly, I hope you've prepared for a very long wait...
And last but not least, my all time favourite:

Satu titik,
Dua comma,
Hazwan cantik,
Siapa punya?

Its a nice fact to add that the girl who wrote this dumped me weeks after writing this.

There are many more 'poems' but I simply can't muster up enough effort to type em' up here.
God save the queen. Have you heard of any interesting ones recently?

< So long >

Yawns i'm dead tired. Just watched The Happening by M. Knight SHYmalan (shut up estupido). Urm, well, yeah, that guy with one good movie and like 5 crappy ones. God, can't believe he's gonna' be directing the Avatar trilogy.

Anyways I am alone at home once more, mom is staying with gramps for awhile. Dad's going off somewhere, I forgot to ask him where exactly. Tri is going backpacking in New Zealand, how awsome is that? Somewhat unwise being the fasting month and all but, heck, i'd go if given the opportunity. Oh yah Eunice is going to Australia too, hope she brings me back a hot aussie beach bum chick for my birthday present.

I wish you all safe trips, and yes of course buy me lots of souvenirs. I hope I can eat octopus balls in the near future.

< Fast >

I can't believe one whole year has passed since..last year (yes, it's true). Fasting is fun, cool but of course, beneficial in many ways. I like staying at home alone not being able to eat anything. These past few days i've been doing stuff I couldn't have done while not fasting (due to my insatiable desire to munch and chew every few seconds).

I've been practicing on the keyboard more, and I think i've nailed Satie's Gymnopedie. And i've been creating lots and lots of new melodies that would be great for sad plays and funerals. So anyone, um, directing sad plays or have people dying can contact me.

I should be using this time to expand my creative juices like what Ama and Lirong did with Photoshop and painting her bird respectively. But I just feel so lazy. By the way, WHEN ARE WE GOING ICE SKATING?!? I wanna' show off my spin to everyone.

Anyways, tomorrow I gotta' meet July and get her specs collected. Hope they give us a really nice case.. And the cousins are having their get together at gramps place in the afternoon too. Probably cooking stuff. Haha.

Ok, I wanna' catch up on my anime now (I've been watching old episodes of long time favs' GTO, Magic Knight Rayearth and Cardcaptor Sakura (SHUT UP)).

And I am feeling alright for those who care, just a bit nostalgic. Daijobu!
