I have four more posters to add to my collection: 2 more Audrey Hepburns, one Charlie Chaplin (from The Kid <3) and a Chris Consani Legendary Crossroads poster.
When I saw the Legendary Crossroads poster I had no problem identifying Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart (still can't find Casablanca D:)... but what was James Franco doing in that poster?! So I showed it to mum who said that it was James Dean ._.
Eh. They look damn alike okay. Time to hunt for Rebel Without A Cause!

I can't stand branded handbags with monograms.
Okay la Chee Weng scolded me that the whole point of ranting about handbags with monograms was lost because I said that I used them for the quality. Then he started complaining that the things I tell him always have no point in them.
Wtf. 80% of the stuff I tell him got no point wan. I tell him just about whatever I saw/heard/learned when he's not around me... no point in them wan. I just want him to know!!! Cis. He used to layan them but now he's just like "and your point is......?" T_T
I want original bossa nova albums.

On paper things can be so orderly, yet my head is in such a mess now.
 From Romel's FB. Inane things like this can be so meaninglessly pointlessly wasteful with uncountable flushing of the toilet due to incredibly small bladder, yet somewhat mind occupying to keep the demons away. There goes my plan for a greener lifestyle. In a room where everybody was rolling around with laughter, I kept my smile on my face wondering what was really so funny about the moment. If everyone in the room is shaking with laughter and I was the only one pondering its reason, does that mean there is something wrong with me?

It was just a few days ago that I told Chee Weng that I have added Mr Mac on Facebook. We talked about his days in ICPU and reminisced his classes.
Today I logged into Facebook and discovered the shocking news of his death.
Mr William McNamara taught me Business Leadership in ICPU. Because ours was the last period of the day in the intensive 8am-5pm schedule of the March Intake, a lot of us were always drowsy in his class but he never made a fuss out of it because he knew how exhausted we were after an entire day of classes. A few of us were plain incorrigible monkeys, but he never attempted to embarrass any of us students in front of others. On our lucky days he shared Bob Dylan on Youtube, and chocolates (he was convinced hat nothing motivates Malaysian students more than chocolates). I remember building bridges out of straws, Jeopardy, opening an imaginary bakery, and his love for trivia, history and politics. Exams weren't the main point of his teaching - we had several ways of calculating our marks and he used different ones for different students to help students to achieve their full potential. Our lessons were beyond textbooks - shaping us into leaders and helping us achieve our goals. It was him who reignited my love for learning - learning anything, and everything.
Leaving ICPU didn't mean that was the end of our journey as teacher and student. He once said, "once my student, always my student. You cannot run away from me". And he was true to his words - he worked hard to help students who are futhering their studies in Canada to stay connected, and offered help for enrolment, accomodation, and if you have a problem with not having taken ENG4U he was the man to look for.
One semester was too short a time for knowing Mr Mac, but it was greatly treasured. Mr Mac is one of the most inspiring and caring teacher I've ever had, and I'm proud to have been his student.

Human's inability to be satisfied is such a terrible thing - almost scary.
I'm taking every thing bad as challenges and opportunities. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop complaining.
It's funny how some people do things for the sake of it - "we're having an intellectual talk now, look at how smart we are!" And then proceed to think that they are above everyone else.
I'm still secretly moping over my Rethoric summary result.
I like being busy. I have to be busy to keep myself safe. I love my friends who understand this.
My grandmother cooked four dishes today, and they are all my favourites.
I don't know how to be manipulative. Everything doesn't need to have a reason behind it. I detest manipulative people more than ants.
I know for a fact that two people who are extremely alike will not be good friends. It may seem like a perfect match, but these people hate each other for the qualities that are so dominant in their own hearts.
I also think that it is important for these people to stay together - seeing yourself in another allows you to see what others see in you, and that allows plenty of space for correction and revision. Being proud of what you are isn't always good.
And that.. is one of the most important thing I've learnt from Chee Weng.

Hello! I know of a clown... and she's really amusing to watch. :D I never condone gossips, but this is too close to home, you have to let me be human once in a while too! On another note, offshore courses are so restricted I don't think it really allows us students perform our best. Also, unless you are a close acquaintance, please be aware that I hate people who edit my works like it's their own, I hate last minute notices and I hate wasting time kthx. Not being snobby, just informing. Here are some pictures... to delay doing my Computer journal juuust a little :) May 17th... this was the night where the alcohol went up to my head so fast I wasn't even afraid to light the lighter (for those who don't know I hate fires yala lame la) Gin's cam:  Fugz  One day I'll know how to operate vidcameras and their extensions like that... one day u_u  Corey & Gin. I only realised Corey has a dimple when I saw the pictures...  Nana & Corey  TJ, Otto, Azrin, Corey and random girl  Otto, TJ, Azrin, Corey, Gin, 3 quarters of Theodore's face.  Look, Gin can do the Japanese Finger wtf His cam - bie you never give me your watermark so this is what I have...:  Because the white man must always be the tallest.  This is why I think skeletal arms are ugly.  Guess what happened when I was trying to take this picture?  Guys, please don't do that to me without warning me first... I have issues with heights and it's not funny D:

Distractions...  It's DAMN cute okay. From the music to the sound effects to the characters to everything lah. Never fail to make me smile or laugh!  I'm still new in this but wtf it's quite addictive also. Now when I listen to music I think in Audiosurf terms - "would this make a good game in Audiosurf?"

What do you call a banana that fell down the stairs? An aubergine. Oh, the things I hear sometimes. I'm usually pretty up to date with my Computer journals, but I'm lagging very much behind the weeks now. I don't like doing them journals. I want to play Plants Vs Zombies. And the spaceship game. And Tap Tap. These few weeks had been whirling around me like madness, I barely have the time to breath and stop. This reminds me of a past - something that I don't want repeated, but is perhaps happening anyway. Life is too short! I wonder how did my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother celebrate her 16th birthday? Pictures from Gin's cam, this was exactly a month ago. Some of them are quite dark but I am too lazy to fix them.  Patrick Grove's "Party Like A Rockstar" party. I may have crashed the party uninvited, but at least I was dressed for the occasion.  Gin took several shots but of course I uploaded only the most gaya one. If you like to see my ugly pictures you can check out my tagged pictures in FB. u_u    Face full of teeth.  (Look Ing, drunk eyes!) Some things I always look forward to. Happy news or sad remembrance it's all soft spoken into the dark as I stubbornly force you to share a pillow even though I have my own on my side. A lot of times there were moments when you murmur in your sleepy stupor words of love - some of which you totally weren't aware of at all, who knew sleep talks could be romantic? And when you've been pulled down by sandman, early morning get ups and alcohol, I love you would be the last thing I expect to hear when I climbed into bed and accidentally woke you up.

Who cares about Anti-Anti Social 2009? It's time for Resolution Gain Weight 2009! Target: 6kg. Timeline unknown yet, but whatever. Ya I give up. I am quiet and anti-social so there. I finally found & bought the Les Choristes DVD I am so proud of myself  Before I had my braces I had a nice sharp chin and now the braces have changed my jawline and my chin is not nice and sharp anymore bai. Oh and my friends laughed at me when I spoke Malay bai.
