Le Huitieme Jour, The Eighth day. This movie is really good! Considering the fact that we stayed back on Wednesday night to watch this movie screening in school, totally worth it. It's basically a story how a man with Down's Syndrome and a divorced businessman coincidentally met and became good friends. Maman, c'est toi, la plus belle du monde Aucune autre à la ronde n'est plus jolie

Hello! My tuition kid postponed my tuition to an hour later so am here to steal some time to blog. If you're wondering, yes, I did go down to PS to see Lee Min Ho at Etude House. And if you've already known or read from the news, yes, he didn't turn up! Why? Because it was uber friggin' crowded to the max, and due to security reasons he couldn't come in. It was seriously crowded, like the whole of B1 level was filled and there were so many other people on every other level too! God. But isn't it sad?! The ambassador of Etude House could not even enter the small little shop he was supposed go to. In the first place, they shouldn't even hold the event at Singapore freaking Plaza! So after several times they announced to the whole mob that the event was cancelled, people started to go off. At first many insisted on staying because they actually thought that LMH would still come once the crowd dissipates. But of course not. So they decided to give out free goodi...

I am actually keen to blog, especially on my weekend experiences, but I need my sleep real soon. It's Week 11, time is catching up on all of us, and there's still millions of things that need to be done. So ciao for now. I need the bed more than the laptop. Another day then! I hope these days have been going well for all (:

Do you know where your heart is? Do you think you can find it? Did you trade it for something, somewhere? Better just to have it Do you know where your love is? Do you think that you lost it? You felt it so strong but nothing's Turned out how you want it Well bless my soul You're a lonely soul Cause you won't let go Of anything you hold Do you know what your fate is? And are you trying to shake it? You're doing your best and You're best, look You're praying that you'll make it Do you know where the end is? Do you think you can see it? Until you get there Go on Go ahead and scream it Just say. Say all I need is the air I breathe And a place to rest my head Do you think you can find it? Better than you have it?

Music is the easiest time travel "machine" you can ever find. You don't even need a figment of your imagination to fantasize the time travel machines created by sci-fi books. It's like the effect of rewinding a tape and pressing play, you're suddenly in a place you've seen before and then you connect back with what you used to remember. You gather memories from the past, be it good or bad and you cannot deny the power of music. The potential of it creating some magical connection to a certain event at a particular point in time, and years later, still carries that particular episode. I've been listening to some old hits while my player is being played at random, like: Elevator - Hot Hot Heat Buried Myself Alive - The Used Sway - Bic Runga Everywhere - Michelle Branch Stay - Goong Soundtrack Running Away - Hoobastank Tiger Lily - Matchbook Romance I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys Fly Away - Corrinne May Calling You - Blue October All Downhill From Here ...

Ok I'm seated at some corner in the computers in the school library so I'm not overly conscious of people seeing that I'm blogging instead of doing school-related things. Is 15 minutes till french lecture. Just had a good BK meal while catching up with fadiah (love talking to her!). Just ended abnormal psych mid-term test, and I really have no comments about it though it's do-able but am uncertain of answers. Which is why MCQs are bad, and I abhor negative-making scheme. Since I don't check my nus email very often, I just saw this email about local exchange to SMU/NTU and I'm very much interested to go to either universities during year 3 semester 1! It's not as costly as overseas exchange although experiences will be limited since I'm still in the island of Singapore. But I really wanna know how it feels like to be in other schools, particularly SMU. Anyway, I foresee that the next 3 days will be busy for me since I've a 2000-words paper to write be...

I am exhibiting symptoms of stress similar to those when I was studying crazily for PL1101E. This sucks. The fact that tomorrow's paper is 50 MCQs is fine, but the fact that NINE chapters with at least 50 pages per chapter being tested is NOT fine. Ok, I can't do this! And on this other thing, I should stop feeling about emo about it :(

Ah, this is just an illustration of the upcoming gibberish you'll soon be reading. Funny huh? But it's true, isn't it? NOT specifically the examples up there, but more of the general idea of it. Of course amongst us all, there will be freaks. And of course, there will be the geniuses, the bitches, the geeks, the homosexuals, the delinquents, the gifted, the mentally unsound, the pretty, the ugly, the ordinary, and whatnots. We cannot expect each and every single homosapiens around to be as normal as your own standard of norm. And similarly, we cannot expect our standards to integrate into one to be called for a mutual consensus. In every single matter possible, there must be a balance striked. And there must be, in every society as well. It works just like a bell-shaped curve. This natural scientific invisible curve is how our society is based on. And perhaps that's how the hierarchy of things came about. The socially undesirable minority to be treated like dirt and ost...

Trust me, this movie's great! Heart-warming, inspirational, hilarious. I love the lines, the creativity, the soundtrack. And most of all, I love how the ending is not typical at all. This movie is the most realistic thing ever (:

The Nicest Thing - Kate Nash All I know is that you're so nice You're the nicest thing I've seen I wish that we could give it a go See if we could be something I wish I was your favourite girl I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style I wish you couldn't figure me out But you always wanna know what I was about I wish you'd hold my hand When I was upset I wish you'd never forget The look on my face when we first met I wish you had a favourite beauty spot That you loved secretly 'Cause it was on a hidden bit That nobody else could see Basically, I wish that you loved me I wish that you needed me I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, Actually I meant three I wish that without me your heart would break I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake I wish that without me you couldn't eat I wish I wa...

I had this discussion/conversation with a friend yesterday about how we tend to appear strong although you know that somewhere deep down inside, there is this strong temptation to crumble down and let the weakness overcome you. Somehow, I cannot deny this viewpoint because it's true. Some of us choose not to admit defeat, because when we resist surrender, it's a sign that you're strong. Because the fact that you don't let the weakness overpower you, you're strong. Because when you admit defeat, it's the easiest route you take, and you perceive this as a sign of weakness. Because this, is our defense system. You know what's the beauty of this struggle? You remove this facade and show yourself only to the people who means the most to you. And that's when you reveal every inch of your weakness. The most beautiful thing is to make the other persons know how much they mean to you while at the end of the day, you feel a million times better just by exposing yo...

BTW PEOPLE, THEY UN-SUSPENDED MY TWITTER ACCOUNT SO PLEASE ADD ME! (:

And if you look a little closer, you'll see that if a person believes that life is terrible, they’ll constantly look for proof of this, to confirm their view of the world. They’ll find quotes and situations and events in their life and magnify them a hundred times. If a person believes that life is wonderful, they’ll look for the corresponding signage and behave in a similar manner to the previous person with their view of the world. Often, this is the same person on different days of the week. Source: I Wrote This For You

More often than not, I'll get responses like; "So you can read my mind!" "Haha you're going to be around crazy people" This is after having learnt I major in Psychology. I'd like to address two major misconceptions about it (: 1) We cannot read your minds. Simply because we are not psychics (and also because I'm only a student-human HAHA). Although the two share a common root word here 'psych' but no, we really cannot read your minds. Maybe to twist this a little bit, yes, we can infer what MIGHT be on your mind based on your behaviour, your thoughts (when you express them verbally), your speech, your personality. In a nutshell, psychologists exist to understand the complexity of human behaviour and mental processes. And to accomplish this, they use various means to comprehend such a complex task through interviews, consultation, clinical means and so on. These require a lot of "prying" which allows them to arrive to certain "c...

Seth: Why do people cry? Maggie: What do you mean? Seth: I mean, what happens physically? Maggie: Well umm, tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye and when you have an emotion, they overreact and create tears. Seth: Why? Why do they overreact? Maggie: [pause] I don't know. Seth: Maybe... maybe emotion becomes so intense your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful... and your body weeps. - Seth: What's that like? What's it taste like? Describe it like Hemingway. Maggie: Well, it tastes like a pear. You don't know what a pear tastes like? Seth: I don't know what a pear tastes like to you. Maggie: Sweet, juicy, soft on your tongue, grainy like a sugary sand that dissolves in your mouth. How's that? Seth: It's perfect. -

There's this guy who happens to be in the same stats and developmental psych tutorial as me, and we knew each other through those classes. So after our class yesterday, we happened to board the same bus, happened to go to the same place, and happened to need to deposit money as well. I brought half of my wad of notes from money I collected from Hari Raya and the money I received from tuition too. Anyway, thankfully for the guy, he told me that the machine does not accept 5-dollar, and 2-dollar notes and MAJORITY of the thick wad of notes I brought were. Can you imagine how stupid I would look if I were to put the whole wad of notes there and they would all be rejected? And I had FORGOTTEN about it, so dumb please. You know, families should give you $10 notes instead of $2s (HAHA). So geez, I only managed to bank in abit only. After everything, the guy had to go for his taekwondo classes and I'm meeting Qeen, AND after spoken about exams, exchange programmes, past schools, bad ...

Strange activity?! Holy cows right! I joined Twitter earlier this year because of Ellen Degeneres LOL! But as you can see from above, my activity level in twitter is zilch and I don't tweet. I think I only tweet-ed twice (I don't know why they are showing '0's up there) and I followed several people before. And how can because of the void in my twitter they suspended my account?! Reason why I'd like to tweet now is because some of my friends have been asking for my twitter, and I learn that it has been increasingly popular. Haha, oh wells, I'll probably create another! This is not very good though. Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Blogger, FML, Lj, YouTube. Taking a toll in my life! My family is uproariously laughing over Mr Bean series right now. The bizarre thing is, we all have watched Mr Bean series like millions of time in our whole life, but why is that we still find it funny and laugh? Although you anticipate what's coming from the series, you inevitably la...
