OK, so yesterday we celebrated Ken Hon's birthday. We were supposed to meet at Sunway Pyramid at 11.30am, but the others got there first (Ken Hon fetched them...=_="). They were still arguing over where to eat when we met up. I thought we were going to Secret Recipe, but then they had decided not to. Due to Birthday Boy's unwillingness to pick a place to eat, they keep on arguing until finally we just walked to KFC. When we passed Pizza Hut, I said "Hey want t eat here or not?" Problem settled. We went in for lunch.

Next up was pool/bowling. We had to go bowling, due to a snooker tournament going on. We played 2 games, with me winning the first and Ken Hon winning the second. Wei Vern and Kuan Leong were so surprised...

Then we went to Secret Recipe, where we stared at the cakes.



Ken Hon making a wish (looks like a small kid!!)

mmm...Mud cake



If I had to rate all the movies I watched this year, then it would look like this:

5. Shrek 3 - This just wastes your money. Seriously. Well, unless you are an 8-year-old kid...
4. Fantastic Four 2 - Not quite too bad...
3. Pirates of the Carribean 3 - All hype and no plot. Only good thing is Jack Sparrow aka Johnny Depp.
2. Wild Hogs - Funny!
1. Transformers - Fast-paced action, rather good storyline, funny and interesting!!

Yes!!! Transformers came out on Thursday, and everybody was waiting to watch it, it seems. On Friday many of my cmates were discussing about watching it. Bay's group had 26 ppl (including yours truly) and I also saw some of my ex-classmates and their friends! Talk about the most popular non-sequel movie of the year!

AND it certainly lived up to it's hype.

I must admit, I miss seeing full-blown action on the screens. The last decent action movie I saw was Deja Vu last year, but it didn't have much action at all. And Transformers is FUNNY. In my book, funny is good. Very good.

So yesterday, my plot sprang into action. The whole week after that PTM debacle I was the good, studious girl who could do no wrong. Then yesterday (yes, yesterday) I called my mom from college asking for permission to go out (the less time given to her to think over it, the better). Of course my psychoanalysis worked and I got the permission!!! Then it was off to Pyramid for me!!!!

As usual, I was in Bay's group again. This time round though I saw alot more of my schoolmates ( Chun Hon, Logan and Wai Chien). And also I saw Bryan and Dham, waiting for the 5pm movie (I watched the 3.30pm one).

The movie ended at 6pm, after which I went home. Loh and I took the M99. It was one of those mini-buses that looked like it was in service 30 years ago. There was barely any seating space, much less standing room. Why is Metrobus so reliable (much more reliable than RapidKL) but the buses are so horrible?? Those buses look like they can break down at any time!!!!! Only thing good is that they get you to your destination (RKL just service some areas).

So now, for today's plan: celebrate Ken Hon's birthday!!!

If I can get out of the house, that is.

THIS IS WHAT I DID TODAY
WITH THIS GUY.

In case you didn't know, this is Kenny.
Yay! After like one month, I managed to play p**l again!!! LOL
Of course I didn't win. That credit all belongs to Kenny, who won EVERY single game. But I did manage to improve my shots :D So now at least I don't play like a n00b.

Got my results today. I soo gonna DIE. Please help to contribute to my tombstone fund. Thank you.

I was on the bus today, going home, when a old lady came into the bus. She sat across the aisle from me. The bus-money collector came to collect our fare. Now, Metrobus charge us RM0.90 one way, and usually I'd pay in RM1 notes. When I gave my RM1 today, the bus collector asked "Ada sepuluh sen tak?" I shook my head. Then he turned to collect the fare from the old lady. He asked her the same question. She look at him bewildered. My sixth sense made me take my purse out and dig out 10 sens to give the bus collector. In return he gave me 20sens change and gave the old lady my 10sens. As he left, he said loudly (I could hear him over my mp4) "lu orang tua tak boleh dengar lagi."!!!! Whatever happened to 'respect the old"??? He was so rude to say that to the old lady! All I could do was to give an apologetic smile to the old lady. No wonder we Malaysians are so rude, if we can't even be courteous to old folks. We are spoiling the image of our country, what with some taxi drivers cheating foreigners and rude youngsters despoiling the nature. Change your attitudes!! This is Visit Malaysia Year 2007, not Rosak Image Malaysia Year 2007!!! No amount of advertising can help us if we negate the beautiful image of Malaysia that the government puts out. When I was in Spain, many of the people I know were very interested in Malaysia, even though they had never heard of the country before I told them about it. But it is a sad thing that behind the innocent picture they have in their mind there lurks a morass of garbage.

No pictures today. I see that my Mandelbrot and Julia pictures have mysteriously disappeared...
Tomorrow I have no English and LAN. So I have...4 hours break. Kinda tiresome, actually. All I can do is to go online and study my Specialist Maths (exam @ 1200hours). I want to play pool but I can't. Ah, what a boring life~

Perhaps when I'm in the mood I will expound another one of my theories again. For now, it's hasta luego.

Double period of Specialist Mathematics today.









Mandelbrot and Julia sets
Today in class we continued our study on iterations. Yesterday we studies the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Apparently, Mandelbrot discovered that some iterations (found, not discovered!!! according to Mr Woon) create a pattern. And Julia sets refer to symmetrical patterns created when you iterate with a fixed z nought. Confused? So am I. Iterations are used to calculate patterns in nature and used in designing graphics as well as...making music?
So what am I doing taking Specialist Maths when I'm not even a Bio/Chem/Physics or Graphics student? (FYI, Business student with Spec Maths) I was even told not to take it by the college counselor as I'm not a Chinese ed student (Chinese ed students are way too good in maths). So all that's left to blame it on is interest. And the fact that I didn't want to take Psychology or Law (the other options). So now I better study my Mandelbrot.

In the beginning, there was two TARTS
However, as they soon found out, they were doomed to have a very short life indeed.
One by one these TARTS were eaten. Where there was TWO, one remained. Where there was ONE, remains NONE.
~The End~

Today my class had a 3 hour break. Well, 3 straight hours for the Psychology students, and a 2 hour and one hour break for us Spec Math'ers. During the first break I holed up in the library, until I got hungry and bought 2 scrumptious egg tarts (and ate it during Spec Maths). Then I skipped lunch :)

College is quiet again. Have I mentioned how much I hate a quiet campus????

Friday, June 15, 2007

Ah~
That foreboding prophecy I made in my post didn't come true at all!!! So glad! Today during LAN I asked almost all my classmates to go and watch a movie in Pyramid today. Too bad, I asked too late, and they all have plans d, so in the end only me and Mae Yee went.
Shrek 3... We got tickets for 3pm show. I thought it would be good, since Shrek 1 and 2 was really funny...but it's a total failure... Pirates 3 wasn't that nice either, but it was way better than Shrek 3 at least... Shrek 3 totally suck. Watch out for the lame jokes.

After Shrek 3 my friend wanted to jalan-jalan before taking the bus and train home, so she told me to leave her and join Bay's group. Went to the bowling center, saw Ting Yu's class. Then Bay's group walked in. Bay's group today consists of: Bay, Loh, and 3 girls I didn't know. Then 3 more guys joined. Since Bay changed his mind and don't want to go bowling we lepaked at A&W until 5.40pm. Then we went in the cinema (walau, first time I do movie marathon) and saw Fantastic 4. Before that was the usual advertisements and future movie screenings. The Transformers' trailer was pretty cool. But I'm still undecided whether to watch it or not. Depends whether anybody else wants to make a group to see it.

Fantastic 4 was so cool. It managed to make me forget the horror titled Shrek 3. The movie was really sweet! Much more funny than Shrek 3.
We ate at Nando's later...that's where I got to know the girls better :P

At Nando's

By then it was 9pm, and because of the other girls' curfew they had to go home, so we walked them to their car. Then the three of us (Bay, Loh, me) waited for my parents to come and for Bay's bus. Kesian Bay got to wait alone as the bus took a long time to come...

Overall today was an interesting day... Got to make new friends and catch up with the old ones... Now I realise going out with guys is much more interesting than going out with girls... since guys got alot of things to say and are more sporting xP.

Thursday, June 14, 2007

I'm not the kind of person to talk alot. With my friends of course I do talk alot (especially nonsense) but with strangers and adults I'm very quiet. LOL It's like my genes are battling each other, with my dad's genes fighting for silence and my mom's genes fighting for me to chatter more.

As a kid I used to read alot, so while my grammar and vocabulary improved, my pronunciation did not. I can still write better than I can talk. I pronounce certain words wrongly, and most of the time I don't think before I talk. Whenever I attempt to speak in Chinese my pronunciation is all wrong... which is very bad, as my whole sentence can get twisted around :( Not to mention that my voice is terrible for singing (I sound like a frog?). And in really sticky situations I tend to clam up and only talk when I have something of worth to say.

Wa...! My classmates treat me like a dictionary-cum-encyclopedia!!! Jia Yi always asks me the meaning of certain English words, Yew Wai always ask me how to do the class assignments and Ging is always lost!!! Not to mention 1/4 of my cmates have low self-esteem, so I always have to cheer them up. And also the female cmates are really fussy when it comes to assignments. Everything must be perfect (ikut cakap cikgu) and problem-less.

On another note, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is out today!!! Another show to see, although I'm more keen on Shrek 3. Today I asked some of my cmates to go to Pyramid with me 2moro to watch Shrek/F4. Guess what they say?

Reasons given by E4 girls (pick one):
1. Go home/stay back and study
2. Go back HOME (their weekend is spend in Seremban?)

What lah! Watch movie and have lunch takes like 3 hours only, then they have 2 days to do their hw!!! Not to mention that we handed up all our major assignments d (Draft essay, acc assignment). But no, these girls are really studious. And no use asking the guys because they're going to play futsal with our mentor on Friday. Now you know why I'm bored. Guess I'll have to pull up all my courage to take the bus to Pyramid/Summit to watch movie... ALONE!!! Pray that I don't chicken out, please!!! Because actually underneath I'm just a very timid girl...

Issue analysis starts this week. Of course I don't have it until next week xP because my name is 3/4 down the namelist. That's one thing good about having a name that starts with R. Another good thing is that Regina is not a common name, therefore I am special!!!. Unfortunately there are side-effects to having a name like Regina. When I was a small kid, many of my creative classmates could find rhymes to my name. So I ended up getting called, of all things, Ribena, Veggie, and some others. And in college, since I share the same LAN class with the E5 Legal Studies class, one of my aspiring lawyer friends would go "Oh, Queen!" whenever she sees me. (Since Regina is queen in Latin and in British courts they use Regina to represent the government, e.g. Regina vs Conman Co.)

Last year I developed a naming theory. The theory was that people tend to shorten their friends' names to 2 syllables or less. Of course this theory only applies if a) you are friends b) the person's name is at least 3 syllables. I thought it up when I found myself and my friends using short-form names for others. Like me calling Stephanie Steph, Wei Vern Vern, Kein Yip Loh and Helena Lena. And my friends shorten my name too, of course.
Regina
Ji Yung => Reggie
Steph & Vern => Reg
And, sometimes, some call me Gina. It's just so easy to lose the Re-, isn't it?
This does not apply to my cousin Helena, who calls me Mei.

There are others too, who tend to have their names shortened. Like Janarthan (Janar) and Kumaresh (Kumar) and Vern Ming (the class calls him Ming, not to be confused with Ming Chin, please).

If you are interested in knowing the meaning of your names, try this websites:
http://www.behindthename.com & http://www.zelo.com/firstnames/index.asp
English names only please!!! Chinese names are much more complicated since Chinese is a tonal language.

History of Catalunya - got it from the library

Catalan is the official language in Catalonia. About 7 million people speak Catalan, which is kind of like a cross between French and Spanish. Now if you look at the map, Catalonia (or Catalunya) is actually the on east coast of Spain. Even though Spanish (Espanol) is officially Spain's language, to the people of Catalonia Catalan is their main tongue, followed by Spanish, and then French. They are very proud of their 'country' and you could actually offend them by saying that Catalonia is Spain!!! Catalonia's capital is Barcelona.

Spanish, or Castellano is Spain's main language. It is spoken by more than 1 billion people worldwide. Spain was once ruled by the dictator, Franco, however now it has reverted back to become a constitutional monarchy, just like Malaysia.

The Spanish people (including the Catalonians) practice a dual-name system, whereby the offspring carries both the mother's and the father's family name.
For example:
Father: Enric Casas y Bardolet
Mother: Angels Arrufat y Dalmau
Children: Nuria Casas y Arrufat, Clara Casas y Arrufat

y means and in English. So as you can see, the child will take on the father's family name followed by the mother's.

Dictionary:
(
Red for Spanish, Green for Catalan)
Hello:
Hola, Hola
Good morning: Buenas dias, Bon dia
Good night: Buenas noches, Bon nuit
Good bye: Adios, Adeu
Thank you: Gracias, Gracie, Merci
Please: Por favor, Si us plau
College started today!!!
Like every other day the stupid T523 tak datang, and the Metro13 also never see. Go to college, picked up the free paper. Today suddenly the Accounts teacher give notes to photostat. Luckily I got my dad to give me 1/3 of my allowance today (My parents forgot to give me this month's allowance >.<) so I managed to photostat the notes for the class... And now I just realised I forgot to drop off the new Econs notes at the photostat shop.... my mind is really going down the drain...

Handed up the essay drafts, done my Malaysian Studies exam. Why do we have to stay back until 5 to do it??? Not enough that we have classes from 8 to 4... not to mention that we still have to adjust back to college hours... (nearly zzzz in class...that's me. Voted Jigglypuff's victim last year)

Really tired. And HUNGRY.

My uncle.
In an ad.
No way!!!!!
Now I know how much advertisers cheat us consumers though. They faked my uncle's age. Although he DOES look good for his age...

The college has been super quiet for the last two weeks, and it will be super quiet for the next three weeks. Reason? The SAM students had their holidays, and next up is the ICPU and the CAL students. That sux. College should always be full of people, IMHO. Besides, with all this students having their holidays, when will the Dance club start? Geez...

My uncle is coming down next week. Yes!! The same uncle as pictured above. My mom wants him to come over to our place for a night (though in my opinion, he might not). My dad said why not bring him over to play snooker in Summit? I cheered inwardly at that. Then I realized that I'm a super sucky player, and to play with a pro like him is... like making a fool of myself. T.T

Still haven't finish my essay. Yes, my darling 2000-word-essay-due-on-Monday-or-I'll-forfeit-20-marks-for-my-Mid-year. Why did I pick Women's Rights as my topic in the first place????!!
Also haven't studied for my Msian Studies final exam. I don't even have the notes in the first place. Too lazy to print and read. Now you know how lazy a pig I am.

I've been thinking: Since my friends say that I am crazy, I might as well keep it up. After all, once you are unoficially certified as crazy, nobody really cares about all the crazy things you will do. The worse they can say is that you're weird, or crazy or some other appellant they can think up. And the best thing is...You can do whatver you want!!!. That's a big enough incentive for me to remain crazy. Of course, if you don't care about some side-effects like people avoiding you, or something. I remember this part of a book, where the heroine hates her strict and rigid family. She finally gets the guts to rebel after finding out that she has one year left to live. At a family gathering, one of them asked 'what is the greatest happiness on earth?' Of course the members answered like 'the greatest happiness is to serve' and 'the geratest happiness is to have my dear dead brother back' and such. And guess what our 'crazy' heroine said? 'The greatest happiness is to sneeze in public." Cheers for her!!! And then later she ditches her family to be a housekeeper for a notorious family and then later married a social pariah. What I really liked about the book is that it teaches that life is too short to follow society's rules, or to do things you don't want. Better that you do the things that makes you happy, then even if you died tomorrow, you can say that 'I died happy'. That's what I'd like to do, if I have the guts to. Unfortunately I don't. Not now, at any rate. If not, there'll be things I want to do and things I want to say that will shock people. xP

The PM is getting married tomorrow. The news was so sudden. A lot of my friends commented that he was getting married really fast. After all, his wife had just died less than 2 years ago. Not to mention that he's old now. Reminds you of all the news in the papers about old horny men marrying young girls, doesn't it? But then again it's his life. What are we to say about him getting married? It's his choice, after all, and he certainly deserve a break after all he's done for the country.

My fav song now: God Knows. Wish I could sing it without breaking the windows >.<
I run with a parched heart
Sorry, I couldn't do anything
You won't even let me
Share our pain together
To live on without tarnish
I turn my back and head out without looking back
on the lonely rail
I'll follow you
No matter how agonizing it is;
even within the darkness of the world
You will certainly shine
I'll overcome the limit of the future
My weakness will not shatter my spirit
my way overlaps with yours
For the two of us, God bless...
This affection that warms when it reaches me
Melts reality and wanders
I don't need a reason for wanting to meet you
Just my overflowing feelings, Lovin' you
For now, I'll paint a beautiful dream
And chase after you
for your lonely heart
Stop it, it's not like you to lie
Look at my eyes and let's talk about our future
I am prepared
Even if the future is dark
I'll become stronger and I might be able to change my destiny
Though I want my wish to come true
Everything is God knows...
You are here, I am here
Everyone else has disappeared
While we paint the beauty of this fleeting dream
We trace out the lines of our scars
That's why I'll follow you
No matter how agonizing it is;
even within the darkness of the world
You will certainly shine
I'll overcome the limit of the future
My weakness will not shatter my spirit
my way overlaps with yours
For the two of us, God bless...

Have finished reading the manga Claymore!!! It's so cool.... There was non-stop action, character developement and suspense. Definitely the best manga I've read. My favourite characters are Ophelia and Teresa, even though Teresa's dead and Ophelia is psycho. Ophelia is unpredictable. Who could guess that she'd chop off the heroine's legs? O.o Now that I've read up to Vol 13 of Claymore (In 2 days!! Woot), I have to wait until more Claymore gets translated. So now I'm reading a new manga, Can't Lose You. While Claymore is fantasy and shounen type, CLY is romance and shoujo. In other words, total opposites. I like CLY's clean art and beautiful drawings. Not to mention that there's a power-hungry bishounen who loves the heroine, and would only bow to her and no one else!!! xP Okay, I admit it, I love shoujo stories. I am a girl, after all, even though I'm a tomboy personality-wise.

Reggie's To Do List:
1. Download and read all of CLY TODAY.
2. Get Darker Than Black
3. Finish the essay draft
4. Finish the maths hw and the acc assigment
5. Compile the class' profile
6. Sing God Knows again
7. Lose some weight
8. Talk less
9. Stop giving my trademark glare
10. Learn ballroom dances

Was supposed to study today. Went to college with my books and notes. Ended up just loitering around. I've never been so bored!!! No friends, little entertainment... Just last year I would have thought nothing of staying at home, sleeping and reading. Now I demand entertainment though. I'm even starting to think of entering the SJ Walk!! *gasp* And if you know me, you will remember me as a lazy pig who's just interested in books and nothing else.

SAM March Intake Mid-year is on July 24-27. Not very far away, and is gonna be nerve-wrecking. SAM Jan students have already took their mid-year nearly 2 weeks ago; next up is the CAL mid-year next week. I'm starting to regret joining the March intake... going on the January intake would probably make me happier, but then I'm now a March student, not a Januarian.

PTA day is on 23 June. That is 2 weeks from now. Argh no!!!! My mom loves PTA days; likewise I hate it. I never get really good reviews on PTA day, solely because the teachers all say that I could always do better (I bet they say that to all students, but then you don't know my mom). Every PTA day always ends with my mom lecturing me to do better. Not to mention that she'll get my Sem. 1 results, which I've been trying to hide for 2 months now. Is there a way I can intercept my results before they reach my mom? SMS me if you know a way.

I love my mp4. It's a MWalker, 1 Gb capacity. The screen's gone, but it's still usable. After 2 months I've taken it out again with me to college. I had bought it last year, and it's been my constant companion in Spain. In fact, it's part of my Spanish survival kit, that also includes computers with internet connection and my MSN buddies. Oh, and also my dictionary, of course! Sadly, I foresee that my MP4 is not suitable for my needs any more - there's too little memory for my music now. Soon i'll get a higher capacity MP3. I'll miss you, my trusty mp4!!!

Songs of the week:
1. God Knows... (Hirano Aya)
2. Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~ (Kosaka Riyu)
3. Nagareboshi ~Shooting Star~ (Home Made Kazoku)
4. Hero's Come Back! (nobodyknows+)
5. The World (Nightmare)
6. My Gravitation and Lunarian (Sun&Lunar)
7. Shinji no Uzu (from Fate/Stay Night)
8. Hoshizura no Spica (Tamura Yukari)

I never did get to watch Shrek 3 after all. None of my friends can go, and to go to the cinema with my whole family is a horrible situation I never want to repeat. So unless I want to go myself, I have to wait until the DVD comes out T.T

3 months more til the big day. I can barely wait!!! Although it would be like any other year, I still hope it would be different from the previous years' >.<>

Oh yea.... Happy Birthday Mei Kim!!!! So sorry that we can't celebrate together... But Happy Birthday!! May you be lucky the whole year!

My Celebrity Look-alikes

My cool celebrity look-alike collage from MyHeritage.com. Get one for yourself.



I uploaded several pictures on to MyHeritage. This is just one of the results. The other results include me looking as : Tom Felton (No way!!! Not Malfoy!!!), Prince William (omg), Tom Welling, Miriam Yeung, Maggie Cheung and Ueda Aya. Guess what??? I most resemble Naomi Watts at 75% !!! (Ok...this is creepy...)

Sunday, June 3, 2007

Why lah... My family is so psycho... My mum is like a bomb waiting to explode... my bro is the fire that lights up the fuse... and my dad is like the fuel poured over the fire... and I am the victim... Last night I can't even eat my dinner in peace... My mom was scolding my bro for eating so little, then my dad entered the fight... Ended up after dinner I got a lecture for being a lazy, stupid useless kid. I didn't even do anything!!! Just sitting there innocently... *sob* That's why I prefer to be away from my family... Everybody thinks my family looks happy... but truth is that we are super-psycho... I envy my friends for having happy families... My mom always get upset over everything, in the end I always kena...

Besides my extended family are too perfect... Until I always get compared to them... My mom always go, 'see lah! so-and-so is so good, so smart...' She always compare me to my cousins... Especially my smart-ass cousin Alex... He is smart, enter debates, go places, on dean's list... me, I'm useless, lazy, get lousy results, online too much, read too much...

Some more my mom know too many people with kids older than me... then she go like so-and-so punya daughter/son masuk this prestigious uni, got scholarship somemore... I knowlah, I very cha, scholarship pun cannot get, what else prestigious university... And she wants me to try for Melbourne U!!! I think I can go jump off a building now...

Yesterday she suggest that I have a birthday party for my birthday... Then I say dunwan... why? cause if I agree, she will non-stop lecture, even though she suggested it in the first place... First she will say don't think about the party, go study, she will handle it... then later after the party she will say I'm a lazy pig, never help her, she have to do all the work... And then later if my exam results is not super-good she will blame it on the party...and say that she wished she never allow me to do the party in the first place... In the end it's all my fault!! Like I said I wanted a party in the first place... So I told her I rather invite my friends go to McD than to have her do it... Then she annoyed pulak!

I can never understand this kind of mums... I knowlah they want us to be smart and everything, be successful in life... But then why treat us like horses...Always in a race to be No. 1, to be perfect... If everyone is perfect, then we'd be dead lah!! Cause then no one would be trying... Anyways there's always a winner and many losers... Just depends on how you look at it... The winner may have got the prize... but the others got experience and other stuff... Like some people... cannot study, but got talent, like art, or creativity.... But then the parents always say "study! study! must get good grades, be doctor/lawyer!" If everybody is doctor/lawyer or whatever "prime" job then who is going to be the artist that colors our life, the writer that spins stories, the labourers that help build buildings (you think architects build buildings ah? they just draw so that others can build). In a society there are many levels, and they depend on each other... If there are no teachers, then students can't study to be something... If there are no farmers, then you won't have food... No artist/writer/dancer/entertainer, no entertainment.... Our society would collapse... So don't make me into something perfect, like I am your doll, or puppet...

Claymore!!!
One of my favourite anime shows this season!!!
Every season I'd watch a action-style show (or shounen). Last year it was Fate/Stay Night, Busou Renkin and Shakugan no Shana. Now it's Claymore's turn. I have to admit though, I wasn't interested in the manga version as the art wasn't to my taste. Happily to say, I'm now addicted to the anime version. The action scenes just fill this bloodthirsty gap in my soul xP And the songs are just beautiful. (Hums away)

Anime: Claymore
Date: 4/4/2007
Summary: Claymores are half-Yoma and half-human. They are the warriors of the organisation 'Claymore' that hunts and kills Yomas. Claymore is about Claire, an orphan who turned into a Claymore in order to exact revenge.

Oooohhh.... Now I can't wait for the next episode...

Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~

Hear my heart, wandering inside your mind
I still can't let you go
Feel my hand, reaching out for you
there's nowhere I can rest my soul
Yet again, somebody is crying all alone
lost in the night
A trick is played, fate is what we can't avoid
but now we have to move on

Still I cherish what you gave to me
nothing can take it's place.
Do you know how trapped
I am, don't leave me here alone

Beautiful, the flowers bloom
her grace will never die
Nothing can shake her mind
she'll keep her face towards the blazing light

Clouds that break away today
share my pain oh guilty sky
Deep down inside I cried for my soul
embraced the tears that flows

Don't you know, there is a beginning
in every single pain
Anxiously waiting for the end
to come for it to fade away
Now your warmth, all of that is vague for me to touch
your love is faint
No color there, can you see my hand
it used to reach out for you every day

Silence catches up on me,
there's no longer a place for me
Now I've reached my destiny
I'm walking for myself

This world I am standing on
Needed some solitude
That truth I had to accept, soak it in
Your shadow I can see
Your dream I can't awake

I tried to trace it all
Deep down inside I cried for my soul
embraced the tears that flows
Seeking for the future, yeah
I'll keep on dancing towards my shining days
Everything. Is. Cancelled.
Oh well. I can live with that. Even right now I'm planning again - have too much free time on my hands -_-" Talk abt boring holidays!!!

Moral Test 1 is at 9.00 am - half an hour away. After that, half my class will balik kampung, 1/3 are going Pulau Redang. The rest probably have their own plans. The CAL students are studying hard for exams, my friends at Inti have exams, and by the time they finish their exams my holiday is gone. So I'm bored and lonely again, with another one week to study. Bugger.

I can probably turn emo now, but what the heck, I don't think I will. Not in this blog anyway.

Why is it that I find it hard to join clubs? There are so many interesting clubs - Dance, Bowling, Badminton, Drama, Reading, Music. But half the clubs require me to stay back, so I can't join. Dance hasn't started yet, so I'm still waiting. Bowling is no fun without friends, and I doubt that I can simply crash in. Wei Vern called me anti-social, after I told her I hardly make new friends unless all of us were in the same situation. I guess that tag fits me. Anti-social. Quiet (with strangers). Crazy. Boring. Lame.

When I am alone I tend to think alot. Reading books leave my mind free to think as well. I'd make up conspiracies, theories. Stories. Now I think of another alternate world. Of what-might've-beens and what-nots. A very bad thing to do. Reality and Illusion could mix if I do not keep them apart. And I don't want to suffer from shizophrenia. Not yet. Not when I have not experience what life have to offer me. Not until I have reached my goals, and to finally be at peace with myself.

Everybody has their version of the afterlife. Some believe that there exists a Heaven and Hell, where the dead are separated. Some believe there is only one place to go, aka the Underworld of the Greeks or the Seven Hells of the Chinese. Some believe they will be reincarnated. I wonder what the Afterlife really is. When we die, do our consciousness just disappear? Or do we float off somewhere? Would we even know that we are dead? Or is this life just a dream, and somewhere else the real me will wake up? An eminent Chinese scholar once dreamed that he was a butterfly. When he woke up, he thought, "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"

...leads him to doubt the basis of pragmatic arguments since this presupposes that life is good and death bad ... Zhuangzi expresses pity to a skull he sees lying at the side of the road. Zhuangzi laments that the skull is now dead, but the skull retorts, 'How do you know it's bad to be dead?'
