Heros live on.

Just watching a documentary on hbo signature about Michael Jackson.

Since I could remember, I've been in love with this man. And really, how can anyone resist? His love for his art, his professionalism, his integrity, his gentle heart, and his passion for humanity has never been clearer than now. Of course, when I first discovered the joy his music I was about 4, and all that I knew about him was that he could dance and sing like no one else.

While the guy has had his outrageous moments (and really, who hasn't?), so much tragedy in his life was unwarranted. Kind of makes you think about whether or not the price of fame is really worth it.

Regardless, I wish to say that MJ is gold. He is and forever will be my hero. The person that I've wanted to be since I was 4, a person who didn't let anything keep him down. I'm proud to say I'm a fan-girl for this god, and will never let anyone make me feel bad for him being my first love.

fuck all them haters.

not the second after or before.


today is urban ears day at work.

breaking my week long silence with a post about somethings that i don't get in/about social media.

1.
#wtfisthis
#fuckyeah
#imsohungrynow

DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?

now i understand hashtagging in twitter for actual words. does anyone actually know how this phenomenon came about? according to wiki, this form of identification in chatrooms, and then became a form of micro-posting/micro-blogging and emphasis. still, on facebook? has no one yet realized that facebook does not support hashtags as metadata?

gahh. and i thought i was slow.

2.
YOLO.

what the fuck does this even mean? is the statement not short enough for you lazy bastards? for those of you who are as clueless as i am, YOLO stands for "you only live once" and is now used by hipster wannabes as an excuse for doing very stupid things. you will see it's appearance in conversations along these lines.

"dude im so drunk typing in caps hurts my head.. drinks later though?"
"mother of god, john was just talking about getting a tattoo on his penis!"
"i know i've only known him for three weeks, but should we get married?"

and the reply to all these idiotic proclaimations would be
"WELL YOLO MUTHAFUCKA."
(this does not stop the facepalming and regret the following morning.)

3.
word-shortening to the point of causing major confusion. for example, what the hell is "feels"? as in:

"whoever from wherever is so hot and and and, oh my godddddddddddddd, the feelssssssssssss!"

???????????????
enough said.

sorry sheri, it was the best example i could think of hahaa.

4.
while i all but drool over the korean men, it is a fact they make horrendous dramas. in fondant garden, a taiwanese/korean hybrid that reduced me to tears only 92 times, i have to admit half of the 16-episode series are flashbacks. also, what is up with the roundabout storyline? i swear, every bloody korean drama is like turn-left-turn-fucking-right. (k-fans should know what i mean.)

other things that aggravate me:
  • why are all then men so hot and all the girls so average looking?
  • why are the girls too cute and all the men too perfect?
  • why is it that all villains have redeeming factors so it's impossible to hate them?
  • is it actually possible that a cake can be made from scratch in 15 minutes? if not, why are they made to order in this drama?
  • what's with the koreans being dubbed over in mandarin and the taiwanese being dubbed over in korean? why? WHY?


sighhh feeling frustrated all of a sudden. korean drama hotties, why are you all too good to be true?

shall be all for today then.

a truly unhealthy obsession.

happy raya celebrations everyone!

to all my muslim friends, please be on the look out for greedy little buggers going into random houses to collect money. they usually operate in groups, i am told.

hahaa told you i'd blog about this! (you know who you are ;])

on another note, have decided to abstain from alcohol the best i can. giving up an addiction is always painful, but i, genius that i am, have decided to simply replace it with something else.

namely:



DAFUQ?
he's prettier than i am! (and that's saying something.)

sighh.

i can't control.


this has got to be the most boring day in the office so far.the intern's term officially ended last week and so now whenever i'm in the office, i'm all by my lonesome. ohh well.

would love to blog about something profound but am out of ideas for the day.

chips and coke for lunch!

she loved to watch the sun go down.



haven't been posting with pictures or videos because i have been too lazy to do so from the iPad.

on the playlist today:

bryan adams - please forgive me
bon jovi - always
ronan keating - when you say nothing at all
guns n roses - november rain
richard marx - hazard
sting and the police - every breath you take
aerosmith - i don't wanna miss a thing
toto - georgy porgy

booked tickets to BRAVE tomorrow. now hate the online booking system for shaw with a vengence. also, why are movie tickets in singapore so ridiculously expensive? seeing how the government wants to keep kids off cigarettes and alcohol, should they not be making other recreational activities cheaper? this only makes sense to me, apparently.

anyways. shame the boyfriend can't join us, but in general, can't wait!

i know. i know.

what with all the k-pop hype with the freshest wave by psy, i revisited my guilty pleasure.



it really irritates me how their legs go on forever, and they look so good in those stupid tiny shorts. it irritates me even more that i know i'll never look like that in a million years. also it grates my nerves that knowing full well that envy is the my worst enemy, i nit pick and find little flaws. but most of all i absolutely hate how i cannot stop watching them because they're SO FREAKING CUTE.

you may laugh.

When it gets so be a little too much.

Today sees me in a somewhat melancholic state. Thank goodness for small wonders like the boyfriend's kindness, the bad dialog in Michael Jackson's music videos, a sister's loving support, and the silence of an afternoon's reflection.

While the days of late seem to be the worst ever, I suppose that events such as these are the ones that determine who we become. Read on Facebook that when life seems determined to crush you and you wonder where god is, remember that the teacher is always quiet during the test. Obviously, I'm not the religious sort, but it stuck me that there is always something you learn from the experiences and trials we endure.

Really does remind me that even when I'm falling apart at the seams, there are the still things to be so grateful for. To all the people in my life, thank you for the quiet support you offer, whether you know it or not. As for me, rest assured I won't be defeated by what seems too much to handle. To quote Joey "you are my Everest.". While i am aware that he was saying that to a cooked thanksgiving turkey, the message still applies.

Then some days are meant for tears.

It's amazing that it took all of 22 years to realize that there is really nothing quite like life and death to put things in perspective. To be honest, I think that I have never felt this way. There is so much I'd like to say to so many people, but most of the time I'm just too scared.. That's normal, right?

Still, in light of the very personal incident that occurred today, I suppose it's pretty understandable. Even more so with all the drama that has been going around lately. I have never been so un-calm in my life, which is weird.. I think that in the course of everything that has happened so far.. Well, the second world war looks far less of a disaster, at least from where I'm standing.

More tomorrow. For now, sleep.

The Olympics!

I shall never again watch the olympics. Well, never the table tennis tournaments at very least. As a Singaporean, it's really hard to say they're not throwing the matches just because they're foreign talent. And after that I feel like shit. It's hard to forget that they're people too. That they are as susceptible to pressure and fear as the rest of us.

Kind of wonder what it would feel like if I were in their position.

Mother and I were joking about us forming a mother-daughter team for synchronized swimming. I then said we should include my two younger sisters and she said no. When asked why, she said "Because you're as short and as pudgy as I am. OH OH WE CAN PRACTICE WITH CLOTHES PINS ON OUR NOSES."

I have never been so amused, mortified and offended in my life.

Really do have to lose weight.

Haven't been blogging the last few days as I have been really busy, and also because I have been leaving my laptop at the office for convenience's sake. It really is a horrible thing to lug around all the time when you're tired and hungry.

Watching a bantam match now on the telly (don't I sound so terribly English today?) and am wondering what the hell bantam is. What the fuck is bantam? Looks like boxing to me. Shall remember to google later.

As this remains the rantings of an extremely tired, uninteresting, average young lady, I shall refrain from too fancy a goodbye, as I'm too tired to care, and it's not like anyone reads this anyway. Ta!
