interesting point of view.

piercing the ear cartilage was more painful than expected. i am NOT going to do that again. i didnt know that i look so xiaojie to the point that the interviewer asked if i could do the dishes. actually, i didnt plan on going to the interview. but then, thanks to a particular peipei, i decided to try it out for fun. it was kinda fun. felt like oral all over again. where i just pretended that i knew a lot. hahaz...

watched sharktales and incredibles. went into the cinema not expecting much from sharktales so wasnt disappoint. there was not much plot but still nice mindless entertainment esp after econs p1 and 2. as for the incredibles, those who watch spiderman2 will find a lot of action sequences familiar. though it was interesting to see it being animated. the show got kinda draggy towards the middle part though. or maybe it was due to the four inconsiderate brats sitting behind us that kept kicking the seats and making comments. my scolding them was effective like for all of 15min before their antics resumed. although more toned down. kids and parents with such kids shld be banned from cinemas.

read the da vinci code. perhaps due to all the hype but it didnt live up to my expectation. plus i had trouble understanding all the christian references. enjoyable book but would be more interesting if the pace was faster.

and i need to buy christmas presents for 6 pp of age ranging from 8 months to 16 years. dont ask me why i agreed to the errand. how on earth do i know what to get for an 8 month old child? am reconsidering my decision of leaving the job hunt to jan, looking at the number of jobs that require sending resumes. it doesnt help that am the only bum slacking around doing nothing in my household.

after staring at the comp for close to three hours and changing i've-lost-count-how-many things, i found an alternative to the headache. so now the tagboard's at the bottom. but having the alternative doesnt mean that i have to like it.

argh! am not going to change my template for a very very long time. too time consuming. and after so long, the stupid tagboard is still making all my posts appear at the bottom!!!

was aimlessly (in true sense of the word) surfing when i stumbled upon the nokia site. with more aimless surfing, i came across the 5410 page. this is what caught my attention:

(as one of the phone's selling point)
Durability
Xpress-on shells that provide protection against splashes and dust
Inner module resists splashes and dust when shells and keymat are in place

(then in small prints at the bottom)
Phone is not waterproof. Please read the User's Guide for more information.

so what is the phone "splash" proof from? saliva? the beauty of disclaimers indeed.

Wackiness: 50/100

Leadership: 56/100

You are a SEDL--Sober Emotional Destructive Leader. This makes you a Dictator.

You prefer to control situations, and lack of control makes you physically sick. You feel have responsibility for everyone's welfare, and that you will be blamed when things go wrong. Things do go wrong, and you take it harder than you should.

You rely on the validation and support of others, but you have a secret distrust for people and distaste for their habits and weaknesses that make you keep your distance from them. This makes you very difficult to be with romantically. Still, a level-headed peacemaker can keep you balanced.

Despite your fierce temper and general hot-bloodedness, you have a soft spot for animals and a surprising passion for the arts. Sometimes you would almost rather live by your wits in the wilderness somewhere, if you could bring your books and your sketchbook.

You also have a strange, undeniable sexiness to you. You may go insane.

ambitious + delusional + tendency to overestimate my abilities + desperately praying for miracles = me

two of my six sisters today (more like yesterday, anw) came to a consensus that i look like a christian. then people always say i look like a jacq. the interesting thing is i know of so many jacs and everyone has a different kind of 'look'. so does that mean i look like everyone?

my element is not water cos i never seem to be able to swim properly. definitely not land cos i cant run fast enough if i actually bother to run in the first place. i am optimistic though. perhaps my element is air. so when i'm able to fly, will tell you guys. the land has taken revenge since i half bounce half hop (not run) on it. anyone have any idea on how to stretch your shin?

what's with the attention on blogging recently? about it being used to air political views etc. this reminds me: was blog surfing once and came across this blog that lambasted other blogs for being trivial and the use of bad english and what-have-yous. hmm... actually blogging does make us more egocentric. then again, most of us already are. blogging just increase the tendency for us to do so.

actually, i have nothing much to blog about. since most of the day is spent trying to studying for my own good. all the things mentioned about 耳濡目染 doesnt work. cos by right, with the amount of notes scattered around the room, i should be highly influenced to study. but nopes, been watching tv and reading the papers since i've got home.

exams draw people together. everyone talks about it. so it can be harness as a tool of propaganda. doesnt make sense? it didnt to me either. the though just floated past my brain (?) this whole post isnt supposed to make sense anyway.

When they push when they pull, tell me can you hold on
When they say you should change can you lift your head high and stay strong
Will you give up, give in, when your heart's crying out that it's wrong
Will you love you for you at the end of it all

In life, there's gonna be times when you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

The boy who wonders is he good enough for them
Keeps tryin' to please 'em all but he just never seems to fit in
Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be good enough for him
Keeps tryin' to change and that's a game she'll never win

Now in life there's gonna be times when you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears
Her own reflection, now foreign to her after all these years
All of her life she has tried to be something besides herself
Now time has passed and she's ended up someone else with regret

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending
Gotta let ourselves be

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

those people in control of the education system have no idea what they make thousands of students go through. was standing in the supermarket just now, deciding what to buy when the words "choices" and "destiny" kept flashing in my mind. talk about post traumatic stress disorder.
