On the 3rd of November 1988, a baby was highly eager to see the world but now wishes she can just snuggle under her quilt and sleep the days away...

That's me. I'm nineteen, Malaysian but studying down under now in Brisbane.

The Shuffle that didn't originate from Melbourne
Stolen from Friendster, as posted by Sue Ching.

Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle.
Say the following questions aloud, and press play.
Use the song titles that come up to answer each question.
NO CHEATING.

I added in my thoughts of how the song really relates to the question. :)

How does the world see me?:
Jem-They
As the lyrics goes, it is because it's true that ignorance is bliss? Do you see what I see?

Will I have a happy life?:
Aslyn-That's When I Love You
This song is about loving your man in good times and bad, since she sings about loving her man even when he forgets she's standing in the rain. If that's what makes me happy.. :)

What do people really think of me?:
LCD Soundsystem-Daft Punk Is Playing At My House
This is a really random song off the OC soundtrack, and the song is about the dude getting Daft Punk to perform at his house. Err.. do people think I hold parties or gigs? Cause I sure as heck don't!

Do people secretly lust after me?:
Usher-Truth Hurts
Haha, that's a NO!

How can I make myself happy?
Linkin Park feat Jay-Z-I.Z.Z.O./In The End (Live)
'Tried to hold on, and didn't even know, wasted it all just to watch you go. I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart.' Is that a cue to stop trying, and maybe stop holding on to the past?

What should I do with my life?
Christina Aguilera-Reflection
Ahh.. bloody good timing for that song to appear. :) 'If I wear a mask, I can fool the world, but I cannot fool my heart... I will show the world what's inside my heart and belong for who I am..'

Will I ever have children?:
Foo Fighters-Best Of You
All I can pick from the song that's relevant is 'I'll never give in'. I love children, so yes, I'm hoping i will.

What is some good advice for me?:
Savage Garden-I Knew I Loved You
There was once that I really felt it's true.. 'I think I dreamed you into life... I have been waiting all my life...' I haven't felt that way in a really long time.

What do I think my current theme song is?:
Planet Shakers-I Believe
This song was sent to me by a very random acquaintance whom I've lost touch with due to the death of ICQ, but recently, I've been making a lot of contact with people from the past (BTW, I don't mean from my previous life =.=). Nothing to do with the song lyrics, more to do with the song itself.

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?:
Lifehouse-The End Has Only Just Begun
I've only heard this song a few times, but there's a part that goes 'so stop counting the hours, live out in the world'.

What song will play at my funeral?:
Lisa Loeb-Stay
'And now that I'm leaving, now that I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you.' Yeah, i suppose I will miss people. :)

What type of men/women do you like?:
Anthony Callea-I Want To Know What Love Is
Err.. it's a song about having too much heartache to change having a lonely life. So.. I need someone who can make me change?

What is my day going to be like?
Pink-You Make Me Sick
I think the title says it all, even if I don't know who has that capacity to actually make me sick.

Why am I here?
Usher-You'll Be In My Heart
'For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us can't be broken. I will be here, don't you cry.' My little sister comes to mind. :)

What will people remember me for?
Jack Johnson-Taylor
Right, I've never really paid attention to this song when it's playing. 'She just wanders around, unaffected by the winter winds. Yeah, she'll pretend that she's somewhere else, so far and clear about two thousand miles from here.' I take it you'll remember me for my dreamy attitude and my ability to just stare off into space like the hottest dude on earth is floating in mid-air.

What song will I get stuck in my head tomorrow?
Ying Yang Twins feat Pitbull-Shake
Haha, I wouldn't mind! It makes me feel like dancing whenever I hear it!

Are there people outside waiting to take me away?
Destiny's Child-Through With Love
I guess not. Lol.

What will this year be all about?
Alicia Keys feat Nas & Rakim-Streets of New York
It wouldn't be all thug gangsta, I don't think. But it is indeed 'a jungle out there'.

Same old. I tag Trinity, Averdim, Sa-chan, Max, Munak, Tim, Kitty, and anyone else who owns a blog that sees this. Kyels, I know you don't do tags, but if you're free, girl! :) Oh, you guys are excused if you have already done the previous one on songs, but hey, this is a blog filler! Hehe.

Repaying beer with girly drinks!
When I went to Aundre's house for his birthday celebration, Jed who I had only met a couple of days before blessed us all with one entire carton (carton?) of beer and we all happily helped ourselves to it during the drinking game. I don't remember saying thanks, oops. And he invited me to a party tonight through Nick but I couldn't go since I had also said no to two other invitations...

Well, since Jed was so nice to offer me these:

I shall be bringing girly drinks to his next party to repay him! I wonder how he would react... ;)

I present to you my favourite lovelies:


Kristov Vodka Cruiser (Image from Independent Distillers)

I reckon they're the best girly drinks ever made, yay!

I'll cross my fingers that Jed does not get appalled, which would result in him never inviting me to any of his parties ever again. ;)

Being realistic
Last night, the horribly honest person in me told him that his use of cliches was getting to me... Sometimes I surprise myself with my apathy.

I know that most girls would be flattered that a guy would tell them that 'I'll never make you angry' or 'I want to spend and share my life with you' but it just annoyed me. He may have meant it, but it didn't elicit a happy response from me. I like realism. I would've preferred a 'I'll never INTENTIONALLY make you angry", cause let's face it; we all say things that make people angry whether we do it on purpose or not. Maybe it's more that people should think everything through before hitting the 'Enter' key. Let's not go to the 'I want to spend and share my life with you'...

If by now those of you reading this don't already get it, then maybe you're not meant to get it, okay?

I sound like the most arrogant bitch ever, but argh... When it comes to something like this, I'm not easiest person to please. I have my own principles with relationships that you might share or be opposed to. Tough. But a relationship isn't just about one person.

It's like when he says that there is nothing he dislikes about me. I don't believe him. He's not a liar, he just has a way of viewing things that I don't agree with. No matter how beautiful someone looks on a pedestal (fuck, he'd better not view me that way), they have their imperfections. Come closer and you'll notice them, whether you want to see them or not. They just jab you in the eye. And if he can get any closer, I'd be surprised out of my skin. So how can he say it? If it isn't another cliche..

To me, if you don't agree with something, or you have to make yourself adapt to it, then just be honest and say that you dislike it when I ask you. I'm not going to shoot you for it; I'd only be impressed because that's the impact honesty has on me. It'd be just the same for the opposite; if something's not there, don't say it is for the sake of saying it or because you think it'd please the other person. What I'm talking about is of course, among others, the often abused "I love you". I hate it when people do that. The words are meant to signify something special, sacred, not as a defence of your actions, a weapon against someone, or any way else the insensitive people use them. You disgust me.

I'm an advocate for real relationships where two people can be truthful, meet their own realistic expectations, and have no less than unbiased perspectives of each other (I'm not going into the whole like-love-sacrifice-blah blah here). Because it isn't always going to be a fantasy or a re-enaction of 'A Walk To Remember' (just insert your own version of a soppy romantic movie). If you don't think of it as a mere fling, that it's going to be serious, then this is how it has to be, isn't it?

Yeah, romantic idealistic views of how a relationship should be are good to keep things alive. Optimism is good so that you can keep the relationship in the light, having faith in the other person and how things will go. But isn't moderation the key? If you keep daydreaming of how everything should be, more often than not, nothing short of perfect, and sulk and compare it to what you have, who'll be happy? If you keep placing blind faith in something that should've died a long time ago, or is already dead, are you not in denial? What is the point of dragging your feet, when all you do is hurt them and the person you pull with you? Get real. Get bloody smart. This is life. No one is always going to be there to sugar-coat the truth.

I have no objections against the dizzy romantic phases of a relationship... I just think that if you really want the relationship to last, then you should know what you have to do, what you have to see, and listen to your head, not just what your heart tells you.

What you didn't know about me
Tim Tams and cold milk, yum. The best companion for study! Well, okay, coffee's the bomb, but Ryan's sleeping in the lounge and I can't turn the kettle on. Bugger.

Ah well. Chocolate is ever inspiring, yay! The chocoholic in me is speaking, I swear...

Oh, I have a couple of confessions to make. So listen up. Or read it. Whatever.

I really prefer girls over guys.

And I don't believe in love.

So yes. This has been a friendly reminder to you that today is April Fool's Day. *smack!* I know I deserved that. :P

Moving along now.

Argh, at the rate I'm going, I'll ace that bloody test tomorrow. Oh, it's actually in about 6 fucking hours. This keeps getting better. I'll be the sleep-deprived mad woman wanting to get out of the exam room ten minutes after it's started.

I want more Tim Tams. Kill those bastards who created this evil, addictive, extremely yummylicious biscuits that rock my world because they're gonna make more zits magically appear like they were summoned from God knows where. As if the ones on my face aren't enough.

See, Fuckstress is right. Pull the two apart and it'd be 'fuck stress'. Ya, fuck it cause it's making me a pizza-faced chick.

Going back to my textbook.

We're in hell
.T.r.i.n.A. :: acing it. again. says:
u dont force things to happen
.T.r.i.n.A. :: acing it. again. says:
thats the way the world goes round
.T.r.i.n.A. :: acing it. again. says:
and until the day that ppl can accept the fact that you can always try, but not succeed, and all u can do bout that is suck it up and try again, there will always be ppl who pull you down
.T.r.i.n.A. :: acing it. again. says:
and for someone as smart as you, i feel that its ridiculous that you're letting ppl fuck round with your mind

(I left names out..)

Trinity, you made me see sense again... You should turn on Anna Nalick's Breathe because that's your song. Thanks, girl... Now if I could just have that little bit of reciprocation, then maybe it'd all.. just.. magically fall into place... And we won't have to pick up any pieces . . .

Our differences will disappear. You'll never need to try again. I'll stop myself from picking on every little detail. And the sun will happily shine on your face as the warmth seeps deep inside, the clouds will be the beautiful, pristine white cotton balls floating amongst the brightest blue backdrop that children try desperately to catch as the breeze never allows a single drop of sweat to form on your forehead... Such brighter days . . .

Sigh.. why does everything have to be so hard? When did it all stop making sense...? I don't like this. At all. Everything's missing even though they're all present. Who would've thought that the me who sees the downs in everything would come home so early? I didn't call you. Why'd you come back to haunt me again?

I never left... I only kept my silence . . .

You should've shut up for longer.

If it could all go back to the way it was, if happiness had remained so far away, I wouldn't be so unaccustomed to this now.

Happiness spoils people. People forget all too quickly what pain's like in the midst of the illusion that they have it all . . .

So it was an illusion.

Indeed.

Go to hell.

. . .  We're in it.

The episode of the burnt porridge
To all the cooking noobs out there like me: do NOT get distracted while attempting to make something edible. I was making myself porridge when I decided to start on another equally important task and then the smell hit me. Mmm.. I can almost taste the yummy in my tummy Korean beef rice porridge...

Wait.. didn't I put the lid on the saucepan?

SHIT!!

Run, run, run into the kitchen to find my precious porridge overflowing onto the not-so-clean stove, the lid still on and the fire on full blast, thanks to my impatience. Arghhh...

Well, at least all the marks came off, and I still have the biggest bowl of porridge ever (yay, it's not burnt!), so big that it puts the Father Bear's (remember THAT childhood story?) meal to shame. It's not real porridge since it came out of a damn packet, but it sure as hell beats anything else I could have for lunch, except Korean noodles, which I only skipped cause it's a roasting day and spicy noodles will be a killer.

Bet you guys have got a yummier lunch though, hmmph!

Right now, I'm blogging while having lunch cause I have to turn on nerd mode fully later for another test on Saturday. :( And after that test, I have another two essays to write. Can someone just kill me now? Your consolation is that even if you do kill me, you're still not as heartless as the people who make assignments and exams compulsory, yay. :P

It looks like I can't make it to any of those 2 parties on Saturday. How sad. Instead I'll be sitting in my room, trying to conjure up bullshit that'll pass off as an excellent essay. And the night might just get worse if Ryan decides to come home drunk again. Hmmph, this time he can try to climb over the balcony door cause I am not opening the garage door from him. He can go ahead and make a crapload of noise that'll wake his mom up and compel her to bash him in. :P

Today's going sooooo slowlyyyyyyyyyy... I think the days always do when you're stuck in a rut. :P Alright, fine, I'm going to try and go against those genes and stop procrastinating...

Talk about going against the impossible.

The Songs Meme Part 2
Trinity tagged me back with the last bit of the Songs Meme that she made up. Which is good, cause I can tag a few more people: Pris, Max, Munak, and if he still reads my blog, Morbid Muse (only the songs one). :)

One song...

you have no effing idea what it says but you know is great... Lee Hom's Zhu Lin Shen Chu. Because it's so catchy!

that moved you like no other the first time you heard it: Firehouse's I Live My Life For You. But there were other reasons for that too...

that brings tears to your eyes: Hoobastank's The Reason

you wish they would STOP playing: I had previously wished they would stop playing Eminem's Ass Like That. Pointless song, because if I wanted to listen to some guy moaning about some chick's ass, it'd be something that I can dance to while ignoring the lyrics.

that has been played too many times but you still sing along to it: any Jay Chou ballad

you love because of the singer: Nicholas Tse's Ying Wei Ai Suo Yi Ai! ;) But I do actually like the song. :)

you wish was YOUR hit single: The First Cut Is The Deepest by Rod Stewart. And Sheryl Crow sang it again, and the result was equally great.

Keep the tagging alive, cause it's fun and annoying at the same time, yay!
