Starting Afresh

Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Hahahaha
You know where I got this from, Elysia.

Happy New Year Happy New Year Happy New Year Everybody!!!!

Made any New Year Resolutions yet?
I have:
1. Lose Weight
2. Earn More Money
3. Look hotter
4. Marry Dean Winchester from Supernatural. And Edward Cullen. And Sam Winchester. And Clark Kent. And J.D. ( Even though I already have Edward Norton and James McAvoy, I can marry another one this year cause its a brand new year, Cindy XD)

Well, let's see. Would you look at that. I made the exact same resolutions last year! ( Except for the fourth one. I fulfilled my resolution by marrying Edward Norton and James McAvoy hahahahaha) Which just goes to show how useless resolutions are to lazy, undisciplined people.
Oh well. Better luck this year.

So how did I spend my New Year's Eve?
The original plan was to go to Elder Park in the city for the New Year's Day countdown ( See picture above) That would have been exciting.
Instead, I ended up sitting around in Erica's room alternating between staring at the ceiling, chatting and eating dried weetbix without milk cause we were too lazy to go down for milk. ( It's nice, don't get me wrong)
And then Erica went over to see her boyfriend about an hour from midnight and I went back to my room to watch yet another episode of Supernatural and another episode of Two and A Half Men. Before going to sleep a little after midnight...
Don't ask me how my New Year's Eve turned out like that, its a long story that I'm not getting into now.
So have a HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!
Have a good one this year!!!!

HUH???

Huh?
HAHA. That has to be one of the cutest pics ever of a monkey.
Life has been pretty mundane recently. Christmas parties, dinners, movies aside, nothing much exciting. I also have not been able to get off my lazy ass to get those pics we took from everybody's cameras. So, no uploads or updates.
Now that Christmas is over, time for New Year. The fact that I'll be working again is pretty darn depressing. oh well.
Goodness, time flies.

Mr Hankey The Christmas Poo

We all know of Rudolph and his shining nose

And we all know Frosty who's made out of snow

But all of those stories seem kind of... gay

`Cause we all know who brightens up our holiday

Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

Small and brown he comes from you

Sit on the toilet here he comes

Squeeze him 'tween your festive buns

A present from down below

Spreading joy with a "Howdy-Ho!"

He's seen the love inside of you

`Cause he's a piece of poo

Sometimes he's nutty

Sometimes he's corny

He can be brown or greenish brown(Mmmmhmmm!)

But if you eat fiber on Christmas eve

He might come to your town!

Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

He loves me, I love you

Therefore, vicariously he loves you!

I can make a Mr. Hankey too!

(Pffffft)Cartman: Well Kyle where is he?

Kyle: Ehh .. He's coming!

Stan: Come on dude, push!

Kyle: Ehhhh... I'm Trying!

Cartman: Wait, wait I can see his head!

Kyle: Here he comes![POP!]

Mr. Hankey: Howdy Ho!

I'm Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

Seasons Greetings to all of you!

Let's sing songs and dance and play

Now before I melt away.

Here's a game I like to play

Stick me in your mouth and try to say

Howdy ho ho yum yum yum

Christmas Time has come!

Singers: Sometimes He's runny

Sometimes he's firm

Sometimes he practically water

.Sometimes he hangs off the end of your ass

And wont fall in the toilet'

Cause he's just clinging to your sphincter

And he wont drop off .. and so you shake your ass around

And try to get it to drop in the toilet and finally it does.

Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

When Christmas leaves he must leave too.

Flush him down but he's never gone

His smell and his spirit linger on.

Howdy Ho!

***South Park's songs rock!!! Sick, disgusting and so horrendously funny!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!

Goodbyes

If there was one thing I could ask God,
I would ask Him to take away all the goodbyes in life.
We are forced to say our goodbyes to so many things in this life.
To loved ones, either for good or for a while;
And you know that when it's for good, it feels like your heart is being wrenched from your chest when you know that you will never see them again, never hear them laugh, cry or speak;
To memories that you've grown so fond of, that you know you will never again experience no matter how hard and long you search;
To people who, were at first strangers, but you soon grew so fond of, grew to love, to cherish, to depend on;
That's why I never like sending people off at airports, or attending farewell parties.
Why prolong what will inevitably happen anyway?
I suppose Goodbyes are just another part of life we can't avoid.
Like sin, temptations, greed and all that.
And I suppose I'll just have to take it as it comes,
But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Twilight

Come on, who hasn't heard about Twilight?
It was one of the most anticipated movie of the year, and I'm pretty sure everyone's buying the book now that the movie's out ( like Ivy did) and trying to finish it before they watch the movie.
So anyway, we watched it last night.
Boy was it disappointing.
The first half of the movie was hard to sit through. The characters were so awkward, and the scenes were hurried, there was no sense of continuity and the director seemed more worried about getting to the end of the movie than about the whole journey.
But then the second half got a lot better, starting from the really cool baseball match between all the vampires. So thank goodness the second half of the movie saved it a bit from a total disaster. And there was that super romantic scene at the end at Bella's prom where they're dancing and there's this beautiful song playing in the background. That scene made sitting through the first half of the movie totally worth it!

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
I won't even pretend to notice the girl. I'm pretty sure that if we had the time to question every girl in the audience ( and that would have taken all day as about 90% of the audience were female) every one of them would have said the same thing.
I'm just here to see Edward Cullen.


Him

And him.

And him.

Edward Cullen- vampire, Bella's boyfriend ( he's too good for her ;) and that guy that every girl dreams of having. I mean seriously, who wouldnt want a guy described ( in the book) as devastatingly beautiful, smart, musical ( he wrote a damn song for her!), intense, and willing to sacrifice everything for the girl he loves?

Jeez. Of course we were all there to see him ( Yes Shann, he's hot and I don't care what you say, he did NOT ruin the movie. The director did. Blame her)

Sigh.

If only he existed.

Productivity

Ah, what a productive this day has been.
I had breakfast
Finished off my season 4 of Two and a half men ( which is wickedly funny!)
Finally found out what happened to Dean from Supernatural by watching the season finale of season 3
Managed to memorize all the lyrics for "Tomorrow" from "Annie"
Sang along to Ewan McGregor's "Your Song" karaoke I downloaded from Youtube.
And FINALLY FINALLY got my TAFE transcript!!!!
HAHAAAAAAAAA!!!
Finally!!!
Something to prove I've completed my diploma!
ANd now I can do so many things!
Get enrolled as a nurse, confirm my place in FLinders University...
Ah.
Productivity, my middle name XD

Meet Joe Black

I've only just finished watching Meet Joe Black.
Have always wanted to watch this movie because I've heard about it a lot and also heard that Brad Pitt is absolutely gorgeous in this movie ( they weren't wrong- he was superlicious)

Anthony Hopkins plays Bill, a media mogul whose time is almost up. however, the circumstances of his death are a bit different than the usual ones. Death visits him, in the form if a young man called Joe Black ( Brad Pitt, of course) and tells him that in return for more time, he would like Bill to show him around. In other words, to be put most ironically, Death wants Bill to show him how to live. Eve and I were saying how ironic the whole idea was, Death wanting to know about living life.

And then comes the weirder part where DEath falls in love with Bill's daughter!

But the whole point of this movie ( I think) is to show us how wonderful and special life is and how we should always appreciate it. Even the little things. Even peanut butter. All the little wonders and miracles of our daily lives are seen as wondrous, magical occurences through Joe Black's eyes, who has never been alive in this world. We take peanut butter for granted, that sweet, salty taste. But not Joe Black. He has his first taste of peanut butter and instantly falls in love with it. And at dinnertime when they are serving caviar, he declines, and requests just peanut butter. I found that scene funny, and honest.

There was also this quote from the movie, where Bill is explaining to his daughter why he doesn't think the man she is dating now is the man she wants to marry, the man she loves.
I really like it.

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."

All in all, this was a great movie, and I loved it. Of course, the soundtrack by Thomas Newman was amazing too... I'll be downloading it now XD

Cycling

We went cycling the other day with MC Pearl Marjorie Geraldine and Lawrence.
We rented our bicycles ( for free) from the city council in the city before proceeding to cycle all the way to Glenelg. All in all it was about an hour's trip...
The ride was fun. MC was the leader and Lawrence was the tail, he had to make sure no one was left behind ( Although he always was the one left behind)
We yell out anything we wanted to say and it would be passed on to the end and speed up whenever we approached traffic lights ( of course, this would be where Lawrence would be left behind at times haha)
We even managed a game of Frisbee and volleyball when we got to the beach until the damn rain started to fall.
So we cycled back, all the time trying to beat the grey clouds ( which we did, successfully and managed to get home dry) and even had time to stop at Mackers for ice cream!
All in all, good fun that day

Happy Birthday Cindy!!!

Jeez

So many people having birthdays these years...

Haha

Anyway,

This is for Cindy!!

one of my newest goodest friend!! (and neighbour)

Have a great one this year!

Thanks for being the awesomest friend!!!

Miss ya, see ya when I get back!!

I Could Be A Million Things ( Pt. 3)

But then disaster struck. The economy crashed. People lost their jobs, companies went bankrupt, and although they were tucked away in their little town, they were hugely affected. Her father lost everything and had to declare bankruptcy. His father managed to salvage what was left of his business, but the stress and hard work took its toll on him and he fell ill. The Depression had changed them all. No more long, lazy afternoons spent doing nothing, no more visiting each other when their parents came around for tea. But their love for each other never changed, never faded and they were in a sense happy despite all that was happening.
Things only went downhill from there. Her father, having fallen on such hard times, promised her to a young man from another town. Her suitor had managed to hold on to his wealth throughout the Depression and her father thought it would save them from poverty if she were married to him. She refused. Again and again, she refused. She begged, she pleaded, she cried and she raged and she screamed until her throat was sore. But the decision was final. Either marry him or lose your family.

Happy Birthday PEILING!!!

This is for Peiling.
One of my oldest and good friends.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
You're now officially 19!!! ( Finally managed to catch up with me... good job, girl! haha)
Have a great one, take care and always, thanks for being such a super duper friend!
Cant wait to see ya when I get back.
HUGS n KISSES!!

Odd Socks

I think that somewhere in a galaxy far, far away there is an alternate universe where ALL my odd socks have settled down. They probably have a small community going, with town councils, laws and legislations, mayors. They've probably all made friends, got married, made a family and gave birth to more odd socks. Seriously.

That's the only way to explain the whole mystery of how and where our socks always dissapear to. I swear, they just totally vanish off the surface of this earth! They're not in the dryer, in the washing machine, in my cupboard, in my laundry basket.

I mean, right this moment, I have only 3 pairs of socks that match, and one of them is starting to get holey! So I always have to plan my attires properly according to my daily activites. If I'm going to the gym and will be wearing socks, I make sure I save my matching socks so I wont look silly with mismatched socks peeking over the top of my shoes. Working days I'll be wearing long slacks anyway so wth.

Once, I didn't know we were having communion service in church ( ergo, foot-washing). I was wearing boots so i thought doesnt matter what socks I wear, no one will see them. Boy was I mistaken when I took off my boots and my partner saw my mismatched socks. One was a colourful polka-dot one and another was a colourful striped one. Jeez.

I wonder where that Odd Socks World is. I wouldnt mind a visit, really.

Question

I love this scene from Scrubs.

Turk ( thats the black guy) has just popped the question to Carla and she has made him wait for days because of her own insecurities. He got mad at her because he realized she was making him wait for purely selfish reasons.

When Carla finally realizes what she has been doing and says yes, this super-cute song starts playing and I dont know how they do this all the time but Scrubs always always manages to find the most appropriate songs for every single situation they get.

This song is super-cute, romantic, heart-warming and so appropriate for this situation.Watch the video. tell me what u think XD

Question by Old 97s

She woke from a dream

Her head was on fire

Why was he so nervous?

He took her to the park

She crossed her arms

And lowered her eyelids

Some day somebody's gonna ask you

A question that you should say yes to

Once in your life

Babe tonight I've got a question for you

She'd had no idea

Started to cry

She said in a good way

He took her by the hand

Walked her back home

They took the long way

Some day somebody's gonna ask you

A question that you should say yes to

Once in your life

Babe tonight I've got a question for you

I've got a question for you

Skeletons

Pictures of my poor, burnt high school...

Thanks for the Memories

I only just heard from Elysia.
The Junior Science lab, St John + RC room, library, and part of the staff room of my old high school SMK Kuching High was burnt down this afternoon.
My first response was
GASP!!!
WHY????
HOW????
WHEN????
Then Elysia and I were in depressed, numb, shock for a while.
And now here I am thinking and reminiscing on all those times and fun we had there.
Not in the staff room ( I've got mostly traumatic experiences there, like everybody normal should), not the RC + St John Room either ( I was never in any uniform body), but mostly the Science Lab ( Because however much I detested it at that time, there was no way I was skipping Science classes) and the Library.
I remember falling asleep in the Science Lab on those humid afternoons, drawing doodles on my Science textbooks, messing with the equipments, laughing at out infamous Pn Kang as she talked her nonsense and sent showers of spit on us. I remember always wondering about that fetus in the jar on the display cupboard and hearing rumours that it had belonged to a teacher ( To this day, I don't know if it's true)
I remember spending hours in the library before class started when I was still in the afternoon session. I found many a good book there and the very first Nora Roberts book I borrowed ( She's my ultimate favourite author) was from the very same library= True Betrayals. I loved it so much I asked my mom to photocopy the whole novel instead. She ended up buying it for me ( Thanks mom).
So here's to rooms well-used, time well spent, memories too precious to ever let go.
Here's to the place that helped me grow, that went through all my ups and downs, that made me part of who I am.
Here's the my old high school.
Thanks for the memories!
Cheers.
