SKAUNGG!

i just got back from the cinema and

avatar. was. TOTALLY EPIC.

i honestly have not seen such a good movie from hollywood in damn long.

all of a sudden, human life seems damn unappealing.

































































i wanna be a Navi and have my own ikran, and have the ground light up as i walk and omg humans are damn boring and barbaric and selfish.

i also really liked Trudy. the rogue 1 pilot. SHE DAMN BADASS WEI OMG.

























'you're not the only one with guns, bitch.'




wiki-ed it and omg i'm freaking in awe of James Cameron right now.

conceptialisation of a-freaking-nother planet to such detail and creating the whole language and culture of Pandora. is just amazing. did you know it was supposed to be filmed right after he finished Titanic? he decided technology needed to 'catch up' to what it looked like in his mind. that is some character man.

i mean it was just totally engaging, beginning to end.



so if you've watched it, and loved it, VIRTUAL HIGH 5.

if you've watched it, and hated it, to each his own blablabla BUT YOU'RE STILL IGNORANT.


if you haven't watched it, WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE, LOSER.























skaung.

i don't remember you looking any better; but then again i don't remember you

who says - john mayer


i think i'm losing the will to blog, noooooo.




















YESTERDAY
life began at 12.45 :)

and was on pause when i arrived home. mailman at my doorstop with NS letter mch. nice. NEVERMIND. spm over.

ran in and out of shower (yes i shower clean thanks) got out texted 'ARE YOU READY' to the girls and got 'HELL YEAHS'. picked up yy nic chuen and ro and we went shopping at our favourite haunt :)

not telling you wheeere :D

got to brickfields got on monorail (nic's first time, congrats you've experienced the public transportation of a third world country) and forgot to camwhore (what?) okay we did a little but the i don't look good in photos anymore i should learn photoshop

i'mma try using picnik now, thanks ro :D

anyway got there, and ate alright food with watery coleslaw and it poured like mad.

dashed in the rain to get to the other side, only for rain to stop 5 mins later. NEVERMIND. spm over.

bought a bag, 2 dresses, a top and a skirt for about 100. i'm awesome, i tell you.

still not telling you where :D

coming back was kinda chaotic, alot more complicated than getting there. we tried to stuff monorail tickets into putra lrt machines, get onto the wrong platform and almost end up in titiwangsa, force our way into trains more stuffed than pamela anderson's bra (provided she wears one), avoid people who smell like dried prawns, tried to go down ascending escalators, avoid making our dinner appoinment waiting 2 hours

had shit loads of fun :)

AND. i did all that on 3 hours of sleep the night before. ANSWERED 2 CHINESE PAPERS in the morning okay! needless to say, http://www.iamawesome.com/

was dead beat after. had pizza for dinner(so much for chanting 'i will lose weight to wear my dresses') and i almost fell asleep. i would've woken up with pepperoni on my forehead if i wasn't well. awesome.

couldn't get my head around the fact that the pressure is off. mental me is rubbing my hands together and saying, now what?

TODAY
day of good ol' lazy. woke up in the middle of the day. tried to go out for lunch. lunch became tea. got some stuff, waited for the rain to stop and ordered something neither of us wanted to eat just so we could sit down and the rain stopped immediately after we ordered. NEVERMIND. spm over. did some banking with daddy, came back and the battle began. it was a long hard battle and will last for the foreseeable future. through the sweat, blood and ache, i am at peace with myself because i know one day, with determination, my room will be clean.

and no i'm not exaggerating, its a fucking warzone. and it WILL actually take me a few days to clean everything (plus rewax my floor). and i'm not even exaggerating about the blood, my toenail is crazy mangled and disgusting. half of it has come off and my nail is seriously like chopped. like if i were a microorganism (orgaNIsm) and i was at the edge of my toenail to step forward would be jumping off a cliff. it looks retarded and hurts like mad.

had dinner at ten plus, dimsum (haha the irony) continued dragging a mop across my floor, showered and here i am.

winston:
lol you're going ns
and you can drive di
its a wonder you're still alive :D
soonyi
yeah no i'm deferring. if i wanted to waste my time for 3 months i'd do it at home where i won't die
and i can't drive. my dad's not letting me drive till i'm 40 cos he thinks its HIGHLY AMUSING.

NEVERMIND. spm over.

TOMORROW



















breakkie with yy and LIMYONGYING/suicidal harry potter. movie, either mulan or zombiesomething i don't even know what or princess and the frog. because jung the self proclaimed vulgar sponge i call a friend thinks its worth paying for a disney cartoon about, well surprise! a princess and a frog. NEVERMIND. spm over.

it'll be great, i know.



ps. STOP LEAVING, EVERYONE, I DULAN!

pps. wah omg damn long sorry i haven't quite lost the will after all heh.

ppps














picnik IS awesome!



who says i can't get stoned.

courage is the triumph of the soul

-anything you want, Jason Mraz

i know none of you care but I HAVE DOWNLOADED JASON MRAZ'S BEAUTIFUL MESS - LIVE ON EARTH.





basically its a live album from the gratitude cafe tour. and you know how mraz live > mraz studio :D



all the fuzzy, audience recorded versions of the songs i have from his live performances that i've grown to love are now technically kinda obsolete cos i have the clean professionally recorded versions now :D

happy happy joy joy. i almost feel like i'm there, but at the same time its no where near the real experience, honestly.

i feel like his voice is suffering from overuse though wtf.

how do you download a whole album on shitty connection?
forget to turn off your computer for a day. and a half.
i'm so sorry my lovely hunk.
of metal.

and since we're on this topic i might as well be shot of this.

i want a hula hoop!
and not the rattan kind, these shiny pretty ones!















from one mandy's hoop factory

okay la obviously i'm not that cool, i got it from jason's blog.




















it seems they've been taking up the hoops, they hula hoop in their free time on tour and apparently even on stage when they do Butterfly. i think he hoops when he sings how cool is that :D

he. has a knack of finding alot of these quirky, cool personal things.

and speaking of things i want,
off the top of my head, somewhat in order.

monday, 12.30pm to arrive like yesterday
during which time i will get into a car and get out of this place and into shopping :D :D
lots of awesome clothes and bags and shit
great time out with the girls and a boy (there for more than protection, i swear)
(kidding chuen. you know you're the bestbouncerhealthysnacker :D)
two hedgehogs (name ideas being sonic, knuckles, spike or durian :D)

just. to be able to breathe properly in my head again :)

lilmissgreen,

i love you but i'm telling you have too many inner demons! i'm glad you're sorting them out, untangling everything thread by thread (something i can never do to save myself) and finding your perspective in all of it. i just want you to remember in spite of it all, it is the journey that counts. keep your eyes wide open through it all, keep your senses engaged. its good to stop and ponder, like you say we all need assurance from time to time, in the laughter that erupts after our punchline is spoken, in the pauses for thought, in the leaning in of a person to better hear what you have to say. but when you think too hard, or stop to think too long, the average action of someone else to care diminishes to something no longer substantial - in steps doubt.

don't second guess. don't stop to analyse. don't replay situations in your head. don't allow room for distortion. don't let it settle and grow roots so deep its burned into the back of your mind. don't push, but don't let go. instead, keep going, keep remembering it will be okay, keep remembering there are so many people who love you, most importantly that you love yourself. in the eyes of many, including yourself, you are great. you don't take, you earn. you don't hold back, you give. you don't exist, you live. you don't need what you don't have, but you get it because you love someone and someone loves you back. relationships, regardless of what kind, ignite with the crossing of paths and the intertwining of roads. should your roads take you elsewhere, so be it, you have so much to look forward to. and you look forward to it eyes wide, senses plugged in.

in all your efforts, struggles and strife, promise me you will have fun. that you will, from the very bottom of a dark, deep well, look up. promise me you will get soaked to the bone, dart from shelter to shelter, break your heel and scrape your knee, and laugh at your silliness as you dust yourself off. needless to say, i will not be holding back any of my laughter when you recount your stories to me :)



wow, did i really just say all that?

____________________________________________________________________

random thought: my blog has shown no sign of activity for too long. mch people you're there right speak up la! no one cares about me anymore is it!

random thought: dled the fame monster too. my conclusion - lady gaga is a very kinky girl (she's a very kinky girl, the kind you won't bring home to mother, she's a superfreak! haha rick james) but she knows what she's doing and she has the balls (pun not intended) to do it and i will spare playlist slots only for her.

random thought: MCH CHINESE DAMN HARD CAN. paksa people to memorise 230 idioms and their meanings and their authors and the books in which they appeared so that we can answer what 5 questions??? don't even get me started on the ancient writings, might as well be reciting german can.

sigh.

must. keep. going.

















one day, one day.


meantime, bedtime.

love-ah-love-ah-love, love-ah-love-ah-love.

29 years ago today, we lost a working class hero.

Ever wondered what life in the eyes of John Lennon was like?

(actual essay written a while back)

It is a funny feeling, discovering the work of someone who simply isn't around anymore. Can you miss someone you never knew? It is the year 2009, and I'm only just beginning to appreciate artistes like Freddie Mercury, Elvis Presley, The Beatles and others. Although I have only seen seventeen mere rounds of the earth around the sun, I feel like I've gone the distance and back in terms of music experience. No longer do I get excited about pop music, I settle for the mellow sounds of the soulful. I do not live on the hype of multimedia and technicolors, but am fueled by the raw, uncorrupted strum of a guitar accompanied by lyrical genius. I listen to a very wide variety of genres, everything from rock to even classical and opera, because it is not the form that matters to me, it is the substance. Soulfulness is what draws me in, senses engaged.

But I digress. This feeling, when you discover something great but realize you will never get more of it is amazing, enlightening yet disheartening all at once. It's quite like the story of Van Gogh, I guess. His works were only appreciated after his death. Although I am not an art fanatic, I feel like I can relate to the tremendous gain and at the same time the ultimate loss felt by those who are passionate about his work. To me, John Lennon was an intriguing character. His upbringing in a broken family, his rebellion in school which led to his eventual dropout, his starting The Beatles and writing song after song of greatness, even his experimenting with drugs and eventual dropout from the band and society, only to return with twice the genius and twice the love he was known for, up until the day he was shot. He was a flamboyant man whose experiences made up every piece of him, and manifested in the form of his music. He was the definitive working class hero. His musical march for peace was a phenomenon that swept mankind off its feet, and I would have been honored to have been able to witness this.

Many believe John had lost it when he met Yoko Ono, but to me he was only beginning then. He was discovering a new part of him; one that loved when he was being loved, one that forgave his debtors (evident when he wrote the heartbreaking song, 'Mother'). I do not understand what all the fuss was about. If John loved Yoko, why should the world interfere with their ignorance and selfishness? If anything, it probably made everything more endearing to him, being the born rebel that he was.

I would love to have seen John Lennon continue his legacy. Would the world be any different? Would the troops of the United States of America be trespassing the land of Iraq, spreading 'democracy', disrupting the peace in a place they have no claim over, where they were never asked for? Would we let them? Would there be any soldiers willing to fight the battles of a war that isn't theirs to fight, had the songs they whistled while marching across the fields been about peace and love? Would the world be as blinded to the truth as we are today? Would we be as complacent? Would the world be more about giving than selling?

What was life like in the eyes of John Lennon, exactly?

Because some people are different from others, because humanity is a tragedy unfolding, because the good die young, because the truth is constantly swept under the rug, because life is never fair, because the struggle of man will never end, because justice never seems to prevail, because the stars will never align the way they should, because conspiracy envelops every aspect of life, because Chapman was a mentally unstable man in possession of a gun who read 'Catcher in the Rye', because of a million reasons we cannot begin to understand, we will never, ever know first hand.

We can only imagine.

Rest in peace, John Winston Lennon (9 October 1940 ~ 8 December 1980)

* meant to post this yesterday but connection was non existent.

help me to help myself.

-john lennon

whoever said accounts is a free A should be SLAYED.

because you. are a big. fat. lying. dragon. or vampire. or whatever it is people slay nowadays.

i know i've screwed it up, i know its gone.

and this is what its like to not even hope.

so stop being so happy around me, i can't stand it.

i'm not that big hearted.

rightful, textbook emotion: happy for others.
actual emotion: anything but.

i sound selfish, i'm conscious about it. but i know i'm not a selfish person, i'm a frustrated person.























i'm generally not emotional, i just hate to lose.

even if its something i hardly worked for.

in all my spite.
in all my spite, i'll turn it off.

how many villages could we save
how many lives could we illuminate?















































































































































































































































































































































































































































graduating class of 09'














thus ends a chapter of our lives.

standing at the crossroads, its unbelievable but true, soon lots of us will part ways.

but we look toward to new beginnings and new experiences. we look toward the horizon and keep going. we look toward what's ahead. we look forward.


and occasionally, we might look back at these memories, each one a bead on a never ending string of pearls and say



PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE INTERNET :D


in 10 years or so, we so better be reuniting and chilling some place, comparing wages and kids and cars and shoes and hair ah you all.

all you future doctors, be ready to fake all my MCs. all you bankers, make me some money. all you lawyers, prepare me a kick ass divorce case.

all you rich bitches and filthy bastards, just CALL ME :D




in the meantime, see you in school.

____________________________________________________________________

SPM, thou art such a royal pain, i long for thee to be over, so that thou may get thy ass out of my sight, and then i shall party til all eternity and never return home again. amen.

Lim Yan Yun's tenone commandments:

THOU SHALT NOT PUNCH THY ENEMIES.



oh and shut up :D

















<3
omg so lesbian.

somethin' like that.

this is a song about my love for tangerines
this is a song about my favorite colors
and this is a song for those who love their enemies
this is a song that meant to be read in the in betweens

and this-

and this is a song for the world i knew
they were trying to pull over you
yeah they were trying to

i always put a little mistake in a fairly new song, in case someone's taping it, its absolutely worthless to them.

and this is a song for all the boys who fight the war
this is a song for all those boys who didn't start the war
this is a song to all the girls worth fighting for
this is a song for the world that i'm down for

this is a song for the chance i take
and the rules they were trying to make
and the rules i choose to break
and this is the song for the mom and pop




i don't think anyone has the whole song. its amazing though :)

mind games.

upon reviving this blog i feared i wouldn't be able to keep it up very long.

but for the past 2 weeks or so however, to my surprise, i've been posting like 5 posts in 7 days?
i was like YEAH BABY, I'M ON FIRE!




now i find myself at a loss again. the heck.

so i'm just going to say whatever comes to mind lah.


so today right i was in megamall. dad and i were passing through jusco, and upon descending an escalator we saw like a GIANT THRONG of people crowding around a random space, and some dude's voice over the amplifier thingy yelling, like pasar. in the middle of a department store. wondering what was going on we went nearer to take a look. then in the occasional, rarely emerging gaps between aunties crammed shoulder to shoulder, i caught a glimpse of an arm strung with 4 handbags.


it was handbag happy hour! :D

benedetti polo handbags going at 80% discount, all for an hour only. remembering mom needed a new handbag, dad asked me to go and snatch a few options also. so i squeezed my way in and omg,

FREAKING WARZONE, I SWEAR.

these aunties damn ganas man! mun hak hei one! all you see are lots of hands sticking in the pile, grabbing and tossing, seriously like bloody lou sang like that, and laser eyes scanning the pile like mad scavengers.

and every 2 minutes or so, some guy will come with a giant box and yell EXCUSE ME STOK BARU and for about 5 seconds most of the hands will retract and he will pour a new box of bags into the pile and all the hands will start jabbing in again.

if you think aunties = lembik YOU'RE WROOONG.

it was total madness. one time i came out of the crowd to show daddy my pickings and we'd rate them together, and when i tried to force my way back in i had to attempt like 6 times from 6 different directions. fighting with aunties damn tiring man. duwan to be rude also cannot. i say excuse me no one choi me lol.

in the end, sweating slightly (in a mall!) i emerged with a few selections and dad and i settled on 2, one for me one for mom. mine was 179 bucks discounted to 36 bucks, mom's was 199 discounted to 40 bucks.

mine looks like this














only mine is new and in black, because i don't trust myself with white lol

cannot find one that looks like mom's, but we found her something simple and classy la.

so yeah, that was my friday afternoon, originally intended for studying. shit lah.

____________________________________________________________________

i think i'm getting old.

not in the white hair and wrinkles kinda old (though my joints always pain, like old creaky bones) but in terms of taste, percept, mindset and things like that.

i used to hate olives, now i love em. i hated bittergourd, lady's fingers, mustard, garlic, ginger, flat pumps and now i love them all. i don't like soft drinks (unless i'm really hot and sweaty, then its awesome) don't like fast food, don't like candy (haven't outgrown chocolate and ice cream though) i freakin snack on dried fruits, and drink chinese tea by the gallons. see. i eat old people food.

when i was working at reception of my ballet centre, i got to talking with quite a few parents. once, i spoke to this mother who was in advertising, whose daughter is now a friend of mine (summer gan, if you're reading this), and at the end of our conversation she asked me how old i was. when i told her i was 16, she was in shock, she said i sounded like i was 60.

what's wrong with me man, seriously!


and now i think of it. right now, i basically listen to three people alot.














































john lennon,












































freddie mercury,












































and jason mraz.

out of the three, 2 died before i was even born.





should i be worried?
