Cleo へ

Today's million-dollar question: Is eccentricity a defect?

*          *          *

Ola :) I blogged about the 9th, 10th and 11th in the previous post, by the way :) Before getting into the details of today's events, I'd like to wish one of my very good friends a very happy birthday.

Happy 16th Birthday Cleo! You're probably the youngest person I know (apart from Dellie but that one doesn't really count, does it? :P) in our form. I want you to know that you are a very annoying and irritating person the minute you open your mouth :P But that's also one of your very strong and good points.

These past... (starts counting)... eight years have been very rocky-road for all of us, but I'm glad to say that you've been a constant friend to me :) I mean, like I said, you're annoying, but I guess I can live with that.

For now -.-

Anyways, may your wishes and dreams come true. I hope you have a very wonderful birthday and I look forward to seeing you again next year (I think :P).

~#~#~#~#~

I woke up at...

Oh my God, it just happened today and I can't remember -.- Anyways, all I remember is that one of the first things I did today was wish Cleo happy birthday via phone.

Didn't have my shake today, although I did have some Essence of Knowledge -.- Bleghh~ Ooh, now I remember what I did. Spent the whole of my morning/afternoon writing that poem. It's part of the Ed board assignment I got from Josh. Have to at least start before I become a mad woman on the 30th.

Did I mention the deadline is on the 31st? -.-

God~

Had mi sua for lunch before going out to play with the two dogs again :) I set an alarm with my phone at 1:51p.m because my mom was having students again at 2 so the dogs have to be chained and caged before they come.

Bleghh~

Not so much for Snuffly, but Peps has to be in the cage or she'll run out the gates like a lunatic, looking like a mutated rat.

Speaking of Peps...

 

That's how bald she is, just in case you were wondering :) I was supposed to upload that picture eons ago but I kept forgetting. It'll take a while for her fur to grow back, but at least her problems would've been gone with time :)

The rest of the day was mostly just me using my sister's laptop to read manga. I've been obsessed with Tsukuba Sakura's works. She is an excellent and superb artist. I love her drawing style. The manga I'm currently reading is called Penguin Revolution. Not the best title to bestow upon a manga, but it's the story I'm interested in, not the title. If something was to be judged solely on its title alone, nobody would read Bleach.

:P :P

That's about it for today. Had the same thing for dinner what I had for lunch. But this time I had corn flakes too :P Am looking forward to tomorrow because I'll be out with Dellie watching movies :) Mwahaha. I finally get to watch Puss in Boots!! :P

Haha.

CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

*          *          *

Ola :) Blogged about the two previous days in the previous posts :)

Didn't wake up early again today -.- Aiseh~

Had shake for breakfast this time. I was in my sister's room using her laptop. I wanted to finish reading Beauty Pop :) I've read it before but I wanted to read it again. It's a manga, just in case you were wondering. I've reviewed it before. You can read it here :)

After that, I went downstairs to discuss with my mom where to have lunch. Eventually decided on one place. Went there with my mom, brother and my ex-teacher. Lunch wasn't that bad, but since the management changed hands, the place was so bare. Scarce of customers. It was much better before.

Oh well.

Came back after lunch and used either the laptop or computer again. I forgot which one it was, okay? Sheesh. Let my two dogs out in the garden sometime in the evening. The two of them are just so cute when they're playing with each other. Snuffles doesn't like it when Peps goes near her though -.- Understandable, since that retard always annoys her -.-

Speaking of Snuffly, she's better now. More hyper and all that. Our maid managed to get her to eat, but only if you put one of those dog treats into her bowl -.- Bleghh~

Had dinner with the whole family and my ex-teacher again. Dinner was alright. Fun. Lots of entertainment. Someone held a wedding dinner there, that's why. Not to mention someone in the next room was karaoke-ing. I think I nearly went deaf when the girl screeched the high-pitched notes.

Bleghh~

Sent my sister back after dinner before heading back ourselves. I watched Eragon before sleeping :) That's about it for today. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: What makes a good poem?

*          *          *

Ola :) I posted about the previous day in the previous post, by the way. I decided it was time to rekindle to blogging spirit before I never do -.-

I woke up at 12 -.- Not good, I know, but to be fair, I slept very late last night.

That's no excuse, but it'll have to do for now -.-

Since I had only 2 hours before my English tuition with the Madame, I did her work first. It was to find out what Robert Browning was doing and how he was feeling when he wrote "My Last Duchess". It's an absolutely fantastic poem. I love that poem a lot.

Then again, I haven't read many poems so I'm not qualified to say anything like it being my favourite.

Bleghh~

"My Last Duchess" - Robert Browning
That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall,
Looking as if she were alive. I call
That piece a wonder, now: Fra Pandolf’s hands
Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
Will’t please you sit and look at her? I said
“Fra Pandolf” by design, for never read
Strangers like you that pictured countenance,
The depth and passion of its earnest glance,
But to myself they turned (since none puts by
The curtain I have drawn for you, but I)
And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,
How such a glance came there; so, not the first
Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, ’twas not
Her husband’s presence only, called that spot
Of joy into the Duchess’ cheek: perhaps
Fra Pandolf chanced to say “Her mantle laps
Over my lady’s wrist too much,” or “Paint
Must never hope to reproduce the faint
Half-flush that dies along her throat”: such stuff
Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough
For calling up that spot of joy. She had
A heart—how shall I say?—too soon made glad,
Too easily impressed; she liked whate’er
She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.
Sir, ’twas all one! My favour at her breast,
The dropping of the daylight in the West,
The bough of cherries some officious fool
Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule
She rode with round the terrace—all and each
Would draw from her alike the approving speech,
Or blush, at least. She thanked men,—good! but thanked
Somehow—I know not how—as if she ranked
My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name
With anybody’s gift. Who’d stoop to blame
This sort of trifling? Even had you skill
In speech—(which I have not)—to make your will
Quite clear to such an one, and say, “Just this
Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss,
Or there exceed the mark”—and if she let
Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set
Her wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse,
—E’en then would be some stooping; and I choose
Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,
Whene’er I passed her; but who passed without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
As if alive. Will’t please you rise? We’ll meet
The company below, then. I repeat,
The Count your master’s known munificence
Is ample warrant that no just pretence
Of mine for dowry will be disallowed;
Though his fair daughter’s self, as I avowed
At starting, is my object. Nay, we’ll go
Together down, sir. Notice Neptune, though,
Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity,
Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!

Nice, right? It's got a lot of meaning too :) But you gotta read between the lines and all that. Absolutely fantastique.

:)

Anyways, after doing that, I did my Theory work. Bleghh~ Class was at 2:30p.m today because Madame came late. There was a lot of confusion regarding the time and whatnot -.- Lesson went well, nonetheless. Shortly before 4 o'clock, my brother came back from his driving school. He had just finished his 5-hour lecture at Surfine. He needs to go back for the test on the 15th.

Honestly, I'm too scared to think what he'll do once he gets behind the wheel. I don't wanna die so fast. I've got a long life ahead of me.

-.-

Bleghh~

Madame left at 4:30p.m, so I had to bloody rush to finish my Theory work, then go off to the office for my class. Lesson was okay. I got more homework, but it'll be alright for me because I won't be having lessons with them till next year.

Mwahaha :P

Thank God for my family dinners et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Haha.

After class, I went back home where I used the computer for a while before we all went out for dinner with my grandpa, aunt and uncle from PJ. Had it at the restaurant near the Shell station. Nice, as always. We then went to buy apung from the night market after dinner then proceeded to send my sister off to Bangi for her camp.

I was supposed to go but I stayed at home. She probably resents me a little for that, but oh well :P

Went to sleep at 12 something :) That's it for the 10th. Will blog about yesterday in the next post :) CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: What is insensitivity?

*          *          *

Ola :) Yes, I've finally decided to blog again. Makes it easier on me to blog on-the-go and I didn't like using my iPad to blog so...

Yup, you guessed it. I am currently using my sister's laptop. Sorry I logged out of your Google account, Che :P

Anyways, this post is about Friday. I woke up late, as usual, and I can't remember if I had shake for breakfast or not -.- That's happening quite frequently lately. Me not having my shake, I mean. Since the Singapore trip I've been a very bad girl :(

Trust me, I'm working on that.

-.-

To be honest, I also can't remember what I had for lunch.

*Enter: first bar of Beethoven's 5th*

Bleghh~ Well, I can remember what happened the rest of the day. Probably because it involved me booking tickets for a movie whilst my sister attended a concert later on. Wanted Puss In Boots so badly but the only showtime they had that day was 5:15p.m (which was the time I logged on to check -.-) and 9:20p.m (which would've been too late). Tried checking the 3D one but it did nothing to help because the only showtime they had for that was at 11 something and unless my sister was planning to leave me in KLCC that night, it wasn't going to happen.

-.-

So for the next hour or so, I was on YouTube, checking trailers of all the possible movies I could watch whilst my sister was in DFP. Finally settled on Arthur Christmas, since it seemed the most suitable for me. (New Year's Eve was reserved for when I was with my family and I wasn't keen on The Muppets.)

Used my sister's credit card (cheh~ :P) to buy the tickets online first. Not long after, I took a bath and we left for KLCC. First thing we did was meet up with Pascal, who was also attending the concert with my sister. After we got him, we went to the food court to have a light dinner. I had my usual Meatball Carbonara from Cafe Milano. My sister didn't eat anything. Pascal had McD.

Left them halfway because I had to collect my ticket. It was 8:00++ at that point of time.

Speaking of the ticket... -.- boy, was it dramatic. Okay, it went like this: I went up to the ticket counter and all that, got out my iPad (because I had keyed in all the numbers I thought would be of importance when I was going to collect the ticket), and showed him all of them so he could pick the right one and gimme my ticket, right?

All the numbers turned out void. I have no friggin' idea what the hell was wrong with it. I even showed him my sister's credit card but no reservations were made with that card, apparently.

Technically, I was left with no movie ticket and I paid RM15 for nothing.

So in the end, I had to purchase another ticket for the same movie at the same time for RM14. Complete waste of my money.

The drama don't end there, of course -.-

I still had half an hour to spare, so I just stood around one of the pillars there and watched the trailers they were showing. Just then, I felt the urge to check my mail. I knew that after booking the stuff I'd get an email because that's what the website said, right? But they had already given me some info after I reserved the ticket online, so I thought the email would just be a repeat.

Whoa, you could imagine my relief-cum-shock when I saw the Booking ID (which was what the guy what asking for). Immediately, I went up to the counter again and tried to clear things up with the dude. The convo went somewhere among these lines:

Me: The Booking ID you're talking about is this, right? (shows him the iPad email)
Guy: Yeah, it's this one.
Me: Is it too late to change?? (at this point, the guy's already shaking his head)
Guy: Sorry, miss, I can't do anything.
Me: Please, please, please, just this once? (at this point, he's looking around)
Guy: Let me check. (he leaves the counter and talks with some guy) Give me your ticket.

I gave him my ticket, he keyed in the Booking ID into the computer, then gave me my ticket and the RM14 I paid. I thanked him endless and then went for the movie.

Woo~ I felt like a complete boob for not opening the mail first -.-

In the cinema, I switched my phone off (like EVERYBODY should do, instead of just switching their phones to silent mode, when watching a movie) and waited.

The movie was alright. Funny, at the very least. But I didn't know until yesterday that James McAvoy was the voice of Arthur. Haha. So cute :P Oh, and Hugh Laurie was the voice of his brother, Steve.

Haha.

So cute :P

The movie ended at around 10:21p.m and after getting out of the cinema, I switched my phone on. Not long after, I got a message from my sister saying Pascal was an ass. Instantly I thought, Oh my God, what did that bastard do now? as I made my way to DFP.

My sister was already done. We hung around a little more before leaving for home. That was when my sister told me what Pascal did.

Came back, used my iPad for a while, then went to sleep :) That's about it for today. CIAO!!

P/S/S: Honestly, I know you're eccentric, but there should be a limit to how insensitive you can be, you know? Don't use your over-exaggerated eccentricity to mask your stupidity, understand? Don't act so high-and-mighty just because you have a few merits.

We Are Young - Glee + D

Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
Getting higher than the empire state
My lover she's waiting for me
Just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
Asking 'bout a scar
And I know I gave it to you months ago

I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

And I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
But our friends in back
So let's raise a toast
Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let's the set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight

The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

Do They Know It's Christmas - Glee + D

It's christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy!
Throw your arms around the world at christmas time

But say a prayer - pray for the other ones
At christmas time

It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window

And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank god it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in africa this christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Here's to you
Raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's christmas time at all?
Yeaaah

Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time

Ours - Taylor Swift + D

Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me wanna take
the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their
vacant stares
But right now, my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who
disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me
and you
And the verdict comes from those with
nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high
The waters rough
But this love is ours

You never know what people have up
their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at
me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss
smiles
But I don't care, cause right now you're
mine

And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high
The waters rough
But this love is ours

And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and your hands are tough
but they are where mine belong and
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
with this song for you

Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father
about your tattoos will be ignored
Cause my heart is yours

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high
The waters rough
But this love is ours

Wherever You Will Go - Boyce Avenue *The Calling* + D

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face

If a greater wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall
And fall upon us all
Well then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go

Pretending - Finn and Rachel *Glee* + D

Face to face and heart to heart
We're so close, yet so far apart
I close my eyes i look away
That's just because i'm not okay

But i hold on, i stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
Will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be pretending

How long do i fantasize
Make believe that it's still alive
Imagine that i am good enough
And we can choose the ones we love

But i hold on, i stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
Will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be

Keeping secrets safe
Every move we make
Seems like no one's letting go
And it's such a shame
Cause if you feel the same
How am i supposed to know

Will we ever say the words we're feeling
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
Will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be (pretending)
Will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be (pretending)
Will we a-a-a-always a-a-a-always a-a-a-always be pretending
