Some days ago I was planning to change the blogskin, since it's been a long time since the last change. But then I'll spend hours editing this and that and whatnot, and I got discouraged. So anyway I've been rotting in front of the TV. There's the usual "Desperate Housewives", "Ugly Betty", "Friends" (re-runs), and now there's "Amazing Race: All Star".
And I've picked up mapling again. I have got to get out of "noobness", though I suspect that it may be something I'll carry with me even to level 100 (if I can even get there).
Oh and I'm going overseas again. Ah... a jetsetter's lifestyle. Haha... who am I kidding here, it's only Malaysia. Still, gotta pack! Soon I'll be back here again, unpacking and telling tales of travel. Until then, ciao!

Goodness, I haven't blogged for the longest time. I haven't been online for days on end. I just switch on the computer every now and then for a spell, to find 20-something emails, half of which is pure junk.
I have lost interest in mapling for quite awhile now, which is good timing because I heard that there's this apparent "rollback".
So what have I been doing? Not much, besides playing the piano and reading. I know, that's so prim-and-proper-ish and... ladylike. But I like being ladylike once in a while. These days, it's such a rare thing and hence I like it all the more.
Oh, I wish that I can be all gentle and soft-spoken and everything all the time. CK's always telling me that I'm bullying him with my hot temper. Anyway there you go: a living testament proving that men prefer the soft type of women.
But it's so difficult to be like that all the time. Of course it's really easy when I'm in a good mood, but even then, I can't be that kind of girl with beguiling fragility. My self-esteem is a bit too healthy, so I guess I may come across as being strong and proud or something like that. Which makes you wonder what I'm like when I'm not in a good mood.
Hey, I actually like flying into a fiery rage occasionally. Not that I deliberately find something to be angry about. A lot of things in this world make me angry enough as it is. And when I do get angry, it's sure a whole lot healthier to scream it out then to bottle it up inside, the way some silly people do.
Yes, yes, I am aware that sometimes I just appear absolutely off-whatever-it-is. But mind you, I haven't all the time in the world to be politically correct or hypocritical.
Speaking of hypocritical, Avril Lavigne is now all blonde and girly and pop. And she calls herself a rock chick. Now she's dancing in her too-tight T-shirt and fishnet stockings. Nevertheless, her new song is really catchy! Here are the lyrics:
Girlfriend
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
[Verse 1]
You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about ya all the time
You're so delicious
I think about ya all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know what I could do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious
And Hell Yeah
I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right
[Bridge]
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
[Verse 2]
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again
(And again and again and again!)
[Bridge]
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
[Rap]
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?!
[repeat]
[Chorus (repeat)]

Yep, so that's it. I like this song a lot. I'm going to screech this out when it comes out in KBox or some other karaoke place. Give them, 10 years. The English songlist is seriously behind the times.
What's not ladylike about my behaviour these days, is that I've been spending scandalously long hours watching TV. I'm watching "Ugly Betty", which isn't half-bad, just shallow, but I don't expect much from a comedy so it's entertaining enough. One of my favourite shows "Desperate Housewives" is back, and I absolutely love it. The women look so immaculate all the time! And I've watched the last two episodes of "Nip/Tuck".
I can't say I've enjoyed the show, because it's far too terrifying to be enjoyed. But it's a thought-provoking, nightmare-inducing, generally remarkable piece of work. And it does seem to be a "piece of work" on so many levels. While the show is very engaging, I cannot say that I like it because it half-scares me out of my seat.
Moreoever, it further reaffirms my stand that I will never volutarily get plastic surgery. And I used "voluntarily" because (touch wood) should some kind of freak accident occur, I would like to have a normal life thereafter, looking like how I usually do. Well, then it really is reconstructive surgery done out of necessity, not out of vanity.
Okay, so maybe a bit of vanity involved. But I'm only human, and a arguably young one at that, so I'll be harmlessly frivolous for as long as I can afford to. I fear it wouldn't be too long, because soon I'll be heading towards a university. Hopefully I am going to one. I feel old.
No no no no no. I won't have old age, or even adulthood, knocking on my door of life too soon. But I'm going to be 19, and the big two-zero is around the corner and down the road. Bah! Kill-joy!
Oh yeah, the NTU and NUS open houses were pretty decent. The only trouble is the distance. But it's alright. Anyway there were balloons at both open houses. Helium balloons. And in all my craziness, I experimented the helium thing on myself. The NTU balloons didn't work, but the NUS ones did, with the most hilarious results. My helium voice is so funny! I wonder if those cute cartoon voices on TV were spoken after the voice actors inhaled helium.
And a belated happy 2 years and 4 months anniversary to CK and me!
Our anniversary was on Sunday. After hopping around NUS, CK and I went to Zhenbin's house and mapled a bit. It was mostly CK playing, since I lost interest. I only played a bit, mostly to show off my maple riches and funny bits of junk that I keep. After that, CK and I went to Tampines Swimming Complex to dine at "Nikon Muza", this really quaint Japanese place. The stuff is pretty okay, and good value for money.
Yummy vanilla ice-cream, with bits of fruit and almonds. When I have my kids I'm going to serve them ice-cream with lots of fruit.
So this is it. Wow, I haven't had such a long entry in recent memory. On certain occasions, I quite welcome my crazy ranting spells that lead to long blog entries in which I type rubbish. But it's fun.

CCB
Nope, I'm not swearing, though I might as well be. "CCB" refers to my 'A' Level grades. B for Maths, Cs for Econs and Lit. Oh well. But I got an A2 for GP! That makes a nice consolation prize for my otherwise crappy grades.
So where am I headed? I have no idea at the moment. The good thing is, I can get somewhere, so no worries for that. Yeah.
Oh by the way, my new tooth is really another wisdom tooth.
So I guess for the next few days I'll just be busy with the registration and what-nots. Then there'll be the open houses. Then I'll be packing my bags and going off to Penang again for my grandfather's birthday party, and then come back and drag my ass into another job.
Life really does go on. Bleagh.
