Finally decided to sit down and update my blog. This post is a month’s worth so no complains if I slack off for a whole month. (Yes, I know I’m an irresponsible blogger.) I’ve decided to split it into a few mini-posts for it is quicker and easier to read that way.
Subject: Puan Vijaya
Puan Vijaya’s daughter has recently passed away at the young age of 18 due to a puncture in the heart. Puan Vijaya is a teacher from my school and personally, I think she’s one of the best teachers around. I was shocked when I heard the news and I think that we should all pay her some respect and cooperate with her. It’s the least we could do. I wish to offer my deepest condolences to her.
Subject: Awful Feeling
Have you ever said something out loud without much thought and consideration and therefore insulting and hurting someone else’s feelings? I have and recently too. Seems like I just can’t keep my mouth shut sometimes. Then you get this awful feeling of guilt hanging over you and you just feel so bad. I feel horrid. Even though the person I insulted and put down so terribly wasn’t someone I like very much but still, I hate this feeling. I don’t know whether that person still remembers this but god, I feel like such a stupid and horrible and petty person. Tried to say sorry but just couldn’t gather the courage to say it properly. I sounded silly when I said it so obviously the person refused to acknowledge it.
Oh, if only I wasn’t such a petty and calculative person!!! Then, I would never have insulted that person so badly. And to top it off, I said it in front of his mother!!! I really don’t deserve to live anymore. But I’m really sorry for what I said and I realize how much it would have hurt that person but I can’t take it back. The only way is to try my best and make amends.
Subject: Books
Recently went to this book sale and it was awesome. Rekindled my love for books that I abandoned a while ago. Bought a few books for like RM10 each. I was so pleased. The books I bought were rather new ones like “Everyone worth Knowing” from the author who wrote “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Where Rainbows End” by Cecilia Ahern. I also bought two others that looked interesting titled “My Desperate Love Diary by Kelly Ann” that was written by Liz Rettig and “Bergdorf Blondes” by Plum Skyes. I also saw “The Undomestic Goddess” by Sophie Kinsella, the author who wrote the fantastic “Shopaholic” series but didn’t buy it because it was RM18. I regretted it instantly because all these books are being sold for RM30 – RM40 elsewhere. And the books were in good condition and were totally new, not second-hand. Regret it. Also bought some “The Simpsons” comic books that can’t be found anywhere else, well at least I think so.
So I read one of the books (the only one I’ve read so far) and it was a pretty good read. I read “My Desperate Love Diary by Kelly Ann” by Liz Rettig. It was the typical yet entirely loveable storyline. It was about this girl, Kelly Ann, who likes this guy, G. She is so convinced that G is meant for her and that G is a wonderful person. It was so obvious that G was a complete jerk who only wanted her for sex but she just never realized it. How stupid. Her friends and everyone around her can see what a useless idiot G is but she seems to see past it all and claims that G is misunderstood by others. She has this guy friend, Chris, who’s very close to her. Chris has liked her for ages and it’s so very clear that he likes her. Everyone can see it. Furthermore, Chris is a very good-looking and sought-after boy in school. But somehow, this stupid girl is so oblivious to it and never realized it. Still, she ends up with Chris in the end and happy ending as always.
After reading this book, it made me think. Is it possible for one to be so unconscious and unaware of the truth? The truth that your guy friend loves you and your crush is nothing but an egoistic and unworthy guy. It seems kind of hard to miss, doesn’t it? I don’t think that there are still girls that ignorant out there. But you know, I wouldn’t mind being that girl. Not one bit.
Subject: Geography and History Folio
My Geography and History Folio Current Status: Untouched. I’ll start working on it. One day, I will. Anyway, if you have any information about the folio and all, please tell me. I'd appreciate it!
Subject: Sloth
Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins and I am aware that this is one of my biggest sins. I just love to procrastinate and push everything off till the last hour or more accurately, the last second. I studied for my March test the day before every subject. Stayed up for three days straight cramming and the day before my History exam, I brought my History textbook to the restaurant when I had dinner with my family. Got to cure this habit. I am also guilty of another deadly sin, gluttony. Got to stop eating non-stop or I’ll become a big fat hippopotamus. I’ve got half a mind to go anorexic but just love food so darn much. Arghh, the agony of it all.
Subject: Life and How Meaningless It Is
I am slowly starting to believe that William Shakespeare’s poem, “Life’s Brief Candle” that I studied during Form 1. Oh tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow. How dreary life can be at times. Why can’t I be like those people on TV or in books and discover some magical power or discover a new world brimming with magic or something? Life’s but a walking shadow, quote William Shakespeare. It really is so unreal. I am satisfied with life in a way but I am really bored with it. It is nothing but a brief candle after all.
Subject: Hideous Blogskin
I despise my blogskin. There’s something wrong with it, I know. I will change it. Sooner or later, that is. (Yes, I am an irresponsible blogger. I’ve said this twice already.)
Subject: Wish List
If anyone paid any attention, you will notice that I have a wish list on the left side of my blog. And you will most probably notice that nothing has been striked off yet. The thing is, I don’t know the HTML code and I don’t have a clue on how to strike anything off. Help, please.
Subject: Saturday
Can’t wait for Saturday. Can’t wait to get to Times Square. Been dying to go there for ages. I want to sit down in Borders and read manga in English. And there’s an anime shop, a really big anime shop, I want to visit. Yay!! Also want to go shopping but that’s highly unlikely as I’m going with my dad and you can’t but clothes with your dad, unfortunately.
Subject: Holiday Mood
Oh, school is starting soon and I am dreading it. I am already in full-fledged holiday mood and am already acting like I’m finished with my PMR. Save me!!!
Subject: Youtube Addict
I have been watching Youtube for days and am addicted to it. I watch Ouran High School Host Club all day long. I’ve already got someone to burn the entire show for me but it’s taking too long. So Youtube’s like the alternative. Youtube is pretty slow at times but can be lightning fast once in a while so it all depends on your luck. The screen is tiny but I’m practically living on Youtube. What’ll I do without it?
Subject: New Computer, Hopefully
I was walking around Imbi Plaza the other day. Imbi Plaza’s like a haven for computer stuff. It has got everything and has the best prices in town. And it’s so crowded. Had to wade through a gigantic crowd just to look around. But it was all worth it as my dad seemed to gain an interest in new computers so I just might be getting one. I’ll just keep my fingers crossed. And I also bought a USB LAN so I can finally use Streamyx. Finally, I’m no longer stuck with 12 kb per second TMNet dial-up connection.
Subject: Recent Purchases
I finally bought the entire 70 episodes of Card Captor Sakura on DVD!!! I don’t even know why I’m mentioning this but I’m watching it all day long. I’m going to fail my PMR at this rate.
My two absolute favourite pictures of Sakura and Syaoran from Card Captor Sakura.
Subject: Anything New, Perhaps?
The subject speaks for itself. Anything new happening? Please, tell me something. It’s deathly boring nowadays. Need to get my hands on some fresh and new gossip.
Subject: Lack of Pictures
My blog is rather boring for it lacks of pictures, doesn’t it? I’m going to work on that.
Subject: Running Out of Subjects
I’m spamming here. Can’t think of anymore subjects. Wait, let me refresh my memory on what’s been going on in my dull and uninspiring life.
Subject: Japanese
I am highly interested in learning Japanese but can’t seem to find somewhere near my house to learn Japanese, sadly. Sometime I really do regret moving so far away. But I’ve been picking up a few words here and there from anime, mostly. Example, ‘yume’ means dream and ‘hime’ means princess. It’s not much but I’m learning. Also, I noticed that Japanese people often address people in different ways. Example, let’s say the person is named Reika and I hear them saying ‘Reika-san’ or ‘Reika-chan’ or ‘Reika-kun’. Can anyone enlighten me on the difference between ‘-san’, ‘-chan’ and ‘-kun’?
Subject: Childhood Friends of the Opposite Sex
I looked through one of the books I bought at the sale (as mentioned earlier) and found it very nice and heart-warming. The title of the book is “Where Rainbows End” by Cecilia Ahern and its about two childhood friends, Alex and Rosie. They’ve known each other since they were five and remain the best of friends even though they’re already 30. They care a lot about each other and know each other so well. They share their secrets, experiences in life. They both mean the world to each other and are in love with each other but only realized it much later. It’s so sweet and makes me wish I had a childhood friend like that. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a childhood of the opposite sex who’d stay with you through thick or thin and is always there for you?
Subject: Friends of the Opposite Sex
I don’t really have guy friends but I have a lot of girl friends. You know, guy friends are actually in some ways better than girl friends because they are more frank and will say what’s on their mind. And they are usually very protective of you and will stand up for you. It’s not that girl friends are no good but guy friends have their own advantages too. Still, appreciate all your friends and if you have girl and guy friends then that’s even better. I really wish I had a guy friend, not just any guy friend, someone who’d actually listen to what I say and tell me about his experiences. Think about it, it’s really different than having friends of the same sex.
Subject: People Who Only Approach You When They Want Something from You
There are people like that and I know people like that. They won’t talk to you unless they want a favor from you. They’d suddenly walk up to you out of the blue and ask you how you are. Then, they’d slowly bring up the topic of the favor they want to ask of you and then, you find yourself doing it. Has happened to me loads of times. However, I am very proud to say that I have discovered a way to beat this people at their own game. When they begin to ask you to help them, interrupt them and ask they to help you with something instead!!! Then they’ll have to help you and trust me, they’ll never attempt to ask you for another favor. Isn’t it the most fool-proof way ever? Hahaha, now that person is helping me do something whilst I sit back and relax.
Subject: Of Pimples and Dark Eye Rings
I hate pimples. My skin sucks. I’ve got dark eye rings so deep and so dark I just feel like a darn panda bear. Sorry. Allow me to whine and drone on and on about my lousy skin quality.
Subject: The Coolest Thing Ever
There’s this girl in Singapore who makes a living out of blogging. She’s really famous and her blog gets about 20000 hits a day. People are paying her to place ads on her blog. How fun!!! Her blog address is http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/ , I think. Wish I could make a living like that. Haha, dream on, Min Xian, dream on.
Subject: Ouran High School Host Club
