Stuck On The Superficial

It's easy to think that life would get better if you were one of the pretty people. That the skinny bitches have it easier.

But it sure helps to be a nice person on the inside too.

Too bad im neither.

I have to stop thinking that i have to give up on people before they give up on me. I have to stop doing horrible things to other people and give them a chance to leave me so that i can say "hur see i knew this wasnt going to last anyway.."

Long story.. But strange defence mechanisms we humans have isnt it?

Hiatus from people until i find myself. It might take 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years.

Lol but i dont intend to make myself uncontactable xD ill still need human contact, just nothing face to face.

Lucky Phoebe ;p she scores the last outing that im planning to go for.

Beautiful World by Utada Hikaru

It's only love

If I can be granted just one wish
Please let me sleep next to you. Any place is fine.
Beautiful world
Without regrets, my eyes are only on you.
Beautiful boy
You don't know yet, just how beautiful you are.

It's only love

Whether you're sleeping or awake
You just dream of shounen manga. Don't you like yourself?

You don't know what you want,but you can't stop wanting.
Lukewarm tears roll down your cheeks.

I have nothing I want to tell you
I just want to meet you again.
I can't say what I want to tell you
Maybe I'm just a coward.
But that's alright too.

If I can be granted just one wish
Please let me sleep next to you. Any place is fine.
Beautiful world
Without regrets, my eyes are only on you.
Beautiful boy
You don't know yet, just how beautiful you are.

It's only love

No matter what it is, give everything a try.
Even if you get hurt, it's a valuable experience.

I don't need newpapers.
The important things are not printed there.
How are you doing recently?
If you are fine
Then that's good I guess.

If I can't meet you before my world ends
Please let me sleep next to you. Any place will do.
Beautiful world
As these fleeting days pass by
Beautiful boy
It's natural to feel whimsical.

If I can be granted just one wish
Please let me sleep next to you.


I may not like Evangelion, but I like Utada Hikaru =)
Presenting the main theme of Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0: You are (not) alone.

It's a little unfair that things turned out this way.. But maybe fate will bring something different in the future. I still believe in the red thread of fate, the unmei no akai ito.

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle,
but it will never break."

And in the meantime, every song I'll ever sing will be for you.

Shadow of Love by Olivia inspi' REIRA

A promise ring
Our red thread
Now I can't see it
There's no promise

Don't let go of my hand
The truth is just sad
Stay like this

Trust in me
Even if we come apart
The memories won't let our bond disappear
Will you trust in me
You can see the stars I trace with my fingertip, can't you?

For the first time, I can tell you
Without looking away
In my eyes
You're the one
I believe I can overcome
Even this dangerous world
With you

Trust in me
As the dawn comes
To each of our skies
Will you trust in me
We can see each other
Time and time again in our dreams

Trust in me
Even if we come apart
The memories won't let our bond disappear
Will you trust in me
You can see the stars I trace with my fingertip, can't you?



For once, i like the english translation a little better than the romanji version. Why are all the songs from the NANA soundtrack so sad?

I can't decieve myself.

It's playing on the imeem player, so wait for the load. I hope it doesnt screw up like the lenny kravitz song =/

Retraction

Hmm right, so please excuse the previous two childish, ranting posts. Im eating my words now, shoveling them like cereal in spoonfuls.

My befuddled mind refuses to register any semblence of realistic thought. I am indeed being very childish about this but just allow me this privillege alright? Let me make up my fantasies that i can selfishly choose what i want to do with my life without a care in the world. Let me dream of a reality far away from this one, where i am restricted in any way. And let me do this without your crushing words of advice, that talk of things too alien for me to comprehend.

I'm going away for a while. In the mean time, ill let autopilot take over to carry out the mundane tasks like showing a happy-fuckin'-cheerful facade to the world and interacting with people, esp those bursting with questions and advice on what a 4A student should do.

OH like cmon im sure 4 is a big deal larh.. Nothing like a healthy dose of reality in the newspapers to show me my place. Bet it only happens in singapore that good students like jonathan and yinghao have to worry about getting their first choice. YAY GO TEAM FUCKING SINGAPORE.

Hope is the food of humanity. Take that away and all you get are hollow shells devoid of meaning and happiness. Click yes for a future. Click no for a life.


Lol this made me laugh today though.. Haha doesnt watari look so cute hahaha and matsuken looks damn spiffy is a suit x)x)x)x)x)

Till im ready to face the world.. Ciaossu.

Life's Little Ironies

i dont want i dont want i dont want i dont want i dont want i dont want i dont want i dont want i dont want i dont want

I DONT EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER DOING COURSES I DONT GIVE HALF A RAT'S ASS ABOUT CAN YOU PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT?!? No matter how good the prospects are if i take a pharmacists degree or a business degree i seriously DONT WANT TO STUDY ANY MORE THINGS THAT I DONT WANT TO ANYMORE!!!!!

PLEASE OMG PLEASE STOP IT I DONT WANT. IM NOT BEING INFLEXIBLE, I JUST DONT WANT TO REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

i want to shoot my mother

I want to curl up in a corner to cry.

And We All Fall Down

I can't make it into NUS law.

Like seriously. CCA counts for nothing and my four subjects count for nothing.

There is an alternative to explore though. Take first year life sciences then apply for law double degree after getting a 700 SAT score at the end of this year.

But that doesnt even guarantee you a place in the faculty of law. It just shortlists you. So if i dont get in, im stuck in life sciences for 4 years. Or simply put, i would be fucked.

So what's the point of getting four As?

Banking everything on SMU. Not gonna apply for NUS or NTU at all.

I feel defeated. My results count for nothing now. I dont even know what to do with my life anymore.

Criminal Intent

It just got a little harder to compel myself to apply for universities and scholarships. Impending deadlines + laziness to write about my ideals + non-conformist ideals to begin with + no idea what the hell i want + insane amount of things to do = stressed out = memories of alevel mugging.

Just goes to show that life doesnt get easier as you live it, it just gets more complicated with each step. Hah so all those thoughts of life getting better after you cross a certain roadblock is complete and utter bullshit. But human nature is a funny thing and no matter how much we know that such thoughts are rubbish, we continue to feed ourselves with them =)

I really really dislike adults who act big to bully younger people. I dislike them even more when they have the same sheep-to-the-slaughterhouse, follow-rules-till-we-roll-over-and-die mentality and force it on other people. But he probably got a bitter aftertaste in his mouth after messing with me and huimin, so i really hope this horrible man doesnt do it again. The best thing about the whole incident was that I didnt utter a SINGLE swear word in front of him at all and still i managed to win the argument. Lol huimin are you impressed?? xD LOL i think she was really scared of getting beaten up or something.. Hahahahahahaha maybe i shouldnt be too defiant when other people are around >.< But no larh, in this case i really think we were getting picked on and theres nothing wrong with speaking up to defend oneself. At least i didnt swear

OOOO and i think someone is more manipulative and sneaky than i originally imagined.

And yes, im going to leave that cryptic little message as it is. Ask, and i may tell.

Petty Clashes and Gruesome Fetishes

Wheeeee yet another pic spam post to entertain any readers that lurk behind their dimly-lit computer screens =x It's not just becoz i'm too lazy to type anything (heyy my pic spam posts are usually qte wordy too!) but as a special request by wenxiu to see the redness that is my newly pierced ears.. Lol and for anybody who didnt get to see the four new earholes in swensons.

And no they don't hurt as much as they look hehe =)

Right ear now has three earholes haha obviously the freshly pierced ones are above the silver stud.. See the pretty blue and green? No red xD

Left ear looks like its got two only but on a closer look youll notice one pink colour stud winking at you at the top lmao. Yeah it still looks red after a couple of days arh but.....

See! I can touch it without like dying from pain.. Hmm ok fine maybe thats not a good gauge coz i have an abnormally high threshold for pain.. Hahaha and not just any kind, only the piercing type =)

And since im uploading pics from my phone, here's some on Gaara's first trip to orchard.. Hopefully the first of many many!! But i keep forgetting to remove him from the cupboard

His first encounter against a giant chicken pasta salad.. Gaara vs the Leaf ninja from the salad!!! Gaara pwnz0rz all nuubz f34r his l33t!!!!!1! lol omgosh forum lingo is killing me hahahahahahaha

But when Gaara find himself being ambushed from behind by an enemy twice his size, he....

summons his ultimate absolute defence that is impenetrable by ANY attack.. Even from the giant chocolatey, alchoholic-cherried cake =)

And thats all for today folks~

Black Rock Spiral

*jumps around excitedly in the office while screaming my throat hoarse*

You know the feeling you get when you are let in on a juicy secret and you are tempted to spill the beans to everyone you know? Where the knowledge threatens to burst forth from you and you just want to shout and tell the whole world..

I'M IN A BAND.

I'm actually going to be a vocalist in a band. A proper jrock band with 2 guitarists, a keyboardist, a bassist and a drummer. omgomgomg how major is that?

Erm now i just have to figure out how to go for weekly jamming sessions without my parents knowing.

And i wonder why i wasnt this excited when i was recieving my results.

Rainbows On a Rainy Day

4 As and 1 C.

Am i satisfied? Yes.

Am i confident? No.

Never in my whole 2 years in VJC have a gotten a single A for any common tests or exams, the most i have ever managed was a solitary B for biology. To say that i was scraping the bottom of the barrel wouldnt have been too far from the truth. So i'm not gonna be a whiny bitch and complain about that single grade that missed the mark when i know others have got it worse. (sorry jasm, yh, jon and zr for whining initially, i was still in denial)

Getting this is alr surpassing expectations, both my teachers' and my parents'. My mum only expected 2As at the very most and my dad doesnt even expect me to get a single one. I'm used to this, smashing up peoples expectations, and ill do it again and again all my life if i have to. I'll find a way. I dont care how but ill do it. I got my four new earholes and i'll just have to see what comes next.

It's damn easy to say that i can choose another school or another course if i dont get what i want. But in the long run, is that what's gonna make me happy? If i get stuck in a dead end job, doing the same thing everyday, not being useful to the world, would i end up bitter like my colleague sitting behind me? Would i hate myself for putting myself into a fishbowl? Will i lose the meaning of being alive? Will i lose sight of the ideals that mean everything to me? Would i be like Kiyoha, doing something meaningless to me, ending up trapped in something i dont care for and yearning forever for the taste of freedom and happiness?

Becoz even if it means i have end up a starving artist, id rather have pursued something i liked and enjoyed, and found some kind of happiness.. I can't be trapped, i refuse to be. I'll do something i want to. I know i can't enjoy taking NTU science or SMU accounting.. Its not something i care for and theres no bloody way ill stay interested for all the 4 years it takes to get my degree. So yes, im gonna give my all and try NUS law. If that doesn't work out, ill find another way to get my happiness.

My mum wasnt too pleased with the earholes but i couldnt care less. Even if i have to pay for a new handphone on my own now, nothing can beat that feeling of liberation that came with each crunch of the piercing gun.

To be completely honest, this whole results fiasco doesnt seem to be so important to me anymore. Of course id be crushed and disappointed if i got shit grades.. But i know now its in no way a number one priority in my life. Its as if, in the past 3 months, a pandora's box was opened and the contents cannot be returned in its entirety into the box. My mindset has changed.. I know strongly now that ill only be happy if i can sing in a band. In fact i WANT TO WITH EVERY FIBRE OF MY HEART. But its a difficult life and my parents will never accept it. So where does that leave my true happiness?

Zhiren, the reason why i would trade grades with you is not that lame-ass excuse of wanting to get my parents off my back. (theres no way id ever be able to do that in case you hadnt alr noticed) But becoz i know you want to get into medicine and i know you sure as hell ought to be the one with the 4As. Not some naive dreamer who doesnt want to have anything to do with university. But somehow that explanation just didnt seem to work when i typed it in sms. So.... Sorry.

Sakuran


If i had to choose one word to describe this film, that word would be gorgeous. Watched this on Tuesday, completely unsubbed, meaning i had to interpret the whole movie according to the Japanese dialogue and the acting.

Sakuran is based on the manga of the same name by Moroco Anno. Set in the Yoshiwara pleasure district, Kiyoha (played by Anna Tsuchiya) is a tenacious young girl who claws her way up from lowly apprentice to oiran of her pleausre house. But somehow i dont think she wanted the title and the power to begin with. What she truly wanted was freedom.

The movie is rich in its symbolism, with the goldfish in its bowl the most clear theme in the movie. Goldfish are beautiful to look at but once taken out of the bowl, they lose their lustre and die. Similarly, the prostitutes are beautiful to look at in their cages but once they leave, they too become ugly and wither away. Kiyoha kinda struggles with this, sort of like knowing a fact but not wanting to accept it. Throughout her career, i think the thing she truly wanted was to leave her diamond birdcage. But a prostitute can only leave if a man chooses to buy her to keep as a concubine or as a wife. At the end of the movie, even though a man has offered to make her his wife, she refuses and chooses instead to honour a promise that she can leave only when the sakura tree in the backyard blooms. Thankfully, in the end, it does bloom and Kiyoha finds true happiness in place far away from the pleasure house.

Prostitutes, like geisha, do not fall in love with their patrons. As expected, Kiyoha falls in love with a young man Soujiro and sacrifices her reputation to visit him. But, as usual, love cannot last and when one of her drunken clients finds out about the affair and starts beating her, Soujiro chooses to like run away. Somehow after this Kiyoha doesnt see Soujiro ever again. Lol there was a monologue scene but i didnt understand a word of it lmao omg epic phailz ... So my interpretation of what happened in between is like skewered i think ill rewatch this part when i take japanese lessons or smth. Lol maybe wenxiu can translate what happened xD

The visuals are stunning man... The dragon screens, sakura trees, sparkling goldfish, layers of kimono and pop-art coloured streets.. In fact when i first watched the trailer, my first thought was "omg this reminds me of Curse of the Golden Flower". And it turns out that some other movie reviewers have also likened the visuals of Sakuran to Curse of the Golden Flower. Yeayyy hahahaha.. Not bad for first time director Ninagawa Mika to be compared to the likes of Zhang Yimou. Ninagawa Mika is a pretty top-notch photographer before this (her latest book is L file no. 15 featuring Ken'ichi Matsuyama as L, THAT IS IRRITATINGLY NOT AVAILABLE IN SINGAPORE) so it's only natural she has such an excellent eye for the colours and angles in the film.

I think my favourite part of the movie has got to be its soundtrack. Shiina Ringo produces the entire soundtrack and it REALLY is out of this world. Esp the orchestral remake of Gamble, which in its original form is one of my favourite songs. The old-school mix of jazz, orchestral and rock music really captures the mood of the movie very well.


Note arh.. This movie is about prostitutes, NOT geisha. Despite what that crappy flick called memiors might imply, geishas are more like artesans and not hookers so please don't confuse the two. In fact in the first few minutes of the show, one of the things that leap out would be the fact that the women wear obis tied in front and their kimono is wrapped very low at the neck and loosely at the legs. Erm for obvious reasons larh... Also, this is not work-safe or parent-safe (i mean c'mon you cant make a movie about prostitutes without some nudity) so dont watch this with your parents standing behind you or smth lol..

Lol phoebe if you're reading this, go watch the movie coz oguri shun is in it xD for like 30 seconds hahahahahahahahaha no larh slightly longer larh but he has no lines.. And zizhao will probably recognize Soujiro as Nobu in NANA movie if he watches this.. Yah larh i like to identify actors coz i have nothing better to do.

And did i mention i hate my job? Yeah well... I HATE MY JOB. Im gonna tender resignation next monday coz i can't stand the bloody woman sitting behind me grrr... It sounds very petty and spoilt of me to keep complaining but i just feel so uninspired and stuck. I'm not learning anything here anyway i might as well take something like Duck Tours where i can talk my energy away..

Gahh another pic spam post -.- i think my sexy voice and robo post is like lost liao hahaha but nvm another pic of ken'ichi to brighten my day! xD it was his birthday yesterday.. Cool eh that such an auspicious day would take place this week (ill take this as a sign for tmr) I like it when he smiles, he should smile more often haha..


I refuse to think about results tmr.. Even though i break into occasional cold sweat lol metaphorically speaking larh since i can't sweat in the office its too damn cold =x But somehow it feels like if i spend my energy thinking about it and getting nervous over it, MOE would have won. And i dont want to give it the satisfaction of making me anxious. Haha childish i know, im learning from L. Besides, theres no point panicking about things that are alr set in stone and cant be changed. Id rather surround myself with positive energy till 2.30pm tmr (probably earlier since i have 10cent library fine -.-) Thats really one reason why i refuse to join the class tmr at 1.15pm coz i know surely got some wankers who will go "OMG OMG RESULTS IN ____ MINUTES SO SCARY" every 5 seconds.. You wanna sit there and mass panic go ahead man im gonna stay home and watch sexy voice and robo until i leave the house..

I'm gonna go pierce my ears after the results, one hole for every A. Lol i want many many earholes xD Till tmr....

Karisome Otome by Shiina Ringo

I'm just like the woman
Who stand next to you and stare
Sweet intoxication
But I'm leaving this affair
You lit up my daydreams
Like so many other guys
Don't you look so lonely
There's no sorrow in goodbye

What women want are some simple pleasures
To be special
We don't need you forever
But I fell for your trap
Girls will fall like that
I was floating on a breeze

What you must be feeling
It was too late yesterday
Despite your deceiving
It was me who had my way

But women always attempt to tell lies
And to disguise, conceal what we want
So when I try to decieve won't you believe
Or say that you forgive me

Cause the fault lies with you and the things you do
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
So I'll try to make this break but I can't escape
I'm too far into you

Though I know (though I Know)
Our time has come (nothing lasts)
When you say (when you say)
"I still love you" (I love you).

I think...
Don't leave me alone here
I'm lonely without you near
No lies, tricks or deception
These words speak my affection
Hey boy, those were just lies
Now I'll say my goodbye

From the Sakuran movie OST which i'm listening to now in office and i dont even use torrent lol how imba am i at this? Intoxicating x) Now i'm looking forward to finding the movie even more~

Strangely, this song reminds me of MatsuKen and _______. Lololol..

Anyway, my bossu transfered from my dept to another dept, all without a word of instruction on what to do next. And when he left his desk, he left his spilt coffee on the table for everybody to see. When he came back to collect more stuff, this happened:
Bossu: "AIYO! Why the coffee everywhere! Did you all see??"
Act-blur queen sitting behind me: "No. No i didnt see anything."
Me: "Yah i saw. I asked the cleaner to come in to clean but she hasnt come in yet."
Bossu: "How can you see and not do anything?? Its like you see the terrorist and didn't call the police"
Me: (-.-)||||| "I can't call 999 when i see spilt coffee on the table can i?"
Bossu: "Well its similar becoz they are both the act of lifting your fingers to do work."
Me: "Fuck you larh. I'm paid 6.50 to do office work. NOT clean the table after you. You spilt the coffee then clean the sopping mess yourself."

Obviously i said the last sentence in my head. GRRRRRRR i can't wait to transfer departments..

Wahh sehhh i love the Sakuran OST sia.. About as much as i love the Sexy Voice and Robo OST =)=)=)=)=)

Lol no pictures in this post! Omg i really am very very very bored at work to blog like twice a day.. Shit all this posting is pushing my MatsuKen pictures downwards O.O

Robo Vs L

Three cheers for the new songs on the imeem player~!!!! The first is the opening theme of Sexy Voice and Robo, while the second is the Nico to Robo Blues.. It's probably illegal to upload the whole album onto the player lol so maybe in a couple of weeks ill upload Niko and Robo's main themes.. Wowow im blown away by the soundtrack xD I totally can't get enough of it..

Anyway people need to get over themselves and start to realise that L:Change the World is not part of the Death Note franchise. Notice that there is no "Death Note 3" in front of the title? It's a spin-off, a standalone movie.. And it deserves to be viewed as such.. I can't stand reviewers who keep saying this movie has no link to the original and im like yeahhh thats coz its a separate story genius *facepalm*

I can't say i was blown away by the storyline and the obvious loopholes. (WOW THE WHOLE PLANE GOT INFECTED IN 5 SECONDS?) Plus, L barely had to think to solve the case. But i have to say that Ken'ichi Matsuyama is for sure an actor to look out for. After scoring the role of L, he's been scoring lead roles for a few other films that are coming out this yr and next yr.. But i actually prefer him as Robo, as compared to L xD Ok i shall stop fangirling now..

I'm stuck at Sexy Voice and Robo ep 10. I kinda dont want to watch the last episode coz that would mean the end of a superb series.. And then id have no more MatsuKen shows to watch.. Anyway, ep 8 and 9 are touching, to say the least. It wasn't the flat-out-cry-your-eyes-out type of storyline but it's deeper and darker than the other more light hearted episodes.. And you get to see more depth in the relationship between Niko and Robo..

Anyway the next film on my must watch list is not a MatsuKen film (wow what a change eh hahaha) but a Anna Tsuchiya movie. Erm as mentioned in an earlier post, Anna Tsuchiya is like one of my favourite japanese female rock vocalists. Which kinda explains the interest in this movie.. But try searching for the trailer.. All the pop-art colours and actresses in their resplendent kimono-ed glory xD

Check out the way "sakuran" is scrawled in both the posters... So pretty =)
I just realised that all my posts recently have been featuring pictures *headdesk* sorry hahahaha shall attempt to stop my recent pic-spam fixation AFTER i upload the pictures of the outing with Gaara-sama on saturday lol.
