I smell old

My grandfather used to always smell like that stuff you rub on muscles to ease sores and aches. You know, slightly minty, musty, and very medicine-like. I've since associated that smell with old people.

The right shoulder has been aching a lot lately, especially in the afternoons after classes where it gets really stiff and at night when I'm using the mouse on the couch. When I'm in college, it helps that there's Linda's PokyThinFingers to rub away the pain for a bit, or Edmund's magic massage which turns me to jelly, but when I'm at home, there's only so much area my short left hand can reach, plus I'm not a very efficient self-massager. So when today's ache was too much to take, I dug out an old free sample of Salonpas, one of those medicated plasters.

So now I smell old. In a funky sorta way. But not bad. It's really heaty/cooling, I can't quite tell, but it seems to be lessening the pain slightly anyhow.

Good lord, I'm barely 19 and I'm already using old people things.

It's almost April! - Recap on New Year Resolutions.

RESOLUTIONS
1. Stop swearing so much. Flush down the toilet la.
2. Stop dropping and killing Zen. I have new pouch for it! Haven't dropped it since I got the new replacement. So far, So good.
3. Not trip (so much) and be unstable as before. Linda's probably laughing at this one right now...
4. OMG this should be number one - STUDY MORE CONSISTENTLY. Wth, totally forgot about this, but I'm doing okay la for assignments. Can pass safely on finals
5. Be less drama and emo. I think so yes yes, I'm so chill.
6. Be a really great friend and remember their birthdays. :D!!! We solved the mystery of Reagan's birthday this year
7. I will not hate valentines this year. Or dread it. And I didn't! I can't remember anything about it, except sms-es, a half-empty PR class, and eating McDs behind the lecture theater.
8. Don't kill the cacti. Still alive, except one.
9. Find minions, I mean, companions to join Rotaract with. No more interest. *flush*
10. Meet up with the girls a heck of a lot more before they go flying off to their tertiary institutions. I haven't seen them since CNY! And KarBear didn't even come! :(

TO ACHIEVE
1. Grow hair long long long. Slightly above middle of back. Not counted la.
2. Get a guy to serenade me :D Edmund was karaoke-ing in his car to emo song. Cannot remember title, but it was a serenading sort of song. If by end year this is not fulfilled, I shall cheat with this anedote
3. Hike up CGPA by Dec '07 to a 3.33 Currently have no idea what my GPA is right now. Not too bad I suppose.
4. Get. The. Car. And if any of you start making smartass comments, I'll hunt you down. So shush........shut up.
5. Master the DSLR.....Waiting for Camera Fair.
6. Upgrade shoe collection. T_T
7. Get back my reading habit by reading at least 6 new books this year. Harry Potter doesn't count. Have not read anything. Disgraceful!

Online Favorites

With the amount of time I spent with Hugh on my lap, it's a miracle I haven't developed radioactive related diseases. I estimate I spend an average of 6 hours every day during the week and 9 hours per day during the weekends. 13, If I'm not shopping or it's a paticularly boring weekend.

With all that time spent online, I've racked up a long list of favorite websites that I frequent everyday without fail.

Pink Is The New Blog - a gossip website run by Trent, a dude who has an affinity for hot pink stars, hot pink fonts, hot pink everything!

The Superficial - not very regularly updated, but the author has the most absurd comments.

Perez Hilton - I have to be honest, I'm not very fond of his style of criticizing the celebs. I feel he's a bit harsh and overly mean without much reason, overly-dramatic, hypocritical, and too much of a wannabe. Plus, his drawings (if you can call it that) are extremely crude. That said, his site is the most up to date one. Which is the only reason why I visit his site regularly.

Snippets of Life - I do not like kids. No, don't give me that look. I do not like kids. But Karen Cheng's kids are so cute and adorable and they DON'T WHACK ME WITH BALLOONS! She's a mom in Aussie and this site is like a mini journal of her kids growing up with happenings in her community on the side. A lovely side read. Like a nice salad.

PostSecret - PostSecret was featured on a music video before, I just can't remember which. It was some emo rock band video, but they had people hold up postcards of their secrets. PostSecret is like the emo site for non-emo people. Inspiring, Heart-breaking, Thought-provoking and random; PostSecret is my Sunday weekly fix. Sometimes more when I need to read something emo.

Silverfish stories - Some people will have heard of Silverfish books, the bookstore that stores an eclectic choice of books in Bangsar. They're like this independent movement that pioneers for the reading and writing culture in Malaysia. I like to read their writer's section, because the short stories show a real honest reflection of Malaysian culture with usually good plots.

Kaypopotamus - A site manned by Jenhan, a senior in my college, . The posts are usually accompanied by mind-blowing shots of everyday life. Jenhan may never know it, but I have to credit this site and the author for being one of the main reasons that led me to my passion for photography. If ever I had to recommend a blog to read for comedy, and that is thought provoking, well written and entertaining, as well as brilliant to look at, it would be this. Hands down. He's quite the accomplished comedian now, I would say, and I think he'll be HUGE ten years down the line. Maybe even sooner. Okay enough sucking up wtf.

Louis Pang - Wedding Photographer - Er. Yeah. Really la, I read this regularly even though I'm not bloody planning weddings. His photos are different la. You know when you see your auntie's cousin's daughter's brother in law punya wedding photo???? Yeah. So poser right. Not natural, hardly memorable, no moments captured.All the photos usually look like poser shots of a Bollywood scene. I think that's a big mistake many people are becoming more aware of, thank God, since more young people are getting married, and they know more of what counts during the wedding. People like Kid Chan, Louis Pang, Alvin Leong are the new IT wedding photographers, man.

Ctrl+Alt+Del - Hehe. Geek Comic!!! But it's cute la...It's like teh l33t of Simpsons.

Waiter Rant - Rantings and anecdotes of a waiter regarding his career, life, and mishaps that happen in the workplace. Makes for an entertaining read. Ever since reading this, I would like to think I've become nicer to those in the restaurant business :D

Dead Silence

Beware the stare of Mary Shaw.
She had no children, only dolls.
And if you see her, do not scream.
Or she'll rip your tongue out at the seam.


*whimper*




From the writer and director of the international phenomenon Saw comes an experience on the razor's edge of fear, Dead Silence.


There is an old ghost story in the sleepy town of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who went mad. Accused of the murder of a young boy, she was hunted down by vengeful townspeople who cut out her tongue and killed her. They buried her along with her "children," a hand-made collection of vaudeville dolls.


Since that time, Ravens Fair has been plagued by death. The ghastly dolls from Mary Shaw's collection have gone missing from the grave and reappeared over the decades. In the dead of night - wherever they are glimpsed - families are found gruesomely murdered with their tongues torn out.


Far from the pall of their hometown, newlyweds Jamie (Ryan Kwanten) and Lisa Ashen thought they had established a fresh start. But when his wife is grotesquely killed, Jamie reluctantly returns to Ravens Fair for the funeral, intent on unraveling the mystery of her death.


Once reunited with his ill father (Bob Gunton) and his father's new young bride (Amber Valletta), Jamie must dig into the town's bloody past to find out who killed his wife and why. As he uncovers the legend of Mary Shaw, Jamie unlocks the story of her curse and the truth behind the song from his childhood: if you see her and scream, you will never speak again.


EEE!! Since the gang started on and on about Saw, I kinda maybe a little teeny weeny bit perhaps a chance want to watch it.


Deviantart posted the results for a movie poster contest for Dead Silence and it seems quite cool la. I think I am ready for another scary movie. The last one was The Omen, which honestly wasn't as scary as it was freaky. Sudden alternating flashes of blood and creep ass kids and masks will have some sort of spook effect, after all, but the plotline wasn't all that great, really.


There's something about forcing yourself through two hours of screaming and scrambling behind your friend. Mental torture la tu! Perhaps there's a little bit of undiagnosed sadomasochist in all of us.


Yes yes, the more I think about it the more I want to watch this movie. Although not as much as I'd like to watch Mukhsin.


Wanted!

RELIEF

YES





YES





YES


AssignmentsCrazyPeriod is over. For now. No more CRM and AW :D The rest of the assignments should be manageble. But we must do with 110% effort!!!!!!!!!!!!



anyway




Matter of Business 1




The movie 300 rocks. I mean reallllyyyyy. It's like LOTR, only no magic, less superstupendouskickassunbelievable CG effects, waaaaayyyy more blood and gore, and HECK LOADS OF topless dudes. Pretty sexy in a sweaty, masculine sort of way. It's a movie I came out from feeling super semangat and raging full of testosterone fuelled violence. If anybody bad-mouthed that movie at that time I would have socker-punched them. I high-fived Kitty when we came out because he had been at us for a whole week and emo-ing because we kept postponing the movie. We may be quoting this one for some time.





Matter of Business 2



GAAAAHHHHH I LOVE SHOPPING! Okay, the colour theme for Mass Colympics is orange, and when the movie was postponed on Saturday, Linda and I went shopping at Cats Whiskers for orange tops. She bought one.



I bought a green top that says...









...






...





FAIRIES ROCK









SQUUEEEEEEE!!!!!





My new favorite top :D I saw it ages ago, but I finally bought it because of the 40% discount. Ah. 'Tis the season to be shopping.




Matter of Business 3




Virtual Villagers. is addictive.




It gets tiring playing God after awhile, mainly because your little villagers are, well, slowpokes. It takes ages to get tech points and advance the game even though you're on 2x speed. And it's basically the same strategy over and over again, but there's an insane need to finish what you've started. Plus, you get to name your villagers funny names after your friends...




Swimming. Yes, KuWakChai does mean gangster.




I was thinking about the Young and Dangerous series at that time...


Farming!

If you ever catch me at home playing this, I'm usually muttering things like "Harvest the bloody crops idiot, pick it, PICK IT, no no come back, don't go fishing, faster finish the harvesting, little ninjits, don't obey me, throw you in the pool.. no idiot, don't swim, HARVEST dammit.."


Gone Fishing! That's a crab she's holding, btw... :D

I've been a little paranoid about having a steady supply of food and farmers since Linda had all her villagers die one time. That's a crab, YES!!

Er. Graveyard

Kitty was the first to die. My fault because I made him open a crate that contained killer ants. Chandni, Reagan, Linda, Thomas, Tun, Edmund all died of old age. I think..

I am very close to completing the sequel already, I have all the levels. The villagers are just taking a very long time to uncover the ancient ruins. They should be done the next time I check on them.
