butterfly.

Just a little something that I wanna talk about.

Couples who celebrate anniversaries.

No offense meant here but just my two cents.

I know I find it weird that some couple celebrate their anniversaries ALL the time. One month, 6 months or 1 year anniversaries are okay. But don't you think it gets kinda weird when people start having 88 days or 5 months or 1 year 1 month 1 day anniversaries??

Honestly I think most people celebrate anniversaries cause they wanna use it as an excuse to dress up and go for a fancy dinner. Or even just so that their significant other will buy them a present that 'means something'.

Should I ever get myself into a relationship, anniversaries will not be the "YES!! We've made it this far!!" event but the "THANK YOU!! You have made my life that much happier."

make me.

Did you know that it's possible to write an ENTIRE book of over 50,000 words without the use of the letter E?

*GADSBY* the book that seemed impossible.

It was written in 1939 by Ernest Vincent Wright.

Quite cool no?

leave of absence.

Interesting thought.

You know how in French 'I Love You' is Je t'aime?

Technically aime is the word for like. While amour is the word for love.

So why don't people just say J'amour??

Okay, while for those who know French will know that armour is a noun and therefore can't be used to express the feeling of love, wanna hear my reasoning? Yes I know my train of thought might not always be easy to follow but hey, I think it makes sense.

French is the language of love. Yet it's ironic how they technically say 'I Like You' instead of 'I Love You'. But I think they're smart that way. It may be deemed the language of love but in truth in reveals what love really is. Non existent. More likely that someone actually likes a person instead of being in 'love' with another person. No?

Oh well. I might change my opinion but I highly doubt so.

paradise lost.

More people should watch this. Super funny.


A Tale of Two Brains.

Don't you think it's so true??

Haha. Guys and their 'nothing' box. Explains a lot doesn't it.

spring.

Hmm, not sure whether people out there know but there's this TV series called Dollhouse.

It's about this organization that produce "Dolls" who are basically normal people who have had their memories wiped so that they can be programmed with a desired personality. So if you wanna hire an assassin then they'll program one for you and so forth. Quite an interesting series.

But that's beside the point.

The point is that I've found out that there is actually a company similar to this series in reality.

In Japan, there's a company called Hagemashi Tai a.k.a I Want to Cheer Up Limited.

You can 'rent' pets which you can take for walks and stuff if you want. About $10 an hour. That's just for pets though. You can also rent people. Cool right? You can rent actors to pretend to be your relative at a wedding or funeral. Or even for single mums who need a father figure for their kids or for young women who wanna experience a 'marriage'. Yup.

Two articles about it *HERE* and *HERE*

forget it.

Let's pose a hypothetical situation.

You're in your car driving down a road at night coming back from some outing at a shopping complex. Suddenly out of nowhere a drunk driver speeding crashes right into your car at the passenger's side.

Your car is crushed beyond recognition but you're still alive. You crawl out of the car using only the strength of one hand seeing as your other looks like it's in a funny position. As you reach for your handphone to call a family member you also realise that your back seems to be getting wetter and wetter with the blood that's spilling out of your head. You call your mother. No answer. So you have no choice but to call your father to come help.

He picks up the phone and you try to tell him in as little words as possible your situation cause you feel yourself getting short of breath. Now it's his turn to reply.

Which reply to you think is more realistic?

"I know you're not okay but everything's going to be fine. I'll rush over there as fast as I can."

or

"WHAT!!! YOU CRASHED THE CAR! Do you know how much that car costs? Does it look like it's possible to get the car fixed cause I'm not forking out any more money to get you another car."




Not sure bout you people out there. But I am positive I know which is more realistic for me.

hoedown

Today, I was talking with friends about how it was so silly as kids to believe in cooties. Then my friend said "Dude, they're still real. We just now call them STD's." I now look at my whole childhood differently. MLIA



Haha. So many things change as you grow up.

don't matter.

Answer to previous post's question.

*I'd save my mother but die with you.*

Yes I know it sounds like a stupid decision. But hey, the romantic in me likes it =D.

Haha.

Anyways,

Yesterday went for the Clinical Psychology talk organized by Student Council. It was pretty interesting. Nice to know that real life hypnosis isn't like the kind you watch on TV with the swinging watch and people clucking like chickens.

Then after that went to Marcia's place for lunch. She cooked!! =). It was a good lunch.

Went back home bout 5.30 and spent some time at home before driving out to 1U. Had dinner with Jia, Fi and Belinda. Was still full from lunch so didn't have much for dinner.

That's about it. Holiday day one gone.

break even

Hmm. Here's a question that I'm sure all girls have asked their boyfriends at one point.

"If both your mother and I were drowning in the sea, who would you save?"

But seriously, what kind of answer would the girl expect?

If the guy were to say his mother. Pretty sure the girl would go "So you don't love me?"

Yet if he says he would save the girl, the reply would go like this "So family isn't important?"

Sigh. Complicated no?

Think you can come up with the perfect answer? Leave a comment.

Cause in fact I have heard of an answer that I deem to be the perfect solution.

single galleon.

Things to do during two week holidays:

1. Write personal statement. Sigh.

2. Complete Psych notes.

3. Finish Hamlet analysis. Double sigh.

4. Study study study.

5. FANFICTION!!! Haha. Read and write.

6. Fold stars =D. Done with 1 pack already(there's 128 in it).

might as well.

3 movies. 2 days. 1 very happy Weng Yee =D.

Haha. So exams were over yesterday for those of us who don't take law or bio.

Went over to 1U right after last paper(Thinking Skills 1). Ate at Big Apple, bought bubble tea from Little Taiwan before the 5 of us(Caroline, Marcia, Pam, Anthea and I) watched my The Ugly Truth.

I give it a MUST WATCH!!!!

Though the story line is cliched and predictable the jokes are good. Haven't laughed so much during a romantic comedy for ages.

Anthea went back after that as she had a dinner while the rest of us spent A LOT of time in MPH. Haha. Had dinner at Vietnamese Kitchen and the proceeded to watch Up. It was quite good for a cartoon. The beginning was soooooo sad though. Won't spoil it for you but I did feel that perhaps really young kids wouldn't enjoy this movie as much as older kids would.

Oh oh oh! My sister watched the same movie as me. Yes you're probably going "So what?". But it's my youngest sister, Weng Mun. First time ever I think that she's going out with her friends with no parents. I feel old. I do indeed.

Today went to 1U again. Sigh. This time to meet up with Jia Lik and Amanda for another movie. Sam joined us for bubble tea(yes from the same place) while we waited for Fu to get herself over to 1U. Had lunch at Delicious where if you heard our conversation you'd think that we lived in Harry Potter land. Strange we are.

3rd movie was Final Destination in 3D. Gah. Not for the faint hearted. While most who watched it in 2D said it was really boring, it is anything but if you watch it in 3D. Oh so gruesome and terrifying. Never again. But I must say it was a very imaginative movie. Very creative ways to die.

Drive home was okay. Motorcycles scare me when they do that cutting into everyone's lane thing. Especially when there are two motorcycles on each side cutting in.

surrounded by darkness.

Only one more day to go!!

And I'm done with the scary papers i.e Lit & Maths.


Ending this post with some quotes. Enjoy =D.

I'm an angel! Honestly! The horns are just there to keep the halo up straight.

Everyone keeps telling me the right guy will come around, but I think mine got hit by a bus.

My mother told me not to talk to strangers. I don't talk to myself anymore.

The hardest years in life are those between 10 and 70.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

When I'm right, no one remembers. When I'm wrong, no one forgets.

We never grow up. We just learn how to act in public.

And my favourite of the lot...

Reality has exiled me.I am no longer bound by it's laws.

lol.

Parodies. Love them. They're seriously quite funny. If you don't understand, parodies are basically people acting out scenes from their favourite movies/shows but with a funny side.

Here are a couple of my favourite ones.

Okay, I know I usually just embed the file here. But it's gonna take up so much space. So here are the links.

The Dark Knight-Joker Interrogation Scene

Okay. Fun time's over. Back to Physiological Psychology. Gah. Worst one of the lot.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

signaling function.

The air was ice cold. The strange absence of sound in a place that is usually filled with everyday business. Suddenly everything was further away. Someone had moved their positions, and it only served to send fear into everyone's soul. Those who were prepared were seen to be quick and precise in their movements. But for those unfortunate ones who did not see the importance of preparation could only scratch their heads and wring their brains in vain.

You had no one but yourself to get you through this ordeal. It was a do or die situation.

As the final minutes drew nearer, everyone could feel the tension that was so thick you couldn't even slice through it. And finally, those long awaited words were uttered.





"Okay everyone, please stop writing while the teachers collect you answer booklets."




Day 1 down.

Another interesting bit of information.

It's called the Great Man Theory.

The Great man theory is a philosophical theory that aims to explain history by the impact of "Great men", or heroes: highly influential individuals who, due to either their personal charisma, intelligence and wisdom or Machiavellianism, used power in a way that had a decisive historical impact.

Obviously I don't believe in it at all. How can you say that history is all based on the actions and decisions of one single individual? While I'd agree that some people are more influential when it comes to the course of history, it is ultimately the many people or events around that one 'great man' that led to the actions that he would take. The Domino Effect to say the least.

On that note. Here's a really cool domino effect video. With no real dominos used.
