Happy New Year everybody! :)

If you didn't get an email from me, it means I sms-ed you.
If you didn't get an sms from me, blame Maxis.
:D

And for those of you whose email adds and numbers I don't have, consider this a personal New Year wish from me. :)

Autopilot

I've got this song stuck in my head.

Two Is Better Than One - Boys Like Girls & Taylor Swift.

ITS ANNOYING.
I mean its a nice song, but its not one that you would like to have playing over and over and over again in your head. Especially the chorus where they sing the 'tru-u-ue' in a higher pitch.
AND its making me emofied.

Pfft.




I feel like something is slipping away from me.
And that it'll be gone by the time I realise what it is.

Its quite difficult to explain really. Its just a panicky feeling, like something is ending and I won't be quick enough to prevent it from flowing right through my fingers.
Its a weird feeling that makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry.

Ever feel like that?




Stupid emo Taylor Swift song.
-__-



I'm on autopilot, so forgive me if my posts lack hyperness.
Or any real emotion.

Holiday Mode : Full Swing

Hello babes! :D

Nothing much to update.. I iz in JB :D
Was in Melaka yesterday and was too lazy to come online.
Not that everyone else is online anyway. ;)

HOLIDAYS BABEH! :D

After Sem 4 AND Selectives, I'm just glad for an excuse to laze around the house without assignments or impending exams.
Whee. :D

I want to go to a beach!

:D:D

Okeh.
Ehhh I cant think anymore really, so Imma sign out now :p

Christmassy! :D

Helloooo darlings! :D

I'm on cloud nine right now, so excuse me if I sound deliriously happy in this post :D
I'm being redundant.
On purpose :D:D

First off, Merry Christmas!!

I do believe this is the first year ever that I've been infected with the joyousness of Christmas.
Don't ask me why, I just feel so Christmassy *hugs self*
Its just...all's right with the world :)





Probably has something to do with the ridiculous number of movies I've watched today :
1. The Hallmark movie where this boy gets a toy company to send his mother on dates so she can find a husband for Christmas. Didn't catch the name of the movie.
2. Boyfriend for Christmas (Hallmark) - which I've watched once before, but which I loved enough to watch again. :)
3. Christmas Caper (Star Movies)
4. Rumplestilskin (Cinemax?) - weird movie, but the hero very comical lol.
5. Holiday In Handcuffs - this movie I've watched at least 4 times, but I can't help it! Its the one movie I watch every Christmas (and whenever else they play it). Totally one of my fav Christmas movies :D







Oh. AND I made apple crumble yesterday!
First time baking completely on my own. :D:D
I feel accomplished.
Hee.
Like you know how in Pride & Prejudice Mr Bingley's sister goes on about how women must be accomplished?
Well, (allow me to repeat myself) I feel accomplished.

Normally every holidays us cousins gather in a kitchen and bake together. This is how it normally works kay...
My eldest cousin measures everything out and puts everything together
My second cousin mixes everything
My brother entertains us with random stories
and I get the very important job of sitting on the kitchen cabinets and licking all the bowls and spoons clean after we've used them.
I know that sounds disgusting, but its actually a really rewarding job ;)







I'm getting long-winded here.



Fictionpress rocks :)
I love how people write really constructive stuff in reviews. It really is motivating that people take the time and effort to tell you how they liked what you wrote and offer advice that can help you improve.
Someone added me to their author alerts.
*faints*
If I die today, I'd die a happy person :D

EH.
TOUCHWOOD!

heh :p



Maybe it really is the Christmas magic thats in the air today. :D


Again, Merry Christmas babes :D
...and in six days I'll wish y'all a Happy New Year.

Favourited! :D

Someone favourited my story on Fictionpress! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Granted it only got 19 reads and 1 miserable review,
BUT IT GOT FAVOURITED. :D

That is super freaking cool. For like a 300-word story. :D
heh.


Ahem.
The reviewing on fictionpress is alot like comments on blogs.
Alot of people read what you have to write, but very few people bother to comment.
...
HUGE hint right there y'all. ;)


Anywayssss. If y'all wan read the story la yeah.
http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2755637/1/

I make no claims.
Just because someone favourited it does NOT mean I'm saying its the most awesome story on the planet.
It just means there are people who love me :D

Constructive criticism very much welcome.
"Wah your story very lame wor" does admittedly count as criticism, but is in no way constructive. So either say something I can use to improve my writing, or don't say anything at all.
:D

A/N (hehe) : Ze story was based on a dream I had. I don't generally write love stories. I don't generally write stories, period. :p

I'm not in the mood to blog today.
Go read the fish post again.

Drink Like A Fish

I hit the jackpot today :D
But that's not something I'm going to go into.

I was actually intending to go on a rant of sorts about orthodox indian values/rules and the stricter they seem the older you get...
...but I'm a bit to sleepy for that now.

And so.
Instead. Lets discuss fish.
:D






This has been bugging me for awhile now.
WHY do people use the term drink like a fish??
Do fishes actually drink?

I mean it doesn't quite make sense, does it?
Fishes are surrounded by water. They wouldn't have to actively drink the water right?
I mean its like taken in through their gills and/or osmosis-ed through their scales, right?
(ok I dunno about the scale osmosis LOL)


So you know what we're (we being you and me) going to do now?
We, my dear readers, are going to look up the drinking habits of fish on the net.
(I could've just said we're going to google fish drinking habits. Lesser words. -_-)

But I digress :D



(This picture serves as a commercial break while I conduct my research)

...

...

...

*drumroll*

ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG.
Ok. Freshwater fish do not drink water. They Osmosise!
BUT SALTWATER FISH DO DRINK WATER!
wtf.
The SALTWATER FISHES have to freaking DRINK ALOT OF WATER just to survive!

EH.
Means for the freshwater fish my osmosis theory was trueeeeeeeee.
I am genius, I tell you.


THIS IS SO COOL.
http://www.herebeanswers.com/2009/10/drinking-habits-of-freshwater-and.html
GO READ.
Its educational!
:D

If you want something more long-winded, then refer to this.
http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/dec96/847855291.Zo.r.html
or
http://indianapublicmedia.org/amomentofscience/do-fish-drink/
I warn you. I only read the first article. :D
The rest I skimmed through to make sure the first article was true.
Cos if it wasn't, then I'd look like an idiot, right?


:D
I do believe I have answered my own question in this post.
SOME fish DO drink. And when they do, they drink ALOT.
Hence the idiom :D







Y'all are sooooo lucky man.
Where got other bloggers educate their readers on fish like I have just done?

...

You're welcome :D



p.s. random fact Kington presented me with :
Sloths remain hanging even after they die, often until their bodies have become completely decomposed and all that’s left is a skeleton.

EW.

Rock On!

Rawr.

I scolded someone on msn recently for not knowing how to say hi properly.
...
I've just realised that I'm not good at saying hi very properly either.
"Hi" just seems so...formal.
o.o



Watched Rock On!! yesterday.
I LOVED IT :D




Saw it being advertised last year... I do believe they were playing it in Pyramid around the same time I so very hardworkingly went to watch Kismet Konnection.
(remember all the mishaps that occurred before we finally got to watch the movie??...I'm sure you dont remember, so I'm linking the post so that y'all can read it again - here)
Yes I'm extremely syok sendiri.
And decidedly unashamed about it too :D

Right.
Back to Rock On (cos I love reviewing movies unprofessionally from a very biased point of view :p)
IF I had known that Farhan Akhtar was acting in it, I would have watched it soooo much earlier la kay! Cos hes smexy :D
But married.
Its like some universal law. All sexy men are either married...or gay.
Another example being Neil Patrick Harris.

I tend to ramble alot :D

Okay now I really will talk about the movie.
Its a simple story la. No glamour (me like stories like that :D)
About this 4 people who were in a rock band when they were in their 20s, and then they split up, and then ten years later they meet up again...and have to solve all their issues and all that.
The way they took the movie was really nice. Alot of flashbacks..kind of keeps the suspense factor there.
If y'all wan proper synopsis then go read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_On!!

The music was awesome :D:D:D
Like duh. Movie about music, sure soundtrack nice rite? :p
Farhan Akhtar sang 90% of the songs I think. *faints* I didn't know he could sing.
I think apart from Arjun Rampal everyone else in the movie were either new actors or drama/serial actors.
They were excellent in their roles though. :D

I think you can see that I'm decidedly in love with the movie :D




I damn jeles of this guy. :(
He damn pro.
Summore he can play one of my all-time favourite songs BY EAR.
Its like freaking impossible to get sheet music for this la. I emo d.
LOL.

Mimpi Yang Sempurna (piano cover) - Ray Mak




Okeh.
I wan go play piano now :D
Might as well attempt to do something productive with whatever little talent I have.
*sticks out tongue at everybody*
