Good night

Everyone's doing what I want to do, stuff that I thought of way back then when no one ever thought of it, just that I didn't have the chance to do it.


I don't feel so original anymore. And the essential core of an artist is originality.



Right now, I suppose I just have to think of more creative stuff to beat the rest. Mmm. Can't lose. Creativity and originality is something that cannnot be stolen, it can only be imitated and followed. And I am so not gonna do that unless under special circustances that force me to go with the flow (I can't just hit someone out of the blue just because people around me aren't doing it).

Yosh. Shall save the brain juices for creativity and originality later. For now, sleep is what I need. It's five a.m, I'm dead beat. And speaking of dead beat, I'm dead meat in today's Add Maths class.


Shoot.


Moral of the story: If you feel your creative juices flowing, just do it. Stop waiting. People surpass you. And it'd be too late by then.

Random shizz

Took a trip down childhood memory lane while watching the Teen Titans movie. I know, I know, I'm a sore loser watching cartoons (hey! No different from anime right?! But gah, whatever) and right now, I wish I hadn't, due to personal reasons of me not satisfied with the show's pairings. I know, screw me, I'm some kind of rabid fangirl expressing my dissatisfaction, so sue me.

Blergh.

Come to think about it, I really hadn't ranted about my interests like this for a very long night, hmm... Is it the song I'm listening now that's affecting me? Or is it the late night slash teen wee early hours of the morning giving me spiritual guidance in the creative rambling juices?

Oh god, what the hell am I crapping about anyway?


Never mind. I'll go with the late night slash early morning inspiration one. It always happens to me when I stayed up late back in those days when I still had the creative juices going strong. Sigh, a trip back down memory lane again. Yay.


Things I wish to express now:

-Raven rocks. She should have been given more limelight in the show.

-I like the internet.

-I want to sleep but the computers attracting me like north-south magnets.

-I have not studied a single shit for Linterature, walaupun saya telah berazam untuk membuat demikian dalam post saya yang lalu. (Sheesh, typing in Malay sucks big :/)

-I seem to get high during the night and early morning.

-I love my pillow very much and I have absolutely no idea what the hell I'm typing here. Gah.



Thank god for fanfiction. Yay! Oh yeah, does anyone know what kind of software I should use for ripping out the audio from a video? Or at least, what I should do? I'm clueless when it comes to these sort of tech stuff. Gah.

Okies, three a.m now. Wheepee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I heart my pillow!!!!!!!!! Muaks! *Squishes pillow, squishie squishie squishie squishie!!!*

Three weeks of absence

Oh my god, I survived those three torturous weeks of hell. O.O

I feel like my right hand can write a marathon. All that writing and scribbling has definitely made the muscles on my right hand grown bigger.


I had so much I wanted to do during the exam. Right now, I feel so listless. Gah. I have my Biology assignment too! No!!!! T.T




10 down, 1 more to go. English Literature, here I come!

10.10.10

The triple ten. 

Something about a stupid rumour going around about viruses attacking computers that go online at ten. Gah. 

Dead beat. Couldn't sleep the whole night. I have never felt so tired and dizzy in my whole sixteen years of existence before. It's like if I run even a 100 metres I'll drop dead onto the ground and faint. Yes, I am that tired. Shall sleep very early tonight. 

Two more days to the release of Rick Riordan's new Percy Jackson series book in the US. Nine more days to my finals. 

Screw reality. 

Long Rant Ahead

Supposed to be studying, but I'm not. Down with a bad tummy, vomitted my lunch wholesale without it being digested yesterday in the middle of the night followed by two more unmentionable dates with the toilet bowl. Ugh, I don't feel so good. No, wait, more like I feel very bad.

Academically speaking, today wasn't a very fruitful day. Tried doing my History notes, but I got sleepy after five pages, and so I suppose I will copy the rest in school tomorrow. But one thing's for sure this morning, it felt so good to be able to wake up at nine and sleep back at eleven in the morning, only to wake up again at one (I didn't attend school today, obvious much?). Ahh, if only everyday was like that. Not. I don't want to barf three times and face the toilet bowl literally every night thank you very much.

But, interests and hobby wise, today was REALLY a productive day. I have finally given in to the attractions of the internet and went surfing the net. But, I'm glad I did, because I got to discover the cover of Sarah Dessen's upcoming book!!!! Thank you Sarah Dessen for not putting this information on your blog which I have been so faithfully following. And to think I discovered that when I was actually looking for another book cover. What a surprise.

Here:

What Happened to Goodbye is about a high school senior who, after her parents’ divorce, has taken up the practice of assuming a new identity in each of the four towns she’s lived in.

Okaayyy. Sounds new, and interesting. And this is coming in 10th May 2011 in the US. When will it reach Malaysia? I have no idea. But I'm sure Kinokuniya will have it first, hopefully. Thank god for online book-shopping. :D

As mentioned above, when I stumbled across the new book cover for WHTG, I was actually going through the 'Where She Went' teaser tour, dropping by various book review blogs I have never known existed before (I honestly thought book reviewing was only in the papers and magazines). And the more I go through the whole thing, the more interested and excited I become. I mean, I already went through it once a few months ago, and when I go back, it still hits me in the face like newly/freshly-baked cookies.

Basically, from what I read in Gayle Forman's blog, it's about Mia coming back from the dead, walking out of poor Adam's life (I seriously gasped when I read this part) and becoming Julliard's very own rising star three years later. But Adam, though as heartbroken as he is, doesn't slack and drown himself with booze either. Apparently he and his band made it and became world famous. And so, on one faithful night, like any other book, something happens and they meet again in NYC. I think Adam got stuck there somehow, I'm not sure. And I heard he has some superstar actress as his girlfriend. Eww. Blargh. But anyways, like its precedessor 'If I Stay', the whole story takes place in one night and we get thrown back into flashbacks of what happened in between. Hooray.

Here is the cover for 'If I Stay':

And three years later, here is their story with Mia joining the walking dead society (kidding):

And she's back. As fierce and as ruthless as ever. What will she do next to poor Adam? I feel so sad for the both of them. (wipes stray tear from corner of eyes)

You can go to Gayle Forman's website (http://www.gayleforman.com/) for more information about both books or just straight away go here for the 'Where She Went' full package information (of course, no spoilers provided. We don't even know half the plot, only the gist of it):

http://www.gayleforman.com/blog/2010/09/07/where-she-went-the-full-package/

If you are a sucker for YA -no, wait, actually, I believe If I Stay surpasses most books regardless of its genre, so yeah, rephrase: No matter if you like whatever books you read, this book is denifitely one of your must-read books. It's just so touching I even bought the chinese-translated version, which I resolve to read after my finals.

Okay, enough said for those two series. Three more days to the triple ten, and FIVE MORE DAYS TO THE RELEASE OF THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS SERIES: THE LOST HERO!!!!!

Here's the cover for a finale to this post, and once again, hooray for online book-shopping!!!! I hope Kinokuniya gets this book fast, I'd love a first edition one. XD

Okay, back to studying. I still have so much more. And a call from Wei Ting just made me realise I haven't done any English Literature exercises at all, and I have to do some as seeing Anba's coming down this Saturday. Great. Study. Study. Study.

Postscript

Oh yes, forgot to add, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLENE!!!!!!!!!!!!NEXT YEAR YOU'LL BE SEVENTEEN! AND I SHALL BUY YOU SEVENTEEN MAGAZINES!!!!!!!!!!!


Can't believe I actually never tried to know you better for the past three years. But oh well, at least this year I do. :DDDD


Last note: Gayle Forman's releasing the sequel to If I Stay next year!!! It's called 'Where She Went', and will be written in Adam's perspective. YESH. SO MANY THINGS TO LOOK FOWARD TO NEXT YEAR! SPM IS FREAKING HELL NOT ONE OF THEM.

Okay, must return back to serious mood and get off the computer now. I suppose I won't be surfing the net for some time unless there are important things to do. Toodles.



Peace out.

Resolutions

Stayed up till midnight just to wish CC happy birthday. Stupidsweet sixteen. So, that's one resolution down, a lot more to go.

Finals coming in less than a month. Holy crap. Everyone's studying their asses off while I am still struggling to complete my homework load. When I'm almost done with homework more comes in, and it's back to square one. Gargh, the teachers must really be considerate. I don't want to drop into the lower class!!!


It's time to make up for what I have lost in the past few exams this year. No more fooling around procrastinating, reduce trying to achieve superwoman status by helping any teacher who requests for something unless necessary(after English week, no more, MUST STUDY!), focus more on 'self' and being a selfish bitch with my time.

I'll prove it to those people who look down upon me that I can do it, and that I can improve academically and mentally. If I succeed, hooray for me; if I don't, I'll be sad, but at least I know I've tried my best. And knowing that I've put all my efforts to pull up my grades from the pits of nowhere is all that matters.

All talk and no action makes Jack a conceited boy. Therefore, this new resolution starts today. I. Will. Study. As. Hard. As. Possible. And. Try. My. Best.



It is never too late for resolutions, unless you're just talking big shit and crap and don't do a thing about it. If I succeed, I shall reward myself with a trip to Kinokuniya at the end of the year, and buy as many books as I can. YOSH!
