Hello

once again. HELLO!

It has been decades since I last blogged. I'm surprised I still remember how to. Microblogging doesn't count (cue: Twitter), nor does my Tumblr. I mean something with real juice! Kick, if you will. Not just a photo followed by a string of words. That's just lazy blogging and I have been doing it almost every day on my Tumblr, which I encourage you to take a peek at. Nothing very extravagant. Just photos. No big fancy smancy photoshoot! Hehehe.

Anyways, what brings me here is neither the pains of the blogging world ("Oh, woe is me," says the blogger.) nor was it even my sincere attempt to reconnect with my readers and say hello (I thought since I was to blog, why not a "Hello"?). Oh poor readers. They finally realise that they aren't as important as they thought they were. Well, here's some news, Missy (Missy being me, that is.)! Your readers don't find you that important as well! Maybe with the exception of Maggie who randomly tweeted that she misses my blogging. And I never knew! To cut things short, I'm just here because I've had this thought in my head...

WHY ARE GIRLS - Girls who are love-lorn, forlorn in romance or love-ridden, having some sort of association with romance - ALWAYS ON THE LOSING END?

I mean, it doesn't always have to happen but it seems to happen a lot!

Me, being a fellow girl, feels very much for all you sisters out there who suffer. Even as a guy or maybe not as a guy... how about as a human being? You have to admit it sucks right?!

I'm saying this from observation of a couple of friends (No, my friends are not named Chareli or Seet...) and subconsciously a lot more during the years. By the way, this only applies if your relationship is dysfunctional. If you're having a great relationship, well rejoice! Go join the league of fairytale princesses for all I care. Hurrah! You could be the new long awaited Disney Princess. Run off with your Prince to your shiny marble castle and forget you ever read this post! It's time to make babies, I say!

Away from the deviation, yes, I do believe that girls suffer a lot, not just in relationships but in general, life. I say that with the risk of sounding like feminist. Maybe, I am a closet feminist. Who knows? Anyway, aforementioned friends were in relationships but it wasn't going too well. Yada yada yada, Mr. Relationship requested for a break and without a notice, Girl's world comes crashing down to a halt. (Note: friends shall be called "Girl" from now on.) Girl says no. Girl plea and pleas for Mr. Relationship to come back to her. Mr. Relationship holds strong to his decision (No surprise.) and ignores Girl's pleas. Girl gets very desperate and ultimately becomes rather depressed. Mr. Relationship goes about his daily life and still manages to hum a tune.

That's just a very common and generic scenario but it happens ALL THE TIME. 


Why is it so lopsided?
Why is the girl always the one who is so desperate to hold on to the relationship?
Why is it that the girl is always the one who cries her heart out?
How does the guy even manage to walk on so jauntily?

I'll tell you that that scenario is so damn common and generic but it's a surefire hit on the screens! CRAZY!

For once, I would like to see the boy yowling in pain as the girl walks off with another. I wish I could see his expression when his virginity is stripped off him unwillingly by a woman. Imagine him clinging on to whatever dignity he has left while the girl crushes his ego (and balls too, haha.). Let him be the one on all fours. Begging for love or some form of it when the girl decides to break it off.

Hehehe. I know I sound like I'm angry at the whole damn male species but I really am not. It just came from all my observations. I also know that my argument is very lopsided because increasingly, you do see guys getting trampled. I don't want that to happen, especially not to the nice ones. Just the assholes will do. The worldwide sisterhood constantly needs more Girl Power! Empower yourselves! Ok, now I just sound like some sort of community service campaign.

I don't have any answers to the questions I asked but I believe that this song can help clarify things a little further.



Get in the groove, brotha!

We live off each other. So be nice, people.

Peace out. :)

Here Comes The ROARRRRRRR!

I know, it's a bit of a random update but just wanted to wish anyone especially the readers (if there's still any left) a very "Happy Chinese New Year!"

Chinese or not, everyone loves festivities but do remember to be safe too while you play!

Also, before I forget (again)... Happy Valentine's Day to all, suckers and non-suckers and those who are about to be sucked. ;)

Cheers!

Blank

Hello again. It has been awhile.

This Definitely Deserves A Special Mention

Well...

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!

Reaching this ultimate milestone is an achievement alone! May many more delectable Wagyu steaks and mouth-watering oysters come your way accompanied by beers that can never be too many a bottle! =)))

Not to forget,

HAPPY 29th ANNIVERSARY, MUM AND DAD!!!

WOOHOO. 29 going on 30!! Almost three decades together. THREE DECADES! Proud of you guys. =D Let's keep the fire (ahem) burning! Heehee.

Cheers to two of the most outstanding people in my world! x)

You Ain't Nothing But A ...

DOUCHEBAG.

Lousy all the time.

You ain't nothing but a douchebag. Lousy all the time. Yeah yeah yeah!

To the tune of Elvis Presley's Hound Dog.


Bloody losers. Just because I do it silently, does not mean I AM ALRIGHT DOING IT.

I guess your impossibly thick skull cannot fathom such simple facts that even kittens would be able to follow simply as that. Lousy good-for-nothing-douchebags.
Oh how I wish I did not have to deal with this everyday...

No Surprise

... that this might end up to be a music post. Hahahaha. Shucks, I'm really running out of ideas for blog post titles. It's really easy to go on rambling, on and on and on and on and on... but when it comes to titles, FUUYOH susah gila!

Anyways, last night was my... weekly or rather fortnightly session of music downloading rampage. =D Don't you love discovering new music? It feels so... refreshing. At least, it gives you something new to listen to even though the particular song might be very irritating and addictive. Have you noticed how most of the top songs on the charts are those that are the really irritating ones? The kind where the more you block them out, the more they get stuck in your head. I liken them to the fish hook trap used in the Vietnam War. I don't have a photo of it but I believe that its mechanism works when you get your foot into the trap and the more you try to pull your leg out from it, the more the hooks dig into your flesh. OUCHIE! ^^

So, I downloaded about 60 random songs last night. I think I can sense some of you exclaiming in shock but oh well, that's just a normal download run for me. =D Got most of my songs from the charts off Billboard, a sure-fire way to update your listening list!

Ok. Midway through this post. I'm just going to ramble for a bit here. OH NO. WHY AM I HAVING TROUBLE BLOGGING AGAIN?! TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS?! UNFOCUSED?! THIS IS HORRIBLE! HELP!

Back to reality. A tiny bit of Disney magic. A little bit from the sensitive "rockers". Actually, I wouldn't call The Fray rockers but if they are categorised as so, fine then. Haha. Some random pop. A lot of chart-topping club music. Can't help it. All the charts are full of it! Your hip hop, RNB tinged with electronic synthesizers kind of music. It isn't too bad to listen to sometimes but after a few spins, they all sound the same to me. =P

Here are the couple of stand out tunes from my recent downloading rampage. Enjoy!
Unfortunately, some of you may suffer from immensely slow turtle-speed internet but don't fret! Hope you get to hear the tunes on the radio. =D

Freemasons featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor - Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)

Oh yeah baby! Sophie Ellis Bextor is back! Kudos to her for having such a rocking body because apparently, she filmed this video after having a baby not too long before that! Puts many of us young'uns to shame. =(((

Noisettes - Don't Upset The Rhythm

You might not be very familiar with the Noisettes but this song has a great poppy tune albeit having much edge to it.

Jeremih - Birthday Sex

When I first saw the song title, I was like WTF. Is this what songmaking has come to nowadays? Imagine your little kids singing to this. Skepticism aside, this song is actually pretty good. I like the different beats he has going on there. Very much a stand out amongst all your Ne-Yos, Flo-Ridas and Kanye Wests. Maybe, parental guidance would still be advisory for this song. Haha!

Colbie Caillat - Fallin' For You

Sorry for the crappy video. The original did not allow me to embed. Hmmph. I've always had this thing with Colbie Caillat where her songs remind me of hot afternoons and purely because of that, I was never really into her. Yes, she had good songs but she was not on my frequently-played list. This song however, is quite a gem. The guitar strums are like a light breeze felt when you sit out by the porch, relaxing during your afternoon. At the same time, her voice adds warmth like honey on a pancake. Haha. Great song. I kept repeating it. How unlike me to play Colbie Caillat on repeat. Kekeke.

Paramore - Ignorance

It's Paramore and their new single! Nuff' said. xD

Pink- Please Don't Leave Me

Sorry, another crappy video. Surprised! Another unusual one. I'm not a big fan of Pink. I don't know why but I do like certain songs of hers. This one really grew on me after I got over the "Da da da" part. Hahaha.

Boys Like Girls - Love Drunk

Ashley Tisdale is in the original video. I wonder why. Anyway, Boys Like Girls(BLG) is a really poppy, not exactly your choice of rock band but there's something about them that keeps pulling me back to their music and no, it's not their looks. Hahaha. BLG has this ability of making me feel like I'm back in high school and all the emotions that I experienced as a teenager comes flowing back. Don't you miss feeling the spirit and fire you once had as a teenager? Everything is magnified and the passion is almost endless! Get to adulthood and suddenly you're desensitized to everything. Sigh lah, how to live life like that. NOOOOOOOOOO. I SHALL NOT SUCCUMB! HAHA. Oh, I just realised that the front man is really good looking. Okay, never mind.

Dead By Sunrise - Crawl Back In

Dead By Sunrise (DBS) may sound a little morbid but fear not, their sound is anything but dead! You might recognise the voice and the album artwork. You can't deny that the album artwork does resemble a certain band's. Hehehe. DBS just sounds like a bank. Ok random. To the oblivious ones, DBS is Chester Bennington's side project! Don't worry. He has not left Linkin Park. Just venturing out like what Mike did with Fort Minor. Woohoo! All that said, I'm sold. Sounds awesome. =D Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

Hope you enjoy the songs as much as I do even though I know that my music taste differs greatly from a lot of you. See you around, kids! I'm still trying my best to incorporate "blogging" into my daily life. Bloody hard ok! See you around for real now. =P

note: Title was inspired by Daughtry's "No Surprise" which is also a really good song. \m/ Rock on! \m/

Just Two Words

Thank you.

How hard is it to voice those two words? Yes, they are simple words. Powerful albeit. I use it quite often but sometimes, I still am surprised by the magnitude of the effect at which these words create.

(I seem to be having difficulty at writing this post. Nothing to do with having to exercise my personal censorship or what not. Quite possibly due to a lack of writing and reading. The mind is very rusty. Thus, the great mental block.)

Come day by day, I'm more of a believer that we're a society of ungrateful twats as compared to Xenu ever visiting Earth once a upon a "time". <== Can someone tell me whether this punctuation mark is grammatically correct? I seem to not be able to recall whether it was "time." or "time". Geez, talk about brain rot.

Perhaps, you might be able to intelligently guess what generated this idea that turned into a post. =) It is no question that I really do think a lot of my housemates are a bunch of lazy gits (Don't worry, they don't read my blog. =P ) and this recurring thought often hits whenever I am left cleaning up the mess left behind. Yes, it may be aimed at my twatty mates but I sincerely do believe that everyone out there is appreciating each and every one of their own a little less every day.

We're trampling over good actions and intentions that were once so willingly given. It is no wonder the good have also lost their faith (well, sort of) in mankind and walked over to the dark side! You can now bid farewell to the society of before. I foresee us morphing into savage creatures with mounting levels of disrespect, void of appreciation.

Hold on, we already are!

p.s: My little "giving back" section on the right has been removed because I see no need of putting up links to websites which I do not visit (call me a hypocrite!) but with all my heart, I do believe in the welfare of animals. No fur and skin! Same goes to poaching!

A Couple of Firsts

Hello again! It's a little hard to get into the blogging habit again after having left it for awhile but nothing better than to get the ball rolling.. WOOOOO.

Hahaha.

I experienced a few Firsts (if you know what I mean) during the past weekend. Nothing very special about that weekend, it was just like any other but with a few more outings. Oh and I do not mean that First (if you know what I mean) if that was what you were thinking. xP

First Haircut By The Angmoh Hairdressers.
I was definitely damn intimidated at first but their service was good, so I relaxed the next few seconds. Quite interesting to note the differences between them and the Asian hairdressers! They don't layer your hair like babi (Haha, Maggie.) unless you ask them to. I'm still a little unsure about my haircut but apparently, it's fine so here's to something new. Cheers!

First Babi Pongteh.
I tried cooking babi pongteh!!! Actually it was more like ayam babi pongteh because I added chicken into it. For a little more flavour, I modified that recipe with another... sort of like a hybrid and added a cinnamon stick with a few cloves. Just thought some of you might be interested. =P Needless to say (Haha!), it was a success! My potatoes were a little mushy. Cooked them a tad longer than I would have liked to but seriously, it was a success! Cheers!

First Dr. Pepper.
Most of you have probably never heard of Dr. Pepper. So, here's what the basic can looks like...

Kind of looks like your normal coke and no, it's not a drink made from pepper! Haha! Trust me, I'm sure some people will ask you that question one day if you happen to be drinking it. So, it's a famous drink in the US. Heard a lot about it. Always wondered about it. Never thought that I would have the chance to try it that day in Kings Cross just as we sauntered past The British Lolly Shop! How to let go this chance right? So I bought it! The shop owner was damn nice too, offering a few of us a sweet or well, those who were willing to take the sweet from it. I remembered that there were a lot of weary stares, unsure. Haha, never take a sweet from a stranger right? Aiya, I took the sweet anyway and so did two more of us. =P Our parents will be so proud. I was expecting a taste similar to Coca-Cola eventhough I have heard of Dr. Pepper's unique taste and fuck man, was it unique or what?! It's like this taste that you can't categorise. Not here, not there. The most common comment about it was that it tasted like a syrup you took for fevers.

I did not finish the can. Left about 1/5 of it. It also tastes nothing like pepper!

First Dining Experience in Juju.
Awesome place. A little pricey for the average student as well as your everyday-dining-needs. Finally got to go there. That place is always so packed and it doesn't help that it has limited seats. I found the part where we had to take our shoes off and put them in plastic bags pretty damn funny. A little troublesome too but the food made up for it. Sukiyaki was great! So was the BBQ but is that really a BBQ if it's done in stock? Haha. Great stuff anyway.

First Locked-Out-of-Room Experience.
Today, I experienced the very unforgettable experience of being locked out of my room. The very first time in this house. I guess the previous one doesn't really count because I forgot my wallet which had my keys in it... so hehe and it was in a different house anyway. Locked out for 5 hours!!! FIVE FREAKING HOURS. Thank God I was busy cooking and had the PS2 and also a couple of friends to entertain me. My stupid doorknob (which technically can't be stupid because it does not have a brain.) has this really weird habit of turning the lock back to the "locked" state if my lock is not entirely turned back. Not sure whether that even made sense to you. Anyways, that must have happened while I was in the kitchen and then a draft blew in through the window and BANG went my door. Nice. Maybe it was retribution for throwing soap water in S's face. HAHA. Then, is it a sign that God exists? @_@

Oh well, who cares and I secretly enjoyed the throwing so much that being locked out wasn't that bad anyway. ;P Whoops, guess it isn't a secret anymore! HEHE.

First Time To A Strip Club.
WOOHOO! More about this next time. xP
