Why I'm now indebted to Tan Aisha.
Saturday, November 14, 2009 @ 1:20 PM
It's because
Aisha showed me this site on facebook,
Mylifeisaverage. (Thank you, thank you thank you!) It's something like FML or GMH, but better because this one actually makes you laugh! FML makes you feel sad, while GMH makes you feel this surge of saintliness, sometimes not very authentic.
It's mostly posted by students, about awesome things that happen in their life. I read a few about how some of them got top grades for doing nothing and being smart-alacky, how they had swivel chair races down aisles in malls with the employees (I thought that was beyond brilliant), and the antics of their amazing teachers. They seem to have a lot of Harry Potter related posts, anti-Hannah Montana posts, posts about cool old people, and posts about cool teachers, though. But they are generally beyond brilliant.
A procrastination site that makes you giggle while rolling on the floor? What's not to like about that?
Some choice examples:
"Today, for dinner I ordered pizza online. There was a box to type in any special requests. I wrote in “Delivery guy must beatbox.” When I got my pizza, the delivery guy beatboxed all of Sexy Back. I have new faith in my local pizza places. MLIA"
"Today I got hit in the face with a ball during P.E. My mom told me when I get hit with something I should just fall over, so I tried it. The teacher freaked and sent me to the nurse who sent me home saying I should go to the doctor to see if I had a concusion. When I told my mom she laughed and wrote me a fake note. Guess who’s not participating in gym for three weeks? MLIA"
"Last night me and my friends went to office depot because we were bored. After a while of just wandering around, we found the swivel the chairs. We started racing up and down the aisles and about five minutes into our intense race an employee started walking over towards us. We though he was going to yell at us but instead he said,” May I join in your fun”. Within the next 15 minutes we were having swivel chair races with 8 of the employees. I think i’m going to come here more often. MLIA."
"Today, I was grocery shopping with my little brother when he asked me “Can we get Hannah Montana paper plates?”. Before I could protest he continued “I want to be able to stab her in the eyes with a fork every time I eat”. I taught him well. MLIA."
"Today my roommate who has never read Harry Potter picked up my Half Blood Prince book and opened up to a random page. She looked up in shock and said, “What kind of story is this?!” I was confused until she pointed to the line where Harry says, “I need to see what Draco Malfoy is doing inside you.” MLIA"
"Today, I was playing with the “Love Calculator” on the ipod touch. I was a little bit disappointed when I only got 35% compatibility with my crush, but a whole lot more excited when I got 100% compatibility with Harry Potter. MLIA"
"Today, I was on Mystery Google and I typed in “secrets!” and it came up with “QUICK! LOOK BEHIND YOU!” I quickly looked behind me to see my sister sneaking up about to scare me. She looked disappointed and walked off, I then wrote “thanks google :)” in it and it came up with “kisses and huggies?”. We’re not that close yet google, maybe next time. MLIA'
"Today, my sisters were talking about how everyone they know (including themselves) was getting pregnant. One said “There must be something in the air,” As my dad was passing by, he just stopped and said “Yeah. Your legs.” and went back to what he was doing. MLIA"
"Today, in class, my teacher was taking attendance when he threw me one of my tops, telling me that I forgot it the night before. The entire class was speechless. Little did they know, the teacher is my half brother and last night was the end of my weekend at Mom’s. MLIA."
"Today, some friends and I ordered a pizza online from Domino’s. When the online tracker told us who was bringing our pizza, we proceeded to make a colorful sign welcoming Geoffrey, Bringer of Pizza. The look on his face was priceless. MLIA"
"Today, while taking a walk outside, I passed a girl who looked about 11. She was singing “santa clause is coming to town” but with some of the words changed. I didn’t realise what she was singing until I heard “he sees you when you’re sleeping. you knows when you’re awake. his name is edward cullen so be ready to get raped.” you have restored my faith in today’s youth, little girl. MLIA"
"Today, I was called to the main office. They said I had a family emergency and that I was given permission to go home by my mother. When I got home, I called her right away to see what was going on. She told me she forgot to harvest her strawberries on Farmville and she wants me to harvest them before they die. I was too late. MLIA."
I actually spent hours reading these stuff. Aisha showed me the link in the morning - I stopped reading at about 5:12, with intervals between. I was reading this on the floor in my living room, with my laptop tilted 90 degrees as I lied down, with me giggling so much that my mum had to ask who I was talking to. I read her one or two and she laughed too. And even though I spent hours, I only got pass a few day's worth! Some of these are absolutely brilliant, and the ones I pasted out above are just the tip of the iceberg.
Another procrastination site. :P
And you know, whenever I actually read till the very end of each post, the MLIA part, now, I would always inadvertly read it as "My Life is Awesome" instead of "My Life is Average", before correcting myself right after. I guess it's because there's so much awesome-ness in those posts.

Sunday School.
Friday, November 13, 2009 @ 12:16 AM
I was uploading some of the Sunday School pictures on facebook (when I should be studying for my exam tomorrow hohohoho), and these are some of the pictures that I like, that deserves a space here:







Doesn't this just strikes fear into your hearts, for many different reasons?

If you're wondering, he has to do the dishes. Thus the expression.
Well, this Sunday would be the last Sunday School class for this batch of students now. For all the freaks they put us through, and all the rebellion, they're a great bunch. I'll miss them.

"On the Roman Catholic principle of expiating numerous sins, great or small, by one good work"
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 @ 9:26 PM
When do you find your paradise?
Or maybe the question should be where.
Strangely, I seemed to have found mine in that moment of abstraction, while I was quietly tearing up pieces of bread for stray dogs which might saunter pass later, and throwing them outside my gate.

For Different Days.
Thursday, November 05, 2009 @ 2:12 PM
I'm half-done with my exams, with only three more papers to go. Three more papers and then I can stop berating myself for being this indiscipline, easily distracted brat. I somehow cannot study for the whole day, and the number of distractions I go through annoys me. Never was there a day where I was truly satisfied by how much I've studied. Though studying Jane Eyre like what I do now is fun - a tedious task I must give up after my exams =[
My Economics paper 2 was yesterday, and I came out feeling like hell, when I was smiling and optimistic before the exam (I
was literally smiling). I can feel the A slipping away. But maybe it was paranoia, and I'm feeling much better about it after the exam, as I generally do. =D Though it would be awful to get a B in Economics - it's probably my best subject.
But then again, this post is a wish for better days. Not that the exam period is
torture, or any hyperboles like that, but there is a sense of guilt pressing down on me when I'm doing something other than studying, and there's this anxiety, this irritation that sits on my heart. I wish to get rid of it and have
some fun, though I'm quite repented from studying for an exam at the last minute. I used to just study,
when I do (precious little), not really realising that there is a difference between studying for an exam and studying, in general. But then again, that's what we
always say, isn't it? ;]
I want to get rid of all that, go out, watch my 'compulsary' movies, explore my places, visit my first art gallery, and maybe watch another good, local play. I want to really read again (though my obstinate love for Jane Eyre would prevent me from reading another book for a while. But nothing can come close to it!!!). And I want to go shopping, of course! I want to see all those colourful, pretty things; to go to Kinokuniya to absorb all that bookish-ness that makes me happy (I sound like an nerdy bookworm, but it's true! Kinokuniya is a wonderful, wonderful place!) I want to put all this down for a while, though I love trying to be my best in situations of duress like this; put everything behind me and have guiltless fun. Maybe put that 'PhD thesis' tag (though I swear I don't mean to write anything really long; bad explanations in essays just frustrates me) behind me, too :P
Maybe for
different days is the word. Less stressful, driven
days. Days where I know imperfection does not really matter, days where I revert back to disliking
kiasu people instead of probably being the
kiasu myself. Days where I do absolutely nothing, and wouldn't mind.
Ah, that was therapeutic; that was balm enough. Now, back to feminism, Rochester, and memorising a lots of passionate (think fury, not love) utterances.
Best of luck to anyone taking any exams ;] constant reminders that it will
all end eventually helps.

I'm at that level where I'm now sighing every 5 seconds and am grinning like a fool.
Oh, the ramifications of falling in love with the character you're studying for an exam.
Is that the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?
Rochester, whyyy......
SIGH.

I found this application in facebook, and I think it's fucking repulsive. I am so angry now, but I don't know how to report it.
Yeah to add insult to injury the person who uses it got comments - from guys who express disbelief on how he is such an expert playing this app.
