-Throws muck at blog-

SEE THIS WOULDN"T HAPPEN IF EVERYTHING JUST WORKED WITH ME LIKE A CERTAIN SOFTWARE WITH ANIMATING ABILITIES WHICH BEGS ME TO WRITE ACTIONSCRIPTS THAT IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO.

Do you have any idea how communicating with a piece of written code is like?

That sums it up. But then i will put the software's neck on it.

Even better. Bound.Gaged.Ready to face doom.

I'm really sorry about the lack of updates but seriously, updating now is like wearing your rattiest underwear and singing on broadway.

If that made any sense at all.

With this drab skin, all i can focus on is making the blogskin work.

Which sucks big time.

Maybe a tortured accent can make the process easier.

Whatever, toodles folk. Its back to the drawing board.

The ants have drowned themselves in kitchen basins of doom.

Weather forecast for the rest of the week:

Sunny

Rainy

Humidity at all time high

Lorem Ipsum Blabity blah blah

Yeah, I can feel the joy of being back too.

I'm not dead.

However, Christmas is a dangerous season to be out on.

No one smiles, although they do manage to buy one by the time they get home.

It also brings on the most destructive force in the world : THE SHOPOCALYPSE

Which we should stop. Therefore everyone's getting a handmade toothpick.

There was suppose to be a freaking flash here but no website take takes me seriously.

Hiatus then!Or blogging from overseas.

Thanks again to the almighty power of Amazon's "You might also be interested in the following" feature. I have found my band of the month. By band of the month I mean putting thir album on loop for the rest of the month until the lyrics are seared into my brain.

Meet The Hush Sound.


Plus they have a song the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack. Which is strange I suppose because a proper soundtrack for snakes should feature lots of rattling and hissing and screaming.

I have finally iconised Heroes along with a bunch of other misc stuff that i half remember making a a mental note to myself to iconise.Photobucket is down though. Will make another mental note to put them up later.

Plopped myself in the middle of Woodlands Circle today. What do you know, it was actually a circular kind of place.

Pleasantly surprised that some places are still mean their given names.

It is very disturbing to be called "teacher".

Looking after six year old is not for the faint hearted.

The craft session didn't go over too well.

Neither did the story telling session.

And when the stage was given to them for the purpose of a clever narrative with Lego toys.

It ended up in tears mostly and a plot to rid the child care teacher.

Accidentally swore which of course resulted in a " Why are you allowed to use bad words?"

Speaking of interesting questions ,I was thrown off by the boy who asked Vanessa and I what our boyfriends drove.

Apparently, mine drives a yellow convertible and Vanessa's drives a red one.

Holiday Child Care Programmes: Unabashedly in your face.A place of sociopolitical gamesmanship with a serving of hedonism, sadism and egoism.

Walked home reading a book and walked into a metal pole.

Funny why i never noticed that pole in the middle of the walkway before.

Maybe it was something to do with the Pasar Malam.

Twiddledeewise
No,i'm not going to do anything until the absolute last minute. At which point I will be turned into a headless chicken.

Bookswise
Love the national library for upping the loan quota.

Finished A spot of bother by Mark Haddon which was a brilliant book in my opinion because you don't get too many groovy old man trying to cut off tumors with scissors. Or homosexual stereotypes who are actually being characteristic instead of being the comic relief guy.

"Sorry, but we don't date comic relief characters." giggle.


Oh and also finished Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer which was the opposite of brilliant. However punching a werewolf and then getting a broken arm is made of win.Uncyclopedia probably sums it up best.

"I couldn't have written this book without the help of listening to My Chemical Romance for four hours a day in my basement while watching Gilmore Girls”
~ Stephenie Meyer on Twilight


“Yep. All thanks to me.”
~ Gerard Way on Twilight


“Now that I have Edward Cullen, I'll never have to read self-help books on finding a boyfriend again!”
~ Every teenage girl having trouble dealing with reality on Edward Cullen


“Daddy?”
~ Edward Cullen on Count Dracula

Looking forward to more books.

Watched and loved Enchanted. I never thought Disney could put out something good again after the repeated airings of High School Musical 2. The beginning sequence of the movie was fantastic. Giselle(Amy Adams) had every iconic Disney Princess tilt and shake of head down pat. Even when she ended up in New York. I doubt anyone can pull off the Disney Princess better than Amy Adams, thus she totally made the movie.

Look who showed up as Prince Edward. Beam me up Scotty would probably be inappropriate here.

Waiting around for the Golden Compass to start and hopefully watching atonement on the way back from Hong Kong.

Avatarwise

Avatar the last Airbender must be about the only saving grace of mainstream cartoons credibility.

I mean look at the recent slew of cartoons: Scoobydoo (mixing old animation with vibrant colours is just bad, Yu Gi Oh (any card/monster duel. There is just no point)etc.

You also get its so bad its actually good: Totally Spies(they are just...colour coordinated), Johnny Bravo ( Its out of run but its so freaking funny) etc.

I mean look at the effort put into the elaborate backgrounds alone

Nothern Air Temple



Blood Bending Site


Earth King's Throne Room


Fire Nation City


Wan Shi Tong Library otherwise known as the Great Owl's library which resides in the middle of the desert

And the premise of the show is really good too.

A short synopsis

The Avatarverse divided into four great nation based on their elementals : Water, Air, Earth and Fire. Each nation has its specific elemental control disciplines called bending (airbending, earthbending etc) and each of them has been based on different types of martial arts.

The world is thrown into turmoil when the Fire Nation attacks the rest of the nations to "share" their greatness. Enter the Avatar ,master of all four elements. The avatar's duty is to maintain order between the four nations but due to the fact that the avatar has been missing for a century he has been kind of shirking his duties.

Katara: "Water…Earth…Fire…Air. Long ago, the 4 nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all 4 elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world…"

Believe me the maturity, subtlety and humor contained in this show is something well worth watching.

Finished watching Heroes which was as awesome as everyone said it was. Season two was a little bit of a let down though, understandably with the writer's strike going on but more could have been done. A lot more could have been forgone.

The will to iconise this series is strong.

Otherwise


Yeah well, its microsoft! Figures.

The other day i was thinking that if i ever got sorted into Griffindor.

I would spend the rest of my days in Hogwarts wondering if Gordric really put brains into that hat.

Holidays are a ho hum affair. Although i do hope to catch up on my movie intake and sort out my school work (hah as if)

Many shows to watch. Looking forward to watching The Golden Age. The trailer was powerful and Cate Blanchett as a queen is always worth watching. Heck, give her the Oscar already.

Remixed some moments of 2007 here, pure 3 Truth class. It not (quite) a photo montage so you won't be bored stiff watching it.


Now, what shall I do next?

"Am i a true blue Singaporean? You betcha."

Backs away slowly.

See this line is part of my cover in the Great Singapore Conspiracy. Keep them ignorant and take them down from within.

Totally diabolical.

Hang upside down.

In the inverted world, where land becomes sky and all is exchanged, stars don't hide.

They dance for you.

The city skyline is wasted walking upright.

Nothing is happening.

Why is nothing happening?

There is a doom and gloom cloud hovering.

Somewhere.

It will hang around for as long as i don't get this site up and running with swanky new skin.

But for now:
Cabbages.

I thought you should know that the blue here depresses me, probably because it has blue undertones.

Speaking of blue, I asked the Social etiqutte teacher today where she got that adorable pastle skirt.

Will probably never do that again.

Do schools today kill creativity? (Ken Robinson, TEDTalks)


Flaws in education systems are prevalent throughout the world.

Teacher's aren't getting paid enough, some stifle creativity others are breeding grounds for junkie addicts.

I have never heard of Sir Ken Robinson but I think this is one of the best speeches I've heard.

Imagining all insects extinct would bring along the downfall of the world as we know it. Imagining all humans extinct would allow the entire earth to flourish once again.

If we don't contribute to the world by using our gifts of creativity, can i just say.

Parasites much?

Long live Monkeys!

Hohumwise
The rubbish chute smells like dragon's breathe.


Tvwise
I have also discovered the evils of daytime tv. Never having watched it before because of previous preoccupation.
They screen cartoons for the most part. Slowly driving you mad with its theme songs and mindless routine. ("Hey everybody I'm Dora the explorer. Now lets pretend I don't know where the coconut tree is and you spend half an hour telling me where it is!")
Almost as bad as sitting on a "Its a small world ride" and learning the song in all the different languages.

Day time TV is Satan.

Socialnetworkingwise
I am currently pondering on the complexity of facebook.

I don't really get it. Why do I want to throw sheep.

Or does that sheep want to be thrown.

Bookwise
I have two books to keep me busy. A new book by Meg Rosoff and Lord of the Rings. So far there have been talking trees and two boys and a hut. Not necessarily in that order.

Androgynouswise
Mysterious white stranger is a male.

Highly stylised here but a male nonetheless.

However,i don't really care if you are a female who wants to do a male voice or transsexual who hasn't changes his/her voice box yet.

Otherwise
Look a flying lemur!

It will take me another ten years before I'm ready for another trip to the zoo.

It is exhausting and the animals lull me to sleep.

Besides their only preoccupation seems to be hmm... Where should I stone?

Aside from animals on crack, I have also come to a conclusive deduction on examinations.

All teachers should carry an icon like this:



Because really, this time round i have merely offered my butchered answers on a silver platter for the teachers to stain in red crosses.

Great times.

My video has been finished so you can officially view it on youtube

It includes credits which i forgot to put in the last time.

Alternatively, you can download a high res version but since I haven't got that up yet you will just have to wait.

My tagboard has also been devoured by evil spirits and my blogskin torn apart by savage beasts so it will have to take a while before I deal with them.

Be content with the comment board.

I am looking for anyone who has a decent microphone and can pull off a voice suited for a mysterious white haired stranger.

Today's Meditation word is:
Baloney

Honestly

There is nothing that drags time longer than examinations.

Well the end of exams have proven interesting

1. Because there was an old tap dancing guy at the cross junction at Junction 8.

2. There are still schools who have exams.

It's it wrong to feel glee at other's grief?

Guess not.

On colours....

"Its yellow,"my mum says poking at the lettuce on her plate.

"No, its clearly green."

I don't know why, but debates on colours are very important in our family.

"I think its green," piques my sister.

"No, its yellow."

"Green."

"Bev?"

Right, I forgot to give my verdict. All eyes on me.

"Magenta?"

My sister rolls her eyes, I hope they get stuck like in the Enid Blyton Story where a boy screwed his face when the wind changed direction.

"You're no use"

Cue shrug.

The argument goes on and now my mum has been accused of being colour blind.

It's a piece of lettuce , tired and dangling, awaiting its preordained fate.

So I go "Oh god," and plucked it off her plate.

"There. Now its eaten. Happy?"

Silence,but silence has never sat well with anyone with an opinion.

"Must be the hormones," my dad suggests with raised eyebrows.

"She has hormones?"

Clever Tiff.


Edit/ Why would anyone let Hilary Duff near a microphone?

My chem teacher drinks tea from conical flasks because he's cool like that.

Apparently SPH is launching something bigger than STOMP...

In Chinese!

I have no idea on how to respond to another stomp-alike portal.

For those in desperate need of a handphone, feel free to check out their pre-launch game.

Basically, you just try to snap pictures of graffiti, doughnut worshippers and Paris Hilton look alike. I think they threw in a flying monk somewhere too. And a flamingo. No game is complete without a pink flamingo.

While this is sort of addictive, an alternate time-waster is the LINE RIDER game



Get the little dude to stay on a straight course and try for loops and curves.

Before i forget, here's to one of the best flash animators in the macabre/horror/fairytale genres.

Ida's luck isn't one of my favorite movies but do check out her gallery.

That concludes today's post.

Phenylethalimine(say that 5 times)

Mushrooms must be my favourite classification of fungi.

Thus, hail the mushroom king. He's friendly.

Today's english oral was interesting on all accounts. Its seems that the O level oral has developed a penchant for really weird passages and topics.

Therefore, I concluded that we should give suitably weird answers.

Examiner: Do you enjoy going to the Supermarket with your family?

Me: (Rambles about the valuable opportunity for family bounding)...
I also enjoy the senseless elevator music at the supermarket because its very soothing. Besides that, there is always something new in the frozen meat section. There was this one time where they had pig hearts for sale and it was fascinating because i could identify the aorta and the arteries and prepare for my biology exam.

I just got rocked by a 7.9 earthquake.

I'm not sure how many people have picked up A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle but it was one of the first book that I've read which mixed fantasy and science.

I was Primary four, the concepts were facinating. I spent a great period of time relating Madeleine L'Engle's concept of tesseracting to anyone who would listen.

She has left us but I think she pretty much immortalized herself with her books.

Walking through a supermarket is really therapeutic.

There is something disturbing about a little a girl in pink playing Xbox.

And then cheering everytime she manages to hit on target,casuing blood to fleck the tv screen.

I can almost imagine an army of pink droids.

Reading magazines at a hairdressers is very difficult. You have to stay still,look straight ahead while trying to pursue a battered copied of whatever it is they give you.

They have this magazine segregation thing at the hairdressers. Cleo for women and the FHM for men. If your age falls somewhere in between they give you some japanese hairstyle magazine.

Well, it happens at the shop i was at anyway.

Dreamt about chopping vegetables yesterday and then i looked up the dream interpretation book.It means I need spiritual nourishment. Oh and dreaming about many snakes means you have psychic issues.

Hokay.

Then I woke up this morning and felt that I needed to know someone who could make crop circles. Later, I told Zhuwei and Myra. They laughed.

I remembered there were no crops in Singapore. All we have is smelly hydro vegetables things that have sprayed nutrition. Which reminds me that i read somewhere that they have this whole place where they kept food at sub zero degree in case an apocalypse happened or we choked on our own smog.

The crops part made me sad.

The smog part urged me to write a story about Gaia.

I should dye my hair blue.

......

Srsly?

We should like all get maps in case you know,she wants start educating us and such.

edit/

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our children

Those who can't draw, get photoshop and try to manipulate art.

A happy night,doing my project when i received messages that school had been canceled.

In case you didn't already know. It was on account of a massive power failure.

And I thought things like that happened on Snow Days.

We can all have a little giggle at his expense.

So,last night my parents had fun insulting the contestants in Campus Superstar while lamenting about how the music industry isn't quite up to par compared to their days.

Its a popularity contest. The results are always rigged. Not electronically maybe but i will bet you that the Shawn guy has cuteness rays .Thus, every time you look at him through the goggle box he will test to see if your mind is susceptible and then it will switch on the chemicals that makes you vote for him, inexplicably.

Right, as established earlier, sms talent shows exist for the sole purpose of eliminating the weak who watch too much tv.

Pffffttt.

With the English project due on Wednesday, i feel that its due time to put some of the earlier cuts of my movie here.

Criticisms are welcome but be gentle, its delicate.

Opening sequence, it features Romeo and Juliet at a Night Club.

I just realized its too late to start revising for the End of Year Exams.

damnation.

Avatar the Last Airbender Season 3: Fire begins 21st September.

And can i just say, that makes me a very happy girl.

There was once a research done on how funny an email circulation was. Research shows that although the initial person who receives the joke in the email may be tickled,as he forwards it out, people find it only 33% as funny as the forwarder.

Disregarding this fact, I shall post an email circulation on my blog
Because no one who actually cares puts money into researches like that.

Read this outloud and if you mess up start over, since it won't make sense.

This is this cat

This is is cat

This is how cat

This is to cat

Now go back and read the THIRD word in each sentence from the top.

Is there a colour for surrealism?

I imagine is a little like a twisted puce which in turns turn to another palette of twisted colours that no one has names for.

Oh well, it has been a slow week so i took the opportunity to finish up a little photo manipulation that I had been working on during National Day.

What to do with a couple of dolls that you have long since abandoned?

Ta da!

Juliet: Go away!
Romeo:But...but
Juliet:I KEEL YOU!

Meet my models:Helen and the Boyfriend Nameless 2.

Gasp. A gun-wielding Barbie. I know, its morally wrong, its almost like Disney channel mentioning the existence of reality but Barbie did boast that she has been in almost all the careers open to the world.She has just never held a gun.

This was one of my rejected work for the English response project but it was so much fun doing it i decided to finish it.

The idea was that Romeo was a jerk since he did tossed his infatuation with Rosalina rather quickly. Juliet should have seen through that. Saved herself some grief and got rid of him before he could proceed with the balcony scene because i think night air and wine isn't the best mix for logic. Ken pretty much is Romeo since they both don't do much thinking and Juliet ,like barbie, should have dumped him long ago and gone after someone from sunny California.

High School Musical in the background. Is it just me but was a sequel really necessary? I think it represents a true case of using the story Romeo and Juliet as a cash cow and how stories have been dumbed down for tweens.

I mean wouldn't it have been a great ending if maybe Zac fell off stage and Vanessa seeing her love flying, hurried to follow in example.

It would solve the problem of sequels.

In other news, I am still trying to work my way through the machinima for the Sims 2 Project :Romeo and Juliet. Although I hope i can put an early preview here or just place my characters around because generally critique from my sister has not been encouraging.

During dinner
Sister: So do you want me to sit by you while you work so that I can just piss you off?


And because having a social life in St Nicholas isn't quite enough. I indulge in a fantastical alternate universe that is Harry Potter with friends dictated by quizilla.

Social Life at Hogwarts

Most people that know you, like you. You are a little shy, friendly, and very sweet and innocent. You try your best in your studies and often get an okay grade. You are scared of the dark, monsters, and bugs. You love your friends, but sometimes don't trust all of them. You are very quiet around strangers, but when your with your friends you could be the loudest person in the room.

Harry: He is happy for you and Ron and thinks you are a great person. He is kind of torn about who he thinks should be with Ron in the end. It's either you and Hermione, but he thinks you are both good for Ron.

Ron: He loves you. He's glad that you both share the same fears, such as spiders. He thinks you are great to be with and is completely comfortable in your presence. He knows that you and Hermione have a tension between you and always leaves quickly when you three are all together. He is so glad you are his girlfriend, and prays that you'll never leave him.

Hermione: She hates you because you took Ron away. Her logical side knows she's judging you wrong, but her heart refuses to forgive you. She wants to be your best friend again, like she was before you started dating Ron, but everytime she sees you with him she storms off. Jealousy is a tricky thing.

Ginny: She is one of your closest friends. She can't wait til you and her become sisters-in-law. However, she is also torn, like Harry, on who is more of Ron's soul mate. She always says gross when she sees you and Ron snogging, but besides that she's happy that your around the Burrow all the time with Ron.

Neville: He thinks your nice, but that's basically it.

Fred and George: They adore you and pick on you for going out with Ron. They like to tease the two of you when you are snogging and laugh when you both blush. They always tell you about there pranks and love how you laugh and appreciate them. They are ready to weldome you into the family.

Oliver Wood: He doesn't know you that well. Only sees you as the quiet girl who is Ron's girlfriend.

Cedric Diggory: Doesn't know you.

Cho Chang: Thinks you are really cute and the sweetest little thing. She thinks you are very innocent and is always very nice to you.

Lavender Brown: She finds it hard to hate you, since you are so nice and all, but deep down she hates you with every fiber in her body. She is thinking of joining with Hermione to get rid of you, but knows that Hermione wouldn't go that far.

Draco Malfoy: Thinks you and Weasley deserve each other. Both blood traitors. Deep down he wishes he found someone like that, but won't admit it. He thinks you're an okay person, but can't say that for fear of getting punished.

Pansy: Doesn't know or talk to you.

Crabbe and Goyle: Same as Pansy.

Dumbledore: He thinks you are very nice and wishes you the best with Mister Weasley.

McGonagall: She appreciates your effort in class and thinks you are a great student. She just wished that you and Mister Weasley would stop staring at each other during class.

Hagrid: He thinks you are a great girl and laughs when you and Ron always blush. He thinks you two are the cutest couple. He calls it 'puppy love'.

Snape: He doesn't notice you and doesn't care. He takes house points from you every now and then, not because he hates you, it's because you always manage to do something wrong in your potions.

Voldemort: Is thinking of using you to get Ron, but doesn't know if you're worth the trouble. Has you on his list of people to kill, but you aren't exactly his top priority.

I am not high on Voldermort's hit list?!

-is jealous-

I think i have given it an entire year and i still don't get the "Finding Yourself" thing that I am supposed to be doing.

I suppose I have to walk into some little town and go "Oh, there you are Beverly, where the hell have you been!"

I have never been one to keep to a hiatus especially when they are not huge in your face photoshop pieces announcing that fact that I'm gone.

It wouldn't do a leave justice and feels like I have shortchanged people somehow.

So while i spent the week sick and wishing I could braid my non-existent long hair, I also remembered some long overdue mention of my favourite flash animator.

Yes, Nameless 6 Volume 1 is out! In case you have completely missed out on LazyMuffin's Adventures of Cripple Boy and Chocolate Man Click Here to view how it all started
This will make God believing in PPG more plausible then ever.

I have been going crazy over ideas for the English response project to Shakespeare. I can't seem to fix myself to a single idea and just stick to it.

Which is annoying because I know I will never get anything done at this rate. I have just viewed some of the most mesmerizing typography art and I want to create one for Shakespeare too but I also want to do a little machinima trailer of a modern Romeo and Juliet with my own movie production logo thingy.

I don't really like my studio name. Maybe i will think of some other one.

Amazon product match must be the best thing ever because through my browsing i have stumbled across this band called Meg and Dia and their single "Monster" is really good. They labelled themselves as pop/rock/indie which is weird because the last time i checked, Indie was not a genre.

Whirlwind Week!

I think the passion has wrung itself out.

I blog now like its an obligation which is a screwy feeling.

While i mull over the fate of this blog.

Indefinite Hiatus.

Thoroughly exhausted yesterday.

After the whole debate adrenaline got drained I zoned out for the rest of the day and slept through tea at Crystal Jade prompting a waitress to say that the education system is too hard on us.

Then she gave me free dim sum to take home.

I read Sumiko Tan's column about the environment today

Most Singaporeans are definitely Eco poseurs.

No one brings an envirometally friendly bag to NTUC and then promptly fills it with plastic bags at the check out counter. That has defeated the entire purpose on the Save the Enviroment thing.

Punctuation is Key.

"Eat Smart Kids"

Reading books written in prose poetry is depressing.

On Monday I wanted to blog.
But I didn't think you wanted an update on my life so I chose geography over the Internet.

I didn't think much on Tuesday.

Wednesday came along and then kinda skittered away.

Now,another day has dragged on and I'm thinking "Damn, I don't have anything to blog about. Will people be angry that they don't have anything to read? Maybe throw those veggies that were given to us at me."

Then i remember:
We are not in medieval times and people have more class than to throw free vegetables.

Organic maybe.

Besides,people will understand.

People are very understanding.

I woke today to find Deathly Hallows lying next to me.

It stunned me. Here it was, all pretty and black with its embossed gold words. Like all the copies before whose covers hasn't been ripped off by my sister yet.

It followed all the old cliches, revolved around an all familiar theme. Yet,no one can deny that Harry has left its significant mark on the literary world. It motivated children to read, gave the Young Adults section a new sort of respect.

Words and ideas mean so much.

I have actually been thinking about how to say goodbye to the series for over a year now. How do you say that to a series that you have been reading since Enid Blyton's stories got repetitive?

Theories have been ricocheting off everywhere before the release of Deathly Hollows. Strangely enough, most of what everyone predicted came true in the way that you know that the pool water is ice cold but still surprised when you actually plunge into it.

The last book of the series didn't move me to tears, it didn't make me laugh.I think i may never ever read a Harry Potter book cover to cover for the millionth time ever again. It won't be the same, knowing the ending and everything but in all the time done waiting for the actual final book, compelled me to really venture beyond Harry.

Quite honestly,if we lived in a fair world, there would be books that should be welcomed with the same fanfare as a new book by Jo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be minors spoilers in this segment of my post.

Loads of people get killed in the book. Not only two. It would be a tussle of heartstrings as readers will be the judge of which characters they considered the closest to them, thereby determining the importance of the loss.

It was scary to remember how vulnerable Voldermort was. How really, he could be a grandfather.

The ending part was the best but i don't hold too much affection for the epilogue because,
Albus Severus anyone? Wtf. Rowling definitely drunk too much champagne when she came up with that name.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
End of Spoiler


Harry Potter has woven a tapestry of voices not only within it but in the Muggle world as well. It has built communities,forged friendships, left a solid imprint even to those who might never read it.

Harry was part of the big picture. The big picture that didn't only belong to him but to everyone who has felt what a fantastic story can do. For that a huge credit must be given to the author who has given us the boy wizard.

Thank you JK Rowling.

PS-Today marks the 666th post

(2007) squared

To all the people who didn't let me finish what i wanted to say about parasites.

Larvae take up residence on man's head
CARBONDALE, Colo. (AP) - Doctors thought the strange, bleeding bumps on Aaron Dallas' head might be from gnat bites or shingles. Then the bumps started moving.

A doctor found five active bot fly larvae living beneath the skin atop Dallas' head.

"I'd put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head," Dallas told the (Glenwood Springs) Post Independent.

"I could hear them. I actually thought I was going crazy."

Dallas said he likely received the larval infestation while on a trip to Belize this summer. Bot fly infections are not uncommon in parts of Central and South America.

Adult bot flies are hairy and look like bees, without bristles. The larvae, which are about one-third the size of a penny, were living in a pit 2- to 3- millimeters wide. They were removed Thursday.

"It was weird and traumatic," said Dallas, of Carbondale. "I would get this pain that would drop me to my knees."

After a specialist told him he might have shingles, Dallas tried different creams and salves. But the pain only got worse.

"When I saw him again, it was pretty obvious something else was going on," said Dr. Kimball Spence, who could see the spots moving on Dallas' head. "There's an open pit. You see a little activity, not necessarily the larvae, but a fluctuation of the fluid in the pit."

Dallas' wife, Midge Dallas, teased him about it.

"I told him, 'I will love you through your maggots,'" she told the newspaper.

But Dallas saw little to laugh about.

"It's much funnier to everyone else," he said. "It makes my stomach turn over. It was cruel."

There is a video that shows the pulling out of larvae but i think i will leave that out.

"Bot fly infections are not uncommon in parts of Central and South America." Note to self, do not go there.

Kid #2: Yes! Seriously! Gosh, you're acting like SpongeBob!-Overheard in New York

for myra

I gave the same number of stars to something that won an academy award and the chances of Harry Potter ever earning an Oscar for best picture would be…

Well, it would be small.

Every time a new Potter film comes out the cast will say it’s darker, (it did at one point literally meant that it got darker), but I am somewhat glad that they got David Yates to direct this film.

It has that repressed emotions that are churning within the movie every time Dan gets the impulse to break something or shout at something. You can almost hear them swear but they don’t because of the PG rating but you’ll add it in your head anyway. In fact, it would not have been surprising if Ron looked at Harry in the middle of the movie and asked if he needed some pot.

I bet David Yates did that on purpose.

They got all the pairings right. Finally. Although I still don’t see how Ginny and Harry happened but it was better then seeing Hermione going for Harry and stealing all of Ron’s lines.

The acting was less excruciating this time round .Apart from the fact that Katie Leung isn’t pretty but spends her role trying to look pretty failing to do so and then remember that she was suppose to act.
.
The rest of the cast did well, Emma has forgone the shrill that she used in the fourth film which is always a plus and Rupert has widened his vocabulary, now he can speak in complete sentence as compared to GoF where his aim was primarily to exclaim BLOODY HELL every chance he got. Evanna: ethereal and perfect. Bonnie should have gotten more screen time. They cut the best one liner from the book ( “Give her hell from us peeves”) Imelda was brilliant. Most of the adult casts were. Sirius had tattoos printed all over his body. Now we know how he escaped from Azkaban. He’s going to sue Prison Break any day now.

The icing on the cake was that they muted Dan when he was crying for Sirius. It was a subtle and almost beautiful move. I couldn’t stand it when he cries or weeps or whines or moans or basically any form of acting that requires grief or anger.

With all the suppressed emotions going around, there isn’t much time for laughing. Tensions sometimes tear and when the trio does eventually crack a weak laugh you will laugh along with them.

This movie isn’t a crown jewel. More like an ice sculpture, it would melt eventually but it was pretty and worth looking at while it lasted.


still no internet

Guy looking suspiciously at the counter mints: Are you sure this isn't polo? Because polo will kill my sperms.

At least we know some one's concerned about our population.

In other news, my modem fused so i have no Internet now.

I think i can make it.

Technical help stinks.

Hiatus till some wise guy from the modem department decides to give a damn.

LIBERATION

We held the election rally today for our Head Monitor and Head Prefect. Yiying and Andrea did a wonderful presentation and i finally understand the erm importance of our toilet seats.

While I take my leave for another long week,i had been up to graphic designing w hile ago and thought i would share one of them.

Credit if used just link back here.

I have acquired a Sims 2 game. Right now I'm naming them and then afterwards i will kill them off one by one while they compete for a million dollars and a way to escape a mansion with Paris Hilton singing at the top of her voice.

Or a cat yodeling, whoever's available.


Edit/
I forgot to put something here, it's my own tongue twister i thought of when i was in lit!
who judges the judge who judges wrong
okay not very twisty but it has a nice sort of ring to it.

I'm tired,furstrated and ,as a girl, nearly reduced to tears while destroying words.

But then i bet with my sister that i wouldn't cry tonight.Losing $2 will make me cry a little harder.


Mentorship
I really want to stop writing now. Nothing is coherent and for about 300 words i am rambling on about something that doesn't have a point.
I have 2 definite stories another one which has one sentence and 2 other ideas.
Oh,i also have 5 hours to finish all that if i keep all this up till 3am.
Which i don't plan to because i'm sleeping at 12pm.

So the motion of tonight is :
Do I really want this?

The rest of the week will probably be an endless parade of non-commitable nods of head and frustrated grunts.

I have just finised burning my sugar into caramel and i must say i didn't know it would turn such a nice colour. I will promise to post the video up soon

Because this post is short here are some samples of the link buttons that i was talking about:

Leave comments and as i said you can always tell me what picture your link should be.

"I can't believe you're using Shakespeare as a point of comparison for J.K. Rowling! That's like comparing Mozart to The Pussycat Dolls"-random user on deviant art forum

Ooo. Touchy.

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me.

A little repackaging can do wonders.

Mom: Look! They put the dim sum in square boxes instead of round ones! Creative. Lets eat here.

Slightly uneventful day. I've noticed a general decline in the number of people coming for the St Nicholas open house although most of the people i talked to generally seemed "impressed".

The word "good girls" was thrown around a couple of times as well.

Pfft.

Oh and the P6 students are getting smaller each year.

I don't remember being so tiny.

But then i used to wear a headband.

Todaywise
We were given a sex education talk on STIs and Aids.

Speaker: I want to say that I'm-
Stacy starts laughing hysterically
Speaker:also a CHIJ girl

A few minutes later...
Stacy:I thought she was going to say she had Aids

We also played softball. In my opinion, it is the most useless game to be taught. We run around and try to catch people with gloves.

I think i would have preferred playing Police and Thief.


Schoolwise
We have officially rescheduled so i'm trying to figure out which day of the week i hate the most.

Teacherwise
We have a new chemistry teacher. He started off the class by telling us how to save him when he has an heart attack and he has a website and he's 49.
He keeps screwing up his face,looking lost before remembering what he wants to do.
Very astute.

Tearmyhairoutwise
Men are still killing each other in the books
Being editor is going to be hard.For the most part,I think i lost my compass.

CAPwise
Done one story. Four more to go.Wondering where I'm going to get any inspiration.

Otherwise
Today i burnt my maths homework. Not that i hate it. But paper is just so burnable.

Endwise
"Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginativly bankrupt"
"I can't help it. I use my rapier wit to hide my inner pain"- city of bones

Entertainmentwise

I finished the TVB drama Heart of Greed.I have finally remembered why Taiwan dramas are nothing compared to the compelling story lines that Hong Kong throws at us.

Musicwise
I have discovered the music of a dead singer: Tiny Tim

You might remember his vocals from shows like Sponge Squarepants.

Very distinctive.

WTFwise

At times like these,I loath Hollywood

Just a quick question though.Since the tagline is out of the box and we all know what bratz dolls look like why aren't they heads digitally enlarged to look like this:

Schoolwise

I hate homework.

Blogwise

Major revamp coming up where i will give the blog a whole new makeover.Including the links department where i am considering using pictures as links to blog.Plus i need to update them.You can drop a line to what your link should look like.

Endwise

Shakespeare is going to take me out for high-tea.Toodles.

My sister made rock cakes! Orange flavoured ones.

I helped beat the egg.

Sister: Where are the sprinkles?

Me:Uh...

Sister:I thought you were putting it inside the cake?

Me: I put it on top and i sorta ate them

Sister: Sprinkle Stealer!

If there's one animation studio who loves their work, its Pixar.

For one thing, Money to them is almost relative. Which is saying a lot compared to other studios.*coughdreamworkscough*


I just chanced by their new animation due in Summer 2008 and the trailer looks amazing.

It holds a lot of promises,although the whole thing is just about a minute long.

Reportedly, its going to be devoid of any dialogue Which is interesting, its like taking Charlie Chaplin and infusing it with the best technology the world has to give. An odd mesh i suppose, but we do talk a lot.

Icon later, when itunes stops being a jerk.

On to unhappier things,

It must be understood that one of the greatest achievements of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms(三國演義) is the extreme complexity of its stories and characters

I don't get the translation of the chinese title to english. There is nothing remotely romantic in the whole story unless warring is considered as mating.

I'm only at chapter 3 right now and so far 2 people have died already.There are a lot of chapters in this book.

It is with these novels that my appreciation for chinese culture wavers.

Look!

Books! Scott Westerfeld has compiled the best reading list for the year.Further details here

I have finished my camp at SPH. Slightly uneventful except when Utt appeared.St Nicholas has cemented its status as the school with the girl who pulled his hair out.

Two pieces of hair and none of them were blond. Boring black.

Then Natalie and I got interviewed for a Harry Potter article.

The reporter wanted both of us to dress in wizard robes for a cover photo in IN which we strongly opposed to. Apparently many people are enthusiatic to be on a cover.

If you take a moment to envision me in a witches' hat, you would understand that its not exactly cover material.

United Planktons.

Overheard in Perth

Young Woman on phone:....Yeah she found the dead rat in front of her doorstep. Ofcourse i put it there! No one takes a trip down to perth for fun.

Goth girl 1# : I was kissing him and i was like i should stop kissing him because i wanted to tell him that he already had a girlfriend that he had sex with 99% of the time. But i didn't.Do you think i should have?
Goth Girl 2#: What did the oracle say?

Apology for vanishing without a trace.

Its a cool feeling though like you are being wiped off the government system and you do not exist.

Simply existing is overrated anyway.

So, i did my existing over at Perth which is a sleepy state.

However, the conversations that you overheard are much more interesting then what the aunties are talking about here.

Photos:
No fancy work here.Pure colours, captured as best as i could with a 5 mega pixel camera.

Here's a new twist: Why did the kangaroo cross the road?

[Insert inspirational quotes here]

This is made of limestones!

Singapore doesn't offer this colour palette. Most of the time the colours here are dull. Either that or it looks like a glossy magazine cover. That's why most movies shot here look like a ready made tourist traps.

I got cut off my broadband for 2 hours.

Who cuts off my broadband.

Why i ougtta.

Blind them with terrible and horribly inappropriate medieval clothing

That didn't come out right.

Oh i know!

Blast them from a cannon

And i lost that post. Even on auto save. I lost a post.

Oh well, on to happier things. Someone knocked on my door this morning and told me today would be a brilliant day to reminisce on my youth.

So i did, i dug out my Sailor Moon CD collection from under a pile of really old movies. (Clash of the Titans anyone?) and put it into the new and improved system of the 2007 future.

Miraculously it still worked.

I cruise through the disclaimer that says: Suitable for all ages

To find that while they have got the children's attention fixated on the girls changing into pretty costumes, they play some serious adult undertones to the whole thing.

First an alien dude falls in love with a guy when they are young and they sleep together. He goes off to search for a flower to bring back to him.

The alien comes back with a killer flower and holds the guys hands and says that he has the perfect flower for him.

At this point i would like to add that Sailor Moon is starting to look unnecessary except at the point where she saves him, which plays on the whole feminist aspects of thing i suppose.

So while i gaze at this blatant exposure to homosexuality, Sailor Mercury makes a comment :" It wouldn't be surprising that guys are attracted to Damien too."

So one of my favourite shows when i was young wasn't so innocent after all.

I should have known better especially since the Characters cross-dressed a lot.

Ironside is in Kinokuniya.

Must. Have. Book.

I feel the urge to steal, who's up for a midnight heist?

I came back home and I forgot which toothbrush I used to use.


This will be a short post because i am not ready to post about CAP yet partly because the pictures aren't done ,the video isn't done either and i haven't figured out how to format the post.

Yes,I need a format.

But i would just like to say i loved CAP.The people,the atmosphere,the lessons,the weird green plastic beds, filming...

This could go on forever, it will just go on the list tomorrow.

Suffering from CAP withdrawal symptom.

edit/ I'm gone for 5days and someone decides to build a Harry Potter Theme Park in Florida.

Wiring Heartlands?!

So cool to say but what on earth am i suppose to write about it.

Because some things are just time fillers.

Somewhere between the rocking and the "arghhing". Jack Sparrow proclaims that he has lost his brain.

I agree.I think the franchise has lost their brain and unfortunately for them it shows.

"Do you think he plans all this or just makes it up as he goes along?" asks one of the thousand extra pompous sailors. The plot is, to put it quite simply, a blubbering pile of mess. There are thousands of loose ends and unnecessary subplots that don't resolve themselves.

Well, there was something about Betrayal.

Maybe that was the main theme.All the pirates were double crossing and triple crossing and quadruple crossing and halfway-through-the-movie-no one-cared-who-was-crossing-who crossing . Or it might have been about crabs.

There were lots of crabs.

It might even have been about how the state of the art technology is all that is needed in modern day cinema to make the film work.

State of the Art!

For this film, even Jack Sparrow is getting old. I mean that both literally and metaphorically. He doesn't appear until half an hour into the movie and through out the movie his charm slowly wilts and the only thing left standing is the Blah couple of the century, Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly. Fights between the Pirates and the English Navy was long,drawn out and terribly tedious.While Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones fought it out on the top of the ship, the rest of them filed their nails,poofed their hair and watched them tumble into the whirlpool.





The best part in the whole film must have been the ending.It truly came full circle and back to the first film where Jack Sparrow was seen on his little raft.At the same time, the brilliant people left an opening for a potential Fourth film.





The fact is, the only betrayal I see here is from Disney.They never fail to raise my hope in them,that they are once again doing something pure and magical, and crush it by revealing themselves as a money grubbing cooperation who are eager to siphon the wealth off Kids during summer.





Rating: 3/5



Ps. I didn't mention Chow Yun Fat because he died and he was an annoying idiot.

__________________________________________________________________



On the other hand, i am not your typical movie goer so the above review really shouldn't deter you from watching it because i know that people will love the show and want to see it again and own it on DVD.Making Disney richer and me sadder.

If i bottled up the scent up the June holidays and sold it in a ridiculously over priced perfume with some crazy advertising.

It would probably smell like this:The overwhelming smell of money.

And don't you big corporate companies(whether you're handling the shopping mall or a cinema)
think you can fool me.Because i know what you did last summer,and i know what you are doing now.

I have my eyes on you.

PotC review coming up i suppose,it would hurt to break the tradition.

Conversations with one's non-existent inner voice.

Me: Come closer.
Okay, here's the plan. On Thursday,we will have sit in protest. So we will sit in our seats and refuse to do the chemistry test. Then they can't make us do it.After which,we will tour the world and educate people on how the Mole Concept potentially induces an increased risk of hyper tension, asthma and diabetes...

Voice in my Head: Diabetes?

Me: I eat more when i study. If fact did you know,if you squash strawberries in between two cornflakes it tastes kinda good, especially when dunked in Coke.

Voice In My Head:-Silence-

Me: On to my diabolical plan. When we have brainwashed the people of the world, they will naturally overthrow the mole concept and have it removed from the face of this planet.Then we will need a new concept and because they have been brainwashed by us,we will introduce the new concept.

This concept will be that there is no concept in the first place and no one needs to know how to calculate atoms because we are actually made out of....Lamas.

The plan is brilliant. BRILLIANT!

Voice in my head:
I do not exist,therefore i do not belong to this lunatic.
I do not exist,therefore i do not belong to this lunatic.
I do not exist,therefore i do not belong to this lunatic.
I do not exist,therefore i do not belong to this lunatic.
I do not exist,therefore i do not belong to this lunatic.
I do not exist,therefore i do not belong to this lunatic.

This is the world's funniest joke?

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

Cue laughter?

I think not.

I love school because it fills up time.I hate school for exactly the same reason.

I always suspected i was as clever as a primate.Seems that my theory was correct.

I have been writing about zombies when i should be writing about Inspiration and Rewiring Heartlands.(kinda weird .wires inspire me to write about Frankenstein)

“I hate zombie season” I told Bob

“ I know.” He said sympathetically.

“You can’t go around the whole place without running over someone’s leg or hand or…”

“Ear?” he supplied helpfully.

“Ear.”

“The worst part is the golden ringed people from up there” I point ominously heaven-ward, “Think it’s a novelty.”

“No!” Bob said outraged.

“Yes,” I said.

That is about as funny as a wet sponge.

I think i shall continue with it.

I am hereby convinced that the school is hiding some sort of laboratory where they create the perfect little girls.

Like that movie when all the bad kids have perfect genes injected into them and they become so good and helpful and perky.

We even have the evil dictator role, in fact the dictator hinted at an ominous prospect

"You have to be obedient to succeed in life"

I will not stand to be reprogammed.

Take the red pill(or was it the blue one?)

Fight the system.

You know what?

Scared,scared,silly scared.

If i were a squid,i would poop black ink until the start of June.

Why I love my sister:

Daddy:I would love to visit Mount Rushmore.All the carved faces,Washington,Roosevelt,Lincoln-

Sister: And Queen Elizabeth!

After explaining what oxymoron was to my family(eg Deafening Silence.)My sister had her thinking face on.

Sister: Oh,you mean like Cashew!

Four things to do this week:

1.Find out what a vegeterian eats

2.Stop using the word "like" in every alternate sentence.Like,dude,i'm not from california.And i'm not fond of sea waters.

3.Decide if i want to play the Accordion.And if i want a pet monkey to dance if i do play the accordian.

4.Who am i?

Regarding the last thing of my to-do list.I had hoped it would never to come to this because its strange not to know who a person is especially if the person in question is youself.

But I went for CAP breifing and the lady who was breifing us asked something along the lines of who we are under all this cam whoring, photoshop and everything else we build online.

Its one of those big questions that comes with its own special effects.Echos and flashbacks.

I have a good sense of who I am I suppose. I'm Beverly,pleased to meet you.I don't shake hands.I won't(always) hug.The world forbid i gave you a kiss on each cheek.

Firmly rooted.

I should stop using the word "I" so much too.

I need a break.

Don't expect to see me in the next week or so.

(on the other hand i will still update through the little box on the bar)

I thought i should share this with everyone.

to remind us that we are all caterpillars ready to burst from our cocoons and come out as beautiful butterflies.

Flutter.

Flitter.

Collecting honey.

Then dying two weeks later.

The joys of life!

I would recount what i did yesterday night but i think i will just do another massive photoshop exercise. In case you're wondering why I'm doing all this, it's just because I'm really procrastinating over some other things that i don't really want to do.

I am channelling my energy into somewhere useful. Like chi.

So, I did a couple of bras the other for our Project work. I will post them up as soon as i am allowed to(after the presentation)

Its a whole collection.A designer line if you please because what other way to feel better about yourself then starting about what counts inside.

On second thought, maybe i'm not cutout for the underwear businness.

one survey a day, keeps the statistics people very very very happy.
