Being Emo = interesting blog entries?

This morning, I read an acquaintance’s blog. She said, she wished she was more emo, then she would write more interesting blog entries. Then, as an afterthought, she said nah she’s happy like this.

I’ve been feeling this way for a really long while.

If you hadn’t notice, I haven’t been doing serious blogging much, and even when I blog, very often it’s mundane, and really boring. I find my own writing boring, what more readers? Truth it, there’s nothing emo to talk about, and I’m best at emo writing, what with writing in incomprehensible chinese fake-poetry, or some cryptic words that do not make sense to anyone else but me.

However, like my acquaintance said, I’m happy like this. (:

I take small little joys in being able to want to sit alone at a cafe, poring over my laptop with a drink in hand and books strewn all over the table (like now as I await my class to start at 130 and chilling at Starbucks while waiting), going to the bank to deposit $14 into the CSC account because the CDM doesn’t take $2 notes (I didn’t know that until last night!), and listening to the awesome music coming out from my portable rig of the iPod and the Tf10s.

I take bigger joys in being able to meet loved ones for meals and movies and whatnots, with meeting the boyf for a home movie and dinner on friday, and Peanutto for A Spy for A Spy coming Saturday (Peanutto chan, if you’re reading this, rest well and drinks lots water!).

I take small little joys in watching the world go by, and stop thinking that the world hates me because I know it doesn’t. Very often, it feels as though nothing is going right; but little do we know, once you hit the end, the only way out is up.

Being happy is not an emotion, it’s a way of life that many of us neglect. It might seem as though nothing is happening in your life and everything seems really just mundane and normal, deep within you know yourself if you’re happy, or not. I love smiling at service staff, only to have them smile back at me because their customer (I), brightens their day by approaching them with a smile. They feel happy serving me, and both of us feel happy after the service.

I know I’m happy, how about you?

If being happy causes me to lose the knack of writing interesting blog entries, so be it. I’ll just have to bore everyone with my peacefully mundane happy life. (:

Albums

Had a sudden urge and craving to buy CDs, so I splurged out on 3CDs yesterday!

I’ve been looking for the full MIKA album for a while, but the price is a little off putting. Managed to get 3CDs for the price of $49.90 – Buble’s Crazy Love, Olstead’s skylark and High Society’s The Ten Tenors.

Totally awesome, I think I might have bored the boyfriend to tears when I was excitedly listening to the various High Society albums at Raffles City yesterday. Oops. Teehee.

Right off to do more work! Assignments due on Tuesday, and then after that we’re almost done – just one more presentation, one more individual report and one more group report left!

Mad tired.

Thank goodness the carnival is OVER – with the capitalised letters. Am mad tired, mad aching. Stank like mad after the entire carnival, climbed up and down the stairs today to double as photographer and emcee, when some others happily just stayed at their own station (snarkily unpleased).

It doesn’t matter anymore, it’s over, I just need to focus on the EL individual assignment, and my Social context essay (still half done!!) and 3/4 of the battle will be over! Not that it has been much of a battle anyways. The real battle starts next year, which is looming just around the corner. Scary, but promising.

I’m dead tired, but I’m looking forward to dinner date with the boyf. (: Missed him plenty this week, the last time I saw him was Tuesday, which was actually not that long ago, but all I want now is for him to lift me off the ground and pamper me like a little princess because I am dead tired. The soles of my feet are aching and I have the tendency to not move once I sink myself into a seat.

I’ve never been much of a stoner, but I actually enjoy sitting in a corner and stoning into the distance today. It happened especially often when three of us went off for a late lunch, and we were just so crazily tired, we were happy to just sit and stone. The silence was extremely welcomed.

The carnival was uneventful, and I must say, I’m glad it went well and nothing big happened.

Enough rambling, I want to stone and watch some teevee before I leave the house for my dinner date tonight! Teehee.

Mobile Themes @WP

Awesome news! Thank you WordPress! This is one of the main reasons why I’ve been such a big fan of WP. Jumped onto the WP wagon and never looked back at blogger ever since, unless of course, required for online assignments.

Tried accessing my own blog through my G1 and I absolutely loved it!

Achy eyes.

My eyes feel tired, and I have been slightly productive today, while going through 4 episodes of GG.

Ooops. But I had a brainwave in the process and did sufficiently enough work for tomorrow’s draft 1 round with my EL tutor. Hope she buys my draft 1 – not that it means that much, but I now have a rough guide for my 1500 word EL essay. Think there’s about 500 words in that draft. A little more polishing, plus the making of the materials (which is usually quite fun), I should be done. I’ll leave the rest of the work for Thursday, after carnival prep in the morning and afternoon.

Tomorrow is a full day, lessons till 330, meeting the climbers @7pm, Clarke Quay! Haven’t seen them in a looong while, and this meet up has been thrown around for at least a few months, we’ve been postponing it since the middle of Practicum, then there was YS and F1, now we should be all done, somewhat.

Time flies, it has been more than 2 years since Yunnan, and I still miss those cheery sunflower fields. I hope ZB remembers to bring the videos tomorrow, if not the bulk of us would probably kill him.

I’m actually feeling sleepy because my eyes feel achy, somewhat. Dry eyes? Perhaps. Sleepy.

I can’t wait for Friday to come, because that spells the end of Carnival, the end of agony. Then I can take time out to concentrate on finishing up EL essay, together with the Social Context essay which is still half done. Perhaps I can try to finish that up tomorrow in school, during that 3 hour break. However, my gut feeling tells me that I’ll probably end up working on carnival prep during those 3 hours, and then grabbing lunch before heading off to a torturous 2 hour elective.

Dropbox is making me much less reliant on my thumbdrive – works very well especially when I do work on both my computer and laptop. Shucks I’m too lazy to transfer my files everywhere, so instead I rely on Dropbox now. It’s a pretty nifty little thing I must say, a must-get for people who work on more than 2 computers and find themselves transferring files everywhere!

Enough rambling, I shall watch one more episode of GG then I shall turn in. It’s gonna be a crazy morning tomorrow. But I must say, the pairing of Chuck & Blair is getting boring, and I am totally loving it when they bring on Joanna Garcia in the scenes, I happen to think that she is absolutely lovely and adorable!

Ain't she adorable?

Pixar Intro Parody

Found this off EW, terribly funny!

I should be doing…

my work but I end up doing almost everything else but – the work.

I should be working on any of the following:

1. Social Context Week 5 essay – current word count: 408 / 900 [edit @ 11.31pm]
2. EL Individual essay – current word count: 0 / 1500
3. Actg Carnival Emcee speech – nadah zilch nothing.

The only thing accomplished today was the video edit I should have finished by the weekend for tomorrow’s Social Context student led tutorial. Watch us crash and burn tomorrow woohoooo. I should really be doing work but my fingers feel as though they need some engine oil to warm up before I can work up the energy to throw smoke bombs for Item 1. The weather recently has been really crazily warm, it’s the 3rd night I’m switching on the air-conditioning, and it’s also the 3rd night Flappie (my pet Betta) is sleeping in an air-conditioned room.

Seriously, nobody understood what I was saying when I said Flappie the Betta says hi, or was there just a general disinterest and lack of response? I wonder. The boyf has a blue betta that is named Flappie2, for the lack of creativity I know. It is peaceful watching Flappie swim around in his generally small tank (~2L) and shed his feces in that tiny tank. For a small little flamboyant fish, he sure shits a lot.

I am under the understanding that Bettas are pretty hardy fish, so I hope Flappie doesn’t die under my watch (knocks wood furiously). The boyf refused to let me get a $10 Betta (Flappie only cost $5) because he’s worried that something might happen to Flappie. Shucks he doesn’t have confidence in me! Perhaps, when I get used to the regime of rearing pet, I can find suitable buddies to join Flappie. And maybe by then, get a bigger tank to house all of them.

I feel like a pig because I keep sleeping.

How I’d wish I didn’t procrastinate so much. I shall get back to Item 1.

//edit @ 11:31 – the momentum of working of Item 1 was lost after the various phone calls that came in – urgh. I shall go dawdle abit more, stare at Flappie for abit more before I go sleep. Good night world.

DROIDDOES.COM

I saw this on Techcrunch and I am seriously hooked! If this comes to Singapore next year, I’m so gonna get it for sure! This will reward me for holding out on Hero!

That’s if, it comes to Singapore, especially since it’s tied to Verizon.

Maybe I can ship it in! Awesome!

Flappie the Betta

says Hi from his mini-fishtank next to the computer!

Flappie Look-Alike

Let me try and get a good picture of him, before he officially says hi to the virtual world with his mugshot. In the meantime, he is too busy checking out his new environment, and Floppie the meek sweet lamb is trying to befriend this aloof Siamese fighting fish.

Rainy mornings

It simply just wants to make me snuggle right back into bed, into the imaginary arms of said boyfriend and not wake up until it gets too hot and humid to wake up. Which hasn’t been the case lately, but nevermind.

I like the new track playing on my blog – I’m practically in love with MIKA. If I can buy his new album, I’ll go find it. Nearly wanted to buy it the last time when we were at Heeren, but thought it might be more expensive at HMV as compared to the other music outlets. I’ll save it for Gramaphone perhaps.

Heavy rain morning and I’ve got to get back to school at 10ish for games dry run. YAWNS.

I really should get down to doing work.

Firestation was really nice though, and the cooling nice weather made it even nicer too. (:
