This is it.

Final week of my break.
I'm starting to feel slightly anxious.
Like there aren't enough hours for me to sleep.
I'm still not done with all my TV serials!!
Glee, Gossip Girls Season 3, Vampire Diaries, The Tudors, Skins, 'nuff said.
And my results still aren't out.

Totally last minute, but I managed to buy our bus tickets today \o\|o|/o/ *cheer*
Though this road trip is 4 years late (we planned this in Form 5), Lyd and I finally going to Singapore on our own!
Tomorrow. For Zhang Jingna's photography exhibition.
And possibly others.
Ah, enthusiasm :)

It'll be nice to leave our problems behind for a while.

With that being said, I'm currently on a quest to search for Pride and Prejudice, the US version. The one I have right now (Brit version) does not have the final "Mrs Darcy.." scene! Unfortunately, the ones in torrent are all Brit versions.
2 days, and still no luck.

This picture is so awesome, I can't stop looking at it.

I find it really hard to wake up in the mornings now.
Somehow slept through my alarm again, until I got a message from Chris telling me she's already in MV.
Then I leaped out of bed.
After hanging out in the MV underground carpark for over an hour, I finally found a parking. Not kidding.
Its insane.
And I think Chris, Lyd, Sara, Xiao Thoong and I have been banned from a few places for being too noisy.
Put 5 girls really loud girls together; plus everyone keeps talking and nobody listens, so we're all constantly trying to talk louder than the other.

Prince of Persia was good. Seriously. No idea why, but I'm really into it.
And I'm not going to do a game-movie comparison.
Because good fighting scenes do it for me :D
I still really do wish I could fight. Must be nice to be able to kick someone's ass.
But I have to admit that boyband hair looked better on the game character.

I heard The Trax were active again, so I started following them again. They're (most probably the only) Korean rock band (other than Eve?), because we all know Korea likes their men cute. They were formerly produced by Yoshiki(!). I still can't believe Rose left the band and went from hot, blonde rock drummer to being a part of a pop-singing-trio now. Now Attack has left to join the army and Trax went from singing rock songs to singing ballads.
(TRAX apparently stands for Typhoon of the Rose Attack on Xmas = band member's stage names)
Yoshiki definitely knows how to make a good joke.

This song isn't as hard as Paradox or Scorpio, but I really do love Typhoon's voice.
Love the overall whiteness of the video :)

I want an illuminated constellation globe.
I wonder where to find one.

I don't know what to say.
I'm worried, yes.
Terrified, actually.
Especially when I know I can't do anything to make things better.
I'm worried that we might really have to give up this place.

Somebody, please make things better.

Listening to my Dad attempt to play Pac Man on Google = listening to a comedy act.
Because I can hear him a few feet away, shouting to himself; "Oh shit, no!" and "Run for your lifeee~"
Oh, and mostly occasionally some Chinese bad words I can't spell. I kid you not.
I don't think he'll be sleeping early tonight.
Its 145am and he's still at it.

Went to Kinokuniya today.
No, I didn't get my Guitar magazine. I was 40 bucks short.
Lyd got her Bass magazine though.. that woman was totally bragging... that, and the mag comes with a poster of Toshiya.
So I guess mine'll be Kaoru and Die :D
I kinda blame my Dad for me not being able to collect my magazine. He seems to have completely missed the fact that the ATM card is under my name, and therefore belongs to ME. Shouldn't there be a law against him holding my card against me?
After Lyd collected her magazine, we went to the manga section and I got a phone call....from Kino.
The woman behind the Jappy counter was calling me 3 bookshelves away, asking me why haven't I come to collect my magazines (_ _)"
It was quite funny, but, in the end I had to turn back for Nylon magazine.

I'm bored, for the first time since 2 weeks of holiday. I don't feel like watching Vampire Diaries, or Weizz Kreuz or Samurai Deeper Kyo. I don't even feel like reading Junjou, and that's saying a lot.
Think I will go and watch Yoshiki's Symphonic Orchestra with a box of tissues.

Each time I listen to this song, I think about Hide.

Unnamed Song

I'm standing on the edge,
And coming to my senses from my reverie,
Never thought I would,
Never thought I'd need to,
Say goodbye, I bid you farewell
My voiceless words are swaying a flame...

I can't live without..
I can't live without..
I can't live without you..
Here in the dark,
I whisper your name over again,
Give me the strength to seize the light,
If I should find a way..
I saw a dream, you were flying in the sky
Without a fear..
Never touched the ground,
But never came to my side,
I tried so hard to reach out for your hand,
The ruthless wind kept your soul away..

I can't live without,
I can't give without,
I can't breathe without you
Here in the world..
Do you feel the rain?
You said love takes no pain
With or without the sun,
The lurid sky is still tearing me apart..

Will she let freedom reign over the pain..
Give me the strength to believe the words that "love will find a way.."
I can't live without,
I can't give without you
Here in the world
Do you feel the rain over the pain?
Give me the strength to believe the words that "love will find a way.."
With or without the sun
I'll be and I won't say goodbye cause I...
I know I'll be with you.

The lyrics are slightly different from the ones she sang in the video.

Was over at Lyd's place yesterday, doing her work. And then she went "ohmygod.. look what I found", and I leaned over to see her pointing at something on the FB window.

She found our ex-BM teacher on Facebook. No shit.

The same teacher who makes me sing in front of the class every time before he starts his class. Some song about getting 8A's. He still looks the same as how I remembered him to be. I wonder if he remembers me.
I may have to sing him the song to trigger his memory.
Which I won't.

Another funny thing is, my friend has her parents on FB too. And her mom writes on her wall saying stuff like "Have you seen the pictures I uploaded?" and her dad write and says "Please sleep early and rest more. Have you bought your medi-insurance?" Which (I noticed) she didn't reply.

Its funny cause I was imagining if I had my dad on FB and I don't reply his msgs, he'd probably flood my wall with even more messages, like how he does when I don't pick up his calls. LoL.



Danny Elfman rocks. Listening to his Sleepy Hollow soundtrack now.
Was watching Coffee Prince just now, and I noticed Kim Jae Wook wearing a Vivienne Westwood ring. Jealous!
Oh! and Lyd's dad has agreed to Singapore. Yayyyyyy~

Its amazing how the vampire phenomena suddenly spawned into so many series' of fiction books.
The last time I stepped into a bookstore, the entire 'Young Adults' section was filled with books with shiny black covers, each featuring a different girl with heavy eye makeup and black clothes and either wearing a cross or has some exotic-looking tattoo on her arm.
But if you were to pick only one book and read it, I daresay you would know what happens in all the other books already.
If you don't, I'll tell you. Trust me, I know my vampire stories.

Vampire fiction in school settings: Girl goes to new school, the hottest guy there happens to be a vampire who is cool and aloof, fall in love, battle other jealous girls and vampire enemies (werewolves, no points for guessing correctly), girl and guy live happily ever after. Occasionally, there will be other problems, like another vampire who wants the girl, or a relative of the main vampire who does not approve of the abnormal relationship and wants to break them up, but that's how they make it into a series.

Vampire fiction in city settings: Girl is a vampire hunter, given orders to kill the leader of the vampire clan in that city, but (of course) they fall in love, but wait, girl's family were killed by vampires last time, therefore a little love-hate relationship going on, but in the end, we all know they'll be together.

Vampire fiction - romance: Girl is a normal human but has some kinda superpower; hearing thoughts, 6th sense, whatever, and accidentally stumbles upon some vampy secrets, the leader of the vampires is asked to kill her to keep their clan secret, but they meet, fall in love; he saves her from other vampires trying to kill her, in the end, she becomes a vampire and they live happily ever after forever. Cause they don't die, see.

Vampire fiction - romance setting no 2: This time, girl is a vampire too, she meets the enemy of her clan, they fight and fight, and somehow he notices she's hot and she totally falls for his abs, meanwhile humans are attacking both the clans, so they decide to convince everyone to team up and fight the humans, and then everyone is friends again and girl + guy live happily ever after.

Although some books are decent enough, like Anne Rice and Christine Feehan (because they are the older books), but lately the new ones are really repetitive. I guess everyone saw how Twilight shot to fame, and decided they could write their own vampire novels too. And you have to admit, Twilight was just good, not great. I'm into it, but there were flaws and the 4th book was kinda disappointing. All that build-up into a fight that never happened.But I liked her writing style. I'm a sucker for good quotes.

I wonder if Tim Burton, too, is getting into the vampire craze. Because he'll be doing a film next year on the old 60's series, Dark Shadows, with Johnny Depp as the lead. But if he gave us Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney, he can't go wrong, right? If all else fails, I hope believe Danny Elfman will be doing the music scores, and that is already one good thing :)
