I made a HUGE discovery today. That is....

Nobody works for Anybody.

Yup.. My Mr Perfect is working for this dude called Anybody. So step 1, I'll be searching for Mr Anybody. Step 2, Search the premises. Step 3, Get Mr Nobody. Step 4, live happily ever after..

Oh yea... I am still soooooo waiting for you.
Waiting for who?

Someone name "Nobody".

So, Mr Nobody, I hope you'll show up now and sweep me off my feet cos you're the most perfect person in the world, apparently.

So, Mr Nobody, I hope to see you soon =)

I think the most worrying problem that I see right now is the issue of teenage smoking.
It's rising (in the number of smokers) and dropping (the age of smokers) at the same time that it's simply alarming..

I used to not really care about it because no one around me (back in the old house) smokes much. But in the new neighbourhood, I'm terrified of this issue! Why? BECAUSE I MIGHT GET CANCER AND DIE SUDDENLY FROM ALL THE 2ND HAND SMOKE, THAT'S WHY!!!!!

And it doesnt help that I live on the 2nd floor too... (Damn it)

Every time someone smokes, I haf to close the window so that the smell doesnt get it. Or I blast the fan outwards to get rid of the poisonous gas. (Gosh! I spelled poisonous correctly at one go! Without the auto correct. Ha!)

And everyday after school, some idiot kids would hide between the 2nd and 3rd floor staircase and have a smoking party. Literally a P.A.R.T.Y U can see all the food wrappers, plastic bottles and cigarette butts on the floor after that. Luckily I dun live on the 3rd floor. And that the party was over after I came home from piano class.

Speaking of which, yesterday afternoon I had my piano class. (Cos I missed class on Saturday because I overslept. It's 8am lesson, so forgive me for that.) Half way through the lesson, I chocked, gagged and rolled over and almost died. Ok la, that was a little over exaggerated. I gagged and coughed a little. So did my piano teacher and her daughter. Why? Cos of stupid smokers who were hiding in the stairway. Hey! She lived on the 8th floor! These kids got the time to climb up so high and yet they used it to smoke? I dun get them!

Why would anyone smoke and treat it so normal here? It's Singapore for goodness sake. The only freak country that treats smoking as a freaky activity. That's why I love it here better than other places .. .. ..

I don't want to be a second hand smoker. They get cancer at a higher rate and risk than the actual smokers. Sorry for freaking out but you know, I might live at this house for quite some time, and I don't want to get cancer and die so young. And if I do, and if it's due to second hand smoke.. U noe who I'm gonna sue.

Just as I was writing this, a great wonderful post came up. http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2010/07/smoking.html This post speaks to what's happening to me right now.

Arrrrgh...

If I have a time machine, I'd go back in time and assassinate (hell lots of 's' there) the idiot who came up with the idea of smoking and the person who succeeded in commercializing smoking habits. And everyone who tries to make and encourage cigarettes and smoking. Any takers? Anti smoking ninja warriors.. Anyone with me?

Globalisation should solve the problem.

PS: I meant that in the most sarcastic way possible.

I wish the weather is controlled like the planet where Mojako came from. Like for example, rain at specific timings like 12 - 2PM or something. Or better still. Rain on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays for at most 2 hours. The rest of the day can be sunny.

There will be a gigantic remote control which allows equal temperament weather around the world. Then we can decide what to wear the next day. Long coats, check it out yo colorful sweater or just plain slippers would do.

Sigh... Just wishing. Just wishing....

PS: "If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme." Liar liar pants on fire. I'm not going to believe you stupid lyrics from "When you wish upon a star" Singapore super light-polluted. NO STARS AT ALL!!! Boo hoo hooooooo T o T

I know I've been waiting for this movie for like ages.. All the hype that I've been building it up. Well, the starting didn't disappoint me of course. The humor, comedy and storyline is familiar and develops further.

But..... (Yeah, you see this coming right? ^ ^)

I didn't really like the tone of the movie. It was just a bit too dark and depressing for me. The arguments, struggle etc .. .. Maybe it's because I'm feeling some of the issues that the characters faced in the movie. They found a solution. Things worked out in the end for them.. But I kept thinking... What about me?

The ending was nice. Mozart piano duet. The piece that started it all.

But now.. I wish I hadn't seen the movie after all.

And that there would be more Specials coming up. Something more cheerful and happy.

You know how some people always like to break the news to you by saying something like "Well, you're gonna know it anyway, sooner or later."

Most people would reply, "Well then, I choose later."

But NOT me.

I choose the other option: Sooner.

Reason? Simply because I'm a Virgo.

As a typical Virgo, I prefer to be hit with the unexpected news sooner. If it's good news, well, all the more time I have to rejoice right?

But what if it's bad news?

The rationale would be that I'd be more prepared to deal with the messy situation. It buys me more time, psychologically, mentally (whatever-lly there is in the world) for me to deal with it. You know, like getting the grasp of the situation, look around, come up with options, think through the options that I've come up with, discuss with friends (a very very important step to me) and finally, make the decision.

It doesn't stop there. No sir, it doesn't.

After making the decision, there comes the worrying stage where you worry if it'll come around as "ok", if it makes sense. If it's 10000% dummy proof. Then what about Plan B, C or Z? There's also the emotional turmoil one has to experience (ok, maybe that's just me) during the wait for the ending result. Even though I know that everything will be alright in the end... The worrying never EVER stops!

These processes may come to be salient for most people. But for me, it's a linear process. It has stages that I follow. A step-by-step like procedure and experiences that I have to go through. So that is why I need lots and lots of time to accept the sudden situation, think through it, adapt to it then finally solve it.

But most importantly. I hate the fact that after I've made the perfect decision, execute it and thought that most of the messy stuffs is cleared....

A bomb drops from the sky.

Poof!

And the worst thing is... It could have been avoided by sending the bloody email 24 hours earlier!!!

WHY DO YOU SEND SUCH AN IMPORTANT EMAIL AFTER THE EVENT? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?

And that is why....

I can't wait to get out of the school, start working, start earning money, and last but not least, earn my through the system so that I can start screwing other people's life.

Peace out ♥

PS: The post title is called Retail Therapy cos that's exactly what I want to do right now. Cos I just realised I missed out most of the GSS period. Hehe

Overheard a parent-child conversation in which the kid was pleading the mother to buy something. The kid was kinda desperate I guess cos she kept saying "Please, please, please" And finally the fateful line, "Pretty pleeeeeeease"

And instantly...

"The appearance of please does not make any difference."

- Gru, Despicable Me.

That popped up to my mind and brought a smile to this kinda depressing morning. (Cos it's the end of World Cup 2010)

I've always suspected myself as being a bit.. psychic. That means having super powers, not mental, like psycho.

Well, lately I've been going through this notion of "是你的，就是你的。莫强求。" and the idea of not looking through other people's window.

And yesterday, during sermon, Reverend's words just kinda struck me again.

It's easy to know not to envy what other people have. But it's just too difficult for me to do that. You know, like the Bloom's taxonomy thing. 1st level of understanding. You may know what is the definition of the concept, but understanding it by doing it, analysing, evaluation are the higher order thinking skills that requires much more action and heart put into it.

But still, it's a wake up call I guess.. After teasing around the idea of not envying, someone of the higher authority has spoken. Put the knowledge into use and action.

By the way.. I'm a bit crazy. I've been onto the World Cup for like the entire month. Following the matches and going crazy (and almost voiceless) with every save, foul, goals and celebration. Then, I just missed the most important match of all. LoL.. Yup.. I chose to sleep on the night Spain and Netherlands fought for their first ever World Cup trophy. Oh wells.

But I like watching these events. Cos with every match, there's bound to be this someone specially talented and good looking that pops out from nowhere!

The last time it was Rooney, C. Ronaldo, Kaka, Torres (he's still very hot! Even with a wife and daughter), Messi, etc, etc. Now, there's the amazing German team Thomas Muller, Phillips Lahm, Ozil (all married. Blaaaah), Fabio Coentrao (married with kid > . < )who's too under rated in my opinion. He's definitely better den team captain C.Ronaldo. There's also Javier Hernandez (aka, Chicharito) the fastest player in the entire game, and my ultimate ♥ Yoann Gourcuff. Well, partly cos he's French. Hehehe.. Too bad France went out too early. And he got a red card for nothing. (I still think the referee was too harsh and stupid. Eyes kena stamped by elephant!)

The best thing out of the World Cup is that I made new twitter friends whom I can squeal with. Ok, we squeal at the hot guys la. But we also curse at Paul the octoidiot (Have u heard that he's going to get a disciple/student and pass his knowledge of prediction? How ridiculous is that?) and the stupid referees and those people who get away with fouls. Erlack.

Anyways.. Enough rambling. After football.. I'm going into the paranormal world. Nope, not vampire EVER! I absolutely hate/loathe it. I'm going into the world of magic and faeries. Not fairy. It's Faeri. Still trying to figure out the difference between the two. Well, I'll update when I finish the two series of books.

I need more reading. My brain's almost dead with too much video and books.

Peace out ♥



Yoann Gourcuff

He's one HOT French. See you in Euro2012 in Poland/Ukraine. Let's hope the new coach for the French team is a better and treats you better too ^ . ^

PS: It's just that I used to think that I am way better then. At least, I can control my desires and urges. I know the difference between want and need. But that wall has disintegrated. Weeks of reflection and the answer is surprisingly simpler than I thought. It's cos of my faith. I used to have more faith in Gohonzon and I was a much avid believer. Now, I rely myself too much. Sometimes more than religion. By doing so, all my past practices were instantly disregarded. What I've learnt are just memories because I no longer put them into use into my daily life as I've done so, with much more discipline. That's the root of the issue. I can go on and on. But I'll just bore myself to death. All I want to say is this. It just comes down to the most basic thing. In both religion and life.

Faith.

I swear!

I'm reading.. Seriously.

It's so fluffy I'm gonna die. IT'S SO FLUFFY!

Number of books read in May = 5

Number of books read in June = 0

Aaaaaah!

I'm turning illiterate!

Bloody hell...........

This kid is super adorable. I think I'll just faint with happiness if my future kid is as initiative as this one.



PS: Who cares what product this ad is selling. It just doesn't matter anymore =)

How many football stars are left in the current 2010 World Cup? How many do you recognise still?



PS: After weeks of exclamation, me twitter friends and moi came to a heartbroken conclusion. These football stars marry super young. Especially the German team. Thomas Muller is barely 21 yet, he's already married. See? There should be a law forbidding these hotties to marry so young. Not before they turn 25 ^____^''

Last but not least... I'd love to see THIS referee in the World Cup matches. He'll be way more entertaining and professional than the players themselves. Hahaha.. Imagine... All the players distracted, fans cheering for him instead. Haha, wonder if he's still refereeing matches still?





Last but not least... I watched this til my tummy, jaw and cheek bones hurt. Hahaha.. Watch this if you're not afraid of getting stitches from laughing =)

Hahaha.. Should the day comes when Mr Eboue here, retires from football.. My suggestion is..

Why not consider being

1. World Class comedian. (I thought the idea and timing in the video was great!)


2. Become an international translator in Korea. I think you'll be a hit there. (LoL)


3. Become a spy in Korea for Ivory Coast. (Spy on their football tactics of course.) It'd work in the World Cup games. You listen to what they have to say, report back to camp and foil their strategies. Hahaha..

Super amazing la!
