Rise and Shine

ugh honestly, name me one person on this earth who loves, and i mean really loves without grumbling or complaining, waking up early in the morning? more so when the weather is cold and chilly and absolutely perfect for staying in bed till it's way pass noon. tell me! haha

every single time i get woken up before the sun is up, especially for 8am classes, i'll sit upright on my bed and point out the window towards the sky and go

"ugh why am i up so early?!! the sun isn't even up yet!!!" 

but i still get off the bed and wash up anyway. it's not that i can't wake up early, i mean i totally can wake up early..i just need to set an alarm. i'll grumble a lot in the first 5 minutes after being woken up but after that i'll still go on like it's perfectly normal to get up before the sun does.

i wouldn't say that i'm not a morning person, but i also wouldn't say that i am. i mean, i do get hyper at times early in the morning, mostly because maybe i'm going to have an awesome time to compensate for the loss of sleep like maybe going out with my friends and all.

and...

breakfast is good for the body my ass..every time i wake up early to go to breakfast i always end up feeling like shit when it's nearing mid morning or noon. i'll be so lethargic and cranky and grumpy etc etc....it's not a very pretty sight. then the whole pre-planned afternoon schedule goes out the door because i'll be in too big of a bad mood to do them so i'll most of the time end up sleeping till like..4pm? haha

hmm?

so i was like looking through Jenna's sister's wedding pictures on Facebook and it got me thinking

"not hot wan meh??!!!!"

and the next thought was

"there is nothing you can say or do to get me to do that outdoors with no aircond" 

i mean like seriously, after years of looking at people's outdoor wedding photos, haven't you guys wondered how the weather was at that time?

don't get me wrong, those pictures were really sweet, really they were. but this is more of my personal opinion on stuff like this. like..indoor shoot is totally ok, provided the air cond is on at full blast to keep me from sweating haha!! if you guys know me well enough you would know that i sweat like super a lot and super easily.

i've asked around, like my cousin brother and one of my mom's ex-students, how was it like during the shoot and they both said it was not fun at all. hahaha!!!

but yea..who knows what the future holds aye? hehehe

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time in a not-so-little high school in a not-so-little town, there was this girl. She was a rowdy, spunky and a quirky 15-year old, one of the noisiest in her class if she could add. She wasn’t at all perfect, physically, and academically. She would cheer if she had gotten a C in her most hated subject and received many looks of disapproval from her teachers. It was understandable, for which student would cheer as happily as she did upon getting a C in a test?

At the beginning of that particular year when the class’s schedule was handed out, groans echoed throughout the room when the student saw what would their Thursday be like for the year. It was filled with subjects they had labeled as unnecessary and useless. Many had already made up their mind to skip most of the Thursdays from then on; except for her.

She had wanted to skip, of course, like everybody else. There was no use in going to school on Thursdays with a schedule like that. However she couldn’t. If she had she would be in trouble with the disciplinary board. She had duties to fulfill, duties in which she wanted but couldn’t run away from.

And so it began, all of her friends disappeared as soon as Thursday came. She was left alone in class while her friends were all at home, either catching up on sleep or having their noses stuck in their books. Every Thursday before class started she sat pathetically in her seat, hoping with all her heart that one of her friends would show up at the front door. But many a times they did not and she was left alone once again.

She tried everything; she even begged them to come to school on Thursday so that she would have a few good companies. But most told her to get somebody else to replace her for her duties and skipped school like the rest of them. Could you imagine what was it like for her? Of course the class wasn’t completely empty on Thursdays but without her best friends with her, it was as good as empty.

It was that time when she resented her so-called best friends a lot. It was then when she decided to mix with the others in her class, those who were always there with her on that miserable day of the week because their parents wouldn’t allow them to skip classes. They were good company and so she had gotten closer to them, but they weren’t her best friends. They could never fill that void in her day.

As the months passed she had gotten used to it. Thursdays were no longer a dread and she had accepted the fact that she was and would continue to be alone for the weeks to come. She had stopped blaming her friends for abandoning her. She had mellowed and she had accepted her fate for that year.

The only thing that pissed her was after the finals had passed for the year. She had planned to skip school because nothing had mattered anymore. And so she had told her friends her plan and was shocked at the replies

“Come to school please, I’m moving next year. You can’t do this to me”

She inwardly scoffed and screamed in frustration in her mind. How could he? So it didn’t matter when they skipped when classes were still important but now that they weren’t anymore it was suddenly such a big issue that she was going to skip? She wanted to scream at them, she wanted nothing more than to throw a huge tantrum and storm out of class.

But she couldn’t. She knew she couldn’t. It was not in her character to do such an act and she definitely wasn’t a person who spoke her mind at all. It was the way she was brought up – never to talk back. Talking back would result in lectures and scolding which she thought she really could do without, so she had always held back her tongue in front of people.

She felt grateful for having such friends, however. They had shaped her into the person she is today; a rather reserved and quiet person who never really spoke her mind and a person who always kept her thoughts to herself. She had also learnt not to trust people and to always have a wall ready to keep others at bay. Never again did she share her likes and dislikes enthusiastically in front of people for fear of being judged.

If she was judged then, why wouldn’t she be judged now? 

If she was so easily left alone then, why would now be any different?

Books, Books and more Books

Tada~ so this is my small collection. It’s still expanding, seeing how I already have the first three books of the Lorean series; it is sort of an obligation to get the rest of the books.

I got three new books within a month and I have yet to finish The Joy Luck Club, one which I bought like, over half a year ago in Singapore. The three new additions are:

i.                     The Rise of Nine – Pittacus Lore

ii.                   The Five People You Meet in Heaven – Mitch Albom

iii.                  Secret Daughter – Shilpi Somaya Gowda

I’m definitely going to keep buying more books. I know there’s ebooks and audio books nowadays but nothing beats holding a classic paperback and just chilling on the sofa and read it. Fun aye? Or does it sound absolutely boring and nerdy? Hehe

I’ve always have this dream of having this mini library in my house in the future. A fully air conditioned room with book shelves lining the walls and stretching up all the way to the ceiling. Then in the middle of the room will lie the comfiest sofa I can find, with a coffee table for me to put my legs up (hehe my posture isn’t the most..lady like when I read, my legs will be up way over there or they’ll be sprawled all over the place). There won’t be a desk in the room. Well..because..who the heck does leisure reading at the desk like you’re studying for some law paper or something right? Haha!! But there will be an allocated corner for me to display all my Soshi stuff hehe

I know this is gonna be a pretty expensive thing to want but hey, a girl can dream right?

Movie Review/Summary/IMHO 4: Bollywood Hollywood

I’ve recently (an hour ago recently) watched a movie titled Bollywood Hollywood. This 2002 filmed starred Canadian actress, model and philanthropist, Lisa Ray and Indian actor Rahul Khanna. The movie is in English, with a little Hindi thrown in here and there but let’s not let the language be a barrier from us enjoying a good movie aye?

This movie is about this guy who meets this girl at a club and assumed that she is a Spanish escort and thus hires her to play his fiancée until his sister’s wedding is over. Bla bla bla cut to the chase, they fall in love. 

Typical really, nothing much to comment about that.

But what I really liked about this movie was that it was very light, perfect if you want something to distress and unwind for the day and it’s the grandmother in it is hilarious! It’s hard to find an Indian grandmother character who’s as cool as her, most I think just wants to control everybody and is usually the villain in the movie aye. Hehe

But no, this is a romantic comedy set in Toronto, Canada. The movie has two Bollywood style dance numbers where the usual, featuring a big group of people coming out at random and starts dancing and singing. They’re really fun to watch, for me at least. Maybe because Lisa is there and she’s pretty so it doesn’t hurt to just watch for a few minutes XDDDDDD

If you get the chance, watch it. I think this is highly recommended. It’s funny, it’s light and I’ll just spoil it for you guys a bit – it has a very happy ending =]

this is the trailer 

Queen in action XD

and this is why she's the Queen of Genovia XDD

i saw this on tumblr, just the gifs of it so i went looking for the video and wow, the way she made that speech was so...er..awesome? haha i really can't think of any other words besides awesome for this, pardon my limited vocabulary.

"I'm not being brave, I'm being a decent human being" 

and..did you guys know she got married like..two months ago? haha i didn't know!! and she had her hair cut short, like a pixie cut or something! first time seeing a bride in short hair that's for sure

Dreaming

"I want to be with some one, who ten years from now, makes my heart jump when I hear the key at the door"

i heard that from a movie whose title has eluded my memory. the quote came to me in the evening while i was looking out the window, seeing the rain fall like a waterfall onto the earthly surface. i got reminded of that Umbrella story i wrote a while ago haha.

ahem...so as i was saying, yea i would very much like to meet somebody like that in the future. 

i mean, wouldn't it be nice? (allow me to day dream for a moment here haha)

you waiting at home for your other half to come home and just dart to the door when you hear the keys jingling on the other side, a sign that he's back, and glomp him when he opens the door (haha! confirm watching too much anime d) wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him in for a quick kiss before hurrying him off to wash up for dinner.

wouldn't that be nice? XDD 

the day tzy starts thinking about stuff like this..confirm world is going to end soon haha!!!

either that or this is just another meaningless post for me to kill 30minutes of my very limited study time because i just don't want to go face the book T.T
