she's insane, which simply drives everyone around her crazy.
feminist and proud of it.
enjoys writing, reading, kendo, chilling, music and has she mentioned writing?

watched death note with sarah and siew todays. supposed to catch the 11.35am one at cine, but sarah was late, as usual. heh. so me and siew went to get the 12.10 tickets, only to find out that the 12.10 timing was the midnight show. -_-" gah. the yahoo website was messing up the timings then.
anyways, cos siew had to meet her family after the movie, we decided to check out lido's timings cos the next timing at cine was 2.05pm. had lunch at lido and then caught the 1.35pm movie.
death note was alright. an interesting twist to the age-old superhero blah movies. the beginning started off innocently enough: good guy suddenly has the power to rid the world of evil, and sets himself out to do so. in the process, he aims to create a utopian world free of crime. however, power corrupts, and soon, good guy turns to bad guy and kills whoever he wants to kill - namly, those that go against him. so utopian world becomes dystopian and good guy becomes no better than the serial killers that pervade the crime-world. in fact, he becomes worse because he can kill at will withouht ever lifting a finger. and so, the movie become exciting and keeps you in suspense as it becomes a battle of wits (and brains) between "good guy" and the detective.
siew fell in love with detective 'L'. she kept giggling non-stop and going ga-ga over him. talk about fangirl. remind me not to watch a movie with her again whenever i entertain the crazy notion of asking her to the movies. just like during tokyo drift, siew kept beating me when the film ended with a cliffhanger. ouch. ouch. i am sad. ha.
shoutout to mich: better remember to get 'L's poster for siew asap! before she starts ripping out all the ones in singapore.

4 days to LKC tourney! aieeeee!!!!
herein lies my dilemma: to go for bash, or not? to go, or not to go? no one go with me leh... boo hoo. hah~ i guess the answer lies before me. heh.
the haze is quite bad these days, and so, kendo trainings have been affected somewhat. they're more relaxed in the sense that it isn't so tough and endurance-based due to the horrid weather. everyone's been feeling somewhat under the weather lately. ahhh... stupid haze.
yesterday though, kendo training was tough. and tiring. but still, great nonetheless!
we did kirikaeshi sets for warm-up. zhen yuan was supposed to take us for training, but sensei came when he was leading us for kirikaeshi, and so, sensei took over with zhen yuan assisting. ha. and he wanted to sabo me to be his demonstrator during training. heh~
anyway, according to zhen yuan, sensei's training regime last night was much tougher than the one he had in mind. hmmm... it's been some time since we last had such a tough training, so yah, everyone was rather out of sorts less than halfway through training. but the great thing is we all hung-on till the end. i always find it a constant uphill battle to push myself through trainings, especially when they are tough ones. and i still do not know the cause of my blackouts, which according to the doctor is just a drop in sugar level which should be fine if i ate something an hour before trainings, but it doesnt help. still the same. so i have taken to squatting for a while everytime i black-out. it isn't good i know, but the other alternative is to fall-out, and if that happens, i'll be falling-out every single training! no! so ya.... and doing that, i managed to push myself through the entire training session yesterday and came out feeling damn good. from the adrenaline rush of exercise, improvements made etc. and it's great when people just keep encouraging one another throughout. really really.
anyway, on to sensei's comments to me after training. i AM NOT KIAI-ING AGGRESSIVELY ENOUGH! arrrrrrrrgh! sensei told me that i improved a lot since the last time he saw me doing the shiai practice (which, he said, was horrible :*() and i actually scored 4 kote points, but because my kiai wasn't good enough, the cuts did not warrant the points. more kiai practise for me. sensei mentioned about a talent i have though, and i was remarking to siew that i don't see how he saw that i have this talent. apparently, i can sort of like conceal my attacks, and do it in a way where i will move-in for a cut as though i'm going for say, a men cut, but when i was actually doing a kote cut. so it was like, unpredictable? hmmm.... but i thought that my movements were rather erm readable? cos why is it that many people can move at the same time, or worse, faster than when i execute the cuts? especially during kihon practices where we have to do all those wazas, i always end-up hitting air even though im supposed to be the one moving faster... -_-" but, sensei says i should make better use of this talent of mine, and so i shall be analysing myself more closely during training sessions. yay! at least i know i am improving somewhat! and i do see what he says when he commented that i was trying new techniques, although i could further improve on my men cuts. my men cuts are horrible and slow..... so i usually rely on other stuff we learn to attempt to score points. on a rare occassion will i get a men point. more men cut practices for me too!
one thing i do notice though, is that i don't use enough waza techniques. gah. gah. gah. note to self.

watched citizen kane today. it was a great film. it was a sad film. the ending was just so sad.... i really felt sorry for charles kane. how at the end, he is still lonely with no one to love him. when all he wanted was someone to love and one who loves him back. his methods, though wrong, were heartfelt. he was sincere, he tried to the best of his abilities. could one fault him for trying to find someone he's been lacking since childhood? tingren would disagree with me on this, but i still find him a rather pitiful character. the poor fella.
but then again, orsen welles (sp) is a great director. that's why this film is the number 1 film of all-time.
@@@
i shall stop my verbal diarrhoea here. more essays to tackle! take care folks and Happy Deepavali!
you started this off, be responsible. stop pushing the blame on others or shifting your attention on others. mind your own business. north korea isn't the real problem here, it is what your country is doing to the people in iraq. how many have been killed because of you? all because you were too proud to admit your error in judgement.
tell me, mr. bush, are you proud? can you seriously go to sleep at night knowing so many people died because of you? how about the fact that your war against terror campaign is causing more factions amongst people? how many innocent killed? must you see the world go up in flames before you are happy?
we are not toys to be played with. our lives are each equally important, each valuable, each vulnerable. just because your the fucking president doesn't give you the right to treat the rest of the people lightly.
an apology wouldn't do. it wouldn't stop all these killings. i suggest you actually get off your lazy ass and do something to help the poor souls in iraq, for a start. stop ignoring the real problem.

i may be changing my tag board provider. it's been dead for a long time. argh.
a quiz which siew did, refused to publish the results, and as a result, i was drawn in to do it too. and so, presenting my results: what does my candy heart say?
Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"
You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love. You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.
Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)
Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic
What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays
Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get
yep. i sure am destined for a life on the shelf. haha~ remember to drop by and say hi to this old, wrinkly, dusty, cobwebbed ym whenever you walk past yah?
should have done this sooner, but oh wells. anyways, HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL folks! haha~ time to pig out on mooncakes! yum yum! haa~ grow fat grow fat, don't make me the only one fat! haha~
@@@ been busy with studies. now's the period of tests, essays and assignments. deadlines deadlines deadlines. argh. and my tutees are all having their psle now. and my ex-students are having their n levels too. spoke to 2 of them yesterday. hmmm... chemistry paper was apparently really hard. hmmm... well, hope that all of them will do well and be promoted to sec 5! hope that they can do o levels! i feel so bad about not going down to wish them luck before their n levels. sigh.
3 months till i leave singapore for uk. how time flies!
@@@ i bought evanescence's new album, the open door, and it rocks! yeah! haha~ and here's a treat for you guys!
call me when you're sober - evanescence
Don't cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me you want me come find me make up your mind
Should I let you fall lose it all so maybe you can remember yourself can't keep believing, we're only deceiving ourselves and I'm sick of the lie and you're too late
Don't cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me you want me come find me make up your mind
Couldn't take the blame sick with shame Must be exhausting to lose your own game selfishly hated, no wonder you're jaded- you can't play the victim this time and you're too late
Don't cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me you want me come find me make up your mind
You never call me when you're sober you only want it cause it's over
How could I have burned paradise! how could I- you were never mine!
So don't cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me don't lie to me just get your things I've made up your mind
my personal favorite song is Lithium though. Hauntingly beautiful.
