Long time never update ler. Hehe..just been bored. I really should do my presentation / prepare for MMH presentation..but it's hot and I'm sleepy. Oh well.

Stole this random tag off someone else's blog..funny. :P

IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE ?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie.

Opening Credits:

No Place That Far - Westlife

Oookay..it's a good thing, right? Means..um..I can get anywhere if I want to, no place is that far! Ha.
(so technically it's a love song, shush :P)

'If I had to run,
If I had to fall,
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way
To get to where you are,
There's no place that far.'

Waking Up:

See Right Through You - N'Sync

Uh...yeah, I've woken up now, see? I can totally see through all your lies and deceit. Yeah.

'Treat me like a fool,
But I see right through you.'

First Day At School:

我难过 - 5566

How sad man. First day of school and I'm supposed to be sad. Technically it's true also I guess since I don't generally have any friends on my first day of school. (Will not bother posting Chinese lyrics because Chinese typing program thing is not working)

Falling In Love:

Selfish - N'Sync

Hahaha. I totally have to agree, I'm really selfish when it comes to falling in love. I want him to myself! No sharing allowed!

'You can call me selfish,
But all I want is your love..'

Fight Song:

True - Ryan Cabrera

=.= What the hell wei..how am I supposed to use this as a fight song?! Umm..um..okay I know. I WON'T REST TILL THE TRUTH COMES OUT! That works, yup.

'I'm weak, it's true,
Because I'm afraid to know the answer..'

=.= What the.

'I've waited all my life,
To cross this line,
To the only thing that's true,
So I will not hide,
It's time to try,
Anything to be with you,
All my life I've waited..
This is true.'

Ummmm. Totally lousy fight song. But I guess at least it means I'm willing to fight for love :P

Breaking Up:

Belaian Jiwa - Innuendo

Ooooo. This song is really nice, but kinda not -that- suitable for breaking up..I guess the tone of the song does sort of fit it though, it's like kind of sad and saying that 'I love you so much, I'll wait for you.' Although I guess you could also say that I can't let go..which, on the other hand, tends to be quite true.

'Kau tahu betapa ku sayang padamu,
Hanya bidadari sebagai ganti,
Hanya takdir menentukan ia,
Oh, belaian jiwa.'

Prom:
Let Me Go - 3 Doors Down

What the..why do I keep getting all these nonsense songs?! Well..technically you only have proms at the end of something..like graduation and stuff. So maybe prom is a way to let us go. Yup, let's go with that.

'You love me, but you don't know who I am,
I'm torn between this love and where I stand,
You love me, but you don't know who I am,
So let me go.'

...I'm not even going to bother to explain that kay.

Life:
Because You Live - Jesse McCartney

Finally! Something that makes sense! Yup, the whole point of my living is because of you :P (Not quite true, but still!)

'Because you live, and breathe,
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help,
Because you live, girl, my world,
Has twice as many stars in the sky..'

Mental Breakdown:
Tell Her - Jesse McCartney

Okay, back to the songs not making sense again. Um..if I ever go crazy, first thing to do would be to tell my best friends. Kay? Remember to tell her if I go mad. Probably cos I haven't seen them/talked to them for so long.

'If you see my girl, just tell her I miss her smile,
Tell her I'm counting the minutes,
Gonna see her in a little while,
Oh coz-
I know when she -
Won't talk to me -
She's the one thing that I could never live without,
Oh, oh, ohhhh~
And tell her I love her..
Just tell her I love her.'

Umm. Just to clarify - I am not a lesbian kay. Although I do love my best friends! (Who still love me even though I'm crazy)

Driving Far Away:
Girlfriend (Remix featuring Nelly) - N'Sync / Nelly

...umm, I can do this. Right - if I ever go off on a drive far away, it'll be with my girlfriends. Yep.

'Why don't you be my girlfriend,
I'll treat you good,
I know you hear all your friends when they say you should,
Cos if you were my girlfriend,
I'd be your shining star,
The one who shows you where you are,
Girl you should be my girlfriend.'

Err..I treat both my best friends well, does that count? :P

Flashback:

Pop - N'Sync

Okay, okay, so I have a lot of N'Sync songs, sue me. Umm..yeah, when I think about things from times past, I get very annoyed with myself for thinking too much and not just waiting to see what happens before jumping right into things. Sometimes I need to relax a bit. (Yes, that was a lousy explanation but what to do?!)

'It doesn't matter
About the car I drive
Or the ice around my neck
All that matters
Is that you recognize
That it's just about respect
It doesn't matter
About the clothes I wear
And where I go and why
All that matters
Is that you get hyped
And we'll dig it to you every time'

Open to interpretation, my daily creativity quota is spent.

Wedding:
Apologize - One Republic

OF ALL SONGS TO PLAY AT A WEDDING. APOLOGIZE?!?!

I guess this means I should do all the apologies before my wedding so that we both enter into the union with a fresh start. Water under the bridge, and all. (Something like that, anyway.)

'Now it's too late to apologize,
It's too late...
I said it's too late to apologize,
It's too late...'

Umm. Okay, I'm not married yet so..I'm sorry!!

Birth of Child:

Right Back In The Water - Jesse McCartney

What the..not like I had a child before!!! I'm seriously going to throw out my playlist. Seriously. Um..maybe it's like a flashback, you know, come full circle - so many years ago I was in the hospital as a baby, just starting my life - and now I'm here giving birth to a new life. Yeah. I'm so out of ideas.

'And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself she's the one for me,
Cos her love is so contagious it keeps pulling me in,
We were meant to be,
And I can't leave her, so -
We're right back in the water..'

I hope this doesn't mean that my husband is going to try and leave me but can't cos I'm giving birth. I WILL KILL. And I don't want him anyway, if that's the case.

Final Battle:
Same Girl - R.Kelly ft. Usher

Um..I wouldn't fight because of a girl. Maybe for my best friends, but seriously.

'We're messing with the same girl,
Same girl,
How could the love of my life,
And my potential wife,
Be the same girl..'

Errrr. You know what, never mind.

Death Scene:

安静- 周杰伦

Haha. Quite appropriate actually, since if you're dead you're obviously going to be very quiet. (And on another note, I figured out how to fix the typing thing, so - lyrics!)

‘我真的没有天份，
安静得没这么快，
我会学着放弃你，
是因为我太爱你。。’

Awwww. *wipes a tear away* So sweet!

Funeral Song:

记得爱- (dunno who the singers are)

Yeah..remember we loved you. (Awwww!)

‘记得爱，
所有幸福的片段。。’

Of course I will :)

End Credit:

只对你说- 林俊杰

Yeah that's right - this tag was made just for you people! Haha..(all that aside, this is the sappiest love song ever, but still)

No lyrics this time :P Cos finish d!

I tag:
Anyone who wants to do this. Plus Tao. (No option for you, muahaha.)




Friday, May 16, 2008


Okay. Okay. I admit. I've been lazy.

One whole week of holidays, assignments due, and I haven't accomplished a single thing. Instead, I've been online all day, reading random blogs, losing my phone somewhere, and emoing over things that happen in game.

But then I take a step back and think about college life..and how much happier I am when a game is just..a -game-. I've spent so much time and energy in Achaea that it almost seems to be part of my life - something a bit difficult to comprehend for many of you since I know most of you don't invest your time in games. But since I'm even dating someone who is part of that game, it technically -is- part of my life in that aspect. A lot of you think that me meeting him in that game is like some kind of fairy tale -which it is- but at the same time you also have to know that it's a lot of work to maintain a relationship with someone who's so different from you, and so far away as well. Things aren't all roses, you know, but sometimes you just have to step back and think about whether that person is worth it.

In this case, it is. :)

And people have requested pictures, so I shall satisfy you and give you -one- (I don't think he'll mind too much, since almost half of you have seen it already :P)


And people. D-O-D-D is pronounced 'dod'. -Not- 'dood'. (I mean, come on..how sad would it be to have a surname that sounds like 'dood' :P) (Patrick, if you call me that one more time I will use you as a bowling ball and I will hit a strike. Muahaha.)
Sometimes college really is good in a way that it forces you to be serious, but have fun being with your friends at the same time..doing something you love and are able to give your heart to instead of suffering in the classroom. I mean, goodness knows I've already spent what, 10 years suffering in primary and secondary school?

Everyone sees college as some sort of escape. While you're slaving away in the hot classes during secondary school, you think to yourself, "There's college to look forward to, then I can do what I want..just graduate, just graduate, just graduate." How many of you have thought that? To just survive high school, then to go on to that new utopia of education - college. A mark of adulthood.

Well, truthfully college is a whole new ball game. You have presentations, slides, references..everything you just winged in high school becomes the focus in college. Plus there's class participation marks, which means you actually have to speak up and not lurk at the back rows in class like I used to in college. College means nobody gets left out, and I'm actually kind of grateful for that. It gives introverts like me a chance to speak up and know that someone will actually listen.
However it also has its bad points - you have to work with people who might not meet your expectations, people who might let you down, and you might end up having to shoulder most of the burden because your group members can't or won't do things. That's just life, though - mom says it happens even at work, and I guess it's just something I'll have to get used to. Think of it as a valuable life lesson - at least I know how to deal with these people now, rather than later where they might actually be in a position to fire me or something!
I'm actually only in Foundation level now, with degree coming later (and yeah, I know it's going to be a lot harder - a LOT, LOT harder, from the way the lecturers keep hinting) but I welcome the challenge. Then I'll be able to see where in the media world I actually belong - I mean, so far I love everything we're doing, but this is just a tiny, tiny part - we haven't even scratched the surface yet. I want to find out how an introvert like me can belong in an extroverted world such as mass media - I know there's a niche for me somewhere. I can read and I can write - that's 70% of the requirements fulfilled :P Nah, just kidding. It's a lot more complicated than that. I might consider counselling to find out what areas I can aim for - right now I'm just thinking about completing my degree, but no idea where I actually want to work after that. Some guidance would be nice.
But for now - I adore college life!
