meme Thursday, July 06, 2006

I was tagged again. Aiks. Big no thanks to Zhen Han, lol.

10 years ago I was:
A little brat in Standard 2.
Getting up on stage and narrating a play.
Crazy over Power Rangers like everyone else. :D

5 years ago I was:
In the noisiest but fun-nest class in Form 2, 2 Ros.
First in class. Fuyooh. Cheh wah.
In the first year of PBSM marching under the hot, hot sun. At least we won, so it all paid off.

1 year ago I was:
Slogging it off for MUFY - trying to maintain English marks, while trying not to screw Maths B tests up.
Having loads of fun with the council, and at the same time being stressed out over the Sunway Ball.

Yesterday I was:
Downloading old catchy pop songs which we listened to back in primary school. Talk about memories.
Surprised by Mr. Pang Wei Soon (who has such lousy taste in football teams, by the way. *roll eyes*) back from Russia with an awful hairstyle, and Mr. Paul Goh, who has a much better hairstyle than the former. :D
Oversleeping and totally missed Portugal's ass being whooped. Stupid alarm didn't ring, dammit.

5 most recent songs I listened to:
Rascal Flatts & Kelly Clarkson - What Hurts The Most.
Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous.
McFly - Too Close For Comfort.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars.
Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me.

5 songs I know all the words to:
Negaraku, obviously. :D
Bethany Joy Lenz - Halo.
Gavin DeGraw - I Don't Wanna Be.
Keith Urban - Making Memories of Us.
Most Westlife songs, and I'm very sure I'm not the only one!

Ideal places for running away to:
A secluded beach somewhere. Even though I don't know how to swim.
On a hill somewhere to watch a sunrise.
I have no idea if Europe's ideal, but I really want to go there someday.
Old Trafford. :D
Just my room is enough sometimes.

5 things I really want:
To graduate successfully.
Get a good job that I actually enjoy doing.
England to win the World Cup. Big sigh.
For family and friends to be healthy and safe. At all times.
To see more of the world.

5 things I should be doin' right now:
Clearing my room.
Clearing my room.
Clearing my room.
Clearing my room.
Oh, and did I mention clearing my room?

5 biggest joys in my life:
A wonderful and supportive family.
The bestest friends anyone could ever ask for, seriously. You all know who you are.
SPM. It sounds very stupid, but I was really happy with results.
Being recognised for work I do.
Being lucky enough to have a lot of things that many people, in other parts of the world, aren't as lucky to have.

5 people I tag:
Sheng.
Eunice.
Nick.
K Vin.
Wei Soon - just as a half ditch attempt to get you to BLOG!

On a very happy side note- Portugal bites dust! Hah! Take that, you people who were dropping like flies during the match. Divers do not make footballers. Remember that.

Break To/From Study(ing)?

laugh my ass off moments Wednesday, April 19, 2006

So, I'm on break this entire week. What have I been doing? Let's see. Well, I lazed around on Monday, went somewhere mentally taxing on Tuesday and now here I am in the Monash comp labs on Wednesday.

Guilty!Wen decided to come back to uni today to get some work done on her hard-assed Management assignment. But once sitting comfortably in the comp lab, aided with quick-assed internet access, she chose to update her blog. Thus, making Guilty!Wen become Lazy!Wen.

Damn. Double damn.

So, I got tagged a loooooooong time ago, and well, I decided to finally get them done. Since I'm free now. Oh wait, I'm not supposed to be free. Never mind that.

I might as well get started quickly so I can finish quickly and get to my research work. *nods wisely* Yep, that's the way to go.

Idiotic Idiosyncrasies

id-i-o-syn-cra-sy /,Ιdiә'sIήkrәsi/ n [C] 1 an unusual habit or way of behaving that someone has. 2 an unusual or unexpected feature that something has.

"Here's the game. Introduce 10 quirks or idiosyncrasies of yours on your blog, following which you are free to pick five more people to do the same thing."

Okay, I officially got tagged by Ms. Loong Sheng Mae, ages ago, so here goes nothing. After all, goodness knows I've got more than enough idiosyncrasies.

1. [Twisted]
I always reach up to twist one of my five earrings on my earlobes. Twist twist twist. All the time. If I'm not wearing studs and wearing dangling earrings instead, then I'll be fiddling with them. Fiddle fiddle fiddle. I do this so much that I usually end up pulling too hard, and the back of my earring (What's it called? The earring stopper?) falls off. And I absolutely H-A-T-E losing the back of my earrings. Ugh. It annoys me.

2. [Babble Babble; Toil and Trouble]
I can bull and cock with the best of them. Enough said. I talk a lot of nonsense, even more so when I'm sleepy. Rubbish comes out of my mouth when I need sleep. Ask anyone, they'll vouch for this.

3. [SMS from SMS - Save My Soul from SMSes]
I SMS too much. SO much that the keypads on my two previous phones konked out as a result from my frantic pressings and overuse. My brother claims I SMS often enough, and quickly enough, to generate enough kynetic energy to supply electricity for the whole of SS2. Yeah, as you can see, exaggeration runs in the family. And my father always complains about my phone bill in the end. It's a lose-lose situation - skyhigh bill and spoilt keypads - but I can't help it! SMS me, and I'll reply. Bad habit. When I'm bored, I'll SMS you. Nooooooo. I shall not.

4. [Dry Wit]
Sarcasm comes easily. It's like a spoilt tap; it can't shut itself off.

5. [The Evil Box]
Those of you who know me well enough probably already know that I'm a TV addict. *cries out dramatically* No one can save me anymoreeee! Nyaahahaha. But TV, it's a way of bonding with my family. It's at the end of the day, where we all sit down, and watch TV together and dissect the plot and the acting loudly, like wannabe movie directors. Tsk tsk.

6. [Ker-rack]
My second toe on my right foot can't stop cracking, something wrong with my joint there, I suppose. I know. Gross, right?

7. [Multi-Tasker]
I study with the TV on. I can talk on the phone and study. I study with the radio on. I study with my MP3 player on. I study with my computer on. It's a wonder I actually get any work done actually. Lol, not to mention that I'm wasting one big heck of electricity.

8. [Pace Me]
I type pretty fast, even if I do say so myself. It's practice from typing all those meeting minutes for about *count count count* four years. [Omg, I held some form of secretarial position for four years?] I remember I was damn free as a kid, and my dad had this sort of typing book and I used to study the diagrams for fun as a kid. I know, I know, it was weird. We had this type tester in the lousy comp labs back in school, testing to see how fast you could type and I remember amazing Win Han with my score. He then, in typical Win Han fashion, went around announcing it to everyone who would listen to him. Lol, amazing how i can just remember certain things but fail to remember the rest.

9. [Triple Z]
I love waking up in the morning and realising that it's not time to wake up just yet. Then, I turn over and go back to sleep. Aaaaah. Such a heavenly feeling.

10. [What?]
I'm very deaf. BUT, I'm very sensitive to the sound of water. Like, when the TV's blasting, I can tell when the pail overflows in the bathroom. I can hear the first few drops of rain. Odd, isn't it? I'm still figuring it out.

Who I tag in return?
Hmm. Anyone lah. I'm not particular.

And then, I also got tagged ages ago by Ms. Eunice Wong. So since I'm fulfilling my tags, I'm getting off my lazy ass and getting it done too.

Silly Sevens

Tag. You're IT.

meme Friday, June 10, 2005

I see Sher Reen running towards me. Her figure, at first only a dot on the horizon, is now only a couple of metres away from me. In her hand she holds a silver baton. I start jogging on the spot, sweat dripping off my brow, heart pounding in anticipation. I can almost see the finish line from here. The adrenalin runs through me as the she passes the baton to me. I fumble... And drop it.

Time stops. I've dropped the Blogger's Baton, you all. I never liked relay races anyway.

Haha!!

For those of you who are slow, and do not appreciate my weak attempt at humour, clear out. This is obviously not the place for you. You need at least half a brain to understand me.

Gosh, I'm getting way too lame for my own good. It just sort of comes with the ton of free time, you know. Lol. Or maybe I should say drama queen. Oh come on people, I just miss writing fictional stories. You know, where everyone is perfect and they live in houses with white picket fences and three dogs. Some fluff or other, but I used to love conjuring them up a few years ago. More on that another day, anyway.

So anyway, I'VE BEEN TAGGED! Yeah, remember those catching games we used to play in primary school, which resulted in scraped knees, huffing and puffing? Yeah well, I'm IT now. Haha, who would've thought?

Anyway.. Here goes, dropped baton and all.

LAST BLOG I READ WAS : Sher Reen's of course. When I saw her running towards me with the baton and all. Hee hee. She also made me blush.

IMO, THE BEST ENTRY I HAVE EVER BLOGGED IS : Hmm, that's a pretty tough one. But I shall be modest, and not say all of them. *pauses* Yes, I'm just kidding. I think I'll go with the ones I started off with, back last year in December where I blogged pretty religiously. =)

FIVE BLOGS THAT MAY BE BETTER THAN MINE :

Sharmin, with her continuous razor-sharp gigantic bag of wits and sarcasm.
Sher Reen, whose language never fails to impress me, and whose classy layout I oh-so-adore.
Mei Ling, and all her cool anime backgrounds, plus, I love the way she rants.
Sheng, I love the way she updates regularly, telling us all about the day she had. It's familiar and comforting, warm and fuzzy. :) Am I making sense? Of course, I like to laugh at her too, lah!
Chris, because the topics he blogs on are well-thought out and defined. Rather than just my usual psycho-babble bull. He makes me think. Even though he's mean, and he keeps on ditching me. Hmph.

I KNOW MY READERS ARE ADDICTED TO MY BLOG BECAUSE : I'm too damn funny. And they like looking at my pictures. Hah! They're probably just thinking, "God, what a sad blog. Let's just visit it daily to make the visit counter go up."

I PASS THIS TO :

Sharm, because I miss you. And let's give you something Malaysian to do while you're over there fishing and what not. Freezing and all, and nearly drinking dishwashing liquid.

Sheng, because I miss you too, lah. And I so wanna see you answer the "I know my readers are addicted to my blog because..." part! Haha!

K Vin, because I want to disturb you! Mwahahahahahaha! Here's the baton, buddy! *inserts another evil chuckle here* Ain't I just mean? And sadistic? Nah, I just like the way you express yourself. It's so "frickin'" interesting. :) Yea, you use that term, like, tons.

Wern Ai, because your aunt won't ever see it. Lol. Giving you more opportunities at linguistic freedom. Not that you need it and all, you know. That's just it. I know that didn't make a hell whole lot of sense. But anyway, you're IT, because I say so. :) And I like the way you write. :)

So that's that, people! The Big Bad Blogger's Baton is coming your way. The guy who created this is probably wishing that it had never reached me at all in the first place.
