I can't remember if my blog title actually shows.
Well, it says "quotes ftw! (:"

So I'm going to be listing quotes. Ha. Yup, this is how bored I am.

1) "Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong, and disposable." - Movie: Clue. (:D kidding.)

2) "It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up, because by that time I was too famous." - Robert Benchley.

3) "What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left." - Oscar Levant. (Ironic much?)

4) "You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'." - Homer Simpson. (Oh, absolutely.)

5) "Misery cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one person to the next." - Law of Conservation of Misery. (Yes, there is such a thing. Wicked, isn't it?)

6) "At my age I do what Mark Twain did. I get my daily paper, look at the obituaries page and if I'm not there I carry on as usual." - Patrick Moore. (O__O)

7) "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." - Winston Churchill. (HAHA, so true. 'Changmin!')

8) "I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you." - Roy Croft. (Aww!)

9) "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." - Woody Allen. (... sweet.)

10) "The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller.

11) "I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever." - Rabindranath Tagore. (Again, aww.)

12) "Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been." - Mark Twain.

13) "The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not." - Mark Twain. (Darn!)

14) "By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." - Charles Wadsworth.

15) "For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it." - George W. Bush. (Intelligent, this one.)

16) "If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now." - Douglas Adams.

17) "If something can go wrong, it will. If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value. For example, the chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet." - Murphy's Law. (Without a doubt. Yup, I'm a hopeless pessimist.)

18) "Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure." - Murphy's Law.

19) "The first myth of management is that it exists." - Murphy's Law.

20) "Procrastinate now. Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now." - A funny t-shirt (Hear, hear! :D)

21) "All men are idiots and I married their King." - A funny t-shirt

22) "Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention." - Movie: Dumb and Dumber. (I see..)

23) "Arthur hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction there and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife." - Douglas Adams.

Finite.

Holidays are full of emptiness. And Physics Attachment to NUS was a fruitful way to fill up part of this emptiness, believe it or not. Tomorrow's the last day of the attachment, and it's been fun. All my hair has dropped out from thinking too much, but people who know me will know I enjoy confusing myself, so what the heck. :D

    The usual overwhelming feeling of sadness and nostalgia.
    The usual silent tears.
    The usual hidden smile beneath the tears.

    "I'm not crying because it's over. I'm crying.. because I'm glad it all happened."

    //

    "Thank you and goodbye, Teachers."
    When you say something for a last time, you finally realise that it means so much more than what you've been making it out to be for the past 2 years. Now, you wonder why you didn't put as much love into saying it all the other times before.. but it's too late.

    校歌

    我们跟时代进行
    高唱谐和的歌音
    五育平均齐发展
    堂堂地做个完人
    共同努力追赶光明
    巩固国家基础锻炼身心

    我南洋桃李成荫
    我南洋校誉光荣
    在太平洋的西岸
    在印度洋的东滨
    共同努力振起精神
    献身国家社会锻炼身心

    One last chance to sing it.
    To be honest, it sounded unpleasant, harsh, uncouth..
    But we sang it loud and sang it proud.

    Cheers.

    MOUNTAIN OF CRAP INCOMING!

    "As I bade farewell to my last NYGH EOY Chinese Paper, a tear escaped from my tear gland and ventured down my cheek. With a flourish, I made a piece of tissue paper appear. The piece of tissue ended the teardrop's journey and I smiled. All was well."

    I don't like how I can't tell whether a Chinese paper is difficult or not O.O

    When Paper 2 ended, I went "PHEW! :D", only to be faced with "SHIT THAT WAS DAMN DIFFICULT!" from classmates.

    So I go:

    -blank smile-
    "Really?"

    Followed by:
    "Screw."

    If FAN JINGJING and LIM SEOKTING think it's hard, then..

    //

    Two days before EOYs, I remember thinking: "Eh. EOYs in two days.. Been there, done that." *flicks hair, yawn*

    Now I keep thinking EOYs are over -.- when in fact, we've only tackled LA, Chinese and IH. (maybe because the 3 papers that kill your hands are over :D and all we have left are maths and science and hmp <3 aw how FUN.)

    Really, they ARE more enjoyable to sit through than LA, Chinese and IH 8)

    //

    I changed the songs by the sidebar. It's the divergence from CPop and attachment to KPop (: Taiwanese idol groups really can't @#$%^&*! sing as compared to Korean bands.

    You didn't hear me say anything.
    o_o

    //

    17 days to the release of my bottled up insanity.
    17 days to endless fangirling :D
    17 days to.. *flail*

    Can't wait ^^

    booya (:

    i think i have successfully irritated my whole family by blasting 'mirotic' all day; my sexy sound system is particularly adept at sending the sound waves through walls and stuff. it practically penetrates solid objects. goes right through them. probably passes through brains too. mine feels fuzzy. shucks i am incoherent.

    i think i have also irritated all of them by shouting, 'changmin!' every 5 minutes. i believe i shall be wanting to do that again next weekend.

    //

    i have finished my book (the one i said i'd be reading in my post yesterday). my reading speed has increased. strange. i pride myself in my being a slow reader. i hate that i finished the book in one and a half days. have i mentioned? i took half a year with dan brown's da vinci code. magnificent. but that was mainly because i dwelled for 2 months on this single chapter full of crap about a whole generation of popes i didnt care about. it was too boring to read, seriously. eventually i skipped the whole chapter and managed to move on. phew.

    i love severus snape.

    [Dumbledore and Snape discussing Snape's continued love for Lily Evans -
    Dumbledore: "After all this time, Severus?"
    Snape: "Always." ]

    after that line i had to grab a hairdryer to save the page.
    T_T

    oh and here.

    [Harry: Snape's Patronus was a doe, the same as my mother's. Because he loved her for nearly all of his life.]

    sigh.

    //

    i have successfully slacked off my entire weekend; didnt manage to do anything at all. damn. the prospect of hmp sia is @#$%^&*!-ish. and i dont think i've handed in my chinese book reports yet. hm. na-ah, dont think i've even done them yet.

    time to sleep.

    Block Test 2 ended a few days ago, so I now seem to have a whole lot of spare time ahead of me. Well, you don't hear me complaining.

    I've watched tons of movies. I'm guilty for spending so much money. $$$$$! D<
    Let's see now..
    1. Monsters vs Aliens
    2. Wolverine
    3. Night at the Museum 2
    4. Up
    5. Transformers 2
    6. Ice Age 3
    7. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    ..and last year I watched a whole lot of shit too @#$%^&*!
    I regret watching 1. and 5. from the list above -.-
    But I could have chosen to not watch any of those (and save all that money) because papa would have bought the pirated discs of all those home.

    ANYWAY.
    I recently went back in time by rummaging through my CD shelf. I found the CD I had played only about a billion times back when I was.. 7 or 8, I think. I believe I actually understood the lyrics at that age because I remember that I liked Track No. 3 in particular because of the lyrics.

    Hold Me - Savage Garden

    Hey
    If we can't find a way out of these problems
    Then maybe we don't need this
    Standing face to face
    Enemies at war we build defences
    And secret hiding places

    I might need you to hold me tonight
    I might need you to say it's alright
    I might need you to make the first stand
    Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

    Hey
    More than angry words I hate this silence
    It's getting so loud
    I want to scream
    But bitterness has silenced these emotions
    It's getting hard to breathe
    So tell me isn't happiness
    Worth more than a golden diamond ring?
    I'm willing to do anything
    To calm the storm in my heart
    I've never been the praying kind
    But lately I've been down upon my knees
    Not looking for a miracle
    Just a reason to believe

    Do you remember not long ago?
    When we used to live for the nighttime
    Cherish each moment
    Now we don't live we exist
    We just run through our lives
    So alone
    That's why you've got to hold me


    //

    Okay, I lied. I wasn't deliberately indulging in reminiscence -.-
    I merely saw a video with Yoochun and Changmin singing "I knew I loved you" by Savage Garden. Then I decided to dig out the CD. Changmin sounds preposterously adorable singing in English.

    //

    I knew I loved you - Savage Garden

    Maybe it's intuition
    But some things you just don't question
    Like in your eyes
    I see my future in an instant
    and there it goes
    I think I've found my best friend
    I know that it might sound more than
    a little crazy but I believe

    I knew I loved you before I met you
    I think I dreamed you into life
    I knew I loved you before I met you
    I have been waiting all my life

    There's just no rhyme or reason
    only this sense of completion
    and in your eyes
    I see the missing pieces
    I'm searching for
    I think I found my way home
    I know that it might sound more than
    a little crazy but I believe

    A thousand angels dance around you
    I am complete now that I found you

    //

    I'm off to read the last installment of the Harry Potter series again. Yay!
    Oh, have I ever mentioned that i CANNOT STAND random books with book reviews saying stuff along the lines of, "Move over, Harry Potter." and "What are you still doing reading Harry Potter?"

    Fine, this is all personal opinion, but anyhow, to those nitwit reviewers, get a load of this: SHUT UP. YOU WILL NEVER FIND A BOOK WITH A PLOT AS WELL-THOUGHT OUT AND AS IMAGINATIVE AS THAT OF HARRY POTTER.

    Kudos to J.K.Rowling.

    Tata :3 oh, and 심창민 is adorable. Contradict me and die.
    ><

    //

    I forgot: (dammit, cuttlefish, WHAT KIND OF SINGAPOREAN ARE YOU?!)
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE!

    I know I'm not watching the National Day Parade and there's about an 80% chance that I will forget to take the pledge at 8.22pm. But trust me, I love you. (: Really. I'll never take up citizenship anywhere else in the world.. Yes, even England. Why? Because I love you too much, Singapore! *innocent smile* <3

    eh.

    once upon a time, it was the 18th of july 2009.

    cuttlefish was at home, happy, minding her own business, doing her homework while listening to 'Mirotic' by DBSK for the million time in the row since the day before.

    from 9am to about 11am, there was a stream of ringing of doorbells. a lot of deliveries of food from.. nowhere. cuttlefish had no idea what was happening. maybe she was just confused/zonked. she didnt expect anything o.o

    cuttlefish should have known better.

    wendy called later on and sounded as if she was crying. 'cass, i had a fight with my parents, can i go to your house for a while?'
    cuttlefish replied, 'o.o okay!'

    wendy arrived and cuttlefish invited her in.
    2 minutes after wendy's arrival, the doorbell rang again.


    GECO percussion:
    'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY....' *sound dwindles*

    cuttlefish fainted, recovered and attempted to close the door.
    after failing to close the door, cuttlefish shouted, 'AH OMGOSH WHY.. AND WHAT-WHAT AM I WEARING?!'

    and the celebration began.

    //

    at 4.30pm, it ended.
    and as with all endings, the arrival of that blanket of loss befalls, heavy, depressing, dark, gloomy.

    sad, really.

    "Don't be sad because it's over; be glad because it's happened."

    you all know i can't say this with all of you listening.
    i can type it with you all reading, though.

    GECO percussion:
    i never expected this. i'm surprised. i'm shocked.
    i'm happy because you came. i'm touched because you put in so much thought to this and went through so much trouble to be here.
    i feel guilty because i'm such a lousy host and because i don't deserve this at all. i feel grateful because i've been accepted so soon after joining GE.
    i'll miss you all because i'll not be going for practice for a while.
    thank you.
    and.. well,
    i love you all. ><
    十兄弟 (:












    don't worry; my tears shall be your reassurance that i will never forget today..
