What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Well, today marks the halfway mark of the school holidays. ): It doesn't even feel like two weeks, I thought it was the end of the first week yesterday! Stupid extra lessons adflal;jfasfd. >:( And the best part is that I have camp from the 12th to the 14th, then job attachment from the 16th to the 20th.

At least I went to Debbie's house for a sleepover with the Purplehooders Thursday and yesterday! :) I went to Debbie's house to find the both of them trying to sing Jason Mraz's I'm Yours -- which is, actually, a very pretty song. After a few feeble attemps of doing homework, we started watching House until like 3A.M.. House marathons FTW~

As usual, Debbie woke up the latest. We had breakfast then we left for Marina Square to watch Prince Caspian which was a lot better than I expected, and not just because I think William Moseley is cute. After that Debbie had to go taekwando so Jing and I went to AMK Hub to eat Fish&Co. but there was this HUGE queue so we went to the Food Court instead.

Then I went home! Funfunfun. :)


I think I need to stop watching QAF and House simultaneously. Because the more I do, the more I think that House and Wilson's relationship is like Brian's and Michael's. Which is dangerous because... well anyone who's watched QAF before will understand why the parallels are dangerous. But let me tell you why I think so anyways.

They're willing to put with anything from each other. Wilson ratted House out to Tritter about House's Vicodin addiction [[which I don't actually think is an addiction -- if I were in that much pain I'd be downing Vicodin like candy too]] and then retracted that because Wilson realised it wasn't a problem. And when Tritter pointed out that he would be put in jail for that, he said he would rather go to jail instead of ratting House out to the court. And Michael puts up with Brian time and time again -- drugs, promiscuity, peeing on his stuff... And the you're pathetic thing! House says that to Wilson in 3.22 and it's an ongoing thing with Michael and Brian.

Most of off, they love each other. It's repeated only like a billion time in QAF [[Brian: You look fantastic... you are fantastic.]], and although House only verbalises it once [[and Wilson, being a manly hetero man who cooks dinner and blow-dries his hair doesn't say anything in return]], it's quite obvious that they love each other. Like the jail thing, then the Wilson lost his job to save House's job incident, and tons of other stuff.

And there are distinct simliarities between the characters. Brian's a casual drug user, and House is addicted to Vicodin. Brian tried to off himself in 1.22, and House doesn't particularly care if he lives or dies sometimes [[like ODing on Oxycodone]]. Brian pretends like he doesn't love people, and House, and I quote House himself, "I've been alienating people since I was three". But they do actually care for a few people. Also, they're both sarcastic, funny assholes.

I guess the only difference is that Wilson is not in love with House like Michael is with Brian. But he might as well be, since his two billion relationships with women haven't worked out so well [[House: All you had to do was say "I do". God knows it's a phrase you've used often enough in your life.]]. Kinda like some Greek god who went after this -- and this is from the placard thingie at the Greek art exhibition I went to some time ago -- "beautiful boy" after his wife died or something.

But what do I know, right? I'm not a script writer.

I saw this somewhere:
Every time you push a button, a random person in the world dies and you get $1000. Would you push it? How many times? And what would you buy with the money? (If you wouldn't, would you do it for $10,000? $100,000? How much would it take?) If you're not down for killing, what would you do for what price? Pose naked for a magazine, eat a roach, drink urine, have sex with a stranger, contract a disease you can never get rid of, never use a computer again, live without a cell phone forever, promise to never see your family again?

Interesting, isn't it? My response would be no to pushing the button. But only because I don't like the thought of blood being on my hands. The comments to that post had someone saying that her boyfriend said he would never take his finger off the button. :/

It depends on the photographer for the posing for naked for a magazine thing. If it's like some sleazy photographer for Maxim or Playboy, no way, but if it's tasteful and I got a lot of money from it [[say... $10,000]], why not? I'd only eat a cockroach if I could cook it first for $1000, $10,000 for drinking my own urine, and the sex with a stranger... probably not, but if so, it depends on whether the person was clean or not, and if not, what kind of STD he has. Chlamydia, sure, HIV, bye bye. Obviously the price we're talking about here is like $50,000 increasing with the severity of the STD.

It really depends on what disease we're talking about if I were to contract one I could never get rid of. Asthma or the common cold for $20,000? Bring it on baby! Diabetes I'd take too, but for $50,000 -- because of the increased medical expenses. If you're talking ALS, Creutzfeldt-Jakob or Huntington's, then no, not for any price.

Never use a computer again... $500,000. But only because I can use my phone to surf the web. Hah. Live without a cell phone forever? $50,000. I can always use a land line. Promise to never see my family again? Um. Three million dollars. Probably more.

What about you?

Camp, and jealousy

Camp was surprisingly okay.

Well, if you overlook the fact that the food was terrible [[but then again everyone says that I'm horrible when it comes to food, so yeah, you might not want to take my word for it]], the water to bathe was freaking cold, the floor we slept on was super hard, and I had no connection to the outside world.

But unless your living conditions are horrible, it isn't camp. I mean, if you're living in a nice place on a nice comfy bed with hot water and a bathtub and room service, it's more of a holiday, isn't it?

Anyways, we came in third for minicomp. :) Which was what Su Fang and Natalie wanted, so I'm happy too. The present we got was this doll thing hanging from a spring coil. I'm not sure how useful it is, but it's adorable.

We went for this fire prevention course on the second day, which was cool, because I got to use a fire extinguisher. Haha now I sound like such a loser. But whatever, it was fun! :D I also got to call my sister during lunch break, which was like salvation to me. When you eat, sleep, breathe and talk about something for too long a period, your brain melts. Metaphorically, of course. It was a relief to talk to someone who was not part of all the madness.

The most interesting thing that happened during the camp was this big dramaz between the Sec Ones. This girl's mom went to complain about the stuff we did during camp, and this other girl wasn't happy about it. The unhappy kid ended up crying. And then I don't know what happened. Fun, isn't it?

The most interesting thing I learned is that Priscilla thinks that the actor who plays Sylar on Heroes, Zachary Quinto, is hot. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha that guy looks like Rob. Heh, I'm mean. >:)

I think here is where I go, "I would so do it over again", but I can't.


I missed watching TV. Heroes, QAF, whatever.

I just realised that Heroes rips off from many different shows. X-men -- especially the eyes when Issac paints; it's identical to Storm's --, Prison Break [[that what's-that-fat-guy's-name breaking out of that stupid room thing with HRG's help]], CSI [[Sylar and his victims]] and something else that I noted but forgot. It's still good though, which is the scary part.

Hiro is super super super cute!

Ando: Go and talk to yourself.
Hiro: No, you do it. I scare me.

And his flying man thing! ad;lfkajsdfl;kjaf GO HIROOOOOOOOO!


On Monday, I went to City Hall's Robinsons. The cosmetics department there rocks. There was Jeremy's Jean Paul Gaultier cologne ad, Mathias's for Gucci, and the Z Zegna guy who is so hot.


Don't you agree? :D

And they also had like 5 bottles of Eau des Merveilles, the Pegasus edition.

Esther though that Un Jardin Sur Le Nil was better than both Coco Mademoiselle and Eau des Merveilles. Shockinggg. Coco Mademoiselle EDP is super strong. I sprayed one spritz on Esther and I could smell it for so long afterwards. If I have anything to do with it, my next perfume purchase will be that. Yay. :)





And just because I've been so out of touch with everything, it was news to see England out of Euro 08. A draw was all they needed, but it was too hard. Poor things. I'm glad they're out though. I don't need the newspapers talking about them all the freaking time.

WTF Germany. A goaless draw. Ergh. At least they're through though, yay. :D

You know, in camp, one of the things that drove me was that Robin would be back for Wigan right after it, but he's not going to be back until after Sevilla. Ergh. At least he's back training though. Let's hope he gets match fit. Fast.

We have something like 5 midfielders out for Wigan. Cesc, Alex, Flams, Diaby and Gilberto. I wonder who we're going to play. Rosa, Denilson, Diarra and Eboue/Walcott seems likely. But it's only Wigan, so I'm not too worried. If we can't beat Wigan with such a lineup, we should probably forget about the title.

I'm really looking forward to the match. It's been what, 2 weeks since the last Arsenal match? 2 weeks = way too long. I wonder how I'm going to survive the off season. But that's still far away, so whatever!

The festive e-catalogue came out! Whee!






I wonder if the shirts were specially re-arranged for this, or if they're like that usually. If they weren't, these people don't know their numbers. Tsk.


This picture is amusing on so many levels. The guy's not hot [[you'd think that since we're the second richest club financially we'd be able to afford a halfway decent model, right?]], and oh my god, the underwear. Hahahahahahaha. I don't even know why I'm so amused by the underwear, I just am.


And I thought everyone looked adorable in a beanie. Maybe it's just the scary expression though. And yes, you better be ready for the Christmas period Robin! >:(



My sister got 264 for PSLE.

I'm happy for her. I'm just angry at me for being such a fucking idiot. And also by the fact that my sister went from zero to hero in an instant with my parents. She told me that everyone was like, "OMG YOU BEAT BELINDA" like it's really something to be proud of.

No one's telling that to me though, so I suspect that they're trying to protect my fragile ego. I wish I could say that I'd shrug it off if someone told me that, but I can't. I'd probably tell that person to get the fuck out of my face.

At least one good thing's going to come out of this -- my sister's getting a camera! Hopefully she'll be able to push them for the Rebel XTi. But that's hoping for too much. I think I'll settle for one of the cheaper ones. We'll see.

The only gay in the village -- Fabregas reveals his penchant for Little Britain and semi-nude X-box sessions
"I like to sit around the house and watch my favourites TV programmes - Lost, Prison Break, Desperate Housewives but I really like playing football on my X-Box."
This made me squeal internally. PRISON BREAK FTW. :D What the fuck at Desperate Housewives though. I think I've watched half an episode of Desperate Housewives in my entire life. I was trying to watch one episode, but I got so bored halfway I switched channels. It wasn't funny, and the characters were full of drama.

On the other hand, Queer As Folk is awesome. Let's count the way that it's awesome, shall we not? :D

1) It's a gay drama serial. And for those who don't enjoy the boy touching, there is a lesbian couple too. Also, as of Season 2 Episode 3, there has been 2 straight sex scenes. So there's something for everybody! :)

2) Brian. Brian is the character everyone loves to hate in early Season 1, since he comes off as a mean, egoistical, vain, self-obsessed, narcissistic, unloving, selfish, promiscuous, drug-taking, cigarette-smoking toot, but as the show progresses, he shows that he's capable of love, and he becomes more... human, if you get what I mean. He's also a total label whore. :D

3) Michael. Michael's the best. He's so lovable, and his love for Brian is heart-wrenching. And his little pout!

4) Brian/Michael. The main thing that makes Brian/Michael so good is how much they love and need each other. In Season 1, Michael breaks up with Dr. David [[whoo hoo!]], which his mom opposes to, because she thinks that Dr. David is good for Michael. She goes to Brian and tells him to give Michael back to David. So Brian does that by pushing Michael away from him and to David, and ends up miserable without his best friend.

He starts hanging out with Ted at Woody's, and while they were talking, he compared Ted to Michael. He realises that Ted sucks compared to Michael, and decides to go hang out at Mel's and Linz's.

There was a quote that went something like this,
Brian: What do we have in common anyways?
Mel: Your lives?
Brian: Aside from that.

Also, Brian was uninterested in all the guys who were hitting on him at the bars when he was separated from Michael. Brian Kinney uninterested in sex! :O Amazing, isn't it? This just goes to show how much they care for each other.

Some quotes because quotes prove everything. :D

Brian: Did you really think you'd be happy in Wisconsin playing the doctor's wife?
Michael: Oregon. Portland's in Oregon.
Brian: Wherever the fuck.
Michael: Maybe that's the problem, I don't know where the fuck I belong.
[[They kiss]]
Brian: There, that's where.

Michael: Look, I meant what I said you didn't have to come. Things have changed, we moved on, it's ok. No demands, no expectations, no regrets.
Brian: Well as long as I'm here we might as well have a good time. Hey, let's get a picture.
Michael: That's for kids.
Brian: Come onnnn Mikey.
Michael: It's stupid.
Brian: It wasn't stupid when we use to lock ourselves up in your room reading Captain Astro and Galaxy Lad and wishing we were invincible like them. And pretending that no earthly force can separate us, like them. And swearing that we'd always be there for each other, like them.


5) Brian/Justin. It's captivating. From the first hook up to Justin "the president of my [[Brian's]] fanclub" to Brian wearing the blood stained scarf under his clothes for 6 weeks.
♥ And it's not like it happened over one episode, or that Brian suddenly became, "OMG JUSTIN ILY LET'S GET MARRIED BB, KK?"

6) Emmett. He's one of my favourite characters in the show. He started off as kind of bland and useless [[You know the feeling you get when you think characters are there just as plot fillers? Yeppeth.]] to me, but he's grown on me since. He's so camp, and I think it's adorable that he calls everyone "darling" and "sweetie". :D And Emmett never gives up on love, even though he hasn't had the best luck with it.

Words can be kinda heavy sometimes. And since pictures tell a thousand words, videos should be better, right?






My sister thinks Hal Sparks [[the actor who plays Michael]] is hot. To be more specific, the hottest man on Earth. Okay okay fine, it was reaaaallly late, and I was forcing it out of her, but whatever, she could've denied it but she didn't! Hah! :D She also dreams about Gale Harold nekkid. [[Note the spelling of naked. ;)]] Late night conversations rock! :D

And here is my sister giving all of us some words of wisdom:
"He enjoys cooking, but he might not be good at it."
http://models.com/model_culture/model_of_week/julien/

Although she can come up with halfway smart things sometimes, she does say some stupid shit. For example, when she dropped her Pegasus TY beanie onto the ledge outside her window, she had to move the TV to get to him. She pushed it and went, "Wow I'm strong. Oh wait, there are rollers." Haha I love my family. :D


PICTURE TIME! :D In addition to Arsenal-Mania, I now spend too much time on modelhommes.com as well! I really should start on my homework. I haven't done anything. D: But anyways, enjoy the gorgeousness!















Heh heh. Notice how Mathias is in the picture but it says Lars on the rack behind him? :D






Let's play Spot Lars! The person who finds Lars first gets a cookie! [[Can't find him? Highlight for answer! He's the one on the far left, looking away from the camera.]]




Beckham the best choice for the Armani underwear ads? *scoffs*








This is Mathias [[yes I kid you not!]] backstage at Galliano. I love the septum. :)


Wow this woman looks short. I think that's how I'll look next to Mathias too. D: But anyways, KEVIN! He's the one in the orange.





My throat's fucking killing me now. And I'm running a temperature too. ): Hope all of you are feeling better than I am.

Number 2 -- Kevin Flamme

Haha this has to be the most amusing picture of Kevin ever. He's still smiling despite the fact that the patterns clash so much, that the pants should really be underwear and not shorts [[actually they could be underwear, but evs]], and that he's carrying a manbag.


















This is my favourite. ♥








Guh. ♥












Srsly the best picture ever. Can I have the car and the boy? ;)











Christal had this wonderful idea of listing stuff out, so I shall copy it. All the credit must go to her. :)

Eins:
*while watching She's the Man*
Belinda: You the man!
Bernice: Yeah yeah yeah


Zwei:
Bernice: Wah all our friends so rich leh
Dad: We're rich too what**
Bernice: So rich buy me a Galliano couture gown lah
Dad: What's rubbish is that?
Bernice: :OOO DO NOT CALL GALLIANO RUBBISH

**my dad is clearly delusional


Drei:
So I bought this month's Arsenal magazine, and there's this portion of the "What if" interview with Robin [[the same one with Cesc on the podcast a few weeks ago]], and my dad went, "Ah, who is it arh? Robert van Persie ah?" My sister went, "OMG YOU DON'T KNOW HIS NAME AAL;DFJAL;DFJ HIS NAME IS ROBIN!" Hahaha so defensive. I was thorougly amused by it though.


Vier:
Beatrice aspires to be a gorilla. I think she's halfway there already. The gorilla husband-to-be, the gorilla look, and the grunting. I remember watching this programme on TV about this gorilla who was almost human. His name was Oliver but he looked like Rooney. I feel really stupid for not screencapping it, but whatever. It was kind of long ago.


Fünf:
I think I've found the perfect car for me. The Audi Q7. I know I said before that I would never get an Audi, but this car is just that perfect. Why have I not seen it before? All the pictures of it are really unflattering; you just have to see it in real life.


Sechs:
Brian/Michael FTW.

Michael: You're just jealous because somebody finally thinks I'm hot or something.
Brian: You are hot or something. I've been telling you that since you were 14, but you won't believe me.

Michael: Oh shut up.
Brian: Who did this thing to you? Ah, let me guess. Emmett de la Renta?
...
Brian: So what do you think?
Michael: I think I look like you.
Brian: You look fantastic. You are fantastic. Remember that, Mikey.

Mysterious Marilyn: Oujia, what is his true love's name? B-R-I-A..
Michael: That is not my boyfriend's name.
MM: That wasn't the question, and frankly, he's a bad bet.

Brian: You know that's what I'm going to miss the most. Times like these when it's just you and me. But now you have the doc.
Michael: We've always been there for each other.
Brian: You more than me.
Michael: That's not true.
Brian: Yeah, it is. I know I can be shitty to you sometimes. I know that. But it's only because I know that you'll always love me, no matter what.
Michael: I do.
Brian: I do too. Always have, always will. I don't know how I could have made it without you.







I think the actor who plays Michael, Hal Sparks, looks like a cross between Cesc and Clifton Murray. Michael's my favourite character in the show. :D Brian's a close second mostly because he's so shitty to Justin and Michael.

The best songs EVER.


John Legend -- Show Me

I realized as I lay down to sleep
We haven't spoke in weeks
So many things that I'd like to know
Come have a talk with me
I need a sign, something I can see
Why all the mystery?
I try not to fall for make believe
But what is reality?
Where do we go?
What do we know?
Life has to have a meaning
Show me the light
Show me the way
Show that you're listening

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

Guess it's funny how I say thanks to you
For all you've given me
Sometimes the price of what you gave to me
I can't stop questioning
O God of love, peace, and mercy
Why so much suffering?
I pray for the world, it gets worse to me
Wonder if you're listening
When people go
Why do they go?
Why don't you choose me?
But someday I know I'm gonna go
I hope you're waiting for me

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me

Maybe we'll talk
Some other night
Right now I'll take it easy
Won't spent my time
Waiting to die
Enjoy the life I'm living

Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven's watching over me
