Life is unexpected.

At any moment, you could die of cancer.

At any moment, a family member could just drop dead.

At any moment, you could get rammed by a car.

At any moment, a natural disaster could happen, and many lives would be lost.

Life is short - the average life expectancy of a human is probably just 60-80 years old.

We should learn to treasure it. Live it to the fullest, as corny as it sounds.

We might not have the picture perfect family life. We might not have what those actors have in movies. We might not come from wealthy families. But even though, life is just.. life.

We weren't placed in this world for a reason. It just somehow happened. Humans started evolving, dinosaurs died. Who knows, in the future we might be living on the moon.

People have different views on why we live.

Do we live because life is for enjoying?

Do we live to be happy?

Do we live to love?

Do we live to work, to become rich businessmen?

Do we live to die?

I believe in all of them. Not just the above, but whatever everyone says.

But do you ever realize, that all of this somehow leads to money.

Just imagine the world with no money, when the world wasn't so selfish.

Isn't that a hard thing to imagine?

When all races could just unite. World peace.

We'd all have a wonderful life.

A world without money would probably be like a communist planet. You could work if you felt like it, and the lazy people wouldn't give a shit. Money drives us all.

But too bad; the world doesn't work that way.

We live life to enjoy. Now, to enjoy, to go on a holiday to the Bahamas or Bali, you need a plane ticket. You need a hotel accommodation. That needs money.

We live life to be happy. Happy is just a simple small pleasure. Go to a Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik store and buy a pair of shoes. Buy that new PSP game that just came out, and you're the first one to ever have it. A piece of Godiva chocolate truffle that just melts in your mouth. But not all of them can make you happy; saving a little lost bird gives you a little pride and happiness too. But, still; mostly it needs money.

We live life for lust. Yeah, pretty much leads to prostitution. But some people do believe in true love and all that stuff you watch on soap operas. I'm not saying that love is a bad thing, but just part of it relates to money. Cheating husband who's a big CEO; screwing his assistant. Lust.

We live life to work. Study → work → businessman → money

We live to die. No matter what we do, we all die in the end anyway.

In the end, I'm just talking about bullshit that comes up to my mind.

So just live life to the fullest and stop thinking about all of this.

10 things to do when you're bored

Always bored? Yeah, me too.

Going on the internet can get boring after a while, won't it?

You go on the basic stuff - Facebook, Twitter, Hotmail.

After that, then.. what?

You stare at Facebook for a few moments. You start playing games that you do daily everyday too; Farmville, Pet Society, Restaurant City.

Then.. you get bored because you realize, you do this every day.

When you get bored again, you look at Facebook, but you're not getting any notifications.

What you can do when you're extremely bored (and when you want to waste time) is..

1) Watch TV

No brainer. Lol.

2) YouTube

No brainer #2

3) Go on Wikipedia

.. and find for one thing. Then click whatever relates to it when you're done or when you don't know what that word means. Really, it's time consuming, and you actually learn stuff.

4) www.vigilantcitizen.com

This guy's articles makes your mind blow.

At least it made mine, anyway. It'll make you go.. 'Who knew?'

5) www.moillusions.com

Mess up your mind even more with optical illusions! There's so many pages of illusions, and pretty good commentary on it. I usually give up on the illusions and find for the answers in the comments lolfail.

6) FML, IMMD, MLIA and the rest

When you need a laugh.

7) Failblog

Fail pictures and videos, oh my!

8) onemanga/some other manga website/some anime streaming website

omgz animez!11oneone

Who doesn't like too-perfect characters (eg. hot guys and cute girls) that don't exist?

I'm not trying to promote media piracy, but everyone's probably done it once in their life, unless if you don't own a computer.

9) Exercise

Not my favorite thing to do. I barely even exercise myself, but when I do I go HARDCORE.

Then I eat a lot. Fail.

10) Go out and breathe some fresh air

Yes. Radioactive shit is probably messing up your brain already.

In conclusion: boredom sucks.

Symbolism

There are many definitions for symbolism, but the one I'm gonna talk about is symbolism in arts.
You can read more about symbolism in art on Wiki, of course, but that ruins the point of reading this blog post, no?

This blog post was inspired by art class today.
Of course, there are many types of symbolism; religious symbolism, political symbolism etc (haha took this out of Wiki 'cause I wanna act smart)

I find symbolism kinda creepy. Like, in some paintings - or in this case many paintings - there are pictures of skulls and death, and random objects like crows and eagles have some deep meaning into it.
I am clearly fascinated by this, yet extremely creeped out when I research stuff like this, or if someone tells me about it (as of Mr. Sathi, who is our art teacher).

What we learned today was symbolism in old paintings. Of course, nobody paints Jesus or some rich dude or some goddess anymore to sell for millions (unless if it's painted in gold or something) since we have a marvelous device called a camera. But, in the olden days, paintings were cool and if you were a painter you could be filthy rich or something. Symbolism still exists now though, in modern forms. Not paintings, but if I were to give an example... I would say maybe Lady Gaga's songs.

Lady Gaga's cool now, and so are her songs, but did you notice that her music videos are random? Random music videos usually have some meaning to it. In Lady Gaga's case, Bad Romance.

I've read this article, which is very popular now since it ranks first when you Google 'Lady Gaga Bad Romance meaning'. You can laugh at me for typing that in Google, but hey. I was curious and bored. I can't go on Facebook all day, I need my read-weird-articles moment. Everyone should read it, I think it's super cool and creepy at the same time. Oh, Lady Gaga. How she amazes me. And creeps me out at the same time.

One painting that we saw today was.. I forgot what it was called and by who, but I'll tell you what I can recall, since Google isn't exactly cooperating with me.

It was a picture of two men, French-looking (you know those funky olden Shakespeare-ish clothes with poofy pants) with intelligent-looking objects in a shelf in between them. I forgot what objects there was on the shelf, but I think it's something to show how smart they are. And at the bottom, there's this surfboard-looking thing. Apparently, if you look at the painting from one side with your head smooshed on the wall, you can see a skull. So if you look at the painting from the front and you know that it's a skull, it looks like a very skewered skull.

Mr. Sathi says something about Memento Mori, and I'm all OH HAY! It's Flyleaf's new album! OMG awesome!

... but it's actually about death and how we all are still mortals and we die anyway no matter how rich/poor you are.

How depressing. I liked the idea of Flyleaf's new album. But Flyleaf's songs are creepy in a way too, but okay whatever dfdsdfsdfsdg.

Skull represents death. That's shit scary you know. You're thinking, hey it's an innocent painting with two smart-looking men looking smart with smart things, and hey what's that? Is that a snowboard? A surfboard maybe?

And when someone tells you it's a skull, your mind is blown.

Here's an example:

First glance: O hay it's just a woman looking into a mirror/vanity that's nice.

Second glance: HOLY FUCKSHIT IT'S A SKULL. Mind blown.

And if you look closely.. That woman is staring into your soul.

In other words... symbolism is creepy. Especially if they're about death and doodads.

Hey, listen!

To people who still are reading this almost-dying blog, I have a Tumblr now! Wooo!

It's probably nicer to read, since there's pictures there. It's a daily-blog-ish blog, so I kinda microblog my daily stuff. This blog will still be updated (not as much), but this is for serious stuff like world peace or something. Obviously, this will be the boring, srs tiem blog, while Tumblr would be more casual + pictures. Okay? Okay.

90210

Is now officially kinda officially act-like-a-bimbo-and-strut-down-a-corridor day!

Geddit? 9/02/10? Beverly Hills Chihuahua 90210!?

If you don't geddit you got something wrong somewhere.

Speaking of bimbos..

Here are 3 bimbos that want to be on this post. *gets beaten up*

Also, pictures have at least something covering their faces because I don't want them to get stalked by pedophiles. See I'm such a caring friend! *hairflip*

First up, Bimbo number 1, Sabrina aka SNN.

This girl, my nerdpal, is also my hyper buddy. We laugh like nerds, and start giggling like mad, and share some retarded inside jokes. Really. Sometimes (actually most of the time) she laughs until her stomach hurts. Must go check with the doctor already!

We're weird. But that makes us awesome. *wink*

'

Bimbo number 2; Sheryl aka Mien/Noodles.

Goes hyper when given the chance. Also a girly girl! But an awesome one.

She's madly in love (she's not lesbian lah she has a boyfriend but she's a #1 fansi) with Taylor Swift. Also my Photography buddy for events, and we belong in a group called I So Oh-some! Ok lame lah but it's funnier in real life I swear.

Finally, bimbo number 3, Vivian aka Dong.

HAHAHA I know it's mean to call her Dong. But she calls me a Dong too, so it's all fair. *winkwink*

My good crazy friend for like, I dunno, 7-8 years already. One year doesn't count because at that moment I was a no-life and didn't like to make friends. We went to KDU together, Tenby, then she's going to move to where I live; but then she's going to a different school, so that ends our follow-here-follow-there moment.

Besides bimbo day, Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year is coming up!

There's gonna be a week's holiday for CNY, and heck, I'm excited. I'm also going to gain a few pounds/kgs, due to the massive amounts of food my dad is going to cook. So it wouldn't be surprising if I became a pig over the holidays. Oink.

Oh, shit, then that means I'd probably be roasted and chopped up and become a huge piece of siew yok (roasted pork). 3 layers of fat, probably, and I'll give everyone colon cancer! I am so wonderful wtf.

Chinese New Year also falls on Valentine's Day. Ironic, because this is the year of the Tiger, and yanno, Tiger Woods? I don't think he'll be celebrating because he's in sex rehab. Poor ol' Tiger. His wife would probably send him a sex doll out of pity, but then he probably can't make use of it because his junk is constrained.

Wait, what the fuck am I talking about?

UHHHH omg I'm spazzing fsdfsdf

BACK TO THE TOPIC NOW.

Valentine's Day, same old. Probably going to stay at home and celebrate CNY, and eat junk food and chocolates. Or go collect angpows from rich aunties and uncles. Retrieve money from angpows = buy chocolates. Damn sad lah, but okay nevermind my cat, Louie, is my Valentine.

But I have to entertain him. Probably have to sayang him until he walks away, like he always does.

FML.

Here is the picture of him (taken in 2008. He is so much fatter now wtf)

Ok lah very lan si looking I know.

And I cannot feed him chocolate. He will probably die. Oh wait, that's dogs. Um, ok bimbo mode.

In other news, I actually drove a car, and learned how to reverse. With the supervision of my dad, of course! Me, Jane Lee, 14 and a half years old, driving a Myvi. Halfway through a Malay kampung. I was giggling the whole way because I was so hyper and nervous, wtf lol. I also didn't hit any poles/trees/people. I feel accomplished.

*accomplished*

Although the car is in Auto mode. Cheating one.

Credits to Sabrina, Sheryl, Soung Xin, and Vivian for inspiration for this blog post. Thanks, ladies!

So, here I am.

Watching the Grammy's, blogging, thinking of what to type.

So, don't get your hopes up; I didn't get the student council position. I'm not complaining either, I'm just glad I tried. *grins like a 'tard*

Chinese New Year is coming up. Angpows are being packed, decorations are being put up.

I'm not buddhist though, or any other religion, I'm a freethinker-slash-atheist. Well, they're technically both the same, but okay lah whatever. I don't really believe in anything; if I die, I'll just die. Just see where I'll go. Or maybe.. reincarnate. *dooooom*

My mom is a supposed buddhist, while my dad's a supposed catholic.

But both of them ended up being atheists. My dad's baptized, but he never really bothered to church. My brother.. he's catholic too, I guess. I think he's baptized. LOL DON'T ASK ME IDK. But I dunno him lah, he doesn't really mention church anymore.

My mom.. well, I'm not so sure about her religious background, but she just tells me that she's an atheist.

My dad did go to church for the first few decades of his life, but after that.. I guess he just didn't bother anymore.

Just like me. Only I wasn't baptized though.

I tried going to Sunday School/church when I was 10 years old.

Still antisocial, so uh, never made any friends, got lazy, discontinued church.

I know it wasn't a good thing to quit Sunday School, yanno - something to believe in, but I just.. didn't bother. So much fail amirite.

And now, my mom is trying to become a catholic. Guess she just wants something to believe in now.

Heck, she even bought a small Mother Mary statuette to put at our house.

To be honest, I think she's going a little bonkers on the head; but I'm kinda proud of her too, wanting to just believe in something, because she really needs something to look up to.

In this case, Mother Mary. Surprisingly, my mom became a better person bit by bit.

She's becoming holy. Holy mom. Holy mama.

I don't know about my dad. He's still.. my dad. Nothing changed. Or maybe his temper did become better after that statuette was placed..

But we still celebrate Chinese New Year.

We're such a religiously rojak family wtf.

2010 is pretty productive so far

Many things had happened. And yeah, I'm really happy.
No, I did not get a boyfriend (FML) but eh more things had happened.

First thing's first, I joined the Student Council. If you're wondering what's a Student Council, it's like a group of students in different year groups to help improve the school or host/create events.
So whoever wanted to join had to write and read a speech; why you want to be a councillor, what would you do to help/contribute to the school, etc etc.

Initially there were only 2 students in my year group who joined. After a wonderful speech made by our deputy principle a day before the elections, a total of 18 students quickly wrote their speeches overnight (including me of course). I think our deputy principle has some kind of magic way of making people feel like shit. So the next day, all of the candidates were freaking out.

Since assembly was the last period, we candidates were all rehearsing and panicking.
In the end, we all got our speeches in front of the Y9's, and heck my legs were shaking. I know I'm a major loser lah ok. But at least I had the guts to actually go up. *grin*
After 18 speeches were done, all students were required to vote for 4 people, by ballots. So it's anonymous. But everyone kept going WHO YOU VOTING FOR WHO YOU VOTING FOR VOTE FOR ME PLZPLZPLZ YOU VOTE FOR ME I VOTE FOR YOU K.

Results are coming out tomorrow, so hey fingers crossed! Even if I might not win, hey it was a thrill (lol nerd talk) and at least I've tried.


I've been busy with schoolwork - surprising for someone like me. I remember the good times where I'd get caned by my mother because I lied about not doing my homework. I swear, I would bawl my eyes out, then never ever want to come out of my room. I couldn't lock my room up as in my old house the lock was broken so no privacy. Anyone could just barge in and see things they don't want to see eg. me sleeping while my drool forms a pool on the ground.

Uh. Why am I talking about locks? And me drooling on the ground WTS.


Baaaack to the topic nao.
Other than school, I went to meet my old friend, Amanda.
She had been one of my good friends since Primary 2, and yeah we used to 'stick' together (tee-hee inside joke).
She went to Australia 2 years ago, and yeah we decided to meet up and hey! We had a pretty retarded time.

I remember the time where we went bowling and my ball rolled backwards. Extremely retarded can.
More memories, but it's reserved for our minds only! Ya know more inside jokes (tee-hee wtf lol)

Also, I learned how to do some basic makeup at Shu Uemura in 1 Utama.
Mom got me a basic makeup set, and the lady taught me (also done the makeup on me + fake eyelashes fml fake eyelashes feel like they're gonna come out fts fts).

My mom wants me to girl up; and yeah wants me to learn makeup so I can hide my horrible future crow's feet and wrinkles.
I know 14 (going on 15) is a little late age for girling up, since I should've been drawing makeup on my face when I was 8, but that never happened. I was pretty much a man when I was little.
A very fat little kid man HAHAH NICOLE KID MAN OMG I'M SO FUNNY not really.

UHHHHH OKAY. I'm getting hyper/lame/retarded.


Um, to sum this post up; pretty much I've been more active in school.
I'm.. having a life; even if I keep using the computer everyday loh fail.
