Where were you while we were getting high?

Champagne Supernova by Oasis

Isn't it weird how Noel Gallagher left his band (Not that I really care about Oasis)? But it really astounds me at how they endured such a long time, recording and writing together when they hated each other's guts so much. That's a somewhat strange relationship that they maintained there and I guess, it all got too much when Noel ultimately left the band.

I received my exam timetable today and I guess I am pretty satisfied with the exam allocations. I get a 4 day weekend! Excellent and well suited to my needs. I can study some more over that weekend and hopefully, absorb all the relevant information I need to remember.

Monday 14/9: English Advanced
Tuesday 15/9: Mathematics
Wednesday 16/9: Chemistry
Monday 21/9: Maths Ext 1
Physics
Tuesday 22/9: Legal Studies

A pretty hectic timetable methinks. Especially on the 21st. Gosh! Ext 1 and Physics coupled up together. That's bloody brilliant innit?

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.

New Slang by The Shins

I haven't been feeling too well lately, both physically and mentally. The sudden change in weather, with the strong gusts of wind and fluctuating weather has left me feeling rather sick. I'm guessing we're heading into spring, so pollen and dust is everywhere, irritating my nose and making me exhibit all the classic symptoms of hayfever. I look and feel like a mess. My skin is dry, my lips are chapped and my eyes watery. I wake up every morning looking as if I came out of a tornado or something but its simply that I am just allergic to bloody pollen.

Argh. Exams are coming up in about 2 weeks or so and I feel as if I am running out of time. In preparation for the exams, I'm going to terminate all forms of online communication. Yep, that includes facebook, msn, tumblr, twitter and even email. Facebook is such a huge distraction to everything that I do. Once I am on there, I can be stuck on there for a longgg period of time. Therefore, in order to maximise study time and achieve high marks in the yearlies, goodbye facebook for a long time. I shall miss you but its for the best anyway. I'll see you after my yearlies.

American Beauty

Lester Burnham:
'...but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...'

Let down and hanging around- Let Down by Radiohead

I make it sound as if I am going through a mid life crisis or something worse than the end of the world, but to me, education is an important aspect. Gosh, I sound like an Asian parent but nevertheless...

I feel as though I have fallen to an all time low and there will be no other person, other than myself who will be willing to pick myself back up. As much as I appreciate the kind yet somewhat frank and upfront words from those who listen or not listen, they aren't the ones who will help me get back up. I will and I am going to be the one who'll be picking myself up from the mess I have created myself. I regret not listening to myself, my own heart who knows best of what subjects and things I enjoy and achieve the most in. Instead, I chose something I do not enjoy and obviously dread learning about. It's way too late to change my mistakes and the only rational and logical thing that I can do is to cope with it and try my best.

Do you think that with positive thinking, motivation and energy, that I will be able to conquer my fear? I certainly hope so.

Return of the Paulie Banksy



Sexy, sexy Paul Banks. Mmm.

See how I stun - Pace is the Trick by Interpol.

Remember those days when all I ever ranted about was either how good looking Paul Banks was or how wonderful Interpol's music sounded? That was me in the years 2007 + 2008. Yep, I was a massive Interpol fan back in the day and their concert at the Hordern Pavilion, made me a fan for life. But there was always the downside, I simply overplayed their music and got pretty sick of them by 2009 by which, I was able to go through periods of not even listening to a single track by them. I only listen to them sporadically nowadays and I wish I hadn't overplayed them. I don't feel the same awe when I listen to their music now...though I still enjoy it very much. Haha, I can still remember that day when I first heard 'Pioneer to the Falls'...I was sitting in my room, playing their vid on youtube over and over again. I couldn't dam get enough of it and when the day came for me to be able to purchase their album, I was more than delighted.

Interpol shall be releasing their forth album soon, according to an official update on their website. I can hardly contain my excitement and am hoping that with this new album that they'll release sometime in the near future, I will resume my position as an avid die hard Interpol fan.

4.8.09

You're a zero!

Because I have succumbed to the temptations of procrastination, I shall be making a list...On what. I guess, a list concerning things about me....
  1. I hate having my hair fall out. I'm not concerned about balding or hair scalp problems but I'm just concerned about the DNA I'm leaving behind where ever I go! I feel as though I'm giving away who I am to the world.
  2. My astrological horoscope is Cancer the crab, hard on the outside, soft on the inside. That's precisely me, I guess I can seem to be tough but inside, I'm all soft and helpless.
  3. I'm jealous of a lot of people's relationships with their cousins. I never really had any deep connections with my cousins (except for maybe 1) but nevertheless, the lack of such relationships in my life makes me sad.
  4. I used to be overly materialistic in year 9. Fashion, supposed 'indie' music, attractive good looking people, smoking seeming cool and such were all that occupied my mind. I had a major 'breakdown' at the end of year 9, realising that such perceptions of the world were so narrow-minded and morally low. I've moved away from being that person I hated being. I guess I still like that stuff (except for smoking), but they're not the only things that matter in my life anymore.
  5. I can still recall the first epiphany I experienced...precisely when I was 5 years old. I remember asking my dad, 'Why do we have to go to school when all of us suffer the same fate, death?' (maybe not using those words but nevertheless). I guess I kinda astounded my father by asking such an introspective question.
  6. I like the pain inflicted upon me by needles but I don't like it to the extent that I go slice my arms. No, I just like it whenever I get an injection I guess. The pain is soothing. Gosh, I sound so emo, but I swear I'm not! I just don't really view the 'pain' as actual pain. (If that makes any sense)
  7. Contrary to what many people think, I can actually lie very well and I bloody well mean it. I guess I cannot lie for trivial matters i.e. hiding a friend's bag somewhere or rather, but I can lie when its absolutely necessary. And I get away with it most of the time XD
To be continued when my brain allows me to think of more things about myself. I kinda hate doing these about-mes cause they inflate your ego to unimaginable levels...however, I guess this time is different. Self discovery I'm guessing.
