I think I might have miscalculated something.

That is, I think I've made a slight error in judgement on Dawn. Yeah, she's hard to figure out. Still waters run deep indeed, and not many run as deep as that one.

She's a good listener, truth to be told. She listened to me blabber on about my theories after all. Yeah, Kewei isn't the only one with messed up theories, I do too. Except Dawn says that mine makes more sense, but that she doesn't believe in them very much since it's in conflict with her religion. Haha I respect that, at least she bothered to hear me out. ^__^

I told her some stuff that I haven't told anyone before. Well I have hinted around the edges of it with Kanaii, but never acutally outright said it out. The conversation was sort of like this:

 
Me: You are a good girl Dawn. Good student, good behaviour...

Dawn: But it's so boring being a good girl...I'm in a difficult situation...I can't be good all the time...

Me: Yeah it might be boring, but at least it's safe. God knows the world needs more of people like you and less of the irresponsible troublemakers like me. It may be boring, but at least the world would be a better place...

{silence ensues for a while}

 
Yeah that was about it. A snatch of conversation. We had these periodical silences between the two of us when we walked together. It's like, we lapse into a comfortable sort of silence. It wasn't that awkward, the conversation simply tapers off and pauses for a while. Until either one of us starts it up again. And no, I'm not the only one starting up the conversations, she does too. Did you know that she eats chocolates as a way to release her anger as well as her sadness? I was like all O______o, then LOL. We were laughing like a pair of nutcases for a while.

Isn't it hard for you guys to imagine Dawn laughing like a hyena? Or actually drop that cold exterior for more than 10 seconds? Well Chengwei might have seen that before. Remember how Dawn accused you of peeping at her, Chengwei? That was one of the most goddamn funny arguments I've seen. ^___^ 

Well, I suppose I should get my butt off the chair and get to dinner. I'm hungry! Or I always am...most of the time. ^___^

Hmm.

Today Miss Leong (not the white haired one, and not the on sugar high one), my english teacher, brought us out on another movie trip! She rocks!

We watched I,Robot. It was cool. So as not to reveal spoilers, I will refrain from commenting. :P But I can tell you that while the ideas explored there are not new, they certainly do inspire some thought.

Anyway, after the movie, I went home. Well actually me and Kewei took the ssame bus home. After all we do live one bus stop away from each other. Lol. That makes 2 classmates within walking distance of my house, Xiang Xin being the other one. The horror. Lol.

But back to the point. Well if there is a point. But anyone who's been reading this regularly should be able to sense that I have a point to make in this post. If you didn't know that, well, you do now. :P

We talked. Kewei and I. He really is quite intelligent. Eccentric definitely, but intelligent anyway. The eccentric tendencies are probably an outgrowth of his intelligence. After all, I quote something I said some time ago: "Genius is intelligence recognised, insanity is intelligence buried and twisted." That summarises it I guess.

Not to say Kewei is insane. Sure, he may act all weird and stuff sometimes, but it's just that, an act. He isn't afraid to express himself, something I respect. I can't do that, I just can't seem to express myself that way. Too shy maybe.

But anyway. We were talking. And I guess I found another person who doesn't go "huh??" at every other sentence I say. That makes 4 of them so far, the other 3 being Dawn, Chengwei and Kanaii. Erika doesn't count, since she still doesn't quite understand me on that level. We''re good friends, but there's just something separating my deeper and more philosophical self from her. Perhaps its because when we talk, she's the one doing most of the talking. I have nothing much to say usually.

And maybe Dawn shouldn't be properly included in that list. She should be classified under "Intelligent enough to catch what I say, but doesn't really understand the other me". That's right, Chengwei, Kewei, and Kanaii made it into the exclusive group. Congratulations.

Anyway I think I'm straying from my point. What the heck was my point? *thinks* Crap, I think I mostly forgot what I was trying to say. Damn. I should never go off on tangents like that.

Oh well, I'll continue with what I do remember. I've always been of the opinion that people are not what they seem, and we shouldn't make hasty judgements based on outward impressions. But try as I might, I still can't completely eradicate that instinctive response to classify people under specific categories in my mind. Based on how I interact with them, and how I observe them interacting with others, and what I hear others say about them, I make a mental sketch of the person. Everyone does that. So I guess it's a normal reaction. That's where the "first impressions do count" saying comes from.

But more often than not, I've found that initial assessments made without any close personal interaction with someone are usually wrong, or slightly inaccurate. Sometimes I get it right, but those are few and far between. Not that many people are actually who we think they are.

So I resolved to keep an open mind on such matters. Prejudice clouds matters. So I've been trying to look at things more clinically and dissect it with a cold rationality. Well I try my best to keep personal feelings out of it, but sometimes personal grudges do get in the way. I try my best though.

That's why I look upon with some contempt the people who keep saying Kewei is crazy and ought to be shot. Yeah Kewei, some people actually said that about you. I'm sorry that  didn't say anything against that, but it's kinda hard to break into closed minds. I'm sure you understand what I mean. Some people's prejudices are locked in stone.

That's one thing I hate, you know. Small minds. Closed minds. Minds that can only comprehend the 'now', and jump quickly from inception to conclusion. Minds like that should be banned.  Yeah I'm prejudiced. Against small minds. I never said I was perfect. I do have some prejudices after all. I am human...I think.

Anyway, I was inspired after that conversation with Kewei. Inspired to write a short story. A one-shot. A bit pointless, since there isn't going to be an end to that story. I mean, no proper ending. After all, life never ends, it just keeps going on and on, even after you, me and everyone we know are dead. Cos there will be other living things to go on living, so life goes on. And this is a story of life, an excerpt from life. Our life.

I should go ask Kewei if he minds me writing that story. Anyway I WILL write it, whether he minds or not, but if he does mind, then I won't publish it online. But if he oks it, I will. After all he will be one of the characters in the story. One of at least 3 main characters. All my classmates will play supporting roles. And of course I will change the names. Duh.

I hope I can do it right. The story I mean. I hope I don't characterise it wrongly. I hope it doesn't fall flat on me. Writig about real life is hard. Especially if you know the people involved. Oh well, I guess I can give it a shot...

Well anyway I need dinner. Cya!

Yo!

Been a while hasn't it?

Today's been a strange day. Two strange encounters.

Well, before I start on that, Queensway beat Bowen Sec 3-0 at girls' soccer! Woot!

It was so frigging funny watching the match. Yes I watched the match. Well it just so happened that we finished group study at around halftime for them. ^__^

I didn't see the first goal, since it was scored in the first half, but I sure saw the next two! Long shots, both of them. The defending on both sides is appalling, but seriously hilarious. You have to be there to see it for yourself. :D

Anyway after that I went home. On the bus 196. And then it crashed. Well not really crashed. It banged into the back of a lorry at a road junction, severely denting the lorry's back and smashing the right taillights. The mirror on the left side of the bus just flew off on impact.

We had to get off, but the driver gave us a free ticket. Cool huh? Lol. It was troublesome though. I've never been in any road accident of any kind before. This is sorta a new experience. Oh well at least no one got hurt. That's the main thing.

Ok now for the 2nd weird encounter of the day. As I got off the bus at my stop, this lady came up to me with a desperate look on her face and asked me if I could spare her $1.90 in spare change so she could take a bus to Tampines. Well I was feeling charitable, so I did. And then she asked for my phone number so she could contact me to return the favor one day. Personally I don't care if she would return the $1.90, I don't need anything in return for helping someone. But still...I can't help but feel that something's gonna happen cos of this. Instinct. I trust my instinct.

Ok anyway I'd better go now. Life has been just as boring since my last post. I've been just as  moody and unpredictable, and mightily irresponsible. I found that steady work gives me something to focus on instead of mood swings. Lol. But mood swings are fun! Right...

Later then!

Haha I'm at school now. ^__^

Very boliao. Some sites blocked. Like Fanfiction.net. Damnit lol. ^__^

Had a crazy convo with the rest last night. By the rest I mean the guys and gals from BJ forums. They're crazy, all of them. Of course I'm no better either. ^___~

Well it was fun. Knowing new people. Haha. We're nuts, all of us. That we are, that we are. Ok I'm running outta things to say. Lol I'm pathetic. :D

As you can see, I finally got rid of the bg music and finally put in a bg music player instead. Now you can pick what songs you want to listen to. :P

Many thanks to Johnny Wu for providing me the javascript for the player. ^__^  Isn't it spiffy? ^___^

Ok, anyone suggest what other songs should I put up there? I need ideas. And I need web space. I'm a little lazy to go and create like 10 more angelfire websites just to store my mp3s to stream here. ^__^ Oh well for the english songs I can always go leech the links from other sides. And the anime songs too. Ehehehehe.

Okie dokie, time to go trawl the net for Initial D mp3s! Hasta la vista!

I haven't been posting in a while I see. Oh well. I've been lazy. Heh.

Anyway I've been doing ok. What else? My life is always the same, a gray monotone overset by a shadeless tedium.

I've been listening to Britney Spears' Every Time. It's a suitably sad song. Although the mv was like...doh. I mean, suicide? Haha.

Anyway here's the lyrics, I found it really nice to sing along since I could feel the emotions better....

Britney Spears - Every Time

Come notice me
And take my hand

So why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way

I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry

Ohhhh

At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

After all...


 
It's a really sad song. Sigh. Oh well. I love the part where it goes "And everytime I try to fly, I fall without my wings, I feel so small..." It's just so touching and real somehow. Heh.

Ok it's dinner time, I'll be back...eventually. ^___~

Hey hey! I'm currently logged on at my school computer. Teehee.

We're typing in chinese now. Yeah, it sucks. Lol. Actually it's not that bad, I've done it before after all. The major problem I have with it is that its much too slow. Hehe.

ALright, I'm kinda sorry that I haven't been updating very much here. School and other things have been distracting me from posting. ^___^

Alright alright, I guess I should end here in a very short post. I'll post more when I get home. That's if I remember that is. Hehe.

Adios amigos! ^__~

I have been neglecting this for a while, haven't I?

Oh well. Anyway here's a brief update on my otherwise boring life.

1) My cousin's been trying to teach me javascript and html. Needless to say, I still suck at it.
2) First week of school has been uneventful so far. And I mean uneventful by MY standards. Try figuring that out. :P
3) Watched Spiderman 2 last night on my own. Blah. It was a good movie though. And I beat Testament at GGX! But I lost to Dizzy. DANG.
4) BoA's 4th is still not out, and I'm on the verge of wanting to murder the HMV people.
5) My dad's beginning to renege on his promises that he wouldn't neglect me in the event that he has a girlfriend. For example, he promised to go out with me yesterday on a sort of a family outing, but he backed out of it last minute and shoved about 20 bucks in my face and told me to go out on my own. How fun.
6) My "Compilation of Poems", which I posted up at solid07's Fanfic Heaven, earned me another karma. Woot. Thankies mashi mashi xp! ^___^

Erm ya, that's about it...oh wait!

There's a QSS forum. Did I mention it before? My memory seems to be failing. Is it possible to get Alzhemier's (however you spell it) at my age? Oh well it doesn't matter. Forgetfulness means I'm still human. ^__^

Anyway. I'm a mod there! On Music and E-Lifestyle. Things that I'm actually interested in. ^__^ And I found out that I'm not the only BoA supplicant in QSS. Joy! :D

Turns out Udaya likes BoA too, and even Cappy listens to BoA sometimes. And here I thought no one else liked her. I am SUCH a dolt. Lolz.

Oh yeah, and I found that I really liked Happy Tree Friends. Yep, that sadistic cartoon violence website. I just love how the blood kept getting spurted, brains being spilled out, and eyeballs popping (literally) from their sockets. I was laughing like a nut when Petunia got chomped by a shark. :D

I think I ran out of things to say. Hmm. After lunch today, I'm gonna take a shower, then hop down to HMV again. Hopefully they have something new there. :D And I'm considering buying SM Town's 2004 summer album. But that's only if I have enough left after buying BoA's 4th and her L&H concert vcd. Lol. ^__^

Okies time to sign off here and go do something else!
