Neiling in on Insanity

Last post of the year and what do I have got to say? I've finally succumbed to the dreamy side of things, real bad. I bought myself Neil Gaiman's The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes for x'mas, ensuring myself that I only bought it because I wanted to know what the hype is all about and I'll never buy a second one. Yeah right. Here I am in my fourth in no time at all after reading the first one 3 times in a row. It just grabs you, the story I meant. In fact, I got my Kino card all for that and finally got myself the graphic version of my most beloved Stardust, 170 beautiful pages of graphics and prose, lacking only his royal signature, which I held dear in my paperback copy. Once upon a 10 years ago, my literary world was Robert Jordan, Tad Williams. Today, I'm abandoning Tad Williams' Shadow March, a book airen bought me for x'mas for the Morpheus' dreamworld. On last count, I think I might have about 12 of his works of literary arts on hand - two of which are signed so give yourself a pat on the back Mr Smurfie and I dedicate his character from Sandman, Mervyn pumpkin head to you. I had a dream of Dream and of Death last night. Airen says I've been reading too much, too many. I supposed he is right. Time to take a little break from his worlds and take a little purity test in which I'm 10% more pure than the average, much better than I hope really.

Your 100 Point Purity Test Results You answered "yes" to 24 of 100 questions, making you 76.0% Gaiman pure (24.0% Gaiman corrupt); that is, you are 76.0% pure in the Gaiman domain. Your Weirdness Factor (AKA Uniqueness Factor) is 13%, based on a comparison of your test results with 13111 other submissions for this test. The average purity for this test is 66.1%. The first submission for this test was received November 2, 1999.

You are American Gods! You are mysterious, intelligent, and creative. To the rest of the world you may seem a little standoffish, but really youre just a quiet person. Youre sort of bookish and are intrigued by mythology and fairy tales. You might be Wiccan or Pagan, either that or youre unreligious. You have a sarcastic sense of humor and are the kind of person people like to talk to because youre such a good listener. *~Which Neil Gaiman book are you?~*

His books are THAT intriguing. Ask me for them if you're interested. My library is always open, as with my other books. Just follow the rules of keeping them in as is condition and returning them when you're done - it's ok if you do take a long, just don't lose them. And of coz, I'm American Gods too. Sunken deep into the Gaiman poison and waiting for the normal paperback versions of Anansi Boys. I probably need a good night's sleep.

Merry X'mas

Woke up this morning from seeming the wrong side of the bed, though there can only be one side ever. I'm depressed. I'm drenched deep into jealousy. Petty little things. Matters much to me nonetheless. I guess I'll need a slightly bit more time to get back into things, especially on this sunny christmas afternoon. Merry X'mas anyway.

King Kong

Went to watch King Kong yesterday. Not that I really wish to watch it but then it's x'mas and when your boyfriend has been dying to watch the oversized ape for no apparent reason and nobody's interested, you obliged. The director of King Kong, he keeps repeating, is Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings so it had to be good. I was skeptical. After all what can one expect of a movie about an oversized ape in "love" - I filched at the word - with a blonde from where else but US of A? I recalled in the once upon a time when I was still a kid, scenes of a huge mass of black ball climbing a skyscraper, battling helicopters. That was all I knew of it. Spoilers ahead. Skip it completely if you still wanna watch it. I went in without much anticipation. In fact I was debating over watching Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and chose the monkey instead coz it's 3 long hours of computer graphics AND human and of coz Peter Jackson - and 2 hours too long. Hey! A movie ticket costs a big bomb alright? I'll watch the Were-Rabbits on TV next time. Since it's a Peter Jackson film - notice that I kept mentioning his name? - I felt that it should have been a trilogy instead of the 3 hour long movie that King Kong was. I dislike 3 hour long movies and in my personal opinion, directors like Peter Jackson have simply no respect for the bladder - I missed the last part of Return of the King, sitting in the middle of Lido with no burgers in hand at 3am waiting for the crowd to finish it coz I had to visit the loo and this time round, in the middle of King Kong though I didn't miss much. The Trilogy Chronicles of King Kong, The Lady, The Fat Guy and The Escape, partly directed by James Cameron of the Titanic fame, would have been the first of the three. The first part of the movie focuses only on the human and how they finally embark on this terrible journey that would bring about the death of this huge monkey in a distanced land. The second would have been called, The Island - erm...name already taken? - partly directed by Steven Spielberg would bring the dinos of Jurassic Park back to life again. Complete with gigantic roaches that'll give baygone a run for their money. The final installment in the trilogy, Episode III, The Revenge of the Ape, would be partly directed by George Lucas who is helping Jackson - Peter, not Michael - planning on prequels for this trilogy, which would tell the love story of the ape's parents and his prophesized birth - or was that his dad? Finally, Naomi Watts got my award for the heroine with the most camera time and the least number of lines in a 3 hour blockbuster movie. Unless of coz ah...eh...oh...no...arg...are considered the lines she needed to memorized. Of coz, not all is lost. Watch it for the non stop action, the not so realistic background that is a 100 times less obvious than Narnia, for X'Mas and if you've got money to spare. Lastly, Merry X'Mas to all.

Big Boos Boos

*SIGHS* What more can I say? I deleted my sms invite to Ministry of Sound's official opening for tonight! In the midst of clearing my old smses and messaging friends to tag along for the wild night, I marked it blindly with my W550i and there goes plans for the night! Alright, not exactly. I wasn't really planning to go. More like looking forward to a night in, drinking boiled water, listening to this credit card advertisment going on and on again about the 12 days of christmas. BUT, it's the invite to the latest and most IN club in town. What the hell was I doing???? More true life boos boos about the club. "Eddy": luckily you spelt it as MoS. I thought you meant mos at first then wonder what's the big deal about the opening of mos? Eat free burgers ah? A friend of my friend: What's MoS? A new ministry? Ministry of erm...State? Airen: I thought you meant mos burger also!

All Out Just To Prove A Point

The picture on the top is my sis's Microsoft Starck Mouse, bought on the same day as mine - it was a one for one deal and the first time I've ever had a branded mouse. The one on the bottom is of coz the one I've been bitching about. Creations courtesy from my niece.

The pictures have not been photoshoped.

Have been listening to May Day's compilation for the past few hours. I don't usually listen to them. In fact, I never listen to them. Just had the urge to purchase their CD and now I can't get this off my head. 我的聲音在笑 淚在飆 電話那頭的你可知道 世界若是 那麼大 為何我要忘記你 無處逃 我的聲音在笑 淚在飆 電話那頭的你可知道 世界若是 那麼小 為何我的真心 你聽不到

Lessons Learnt

Lessons learnt today. Number 1. Never lend your laptop to anybody for the sake of demo/training etc, especially if it's new. I felt my heart drop and every single bit of torment my baby is feeling when the gal from jobsdb borrowed it for her training this morning. Each time her fingers bang hard on the keys, I felt my heart skip an extra beat while I stared intently at her manicured fingers and praying that they'll not scar my baby's brand new layer. Airen told me the 2 things went through his mind during the training just now. 1. I must have felt the pain real bad when she slam her fingers on the keys. 2. Thank goodness, it wasn't his. Number 2. Never trust the advertisements you see on magazines where they state statistics such as 75% of the women tested felt an improvement in skin texture after n days blah blah, results from test on n number of women. I repeat. Never trust it. The reason is simple. I'm currently testing an eye product - of brand name I'm not supposed to disclose - with my sis. Today is the 7th day of our test and we're supposed to answer this online survey of theirs. First, we were so excited, we almost reminded each other each day to use it. Then, we tried all means and ways to try to feel the difference. Finally, we anyhow, anyhow answer the questions in the survey, so as to be politically correct because we simply do not know howda answer them. We didn't notice any difference, except for the foul smell and the watery texture. It's supposed to solve dark cycle problems? Oh? I hadn't known but I chose the answer that seems to imply yes. Such big liar. Just like many other product testing women I'm sure.

She Needs a Name

Hi People! See this cute little lamb? She needs a name. Please find it in your heart to help this poor lamb and get her named. I'm running out of sheep names. I used to have a "Lamp Chop" and I now have a "Sheepish" who was last seen hanging out with Siong Siong. Oh yah and Tashes has a "baabaa" so that's out too. Name needed desperately. I can't be calling her nothing at all while she stares at me with those cute soulful eyes. So please, when you're feeling slight bit more creative - and hopefully not eating an sheep/lamb/goat at the moment - think about her, think of a name for her. Donations not exactly required, though could be arranged :) Thank You.

My New Baby, the Non Crying Type

Sorry to friends, who had screamed "WHAT? You bought it?? Why didn't you blog about it? Why were we not told sooner?" and anyway, this is for you. Yes, after that regretful day plus night at Sitex last Sunday, I finally got myself a laptop - notebook whatever you wish to call it - from Harvey Norman on Monday. I wasn't even aware of its appearance till the next morning coz I wasn't there at its purchase. Whatever it is, I'm at last the proud owner of this 2.5KG Acer Aspire. 2.5KG isn't really THAT portable, yes of coz I'm fully aware of it but a person as clumsy as I am, I should take that weight. The tiny spot at the top left hand corner is my laptop light. I bought it for the sole purpose of putting my mum's "electrical bills are up the sky this month again!!" cries a little more quiet. The only pity thing is that my handphone's camera isn't as good as I hope it might be, judging at this picture :( Don't go all "You're so rich" thingy and such coz I am not. Seriously, am not. My handphone was a luxury , which I know went abit too far. Afterall, apart from having a good camera - maybe not - good games, walkman and a cool design to boot, I'm not really using much of the basic phone functions. I don't get that many phone calls each month. On the other hand, this 2.5KG baby hasn't even cost me a thing yet. I'm paying it by interest free installments over a period of 24 months. The best thing about this baby is that I'm finally able to make full use of my wireless network and also it does not cry nor need diapers. Wired or not, I've not really had the chance to use it since my elder niece is forever hogging it from morning till night :( She dirtied my favorite Stack Mouse, turned it from silver to mostly black and left thick traces of dirt on my keyboard leaving me mostly disgusted and not daring to use the PC :( So, humor me a little when you see me online with that little tag saying "Hi from a new laptop". I'm really saying hi in my own way from it and yes, I'm finally online!!
