Gone 2 weeks

It’s been a long time since I last blogged and that’s because I’ve been pretty busy and also because Blackbitch isn’t always with me anymore. Now Blackbitch goes to Timmy during the weekdays and it comes back to me during the weekends, like how a child gets shoved around between father and mother during from weekdays to weekends because they aren’t together anymore.

Anyway, the last 2 weeks have been crazy. There’s just too much to say but simply put, I’ve learnt to appreciate many small things that we’d normally take for granted. Like imagine having no music, no shows to watch, no news for 2 weeks; it’s horrible to say the least.

But over those 2 weeks, I’ve learnt to shut my brain off and play songs in my head which is such a necessity if you’re in my position.

Christmas comes early!

I got my first Christmas present today and it's all thanks to sean mummy. She paid a part of it and I paid for the rest and the best part was that it was on 30% discount so I didn't see why I had to hesitate. But I did make a promise to myself not to buy it if it wasn't comfortable.

Yup, my first and I'm assuming best Christmas present this year. I'm seriously hoping that this will be a good investment.

Cherry stem knot

I was out shopping with Julia today and later on Ben came to join us and we had an early dinner to avoid competing with the rest of town for seats at a decent restaurant.

I noticed that I've been telling Julia to buy a lot of stuff - mainly stuff that she wants - so I'm starting to see myself as the devil that tells her to spend but I end up contributing to the economy indirectly so I guess I'm still doing a good thing huh?

We headed to Thomson shortly after to have ice cream with a few others at one of those late night cafes where I tried to tie knots with the stem of the cherries that came with the ice cream. The first attempt wasn't too good and I gave up and decided to eat my dessert since it was already melting. However, my second attempt wasn't too bad although it took quite a while but I'm pretty sure that practise makes perfect.

Busy with Christmas

I've been extremely busy lately which explains the lack of updates. Basically, I'm just trying to rush my production of Christmas cards in time for Christmas. You really can't blame me for being popular...

But don't expect any presents from me this Christmas. I'm eyeing a pair of D&G shoes that retails at $429 and an AX jacket that's $369. Pray to God that some kind soul would get me that this Christmas.

But I've done the usual and asked Sean Mummy for a Bentley for Christmas. Truth be told, I'm not even expecting the model.

Jusses is born?

I was out with my stud muffins just now. We caught Quantom of Solace, and it's a perfect movie for wasting money, and we walked around town after that. So we were walking around Kinokuniya and we saw a rather interesting pencil.

Effing good news!!!!!!

I just received effing good news!!!!!! I just found out that The Prodigy are FINALLY done recording their 5th studio album. It was supposed to be done like a year ago but it was delayed numerou times UNTIL NOW.

Invaders Must Die contains 11 tracks and will be out March 2 but I'm guessing that it'll take a while for it to get to this small island. I seriously can't wait for it! Too bad I won't be able to get it as a Christmas present this year. But who cares? All I can be bothered about now is getting to listen to those 11 tracks in March.

Interesting kiddy ride

After mass today, I headed over to one of the usual spots with my parents for lunch. After lunch they went to get groceries while I chose to walk around. And then this kiddy ride got my attention.

Photobucket

The kiddy ride is shaped like an ambulance so the kids will be riding in the front and the bear in the picture will be at the back, implying that there's someting wrong with the bear. I'm not too sure but I'm guessing the bear had an overdose of viagra or it needs to shift its wang to the centre pronto.

Congrats

I just wanna say congrats to Armin van Buuren who was voted no.1 DJ for the second time in a row. Tiesto and Paul van Dyk were 2nd and 3rd respectively. I just think they all deserve it.

Beyoncé's an 'actor'

Looks like I have been given the oh-so-honourable task of editing Diva's report again. And as usual, I'm pulling my hair out and bashing my brains in just to figure out what he's trying to say half the time.

But I read one very interesting thing in his report when I was nearing the end of it. He has taken Beyoncé as his muse and under occupataion he wrote "singer and actor". I always knew she was a man...

Anyway, I'm running out of brain power and I have to save some reserves to continue with editing of his stupid report tomorrow. I really need rest now.

And Diva, you gotta start paying me for my help. I'll start by charging you a dollar a word for your 6000 word report.

Time is running out

It has been decided and my time is almost up. I'm just praying that I'll get through it. People, let's do whatever we have to do quick and before my time runs out.

Tai Lung's dead cool...

I've been thinking a lot about this scene in Kung Fu Panda recently 'cause I think it's so cool how Tai Lung escaped. Tai Lung's cool man...

Happy Birthday Eugene!

I absolutely can’t believe how today went. I’m so happy everything went well although it wasn’t exactly according to plan; everything went well so I can’t grumble!

Basically we threw a surprise party for Stud Muffin aka Eugene and I was the party planner so for the last couple of days I was something like a crazy bitch on her period who gave orders to everybody regarding what to do, where to meet, etc, etc.

So everything went according to plan at first – meeting secretly, having dinner, buying cake(s), making the card – but things started to get a little complicating when we had to head over to Stud Muffin’s place.

The initial plan was that Eddy would call me once he had successfully forced his brother to shower after coming back from shopping for soccer boots. While Stud Muffin’s in the toilet, we’ll sneak in, prepare everything and then SURPRISE! But somehow, that didn’t happen and they ended up at Macs at J8 instead. Pretty dangerous because we were all loitering outside 7-11 and I don’t know how but they didn’t bump into us.

So we headed to the block next to theirs to hide and soon after, Eddy came to collect us and then the whole preparation began – outside their home, at the stairwell. I was just hoping the candles wouldn’t have melted by the time we got to their door and thank God it didn’t.

Everything went really well but too bad his “one and only” couldn’t make it. And there’re no pictures because I didn’t take any.

Stupid bird bird!

Yesterday's been a terribly busy day for me. First a stupid bird woke me up because it couldn't shut up. Then I had my breakfast followed by 2 rounds of diarrhoea. I tried to make a birthday card for Nick but then it failed because I had things on my mind and my stomach was terrible.

Met up with my bitches for lunch at Emma’s place and we had our usual rounds of bridge. His poor mum’s got her leg to nurse so she couldn’t cook us an awesome lunch which meant calling in KFC. It seemed like the only choice for us because I was absolutely objective to ordering something really good (and potentially expensive) since I was having the runs.

Headed straight to J8 after that to meet up with the rest for Nick’s party where I was pretty stoned because the lack of sleep was getting to me and it’s all thanks to that stupid bird.

Anyway, the music video for Britney’s Womanizer is out but embedding the video has been disabled and I respect that so I’ll just leave you with the link. It’s already been viewed over a million times and it’s been up for only a day. That’s amazing.

What's your name?

Timmy sent me this picture yesterday. I couldn't stop laughing at his name but then again, I think it's quite a pretty cool name. He's probably like the only person in the world who can really mean "I am Batman".

Photobucket


Some of you might not know or you're just too stupid to realise that I hate my Chinese name and I'm always telling myself that a name like "Chap Choi Tong" than whatever I've been named. Some people might feel the same as I do, I don't know, but whatever it is, be happy your name's not Wankoff.

Dirty Sexy Money!

I just want to say that I’m so glad Dirty Sexy Money is back after such a long wait. Season 1 ended pretty abruptly – I’m guessing it’s because of the writers’ strike – but season 2 continues the story pretty well and I have to say that the first episode was AWESOME to say the least, especially the twist at the end.

If you’ve got no idea what Dirty Sexy Money is about, just go watch the show because it’s worth your time. Who needs trash like Heroes or Ugly Betty when you’ve got such a great show like that? What I love most about it is that it’s so scandalous and how they’re always trying to cover up things and all the politics involved. Yes, family politics is always fun... until you become victim to it.

But I think what really attracts me would be the fact that it reminds me a lot of a personal project that I never got to complete but this is far better than that.

Oh and, Haney, I started watching Gossip Girl. My opinion: it’s an ok show, ok enough to keep you watching but nothing really makes me to OMG, you know. And also, I don’t understand why every girl (not on the show) is going crazy over Chace Crawford. I think he just looks ok, nothing amazing.

xo xo <-- I just had to do that!

Sloth monster!

For the last couple of days I’ve been really pigging out, doing nothing much. Aside from yesterday, I’ve been taking something like 14 hour sleeps everyday; yesterday I had only 3 hours of sleep due to some family drama.

So I’m just really glad that last week’s over because I was so busy with helping a couple of friends with their projects. I had to help Diva with the writing of his report and I also had to help another friend with her filming and I must say that filming’s really tedious. You have to decide the camera angle, settle the lighting, position your actors, adjust the mic and then when you’re filming, actors have to deliver their lines, portray the right emotions, there mustn’t be any unnecessary noises, the mic must not appear on film, etc.

I just think that after last week, I deserve every minute of sleep I’m giving myself though I always wake up with a tint of guilt that I could have awoken in the morning and went for a run since I’m absolutely free and I’m sure it’d do my ass some good as well but then again, I don’t think I’d get much done by myself.

Anyway, Britney’s latest single ‘Womanizer’ is below. I got a good feeling it’s not out yet and I’ve no idea how it leaked out. But I think I much prefer ‘Mannequin’ to this but it’s slowly growing on to me.



And most importantly,HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH!

You make me want to kill myself

Despite the fact that I'm having my vacation now, I've been pretty damn busy the past week all thanks to Diva. He has given me the not so honourable task of editing his reports and trust me, you wouldn’t want to be in my shoes.

Anyone might think that editing a report is a simple task but wait until you read Diva’s writings. I don’t want to be mean but it makes you wonder what happened to his 11 years of being educated in English. The last time I edited his report, I nearly killed myself because it was so bad; random paragraphing, incomplete sentences, sentences that don’t make sense at all, punctuation problems, grammar problems, vocab problems, etc.

Despite all the agony I go through editing his works, I’m not going to give up but that’s because I can’t. I’m not the kind of person who goes back on his word so I’m in this until the end. However, if I do kill myself in the near future, you know who to blame.

And Diva, I just want to say GO READ SOME FUCKING GOOD BOOKS!

I got deflowered

I met up with my "entourage" at Bimbo Shitty this afternoon for lunch and Emma taught us how to play bridge when we were done. We were kindda hogging the table at the restaurant but we still had your fries to go and there were other empty tables as well so I didn’t see a need to feel guilty.

So bridge turns out to be the game that I absolutely love because it’s all about manipulation and it can also be kindda suspenseful but don’t ever think that there’s such a thing as a clear winner. Absolutely addictive but way too much to type here to teach you guys.

Headed home a little later than I planned – time really flies when you’re playing bridge – and I changed and headed out immediately to get deflowered – soccer wise.

I was a defender for my team, which was a good decision I guess. I can’t aim for nuts and my kicks have no power so I guess defender’s perfect for me. Just got to get the ball away from the opponents and pass it on to a teammate; sounds easy enough.

I just got this feeling that this isn’t going to be my last time playing. My initial plan was to go there and be a referee or a cheerleader but the plan failed and Plan B wasn’t too bad so I guess why not?

A pink letter

letter

I received a letter from my poly today. It was a pink letter and from what I've heard, it usually means that you failed a course. But the thing is that I've already checked my results and I passed everything. Don't tell me they made a mistake... I knew it wasn't a happy birthday letter either; Temasek Polytechnic don't give a shit about its students' birthdays, it's true.

So I opened it anyway - good news or bad news it had to be opened - and it said "Congratulations on the successful completion of your course of study!"

I'm gonna be graduating in May next year and I can't wait for that! I got a feeling I'll be graduating with Eddy. Whoopee!

And this is specially for Emma cause we all know he's such a great fan of SAMMI CHENG!

Eyebrown, medicure, fleckle

I was just clearing some stuff from my desk when I happened to see a flyer in the heap of junk. I wondered for a while why I'd keep such a thing when I'd normally throw it away on the spot until I read what was on the flyer. Just take note of the stuff in the read boxes.

stupid001

Just a couple of things I wanted to highlight: eyebrow, not eyebrown; manicure, not medicure; freckle, not fleckle. The rest of the highlighted stuff are just mistakes that ching chongs make but what's up with the Red Cross flag?

Anyway, I want to keep this post short but I want to say thanks to everybody for their birthday wishes. It means a lot that people actually remembered and bothered to wish me. I did nothing for today but the fact that people remembered this date just made my day. By the way, did you hear the birthday siren at 12:05 today? Yeah, it was meant for me.

A walk in a canal

I had a walk in a canal with eXcess today, carrying lanterns and what I referred to as “blue dicks” as we made our way from 1 end of Bishan to the other and then later back again but not in the canal. It was 3 firsts for me: walking in a canal, treading on algae and walking around with a blue light stick dangling from my fly.

Walking in a canal is kindda fun until it gets to the part with algae.1 good advice would be not wearing slippers – the more friction and more material the better – and of course, wear a pair of shoes that you won’t mind dirtying. The algae get really thick at certain parts of the canal and I kindda had to scratch my way into the cement with the sole of my slippers to get more friction and that really did help get my slippers and toes soaked with... algae cum? I’m not really sure what it’s called...

Another thing to look out for while in a canal would be nonsense like broken fluorescent bulbs – again, another good reason to wear shoes you won’t mind spoiling – and the gross stuff that live in the canal, like toads.

But the walk wasn’t quite satisfying because there was this part that led out of the canal that was pitch black and I wanted to go in and explore since we all had our lanterns and blue dicks to light up the place. But we couldn’t go in because it was on the other side of the canal; the stream was too big and too infested with algae for us to cross and it had toads inside as well.

But I have to say that I did enjoy myself and I think if I hadn’t turned up today, I wouldn’t have had gone into that canal.

GOOD NEWS! (for me at least)

I've passed my exams, I've cleared every single subject that I had to clear, which means that I am going to graduate! My grades are shit of course but the most important thing is that school’s over, it’s behind me and I’m gonna get a diploma which also means I didn’t waste anybody’s money.

But the thought of leaving the polytechnic is kindda bittersweet. So much has happened in the past 3 ½ years that a part of me wants to leave but I don’t want to let go of the great memories I’ve had, but still I got to move on with life.

And I got to say that the celebration for Ben’s birthday yesterday was great. It was simple and I’m surprised that he wasn’t expecting anything and how everything fell in place so nicely that we managed to throw him the surprise.

But I cannot end this post without thanking God. I believe he worked a miracle for me and gave me exactly what I prayed for. I’m just so thankful man.

Music from Windows

Timmy showed me this video yesterday when I was at his place and I think it’s über cool!


But on to more important matters, voting for the world’s number 1 DJ of 2008 will be ending in about 20 days and I would want to vote but I’m just torn between Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk and Tiësto.

4 votes!

So it has been decided by YOU PEOPLE (or more like the 4 who actually bothered) that this layout should remain. Whoopee I say because I like this layout too. And I’d like to thank the 4 people who voted for this layout. You people didn’t actually let the gadget go to waste.

Nothing much happening in my life right now so don’t expect me to update much in the following weeks I guess. I’ve decided that I’m gonna live healthily – fruits replacing junk food, eating right and lots and lots of exercise – but I’m also expecting the plan to fail just like the million times before.

Other than that, I finally nailed a nail in the wall and hung up my clock today; it’s been on the floor since I got it months ago.

Happy Birthday Timmy!

Today eXcess celebrated Timmy’s 16th birthday. I think the whole world had troubles getting him presents so he received a couple of nonsensical stuff (courtesy of Jo) like a balance tree and some other balancing toy that looks kindda obscene/sadistic. I was shopping for his gifts with her so when I saw what she picked I thought “hey! I want those for myself!” so I also grabbed it.

So when Timmy arrived at Breeks (btw, getting a table for 12 is a pain in the ass!), I gave him the balance tree, but he didn’t seem too stoked about it so I gave him his real presents after that; I’m glad he likes it. But then Jo gave him her balance tree and he seemed a little confused about it.

So after dinner, he opened up his toys and started playing with them. First was the obscene/sadistic one that he completed real quickly. Of course, me being me, I was still eating and I warned them that I could take a few days to finish. But later on, the balance tree came out and I ditched my almost finished food and joined the rest.

Caught WallE after that and it’s quite an interesting movie but we got horrible seats so I can’t really say I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Oh yes! I caught 4bia with Benjamin Seng on Wednesday. That’s one freaking good movie man! It scared the shit out of me and bloody full of suspense that I kept my eyes open tiny enough to read the subtitles and at some parts I just felt like running out of the cinema. If Emmanuel was there he’d probably wet his pants 15 times. No kidding!

Bob and bangs?

Bob and bangs... sounds quite dirty huh? But I recently dreamt that I had a haircut and I ended up with bangs and a bob. It was quite bad that even I was laughing at it in my dream. I told emma about it and he said that he could actually imagine me with such a hairstyle. He probably wasn't thinking of what I had in my dream.

So just to make everything clear, and easy for the not-as-quick-witted-as-me to understand what I had, I got what Gloria has in Devil May Cry 4 but shorter. You can watch the video below if you don't know who Gloria is.


In case you still didn't get it, she's the girl. And don't ask me if she's wearing anything in between her legs because I have no idea.

Diva's birthday celebration

Today was the day we celebrated Diva's birthday. So this post will be all about Diva because he threw the stars into the sky, the sun shines for him, the moon revolves around him and saying stupid phrases is his forte. I'd have to say that the classic phrase would be "like Jesus said, keep your friends close and enemies closer" Hmmm...right...

We got him a present, a present which I was supposed to buy but my card got declined. Terribly embarrassing but again, this post isn't about me. It was a bag that he thought of getting when he was out with me on Tuesday, a tote according to him. I'm not a fan of totes, in fact I hate them and I don't see what's so fashionably great about carrying a bag around like a dumbell that does nothing but make you look ultra gay when you get tired of dangling it from your hands and decide to shift it over to your shoulder. I'm guessing he likes the present anyway mainly because it's from his wonderful friends.

That aside, I'd like to say that Diva's been great fun through the years. Truth be told, we're mostly laughing thanks to him. I can vividly recall the day when his sari got stuck in the wheel of a wheelchair and he panicked for the wheelchair. Or the time when he had a bad dye job and ended up looking like he had tiger fur for hair. Ok, I should stop this.

Btw, we all found out something about Diva today: he's a lefty. I personally didn't find it funny at all but Emma and Roy seemed pretty tickled by that.

Day out with EC

Today’s been a splendidly unproductive day. I kindda promised the whole world that I’d start studying today and, yes, I did start studying but whatever I’ve studied is so little I managed to squeeze it into the back of a small receipt and the receipt’s not even full!

Plans also had to be changed cause I had to go meet EC and get certain things done and I was planning to go study at the library at Ngee Ann City but when I got there, I found out that the library had morphed into Jean Yip! WHAT’S THE WORLD COMING TO?! I really needed a place where I could sit down and plug my laptop to charge up by battery and the only place in town that I could think of was the library. So since it became Jean Yip, I settled for walking around town instead (and I’m not grumbling! :) )

So that was when EC was having his tuition and we decided to have dinner together after his tuition was over. First we intended to eat at this restaurant at The Cathay but the number of people at queue seemed more than the people inside the restaurant so we gave it a miss. Walked around PS and I saw a shop called “ass hut”. Über cool name I thought so I took a picture.



We ended up at United Square and relived our childhood there. Found a shelf decked out with what I’m guessing can be called hot toys. Just see for yourself.


I actually think that this toy is amazing because it is able to get a child's creative juices flowing. Who needs Lego with such cool toys now?

She said fuck? So what?

It seems like big news that Jade Seah said something that sounded a lot like 'fuck' while hosting Today in Beijing a few nights ago. The profanity seemed to come at the right moment, when the footage was slightly screwed up and in such a situation it's common for people to swear and it seems like people want her taken off the air because of that. Here's the footage:


I might be wrong but I think it sounds more like a part of a word and it just happens to sound like fuck. You might think that I’m a Jade Seah fan and that I could be defending her but all I got to say to that is get a life! I am not a Jade Seah fan, I hardly watch any local productions, I don’t know Jade Seah and I wouldn’t be defending a person who doesn’t even know I exist.

But I could be wrong and if I am then all I have to say is stop overreacting! Seriously, what is the harm in swearing on national TV? If it’s because it could be a bad influence on kids, then don’t send your kids to school because we all know that they’ll be learning much more than ‘fuck’ in any school.

Or maybe because we’re a conservative Asian country. But then again, are we really that conservative? The commoners of our country are telling each other to go ‘fuck your mama’ (after translation) as often as any normal person breathes but where did they learn that phrase from? Watching Today in Beijing? I highly doubt so. And if we really are that conservative then shouldn’t Tammy be executed for making a sex video or teens punished for having sexual intercourse?

Let’s face it: we’re not a conservative country and in this day and age, we can’t be. It’s like too much damage has already been done and there is no way to undo it. In other words, you can’t stop a storm from approaching. You can try but you’ll never succeed.

Bye bye drawings

I had to scrub off the drawing from my arm today. It hurt like mad (mainly because I used a pumice stome) but at the same time I'm rather sad that such lovely art had to be erased from my arm.

Besides that, I found a blindfold in my bag today. How the hell did it get there?

Canvas arm(s)

Today I spent my day with Diva. That stupid boy had to go walk around Hilton, find a boutique that had men's wear and pick an item to write about and say why it's the best thing to buy this season. I really don't know why but he chose to walk around town and around Hilton with a tacky Giordano umbrella.

But the good thing about it was that I saw a pair of shoes I'm seriously considering. Looks real pretty but the price is way prettier if you know what I mean.

Then I went to church and I got drawn on. My left arm ended up as canvas for absolute rubbish but the right arm became a piece of art. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

From top: Broken heart, sun and what I think is supposed to be the letter Z, face and a flower, rabbit wearing a bandana and pointing a gun to its head, star and my initials, horse's ass.

The left arm was so bad I washed it off so I've got no pictures for that one.

My father's stupid. What about yours?

Do you remember your first clubbing experience? I remember mine as clear as day but what I remember even better was what happened before that. The first time I went clubbing my father saw me leaving the house at 8 in the evening and 8PM isn’t exactly a decent time to leave home if you’re going to shop, even if there is late night shopping that day. So obviously I had no choice but to tell him that his son who just turned 18 is growing up, clearly doesn’t need his milk bottle anymore and that I was going to a place where people hook up, drink, smoke and dance to ear-blaring music.

To my surprise, it wasn’t a “no you can’t go!”, which is quite a miracle. But then his common sense – or what we refer to as stupidity – kicked in and he said “don’t take drugs ah...” Honestly, I don’t know which part of Singapore he’s been living in because I’m pretty damn sure that the rats in the sewers know clearly the strict laws the government has on drugs. Even IF I was going to take drugs, it’s not like I’d know anybody who’d be willing to sell it to me.

Today I got another one of his stupid advice. This time it was “don’t gamble ah” and it came after he clarified with me if I was the one who finished the can of beer yesterday. I really don’t get the connection between gambling and beer but if any of you know the connection, please leave a comment to fill me in on what I’m not getting.

Anyway, I was pretty annoyed with his stupidity so I told him off, bringing up the clubbing incident and he defends himself by saying “smart people” make these mistakes too. The thing is if they really were smart to begin with, they’d have known how to steer clear of such activities and influences not to get involved in them. Then I told him that he’s being all melodramatic and he does nothing but constantly insult his children’s intelligences and that’s where our conversation ended.

If you think that your father is more stupid than mine, do share your story with me because I’d really want to take whatever consolation I can get that the genes I inherited aren’t the dumbest genes in the world.

Poll's a bitch, I know

Honestly, I don't know what's the problem with the poll. I get the Google error, which I'm sure most of you have already seen and don't bother deleting the cookies because it doesn't work. For now, all I can say is if you get that freaking annoying error, try again another time. I'll be trying to see if there's a way to solve the problem but until then, all I can tell you to do is check back regularly and see if my poll decides to be a pain in the ass or not.

Other than that, I really hope that not all the gadgets Blogger provides are so frequently prone to errors because I like using the new functions actually cause it makes life so much easier. I mean, I'd rather be able to have a proper poll on the side rather than getting people to leave their votes on the tagboard.

So until I find a new poll gadget or I find out how to solve this stupid problem, the only solution I have for you is to keep checking back and pray it's not going to be a bitch.

Old or New?

Ok, I've just changed the layout a little here and there and the colours are back to the old palette but now I need you (assuming anybody even reads my blog at all now) to tell me which layout you prefer. This one or the one I had before I changed my URL.

‹‹‹ The poll's on the left side in case you missed it

The poll ends in about 2 weeks, midnight of 1st Sept to be exact, which means that you have until the end of this month to vote.

As for the dumbshits who don't remember how my old layout used to look like, select the 3rd option of the poll and click 'Vote'

Give Me Time

I know this is really sudden but I guess we just got to get used to it for a bit. Just give me time and I'll iron everything out and have a layout similar to my previous one. Or how about I let you decide instead and you tell me whether you prefer this layout that Blogger has provided or my previous layout. I've never done this before but I'll let YOU decide. (oh my god I sound like I'm running for president or something)

But first, let me try and get familiar with how some of the new stuff works and then we'll talk about voting. One thing that really bugs me is that the whole page scrolls instead of individual boxes so if you're at the bottom of the page, it'll be pretty much empty and that's exactly why I chose to have individual boxes in my previous layout. But whatever. Sometimes it's not always about me.

Anyway, check this out:


I think it's so cool. One thing that bothers me is that it'll be touch sensitive and I hate touch sensitive stuff.

To Right a Wrong

Right from the start, I never thought I'd have to resort to this. I guess in a way it was to prove to myself that I'm capable enough to stand up for every shit that I've done and that I wouldn't give in to the world or that I could get away with anything. However, I didn't think hard enough and didn't consider other circumstances which is exactly why I'm in the position I'm in right now. I guess that means I'm mistaken.

But somehow, I keep getting this feeling that whatever I'm doing to solve my problem wouldn't be enough because all I'm doing is "cutting the weeds"; if I really want to get rid of the problem, I got to "destroy the roots" if you know what I mean.

The thing is, whatever happens, my life must go on. We all make mistakes so that we can learn from them and I've already learnt what I had to: don't get complacent.
