I'm think New Zealand and I don't agree. Or rather, New Zealand and my wallet don't agree. Ever since I've been here my money keeps vanishing! I'd have notes morphing into coins in the matter of seconds. What kind of evil/demented/twisted trick is this?Of course, the real culprit could be my self-discipline-- but I'm never going to own up to that. It's never my fault, but you bet I'll keep my

So it was my birthday yesterday. 24. Sounds...old. And boring. 24. Other than reminding me of multiplications (2 x 12 and 8 x 3 are cool ones) and the number of hours in a day, 24 is a pretty boring number. It sounds so somber and...adult. Meanwhile, I think 25 is an awesome number! I imagine huuuuge blowouts and balloons and confetti! Jubileeee!I've been pretty much a dork on my 24th. The day of

If people are products of their environment, then surely all of us are somewhat influenced by our consumerist culture.So here's a link that might make you think twice about buying those new pair of shoes, or that shiny new laptop.

Also, my mum just fed me some very dubious beef. If I get a stomach ache because of that, I'm gonna be hella pissed! But enough of that.

So.Some of you may have notice my recent hiatus in blogging. In the grand scheme of things, the world continues, on-course, same as it ever was (war, poverty, economic downturn, orbiting the sun). But here, I will put my narcissistic mask back on and pretend that the world revolves around me, and that you have missed my blog posts. :PHere's the DL (down-low, E!

As my blog is littered with Youtube videos, I suppose it’s no surprise when I admit I am something of a Youtube fiend. Youtube is my numero uno reference source, alongside the ubiquitous Wikipedia of course. I live on Youtube. I watch Jonathan Ross interviews, sing along to Estonian Lolita-Goths, and even watch some anime online.Most of the time, I’m listening to music I don’t currently have—or

It began, as most adventures do, with an unassuming situation. The hospital my aunt was in didn’t allow members of the opposite sex to sleepover with the patient. You’d think since my aunt was tremendously pregnant and starting to have contractions they’d allow the husband to stay over—after all, they’ve already had that special hug. That’s why my aunt was in there in the first place!But no, the

Interestingly, the only awkward breakup I ever had is with someone I never dated in the first place!Now he wants to do the whole 'breakup box' thing. *sigh*Also, we currently communicate with each other using backhanded insults and not-too-subtle sarcastic comments. A far cry from the days when he was the sweetest person ever and brought me lamb shank at midnight. Of course, at the time, he was

Here's my present to you! I give you...The calf aptly named 'Heart'Isn't it cute? How precious is it to have a calf marked with a heart? Actually, I feel a deep connection to anything with heart-shaped birthmarks, only because I have one on my calf. Wait, I just realised-- a calf called Heart, a heart on my calf.

I haven’t updated in a while, and I have a very good reason for it!I’ve been sick of words.Seriously. I started work last week, and it involved me reading up to fifty articles (that’s 5-0!) all in the same pompous academic tone, write the introductory chapter to the research paper in a similar manner (like an assignment, it’s upwards of 2500 words), and worse, editing a 10,000 word chapter

A study conducted by Dr. Kristina Durante and her team from the University of Texas at Austin found the following:Women with high levels of an oestrogen known as estradiol:1) look and feel prettier2) dress more provocatively and engage in more thrill-seeking behaviour3) reported a greater likelihood of flirting, kissing and having a serious affair with someone other than their primary partner4)

There is nothing as pointless as 'Time Warp', that show on Discovery channel where they show things happening in slow motion. I mean, I like slow-mo as the next person, but...a whole show on it? Half an hour of slowing down drops of water or a slap across the face?I'm guessing they had to pay for those expensive cameras one way or another and decided, hey! Let's make a show about it!Gah.

Ow.Despite the fact that nobody likes a rambling sick person talking ramblingly about their illness, I am going to do so anyway. Besides, people probably don't understand the overwhelming urge for less-than-healthy persons to indulge in verbal diarrhoea.

If this song was a tangible object, I'd totally do it. STRAW-berr-y SWING. Two delicious words. I love strawberries. I love the swing. Heck, I love to swing. Nah, jokes (or am I?) Rolling Stone pegged Coldplay's strange guitar sounds (unsure of actual instrument) as a 'North Pacific Japanese lilt' -- but all I hear is the enthusiasm (and influence) of the Irish in it. I feel like tap-dancing and

I love Bjork. I realise most people think she's a tad odd, if not completely off her rocker, but I love her for it! She is true to her art and has a style that is inimitable and completely her own. But I had pegged her as that artiste with the weird videoclips and haunting voice and certainly did not expect her to be able to act at all, much less in an emotionally demanding drama like the ones

When upset, I pull up all the walls around me—a reflexive habit borne out of self-preservation to protect/hide my vulnerable state. I become hardened; cruel; impervious; reducing countless numbers of people to tears with my conduct, including my loved ones. Amendment: especially my loved ones. Among the unfortunates: my parents, siblings, ‘lovers’ (current, former or otherwise) and my closest

So here I am, 3 days prior to my ordained ‘reporting for duty’. I am unsure how to break the news to my other friends; tell them that, no, I won’t be doing it; I refuse! —especially considering a majority of them are in the same predicament. All those ‘reporting for duty’ within this state are supposed to congregate at a specified venue this Monday for a briefing (at an ungodly hour, I might add)

They should TOTALLY make shisha ciggies. I'd buy a pack of those. Heck, I'd buy 20 packs, one in every flavour! Although apparently smoking shisha is 'more harmful than smoking cigarettes'. But ciggies don't taste as good, do they? Seeing as how a hookah is so unwieldy and not quite mobile, I think re-packaging the fragrant fumes could be a good move, not to mention an opportunity to tap into a

I forced myself to stay up for this show 'coz I've been wanting to watch it since it debuted on Astro 3 years ago. It was worth it!

I've been bestowed with several titles throughout my years, the most popular of which are variations on the theme 'Ice Queen' or 'Emotional Zombie'.True, I've never been one to wear my heart on my sleeve—years of being a girl taught me how dangerous it was—but of course I had feelings! Thanks to several traumatic high school dramas, I learnt to bottle up those things called feelings, which was
