When was the last time I said something intelligent? Quite a while, I think. I'm too sluggish now. Feel sluggish inside out, mentally and physically. How do you detox the mind?

I've been stagnant too long in every which way! ARGH! Life is boring! I hate school! I hate my life! I can't believe that I'm actually thinking of doing work!

On the other hand, what wouldn't I give to lie around all day.

All you ever wanted to know about flirting but were afraid to ask...

Flirting is a great and grand game of high risks and stakes. If you're a master at the art, you'll never have a dull moment because contrary to popular belief, flirting can take place between ANYONE. There's just a few things you have to know about the past-time, and from there, all you'll need is refinement of skill to achieve your own signature technique.

EYE-CONTACT: This is very important when you're flirting. It shows sincerity on your part, or at least achieves the veneer of sincerity as perceived by the other party. Also, a lot can be expressed through your eyes and facial expressions, and it is imperative that you thus notice expression and BE noticed in order to respectively analyse and relay feelings.

SMILE: Please do practice this in front of a mirror first. Ensure it looks genuine, and that the smile reaches your eyes too, otherwise people will be able to tell that you're fake-smiling, and a good flirt never lets on. Always maintain a slight smile on your face when you're talking to your intended target. Remember to laugh when appropriate.

BODY CONTACT: Yes, you do need body contact when you're flirting. But I'm not talking massive groping sessions - that's not flirting, that's a full frontal assault. Flirting is subtler than that. You lightly touch the other party on the arm or the knee when making a point or as a form of greeting. I reiterate. LIGHTLY touch. Do not allow your hand to linger longer than necessary. You are a flirt, not a dirty lecher.

WHEN SPEAKING: Always be gentle. Flirts are extremely charming because they know how to use words as the medium of unspoken thoughts. You tease, you compliment, you wittily banter, you weedle. It is essential that you are fluent in your chosen language.

BEHAVIOUR: Words are never enough. Flirt encompasses behaviour too. Body language - always have your body tilted towards your target. Always be relaxed. Flirting should seem like it's natural, not forced. When your target talks, listen carefully and be prepared with either something intelligent or funny in reply.

Okay. I guess that's it for today because I am truly beat... I actually had this whole thing planned in mind, but I can't recall most of it now... Will have to do a little thinking and then update this entry. Meanwhiles, enjoy?

SOMEBODY tried to burn down the clubroom today. Apparently bear porn isn't good enough for her as a distraction. Some other smart person gave the burning a headstart by dumping toilet paper in it. And it promptly got out of hand.

The only thing I could think to do was smother the fire, so I overturned the rubbish bin on top of the fire, which I think would have been faster than trying to douse it out with water from some other smart person's waterbottle. Unfortunately, the downside was that part of the basket would inevitably get singed, and now there's a horrible smell.

I swear, I did tell them to take it outside, but would they listen?

Young kids these days!

Go here.

You will go here because I said so. It's not great and I think my drawing has deproved because I haven't drawn in ages, but I really liked the LOTR twist at the beginning. Well, when I drew it, it was event appropriate due to the release of ROTK, but hey, press delays are inevitable.

Popularity.

It's a curse. Assumption: 1) Everyone wants to be popular, secretly. 2) Everyone secretly resents people who are more popular than they are. Conclusion: This gives rise to a lot of hypocrites, because if you wanna get anywhere, you have to be popular. What do I mean by this? a) You want to be popular, but b) you hate people who are popular too. Ergo, hypocrite.

What does this mean for popular people? There are people out there plotting their downfall. There are people sucking up to them, hoping to ride on the wings of their popularity. There are people out there who HATE them. It's difficult being popular, remaining popular, and once you leave the enviro and move off to somewhere else, there's no guarantee of being one having the same success with others as before. Being unknown after the fame and glory is a far fall and it's not pleasant.

Yet, it's necessary to be popular. I've said this MANY MANY times - Man is a social creature. He needs friends. Remove the human touch from anyone's life, and he'll wither. Not physically maybe, but emotionally, mentally, socially - he's dead, and the physical death would essentially follow after a while. Popularity ensures that you'll survive the rough stage we call life.

The MRT.

Can't live with it, can't live without it. I hate the MRT for so many reasons, but I need it for so many other ones too. Anyhow, here's what got me annoyed:- Graceless Singaporeans. See, they put those yellow lines so that we'd, you know, have somewhere to stand when we're giving way to passengers coming out from the train. But, of course, no one ever pays attention to the yellow lines, and everyone's all "each for his own".

I'd be standing behind the yellow lines, and I swear, as the train pulls into the station, people move directly into the path marked out for the passengers to alight. Even if I was standing there before them. They just move around me, sometimes unhappily, as if I was doing something wrong by allowing the poor people in the train to get off first.

Well, whatever. Things like that just get me pissed everytime I take the MRT during peak hour, but I assume it's too much to ask for, given our kiasu mentality.

And what's with the sand in Sentosa? It's sticks to everything! They don't have grains of sand... it's like flakes of ... who knows what. So hard to brush off.

You know how sometimes you can have a sad dream and then for the rest of the day you feel so washed out, so flat, so depressed? I dreamt a lot last night, but I can only remember one part of it, and I remember that I cried, but I'm not sure why.

"Earthbound" - Connor Reeves

You took me higher than I've ever been
Now that we're strangers I've come down again
Back to the real world, back to the real world
Back to the ground, not high above it,
Without your loving, now I'm earthbound

Because your loving lifted me above it all,
Without it, it's leaving me so far to fall

(But I) I hope you find what you're looking for,
I never thought there could be anymore...

But if you really have to go,
you take the high I'll take the low,
But when you leave me don't you know,
You leave me earthbound.

You took me higher than I've been
Now that we're strangers, I've come down again
Back to the real world, back to the real world,
Back to the ground.
Not high above it, up where the love is,
Now I'm earthbound.

Because we used to say we were far away,
Because our loving took us to another place,
And it's so hard for me to face

But if you really have to go,
You take the high I'll take the low,
But when you leave me don't you know,
You leave me earthbound...


I liked this song way back in Secondary School, I think, but I never knew the name. Thanks Jo.

Finally, someone has agreed with me on the point that William Hung is being exploited for his inability to perform. Read the Life section of the Straits Times. Tell me that you admire his spirit, sure, but this is getting a little out of hand. There's no need to go all fan-girl/fan-boy over him. Why on earth would you want to buy his album if he ever produced one? You might as well buy MY album, and I can definitely dance better... "damn hot" even. (hahaha)

I mean, this I know for a fact - You laughed when he sang. You must've. You only felt sorry for him later when he was shot down, and everything else is a ludicrous method of disguising the perpetuation of your amusement about the whole shebang, pun intended. Admit it. You've felt sorry for him, you admired his brief stand against Simon's harshness (which was certainly warranted), but let's move on. There's nothing to see here. Wild card for American Idol 3? Please, spare me. It's a clever excuse to make more people watch the show. There's no way he could be an American Idol. Try Hongkong or China even. Don't bother about trying to get a share of the American Dream, because baby, it ain't gonna happen if you're a Chink and you look like you're FOB. I believe in being realistically racist and sexist. And he's not even an attractive female.

The only reason why anyone who's only known about William Hung through American Idol should "love" him or "want to marry" him is if he is indeed as his surname suggests.

I'm rude? Well at least I'm not you.

Mmm, yeah, so it's Valentine's Day already. I didn't draw like I wanted to, and I've spent half of the day sleeping and staring at some kind of screen. I haven't quite decided if I'm just pathetic or it's the horrible reality of what February 14th is really all about. I'm rooting for the latter, because you know, if you don't love yourself, who will?

The high from yesterday has died down quite a bit, which is pretty good, methinks, because that means I can treat today like any ordinary day. One complaint though. Why do people not believe me when I have no dates for Valentine's Day? I mean, come on... I'm acerbic to the point of third degree burns at sometimes, and questionably sappy at others - I mean, even -I- wouldn't want to date a potential schizoid. But, then again, that's just me. There are crazy people out there.

I just haven't met one crazy enough. ;)

I'm a secret flower lover. Anyway, I'm in a particularly good mood today because I recieved 6 roses! Thank you thank you thank you!! I'm sorry I didn't get you guys anything but I wasn't expecting such an onslaught of roses. Hehehe... Admittedly I did give one away, but well, what are roses for if not to make other people happy too?

Too bad no bouquets though. Would've liked at least one. =) That is in NO way a hint to anyone about anything. Get me a bouquet because you want to, not because I want you to.

It's hard for me to post anything serious and thoughtful when I'm in a good mood. And I am, in a relatively good mood. I feel particularly stable this year, although I do still crave for a better half. -grin- Nonetheless, it's not something I require at the moment, though it'd be nice, of course.

Let's talk about Valentine's Day and all the misconceptions that surround it. Why do some people think that V-day is the only day they can be romantic, or especially so? Say, for instance, you're wooing someone... why wait till V-day to express how much you care? It should be in everyday acts. Certainly, go ahead, shower her with gifts on the big day itself, but show her that you care even before that.

And, contrary to popular belief, doing something romantic for a girl does not necessarily make her swoon. There IS a pre-req for it. One, she has to be at least receptive to romance from you. Two, she has to find you attractive. I can't exactly put it in words very well, but the gist of what I'm saying is that, if she isn't doesn't like or think of you in that way..... Your whole romance schtick is going to blow up in your face, (i.e. She's going to freak out... majorly. Even if she is expecting it. Heheh.)

And what's with all this "expressing your love" stuff? Come on. I bet you don't even know what "love" is. I mean, okay, "expressing your lust" for someone might be a tad off, but... it's closer to the truth than love. Valentine's Day is so not about love. Here's a few things it might be about, though.

1) Crass commercialization of the concept of "love". (okay, maybe I say this about EVERY holiday, but it IS true...)
2) An excuse to try your luck with the lusted after one.
3) A day for some couples to bask in the warm feeling they think is called love.
4) A day for some other couples to get lucky with each other.
5) A day for remembrance of friendships.

I'm sorry. I can't be entirely cynical. V-day is... (sigh) essentially, a nice day, if you do take note of it. You get gifts, you distribute them to your friends... You get a warm fuzzy feeling when your friendships are reaffirmed with the tokens received on the day, when you know thought and effort was put into the gift, regardless of how small or how cheap. And flowers.... everywhere on that day, maybe not all, maybe not even any for you, but nonetheless, there's beauty everywhere.

Man. What a time for PMS.

Oh, and guys... don't beat around the bush. Just ask, because frankly speaking, there's no incentive for Singaporean girls to take the initiative. She probably guesses you like her, but I'll bet she's not going to make any move until you make it official.

'Sam'* threw me over his shoulder today and ran to the club room. I pulled my arm muscle a little and the bumpy 30 seconds I was on his shoulder were the most ... embarrassing moments of my pre-adult life. I can't remember how it started because I'm pretty sure my mind is shunting the entire incident into the darkest recesses of my memory. It probably involved something like the following exchange:

"You can't carry me."
"Wanna bet?"

That was the first (and I hope the last) time anyone, girls included, has carried me in a fireman's lift. Okay, I must admit, it was... interesting. The next time I'm in some guy's arms however, I hope it'll be less uncomfortable.

He is awfully strong for a hobbit. But then again, he did say I was light. =/

*If you're reading this for the first time, I realise I should not have put the names of people I know. Not that I really care about their identity or anything, but I worry about them killing me if they find out. If you don't know who 'Sam' is... too -ing bad.

You know how everyone has a weak spot? Well, I've discovered my weak spot and it's a blind spot too. -lazy grin- Perhaps it's tempting fate here, to tell you that you could probably make me do anything using this "blind, weak spot" but you'd have to know what it is to manipulate me. Sure, you might be able to make a really good guess as to what this blind spot is - something that I'd drop everything I was doing for, regardless of consequences, because it's that important to me.

It can do no wrong.

I realise "Make fun of friendster messages" week has lasted for oh... about... a month? haha... Well, here's another message or really, string of messages that I got.

Him: Hihi.
Me: Yea, I'm here, what's up?
Him: ermm.. care to be frens?
Me: Sure. Let's see if we can. *dramatic music plays*

Will he reply? Will I laugh in his face? Or will a romance blossom and flower in time for the annual Lover's day? Tune in next week for another exciting installment of "As the Grass Grows"!
