I'm like super excited right now. So don't even comment on my grammar or spelling, because I'm not paying attention to them. Even though it's really not that good - I mean, I already screwed up the 3rd note in the beginning - but who cares.
Excuse the terrible guitar playing and pitchy-ness.
Oh, and if you're wondering whether that's my real voice, it's not. I tried doing it in my normal (pretty deep) voice and then in this higher voice... and I like the higher voice.
OH, and don't mind the random thwacks you hear every now and then... I missed the strings and hit the guitar. Don't laugh at me. I am a noob.

PS: I have no idea what this black box under the video is... but until I figure it out, it's going to be here. Nothing to do with the html now. I checked.
I just have to finish this last assignment and I'm done with holiday homework!
Oh wait, there's still some Japanese listening but I'll get that done in a flash. Listened to it a couple of days ago and fully understood it. Considering I haven't reviewed the work for a couple ofweeks, that's pretty awesome. :)
People always say the last step is the hardest. Well, in my case, the last sketch is the hardest.
Who knew a bloody fork would cause me so much torment?
I wonder if Ms. F (yes, that's actually her initial, not a naughty four letter word) would spare me if I sketched her a spoon instead?
I officially hate one point perspectives. And anything with a shiny metal surface.
I'm staying away from the guitar today. Playing yesterday was hell. So I'm giving my digits a well deserved break. [Insert heart sign]
Aussie Open analysis Current game: Andy Murray v. Rafael Nadal Rooting for: Murray obviously. Current Score: 6-3, 5-5 General score: 1 - 0 to Murray General feeling: Ecstaticity for me. Devastation for my sister. Reasons why I'm rooting for: Murray. Because I'm sick of watching Nadal pull his wedgie out of his shorts. Which are tight even when the tennis ball isn't in his pocket. Which means his bum sticks out. And his bum is bigger than my sisters' (which is saying something, because we're both blessed with the hips and bums that have survived generations).
OH. Nadal just fell. Is he injured? Will he be able to continue? There goes my mum, commenting on Nadal's nice shoes and top. Hello, he's sponsored by Nike, what do you expect?
9.54pm. OH. He's back. DEUCE! I guess I'll keep at this until someone wins. After all, it is 5-5.
COME ON MURRAY.
9.56 pm. 2nd deuce. Advantage to Nadal.
9.58pm. Nadal up 6-5. NOOOO I'm the one in agony now D: Come back, Murray, you beat him 6-3! That'll stop him from wearing tight shorts that prevent from running properly.
10.05pm. 6-6! TIE-BREAK! 1 to Murray! Woot! 10.06pm. 2 to Murray! Come on! :D 10.07pm. 3 to Murray! 10.08pm. 1 to Nadal... D: 10.09pm. 4 to Murray! Geez, this is like 1 minute after another. I feel like a commentator, though I'd probably get kicked out for just saying 3 simple words. 5 to Murray! And I'm not a-kidding. 10.10pm. 6 to Murray! Is Nadal really going to go down at this point? I shudder to think about it. But hey, he's won enough trophies. Aish, 2 to Nadal. 10.11pm. MURRAY WON.Murray won!. Murray won.
What an epic game. Just hearing my sister and mother screaming at the TV screen at inappropriate times (like in the middle of a rally) makes me relieved that we're not at the live one. We'd get kicked out for sure.
I'd be screaming with them. Must run in the family.

In due reference to the title (gee, that sounds a bit posh, doesn't it? No pun intended), I can now proudly say that covers are awesome!
Well, I'm indebted to Howie because he managed to write out the tabs for 니가 좋은 이유 (Why I Like You) by Super Junior, though I suspect they were a breeze for him (YOU'RE THE BEST BRO EVER, HOWIE). It's a bit harder than I expected, but I'm working on it. Looks like my fingers aren't as
Gee acoustic is in the bag too. And because I tuned my guitar- online obviously, I don't have a tuner - it sounds better than before. My strings were all too loose. 너라고 (It's You) is in the bag too. Though I haven't worked out proper chords to use for the chorus - and I need the chords, if not it's just plucking all the way throughout the song - it's coming along great.
Now I just need the nerve to record it and put it here. And maybe YouTube. Because sometimes it's embarassing when everyone you know on Facebook knows how much you suck.
I shall cross my fingers and hope this is the right number.
PS: The title is a line from Sunset Glow (붉은 노을) by Big Bang. It isn't meant to emo... in fact it's one of the happiest songs I know. Just not in terms of lyrics.

My ma made loh mai kai today. Maybe because we forgot to eat it when we went back. We had thosai for breakfast too.
With daal.

Going to my uncle's house is fun. Sometimes. At least when nobody disturbs me when I'm on the piano. (By all means, I do not do not mean my cousin).
Haha, good memory helps because I can play the beginning of Wasteland. Just the beginning. Just the right hand. Because I couldn't remember the left.
Q:What do you do when a 6 year old cousin you've never spoken to in your life hangs around you when you're on the piano?
A: Just smile and wave boysgirls people, just smile and wave.

It took me 1.5 hours to draw and shade 3 tennis balls. For VisCom. Because who in their right mind would draw and shade tennis balls for no reason whatsoever?
Half an hour for a tennis ball.
And only the second one looks good.
Oh well, at least they were all perfectly round. I made sure they were.
And I was only meant to do one anyway. Now my teacher can't say I did nothing.

Date: 3 January 2010 Source: Facebook With: Danny boy! :D
Danny: I stubbed my toe =( Me: OUCH! I've done that loads of times, hope your toenail doesn't come out :O Not as funny as hitting yourself in the mouth though. I mean.... hitting yourself in the face... with a door... Danny: Oh shut up =P You hit your head til it had a DENT =P
I don't deny that what he said was true... HAHA. But it was my ever so smart sister who gave me the dent.
That's all for now... Until I can dig up some more old conversations, that is.
It's only been the 6th (7th?) post since I started writing my titles like this and I can't even remember what number I'm at.
언니: Have we been here before? 너: Yeah! Don't you remember? I remember! 언니: When I went in I felt like I've been there before... 엄마: We went there the last time we came (to Aus) for holiday... 너: Isn't your memory supposed to be better than mine? 엄마: Yin remembers... if she can remember it it's a miracle. 너: HEY!
The lovely conversations we have in the car. I have the navigational memory of... a tree. I can't say a fish or a bird or any sort of animal because they obviously have exceptional navigational skills... they don't have a need for maps.
I'm insanely jealous. In a positive-I-will-learn-to-be-as-good way.
God Buddha knows how many times I've tried playing this song. My mum's going to send me for guitar classes because, quite frankly, I suck. Okay, so I can play simple songs (like songs that only require plucking? Or easy chords?), but changing chords doesn't come naturally to me. And I have a feeling that my guitar isn't tuned right. After all, I tuned it myself. Teehee.
I'd much rather do classes in Malaysia. But we're always so busy when we go back.
Sigh.
I WILL learn to play Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo.
And I WILL learn to play this. I'll have to write down the notes myself, but that's easy. I already know that it's in C and I've already figured out the right hand. But matching the left to the right might be a bit harder. Oh well.
Just a quickie post because there appears to be something wrong with the post #272... the title has become a link.
Just want to see if it has something to do with me adding in the music/video player (I really wasn't intending on making it a video but apparently all the song files are videos) because if it is... Then I have to figure out the bloody html. LOL.
Yea, shut up about the quote marks, I like them.
EDIT: Yeah, it was me! :D I figured out the html, woot. Now... to figure out why I keep tagging my posts as random.
Listening to songs with a good beat [cough]Ring Ding Dong, Heartbeat, Why I Like You 니가 좋은 이유[/cough] make me want to get up and dance. I've never done that before.
And, of course, hearing the heartbeats in Heartbeat make me chest pop.
Just for fun, I really want to try this bock quote thingie out. :) I never know what to use it for... apart from quotes, obviously. And I hardly ever use quotes, so...
I'm really tired now. 정말...
And I didn't even make this skin. I doubt that I ever will make a skin. Just editing this one took me one and a half hours. When I was supposed to be doing my homework.
I'm going to fail English and VisCom for sure.
And it doesn't help (as always) that I've been waking up at 12-1 pm like everyday for the past three days. Geez. Maybe it's because in Malaysia it would be like 9-10am... which was the time I was waking up at.
RESOLUTION: Tomorrow I will wake up at 7am. 8am latest. I swear on the soft toys waiting for me in my house. Or... maybe not so drastic. Maybe on the Harry Potter books. Not like I haven't memorized them by now anyway.
I'm off to crap something for English. For some strange reason, what I think of as crap gets a really high mark. So does that mean my teachers are crap? (ㄱㅡ)
I can't be bothered adding in the music player right now. I'll do that some other day.
ASLKJLJKFDKHFAKLDS WHY ARE JO KWON AND GA-IN SO CUTE TOGETHER?!
I know, I'm like freaking out over an actual heterosexual couple (I usually freak out over the bromance couples, especially the ones in Super Junior) but they're really cute!
I reckon We Got Married was the best thing that happened to the two of them. I hope they go out for real when the show's over. :3
Makes me wonder what I'd do if one of the SuJu members got on We Got Married. Well, KangIn did, but he's not one of my absolute favourites. The first episode of JoKwon/GaIn's "relationship" was already so funny.
I bet they're really together, but they're using the show as a cover for now. >)

I have a sudden urge to watch 'You're Beautiful" (미남이시네요 /Minami Shineyo). I mean, come on, can anyone resist Jang Geun Seuk in that drama? He looks so freaking cute! :D
And Jung Yong Hwa's pretty good too. It helps that he's in C.N. Blue, because I've been anticipating them. They look pretty good, C.N. Blue.
But then again, I was hyping myself up for F.Cuz but they disappointed. Miserably. I've gone off bubblegum pop. Even the Super Junior bubblegum pop isn't as bad as F.Cuz. ):
Maybe I should listen to SHU-I. They don't look that bad.
But ZE:A aka Child of Empire... they're awesome! Mazeltov is officially stuck in my head. And no, it's not because they recite the days of the week, from Monday to Sunday. The video seems a bit DBSK Mirotic though. A bit SS501 DejaVu as well.
Ah well, rookies will be rookies. I remember thinking that B2ST/BEAST were Big Bang wannabes. :D Now I love em!

I FINALLY watched the final episode of IRIS last night on KBS. It actually finished in December in Korea, but I can't complain. At least I got to watch it on TV.
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD:If you haven't watched the last episode of IRIS yet, STOP READING FROM THIS POINT ON. Because my sister and I posted the ending on Facebook and spoiled it for our cousin. Ick.
Yeah. The last episode was sad as hell. Sau didn't need to die! And the way he died was kinda stupid if you think about it. I mean, stands in an open space to shoot people? Obviously you're going to get shot first. -.- But.. it was still sad. I cried when HyunJoon cried.
I read a spoiler on allkpop. Go me. It said that HyunJoon was going to die, because Lee Byung Hyun, who played HyunJoon, wouldn't be able to shoot IRIS 2, because he'd be filming GI Joe 2. If Lee ByungHun sounds familiar to you, maybe it's because he's the ninja in GI Joe. The one who supposedly died at the end.
Anyway, when they said that SeungHee and HyunJoon left the NSS because they were going to get married, I thought that maybe that was how they were telling the audience that he wasn't coming back. I thought they weren't going to kill him off.
At least until he was driving to the lighthouse to propose to SeungHee and got shot in the head by a sniper. I screamed so loud then. I was like "NO NO NO NO! YOU STUPID PRODUCERS! YOU DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT!" It was hilarious. My sister was yelling too. Our mum was like wtf. xD
Seriously, they didn't need to. I didn't even cry when he finally died, because I was too busy yelling at the TV. It was supposed to be a sad scene too, because he could see SeungHee from where his car had swerved off the road but she couldn't see him.
Sigh. And it was a butt ugly ring that he was going to propose to her with anyway.

EDIT: I made a pomegranate drink and put in the Popsicle mold. So I'm anticipating that too. :D Maybe I should have made passion fruit too, they're so small. How long does it take ice to freeze?
My family's downstairs, watching Yasmin Ahmad's last film, Talentime, and I'm upstairs doing gradients. And no, not the Photoshop ones, the math ones.
Sounds pretty boring now, huh?
At least until I started listening to Heartbeat.
Which reminded me of Sunday, where we went for karaoke and they made me dance to Heartbeat, Sorry, Sorry and It's You. Which reminded me that I only knew the chorus and beginning of Heartbeat, which was embarrassing because everyone was watching.
So I watched the video.
And the Heartbeat dance is now in the bag. :)
Euphoria.
I'm wearing the 'Red Warriors' hooded tee that I found in the cupboard. I haven't worn it since Form 1, when we wore it for our march past. I'm supposedly in Form 5 now. The long sleeves have now become three quarter.
But I'm still sweating in it. I guess some things never change.
Well, more like last night, but I doubt it because I was still up at 1 and we hadn't caught it yet.
[pause]Ouch, I just bashed my knee on the table. NTS: Don't ever try crossing your legs when you're sitting on a chair.[/pause]
Anyway, we always get rats in the house. Not that our house is dirty - if you see my Mum get going with the vacuum... you'll know the house isn't dirty - but sometimes if we leave the doors open at night they run in. Don't ask me from where. The storm drain 2 houses away from me might be the answer, but I don't want to think about it.
Anyway, couple of days ago we accidentally left the French doors open and... yup, you guessed it. Lucky no one broke in... well, no person anyway.
Over the next few days that ratlittle fella - as my dad likes to call it - wrecked havoc all over the house. Just kidding. More like it left some poo here and there, like on the staircase and then in our bedroom. -.-
And then it got hungry and decided to have a little chew on our earphones. I kid you not this time. I don't even want to put them in my ear anymore. My sister did, and she thought she was going to die. HAHA.
When we woke up we ran down to look. It was tiny. And soooo cuteeee. [insert]smiley cute face complete with adored squeals[/insert].
We I named it Maknae. It means baby in Korean. :D
We have this thing with naming rats whenever we catch them. Makes us remember them, I guess.
We set himher it free near the Equestrian Club. Lots of forest-y trees around there. Oh, we also have this thing with setting them free after we catch them. Comes with going to Buddhist Sunday School for two years. I do not kill living things. Especially cute living things.
I wanted to take a picture of it. Just for... memories. :3
But for all it's cuteness, it still had the characteristically long, slimy-worm-looking tail at the end of the small, brown-gray body with the eyes too big for its face.
Yes, it's 6.30pm sharp and it's a really inappropriate thing to say at this hour, but by GodAllah Buddha I needed that nap.
I need to place a restriction order between me and the computer soon.
If not I'll be walking around like a permanent vampire. No, not one of those oh-look-at-me-I'm-sparkling-and-have-golden-eyes-because-I-don't-drink-any-human-blood-and-I'm-breathtakingly-beautiful vampires, the real deal.
You can't blame me for being forced to watch Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam when I was 10. And when I say forced, I mean forcedeven though we were allowed to escape to the library if we couldn't take it. Curse me for trying to be tough. Ahh, what beautiful memories, primary school.
I heard there are only 3 classes of Standard 1 students in my old school this year. When I was there we had 2 classes. The year after us they had 6 classes.
Must be why I turned out like this.
But then again, it meant I knew every single person in my year level. And when I mean every single person, I meant every single person. Save for those who couldn't take it anymore and eventually moved, I knew everyone in my year level through the whole 6 years at primary.
Gosh, that makes me sound extremely big headed. Better stop now, or my head won't fit through the door.

Good luck to all my friends in school now. Congratulations, you're finally seniors! Not that it really means anything... just that it's your final year in high school.
Scares you, doesn't it?
That it's finally your last year in school. When I was a kid I used to think that school went on forever.
I wish.
After all, it's practically your second home. I don't know about other people, but I actually feel safe in school, save for a couple of perverted teachers (I won't mention any names, but if anyone in my old school is reading this, just think of PJK and a name beginning with F).
I think my sis and mum are back from their walk, I can hear the 6 or so dogs that my house is surrounded by barking their heads off...
EDIT: By the way, I've began reading Bleach. Can I say that it's the best manga ever? After Vampire Knight. And Kuroshitsuji. And Ouran High School Host Club. Teehee. Actually, I can't decide.
OH MY EFFING GOD LITERALLY ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING MY ASS OFF. AND ASFKJSDLFHDSLS WOOYOUNG IS SOOO CUTEEE AND JOKWON IS REALLY THE KING OF SSANTI AND SEULONG AND CHANSUNG ARE JUST SOOO FUNNY IN THE BEGINNING I SWEAR THEY COULD BE MALE STRIPPERS OR SOMETHING IF I DIDN'T KNOW THEM ESPECIALLY JOKWON...
Just watch it.
And NO they are NOT gay, they're just doing a parody of this.
EDIT: What happens when Brown Eyed Girls meet Dirty Eyed Girls.
Wouldn't you be freaked out if you were a guy getting caught in those clothes? Not to mention you're making a parody out of the girl's song...
First word of 2010: "Wow!" Well, more like sounds. I blame the fireworks.
First MSN conversation: Arif! :3
First swear word in a conversation: From Howie! You and your bullshit! xD Now you have a place in my list of firsts, moose. :D
First swear word of 2010: Shit! Jumped out of bed because I thought the cleaner was in the house and I was still sleeping. What happens when my mum speaks Bahasa Melayu on the phone.
First meal of 2010: Leftover chicken and pizza from last night.
Okay, I can't think of any other firsts. So much for many firsts.

I have nothing better to do (what a lie, my mandarin work is glaring at me from under my nose), so I'll just list down the new friends I made in 2009. I know. I'm really pathetic. :)
Actually, I might do this another time, I have less than 15 minutes before 010110 is over... and I want this to be the first post of the decade.
Hey, I have a unique mind okay?
Arif and Howie aren't helping me get this published any sooner. Not that I don't want them to stop talking to me. :D I want to be #1. Even when it's not possible.
