Yes, I know I need to stop disappearing for random patches of time. But hey, I bet you didn't even notice, did you? Heh.

Updates? Eh, my life is still boring? Well, last day at work today. After this, 3 weeks of absolutely nothing before I start school. Woe. I'm determined to have fun in the next 3 weeks! Starting with a music journalism workshop tomorrow! And gosh, need to catch up on TV. Entire seasons of Lost and One Tree Hill, plus those unwatched Friday Night Lights and Smallville episodes. And oh, that last episode of Grey's Anatomy. Can't bring myself to watch it, for some reason.

Still stuck on anime and jdrama love. Maou's got potential, mainly because Ikuta Toma is still unbelievable adorable. Code Blue is kinda entertaining, a guilty pleasure of sorts, although I feel nothing for their characters; more character development, please. Osen is cute, alive and brimming with philosophy and human drama.

Here, music, have it.

I'm kinda surprised I haven't really seen this around. Does everyone already know? I first saw this on a Bleach fansite, and if I recall correctly, another one on my flist. No Firefox lovers here?

I dreamt of zombies last night. (And no, I haven't seen any zombie movies since I Am Legend, which was Christmas last year. Does Cloverfield or the trailer for Fringe count?) They wore a thin white film over their faces. The white film either came from their mouths when they changed or they grabbed it from somewhere. I can't remember. And the people around me became zombies rather randomly. It was some unknown trigger, but I don't know what, and that lack of knowledge is freaky. But it wasn't really a nightmare. Sure, it was a little scary, with the chasing and the running and the grabbing, but I wasn't really frightened out of my wits. Everything was just white. And green. There were trees and water. But not the murky humid kind. It was more of, ethereal. Yeah, zombies with white faces in a fairytale setting. Brain, what's up?

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter. (I think everyone has done it by now, but if you still want a letter, go ahead.)
2. List 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

breathe_me27 gave me H.

(Just let me know if you want any of the songs.)

Oh Twilight fandom. While I'm not one of the pioneer fans, I like to think of myself as one of the earlier ones, before the fandom exploded with a million pre-teens. I got it for my birthday in February last year, and I brought New Moon a week later. I love the book for the guilty pleasures it offers, the innocence it invokes, and the epic love it represents. Now, maybe it's the hype surrounding RPrattz and KStew, maybe it's the fandom itself, I find Twilight... ridiculous. I've read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn, and my first impression was that it's funny. Cheesy-lame funny, not sweet-cute funny. Maybe I've been exposed to the glittery comments on ONTD for too many times. Before this August, I definitely need to shut off from the fandom (and hatedom), curl up with a cup of iced tea, and recapture the magic of Edward Cullen.

And is this me posting an album with every entry? I don't know. Do you want me to? Perhaps as penance for being missing for almost 6 months? There's just a whole bunch of new releases this year that I really want to share. The Submarines, Nada Surf, The National, The Weepies, The Raveonettes, etc. 2008 is a good year for music. I don't even know what my Album of the Year will be.

I'm been hanging around here, but too lazy to update. Yes, I know. So now, update post!

Got a part-time job to earn cash to spend over the summer. It's an administrative job at a government agency, and it's as boring as it sounds. Currently at work now. The person I'm supposed to be working for/with is on medical leave, so I don't have much to do at the moment. It's kinda easy money, but it's still tiring pulling myself out of bed every morning. I just need to focus on the money. Still, I wish I was doing something more exciting and fulfilling. I pretty go to work to surf the net and read fanfiction.

two;
New phone! Samsung Soul. It's so gorgeous and lightweight and slim and awesome. The changing touchscreen is really convenient, and not too sensitive. And it's easy to create and change themes. Now, what should I name it? (My iPod Touch is Chuck!)

three;
I kinda really want to cut my hair. To this short. I've had long hair for about 6 years now. The length goes towards the shorter side sometimes, but the limit is the shoulder. But I'm terrified of missing my long hair. Hm. Should I, shouldn't I?

four;
I'm still going anime/manga crazy. Watched D.Gray-man and xxxHolic and Gundam 00. Oh, and I kinda love Junjou Romantica. It's so fluffy and adorable. And is still obsessed with Bleach.

five;
Exam results will be released next week. And then I'll have to decide what I want to specialize in, Marketing or Banking and Finance. (I Don't Know. Woe.) I guess a lot will depend on the results.

Damn, I miss LJ so much, but at last, I have returned! I know I said I'll be back sooner, but I've just been lazing around. The weather has been brutally warm. How is my flist? Still having finals?

I'm aware that I've been neglecting this journal since last year, but now that school is done till August, I'm gonna have quite some free time  so I'll definitely be around more. So yeah, I'm gonna start commenting on your entries, pretending that I've been doing so all along (ahem). But, if you're reading this and thinking, who the hell is this person, you are free to defriend me. It's completely my fault for disappearing for so long.

Now, I expect everyone already has a copy of this, but just in case.


I've listened to it a few times, and while some songs sound like their usual style, others are quite different. I think they have come a long way from Transatlanticism, which is a shame because for me, that will always be my favorite album from them. Oh, and What Sarah Said on Plans, that is a stunning song. That is not to say this new album isn't any good. It is. At least, I think it is. I need to listen to it more. So far, I like Your New Twin Sized Bed and The Ice Is Getting Thinner, probably because those two songs are more of their old style. Still, Seth Cohan would be proud.

Also: Supernatural Boss Eric Kripke Spills on Dean's Soul and Plans for Season Four (spoilers!) I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. It sounds awesome. 

activities for tomorrow;

- study for accounting mid-term
- visit the National Museum of Singapore to see the Greek masterpieces from the Lourve currently on display here
- go see Broken Social Scene in concert at the Esplanade

Life is good, except for that stupid mid-term.


other updates;

- new header, tag pictures, and mood theme
- as you can see from the mood theme, I'm still obsessed with Bleach
- that Bleach obsession is getting worse with each passing day
- did I mention I am currently in possession of Bleach plushies?
- erm, anyone wanna talk Bleach with me?

I go out to buy some groceries and 20 minutes later when I come back, the Twilight fandom has exploded all over again. This amuses me very much.

( if you haven't seen them all yet )

Nikki Reed doesn't look half-bad, even though they really need to do something about the hair. I'm thoroughly upset about Jasper though. I always have a soft spot for him, and this Jasper? Erm. But you know, I haven't really found my Jasper yet. I want to put a pretty face on it, but I'm kinda lazy. So who's yours? I STEAL.

Also, actors, please work on your expressions. But hey, Edward, you got the whole brooding look down to your eyebrows, good job!

Also, HAIR. WIG. HAIR.

And erm, aren't the Cullens supposed to have better fashion sense than that?

But I'll be completely honest, it's better than I had expected. Hee.

It's 6am. I haven't slept the whole night. I'm tired, but I don't really want to sleep. You know how that feels like, don't you? (maybe that's the caffeine talking; coffee/tea)

No, I don't really know what I'm talking about either. (or maybe it's the soft soothing korean indie I'm listening to)

Yes, apparently, American and Canadian indie isn't enough for me. I have to go dig into the Korean indie music scene, even though I don't understand a single word or it. Okay, maybe a few phrases I do know, but that's about it. But their indie music is so very pretty, how can I resist? Mostly though, I blame Coffee Prince. It's a Korean drama, a very good one. I'm addicted to it, now in the process of watching it for the second time. Think Twelfth Night, but crazier, wilder, cuter, funnier. Plus, it's about coffee. ♥






6.30am now. Should I even bother sleeping?

FINISHED ECLIPSE (last night actually, but haven't got the time to post about it yet). Review post tomorrow or during the weekend. Flist, I bookmarked all your review posts, will get to it soon.

Re-watched Troy on TV earlier and remembered why I loved that movie so much in the past. Ahh, Achilles/Briseis.

Done my crack_impala's post. A smaller edition than usual. Actually, all the editions have been smaller this entire week. Supernatural fandom, stop wanking, continue writing. You know, someone pointed out that this is our 18th wank. We're legal!

I've been reading posts and comments regarding this, erm, incident, and a few points caught my attention. I know the Harry Potter fandom is famous for its wanks. Given the sheer size of that fandom, it's impossible to avoid. But apparently, the Supernatural fandom is notorious for wanking as well. My question is, really? Is the Supernatural fandom that much worse than your average fandom anywhere else? People in other fandoms, don't you guys encounter these issues too? We're all human, aren't we? What about One Tree Hill, what with their ship wars and Brucas/Leyton nonsense? Stargate: Atlantis? Buffy? Pardon my ignorance, I just rarely venture that much outside my comfort zone right here.

Another question I have, how do non-Supernatural fandom people view those in it? In a few comments, someone mentioned that this type of crazy wank is exactly what kept him/her from watching the show or immersing him/herself in fandom. Are we really that crazy? That prone to freaking out over small issues? Or are people just exaggerating? Or we just unlucky in a way?

Okay, this is making my head hurt. It's 4am and I have classes tomorrow. Grr.
