Hello world!
First of all, Merry Christmas to you :D
I'm back. Ok, I've never gone anywhere but I just really don't know what to write down here. My recent blog entries are so boring and tasteless.
I feel like I'm becoming increasingly stupid. Either that or I don't care about politics, economics, the US economy crisis, finance, the 401k, the bailout, tax return, health care. Maybe both. Maybe I'm both indifferent to those issues and I'm becoming more stupid. Heh.
Anyway, I'm trying to keep myself 'smart' these days by reading Times, Details, GQ, Esquire, Wired, Entertainment Weekly, US Weekly, MacWorld, MacLife, and I've just subscribed to Vanity Fair. I used to subscribe to People magazine but I've stopped, I can get what they write in there for free, and that magazine is useless.
This year, my Christmas is weird. It doesn't suck, but it is definitely not fantastic. It's just like any other day to me. Anyway, there's something that makes me really happy, although only for a short time, but it's too personal to write down here.
I have planned for my studies. It's going to be easy, but it's going to be long. The good part is I can set my pace, and the not so good part is there are still many things to finalized. Anyway, it's quite fun to study again.
I think I used "anyway" too much. And my writing style is deteriorating. It lacks varieties and wordplay and structures.
Everyone has someone for Christmas. Not me.
And that concludes this post.
Again, merry merry christmas people :D
love, don =]

Lee Pace

I think Lee Pace is unbelievable.
I was shocked, surprised, intrigued, and totally awed by his acting. It's too good.

coughing

Hello world!
Nod here!
I'm down with coughing these few days!
And I'm going to work in a few hours, hope I can pull through that!
Please pray for me :D
I'm taking a cough syrup that's 3.5% alcoholic! Woohoo!
Anyway, I'm not an alcohol addict. But I really like the way my whole body warm up when alcohol enters me. It's like having fireworks in your spine.
Desperate Housewives Episode 10 of season 5 is so enjoyable. Good storyline, funny, touching, interesting, all the right factors of a good episode. The gay storyline is freaking funny.
However, the lesbian storyline in Grey's Anatomy is so awkward. I feel that they just anyhow squeeze in that theme in Greys to please the LGBT community without putting much thoughts to it. The whole thing is just so under-developed and annoying. Urgh.
And bad news, Pushing Daisies will be cancelled. I think whoever makes that decision is INCREDIBLY stupid. Like upside down, inside out, top to bottom, in-and-out STUPID. Pushing Daisies is a gem of a show, it's so unique and so beautiful and so so so so romantic. Why would they cancel that???
And I have nothing else to write about.
Goodness, I'm so boring.

things that happened today
Hello world, it's me!
Today is weird.
When I went to the train, P smsed me about Thai steamboat at night.
But I had to work at downtown until 6.
So she told me she will pick me up at 6.
A little later T left a message on my phone, telling me that she would pick me up.
AND then the girl who worked with me on Monday called in busy and I had to cover her shift until 9.
SO, I can't go for the outing, and I had to work alone, for 7 hours.
Today is quite a waste.
No Thai steamboat. I can't meet anyone.
The upside is, my customers were really nice today. They tipped a lot.

:D
I had a major depression attack last week, after a birthday party.
I felt like it was all meaningless and I wanted to hurt myself. I lost all purposes.
And I'm proud to say that my depression attack is OVER. I'm back to normal. I don't know really know when but it kind of just went away. Woo hoo.
Anyway, it's quite scary because I haven't been depressed in a really long time. I don't feel sad that often nowadays. So it's scary when depression comes back.
Maybe because I never had a proper birthday celebration. By the way, my birthday this year maybe the worst ever. It sucks. August the first 2008 Sucks with a capital S.
All that aside, it just feels so great to be up and running again.
:D
P.S. By the way, this year, so far, I'm medication-free. Yay!

television
Smallville is getting really good these days. The storylines are more interesting. The directing, the filming, everything is getting more innovative...
Ah, screw it. It's getting good because KRISTIN KREUK is BACK.
Only for one episode though. Boy, she looks quite different, but still gorgeous.
Anyway, still, Smallville is getting good.
On a different note, Pushing Daisies is the most romantic, beautiful, best best best best show on earth. It is SO beautiful. And the soundtracks of the series are the best ever, they are all orchestral music. It's an absolutely perfect show.
And I am such a loser to burn my life in these shows.
But who cares :D
I love television. It's a haven for creativity and a perfect hideout from the boring day-to-day life.
By the way, I like Tina Fey. She's unique.
I think my posts are getting so disconnected these days.
:D

update
Pushing Daisies is the best show on earth.
Desperate Housewives is getting so boring.
And Heroes is getting seriously disgusting and lengthy and pointless.
Gossip Girl is a yawn fest.
David Archuleta's album is bad.
Taylor Swift's album is cute.
Beyonce's album is fierce and really catchy. She's so pretty.
And I think I should not love anyone. I'm not good with that. Never was and never will be.
But the person is too perfect.

PLEASE VOTE
Hey everyone, please vote for the new president!
If I were a US citizen, I would totally vote.
And my choice would be OBAMA. I would like to bring the US army back home safely. I would vote for OBAMA because he is the HOPE. I would vote for OBAMA because he would bring PEACE. I would vote for BARACK OBAMA because he is a true American. I would vote for BARACK OBAMA because he loves America.
And most importantly, I would vote for OBAMA because he is a dad, a husband, an african-american, and he CARES for you and me.
=D
So please Vote!
By the way, this video is totally awesome. You meet ALL THE STARS you can think of in this photo. It's so funny, even though it's an appeal to vote.

tv shows
Have you watched "Gossip Girls"?
I think it's trash. Actresses are mumbling the whole way through. Chuck Bass is supposed to be a womanizer but he is SO NOT hot. The storyline is bumpy and slow and uninteresting. Relationships in that show is oh-no. I don't even know what's the point of the show.
The only good thing about the show is the fashion. The clothes are impeccable, except for Chuck Bass's clothing (which is trashy).
Why isn't it canceled yet?

hello world
I hate the fact that I lost my birthday database. Well, I don't know what's that really call but by "birthday database" I mean the entire calendar with everyone's birthday on it.
I think one of the my close friends is mad at me. And I really don't know why. Please forgive me/ talk to me if it's bugging you, give me a chance to know what I did wrongly!
I had a bad day today. I had a headache. And I hate it when that happens.
But I really am thankful for what God has blessed me. I really am!
I miss my friends......

life is short
I am suddenly struck by reality!
I only have around 40 years with my parents!
I only have around 50 more years to live!
I really don't want to think how many years my grandma will still be there to answer my calls whenever I call her!
I only have around 40 years to show appreciation, love and care for my parents!
And I think I should do that early. Now.
I have been wasting too much time focusing about myself!!!!
When I think that I have 50 more years to live. I think that's so freaking long.
But to think that I have only 40 years to see my parents around, I think that's a REALLY short time.
Time seems so short when you want to be around the people you love, doesn't it!
And that's why my last year in Singapore seemed like a second. There were so many friends I came to know and love. But it all happened so fast, I left without a proper goodbye, even to the friends at the airport.
And I really don't want to say farewell to anyone ever again.
and I'm sorry, I love you, my friends!

I'm really hard to please
Ok. I have just realized that you know. Like seriously.
You know. When I look at everyone's photos, their eyes are ALWAYS reduced to a thin line whenever they smile, especially in candid photos. That means they are truly happy.
But not me. In photos, my eyes are always open. And when I try to smile (when I'm actually not happy inside), my eyes are always open.
But then, sometimes when something that was really funny cracked me up, I laughed myself off and I cannot see anything.
SO. It means when I'm really happy, my eyes do reduce to a thin line.
And which means, most of the time, I just pretend to be happy. Like fake laugh. Posed laugh. And then I check myself in reality. It turns out to be true. Whenever I laugh with a customer. It is ALWAYS fake. I just tried to be cheerful, light their days up, set an upbeat note. But that's it. All is customer service, all is fake.
And yah, I am not easily amused.
And when I think back of my entire 3 years in Singapore. I can only remember 3 incidents in which I was truly happy, and amused, and I guess my eyes were reduced to a thin line during these three events:
1) When the cockroach flew into my room. It was a really fun incident which I remember the most in my three year of hostel life.
2) Whenever Nicole talks.
3) Whenever a particular choir girl talks. I don't know her personally and I don't talk to her much so I cannot reveal her name here. But she is small, and her mannerism is really funny. She's real friendly too.
But that's about it. I cannot remember anything that's so funny that has happened to me.
Only Ellen DeGeneres can really crack me up. She is REALLY funny. And my eyes reduce to a thin line whenever I watch her show. Cos that's when I truly laugh.
I really hope I can be more upbeat/easier to please. I want to be a person whose eyes are small in photographs. I want to truly laugh all the time.
I want to be true. I don't want to force myself. I don't want to fake.
And I don't want to be so lonely!
