hi! i'm als & this is my blog.

i write about random things.
these days i write pretty sporatically.
sometimes i completely rave about something, like a tv show but sometimes i write pretty serious things.
i write in short phrases, i like the freedom of not having to write in proper punctuation and grammar.
i'm a christian. i also ♥ music, art, photography, movies, tv & books.

hope you enjoy ♥

distractions.


Originally uploaded by jen halski

this is cute ♥

so currently, i'm stuck up at 4 am doing an assignment
though
i know this is clearly my fault for not knowing what i was supposed to do until today
instead, i kept getting distracted.
and even though i said i will try hard this semester
i feel like i'm even more behind than last semester
its that
or this semester is going way faster than last

booo!

p.s. will post better/more interesting blog later. as in tmr.

f cup cookie?







i hardly need to say anything
the ad says it all.

i wonder who will actually buy that.

scientifically,
you can't specifically target to put weight on a specific area without affecting others
if you put wight on one
you put weight on your whole body.

the poor women that will be fooled.

LOL.


loveyouall♥

basterds.

so i saw inglourious basterds on monday with jacky
i really really liked it.
and for me especially, cos i was so proud that i could understand quite a lot of the german dialogue without the subtitles
:) :)
my german still hasn't died yet

oh, and throughout the movie
i kept going
"oh, i've seen that guy before. who is he?"
and it happened like 3/4 times
and it annoyed me cos i kept thinking about it
i remembered though during the film
turns out they're from all the german stuff i've watched
so i'll mention them to you :)
Daniel Brühl
so to all of my german buddies
and those who came to german club with us
he was in The Edukators and he played Jan
and also, if you've seen Goodbye Lenin!
he played Alex in that as well



Gedeon Burhard
he is the second Kommissar Rex (Inspektor Rex) guy
he played Bradtner
and he was my favourite out of all of the agents
(well, maybe i liked the first guy too, Moser, but the third guy was crap with that girl as his partner)
defs the best looking though, out of all the agents
:)

and the other two
Eli Roth and Til Schweiger
i still have not figured out where i have seen them before
but the look SO familiar
and i looked at their list of movies
and they haven't been in anything i've seen
hmm?

another thing i wanted to say
Eli Roth
he looked like a friggin male model in the movie
he gave off this Zoolander/Bruno look
it was quite funny





























also, B.J. Novak
Ryan from The Office was in it too
and i don't understand why
he's just not tough looking like the rest of the Basterds
its just doesn't work

and one last thing
i kept having trouble spelling their 'inglourious'
cos it has an extra 'u'
and its strange cos the lose the 'u' in the rest of their spelling
like color or favorite
(as opposed to colour & favourite)
odd.

anyhow,
thats my little spiel on the movie

wait, oh one last thing
there's this scene after they introduce the director and his wife
that scene was just so unnecessary and i have no idea why it there.
yes s if you watch that movie, look out for the scene
i think, you'll know what i mean.

sweet dreams are made of these


sweet dreams are made of what?
i've always wondered
the lyrics don't really say
because after that its
who am i to disagree
i travel the world on the seven seas
everybody is looking for something
hmm?
i do like the song though.

anyhow,
so i was wondering today
why
when you are deep into your dream
does everything seem so real
and you think you are in reality
even when the most absurd things happen
i guess you don't think you are in reality
but you don't recognise that you are in a dream
so this morning, i had a dream
that i was on a bus and that somehow i could connect a landline phone
and for some reason i decided to call my lecturer
and i just remember saying something random
(i don't remember what though)
then hanging up
it never occurred to me that
1) how on earth can you connect a landline phone on a bus
2) how did i get the lecturer's number
3) WHY i would call my lecturer
and the funny thing is
was that i didn't wake up going
oh well yeah i knew it was a dream
it was more like
oh thank goodness i didn't call my lecturer
bahahaha

i show i really really like
is called The Guild
i find it so funny

just youtube it
and its not hard to watch
like each episode is around 5 minutes
:) :) :)

GOODBYE!

redorange



Originally uploaded by nappkin

i've mentioned this before
but i really do like red heads
if i was caucasian
i'd dye my hair red/orange
cos they're all really pretty
:)

oh and i also want to buy an orange/red dress
i think its such a bright and pretty colour
:)
i don't want to wear black or grey anymore
i want to wear colours
but colours don't go with winter
colours definitely go with summer though
:)

asian.


you know what i find funny
asians eating spaghetti with chopsticks
:)
some girl was doing that on the bus the other day
and i'm pretty sure it was bolognese
haha

oh and why is the spinning table in chinese restaurants called a 'lazy susan'?
i have wondered that for a very long time

also, i wish i had longer eyelashes
:(
i bought a heated eyelash curler yesterday
it curls my lashes much better
but the curl effect doesn't look that great cos my lashes as short
stupid asian genes :(
and also cos some asian parents (i.e. my mother) thinks that if you cut them they will grow longer
i remember her cutting them twice in the period f my childhood
she must have stopped the second time when she realised it doesn't work
but
the damage had already been done
sigh
stupid asian mother myths.

following on from this
why do a lot (all) asian parents believe everything they read
as long as the info is backed by a "doctor"
it is quite infuriating

i shall be gone now.
(haha, that sounds so funny)

lots&lotsoflove♥

hot pink.


Day one hundred and three.
Originally uploaded by celestephotography

this is such a cute photo.

oh, so my dad came back from china this morning
and in the process i was woken up this morning like three times
so i'm very sleep deprived
oh and i also asked my dad to buy me a new camera
i like the camera except for one thing
why on EARTH did he by me a PINK camera?
just because i'm a girl doesn't mean i like hot pink things
i haven't asked him about this yet
since he was asleep when i got up
but i will.
nah, but the cameras, not bad
not as thin as my old one
but it has a cool pattern thing at the front.
and its a samsung.
yeah the fact that its hot pink, i don't like
cos i'm not that type of girl
hmph.
oh well.

ok off now

ciao!

clash


i hate it when:
things you really really wanted to go to
and was looking forward to since the beginning of the year
end up clashing
grr!
the cu ball is on the same night as the pharm ball
boo!
i guess i will go to the pharm ball
but its also so much more expensive
i dunno
?

i've been drinking A LOT of green tea lately
is i really that good for you
cos i'm not sure
though i guess so
cos its in one of the multi vitamins that we sell at the pharmacy
but i don't really feel any different
hmm

oh and one last thing
i really really really dislike the brand GUESS
especially the last two advertising campaigns
what's with the MASSIVE wonderbra pushed up to the neck boobs
and supertight tops
and midriff
and what is with the love heart on the boob
like seriously
in BOTH the ads
its definitely not appealing to girls
i don't think
but then i never really liked guess
ever since they had paris hilton as their face for a while
hmph.

ok night

toodles!

music of the moment

music that i have been listening to a lot lately:


sarah blasko - as day follows night
i bought this the very first day that it came out, i swear i was probably the first person to buy it at jb on chapel. they had to go to the back and get it for me and it wasn't priced or anything so the person had to get the price for me and everything.
so for this album, i really do like it. compared to the last one (What the Sea wants, the Sea will have) it explores darker, not really darker but deeper themes, but at the same time its actually lighter (though not as light as The Overture and the Underscore). i thought the last one musically was much heavier and this agrees with the fact that i've read she stripped down with the instruments this time.



La Roux
i really really love her music. its an upbeat electronica, and she sort of sounds like Little Boots. but in my opinion better (though i really do like New in Town). what i mean is that though she has an awesome backing electronic beat, her singing brings the songs together, like she doesn't really rely on the beat as much as others would/do. and she also still puts emotion into her singing.
my fav song of hers is Tigerlily, also theres this bit where there's the man speaking, it reminds me of Thriller.




Phoenix -Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
i do really love them. i love love love the song 1901, but yeah i also hear this song a lot in stores and stuff. like in general pants, even in sims supermarket (isn't sims just so super awesome, i'll tell you more reasons why sims is super awesome later).






other mentions:


the noisettes
i haven't heard that many of their songs, but i really love their song Don't upset the rhythm.





the bird and the bee
i heard their songs before and quite liked them (i particularly liked their BeeGees cover How Deep is Your Love). but a song i've been listening to on repeat is Love Letter to Japan, i love the song :)



oh and also Regina Spektor, but i've mentioned that already.

another band i wanted to talk about is The Dead Weather
who they are is basically Jack White from The White Stripes
Queens of the Stone Age
guitarist Dean Fertita
the Kills' Allison Mosshart
and Jack Lawrence from Raconteur.
on paper they should be massively awesome
since they do come from really successful great bands
but for me collaboratively, i find them very very underwhelming.
its not interesting and i don't really feel it at all.

ok. thats my spiel for now.

LOVE.
