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 ♥

#121


i realised tonight that
i'm a bad person to drive home.
& i mean it in a way because
i give bad directions.
actually, not bad directions as such
like i know where i'm going
and i am good with directions
but
it stems from the fact that
i get scared that the person driving me will miss the street
or the house or whatever
and because of that i give the direction wayyyy before i should
and so as a reaction
the person, naturally slows down
and drives really slow til they get the the next street
which now takes a very long time to get to
since they slow down.
so yes.
i realise i do that
a lot.

also, quite enjoyed girls night tonight
:)

just so you know #120

my blog title is from a song
Mango tree by Angus & Julia Stone
in fact all my blog titles are from songs.

also,
the writing in the picture is from a song
Lack of Color by Death Cab for Cutie
so yes.

slow day.
not much to say.

i like this though:
(from loldwell.com as usual)



haha.

avatar #119


finallyyyyyyyyyyy, watched avatar tonight
on blueray
it was alright
the effects were awesome
but like,
well i knew what was going to happen
so thats what made it a bit 'meh'

i also came up with a bit of a theory today
sort of relates to above
just so you know
me & emma went book shopping today
so this is how this theory came about.
well,
my theory is
those who like reading prefer better storylines and substance in movies
vs.
those who don't like reading as much like the effects, or don't care about the story line as much
this is generally
and its just a theory.
but it sort of makes sense.

also,
i realise.
i have a lot of theories.

pigeons. risking their lives, day by day. (prose) #118

(technically, this is semi prose, so its true and i saw it today. but i'm writing it in a more dramatic way)

all is quiet,
not a soul in sight.
but there stands a small figure
upon an iron track.
innocently pecking,
finding its daily food.
all is well.
everything is safe.

alas!
here comes a train from a distance,
but the bird, senses no danger
continues to peck for its food.

the train comes closer still,
yet, no recognition from the bird,
not even a flinch.

closer and closer it comes.
still, it continually trots along the track naively.

even closer still, the train is almost there
oh no, dear bird;
please do move away.
oh no, dear bird;
please don't get hurt.
oh no, dear bird;
the train is much too close.

fear sinks into my heart,
as the train is about to collide with the bird.
but joy!
at the last second,
it flies away.
making a lucky escape,
to live another day.

the end.

panic attack #117

had a mini panic attack today
maybe even a full blown one
it was really weird
cos i hadn't really had one that bad before
i usually just get really anxious, or nervous
where my heart races
but its usually just over uni
or exams or whatever
(yeah, my mini breakdowns slash freak outs before exams are quite frequent. just ask jacky)
but this was different
this was like heart full on racing
feeling jittery
and it felt kinda difficult to breathe for a while
and even slightly nauseated
and it lasted like 20 minutes
but no,
it wasn't over uni stuff though
more important stuff.
but still, i have no idea why i had a panic attack over it.
because it wasn't like i was confronted with it or anything.
it was the strangest thing.

hmm.

i cheat. #116

whenever i have nothing to say
i cheat.
i post random videos i like
or
random cartoons
to fill space.

this.
is one of those days.

anyway, the first time i watched this.
this made me laugh so hard.
you've probably seen it already
it was all over youtube.
but its just the fact that
grown men, who are in the army,
so they're meant to be quite 'manly'
grown mean dancing around like lady gaga
makes me laugh.
though the beginning gets boring after a while.
but the best bit was the beyonce bit
where you see their costumes.
HAHA.

jogging bare #115

jogging shirtless when its nearly winter
ok?
or just being a douche?
i say douche
i think there's a special time and place to jog shirtless
that is,
during summer
only if it is really hot
or you're jogging next to the beach
i don't know
jogging just to show off your body seems like such a douche-y thing to do
to me
yeah, i saw someone do that today
and it was around 5 o'clock
meaning it wasn't even hot
but the guy was buff
so i assume he did it to show off
hmm.

BYE!

#114 twilight man

today at southern cross station
i saw
this late 20s maybe even early 30s
east asian (ie. indian/pakistani/bangladeshi) man
with
a
bag
that
had
a
TWILIGHT
photo on it.
this same exact photo:





















lol.
i won't even try and explain why i thought that was weird.
it should be self explanatory.

also,
went to CU friday night social tonight
and had a movie night
we watched this 80s movie called Flying High
(also known as Airplane)
and it was really random
but funny
like things would happen
and i'd be like wth
but its hilarious at the same time
like random things like
putting a plane on 'autopilot' means a blow up doll pilot comes out and flies the plane
and having a drinking problem
was that he couldn't drink properly
instead he splashed the water on his face
random stuff like that.

also, reality tv update
america's next top model: yay, alasia's finalllyyyy out!
survivor: gah, candice why did you switch??
though smart move on russell's part
i'm hoping that something happens to split the villains
before all the heroes get voted out
cos i don't want a villain to win or candice now
so that leaves rupert and colby
but i don't think they'll win
sigh.

ok,
bed now
work tmr.

#113 iron man 2

me & jacky watched iron man 2 today
it was alright
like there was heaps of fight scenes
but i think the fight scenes were too short
and random dialogue/plot bits dragged on for too long

(probably stop here if you want to watch it and you don't want to know what happens
i'm not really spoiling, but just in case)

and also like the final fight scene between iron man & his mate vs the mickey rourke chracter
was way too short
and they beat him way too easily
like the scene ended in like a minute
also, cos i'm very nick-pick-y
there were a few inconsistencies i thought
especially the bit where scarlett johanson 'system rebooted' the guys suit
like, couldn't she just rebooted all the robots as well
since she hacked into the computer anyway
instead of iron man having to fight them all off
i guess it was for effect but anyway
also
when scarlett johanson goes and battles all the security guards
its stupid cos she just jumps on some of them
and they land unconscious on the floor
like seriously?
another thing, immediately after the final fight scene
it switched waayyyyyy too quickly to a romantic scene
it was like he just fought
then pepper and iron man bicker
and kiss
i felt it was a bit strange
i didn't have enough time to get over the fight scene yet.
and yes.
oh and the other thing
but then i guess its a movie,
as if you can go and make your own element
and as if he 'found' the element using the prototype/model his dad had
cos they looked nothing alike.
nothing.

ok, i'm finished.
the movie was alright though
i liked the first one better.

#112 THE OFFICE!

i'm re-starting to watch The Office again
not sure why i stopped
i stopped at the ep, where Jim pushed Michael into the pond
i think i got annoyed that Jim was becoming a bit different
now that he's manager and all
but i LOVE erin
she's currently my favourite
i think she's so funny
:)

but yes, starting to rewatch
also, every single time i watch
i always get so angry
cos i'd be like
"michael, don't do that"
"gah, he did it."
and i always get so anxious about the consequences

also, i've only just realised
its so weird that in the show
pam's the one who takes risks
i mean you wouldn't tell from looking at her
but i mean she
1. walked on the coals, and told jim how she felt
2. she decided to pursure her dream of being an artist, and went to art school. even though she never completed her course.
3. she walked away from her job, just to join michael when he started his own company, even though he didn't know what he was doing.
yes.
odd thing that, because her personality doesn't show her to be a risk taker.

also, back to the erin thing
apart from me really liking her
i'm liking the thing between her and andy
i'm finding it really funny
that they're both just like little kids.

anyway, i'll hopefully be up to date with the season
within a week
i'm about 12 eps behind right now.

BYE!

#111 KICK ASS


watched Kiss Ass tonight
with jacky
i quite liked it
well its in between liking it a lot
but not enough to say i loved it
but yes.
i loved Hit Girl
she's so bad ass
HAHA.
& i loved the end fight scene
as i said
Hit Girl is so bad ass.
also, just realised wher i had seen her from
cos she seemed so familiar
she was the guy's little sister
in (500) days of summer
:)

though i thought it was a bit weird
having Nicolas Cage in it
and also that he was wearing a Batman-like suit
surely he could have come up with something better

also,
the chick that Kick Ass had a crush on
ie. Katie
well, she's the chick from How I met your mother
as in
one of Ted's children















:)
the boy is David Henrie
who's in Wizards of Waverly Palce
which is a disney show
about wizards that i love to watch
cos i like Selena Gomez
she's so funny.
:)

shall go finishing updating other blogs now.
finally finished all my tests.
for now.
:)

32 pp #110

funny story that happened last week
so i was in the library studying for my test
but i also needed some lecture notes printed off
so i wrote instructions for jacky to follow
to help print them for me
and the instructions i wrote to print it 8 pp (ie. per page)
and well the file is already 4 slides a page
but FURTHERMORE
jacky interpretted it as being 8 pages per page
(not 8 slides a page, so it would only be two pages per page)
and so he ended up printing 32 slides on one page
and he came back with it and showed me
HAHAHA.
i couldn't stop laughing.
cos the slides we tiny
and i asked him
how on earth was i going to be able to read that
HAHA.

#109 in constant fear

so the other night
i saw a spider on the wall
and i tried to kill it
but i think it moved too fast
so i only got its legs
and it managed to run away
so well that night i went on a massive search for it
(when i say massive, i don't think it was really that massive, but it felt so in my head)
but couldn't find it
and kinda scared to sleep
i did contemplate sleeping on the couch for a while
but then i decided not too
since i went to bed a few hours later

BUT

i am convinced its still in my room somewhere
cos today i felt SPIDERWEBS next to my desk
and i'm pretty sure they're new spider webs
OH NO!

:(

wig lady #106

i have a few things to talk about today,
so here goes:

1. so today on the train
(which was delayed)
there was this lady
and at first glance
there's nothing wrong really
but then after observing her again
i realise there was something wrong with her hair
it looked like this
her hair was very
lets say
volumous
and all this one brown colour
it also is to be noted
that appart from her hair
she looked quite old
and after even closer inspection
i saw grey hairs underneath
and thats when i realised she was wearing A WIG!
which i found quite funny
cos i'd never seen anyone is real life trying to pull off an actual wig



2. i got results back from this midsem of a subject i'm repeating
and the test was pretty much the same as last years
and i studied beforehand
so how on earth did i do worse than i did last year
wth?
very depressed since i found out.
gah,
i hate this subject so much
i hate you, helen!!
:(
(though it isn't just me, there's an 'un-appreciation' society for her on facebook)

3. on a brighter note
my scholarship got paid through
yay!

4. oh, and jiali
i watched masterchef today
:)
haha.

NIGHTMARE!! #105

last night,
i had the WORST nightmare
i've EVER had
actually to think about it
i've never really had any/many nightmares anyway
i mean reflecting back on what happened
it seems kinda stupid
but when you're dreaming it
the fact that it isn't reality never crosses your mind.
so i was at a train station
on the east side
i don't know, maybe richmond or something
it was night
and i remember the white lights in the station
then some things happened
which i have forgotten what exactly
next thing i remember that
there were these zombies/vampires
(in the dream, i though they were vampires, because they bit people & in the dream, i kept trying to cover my neck. but then after i woke, i realised they were more like zombies, as in the way they walked and looked)
and they're like the type in horror movies
attacking people and stuff
and here's me
stuck on the east side needing to get home
so i get on a train
and i realise there were these zombies on the train as well
and so there was me, geniunely afraid
& wanting to get off the next station
but there seemed to be more zombies in the station so i got back on the train
and i stayed next to this little girl
who was still human
but her mother was a zombie
and the scary thing is because
all this was set in a train
exactly what the train looks like in real life
and you have zombies walking down the eisles
and there's me hoping they won't come near me
and seriously, i was geniunely scared
and i woke up at this point
realising it wasn't real
but i was too scared to go back to sleep
even though i was so tired still.

so yes
that was really bad.
the worst i'd ever had.

ok,
more study now.

bye.

#104

surprisingly, i have not seen any masterchef yet
i mean i love the show
and knowing me
and how much reality tv i watch
its surprising.
but i guess its only been two eps so far
but you know i have tests and things
still another to study for
sigh
i have to listen to another 8 lectures
for my test on thursday
:(

on another note
i really like packet soups
like i used to have them a lot
but i knew they are bad for me
cos of the insane amount of salt in them
but in times of stress/way-too-much-studying
they're the best
ahaha

#103

so i have a test tmr
so i'm going to sleep early
and wake up early
and go to uni early
to study for my test.

wish me luck :)

(on the test i mean, not the sleeping early bit) ;)
