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 ♥

sideways is uncool #133

so i saw this guy on the bus
this about early 30s
possibly late 20s
asian guy
wearing all fake stuff
(ie. the back of his jacky had a big 'VOGUE' writing on it)
yeah well,
he was wearing his cap sideways.
(like not slightly sideways, pretty much at 90 degrees)
i was thinking,
'what are you like 12?'
to think that's cool
and too top it off the cap had a kangaroo on it
lol.

that's lame.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! #131


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKY!
i love you :)

you're so OLD!
old
old
old

:D





---------------------------------------------



so today, i feel like i've achieved a lot
even though i really have only achieved a little
well, i did finish an assignment from 9 am to 12 pm
even though i was supposed to do it last night
but decided to take a nap at 2am
and woke up at 6am
so proceeded to sleep to 8.30am
THEN woke at 9am to do my assignment.
luckily for me, it was a relatively easy assignment.
one bit was to pretty much write a resume.
so yes.

i also did a presentation/group assignment thing today.
but that was relatively ok.
but i was only worth 2% of my final mark anyway.

yeah, so i managed to do two assessment tasks today.
but i feel like i didn't do much
because i didn't really put much effort into either of them.
lol.

taking jacky out for dinner tmr
can't wait to go eat dessert
;)

♥

p.s. whoever posted on post #129 surprise, thanks. but it was posted as anonymous, so i don't know who are.

#130


i can't wait for exams to be over & done with
can't wait to go on church camp & summit
straight after exams.

i feel a bit burnt out from uni already
i haven't really touched any work for a week
and i'm completely clueless about what we're currently learning.
but this happens pretty much every semester.
meh.

SURPRISE! #129


after a week of organising
and stressing
making sure he had no way of finding out
and preping food
for jacky's surprise party
i would consider today to be a success
besides the fact that
when jacky was just coming
everyone was in panic mode and didn't know what to do
but that was pretty funny as well
:)

and there's just SOOO much food left over
like an insane amount
lol,
funny cos my mum kept telling me i might not have enough food and stuff
but i think thats an asian parent thing
and also,
there was A LOT of salad left over
i think about a fifth of it was actually eaten.
and NONE of the salad dressing bottles was used.
haha.
sigh.
i guess i'll be eating a lot of salad in the coming week.

falafel #128


so yesterday me and jacky went out for lunch
in footscray
and he had bun bo hue
and obviously with that came the vegetables
and there was these vegetables that looked like
alfalfa
now you knwo when you know what it is in your head
but can't quite put your name on it
well that happened
and i ended up saying
"that looks like falafel."

LOL.

#127


so today i was buying stuff
and the chick serving these ladies
well, she wasn't too into it
and wasn't super pleasant
but also, cos they had to split the receipts
and payments or whatever
and then one of the ladies was like
"i don't like your attitude"
and i was just thinking
well, i would get a bit annoyed at that
because i work in retail/customer service as well
and i sort of know what its like
if you work for many hours
obviously you get a bit tired and everything
and you become less into it
and especially when you get really annoying customers
you can't always be super cheerful.

also, the saying 'the customer is always right'
is so not true.
but we can leave that for today.

passion pit tickets on sale tmr!
:)
although the thing i hate about ticketmaster alerts
is that they only tell you about the concert
the day before the tickets are coming out
so theres a bit of a mad rush
for me
the day before the tickets are sold
finding someone to come with me.
usually anyway.

♥

p.s. i made another blog, this one is about more christian stuff that i don't really add in here.
it won't be very theological like jacky's. more of a personal reflection type thing.

hoed #126


found out today that hoed is a word
apparently its the past tense of: to hoe
makes sense
but sounds kinda funny.
used the word today
to make a 49 point score on scrabble
:)

also, i might just say
revlon nail polish is really good
its been over 3 weeks and i've kept my nail polish on
and its in pretty decent condition
considering its been 3 weeks
it looks like how it would look with cheap nail polish
after about 4 or 5 days
i like
:)

age #124



i love this
its so adorable
(i got it off cindy's fb)
but the little girl is so feisty
and a little bit mean
but its still cute nonetheless
but it got me thinking
how much age mattered when you were little
because i remember it mattered a whole lot to me

once i remember, when i was 6
someone's mum said i was 5
and i was like "No! I'm 6!"
as if it really made a difference

but i guess, there is a huge difference between when you're 4 or when you're 6
even though its only two years
even between a 6 year old and an 8 year old
but now there's not a lot of difference really
for say a 20 year old and a 22 year old

also, like when i was young
i went to sunday school
and i remember there were these big kids
and i never used to play with them
because i was scared of them
because 1. they were all boys
2. they were old and big (compared to me anyway)
but the funny thing is that
well, i am friends with them now
and the age/size thing doesn't matter anymore
its a funny thing
about life really.

though
when i was in school
i enjoyed being one of the younger ones of the class
because of the month i was born in
i still enjoy being the 'young' one
even though i'm not really
:)

reflections #123



Originally uploaded by nirrimi

i really quite love this.
probably also cos she has red hair
and if you read regularly
you know i like redheads.
:)
though i wish that the edge of the window
was straight
it ruins the balance of the photo
a little.
and if the edge of the window
was in the centre of the photo.
so then you'll get a good contrast
with half real
and half reflection.
but i like it, nonetheless.

yeah, i haven't blogged a photo in agesssssssss
mainly because i haven't gone onto my flickr account for just as long
because of the 'virus-on-my-computer-and-wiped-out-everything' incident
yeah, long story
but i wish i had more time
to go out and take photos.
i really want a polaroid camera
& a SLR camera
yes.

#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!
