i'm as confused as you are, sir.
something happens here.
something strange and vague and ambiguous and unpredictable and bizarre and odd and bipolar.
clicks above!
how bizarre.
It could be kwokwy, but it's actually VIVIAN!
I am 17, and I try to do art, which sometimes fail in spectacular, self-destructive ways!
Other times, it works out relatively fine, and I am happy for the moment!
I like thinking. Thinking is fun, especially if you're listening to music. You know, nice music.
Being close to someone works pretty good as well, I guess.

i am dazed and confused!
This is where i put all my un-personal items out on display.
If you break anything, you will be forced to pay for it!
Prices start from an ice cream cone cupcake and counting. :)
They sound like the Beatles/Beach Boys, or rather, the Libertines without Carl Barat.
Also, I am happy that searching 'the st' on YouTube brings up the Strokes as the first result.

I have stalked 2 hours in the sun, stood for an hour in the train, and walked for 15 minutes in the tepid evening.
I have acquired the curse of a headache.
I don't know why I care so much. I doubt it's even worth it, at all. Tsk, silly me.
brain fag
Friday, August 21, 2009 11:26 PM
[quote] "Brain fag is an example of a culture-bound syndrome. Once a common term for mental exhaustion, it is now encountered almost exclusively in West Africa. Seen predominantly in male students, it generally manifests as vague somatic symptoms, depression, and difficulty concentrating.[1] It has similar symptoms to the Trinidadian illness studiation madness.
The term "brain fag" was used in the US as far back as 1852, describing an overworked brain,[2] in 1877 to describe mental exhaustion in professionals similar to neurasthenia,[3] and later in 1919 to describe mental fatigue in the elderly.[4] The term 'fag' is believed to have been derived from 'fatigue'. This American usage declined by the 1950s. The modern African usage was first described in 1960. Brain fag occurs most commonly in sub-Saharan Africa.
A Nigerian study in 2002 found that proficiency in English may be a risk factor.[5] In South Africa, another large study found that socioeconomic status, female birth order, and depression were linked to the illness. A possible aetiology may be the "cultural clash" between African and Western societies.[6] Brain fag is generally considered to be a depressive disorder, possibly linked with anxiety disorders.[7]" [/unquote]
Shallow apathy should be Singapore's.

You know, Franz Ferdinand always writes the very same hit single. For every single album. Tsk.
Deceptively slow intro, morphs into dance-punk track, profit!.
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
Still one of the best music videos I have EVER seen in my life.
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To
I heard this from Paradise Kiss! =D
Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses

oh look at what time it is
Thursday, August 20, 2009 9:23 PM
looks like another early morning sleep.
the circus is in town
6:31 PM
the big reveal. THE CIRCUS IS COMING. did you see the latest? the circus - the circus, it's coming? are you sure? it can't be happening, not to our town. as true as your heart leads you, it's really happening. our town, how will it cope? it's never had this happen before. oh? well, rather, it's been a long time. is it a good circus?
anticipation, hopes, wishes. coming, coming, soon. won't you visit the new sweet shop, ma? the circus is coming to town. no, not tonight, dear. the circus is arriving.
fevered prayers, whispered dreams, childish longing. lying awake in bed, wondering how it'll be, will it be as good as anticipated? what if it isn't what i hoped it would be? don't be so pessimistic, it's the circus. the circus always delivers. i sure hope so. it will, won't it?
unanswered questions, fatigue sets in, queries grate on the trained ears. pitch perfect mania of town, folie à deux, imposing or simultaneous. the parents are getting concerned. it's all rather silly, isn't it? the circus; it isn't even that special. yes, the children are getting too excited. they aren't listening to us. what should we do? we wait it out. they'll get over it.
uncertainty, doubt, ambiguity. what if they don't listen to us? what if the whole town goes mad?
burning, burning, burning desire. why won't the circus come? why can't it come sooner? why must it tease us so? why can't it make us happy and come? it'll be so fun, the whole of us, at the circus, if only it came. will it come soon? can't it come earlier?
insecurity of the individual, epidemic, community spread. rumours have spread, things have been said, no one is sure. i heard the circus may be going to another town! aaah! honestly? paranoia, paranoia, the town is burning. HEADLINE: WHAT IF THE CIRCUS MOVES AWAY? i sure hope they don't, the kids will be so heartbroken. will you be sad, if the circus moves away? i... i'm not sure.
hope, blind hope, blind optimism. perhaps it was all a lie, perhaps it was just a voice in the wind, perhaps the circus is indeed coming to town. is the circus really coming to town? really? really really? we can hope. anticipation only serves to heighten the appetite.
THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN. relief, sweet relief, the end of longing and suffering. look, ma, look at those funny men with the long legs. are they daddy long legs, ma? no, you silly boy, those are stilts. oh. i thought they were deformed. pa! pa! look at that clown juggle ten eggs! how funny he is! you'll get bored of it, soon, honey. lions! how exciting! will they eat the trainer? i hope they do! yes, that would be interesting.
and before you know it, the circus is gone. was it as fun as you remembered?
i, uhh...

Like, going to random Wikipedia articles are really fun. :) You can find all sorts of weird shit there. Hehe
Benjamin Kyle CHOICE EXCERPT: "He was found by the managers of the restaurant lying on the ground inside the brick wall enclosing the Burger King dumpsters, in a space between the dumpsters that is accessed by a walk-though used for trash disposal. The dumpster enclosure was behind the Burger King in an area hidden from view from all directions except from the restaurant parking lot. Kyle was badly beaten, unconscious, naked, and covered with red ant bites. Prolonged exposure to the sun had left him sunburned. He was assumed homeless and taken to a hospital for treatment. Officers who searched the scene found no clothes or wallet to identify the man. According to the manager of the Burger King, there were no weapons found at the scene and there was no sign of a struggle. Paramedics reported that there were three depressions in his head, that may indicate blows by a blunt object. When found, he had no memory of who he was, and did not even recognize his own face."
Dancing Epidemic of 1518 CHOICE EXCERPT: "As the dancing plague worsened, concerned nobles sought the advice of local physicians, who ruled out astrological and supernatural causes, instead announcing that the plague was a "natural disease" caused by "hot blood". However, instead of prescribing bleeding, authorities encouraged more dancing, in part by opening two guildhalls and a grain market, and even constructing a wooden stage. The authorities did this because they believed that the dancers would only recover if they danced continually night and day. To increase the effectiveness of the cure, authorities even paid for musicians to keep the afflicted moving."
Funny!
-----------
Roman Numerals (game) CHOICE EXCERPT: " * The word poo must be used instead of I. * The word bum must be used instead of V. * The word dickie must be used instead of X.[1]"
We should play this, sometime. Poo poo poo!
Oh wait, another excerpt: ""Daddy no"
A popular version of this game, invented in Essex, is the same except with the following:
* No is used instead of I. * Daddy is used instead of V. * Don't touch me or Not the wall is used instead of X."
MWAHAHAHA
-----------
A Modest Proposal CHOICE EXCERPT: "Swift appears to suggest in his essay that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies."
Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 CHOICE EXCERPT: "The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A (also pronounced "albin"). Once again, the court refused to approve of the name, citing a prohibition on one-letter naming. Eventually, he was named Albin Gustaf Tarzan Hallin."
Sigh, poor boy. Poor, poor, poor boy.
-----------
Invisible Pink Unicorn CHOICE EXCERPT: ""Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them." — Steve Eley"
Atheists, you hilarious bastards.
-----------
Freedom Tunnel CHOICE EXCERPT: "Since the tunnel is isolated, the artists take their time and create ambitious pieces without fear of arrest. The tunnel has unique lighting provided by grates in the sidewalks of Riverside Park. The shafts of light create a gallery space for illegal artwork. Often, the artwork is centered under the light giving the space the feeling of a chapel or great cathedral."
Singapore should have some of this. How fun it would be. :/
There is only one objective: "Don't think about the Game."
There are THREE simple rules! :D
1. Everyone in the world is playing The Game. (Sometimes narrowed to: "Everybody in the world who knows about The Game is playing The Game",or alternatively, "You are always playing The Game.") 2. Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses. 3. Losses must be announced to at least one person(a statement such as "I lost The Game").
Mwahaha the Game never ends. So, have fun!
P.S: If the British Prime Ministers announces that 'the game is up' on television, The Game is over. Hehe
music without words

This band would actually be really nice to listen to, if the ... sounds she makes weren't so scary.
Thought Mike Patton was crazy? Okay, yes, he still is, but she's ...
Ponytail - Beg Waves
Also, she desperately needs to lose weight and put on a bra. D:

6:18 PM
Either the weighing machine in my bathroom is broken (or biased, whatever) or the nurses at school were just spiting me.
I am now 46.5 kg, apparently, which puts me in the healthy range of near-anorexia.
Of course, the people at school said I was 49.5kg, but that WAS a couple of weeks ago.
Alas, I should fatten up. (But maybe if I get thin enough, I'll be so light that I'll get picked up by the wind and fly with the birds, before disintegrating into the sun) :D
i have suddenly developed a fascination with all things red, white and black

Making the best, and strangest (which are not mutually exclusive FYI), music videos in the business. Honestly, his videos are like a work of art.
Firstly, inventive use of Lego 101!
The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl
Secondly, the art of moving stuff around really fast!
Radiohead - Knives Out
Thirdly, synchronized dance choreography!
Daft Punk - Around The World
Number three part deux, synchronized model town building!
The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar
Fourthly, camera distortion!
The White Stripes - The Denial Twist
Lastly, all of the above!
The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
Did you know that he's also quite adorably dedicated to his craft? He's like a really serious little kid who draws the best pictures ever. THE. BEST. EVER.
Really, the best thing you could do is to just eat each other. I mean, everyone wins!

Drug legalization is such a contentious issue. Really, they should just legalize everything and watch the world burn. I really think they're outlawing drugs as a matter of ego, rather than anything. "HAHA I might not be able to save the economy, but I can sure outlaw the FUCK out of drugs!"
I mean, honestly, it's an open secret. Every rich and famous person uses drugs. Marijuana? Pssh. That's kids' stuff.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF OUTLAWING SOFT DRUGS, FOR GOD'S SAKE?! I could have done with a joint or a hit of something at many points of my life, but, oh no, soft drugs are illegal. Tsk tsk, you shouldn't take drugs, you know. It's BAD for you.
Ethanol and nicotine's fucking legal, aren't they? So is theobromine, the thing which makes chocolate so delightfully decadent. Ah well, who cares that they're considered moderate drugs (harmful in large doses), while marijuana's a soft drug (practically harmless)?
Oh dear, marijuana will turn us into a bunch of hippies. That's really bad for the economy! Of course, then again, someone like Richard Branson's an avid ganja smoker, but OH DEAR MARIJUANA MAKES YOU POOR AND DEAD IN A DITCH
Singaporeans are really good law-abiding people, didn't you know?
POD is irritating, and I need a good doping. :(

I have to say, though, I've never seen anyone ever use a microphone in quite the same way.
That's rather impressive.

I have no idea what to put in here for the time being, but we will deal with it!
Why doesn't everything turn out the way we want it to?
It won't be as fun, of course, but still.
