You Know You're Obsessed when...

Currently Listening To: Kings of Leon - Manhattan


...you repeatedly check something again and again, even though you can't do anything about it yet.

You know you're obsessed when you sit around thinking about that particular 'thing'.

You know you're obsessed when you actually DREAM about that said 'thing'.

That's right people, I am officially obsessed with Facebook games!

And no, I'm not kidding when I claim to have dreamt of Restaurant City (a game in Facebook, obviously).

No I wasn't in the game, I dreamt that I was PLAYING the game. Stupid, but true.

Restaurant City is not the only game I'm playing.

The incredibly long list includes Blackjack, Solitaire, a weak attempt to try out Poker, some lame ass game called Sorority Life, the incredibly silly Pet Society, the pointless Farmville...

Wait, there's more - there's also Mousehunt, Ghost Trappers, Mafia Wars and even Vampire Wars (I think most people gave up on this one).

Because of this unhealthy obsession, I think it'd be better if holidays end faster.

Otherwise I'd be glued to my laptop all day long. Except when I'm watching something. And that's not healthy either!

Remind me to tear myself away from the laptop long enough to enrol for my next semester...

I is no good =[

Currently Listening To: Kalafina - Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete yuku


I've always prided (is that the right word?) myself for having a decent command of English, but lately I've been feeling a little less...certain about it.

There are times when I'm typing a sentence, and I'm thinking "Omg this IS or this ARE?" and that's like what, basic grammar? Gosh. And here I am going all 'AHHA someone needs grammar lessons!' and all that. (Talk about having a big ego huh?)

Gone are the days where my essays are returned to me without a single grammar mistake.

*whines*

(There goes that ego again urgh!)

Then again I don't get my essays back anymore so I don't really know, but I'm 99% sure I've made some major 'This are my chicken!!' moments.

Okay I'm not trying to boast here! I'm feeling really lousy and insecure about my grammar =( Please don't laugh at me, or think that I have this gigantic swollen head for being totally egoistical about my English.

(On second thoughts I think you should haha.)

I've triple-checked this post for my grammar, and I don't think I've made any major omg-your-grammar-stinks mistakes. But I'm not sure!!! =(

*sobs*

Farewell to a Legend

Currently Listening To: Yui - Again


I’m sure everyone knows this by now – Michael Jackson died last Thursday, cause of death still apparently undetermined though.

Most probably drug overdose, it’s the only thing that makes sense.

May you rest in peace MJ, you’re finally free from all that crap.

I feel sorry for him you know...as weird as he may seem be to most of us, he was one troubled, misunderstood guy and he really didn’t deserve a lot of the things he had to deal with. A victim of circumstances, I suppose. That and the fact that he was (is?) famous, and he couldn’t handle the fame.

It’s so sad when people judge him without actually knowing him personally. It’s sad and disrespectful. I mean c’mon, dude’s already dead, give him a break!

Sigh.

R.I.P Michael Joseph Jackson (1958 - 2009), your fans will always miss you.

-x-

I promised the NZN manager/boss/whatever that I’ll help her out tomorrow (30th, 30% off on all packed ice creams) so yeah...I’m working.

I’ve been trying to finish off Gundam 00 but I can’t seem to concentrate on it. There’s way too much conversation and way too many Saji/Louise moments. Every time I see them I feel like screaming.

G00’s version of ‘SEED Mode’ aka Innovator ‘power’ kinda stinks too. There’s nothing lamer than random characters possessing random, strange abilities. On the bright side I’ve never felt so delighted to see certain characters die. Talk about good riddance to bad rubbish.

To think that G00 season 2 started off so promisingly...I’m seriously disappointed. Enough of the gundam series, I’m so skipping the next one.

Hopefully I can finish this off by tomorrow!

Another Word For Unreliable?

Currently Listening To: May'n - Infinity


Omggggggggg my line's finally back!
Can't believe I've survived one whole week without the Internet.
...
Then again I did go online using my phone so uh...I cheated a little :P

Anyway I'm just glad that it's back!
The whole process (long story, don't feel like explaining) was only suppose to last for 3 to 5 days but instead it dragged on to 6 days. Seriously, the Streamyx staff are a bunch of idiots. Now that my line's back, the phone ain't working. Any ideas what's wrong with it?

-x-

It's been a week since exams ended, and mostly I've been doing nothing.
Lame huh?
At least I finished off Kuroshitsuji!
But that's about it...
What am I gonna do for the next 3 weeks????
Sigh.

More About Music

Currently Listening To: Empire of the Sun - Standing On The Shore


You know what, I really should just turn this blog into a music blog, since that seems to be the only thing I talk about. Call it an obsession or whatever, but I don't think I'll be able to live without music. Yeah, music rocks!~

Anyway, I've been listening to White Lies and Empire of the Sun a lot lately.
Fairly unusual stuff, if you're not into/tired of mainstream music, do check these guys out! White Lies will be touring with Coldplay soon too (or maybe they're already touring now), so good exposure for them. And I'll have to admit this, I'd take White Lies over Coldplay anytime.


White Lies's latest single

However, White Lies seems to have an obsession with death and other morbid stuff. Seriously, that's the only thing they sing about! Especially the song Unfinished Business, if I understand the lyrics correctly the song's about the dude's girlfriend killing him and yet he's still pining for her or something. Get it? Unfinished business? =P

And I love Jason Mraz's Lucky too, awesome song.



Utada Hikaru has a new single, and it's an English song. I think she should stick to Japanese songs. So much better than her English stuff. Her new single, Come Back To Me (apparently written by her father) reminds me of Mariah Carey's We Belong Together. I don't hate the song, but I don't really like it either.


(Can't find the official video on youtube)

~~~

*start rant*

Sigh, every time I hear Kris Allen's No Boundaries on the radio I change the station immediately.

Why, you wonder?

Well, I blame Hitz.fm for that!
Thanks to that stupid poll in their website, I now hold a grudge against Kris's version of that song. I'm sorry Kris, I really don't have anything against you.

Truth is, I can't stand No Boundaries. But Adam made that song tolerable for me (the official single I mean, not the god awful finale performances).

So to take off Adam's No Boundaries from the playlist, that just...pisses me off.
I may have voted for Adam in that poll but I really don't want them to remove Kris's either so don't get mad at me Kris fans.

Damn you Hitz! I'm so over you, it's all Fly.fm for me from now on.

*end rant*

Phew, glad to get that off my chest...lol.

Fly Time, Flyyyyy!

Currently Listening To: White Lies - Unfinished Business


You know how time crawls when you want it to fly?
Well time sure is creeping by slowly for me.
To quote Shakespeare (out of context but whatever),

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day..."


Seriously, I just can't wait for Monday to be over!
Just one more paper and I'm done.
And after that, one month for me to rot away in a teeny tiny dark corner or something. That's better than exams anyway!

The three papers I've already sat for did not um, go that well. To sum it up, I'm screwed.

Like totally screwed.

I don't wanna do the same boring old subjects again! =(

Please just let me pass everything so I can move on to even more horrible subjects.

Please please please!~

Countdown

Currently Listening To: Empire of the Sun - We Are The People


4 days

That's all the time I have left for studying.

On the bright side, after the finals I have two weeks off.

Haven't been sleeping well for the past 3 to 4 days...terrible case of imsomnia.

Can't wait for it end!

-x-

If you've been watching Channel V, I'm sure you would have noticed a very um, unusual video by this band called Empire of the Sun. For some odd reason I'm addicted to that song now!

The song has this 80's feel to it, and well, the video's weird so check this out:




I guess the song's not for everyone, unless if you're into electro-pop stuff =P

Plurk
