Implement these rules!

Had a rather sleepless night the day before because my fan wasn't working and my air conditioner was blasting the sixteen degrees it used to. My family thinks I'm crazy to sleep with both a fan and an air conditioner blasting that low temperature, that they think that they should ship me off to Antarctica.






Anyway, woke up and out I went. Did some things, and caught up with Cheryl and YiLing at causeway point. In fact, I was the earliest! We settled for late Lunch followed by catching the movie: Twilight.





I wasn't really enjoying the movie because half of the screen was blocked by a guy who sat too high in his seat. And what could get better when you have that, and a group of people who keep kicking your chair from behind? And one of the guy actually stepped on my hair. Can you imagine how high his leg was? Indecent assholes who need to "air" their "treasures" so much that they need to lift like how my dog pees.


But the movie wasn't so bad. I was kind of disappointed because the movie lacked action that most Vampire movies had. And I think the lead actress, Kristen Stewart, looks alittle like Emma Watson(Hermione) from Harry Potter.










But I think the lead actress should be played by a hotter girl, maybe like Megan Fox?





And the lead actor can stay, or, he can be replaced with Channing Tatum, Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom.













Okay, maybe too much on the "trying to be Director".


Anyway, after the movie, we parted and I made my way to Shahirah's home to pass her "Christmas Gifts". Hahah, a pity there were any "Cards". (Inside Joke)


We did some catching up and shared some touchy stuff that were close to our hearts. I knew we both were aching deep inside but time did not permit for us to chat any longer, and so she left for home, while I headed to my mum's workplace to have supper with her.


And while searching high and low for places(most of them were closed!) to have supper, and my mum's late dinner, I discovered the secret to making my family's Life so short.


Well, while walking around, we were making fun and grumbling at the same time, or irritating things that obstructed our paths.


I'm not going list the whole conversation from Marsiling to Admiralty, then to my school's coffeeshop, then to Thriple Eight, then back to Drive Sixty One. No, instead, I am going to list the types of laws that should be implemented immediately. And of course, I do seek for your support!


Kethlyn's Laws. Hahah.

1. Ensure that there is enough space for Cyclists and Pedestrians while crossing the road. What I suggest: Draw a line on the road so that cyclists are separated from Pedestrians. This makes crossing much more safer as this would reduce the risk of collision between Kan Chiong spiders, the elderly, and untamed kids.
2. Ensure that the bells on the bicycles are used for the right reason. What I suggest: Teach people that the bells are used as a warning to say that there is a bicycle nearby, not a warning to say "Oi, Siam leh!".
   
3. Ban people from cycling on Pedestrian Paths. It is really irritating as there are still many people who do not understand the proper function of the bell on their bicycle. And it is really sickening to hear the bell ringing at you non-stop for you to move it, when it is actually them who needs to move! Afterall, it is the Pedestrian Path! What I suggest: allow Pedestrians to carry sticks and trip the cyclists who are on the Pedestrian Paths by sticking the stick inbetween the wheels of the bicycle. If you can ban chewing gum, you can ban cyclists who can harm our aging population, as well as our future generation by langa-ing on them.
4. Ban people from walking on pathways (with people coming from both directions) in twos(especially couples) or more. What I suggest: Have a traffic police to fine those who do not follow the law. This not only increases the traffic police's income, but also allows more people to get jobs (as there are alot of places to be taken note of) thus, boosting the country's economy!
5. Ban people from bringing strollers in crowded areas like the market, MRTs and Buses (during peak hours) and definitely in Pasar Malams. What I suggest: Fine them! More job for Traffic Police!
6. Cyclists have to get off their bicycles when passing through these areas : Pasar Malam, Bus Stops, Roads in which they want to cross and T-junctions on pathways. What I suggest: a. Fine them! More jobs for people! Or b. Allow pedestrians to carry sticks with them, so that they can trip those inconsiderate asses.
7. Have people inform others of sudden stops. What I suggest: The person should stretch out both hands on either side, to tell the surrounding people that he/she is going to stop 5 seconds after he/she does it. This is definitely useful as it prevents people from colliding with one another, having to cause the "Domino Effect" to everyone near them.
8. Have people informed of Sudden Turns. What I suggest: The person should stick out one hand (in which the direction he wants to turn to) 5 seconds before he turns. Causes same effect as above (7).
9. Ban people from putting their hands on their hips. To the ladies, have you ever felt the pain when an elbow jabs you hard in the chest, just because you were trying to squeeze past that person? I sure have, and it hurts alot! What I suggest: Fine the person who does not obey this law. The person can only put his/her hands on his/her hips only when there is no one within a radius of 5m.
10. Ban people from standing in the middle of pathways. What I suggest: Allow people to push them away only if they are teenagers. For the toddlers or elderly, we guide them to one side of the path. And to the adults, we fine them for setting such a bad example!

That's all that my mum and I had talked about.


I do seek for your support!

Quiz!

Found this off of YiLing's blog. I was curious enough to do it, and my results were pretty... true. I fear disappointment.



I think you guys should try it too, and see if it really tells of what you are indeed afraid of.


Here's mine.

What is your True Fear? Your Result: Disappointment You are a fun-loving, energetic, and cheerful person. You love adrenaline rushes, and going out at night. You constantly have to be having a great time to feel completely happy. Your biggest fear is not having anything to do, or having a huge disappointment/let down in your life. You hate being sad, and if something in your life suddenly went wrong it would be extremely hard for you to deal with. Just remember that everyone has to deal with hard times. Stay strong, and pretty soon your fun, party life will get right back the way it used to be.

Irritating

One thing good about living in my flat is that it is really convenient. There's buses, the MRT station is just opposite my flat, there's a taxi stand at the MRT station, and there's three vending machines under my flat.


But after living here for 7 years, I realized that there are much more cons than pros in living in this flat. Well, to make it more direct, in my home. Well, we do have very inconsiderate neighbours who live a floor above us. They drill things, drag chairs and play with marbles at the oddest period of time in the day; at night. And when we go up to their flat to talk to them nicely, they never open the door.


Another issue about this neighbour is that they always write wrong addresses to companies, putting it as our unit, instead of theirs. And we always get their bills, and advertisements from these various companies. We were kind enough to put the letters back into their letterbox. But time and again, the letters come back to us, so much that we have given up doing the good deed or returning it to them. We either return to sender, or we simply throw it away.


The next issue is that despite the convenience, it's really irritating sometimes when you live so near the road. There's the irritating Motorbikes on the road with the deafening sounds. Then there's the frequent honk from the MRT. And there's also the every-minute message about standing behind the yellow line, and warning of not eating and drinking and so on. And not forgetting the road constructions that can last up to 11 or 12 in the middle of the night. The drilling, and screeching of metal makes it teeth-grinding.

The last issue, is about performance. Staying so near the Admiralty MRT station is bad because there are spaces big enough for Getai performances. Some songs are nice, with the lights and stuff, but having it to last till 11pm at night, can make one think twice about living in my flat.

And to make matters worst, there's an RC under my flat. And they do have the monthly or a few months get-together, where they will barbeque, and perform, singing Hokkien songs, singing their hearts out.

Don't get me wrong, RC members should have the opportunity to unwind, because it's thanks to their hard work that our papers get recycled every Sunday.

But having to hear vocally challenged people singing their lungs out from 4pm to 10pm is simply, unbearable. You feel like throwing shit down at them, but when you walk out to take aim, the heavenly smell of barbecue calms your nerves down.


Damn.





*Updated.

I'm happy, because I finally managed to dye my hair back to dark brown!


But I've been having the stomach flu for a couple of days now, I hope it doesn't affect my Christmas mood!


But on a happier note, I'm no more a lion!

Spring Cleaning

I know it's kind of a wrong time to do Spring Cleaning, with Christmas being only FIVE days away. And it doesn't make things any better, knowing the fact that I have not bought any gifts for anyone whatsoever. But heck, can't we celebrate Christmas without presents? Hahaha, just you, me and FOOD.


Anyway, back to the spring cleaning. Well, I didn't really spring clean the entire house, nor did I clean my entire room. I just did a portion of my room. And despite throwing two filled thrash bags, my room looks the same, worst in fact. I guess that's what happens when you're not doing it completely.


Well, I was clearing off my Secondary One and Two books, yes the old ones. And I must say, I did scribble alot of nonsense on ALOT of papers! There were doodles, drawings, and even "THIS IS SO BORING" signs on papers.


And I found some treasures! Well, not real treasures, but ones that I'll remember for a long time. I didn't take any photos of them except one.


Well the first one, was kind of an obsession. I used to be drawn to Gothic fonts, the decorative types. And I would design the same fonts in Gothic style whenever I can. There were projects, where I did the presentations on construction paper, with the fonts of course. Then there were science projects, where I did "LIGHT" and actually had the font done in Gold Gothic fonts. And there were many others. It was a tedious work but I really liked doing it, so no complains.


Then I found my Home Econs file, and I finally understood why my teacher didn't like me that much. I wrote all the wrong Vitamins and their purposes. And my sewing was atrocious. I kinda' feel bad for monkeying around back then. But it was still fun, because all I did in her class was iron clothes for others, and take ribbons, ALOT of them. But I would like to add, that I am definitely better at sewing than back then. Hahah.


Next up, I found my Art pieces. I showed some of them here in my blog. And I guess Art was my best subject, I never failed it, and never gotten Cs before. I'm not bragging, just proud that there's at least one subject I was good in. But unfortunately, it wasn't offered when I went to Sec.3. Oh well, Art was also another obssession. I loved vectors, and mystical creatures. I loved shading flowers and always had a little man in my art pieces, whether it was relevant or not. He had to be spotted, he was either in a parachute, flyign down with an umbrella, or sliding down some curve. But I guess the reason why I enjoyed Art class the most, was because I felt free, I could draw anything I wanted, based on how I interpreted the title of each drawing.



And last, I found my literature file! Literature class was really enjoyable, but one class I remember the most was when we were tasked to draw the "After" look of Johnny or PonyBoy from the story "Outsiders". I'll upload the photo of the "after" Johnny that I drew. It's was really disgusting! The guy had elf-like ears, two ponytails, a beard, snob flowing down his nose, and flies flying above his head! Hahah.



Oh, and I found the "Anti-Twit"pledge that Syuh, Raudah and I made! Fret not, I'm long over the Anti-Twit thing, and I'm sure the rest are too. But boy, looking at the names, the reasons, the pledge, and how to spot them, everything was so damn hilarious. This is definitely going to be in my cupboard for a long time, I don't think I'm going to throw it away. Hahhaa.







Any idea on what to get for friends? It's been awhile since I did hardcore shopping, so I'm kinda' stuck. Help?

Part 3

Part One can be found here, while Part Two, can be found Here!


"Okay, time is up! Stop writing and hand in your scripts!" Mrs Jones walked down each row of the students seated in the classroom, glaring at whoever who did not stop writing.

"Jo! Put your pen down, or else you will get a big fat ZERO!" Mrs Jones smacked Jo on her hand, which caused her pen that she was holding, to fall onto the floor.


"BITCH!"

"Now Jo, I have never seen you so engrossed in your work, but do keep in mind that I will reward you no extra time just because you ARE doing your work", Mrs Jones said in a rather disdain manner, as she collected the scripts. She headed back to her desk and began counting them one by one.

Well, it was true that it was the first time Jo was so engrossed in her work. Jo never liked doing her work and would often chance at the opportunity to skip class or pretend to be sick. You see, Jo's name was actually Josephine. She, unlike most girls, never wore dresses. She had shiny black hair that was cropped and spiked. She wore chains as belts, baggy pants, boxer shorts, cuffs and worn-out gloves. People often mistook her for a boy, but she didn't mind, because she always liked the "tough" look.


Jo was breathing fire. She banged her fist hard on her desk before leaving the class. This was the first time that Jo did do her work, and as much as she hated to admit, she really liked how free-willed she could express her thoughts and emotions in her essay. But she hated how she did not have the time to complete it. And one reason to why she actually did try to finish her essay was because of Mr. Petes. He was the Principal and he told her that she had to pass at least English if she wanted to Graduate by the end of the year.


Jo hated feeling pissed, and so, decided to head to her usual hangout to cool down; the basketball court. She saw a couple of her friends who were having a match over there, and thought about joining them.


"Hey Jo! Come meet Jacky! He just moved in here, and he sure can play ball!" shouted Nick who made a beautiful three-pointer that swiftly went into the hoop, making the chains of the net dance as they touch the basketball.


Jacky held out his hand to shake with Jo's but all she did was to snatch the ball from Ron who was making his way to Nick and Jacky. Jo never said a word and continued in her own game.

"Must be a bad day" shrugged Nick as he tapped Jacky on the shoulder as comfort.

Ron then suggested to have a quick match and all of them agreed. Ron paired up with Jo, leaving Jacky with Nick. The game started off and Jacky quickly learned that street basketball wasn't like how he played back in his school. There was more contact and it was much more rough.


"The first to reach seven wins!" shouted Nick.

The teams were tied six to six. The ball was in Jo's hands. She dribbled. Nick was blocking all ways possible for the ball to be passed to Ron. Jack moved closer to defend Jo. Jo was pushing hard against him, pushing him in the chest. It was hard, and it hurt, but Jacky wasn't going to let them call him a sissy.

He tried his best to not let Jo anywhere near the hoop. His spread his arms wide in defence, and decided to play dirty, just like how Jo did to him. He pushed hard at Jo's chest, and could not believe. He stood still, in shock. Jo took the chance and did a beautiful shot. Jo's team won.


"Hey, you're supposed to defend her! Remember?" Nick ran up to Jacky and slapped him hard on the back.


"Nick.... Jo's... Jo's a girl!" said Jacky almost feeling embarrassed that he did that.


Nick and Ron burst out laughing and couldn't help but laugh even harder at Jacky's confused face.

"Didn't you know? Jo's a girl! But she sure can play basketball".


It was true. Jo could play basketball. Jacky had never seen a girl play so well before, she definitely was better than the girls, and even most of the boys back in his school team.


All were silent when Jo came over to them. Jacky got up and said "Hey, I didn't mean to... you know."

Jo tried to act tough, and faked a low voice, saying "It's okay. But do it again and I'll bust your brains out, you hear me?" Both of them giggled and then headed over to Jo's house where she invited them for dinner.





To be continued.
