had the best time yesterday. went to watch underworld with eldred (shut up about the whole premier thing you had, rachael) and, i don't know what to think of that movie. i'd say that it was a good movie but they ripped off so many things from other places, you wouldn't believe. got the whole retractable blade thing from spawn, the blade itself had some blade II thing going on, blue vampire eyes from interview, moves from the matrix and one character even resembled x-men's nightcrawler (shut up chan, i can hear you from here). but hey, i still say watch it anyway and go form your own opinions.


after that went to this nice comics shop behind kino (the one at bugis).


boy am i suckered. now i know how you felt when you saw that sandman globe the other time tor. saw so much great stuff, that were, needless to say, horribly expensive. $350 for a pewter set of the Endless, $79.90 for a small arabian nights thing (not sure what it was made of, some kind of metal..?) of Morpheus doing the whole putting the ball of monsters thing into his robe, $30 for Nightmare before Christmas playing cards, $25 for the Sandman 2004 calender...


oh boy am i suckered.


also feeling very weird 'cos i haven't got anymore studying to do. spending my days on the com and reading (am starting on terry goodkind and trying to get into anne mccafrey. i like dragons, but rather enjoyed her whole arcona thing). so now am very relaxed.


by the way, if anyone hears me curse and it doesn't sound english, it's most likely a triple decker russian insult.


good night.

huh, whatever lah. and yes, happy birthday. got the mail too, laughed at the london is a sinkhole bit. hah, drink lots of water is a very suitable bit of advice now too, thanks, seeing that i have a sore throat. it got so bad that during choir i had to sing all the songs one octave lower. shd have been standing with the guys.


ack.


last exam is one monday, but am going to die before then. ok, have to go study now.

It was so below 100 words. And I have been doing yoga for one year already! (shoulder stand triangle half moon and also good at breathing exercises) Can't stand on my head or suck my toes yet (actually i can but not very elegantly).


Ghibli.


Thanks for Bday card! Am going for swing dance lesson in hours time so just blogging for no particular reason. Should be researching law firms to apply to but they all actually do the same boring thing. Did you get my email? Was on wales and other places visited. Here is extract in case you didn't get it:


Waterfalls and beaches. Wales is like Lord of the Rings country, and I don't mean the movie... it's laden with celtic history, and the fields really are of gold. I even saw an Underhill cottage! (Underhill being one of the surnames of characters in LOTR).


Sardinia was a mediterranean dream, the scrubby, rugged landscape is deceptively even, but drops to sheer high cliffs as you round turns on narrow mountain roads. (We were in a Ford Fiesta, thank god for 4 wheel drive.) The views were amazing, and the beaches... pristine and isolated. We ate loads of seafood, lobster, clam and scallops. And I scuba dived for the first time! Was a bit scarey especially when you look up and see lots of blue water on top of you.


Ok good luck for exams and drink lots of water!!

to tor: what's having a sister got to do with describing yourself? and if you can't draw patterns like death then you probably wouldn't like cosplay. and since when did you like yoga? and i think that was more than 100.


ok. have not blogged for close to a month already. in middle of exams now and have just finished maths and lit paper on friday. only way to describe maths is screwed. on a lighter note, my lit was better than i expected it to be. it was good, in fact. also had a very good physics paper though i can't say the same for eveything else.


was talking to eldred last night. he was nice enough to lend me Gaiman's endless nights and am feeling v. happy now. would have read yours tor, if you hadn't sounded so reluctant at the thought of bringing it over. so now you don't have to. he's also lending me his studio gibli (i dunno how to spell it but it certainly sounds something like that) collection and so am going to watch mononoke in english (finally!!) and am getting around to watching totoro as well, hah!


for some very strange reason i cannot fanthom, as i stepped out of the shower yesterday, i suddenly recalled the name of the main character from Tim Burton's nightmare before christmas: Jack. and i realise i don't know anyone of the name jack, even if it's a rather common name, come to think of it.


sorry, that was just random stuff.


you know one of those warm, lazy afternoons when you don't really feel like doing anything at all, but you know you must because there's an exam 2 days away? well, i feel like that now.

I have no instincts. In fact, I am a large placid creature who likes to sit in a pool of warm water and coagulate. My rock-like physical reactions to proximate balls and people in a sporting context means painful injuries. My happiness is a warm bolster. My bolster is a footrest, a pillow, an eyeshade, a weapon and a placemat, all at once. It is not everything. It is everything important. I like to write and think. I like yoga and scrabble. My toes smell like boiled peanuts. I wear brown eyeliner but lack the courage to draw patterns round my eyes like death. And I have a sister.


About Me-- In 100 words or less. This is Tor.
