I think I'm the only Aquarian who I know fits like most of what people says about Aquarius (some of them are definitely NOT true for me haha) Zodiac City's quite accurate - well I just looked through for fun and here are some Aquarius traits that quite fit me |ʘ‿ʘ)╯
- When an Aquarius starts stressing out about too many things to do, they typically step aside and do nothing at all.
- An Aquarius decides how they should treat you mostly based on how you treat them first.
- Aquarius prefers to hear all sides of the story before forming their own opinion.
- You may never know an Aquarius is worried or stressed because they can appear very cool and calm in their demeanor.
- An Aquarius doesn't mind being asked to do something but they resent being told they have to do it.
- Aquarians hate not getting the credit and gratitude they deserve, but they keep quiet most of the time.
lmao excuse me, what a random blog post this is, because I was looking through Zodiac City and thus this post~

There are simply waaay too many things that I wish that I can do. Oh yea but Mr. Reality calls me up often to knock me out of my daydreams, awww. Even so, there are still times that I really want to do all these stuff, to experience life to the fullest (with the word 'experience' I actually mean having fun - well, what's life without having fun and enjoying yourself!??!!!! :D) Since I'm kind of an extremist I might sound over-ambitious in some of these...
- Bungee jumping. I mean, isn't it cool?! I don't have a fear for height, but I do get a little biiiiiiit scared sometimes on high-buildings and start wondering what will happen if the building suddenly collapse and alas, death will then be welcoming me with open arms? (okay sorry for sounding dramatic hahaha) Hmmm sounds like I have mild fear for height after all. But then again, I love experiencing dangerous stuff that requires me to pick up my entire courage to do it, omg imagine the thrill when you jump down the cliff!!! Mother Nature's welcoming you, woohoooooo! Just think how fun it will be, right that moment you're probably busy worrying about dying that you can just forget about all your other problems and clear your mind entirely. What I'll say is... SHIOK MAX!!!! XD Really wish that I'll get to try that once or twice in my life! :)
- - Being a member of a band. When I say band, I don't mean those kind of concert band you have in school. I AM FREAKING TALKING ABOUT ROCK BANDS OR POPROCK BANDS ZOMFG KYAAAAAAAA. I really want to experience being in those kind of bands, whichever position will be okay with me. And all those headbanging on stage, heh. Lead singer, who gets to show off her voice to the entire world, who sings to enlighten the world blah blah blah. Guitarist/bassist, because strumming your guitar on stage is just so freaking cool while headbanging and have the crowd cheering for you! Keyboard, moving your fingers around while immersing yourself fully into the amazing music and in your own world - woahhhh (but I don't get keyboard/piano stuff at all, can't even play them to save my life, sadly :\). Lastly, drummer! As seen from most bands, the drummer's always sitting at the back on stage behind his band members with all his precious drums with him - WAIT, but that doesn't mean that he's insignificant! Drumming away, beating on your drums, creating the beat and rhythm for your band mates, beating all your troubles away, pushing all of them to the back of your mind... ARGH BUT I'LL NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO BE IN A BAND ANYWAY :(
- - Dance. Yes you read that right (who's even reading hahaha), I mean daaaaaance. I kind of regret not picking dance as my CCA in primary school. Being the kind of person who simply can't sit still in her seat most of the time (of course I'm able to sit still sometimes, erm well when I'm in a bad mood, that is) I'll really love to know all those coolshit dance moves and dance in my room at home while blasting my favourite songs. HOW FUN IS IT?! :D Also, to be able to dance in grace - it's like being one with the music, expressing the deep meaning of a song with the dance moves without speaking a single word = woahhh. Even hip hop and bboy, being able to do all those difficult-looking moves after trainings after trainings, how satisfying is that? ^^
- - Acting. Okay it's not like I haven't done that before, participated in two dramas before in primary school (oh seems like I had the most achievements in primary school? my sec sch and jc life are just... messes) I didn't have stage fright when I was younger, but it seems like as I grew up, I begin to be more and more aware of the crowd in front of me. I'm not entirely frightened, I'm just really excited to be standing in front a crowd that my stage fright got the better of me. Sorry if that doesn't make sense but yep I'm just saying~ Anyway! Won't it be fun to be able to act in a tv drama or something? Too bad I'm not good-looking or anything, who will want me? Heh and it's not like I have any confidence that I'll do well, after having experience in screwing up all my stage performances that include acting :(
- - Singing - solo in front of a huge crowd. This has kinda always been my dream since young. Really. I don't know why but I really want to be able to sing my best in front of a crowd - I get goosebumps just from thinking about it because I'm over-excited, hehhhhh. That doesn't make sense but oh well hahaha. What is stopping me is my self-confidence and my looks. Meh who will want an ugly singer who can't even do makeup?! And what if my voice crack?! What if people boo at me?! What if, what if, what if... :\ I really miss those days when I was five and whenever I took trains I will sing with my younger sister loudly - yes, LOUDLY. How daring I was hahaha I was such a cute little kid (okay ignore you can ignore my self-compliment tyvm)
- - Travel around the world. Like many, this is one of the things that I want to do. One of the places that I REEEEEALLY want to visit will be Egypt WHERE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SPARKLING PYRAMIDS ARE!!! Okay they don't exactly sparkles (unlike Edward Cullen lmao) but they do in my fantasies! HOHOHO. Pyramids really amaze me, after reading all those stories about it, I sooo want to be able to go there one day and get my hands on them *O* Also, Statue of Liberty in New York! Looking down from it will be such an incredible thing... &Africa's Great Rift Valley - after reading about it after all these years during Geography lessons! And of course, Japan, after watching all those animes and jdramas and reading all those mangas I'll just loooove to visit there :):)

Maybe you won't read this post. Because you're lazy and the post seems long. You're so ignorant. We can all be so ignorant and selfish. Admit it.
I want to do a blog post on traditions and all those stuff because it seems kinda interesting, as to what we're currently learning for GP in school with the topic - east vs west. And so I decided to google more on traditions about women having sharpen teeth and even fgm (I don't dare to research on fgm because I don't want to get nightmares) in tribes because my GP teacher told us about it.
As I started clicking links and links, I read more and more stuff that totally sickens me and now I feel like puking. I'm dead serious. I'm currently having a huge headache and I can't really think properly because I feel like I'm going to faint (yes, I'm not trying to be funny) @ 2.27am omg. Didn't know I'll come across so much information that scare the hell out of me. I can feel my stomach churning. Maybe I'm hungry, I don't know, but definitely not in the mood for food - the mere thought of those creepy traditions which totally violates human rights makes me feel like throwing my breakfast and those mooncakes that I ate today up. GAH. Okay I only research within the area on women, some of the things scare me so much I think I'm going to throw up my future meals too. Didn't check up much stuff about men, but I don't think they'll do much to men, because males are viewed as a more superior kind then females in traditions.
Anyway, enough about me and my feelings. Let me see. Teeth sharpening. One of place it happens in is Mentawai tribe from Indonesia. You know how some people have those vampire teeth on each side around the corners of their rows of teeth? (haha i have them too - quite sharp, watch out!) Yea, the women there have their front teeth sharpen because it's a form of beauty to them, like those wild animals out there. Well actually I think this still sounds okay. But some of my classmates went like "yucks, eww this is so disgusting yucks yucks yucks" I feel like asking them to stfu and stop being so childish. Why I find it okay is because different people have different views on how beauty should be, just like how in our general society we see women with a great figure (a.k.a. big boobs nice butts = curvy body blah blah blah) and guys with a strong built as a form of good-looking. This is still okay.
Bet you guys already know about "giraffe" women? Yes, they're Kayan Lahwi women of those Kayan people who practice having neck rings to have elongated necks, starting from the age of about 2 to 5. This is also seen as another form of beauty whereby the neck rings place pressure on their shoulder blade to cause it to deform.
Another of one of the well-known traditions that causes deform is the foot binding. It happens in ancient China where it is known that 100% of the upperclass women have their feet bound which involves the crushing of their toes, bending the front part of their foot and then tying it against the back part of their foot, bounding their foot tightly after that. I was reading this entire article from wikipedia about it and every single detail freaks me out. Imagine the pain caused in the process. Infections happens, and their toenails eventually rot away. Ouch?! "Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet." - this, is what disgust me the most. Luckily, foot bounding is already ban, I cannot imagine myself living in a society whereby girls have their feet bound :(
FGM. Well like I said, I didn't do any research on it, but I watched a video on it. No, it didn't show how the thing went, if they're going to show I'm definitely not going to watch. The video only shows a little girl going through the process (some Africa country I think?) and she couldn't stop screaming to mum about being so so so much in pain. I almost cried. It hurts so much to hear somebody scream, the pain she's going through without any anesthetic or any painkillers shit, but I'm just sitting safely at home, all helpless and not able to do anything. This is the most cruel of all. Her screams are constantly echoing in my mind and it really scares me. :(
It's not the traditions that are in the wrong. It's human's perception of beauty and chastity.
It disgust me so much. Females definitely aren't any less superior or any more inferior than the males. Females are strong survivors. Don't think I'll be able to sleep well tonight. Sigh. Probably nobody will read this. What difference can I make by making this post anyway?

I don't know why.
Why life is so fragile.
Why human can be so cruel.
We're all so superficial.
We're the ones who destroy the world with our own hands.
But yet without us, most of the things in the world won't even exist.
Are we actually destroyers or the savers?

Meh. It has been quite a few days since I last visited my blog or post anything because I was busy watching Naruto (oops) - yea I've been neglecting my blog, sorry :( WELL OH WELL I'M HERE TO UPDATE. This post will be dedicated to those animes that I liked in the past and also those that I still like. Yea you can ignore this post if you hate jap stuff (I'll be sad though ya know D:), they aren't in order by the way.
Well maybe I'll post about other stuff within my areas of interest another time, like kpop, mangas, dramas, movies, etc. Heh, I'm obsessed with too much stuff! Blogging about this because I want to update my blog but I don't really have much to blog about - yea yea yea me and my boring life. Blah.
1. D.Gray-man
It's the very, very first anime I watched! (in my memory luh) But woah it feels like ten thousand years ago since I last watched an episode from it... Well I was obsessed with this manga last time and apparently it has the anime version too and I decided to stay up late and watch on the tv. D.Gray-man's the anime before the anime that I wanted to watch, so I had to bear through with its ending song first. Surprisingly I fell in love with the ending song (ED8) and started watching D.Gray-man eventually.
Argh those days when I was staring at Allen, fangirl-ing over him... (remembering the scene when he was topless and doing a perfect one-hand stand on a chair... hehehehe ikr) He's freaking strong and have a sad story too! I love Lenalee (she's pretty!), Lavi (DAMN CUTE LOVE HIS WEAPON), Miranda and Krory :D I was neutral with Kanda though, heh.
Well, because of this show, I know what's akuma in Jap! (LMAO) I even went to memorize the lyrics of its ED8 for its TV version. Stephanie's Changin' is too awesome!
2. Skip Beat
AHHHHH USED TO REALLY LOVE THIS! Well it was on tv so that's how I started watching it. It was freaking funny, a good laugh, really. Those days when I fangirl over Tsuruga Ren *O* (the black hair one, good-looking right!) Okay apparently they're going to have a chinese drama adapted from its manga/anime with Super Junior's Choi Siwon acting as Ren (kinda disappointed because he's not one of my favourites from suju - sorry :X) and Donghae as Sho (YES DONGHAE IS IN IT YES YES YES *fangirl*)
3. Toradora!
THIS. I used to love this anime and still love it now, maybe forever. It's one of my favourite of the favourites! Cried like, a gazillion times thanks to Toradora. How can someone not like Ryuuji? He's my favourite anime guy of alllll. [insert 278349237597439 heart symbols here] He's not bad looking, nice, caring, clean freak (cute ikr!), not too perfect but just good enough :)
If you're looking for a sweet love story (between teenagers, that is) - then this is just what you're looking for! :D MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm gonna watch it for the third time soon! ^^
4. Angel Beats!
&THIS. It's a freaking funny anime, meaningful too. Yea oh well I cried a lot for it too. LOLOLOL as you can probably see I love animes that can make me cry. Sad stories that can't make me cry = fail. Because it's about those people who died they all have a sad story. My heart totally broke watching this anime T-T Even though sad, there's tons of funny moments that made me crack up like mad. I can't really remember which episode it was, 8 or 9 or 10 that I watched for like, 8 times or something and cried every single time DX Otonashi is such a great guy! ^^
5. Kaichou wa Maid Sama
Well this is nice too! I got a little freaked out because the main guy character was waaaaay too perfect. Ya know, everytime I watch anime there's bound to be one or two bad things about the characters, but Usui is. too. freaking. perfect. When the girl's in danger, the guy never fail to rescue her. I mean, like what the, this is kinda fake, don't you agree? It's like Usui has some super power and can predict that the girl's gonna be in danger or something. It scares me. Heh. But still, not bad! Actually this is funny too - lol I like animes that can make me laugh :D
6. Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
YAY YAY YAY I'M FINALLY HERE. This gotta be one of my favourite of all times! [insert retarded laughters] It has like 200+ episodes and I was completely obsessed with it last year. I like almost every single character, especially Tsuna, Colonnello (HOT GUY ALERT), Gokudera, Rokudo Mukuro, Xanxus, I-Pin, Spanner, Irie Shoichi, Squalo (OMG LOVE HIS LONG WHITE HAIR), and Bel! ~off in fangirl world~
I love how Tsuna became ultra super freaking strong at the end of the anime, the burning flame is too cool XD Well actually during the time when I was mad about this I keep blogging about it and posting pictures from the anime LOLOLOL. I even downloaded tons of the show's OSTs and songs and listen to them all the time (I was OBSESSED)
7. Fairy Tail
I used to keep watching it, until O'level. I stopped watching it after that and I bet like I have 50+ episodes to catch up with now but I never really try to catch up. Argh I feel so bad :( But never mind, I'm saying this because I'll continue on it one day, soon! Maybe December holidays? :D
Natsu - because of him I stopped thinking that guys with pink hair will look stupid because he looks cute :D Oh wait what am I talking about. Loke's my favourite character! Well he's good-looking and nice but has small parts in the anime #sad Gray's awesome too, I like the fact that he always take his shirt off in random, weird moments (TEEHEE)
8. Ao no exorcist
Knew about this anime because they're using UVERworld's new song as their OP! I was randomly searching for UVERworld's songs and came across the trailer of this anime and soon after I started watching and realized that they use 2PM's Take Off as their ED. COOLSHIT. First time I know who the singer for an anime's OP and ED are!
Rin is Satan's offspring and is super cute - totally worth watching for his cute face! *O* No kidding. I cried at the first episode when his father died too :( If you're paying attention you would have realize that I love animes with fighting, comedy and sad stories that can make me cry. Yea. Romance will be a plus though! :D
9. Naruto
OH GOD I FINALLY REACH NARUTO OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD AHSDJASHJKFHDK (current obsession) Well actually I'm tired already, had typed so much
SO FUCK YEAH I RULE. Why did I watch it anyway? I was at animecrazy.net and clicked on the popular animes section, apparently Naruto Shippuden's ranked #1, followed by Bleach, One Piece, FullMetal (I almost watch it last year! Oh well there's always a next time I guess) and Katekyo Hitman Reborn! So I was like, why not watch Naruto since it's ranked #1? Well I mean, Shippuden's #1, but to understand it I'll have to watch Naruto first right? So here I am, with 400+ episodes to watch. Meh. Love Naruto, Kakashi (*O*) and Gaara! :D Don't get why so many people fangirl over Sasuke, don't really like him from the first episode :)
YES I'M DONE TYPING. PHEW. Pardon for typos and errors because I was spam-typing LMAO.
★ MAY NOT BE MAKING SENSE IN SOME PARTS TOO LOL
No you won't understand the title of this post unless you're me or you play... #lame
Wondering how people always have the skill to tie such nice hairstyles while I'm forever stuck with ponytails and simple plaits. I want to be able to tie my hair this way too!
Was organising my motes - didn't realise that there's so much to study for Common Test oh god I'm soooo dead, there's less than one week of holiday left, shit -.- I have like, this whole mountain stack of notes that I don't even remember about that I have to revise on, hooray. Seriously can't wait for the December holiday to come already! :(
Random doodles I did on my notes during GP, now you see just HOW MUCH attention I pay during lessons :)

Cut my fringe today! I look younger now LOL. I'm still considering cutting my long long long hair away, should I have short hair for once? But I'm worried that I'll regret. Still, I can't help but think about chopping my long hair away. HMMMM.
I'M STILL HERE PEOPLE!
Okay I'm definitely sick of this layout already. SICK SICK SICK IT'S TOO, IDK, BLAAAH.
So? I'm too lazy to make a new layout for now! Yikes.
Well I guess it's happy Vesak Day today! Erm, yay, hooray, awesome. So what am I doing on this awesome day? Sitting in front of the computer at home like a boss! OMG I have no life, spam read Yanmega (it's a fantabulous manga fyi) and had finished the latest chapter available on the internet already - chapter 210! I'm kinda addicted already, slept at 5am because of it omg and cried ten thousand times when the characters are all having fun because I'M JUST SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR THEM ALL TO BE TOGETHER AS AWESOME FRIENDS AHJFHSJKDJAS T-T
Okay maybe you should ignore that part. I'm mad. Yea. :(
It's has been quite some time since I last had a lengthy post, the last time I wanted to rant was on 13th May, ya know, the day Blogger sort of crashed? How idiot is this, just when I had soooo much to yak about and I an't blog about it and had to simply swallow all the fire I was about to let out? NOT GOOD. 13th Friday May is definitely NOT a good day for me, even Twitter abandoned me! Only Tumblr stayed by my side *creyz*
I'm such a geek too - salivating at awesome stuff on those resource sites. TSK. Okay I'm just blogging about random stuff because I've been blogging crap these days and spamming photos - I'm lazy - sorry blog :(
Watched Beastly! It's not bad luh, the guy (of course I noticed the guy, as if I'll notice Vanessa Hudgens - gah I'm not interested in girls) lead is cute :D Even though he got disfigured by Mary-kate Olsen he's still handsome *O* Well actually he wasn't even really that ugly after getting disfigured! In fact, I find those scars on his body rather cool, I mean, they seemed artistic, don't they? Okay, maybe "amateurly artistic" luh but whatever - it's not everyday that you have pictures of white roses blooming on your hand, isn't it?
Well in all, the movie's not bad, but it's not really that good either. Maybe a 6.5 stars out of 10? I like the scars best. HEH.

Found this on Tumblr, it's quite true, especially the parts about me being temperamental, aggressive, stubborn, superstitious and a spendthrift, ha!
FEBRUARY=THUG-
Abstract thoughts. Loves reality and abstract. Intelligent and clever. Changing personality. Attractive. sexiest out of everyone. A real speed demon. Has more than one best friend. Temperamental. Quiet, shy and humble. Honest and loyal. Determined to reach goals. Loves freedom. Rebellious when restricted. Loves aggressiveness. Too sensitive and easily hurt. Gets angry really easily but does not show it. Dislikes unnecessary things. Loves making friends but rarely shows it. Daring and stubborn. Ambitious. Realizing dreams and hopes. Sharp. Loves entertainment and leisure. Romantic on the inside not outside. Superstitious and ludicrous. Spendthrift. Tries to learn to show emotions.
And so, HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR, people! Thanks to those who bothered sending me greetings through messaging ;)
The moment the clock struck 12am I was still using Facebook, with OG5 on group chat, hehe. Rushed off after that for midnight movie at 2:40am, watched Jack Neo's Homecoming which was unexpectedly nice:) The movie was totally hilarious and if you're feeling down, you should definitely give it a try because you'll feel better (even if it's only for a little tinsy insy bit) after laughing for countless times during the short one and a half hour plus. I couldn't stop laughing, the dialects used and the plot was funny, with an awesome ending. Thanks x100 to Javan's dad for the car rides to the movie and back home and Javan for the movie treat (okay actually it's because I forgot to return him the money for movie ticket T-T) Reached home at 5am plus plus plus for my beauty sleep at last...
Woke up at almost 1pm in the afternoon then! Went out with family to the temple at Bugis as usual like every single year on the first day of chinese new year~ I was asleep for almost the whole train ride (gahhh) Visited my grandparents' house at Jalan Besar which is near the Rocher Road in Bugis (???) Aren't really on very friendly terms with the relatives on my paternal side, couldn't even recognize my aunt when I saw her :|
Me!
Me and sis:)
...This is absolutely disturbing ಠ_ಠ
Went to West Coast Plaza (alone) today to see if the bag Qiaofen still want as her birthday present is still there, but it's gone! I had spent so much time getting to the mall - taking a totally unfamiliar bus for the first time, almost getting lost and finally arriving to find that bag's not selling at the store already -.-
And so I decided to linger around the plaza for a while to explore, got trapped in the stairway because the doorknob's gone and I couldn't open the door, but fortunately I got out in the end by going back down to the second floor where they left the door ajar, phew. WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE STUPID PLACE THAT HAS DOORS WITHOUT DOORKNOB FROM THE INSIDE !@#$ For the first time in my life I was hyperventilating due to being closed up with nearly nowhere to escape ;__; Hope this won't cause me to have a phobia for being in a closed up area next time...
Being a no-life person, I continued to walk around the Clementi neighbourhood just for the fun of it - well since I'm there already with nothing to do I might as well look around isn't it. Drank KOI and ate a burger plus a hotdog bun *burp* Yea I was really bored.
I think my dad hates me. Every time he brings food home, he'll call out to my mum, sister and my cousin to come join him to eat, but never calls me, until everyone starts eating already. Discrimination? That's why I don't really like my dad. Sorry if I sound like some useless daughter, but seriously.

Read something interesting this morning on my Tumblr dashboard:
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
