ha!

today, msn finally gave up on asking nicely.

it tried to force me to upgrade by threatening that i can't use msn unless i get the new one (which rocks as much as vista does, imo).

and this is how you prevent obnoxious windows from doing that.

(only for vista, though.)

i'm keeping my skin and my messenger plus, thank you.

*bonk*

just spent 5 and a half hours with 300 lovely mcqs.
*eyes falling shut*
even going through the answers is some marathon-like thing.

i wonder how far i'll go, anyway.

neil gaiman!

... was UNREAL.
unexpected.

and AMAZING.

(thanks gecko! :DDDD for bestowing this once-in-a-lifetime chance upon me XD)

even though i can't call myself a true fan (i haven't read a lot of his stuff and don't own anything that is signable >< not like gecko ... after yesterday, and i'm also FAIL because I FORGOT TO BRING THE CAMERA T.T), neil gaiman is so cool!
everything he says comes out with style and is genuinely funny. and worthy to be put in a book or quoted and framed.

(NEIL GAIMAN at the signing session. sorry about the picture quality, i'm waiting for better photos.)

it felt really weird and surreal to sit there and see him, and think about his books. (somewhere in the recesses of my brain i was going nuts and going "is this really neil gaiman! it's really neil gaiman! omfgomfgomfgomfg!" and such.)

maybe it was surreal because it was so up close and ... down-to-earth and everything. (remember may'n? =.=)
he was just there and there were no mobs and at the signing his girlfriend was wandering around unharassed. so it was a very new experience to just run round the back to get a photo.
it was inspirational, though i don't exactly know how. but i enjoyed every single minute in vt!
(and i liked the crowd, it was a very civilised crowd.)

the signing queue was SO LONG (and misshalle was in it (!)) so i kind of gave up. 900 people! 2 hours for every 200! and i'd feel bad because people were toting their good omens and sandman around. but AHHH THE CHANCE SLIPPED THROUGH MY FINGERS TODAY! T.T


anyway this has made me determined to hunt down every single neil gaiman book in the libraries. (it's quite difficult, i've been trying for a long time.)


... everything i've said above does not do today justice.

i hope he comes back to singapore! and i hope such things happen more often. writers are such great people.

by the way gecko got this for me. (and alot of class people too.) go see her post with the bit about the Poetry Proletariat Factory. this was from the word "jelly".


i like it a lot. the theme is interesting.
well, i actually understand it, for one. after experience with a lot of confusing and abstract poems in school.
i like poems with interesting spacing, for another. (haha i'm not a very literary person.)

poems should be used to delight and inspire, not to torture kids in school. /: that's how people lose interest in poems in the first place.

お礼を言う

whoops, 3 days late.

but THANK YOU everyone for the apple pie, and the die (like some continuation of last year's poker cards, yes, because "sometimes cards are just not enough"), and the cake, and the hugs and the smses. ((((: even though you're busy with pw and all.

i have something in mind with the die XD
(and send me the pics!)

anyway, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! <3
friendship is still the best present of all. :D

知ってた？

"That" is famous for being able to be repeated five times and still be grammatically correct, as in the phrase: “They say that that 'that' that that person said sounded dodgy".

じーっ。

emotional rollercoasters are not good, yes?

--

i can't say i'm happy, but i feel more ... normal now?

(what my maths teacher said to me hurt. and it only hurt because it's probably the truth, and i haven't realized it till now.)

--

everything's falling apart!
perhaps i'm just overreacting.

maybe it's the recent atmosphere.
maybe it's me.

i'm afraid to lose them, the things that took so many years to build. truly, genuinely afraid for the first time in my life.

there's racial discrimination, gender discrimination, intelligence discrimination ...

... and then there's subject discrimiation.
or you can call it marginalization of the minority.

i don't trust the school to solve my problems for me anymore.

i'll find my own way around in this big, overwhelming, spinning mess.

...

i need time off from all the noise and the computer to zen.

on a side note.

suzuken has a frikkin album now. O.O


first impression: pretty normal stuff (with previous singles), but slightly disconcerting. it's liked being constantly poked while trying to sleep or understand something. er. that's the kind of feeling i got.
it also has some cool concept thing going on (like "BIRTH" and "Re:BIRTH", you know? "becoming soon" and "becoming"?), but i'll leave that till i can confirm it somewhere.
above all, it never fails to be cheerful.

i am talking about this like a normal album. *mind spins*

*spins some more*

THIS IS SO WEIRD. :D
