I'm tired...

... of leaving everything to the last minute.
... of leaving mess around wherever I go.
... of saying I'll do things when I won't.
... of thinking that work is a break from uni and uni is a break from work.
... of trying to analyse what people mean when they say or do something.
... of being incredibly happy one minute and incredibly sad in another.
... of looking at how my life is and the million ways I could improve it.
... of looking at myself and the million ways I could improve myself.
... of staying up late nights and having to wake up early.

I'm just really tired.

*shuffle change*

I was looking at old clips of 'Friends' and man, I really wanna watch the whole series again. I make it an annual tradition to watch every 'Friends' episode from beginning to end and it looks like that time has nearly come. Must finish Evidence assignment first!!! Here are some pretty funny clips... enjoy!!!

1. The difference between men and women. So true!



2. The benefits of being male and female



3. For the 'Friends' fans... the episode where Monica and Rachel lose their apartment to Joey and Chandler




My heart mends well.
After all that I've been through,
I found myself.

I want it to be Wednesday now!!!

Today's Sunday.
I have an exam in 2 days which I'm so not prepared for even though it's an open book exam.
I'm dead tired. Sleeping at 3:30am doesn't help the situation.
My legs are still in pain from the intense workout I had at my hip hop class on Friday night.
I'm supposed to be at a b'day party in a matter of hours. Having an early night there so I can stay up late again and try and not epic fail my Tuesday exam.
Another night buried in the mess that is my study notes.

Tomorrow's Monday.
I only realised yesterday that I'm rostered to work tomorrow from 8:30am - 10pm for stocktake.
There's no way in hell I'm doing that so I bargain the shift to finish at 5pm instead.
And 'cause I'm an idiot, I also pick up a shift on Tuesday from 5pm 'til God knows when.
Gonna have another night of not enough sleep and frantically organising notes and reading, reading, reading.

The day after tomorrow is Tuesday.
I have an exam at 10am which goes for about 1.5 hours.
I then have to rush to court and bore myself for hours on end taking notes for an assignment.
I then have to rush to work and do stocktake again for hours on end.

Seriously FML. =(

I'm so human. It's OK for me to feel this way.

Doesn't it feel much better when you've had a better day than yesterday?

Catharsis 22

1. There's always two sides to every story.
2. I never realised you were like this. We're like two peas in a pod.
3. It's ghost month. Is this why I feel weird?!
4. I hate the friend balance. You get close to one person but you lose the closeness of another.
5. Sometimes love comes around. And it knocks you down. Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down.
6. Am I waiting for any good reason or am I just playing the fool again?
7. Maybe being sheltered isn't such a bad thing after all.
8. I'm sleepy.
9. You've grown up. I'm so proud of you.
10. I actually miss you. Who would've thought?!
11. And I'll miss you too. The days are counting down...
12. And I also miss you. I miss all the moments and long talks we used to have.
13. Study = death.
14. Too much food and sweets = death.
15. You're the reason I'm getting fatter. Damn you!!!
16. Stop being lost and/or realise your true feelings already!!!
17. Why you? Because sometimes I think you're the only who sees me when I'm invisible.
18. The world keeps getting in the way. With you is where I wanna be. But it just won't let me 'cause it keeps getting in the way.
19. Or maybe I missed my chance. Crap.
20. 3 weeks to go. Holy smoke. Actually, not really.
21. I'm still sleepy.
22. Dance like nobody's watching.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's heaven on earth. - Mark Twain

It's been ages since I've done one of these. Feels good =)

10 things you probably don't need to know... [but I'm letting you know anyway hehe]

Just a few random notes for this blog...

1. To Taiki: The time you were in Brissy came and went by so quickly!!! I hope you had a blast while you were here 'cause I certainly had fun =) I'm missing you already... but never fear, I'll see you again in Japan in a matter of months... more fun times to be had w00t w00t


2. IT'S WEEK 4 OF UNI AND I'VE DONE ABSOLUTELY NO STUDY SO FAR... WTF?????????????

3. Mah jong is the new poker. All the cool kids are doing it hehe

4. I'm 22 in less than a month. 26 days to be exact. Not quite sure if the 'responsibility' and 'maturity' has kicked in yet... probably 'cause I'm celebrating my b'day a million times this year =P

5. I'm no longer a mini golfing virgin!!! Came 2nd outta 4 people too... total beginner's luck!!!

6. Torn between catching up on movies, TV series, Asian dramas or study...

7. Been sleeping at ridiculous hours lately. I went to bed at 4:30am twice in the last week and the other nites I've been up way past 1-2am. It's gotta stop!!!

8. 15 more days of winter. You know what that means? SPRING WILL BE WITH US SOON ^__^

9. I have so many weird cravings right now: sushi from Top Sushi, chicken katsu don, a good banana smoothie, Max Brenner waffles, as well as an urge to play pool, sing karaoke and play mah jong.

10. I gotta feeling... that this week's gonna be a good, good week =) I know it's copied from a song but I feel it in my bones. I'm gonna make this a really productive week!!! Catch up on study, go to all my classes, clean out my wardrobe for spring, catch up with a few friends I haven't seen in a while... I can do it!!!

Movie/K-Drama reviews II

1. My Girl [마이걸]


Starring: Lee Da Hae, Lee Dong Wook, Lee Jun Ki, Park Shi Yeon

Short and sweet: A girl is hired to be a guy's long lost cousin and they end up falling in love with each other. This sounds really incestuous but remember, they're PRETENDING okies?

I found it incredibly sweet and so good to watch. I was pretty hooked on this series from the beginning and I can see why people thought this was so good. Plus Lee Dong Wook's in it and that's enough reason to watch it if you're a girl XD
Rating: 10/10

2. A Moment of Romance [天若有情]


Starring: Andy Lau [劉德華], Wu Chien Lien [吳倩蓮]
Short and sweet: A bikie takes a girl hostage during a robbery and through a series of events, the pair fall in love. Don't watch this if you don't like sad endings. And before you kill me for pretty much giving away the ending, doesn't the title of the movie give things away already?

I've watched this movie a million times and even though I cry pretty much every time I watch it, it's just really, really good. The story is good, the acting is good and all the action, drama and romance is to the point. Even though this movie is nearly 20 years old, it's definitely recommended for guys and girls.
Rating: 10/10

3. A Moment of Romance 2 [
天若有情 II 之天長地久
]


Starring: Aaron Kwok [郭富城], Wu Chien Lien [吳倩蓮]
Short and sweet: A bikie saves a girl who's been framed for murder and through a series of events, they fall in love. If you've seen the first movie, it's much of the same thing. Guy meets girl through chance, guy saves girl again and again, guy and girl fall for each other, bad things happen in the end.

This movie doesn't really compare to the first. Andy was really badass in the first movie whilst Aaron's too much of a softie in this one. It's still alright, but just disappointing when compared to the first movie.
Rating: 6.5/10

4. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen


Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, a whole bunch of Autobots and Decepticons
Short and sweet: To keep it really short and [not so] sweet, it does not even compare to the first movie. I could waste quite a bit of this blog bitching about how crap this movie was, but I'll just talk about the good points.

The soundtrack is pretty good and the CGI effects [which I'm pretty sure most of the budget was spent on since everything else is pretty messed up] are pretty cool too. Other than that, I'm pretty much ignoring the fact that this film exists in the Transformers series. Good luck with the third one.
Rating: 2/10 [1 for the soundtrack, 1 for the CGI effects]

5. Night at the Museum 2


Starring: Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Hank Azaria, Owen Wilson
Short and sweet: Ben Stiller goes to another museum and has all these random adventures with the museum exhibits from the first film. If you've seen the first movie, it's pretty much the same deal.

I quite liked the first movie when I watched it at the cinema and I'm usually pretty skeptical about sequels [see 'A Moment of Romance 2' and 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen']. Surprisingly, this film's just as good as the original. If you didn't like the first film, you won't like this one.
Rating: 8/10

6. Bruno


Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen [whoops, I mean Bruno XD]
Short and sweet: Bruno, a gay fashion reporter, tries to make it big in Hollywood. While trying to do that, he offends a lotta people along the way. If you've seen 'Borat', you'll have an idea of the humour in this movie. It's pretty much the gay version XD

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Borat' when I saw it a few years back and I was expecting this to be good. And it was!! I laughed so much throughout this movie, especially the part where he's promoting his show to the producers. Priceless stuff!! Totally recommended if you're not offended easily but I'm taking 1 off 'cause there's no real memorable quotes like in 'Borat' =(
Rating: 9/10

7. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson
Short and sweet: I didn't really pay proper attention to the movie but from what I gathered, it's about finding out who the Half Blood Prince is, something about Horcruxes, watching Draco Malfoy being emo and creepy and watching the love triangles between Harry-Ginny-Dean and Hermione-Ron-Lavender.

I dunno what to say about this film. According to those who've read the book, the film actually stays pretty true to the book. Having known that, I'm a bit put off reading the book 'cause I found the movie quite boring. It's definitely funny in parts [whether intentional or unintentional] and it's definitely the sussest Harry Potter film so far.
Rating: 6/10 [I'll update it after I read the book]
