"The Perfect Ending to This Piece of Shit Story!"

What a day to end this week...

A death of a wonderful person whom I know is very dear to a friend.

2 random guys came in the lecture hall at different times and chatted with the girl I like.

And now, I realised if I'm not gonna do anything...I'm going to graduate in 3 years' time, unnoticed by my crush.

Death makes me feel like I should grab every opportunity given to make a difference in my life...

Keep Your Heart Calm

Introducing Regina Spektor... She's somewhat an indie singer/songwriter from... I don't know where... Pardon me, I haven't been doing my research on her but I knew her from (500) Days of Summer's soundtrack. Her songs are really peaceful and beautiful with a pinch of quirkiness. She writes really wonderful songs. Hmm, I guess my love for piano-based songs is coming back...

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

=D Freakishly cool, eh?

"Show's Over, Motherfuckers!"

Hmm...Yeah I know I haven't been doing regular updates every now and then. That's because I've been lacking inspirations and my recent illness has rendered me feeling weak and useless. Okay, that was a lie. I haven't been lacking any inspirations. The inspirations I had are short-lived and I don't really know how to expand them into a full-length feature post.

Anyhow, I'm here giving a shot at it.

So... First week of school... It's been weird and messy. I didn't really prepare for any of it. In actual fact, I breezed through this week with my eyes closed, not knowing what exactly is happening around me. I was down with flu and cough, and a slight fever that activates every time I reached home.

Besides, I have perplexing matters on my mind that I don't know what to do. Plus, I had a really frightening dream on Tuesday morning that crept me out a lot. It scares me how my dream department in my head has the ability to tear the very fabric that holds my thoughts all together. Oh trust me, it's a fucking, crazy, hell of a dream.

But don't worry, I'm getting a hang of everything... I think.

All that I'm up against now is trying to determine which person I should be.

I just know that last year's experience changed me. The group of friends I hang out with influenced me and I was struggling to keep sane from all the madness they talked about. Vengeance, contempt and a jaundiced view of the world and the people in it. I appreciate them for their steadfast loyalty but sometimes I wish they would lighten up and see things positively and not think of worst in everyone. And I wish their maniacal laughter would ease down a bit, for obvious reasons.

I go to school with a full tank of optimism and happiness but only to find it drained even faster with my friends because of their harsh, yet true to a certain extent, perspectives on my classmates. And I'm totally a different person with them around too. It's just that seeing them how they judge other people makes me self-conscious of everything I do and I want to be avoided being judged "negatively" by them too.

I know...

I know...

I should stand up for what I believe in instead of being led by the nose. Even if I can't do that, I got to resist the Dark Side. Been doing it since last year... Got to keep it up even more as the pressure's increasing, yeah? I suppose so...

I'll just wrap up here...I think it's too long for you guys to read too, anyway... I'll definitely do a follow-up post. This ending doesn't have much impact for me...=/

See ya and bless your souls..=)

The Pursuit of Success

Still wondering what strategy to adopt in the coming months when school reopens or the impending doom of the A-levels? Whatever methodology you pick to pursue ultimate success, I just wish you would take 3 minutes of your life to read something really meaningful that I had picked up from a blog...

"...

The secret to all success is to remain in the flow.

The obvious: Don't swim against the current. See where the river wants to take you. Be relaxed and happy that you're awake on the journey.

And: be neither too relaxed where you don't swim at all. Otherwise, the river will almost certainly kill you.

And definitely don't think you can swim faster than the current: don't be a "try-hard." This is a term I heard used in the open-mic circuit for those who are trying so hard to make it they forget to enjoy it. The stress and the need for perfection is a distraction from the beauty, uncertainty, and finality of every moment. It's never about the destination anyway. It's about the brave lifestyle one leads in getting there.

Having said that, I wish and pray for the best for your future endeavours, people =D

Victorious Venice

Spent quite some time in Venice, Italy on the small boat... It's really a beautiful, sinking city... The little small cracks on the watered-down, coloured walls. The tiny balconies with old quaint windows that face the canals... I embraced the city's culture and in return, it gave me a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I love Venice, man...

Scott Pilgrim VS Awesome Movie Trailer

Wow, just wow. It's a great year for quirky comic-book adaptations... You have Kick-Ass, The Losers and now Scott Pilgrim VS The World.

I'll just make it simpler for you guys: Scott Pilgrim is based on a successful graphic novel by a Canadian and is now adapted into a live-action movie starring Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Just a nutshell from what you've seen from the trailer:

Scott Pilgrim is a bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb and he has just met the girl of his dreams, Ramona V. Flowers (If I'm not wrong). He tries to win her heart but he has to defeat all 7 of her exes before he can get her. Apparently, it's almost like a revenge of the Legion of Boyfriends kinda thing and there's this major bad guy who's the head of the Legion called Gideon Graves something something...Can't really remember his name but I know Jason Schwartzman is playing him.

Edgar Wright of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz directed this...should be an awesome movie. Video-game references, cartoony action words and indie bands jamming...Oh my God man, just check out this amazing screenshots! The actors must have had fun filming this riot of a movie!

Aww...Cera's puppy dog eyes and Winstead's Clementine-inspired hairdo..

Just take a look at this two...

Scott's band VS Killer Soundwave!

Videogame, anyone? Heheh..

Yes, Brandon Routh AKA The Supes can really do that smoking eyes thing...No CGI required.

Cera's bad-ass look!

He just took one punch to the face, SMAK is about get smashed!

Swordfight!!! Flaming sword and some laser-beam sword(I refuse to say light saber!! >.<)

K.O! from the Street Fighter games used here =D

Damn, man...This is total nerdgasm for nerds out there. Definitely checking this movie out when it comes out.

By the way, the band, Metric, has been asked to contribute some awesome music *winks an eye*.

...

If I'm not wrong again, they collaborated with Nigel Godrich of Radiohead.

Crawling Out

I wish to crawl out of my old skin. But right now, my life's a mess. Might be due to the lack of school and assignments...But I don't wish to attend school. I'm afraid school will play out almost like an extended episode of Skins. Sheesh, all those heightened drama...

Gotta stop indulging in my self-proclaimed miserable life. Get up, boy. Sort your fucking life and mind, man.

Who Cares? No One, Really

"Love doesn't happen in an instant. It creeps up on you and then it turns your life upside-down. It colours your waking moments and fills your dreams. You begin to walk on air and see life in brilliant new shades.

But it also brings with it a sweet agony, a delicious torture."

And that's why I hate being in love. It sucks to be me. I'm still...not ready for it at all...

Forgive me...I lost my mind quite long ago (see below for how long it has been) and I wish for myself to get better but my condition is getting worse and taking a toll on my life. Or is my life taking a toll on my condition?

I need a revisit, a revision, a reboot... Dammit!

...

This is probably the most important line in this post because I finally knew how to explain it:

I don't know the reasons but for the past few months, I always slept shaking about and feeling I've accomplished nothing.

Nothing. *echoes*

Nothing.

Nothing.

Europe update coming soon and also other updates as well...
