I'm getting so used to Tweeting that the urge to blog has kind of faded away. Except today. -- I guess I used to take friendships for granted. That's why the situation now isn't that comfy. I only hope this will improve. Hope. -- OMG Malaysia's been fun! Bought myself a brand new pair of specs with Dolce & Gabbana written on the sides (it's a fake okay; you heard it here and only here sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Actually, it looks really nice and it's RM40 WITH DEGREE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. THAT"S LIKE $18. I feel good already :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Stayed at New York Hotel. Amenities could improve but I'm not complaining :) INTERNET CONNECTION SUCKS. PERIOD. OMG MOVIE WAS RM10 PER TICKET! That's like $4 WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I'm so gonna watch movies across the Causeway :D I can safely say I eat like a king here. WHEE! CONCLUSION: I <3 JB YO! So coming here again :) -- That's all I have to blog. PROJECTS ARE THE BANE OF MY LIFE. CREATING VLOGS IS MY SAVIOUR. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended. Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 1:25 PM Try. Sometimes, I wonder why I try so much to appease people. To ensure they never get upset by me. To the point where I feel like a piece of worthless crap sometimes. -- It takes guts to lower your self-esteem just to make others happy. But whenever I head home, I feel worthless. Like I'm useless & there's nothing good about myself. My mum once said: "What's the point of making others happy when you're not happy in the end?" Does making others happy make me happy in the end? I don't know. I don't know. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended. Wednesday, November 11, 2009 @ 5:56 PM “A Christmas Carol” Exclusive Preview Movie Contest: Blog Entry Well well, I've finally succumbed to doing contest blog entries since Sadali struck GOLD and TICKETS doing one by Nuffnang. Ok, that was random. Anyhow. So, I'm supposed to figure out which 4 characters Jim Carrey has played in the upcoming movie "A Christmas Carol" WHICH I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I had a look through the hint-giver but as you would most probably know, I'm not a games-y person (the last online game I played being Word Challenge on Facebook burnt me out really badly). If you don't, gosh you need to start talking more to me, yo! So, THANK GOD FOR IMDB! The 4 characters (more like voices since it's a animation film :D)are... Scrooge Ghost of Christmas Past Ghost of Christmas Present Ghost of Christmas Future So, here's the trailer and I LOVE IT <3 Very nice juxtaposition of Carrey's 4 characters. Of course, CGI's top-notch (being in Mass Comm, I'd know) and I absolutely adore the cheesy pumped-up-orchestra sound at the last part of the trailer. As my Video Production teacher Mr Loh would say, "Cliches make people remember." You know the drill, at the end of it I'm supposed to write a stock sentence to end off this post. But somehow, with the exciting premise, holiday feel (ION sales!) and perfect execution, I can definitely say: “A CHRISTMAS CAROL” OPENS IN SINGAPORE CINEMAS 19 November 2009! Ok, I can't believe I said that. LOL. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended. @ 3:10 PM Enlightened. TWT was great, seriously. Ms Lai managed to paint such a clear picture of the Cold War that I finally understood the tensions between South Ossetia and Georgia. Syadza was right. We should appreciate the past in order to understand the future and find out exactly what to do next. I'm bookmarking BBC. Sure, the seniors might say "Wait till you do the projects" but for now, I shall bask in the optimism. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended. Thursday, November 5, 2009 @ 3:13 PM It was a misunderstanding after all. Sometimes, I infer way too much. Thanks to those who took the pains to clarify with me today. I'm human and I err too. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended. @ 2:37 PM Bored. Ok, this will be quick, unlike my other posts. In Foodcourt 6 now, waiting to start New Writing class with Ms Leong. Turns out Web Publishing test is on Week 5. Bad, bad time due to the Theatre Compass play happening in that week. But the times don't clash, so I guess I'll just have to pull through like I always do. :) One World Day with the Stompers was fun! I think we did an awesome job considering we only met yesterday evening to think up of the beats and practice. Yes, we did screw up the finale but Ms Lum said it was okay. I'll take her word for that. DPA lunch was good as always. Meeting Priscilla and Esther is getting a lot more fun now. I don't feel like I'm catching up anymore, just meeting. I really believe I get more out of Econs tutorials than lectures. I'm trying to keep up but Mrs Ng explains with great length during tutorials IN LAYMAN TERMS while she does the exact opposite at lectures. She is a nice lecturer and person (no doubt about that), but I'm getting a much clearer picture during tutorials. And now I'm typing away. Ciao! Shah p.s. CONGRATS TO THE SPOT TEAM FOR PUTTING UP AN EXCELLENT EVENT! One World Day has been as good as it can get and it's all thanks to the awesome team! GO SPOT! :D Thought: Completed and Ended. Wednesday, November 4, 2009 @ 4:51 PM Once upon a time. Once upon a time, there was a boy named Shah. He was full of child-like innocence but always wanted to know more about the world. He wanted to be an astronaut and dreamt of owning his own island. But then, he soon realized that his classmates in K2 were the socializing type, not the thirst-for-intelligence type. He took a look at himself in the mirror and thought that he was not making any friends because he did not look like them, did not talk like them, did not act like them. Slowly, he began to blend in. But as he crept up the levels of primary school, he was frustrated at blending in. Sure enough, he was getting more friends and his classmates were beginning to let him sit next to them for recess, but now he felt as blah as a white wall. Maybe partly due to rebellion, he burst out and began to stand out in different ways. From taking charge of group projects to hosting school events to creating the events themselves, he did it all. Once he was in Primary 6, the Primary 1 students already knew his name, when he didn’t even know them. I guess you could say “he made it big” considering the things that are considered big at that time for a 12-year-old. He liked the feeling. He didn’t want it to end. He wanted more friends. It went downhill from there. -- Fast forward to 3 November 2009. Now, Shah is all out and sundry. He thinks blending in is for losers and being true to oneself is of paramount importance. Today, he is now confused as to the consequences of his thought process. He realizes how much he has been an outcast ever since he decided in Primary 2 not to blend in anymore. He used to be mature for his age. He used to be the know-it-all without letting all of that get to his head. He used to be the one who knew everyone and everyone knew him. He used to be popular. He looks back and wonders how much he tried to blend in after deciding that standing out would cause his detriment. He looks back and wonders how much he tried to ensure that he could flit across many cliques in primary, secondary and now in tertiary school. He looks back and wonders how much he tried not to do anything this week and he was treated like a wall. He looks back and wonders how much he tried. -- It’s a very interesting thing, this struggle with wanting to find the right friends. When you do find the right friend, you spend forever with him or her before realizing that 2 weeks in, it gets too clingy. When you don’t find the right friend, you search high and low for them but realize that they already have their circle of friends. (That’s fixed by the way. Hierarchy and numbers play an important role in ensuring the stability of the clique. Didn’t you know that already?) Don’t you want friends? Don’t you want someone you can always fall back upon? I had friends. I don’t know where they are now. I don’t know if my ignorance has cost the friendship. I don’t know if they still want to be my friends. I now know why I want to be friends with the popular ones. I used to be there. Not anymore. -- I know that I don’t fit in. No matter how much I try, I just can’t be like everyone else. Call me a weirdo. Call me a hyperactive child. Call me a trashy crap-onista. I used to care so much. Especially when someone says that they don’t care about any criticism & brickbats from others: don’t take that at face value. I’d never have a good night’s sleep, which is why I have so many sleepless nights thinking about how to make myself better for the people I want to get close to. I’d come into the LT thinking that about half the crowd there thinks I’m an empty vessel that makes the most noise and has the most limp wrists and hands. I’d come into Studio 19 having the entire class and their teacher laugh at me when I pass through their class during their lesson, just to get through to the other side. I’d be really upset at not getting the opportunity to front so many CASS, SPOT & other events simply because I don’t fit in. I’d be upset when I know I have all the knowledge I can possibly cram into my massive head and yet someone else who’s asleep can answer a difficult question. I don’t deserve this shit. I know I’m way stronger to overcome that. But why do I still get it? And why do I still get teary-eyed every time I think about it? -- Screw this system. If people are going to ignore me when I’m no longer the loud-mouthed, smart aleck Shah and instead am the quiet, polite, blending-in Shah, then I’m going to be stuck at blending in with the wall. Maybe standing out is not a good thing. Maybe it’s an awesome thing. Its difficult not to care and slowly let go of the past I once lived, but it has got to happen in order for me to move on. I wanted to be popular. Now that even DMC Year 2s I’ve never even heard of, have flamed my blog at accusatory comments about a lecturer that was written in the heat of the moment (I was really depressed due to those nasty comments), I now know that you can never escape the wrath of the high school structure. I’m now popular in the sickest way you can imagine. Having my former co-actress for an upcoming drama play snigger at me whenever I pass by her is just the stab in the back I need. -- Gosh, the things we do to get acceptance and love. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended. Friday, October 23, 2009 @ 1:54 PM Departed. From Esther's DTVM VC Project photo-shoot. Kudos to Esther for the awesome time me and Priscilla had! :D I've been listening to the song Departed by Brandy for quite some time now and I do feel that the lyrics resonate with my current situation somewhat. I feel lucky to have people to rely on when times are not too optimistic. I'm at Foodcourt 5 in Singapore Polytechnic. I'm seeing this old Malay woman cleaning tables religiously, as if it was her entitlement. It seems that her legs can no longer take the job at hand, but she still continues with the perseverance many can admire if their heart's that compassionate. Her grandson, barely 10-ish, is helping her clean the tables as well. Looks like he's on holiday break. Or he doesn't attend school. My heart goes out to them. -- Sometimes, I complain on how my shoes and bags break ever-so-often and I have to keep replacing them every month or so, or how sometimes my family has to scrimp in order to survive the last week of the month, or how others can get that Crumpler bag to adorn their buffed and tanned bodies and I have none of that. Sometimes, I think I'm being a spoilt brat. Now that my mum has been promoted in her job, the monthly earnings will definitely go up. But I think it's time for me to forgo the importance of material wealth over more pressing matters. -- I look over my laptop screen. The grandmother's telling the son on how to clean the trays properly. He complains of thirst. "Don't worry, I'll get you a drink, grandson. Now, go clean some more tables," says the grandmother reassuringly. The son prances off while the grandmother takes out her purse, looks inside it and sighs. I feel tears forming in my eyes. -- Lately, I've been trying to cut down on spending, but it seems that food & drink expenditures have gone up by a lot. Blame it on the hot weather and my penchant for snacking at odd times. Gosh, how I badly need to save some money. I've been living on the mantra that money can be earned, but pressing money-related matters cannot be delayed. Which is why I'm willing to go broke in order to get dinner for my family when my mum runs out of money. A little sacrifice for a lot of happiness. I'm counting down the days to my paycheck collection date. Can't wait. -- I'm just frustrated at the craze of material possessions that's happening around us. That Crumpler bag. That LV tote. That Topman skinny jeans. That Burberry purse. That Newton condominium. That Lamborghini car. Frankly, I'm also not spared from it (ditto my MacBook) but have we ever thought of those who can't afford to even pay their utility bills because they were not given the education they need to survive the qualification-centric corporate world of Singapore? My family's an example of that family that managed to pick themselves up and ride on the coattails of success. I must thank my mum for having the tenacity to keep fighting on for 10 years. For a person to sacrifice their wants and desires for 3650 days just for their children is admirable. She could have walked out on me and my sister and live the life that was ahead of her, but she chose to stay on. She made me learn this very important lesson: The more material possessions you have, the more you're trying to make up for the deficiencies and lack of substance and love in other areas of your life. Which is indeed true (Paris Hilton's a classic case). So, I've learnt to distance myself away from temptations that will lure me further into a downward spiral of spending more than my means. Of course that doesn't mean I'll go cold turkey, but I'll spend only when I need it (and I'll source out for cheaper alternatives that look good as well). It's stupid how many people are willing to queue outside LV's Ion Orchard branch for an hour to lay their hands on a $1000+ tote when it's constructed for only a fraction of that price. The things we do to fill the voids in our life. -- And the first thing I'm doing to fill the void in my life is to get our family back together and start reclaiming back the lost times that we had in the last 10 years. I'm officially making up. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended. Thursday, October 22, 2009 @ 9:03 AM YAY FOR 4-DAY SCHOOL WEEKS! Hello, gorgeous people! Gosh, I love my timetable because I HAVE NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY! :D YAY FOR ME TO CATCH UP ON MY SLEEP MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. -- In Web Publishing class now. Adrian's going through HTML codes and web designs. OOH INTERESTING! :) Ok, I have nothing to blog about. Pardon me for the random update. Shah. Thought: Completed and Ended. Monday, October 19, 2009 @ 9:59 AM FAIL OF THE DAY. see more Epic Fails The first line of the score reads "I love little pussy, her coat is so warm". WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. :D Shah Edit//5.43pm I did some research and found out that this is actually a NURSERY RHYME. OHMYFUCK. Lyrics: I love little pussy Her coat is so warm And if I don't hurt her She'll do me no harm I'll sit by the fire And give her some food(?!) And pussy will love me Because I am good Sounds like a very sordid sexual fantasy to me. The moment you think like a dude, the suggestive lyrics will just tear you apart in hysterical laughter. GOD, I'M LAUGHING PRETTY BADLY NOW. Shah Thought: Completed and Ended.
