No matter what they say
Okay, what happened yesterday was an industry talk in college. The talk was given by the Crime Desk Editor, Tony Emmanuel, and it proved to be quite enlightening.
When I'm passionate about something, go below.
Is one of the silliest songs I've ever heard. Worse than Le Crazee Frog.
Silly little poetry that proves just why I should never attempt them.
Taken from:
(J-Pop) Utada Hikaru: Sakura DORAPPUSU (Sakura Drops)
11th Single
Koi wo shite owari wo tsuge
Chikau koto wa kore ga saigo no HEARTBREAK
Sakura sae kaze no naka de
Yurete yagate hana wo sakasu yo
Falling in love, saying goodbye[1]
With a vow that this is the last heartbreak
Even the cherry tree, swaying in the wind
Will eventually blossom
Furidashita natsu no ame ga
Namida no yoko wo tootta sutto
Omoide to DABURU eizou
Aki no DORAMA no saihousou
The summer rain that started to fall
gently streaked past my tears
Images that resemble memories
Autumn's drama reruns
Doushite onaji you na PANCHI
Nando mo kuracchaun da
Sore demo mata tatakaun darou
Sore ga inochi no fushigi
Why have I suffered
Almost the same blows such countless times?
But even so, I'll probably fight again
That is one of life’s mysteries
Koi wo shite subete sasage
Negau koto wa kore ga saigo no HEARTBREAK
Sakura sae toki no naka de
Yurete yagate hana wo sakasu yo
Falling in love, giving it everything
With a wish that this is the last heartbreak
Even the cherry tree, swaying through time
Will eventually blossom
Kurikaesu kisetsu no naka de
Kutsu ga surihetteku motto
In the revolving seasons
My shoes are wearing out, more and more
Kata no chikara nuite
Kako wa dokoka ni shimatte oke
Koko kara sou tookunai darou
Mita koto mo nai keshiki
Let go the tension in your shoulders
So you can seal away the past somewhere
From here they're probably not too far
Sceneries you haven’t even seen
Tomaranai mune no itami
Koete motto kimi ni chikazukitai yo
Hitomawari shite wa modori
Aoi sora wo zutto tesaguri
I want to overcome the ceaseless pain in my chest
And become closer to you
I have wandered about once and returned[2]
Always grasping for the blue sky
Koi wo shite owari wo tsuge
Chikau koto wa kyou ga saisho no GOOD DAY
Sakura made kaze no naka de
Yurete sotto kimi ni te wo nobasu yo
Falling in love, saying goodbye
With a vow that today's the first good day
Everything, even the cherry tree, swaying in the wind
Softly reaches out toward you
Suki de suki de dou shiyou mo nai
Sore to kore to wa kankei nai
I love you I love you, it can't be helped
That has nothing to do with this

Found it. Love this song.
Soundscape is DONE!!
Is just how much my dad screws up the computer and then blames my brother and me.

Stolen from Serge. Pictures will be up at the beginning of NEXT week, BTW, ppl! I need to get through my assignments first! c:p (Now that's a silly emoticon!)
The sky was dark
An open letter to a friend of mine. You know who you are. Shut up, read, and if you still consider yourself my friend, drop me a line. By email, SMS, I don't care. If you don't, at least have the courtesy to tell me anyway.
The amount of length some people would go to to avoid me.
Okay, this is probably going to be posted on like a hundred different blogs (fine, about thirty or so!). This is basically what happened:
Just finished shooting today. We went to SMK Bandar Baru Sri Petaling for shooting. Rather interesting, though tiring, especially after yesterday.
Alli, if you're reading this, I know now exactly what you meant about your sleeping patterns.
SPLANGST= When you've gone beyond WANGST.
Of Paul Moss.
This year's was quite bad.
Chapter 1. Your General Compatibility with Each Other
Falls in sheets, covering the ground.
I was talking to a friend today who took back the AC for a bit to make a few copies (she passing me one later on) and something came up. Why are all the cute guys on the evil side? Okay, I have to admit that I tend to like guys who seem to be too good to be true, but these are people, who, in the end, have a dark side to them. (You know who you are. Both of you, so hush!)
When all I really need is a PC with MS Word in it. At this point I'd even take Open Office, but no such luck. t_t
Yes, it seems like I'm really getting boring, aren't I? Can't even think of a decent title.
Am I the only one amused that a year after Gmail has done it, Yahoo is finally adding features similar to it?
NO SPOILERS HERE THOUGH!!
I wonder what's up with Google. Found the lyrics that I wanted in an odd way. Oh well, here they are, though it's the TV version, so it's quite short. Taken from here
In this case, list of things to do:
No one should EVER have to get up this early. Seriously.
That has no weight whatsoever in real life at all. If you take what I say here and treat it as though it was factual when it isn't, you are asking for trouble. If, however, you are taking it as a jumping board to more research, then I applaud you. Only the following has no basis whatsoever in reality other than my brain (and not even there at times- The Muses). /Disclaimer
Before I start writing on the issue that's got me worked up this morning:
And one of the reasons I use my blog is to vent.
Things I discovered:
Seven Things Naoko Plans To Do Before She Dies
- visit the Vatican
- Write an enjoyable fiction/fantasy book
- Not to disappoint those who need me
- Always have enough for not just myself, but the people and causes I care about
- To be able to go through life with the sense and wonder of a child, yet with the maturity needed to understand the other adults
- Collect books, rare ones that give me mental orgasms (details on this later)
- Be with the one I love for eternity
7 Celebrity Crushes
- Orlando Bloom (sucker for pretty faces)
- Marion Zimmer Bradley (R.I.P.)
- Tolkien
- That's all I can think of for now.
7 Often Repeated WORDS/PHRASES
- Yo! How're you?
- What the..? (Followed by either: Hotel or Foxtrot)
- You're kidding me!
- *Headpalm/ facepalm*
- Oh crap. I knew I forgot something.
- God, why me?
- Hmm....
7 Physical Traits Naoko Looks For In the Opposite Sex
- Short hair, or well-kept long hair
- Dresses casually without looking scruffy
- No tummy that can be seen from the front (so gross!)
- Taller than me a little bit
- Well-built, or at least looks fit
- Will let you know when I think of them
Please take this if you can. Especially Viv and Lin. :p
List of things needed to be done/ buy/ etc:
My legs are aching, I realise why I don't like working with kids, and I have never felt more bored.
September 11 has come and gone. I did not mourn for the people who were killed. I did not know them, nor did I really care. This apathy stems not from my disillusionment with America, but is more of a case of, "Tak tahu, maka tak cinta," or in English, "How can you love something you don't know?"
Lunch was a tube of hazelnut paste with cocoa. You have been warned.
To Note to Muse
This is a proper update, in which I tell people what's been happening.
1. I finished my Script. WOOT!
One of the biggest risks that most Asians face while blogging is the risk of being hauled up for posting comments that could be construed as seditious remarks. True, for many of us this seems fair, especially if the comments came from us. But what if they were not?
**Yes, I stole this from Serge, but it involves most other Malaysians anyway**
So today on Gaia, I open up my PM box to realise that someone has sent me an email telling me just HOW to stop people from sending me spam. Excuse me, but during what point in our conversation that did you NOT get that the girl you're talking to knows her way around the Internet? Sounds like he's trying to pick up girls. Bleh.
Note to self: Never, EVER repeat what my relatives say to another relative. I can do without the stupidity and angst.
According to the notice I saw at the Cafeteria Cashiers, they are no longer accepting RM1 coins because to exchange them would incur a loss for Finance.
Getting him involved with me? Since it'll entail him dealing with the stuff my family can throw at people.
I have been spending wayy too much time

Libra Midheaven
Your destiny will involve you in activities that draw on your strong sense of justice, your love of harmony and artistic talent. You are very adaptable, patient and persistent in working toward your goals. You may seem flexible, but you have an inner resolve that no one can make you change. <==How very true
You will follow no one; you go by your own rules, but in an unobtrusive way. You find the best way of doing things without bothering others or calling attention to yourself. You usually forget any slights or offenses you may receive, but could harbor resentments which may cause you to "get even" when you feel that you are in a position to do so. <== As much as I hate to dispute this, it's true.
Your inner world is very reserved and you always show a charming smile, a gentle and gracious manner, a soft voice and a humble attitude toward others. Diplomacy and personal charm are your best assets. <== Ask anyone who knows me, this is too true.
Your career choice could be one of the following professions: attorney, diplomat, judge, mediator, umpire, artist, fashion designer, cosmetologist, salesperson, barber, public relations (*Sheepish grin*) or any other profession where you would be in contact with the public.
Mars in 10th house
Whatever your profession, you will be very persistent, vigorous, active and dominant. You have executive qualities and finish quickly every project you start. You are a good leader and work hard to attain management positions with authority. You are very ambitious and may find some adversities in your professional path. These adversities will make you stronger instead of weaker. You will consider the goals you achieve with your own effort and tenacity very important. Among the possibilities for your profession are the military, engineering, mechanical work or any sport. <== I wish.
Saturn in 10th house
Throughout your life you accept countless responsibilities, have many ambitions and excellent business ability. Also, you are well organized and persist in achieving your goals. If the relationship with your father was positive, you will have the capacity and authority to handle and lead others, otherwise, you could undervalue your own efforts, feel insecure with your choices and may not accomplish your professional goals. You could do well in laborious occupations that require wisdom and evaluation, in administrative fields or those related to land. Whatever you choose, you are likely to remain with it for a long time. <== Sounds like a plan.
Pluto in 10th house
You have a great capacity to excel as a leader and to handle large groups of people. In order to achieve success, you will have to learn to be more patient and flexible, and to control your tendency to be tyrannical. It is likely that your professional life will be dedicated to producing changes and transformations in your environment, or to healing others through the fields of medicine or psychiatry, or to managing a large corporation. Whatever your profession, you are sure to attain a very authoritative position; people will either love you or hate you, but you never will be unnoticed. <== Damn.
Ruler of 10th house in 10th House
Your father's image will be very influential in your life; he may sometimes lend considerable support, and other times may inhibit and frustrate your initiatives. For that reason, it wouldn't be wise to work with your father. You accept responsibilities, have many ambitions and excellent business ability. You are organized and persevering. If the relationship with your father was positive, you will have the authority and ability to lead others; otherwise, you may undervalue your own efforts, feel insecure with your choices and may not accomplish your professional goals. Your greatest frustration will be the limitation of your personal freedom because of the many responsibilities you assume. <== I hate my dad.
You may also abandon your goals or feel that it is very difficult to achieve what you want.
S Q U E E !!
Meh.
Business skirts. Fun, but seriously impractical. No place to put my wallet and phone.
When I said that I over-rationalised, I meant it. Sometimes when I say something, the reasoning behind it appears from nowhere in my head, but I won't tell people because it may seem complicated.
If a guy, after chatting with you and learning more about you, in the space of a few days/weeks, suddenly starts saying that he loves you, it means either:
Today was not really a good day. Spent the whole morning in the editing lab doing video capturing, and finished my lecture commentary quite late, entering PR late.
I think I may wear this denim skirt more often. It's comfy to run in.
I'm wearing a denim skirt for the heck of it.
1. Wear glasses. Or have some sort of sight impediment that came about from either reading too much or looking at the computer screen. (Easiest sign of geekiness)
Should not go together in the morning with a large serving. It makes me sleepy.
1. I love Malaysia, but I can’t stand politicians, especially Najib.

Brimming wild energy inside the body
Overflowing, unfasten and release it now
A miracle happens (a new world)
I'm not alone anymore
Whatever I do, surprisingly
I can't keep up with my surroundings
Even if I have found my calling
It would be knocked down
Thinking that it's okay
That it's just normal
While not finding a way out
I'm giving up trying altogether
(Anyone around?)
Looking for a rainbow
I'm always watching the sky
Picturing a blue bird fly to me from somewhere
I open the window
Nothing happens (a quiet world)
It's just me, all alone
Swept along by petty reasons
Before I'm aware of it, already I'm out on the street
If there's nobody looking at me
I'd also forget to look at other people
In this always humble life of mine
Right into the midst of it
Just like a flash of lightning in the clear sky
You appear
(My heart shakes)
Brimming wild energy inside the body
Overflowing, unfasten and release it now
Don't hesitate, just go on like that
You told me this
A miracle happens (a new world)
I'm not alone anymore
Brimming wild energy inside the body
Overflowing, unfasten and release it now
In this tiny world, there's nothing to be worried about
Open the door which has been buried in junk
A miracle happens (a dazzling world)
I'm not alone anymore
Don't hesitate, just go on like that
You told me this
So let's get out there
I'm not alone anymore
Damn you, Serge!
KOI GOKORO
Why I cannot stand certain lecturers.
I missed CF today because of shooting and He repays me by giving me a drink (literally) when I need it the most.
LOVE ME, I LOVE YOU
