car-aoke

last night. i was watching a film, as i recall it was a horror film....

oh wait, wrong train of thought.

last night. when my sister and i drove home. we burst into song.

old school justin

+

human nature

+

britney

=

a 90's medley of sex.

human nature (whoa topless):

i don't know what's better. the main singer's hair that mirrors one of the umbilical brothers...or the fact that some members of this band could be the father of other members of this band.

the best song that we always sang in the car as children...was wishes

justin:

back when he was justified. with lots and lots of cheese for hair. the whole first album is pretty much the shizz. senorita, the hold my jacket song....um...like i love you, totes michael jackson's and cry me a river. the extreme high pitched chipmunk falsetto licks are the funnest parts to sing. also the low bits with high bits. eg. end of senorita and timbaland in cry me a river.

it's britney bitch:

classic 90's hair. mega slut strand fest. and a serious cameltoe to match. jesus christ that cameltoe is bad. how can it even go that high? anyway. hit me baby one more time is the best to sing. it's just the way she goes "oh babeh babeh". classic.

i'm glad we didn't crash.

foe-tography

i quite like photos. even bad ones.

it's amazing that you can instantly obtain part of what you can see into a shiny bit of cardboardy stuff. and polaroids are another wonder altogether.

photos on the covers of magazines.

rolling stone always manages to have good ones. i like in the glee cast pictures that they show what their character is like. notice mr schue undoing frog eye lady's dress while his wife terry is looking at herself in the mirror. she is also dressed like a fifties housewife; wanting everything to be perfect. also, i swear to god the person that plays rachel berry is always just looking for an excuse to be a whore. she has nine tatts. intense.

they also did a similar cover for friends:

oh how i love sailor outfits. the hat and the collar = nautical hotness.

even the ugliest loser would look cool. maybe not doable. but at least cool.

future sailors...ah yeah. go the mighty boosh.

photos of the sticker variety.

i also love sticker photos. best friends, friends, family. they are super swell fun.

i think this is my favourite sticker photos sesh so far. not cos of how i look. but cos my family is awesome. we took this after watching billy elliot the musical. go asians.

photos of hot people.

dhani harrison totallylookslike.com george harrison? WHAAA? no way? must have something to do with the fact that they are son and father??!?!

oooo...purple hair!

oooooo....glasses! (p.s. oh ringo. you're so random)

oooooooooo...chocolate milkshake!

photos of the vintage kind.

the beatles. excellent monty python like humour. amazing music. good movies. hot to look at. awesome clothes. these four people combined could satisfy me for the rest of my life.

photos of the most epic costume in the world.

at my educational institute in which i lead, teach and learn. one girl had the most epic costume the world has ever witnessed on "harry potter" day. it made my life.

(in case your epic-o-meter is not functioning properly, i am talking about voldy on the right)

photos of the unknown variety.

i have no idea where this picture is from. but when i saw it, i saved it. cos it's amazing. it just looks cool. i like the purple stripe thing.

so photos: friend or foe?

i vote friend.

MMM...goats?

disgusting animals.

goats cheese. the three billy goats gruff. goatee. fainting goats. men who stare at goats.

yeah they are equally interesting as they are boring.

but this is the funniest thing i have seen in a while.

a manboy going totally psycho over a goat climbing a ladder.

in a video game, no less.

it just keeps getting better. his comments. his laugh dying away. so. damn. good.

i usually hate teenage boy laughing. all testy pops and totally out of control. but fuck this guy is contagious. everything he says makes me feel pure joy.

another thing that induces pure joy? the song MMMBop by Hanson. childhood memories going haywire. the tacky video clip with the green screen. and all those damn flowers. and roller blading around town. good times.

but i always thought the only lyrics were "mmmbop".

how wrong i was.

You have so many relationships in this life

Only one or two will last

You go through all this pain and strife

Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast

And they're gone so fast

So hold on to the ones who really care

In the end they'll be the only ones there

When you get old and start losing your hair

Can you tell me who will still care?

Can you tell me who will still care?

Mmm bop, ba duba dop

Ba du bop, ba duba dop

Ba du bop, ba duba dop

Ba du

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose

You can plant any one of those

Keep planting to find out which one grows

It's a secret no one knows

It's a secret no one knows

no one knows

In an mmm bop they're gone.

In an mmm bop they're not there.

In an mmm bop they're gone.

In an mmm bop they're not there.

Until you lose your hair. But you don't care.

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.

Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?

Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?

Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.

that's right. rose is in there. several times. how special i feel right now. oh yes.

don't know about the losing hair line though. i hate baldness.

but still. pretty deep for a bunch of kids.

i could so go for some roller blading right now.

tired. stressed.

you'll feel better on swisse. (yeah i watch huey's cooking adventures. what of it?)

(yeah i know it's for prostate. i did it on purpose. i knew you would enjoy it)

there are currently nine people living in my house.

all asian extended family.

hello discomfort.

waking up with "strangers" near your face.

can't get changed without having someone see you.

can't go to the bathroom without waiting for at least another hour.

can't go on the computer without two+ people standing behind you snooping about.

seriously...GO AWAY!

i just want like five minutes....actually like.....lots of five minutes....put together.

oh dear lord. i really take my space for granted. and now that it's gone....i just want nothing more than to have like 2m by 2m of "me" area.

seriously, i am getting squashed like this baby right here:

so anyway yeah. trying to escape snoopy people is making me tired and stressed. but i refuse to take swisse.

all alone

i have commitment issues. i always only choose one or two people to be really really close with.

no doubt i am friends with everybody and joke around and stuff.

but when it comes to really staying around, there is only a few friends, some family and SRC (i'm the president and i'm not gonna let anyone down. when i say i'm gonna do something, i do it.)

that's why i keep most people far away. there are a few reasons for this and here is the first:

The Grand List of Best Friends

1. my first best friend when i was about 6, named morgan, was my english neighbour. we made lavender perfume, ate pizza, watched cartoons and movies, had april fool's day everyday and walked all the dogs on the street. after a couple of years of this daily activity, morgan and her family had to move back to england. leaving me...all alone.
2. my best friend in year 2, i would have been 8, used to play in "fairy world" with me everyday. she invented the imaginary world and we used to run around the oval having adventures with fairies (no shit), goblins and other midget creatures. one day, stephanie (twas her name) decided that i was banned from fairy world and became best friends with kelly. we didn't talk again til year 4.
3. the bestest friend i've ever had was called georgia. from year 3 to year 7, she was my best friend. we just laughed all the time. seriously anything and everything is funny to us. everytime we meet up again we spend about 90.87% of the time laughing. it's not awkward at all even though we live and school at different places. i really should see her more often...but we kind of just drifted apart.
4. from year 7, i had a few best friends which didn't last long and i am still really close with them now but we are either in different groups or just have totally different interests. in this group of people i would put in chronological order: bec, amy, sarah, marina
5. from year 9, my best friend was and is jenna. she is sarcastic all the time (perfect for me), super funny and we were put together in maths. well not really. but we sat in pairs and her friends and my friends had all evened up. leaving us as the odd remainders and "forced" to sit together. at this time i was obsessed with england. (previously germany, canada, france, america and currently sweden) when she came back from her europe trip, including england, she had randomly bought me a pen with the british flag on it and one of those buckingham palace guard dude's head on the top. yes we have the perfect friendship. lazy. half arsed and unspoken. she doesn't talk much. i talk at her but really i'm talking to myself most of the time. we are both really tired all the time (she = chronic fatigue, me = insomnia & anemia). we have similar, nay the exact same, interests. pretty much perfect. but the only fault is that we just sit around. 24/7, we are physically close but emotionally, we both hold back. i think we will stay friends for the rest of our lives though and potentially reach that emotional closeness before death....possibly on our deathbeds next to each other.
6. having said that, the person i am probably the most emotionally close with that is not a member of my family is amelia. she is another great friend. i basically talk with her all night every night.

so these failed best friendships have made me hesitant to fully let go. stupid, i know but i'm happy with half arsed. especially cos jenna is a genius and i'm amazingly awesome. we are basically the same person.

next up: The Family and Relationships

1. my parents are never home cos they are at work. i actually do not see them at all unless dad is driving me somewhere. their only day off is sunday. we used to go out on day trips every sunday but now we only have tea together, if that.
2. my sister diana and i have a strained relationship. she used to slap me (worse was the face cos you could see the hand approaching) when i was little and be really mean. when i was about 10 and realised this, i returned the favour and was verbally abusive to her til i was about 15. no doubt she equalled this but it was a nasty thing all round. now she has moved out and matured a lot, actually acting her age and as an older sister. we have made up and understand each other more but definitely still fight (like normal sisters...no?)
3. my eldest sister kitty is the appointed ersatz mother. since i am the youngest, she paid extra attention to me. i actually only felt that she was the only person that truly cared about me. then when she got married (yes it's normal i know), she moved out of house. but the thing that was really upsetting was that she moved overseas too. from one extreme to the other. now i only have contact with her on a bi-monthly basis. (laziness and occupiedness on both our parts)
4. my sister rainbow is the closest to me in terms of age. we share pretty much everything. since we were kids we were probably the closest. but through our adolescent years, we drifted apart. she goes out every night and every day and i'm under house confinement.
5. with family out of the way, i will confess that i've never had a real relationship. well, i wouldn't count anything less than a month and younger than when i was 14. and the current one i am in, though it has just passed a month, is quite frustrating indeed.

i only choose to be with lazy or neglectful people so i know what to expect and won't be disappointed. but i am quite happy with my family and friends at the moment.

another reason: Home Alone

this poor kid was/is me every single frickin day. home alone. without parents.

he was screwed over again in home alone 2, in a new location: new york.

he couldn't take it anymore so a new kid was recruited for home alone 3.

then in home alone 4, yet another child was traumatised.

but anyway. this is way too much opening up for me to handle so i have to stop now.
