just finished watching lars and the real girl. wat a special film. special.. just like silje nergaard's the waltz, or a jon brion song ost of eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. i wanted to say it was "nice" but i don't feel tt word does it any justice. fantastic acting too. it was all very... unassuming. makes me feel good bout life. you know?
it's come to my attention tt since i'm not sure when, i've been incapable of remaining seated and attentive for more than 20 minutes when watching a film. i wonder if there's anything wrong with me. or could it be tt i'm just being human? (since humans- i presume- aren't genetically engineered to remain seated, staring at a screen of moving colours for extended periods of time). but watever. it shouldn't bother me. it's possible tt i've always done this with every movie i've ever seen and i just don't remember because i seldom see shows nowadays. yes, tt could be it.
it's slightly annoying being stuck at home AND not being able to do things like dance and sing loudly because i have a sore throat, or cook up a feast or try baking something because i have stomach issues, or (other fun things i can't think of right now).

:: Goodnight Moon - shivaree
What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
out of action for a while. guess it's good tt i have to stay in and rest. next week is baybeats weekend so i want to be well rested for tt though prob wont be able to make it for the whole weekend cos of annoying last min commitments.
three weeks from now, i have three gigawigs so it's kind of annoying not being able to practise. esp since i'm currently jobless. but i concede tt being sick always puts me back on track.. the track of imgonnaadopthealthyhabitsfromnowonifidontwannadieof(insert random disease name).
as a result of being a recent homebody, i've watched more movies in the past 3 days than i have the whole previous month. *applause* thank you.
i'm gonna miss my kids. i wonder if 20 years from now, any of them will remember the lessons we had together. just like how i can still vividly recall some of the times spent with my p1 teachers. oh well, guess no point pondering; we'll just have to wait 20 yrs to see, won't we?
in the meantime, i'll busy myself with cutting up more classifieds while waiting for my aed news. got an offer from the HI sch and from my french boy's best friend's parents to teach their two boys. we'll see what the ministry comes back to me with. ideally, i'll be getting paid for training, while working my oddjobs here and there. sounds pretty fucktastic but i really don't want to put my hopes too high. remember what happened the last time things looked like they were going well, amelia? - oh yes, all too cleary.

:: Farewell to the Fairground - white lies
keep on running
keep keep on running
there's no place like home
there's no place like home!
wah shiok.
so anyway, life is ok. i wish i had more time on weekends though. i wish i had more energy on weekdays. of course this second bit could be remedied simply by sleeping earlier. sounds like a bit too much effort, think i'll sidestep and just keep on whining.
stupid and childish parents (not mine) are currently my biggest pet peeves, along with their ever-annoying children. seriously, kids... you CANNOT be stupid and lazy at the same time ok. just choose ONE; don't be greedy. lagi you want to be dishonest but you lack any sort of finesse when it comes to telling lies. stupid, lazy and dishonest- no brains, no respect and no friends. tt's just asking for a life of loneliness and boredom.. which the stupid little brats will attempt to ameliorate by blaming others and by an obscene amount of self-pity (see: the worthless lifeskill imparted to them by their thickheaded parents). for goodness' sake, if you want to raise your child to be socially defective, you ought to at least warn the rest of us. you and your child's incessant whining and delusion are producing a negative aura tt is invading my space and causing me to have a rash. damn yoo! damn you, i say!!

:: Use Somebody - kings of leon
call me swaku but i just only discovered this song last night. ok, i've just swtiched the channel to mtv and maybe this will alleviate it a little bit.
but anyway, fantastic song. i always marvel at how pple can make music tt can convey and evoke such emotion. or maybe it's just me being emo. i mean, songs like deftones' passenger.. the way the music builds up and then plateaus and then hits the peak and then comes down again.. the whole thing.. you dont have to listen to the words (which arent always audible anyway) to think SEX IN THE CAR- shiok sendiri sia. so anyway, be at the esplanade at 7.30 for a setful of fucktastic energy.
gotta figure out how to rush the damn syllabus to cover everything before the term tests. i love my kids.

:: In For The Kill - la roux (in my head)
i forgot to tell you the fantastic things i bought at flea n easy; a white layered sleeveless blouse 5$, a karencarpenter/marieosmond-esque dress for 8$, la roux cd 3$, the gum thief (coupland) and pure drivel (steve martin) 10$ total.
the guy who sold me the books had pretty cool stuff. he said he had shopgirl at home but he wasnt selling tt. he also had jpod but i decided tt was too thick a read for my attention span. we'll see how i do with this coupland first. pure drivel is fucking funny. it's really... pure drivel haha. zehzeh's gonna borrow it after im done.
why are some weekends so fucking packed? it's difficult trying to multitask where meeting up with friends is concerned. i wish it were all like msn- talk, close, talk to someone esle, close, open, talk to another, reply to yet another, take toilet break, strum guitar while catching up with another 3 pple... blablah. wish it were all as do-able vis-a-vis. you'd think advanced technology wouldve found the solution to my terrible time management. ok, so maybe you didn't think so. well i did. so.. ya. back to figuring out how tmr's gonna run.

:: Bulletproof - la roux
in love with this song right now. shiok. we should cover this.
gig today was good. don't mean to be smug but i think the sad little crowd liked us better than the emo-screamo bands tt played before us. tt's the thing bout those indie emo-screamo songs.. they all sound pretty much the same. oh wait, i've just been informed by marcus tt it's call "emocore". haha watever... i don't fancy it, watever it's called.
tmr, zouk flea mkt with karin! and got to call 3 of my kids' parents to make sure the kids are not having swine flu or some nonsense like tt. also on the agenda- mass and meeting up with daddy. jamming.. erm, it's only me loo and terence so we'll see how tt goes. maybe i'll skip tt for flea n easy.
school's getting harder and easier at the same time. the kids piss me off every day but i have one who keeps giving me little gifts. haha my very own fan. got my aed interview on monday. hope all goes well... so anyway, i've made a good friend of one of my colleagues and we have quite a bit in common. which is pretty cool. work is so much more exciting when you have someone there to commiserate with. she used to be in a band too. haha.
"This time baby, i'll be bulletproof."
oh yes, and... KARIN IS BAAAAAAAAACK!
