I think that I am secretly possessed by a spirit from ASOS. And since we know that 'Idle Hands Are The Devil's Playground' and combine that with my 'typical impulsive shopaholic' behavior, I ended up buying quite a number of stuff from ASOS. I mean, how could I not when most of the items were on MASSIVE discount, right? (inserts innocent face)
I've been eyeing on that canvas bag for a long time. And when the price significantly dropped by 50%, I knew it was a sign from God telling me that I should grab it. It's gorgeous, right? As for the rest of the accessories, they're really gorgeous and my overall look would never be complete without them.
Yeah, I am superficial like that. Judge me all you want, please.
"In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were scared to have and the decisions we waited too long to make. There comes a time in your life when you realise who matters, who doesn't, who never did and who always will. So don't worry about the people from your past, there's a reason they didn't make it to your future."
Have been feeling very emotional as of late.
Trying to force out a smile but I'll look ridiculous, as much as I try.
Is there someone out there who's able to make me smile? Or give me a reason to smile? Because I really miss the happy-go-lucky, always full of smiles kind of guy that I used to be before I was thrown into this hell hole, the place where I'm at right now.

Call me superstitious. I don't care. I'll still make a wish whenever the clock strikes 11:11 every single night (or day). Tonight, it's slightly special just because today's date is 1/1/11 and I wanna wish for the following for the year 2011...
Better Financial Management. I seriously have no idea on how to save money because I'll end up spending everything eventually. Like what I told Siti the other day, "I save money just so that I can spend money eventually." I can't carry on like this. I need to save. I refuse to even go out just because I'm broke. Terrible. So I need to save. And when the year-end sale comes next year, I know I'll be ready! Who's up for shopping?
Lose even more weight. Yeah so I lost 10kg ++ during my NS training. But I wanna lose more weight. I'm motivated to exercise and run and eat healthily!
Time to pass by even faster. I'm gonna be in a foreign country for one freaking year! Away from home, friends, my room. I know 2011 just started about 24 hours ago but I want it to end already because by then I'll be back here in Singapore.
Kylie Minogue to announce a concert in Singapore (again) in 2012. Not in 2011. I want to go see her perform live once again. After all, she is one of my favourite music artists. Heh Heh.
Of course, not forgetting.. I just want to be happy at the end of the day.

Happiness comes in many forms. In the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dreams come true, or in a promise of hope renewed. It’s ok to let yourself be happy, because you never know how great that happiness might be. Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life, that you expect it to always be there, because you can’t remember a time in your life when it wasn’t. But then one day you feel something else. Something that feels wrong only because it’s so unfamiliar, and in that moment you realize you’re happy. - Lucas Scott (One Tree Hill)

If you could choose, would you...
Live your childhood over again.. Most definitely yes! When we were kids, we didn't have anything to worry about. Sure there's disappointments from the people we love.. but I seemed to handle it much better back then. Just as long as I can come back to right where I am standing right now, Yes I would, just so I can better appreciate it the second time 'round.
Have grown up in a different decade or era.. Weird question. I'd say yes. Probably back in my parents generation. I wanna see how both my parents fell in love with each other.. and if I could, probably even tell my mom, "Don't marry the guy. Go for someone else." But then again, she'd probably think I'm a lunatic and send me to the Mental Hospital. But it'd be really cool. It's like watching a real life movie. When my dad would wait for her when she finishes work.. I wanna listen to what exactly he did/said to get my mother's heart. Haha. Silly me.
Have been a more competitive kid.. I guess not. I was never competitive unless in the areas where I'm good at. When it comes to designs, I'm critical but academic-wise, if you beat me then fine. Whatever makes you happy. From my experience, the competitive kids never got that much friends in life, as they didn't take the time to smell the roses and by the time they reach to where I am at now, it's a bit too late for them.
Have learned more in the "class room of life" than in school.. Of course. Did you apply the algebra or the binomial theorem in real life? I'd call you crazy. But when you fell down and managed to get back up on your feet all on your own.. you learn so much more. You learn to be independent. You learn not to be careless and watch where you're going. Okay, I guess you get my point.
Have been a leader or a follower.. I suppose, both. I prefer being a follower though. It's tough being a leader 'cos you are the queen bee of the group. Sometimes, I think I follow way too much and I wished I lead more often.
Take back something you did, if so, what.. Watched a cat fall down from a few storeys up. I regretted not doing anything to save the poor cat. I wished I did.. at least something. I'm still haunted by it even till now due to a guilty conscience. So whenever I see a cat now, I make sure I treat it nicely but who am I kidding, that will never erase what happened in the past but it does make me feel better though.
Have been nicer to your parents.. Probably yes, when I was younger. But now, I'm treating them nicely.. right? I go shopping with my mom. Go for concerts with her. Movies. Haha.
Have changed your appearance.. Definitely. I hated being fat. I hated being in TAF club. (I never knew if you reverse TAF Club backwards... it means FAT Club) I would have put in more effort to lose all that extra pounds. Appearance wise.. It's always the hair. I just wished it wasn't that curly to begin with.
Have had more belongings.. Belongings in terms of bags? Oh yes. I had plenty of school bags. And books? Yeah, there's the library for that.
Have worked harder in school.. Not really. I'm happy with my grades in school. Getting good grades doesn't make you popular. Doing stupid things.. gets you those friends. I was always sleeping in class but thank god I had Aishah, who was seated beside me, and she copied notes for me. She'd ask me, "Are you going to sleep? Do you want me to copy the notes for you?" And I'd be like, "Omg yes. You are such a lifesaver." End of the day, I got better grades than her. Moral of the story: Just sleep in school.
Have made more friends.. Acquaintances.. yes. But these are the kind of things you can't change. Sure you can get more friends but you can't change their attitude towards you. I'd probably have done the same and remain close to those that deserved it.. but then look where it got me now. Zilch.

Memory... I remember when I was little, I always enjoyed snuggling up in between my parents. My parents would get fed up and they'd carry me to my room to sleep together with my maid. I'd end up feeling frustrated and walked back to my parents room, snuggling in between them once again. Then they'd carry me back. This went on for the whole night until my parents just gave up and let me sleep there. Now that I've grown up, I kinda knew why they wanted me out of their bed!
Time Left Alone At Home... My parents and sister were out to somewhere, can't exactly remember where but I was alone at home nd my only companion were my usual toys and action figures. I got bored of playing with them after a while so I decided to make a house for them using only cardboard and construction paper. (Don't judge me.) I used a penknife for the first time and everything was going smoothly until I accidentally cut myself. It's not your usual small little cut. This cut was huge and pierced deep inside my skin. Blood was flowing out of my fingers like a tap that can not be stopped. I ran to the toilet without realising that my blood was all over the floor. Next thing I knew, my mom came back home and started screaming just because she saw blood. That was the last time I ever saw my penknife. Haha.
Day at School... My first day in Ngee Ann will always be a classic story. I brought all of my orientation booklets.. including the one that came with a map. And yes, I got lost in Ngee Ann. I was supposed to go to LT 79 but it was not written in the map or anywhere! And I couldn't ask anyone. So I flipped my Ngee Ann map wide open in the eyes of everyone. It was embarrassing. I called Nadee in the end (cos she was enrolled there too!), panicking and asking her on directions to get to my first lecture. I was slightly late for lecture and then it was lunch. Everyone went on their separate ways and as for me.. I got shy to eat alone. Thank god (once again) Nadee called me asking if I wanna meet her for lunch. So yes, Nadee saved my life during my first day of school. I'll always be grateful. Haha.
Punished for doing something bad... My parents always punished me for every single thing I did wrong. The worst was when they used a clothing hanger to spank my butt until the clothing hanger broke. And we were running around the house and I was so scared, I ran to the toilet and locked myself in there. And then i took a pee. My mom kept saying I pee-d because I was scared of her. But I seriously needed to pee at that point of time!
Childhood crush... Her name was Nilam. In primary school we had this small little diary of ourselves that we pass around to each other so that people can write stuff about themselves in there. It was cool actually. Nilam was my classmate and I guess I thought she was pretty. I was shy and didn't dare to approach her.. not even a hello. And she was always with her inseparable little group of girlfriends. So one day, I did something bad. Together with another classmate of mine, I stole her diary just so I could read personal stuff about her. Little details about her favourite drink, movie got me excited. I'm such a stalker. I remember she was in a total frenzy when she found out that her diary went missing. She suspected that my friend took it so when we couldn't take it anymore.. we left her book in the library and told her we saw it there. She believed that she left her diary there. Things moved on from there and well.. the rest of the story? Well.. Not that interesting.
Experience with death... I've had this feeling once and I can still remember it vividly.. even till now. As always, I was jaywalking on the road outside my house without bothering to wait for the traffic light. With my earphones on, I just jaywalked like as if I own the road. And there comes a car coming at full speed towards me. I wanted to run but for some reason, my legs stayed glued to the ground. I froze with my eyes wide open. Thank god the car stopped in the nick of time just inches away from me. I apologized and from that day on, I always always make sure that I wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing the road... unless in certain cases when there's really no car in sight.
Great Accomplishment... When I first saw my O Level results, I was ecstatic! I stared hard at the results slip just because it was hard to believe those were even my results! My form teacher was like, "Wow! Amirul. You did it. These are very good results! You've improved by 5 grades in most of your subjects!" I was proud of myself. All those late nights burning the midnight oil were worth it. And I even passed my Pure Biology paper, which I didn't bother studying for JSYK. Haha.

Bought these 4 movies over at Nex last night, while I was out with Xin Mun just because they were dirt cheap (Buy 3 Get 1 Free; $6.95 ea at Laser Flair) and also partly because today was my off day, I thought of watching 'em all. Ended up sleeping throughout the afternoon. Haha! But Sex and the City 2 was absolutely hilarious!

No. This is not going to be a vulgar post or an angsty post of some sort. Just in case you were reading the title and thinking otherwise. Anyways, this song is pretty amazing and catchy..
... and sorta a bad influence. I swear I have never said 'Fuck You' this many times in my entire life within a time span of 4 minutes. I'm an angel, trust me.
The video should definitely deserve some award for making me laugh uncontrollably. I loved especially the part when they were showing Cee-Lo as a little kid and his mom slapping him every single time he says 'Fuck You'. Now ain't that some shit?
And if you hate Cee-Lo's version (which I presume a situation to be HIGHLY UNLIKELY to happen), here's another version by CJ Baran (who is definitely more pleasing to look at)
... Quite not as epic as Cee-Lo's version but still works nevertheless. He made the song fresh! And the video is still hilarious and fun to watch tho especially the bridge at the end where he goes whining that starts ard 2:40. I don't quite get the girl's stupidity in the video. Girl, ditch the Asian boy and get on with CJ.
And if you rather much have a preference (or I'd call it a fetish, in this case) for a female's voice.. here's Eliza Doolittle.
.. Having not heard of Eliza Doolittle at all, I initially thought it was gonna be some sort of a terrible video but minus the hideous outfit of hers, she's actually QUITE A GOOD SINGER.
This is actually quite a useless post. Well if you agree to that, then Fuck You.

Lying next to you
Wishing I could disappear
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losing sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin, oh yeah...
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
It's easier than telling the truth

It really took a lot of balls okay for all of us to do the various scenes! :D
P.s I've been watching the video over and over again for the past few hours. HELP! -crosses fingers- Hope we'll win!
