Hallo 2006.

The air of Year 2006(66) indeed smells better! Now, the year of The Beast has spawned. Beware... beware... beware... beware... beware... [Now, stop that beware thing!]I spent my last few minutes of the now-gone 2005 watching Rammstein's Live Aus Berlin DVD. Good way to end the year and to start the new one. Headbanging is definitely better than stoning at the Channel 5's CountDung show.Anyways, it's 16 days' time to my 17th Birthday. Hint, my reader-fiends. Heed that hint well. I have decided to omit that 'My 2006 Resolutions' fuck, because from my past experiences, it won't work out. So fuck it. One year has past. Time flies, indeed. I wasted one entire year mugging for my Os. And, I enjoyed 2005 because I witnessed Slipknot Live. \m/6th June 2006, quick come. Hails to all the worthy and...

Bit of fast-food culture for you

So I'm at WR's apartment and they've received a bunch of those flyer things from the nearby pizza places and burger places and Chinese places, as do you. I had a pretty good time flipping through and wanted to share some of the menu items with you so that you know what I'm up against in this crazy world.Ahem.First we have the burger places, which usually double as kebab shops or as fish & chip shops or pizza shops or maybe friend chicken places or perhaps a bit of all these things.Beef or Lamb Burger(Char grilled burger with lettuce, tomato, onion & corn relish)Pepper and Mayo Burger(With mayo & lots of freshly ground black pepper)Garlic and Mayo Burger(you get the idea)Lamb Doner Kebab(Specially minced lamb with herbs and spices)Kofte Kebab(Specially minced lamb with parsley,...

Some random bullshit i have came up with.

Now it's less than 2 days to the spanking new year 2006, and I have been living in total delirium. They once said that what you are doing on the last few minutes of the previous year will be what you will be doing in your next year. I will be delirious for the whole of 2006. Greato. Anyways, the animal for the year 2006 is Dog. Hmm Dog - God? God in reverse or opposite? Hehe. I think you got the idea now. Hails to 2006 is advance! Plus, have you, my dearest reader-fiends, realised the diabolical significance of 6th June 2006 (06/06/06)? I assure you, the world will not be the same again. *smirks in the fashion of a Malfoy* To add more madness to this post of already maddened stuff, read this: As a young fallen angel, Satan used to revel in the joys of observing mortals and fantasizing ammagedon....

So you want to be a Death Eater?

Haha! I found it at MuggleNet.com. Interesting information for all aspiring Death Eater wannabes. :P Greetings, new follower:If you are reading this letter then you have doubtless been accepted into the select band of professional wizards known as the Death Eaters. If by some unprecedented chance you are reading this and you have not been accepted into the Death Eaters then I suggest you put down this letter and leave now, or the consequences for you will be as terrible as my lifelong study into the Dark Arts can make them.Please find enclosed a short introductory guide to Death Eating, which you must memorise and then eat, to prevent security leaks. (Due to an unfortunate fatality last week, it is now permitted to cut the guide into small pieces before swallowing).The next meeting is scheduled...

Wherein I wax metaphorical

So there are these cherry trees on the way to campus, just near my house. And they seem to have become confused, because around the beginning of December they started blossoming. Now, perhaps this is wrong and an abomination against nature and its laws, but I don't care. When I was sick and dying during my Time of Illness and final projects and stress and Dickens Orphan Christmases as I trudged back and forth from campus, those darn blossoms were almost the only thing that could make me smile and feel okay about life.If you want to use The Story of the Cherry Trees as an object lesson during a talk or whatever, you can feel free. Just be sure...

Best of 2005.

Well, well. Since I am so bored, I shall do this. Plus, the year AD 2005 is coming to its inevitable demise in less than 4 days. I would like to take this chance to list down my favourite things of 2005. So sit back and stare at the next few lines of words and then comment, 'Oh Ok. Why are you telling me this?'.Best moment of 2005 -- Slipknot Gig at Fort Canning Park on 16th August, 8.24 pm to 10.05 pm. (Yes, I remembered the exact duration of my favourite 2005 moment. That's how much I am an maggot.)Best Band of 2005 -- Got to be Cradle of Filth. (As someone mentioned, I'm a Cradle of Filth Whore. Dani, you rock my world!)Best Album of 2005 -- It's a tie between Rosenrot of Rammstein and Stormblast of Dimmu Borgir. (perhaps it's because I haven't got Opeth's Ghost Reveries.)Best DVD of 2005...

You love me! You really love me!

I just want everyone to know how much I have appreciated your Christmas cards and emails. You've kept me from feeling homesick! I created a shrine (complete with candles) with all the Christmas cards you've sent. So, you know, don't ever think, "Oh, I don't want to send Nem anything. She won't even appreciate it." Because I totally will! I don't even throw them away once Christmas is over, but keep them in a box because I just can't bear to throw anything away.But I also appreciate good vibes/prayers/well wishes, just in case you're like me and had to cut down your Christmas card list this year.Also, I think my little tree is the most beautiful...

Good times never felt so good

So, this is what "well" feels like, then? It's taken so long to return to the Land of the Living that I'd almost forgotten what an absolutely fabulous place that land can be.So here are the things that have me feeling great:1. I can pretty much smell again. (Sad part--I can now smell myself and my bedroom, aaaaannnnd . . . it's not pretty, folks. )2. I can taste my food! Yipee! Tasting food is pretty much favorite thing and now I can do it again, just in time for Christmas and all the gastronomic delights that await me! (Yes, Dad, I do realize that I'm in England. But this is a glass-full kind of a post.)3. I can breathe! Breathing is my favorite, too!4. I'm not feeding Lady J's cat anymore! Although I'm so blissed out now that I don't even mind that string of meows she does when she's calling...

Les 120 journées de Sodome ou l'école du libertinage

Phew. I was reading about Marquis De Sade on Wikipedia, then stumbled into his greatest piece of writing, 120 Days of Sodom or Les 120 journées de Sodome ou l'école du libertinage. Before I proceed to say anything at all futhur, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/120_days_of_Sodom. I assume you have read what's on that above given link. My reaction after reading it is 'Holy Molly! I gotta read this!', feeling totally hyped up. Merle, we must get this book no matter what happens. Screw the censorboard. Even, the term Sadism comes from his writer, Marquis De Sade. Hail to him! I WANT TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS BO...

Friedrich Nietzsche

Was spending my day reading up om the works of Friedrich Nietzsche. I must say that I so agree with his teachings and all. Brilliant German philosopher. Here's one of his quotes that left me in awe: What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself. What is Bad? Everything that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance has been overcome. Not contentedness but more power; not peace but war; not virtue but fitness. The weak and the failures shall perish like fish: first principle is our love of man. And they shall even be given every possible assistance. What is more Harmful than any vice? Active pity for all the failures and all the weak: Christianity. —Nietzsche, The Antichrist. "Modern democracy...

Wherein I begin the path to recovery

So, lest there be a few people in the backwoods of Nepal who haven't heard yet, I'm sick.Only now I'm going to be getting better, on account of my aforementioned BFF, even Dr. N of the Student Health Clinic.I went to see him on Monday at the urging of my family, my friends, and my own wish to find out if I have a chance at life or if I should start asking sweet sweet death to just get it over with and take me.I waited for exactly 2 seconds in the waiting area, reading the many posters about meningitis and safe sex that they have up on the walls, and a beautifully Asian-accented male voice called my name. And thus it began. He invited me to sit down and tell him about my symptoms and everything, which I was happy to do.Dr N: "So does your face hurt right now?"Me: "Yeah, kinda, but I'm on,...

Another boring day...

Greetings, my fiend. Today is yet another boring day. Went to Kovan to apply for the Japanese Tidbits Store, those people imitated me by saying 'You gotta stand 12 hour straight, the last 2 weeks must work straight, no break you know?!'. Well, I just wait for their call. Then, I bought coffee for my mom at her shop. Then, I went to Street magic, gosh, it's god damned boring there also. Then, I went to the Dental Clinic as my mom said they needed Dental Assistant, nah, they do not want students. Okay, Fine. Here comes the highlight of the day. Sit tight and devour my next paragraph of words. :PAs I was walking out of the dental clinic, I saw a group of teenagers walking towards me. Soon, my Christ-o-radar sent alarms to me. Anyways, I entertained those young christians. A bespectacled girl...

This is my saviour!

Yeah! I have finally found a good online translator. So no more hassle and using broken german! Fellow german (or norwegian) obsessed fiends, feel absolutely free to go here: http://ets.freetranslation.com/. Enlightenment is the thing that will surface on your mind when you first clicked the Translation button. I believe with this wonderful tool, I'll be able to learn german and norwegian at a faster rate than to figure it out myself listening to Rammstein and other nordic black metal band. Especially for the case of norwegian, which I am totally retarded at. This has came to great use. Now I can say : Hei. Min navn er Ng Ling Xuan. Hvordan gjør De gjør? Jeg er god.

Rammstein Fever hits me.

Recently, I have been hopelessly obsessed over Rammstein together with my Voldemort. Swooning in Rammstein is my new-found love. Amongst all, i have been most obsessed over their latest hit, Rosenrot. I can't resist the tempting temptation but to post the lyrics up here and look at it in awe even though my german is as bad as a week-old dinner leftovers. ________Sah ein Mädchen ein Röslein stehenBlühte dort in lichten HöhenSprach sie ihren Liebsten anob er es ihr steigen kannSie will es und so ist es feinSo war es und so wird es immer seinSie will es und so ist es BrauchWas sie will bekommt sie auchTiefe Brunnen muss man grabenwenn man klares Wasser willRosenrot oh RosenrotTiefe Wasser sind nicht stillDer Jüngling steigt den Berg mit QualDie Aussicht ist ihm sehr egalHat das Röslein nur im...

Dune Messiah

Finished reading Dune Messiah yesterday night. The ending blew me off! Dune never fails to amaze and intrigue me. So Paul Atreides or Muad Dib sort of died, or rather was passed to his son. Now, Paul is his son, and his son is Paul. Wow. Brilliant novel. The son of Paul shall be called Leto for his father's honour and the twin sister, Ghanima.Towards the end of the novel, I was intrigued by a line. Here's it: We say of Muad Dib that he has gone on a journey into that land where we walk without footprints. -- Preamble to the Qizarate Creed. Muad Dib, now is omnipotent, ever-powerful. Sheesh, Frank Herbet rocks! Speaking of which, I need to go burrow the next novel in line to continue this wonderful story, Children of Dune. I heart Dune! And, Paul Atreides as we...

I need more metal t-shirts!

Ruhe is correct. I need more metal t-shirts. But first, I need money. Bah, anyways, here's my wish list for my ever-pathetic wardrobe. 1) Immortal 'Pure Holocaust' or 'Damned In Black' Shirt.2) Dark Funeral 'Unholy Horde' (saw it at Bugis) or 'Diablous Interium' Shirt.3) Emperor 'In The Nightside Eclipse' or 'I Am The Black Wizard' Shirt.4) Cradle of Filth 'Filth Fest' or 'Cruelty And The Beast' Shirt.5) Hecate Enthroned 'Misma' (or whatever you call it, forgot) Shirt.That would add some more black-ness in my wardrobe. Hehe. I will get them at Bugis Street, 3 for $20 only! How good is that?! Anyway, I still haven't got a job yet. Al Dente hasn't called me yet, it's been almost one whole week, I guess I can forget about Al Dente. Sigh, I officially declare lookng for jobs sucks. I seriously...

My recent whereabouts in brevity.

Hey, my fiends. Greetings to you once again. So, what have I been doing these few days? Hmm, I myself have no idea at all. First of all, let's do things in a chronological manner. Yesterday (16th Friday)Met Kamil (aka dok from SMC) at Bugis. Daren, Justin and Siyang came as well. So just went around Bugis here and there, at Betty Ho's place, then to Shaws (the same old freaking place), then to Bugis Street. So we just flourished and walked and flourished and walked somemore. That's about it. Had a pleasurable time meeting a fellow flourisher and metalhead from Malaysia! Stay sic, kamil! Then, to the dreadful one. 4 Integral BBQ turned out rather awesomely boring. I was so outcasted there. Firstly, there's no avid card flourisher like me. Then, there's no metalheads as well. So BOREDOM is...

That's right, it's come to this. I never wanted it to happen, but right now we are not friends. I will tell you why, but first I would like to share a little timetable.

So remember how I was better?

Yeah. Scratch that. Because not only am I not better, I am now probably certifiably dying and there's nothing that anyone can do about it. The one bright side was that WR did come over the other night and bring me bread and a roasted chicken so that I wouldn't starve to death. Because carving is for sissies who aren't sick and/or hungry, we ate the bird at my coffee table. I used a fork and my bare hands. For a second I feared WR might not think I was being ladylike, since he was using a knife and fork. But then he pointed out that he was eating straight off the carcass with a knife and fork, whereas I was using a plate, so we were probably even. Whew.Anyway, yes. I am dying. My sense of humor is dying with me--it's now on its last stubby hind leg. I spent all of yesterday (when I wasn't...

So I'm still sick, even though I feel a tiny bit better. Only my cold has progressed to my nose, which is never a good thing. And now I sound like a chain-smoking transexual who sings bass.I did, though, turn in the two pieces of work that were due today. Rejoice with me! And now I'm working on a 2,000 word essay about the history of women in librarianship (Alternate title: "How The Man is keeping us down!"). This would have been a piece of cake back when I was an undergrad and in the habit of churning out essays, but now I am all rusty an' junk.Then sweet WR is coming over to take care of me and look over the website I have to finish by Friday, becase he is lovely.

I've got some bad news and some good news

The Bad NewsThe bad news is that I am sick. You might think it is just a common cold, but you would be wrong. I look like a lukewarm pile of death, I SOUND like a chain-smoking transexual, and when I cough it feels as though tiny Gremlin armies are scampering around in my throat with pick-axes.I want to die.What makes this really bad is that this is the final week before the Christmas vacation, and so I have 2 projects due tomorrow and another 2 due on Friday. Only I sort of don't even want to get out of bed, much less haul my sick self up the hill to the computer lab where my work is saved. So there you have it. Now I will for sure flunk out of school.

Bored out of my sane wits.

Recently enough, I have been immersing myself in a sinful lifestyle of reading slash fan fiction all day long, eating, then more reading, then eating again, then talking nonsense online.

Yay for Christmas presents!

I'm sorry this will be so short. As previously mentioned, I'm carrying on this intense day-in-day-out relationship with my departments's computer lab this week (and next).

My mom's Christmas package arrived this morning! It came just as I was rushing out the door, and I was tempted to just chuck class and stay home opening things, but remembered that I am a Mature Adult and must make Mature Adult Decisions.

So I'm going to have WR open it for me so that I don't see...

Will you SHUT your stupid mouth face dumb piece of stupid UP!!!!

Seriously, there needs to be a special weapons permit that allows me to carry a taser and just zap the living crubbish out of people who won't shut their fool heads up in the computer lab.Right now my ire and wrath and anger and irritation are directed at one group of lab-talkers in particular. For a second I was worried that maybe I had become a racist, on account of the group I was mad at is from a different ethnicity than my own. Only I don't think I was mad at them for being of a different ethnicity--I was mad at them for being loud potty-mouthed freaks who wouldn't shut the heck up while I was trying to work.For those of you who don't know (so pretty much all of you) this is the beginning of the insane cruch time, which will end on December 16th when my last project before Christmas...

Dune is brilliant!

Just read this quote from the book Dune, and you will understand why it had my entranced over the past 2 years. The enitre work of Frank Herbet is so complex and human-like you can't believe it. Alright, cut the crap and let me get to the point.I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.--Litany Against FearDuneGet what I mean now? It's like a religion or philosophy to itself. Dune never fails to amaze me with its complexcity and epic-ness, if there's such a word. So far, I have completed the Preludes Trilogy and currently reading Dune...

Deck the halls with boughs of sobbing

So I bought a tree today.Go me.I got it at Woolworths, and it's 90 inches high and cost 4 quid. I carried it the 1.6 miles to my house in a huge shopping bag. I set it up on my nightstand in front of my bedroom window, so the neighbors will see that I have the Spirit of Christmas. I've put a cream-colored fleece throw from IKEA under it, and I have a box of 100 clear lights (4 quid, because they like to shaft you on lights over here) to put on. I also bought some of that pretty silver star twisty stuff at IKEA, and maybe I'll make some paper snowflakes for decoration.I think it will be quite presentable.Only I sort of want to crawl into bed and start bawling and maybe never come out until Christmas is over and done with.I wish I could blame this on hormones like Savvymom could, but my good...

Personally, I really enjoy watching it, unlike Disasterpieces where Corey will always have the same lines to say and it can get abit boring and draggy. Whereas, Dani is a much more interesting and unpredictable subject. The setlist for this DVD is a good mix of songs, with new and really old and classical songs like A Gothic Romance/ 13 Autumns and a Widow/ The Black Godness Rises and also never before played live songs like Mannequin/ Promise of Fever.

Choosy moms choose Jif. And the British Museum.

Something to add to your food storage list

So today I was in the Relief Society class, minding my own business. For the non-LDS friends out there, that's one class in our block of Sunday meetings that is specifically for the ladies.
