revisitng your childhood memories are often a heart-wrenching experience. for me, it happened this morning when i watched E.T for the 25th time. i remember watching the first time with my brothers and my parents on tv long ago when i was like 5 and i was crying then.. 25 times and 13 years later.. the show still makes me cry! it just brings back memories of my childhood. my brothers and i, we have a whole display cabinet of toys. figurines of star wars. x men. E.T. etc. i loved our E.T collection the most. we have the figurines, the big soft toy of E.T himself and books. hahaha.. It's just that E.T was the first big movie i watched and it became my all time favourite. i've never watched any movie that had the same impact on me. no movie have ever made me cry like i did for ET. i have no idea.

i lost the doll when we shift houses.. the whole ET thingy. maybe it got lost amidst all the hassles.. we forgot to take it. or maybe. it phoned home. and went back. in any case. i'll always remember the times spent playing with ET and talking to ET. (hahaha.. now u know why i'm a little bit crazy!) those were fun times!

the feeling of just laying back and watch as the remaining days fly past gets so intense day-by-day that it 's hard for you to fight succumbing to that situation. i hate this feeling. then again i love it. i dunno how i'm suppose to feel. it's as if some form of cosmic energy has taken over my whole being and i can't help but to feel elated about the break and at the same time heart-wrenchingly guilty. i'm suppose to use this time to study for the up coming commons. and yet my mind is filled with ways and means i can fill up the days with outings and movies to watch or just to sit down and chill out with my friends. until now, i have never touched my history 1 notes. it was good karma to have gone for malay commons on wednesday instead of capitulating to the desire of staying at home and study. i didn't have to study at all hahaha!

spent the first day of my break in town with my former josephian mates. it was a fun time, tho i must say the movie totally spoilt my whole perception of romantic comedy. "Just Married" was a movie that was a boring and real as a 3-dollar bill.. (if u get the joke). never in my entire life have i wqatched a movie so ickily uniteresting that i was begging to get out of the theatre. seriously, it's not funny! i mean.. i have to give it credit. it did have some moments when i thought the jokes were funny. but it's nothing eng tat or haireez couldn't come up with! it was hell on earth! if you thought "Dude, Where's My Car" was funny and thought to urself that it's an ashton kutcher movie again so it must be that funny. you're dead wrong! it was so painful to watch i fell asleep halfway through. the movie was bad. think of mariah carey in Glitter.. multiply that by 10. u'll find out what i mean. i'm so agitated that i allowed those dumb nutfucks to overpower my decision to watch "The Pianist"! argh! nonetheless, the day turned out alrite after the movie. moods were changed.. we just sat at coffee club express and chat the the night away. left town around a quarter pass nine. catching back on old times was fun.

*note to self: raisin scone with whip cream on the side and cafe latte tastes good at coffee club. and cheap too!*

my parents and second brother are going to KL for the weekend. they asked me to come along but i told my second brother to piss off. there's no way i'm going to spoil this break of mine with a 'family vacation' in KL. i dunno why.. i just dun like it! i wanna stay here.. amidst all the SARS thingamabob. besides i can't miss an episode of cooking master boy! hahaha.. yesh nigel i'm a big fan of the show too! u're not the only one that find great joy in watching that show! hahaha... uall shud really give it a shot! it's a cool show.

dong wrote something in my comments page that made me wonder. he said that i shudn't write blog if i just wanted to bitch or write an open letter to my friends. then weidong.. what is the use of a personal online journal? i shudder to use the word diary.. haha.. it's all about expressing how u feel. and rant about it. what's the use of having a journal if u can't write your inner most feelings. there's no point in being superficial about it. i'm not like you who indeed can write your personal feelings in a nice indirect touch of poetry and flare of language to it. i just get down to the chase. spending a year as cliques shud give you the big bright neon lights billboards indicating that i like to be direct and i can't stand someone who beats about the bush! not happy about it tell it. no point bitching. in which case i didn't. if u thot that was bitching. u have yet to see the best! haha. hmmm.. that's sounds weird. what the hey! in any case.. all is settled now. so forget about it!

*note to everyone out there : blogs = sweet narcissism

"You can reach me by sail boat,
climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope,
into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt,
cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can"

I'll Be - Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you said

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

ok i'm going to sound very shallow.. and dense.. and full fletch himbo.. hmmm.. seems like haireez is usurping me! anyway.. the news was broken to me by my mom.. who woke me up from my nap.. i was reallie happy tho'.. but it's kinda sad isn't it.. i mean he died! and here we are enjoying.. but what the hey! life goes on! hmmm... i mean.. think about it.. he died for a good cause.. well in a way at least. i mean. he died so that we can enjoy.. gosh he's like a matyr.. no better.. he's like christ.. ok.. that's going so way off! but it's true.. he's a good guy!

anyway.. they're gonna take away part of our june hols for this shit.. but who cares? till then.. taken from the words of the legendary Prince.. "we're gonna party like it's 1999!"

purple and baby puff.. it's oklah.. i was just ranting that day.. i dunno.. i didn't hear anything.. i mean u guys were just in your own conversation.. i was never really in whenever the three of u talks.. not complaining lah.. just saying only.. but eveything's fine lah.. i guess it was the stress or just the fact that i'm a neurotic .. well u know the word that comes after.. hahaha.. wateva! ok.. sounds like jasmine.. hmmm..

well people.. there's no school till 6th april..so i'll see all of you everyday of the goddamn week.. oh and rose.. if u're reading this.. and in case gwen doesn't update me... tell me abt the latest club gathering and stuff.. gathering? what the hell did i just say?? hahaha... oh well.. just sms me and update ya? cool..

i hate it when the three of you get together. i'm not trying to be petty or difficult. but when the three of your are together it's like as if i dun exist! you just wander off doing your own things and just forget that i am there! i've got feelings you know. you dun just turn and say "bye rohai" at the instant when you wanna go and just go off! this is not the first time. at least today i had company. the first time, you all just left without even telling me where why and how come. just turn to me. again saying "bye rohai" and left! i was alone at that time! and i was like... rite.. hmmm.. ok den! what the hell! i know that there's some special charmed-sisters-triange that you three share. but you dun just do that to people. especially close friends!

on the bright side.. today was ok. econs was screwed up! hahaha.. studied for it. but i guess not hard enuff. i just can't remember what i studied or read! essay was ok.. but DRQ qas pathetic. simple questions and i blanked out! argh!!! i hate myself
