mother: i'm smart, right?
me: mhm.
mother: smarter than all the aunties?
me: mhm.
mother: of course your mother is smart, heheheh.
father: if you're so smart why can't you use the coffee machine?
mother: i can't be too smart in everything, that'd be such a headache.
father: sure.
mother: if i were smart at everything, god (老天爷) would send me to him earlier to help him out.
father: at using the coffee machine?
me: if god can't use a coffee machine we're all be in big trouble.

industrial revolution-> industrialization! -> urbanization of workers -> springing cities
+
spread and emphasis of education
= importance and availability of education and schools

industrial revolution -> development of proletariat -> uprisings! -> french revolution -> allowed the rise of napoleon -> spread of the french revolution through the military -> revolutionary ideas and spread of nationalism
+
general european monarch-supporting ass-hattery and paranoia
= fear of nationalism-> massive rise of the empires-> colonization-> HI SINGAPORE-> spread of western values

etc etc etc THEREFORE I BLAME THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION FOR THE 5 EXAMS I HAVE TO TAKE IN 3 DAYS.

 in this mv (titled my tears are dropping....) by k.will, yuri is very pretty. however, i find myself slightly more attracted to the room. O.o

 -flails and fails at school-

also: suju mv for blue tomorrow~ which is fantastically written and oh my darling hankyung crying and wry-smiling a million times better than kibum *_____*

was also watching this again and tmd kwon yuri why the hell are you so fucking sexy?!

time to go flail at japanese homework and then flail myself to sleep

 the more i read, the more i am convinced that at some fundamental level, military men are just disgusting animals.

 critters are attracted to me today, i stepped out of the car and there was what must have been a 2 foot long garden snake wriggling happily beside my feet. though granted it was quite cute... and then i stepped into the bathroom and there was a giant cockroach on the wall twitching its feelers at me. the snake, i don't mind, but seriously, a giant roach? where did that come from? D:

i know this sounds really stupid but... emily d and zooey d are sisters?! o.O zooey d. is guest starring on bones this is quite Exciting.

no more tb tutorial, i am very sad because i truly, really, honestly love my tb class to bits, saitou sensei is hilarious and all my classmates are so so awesome. ;___;

exams are coming, my debate is coming, my j. studies project is due and we haven't started. i haven't studied much at all. -pressure and terror-

also people please start booking me for december through 10th jan lyke NAO D: i have to go attend some emcee course that requires a contract and No Backing Out, and need to know when i am unavailable soon. 

Best Friend #1 and Best Friend #2, where are you? i miss you a lot a lot a lot...

i was watching this a bit too late at night, there are like a million versions (ok, four) of this commercial for.... what sounds to me like 'friend ramyun'. o.O but anyway it's too too cute *_____* they're all so cute and listless, and taeyeon's 'mum mum mum' face is so fantastic i want to icon it ah she's so cute. also, the ramyun looks so tasty the egg yolk is perfect and shiny and round and the spring onions and everything are arranged so nicely and as the ramyun bubbles away the ingredients sort of bounce up and down a bit *__________* -hungry- i can't decide if taeyeon is cuter or the ramyun is cuter maaaah i want lunch.

wtf the dance for this commercial hahahaha

oh my god i just found out that there is a second version of the mv?! i think mel is getting sick of me saying this but WHY, WHY IS YURI SO DEVASTATINGLY SEXY?!!!

have some taeyeon being massively adorable to balance things out <3

 yesterday we went to see amanda fucking palmer. and all i have to say is that amanda fucking palmer is fucking amazing, as a musician, as a human being, as amanda fucking palmer. 

i'm still kind of dazed by it all, a bit too much to believe that i did see her, that i did i did i did and that i didn't have to google her to do it, she came up, she played, she nearly destroyed her keyboard, she wore an old and vaguely frayed black sabbath t shirt which she took off, she drank fruity drinks and giggled.

and i was right there.

oh my god. i was right there...

 does anyone, at the last minute, want to go for amanda palmer tomorrow?

 holy fuck

!@$)(@#)@(#)( very easy to see why SM makes so many money

snsd: !@#)!($!@)#(!@#)( they're all so pretty and retro and PRETTY oh my god tiffany and sunny and yuri, YURI, so so so pretty here. sunny's lips are so fantastic her side profile is amazing. and yuri, oh my god yuri, *______________* the whole thing is fantastic though i can't get a good look at anyone, taeyeon appears for like 5 seconds, and yoona looks a bit dazed sometimes. but oh my god. so so pretty the more i look at it the more i realize that sunny is honest to god gorgeous, and when she's not being supremely moe, actually very very good at this seductive thing. 

f(x): luna is pretty cute here, she always has nice hair :D and shuli is too. not so much liking amber's outfit in general, what is up with the clips?! the dance is pretty awesome, i liked the use of the chairs :DDD and all the suggestive shots ohohoho pretty awesome. the one thing i really really didn't like was.... at around 2.43 there's this shot of victoria's face and she looks.... deranged. it's very creepy. very. immensely.  the fact that you can't see her eyebrows doesn't help. but it's ok, luna's hip-swivelling erases all of that badness *_______*

if i didn't know how terrible lg phones are i'd totally get one, omg. -fangirl-

i've spent the whole afternoon reading about how the japanese military was inhumane and apparently, sexually insatiable. fantastic.

people, bring 38 dolla to pay eunice tomorrow for tickets. kk? k. stereolab, say, 7.30?  

yesterday was my cousin's wedding \o/ which was a lot of fun with the other cousins, as usual. also, pretty ok food and a lot of running away from chan poh meng D: although i did get to talk to ms chia and mr teo *_________________________* who were plenty surprised to see me. wine was terrible though. 

ocean's 13 was on tv hahahaha oh man. \o/ FO COME HOME SOON SO WE CAN HAVE MASSIVE OCEAN'S MARATHON PLEASE. 

 just now, when i was complaining to my mother about how FASS is on a stupid hill hence stairs hence walking hence sweating because the weather is crazy, i said, '我也不知到为什么他们好建不建，一定要在这里建，把整个ビル放在一个山坡上' 

oh my god, my chinese is being eaten by japanese.

i haven't been sleeping a whole bunch this past 2 weeks or so, not because i've been staying up late

(although i profess i haven't been online much because, omg, batman: arkham asylum *___* PLAY IT IT IS HEAVEN IN A BATSUIT)

but because the girl next door, and by next door i mean on the other side of my fucking bedroom wall, which my bed HAPPENS to lean against, keeps me up all night

crying. and screaming and howling.

i swear, these two nights i've been having semi-nightmares (including the one where i'm trapped in a graveyard and mrs lim the zombie shuffles towards me menacingly in her bright blue cheongsam and eyeshadow), maybe because of this, maybe not. 

as far as i know, she's arguing with/at her rich boyfriend. personally, i don't really care. i just want her to stop screaming so i can sleep. i mean, she woke me up at 6 today. 6 bloody am, after keeping me up until 2.

but somehow, i'm vaguely afraid to start banging on the wall, in case she starts screaming at me through it *________* 

she's also apparently, a to-be-doctor. man, all these med students...
