I should fumigate my house before ants raze my kitchen.
Argh.

Plants
I may as well be a plant.
I absorb the situation around me, but the deduction only comes hours later, when I'm lying in bed, about to fall asleep, then it hits me -- what was going on this afternoon.
What's wrong with me?

Many Thanks
Many thanks to all my best friends around me. You know who you are. You guys rock my world and you know I can't make it without you. :D
Scream
No, this isn't about the famous picture with that ugly woman who sends shivers down my spine everytime I see her.
This is what I had written when I was drowning in self-pity.
--
The worst kind of pain you can experience is not of those that you yourself go through. The real pain is when you watch someone you love fall into despair. There is only so much you can do. She falls down into that bottomless pit before I could get a firm hold of her hand. I can only stand at the edge of the pit, cringing at her tortured scream as she continues falling... Time cease to exist and it doesn't end. You can do nothing about it.
Yet someone else stands beside me, sniggering at the fate of the fallen woman. She thinks it's a joke. Is it? She doesn't know. She doesn't know that the hysterical scream will never end and her guilt will never dissipate. She doesn't know what she has caused, but the ball had started rolling. It would be over before she knew it started.
I can only stand and watch. Two pathways form themselves from my eyes to my jaw. Then, they stop abruptly. As I lean over the edge, my tears drip straight into the pit to pacify the resounding shriek.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you."
"I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to save you."
"I'm sorry that I didn't have the courage to jump down this goddamn pit to join you."
"I'm sorry I'm so selfish."
But, please survive. Because until the deafening scream stops, my eyes will never stop bleeding for you.
It's painful to suffer, but it's excruciating to watch someone you love fall from grace.
--
Incoherent, I know. But who the heck thinks properly when you're in an emotional maelstrom?

Third Ten Words
The naive child does not really know the murky waters of the real world.
Living in affluence is a priviledge, not what you should have.
In retrospect, I think that I was happier in my childhood days.
The restaurant specially prepared a sumptious meal for the gourmet, hoping to get a good review to attract more customers.
You can simulate and lie to others all you want, but you'll be the one living the lie in the end.
The magnanimous donater gave enough money to renovate the entire orphanage.
This was supposed to be clandestine, kept under wraps, not for everyone to know!
Nothing can be said to move the apathetic citizens who have lost interest a long time ago.
She tried to placate me by buying me chocolates.
She vacillated before accepting the proposal.

Second Ten Words
When revolutionary came about, technology far supersedes man-made tools.
He had to perform an autopsy on a cadaver sent in by an annoymous person.
He was an indefatigable sales person, whose loquacity and glib annoyed many around him.
I am an atheist, because I have a hard believing in someone I can't see.
She was born in a wealthy family, who gave her everything she wanted, making an incorrigible, spoiled little girl.
Unless you show me ocular proof, I will not believe you.
If you vote for a demagogue, you will suffer its consequences as he conforms to everything that is popular, but not necessarily right.

We are having a hard time. But we often forget that the teachers are, too. Teachers are the communication portal, the middlemen, between the school's authorative figures and the students. They know we are unhappy, and they are willing to face our wrath. So why are we, students, giving them a hard time?
Deep down, we know the teachers cannot control what the school does. What the ministry does. So why are we so keen on picking a battle with the wrong enemy? The teachers are not our adversary, as many have proven before, so why are we going against them?
In our anger, we forgot ourselves. I want to thank my Chinese teacher and my English teacher for taking time off their lessons to patiently explain the whole situation to us. And I believe we got our message across. They know that it was their tone that got the ball rolling, and the teachers are having a difficult time explaining when the students are being way too stubborn to talk to.
However, despite the various explanations, the teachers still do not get it. They try to explain, try to mollify our anger, and try to talk sense but it only exacerbates us. Mrs G feels disappointed in us, in our relentlessness, and she thinks that we are just trying to pick a blind fight. But it's not like that. This situation isn't black and white, but she failed to see that.
But I quote, "I can wake a man who is really sleeping, but I can't wake a man who is pretending to sleep."
So true.
But we aren't pretending to sleep, Mrs G. We are trying to wake you up. Not you, literally, I meant the school. You have to wake up and see us. We are dealing out our cards right under your nose but you still refuse to see it.
We only want a 'sorry'.
And that is what the teachers failed to say when they used every ounce of energy they had to speak to us. Indeed, we heard the underlying apology under your tone, but you still cover it all with glamorous explanations and exemplums that was really uncalled for.
I believe teachers do see what we are trying to get at. But you won't give it to us. As students, it is nearly impossible for us to ask for an apology from adults. It is morally incorrect. We should never expect a 'sorry'. But what you don't know is that this one word can pacify all of us and disperse this situation once and for all.
Both of us are unwilling to relent.
Who's going to be the magnanimous one to back down?

Gone Are The Days
Tighten the school rules, fine.
Tighten your hold on our reins, fine.
Take away our priviledges, fine.
Make me pay for a school calender that costs ten bucks, not fine.
Is there a need to rip us of our priviledges and control us like the robots we were supposed to be? I agree the school's students have been getting more and more out of hand lately, and it was high time you guys stepped up and did something about it. Nothing better than a tight slap in the face. It's what you're doing, but at the same time, you deprive us of the reason we came to school in the first place. Have you long lost your goal somewhere along the way?
If you did, please, I urge you to find it back and place it on top of your priority list. You are breaking all of us apart, scaring us shitless and making us fear the very entrance of the school. You are separating us, to break down our influence, our power, our bonds. You know that we cannot stand alone, so you go for our only weakness. Together we are strong, but a part without a part is apart. This is what I've learnt from OBS. You are sending us mixed signals. You want us to be supportive of each other, yet we cannot choose oppose authority? Everything you are doing for us is for our own good? Think again.
Ever heard of daylight robbery? This is daylight fear.
You have our bests interests at heart, but sometimes, your selfishness shines through like a bright light in a dark tunnel. You know we know what you are doing, yet you shower us with blessings and lies. We don't buy this shit, thank you very much.
Let me get back to the finance issue. Yes, you are "upgrading" the school's facilities to build in state-of-the-art equipments for the students to enjoy. But the original exercise gym, in my opinion, was perfectly fine. Eunice pointed out this very good fact the other day. We are fine with it. One more thing, it is rumored that if the sports students want us out of there, we have no choice but to comply. Why, o' mighty one, are we paying for it? Not to mention the fact that we are Secondary Fours, in the final year of our Secondary Life, and you are here making every single freaking one of us pay 10 freaking bucks for something that doesn't benefit us in anyway?
Sorry to be practical, but hey, that's how you survive in this world. You can't live your everyday life by just praying to God. He doesn't send money fluttering down from the skies. My parents have to work their asses off to provide me with what I have today. Why are you giving them more pressure in investing in your own interests? This is what upsets me. You renovated the Staff Room (like it wasn't good enough compare to the rest of the school) and even the General Office! Have you seen the Art Rooms? Have you even tried to work there?
I am so disappointed. To add "the icing on the cake", you've been spending all the money in the right places at the wrong time. What you are doing is morally wrong. I'm so disappointed in these supposed adults and decision-makers that I have nothing more to say. Until the next post, then.
I'm not handing the ten bucks over. If this continues I'm gonna go on mutiny.
Tighten your hold on our reins, fine.
Take away our priviledges, fine.
Make me pay for a school calender that costs ten bucks, not fine.
In fact, I want to tell you: Get out of my face.
I don't really care if you want to "shape up" the school's image and resurrect it once more on the glorified list of the government's. That's your job, and no way am I gonna hate you for it. Make us look like nerds and call us out on stage to bring shame that flush right down to the very tips of our toes for our unkempt hair, but finance is another issue altogether. I will get back to that later.
People are complaining, rebuking, berating and vituperating all over their emo-blogs these days without restraint, are you gonna catch all of us and whip us in front of hundreds pairs of eyes? Or are you going to look past the anger, confusion and upset emotions and understand what we are really trying to say? This country does not allow outright protests and riots, so we computerize it instead. Are you going to be like the government and round all of us up like they did during the Japanese Occupation and eliminate us? I'm talking harsh here, but it's time someone heard and understood.

来不及
今天早上起床脑袋一冲动脸越涨红
是不是昨天晚上做了什么害羞的梦
或许是粉红色荷尔蒙在血液中流动
你呼吸 我激动
轻飘飘雨提醒着 我们身在不同天空
于是好的伤痛是否能说不碰就不碰
我想犹豫不决比飞蛾扑火还更堕落
重不重 痛不痛 理智为爱失踪
来不及 每个脚步已踩着恋爱的节奏
来不及 地球转动不会为谁等候
来不及 回头检查旧的伤口
如果找借口 想太多
没结果 哭也没用
今天早上起床你是否觉得全身酸痛
是不是我爱上你让你觉得全身紧绷
或许是你太调皮到我梦中随便窜动
你跳进我时空
轻飘飘雨果然不出所料提醒动了我
于是好的伤痛压抑要有梦就不会痛
我想犹豫不决永远不会是我的作风
疯不疯 痛不痛
就算我犯了错
来不及 脑海早就烙印了你完美轮廓
来不及 赶快捕捉为你放的烟火
来不及 已把多爱你的冲动变成了享受
我想要解脱 要自由 要冲动

She has always been the most mysterious character. She's not bubbly and active like Ella, nor is she sweet like Selina, plus, she's quiet. I guess that's what most writers are. Quiet and conservative. What most writers are not is beautiful. Hebe's a real beauty, a true, honest beauty that cannot be captured. You won't be able to see it at first glance, but once you've gotten a taste of it, you won't be able to restrain yourself from getting more. And the desire just keeps building...

The Bitter-Sweet Taste of Success
"Deep down, we don't like the highly paid women; when women make money, it's seen as disruptive." -- Huang Hung, Newsweek.
Times changed, caveman envolved to man of today, technology infiltrated our lives like never before. Why is it that we still can't change our initial beliefs? Humans are smart, interactive mammals, so why is it men refuse to acknowledge the fact that women can and will be stronger than them?
Men are intimidated by successful women, why?
Because deep down, way deep down, a man still holds the belief that a woman must be weaker than he is. I always feel that this is a really sad case. Forgive me for my informal use of English, but this is truly what I feel. I am repulsed by guys who strive to prove that they are stronger than girls. They look down on girls, shake their head and say, "(sigh) You can't do it."
Some can't, true, but there's always somebody who can. Don't let nobody tell you what you can't do. I've been put down many times, and I am acquainted with the feeling of dismay and despair. Uncertainty hovers over me like an ominous cloud and it holds me back worse than leashes on my neck.
But I'm waiting for the moment when uncertainty loosens her restriction on me and I can seize that opportunity to burst free.

Politics in Layman Terms
What the content for this post will be about, will not be what the title implies.
Personally, I'm new to politics, haven't not read enough to not know more or less the general idea, but not yet read nor understood enough to make an insightful comment on the current situation.
However, I intend to write my thoughts down on what I've understood from what I've read, mainly from Newsweek. I admit it's not my best resource, and Social Studies in school has taught me to cross-refer and check my typicality, but it's better than none, I suppose. I'll ask more questions, no doubt, to gain a better understanding. But for now, this is all I've got.
Initially, it surprised me how people would go to lengths to fight for presidency and authority, even though it was - still is - dark, corrupt and utterly confusing. Friends or foes? There's no such thing as black and white as far as I can figure out.
But there's more in politics than just authority. It's just that I don't know what it is.
I'm in awe and I'm in doubt.

Last night was Taiwan's long-awaited election, to show its support for Kuomingtang (KMT), and, finally ensure that Taiwan moves upwards in 2008, instead of spiralling down into oblivion.
81:27
These numbers are definitely ones that are on the top of my list this year. KMT's won by a good margin, and I believe this instills a sense of satisfaction in all KMT supporters like I do.
I don't expect to be disappointed. Not this year, at least.

First Ten Words
I've decided to form sentences using the first ten words of the vocabulary list I had put up.
The ophthalomogist gave a baffling explanation about how the disease affects the eye.
The audacious boy was a recalcitrant because of his lenient parents.
She told an incredible story about how she had stopped the prevalent disease from spreading.
The repulsive bully stood in front of the quivering boy, an ominous cloud forming above his head.
The disheveled boy managed to parry the blow from the bully.
How'd I do?

Whew!
I just spent the past half an hour figuring out how to rearrange the template and add in the title for my blog. I am now officially in awe of the blogskin makers. Never thought I'd say this, but they really have a lot of patience and creativity to figure out the text! Even I can't stand it. Argh.
Now, it's late.
Sleep crawls unto me like how the shadows set in at night.
See the oxymoronicsm?

Fwd:
TO SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT
*WIFE VS. HUSBAND*>
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the wife replied, "In-laws."
WORDS*>
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION*>
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time." The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
WHO DOES WHAT*>
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee." The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.......... "HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment*>
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.>>God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.>>SEND THIS TO SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT
If you can't laugh at this, you have a sad life. Because simple laughter is the greatest joy.

The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.......... "HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment*>
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Vocabulary Challenge
Boredom and an interest in vocabulary results in this. -.-
~
We had a "Vocabulary Challenge" in class today. On my first page, I thought, "Okay, not bad. I can pass." By then, Mrs. G was doing a countdown. "60 seconds left." Everyone else around me was making squeaky noises and mumbling about the lack of time, while I was wondering what was so difficult about the test? "Time's up." And then I realised that there was a second page to it. No shit.
Obviously I didn't manage to complete it (duh) and a glance through the second page and I realized I didn't know half of them. Oh great. Anyway, here are the words, 'cause I'm a vocab freak.
