Lady Bird?

I suddenly remembered the day Cherlyn and Lx were arguing over the name of a red spotted insect, the ladybird, or the ladybug.

Technically, both are correct. Though Singapore, as a former British Colony and is currently using British English, we should be using Ladybird. Ladybug is North American.

So yeah.

A whole list of differences between British and American vocabulary can be found here.

The next time we should say "chips" and not "french fries", ok?

Listening to: Empire State of Mind

I want to try replying that. Someone please post a suicidal entry.

On another note, I don't think I need more bookshelves. I need a room dedicated to be my library.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

I bought Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief yesterday. I spent a total of roughly 6hours finishing it.

The story is awesome enough to make me stay awake till 6am even though I have a Lolita Tea Party a few hours later.

Sarcasm, one of my most favourite element in a story, is littered so generously throughout that I thought the authors' British. The main character has a penchant for humourously logical thoughts. And it is a story about fantasy and magic.

All these are the perfect ingredients for a very very good read. I wouldn't say that the story is overwhelming, it has never come close to how blown away I felt after finishing Dan Brown's Lost Symbol. And sadly enough, the plot is quite predictable in many many parts.

Perhaps you just gained experience points in guessing story plots after specialising in reading Fantasy for so many years.

One thing that I had never got to predict correctly is how much I fell in love with Poseidon (The God, not that sunk ship). He fucking only appeared in the last few pages with only a few lines, but he got me attracted enough to start a Youtube search frenzy.

Alas, I am disappointed by his appearance in the movie.

So I will leave it up to my imagination to create wonders for now.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is one of the few series that got me wanting to learn. The last time something similar happened is after reading a Japanese series about Loki, the Norse Trickster God. For a while, I was immersed into Norse Mythology.

I am guessing for the next few days, I will be researching about Greek Mythology.

To the Lolita Party.

It was a blast. I never expected the restaurant to give us such a good room. I never expected their Tea Set to be so filling. I never expected Tim to give me such a huge Ang Bao for this thing.

I hope all the Lolis had fun. I certainly had. I am really fucking tired (Refer to above), and not to mention after barely 2hours of sleep in the morning my brother woke me up and I had to pacify him. He chose a very good day to get me to comfort him instead of his parents and maid.

As usual, all pictures are in facebook. I am too lazy to even upload a single picture now on Blogger. So yeah.=D

I am making my way down to Town soon to buy Under the Dome by Stephen King. I know I should buy book 2-5 of the Percy Jackson series, but I had really lusted over Under the Dome for a very long time.

Percy Jackson can wait since the girls who read it commented that it is not as awesome. Not very awesome stories can stay on the Get-it-later list.

The last train

(My title sounds perfect for the next Japanese ghost film.)

Today, Lx and I were too engrossed in our conversation and missed our MRT stop. we alighted at Simei to find out 5minutes later that the last train back had left. FML.

Today, I found out my Dad gave money to my brother and sister for new Chinese New Year clothes, while I get nothing. FML.

OH BLOODY HELL

I spent one whole day rushing my game character to Level 24 in World B, when I realised I could have created 3 more characters in World A.

Fuck, if I had known sooner, I could create all my new noobs in World A and they will have financial support from my main character, instead of being poor assholes.

KNN.

I should be resting instead of playing actually. I am still feeling so uncomfortable.

Feeling so uncomfortable with a sore throat and running nose, not to mention that my leg grew some weird bump and it is freaking painful while walking.

And fuck I just lose 1 litre of blood through my nose again.

It has been a long while since I feel unwell to this extent.



From FML:

Today, I learned that being a twin really isn't that cool. After laughing at my twin brother for getting a speeding ticket he turns to me and says "It's not mine." Confused, I look at the ticket and see my name. He used my license. FML

Today, it is my twin sisters and my birthday. We both wanted a day at the spa for our birthday. My sister got a gift certificate to the spa, while I got mouthwash and a $20 gift card to Target. My mom said it would cost too much to make me pretty also. FML

Lolita IS NOT Cosplay

Went out with Eliz and Ben last Saturday!!!

Brought them to eat sliced ice, and I think they fell in love with it too.=D

Eliz is still so SMALL despite being a JC1 student already. Oh, and I think I love shopping with Eliz=D Let's go out soon again!

I just received a message from one of my ex-secondary classmate. She was asking me to join the Damai Alumni as she is currently working there. It seems that they are planning some events.

However, right after I submitted my name to be part of the Alumni, she says Cherlyn and me could COSPLAY and take pictures with the other people during the event.

First off, What? Are they not organising an event and we are the audience?

Second, WHAT THE FUCK IS COSPLAY?

Lolita IS NOT Cosplay.

When I pointed this out, she says "aiya shui bian la"

No girl, I am serious about Lolita and I am not going to be "shui bian" about it. Dress up for some Damai Alumni event to help you pull in your crowds? No, not even if it is my ex-school, thank you very much.

I did not reply her after that and I regretted submitting my name now.

I admit I am very very anal when it comes to any issues related to Lolita and my dresses.

Well, but since she has been a very good friend to me throughout my secondary school years, I will help her to advertise here: Any ex-damaians who wish to join the Alumni please contact Catherine Chua. (She can be located in my Facebook list of friends.)

Somehow, I now feel like removing all pictures of me in Lolita on Facebook now.
