I hopped out of the shower moments ago to get a razor out of the linen closet. When I couldn't find one I asked my mom to help me. She came in and could not find on either, so she pulled out my father's shaving kit and handed me a razor from it. I promptly replied, "But that's a BOY razor mom." Before she could respond, my father yells from the other room, "Don't worry. It'll close it's eyes." MLIA

Today I was at an H1N1 vaccination clinic getting the shot. As I was waiting the fifteen minutes there, I saw a group of people who had gotten the shot start twitching, making odd groaning noises and then walk out with their arms infront like they were zombies. I love this country. MLIA

Today, I was drinking a CapriSun. When I was done, I blew the pouch up and stepped on it. Immediately after, my brother ran into the room, threw a pillow at me and yelled "RESPECT THE POUCH, RESPECT IT" MLIA.

Today, I remembered talking about being what kindergarten was like with my friend. I said I remembered snack time. She said she remembered sitting around a table and pretending to be computer hackers with her friends. She was serious. I didn't even know what a computer hacker was in kindergarten. MLIA.
~ haha we pretended we were vampires, I had Twilight in my blood before it was even written....... and now the only reason I watch it is shirtless scenes with Taylor Lautner... sigh the irony
we made wish lists with vampire gear we would need to be real vampires. A cape, vampire shoes (yes, the shoes were always on the list), and of course fangs. I don't remember what else was on there.... maybe I should find it.

Today I woke up at 2am to my brother screaming at his laptop "I DON'T CARE IF THERE IS A VELOCIRAPTOR BEHIND YOU, FIND THE LOST TREASURE TINKERBELL". I should play computer games more often MLIA

Today, I asked my 9 year old sister what imperviousness meant. To my surprise, she answered correctly. I asked her how she knew and she said: "Impervio is the spell Hermione uses in Harry Potter to make his glasses waterproof!". MLIA

Today, my brother came out of his room for the first time in 7 hours with a puzzled expression on his face. He said he was playing a computer game when a message popped up saying "You have been playing this game for 7 hours, go for a run". I couldn't stop laughing. MLIA

somehow I realized I should do something

So here I am. Watching YouTube videos (btw, why is YouTube not in google spell check yet? It's getting the red squigglies . Same with google. and squigglies. ah. life is ironic) and I realized : All those people that are extremely popular on youtube.... (OH! youtube in all lower case doesn't get a squiggly) ?
Why can't I have a life like them? I don't mean like I want to copy their lives, but just umm... having a LIFE! that's what I want.

After my recent breakup I've really been feeling the void. Yeah man. Not that the relationship was filling it (ahem ahem) but when you have something to think about all the time (neglectant boyfriends, crushes, stuff like that) your time is pretty much occupied. And it's not like I don't do other stuff... I read a lot, I write a lot, I go running, ... ah who am I kidding.
I have no life, besides maybe school and the aforementioned stuff.

Lately I've really felt the need to get out there and spend time with some new people, in some new places. I just want to put myself out there. I want to have a hobby besides just writing, which is my passion and blah blah blah but seeing that I never finish any of my stories and all that I write aside from that are diary-esque semi-obscure entries or emo poems about not being loved enough it's not really a ... share-able hobby.
I want to the world to see dammit.
!
So I've decided to get off my ass and do stuff.
Maybe try and get this blog somewhere. Finally write that book I've been planning to write. Maybe even make some youtube vids.

I just need to do SOMETHING other than school.

That's it yo.
I'm out
fo sho
(I don't know what I'm trying to do)

update update...: I'd like to meet everyone thrice, life goals, hilarity, failure

my goal in life is to be funny.
Now, most people are going to tell me that that's a fucked up goal and start listing all the things that are wrong with it, but I'm convinced that it's great, so don't even start.
Sensibility doesn't seem a sensible option in view of the world we live in. Just saying...

Have you ever heard of the saying that you meet everyone twice in life?
Well, I was thinking about that and I've come to the conclusion that twice just doesn't cut it for me.
The first time you meet someone you're like WOW ! I'm meeting someone new! and you get so lost in that thought that you don't even get to know the person. The second time you're like WOW! I've met you before! And then you get lost in that thought as well and really you still haven't made any sort of meaningful connection.
And that is where my brilliant plan comes in! Why not meet everyone thrice in life? When you've met someone three times you're already of the initial awe and you can be like: Oh, I know that person - i've met them twice already. Let's actually have a meaningful conversation!

HaH! I have revolutionized life.

Failure. Yesterday when I massively failed at our performance of Creep (by Radiohead) at Shanna's birthday party, I felt like I'd completely lost all respect of all of human kind. But later on I had this thought: Of course you could be perfect all the time. But what would be the fun in that? There would be no ridges, no edges, no bruises to my personality. Perfect = BORING! and also hard to relate to.
Chaos = me. Perfection is not = to chaos.
see? Math saved the day once more

post marathon #1: My obsession with tea bowls

Sigh... I've always had a thing for beautiful pottery but since I finished The Tea House Fire by Ellis Avery it's been worse worse worse (or should I say better better better? XD)........

I can't take my eyes off of tea bowls anymore!

Here are some of my favorites (all results of hours of etsy musings)

This stack of beauties is by RichardJohnson ... whose work I just <3 in general. But these teabowls have that perfect balance of blue and brown that is only second to Black and Navy Blue on my list of beautiful color combinations. I love love love it!













I stared at this bowl by almapottery for probably half an hour when I first found it, until I decided to pinch myself and figured out that no, I was not dreaming. Brown and Blue again... I think I'm seeing a trend :)








haha there were many more, but I shall not bore you any longer.

One more thing: I'm really tempted to make some felt tea things (patterns here check 'em out they're SO cute) for my cousins.... hmmm....

So much for the etsies.... wait for the next wave of marathon posts (which hopefully will contain some sort of substancial)

<3

I have so much to tell you about!

Busy busy bee Sui has been neglecting this wonderful blog in exchange for school work (the IB is treating me harshly) however, mid-winter break is here and I shall unleash all my pent up ideas in an unabridged and tidal-wave-esque manner.

So be prepared for a sort of post-marathon within the next few days. (or hours) we'll see how it goes.

I can't believe I haven' posted since New Years! Argh... time flies... it really does.
These days especially, I wish I could just yell STOP!!!! from time to time and take a moment to breathe and to appreciate what I have and what's around me.

Of course I don't neeeed to have time stop for that and I do sometimes close my eyes and think of all the lovely people and things in my life. The problem is just that time goes on while I do that and with my eyes closed I miss exactly what I'm appreciating at that moment. So my only recourse is to appreciate with my eyes open, which gets cumbersome for someone with a slight tendency towards distraction (slight?? *menacing laughs in the background*) .
*sigh* life is hard :P

PS:. Currently reading The Stranger by Albert Camus (transl. by Matthew Ward). It's for school, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Partly for it's absolutely adorable French-ness (despite translation into english and despite the fact that the subject matter is everything but adorable... I just can't help but smirk at the brusque and francais way of speech Camus uses) but also, of course, for its literary brilliance.

Happy 2009

It's a new year!
Although I'll probably continue to forget that until at least April.

Resolution wise, it's looking pretty grim in terms of the usual ' I will loose 30 pounds' and ' I will save money' stuff.

For me it's more like: Get in no more accidents, get more sleep, be a better student ( oh gosh, a generic one did slip in there!) , it's ok to eat too much food as long as you remember to exercise instead of watching dramas online..... stuff like that......

I know this year'll be great :)
What else can it be?

sitting it out

Have you ever felt like everything is just working against you?
Like the whole world is snickering in your face with heaps and heaps of misfortune?
Have you ever sat in a corner, hugging your legs, your eyes pinched shut just wishing, wishing, that it could all just be ok?

Well that's what I feel like. Right now.

And everything was going to be ok.
I was going to have the most amazing christmas break yet.

But then wednesday happened. Oh how I detest Wednesdays.
The day itself not so much... but it seems that everything bad that happens to me always happens on a wednesday.

They say if you're a kind person and you give kindness to other people, you will get kindness in return.
But that's not how life works.
You give and give and give and all they do is take, take, take. And in the end you sit there with nothing. Nothing but the knowledge that all the things you love are destroyed.

I keep telling myself that, as always, it's just a phase. It will pass and then I'll be happy again.
I know that's true. But I haven't lived long enough to get comfort from the notion.
To me every day that I have to endure lingers on and on and on and on...

and then I get completely sugar high and go crazy
just to make myself forget.
what can I say?
it works..........
