Dynasty Dsyfunction
normally i don't go posting about my daily routines like many other senseless blogs (oh i woke up this morning, squeeze 1 inch of toothpaste... i think i had 40 motions in all, then my mum tells me to change my underwear........yes sure we want to know all tht...) but just thought i highlight the ridiculous family disorder which is what the movie is pretty much centers around. (the battle scene was disappointing and 1-sided..=( )
1. Emporer... poisons current wife, still in love with previous wife, proclaims 1st son to be favorite but gives the 2nd son heir to the throne. Fate unknown
2. Empress.... lunatic who sides with 2nd son (1st son is not her birth son)..... but yet has affair with step son... (eww?), leads upsurp against emporer. Fate unknown.
3.1st Son.... affair with stepmom, relationship with sister (incest.... but its cuz he didnt know). Killed by youngest brother.
4.2nd Son.... probably the only sane one... and one heck of a warrior....Kills himself after failed reballion.
5.3rd Son...... ignored by everyone, gets mad and stabs oldest brother. Killed by angry father.
and you thought your family was dysfuntional.......
Just been to the cinema with Ee Wei, Ric and Ric's bro.... and we watched.... Curse of the Golden Flower

Newsclips and Diarrhea
Of course the concept of diarhhea is not an unfamilair one to me, for i have witness different forms of them. Firstly, there is verbal Diarrhea, a gut-wrenchingly annoying complex in which when individuals open their mouth, the words do not stop coming out. Secondly, monetary diarhhea, in which individuals literraly 'shit their money away', charming. Finally, emotional diarhhea, which is basically, the illness in which the emotions of an individuals keeps pouring out at you, weighing you down with every tear, laughter or cries. then of course theres physical diarhhea, but we all know what that is. x.x
Well enough talk about diarhhea.....
Guess what i just spotted, eventhough this was ages ago.

Lots of fun at street party
BY EE-LYN TAN
EMULATING the street parties of New Orleans, INTI College Malaysia in Nilai held their annual street party amid a carnival-like atmosphere of music, food and dance.
The night kicked off with a cultural parade with 40 students representing 15 countries, including Mongolia, Myanmar, Maldives and Sudan.
“I’ve attended the past three street parties in INTI but this is the first time I’ve taken part in the cultural parade and I’m proud to show everyone a taste of Kenya,” said Business Administration student Charles King’atua, who wore the traditional costume of the Maasain Regali tribe.
The water balloon-throwing stall was a popular attraction at the street party.
A series of cultural and musical performances were held and the DJ spun music throughout the night to keep the students entertained.
Along the street were stalls selling everything from food and drinks to jewellery.
The water balloon-throwing stall proved to be the most popular. The participants had to throw as many balloons as they could within a time frame at a target that included lecturers and students.
The idea for the event was mooted by the college's tennis clubpresident, Roger Ong, who wanted to do something out of the ordinary.
Mechatronics Engineering student Ishara Chathuranga, 20, from Sri Lanka said he was attending the street party for the first time.
“I have a lot of my friends performing, so I’m all ready to have fun and take my mind off studies,” he said.
The INTI Hostel Board took about a month to organise the event.
“We spent a lot of time sourcing for sponsors and looking for performers,” said board president Rajeswari Kangaratnam.
Although this was the first time she organised the party, it was worth the time and effort.
“I’m happy with the way everything turned out,” she added.
INTI College associate vice-president Dr Lim Ho Peng commended the organising committee for their hard work and determination.
“This event is like a miniature version of the United Nations. It is good that we have been given an opportunity like this to celebrate fellowship and get to know one another a little better,” said Dr Lim.
The students danced the night away until 1am.

Well Xmas is over, no more 'HOs and HAs' and festive cheer. Instead, Johor has been greeted by a 28hour precipiratory diahretic phenomenon which is still going strong. By this i mean its been raining for friggin ages.

The Nightmare before Christmukkah
Bak from 'nam.... twas nice, prob hear more about it soon but i don't have any time rite nw.
In the meantime, its tales by Tim Burton, our friendly director/writer/producer/DAMN-talented-man/best-director-next-to-clint-eastwood/wierd-guy who embraces spooky, dark victorian sorta-gothic styles in his movies (yes qutie a mouthful). But hey! he writes books too, so i thought i share some stories which i find quite entertaining from 'The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy'.
Anywayz, Tim Burton basically wrote this book to highlight the troubles of young teens in various surreal scnerios while embracing his distinct flavourful styles. (btw the graphics are really nice too.... yet a tad creepy! )
1. The Boy With nails In His Eyes
The Boy with Nails in His Eyes
Put up his aluminum tree
It looked pretty strange
because he couldn't really see
2. The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy
He proposed in the dunes,
they were wed by the sea,
their nine-day-long honeymon
was on the isle of capri.
For their supper they had one spectacular dish-
a simmering stew of mollusks and fish
And while he savored the broth,
her bride's heart made a wish.
That wish did come true- she gave birth to a baby.
But was this little one human?
Well,
maybe.
Ten fingers, ten toes,
he had plumbing and sight.
He could hear, he could feel,
but normal?
Not quite.
This unatural birth, this canker, this blight,
was the start and the end and the sum of their plight.
She railed at the doctor:
"He cannot be mine.
He smells of ocean, of seaweed and brine."
"You should count yourself lucky, for only last week,
I treated a girl with three ears and a beak.
That your son is half oyster
you cannot blame me.
...have you considered, by chance,
a small home by the sea?"
Not Knowing what to name him,
they just called him sam,
or, sometimes,
"that thing that looks like a clam."
Everyone wondered, but noone could tell,
When would young Oyster boy come out of his shell?
When the Thompson quadruplets espied him one day
they called him a bivalve and ran quickly away.
One spring afternnon
Sam was left in the rain.
At the southwestern corner of Seaview and main,
he watched the rain water as it swirled
down the drain.
His mom on the freeway
in the breakdown lane
was pounding the dashboard-
she couldn't contain
the ever-rising grief,
frustration,
and pain.
"Really, sweetheart," she said,
"I don't mean to make fun,
but something smells fishy
and i think its our son.
I don't like to say this, but it must be said,
you're blaming our son for your problems in bed."
He tried salves, he tried ointments
that turned everything red
He tried potions and lotions
and tincture of lead.
He ached and itched and twichted and he bled.
The doctor diagnosed,
"I can;t be quite sure,
but the cause of the problem may also be the cure.
They say oysters improve your sexual powers.
Perhaps eating your son
would help you do it for hours!"
He came on tiptoe,
he came on the sly,
swaer on his forehead,
and on his lips- a lie.
"Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry,
but do you dream of heaven?
Have you wanted to die?"
Sam blinked his eyes twice
but made no reply.
Dad fingered his knife and loosened his tie.
As he picked up his son
Sam dripped on his coat.
With the shell to his lips,
Sam slipped down his throat.
They buried him quickly in the sand by the sea
-sighed a prayer, wept a tear-
and were back home by three.
Across of gray drifttwood marked osyter boy's grave.
Words writ in the sand
promised Jesus would save.
But his memory was lost with one high-tide wave.
Back home safe in bed,
he kissed her and said,
"Let's give it a whirl."
"But this time," she whispered, "we'll wish for a girl."
3. Stick Boy's Festive Season
Stick Boy noticed that his christmas tree looked healtheir
than he did.
4. Junk Girl
There once was a girl
who was made of junk.
She looked really dirty,
and she smelled like a skunk.
She was always unhappym
or in one of her slumps- perhaps 'cause she spent
so much time down in the dumps.
The only bright moment
was froma guy named stan.
he was the neighborhood
garbage man.
He loved her alot
and made a marraige proposal,
but she'd already thrown herself
down a garbage disposal.
Disclamer: I did not write any of these stories, they are quoted as they were in the book. Hopefully, no law was broken. if your looking for the rightful writer, his name is Tim Burton.
Btw you can see all of his stories at http://homepage.eircom.net/~sebulbac/burton/choose.html
And I recommend you do!

A heart so cold, still made of gold
In some casesl one looks too far ahead, and shifts their priorities too soon, upsetting the delicate scale that pulls their life together. When we are little, we overlook and underweigh the important components and selfishly heed to the needs of ourself. However, this is natural and can hardly be blamed for it is only human nature. However, times change and experiences emerge. Lessons are learnt, battles and fought, lost and won. It is then we begin the shift the balance of our priorities, and add weight apon those that begin to truly matter to us.
Is we were to truly satisfy Maslow's heirachy of needs, to the point where life was so evenful that self-actualization occured. What happens next? Does life then become somewhat hollow, no long purposeful. Or is there a higher tier of needs, that are no longer of our own that we can begin to tend to?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its been wierd lately. Been thinking about lots of things and wondering about priorities
and the future...and present and past alike. But its not the stuff i think a 17 yr old shud be thinking abt... its just been wierd lately and i';ve been getting all these mixed signals
I'd love to elaborate but i dunno, theres just been alot of things going through my mind.
and btw, i'm feeling much better =) after a few days of medical fasting (as i like to call it)... i've regained health and been craving (and thinking) about food non-stop. You can't blame a guy who didnt eat for nearly 3 days and sees a KFC commercial appear on TV.....gosh glutonny is evil.
Maslow's hierachy of needs (diagram below) is a psychological theory that proposes that in order for humans to consider on improving personal traits and achieve self-actualization, we need to satisfy the needs of the lower rung (i.e. food, thirst, etc.) to be able to consider those of the above. However, i do wonder if we can break the metaphysical laws of a pyramid and attend to the needs of other rungsfirst.

Essays... oh those darn essays.
So now i've got the second dilemma, what on earth am i gonna write about. I can safely say my creative flair for choosing topics to write about is about as acute as a dung beetle's sense of hygiene. I know how to write them, i just dunno what to write about.
Its easy to pick topics for blogging, but not so much when your writing a piece of a4 side thats pratically going to sum up my 17year life including detailed info. about my attributes, aspirations and ambitions. oh geez...
my heads suffering major bicranial-essayliptus-pickaliptus disorder.

WEll time to buckle down and finally do that UW-M essay that i've been procrasinating for a least a month...just cuz i frekin want to get in and i want the essay to win the hearts of 'em admission officers. =) Since my grades are ... well crappy compared to the science tech/geeks/studyf reaks of collegecofidential.com and all their talk of whether my 4.0gpa will get me into this school is starting to put me off....and down. oh boy... i'm getting nervous about the outcome already and i havent even sent the application. =S
