Windows Blinds :D

EDIT// BEFORE YOU GO ON TO READ THIS POST, CAN SOMEBODY BRING ME A SCHOOL BADGE ON MONDAY?! MY GOODNESS I KILLED MINE!

It's past 3am and approaching 4am. And what is ning doing?
Customizing her desktop. I'm such a genius, I can't explain myself.

But yes, I made my desktop Apple-ized. iDesktop! :P



How very pretty. I changed my wallpaper, replaced some icons (the icons are from pixelgirlpresents and based on Spirited Away! SO PRETTY) and whatnot and got Windows Blinds. This skin, by far is the prettiest, slickest and the most compact, so to speak. The ORANGE tooltip is too hideous, so I'm not going to try show it to you, I'm going to have to live with it until I find a way to tweak it, or until I find a new skin.

ANDDDD I also installed a new firefox theme. iFox. Hoho. (and this is how far I typed before I took a new screenshot. Don't worry, I don't type THAT slowly - I took short breaks)



Ol' fickle me. I'm not too fond of the way the tabs are, so... angular and displaced. But dang, that I'll have to live with just as well because it matches my Windows Blinds skin - which I also have to live with since I can't find anything better.

Maybe, to get everything to match, I should get iTunes - or get an iTunes skin for Windows Media Player. OH YAYNESS. I so very apple :D (I think I'm a bit... off? It's 3+, pardon me)

Someone chase me to bed please or I'll spend the next few hours scouting for another Windows Blinds skin.

Nah, kidding. I'll go to bed soon - soon after I finish marking my Chemistry TYS answers and uh... type out Social Studies notes *nods*

I love my iDesktop, do you? XD

YUE-BAITCH & TEH CHUM

With friends like these, it's no doubt you grow weirder each day. It's the influence I tell you.

Ning: IS NING SMART? NO! ):
Yue: BUT SHE CAN DRAW AND HAVE HOT SEXUAL STALKERS
Yue: you idiot jeez i can't believe i'm friends with you
you know what
we're over
done
Ning: WHAT?!

Yue-baitch claims the bus-stop dude is one of the hot sexual stalkers. I think all the rest of the guys are merely deluded bastards.

And I have low IQ.

It's 4.52am (:
At this rate, my IQ will perish.

OH YES. And this is what chum says:
charm.ie says:
jah, you weirdo
charm.ie says:
you switch between diff ethnicities all the time!

): I'm... japanese, korean, chinese, mongolian and malay. And look at this comment. Too funny. WTF, chum.

Screw the body clock

There are some really bad times to screw your body clock. And you know that when you want to screw your body clock, it requires careful planning.

For example, how I screwed my body clock yesterday/today without planning. Which is actually pretty bad.

So you see, yesterday I did not sleep - I was rushing to complete AEP, which didn't quite work out cos I didn't accomplish pretty much. So my very smart plan was, if I didn't sleep I'd feel tired today, so I'll rest early, and have sufficient rest for the coming paper tomorrow. But how wrong I was. I was indeed, very tired today - I could do NOTHING productive, could focus on NOTHING, and I could not even study for my social studies exam. How very wrong.

And so the moment I got home from AEP around 5, I browsed through some notes before plonking asleep thinking that I need the energy to study later into the night. I slept all the way till 9ish-10. It was, technically, a day's sleep. And now I'm tired but can't sleep. Yayness.

Ning shall learn from her lessons and not attempt dangerous body-clock-screwing activities at such a crucial time, right smack between the exams. *nods*

Hmm

The very different people we happen to be. So Alessa, Krystle and I were just at Thomson. After having hotcakes from macs (after history paper), we wanted to head to the "homemade icecream" shop called Icekimo but it was closed and there was a sign at the door: Sorry something something Family Emergency. The 3 of us had entirely different impressions of such a vague phrase. It started with Al!

The first thing that came to Al was Charmed -_- The whole family emergency thing when they have to go off to deal with demons or something? Say, that's pretty far-fetched huh! But we conclude that Alessa has a wild imagination, and loves fantasy. Krystle thought that it was some pregnancy, someone in labour, about to give birth or something. And so you see, Krystle's first impression of an emergency is BIRTH or a new life, how very optimistic of her. And Me... *coughs* I thought that *touchwood* someone in the family died or had a heart attack or something. So I'm actually quite the opposite of Krystle. HAHA!

After that I stoned in school before meeting the AEP girls after their Physics paper (I don't physics, you see). Then went to the AEP studio to do our mural design after that. Mr Tan Wil-kie was in a good mood, like major scary good mood. I asked him why he was in such a good mood and he said "No, actually I'm quite siao-ding-dong today." .___. *stares*

He just got out of the office and into the mac lab and when he saw me he called me a monkey -___- WTF?! MONKEY?! I still don't get why though. But anyways, he was in such a good mood that it was pretty funny, not that its anything bad at all (:

Oh, the strange things people do *shakes head*

STUPID

Art KILLS.

There's this one thing (amongst many others, of course) that I seriously hate about myself. I NEVER LEARN, DAMNIT. You'd think that after failing my drawing paper and the made Sunday-stayups for everything-AEP, I'd attempt to start on my prep work alot earlier. I don't know how people like Sarah, Joan and Zeeng complete their prep work eons before time -_- I can never make it!

I think many have already guessed, since Savie can actually guess almost ALL the AEP girls' theme choices. It's just so very me to choose paradox, is it not? But yes GRAH.

I very intelligently decided to do something on owl, a subject I've always wanted to try my hands on and now because I'm so confident of failing, I mind no risks.

AND NO. I'm only 20 minutes into my prep work and I still haven't gotten any further than an owl's head. 20 minutes = 1 owl head = 1/8 page. The 3 hour paper coming up tomorrow shall be no easy feat - I'd probably have to fight the urge to slip into slumberland along (which I rather not - imagine waking up with all the pencil marks on your cheeks. LIKE OWL TATTOO!)



I need to learn my lesson yes X_X

SO UPSETTING. My owl, which is supposed to look mildly majestic is looking sad, upset, down and sleepy. WTF LA.

EDIT// AHAHA ZEENG SAYS I CAN GET EXTRA POINTS!
Cos the owl looks sleepy! Like me! Is nocturnal! Like me! Is wise! Like me (ROTF!)!! And then the owl will be put in contradictatory environments. Like me (in this world called earth).

Allow me.

So, I spent my weekend at the cow's because I thought shit I really really needed company. Aside from the going-to-cow's, the weekend was pretty wrecked. It was a movie marathon sorta stayover, yea.

(Cut the Crap)

Yeppo, headed straight for the cow's right after. We watched Alex and Emma followed by Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Gah *flips hand*, those annoyingly mediocre flicks never fails to bore me witless. In between, we made mashed potatoes, when the cow had very very-violent-indeed nature unleased, followed by an exclamation "I love chopping". Very violent yes, look at what she did to the poor fork.



Then we headed for dinner with her family at teh Buckaroo, where we spent dinner (aside from eating, of course) mumbling about annoying crying babies. Bottle Tree Village was next, it's a beautiful place and we sorta urhm stoned there. Took pictures and all. Hee, there's also a pic of the cow hanging on a.. uhrm signpost yes.



Then on the way back to her house, we took loads of pics (many of which I've deleted *coughs*) again, experimenting with the lighting. It was afterall 9pm+ and rather dark and we didn't turn on the car lights so we used my camera's flash - bright, too bright. But we loved the effect cos they looked very studio-ish, if only they weren't blur though. Produced were many rather creep-inducing visuals, but some pretty ones still.



Headed back. Stoned. Continued watching. Alot like Love is -SUCH- a wonderful show, I've never seen anything cuter than this couple, really. After Alot like love, it was roughly 2am and I was - SLAMKABLAMBAM - totally drained, I fell asleep while watching the special features after the movie. I didn't even know I fell asleep, so it was pretty funny cos I was just talking to the cow then apparently i just suddenly stopped talking and when I woke up all I remember was her saying "OH GOD!" cos she saw me sleeping. She really wanted to go on though, so we watched Cellular. But I was still rather drained. We held out till the first disc for Cellular ended before heading to bed at 3.

We woke up today and watched the rest of Cellular. CHRIS EVANS IS SO FREAKING HOT, the show's not - stupid annoying jessicawoman. Then we watched the Bone Collector, which is also one of the really great shows! Muchly loved! What's more, Angelina Jolie was in it!

Out of the five, only 2 had been thoroughly enjoyed. It's so great though, we oughta have another movie marathon like this. Use the cow's brother's Video EZY credits and make him help us rent the NC-16 and M-18 (and possibly, R-21) movies :D:D

I know you love videos

We cordially welcome the very cool entertainers, Savie and Delle.

So yes, after school I couldn't go with krystle cos I had to go for CCA com meeting and also pack up the studio. After everything, I stoned while my class' pickleball players played uh pickleball. Was pretty exhausted through the day, from the very start of the day onward and whatnot - for not much reason for that matter, but who gives a crap.

After all the poor extremely drained players called it a day, we headed for dinner (or what Jana calls lunch) at Burger King! We made a whole hell of a noise. Oh very bad indeed *coughs* But nevermind, we provided free entertainment.

Armed with my very nifty camera (or what Jana calls phone), we recorded some (no, actually ALOT) insane videos. Oh we all know you love videos, here they come :D

CLICK ON THE SCREENSHOT TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO (they're very small, so worry not)

You'd think they were stoning big time but hey what do you know? Such weird goofers


For very ticklish people, like say savie delle and me, poking can really kill! *nods*


Did you not know?! Delle's genuine alter ego really is but a clam *nods*


PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT THEATRE
Act 1 Scene 1: Savie confronts Delle for beating her parents up.
You're in for a shock, big time. The following parts involve everyone else telling savie how hard-hearted she is *COUGHS*


PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT THEATRE
Act 1 Scene 2: Savie slaps Delle for unknown reason. Delle reacts violently, well though soundlessly, "你敢打我?! / NI GAN DA WO!?"
You'll love this :P We're saving the best for the last!

._.

By the way, I'm starting to believe in Karma.

I'm so entirely completely insanely exhausted, I look drugged. CIP, Open Studios and then the long insane trip home. CIP got past pretty fun, that being after I had gotten over the mad anxiety of approaching people. Before that Krys, Audrey and Zeeng had to bear with my whimperings and lamenting. Not too bad I supposed, since I managed 15 pins sold at $2 each in just 30 minutes or so.

A quickie before trying to bum to bed. And my hair is SHEDDING like crazy, it's not even funny. I'll go bald one day and have myself parade through town or something.

Yes. Stupid Uni. We were pretty insane today during AEP open studios. It was all dark and everything and we left our bags at a deep end of the deserted GAP studio. RAN in and out screaming our heads off like rabid chickens. It was really scary though.

Next was trying to get down the long, creepy slope. That idiot Uni really should at least attempt to bring her wild imagination in control. She was scaring me the whole way down. Halfway through the slope, we decided that drowning our fears with songs could really help so Uni started singing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and upon reaching "Three bags full" she suddenly went "Oh crap it's quite a dark song" then I was like CRAP and just RAN. I stopped though because idiot Uni wasn't running with me, then we decided to sing something more neutral... uh like ABC. What do you know?! Uni just started increasing her pace and scared we just ran down the slope all the way.

Meh ;_; and on the bus I was saying: yeah people always speak of those crappish whoever died on the slope therefore is haunted and whatnot. Then she went "EH SOMEONE DIED THERE YOU KNOW?!" And I took her word, thinking it's true. Then she went "Yeah, a squirrel. It was dead and squashed." Gah. That girl is mad.

------

Everyone, SMILE. Results may suck but I have nothing to say, I know saying that it's just Sec 3 doesn't help. I know that saying you still have next year doesn't help. I know nothing I say will help but just smile and let your hair down and enjoy whatever time we have inbetween.

Gah

It's 4+ and I can't sleep. Yayness.
I'll try anyway though, because I don't want to look like a wreck on the start of a new week.

Few things before I head off to bed again:
1. I'm insanely broke
2. AMK Library with Danny and Zeeng
3. Pickleball
4. The quirks
5. Gameboy

Okay not-so very few, but who gives a shit.

1. I'm really really insanely broke
See, I counted today that I busted a good 200 bucks in freaking 11 days. And if you take away yesterday, which I spent stoning at home and not spending any money, it makes a good 10 days. Someone PLEASE, knock some sense into me! I'm hopeless when it comes to financial planning. *gives insane pout*

2. AMK Library with Danny and Zeeng
Attempted to study chinese ;_; I didn't really get any further than half of just B, if that's helps. We spent half the time stoning and drawing different renditions of Bob, our love! Hur.

3. Pickleball
Then headed over to Sherry's place to join the rest for pickleball and I dragged Danny along. Pickleball is fun. I'm pathetic, but it's still fun. I'll do this brief, I'm going wacky... We're all so drained! But I think I'm the least drained of course, since I spent more time stoning than doing anything at all. Taro is so pokey! But I'm thinking I'm a little sensitive to his fur. And uh Taro excretes alot *coughs*. I love pickleball/tennis ): *pouts*

4. The quirks
Later on Savie, Delle, Audrey, Jessica and I headed over to J8 for dinner. Much deserved, no doubt. I've never eaten a full Extra-Value Meal in my LIFE and I just gobbled the entire meal down like nobody's business. But heck! So yes, those weirdos were like exhibiting their weird quirks. Rolling tongues, maniacal laughter, stiff fingers, fingers that uh hold coins (not what you think) and whatnot. Was pretty insane and Savie's laughter garnered a good lot of stares from people dining around! :P

5. Gameboy
No fanfic of fancy, so there we go. VisualBoyAdvance! I'm playing eh wazzatcalledohyes FF1&2 Dawn of Souls. It's crazy though, I can't stand the rather draggy tedious parts. But yes, gameboy all over again.
