[Tag] Top Ten Sexiest Famous Men

It’s been such a long time since I did a tag. Although I’m very attracted to tags, I restrain from doing them because I always feel that I have other things to write about, & also because I’m lazy ^^;

As you can see from the title, that’s what it’s gonna be. Actually, although you may not know it, I like these kinda topics a lot, but it’s not very nice to be judgmental on someone’s appearances, right? But that’s the thing about blogging, I don’t have to care about whether I’m being nice or not hahahaha ;-P but I’m still not as mean online as I am offline though, I’m not sure why. Probably because I don’t want to be so mean anyway, but I don’t think what I’m doing now is mean, so I shall just do what I like in my blog without caring about the consequences lol.

The only thing that I don’t dare do in my blog is criticize my own country, not only because I don’t feel the need to voice out what I think, but because I wouldn’t want to get into trouble (since I heard someone got arrested for doing that, even blogs can be dangerous wth).

Anyway, what am I delaying the tag for? So, let’s start. This is the rules of the tag:

01. Compose a list of YOUR top ten sexiest famous men.
02. Collect one picture of each guy on your list.
03. Post them in your journal.
04. Tag five people to do the same.

It’s too bad it’s only one pic, but it’s probably to keep the fangirling at bay lol. Anyway, first, let me clearly say this. Since this tag is about sexy ppl, & I don’t normally feel that they’re that sexy enough to attract me (women are such cold creatures nowadays lol), this tag was much harder than I thought ^^; Because to me, a sexy person, whether a guy or a girl, is someone who has a sexy body (basically what would appeal to an average person of the opposite sex) & a good-looking face to match the body. A sexy guy in my opinion is much better looking & attractive than a cute guy (which is most of the time, just a nice face). So, most of the guys that I see, I may consider cute at the most, but rarely do I see someone who I think is sexy. That’s why it took me a considerable time to do this tag, which became a heavy burden after a while ^^;

I wonder how many ppl can recognise this person? XD in case u didn't know, he's Heath Ledger. ^__^ he’s my latest obsession rite now, & if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have posted this so fast (well, not exactly fast, but if it wasn’t because of him, I would’ve posted this much, much later). But I decided to post more about him on a separate post (at first I just wanted to write about him here, but I wrote a lot, so I decided to separate it lol ^^; ). All I will say is that the 1^st time I noticed him was when I saw Casanova. It was in 2006 in the Australian airplane, & my first impression of him was that “he didn’t look that great”, but I fell in love (I’m jokingly saying this, just in case you don’t know ;-P) with him by the end of the show lol (it’s the character that I fell in love with tho XP). & because he’s my latest obsession, he was actually the 10^th person I thought of for this tag ^^; yeah, I’ve been thinking of who to put for the 10 guys since may wth. Which shows that there are either too few hot guys in this world, or that I know too few people, or that my taste is a bit weird, or something like that. But it was seriously harder than I thought to think of 10 guys (suddenly seemed like such a big number) although I thought this tag was easy, but I guess my standards are sort of high ;-P

Ok, next person. I’m not sure who was the 1^st person I thought of when I heard about this tag, but I decided to put this guy’s pic 1^st.

You see, he’s the first actor that really attracted me when I was younger. I was so enamored by him after that show, that I checked the credits (my 2^nd time doing that, I remembered who my 1^st was), & I googled his name, Michael Vartan (also my first time doing that). & so I decided to use a pic that I collected that time, but also because I couldn’t really find any better ones from that particular movie, kinda strange ^^;

3^rd guy.

Before I was filled with thoughts about Heath Ledger, generally, whenever I give a comment about who I think is the best looking actor, I’d always say without hesitation, “Orlando Bloom.” & that’s because after seeing a lot of movies of him, I seriously think that. & the 1^st time I noticed him was in Lord Of The Rings as Legolas (although now thinking about it, actually it was Wei Qi that mentioned him so much that I got curious lol ;-P) & to be honest, I like elf ears XD so I thought that was cute. Well, he is kinda cute, but I’d label him as sexy as the same time, even if he may not be. I mean, it’s like, some ppl would call this guy or that guy sexy (for eg. George Clooney. I definitely think he’s NOT sexy lol XP), but I don’t think they’re sexy. & although I may think of him as sexy, I can’t really give a reason for it, & even if I could, I’d rather not mention my own opinion in public ^^; you see, everytime I think of “Orlando Bloom” & “sexy” at the same time, it reminded me of that time when I read the newspaper article about Pirates Of The Caribbean, & the comment about him was something about “so hot & sexy as a drenched or soaking pirate” T_T because he was wet in that pic, & most of the time I’m not attracted to pics of guys dripping with water or sweat ^^; But anyway, he’s sexier to me dry than wet lol ;-P

4th guy.

He is someone I like a lot, even till now, & as much as Heath Ledger, or rather before Heath Ledger came into my mind ^^; I love to see Johnny Depp act, especially as those eccentric ppl, & I’m his fan basically (you could say I’m a fan of Johnny Depp & Orlando Bloom ^__^). The thing is, I found him the sexiest in the Pirates Of The Caribbean (that may seem weird) & the most amusing compared to his other roles. This pic of him is quite funny, cos it reminds me of how he acts in it ^__^ & just to let you know, I think Orlando Bloom’s better looking, but out of the two, I’d choose Johnny Depp lol XP & I found it really funny when Keira Knightley kissed Johnny Depp & Orlando Bloom saw it, I was like, “OMG! XD” So before I consider Heath Ledger, my two sexiest & favourite actors would be Johnny Depp, then Orlando Bloom, but now I’d put Heath Ledger as number one hahahahaha ;-P

Ok, 5^th guy.

This is one of the guys that in my opinion I felt is sexy, even though I didn’t know him, compared to the other actors that I liked after watching them act. It’s actually this guy that got me all interested in DBSK, & his stage name is Hero. I won’t tell you his real name cos I think you’d find his stage name easier to remember, & if you’re really interested, you should find it out yourself, just like I did lol. But I wasn’t so smart in finding out, I should’ve gone to wikipedia first, now my habit seems to be to always check wikipedia first ^^; & I put this pic because it was him in this outfit & hairstyle that attracted me, because when I started looking for pics of him last time, I noticed him in other outfits & hairstyles, & for some of them I couldn’t help thinking that if I saw him like that, I wouldn’t be interested in him ^^; so it’s true how much difference hairstyle & clothes make, & after seeing him in every single other clothes & hairstyle, this is still my favourite style of look XD it’s obviously a certain style, & I’d consider it as quite lala, but yeah, the kinda style I like is the lala kind ^^; if anyone doesn’t know what lala kind is, I’d be more than happy to post it as a separate post XP

6^th guy.

You can ignore that stupid Asianhunk.net thing ^^; Also a Korean, just like the 5^th guy. They were the only 2 Asian guys in my list that I considered sexy, & I found it funny that they were both Korean. I wanted to put a Japanese guy, but I could never think of them as sexy, at the most I just think they’re good-looking, or cute, but they’re more of an ok look to me, & I like a number of them, but since this tag is about top ten sexy & not which famous men you like, I felt it would be unfair to put them on the list ^^; Anyway, this guy’s name is Lee Jun Ki, for those who didn’t know. He’s the only guy that I found sexy from watching Korean dramas & movies (I never really liked how the other guys look, as in, my 1^st impression is always “not nice” although I do like them during & by the end of the show haha). & there was a great deal of talk about him, because he acted in this movie, The King’s Man, which won an award, so I was curious. So I was determined to see the show, & when I saw it, I realised it was gay hahahahaha ^__^ & he was acting as a guy that looks feminine, & when I saw him on the cover, I couldn’t even recognise him! but his acting skills were not bad, I quite liked it, & because I saw the drama before seeing this movie, my 1^st impression of him was that he was good-looking, but like I said, probably only the 5^th guy is what I felt as sexy ^^; the other guys are just because of my bias opinion

7^th guy.

At that time when I heard about this tag, I was thinking about this actor at that time, because I saw the show “Labyrinth” & he was acting in it. & I really liked him in that role, & I also think he’s sexy, just that, when I searched for pics of him, they weren’t very nice ;-( he only looked sexy in this role with the makeup & outfit ^^; nevertheless, I still think he’s sexy, but only in this role, so I thought it was fair enough to put him in ;-) anyway, I thought I’d say a bit about this role, even if ppl may find me weird after this. It’s just that he was acting as the Goblin King (actually I’d prefer demons, but it’s still in that kind of category, & he doesn’t look like a goblin at all! XD), & he sorta falls in love with the heroine of the story, but he’s actually the villain, so there’s no way they’d be together, but I wouldn’t consider him as the villain, because he was doing what she wanted, but what she wanted was wrong (or she didn’t really mean it anyway), so she actually didn’t want him to do it, so it’s not his fault. & I like the idea of vampires with humans, as long as they have a happy ending (which is normally impossible T_T), but I just wanna say this (& don’t freak out) that I read a very nice comic about the King Of Demons with a normal human, & actually the king of demons was the devil, but they sorta lived happily ever after, in Hell, of course. & he protected her a lot ^__^ but enough of that, I don’t wanna go into too much details ^^;

8th guy.

I’m still his fan, even though I didn’t realise it for some time last time. At least it’s a moving picture (yay! XD) I liked him the best in that white outfit ;-) I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t know him, but maybe I’m making too big a deal out of him, & he’s just a singer who can dance well anyway. Maybe I’ve been influenced by my sis, but probably it was just coincidence that I liked his songs & videos, even though it was my sis that listened to him first, & I couldn’t help listening to him at that time. But anyway, I really liked his music videos a lot & I still do, so he was probably the 1^st or one of the few guys (as in, singer) that I liked at an early age (around 8 or 9).

9^th guy.

This was when I was running out of ideas, & I was trying to think of any guy that I liked from movies, & I was going through all the movies (in my head) starting from when I was young, & one of them (probably the most liked character) was this guy. I used to see that movie lots of times (I think at least 100 times lol ^^; ), it’s called “Pride & Prejudice” & he, is obviously Mr. Darcy XD His real name is David Rintoul, & he looked very fine in that show ^__^ I think he acted his role quite well, but he was the 1^st actor that I was curious to know his real name, & I looked at the credits for my 1^st time. But at that time, there wasn’t really any Internet yet, so I’d just remember his name. ^^ I guess, what I liked the best was, from such a serious & haughty face, in the later part of the show, he’d smile more & be much more pleasant, but I wouldn’t call him sexy either, so you could say that this list isn’t really my top ten sexiest men ^^;

10^th guy.

As you can see, his name is on the pic, & yeah, although it was the best I could find, it’s the worst pic in my whole list, to be honest ;-( Actually, he’s the 9^th guy I thought of, & it was quite a lame choice, but I was running out of sexy men lol ^^; You see, I don’t remember who was the actor that I saw doing Zorro, but when I saw Zorro, it was around 1997, & it was a TV series, & I’d have sorta romantic fantasies at that time of Zorro on his horse, sweeping me off my feet, stuff like that hahahaha ^^; So, you could say that at that time, I really liked Zorro a lot, & I would consider him sexy, but it’s still just a character, or rather, a guy with a mask, & thinking about it, when someone covers their face with a mask, then it’s harder to see their flaws & easier to glorify them.

Anyway, after doing all this & looking back, I couldn’t help thinking that if anyone were to read this post, they’d be feeling & reacting the same way I did when I read the post of the person who tagged me; either laughing until my sides ached XP or thinking sth like, “eww” ^^; you see, like her, I realised that the guys who I put as sexy, most of them aren’t really because they’re sexy (& if I think they are, some ppl may not agree so easily because these guys may not be their idea of sexy), but because of my fond memories of them, & you could say, soft spot. As in, I think most of them are sexy because when I see them singing, or acting, or dancing (basically, moving), it appeals to me obviously, so whoever who started this tag should have made the requirement to put videos rather than pics. I mean, if you wanna put pics of sexy guys so much, the tag should have been “the 10 most photogenic guys” or something like that ;-P

& I sorta realised that I didn’t really put any nice sexy pics of men here, but that’s because I’d rather look at the face than the body, & if he had both, it’d be hard for me to focus on his face only lol XP so I thought I’d put just one pic here of what my general view on sexy men is like (& pls don’t laugh at me, I’m just being typical here) ^^;

I think it's funny & stupid at the same time when they try to push down their pants a bit, but anyway, it was so hard to find to find a nice pic of a general sexy guy that I thought that this will do. I prefer the guy with the necklace, including his face lol XP Generally, I think abs or a flat stomach is sexy, & although I don't mind muscles, I'd prefer if it wasn't overdone ^^; & I don't really share the same enthusiasms as other girls about guy's asses, cos I feel that as long as they're flat, that's fine ^^;

wth I wrote so long T_T well, at least I wrote most of my thoughts ;-)

oh, I forgot, I had to tag 5 ppl ^^;

1. my sis, Evelyn (I know you read my blog, & I thought it'd be fun for you if ever you're bored, but if you feel that someone's gonna get jealous then better not ;-P)
2. LadyVanity (unless u did it before)
3. weiqi
4. venuga
5. whoever who's interested, as long as you pass the post link to me to laugh at ;-P

Next post: HL!!! XD XD XD

Bungy & Skydiving

Of course, I already knew we were going to do bungy because bungy originated from New Zealand & my dad said it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, but obviously I didn’t expect skydiving.

Skydiving! Omg, it was so cool, doing the kind of thing that you only see in movies. If you don’t really know what is skydiving (which I wasn’t sure about either until I saw the pictures & video), it’s basically jumping of a plane & experiencing freefall before parachuting. Bungy also has freefall, but obviously much shorter, I mean, come on, when you jump of a plane, you’ve to be really high up. The only thing was that in skydiving, you’ve to do it tandem, because obviously you can’t be expected to know how to parachute & all that, so the person stuck to your back will be doing pretty much everything for you.

Thinking about it gets me all excited, but I doubt ppl would wanna hear my experiences about it, since I’m long-winded & all, but truly, it was a wonderful feeling… well, although I say wonderful, but other ppl would probably think otherwise, since there’s a chance of dying & all that, & I wouldn’t exactly say that falling down is a wonderful thing, it’s juz that it was super exciting. & I’d love to do it again. XD

Unfortunately, none of my family members seem to share my feelings, but I didn’t expect them to anyway, because the only one was excited at the thought of bungy jumping was me, & at that time, I didn’t know we were going to do skydiving.

Anyway, we did the bungy at 43 m & the skydiving at 9000 feet (around 2727 m). Can you even imagine the difference?!?!?!? You see, when we did the skydiving, it was at a mountainside area, & that mountain was around 6000 feet, so that’s how high it was. & that was the lowest height!!! As in, there was also at 12000 & 15000 feet, which was $50 extra respectively, but my dad said 9000 just for the experience. Personally, I would’ve liked to have done the highest, but that’s too greedy already, when I didn’t even expect to do this. ^^; & the bungy had another higher choice also, & it was at the edge of a cliff! XD now that sounds scary, but I thought it sounded really cool~ ^__^ the reason why we didn’t do it was cos the bungy would take whole day because we would have to drive to the cliff, & it didn’t seem worth it…

So those 2 activities took up the whole day, even though the actual thing was quite fast… for the bungy, there was only 5 seconds of freefall, but it took around 30 mins there & back, & the bungy were done in groups of around 10 ppl, so everyone doing it took around 1 hr.

We did the bungy first, then skydiving. Whether it was bungy or skydiving, both scared me a little bit, but not in the oh-I’m-gonna-die kinda way, more like the I’m-gonna-make a-fool-of-myself kinda way. Actually, that feeling was for bungy, because when you do it, your feet is tied up, so much that you can’t walk properly, rather, you have to shuffle your feet bit by bit to move (there went my dream to run & bungy jump)… ^^;

What happened was, we were made to shuffle to the edge of the ledge & jump from there. So, when shuffling my feet there, I couldn’t help feeling a little nervous. I mean, how often it is that you go so close to an edge that you could fall, & see how far you are fromn the ground, but knowing you’d be safe & that you won’t die? Even now, I’m not sure why I was nervous, but it’s just feelings, & you can’t really stop that. I think the biggest thing that made me nervous (although there were probably other reasons) was that when I was shuffling to the ledge, the guy who tied my feet together & all that was behind me, & he was the one who asked me to go forward. So I’d inch my feet bit by bit, & he’d ask me to go further. I got to the part where the tip of my big, bulky shoes touched the edge, & when he was pushing me to go a bit more, I must’ve seemed quite reluctant cos then he said, “Don’t worry, don’t be scared, I’m holding you.” & I couldn’t help thinking, what good does that do?!? I mean, after he said that, I couldn’t help imagining what’d happen if the clumsy, old me resurfaced & while shuffling, or even when standing still, I trip over my own feet, or overbalance, & fall?

I don’t like to admit this, but I’m VERY heavy. Heavier than an average girl, & heavier than a lotta guys. >_>; & I’m not gonna say how heavy I am, so you will NEVER find out lol ;-P anyway, back to my point. No matter how strong he was, it wouldn’t be easy to pull me back if I fell, & I sorta vividly imagined me falling, & managing to grab on to the ledge, & he struggling to pull me up while I struggled to climb up & fall again, or me falling, & him falling as well HAHAHAHAHAHA XP

Anyway, I didn’t fall (hahaha thank goodness, I hate embarrassing myself ^^; ), & while imagining that, I shuffled my feet a little bit more, & my toes peeked past the edge (gosh, so scary) & it felt like half of my shoe wasn’t on the ledge anymore, & that part of my weight seemed to be at the tip of my toes, so I resolutely didn’t budge anymore. XD Thankfully, the guy didn’t push me any further (he might as well just push me down then), & another thing I didn’t like (cos it panicked me) was that he COUNTED. Yes, the “Ok, jump when I count to 1” & the “5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 – JUMP!!!” T_T & he counted quite fast (although that may have been my imagination, but comparing that guy’s counting to my parents, it was definitely faster) =/

Later on, when I was telling my bro about it, he said I shouldn’t have listened to him, & that I should have jumped in my own timing, which reminded me of the many times my father scolded & reprimanded me for rushing into things like sports (eg. for tennis & table tennis, he keeps on telling me to take my time when serving). Of course, I felt stupid about that, but given the circumstances, I think it was quite excusable for me to do what I did. I mean, he seemed to have been more nervous than me, judging by what he did. ;-P

This is his vid HAHAHAHA:

I won’t go into details into how it felt like doing it, but all I can say is… it just didn’t feel the way I imagined it’d feel. Probably I glorified it a lot, & my imaginations were more about how it’d feel like to fall, whereas for the bungy, I dived (because that was what they asked us to do, & I didn’t think of doing what I wanted to do, because my mind was blank at that time T_T), so it felt like how a dive feels, but from 43m up, that’s all. ;-P

To be honest, I felt a bit like a meteorite, shooting downwards, & when I told my family, they all started laughing at me *sulks* So I didn’t want to blog about what I felt at first, but then, I changed my mind, cos at least I could sort of describe how I felt, whereas my bro said he couldn’t explain it (which is also normal, but he shouldn’t have made so much fun of me ;-P), & besides, even if you’ll laugh, I wouldn’t know, so it doesn’t bother me. Ignorance is bliss ;-)

Since I put the video there, I don’t really need to say what happens after you jump & all that, you can see it for yourself. At that time, I didn’t really know what would happen after I jumped though lol. Anyway, just to laugh about my bro, he said that he stopped the guy from counting, & did it in his own timing. I liked the way he put up his hand in the “stop” sign, cos it’s one of his characteristics, & because none of us did something like that hahahaha. Also, the part where he kept his hand stuck on the wood while inching forward was amusing ;-P Needless to say, I didn’t do that, neither did my sister. ^__^

Here’s another video XD of my parents doing tandem (oh, the power of love ;-P)

Did you notice my mum’s hand? Hahahaha like mother, like son XD & the special reason why I posted their vid is cos I found theirs the funnies bungy compared to the rest of us, & I <3>st place, poor thing, forced by my dad hahaha sorry if that sounded evil ^^;

Although I liked skydiving more than bungy, there aren’t any videos or pictures of it, sorry ;-( you see, the videos that I posted were what we bought, & they record it 1^st when you jump & after that sell it to you (you have the option of declining, of course). But for skydiving, you have to decide before you go there, whether you want a video or not, & while they videotape you, they’ll take pics of you at the same time. It was quite expensive, & just imagining a video of me made me feel a bit gross. I’m not sure what the rest of my family felt, but nobody wanted a video, so that’s that.

Skydiving was much more scary than bungy, & the plane was small, so it felt a bit cramped to sit inside (they only let 3 ppl do at a time, because the plane can have a maximum of 9 ppl, & each person would have a tandem instructor, & optional would be a cameraman for each person). So I was doing it with my siblings, & even though there was space for a few more ppl, it seemed as though we filled up all the space there was T_T

The plane went up very high in a short while, & it seemed no time at all when the plane sort of slowed down, & it was time to jump down. At that moment, I felt a bit in shock, & my bro went first, followed by me, then my sis. The tandem instructor seemed to be leading in everything, because I could hardly move much, she strapped me so tightly (the tandem instructors for my bro & sis were guys). You see, we’re supposed to go to the plane door, which was open already, & stick our feet out, & position ourselves like a banana with out knees bent & our head leaning backwards on the tandem instructor’s shoulder, & they’ll rock us back & forth a few times before getting off the plane. So what happened was, she rocked me back & forth a bit, & my head was pointing upwards, so when she got off the plane, my head slowly went back to its original position & I FELL. LOL ^__^;

You know that feeling you get when you sit on a roller coaster & it plunges straight down? I felt that, although my bro disagreed with me & said he felt different. The only difference it that the feeling lasted a longer time, & I couldn’t help realising that even though I didn’t like the feeling, I can’t stop it, I’m still falling ^^;

& although it was supposed to last much longer than bungy, it also felt very short T_T Then she parachuted, & when I felt the parachute come out, we slowed down, & sorta went upwards a bit, & the stupid straps were strangling me. I felt that I was quite unlucky about that, because it didn’t seem to happen with anyone else, & it proved after all, that she strapped me too tightly. But it’s better to be safe than sorry, I guess. Anyway, after the parachute, we were floating slowly downwards, & she started talking, so I replied a bit in a choked voice, & when she asked me how I was feeling, I said, “OK… I feel strangled though.” It took her a while to realise, but then she loosened the straps somehow, & I felt much better ;-)

While floating downwards, you’re supposed to enjoy the view & have a nice chat with your tandem instructor. I won’t talk about my experiences of that, but the view was very nice. Not that I didn’t have a nice chat with my tandem instructor haha XP no comment. Anyway, they spin you around while you’re in the parachute, & when I first heard about it, I got all excited cos it sounded very fun, but when she was spinning me, I didn’t realise it was the spinning that they were talking about until I landed already ^^; because they turn you 90 degrees to the left, so you’ll be looking at another direction, & she did that a few times. Some ppl get dizzy doing that, including my family, but I was fine yay XD

So that was about it, & I wrote A LOT today ^^; nvm, it can sort of make up for me not posting previously & in case I don’t post so fast in the near future.

If there’s anything you’re interested in, like a certain random topic about abstract stuff (you know, like ego, being sociable, stuff like that), tell me, & I’ll blog about it XD well, at least I hope I can, with whatever opinion I have (& if you value it in the first place). Cos I’d like to blog about random abstract topics (the reason why I made a blog actually).

Hopefully, if I don’t forget (again), the next post will be a tag that I didn’t do yet, but I still have to find the damn pics first, how tedious >_>

Btw, I forgot to mention that my birthday passed, so I’m not 18! XD actually, I wanted to drink alcohol & smoke, but I didn’t get to do that yet, & I’m not planning to smoke anyway, it’s too dangerous ;-P

Last thing about NZ I forgot to mention before: did you know that it’s nice to be a pedestrian there? XD well, sort of, I don’t know how many countries are like this, but in Malaysia, it’s not, so those who have that benefit should be grateful. You see, when crossing a zebra crossing there, the cars will really stop for you! & if it looks as though you wanna cross, they’ll also stop & wait for you to cross ^__^ whereas in Malaysia, if you do that, it’s the same as committing suicide lol ^^; so hopefully New Zealanders won’t do such a thing in Malaysia…

It’s late at night, so I shall go now. Besides, I’ve written too much already lol ^^;

The Zorb & the Luge

The things that I enjoyed most on the trip were the fun things that we did. You see, there were a few… activities that we did. XD But I’m leaving the best two activities for the next post, because I wrote quite a lot for this two activities, because it’s not such a common or well-known activity.

The Zorb is a bit like a fun roller coaster, & it’s in Rotorua (one of the places we went in NZ), & there seems to be only one place which offers this in NZ, & it’s nowhere near anything else. There was another well-known place that was the closest to the Zorb (as in, within walking distance), but in my opinion, that place was pretty much isolated. Makes me wonder how people would know about it, or even be able to go there, since it seems quite inaccessible. But it was awarded the best tourism award or something like that, so it must be good, I suppose. & probably cos the attractions are all somewhere further away from the residence areas, so it's normal, I guess.

The Zorb was a new experience. But it’s really hard to explain. Basically, you sit in this huge, transparent ball, & you roll down in it (because the place is beside a hill, so you roll all the way down the hill). So, there are three kinds of Zorb, but I don’t know what’s the third one, because it was not available because of the wind conditions, but the second one, which we thought was available for us actually couldn’t be applied in the same way because there’s a height limit. >_>; The height limit is five feet five, & I’m only five feet, so irritating. But it was also in a good way, cos then I had no choice but to choose the first one, which actually, I did spend time thinking about whether first or second is better, & I chose the first anyway, but after realizing that I couldn’t sit in the second one, I was a bit irritated after fretting so much over which Zorb may be better to make my decision.

The first one

The second one

I'm not sure about the 2nd pic, but the 1st pic is the exact place where we went, so I was quite happy to find that pic. ;-D

The main difference between the first & second one, is that the first one is wet, & the second one is dry. Also, the first one is cheaper, by $9. The second one, seems to have a chair-like thing in the ball (as you can see in the picture), for you to sit in, & you’ve to hold on to the things places for you at the top, so that’s supposedly why there’s a height limit, because short people like me shouldn’t be able to reach it. T_T; But all you do is sit in the chair anyway, & turn upside down forwards, so it really seemed just like a roller coaster.

Whereas the first one, seems like a new experience. You see, supposedly, they put soap water (I couldn’t feel it though, it seemed like normal water to me) in the ball & you’re going to be sliding & slipping around in the ball while you roll down the hill. The thing that was really fun was that (I didn’t know it at the time I chose it though) the way you go down the hill would be in a zigzag, whereas the second one is just straight down. Also, another thing that I only noticed when going in the ball, is that you can’t really see outside the ball, so when it went in a zigzag, I had no idea which way I’d be rolling, so it was very fun.

The only thing was that we are in winter, you know, so the only drawback of choosing the wet one is that it’ll be freezing cold after that. Well, true, but I guess it didn’t matter so much, although I have had horrible memories & experiences of getting wet when it’s cold, so that was mainly why I hesitated to choose it.

Next, the Luge.

Ok, this is kinda a random pic, but I felt it was the best from the google search because that's what the Luge we were using exactly looked like, altho you may not be able to see it clearly lol ^^; also, my feet reached the end of the Luge whereas for this guy his knees are bent! shows how short I am ^^;

Hmm, I feel that it is a bit hard to explain the Luge as well, but basically, it is a ride, where you drive downhill the tracks, & the way the Luge is built (the object we’re driving in) is that it doesn’t need any petrol or anything, because it’s downhill all the way, & the only thing you can control on the Luge is the direction (left & right), & with the handle, you pull it forwards or backwards to control the speed. If you pull it backwards, you’re using the brakes.

Unfortunately, when we did the Luge, it started raining. In NZ, it rains a lot (I think 8 out of 10 days, which a lot of ppl seem to accidentally forget to mention to migraters & tourists), but we knew it already, because my uncle who migrated there was complaining about it. But for us, it only rained when we doing the Luge, & it may have rained on one or two other days when we were there, but we probably weren’t really doing anything outside at the time, so it didn’t bother us.

So, after you do the Luge, you are right at the bottom of the hill, so you’ve to take the chair-lift (which is what I always knew it as, but they call it the “gondola” which to me, reminds me more of that long boat in Venice). That was the horrible part, because a chair-lift is always slow, & it was raining, & it was cold, so we were shivering when we went up the thing. But when doing the Luge, it didn’t seem to affect us so much, but obviously it wouldn’t, because it was really fun. There were a number of people there also doing the Luge, mainly guys (there was a big group of them), but they all seemed to be prepared for the rainy weather because they wore water-proof jackets & all that, whereas I was just wearing a long-sleeved shirt lol. It was a bit funny though, cos we did the luge a few times, & when going up the chair-lift one of those times, it suddenly stopped, & I was kinda shouting, “NOOOOO~!!!” & then after that “WTH!!!!!” hahahahaha ^^ Then it started again, after a while of waiting. Imagine if we got stuck there though, that would’ve been horrible.

Supposedly, while doing the Luge, it was quite dangerous, & my dad felt that the one in Singapore would have more safely protection, hence more expensive that way, but I didn’t feel it was that dangerous, unless of course, your brakes don’t work, which could happen, because some of the brakes are a bit faulty. You see, the tracks have a number of corners, to make it more fun obviously. But most of the corners are right at the edge, so it makes you feel that if you’re too fast, you’d not be able to turn the corner & you’ll drive off the edge, & I’m not sure where you’d fall after that, but I assume it’ll be one of the tracks lower down, but it also may not be. They do give warnings though, as in, before you reach the corner, there’ll be big letters forming the word “STOP” on the road before the corner, or even a signboard on top of your head saying “STOP”.

But, you see, because we went 3 times, the first time, was when my bro went first & I went second, so cos he was so slow, I overtook him out of frustration. The second time we went, because my dad was trying to challenge & race my bro, in the end, we decided to race together (although I was a bit reluctant at first, cos I was scared to lose). & he let me go first, saying that he’ll be able to overtake me anyway. He never did bwahahahaha lol ^__^ Then, when we were both downhill (cos we wait for everyone to come down before going up together), I was laughing at him because he didn’t even seem close to me at all. & he said that I was driving too fast, & that it was dangerous. It was true that I was a bit faster & reckless than the first time, because I was trying to be faster, & was in danger of overturning the Luge a bit, but actually, it wasn’t that fast in my opinion either, just that it was a bit hard for me to grip the handle, after a while, my hands start to hurt, but of course, you have to still keep a strong grip on the handle.

Anyway, that's all for today. ;-)

Winter holiday & culture

If it weren’t for the ppl who persistently & faithfully check my blog, I’d probably be more lazy, which is saying a lot, considering how little I’ve written lately ^^;

Sorry I didn’t post for a long time, there were a lotta things I wanted to say, but I wrote it in word, & so I didn’t post it ^^; didn’t write much tho, so I’m not really putting what I wrote last time here…

So, let me just write what happened in the past month… my exams are over already… again, I don’t wanna talk about it cos I feel quite bad about it, but even if I didn’t feel so terrible, there’s not much point in talking about what’s past. ^^;

But since my exams are over, there should be no excuse for me to delay blogging, right? Wrong. Cos I was busy preparing for a holiday in the same week after the exams to New Zealand with my family (exams ended on Monday, we left on Friday). Actually, it’s not that I packed last-minute or anything, it’s just… well, let’s just say I kinda like wasting time (or rather, I can’t help wasting time) in cases like putting songs in my mp3 player to bring there to listen & all that ^^;

So actually, I did mean to post a bit before going, but I didn’t manage to, so I felt kinda stupid after that ^^;

Hmm… so now the question is, would ppl want to listen about my trip to New Zealand? ^^; well, it doesn’t really matter, I guess, because I’m writing it anyway, but I won’t be writing much, so it shouldn’t bore anyone, whatever I say.

Those ppl who know me would probably know how bad I am at general knowledge, so when it comes to certain countries, I may not know much. Even now after going to New Zealand, I’m not sure how much I know, but hopefully my holiday there wasn’t entirely wasted because I didn’t forget everything that I learnt there.

The only Maori word that I can remember at the moment (because that is the most often used word) is kia ora (which to me sounds more like kiora), which means “hello”, “greetings” “take care” etc. & we went both North Island & South, but more of our days were spent in South Island, because that’s where the scenery is, in a way, you know, Lord Of The Rings & all that.

Also, whether in North or South Island, there were a lotta sheep, but much more in South Island, so one of the guides said that supposedly there’d be 10 sheep to a person, which shows just how many sheep are there. There was one fun part where we saw sheep shearing, & cow milking, but otherwise, the tour was educational, which is normal.

One thing I did realise near the end of the holiday, is that I feel that Asians are not so emotional (I already knew that, but I realised it more about myself also this time). You see, the ppl there would be friendly & express themselves with nicer & bigger words like, “Fabulous”, “Great”, “Amazing”, “Awesome”, “Wonderful”, “Lovely”, “Gorgeous” (especially for scenery) etc. Whereas for me, most of the time, I’ll say, “nice” or something like that. As in, most of the time, I’ll just say, “It was quite nice” (emphasis on the word “quite”). If I feel more strongly about it, I may substitute “quite” with “really” or if stronger, “very”, but that’s normally where I stop. I hardly use those words that I mentioned that sound so nice because I can’t really feel that it deserves that much praise, whatever it is, but then, if I thought so, that means that nothing is that great, which is kinda sad, isn’t it?

So, it’s basically just the standard by which the words are measured. For me, great & all those words would be a 9/10 to 10/10, but probably to them, even a 8/10 would do, which is equivalent to my “very nice” lol.

At this stage, it doesn’t matter so much in my opinion whether you use these words or not, but thinking about myself, I realised how hard it is for me to say certain things like “I love you” & “I’m sorry”. There are three of the hardest things to say in the world, but I forgot the third one. Oh, I remember, I think it was something like, “Will you help me?” Basically the third hardest thing to ask for is help, what with our pride & all that. It is hard for me to ask for help also, but I feel that it was mainly because I’d always remember my dad giving me that look & that tone of voice, saying, “What, simple thing also you don’t know??” & continue on from there.

Anyway, it would be nice to express our feelings more, is what I’m thinking, but I’m not trying very hard at the moment ^^; hopefully, other ppl realised it & not only me, so that they can do something about it, or at least try, because I think it’s sad that all the guys I know of (especially my father) can’t even say “I love you” or “I’m sorry”. I mean, I learnt to bear with it with my father, but all I’m saying is I wouldn’t want a husband like that, that’s all.

So, I’m going to stop here, because actually, to be honest, I wrote this a couple of days ago, but didn’t post it up yet cos I thought I’d post more about my trip, then I felt that it’d be better to post it in more than one post, that way, you won’t think that I’m lazy & all that (which is half-true, but not entirely true ^^;).

McCD

This is about an incident that happened 2 days ago, which I would consider really recent (since I normally don’t get around to writing about it so fast), but it’s just that I was quite happy about what happened, so I thought I’d write it. ;-)

I’ll try to keep it as short as possible, so we’ll see how short it is.

You see, what happened was that lately, McDonalds is having a lot of promotion, free coupons etc… so, my friend, who loves freebies (or rather, free food) told me about it, & we went to McD a lot of times because of that (it seems that I just realized that some of my friends now are the kind who actually pay attention of offers, promotions, coupons, unlike me ^^;).

So, the thing is, that there’s this challenge thing where you chant these 4 lines in 4 seconds to get a free big mac. Of course, you don’t just chant it, you have to buy a McValue meal before you can get an entry coupon to chant, but there’re ways to get an entry coupon without buying a McValue meal hehehe. XD

Anyway, these are the 4 lines:

Two all beef patties
Special sauce, lettuce
Cheese, pickles, onions
On a sesame seed bun!

You can try to see whether you can do it in 4 seconds, but cos I’m a pessimistic person, I thought it was impossible. My friend, however, seems to be good at speaking fast, so she could do it easily.

Anyway, we went there quite a number of times to go & chant & get free big macs, & at one of those times, I noticed a stack of cds (they looked like audio, but I don’t think they are, but it has songs inside) there, so we asked what it was for, & it seemed that they were consolation prizes, & cos I kinda like cds (I dunno why though), so I was thinking that I might as well try chanting it, & if I can’t, then I get the cd anyway.

The funny thing was, I actually managed to do it in 4 seconds! Lol~ ^^;
So I didn’t get the cd, which I couldn’t help but feel that I wanted the cd, or else I wouldn’t have tried to chant it, but I thought, never mind, I can always try to chant again & see whether I make it in 4 seconds.

But even though I tried again a few times after that, I didn’t get the cd, & I didn’t want to purposely lose, you see. But every time I came, I would sort of stare longingly at the stack ^^;

So, what happened was the woman who always timed us (I think she could recognize us cos we came nearly every day there for the past week, even if we didn’t chant it) saw that I wanted the cd, so then she actually said, “You can have it if you want.”

& I couldn’t believe what she was saying, cos she already told us last time that they were consolation, & so I had to lose to get that cd, so I said, “Really?” & she said yes. So, I was stuttering by that time, & trying to say that I thought that I needed to lose 1st before I could get it.

But she gave it to me anyway, & she said, “Well, you’re supposed to lose first to get the cd, but you can take it anyway.”

^__________^

She was so nice~ XD

So, that’s how I got a free cd in my hands, & all the while, I couldn’t help thinking about how nice she was to give me a free cd when I didn’t even do anything ^^

& I’d like to go on about how nice she is, but that’s silly right, so I’ll stop here ^^;

There isn’t much to say, because if I said more, I’ll be repeating myself, & I don’t wanna do that.

But she IS nice~ XP

I was really touched, happy & grateful after that, so I wanted to blog about it because you don’t meet many ppl like that these days.

But then again, maybe I was fooled (in a way) because maybe she was just like a salesman who gives you a small gift when you actually already paid a lot before that. T_T; because after thinking about it, she’s not really losing anything, because we won so many big macs before this, which we could have lost, so think how many cds she would’ve been giving us then.

But even if she wasn’t naturally nice, she’s still not so bad, because it was not necessary to give me the cd, but maybe she’s quite a PR person, I dunno.

Anyway, I’ve finished blogging, & I should be studying now, since I really feel like I’m gonna fail law. O_O;

It’s so stupid, how can anyone remember so friggin much?!? T_T; it just goes on & on & on, & it’s hard to write & answer the stupid question~ ;-(

That’s why I think it’s obvious I still haven’t grown up yet, but I don’t see how I can suddenly grow up, but maybe I must just answer law questions every day & try to write as much as possible without actually writing crap. ^^;

Sorry to end it like this, I shouldn’t be complaining about my problems, so I’ll really stop here. ;-)

See ya next time! ^__^

PS: is the post short? XP

Rant

hi, I'm late, again ^^; as in, I meant to post earlier, but kept on delaying, & no, I'm not doing the tag today, but I still wanted to show my sort-of enthusiasm or liking in blogging, so here I am. You see, the tag needs pictures, & well, I still don't have them atm, & so I'm slowly trying to collect those stupid pictures, but I really want nice pictures! & they're not easy to get, based on my standards (lol ;-P), so if I'm really fed up, I'll just post the pics, & state that it's not as nice as it could be ^^;

Today's topic may be a bit boring though... after all, it's a rant (which, to be honest, I still don't really know what it mean, so I hope my interpretation of the word is correct).

Basically, what I'm gonna do is talk about my problems atm, but more in a complaining way. ^^; Normally, I don't like to do this, but I have felt stressed lately, & I thought I'd post this (actually, I was so frustrated that I really wanted to vent my frustration by writing all my feelings out, but I was so slow in actually getting to the writing that my urge to do it went away, but what the heck, I'm still writing it ;-P probably with less feeling than I wanted though, but at least my head is clear).

So if you're not interested in reading someone else complaining about their own life, then it's better that you don't read this.

Well, let me rant about the normal, or rather, more common thing first. My internal exam. Anyway, to be honest, what I didn't really tell anybody was how horrible I felt after my exam. >_<; Seriously, usually I'm not the kind of person who'd be affected by exams, or rather, my own performance in the exam because my principle is "what's past is past. no point crying over spilt milk." Which I do, actually, just not over spilt milk, but you get my point lol. Anyway, yeah, I felt really horrible, but it was super hard to tell anybody about it, because I'm so used to seeing other ppl moan about how badly they did, & I'd usually be listening to it, so after all that, I really didn't want to be one of the "moaning ppl" ^^;. But I really wanted to moan at that time, so I felt quite pathetic & worthless.

Also, another big reason why I didn't want to moan, which is also why I don't want to be one of the moaning ppl, & which also relates to my principle, is really because there is no point in repeating yourself about the same old thing, but that shows how strong our feelings are, I guess. Which is why, I realise, humans tend to repeat themselves. Most of the humans anyway, that I meet. Even I do it, & so I realise that I actually like to repeat saying certain things, but these are usually happy things, or funny things. Other ppl may repeat different things. I wouldnt' mind giving examples, but there are too many examples, so I feel it's better if you actually think about it yourself & see whether ppl actually do that, unless you know about it already, then congratulatons! I'm proud of you~ ^__^

The main thing that I wanted to rant about though, is the less normal thing, or rather, a problem not many people should be experiencing (at least, not the ppl I know) but it's a trivial matter, which is why I never really bothered to mention it. Anyway, I don't tell many ppl about this, but I always seem to have around 50GB on the com. yup, seriously, it's 50 friggin' GB!!! If you dare say it's not a big deal, I will try my best to put all the stuff on your com & see whether your com lasts with all that space of stuff. T_T; I mean, I normally can't help wondering where it all comes from. Then, after checking, I'll be thinking, "Oh, rite, this 10GB is from here, that 15GB is from there," & it kinda adds up. But I've been burning & burning & still it's around there. Obviously, I download too much but I really don't wanna stop downloading. Maybe I'm not so good at compiling stuff to burn, which shows just how obsessive-compulsive I am, because I like things to be as perfect as possible, which most of the time they're not, but it's not totally imperfect. I do sort of plan what I want to burn when I download it. There just seem to be a lot of potential stuff that I want to burn, but they're just incomplete, which is actually my problem, I think.

Anyway, the latest thing that happened, which may be amusing, is that I realised I had 50GB (again) on my com, so I decided to burn, & I saw 2 potential dvds I could burn (it's like, "What, only 2?!?" lol). So, I started actually d/ling to burn those 2 dvds, & guess what? When I finally burned it, & checked the folder I have, it was 49GB... I was like, "WTH?!?!?" So I was trying to figure out why 2 dvds, which shld be 7-8GB burned off (& deleted obviously from the com) result in only 1 GB or so difference from before I burned. Then, I realised that I downloaded so much during the past week (including the stuff that I burned) that it actually came up to that amt, & I was kinda back to where I started. Well, not really, cos if you think about it, I have more than previously, with what I downloaded, but back to where I started in the sense that I made no progress in trying to clear space on the com.

Actually, I think that I wouldn't care so much about all that space if my dad wasn't nagging me about it, but he doesn't always nag me about it, & yet it feels like a problem for me because of the fact that he does nag, & it's still often enough to make me feel that our computer is in danger, or being slow, or lagging, just because of all my stuff. So, it may be a good thing that he's nagging me, because then I'll do sth about it (or at least try to), but I feel so stupid at times to get stressed or feel pressured about these kinda things >_>

Anyway, before I start repeating myself, & ranting some more, I thought I'd end it here, because although I'd like to moan & complain more (I got in the mood again haha), it's just that I can't help feeling it's boring (to read), & I still don't like the fact that I'm moaning, although at least I finally did it, & it's in writing! XD so that's my evidence that I grumbled lol ^^

Besides, I think I wrote a lot, but I am long-winded, so maybe that's why I delay so much at blogging, cos I knew I can't help going on & on ^^;

So, anyway, I thought I'd end with a pic, but it's not a great pic, just more of evidence haha.

As you can see, it's less than 50GB by a bit, but that's because I burned another dvd after that & also 3 cds at least, so it should be less than 50, but... still not much difference. ^^;

Btw, the things I wanted to write more about, were actually the details of where all that 50GB came from, but I thought that would be also quite boring, & it would take more effort on my part, because I'd be putting more pics here ^^;

But seriously, when I was thinking about all the stuff I burned, I can't help thinking that I burned at least 50 GB over the past year, which shows just how much I have downloaded since last year when I got the unlimited connection. O_O

I'll just say this, though, although I know I shouldn't, but it'll make me happy, so please don't mind me. My gay comics, which I started downloading since last year, are around 20GB! XD XD & still more to come~ (btw, the 20GB is not included in the 50GB, cos I burned at least 12GB & deleted it already, so 20GB is like the total of all that I have) ^__^ & I found out that someone else has 32GB of gay comics, so I was thinking, "Haha, I've still got a long way to go lol" XP

& now I'm tired, so I'll go to sleep~ *__*

PS: If you noticed, I did repeat myself in a way, as in, one of the things about me is that I tend to overuse a number of words, & I am predictable in that way (close friends who hang out with me all the time normally notice this, you see, & tease me about it). So, you may have spotted it, which I wouldn't be surprised, but if you didn't, then that makes me happy, but see whether you can or not! XP

Apology T_T

hi... sorry to all the ppl who checked my blog, cos I didn't blog since last year >_>;

well, if you knew me well enough, you'd know that I am this kinda person, procrastinator, lazy etc... I mean, my excuses for not blogging was bcos once my classes started, I didn't have time, which is half true, but obviously not true enough, bcos it's just that I don't have extra time to blog, after cutting out the time I need to spend in my studies & the time that I want to spend enjoying myself ^^;

cos I like blogging, but it always tires me out, you see, so that's why I haven't been blogging for so long... but I still think about it, isn't that dumb? ^^;

for eg, these were the things I wanted to blog about:

1. New Year's resolutions
2. my trip in Japan XD
3. any other random stuff

yeah, that's pretty much about it, as no. 3 sums it all up for me ;-)

but anyway, the reason why I dared come back to blog (even though I have another test next week), is bcos Karyn tagged me ^__^ I mean, I don't mind being tagged, especially since the tag is something that I'll definitely be better in doing than her hehehehe XP

so, my next post will be about the tag, & I'm still wondering whether I'm gonna do it this week, or after my tests, but that depends on my mood lol ^^; anyway, this post is short & nice (for me ;-P), whereas the tag will definitely be longer & have at least 10 pics (which I need to think about 1st before posting), so it may not be this week, depending on how slow I am T_T; (yes, I am slow, unfortunately)...

but it feels great to blog again! ^^ there's so many things that I wanna say sometimes, but it just slips my mind so easily... & I'd like to be funny in my blog, but I'm not sure whether I can do that, but I'll try my best... ;-)

once again, thanks to all who still checked on my blog, you guys are awesome! XD

& here's sth funny (some ppl may know about it, but if you don't, you must not miss it! ;-D) that I showed to some ppl but not to everybody, & since this is my 1st time doing this, it's obviously worth it ;-P



it's a youtube vid (obviously), & it was recommended, & normally I don't see youtube vids, but I saw this, & I'm glad I did ^__^ so enjoy~ ;-)
