... or at least, one of the ways.
1. Must have some sort of noisy presence (which is either irritating or distracting or disturbing).
2. The noise lasts for quite a while (could be pretty long), prompting you to ignore the noise by listening to your ipod/mp3 player.
3. Blast your ears off trying to shut off the background noise, even if it gives you a headache cos it's so hard for the music to actually be louder than the noise.
4. 1-3 repeats, & after a certain amount of repetition, the level of deafness would continue to half-deaf, & finally fully deaf.
Indicators of deafness increasing: If you were listening at xx volume & you felt it was loud, & the next time you listened at the same volume it didn't feel loud enough, you're well on your way.
I think getting deaf is hardly a choice for me, because of all the noise around me T____T

That day in the showers
I've wanted to write about this, but I keep on changing my mind lol cos it doesn't feel like such a good thing, to write about oneself in the showers ^^; but I figured that it'd be fine, cos it's not like "oh, I showered, & I put this kinda shampoo, & that kinda soap, & I'm all clean & fuzzy now!" T___T
no, it's more like what happened at that time o_O;;
hahaha anyway, it'll be short, I promise ;-)
you see, the thing about Malaysia is that its season never changes ;-( which means that it's hot & humid all year around, & depending where you live, it either rains a lot, or rains less, it rains a lot at most places (as in, it has its rainy seasons).
so the thing about rainy weather is you tend to get a lot of insects & other creatures breeding because of the weather & the water
do you see where I'm heading? ;-P
well, for the bathroom in my house, although I've gotten sorta used to the insects that are in the bathtub, but thinking about it, it's just weird & I seriously wonder where they come from & why did they only appear later on in my life (it's not like the appeared since we bought the house, it was quite a number of years after that). But there could be lots of reasons for that.
Anyway, that's not the point, but all I'll say is, for some reason, occasionally there are cockroaches (which I'm scared of & I hate), & centipedes (HUGE ones, I'm not kidding >_>). The centipedes are the weird insects rather than cockroaches (cos cockroaches seem to be everywhere, not only the bathroom), & seriously, I get freaked out everytime I see one because it's like a surprise attack on me (I wear glasses, but obviously not when I bathe, so I'm pretty blind without them, so how am I supposed to see the bloody centipedes?!?!?!? not until they're too close for my liking T_T)
I still haven't wrote about that day wth?? Sorry, so what happened is that on that day, it was a bit weird, but not as bad as cockroaches & centipedes at least, so it was juz very irritating & annoying instead.
I was attacked by mosquitoes lol
Ok, that's not what happened exactly, but there were a LOT of mosquitoes in the bathroom that day. I have no idea why. The only possible reason that I thought of was that it may have been because of the rainy weather (still just an excuse tho).
So I spent a longer time in the bathroom that day, mainly killing mosquitoes & hardly focusing on bathing. I think I killed more than 20 that day lol seriously, I'm not kidding. The easiest way to kill mosquitoes is to wait for those stupid insects to hover/fly at a certain distance from the wall before you hit them XD
It was fun but tiring hahahaha hope this didn't freak/creep anyone out ;-P

Paranoia
My classes started this week ;-(
The 1st week is always easier, & yet harder at the same time for me. Easier because the pace of the lessons is still compared to the future lessons, & harder because my brain is a bit sluggish after the holidays, & still not geared in study mode yet ^^;
I normally go to college around 7.20am because my classes start at 8. So I'd wake up much earlier because I don't like being sleepy in class, & I can be properly awake before I go to college. So I'd wake up around 6 something. That's how much time I take to wake up lol
Yesterday, I woke up in a very blurred state. Which is actually normal for me, & I was still half-asleep in my dream. & I kept tossing & turning in a very sleepy way, but in the back of my mind I was thinking, I must get up soon or else I'd oversleep (my normal thought process to get out of bed).
I managed to stumble out of bed (also normal) & headed to the toilet. On my way, I suddenly realised how dark it was around the house. To be more specific, I took notice of the fact that there was no light downstairs. This may not be of significance to other people, but to me it was, even in my sleepy state.
You see, at 6 something, my mum would have already left for work, & the light would be on downstairs. So, although it could be that my mum wasn't working, or that she forgot to switch on the light, but I had a nasty suspicion that it's not even 6 something (all this I was thinking through very slowly in my head. If you were there, you'd probably see my brain slowly moving)
So I looked at my handphone. & it was 2am =__= & I went to bed at 11 something, so it's funny that I actually thought I slept enough for the night
So I went back to sleep haha
The thing is, this wasn't the first time I experienced this. In my school days, I experienced it once too, & after that, I'd always check the time after I woke up before I actually got out of bed (I still do), but of course, we're all human, so at times I forget.
But I realised I was strange in this aspect, because I tend to wake up earlier before the alarm rings after a while of waking up at the same time every day. Like my dad actually. He wakes up around the same time every morning too. So I still think it's partly caused by my genes.
The other part is that I can't seem to stand being waken up, so much that I wake up before the time I'm supposed to wake up. At first, it was my dad waking me up, & I thought it was because of that, but when I started using an alarm clock (& now, my handphone alarm), I realised that it was the same thing, & I do sorta hate the alarm clock waking me up. But I don't mind my handphone alarm so much (cos I can play a nice song to wake me up). So I came to the conclusion that I just can't stand being woken up so much that I wake up earlier myself, voluntarily (in a way).
& occasionally for me, I wake up a few times in one night, thinking it's time to wake up, & realising that it's still too early. I think it's because I'm somehow paranoid that I'd oversleep, although I actually only overslept once in my entire life, & that was in Form 3, & my dad overslept too, so that's why he didn't wake me up. Talk about coincidences.
That's all I wanted to say. Feels kinda abrupt, but I'm not good at ending what I say, & probably that's also why I keep going on & on sometimes lol

The importance of cars. & its players ;-P
This time I guarantee it'll be short lol. & why is that? Because it's about me, & I don't like going into lengthy details about myself (& there's not much to say about myself too ^^;). Just the summary (hopefully) is enough.
I seem to remember mentioning in my earlier posts that I'm able to drive now. Did I mention that I love it? ^__^ Well, maybe not love, but I do generally like driving (I feel a sense of deja vu, so I think I mentioned it, unless it wasn't in my blog somehow haha).
So, due to certain circumstances, I'm now able to have my own car. Yay! XD Before that, I was sharing my car with my brother, which I was fine with too, since I could use the car whenever I wanted & my brother didn't mind. He's so nice (most of the time, or at least, in certain aspects like this) ;-)
I'm lazy to explain the circumstances itself, but what happened was my dad gave me the choice to choose which car I wanted (the existing cars). But it was actually me choosing to use either my brother's car or my father's car. If I chose my brother's car, my brother will be using my father's car, & vice versa. So guess which I picked? XP
...
...
I picked my dad's car! Heh XD Did you guess right? ;-P
I had my reasons for choosing it, of course. To be honest, I'm more comfortable (& more careless ^^;) with my brother's car. The obvious difference between the both of them is their size. Let me just make it easier to understand by saying what cars they were. My dad's car is a Toyota Camry. My bro's car is a Hyundai Accent.
If the difference in size is not obvious, then all I can say is that the Camry is a bit wider, the Hyundai is like a normal long car to me (not that long, but average, not short, at least). The width matters more, I think, & I get nervous occasionally cos I feel like I'll scrape the side (& my dad admitted that he scraped the side a few times too, so he was warning me to be careful).
The main reason why I chose the Camry is because:
Camry has an mp3 CD player!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hyundai has an audio CD player ;-( So before this, when I was sharing the car with my brother, I begged my dad to let me buy a mp3 FM modulator (which satisfied me, because at least I can listen to my fav mp3), but I prefer an mp3 CD player. That's all. Actually, that's the only reason why I was so determined to use the Camry, no matter what. I believe that a person could get used to driving the car, so it's only a matter of time.
When I think about it, I feel that I'm quite different from most people. You can even call me weird lol but it just shows what my priorities are, in a way. But it's also always been a dream of mine ever since I started burning mp3 CDs, to play my own songs in my own car, & nobody commenting on how lousy the songs are.
I sorta have another reason for choosing the Camry, but it's a secret ;-P & it's a very small reason, hardly affecting my decision, so it shouldn't be counted anyway ;-D & now I've tired myself out from writing 2 blog posts in a day, so I'll stop now.
I'm not feeling very happy atm, & I was wondering y, & I think it's because I'm doing what I felt I should do (which I really should do), not exactly what I want to do, so I'm kinda stuck at a trivial problem. But no matter, hopefully I manage to finish faster the stuff that I should do first ^^;

Coraline
I watched Coraline already XD
as you can see from the pic, it's actually a book by Neil Gaiman, but it's been made into a cartoon.
I don't normally watch new shows. As in, normally I see new shows at least 6 months after they've been released, but there were some that I watched that were relatively new. A few I've blogged about, but most of the time I don't bother, cos I do see a lot of movies, or at least, that's how it feels to me ^^;
But I really liked Coraline. & I'm having hols now, so I have time. & I'm also practicing not to write so long lol short & sweet is what I'm trying to accomplish ;-) Coraline feels like a typical story to me, but maybe I've read too many of these kinda stories lol
I like reading books (for the benefit of those who don't know that). It's just that I'm lazy, & I prefer comics over books, although 4 years ago I'd have chosen a book any day over comics. But the thing about seeing a movie/cartoon based on a book is that it makes you feel like reading the book. Only if you like the show, of course, or maybe it's just people like me, who are inclined to having an obsessive personality. Therefore, if we like something, we try to find out more about it, & it's easier if you know it's based on a book cos you can compare the details between the show & the book.
So I've always respected Neil Gaiman, even though I've never actually taken the time to read his books, but I know which books he wrote, & I'd read them if I could (the thing is, nowadays I've become more narrow-minded, & I only want to read certain kinds of books *coughpurelovestoriescough*), but I'm satisfied just listening to the storyline of his books because they're really interesting.
I hate spoilers, so I'd hate to give spoilers also, so although I really, really want to talk about Coraline, I'm not going to talk as much as I want to, but I figured, telling part of the summary of the story (at least, what I've seen from the cartoon, since I didn't read the book) wouldn't hurt. But for those who don't even want to know what Coraline is about shouldn't read it. You have been warned.
Basically, it's about this girl called Coraline (not Caroline, Coraline). & she has just moved with her parents to a new neighbourhood, although the house seems to be at least 150 years old & belonged to her grandmother, I think. So, as expected, she's not exactly happy. & being a kid (I'm not sure how old, & at times like these, age does matter in a show), she's easily bored. Her parents work at home, so of course they get tense & stressed up & have no time to entertain their own child (she has no siblings). So she explores around the house, meets her old & eccentric neighbours, & is irritated by a boy from the neighbourhood. So what else is new?
As it is in stories about old houses, it's a bit different, & what happened was, there was this door that was bricked up, but at night she woke up, disturbed by mice, & she followed the mice, & they went past the door, & surprisingly, it wasn't bricked up! So like any inquisitive child, she went inside, & followed the path, & she wound up in... exactly the same place as where she came from O_o;
& it was the exact same house, except that one portrait in the house was a little bit different (minor detail, something different about his eyes), so she didn't really bother. & she heard her mom's voice, calling her name, so she headed to that direction, & her mother's back was faced towards her, & when her mother turned around, it was obvious that she was her mother, if she didn't have buttons for eyes! That was a bit weird hahahaha gave Coraline a shock too, & she asked who she was, & the person replied that she was the other mother, & the other mother asked Caroline to call her other father for dinner.
To cut a long story short (not that long actually, it's just me being long-winded ^^;), she had dinner with them (probably couldn't resist the smell & taste of it, since she was hungry, & her real parent's cooking was very unsatisfactory), & after dinner, she fell asleep (with her other mother tucking her into bed), & when she woke up, she was back in her own room, not the other room which she slept in (the bedroom was different).
& there was proof that it wasn't a dream, but I won't go into detail. The thing is, although she did feel a bit uneasy on the first night, because her parents wouldn't believe her (obviously), she wanted (& managed) to go back to the other house the following night. & she was treated very well by her other parents, which made her compare her other parents which her real parents (naturally).
So what I was thinking was, I wonder who (because I could see it coming) would choose to live with their other parents? If it was a dream, at least she'd have really good, happy dreams every night, but if it was real, then it'd either be a dream come true. Or not. Because I felt cynical & suspicious about them being so nice. Maybe it's because the background music played was purposely composed to be a bit strange (not exactly what you'd call a happy tune). Or maybe it was because I felt that the other parents would have ulterior motives. Or maybe it's because I saw too many Twilight Zone episodes lol (I like Twilight Zone ^__^ & Rod Serling!! XD haha lol)
Anyway, although I didn't exactly expect this, but there was a catch in the story later on. She was given a choice to stay with her other parents, but at a price. The thing is, is the price worth it? Of course, because this is a children story, or even if not, it's those kind of story which must go a certain path, so she didn't stay with her other parents. But it just made me wonder how many people would choose the other parents (even if there is a supposedly small price to pay for it). & those thoughts kept on bugging me throughout the night.
If you're wondering why I was a bit affected by such a show, it's because I felt that I'd probably choose my other parents (& pay the price for it). & if it wasn't such a typical story, it wouldn't be so bad staying with my other parents either, just that you have to get used to them because I'm very sure they won't be perfect (or like they were when you first met them).
But I think I'll stop here, cos I wrote too much as usual, & this time I didn't manage to keep it short, but that's because it's hard to talk about the issue itself (the other parents thing) without mentioning the story. Anyway, I'd be happy if you thought a bit about this too ;-) But maybe in real life, people would either choose their real parents or their other parents, 50% each. But I doubt that, which is why I'm still wondering whether more people would choose the former or the latter.
PS: oh, & I'm someone who likes listening to OSTs, so I already downloaded this OST XD very nice, reminded me of Nightmare Before Christmas OST & also Alice (the game) OST, & I wanted to share this particular very short song. It's what the other father sang to her, I found it sweet ^__^
Other Father song
it's available for download, but you don't have to, you can listen there, but it's only about 2MB anyway, not hard to download at all, but only if you like it ;-) too short for me though ;-( but still sweet ^__^

Things in common
You know, it's kinda funny, but I sorta remembered one of the things I wanted to blog about this morning. Or maybe it was just a dream, & not really something that I wanted to blog about (cos I was still half-asleep at that time), but I figured that it's ok to write something like this anyway. I'll try to keep it short lol.
One of the things that have always intrigued me in life is how some people are able to get along so well even though they have nothing in common.
That's what I wanted to talk about today.
A good example is my parents lol My dad is a doctor, my mum is a lawyer. One is doing science, the other arts. My mum would always say that she never understood science. My dad is (basically) good at everything, so I'm not gonna mention anymore about that. The bad thing about being good at everything is that you tend to get impatient easily, & have less sympathy for the slower & (no offense) stupider people around. Not that my mum is stupid or slow, but my point is, they really do feel like polar opposites. But as they say, opposites attract. & they do have things in common, but to me, it can be counted by hand.
Actually, rather than talking about couples with nothing in common, I wanted to talk about friends with nothing in common, cos that's actually quite common too haha. Hmm more like whether friends or lovers, as long as their personalities don't really clash, then it's fine even if they have nothing in common. But for lovers it's always harder, esp when you get married & live with them for the rest of your life, 24/7. But that just makes me think of family. & you're born in a family. You don't choose your family, unlike a spouse. So it's not uncommon to have clashing personalities or nothing in common between your family members. But we still live together (most of us, there are some who can't stand it & get out of the house asap tho). & even though I fight with my family members, I'm used to them, & obviously I love them, so why can't I love other people even though we're not family? Am I making sense here lol I got sidetracked again ^^;
Ok, so friends with nothing in common. I don't have many friends (sad rite), but my few friends are close friends, & I'm quite content with that, since I'm not particularly interested in what my friends call the "hi-bye" friends. So since I was young, most of my friends didn't have much in common with me, except for those kinda things like school & class, which is why we were able to spend that time together to get to know each other & develop our friendship. But once we changed class, school, that friendship sorta got distant. Which is normal, even if it's a bit sad. & it doesn't mean that we would've maintained our relationship even if we had lots in common because it'd be hard to keep in touch.
I guess I juz wanted people to think about this, although if you'd rather not, then don't, I can already imagine my father saying something like, "Why are you thinking about these kinda things? Nothing else better to do?" lol it really does seem like that, but of course I've got better things to do, this is juz another "food for thought" kinda topic, to me. And actually, what I REALLY wanted to say is, I never expected anyone to have much in common with me. But when you really meet someone who has a lot in common with you, it's a very wonderful feeling.
Which is why it seems easier to make friends online. & I do have a few friends online (very few), & obviously it's because of something we have in common. Mainly our interests XD So that's another nice feeling too, looking for someone who shares the same interests. But I don't do that anymore, cos I got tired of trying to make friends just for that purpose. But of course, I don't turn anyone away, I juz don't make the effort for the first move.
Anyway, that's about it. If not, I'd go on & on & on. & I still didn't really say what I wanted (I did, but was that really what I wanted to say? ^^;) As in, I really do feel happy with my close friend, but before that, I was happy too, even if my friend didn't share anything in common with me. I guess it's the feeling of company that I love, which most people love. Love XD <3 alright, I think I may be sounding a bit loony, so I'll go now ;-)

Hmm more like whether friends or lovers, as long as their personalities don't really clash, then it's fine even if they have nothing in common. But for lovers it's always harder, esp when you get married & live with them for the rest of your life, 24/7. But that just makes me think of family. & you're born in a family. You don't choose your family, unlike a spouse. So it's not uncommon to have clashing personalities or nothing in common between your family members. But we still live together (most of us, there are some who can't stand it & get out of the house asap tho). & even though I fight with my family members, I'm used to them, & obviously I love them, so why can't I love other people even though we're not family? Am I making sense here lol I got sidetracked again ^^;
Ok, so friends with nothing in common. I don't have many friends (sad rite), but my few friends are close friends, & I'm quite content with that, since I'm not particularly interested in what my friends call the "hi-bye" friends. So since I was young, most of my friends didn't have much in common with me, except for those kinda things like school & class, which is why we were able to spend that time together to get to know each other & develop our friendship. But once we changed class, school, that friendship sorta got distant. Which is normal, even if it's a bit sad. & it doesn't mean that we would've maintained our relationship even if we had lots in common because it'd be hard to keep in touch.
I guess I juz wanted people to think about this, although if you'd rather not, then don't, I can already imagine my father saying something like, "Why are you thinking about these kinda things? Nothing else better to do?" lol it really does seem like that, but of course I've got better things to do, this is juz another "food for thought" kinda topic, to me. And actually, what I REALLY wanted to say is, I never expected anyone to have much in common with me. But when you really meet someone who has a lot in common with you, it's a very wonderful feeling.
Which is why it seems easier to make friends online. & I do have a few friends online (very few), & obviously it's because of something we have in common. Mainly our interests XD So that's another nice feeling too, looking for someone who shares the same interests. But I don't do that anymore, cos I got tired of trying to make friends just for that purpose. But of course, I don't turn anyone away, I juz don't make the effort for the first move.
Anyway, that's about it. If not, I'd go on & on & on. & I still didn't really say what I wanted (I did, but was that really what I wanted to say? ^^;) As in, I really do feel happy with my close friend, but before that, I was happy too, even if my friend didn't share anything in common with me. I guess it's the feeling of company that I love, which most people love. Love XD <3 alright, I think I may be sounding a bit loony, so I'll go now ;-)

Movie characters (2008)
I've wanted to post this ever since Twilight came out. It's been more than 6 months lol it's not like all the things I plan to do are procrastinated that long tho ^^;
But this post will be short, cos I juz wanted to mention who I liked & why I liked them. Cos I just wanted to talk about my fascination for guys with long hair (with the exception of carlisle). ;-P
hmm I was gonna say at first that I dunno why I like guys with long hair (it's just a preference), & of course if they looked horrible with long hair, I wouldn't like it either. But I think I was influenced by someone a bit lol (as in, someone put the idea into my head that guys with long hair are so nice), & I started agreeing with her later on XD
anyway, since I mentioned carlisle, I'll start with him 1st:
altho I really wanted to blog about this, I started having second thoughts when I saw the pics ^^; but then again, I normally feel that way because everyone's perception is different, & showing these pics may have thrown them in a different light. The question that I'm wondering is whether it was in a good or bad light lol but never mind, I looked at the pics, & I selected which ones I thought looked best. That's the most I can do haih
PS: I really wanted to blog more, cos my exams just finished, but I forgot what I wanted to blog about, except this post wth what is wrong with my memory?!? oh well ;-)

from Twilight, acted by Peter Facinelli
This wallpaper has the most pics of him ^__^ anyway, when I first saw him, I really liked him, but that's probably because of his character, since he (the character) is a really, really, REALLY nice guy (or so it may seem lol). But I'm the kind of girl who tends to like the bad guy or the villain more (like the joker, but that's cos of heath ledger ;-P), so it's not often that I fall for a nice guy, but it's nice ;-D
anyway, the next 2 are the villains lol
anyway, the next 2 are the villains lol
from Harry Potter, acted by Jason Issacs
this was the best pic I could find ^^; I only started liking him later on, I think it's the hair lol & the way he acts too probably, very smooth XD even from the pic, if you don't look so closely at the face, it's his style of dressing that I like too, & his ring wth hahaha yeah, I'm weird... oh, & rather than saying just long hair, I love it when their long hair is that ash blond colour, or even blond, or a fair colour lol but black is fine too ;-D
from Hellboy 2 (it's on the pic), acted by Luke Goss
hehe this is probably the craziest of all (as in, to like this character), but I realised that I'm not the only one or else I wouldn't have been able to get this pic XD anyway, I immediately liked him from the trailer lol & I felt a bit sad for him (the character) after seeing the show... or maybe it was pity, but that's because he was another of those misunderstood kinda villains, the kind where he could've been a good guy, but in the circumstances, he happens to be the bad guy... lots more villains like that that I like, but I doubt they have long hair, let alone blondish lol
most people I were with when I was exclaming that I like this character all gave me a certain kind of look, as well as their opinion that he's ugly haih I can't help disagreeing, because it's just the way his face looks with all that makeup effect, you know, to show as though his face has lines or cracks on it... I see his potential lol wtf

oh, & another person I just remembered was orlando bloom (legolas) in Lord of the Rings. He was probably the 1st long haired character that I like (& ash blond XD) but I also liked him only after a while. Actually, now that I think about it, I was influenced again! lol wth someone liked orlando bloom, & I thought he wasn't bad in Lord of the Rings, then somehow I started liking him because of that ^^; oh well, no harm in liking people, I guess. ;-P
