When my little sister came into the room at 9pm, my twin and I noted that she was still in her school uniform.
She had not gone for her daily shower.
My twin was absolutely nit-picky about that. The surrogate mother of the house ordered the little grasshopper to make a move.
The little grasshopper continued to watch me play my MMORPG.
So, Twin came to me and she decided that we two should take up our duties as Elder Sisters to full responsibility - and get her to the bathroom.

My holidays have started on a sad note - I have been returning to school because certain classmates need to hand in work to me, and get 'tuition' on their assignments that were due just today. And tomorrow, I'm called back regarding the US West Coast trip.
And to think I was all prepped up for some relaxation after the hectic school term. For once, a late morning instead of waking at the crack of dawn, and maybe more time to practise for upcoming music-events or dig back into my hobbies...
... would be one of the most cruel jokes to play.
Description - one of the most important tools to the writer, and one of the toughest to wield. This is where your style is defined, whether you sit with simple writing, or immerse yourself with steepled, yet brief poems.
I realised that, while writing the next chapters to my fictions, that description was starting to elude me. It was nastily playing tricks with me.
So I stepped back and contemplated.
It's easy to use description whe
The holidays have come upon me, during the time when others are still at work and school.
Oooh, how much fun you can poke others with this bit of news.
Ignoring that, I've purposely set myself a few targets and a few more activities to do during this break. As all our lecturers mentioned and repeated over and over again, this was the LAST time we're going to have a good break during our academic stay with the education institute.
The next holiday will be no holiday - it will be work, wo
This is going to be patriotic, but it's necessary, IMO.
At least two centuries ago, a small island in the South China Sea was found.
Fast forward to the twentieth century, and the island has grown. It gained independence, like how the United States of America had the Declaration of Independence signed and recognised.
Fast forward 42 years from its independence, and you'd find that Singapore is thriving as a successful world hub in the year 2007.
So, what I really mean to say is:
I'm never, ever, going on stage with sweaty palms again.
I think that was one of the excuses I could bring up to explain why 'Eternity' was not played at its best. What most musicians (not the professional, MusicIndustry-based ones that we all know, like Linkin Park, Norah Jones, and whathaveyou) say was true: In practice you're perfect, but that doesn't count on performance day.
But that did not apply to ALL the groups. There were some that were flawless, some that were mostly flawless,
Yes, there's a webpage talking about database problems instead of the epic threads.
Oh no - will BZPower go down for another site maintainence?
I'll have nothing else to do if that happens... well.... I discount school from this topic, but no other places on the Net to really sink my teeth into - other than my RPG.
Oh yes, my RPG.
Should I show a screenshot? A few?
This is one of the latest, maybe the newest, RPGs that a local telecommunications company bought regional license
To cut the long story short, someone found my wallet, and I'll get it back - hopefully - by tomorrow! A little girl found it and innocently took it home and passed it to her mummy.
D'aww.
That was the challenge given to me, and it was tough.
Y'see, I have my next school assessment coming up: a public performance.
Yep. Right. Next Wednesday.
A public performance.
The hub of the arts in this country (look up the Esplanade if you're interested in depth-knowledge) had a conveniently-placed cafe in the library, and it had conveniently provided a little stage, complete with a digital piano.
When our group of merry students made a trip to that library to handle our assign
The evil laugh.
For I have nothing better to analyze.
Some people can do it. Some people can't. Some people love to do it. Some people get annoyed by it.
It's utilized in the world of fandoms and fiction commonly. I've yet to see Bionicle characters (in the books) do it.
I've seen it being done in fanfiction a lot, though. A really rotten villain would be brought down for his evil laugh - and choking/coughing halfway in its execution.
I beg all writers who read this not to do that
We must celebrate all the good news, y'know, instead of the morbid mentality we have of being attracted to any bad news that occur.
First on the list is the Transforming Sound (from the original Transformers cartoons) that I received from my friend as a ringtone. As Nokia goes, if you leave the phone in its 'General' profile, it shall make noise.
That happened when someone quite wisely sent me an SMS during class time. I had left the phone in 'General' mode.
Cue in the shock and laugh
I'm going nuts. BZP's bugs aren't helping.
Today, I sat down and thought for a bit while eating lunch. Good friend was doing assignments in the studio, so I was alone for the while.
And it was a good time to mentally prepare myself for a long while's worth of havoc.
A rather major assignment is due at the end of this week, one is going to be presented this week, one really really big one is due in three weeks and it's still in the works...
Do I really have any other life than an a
Lord Survourlourde still hates me.
This is my sixth attempt, I think, to post up a blog post. And as you may've seen, I double-posted on the last round.
The server renewal is a good thing - but it is not a good thing for my account.
That, and I can't send PMs out.
Nasty, this. Nasty.

I finally batted away the music theory monster. T'was tiring, but I did it! And finally with some time on my hands, I came back to see what happened to BZP. I recalled it being down for a while.
First thing I saw when I entered the Library section: Hey, the envelopes are back!
I recall that these envelopes were used during my first year here, when I wrote my first epic. Then the server changed, I think, and the old icons were gone.
Now they're back! Hee!
Maybe Hapori Tohu and Survou
Music Theory is a chore
It's way much worse than a bore
To read each note in the score
Like staring at ants on the wall (and you can't squish 'em)
~
Don't ask. Ask my lecturer who was smart enough to load us all with music theory exercises. With the current assignments that are bearing us down, this one is the heaviest and most urgent for now.
But... but... music theory! Egads, you don't know how painful it is until you sit down for one hour straight just to work on it - and only be an
I was absent for a bit, but I've got good reason!
It seems like it's been a spate of sick-season over here. The dengue scare alert is up in code red, and my grandma got it. She's still recovering, but at least she's back from the hospital.
A day after she got warded, my uncle was found with a blood clot and was hospitalized too - one ward away from her. He has returned home too.
And back at home ground, my puppy Lucky ate something that didn't agree with him - don't know what - and he g
When school kick-started again on Monday, I think my brain gave way.
Because on Tuesday, a few events that could be related to senility occured to me.
When I got to school, I knew that I had to be at a class by 8... but I forgot which class that was.
I assumed it was Subject X, and went to the classroom.
It was housing the juniors.
Taking my leave, I tried to think of what was that class I had to attend to, but my mind was blank.
I grabbed an ice lemon tea and sat at the f
From HH's blog, months ago, but still fun to revisit and try. I will have weird answers - trust me.
Le Soundtrack of a <dd> movie -as told by Windows Media Player-: Opening Credits: 'Trash The Camp' - Phil Collins & N*SYNC, OST Tarzan (A very quirky way to start the show, and very creative use of syllables. ) Waking Up: Nocturne - Secret Garden (Now we wake up in the middle of the night?!), Father Christmas - OST Chronicles of Narnia (Now this is more I like it!

Tahu looked up to the large being above, his Hau Nuva showing his frustration clearly.
"Stranger, let me get this straight. You found strange signals on my home and brought your armada here to eradicate a ... De-seep-tin-con threat?"
The being nodded. Its voice replied, sounding very strange and wired. Indeed he was, because Tahu Nuva could identify only one thing on that being that stood many miles higher than he: It had wires and glowing optics. That was it.
"Yes, that is correc
I found something really amusing.
The Transformers Movie is going to screen soon, and the posters are growing and spreading like wildfire.
When I took a closer look at one with Mr. Protect and Mr. Destruction (Identified with the words 'Protect' and 'Destroy'), I noticed something really queer.
There were symbols on their faces, etched and rusted.
But they were readable.
Well, looky there, I can read Cybertronian (language of the TFs).
I could read them - because they looked li
Maybe you all can help me stop brooding about this bit of life's ironical trivia.
Right now, there's an obessesion around the world about one particular culture - Japanese culture. Cultures maybe, seeing as it branches off into more categories than I have fingers.
As far as I know, it's literally taking the world by storm. My friend, who digs anime and manga, got me a Death Note notebook as a present (I didn't tell you about that, did I?), I love Japanese cuisine to bits, I do know some an
I must honestly admit that at the Voya Nui saga, I totally lost track of what was happening. All I knew were of Piraka, Matoran becoming Toa, and somehow two Titans from the Order of Mata Nui and the Brotherhood of Makuta - though an Umbra appeared somewhere and disappeared.
And for Mahri Nui, the Toa transform into new bodies and become Toa Mahri, and we get yellow to replace brown. There's a yellow Matoran, Dekar, green Defilak - two instead of six, and six Barraki - and a freakish creature
It rocked. Our orchestra sucks (the pipe organist flunked) and the choir was too strong to be miked, but it rocked.
Listening to 'One-Winged Angel' for the first time, Legend of Zelda, Halo, World of Warcraft, Super Mario Brothers, the Revenge of Shinobi (I wonder who remembers that), Daytona USA and more... wow. Video game music is another industry that I eye (along with other coursemates), and this is the deserving right and justice to the wonderful songs behind each game. Not only does one
