I Can See! I Can See!

You know those urban legends about someone who was trying and trying to take out his contact lenses, only to rip out his cornea in the end?

Well, it doesn’t sound so funny anymore.

Heh… and here I thought using contacts was going to be a breeze. *gaak!*

First time, I thought I did alright. Only took me about 15 minutes. Not bad, judging from all the other stories I’ve heard. Some ranging from 45 minutes to an hour plus.

The hard part (which incidentally, I found out the hard way!) was when I had to put in on all by myself without the optician dude there for morale support. First, I had to guess which side is the right way. I mean seriously, how can you tell whether the damm thing is right-side out or inside-out? The only way I can actually tell I made a boo-boo is when there is a searing pain poking at the eyeballs.

*sigh* Vanity, vanity, thine name is Vincent.

Oh, yeah. Dropped one in the bathroom too. Sheezee… How DO you find something that looks like a droplet of water in an area that is perpetually wet?! I can’t believe I lost one.

Wearing contacts has also changed my lifestyle. I love to take spontaneous naps around the day. With my specs in the workshop until Wednesday (My little sister socked me in the face, cracking the thing into two pieces. The night BEFORE my last examination! Perfect), I have no other alternatives. I have to stay awake even thought I wanna lie down and laze around. The thought of putting in on again sort of deters me from removing it unless really necessary. I got to be really sure I wanna stay outta bed before putting them on.

I guess its better this way. I’m not too lethargic anymore. Just that rushing to drive my little sister to her tuitions and my mom from work doesn’t really work for me. My eyes are kinda beady and small early in the morning. My eyelids are unbelievably annoying, no matter how much I pry my eyes open. So much so I get to a point where I just shove the bloody thing into my eyeball, not caring about putting the lenses on their correct concaves. Driving down KL traffic with an inside-out contact isn’t a very enjoyable experience.

Good thing that both my eyes are equally impaired, simplifying the attachment process tremendously.

Can’t wait for my old specs to be repaired though. Flexibly!

Uggg..! If I ever have to watch another one of those High School Musical promo ads on Astro again, I’m going to kill someone. Really…

I mean crap, man! They’ve been like showing it over and over and over again. If ya combine all the clips together, well, there you have it! The whole bloody show.

“It’s hard to believeeeeeee!”

Arrrrrgggg!

Anyhow, funny thing about having exams. I haven’t been out of my house for like a week. This particular fact only struck me when I notice piles of my shaded hair beginning to form little colonies on my room’s floor.

By not going out of the house, my brain had to find another outlet for wanted distraction. Recently, just got hooked on to Kim Possible. Heh heh…

It’s on every 6 pm sharp, although here in Malaysia they are randomly showing the latest season (Season 3). I would really like to watch the earlier seasons though before Season 4 comes out this October. *Gives birdie to Disney’s 65-episode rule*

ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO DOWNLOAD TORRENTS FOR KIM POSSIBLE?

Yeah, so it’s a cartoon… a Disney cartoon to boot.
But I mean common! Redhead, bare-midriff teenage girl cheerleader. You can’t go too wrong there, my friend. Woooo Hooo!
Beside the ‘aesthetic’ appeal, the show’s dialogues are cleaver and witty. Tons of memorable characters. And it doesn’t take itself too seriously. The show openly acknowledges it’s own parody-like themes and flaunts it around shamelessly.

Anyway, exams are finally over. W00t! Just feel too spent to do anything…. Uhggg…

So, You Say You Wanna be a Jedi?

This video is freaking awesome!



It’s like wow… these people have a lot of time on their hands. To make something with such chorography and patience. Just imagine how many re-takes they would have to do over and over again. And the hours of video editing.

Like in real ‘kung-fu’ style-type movies, it’s just so rad that both combatants have their own distinctive Jedi stances. The one-hand saber dude is the epitome of coolness in my opinion. Of course, the dark side has always been cooler. They have the coolest moves, the coolest clothing and the coolest one-liners!

But I think the baddest-ass thing about this video is how each combatant changes their style a little after every engagement. A little tweak here, a little adaptation there. It is not static. They evolve and flow with the battle at hand.

It just goes to show that any fans of a genre are indeed a fascinating bunch. I mean they don’t get paid but they do quality stuff that even far suppresses work done by people who get paid to do it. If you are an anime lover, you will know what I mean. Fan-subs are like the best subtitles there is in existents. They not only give an accurate translation but also add-in little bits of facts to explain the Japanese language and culture.

A site to really visit is definitely FanFiction. Boosting millions of fan-writing stories of your favorite movies, shows, anime and cartoons, it’s a place where everything is (and will always be) possible. What could have been, crossovers between shows, alternative universes, the hero being evil. Anything that the fans would have loved to see happen in cannon. Guess it’s also a good place to start if one is interested in taking up fictional writing as a serious hobby or career. The people there are dedicated in giving constructive criticism with little to no flaming involve. They are just in it to see their favorite characters expand beyond the original cannon so it is also a good place to test-market if people actually dig your writings.

Anyway, exams are almost over. Just one more paper to go. Both marketing papers were... painful. On the hand. I'm just worried that the usual bullshit I have written will not get me through. Oh, well...

Of Little Peaches and Seeham

There is this odd thingy about my taste in food.

I like peach-flavored stuff.
Like peach-flavored yogurt, especially if they have those tiny little bits of the fruit inside.
I also have a subconscious impulse to reach for peach-flavored ice lemon tea from the chiller. Oooo especially the Capricorn ones with a Hawaiian polar bear on its silver packaging.
I also like the smell of peach-scented shampoo! (on girls, not guys. That would be like ewww...)

But I don’t like eating the peach fruit itself.

Guess it’s the same with seeham. I love seeham with my cha kuey thow but I really hate eating them separately. I can almost puke if I ate a seeyam just like that without anything and a seeham-less cha kuey thow taste kinda bland to me.

In fact (besides fried la la), I don’t fancy oysters or muscles that much.

But I like seafood.

Great. It's 4.30 in the morning and I manage to make myself hungry.
