With no way of knowing , When the wheel stops spinning

I'm re-watching Transformers for the 3rd time. They're so adorable. Big gigantic robots trying to sneak around. So cute. HAHAHA! After exams, I'm gonna spend one whole week just re-watching all the old Transformers cartoons I used to watch. If I can finish it all in one week, that is.

IronHide: He sprayed lubricants all over my foot.

Sam: He peed on you? Bad Mojo, bad Mojo!

Optimus: Autobots, hide!

And they did... very well, too... :

It also appears that the surname Witwicky was from the human mechanic and his family in the original animated series.

And when I search my soul I find, A better place to be around

Revisiting my childhood, my favourite character (among others) in Twisted Metal used to be Firestarter. The irony. I liked him 'cause he could cause extra damage while the enemies burnt even when I wasn't directly burning them anymore.

I used to love using Sweet Tooth too, in all versions of TM up till TM4. Extreme cheater character 'cause his specials home in on targets so I can just stay somewhere and shoot and it'll be sure to hit someone. Used to cause my brother much distress.

I could go on forever about Twisted Metal. Yeah, so I liked big metal cars fighting each other. Super metal cars with superpowers. Superpowers, mmmmmm. Heeheehee.

Reminiscence of childhood. When things used to be so simple. All I had to worry about was getting up, going to school, playing sports, coming home, watching TV, playing games. You get my drift.

Now, less than 10 years later, what do I have to worry about? Money, people, and the whole wide world. And possibly procrastination and how much I really need to stop. =D

Incidentally, I realised that the saucepan that died during the little fire incident was the very same one that I used to kill Mr. Spider a couple of days/weeks before that. Karma.

Moral of the story: Big ugly furry spiders can do magic. Not to be messed with.

Far longer than forever, As constant as a star

@#)$(#*$#, I'm gonna be charged $50 for replacing a freaking Fire Blanket, and $12 for a freaking saucepan. GAH! Not like I intended to start the fire. Student Village management trying to suck me dry. *sobz*

I laughed the loudest, Who'd have known

In the lead-up to exams (which I am yet to start studying for), I... almost.... burnt my whole house down. O.O

Cravings for KFC are never a good thing. I haven't had KFC for... more than a year (oh yes, I am that sad), and decided to fry my own chicken to satisfy my cravings.

So there I was happily crumbing my chicken while the oil was heating in the saucepan behind me. As I was coating my final piece of chicken, I heard a "whoosh" behind me. To my horror, the saucepan was on fire.... no small fire at that. I picked up the saucepan and considered for a second about using water, but I remembered from my science classes of long ago that this was NOT a good idea for an oil-started fire. So putting the saucepan on the widest empty bit of floor in the house, I tugged the Fire Blanket and threw it (literally) over the pan. Opening the dining room sliding door, I watched in hopes that the fire would die down. It didn't.

Dashing upstairs, I called "YVONNE YVONNE!!!" and frantically knocked her door saying "fire downstairs fire fire!". See, the reason I called her was 'cause I had hoped she knew what to do, seeing as she was 33 and probably more experienced in said events. It turned out, she panicked more than me. She turned to pull out the Fire Blanket. The very same Fire Blanket that was already on top of the saucepan 'cause I put it there. -.- She soon realised that, with a "Eh, where? Oh you've already put it on!" We stood, choking and watching the fire, and I asked her (pretty calmly, I'm proud to add =D) "What should we do? Doesn't seem like the fire blanket's working. Do we have a fire extinguisher?" And her reply? "No, we don't!!! What to do what to do?!!!! I donno I donno!!!!" The exclamation marks are no exaggeration. Hilarity.

She then ran across the road to call the management dude (thank goodness our unit was so close to management), and the guy very calmly walked across to our house and very very calmly picked up the sides of the fire blanket and stuffed it all on top of the saucepan. And I do mean very calmly. Seemed like it was an everyday event to him. He brought the smothering saucepan outside and starting airing out the house. And he said that in the future if it ever happened again, I should leave the saucepan on the stove and CALMLY lay the Fire Blanket over it, but that I had done a good job anyway.

Am I traumatised? Why, of course not. It's not like I almost died or anything. Who would be traumatised? *sits in a corner playing with fingers and going "heh heh. heh heh heh. heh heh."*

I don't suppose I'm gonna be deep-frying anything for quite a while. And my life has probably been shortened by a couple of years considering the amount of toxic smoke I just inhaled. But, all's well that ends well yes? Yes yes yes?

The moral of this story: Grilled chicken is better than fried chicken. Healthier and much safer. Mmmmmm...

Just a little change, Small to say the least

Mr. Spider came to visit,

Hoping for a bit of lunch,

But I killed him with a saucepan,

With a loud, resounding crunch.

I know I know, I marvel at my wonderful poetic skills. Felt I needed to add some sugar and spice to the horrible thing I just did to Mr. Spider so I'ld feel at least a bit better. In case anybody didn't know, I'm scared shitless of spiders. Mr. Spider was big and furry too. *shudders* As to how I know he's Mr. Spider and not Mrs. Spider? Well, I don't. Mr. Spider just sounds better in the poem. In any case, he's big and furry. Mrs. Spiders should be small and hairless. =D

Assignments are finally over and done with. BUT, exams are just around the corner. *sobz* Considering how much I've slacked this semester (like... not attending a single class all sem?), I have a LOT to catch up on for exams. Consequences of PFUL^zzz.

Here goes Stalkee No. 8:

If we're gonna die tomorow, At least we can say life has been alright

A thousand apologies. I've been very inactive 'cause my few weeks of non-stop assignments is here again (and it's gonna be followed very closely by exams). Prior to the major assignments panic, I've also been overdosing on Disney cartoons. What can I say? I'm still a kid at heart. Hehe. I also love my brother incredibly much and he knows why. =D

Presenting Stalkee No. 7 before I dash off to MYOB Accounting (which is actually quite fun but immensely time-consuming and tedious) again:

Almost believing, This one's not pretend

I'm in love.

*melts at his voice* Overdose of Disney love and Jon McLaughlin. Teehee. I *heart* Jon McLaughlin oh-so-much! His singing anyway =D. So close, To reaching, Our famous happy ending, Almost, Believing, This one's not pretend...... Wow, I could listen to him all day and all night.

How can you dream in the doorway, Without ever going in

Asteroid over Africa

An asteroid discovered earlier on Monday by an Arizona observatory will hit Earth's atmosphere over Sudan in a few hours but will burn up before it can hit the ground or endanger aircraft, astronomers said.

The asteroid will create a large fireball at about 2:46am GMT on Tuesday as it burns up, the team at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics said.

"We want to stress that this object is not a threat," said Dr. Timothy Spahr, director of the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Centre at Harvard in Massachusetts.

"We're excited since this is the first time we have issued a prediction that an object will enter Earth's atmosphere," Spahr added in a statement.

The asteroid, known as a meteoroid, is between 1 metre to 5 metres in diameter.

"A typical meteor comes from an object the size of a grain of sand," said Gareth Williams of the Minor Planet Centre.

"This meteor will be a real humdinger in comparison."

It will be visible from eastern Africa and will evaporate over Sudan, the scientists said.

"We really hope that someone will manage to photograph it (yes, particularly if Superman emerges)," said Williams.

Billions of blue blistering barnacles, there's a great ball of fire in the sky! Yes, it is otherwise known as... the sun... or not. Du du duuuu.

Presenting Stalkee No. 5 and No. 6:

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

Here you go.. Stalkee No. 3 and No. 4:

Had my first real experience of racism today. While it is true that people in this little kampung called Toowoomba are less friendly than anywhere else in Aus that I've been (I assume it's 'cause they grew up in this kampung and aren't as exposed to being around Asians), I've never actually really had any racist "attacks".

Healthy, fit people as we are, my friends and I usually walk to the shopping places to do our weekly grocery shopping every Saturday. Of course, the real reason is that we're extremely cheapskate students on a low budget and would rather walk the 2.5 km than pay money for the bus. Heehee.

Anyhoo, to cut a long story short, a car full of ugly Aussie dudes drove pass, and one of the passengers shouted and threw a drink box (I don't know how else to call it, you know, those small drink boxes, you knowww, yes yes?) at us. Very manly, I must say, throwing an empty RIBENA drink box at us, because real men drink ribena! Ugly man.

My first thought was to shout "Screw you!", but being the good-natured ASIAN that I am, I picked it up and threw it back at his face and gave him a flying kick 'cause my mama always told me "Actions speak louder than words". Or so I would've liked to have done. =D I ended up just staring at the car thinking "how sad, growing up in this secluded kampung and never learning how to keep the peace with fellow HUMANS".

I didn't actually see their faces clearly, but they must be dumb and ugly. In that little world in my head, all good-looking men are angels.

Of course in that little world, there are also pink elephants... and superpowers... belonging to me, needless to say.

Everyone misses something, And I know time changes everything

Spring = reading under trees and falling asleep in the shade of the leaves and the (preferably cool) breeze all around. Such is peace. Assignments... meddle with such peace. *sighs* Presenting Stalkee No. 2:

Stalkees are presented in alphabetical order, so no fights over who's my favourite yes? Teeheehee.

If there's nothing left to lose, Then there's everything to gain

A month of being lazy and not updating has brought about many questions of my whereabouts. The answer is simple: I was lazy. Heehee. Been busy doing this and that too, namely swimming and getting badly sunburnt. But that's all over 'cause my free pass to the pool expired as of 2 weeks ago.

Spring is here, though it hardly feels like spring... feels like summer came early. In with the heater and out with the fan (unfortunately I don't have the privilege of air-cond here *sobz*). How oh how did I survive in Kch for 19 years? But it DOES mean pretty flowers, pollen pollen pollen, summer dresses, and beeoootiful gardens. And flies. Lets not forget the flies. Incidentally, I dreamt I was being chased by a swarm of killer ninja bees last night. Another one of my secret agent infiltrating super-baddies' base dreams. (It's my inner-superhero trying to tell me something, heehee)

Lots to tell but what I have to tell will bring about more questions and I've decided I'm not obliged to explain myself to anyone just yet. So "lots to tell" will have to come later. At the current moment (as you can probably tell), my thoughts are all over the place. In the meantime, here's what I HAVE been doing. Google stalking. Muahahaha. Introducing the first stalkee (click to enlarge):

Also, after a year and a half of not actively playing basketball, I miss it oh so much! Especially since I've been watching Lan Qiu Huo (despite my initial dislike for it 'cause it's ultra exaggerated in some parts). Oh my darling And1, how have you been back home? I've also got tons of darling Terry Pratchett's to catch up on.

Stay tuned for the next stalkee...In the meantime, kick ass and chew bubblegum!
