XANGA it is

hehehe hello there.

you must be so sick of me moving all the time.

this shall be my 3rd blog move of the year! (within a 4 month time span? hee hee)

last move, i promise! (for a long time)

so come join me at http://xanga.com/aanjz

i've taken the liberty of switching off xanga lock for the moment, since you have to edit your bookmarks and what not, i didn't want to be more of a nuance ..

to all my readers and random passer-buyers, thanks for dropping by and reading my random (sometimes idiotic) stories hehehe .. i hope you come to xanga and continue reading my stories, and maybe just maybe, you'll sign up for an account and comment and TELL ME WHO YOU ARE and yeah, that would be lovely! lol.

hehehe, that sounds so sappy!! aaaaaiyh, laters punks!

xoxox

should i revert back to xanga?

sorry folks, i'm indecisive again. i was asked to move back to xanga, and now the idea seems to be growing in appeal. this site was never that user-friendly to start off with anyway since people are finding it difficult to comment, and some of which claim you need prior registration in order to comment? no wonder, and that kinda sucks. feels like i'm writing to invisible ghosts, who leave statistics but no identification lol.

well, i've weighed up the pros and cons of xanga and blogspot, not that there were many:

xanga
+ i can track a portion of readers using xanga lock, whereas i have absolutely no idea who reads my blogspot apart from those who occasionally comment.

+ easier for people to bookmark my site by private subscription, instead of bookmarking it under their 'favourites' tab.

+ easier for people to comment on xanga, than it is here.

- i hate the restricted layout of xanga, and the stupid banner - give me free premium xanga!

- more chance of random people surfing through my site


blogspot
+ i've managed to grow a little pack of loyal readers from all over the globe in the past few months - thank you!

+ nobody else i know is on blogspot, i like the uniqueness

+ i love my template! how pretty is it! it's pretty okay!

+ my template rooools!

- people have difficulty/cannot comment which really sucks

- if i leave, my readers may not follow me? =(




well, if i put it down to one thing, it would be because of this lovely template. i like it! if only i could bring it to xanga, but i cannot. i've decided that if i find a decent enough template for xanga, then i'm moving to xanga. else, i'll continue my blogging here. it's all about the template people! the 'look and feel' of it! hahaha .. sorry, you might have to edit your bookmark if i decide to move. =( but it only takes 5 seconds! =D

'mike the headless chicken' and other random things

everyone, meet mike the headless chicken (1945-1947)

mike is arguably the most famous chicken to ever live! why? because mike was a rooster that lived for 18 months after his head was chopped off and his neck was left severed. the story goes that a farmer was sent by his wife to fetch mike from their backyard to cook for dinner. somehow the farmer managed to chop off mikes head, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem intact. for some reason, the farmer decided to leave the chicken the way it was and so poor mikey slept in the pen with it's loose head under its wing! awww, and so with this touching tenacity to life, the farmer decided to care for mikey permanently.

mikey the headless chicken continued to function normally, despite not having a head and seeing where it was going, however mikey did gain better balance hehehe. after being recognized and gaining some fame, mikey and the farmer started doing road-shows, together with other uh, unique animals such as the two-headed calf. one night while touring, little mikey started choking on his own mucus and died. usually the farmer would clear the mucus with a syringe at home, but he had forgotten to bring it along for the tour.

today 'mike the headless chicken' is an actual institution in colorado, and they even have an annual 'mike the headless chicken day' on the third weekend of may.

hmm, i wonder if this story is where the famous 'chicken dance' originated from hehehe.

apple crumble

i bought myself a very appealing apple crumble from my local shopping centre the other day. as a treat, i prevented myself from touching it until i got home. as a dessert, i expected it to be deliciously appetizing. it was down right aweful! it was as if i was eating a bag of flour! i gave up after the first spoonful and left the rest of it for the birds in my backyard to eat. if it wasn't half as bad i would of at least attempted to finish it off, but it was just gross. i can't believe how good it looked!

'Oh dear: Frankston people are always bagging Dandenong.
This car was snapped in Frankston recently.'

i found this article in a local newspaper! hehehe it made me laugh. lol @ all the frankston people!

parents

nag nag nag nag nag !!!

what is it about parents that can sometimes give you a strong urge to go bang your head onto a brick wall!

seriously ..

ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

please don't get me wrong. i love and respect my parents with all my heart and soul. but goly gosh, there are times where i wish i had my own sound-proof booth where i can just lock myself in and SCREAAAAM to my hearts content! to release all that pent-up frustration and negative energy! oh, that would be great!

but that's not reality. reality is that i have to simply deal with it as is. gah! i've learnt that no matter what you do or how hard you try, there will always, always be something for either one of your parents to pick on! and because they have the power, they feel they have the right to lecture you or tell you off for the most ridiculous of things! and more often than not, is the fact that they, or mine at least, like to comment on issues that i have absolutely no control over!

*headache*

is it just me or do you (re: my lady readers) also get told off for having a pimple on your face? what about when you're sick and looking yellow? or for wearing a jumper on a warm/hot day! yeah! you read me! in all seriousness, i think my mother is the only mother in the whole wide world that would tell their daughter off for wearing a jumper on a warm day! "why are you wearing so much, are you sick? do you have your seasons wrong? you look out of place, can't you wear a t-shirt or something lighter? are you crazy?"

argh! do you have to ask so many questions! *cries* so annoying! and let me wear what i want to wear. you should be thankful that i am anti-skank!

because there's no such thing as perfect

and thus, nobody perfect to measure up to

well, it's not just the above issues. there are more petty issues but they are so petty that i've forgotten what they were. personally, it sometimes feels like it's done purposely. that because i don't give my parents trouble, my parents - ok, i should really single out my mother and leave my poor dad out of this - feels like it's wrong and abnormal to have nothing about me to nag about. and so she'll undergo some nit-picking to find that tiny tiny thing that she may find somewhat disturbing, and go 'ah-huh!' then her rants and nags will start and i'll have to just sit there like a muted robot and listen to her rants while biting my tongue, and trying my best not to sigh.

it really isn't that bad and doesn't occur that frequently. but when it does, i just can't stand it. but no matter how unreasonably annoying and trying your parents can be at times, don't let it get to you. as hard as it is, try not to give in to your emotions. it's not worth it. it will pass, so just bite your tongue, take a deep breathe and forget about it. your parents wouldn't be considered normal if they didn't nag!

let them erupt if need be! they'll get over it sooner or later!

in respect to responding and reacting to the somewhat negative behaviours of one's parents, no matter what, try your best to treat your parents with respect. i have two words to say: filial piety. if you don't know what that means, then i strongly suggest you look it up. but since i am so nice and all hehehe, you can just click here.

read it? good! now i know there are some circumstances where filial piety seems impossible to do. it's hard when your parents are yelling down your throat, when they physically/verbally abuse you, or unfortunately for some - some parents are just unworthy as parents. sometimes all you want to do is cry and yell back and cuss and scream your lungs out at them! no! do not relent! do not succumb! no matter how strong your urge is, control yourself! for you know you'll regret your words and actions later on .. not to mention karma will come and bite your arse off. there's no point in respecting one's 'god' or religion, or practicing goodness when you don't respect the deities that live with you. your parents are your deities. charity begins at home.



hehehe, once again i've managed to rant on more than i initially expected. this will be a boring post to some people, but to others that found this post remotely interesting, i hope this entry has left you somewhat inspired to be more virtuous as a son/daughter, and as a person.

parents = slang for a 'pair of ranters'!

parents, gotta love them!

i'm back and mojo-less

scenario: macca's drive through

angie: can i please get one large cappuccino with two sugars
girl 1: no problem, drive through
girl 2: hi, how are you tonight? here's your coffee and two peppers. i'll just go get you your sugars
angie: oh? peppers? *puzzled face*
girl 2: yes .. ? i'll get your sugars for you
angie: .. peppers? but this is a cappuccino?
girl 2: *gives me a blank stare*

10 seconds later and it finally hits her! hahaha, what a funny woman. that's what graveyard shifts do to you! well, no more coffee's for me until june 2007! (next batch of exams) yesssssss!

- - -

i am back peeeeeople!

you missed me didn't you?

oh yes you did!

hahahaha =P

i am still recovering from lack of sleep, even after just having 12 hours of sleep! so please bear with me until i get my blogging mojo back "yeah baby, yeah!"

whoa, three weeks of not blogging (minus the latest entry - that was an exception), and i am (or was) filled to the brim with .. so much junk i wanted to blog about! keep your pants on - it's not that exciting. now the only problem is remembering what i wanted to blog about.

not much has happened in the past few weeks. although i did put on a few pounds and my chin was and still is, attacked by a mob of pimples. gosh, all that exra late-night snacking has had a toll on my body .. my face is so roundddddddd i don't like!

i think this is the heaviest i have ever been in my life! my pants have never felt tighter, and my thighs keep knocking each other every time i walk! no joke, i'm a wierd kinda fat. i wouldn't call myself 'fat' but i am like the fattest skinny person you can be? if that makes sense? lol ..

this extra weight is not necessarily a bad thing, but i do look odd in fitted clothing. and oh, it's become increasingly challenging just sucking my gut in! whatever, i'll just use my extra flab as some kinda stress-reliever thing lol. no need to be so pessimistic about it. at least i'm working out my jaw and intestines, yes?!

it's because of exams that i have put on so much weight. my dad has been spoiling me to the point where he is cooking me har-gao dumplings at 4am in the morning! crazy, yeah?! hehe but isn't he the bestest! and hey, i'm not complaining =D. although i really think i should change my eating habits (for the millionth time) and it wouldn't be that hard. all i'd have to do is stop midnight snacking and voila, a few kgs shed. question is, do i really want to get rid of this cute little over-grown slab of fat aka 'my tummy' .. or would i rather keep it =p

- - -

ok, in other more interesting news, i would like to proudly announce that i have recently given birth to a beautiful baby girl!!

hehe okay okay, so the baby is not really mine *sad face*. but isn't it the most gorgeous thing ever?! so adorable aaaahh! the baby belongs to my just as beautiful, lovely cousin sethiar. sethiar is so pretty, but that day she was so radiant and glowing! and the baby, the baby doesn't have a name as of yet, but guess what the babys nationality is?! ah, you'll never guess so i'll just tell you hehe. the baby is cambodian/chinese/australian/kiwi! i don't think the baby will grow up looking asian, because she has gorgeous blue eyes and light brown hair! lol holy macaroni, she's going to be one hell of a stunner when she grows up! half-casts are just so damn beautiful!

- - -

i can't believe holidays are here! three and a half months of freedom! no assignments, no exams! no classes!

how blissful does that sound! haha all the tutors and lecturers can go smell my cheese (re: pic above) lol! that pic was taken out of frustration during exams hehehe .. see how bored i get =( not that studying was ever meant to be 'fun'.

anyways folks! that's all for tonight! but before i go, i just wanted to say thanks to all the visitors who still regularly popped by during my hiatus, even though you knew there wouldn't be any new entries! pfft, thanks for undermining my abiliy and thinking that i'd eventually succumb to the blogosphere before the set date!

.. hehe ok my bad. one entry doesn't count okay! xoxoxo =)~

back - for a bit

yes, technically i am supposed to be on hiatus. but i felt sorry for some of the readers that keep coming back everyday to check if i have updated. hey, i'm not supposed to be back here until the 8th of november mmkay. goodness, i wonder how many anonymous readers i will lose by then. then again, maybe that is a good thing. besides, not like i had many to start off with lol.

so reason for this post? just to give you some eye-candy to perve on, even though there's not many pictures. but how does that age ole proverb go? it's the quality (of these really hot babes) that matters, not the quantity!

below are pictures of some sexy girls taken last week at P1 or is it Pi? that's odd, is that the same club? or has the name been recently changed? if that's two different clubs then that's just stoobi, to have a name similar to that of a competitors! anyways, point is .. you better start drooling. oh and, thanks in advance for the photos i scabbed off your blog susan and tayo. hee hee.

pretty girls: lyniee, ny, suz and tayo

now, am i colourblind or is that susan wearing purple? ho ho ho!

are they lovers or are they brothers? hehe jk! tony and steven

yes this pic is small 'cause you have a broken link to the big pic susan lol

and you are so right suz! hahaha

tony does look like the white-masked guy from scream!

and tony, i hope you don't look like that when you are doing number two's!
(this pic is just a joke - don't take offence tony hehe)

ta ta for now.
xox

going on hiatus

as much as i love blogging, i really need to study

as hard as it will be for me to stop blogging temporarily, i really need to study

as difficult as it is for me to discipline myself, i really need to study



you get the drift?

i really need to study!

so stop this typing and go study!

3 weeks of not blogging will be a killer!

what will happen to my emotional and creative outlet!

shut up and go study already!

gone.

for now.

i hope.



hey, this entry kinda resembles a christmas tree.

ok ok, gone.

wish me luck for my exams folks.

till then, take care.

xox



p.s. i will officially be freed from the 'prison of uni' on wednesday 8th of november at exactly 12.30pm. please take one minute of silence to celebrate my victory!

on relationships

tony: moo
annie: yeah! we used to have cows around uni!
ny: really? where are they now?
annie: angie came along and ate them all!
ny: hahahahahahahaha that is so something angie would do

* all three start laughing

angie: huh, what the fudge?!!!

my darling annie and i! (stupid mouse pointer, i look like i have a massive mole!)

one of my favourite books is 'conversations with god', written by neale donald walsch. as the title suggest, it is a conversation and so the book is written in dialogue form. all my life i have always been inquisitive and curious about life, the universe and everything in it. this my friends, is the perfect book for those who are as curious about things as i am.

however, i do urge that potential readers will approach this book with an open mind, as the whole book contains sensitive content. and just for the record, i am not a christian, nor catholic, nor any other religion for that matter. i have my own 'god' and my personal beliefs on how the universe works.

from time to time, i will extract certain passages that i find interesting enough to share with my fellow readers. i hope these excerpts will provide a little more insight and understanding into why things are they way they are.

excerpt from conversations with god - book 1

relationships

most people enter into relationships with an eye toward what they can get out of them, rather than what they can put into them.

the purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of youreself you'd like to see "show up," not what part of another you can capture and hold.

adorable

make sure you get into a relationship for the right reasons. most people still enter relationships for the "wrong" reasons - to end loneliness, fill a gap, bring themselves love, or someone to love - and those are some of the better reasons. others do so to salve their ego, end their depressions, improve their sex life, recover from a previous relationship, or, believe it or not, to relieve boredom.

none of these reasons will work, and unless something dramatic changes along the way, neither will the relationship.

a famous painting: 'the kiss' by gustav klimt

it is very romantic to say that you were "nothing" until that special other came along, but it is not true. worse, it puts an incredible pressure on the other to be all sorts of things he or she is not. not wanting to "let you down," they try very hard to be and do these things until they cannot anymore. they can no longer complete your picture of them. they can no longer fill the roles to which they have been assigned. resentment builds. anger follows.

it is very romantic to say that now that your special other has entered your life, you feel complete. yet the purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.

never do anything in a relationship out of a sense of obligation. do whatever you do out of a sense of the glorious opportunity your relationship affords you to decide, and to be, who you really are.

know and understand that there will be challenges and difficult times. don't try to avoid them. welcome them. gratefully. see them as grand gifts from god; glorious opportunities to do what you came into the relationship - and life - to do. try very hard not to see your partner as the enemy, or the opposition, during these times. in fact, seek to see no one, and nothing, as the enemy - or even the problem. cultivate the technique of seeing all problems as opportunities. opportunities to be, and decide, who you really are.

lets play, spot the difference

so i was surfing on xanga, decided to log into my account to check my footprints log (note: my xanga account is 'inactive' because this is my primary blog). couldn't be bothered following all the links, but felt bored enough to click on one. it was a totally random click. so yes, i clicked it and what do i see?

my own blog staring back at me? (notice how that rhymes lol). no, it wasn't really my blog. this is what my xanga blog looks like:

now, is it just me or are there some uncanny similiarities between the two? say, the header for example? this girl-that-shall-remain-nameless (note: i do not know her) has only posted one entry on her xanga. supposedly she's starting the whole blogging thing all over again. i would give you her link but nah, i don't want anybody bored enough to flame her. besides, i am not really that annoyed about it. if anything, i find it quite amusing. oh well, hmph maybe 10% annoyed considering the time and effort i put in to making that header.

hey, it may look simple and easy to you (it was easy peazy to make), but it was quite time-consuming changing the fonts and colours and editing and repositioning everything so that it lookes the way it does today, okay?! hehe =)

but yes, i am not that annoyed because as i mentioned earlier, i no longer blog there. the only thing she's changed on the header is the quote i placed under 'it's just me'. she's taken out my ralph waldo emerson quote which ironically says: "be yourself, that's all there is of you", and replaced it with "name name name name nameeeeee .. etc." (name being her real name)

so what happened the other 90%? well, that goes to flattery. i find it quite flattering that she liked it so much. so much so it only took 5 seconds of 'copy and paste' for her to steal an hour or so worth of my work. whoa, do i sense my own sarcasm there? lol.

talk about being original.
