Mark -"Where's my sis?"
Jo-Ann - "Toilet"
Me - "Damn. Next time must run to the window, look down and scream MEL! See how he react."

Haha, reading Yang En's blog sorta inspired me to blog.

I love Weng Keong's blog ( although he updates once a century ), Yang En's and Ming Cong's blogs. Such simplistic skins, coupled with the honest light and carefree nature of their posts really brighten my day. I don't think I can explain why, and I don't want to understand it either. Some things lose their magic when explained. I'll leave this a mystery =)

Using a facial wash now. Hopefully it'll clear up the beginning pimples. Looking like my face was hit by a meteor shower wouldn't be good now would it? So it's facial wash in the morning, and everytime I bathe/brush teeth. So about 2 or 3 washes a day.

Jo-Ann is tempting me to watch Bleach. And after playing Bleach: Heat The Soul 4, I must say that temptation grows stronger. Hinamori is just so cute. Rukia, Matsumoto, Yachiro and Nemu are uber too. And Soifon is just that cool. Gin is ok lah, Whorihime and Ichigo are definite no-nos. But in all, I dunno. Priorities first yeah. Homework, academics and the like. But catching a few episodes of Bleach now and then...wouldn't be too bad yeah? Jo-Ann tells me that episodes of Bleach are being taken down from Youtube though.

Hinamori =)

Tomorrow sees the CO camp dry run. A tad late really, but isn't really a difference from our normal "standards and protocol". Mistake not this statement as justification of our actions, but really as an indicator of how we are, in terms of efficiency.

I need to go on a shopping spree. I need to. I NEEEEEEEEEED to. Me and $500 to go Vivo'ing for one day and shop to my heart's content. I need a pink shirt, a couple more long pants, perhaps a long sleeve (t-)shirt, couple bermudas...and a crumpler. God I need a crumpler. Although it really is quite ex, and I do have a fairly nice functional bag now. So yeah, a crumpler shall not be at the top of my list.

And then really, I don't need more clothes. Well, I do, but only for variety. Can I throw together a decent outfit from my wardrobe? Yes, but it'll be monochrome ( and simplistic XD ) 60% of the time. And who's to say that's really bad. $500 on clothes that won't really make a real impact on myself, or others isn't a good way to spend money. $500 on anything that doesn't really impact anyone isn't a good thing anyway. It's nice to walk around and think of buying this ( oh it looks super fugly/ugly ) and that ( so sexy/chic/cute ) but not worth it yeah? $500 could be much better spent. I need to update and add to my collection of books.

Speaking of which, I've just finished re-reading Hannibal's Rising and I must say that it is an extremely hard book to really undersstand. The literary terms and ideas are so well concealed that it really begets third, and even fourth readings. The pace of the story is rather awkward though, and I found myself skipping a few paragraphs here and there, although that impatience is a bane not a boon anyway.

I need more novels, though I've found I can't really just sit down and devour novels like I used to. I remember two or three years ago, Dan Brown's Deception Point, Angels and Demons and Digital Fortress were bought and read in close to a week, every word. And then I re-read them about two weeks later and found a little more understanding. The trip to San Francisco/Las Vegas again left me time to read the three through again, and this time ( thanks to Literature classes ) I've found a lot of hidden meanings and ideology I never noticed before.

Books =) My childhood, and now probably my teenagehood. I'm not complaining =)

Dry run tomorrow, shall be exhausting. Camp on Wednesday and Thursday, dental on Tuesday. School in two weeks, homework mostly untouched. Oh my. Whatever shall I do?
