well after much searching around various sports shops, i've decided that it is impossible to get my beloved head nano titanium s1 or s4, simply because i havent seen it anywhere. dargh how pathetic. and annoying and pissy.
so i've a new goal for the end of the year. as in a new pinch-every-penny-and-hopefully-get-enough-for-this-ridiculous-thing-i-dont-need goal. A MARIMBA! yes so funkeh to have one right in my room and like just tinkle away all i want! with the nice soft mallets, of course.
i loveth the sound of the marimba. woody, nasal and lower than a xylophone but OH SO PRETTY and its made of wood! well, & metal tube thingums. but thats all not counted.
im being unrealistic. but who gives a crap, and whoever set the standards for realistic, sensible and whatnot probably wasnt a very realistic sensible persona himself.
meanwhile i shall start wondering, of all the instruments i've learnt, i've never actually blown anything, except a recorder but that doesnt count of course. the recorder is, in my opinion the most uncreative, stupid, and unappealing instrument. a thorn in music's side.
IM RANTING ABOUT RUBBISH AGAIN.
youth was nice today. "in Christ alone" got stuck in my head so i came home to figure out the chords and play it its so darn nice!
everythings lovely. i haven't done my homework yet. duh. but im feeling bad about it kuz i think doing homework on sundays is just...wrong. like wrong in that sense of wrong, unless like i truly rushed my ass off on saturday and friday but STILL cant finish. which is definitely not the case over here. well in a way it is. considering i was out until 9 yesterday and on friday too. tis still not a very good excuse though.
all the SIAs are piling on like er, ants on jellybeans. so i've been busy! well sort of. went to JRL yesterday for about 3 hours, 6-9 and am planning to make that my weekly regular times for visit! got an aung san suu kyi book, she is absolute HARTH! then 1 book on ageing population of s'pore, 1 on nation-building politics in s'pore, 1 book on nationalism & globalisation east & west, 1 really awesome but thick and chunky book on e history of e Bible which has loads of really kool thingums inside, & a kool maths book to decide what topic to do for e maths SIA.
today took a look @ e church bulletin, they're conducting a whole bunch of talks on how the da vinci code is THIS & THAT and im just like whats the big fuss. my mum calls the book evil. im like no its not, dan brown's a good writer. just that the facts he chooses to present are crap, but think about it really, theres a reason the books put on FICTION and not in like reference books.
but fact is you cant not admit that dan browns a rawkass writer. he manages to really put you in the place of the langdon person who like has an affair with every woman he works with. but thats not the point. anyways he makes you feel the tension and the stress piling up and i think very few authors can do that. like angels & demons, the pace of everythings terrific. digital fortress too. deception point i forgot what the story was about exactly, roughly about this searock was it? anyways i loved the ending of that. really poignant. and davinci code. dont you get hooked on trying to solve the mysteries?! like, the apple one.
hmph what a lot of ppl dont realise is that instead of attacking the theory itself, theyre attacking dan brown & the davinci code. i mean dudes, go walk into any popular, you see that BIG black and red book that says HOLY BLOOD HOLY GRAIL thats always put in display beside dan browns books? well thats where brown got most of his ideas for davincicode so gosh go attack THAT book. brown is merely putting some random untrue facts into a book to create a funky thriller.
meanwhile i really want to read "the bible code"! jolynn (from clit) suggested it muchly and in turn i recommended lee strobel's various books. ladida.
as for now. I CANT STAND LITTLE KIDS NOT EATING ENOUGH BECAUSE "THEY DONT WANT TO GET FAT". i think the real pandemic threatening the world is not bird flu or sars or dengue or WHATEVER. its the stupid brainwashing of the people that being fat is worse than being a skeleton when in fact theres no difference between the two. just like you can get burnt with strong alkalis AND acids.
look in any newspaper, and chances are after two or three flips youll see an ad for a slimming centre. its so ludicrous, its almost funny. and the irony of it all. walking down orchard road one will realise that 60% of the females are underweight, 10% are borderline underweight, 10% are normal, 10% are chubby and 10% are overweight. yet you ask all of them and theyll say theyre fat or have a sagging ass or have spare tyres or BLAH.
for you ridiculous people out there. think. when the world runs out of food, itll be the fat people who survive the longest because their bodies can feed of themselves. lol, lavender's long ago theory.
meanwhile, i have better things to do than go and worry about becoming obese. namely overdue homework.
i was green-ed at 8:45 pm
