i cant believe its 2011, did i even blog in 2010? haha.

spooked

have you been scared?
i bet i'll be right in saying that everyone is scared of at least one thing.
im no different.
im pretty much scared of most things

im scared of frogs, lizards, snakes, snails, leeches, slugs
im scared of falling, getting hit, getting bitten
im scared of food in tubes, like those salmon in tubes?
but maybe im not scared about the tubes thing but more like weird out from the fact that salmon can come out from a tube. not really natural you see.
the only thing that i can accept coming out from tubes, that i'll put into my mouth, is toothpaste.
and maybe sauces, like ketchup.

im even scared of my own dog. how weird is that? my own dog. heh heh

i just watched seven pounds.
only at the end i figured out that our hearts weigh seven pounds.
nice show, quite sad, i got all choked up, but i didnt spill. =D

art

Preface to Dorian Gray
by Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.

Those who find beautiful meaning in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass. The moral like of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything. Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art.
Vice and virtue are to the artist materials of an art. From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type. All art is at once surface and symbol.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself. We can forgive a man for making useful things as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

All art is quite useless.

luxury property anyone?

here's something that anyone can check out.

you're never too young to start investing in property and what better way to take that step than by buying one in our own country.

but of course its always safer to get more information before signing that cheque.

so, i came about a website, Malaysia property that i think would help.

my first impression of the website when it first pop out onto my screen was that the site itself was attractive.

i always advocate minimalism and the site was just nice, straight-to-the-point and clear.

information could be found easily and the pictures were great, not those lousy camera, blur, cant really see kinda pictures. what more can be expected from a luxury property site eh? =)

the main locations of these properties were in Kuala Lumpur. Some in Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan. though deemed as a site for Malaysian properties, i couldnt find other places. maybe there weren't any yet, and i probably think only a few places in our country could afford and sustain such luxury items.

nonetheless, i found the information quite adequate with phone numbers and emails as contacts.

there were 586 properties listed but only the top ones had more information.

so unless you're interested in some of the more 'famous' property, you don't really get much from the site.

there aren't many photos to compliment the properties that rank lower that the top 60 either.

but what i liked most was that the editors provided ratings for the top properties, so it made it easier for me to find 'hot' properties that were for sale or rent. it is definitely really good for people working in real estate. questions can be posted if you're a registered user and people do answer promptly and it makes it easier for people to know more about the property they are interested in. and its newbie friendly too! =D

on an end note, i must say this site is definitely for people who are of the higher income bracket. but looking at some property at their developer's price, made me wish i knew about it earlier to invest, judging from how much it had already appreciated.

verdict :  4/5 for information

              3/5 for visual aid

no-vem-ber

neck breaker, finger killer and annoying noises

*chants* "one more week, one more week, one more week"

i'm a mixture of
sudden panic attacks,
late night snaking,
viva la vida,
and lazy mornings.

crying,
wailing,
hyperventilating,
and studying.

books accompany my lonely nights.
while low music hums in the background.

*chants* "4 more papers, 4 more papers, 4 more papers"

after this, a well earned vacation would be enjoyed.
filled with TV, good food and nice cozy air-con-ed sleep


*end*

ps. drills and business 5 dont go really well.
i feel my brain mushing away, with every vibration.

breaking point

i feel numb


*end*

that day

that day,
i was so bored.
i became lazy.
i became so lazy that i couldnt do anything else but be bored.

yay, for me!

life examination

if only death was that colourful,
and that easy.
unfortunately its neither colourful nor easy.

for a long time she thought,
she had it all.
for a long time she thought,
she knew what to do.
for a long time she thought,
she could do anything by herself.
But life has a funny way,
of letting you know that you're wrong,
very wrong.
it reminds her to hold on,
to the One who created all things.

*end*

ps, dont worry. i just like the picture.

reconstruction

i think i need to restructure my life.
it has been a mess lately,
and im not so sure of the cause.

my year hasn't been the best one...yet.
im waiting for a brighter day,
where i can smile and show off my teeth.
but at the moment life's like that.


alithea : i think i want to be emo today.
annora : why?
alithea : because i want to have a variation of moods.


being happy all the time, takes a lot out of you.
and makes life kinda boring, happily.


*end*

rachel : *burst out laughing, showing me the 'L' (lame) finger*

water drops

i like the smell of rain.
especially rain with a hint of grassy-ness.
the freshness it brings.

i like the smell of rain.
especially during Christmas morning.
there's no snow, but rain is good too.
