Just finished my AIR topic, which is one of the very few assignments we have in IMU..haha. And I'm here for the sake of updating this blog. Well, that and I do miss writing. But not as if I have stuff to blog about. Well, I do, or more specifically, I had, but it's kinda like once you miss that ohmph to write then that's it?
Summary: Orientation is over, yes finally, sad but at least that load is off. And just when I think "it's time to focus on making it past sem 3" *BAM* I suddenly have a whole lot of things to do. I must have been slightly delusional at that point to think that I'll ever be "free" to focus on studies. It's always the same old pattern, one event after another, since...primary school? Haha. Fun no doubt but with consequences.
So what do I have in store for me?
My band's joining the english singing competition in uni, I got involved in the dance for Easter which means constant practices till 15th April (which is the day of the event), I got being in charge for an Inter-varsity Scrabble Competition which I have to organise and stress over till 16th April (day of event), and I have to make sure I don't flunk out of med school, which means me actually not drifting off into who-knows-where with me looking totally focused on what the lecturer is saying, which means me not doing stuff like...read storybooks, stare into utter blank space, BLOG when I'm supposed to be studying, I emphasize on the supposed.
My sis is coming back on the 19th April, which basically means all weekends are booked for eating and shopping, which is an awesome thing but not so awesome at the end of it when I realise that I'm lacking time, yet again. Haha. Then I'm heading to Hong Kong again on 29th April I think for more shopping and food.
Ahahaha..what did I get myself into. And this is so far. I predict a storm of events brewing and heading my way (especially concerning my band). Haha.

Yea well, this is actually long overdue too. So when I get into a holiday mood, I do the one thing that I simply must do during a holiday, and thats to make my brains turn into mush by going on a movie marathon. And so, during the break I had (which was about 2 months), here's the list:
1. Let Me In
2. Unstoppable
3. Role Models
4. Ice Age 3
5. Watchmen
6. Batman: The Dark Knight
7. Backup Plan
8. Someone Like You
9. Twilight: Eclipse
10. Shutter Island
11. Monster
12. G.I. Joe
13. Star Trek
14. Troy
15. Into The Storm
16. Brideshead Revisited
17. The Incredible Hulk
18. Doubt
19. Wit
20. Wuthering Heights
21. Law Abiding Citizen

52. Holes
53. Donnie Darko
54. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
55. Brokeback Mountain
56. Pretty in Pink
57. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
58. The Tourist
59. 2 Fast 2 Furious
Well, its kinda sad to end at 59 so here's 60 even though its watched after the hols.
60. Faster
Obviously, they're not all watched in a cinema, there are the old and the new. The good, really good, and the incredibly bad. The first-timers and the I've-watched-you-a-heckload-of-times.
Incredibly Bad Movie Award: Actually, this is kinda hard. "Faster" pops into my mind first, but thats because its the most recently watched. Compared to some on the list, its pretty..acceptable. I'm contemplating between the Twilights, Meatball cartoon or....okay, the award goes to "Land of the Lost". A completely and utter waste of time. And this movie actually does kill your brain cells, I joke not.
I don't exactly have an Incredibly Good Movie Award because there are a few that are really good but they don't exactly fall into the same category, so it would be unfair to judge. But here,
Repertoire of Good Movies: Shutter Island, Monster, Star Trek, Wit, Law Abiding Citizen, I Am Sam, Changeling, Rapunzel, The Machinist, The Young Victoria, Social Network, Artificial Intelligence, Tron Legacy, Holes, Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain.
Well, okay, if you don't agree with my choices, its fine. There are some movies that are actually quite enjoyable like Brideshead Revisited and Revolutionary Road, but they're a bit on the boring side if you're not the type for that kind of movies.
I would love to give you a detailed review on every movie on that list. But right now, I really need to watch this video about ECGs so we'll just leave it at that, shall we? :)

I never call my holidays unproductive. Because I can never get enough of it! To me, I have so much to do that I feel like even the longest of the longest breaks are too short for me. Well, maybe because I've never had those 3 months break kinda thing.
So today, my main event, was to make little cards and prepare my co-blogger's prezzie. Haha, I doubt she'll find out about her present before Thursday (which is when I'm going to give it to her before my days of freedom are numbered) since she barely reads this blog. (There's a jibe here, syen. Haha)
Yea, sorry, its inverted. But as I was making the card for her prezzie, I realised that we have come a long way haven't we? She'll be hitting the big 2-0 on Jan 3rd. That would make it, if my calculations are right, 14 years of friendship?
To have gone through 14 years together is pretty long. So much so that now, she's leaving her teens behind and heading to the adulthood. I've been noticing this lately, but yes, I'm old. WE are old.
It hits you when you become the oldest kid in your tour group when you go on holiday.
It hits you when you go to a shopping complex and you see eager, overexcited, rowdy kids hanging out in groups ready to go for their movie or bowling or ice-skating or whatever they do these days.
It hits me when now, when I hang out with my friends, all I want to do is sit somewhere and talk for hours and hours. I remember when it used to be that our outings had to be packed with stuff to DO. We had to go bowling, go for a movie, just DO something. But now, a place to sit and talk for hours is good enough.
It hits me when some of my friends are actually in the working world already because now, high school seems like such a long time ago.
It hits me when groups, you know like how you always have your little clique in high school, don't matter anymore. Being able to go through the day alone without posse is pretty liberating. Individuals are the ones that matter. And I like being independent and doing stuff alone.
It hits me when I get really bored with, so bored with that I simply ignore childish antics.
You may think, "Are you insane? You're only 18. That's barely under the aged category." I may not be biologically old, but I think psychologically, I'm old and aged. Haha. And it's not that bad.
Cheers to the world ~Mel

There are the randomest people in the world. Some obviously have decided to grace this blog with their presence. No offense, but its really kinda random to me.
Holidays are coming to an end soon. Sigh, the start of another epic "hard core" semester in med school looms in the very coming future.
Taiwan was fun. 8 days of good food. Good, epically fattening food. We're talking night market food every alternate days. I know I'm a partial "banana", but it's kinda cool that suddenly in Taiwan, my mandarin and hokkien improved..dramatically. Haha. I think it degraded by now.
Ah, I miss a lot of people in life. Sigh, sad how much just one year with them can bond people so much. It's sad that it could only be for one year. I miss you, Sydney buddies. *sniff*
Christmas. Nothing much. Anyways, Merry Christmas World :)
Dropping by to say "Hello World". ~Mel

So yeap, virtual cobwebs have been collecting on this blog. Haha, it doesn't matter if I'm the only one who reads this, I'm prefectly content :)
Anyways, yea, I'm on break now from my hectic life of a med student. When I said before to a friend that GETTING into med school is the most difficult part of Medicine as compared to life when already IN med school, I must have delusional back then. Because, warning people, that is complete bullshit. Well, if you're in IMU anyway. Life in med school...well, its comparable to being stuck in a pool of diarrhoea.
Onto other matters...
I know Taylor Swift has the majority of the world rooting for her and supporting her and being in love with her and her wonderfully honest songs.
Well, I'm not saying that I'm a hater. I don't hate her. That would be too strong a word.
But I have a problem with her wonderfully honest songs. I mean yea sure, songwriters who use personal experiences make good song writers. But not when they go overboard with it like she did. Seriously, she basically used every single relationship that she had and turned it into a tune. The worst part for me is that everyone knows who she's singing about. Really, if she wanted the whole world to know about her life, why not just call a paparazzi up and I'm sure they'll be pleased to jot every word that comes out down.
To me, it feels like she's just using it...
1. To gain attention. Hello, didn't the media and entertainment industry have a field day when they heard her songs and read her lyrics? I mean, "Dear John"? Subtle much. It's basically saying, "Hello world. Buy my album and listen to me bitch about everybody who is a somebody."
2. The poor people that she's singing about! I mean, it's a total invasion of privacy! For argument sake, say I'm a dude and I dated her, and she ends up writing a song about me after we broke up, whether it's a positive song or a bad one about me regardless, to me, I'll be so annoyed. Relationships are meant to be private. Especially since the relationship has ended, it would be like, "Hey, wth, why are you telling the whole world about us? Who gave you the right to broadcast everything between us?"
3. Does she want another relationship in life? Or is she just planning to die alone? The way I see it, and I quote Beyonce again, if I were a boy, I would not date her (not saying that she would want to date me, but this is for argument sake). It's basically like dating one of those paparazzi people or dating one of those whores who'll leak out your relationship to the whole entire world. To me, thanks but no thanks.
4. Either it's no relationship or relationships based on sympathy. "Oh, poor girl, she had such bad relationships. No matter, I'll be the knight in shining armor. I won't break your fragile heart." Yea, then after the breakup with probably her ending the relationship, she'll write you a sorry song. Yes! New song for the new album!
Obviously she doesn't feel the way I do or she won't be writing those songs. One or two, fine. An ENTIRE album (even if it's not an entire album, it's a LOT of songs)? You've crossed the line.

| Of Immaturity, Lies, Self-Obsession & Insincerity. | Wednesday, September 08, 2010 |

Another update, another rant.
Immaturity. How on earth can someone be that immature? Seriously. If a girl hangs out along with a guy, does that mean that they're together? Hello, which era are you living in? The freaking stone age? And I'm sorry but dear Mr. Hypocritical, apparently I'M not the only person spending time alone with a member of the opposite sex. Looked in the mirror recently? How about reflecting your own life and actions before tossing such a ridiculous comment?
Lies Lies Lies. Brilliant, aren't they? Another sign of the lack of maturity. What exactly is the point in lying about something that I truly don't give a damn about? As if the truth is a big deal. Please, as if your life is that fan-freaking-tastic that I should really care that much about the truths of your life and judge you for it.
Self-absorbed, selfish, self-centered, self-obsessed. These are the words to describe you. I'm sure you must feel flattered at having so many words to describe yourself. But really, do you really think that THAT is more important than anything else in my life? Just because you seem to be lacking a life of your own does not mean that everyone else is sharing the same sad pathetic dilemma as you. For the rest of us more normal people who lead normal lives and who have normal packed schedules, THAT is not top priority in our lists. On the contrary, THAT is nowhere near our lists. Because, our lives do not revolve around THAT. Because woe is the world, when our lives begin to revolve around THAT.
I do my job well and I know it. So shoving me compliments after THAT will not change my opinion of you. It is going to take way more than just words and flattery. Haven't you heard? Flattery gets you nowhere. And in my case, I know that flattery was only used because of the success that THAT has become. Insincerity, I dislike.
And I mean this sincerely.

Apparently, people do read my blog! Haha! Okay, due to the little jibes (hint: Jit Tong, and Shu Yen, who really should update this blog too, you co-blogger -.- ) I've gotten for NOT updating the blog as frequently as I should, so I'm gonna update when I can, okay?
So what's new?
1. My Hair? Haha..
Actually that's pretty much it la.
The thing is I keep telling myself that I really need to get my super-nerd-SPM-times mode on, but it just doesn't want to click on. I dunno, that's really bad i know, considering this is the sem that I need to be really serious, plus my previous sem results weren't that good either. So yea..
And the thing is I keep telling myself not to be judgmental. I do stop myself from being that in certain cases, but there are just some, obviously I'm not gonna mention which cases, though if you ask me personally, I might tell you, depending on who thou are.
But yea, I think it's the human mind, to just make immediate assumptions. It's like before you can stop yourself, the thought just pops into your mind. And stays there too most of the time. So how? At most, I think all we can do is to keep telling ourselves, "okay la, stop being so judgmental." and try, I put emphasis on the try to dispel such thoughts from our minds.
On another note, drama is fascinating isn't it? When our own lives lack it, we watch it. Some create it. Some just can't live without it. Haha. Drama is like fire - combustible, burns you and the people around you sometimes, but yet, still needed in life.
Though I really don't want drama or my life to be happening. Dude, if you're reading this (which I highly doubt, haha), "eh, I like sad unhappening life la. Stop creating unnecessary drama involving me la. As if your own life not scandalous enough." *tsk tsk jun xian*
