Site Updates and Speeches
[EDIT] Challenges!!! Click here. I’ve only got one entry for each. So please join. It’s just for fun. Lol. [/EDIT]
Yes. I have been lazy and I have no excuse. I have like hundreds of icons stuck in my PC that I haven't been bothered to upload. But that doesn't exactly mean the icons look nice. :) Icons of Lindsay Lohan, Gossip Girl, Supernatural and Blake Lively.
Here's a preview:

I’m working on a new layout. I think it’s about time. However, I still can’t get the kinks right. My own coding’s frying my brain and I don’t even know if it will work well in other browsers. Apparently, this one that I’ve got here is a bit whacked up in Firefox. Dang, I need Firefox. Oh well. The new layout isn’t exactly the raddest layout I’ve ever done….as in I think I’ve done better. And it’s totally different from the kinds I usually make. The person I’ve “starred” in the layout is one you’ll never see coming. I didn’t even see it coming and I made it in like 5seconds, which is quite strange because I usually take months (not literally) to polish; let alone finish. Truth is, I’ve been sort of obsessing about him/her (Oh yes, it might be a “him”). I saw his/her photoshoot and had like a brain-flash and went “OMG, I have got to make a layout of this!” And I did it. But my ultimate goal with the re-vamp is to make my site look totally professional and organised. Which, of course I know will never happen. Well, we’ll just have to see how it ends up, won’t we?
Stuff about my life…hmm. Well, there’s 2 more weeks of school left till my much needed break. But I know for sure that in those 2 weeks, my teachers are gonna cram in as much work as humanly possible for them to give. (That made no sense, whatsoever). And then there’s the Parent/Teacher night. It’s actually Parent/Teacher/Student night. But I’m not gonna be there and tolerate the humiliation my teachers are gonna heap on me. No way. Plus, it’s not like I was the ever-so-rebellious kid of the school that counted the detention room as a second home. So, I’m pretty confident that the worst ever thing that could happen when my mum met my teachers was that they didn’t know what my name was.
Just this week, we had to do impromptu speeches. I nearly shat myself when I heard about it. Shat as in past tense of “shit”. I can’t even manage normal, prepared speeches. I’d always stutter, sweat, shake and quake as I stand there and clutch onto my palm cards like my life depended on it. So no hope in hell was I gonna go well in IMPROMPTU speeches.
And I was right. My random topic was “If clothes were made of paper or cardboard…”. My mind was blank. So for the longest, most embarrassing and frightening one minute of my life, I stood there like I had nothing better to do and just prayed vehemently that my teacher was gonna ring that bell to signal the end of my wonderfully disastrous speech.
Basically, I used the awesome speech technique of silence and blew away my audience at how expertly I could stand at one spot and remain quiet. I even managed a “Good afternoon everyone, my topic is If clothes were made of paper or cardboard”. Yes, I was such a natural on stage.
The disasters don’t just stop there. Next week, in Geography, we’re doing “Roleplays of Teenage Subgroups”. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? Some ingenious person in my group suggested that we tried to act as “Lads”. And the other ingenious people in my group agreed. I was outvoted. Honestly, I don’t care what we do, as long as it is easy to do. Lads. Lads? What the heck are Lads???
Apparently, they are the guys who wear those polo shirts (with their collars put up like they’re some devilishly handsome guys), baggy tracksuit pants, Nike TNs and caps. I sort of have an idea who they are. But seriously though. Lads? Why lads? This is the complete list of “subgroups” my class came up with: Jocks, Hobos, Westies, Preppies, Emo, Surfies, Nerds, Wogs, Gangsters, Lads, Boho, Hippies and Bimbos. Half of them, I haven’t even heard of. Well, I have, just didn’t know what they were called. I’d rather be a Hippie than a Lad. Or even a Jock. They are easy to be.
And apparently, this role-play is gonna be “fun”. Yes. Fun!

Challenges!!
Challenges as in, you know those layout/blend/icon competitions that other sites have. So yeah. Please join! And have fun!! Ok, going a little psycho on the exclamation marks!!!! Click here for more details. I still haven't decided on the award yet. Since I don't have the "advertising" thing, I can't give that as an award. I don't know. What kind of an award should I give? Apart from the little graphic saying that you came first, second or third. And because this is the first time I'm doing it, there can be quite a lot of changes in the arragement of things.
I'll probably need at least 8 entries before I "judge" so yeah. Now I'm just lost for words.
Ok, so, my site's a bit empty and I guess this thing is like a desperate attempt for some action going on around here. But really though, I would love to see some great graphics without me having to actually go find it. Oh I know, I could like have a little "hall of fame" section for the winners for every challenge. I have to warn you guys though, I am a bit picky/fussy when it comes to these. It has to really stand out and be almost flawless to be chosen as the winner.
I will keep reminding everyone of this challenge in every update until I get bored. The closing date will be 16th July or until I get my minimum 8 entries.
I shall now comment on totally random stuff about my surroundings. My hands are freezing. The TV is on and I'm not even watching it. Ooh, the minute hand on my clock has just moved! I've never seen it do that! Like right before my eyes. Wow, I'm just so bored and sad aren't I? I'm hungry. I feel like noodles. But I'll probably have to eat rice and....let's see.... (going to kitchen)...ooh I see noodles!!! Yes! My mum can read my mind. Oh dang, my folder's on the floor and a heap of paper is formed around it. If that even made sense. The heater is on. Wow, didn't notice that before. Better go turn that off. There is deodorant (did I speel that right?) on the computer table. How very odd. Must be my mum. My keys are right in front of me. And a sharpie. And cling wrap....what the? Ok, I've got to go before I just go nuts.
Please join the challenges!! There's 3 of them. A layout, blend and icon. Go to the visitors section and you'll find challenges there:)
Oh and new affiliates. Check under the "updates" section. And an elite!! CVisitChictastic

Lots of Blogs in One
All of a sudden, I have so many things to talk about. Very strange, I know. But the issues are not exactly related so I've categorised it under new headings. Scroll to whichever tickles your fancy:)
Twilight
I now know exactly what annoys me about Twilight. I mean, I'm still well and truly addicted to it and I am looking forward to reading the 4th book (as menitoned in the previous blog). But I've always felt something was missing. Like, I wasn't sure but I know there's just something that irks me; just 1% in me is just so over the hype and just plain irritated. I've never known what it is that' causing the reaction.
Until now. Now, I can pinpoint and venyt my annoyance. I am annoyed at people who read it because everyone else is. The people who didn't bother reading anything eles for that matter and start getting all psycho about the book (which they probably used to hate) because they don't want to be left out of the conversation. Some are just reading it becaue it's "cool".
Like seriously, have the guts and brain to have your opinion and not succumb to the trends. I'm not a hypocrite by claiming this because I read it ages before them. Back when I was reading it, hardly anyone knew about it, let alone obsess about it. So I had to like sit there and shut up about it because no one knew about it and I couldn't discuss it. It was like a secret I wanted everyone to know of. Now everyone knows the secret and goes around parading it like they're some experts on it when they probably have no idea what some of the words in there even mean! Well, there are some good Twilight-fans but still. I just think those jsut getting into the fad of reading Twilight are try-hards. They don't read it for the beauty of the story; they read it to be in on the hype.
Prince Caspian
He is so gorgeous!!!! I mean, Ben Barnes, the guy who plays him. I went to watch it last Friday and just absolutely fell in love with it, Prince Caspian and Edmund Pevensie. Yes, Edmund. He's all grown-up and all....I don't how to say it. Hot isn't exactly right. Cute was when he was in the first movie. I think he's better looking than Peter, his brother in the film. Like, Peter just looks ugly. And the guy who plays Peter has a boring name: William. William Mosely. Like, so totally un-original and plain. Edmund has a hotter name: Skandar. Skandar Keynes. It's a very cool name.
It's so good I'm going to say that it's the best movie of this month. This month becasue I have to remember that Harry Potter 6 is coming out. Yeah, as well as Twilight. My favourtie part of the movie is when Edmund goes up to Miraz (the King of Telamarines...I don't know how to spell that) and corrects him about his title when he called him Prince Edmund: "It's King Edmund, actually. Just King though. Peter's the High King." And he goes on to say "I know it's confusing."
And the kiss! Gosh, I'm jealous! Although, I knew it from the start they were gonna be paired up. They as in Prince Caspian and Susan Pevensie. Oh and little Lucy has grown up. But she is still so cute.
Next week, I'm going to Speed Racer. I might talk about that next time.
House
Did anyone see the last episode of House? House, the drama series. Yeah, I know it's probably shown ages ago. Anyways. How sad was it? Like, I almost cried. And I never cry or come close to crying in movies, tv shows or books. I'm not a crier. I don't get emotional, or more like I know how to conceal my emotions really well.
But I was so sad watching the last episode of House. I won't try to spoil it for those who haven't seen it (for some strange reason) but it was just the most touching episode ever. That's it really. Nothing more to say. Just that I thought it was the best episode of House to date:)
Sport: Stupid People
Long story short (because my hands are tired and I need to finish my PE homework). At Sport today (I chose badminton), some selfish b@#$hes snatched the rackets out of me when I had made to effort to get to the venue faster and get the rackets for my friends. Like they took their own sweet time chit-chatting about whatever shit they did on the long weekend and my friends and I went the extra mile (literally) to walk to the place where we play on time. And they had the freaking nerve to snatch away the rackets that I had already taken from the bag and shouted at them it was for my group. Like, you know, if they fear they wouldn't get a racket and a court then shouldn't they make sure they get there on time? First come, first serve!!!
And last week, some of them didn't manage to get a racket (the slow walkers but not the racket snatchers) went to whinge about the teacher about how they never get a racket. The teacher had to re-group us and give us a lecutre, making us look guilty. Like seriously, why make a mountain out of a molehill? They couldn't just ask politely to the people for rackets, could they? That's how I did. After a good 20 mintues, I asked soemone if I could have a turn and she gave it to me. It's such an easy thing and the slow walkers made us look like we were some evil b@#$hes that didn't share. And when they asked for some rackets, no one offered! I did. But no one offered after me. Until it became all awkward and then they did. Argh.........Just so hate the Year 8s (even though I've been there before)!
Breaking Dawn
I read the first chapter!!! It was freaking awesome!!! But it wasn't enough. I wanted more. I couldn't sleep after reading it. I was thinking of all the possible events following the first chapter. Then I got depressed when I concluded that Breaking Dawn was going to be the last book. It is, isn't it? Like, Bella gets turned and they live happily ever after? And that stupid Jacob should stay wherever he is. He just wrecks everything! Who does he think he is? Toying with Bella's head and making her doubt her love for Edward.
And Bella. Who does she think she is? Like as if this pale-looking, vulnerable little sickly girl could ever be attractive to Edward. Like, why her? Why Bella? What is it that makes her so special apart from the fact that Edward can't read her thoughts. I'm not a big fan of Bella and I'm reading the Twilight series. Very weird, I know. Well, I only read it because of Edward.
Initially, I thought it was quite boring,(I think I've talked about this) when she talked about moving to Forks blah, blah, blah. Then Edward came along. Then I became addicted to it. But I do know that Edward is NOT REAL. I do, okay? I just wished he was real. Robert Pattinson isn't enough. Actually, I take that back. Robert is enough. He is the epitome of all things dangerously gorgeous and smoulderingly exquisite. Hah, what the hell did that mean??? Yeah, Robert is as good as Edward. And he's real! Bonus!
LOL.

Questions
[EDIT]OMG!!!!!!! Did anyone see the new cover of Breaking Dawn? Ah!!!! I was like hyperventilating like crazy. Well, truth was, I actually went, "Wow, cool cover. Hmm....does it mean Bella becomes a vampire?" Yeah, I think the Twilight saga is dying on me. That being said, I still want to buy it. I'm gonna try and ask my parents to pre-order for me. Or simply buy it for my birthday. Although, it's too long. Like my birthday's on the 29th August and it comes out on the 2nd so by the time I read it, everyone will already have moved on or be trying to tell me what happened and how it ended. Which I so totally HATE. Anyways. Does anyone know the website in which the whole of the first chapter of Breaking Dawn is shown? Not the preview but the whole thing. Apparently, my friend's read it and she forgot the link. Ok, obsessing session done.[/EDIT]
So how is everyone? Yeah, ok, I'm totally out of ideas to blog about. Well, how about I try to get to know the people who are always so kind to take a second out of their busy lives and read my useless little blog? Yeah? Questions to answer:
1. Just recently watched movie?
2. Ultimate pet peeve?
3. Obsessing about... (Don't you dare give me Twilight. Nah, I'm just joking:))
4. Favourite movie/trilogy of all time?
5. Favourite part of school? (There's got to be something....just one little thing)
6. A characterisitc you most want to have. (Like, you want to be funny or intellectual or outgoing etc.)
7. What are you most afraid of?
8. What would you like to see me blog about? i.e. What should I blog about?
Ok, I think that's about it. I won't waste your time any longer. Grr...It seems like everything I just wrote doesn't make sense. It is very weird.
Oh wait. Site updates. Yes. I've been so lazy.

I'm Annoyed
I'm annoyed, annoyed, annoyed!!! I'm annoyed by people who make fun of and criticise people that see the glass half full; as in the ever so optimistic people that can't help but always see the good and the positive in everything and everyone. Just because you're (not you, reading it) negative and have been dealt sh** in your life doesn't mean you should go vent your anger/frustration on some poor guy who just likes to embrace things and see the world through rose-coloured glasses. Like seriously!
I am one of the most negative people you could ever meet. But by negative, I mean, I'm negative about myself. (When it comes to seeing the good in others....I'm actually pretty good at it; I have no qualms whatsoever in believing that everyone has their good and bad points.) I have low self-esteem, I don't think much of myself, I doubt myself and the list goes on. But I don't go telling people off or bringind them down for being so optimistic and confident that everything's going to be a-okay, you know.
Like, I'd say good on him/her for being able to muster up such confidence and guts to whole-heartedly believe that nothing bad is gonna ever happen. I for one think that's a very admirable quality. Although, I have to admit, I know I can get a tad bit annoyed by constantly hearing how wonderful life is going to be blah, blah, blah. Maybe even jealous that he/she can willingly say that their day is going to be fantastic. But I would never ever want to rain on their parade and laugh at them for being naive or, maybe even innocent. Like, just leave them alone. Yes, you can voice your opinions and stuff but don't, you know, destroy them or force them to be negative....OK, once again, I'm not actually referring to you the reader.
I mean, the world needs optimistic people. Not by the millions but like 1 in every 50 negative ones. You know, just to lift the mood and balance out the negativity. The optimistic people will be the tiny, barely-there thread of hope to hold on to when and if disaster strikes the Earth and the human population goes into extinction. I could so imagine myself with the optimistic friend of mine sitting beside me as we watch the vampires (well, that's the only thing that pops into my mind when thinking of a superpredator that eats humans...yeah, I know, way too much Twilight) finish off the last 3 humans in the world, excluding us, (yeah, and for some reason, the friend of mine and me are the last 2 people on Earth) and start their journey to us. My friend would go "Oh cheer up, Alyson. At least it's not Earth exploding and us flying into space or the continents flooding because of too much water from the North and South Poles melting. At least we are of some use to them. Because of us, their hunger is satisfied. That's gotta count right? Plus, you could always think of Edward Cullen. I mean, you would sacrifice anything for him, yeah? For him and his kind, but especially for him, to live, you would happily give your life, wouldn't you?"
I mean, really, how can argue to that?!!??!
Sorry for the little rant. No I don't think it counts as a rant because it's too weak; I have seen and heard much better ones that can really ignite feelings and thoughts in you and make you be all passionate about. Still, sorry anyways, I just felt like blabbing. But really, I'm procrastinating; I'm using this as an excuse not to do my homework. If mum goes "Why didn't you do your work?", I'd go "Cos I had to blog. Duh"

Titles are stupid...
I got my Maths results back. Cue drumroll. Or not. Um, well, I guess to others, my results might seem alright. But to me...it's kinda shitty and not my best. Like I could've had 2 more marks if I had my head screwed on right (ok, yeah, I don't have any idea what that expression mean...but I like it and I don't care if it's used out of context....just pretend that it isn't) and actually re-checked my work, I would have avoided the mistakes. But I've gotten over it and it's all good. Still, I know that this isn't my best Maths mark and my parents aren't going to be too happy. Well, that is if I actually tell them my results....which, heck no, I'm not going to. Even I'm not too pleased with what I got. So naturally, my parents would be worse than disappointed.
I got 5 wrong overall, which is like 92%. And apparently, I ranked in 3rd in my class (I'm only like 2 more marks away from the 1st girl in the class...see the 2 marks does make a difference) Yeah, you reading this will definitely go..."Oh are you kidding me? It's just freaking 5 marks! Get over it! You should be so happy..." yadda, yadda, yadda. I just....meh. I just know I could have done better though. And losing 5 marks isn't good enough. Especially if you're an Asian. You know, the stereotypical nerd-of-an-Asian who is like freakishly smart and does Maths in her sleep. Yeah, that's me. Well, that used to be me. Now I'm just....well, I'm just an average Asian nerd.
I'm not going to dwell on that any further because I might actually cry like a baby for having a not-too-good mark. Just joking. Um. Well, there's nothing much going on in my life, come to think of it. I've sort of deserted my Wii Fit and probably will get a little TV lecture from the Board (people who have it will know what I'm talking about). And I'm slacking off with site updates. Like, when I was free I'd done so much stuff: blends, icons, blah; but I can't be bothered actually putting it up on my site.
Also, I'm sort of planning on submitting my site for reviews but I'm too afraid my site's not good enough or I might actually close my site down because of the criticism. I keep telling myself that I don't care about what people say and I don't get easily affected, blah, blah, blah. But the truth is I usually get obsessed with some particular comments (generally, not about my site) and bring myself down with negativity. Oh gosh. I'm having a writer's block now. Yikes. Um. Well...yeah, I....just....yeah. Um. Just, well....argh...I think I'm just going to end it here and re-watch some of the Gossip Girl episodes, just cos I feel like it.

Getting Wii-eally Fit
Wow, first of all...I think I hit an all time high with my blog on Twilight. Like I think even one mention of it, people would just be so tempted to put their two cents worth about it. And I enjoyed reading all the opinions on it. So thank you very much.
It is also evident that I haven't been blogging much. Well, long story short: the tests didn't just stop at Maths. I even have a Geography one tomorrow, but I'm not too worried about that one because I'm not actually planning on acing it anyway.
Tests aside, I have just gotten the new Wii Fit game (I know, how extremely tacky is the "pun" in the title). On Saturday. And already I have lost a grand total of 500 grams just by jogging along with my little Wii!!! I'm just bursting with pride at my amazing achievement. Although, I could use some help with my Wii Fit Age and my balance (apparently, my centre of gravity is slightly to the right and that I must make sure when I walk, I walk on my whole feet and not just my heel).
And ohmigod, Gossip Girl is coming to an end. Sob. Now I'm over it.
Yeah, I don't really feel like writing much....I might add on to this story when I feel like it.
Oh and do I really have to mention the obvious?? xD
