25 Things

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person that tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.


1. People say that I am for the love, and let it be. My purpose is to love others without fail, to give even when it hurts. This I shall do.


2. My talking speed is rather fast. Irrespective of what the situation may be, irrespective of the language used.


3. I am in the midst of developing a series, Les Histoires Duchemin.


4. I don't mind singing and/or making music in front of people, but if I know they're out to get me, or if at some point in time they've pejoratively spoken about people like me, I hesitate to play in front of them.


5. I have minor scoliosis. For the uninitiated, it means my spine is slightly curved to the side.


6. I have a very vivid imagination. I can see whole scenes and choreography playing in my head (as in the case of EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE/.).


7. I am very shy around others because I don't know how to explain the things I love doing. This especially applies when I wanna speak about my passion for drums.


8. I used to talk to myself a lot (thinking out aloud). Some people did indeed think I was bonkers.


9. I was the oddest person in the class back in high school and in A-Levels. I didn't really have anyone to click with.

10. I am able to draw, imagine myself playing drums and listen to the lecturer in class at the same time. This has really happened in my first year of LLB - I was able to answer the lecturer's questions. But I must do less of this...

11. I have an incessant urge to beat on stuff. I began having this passion for drums when I was just three years old. Mom was the one who introduced rhythm to me. If I were to assume there were "primitive" and "evolved" drummers, I'd fall into the "primitive" category for two reasons : 1) I've a long way to go, 2) I somehow get moved even by simple rhythms. Yet, the strange thing is that I imagine myself drumming... in a dress. ^_^
12. People call me a tech geek - not because of anything else except the way I use Microsoft Office programmes. Well, it happened to me in National Service.
13. I eat little, but I eat frequently. I skip lunch often, though I grab a sandwich in the middle of it all. And it doesn't matter if it's just plain bread-and-butter. I eat anyway.
14. It's difficult for me to get bored when I'm at home. It's possible for me to get bored when I'm out shopping (which is ironic, I know, but yeah :P).


15. I love to dress up. : )
16. I cry a lot. This especially happens in my prayers.
17. I used to worry about what other people thought of me. I do still, but to a much lesser extent than before.
18. Almost every major thing I have, with the exception of my camera, comes in warm colours. My favourite colour is red.


19. I am more proficient in English than in any other language, but more often than not, my language of preference is French.
20. My idea of a perfect role-playing game is : 1) Few or no suggestive themes 2) Really good rendering and outlandish CGI 3) Really good music 4) Story that drives a point home and makes you cry 5) NO GLITCHES.
21. I sing in the shower. But most of us do that, don't we ? :P


22. I often look at myself, at my dreams and I feel old before my time.

23. I often listen to myself speak into the mic or in front of the mirror.
24. I am very shy and often run out of things to say, to the point that I prompt my friends to continue the conversation or ask me things.
25. And finally... uh, are we done yet ?

Letter meme

Dear Anthony,



I don't really know how to tell you this, but purple hedgehogs wanna destroy you. I think I realized it when I tripped on peanut butter under the bus and I saw you sit on my boyfriend. I'm sure you're masochistic enough to understand how awful you are. I'm returning your car, but I'll keep my virginity as a memory. You should also know that I never will forget that night and I'm scratching my butt as you read this.



Love always,


Annette.

Ten things about yourself.

Rules :
• Post these rules.
• Each tagged person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal/blog.
• Don't tag me back.

So, I'm tagging everyone in my watchlist, everyone in my reading list, everyone who passes by... everyone.

Here are the ten things about myself.

1. I hate figures. Simple adding/subtracting/multiplication/division is fine, beyond that is not.

2. I love music. What makes it even more special is because my mom was the person who shared it with me. (I'm saying "was" for a reason.) So everytime I play or I sing, I feel I have her in my heart.

3. I sketch everywhere - in my law textbooks, on my files, EVERYWHERE. There has not been a single textbook of mine which has been splashed with colour.

4. I dream of hitting the big stage one day. Sing under the name troisnyx*. Touch hearts. Unite people. I'd rather do that, than disunite families and throw people into prison in court.

5. Red is my favourite colour. It's bold, it stands out, and it's the colour of passion, of our very life blood.

6. I have a terrible mop of hair - which I'm thinking of restyling in a month's time.

7. I don't watch TV. At all. (Almost, actually.) The only shows I've truly watched were Doing Da Vinci (on Discovery), Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader ?, Horton Hears a Who !. But ever since mom passed away, I stopped watching TV.

8. I enjoy playing drums. The deeper the sound, the more my heart races.

9. I've had a habit of spoiling all my phone housings. There were two buttons missing on my previous housing. The current one is faulty too, such that if I don't hold back the Internet shortcut button, every other button I press takes me to the Internet browser.

10. And finally, I want to be free. (Take it in the sense that I want to liberate everyone too.)

Dear Key.

I don't really know how to tell you this, but I dislike you (troisnyx* : no, I don't). I think I realised it when I tripped on sesame seeds in your camping car and I saw you sit on Bill Clinton. I'm sure you're masochistic enough to understand how boring you are. I'm returning the pictures from LA to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory. You should also know that I never openly mocked Oprah Winfrey imitations.

In pain,
troisnyx*

This is the third time I got tagged in the entire year.

And I thought people only get tagged once a year, nan ?

I got tagged by Leithiga this time. And this time, it says...

* If you could spend one ringgit in 5 minutes, what would you spend on?
Donate it to charity. Or if I need something to munch on, I would grab myself a lollipop or three Mentos Minis.

* What is your most favorite thing to do?
Playing drums.

* What kind of news do you read?
Practically everything except the BizWeek section of The Star.

* What would you give up in return to eat all you want in the world and not get fat?
My shell-like existence. And think ; I’d rather give it up for a happier existence.

* Is there someone in your heart right now?
Quite a lot of people.

* Do you believe you can survive without money?
You were saying survival ? No !

* What are you afraid to lose the most?
My dad. We only have each other. That is what mom told me in her last few writings.

* What do you feel like doing right now?
Playing drums.

* If there's someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
I think I would.

* List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.
Cute, bubbly and comes up with a lot of ideas at the spur of the moment. =)

* What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
God-fearing, loving, patient, tolerant, willing to accept my dad to stay with us….

* What is the thing that will make you think he/she is bad?
Two timing, rudeness, swearing, calling me rude when I am not intending to be rude or sarcastic. Oh, and letting people down too. Now I bet someone has piqued the chilli.

* If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Mom’s pie. I love mom’s pie and I will be missing it for the rest of my life.

* If you had a choice to be rich or happy, which one would you pick?
I would rather happiness. Richness would come in its time. And then again, all the money in the world is not going to comfort me.

* If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?
My easy anger. My inability to express myself.Whenever there are people around me. See, when I am in that common room, all alone and I have my drum set to myself (or my keys to myself, for that matter), I just unwind and imagine myself to be one of the greatest of all time. Whenever I get out there, I have to be someone else.

* Who is the person that you can share all your problems with?
Jesus.

* How do you see yourself in 10 years time?
Hopefully able to have cut four albums and several more singles !

* What is the one thing you love about yourself?
The fact that there are people who love me.

* If you can bring only one thing along with you to another world, what would it be?
Nothing. Why should I ? After all, when I get to that other world, Jesus is already there. Mom is already getting that happiness from him. And when I get there, I will already be meeting mom, as well as my siblings Anselina and Anton. What more to ask for ?

* I tag……..
Okay. Let me think.
Shima. Salman. Chrishandra. Mei Yan L. Joanne J. Faris. Asyraf (TPK).

Tagadation, partie II

The rules:

1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player etc. on shuffle. 2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer. 3. You must write that song name down, no matter how silly it sounds. 4. Put any comments in brackets after the song name. 5. Put this on your blog.

1. If someone says, "Is this okay?" - Alizée- Lonely List (dadeedum...)

2. How would you describe yourself? - Tainaka Sachi - Kimi To No Ashita (Okay, what has describing myself got to do with a second person or a third person?)

3. What do you like in a guy/girl? - Alizée- Amélie M'a Dit (Okay. Good song. I would love the person to be a pillar of strength, someone who can be my shoulder to cry on, someone whom I can emulate when everyone says this world is so cruel.)

4. How do you feel today? - Alizée - JBG [James Bond Girl] (I so do not feel like a James Bond girl today.)

5. What is your life's purpose? - Alizée - Veni Vedi Vici (Hm... To come, to see and to conquer perhaps? After all, this song does feature Julius Caesar's all-famous quote.)

6. What is your motto? - Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto (Okay. Not too bad. I'd probably say that no one deserves to be abandoned, and everyone needs good care and helping hands. "In The Ghetto" talks about how an abandoned boy turns into a thief and a murderer just to get some food into his mouth. No one deserves to be like that.)

7. What do your friends think of you? - Alizée - Lui ou Toi (Hm. Is someone competing with me? For the fact that they say "Lui ou toi" [Him or you])

8. What do you think of your parents? - Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi - Yuna's Ballad (Comforting. Loving. Just like Yuna.)

9. What do you think about very often? - The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun (Things have only just begun. I've begun college life, I've begun to have a taste of pain, I've begun playing drums this year, Ressonnant has begun tasting national victory - 2008 is a year of firsts.)

10. What is 2+2? - Westlife - I Have a Dream (Now the song pertains to me, not the question. Next!)

11. What do you think of your best friend? - Emiro Shiratori - Melodies of Life (I love all my friends, and being with them gives me great joy.)

12. What do you think of the person you like? - Yoko Shimomura - Riku (Okay, so I had no idea the person I like has some element of darkness and enigma in him. Or her. Next!)

13. What is your life? - Ayumi Hamasaki - Above and Beyond (A life in which I dream to go above and beyond the "boundaries" which the typical Malaysians set.)

14. What do you want to be when you grow up? - Jonathan Brooke - I Try (Someone who believes in the joy and innocence of childhood. In other words, a good mother. Well, who can help but think of faith, and trust and pixie dust?)

15. What do you think of when you see the person you like? - Yoko Shimomura - Kairi III (Childhood memories.)

16. What will you dance to at your wedding? Yoko Shimomura - Dive into the Heart [Destati] (Trust me, this is not a tune to dance to. It involves high-pitched choir voices with a drone in D minor. Its tone is rather solemn. Never will I ever use this.)

17. What will they play at your funeral? - Nobuo Uematsu - Cloud's Theme (Cloud's theme is a combination of happy and enigmatic feelings, so I reckon that this is a null and void track too.)

18. What is your hobby/interest? - Coldplay - Clocks (Playing the piano and the drums, and singing. This track is sublime! I got it on piano but I am yet to master the drums before I attempt this.)

19. What is your biggest fear? - Alizée - Coeur Deja Pris (Losing someone who is very dear to me. Alizée sang this song to commemorate her first love, who had passed away some time ago. When I first heard this, I cried. It reminded me of my late siblings Anselina and Anton.)

20. What is your biggest secret? - Jordin Sparks - This Is My Now (I have a dream of breaking into the recording industry. And having that dream realised will mean that God has blessed me greatly.)

21. What do you think of your friends? - Tainaka Sachi - Disillusion (Sometimes, when seeing their antics, I feel disillusioned. Sometimes, I feel like I do not exist. And other times, I am disillusioned by the thoughts that cross my mind when I talk to them. Not their fault, really.)

22. What will you post this as? - Alizée - Parler Tout Bas (Good, so let us keep it all down low. Bring along a teddy bear, please.)

23. [OMITTED TEXT]

I tag...
No, I would not want to end up tagging Chrish again. Poor girl, she was like "crap!" when I tagged her. I tag... Tharshini, the person who began it.

I also tag Ahmad Faris. Stef. Leithiga. Lawrence.
