Tis the season to be jolly....

FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LAAAA.

Can you believe it? Just two days to Christmas! It feels like July right now, but the Christmas tree over here proves otherwise.

I'm at my cousins' house in Kampung TImah, Perak, and we're-- they're-- watching a Chinese soap thing. Kinda involves martial arts and some stuff, but eh. It's cool.

Presents are under the tree, but I get to open mine early, cause I'M COMING BACK TO SUBANG!!! :D

Tomorrow me and my mami are taking the bus early in the morning. (hopefully AFTER the AI:8 rerun XD)

Wahhhhh. Christmas. The time for giving, receiving, and most of all, sharing. I'd love to post a scary-long post on the importance of Christmas right now, but unfortunately, my PC time is limited to 9:30.

*checks* Ten minutes to go then. Better finish up mah FB business. Ahahah.

Well, I'd like to say one thing for now: Reminisce.

Tis the time to look back, and remember all those great memories you've gained over the years, around this special time of year. My favourite thing to do during Christmasses (and the cookies, oh the cookies)

Busying myself right now with "How The Irish Did It" and "Winter Pieces", two short stories I'm going to write soon for January. Hopefully I'll finish with the Irish one first. Those lads are running around in my mind madly, wanting to be let out soon.


Ahh. My time's up. Gotta go now. Blog ya laterrr.


Cheers, and a Merry Xmas.

Helloooo. I haven't blogged in a while. Mind's been occupied with summat, so it mighta been that a way.

Irvine Welsh's tendencies of sorting a Scottish accent 'as been befitting onto meself. It's rather catchay, goes to say. 'Specially since them trainspotters got nuthin' to it, en Sick Boy's a lad of many teelants. Ahah.

Okay, okay, stopping now. XD Trainspotting's narrative is just a whisrlwind of peculiar accents, spellings and pronunciations.

BTW, just watched some parts of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core on Youtube. Practically bawled my eyes out after seeing Zack die. Man, was Cloud upset. They were best friends. *sniff* Poor Cloud. No wonder he becomes all emo in Advent Children.





A preview for ya lovely lads en lassies. Lol.

OOH, OOH. I balik kampung on Tuesday, so I won't be here for maybe a week or so? Well, it'll be good to see the old gang again. My former best friend/cousin/banana/happy fruit 99, can't wait to see her. ADVENTURES AHOY. MWAHAHAHA.

I miss Bambi. She's the dog. She's the cutest thing ever. And she wards off mean cats. :D

And, now, I shall stop rambing, and just add some more nonsense.


WHY DID SQEENIX KILL HIM OFF NOOOOOO. ARGHHH. HUMBUG.


Cheers.

Okay, so I totally fail. At this. Thing. Called. NaNoWriMo.

I FAILZ.

THE HORRORRRZ.

: O


Well, it was expected that I wouldn't live through NaNoWriMo anyways.

Sorry, my dear boys. I'm afraid you have to wait till the next November to become fully fledged characters.

Jeremy, stop glaring. Mikey, stop squeezing James to death. He needs to mourn too. And Nick, I see you're taking this well? Oh, she's came after you, then? My bad.

Yes, I talk to my book characters. It helps me establish things. Like how Nick came to meet with a very real-life inspired person called Clo... okay, really, the book-her will kick me if I reveal any details. And how James got that scar on his shoulder. Which, of course, is not relevant to the story anyway, but still is interesting.

Next year, I will start again. And that time, I will finish it.

I WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

I promised.




Nat.


PS JEREMY BELLMONTE! Stop bloomin' yelling at that poor private! He's already having to deal with Yvette, non? Then, quit it! Mios Dio, that boy!

Yes, Mikey. I never cease to amaze.

I'm Ready

I remember those days, when I was younger, my mum and I would sit in the living room, listening to old CDs on this black radio that we've lost already. There was this one CD I really loved, and this one song I really loved. Such a simple song, really.

But still, now, it makes so much more sense to me, listening to it again today.

In spite of everything that's happened this year, I can finally say those two words.



I'm Ready - Tracy Chapman.




I want to wake up and know where I'm going
Say I'm ready
Say I'm ready


I want to go where the rivers are overflowing and
I'll be ready
I'll be ready to let the rivers wash over me
I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

If the waters can redeem me
I'm ready
I'm ready

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me
I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me

I want to wake up
I want to know where I'm going
I want to go where the rivers are over-flowing

I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me
I'm ready
I'm ready ...

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Find out what the people have to say.

Taken from: Chuck's Musings



SARAH PALIN: Before it got to the other side, I shot the chicken, cleaned and dressed it, and had chicken burgers for lunch.

BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it wartime for a change! The chicken wanted change!

JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.

GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either against us or for us. There is no middle ground here.


DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?

COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE: I invented the chicken.

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now and will remain against it.

AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken doesn’t realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.

OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed
access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he’s guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer’s Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.

GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart-warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken 2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken 2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never crash or need to be rebooted.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
