if you havent seen me around, its because i have been contributing substantially to the view counts of lady gaga's bad romance video on youtube. first saw it at conns' house on sat, didnt think i'd be this impressed but omg my eyes fell out. the concept is mad awesome, the art direction is good, the set is good, love the plot, costumes are jaw dropping. i have never watched music videos and i dont even know if beyonce's video is 'the best of all time' (sorry. had to make fun). never ever watched any of lady gaga's videos, not a big fan anyway. i hate the hair bow, very very very few can carry it off. saw this random girl with it and she looks like a fucking maltese. whats wrong with sticking to cloth/satin bows anyway? & 'i'm your biggest fan, i'll follow you until you love me', eww pop & overplayed / overused. but this video.. RESPECT.
i wouldnt waste my time on seeing someone's pretty face hover on the screen for like 2 mins of a 3mins long music video. and then that same pretty face will be flashing simultaneously for the next one minute, really heart-attack inducing stuff. and most of the time there would be some i'm-trying-to-be-hot-and-controversial kissing scenes. i dont need that in a music video, i can get that in Titanic (or in zouk). and i dont really need my songs to remind me of random said pretty faces sucking each others faces. (geddit?)
lady gaga's was mind blowing. funny how a good video can make a mediocre song seem fantastic. the storyline is made of win (trafficking? bring it on), the diabolical references and subtle actions all fit in the plot and video so well. and it doesnt hurt that she looks sooo fucking hot. thinspiration anyone? dont even get me started on the costumes, McQueen all over? STEAMMMM. product placement yes, but come on, if its McQueen couture, it aint a product, its art (cringe-worthy but you know its so oh oh oh true. cue nodding heads) the bat headgear, the McQueen dress, white latex suits, the costume jewellery (wow). i dislike sm / bondage clothing (makes you look like a fucking mummy, by that i mean the egyptian kind) but the red latex number near the end is ownage as well.
and THAT polar bear furcoat. God i think i found my wedding dress.
its too bad that this song will be butchered and all over bugis street in 3 seconds, or blasting on MRT ah beng's zhng-ed phone & 'i want your love, i want your revenge, you and me, could write a bad romance' will be tweeted all over the world / appearing on your crush's msn nick / haunting you in your online dreams. sad, but you and i both know its just waiting to happen. |

xc drew me on his itouch, complete with red/black hair! i'm mighty amused and i love the picture loads. he started drawing at hatched all the way to mustafa and at ikea he was still drawing on the small little itouch - using fingers, no less. HAHA completely unrelated is the picture of me in a beanie, hilarious stuff. i might buy it just for laughs, looks like a monster sitting on my damn head. will be at misshapes, velvet, after conns' party. cant wait. obviously i'll be in a drunken state again, haha kidding kidding. say hi people! go go go! |

2 hours into doing the improvisation essay and i've only typed 200 words! carina you are super damn zai! anyways yesterday was spent at hatched visiting my dearest cheongster. we ate many eggs and toast and we sneakily took a few pictures of her hard at work (thumbs up) and then after that was ikea to eat ten million chicken wings and ten million meatballs and then after that we went down to conn's and lulu's where we ate somemore and alot more, plus wine and beer. banana chocolate cake and spring roll (main components of my stomach) and played some mahjong. we watched sister's keeper but nobody cried (i was winning at mahjong then thats why) and we watched a spanish zombie show without subtitles. but so awesome, love it. i watched this guy's arteries kenna bitten off (many thumbs up) i lost $3.60 in mahjong. reached home at 4am.
heard 'stolen' by dashboard confessional in j's car on e way home. my long lost favourite song from eons ago. used to listen to Dashboard Confessional (who could forget 'vindicated') and Yellowcard ('only one', everybody can sing that) & Linkin Park. this all seems such a long time back, when it was just 5 years ago. and i liked Dashboard because this boy i had a crush on likes them as well. and his favourite song then happens to be 'vindicated' HAHAHAHA embarassing teenage angst and mini crushes of the past. sigh, dont we all?
and then i went on to Mew, Cocorosie, Deathcab, Bright Eyes, Au Revoir Simone, Stars ('heart' all time fav),
and after, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bloc Party, Digitalism, Justice, LCD Soundsystem, Chemical Brothers,
till now, La Roux, Patrick Wolf, Foamo, Phoenix, Lykke Li, Bloody Beetroots, Mstrkrft, Cystal Castles, Diplo,
wonder what i will listen to in a few years time, maybe Bach and Mozart. or God knows maybe still stuck in electro
i guess for now, 'stolen' is still on repeat
you have stolen my,
you have stolen my,
you have stolen my heart. |

funny how certain songs trigger certain memories. happy ones, sad ones, bittersweet ones, some memories that you left so far behind you cant even remember when it took place. but you do remember the way it felt, the sights, the sounds, the smells. the thoughts that were once running through your mind. maybe it is a consolation, when everything feels familiar again and there's something to hold on to while everything's spinning out of control. and maybe when you close your eyes, you can go back to how it once was. maybe.
a little update, i have visibly red hair now! and a million times yes, i was a brinjal on halloween. seriously. i wanted to be a pumpkin but expensive orange satin VS cheap purple satin made me turn into a brinjal instead. and i'm rather happy about my brinjal costume. at least there werent 10 other brinjals on halloween. and i'm not exactly sexy enough to wear something low cut, midriff baring (might turn some people blind) if you have been going as a witch / fairy / you yourself (scary enough) for the past 10 halloweens then dont come critisizing my costume you boring piece of stupid shit. anyways next year i'm going as a stalk of asparagus SO BITE ME.
and and and i'm going to try a little something. i'm going to send something to people who give me their addresses (through commenting, text, phone, telepathy) i will send letters, sweets, or a small random gift (not a television set, i aint got that moolah), anything that pops into my mind when i think of you. this is because i like letters, i like writing letters and i like receiving letters. and i believe everyone loves it too, no matter how much email and technology (god i hate that word) has taken over your lives. i always write letters to express what i cannot say, plus lately it seems that everyone around me is depressed (could be the heat or the urgent need to find 'sentosa cove' from macs and win that 50K - i'm feelin ya) you can be a total stranger, an acquaintance, a good friend, someone from work/school, family, random person that needs some cheering up, whatever. you can remain anonymous if you want (but please dont haha). as long as you give me your address i'll send you something :)
oh and btw, comments are screened, so no worries abt stalkers! love yall <3 |
