Wow. It's been quite a long time since I updated, hasn't it? It seems quite short to me, actually - proving that time is going by so quickly for me nowadays. Oh! And this is the first post of the year too! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Though I am not very excited for 2009... New year, new school, new friends, and I don't even want to think about the important results-getting-back-session this month.

NOT THINKING ABOUT IT. NOT THINKING ABOUT IT.

Anyway, I watched Australia the other day and I think it's pretty good! I love the scenery, the romance (of course), the plot, the horses, and Hugh Jackman. Teehee. My mum agrees with me on that. There are a few good scenes of his half-naked, and whenever they showed it, my mum would giggle. Goodness. Not that he doesn't have a nice chest - on the contrary, actually - but it was kind of... hairy. Erm. But... it was quite... a decent chest, I suppose. Er. Okay, enough of this topic, I don't know why I am talking about Jackman's chest anyway...

All right! Just thought I'd drop by to wish you all a Happy Belated Christmas and a Happy New Year! ♥

The Day the Earth Stood Still is an great, terrible, movie that has got me thinking about all sorts of strange things. Not that I have never thought about strange things, but the stupid movie made things bombard my head till I hardly could sleep. Needless to say, I am not happy about that.

My tutor, whom I have not seen since the exams ended, used to tell me how he believed that aliens walked among us. Also, he told me that he was one himself. It is doubtful, but now I am beginning to think that humans can't possibly be the only so-called 'civilised' species there is in the universe, and thus, there must be aliens - or something similar to that. Amongst these thoughts, I saw the news that day, and they were saying something about Mars having carvings of faces on the ground. I did some research, and combined with ideas the stupid movie has given me, I have come up with a couple of theories.

Of course, none of them are actually scientifically proven, and are just my theories. All are possible though, considering that the size of the universe to the Earth has the same ratio of the Earth to a coin.

I. There are aliens. Humans don't know it because while we think we are so clever, these aliens are smarter and are actually laughing at humanity's stupidity. You know what they say: Who are a little wise, the best fools be - John Donne, "The Triple Fool". Ignore the Literature stuck in my head despite exams being over. They think we are primitive, and all we do is to survive on a water-logged planet in the backwaters of some obscure galaxy - and so, they don't bother to even convince us of their existence at all.

II. They live among us. Now, this one is a little scarier than the previous. And they don't bother telling us that they exist because firstly, we'd try to kill them, secondly, they are peace-loving, and thirdly, they think we are too dumb to understand. So sometimes, when they get too poor and still want some place to go, they take a holiday to our humble planet, Earth. My tutor has his theories about how they live in the deepest parts of the ocean so that we cannot detect them.

III. Aliens used to be us. Now getting a little freakier, huh? Let me explain. You know how fish evolved into monkeys and monkeys turned into us? Yes, but what if we would one day evolve into aliens? Humans think that they are at the top of the food chain, but they are wrong, and actually, aliens are the ones that top us all - being more advanced and all, like how we are to our ape friends.

IV. We are the aliens. Based on my research, Mars shares many similarities to Earth, despite being smaller. Mars used to have the same climate as we have now, showing that it used to be able to support life. One day is 24 hours on Earth, and likewise, one day is about 24 hours on Mars too - due to things like the axis tilt and all that. So... what happened is that, we all used to live on Mars, and one day, because of the destructive natures of humankind, Mars dries up and loses it life-supporting capability. When it loses its magnetic field, we are dead because we would be open to solar winds and cosmic rays and all that. Since we are aliens, we decide to move to Earth, the next life-supporting planet. (Venus is inhabitable due to the high concentrations of sulphur and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.) Somehow, we forget who we were, and the others, who decided not to go to Earth, are now the aliens that we speak of. Also, something else to take note of is that history might be repeating itself. You know, global warming and all? Now we are killing Earth.

Oh my. My theories do not seem to be showing humans in a good light at all... Would that mean that we are destructive, violent, planet-murderers?

Aside from this, I think I am quite convinced that besides us, there are other living organisms in the universe. I mean, we can't be the only ones, right?

Inspiring music to listen to, especially helpful when one is in a bit of a struggle - namely, me getting so so annoyed with my sister that I cannot help but envision stabbing her with the fork during dinner. Of course I did not such thing, but it was incredibly tempting.

Yes, I do have my violent tendencies, but it's difficult to hold your temper in check when my sister is concerned. All I did was to ask her to wait for me before playing the movie, but no... Princess had to pretend I did not exist and happily play the movie. By the time I went out, half the movie had went past. What was most annoying, was when I questioned her, she pretended nothing happened. How amazingly infuriating.

So... Tomorrow is the last day of our one week break, and I am trying not to hyperventilate when I think of the week ahead of me. It is because, unfortunately, we are going to get back our results.

What I did during the short holiday was quite... well-rounded, if I do say so myself. I studied, wrote, made stuff, went out, and had fun. I even tried my hand at scrap booking - okay, that was because my mother was kind enough to offer to pay for the materials so that I could make a scrapbook commemorating (... I am not sure if that is the right word to use. Haha.) my last year before going on to college. And this is a reminder, if you have not heard of my appeal yet, that if you have any photographs of yourself/classmates, send them to me.

And, before letting my egoistic self take over and posting yet more pictures of my... err... beading stuff, I want to say that I really like this song - which is from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron - because it reminds me so much of life. I think it really encourages us not to give up no matter how wounded we are, because even if we have nothing left, we cannot afford to lose ourselves. Okay, I know this is not a Literature exam so I will stop here. XD

( And an interesting passage on what my name means... :/ )

Yeah, I could do that; if I can find some calm within myself and not be annoyed over the stupid Mozilla Firefox which refuses to give me back my nice, pink, golden, shiny customised theme upon updating itself. How irritating. But, I will attempt to look on the bright side of things by reminding myself that today was the end of my exams - and, I have a week of holidays next week! Of course, once back to school is to starting slogging for O'Levels, but I will pretend I don't know that - for now, at least.

Due to the hell that is called exams, I actually got my first eyebag in my entire life... It is, of course, not a good thing - and my mother actually offered to lend me her eye cream. By hook or by crook, I am going to have it gone by the end of the holidays. I know there's going to be more of the likes coming when it gets closer to my O'Levels, and that's why I want it off ASAP.

Nothing much has happened... Just exams and more exams. I am going to try and make some icons here and there, seeing that I get to take a break for a while. Oh, and another thing, I am going to try and learn flash, but judging from the tutorials I have seen, it's pretty hard...

Anyway, the most annoying news so far is that stalker has went and gotten himself an iPhone. And here am I, with my stupid phone that does not even belong to me, wondering what would have happened if I were more scheming and actually pretended to suck up to him or something of the likes... Not a good thought, but judging from his spendthrift tendencies, I'd say he's pretty rich. Of course I would not dare to do it, but it's a thought...

My mother promised me a camera if I did well for my O'Levels, though I would have to pay a little portion of it. Well, that's a start - judging from her reaction before, I am quite surprised she actually offered. The only thing to do now is to mug and study my butt off, and then get a job during the year-end holidays, and then hopefully do well. Sounds like a plan! :/

P.S. My new favourite quote; how amusing. (See above.)
