Word of the Week - Change
Change. noun.
- The process or an instance of passing from one form, state, or stage to another, as in Chooiyen changing from a not-so-mean person to a very, very mean person.
I wasn't this mean before, you know.
It started with those subtle clues that there wasn't as much nice-ness as before.
Guy1 brings iPod to school.
Chooiyen doesn't have an iPod.
So she had to (not very wisely) say, "I hope your iPod gets confiscated."
Guy2 wants to ask a girl he really likes to prom.
Guy2 dissed Marilyn Manson, whom Chooiyen thinks is genius.
So she had to (not very wisely) say, "I hope when you ask her, she happily rejects you."
But worse still is when I start thinking in that horibble, horibble vengeful manner.
I can go ahead and say it's "giving people a taste of their own medicine", to "cure their personality problems", but really, it's just a longer way of saying "I want revenge!!!!".
You remember this episode in That's So Raven, when this popular girl stooped real low and totaly humiliated Raven in front of the whole school, so Raven came up with a revenge-plan, only to stop inches away from succeeding, 'cause she felt awfully bad about it?
You know, if Raven does it the way that girl did it, Raven would be just as bad as her, and that's worse than losing the battle.
But hahaha, Raven I am not.
So, thinking back, I probably have been extremely mean lately. (But that person started it first!)
You'd think after so long, I'd be immune to all the weird (lack of better adjectives) things he/she does. But nahhhh, it really only made my tolerance level go down down down.
It did seem like an okay idea, you know, 'cause eventhough I don't care much about that person, I do want him/her to change his/her weird (lack of better adjectives) ways, plus you have the satisfaction of thinking, "Hahaha I changed him/her! Now people no longer cannot-stand him/her, 'cause I did what I did!"
But, in retrospect, it was a pretty dumb thing to do. I mean, we've stooped just as low as her, maybe even lower. He/She did it because he/she is just the kind of person who does things like that; we (more appropriately, I) did it because I was in a spiteful mood (poorly cleverly disguised as "giving him/her a taste of his/her own medicine", "cure him/her of his/her personality problems").
It's also a dumb thing to do because it didn't work well - he/she is still the weird (lack of better adjectives) person he/she has always been.
Waste of time only.
So if you are him/her (if you are then you'd most probably wouldn't know, hahaha \lame laugh\), thousand apologies, I feel very bad.

I have another tv show to look forward to now - 'Rockstar: Supernova'!
If I ever have to turn into a homosexual and fall in love with a woman, it'd have to be Patricia, one of the contestants.
She stood there, singing into the camera, and oh it was so intense, it was wonderful.
Unlike the other blondies there in ultra short skirts, repeating the same ultra simple strumming pattern on the guitar, trying to come off as a rocker chick. And then they start prancing around, and their voice sounds so watery, and it makes you wonder how they can ever head a dirrrrty rock band (as quoted, okay) like Supernova.
Never ever.
My mom started screaming at me to get my butt up and start doing something productive, and I didn't get to finish till the end of the show. So I have no idea if anyone from Asia got into the finals.
But logic and common sense tells me, No, none of the finalists could be surnamed Lim or Wong or Tan or Leong or called Muthusamy or Ahmad or any other Asian names.
And, you know, even if the show got a little boring at times, you could always watch Dave Navarro. He's pretty much always nice to watch.
At least he looks better than Randy Jackson or Simon Cowell or Paul Moss or that Malay guy judge. Abang-something.

How do you come up with different birthday celebration ideas when 8 of your friends all have their birthdays within a week of each other?
More importantly, how do you keep from using up all of your allowance, and then your ang pao money for the birthdays?
