Of Surprises and Madness

Horoscope:

"You don't 'do' surprises. You plan surprises -- for other people -- but in your own life, everything's planned and accounted for. Aw, come on! What fun is that? Let yourself be surprised and you'll like what you see."

Plan surprises? Yep, I love doing that... But letting myself be surprised..? The surprise will have to come first >_<>_<

I would ramble a lot more about this area... but hmm. Nah...

Okay, this is weird. I've had a friend prompt me to update... And the first thing I talk about is my horoscope of the day. ^^;;

Hot: Okay, this is one thing I've been complaining a lot about... The weather is just ghastly recently... I leave the house feeling ultra warm in the morning... and by the time I finish strolling to the MRT station I'm perspiring like a mad pig. (Do pigs sweat a lot?) Of course, I suspect it's something to do with my semi-crazy sweat glands of late... but I shall blame part of it on the weather anyway >_<

Unfit: Alright, alright, so that's the other reason to my overactive sweat glands.. Hm, so what else is new? The whole world knows I'm unfit, but I shall say it anyway.

I'm unfit.

Like, majorly. I've had the urge to work out like quite a bit recently but never got the chance to... And today, I finally managed to go DDR a wee little itsy bit with Clar. By the end of the first song, I was tired. And guess what? I failed the second song -_-" Like... @.@ My legs were actually DYING by the third song. Argh! Like how unfit can I get, seriously?

You know what? Don't answer that.

ITP: Hmm... I guess that takes up quite a bit of my life now... I'm OT-ing quite a bit recently cause of the pressing deadlines and all... I've had terrible days (thinks pointedly about yesterday) where I spend half the day trying to solve a problem that wasn't even programming-related. -_-" Like the application I was using for programming just went berserk on me. So I had to delete my project and re-import the entire thing... Stupid. Utterly stupid.

Madness at the workplace: Heh, so I realise many of us aren't really sane... *coughs* Me included, but that's not the point. It can be really fun, and I guess the insane-ness is what keeps me sane at work ^^;

Of course, there _are_ times where some people drive me mad, but I haven't gotten the urge to throw them out the window yet, so I suppose that's good ^^;

Lyrics: I swear I had some song to blog about to cause of the lyrics... (don't ask me why I keep doing that recently... I have absolutely no idea) But I just can't recall the song right now... So that'll have to wait till it comes back to me ^^;;

'Ignited' (Cosplay group): YEAH going with Ignited to watch Pirates of the Carribean tomorrow~ Supposed to be a chance to 'get to know the existence of several members that some of us don't know about' >_< I'm one of those invisible members I guess ^^;;

At the last end-of-year event, Skye was calling "Ignited!! Come here!" and I had absolutely no idea whether I was actually part of the group... so I hesitated a bit, then turned and walked off to change out... Partly cause I didn't want my counterpart to be bored any longer and wait, and partly cause I really didn't know whethter I was considered part of them...

My heart was really screaming and asking me to linger a bit longer to hear what she wanted to tell the group, but I turned and walked off with this coldness spreading through my insides.

Ever since I joined the livejournal community though, I've started to feel as though there's some confirmation of my part in the group... One, cause I'm actually _in_ the community, and secondly, cause Skye actually messaged me about certain events too- =) And another from the group actually called me up one day to tell me about a particular new anime/manga/cosplay magazine that just came out (*cough* the main reason was cause the team was in it *cough*)-

Considering I've never really had anyone else from the circle apart from Skye calling me up about stuff, I was really happy =D

Of course, to those who have no interest about this part of my life, I think I probably just bored you guys to death, or amused you. Anywayz, I'm just looking forward to tomorrow, and the chalet that's coming up =D


The end: Alright, that's just about enough of rambling... I should really get ready for bed, or I may just very well fall asleep in the cinema tomorrow... And that is not good. I'll update again when the inspiration comes~ ^^

Open Up Your Mind

Couple of days back I was listening to my MP3 player in the bus on the way to work... And it felt as if I was actually listening to the words for thea first time... Every word just went through to my heart and well... ya. >_< It was rather comforting- ^_^

Anywayz, thought I'd blog the lyrics and dedicate the song to whoever's having a rough patch right now- I'd put the song up but the mp3 size was too large for the current place I'm putting my files -_-" So... Err... Maybe soon..? ^^;; (So much for dedicating... >_<)

Argh... But the english translation sounds weird... =S =( I swear, it sounds so much nicer in actuality..! >_<

Kkz, I'll update again soon-

English Translation

Even when it seems that nothing can go right
and you want to just give up,
if you close your eyes,
you can see the world from your heart.

your feet can take you however far you want to go, so
Just hold on tight, because if you close your eyes,
look inside yourself, there's a shining light there.

to make it through this world,
