I don't have any phone that can support this game, and so I don't have this game. But I kinda get the story behind this and LOL. This is just full of lulz.

So I came home around 9p.m. after a rare weekday dinner date with the bf. Heh. And it's near midnight now so I don't have much time to ramble on so... here's a video for this Monday. Also. I has long weekend! Thank you, company, for giving us half-days on the eve of public holidays so I'm getting a half-day on Thursday (and we get to come into the office in casual wear woot woot!), a public holiday on Friday, and weekends! YAY!

A fan-made video of w-inds.'s 'Some More'. This video's really well put together and I'm loving this song all over again.

No thanks to those people burning vegetation illegally over at our dear neighbouring Indonesia, we've been having serious haze for almost a week. It was so bad we were practically surrounded by a fog, and the moment you step out from any indoor area you could smell something. BURNING. And the haze didn't let up until after a huge storm yesterday afternoon in the west and another one this morning in the east where I am. I hope that means I can sleep with my windows open tonight and not needing to worry about breathing in vegetation ash while asleep.

I really don't have much to say about this anymore. At least not anything profound and moving.
People, do you not see what hate does to others? Being hateful doesn't rid the world of the things you don't understand or can't accept. Your hate is making others hate themselves for things that are out of their control and making them think that they're worthless when they're not. What makes you think you are without traits that would incite dislike from other people? Why is it that you're not driven to the point where you think there's nothing in your life left to live for and the only way to stop feeling like a sorry excuse for a human being is to take your own life? Because there are people who hate less. Because there are people who at least understand, even if they don't accept certain things. Because there are people capable of giving a little bit more love.
It gets better, only if we believe enough to let it—if we hate a little less and love a little more.

There was a book fair/sale at the Expo a few days ago and Y got me two Merlin novels just because while he was there like a bookworm drawn to book sales. Envy me, for my boyfriend is both nerdy and awesome XD
(Ooh, Colin and Bradley~ *Coos at book covers*)
Anyway. I started out typing this entry with a few things in mind that I wanted to say, but now I've forgotten what I was going to update about. Fail.
It was supposed to go something like: I kept nodding off at work because after years of staying up for uni stuff, I can't seem to keep to my 10p.m. bedtime. Waking up at 6a.m. for five days a week has made work hours very difficult to get through. And I've been packing my own lunch to work since the third day of work because eating outside meant having to endure the heat and the expensive CBD menu. Although I feel so wrung out tonight that I'm not really up to cooking something for tomorrow. I guess I'll just buy a sandwich from 7-11 tomorrow morning on my way to the bus stop. Then maybe I'll mention something about the crazy heat these few days. I didn't even have to switch on the heater for the shower; the water was too warm on the lowest setting. And that my hair's getting long enough to be at that length that its mere presence is irritating, and it sticks to the back of my neck and fizzes when it gets too warm or too humid even though I have straight hair (so totally not true that only curly and/or wavy hair fizzes). Can the rainy/monsoon season be here now? UGH.
Okay. I think my mind just went *kapoot* because it's functioning on a lack of energy while the weather is overheating it. Stupid equatorial weather.

Because I'm geeky and this will blow your mind.

Can the monsoon/rainy season come already? It's so hot and humid I sweat even more easily than usual and the tap water is warm. THE TAP WATER. IS WARM.
On the topic of a little less fail, after 22 years of EPIC FAIL, I've finally learned how to ride a bicycle! Just this past weekend, K.Ying's uni friends had some project thingy (which I had no idea how to explain) but the objective of it was to teach a skill or something. So I was (one of the two) guinea pig(s) of the project and they had to teach me how to ride a bicycle.
After two days of two hours of bike riding each, lots of shrieking, almost-cursing (which I had to self-censor to "FISH!" instead because there were kids around), too many times of almost-falling-off-the-bicycle, a few bruises, countless scratches from the pedals, getting sunburnt, I finally managed to stay on the bicycle long enough to be considered cycling. Herein is the end to all the teasing I kept getting for not knowing how to cycle. HAH! Also, this meant that, technically, I only took less than four hours to learn how to ride a bicycle. WIN! :D
(Aah... Gotta live with the sunburn, aching arms and the pain in the seat of my bum for a few more days.)

I've been watching this teaser clip from Easy A since last week and I can't stop watching it and it's the one small thing that cheers me up each day and I think I'll be watching this at least 10 times tonight to feel remotely cheered up. I'm also kinda wanting to watch this movie although I stopped watching chick flicks in cinemas. Hmm. We shall see.

After what seemed like forever, I've finally watched Toy Story 3 yesterday with Jay, Nat and Y (yes, I sat in between Jay and Y—the two non-believers of Pixar and animated films in general—on purpose). I was doing happy-flaily-dances of excitement even before entering the theatre and was already chair-dancing at Disney's lead-in sequence with Cinderella's (Sleeping Beauty's?) castle and and and :D
The short film before the actual movie, Day and Night, as is Pixar's tradition, was pretty cool with the totally different way of showing a movie and the story. Oh oh oh, the message in it was pretty awesome too. Aah~ So much love XD
( TOY STORY 3! No spoilers; cut for CAPS LOCK abuse and fangirl ramblings )

It's awesome how he plays so effortlessly what I think is extremely difficult to play right. Aah... I need a new guitar :(

So. My term break starts today but I have a nagging feeling that I have an annoying backlog of online assignments to complete before lessons resume (ugh, blogging assignments, I HATE YOU). At least most of the presentation assignments are over and there's only the Advanced Public Relations simulated media conference-presentation left. Good thing we tried to choose the earlier topics this time to get as many deadlines over and done with as we can. But that doesn't really make a difference because this trimester is pretty hardcore in the first place =\
Anyway. I haven't been keeping up with Video Mondays *SHAMEFACE* although I've been bookmarking videos to blog about. So. Here's one I came across earlier today~

Oh, the hilarious and the lulz. Yes, BP, you are screwed.

Anyway. I can't blog like this—without a clear mind and a better sense of objectivity, where I might end up regretting what I shared online when I read my old entries again in the next few days or weeks.
Meanwhile, here's something cheerful.

Oh, the things we don't realise until someone points it out.

I PASSED MY JLPT4 YO.
(Ignore the grainy photo; I took it with Albus's Photo Booth.)
Okay, so I barely passed (passing grade is 240), but still! And here I was, worrying about failing my grammar section and thus failing the whole exam. At least the $45 registration and examination fee didn't go to waste!
