My Mood: Slightly hyper but also tired...
Music: Greenday's American Idiot album

La la...I finally got THE album of the year...of 2004 anyway...hehe...it's Greenday's American Idiot. Okay, so I'm a little slow when it comes to getting my music collection updated...but there was a good reason...well,sorta anyway..lol...I took a long time in buying this CD cause I was distracted by other CD's..(Simple Plan, Switchfoot, Good Charlotte,Ryan Cabrera......) I actually still have a long list of CD's to buy..but I think those can wait...I just decided to get Greenday's CD and of course, Jay Sean's Me Against Myself. Next up...um..I'm kinda looking for Good Charlotte's first album(most music stores don't have it)..then I wanna get Sarah McLachlan and also the must-haves...One Tree Hill Soundtrack and Gavin DeGraw's Chariot. And..uh huh..the list is actually pretty long. I'm trying to renew my music collection...recycling all the bubblegum-pop I have(Britney,M2M,BSB,etc...)

Okay...so my mum had her surgery...she's fine now...Thank YOU God...I'm so eternally grateful. Plus, she's feeling better..she's able to eat,walk and all that..not as weak as we thought she would be. Yeah...that means she'll be back just in time for Chinese New Year..la la la...Noticed that I haven't blog in a while...reason is...I'm so dead tired and busy. Cause of the assignments that's crashing on me...plus, since my mum's not here, I have to do the house chores. From washing the clothes, to this n that..and I needed to go spend the nights with my mum at the hospital. Trust me, sleeping in the hospital,on a chair...is the worst way to get a nice,good sleep. My back and shoulders are aching all over...Top it all off, I still had college to attend. Ugh...lucky for me, there's always the elixir of my life..well sorta anyway..lol...coffee.

So my brother was askin why I didn't reply to his comment...ahaha...okay,here it is ;Thanks for the nice comment you left in my blog...and the advice...plus, thank you soo much for the entire Slam Dunk series...so love you for that..now I can watch Rukawa and Mitsui all I like...lol. See, the wonderful benefit of having my big brother as my big brother. He's so nice and good sometimes...it makes me feel like a lucky kid sister. When I was in school...he's friends always looked out for me...they treated me as their own sister too. Especially when I first joined the prefectorial board in Form 3. My brother was the senior(Form 5) that year..so all my other seniors were his friends..basically they made my prefectorial life more easier. And when my birthday comes, I can expect him to get me whatever I want...anything in his budget of course...lol. I'm telling you this guy is the coolest. When I was sick with the dengue fever, my brother bought me a sheep soft toy just to cheer me up. How sweet is that? Then again, my brother can be a real...well, pig-head sometimes. He can get very annoying at times..he talks too much...he's so...ugh.Lol..the ups and down of having a big brother. But I'm not complaining, I wouldn't trade my big brother for anyone else...well maybe I would..for Billy of Good Charlotte...haha....kidding bro...just kidding. You know I love you.

So, what can I sum up about my life for now? Nice...pretty cool. Though sometimes I get lost...I still manage to find my way back again. I can't believe I'm actually turning 18 this year...cause I still feel like a kid inside. But...whatever. Okay, I know alot are pondering..why in the world is this kid so into Good Charlotte plus even mentioning that Good Charlotte's CD helps to soothe her and calm her down? Okay, I thought about it for a while...here's what I came up with. These guys are real. I mean like, they don't fake it. They are who they are. They tell the truth about their life..their past. They stand up for themselves and they face reality. Like their latest album, The Chronicles of Life & Death, they went on about life and the inevitable death. These guys never did give up even when they are thrown into life's most deepest pits. They made it through...proving people wrong. Benji and Joel had their dad leaving the family when they were still young. The both of them had to work part-time jobs while studying in high school. It's like...well, I don't know how to describe it. I have this admiration for the guys...all of them. Their music lets me know, I'm not alone in whatever it is I'm facing, and I'll live through it.Maybe some would think GC is total crap, bunch of fakes/posers, etc..but I don't care..I don't think so.

Uh...I think I better end...My shoulders are aching..plus...Arsenal is gonna start their match..against Aston Villa. Hehe...being the fan that I am...I gotta watch this match. Whenever I feel like..low...two things I can do...one, listen to GC...two,watch Arsenal play. Seriously. Plus, seeing Fabregas majorly affects my mood..lol. I mean it. This guy can just make a smile appear on my face. I recently bought a football magazine all because it had a feature on Fabregas...lol. This is my weakness...any features on my favorites in magazines,etc...I would immediately wanna buy it. Hehe...okay...less than 5 minutes to the match..seriously gotta end here. It's actually 1.15 in the morning now...yeah, I take about an hour to blog...lol...so sue me.
