janet jackson - doesn't really matter |

Who cares if the parents respect you for your knowledge. In the eyes of the students, you're just an evil tyrant who will never gain our respect!
Your coldness, you're self-proclaimed authority. It's disgusting.
As a temporary replacement, what gives you the right to rock up and start changing things according to your own will?
What gives you the right to meddle with our own affairs which we will take care of by ourselves, even without your nosy suggestions?
Your friendly smile-wrapped remark was the most rudest thing I have ever had to be greeted with, especially at how abrupt, how public and how uncalled for it was. We all know what your motives were. It could never be hidden from us.
You've cast thick dark clouds upon my clear-skied world.
How dare you give me such orders! You're not my dad! Heck, today was the first time you've spoken to me! And for what reason? To get rid of something that's a part of me, and almost uncontrollable, considering the current situation I'm in?
That is so low.
I seldom ever get mad at other people, but this is too much, you tyrant. You...
I'm sorry I'm short. I'm sorry I look like a kid. I'm sorry I don't look my age.
Fine! If you think I'm a child, then I'll might as well act like one and do things according to your will!

brtiney spears - radar |
] |
This bear key ring made out of felt (I think) came with Danza, that Ono Natsume book that I bought last week with Julija. It's still wrapped in its little package but I might use it sometime soon.
Okay, I've got a confession to make. Britney Spears is my guilty pleasure. There! I said it! I always get a kick out of singing her songs at karaoke. It just makes everything much for fun. Anywho, I was listening to 'Radar' this afternoon, and there was this bit in the lyrics where it goes something like "ten million dollar smile". The first thing I thought about when I heard those lyrics was Dylan! Hahaha! There was this hilarious situation he made up last year involving a comparison between bogans and posh people when they compliment each other's appearance before going out to dinner.
Posh compliment: "Oh darling, you look a million dollars."
Bogan compliment: "Ah honey! You look a hundred bucks!" <-- (said with the biggest accent ever!)
Hahahaha. Good times. I haven't heard from Dylan in ages. I should send him a letter on an email soon to see how he's going.

Argh! I'm furiously trying to finish sound designs for the four scenes of our Images/Sound assignment. It's not due tomorrow, but our group wants everyone's parts to be done by tomorrow.
Looks like I'm not gonna be sleeping any time soon.
#Edit: 1:15AM
Nope! I finished one scene and it took me fifteen minutes. I think I'll wake up early in the morning to finish this. I can do it!

my little airport - victor, fly me to stafford |

I was looking through my old composition notebook that used from 2006 up to 2008 this afternoon, and all these memories of great afternoons, melancholy evenings, and long forgotten melodies came flooding back to me. I was on a roll back then, like, I'd compose songs one after another, but these days ideas only come to me once every two months or so.
So, I was looking at my old notes and I've realises how old some of these songs have become! The photo up there is of the notes I took when I was starting to compose 'Soulflower'. My gosh! August of 2006! That was yonks! Ooh, and 'Fragmented Motion' turned two years old last week. Back then it was under the temporary title of 'Downtown Song (Brass)'. For the last two years, I left the song without a melody during the chorus section and the bridge. I was playing around with my keyboard the other day and wrote potential melodies for that song! If only I came up with those melodies sooner!

I got home to a lovely full course meal which was prepared by my mum, dad and my mum's best friend. We had corn soup, pasta bake and barbecue chicken. For desert, we rich chocolate yoghurt! It was extremely delicious!
I think I might have gained a bit of weight, but I don't care.
It was tasty as! It's not everyday that we get treated with a variety of delicious food. An everyday dinner for me would usually consist of either Indomie or instant beef stroganoff. And afterwards I'd have a desert bowl of yoghurt and two cups of orange juice. Probably every odd day, we'd have chicken cooked in different ways with rice.

I've got my last essay of the year due tomorrow, and I should be working on it now. It's for my Social Perspectives class. It's on 1000 words, so hopefully it won't be too hard. I just want to get it over and done with.
On top of doing this essay, I've got my Japanese dictation quiz on Wednesday morning, and a couple of short stories to read for English. Oh! And I better look for the movie version of Jane Austen's Persuasion, cause there ain't no way I'm gonna read that slow paced and heavily-worded book! Nuh-uh-uh!
I'll start at 1 o'clock.

Okay. I finished recording that soundtrack design assignment, but I've gotta start working on the written explanation. I've been listening to the mix-down for the last hour or so, but I just haven't brought myself to start writing. Nothing's coming into my head. Like, I know what mood and affect I'm trying to convey and all, but I'm just so stressed out.
I had a coffee milkshake and I'm trembling all over, like a junky!

junichi masuda and hiromi sato - old chateau |

Like most nights, I had a strange dream last night. This time it was about uni. But the courses I was doing in that dream was nothing like the ones I'm taking in reality. In this dream, I was attending a lecture for my Advanced Indian Culinary class.
Right...
Once the lecture was over, we were all given a bag filled with Pokemon card decks. I peeked into my bag to find out that I was given an umbrella, so I left the lecture with the umbrella above my head, rushing off to my Organic Sculpturing tutorial, in which we were supposed to give a fifteen presentation. I totally forgot about it so I fell from the building.
If only the courses at uni were this fun!

Sigh. Let's just get this over and done with.

ecoutez - maafkan (tak sempurna) |
] |
I'm such a cry baby. I was crying this evening when they played "Maafkan (Tak Sempurna)" by Ecoutez on 98.7 genFM, an Indonesian radio station, because it reminded me of my time in Indonesia. When I was there last month, we were constantly road tripping after I got out of the hospital. On our road trips, the only radio station we'd play was genFM. This song was on heavy rotation and would be played a lot.
I miss my relatives. Their smiles, their generosity, their kindness, their playfulness.
I want to be in Indonesia once again.
