Some news from around the world and random ramblings

Kind of have many random stuff to talk about right now.

First of all~

I'm gonna start off by being angry and pissed...

A FRIGGING IDIOTIC BASTARD IN AUSTRALIA CHOPPED OFF TWO EARS AND TAIL OF A PUPPY! ARGHHHHHHHHHH THE FUCKER! HE SHOULD DIE! DIE, I TELL YOU! THE PIC OF THE PUPPY IS SOOOOOOO HEARTBREAKING! THE PUPPY LOOKED SO SAD! ARHHHHHH! I SERIOUSLY WANT TO CHOPPED OFF THE MAN'S DING DONG AND HIS EARS OFF! THEN HE'LL UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF THE PUPPY!

What is happening to the world we currently live in? =( Even young kids are torturing or doing something similar to the bastard I've mentioned above. There's one where the kid put the cat in the microwave to dry the cat... no need for me to give more detail. There's even more tortured animal stories... and the people who tortured those poor animals are now mostly young kids. -_-
Ugh... this is soooooooo ugh.

On a happier note~

A sweet true-life love story. ^^ It's about a British man and Spanish lady who were sweethearts 17 years ago and got engaged after one year. But then, the lady went to Paris to open a shop there, thus, the relationship ended. Few years later, the man still wanted to rekindle their relationship, sent a letter to her mother's home in Spain. However, the letter was put on the mantelpiece and fell behind the fireplace and was lost for a decade. Then recently, during a renovation work, when the builders removed the fireplace, then the letter was found. After much hesitation, the lady finally called the man and then they were reunited. A quote from the article:

"When we met again it was like a film. We ran across the airport into each other's arms. We met up and fell in love all over again. Within 30 seconds of setting eyes on each other we were kissing."

The couple married last Friday. Congrats to them. :D

It's stories like this that made me truly believe that true love does exist. Though I myself ain't so keen on getting married in the future or finding someone I love, one can't help but feel happy while reading this sort of stories and secretly wished, that this could happen to them someday. Sigh~ With all the morbid stories circuling around soompi, I'm really glad this sweet story made it into the news. ^^v Best of wishes to the couple.

On a normal note...
I'm seriously gonna read my novels and write my thoughts about those books. And post them to my blog. If can, I really want to start it right now. However, I will have to wait till Thursday at least. I have an Accounting test this Thursday, in which, the marks will be counted as our MPR results. Sigh... Life is cruel and full of irony sometimes. -_-

Nic's on holiday in Singapore. And before she went there, I requested her to buy a book from an option of four books for me as my birthday present. And yesterday, while she was onlining using her cousin's computer (in Singapore), she told me she bought one book already, which is The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever by Julia Quinn. AND, just now, while chatting with Wern, she told me that she bought one of the book from the list of books I asked Nic to buy, which was Annie May's Black Book by Debby Holt. Turns out that she saw the list and decided to buy one as my present. *tears are flowing down my face at this moment* I am so touched. I didn't even ask Wern to buy, yet she bought one for me. *those tears are of course, due to joy* I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, WERN! And Nicole is not exluded too. :P
++++++++++++++++++++
I'm planning to give Wern a birthday card, complete with my horrible drawing and stuff, coz her birthday present request is either too expensive for me to buy (she actually wrote camera and a hp -_-), or too hard to fulfil or it's just way too simple for me to fulfil, that it feels like I'm got cheated (she said something about "everyone happy, then I'm happy" type of birthday present, seriously, what else can I do about that? Everyone are already naturally happy. -_-) So after hearing those wishes, I decided on good old-fashion home made birthday card. Wern should be thankful (not that she's not already) to have the privilege (did I spelt it correctly? o.O) of receiving (well she hasn't receive it yet, heck, it's not even been made yet!) my ultra-rare-birthday-card, designed by moi~
Oh yeah, speaking of presents... I still haven't bought Nicole any present at all. ^^;; Haiz... it's just that... it's kind of hard to think of a present for her (and everyone else, seriously), she doesn't even know what she wants (a trait which I find a liiittle annoying sometimes -_-, just a little though), which makes the whole matter even more difficult. Oh well, I'll just randomly buy something when we go out in the future, I suppose. My birthday gift would be simple: either book, bookmark, souvenier (did I spelt it correctly? -.-) or something just plain pretty and for display.

New blog skin and future plan for the blog

Another new blog skin! Not really feeling the fourth blog skin anymore. Oh well~ ^^

The current blog skin is different as we have to scroll from left to right (which is less common style).

This is the second part of the blog.
_____________________________________________
I have lots of future plan for my blog (not that I didn't plan out some stuff for my blog... somehow, they weren't effective -_-). I really wanna make my own blog skin, customize it and modify it. I wanna post more book reviews too (this time I'm really determined). And maybe post some after-thoughts after reading manga o.O (like Naruto and Bleach). In the future I wanna put a music playlist too. And some gothic picture! I like goth... well, kind of. As long as it's not too extreme -.- . So many stuff to put inside. >.<
There's this blog: cindyreadsromance.blogspot.com that inspires and moivates me. I think her blog is really pretty. I wanna make my blog just like her's (well, sort of... not completely the same lah).
I'm planning to read some of my books from scratch and there's gonna be book reviews soon! (I hope T_T). I seriously need to do something to my LJ though. It's seriously abandoned. -.-

Happy Birthday To Me~

Ok, so my birthday was yesterday.... I was actually planning to post an entry yesterday. Howver, I fall asleep at around 7 or 8 or 9 pm. -_- I don't even recall falling asleep.

Anyway, yesterday was a great day! =D In first period, which was my PS, Li Wen, Xin Yi and Sing Ling surprised me with a small cake and meehoon (cooked by Li Wen's maid) and drinks (chrysenthenum tea <- the spelling is wrong, I think). Seriously my mind went blank when I saw the cake with a single candle in the middle. I blew out the candle, just like tradition. To be honest, that is my first birthday cake in a long, loooooooooooooooooong time. When I realised it, kind of made me sad. =( Anyways, that is one of the sweetest and nicest thing anyone had ever done to me. And I really appreciate their thoughtfulness. ^^ Then, we called Saiyidah to come to eat (we were in our BE class). I really like the small plastic bowl and the plastic forks and spoon they brought. Lol.

Reasons:

1) The small plastic bowl (which is usually used for pudding actually) is way much more convenient to use for eating meehoon or food like that.
2) The plastic spoons and forks are quite thick and strong. Ain't like those flimsy spoons they give in the canteen.

We finished the meehoon (forced it down our throat) and drank the drinks, and ate a bit of cake. Then the rest of the cake, I brought it home, coz it's for me.

Once again, thanks, Li Wen, Sing Ling and Xin Yi for the food and drinks and cake and the birthday song, including Saiyidah. =D

In Business Studies, teacher announced it's my birthday and everyone sand Happy Birthday song lol. I felt really awkward. I think some of them don't even know which one is Larissa. =.=

After school, which was 12, (my afternoon class got cancelled ^^v) Dad brought me to BesEastern to buy books (the branch in Seri). I bought five books =D Happy happy day~ ^_^ And we went home, to be welcomed with the delicious food cooked by my mom (spaghetti and fried chicken leg). Then I was busy replying back to people who greeted me Happy Bday in Facebook. Hmm, it sounds like a very uneventful birthday... but then, I'm happy. ^^ That's the thing that matter. The only thing that annoyed me yesterday was the fact I fall asleep at 8 or 9 in the night. -_-^ That is seriously not in my plan of ending my day yesterday =.= .

One thing about this year's birthday...

I'm forcing some of my friends to buy books as my present.

I wonder if they seriously bought me books. I would remember them for the rest of my life.

Afifah's leaving to Australia next week. I'm really sad about it. =( She's like, one of my good-closest-new friend that I met this year in school and she's leaving so soon. She got scholarship to study in Australia, two years in Australia, another two years in U.K. And she's taking the course Mechanical Engineering. Think she's gonna suffer. The mechanical engineer thing... sounds like lots of Physics =.= ... not my cup of tea. -.- Anyway, I'm gonna miss Afifah a lot. Wish her all the best in her future.

OH! And I kinda miss Shawn now. *shocked* No idea why I suddenly miss him -.- . And I seriously miss Amelia and Yeoh and Wern. T__T And Nic and Sy and Lean too. =(

I miss the past... when we all were together. Haiz~

Oh well... people just chose different paths in life... <- does that sounds like it make sense? =.=

To end this entry...

~Happy Birthday to me~ happy birthday to me~ happy birthday to Larissa~ happy birthday to me~
