你有男人的豪气，有女人的细腻。刚强，奔放中带点悲哀，苦涩，轻柔的。。女人味. 每一次都有一种无法形容的魅力，深深吸引。

因为你，我爱上了摇滚。

Ring pulls from drink bottles

Collect ring pulls from a drink can and build a limb for an amputee!
Some interesting facts:

1 KG of ring-pull tops helps to make 3 limbs
The ring-pull tops are melted down to make the rod that goes inside the limb to support it.
The ring-pull tops are also used to make walking aids and frames
There are 2 types of limbs made: 1 is the farmers leg - helping when climbing mountains etc and the other is the cosmetic leg.
Dr Therdchai Jivacate designed the legs. They are lighter, more comfortable and 10 times less expensive than the imported ones to make since they are made of recycled plastic and ring-pull tops.
The Prostheses Foundation has a mobile prosthetic unit which travels to rural remote areas to make artificial legs free of charge for poor and disabled amputees.
The Foundation has volunteers, doctors and technicians to make artificial legs all year round.

The addresses to send the ring pull tops to are:
Anna Rulla, 2/1141 North East Road, Ridgehaven, South Australia 5097 OR The Prostheses Foundation, 199 Moo 4 Donkaew Maerim District, Chang Mai 50180 Thailand

I think this action is really meaningful. Have a thought of turning this into a CIP. Anyone interested?

People like this don't deserve this little attention;

Dharni’s passion for music began at a very young age in 2002 at the age of 15. He introduced beatboxing to Singapore at age 17 by busking on the streets, and it slowly created an awareness after 6 months. He now holds the 5th place in the world's beatbox rankings.

This guy here deserve some respect. I am just too stupid to not take a photo with him ._.

He performed at the YAH birthday bash on saturday. But, what appalled me was the audience. Like hey, this is a beatboxing performance and the audience look as if they were watching an opera ._. Same as to the other dance and music performances. A performer needs enthusiastic response as a feedback to how his performance is. Some performers just need the audience to lend a ear, but they just get too little attention. I liked A Vacant Affair, thought they were great.
Here's a vid of them-

"Everytime I find meaning in life, it changes."

People seem to grow uglier by each day. Dreams seem to lose its happily-ever-afters.

I can't wait for school to reopen. Not that I am looking forward to orientation.

I shall start saving up to buy a Holga (: Now I have an excuse to skip lunch ha! Read up quite a lot on lomography and realised it is interesting, so i guess i shall give it a try. Saw one in Inqbox and others on Multiple X choice. HOLGAS

Lucid dreaming;

"Lucid dreaming is the conscious perception of one's state while dreaming. In this state a person usually has control over characters and the environment of the dream as well as the dreamer's own actions within the dream.The occurrence of lucid dreaming has been scientifically verified.^"I enjoy my dreams, despite most of it being either erased or nightmares. I always try to continue my dream by sleeping after waking up, but it never did come again:( At some random point of life, i happen to come across a place or meet a person, it kinda felt like Déjà vu. I am pretty sure these memories occurred in my dreams, maybe years ago, just that I cannot recall. Something funny but true; you think hard about something you must dream about tonight. You realise it never happens. Dreams are indispensable. A lack of dream activity can mean protein deficiency or a personality disorder. So, let's just hope that we can weave more dreams shall we (hopefully beautiful ones that would never happen in reality) (:

Wouldn't have missed it for the world;

I remember when I was young, I watched my first English movie in the theatres. Billy Elliot it was. I was 8 then. It was highly inspirational, although at that point of time, I don't even understand why the f word was vulgar.

And I would always remember this quote from Billy when he was asked what does it feel like when he was dancing.

"Don't know. Sorta feels good. Sorta stiff and that, but once I get going... then I like, forget everything. And... sorta disappear. Sorta disappear. Like I feel a change in my whole body. And I've got this fire in my body. I'm just there. Flyin' like a bird. Like electricity. Yeah, like electricity."

I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this film and the number of times I felt like how Billy described in his quote.

Billy:"I don't want a childhood. I want to be a ballet dancer."

My feet were sore, my head was heavy and my flesh was weak. Yet I did not stop. No not today, when it is drizzling. Nothing was in my mind, yet I knew I had to walk on. Everytime I do this, I feel myself grow up a little. Maybe this rain will wash away my sanity. Maybe I would feel better. Maybe Jacky was right.

Promos had shown me what I could do and what I had not done enough. Being overly-confident is a bad thing, well at least academically. If you're good in a test, maybe two, or even three, it does not give you any reason to stop improving. Cause' you never know when you will fall and hit rockbottom.
For Year 5 readers: If you have yet to even open your econs promos booklet, please do so now. Cause you will find a pink list of holiday homework you need to do (with the first assignment due on 21st nov) :D

And read this article only after you have done your homework:) It's an unbiased post on Ris low by a Political Correspondent which i think is worth a read (might change your opinion of Ris)
