Just Around The River Bend.

I'm leaving blogspot for awhile as a symbolic step to sort of have some form of change. I'm stuck at a stagnant point now so I thought I'd venture somewhere new to see how it works out. The new place is less user-friendly compared to Blogspot but I kinda like it there. Who knows, I may come back here in a week. Or maybe still do my GG rants here (coz I haven't figured out how to do expendable post summaries in the other blog garhhhh). Or maybe anything!

So do come visit rianney.tumblr.com :)

Head's up : loads and loads and loads of Bones in the new place. Ehehe. I'm kind of addicted, as you can tell :D

OMG!

The much talked about, um, scene in GG has come and, um, it was certainly, um, unexpected. Yes, unexpected indeed.

Spoilers on GG 3x09 "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

HOLY MOLY!

OK I have to admit it was kinda anti climatic in an ZOMG kind of way. Anti climatic, because it was a threesome that's been so hyped up by everyone which kind of creeped me out coz I seriously thought about it and there's just no three characters on GG I'd really want to see do it! Seriously. And ZOMG because of all the other hotter, saucier characters available for the taking that would probably make such an awkward scene sexy and well, not awkward, they went with Dan-Olivia-Vanessa? Eurgh.

The weirdest and most freaky of all is not the Dan and Olivia kissing suggestively in front of V, not even Olivia and V kissing but Dan and V making out was really really weird and it totally freaked me out. Had to fast forward to save my eyes from further torture. Eurgh.

To top it off, I can't decide who I can't stand more: Serena VDW or Jenny Humphrey. One thinks she's making all the right decisions from that high horse she rode in on and the other thinks she's a bad ass just coz she has on some black eyeshadow and weird hair extensions. I think this episode, Jenny takes the cake for being Bitch Queen with no self-esteem (rhyme not intended).

Wait, I'm torn again. My episode is loading really really slow for some reason.

Oh, who am I kidding. No one is more annoying than Serena. Jenny may be a pain in the ass but she's a small potato so who really cares. Serena's a self-righteous idiot for falling for Tripp's "I don't wanna ruin your future" speech and him carressing the scar she got from I Don't Know and I Don't Care. Eurgh!!

But, as usual, thank the writers for Chuck and Blair who never fail to save an episode from crashing and burning. Oh, I love Chuck and Blair. In a non-threesome, non-freaky, non-Dan/Olivia/Vanessa kind of way. Eurgh.




/edit: I love BuddyTV's wrap-ups! (: This week's: 'Gossip Girl' Wrap-Up: If "They" Don't Shoot Humphreys, I'd Like To Volunteer

PMS Overdrive Gome Wonky.

I always miss home particularly more when my family is back in Melaka for a long weekend or whatever.

Trips back to Melaka, to me, is the epitome of family. No work, no school, barely any Internet - just family. And a lot of food.

I wish I could say I've always been this connected to the place where I was born in. But that fact alone makes every trip back a discovery, and as cliched as this sounds, I feel more and more connected to my roots.

Turns out it really does matter knowing where you come from.


I love Melaka. It's home, it's family, it's good food and it's love.



It's times like these that makes me really really really wish I wasn't 10000 freakin kilometers away.

Long Lost.

"When you are a kid you have your own language, and unlike French or Spanish or whatever you start learning in fourth grade, this one you're born with, and eventually lose. Everyone under the age of seven is fluent in Ifspeak; go hang around with someone under three feet tall and you'll see. What if a giant funnelweb spider crawled out of that hole over your head and bit you on the neck? What if the only antidote for venom was locked up in a vault on the top of a mountain? What if you live through the bite, but could only move your eyelids and blink out an aphabet? It doesn't really matter how far you go; the point is that it's a world of possibility. Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut."

Day to Day.

I practically spent the whole day in bed. It's not the first time, and I'ma tell you, each time I do it I feel damn guilty. And it's even worse here because it gets dark at like 4.30pm which makes me feel even more guilty!

I'm currently living on a very day-to-day basis. Like, I do today what is due tomorrow. I don't do things ahead of schedule and while I have barely made it on time for a lot of things, I still don't do things in advance. Day by day, living like today is just something to get through so that tomorrow will come and so on so forth.

I need some excitement in my life. I think the most excitement I get is when my classes are all over for the day and I'm on the tube back to my place. Le sigh!

But enough with the whining.

I'm proud to announce that I've eaten out only 5 times thing month so far! Which is a huge improvement over how often I ate out in my first year (I'd say about 40-45 times a month?) It gives me a feeling of accomplishment somehow when I cook myself dinner and even though it lacks the flair of outside food, it tastes pretty damn awesome. Haha. Like today I fried noodles with minced pork and mushrooms for dinner. Fried noodles! Me! :D

I also watched My Sister's Keeper today. Before I started, I already told myself to lower my expectations because I know it won't be as good as the book, in fact, nowhere near. Even so, I have to say the show was a let down :( Abigail Breslin was so so so so so so wrong for the role of Anna! Such a disappointment. Sigh. I think we're all doomed to watch movies that never live up to their books (read: Harry Potter). Except perhaps Lord Of The Rings but that's because the books were effing hard to understand in the first place!

It feels a little quieter this week because no HIMYM, no TBBT and no Glee. Sigh. I'm considering downloading Bones because I watched one episode on Star World back in M'sia and got hooked so it must be a pretty good series huh. And yes, while I am still immensely fearful, I continue to download stuff because its convenience and speed is such a thing of beauty. I downloaded My Sister's Keeper in under 30 minutes and I almost weeped for joy. OK I didn't, but you see my point.

It's the weekend! I really appreciate weekends when I'm not on a break for obvious reasons. Too bad they're always so darn tootin short! Or maybe that's because I spend most of it in bed as well. Ehehe :D
