Steph Meyer; AC infamous

The front part of New Moon brought a sense of familiarity as I read it... It reminded me of how I was like some time back, how I became zombie-like (though it wasn't as extreme as Bella's) and lived life as a mere routine. It's really depressing! I tried to find ways to distract myself, just like how Jacob Black was Bella's happy pill, her substitute her favourite vampire. Of course, no one could really replace the original, and the hole in the heart gets bigger as time passes. I am, not surprisingly, able to identify with Bella here.

Stephenie Meyer is awesome.

Can't wait for Twilight to hit Singapore's theatres!
Can't wait for Meyer to publish Midnight Sun... No--I should make an amendment to that--I hope it's only published after my A levels. That will prevent an unnecessary addiction to a book other than textbooks which is likely to take a toll on my studies.


There's a funny cheese smell lingering around the house. I wonder why. I may like cheese, but smelling too much of it makes me sick.


I don't see the need to paragraph my next subject - I'd rather people not read it. I'll still go on with the typing anyway, very briefly now.
Okay, as a student of AC, I feel I need to make my stand known regarding the uproar caused by that video that was posted online. Actually, I do not have a stand. I'm Switzerland, in that sense. I know that this birthday prank has gotten a little too far, crossed boundaries, made things difficult for the witnesses to the prank (assuming that the subject was perfectly fine with it). I also know, that none of the students involved had expected such a video to be posted on the net, which is where the true humiliation starts. It really IS the norm, for birthday pranks similar to this one to be carried out. I have seen some of them myself, where a lot of attention would be brought to the group and someone would be carried into the bin somewhere. Saying it gets "out of hand" is subjective, really. I do believe (you may want to view this as a statement with sarcasm, it's up to you) that even as youths of the 21st century where everything is anything (life with a pinch of salt), conscience is embedded deep within us, we don't throw them into the bin along with the 'victim' concerned. We are cautious with our actions, making sure that the incident does not turn out to be a bullying case, at least that's what happens among youths with morals. Like I said, it's subjective. There are Singaporeans who think what's defined as 'fun' actually is 'harm', then there are those who accept 'fun' the way it is. The public is really making too much of a fuss over this issue. That SAJC video with the toothpaste guy is worthy of just as much--if not more--attention from the public. I look forward to hearing and reading about what the general public has to say about that.
