Today is Father's Day, and I very much want to celebrate it with daddy, but he's happily skipping around somewhere in Scotland so I suppose I should not burst his happy bubble. But I will call him later on his newly-acquired UK number so it will still count anyway.
So basically, three months from now I will turn 20 and celebrate my two decades of life. Except I won't be too happy about it.
To me, 20 = one more year before becoming a full-fledged adult = more responsibility = awkward me. I don't look the part, anyway. I still look 17, and no I'm not being delusional. I still haven't achieve my dream height too. WTF.
I'm too young to die but I want the earth to open up and swallow me whole. Too bad I'm not in an earthquake-prone zone. It would have been an exciting way to die if it's not a tragedy to others.
OK I'm letting Geography revision get to me. Can't think straight. Feels like giving everyone in sight a lecture on Global Warming and carbon footprint and Earth Hour. And no the latter does not come out in my Geography exam on Monday.
I intend to blog about Jake Gyllenhaal first thing in the morning, but I woke up and my tweet count went from 3,600 to 938. Not a good start to any day. I was followed by a spammer too. I said "was", because I hate being followed by spammers and fanatic Justin Beiber fans (IDK if I got the spelling of his name wrong, CURSE HIM) and I blocked them from following me. I'm usually a good-natured person, but Twitter always have the ability to cast a bad cloud over me.
"So why are you still using Twitter?", you ask. Well, I'm just plain addicted. Plus, I can't just abandon my 300 followers, who are just simply wonderful people. I get to know what happens around the world too; just moments ago @BruneiTweet informed me Gadong is raining. So that's how it is.
I do have to admit the Fail Whale is really starting to get on my nerves. The constant problems are getting on my nerves too but what is Twitter doing? Acquiring companies left and right! The troubleshooters at Twitter, in my opinion, has one of the worst jobs in the world. I feel sorry for them. There are just too many errors to fix, it is waiting to self-destruct.
I think I will blog about Jake Gyllenhaal sometime in next few days. I just have to let my steam out first.
Recently a combination of several events have led to me having weird dreams. My dreams have, generally, been weird most of the time, but these are weirdest of the lot I ever have so far.
Take last night, for example. I dreamt that I have to file away roomfuls of papers and the task was made harder by the fact the papers can fly. So I have to catch them, pin them down somehow, and file them away in a certain complicated order, all the while making sure the files don't fly off.
Sigh.
I'm not going to say what happened next, because I intend to use them in my stories. Yes, I'm one of those writers who get their inspiration from dreams. A famous writer who gets her inspiration this way is Stephenie Meyer, who went on to write the hit vampire series Twilight. One of my favourite books, but the films are so overrated and I'm Team Jacob anyway.
Regarding the title, it has something to do with another dream of mine. It's a great title, isn't it? That dream will make a good story someday. Until then, you just have to wait. Here's a preview though:
The lights flickered on, flooding the warehouse in an eerie neon glow. Rene gasped. The warehouse was filled with torture equipments of all kinds, all of them outlawed since the 21th quarter-century. Jeremy grinned.
Well basically that's all I will reveal for now ^^

(All Stats Taken As of 11:59 PM Feb. 19, 2010)
This is unexpected but all three of my cellphone novels (that I have since abandoned) are in the top 10 list of 19 Feb 2010.
I was alerted to this stats originally posted on Ranobe Cafe by a Twitter follower who wish to remain anonymous.
I was so stiff from my long absence from TextNovel, I even forgot which ones of my stories are completed -_-"
So I went on TextNovel and did a search, basically checking out the popularity of my cellphone novels.
My Girl has dropped to #14, overtaken by the fairly new First Love (Cinta Pertama) written by Wanpicz :(
The most recent Top 10:

This means moi need to update all three cellphone novels soon! Ah, I can't sleep now!
This is not really an update, but an update is still an update, ね? If you feel as if you have read part of this post before, don't go around accusing me of plagiarism. Chances are, I wrote them somewhere else and feeling too lazy to babble the same stuff again, had copied and paste. So nobody stands guilty of plagiarism.
So. Bruneian Dream. Being a most epic fan of G-Dragon, Korean Dream is one of my favourite tracks on his album. I mean, it's meaningful and everything. I like it so much I even did a parody. All in the name of respect to G-Dragon, of course.
What could be a 'Bruneian Dream'? A typical one will be making Brunei proud. Since actions speak louder than words, I must stress that to move forward, we must get rid, or at the very least tone down, our infamous malas tah ku ingau attitude. That means more action and less talk!
The recent (OK, maybe not-so-recent) Earth Hour, in my belief, weeds out those incapable of taking action, in a good way, maybe?
For me, my personal Bruneian Dream will be as simple as Let me contribute to my own country in my own way. Of course, doing something that puts Brunei on the world map will be great, too. Even something as simple as introducing myself as a Bruneian counts, since for most populations of the EU 'Brunei' is probably a new word.
Speaking of G-Dragon, I must mention YUI had recently released a new single, titled to Mother. The tracks are, as usual, simply amazing. The A-track, to Mother, is a song about a girl with a bad relation to her mother, something I can relate to; the B-track, Tonight, is nice too, although I haven't have time to interpret the lyrics well as I have been busy with revision. Not.
I'm ending this post in a think-out-of-the-box-ish way. Ask yourself this question Have you ever regret anything/any decisions you had made in the past? and be honest with yourself. Denial is nice, but it won't get you anywhere - especially if you want to fulfill your own Bruneian Dream.
