New Haircut!

By new, I mean REALLY new...

I've always played safe. Recently though, I got tired of my boring hairstyle that I wore for almost three years and decided to get rid of it. My old hairstyle wasn't all that bad, I looked quite good with it, but what the heck? I'm 16, I'm supposed to have a bold, daring hairstyle instead of one that says "I'm tired, go away".

After getting this new cut, I don't look like a writer anymore, and that really kills. The reason why I even stuck to my messy hair of three years was because the bushiness and face-covering fringe made me look artistic... Now, I just look like someone who came out from a manga; totally not what I expected.

As you all know, Rachel Cheong isn't photogenic AT ALL, so that is why there will be no pictures of my face with my new haircut. Yes, I only took pictures of the way my hair looks.



This, my friend,
this the RIGHT side of my head 
=)

Obviously, this is my fringe.
FLAT.


I didn't take a picture of how the left side is like because it's more or less the same length as my OLD hairstyle. Yeeaaah, one side is longer than the other... WAAAAY LONGER~!

I won't keep my current style for very long though; I HATE FLAT FRINGES! I prefer very long fringes that I can sweep to the side because they make my face look less round. Well, no matter what type of fringe, they are all equally irritating. 

My friends had a good laugh when I showed up at band practice and I had a nice time laughing at how they laughed as well. MY FACE IS SO ROOOOOOOOUNNNNDDDDD!

It's time I removed the nail polish on my toes. The colours make my toenails look like Skittles, but I'm tired of them already. Right now, they look like the colours of faded spring, reminding me of the days that will never come again. 




Light blue,
Light green,
What do they remind you of?
I know that looking at my feet isn't helping you think.
XD


Mm? My sister is having her UPSR this week, and she's preparing for her singing competition. I guess not giving a damn about exams runs in the family. But wait, my mum cares. In this whole family, my mum is the person who frets for us all.



I want to dye my hair blue,
get a tattoo,
and regret later.

Samedi (Saturday) Post

I landed myself on a part-time job as a librarian. I guess this is my first part-time job... But if you count being a translator at Obsession Scans a part-time job as well, then I guess being a librarian would be my SECOND job... Hmm...

I don't know what I want to write actually... We all know that I can't write with seriousness about myself because little me just isn't the practical type. Sometimes, I wonder if knocking my head too often when I was a baby loosened the screws in my head. 

I only work once a week, 4 to 5 hours on Saturday. The very kind and understanding owner of Smalltown-Books, Mr.Ing, says that I should focus on my schoolwork instead. I didn't tell him that I don't do my homework though, in case he thinks I'm a very irresponsible person... Well, there aren't any homework to begin with. I like being at the store; surrounded by more than 3000 books just makes me feel at home. My job is simple, and I get to read so many books... I'm so happy I could die! Although, looking through the bookshelves did give me a major headache... This could be a great start for me to improve my writing and find my own unique style of telling the story.

I learnt some French today =D

French sounds really fancy, probably because they add 'la', 'le' and 'les' in front of EVERYTHING... Almost everything... I actually don't know what the 'la', 'le' and 'les' are for, but if I guessed correctly then 'la' means the, 'le' is singular and 'les' is plural... I don't know... I read a French book for kids!


Today's post title also has a French word in it. Yep, 'Samedi' is Saturday in French. 


Bread is called 'le pain' in French. I told Zongxu that I wanted some 'le pain' and he smacked me--through the phone. Shorts are called 'le shorts'... I know... They just add a 'le' in front to make it sound all fancy, Haha. Cookies are called 'le biscuit'... Candies are called 'bonbons', which in my opinion, sounds really cute. Shower is called 'douche', which reminds me of douche-bags, and soap is 'savon'. An apple would be 'le pomme' and a pear is 'le paire', if I'm not mistaken. Ah, and a cat is 'le chat' which sounds a whole lot fancier than the evil creature deserves! Kittens are... well... 'les chatton'... Acorns are called 'le bud' for some reason. Ah, let's not forget 'le escargot', which means snail in English. Oh, oh, and 'le fromage'(cheese). 

Okay, I'll stop now. I want some bonbons. 

I wonder if I should take up French, haha. Looks easier than Japanese. A whole lot easier. I think I kinda get how French works already... It sounds kinda stuck up actually, the person who invented it must be a really proud person because it sounds like everything is being scorned at, that's what I think anyway. I haven't read about the French language on Wikipedia. 

My, my, it's getting late and I'm getting sick. I wonder if I am fit to parade tomorrow.






...
I lost you,
where are you,
I can't see you,
where is the light?

Turn on the lights,
I'm going round in circles,
just looking for you.

I can't feel anything,
I'm feeling with my hands,
where are the walls,
where are the floors?

Can't you hear me calling you?
Can't you feel my desperation and loneliness?
Where are you, I ask you again.

It's wet.
It's warm.

A dim light shines.

I see you.

You're lying on the floor,
knife in your hand.

It's your blood I felt.

I stand there.
I drop to my knees...

...


Well, how was that little thing I just wrote? It was inspired by the song 'Not Tomorrow' from the OST of Silent Hill. I've been playing that song on the piano since yesterday, and I just needed to express it with some words... I still haven't completed Silent Hill because I'm too scared to continue. I need someone to play with me, so I don't get scared alone!

Stories. Future Choices. Surprises.

Recently, I'm becoming everything I hate more and more.

Never in my life have I ever thought of writing romance, but I've been getting a lot of inspiration. A romantic plot would unravel in my head every five minutes. I don't know what I want to write more, the actual love story or the 'after the big kiss' scene. The story I'm working on right now is going from bad to worse. As if that isn't bad enough, I am stuck in the scene of somebody's fiancee raping the fiancee's ex... Of course, the raping hadn't actually begun... Only... Molesting...

I want to write horror again, but with each passing year, I tend to forget bits of the style I write horror with. For those of you who read my Violin Girl series before, should I continue with a final book? It was fun writing the series, better when I had a partner-- I still remember you, idiot-- I am embarrassed to read the stories that twelve-year-old me wrote though, they probably need a lot of correcting. Now that I think of it, I was much more popular back when I was twelve.

It has been a while since I killed people I hate in my stories... It happened so often back then that I sometimes wonder how those people can still be alive. I've killed every single one of my friends at least five times already =x

Finishing the Violin Girl series crossed my mind a few years ago, but I abandoned the project halfway because I was losing confidence. The notebook is now lying in my drawer of stories, waiting for me to either finish it or tear it apart.

Did I become less violent over the years? I don't have such strong urges to kill people in stories anymore. Hmm... The more I don't care, the more I can't write... OH MY GOD! Does this mean I have to actually care to get good reasons for me to want people dead? Ah... That will be a problem indeed... Indeed...

Oh the reason why I'm even here today is because I cannot decide what to do after I graduate from high-school! There are THREE options: Mass communication, English literature, ADP(American-transfer program). The ADP is my backup plan for when I really really REALLY cannot decide. I'll leave it at that then. WELL... What do you guys think? I hate people, but I'm a people person when I need to be.

Lalalalalalala~

That aside, I CAN'T WAIT FOR LADY GAGA'S FAME TO BE IN MY POSSESSION! I don't know if  dad will get a bottle for me or not since he's not going to the US this round... What is there to get in Spain?

I have absolutely no mood for horror stories. Even though it's party time for the hungry ghosts, this year seems to be quiet... Too quiet... Ah, I don't want anything bad to happen to anyone.

I think I will blog regularly again. BAH, that is what I always say. I hope I can though, I do want to share my thoughts... WELL, not like anyone cares anyway. Personal blogs almost never get any attention... Mm... I guess it's better this way. =)


I think I won't consider English literature anymore since I gave up on Hamlet after reading the first act =-=

Sharing is caring, so everyone, I'm going to share a special blog with you guys:
