    Twilight Saga must die! I hate it. Yesterday, there was a married couple who wanted their first floor living room, dining room, and one other room to have this Twilight inspired remodeling on this show Color Splash. Gosh! The wife likes Twilight and even got her husband into the book series. Oh what is the world coming to? They were saying how they had DVDs to the movies and how it can be watched and rewatched many times. BARF!!!!!!!!! Stephenie Meyer I wish you would stop writing all that BS about sparkly vampires and stupid hot head werewolves.
    I just love how you Captivate My Mind

    Self reminder - Update blog more often and continue editing/writing for TOV fanfic.

    I am considered a Cantonese simply because my father is a Cantonese; my mother isn't. There just isn't such thing as a half-Cantonese, half-something.

    I grew up to be kind of a feminist (I say kind of because my thoughts aren't so pure at times).

    I'm not going to take on my mother's last name anytime soon, though, partly because her family name's a difficult one (it sounds like the Chinese word NONE, which makes naming really difficult and my name will instantly turn negative).
    We live in a patriarchal society. Can't help it. I also wondering the same when I was growing up. In the Chinese funeral, some rites only the son or the eldest male grandchild can do. Very unfair.

    Time has changed though. In my family, it is my fifth sister who is the most capable. In all family affairs (even the funeral of my dad), she is the leader though she is sixth in line of siblings.

    I've never met anyone who likes it; different generation I guess.

    I stand in one place for a long time and see many people come and go. I'm starting to feel the need to go somewhere too. I guess I feel left behind.

    Every thought of returning back to Home Sweet Home feels lovely. Every thought of going over to my aunty's house feels dreadful and uneasy. Due to her dodgy habits and feels restricted.
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?

    Care to try that again with sentence structure and syntax?

    The problem with sharing a forum with an English teacher is that you can't get away with mutilated grammar.

    Sex With Animals Will Give You Penis Cancer:

    "Researchers studied 432 men between 18 and 80 years old in rural Brazil, 118 of whom had penile cancer. Of those with the disease, 35 percent reported that they had had sex with horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals."

    I don't know what to make of this.

    I don't know what kind of budget he's on, but $70 is not a budget headphone in my mind.

    How Spontaneous Human Combustion Works

    This was one of the things that terrorized my childhood. I'm relieved to know there's a plausible scientific explanation.

    I hate it when people pretend that they have interests in whatever it is I'm doing only to get me to listen to what they want to say.

    Would you rather they say "Hey, I don't care what you're doing, but I want you to listen to what I'm about to say"?

    Because I'm talking about strangers, I'd rather they not approach me at all. On campus, there are many people that would approach me by saying something like "excuse me, do you have a minute?" or something similar and then tell me about their cause and stuff. That, I don't mind. I guess my problem is that I have a hard time saying no sometimes.

    I was told an interesting fact the other day. In France, if you smile at someone, it is an invitation for them to come over and talk to you. Americans are smiley people but the French are not. French people can tell who are Americans right away because we are overly smiley.
    I like me.

    Hahahaha! Certainly, for you, Mr. Cheng. Since you care to correct and better my English.

    Hmmm, how about... It feels lovely whenever the thought of going-back-to-Home-Sweet-Home comes to my mind. On the other hand, it feels dreadful and uneasy whenever I thought of going to my aunty's house due to her dodgy habits and, I feel restricted.

    There, Mr. Cheng

    And you can easily tell one is a French when they speak with their nose (that very strong accent)
