Freedom

Damn I miss that feeling. The feeling of walking out of the exam hall and knowing YOU DON'T HAVE TO PICK UP A BOOK OR NOTES until next sem.

WOOT.

Sorry Thomas.

Now, on to finding a new place to stay and settling down.

Emo

No it's not Elmo, it's emo.

After reading a few ranting posts of Thomas' blog, I feel the need to likewise express my thoughts on some SUPER COMMON misconceptions and misunderstanding of the word emo.

Emo is not a mood or a temporary attitude of a person, contrary to many people's beliefs. Us Asians tend to immediately link a person who is suddenly and inexplicably quiet, reserved or has some other withdrawn, sullen demeanour. What will we say?

Eh. Why're you emo-ing?

Or we could talk behind his/her back and say Why's he/she emo-ing?

Emo doesn't necessarily mean a short form of the word emotional. Emo is ACTUALLY:

- A style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. - Wikipedia

- A genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle. - Urban Dictionary

- A culture or music style somewhat similar to Goth people. - Own definition ^^

Please do not wrongly use 'emo' to describe people, cuz 'emo' is a vast culture from the US. You haven't seen 'an' emo yet. So please, do not label people who are suddenly quiet, fuming inside, sullen, sulking etc, AS AN EMO.

We humans have emotions, obviously. Being emotional is what makes us human. So to call a certain person 'emo' is kinda weird isn't it? We all have emotions, so why state the obvious? I do not know who invented the mindset of emo in our country but I AM GROWING TIRED of being called AND seeing people getting called emo just because they are playing moving, emotional music on the piano? Listening to emotional music? Sulking? Suddenly quiet because of some internal disagreement?

Enough. I am not emo. We are not emo. Emo does not exist in our country.

Yet.


But you argue, then how about all those emo music? people moping around emo-ing cuz of their bf/gf?

Let me ask you, are all music composers who make music emo? Obviously don't look at mainstream etc. Are all instrumental music emo?

IS YIRUMA EMO?

Suck on that for a while. We are not emo. Distinguish sulking vs emo vs passionate please.

THIS IS EMO:




Still not convinced? Go and Google the three letters emo. I dare you to.



p.s. Just a random rant, to get some exam stress out ^^

Time goes by... So soon.

Holy crap. I've hardly noticed that I've had this blog for years! Nearly 5 years now! Although I don't blog much like you, Thomas or other people who have more interesting lives, it is oddly satisfying seeing that this blog has been around for some time.

Now that's what I call dedication. Other like-minded bloggers have probably killed their blogs ages ago when writing or inspiration doesn't come by. (cough cough) I definitely don't visit my own blog for ages some times but it sure feels good to have you still standing. =)

Special thanks goes out to my lil sis; sibling to a proud brother, and good ol Thomas, friend to a friend, for giving me inspiration, competition, and something to blog about HAHA. Love ya guys, all of you.

If you've still been visiting this blog from time to time, my heartfelt thanks to you guys, you make blogging so worth it. Cheers!

So Race Is....

Man.... Just when I thought he'd left for good the bugger comes back. Remember that ex housemate of mine? The oddball Viet dude?

Guess who's back.

Back again.

He-He's back.

Run to the end!

And the first thing I asked him was

Hey hi how're you?

Good. Andh hyu?

I'm good. Thanks.

Nuh I don't think so.

What?

Your face. Its been better.

*permastun*

He's probably referring to my volcanic face. Meh. FML
