Pointless

I just want to burst into tears for no good reason.

Stupid hormones.

Typing this post seemed like such a good idea.

I want to fly away.

Honestly, right now, i’d give anything to be a bird.

Isn’t summer supposed to be a happy time? I feel caged, oh hey I sound like my 19 year old self! YAY! whoopdef*ckingdo!

How is your summer coming along? Put a caption on the picture below?

Of dumb things and people. Cryptic post is… cryptic.

The title is uber clever right? -_-

So, I did something extremely dumb. I won’t say whether I did it yesterday or a couple of days ago because that’ll be like giving away too much information.

But, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve officially lost my appetite. (it’s got nothing to do with love, if that’s what you are thinking… aha! you were thinking that, weren’t you?)

The thing with stupid things is that once you start doing them, they just suck you in and you want to do more. One minute you’ll be like, ‘oh hey! I don’t want to do this because I am a rational and a logical human being right?’ right *insert an exasperated expression here* and the next thing you know, ‘BAM! STUPID STUPID STUPID’.

I want to tell myself, this too shall pass but my stomach is in knots. I feel sick. No, I didn’t kill or hurt anyone. Geez.

Does this happen to you? Do you feel this way sometimes?

oh hey, this time, next year… JAPAN! BAM!

There you go, just a little update.

P.S: This is exactly why I have come to fear socializing, makes sense?

I wish I had bothered instagramming that but oh hey… 😀 *what has been seen cannot be unseen* wheee!

Also, I need an undo button in my life. Do you?

Day of Silence

So I saw on t’s blog that 20th April is the day of silence and I thought I’ll share something with you guys. Also, give t’s blog a visit to find out more about the ‘day of silence’.

So over the past few weeks I have noticed a trend, and I thought I’ll talk about it. Well its about gay paranoia! What is up with that?

Some of my guy friends have been complaining that they don’t want to hang around gay people. Firstly no one is forcing you to and secondly if you don’t want to then just don’t. gay or straight what is the difference really? Do you judge a musician who is gay and say your music is gay because you are gay! pretty absurd right? then why judge people?

I have a ton of gay friends and they are some of the nicest people i have ever met. They don’t hit on straight guys and they have a standard too you know.

What the hell do you mean when you say keep the gays away. Do gay people say keep the straight away? Pretty ridiculous if you think about it.

Sex and Gender are two completely separate things, and if you judge gay people then apparently you wouldn’t know you uneducated oaf!

In the context of Singapore a lot of people have been coming out of the closet, which I think is a great thing because there is no point living a fake existence trying to please society, if you are that way then so be it *lady gaga’s born this way is playing in my head right now!* However the public display of affection is a totally separate issue altogether. I do not like to see people drenching each other in saliva, be it gay or straight, but hey that is just my opinion!

Furthermore to my gay friends, I love and respect you guys. Peace.

The Hunger Games or as Charles Darwin refers to it, The Survival of the Fittest

Ok so I know I should be focusing on The Uninspired Chronicles, but I just had to do this post!

A few disclaimers first: I haven’t read the book and I am not claiming to be a fan of the series!
I won’t lie, I was a bit skeptical at first, what with all the negativity and the racist remarks being made about the casting. Honestly, it is just a movie! learn to enjoy it!

The Hunger Games

Likes: 

First off, the movie has a very Nazi Holocaust meets Survivor vibe to it. Holocaust was evil and well so is the Hunger Games. No, I am not saying that I love the Holocaust or evil people but that the plot was interesting! *GEEZ*

The Game maker and some of the people staying in the city looked like clones of the Jersey Shore cast * Oh the HORRORS* and I guess it doesn’t help that they were a bunch of sadistic looneys…

BUT

…the rest of the people staying in the city looked like they had just jumped right out of Alice in Wonderland and were high on LSD. Oh how delightful 😀 Loved their costumes, I mean what’s not to like?

Colorful… GOOD!
Shiny… GOOD!

*I totally didn’t copy that line from Joey (FRIENDS) because I am original!wheeeee!*

Loved Katniss, the lead, because she kicked some serious butt. I guess that’s the biggest reason why I liked the movie, there is just something so compelling about strong and independent women!

Also, Katniss wears a gown during the introduction ceremony thingy and when she twirls in it, flames come out. COME ON! everyone loves gowns that they can automatically set on fire right? I mean that’s totally not a fire hazard? right? right? NO! -_- I can totally imagine Lady Gaga wearing that gown though! Plus who needs pepper spray when they have flammable gowns! Take that rapists and creepy stalkers! So oh well that still goes in the list of likes!

Loved Rue, she was such a doll. It’s beyond me why anyone would hate on her. It’s like hating Bambi. NOT POSSIBLE!

Oh and yes the movie teaches us the importance of friendship blah blah blah… BOOOORRIINNGG! No but seriously that made me cry 😐 *awkward*……moving on……

Dislikes

The romance between Katniss and Peeta seemed very forced. Also, it didn’t help that the guy sitting behind me started giggling like a 5 year old girl when Katniss and Peeta were about to share a kiss. -_- AND they didn’t even kiss! BUZZKILL!

Also, didn’t quite like the moving and shaking camera bit. I get it that the Black Swan has made that cool but seriously Hollywood unless you are trying to organize a puke fest please don’t do that again. Thank you.

What the movie is all about or what I make of it anyways…

At the end of the day, the movie is really about the world as we know it today. Kill each other, use each other and call yourself a winner 😀

It’s just survival of the fittest and I believe Charles Darwin has a few words to say about the matter…

P.S: I know that Herbert Spencer coined the phrase, “the survival of the fittest” but let’s not get into too much detail. Darwin won’t like it, trust me I know.

Have you guys seen it? If so, what are your views?

To the hater who left me a comment 2 days ago…Yes yes my blog name is riatarded and I know it rhymes with retarded but be a little original. Okay? Thank you 😀

Growing Up – Wait a minute, this is not what I signed up for!

I am 25, well almost, and I am fortunate to have a mother who apart from occasionally asking me, “hey, so when are you planning to settle down?” doesn’t really push me to date or to marry and trust me that is lucky, considering the fact that I come from an Asian family. Let’s just say Asian parents have a penchant for trying to get involved in their child’s love life and yes I know that they have the child’s best interest at heart but sometimes, just sometimes, it can get more than a little annoying.

But that’s besides the point, the point is, to date I have had a really romanticized notion of marriage. Hey! Don’t blame me! Blame Disney. Ah good old Disney has put a lot of other things in my head too but I will deal with them later. Riatarded is really serious today and she means business!

I always, well at least till now, have been under the impression that people fall in love and they live happily ever after. Trust me, I still want to believe that but experience has taught me otherwise and don’t they say that experience is a darned good teacher? For the past two months, I have been living alone with my sister and that IS like a marriage in more ways than you can imagine. Well lets just say that my sister is the kind of person who is really busy and who needs to be pushed before she can get any household chores done. I have to do her laundry, do her dishes, cook for her and help her out with her school work, which was fine for a week or two but its getting out of hand and it has made me realize that the type of commitment, i.e marriage, that I have always thought that I am ready for, I am not ready for it.

Growing up has been very different from what I expected it to be. It’s a lot of responsibility and I am really not quite sure if I am ready to take on that sort of responsibility on a permanent basis. Also, I salute my mom and moms in general, this is hard work and I honestly don’t know how you guys do it but you guys are awesome

Do things get better as you get older? I know I sound really whiny but I would love to hear from you guys.

Things on My Mind

Thingy number 1

So there is this person (I may or may not have a giant, titanic sized, mega crush on him) who asked people to help him out with something and I said Yes! and he said, “well I will talk to you via DM” (direct messages on twitter). As expected, I got really excited BUT (oh! oh!) since that day, he has been ignoring my tweets. Now, this thing that he needed help with, is open to public and I could just go right ahead and do it. Should I?

I know I  sound like a teenager right now but I honestly don’t know what to do.

Signed

Clueless

Thingy number 2

Everyone thinks about getting famous (don’t even deny it!) and there is a trend that people change their names in order to get famous; Lady Gaga did it, Lana Del Rey did it, James Dean did it (to a certain extent that is), Rebecca Black didn’t do it (well that explains a lot!). So keeping up with the holy tradition of name changing, I have decided that if I ever want to get famous, then I would have to change my name too. Sadly, I can’t think of anything beyond chunky funky monkey. Obviously, suggestions are welcome. If you were to choose a stage name for yourself, what would it be? 

Thingy Number 3

Louis Vuitton Condoms. What the hell! Why will anyone want to buy designer condoms that cost $68? Would you be willing to buy them? 

It’s a “miracle”

I am talking about the miracle of birth and I have used quotation marks because…

I am honestly sick of how much air time pregnant celebrities get! Apart from the Kardashians, it is the second most annoying thing. Toddlers and Tiaras is a close third.

Beyonce just gave birth? Guess what? so did thousands of other girls.

A new child is born every 8 seconds into this world and some of those mothers are underaged! And you know what they get? Horrible sounding diseases!

Because while you are oh so busy building a million dollar nursery for your baby, some little girl across the world is waiting to be fed and is hoping for sanitation, medication and basic hygiene.

And NO those girls do not only reside in Africa. That’s a stereotype, get educated.

My problem is not overspending, I don’t care how much money celebrities want to spend but they aren’t doing something extraordinary that needs to be publicized. My grandmother gave birth to 13 kids, want to cover that story?

So dear media, stop showing bulls*** on TV and talk about things that matter. How about giving the same coverage to the case of the Missouri teen who killed a 9 year old just to find out what killing someone feels like?

Oh and dear celebrities, who apparently like to pose butt naked for magazinges while you are pregnant, IT IS NOT CUTE or sexy.

Do people like seeing butt naked pregnant ladies? I have seen some pretty mean comments on youtube videos uploaded by normal people. But of course these same commenters gush over pregnant celebrities *Rolls eyes*.

Do you think the Media should continue to devote a significant amount of air time to celebrity pregnancy stories? 

 

 

Back to Basics: Are you not potty trained?

You know who you are!

Seriously, are you not potty trained?

Why on earth do people not flush after using the toilet? It’s not that hard really! It’s super gross and unless you are a caveman who digs a hole to poop in, this is unforgivable!

Airports should seriously start imposing fines on people who don’t flush or wet the floor.

LEARN TO AIM!  

Posters advising people on the flushing process could be highly effective as well.

So dear adults, who apparently don’t know anything about flushing or using the toilet, next time you are at a bookstore pick up a book to get potty trained. It is a life skill you could really use. If not, carry a shovel and go dig a hole and stop dirtying toilets.

Oh and please don’t even try to tell me that you were in a hurry and were about to miss your flight. Why?  Because once you leave your “stuff” un flushed, people curse you and you will probably be missing your flights for a long long time to come.
