I mean...

My last post was April 17th and I was 17.

But noww I am 18. Happy day.

Birthday was really great.
I've got some pretty wonderful friends and a wikicool fam.
Was totally feeling the love.

Haven't really slept that much. So, so tired.

I'm sensing that things are changing. I don't what things, or how or why.
But they definitely are.

Hmm.

There are some key phrases I use all the time that have just GOT to go.
That's fun.
I mean...
What fun.
Pretty great.
Totally.
Definitely.
Wonderful.

That's not cool.

I mean. I say them all the time. Enough is enough.
Some of them are pretty fun. Maybe I'll just try and use them minimally.
Yeah that's what I'll do.

This properr makes me laugh.
Really fun film. Maybe that's just cos I totally love Jim Carrey...
Although, I think his time in the movie world is over now? Maybe he could adopt a new role?

Sweet.

And I wrote our names in the sand so that our secret was kept safe,
between you and me and the sea ♥

A Photo That Makes Me Angry/Sad


This picture makes me sad for a couple of reasons.
It's a picture of my uncle. My mum's little brother.
I guess it makes me sad cos it reminds me of my childhood which is long gone.
He used to live with us and we were real close.
But then there were immigration visa complications and he had to go back to Malaysia.
I was so so upset, and it sucked maajorr wang, cos there are some idiot wasteman illegal immigrants in this country living off benefits and doing stupidnesss meanwhile, my uncle was here contributing to society, he was a solicitor, had bought a house and all that.
But yeah whateverr...
Also since my amachi died, he's like broken.
It's so rubbishh. But he's a trouper, and he still never fails to make me laugh with his wisecracks when we talk on the phone.
He's wicked.

Deffo missing them.

My Favourite Quote



Therefore, if anyone
is in Christ, he is
a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

- 2 Corinthians 5:17

A lot of others. But at the moment, this one is the solo flyer.

My Favourite Book

The B-I-B-L-E. That's the book for me. I stand alone on The Word of God. The B-I-B-L-E. :)

Quality stuff right there I tell you.
It's pretty much in a different league to all other books.
God wrote this one. It's fiyaahh.

Run, Baby, Run.

Gangs. Hatred. Violence. Sex. --> God. Love. Redemption. New Life.
The story of Nicky Cruz told so eloquently. Set in New York in the 50s. Sick language. It's compelling.

A Sunday At The Pool In Kigali.

This book made me cry. Cry like I was ripping off a whole row of plasters that had been on for a year from my arm.
I don't remember exactly its perspective or the storyline really.
All I remember is that it was set in Rwanda. And basically just told of all the horrors of the genocide and events surrounding it, much like Hotel Rwanda. Juxtaposed with a love story I think. (I'm gonna check) The thing that stuck with me most from the book was the recurrent descriptions of helpless women being raped and innocents being hacked to death. So horrible and so moving.

My Favourite Television Programme

GREY'S ANATOMY.

Hello high-intensity medical drama sprinkled with scandalous sexual shenanigans; heart-wrenching stories; a deep moral lesson or fact of life shared so eloquently by the protagonist with a classic voice-over and review of each character's situation; a genius, non-cheesy script; some gorgeous actors and a whole load of blood and guts every now and then. LAVEITT.

The classic Friends.

Although I know what happens in every episode, it never fails to amuse me. Never.
That's the sign of a good comedy. Timeless.

Desperate Housewives.

I'm not even a proper like devotee. I just love love the way it's done. The structure of each episode. How cleverly everything is linked together. Again, there's a great voice-over. It is just such an enjoyable watch. Wonderful.

My Favourite Movie

I'm gonna go right out there and say it...

Sister Act 2.

I just can't get enough.
Could be because of my love for Lauryn Hill and her insaaaanely gorgeous voice.
Why did she not come up in any of my favourite songs. Uhoh. Definitely contemplated her though :(
It's also really just a great film. Great storyline. Well written.
Just genius. Fun for the whole family. Yeah.

Mulan is also a definite fave. I like the whole tough girl fighter chick. I think Mulan is reeally cool. And also Shang is a hottieee.

She's The Man. Hahahahaha. Such a jokes movie. Amanda Bynes is a funny lady. Wicked storyline too. And I LOVE Channing Tatum.

There are others. Many others. But I will stop there.


My Favourite Song

I think this is the hardest thing one could possibly ask me.

Maybe I could do some sort of categorical answer?

Favourite song to sing: Bow Down and Worship Him

Favourite song to listen to and not sing along to: ... Monti - Czardas ;)

Favourite song to listen to and run all over: Jesus, Lover of my soul and Yahweh or Higher - Mali Music

Favourite song to play: You Don't Know My Name - Alicia Keys and Breathless - Corrine Bailey Rae

Favourite song to get my freak on to: Hey Goldmember - B, Austin Powers OST and

Favourite song to bop my head to in a vehicle: Roxanne - Sting & The Police and Amerie - Take Control

I could go on. But I think I'll stop there :)
And there's totally like a gazillion other songs that I haven't been able to think of right now.
I wish I had just one favourite song, that ticked every box. It would make life so muchh easier...
There's got to be one.
I'll find out what it is, in due course.

Hiyaaa

Cannot believe this blog hasn't seen html coding in over a month.
Sad times.
Month of March, I hope you don't feel upset that you didn't make it. I'm sorry.

It was a good month though.
A real good month.

- I passed my grade 8 piano exam. Definitely did not think I would - Jesus is Lord.
- Did the music festival at school. Fun. Two time ensemble class winners baby. Six <3
- My driving instructor declared his love/lust for me. He's 55. My feminist friends were outraged. As was my father :/ I now have a new instructor. His name is Scott.
- I went clothes shopping for the first time this year, I kid you not. I'm quite possibly the worst shopper in existence. Indecisive should be my middle name.
- I loved certain people more and more as the minutes of March marched on.
- A2 Drama Practical: stressful times. All paid off I think. Love for my drama buds grew. Acting is a funny thing. What are we trying to do by pretending to be someone that we're not.
- I did some things I wasn't proud of. That's definitely not unique to March.
- I learned a lot of things. And ditto.
- Did some writing. Not as much as I would have hoped.
- Got the first paycheque of the new job. New job which I'm totally loving.
- Went to the cinema for £3.95! I love Empire Cinemas. (The film was not the one however)
- Caught up with an old friend.

Yeah. That's pretty much it I think.
Something else will come to me later.

ANYWAY.
Stole this from tumblr.com, but I don't think they'll mind.
I just felt I should blog, but was at a loss of what to say.
So I thought I could do this...

But instead of days, I think I'll just do as many as I can before my bed hollas.
