All You Need Is Love

I like watching movies, especially those with an unusual storyline and a not-so-typical ending.

One of the best romantic comedies I've ever watched in my entire 16 years is this.


You have to watch it yourself to believe the magic of this show.

Slight snippet: (and also the cutest part of the show (: )


This, really shows how you would feel when you're in love (:

Give it to Me, Baby.

Things I'm in love with now:

1. The new BMW Z4.

Saw one outside my neighbour's house. Gorgeous can live. It would be a plus if the owner was hot and young ;) Oh I just went out and have a look at it. It's still as beautiful, all its abs and muscles in the right places. (I wanted to use 'curves' but that would make me sound gay)

2. Hot Mess by Cobra Starship



3. Taylor Lautner. Oh why is he so sexy.




4. Jet-skiing, the coolest sport on earth.

Cool only when going at extreme speed. Only for adrenaline junkies :D

5. Jumpsuits


I waaaaaaaaant T.T

This, my dear female friends, is exactly why we need to grow up and marry rich husbands. Better yet, marrying Taylor Lautner. :) :)

Whose Side Are You On?

Anyone who knows me well enough would know I'm a sucker for hot abs.
Male abs of course =.=

I'm quite a Twilight fan as well. (Read carefully: Twilight, not the whole Twilight saga) I hated the New Moon book and stopped reading halfway. I never touched Eclipse and Breaking Dawn either. Because I believe nothing beats Twilight.

But obviously, to keep myself updated I went and catch the movie lah =.= I don't want to be a loser when all my friends go 'HOMG DID YOU SEE JACOB BLACK AR HOT CAN DIE!!' and I'll go 'oh no I didn't watch.' What if my friends think I'm so weird and don't want to befriend me anymore T.T

Ever since the whole Twilight craze, there has been this constant question. Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?

After watching New Moon, I finally have my answer.

How can this...


... compare to THIS?

Edward Cullen has the ugliest, most unattractive abs in the whole universe.
He'd be better off not having abs at all actually.
His abs are an insult to all abs everywhere else.
(Actually, it's not Edward, it's Robert Pattinson but who cares)

And Taylor Lautner on the other hand?
;) Juicy.

Crazy!!

As everyone can see, my blog title has changed from 'So Carmen Can Die' to 'So Carmen Can Live'.

This is because I have two people in my life who seem to think 'So Carmen Can Die' means I'm cursing myself to death. Those two superstitious people are my parents.

For about almost a year, I have been using the tagline/phrase so _______ can die to describe the things happening around me.


Eg.
'OMG that fish so big can die!'

'The Penang trip was so fun can die!'

'Wah, Daddy & Mummy, you guys really awzum can die!'

Oh wait. Cannot say that. After they think I'm cursing them as well.

Therefore, if they think I'm cursing myself, I decided to change my title. From now on, I can never die. I will live a LONG LONG PROSPEROUS AND WEALTHY LIFE WITH 3 CHILDREN, 7 GRANDCHILDREN AND A HOT HUSBAND, PLUS A BIG FAT COW NAMED BETSIE.

All because my blog title is now So Carmen Can Live.

Man, venting out felt really awzum.

Gee, Sorry!

After months of hearing about Korean boy bands and girl bands from many friends, including some very unexpected ones (WenMin!) I decided to go give a few Korean songs a listen.

Gee by Girl's Generation and Sorry Sorry by Super Junior are apparently, the famous songs lately.

The songs, I must admit, are pretty addictive.
The lines "Sorry sorry sorry sorry" and "gee gee gee gee gee" are constantly in my head. Well, those words are the only words I can understand from the whole song anyway.

Hence, post title.

But what I don't understand is the number of members in one band =____= Girl's Generation is a 9 woman strong singing group. Super Junior has 13 guys. (?!?!)




Why is the band so BIG?

I don't know why. I'm pretty sure the song would sound the same with 5 members =.= Someone enlighten me.

Britishly Gorgeous

Right now, I want nothing more but a Union Jack shirt.
T.T I found this gorgeous one in Cotton On today but wasn't willing to splurge on it because it's one for RM60 and 2 for RM75.

NO ONE WANTED TO GET ANOTHER SHIRT SO I CAN PAY LESS T.T






Oh how cruel is the world.

Story of My Life Right Now: Part I

Sunday the 15th

Went to the Chic Pop Street Market with Yu Li in hopes of finding great buys! (: It was alright I supposed. Got myself a high waisted zipper skirt but regretted a lot later because I have a dress with an almost similiar pattern to it T.T Oh well.

After this event, I told myself I will never go clubbing. Because the stench in the club can keeeeeeeeeeel you. First you get all nauseous, next you feel like throwing up and finally you just want to die. Yes, that bad.


Monday the 16th


Ang Hui Li's Sweet Sixteen @ Extra Super Tanker, Bukit Utama :D Among activities:
  • Prawn eating competition
  • Karaoke
  • I Never (played with a plate of vegetables)
  • Dare or Dare hahaha.
  • Most importantly, we celebrated Hui Li turning 16 and yes I'm sure it was an awzum and memorable day for her! =)
Very intense prawn eating competition.


Happy Birthday =)


To Hui Li, you are honestly one of the nicest people I've ever met. I don't think there's anyone else similiar to you, because you are unique as you are. You are smart and awzum, yet you seem always humble. You are always yourself, never trying to be someone else. And this is why I think you're an awzumzum friend! So, enjoy being sixteen for a whole year =)


Tuesday the 17th

Igudesman and Joo: A Little Nightmare Music @ Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, KLCC

In my opinion, it was awzum can die :) Not everyone's cup of tea, but I super enjoyed it and I believe my entourage agrees. Definitely amazing.

Other shameless things we did:

The Girls. I do not like this picture =/


On Facebook, the caption is: Rachel punching some ball.


heeh heeh.


So that is part of what I have been doing for the past few days.
Yes, including trying to break into Tiffany & Co. (:

Jumble Sale!

Hello!

I just came across an old friend's blog and happened to read a post on how she hates the new SPM system. The whole 10-subject limit issue. Hm, I know a lot of other people who despise this system as well.

When I first heard this piece of news, yes I was equally as pissed and upset as most students would be. But after calming down and slowly thinking about it, I realized it's not much big of a deal. As a matter of fact, the pros of this system soon began to outweigh the cons. I started to understand the whole point of this system and began to like it.

The main point many people oppose to this system is because they feel like they are not given freedom of choice. As in, they feel that they can handle more subjects than others and therefore they should be allowed to take more than 10 subjects. Then again, is there ANY point in taking so many subjects? Taking extra subjects like Accounts, English literature, Economics; would that help much in life if you plan to be a doctor or a chemist? Not really right? The only reason why people would want to take so many subjects is because of a serious attitude problem, known to many as the 'kiasu' spirit. Because of the urge to win and seem more superior than everyone, people drive themselves to study so hard just for more A's.


I believe one reason this system was implemented is to eradicate this mentality. In a way, it is also better for all the students. Everyone will be studying the same amount, so no one will say that the system is unfair! It's like marks in an examination; the maximum mark you can get is a 100, so everyone will strive for 100, and no one will get 110. I like (: We also don't have to push ourselves to study so much anymore. If there wasn't this system in place, I would be taking Accounts most probably, which means one extra subject to read on.


Also, this system makes the examination results really really clear. One look and you can spot the best students already. If we used the old system, it's pretty hard to see whether an all A student who took 9 subjects or an 11A student who took 12 subjects is smarter. Just because Mr.11A has more A's, doesn't mean Mr.9A is less clever. Now, at least we know the top students are those who can get 10A's, followed by 9A's, 8A's and so on. Scholarship applications would be processed with much more ease and students cannot complain about it because truth be told, the system is actually pretty good.


Furthermore, most SMK students are taking 9 subjects, which means they still can choose another subject if they really want to. So, we STILL get freedom of choice! Unless you're from my school, where Chinese is compulsory and therefore fulfills the 10-subject limit quota. I am still okay with it though. As long as I'm still taking the vital subjects I require to help me achieve my ambition, I am pleased.

My debate seniors debated on this before, and I quote one of them.
'It isn't the quantity of A's that we're looking for, it's the quality of A's that is important.'

I hope this post convinces all of you who are still upset with the system (:

Scream City

I am generally a very self conscious person (except when I'm high & ecstatic).
I hate making a fool out of myself.
I cannot sleep in peace for days once that happens.

Why, oh why?

Two Posts in a Day Pretty Much Proves I'm Bored


This is Kesha.
Pronounced Keh-sha. I found out today.
The girl who sang the very addictive song called Tik Tok.

Don't you guys think she looks very much like Taylor Swift?


I think Kesha is Taylor's evil twin sister.
In Kah Jo's words, Kesha is the sluttier wilder version of Taylor.
Quite correct right?

Think About It.

Some time ago, a friend had a blonde moment.

I Friend

My tuition teacher travels to the funniest places ever.
Where?
Nigeria.
O.O Whats wrong with Nigeria? Isn't it very pretty?
*stun*
OH OH OH NIGERIA. I thought you said Niagara!

This is Niagara Falls. :) pretty, isn't it?

This is Nigeria. :(


It makes me ponder.
How two places on Earth with almost similiar names,
is in fact heaven and hell.

Today, I disappointed myself and everyone around me.

Today happens to be one of those days where I want to hide in a dark hole and never come out.

Thank God for good friends and lemon poppy seed cupcakes.

Nothing Beats This


One of the best feelings in the world, for me at least, is the exhilaration from jogging. When sweat trickles and drips down my head, my back, I know I’m losing weight :D When I run to the beat of Mad as Rabbits by Panic! at the Disco, I feel invincible. So long have I not felt this feeling.

For I, Queen of Procrastination (yes Rachel Gan, me, not you) can never find time to jog. Almost always due to drama series addiction or the Sims 3 or I’m just too plain… lazy.

Seeing as I’ve postponed jogging for too long already, I decided to have a nice run around the neighbourhood today, and boy, it felt so awzum. That feeling came back. My legs grew wings. Adrenaline was pumping. I felt a kind of powerful force, pushing me to run faster, harder, longer and go the distance like Rocky hahaha. And then, the rain came, and well, rained on my parade =.=

But still! It was a very awesome 20 minutes jog, and I am definitely going to be jogging more often in the future! *determined tone

Yes, nothing beats the running high. :) Nothing.

I need someone to decipher me!

Greetings!

Lately life has been certainly monotonous and dull. Everyday I run through the same routine :

  • Go to school (occasionally, depending on my mood)
  • Play the Sims 3 and get bored.
  • Watch an episode per day of Gossip Girl Season 3
  • Drool over Chuck Bass
  • Plan to go jogging but always end up procrastinating due to laziness.
  • Thus, end up gaining more weight.
  • This is depressing.
  • I need to go out and have fun.
  • Okay fine, this is not helping in any way.
  • Bye.

Warning: Catastrophe.

Hello everybody!

I am not amused.

In other words I am bored. Really bored.

Bittersweet

So today was the All American Rejects concert! :) :) :)


I've always heard that AAR is one band that performs really well live, and yes I was not disappointed. They put on an awzum performance, and I still have Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down) stuck in my head.

You can sit beside me when the world comes down,
If it doesn't matter, then just turn around.
You'll be my queen, and I'll be your clown,
you can sit beside me when the world comes down.

So it was really an enjoyable concert overall, except for the fact that some moments were ruined by some very very inconsiderate and mean people. :(

a) people who smoke during the concert.

For goodness sake lah right, you're in an area with a 10,000 strong crowd packed like sardines. Everyone is sweaty and stuffy and you have to go and make things worse by smoking your stupid cigarette. I generally do not have anything against smokers, but I think smoking like that in public when there's so many other non-smokers around you is just, crazy. Who do you think you are, really? Tyson Ritter's father? Or does the venue belong to your grandfather or something, for you to be puffing away taking your own sweet time while the crowd around you DIES from your smoke. I really only have one word for these people : Idiots.

I thank God I'm not the only one thinking like this. This dude right, he started smoking in the middle of the concert and all the people around him started banging him and shouting STOP IT LAH! STOP SMOKING! DUDE, GET A LIFE LAH! Hahaha I was pretty satisfied when the guy threw his cigarette away.

b) people who push and push and push and push and push their way relentlessly through the crowd just to make it to the front DURING THE CONCERT.

I am okay with people who try the get the best spots before the concert, because well it hasn't started and if you get a good place, good for you because you know how to hunt for good places! Sadly, some people who came in late or just didn't manage to get good seats come and squeeze here and there while everyone is trying to enjoy the concert! It gets reeeallly irritating especially when you just want to enjoy and jump and sway to the music then suddenly you feel squashed because someone is trying to push his way through.

At one point, I was so upset with this guy for squeezing through i just kicked him furiously over and over again. Ah, it felt good.

c) people who have no life and no standards whatsoever.

I saw with my own eyes how this group of people stole DSLR cameras from the media photographers and reporters. And they took more than one of the cameras. Worse, they didn't even bother to conceal what they just did. They took the things they stole, and just walked off. Which really pisses me off because, come on lah, the camera might mean money to you but it could mean a job to someone else alright? Why stoop to such low standards just for money? I was really upset at that time and that sort of disrupted my happy mood for awhile.

We wanted to see what we could do to solve the situation, but those thieves looked at us as if they will come after us with a parang if we say anything.



Honestly, I don't know what is wrong with such people.

p.s. after Aerobics session today, walking around at the Calvary Carnival and jumping to AAR's songs, i desperately need a really good foot massage. :(
