Incept Me

School is starting tomorrow. I’m kind of in denial right now because I have an extreme aversion to anything related to school. I’ve been freaking out ever since I came to the realization that school would be starting on August the 20th. And by ‘freak out’, I don’t mean I’ve been running screaming “NOO SCHOOL IS STARTING MY LIFE IS OVER!”. I’ve just been stuck in this phase I’d like call ‘whatever mode’ where I’m all like whatevezzz it’s cool but inside, I’m like omgomgomg I’m going to quit school, just screw the educational system because I’m going to become a nun.

I’ve been spending my final week as a free human doing very enlightening things such as:

1) Having ‘How I Met Your Mother’ marathons
2) Eating…food
3) Ringing the doorbell really loudly to get the neighbour’s dog to bark
4) Contemplating eating the neighbour’s dog because he looks like a wad of cotton candy
5) Having Harry Potter wand duels with my dad using our iPhones

Plus today, I watched ‘Inception’ in the theaters and it was pretty amazing. I thought I was going to get really confused as most Christopher Nolan movies tend to have that effect on me but it was surprisingly confusion-free for most parts. The movie really gets you thinking about what’s real and what’s not. I mean, for all we know, we could be living in a dream. At the end of the movie, I was like WHERE AM I? WHAT IS THIS? AM I DREAMING ABOUT DREAMING ABOUT WATCHING INCEPTION OR AM I REALLY WATCHING INCEPTION OR IS THIS MOVIE A DREAM WHERE IM DREAMING ABOUT BEING IN THE CINEMA DREAMING ABOUT WATCHING A MOVIE WHERE PEOPLE GO INTO PEOPLES DREAMS.

Even before watching ‘Inception’, I’ve had thoughts of whether I might be living in a dream. There was this once when I had the idea that I might actually be in a coma and I’m living in a dream that I’m having while in a comatose state. So one day I’ll wake up and years have gone by and there’s this big chunk of my life that never existed.

So anyway I’m going to go to sleep now because it’s Doomsday aka First Day of School tomorrow. Hopefully, when I go to bed, I’ll either wake up to a better reality or be trapped in a dream where everything is really awesome.

Miss Hong Kong

So I watched Miss Hong Kong live at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Sunday because my mom had tickets. It was actually the second time I’ve watched it on stage, the last time I went, I was 5 so I fell asleep (I was a big sleeper back then, you could scream into my ear and I would still be sleeping). I don’t really remember what happened the last time I went since I was unconscious.

I never liked Miss Hong Kong pageants because a) it’s sexist, b) the girls seem so shallow and superficial and c) most of the contenders look like plastics. The girls people consider ‘pretty’ are usually these cheap looking girls with fake/plastic faces. I can’t even tell the difference between some of them because they’re all like freaking Bratz dolls.

The show mainly consisted of the girls doing these really retarded things that made me want to cringe. Like in the beginning, they did a candy ‘dance’ where they kicked their feet around and brought their fingers up to their lips and winked at the camera. But personally, I don’t see anything attractive about posing like Doctor Evil.


The whole thing was like watching a live action Cardcaptor Sakura or one of those anime shows where the girls ‘transform’. It’s cute when it’s an anime but when you do that stuff in real life, it gets a bit creepy.

The worst part was when they had to walk around in skimpy bikinis and answer questions that are supposedly relevant to society like “Should kids wear bikinis to school?”. The fact that they’re asked such callous questions is a travesty in itself, but then they have to stand there in a bikini while they’re answering them. It’s like they’re walking sex furniture or something.

Half way through the pageant, there were these performances by some famous people (who you probably won’t know unless you live in Hong Kong or watch TVB).


This looks like an orgy scene but it’s actually Raymond Lam, Kate Tsui and Ron Ng performing a song
Then after that, Kevin Cheng and Raymond Wong appeared in a white sports car and started singing something that didn’t sound half bad and past Miss HK winners came on stage to dance with them


The girls posing at the front are the past Miss Hong Kong winners. I can only recognize Aimee Chan, Mandy Cho and Tracy Ip. Kevin Cheng and Raymond Wong are the guys standing next the white sports car, surrounded by slutty dancers
Near the end, as they were about to call out the final four, all the girls started crying because they said they would really miss each other. And the old man sitting in front of us was like “WOW THAT’S REALLY SEXY. I AM SO TURNED ON RIGHT NOW!” The security guard thought he was a pedophile so he went up to him and asked to see his tickets.

Anyway, after a lot of weeping and drum rolls, they announced the 2010 Miss Hong Kong…


She’s one of the better looking ones in the competition but her smile still creeps me out
So even though I’m not a big fan of Miss Hong Kong pageants, it’s kind of a guilty pleasure because it’s good to know who wins as the winners usually go on to become celebrities and when they’re all famous you can be like “I KNEW HER BEFORE SHE WAS FAMOUS HAHA LOSERS.” Plus you get to make fun of the weird things they have on set like this unicorn:

School’s Out

School’s finally out for the summer! No more trudging up ten flights of stairs or listening to teachers drone on about how incompetent we are.

The last week of school was pretty typical. Our Philosophy/RS teacher decided to freak the crap out of us. He was like, “Since it’s our last day together, I’ll show you a video that helped me while I was mentally depressed. It helped me get in touch with God.” Everyone was all silent but in our minds, we were like what? Isn’t he like an atheist or something? No one said anything because he made it sound like it was serious business. So we were watching it there was this woman meditating and doing yoga. Then a few minutes into the video, one of those ghost heads pop up and there was a blood curling scream. I didn’t get my crap freaked because I wasn’t concentrating real hard on the video, I just thought it was hilarious. I don’t think anyone else was freaked out either, they were just wearing WTF expressions on their faces.

I’m not going anywhere this summer nor do I have any life changing plans. I might just stay at home and eat ice cream. It’s not as if I have anything better to do. Everyone else is probably out drinking and going clubbing. But nope, not me. I’m just going to sit on the sofa and eat Ben and Jerry’s.

I don’t know how I’m going to spend all this free time. Summer really freaks me out sometimes because I keep trying to be productive by doing something productive but when I end up not doing anything productive, I start freaking out about how I’m being unproductive so I calm myself by watching TV then the next thing you know, I’m being super unproductive.

It just never works when you force yourself to be productive. Like I could force myself to write the next Great American Novel (not that I would, seeing as I’m not American) but unless I’m suddenly inspired to do something, forcing myself to do it just ends up in disaster. It’s like forcing yourself to be creative.

Anyway I checked out the new Deathly Hallows Trailer the other day and it looks pretty amazing. I got chills all over just watching that. The only nit I have to pick is how worn out Voldemort looks. His eyes are all milky and bloodshot and his lips are really chapped. I mean, jeez man, put on some lip gloss. Don’t they have chap sticks in the wizarding world? Just because he’s some big shot dark lord doesn’t mean he shouldn’t take care of himself. After all that work retrieving Harry Potter’s blood and the bone of his father or whatever to get a new body and he ruins it with poor dental hygiene. I just think Voldemort looks kind of weird in the trailer. It’s like he grew older but how is that even possible? I’m pretty sure Voldemort isn’t going through puberty like Harry Potter and gang. And how does growing old even work in his new flesh?

On other note, vote Memorylast for SOTM? I’m pretty behind on the whole voting thing because I didn’t ask people to vote yet. I was planning on doing it when I make a new blog but I couldn’t think of anything to blog about which is why I’ve been putting it off for weeks. How I still managed to get 9 votes is beyond me but I’d appreciate it if you voted!
