Cure to Boredom

Trouble keeping your eyes open during lectures? Constantly day dreaming whenever the teacher opens her mouth? Curious stabbing pains on your butt? Well, my friend, you have shown all the symptoms of TMMB! (Teachers Make Me Bored)! Some of the greatest scientists of all time have worked tirelessly over the years to develop a cure. (I can't think of any right now!) But what me and my two friends have come up with will keep your sanity intact as you endure the boring lectures of people who swear they are there to teach you and not kill you with boredom!

Alright. So I might be exaggerating just a tiny bit. But me and my friends have come up with a way to overcome boredom (and stabbing pains on your butt). First, meet my partners in crime.




Supplier (Me!)





Inventor (Gaveena!)



Test Subject (Kavithraa!)


So, what happened was, we were at this motivation thing which was not so bad except for the fact it was in Tamil. So, naturally me and Gaveena didn't understand a word of it.

Then, Veena starts messing with my pencil box and pulls out all my highlighters and starts drawing on her skin. It was so cool that Kavi had to try it out. And then, not wanting to be left out I insisted on getting my hand tattooed too. We now call it 'our logo'. We're sort of branded now. Here is a glimpse at what our future tattoos are going to look like!




It's not very clear, but you can faintly see the highlighter on my skin. That's my hand by the way. And there you have it. A foolproof way to endure a endless lecture. With no harmful side effects. Though it might cost you around five ringgit worth of highlighters!

Music

9th March 2009

Just take a minute and listen to the first on your iPod or your mp3 or mp4. What do we actually hear? The music, the lyrics, the guitar, the piano or that really weird screaming noise at the back?
I have come to a conclusion. If you listen to most of today's music, you will hear two main lines in it. It's either "I see you in the club' or "I wanna make love". Is that seriously what we ever really hear on the radio. To name a few songs, "Cookie Jar" by Gym Class Heroes and "Right Now" by Akon. Don't get me wrong. These songs are alright but would it kill to ask for a little more variety?
If you ask me, I really like to listen to the guitar playing. I'm not guitarist myself but I just love the complexity of the playing method. I also like songs with really touching meanings to it. I can't remember any but there are some sensitive songs.
I'm currently listening to Skye Sweetnam. Her songs are more loud, violent and contains a lot of complex guitar playing. If you want to check her out, you should try listening to 'Make-Out Song', 'Music Is My Boyfriend' and 'Human'
Let me know what you guys think about music. If you want. Till' then...

(Hey! No senseless sarcasm in this post! Oh! Never mind)
