Obviously, I am bored. And this personality quiz is from WenYing.

Part 1.
1. How old do you wish you were? [No preference, though I wished some others were old and dying.]
2.Where you when 9/11 happened? [I don't quite remember.]
3. What do you do when vending machines steal your money? [The wretched machine will perish.]
4. Do you consider yourself kind? [Refer to tone of answers, and infer. It really depends on the individual's perception of kind, anyway.]
5. If you had to get a tattoo, where would it be? [I will have to be insane to vandalize my body. But probably on my back, arm or under the collar-bone.]
6. If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be? [How fluent is 'fluent'? There's still a lot to learn, even for English. That's the reason why we still have aural assessments.]
7. Do you know your neighbours? [Not in the least. To hell with knowing them. I do not even know their (sur)names. Unless you count my cousin who is about to move in this month, of course.]
8. What do you consider a vacation? [When time stops at the peak of my life, when I'm at my happiest.]
9. Do you follow your horoscope? [I find that a Magic-8 ball is far less complicated and just as accurate.]
10. Would you move for the person you love? [Move? Do you mean from my family, or migrate, or just walk? Although I think I understand. Nonetheless, I probably would, in the unlikely event that I actually fall in love with anyone aside from myself.]
11. Are you touchy feely? [Touchy feely? As I have said earlier, I'm afraid you will have to infer the answer to this question yourself based on my answers.]
12. Do you believe that opposites attract? [In magnets, yes. In a partnership, especially marriage, it will only attract friction, heated arguments. And in the case of the latter, divorce.
13. Dream job? [Unemployed, yet rolling in a ceaselessly erupting fountain of money. You are overlooking the fact that most work for money, Quiz-setter.]
14. Favourite tv channels? [Anything but drama (especially of the Korean, Taiwanese and Hong Kong variety), soap operas, and possibly anything that may thrill a 'normal person' in my class, however you define them.]
15. Favourite place to go on weekends? [Nowhere. Probably seizing the chance to be away from the rest from the class by sleeping for at least 18 hours a day.]
16. Showers or baths? [No preference, as long as there's soap, shampoo, water and privacy.]
17. Do you paint your nails? [No. As a matter of fact, I do not treat my fingernails as canvases for the next artistic disaster.]
18. Do you trust people easily? [How easily? Either way, no. I do not. I've been in my class for a year and I still don't trust them enough to do so much as leaving my wallet with any one of them.]
19. What are your phobias? [Do you honestly think that I'd disclose it here? But I suppose it depends on the situation. But whatever it is (or was), I will never show it on my face.]
20. Do you want kids? [Those pathetic excuses of humans never ceases to annoy me. I am proud to declare that, even as a child, I've never embarrassed myself to that level.]
21. Do you keep a handwritten journal? [If I did, why would I want a blog?]
22. Where would you rather be now? [Pluto, away from *****.]
23. Who makes you warm and fuzzy? [I couldn't possibly alter my appearances to that a 'fuzzy' creature. Although I think I understand the gist of your question. However, the answer is no one.]
24. Heavy or light sleeper? [That depends on how tired I was when I went to bed the day before. Unless I did not sleep for at least 2-3 days, I am usually I very light sleeper.]
25. Are you paranoid? [I believe I was being realistic when I stated that no one is ever completely safe.]
26. Are you impatient? [Yes, as a matter of fact. I am very impatient, and never harbour any intentions to wait for those slower than I am, in whichever aspect that is applicable in this case.]
27. Who can you relate to? [Relate to? I can usually empathise with others, except that they do not think so since I do not show it. However, just because I can emphathise with them does not mean that I will respect it, nor will I sympathise them.]
28. How do you feel about interracial couples? [What is wrong about it? Racism is only an invisible barrier that we have created the keep ourselves away from others. What defines us is not the colour of our skin. For example, if I had tanned or bleached my skin, it does not make me any less of 'Myself'.]
29. Have you been burned by love? [Pardon me? I have never thought of love as a candle.]
30. What's your pick-up line? [I am proud to say that I do not have one.]
31. What's your main ringtone on your mobile? [I've set it on 'Vibration'.]
32. What were you doing at midnight last night? [Taking a stroll along Greenleaf Crescent, or a street along that.]
33. What does the last text on your mobile say? [Are you talking about the Inbox or Outbox?]
34. Whose bed did you sleep in last night? [I do not lead a life as promiscuous as that. But I did not sleep last night.]
35. What colour shirt are you wearing? [A white button-down shirt]
36. Most recent movie you watched? [I don't quite recall, but I did not manage to
sit through the one I was watching on Tuesday.]
37. Name three things you have on at all times. [Have on? Do you mean physically? Either way, nothing, really. Everyone has to take their clothes off when they're bathing. But if you insist on an answer, my mind, my hair and my eyeballs.]
38. What colour are your bedsheets? [Right now? White. But I have pastel blue, lavender and black ones too, depending on which bed I'm about to sleep on.]
39. How much cash do you have right now? [Sorry, but I am not keen on being abducted.]
40. What's your favourite part of the chicken? [The part I can bear to eat.]
42. I can't wait till: [***** dies.]
43. What did you have for dinner last night? [I didn't have dinner at all.]
44. How tall are you barefoot? [157. Or at least, that's what it says on my physical fitness report slip.]
45. Do you own a gun? [That is illegal, unless one is part of the police force.]
46. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? [Water, but I do not feel like consuming anything in the morning most of the time.]
47. Where do you think you'll be in 10 years? [Dead. Probably due to some cancer or a car crash.]
48. Last thing you ate? [I do not recall.]
49. What songs do you sing in the shower? [None, whatsoever. I do not sing in the shower.]
50. Last thing that made you laugh? [Again, I do not recall. But it was probably at, and not with someone.]
51. Worst injury you ever had? [A terrible injury which I do not want to recall. But thankfully not the consequence of a (or a series of) stupid action(s) by my standards.]
52. Does someone have a crush on you? [I doubt it. Even if they did, how would I know?]
53. What's your favourite candy? [No preference. I tend not to eat them, although I would probably choose either gummies, gum, or lozenges (if it counts).]
54. What song do you want played at your funeral? [One with no vocals, that's for sure.]

Last Tuesday, as I was channel-surfing, I managed to catch a glimpse of Phua Chu Kang. Now, no true blue Singaporean would be oblivious to the existence of this (in)famous, yellow-booted, curly-haired contractor. Well liked for his slap-stick humour, but feared by the Singapore Ministry of Education and the British Council for his rather sub-standard English. Apparently, this popular persona was speaking of the Unspeakable. He was messing with the Mafia...

...He was speaking of Death on national television.
In front of an audience filled with children.

Yes. Now, there are several subjects I'd like to touch on, just based on that one scene, but I'm too lazy to type, so I'm just going to talk about the main point. Firstly, the point which I do not doubt that most of you have foreseen. Death. Or at least, talking about it on national television. Fortunately, Mister Phua only spoke of it briefly, and most of it was in relation to karma -
'If one were to do 'good' now, are they more likely to enter heaven when the pass away?' [Warning - people with a religion which are strongly against talking about this grim topic, please leave this page immediately]

Right, if that warning hadn't deterred you, I guess I shall continue my blogging. So, about Death. What is it about this phenomena that so baffles even the most brilliant minds of the past, present and probably those of the near future as well? It happens on a day to day basis, so it isn't like some sort of strange illness. When others who were close to you in life passes away, we grieve. Now, what so amazing about Death that we use the word 'grief' specifically for it? And what so special about Death that I capitalize the 'D'? (Digression, but have you ever thought that humans were so proud of their intelligence that all other animals [face it, we are mammals as well as animals] are only referred to as 'it'. And we are so egotistical as an individual that we capitalize the 'i' when we refer to ourselves?)

Well, this is my personal theory, so it probably isn't reliable. But I have always thought that it is not Death, but dying that scares us. And not dying by itself, but rather, the unknown. (which is also why some fear the dark, and also why 'Light' has also come to symbolize the 'Truth' ) Which boils down to the same question - "What happens to us when we pass away?" and "Can we possibly change that by what we do now?"

I'm nowhere near wise enough to answer that question, but rather than answering those questions, I'm here to question instead.

We've always thought of Heaven and Hell, but what about in between them? After death, I mean. Sure, we have Wandering Spirits in some religions. But that's still on Earth. What I'm talking about is a place like Heaven and Hell, only in between. It's incredible for some of us to even fathom that. But then again, so are ghosts, UFO's and even the depths of our Oceans as well as outer space. I suppose that is why we still retain a sense of wonder in the world.

In terms of Karma, what happens if we get an absolute zero score? Perhaps we did 'Good' that merited 100 points, but then maybe murdered someone, which deducted that 100 points? Talk about trapped in Equilibrium. There's your little food for thought.

Ah well, anyone who has any ideas or illustrations of this 'Place' (They don't need to have been done by yourself) , I'd love to see them.

F.A.Q. 's - These are the answer to the emails from some people whom I do not know personally. I'm honoured that you bothered to email, anyway. Even though there were a small fraction which I feel obligated to answer. The below shows 3 genuine emails which I have received, and what I have to say.

You post everyday. Don't you have a life?
Okay, time to clear up some shrouds. If you're wondering if I have a life, since I post everyday, and lengthy posts at that too, I do. Alright? The thing is, some of the 'issues' I have posted have already been stewing in my mind for a while, while others just come naturally, quickly. So no, I do not sit by my computer for hours at a time churning out blog entries. I sometimes alter the time stamps randomly so as to prevent tracking. I also edit older post for grammatical errors and the like if I spot them so they get longer and longer sometimes. Oh, and I can type pretty fast too, if I do say so myself. I also find it easy to put my thoughts into words, so a post usually takes no more than 25 minutes, at the very most. Of course, still some others were written when I was bored. Perhaps in a Mathematics lesson.

From the way you 'speak', you sure don't sound as though you are a 13 year old girl.
Oh, but I am! Are you impressed yet? Just because I'm 13, that does not mean that I am completely clueless about the World and all that is happening around it. Of course, what you see here is really a subtle, censored version of what I really wanted to say. To hell with freedom of speech. But rest assured, I'm not some middle-aged loser who practices elitism or snubs the Government under the protection of the false fact that I'm just a 'little, ignorant girl'.
(I'm stereotyping again)

You must be absolutely insane to think that anyone would listen to your advice, little girl.
Well, actually, people have requested for me to do so, which is really the reason I stated so in the first place. I have even mentioned their names - Sharon and Karine. Of course, this is not a real forum for troubled people to seek advice or solutions to their problems. But rather, it is really for my close friends to confide in me and seek a solution that probably isn't feasible, but at least entertaining. But of course, it is open to all others as well, so feel free to mail me.

Notes
I'd also like to take this chance to inform you that I do apply literary devices in my writing, such as metaphors. Paradoxes and oxymorons abound. So, if you cannot make head nor tail of a particular phrase or sentence. Think of it in representations instead of literally, and may realization dawn upon you. But even if you do understand, I ask that, when you have the time, to think of connotations even where my point seems clear. Annotate it if you have to. I assure you, there are more things than that which meets the eye. However, if you still do not understand, then it's probably just my overloaded excuse for a brain. So don't hesitate to ask me on my tagboard.

Other than that, all content, graphics and whatever else you find on this blog were done/typed/thought up by me, unless otherwise stated. (Excluding the questions of this post and the template, of course) That includes the lame jokes on "Insane Brain", alright? They are not copyrighted, and only present a one-sided view - Mine. Although I do try to see things from as many angles as possible. Based on the source, the posts have very little credibilty, unless you agree with me.

As well, please do consider what I say (or type, rather) as this blog is really based on thoughts. Even when the posts are considered 'Emo'. Of course, it would be best not to think of it in that manner. Doing so will only add a pointless, sometimes opaque layer of superficial negativity. Besides, they are less emotional than merely exasperated at the blindfold Humanity dons willingly, not that I don't.

I leave you only as I reinterate: Don't take anything here so seriously.
