Just watched Angles and Demons. Ooh the Geekasms I had while feasting my eyes on fantabulous science and religion conspiracies.
I don't care if you think Dan Brown is overrated or a sham. I believe his books are utterly brilliant and oozing with huge piles of information. Who cares if it's only semi-true, it IS supposed to be fiction after all. The science is in fact, plausible, because he actually took the time to research the things he strings into the storyline.
Yes, argue if you must. I still loved biting my lips at all the informative tidbits he scatters around the book and movie. So catch the movie if you can. Or even better, read the book beforehand. As usual, they changed some parts, but who cares! :) Watch it!

You Stick Like A Poster On My Wall
And at this moment, my mother is staring at the sea from the hotel room in Bali. Pretty soon she will be sifting the sands through her toes.
I'm just glad there's sunshine today to keep my serotonin levels in check.
I have nothing to bring to the table. Therefore, I shouldn't be caught.
Neil Gaiman just added to my collection of skewed Snow White tales. His is twisted in too many ways. I love it nonetheless. :)
I have resorted to listening to indie pop like Kate Voegele and Ingrid Michaelson. My new playlist, which is best served on rainy days and/or while lying down tangled between the sheets with a good book, consists of them plus Corrine and Yuna. And one shot of Sheryl.

I am totally guilty of not studying or doing anything academic this past week.
However, this fact is extremely liberating and it somehow makes me feel happy.
*shuts ears and stops listening to voice that says I'm wasting time*
I think books are good food for the soul. It feeds your inner desires. It breaks your mundane repetitions. It opens your heart to bigger things, not just the ones you see in front of you now. It digs deep and exposes your fears into open air.
Sometimes I think I get so stressed out about things. Like how not being in Kelab UMNO will make me feel left out and sad. How I've let Erin and Mad down by bowing out. How I've lost out on opportunities to further cement my place in KUNSW history. And I also think how every moment spent not studying or not doing assignments is a moment lost. I wince every time I find Justin and Fini doing their reports. I get a sinking feeling in my gut as my friends discuss exam timetables.
Then I read a book. One which tells of a woman on her journey of self discovery. One which I'm suppose to give Mummy for Mother's Day. Whoops. :)
That coupled with what my friend said about life being too short to commit yourself to endless studying, made me shed all that guilt and allow myself to be happy and at peace with myself.
You know like how happy cows make more tender meat? Well, a happier Sheera would certainly (hopefully) produce better results. Oh and I'm also very carina when I'm happy. Hahaha.
I'm not saying I'm going to quit school. No. Far from it. I'm just making sure I don't push myself to a breaking point when I don't need to. It isn't exam time. I can still manage to finish my assignments on time if I pace myself. I know I can. And if I can do it with a smile on my face, then all the better. Aaaannnd, you people don't have to hear me whine about pms for long. :D
All this talk about 'being at peace' with oneself makes me sound old. Geez. I'm sure I'll be a tempest in the next month or so and I'd have to rediscover myself again. Oh well. Bring it on. :)

Get yourself to the butterfly lounge, find yourself a big lady
Har Har I watched Iron Man and Im feeling happy! :D
Do you know how it feels to be FREE? Even if it was just for an afternoon, it felt good.
I was reading wiki about Twilight. This novel turned movie about a romance between a vampire and a girl. Goddamit. If I was 14, I'd rave about it and dream about it and make references about it in my everday life. But I'm 21. And I think vampires finding their 'True Love' are very funny. Makes you squint and go, right...
A tiny voice inside me says 'I wish I was in love'
Oh! I got to taste Kataifi for the first time today! Hmm. It has nuts in it and its superbly sweet but I prefer Baklava. Man, I wish I had more money on me just now. I could've had more Greek Sweets. :D
