Rantings on The Hunger Games trilogy.
Just finished Mockingjay, the last book from The Hunger Games trilogy, and all I can say is... WOW.
I watched the first movie before I started the first book, but I stopped before Katniss even got to the games for a long long time wtf... then I watched the second movie, and only recently got myself to finish the entire trilogy.
Funny how the internet being down actually pushed me to continue the book wtf.
And then I got hooked, so I ended up finishing it though the internet was back!
Anyhoo, initially I thought I should wait until all movies are out before I finish the third book, Mockingjay, as I had with the first two movies. But how glad I am that I did not!
Also because of the cliffhanger at the end of Catching Fire (both book and movie), so I kaypoh want to now what happens after wtf.
I'm glad I did not wait because now, knowing the ending, at least I know what sort of feelings may await me when I finish the movie.
Here's all my rants about the trilogy!
*Spoilers till the end wtf.*

Personally, I like Mockingjay the least compared to the first two books.
When I started Mockingjay, I thought I would dislike The Hunger Games most, but wow surprise.
(Evidently, my favourite would be Catching Fire lol.)
Firstly, because I felt that there isn't much content in Mockingjay, except Katniss being all passive and mellow and suffering from serious PTSD, wandering about District 13 and hiding everywhere.
I hope that the moviemakers may add a bit more content (like showing elsewhere besides what Katniss sees) to make the movies more interesting to people who had not read the book, while still staying true to the main plot and storyline.
I mean, don't change what Katniss is feeling or any major plot, but make it more interesting for non-readers.
This is because I think the entire trilogy, the story, their world, the message behind it... is amazing. It would be a pity if non-readers think the story sucks if the movie was boring, and having read Mockingjay which was from Katniss point of view, it does pose a risk of being rather dull after how good Catching Fire (both movie and book) was.
But will this mean seeing Peeta being tortured etc? D8
Second, I SO look forward to seeing Josh Hutcherson as Peeta!
Although there isn't much Peeta in Mockingjay, but the few scenes he had was pretty memorable, like when he warned District 13 about the bombings.
I feel his acting skills will be tested in the final movies to the series considering everything Peeta had to go through. It'll be difficult to pull through, but I have faith in him! I think he's a good actor.
He portrays Peeta perfectly, and I love (the character) Peeta since book 1.
So all that said, it is quite obvious I hope to see more of Peeta, and being super bias because I really like Josh Hutcherson! 8D
One question that bugs me while reading the trilogy is how I felt about Katniss.
I really liked her in the beginning (Then again, strong, useful female characters has always been to my liking...).
But the more I read the more confused I felt, because I didn't know if I still like, or dislike Katniss.
Especially in Mockingjay. I wasn't very happy with how she turned out in District 13 (her wandering about and hiding...), but I guess I have to understand what she had went through, losing Peeta... and also considering the circumstances of the world, not knowing who to trust when at any time you could be backstabbed (literally)... those are feelings you could somewhat relate to if you put yourself in her shoes.
But the passive behaviour does reminds me of Bella (who I hate), so maybe that's why I dislike her.
I also did not like how selfish she can be sometimes.
All that said, I feel Katniss is one of the rare, very realistic character in a book world. Her indecisiveness, insecurity, selfishness etc, her good points her bad points... all these are traits you can see from someone in the real world.
Her character is very real, and as someone who reads book for enjoyment, I guess I like characters who are er, not as real wtf. Someone who will never exist in real life... haha I hope I'm making some sense!
In conclusion, I think I do like Katniss character overall, even if I am unhappy with some of her decisions throughout the book.
Ooh, another part I dislike would be the ending, which I felt could've been written better because it felt so rush. I felt no emotions or feelings from Katniss at all. She was empty.
This is understandable considering Prim's death, and you did see that she got better towards the end but before there was any development, or at least some... it ended.
This made me feel that she just settled for Peeta, instead of really loving him. Considering everything they had went through, how she compared Gale and Peeta, I do feel that she loved Peeta too, but because of how it was written, it does not feel genuine to me, and I feel Peeta does not deserve this wtf (*coughBIAScough*).
And ah, alas, I guess I will always be super attached to supporting characters from books who are fated to face doom in the end. (RIP FRED!)
Although I expected Finnick to die (accidentally saw it when I was Googling his character! WTF GOOGLE!), half of me was hoping that it wasn't true, that I misread... but when it happened, I honestly did not see it coming because I did not expect him to die in such way!
I had always thought that when he dies, it would be because of an act of bravery, to protect someone or... to put it simply, a hero's death.
Ok, he did die trying to protect Katniss and the group... but the way he died, the way his death was written... felt more like when those kalafe dies in a story, and not a character who is as important as he was in the book.
So I wasn't particularly thrilled when he died that way wtf.
It's like it's bad enough one of my favourite character has to die, the way he died was just... ROAR!
And yes, I cried real tears.
Because I get overly attached to characters FML. (DAMMIT ROWLING!)
Will it be possible for the moviemakers to change his manner of death (without altering the plot too much) in the movie? Or at least made it seemed a bit more tragic?
Here's hoping that Finnick's death in the movie will give the closure I need, and also the detachment from the character wtf.
And if it's not obvious, I'm still very hung up over Fred's death, and it has been so many years WTF.
I really look forward to the last two movies, I am interested to see how they will present the book on the big screen, especially since Francis Lawrence will be directing it.
He did a great job with Catching Fire!
He managed to stay close to the plot of the book, without deviating too much from it, yet, he also made it interesting and easy-to-understand what's going on in their world for non-readers (I haven't read the books when I watched the first two movies.).
Although I do agree with some of the comments I read on Buzzfeed that Catching Fire should be made into two movies, because there is just so much they can put inside, as compared to Mockingjay, I do hope the movies will be as good as the books, and do justice to them!
Ah, if only he was chosen to direct the last few Harry Potter movies haha.
Now that I've finished The Hunger Games trilogy (FINALLY! Hahaha! Wanted to finish it since 2 years ago wtf.)...
ONWARDS to finish The Heroes of Olympus!
Ah, FIVE wonderful years coming to an end. How bittersweet it will be.
Let's go!

Some random thoughts...
Walking towards Starbucks the other day... when I happened to chance upon this...
I don't know why but Meteor Garden's theme song started playing in my head as this four ahjusshis crossed the road, as if they were an older version of F4!
It didn't help that the wind was blowing too. Lol lol.
Ah over-imagination wtf.
Also, the round orb reflection in the picture below reminded me of the Death Star wtf.

I'm a fangirl.
Sometimes I look at his face and thought to myself...
How is it possible that it has been more than 8 years, yet he still make my heart flutters every time I see him?
Oh right, I'm a fangirl.
Then he dons on a silly costume with a ridiculous moustache, along with his famous facial expressions...
... yet I can't think of anyone I would love more than him.
Yeap, I'm a fangirl, and loving every minute of it. (^^ )
Or maybe I just really like moustaches wtf.

Being a fangirl is awesome. 8D

Sephora hands.
Is when you come out of Sephora, with your left hand like this.
Sometimes it's a nice drawing.
Sometimes it's just scribbles.
That's all.

I love LEGO!
.I've been collecting LEGO minifigures from The Lego Movie.
The other day I dug out my old LEGO collection to look for some stuffs, and found a whole lot of other stuffs! 8D
Found Benny!
But couldn't find the body, so it looks kinda morbid now wtf.
But I found the complete set for the red one!
We have computers from the 90s. 😂
And I have no idea why we had so many horses wtf.
Also a shark, a crocodile, and Flipper!
And the main reason why I dig out my old Lego set... was to find my fave brown horse for Emmet. 8D
Mike said HI.
And I present to you...
Larry on a crocodile, holding a frying pan.
Cannot get any more badass than that wtf.
But the most badass of em all...
I found a soldier and a ghost.
I had not played with these for many many years, so they were as I left them after I last played.
One looked like someone from the House of Stark (due to the wolf)...
But I had no idea why the ghost is holding a sword wtf.

I wonder...
It has been so long since I read a book properly, I actually feel so lost now.
Did anything happen in the book world that I don't know of?
The last book I read, Bossypants by Tina Fey, took me 4 months to finish, despite it being one of my favourite book!
I just kept procrastinating wtf.
I blame my iPad.
When you have the Internet in your hands, sometimes it's just so easy to give yourself excuse to "not read" (and go crazy over at Buzzfeed, 9gag wtf).
I never used to think of myself as a reader. Sure, I love books, but I'm not an avid bookworm.
Till I realized I've actually read quite a lot of books.
Then I also realized I stopped reading after having a bloody iPad.
Time to pick up this good habit again!
Which begs the question...
WHICH BOOK TO READ FIRST?
(Ps: I actually have like, 10 more books in my list, and possibly another 10 on my shelf waiting for me wtf. But let's start with this 3?)

This tragedy affects me more than I think it would, and I don't really understand why.
I do not know anyone on board, but yet last night, as I read the articles, I started crying.
It just breaks my heart that 298 lives were cruelly taken away so unexpectedly, by such a horrible twist of fate.
I cannot even begin to imagine how their loved ones feel at this moment.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of the people on board MH17.

I was thinking...
To be honest, I honestly feel Game of Thrones should replace Pendidikan Moral in school.
The series is full of moral lessons for everyone (the murders, gory and sexy scenes aside), with the most important lesson of them all:
DO NOT IGNORE ADVICE SOMEONE GIVES YOU (especially if in good faith).
And what are moral lessons without stories?
Example:
SEE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU DON'T HEED CERTAIN ADVICES?
Basically, this teaches you that if you ignore someone's advice, you're gonna have a bad time.
So if your Pendidikan Moral teacher teaches you to give your seat, when taking the bus/ train, to the elderly/ pregnant lady, you GIVE your seat to them... or George RR Martin will bloody kill you. That bastard.

Example:
- Catelyn: "Bran, don't climb that tower." - BOOM, we know what happened.
- Catelyn: "Sansa, don't go crazy over Joffrey." - Yeap, and getting brand an idiot or useless for a good part of the show.
- Catelyn: "Ned, don't go to King's Landing." - WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
- Catelyn: "Robb, you shouldn't trust Theon Greyjoy." - Yeap.
- Catelyn: "Robb, don't marry that girl." - WHYYYYYYY!! (T^T )
- Cersei: "Ned, watch out for my wrath." - Hmph.
- Baelish: "Ned, don't trust me." - As above.
- Tyrion: "Oberyn, you shouldn't drink before a fight." - ROARRRRRRRR.

That is all.
Of authors.
In my life, only two person has the ability to toy with my emotions every single time with the stories they had told.
In fact, I am still broken from the decision one of them made.
Those two, are JK Rowling (Oh hail Queen Rowling!) and George RR Martin.
Granted, I have yet to start reading A Song of Ice and Fire, but I'm an avid follower of the series.
But yes, I cannot even begin with those two!
They create characters you love with all your heart, and you follow those characters along on the journey - never mind that those characters weren't the lead - and they only appear every now and then, but your heart was with them.
And then the authors had to bloody kill them.
Fred Weasley's death still haunts me to this day. He was my favourite character, and I cannot get over why the Queen decides to kill him.
Second, having recently watched the latest episode of GOT, *SPOILERS AHEAD*... the death of Oberyn Martell!
I feel Pedro Pascal did a good job as Oberyn Martell, that you really root for him (and of course because Tyrion's life is at stake!)... and then when it happened...
WTF.
I read on Buzzfeed an article someone wrote, asking where on earth is Gendry Waters, and what happened to him.
Honestly I wondered that too.
But considering how well we all know George RR Martin... sometimes it is in the character's best interest to STAY THE HELL AWAY.
Yeap. You do that Gendry Waters.
STAY. AWAY.

I hope I'm back (at least for a while) now!! =D

Be a better person.
Every new year i will review last year's resolutions, and make new ones.
This year, i is just LAZY.
Oh goodness grief, not like i have anything to do!!
Although a month has passed, i vow to review last year's resolutions, even if i don't make any new ones!
Anyways, this is one things which i find close to heart.
To be a better person.
Don't take it too literally. If you want to be a better person, it doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad person now... but rather, it's a sort of motivation to keep improving yourself, to always keep yourself inspired, keep dreaming... in short, to be a better person than you were before in every sense.
One of my favourite Youtube makeup guru, Michelle Phan, made this video which perfectly sums up what i honestly believe.
There is so many things that you can resolute to be, or to achieve in that year... but ultimately, i believe the most important "resolution" should be to always vow to be a better person. (^^ )

Happy New Year 2013!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (^^ )
I love the New Year. I don't know why, i just do!
I think it most probably have to do with the sun rising earlier, and setting later. =D
Anyways...
2012 has been great for me! There are its ups and downs (C'est la vie!), but overall i still think it's fabulous! I'm extremely grateful that every year it just gets better and better. (^^ )
Were there any changes?
Sometimes i wonder if it's because you are older, so you know how to "think" better (literal translation from Canto wtf), or if it's just experiences, what you've been through etc... which changes you/ influences you.
Personally, i feel i've changed the way i see things after reading The Secret.
Perhaps overall, nothing has changed much, but because i've changed the way i see things, i feel that it makes everything so much easier to get through!
I've learned to be even more grateful for even the smallest things, let the little things go, not to be too attached to material things (haha), etc etc.
Conclusion, just be (super) happy. =D
I am a strong believer that things happen for a reason, so even if things didn't go my way, just learn to live with it, stay positive and move on.
Little steps at a time, keep improving, be a better person, be positive... and always move on and look forward!
Now to learn to be more patient, not to be too PMS-ey., not to be too lazy.
Let's go 2013!! =D

Bittersweet.
I started this course about 9-months back, in September 2011... and back then, it seemed like i had to wait for an eternity for this course to be over!
Now... the final term just ended. How time flies!
I survived the course MUHAHA! (^^ )
I can still remember the dreads and fear i had prior to starting this course. There were just too many uncertainties, too many doubts...
When i started the course, i was pretty sure i wouldn't be able to do it, and had honestly genuinely thought of quitting during the first few months... that was just how scared i was i guess...
But fast forward to now, you wouldn't believe just how glad i actually stuck through it!
Despite all my whining and complains and threats to quit, i guess somewhere there there's just this pride that tells me to never give up. 8D
Keep moving forward!
It's bittersweet really.
On one hand, i'm really glad the course is over... on the other, i'm really really going to miss going for the classes and all that... well, basically, i will just miss being a student!
The course is difficult, but in the end, i think i can safely say i had no regrets doing this. In fact, i'm glad i did it!
I felt i learned a lot from this year in London, and i'm very grateful for everything!
My classes are amazing (the options i've chose for Term 3 will probably be one of the best choices i've made in life!), my tutors are amazing, my Inns of Court is THE BEST, London is great... overall, the experiences were just... AWESOME!
But the best part will forever be the bunch of awesome people i've met on this course!
Those peeps are who i will forever call my survival buddies! 8D
Without them, i'm not sure if i would even be able to survive the first term! But thanks to them, we did it! Together! (^^ )
I love them so much. They are such wonderful people, you seriously have no idea how grateful i am to be able to meet them. =D
All that said, well, it's not without its drawbacks...
Some of the things i've missed just by being here... especially one which will no doubt haunt me forever...
But what my dad always say which i had always believed in: you cannot have everything you want.
So for now, i just want to be positive, very grateful... and basked in the glory of actually being able to finish this course!!
I DID IT MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 8D
As usual, i'm never a good Blogger/ writer... so yeah, ok thanks bye. 8D

Reds Will Never Die.
Words cannot express just how upset i felt.
After crying, i thought i was fine, till i went to sleep, actually DREAMT about it (sorta)... then woke up feeling like crap.
Still feel like crap. I was just SO UPSET.
To spend the last 45 minutes at the edge of my seat, worrying north-south-east-west as i had to concentrate on my team's match, AND the opponent team's match. Gan cheong until like don't know what!
I almost wanted to swear off football (despite this being my very first season to watch the matches religiously), because it was just too nerve wrecking!
During ET, you heard about the other goal... then the whistle blows... so you prayed so hard (bloody hell "give them 5 minutes ET they say, it'll be fun they say"...)... SO BLOODY HARD... WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN!!
Till you heard the final announcement, and the look on the players' faces are just enough to send anyone off crying (well, i did)... and writing hate mails to City (and QPR) =P (and since i'm Asian all the Asian voodoo stuff wtf).
Despite these few months, i've grown very attached to the players thank you very much (i refer to them as "the boys" wtf). So it was as if someone just stabbed my heart with a lightsaber (because knives are too mainstream wtf).
Seriously, my "very first season", and this is what you do to me? To take the cup away from me in just that bloody 2 MINUTES?? SERIOUSLY???
Is this karma?
But oh well, like Emperor always says, "you can't have everything you want".
And i guess City does deserve it (but seriously City, TWO goals from QPR for the 90 minutes... SERIOUSLY? Ok, i stop all the childish taunting. What do i know about football?), so congrats to City. The betterCBs men wins.
And QPR... you could've won! One goal when you are down to 10 men!... but NO, you have to avoid relegation thanks to Bolton.
Ok. Stop. I sound extremely silly. But hey i just needed to rant even though it's silly and doesn't make sense.
ANYWAYS...
Congrats to City!
No seriously, i'm serious!
But hehe.. WE'LL BE BACK.
I've been an MU fan since i was 7 years old, albeit a bit more serious these few years, and extremely fanatic this past few months... but there is one thing i do know from supporting them all these years.
We'll be back stronger than before.
Especially with the amount of people cheering against us... bitch please, only makes us stronger!
I actually thought of this whole "EPL-drama" as a bit too cruel and heartbreaking, like... seriously... IT WAS JUST TWO MINUTES WEI!!
I rather this never happen to begin with!
But having said that, when i had the time to think, i thought... to be honest, any fighting chance is a fighting chance.
Having a chance is better than having no chance at all.
And the boys prove that we were fighting till the very end!
So proud of them! (^^ )
Plus there's always next season! GO REDS!
So i end this post with one pic...
Yeap, haters gonna hate! 8D
