Universe How.

After crazy attempts at trying to find the last character of my name 颖 on the Chinese pinyin list (which was actually right in my face but in my impatience I ran by it), I resorted to looking it up online for copy paste purposes. And in the definition it says:

1. 植物学上指某些禾本科植物小穗基部的苞片 ie, the bract of a flower -the leaflike layer beneath a flower-
2. 东西末端的尖锐部分 Also known as the sharp end of an object.
3. My personal favorite, 才能出众 or known as talent *rawr*.

And the best part...

4. In the example section, MY NAME (I kid you not), 慧颖, was given as an example but backwards. So, 颖慧. Which pretty much means the same thing (wisdom & all the above definitions). Don't believe me, check it out for yourself (click!).

UHM. 

Mind is blown.

And ALL this cause I wanted to put my Chinese name on my Capstone cover page.

I think I just flew to the stars and back.

Also, FIGHTING! to all those completing Capstone! 

Love,

慧颖. ♥

I LOST MY CLITORIS!

Tonight, I do this for the lady (a friend's friend) who lost her life to robbers back home. 

Tonight, I do for the women who are sexually abused because "they dress to sexy/promiscuous". Tonight, I do it for the women who only wear clothes that men tell them to. 

Tonight, we do it for women & children. 

Please join us in creating awareness against violence against women & human trafficking!

Have I Told You How Much I Love Roller Coasters?

Boy, what a week it has been!

To best describe this week:

To those of you who know what reference this is, you're probs rolling on your bellies (or not).

But yeah, it felt like the week has (actually the past 2 weeks have) given me the major stink eye. 

I have been so overwhelmed with so much emotion and the undecided future. But that is just part of the problem. There's everything else in between. Capstone is fine. I'm not SUPER stressed about it (which is a good thing, why should I stress myself out unnecessarily, right?) I think instead, my mother has taken over Stress-Duty and has been up my chin on Capstone. Uh, mom, calm down please? :) And then there are all the other things in between like classes: I missed a quiz (I'm so sad), math has been slowly driving me crazy, and music, I've so much to memorize and painting SO MUCH to complete. I had to pick one of the craziest pieces... Not to mention some of the goals I would like to achieve before graduation... They fall in the interpersonal realm and I'll be the first to admit in a while that this has seriously been the bricks on my shoulders...

And with that said, I must confess that I've shed so much tears. 

I cried over words exchanged

I cried over issues unrelated to me (well, sorta)

I cried over an email (oh dear, it was one scary email)

I cried at 50 Days

I cried so much I think the list is ludicrous.

But you know, I'm doing all I can to find something beautiful in every day. 

Even if I'm still crying, at least I have something to appreciate and I don't go to bed upset. 

xoxo,

Martha & Kim. ♥

PS- I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS. I laugh when I go on them. No idea how this started but it started when I was 19. And like roller coasters (as a metaphor of life), I take life like that, by laughing (as much as I can). Sometimes you cry, sometimes you laugh.  

Wanted.

WANTED:

1. A Malaysian or Singaporean who has spare time on their hands, and is willing to read stories and add Malaysian influences and offer criticism without being a complete buzz killer. AND can give quick and timely responses.

2. A printing company who can print my Capstone into a pretty book without burning an arduous hole in my bank account.

PS- Red to support the LGBTQ community today. 
PPS- comment/email me if you're feeling generous and wanna help! :D

Laugh, laugh at me.

Since I don't have much time and I thought I'd update my blog a little... Here's something...

I'm writing capstone and this is part of a story I'm telling:

"But in our world, in our dreams, we’d have sweet, sweet dreams of being with the guy we liked. No, not celebrities who didn’t know our names. That’s just sad. These were boys we were very much into." 

Thinking about it, I think my life has gotten a lot sadder. Instead of dreaming of a relationship with someone I know, I'm doing it instead with the celebrities who don't know my name... Yes. My life has increased in sadness.

Oh yes, you may laugh now :) 

Hope this made your day.

K Popsessed?

WARNING: KPOP related post but it's not a usual "I LOVE BIGBANG ERMERGERD" post. So please continue scrolling if you'd like to invade my thought processes?

A friend sent me a link a few days ago regarding the revenues of two of the biggest S.Korean entertainment companies in 2012. Here is the link. But if you're like me, lazy to read (though I did read this one), or don't care (if you're still reading in the next few seconds, I guess you do care? haha idk)... Long story short... SM Entertainment (the guys who own the big names like SNSD/Girls Generation, Shinee, Super Junior, etc) raked in USD 154 Million while YG, the company who made Bigbang, 2NE1, Psy (yeah you and I we both know how big this dude is right?), and the likes... FAMOUS. They raked in... Are you ready for this?

USD$91 Million. 

er... whut??

Frankly, I was taken a back a little at the beginning. My friend was very very surprised. She said it didn't quite make sense cause of Psy and Bigbang + 2NE1 world tours and all that... But I mean, merchandise sells more than tickets do, no?

But then it got me thinking... Cause I heard that the entertainment companies... Say for example company A, who owns Band/Group BZ. BZ is famous. So technically they should be making shit loads of money from album sales and all right? Well, not how they roll in S.Korea... The artists only start making money after selling a fixed amount of albums.. If I'm not mistaken 1 Million albums? So only after that amount is sold, do these babies get money. Sigh. The price of fame man...


Which now brings me back to what I was thinking...

So now, we have a figure to the faces... Say each group/solo artist is their own unit... And the fans (omg, the fans. I was just made aware of Sasaeng fans... Fucking cray bitches... [Read here of an example, and KEEP IN MIND, these artists pay SHIT LOADS of money for their homes for the purpose of keeping the fans AWAY])

ANYWAY. So right the fans. Now that they see the figures.. and like any crazy obsessive fan who treats their favorites like their boyfriends... I wonder what they'd be thinking?


Side note: The same friend showed me a gif some a letter some girl sent to her favorite artist written with her period... I threw up a little when I read the translation... It said:

I dedicate to Taecyeon my period blood letter.

Ok Taecyeon, You cannot live without me.

Sprinkled with a few strands of my pubes

Dear Lord. 

Sorry guys... For the really random and weird post. Erm. Yeah. But yay for finally writing something in here after ages! yippeee!

xoxo,

Kim. ♥
