I am Musho / Xinni and I am an artist, designer and programmer. I'm a Singaporean living in California as a designer at Google. I blog about my
art, music, shows, games, beauty stuff, school and a lot of personal events in my life. You will feel awkward reading this if you know me.
These were my four goals of the year:
1. Pass NAPFA
2. Comic Anthology Project
3. Meow! Service learning project 4. Driving license.
Well~
I got my license on 18 April! At 18 years old :D!
I passed with 10 points on the 2nd try~
FAIL:
PASS:
Improved from 40 points so not bad~!
Yes, I am quite proud! Coz I think I worked pretty hard for it and I got it.
COME TO ME QT PAI mazda 3!!!
The license took me 6 months to obtain.
Anyway!!!
I don't want to drive. For four reasons.
Reason 1
I got my license so that I could get it at 18 years old. It's a stupid reason, but I did it for the sense of accomplishment. Sadly it was an expensive goal - KNN ALL THE MONEY I SPENT I'M SO SORRY DADDY :( ($2000+) But at least it's a useful skill - more useful than getting tuition imo.
As for the rest of my goals.. I am working towards them, slowly but surely. I am angered about failing NAPFA by 3 seconds but I don't want to complain anymore. I'll just do my best again. If I fail, then I accept that I'm not fit enough and I'll pray I don't die early. :C
Reason 2
My license picture is ugly and I am in my school uniform!!!! wtf!!!
Reason 3
This was from my previous post: I was leaving the driving center when I saw all those who have just passed watching a big TV. The TV was playing happy music and a flowery female voice was saying '~*congrats on getting your license!!!~*'. The funny thing was that those people were watching it with stoned expressions. It was ridiculous because SHOUDN'T U BE HAPPY YOU CAN DRIVE NAO!??!?!?!?!!! I wanted to slap all of them but I walked out anyway.
..... NOW I FINALLY KNOW THEY LOOKED SO STONED DESPITE PASSING. Here's why.
When I obtained my license I was directed to a room where I had to watch a compulsory video. It was k at first, I mean they played some nice flowery music and there was this OK looking traffic police man and he was saying stuff like congrats. He went like "So... now I bet you are itching to get on the road. But before that..."
And then BAM.
There was this bloodied face that was completely smashed to pulp.
BAM.
A badly twisted, almost severed leg (or was it an arm? I can't tell)
BAM.
Dead old lady.
BAM.
A young woman crying dramatically "You murderer!" (I laughed at this, sorry...)
BAM.
Dead little school boy run over by a van.
AND 2389472394 BILLION MORE MUTILATED BODIESSSSSSS
.....
I was speechless. (We weren't supposed to talk anyway)
And everyone was like *stoned expression*
THE VERY SAME STONED EXPRESSIONS I SAW.
OMGOMGOGMGMOOGMMOGOG?!??!?!!!
KYA OMG WTF WAS THAT FOR!!!!
I JUST TIO MY LICENSE THEN U KPKB ME FOR WAD?!?!?!?!
I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE
DON'T WANT TO KILL PEOPLE
OMOMGOMGOGMOMMNOMNOM
I hereby swear that
1. I will not drink and drive
2. I will be wary of pedestrians on the street
3. I will not overtake dangerously like I always do
4. I will be patient and not speed on the road
Yes. I swear it!
I don't want to be responsible for taking a life. It's not very pleasant!
Reason 4 dad: xinni, you pass your driving test issit? me: i did!!! ^-^ 10 pts!! dad: so when you want your car? me: .... dad: when?
.......
.... me: dad, COEs are S$44000. dad: so you don't want buy now? me: I don't need a car. dad: o. me: maybe after A levels. dad: ok.
COEs are certificates you have to buy to own a car. In other countries you can drive for less than 1k, I bet. Like in Borat, the guy bought a car for real cheaps.
But because Singaporeans are so filthy rich, we have COEs to stop us from buying cars.
So yeh I told my dad I don't want a car now... it would be a waste of money.
So..I'm not getting a car:( I will just rent one and go on pathetic road trips on this tiny island. Blah.
Yeah.
I think that's all I've got to say about the whole driving thing.
Kintan troll! :D
I was in the bus when I passed by the bus stop where Kintan was standing!
I texted her!
Me: ooh ur at the bus stop!!! Kintan: I did not see u!!!! Me: Of course you didn't. I'm at Macs now. I saw you on my Google Earth App on my iPod. Kintan: What the fuck that is so creepy. Me: Yeah it's like the newest stalking app. Kintan: That's invasion of privacy I swear. What macs are you at? Me: Bt Batok macs. Kintan: So what was I doing at the bus stop? Me: You were standing there.. Possibly flagging down a bus. Kintan: WTF so creepy!!!!!!!!! :'(
LOL AND THEN I WAITED FOR HER TO TELL HER FRIENDS ABOUT THIS CREEPY IMAGINARY APP BEFORE BREAKING TO HER THAT I WAS JUST TROLLIN'.
THERE WAS NO SUCH STALKING APP.
I think I haz mastered the art of trollingggzxzxzxzx!!! ^.^

this woman is insane :/
...
Time to go.
Okay. Honestly I feel really lousy and fat, having done nothing productive the past few days. Whatever it is, I'm doing way better than last year. And that's something to be thankful for. It's a busy week ahead.
Later, I got to carry a cat at Raffles JC. I was so damn happy.
the cat looks like it absolutely adores me
Now I'm back to feeling empty~
But it's okay.
I feel insecure, but I won't complain right now.
PUSHEEN!!!!

I hate bad writers
I may be guilty of hypocrisy, but allow me to make snarky comments regarding this article on REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY. I found it in the 'Guide to degree/scholarship' magazine given by my school. I can't believe they let them publish this rubbish.
HOW TO LIE USE REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY
Reverse psychology is defined as telling a person something that is the opposite of what you want them to do or actually believe. The idea was enforced by two German psychologists - Adorno and Horkheimer.
The duo's theory that people respond in an opposite or reverse direction of what they are told has been tested and proven since the ideas debut in the late 1970s. Want to test the theory out? Here are some tips on how to use reverse psychology.
REVERSE PSYCH IN DATING
Understand that reverse psychology in dating can work to a big advantage. If he is playing hard to get and just wants to be friends, girl you can say that you agree and just want to be friends as well. Say that you think this is actually better and what you want as well. Guys, does she say that she is not ready to spend the night with you? Comeback with reverse psychology and tell her that you agree and think waiting is best. These are just a few ways using reverse psychology can keep your partner guessing and help in a dating relationship.
WAIT WHAT?!! Stop right there. Just stop. 1. Why should a boy play hard to get if he just wants to be friends?
2. How will agreeing with this boy make him like you?
3. LYING TO A GIRL SO YOU CAN GET LAID IS NOT REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY. Did you just teach us how to score a quick fuck .... in a scholarship mag?! And did you think that...
gf: Sorry I don't want to do it right now..
you: it's alright, i'm willing to wait :)...
gf: ....FUCK ME NOW!!!!!
...that this would happen?
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS, VIRGIN. Solution? Rape or drug her. Higher success rates.
4. Keep your partner guessing. ... In other words, do your best to establish distrust in the relationship and lie as much as possible. This is the essence of a healthy relationship!
PARENTS USE IT TOO!
Keep in mind that parents are probably some of the biggest fans of reverse psychology. Many incorporate techniques into their parenting style and don't even realize it. Reverse psychology works well with children because many just want to do the opposite of what mom or dad is telling them. A great way to incorporate reverse psych as a parent is at the dinner table. If your child doesn't want to finish their dinner saying something such as "Bet you can't eat the rest of your veggies" has been known to work time and time again.
So it makes it perfectly OK to lie, since parents lie too~ :)
Situation 1: Mom: Bet you can't eat the rest of your veggies!! Little johnny: *eats all veggies* Situation 2: Mom: Bet you can't eat the rest of your veggies!! Little johnny: That's right, I can't.
Tell me, which will probably happen?
Sigh. Let's move on.
Use reverse psychology on your parents.
Teens often use it to manipulate parents into weekend parties, shopping trips and extra allowance money. Oftentimes refusing or saying that the party at Anne's this weekend doesn't sound too much fun will often work on a parent.
You (walks up to mom): Hey mom, there's a party at Anne's this Friday. It doesn't sound too fun, so I don't feel like going. Mom: I DEMAND THAT YOU GO FOR THE BORING PARTY. I WANT YOU TO HAVE AS LITTLE FUN AS POSSIBLE. YOU ARE BANNED FROM YOUR ROOM.
Yeap, definitely works.
You: I don't want to do drugs, mom. Drugs are bad.. Mom: SMOKE THIS WEED, NOW.
Try it out kids! Manipulate your parents!
Be sure to practice and make it believable.
Having a reputation as a manipulator is not good (so you fucking admit it) but using these techniques to help further relationships for better. Practice your lying reverse psychology in the mirror to make them sound convincing to the person you're lying to.
*facepalm* I don't even know where to start.
WHO THE HECK WROTE THIS?!?!??!11 RAWR!!!! I think there is only one way for this article to actually make sense.
It is using reverse psychology to make you think that reverse psychology is bad. Bazinga! It makes sense now!
Wanus
So chunmei was telling us about the wanus, something she heard about on radio.
Apparently,
wanus = pinky finger
So let's imagine if everyone started saying wanus instead of pinky.
Edward: I'll never leave you, Bella. Bella: Really? Edward: Yeah. Never. Bella: Okay, WANUS PROMISE ME. Edward: ?!! Uh... repeat that please, sweetheart. Bella: Wanus promise that you'll never leave me. Edward: Uh... are we supposed to sodomize each other or..? Bella: No, dummy. Wanus is your pinky finger! Edward: Uh, right. Promise.
Two of them lock wanuses and kiss each other on the glossopharyngeal cavity.
Two months later... Edward: Bella, I don't love you anymore. I'm leaving you.. for Jacob. Bella: BUT YOU WANUS PROMISED ME! YOU WANUS PROMISED ME THAT YOU'LL BE WITH ME FOREVER!!1 Edward: Stop repeating that word for christ's sake!! Bella: (sobs) Wanus wanus wanus wanus wanus wanus wanus wanus wanus!!! Edward: SHUT UP! I anus promised Jacob- Bella: .....YOU WHAT?!!!! Edward: Perhaps I shouldn't have revealed that. Bella: I H8 U!!!!!!
Hmmm. Not cool...
Okay, no more useless facts for me.
Btw, twilightsnarker has updated :) he is amazing~
Panic!
Panic! At the Disco's new album - Vices and Virtues.
Amazingggg.
Go get it.
I bought a new iPod and earphones. I feel so guilty. Theoretically, one has to work 180 hours at starbucks for what I just lost.
I hate whoever stole it. I've stopped listening to music since and I can't seem to love it as much as I did last time. It's made me miserable, very miserable.
My important notes are gone. Itunes refuses to restore them.
////END EMO RANT/////
But I'm glad I made full use of my iPod's functions. I fully appreciated my music, took photos that looked wonderful (to me, i mean), browsed nice art, played lots of cool games and surfed the internet non stop with safari.
Moving on, now!

Few days ago, I was walking innocently as usual.
Ms Goh looked at me like
and grabbed my hand and said 'YOU DID VERY WELL FOR YOUR TEST PAPER!!'
I just went like,
She continued to hold my hand and said 'VAAAAAAAAAAST IMPROVEMENT!'
I just went like,
Then she went like,
Then I said ou .... ^_^ That's great to hear.
(I hope that means I'm not last in class anymore?)
I got an A in the end.
In fact, the whole class probably got A anyway.
Wow wtf, they must have had a very bad impression of me to react to my A like that.
All I did was start to do assignments.. -_-
That's all I'm going to say, I didn't do well in my other papers so I'm ashamed to say anymore. Meh.
Yeah.
