I'm not looking forward to the council barbecue happening in 17 hours. I'm not looking forward to the prom night, which seems like a seriously bad idea. I'm not looking forward to New York anymore. I'm definitely not looking forward to work.

I'm not even looking forward to my 16th fucking birthday.

BRAND NEW EYES has been really awesome. But what has really helped to cheer me up over the past couple of days is my dose of America's Next Top Model.

The winner of Cycle 13 and the first petite model is NICOLE!!!

(good job though, Laura)

I am so insanely happy for Nicole because she really deserved this win and she's never been in the bottom two and she's so quirky like Allison! After Allison's infamous and undeserved loss in Cycle 12, Nicole's win is a refreshing relief for me that Tyra IS actually capable of making the right choice.

Of course, this Cycle definitely had one of the strongest final two contestants ever. Laura has never been in the bottom two either and if she won, she would be able to stop castrating bulls and shit. Like i've said loads of times, it's not that i don't like Laura, i just happen to like Nicole more. Probably because Nicole is so much like Allison :D

And Nicole paints too. And her nickname when she was a kid was Bloody Eyeball. Creepy-Chan much? Definitely.

Currently watching Cycle 4 and i have only the finale episode left. Top 3 is Kahlen, Naima, and Keenyah. Absolutely hate Keenyah and i really love Kahlen! :D Naima is just... forgettable. Although i hear she won Cycle 4 anyway -.- More proof that Tyra keeps making the wrong choices.

Just finished downloading Cycle 9 to the MacBook so that it'll be ready for transfer when i get the iTouch :)

Back from the Council Camp at Kota Tinggi. Will post pictures when they're up on FaceBook. The camp was fun but ironically enough, i kind of want to die right now.

I finally bought Paramore's album BRAND NEW EYES. Listened to five tracks so far and i love them all. So i'm revamping my playlist to accomodate to Paramore songs and Paramore songs only.

The tracks are all really suitable for the way i'm feeling right now. Which is why i love them so much. Paramore's songs are suitable for every emotion you can possibly experience.

Wind back to Secondary 3 where i was this little depressed bitch who was whining and crying all the time about not receiving attention. I craved that attention and cried and cried and cried so much that now when i look back, i'm embarrassed.

I thought i finally grew up to be a really matured teenager. Well, looks like i thought wrong, didn't i? Because right now, i'm back at that crying stage. And the worst part is, i don't know why but i know that i shouldn't.

I just feel really down and out and like nothing can go right for me. I've been disappointed over and over and over again. I know you've got a good reason and i'm really trying to accept it and be sensible and say to you : "Yeah i totally get it. I'm not gonna hold it against you because i know it's not your fault." But i can't, i can't, i can't. And i can't.

Perhaps it's got to do with the fact that Megan Fox, even if she wasn't cast in the movie, would have gone to watch Jennifer's Body rather than said film.

This week, i went to catch Jennifer's Body with Mic and Charz. While the other two felt it was all-out stupid and really nothing special or impressive, i thought it was definitely one of the more recent films that deals with the essence of controversy.

Look at the film at a superficial level or at a deeper level. It's still hot.

Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried make a really good pair, unlikely as it may seem. In the movie, Jennifer and Needy have been best friends since they were kids and are BFFs even in high school. Jennifer is the popular girl that everyone wants to be friends with while Needy is the obedient friend who stays in Jennifer's shadow all the time.

Well, to speed things up a bit, Jennifer basically gets sacrificed in a satanic ritual by a band in hopes of become successful. Problem? Jennifer's not a virgin and although the band does get shot to stardom, a succubus demon possesses Jennifer's body and she becomes a literal man-eater. Needy is then thrust into a situation where she has to battle Jennifer while still maintaining the public facade that everything is alright.

Diablo Cody is one of the few scriptwriters who can really relate to teenagers. The dialogue is stellar and it makes the film everything it should be. Smart, funny and relatable. The film's got a very cult type of edge to it mainly because of the fact that the ice queen bitch in your high school turns out to be the deadly boy-killing machine. Not exactly a fresh idea, but you can't deny that the plot is really quite ingenious.

We find ourselves feeling sorry for Needy and the guys that get killed by Jennifer. We realise that all the victims are essentially nice guys and our pity lies firmly with Chip, Needy's geeky boyfriend. The fact that Jennifer goes for the nice guys instead of the ones that implanted the demon inside her body makes it a lot more tragic.

Jennifer's Body is described as a horror comedy. It definitely is. But what

a lot of people have been missing is the underlying vulnerability of Jennifer, possessed or not. The point being put across by Diablo is that the bitches of every high school are ultimately the most insecure. They are the ones who fuss about their weight and the way they look, they are the ones who seek male approval. And the whole man-eating thing? With a man, Jennifer is gorgeous. Her hair is awesome, she looks really good. When she's without a man, when she's hungry, she gets really hot-tempered, she looks horrible. What is so smart about this is that it reveals exactly the mindset of many females in our society. A lot of girls feel that they need a guy in order to feel complete and that's Jennifer's job.

So the main objective of this film is for Needy to expose Jennifer's insecurity to the public eye.

What the film could have improved on was focus on Jennifer's views on the band after she gets sacrificed. We don't understand how she feels or what she wants to do so it becomes sort of like a loose knot.

How this film is so similar to Juno has definitely got to do with the little teenage tendencies. How teens believe things are true just because they're on Wikipedia, how they have to be with the in crowd, how many of them are afraid of being different. It's true that not many films these days tell stories from a teenager's point of view. A PROPER film, mind. None of that Harry Potter horseshit. And films that tell good stories from a teenage girl's point of view are far few.

So kudos to the makers of Juno, Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman, for managing to make Jennifer's Body deliver in such a way that many would not expect. And not forgetting the director, Karyn Kusama. She has come a LONG WAY from her Aeon Flux days. God, that film was tedious.

Many people hate it, for some really unknown reason. But Zhi Qing says watch it. Because you never know what to expect.

6 more days!!! To working at Prima Deli! :D

Little update before i get back to mugging for the much dreaded, infamous Pure Literature paper.

Exams so far are quite manageable, i think i've been coping okay. Hopefully. Don't wanna get my hopes up because i said my PSLE was easy and look where that got me. So... Like Teyona said in Cycle 12 : "Fingers crossed. Toes crossed. Butt-cheeks crossed." Yup.

Got a new phone :D The hot, sexy, INQ Mini 3G with built-in FaceBook and Twitter. Upload pictures with just a simple click. Will talk about this after my MCQ paper on Wednesday.

Completed Cycle 7 and 8 with Caridee and Jaslene. Loved the winners, absolutely adored the runner-ups. Will bitch MUCH about this on Wednesday.

Had a dream about Adam Lambert saving the environment with me, Mic, Az, Charz and Naz. And i believe that dream is a freaking sign. Will swoon over this on Wednesday.

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are my favourite single female artistes ever. So controversial. So outrageous. Seemingly hoochie, but really not. Will elaborate on Wednesday.

Current favourite Cycle is... Cycle 9! Why? Chantal should've won! Chantal and Jenah should've been in the final 2! Why Saleisha?! Why, Tyra, WHY?!?! Will bitch BIG TIME on Wednesday.

In the meantime... This is Allison NOW. Pretty? Yes. Love her.

Can you believe this was Allison THEN?! Pretty? Yes. Love her.

This is Cycle 9 runner-up, Chantal. Pretty? Yes. Love her. Adore her.
