The much talked about, um, scene in GG has come and, um, it was certainly, um, unexpected. Yes, unexpected indeed.
Spoilers on GG 3x09 "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

HOLY MOLY!
OK I have to admit it was kinda anti climatic in an ZOMG kind of way. Anti climatic, because it was a threesome that's been so hyped up by everyone which kind of creeped me out coz I seriously thought about it and there's just no three characters on GG I'd really want to see do it! Seriously. And ZOMG because of all the other hotter, saucier characters available for the taking that would probably make such an awkward scene sexy and well, not awkward, they went with Dan-Olivia-Vanessa? Eurgh.
The weirdest and most freaky of all is not the Dan and Olivia kissing suggestively in front of V, not even Olivia and V kissing but Dan and V making out was really really weird and it totally freaked me out. Had to fast forward to save my eyes from further torture. Eurgh.
To top it off, I can't decide who I can't stand more: Serena VDW or Jenny Humphrey. One thinks she's making all the right decisions from that high horse she rode in on and the other thinks she's a bad ass just coz she has on some black eyeshadow and weird hair extensions. I think this episode, Jenny takes the cake for being Bitch Queen with no self-esteem (rhyme not intended).
Wait, I'm torn again. My episode is loading really really slow for some reason.
Oh, who am I kidding. No one is more annoying than Serena. Jenny may be a pain in the ass but she's a small potato so who really cares. Serena's a self-righteous idiot for falling for Tripp's "I don't wanna ruin your future" speech and him carressing the scar she got from I Don't Know and I Don't Care. Eurgh!!
But, as usual, thank the writers for Chuck and Blair who never fail to save an episode from crashing and burning. Oh, I love Chuck and Blair. In a non-threesome, non-freaky, non-Dan/Olivia/Vanessa kind of way. Eurgh.
/edit: I love BuddyTV's wrap-ups! (: This week's: 'Gossip Girl' Wrap-Up: If "They" Don't Shoot Humphreys, I'd Like To Volunteer

PMS Overdrive Gome Wonky.
I always miss home particularly more when my family is back in Melaka for a long weekend or whatever.
Trips back to Melaka, to me, is the epitome of family. No work, no school, barely any Internet - just family. And a lot of food.
I wish I could say I've always been this connected to the place where I was born in. But that fact alone makes every trip back a discovery, and as cliched as this sounds, I feel more and more connected to my roots.
Turns out it really does matter knowing where you come from.
I love Melaka. It's home, it's family, it's good food and it's love.
It's times like these that makes me really really really wish I wasn't 10000 freakin kilometers away.
Long Lost.
"When you are a kid you have your own language, and unlike French or Spanish or whatever you start learning in fourth grade, this one you're born with, and eventually lose. Everyone under the age of seven is fluent in Ifspeak; go hang around with someone under three feet tall and you'll see. What if a giant funnelweb spider crawled out of that hole over your head and bit you on the neck? What if the only antidote for venom was locked up in a vault on the top of a mountain? What if you live through the bite, but could only move your eyelids and blink out an aphabet? It doesn't really matter how far you go; the point is that it's a world of possibility. Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut."

Day to Day.
I practically spent the whole day in bed. It's not the first time, and I'ma tell you, each time I do it I feel damn guilty. And it's even worse here because it gets dark at like 4.30pm which makes me feel even more guilty!
I'm currently living on a very day-to-day basis. Like, I do today what is due tomorrow. I don't do things ahead of schedule and while I have barely made it on time for a lot of things, I still don't do things in advance. Day by day, living like today is just something to get through so that tomorrow will come and so on so forth.
I need some excitement in my life. I think the most excitement I get is when my classes are all over for the day and I'm on the tube back to my place. Le sigh!
But enough with the whining.
I'm proud to announce that I've eaten out only 5 times thing month so far! Which is a huge improvement over how often I ate out in my first year (I'd say about 40-45 times a month?) It gives me a feeling of accomplishment somehow when I cook myself dinner and even though it lacks the flair of outside food, it tastes pretty damn awesome. Haha. Like today I fried noodles with minced pork and mushrooms for dinner. Fried noodles! Me! :D
I also watched My Sister's Keeper today. Before I started, I already told myself to lower my expectations because I know it won't be as good as the book, in fact, nowhere near. Even so, I have to say the show was a let down :( Abigail Breslin was so so so so so so wrong for the role of Anna! Such a disappointment. Sigh. I think we're all doomed to watch movies that never live up to their books (read: Harry Potter). Except perhaps Lord Of The Rings but that's because the books were effing hard to understand in the first place!
It feels a little quieter this week because no HIMYM, no TBBT and no Glee. Sigh. I'm considering downloading Bones because I watched one episode on Star World back in M'sia and got hooked so it must be a pretty good series huh. And yes, while I am still immensely fearful, I continue to download stuff because its convenience and speed is such a thing of beauty. I downloaded My Sister's Keeper in under 30 minutes and I almost weeped for joy. OK I didn't, but you see my point.
It's the weekend! I really appreciate weekends when I'm not on a break for obvious reasons. Too bad they're always so darn tootin short! Or maybe that's because I spend most of it in bed as well. Ehehe :D

I and Love and You.
I'm halfway through writing my rant-y post about the season so far for GG, OTH, Grey's, Glee, HIMYM and TBBT. So far, I have all but given up on OTH because season 7 has really been no fun to watch. Then, James Lafferty steps in as director for episode 7 ("I and Love and You") and gives us the best episode of the season so far and thus reminding me why I haven't given up on OTH just yet :)
Thoughts : One Tree Hill Season 7 Episode 7 "I and Love and You"
Read on...
I have to say that the episode was pretty predictable so the fact that I still think it's the best episode of the season so far means it's some good shit. Not to be an insufferable know-it-all, but I knew Sarah was a ghost (from the previous episode) and I knew Dan wasn't gonna betray his son (all in his creepy grand plan to reform his life.. by marrying Rachel. right)! OK, I was on the fence about whether or not Rene was really carrying Nathan's kid but hell to the yea, I'm glad that's over and done with. Go Dan! Woohoo!
Hands down, the best story of the episode was Clay and Sarah's. I knew that behind that cheeky grin and tortured eyes Clay had some left behind/heart breaking love story. Not to mention how good they look together! Sigh. Their story was told so beautifully and both actors have amazing chemistry together. The flashback scenes really made me believe they were very much in love and mind you, it only took one episode's worth of flashbacks. Yes, til this day, I still don't buy the Lucas-is-meant-to-be-with-Peyton thang. But, I digress.
The one odd thing I liked was the fact that she died, just like that. Weird, but I liked how drastic it was. Plus, no cliched, awkward, "I have (insert incurable disease here)" moments. I feel like the suddenness compounded the feeling of loss felt by Clay and me as well. This kind of storyline has been used countless times but it sure worked wonders this time.
And then we have Nathan and Haley. I think Bethany Joy Galeotti is a really good actress. When Rene admitted she was lying the whole time (she totally deserved one of Haley's infamous but super awesome bitch slaps btw - the very first and most memorable one doled out to Rachel in season 4), the way she broke down was so real. You could practically see the relief wash over her! James Lafferty, on the other hand, has never been a strong actor. To me, he just completes the awesomeness that is Naley and is really hot. Maybe he should consider directing once OTH is over.
The Quinn and David story just made me dislike Quinn even more. Is it me or does Quinn look like she's perpetually crying? Seriously, her eyes are watery all the time, it's not even funny anymore. I kinda wish she'd go back to David and either leave Tree Hill or bring David back because I kinda liked David, though he's only been around for like, 2 episodes and I already like him more than Quinn. The flashbacks only gave me the impression that Quinn's a stubborn little girl who is unwilling to change and grow up. David is trying to provide for her but she's all noooo we have to stay young and continue living like hippies and I have something against projectors yada yada yada. Only thing about Quinn is she's so hot. And I like her name. Garrh.
Last but not least, Julian and Brooke. They probably had the least scenes but they were all pretty good. I really really hope they stick it out and stay together til the end because it's nice to see Brooke in love and Julian jealous over Chase . Haha, priceless. Speaking of Chase, he's still going strong with Mia and there's another good-looking couple!
I liked this episode because it focused on the people I wanted to see (no Millie and Mouth) and the script was so well-written and well-acted. Really made me feel like I was watching good ol OTH again and just when I was about to give up on it too. Ahhh. Hopefully, it will pick up and continue being good. But for now, I still think the show should end this season.
Tried to find pics of Clay and Sarah to post up but even Google is failing me! :( But, have a listen to "I And Love And You" by The Avett Brothers:
It's the song that was playing towards the end of the episode and evidently, the inspiration for this episode's title.
edit: haha I just found a forum called "Sarah-Clay make Quinn-Clay look like a joke!" hahahaha!
