I LOVE yewwwwww

Today I went for my second driving lesson.

I am in fact not a bad driver, just a terrified one. You could die at any minute on the road! Accidents happen all the time! Of course accidents happen all the time at home, at school, on flat surfaces and off tall buildings. But we're not talking about those (yet).

My instructor didn't panic much, although he did mention that when I eventually do buy a car, it 'most definitely must be an auto'. Yeah. He also looked a bit concerned when, at the end of the lesson, I admitted that I hadn't realised we had been driving around in circles for the past hour.
In my defence, they were really big, town-sized circles. Not many people would have noticed.

Really.

Meanwhile, I have watched District 9, Up and 17 Again.
Up was depressing like anything, except for Dug the super-adorable dog. 'I was hiding under your porch because I love you.' How adorable is that? Adorable doggy.

Or Less

Today, I managed to convince my grandparents that my driving is so bad, if I went to KL, I would kill myself driving in a straight line.
So they will only even consider allowing me to move under these conditions:

1. I find a place that is FIVE MINUTES OR LESS away from my future theoretical workplace.

2. I go for driving lessons.

Yep.

My driving is so bad, that my grandfather, who survived the second world war and the Japanese Occupation, and who taught everyone in my mother's family how to drive, is hiring a driving instructor for me.

A. Driving. Instructor. for Driving. Lessons. At 23.

And if I don't manage to convince them that I am not a danger to myself and the unfortunate people surrounding me on the road, then I won't be moving anywhere. Which I totally agree with, having great appreciation for my life and that of the car.

Stupid cars. Why couldn't they have made flying carpets or something. If technology is so great, shouldn't they have made teleporters by now? Shouldn't we be living on spaceships? Shouldn't we be colonising the moon? And the best they can come up with is some pansy hybrid vehicle that can't even fly. Wth. What is wrong with these people. They have no vision whatsoever.

Speaking of vision, James Cameron has a new movie that he promises will blow your mind. I hope it will be a Star Trek kind of blow-your-mind, where you wish you had your own IMAX for everytime you watched it, and not a G I Joe kind of blow-your-mind, which reduces you to a level of mild retardation for the duration of the movie. I actually felt my brain cells die when they were shooting MISSILES at the van Snake Eyes was stuck under TO SAVE HIM. There. Didn't your brain cells die too? And you didn't even watch the whole movie yet.

Dude, Where are My World Destroying Powers?

I'm too lazy to do the rest of Star Trek, so you'll have to use whatever imagination you have.
To those of you with lots of imagination, Star Trek totally rocks, right?
To those of you with little imagination...watch more tv.

I actually wanted to post up this recipe for pineapple upside down cake which is a total cheat because it's too easy to make but everyone will think you're some kind of baking goddess.
Totally undeserved, but you take what you get. People give you plus points, too, for saying it was easy. Which it was.

I watched Pineapple Express. I think I'm in love with James Franco. No, really. He is just such a cute drug dealer.

Yeah whatever

Awesome Has Many Names

I watched Star Trek.

Here is my review of Star Trek.

Big Opening Scene:

Big aloe vera shaped ship appears through A BLACK HOLE IN FRONT OF USS KELVIN without sucking in said ship or causing any damage to the surrounding bits of space.
Disbelief suspended.

NERO, COMMANDER OF NARADA (the poky looking ship): Come on board for absolutely no reason other than to promote your First Officer, George KIRK to CAPTAIN after you die.

USS KELVIN CAPTAIN ROBAU (aka most screwed over captain in Federation history): I am going to go on a suicide mission to ensure that KIRK has a hero for a father.

ROBAU and George KIRK DIE saving the crew of KELVIN while DR CAMERON gives birth to JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK.

Backstory Scene Kirk:

KIRK: By stealing this antique car and driving it over the ledge, I am proving to you what a genius dickwad I am. Also, I am really, really blonde. And cute. Just wait til I grow up.

Backstory Scene Spock:

SPOCK beats up some VULCAN kids who make fun of his name. And the fact that he’s half Vulcan/ half human.

SPOCK: Dad, why did you marry Winona Ryder?
SPOCK’S DAD: I wanted my kid to have nice eyes.
SPOCK: Guess that worked out well for you.

MANY YEARS LATER:

VULCAN HIGH COUNCIL: Despite your mother being only 8 years older than you, you have turned out pretty normal. We accept your application to Vulcan school that every Vulcan attends anyway.

SPOCK: Did you just diss my mum?

VULCAN HIGH COUNCIL: Uh, yeah.

SPOCK: Fuck this, I'm joining Starfleet.

SPOCK joins STARFLEET.


In random spacebar

KIRK, hitting on SUPERFOX UHURA: Hi. I'm awesome, as you may have noticed from my devil may care attitude, blue blue eyes and kissable mouth. And nice ass.

SUPERFOX UHURA: Huh? Is this Star Trek or a Maxim live-action issue?

KIRK: Says the fanbait.

KIRK then gets beaten up by half a dozen starfleet cadets. Getting beaten up and hanging from ledges seem to be the limit of KIRK's awesomeness.

CAPTAIN PIKE to KIRK, drooling on the FLOOR: We haven't recruited enough good looking people for the year. Why don't you join up?

KIRK joins STARFLEET


Stay tuned for PART TWO.
