Sick :(

Oh my gosh. Do you know what it feels like to have a fork jammed down your throat and the prongs cut into the flesh until it feels like ribbony strings of pain? Yup that's pretty much how I feel right now. Or well, to be more specific, every single time I swallow.

Because for some reason, I got sick the day before so I didn't go to school yesterday. I was in school the day before when I really started feeling crappy. And that crappy feeling continued on for the whole day. I had fever, headache, sore throat, coughing and my body ached all over. By now, I've already recovered from everything except my sore throat. And I didn't even see a doctor, I just slept it off (with the help of a Panadol or two :).

So. My throat. Where do I start? The part where even talking hurts, or the part where I can't even swallow my freekin' saliva it hurts so bad :/

Sorry, I just needed to rant :D

Alexander Ludwig

I first saw this boy in the movie Race To Witch Mountain when he was playing an alien (albeit an alien humanoid in form, but an alien nonetheless), and he looked like this:
He's the one on the right, don't get him confused with AnnaSophia Robb. I know they look alike but really.

And now he looks like this:

HOLY. COW. What happened to this kid??!! Wait, how old is he - hold on while I check on Wikipedia.

He's 19, so that means he was 17 when he did Race To Witch Mountain. How can one person change so much in 2 years? Well, maybe they downplayed his hotness a little. I mean he looks like the same person but he just looks so much younger in that movie. Did I mention he's playing Cato in The Hunger Games movie? Eep! You know, even though he gets brutally mauled in the end.

Oh well, another picture!
When did he grow muscles???

Prefect Camp

I got back from the prefect orientation camp held at my school a few days ago. And for those few days, my legs have felt like they'd been run over by a bulldozer. For the uninitiated, prefects are like the people who maintain discipline and order in our school and stuff.

Anyway, for the 3 days and 2 nights (both of which had nightcalls) we (i.e. the other people who were there) were there, we had drills (marching), games (which involved water and flour. Yeah, not a very good combination), drills, food, and drills. Guess that explains my aches and pains. But hey, the people were great. Friendly and welcoming, hey, I would go all over again if just for the company. (Hopefully I can walk by the time school reopens)

I know it's gonna be a tough year ahead, especially with all these new responsibilities piled on me, but at least I know everyone's just as clueless as me. :) But you know what they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

Bring it on.

P.S. Happy New Year!!!

The Mortal Instruments

One thing you should really know about me: I am a serious book nerd. Serious. Book. Nerd. That means I go crazy at the mere mention of a certain book that I have read and loved. Namely, The Mortal Instruments series.

I'm currently a quarter way through City Of Glass (I know, I know, I'm a little late jumping on the bandwagon) and I have absolutely fallen in love with Clary, Jace, Alec, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus and the lot. Have I mentioned Magnus is one of my favorite characters? He is one funny dude. Not that the rest of them aren't.

So like the rest of them TMI (The Mortal Instruments, not Too Much Information) fans, I am very eagerly waiting for the movie to come out :D I. Am. Super. Excited. Like jump-up-and-down-can't-stop-squealing-even-though-it-feels-like-my-head-is-about-to-explode-excited. Whee!!!

Now. The Cast (so far)/my opinions &suggestions:

Jace: Jamie Campbell Bower.
Is it just me, or does he look a little too nice to play Jace? Not that I don't love Jamie (actually I don't. I've never heard about him until this. Sorry Jamie :( ) Part of the reason I don't really picture him as Jace is because almost all of his pictures on Google Images are him with long hair. For some reason, I'm not a boys-with-long-hair lover. But I know Jamie will do a great job with Jace :D

So I read on the TMI movie's page on IMDB that Mitch Hewer, Alex Pettyfer and Alexander Ludwig (more on him later) have auditioned but did not, I repeat DID NOT get the part. I mean, Mitch is exactly the person I envisioned for Jace and then I found out he actually auditioned!!!??? Okay, and Alex P. is hot :) so is Alex L. That is all.

Clary: Lily Collins

When I first searched her on Google Images, I thought 'that's not how I imagined Clary/why are her eyebrows so dark?' but actually after seeing this photo I'm getting warmed up to her :)

I know these are the only two cast so far so the rest are just me voicing my humble opinion.

Simon: Logan Lerman
Because he is just that AWESOME. And as much as I love Logan, I think he would be perfect as Simon, the best friend who ultimately gets his heart broken by Clary :( Besides, he's certainly pale enough :D

Isabelle: I have absolutely no idea. On Cassandra Clare's website one suggestion was Kaya Scodelario but I don't really imagine Izzy as a real person, just a vague representation with dark hair, dark eyes and red lips.

Alex: Same as Izzy. Except replace Kaya's name with Douglas Booth/Tom Sturridge (not sure if I spelt his name right.)

Magnus <3: Ooh nice one. A lot of suggestions say Adam Lambert but I don't think he's tall or thin enough. I keep thinking of Roderick (Greg's older brother from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid) and his eyeliner, and he's who I imagine Magnus as.

Well. I have to go sleep now :D Good night to all of those living on my side of the earth.

Pilates, Freckles and Braces

Hey, just got back from pilates class with my mom. Well, actually it was like 2 and a half hours ago but I only have time to write now :P For the uninitiated, pilates is like yoga, but without the meditation. So yeah, one hour of butt-busting with a bunch of middle-aged ladies (no offence).

Because of all the stretching we do in pilates, it's really piqued my interest in ballet again. I mean, I used to do ballet when I was like 6 years old, but then I quit. And I truly, truly regret that decision. 8 years later, and slightly overweight, I've decided I want to continue ballet again. Sigh. If only my mom would remember to ask about classes before I lose interest again.

Anyway, I should probably tell you people what I look like. You know, so you can imagine better.

Who am I kidding? I'm telling you because I'm a vain person, and I like talking about myself. So disappointed in myself.

Okay, so I'm Asian, I'm 14, and I'm short, like really short. I'm 5 foot 1. Before you picture me as a munchkin, let me just say that I think I've grown since the last time I checked. Besides, most of us are short anyway.

I wear black-framed glasses, have braces (which hopefully I can got off by March next year. Woo!!), and as of now, have a gargantuan pimple smack bang on my nose. No matter what I do, it just won't budge. Stupid stubborn zit.

I'm curvy. Well, curvier than I would like. My top looks like an average human being but for some reason my butt and thighs are slightly bigger than I would consider 'curvy'. Anyway. You don't really want to read this stuff.

I don't have freckles Not completely sure why I'm mentioning it. I think they're kinda cute. But unfortunately we Asians don't get freckles (I think). Well, I've never seen anyone who does anyway.

Until next time, when I'll actually write something interesting (hopefully).

ChasingFate (My real name is Faye. No last name, just in case you're a serial killer who's gonna track me down and kill me. No offence.)

How It All Started

Hey ya'll, who just happened to stumble upon my blog, welcome! :) I'm not really good at starting things like this...uhh well the whole purpose of this blog is basically a vehicle for me to rave/vent about things that happen in my daily life/famous people/situations so yeah... Actually I created this blog to follow people, but then I thought 'hey! Why not use this blog to write about stuff?" and that, my friends is how this started. :)
