B'day Pressies

I know this is a bit overdue but... Here we are. :)
Group photo!

The entire set of Wicked books from Mummy.

I finished the 1st book (WICKED), currently reading the 2nd book. Which is the one with the red. (Son of a Witch)

The Hunger Games! Also from Mummy!

The last shot of the war.

Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers perfume (Music) from Fairy Godmother No.1.

Its pink head is fuzzy so I call her Fuzzhead. I originally wanted Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck but they don't have it. T.T

GORGEOUS charm bracelet from Wen Yi!

BE-YOO-TI-FUL Necklace from Fairy Godmother No.2!

Safe and Sound

Yesterday, I was worried.
I wanted to watch The Hunger Games so badly.
I was worrying throughout the entire day about it.
Then, when I stepped into my car, my dad told me:
"Rachel, Auntie Hui Yi is picking you up at 6 to watch The Hunger Games with Wen Yi and Alice."
My response: "THANK YOU, GOD."
Yeah, I actually said that in the car.
I ended up going to Wen Yi's at 5.30.
We had dinner at 6.20 with Alice.
Then we went to the cinema in Jusco at 7.
We bought the snacks at 7.15.
We waited...
7.30PM
SCREAM!! *rushing into Cinema 4*
Throughout the trailers we were like: "Gawd, this is so intense. SOMEONE HOLD ME."
Finally, it started.
It was awesome.
All the actors were spot on.
Jennifer Lawrence was amazing.
One look at her, and you knew what she was thinking, how she felt.
Amandla was so funny and cute.
Josh was adorable. ;) (For those of you who are going to watch it soon, please note. HE IS MINE.)
I laughed at Rue.
I cried when she died.
I couldn't believe Seneca Crane was sentenced to death.
President Snow and his rose garden gave me the creeps.
Haymitch and Cinna were too close and caring to Katniss to be comfortable.
And the director decided to ruin the romantic moments between Katniss and Peeta by showing Gale's jealous expression. Which was funny, but totally ruined the moment.
All in all. Very amazing.

First post!

My first ever proper blog. I actually already had a proper blog, rachelsaysdefygravity.tumblr.com. But somehow it doesn't seem to satisfy all my blogging needs...

Don't get me wrong, Tumblr was, is and always will be awesome. But I guess I'll be using Twitter as a micro-blog/status update tool. And Tumblr as a way of noting down stuff that I'll commit to an actual blog post later.

As you can see from my first url (wonderstruckdefyinggravity), I love Taylor Swift. I am a Potterhead. My favorite actresses are Emma Watson, Dakota Fanning and Chloƫ Grace Moretz. Previous celebrities whom I had crushes on over the years include Daniel Radcliffe, Taylor Lautner, Booboo Stewart, Orlando Bloom, and Josh Hutcherson.

I love: waterbending, daydreaming, good TV shows, fantasy films based on best-selling books, music that radiate awesomeness, writing random poems that nobody else is intellectually or creatively capable of writing, watching films (preferably animation) with scenes that give me goosebumps, reading all manner of literature (preferably fantasy) that does NOT fall under the romance/horror genre, animals (preferably mammals), random singing/dancing, making zines, etc.

I loathe: my enemies, extreme copycats, people who abandon/overlook me, traitors, backstabbers, people who enjoy showing off their nonexistent talent, people who abuse animals, people who misunderstand me for no reason, control freaks, dictators, etc.

NOTE: The above “etc.” means “End of Thinking Capacity”, not “etcetera”.

UNawesome things about me: I tend to be mean, cynical, sarcastic, negative and pessmistic. I'm not afraid to be mean to people I despise or say what I really think about people. Honesty rules. FEAR ME.

Actresses: Natalie Dormer, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Lawrence, Dakota and Elle Fanning, ChloĆ« Grace Moretz, Hailee Steinfeld, Liv Tyler.

Actors: Tom Hiddleston, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Josh Hutcherson, Will Poulter, Chris Pine, Tom Holland, Alan Rickman, Orlando Bloom.

I am a writer, musician, actor (i.e. professional liar), avid reader, bathroom singer, daily shuffler and random obsessor. In short, a complete freak. Oh, and I swim and play tennis too.

If you asked me to pick a movie to watch, I'd choose the action/fantasy movie over the comedy over the romance.
HOWEVER, cartoons like the ones from Studio Ghibli, Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks, are given the highest priority on my list.

I like purple. Obviously, seeing as this blog's first URL is 4 different shades of purple. (indigovioletlilaclavender)

I like collecting rocks and I believe the world would never survive without MUSICALS.

I have many interests. (Music, acting, dancing, performing arts, writing, reading, collecting rocks, etc.)

I am currently dabbling a bit in photography and am saving up to buy a Canon EOS 1100D.

WARNING: I rant a lot. And I have a cynical, sarcastic, pessimistic (but not masochistic), negative way of thinking. However, I AM open to positive thinking.
Just don't over do it.
