If you are blessed with a rich as well as pampering dad or destiny has been kind to you to keep your wallet loaded, then nothing can stop you from owning this Limited Edition Darth Vader Bronze Statue. The only necessary factor is that you need to be an ardent Star Wars fan. Sculpted by Lawrence Noble, the inspiration for this Vader bronze came from a source usually associated with the Star Wars prequels, that is the planet Coruscant. Standing 4 feet tall and weighing 150 lbs., this majestic statue sports a particular attitude as it is frozen with one foot raised on a little precipice. Only 30 such life-like bronze Vaders are available for a colossal amount of
$18,000 each.

miche finds it amusing how watching the most mundane of things can actually trigger her thoughts into something vaguely philosophical. So it was the episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S where rachel buys an apothcary table from pottery barn and lies to phoebe that it was a one-of-a-kind table from the days of yore as phoebe hates anything which is not one of a kind. rachel then goes over to ross's place where she realises to her horror that ross bought the same table. she tries to get ross to hide the table and ross blurts out to rachel that twins are not one of a kind.
that was what that got miche thinking.
identical twins = two of the same embryo = therefore, not one of a kind
HOWEVER,
twin births are in fact one of a kind = ergo, twins are special.
but isnt that an irony of nature, rather a paradox, that we are all simultaneously one of kind and yet not.
hmmm... same goes for triplets, quadruplets and the list goes on. how funny God can be.
i am starting to learn not to expect anything from you and take it all in my stride. perhaps this is the best way to deal with the situation and we can be what we really want to be.

xue qian's blog title says "the show must go on". and yes miche agrees with xue qian that indeed the show must go on , no matter how much sometimes we tell ourselves that everything must end and one day we must take our last curtain call.
miche guesses that there are many different points in our lives that we have
had to make that curtain call. over the last 7 years or so of miche's life, miche figures that there have at least been 5 or 6 times when she had to say something or done something for the last time.
28 Dec 2002: the last time miche ever stepped in ACJC as student, suddenly she realised that she had to grow up.
2004: the last time miche allowed herself to be really depressed over not going to america, though miche still deeply regrets having been denied the chance.
2005: the last time miche decided to let grades and examinations get the better of her.
2006: the last time miche decided that A.L did not matter that much anymore and she is going to stop waiting.
2007: the last time miche ever stage-managed an theatre event.
2008: the last time miche is ever willing to put her life in the hands of another person and trust that he will take care of her.
2008: the last time miche took a team and won debating championships. miche guesses it may the last of debates that she will ever do.
miche wonders if there is going to be a last time for her somehow this year in 2009. but really, the show must go on. because if it doesnt, miche guesses that will be the day she dies.

three and a half years ago miche blogged these words and tonight after feeling that she is totally an idiot miche is blogging the same words again.
After a while, you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesnt mean leaning
and company doesnt mean security,
And you learn that kisses arent contracts
and presents arent promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans,
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much,
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
and that you really are strong
and you really do have worth.

I know it's late now I know I ought to go
Ride in your car now but please don't drop me home
My head's so heavy, could this be all a dream?
Promise me maybes and say things you don't mean
Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just
Drive, drive, drive
Take me through make me fell alive, alive
When I ride with you
Keep my heart turning on axles around you
Keep our love burning just like it used to do
Now just for us, they could play our favourite tune
Let's not discuss all these things we can't undo
Let
Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just
Drive, drive, drive
Take me through make me fell alive, alive
When I ride with you
Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just drive
-Drive, Bic Runga-
i think i am going a little mad over the whole thing. dont get too upset with me when sometimes i dont really want to say a word, it is only because i dont know what to say and i dont want to screw things up. it is very trying i know. it is a difficult place to be, i hope you understand because i am really nowhere here nor nowhere there. the whole of the last three days was not easy to get through only because everywhere i go i am reminded of how i dont really have you. so please, dont get upset with me when i appear cold and unresponsive because i am trying really hard to be strong for you. maybe when i am able to find the correct words to put everything into perspective, i will be okay. i am sorry, my dear.

Stateless boy 3rd in Japan paper airplane contest
By JAY ALABASTER,Associated Press Writer - Monday, September 21
TOKYO – A boy with no official nationality who lives in Thailand captured third place in a Japanese paper airplane contest Sunday after his tearful pleas to be allowed to attend prompted authorities to grant him a rare temporary passport for the event.
Mong Thongdee, 12, won a national paper airplane championship in Thailand in August 2008 after he threw a plane that flew for 12 seconds, and was later chosen to attend the Japanese contest in Chiba, near Tokyo. But Mong, who lives in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, is the son of Myanmar migrants who are stateless and so have no legal right to travel abroad.
His first application to leave Thailand was denied, but after national media coverage of him quietly sobbing after the refusal captured the hearts of many Thais he was granted a temporary passport.
Mong appeared Sunday in a white T-shirt decorated with the Thai flag, whipping his carefully folded airplanes high into the air during the competition in front of hundreds of spectators.
He placed third in the division for elementary school students with a time of 10.53 seconds. In an earlier exhibition, Mong's airplane stayed in the air for 16.45 seconds.
After the event he said he wanted his family back home to know he got third place, and that he was grateful to the people who supported him.
On Saturday, his three-person Thai team won the group competition. Contestants quickly fold their planes at the event, then throw them into the air.
Mong's ethnic Shan parents have only temporary permission to live and work in Thailand, so although he was born in the country he has only temporary resident status. Under normal circumstances, if he left and tried to return, his status would be revoked and he would be barred re-entry to the country where he was born.
When his initial application for temporary exit papers was denied, the story dominated the front pages of Thai newspapers, and a national lawyers' council petitioned the court on his behalf.
His tale has led to fresh attention for those in his situation in Thailand, who have less access to education and health care. Mong is on a list of people who will be considered for repatriation to Myanmar in February 2010.
a simple child with a simple wish, yet never did he know that his simple wish will make a huge difference for his people. paper aeroplanes that carry out dreams out into the air and hope that angels will pick them up and make them come true.
miche knows what her paper aeroplane dream is, what about you?
@12:58 AM
miche enjoys the feeling of feeling a little intoxicated all the time. haha it is 1 am and miche is still awake and she feels that she should complete whatever work she needs to do. but yet, miche is strangely distracted. it is way too hot to work and miche keeps sweating the whole time. miche needs to stop thinking. like really.
Saturday, September 19, 2009 @12:13 AM
baby, miche misses you already and it's only been 7 hours.
Monday, September 14, 2009 @12:47 AM
miche is waiting to be discovered.
Sunday, September 13, 2009 @1:02 AM
miche is annoyed with her keyboard and she figures that she has to bring the keyboard for repair, once she gets her apple care registration up. cause for some reason the "U", "7" and "0" keys decided not to work at all. fustrating!!!
anyway, miche has come to the conclusion that the men in her life. yes the men in her are all so damn bloody fickle minded they can never make up their minds about what they want to do or what they want.
liability one lost his job and found one only to decide that he didnt want it after all.
liability two cant make up his mind about what he wants to after graduation. he says he wants to wait and see which vocation he gets posted to before he decides whether he wants to sign on with the army and get a scholarship.
the father cannot decide which course of treatment is better: to be harsh or to be kind. and he ends up contridicting himself half the time.
jude cant decide if he wants to end stuff once and for all.
A.L cant decide which side of the fence he wants to swing.
the last one just cant decide if he wants miche or not.
all the men in miche's life. fail. seriously fail.

joshie is leaving tonight at 1120pm. flying off to the land of dreams, the land where years ago many people from this part of the world envision would be the place where all their dreams will come true.
amongst all the kids, joshie is perhaps the one persom whom miche feels the most kindred to. joshie and miche's birthdays are only 8 days apart and one day, we realised that we have almost similar taste in songs.
miche knows that she is going to miss having joshie around, just like how he went 'missing' during his NS years.
so, joshie, miche wishes you all the best in your new phase of life. go and explore and be whoever you want all these years. if anyone, miche knows you will be the one who doesnt change. miche loves you much.

miche wants...the whole collection of Oxford World's Classics. Just so her shelves look intellectual. ha. miche was packing her bookshelves two days ago. a long time since she packed her shelves. re-categorised everything. made her feel so happy to see everything in order. happiness.
miche wants more books. haha
@1:05 AM
here is a list of miche's eccentricities, well basically cause miche isnt exactly the easiest person to get around.
(1) miche collects soft toys, teddy bears more precisely because she feels that they are the only things which wont leave her ever.
(2) miche needs to buy things in pairs, when they are for herself because she feels that if she buys things singularly, they will feel lonely and left behind. worse if the item she wants comes in a set.
(3) miche doesnt like the color yellow because she associates it with the idea of a third party. because yellow is always paired with blue somehow but miche feels that blue's natural partner is red.
(4) miche likes to talk to herself most of the time, under her own breathe so no one can really hear her.
(5 ) miche likes to refer to her in third person. and this seriously freak people out.
(6) miche doesnt like the light. she really do prefer to be in the dark as it makes her feel much happier not knowing what is out there.
(7) miche finds walking around aimlessly rather therapeutic. it makes her happy especially in the middle of the night.
(8) miche doesnt like her food to be mixed up. it makes her upset.
(9) miche is totally random. her brain thinks of strange things all the time. like if she is ever to manage a war operation, she will bomb bridges first and then hospitals.
(10) miche tells her own brain to shut up, rather often so that she can actually sleep at night.
(11) miche doesnt like talking to be people, really, even though being a debater is what miche lives for.
(12) miche used to think that cookie monster will answer all her prayers, until the day when no tickets appeared for that show miche wanted to watch.
(13) miche is bipolar.
