update part 1

life is good here. i seriously think i do more walking here in a day then i do back home in a week. i walk to the trolley stop everyday- about 10 minutes there and another back. and some days, i'll have to sprint to the trolley stop because if you have mean trolley drivers, they'll just leave you there even though they see you running.

the weather is great this week. not too cold not to hot. i think the locals call this the perfect weather. work is good. i sell photos to happy tourists. i wish them 'have a nice day' and they wish me back 'you too'. ahhh...life is good.

but then again, i've only been here 2 weeks. come back to me in 3 months.

i sorta celebrated Thanksgiving here it's a holiday celebration somewhat similar to our CNY reunion dinner. all the children will come home and have dinner with the family. they also say it's the time where they get to eat all they want. pfft. back home in malaysia, we eat all we want all day everyday!

tis the season to be jolly too! the Thanksgiving SALE! it starts a midnight and they have crazy deals. there was a literally a queue in front of Coach. and certain shops like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger had a 50% storewide sale. can you say OMG?

needless to say, i had to control myself.

this is probably the part you people are most looking forward to. some photos to whet your appetite!

the ladies in Prime Outlet. this isn't the Thanksgiving Sale. we went there on our first week there when we had a day off. lotsa branded outlet shops.

daylight turns to dark. such a pretty sky. it gets dark around 5pm. by 6pm it looks like its 9pm. i get sleepy by that time. but now, i've pretty much gotten used to it. now i'm back to my regular sleeping pattern =)

the ladies in the Trolley. we take this to work everyday. this is us on our way to Prime.

that's me in my living room. okay laa. not my living room. this is the clubhouse. it's really pretty. there's a fake fireplace!



this is the main area. damn nice right? we also have a movie theater, a basketball court, a gym and a pool. it's a pretty place.

more coming soon =)

is everyone missing me already because i'm missing everyone!

i know you guys want update because you wanna live your exciting lives through me right? HAHAHA. cheh wah wtf. i shall be nice and try to update you guys regularly laa but i can't promise because i get really tired at the end of the day and all i want to do is sleep. i'll try to post up pictures soon.

the place i'm living at is DAMN AWESOME! i'll let the photos do the talking. soon. if not here then facebook.

the weather is slightly haywire. it's been pretty cold here and apparently that is unusual weather here but today, the weather was really nice. not too cold not too hot.

check back whenever. will try to update. byeeeee.

missing home mucho mucho.

FREE INTERNET

hello!

just wanted to say that i have landed safe and sound in changi airport and am now utilising the free internet. which is only available every 15 minutes. so i gotta log in and out. and i'm gonna do this till i get tired of standing. no chairs to surf the net. free mah. what to do.

anyways, gonna fly off in about 7 hours time +_______+

ZOMG 7 hours in the airport!!! thank gawd for FREE INTERNET!

hallmark moment. start. i wanna say HUGE thank you to those who came to send me off. if any of you are reading this, i wanna say THANK YOUUU for the gift and the card. DEFINITELY put a SMILE on my face =)). end.

i'm already missing HOME =((

sifu moment

"i am but a small speck in the ocean of humanity, struggling to survive, not to outdo" (B Chay, 2008)

a FUYOH moment. this is what exam stress can do to a person.

quantum of solace...nope.

quantum of solace is worth the ticket price just for daniel craig.

can you see where this is going? the movie does not live up to expectations at all. the whole car chase routine, running around and jumping from one building to another was chaotic. the whole camera movement was shaky and blurry (i can't find a better word to describe it). you couldn't tell who was who when they were chasing each other. i was nauseous just watching it. no, i'm not exaggerating.

i also didn't get the storyline. like who is dominic greene again? and what is his deal? maybe i was slow when watching it but for a james bond movie, it shouldn't be rocket science.

why did vesper have to die!!??? poor poor bond. heartbroken and all.

bottom line, let's hope the next bond movie will be better. better camera work especially and a better storyline please with humour added in to the script. daniel craig hurt himself making the movie and i can see why. crazy action going on. unfortunately can't exactly be appreciated. but i can definitely appreciate daniel craig *ahem* do look out for the credits for the name of gemma arterton's character.

gimme casino royale any day man. i can watch that movie on repeat and never get bored.

not exaggerating.

anyways, the next movie i'm really looking forward to is twilight *schoolgirl moment wtf* marry me already edward! (belinda chay, please go read the book already. no excuse anymore. you have 4 months break. go read book it.) i'm already hyping myself out listening to the soundtrack. love bella's lullaby.

hopefully it'll be good and not as disappointing as the latest bond. i was really looking forward to quantum of solace =( nevermind, daniel craig more than made up for it. and ohh before i forget, please watch out for the car in the opening scene. i'm gonna start driving my car with more pride than ever now. teehee.
(clue: it's not the aston martin)



"men are stupid. they go for the obvious" - daniel meade

happiness is a comin'

ok it's official. my exams are FINALLY over. i can sleep easy now. actually, it was officially over yesterday. and no. i didn't exactly get to celebrate the way i wanted to (read drinks with a certain amount of alco content).

we literally stopped at a few petrol stations to look for drinks. then it finally dawned on us: don't drink and drive. hence the no drinks sold in petrol stations =(

so yes, i didn't exactly get to 'celebrate' but never mind, another celebration was celebrated.

BIRTHDAYS!

don't you just love em'? another year to mark your descent to your grave. anyways, hope you guys had fun despite the constant change of plans. HA HA!

happy holidays to me =D

laa dee daa

i hate hate hate hate hate HATE __________ (fill in the blanks).

it's a no brainer, really.

no prizes for guessing correctly. just the satisfaction of knowing that you are not alone in this world. that there are others out there who HATE HATE HATE _________ too :)

ahh..can you feel it?

inner peace.

the moment we've all been waiting for.

boo.

my inner peace ain't here yet. it's lost in the mail.

omg omg omg. this is totally random but i have an increase of 15sens in my nuffnang account. LIKE FINALLY! *punches air in victory wtf wtf

ok, if you must know right, nuffnang has been a bitch to me. since the first day i signed up with them till this very moment, i have had no increase whatsoever in my earnings. the last time i checked i had.....rm0.65! and now with a rm0.15 increase..i have..

0.65 + 0.15 = 0.80

ZOMG 80sens in my account!!! another rm49.20 left to go before i get my first cheque!!! wheeeeee.

dot dot dot

wanna know what i did today? i played teddy factory on my handphone and my thumbs are aching now.

i was trying to take a 'break' from studying and ended up playing that infantile game for the past 2 hours. and because i haven't taken my nap yet, i napped. there, my day in one sentence. don't you feel productive just reading it? because right now, i just wanna study study study because thats the most productive thing i can do today! wheeeeee.

if i go abit senile on friday, please forgive me. it's just the aftereffects of long term reading, hardcore 13 weeks of assignments and classes coming to an official end for the year :))

i shall end my post with something i got from nicole's blog

Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon. This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain!

1. While sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right Hand. Your foot will change direction.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

it's the funniest thing ever! hahahhaha. go try it.

decreasing mental capabilities

i think my ability to read and understand has deteriorated. considerably. at an alarming rate i might add.

i read and read and READ but i don't understand AT ALL.

+____+

i think i just turned stupid.

goo goo gaa gaa google

instead of taking one off day, i took two and looking at the way things are progressing, looks like i'm gonna be taking three off days +__+

not. good.

not good at all.

but i did spend my time organizing my album covers in iTunes. now most of my songs have an album cover on them, making them look organized, neat and pretty *cough

thanks to amazon.com i can finally copy+paste album covers. amazon.com is way better than allcdcovers.com. there, now you know my secret =)

and just now, my iPod froze. i was browsing the song list and then it just stopped and had that buzzing sound. scared the shyt outta me. i thought "there goes my iPod. oohh, time to get a new one wtf"

one. word.

google.

one click and problem solved. there goes my hope of getting a new iPod. i should have gotten the iPod classic. i'm starting to run out of space with my iPod nano. i have 1332 songs excluding songs which have yet to be transfered from my cd's. and everytime i watch gossip girl or grey's anatomy, i end up loving the songs played and will hunt for them. i found the most AWESOMEMEST website that lists all the songs played in an episode. hearts.

one song i'm really into right now is emilliana torrini's big jumps.

exams 2008

one down, two to go. yippee ai ayy i'm a cowboy wtf.

feels damn good to be relieved of one subject now. one book less to read, more space on my table.

but then it feels like the tougher subjects are coming up now. brrr..contemporary fiction comes to mind. is it me or did it just get cold in here wtf. sigh. andrew's subject does that to you. great lecturer, terribly tough subjects. brrrrr...

then the day after is all about althusser, foucault and his governmentality bla bla bla, pii pii por por (ZOMG i'm having a flashback moment here-lips and j).

boy do i LOVE exams. feel the joy emanating from my pores, bursting at the seams and flowing through every fibre of my being. i'm gonna burst into song now wtf. *singin' in the rain, i'm singin' in the rain...*

another one turns twenty

You know who you are...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


xoxo

i like it i like it

i'm gonna make a movie!

after completing my FINAL assignment of the sem, i have come to the conclusion that i enjoy the process of making a movie/tv show. it's way better when you see the final cut of your hard work on screen.

watch out spielberg! *jengjengjeng*

i'm looking at films and other productions on screen differently now. i now see how they edit their clips and i find it so interesting how they can cut into a new scene so effortlessly. for us, cross dissolve baby, the magic wand that makes editing that much easier.

making a film/tv show is no walk in the park. you have to visualise how the final product will look like on screen. what music you're gonna insert into the scene while you're actually filming the scene. it's all about thinkin ahead way before you start. and i like it. but this might just be a passing phase for me. whatever it is, i hope to find something i'm passionate about before the end of my final year.

i mean, i think i like the whole film making process but DO I REALLY LIKE IT? i'm fickle minded like that. i also think i want to work in a magazine but thats what i think i want because i'm basing my ideas of what its like to work for a magazine on the devil wears prada and ugly betty wtf. the only way i'll know if those are my passions is to actually be there, doing it for real.

i cannot go on going with the flow now can i? i'm gonna join the workforce in a years time and i dont want to go stumbling into something that will secure me a certain kind of stability if i still dont know what i want at the end of it.

i already know what i want to major in so i can base my career decisions based on my qualifications but then again, not everyone practices what they preach or learn in this case. and that's okay.

look, there's even a silent film contest which i am actually contemplating on participating. want to join me belinda? i saw your entry on wanting hallmark to hire you wtf. you cannot escape me now wtf.

i might not be good at what i'm doing but i can learn. ancora imparo (can you say fuyoh! wtf. i am monash material indeed wtf)

hols kickin' in

i'm already in holiday mood which is a really REALLY bad thing because i can't be in holiday mood yet as my holidays are not here yet.

i have to study. after this week of course because i'm still busy with another assignment which THANKFULLY is not an essay. i will die if i have to write another essay. for the year 2008, that is. i cannot afford to die writing an essay next year because that will be the cycle once again. oh joy.

i collected my passport today and there was a long queue outside the office. i got there and the guard asked "UK or US?"

then he asked me to queue up. then this lady guard stopped me and asked me the same thing. next thing i know, i was scanned and let in to the very empty office. sat down and exchanged pleanseantries and 5 minutes later i was out of the office. the queue wasn't any shorter.

i'm still curious as to why those people were queuing up. were they waiting for their passports too? or were they applying for their visa? oh wells...sucks to be them wtf.

ok. gossip girl finished downloading. byebye.

so scared

since handing up my last essay of the semester, OF THE FRICKIN' YEAR BABY! i have been a bum. and a happy bum indeed.

it feels good to come home and be able to do nothing. feels good not to worry about reading and researching and then actually beginning writing the essay. feels good not to think about structuralism, poststructuralism, derrida, foucault, idealism, materialism, ideology, discourse and many other brain screwing mind numbing head banging nails on walls tear inducing theories which at this point in time seem to be of uselessness because what will i be needing these theories for in the future? will it help me get a rich husband? will it help me become a rich tai tai? will it make me happy? wtf i so drama now.

wait a minute.

this isn't over yet, is it?

as i recall, i have exams in 2 weeks time.

bring on the brain screwing mind numbing head banging nails on walls tear inducing theories!


i is sked now. +____+

technology savoury

my mother is not technologically 'savoury' (jega, 2007).

"i'll google the recipe"
"huh? what's google?"
+________+ like the holy grail of all things WWW.

story behind it was that there was a pineapple at home so i told my mother why not make pineapple fried rice! she goes to say "why don't you cook it, if you can get the recipe"

pfft. she's TOTALLY underestimating me. so that's when i said "i'll google the recipe"

all hail GOOGLE *insert relevant emoticon*

madison oh madison

today taught me a very important lesson.

NEVER. EVER. WEAR. HEELS. WHEN. WALKING. FOR. HOURS.

i know heels make you look pretty and taller than you really are but for the love of me, i salute women i see wearing heels whilst shopping. RESPEK wtf.

i now have extremely tired feet. sigh. from now onwards, heels will only be worn to sit and make me feet look pretty and sexy wtf. i could literally hear my feet screaming in AGONY. a certain amount of the population will now think i walk funny because i walked like captain jack sparrow only i wasn't half drunk and i'm not as sexy as johnny depp. life is so unfair wtf. but my heels make me look taller. sigh. dilemma wtf.

and i now COVET the madison bag! so cantik.

aku tak boleh tunggu untuk pergi ke US! adoi..aku pergi ke US untuk 'the wrong reasons' (i lupa the malay word for reasons wtf) tidak apa. aku akan bekerja keras untuk mendapat duit berlambak banyak. seronoknya hidupku ni wtf.

which totally reminds me, i now need to bekerja keras menulis esei aku. semoga aku berjaya.

totally random fact, i stopped writing my essay last night with 888 words. so 'ong' horr.
and now, after starting and then stopping to blog (rajinnya aku) i have 911 words! wahh..so cool hor wtf.

wtf. that means i only wrote 23 words from yesterday to today.

byee. must finish it now. i give myself one hour to write 1000 words. RAH RAH!

the power of naps

i woke up this morning with all the intention to start on my essay.

a 2000 word essay which is so theoretically based that i want to hurl myself across the universe and never come back wtf.

trust me. if you've read althusser and foucault, you'll know what i mean.

so i took out my books, propped myself comfortably on the bed, grabbed my pillow, laid my head on the pillow for a 5-minute power nap which went on to become a 3 hour nap +_________+

innocence of the $$$ kind

i walked innocently into mng.
walked innocently out.

i walked innocently into dp.
walked innocently out.

i walked innocently into topshop.
...
and came out...

innocently poorer! i swear. i should not have thought to myself that there's no harm in trying out the clothes.

WRONG!

if anything, more damage done. to the pocket that is.
my happiness level however is on H-I-G-H!

i'm such a girl laa.

brek

i'm supposed to be slaving away to althusser and foucault.

needless to say, the break has gotten to me.

good times *nudgenudgeLips*

kindness undeserved

tonight, it is silent. a good time to start writing my 2000 word essay which was supposed to be due friday but was given an extension till monday.

whoever said lecturers were mean and heartless, take it back. NOW! they are very kind creatures. they know how we lowly creatures of a student suffer from the countless essays we have to churn out and have placed mercy on us. bless their kind, kind hearts.

but this kindness isn't without its flaws. because there is now an additional 48 hours in my time to churn out said essay, i have become a bum. thus very undeserving of the kindness shown by my lecturers.

so i shall end here.

2000 words here i come.

My True Hollywood Story

OMG I NEED TO VENT MY FRUSTRATION!

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU.

BACK UP YOUR FILES. NO. MATTER. WHAT.

YOUR COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED. EVER. IT WILL JUST TURN OFF ONE DAY AND THEN THAT'S IT. BYE-BYE UNSAVED FILES.

ok i could feel my throat getting sore typing in CAPs.

i am damn damn damn damn damn damn damn sad x 12358365498
*insert extremely depressed/sad emoticon*

my OS had a kink in it because the absolutely brilliant me shut off my notebook when it was in the midst of updating/installing new softwares.

let's just say that this wasn't the first time i have done this. but every other time i DID do it, i could start my notebook and it was like nothing ever happened. i think the last time i did it was the straw that broke the camel's back wtf. when i tried to restart, all it did was remain blank +__+

SIGH.

that's when i whipped out my manual and did everything it said to do.

but to no avail...

OMG OMG OMG *panic mode sets in*

i was cool, calm and collected before the manual came out. i was still cool, calm and collected when the manual came out. i thought to myself, i have all the luck with these machines. the amount of nonsense i do with them will amaze you. i'm like Handy Manny without the talking tools. i'm like Bob the Builder without the heavy machinery.

i can fix almost anything *ahem* just by shaking, poking, fiddling, meddling, *insert relevant term* the machine.

but not today. today just wasn't my day.

i thought it was my day because i received my assignment mark and was satisfied. i thought the day couldn't get worst but it DID.

SIGH

can you tell that i am VERY SAD!??

SIGH

i took it the computer guy to fix after all my tactics, magic tricks failed me.

tinker a bit here and there. connected an Ethernet cable (whatever that is) to another notebook and omg my entire file could be viewed from the other notebook! HALLELUJAH!!!

immediately began to transfer my files from my notebook to the other notebook. this was when i breathed a HUGE sigh of relief.

because the installation of the OS will take an hour, i left thinking that it was safe to leave my notebook behind in the hands of the computer guy whom i began to trust.

an hour came and went by.

i went back in a jolly good mood because all is well.

the moment i went up to the guy,

"the backup file is G-O-N-E"

*silence on my part* eyes to his face. eyes to the notebook that supposedly held my backup files.

"you're KIDDING me" *thinking he was gonna drop the act and start laughing HA HA HA*

"NO" *dead serious face on*

*my internal body parts gradually stopped working. hatiku pecah berkecai-kecai"
"OH EM GEE"
"i don't know what happened. the file is now gone. nobody touched the notebook"

"OH EM GEE!!! has this ever happened before?"

"No"

just my luck laa this happens to me. if i was alone at that very moment, i would have cried. i would have stabbed myself in the heart like buffy would stab angel/spike in the heart if she didn't love them so damn much.

I WAS DEVASTATED. must have shown on my face cause the guy HAD to ask if i was 'okay'.

WHAT THE FUDGE. OF COURSE I AM NOT OKAY. MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS WIPED OUT.

YES I'M BEING OVERDRAMATIC/MELODRAMATIC/DRAMATIC *whatever makes you sleep at night*

if i wasn't being so self conscious i would have thrown a bitch fit.

i left with a VERY HEAVY HEART making the guy promise me he'll do whatever it takes to try and retrieve my LOST FILES *teary eye*

so here i am, trying to re-install whatever it was i lost.

*SHOUT OUT TO BELINDA*
she told me about that i could transfer songs from my ipod to my itunes. bless her soul! she saved me the trouble of downloading the songs all over again although she did offer to give me archuleta's songs which would only save me the trouble of downloading one song less *cough*cough*

so i sit here in my room, devastated and frustrated.

but then there is a magic rainbow of hope, joy and peace after the storm (chay, 2008). i discovered things i NEVER knew my notebook had and could do ie. i can the change the wallpaper!? *GASP*

it's like i'm playing with a new toy after opening my xmas present. again.

and i've just realized that facebook is heaven sent. all is not lost after all. loads of my lost photos can be found there.

it's like a new beginning. a fresh start. an empty desktop waiting to be filled. and also a change of wallpaper *ahem*

the day doesn't seem to be looking all that bad anymore. this might actually be a blessing in disguise.

or maybe its just wishful thinking.

or maybe i'm really optimistic =)

either ways, i shall not dwell on the past.

a wise master once said "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present" (Oogway, 2008).

wise words indeed.

This has been my E! True Hollywood Story.

glamour me befitting of a true hollywood star wtf

fried bananas/banana fritters *oh whatever*

i have my radiotv journalism reader propped on my lap, ready to attack my notebook and hopefully finish my assignment by 5pm today (the deadline i self-imposed) but its 4.26pm now.

sigh.

i'm not one for deadlines. especially self-imposed deadlines wtf.

but the deadline is not until friday 5.30pm.

my goal. to complete it and hand it in tomorrow. *can i hear thunderous applause wtf*

it doesn't help that the smell of rendang and i swear i smelled goreng pisang/pisang goreng (whatever rocks your boat) wafting in through my room window. cue orchestra wtf.

and now i'm craving keropok lekor.

ok wait. i'm craving mcdonalds also. damn that flyer i saw last night.

and reese's peanut butter pieces.

so instead of doing my assignment, i'm thinking of food.

and if you must know, i'm also waiting for 90210 latest episode to show up on youtube. come to think of it, 12am deadline won't seem to do. change to 2am wtf. extra 2 hours! teehee *pats self on back*

okay okay. just to show you how much of a bum i am, my assignment word limit is ONLY...

*
*
*

300 words!!!

what the fudge. *oohh..chocolate fudge nyumnyum*

wisdom be gone

don't laugh if i talk funny

because karma sucks *glares at belinda wtf*

i had my wisdom tooth(s) removed and will have another round to go.

therefore, i am no more wise (geddit!? hahaha so funny)

let's just say that it hurts to talk properly properly.

and don't get me started on eating. one sided chewing anyone?

but i have to say, the process of getting the tooth out...OH EM GEE! it's like a horror movie without the visuals. radio drama wtf.

unless of course, you open your eyes that is *such brave souls*

but of course i shut my eyes throughout the process *ahem*. not so brave and daring. but the sounds you hear will scare the bejeezus out of you. imagine the sound of drilling, drilling and more DRILLING. with a commentary from the dentist. omg somebody grab the remote and mute the damn commentary! plus i could actually hear the tooth being yanked out FORCEFULLY from my bones/jaws/mouth whatever scientific term it is. like literally bones breaking *shudders at the memory*

can you imagine if there was NO ANESTHESIA? let's NOT even go there.

silver lining?

i didn't feel a thing. although the anesthesia did hurt a bit. i could feel the needle poking through my cheeks and just waiting to get out from the other side *shudders* freakky stuff. and i could feel my cheeks getting hotter and my mouth getting numb. and i kept asking the nurse if it'll hurt because she asked if i was scared +__+

no. i was very brave. and in half an hour, i was done.

with a cotton bud shove in between my tooth which i didn't even realize was there till the doc told me to NOT swallow the cotton *insert relevant emoticon*

i am singing along to selena gomez's tell me something i don't know.

in my head of course.

because i can't sing along. hurts too much.

sigh.

labels, love or pomo?

Hakuna Matata

*beats chest ala kingkong*

i am triumphant.

for now.

on a random note, i'm lovin' the lyrics of 'labels or love' by fergie from SATC.

it SPEAKS to me. i want to be Carrie Bradshaw. i want her wardrobe minus the outrageous fashion. wtf i want mr big. and THAT walk in wardrobe!

ok maybe not mr big. he was a coward. nvm a rich coward wtf i'm so shallow.

the horoscope

today's horoscope read something like this "work and health no good" wtf. and it was damn true wtfwtf. i had the misfortune of having my cramps this afternoon when working on my radio program. sigh.

had to drive home in pain.

but now that the pain is gone, i will have to work on my 2500 word long essay. at this moment i only have 397 words +__+

yesterday morning, said essay was supposed to be due on friday (tomorrow!) but on the same yesterday morning, said essay was given an extension! can you feel the joy!? CAN YOU? CAN YOU? HUH HUH HUH!!!

anyways, extension means prolonged procrastination wtf. sigh, tak sedar diri langsung.

thank goodness no other assignment due next week or else will eat into the other assignments time. trust me. it happens. *shudders with fear at the thought*

so after happy news was given, had to sit through one and a half hours of S-L-O-W fragmented, traumatic, painful memory film followed by a colourful, make you wanna tap dance and sing musical film. quite a pleasant day. 2 films in one day = priceless wtf.

ok. that's not true. tuition fees = RMx,xxx.xx X2

actually, yesterday was a very good day come to think of it. because i L-O-V-E youtube!

gossip girl, one tree hill and 90210...OMG and many more to come hopefully! watched until 3am +__+

sigh. see what i mean when i said extension is actually prolonged procrastination.

90210 is my new guilty pleasure. i remember watching the original beverly hills 90210 with my parents on tv3 +__+

which reminds me. lipstick jungle! OMFG! damn PANAS wtf. i feel like a schoolgirl now. which of course i'm not. i am an undergraduate. who happens to act like a schoolgirl when no one is watching wtf. yes, i scream when i see a lelaki yang kacak on screen. which is alot. thanks to youtube.

i should hide my face now wtf.

by the way, every club should emulate MOS. the no smoking rule. i smelt damn good after =)

the word

i hate reading academic essays.

they take the fun out of reading.

bombastic words are used right, left and center. one sentence can be read a gazillion times and you still don't know what they're talking about. the dictionary becomes your bedside friend, the best friend you never knew you had.

microsoft word has the thesaurus function which is god sent i tell you.

word count. i heart you so when i've almost reached the required word count. the wonders of technology. i would die if i had to use the typewriter and manually count 2500 words +___+

***

omfg. please focus. you have a 25oo word essay due next week! does the word contem.fic. and andrew not scare you!? *slaps self repeatedly*

ok. bye bye. wish me luck wtf.

random fact #5: i'm procrastinating kao-kao and somehow, i'm not yet afraid of contemporary fiction and andrew. yikes. not good. must start on it NOW!

random fact #6: mourning and melancholia is making my head spin like a gasing wtf

random fact #7: the rain is affecting my mood and state of mind.

random fact #8: the hills is very addictive!

menu a la carte

every restaurant needs to have a M-E-N-U!

or else how to order? and know how much the dish is?

it's a basic human right ok wtf. i need to know what you serve and how much i'm bloody paying!

2 makan place comes to mind when i'm typing this. if you know me, then you'll know la. i'm not gonna type it here. i must remain anonymous and mysterious wtf.

but c'mon laa. wasn't there a big hoohaa when mamaks didn't display their price on the menu or something? or was it because they simply naik harga on the drinks and roti's? can't remember the specifics but i remember the hoohaa.

so, same thing lor. get a menu please. as though customers know what you serve. yes la, you can cook anything the customers order but customers wouldn't know until you tell them. so list it out on you menu laa. and if ask apa sedap, got the cheek to say "everything also nice. if not nice, won't serve" wtf.

and then they will list the whole bloody menu out verbally in like 5 seconds wtf.

you think this is bullet train meh? brain processor ok not intel wtf. takes time to process the message. linear model wtf. sender ---> message ---> receiver (education put to good use wtf)

and then you'll just start panicking cause the dude is standing there waiting for you to order so you'll just order the first thing that comes out from his mouth when you ask the dude to repeat.

or they'll ask what you want. pasta, chicken, fish, rice, nasi lemak and the list goes on.

dude, how to think what i want if you're standing there spewing food names like a bullet train?

is it VERY MAHAL to produce menus? c'mon man. if you can afford to buy plastic tables and chairs instead of renting a proper shop lot and extending your business by buying or renting over the shoplots next door instead of sitting at road sides, i'm sure you can produce a menu. print on paper and bind it laa wtf. we students do it all the time for assignments ok wtf. tak ada profit langsung. only grades wtf.

but the damn thing is right, business damn good lor. so i guess having no menu works for you.

but still, i don't like lor. i don't know how much the food is. simply tambah here tambah there. for all i know, you could have added in an extra few cents or ringgit to make it easier. and we just willingly pay the price.

why laa nobody complain about them not having a menu and displaying their prices?

but then again, it's a known fact their prices aren't cheap anyways. still....

just get a bloody menu. makes life so much easier...for me anyways.

this is just RIDICULOUS!!!

Lavigne 'too sexy' for Malaysia gig

15 hours ago

Malaysia has cancelled a concert by Canadian rock singer Avril Lavigne after the Islamic opposition slammed the show as being "too sexy".

The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry said it was unsuitable for Malaysian culture and could not be held on August 29, two days ahead of the country's independence day.

The government's decision comes after the youth wing of a fundamentalist opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, called for the show's to be scrapped.

Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party youth official, said that Lavigne's show was "considered too sexy for us" and would promote the wrong values on the eve of Malaysia's independence day.

excuse me while i go BULLSHIT!

my wednesday routine today

woke up early this morning (8am) to try and finish reading Beloved.

read a few pages. eyes got heavier. pillow became softer. blanket kept me warm and snuggly. and my bedside lamp became SUPER GLARING i had to wear sunglasses to keep the glare away, yo.

then i fell asleep.

screw Beloved la. finish it tonight. let andrew spoil it for me. i dont care anymore.

i woke up reluctantly at 9am.

came home from class in the afternoon. read the paper (felt damn bangga for LCW got to meet the PM and show off his Silver Medal and get RM300,000. i also want!)

ate kinder bueno yumyum. drank water. slept till 6pm.

then got lovely visit from jman! who brought eggtarts fresh from ipoh yumyum.

ate dinner in the rain. drizzling made me eat so fast didn't get to enjoy pffft. now damn bloated lorr. stoopid. i want it to rain HEAVILY now so that i didn't stuff myself so fast for nothing. RAIN RAIN NOW!

i'm now happily surfing the net doing mindless things. i should continue reading Beloved.

the book is rather confusing. ahh, to read a postmodern text!

there's this one chapter where it makes NO SENSE at all super confusing like who is she talking about and then got no punctuations just a space so right it's like reading everything in ONE BIG BREATH crazy shyte
(imagine that sentence i just did, no punctuations right? x 5 pages)

but really sad too. go read it if you dare.

this is like a diary entry. not so much a blog post, huh. I'M CHALLENGING THE SYSTEM WTF
RAH RAH!

sportsmanship

i'm never one for sports.

like i avoided PJK like the plague. i never wanted to play anything at all. i ran away from the balls instead of catching 'em. go ahead and laugh.

but this year's Olympics got me excited.

i actually wanted to watch the badminton finals.
and
I HAVE NEVER WATCHED A SINGLE BADMINTON MATCH IN MY LIFE!

you can practically see the nation's hopes on him. stress man!

watching the Olympics this year makes me wanna grab a racket, ball whatever and just hit,smash,kick whatever. or run. or swim.

makes me wanna master a sport actually.

you know what the Olympics should turn into an event? essay writing. that is one serious sport. no sleep. constant caffeine fix. can make you go crazy wtf.

i've been reading the sports section of the newspaper too 0_o
which is so unlike me.
the Olympics is really getting to me.

gymnastics. diving. athletics. weightlifting. badminton. table tennis. swimming.

i find weightlifting very scary though yet fun to watch wtf. i'm so scared they'll fall on the weightlifters and then crush them or something +__+

the life

two down.

one to go.

the story of my life.

pfft :/

of mindlessness

it's a wednesday night.

i'm facebooking, blog hopping, gossip reading, listening to the endless stream of music flowing from my iTunes, contemplating whether i should have a piece of chocolate (at this hour!) among many other mindless things.

i know i should be doing something more productive. something intellectual perhaps?

i have this nagging feeling that i'm supposed to be rushing something. the number 15 pops up periodically and yet, i have no idea what that number signifies.

*thinks thinks thinks*

nope. still clueless.

so while i'm thinking, let me tell you something about this lady marguerite duras.

i don't like reading her books. period.

so the confusing it's like sitting the merry-go-round a gazillion times. and so the depressing. and just so mixed up.

indeed you are a marvelous woman, doing the things you did and going through such rough periods in life.

but six feet under you are.

ohh... six feet under. that rings a bell *ding ding wtf*

*thinks thinks thinks*

nope. can't seem to place my finger on it. sounds very important though.

moving on.

i can't count. period.
i hate maths. period.

went to this brain development center (not for me, my brain gonna combust thanks to contemporary fiction) and this guy posed a math problem.

there are 14 animals.
there are chickens and rabbits.
there are 40 legs.
how many chickens and how many rabbits?

my head was literally throbbing. never have i seen a math question after my mufy days.

feels damn great to be an arts student now HAHA.

OMG NOW I REMEMBER!

I HAVE 2 ASSIGNMENTS DUE ON THE 15th.

au revoir.

bangkok post in its finality finally

did he believe us?

so after declaring loudly that one of us was going to be staying at a friends place, he began to get busy with the paperwork and click clicking on the computer.

so we waited. and waited. and waited.

and then he declares

"i have upgraded your rooms to a suite"

O___O

"but if i catch three of you in the room, i will charge you double"

+___+

"have a pleasant stay *flashes smile wtf*

***

when we got into the room, we were like 'WHOAAA'

we had a living and dining room. with a walk in wardrobe the size of a public toilet cubicle and a huge ass bathroom. basically, we had a BIG room for 3 girls.

damn good deal.

rights. i'm getting lazy to type so i'll let the photos do the talking.

view from our room

the uncle who sold us skewered chicken&pork. he's holding an egg which will make us strong. he kept showing us his muscle while holding the chicken. but anyways, he damn layan. posed whenever the camera was directed at him. must be thinking we damn jakun, never see hawker food seller before wtf. and he was damn nice. buy 10 free 1 and he added in 3 of the eggs that will make us strong!


Platinum Fashion Mall is every female's dream destination in Bangkok. must visit ok! i rate this 11 stars wtf. your money will surely be well spent here.

satisfied after shopping!

then we headed to the shopping centers! this is us in front of Central World. it's just like your regular shopping mall. most of the brands here can be found back home. anyways, when going to Bangkok, you dont buy stuff you can get back home. you buy cheap stuff!


then we headed to Paragon, where we had Tony Roma's Pork Ribs *yumyum* faster guess how much? it was less than 250 baht. TONY ROMA'S PORK RIBS you cannot get at that price! there was a promotion going on i think, hence the very affordable pricing. the beef ribs back here is already like rm50++ so imagine our joy when we saw the price for pork ribs. i think the fact that it was pork ribs was enough to tempt us to eat it anyways. if it wasn't pork ribs it would have been mcdonald's pork burger. see the pattern? we were in a pork indulgence.

after dinner, waiting for a taxi!

then at night this is what we came home to.

ok fine, not exactly. we had to buy this before 12am because in Thailand, they dont sell alcohol after 12am.

drink we did.

and again, drink we did. shots!

then, partied we did.

the next day it was off to chatuchak, the biggest weekend market! must come here at least once when in bangkok. the enormity of the market amazes me. can get lost i'm not kidding. and the rule is to buy what you see. dont even think of thinking about it and then going back to the shop to get it. cause, that's not gonna be possible.

believe me when i say we hunted high and low for them coconuts! unfortunately they weren't chilled cold. room temperature pfft. the weather was damn hot! but nevermind, got to satisfy my coconut craving. going to Thailand, one cannot miss out on their coconuts and orange tangerine whatever you want to call it. those 2 drinks MUST drink when in Thailand especially in hot weather like Thailand.

after chatuchak, we headed to Emporium. i think we spent about an hour in the shoe department i kid you not. we took forever in deciding if we wanted to buy the shoes or not. the salesperson must have wanted to strangle us +__+ but alas, we all bought the shoe! no need to strangle after all since got business albeit it took forever to come to that decision wtf. then after getting our shoes, we went to get ourselves a massage! when in Thailand, the massage cannot miss! be it a foot massage or full body massage. very worth it especially after a long day of shopping =D the photo shows them preparing for our massage


at night, we headed off to suan lum night market. another great place to visit. you can find all kinds of kitschy stuff here. there was this shop that had one of a kind shoes, but unfortunately, they're made to order so we couldn't buy 'em. after suan lum, we planned to head back to the hotel but halfway, we decided to go visit patpong, another night market but not just any night market. this night market offers you the chance of watching a 'ping-pong show'. and boy are the pimps aggressive. they practically stalk you. we were curious as to what it was about so we asked one of them pimps and the next thing we know when we walked away, she (yes, a she pimp wtf) stalked us. we got damn scared and quickly hopped into the above pictured tuk-tuk.

we went back into the comforts of our hotel room. but of course, not before stopping by 7eleven. seriously, there were 3 7elevens right in front of our hotel! as you can see from the photo above, there are 2 cans of heineken, 2 bottles of smirnoff red, 3 cocktails, 1 lychee something *i forgot the name* and a bottle of black smirnoff. OMG ALL THAT FOR 3 GIRLS!!!
at the end of the day, we downed a can of heineken and one of them alcopops. we alternated between the 2 and omg the combination will leave you high. guaranteed wtf.

so there you go.

that concludes my bangkok post.

i had tonnes of fun in bangkok with the 2 monkeys. the long nights of chit-chat, bonding over shopping and drinks, and the very carerful language we used makes for one heck of a memory!

we had so much fun, we're thinking of making this an annual trip!

ps: you know what my theory is regarding our hotel room? i think he knew we were lying and that was why he upgraded us. or maybe it's because it was 3 of us girls. smitten with us wtf. whatever the reason, bless his soul. he made our stay in bangkok all the more memorable! superior suite for 3 girls. i feel like i was in an episode of sex and the city wtf. the shoes, the shopping, the drinking, the city of Bangkok, the chitchats minus the sex. or not. HA HA *wiggles eyebrow*

adventures in bangkok pt.1

WHEN...

all of a sudden an announcement was made.

"Attention Ms Lips, Ms Jman and Ms Nat"
(i forgot what else was said)

OH EM GEE!

we immediately jumped from our seats and ran straight to the boarding gate. we were SO shocked to hear our names being called. OMG so memalukan.

RUN RUN RUN we did.

so embarrassing ok. and the workers were laughing and pointing at us.

what a way to start the trip hor. first time in my life such a thing happened. nevermind, at least we were fashionably late wtf. sigh..why are we so fabulous and glamorous wtf?

anyways, we arrived and then took a cab to our hotel. if you wanna be 'economical' like us, take the public cabs cos it's wayyyy cheaper (400 baht) compared to the airport cab (1000 baht).

and thus begins our journey to bangkok, the land of smiles.

we stayed in baiyoke sky hotel, the tallest hotel in bangkok.

and if the airport incident wasn't adventure enough for us, we had another one in the hotel when we were checking in.

i forgot to hide one of us and let 2 people check in. so 3 of us went up to the reception to check in.

as the guy was checking us in, he looked up at us and asked

"how many person checking in?"

"urhmm...3?"

"i'll have to charge you additional 800 baht per night"

"oooohhhhh....urhmmm"

then the guy turned away to continue with his paperwork whilst the 3 of us began to devise a plan. luckily Lips *pats Lips on the back wtf* was fast enough to say

"like that arrr...then Jman, you stay with *insert random name* laa. call him to come pick you up now"

then the guy came back to us and we immediately said

"she's not staying with us. she's gonna stay at a friends place"

the guy looked at us funny.

*omg please believe us. please believe us*












TO BE CONTINUED once again..

pre-bangkok post

FINALLY.

i got the pictures. so now its time for my bangkok post *clapclapwtf*

ok first of, i have a very embarrassing story to tell. omg so embarrassing laa. should i tell?? should i tell??

nevermind. my epidermis is a bit the tebal so i shall tell. you lucky readers, you!

me and lips went to the LCCT 2 hours early. since we were so early, we decided to eat and wait for jman before checking in.

jman came.

checked in.

then it was jman's turn to eat.

when it comes to airport food, better stick with the ones you know ie. mcd's. because the asian kitchen/express/whatever its called wasn't good. so i was told. plus very expensive. if you're gonna pay a premium price might as well pay for doublecheeseburgerandfrenchfries yum yum.

by that time, i think were about an hour before departure.

so...we lengang lengong here and there. do note that we were to fly at 8.50pm. by the time we went into the departure hall it was 8.30pm. i think we must have been too excited or too tired or just plain clueless.

8.50pm is DEPARTURE TIME.

8.20pm is BOARDING TIME.

we were sitting in the waiting area around 8.30pm. some more we were saying "where's the gate arr?" "why nobody queuing up?" "haih..so tired, let's just sit and wait"

so there we were sitting and waiting to board at 8.50pm thinking still got long time more...

WHEN...





TO BE CONTINUED *jeng jeng jeng*

hair hair

has this ever happened to you?

when you want to go out, you try to do your hair but no matter how many times you comb, blowdry or tie it a certain way it'll never turn out the way or look as good as you want it to? like no matter how long you stand in front of the mirror with your comb in hand and hairdryer in the other, it just never turns out good.

BUT

when you're at home in your shorts and t-shirt, you randomly do your hair, it turns out bloody good. like the hair just falls nicely in place without you even looking in the mirror!! you only realize when you look in the mirror to see it that you realize, "damn i look good" wtf of course i don't say that *coughcough*

sigh. to be a girl. so difficult laa. shave my hair and be bald laa. save money on shampoo and no need to hairdry wtf no need to towel dry also cos the water will just drip off.

pink martini, my dose of happiness

i must have taken a pill of happiness or optimism because i feel light and free. i feel worry-less. i feel like i can do whatever and be whatever.

hmm...

effin' weird feeling.

but i'm not complaining. this is probably what it feels like to be high on life. or maybe it's because i haven't seen a certain "someone" who has been the root of my worries and despair.

dang it. i knew it was too good to be true.

let's hope for my sake that i have become immune.

***

i have FINALLY made the switch of operators.

no more creepy yellow fellow who looks like a tellytubby wannabe who says he'll follow you.

pfft. liars lah.

more like we will follow you.

***

i really like this song by Pink Martini "Je Ne Veux Pas Travailler".



doesn't it make you feel happy-ish? or make you feel like you're in paris at a cafe sipping whatever gourmet coffee, hot chocolate (OMG HAZELNUT HOT CHOCOLATE) for me with a freshly baked chocolate croissant at the side or if you must, at starbucks laa since thats where i heard the song first anyways?

Ahhh...to enjoy the simplicities of life.

day2

second day of classes.

tutorial for mcp was...fun? different? yet same at the same time.

the stock market for presentation topics. le sigh. missed out on the 2 that i wanted. nevermind. better take the earlier ones so that i'll be done and over with it sooner.

somehow i'm glad i have something to keep me occupied with for the semester. whether it will take a toll on my studies is another matter but somehow, i know that i will pull through. this is after all my future we're talking about. if i can juggle it all and survive, bravo.

i won't even think otherwise.

sem2

new semester officially started today. joy!

and i was late.

thanks to the road blocks. paranoid much!?

seasick

i cannot believe my holidays are over. 3 weeks of ups and downs.

the ups came fast. very happy ups indeed.

but so did the downs. and boy did they come crashing into me. there is a wave of emotions crashing into me that i feel nauseous. like i'm about to puke any time. and not because of the crazy amounts of liquid i have consumed over the past week. i am literally nauseous. something is stuck in my throat, waiting to just come spilling out.

i was the calm before the storm.

i am NOW the wave, the sea, the lightning and the thunderstorm. i am the iceberg that sank the ocean liner. i killed jack and because of me, rose is jack-less wtf.

i am the raging sea.

sometimes i really feel like i am floating in the middle of the deep, vast fucking ocean. all by myself. wallowing in my self fucking misery.

i literally have a wave of emotions inside of me. one moment i was gung ho about something, the next, i was so depressed i had to take deep breaths just so that i wouldn't burst out.

i had a brief moment of happiness when i found out who lucas chose to bring to las vegas that i was pumping the air, going "yessss!!!"

i am fucking miserable.

i am fucking depressed.

this isn't the end of the world. there are other worst things that COULD happen. shit happens.

accepting it.

denying it.

i am nauseous.

i am the dark, emo wannabe sitting in the corner playing with the blade.

physical pain is tangible. scars are the proof of the pain and tears.

my insides need to bleed and its bleeding. leona lewis bleeding love wtf.

SIGHHHHHHH

SIGHHHHHHHH

my ass will be worked till its sore next sem!


***

bangkok post will be up when i get the pics from the Lovely Perempuan.

poker face

for the first time i played poker.



with my lecturers too!

this was the time to suck up kao-kao to my lecturer. i donated $100 to my lecturer. the future looks very promising *rubs hands in glee

poker also confirms that arts students can't count. or maybe we're just colour blind.

it was a farewell party worth remembering.

it was also like an episode of gossip girl minus the sex. or maybe not. who knows!?

i'd say it was very enlightening. the 2 bright eyed (okay, maybe not so bright eyed anymore. we have seen the light!) 2nd year students learnt lots from the senior graduating students.

now i have ALOT to live up to.

you know you love me
xoxo gossip girl
wtf

2 in a week

wednesday was spent watching a movie and gossiping.




thursday was spent watching a movie and shopping.




seeing a regular pattern?

OMG, i watched 2 movies in one week. that's rm14 worth of dvds.

BUT i have to say, both movies are definitely worth watching. get smart is hilarious with a capital H. steve carell is just pure funny. it's like the office on big screen. plus a tiny bit of harry potter in it. not laugh-out-loud funny but HA HA HA funny.

Siegfried: How do I know you're not from CONTROL?
Maxwell Smart: If I were from CONTROL, you'd already be dead.
Siegfried: If you were from CONTROL, YOU'D already be dead.
Maxwell Smart: Neither of us is dead, so I'm obviously not from CONTROL.
[long pause]
Shtarker: That actually makes sense.

this sort of dialogue are a plenty. which is very entertaining. and who would have thought steve carell could be a leading man! check out his other movie, dan in real life.

Sloan: It a choice, Wesley, that each of us must face: to remain ordinary, pathetic, beat-down, coasting through a miserable existence, like sheep herded by fate, or you can take control of your own destiny and join us, releasing the caged wolf you have inside. Our purpose is to maintain stability in an unstable world - kill one, save a thousand. Within the fabric of this world, every life hangs by a thread. We are that thread - a fraternity of assassins, weapons of fate. This is the decision that lies before you know: the sheep, or the wolf. The choice is yours.

FANTABULUSTIC!

i liked the editing of the movie. cool shyt man. it's like the matrix and sin city combined.

there's a scene which so reminded me of the matrix. but this was just crazy! cos in the matrix it wasn't really real. everything was a code and all. but in wanted, this was real shyt so when that scene came up, i was just 'WHOA!'

james mcavoy totally unexpected but so so SO AWESOMETASTIC! who would have thought the guy from narnia, becoming jane, atonement and penelope could be in an action movie!




and not a big fan of hers but i have to admit angelina jolie looked really hot in the movie.



the only thing ruining the fun in the movie is the totally unnecessary censoring of swear words. for goodness sake, people pay good money to watch the movie. this is not shown on tv. plus its already rated 18SG. adults are watching NOT 5 year old kids! really potong stim! potong kau kau!

it was so random. when they started using swear words, they muted the part. and it was so obvious lah what they were saying. but they JUST had to mute it! so there are parts in the movie that goes 'bla bla *silence* bla bla *silence* bla bla'

the cinema was pretty cool though. has been awhile since i watched at gsc mv. i remember not liking to watch there cos the screen wasn't as clear as the ones at tgv. the seats were good cos there was a headrest unlike in other cinemas where you had to slide down to rest your head on the seats. me likey likey the seats. i actually wanted to watch at the gsc premier at the gardens but because the tickets were double the price it was decided to be better off sticking to the regular priced cinema.

then there was the shopping.

window shopping more likely. i had to exercise self-control and kept with the mantra of "i'll be going to bangkok to shop" everytime i spotted something that i wanted. and thankfully, it's been working *gives self a pat on the back*

most also probably know that mng, zara and topshop, miss selfridge and dp are having SALE now.

OH EM GEE the queue in the fitting room is atrociously long. you would have thought the gov had annouced a price hike in apparels wtf. reminisce of the queue for petrol a day before the hike. instead of cars, a long line of females wtf.

like in each of the shops i mentioned above, there was bound to be a queue. totally made my exercising of self-control that much easier. i couldn't be bothered to queue. plus in mng it was really really hot and kinda stuffy. like they didn't bother to turn on their air-conditioning. pfft! and the clothes were in a total disarray. typical sale situation where clothes are just everywhere . even the clothes in a pasar malam would be better organized! that said, some of the stuff are reasonably priced. would probably be wise to go during a weekday like mondays or tuesdays OR be a smart shopper and wear shorts and a tank top so that you can just try on the clothes then and there. or wear a sarong and bikini! HA HA.

the sale in zara on the other hand, not really exciting. some items that i saw were like reduced from rm159.90 to rm129.90. pfftt..rm30 difference and you call that a sale. the crowd wasn't as crazy as mng though but the queue in the fitting room, just as long. i did see a bag that i liked and my self-control could only be controlled so much. thank goodness for the mantra i kept repeating. kept me sane wtf.

then the final stop we went to was the topshop/miss selfridge/dorothy perkins member's sale. storewide only 20%. wells, better 20% than nothing at all. as usual, a long line could be seen for the fitting rooms. however, the lines could be seen in topshop and dp. miss selfridge macam so kesian! no queue at all and no crowds either.

that said, nobody can resist a SALE. every shoppers favourite four letter word!

what did i get you might ask?
i got myself a rm10 tanktop and a rm5 hairclip. and no, they weren't on sale. you can call me cheapskate or you can call me economical wtf. and to think i was this close to getting that zara bag which was only cheaper by rm30! that would have been a rip off.

thankgoodness i am stingy with my money wtf.

ps:anyone going for the klue urbanscapes!? i can't decide if i want to go or not.

borrowed connection

my connection has gone God knows where. and therefore i am 'borrowing' someone's wireless. bless his soul for not password protecting it =D

after 5 agonizing days without any internet connection, i feel slightly whole again. why slightly? cos' it's not as fast as my very own connection!!! where are you??? can you please get back here NOW! clearly, i have gone mentally unstable because i have been preparing for a battle that just ended today =D=D=D *can i get a WOO-HOO!!*

i guess not having ANY internet connection for the past few days was a blessing in disguise, eh? cos that meant i didnt have any distractions. oh wells, the fruits of my labour shall be seen next month * both fingers crossed*

anyhoo, called the tm guy over and wtf dont come over laa if you dont know how to fix up/repair the wireless connection setting mumbo jumbo. so now i gotta take the modem to the computer man to do some badabingbadaboo on it.

they are so damn efficient, it's mind blowing.

i was delighted to find that there are still good samaritans out there who dont password protect their connection. good on you! helps the connectionless like me. so whoever you are, THANK YOU! you are too kind.

however, although i appreciate the wireless connection that i am borrowing, it is not the same as my very own. for one, it is super slow. so slow i could knit a sweater. not that i know how to knit a sweater. and for the life of me, i can't log onto messenger. boohoo.

oh em gee, i think i've gone delusional. i'm bloggin so passionately about an internet connection.

welcome to the 21st century.

friday the 13th

friday the 13th.

does the date freak you out? No? Yes? Right so i've got a story to tell...

It all began when pui yan called or was it sms?

Right, now i remember. We planned to go out the day before so the thing on friday was prearranged. le sigh..this is a sign of me aging +_+

So on friday we went out to catch a movie. we watched a happening movie. you'd probably figured it out already.










yeah, DAMN HAPPENING wtf.

this is an m.night shyamalan movie and i was expecting some twists at the end, you know, like all his other movies. let's just say its disappointing. plus we missed the first 10 minutes because we bought the tickets late. the movie isn't all bad. there are a few kan cheong parts where me and sook yan huddled together like the big bad monsters were out to get us wtf. plus it was freezing inside so dahlah i want to cover my ears and eyes AND also hug myself to keep myself warm and also eat popcorn at the same time. my hands could only do so much!

and there was one part in the movie where me and sook yan were like RUN LAAA!! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!!! WANNA DIE IS IT!!!????

yeahh...it was DAMN HAPPENING!

after the movie, i went and got myself 2 books. and these books have been occupying my studying time +__+ *MUST HAVE SELF-CONTROL*

once i got the books, we went off for dinner at asia cafe.

after dinner, we walked to the car. our car was parked near the banks, facing the mainroad and when we were going towards our car, there were loads of cars here and there, double-parking and waiting for space and what not.

we got to the car. i was at the passenger side with shalom and pui yan, sheeshee and sook yan were on the drivers side.

instead of opening the door, pui yan pressed the alarm button. and then the alarm stopped and the next thing i know i heard a really really soft "AHHH!!!"

naturally, i thought pui yan ahhhh-ed because she pressed the alarm button instead of the unlock button but then when i looked through the car window, to my HORROR.....

pui yan was in the middle of the road, with her handbag, purse, Croc slippers and...this is totally RANDOM, Hello Panda cookies sprawled on the tar road.

@$$HOLE!
pui yan was a snatch theft victim.
ALMOST.

she had bruises on her arms and tummy area but fortunately no bump on the head or anything serious. plus she didn't lose her bag!

by the time we looked up to catch the number plate of the @$$hole, he was already too far away.

us girls were pretty shaken up by the whole thing. and now we're scarred for life wtf. no more handbags for us. its the waistpouch now wtf. and the cargo pants with the crazy amount of pockets wtf.

to my female friends, if you're reading this, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

i typed eleanor rigby on google to search for the lyrics and was surprised to find that it was a beatles song.

the beatles officially the greatest ever!

“It was the first time we put an Asian on the cover, and it was a special Shanghai issue, so I think we sent a message,” says Carine Roitfeld, editor-in-chief of French Vogue. “I think it’s very fashionable to use Asian girls. They are a particular beauty. Their skin is amazing, and they are very delicate, and they are very graceful.” – The Wall Street Journal

now, isn't that orientalism? especially the part "they are very delicate, they are very graceful". strategic essentialism played out by the asian girl.

by the way, that is du juan, a model from shanghai.

look dr.A, i'm applying the theories outside of class!!! =D i feel so smart. education didn't go to waste.

this post does not aim to achieve anything other than allowing me to spew crap after memorizing definitions after definitions.

ahh..the joys of preparing for exams!

a message from God

i just finished reading the book

a message from God by Retha and Aldo Mc Pherson

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength
Phil. 4:13

end of s1

classes have officially ended!

semester one begone!

last marketing lecture *tear*

the last 13 weeks have been bittersweet. i have come to realize that taking 2 subjects from the same lecturer is SUICIDE. never again will i. which is why i am hesitating to take another one of his subject next semester *shudders*

because do i want to do all my core next semester or do i wanna take an elective? the decision making process (marketing processes!? omg i'm beginning to quote from my mkw +__+) begins once again. people have come to ask me time and again what i wanna do in the future.

I DON'T BLOODY KNOW.

if i knew the answer, i wouldn't be sitting here now, would i? i would be OUT there, doing whatever it is i'm supposed to be doing. i mean, it took me the whole of summer break to figure out what i wanted to major in. so please, if i knew what i wanted to do, wouldn't i be out there DOING IT, making the money roll in instead of rolling it out and stressing myself.

i miss high school. the workload then compared to now. PEANUTS! KACANG!
ok maybe not so when i WAS in high school. i know better now. i am wiser *strokes chin with one eyebrow up. wtf i can't do that without physically holding my eyebrow up. screw it*

so yeah, all core or one elective? le sigh.

plus, suddenly (ok maybe not suddenly, i knew about it but now it's official sorta) i am thrust into the deep end. the new semester is gonna be one helluva hectic one +__+

i can't wait for the BREAK! three GLORIOUS weeks!

and the sad thing is ALL of my shows have already ended its season. which means i have NOTHING to watch. NADA. ZILCH. TAK ADA APA-APA. MEI YOU.

le sigh.

but nevermind, i have a FUN trip to look forward to with my best friend of 3 years and the drama queen.

waahh..exams coming and i still have time to blog. i only studied for a few hours just now then i ordered domino's and watched tv like a true blue couch potato. *aahhh...how i missed you my dear dear TV*

i watched blood and chocolate and i realized that the word CHOCOLATE sounds very sexy and yummy! nyaha.

i LOVE david cook's version of eleanor rigby. it is damn damn DAMN GOOD =D
