the end of an era

2011-11-23T10:06:00.002+08:00

just had my last economics paper yesterday, marking the end of my A levels. fingers crossed for the best results, due for release next year. can't say this journey hasn't been an eye opening one...

what i've learnt from A Levels:
1) if your neighbour is making a ruckus, do NOT in any circumstance try to make him stop by making more noise yourself. you will not succeed in a court case out of malice. also, try talking to him first before bringing the case to court, but do not put up with it for 20 years.

2) with my new-found critical analytic skills learnt from literature, Beauty and the Beast may very well be a subtle portrayal of the Stockholm syndrome. and also probably beastiality. O.o

3) radical feminists get a field day running around passing everything off as patriarchal. therefore i am only a liberal feminist.

4) you are being discriminated every single day. PRICE discriminated.

but no, not everything i learnt was useless...in fact, a lot i learnt remains useful actually. but it's too sappy to post a perfunctory thank you, and conventional is far from what i aim to be. ;)

on another note...just found out that oxford has refused my application. oh woe is me. :/

Alas, time flies.

not to worry, i am NOT leaving my blog to just perish in abandonment and die. it's just that i've opted for other outlets like the ever-changing facebook and twitter and tumblr. so addictive sometimes.

finally got my pottermore invite and i'm a RAVENCLAW!

okay, i'm still not quite sure on how to use this new blogger interface, but i shall explore more after my finals.speaking of which, A2 finals are in less than 3 weeks, and everything has just been a blast of whirlwind lately. so many things to catch up one, yet we trouble ourselves more with familiar melancholy. we are all Hamlets in this era; but only if we cease having Faith and bother ourselves too much with social standings. i suppose that was one reason why i got into a mental headlock with sociology.

Law classes are so fun lately; they're one of the few things to relish each day, but alas - the course is coming to a close, and soon it will be time to bid farewell and part ways.months ago, during AS finals season, i felt as though i've been here for such a very long time. now i'm feeling as though everything went by in a blink of an eye.

actually had lunch with Ms Mar yesterday, which came as a bit of a surprise to me, though i was the one who suggested lunch together. we have gotten so used to each other's sarcasm, that i must remind myself that i am indeed conversing in the presence of a lecturer. part of the funnier happenings were:
Ms Mar: so how is it in a bar ah?
us: you've never been to the bar before???
her: eh hello, i was ADMITTED to the bar *proud shrug*

yeah, she's punny like that. in continuation with that jab;
me: whoa, ms, you're so high today - did you have too much to drink or something?
her: i. don't. drink.
me: oh but you were ADMITTED to the bar...
her: Malaysian bar - halal.

well yes, now that she's completed the whole syllabus, we've been spending more time on verbal repartee. along with jerlynn of course; whom she's constantly suspicious of, as well as wen yi whom she picks on for being blur. two outcomes: either we're turning into her, or she's turning into us.

a convert i shall be

Alas, how quickly times flies - a year ago, i was newly enrolled in college, trying to grasp the distinctively different style of english education, all the more in a different environment and pertaining to different subject matters. though half the battle is done with the release of our AS results, the tougher half now ensues.and i must only persevere.trials proved to be tricky, especially since i pulled the midnighters (gasp, that is something i have always been prejudiced against) and still i entered the exam halls unprepared. went home for a bit after my trials during the Raya break. nothing much that i did except hours and hours fixated on the telly screen. i've been completely hooked with period dramas as of late. and one does find them influential especially in the manner of speech.i should retire to bed now seeing as today has been thoroughly unproductive (the same could be said of my last two months here, unfortunately), and gear up for a fully-committed tomorrow. ta.

oh no

trials is starting on monday but im sick today. not done studying either. brain been frizting about nonsense past few days. must not let my AS go to waste.

pixie dust is optional

2011-08-11T22:36:00.002+08:00

"faith and trust"

when in doubt, refer.

results for my AS exams last May came out today, and it was a nice surprise and comfort to see how efforts pay off. of course, complacency has no place here, especially during such a crucial moment as of now - approaching A2 trials in a week's time.

Hallelujah.

The speaker crackled to life as the name of the station was announced. People went in all directions as they streamed out, and some were fighting against the throng to get in.
It was noon, and the weather was inevidently scorching. The air inside the train was uncomfortably stuffy; either the air-conditioning had broken down or there were too many people in the train for the cooler to accomodate.
Standing in the midst of many others rushing to get home, she shifted her weight between her legs and tried to ease the strain on her shoulders as her backpack straps cut into them. With one hand hanging next to her waist, while the other held on to the sling of her other bag, she dared not hold the plastic handle contraptions hanging from the ceiling of the train; she was paranoid like that.
Already feeling nauseous, she tried to pry of the discomfort reeking in her mind an focused instead on getting to her destination.

I've been leaving my blog to die off, slowly, but i can't help it.

TUMBLR IS TOO ADDICTIVE.

And plus, every little thing i wanna say is already cemented either in facebook or twitter.

But i'll never let this die! I think.

so Melody had some cheap tickets for the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra today, courtesy of her mother, and i decided somewhere months ago that i'd give chamber music a try. the theme was Summer Beach Party, and besides a conductor, they had a presenter too. the concert was one designed for youths and schools, probably to inculcate love for classical music among teens.

first in the set list was the Carnival Overture by Dvorak. that i enjoyed quite well. the different sections blended together quite well, and i was prepared for more. then came on Mr. Malloy, our presenter for the afternoon, whom i was told by Melody to be very good. he came into the spotlight in a colourful Hawaiian top, bermuda shorts, and rubber slippers, appropriate for the theme. he was indeed very interactive and upbeat - the crowd went wild with cheers and claps.

i was probably the only one with eyes narrowing more and more with the presentation of each act.

the orchestra to me should be strictly limited to classical music and maybe musical scores. this was, however, an infusion of traditional Spanish music with pop beats provided by the bass guitar and drums. crestfallen as i was, the audience around me was very supportive, tossing beach balls (?!) that were catapulted by some random orchestra member into the crowd.

alas, every experience is a new lesson earned, and i am now fully aware to accept only orchestral advances that are definitely fixed within the scope of music existent no later than the 20th century (except scores by the likes of andrew lloyd webber and john williams, etc)

every moment has led to this...

"We've read all seven books, seen all the released films, wrote ourselves into their adventures via fanfic. We've saved money for the theme park, reblogged movie stills and our own graphics a million times on Tumblr and liked every HP related Facebook status. We've collected memorabilia and built friendships based on a mutual love for the series.

We are the Harry Potter generation and we've had over a decade to prepare for this. Yet not one of us is ready." - dearvincentprice, YouTube.

alright, i know what you're thinking - what is this tosh, or: not another emo post? (i must point out that i don't generally do emo posts anyway!) but no; this is something i picked up from the Green Lantern movie, which inevitably struck a chord with me.

judging from my previous posts, you'd by now establish (well, you SHOULD, at least) that i'm a huge, colossal Smallville fan. yes, i am still a fan of our famous superhero boy scout, but i've just realised that i've never actually much thinking into it. i've always liked superman because of

smallville, and it's high school arc is actually quite compelling, especially to a student like me. i've just never exactly admired the guy, if you know what i'm saying.

prior to discovering the green lantern's origins, i've never discovered the one true superhero to come swooping in to save the day as well. they've all just been highly interesting charades of colours and muscles, with an air of extraordinaire.

well, let's have a little play-by-play analysis of some famous superheroes to prove my point shall we?

Exhibit A: Superman

so, the very own man of steel was raised from a humble small town, yearning to be "normal" while fulfilling his destiny that has already been decided beforehand. this struggle is a classic example against over-expecting parents, however selfless and noble his aims are. also, his bumbling exterior probably goes to reinforce the phrase: never judge a book by its cover. NEXT!

Exhibit B: Batman

the much more macho and handsome overgrown bat compared to severus snape here has had a stab at Death once, during his close encounter with bats (at least that's what i've gathered from an old movie adaptation). with much gusto in his new life, he sets out to pimp himself with nifty little gadgets only a multi-billionaire could possibly afford. seeing as i've never experienced both scenarios, i'd say i'm pretty much detached from this fellow gotham city saviour. the same goes for:

Exhibit C: Ironman

but this advanced tinman i rather like. he's got the swagger of a businessman with the heart of a...Byronic man (?). also similar is:

Exhibit D: Green Arrow

okay, i only like our green modern-day robin hood when he's played by justin hartley. don't judge.

Exhibit E: Spiderman

our friendly neighbour spiderman is definitely a pure underdog story - picked on at school, nerdy, geeky, etc...until he was bitten by a spider. everyone is then pitted against him as his innocence dies. pretty interesting, but still...nothing to ring the bell there.

Exhibit F: Green Lantern

now this...is something different. hal jordan lives in ignorance of fear and tries filling in the shoes his father left him. being slightly reckless, he lives life on the fast lane, probably to hide that teeny tiny insecurity of his. he is claimed by the Ring, and must now learn to curb fear with is the only poison to will power. determination is all it takes, and this is such a valuable lesson - have the courage to overcome fear and make way for will.

2011-06-10T21:08:00.002+08:00

as July 15th looms closer and closer, i can't decide if i should feel happy or sad that harry potter is being wrapped up. no more installments of the series to appear again, after this final bit is released. while there's always fanfiction to resort to, nothing comes close to the authentic JK Rowlling experience.

alas, Harry Potter, the friend i never had...

"to the untrained mind, death is but the next great adventure"

PS: pardon me if i got that quote wrong. i've come across a plentiful of memorable quotes while re-reading the first and last book, but not all of them stayed in my mind.

and that, is the story of my childhood. :')

glory days (or lack thereof)

2011-05-29T00:14:00.002+08:00

was looking back at my old posts and although it's not like i drone and rant about pent-up fatalistic dying emotions and what not, i still feel as though they're a wee bit embarrassing. but i guess that's a good thing, since it represents my progression in maturity.

MUAHAHAHAHHA.

went to the KLCC art gallery just now. the artworks were too modern for my taste. i'd stick to the traditional non-abstract art. pirates of the Caribbean was pretty good though, although it took off with a slow start, and 2.5 hours seems a tad too long. thor is not showing in cinemas anymore. :(

PS: at the art gallery, there was this concept whereby they hung strips of plastic from the ceiling, like curtains. there were rows and rows of these, and i just walked, unfortunately deciding to add in some vigour to my steps halfway through walking. didn't know there was a wall. seriously. toe hurts alright.

kinokuniya!

2011-05-28T08:54:00.002+08:00

w00ts, heading off to KLCC later to bask in kino's pulpy glory. yeah, that's basically the only thing i do at malls. go to bookstores. :P

just call me bookworm, for i'm born this way!

i absolutely take pride in being a kiasu nerd, as well as a so-called "banana".

why not?

PS: hmmm...should i buy the hunger games? i want to, but stephanie meyer actually reviewed it, and she kinda ruin things. :/

celebrated last night by watching a walk to remember. no clubs; no drinking. with the exception of milk, that is. anyway, gotta go now. jerlynn is picking us up today! :D

a day of all sorts

2011-05-28T00:58:00.002+08:00

just finished off my AS final examinations this afternoon and celebrated by hitting sunway pyramid (no surprise there). had karaoke session for the first time in KL and with people who actually listen to chinese songs. lol, it was quite funny since i don't understand mandarin, nor do some of my classmates listen to the mainstream english songs. but it was overall fun time.
went to arcade after dinner, and beat Foo at daytona racing four times in a row. HAHA.

realised that generally, guys just like to point out that "they've been beaten by a girl"at gaming, sports, etc. even in this so-called post-modern era, females are still thought to be better suited to certain activities, and it is - as pointed out by andrea - rather refreshing when guys exclaim: omg, never thought a girl can beat me!"

girl power. don't underestimate it.

been ranting on and on about how tired i've been during the exam period, but now, i just don't feel like succumbing to sleep. going home finally this sunday, and boy, is my holiday agenda lengthy. there's firstly A2 to catch up with, books to read, movies to watch, friends to meet, food to eat, sleep to replenish, games to play, and on and on - the list is quite endless.

sigh. time flies when you're having fun.

a different time; a different perspective

2011-05-20T22:24:00.002+08:00

so i'm done with the first two weeks of my AS finals, and there's one more week left before i pack up and leave for home. the papers i've had were okay so far, with the exclusion of economics 2, which was completely incomprehensible. but alas, no point looking backwards, pondering on what could have been or what i could have done, especially since i've got one more week comprising of 3 more papers to go.

i mustn't be complacent with my performance so far, so i shall pry myself off my bed and laptop and finally get to work. it's already 10.30pm, so i really should at least get something done for the day. ~~although i'm starting to feel tired.~~

Anniversary

2011-05-11T09:56:00.001+08:00

Time flies by so quickly! This month is my blog's 6th year in the running, all the way back since form 1! Maybe i'll give it a fresh new template, but that'll have to wait until my finals are over.

My first paper was yesterday, and fingers crossed so that everything goes well...

Feeling oh so very tired these days...there's not a moment when i'll not nod off to sleep trying to finish a single chapter. :/

Never ignore that intuition ringing in your head.

2011-04-12T19:11:00.001+08:00

Lesson learnt today: when something feels wrong - bail.
Got my copy of past year papers for law at ichiban today, at a student-worthy price of RM28. They didnt have literature, so i went to mac center. They didnt have ready-made copies, so the guy got the printer ready. Initially i only wanted to check for prices and browse if i really do need it. Furthermore, i didnt have enough cash on me.
As i was walking home to get more money, i had a thoroughly disconcerting feeling weighing my thoughts down. But alas, i ignored it and paid for my items like an automaton. Upon receiving them, i flipped through and found out that 90% of what i've paid for will not even be used. RM33.50 was no small sum, so i wanted to have them exchanged for another subject, but the shopkeeper pointed to a sign saying "goods sold are not returnable or exchangable".
I know that there are perhaps a multitude of options available to attack the legality of that sign, but i just let it die upon my own mistake.
And there goes 3 days' worth of meals.

Which also brings me to another issue: i realised how when you ask for something in shops here, the shopkeeper immediately assumes you want to buy it, although you may just be inquiring for prices. Then they start poking at their cash registers, half-bullying you into buying their goods, and when you tell them that you're just asking for information, they glare at you like you've just conspired against their business or something like that.

day out after trials

2011-04-07T15:55:00.002+08:00

went out after my last trial paper yesterday with some friends. we headed over to sunway pyramid and had lunch at manhattan's fish market (fish and chips for only RM6.99!) first before our string of activities.
first we went for bowling, and dudeeeeeeeeeeee - my bowling skills is literally down the drain (bowling drain, that is). i'd forgotten everything andrea taught me the last time we bowled, and i finished second to the last, so i won't bother elaborating on that. hehe.
went ice-skating after that, which was my second time on the rink. it was an overall better experience for my pride (haha) than bowling, although i did fall down twice. as a result, i'm now nursing about 3 huge bruises in an ugly shade of grey and green.
then, we headed over to the archery, and this time, i did not once miss the target board. a big YAY considering the fact that many years ago, i had only one hit while playing with francoise. hehe.

notice that my level of english proficiency in this post is no longer of any admirable standard? haihz. even during my trials, i had to stop to fish for the write words to describe something. unproductive much. it's just too ironic that all my subjects are reading subjects with big fancy words, but i actually feel that my english is deteriorating. geez.
funniest thing was when i was singing rebecca black's friday just now, i just kept swearing by accident while singing this particular line: which seat should i take? i kept pronouncing it as "which SHEAT should i take". zzzzz

Zuhzuhzuh

2011-04-01T12:23:00.001+08:00

Trials are a tad bit trickier than semester one. :( guess that's why i'm staying back over the holidays instead of going home. Mountains of stuff to do for preparation. Best not waste it with incessant outings nor facebooking nor ipod-ing.
But oh yes, i will have some fun along the way - after all i've just gotten my justin bieber concert ticket! :)

like geez, i'm just listless out of my wits. can't really put my finger on what i actually want to do. it's not sleeping (okay maybe just sometimes), it's not outing, neither is it eating, and facebook gets boring. can i just go to some top floor and scream my lungs out? :/

harry potter is probably the only cure. appointment with it right after trials.

studying vs learning

2011-03-08T20:17:00.003+08:00

i catch myself saying, "no time la; need to study" rather a lot these days, especially since enrolling into taylor's CAL programme. but then i ponder: you seriously think you have no time? then why the numerous facebook sesssions? how the sudden chat sessions while studying? what about those moments spent on tumblr, fanficts, and blogging (haha the last one) ?

and now i think to myself: time management (the lack thereof, to be exact).

university representatives always stress that they do not want students who spend 24/7 in the library - this i agree. and then i further wonder: what else have i been doing except portraying myself as an 18 year old nerd who locks herself up at home studying? hmmm.

the interesting part is that my economics lecturer still exclaims her surprise everytime i let loose a big loud hearty laugh, or something un-nerdy of that sort. friends too, express their surprise upon knowing that i play computer games.

back in secondary school, we were all involved in a bunch of different activities, and i think i can consider ourselves as pretty all-rounded. but all of a sudden the status quo becomes unclear - or rather, quite the opposite. the fine lines dividing work from play seems to falter.

university life really isn't all about studying...neither is it about being active in a handful of ECA...but rather it's one of those cringe-worthy progression through life, similar to that upon transitioning to secondary school years ago. most things may be in disequilibrium now, but sooner or later, the physics of life will set in and everything will be normal again.

"studying - i hate studying. learning - now, that's beautiful" - natalie portman.

i told you so

2011-03-06T17:01:00.002+08:00

was looking up some literature dramatisations, and you know one thing follows after another! found some new movies bound this year. additions to the previous post. see, i told you; good movies have the knack of being shown during exam seasons.

1.country strong
2. last night
3. no strings attached
4. justin bieber 3D (lol)
5. the tempest
6. the eagle

probably a lot more. :/

The never ending cycle of movies.

2011-02-26T22:21:00.001+08:00

Good movies always have the knack of rolling onto silver screens in years with major examinations. Or maybe I'm just more conscious about it when I'm going to have exams. But anyhow, there are already some movies to be watched on my list:

1. Harry potter (duh)
2. Beastly
3. I am number four
4. Green lantern
5. Thor
6. Red riding hood (cheesy, I know)
7. Jane eyre
8. Transformers
9. Breaking dawn (teehee)
10. Captain America

And really, a lot more I can't think of right now.

second semester in A levels is truly like a moment of transition, where there is nothing but dilemmas. classes are now covering the A2 syllabus, while our exams this may is on the AS syllabus. there is a complete conflict of interest as i try to decide on whether to revise my AS or read up A2 so i don't get left behind in the near future. the very near future, to be precise.

i think i've pretty much wasted a lot of time TRYING to decide what to do instead of doing it. :/

seriously need to get myself pumped and work on my trials which is in a month. A MONTH.

A MONTH!!!

KLPAC take two

2011-02-18T11:44:00.002+08:00

so last sunday i went to KLPAC again, but this time via KTM. i was there to catch romeo and juliet, which i thought was a play at first. later on, i found out from melody that it was actually a screening of the movie. nevertheless, i decided to go anyway, because of the magic words: FREE admission. teehee.
kim tagged along, and we were both crossing our fingers, hoping that it wouldn't be the leonardo dicarprio version, thinking it would only be ironic to travel all the way to sentul just to watch something that has been on re-runs on HBO.
the ktm journey was of course, long as usual. to top it off, the weather was simply scorching. anyhow, we were given a little presentation about the play before the movie came on. thank goodness it wasn't the leonardo version. it was a way better version, with a zac efron look alike playing romeo. no kidding, he completely looks like zac, except the eyes - ed westwick eyes.

it was quite suprising to find out that they had that metrosexual look going on during the 60s already. haha. juliet was quite a looker as well.

have a look.

Jennifer Conn used Snape's and Quidditch coach Madam Hooch's teaching methods as examples of what to avoid and what to emulate in clinical teaching,[117] and Joyce Fields wrote that the books illustrate four of the five main topics in a typical first-year sociology class: "sociological concepts including culture, society, and socialisation; stratification and social inequality; social institutions; and social theory"

fingers crossed that this will come upon useful.

2011-01-21T19:14:00.003+08:00

so ying ling and sin hui came by last sunday (the same afternoon both my new housemate and roommate moved in - chaotic) and 6 days passed within a blink of an eye. although i still had classes, i had two days off, and that just spells Revival of the Best of 218Z.

on sunday, we all went to chili's at empire to celebrate kim's birthday. amanda and i went home earlier by cab as we had classes early the next morning. YL and SH lagged behind to have a little taste of shopping first. when they came back to apartment, it was DSLR crazy (i love the retro and toy camera effect, although i'm sure SH LOVES FISHEYE MORE!).

come monday, we planned to karaoke at sunway, but RedBox were very strict and did not allow expired student IDs (although how were they supposed to have new IDs when both their terms haven't started, i fathom not). so SH made us both watch paranormal activity 2.

now, i'm going to launch into a full-blast bashing of how PA2 was a waste of RM12, so it you thought it was good, skip this:

SH heard from her friends that it was a great movie, so despite my rebuttal and suggestions to watch season of the witch instead, she convinced us both to watch it with her. so, fine then, we bought tickets, tried to bring in ireland potatoes and were not granted permission the first time around, went in again and succeeded. but anyhow, the movie started off with a video recording. two proud parents just welcomed a newborn son, they're happy, he looks like his mum, blablabla. then the recording just went on and on and on and on. then we finally realised: WUHT THE WHOLE MOVIE IS FROM A VIDEO CAMERA???!!! the "video" stretched on for nights and days, and still, paranormal activity could not be seen. at this point, we started giving SH our utmost thanks and appreciation (and Operation Making SH Feel Guilty succeeded). seriously, the movie harped on for about an hour with speculation and no action, and it was a total non-scary bore. even when the plot climbed to it's climax, you can't see the ghost or whatever.

so then it was tuesday, and i stayed home while they went shopping (again) because i had quite a stomachache and some homework to do. by night, we lounged around again, but this time with my new hosuemate - Brenda - in the master bedroom. Brenda and i had a little guitar jamming session too. oh, and they simply had a fun time at the expense of my lack of knowledge in the chinese language. ~~fei chao chi not equals camera.~~

by wednesday, i went to school as usual, and visited the clinic with felicia. the doctor was hilarious and she shouldn't really be making me laugh so hard when i had stomachache already, and with a thermometer in my mouth. after class, i had SNOWFLAKESSSSSSS OMNOMNOMNOM, but SH was still busy trying to sell her books, so she didn't get to have some. YL went out to her class dinner, so SH and i were left to humour ourselves with what we had in hand - to watch the notebook. watching a romantic drama with SH is the funniest thing ever.

thursday was again a holiday, so we went out to KL town area where we met francoise for a bit. we then went to times square, but i spent most my time there at borders leeching off magazines i couldn't afford. :/ afterwards, we went to sunway, met my dad and had sushi. i am mighty proud at myself for not being tempted to buy grocery and more food. :D

friday is today, and they just left for johor this afternoon. brenda is back in malacca, and my new roommate is out (well so am i because i'm typing this from the school computer). the house is quiet once again.

i absolutely love that video i posted up here recently, and i'm so into it that i've downloaded it onto my iPod. it's like, totally, the BEST fan video EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

it deserves a gazillion views.

went to the lakeside yesterday and got so absorbed in this book i found in the library.it was absolutely lovely, one of the best things i've seen. EVER. right next to harry potter, of course. it's called...

THE ICE-CREAM BOOK.

2011-01-13T13:25:00.000+08:00

sound asleep as I was, the sound of crumpling plastic awoke me. I suppose it had been incessant, else I would not have been jolted up just because of it.

the air was no longer cold, as the air conditioner timer had went off - it was somewhere past 4.30 in the morning. the night skies were still dark from the inside of my dimly lit room.

I sat up on my bed and turned around to inspect the source of the noise - I had thought it was one of my posters drooping from the wall, but no, each corner remained intact to the wall.

I glanced around the room, casting for answers - yet, none could be found. I thought perhaps, I had accidentally ruffled the plastic bag hanging on my bed post, and with a defeated feeling, I decided to surrender to sleep.

just as I was lying down again, I heard it once more. I came up , sitting on my bed, throwing furtive looks at the wall behind me - something was not right. something brown the size of my thumb was lurking in a plastic paper holder hung by my previous roommate on the wall. suspicions welled inside of me, and I scrambled for my spectacles immediately. in the midst of all this, the sound of rubbing plastic rang out distinctively in the quiet night at random intervals.

as my vision came back to focus, my guess was indeed confirmed. a cockroach has invaded my non-fulfilling fortress of solitude, and it was right there for the killing.

I quickly got to my feet and advanced with caution, quietly reaching for anything below that might jeopardize my catch. after relocating my water jug, my hands motioned towards the edges of the plastic paper holder. it was a makeshift one by recycling a foolscap paper package, and the flap still remained at the edge.

with adrenaline rushing through my veins, I suddenly became fully alert, and brought the flap down, trapping the hunt within the four corners of the flimsy plastic package. it attempted to scuttle free, but I had my revenge. I rolled the plastic to rid it of empty spaces the best I could and took another plastic bag to deposit it into for safety measures. I repeated this once more out of mid-dawn nerves.

I took the dreaded package out and scoped around my room for signs of any other creatures of destruction, but it was useless at a time like this. I therefore contemplated my return to the ever-transitory dreamland, with the utmost effort to quash my worries until morning rose.

this is NOT a hate post.

2011-01-11T20:10:00.005+08:00

this is just to voice out my bewilderment.

on why harry and ginny got together in the end.

i've never thought it'd be them, and i don't mean for harry to live and die forever alone. but i sense no chemistry (just physics) between the two, from book one until deathly hallows. heck, even until epilogue! i actually thought that harry would end up with luna eventually (this is the point where harry/luna shippers feel betrayed, ala us zutarians), but no, i'm no hardcore harry/luna fan. i suppose one of J.K. Rowling's reason for doing so was to bring up the conflict regarding Ron. at this point, we see how Ron plays his part as an older brother, being instinctively protective. and also, by doing so, Rowling united her three main heroes, so that they can indeed live happily ever after together.

which brings me to assume further, that she's trying to get across the message of everlasting friendship, but at times, i just pity Ron. think about it, if he falls out with Harry, Ginny would probably turn against him. and if things doesn't work out with Hermione, he'd be

just a little to ponder on.

and all the same, upon further analysis, it seems as if Harry Potter is a rather idealistic story. the heroes win, canon-to-be-couples get together, and people only change for the better.

this somehow belittles the epic work of Rowling, doesn't it?

therefore, i shall STOP.

literature analysis skills (or lack thereof) ruin light reading. D:

SO BEAUTIFUL.

2011-01-11T19:37:00.001+08:00

this is the closest thing to a romantic drama in the world of Harry Potter. enjoy. :')

smallville season 9 marathon

2010-12-18T20:52:00.002+08:00

so i've just finished the whole of season 9, and my conclusion is: everyone has a secret agenda; don't trust anyone. *shifty eyes*

the producers have begun to create every other character except clark himself, and lois as oh so very complicated characters.

1. chloe now has odd ideas about being protective - she looks through oliver's very email!
2. oliver, being oliver is...still the sacrifice-one-for-the-greater-good kind of dude.
3. Zod is... well, for him, it's totally expected.
4. martha kent as the red queen???!!!
5. tess mercer - don't EVEN let me start on her.

baddies are way too kinky, i think. one moment, they're bashing one another up with the utmost level of hatred any being can possibly contain, and the next, they're like... making out.

making out.

it's totally crooked i'd say. and tess - her excuse of being a hypocritical betrayer goes out to "saving the earth from itself" thingy-majiggy. i mean, C'MON. you wanna save the earth? join PETA and do an anti-fur ad, not JOIN FORCES WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS.

total dots moment, i'd say.

the day i left jailbreak heaven for iOS 4.0

2010-12-15T16:52:00.002+08:00

which i regret. i should never have allowed the temptation of new apps, folder options, iBooks, bug fixes, and apparently faster performance dwindle my faith in my previous 3.1.2.

i have been experimenting on my new OS 4.0, which i had successfully downgraded to without my SHSH blobs (which was followed by a cry of hallelujah), only to find out that my success was short-lived as my springboard started crashing incessantly, forcing me to re-think my restore and jailbreaking options.

this is such a pain. i can't even restore from my backup, but manually check the apps i want installed again.

i think i've finally found the thorn to this evil: the volume button extender.

NOOOOO. if it really was caused by the volume button extender:
1. i need not have wasted so much time restoring and reinstalling apps.
2. i could have just removed that single package from cydia
3. SOBS HOW CAN I CONTROL IPOD PLAYBACK WITHOUT RISKING GOING TO THE MUSIC OPTIONS POP-OUT?

goodbye days when i could just stop and play music without looking at my ipod screen.

voyage of the dawn treader

2010-12-12T20:45:00.002+08:00

my first day here and i've already been to spring. talk about kuching malls. haha.

anyway, so i caught Narnia and rapunzel today. rapunze theyl was suprisingly funny and non-cheesy. narnia on the other hand...let's say it fell short.

it's so dark and edgy now that it reminds me of clash of the titans. plus, it didnt have this cinematography feel to it. felt as if they filmed it homemade style. nothing beats the first one, i'd say.

feel like watching harry potter again. XD

lumbering on

2010-12-04T20:03:00.002+08:00

alright, i've been through thinking skills, and i tembak at least 5 questions. sigh. hope i'll fare well in econs and lit, at least. and every other subject.

why oh why must arts A levels be so different compared to science SPM?

bought my favourite cheese, stringers, only to find that it's a little expired, with traces of moulds at the end. but it's not even past the date yet. sigh. had to throw it out in the end.

anticipating friday. the last day, with law and literature. i dont even know how to start literature. okay, maybe i'll go through king henry. and sujata's bhatt. and every other thing.

need to finish up civil cases and econs tonight. i MUST. with that, adieus.

sin hui: the mugger turned rokker

2010-11-29T19:18:00.002+08:00

the blog post you've been waiting for...

requested by demand...

a critically acclaimed piece...

okay, maybe just by sin hui. if you look into my chatbox on the left, you'd see all her requests for this blog post, specially dedicated to her. haha.

so who is this sin hui, you ask?

her real name is of course; TEEFFANY, derived from Tiffany and Teeth. being a total mugger and wannabe rokker (HAHA) she... i dunno what she does actually, to achieve those status.

so anyway, i'll post photos next time, so the whole world can be exposed to her prettiness okay. in the meantime, you might want to get another screen/monitor ready. just in case. XD

467

2010-11-21T19:15:00.002+08:00

so that's the number of posts i've had already. i've kept this blog for quite long i suppose, since may 2005; that was more than 5 years ago.

anyhow, SPM has started for the '10 batch of students, and it's actually a tad hard to believe that a year has passed. a year of whirlwind, a year of sudden anticipation, and a year full of carefree-ness. if there was such neologistic a phrase.

so what now? time to pack up all those past records - whether success or failure - and look into the future. as i quote:

"Let not your train of thought derail off the track of time."

it's only less than 2 weeks to my semester exam, and boy, do i see my stack of mountainous things to do. everyone's gone away now, so there's only one option: NEED TO STUDY.

part 1 of epicness

2010-11-19T10:29:00.002+08:00

so i went over to TGV at sunway pyramid yesterday to catch the first part of the latest installment of harry potter. at 2 and a half hours long, i thought by the end of the movie: I CAN SO TOTALLY WATCH THIS 5 HOURS STRAIGHT. if people did it with titanic, why not this?

my reviews?

this movie is exceptionally faithful to the book (like the first two). they cut out things that were unnecessary and had everything important in it. however, one thing i found done a little too much is the use of fade to blacks. the first scene fades to black. then the next too. and the next. and so on. the actors' acting was very raw this time around though. you can see Grint being all fired up, watson crying and all...
one thing definitely different is that you can actually see the progression of characters this time. there are more sensual scenes (and i find that ginny-zip-my-dress scene a tad too kinky, and how many times to we have to have the misfortune to look at harry undressing?!) and i suppose the producers are more daring this time around to show deaths, and a significant amount of blood. another thing i found cringe worthy was that the director had all the baddies put their faces SO VERY close to those they are taunting. even voldemort 's nose (or lack thereof) was just an inch away from dumbledore's dead body in his tomb. creepy much.

it's only two more weeks to semester one. time to buck up for real. D:

PS: i saw a trailer for red riding hood and owhmaigawrsh. they made little red riding hood fall in love with a woodcutter or something. from the director of twilight. explains much.

i'm a convert

2010-11-04T00:22:00.003+08:00

alright, i know i'm supposed to be sleeping by now, but i can't just wait to post this up: i'm all into classics at the moment! Charlotte Bronte has made me so. as usual, i was poking around the net, and i found myself some quite swoon-worthy adaptations of Shakespeare's plays and so forth. just as a reminder to myself, this is the list:

1. the importance of being earnest (2002)

2. Twelfth Night: Or What You Will (1996)

3. Much ado about nothing (1993)

4. A midsummer's night dream (1999)

that's it at the moment. i know you're not supposed to just watch, but read it; however, this is just absolutely too spiffing to pass off.

forget MTV's version of much ado about nothing and romeo+juliet. its time to get back to the basics. (embracing the postmodernists' school of thought. ;))

Speak Now.

2010-10-29T10:16:00.002+08:00

i've just gotten my hands on Taylor Swift's new album a few days ago, and it's been a great listen so far! I prefer this to her previous album - this is a lot grittier and acoustic. but the one thing that's same old are her lyrics. each and everyone of the songs are dedicated to her past relationships, which got me thinking: did she take this long to come up with this album to "collect" her flings? anyone forbid her not to get into a relationship, else she'll have no album.

but seriously, the guitar-heavy songs are worth listening. ;)
tracks i reckon: Dear John, Never Grow Up, Enchanted, Haunted, Long Live and Last Kiss.

on another note, i wanted to address one issue that has been playing on my mind: complacency as merely transitory. it's a shame that contentment does not get us far; but the lack thereof holds us back even more than the former. the opportunity cost of taking sociology is at the disposal of maths, and i shall just bear with it, i suppose. i will need to broaden this mind of mine to social issues i'm usually ignorant of. =.="

exams are really just around the corner, and the fact that i haven't sat for any (unless you count LAN finals) major exams does not help.

PFFT. I NEED to start sitting down, focus and study. D;

PS: i quite like my new style of writing (as you can observe from previous posts; has always been ever-changing) which is greatly influenced by Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte.

oh, speaking of Jane Eyre, this book is quite to my liking:
Headstrong feministic main female character - check.
independency from men (VERY unlike that of Bella Swan) - check
thirst for education - check
mild romance (which i usually interpret as cheesy or corny and burst into a fit of giggle) - check.

gosh, i suppose i spoil romance! a passage which is to illustrate Rochester's undying love for Jane is greeted by me by peals of laughter.
eg: (after proposing to jane, rochester wants jane to call him by his name - edward)
Mr. R: Edward - my sweet Jane!
Jane: Dear Edward!

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

Hybrids.

2010-10-24T02:34:00.002+08:00

for the past few months, i've had many "HA"s, and "ER"s while talking to Sin Hui and Ying Ling (Johorians in another sense), unable to comprehend their unfamiliar lingo, such as "mug" (which to my knowledge means steal!) and "ex" (former boyfriend/girlfriend; not).

BUT NOW!

i've found the solution!

www.talkingcock.com <--- a Singlish dictionary!

knowing JB is just a bridge away from Singapore, these two have HYBRID LINGO.

MUG/MUGGER/CHAO MUGGER/MUGGER TOAD (Contributed by Sherise Tan)
To "mug" in Singapore is to study by rote. A mugger is thus a hardworking student who memorises notes and regurgitates them during exams: the very essence of a typical kiasu student. Often prefixed with the word "chao" (smelly) in front of it for emphasis.
1. "He everytime go library until it close. Damn mugger, siah!"
2. " If I don't chao mug now, then later exam sure can die, one!"

EX
Although sometimes used to describe one's former girl-friend/boyfriend/whatever, in current Singlish, 'ex' is more often a short form of 'expensive', and used to express incredulity, or in some cases, envy.
1. Wah lau, original DVDs a bit the ex one, man, better go JB and buy.
2. Julie very high-class one you don't know meh? She always dress very ex.

Oh, and Apu Neh Neh.
APU NEH NEH (Contributed by lanmao)
Childish and racist term for an Indian man.
(To a child): " Don't go out by yourself , skarly the Apu neh-neh catch you then you know!"

PAIN
In true Singlish economy, "painful"
"Ow! Why you step on my foot? Damn pain, you know!"

TAKE YOU GO MARKET AND SELL
The classic Singapore threat to children. Works like a charm every time.
"If you don'ch stop making noise, ah, I tomorrow take you go market and sell!"

GO FLY KITE (Contributed by Daniel)
Derived from the English admonition "go fly a kite!" which means "piss off", "fuck off", "buzz off", etc, depending on your level of profanity-tolerance. Of course, we economical Singaporeans have removed the extraneous indefinite article.
"He know I so busy, still ask me to do things. Ask him go fly kite, lah!"

Running on

2010-10-11T20:32:00.001+08:00

How is it possible that within four months into my A levels, I'm piling up on revision? I'm more busy than I've ever been in one semester back at segi. Makes me wonder how students in segi actually pass, considering I've only been able to get B or A- grades so far, even with all the work and tests.

Literature is quite fun; we get to discuss and dissect jane eyre, which I think is a relevant sort of romance novel. No such thing as men's chivalry. But, I should really try to put it aside for a moment as my sociology needs more catching up.

So then I'll leave now, going off to do some catching up. Duncan highly advises this, as well as Lip Yi. Ah wells.

iShuffle

2010-09-16T23:24:00.002+08:00

ahoy there. i just realised i haven't penned down much about the funny things happening in life. rather, i've confined my blog to...well...pretty much...

CRAP.

except maybe that thesis statement on jacob-imprinting-a-baby. that was mind blowing.

so. another new start, shall we?

got a new, free iPod shuffle through the mail today! okay, actually the courier. so yeah. it's so minimalistic that it's got no buttons on it! except the power switch. all controls are lodged onto the earphones. i'm thinking of taking it for a ride when i get back to the apartment. (when i say ride, i meant jog. the clip looks savvy!)

my study table is currently in a mess, despite me only being home a few days short of two weeks! anyhow, i shall see to the more pressing matters at hand:
1. that thinking skills research paper with very vague instructions.
2. studying! we'll be having tests for ALL the subjects when we get back. the thing is...i've only done so little! gasp galore.
3. getting ready to pack again...
4. finish watching all the movies at home.

there simply isn't enough time! and i'm supposed to be on HOLIDAY.

cool mashup. XD

Research Paper: Why Jacob Black Finally Imprinted on Renesmee Cullen.

Topic: The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer
Written by: Maxine Ch'ng and Abigail Dayang.

WARNINGS: Biology subject and Twilight Saga books pre-requisite apply. May be unsuitable for minors.

It is now not unusual to hear of Twilight-relationship fans (also known as shippers) condemning the union of Jacob Black with Renesmee Cullen, when before imprinting on her, Black was famously known for verbally and non-verbally professing his love for Bella Swan; mother of Renesmee.

"I'm gonna fight for you until your heart stops beating"

Those were the words of Black, who simply could not deal with the sheer fact that his proclamation of love was through and through: a one sided emotion as Swan is - in her own words - unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Edward Cullen. Why would a man (albeit a werewolf) be so attached to a woman, only to fall in love with the said woman's daughter right after birth? Now, we shall unravel the many possibilities to this matter.
First and foremost, the main theory to support this complicated love triangle can be found within the study of Biology. It is common knowledge that it takes an ovum from a female and a sperm from a make to produce an offspring. Now, highlighting into this matter, Black was probably in love with Bella's ovum, and not her as a person. He must have mistaken his unexplained attachment towards Bella as love, and it was only when he saw baby Renesmee for the first time that this emotion could be pin-pointed.

So far, we have established only this fact, but there are many others to ponder upon:
1. Why didn't then, Black felt this emotion of "love" towards Edward Cullen considering he was the carrier of the other chromosomal pair in Renesmee ?
2. How was it even possible for Cullen to have impregnated Swan if he had no BLOOD?
3. Wouldn't Renesmee be a werewolf then, if humans have a chromosomal number of 23, while vampires 25, and werewolves 24? It is only simple Mathematics that 23 + 25 = 48, hence 48 divided by two is 24.

Queens.

2010-09-10T21:08:00.002+08:00

why a Queen sized bed is better than a single bed:
1. you have space to toss and turn
2. it can accomodate up to 2 people without any falling off the edges
3. you can spread yourself as much a you want
4. when you line your comforter to one side of the bed, you'll still have space.
5. you can totally laze around when you have nothing to do
6. you even have space for other items which you cant tend to immediately.

okay, kicking in my second week of holidays, so i better get some productive revision done.

sunway is the new spring

2010-08-27T09:32:00.000+08:00

sunway, being the nearest shopping mall to SS15, has become the new Spring mall for us Kuchingites. it's just like old times, i'd say...

nothing to do?
go to sunway.

wanna watch a movie?
go to sunway.

wanna buy grocery?
go to sunway.

just wanna hang out?
go to sunway.

shopping?
go to sunway.

let's hope i'll be able to map out all the shops available at sunway mentally by the end of this year. haha.

i want to watch the last airbender, even though i know that a lot of people has been criticising it...i mean hey, i need to compare how much of an abomination it is to the animated series, don't i?

the twelfth hour

2010-08-15T00:35:00.004+08:00

the air reeks -
of cold night air willowing past the trees;
of laughter echoing across the waters;
of unanswered questions lost between nothingness.

questions never answered -
perhaps now;
perhaps then;
perhaps forever.

one soul searching for the remains of another,
unfortunately,
not a sliver unearthed.
so hugely disfigured,
beyond recognition.

and I return.

2010-08-09T15:57:00.002+08:00

it's been so long since i last blogged, so just to keep this thing alive, here I am!

seriously, there's nothing much going on...there was that KLPAC trip, but it's pretty old already, so not worth mentioning now. there bits and pieces of things happening now and then, but lazy la.

I wanna eat kueh chap. i only found out recently that they don't have it here in KL.

okay, i think i should stop now. it really isn't a very bright idea trying to blog using the computer right in the front, cause everyone passing by can look at what you're writing.

should get back home now. buhbye.

field trip

2010-07-16T23:54:00.002+08:00

went for a field trip to the forensic department today (for my law subject). i know it's very un-college like, but it was kinda interesting. got back around dinner time. too tired to study. too lazy to sleep. meh. how is that possible.

i realise that in college, you cant afford to zone out. just a few minutes of that, and you'll be lost. trying my best not to bring my old school habit around. i realised i've done that lots. in chemistry, in physics, in biology, maths especially...even in PBK. miraculously, i escaped unscathed. not sure it'll still be so anymore.

my daddy's coming to visit tomorrow. maybe then we'll have time to catch eclipse. XD

humanities are completely different from what we've done in school so far. especially with the malaysian education system, which emphasises more on producing standardised answers. critical, out of the norm answers are not quite encouraged. it's quite the opposite which the english syllabus. you can't just copy answers out of reference books. shakespeare's "darling buds of may" can mean something else besides fragile youth.

my weekends are still pretty messy. haven't really established my weekend "timetable" yet. everyone's away for this weekend too.

just MAYBE, okay?

2010-07-11T13:27:00.003+08:00

i know parodies are excruciatingly lame and it's soooooo hard to actually sit through the whole of it, but I kinda want to watch this one. vampires suck, a twilight parody. like LOLs.

of mamak stalls and expensive food.

2010-07-10T14:19:00.002+08:00

not that i've ever been to any mamak stall, that is. but anyway...

erm, i really dont have much to say. i wake up at 7am, get ready for school which starts at 8am. go for lunch. then classes finish at 3pm or 4pm (1pm on fridays!!!). go to the web and check BB7. ta pau at AC. walk home. bath. homework. eat ta pau. review the day's lessons and read a bit of the next day's. sleep.

and i get so tired i dont even notice my housemates talking outside, my room mate coming in the room to sleep. the only thing i DO notice is...

THOSE DARN FOOTIE FANS AT AC WHO MAKE SUCH A RUCKUS IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. it's JUST a goal. don't bet, and it wont be a matter of life and death for you.

can wait for FIFA to be over.

taylor's

2010-06-28T21:03:00.002+08:00

Jailbreaking

2010-06-17T20:15:00.002+08:00

I spent the last few days working on jailbreaking my iPod. and hallelujah, it's still safe and now UNTETHERED!

i would love to work up a tutorial from pre-JB to post-JB, since i did mine refering to various sources/forums (it's a pain that they didnt contain all the information i needed) and making Google my best friend...but there are some copyright issues lurking around, so i shall not write the tutorial up.

however, i've learnt that jailbreaking is really a must-do. if you would like to take over your Mac OS, that is...so, why jailbreak?

1. cool games/apps. end of.
2. customise your OS
3.unlock countless new possibilities on your OS.
4. improve the performance.
5. it's safe and simple

list time!

2010-06-12T21:11:00.004+08:00

my list of must-visit places throughout my whole entire life:
1. England
2. Italy
3. wizarding world or harry potter, orlando
4. Ireland
5. Greece
6. disneyland, orlando
7. hollywood
8. Medjugorje
9. France
10. not Forks.

MoAr!

2010-06-10T22:07:00.005+08:00

i was going around the net, and i stumbled upon these stock pics! caption added by yours truly. ;)

comments?

PS: seriously, the lack of HP fans who actually read my blog is frustrating, cause i laugh ALONE in this matter. wait, let me rephrase. it's the lack of people who are actually HP fans and are my friends. PERIOD.

You know you're a Potter fan when you make it a life aim to visit the wizarding world theme park.

2010-06-08T17:49:00.001+08:00

I've spent so much going out since the holidays started. Let's calculate.

Prince of persia movie = RM 11
Secret recipe cake = RM 7

The killers movie = RM 12
Ice cream = RM 4.50
Popcorn chicken = RM 6.10

Go kart = RM 20

Bing's banana chocolate = RM 14
McD cheesburger + drink = RM 7.90

TOTAL = RM 82.50.

Cringe. That's a whole lot. See how much cheaper it is if I just coop myself at home with harry potter reruns?

of daft dimbos.

2010-06-06T14:07:00.003+08:00

so i was having re-runs of the Half-blood Prince (i'm sorry, but this will never stop!), and as usual, having fits of laughter throughout the whole movie (out of it's comic relief, most unlike twilight's cheesiness), and I couldn't resist not photoshopping this one:

why daft dimbos, you might ask?
well, this was a particularly funny scene in HBP, between hermione and lavender in the hospital wing.

Lavender: Where is he? Where's my Won-Won? Has he been asking for me? What's she's doing here? *looks at Hermione*
Hermione: I might ask you the same question.
Lavender: I happen to be his girlfriend!
Hermione: I happen to be his...friend.
Lavender: Don't make laugh! You haven't spoken in weeks! I suppose you want to make up now that's he's suddenly all interesting!
Hermione: He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo!

WIN! *peels of laughter*

not another twilight hate post

2010-06-01T15:11:00.002+08:00

oh yesssss! i know i've already had countless twilight hate posts, but this is just too epic for me to ignore. here's a conversation between my mum, brother and I.

Mum: go and put on something to watch...you can put that sparkly vampire twilight movie.
Me: *gllefully* you just called them sparkly!
Mum: true ba... he goes in the sun then sparkle and *ting ting ting*
Brother: I don't want to watch anymore vampire movies.
Mum: bah, they're not even REAL vampires! they don't bite people one. they just fall in love! it's not a vampire movie; it's a love story.

EPIC WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

muahahahaha!

been reading the deathly hallows again. my my, i'll never get bored of that series. don't you just love it when you're reading a book and you get this glowy feeling? haha. and the best part is to read from the first book to the last! it's like you've been on an adventure alongside the characters and you actually know them better than your friends. heehee.

L6B

2010-05-27T19:46:00.002+08:00

while waiting for my intake to taylor's college, i've been filling up my time with Form 6. I registered myself in the Bio stream since i had more friends there, PLUS there are cool stuff in the bio lab. hehe. they have 3 baby foetuses, lotta preserved snakes, worms, frogs, birds, insects, etc, etc.
bio periods are fun because the teacher is pretty outgoing! she taught us dancing (stumbling, for me. lol) during KK sessions. we did a few numbers, including nobody nobody and beat it.

although i won't be touching any of these stuff i'm learning now in form 6, but hey, it's the life experience that counts, right? i even found out that surd in mathematics is not spelt as C.E.R.T, but S.U.R.D. hehe.

greyson chance

2010-05-17T19:52:00.000+08:00

i'm surprised this kid's voice is deeper than justin bieber's.

kids.

2010-05-14T11:27:00.002+08:00

when Justin Bieber's Baby came on MTV, my brother asked: Is that a girl or boy??????

to which i replied: what do you think?

him: sounds like a girl...but it looks like a boy? is he a boy???

me: yeah la!

him: really? why is his voice like that?

me: =.=" yours is also like that now!!!

Justin Bieber looks as if he have a thing for older women or something, since all the girls in his vids look older, with this latino exotic look. hmm, no wonder he fancies kim kardashian.

EPIC WIN!

2010-05-08T23:30:00.003+08:00

so...i googled these:

New Moon DVD

2010-05-02T20:39:00.002+08:00

so i got my mum to buy the New Moon Blu-Ray DVD (to which she replied: WHAT? you want me to buy BLUE FILM???!!!).

well anyway, watching it the second time, i realised that Bella and Jocab are kinda...awkward. they have very awkward interactions. I don't blame Jacob for falling miserably for her, cause throughout the whole time, she's been sending misleading signals to him. poor Jake.

Jacob: So, happy birthday.
Bella: *smiles nervously*
Jacob: Uh, your dad, told my dad, so...
Bella: *nods* yeah, my dad would tell...(something like that, i can't really remember)
Jacob: So I this the other day, and thought of you...
Bella: *nervous laugh again* thanks.

seriously. she's always so oddly nervous when talking toEVERYONE. except Edward.

and am I the only one who finds it that the directing board is trying too hard to market the wolf pack by making them go onscreen half naked for almost 90% of the movie?

mmm, cheesy. can't wait for eclipse.

I'll fight for you until your heart stops beating.

st joseph's TKD

2010-04-24T23:02:00.002+08:00

i guess there's a reason why an all-girls school has separate activities with an all-boys school even though those activities are by the same board.

went for tae kwon do at st jo again today. omg. they made us run around the school hall on the rough, cobbled pavement. st teresa's is A LOT more subtle.
then we head out into the football field. so i was thinking: hey, there cant be anything worse than insects (we were all barefooted, when suddenly, the boy next to me spit into the field. then i was like: OWHAMGEE. thank goodness we didn't need to do the soldier crawl.

i know i sound like a sissy, but i just want to get my thoughts about this out here.
there. satisfied.

myPod

2010-04-20T13:17:00.001+08:00

Now that I've gotten an iPod touch, going online is easy breezy :D
I got all kinds of apps for my various online accounts, may it be facebook, tumblr, Twitter, or MSN. And they all look savvy and has impressive GUI. the only site that doesn't have it's own app is blogger. Seriously, for such a developed site, they should at least offer a free official app.

My English is getting worse by the day due to lack of homework. I guess it's ime I start doing some writing on my own instead of just reading...

metals!

2010-04-11T15:13:00.002+08:00

omg, these are just too funny! watch, and crank up the volume (well, not if you intend to watch this in the middle of the night)

HAHA!

achy breaky

2010-04-11T14:52:00.002+08:00

i went to tae kwon do again yesterday. needless to say, i forgot every single move.
actually bought some stuff while at the spring yesterday. got myself a shirt, a pair of sandals, and a book. hmm.

the internet's been crazy these days. whenever i want to log off the PC, it comes back on fine. =.="

completed my 10 pages homework for accounts on friday already. now, what shall i do next?
it's like this everyday, ever since SPM. like i've been scheduling what i'm going to do in this week's time in my head or something.

maybe i should have a break, have a kit kat, sit back and rewind. or have i rewound too much already?

only time will tell.

spazzzzz

2010-04-03T14:35:00.001+08:00

OMG. i just need to spazz about one more thing!!

WHY WAS I SO STUPID TO THROW OUT ALL MY PBK NOTES AND ESSAYS (EVEN MY CONTOH KARANGAN)??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

men in skirts

2010-04-03T14:02:00.002+08:00

went to watch clash of the titans while my mom and brother watched dragon yesterday.so what is the hype all about, hmm?

it's something like 300, only less gory and more substantial. plus, in 300, men only wore undies. but the greeks wore skirts in titans.

i found out that medusa can't really be the baddie after all she went through. seems like poseidon's to be blamed for her curse. oh, and athena's apparent "wisdom". wiki for more info. ;)

watched the new smallville episodes and i just need to say something.

OMG HOW DID OLIVER SUDDENLY GOT ON WITH CHLOE?????

10 things!

2010-03-30T11:10:00.003+08:00

yay! 10 things i hate about you has returned! great new episodes, i'd say.

i hate thursdays. busy from morning till night. and the rest of the week, i'm like so super free. seriously, everything just HAS to fall on thursdays. grrr, when i used to be the busiest on fridays, everything happens on fridays. and now, THURSDAYS.

=.="

oh and I just wanted to wish everyone a happy bon voyage! come back in one piece, and don't be hiau. lol.

now, the number of close friends from school i have who are still in kuching can be counted on one hand. how sad it that, eh?

my first blog-ference.

2010-03-13T21:54:00.002+08:00

so you must be wondering: why am i having a blog-ference? well, because of this:
according to abigail, emz and friends, this report makes nabila and I HAO LIAN. lol. because those weren't our exact words. (especially my indifference thingy. i do feel indifferent, but not because i expected to do so well. i just didnt know if it was good or what with the new grading system). and nabila did say she went for 4 tuitions, in contrary with was reported.

so yeah. lol. we gave them mi maggi they made us spaghetti.
now, let's not even talk about eastern times. that one makes me seem like such a...jovial person. if that's even the word.

enough said. i won't trust E! news anymore.

boozy

2010-03-12T22:55:00.003+08:00

can't the twilight cast get any boozier? even though this was for a movie, they're still always boozy. except taylor lautner of course. and kellan lutz. ashley greene still okay.
trust both of them (dakota and kristen) to get roles like these. boozy.

the wait begins.

2010-03-10T23:48:00.002+08:00

it's close to midnight. but i really don't feel like retiring to sleep yet. have to wake early tomorrow for business class at 9am tomorrow, but i doubt i'll be actually listening. i was already so restless in mandarin just now. even tried pairing abigail up with dev patel as zuko with the name Abiko. and that's suicide in real circumstances.
i think i'll just declare my own break-time at 10. get to school quick. then return to class. i'll already by having psychological truancy anyway.

need to breathe. hands are really cold. i partially blame the MOE for setting last minute changes with the grading system. it messed up my mental preparation. everyone's been aiming for a nice straight A ONES. then we had to bring up our notch without really knowing what that notch is, only months away from the exam. it's like being 3 years old and someone just told you a week before christmas that santa doesn't exist.

sigh. let's leave it to God.
and this is the closest post you can spell as "emo", i bet.

stupid cats.

2010-03-05T19:11:00.002+08:00

the stray cats decided to take shelter behind my house yesterday night. i mean, fine. that's OK. the annoying part was: they were fighting and crying the whole time.

i mean, they're even LOUDER than my house alarm. even when i cover my ears with a pillow. i can still hear them. my mum turned on the spotlight, then they stopped for like...5 minutes, and started meowing all over again. =.="

so my mum sprayed ridsect to shoosh them away, which they did to another neighbour's house.

the funny thing was my brother thought it was my neighbour's baby crying. harhar!

made me so tired, i nearly fell asleep in class. and halfway through, i realised something. ~~i wore my shirt inside out.~~

if only...

2010-03-01T17:24:00.001+08:00

if only the casting director saw this.

you can't argue they don't have screen chemistry.

wow. i'm not that freakish afterall. now back to my common law notes.

untitled

2010-02-21T15:57:00.002+08:00

hello. it's been a while since i've blogged (i think i say that in almost every post), so here am I.

so what have i been up to, hmm?

nothing lah. just been scouring the net with my new, sleek, fabulously awesome mega uber Windows 7 system. and there's a pretty pretty, KEWL flame logo thingy on the start button.

see? ain't it a beauty?

i've been having dreams about school and college just about everyday. or rather, every night.

it's time

2010-02-10T21:43:00.002+08:00

so college is finally here! but then it's gone on holiday again for a week during CNY. although my classes are pretty short, i basically fill up my time practising the guitar, reading my subject notes, and refering to the dictionary. and also mandarin class. oh, now that i'm listing out my activities, i've just remembered i'm supposed to atten TKD training and swimming lessons. which i have been procrastinating.

then there's this mysterious moral assignment too.

seriously, i think lawyers just like using tough technical terms for the fun of it.

but the rest of the time...hey, you still see me blogging, doncha? i even watched a few episodes of a new singaporean drama: together. improving my mandarin, hah!

the classroom was sooo cold today that i even shivered while trying to answer my lecturer.

lecturer: so what does the first statement here means?
me: it'ssss a-nnn iddd-ea aggg-ainst pppeople of diffff-rent polll-itical vieeeews, etc (you get the idea)
lecturer: *frowns* can you repeat? i didn't quite get what you meant.

i admire her for not shivering while lecturing.

taylor lautner.

2010-01-28T19:34:00.001+08:00

i hope i didn't ruin him, but i kinda did. a little only, i hope. anyway, this is it:
i'm a noob at this. taylor's my first time. at real life drawing, i mean. duh.

the dentist.

2010-01-25T17:04:00.002+08:00

i went to the dentist for scaling today. before he put that sharp cleaner thingy in my mouth he told me it would be a little sensitive. but before i could brace myself, he started anyway.

i was so tense cos that sharp thingy was annoying my gums. felt like my gums were being poked with toothpicks. i bet he thought i was so rigid. ugh, there was blood too. and wow, dentists have so MANY tools! amazing. he used that sharp thingy at first, then this minty water spray which left a minty oral after taste in my mouth. then he used another rubber thing to rub more minty flavoured stuff on my teeth.

the dentist was a bit...funny. i use to have a little stain near my gums, but he got rid of that. when he did, this was what he said:
Mr. Dentist: you're going to be VERY happy when i get the little stain off!
Me: *uh, okay* (mouth full with minty spray)
Mr D: i'm so glad i got it off. now you can smile brightly and show them your teeth. i knew i could get it off too!
Me: er..yeah. okay.

well, he's confident.

leeching the net

2010-01-23T11:53:00.002+08:00

i just finished mymoral class, and well, i've got nothing to do while waiting for my sister to pick me up. then we can go to the hills!~

there's really nothing much to do here, except leech their internet. which is kinda slow. but beggars can't be choosers. ehehh.

let's count down the days to when my school will start. been sleeping so much these days.

Percy Jackson

2010-01-19T13:10:00.003+08:00

so i've been reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and it's been great! the movie's coming out this february, directed by Chris Columbus who brought us Harry Potter, so it's bound to be great too. there's just a little snitch is soooo don't agree on. which is....

THE CASTING FOR ANNABETH CHASE.

okay, so you say: what's the big deal? Annabeth is the daughter of Athena. she's blonde, has that kind of know-it-all look (brainy but not geeky, in other words). you know, THAT kind of look. i imagined her to be like anna sophie robb. like this:
but oh, no...they decided to cast this girl who looks more like Selena Gomez.
i present to you: Alexandra Daddario.
FANGIRL IS ANGRY.

false alarm

2010-01-07T14:35:00.002+08:00

oops, false alarm, people! looks like i'll be starting school not earlier than you, but say... a month later. that "no freebies" condition punya pasal.

anyway, i guess i be busy driving. or spring-ing. or guitar-ing. or tkd-ing. we shall see.

hehe, when the hills mall open, i can go there EVERY SINGLE DAY.

but first...i have to make some friends. then i can drag them there! or something. shall figure out soon.

i think blogs are yesterday's news. everyone's facebooking or twittering now.

oh and by the way

2009-12-31T17:26:00.001+08:00

I LOVE MERLIN. arthur, actually.

as if you didn't know that already.

and i've finally reached level 20 in a few days on Maple Story. cheers.

down the road of nostalgia

2009-12-31T17:02:00.002+08:00

as i have said on FB, 2009 was a complete WHIRLWIND.
being in form 5, you just had to zoom through the syllabus and before you know it, it was SPM.

then in 3 weeks, it ended. i thought i would party till i drop and scream at the top of my lungs (so did everyone else then). but when it was actually over...it was like:so...what now?

we went for outings, damai, movies, shopping and everything. and almost everyday i'm still deprived of sleep from playing or going out from dawn till dusk.

okay, i exaggerated the last bit there. we only went out from 11am to 9pm. =) a little drama doesn't kill afterall.

so during these short-lived holidays of three weeks, i've watched:
princess and the frog
mulan
sherlock holmes
alvin and chipmunks 2
pocahontas
500 days of summer
bandslam
ben 10 alien swarm
the proposal
GI Joe
HP6 (again)

i've spent....actually i don't want to think about how much i've spent.

i've not been holidaying...just buzzing around kuching. or more precise, the spring.

bonding time with friends? so-so lah. hehe =)

btw, i can now listen to radio disney on my HTC via WiFi! kiddish, i know.

it's time to start a new chapter of life in 2010-tertiary education.

so long, and farewell!

HP7!

2009-12-24T19:43:00.001+08:00

i just saw the official teaser for HP and the deathly hallows, and i cant believe i'm in the dark the whole time about the trailer being released.

it's super duper uber absolutely really completely cool.

by the way, merry christmas eve to everyone!

shiny new banner!

i got sick of the old pixelated banner. so i went hunting at deviantart, and i found a fab floral background. i only added the "Mx" and the glossy layer, so the credits belong to allhopeislost.deviantart.com

i don't really do much with my blog anymore, these days. having less and less and less interesting things to share.

i've gotten boring. heheh.

disney classic reruns

i watched pocahontas today! and it was kinda nice. very realistic, since she didn't really have a happy ending.

princess and the frog a wee bit odd. the songs are mostly jazz, blues and rhythms... all in all, it was just a little weird. maybe because the prince fell in love with her and proposed in a matter of days only. too fairy tale-ish, i suppose.

mulan

2009-12-15T20:21:00.002+08:00

so i was watching disney's version of mulan not so long ago. i even had that "beads of jade for beauty" line rewinding in my head before chemistry exam.

so i went to watch the live-action version with full, uncensored violence. no more Mushu, cricket nor comedy. just plain ol' blood.

i'm so bored of the computer these days. unless it's for downloading or cd burning or chatting (no one hangs out online anymore, btw). i wanna watch my smallville, gi joe, HP6, etc or play my ps2. but i have to tutor my brother first on the computer.

basically, i have less than a month's holiday. school's starting soon.

the uncanny resemblance.
