My Fear of Clowns

Yes, I am here to admit that I am deathly, sickly and overwhelmingly afraid-to-death of CLOWNS.

Why, you ask? God damnit, why the eff NOT?!

See evidence below :



I think it all started when I was around 8. I remember that the whole family went to a carnival somewhere(on the outskirts of Manchester, maybe). We bought tickets to go inside the big performance tent to see the spectacle. After like 10 minutes into the performances, a group of clowns came out and started doing their thing. Everyone was laughing their faces off but I wasn't. All I could think of at that moment was that each of the clowns looked scary as hell. The way they looked at the crowd was kinda creepy and, dare I say it, evil. I saw glints of mischief that just freaked me out. It was probably then, that at the age of 8, I knew. I knew that clowns are the spawn of satan.

Heck, I don't even like Ronald McDonald, for pete sake. Have you seen those shoes? Yeah, the ginormous ones? I think he uses it to stomp on little kids that don't buy a Happy Meal.

So, what are you afraid of?

*ponder*

I recommend listening to If You Steal My Sunshine by Len. Loved it during the 90s.

Diet Tip #1

One of my recent discoveries:

Get yourself a mouth ulcer. It'll make the thought of food passing through your mouth sound so very unappealing.



...
ps/ Damn, ulcer! Me wanna eat!

I'm not Looking for Mr Right, I'm Looking for Mr Wonderful

I know it's actually pretty useless for me to list my perfect man, but what the heck, a girl can dream, right?

I want a guy....

1. That has manners. I'm not saying I need him to be as perfectly groomed as Prince William, but he's got to know the difference between what's appropriate and what's not.

2. That doesn't smoke. This one's a toughie, I know, cause so many guys love to puff away nowadays. But, smoking makes you stink, and if you do it next to me, then it makes me stink. It's also a waste of money.

3. That knows the meaning of respect. As in respect for me, his elders, my elders, his friends etc. If you can't respect others, then how do you expect me and the rest of the world to respect you?

4. That remembers the little things. I know the big things score big, but it's the little things that make my heart beat that little bit faster for you. Like, remembering my fav type of coffee or the fact that I don't like yellow shirts etc. Of course, I'll memorize to death the little things about him too.

5. That has motivation/ a dream/ ambitions. I absolutely cannot accept the existence of lazy, good-for-nothing, lepak-all-day-and-night, let-other-poeple-do-it type of person. If you're not contributing to something then you're just a waste of space and heck, you're using up my oxygen.

And if we happen to share the same interests in music and movies then he can virtually think of me as his for life :D

Basically, I want....



"Nate, if you see this, give me a call."

Kosen-kosen

During the first weeks of September, Tokyo and Hachinohe Kosen came to Kumpulan Teknikal Jepun, INTEC. They came as part of an interact type of meeting with the students of KTJ. It was fun and I found out a truth that I 'm not exactly ignorant to which is the fact that my Nihongo skills suck. BUT.. talking with the Japanese students really helped and I even picked up quite a few slangs and whatnots.

We also had a bowling match with them at Ole-Ole Mall. Needless to say, I sucked(noticing a pattern here?).

Then, the week after that, Nagaoka Kosen came. This time they were here to make some robots with us. With both parties being total newbs to this, it was an interesting day.

My team's robot had a malfunction or whatever but basically it just wouldn't program right. Totally pissed me off. But in the end, one of the group members got it to co-operate with us. Thank you, God.

On a totally different note, Gossip Girl season 3 has started and I'm starving for some Blair-Chuck action. I need my fix, it's been so long.



Though, this pic helps it a bit. :P

Shoot me, I think he's cute.

Reviewing a Review

Oh the audacity of it all..

Due to unavoidable chats with a few friends, it has come to my attention that my Harry Potter review needs a little fine tuning.

I do agree with Acap that there are parts of the movie that may be slightly incomprehensible to audiences who have not been indulging in the book version of the movie. There are also a few scenes that, regrettably, did not make its way to the movie. Scenes which I thought to be pivotal to the construction of the story.

I stand by my thoughts on the quality of the movie but I guess my 5/5 rating of it may be a bit off.

So, I have decided to use the 'In-case-of-emergency' option, which is to use a rating system of over 10.

Here it is - 8/10 !

You may say that I could have just used a 4/5 but I think that that would have made the distance between a 5/5 and the 4/5 too close.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is an exceptional movie but due to understandable situations and causes failed to rise to greater heights.


.

Bleeding Ears

To avoid the aforementioned sickness, you are advised to listen to the following remedies:

Exhibit A: The Wombats

Exhibit B: The Cribs

Exhibit C : Scouting For Girls

Exhibit D : The Pipettes

Exhibit E : The Maccabees

All of them are indie Brit bands. There's a good mix of humour, angst, perky and melancholy going on if you combine the five of them.

Personal recommendations:
1) The Maccabees - Toothpaste Kisses
2) The Cribs - Moving Pictures
3) The Pipettes - Pull Shapes
4) The Wombats - Derail and Crash
5) Scouting For Girls - She's So Lovely



Enjoy.


ps/ The Wombats get the biggest pic cause they're awesome. That simple :)

Review: Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince

Aah, where do I begin? Too many thoughts running around..

Well, I would compare this HP movie with a scene from the movie The Pianist (directed by Roman Polanski, starring Adrien Brody). There's a scene where a soldier comes and finds Adrien in his home, asks him what's he doing there and what is he. Adrien replies "I am a pianist", so the soldier tells Adrien to play for him, which he does. Adrien places his fingers on the rows of ivory keys and performs a piece; Chopin Ballade 1. The notes ring throughout the house, the music crying out emotion and the house is stilled by its beauty. This is what I'm reminded of when I think of this latest Harry Potter movie.

It would be stupidity on my part to compare a movie about a boy wizard to a masterpiece by Chopin. Luckily, that is not my intention. It is the emotion, the atmosphere and the raw feel that I am trying to address.

Quite a few of my friends have said that the movie was boring. I beg to differ. In my opinion, I think that they merely failed to grasp the concept that the director, David Yates, wanted to portray.

This sixth installment in the Harry Potter franchise deals with even darker issues than the ones that have come before it. Harry's main task in this appears to be finding out what a 'Horcrux' is. It is an ancient magic, where you kill a person in order to split your soul. Once that soul has been split, it can then be stored. Simply put, this means that that wizard will never die because a part of him will always be alive; immortality at your fingertips. Harry's mentor and fatherly-figure, Albus Dumbledore, also dies in this movie. On top of that, Harry's nemesis, Draco Malfoy, is faced with hurdles pertaining to the imprisonment of his father and the Dark Lord's wish for him to be an assassin. Just from these few examples alone, the fact that this movie is darker and deals with more mature issues is clear.

This movie is not a creation meant for a simple-minded viewer's momentary enjoyment. It is meant to be understood and savored by a mind. When you look at the colours and background used, you can see that the whole movie is dyed in sombre shades. The music and even the focus boldly paints a picture of gloom. This is unlike a Tranformers or an Adam Sandler movie, where the colours are bright and childlike, the music upbeat and current and the lines and plots in-your-face and obvious.

To comprehend, the subtle hints of evil, satire and even happiness have to be picked up. Even David Yates remarked Academy Award nominated Bruno Delbonnel's work on the film as "The choice of angles, the extreme close-ups, the pacing of the scenes...It's very layered, incredibly rich.". Though, the happy and lovey-dovey moments were a lot easier to get, but the characters are children after all so their joy should be bubbly enough for everyone to join in on the fun.

This movie also seems more European with its intense dark emotions and intelligent play of cinematography, rather than the sexual-connotations-filled and HIDEF shoots more often linked to American movies. There are also quite a few scenes that make me think of the movie The Name of the Rose (original title, Der Name der Rose) which is a German-French-Italian 1986 film, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, based on the book of the same name by Umberto Eco. I had to study this movie as part of the class research into Middle Age civilization. The shots, the music used and even the way some dialogues were carried out rings such a clear bell, it's uncanny.

I especially loved parts of the movie where no music was heard and there was only the actors delivering their lines. The pronunciation of each syllable, the depth that those words carried were surreal.

The part where Dumbledore is cradled by Harry was a great example of what a defining moment should be. As all the students and professors raised their wands to the sky, their light which was ignited by despair at the loss of a friend and mentor, outshone the darkness. The stillness that came after the Dark mark was erased made me feel a slight hollowness, for now, the fact that a great battle would ensue had become a concrete reality to all of Hogwarts' inhabitants.

While the first, Harry Potter movie was pretty much all fun about the discovery of such a wonderful thing as magic, this one was all about the curse of that very same wonder.

I think that this installment has left a great stage on which future productions can stand upon and display their wares.



Rating: 5/5

Sick

As in ill, unwell, bug-bitten and whatever else you can think of to describe the condition when your body can't really move, mucus runs down your nose, coughing spasms your body and your head feels like it's going to crack open any minute soon.

Aah, but the bliss of missing school. Unspeakable...

2 days ago got back from motivation camp. Awesome because we got to do a ton of activities and NOT awesome because it gave me this effing fever.

I heard that quite a few are also feeling rather unwell. The total count right now is 6 students. These are just the ones that I know of, there may be more.

Odaijini, minna-san.



Gonna go back to bed now.









See ya.

Procrastination

Oh, what a bliss it would be if everything I've ever planned and wanted to do oh-so-badly actually came true.

Sometimes I even have a list all written out of all the things that I want to that day. I write the words 'To do' at the top of the page and number out all the things or activities that I plan on doing. Even better still, some of them even have sub-notes explaining in detail what I must do in order for that item to be completed extra well. Alas, rarely do such great dreams materialize into reality.

Without further a do, I shall now write how my week-long vacay went :
All in all I would actually say that it went pretty well. While in Penang, I sunbathed a bit (God know's why I did this, I mean I'm already so tanned, I blame the Americans I saw lounging around the pool. They made it seem so glamorous!).
I also did some shopping. Bought a few souveniers for myself and for my class' lecturers. Had quite a few nice and totally relaxing walks on the beach. Kicked my brother's sandcastle around (no lah, I ain't that mean).

The last I time I remember coming to Penang was about over a year ago. One thing that hasn't changed, in spite of all the talk on economic downturn and financial destruction, is the amount of foreigners I see around Penang. I think there's actually even more so now. I noticed there were quite a few Americans(Southeners, judging by their accent), Japanese, British and a spattering of Eastern Europeans. I thought that a hitch in the global economy would mean a decrease in tourism but apparently this is just not true. This is great, I was kind of scared that a decrease in tourists would hurt Malaysia's economy heavily, especially when they contribute so much to it.

Moving on to Langkawi. This trip was a family gathering of sorts. Ther was my family and like another 7 other families who were all related to me. Again, did some shopping. Okay, maybe a lot of shopping, but it really only involves chocolate-related items. Also, went sight-seeing. Saw the usual Langkawi historic sites and stuff.

School related :

Like, two weeks ago, we did a 'Translation Class', where the seniors have to translate what the lecturers are saying for the juniors and then translate the juniors' answer for the lecturers. It went okay, I guess. My junior was 'disarming', I guess. Not really sure how to explain that. But that's how I felt about the whole situation. He's nice enough, though.

So the topic we had to discuss was about the effects the KTM's lateness had on all the people who use its services. It's a well-known fact that KTM is notoriously late for every stop, every time. I don't get why they even give out timetables if they're going to be 20 minutes late all the time. I think it's really cruel to give poeple false hope of boarding on a train at 8.00 but then arrive at 8.18. Doesn't anybody else think so, too?
Moreoever, this lateness really pisses off my Japanese lecturers because they really take care of being on time. I totally understand this sentiment. Hopefully, somebody, somewhere out there does something about this soon. It really makes Malaysia look like a disorganized and lazy country where everything from functions or parties to trains have a habit of being late.

I remember reading an article that said KTM was going to buy more trains but I don't think this will really solve the problems. What they need to do is better watch their time. Yes, adding more trains will enable more passengers to board but if you're still late, what you get out of this is just a higher amount of dissatisfied boarders who go to work/school late. Thank you..NOT!

A great HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout-out to : Nurhakim and Aisyah from KTJ.
Both celebrate their birthdays this month.

My plans all disappear as the waves crashes upon them

Tsumari

Hey,

Tsumari = Basically.

School was : annoying, exhausting, enjoyable, weird and sweat-inducing (both my classes and my apartment are on top floors). Everything that school should be.

Friends have been : crazy, hungry, heart-wrenching, loving, wonderful in every sense of the word and there. Everything that friends should be.

I have been : tired, crushing (me like!), sleep-deprived, broke (but not anymore. Yeah!), freaked and happy. Everything that I should be.

This semester has been : great! But not yet amazing... I'm still working on it.

Right now I'm on a week-long holiday after just finishing the first-half of my third semester.

I will be leaving for Penang tomorrow, back home on Thursday, heading to Langkawi on the same day.



One word and one sound : YEAH!







.

To...

To speak is to err,

To live is to die,

To be is to not.

Then, why am I here?





Ponder.

Bloody Hell! (bak kata si Ronald)

I'm freaking hum-dilly-dally excited!


.

Let's English(yes, I did turn a noun into a ???. Don't Do This!)

Today let's learn about an often used and increasingly popular phrase that I like.

Today's topic : "When the shit hits the fan."

Sounds interesting, yeah?

Meaning: When a situation goes bad or wrong. Sometimes it can also be understood as when a situation goes out of control or even when a secret is found out.

Understand: The easiest way to understand this particular phrase is to think literally. Imagine what happens when a pile of feaces/ stool/ shit is hurled upwards towards the direction of a moving fan. What happens? What else? Said object will break up into smaller chunks and will then be thrown about in a circular motion and basically everyone and everything will be covered in said object. Sucks, right?

Example : "Listen to me, they're not your friends, Chuck. They only want your money. Yeah, they're here now but do you think they'll be here when the shit hits the fan?" said Nate.

Meaning: Nate is asking Chuck if his 'friends' will still be by his side when all his money is gone/ he goes bankrupt or even when he's in trouble.

Example 2: "It's great, you know, having three girlfriends. Though I am a tad worried about what's going to happen to me when the shit hits the fan," pondered Dan.

Meaning: Nate is wondering about what will happen to him if his girlfriends find out about each other. Smart thinking, man.

That's all for today.




Bye, peeps.

Give It To Me Baby; Scholarship Talk

Really sorry but this post might be kind of random and unorganized but you'll be fine. Trust me :P

1. Don't be a chicken. Apply for those damned scholarships!
Most students think that if they don't have straight A1's they won't have a chance of getting a scholarship. This is B***S***.

Obviously there's basic requirements and from my experience, the very minimum is 5 A's. And those A's can be either A1 or A2.

2. Do research! You want other people to pay for your education, for your living arrangements and for your books and everything else but you can't spend 10 minutes in front of a computer to do some research?! Then you don't deserve to get it. Lazy a**.

3. Go wide! By this I mean your potential money-givers. Don't just look to JPA, MARA, PETRONAS, BANK NEGARA for their scholarships. There's hundreds and I really do mean hundreds of private and government companies and organizations who have money and all they want to do with that money is pay for the education of the future generation of leaders/ engineers/ doctors/ artists(painters, writers etc not singers!)/ whatever other job you can think of that will help the human race.

If you already have a future job in mind, then go to companies that have relations with that job and find out if the company has a grant/fund to finance students. Some may come with a binding contract. People complain about binding-scholarships but you should think of it as job-security. When you finish studying, there's already a job waiting for you. With the world economy looking not so good and with thousands of people losing jobs every day, a binding-scholarship is great!

If you already have a certain school/college/ university that you want then find out if the school/college/university has scholarships to give to prospective students. Most are partial-scholarships, this means they don't pay for everything but they might cut 10% - 90% of the amount of money that you would need to pay, saving you thousands! Full-scholarships are fewer in numbers but that's not to say that it doesn't exist. Again, I say, RESEARCH! ASK!

Side note: I am currently a scholarship-recieving student who is overseas bound. I didn't get straight A1's. Most of my batchmates are the same. They have B's on their result slips too. But here we all are, happy, healthy and having a great time, without straight A1's.

Being moderately active in school helps a lot. Join a club and organize something and make sure there's proof that you put work into those projects.

APPLY FOR ALL/ ANY/ EVERY scholarship!

If you get an interview, come prepared. You'll look stupid and disrespectful if you have no idea about the course you want to take/ the history of the company or organization and etc.

For example, during my JPA interview there was a Malay girl who was in the same interview group as me. She got 10 A1's. Her ko-ko records were great. But there was a huge problem; she didn't know anything about the course she applied for and when the interviewer asked her what country would she like to study in she said "emm..America..", the interviewer said "that's not in the list of countries we offer for your course,didn't you know?". Embarrassing!! And I think you can guess that she didn't get the scholarship. She had no idea what country she wanted to go to, what she would be studying if she took the course she applied for and her not knowing all of this just made her look lazy and self-centered. Don't be her! Find out as much as you can about everything.
She also couldn't speak English. Her English was horrendous! How could she get 10 A1's? The fact that she could score so amazingly if a test was written but couldn't speak a single line of English properly doesn't do her any good.

That's the other thing, English! Brush up on your speaking skills because most interviews are conducted in English. Nobody gives a damn about you if you get straight A1's but can't join in the discussion/ talk/ interview because your English is crap.

Your potential sponsors don't just want you to study books. They want to send you overseas so that you can experience a different culture/ way of life and etc. How are you going to do all that if you can't speak to anyone?
If they wanted you to just study, they would be better off sending you to local universities, it'd save them millions.

This is all that I can think of now.

Good Luck, ya'll.

"Just" Friends

Hey.

So, quick question, is a friend some type of insect? Or a piece of gumball wrapping that you step on while walking? Or better yet, the pink small Baskin Robbins spoons you get when you try out a new flavour?

The answer's NO , right?

Then, why is it when someone asks you about your relationship with someone else of the opposite sex, whom you seem close to, you reply with "No, we're just friends."

I mean, seriously, everybody does it right?

I've always wondered about this. Do we subconsciously want to degrade our friends?

Do we have some sort of weird, unspeakable, sort-of-demented hate towards them?

So, we get back at them by degrading their value in front of (sometimes) complete strangers?

I guess, many would say it's because we haven't 'elevated' them to the status of boyfriend. Thus, they're not as important.

BUT..

Usually, when you want a shoulder, you go to your friend, right?
When you need someone to lend you 5 quid, you go to your friend, right?
When your boyfriend/ girlfriend/ lover hurts you physically/emotionally/ spiritually, you go to your friend, right?

(Unless you haven't got any friends, in which case, I feel bad for you.)

Then, why are they debased in such a fashion?

I made you think right? Right? Thought so.

I've decided from now on, I will try to avoid saying me and (insert guy friend's name) are just friends.

You should think about this too.

Unless of course you do have some sort of weird, unspeakable, sort-of-demented hate towards them. Cause, if it's that, degrade them all you want. Not that I'm encouraging you.


Ta for now.




(who the eff says "Ta!" anymore ?!?)

Heaven Sent

While living in Australia in 2004, I used to watch Australian Idol and the clip below is by far the best performance I have ever seen.

Totally gave me goosebumps watching and listening to it. Still does.



His name is Anthony Callea and he eventually won runner up on Australian Idol and this song became his first single which became the highest selling single that any Australian artist had ever had.

Wishing him all the best.

The Difference

Good morning, class.

Today we're going to learn a new phrase. Well, actually, two new phrases but they do sound alike so maybe some of you will group them as being one. Whatever.

New phrase of the day : Bail out

Explanation: To bail out on someone means to stand them up or leave them hanging. Hanging, not panting, mind you.

Example: The groom bailed out at the last minute and left Jenny standing alone at the latar.

= The above sentence means that the shitty groom thought "What the %#$@ am I doing? I don't wanna wake up to the same face everyday! Better make a run for it.". So, the shitty groom runs away from his own marriage. Basically, he stood her (the bride) up. He left her hanging all alone in her $5,000 Vera Wang and $2,500 Bvlgari jewels at St. Peter's Church.

Now, kids, we should not confuse the new phrase of the day with an almost similar phrase/verb; 'to bail out'.

Example: "Bail me out, mom. I got caught smoking pot at school."

= The above sentence means that the dumb@#$ kid is telling his mom to bail him out of prison/lock up for his crimes. Basically, 'bail (insert dumb@#$'s name) out' means to get said dumb@#$ out of trouble or a glitch. It's got nothing to do with standing someone up.

You see the difference?

Also, please notice the way the subject+verb+object relate to one another.

You see the difference?

Last sentence for today - "Before you even think of bailing out on me, please remember who bailed you out of juvi three months ago!".

That's all for today.
Have a nice day!

The Firsts

Since I have just finished my first year at PPPKTJ, I thought I'd list out a line of firsts as a way to mark the lasts.

First friend at PPKTJ - Quah Fu Wei
First roommate - Laily Ali
First Comrade - Izzaty Khalit
First Partner for a Comedic Duo - Fadhillah
First guy friend in Tanpopo - Hong
First friends in Himamwari - San and Danial Asraf
First item bought with scholarship money - Lunch at the canteen behind the old PPKTJ building (sad, I know.)
First nickname given to by seniors - Public (don't ask me why)
First vacay without parents - To Kedah with Ellie and Anne

There's a bunch of other firsts but I can't really force my brain to remember right now.

Get It Right, People

What is the difference between :

"Are you bored?" and "Are you boring?"

Did you even realize that there was a difference? Did you know that by saying the wrong one, you are actually insulting the person you're saying it to?

"Are you bored?" means you're asking the person if he/she is feeling boredom.

"Are you boring?" means you're asking the person if he/she is a total bore/ loser.

Please, don't go around insulting people in a la-di-da-di-da fashion.

Chill

I kinda realize that I'm scaring/ upsetting/ worrying/ freaking out a few of you right now. Mainly, because of my recent posts.

Chill.

Seriously, it's not as bad as I make it sound. I get really emotional, in-depth and OTT whenever I write. Blame all the stuff that I've read during my life.

Chill.

You guys kinda know me anyways, right? Then you should know that I'll get over this.

Chill.

But if it turns out that I don't, you guys can help me plan the annihilation of a 'friend'. It'll be fun, I promise.






Kidding...maybe.

Repercussions

I guess all that soul-searching last night took its toll.

I can barely open my eyes & my throat feels like it's trying to give the Sahara a run for its money. Also kinda feels like something died in it. Euww.




Sorry, Acap, for bailing out on you.

Flight

.



Has anyone wondered what it would feel like to fall from a skyscraper or a bridge?

To just feel the wind graze your skin?

To feel for for 3 seconds complete, uninhibited and unrestrained fall?

To think that those 3 seconds of freedom makes the fall at the end worth it?

Well, I have. Lots of times, actually.

I don't want to be the shoulder you cry on, the one who catches you when you fall, the one who cushions the impact. And I most definitely do not want to be the replacement. I will not be looked at as his substitute.

Leaving KL

I only have another 2 weeks before I no longer study in KL. My prep center (PPKTJ) is being moved to INTEC,UiTM Shah Alam.

Who would have thought it'd be possible to miss something as disgusting as the pollotion and the traffic jams in KL. Certainly, not me.. but chances of that happening now is seemingly emminent. Again, damn.

Oh, watched Juno. Loved it. The way they speak in the movie is wicked weird. Why does everyone keep referring to everyone else with 'dude'? The soundtracks kinda weird too, but in a good way. Thank God.

Also watched, Slumdog Millionaire. Not yesterday, but like a month ago, I think. Loved it then, love it even more now.

Shoutout to any SMKSI peeps.

Movie Reviews; Me haunting Cinemas

Since lately all I do is haunt the cinemas I might as well review what I've watched.
ps/ these are my thought on the movies, you want a synopsis, Wikipidea can help you there.

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging : It was as corny as I expected it to be but in a good way(?). The love interest is beyond hot, and he's in a band too *squeals*.He also says the cutest things. At parts I do feel pity for Georgia but most of the time I was just pissed off at her lousy 'best friend', Jas. I mean, come on, how can anyone bestow such a title as best friend on a bitch like her? I was pissed all right. And the fact that the movie got me all riled up (and pissed off, let's not forget that) was probably why I liked it so much. The storyline was alright and predictable, as I stated before. The music, now that was awesome! The songs were totally wicked. I am now on a hunt for the soundtrack to this movie. Yes, it was that good.
Rating : 3.5 / 5


Bedtime Stories : I just realized when a friend told me, that this is the first movie in a while where our beloved Mr. Adam Sandler does not swear. I guess Disney have him on a tight leash(thank God!). The storyline was different, I'll give you that but.. I don't know. This movie just wasn't working it for me. The really-honest-to-God-my-stomach-hurts funny scenes were far and few. Memorable moments that you can pick apart with friends after you've watched the movie; almost non-existant. The CG was kinda cool though but still.. I don't know. Maybe they should have let him throw in 1 or 2 crass words after all.

Twilight : Dissapointed. One word conveys so many emotions, actually. I feel duped, conned, hoodwinked and God know's what else. After hounding all the trailers for Twilight I expectd a movie that was action-packed, thrilling and basically all-round satisfying but that was not to be! Yes, I do know that Twilight is essentially a love story but if you've seen the trailers then you would have just felt the stark difference in the movie. The movie lasted too long and the pace was crawling(!!!), those are other things. I nearly fell asleep, for cying out loud. Yes, Robert is drool-worthy but even his handsome features couldn't save this boat from sinking. I've read that there'll be a sequel and pray to God it too will not dissapoint me. Have mercy.

Transporter 3 : I really did wonder how many sins I'd be committing by watching this. The answer, quite a few. Jason is hot, women all over the world know this but the directors still had to smother us with very visual, hi-def and O-inducing shots of Jason taking down the bad guys. Come to think of it, those scenes were probably the only parts where I paid actual attention to what was going on. Sad to say, but T3(and T2, for that matter) will never be good as Transpoter 1. Nothing like the original, comrades. His love interest was also kinda awkward and unprepared to take on the role. Cute freckles, though. Another cute thing? Jason's Audi. *drools* It was beyond awesome when the Audi outdid the Merc, total justice. Mercs are too hyped, IMO.

I did catch a few other movies but I'm too sleepy.

Back Again..

I know I've been gone a while but i just couldn't be bothered lately. But now, I'm into it again.

SO...

Oh yeah, I went to a picinic thing at Taman Perdana that was organized by women who'd studied overseas and wanted to have fun(while imparting knowledge) with us.

It was fun. And I met this there's-some-screws-loose-up-there girl who's studying at IBT now. She'll also be flying to Japan next year. I went to this picnic with Izzaty and Dilla.

Actually after only arriving for like 20 mins we were already actually planning our escape plan because we were all so sleepy(not because of the activities but beacuse we'd all slept pretty late the night before.)

Shout out to Prasys for telling me to start blogging again. Love you(you know I do).


Peace.
