haha...

WAHAHAHAHA...they have 'They're Taking The Hobbits To Isengard' on imeem.com!!! WAHAHAhahaha omg... this is so cool. I'm gonna load it next week!

Aside from that, nothing much happening now. I've basically settled everything for next year...so nothing much left to do. Just left sneaker shopping only. Heh, now I'm in a Devil Beside You mood, as you can tell from the song. ^.^ And I'm currently watching Why Why Love, which has Rainie, Mike and Kingone. Kingone looks really cool in WWL, more 'gaya' than in DBY. Anyone watching WWL, watch the 'behind the scenes' where you can see Kingone acting so cute and funny, never would have thought he's 27 . (T.T...10 years older than me...no hope edi, haihz)

Well, that's that. And if I don't post anything new by next week, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

What's wrong with the world?

Benazir Bhutto has died.

As much as it was a shock, still, there's no surprise. There were quite a few asassination attempts on her before. Suicide bombings that claimed many lives.

Seriously, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD???

I just don't get it.

It frustrates me that people are willing to kill someone just to keep her out of politics. It's crazy. This isn't new either. Everyones familiar with Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, and of course the Sept. 11 attacks. And don't think that these things just happen in America. I'm just using those examples because they're more known.

I don't-CAN'T understand why this is happening.

Going on a murderous rampage and killing people just because your life sucks isn't a valid answer.

There isn't a logical answer to taking an innocent life.

If were friends with a murderer, I'd be sick to death.

Have these people no minds? Have they no feelings? Have they no heart?

Life is so valuable. You only have ONE life. There's no 'try again' button appearing on your screen after you've died. Once you've died, that's it.

If you've failed in your exams, there's always others exams to excel in.
If you've failed in business, there's always other oppurtunities.
If you've missed the turning to your house, there's always other junctions, and you could always do a U-turn.

But if you die...there's no turning back.

All these valuable lives...lost because of madmen in this world.

Crazy idiots (for lack of a better word), I hope they rot in hell.

Frustration

Sometimes I hate my life.

Not because I'm my dad won't increase my allowance.

Not because my mom won't let me go out.

Not because 'everyone hates me' and I'm constantly taunted by stinky 'popular' people. Frankly, I couldn't care less about them.

But because my very existence is injuring the planet.

My life basically revolve around energy-consuming electrical items, pollutant-emitting vehicles, forest-depleting paper, and life-sustaining water that I use to wash tiny marks on my finger.

Even as I type this, I can't help feeling guilty.

Sometimes I wonder: Are humans needed on this Earth?

Would the Earth be better off without us?

There's a saying that goes: Among all the species on this planet, we are the only species with the power to protect them all.

And yet we are abusing that power for our own greed and demands.

Are we really that important that no other life matters? That we have the right to invade habitats that belong to other species for our own purposes.

It was on the news a few days ago, that a Siberian tiger escaped from its enclosure in a zoo and attacked three people, killing one of them. The tiger was shot dead while attacking it's third victim. I am personally enraged. What gives us the right to kill the animal? It was, after all, doing what thousand-year old instincts thought it to do.
If aliens from Andromeda were to kidnap me from Earth, bring me back to Andromeda, cage me up and allow other aliens to watch, stare and taunt me in my cage, I'd be pissed too. Can I be blamed if, when I have the chance, I escaped from my enclosure and started attacking aliens that threaten my chance of escaping from this darned place? I didn't ask to be taken from my home. I didn't ask to be caged up. I didn't ask to be in this stupid zoo that is no way similar to my home however much these guys try to make it similar so that visitors can see me 'in my natural environment'?
And this doesn't happen in zoos only. Hundreds of wild animals are killed each year for attacking people that venture into the wild. They aren't even allowed to act like wild animals in their own habitat. It's not their fault. What makes us so important that it gives us the right to kill an animal that acted purely out of instinct?
It already bad enough that the animals are being driven back as we happily deforest their habitat, but now they aren't even allowed to do what thousands of years of evolution molded them to do.
We, after all, ventured into THEIR territory, not the other way around.

This gets me on my nerves many, many times. I could go on, but i'll save you the agony of reading and log off.

Bye.

26th December...

Neh, nothing much happened today. Just went shopping at the Curve. Bought some shirts and sandals...BUT NO SNEAKERS!!! urgh, just how hard is it to get a nice pair of sneakers??? hmph, I think I should try the place Leng told me, opp. art attack. Hopefully there's something for me. Today's Boxing Day, so BISH BISH BAM BAM...me box you. Merry belated Christmas to all!!!



On a more...sad note, today's the 3rd anniversary of the tragedy that took thousands of lives and shook millions of others all around the world. To families, friends and everyone whose lives where affected one way or another by the tsunami that struck on 26th december 2004, my heart goes out with you. May you be able to carry on living and cherishing the lives that you have now, while remembering those that were lost on that fateful day.

-none-

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! HO!! HO!! HO!! Wishing all Christians everywhere a very merry Christmas!! I'm sure you've all been good boys and girls and Santa has rewarded you finely this morning or tonight.

Btw, I went to One Academy yesterday. I was really impressed with it, and so was my dad. However, it did had a few important drawbacks.
1. VERY far from my house, which is in DJ
2. Although I'm sure the quality of edu. is good, but it doesn't have any internship programs, which iact has.
3. It has a few design clubs and such, but other than that, it's just as un-clubby as iact.
4. The course costs about 20k more than iact's.


So...from a money and travelling point of view, iact is better.
From the facilities point of view, toa is better because well, they have more money and people to buy equipments for. And they have unlimited entrance to Sunway Lagoon and Sunway Piramid is like, next door. But then again, I'll probably be too busy to go Sunway Piramid-ing or Sumway Lagoon-ing, so not really much difference. Iact, though the facilities are in a smaller scale, but it's sufficient and well maintained.
From the quality of education, I'm sure both are good. Very hard to compare unless you actually went through BOTH colleges. But iact has an internship program, which will really help students to get a job in the industry.
Toa and iact both have a lack of non-academic clubs, so no plus or minus there.

So, all in all, I choose...




IACT!!! woohoo!!! OK!!!
So I'll be taking up Graphic Design in IACT!!! Wish me luck!!

Li Ann's bbq

Yes, there ARE things to blog about.

Went to Li Ann's condo about...almost 6. First thing I saw when I stepped into the compound itself was Li Ann in a swimsuit waving at me from a balcony. It took me a few seconds to register that unique welcome. Then, it hit me: I DIDN'T BRING MY SWIMSUIT!!! NOOOOoooo just when I was looking forward to it. ARGH. But back home I thought that around 6 no one would wanna swim, so I didn't bring it. ARRRGHHH.....But THANKFULLY Li Ann has some pants and shirt that we made a swimsuit out of. IMMEDIATELY after that I started swimming. Then later Abi joined in, she was wearing a bikini but too shy to take her shirt of in front of everybody that she just jumped in, shirt, pants, bikini and all. Then the guys got out to prepare the fire while some others stayed back in the pool. Haha it was so fun, especially the slide. At first I couldn't slide down very well bacause my pants were kinda rough, but later Abi lent me her pants and ZOOM, I slide down so fast that I was scared I'd fly out of the slide. OWH, I forgot to mention that Abi brought JK's watergun...and the first person she squirted was Hui Lynn. Then later she made the mistake of squirting JK's bro and got chased literally around the block by him carrying a potato chips packet filled with water. Eeeww...water + grease + potato chips smell = not a very good combo to be splashed with. Owh, and Quinton came later bringing Domino's. So blurr. He didn't notice a thing when I offered to take the Domino's pizza from his hands. Then Super Abi with WaterGun XX2000 didn't waste a single moment and squirted the poor guy.

So makan makan after that, and a few dives into the pool. Then when everyone finished eating we all swam in the pool. Then Leng came, bringing some drinks. And SHE PUSHED QUINTON INTO THE POOL!!! wahahahahahahahaha....very good. I bet he didn't expect that from such a *cough* innocent *cough* girl like Leng. Hehe. But padan muka him, kept on watergunning us without actually joining us in the pool. Haha. No hard feelings Quinton...it's just fun seeing people get pushed into the pool. And I'm not being mean, I got pushed into the pool, and everyone was laughing, so now that it happened to someone else I deserve to laugh as well.

Then it drizzled a bit later. Abi and I were in the pool at that time, and JK's bro as well (sorry I forgot his name...it's Joon -sumthing...) I saw everyone rushing to save the food, felt a little bad for not helping them, but by the time I wanna get out they already saved the food. Heee...sorrysorry... Then the three of us went exploring the rest of the poolside. Li Ann, your pool very nice...got bridges and sprinkler...very nice...

Then the pool lights went off, I admit, I was a little spooked by the pool after that. And Abi made that DUMDUM DUMDUM sound...my imagination started going haywire. So we got out form the pool and went to the...some hall of some sort. There we chitchat a bit...then Leng and I went to the swing set and chatted a bit there. Very nice to go outdoors at night.

While we were chatting outside, everyone back at the hallroom went back. Only noticed when Li Ann asked us to come back, and no one was in the room. We only knew that Abi and Chays went back because they called us. Aih...

So we went back to Li Ann's hse, chitchat abit, and called our dads to pick us up. Li Ann's house has a really great view. Especially at night, with all the lights and stuff.

Today, on the other hand, there was a little Chinese prayers and food for lunch. And then later my dad and I went to UTAR's Arts and Social Sciences PJ campus to check it out. Outside, it looks nice. Inside...very bad. Very poorly maintained. Looks really run down, like an abandoned college. But since it's only the temporary campus (the main campus is in Kampar, Perak), what can one expect? Still, I wished that they would have spent some money on repairs. IACT, even thought it's small (and I mean small) the condition of the college is good. Well maintained and I don't have to go 'eeeyer' when I look around. So I guess that's a plus for IACT. The only thing that attracts me to UTAR was that they have a lot of types of clubs that I was looking forward to join. IACT campus is really small, so I don't expect Drama or Music clubs, although I am looking forward to joining their Creactive.

So....that's about it for now. Spending 6 hours at Kg. Kayu Ara tomorrow for some driving thing.

Goodnight, byebye

Undang...

YES!!!I PASSED MY UNDANG!!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! YESYESYESYES!!!
I know, I know, no big deal, you say. But considering that I failed the first time, this IS a big DEAL!! Finally this big burden can be lifted of me and blasted into oblivion. YES!!

Nothing much to say except this. But Li Ann's bbq party is tonight, so hopefully there are things to blog about after that.

TATA!!

IACT tour: 2nd day

Wehehe...today is the second day of the IACT Exploration workshop. Did some animation stuff at the comp lab...really cool. Then had KFC for lunch. Then later we went to Sin Chew Jit Poh factory and see how they make the news: from typing to editing to the printing process itself. It was interesting to find out, but could do without the smell. It almost made me puke. Here's what we had for the last two days:

18th December
*Ice breaking session by student council
*Marketing Communication Workshop
-Miss May sort of gave examples of people's perception on colours, like how red is the considered a sign of warning or sexiness)
*Mass Communication Workshop
-Mr. Tan thought how the media affects people and their lifestyles... how we tend to think of things the way the media portrays it. Exp, the media portrays slim, flawless skinned people as sexy and beautiful, and so we think that way as well.
*Lunch= Domino's pizza =)
*A tour around IACT
-found out the college is really small, but feedbacks from students suggest that although it is small, but it's a really good college.
*Graphic Design Workshop
-learnt how to make our own logos with Adobe CS.
*Intro to broadcasting by .dot Video Club (really cool club)
-we saw some examples of ads and gave comments on them.
*Broadcasting Workshop
-the cikgu there gave us more insight on the broadcasting industry (and I found out really good Broadcasters get lots of $$$ haha)

19th December
*"Welcome to the Advertising World" by CREACTIVE (another cool club that I'm looking forward to join)
-my team had to act out an ad. We had to advertise this really capalang looking comb (those combs you can get for 30 cents and usually find at the your dad's back pocket). Got 3rd prize aka 2nd last prize...but ok ler...20 minutes to discuss only...
*Public Relations Workshop
-Miss Su told us more on what PR people do. Turns out their work banyak stresssss...and it's not normally as glamorous as we see on the tv.
*Creative Multimedia Workshop
-made our own animation of a face rolling here and there.
*Lunch= KFC hehee
*Field visit to Sin Chew Media
*Creative Writing
-we hade to create a poem containing a few words that had to be included in it.


So that sorts of wraps it up. TTFN

IACT tour

WOOHOO... Had a really great time today at IACT (Institute Advertising Communications Training). I met Jia Huey there who I didn't expect to come. She wanted to check out their Graphic and Multimedia, so decided to go for the tour thing. It was really great. Some of the lecturers there gave some talks and showed some slideshows to explain more about the subects offered and took us around the college so that we could look around their studios and lecture rooms. The place is a bit small, but the just have the basic and regular equipments used in the industries. Met a few people, one of them by the name of Arashi. HAHAHahaha...ain't that cool. When I heard that name I went O.O *have I heard right?* Then I saw her name tag and went *oooo...* She said that her name was supposed to have arabic origins (but it's still the same name of one of my favourite bands!! hehe).

Owh, btw, I highlighted my hair yesterday. YESSSS!!! It looks awesome. The experience while doing though, is something I can leave without. My aunt did it for me. I went to her house and my parents left me there while they went to my grandparent's house. Then my aunt did those stuff that those who highlight before had. And my parents made perfect timing when they chose to come back at the very minute my aunt finished. My mom first came in and gave that open-eye-wide-and-big-grin look. Then my dad came in the room and did the same. They said very nice comments too. First my mom say "We should take a picture of that!" then my dad said " ...*snigger* From Mars ka?" Then later on everytime my mom looked at me she kept saying "Should've brought the camera ler...take picture of this girl from [insert planet other than Earth]" Needless to say, my non-existent reputation was already extinguished before it even had a chance to build up. *poof* T.T

Well, that's about it for now. Having Day 2 of IACT tour tomorrow. So...seeya till then.

Owh, and Ah Yi, THANKS SOSOSOSOSOSO MUCH!!! I know that it was really tiring highlighting my hair, and even though you will most probably not read this, THANK YOU!!!

Undang again

Not taking Undang today, THANK GOODNESS. phew. Though the tension and stress is killing me, and there's a part of me says JUST DO IT AND BE DONE WITH IT. Seriously, now I can't even write stories without this huge cloud of GUILT hovering over me because I'm writing stuff on the computer when I'm supposed to be studying. And I thought the exam-stress was over after SPM. Dang. Ah well, tomorrow's gonna be a busy day. I have this tour thingy around IACT for tomorrow and the day after. It's from morning till evening, so I'll probably be too tired to blog, but I'll see what I can do.

Anyways...having Undang on the 21st which is coincidentally the day of Li Ann's bbq. Ah...that's going to be a problem...sorry Li Ann, I don't think I'll be able to come early. I'll try my best though, and I promise some extra munchies as an apology. I still hope I'll be in time for a swim though. Sigh.

Weellll....that's it folks! Seeya around when I see you around...

Of Movies and Christmas Party

Wow, really busy day today. Went 1U in the morning then later my teacher's Christmas party. Watched the Golden Compass today, and it was... quite nice. I'm booked for the next movie, hehe. Polar Bears rock. Then we went to eat at McDs. A guy came asking for donations to charity, and I gave him 10 ringgit (it was the only note in my wallet!!). Then later I went to the Christmas party. Only five were there, Abi, Li Ann, Leng, Joon Kenn and me. I'm so glad I came, if not I would have felt awful for disappointing her.

I came across some er....insight on Christianity at that party. My teacher and her husband are really passionate Christians. I must say, I admire them for their devotion. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to make me believe in Christianity. I'm sorry if any of this offends anyone of you. I'm just expressing myself, and I'm not insulting anyone. For me, getting me to change my athiestic belief takes more than an inspiring movie and stories on how one's life change because of God. For me, I still have questions; questions that were left unanswered, and I won't change what I believe in until I get them answered. If I want to change my religion, I really really have to know everything about it before I convert, because it is life-changing, and I don't want to be in a rush. It's like after hearing a study-motivater speak, you feel all motivated after the talk, but then a few weeks later the effects subside and you feel lazy. I don't want to make any rash decisions. Even so, I admire Christians (at least the ones that I know) for their devotion to God. Nothing could ever make them sway from their path. I'm also grateful that my teacher and her husband took the time to explain to me, and try to get me to follow the right path, showing me that she really cared. But I'm still an athiest, with my own beliefs, and it may take a long, long, long, time to convert. Again, I hope I do not offend anyone.

OMG

Oh crap...I failed my Undang.
This is really saddening, I guess I haven't been paying enough attention to the stictness of it. Ah, what to do, just resit only ler. Nothing else I can do, don't tell me I should bribe the guy rite? But still, I had my hopes up. UGH... At least Joon Kenn can teman me in failing (don't kill me JK, I JK only... Ah, at least the other two guys also failed...one failed in this test the other failed in his first. Btw, the guy who failed the first time (passed the second) is also my cousin's neighbour (living in Damansara Indah)...Just a few...erm...plot lands away. Same street. Cool. Heh.

AHAHahahahahaha... going to watch the Golden Compass tomorrow. And then have to go college seeking later. heeh

That's it for now, I'm going to crawl under my bed and weep now. SOB

Undang tomorrow

OH CRAP!! My Undang test coming up tomorrow...this isn't good...no, not good at all. I'm SO SO SO afraid I'll fail. A friend of mine who recently sat for the test FAILED. Yeah, capital F. I'm really really scared.

Ok, change of subject, because my stomach's all jiggly now. My mom took away some food this afternoon. Quarter chicken from this cafe called Cinta Ria@ DJ. It's really really good. I told my mom that it tastes like Dave's Deli, and my mom said that IT IS DAVE'S DELI. Wow...cool. Maybe next time I'll try their Fish and Chips, my mom said it looked really good.

Not much more to say, I'm afraid. Post more tomorrow, most probably about my results. T.T

movies...

It's been raining again. Seems to happen a lot these days, luckily it wasn't raining during the barbeque on 7th. But I still got wet anyway (you watch out Abi, you watch out...). Boy, now I'm really looking forward to swimming in Li Ann's place. Hopefully my dad will let, but even though it's not at her place, I still want to go swimming. IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, after all. Speaking of which, I just watched a movie late last night called The Holiday. For those clueless, it's about two women who did home exchange: they switched houses, cars, everything. Starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz who play loveless people who just need to get away from their lives during Christmas, only to find...you guessed it...love. It's a really sweet movie. And really fits well at this time since it's the holidays. Heee...

Sweet reminds me of Enchanted. Seriously, for those of you who hasn't watched it, DO SO NOW! It's very very Disney and very very sweet. Come on, simple mathematics: Patrick Dempsey + James Marsden + a really good actress called Amy Adams who is 100% out of a fairytale book = a fairytale story that will make anyone smile. This movie also has great Disney-ish soundtracks that is already a hit on youtube. Really, watch it.

Too bad the sweet, fluffy feeling didn't really last long that day (4th) because someone (I'm not being sarcastic, I really don't know who) thought it would be a brilliant idea to watch Unrest. I spent half the time with my Mat Rempit jacket covering my face. I'm not afraid to admit it: I HATE HORROR MOVIES. I really don't mind the zombies and stuff, but NEVER NEVER NEVER have me watch a ghost horror movie. NEVER. Unrest wasn't really gory or anything, but the sound effects were freaky. They brought out that DUM...DUM...DUM...sound at every given oppurtunity they had and that was freaky. The scenes weren't really that scary though, when you actually watch it. It's just the tension, because you somehow expect some really gruesome ghost pop out of nowhere whenever those sounds come out, but there weren't any in Unrest. Just a lot of blood splurting here and there and bodies lying all over the place, and those are nothing compared to Claymore.

Well, that's it for now. My Undang's coming up soon, either Wednesday or Thursday. Gtg study. Wish me luck!!

First Post

FIRST POST?!?! Are you kidding me??This is awesome.
Hellos everyone, this is my first post here (well, duh) and I would to thank you all who are currently reading this. SPM was just over and I thought, what better time to start a blog? (well, that and the bugging of Hui Leng. *smiles innocently at HL*) This blog will most probably document my transition from a high school student to a college one, as well as ramblings and other random stuff that my random brain needs to pour out in here.

Well, nothing much going on now. But the last few days was really fun (check out Leng's blog if anyone's curious). I went to a wedding dinner yesterday. My dad's aunt's grandson's wedding a.k.a my dad's cousin's son's wedding a.k.a my distant cousin's wedding. Pretty distant, I know. Puh-leez...I don'teven know that guy, haven't seen him in my entire life. But that's normal in chinese wedding dinners. I don't even know 90% of the people attending. Sure, I might have recognized some from previous Chinese New Year annual visits, but apart from them and a few others I saw from my dad's someones's someone's someone's wedding dinner, the other guests are total strangers. And before you start going on about teenagers nowadays who don't care about family relations, let me tell you that my brother also faced the same problem and he's 8 years older than me. Oh come on...I probably only share less than 10% of my DNA with these people...

The one good thing though, was the food. Ok, it wasn't the best out of Jamie Oliver's kitchen, but it's free. 9 dishes altogether, and it was...just plain good. They had the usual four seasons dish, the chicken, (you-know-what) soup, fish, prawns, mushrooms and broccoli, rice and dessert. And chocolates, too. I have around 5 boxes containing two small heart shaped chocs in the fridge right now, and I didn't steal them; the other guests at my table didn't want them. But that's about it, apart from the food, the wedding wasn't really entertaining. They didn't even have performances, only some chinese karaoke every now and then.

Attendin weddings like these make me wonder whether it is really necessary or just for show. I mean, I don't know the groom and I'm chomping down his food. I'm slightly familiar with his mother, but she's not the VVIP here. It may be tradition and all, but come on, I'm not going to pay 70 ringgit per person for some guy I have never met in my life (plus his wife and kids, too). My brother and I agreed: something small, just mom and dad's nuclear family and maybe some others we're familiar with. Mom even said (I don't even think she's kidding) that she's not going to fork out the money for these dinners...we're all on our own. Well then she can say goodbye to the 9 course dinner and hello to PB and J with bread...just kidding...I hope...

Well, then, I guess that this is the end of my FIRST BLOG!!! wahahahahaha...and hopefully next time there'll be some Hui Leng bashing since she so lovingly did it to me in her blog.

Till then, TATA!!
