This is incredibly saddening.
Heath Ledger has died.
Of course, I didn't only know JUST now, I'm not that backwards.
I'm not really a fan of him, but I do acknowledge that he is a good actor. I guess the one thing that shook me, and the world, the most was that his death was so unexpected. Like all of a sudden, POOF! If it were any other celebs *cough*britney*cough*...well you know.
And he lost his life at the peak of his career. How unfortunate, to lose your life just when it's just about to start.
My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, as well as all his fans around the world.

Meteorology
I. Can't. Wait. To. Move. Out.
Hello folks, it seems that today is going to be another gloomy day, with the expected 'complaining parents' just starting to fall and we won't be expecting it to stop soon, but keep your hopes up.
If I had a computer in my room, I would stay there the whole day and never come down.
Today seems a vast difference from yesterday, where the predicted 'fun' and 'friends' shone down brightly, stretching even longer than expected. Yes, folks down at SS2, particularly the Swenson's area experienced the predicted 'happiness' and 'cheer', rounded off with a cool 'ice-cream' but there were some harsh 'accidents' that even the experts didn't expect. However, they were minor and everything returned to normal.
Why can't they just leave my stuff alone? It's not like my stuff are the only things on the table.
Tomorrow, I foresee 'fun', 'friends' and a 'bloody good time'. Also, I give you my word that tomorrow will have 'homework' but don't worry folks, we'll get to that when the time comes.
It's like a syndrom or something. Complaints will always come when someone gets the House Cleaning Virus.

randomness
HIHI!!! I'm currently listening to Westlife (Unbreakable Hits) which puts me in such a good mood that I thought I'd blog about last week. Soo...brace yourself...Ready? SET GO!!!
Well, nothing much happened last week. Owh, I forgot to mention that I saw another ex-DJian at IACT...Shwu Mei!!! Which is incredibly cool, because we have been in the same school since primary! She's in IAA, same class as Cheryl and Elaine (new friends), but we share some classes.
Owh, and my Computer Graphics class is COOL...We're just learning how to use Adobe, the functions, shortcut keys and everything. We haven't really started doing anything yet. And the first homework Mr. Low gave was to draw two A4 sized tribal tattoos. How cool is that? It's a bit hard, have to find the perfect picture to "tribal-ize" but I'm lovin' it! I've made a few designs so far, and I'll put the pix up as soon as I find out how to upload it onto my computer first, before uploading it here.
I'm also currently addicted to Naruto Shippuuden. Finally, I can understand the bits and pieces of previously incomprehensible conversations between Abi and Leng. YAY!! Btw, I went to my Grandparent's house a couple of days ago, and showed my young cousins my tribal-ized Kyuubi, which started a drawing frenzy; they started taking out pieces of paper and made me draw pictures from them. I drew a lamey Kakashi, Naruto, Pikachu and I traced the Kyuubi for them. My Kakashi and Naruto looked lamey because I didn't really have a pic to refer to, and I was pretty lazy to draw it properly, but still the kids were like "Waaaahhh...gimme gimme, I waaannnt..." Haha, it's so easy to please little children.
Okays, I gotta go. I still have Practical 3 from Computer Applications to finish. Ciaoz.

DGD02 (January)
Officially started my Graphics Design course today. Yesterday was just orientation. It was just Jia Huey and I, but we'll be joining an earlier batch later, so that'll be 8 in the class altogether. Today, ust did a bit of stuff on Microsoft Word, like how to use the features there and all. Nothing fancy, available on everyone's Microsoft Word, unless you got the really old version of it.
Next driving day would most prob be on Fri or Sun
Mixes feelings about it. I hope I can get the clutch/oil pedal thing right.
Kies. Chaos, me gtg do homework. T.T

Driving: Day 2
WOOHOO!!! I DROVE MYSELF HOME!!! Well, actually the guy gave me directions, but it still counts. Made a few mistakes again, the same clutch/oil pedal thing. Haihz, but I'm certain with a little bit of practice, I'll be as good as Micheal Schumacher (sp?)... OKOK...at least as good as my dad. The guy was going crazy...hehe...can't say I blame him. 'Haiyo...don't release clutch so fast mar...' and 'Seelah, you ah...' and 'Why you ah...drive middle road wan??' were common during that heart-wretching drive. But anyway, not like he's mistake-free...he doesn't even wear his seatbelt. And on the way back, some traffic police were 'saman'ing some guy, I went like 'OMGOMG, please don't 'tahan' me...' Not only that, when I was on a busy junction, that guy's phone rang, AND HE PICKED IT UP!! I'm just a beginner on the road, and I wasn't sure when to turn, and the guy focused his attention somewhere else? Luckily one kind soul, while overtaking my car, sort of waved his hand to signal that I could go. Thank goodness for him. ISH...scared me like crap.
But anyway, I made it back SAFELY...that's what counts. I still have my limbs and my legs still work, and so does my heart (phew~)
If I survive the next few weeks, I'll let you know.

Driving and teachers
Had my first driving lesson today. The guy drove me to some empty lot and taught me to drive round. It was harder than I expected. The driving wasn't so bad, but it was the clutch/oil pedal thing that I had trouble with. I killed the poor car's engine like...5 times. T.T Scared the poor instructor like mad. Haha. That guy another thing, when I was circling the lot, he was busy sorting out his bills and paperwork and not really paying attention to my driving. What the heck? He only looked up once a while.
Then later my dad took me to the bookshop to buy EST textbook to replace the SPBT one I lost last year. Then he drove me to school to return it, and then I had to look for the teacher. Had to ask around a few times before I found her in one of the labs, handing out the free textbooks to the Form 3s. After all that effort, one would expect a little appreciation and gratitute for returning, but instead, I got shouted at in front of the students. Something about not having the time to 'layan' me and have to sign this sign that. It took me all I had not to shout back at her. HELLO~? I had to go all the way to the bookshop, then pay for the book, then go all the way to school to return it, then search for her all over the place, and THIS IS THE KIND OF TREATMENT I GET?? If I wanted to I could've just 'forgotten' about it and leave her to deal with it. But I didn't, because I thought that it wasn't right to do it, because well, it was my responsibility since I lost it. But what did I get in return?? A scolding for not returning on time. SHE was the one that said I can return it when school starts. It not my fault when I arrive at the time when she's busy. After all, I didn't anticipate any of that. Instead of being appreciated for my efforts, I get a scolded for coming to her at a bad time. How was I to know? I admit that I'm wrong for losing the book, but I already took responsibility of that by replacing one. She wasn't scolding me for losing the book anyway, but for coming to her at a time where she was busy. Then when I tried to explain that she told me before that I could return it when school reopens, she then said I was trying to put the blame on her. WTH? Seriously, people like that won't listen to a thing you have to say, no matter how innocent you are. It took me all I had to hold back my anger. And imagine, in front of the Form 3s? So much for being a 'contoh' to the juniors, huh? But I hope that that would be a lesson to them not to poke a dragon in the eye, even though the poke is to warn the dragon that its tail is on fire.
Sheesh, which goes to show, honesty is NOT always the best policy. And this happens just when I'm starting to miss her and attending her classes.
Couldn't she just tell me NICELY that she was busy, then tell me when I can come back to return the book? Or give me another alternative that suits the both of us? Or tell me what I can do to make the job easier? Apparently I need to sign something, can't she tell me what I'm supposed to do to complete the process?
This reminds me of someone that I met in the bookshop when I was buying the book, who is a total opposite. A lady came in and told me that she was selling some stuff for charity, and whether I wanted to buy anything. She told me that politely, and had a nice smile on her face. Even though I politely refused, she still had a big smile on her face and bowed her head slightly, I could see it in her eyes that she was sincere. Then she later asked a woman, who just waved her hand and walked off, but the lady still smiled politely and thanked her. It made me feel slightly sorry that I couldn't buy any of her stuff. It's people like that that makes me smile, knowing that the world still has politeness among those 'I-am-busy-don't-bother-me' people. And to think that she was doing this for charity, she wasn't going to get any profit from it, makes me marvel at her patience and kindness.
For the new year, I strive to be as patient and kind as she is. Thank you, lady, for setting a good example.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Now that it's the beginning of the new year, let all the bad experiences in the past be washed away by the winds of time along with 2007, and welcome the future that is 2008. May there be peace, happiness and joys for the new year!!!
And now on to the new year resolutions. Well, I haven't really given much thought about it, but these are the basics:-
#Have fun
#Be *ahem* more hardworking
#Keep my room clean
#Make friends
#Keep the old ones
#PARTAAAYY!!!
*owh wait...that isn't really a resolution...owh well...*
#Be more careful on spending money $$$
#Spend more time studying and less time entertaining *don't bet on it, though*
#Be more involved in societies, socialize around
#Work off my big butt
Speaking of which, I celebrated the new year with Li Ann and Kevin last night, and while 'lepak'-ing around 1 Utama we came along the massaging machines and saw the machine where you stand on this platform and the platform will vibrate. Kevin and I stood on it and played with the machine until we we stood on solid ground, our legs were still feeling the effects of the vibration. Hahahaa...and can see people's butt vibrating when they stand on it...so geli...
Then we went walking around some more and went to Starbucks. I bought a...something Americano, forgot what it was called, but it tasted YUCK!! It was just plain coffee and ice, I couldn't stand it. Maybe I'm just too used to the coffee at the mamak stall or the chinese cafe, but it tasted so bitter I couldn't stand drinking it. I gave the rest to Kevin. Wasted like 9 bucks. Gosh.
Then I got a call from Leng telling us that she was at the rooftop, so we went there. Goodness, spend like...30 minutes running here and there searching for her, because 1 Utama itself has many rooftops, accessible only by a few staircases. Then we finally gave up looking for her and just enjoyed the fireworks. Tried to take some pictures, but fireworks have a way of not showing up nicely on phone cameras. Sigh.
Owh btw, I went to that shop Leng told me about, and they did have some really cool designs, but too bad, all in size 37, no 36. And 37 really looks awkward on my feet, like Ronald McDonald's oversized shoes. ISHHHHH...Looks like 2008 will be a new-sneaker-less year. Darn.
Owh yea...we saw Gene Harn, too. He thought I went NS. -_-"
Well, that's it then.
So once again...
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
Have A Joyful 2008!!!
