To a very great friend...
One that, by fate, got stuck with me for 5 years in DJ,
And though her evilness has caused some disfunction in my psychology in later years,
And invisible bruises to my very fragile ribs,
And her short jokes has trampled my ego,
But her never-ending tales of fantasy,
And countless role-playing games,
And jokes that make your sides ache,
And companionship (face-to-face or msn) has kept me away from the shores of boredom,
And imagination which knows no boundaries nor logic that keeps me away from harsh realities of life,
And best of all; friendship,
Has made me grateful for the last five years...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUI LENG!!!
(Hui Leng if you find this cheesy...I hope you don't kill me *big puppy eyes*)

HO-HO-HOLIDAYS
It's the HOLIDAAAAAAAYS lolz
ARGH, but what 'wonderful' timing (vision it with a super sarcastic british accent), just when im starting my holidays, the rest of the bimbo gang are getting reading to start college/school. So...I have pretty much nothing to do until next week when Kean Lee finishes his exams. Darn it... And yeah, gotta make Kean Lee the priority here because the movie that was planned to be watch next is...WANTED. The trailer looks really really awesome and I can't wait to see Angelina Jolie in gun-action. Hooray!
July has so many nice movies coming out...out of them the ones that I want to watch most would be...The Dark Knight and Hancock. Wohooouuu...hooray for superhero movies!!! I think the Dark Knight would be so cool, judging from its trailer. YAY! And Heath Ledger's Joker looks down right evil. Might give me nightmares...
Well, well, now for assignment update. I'm done with most of my assignments and finals. Advertising Exam, Final Presentation (topic on human disasters, my group and i did on Sampoong Department Store collapse), Final Drawing (Batman Begins poster)are done and over with. All that's left is a line portrait of Angelina Jolie. Yay!
That's about it...I don't really know what I'm going to do with two weeks of holidays, with everyone busy with college/school work I don't think outings are possible, but I'll give it a try.
I have lots of time to try anyway.
Laa...
Oh yeah...again, I'm severely hurt that 14 people voted me the root of all evil. (Hui Leng confessed to being resposible for a considerable amount of those votes) WHYYYYY!?!?!?!? I'm so good and kind and innocent and helpful and nice and lovely and chun-tastic and...humble...*puppy eyes*
Just so you know, I voted for Barney. He gives me nightmares. Well, 'gave' me nightmares. Grrr...
BUT WHY!?!?!?! WHY ME?!?!?! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?!?! *breaks down and cries uncontrollably*
You will pay for your crimes. Rawr!
bla~
Random Quote: Male cheerleaders have more balls than other guys,
...and you don't need boobs or PMS to cheer.

meeting a long lost friend
OMG!!!
When I went downstairs to my college foyer to check out the food that are being sold by the Student Council, I met the one of the people that I LEAST EXPECT!!!
ALVINA!!! OMGOMGOMG!!!
She was from my primary school (SKDJ) and was one of my bestest friends. After primary, I heard she went to Tropicana while I went to SMKDJ, and I sort of lost touch with her. OMG I so totally did not expect to see her!!! AHHHHH I'm SOSOSOSOSO happy, it just sorta proves kalau orang ada jodoh, tentu akan bertemu lagi. My gosh, she told me that she saw me a few times already, but I didn't say 'hi' or anything, so she didn't know whether I was really me or someone that looks like me. Haha, then she came up to me and said 'Hey, are you Ken Hui?' And that was when I looked at her and my brain just went 'OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGAHHHHHHH' and my mouth opened so big you could fit a car into it. 'ALVINA?!?!' I was so surprised to see her. There were so many times when I wondered where she was and where could she be, and now she's in my very college!!
And it so totally made my day, I can't wait to meet up and chat and catch up on things...
So for now, Tata!

Movies that I've watched in 2008
OKAY...this is just for my own use only...to keep track of what movies I watched in what sequence. Don't ask why, I just like keeping lists of stuff.
2008
Jumper (February)
The Spiderwick Chronicles (February)
The Water Horse (March)
Nim's Island (April)
Indiana Jones (May)
Kung Fu Panda (June)
Hancock (July)
The Dark Knight (July)
Babylon AD (August)
Wall-E (August)
I think that's it so far...
Seems that I only watch one movie per month...but then again...my monthly allowance wouldn't be enough to cover more than one outing per month
BTW, my birthday is tomorrow, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNY -from your 3 1/2 hours younger version of yourself-
