A Saturday at KLCC

Spent a enjoyable Saturday with mum, aunt and cousins at KLCC yesterday. It was fun, and of course, the oh-so-important factor that I can escape studying for finals. Yay! There's always great food when aunt is around, and we went to Petrosains and Aquaria. Inside Aquaria, everything is so blue and pretty. Though there are a few funny stuffs that I thought are kinda weird to be appearing inside a place called Aquaria. Like bugs and frogs. But never mind that. I took a lot of pictures, and here's some of them. It's better to show than I describe them in words anyway.

Parachutes? Mushrooms? Nah.... just jellyfish

Nemo!

Shark!

Fu yoh... even turtle needs to tan

Fishes everywhere

Curiousity bangs my head against the glass.

I'm falling asleep....

Some kind of beetle that has very shiny body. Oi... did you just polish yourself or what?

Spider, with blue legs. Nice eh?

I'm just too cool for the camera... Seriously. (Jess said that this lizard looks so "yeng", posing like this)

Wei... don't step on me. I'm here, in case you can't see me

Ugh... Can I squeeze in? I'm NOT going to lose in the game of hide-and-seek

Whatcha looking at, dude?

Wee... I'm flying....

Look down at the floor! It's.... starfishes

Stingray... Swimming in the blue, blue water, obviously

Global warming

Honestly speaking, what I have been doing the whole day but loitering and wasting time (or more painfully accurate, trying to escape studying for watashi no finals), well, if it's not those, I really have no idea what I had been doing. Definitely not studying, that's for certain. Supposedly the reason I went to school with Jess and Jen was to study, and what do you know? We ended up taking pictures to make our own short movie, sorta. And then, there's the whole looking at my future house episode, and of course, me stumbling upon the copy of "Yellowpages" that Jess has so kindly brought it back from school for moi. Which eventually, leading me to the urge to type down the issue boring the name "Global warming".

Yo, peeps and homies (ignore the terms I have just learned today, sad, I know), let's talk about our beloved planet and global warming, shall we?

We all know about global warming and its effects. There's excessive hot climate, which leads to warmer ocean, rising of sea-level and flooding because of the melting of Arctic and Antarctic, which then lead to coral bleaching, inconsistent season, and changes in ecosystem. Not to mention that the funny and inconsistent weather will eventually lead to heavy shower, snowfalls, flooding, blazes and droughts. And guess what? The warm temperature actually helps encourage the mozzies, or more frequently known as mosquitoes, to expand their population. Well peeps and homies, ya know what that means? More dengue fever, is all. Icks....

But hey, look on the bright side, with all the steps that the countries and their leaders are taking to recover our ozone, the ozone is actually recovering. Even if that's the case, we should all not slack off. It is of course, our duty to help stop our Earth from warming further. I'm sure it's not a pleasant experience to live in an oven.

The simple things we can do in our daily life to stop contributing to global warming:
-Carpool or take public transport
-Recycle
-Replace old appliances and use compact flourescent bulbs
-Plant trees
And these are the simple things that we always forget.

Oh well, I think I have wasted enough time trying to escape studying for now, so I'm stopping now. But for further information, check out www.climatehotmap.org and StopGlobalWarming.org. That's where the information I read about come from.

In the name of "ego"

To think that a man would stoop as low as to destroy a young girl's reputation just to soothe his own sick ego. I figure this kind of man, he might as well go die and rot in hell. Who would have guess that our society is so corrupted now that this kind of people actually existed?

The story starts like this: An unsuspecting young girl, who is just friendly by nature, was so obviously set up by this sick man. Mentally unstable, is what I call him. Who the hell tells his own friend that he is dating a girl young enough to be his own daughter and is actually proud of it? And to tell the clueless child that he is unmarried when he is obviously married and has three kids of his own? Doesn't he feel sick by spreading rumours like this? Doesn't he feel guilty by destroying the young girl's reputation? And what about the hurt that his stupid rumours have brought to the girl? How is he going to apologize for such a disgusting thing that he had done?

Honestly, that's the sickest thing I have ever encountered so far. And as for the man, who the freaking hell does he think he is? First of all, he is not rich, or handsome, or clever. He's nothing, as far as I'm concerned, but how dare he placed himself in such importance? And to think that there are actually people who believed that the innocent girl really will go out with such a lowlife?

I'm actually so furious with that sick, mentally unstable man, that I can't even put everything down in words properly. Is ego really that important to a man?

Perfume: Story of a murderer

I have only compliments for this movie. To me, it's absolutely beautiful, the storyline, that's it. I don't regret spending my six bucks on it. And what's more, it reminds me of a part of me that I have nearly forgotten. The reason I decided to choose English Language as my degree course.

The storyline is no doubt interesting. It might be a little cruel, to kill young women in such a twisted, disgusting way to perserve their scents, but somehow, I didn't find the movie repulsive. And some of the scenes are a little too exaggerated, and maybe a little too much flesh, if you get what I mean, but I really like the movie.

The movie started with someone narrating it. There wasn't really a lot of conversation, but mainly the story progressed by narration. At first, I thought I was the only weird one who thought the movie is good, but turned out that Zaza and Mishel also love it. Oh well....

Ah... this is lame. To think I aspire to be a writer. Here I am, totally pathetic, I can't even describe the movie and my feelings about it properly. But I'm really glad I went for the movie. I had my fun, and it did served to remind me of the passion I have for literature and language that Mr. Anba had helped me discover. I have nearly forgotten about it after all.

Hitz.fm 10th Birthday Bash

Starstruck, and totally high.... are what I'm feeling right now.

Just came back from Hitz.FM 10th Birthday Bash, and all I can say is, AWESOME!!!! Despite the trouble that I went through for it, it was totally worth it. I met JJ, Rudy, Serena C, Ean, Andy, Pop Shuvit, K-Town Clan, and Jason Lo. It was so.... exhilarating. Zaza and I went crazy over them, totally starstruck, asking to snap pictures with all the DJs, VJs and the celebrities there.

It rained when it was the beginning of the party, but thankfully it stopped after a short drizzle. It will be such a sad case if the rain continued. The performances were great, through I didn't finish watching all ther performances. There were Gerhana Ska Cinta, Dragon Red, One Buck Short, K-Town Clan, J.Lo, Pop Shuvit, Reshmonu, and some other local bands. And I'm proud to say, Malaysian bands can definitely match up to the foreign bands. They are good. The bands that I think are good are Pop Shuvit and K-Town Clan. I totally love them, and I almost screamed my lungs out when they got on stage. They are just way good.

The downside of this party is well, I didn't get to see Jason Lo perform. It was so sad. We were scared that we wouldn't be able to get back, so we left early. And also me not being able to get the signatures from K-Town Clan. I am utterly heartbroken. I was only a few places away from getting my poster sign. Sigh.... and of course, the smokers that just have to kill other people's lungs as well as their own. Selfish creatures.

Overall, it was a great night. Inhaling the smoke and bearing the pain in my heels are totally worth it. If next year Hitz's birthday bash is going to be around PJ, I will definitely go again, despite having to risk bursting my eardrums. My ears still feel kinda funny from the loud music from the party. But I'm not regretting it. Not even a second of it.

Me, Jess, Zaza, Jen and Ah Zhong

A memorable day

Today is certainly a memorable day. A day that surely when I look back someday in the future, I will have a laugh over it. What started as a stupid day ends equally stupid, only in a different way.

The stupid starting was, of course, the web page design second test. Boy, I screwed up. But it's nobody's fault but mine, since I didn't study hard at all, and of course, no big surprise when I couldn't answer my fill-in-the-blank questions. But never mind. I'll get over it, I always do.

After the test, I went to see this house that, IF everything goes right, I will move into. Personally I really love the environment, though there are doubts about how I'm going to get food and how to go to school. But I figure it could be solved, I hope. I really don't feel like living in MC all alone if all my friends are gone.

Then we went to Mid Valley. Zaza and I watched a movie, The Reaping. At first we wanted to watch Perfume, but since no student price, and since moi is totally, utterly broke, we decided to leave it for another day. It was a good movie, though the story is kinda predictable in the horror cliche way. And the girl is so pretty.

We also went to FOS to try on clothes. Fell in love with this kimono-style top, and also this red stretchy top, with lime green skirt. I was so tempted to buy, uh.... the temptation is definitely there, but I'm proud to say, I resisted. Thus saving another forty bucks. Am I good or what?

Now we come to the sad part. We were about to go home, and what do you know? The line waiting for taxi is sooooooooooooooooooo very long. And there isn't many taxi. Yeah well, one will slowly crawl in after like twenty minutes or something. Not that I actually calculated. We thought of going back by bus, but there was no Rapid KL. We ended up taking Metro 98. Luckily there was this guy, who is also staying in MC, and we just pathetically followed him back. Sad, really. And we have to walk for quite a distance from where the bus stopped.

What turned out to be a fun day, well, is still fun. I have my fun, but my legs feel as though they are going to fall off if I turn away from them for even a second. Maybe not so serious, but you get my point. This is actually the first time that we ended up so sadly after a day of shopping. Oh well.... like I said, a memorable day.

Have a little love

People, have a little love! Not for yourself, and certainly not for the greens that turned everything evil. Have a little love for all those breathing things that happened to occupy the same planet as us. Yes, I mean the animals and plants.

It's so sad, really. I mean, with all those pollutions, and like that isn't bad enough. We are killing off our fellow friends(meaning plants and animals) with our greed. All those animals being killed for trading. For luxuries. And for food. How low have we become. We are absolute monsters, when God supposedly gave us the intelligence among all the others. And what did we do with the intelligence we have? We destroy the nature, that's what.

Reading in the newspaper or in the internet about how the animals are being hunted, even if they are almost extinct, is so sad. And also the trees being brought down. Just today I read in the papers about people hunting for seahorses for all kind of purposes. Imagine killing off the poor, helpless creatures. God, they can't even stop themselves from being swept away by strong currents in the water. What have they against the evil human beings so set to capture them for their own greed? Nothing, nothing at all. And a few days ago I also read this article about developers trying to bring down those century-old of Tualang Trees. Why can't people just leave them alone and appreciate the beauty in them?

No doubt that they are some people out there doing something to help save the animals and plants and our beloved planet. But it seems that the effort isn't enough. I wish though I can play a part. Easier said than done. Well, maybe it's necessary to have some of the trees and everything to be cut down in order for civilization, but sometimes I wish we are not destroying the nature. There's really too much of beauty in this world to be destroyed by pollutions and the likes.

The Last Assignment and Presentation

We finished out last assignment and presentation today. This morning. 9.30 am.

It was kind of funny, because technically, I didn't do or contribute anything for this assignment. Imagine me going up to start saying something that I don't even understand, trying to present it so that my tutor and my classmates will understand. Ah.... the ironies. Never mind that. After we hand in our assignment report and everything, that will wrap up all the assignments and presentations I have for this foundation.

Which reminds me, the end is near. I'm finishing my foundation in a month time. It will be kind of sad, I have grown kinda attached to my classmates, not all of them, but some. I feel that it will be quite lonely to start my degree without any of them there to brighten my days up. And of course, not to mention all those other friends that I have made and grown close to in this short period of time. Especially those no longer going to stay in PJ. I wonder how life will be different from now.

Part of me still can't believe that I'm going to finish my foundation already. It seems just like yesterday, as cliche as it sounds, that I had just started foundation and thinking about whether I had made the wrong decision by coming here. I still wonder about it sometimes when I think back about all those things that I have left behind. It's only a moment during that time, that I felt rebelious for all that my parents had promised and failed to give, but then again, I have to go with it. I cannot say I totally regretted coming with this decision, but still there's always the other road that I didn't choose.

Oh well, I guess there's always the new start, when the old stuff ends.
