Right... end of 2008.
Honestly, it just struck me that I have lived for two decades and I haven't really achieve anything significant. And when I put it that way... well, I feel very old and not very helpful.
-.-'''
Anyways, reviewing back to my 2008's resolution, I am very ashamed to say that I have failed in keeping every one of them. I did try to keep them halfway, and I blame it on my bad memory (no, really!!) that I forgot about them halfway through.
Okay, fine, lack of determination is more like it.
I should probably keep my new resolution to more well, realistic (to moi) things.
2008... I can't really remember anything significant happening, well, other than the one time I screwed up quite majorly and I still can't quite forgive myself for that screw-up. And my CGPA going up and down like a roller coaster. And I can't remember much of what I have learned now that I am all done with this year's lessons. And I still haven't quite step out of my comfort zone. And I still haven't decide on what to do in the future.
Right, seriously... when I put all that down, I really really REALLY feel I haven't achieve anything yet. And I already feel so old.
Sigh...
Oh well, goodbye 2008. I hope 2009 will be a great start and a wonderful year. Maybe my horoscope will be accurate for once. Lol!

The new PPG
Okay, I know I am a lil too old to be watching Cartoon Network, but then again, I was bored, and channel surfing provided some entertainment.
And so, I was channel surfing yesterday because it was one of those rare moments that I managed to actually find the TV not being watched by someone and I have total control over the remote control. So of course I took the opportunity to jajah the TV.
But unfortunately for me, the morning programs were just pretty boring. Didn't even have music videos that I wanted to watch. Thus the whole channel surfing started. And when I got to Cartoon Network, I saw the title Powerpuff Girls Z. My first thought was "Huh? Z?"
My curiosity got the best of me, not to mention my boredom too. So I settled down comfortably in the sofa and waited patiently for the PPG Z to start. Not like I have much to do anyways, so when the show started, I was kinda er.... speechless.
First of all, the people are anime-like. Okay, I have no prob to it, I am a fan of anime anyways. You know, the whole cutesy kind of look, huge glittering eyes etc etc. And then, the PPG suddenly grown taller. Well, not that much taller anyways, but if you remember the old version, they are tiny lil midgets. Not to mention quite 2D too, but the new PPG is 3D.
And then came the awful part. The storyline was a bit different, and the girls were so.... girly. Gosh... Even Buttercup. And guess what? They go through the transformation thing, something like Sailormoon! They even have the short skirt thingy going on.
Needless to say, I was horrified beyond belief. I guess kids nowadays need lotsa details to attract them? But seriously, I still think the old 2D PPG is much cuter.

My name
I got this from Lynda's blog. And it seems fun, so yeah.
What's my name's hidden meaning?
Apparently, I am spontaneous and whimsical. Okay... I hope my whimsical is more towards amusing than annoying.
You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.
Restless... check. A lot of questions about life... check. I am not sure about the others. Yes, I am comfortable away from home, and yes, I can be passionate when it comes to the things that I like, probably easily tempted too, but so far I haven't gotten into serious trouble yet. And I guess I like to travel, but I don't enjoy the part where I am stuck in bus or car or aeroplane.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
Irresponsible... yeah, sometimes.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
True true, though I'm not really sure about that unpredictable part.
You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.
Wow... I definitely wish I have these qualities. But sadly, I don't think I never give up, especially if it takes a hundred tries. Or maybe I just haven't had the experience to do something a hundred times yet.
You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.
Hmm... solid and dependable. I bet my parents will say otherwise. And about the pressure part, I guess it is kind of true, though probably not enough that it brings out the best (or worst, depends on one's own interpretation) in me.
You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.
I am really not sure about the communication part. I don't think I am a very social person, and I often have hard time talking to new people. Creative, yes, I supposed, when it comes to writing. But if it's art, well, if you have ever seen my masterpiece, you will be shocked into speechless-ness. And the chameleon part... reminds me of "I'll possess! I'll possess!" -.-'''
You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.
Original! Wow... I love that. Lol. And I guess I took the wrong course. Should have been involved in business instead of language.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
Oh... this is definitely me. Right down to the point.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
Overactive imagination, why, thank you. I always thought that's one of my strongest points.
You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.
This makes me sound a lil like a hermit, but I guess if I am deeply philosophical, thoughtful and brilliant, I can excuse the fact that the whole paragraph makes me sound like a hermit.
And then there's another one. What does your name say about you? I like this one, it's short and straight to the point.
Your name says that you are mostly:
Dynamic but aggressive
Your name also says you are:
Passionate but flighty
Perceptive but paranoid
Talented but unmotivated

Cooking
So, this is what one did at home during holiday with nothing much to do.
Apparently, my sis has decided to take over the role of cooking from my mum. It is probably something I should mention first, my sis is as much of a cook as I am. Which is not much because, seriously, I am too lazy to learn how to cook, or even prepare the food. If one day I have to cook my own meals in order to survive, I suspect that I might just perish from the hunger.
So anyways, I asked my sis the motivation behind her sudden burst of enthusiasm to learn how to cook. And guess what? Apparently she figured that she is going to leave home for college soon, and since she always hear me complaining that I have no food to eat when I am in PJ, she decided to learn how to cook in order to feed her tummy in the future.
Yeah, so I think I might be her motivation. Though I should probably tell her it is because I don't have the patient to cook, and that I am a picky eater, that's why I always end up hungry.
But I digress. At least now I have someone who will willingly cook spaghetti for me, with lotsa tomato sauce and mushroom.
My sis's cooking is okay... Trial and error kind. One time her dish will be awesome, the other, not so bearable. Not to mention that she is kinda bad at estimating the amount of food that she should prepare, but she's improving. One time, when I managed to bug her to cook spaghetti for me, she only cooked two people's portion. And so, my bro had to wait for my sis and I to finish our spaghetti before we cooked another round for him, because we were too hungry to be decent and cook his meal for him first.
It was funny to watch my sis experiment, though sometimes the outcome is not so edible. My bro seems to be doing all the preparing of, as he himself called it, "raw material", for my sis to cook. Personally, I think it's not really helping THAT much that my sis knows how to cook, but she doesn't know how to choose a fresh piece of fish or veg. That job belongs to my mum. The cutting up fishes, garlic, etc etc, belongs to my bro. My sis, she just cooks and cleans the wok. And me, I eat and give comment.
Ah well... as long as I don't have to clean up.

Tagged
Hai, Farah-chan, I'll do the tag. I wanted to do the previous one actually, been leaving it till I run out of stuff to do, but then after that I guess I sorta forgot about it. Lol. Anyways...

20. And I am not going to tag anyone because most probably, people are just not gonna do it anyways.
Holiday! Here I come
The last paper ended at 11.30, and I couldn't be any happier, despite my tired right hand.
*grins*
Anyways, despite the panicking and the foreboding that my this sem result might not be good, I am determined to have a good holiday. Well... as good as a holiday can be with all the lazying and brain-rotting process. I am determined to be lazy, by playing lotsa games, and watching lotsa anime. Maybe read some books, okay, who am I kidding, I probably will be reading lotsa novels, whether thriller or horror or suspense or romance. In fact, I got four books from library just now, let's just hope that I don't forget to renew them or else the fine is going to seriously burn a hole in my wallet.
After the paper, we went to attend a creative writing workshop organised by MPH. It was fun, the speaker was the editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest Asia, and well, the talk was entertaining and enlightening despite the rain outside that made me sleepy. And surprisingly, the room was filled. I wasn't expecting so many people, but obviously I was wrong. Oh well....
And again, I want to say that I will miss my Japanese class with Mr. Naha, because without his class my Japanese is probably going to go down the drain. Again. And also Mr. David's class. If I have never said how cute and adorable he is, let me reinforce this point by reenacting a scene while we were in the workshop just now.
During the break, seven students took the opportunity to flock to their lecturer.
Zaza: Mr David!
Mr. David: Fancy seeing you guys here.
(Okay, I'm gonna fast forward to the scene where I find it so adorable instead of writing out every word we said.)
Mr. David: What are you guys going to do during the holiday?
Me: I'm gonna laze around and download lotsa anime to watch!
Mr. David: Oh... where do you download your anime? Free?
See! Isn't he adorable? And when we asked him if he watches anime, he looked embarrassed and admitted that he did watch anime, though only a couple. And when we said our "Happy holiday" to him, he gave us a cute ke lian face and said he doesn't have holiday, at least not until the end of the month.
Lol!
Okay, I'm actually high now because of the cake and the fact that exam is over now. And also the jokes I read in library and the eye candy that happened to be in the library too. But mainly just sugar and the joy of finishing exam.
Oh! And I received an adorable mirror in the shape of chocolate cookies from Pei Ling for Xmas... :)

The annoying girl
Honestly, I am not a big fan of travelling by bus. All the more if I am alone, which is always the case when I'm travelling back and forth between KL and BP. I can't sleep in the bus, because I am a very difficult person, I need my pillow, blanket and bed in order to sleep, and I can't really do anything else except listen to my MP3. Well, I can read, but most of the time I got bored after half an hour, and the journey is more than three hours, so yeah, that sort of entertainment doesn't last long.
And I like to point out that I don't think I am a violent person, though Joshua and Sal will say otherwise. It's just that, I know, this is a bad excuse, that I am not a very touchy-feely person. I'm not very comfortable with people touching me, eg. hugs, and I don't really like it if people that I don't really know come into my personal space (sitting too close is something that icks me out very much, so you can imagine the situation when I am in LRT or bus during rush hour). Anyways, as I am saying, people who I am most comfortable with probably received most of my sarcasm and my occasional burst of violence.
But I have never, EVER had the urge to want to smack a little girl so much. And that was what I was feeling when I was in the bus home yesterday from BP.
It just so happened that sitting behind me were two little girls. The elder sis was probably around, 8 or 9. And the younger sis, 5 or 6. When I realised they were sitting behind me, some sixth sense told me that this is not going to be a pleasant bus ride. But I digress. It was not polite of me to form bad impression on the younger sis when I had only knew of her existence for a grand total of 5 minutes.
So the two girls came up the bus with their grandma. They were noisy, and I couldn't help hearing that the younger sis insisted on going to the toilet right after they landed their butts on the seats. The grandma was surprised, because apparently they just came back from the toilet. But no, the lil girl insisted that she needed to go to the toilet, so off they went, thus delaying the bus for 10 mins.
I digressed. It's okay, I thought. It's not like the bus always leaves punctually.
During the bus trip, since I couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep, I decided to finish reading "The return". And like it was not boring enough that I was reading that novel, the lil girl had to be creepy by poking her head between the seats, and peering over my shoulder, trying to read what I was reading. No offense, but seriously, kepoh much? Hello, like you know how to read? And it's rude to be doing that. Not to mention that her presence was making me lose concentration.
I got hungry after I finished reading, so I took out my snack to eat. Okay, this is probably not very generous of me, but then again, remember, I don't like that lil girl. So while I was eating, again, she poked her head in between the seats and started to talk to her sis. Telling her sis that she wants to eat whatever I am eating. Telling her grandma that she MUST have what I am eating.
So the sis and the grandma tried their best to persuade her that she can have some bread first to fill her tummy if she is hungry. But no, she wants snack. So she started wailing, and it took a while for her grandma and sis to shut her up.
And you would have thought, peace, AT LAST. NO. She starting asking if they are reaching already. In a LOUD voice. So the grandma told her that, no, we still have another hour and a half to go. Then she started wailing again, saying why it took so long to reach KL. Again, the grandma and sis had to calm her down in order not to disturb the other passengers.
The bus stopped for toilet, and so most of the passengers went down. I had no idea what happened because I was one of the first to get off the bus, and also one of the first to get back into the bus. The annoying girl and her grandma and sis walked back in. After the sis and grandma settled down, the girl started bugging them about the snack again. She insisted that they all go down to get her snack, and it took the grandma a while to shut her up.
Luckily, the lil girl shut up before the bus left, if not, I have the urge to encourage her to go look for the snack herself and hopefully leave her and let everyone else have some peace.
Nothing much happened after we left the reststop, except that the annoying lil girl won't shut her mouth. I kept hearing her talking this and that, asking annoying questions like are we there yet? Why does it take so long? to both her sis and grandma.
And then we were finally in KL. When the bus turned into Jalan Hang Tuah, we got stuck in a very bad jam. The bus was literally crawling, and like that wasn't annoying enough, the bloody girl had to start crying. The reason for her crying was not even a reasonable one. Apparently, she started hitting her sis, for whatever reason, and her grandma told her not to hit her sis anymore. Her grandma didn't even scold her, just told her gently that it is not right to hit her sis, and then she started crying already.
For God's sake, like it's not frustrating enough to be stuck in a jam. I could see the expression on the driver's face through the rear mirror, and it was one of annoyance. So the grandma tried to stop the girl from crying, and after ten minutes of crying, she started demanding that her sis apologised to her while continuing her cry. APOLOGISE! Like it was her sis's fault that she was crying.
So the grandma had no choice but to ask the sis to apologise. The sis insisted that it was not her fault, but the grandma insisted that she apologised just to shut her up, so she did. BUT the lil girl did not shut up either. She continued crying, demanding that the sis apologised, even though she already did. At that time, I felt like there is no other person that needed a good slapping in the whole wide world more than that girl.
Then, as her crying continued to fill the bus, the bus suddenly stopped. The engine stopped working, and the bus driver tried restarting it. A few failed attempts, but the bus started again. At this time, we were still stuck in Jalan Hang Tuah. Luckily, the bus managed to work till it finally died at the middle of the road where we always get off. Except that we had to walk 10 mins to reach Pudu. So I guess it was a blessing that the bus died so near Pudu instead of in the middle of the highway or something.
The driver told us that we would have to walk, and most immediately left the bus. Who wouldn't? Even if it's just to get away from the bloody girl?
And so, that was the end of the journey. And I had to walk half an hour to reach Pasar Seni, because the bus always stops at the other end of Pudu.
Seriously, how is it that I always seemed to have misfortune when it comes to bus trip?

Vampire? Bah...
Because I am a procastinator, I went and watched 'Twilight' today with Ling after promising myself, yesterday, that I will start my studying today.
Oh yeah, that's how I work.
Anyways, I don't find the movie satisfying. After reading the book, which I think is good, the movie pales in comparison. The dialogues were long but choppy, just bits and parts from the book (of course), and well, I thought the movie was just plain boring.
And it didn't help that I kept hearing my sis telling her friend that she wants to sleep.
The casts are made up of pretty pretty people. Even the bad guys look pretty decent. And well, to be honest, the characters aren't exactly what I envisioned. Especially the bad guys, James and Victoria. I seriously have this picture of them looking dirty and crazy, but well, James is kinda hot in the weird half lunatic kinda way, and Victoria is just pretty. In fact, so much prettier than I expected that her appearance kinda erm, stunned me.
After watching the movie, well, when I was reading the book, Bella and Edward's love was still okay to me. At least in the book I can sorta see how their relationship progressed, it took time, but yeah, I can accept that they found some eternal love/soul mate thingy. But in the movie, everything is just so choppy and moves so fast (I know, it's a movie!) that at the end of it, when Bella said she wants to live forever with Edward (or something like that) I find myself being sceptical and cynical about it. Like love like that actually happens in a blink of the eye.
Oh well... I guess I'm more of a reader then. But I have to say, I agree with Ling's opinion about how movies like these are only for fans of the books.
At least the casts are good looking. It's worth the money to go watch pretty people since I haven't seen many lately.
