And so Muka Buku cost me my 5 marks in my MMS midterm. Shit.
I don't even want to think about News Corporation and 911.
And now that is over, moving on to Sociolinguistic assignment (Die!) and Language Teaching assignment (Gag me!).

The art of socialising
Is something that I definitely don't have.
Today, there was a group of Japanese students from Kyoto University in my uni, visiting. Apparently, that was their graduation trip, and all I can say is "Sweet! To have a graduation trip away from where you are from." Imagine the culture and all the other junks that you don't see in textbooks.
Anyways, a bunch of us went there to meet up with them, but when we got there, we found out that we weren't actually officially invited. In fact, we were sort of crashing people's party, though of course, when we realised that the party hadn't started yet.
But the lecturers were kind enough to let us in. They were friendly, asking us to not be shy and just go in and interact with the Japanese students. Because really, that's what we were there for.
But then, instead of socialising, I had felt kinda awkward, since I couldn't really stop thinking about crashing the party. And when I got into the room, I stood there like a deer caught in headlights, while watching my friends worked their charms on the Japanese students and striking up conversation after conversation.
It's safe to say that I took one look at the small, crowded room, the group of people talking, and the feeling as though I can't really breathe properly in the crowd and small room, and made a quick decision that I had to get out of there.
Well... the breathing part was probably due to my own imagination, but then again, I tend to feel as though I can't breathe properly when I am in a crowded place.
So much for my attempt to socialise. Seriously, I can't imagine how I am going to survive once I am out of the safe circle of my current life once I venture into the working world, where I definitely will need to socialise to widen my social network.
Die.

Assignments and quiz
Okay, maybe I shouldn't complain about the assignments that are due this Friday, seeing as these two assignments are probably the easier assignments compared to the coming ones. *shudders* But still, I'm still not yet done with the holiday spirit. I know, CNY is officially over, but thanks to it, smack in the middle of Week 3, I lost whatever momentum to study that I have gathered before CNY and now I have to start all over again.
Quiz on Friday, I predict, is going to be an almost disaster. I won't curse myself by saying it is absolutely going to end up as a disaster, but still, I don't do well in short answer questions. MCQ, not so bad. Essays, still bearable. Short answer questions, DIE. Seriously.
Oh, did I mention that the quiz is History of EL? Joy... not to mention there are another three more quizzes to come, and midterm. Yeaps, all History of EL.
And to put things into an even bummer mood, a lot of the animes that I have been following have been licensed! That means I can no longer watch them on Youtube or crunchyroll. And I need my weekly dose of anime to amuse me and keep me sane! Naruto and Bleach are not enough, not to mention that all those violence can't be possibly good for mental peace. Besides, both are in the middle of climax, so the humour is sadly not included in all those intense I-hate-you, die-you-assholes fights.
Sigh....
And before I end this post, I just want to say, I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE THAT NARUTO'S MANGAKA KILLED OFF MY BELOVED KAKASHI! I hope he's not really dead, and well, if the mangaka kills off my beloved Shikamaru too, I am gonna abandon this stupid, long-winded manga.
-.-'''

The 25 things you don't know (and perhaps should know) about me
I got tagged by Kung, and I don't feel like doing this in Facebook, so I am gonna do this here instead.
1. I am a curious person, though lazy.
2. I enjoy learning, and knowing, but I don't like quizzes and exams (who does anyways?).
3. I have a short fuse, I get annoyed quite easily, though I don't really show it all the time.
4. I love body art, piercings and tattoo. I am just too scared of the idea of the needle poking continuously into my skin.
5. I am scared of blood, the sight of it can actually make me dizzy.
6. I love science, almost as much as I love literature, but absolutely hate maths.
7. Speaking of literature, I don't enjoy reading most of the literature, mainly because they are too long-winded and the language is too old-fashioned for my liking, but I love discussing about them critically.
8. I don't mind people taking my stuff and using it (though asking for permission first is certainly a nice thing to do), but what annoys me the most is when I can't find my stuff because other people took it without my permission, or when I want to use it, it is unavailable, because again, someone took it without permission.
9. Noise irritates me, and so does secondhand smoke.
10. I'm not very good at socialising. Small talks are, most of the time, meaningless to me.
11. I used to be scared of dogs, now I absolutely love them.
12. I thought spiders are cute, since they have 8 legs and can walk without tripping over their own legs.
13. I dislike the fact that my nails are so short and square-ish. I would like them to be long and graceful so that they will look pretty when I paint them.
14. I get bored easily.
15. I believe in karma.
16. I can be quite mean and sarcastic, sometimes without even realising it.
17. People that I care the most suffer the most from my mean spirit and sarcasm. It's not that I don't appreciate them, it's just that I got so comfortable with them I forget myself.
18. I enjoy reading horror book, or watching horror movie, though my imagination will work overtime after that and I suffer.
19. I will like to have my own pet in the future, hopefully something that is furry and warm-blooded.
20. Defying stereotype, I am a female that doesn't like to cook. Or do houseworks. But if you ask me to choose, I will do houseworks rather than cooking.
21. I love guitar, and playing guitar. Just too bad that my parents won't let me continue learning.
22. I love wearing high heels.
23. I think I might be quite good at being persuasive when I set my mind to it.
24. I can't draw to save my own life.
25. I would love to travel and learn about different cultures.
Okay, done. I'm not sure if I am supposed to tag anyone, but I would love to see my friends do this. Especially Farah, Boo and Joy. I supposed Kang too, except that she has no blog.

Changeling
Apparently, changeling means a child who is believed to have been secretly left in exchange for another. And well, I have never heard of this word before, so I guess my vocabulary is pretty limited, that I don't deny.
Today, Sal, Zaza, Amelia and I went to MV to watch Changeling. It's the new Angelina Jolie movie, just in case you people have never heard of it before. It wasn't bad, quite worth watching, if you like those touching, emotional, inspiring sort of movie. I wasn't blown away by the whole movie, but the storyline was pretty good. Not that cliche, though apparently it was based on a true story.
I will not talk about the story, just in case I accidentally spill some spoilers and spoil your fun if you are planning to watch the movie. But when I was watching the movie, I couldn't help thinking why commit a sin when you know you are going to regret it, especially when you are nearing your end? Makes me wonder if those kind of people actually believe that by confessing and pretending that the sin had never happened will cancel out the sin itself.
Well, honestly, two hours and a lil bit more is a bit too long for me to stand for a movie. Even though the story was progressing pretty decently, I found myself waiting for the end instead of truly appreciating the whole movie. But I blame that on my lack of attention.
Another thing is, I wonder why the movie is not advertise more widely. Probably there are some stuff in the movie about government and politics that hit too close to the truth. Hmm....

Update
Tomorrow's Monday, and if I am Garfield, I would say I hate Mondays. But then again, I am a fan of Garfield, so I would say, Monday is definitely not my favourite day.
8 o'clock class tomorrow. History of English Language. Enough said.
I supposed I should be more unbiased. History of EL is not THAT boring, well, except that it's an 8 o'clock class making everyone's eyes unable to stay open completely. But then again, I spoke too soon. There might be a few early birds in my class, those who I haven't realise.
The past week was all about celebrating CNY. Not really surprisingly, the junkfood in my house finished pretty fast. Most of my favourites were already gone, and if not all gone, well, at least 80% of it gone. Which was too bad seeing as I wanted to bring back to PJ to eat. Well, supposedly I should look at this positively then. I already have enough pimples from all the junkfood that I ate in the last week.
First day of CNY, went and visited my grandma and grandpa, like every CNY.
Third day of CNY, I went and met up with a few friends. Not exactly a few, erm, more like 12? Okay, we were supposed to settle in Old Town for coffee and tea and some chattering, not to mention some gossips, but then a friend suggested that we go to her house since she just moved (half a year ago), and was going to have house warming on the 6th day of CNY. So we would all need to know where her house is in order to attend the long-delayed housewarming.
So, the "yam cha" session ended with a lot of visiting. We visited 7 houses, and well, it was just tiring.
Oh yeah! Sadness.... I wonder how the supposedly hot guy (my dad's friend's son) looks like now. I don't get to see him when I was at my dad's house for the anual gathering, cause I was too busy trying to not die from boredom, and weirdly, my dad's friend didn't come visiting with his family this year.
Oh well....
