Wish List

Dear Santas,

I know it's a little too early to send my wishlist to you, but it's already APRIL next month and I would like you to be prepared for the upcoming 'Christmas' so that I could get what I want. And I've been VERY GOOD boy this year.

So, Santas, first, I need a new backpack. The one I'm using right now have holes on it already. In need of a new one ASAP. You see,
even my fingers can go through it.
So, Santas, I want this Adidas' adiPURE backpack for my birthday Christmas presents. Don't you think it looks cool?

Also, Santas, there are holes on the outsole of my shoes. You see?
So, how do you think of this?

And, Santas, I need a better camera phone to do my blogging. My current one is like super low quality la. So, give me this Sony Ericsson C905
or, if you find it a bit too lowly, I don't mind if you give me this Sony Cyber-Shot T90
And I've always long for a Levi's jeans. So,
I want a Levi's Red Tab 505 Luxury Heritage Jeans or Levi's Red Tab 522 Square Cut Jeans.

OK la, Santas, I know the world is facing recession and even North Pole can't escape it. Therefore, whatever gifts you gives me, I will accept it full with gratitude.

I'm A HIV/AIDS Champion!

This morning, I went for the HIV/AIDS Train the Trainer (ttt) workshop conducted by the AIESEC team in USM. Since joining AIESEC early this semester, I feel like I learned a lot, especially the world issues which AIESEC cared about, and one of them is HIV/AIDS.

Actually, this morning I'm not really motivated to attend it since it's on 9am in the morning, a time where I'm still vacationing in dreamland. Anyhow, being Un-Malaysian, I did managed to reach on time, only to find that just few AIESECers were there. I hang around, waiting patiently for the workshop to begin. Luckily, I got bring my laptop (more like my roommate's laptop...) so I MSN around first to waste time.

While I'm being Un-Malaysian, AIESEC USM really embraced the whole Malaysian-ness. The event only began at 9.45am, exactly 45minutes late! And just for an additional AIESECer. Haiz...

Nevertheless, the process were a lot of fun and thought-provoking. Nadia, the facillitator of the workshop, really did her job in teaching us how to be a HIV/AIDS champion well even though she claimed that she was not well-prepared. Maybe because it's among us youths (and extremely small crowd), the environment was very relaxing, nothing formal.

During the world cafe session where we all sit around and discuss certain the topic in a deeper range, it's was, enlightening, to say the least. Some of the questions asked:

• HIV infected children should be seperated into different classrooms
• HIV testing should be made mandatory to all couples planning to wed
• People living with HIV (PLwH) should be required (by law) to announce their status

What are your views? Share with me la...

Then, there's the condom wearing demo, performed by Wai Soon. And each of us were given 1 for free. Hmm, I think I'm gonna give it to a friend of mine for his safety...hehe...Dude, watch this video and wear it properly ok?




Oh yea, was recommended by friend to go to this website:

Earth Hour

3.30pm
5 more hours till Earth Hour...Go Earth!
Haha...now got nothing to write...
Later only update la...

11.41pm
Earth Hour had come and go so quickly. Did you turned off all the switches in your room/house/whichever places you are in? I know I did...Haha...

Before the clock even strike 8.30pm, I already switched off all the electrical appliances and lights and fan...'cause I'm heading out...Haha

Me and my friend were heading to the Pusat Bahasa (Language Centre) to have a closer look at Penang Bridge, which, according to newspaper, will turn off the lights. Throughout the walk (yes, we walked from RST to Pusat Bahasa), it was drizzling as if mother nature was crying. Crying because we heard her sorrow or because we ignored it? I don't know...

We braced through rain and cold breeze and when we finally reached the destination, wewere like, HUH? The bridge still filled with lights. I felt cheated.

The best I could do...through here can't really tell right?

Photos can't be uploaded due to the sucky line here...later la...

The environment at Pusat Bahasa there is very scary, especially during the night. Dark buildings, eerie feeling, vacant of people, it felt like we're in some horror movies, where the hero and heroine trying to escape the clutches of the madmen and ghosts and whatever monsters that movies had la. Haiz...wasted my time walking there for nothing...and oso such a stupid post...

11.00pm 29/03/09
Haha, I really thought that Penang Bridge didn't keep its promise but according to The Stars' article and photos featured in it, the bridge was in darkness. Except for the lights on the road, all the accessory lights were turned off. So, sorry, Penang Bridge, for framing you.

Realisation...

With the end of the semester approaching aka the beginning of the nightmares aka EXAMS, I had some sort of epiphany. Well, more like deep thinking...

What had I been doing throughout this semester?

• skipping lectures
• online
• shopping
• movies

I don't feel like gaining any knowledge at all...more like gliding pass days by days like a ghost...

And to make things worse, out of all the mid-term tests I had, only 2 of them I did it on my own. The rest were given tips and hints (more like the exact questions of the tests) by friends who had to take the tests earlier due to scheduling conflict. And assignments and tutorials, don't mention about it...my economy assignments were total rip-offs from those who actually did it.

I really feel like I didn't do anything to earn the results I got from the tests. Haiz...

p/s: My laptop's back! And in return, RM80 from my wallet disappeared. And just now, my specs went byebye on me...got dropped when was riding on my friend's bike...COULD IT GET ANY WORSE???

Fucking Bad Day

Damn it! Motherfucking son of the bitch!

There's goes my vow...

My bloody fucking laptop got infected with virus, making it impossible for me to access it. And the unavoidable formatting that goes along with it! Hell!!!!!!!!!

I was studying last night til I was so bored already, so I thought of switching on my laptop to listen to the songs. That bloody thing was loading SLOWLY as usual, therefore, didnt suspect anything. Only after 10++min and that fricking piece of appliance still havent finished loading then I realised something must be wrong.

The whole thing went static. Totally hang there. Thought like just some error there, I restarted the whole thing, with the same result. OMFG!!!!!

All my movies collections!!!!!!!!

All my tv series!!!!!!!!

How am I going to spend the remaining weeks here, without that fricking artificial mind!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!

And then, this morning, I had my MSG 162 midterm test of sort. Thanks God nothing bad happened. Even though there's a slight miscalculation on a question, I still managed to correct it. Thanks a lot to Xin Hao for checking it.

But that's not the point. When I was walking back to my hostel after my meeting, the rain started pouring. OMFG, I'm still quite far from my hostel yet. I ran to the nearest building, which is Aman hostels. Luckily I ran into the correct hostel, aka the guys' dorm. If I ran to the girls' dorm, I can imagined the screams I'll be hearing. If my fricking umbrella did not get lost, all of this will not happen. End up wasting almost 1 hour standing there doing nothing.

Oh, yea...the reason I walked back was because it's 1+pm, the time where the Malays went for their prayers on Friday, leaving the bus system inside USM temporarily stopped.

WHY MY DAY SO FUCKING TERUK ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hamlet, Malay-fied!

Ever heard of the famous play, Hamlet?
No.
Then, do you know who was William Shakespeare?
No.
WHICH CAVE YOU CAME FROM???
(crazy conversation between two conscious minds in my brain)

Haha...For those who dunno what Hamlet about, here's a gist of the play. It tells the story of a Prince Hamlet, whose father, The King, was murdered by his brother, Claudius, and whose mother married Claudius after the King's death, and he wanna avenged his father's dead by going cuckoo and trying to kill Claudius. There.

Oh, yea. There's also some subplot about how the King's spirit asking Hamlet to avenge him, how Polonius, Claudius' trusted counsellor, got killed, how Ophelia, Polonius' daughter, involved in the whole mess, etc. Then how all the main and supporting characters all died in the end.

And, yea, I suspect Horatio, Hamlet's best friend, is in love with Hamlet. At least, I get that vibe from the play I watched la. Go Wiki it if you wanna know more...

OK, why the Hamlet thingy you may ask? Well, my friend was involved in the staging of Hamlet in Malay, a project from the final year students of the Acting and Directing courses. Well, being a good friend that I am, I went there to support her la. This was my first theater experience and the first play I watched was in Malay. Haiz...talking bout patriotism...Hehe...

The ticket...

The play was being staged at Panggung Sasaran (Target Theater???). The first thought that came out from my mind is this image...

Grand...
High class...

But, instead, I got this...

Old and dirty...
Low class...
Floor-sitting audiences...
See that white apparition? She's the examiner, I believe...

I'll tell the story through photos I took throughout the play.

Began with Horatio seeing the the King's spirit...
...in the castle, with Gertrude, Claudius and Hamlet from left to right...
...Hamlet's ranting out of anger...
...Hamlet continued ranting...
...Laertes warning Ophelia about Hamlet...
...the King apparition telling Hamlet to avenge him...
...Ophelia telling his father, Polonius, about Hamlet's going cuckoo...
...and Polonius spreading the words to Claudius and Gertrude...
...Hamlet acting gila to make them believe further...
...while silently hiring a group of actors to stage his father's death to see Claudius's reaction...
...another private moment between Hamlet and Horatio...

...all of them ready to watch the play set by Hamlet...
...scene from the 'play'...
...trying to kill Claudius but failed, after convinced of Claudius' guilt...
...confronting his mother about her crime...
...Ophelia went crazy (crazy seems like the theme here) after knowing bout her father's death...
...while Laertes went berserk...
...the final act where Hamlet fighting Laertes...
...till breaking the sword...
...Gertrude got poisoned, Laertes and Claudius got killed by Hamlet, Hamlet got poisoned...
...the 'loving scene' between Hamlet and Horatio...now you know why...
...Horatio narrating the final scene...
...before curtain call...

While the acting was great, I had trouble following the dialogues between the characters. Must be my poor command of Malays. So sad. Yea, my friend's the one playing Ophelia.

p/s I watched the play YESTERDAY and were planning to post this entry midnight YESTERDAY but due to the ever-sucky connection here...Haiz...Yea， 雯卿, thanks for your camera...arigato!

Took this personality test in my friend's computer. I found it quite accurate.

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
VERDICT: Haha, very true...people can testify that...

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
VERDICT: My friend laughed when she read this. So you can kinda guess how true is it...But I had yet to be in love le...

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

If you think it's SO not true, shoot me in my comment box...MUAHAHAHA...

Of Kame-Hame-Ha and Model

Today, went with my coursemates to watch Dragonball : Evolution in Queensbay. Supposedly to watch Watchmen but due to someone, the reservation I made for the show got canceled. Let me tell you what crimes the movie had committed.

Firstly, there’s the Caucasian American actor playing a Japanese character named Goku completed with Asian manga hairstyle. Then, the Japanese grandpa of the Americanised Goku which is played by a Korean actor, I believed. There’s the American high school Goku attended that was filled with stereotyped Americans teen characters.

Just like one of the scene from the movie...

The romance between Goku and Chi Chi is so sudden and undeveloped. The name Yamcha reminded me of going yum cha with my friends. The antagonist Piccolo had a green plastic/rubber face. Then, there’s the screen after the credit that screamed sequel. And the movie barely lasted 90 minutes which is fortunate, albeit a waste of money.

There’s so many cheesy moments throughout the movie that I thought I’m eating cheese baked rice. Luckily, I’m not a fan of the manga and the animated series. If not, I’ll screamed all the Fs and B’s and any vulgar words known to human. The movie is a piece of cheese. B-grade some more. Not wonder it’s called Dragonball : Evolution…it had evolved from a well-known anime to a B-grade piece of cheese. Haiz…

This is better than the movie...

After that, we went to Kim Gary for dinner. Haha, I ate cheese baked rice with seafood and unagi. All the cheesiness in the movie made me wanna indulge myself with some real cheese. Delicious.

Seafood with unagi cheese baked rice

p/s While lepak-ing around Qbay, a lady approached me with a flyer. Thinking that she’s some salegirl from whatever shop, I just smiled kindly at her while shaking my head until I heard of what she said: she was asking me if I’m interested to be a model or participate in some model competition thingy. Something like that la. I was surprised by it but my feet were continuing with the momentum of the movement and when I want to look for her again to have a look at that flyer, she disappeared already. Me, a model? Haha…And this is for real one, OK?

look like 1 meh? Hehe...

Totally Random Thing!

Warning
The following post might contain words that is explicit and rude for little kids and those young at heart. Read at your own risk. Haha...

Contact Lens Mayhem!

Bloody lord!

What supposed to be a funny story took a 180 degree turn into some creepy tale.

OK, it all began like usual. Woke up around 8.45am, brushed teeth, washed face, yadda yadda. Wore my contact lenses before heading to lectures. Somehow, I always managed to irritate my left eye whenever I wore it. In need to brush up my skill in wearing it.

Then headed out for lectures and tutorials. To cut my day short, suffice to say that my left eye was not comfortable at all. It blinked and fidgeted but I suspected nothing. Used to it already. I went to the nearest toilet to have a look at it. Accidentally wet my left eye, making the lens went out of space. I adjusted it, and when it aligned with my pupil, I thought everything was ok. Hell, was I wrong.

I continued with my classes and all but somehow along the line, the vision of my left eye went blurry. I thought, shit, again with the lens. I just ignored it till I went back my room around 7pm. Went toilet to take it out but the contact lens on the left side went missing. I searched high and low (ok, not high and low la) for it but there was no sign of it. I thought it dropped somewhere during the day. Somehow I am quite a master in lens dropping. But every time it dropped, I would noticed it. I just laughed at myself la for being so blur.

But still, I feel that there’s something inside under my eyelid. After a while, I looked at the mirror and pulled my eyelid as wide as possible. To my horror, I saw something translucent hiding under it. That bloody con must have slipped inside it!!!

No idea what this fella doing...but mine is the cons slipped under eyelid

Luckily, I managed to take it out. Imagine if I just ignored the presence under my eyelid, the piece of plastic will slip further and further inside my left eye and later gonna have surgery to remove it. Then, it’s be a eye patch on my left eye like a pirate. OMG!!!

I'll look like this if I just ignored it!
