Christmas Wish

“Then we watched 'Whistle Down the Wind'. I wish I could find Jesus in my barn, I thought; maybe I could ask Him when I'm going to be happy”.

Ugly

Deja Vu Again

Lol... Guess what, I paid Mid Valley a visit... again. (Not again?!!!) But this time, no shopping was involved. Instead, I watched 'Twilight'. I had always wanted to watch it, considering all the hype over it. But, didn't see it coming that fast. It was all because of Cathy's remark about the movie that hasten the rate. But, I'm glad that I followed her advice - It was a decent movie. I wouldn't rate it that highly. But worth watching, I suppose. However, if you are anticipating a full-blow-to-blow action-packed film, you might just find this movie disappointing. It is a very romantic yet dark movie. It kinda reminds me of a Cantonese production called 'Twins Effect'. It was also about vampires and the love stories between them and the mortals. But, Twilight's vampires do not have fangs and pointed ears (haha...). I don't know - the Americans tag this film as the American version of 'Harry Potter'. But, I think the kids who are below 13 would prefer Harry Potter over this. To me, this movie is cooler than Potter without a shadow of a doubt. So, I can very well expect contradicting opinions on this movie.

Moving on, I have finally bought the book which I've been longing for months ago.

'Ugly' by Constance Briscoe. Haven't read it yet but will do so very soon.

Deja Vu

It's amazing, or rather awkward - I've been to Mid Valley thrice for the last 5 days. The first, with Cathy, Sylvea, and Jackie; the second, with Sylvea (that was totally an unplanned plan) and today, my mum and bro accompanied me (not true! - I accompanied them). Planned to watch High School Musical 3. But, my mum ruined it - she asked me to discard that plan because she wants to go home early. Gosh, and I was dreaming about Zac Efron minus Vanessa Hudgens (just to show how eager I was to watch that movie) all night long. But that also goes to mean that I've saved RM 7. In fact, I made her promise me to buy the HSM DVD (pirated one lah of course. My mum's very stingy. Whose won't?) instead and guess what she replied - "7 to 8 ringgit only mah, ok lah". Ironically enough, she would go to Giant to buy a packet of toilet rolls when she's located in Carrefour simply because it's cheaper by RM 1 in Giant. Haih.... wonder if I would be like her when I'm her age.

Lol... 50 years later, I will look like them.

10 Promises To My Dog

Aww, it was one of the most touching stories I've ever perceived (but I always say that whenever a movie activates my tear gland). This morning, Sylvea texted me - telling me that she's bored and asking me if I want to watch movie with her. So, I pun very excited and aswered "Okie dokie". I personally wanted to watch High School Musical 3. But it's on screen only at 4 pm (so 'potong steam'). Hence, we decided to watch "10 Promises to My Dog". But to be precise, I was the one who called the shot. Though I was afraid I might make the wrong choice.


However, it didn't disappoint. Unless you are a hard-core, no-nonsense fan of action blockbusters like 007, you would definitely like this one. It's a touching story revolving around a girl named Akari (14 years old), who owns a dog, called 'Socks' (because he has a lighter tone of fur on one of her paws which makes it look like it's wearing socks), not long before her mother died. Actually her mother was the one who took the puppy into the house without her daughter's knowledge. She hopes that the dog would substitute her in Akari's heart and she makes Akari to promise her dog 10 promises, hence the title. Her mother died. As she grows up, she starts to abandon Socks. She has a boyfriend and friends and no longer cares about the dog. In the end, the dog dies at the age of ten. And gosh, she cries like nobody's business when she is reminded of the 10 promises. Sylvea and me sobbed quietly but heavily. We exited the cinema with a pair of red, teary eyes (How embarrassing was that?!). Seriously, I think I started to cry from the middle part of the movie till the end. I think Sylvea cried earlier that me.


I reckon the most poignant dialogue was where her mother said to her daughter, "You have friends and family, but I [Socks] have only you". That just reminds me of my Fye. It made me feel like giving my bunny a big, tight hug right away. But, I guess there's something which I dislike about the film - The way the young Akari calls "Socks!". Throughout that first half of the movie, she has called out countless number of "Socks!", that it became cloying. It's uhm... pretty irritating with the repetitions and her voice too. It's not all teary and moody though, it has some funny bits here and there too - the most hilarious of all was when Akari's best friend's dog is stuck in a box and when he gets out of it, his huge fluffy hair is styled after the box's shape. Can you imagine, a dog with a square face? Lol... Overall, I like it a lot - I also like the fact that it's a story, reciting the entire life-span of a dog (10 years). It doesn't just skip through the years like "5 years later" and "the end". It envisages each stage with details, but without any complexities. It's very straightforward without acquiring the viewers to take time to digest the story. This is what I fancy the most about this movie.


Gosh, now I'm looking like I'm giving a movie review or something.

Oh, ya! - Have I mentioned to you that Akari's boyfriend looks old for his on-screen age?

Am I Being Pampered Too Much?

Haih, although I'm the eldest among my siblings (I have another younger bro), my father adores me more than my bro. Maybe because I'm a girl. Not trying to say that my papa is a bias leader of the family, but he seems to tolerate with my attitude, no matter how rude I am.

For instance, this morning, my bunny hopped out of the bucket which I put him in when I was washing his cage. I took him and put him back into the bucket and he got out of it again and again. I got so fed up because I had been spending almost an hour just to ensure his cage is squeaky clean. By the 3rd time of him running around my garden, I couldn't stand him anymore. He kept on running and stopped and run again when I was prepared to get hold of him. I shouted at him - "If you want to stay in there, stay in there for the rest of your life. I don't care about you anymore!!!". I got really angry and blasted into the living room. Both my father and my uncle saw the rage in me and asked me, what happened. I told them about the my mischievous pet and that he's still wandering around in the garden. And both of them went and caught Fye. But not without some sacrifice. My uncle got his arm scratched by Fye's strong hind leg and in fact, he nearly fell down the drain while he was trying to catch him. I didn't know about this until my father told me this afternoon. Now, good - I feel so guilty now.

Then, my mood got even worse. I was really hungry and thought of eating some of the cakes bought by my cousin yesterday night. My aunt took out all of them out and ate a little bit of all the cakes. I wasn't mad at her if she was just trying to taste the cakes but the grossest part was that she used the same fork on every cake and that fork has her and her daughter's saliva. The cakes now have all of their saliva. How eeeewwww that was. Seeing all the sharing saliva activity, I decided to not eat and just entered into my room with a manifest crossed face. But before retreating, I told them that, "I don't eat other people's saliva". Later, my father brought in a piece of cake, telling me not to worry because he has sliced off the contaminated area. Awh, how sweet of my father to do this!

But after all these circumstances, out of a sudden, I am starting to question myself if I have gone over the board with my hot-tempered actions. Have I been overly pampered by my family? I always thought I was doing the right things all the while. Perhaps, it's just because nobody has come up to me and tell me that I'm wrong, in my face.

Looks can be deceiving - Though Fye looks cute, look at how large those hind legs of his are. They are pretty lethal. I'm sorry, uncle!

Tomorrow's the Last Day!

What am I doing here really? Obviously, I'm procrastinating when I'm supposed to be studying Tort right now. I don't know, nothing seems to be entering my head at the moment. I guess this is what you call the post-exam symphtom - where your feelings/senses just go numb once you step out of the exam hall. My contract paper just ended (hours ago). This is one paper I personally reckon, the toughest of all (including the other subjects). Yeah, no surprise. If you ask the others, they would most probably be of the similar opinion as me too. So, right after jotting my last full-stop down on the answer sheet, my mind started firing point-blank. Nothing was in my mind but to sleep and really to rest. But, I couldn't. I spent 3 hours in the library staring at the 'Trespass to Person' notes. After 3 hours, I was still at the first page. You must be giggling by now, don't you? Haih, I'm currently still waiting for my father. So, in the mean time, I will continue to procrastinate.

I'm Exhausted

It takes only 8 papers to bring me down. I can't imagine how am I going to face the next 4. I'm really tired. I want to sleep. But I can't when I start thinking that I have to study tomorrow. I just don't want to face tomorrow. And that grandma doesn't want to continue writing on her blog - another route of entertainment being shut down. Gosh, I can't stand it anymore. I'm really sleepy. I want to sleep. But.... Oh, whatever. Now, good - I'm hungry. Fine then, I'll go and eat while watching Pokemon, the movie. That would buy me some time. Gotta go now. Catch up with you guys later.

Right After My Law P1

I've finished law p1!!! Oh, my... and what an experience. I could finish the paper on time - something that I had never done before. I kept telling myself that I have to write faster, faster, faster, and faster. In the end, I could really complete it on time... but not without the help by Mr.Siva. I sit in the very first desk of the row. So, the consensus is that my answer sheet should be the first one to be collected. Haha... surprisingly, Mr.Siva went straight and collected from desk no.2 first and swept the entire row before my turn. So, my completion of the conclusion was all because of him. Anyway, it's not that I'm confident that I'm going to score an A or something - it's because I left out a few important points so that I could really get to the conclusion as soon as possible! So, not really confident. But, hey I wrote an average of 3 pages per question, so that's pretty amazing.... to me (oh, have I told you that my writings were particularly large today?) Lol... Fine then, gotta go and study King Lear and Gulliver's Travels, books which I would say the toughest to read, understand and answer. I've got Law P2 and Eng. Lit waiting for me tomorrow. Lately, I've been listening to the theme song of 'Triumph in the Skies'. Don't know why, nor do I like Eason Chan but I find it very soothing.

I Officially Hate Nicole Scherzinger

Yup, your eyes are perceiving the right words, name and verb. Hmm, you must be thinking "Why?". Well, did you watch the F1 race in the Inter Lagos, Brazil? Yeah, Lewis Hamilton won. And guess who was there all praying, cheering, screaming, and jumping for joy? - Nicole Scherzinger. All right, now here's how the story begins - First and foremost, I'm a fan of Ferrari. Hence, surely, I was rooting for Fellipe Massa (the Ferrari driver). However, Lewis Hamilton (drives for team McLaren) won the championship for this season. So, I despise him because of the obvious reason. Plus, he is darn arrogant and he's a Brit. Did I tell you how much I hate Brits? Wonder why I'm a fan of Liverpool FC and Steven Gerrard? Anyway, in case you are not aware of it, Nicole is the rumoured girlfriend of Hamilton (well, I guess they can't deny that revelation anymore after this). Thus, there you go, I hate her simply because she has a boyfriend whom I dislike. Can you spot the conspiracy theory now?



By the way, sorry, Jackie.

Bizarre?

I had like a full 2-week off. I didn't need to go to college except for last Wednesday. Just to collect some notes and other stuffs. I know, you must be thinking - Oh, COOL!!! But the reality is - it's not cool at all. Whenever I had any spare time, I constantly reminded myself - "You have to study". How boring was that! But the worse of all was, whatever that I've planned to study was unachievable. For instance, I took 3 days just to study poetry instead of the supposedly 1 day. Not that there's a lot to study (well, that's part of the reason), it's because I kept telling myself that "there's another week left. I don't need to rush. There are some awesome shows to watch on Starworld. Let's watch it (I spent 3 hours to watch Grey's Anatomy every day - they broadcast 3 episodes of it per day). And I just bought a couple of DVDs. Let's play it (I just watched a Pokemon movie. 4 more to go). Blah, blah, blah." I took my own sweet time, thinking there's tomorrow. But there's always a limited tomorrow. Only 2 'tomorrow' s I could tell myself. After that, hehe... here comes the nightmare. But, as much as it sound pathetic here, I actually feel very calm and relaxed (perhaps, even overly relaxed) with the wind, silence, and Fye (my pet). Oh, well, I guess it's time to say tata. I even made this (blogging) as an excuse to take a break from studying Econs.
