It's Like a Snail and It Ain't Getting Quicker.

(Sigh)... Classes have been very slow indeed especially the tutorial (especially contract). Have been telling myself to study but, my brain just can't inaugurate the throttle. I envy Vino so much. She's like.... I don't know, so enthusiastic about law and well, you could tell with all her questions and extended research. In lectures, the lecturers just talk, talk, and talk (non-stop). In tutorial, they keep asking us to do the questions when those questions haven't even been covered by the lecturers in the lectures. How frustrating.

And, there's a few (yes, a few. not one) annoying people in my class. They are the members of the Backbenchers Club of ATC. They distract the classes all the time by clamouring and coming in late. Then, there are the A-Levels students whom I don't know or rather not familiar with. They are the friends of a friend of mine. They are making copies of my notes and charts which I have pledged sweats and tears in them. Not that I care a lot but, you would definitely feel the grief when they become a copy-cat of your hardwork and expect themselves to excel by digesting other people's effort. And, it's without my permission, without my consent and without a deafening "thank you".


I have even been sucked into this global recession subject. Yes, I'm broke. Not that I was not broke before this but currently, I'm broke-r (if that word ever exist?) than ever. Have tones of printing jobs to complete, my father birthday's just concluded, statute books have to purchase, just made an application to the University of London (56 pounds), and the biggest headache of all - the college fees. All these need money and needless to say, I am officially bankrupt. I WANT MONEY!!! I had contemplated of looking for vacancies. Nonetheless, I am just too shy to work (???). My EQ is very... sigh. My rate of laziness can be compared to that of a pig.


Say Eh-Oh!!!

The Insight of Love

I swear he's falling for her. He'd been staring at her perpetually all class long. But, but, but.... nah, he doesn't have a chance. He doesn't have any idea how pathetic he was portrayed by her in the ladies the other day. Kesian.... But (again?) NO!!! I can't sympathise him. He doesn't deserve to receive even a drop of it out of me. Serves you right! Memalukan betul.

Regret Doing Her Tags.

Haih... I thought doing part of the many tags that she asked me to complete would please her. Little did I know that, that would actually backfire. Now, she's all hyped up and excited handing me tags to do. No choice lah. I don't want to disappoint her. I'm still hoping to get treated for some over-the-top-priced ice-cream. Just have to bare with it.

Directions: Once you've been tagged,you have to list down 16 random things,habits or goals about you.Lastly, choose five people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them.

1. I hate studying.

2. I hate reading. Just bought a so-called inspiring book. Gave up reading in the mid-way.

3. I can't sing. Seriously.... you wouldn't want to invite me to a karaoke session. You'll be deaf for sure.

4. I have always wanted to be famous for the right reason. Like for being the one of the very few female football correspondents in the business.

5. The list of people whom I loathe is longer than that of whom I like.

6. I'm never comfortable talking to most of the guys because I am very shy. What can I do? I had been trapped in an all-girl school during the period when others have started socialising with guys.

7. I don't want to be a lawyer although I wrote a differing statement on the LLB application form, saying I aspire to be a lawyer. My parents have even started to boast that I am on my way to being a lawyer, to my aunties n uncles. Though I remember telling my father that I want to be a journalist. Guess, he's forgotten about it, huh?

8. My general knowledge is ... very pathetic. I remember when Mr.Suku was talking about Charles Darwin, I was scratching my head, wondering who the heck is that man.

9. I read newspapers in a reverse direction - from the back (sports news) up to the mid-section where the entertainment news are.

10. I'm an anti-group-studying. I oppose the idea of studying in a group because ... I know that it'll just never work.

11. I was a fan of Teletubbies when I was 7 or 8 years old. I don't understand why my classmates simply hate it. Though they couldn't change my mind on Teletubbies. They're all so cute, don't you think?

12. I mind whenever one says I'm fat. I know I am fat but, it just hurts when that happens. But that still couldn't stop the chocolates entering my mouth.

13. In the opinion that guys are all superficial.

14. A genuine believer that women are lying when they say they don't mind being boyfriend-less.

15. I'm a lazy pig. I seldom do house chores except when my mother starts showing her long and sour face.

16. Phew... at last. Uhm... I love animes. Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa, Paradise Kiss, and recently, Kamichu (The Teenage Goddess).

I don't know who to tag due to the fact she has already tagged most of the bloggers I know. However, I won't hold it against anyone who does it. Good luck on that!

D. It's Written

That's one of the answers that the movie, Slumdog Millionaire asks. The question sounds something like this -
Jamal Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees and how did he do it?
A. He cheated.
B. He's lucky.
C. He's a genius.
D. It is written.

Just went to watch it with Jane today. It was a meaningful and towards a certain extent brutal film. Initially, I thought that it's going to be a cry cry one. But, nah my eyes were dry. It is actually more of a love story than a story illustrating the poverty a boy faces, towards the end. The motif of the young man to join the contest all Indians in India watch is very simple - is to be seen by "the most beautiful woman in the world".

It kicked-off of with a boring and subtle note and in fact, it was a little confusing for me. Things got worse when the Indian actors (excluding the leading actor, Dev Patel - he's a British by the way) started to speak English. It's like a celebrity donning too much make-up that you couldn't even recognise her. They have such a saturated Hindi accent that I couldn't digest their English dialogue. But, I could understand their Hindi. Lol... Why? Because they provide subtitle for the Hindi dialogue. And here is the bizarre part - They didn't provide sub for the English dialogue.

The plot beginning to get interesting when the romantic bits popped up and there you go again, a typical Bollywood-chum-Hollywood love story. I guess in the end, the part that I agree the most is when the leading actress answered that the people watch "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is because it gives them a route to escape when she was asked by Jamal, of why people in India love this show. Escape from poverty, escape from brutality and escape from oppression. And of course, the movie ended in a classic, typical Bollywood style. Gosh, you must watch the ending. I'll leave you to figure out the ending.

One Fine Day Trip

Spent last Saturday in Malacca. It was an ideal way to rejuvenate and recharge ourselves before bracing for more challenges ahead of us. My family including my uncles and aunts and also two annoying kiddos took a stroll in some of the must-visit places and found a hidden treasure in Malacca. Here are some of the cool pictures we snapped :


I'm sure you guys have already been introduced to Michelle before. The boy beside her is nope, not her bf, he's another cousin of mine, Desmond. Both of them could initiate a major destruction without severe invigilation. These were taken in a museum which features different traditional accommodations. It was terribly boring and the fact that I've been there before during my school trip provided no help whatsoever to cure my boredom.


My bro and I. The man with a sour face behind us is my youngest uncle and also the father of Michelle. Hehe... he got really fed up with his daughter's mischievous and naughty acts that he nearly dialled for a cab to go home.


Then, we had ourselves placed in the Crocodile Farm. There's me with my aunt with his over-pampered son. And oh, that crocodile in the first pic isn't real. But, the croc in the next photo means business. Did you see how vicious his eye is?


Still in the Croc Farm, we paid 2 ringgit to take a ride on a worn-out train and it's called 'Jurassic Park'. This so-called "eerie" dinosaur was one of the entertainers there. Yup, the dinosaur sums up the entire ride - LOUSY.


After lunch, we decided to take a ride on the famous trishaw.


Some of the sceneries there. The Ferris wheel is dubbed as the 'Eye of Malacca'. Didn't have the chance to take a ride on it because it only operates under the moonlight.


We took a boat ride. And that was the highlight of the day. It is I would say, Malacca's Venice. The sight might not be as awe-inspiring as Venice but, the tranquility that it provides was simply magnificent. I've forgotten the name of that strait but it officially makes it to the must-go list.


Pics of me with my bro and parents on the river bank.

And, nope. We didn't go to Kota A Famosa. Wanted to but uhm... something happened along the way. So, we decided to head home. My legs were left aching after that trip. Might be caused by those new shoes. (Sigh)... Nevertheless, it was a great trip - filled with fun and laughter.
