Procrastinator, I Am.

Another blog post due to the pestering of friends. XD

College is awesome. No, screw that, it's fantastic. I'm so NOT regretting going for the Jan intake.

Friendly classmates, great lecturers, and a whole lotta' good-lookin' people. I like. A lot.

PLUS. Loads of cute guys and eye-candy. And all above average. XD

BUT.

It's so cold, we freeze our asses off EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN' DAY.

Someone PLEASE tell the administration to turn down the AC, especially in my class. D:

So far the week's been nothing but funfunfun. :D

Orientation was a blast, the ice-breaking thing was a great... well, ice breaker. (Pardon the pun.)

My classmates... well technically there's only 13 of us, but since the Humanities classes are so small, alot of other class people come to our class for their subjects. Combined classes lah. It's just that my class is the permanent one. =.=

The facilities are very canggih as well. The library may be small, but it's cozy. And we has alphabet chairs and beanbags, so there. XP

My lecturers are the total opposite of secondary school teachers. I LIKE. 8D

Mr K, the psych teacher, is GREAT. His lectures are fun and to the point.

Ms Anne is a tad strict, but if you don't cross the line, she'll be ok to work with in class.

Ms. Yogi is my super hyper Math teacher, she's even better at teaching Math compared to my Add Math teachers (Not that they weren't good...)

But the only gripes I have with the campus, besides the cold, is the time alloted for our lunch breaks.

One hour is SO not enough for lunch, especially when the restaurant's late with your order. Rushing back to class does not help in the digestion fo food, ya know.

I'll maybe continue the 'college life' posts later on, but for now, I'm hungry, and shall go scavenge for food. :D

PS. NAH UPDATED LIAO. XP

So Apparently I Should...

It's freaking 2.15am now. And I'm still up. Darn biological clock, you're not supposed to follow the "stay up til 6am new years eve" plan!

Anywho.

A friend prompted me to update this dying, barely alive blog. ("Why all the posts the same wan?")

Hey, at least I still feed it (not very often occuring) news.

So. Typing away now.

...

Uh, nothing to type about.

Well, I could start to describe in detail how my plan to enjoy life on its own was crashed and burned when my dad decided to persuade me to join the Jan intake of A-Levels.

I could be all mad, sad, angsty and whatnot. But I'm not, so... MEH.

Nothing to update lorh. People around me know that my life very the boring one what.

Hang on, I take that back. I actually do plan to go KL with Kelly this Sunday, and with Sab the next. Mum's taking me to Kino as well this Sunday, along with Dad taking me to The Star Education Fair on Saturday. Oh, and I'm taking my undang test (like, FINALLY after bajillions of eons) on Monday. And let's not forget about the first day of school at Taylors' Sri Hartamas the day after.

But you probably didn't want to know about that anyways. ;D

Besides, it's not that I don't want to blog, it's just that... no one appreciates me blogging.

*sniffs and wipes away tear*

I mean, I would do alot better if maybe some people gave comments and-

Ah, screw it. I hate grovelling.

Leave me loads of comments and I will update. I happy, you happy. Sama-sama.

We cool we cool?

(Thank Haziq for that last line. XD)

Happy 2010!

Ah, it's a brand new year again. 2009 was awesome, granted, but I can't wait to kick-start off 2010 with a bang. :)

And so I spent New Year's Eve with Abby, Samantha and Yee Peng. Baked apple pie, swam by the pool, gazed at the moon, watched two movies, slept at 6am. Quite an uneventful New Years Eve, but I'm content. :D

Really sorry for the lack of updates, I just need to get sorted out. The past few weeks I've been busy going out, hanging out, moving stuff from my room (my room now has a fresh coat of paint, complete with a wall of colour), yada yada yada. In short, my current mind and body are tired like shit. X.X

No New Years resolutions, except:

Get a fitter, healthier body.
Earn extra pocket money by getting a part time job.
Study for the SATs. And maybe get a headstart on A-Levels as well.
Learn to DRIVE.
Learn at least two new languages.
Write more.
Continue my music studies.
Keep my room clean. (Ahaha, this'll be tough. XD)
Keep in touch with friends. And not just by Facebook.

I'm serious about the last one. So people, bombard me with your e-mails, handphone numbers and whatnot. I'm really going to make an effort with this, I've lost touch with so many people already.

Hey, if I can still chat with a friend who I've known since F3, and she's halfway across the world now, mind you, I'm sure that you, whoever you are, that's still in Malaysia, can spare some time to chat, no? :)

Review : New Moon

Ah yes. The mayhem of the Twilight Saga is back, with the recent release of the second movie, New Moon.

I would go on about the story, but, c'mon. 99% of us Form 5's have read the darn book, heck, even the entire series. Why should I waste my time going over the plot when we already know what's happened?

Instead, I'll be reviewing the performance of the main actors/actresses, a.k.a. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. And maybe throw in some plot points as well, mehh.

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen

Frankly, I've never been able to completely connect RPatz as Edward. I mean, Edward's supposed to be like, perfect. And Rob is... well I just don't like his teeth. And hair. (Wash it sometime, yeah?) But anyways.

I absolutely despise the characterisation of Edward in the movie, because, well, he doesn't really DO anything. Yeah, it's Jacob's time to shine, but seriously? Edward's role in this movie =WRONGWRONGWRONG. Just... NO.

I don't really have anything against the actor himself, but they should've got another actor to play Edward. But as Ally said, "Who else can you imagine as Edward?"

Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan

First off, I think Kristen's kinda cute. In her own 'aw-shucks-shy-girl' personality. And I think she can act. I'm not sure, I've not watched her other movies, but she has gotten rave reviews, so...

But still. I do not like Bella in this. The whole movie, for her, is basically in this sequence:

Happy, crushed, sad, sad, depressed, adrenaline rush, stupid actions, fright, confusion, angst...

You get the idea. And she doesn't really DO anything, except maybe hang out with Jacob, laughs abit, nearly kisses him TWICE...

So yeah. Bella in New Moon = kinda annoying.

Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black

One thing's for sure : Taylor can ACT. As in real honest acting. Sure he's hot, but I noticed that he really embodies himself in his character. The way he asks Bella to "go away", you could practically see that he was spitting out the words, albeit reluctantly. He is awesome as Jacob, 'nuff said. And did I mention those chocolate abs? 8D

Wouldn't I love to be Bella in this... ^
His gaze could practically melt you.


So besides the acting, the cinematography was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I LOVED how the director managed to convey how Bella was when she was depressed, during those blank October, November and December months by slowly panning the camera around her. Wicked.

The special effects were mind-numbingly real. I could feel the vibrations in my seat when the wolves were chasing after Victoria through the forest.

Not to mention, the selection of tracks for the soundtrack. Anya Marina's 'Satellite Heart' is poignant, and her voice just matches the entire theme of the movie. Lykke Li's 'Possibility' is hauntingly beautiful, which matches the 'blank months' of Bella perfectly.

So, basically, watch the movie if you're a girl, or is interested in directing, or just want to check out the amazing soundtrack.

PS. The movie has also led to my new celebrity obsession : Taylor Lautner. Beware, you were warned.

HOTHOTHOT 8DDD

My Uncle Is So Awesome He Deserves This Blog Post.

So, in reference to the title above, my uncle recently went to Korea. KOREA. For a holiday. Unfortunately for me, I had SPM. :(

However, the good thing is I got to 'tumpang shopping' on him. Muahahaha.

The most awesome thing is, all the things I asked for, he managed to buy for me!

*Sniffs* He's officially my number one uncle now. XD

Anywho, I decided to post this here because,

A. I'm a dork about Korean stuff.
B. I'm a fangirl.

'Nuff said.

Two 2PM albums, and GD's Heartbreaker album. I'm impressed.

Tablo's book, CeCi mag, ELLE Korea, and Junior magazine.

Check out the thickness of themagazines. I swear, 1 can actually be 1kg or more. They're that heavy. @.@

Oh, and turns out all the English versions of Tablo's book "Pieces of You" are sold out in Korea, so they only have the Korean editions left. Another good excuse to learn Korean! (As if the obsessions with its culture wasn't enough XD)

But this was kinda sad... And ruins the illusion that Korea is really that perfect.

An ad for plastic surgery. WTF.

Oh, oh and something extra. :D

He brought back 20 packets of Shin Ramyun for us too. Madness I tell you.

New Moon review coming up next! :D

ON THE OTHER HAND...

Went to the Popular Bookfest today, got VIP invites from my aunt. Ajaked Kelly along as well.

The workers this year have red aprons! I didn't get an apron last year. TT_TT

(FYI, I worked at last year's Bookfest under my aunt. Because renting space costs around RM20K this year, she decided not to participate. Boo.)

I am SO going to work at next year's Bookfest.

And I have this theory that the Popular company actually goes to Chinese high schools ('cos they need people who can speak Chinese mah) and recruit the workers. I'm serious, all of them look like they're in high school. Can tell one lah.

Oh, and look what I got!

And that's not all!


Haha. And guess what I'm reading now. :D
