I know...I know...
I should be updating my blog more often and providing you guys with more silly events in my life. But for some reasons, I can't find anything and the time to write a proper post!

So many things have been going on for the past two months...
I moved from my previous flat to another one closer to my school. So, my days were filled with packing, moving, and unpacking. It was pretty hectic and I find myself exhaust more easily these days.. Maybe it's because of the underlying stress from moving. Or perhaps it's just me getting old...I don't know..

That's why, this is my piteous attempt to at least post something new to keep this blog alive! Oh, well...Maybe next post will be better...I promise... I'll try to update again soon with more interesting story! So, I'll see ya when I see ya!

:D

Very creative! Yay Hank Green!!

Greetings, wizards and witches~

Last night, yours truly went to the premiere of Harry Potter: The Half-Blood Prince with my sister. I entered the theater with not much expectation as the previous HP movies directed by David Yates (starting from Prisoner of Azkaban) never failed to disappoint the Harry Potter worshiper inside me. Seriously, I was pretty sure I would bash the movie afterward. But I was proven wrong.

Although the movie scene doesn't include much of the scenes from the original story, the adaptation is not bad. I like how the tingly childish romance was integrated into the dark plot. The part where Ron was inflicted with love potion was the best! It was a good laugh, really...

Now, another thing I hate about David Yates's previous HP movies is Michael Gambon casting as Dumbledore and how Yates directed this charismatic character. It was distasteful. The old wizard is supposed to be the charismatic and calm-headed man, despite the occasional screw-loose in the head. But Yates and Gambon's version of Dumbledore was gruff as compared the the late Richard Harris's Dumbledore.

It's really ironic that the only time I feel Yates and Gambon's interpretation of Dumbledore is faithful to the story is when Dumbledore died in the story. As most of you probably have known, the old wizard is going to die at the end of the 6th installment of the Harry Potter series. Yates's HP movies only managed to touch me at the second last installment of the series. And Gambon's Dumbledore achieved his glory at his dying moment. It's kinda like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson all over again; Gambon's Dumbledore, I mean.

All in all, I guess Half-Blood Prince is probably the best out of Yates's HP movies by far... To me, anyway. I actually cried a lil' bit at the end of the movie where it depicts Dumbledore's lifeless body and Harry grieving over his death. Dark, dark plot it was...And it earned a standing ovation from me. Great job, David Yates. Great job, Michael Gambon. (Finally...)

My 6 knuts worth of thought~

Greetings from the land of the unlucky~

Today, I lament for my pitiful existence...
Today, I lament for my hateful non-existence of luck...

If someone tell me I'm going to find a dollar on the road tomorrow, I'll whack that person up in the head and laughed loudly while pointing my (index) finger at him...Why, you ask? Because I have no luck! (Or maybe it's just today that my lady luck decided to take a nap for a decade..)

Imagine sacrificing 3-quarters of your beauty sleep to study for a mid-term test. You planned to wake up at 7 the next day and happily make your way to school (and hopefully managed to catch a glimpse of a sunshine. well,not exactly sunshine..but you get the idea). BUT! You woke up at 8:16 when your morning class starts at 9! So, you rushed and take a taxi, hoping to make it in time for school. The traffic crushed your hope. And the taxi fare burned a hole in your pocket. And you didn't get to catch the sunshine.

Could it be worse? A big nod to that!

Next thing, you found yourself wolfing down your lunch in hope that you could read some more notes before the test starts. But in the end, you barely make it in time to the test. To top it off, you found that you haven't studied enough to get yourself a satisfying mark.

Okay, now... Could it be any worse? Two BIG nod to that!

When you were in the middle of class, your eyelids refused to stay open. You rejoiced when the China-man gave a break time. So, you happily went to the toilet and relieve yourself from the 'dancing in the seat'. Then you found that fate had decided to play a joke on you, putting a horrible and disgusting stain on your..'ahem'..(women physical activity is a big jerk..)!! Alas, there was nothing you could do but skip the class which cost you an attendance mark...

Well, go ahead. Roar with laughter!! Really, unlucky day is an understatement, my dear friends... Thumbs up for my hibernating lady luck... (hear the sarcasm?)

Time for some story-telling... :>

Today, after group meeting at school, Jas and I went to Asian Civilization Museum to kill time since we both had things to do at 5 p.m. The trip was awesome! We especially enjoyed the interactive corner (for kids..haha!). We dressed up as Chinese warrior, Chinese brides+groom, Minangkabao lady (was it? i forgot). And we learned some Indian expressive hand movements! This is a good way to kill time, people... :D

Oh yeah, when we were in the bus on our way to the museum, Jas and I talked a lot about growing up philosophies and how we think that humans get more and more stupid over time because we always take things for granted. Heavy stuffs? Yeah...But it was interesting. I finally found someone that I can talk about these random thoughts! Haha!

And after the trip to museum, I met up with my sister for a movie date. :D We watched Ice Age 3! It was epicly hilarious... I mean it. "Rule #1: Always listen to Buck!" -- Buck the Weasel. "I said to have a talk...and you said 'Raaarh!' " -- Sid the Sloth. I give the movie 4.5/5 for the good laugh it gave me.

On our way home, another random thoughts crossed my mind. I believe I'm in love with my own 'pace' and I couldn't live without it. That explains why I'm always so annoyed when someone or something disturbed my pace. For example, when I'm walking down the road briskly and then someone appeared out of nowhere, blocking my way. I'm annoyed. When my mom comes to my flat and starts to re-arrange my stuffs, I get annoyed. :< I like my own pace, my own order...

Well, that's all for today! Enjoy your weekend~

Greetings, people~

As requested by dear Olivia, I'm going to write a post to explain about what blunder I have done (refer to previous post. :> ). The story went like this...

I was taking my COM488 final test last week... I easily breezed through the questions until! until I came across question No.37.... It was a True/False question, by the way. "The version of this paper is A. Thus, the answer to no.51 is A." And being the dumb-dumb, I over analyzed the whole thing! I thought it was a trick question, so I immediately checked number 51. Well, answer to no.51 is B! Not A! So, I put B on number 37....

And, apparently that was not a trick question. I was supposed to just put whatever it stated (i.e. A)... *sigh* DUMB... I told Ollie about my answer then she advised me to go back to the exam hall and tell the lecturer. I hesitated for quite some time but I went to him in the end. He was a sweetheart, really... he agreed to help me change it and assured me that nothing will happen. And he actually went and double checked everyone else's papers!! What a dear!! I hereby present him the title "The Sweetheart Lecturer of the Year"!! and the title "Dumb-Dumb" for myself... Aaaargh!

========================================

Time for some blabbering, folks!

I chopped off 7+cm of my hair yesterday!! A bit sad to finally say goodbye to my long (and heavy) hair. But it's worth it! My head feels lighter... I'm ready to float, mon ami~!! I also invested in a bottle of anti-friz conditioner (1L) which costed me $110...

And... I bought two pairs of new shoes!! Yay~ One pair of slingback wedge heels - extremely comfortable surprisingly. I didn't get any blister after using them the whole day! And another pair of canvas shoes - brown color, comfortable~~ :D

Oh, have I told you I bought a camera several weeks ago? Canon Powershot A1100IS!! I'm uber happy~~!

Ok, that's all for the blabbers... :>

Jolly hello, everyone~
Just a quick update on what is happening to me lately...

First, on 22nd May 2009 (my birthday! yes!), I went to watch a concert! The awesome of the awesomeness, FF musics: From The Distant Worlds, with Jasimah and Olivia... Valerie, Marcus, Shermin, etc were there too!

I just finished my final exam for one of my 6-weeks-long modules! Result is surprisingly good... If I'm not mistaken, I should be qualified for an A. :D
But!! I made a stupid blunder when doing the paper... It's one extra stupid blunder that earned me the title "Dumb-Dumb". Ling said I'm the ultimate... Aaaaaaaaarrgghhh~~!!

Then, one night after watching Saiunkoku Monogatari, some random (and heavy..) questions struck my mind...Another random thoughts of mine! LOL..

Is it better to not know and carry the sin of being the oblivious, in the end become the ignorant fool?

Or is it better to know and be poisoned by hatred, in the end blood stained the hands and tears frozen halfway down the cheeks?

Is it possible to remain pure when the world is shrouded in darkness and fate is unforgiving?

Is it possible to remain true to oneself when life is nothing but an enormous stage, where no one can survive without putting masks on?

Is it possible to trust unconditionally when one spends his life under mockeries and accusing fingers?

^ Those were what I was thinking then... I haven't found my answers yet though... :<

That's all, folks~
