new year

There goes year 2007 and here comes year 2008.
Any plans??

I totally like any other year do not have any particular special feelings for celebrating a whole new year. So what if its 2008? I still got to live on like usual.
Maybe there is a difference
-I'm no longer in A Level
-I'm getting more matured (age wise)
-I'm entering University
-I'm getting more new friends
-I might be losing old friends

Just a few days back, I was at Jusco (again) and I met my best friend, Jayne. We haven't really like message each other everyday but if we online in msn we do catch up with each other's life. Back at Jusco, we talked for a while and I can't help feeling that we aren't that close anymore. Her with her UTAR life style and friends, me with my HELP friends and life style. There was an obvious difference in the way we think. The last time we hang out together was during September and well, our conversation was sort of boring (for me because I can't help feeling like yawning). Sometimes she does stop by at my house and we have a quick chat and all but some how, things are not the same anymore.

I guess it would be the same for those friends I hang put with in HELP. We will stop keeping in touch and become those normal 'hi, bye' friends eventually. Sad isn't it? Look back to our primary school friends, we bonded and I'm happy to say that my old buddies are still around and we chat in msn instead of going out 'yum cha'(or maybe it's just me not joining them). I still can remember some of my standard 1 classmate's name but not them sadly. Anyway, what I wanna say here is.....I don want to lose the close friendship we formed!!! I MISS YOU GUYS!!!

dilemma and mom!!!

Merry Christmas and a happy 2008!!!

Ya, its a joyous month and people are having HOLIDAY but most of us here are having STUDY BREAK instead. Notice the difference?? Holiday is one word and it means having to do whatever we want as long as we enjoy ourselves. Study break, is 2 words and it means people can do whatever they want but you are stuck with your books because you need to study!!!!

I instead of studying, have been rereading all the Harry Potter books. Yes, ALL!! Before that, I was indulging in another few books. Noticed, its books and not notes!!! My finals, 3rd semester's A level exam, the last exam before I officially finish my a level is starting on 11th of January. What have I touched lately?? Hmm....NOTHING!!!!!!

Yesterday on Christmas Eve, My family (including my brother) went shopping at Low Yat. Actually, the guys went shopping, my mother, sister and I were sitting at Coffee Bean reading. My mother with her Law book while my sister and I with Galaxie....yes, GALAXIE and not notes!!!!! Later at night, we went for dinner (without brother) and the topic resurfaced. Its not abnormal nor normal that my dad sit down and talk about my future. Yes, he repeated himself, he does not have fund to sponsor my studies in medicine. Next thing he said was :" Next year my tour group will be lesser because there's this lady who is getting quite popular...." His hint was quite obvious right?? My mother on the other hand keep encouraging me. I'm stuck in between. Should I continue and keep my stand firm in studying medicine or should I start looking for other options?? Loan is something that I can apply, but I do hope I can get scholarship. Difficult but will try. But should I still stick to the plan of studying medicine??

On 22th of December, my mother had her convocation. She completed her 4 years of Law. The convocation was held in Times Square Hotel and it was predicted to end by 5pm, stated at 3pm. Surprisingly it stated sharp at 3pm (I thought will start at typical Malaysia's time) and it ended by 4pm!!! It was so short and the speeches by the college's principal and the ex-judge was short!! But ya, we were proud. Bet you do not have a 50 year old mother studying and graduating eh =p

MY MOTHER!!

Next, we went and hang out at Times Square before going to Crowne Plaza for buffet at a cafe called Planters' Inn.
Food was great but not much choices. A few pictures.....
cheese!!!!
desserts!!!!

Well, I had about 15 plates of food and I end up puking in the toilet. Just joking, I was so full that I could not move. Guessed I've lost my ability to actually eat big amount of food.
I'm so mighty proud of my mother because I have a Law graduate mother!!!!!

DisturBing

Emily reached her workplace (a music school) in a hurry because she had to finish her group assignment with her friends in college. In the mist of changing for work in her room, she grabbed her favourite light brown mini skirt that was on her bed and the pink blouse that she wore yesterday for supper.

By 5.15pm, her boss, a music teacher left the office after her last student left. Emily felt relieved because finally she can sit and relax after a stressful day in college. She took out her dinner that was packed by her mother and the "Cleo" magazine that she bought last week. She was so busy with her assignment that she didn't have the time to even browse through it. She also forgot she was alone in the school.

By 5.30pm, there was a knock at the main door. She reached out her hand and pushed the 'open' button at the side of the desk to open the magnetic main door. While doing so, both her eyes were glued to the beautiful gown wore by the oh-so-thin-an-beautiful model. To her surprise, a dark, big and tall guy in his late twenties with a long mane walked up to her and greeted her. He came to enquire some music lessons for her niece. After explaining and answering the guy's questions, he left and she beamed at her capability to handle the situation even when her thoughts were still roaming around the gown that she fell in love with within seconds ago.

After about 5 minutes, another knock was heard and this time she looked up to check. It was the same guy that came moments ago. Emily smiled and opened the main door, getting ready to get a new enrollment for the music school. The guy approached the desk and asked if he could use the toilet. Feeling a little disappointed, she pointed the way.

Out of the blue, he took out a knife and pointed at her.
" Take out all your money and valuables!!"
Shocked, she followed those orders. She took out her purse, hand phone, watch, golden necklace and her silver ring then laid them on the desk. She could not find her voice and was dumb-struck. The next instruction was even shocking.
"Take me to the toilet now!!
Emily's heart was beating furiously and was afraid what might be waiting for her in the toilet. With a knife pointed to her, she can do nothing but lead the way.

" Get in!!"
He pushed her into the cubicle. She was already shaking violently but still could not find he voice.
"Take off your clothes!!"
She swallowed her saliva and could not believe her ears.
"TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES NOW!!"
She can now hear her heart beat, fear spreading from her chest and everything around her was moving in slow motion.

Taking her clothes off feels like eternity but with the touch of that monster at her hand, she found the strength to jerk off his hand and stepped away from him. A plan started to form in her head. Run out in naked and push him away the scream? But he's so big and tall!! Scream now? But the main door is locked!! If I stay here, I'll die!! Oh God, what is happening??!!

That man took out a masking tape and raffia strings then started to tie her hands and both her legs. Then he use the masking tape to further tighten the string and cover her mouth. Emily thought, this is the end of it. Flashes of her family, parents, friends was all going through her mind as that monster thrust his manhood into her. Touching her body, her face, hushing her to stop crying.....

Suddenly someone was knocking at the main door. It was her savior but Emily could not think anymore. She felt like asking that monster to kill her. But till then, she still could not find her voice.

Outside at the main door, Janice, a student who came early for class was curious why Emily haven't open the door to let her in. She knocked harder this time. That monster quickly retrieve his knife threaten Emily not to do anything stupid. He untied her and asked her to dress.

" You go out and ope the door. Act like nothing happened. Do you hear me? If you tell anything to that person outside, I'll kill you both. Now stop crying!!"

Emily walked out of the toilet, surprised by her calm composure, opened the door. That monster in disguise followed her at the back and slipped out. When Janice stepped into the school, she can feel something was wrong. Emily coming to her senses, quickly shut the door and broke down crying. Janice who was younger than Emily by 2 years started to comfort her and asked what happened.

After hearing what Emily had to say, she quickly called her mother and teachers. Then she continue to comfort Emily. When they arrived, it was Janice's turn to break down and cry while repeating Emily's tragic. Emily was sitting on the floor by the desk, shaking and sobbing. What was running through her mind was :' Will I get pregnant..'

Police report was made and till now that monster was not caught. Emily recovered after a month but no one dare to confirm if she did heal. Rumours spread and that monster apparently cut his hair and still have the nerve to visit the music school once in a blue moon.


Why am I writing this?? It happened early this year and is still in my head till now. I guess writing this of sort of help me to overcome it, especially when I am alone....

movie marathon

Woke up and decided to go watch movie. Actually last night my mom was announcing she desperately want to watch The Golden Compass so I flipped the newspaper and the TV showed I Am Legend's trailer so my sis and I said we want to watch that movie and ended up planning our timetable.

11am--I Am Legend
2pm--The Golden Compass

So we woke up at 10am, quickly got ready and went to Metro Prima Kepong. Yup, we went according to plan.

I Am Legend

This movie is the first some sort of horror movie that I watched in cinema because it was very exciting and I can feel the adrenaline rush through out the movie. I can also sense my mother who was sitting beside me shouting "what am I doing here torturing myself!!!" My mother banned us from watching horror movie because she feels that it's not worth the money to get scared and "torture" yourself just for the sake of the movie.
~This movie is about a Colonial who was immune to a virus and became the sole human survivor in New York. He being hopeful will go to the port to wait for any other survivor after broadcasting his existence through the radio (AM) everyday. His only companion is Samantha his German Shepard. Anyway, this virus at first was a cure for cancer and it was doing well for few years hen suddenly those who was under the medication turned wild like had rabies. Anyway, these virus contaminated human always bite and kill. In the end, after 3 years he found the cure and ....you watch and find out. Highly recommended to watch in cinema because of the sound system and all. Scary part was he trapped one of the Dark Seekers to do research for the cure and when he......suspense....read all about it at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(film)

The cinema is located on the top most level. After the movie we had 1 hour to spend so we went down to level2 for food. At the escalator down, I saw a familiar guy at the piano selling booth. He was wearing a extra big Grey t-shirt and jeans. Well, this time he did not tucked in his shirt. I went and stood beside him hearing him asking the seller some stuff. When he saw me, he smiled and said:" You again??" Hahahaha.....
Had a bowl of hot noodles and off we went for the next movie.

The Golden Compass

This is a typical fiction story. Sort of reminded me of Narnia and Harry Potter. Anyway, my mother wanted to watch this show badly because apparently the big commotion just like when Harry Potter got famous is repeating itself. They were saying all these witchcraft stuff are polluting the minds of (no offense, just writing what I read in newspaper) Christian. My mother is worried she would not have the chance to watch if the government decided to ban this movie. Anyway, the story is different from the book.
~ Started with the kids and Lyra the main character playing around. Then Asriel (Daniel Craig) came into the scene talking about Dust. Then Lyra went and stayed with Mrs.Coulter (Nicole Kidman). Escaped and got to know that her buddy Roger got kidnapped. So off she went to the North to save him and rejoin her uncle, with her war mates and well daemons. These daemons are animals that share the same soul as the owner. You hurt the daemon, the owner gets hurt too. Anyway, the golden compass is a compass that tells the truth and only certain people can read this compass. Bla bla bla.....read all bout it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Compass_(film)

My brother got a new laptop which I am using now. At last a screen which is full and colourful!!! Yipee!!! Now I can browse through all the pictures that I missed. Yup, I wasted the whole day at Metro Prima and ya, here too but well, sad to say this but I think I did not get accepted to IMU because the acceptance letter were released on 15th Dec and so far no letter for me yet. But I received 3 Christmas presents already!!! Compensate back whatever I've lost......

Asian Idol

OMG!!! I just can't believe that Singaporean guy won the title!!!
The most powerful voice we could easily agree that Jac or Mau, the Philippines gal has a very powerful voice. Unique and soothing voice I would say will be dear Mike. I like him very much, he's so cute like teddy bear and so humble. The most showmanship I would say is Abhijit from India. Well, typical Bollywood style and the song he sang-Junoom is Karam's favourite song!!! We can always hear it in his car on our way for lunch. The Vietnamese gal like what Kent Lim said, has a package. Her voice is nothing to wow about but still is decent.

Now, that Hady from Singapore is obviously egoistic and so full of himself. He knows that he do not stand out among the 6 constants thats why when the result was announced he was so shocked. We can see sincerity from Mike and Abhijit but not from him at all!!! Gosh, the moment the result was announced I totally no mood to watch but to change channel. I rather watch a Malay programme.

Maybe you say I'm anti Singaporean but I clearly understand what I am feeling. I feel cheated and I do not want him to represent Asia in any singing competition. He'll definitely lose!!! Call me a sore loser but I still do not want him to be the Asian Idol. HE DOES NOT REPRESENT US ASIAN AT ALL!!!!!! I think the voting system has faults. I've sent in a few and that few was rejected like this morning!! I sent in at 10pm and when I woke up this morning there lying in my inbox was a message stating my vote is invalid. I was so angry an felt sorry for the other 6 idols.

STUPID!!!!!
