Journey, Love Tiqah

So, I just got over an extremely uncomfortable butt-sore after my ride to, and back from Perak, to send my sister, Tiqah back to her university.

She's GONE :(

Now I have to wait for one whole month or so, till the next time she gets back (I've still got Afi during the weekends though, so yay! for that). Sadness :'(

Tiqah's actually the only one in the family that is rarely at home. Ever since she entered secondary school, she was already long gone in Negeri Sembilan, and she only comes back like, once a month. The only time we really get to spend time together is during the long holidays, & I am more than grateful for that.

But what I'm MORE thankful for is, the fact that we're still able to bond and maintain the closeness. My siblings are like my BESTfriends, actually MORE. I guess that's when the word 'sibling' comes in. Duhh. A bond beyond human nature no matter how crappily annoying they can get. Woooo. LOL.

Anyway, I'm kinda rushing this post, since I've got a few things to do. Trying my best to keep my promise *winks* It's not that I'm forcing myself to do this, coz that would just make things least sincere. I'm just pushing myself to 'make time' for this, as it's something I love doing. Loving something is not all about 'loving' with all your heart in a stationary state, you've got to actually DO it. As awkward as that sentence just sounded, it is the truth! Objection over-ruled.

EVERYthing I do, or see, or experience & hear in my daily life, I practically narrate them in my head. That's how much I love writing ;)

Even the shortest of conversations I have, I would narrate, opiniate & sometimes laugh about it on my own (psycho, right?lol), which is also part of the reasons why some people tell me, I worry too much. Which is not exactly true, because thinking, re-thinking & narrating is mostly what goes on in my head. So yeah, the point is, 'making time for it', period. Seems to be going pretty well so far :D

In proceeding with the main thing I wanted to talk about(not really, but yeah), Tiqah & I watched the 'Journey To The Center Of The Earth' 3D movie, and it was pure awesomeness. Pretty expensive (MYR17), but still, awesome. My Thursday classes are now only, till 10am, and I've got the rest of the day free. So, this week I accompanied Tiqah to shop for her stuff, and yes, the 3D movie!

We were given this pair of really cool 3D glasses before entering the cinema. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to keep them, lol. The glasses even has an anti-theft detector built in it, anyone caught bringing them out of the cinema would be charged MYR200. Crazy stuff, huh?

The movie was overall worth watching & paying for, though. I kinda fell asleep for about 5 minutes during the movie (lol), coz I was so tired of walking around for 4 hours before the movie.

Tiqah & I thought it would've been better to walk around and shop for stuff first, then, watch the movie, so we bought the 5 o'clock ticket. Dang, that was a bad idea. By the time we got to our seats, my back was already hurting so bad, and I was wearing my brother's old pair of North Star shoes that literally scraped the heck out of my skin.

My feet got quite a good rest throughout the movie, but after that, I was walking around MidValley like some kinda no-feet retard & Tiqah made me wait at Romp again while she tried on the clothes, damn it. LOL. But all in all, I had a great time. Just the feet scraping part.

I miss Tiqah.

That idiot. LOVE.

Whoops, one last thing, there's a new Twilight Movie Trailer!!! Enjoy!!

Panic Morning!

Last night, I was planning to stay up & help my sister bake cupcakes for her friend's birthday. It was already a quarter to midnight, and I was on yahoo messenger with Sara, joining forces in debating and discussing about, why we hate Prince Caspian.

We came up with a few reasons like,
i) his annoying French/Italian/whatever wannabe accent

ii) he messed up Peter & the Narnians' plan which caused the death of a lot of the Narnians (yeahh, that's the part that made me cry, bluekk =P)

iii) he blamed Peter for the failure of the attacking plan, when clearly, HE was the one who went side-track due to his stubborn self, and actually thought he would succeed in killing King Miraz.

Basically that's it. Not that it matters to you guys anyway (right,lol). Just felt the need to lay out the progress of our 'discussion'. ANYWAY, the 'discussion' ended a cliff hanger, when Sara suddenly told me about a seminar we had to attend the next day (today), at 7.30am..
I had no idea about it! How ignorant of meeee!! And there I was, relaxing, enjoying hating Prince Caspian, with icing colouring dyed to my fingers & a long night planned ahead.

Night got cut short, to sleep early (KONON laa, it was already 2am). Set my alarm to 6am (since it takes me an hour plus plus to get ready), and went straight to bed. I remember having quite a nice dream, but all blurry, when there was an abrupt knock on my room door. A loud one. Then, I heard my mom, "Qilaaa, are you ready? Let's go!".

I checked my phone, and it was...7.20am!! (recap : Seminar at 7.30am!) I literally jumped out of my bed, and started running around the house crying to myself, "Omg! omg! What am I gonna do?!". Those were the only words I kept repeating, but no action was taken. I have no idea WHY, but I continued running around the house with no direction, no plan, just my crazy morning hair. I was debating with myself, whether I should go or not, but it'll be dumb to miss such an opportunity. It would've taken too long for me to bathe, and SO, I resorted to doing one of the things I HATE MOST. Hopped into my jeans, long sleeves, tudung! And left the house UNBATHED!!! Huaaaaa...The horror!!

Well, I definitely made sure enough deodorant was put on. Managed to wash my face & brush my teeth. And touched up in the car on the way there. Gaaaaawwwd, it was like a panic attack that morning! Thank God, I at least, looked presentable! Turns out, they just said 7.30am, coz they were serving breakfast, which was Nasi Lemak, with sambal that was friggin hott, and got a lot of people running in & out the toilet throughout the seminar at the DTC, which only started at 8.30am. *Sighs*

Ohh, and to my friends who're reading this, whoever hugged me, or sat beside me today, I am truly sorry, BUT, it's TOO late to hate me, lol. Naaw, I am B.O-free, I smell good either way ;)

I also had class today. Applied Electromagnetic Theory, from 2-5pm. It was suppose to be a sub for the missed ones this week. Apparently, it's officially the new day & time for the rest of the semester. GREAT. The lecturer's pretty scarry, but the scarry ones are usually the fun & easily understood ones. A few of the nice ones are the type who just reads off the slides, how fun -_-

Well, that's about it for today.
Seize the day babyy!!

Update, A Promise & A Rant

I actually recorded a really crappy audio blog about a week ago, but decided not to post it, coz I felt that it might've just wasted 10 minutes of any innocent being's life.

I was helping my mom cook awhile ago, and damn, frying chicken feet is bloody scarry. It's like a battlefield. lol. It was pretty funny seeing my mom do it at first, coz she was jumping around everytime she dropped a piece of chicken in the frying pan, and all I did was laugh at the side. When it was my turn to take over, the first chicken feet I dropped in, started popping like nobody's business, and the oil aimed directly to my face. Ouch! (that hurt BAD). The left side of my face's already scarred enough, from the last virus that hit me when I was in matriculation about 2-3 years ago. NOW, I don't want any additions to that.

Anyway, there're a few things I want to talk about, and I think it'd be best that I write em down in a form of a list, since I tend to get pretty disorganized when I have a lot to say.

1st Week in Campus
was pretty much like every other '1st week' in campus. Different schedule, didn't really get to meet all my coursemates since a lot of the classes has different groups, and we're all like, divided & torn apart & taken away from each other. How sad & tragic! It never hit me, how nerve wrecking it is to be in the 3rd year, until we were told to register for the Industrial Training workshops. I started being all 'zombie' like, coz in my mind, I was busy forming the lists of things I have to start working on. Loads.

I'm just glad that I'm finally retired from PKUM, and free to do other things, not just physically, but mentally too, since I don't have to go thru all the extra stress when I'm doing something that's not related to PKUM or uni-work. I'm still working on training myself to be able to maintain a good balance in my life. What I mean by 'balance' is the ability of concentrating on the things I like, like writing, twilighting & JUST recently, reading, lol, & not neglecting what's important like my family & studies.

I may have potrayed myself as an undisciplined person (lol, which I'm certainly NOT), since I've failed to update my blog weekly, and I know 'busy' is definitely NOT an excuse.Therefore, I'm making it a point, that I will post at least twice a week, every week from now on. And to the people who actually follow my blog, I grant you, full permission to shoot me, if I'm not able to perform as promised ;) And please, get ur gun license first ;P


TwiHards Anonymous Audition
There's this new channel on youTube created by Twilighters, TwiHards, in which I found out about, from my Twilight bestee, Emma ;D It's basically a channel that consists of 7 Twilight lovers, assigned to all 7 days of the week, who'll be making videos every week, expressing everything & anything they want about the Twilight Saga, Stephenie Meyer, the Twilight Movie, the release of Breaking Dawn, etc, in any simple or creative way they decide to do so. It's actually just like normal vlogging, only that it involves more of Twilight.How fun is that! Weeee! They're currently having auditions for the 7 spots.

I got all excited about it, and decided to try out! We were suppose to make a video, answering the questions they listed down, & basically just try to make it as creative as possible,be real, be ourselves & hopefully they'll like what they see.I'm not sure how I did, but the results are coming out on the 17th, and I really don't mind if I don't get it, coz it was fun enough, auditioning. Slightly embarrassing, but FUN.

Embarrassing UM Letter in The Star
I was flipping thru The Star newspaper yesterday, and I usually I like to check out the reader's letters section. In BIG BOLD letters, a letter that caught my attention, "Varsity letter instils fear & hatred". And right there, comfortably screaming for attention in the very first paragraph, stated 'University Malaya'. All I could remember repeating in my head as I was reading that embarrassing piece of illustration, was WTF?!

If you haven't read it, here's part of it :

I READ with concern a letter issued by the current head of graduates of
Universiti Malaya to all Malay undergraduates in the university. This letter
contains an endorsement from the university's 'Hal Ehwal Pelajar & Alumni'.
A photograph of the sender was proudly attached.

This letter advocates racial divide and instils fear and hatred for one
race against another. The non-Malays are referred to in a derogatory manner and
the Malays are instigated to prepare for an impending racial clash.

I can't even find the right words to describe how much it affects how I feel as a Malay student in University of Malaya. The whole 'racial issue' has always been one of my concerns ever since I entered university life, coz it has never been an issue when I was in school. One of the main reasons why I chose to study in UM is because of the multi racial mix. However, I never expected the level of stupidity JUST based on racial respect to be that BAD.

I just can't stand Malays being judged the wrong way, based on the f---ed up doings of certain groups of people who actually believe that we're so weak, that we have to fight against the impending racial clash. HELLO, have some friggin confidence! All the bulls--- about us going down the drain is totally unacceptable. Coz I believe that we're all capable of achieving success for Malaysia, no matter what race, Malay, Chinese, Indian, etc. Everyone is just as good as each other & we all have to learn things the hard way. So if you think you might not be able to get a job in the future, just because you 'think' other races are better, I'd tell you "GET YOUR BUTT OFF THE FREAKIN COUCH AND START STUDYING BI--H!".

We're in the 21st century for God's sake! Those topics shouldn't even be an issue anymore. It should be extinct! It just gives me a headache everytime I think about it.

Sorr for the swearing, it just really gets on my nerves.
Yup, this post has been an official rollercoaster ride. Have fun riding it!
I shall continue what's left to be scraped outta my head in the next post, soon!
