OHMYGODI’MFALLINGMOREANDMOREINLOVEWITHBATTLESTARGALACTICAANDICAN’TSTOP!

 

And I’m so turned on by Admiral Cain.

 

Repulsed by her ruthlessness but so turned on by her confidence and power and command. The way she assumes command of the Pegasus is like, GIRL POWER AT ITS BEST! Wooooootttttttt~! Haha.

 

And then there are the best friends Apollo and Starbuck. There’s Dee and Gaius, the nerd. Helo and Chief Tyrol and Sharon who’s like SO CUTE! And then there’s the sexy Whiplash…*swoon*

 

And now I’ve to go back to PJ and miss the series..And brilliant 8TV’s showing the Season 1 on Monday nights..I mean show it on weekends laaaaaaa!

Mama : Malam ni imam al – hafiz..

Me : Ahhh great. Old man…

Mama : dari Al – Hidayah..

Me : Form?

Mama : Entah, four, five….

 

Then while we were waiting for the start of Isyak prayers, someone made this announcement :

 

Old man : Memandangkan Ustaz Zul ada urusan lain hari ini maka beliau telah mewakilkan anak muridnya, saudara Syamil….

Me : Syamil…Niiiccceee.

Old man : ..yang akan menduduki STAM dan akan berlepas ke Mesir tidak lama lagi..

Me : He’s older than me…Even nicer!

Makcik Pah : *referring to me* Apasal tu?

Mama : Dia nak tackle imam tu..

Me : Tollllooonnggg sikitttt…Though it would be nice to have someone like that.

Mama : He won’t want someone like you..

Me : Mama la..Tak hantar Kak Ngah sekolah agama.

Mama : Ehh, standard 3. Yang dekat Medan Gopeng tu.

Me : Yeah, where my real competition was in the form of a Standard Five boy whose major intention was trying to prove to me that he was better than me(but he wasn’t cause I beat him by three marks during our Finals..Booo – yah!)

Mama : Lepas tu, dekat surau tu. Yang dengan Syazni, Fendi, Jefri tu..

Me : Yeahhh, where the girls were distracted by the boys constant pleas to “pleeeaaasssee lend us your pencils”.

[P/S : KL, if you’re reading this, I saw BUKHARI(At least I think it was Bukhari, judging from his physique)! He looks gooooddddd!]

 

So, I’ve developed a sense of respect for this guy whom I have not yet seen. But he has an amazing voice and when he recited the Quran, it was, well, beautiful. And when he gave the tazkirah(short sermon) it was fluent. No glitches. He talked as if somehow he was born to do this or as if he had known us his whole life. Very articulate. And for once he deviated from the usual Faedah – faedah Bulan Ramadhan dan yang sewaktu dengannya and came up with something new. He talked about social illnesses and interconnected that with the current Islamic state and somehow he made them sound interesting.

 

I can’t sing enough praise about this guy. Only I do hope someday, I hear of him again and I do hope that he’ll stay the way he is now(clichéd as it may sound&hellip

I feel like I'm being replaced...

It's not a good feeling, trust me. It's like someone or something took me away...

And the only one who understands is so far away.

I told myself that I won't cry anymore. I won't fret. I was chucked, so be it.

Easier said than done really. Simple things, although not said out loud or done unsubtly, bug me.

For once, I'm on the outside...Out of the loophole or whatever it is you wanna call it.

And I don't know if I should find a way back in.

Currently feeling: ...you guess.

I got 2 As, 2 A-, a B and a C+…And a GPA of 3.45…Say it out loud y’all, CT ROCKS! Haha.

 

C+ for Art…Brillo.

 

Ahh, never mind, at least I don’t have to re – take the whole course.

 

Anyways, they have finally decided to divide Stream B into four groups. That means, 80+ students per lecture. Which is good in a way that the lecturers can actually focus on us and there’ll be lesser noise. Not good cause bigger risk in the lecturer catching me should I fall asleep…Haha.

 

Annnnddd I’ve a nasty suspicion that the old Indian lady who invigilated for my PSC midterm last sem will be my Writing For Mass Comm lecturer. Last sem, I spied her teaching that subject so most probably I’ll see her this sem. Hah, Cerenna’s biggest nightmare has finally come true! Blergh.

 

So another six subjects this sem. Management Studies, Fundamentals of Marketing, Social Psychology, Intro to Sociology, Writing for Business and Writing for Mass Comm.

 

Zhen : What in the world are we going to learn in Management Studies?

Me : *shrugs* 10 Ways to Fire People?

Zhen : How many ways are there to fire people you tell me..

Me : I don’t know…I’m just saying. Or maybe they’ll teach us ways to handle employees like YOU.

Zhen : Heyyyyyyyy….

 

Later :

 

Bee Bee : Oh, Fundamentals of Marketing…Greeeeaaattt.

Zhen : What’s with the sarcasm?

Bee Bee : More econs.

Me : You know that was my favourite subject last sem. So no complaints from me…yet.

 

 

Results and hectic schedules aside, I heard they’re releasing The Departed next month. Leo DiCaprio and Matt Damon in one movie…

 

BOOK A SEAT FOR ME!

 

And then there’s John Tucker Must Die, Sophia Bush and Jesse Metcalfe. Should be funny. The review said it’s supposed to be funny…

 

Ooooh, The Covenant! Witchcraft and HOT WIZARDS…Also in November.

 

And then there’s Hugh Jackman in The Prestige. Now if only I can get Gitz out so that we can drool over him together.

You know the best thing about watching footie – related movies?!

 

Hot guys in shorts. ( I read somewhere that March babies are either boy or girl crazy. And I’m a living proof of that eh?! Haha&hellip

 

And in She’s The Man[Girl(Amanda Bynes aka Viola) impersonated twin brother(Sebastian) so that she can get into the guys footie team. Girl became the hottest “guy” in school. Girl fell for her teammate(Channing Tatum aka Duke) but teammate only has eyes on another girl who happens to like the impostor. And it started to get complicated from there and well, you get the picture] you’ll get to see TWO of them hot guys in footie kits…

 

Plus Channing Tatum topless in some of the scenes.

 

But funnily enough, I wasn’t really interested in them boys. I was actually interested in Amanda Bynes.

 

She’s awesomely funny! She has this comical face and she can alter her facial expressions into really funny ones in a matter of seconds. I used to watch The Amanda Show all the time but sometimes I thought the jokes and skits were all ridiculous and just lame. But in She’s The Man, you can really see her comic talent. Particularly in the scene where she just got to Illyria Prep and she was walking down the hallway, trying to get to her room which happens to be at the end of the hallway and eluding boys (who were being boys ie throwing a ball in the hallway, skateboarding etc) and she has these expressions on her face that’s just so funny I couldn’t stifle my laugh no matter how hard I tried and I seriously think I’ve freaked Kak Syam….

 

To those who haven’t seen it, see it. Funny with a capital F.

 

And like I said, Channing Tatum….

 

 

 

…..And Robert Hoffman.

 

Duke : *to fake Sebastian* Why do you have tampons in your bag?

Sebastian / Viola: Uhhh, I get very bad nosebleeds?!

Duke : So you stick them up your nose?!

Sebastian / Viola: What?! You have never done that before? Beckham does it all the time.

 

Sebastian / Viola: *to Duke* Dude, quit blushing. That’s lame.

 

Duke : You can convince her to go out with me!

Sebastian / Viola: Dude, she had that option for like three and a half years.

                              

Sebastian / Viola : *to Duke* You’re an appealing guy…man…guy..man…guyman.

Dear Lord, if you can’t make me skinny, please make my friends fat.

 

I saw it on Xiu Xin’s shirt.

 

“Cute but cruel…” – Sze Yi. Lol.

 

Steppen into campus and the first person we saw wasssss……FIRST DAY ANTHONY! We have decided to christen him that because last sem, when we stepped into campus, the first person we saw was him. This sem we also saw him first. Bee Bee thinks he epitomizes the brillo sem we’ll have ahead..Ptsk.

 

Anyhoo, first lecture was Marketing. Total bore. Although the lecturer was very animated. And I got picked on by the lecturer no less than three times in one session today. Plus, the lecturer insisted I learn Canto in her class. Wheeee~!....NOT!

 

Then, went to the café and I saw Marco. Clad in his Taekwando outfit promoting the Taekwando Club. Gorgeousgorgeousgorgeous as always.(I didn’t say I went off him totally..I said I’m less crazy about him) 

 

After I nearly froze to death during Management lecture, went back to MC and on the way, I saw Marco in a black shirt and his Taekwando pants…eating ice cream.

 

“ CTTTTTTTT! HIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMM!” – Zi Yun.

 

Looks like my friends still don’t know the meaning of subtlety

Ms G : Sports are a form of entertainment. I mean you would want to know who kicked what ball...

Sze Yi : I'm more interested in knowing who kicked WHOSE balls.

Writing For Mass Comm was not fun(okay, the subject is fun, the lecturer not so much). The lecturer is not the lady who invigilated my PSC midterm. BUT she's still strict. No eating in class, no sleeping or else we're marked as absent, allowing only 10 minutes of delay etc. I got so suffocated I nearly threw up. And it doesn't help that she's long - winded. And did I mention that I was freezing my ass off?!

Thankfully she let us off five minutes before twelve so we went up to B3 to catch the UTAR bus. And then :

Mr Boo : *nudging me* Go up to Level 1. Go and watch the Taekwando video.

Me : Why?! What for?

Mr Boo : Just go.

So I went to Level 1 and watched a video of someone demonstarting some of the Taekwando moves and I was practically laughing my ass off because it was a one man show and whomever it is that's on the video looks super funny cause some of the moves reminds me of a particular creature(read:monkey) and it also looks like that someone is some kinda lunatic let loose on the streets.

 ...And then I realise the guy in the video is Marco. Plus, he was standing five feet from me. But I don't think he heard my laughter cause he was preoccupied with something else.

Oh well.

Zhen : Lunc, lets go donate blood!

Me : Excuse me?!

Zhen : Ala, don't be scared. Should you cry, I'll be there to wipe away your tears...Cewah!

Me : A) I don't do blood or needles. B) And even if by some miracle you actually get me to lie on the cold stretch and let some stranger poke a needle through MY veins, I can't. I'm fasting remember?!

Zhen : Fiiinnneee. At least come and accompany me.

Me : Why are you so bersemangat wanna go and donate blood?? Don't give me the Zhen-is-a-nice-guy bull.

Zhen : Cause I have Management lecture in 20 and this is a great way to miss it. I'm helping others. Mr Wesley can't blame me...

Good point actually. So went to accompany him and saw Kelvin and Li Yuen and Lee Lee and Ke Teng. Lee Lee looked worried. Found out she was actually "forced" by Ke Teng. So Zhen went to sooth her worries. I should have recorded him giving her tips cause somehow he looked surprisingly excited for someone whose blood is going to be drained by some stranger with a needle (When I pointed it out to him, he accused me of making donating blood sound so scary)

After waiting for nearly an hour, I had to go to Social Psychology which was undeniably interesting. Particularly cause the discussion was about unwanted pregnancy.

Ms Helvinder : What do you think causes unwanted pregnancy?

Balan :  Peer pressure.

Sam : Stingy. Cause don't want to go to 7 Eleven, buy protection.

Zhen(he slipped into my class after donating his blood) : Soldiers working overtime?! Or hyperactive soldiers!

Jie : Condoms rosak.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the whole Group C of Stream B(with the exception of one penyibuk from Group A = Zhen) is totally corrupted. And according to Balan, that's why we can't store any facts inside our heads.

~ Marked. Awashed. Raptured. Claimed. Owned...Some people have it all.

Daddy : Daughter, why are you so close to that boy?!

Me : What boy?! Who?! I'm close to everybody..

Daddy : That boy..Mr Boo always tell me about you two. He keeps referring to him as your boyfriend.

Me : Huh?!

Daddy : The boy from TB don't know what. The Dennis guy..

Me : Oh, Zhen..He's A friend..Sheesh!

Seriously, Wen Qi has changed. He's more....matured. Responsible even. Especially when it comes to me. He scolds me if I don't pay attention in class or when I'm "too close" to a guy or when I'm too full to eat. It's nice that he cares but it's getting a bit suffocating at times...

Anyway, I can't scold him cause he's not feeling well lately. Kinda worried about him. Mr Boo said he vomited blood last night. That scared me.

And then today was kinda bittersweet for us....Let me see, first Mass Comm tutorial. It was fun. There were a whole lot of misunderstanding during our tutorial cause the tutor used a lot of technical terms and Mr Boo's group kept messing up cause they couldn't understand a thing. Psych tutorial had a whole lot of interaction going on. We came up with nicknames for a bunch of people. Mei Ann is now Pretty Woman, Bee Bee's USD aka US$ aka American dollar, Pei Wen's Chinaman and Sim Yee's Seven Star Chicken. And we spent the whole class in a horseshoe setting and talked nonsense. I even got accused of calling Pei Wen "stupid" when I was saying the word "rapid". And then Mun Ji announced that he's going back to Ipoh to study Aeronautical Engineering.

By the time we finished our Socio lectures (which was spent by trying to solve Sudoku - Cerenna, sleeping - Mr Boo, playing Quadra Pop - yours truly, reading Chinese novels - USD, SMS - ing - Sze Yi..We're a very productive bunch aren't we?! LOL) it was raining heavily outside. While I was busy trying to "pujuk" the others to walk in the rain, I saw a very new, very expensive, very black Nissan Sentra. The driver got out....Zhen.

Zhen : C'mon. I'll send you back to MC.

Me : I don't trust your driving. Besides, whose car did you curi? I thought you drive a Harrier?

Zhen : The Harrier belongs to my sister. This is my car. Just got it yesterday...

God I hate that guy...

Raya Eve

Went back to Penang after breaking fast. We(my sibs and I) were so noisy in the car it was a wonder that my parents' didn't shout at us. My brother played some songs from my phone and we sang along...loudly.

First day of Raya

I woke up at 8am. Quite late cause I wasn't going for prayers. Actually, only my dad and my bro went. After they got back, we started with all them salam, minta ampun dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Then of course, DUIT RAYAAAAAA! Haha. Then, off to my grandunc's house. Met up with my relatives there. My sis, my mom, my aunts, my grandaunt and I were pigging out while my cousins, Iwan was dozing in front of the TV(his mom swears he's like a bat..), Lina was studying Bio for her SPM, Nana was riding her bike and Iman was trying(unsuccessfully) to launch rocket fireworks. After like an hour there, went home to my grandma's cause no one came back for Raya(or so we thought) Later, sometime around 5pm, while we were getting ready to go back to Perlis, droves of people came rushing into the house. My long - lost relatives! My cousins have all grown up and they're all gorgousgorgeousgorgeous! One of my aunts were trying to corrupt me with her untraditional Raya ways.....Oh well.

Then, off to Perlis. Almost everyone were there. Even Bun(whom admittedly I haven't seen in years even during Raya)was there, lounging on the chair. Didn't go anywhere cause it was too late. So went  next door to my aunt's to pig out yet again and I saw them nephews of mine...Ahhhh, so friggin' adorable! Later, the engineers and the future engineers had a small discussion in the living room trying to solve my cousin's final project probs. Then we ate, again! This time, it was nasi tomato. I think I gained 50kgs that night alone.

Second Day of Raya

I actually woke up very early that day. Like 8am early. Then breakfast, coffee, fighting for the bathroom, deciding what to wear and finally, with everyone ready and dressed and smelling nice, went off to my relatives houses. After a couple of hours of eating more food and drinking water that can actually cause me diabetes, we finally went back. Just as I was about to fall asleep on the couch, my nephew, Daniel came in with a string. He tied up my cousin, Alif and pretended Alif was a fish. Later, when Alif went off, he went to my sister, tying her up. And since I was beside her, he tied me together with my sister....And that was how I spent my second day of Raya. Tied up, literally.

Went back to Penang in the evening of the second day and stayed there until the next day. Then, we went off to Kulim to pick up my brother who stayed an extra day in Perlis with my uncle. Had BBQ that night. Lamb, lamb and loadddddssssaaaaa LAMMMMBBB!

Got back to Ipoh by Friday and the next day, I went to Liana's and Fatin's open houses and it was fun, obviously. I mean, put 5 - 6 old friends who had not met up with each other since eons ago under one roof and you'll get laughter, teasings, gossips and torments in large doses. Of course, everyone's favourite question to pose at each other was "Dah ade boyfriend ke?"

Back to PJ the next day. And already lecturers and tutors are piling up assignments and presentations and tutorials and reports. Blergh~!

Bee Bee : You've to find a picture for Mass Comm tutorial. We're going to write a report regarding the picture we choose. And then we have to choose  a country to do a research on for Management assignment. And we still have to discuss about Sociology tutorial which we have to present this Friday and search for journals on child exploitation for Psych assignment. Oh and three tutorials are due this Thursday for Business class..

Me : *to Daddy* HEEEEEeeeeelllpppppp!

In Writing for Business lecture :

Ms Rajamalar : What's a sentence?

Ben : A grouping of words....

Ms Rajamalar : What's a paragraph then?

Sam : A grouping of sentences...

Ms Rajamalar : And THAT is what I call friendship, ladies and gentlemen.

 

And then in Psychology lecture :

Ms Helvinder : Remember the first lecture when I mentioned Nelson Mandela and the ten facts about him?! I said he's a father, a lawyer, a son, a fire - fi...

Me : Huh? Was she about to say Nelson Mandela's a fire - fighter?!

Ms Helvinder : Wait, he's a freedom fighter. I was going to say fire - fighter instead..

 

Later still in Marketing tutorial where the tutor was explaining something about effective marketing :

Ms Ooi : When I mention Giant, what comes to your mind?

Daddy & Me : *instantly* Doraemon..(I wasn't paying attention and the word just slipped out while Daddy was just fooling around)

Mr Boo : Wallllaaahh, memang father and daughter la you both..

Annnndddd, Pei Wen and I had a big blow up in front of David, our Mangement tutor right before I got an SMS from Roshan telling me they had to restrain Zhen from punching his classmate...

I blame it on stress....
