this gets rusty everytime

Depicting a selfish co-worker in a short play.. and having your friends commenting on it being natural. Should I take it as an insult or a compliment?



Attempted baking (not this one) and succeeded! Wait for it!



I will properly compose a long, written, overdue post for all of you. Epiphany comes when I don't call for it.

I know Social Networking meant we'll have to network...


But I don’t need my uni friends following me on Twitter. Some of them already thinks of me as this city girl who refuses to speak in anything but English! 

Not true. They just happened to catch me while I’m on it with my people.

I speak Malay just fine but I feel better typing in English (and speaking in it with the right people). I may not write well but that is not a reason to deter my love for it, no?

-

I had this conversation with my room mate. It took every nerve in my body to not just repudiate her existence. She’s nice but what she asked me was kind of.. unbelievable.


“Kak, ‘both’ tu maksud dia apa?”

“Uhh.. ‘both’ tu macam berdua, kedua-duanya?”

I do hope that my eyes did not pop out that much because to be quite honest I was like "What the hell did you just ask me, girl!"

Anyway, it won’t make any sense if I do try to translate what I explained to her but basically this is just the problem. Our race has this infinitesimal care towards their second language. I dunno whether it’s the culture here in my uni but the love is abysmal in the grammar closet. They’re kinda bad at it. 

I told my room mate to read a lot and she really is working hard to improve herself.

The students from the rural area (the country-folks) understand English to some degree, but sometimes when it reached this kind of bad… I just don’t know what to say when they asked me on how to be good in English..

Well, good television and comics helped me a lot in my younger days. Now, I just read. (and watch TV)



BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER YAY!

2PM Hands Up Live Tour 2011!

It was an orgasmic awesome to goodness experience. Nuff' said.




An intense ride, from the irritating bus ride, traffic jam in Seremban, phew. I took the ERL for the first time! Myself and Seet included had a heck of a day yesterday. Seriously! If I had to repudiate myself from an event yesterday I'll highlight the queuing crowd but that is all. The rest was pure awesome. 


AWESOME!

Woods ain't fun

Excuse me while Megavideo cockblocks Angel from my laptop. I swear to god the internet is jealous at anyone who is enjoying themselves. I wish to repudiate myself from the world with the cessation of limited internet.


Alas, I have to return to hell hole in seven hours. Said my goodbyes to 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. I will be back for her. For Angel too.


Weekends please come!

Long Distance Relationship




Someone recommended this video for me to watch and I have something written as a companion story.

I am just letting you know ahead of time that this is not related to anything living nor dead. Hope you'll enjoy reading this impending disaster :

It was like playing hide and seek.


I forgot how it was, feeling like a child as we ran through the hallway. Homeroom ended a couple of minutes ago and the masses made their way to the lockers. There was no doubt that everyone was staring as us as we begin the notorious run across the hall.


The school's Halloween decorations were filing up the space and I was trying to run away from your grasps. My short legs will never win against your strong built and you were so close behind. It was easy for you to pull me against your arms and hoist me up  for a spin as we laugh jubilantly together.


If I could name one of those magical moments in life, I would recall back all of the memories between us without hesitation.


Perhaps now at your wedding, I could finally swallow the bitter taste of farewell. I never regret embarking on a journey of a lifetime even if it meant that I had to leave you.


You were my beloved.


With that being said, I hope that you can truly be happy.

Catcher in the Rye

Would you believe me if I told you that one of the reasons I've bought this is because the book is Mike's favourite?

Book Depository had this insane 59% off online sale so I couldn't resist.





So, here's a definition of 'Catcher in the Rye'. I was curious about it since I had no blasted idea on what 'rye' is and how it's related to the word 'catcher'. Took this one from Yahoo Answers as a food for thought.

Holden wanted to be the 'catcher in the rye,' as he told his sister in one of the later chapters. He lost his own innocence, but he wants to protect other kids from losing theirs by catching them before they fall off of the cliff in the field of rye (something along those lines - I haven't read it in a while). However, when he's with his sister and watching her on the carousel, he realizes that "sometimes, you just have to let them fall." (My favorite line, hence why I remember it.) Basically, he realizes that being the 'catcher in the rye' is futile. Growing up and losing your innocence is part of life.



Of course I knew J. D. Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye' itself is famous but it was never proposed to be included in our English literature. I suppose the content would aggravate half of this country's population with their recurring absent mindedness about real life in general. Malaysians, seriously ugh! Well, at least we had an abbreviated and simplified 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Doctor Jekyl and Mr. Hyde'. Oh and also 'The Pearl'.

My favourite among the three would of course be POTO. I memorized all of their characterization, names and plots. I had an inane obsession with Raoul de Chagny and had his lines ingrained in my head. Christine Daae on the other hand is a lovely character. One may be annoyed with her love for Raoul and her dedication for the Phantom but you can't really blame her for it. I mean, I dunno what I'll do. Raoul promises happiness but not loyalty. I have to read the novel again (now that I am wiser and not some random chick who has issues with blue eyed blonds)




NanoWriMo is heading to nowhere post 1.4K words.

My command of English is not that good nowadays.. I was graded an A- for GCE-O two years ago. Since my current university requires me to use less flamboyant english, my standards have gone bazooka.

Bomtradadada

Someone told me generously that one day I will be finding the person I'd love the most. I play with the idea in my head, how he would look like, how his voice would resonate with mine.. etc (romantic vomit cue here) I appreciate the thought and I hope that I won't meet that person until I'm at least 26 because courting me would at least take 2 years. You will have to impress my parents because they are hard to be impressed.


For now, I am content just by falling in love with these number of men who are really to blame for my high expectations.


Matt Bomer : Except that, well, he's married with three kids


Lee Dong Wook duh

Yoo Ah In has an attractive laugh


Jensen Ackles - beautiful eyes and dimples, death swoon

Gabriel Macht - life ruiner. I want lawyers for a husband-to-be now

Park Yoochun - need I say more?


TOP - Because he's fucking glorious with all that hairporn

Takano Masamune - Love him in Sekaiichi, forever and ever


Ian Somerhalder - My body just get all twisted whenever he's on my laptop





Asami Ryuuichi - THE WORST LIFE RUINER OF ALL LIFE RUINERS

Oliver Wood - I'd date him

Tom Marvolo Riddle Jr. - I'd marry him with all his evil deeds, just because

Draco Malfoy - I'd Slytherin


Other than the ones listed, there are also others who I'd been mentally married/dated/courted to for a couple of times. We have this convenient relationship where I dump them and marry/date/court them again.

Mentally.



Self-deduced that I am not in need of a boyfriend. There's enough of them in the fiction-world.


The post is irrelevant and trashy for those who are looking for a good read. The rub is that I don't fucking care.
