love reigns over all in the world?

Just finished rewatching ISWAK and TKA for the third time (and cried my eyes out again), and I can never get over how amazing the story is.

I know people will say Xiang Qin is a little too dumb, a little too stupid, and a girl who puts way too much importance on love itself, but I can't help but think TKA is like, the perfect story. The girl reflects a lot of girls in the world, imperfect, a little silly sometimes, but a romantic at heart no matter what. The only difference is that Xiang Qin has the courage to stand up for what she believes in, and the courage to confess to the one she loves.

And that confession gave her a lifetime of happiness. With her husband, whose imperfection comes with his cold attitude, and his huge amount of jealousy, but is polished off by how suave he is, and how devoted and dedicated he is to his wife.

And unlike her, I'll never get the courage to actually tell anyone I like about whatever I feel, or think. Oh well, what to do? I'll be an old maid. :P

compulsory subjects are the pits. >.<

Can someone please tell me why Malaysian Government insists on Malaysian Studies for every Malaysian student in college? C'mon! I mean, sure, five years of it in high school is compulsory, that I accept. But college?! Why?! Is there really a point? All we do is re-learn things we already learnt about in class back in high school, not to mention its a complete waste of my money.

First Malaysian Studies class today, which was an absolute bore. I spent most of the time chatting with friends, or reading my book.

Hall where we were doing our class. It was the whole of March intake MUFY students in one auditorium, and darn, there were quite a lot of people. Me and Joyce were expecting less people to turn up. Not that it mattered though, since everyone gravitated behind and the front two rows were empty. I suspect that most came just to catch up with friends. :p

My row. I was next to Li Fan, and Joyce was on my other side. During class, we were sorta snacking on Ivy's strawberries while talking away, and... er... I think the lecturer saw? Ah, don't care la. Not as if i like being in MS class anyway. Pssh.

This is what boredom makes you do. Note how people behind were chatting and looking at phones? No one was listening in class at all! The only reason I have my glasses on was to communicate with a couple of my friends sitting further in front, Cherly and Qing. :P
No one was listening, need I repeat? Thats Li Fan, the absolutely adorable, random girl. xD Excuse the fact that I look fugly here. Bottom up was never my best angle, but I didn't want to put the camera topwards riight. Too conspicious. xD

The only thing that kept me sane during the class was a book, and friends. This book in particular. xD Have I ever mentioned that I adore historical romance books? I love them. I have a whole huge collection to them, no thanks to Jessica who got me addicted to them. xD Favourite writer has got to be Julia Quinn, but I go for any type, any writer, really. :P

After an excruciating hour and a half, we were given assignments to do, and then we spent the rest of our time discussing. Me went in a group with Joyce, Qing, Chery and Wei.

The hand would be Chery's. She's such a cutie. Damn I still need to get a picture of her. She practically dragged me out of the hall just cause she didn't want to go to the toilet herself! xD

And then I went home at 12.30, and spent the whole afternoon doing my nails. 4 hours later, and my back hurts, and my nails are somewhere near perfect. My right hand still sucks, cause the coordination of my left hand is lousy, and the tiny beads were so hard to do!! But I'm... sorta satisfied. Wana see?

I place tiny beads across the whole nail, and then hearts on the beads. They look adorable. Now here's to hoping those beads don't fall off before tomorrow. >.<

Almost time to cook dinner now. Toodles people!

Night market loves. xD

Homg holidays are a bore.

I know I know! I've been complaining about my school work and stuff, but then once holiday mood starts to wear off a little, they really start to get boring you know? With nothing to do all day, noting but the computer and the telly to keep you company wears off a little. Luckily I have my fandom to keep me alive. xD

Went to my brother's house yesterday, cause its been a week or so since I moved and I've never actually seen them since, so yeah, I went over to my internetless brother's house. God when I came back, there was SO MANY THINGS for me to catch up on. Amazing how stuff can accumulate in just one night.

Oh! And guess what we had for dinner at my brother's house? No cooking. We went to the pasar malam! Or night market. The night market in Malaysia is probably one of the few most amazing things around. No air-con sure, but you get cheap, and nice stuff!. They have an amazing amount of stuff there.

Warning! Crap quality pictures ahead. Pictures taken by useless W380i. Walkman phone. NOT a camera phone. >.<
From vegetables

To hairstuff. Clips, pins, hairbands, hair accesories, you name it they have it.

Chicken! I can see them cutting and chopping at it... which is pretty freaky actually. To see those butchers chopping the chicken's head off, albeit it being dead and all. But.... since I cook it.... *wince*


There's even CD's there! Pirated of course. Look, I even found...

Super Junior's 2nd album! Amazing how Malaysian piracy business can be huh? They even have the exact album cover and all. xD Not that I bought it. I have better things to spend on. Like the best part of Malaysian night market. Guess what is it?

Food! Night market has the widest variety of food! chicken, burgers, noodles, rice... everything! To have dinner there is like heaven and earth. I walked around buying a little of everything and ended up with a bloated stomach. xD They even have these!

Kebab chicken! My favourite food! They roast the whole chicken, and then slice off piece by piece to make it in to a delicious pita. Hot piping roasted chicken is the best. xD

Oh! And look who came to visit while I was at my brother's house!

Baby second cousin. xD She's the new daughter of my cousin, Rowanne, and she's absolutely adorable! very fragile though, so I didn't dare to take a picture of her and me together, I needed both hands to carry her, but she's SO ADORABLE. And she needs people to actually rock her and walk, cause apparently, she wants to 'see things'. Don't know how far from the truth is that, but she's ADORABLE. xD

Came back today, and after watching too much of Bambino, I cooked spaghetti!


of course, not as good as the ones at Baccanale, nor as good as the one Bambi cooks, but it'll do. At least it satisfies my cravings. And to me, this is what makes a spaghetti.
Parmesan cheese. <3333 It never fails to satisify my cravings. xD

Anyway! I'm sorta addicted to Gimmick Game by Nino now, and I have Malaysian Studies at college tomorrow. Ish. What sorta crazy college puts Malaysian studies during the one month long holiday. Rawr. I shall go cultivate mushrooms now!

pictures!

been really busy lately. catching up on sleep and watching a new drama, Bambino, which stars none other then my darling Matsumoto Jun, member of famous Japanese boyband Arashi. I've been neglecting my poor blog. T-T But nevertheless! Short pictures post, before I go back to finishing my Bambino. Two more eps! <333 size="1">

All pictures from Lene's camera. Amazing Nikon DSLR<3333

we met the cutest mascots in Pyramid! The duck was adorable. Whenever she' spoke' a squeaking noise came out! And she acted so cute and embarrassed, it was adorable. Missing Rosh here, cause she was taking the picture with Lene's camera.


All self-obsessed pictures. xD Second one was taken in A Cut Above while waiting for her to cut her hair, and the first one was in the toilet, taken by Rosh. xD

Oh! ANd while waiting for Lene to get her hair finished, I went a little crazy in the saloon and started snapping pictures of everything and anything there. The result?

Nice? Nice?! I kinda liked them actually. xD Not as on par as the rest of the pro photographers, but they're sorta good, right? right?

And I'll do a longer, lengthier post tomorrow. Half dead now. *dies*

Night at the Museum 2 : Battle of the Smithsonian

The sequel to Night at the Museum, Ben Stiller reprises his role as Larry Daley, now owner and CEO of a company he founded himself, manufacturing inventions he created himself. However, even at the start of the movie, Larry can be seen to be stressed and overworked, and then Larry pays a visit to his old workplace, the Museum, where he finds all the figurines being packed up in to boxes. It was only then that Larry found out the Museum was to be closed for upgrades, and most of the figurines shifted to the Smithsonian Instituition, underground storage the next day. Or as far as I remember anyway.

But then, Theodore, or Teddy as Larry calls him, suddenly reveals to Larry that because the tablet that brings them all to life isn't following them, that night will be the last night they were able to come to life as well. Larry tries to help, but as influential as he was then, he wasn't able to help much. That,and the fact that most of the figures there doubted Larry's loyalty to them, especially because Larry's phone seemed to be constantly ringing off the hook for business all the while he was there.

Larry's efforts prove fruitless, and the next day, all the figurines were moved to the underground storage. But that evening, Larry received a call from Jedediah, remember the miniature cowboy? He called Larry, and said apparently they were in big trouble, because Dexter the monkey stole the tablet and brought it along, and it had awakened Kahmunrah, Akhmunrah's elder evil brother. Remember this guy?

Yeap, thats Akhmunrah. He apparently has an evil elder brother. I think his cuter. :P

According to Nicky, Larry's son, if that was true, then the worlds largest museum would come to life. Anyway, Larry rushed over to get to Jedediah's and the rest's aid, and that's when the story starts.

I actually found the second installment just as amusing as the first! There were much more new characters, The Thinker, Abraham Lincoln, even Einsteins! But I can't choose between the two I like most. There was Jedediah and Octavius!
How those two were enemies at first in the first movie, but how they gradually became friends? You can actually see how Octavius and Jedediah are really best friends in this movie. Its really amusing to watch their friendly banter, yet at the same time see how they cover each other's backs.

And then there's Dexter.

Remember this cute lil monkey? His got a counterpart in the sequel! Its amusing how he meets his counterpart, and then in monkey language, the Smithsonian one asked Dexter, "What are you doing in my museum?" and then Dexter replies, while pointing at Larry whom was standing next to them. "His my human, of course I'm here!". Dexter claiming Larry is way too amusing. :P

Of course, not forgetting the Cupid Jonas Brothers! I didn't actually realize it at first, but when they started singing LoveBug, I went 'OMG IS THAT JOBROS'. xD Joe Cupid Jonas is rather adorable. :p

All in all it was a good movie, with new characters, but still integrating the old ones, and rather humorous too, despite the rather cloudy plot on how Kahmunrah wants to take over the worled with Napolean, Al Capone and some other... leader, I forgot who. But it was a good movie, and I'd give it a 7.5 over 10.

yes yes I know

I do have Computer Science and exam on Monday, but hey, what are Saturdays and Sundays for? So guess where I went today?

Pyramid! Together with Charlene, Rosh and Ravee, whom were celebrating the end of their exams. *muttergrumble* But anyway! We first got to the cinema to buy the tickets to the 2.30 screening of Night At the Museum 2. The line was bloody long. I think me and Rosh spent about... 20 minutes lining up there? Got the tickets to the movie, and then we went for lunch at Ajisen Ramen.

The one with the tongue peeking out is Rosh, the crazy, smart girl who got her JPA scholarship, and then one on the right is Ravee, the silent but so amusing girl. :P From Kuala Selangor, she's so quiet, but she's really very amusing, in a cute way of course.

Me and Lene. Blurry pics courtesy of the smart JPA girl. *smacks Rosh* But also partly cause our food came by then, and of course, who can resist food!


Yummy yummy chicken teriyaki bento set at Ajisen Ramen. The rice that day was a little dry though oddly, but the miso soup made it alright. :P After that we went to do a little shopping! Didn't buy much though that day, since we were sort of busy rushing for the movie at 2.30, so all I did was get a tank top from F.O.S and three earrings for RM10. :P

And then we went for the movie at 2.30, where SHOCKHORROR we found that the guy we booked the tickets from booked the 1.35 movie for us instead of 2.30's! The four of us panicked a little, me, Lene and Rosh went to the counter to ask what happened. But luckily, TGV was kind enough to let us have four seats in the 2.30 slot, and we got in.

Night At The Museum 2 was really good! Ben Stiller was as good as ever, and the whole plot was fast paced too! I never really watched the first one, but never the less, I enjoyed the second one immensely, and i can't wait to get my hands on the DVD. Planning to watch the first one tomorrow too, before I do a full review on the movie. :P

Anyway, after the movie we went to the toilet, where a camwhoring session ensued. God knows how many times we made fools of ourselves that day. First at lunch where we were busy taking pictures (*cough Charlene and her million pictures cough*), and then at the toilet like madwomans. :P


Me and Lene, with her awesome Nikon DSLR. I'm so in love with it. Everytime she brings it, I end up taking more pictures then her! Which reminds me, LENE! Send me the pictures I took,and the ones with me in it. I want i want i want!! Plase? :P


And the four of us together in the toilet of all places. Nice mirrors ma! Look at me, the tallest kena push behind wuwuwuwu. ;_;

Rosh with my Lene's DSLR. She apparently likes it. :p Who doesn't?! Its a darn DSLR!

Then after the half an hour long camwhoring session in the toilet, Lene went off to get her hair cut, and I brought Rosh and Ravee to Marrakesh to get their bags. Of course, I wasn't gona get one, I have way too many bags already, if I get one I risk getting my eyes cut out from their sockets. So while they buy, I...


Whore out my camera again wtf.

Okay la enough with my syok sendiri pics la! Thats it for today. There's actually more pictures from where I was sitting with Lene while she was getting her hair cut, after Rosh and Ravee went back, but the pics are all in her DSLR, so... next time then. :P

end of exams! Not.

Yeah right. Most of my friends ended their exams today, so I went out with Joyce, Chien, Wei and Joe to Pyramid for lunch after my Econs exam earlier. Wtf super last minute lor our plans, but doesn't matter. :P One thing though, Sushi King is awful if you wana get good Jap food. Cheap food yes, but in terms of freshness or variety, its the worst.

Didn't bring my camera so no pictures. :(( Its so unfair lor! The econs/accounts people finished exam today, Lene, Rosh and Ravee finishing on Friday. I think I'm the last of my gang to finish on Monday, Computer Science. Sheeeesh.

On another note, exams today was pretty easy. Not that easy lar, and I wouldn't guarentee an A, but its not bad. Damn its I spent hours studying Market Structure and the paper gave me PPC. Pssh.

So! Some random pictures.

Made dumplings! You know the chinese dumplings they make every year, with the meat inside and the glutinous rice outside? Yeah! Made it. But I never got to take a picture of actually making it, as in wrapping it and all, cause I was at college, so I only took a picture while I was making the meat. >.<
The book that took up most of my week last week. But it was well worth it la~ Cause it was for my dhamma teacher, whom we celebrated teacher's day late a week cause she wasn't around on the week of teacher's day. We even bought a cake for her! Well not be specifically, but Ben. Lookie!

What was it again? Mocha? Marble? It was a cheesecake la, that I can remember. And it has the damn awesome oatmeal crust which was super mecha good.

And then on Monday, I moved to my new house. I'm gona miss my old house lor! But I get my own room in a new house, so... I guess it compensates. A little. I took lots of pictures of my old house! Which is a must of course, since I practically stayed there for how many years? Ever since I could remember, thats for sure, but thats another story. :P
