hey hey blinky bill, our cheeky mate from green patch hill

I've brought it upon myself to attempt blogging everyday. Mostly because I have no idea what else to do this hols and I refuse to leave myself to the mercy of the idiot box.

Hey hey! You know what? I think tonight is the first weeknight in a long time that Mark didn't call me. You'd think that I ought to be all sad and moody, eh eh eh?? Hehe. But I'm not. I'm so weird. He just called. Hahaha. I :heart: him so much.

Hey hey! I saw Rafie on TV just now for the Blast Off finalists thing. Don't tell him this (Oh geez, don't anyone Google 'Rafie' or 'Blast Off') but the way he performs reminds me of how Brandon Urie from Panic! At the Disco performs. Not totally horrid but so awkward that it looks like he's trying too hard. You know the act, raising a hand out to the cameras, craddling that mike, trying to convey emotions through the eyes, all of it. Even my friend agreed with me that Brandon Urie isn't much of a performer. Oh, and neither is Cassie (Me & U, Long way to go) apparently. Some VJay on Channel [V] said that her audience were less than impressed by her lip syncing and entertaining skills. Bwahahaha.

Hey hey! I went to the driving range earlier this afternoon and practically played my hands raw! I would've started bleeding if I hadn't stopped. That hurt. I wonder if that's saying something about my grip... does anyone who reads my blog play golf? What does it mean if I manage to play my hands completely raw to the point of near mutilation? Oh yeah, I should mention that I lost my glove so lately, I've been playing without it.

Hey hey! I bought myself a swanky white golf glove after the driving range. I'm so pimping. ;)

how a molehill becomes a mountain

Internet is being a bitch again so my post on my new sexy friend will have to wait.

It's funny how when I first enrolled into Curtin, people were saying that once I went into first year of engineering and out of foundation engineering that things will get easier. I do wonder if it is because going through foundation engineering actually prepared us for worse things to come and when we eventually get there, things aren't as bad as we have prepped ourselves up to be.

Or is it because once we get there, things really are better. Because it does seem to me that in degree, we are given more chances to pass with all the quizzes that we have to take every single week, the many assignments, which in turn help boost our internal marks making it easier to pass our final exams?

Or is it really because that once we get to our first year, we are actually taking two steps back again?

I'm just mulling over this because my mom asked the other day, when Wani was around, whether we thought first year degree was harder or easier than our foundation year. We both agreed that degree was easier. Hmm. Cross our fingers and let's hope that we're not being too overconfident, eh?

Anyways, examination results come out on the 14th of December. Pray for me, people? I've already failed one too many times. Goodluck to everyone else too.

Hahaha.. I just remembered that the school is threatening to withhold my examination results until I pay them RM100. I wonder if I should just pay them the money or maybe stir up some dust storms regarding the whole issue involved.

What's the whole deal actually? I paid my school fees late. Why? Because the deadline of payment was on the same day that my foundation examination results came out. Our results only go up online at 5pm on that day. Also the same time which the office closes.

I did not want to pay my school fees early only to find out that I failed and then I would have to fill out more forms, and then wait weeks/months just for them to "process" everything so that they can give me back my money.

But instead, they choose to fine me for late payment. Which doesn't make sense, does it? What is so wrong with wanting to wait for confirmation that I am in the degree program before having to fork over MY MONEY.

It's just like paying my kidnappers the money for my family members, which I can't confirm whether they were still alive or not. Which even the kidnappers aren't able to tell me if they were still breathing oxygen!

That's what those people with their stupid "policies" are. Kidnappers! Or maybe just baddies. Actually, just the henchmen working for an elusive and greedy boss.

The conclusion is that it was a very stupid policy to have. The logic in it is non-existant!

And that's why my family and I have refused to pay them the money. Not because we don't have it. It's RM100, of course we have it. But it's a matter of standards. And of stupidity on their part.

Ever want to meet a bunch of idiots who somehow were trusted to run a university? Just call me up, and I'll show you. Don't worry too much though. They are all placed within strong glass enclosures. And so far, no serious injuries nor deaths from coming in contact with these beings have been reported.

impromptu movie marathon

The other day, Mimin and Wani came over for an impromptu slumber party slash movie marathon. I can't remember which day it was though... oh yeah, it was Thursday night. Our marathon lasted for only 3 movies before everyone started dozing off. Hahaha. What did we watch? Brokeback Mountain (none of us had watched it before and were curious), Red Eye, and Night Watch (some Russian flick).

Brokeback Mountain: The Gay Cowboy Movie
Sadly sadly sadly, I wish it did, honestly! But it didn't manage to break out of that whole being deemed the Gay Cowboy Movie thing. After watching it, it was still.. the Gay Cowboy Movie. I know I'm mean. Get over it. Besides, they were both cheating on their wives! Living lies! Sneaking away each weekend just to be with one another?? I know they both really loved one another.. and it was really a movie about love. But it still doesn't change the fact that they both lied to their families. But I admit I found the movie disturbing. The many love scenes that was in it.. yeah. I just was not used to all that. I only expected one kiss but got much more than that. I kept hiding behind the little cushion I was holding everytime those scenes came on.. almost like I was watching a horror movie. Ahahaha.

Red Eye: Oooohh.... Rachel McAdams!
Yeah, Rachel McAdams was in this movie. It was an OK movie. Not bad, but nothing to shout about either. Rachel plays Lisa who works in a hotel and is threatened on her flight back to Miami to move some politician into another room from the usual room where he would usually stay in the hotel that she works in so that terrorists can kill him. Lisa is then confronted with the choice of whether she should do her duty and protect the politician and risk her father being killed or vice versa.

Night Watch: The Russian Flick
Suprised me with the visual effects. Stunning. Wished I was able to keep my eyes open long enough to figure out what was going on in the movie though. All I remember were light and dark knights who were at war with one another, witches, killing babies, love potions, vampires, hunters, something about The Other.. and that was it. I fell asleep. Couldn't help it as much as I really wanted to stay up and figure out the story. Also, I heard that the subtitles went off halfway into the movie and only came back on when it was close to the ending. Plus, I think a lot of stuff might've been lost in translation. So, does anyone else know what it was really about? Please tell me.

Then everyone eventually retired to bed at about 4am. I got up earliest. Call me nuts or whatever, but I just wasn't able to stay in bed. Everyone else got up at least an hour later. Bwahaha. I've been watching movies a lot lately. I could probably write at least three movie reviews a day, actually. But you know how people won't be bothered to read things like that. :P

say it right

Nelly Furtado - Say It Right
Artist: Nelly Furtado
Title: Say It Right
Album: Loose
Year: 2006





Eeee.. I really like this new track that Nelly Furtado just released. Sounds very trace. Beautiful. And she looks really gorgeous with that new hairstyle she was sporting in her video. So chic!

In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand
Or you fall
When your will
Is broken
When it slips
From your hand
When there's no
Time for joking
There's a hole
In my plan

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can't say
That I'm not
Lost
And at fault
I can't say
That I don't
Love the light
And the dark
I can't say
That I don't
Know that I
Am alive
And I love
What I feel (feel)
I could show (show you)
You tonite, you tonite

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

From my hands
I could give you
Something
That I made
From my mouth
I could sing you
Another bridge
That I made
From my body (my body)
I could show you (I could show you)
A place (a place)
God knows (that only God knows)
You should know
Space is holy
Do you really
Wanna go?

(you don’t mean nothing at all, to me)
(you don’t mean nothing at all, to me)

This is the music video that I mentioned that Nelly looked gorgeous in. Doesn't she though? The video just oozes chic. And I have to say that I've always been jealous of her high cheekbones. Hmph.


And this is when she performed at the American Music Awards which was only yesterday. She was sporting the new hair and working that wind machine. It was a great performance. Loved it. Couldn't help laughing at the dude who did the background sounds though. Hehe.

we went to shiki

We did say that we were gonna treat ourselves to some Japanese food after our exam, didn't we? :P So, we kidnapped Halim to come makan with us. And brought my cousin, Greg, and brother, Aaron, along too.

Definitely fail as models. Hahaha. I ate till my heart's content that night. I had unaju, salmon sushi, and tuna salada. I think I spent the most that night too. But I've been planning on doing that also anyway cos I have to celebrate that my exams are finally over, right? Not only just cos my exams are over.. but also cos the whole sem is over and so begins my 3 month holiday!

*clap clap* Happiness. So, no regrets. Plus, I got home just in time to catch House on tv too!

first day of hols was yesterday

First day into the holidays and already I was bored. This must be a record. It should probably be at least a week before anyone could start complaining. Ha ha.

Hurrrmm.. so.. what should I do for this 3 month holidays?

I don't really want to work. I've been slaving my ass off for the past 9 months. So no, thank you.

What Kim should consider doing over the holidays:

1. Work out/exercise
2. Read books (means must buy books, but no $$!)
3. Watch TV? (Actually, no thanks.)
4. Buy X'mas presents (means I also need $$. hmm.)
5. Take up a new sport?
6. Practice violin!
7. Practice piano. Muahaha.
8. Catch on Anime. :-/ Geek, I am.
9. Read comics. Ehehe.
10. Watch movies and DVDs. (sounds like a good prospect)
11. Pick up cycling again.
12. Fix the bikes.

Just stuff that managed to come to mind just at the moment. Maybe there's more.
Oh. Yes, catch up on PS2 games should also be on the list. Hahaha.

Ah. Bored, I am.
