UIA PJ revisited.

Okay, saya tulis dalam Bahasa Melayu sebagai persediaan untuk Ujian Penempatan Bahasa Melayu di Kampus Utama di Kuantan nanti. (bapak skema)

Entri ini akan jadi lebih kurang macam karangan 'Tempat saya pergi' yang sering disiarkan di Majalah Kuntum semasa sekolah rendah dahulu.

Dua hari lepas, kami sekeluarga telah menghantar adik lelaki saya untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke Pusat Asasi Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia yang terletak di Petaling Jaya.

Setelah beberapa bulan tidak menjejakkan kaki ke sana, saya berasa agak sedih apabila mengenangkan nostalgia lama selama dua tahun berada di situ. Dan tak sangka, dua tahun itu sudah berlalu. *cepat mengalirkan air mata kelakar anda*.

Pepatah Inggeris mengatakan 'a picture speaks a thousand words', di mana dalam Bahasa Melayu, boleh ditafsirkan sebagai 'sebuah gambar menceritakan seribu perkataan perkara' ? Saya pasti kamu faham. Tak payah menceritakan perkara yang tidak penting. Jadi sekarang ini, saya ada tangkap mengambil banyak sangat gambar. Kamu tengok sendirilah.

Tengok itu. Car Park Full. Pendaftaran bermula pada 8.30 pagi. Kami sampai pada lebih kurang 8.40 pagi. Ibu bapa lebih bersemangat berbanding anak mereka lantas mengejutkan anak mereka yang sedang tidur nyenyak supaya datang awal ke sesi pendaftaran.

Beberapa buah kanopi berwarna putih disediakan bagi kemudahan ibu bapa dan para pelajar yang penat menunggu di bawah sinaran terik mentari. :P

Pakcik pengawal trafik yang gagah lagi perkasa

Jika anda membesarkan gambar ini, anda dapat melihat kasih sayang seorang ibu terhadap anaknya dengan mengikat (?) tali leher anaknya.

Selautan manusia yang bertali arus (?)

Jelas kelihatan riak gembira pada wajah masing-masing. -_____-

Mengambil angka giliran

Suasana pendaftaran dalam dewan(sorry maaf gambar kurang jelas :P)

Ibu bapa dan kaum keluarga saudara terdekat jiran tetangga

Sudah tiga bulan tinggalkan CFS baru tahu kolam depan A&R dah buat baru. Tapi takde ikan dan kura-kura pun. :(

Kerusi tu kan, yang pertama dari kanan. Itu kerusi pertama saya duduk waktu saya mula-mula pendaftaran dulu. Nostalgia, nostalgia.

Miss Guard Cik Pengawal :P meronda-ronda.

Pakcik-pakcik yang kacak-kacak belaka.

Jika diteliti gambar ini, ramai di antara mereka yang membawa sekali sinar X-Ray. Tak perlu la.Hari ketiga dan seterusnya baru ada pemeriksaan kesihatan. Adik saya tak bawa sebab saya cakap tak perlu bawa, hoho.

Adikku telah mendapat bilik yang ada compartment? Cis, sungguh tak adil!

Anda kenal tangga ini? Haha. Perasaan teruja kerana pertama kali dapat turun di tangga ini. :P

No women/girls allowed. Dekat ZC tak pernah jumpa pun papan tanda amaran ini. Untuk lelaki. >___>

Oh, macam ini rupanya keadaan tandas lelaki

Tengok itu. Compartment sebuah, katil sebijik sebuah, bukan double-decker pulak tu, almari besi. Best.

Notice board pun ada dua! Perghh

Tetapi tingkap ada satu sahaja. Kecil pula tu. :P

Ni yang paling best. Satu compartment satu kipas, satu lampu. Heaven!

Cermin besar gedabak. Bukan orang lelaki tak payah guna cermin ke? Bukan diorang tak sikat rambut ke?

Biasala, UIA.

Perpustakaan.

Jambatan menuju ke bangunan Annex

Ramai-ramai bawa beg, bantal, segalanya.

Dan pada waktu petang...

Pondok pengawal yang menjadi saksi kepada 'keprihatinan' Pakcik pengawal terhadap 'dress-code' para pelajar CFS sehinggakan ada yang mengasaskan kumpulan 'kami anti pakgad UIA'. Ini adalah kisah benar.

Kingdom Hospital Mahallah Khadijah a.k.a KC

Boleh tahanla. Kalau adik-adik nak tahu, waktu mula-mula kakak(pulak) datang ke UIA, KC ni sangat buruk tapi setelah mengalami pengubahsuaian, barulah sedap mata memandang. :P

Umar al-Khattab College dari pandangan depan.

Keesokan harinya, datang ke UIA lagi sebab nak ajak Syafiq makan dekat UIA sebab kereta banyak sangat tak boleh keluar dan makanan di UIA ni murah pada pandangan orang-orang dewasa yang sudah bekerja.

Kafe jejantas! :D

SM Building

Tangga dari ELD dan QLD menghala ke restoran jejantas/ SM Building/SMAWP/mana-mana pun boleh

UIA ni memang banyak tangga dan bukit. Tangga ini menghala ke kafe jejantas

Tempat Sarah, Solehah, Suhaila, Afzan, Zafirah siapkan report Chem Lab pada saat-saat terakhir selepas habis sahaja kelas Physics Bro Wan Syahrum di Blok E. Rindu2. :(

U-cafe. Kafe kegemaran di UIA. Lepas habis kelas, mesti pergi sekali dengan Soul(Solehah), 'Aina, Ummu, Kinah, Su'aidah (the evil triangle) makan kat sini. Kadang-kadang sambil nak habiskan tutorial Physics, makan breakfast dengan Soul, Aina, evil triangle, Suhaila, Afzan, Zafirah, Syau, Fizah, Aliaa, Alkaff, Sofi, Atiqah. Rinduuuuu.  Join dua meja (kadang-kadang tiga meja) sekali, conquer tempat depan menghadap TV, pegang remote Astro tukar channel KBS World tak bagi orang lain tukar channel lain. Heh.

Tengok, tangga lagi. Tangga dari U-cafe menuju ke Kafe bawah yang merupakan satu-satunya cafe tak pernah makan kat situ sepanjang duduk UIA ni sebab tu kafe brothers.

Port hang-out Solehah, Sarah, Syidah waktu petang-petang nak dinner. Chicken chop dia, fuhh, marvelous!

Lepas tu usha orang balik kelas dari Blok E, LOL.

Pandangan dari 'balkoni' U-cafe. Pusat Asuhan Kanak-kanak. Lecturer UIA senang je. Kalau ada anak kecik, hantar je kat sini. (semakin lama rasa Bahasa Melayuku semakin sempoi)

 

Pandangan dari U-cafe. Anda boleh lihat Kafe jejantas, Central Spine dan KC

Female toilet under construction, huhu. 'Gambar mcm ni pun nak amik?' ayah saya bertanya.

Dulu pernah sekali tengah cikgu ajar dalam kelas di Blok E, terperasan yang kad matrik hilang. Maka berlari pecutla dari Blok E ke tandas ini di bangunan kafe jejantas. -____-

AED Studios, Bangunan IRK, ZC tercinta

Mengambil gambar U-cafe dari celah pokok dan belukar. XD

Blok C yang menyimpan seribu misteri (wah, rhymes! :P)

Blok E. Dahulunya merupakan 'British Chalet' yang dikitar semula menjadi kelas. :P

Laluan berbukit dari Blok E dan Blok C menuju ke Kafe jejantas. Jalan berbukit ni la tempat diri ini berlari pecut dari Blok E ke tandas kafe jejantas untuk mencari kad matrik, sambil berbaju kurung.

Blok C

Zainab College dan Netball Court. Dulu selalu Hisbah Ummu Atiyyah (the best hisbah to date) adakan Family Day Hisbah dengan Treasure Hunt kat sini. BEST!

Budak-budak lelaki yang kacak bergaya nak tunggu turn tangkap gambar untuk matric card. :P

Maka dengan itu, tamatlah kisah ini. Ada banyak lagi gambar sebenarnya. Tapi malas nak memuat-naik gambar-gambar tersebut. Apa, ingat senang ke? Kalau internet 1000 Terabyte per second takpe gak.

Dan ini juga menunjukkan saya tidak boleh menggunakan bahasa Melayu baku pada setiap masa. Huhu, maaf bagi pencinta bahasa ini. 60 gambar pulak tu. Agak-agak boleh masuk Malaysia Books of Records tak? Haha

UIA ni memang best. Tempat kita jumpa kawan, tempat belajar, bukan sahaja hal akademik tetapi juga hal kehidupan seperti jangan mudah mengalah, jangan mudah berputus asa bila mendapat keputusan peperiksaan yang agak teruk pada semester lepas dan berusaha sehingga akhirnya mendapat Dean's List pada semester seterusnya. :P

Tempat kita belajar tentang semangat bekerjasama dan setiakawan, tempat kita bergelak ketawa, menangis, gembira. Tempat yang membimbing kita tentang perkara di dunia dan akhirat. Tempat kita dapat kawan-kawan foreigner dari negara-negara macam Papua New Guinea, Nigeria, dan sebagainya. :P

Banyak lagi keistimewaan UIA ni yang kita tak dapat jumpa di universiti lain. Rugi tau siapa yang tak dapat belajar kat UIA ni. Orang-orang tepilih sahaja. :P Ah, rezeki orang lain-lain.

ex-CFS students tahun 2008-2010, cepat bangun nyanyi lagu CFS buat kali terakhir! And cepat ingat balik zaman taaruf week yang kena paksa dengan taaruf committees hafal and nyanyi lagu ni berpuluh-puluh kali (exaggerating) tengah panas terik dekat padang tu.

Aminulrasyid Amzah Vs Police and Sarah vs Weird woman

My mum asked me to write this in my 'Facebook or whatever' instead of  to keep on expressing my dissatisfaction towards 'that thing' VERBALLY. Well, here it goes. 

My mum asked me to send my sis to her tuition place, which is located at a few kilometres from my house. So I sent her there. All went smoothly UNTIL.....

Okay, I turned/navigated the car to the left to 'U-turn'. And one impatient car suddenly speed-ed in front of me, which resulted to me almost hitting her car, of which, I DID NOT. Okay fine, I know my mistake. She too, should know that I'm just a probationary driver with the 'P' sticker at the back of the car. I did NOT hit her car! If I did, I would have heard some scratching sound and a BAM! sound upon contact with that car of HERS. Yes, HER. Not him. Only women would be emotional (cakap pasal diri sendiri).

 In a way, I do admit that it's PARTLY my mistake. The faults shouldn't be placed entirely on me. I know my mistake, and so I went off just like some inconsideratedriversyouseespeedingoffonthe highwaythoughyou'rebloodyangrywithhimbutyoudon'thaveanychoicebuttolether/himgoandcursingandmutteringinthecar,blabbing,cursingagain.


Well, what do you expect? Do you need to follow that inconsiderate driver to her house, DEMANDING a measly apology?


YES! That's what she just DID! I am 90 % sure that I didn't hit her car and then she went off chasing me like a lunatic driver, following me to my house, which made me 90% sure that I had hit her car. Initially, she was going to the opposite direction. After that almost-accident incident, I looked at the rear mirror and heaved a sigh of relief, making a mental note NOT to ever do that again! Then suddenly she sped off, FOLLOWING ME! Dahla laju pulak tu!


I didn't stop. It's my fault. Who asked me not to stop? But then maybe, I made quite a wise decision of not stopping and just straight away letting her followed me to my house. She kept on honking her car at me!
Then, I stopped in front of my house. She stopped. She went out from her car. Her face all angry. I went out, looking at her for a moment, waving my hand, saying I'm sorry and went inside the house. And she asked angrily 'Hah, nak pegi mana tu?'

Excuse me, it's my HOUSE! Do you expect me to stop at some stranger's house and went in? It's my house la, woman, even if you want a compensation for the so-called damage I've done to your not-a-BMW-nor-is-it-a-mercedes-car-but-instead-it's-just-a-measlyMYVI you can just come to my house.


I said to her 'Sorry, saya nak jumpa mak saya!'
My mum opened the door, let me in and I said 'I hit somebody's car! She's outside!' and I went inside, hiding like a coward. My mum put on her tudung and went outside. 


Then she talked to that lady.Oh wait, WEIRD WOMAN. I'm expecting the woman to demand a compensation or what. Then my mum went inside, saying 'No la, you didn't hit her car,'
I was flabbergasted. Now why the heck did she follow me back to my house, behaving like some psycho lunatic?


My mum said that she just wanted me to stop and thus 'advising me on the right and correct way to drive as I'm stilla probationary driver'. I got sick when I heard this.Who does she think she is? JPJ people? Driving instructor?

I asked my mum 'Would you or Abah went on chasing some drivers back to their houses when there's no damage done to your cars? Only weird people would do that,'


I was so FURIOUS with that WEIRD WOMAN. Still am furious. My mum calmly said 'She just wanted to talk to you nicely, bagi nasihat, all that,'
Oh really? As if she would talk to me 'nicely' .She would have 'marah-marah me instead!Like, seriously, kan?? I can read the personalities and behaviours of weird people who come chasing some inconsiderate drivers to their houses. They are not very patient! Those weird people, I mean.


And my mum said 'Next time, when the same situation occurred, stop,'

I asked back lamely 'What if that person's a guy? It will be dangerous!'

'Don't get out from the car. Just say 'Aunty, I'm really sorry,' and just let her babbled and scold you absent-mindedly on what she has to say,'
My mum is a very calm person. I am not like her. I am still growing. She's a matured lady. I am not. She is a well-behaved adult, whereas I am an immatured-childish-infantile teenager (I'm still 19!) who doesn't know how to handle such measly problems.


Okay, I'm slowly letting it go now. It really infuriates me to think that she FOLLOWED ME all the way home just to DEMAND an apology when there's NO DAMAGE DONE?! I repeat, her car is OK! No dents, no scratch, no whatever! 


Now I know who's the one who is NOT MATURED. Even adults do not behave like adults. That's a FACT. I bet she is furious for not being able to scold me right onto my face. HAHAHA.


And thinking back, I couldn't help but to correlate the situation that happened to 15-year-old Arwah Aminulrasyid Amzah, who drove his mum's car at the wee hours of the morning. Saw a road block and sped off to the opposite direction while the police chased him and later, shot him.


Now I know how he must have felt. He must have been very scared while he was inside the car, the police chasing after him. I was very scared too, with that woman chasing after me.
He did not stop. Me too. I did not stop. He wanted to escape from his problems. Me too. I wanted to escape. That shows that he is not matured (of course, he's just FIFTEEN!). I am still not matured, running away from problems (in that case, that weird woman). I should have just faced her like a matured adult. I learned my lesson. Next time, stop. Don't panic. Be extra extra careful when driving the car.


And I bet, in fact, I'm 100% sure that Arwah Aminulrasyid must have learned his lesson to NEVER ever secretly used his mum's car when the police chased after him. I'm sure that he will not do the same thing ever again if he is still alive. But too bad, the police shot him. 


I'm grateful though. That it's the WEIRD WOMAN who chased after me for some small reasons and not some police. And I am grateful that I am still alive. At least I learned some lessons and know how to behave and react the next time around (of which I don't ever want to encounter again). I feel sorry for arwah. He is still fifteen. He is not matured. He could have learned ONE valuable lesson on that fateful night (morning) if he could have just stopped, and thus not being shot to death by the police.


I should stop running away from problem. I never did, this is the first time I ever ran from a problem. Or that problem will come chasing after you (that weird woman). Instead, I should just face the problem (that weird woman), and after that woman had finished her lectures-on-how-to-become-an-excellent-responsible-matured-driver-just-like-her, I could just go home, smiling proudly for I have tackled that problem just like how an adult should do. 

I do not blame the police. I do not blame Aminulrasyid either. It's just, things happened... It has been destined.


I will still drive. That measly problem will not affect me nor will it leaves a scar on me. It will be a constant reminder to me whenever I drive. And that will make me be extra careful and calm instead of being panic-stricken girl I've always been.


After all, life is a series of lessons. You learned about the mechanism of heart beats or whatever from Biology Class, you learned Calculus from maths Class. You learned about life from well...life itself.


Thank you Allah. Thank you Mum. Err..thank you, weird woman. And sorry. 
Another lesson learned: Patience. Sabar itu separuh daripada iman. 

I'm gonna become a Drug Dealer! Cool, huh? :P

First of all, those who are reading now, please don't report this to Agensi Anti Dadah Kebangsaan or even, the Police. I don't want to go to court, jail, Pusat Serenti, etc. O___o

I HATE DRUGS. YOUTH ABHORES DRUGS! Erkk, it doesn't sound as catchy as 'BELIA BENCI DADAH'. Justeru, saya benci dadah! Fullstop!

Instead of becoming those good-for-nothings drug dealers out there, yang merosakkan bangsa, agama dan negara, I'm going to become an 'educated' drug dealer. The one with degree of specialization in drugs. The one who is licensed to sell drugs. The one who sells drugs legally, LOL.


Drug dealer? In some overseas countries, pharmacy is called drug store. So, pharmacist equals to...drug dealer! Sort of XD. So when I said I'm gonna become a drug dealer, it means that I'll become a pharmacist in the future, insya-Allah.Alhamdulillah. I'm eternally grateful.


CFS students, you can check your online offer letter of admission to Kulliyyah here. :)

www. iium.edu.my/anr  and click on the online offer letter for ex-CFS students. Key in your old matric number and I.C. number. It's easy as ABC. But maybe the internet connection lambat macam siput, so be patient la.
Don't have enough space for these printscreens,so I resized it to 'large'.Don't care, LOL.

I'm so poyo. As if people would want to stalk me or what.. T________T.

Oh,thank you government, haha. :D
One thing I'd like to know is do we have to apply for PTPTN? Then what about the JPA Penajaan Tambahan SPM 9As above? Dah isi borang semua, then what? 

EDIT: A senior said that JPA will sponsor students from these three courses (Medic, Denti, Pharm) so no need to apply for PTPTN. Well, hopefully. 

Again, Thank you Allah. If this is the path that you have destined for me to be in, then I'm sure that it is the best for me. Congrats to all. Somehow, I'm quite worried, oh, never mind that.

On top of that, my younger brother Syafiq is offered a place in CFS, IIUM in the Engineering course. Alhamdulillah. His matric number starts with 101 and mine too, starts with 101. Hehe. 


Alhamdulillah. =)

Oh, just found out that drug dealers are called 'street pharmacists'.  T_____T

I grew up watching Classics

People might call me old, but I love listening to oldies songs. I grew up watching a variety of classic movies, musicals, and I love to sing-along together with the casts. Those movies are immensely popular during the old days and still are ( I guess).

First of all, my ALL TIME favourite classic:

MARY POPPINS (1964)

I ADORE MARY POPPINS!:D

Mary, Bert, Michael and Jane. :)

Mary Poppins, played by Julie Andrews (Queen Clarisse from The Princess Diaries)

The movie has a lot of memorable quotes and the songs, musics, dances, are awesome. My favourite saying would be
'SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIUS!' Try saying it in one go! :P

 The Sound of Music (1965)

Maria is portrayed by Julie Andrews too! 

Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) is hot! singing 'Edelweiss' with his children. 

The Von Trapp children.

This one's my favourite too. As usual, this movie has a variety of AWESOME songs.

And to tell you this, the Korean Drama 'You're Beautiful' uses some ideas from this movie.
Maria is a wannabe nun. Go Mi Nam (I forgot her real lady name) is a wannabe nun.
Maria is uncertain whether this is the path she should really take. The same goes with Go Mi Nam.
Maria has a Mother Superior who always supports her. Go Mi Nam too.
Maria went out from the church. Go Mi Nam, like duh!
Maria has a beautiful voice. Go Mi Nam -Like duh duh duh!
Okay, that's all. Can't afford to list more. -____- You'll understand what am I talking about if you watched both the classic movie AND the Korean Drama. :P

 My Fair Lady (1964)

Audrey Hepburn is super 'loverly'! This movie won EIGHT Academy Awards.

It tells the story of Eliza Doolitle, a flower girl who turned into a lady by Professor Henry Higgins. Well, sort of. Julie Andrews was supposed to play the part of Eliza Doolittle but the director (?) picked Audrey Hepburn to play the part instead. Rex Harrisson wasn't really happy initially. O___O

Higgins and Doolittle.

The King and I (1956)

a 1956 movie starring Deborah Kerr as Anna Leonowens and Yul Brynner as King Mongkut.

King Mongkut and Anna Leonowens. An odd couple. :P

King Mongkut Yul Brynner is effin funny! I cracked each time I see his face and heard him saying his most favourite word in the film- ETCETERA, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. :D

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)

Stars Dick van Dyke who played Bert in Mary Poppins.

I don't remember much about the storyline. But I can recall that there is a widowed inventor who live with his children. He invented a car that could fly and off they went to a faraway land. Sounds interesting, huh? Of course, ROALD DAHL co-write the story! :D

Bedknobs and Broomsticks(1971)

David Tomlinson who played George Banks in Mary Poppins starred as Emelius Browne in this movie. 

They ventured into the world of animations-literally. It's quite similar to Mary Poppins. About the storyline, I do remember that the woman is a witch next door, Emilius Browne is a widowed father with three kids. They had an adventure, traveling on the bed.Err, well, correct me if I'm wrong.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

I'm sure you guys are familiar with this story.

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man

Gone With The Wind (1939)

It tells the story of a vain,spoiled and beautiful woman named Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) who is very popular with the guys. But the one she truly loves is Ashley (yeah, a guy) who unfortunately, loves another woman and is engaged to marry that woman. Scarlett then married Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). In the book, it is stated that Scarlett married a couple of times before getting married to Rhett Butler. The setting is in the midst of World War 1.

This movie has a rather tragic ending. No happy ending. Thanks to the selfish Scarlett who finally realised that the one she truly loves is Rhett Butler. But then, it's too late already, huh!

Margaret Mitchell refused to write a sequel. I don't know why. But Alexandra Ripley had been assigned by the Mitchell estate to write 'Scarlett', the sequel to Gone with the Wind. I've read the book when I was in secondary school and it has happy ending, like finally!

Scarlett O'Hara in front of the antebellum house in Tara.

I remember that TV3 used to broadcast these wonderful classics during school holidays in the 'Alam Ria Cuti Sekolah' segment in the 90's. Disney did, too.

That is, before DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIES like High School Musical, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana the movie, Camp Rock, etcetera, etcetera(I'm imagining Yul Brynner's face as I said this, LOL) become popular.

Ah well, I still choose Mary Poppins over the overrated teenage love story of High School Musical. 
:D

 First movie is excluded. The sequels are getting more and more overrated and annoying (to me, at least).

I like this scene! :D

Alamak, what am I doing? I'm supposed to write about classics, not to start all over on the reviews of the High School Musical trilogy!
I shall digress now.
Or maybe I should stop.
:D

But before that,my most favourite Disney modern movie.

Most probably  it's because Julie Andrews is in it.:D
END.

Disclaimer: Images are googled.

Hana Yori Dango Parody!

This is really HILARIOUS!
You'll get what I mean if you watched the original JAPANESE version of Boys Before Flowers-----> Hana Yori Dango. Yes, I prefer the Japanese version over the Korean version. =)




Domyouji becomes DomyouZ (zee)
Hanazawa Rui becomes Hanazawa Vui
Makino becomes well...Makino. :P

From the side view, those guys who played Domyouji and Rui almost looked like the real actors but as the camera gets closer, I burst into laughter upon seeing their facial expressions. Hahaha. XD

There's supposed to be a Part 2 but unfortunately, Youtube removed it due to 'terms of use violation'. GRRR!!

Spirited Away

I watched this 9 years ago. T___T. My uncle's.
And I bought the same thing yesterday for RM10.90. DVD. I bought it from the CD-Rama section in Popular Bookstore because I couldn't find any in the CD shops. (Including Speedy)
And I watched it twice already. I love the soundtrack, I love the plots, I love the characters, I love Chihiro, Kamajii, Haku, I love EVERYTHING in it (except the pig parts-agree with Julia here).

So, I'm gonna buy this pulak.

A compilation of Studio Ghibli's EIGHTEEN award winning animes! EIGHTEEN! Yes, EIGHTEEN!

This cover's ugly. I found better looking cover in Speedy. And it's in half price some more. In. Speedy. In Sungai Petani. This place is pathetic because there's only ONE SPEEDY shop available here. Anyone from Sungai Petani, don't buy this. It's already RESERVED for me, okay! :P

It's worth it, I tell you. Studio Ghibli produced the best animations ever in Japan. Even the Pixar's creators watched Studio Ghibli's movies to seek new ideas for their upcoming movies! In Kisarazu Cat's Eye, those two guys cried watching a Studio Ghibli animation.

Enough already. I'm so gonna buy this. Full stop.

Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a post with sixteen random things, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose five people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don’t forget to leave a comment (“You’re tagged!”), and to read your blog, you can’t tag a person who tagged you. Since you can’t tag me, let me know when you’ve posted your blog, so I can see your weirdness.

1. I talked to myself a lot. Almost every time, anywhere, in any situation. I'm talking to myself as I typed this right now.

2. I fell into the school drain three times, and I laughed like an idiot instead of feeling embarrassed.

3. I like to eat burger/fries/keropok lekor/crabsticks/sausages without the ketchup or the chili sauce.I like to eat ZC's Chicken Chop/Fish N Chip without the gravy. 

4. I could finish one big pack of Milo Fuze within 2 weeks. One can of  Tuna within one night.

5. I would rather walk to my friend's room situated at the end of the Mahallah than to waste spend 10 cent replying her message. I'll clarify everything with her face to face because later on, she'll keep on sending short SMS-es and thus I have to answer all those SMS-es and wasted spent 50 cents overall. Though I use post-paid.

6.Whenever I feel hungry at, let's say, 11 p.m at night, I will not hesitate to go down from my room at Level 4 to the ZC Kiosk at ground level just to buy foods.

7. I have been holding the P class driving license for almost 2 years now and yet I'm not an expert driver.

8. I dislike driving. I prefer cycling and walking. And taking public transport. Or people drive the car for me. :P

9. I will not hesitate to spend RM 50 for a paperback book rather than to spend it on a brand new Maybelline Water-proof mascara that costs RM10 less than the price of the book.

10. I'm a self-proclaimed bookaholic. I have like, more than 5 unread books and recently,I bought two new ones. -____-

11. I love walking,  A LOT! and I walked really fast, especially when I'm late for class. Some of my classmates called me 'The Lightning'.


12. I dislike running, though. I hate to be drenched in sweat and get wet.


13. I'm an extremely paranoid person. My imagination/paranoia is beyond the limit (is there any limit?). Let's say, we're taking this taxi at night to go to the bus station, I would imagine that he is a serial killer/rapist, he will bring us to some lonely roads with his friends waiting there. Of course, I made up a plan. I will choke him behind his back. Pull the handbrake. Then, my friends will use the knife to threaten him and I will drive the car to the police station. Ok, pretty paranoid, kan? Or when it's already late and my friend hasn't returned from her outing. I imagined all kinds of things that might happen. Then I got worried and called her.


14. There was a week which I called 'Wendy's week'. I went to Wendy's FIVE times in that whole week. With Jemmie, With Hazie, With my dad, With Soul, With Syidah, Soul and Eka. Haih.

15. I love old songs. I listen to Klasik Nasional sometimes.

16. I prefer to drink plain water from clear glass made of real glass, not plastic glass.And I tend to drink lots of water when I used the 'glass' glass.I couldn't fathom why. More hygienic, I guess. ( is there such thing?)

Persons been tagged: Kimura Takuya, Matsumoto Jun, Jung Yong Hwa, Alec Su.
Why I tagged them: Because they're my hotties! XD


Just kidding, anyone who reads this, you are MOST welcomed to do this tag. :)

Something to share, but not much ^^
Got this from my mum, LOL.

The Lovely Bones Book review

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.
Ratings: :) :) :)

I found this when I explored The Times Bookshop in Singapore.

It captured my interest when the synopsis at the back reads ‘My name is Salmon, like the fish, first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.’

And off I flipped the first few pages of the book. The part that made me hurried to the paying counter was when George Harvey, the main antagonist of this story said ‘Take your clothes off. I want to check that you’re still a virgin,’ I’m not a pervert but I must say this sentence gave some impact on me at that time. (Still does)

Maybe it’s because I was (am) still obsessed with the ‘Junko Furuta case’ that I went on exploring the internet about all other homicides/murders committed by people all around the world. Urghh. I’m weird, I know.

 This is Susie Salmon, played by Saoirse Ronan (Seer-Sya Ronan).

 Okay, I'm writing a book review, not a movie review. Never mind, to help you imagine better. *nodded head*

I shall not start writing long winded synopsis of this novel. You can just read it from anywhere. I’ll just write what I think about it.

 Salmon and Singh

There are more narrative descriptions than dialogues depicted in this novel.
 I don't like this part. The part where Susie entered Ruth’s body and made love with her teenage crush, Ray Singh. I mean, she only had like, less than 24 hours in Ruth’s body and the ONLY thing she did was THAT??? I totally can’t understand you, Susie Salmon! At least meet your parents and siblings for a while. Tell them you’re okay. Tell them not to worry about you and go on with their lives as you are living ‘Happily ever after’ in heaven up there. And yeah, tell them where did Harvey bury your body parts, pfttt..

 George-PitymeIhavetroubledchildhood- Harvey

There are some elements of suspense as well. The part where Jack Salmon was hit in the cornfield and also the part where Lindsey sneaked into Harvey's house and ripped a page off Harvey's sketchbook. The page? What page? Read the book by yourself, will you!

And I’m a bit mad about what happened to Harvey in the end.  It seems like worldly justice is never served. He died all alone by himself. Fine, being hit by icicles. LOL. I would prefer it if the writer puts it like, ‘George Harvey was eaten by the crocodiles when he fell from the boat at the Amazon River. His body was never found,’ Good for him, then. He should suffer the same cause of death as what he did to his victims.

But then, it would be illogical as well. So, George Harvey suffered some kind of a troubled childhood and it had some aftereffects that resulted to him killing people like DUHHH….It seems like the writer’s trying to instill sympathy towards George Harvey in us, the readers. She’s trying to convey that the blame shouldn’t be entirely put on Harvey. He couldn’t help it. He had a troubled childhood. Sorry, FAILED!

Okay, too much information revealed. But then, it’s quite interesting. You can start reading it and you can put it away anytime you wanted. Then you can start reading again. And when you reached the boring part, you can put it down again. Then you can read it halfway, and watch Arashi shows. But really, it’s a good attempt as this is Alice Sebold’s debut novel. It’s not easy to write a novel, I can assure you that. Maybe the movie would be more interesting. My blurb would be…

‘ ‘putdownable’!’

Hey, at least I rated it 3 smileys! :D

My Fair Princess

My Fair Princess/Princess Returning Pearl/Huan Zhu Ge Ge is based on a series of books by a Chinese Writer named Qiong Yao. 
The second season broke China TV's record with the highest rating ever,
achieving almost 50% viewership in all local TV stations. (wikipedia, n.d.) LOL.
Now, it is aired again on NTV7 weekdays, 2.30-3.30 p.m. A must see! 


I watched this 11 years ago and I still love it after 11 years :P
Why? Because it awakens your wonderful childhood memories. Back then, one of the things I was worried about is whether I could watch My Fair Princess everyday (not missing a single episode).The thing that I really wanted most is the complete My Fair Princess boxset which caused RM 233.90 back then. Yes, I still remember the exact price. Of course my parents couldn't tolerate such infatuations whenever I begged them to buy me that boxset. 

I remember becoming all gloomy and upset when I stepped out of the car to attend Music class. I kept on pleading and ushering them to buy me and of course they refused to do so.
When they picked me up, my mum had bought a complete series of 'What Katy Did' instead. That was the last time I ever mentioned about My Fair Princess again.

I fall in love with the characters and the colourful images that they portrayed. I love their dresses-the headgears especially, the DEELISH Wu Ar Ge (Fifth prince), the hyper Xiao Yan Zhi, the storylines and the music. Yeah!
I first watched My Fair Princess 2 Cantonese Version in  1999. Then I watched My Fair Princess 1 Mandarin Version in 2000. Then My Fair Princess 2 Mandarin Version in 2001. :D
In Cantonese version, 
Xiao Yan Zhi is Siew Yin Chi. 
Zhi Wei is Chi Mei, 
Yong Qi is Weng Kei, 
Er Kang is Yi Hong. 
Jing Soh is Jin Suo (LOL)

And in 2005, My Fair Princess 3 was aired on 8TV. I switched on the TV, eager to watch the characters that I love dearly. Imagine my surprise and disappointment 1 minute later. 
 Most of the original casts had been replaced in My Fair Princess 3! Like, seriously. No one can play the part of Xiao Yan Zhi than Vicki Zhao herself! Erk. And no one can replace Alec Su as Wu Ar Ge. :P
Oklah, brief synopsis.


My Fair Princess 1.

Xia Zhi Wei and Jin Suo traveled all the way to Beijing from Canton because Zhi Wei wanted to search for her father upon her mother's request before death. Her father is the Emperor Qian Long of China himself. They met Xiao Yan Zhi. The two of the become sworn sisters and Xiao Yan Zhi helped Zhi Wei to deliver the painting and poem to the Emperor. The three of them climbed the hill because the Emperor and his comrades were hunting deers at that time. hahaha. Zhi Wei and Jin Suo couldn't keep up with the pace so Xiao yan Zhi went up by herself. Wu Ar Ge accidentally shoot Xiao Yan Zhi with the arrow. She was almost unconscious then the emperor saw the painting and the fan (poem) and he was shocked. He commanded Xiao Yan Zhi be brought to the palace and be treated. 
So you get it, the mix up. Emperor thought that Xiao Yan Zhi is his long lost daughter. Then Zhi Wei came into the palace, romance sparked and you know what happened la. 

My Fair Princess 2.
The continuation of My Fair Princess 1. More episodes, more romance, more laughter. A really hilarious happy ending. Hahaha. Okay, Wu Ar Ge and Xiao Yan Zhi got married while Zhi Wei and Er Kang got married as well. The mixed up is so hilarious like I was ROFL!

My Fair Princess 3. THE SADDEST season I've ever watched. Zhi Wei and Er Kang had a 5 year old son ( I guess). Due to her hyperactive nature, Xiao Yan Zhi had suffered various miscarriages. Then that stupid Lau Fo Ye (Dowager Empress) commanded that Wu Ar Ge is to be married with stupid Zhi Hua, a girl of her choice. Okay, it is so sad la. The settings are in the time of war with the Myanmar people. Finally, Yong Qi gave up his Wu Ar Ge title so that he and Xiao Yan Zhi can spend their lives together OUTSIDE the palace. They had kids and lived happily ever after. SO SADDD..

The new casts.

In My Fair Princess 3, Only the actors/actresses who played Er Kang, Qing Er and Lau Fo Ye remains. aadasfafz;sfkzfhlk

Roses of Yesterday

The original casts are really well known nowadays. Vicki Zhao who played Xiao Yan Zhi starred in Shaolin Soccer with Stephen Chow  and So Close with Shu Qi and Fann Wong? I forgot already and in many other movies.

Alec Su starred with Korean actress Chae-Rim in one particular movie I forgot the title. He also played the part of Emperor in 'The Mischievous Princess' with Jang Nara.

Till then, toodles!
