Alright, I guess this is the time to write about this.


The recent passing of Yasmin Ahmad.


What do I think of her?


Well,


"She's a radiation of joy and positive energy."


While I don't always like her movies...I think she meant well. It's just that I can't really relate to her stories, and I know a lot of people can't too. So now, maybe, maybe I'll try to watch her movies again to see if my perspective has changed since she passed away. It's crazy, does it take someone to die in order for us to understand that someone? I've never ever known who she was, up until she died, and tv shows about her just popped out outta nowhere. Baru sekarang nak tribute la, ape la. Astro siap bukak satu channel khas untuk dia! WTF!


I'm not pissed, of course. I'm just annoyed about this fact...and I'm doing it too. I just realized that life is too fragile! She was having a meeting when she collapsed, and the next day she's gone! Argh!


Sorry this post has turned into a rant...sorry. All I wanna say is that, Yasmin Ahmad is a brilliant person and a very good daughter. She makes movies just to entertain her parents. I know I could never be her in respect to making my parents happy. I feel guilty that I burden my parents so much. I don't know why, but somebody inside of me just had to rebel. Degil, taknak ikut cakap mak bapak.


Um...so...yeah...it's raining now...huhu

I went window shopping today @ Midvalley. FYI Tuesday is my free day so it could also be called my retail therapy day :D


Went to the posh part of Midvalley = The Gardens Mall. Of course I didn't check out the super expensive branded shops...too scared and embarrassed la...I know who I am...hahah. I just went to Borders...finally! I don't have much money so I didn't buy any books, just Glamour magazine. Oh Sushi Zanmai and Art Friend is right next to Borders! Ahaha those 2 places are in my check out list. I went into Art Friend, but I didn't go to Sushi Zanmai coz I ate KFC already. I had the new one, Cheezy Chickaroni and it sucked! I'm so pissed that I didn't just order Spicy Chicken snack plate like I always did.


Anyways, today was quite fun just because I'm out of the room and walking around looking at nice things. Though I'm so exhausted, and transportations didn't go my way. But I know now what time I should wait for the bus and trains. Learned my lesson!


Items bought:
1. Elianto Eyeshadow Brush (thank god i didn't get influenced to buy other thangs)
2. SilkyGirl Lipliner
3. An earring from Sinma
4. Glamour magazine
5. Embroidery Hoop from Art Friend


Oh and Art Friend shop has so many things art related! I'm excited but I haven't really got into arts yet. I'll have to start studying arts now, ha ha! It has many types of paints, pencils, graphite, canvas, paper, felt, and even embroidery threads! Oh and I saw some pieces made out of...ugh whats it called?...uhhh kinda like porcelain...they are already shaped and carved, they have mugs, some unicorn, frames, plate, and lots more. There's a reason why I'm attracted to them. They reminded me of my childhood! Yes I remembered there was this kids art shop in my hometown, and they have A LOT of that stuff. And I loved them and asked my mom can I paint it? And it sorta became my hobby for a brief period of time. I painted them at the shop and added glitters and stuff. And I once asked my mom can I sprinkle the glitter on me and fly?? Haha that's from Peter Pan btw...Ah memories...too bad the shop closed soon after and I was sad that I can't paint the porcelains anymore. So that's my story. I'm excited that I finally found an art shop. These kinda shops are so hard to come by, you know. And now that I have my embroidery hoop, lets hope that I can start my cross stitch project with no problem sooooon! I just HAD to choose a BIG project as my first ever...huhhh.



edit: It's ceramics, not porcelain.. :P

Last weekend I went to Reject Shop at IOI Mall. Now they are having a massive sale! And to my surprise, they have much more clothes there compared to when I last went there. I saw a spongebob pants and I just snatched it in a second! It was toooo cute! It's like some kids sleeping pants but oversized! Hahaha I cracked up everytime I see it. Saturday night, I wore it and I can't stop giggling. Thats the power that spongeboop has over me!


I also found this corduroy jacket. And I've always wanted a jacket, so I'm excited that it had my size. So I bought it and the price tag said RM 30+. But when we paid, it stated RM 7!!! Whoaaa we asked the cashier if it's true...and she said yeah, coz it's on clearance or something...hahaha I was so happy! When else will I find something my size as cheap as this?!!! I'm thrilled...


So I'm loving my 2 new items right now! I just wish this country wasn't this hot...I cannot wear this without sweating like hell, unless it was windy or at night...haha.

Got a little dream out of my little nap from 6pm till 8pm! It involves TORI and NEIL!! Wow thats a stretch, coz I didn't even think about them lately! Whoa I'm so excited. I can't get over how amazingly beautiful Tori looked. And Neil is tall and handsome :D


So, turns out that I'm back in school and class is over. I called my mom to pick me up but she said she's busy. She asked me to find someone else who is free at the time. And guess what? I called Tori, wtf, I have her number?! And she's glad she could pick me up at my school.


She came with a big mpv like car. I saw her and I'm completely stunned. She's gorgeous! Like a goddess. And I saw her posses...but for some reason they are not Isabel, Pip, Clyde, etc. No, but they are her lookalikes and were edgier and prettier than Tori's real life posses. Amazing. And Neil Gaiman was in the back seat by himself. I sat next to him and was starstruck. He's tall. And for some reason I felt very comfortable next to him. Almost feel like hugging him. I don't know what we talked about, but I don't feel awkward, almost felt like meeting an uncle. Tori also felt like an aunt, a very strong independent type aunt. She's driving, so I don't interact much with her. Which is a shame. But I was satisfied just seeing her in all her glory and beauty...ahhh..


I don't remember the rest of the dream...though the last thing I remember is of myself worrying if my parents did come to pick me up but I wasn't there. That's all...that journey in Tori's car was the best thing evar happened in my dreams!!!

Since the day I watched the movie Choke, I can't seem to get it off my mind. Not the movie itself, but the music. The movie was just bleh...interesting story, but too much nudity haha :) I love the actor though. For some reason, I find him to be hot even though he's kinda old. He's Sam Rockwell, I dunno if any of you know him, but I remember him from Charlie's Angel, played the bad guy who tricked Drew Barrimore. Enough about the movie, it's all about the music! The ending track was BEAUTIFUL. Hauntingly beautiful. It's Reckoner by Radiohead. In my opinion it was the perfect ending song for the movie. The way the ending scene was crafted with this song is just amazing. I'm in love with this song now. I can't get it off my head, actually. It will be played on and on until I play something else on my playlist. I effin love this song!!!! No I won't post this song here coz who cares...haha go search for it yourself if you wanna go check it out. Just don't go and check out this movie though coz it's evil. It will pollute your mind with sex and nudity and dirtyness that you just can't wipe off of your mind. Your mind will be doomed forever!



But I do wanna go and check out the book written by Chuck Palahniuk. It's called Choke as well. If you guys don't know him, he's the writer famous for writing Fight Club. Yeah that's another disturbing movie you don't wanna know. So... people got the idea on how he writes his stuffs. He has got the skill to pollute your mind while you just sat there unable to stop turning the pages. Personally I haven't read his books. But I've seen Fight Club the movie. And Choke the movie. And I think, with all book adaptations, the movie is not going to be as perfect as the book. Because...it's a book adaptation. Therefore, it is based on the book, and many scriptwriters skipped some of the vital stuff in the book to accommodate the budget and time. Soooo...I really wanna get the full take on what the story is all about. I wanna go buy the book as soon as I have the money, time and energy to go to MPH or Borders Midvalley again. I love going to Midvalley, coz it's easy to get there via Komuter from UKM. It's less of a hassle than to beg my mom to go to the bookstore. Besides, Puchong sucks. There's only Popular Bookstore in IOI Mall. BOOOOOOOOOO! Popular sucks. Just depend on popularity only. Get it? Haha. You know what's my ultimate goal, in the books department? I wanna go to Kinokuniya KLCC! But I dunno when that's gonna happen. I think I can go and change to LRT at KL Sentral but I'm scared I'll get lost. BOOHOOOO. Oh well.


Forgive my stream-of-consciousness writing style today. It's just that I wanna get writing and not think too much. If I think too much, I'll never write anything in this blog again. My life is very boring this time. So I don't have anything exciting to tell you guys. And that's really a bummer, coz I enjoy writing here in my blog. But how can I do that if I have no news to tell? This is exactly why I have no mood to go to class. I feel so lifeless. The only thing that's keeping me alive these days is the internet. I love spending time on the internet. Even though I can't pinpoint what exactly that I did, if anyone ever asks me :D


That's all from me today, stay safe!

Update!

Back to driving school! Have to start from the beginning. Retake the beginner class. Scolded by the auntie who works there, she said it's such a loss that I re-register late coz my L licence expired liao. Huhu. So back to square one.


And because the teacher showed us so many clips of car accidents videos, I became amused by it. Kinda sick...but I don't ENJOY watching car crash. But just amazed and intrigue by such incidents. Mostly they invoke fear so that I will be careful when I'm driving. It's sad that most of these accidents happen because of people who drive recklessly and didn't follow the rules. And the sickest part is that these accidents involved innocent people who didn't see it coming. It's okay if you wanna kill yourself, but in this case, you are dragging other people down with you. What have they done that made you wanna kill them too?


I'm so angry.


Geram gerammm!


This shows that we can never be too careful. Sometimes a car or a truck can come out of nowhere and hit you while you are walking on a pavement. So....



Live every day like it is your last...I guess. That's the only thing to do!

Yeayeaa aku dah antar disertasi kat ofis faculty! Setelah menunggu seminggu untuk jilid siap! Bengong punya kedai jilid...org lain dapat 3 hari siap. Dia lambat nak mati...cemas aku dibuatnya. Dan menyusahkan kedua orang tua ku yang disayangi. Aku dah naik UKM pun tak siap lagi. Akibatnya mak bapak aku terpaksa gi hantar 2 buah buku hijau tu ke UKM malam tadi. Dah la dorang dua dua rabun...lagi terpaksa antar disertasi malam2 buta.



Akhirnya perasaan merdeka datang juga! Yeah! Jangan la perkara malang yang lain melanda...sekarang saya mau enjoy seenjoy enjoynya!!!!
