Diva Tantrum Overload

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

2009-03-16T01:59:00.002-04:00

Sorry folks. I'm gonna be off for a while. Dealing with Torchwood requires my full attention.

Series 4 Finished

2009-03-12T01:42:00.002-04:00

I finally finished my Doctor Who marathon. Such rejoice to see Rose Tyler again! And Jack! And Martha! And Harriet Jones, of course!

How can I wait one more year for a full series? And even then David Tennant won't be my doctor anymore. Matt Smith, you have an awfully large shoes to fill in, mark my words! But nevertheless I am excited to see what he'll bring to the show. But alas, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant will always be my doctor.

IMO, Donna has the saddest ending ever for a companion. Even sadder than Rose I might say. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but please bring Donna back!

My favorite companions (and Children of Time) by rank: Rose, Donna, Jack, Harriet Jones, Astrid, Jackie, Martha, Sarah Jane, Adam, Mickey and the LINDAs of course!

While we're on the topic, Blink by far is the scariest episode ever! The Weeping Angels are pure demon! Brrrr *shivers*. Judge them for yourself then:

It's 2am and I'm too afraid to watch the clip so if it's bad then tomorrow morning I'll switch it to another video. That's how scared I am.

*shivers*

And So It Begins

2009-03-07T22:19:00.003-05:00

And so it does...

It's Spring break and where might I go you ask? That's a secret I'll never tell. You know you love me. XOXO Gossip Girl.

Oh pardon me. Truth is I haven't had a dose of GG for a month now. Geez. You'd think they start airing new episodes by now. This hiatus is torture!

But I digressed. As I was saying (or to be politically correct, typing would be the term), it's Spring break! Yay? Nay!

This post serves no central purpose at all. God my life is no more exciting. I blame you, increment of tuition fees!!

Business As Usual

2009-02-26T15:39:00.003-05:00

On the total opposite of yesterday, today is very productive. I managed to unfreeze my account, cash in the check from AT&T and pay the rent. Productive indeed.

Later I'm having a meet-up with the apartment owner for summer housing. I love today! For the first time in a very long time I felt like my free time weren't wasted away.

One issue still persists: Where's that 3-month-overdue package from home?

"Declined, Twice"

2009-02-25T23:17:00.003-05:00

Oh boy what a day.

Today, I was reminded of why I love biotech, thanks to my Ethics' class article. It reminded me that I love research and genetics, and that sort of enlighten my hope a bit. See, I've been doubting my choice lately mainly because I felt trapped of the fact that I "had to choose" pharmaceutics. Now I'm diminishing any thoughts of minoring in Pharmacology & Taxocology and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Thank you, Prof Hershenov for giving me the light in the form of a scholarly composition.

But it's not all happiness today. I decided to go ahead to Albright-Knox for my English extra credit assignment after postponing the trip twice. Off I went to the metro-rail station, from University to Amherst Street, taking the 32C bus to Albright-Knox before realizing that I got on the wrong way. And so I wasted an hour and 30 minutes of my life cruising through the city before the bus turns around the other way. I arrived at 3:45pm, and the gallery closes at 5:00pm. Just great..

Even worse, at the gallery reception desk, my card was void of making a ticket purchase. "I'm sorry but your card is declined, twice." Are you joking? Jesus this is the second time HSBC has frozen my account without prior notice! How absurd! I am not amused, you stupid bank! And so I had to take the walk of shame out of the gallery. What an unproductive day.

Wait, it's not all bad. At least I figured a route to Walden Galleria. Train to Amherst St, bus 32C Thruway Mall bound. Now I can go shopping without the assistance of a private vehicle owned by others, if of course that stupid bank unfreezes my account.

This is blasphemy!

What's for Fall?

2009-02-22T15:56:00.004-05:00

So, what's for Fall?

Let's see.. If I win the battle for French classes on March 18th, I'm definitely taking FR151 in Fall. Not to mention Orgo (CHE201), Analytical Chem (CHE214) and Computer basics (CSE101). But if I lose the battle, I'd have to take Physics 101 in the summer, together with Music 151, while French 101 and Physiology 300 in Fall. If it was anything like last semester, I need to grab those class seats as early as 7am!!!

Note in planner: March 18, 7am, computer-clad, ready for war.

Now, minor? Biology? Chemistry? Medicinal Chemistry? Pharmaceutical Sciences? Pharmacology and Taxocology? Forensics? French??!!

Yes, I know I'm a greedy bitch. I want all the knowledge in the world!! Muahahaha*evil laugh*hahahahaha!!!

Oh, maybe a summer transfer course for next year? I can go anywhere. Even back home.

A Dedication to the Arrogant Bastard

2009-02-22T15:20:00.005-05:00

Why do you always need to bring me down? No, not just me, its everyone else that is even a little bit unlike you. What do you think you are, the central figure of humanity? Reality check, please honey. Reality check.

In fact someone who needs to bring others down or make them feel their absolute worst is the lowest of all. So again, reality check honey, by "demoralizing" others, you YOURSELF is demoralized by a degree greater.

So I'ma be whatever I wanna be. And if your homophobic ass can't handle my shit then I'd say: Fuck yo ass!!

Yours truly.

Rise from the Dead

2009-02-15T22:19:00.005-05:00

Oh dear.

This blog needs a may-juh revival. Oh dear.

So here's an update just for the sake of it:

I've been staying in almost every week in order to prevent spending. See, the economy's finally leveling up to me. 2 more months and I'll be relieved from this entanglement. I blame myself for that. I spent too much last year on fabulous (at least I perceive them to be so) items of clothing.

Chemistry sucks. No scratch that. I suck at chemistry.

Lately I've been under a lot of peer pressure. I'm bottling a lot of jealousy right now. With a little mixture of disappointment. It's all because I expect too much. From almost every aspect there is. Intellectual, social, and economy-wise. The best thing to do is just nothing, right?

Just for the purpose of digression, I'm basing my Fall 09 wardrobe from this presentation by Lanvin <3.

You see, I'm not into Spring Summer fashion. They aren't as dramatic (more layers = more mix = more fun), and just of the fact that I'm a cold person. Literally and figuratively.

Steps of the Met

2009-02-08T03:05:00.002-05:00

Sorry Folks.

I'm dwelling in the scandalous world of the Upper East-siders from now on.

You know you love me.
x.o.x.o. Gossip Girl.

She Said What?

2009-01-30T18:43:00.003-05:00

Sing with me y'all:

~Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys
and all of the girls
Are begging to
If You Seek Amy~

~Love me hate me
But can't you see what I see
But all of the boys
and all of the girls
Are begging to
F.U.C.K me~

That's not the official video for the song btw. If You Seek Amy, bitch!

On another news, Lost is totally gripping me on its thread. It's been about 2 years since I last watch the show, but I gotta admit: WOW.

For a show that committed half of each episode's time to flashbacks and flashforwards (Oh, it's the Oceanic 6. Wait we're back on the island. Oh wait there's Jack shouting "We have to go back" to Kate again. But that hasn't happened yet cause now they are shooting polar bears in the jungle again), I guess it only makes sense that the big mystery is that the mysterious island they crashed on is a (no, John. NOT a place where miracles happen. Are the multiple deaths miraculous to you?) *spoiler* huge time-travelling machine (<---- highlight me!).

KABOOSH! Bet you didn't see that one coming did ya?

Anyway in a related story, it seems Ugly Betty and Lost has made some sort of trade-off lately. Our network did a little Gossip Girl-inspired rumor-digging and found a tape recording a conversation between the two shows.

Ugly Betty: We need a may-joh hunk to spice things up round here. Our ratings has been such a Wilhelmina lately.

Lost: Holy fuck we're getting in a bunch of hanging stories, we need a bloody character to blame the whole thing on.

Ugly Betty: Say what, let's play a little trade-off. Your dishy and Prada-perfect Captain Gault, with our he's-60-but-could-still-be-hot Bradford Meade?

Lost: Oooh I'll make him the bad guy why don't I? That son of a bitch. You've got yourself a deal there, Freckles.

In another related story (are all these cousins?), I found Nestor Carbonell (Lost's Richard Alpert, the never-aging man with eyelined eyes than can put any girls to shame) to have quite the resemblance to Joseph Fiennes. When I first saw him, I was like, "Duuude! How did Lost got Joseph Fiennes? High-profile actors like him would never play in a measly tv show like this! That's soo cool duuuuuude!". I was mistaken, as it turns out. Why don't you see them for yourself. You'll see it. You'll see the resemblance, mark my words!

Something Happened in New York City

2009-01-29T14:07:00.005-05:00

Something happened in New York City. Something hot, something cold. Something soft, something bold.

It's tough when you're on a trip of a lifetime and you only have circa a thousand dollars to spend. Trust me when I say it's not enough. Often I had to resist buying anything, thinking "Oh, I'll come back next year anyway." I didn't even spend a dime at freakin Woodbury. That's like committing incest.

What I love about New York:

The rush. That absolute rush you get from New York that's just unique to that city. The fast pace, the time ticking. I've not experienced it since I left KL. Buffalo is a slow-paced city. And the place I'm living, is an even slower-paced suburbia. I am made for speed.

The whole thing. In northern Manhattan you have this upscale uptown-upper east side-surrealistic luxury sort of environment that you get from no where else. You have Midtown, where everything's about arts, shopping, fashion, theatre, clubs, dancing and the Empire State Building. In lower Manhattan you have downtown, SoHo, TriBeca, and Wall St where it's all money-talk. It's as though the city itself was crafted by a genius who puts everything into place and co-exist with each other.

Just a bonus:

Dan, Vanessa and the little GGs stopped by where last two weeks?

Compare:

Now who says I don't eat candies of royalties?

Brooklyn Pig!

Innit Though?

2009-01-28T00:48:00.002-05:00

Why is it, that when we learn a history of a civilization, it's always the ruling party (Monarchs, Ministers, etc) that only gets mentioned? It's like learning about their family tree rather than the country in its translucence. Innit?

That is well bad.

Ethics is not Morality

2009-01-23T13:26:00.004-05:00

I love my Ethics class. Some might say Prof Hershenov looks like a clown (with that hair, I don't blame you) or his tests are ridiculously ridiculous, but I like his class so far.

The best thing about ethics is that there is no central dogmatism. There is no judgment of "good" or "bad" on the topic. Just propriety. By the word of Confucius: Li.

The entire class is an abortion of debatable views, and it's so thrilling to be in the middle of all those pouring opinions, digesting all of them at the same time.

I'm loving this semester. I'm loving Cell Biology, I'm loving World Civ II, I'm loving Writing, I'm loving Ethics. The one subject I'm having most concerns is Chemistry. Gaaahhh!!

Jihad

2009-01-22T12:23:00.003-05:00

The teachings of Jihad in Islam, IMO exists within anyone who loves his/her religion. It's a natural thing to fight for and protect something we hold dear; in this case: our beliefs. The only things is, Islam writes it down, in black and white making it sort of an official statement.

Cases to be pondered: The Spanish Reconquista and the Crusades; both can be regarded as a form of Jihad for Christianity. Think, people, think!

Hmm.. This would be a fascinating research paper topic. I called it first!

WTF?

I Finally Done It!

2009-01-21T00:04:00.002-05:00

Yay!

Enjoy the clips below!

Click here and here if you have any problems.

On another news, YouTube's being a complete bitch. When my first video was uploaded in that SOB of a site, it was muted! The audio was removed. Friggin copyright bullshit!

Portuguese! Spain! Aztecs! Incas! MALACCA!

2009-01-20T16:17:00.003-05:00

LMAO.

Boyd's class was totally awesome! No wonder he has the most rating at RateMyProfessor.com than any other World Civ professor in UB. He's the shitz!

He also mentioned Malacca in his class today which was super cool.

I finally have my schedule down. Now that I'm in Boyd's class, my wish has been commanded!

p/s: OMG That video I promised is wayy overdue. I'll try my best to post it up this weekend, at the latest! Someone put me in purgatory if I don't, so I'll learn my lessons!

Hold That Thought

2009-01-05T16:56:00.001-05:00

I'll be back to you in a mo'.

I'm trying to piece together a few videos to make a clip of my DC and NYC trip. The last time it took me the whole night to make a 5 minute video so bear with me.

:)

Terrified

2009-01-02T04:04:00.002-05:00

I am so afraid. So afraid of going forward, and afraid of exploring, and experiencing something new.

Having subscribers on my YouTube account, selling stuffs at amazon and ebay. They are all new to me. I'm not used to this type of interaction. I am usually on the receiving side, but now I'm on the giving side. Sending me chills down my spine.

I am not that good with people. I am all awkwardness down to my minute nucleic acid particles. I can't. I can't grow up. Go away adulthood. Go away!

I'm a baby. As much as I say I'm independent, I'm not. I always have to rely on someone for even the lousiest most tiny little thing. Just ask my dad. Boy, does he have patience or what.

So what, if I can navigate Manhattan? What, if I can walk alone at night? What, If I can live by myself? Those don't mean a thing. If I have learnt one thing in life, is that conservativeness ruins people like me. And my precious childhood can never ever be re-lived.

The only reason I want to study abroad so bad was so that I can breakaway. Breakaway from all the strings that my environment back at home, and the people surrounding me had spiderwebbed me in. I don't want to be trapped in limited thinking. I don't want to blame everything on fate. Most of all, I don't want to be around those who doesn't understand me.

Back at home, everyone feels like, certain people should act certain ways. Males should be aggressive and whatshits. Females should be in seclusion and whatshits. Very unliberalistic, very unlike me. I believe in gender bending. I believe in mixing people, not dividing them by gender and skin color. I believe in pluralistic liberalism.

I believe that normality is ambiguous. You can question what is normal for a society and for an individual. They can be similar. Almost always they are not. From my home people's pov, I'm not a normal person. They would want to change me. Change me into one of them. But from my own pov, I am perfectly fine as I am. I am contented with who I am. That should be all that matters. But no, they would want to change my very nature to mold me into one of them. I'm sorry, but I'm breaking away from all that shit.

The more I think, the more complex it gets. It all comes down to religion. People back at home (not just my family) would say "Iman dah tergoyah", but really who can confirm that? Who can really say that such a thing is real, and such a thing is happening? Who is to say that God is real, and who is to say that God doesn't exist? But then again, how does God came into existence? Surely God cannot create himself, for to do that God would have to already be in existence. And doesn't anyone ever question why we are prohibited from thinking and searching the answers behind it? Isn't it just a propaganda that supposedly protect believers from finding the absolute truth?

Why are the rules in Islam so ambiguous? Why is the Quran said to be the most perfect source and guide for life, when it is in essence does not cover each and every detail of life? If Quran is perfect, then why would we need al-Hadith and as-Sunnah? Shouldn't everything be in the Quran itself?

Why do our ancestors make our lives so complicated. They invented trade, they invented money, they invented economy, they invented leaders, they invented politics, they invented morals, they invented society, they invented every fucking little things. Hunter-gatherers are the most peaceful Homo sapiens ever.

I am a creationists, yet I am also a biologists. Every facts nods in the direction of evolution evidences. I do believe in Darwin's theory.

I don't know how this post became so long. It is so random.

Hopelessly in Love.

A wise person once told me, "You'll never experience love until you've been hurt." The problem is, I'm too afraid.

I'm just gonna push this aside. I'm gonna have more time to think about it in my afteradolescence.

O' Courage, come to me.

Push. Aside. Remember.

Oh what's the use. Why deny the inevitable?

But how did he do it?

I'm sorry, but after one night with Twilight, I've been coming back to this song. I'm listening to it over and over again. And even though I know I will eventually get tired of it, I will still exclaim that I won't ever get tired of this shit!

But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
I will figure this one out
On my own

I'm dying to read the book. And New Moon. And Eclipse. And Breaking Dawn.

OK I have to get over this obsession. Sheesh.

Twilight, Finally

I think I finally figured out what my New Year's resolution gonna be.

I know it's not yet January 1st, but at this very moment, I vouch to myself that some time next year, I shall undergo a plastic surgery.

Nosejob, I need you. I'm sorry, but my nose has been flattened for oh-so many years. I couldn't remember the incident, but If I recall what my mom told me, it went something like this:

Once upon a time, there was a naughty and mischievous young boy. One day, he climbed up a gate and knocked his nose silly. The End.

Immediate result: An eternal imperfection in the form of a scar, across my nose.

My profile is so flat, almost as if I was punched a hundred times. Over and over.

That was also how I got my triangular shaped nostrils. Don't laugh. My self-esteem hurts.

And you can trust me when I say that it's a shape not made for breathing. Holy bajeesus. Breathing always seems much easier if I poke a finger and expand the holes.

Erase that mind image now!

Hidden Treasures

2008-12-16T10:54:00.004-05:00

Total boredom has hit yet again, killing a massive amount of people in its path. It's like holocaust up in here.

Out of pure curiosity and nothing-to-do-ness I snooped around my roommate's drawers. Sorry Yixin!

Lookie what I found! Hold your breath. This is a good one.

It's funny how that is one of the few Made-in-Malaysia stuffs lying in my room, but it's not even mine! Is this a sign, Dear Lord?

If anyone ever asks me where I would like to live during my adult life, I would respond with:

1)

2)

Identification, please?

*Update*

Oh come on, hasn't anyone figured these out already?

1) Picture of the Red Light District of A********.

2) Picture of CBD of S*****. There are other significant landmarks but they were too easy for a guessing game.

Whining is NeverEnding

2008-12-14T19:00:00.004-05:00

Bio practical was horrid.

I think I did adequately on the theoretical questions. But the practical part of the test was nightmarish! I could not remember any anatomical fabrication on/in sand dollars, sea urchins and other gazillion creatures from dissection land. My apologies to the hapless animals/fungi whose cadaverous sacrifice had become a disdained lament.

Enough.

A student's only relief is when an assignment or exam is finally over. You'll no longer hear me whining about school for a month. Win for both sides, don't you think?

Evolutionary Biology, in grave shalt thou reside!

Dear Twilight Fans, my thousand apologies for not watching Twilight yet. Don't blame me. Blame the theater across the street.

For what it's worth, I love its credit song. Enjoy; Decode by Paramore.

A Quote of Naturale

2008-12-13T20:43:00.000-05:00

"There's one indulgence every man should try in his lifetime: If you're straight, sleep with a man at least once, and if you're gay, don't go through life without sleeping with a woman. Either way, you might be surprised at how natural it will feel if you can get past the mind-fuck stereotypes. In the end, it's just another person that you are relating to in a physical way."

-Tom Ford-

Now where's my disease-free prostitute?

Procrastinatory At Its Finest

2008-12-13T00:57:00.002-05:00

I should totally be reading Dr Wood's chemistry notes right now, but I.don't.want.to.

I probably have about 9 out of 11 chapters down. But I'm pretty clueless when it comes to molecular geometry and whatshit. Not to mention drawing the accurate Lewis structures, which I somehow still fail to do.

But I know I'll pull it through in the end. I always do. That's why I'm not bovvered.

Not yet, anyway.

Paradox

2008-12-09T12:11:00.005-05:00

This sentence is false. Is it true or is it false?

The Grandfather Paradox. Supposed a person goes back in time and kill his grandfather before he met her wife (the grandmother). The grandfather would not have been dead, since the grandson is still alive, he would be concieved. But then if the grandson is alive, the grandfather is dead because of the murder. Think.

Although, in respect to the Grandfather Paradox, I believe (if time-travel is made possible) that when the grandson succeeds in killing his grandfather, he would disappear instantly. That's just my theory. LMAO.

Some people believe in alternate realities, which would have meant that the grandfather was killed in one reality, but not in another. Which would have given the possibility that the grandson would be concieved, if and only if the alternate reality is the one that actually takes place.

Paradox is one of the most complicated events. In reference to the Grandfather Paradox, the final outcome is really hard to predict, and we can only agree to one if we witness the paradox unfold before our very eyes.

Thinking about it can be frustrating to some, but I find it rather endearing to think of all the possibilities. Looking at it is fun too.

picture from filipspagnoli.files.wordpress.com

picture from algana.co.uk

For the first question, I think it is safe to say that the sentence is neither true nor false.

p/s: I'm aware that the pictures are oversized. It's kinda funny that they are bigger than the column to which they are bound to. Think of it as another example of paradox. :)

Cheat Sheet

2008-12-09T09:56:00.003-05:00

This is histerical. The World Civ exam yesterday was histerical. The first 15 minutes was havoc! Everyone was talking and swapping answers. The TAs were just standing there, going like, "WTF?". Some (meaning: ME) even glanced at the essay question and flip through their notes for a last minute review. It was somehow reminiscent to my days in Langkawi. It was freakin histerical.

Now here's a question: Why did I not know of the "cheat sheet"? There I was swapping my mcq answers around when I saw a piece of paper containing all information of World Civ on everyone's hands. None was on mine. Why was I oblivious of the fact that I can bring a sheet of paper with notes on it to the exam? Not that I needed it (Chinese Civilization? Confucius, Daoism, Qin, Han, Grand Canal, Loess. Done) but it sure would've felt better had I known that I can "cheat" the test.

I'll be damn sure to compress World Civ II on a paper next semester, you mark my words!

Monday Madness

2008-12-07T21:56:00.006-05:00

Brrrr.. It's Monday Dec 8th tomorrow.. And if that isn't bad enough, I'm having three exams! Three!

Look at the amount of ilmu I have to converge myself into:

5 Books of Doom! At least I got Statistics down. I think. I'm worried about Bio and World Civ.

Speaking of Bio, look at what I encountered whilst reading Dr Fourtner's lecture slides:

"Sexier sons"? Way to put it into words!

Can that definition of virus be any more vague?

My Sister's Keeper, anyone?

And dig this: Repulsive latex on the underside of a poor library desk.

I will certainly miss Evolutionary Biology!

Liz Lemon's Fashion Mishap

2008-12-06T01:19:00.004-05:00

OK Can somebody shed a light on this and tell me why Liz Lemon is wearing a I'm Not A Plastic Bag?

That piece of torture was soo 3 seasons ago.

Speaking of torturous contrivance, I am so glad the days of "It" bags are over. Get personal, fellow victims!

What I Think (Subject To Periodic Updates)

2008-12-04T12:30:00.004-05:00

I think

- American "Pluralism" is bullshit as long as conservative republicans still exist.

- Elyse Sewell's blog is worthy of an English literature masterpiece.

- ABC is making a huge mistake by canceling Pushing Daisies. My approval rating for the station has dropped significantly.

- I'm gonna miss Dr Fourtner's class. Surprisingly so.

- I'm not gonna miss waking up at 6am. Thanks to my timely planned schedule.

But I always manage to pull through at the end. I always do. I'm just uber tired that's all.

Friday Madness

2008-11-28T18:22:00.004-05:00

Pheww.. Finally I had some time to sleep. Last night was TMTH crazy!

OK So there I was sitting peacefully on a very smelly couch, watching Grey's Anatomy.

When suddenly the phone rang. Kring Krinngggggg.

Syafiq, we'll come and pick you up in an hour. It was 10.30pm. Shoot!

One hour of adrenaline rush later, I was on the back seat of the car, trying hard not to doze off. And after 3 massive traffic jams (hella Canadians) we arrived at our destinacion.

Lo and Behold!

OK, So it's no Woodbury. At least I still get to do some shopping.

I don't know where to start. Shall I begin by telling you the distance we had to walk from our car? Or shall I begin by telling you that there was a massive line pouring into Coach, Guess, Juicy Couture among others? Or will it be a drastic telling point if I first tell you that my heart was shattered when I saw Burberry wasn't opened? Or will you get a knick out of laughing if I tell you that I didn't get to take pictures because there was an influx of humans, creating a chaotic rush that I too, was entangled upon?

I had told you pretty much everything that happened there.

At 5am, I retired to the back seat of the car yet again for a second trip. This time, it's Walden Galleria.

There wasn't that many people, and there wasn't much bargain either. But you have to check out its Forever 21. It's hella huge. Imagine Pavilion's Forever 21. Go ahead, picture it. With all the little rooms for accessories and whatnots. And that tiny little corner dedicated for men's clothing.

Great. Now double the size. And I mean literally. It was 2-storey high. And each level was the size equivalent to the one at Pavilion. Hella mad!

At the end of the day, I managed to snag a few goodies. But I'm saving money for later.

Woodbury calls, darling.

Happy Black Friday!

How Sad Will I Be

2008-11-26T16:55:00.004-05:00

Go ahead and read this atrocity:

Sources: Daisy, Stone and Dirty Sexy Canceled

By Kristin Dos Santos Thu Nov 20, 4:47 PM PST

ABC has canceled Pushing Daisies, executive producer Bryan Fuller confirms to me exclusively.

According to reports, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money have also been canceled, but reps for both shows have declined to comment.

Is the pie-maker dead? Will we ever see him again? Read on for the exclusive inside dish straight from the top...

Bryan Fuller tells me, "[ABC president] Steve McPherson called me, and said 'We gave it the best shot we could.' "

According to Fuller, the facts are these: "It's very likely that Pushing Daisies will end after episode 13, which as you know, is a cliffhanger. But we are talking to DC Comics about doing comic books that will wrap up our storylines, and I already have a pitch for a movie ready to go.

"To be honest, I'm really not feeling very boo-hoo about it. I am so proud of the show. We put together 22 really good episodes, and there is a lot to be proud of. I'm sure I'll be working with a lot of these people again, and I would love to do so."

Is this a good decision by ABC, or did that network just rip your heart out? Post in the comments...

Does all ABC care about is ratings? For God's sake tonight will be the first time Pushing Daisies is gonna air w/o its timeslot rival ANTM. Can't you at least observe tonight first?

I am absolutely disgusted. Appalled. Repulsed!

It's Just...

2008-11-26T03:27:00.002-05:00

Don't get me wrong. I love UB. I love UB sooo much.

But it's just sometimes, I can't help but wonder what I would be like if I enroll to RIT or PennState instead.

What kind of people will I meet? Will the classes be easier? Will there be more things to look forward to when I wake up in the morning?

Or, what would it be like had I chosen Fashion Design over Biotechnology?

One can never be contented with oneself, huh?

What? Everyone's Doing It!

2008-11-25T20:17:00.002-05:00

Well, since everyone's doing it, I thought it wouldn't hurt if I join in the fun.

:)

So here's my Urban Outfitters Wishlist. I thought it would be a great idea to share it if *someone* wants to buy me a Christmas gift and doesn't know where to start.

Let me dream, can't you?

You are probably wondering why there are too many plaids on my list. Well, it is the hottest pattern this season. And also I wanted to add a little bit of color to my otherwise black-and-white wardrobe.

Speaking of colors, isn't this such a cute little parka?

Picture from welcomehuntersla.com

It's discounted at $330. You can buy it here.

I'm in a kinda tight ka-ching situation right now. So any do-gooders out there who wants to make a sad boy his day, you have a pretty good idea where to run off now, don't you?

KTHXBYE.

I Finally Figured It Out

2008-11-23T21:12:00.002-05:00

I Finally did.

The reason why we view movies adapted from books are mud in comparison to its original composition: Our imagination is so extravagant that it's TMTH.

Honestly, no matter how much we tried, reality can never challenge the power of our mind. What we view in our heads, most of the time can never be presented outside of it.

So just chillax. So what if Twilight and Harry Potter aren't as good on the silver screen as they were when we readmagining? Just enjoy, shall we?

Unlimited Capacity

2008-11-22T23:14:00.003-05:00

My email inbox is full of emails since 2003/4.

Ever since Yahoo! came up with the unlimited email storage I'm just too bothered to delete read and unread messages. The last time I had You have 0 Unread Messages was back in the Cambrian period.

The result might you ask:

I kid you not.

This is only the Unread Messages

Now which email-deletion sloth wants to challenge my undefeatable figure?

Market Domination

2008-11-13T14:20:00.002-05:00

I thought I'll do a fun post which everyone is familiar with.

Before that, just a random thought. Would you say the followings are signs of market domination?

cberry-tionary

Pampers = diapers
Colgate = ubat gigi
Listerine = mouthwash
Dynamo = detergent
Google = internet search
Kiwi = penggilap kasut (?)
Minyak Kapak = pain reliever
Ajinomoto = MSG

I could swear I've never used the words "lampin/detergent/penggilap kasut" in a conversation. EVER.

Even if I know I'm looking for a Darlie toothpaste, I'll still shout from my bathroom door "Ibuuuu! Mana Colgate??"

You can give comments if you wanna add anything in the list. I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

p/s: I still use the term courier instead of FedEx, mainly because I prefer UPS.

The Economy has Taken Its Toll

2008-11-08T19:13:00.002-05:00

Why do I always succumb to my atrocious greed for artificial luxury?

And now, I am officially broke. What with Thanksgiving & Winter trip, I don't know how I'm going to balance my finance to last me till January.

On the greener side, I snatched a pretty superb bargain today. $2 for a 15-hour round trip to New York! How cheap is that??

Maybe I too have to look for the greener side of every possibilities. No more dollar-burning for winter coats and accessories!

It's a Headache

2008-11-08T01:18:00.004-05:00

Oh, I tell ya planning a trip is no walk in the park.

Holy crap I'm getting pusing and nauseous by the minute. I'm in such stress. OMG I wish it wouldn't be this hard for heaven's sake.

Anyone out there with experience please guide me through. I can't do this alone.

Beyonce is Back!

2008-10-25T12:21:00.003-04:00

I have got to be honest with y'all. I don't usually like Beyonce's music, but her latest videos are awesomeness.

There are two new videos in correspond to her new album "I am... Sasha Fierce", namely Single Ladies and If I Were a Boy. I really love the latter. The more I listen, the more sense it makes.

If I Were a Boy is definitely my favorite Beyonce song thus far.

P/S: I can't embed the videos so you just have to click the link.

Concrete Forest of the Capital Un Parte

2008-10-19T14:18:00.011-04:00

Pheww... What a weekend!

So where did I left you guys hanging with my story of adventure? Oh yeah, the awaiting for departure.

At 8.30pm the seniors arrived at my place and I loaded my stuffs into the car (one large tote, mind you). We then proceeded to another senior's house, and after that drove to Boulevard Towers where we were to gather and figure out the plan.

On the way to the aforementioned place, our car hit another car on the curb near Bob Mason. Thankfully, we both just had a scratch and nothing heavy, and the other driver (a cutesy Brian <3) was so kind. He didn't wanna file a police report. Yay!

So, at Boulevard Towers we were by 9pm. There were 13 of us, a 7-seater van and a 5-seater car. Bummer. 4 of us had to cram on the backseat of the car. Thank God none of them was me. I get to sit in the middle van seat (ala Kia Carnival, so you can just imagine how lapang and selesa it was). XD

Off we were to the capital city. I slept almost at once, but woke up when we were about to enter Pennsylvania. We had a few stops for gas and restrooms. And supper.

We finally arrived at Auntie Huda's house in DC at 6.30am. Some of us had the opportunity to sleep between the interval of arrival and the Raya Open House at Malaysian Embassy. The drivers were lost in their dreamland by 6.45am. Hell, it was a 9-hour drive mind you.

At 10am we were all ready to go. With Auntie Huda and Auntie Ani leading, we were able to swift through the confusing streets of DC. The Malaysian Embassy, on the other hand, is very bland and uninspired. Every other embassy buildings (there were whole rows of them! you name it! Denmark, Brunei, Pakistan, Nigeria, Italy...) was an architecture masterpiece. But whatever.

As soon as I stepped in, the first thing I saw was... people. In baju melayus and kurungs and kebayas. A whole lot of them. Not something I've seen in a while. And amidst the ocean of anonymity was Miem! Wee... Glad to see her again and to hear her tales of Manhattan. About 15 minutes after the PSU students arrived! Azreen, Sab, Izzati, Mila and a bunch others stepped inside. Seniors pon ada. ACTP AND Langkawianz. My INTEC crush was there too. Haha.

Fastforward 30 minutes (speeches and a closetful of pantuns), we found ourselves in the back garden, munching rendang daging, lemang, nasi briyani and plates of delicacies. Yum! As sweet a reunion it was, all good things must come to an end. At 2pm everyone was already leaving to explore the capital city, and other activities of which I am not sure I am authorized to type in here. And so were we. First stop: Smithsonian!

We left the Embassy and head for the MARA office to steal a parking space. We decided to take the Metro to do our sight-seeing. Somewhere in P St and 18th St, the MARA Office stood in bright blood-red. Along the way, we saw a whole row of shops that streteched for about half a mile long with an amazing lineup of shops that can't be found in Kerbau. A few of the girls and myself were flipping out and wanted to stop there at once for retail therapy. But we moved on instead. From the MARA office, we walked to Dupont Circle (where there was Krispy Kreme!) and went down the stairs into the Metro station.

Pergh... gila confusing la de ticket machine here. After asking a local, we decided to go to Smithsonian where the Washington Monument (the Pencil), museums, the Capitol and the White House are conveniently located.

We took the Red Line to Metro Center, where we switched to Orange Line to Smithsonian. The Metro system here is really efficient in comparison to KL's. Not too mention a whole lot of cabins or whatever they call it. Compare the 10-cabin Metro in DC to 2-cabin one of PUTRA in KL. Nuff said.

The Pencil was gorgeous. The Capitol was gorgeous. The museums were gorgeous. The concrete erections surrounding the area were gorgeous. They were all GORGEOUS. I felt as if I was in an ancient European city for a while there, away from the usual glassy and tall American architectures.

Then, we walked about 500m to the White House, where there were A LOT of people camwhoring and photobitching in front of the gate. We weren't allowed to go in, though. Hell, no one is except for authorized officials. The funny thing was, there were some people nearby who whispered to picture-obsessed passers-by to not get too close to the house because it was evil and Satan lives in it. Haha... No comment. And the whisperers were American. No comment.

After a day of brutalizing the camera function on my PDA (which is crap, as always), we decided to call it a day and head to Auntie Siti's house for dinner. At first we wanted to walk to a close Metro Station (not Smithsonian) but we ended up walking all the way to the car. Which was about 1.5 miles away. En route, I saw Thomas Pink and Burberry and a whole row of boutiques (different street from the one mentioned before) of which I didn't went in because we were in a rush.

Makan-makan, borak-borak, lentok-lentok and boom! it's 9pm. We headed back to Auntie Huda's place to catch some sleep.

Part Two coming right up! I need to sleep first... XD

Forest and the City

2008-10-17T19:26:00.006-04:00

Each one of us who are in Dr Fourner's E.Bio class had three choices for an extra 50 points in the course:

1) Go jungle trekking in countryside Alabama, NY, or
2) Read Voyage of the Beagle and discuss the difficulties Darwin faced in proving Natural Selection as a mechanism of evolution, or
3) Chillax and do nothing. He made sure this option is never forgotten, mind you.

Well, of course I took the easy way out. I could not afford to miss extra 50 points so I decided for the first option. Hey, forest trekking isn't so bad here considering the different capacity of flora and fauna than what I'm used to in Home Country.

So there I was today venturing the forest in search for evidence of variability in animal and plant populations. But what luck! October, apparently, is the wrong time to go animal-camwhoring. They, especially the birds, have all migrated to the South for the winter. Bummer.

Whatever, we still managed to snap a few shots of daisies and berries and dragonflies. Which will be the basis of our God-knows-what-I'm-going-to-write-about 10-page report.

Pushing that aside, I am too excited to go to Washington DC tonight!

Weeeeee...

Finally!! Freedom from the land of Kerbau!!!

Signed, sealed, delivered.

XOXO You know you love me ;)

******update******

Apparently, one of our to-be-rented van is not available. Now this is going to be a cramming night. Sardinized.

RULE #2 Tag 5 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

Tagged by : Iman Kamarul Asri

1. What would be the least favorite thing that has happened to you?

Having only RM150 during a trip to PWTC Book Fair and KLCC in 2006. It hurts a lot.

2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?

To have the knowledge of sewing and different types of fabrics and ways of using patterns and silhouettes.. Or to put in in three words: To be Marc Jacobs.

3.Why did you stop liking the last person you liked?

Because he turned out to be a very self-centered and selfish fag. Take that Chris Crocker!

4. What would you do with a billion dollars?

Honestly, I would fly to Paris and indulge in shopping haven. No surprises in that, I guess. And then I would go to Africa and donate my old wardrobe (with clothes of course).

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?

It can happen. Hey, I'm no chooser.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?

Love and be loved is equally blessed to be. Loving only is pathetic, and being loved only is suffocating.

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?

Eternity.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?

Attached to? What an ambiguous question! Attached to someone else, I'll leave him be. Attached to material things, I'll leave him to his shrink. Attached to a handcuff, I'll leave him to the police. Attached to a hanging string, I'll leave him to God.

9. Who or what has made the greatest impact in your life?

My besties. No one am I without them!

10. What do you look forward to in the next 3 months?

DC Trip (tonight!), NY Trip (New Year!), the end of E.Bio and World Civ.

11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?

Unhappy. Probably doing Graduate studies, or taking Bachelor's in Fashion Design.

12. What’s your fear?

Stepping outside looking like trash or worse, smelling like trash. And bankruptcy. Not to mention backfired medical breakthroughs that initiate worldwide epidemic. OK I watched too many zombie flicks.

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?

Manipulative braniac. Haha JK Iman! I do think she has a lot of composure. And a different brain operating system. And the queen of lexicons. Well, after Elyse Sewell anyway.

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?

Single and rich. Definitely. Then, guys would tail behind me. Anyhow, why marriage? It doesn't promise happiness in any way. Tambahan pula, look at the question! "single AND rich" vs "married BUT poor". You can tell a lot by the differential usage of conjunctions.

15. What’s the first thing that you do when you wake up?

Open my eyelids. Grab my PDA and look at the time. Typical.

16. Would you give all in a relationship?

Early stage, probably not. Intimate stage, yes I'll give my ALL.

17. What is the movie that you would promote to others?

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Atonement. I hate superhero flicks. Titanic and Harry Potter already have more exposure than they need.

18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?

Not entirely no. But time falter memories, so I might forget (and accidentally forgive) with time.

19. When was the last time you watched a movie and who did you watch it with?

Another ambiguous question. Where exactly? If you're talking about the cinema then I guess Sex and the City. Alone because I was on a one-day trip to KL to find some stuffs before flying off. If you're talking about anywhere then it's Cloverfield. In my room. (Yes I have only watched it recently!)

20. Has anyone told you a secret lately that you aren’t allowed to tell anyone?

Please determine how long is "lately". Seriously such ambiguity. Anyway I guess the answer is NO. What was a secret back then is not anymore. So I guess what was told doesn't matter now whether or not it was a secret.

21. List 5 people to tag

- Altaf Khan

- Hafidz Pison

- Countess Miem

- Deboonga?

- Saleh the Slayer

Hotline to Hell

If ever you have a grudge on someone, click here at precisely midnight to access the hotline to hell. You have only one chance for every 24 hours. Take it from someone who's been there, done that.

Enter the name of your hated one, and Enma Ai will deliver your evil deed for you. That is, the begrudged person will be sent straight to hell.

Have fun with your revenge. It's sweet, trust me.

The Faded Grasp of an Old Man

2008-10-15T00:19:00.003-04:00

The Susan in me finally emancipated today to reveal my clumsy side during chemistry lab period.

Not 5 minutes had gone by that I smashed one of my Erlenmeyer flask when I tipped it over to make it lie instead of stand on the desk. Not 5 minutes.

If that wasn't bad enough, things started to go haywire from there. 15 minutes flew and -kpaanggg- my graduated cylinder broke.

Well, at least Susan-me wasn't as violent with it as she was with the Erlenmeyer flask. Only the top part was broken, still permitting me to continue the purpose of its existence: volume measuring.

Except now I have to be twice as careful when pouring liquid out of the now deformed graduated cylinder. Careful? That is like a total antonym considering those circumstances.

Tambahan pula, I am 111% sure I'm intoxicated from all that inhale of oxalic acid we used in today's lab. A substance that my TA had assured me to be toxic. There goes my brain.

In result, I was the last person to leave the lab. No, not because I had to clean up the mess (my 30-seconds vanishing act proved useful) but because all that smashing and trashing and deforming glass cylinders and cones backtracked my experimental process.

And also because I was trying not to be a klutz after those two horrific incidents for which I had to pay $x.xx for. Talk about ripping off.

But for what it's worth, that cute guy from Statistics lecture lingered his eyes on me during class today. I pretended to be busy with calculations to avoid his gaze, though.

Saoirse Ronan <3

2008-10-12T07:01:00.005-04:00

I love Saoirse Ronan! She's one of my favorite child actress apart from Dakota Fanning.

What you might not know is that she's Irish, and has a thick accent.

WTF WAS CAMERON DIAZ DOING IN THAT SHOT? Saoirse is much better!

Anyway, Saoirse can pull off any role she play! And, she is especially talented with accents.

British:

American:

I do believe that Oscar should have had her name on it.

Time Travelling With a Life on Mars?

2008-10-11T06:46:00.010-04:00

WHAT?

Hahahaha... No, dear readers, this post is not about a scientific breakthrough by NASA. Hahaha.. (OK laugh with me here or else I'll feel deeply embarrassed)

Isn't it funny how some of my favorite ABC shows are remakes of other shows in other countries? (Think Betty, la fea). Except for Pushing Daisies. And Samantha Who. And Desperate Housewives. Wait, Betty's about it! Sheesh..

Well now you can add "Life on Mars" on the list too. Apparently, (and I have only just found out about it like, 5 seconds ago?) the ABC's newest series is a counterpart of a British television program of the same name!

Figures the Americans would want to twist that one around like what they did to Betty.

I mean, do I smell a soap opera brewing what with the Ignacio/Hilda/Tony/Wife, Willy/Christina/Baby, Kimmy/Betty/Hilda, Daniel/Betty, Daniel Junior/Daniel/Alexis, Christina/Stuart/Drugs, Willy/Claire/Alexis/Daniel, Marc/Betty/Amanda dramas..? It's a wonder they're not making it daytime yet!

Las Pasiones de Betty anyone?

Anyway, back to Life on Mars. Just check it out anyway. I'm not too fancy of the song choices but I'm not repulsed by it.

Ohh, and isn't Jason O'Mara just dishy? Well, for a 36 year-old.

A Tale for the RoadRunner

2008-10-10T09:09:00.005-04:00

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog during my 4-month hiatus, perhaps you would have noticed that I have changed my style of writing quite a bit in allegory to my early posts.

Ever since that first post in which I typed whole words, with correct punctuations and accurate letter cases, I decided to blog with, well, grammar. Looking back and reading those ancient entries, I found my typing highly illegible. Almost a bit childish, if not comical. Takes almost half the time it would to be read had it been written in proper syntax.

And so, in my own futile attempt for disciplinary writing skills, this blog was given a new life. One with legitimate conjugation.

Ayh the story of my life!

Weight Watch

2008-10-08T20:57:00.003-04:00

I've been told on countless occasions that I'm too thin, I'm too skinny or I'm too bony. These people, in my humblest opinion, have not any idea what thin is. Zilch.

Again, in my humblest opinion, I am not that thin. I have a perfectly normal body for my size. I eat regularly (pizza, pasta, pies and cheesecake and all), although I don't really work out that much. But all that stair-climbing (I live in the highest floor of Schoellkopf) and running to class to escape tardiness and carrying those heavy 1-gallon water bottles from TOPS are enough for a week's worth of exercise. It is just not my fault that I have a high metabolism level. I didn't ask to be born smaller in size, you know.

In fact, I was not always as I am now. I used to be bigger. Chubbier. But that was back when I was a kid. But then everything just sort of sucked out. Not literally, no.

And I just hate those thinphobic charlatans. They are publicly discriminating the thin society. Thin is not sick, people! Thin is beauty, just like any other body type would be as beautiful.

For all those people who shouted Mary-kate, Lindsay and those 90210 girls to eat, look into the mirror before you do anything. Maybe you could see that they are happy being a tad size too small, and that you should back off before suggesting extra intakes of calories. You're the one who's ugly. Stop making us feel like we are a sickness to the society.

If I am not discriminating other body types, why should you? We should all tolerate each other. Maybe then would we realize there is nothing to be worried about in the first place.

Oh, and this goes to the homophobes too.

Of Phrases and Alteration

2008-10-08T12:47:00.002-04:00

The title of one of the short stories we learned in English Form 1 classes has had a greater impact on my friends and I than I had previously imagined.

The phrase Of Bunga Telur and Bally Shoes has been overwritten countless of times for the purpose of humor and blog headers. With minor alterations of course. Replacing the noun-specific words is an easy task, and I shall forever be reminded of the composition everytime it is used.

I, myself has utilize it a few times (including for this post title).

XD

Whatever your thoughts may be, you can't argue that the phrase is forgettable. Clearly it has pasted itself on my mind since that day I first flipped through Selected Poems and Short Stories.

And it's not peeling off anytime soon.

A Game for President

2008-10-06T21:18:00.010-04:00

So, I got this deck of cards for Bio Lab the week before last. We had to generate Random Genetic Drift using the deck. Don't ask.

Anyway, I would very much like to share with you a game my friends and I invented (using a deck of playing cards) back in Lower Secondary School. Much more of the fact that I did not know what else to do with the cards after the Lab period.

Now, the game is called President. There's a reason for its name of course. But first, let me just explain some basic rules:

1) There must be EXACTLY four people playing.
2) In addition to the four sets of 13 cards, 4 Joker Cards will be used.

After you gathered 4 people and 4 Jokers, it's time to shuffle those cards and start playing!

How to play:

1) Use your own creative methods to determine the order of turn (Back in the day, we used to distribute a card for each player and see who goes first based on the number (Ace then King then Queen...). After that, it will be easier to sit around in order (clockwise or counterclockwise) to avoid confusion of whose turn.

2) The shuffled deck will be divided EQUALLY amongst the four players (14 cards for each player)

3) This game is played by withdrawing cards from players' hands onto the table. No deposition of cards into players' hands can be made. Thus players' number of cards will either be downsized or be remained the same (in cases of "Pass" turn).

4) Essential method of playing - each subsequent player must withdraw higher numbered card(s) onto the table from the numbered card that was withdrawn by the previous player. Three exceptions are cards "A", "2" and Jokers. "A" and "2" cards are considered the highest valued cards, so they can be put onto the table even if "K" is on top of the pile.

"A" or "2" can be withdrawn to table on top of "K"

However, if "A" is withdrawn, the only number that can be withdrawn by subsequent players will be either "A" or "2".

Only "2" can be withdrawn if "A" is on top

If "2" is withdrawn, then the next player can withdraw cards as low as "2", "3", "4" and so forth.

Any number can be withdrawn onto the table if "2" is on top

So if a number "10" card is on the top pile of the cards on table, the next player can only withdraw either a "J", "Q", "K", "A" or "2". Joker cards will be explained later.

5) There are several possible rounds of the game. The "Single", "Double" or "Triple" Number rounds. "Single" rounds are when only ONE card is withdrawn from the players hand. "Double" and "Triple" rounds are when only TWO/THREE cards of the same NUMBER are withdrawn to the table.

A "Double" round. Pictures before are "Single" round.

A "Triple" round.

6) Now, if ever a player obtained 2/3 cards of the same number, he can group them together for the "Double/Triple Number" rounds or he could always use the cards separately in the "Single" rounds.

7) If a person obtained a full house from his set of 14 cards, he can withdraw those 4 cards to the table, "Flush" those 4 cards away, and start a new round. Of course, it can only be done when the table is empty of any round.

A full house obtained by a single player and withdrawn onto empty table

The "Flushing"

Initiation of new round by the same player

8) "Flushing" - The clearance of the table. Can be done when

a) All three players "passed" their turns except the player to which the top card on the table belongs. That player will withdraw the first card for the next round after the "Flush"

b) Usage of Joker Cards. Can be used on ANY rounds. The player who utilized the Joker card will initiate the next round.

c) A full house is achieved. Either by withdrawing all 4 cards from one player's hands, or by accumulating 4 cards of the same number on the table back-to-back from two (for "Double" rounds) or four (for "Single" rounds) players. The player who last withdraw his card onto the table will start the next round.

Accumulation of four same numbered cards back to back from four players ("Single" round)

First card is withdrawn by first player

Second card is withdrawn by second player

Third card is withdrawn by third player

Fourth Card is withdrawn by fourth player. Full house is reached.

The "Flushing"

Initiation of new round by fourth player.

9) Joker Cards CANNOT be used when the table is empty. So, its usage is a question of wisdom and experience.

Joker card on an empty table is a NO-NO!

10) "Pass" turn - A player have the choice to "Pass" his turn if he does not have higher numbered card(s) OR he has only a Joker Card and the table is empty OR if he just feels like it.

11) The person who withdrew ALL of his cards onto the table first will become "The President". Runner-up is crowned "Vice-President". We used to name the second and third runner-ups as "Ketua Kuli" and "Vice-Kuli". Haha.. XD

It's an easy game really. Once you played a few times and get the hang of it..

I remember we used to play all night long until 1 to 2am. Especially on weekends. I was one of the reigning champions alongside rival Juliano.

Have fun! XD

Spring Schedule Plan

2008-10-06T14:12:00.002-04:00

I have started planning on my Spring 2009 Class Schedule today even though registration windows will not open until Nov 22, 2008.

Whatever, it will be easier then. I don't have to gabra2 and having to figure out which class, what time etc etc in the midst of what I predict to be a chaotic fight for specific classes. First come first served basis. So, it is a good thing that I have planned mine a month ahead. XD

Unfortunately, as you can see, I could not find any class that was not on Monday nor Friday. Looks like my 3-day weekend will end by Spring! I will miss you dearly!!

p/s: I'm planning on taking 19 Credit Hours this semester (maximum number of CH for one particular semester). I don't know if it will be too much though..

Reverse Your Syllable

2008-10-05T00:58:00.008-04:00

Now, I'm no pro at pronouncing words backwards, but dear Lord I would never have thought it would make a pretty cool statement for a song.

For the two years I have known this song I had not any idea that some of the lines in it were sang backwards. I thought they were Japanese!

This is not like Chris Martin who practiced for a month (!) for The Scientist video, of which I dearly <3. She actually vocally project the words!

Of course, she could have sang it the unreversed way, and have technology do the reversing. But for fun's sake, you try:

"wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I"

"snwod dna spu ynam os"

"snoitome eurt deen I"

Tricky? Maybe you too need studio subordinates to do your reverse bidding.

Now, put your tongue twisting aside, and hear that song backwards shall we?

Sanctuary (Reversed) - Utada Hikaru

The lyrics:

I need more affection than you know.
Hey- hey-
Heh- heh.

I need more affection than you know.
Wasn’t it easy?
Yeah- yeah-
Heh- heh.
Was him.
We all three grew.
I hear I was Ansem.

I need more affection than you know.
Now you shall sleep.
Yeah- yeah-
And it was real
And I never knew it.
Hey-

Now I
Can close it.

Sli-
I hate motion.
I need true emotions.
I need more affection than you know.
I need true emotions.
I will not destroy ‘em.
So many ups and downs.
He-

I need more affection than you know.

We are all-
We still laugh.
We shall be back.
How-

And it was real.
And I never knew it.
I need more affection than you know.

Amazing, no?

p/s: Ansem was the antagonist of the "first" game to which this song belongs to (this song was featured on the "second" game. The games are Kingdom Hearts I and II, if you are wondering.

5 Seconds Movies

2008-10-04T02:55:00.005-04:00

For how long I do not know, but this 5 second movies phenomenon has striked YouTubers to the extremity, all thanks to That Guy With the Glasses. Yeah, that guy. The one with the glasses.

If ever you miss the actions of a must-watch at the silver screen, fear not, for now you can catch their mini versions, courtesy of that guy. With the glasses. And the best part is, you won't even feel the time had passed.

Comic genius? I cannot agree more.

If you crave more, just YouTube. Or press "play" below.

There are more for your savor, of course.

Now I can enjoy blockbusters in the littless time.

And like I said, you won't even feel it flew by.

Two Practice Tests, and The Hard One

2008-10-02T09:15:00.004-04:00

I died. I died. I just died.

Statistics test just now was NOT as the practice tests would suggest! Sheesh.. I mean, 2 years ago, the Test 1 questions were the SAME as the practice test that I did last night. And I mean the SAME.

Dr Kuhlmann really gave some questions didn't he? Holy bejesus!

OK I don't wanna think about it. I need to sleep in this 1 hour interval between my posting this and my Chemistry Lecture. I haven't slept all night. The flu kept me awake.

I should get sick all the time. Seriously, my flu somehow boosts my concentration.

Attention Concentrate!

Arrow Vulcan!

OK Carried away by RO just a little bit there..

For the first time, I answered all of my Bio quiz questions with confidence. Wee.. finally full marks! I hope.

With tomorrow's Statistics test and my Influenza, Dr Kuhlmann is gonna be knocked dead by my answers! HAH! JK.

OK I seriously need to study probabilities. I'm all rusty.

I so can't wait for Pushing Daisies tonight! Seriously, it's the best ever! <3 Kristin Chenoweth! That Emmy should've gone to her!

Unfortunately, I can't watch it on TV. Well, since I got here I've never watched anything on TV except The Simpsons. I have a Bio Lab tonight till 10pm. Boo hoooo..

Anyway, I can always catch it online at abc.com. And Ugly Betty. And Desperate Housewives!

p/s: The Flu's getting wilder. No sign of fever yet.

Cookie crumbled

2008-09-30T16:04:00.004-04:00

OK. So I had this plan to make Raya confectioneries today since tomorrow's Eid Mubarak and today's Rosh Hashanah holiday. Whatever. Went to TOPS and seek the ingredients.

After 30-minutes tour of TOPS I decided to give it up. I mean, $5 for a measuring cup? $10 for a mixing bowl and $8 for an oven tray? What the? And NO gratified butter aka minyak sapi. sheesh..

As if it's not bad enough that I'm having a sore throat. I foresee a fever in near future. Very near future.

What with two tests coming up on Thursday and Friday.. I need a snooze.

*******update*******

I have been spraying mucus all day long. It's official. Fever is coming tomorrow. On Eid.

On another note, RIP to the toilet seat that has been supporting my arse for the few days it survived.

Materialized Dreams

2008-09-29T14:26:00.007-04:00

God. Dreams do come true.

Haha. That is so cheesy. Haha.

Anyway, about dreams, HA! Reality is even BETTER than dreams! Reality FTMFW! Dreams suck eggs (whose?)! LOL Totally inappropriate. Totally.

Some stuffs I bought online arrived this morning! Check them out:

I never thought I'll have an iPod. It's a bit tricky though, but I'll get used to it.

As you can see I decided to engrave the back to add a personal touch. You probably can't read it. PDA Camera sucks big time. They suck Easter bunny eggs. Ultimate period.

For a very long time, I couldn't decide what to engrave. I finally decided on this really fabulous phrase from Greg Climer:

"Godspeed the Well-Dressed Man"

HA! That is SO ME! Oh, quit perasan-ing lover boy!

And here's my absolute favorite piece in my closet. I've wanted one of it back in April/May! Do you remember this post?

It's so beautifully wrapped. If I hadn't been so greedy I would've sold it to a museum! OK overrated.

And OMG. Here you finally are.

My Black Rats! Welcome home, my love! Get a life, loser!

On the contrary, though it is small (it is a legging, duhh), it is VERY comfortable, with capitals V-E-R-Y! I feel like a million bucks. Sass & Bide rocks!

Here's another piece that came through mail today:

Cat in a Hat. Cat in a Hat. Mike Myers makes my laughbox splat.

Thank you! Thank you!!

I love every single one of them!

There were more, of course, that came through mail but I can't blog about them all! You can visualize my whole closet if I do! Not gonna happen! So not gonna happen!

*Drowned in sweet artificial retail love* Cinnamon anyone?

Seduced by Androgyny

2008-09-29T00:17:00.005-04:00

Oohh.. You guys know that I support androgyny don't you? All that gender-bending rules just make my heart pumps sweet cinnamon coffee. OK that was totally random. Totally.

Anyway, I have just discovered Gareth Pugh. He's an amazing designer who based in Paris. And he's just 27 years old! But his taste level is impeccable. So me. Dark and aesthetic. So so me.

Check out his AW08 Collection:

I love the music. I love the designs. I love the overall presentation!

Did you see how that dress moved at 4:20? OMG That has to be the most intricate piece I've seen!

Check out this queenie wearing a Gareth Pugh sweater:

Isn't it gorgeous? He's Charles btw. And he's 15. God knows what I'll pay to be 15 again.

If you ever want to buy me a present, that sweater would be perrrrfect! Click here to see it. It's on my wishlist! Email me if you want my address :P

Of Monsters and Evolution

2008-09-27T14:22:00.003-04:00

I can't exactly remember the year, but I think it was 1999/2000. I was just a little boy who does nothing but watch cartoons :).

I remembered seeing a Digimon commercial on NTV7 and I remembered thinking "Wow.. that's so cheesy". On the second week of its airing I accidentally (or a sign from God) switched from TCS Premiere to NTV7 and saw Agumon evolved to Greymon. I've been hooked up ever since. Still am.

And, I also remembered how ecstatic I was to discover that last year, Animax rebroadcast Digimon Adventure 02, albeit at 3 in the morning. I would wake up everyday (minus the day I'm playing RO all night long) at 2.45am, awaiting one of my favorite anime of all time. It was worth it. Until school came about. Damn! And until my dad cut our Astro Variety subscription. Double damn!

I miss it so much. I really miss Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02 and Digimon Tamers. I have not watched the whole season of the last two, so I'm really looking forward for Digimon DVDs, which are long overdue.

My heart breaks when I watch these:

How I miss them so! Patamon <3

Made by Movie Maker

2008-09-27T12:54:00.003-04:00

Please excuse and allow me to discharge my anger

AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!

Hooohh.. That's better

I am so pissed at Windows Movie Maker. I've been spending all night long making this video, and by all night long I mean 12am till 6am long! But when I published the movie, guess what? This HUGE (and I mean HUGE) block of green anonymity appeared in the video out of nowhere! It took exactly half the screen, so the video was soo badly ruined I had to republish again and again. But on every occasion this repulsive color block emerged, damaging the video again and again. I don't know where it came from! I'm so pissed off.

I'm so PISSED!

Now This is What I Call Freedom

2008-09-26T00:12:00.003-04:00

I love America. I really do.

People here discuss politics and racism with an open mind, much unlike my origin country. With no biased law that restricts a person's right for freedom of speech and opinion, no wonder this country has moved so far away from feudal and draconian ways of dictation.

With the ongoing presidential heat, bounded to reach ultimatum on November 4th 2008, the United States residents (lecturers and even students) are ever more avid of their country's future leadership. The question at hand is: McCain or Obama?

pictures from timpanogos.wordpress.com and podcastingnews.com

Then we have the ostentatious Palin lady. An aspiring VP to McCain. Disgusting updo, if you would ask for my honest opinion. And her seemingly inferior knowledge of the US political history (ugh.. what's Bush Doctrine?). Not to mention her traditionalism and conservative manners and opinions.

picture from gov.state.ak.us

Now, I'm not the one to judge the political scene of the US. But the excitement nevertheless has got my adrenaline rushed.

With the addition of the econominc declination, the votes are certainly at its peak of importance to ensure this country's prosper future.

Make the right choice.

And I'm all for change, if you would ask my honest opinion. ;P

Song Identification Assistance Needed

2008-09-25T22:17:00.003-04:00

Everyone HELP!

I really want to know who covered this song ("I was made for lovin' you" originally by KISS) used in the Australia's Next Top Model 3 Promo Ad.

Ohh please tell me if you know. I'm dying here! Been googling for hours but nothing came up! (No, it's not from Dax Riders either)

Anyone who can tell me will be greatly rewarded!

Just make sure you have a Paypal account XD

Lesson of Life

2008-09-25T00:30:00.003-04:00

Fear is evil. Fear creates a whole depiction in a person's mind of the worst possible outcome that would happen. Out of fear, people throughout the history of human civilization have done things, terrible things to keep them from their mind's horrible depiction.

The only thing human has ever feared is losing.

Fear of losing Economic Advantage. Power. Love. Life.

People who would never learn are those who would not face their fear. They would not want to lose their money's worth. They would not want to lose their power over others. They would not want to lose anything. The only want to gain more and more.

How lifeless these beings are. Poor, pity and selfless.

Most times losing brings forth new possibilities. And fear turns out to be not nearly as fearful as we had imagined. And forever will bravery triumph for those who understand.

Buffalo and its Weather

2008-09-24T23:31:00.003-04:00

Buffalo's weather is like this:

Really cold in the morning (Mist comes out of your mouth when you talk)
Warm in mid-morning
Kinda hot in the afternoon
Hot in the evening
Cold during the night

Since my class starts at 7.30/8.00 am on all four school days, you can imagine the shiver I get if I step outside in a short-sleeve crewneck tee.. Brrrrrrr..

Wait, why am I rambling about the weather? No absolute point I guess..

God, I just kept going on and on and on and on don't I? Tell me about it.

Pif. I have a test coming up on Friday. Biology. Evolution. And Natural Selection.

In a situation in which time-traveling is made possible; if I have to choose to go back and shoot Darwin before his voyage on the Beagle, I would not do so. You know why? Because if I do kill him, then I would disappear. It's called paradox. You can't change something of the past if the reason you went back is because of that particular something. See, if Darwin died, he would not have proposed the theory of evolution, and I would not have gone through hours learning about his life and t.o.v, which wouldn't allow me to want to go back and kill him. Do you see what I mean?

Whatever. I'm just gonna stop it. Totally pointless post btw. XD

Marie Has Taken My Heart Again!

2008-09-23T23:57:00.003-04:00

If I was ever a straight guy I would so go for her like a hungry vicious canine. Grrrr...

You all know I'm a big fan of Marie, and indeed her rendition of My Life (The Game ft Lil' Wayne) has been stuck in my head of late, relinquishing the previous melody that had been manipulating my head - Somethin' Stupid.

Given a choice, I prefer her version a million times better than the original. Just like how I love her cover of Umbrella.

I <3 you, Marie! Hope you'll visit Buffalo soon!

Your Fall Pick?

2008-09-23T23:32:00.006-04:00

We are in that time, Ladies and Gentlemen. The time for over-the-top comedies and overly-cliched dramas to renew their seasons!

So which do you anticipate the most?

Here's my list:

1) Pushing Daisies (Oct 1st on ABC)
2) Ugly Betty (Sept 25th on ABC)
3) Desperate Housewives (Sept 28th on ABC)
4) ANTM 11 (Sept 3rd on CW)
5) Amazing Race 13 (Sept 28th on CBS)
6) Amazing Race Asia 3 (which, unfortunately, I have no access to.. :(
7) Project Runway 5 (which is in its final 5 week now. I hope Leanna wins it. She seems to create the best collection for Fashion Week, albeit one that would never rival Christian "Fierce" Siriano's and Jillian's IMO)

I love Olive Snook. Kristin should have won that Emmy!

Just a quick photos of the new ANTM girls. These are my favorite two:

The go-RAH-geous Lauren Brie:

Have a great Fall! XD

p/s: Will you guys drop dead if I say I'm not really into Gossip Girl? Woops did I type that out loud? Good. I love their fashions but I hate the storyline. It's another superficial cliched drama or what-have-you. Now Pushing Daisies on the other hand.....

Come Josephine In My Flying Machine

If you guys hadn't known, I've gone back through time and crazed over Titanic this past few weeks. I watched it two times last weekend (yes, for the whole 3 and a half hours! no, make that seven!!). I even wiki-ed some stuffs about the "unsinkable" ship, and went as far as seeking the songs in the soundtrack!

And did I found the most interesting song of all. It creeped me out a little bit.

The original, however ironic it may be, is actually a gay song about aeroplanes. You know how we "oohed" and "aahed" when new, precedented technology (iPhone anyone?) come about? Well apparently this is their way of celebrating the birth of the flying machine!

Oh No I didn't!

OMG!

Can you believe it? I sure can't!

For the past few days I have the sudden urge to blog again! HAH! Like that's something new..

"Oh my untouched piece of gem, I have left you for months now.. How did you ever survived without my witty little tales?"

Oh shut the hell up!

****DRUMROLLS****

She's back bitch.

cberry's gonna redefine fabulousness again!

The Chase #2, The Lie, and The Homelessness

The last 3 days (including today) has been crazy. TMTH crazy.

If I have the mood to blog I will probably narate some crazy events that happened.

But I'll probably just vlog. It's easier.

Just pray the internet connection will allow me to post videos on youtube.
