Gosh it has been so long since i last updated. Busy, busy,busy. I can't wait for the O'lvls to be over. Right after my last exam i'm gonna go sit in the library till 8pm! I have been trying to be concientious with my school work. It's not easy though. There is a lot of work and there are always the lures of my storybooks,the com and so many other things which i use for entertainment. Needless to say i am a rather lazy girl!
But surprisingly i don't hate school at all. I look forward to it although i do appreciate my weekend breaks. But thats a good thing right? Not hating school. I am glad we have all those so-called 'disruptors' in our class. At least they enliven the lesson. Ha, it's so funny, during Physics Ms Tan keeps warning H and V and Jing and co to be uiet. And then V keeps calling me his darling. H thinks he lays it on to thick. But i wonder why V does that. Sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable. But mostly it doesn't bother me. And the rest of the class seems to treat it like its normal. Ah well...

Men nowadays-Modern or still living in the 15th century?
So what do you think about men nowadays? Are they modern or not? By modern, i refer to their treatment and views of the opposite sex. I have had the fortune to experience modern(or fairly modern at least) men. However i have also had the misfortune to meet the not-so-modern ones! I still can't believe such people exist! Those sexist, male, chauvinistic(i apologise if i spelt it wrong) pigs! I know circumstances are different in other parts of the world but where i live, this should not be the case at all. Women are now equal to men. No longer do we have to emulate men, just to survive in the male dominated working world. We can now embrace our feminity and at the same time, be equally as successful as the men!
Anyway, the reason i started this little rant was well...long stary but the short is that my uncle, whom everyone is trying to get to marry my cuz( somethin about keeping the line pure or something like that) sent her an email, which was sort of a proposal(in a screwed up way). And my cuz got angry at the e mail(understandably) and forwarded it to the aunts involved in the arrangement. This included my mum. I sneaked onto my mums' email(she left it on) and forwarded the message to myself, so i could read. Here is a little excerpt.
1. I believe that I mentioned you that I am a very moody person when I was chatting with you. I get very angry, once I even broke my sister’s teeth. My sister is the first person I care about and if this happened to her imaging what will happen to someone else. I even slap her if she doesn’t behave well. What would you do if I do this to you? I am not saying that I will, but sometimes I can’t control it.
2. I don’t like you calling me by the name, I am older than you and you don’t give respect for my age.
3. I don’t want you to have any kind of Social Network profiles, and I want them to be deleted. If you don’t want to then you can have one and you have to modified it and remove the entire picture and leave one or two.
4. Even I am moody person; I am a kind hearted person as well. I do respect women. But I will not give equal rights :) you will get what is yours.
5. I am sponsoring my sister for her studies. So I will be spending lots of money on her. When you come here the expense for us will double so you will not have the luxuries that you had at home. No car, no house and sometimes you will need to walk 1 – 2 Km every day. You will have to cook every day; we can go out once in a while. You will have to do house work, ironing etc. Having said that, I am not going to watch you while you are cleaning the house, I will help you as well. After all you are my wife (not yet :))
6. I want you to listen to what I say and do it as it is. You can always suggest better things, but arguing for nothing will always end up in problems. I had a bad first impression with you when I asked you for the photo. I asked you because every photo in Friendster looks different and I have already looked at them and you never sent me a new one. You simply asked my photo without giving yours.
7. My issue is that if I stop talking to a person I never talk to them again unless they talk to me. I wasn’t talking to my brother for 6 months, I wasn’t talking to my mother for 3 months. I had good friends that I don’t talk to them anymore, it is like more than 10 years. Unless they come to be I will never go to them. I am afraid that will happen between us, it will be your job to calm me if I get angry or stop talking to you even if I am refusing to talk to you. I am trying to change though, but so far no go.
8. I only said yes because of my dad. I didn’t really want to marry someone from our family, and then I thought for a while. Then I realized it would be better because in the future if your mother come and stay with us I will look her as my sister and vice versa. And you would do the same. Your mother asked your grandma about the dowry, and she asked my dad what we are expecting. I told my dad I do not want anyone’s money I will take care about my wife until I have last breath in my body. And I am only expecting a loving and caring person.
So you see what i mean. Plus the dude lives in Australia. Shouldn't he have a more modern outlook on life considering where he lives? Anyway, draw your own conclusions from the above but the thing that got me the most mad was No. 4. What right does he have to say that? My cousin is her own women, he doesn't own her.
Now, i have to be fair and accredit him for honesty. I'll give him that. And the very first part of the e mail was a wee bit sweet if a bit wierdly expressed. Obviously the guy needs to brush up on his love letter writing skills. But still, the way he expects her to do as he asks, and that thing about women not being equal....made me seriously pissed.
Anyway, even though she got angry, she agreed to marry. Must be the family pressure. And the sugar daddy-like behaviour. He bought her an i-phone, he is going to pay for her to have her teeth done at a private hospital and he is going to pay for her to study for Masters. Isn't that like a sugar daddy or what? And it's not like her parents are poor or anything. But seriously, this decision is gonna last her the rest of her life. I wonder if this is what she seriously wants?
And i think it's a bit sick that she is marrying her uncle. (Her maternal grandfather was his father's brother.) They are still blood related. In M'sia, it is banned except for Hindu's. Wierd! They wanted them to marry within the family to preserve the purity of the blood and all that crap cause he's a pure. She's just a half. No doubt i will have to undergo all this traumatising times in about 10 years time. Worse for me since i'm a pureblood. (He he, now i'm thinking Harry Potter). But i am confident of myself. I won't bend down to pressure.
If i got an e mail like that, i would just tell the guy very(un) politely that he needs someone with a different outlook in life.
FYI: He's about 5 to 7 yrs older than her. She's 22 or 23.

My poor derriere
Ouch! My butt still feels the sting of the ground caressing it ever so lovingly.
I went rollerblading yesterday with a friend. It was her first time and my experience with the rollerblades had been limited to a mere 40 minutes of flailing my hands around, desperately trying not to fall and, at the same time, not look like an idiot. Anyway, we donned our skates and after a few falls, she decided to stick to the railings. I decided to be a bit more adventurous and went to the centre. You know it really is funny how when guys see pretty girls doing something wrong or in trouble, they are so uick to help her. But when it is a not too pretty girl, the advice is rare and help, even more so. Such is our world, sigh. What a pity.
At least i can comfort myself with the thought that i am extremely independant person andd therefore fully capable of doing things with little help. Anyway, although i fell down more often than she did i probably fared better than her due to all that excess butt fat. Heh heh.
There was a part where i managed to convince her to hold on to my hand and we skated to the other side. Halfway through she lost control and i ended up giving her an impromptu piggyback of sorts. One that involved her near strangling me and her skates dragging along. We managed to reach the other side where she kind of collapsed on the ground and i clung desperately to the railings. We must have provoked uite a few laughs. I wish i could have seen how we looked. I was cracking up so much after that. I had loads of fun and i think she did too. I can't wait to try the rollerblades again!! But must remember to stick magazines or newspapers in my pants next time.

Equilibrium
I was just watching Equilibrium. It was quite interesting. Christian Bale(Batman) is acting. It's concept was the most interesting. A world where all emotions are suppressed by a drug;Proziac so that there will be no hate or rage and therefore no war.
A group of elite soldiers maintain order by killing anyone who abstain from their daily dose or those found with emotion stimulating objects such as paintings,books,movies etc. They are known as Clerics. Christian Bale plays Preston, one of the best Clerics who one day, avoids taking his dosage.
They tried to make the storyline too complicated so it resulted in it sounding a bit silly at the end when the bad guy(The Father) tells Preston he planned everything.But the action isn't bad.Cool gun fighting moves, even if it is a bit unbelievable.
One part of the movie that caught my attention, is the part where Preston returns home and his son(training to be a cleric) is sitting in front of this enormous TV screen watching the Father, talking about Proziac and basically extolling the virtues of not feeling and being identical to everyone else and all that. The image is such a typicality of Brainwashing. I am sure this scene has been used in many movies to represent brainwashing. 'Small boy in front of big screen listening to face talking about something'. If it had been a small screen it wouldn't have had that effect.
I think Christian Bale did a good job in this movie. Most of the acting here is facial motions and body language, unlike most movies. Just a simple slide of eyes to the back of someones head tells you that person is not feeling as he should be. Tells you to watch him carefully.

O'Levels and Practicality
I visited my friend Silas's blog. Good lord, he even has a countdown to O'levels. Its making me extremely nervous. It's uite refreshing reading his blog. His language is uite bombastic and humorous. His blog is uite informative. Most blogs are typical in the way they describe their users' lives and the language they use is almost greek.
Anyway, i visited VJC's homepage. I wanted to DSA for it but now i'm not sure. They want those talented in Arts and Sports. And i'm neither. Even my CCA's aren't anything to do with them. Groan!!! Plus their subject combination doesn't include Bio and Econs. Sucks man! I wantes to do H3 Bio and H2 econs since i need to know about monetary stuff. Who else is gonna deal with my finances(tax,investments, and bills) when i'm older? I need to be self reliant.
I notice this peculiar trait, all the good students take up subjects that are mostly useless in their working world while the not-so-good ones(for whatever reason) take up the practical subjects. I mean why would i need to know how an insulated sphere works and why HCl is acidic in aueaous form and non-acidic in gaseous form? But would it not be better for me to take Principles of Accounts? Even if i don't become an accountant i can use it in my personal life?
But if i opt for those subjects, people will look down on you and for some reason you will not be as respected and you won't get as many chances as those who take the more 'useless' subjects. Not to mention the reaction of the parents. Anyway the only way i can become independant and make my way through the working world is to know all that so i guess i have to educate myself. Groan!!! All that workload. I am just grateful i am not someone who gets stressed out or panics. I never do that!

Pics and cams
I would have posted some pics of the trip but unfortunately my father's camera went kaput halfway. But at least my relatives took pics. I'll beg some and post it up here. Wish i hadn't lost my cam in India. A thousand and one curses on the saukerl that took it. And at the end of the trip too! With all those lovely pics in it! Next time i get a camera, i'm gonna attach it to my belt loops like a wallet.
Mt Kinabalu
I went to Sabah. It was my first time back. It was a bit more built up than i expected it to be. I went to Mt Kinabalu. Wow, about 1/2 a km up and i was panting away. I would like to make the full climb sometime in the future. It is my own private vow. On the way up i saw an amazing thing. There was a guy carrying a tank of gas and running up the mountain. My jaw dropped all the way to my toes. That guy was friggin strong!! Carrying such a heavy thing and running up and down like it was no big thing. WOW!
His calf muscles were huge. Bigger than the width of both my arms put together. He nearly bumped into my cuz on the way down and he gave this shy smile and mumbled a sorry before racing off again.
At the Timpohon entrance we saw this board with the list of the fastest climbs ever made. Coming in 2nd and 3rd for the male (i think) amateurs were japanese men. We saw a bunch of japanese hikers and they looking at the board and acting all proud and whatnot. I felt like laughing at their expressions. They were going "ah so" and all that. Later when i saw that guy running i was thinking, that guy could probably beat them all even with a leg ache.
It's just unfair sometimes, the way some people get credit for stuff when other people have done it better than them. This guy could probably win cross countries with no problem at all! Ah well, all i can do is wish him well. I'll look for him, next time i go there.

Avatar
I watched Avatar. It was superb! I loved it. I liked the way the movie mirrors our own lives on earth. How we are no longer in sync with mother nature, how we abuse her, exploit the indigenous(sorry if i spelt it wrong) people of the various countries and how we are all so materialistic. All gunning for money.
Anyway, that aside, i think the special effects were awesome but i don't think i have to even say that. But i must say i am surprised. This was not the mindless blockbuster i expected it to be. It had a lot more meat under the skin. Although the plot is a bit of a cliche, i think it can be forgiven because of the rest of the great stuff.
I'm gonna watch this again!!!

Animes and Zac Efron
I think the only other anime i have enjoyed as much as this would be Full Metal Panic. Not Alchemist mind you! I read somewhere they were considering doing a live action using Zac Efron as Sousuke Sagara. Scream!!! Gasp!!! Choke!!! NO WAY!!! That would completely ruin the whole thing!!! Even the guy who acts as Jacob Black would be a much better choice. Not that i'm saying he's ideal but... Zac Efron is like the total opposite of what Sousuke Sagara is supposed to be. Sagara is like this down to earth, uncharismatic, straightforward, completely hopeless with girls tough guy with a slightly sweet personality. Everything Zac Efron is not!
Short Story
I have just finished writing a short story. I haven't come up with a title for it yet but it's about an asian girl who is an international model. But she models as a guy. Only her closest friends and her agent know that she is actually a girl. The short story is basically part of an entire story which is all up here in my head but i'm too lasy to write down the whole thing so i have only done a part. Maybe i will publish it on thi blog. As soon as i get it typed out. It's in my notebook.
