a gooood morning to you too~

Location: Library.

Today's one of those days... the kinda days where you wake up on the right side of the bed, can't really remember what my dreams were but I'm sure it involves kissing brad pitt or something REALLLY sweet...

the sky's not too sunny nor is it raining... in other words, perfect for me to walk to uni from my condo...

the lights automatically turned red for cars to stop (duH!) and I reached the junction just in time to cross it...

I went to the toilet and there's this guy holding the door open for me near the water dispenser... (he's actually pretty cute too... AND it would be UBER embarassing if he's standing behind me reading this...)

YET...

being an optimistic pessimist... I keep feeling, some lingering feeling under my skin that something... just SOMETHING is gona go terribly wrong today.

hmm...

Or maybe, it's just since I discovered concealer that people see me in a totally different light?

Or did I lose some weight? (I'd Wish!)

anyways... there's something... just that something's gona be wrong, go wrong today...

it's like one of those Stephen King's novel...

The calm before storm..
the quiet and harmonious suburb where only goood things happen....until this thing happened.

The Golden Compass

Location: The Towers

I don't know why... the part where Nicole Kidman told the gal about the 'little snip' to separate the demons from the kids reminded me of circumcisions. Especially when she said something about "while the kids are still young and innocent..." and "it is to rid of unhappy and dirty thoughts in the future"... like... WHOa.....

Are there any deeper meaning hidden inside the film?

p/s: The movie's full or Brunettes. Soooooo Jewish.

Facts of Life - if everything fails, fix your teeth.

Location: some computer lab in level 4.


Here's something that caught my eye when I was slacking about.

Ok, so it's no surprise that beautiful people live a cozier life, they get by in the fast lane, even the plain water taste sweeter in their lives....

ANYWAYS, here's something for you to sleep on. Do people with nice teeth earn MORE?


The Economics of Teeth, and Other Beauty Premiums

.... Just over a decade ago Dr. Hamermesh presided over a series of surveys in the United States and Canada which showed that when all other things are taken into account, ugly people earn less than average incomes, while beautiful people earn more than the average. The ugliness “penalty” for men was -9 percent while the beauty premium was +5 percent. For women, perhaps surprisingly considering popular prejudices about the sexes, the effect was less: the ugliness penalty was -6 percent while the beauty premium was +4 percent.


Yea, scroll down to read the end of the link for the punch line..

it reminded me about the email that Sze Vien sent me that day... regarding a guy from Singapore who's name is Batman. If it's not bad enough, his dad's name is Suparman.

Come to think of it, having a Pitt, or Trump, or Bush as a last name's gona have its perks~

*Updated

On a totally unrelated note, this headline made me cracked up in this very very very quiet computer lab. Yup, those are the stares, the judgmental stares from young adolescence who had barely reached puberty.

VERY MATURE DUDES...

anyhooo...*composure*

Curriculum Designed to Unite Art and Science

By NATALIE ANGIER

The battle between the sciences and the humanities has been going on for so long, its early participants are already dead.

I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm an art student or the fact that it's so blunt and true at the same time... It's Farny.

Vibram FiveFingers

Location: The Towers

ok, the pressure SHOULD be on by now.. the first PRL.. useless PRL's in 9 days. but seriously, I still don't feel the fire burning my fingers.


anyways, I know this is not news, it's still NEWs to me (complicated newsroom theory thingy) --forgive me, for I'm living in a developing country =P

Apparently. there's this thing about the way you walk that will affect the stress level of your body. And the best way to walk, suggested by an article in nymag... is...

WAIT FOR IT...

BAREfoot!


Introducing VIBRAM FIVEFINGERS~


People would go to LENGTHS, to sell some OLD concepts as NEW products to the public.

This may not be the craziest creation ever, however, the crazy part is, it was named
one of TIME's Best Inventions in 2007.

I could've sworn that they just painted that on the feet.
Maybe this is what our next generation 'wears'.

AND the NAME... they made it sound like something left behind by the predators (from AVP).

That, or the inventor's a hardcore Trekkie.



*editor's note: AVP2 is the best among the AVPs.

Imagine yourself running 500 miles in this thing (hehe, the proclaimers~ I would do anything just to quote it, somewhere, somehow), your toes would swell and the shoes wouldn't come off...

Come to think of it, is it really that good to go hiking in these babies?


Do you wanna feel every worn out nail, dry twigs cracking and all the creepy crawlies under your extremely thin sole?

Melody

Location: The Towers.

If i haven't already blogged about my Jrn 1902 tutor, Melody. She's one of the role models that I really look up to... although I'm constantly forced (by myself) to miss her classes...

anyways, she has a really adorable way of putting things. Maybe it's her creativity and ability to work really hard, she's an honours student in Monash now.

here's one of the emails she send us, almost every fortnight.


Hello all,

Thanks for your participation and attendence in class today.

I thank the person who so kindly left their laptop in class for their thoughtful gift, but I must decline as my integrity as a marker could be compromised by your 'gift'.

I really did love how creatively you decorated the laptop though, and appreciate it very much :)

Please come and claim it from me before 5pm today, or from 8am-1pm tomorrow before I sell it on ebay.

Cheers,
Melody


yup, that's how cute she is.

Life in Mon.

Location: Comp Lab 9 (lvl 5, building 9)

Seriously, I really feel like a fugitive in Monash.

Since Julian's class is canceled (coz he fell ill.. poor thing) I had to find a computer to sit my ass down to start on my transcript for Jrn assignment.

from level 1, i marched up the stairs (coz the elevator was really congested... I didn't know there were THAT many people who's trying to get into building 9 at 3 int he afternoon... I even start to doubt if building 9 alone can accommodate that many students.)

... level 2

(mind you, this is the 2nd time today, alone that I climbed up the stairs, the first time was to get to Andrew's class at 1-3pm.)

... level 3...

...level 4. finally.

I begun my search for a computer without some bags or books or young hopefuls hovering all over it.

It's looking for a parking in Taipan at 4-6 pm. There are even queues out of the computer lab. So wasn't expected to see this kinda crowd in Monash.

Building 9 used to be the sanction for Nic, Yen and I when the library's packed with people. It's really crazy I tell you, especially today' not even Monday!!

Anyways, I toured all the computer labs in level 4 and 5 and LUCKY for me, I found a room where the people were supposed to have classes but the lecturer were late, or something. I don't really care anyway.

After sitting there for merely 1 hour, SHE came.

I'm forced to evacuate the place.. she sounded like a tight-ass bitch.

Not planning to prove my theory, I left in a jiffy. then I came to level 5 again... walked around to look for a empty parking space.. wait, I meant vacancy... (hehe, reminded me of the toilet. don't know why...).

... and after some searching and a lot of walking, finally an almost empty room.

yes, I can almost hear the heavenly bells chiming and angels' singing when I claimed my empty seat.


LIKE... SERIOUSLY!! Monash is really short of PC during peak hours. they should have some emergency computer lab for people during these times...

--- * --- * --- *--- * --- * --- *--- * ---

Anyways, here are some memorable quotes of the day.

"If I cannot read your handwriting, who's funeral is that?" (Andrew, 2008)

Why was bathroom a taboo when Psycho was released?

because "bathroom was considered sacred in the Constitution of US" (Andrew, 2008)



Alvin: "Should we bring our own papers to the exam hall?"
..."Should we write on alternate lines during the exam?"

The whole class: "..." -burst out laughing-

Andrew: "AHHHH... ALVIN! should I just kill myself now?"



(sometime in the class)

Jason: "Hitchcock's an asshole".



Which, I totally agree...

A Talk.

Location: Computer Lab 11 (lvl 5, building 9)

the Lead:
It's 3 pm. With 3 condoms in my pocket, I walked casually out of Plenary Theatre in Monash, feeling like a new person, a different person emerging through the heavy glass doors of the theatre. My life's perspective has altered in that short 2 hours' talk.


(the full story will be coming up soon~
after I finish my JRN assignment... sigh...)
So folks, stay tuned!

Billings 140

Location: Living Room, at home.

WooooHoooo~~ I just feel the need to post this...



Billings - 140~ hit 2 triple word tiles~ buahahhahahaha!!

okok, I know that it's not big for you ppl in the big leagues, it's a big deal for me ok?! ishh...

Skins, Season 1 & 2

Location: Bro's Room.


I just finished watching Skins Season 1 and Season 2... and bOy, was it an emotional journey.

All I can say is, kids these days are really not as simple/innocent compared to the people back in the days.

the critics said something about skins being a teenage drama, not meant for teenagers.

It's totally out of this world, i might say.

Why is it so intriguing?

the kononnya, most beautiful gal in Bristol.

Other than my obsessive behavior on all the wrong matters (ie: obsession on films, but not interested in the technical side of anything...) I find that the kids in this series are totally gorgeous... The only conventional beauty's Effy, and that's only skin deep. Meaning, she looked conventional but does not actually act normal... wait... I don't even know what I'm typing...

Cassie.. the aneroxic one

I think secretly, everyone wanna take drugs, have random sex and most of all, have a buncha friends doing the same things you do, SO you don't feel weird, like an outsider.

*sigh* my life's so boring... the worst thing is that, the actors/actresses are actually around my age and LOOOK how they blossomed. Ishh...

anyways, i do really hope that there's a season 3 for Skins, though it doesn't seem like it's even foreseeable in the future...

Maxxie, the cute one...
-- see, cute guys are either gay or married --
in the context of the series ofcoz

p/s: the cutest guy is Maxxie and the hottest gal would be Effy... well, that's my opinion. and....

I STILL COULDN'T GET OVER
THE FACT THAT CHRIS DIED!!!
WTF!!!

*edited*

I got this really hot promo of Skins Season 2... It's so beautifully done! Though it might give people the wrong idea what Skins is all about. The giant orgy did NOT happen in the series ya... anyhoo, I couldn't help but laughed a little when I saw Anwar getting laid.

Compared to the promo for Season 1...

The movie's great... with the soundtrack. I couldn't say the same having them separated.

*EDITED AGAIN!!*

Apparently, Maxxie's gona be on Gossip Girl!!! woooohOooooo!!!

The Story of 2 Durians.

Location: Bro's Room..

A: Boss, sudah tutup kedai?
B: dah tutup la... mengapa lewat sangat?

A: so tak boleh jual lagi? mungkin satu, dua b'leh jual?
B: ... (pretend to climb into the back of the van...)

A: mahal sikit pun tak apa.. anak nak makan...
B: nah, ada dua lagi.


for a long time he mumbled something to his guys, tapped a couple of times on the calculator... looked at another colleague of his...

A: so boss, berapa?
B: RM19.

Mon monologue --> *WTH?* so fucking expensive ler wei...

A: RM18 la. kurang sikit la...
B: ok.



so, dad and I ended up with 2 over-priced durians, just because I said that I wanna eat durian.

felt so guilty... that's how dad shows that he loves me...

p/s: mommy's on the road to recovery~ the analysis of the fibroid was benign. hurray~

sad to say... I do feel tat little roller coaster rush, with adrenaline gushing into my system and feel all giddy in front of the steering wheel.... SO COOL...!!! Thanks so so much to Hafizzz... after being tortured by Soek Ying & I, he had to endure my ultimately GOOOOOOOOD driving skill.
