A Tree Hugger with Dimples

I am going to be so super busy for the next 2 weeks.

Tests, presentations, projects and classes and I am 2 weeks away from my study week.

Next week USM is going to have German Week which will be really exciting! There will be German companies and universities coming and Volkswagen too! German Learners (ppl like me who is taking German lessons) have to help out during German week. So yups, my next week is gonna be extremely packed.

So if you guys wanna be updated with me, follow my Twitter la. I don’t think I can find the time to update my blog anytime soon.

To everyone who is busy, as busy as me or even busier, GOOD LUCK!

See you guys soon!

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working non-stop.

For the past 1 week, I felt so tired – mentally and physically.

I knew I needed to get away for awhile.

So here I am, in Borders sitting in Starbucks. Enjoying the music and quiet atmosphere.

#1. View from the window.

#2. My table

The ironic thing is, I said I wanan get away but I brought my laptop along. So my alone time, is not very lonely hahaha cause I am now chatting with so many people online. x)

But I am glad I decided to come here today.

Oh! I am blogging about my holiday now! I realise that I have missed out too many entries. So, in the next few days, I am going to slowly tell you guys about my holidays, one post at a time Enjoy!

In case you were wondering if I am dead or alive.

I am still alive. With a new pair of specs. =)

I have a secret. One I am not ready to share with anyone. Not yet.

I still need time to know if this is what I think it is. I still need time to be sure.

There is a possiblity that this secret will never be revealed. We’ll see.

I am still asking myself, “Why now?”

Went to Port Dickson with extended family (half the group) on Monday and Tuesday!

Got sunburnt but I love it!

Gonna go out soon to pick Jitsan (remember her? My roommate from my first year). She’s staying over in Subang before both of us go back to Penang!

I am excited! Gonna end this holiday with fun!

I am such a bad blogger.

I have not been updating.

I promised photos from MIRACLE Youth Conference but they are not up yet. In fact, I have not even finished filtering the photos. =(

I have been busy and pretty occupied.

After MYC, I went of to UKM for another conference – NATCON (Like I mentioned before) From that conference alone, I have 14GB of pictures and videos to sort through 0_O

A few days after I was back from NATCON, I had deadlines to meet. Planning for AIESEC in USM’s next term! [I am excited!]

This week, on Tuesday I flew to Singapore with LittleSis Loi cause BigSis Loi invited us =)

From Singapore alone, I have around 700 photos to sort through.

I just got back from Singapore late last night (like midnight) and stayed up till 3am checking through e-mails and Facebook (ok I am OCD when it comes to checking my inbox and I’m a FB addict).

Then this morning, someone woke me up and in 30 minutes I was out of the house.

Just got back an hour ago, and I am going out again in 20 minutes.

Yes, my parents are going to murder me soon. Right now they can’t cause I am barely home.

Phew.

Right, time to get ready for my yumcha session.

Will update like, reeeeeally sooooon I promise!

This is shocking and amusing at the same time. Whether or not it’s real (though I don’t see how it can be fake or staged) it sure amuses me.

You have to watch this.

Obviously I do not support such act because it is just immature and childish but that does not stop me from being amused by these people’s behavior.

I wonder where this billboard is. My dad suspects it’s one of the billboards along the federal highway.

Hello everyone!

I’m home for a few days. Till Saturday actually.

Aah, it feels good to be back.

When they say ‘There’s no place like home”, they really do mean there is no place like home.

=)

*This is a scheduled post. By now, I should be in bed sleeping like a log/pig/dead person/insert suitable noun.

It’s 10 pm right now.

For the past 33 hours I have only managed to get 2 hours of sleep. I really need sleep but if I do I will not be awake to wish someone special a Happy 21st Birthday!

So to my dear Heng,

I am sorry I will not be awake to wish you happy birthday the minute it ticks into midnight. So, this post is to make up for it =) All I wanna say is…

…please don’t stop being you.

Or else you bet I will be the first one to smack you real hard on the head.

Happy 21st Birthday!

Talentime is scheduled to be released in cinemas on the 26th March.

I got to watch it a month earlier

My review?

Beautiful.

You have to watch this movie.

It’s by Yasmin Ahmad, and she never fails to awe me with her amazing movies.

Talentime is so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. It’s just so… so… realistic. It touched my heart in so many ways and the stories that revolves around the characters are so simple and easy to relate to. The emotions were so intense. I don’t know how to describe it. It is just so honest.

I think this is one of Yasmin Ahmad’s best work yet.

“So long, fare thee well
The dancer and the dancing days have taken leave and fell
So turn down this bed of stone
Quench me with the deadly nightshade from the rose that you belong
The long December rain is falling now
Running down on streets to nowhere
Music is my life – you’re my sweetest nightingale
But I can’t hear it here no more
And I go…
Hush now, don’t shake or break
Words have fallen silent like soldiers to the grave
No matter what they do or say
Lay me on the sleepy meadows by the tracks upon your face”

The poetry and music in the movie were beautiful too. I can’t wait to watch it again.
