Exams....

It's 12a.m. and here I am online writing this blog. It seems to me for this past one month I have been staying up pretty late at night till around 3 something in the morning. Then I end up waking up late at 11a.m. which all my friends just shake their heads. Sometimes to online and surf the internet and sometimes to study. Why you ask, I have to stay up at night to study. It's because of the weather here. In the afternoon I can't focus as it gets quite humid here. So I end up taking naps or playing computer games. So I study at night. Nights here are way suitable for studying. No noise except for the getting quite frequent singing from the opposite block. It's like 2a.m. in the morning and he still singing. I think the guy must be having insomnia or something. It's a pretty nice temperature to study at night in the living room and best of all no one to bother me study.

Have gone through 3 very tough papers. I have very few papers this year and some people are saying we are lucky. By the way, we even have a week break between exams. This totally ruined my mood to study. I end up playing for a few days before actually getting serious on studying. The 1st and 2nd papers were disasters. The 2nd one especially. Electrical Technology EET 103....this paper is tough to me...I thought I have already read and know how to answer the question but when I gotten inside, I was so nervous I forgot a lot of what I should do. I'm still trying to get over it. Maths..EQT 101 was as usual to me...after all my maths has always been on the passable side only....I can just predict the results...

The 3rd paper was much better....Strength of Material EBT103...the lecturers gave a few hints and tips...and guess what? the tips were exactly the questions in the paper. I can't believe my eyes when I saw it. Still, I wasn't really pro in the tip questions so I can do about 3.5 out of the 5 question I guess. So I guess should at least have a B????

My last paper...soon to come is my German Language paper. EUW118...I'm scared....my German is not good and I have only 2 days to read unlike the 1st few papers. I still don't know the grammar and there are essay writing in the exam. What to do??? It will be such a waste to not get an A for this paper as the lecturer was really nice and helpful. I cross my fingers for the paper to be easy to me.....

I miss Penang...my home... I miss my family and friends...most of my friends have gone home even the ones in UniMap...another 1 is going back tomorrow..there will be only me left for another day. Luckily I still have my roommate who will only finish her exams a day after me which is the final day 22nd Nov. Then she will come visit me in Penang before going back to Sarawak....I have already pack my stuff...and I almost forget to take down my TVXQ poster. The hostel must be clean and with no belongings being left in the apartment. So still have spring cleaning to do on the hostel and stuff I haven't finish packing....

2 days more...kambateh to me...I can do it...

The So-Called Movie Marathon

Last week, on Monday 27 October 2008.....Deepavali, I didn't go to any Indian friend's house to celebrate. Instead I went for a movie marathon. It wasn't exactly a movie marathon more like a half marathon considering we only went for two movies. Since it is a holiday, tickets are a bit more expensive than usual and there are people everywhere. Queensbay Mall for one, is packed like a can of sardins. We were hungry when we reached there and there's too much people everywhere. We were searching for options besides having to eat McD (although I don't mind eating McD.....living in Perlis can do that to you as there's no McD in Perlis) After eating, High School Musical 3....Troy Bolton....Gabriella Montez....and after that Butterfly Lovers starring Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) and Wu Chun. Here comes my review....

High School Musical 3 was high energy fun and excitement....a perfect ending for what has been and still is a big phenomenal success of Disney movies. HSM3 lives up to its expectations and although it wasn't as good as the 1st movie, it was nevertheless exciting, nice and sweet. Songs like Can I Have This Dance, A Night To Rememer, The Boys Are Back, High School Musical and etc...were really upbeat and makes you want to sing along. The choreography was really great and I feel like dancing along to the music. More places to sing and dance along for example the junkyard and the rooftop. Exciting dance numbers and great slow ballad. A must-watch for fans of High School Musical....The Spring Musical is finally shown in this movie even if it's not shown fully....new cast of students.....prom....graduation....the dilemma of Troy having to separate with Gabriella and choosing the right college for himself. Sharpay with her antics. Haiz...the teens are finally growing up....they look so different from the 1st movie....Chad is way more thin in the 1st now he's chubby and muscular. Troy, much more muscular still thin and still very idolisticly handsome (whatever that means??). Gabriella didn't change a bit..maybe just the hairstyle and the rest of them just grown up...makes me feel old. One thing about this film was focusing mostly on Troy, Gabriella and Sharpay...yes they are the lead in the movie but I wish they shown us more of Ryan, Chad or Kelsi...but well a movie an hour or more long can't possibly fit so much. East High ROCKS!!!!

Ratings: HSM1>HSM3>HSM2....watch all and compare...

"Life is fleeting as the butterfly, beautiful yet transient. As legends has it, a pair of butterfly lovers reappears once more after having gone through three lifetimes of repeated pain and tears. "

Butterfly Lovers.....there has been a lot of versions of the Butterfly Lovers. This version I have to say wasn't the best one I seen but I can't say I didn't like it. Although BL is supposed to be some sort of a sad romantic story, I was somehow not really in the sad mood. I practically laugh my way throughout the movie due to a certain friend making jokes together with me. I can't help it especially when (I really have to say this although I kinda like him) Wu Chun is on screen. The way he acts was funny. The girl who sat to my left (who I don't know) cried I think half of the film while me and Hui Ping (yes, this is the certain friend mentioned above) were giggling away. Somehow I think if my emotions were mellowed down that day I would have balled out my eyes too. I did finally cried in the end when Wu Chun was playing dead. See, when he was alive in the film I didn't even shed a tear....it was until he died and there was only Ah Sa did I cry. LOL, I have to say his acting in the film was bad. If you are fans like I am, then I don't think you will actually mind that much as the story wasn't exactly bad...it was just differrent. I have always been interested with the story of the butterfly lovers. The idea of star-crossed lovers isreally kind of sad. This story wasn't exactly an unhappy ending as the BL were actually immortal send to earth to be punished to never have happiness together. This lifetime was their last lifetime on Earth and they are finally free to love each other again for eternity. So they were reunited after death. It gives those romantic at heart a heartful sigHHH....
