A trip to Tanjong Malim...for convocation

This Monday which was the 20th August 2007, I went to Tanjong Malim for my mom's convocation...yes my MOM....you did not read it wrongly...my mom has graduated from the Masters' programme.....I think that's what it is called....Masters in English Language Education...she's a English teacher.....the trip there was bloody boring and FYI there is nothing in Tanjong Malim...besides the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris...my mom's uni and Proton City (where Proton cars are made) there is nothing in the town....really quiet town unlike Penang with big malls and bustling with activities and people.....there it's kind of more quiet and well since it is so near to the highway...lot's of big jumbo size lorries passing by so if there is noise then tha's vehicles only........I spend a night there in one of the hotels...it's called Hotel Bunga Raya...I couldn't sleep.....it was so near the roads and the vehicles passing by were so so noisy I can't stand it....We stayed there a night and the next morning is my mom's convo....

My dad and I....(only us both...my brother couldn't make it) bought my mom a bouquet of roses with a real cute teddy bear with a graduation hat.....but it was bloody expensive, it cost RM 50 and it was only 6 roses you know....but the flowers were really beautiful...I couldn't resist...who knew flowers were so so lovely...the roses, sunflowers and lilies...gosh they were beautiful...and there's the cute teddy bears...so adorable...I even took a pic of a cute little girl wearing a graduation hat...hehe...then there's this incident...I think it was kind of ridiculous. I was going to enter the hall where my mom's convo is held and I was stopped by the person in charge of letting us the friends and families of the graduates in......it is really idiotic of her, she actually don't alloy me to get in...you know why...because she thinks my skirt was too short and in her term "impolite"...bloody ****.....my skirt was knee length...okay maybe an inch or two above knee length and that's impolite?? I dressed up for my mom's convo with a blouse and a skirt and she said I was dressed up impolitely....to hell with her.....then she allows me to go in and you know what she told me...she told me to sit next to the thick wall so that nobody can see I'm wearing the skirt...it's really funny how some people think...reallly...

My mom's graduation ceremony was so long...I didn't know that it could be that long....at least I get to see the Queen and Princess of Perak....they were really beautiful especially the princess. Overall the trip was a mind opening trip...it shown me how some people are so unreasonable and what a convacation is all about.....many relatives are there to see their sons or daughters graduate.....seeing people wearing those graduation hats make me think when I will have a chance to really wear it....I tried my mom's clothes though hehehe...it's kinda weird on me though hahaha......I took some pictures...I think I took pictures of practically everything I think is interesting...but right now I can't put the pic up

I also just realised the government really takes a lot of toll money....every stop at the toll is really costly......I wonder what they do with the money???.......then there's this construction on the highway...the workers work so slowly you know and they block partically half the road but don't do anything....it's so stupid and lazy of this people......and the government pays them for nothing....they spend days doing construction on these roads yet nothing is really completed yet....totally stupid....

Red Cherry

Two blogs in one day...I have gone crazy...it's just that I have so much to say....although I think no one reads my blog....just myself I think to relieve what I have kept in my mind....it's quite burdening to keep it all in....

Red cherry...it' a movie on the Nazi's and their invasion of Russia....these movie is all about two Chinese children sent to study in Russia....it wass really a lot of hardship to learn Russian language and well being invaded by Germans make things even worst....the movie was just slightly graphical...it was gruesome to see children being gunned down...there was one teenager who tried to save all his friends that he was being shelled with hundreds of bullet when the German soldiers caught him.....it was horrifying...then there was the teacher who was shot in front of her students for daring to defy the orders of the Germans by asking the children to go back into class and trying to save them.....it is nothing but the truth when we are at war...the people who suffer the most are children....starvation and homeless...the movie show the torture of war...a young girl...her name is ChuChu in the movie...she was caught by the Germans and almost was killed but she survived yet she was tattoed with the symbol of the Nazi's and had to suffer the most extreme humilation.....the tattoo was tattoed to her back and she was extremely humilated by it....her suffering was just too much she actually try to erased the tattoo by scrubbing her skin to a rough wall and even trying to burn her back with a smoldering stick.....that's what war does to you....humilation and suffering...she survived till 63 yet the tattoo was still on her back...doctors try to graft out the skin but the tattoo was too big and she suffered the hardship of war even after the war ended...extreme humilation....

I didn't experience war and I never want to.....but you have to learn from the past...war brings nothing but destruction....Malaysia suffered through war too before gaining her independence. Our country suffered much to gain independence yet nowadays no one appreciate the freedom we have instead they misuse it...abuse their rights as free independent people......I use to think that way too.....but watching Red Cherry and other war films and reading newspapers makes me realise how we mislittled the importance of independence....withou it, we can't do what we want, how to rule the country and how to live if we didn't gain independence.....that what's independence has given us yet we don't appreciate it....growing up I think I learn a lot has been sacrificed for independence....it's our 50th independence day and we definitely should try to help our country in any way we can...even if our country is not good enough...you know grass is always greener on the other side....that's what you always will think.....but when we crossed the other side we'll realise it's just the same....Learn to appreciate Malaysia...we have our faults yes...lots of them but we should learn from the mistakes and help correct them not crictised ourself for it...it's funny how we crictised but never look at ourself....Sometimes I do too....I may not appreciate independence like some who experience war in the the past but I understand how hard it was....I hope one day Malaysian really understand the true spirit of Merdeka....we are unique yet we don't understand the importance of unity among all races.....You don't crictised other races' belief and culture....respect and understand......Unity is power.....we should learn to respect people's culture as they respect yours......We are Malaysia...we make what Malaysia will be....the spirit of Merdeka is up to us.....learn the meaning of MERDEKA!!!!

Ugly side of Malaysians.....

I have got lots to say yet I don't really know how to express it in words suddenly.....first of all I went to see Rush Hour 3 on Friday...it sucks....the movie was funny but it seems that the joke are mostly old ordinary joke that I feel I had seen somewhere before already.....the plot was a bit stupid and the ending....people are left hanging just like that...come on who beats down an international triad group by killing one person....what about his lower members...won't they fight back too....that's my opinion only though...youmay think otherwise...

And recently I went, I guess crazy and decided to go and watch a singing competition in PISA( Penang International Stadium Arena) First, we had to go and get the free tickets sponsored by a few companies in Penang....Myself included and two friends, we went to collect the tickets and well the bloody line was so so long....that's where our Malaysian show extreme lack of patience and politeness.....everyone was so rude that day...pushing and screaming...even an elder man I saw was pushing and when a girl reprimanded him, he said that he wants to push and it was none of her business...what was that....and those elder people say we don't have respect for them...it's them who don't have respect for us, younger generation...but that day really show a bad side of us Malaysian...I can't say I didn't pushed too because I have to admit I did too...One thing is there was no organising from the organisation in charge of the giving of the tickets and the crowd was a huge turnout...unbelievable what Malaysian could do for FREE stuff and of course the chance to see your favourite star in action is just so tempting you have to go.....like me and my friends....

That was weeks ago....I know that's kind of a long time...but this was yesterday 11 August 2007...The singing competition I was talking about....it was actually the Astro Talent AQuest Competition...very famous chinese singing competition here in Malaysian to those who don't know....the prize of this competition is a lot of money and a chance to represent Malaysia in the International Singing competition. My mom went to the competition with me....we actually went to see the guest star appearance instead of the competitors there....but I have to tell you...organising was once again a total flop out disaster....what's this....this kind of thing wasn't suppose to happen in Malaysian....what happen to first class infrastructure, first class mentality??? No wonder people and even our Prime Minister says we have first class infrastruture but third class mentality....use some brains people...the line to go in the stadium to watch the competition was super long and crowded...as a matter of fact there wasn't any line...people were squeezing to get in a door which was open partially....not only they opened the door an hour before the thing start they open it partially and everyone was screaming that it was ridiculous to not let us in in a bigger entrance. Open a bigger bloody door for heaven's sake...That's true you know.....the entrance was so small....you can't blame people for screaming or scolding....I find myself getting impatient too to get in....someone broke a door just to go in the stadium and not even one of the guards notices...I mean we have the tickets and everything yet we went in through a illegally broken down door by some bunch of teenagers just to watch a show where the winner I wanted to win didn't even won and the guest stars I wanted to see was just a small figure to see from my so unstrategic steating which was inevitable as free seating are bound to be unstrategic when you came in late like that as guards don't let you come in fast enough. If it wasn't for my desire to watch my favourite stars in action live in front of my eyes, I wouldn't have to cram in with everyone there instead I would be at home watching it on television which was also live.....my mom, my friends and I was, I can say disgusted and partly horrified by Malaysian these days....the very ugly side of Malaysian....greedy, impatient, intolerant and extreme disrespectful...well not all of the Malaysian are like that of course but these small group of people is enough to ruin our reputation as so called "warm and welcoming people"....People wake up...you want Malaysia to give you what you want you do your part be more civilised.....You know the irony of it all that we have everything and we don't appreciate them and some people who needs them can't even have it.....After watching the movie Red Cherry ( a war film of the invasion of Germans into Russia) I find that we really do lack patrotism here in Malysia...the movie was a true story and children suffered through the war, poeple dying and the agony of losing your loved ones and young very brave heroines and heroes...and have our country really lost the true meaning of Merdeka????? I don't really know.....maybe we did forget how hard it was...

JULY..a weird month and 20/07/2007...A day of surprises...

Hey...it's been a freaking weird month this month of July...There was the movie Transformer which was super cool and really awesome....Friday 13...not so unusual yet a special day people deemed as a day of bad luck...Then there's Harry Potter....The Order of The Phoenix...the movie was okay...I like a few parts but didn't like a few too....But I love Luna Lovegood in the movie and the part where Fred and George threw those fireworks were bloody amazing....then something bad happen this month...the windscreen on my car was shatterd to pieces when some idiot from my flats threw something down on my car....Then today it happen again....the car got busted once again...luckily it's not the windscreen...this time it was the car battery...the accumulator...no battery so the car couldn't start...I was shocked at first when it couldn't start....then I realise that it has ran out of battery....this car has caused nothing but trouble this month....Real unlucky these days...Now for the CLIMAX of the month of July...I have CUT my hair.....I repeat CUT it...really really short....I never cut my hair so short ever in my whole life (my whole 18 and plus plus years of living in this planet...) It was real short (at least I think it is)...I didn't really want to cut it this short actually but I guess I didn't really explain to the hairdresser how I wanted it and she gotten creative and cut it much shorter than I preferred.....a few good inches shorter than I wanted but still I think it look okay.....I like the front bangs but not really fond of the back.....at least I can't see it so I won't think to much of it....My hair grows fast so I wouldn't have to worry much about it....I am taking it as a new experience.....I finally have short hair for once...hahaha....I'm trying to be positive during the haircut...I was freaking out actually.....There was once I have cut it short but it was longer than this and that last time I cut it that length...which was when I was a kid around 6 or 7 years old, I actually yelled at the hairdresser and threw a slipper at her for cutting it that short without even saying a thing....Luckily I managed to be civilised this time....hehe...But it was actually not as bad as I think it is....so okaylah...not what I wanted but not as bad as it seems....Tomorrow's there's Bon Odori...which is a Japanese festival celebrating....I actually don't know what's it about...I think it's about celebrating the coming of spring or summer...I guess only...it might be wrong...There's a world musical festival in Botanical garden's tomorrow too....I think that will be really cool....sadly I'm not going to that...might be going to Bon Odori though...see first...did you see the double 2007 on the date...really nice huh just like 7/7/7 pretty special...I've make this day memorable by cutting my hair short...hahaha... Oh ya forgot to tell you...remember me mentioning about MUET? I have only gotten a Band 5.....it was close to Band 6......okay 15 more marks...pretty far......should have gotten that Band 6 if I haven't screwed up in my speaking test and botched up an essay in the writing paper....I know I could get a Band 6 if I try again but the next MUET is really near my STPM so I'm not taking the risk...have to be satisfied with a Band 5...not bad already....most of the students in my school also scored a Band 5 and I know some are better in English than I am....so I consider myself not too bad...( to those who don't know...there's no Band 7....Band 6 is the highest you can get from Band 1,2,3,4,5, and 6)Okay that's all....sayonara...



My brand new short hair look

070707....7 July 2007

What's so special about seven??? Lucky number seven anyone ??? This year on this very day...number seven is simply special because it's a day most the citizen of the world pledge to save Earth. To combat the climate change and fight global warming...The Earth concerts...I'm watching one right now.....seven continents....(seven again you say...seven appears everywhere) more than a hundred of concerts are being held to create awareness of saving Earth....we definitely need to SAVE Earth...all of us, I dare to say are partly helping to destroy Earth...me included. The 3R's...reduce,reuse and recycle....not only we need to do that we need to do more....Stop polluting Earth by carpooling or wasting electricity and water...Learn to help stop pollution....Then, back to the number seven...Seven...David Beckham has the number 7 when he was in Manchester United...The seven wonders of the world...why not eight or six...that's just one of the significance of the number seven....to me, today's just an ordinary day yet it seems so extraordinary simply because we all are so awed by the number 7. There's the 7-11 stores or 7 days of the week or 7-up and even the seven colours of the rainbow....seven just happen to appear in our daily lives..... and I was going to make this day a bit memorable by cutting my hair short which I never have before....I always have long hair and been trying to build my courage to cut it short for a change.....but sadly the hairsalon was booked for the day and I didn't get to cut it... Well, another day then....then, I was thinking of all the Live Earth concerts and wondering if all this concert would create more pollution to Earth?? I mean, if you go for these kind of concert, you'll see people actually throwing rubbish and empty bottles on the floor of these stadiums and all...so doesn't this cause more pollution?? Yeah, this is a huge campaign to create awareness to stop pollution and combat global warming....but in doing promotion like this don't we just create a little more problems....That's just my opinion...I don't know how things are really going in these concerts...maybe they aren't like what I am thinking about....Well, I still like the number 7.7.07....it seems so special right...it just feels so nice...hahaha....I'm crazy.....but these concerts are really nice actually...I guess it makes us feel really together and united in these kinds of concert...just imagine evryone in this world...millions of viewers are watching and enjoying these concerts.....Go earth...Save Earth...we only have one Earth you know...

200 pounds beauty......

No...I don't weigh 200 pounds...at least I don't think so...I know how I weighed in kilograms but I never converted it to pounds before... The reason I am talking about pounds is actually just commenting on a movie I recently seen. It is a Korean movie called "200 pounds". The movie was great...I never really like watching Korean movies...not that they are bad, it's just that I didn't find myself attracted to watching them...but recently it seems the Korean waves that has landed all over Asia this past few years has finally made me a fan...the movie was brilliant...besides Princess Hour, the Korean drama series that I have watch, this movie is the best I have ever seen of Korea...the movie is about a lip-syncing vocalist Han-Na who is fat and ugly who turns to plastic surgery to pursue her dreams of a career and love....the movie brought me to tears.....very few movies can ever make me do that...the theme of the story was so simple yet so complex....is beauty skin deep and does love truly conquers it all ? I find myself really into the movie simply because the acors portray the characters really well and they were amazing...don't let the posters decieve you, the actor Joo Jin-mo is actually quite handsome in the movie and Kim Ah-joong is really beautiful in skin deep sense after she remove those layers of fat(I don't know about deep inside...hehe)....some of the scenes were funny, some really touching...and the songs in the movie...WOW, is the only word for them....the songs are really nice.....definetely a must watch movie for everyone...even if you don't understand Korean, just read the subtitles. I did just that...hahaha...
