I attended 2 Forums about the Multimedia & Gaming industry in Malaysia instead of going for classes because the lecturers told us to attend.
- Forum One : The Electronic Games Industry: A Malaysian Story
- Forum Two : Multimedia Content in Malaysia: Visions for the Future

The first one was interesting, particularly the clips on Fung Wan online which they translated to BM = “Pedawan Sakti” - and even gave the CD for it. But the 2nd one was fantastic because they also showed clips of work that Malaysian graphic/multimedia designers/animators did for the international market like Nikelodean and movies.

Its a good monday - had no classes, a few ppl puji that i look nice (i redyed my hair), someone belanja me minum ice-blended and i feel great I hope its going to be a great week

Its been ages since I’ve been online. Been busy going to uni early mornings (8 am bus) for choir pratices and coming back by the 6pm bus. Meaning im out of the house by 7.30 am and back home around 8 pm - EVERYDAY

The new yahoo messenger (version 7) came out a few days ago and i didnt even know about it. Joe decided to stop publishing his posts and I just found out. Delinn’s bday just passed and I can only wish her “HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!”. I log into my old chat room and no one even remembered me. I feel so out of touch.

But actually, life without the internet isnt as bad as i expected. Apparently im not a hard-core addict like I thought I was. I did a lot of reading. Re-read Angels & Demons and also the Illustrated version of Da Vinci Code. Read Princess, Desert Royal & Daughters of Arabia by jean sasson (i think). Also read The Interior by Lisa See. I need to get new books.

I had a lot of fun last week. The PM came to our uni on Thursday so we were busy practising for Choir singing 3 songs. Then when the big day came, we got our makeup and hair done at Headlines - LKW’s Hair Design Academy - for free. The downside was that we had to wait for so long before actually singing. So we were all dead tired by the end of it. Good thing uni was closed the next day coz of the haze.

Pictures are available here. I look a bit weird with my hair done up and makeup. My classmate did a double take when he saw me..ahaha!!

The saying “good things come in small packages” doesnt always apply for every situation. In some cases, bigger is better…..don’t you agree?

Anyway, i had the good laugh the other day when peeking at some plastic bags my mom left on the table. I saw an enormous long thing and asked, what is that?!?

Its almost three times bigger than a McD Apple Pie

Classes have started today far far away in Cyberjaya (bout 40 mins + 20 mins for jam). So I can go online and start blogging again. Yay! I miss my blog and all my blogging frens *huggles* and I was rotting out of boredom at home. During the holidays it was fun skodenging anak makcik and melepakkan diri @ Mont Kiara ngan poke, jin, max, pand dll yg terlibat (eh..they’re all guys)

I followed Erin and joined the LKW choir and made friends with some freshies. I even met a former uni mate from indonesia. We’re performing for some Merdeka Day Celebration. There are 3 songs, KeranaMu, a song dedicated to our Prime Minister, and another song. My next practice is on Wed morning, 9 am.

It’s the first day of my new semester in degree and so far I’ve had 2 classes. One of my lecturer is actually a Mirian like me. I have 5 subjects so on most days I start at 10 am and finish around 4 pm. This week lots of my classes are cancelled coz it’s the introductory week. There are tons of freshies in Uni, sometimes stopping me to ask where are certain classes or places. Hehe! Half of my class are new students, the rest did their foundation in LKW earlier. In my class of 30 students, only 3 are girls. Looks like this will be an interesting semester. Sadly I don’t have any lab or programming classes but its ok

I had an interesting time yesterday nite. A friend of mine came down from Kelantan and we went meronggeng-ing. Walked from Bkt Bintang to Bangkok Jazz-not to mention we got lost too. And it was raining cats and dogs so we got so wet and it was cold. Brr…that’s the last time I’m going to walk around in the pouring rain smack in the middle of KL. It was fun tho - walking in the rain I mean. Bangkok Jazz is a nice quiet place with the DJ playing soothing jazz songs, especially my favourite - Sway by Michael Bublè. My friend actually knows the DJ so we could request what songs we liked.

Well we were hoping for a quiet nite just to drink but there was this bunch of hinese guys at the next table who kept ‘yam seng’-ing so it was kinda noisy but still nice. Had 2-3 jugs of tiger between 3 of us. My fren kept insisting I should drink a “girlie drink” because beer is for MEN. So I had a kahlua+milk
(yummy and sweet) and vodka+ribena (not nice…tasted funny). Actually i was asking for absolute vodka kurant (which is berry infused vodka - very sweet smelling) but the lady got it wrong i guess. Oh well.

After that, we got sick of all that jazz and went to 7E and got more drinks - 4 tins each. My friend was pretty impressed by then. It was the first time we went drinking together. After we tipsy tipsy owedi, we went to sleep. I keep waking up in the middle of the night so I was pretty tired. Then at 11.30 am, we woke up, then went to have lunch. I had Garlic naan and tandoori chicken somewhere opposite Lowyat.

After that i went to KJ LRT station then went to Ikano by taxi. The taxi driver didnt kno where it was..so I had to show the way. Then he got a call on his hp and I heard him speak Sabah malay. So that explains why he doesnt kno the roads. So i asked him if he was from Sabah. Then I pasang my Sabah Malay and explained that I stayed in Sabah for 7 yrs before but Im Sarawakian. Then he said he was from Sepilok but his family is staying in Putatan. After that he gave me a discount on my taxi fare…less than a dollar difference but every cent is money la.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh yea, I checked my results and found out that I credited all my subjects. 1A, 2Bs and 2Cs. The Cs are business subjects, the A is Webtech. My parents are pleased. Yay! So next is my first year degree

Im now going back home (im in Ikano for almost 3 hours already) and take a MUCH NEEDED REST. My eyes are red from lack of sleep and I feel a bit dehydrated and pening coz Im tired. Ciou!

Often times I find that there is way too much things on my mind, that they are struggling to get out. Sometimes when I talk, I have so much to say that it words tumble out in no particular order (Im very quiet at certain times tho - total extremities). I have never been someone who thinks before she talks, everything is straight from the heart and out the mouth. There are times when Iregret what I say but there is no way to take it back.

Which is why I prefer writing, because you always have time to proofread, correct and edit. Perhaps its in my blood to be creative. I hv cousins who are artists, musicians and/or singers and anyone who’s met my dad would say he is a born entertainer/comedian. LOL! In fact, I found out recently that my uncle is a local writer who sometimes writes under the pseudonym “Midnight Magician” (oneof his books was used in for STPM english literature - not sure about now tho).

I started writing poems when I was 16, I think it was about friendship but unfortunately I never kept a copy. Since then I have been scribbling on bits of paper - receipts, textbooks, I even remember writing a poem during my English PMR exam in school (after I finished answering the paper in less than an hr). Hehe! I notice however, that most of the poems in my poem blog (http://poemdance.blogspot.com) seem rather depressing and yearning for a way to escape. That’s because some of them are written at the worst times of my life - when i was depressed or hurt badly.

I havent really been in a writing mood the past few months but now im starting to read and write more then i did before (without the Internet, i have to find other distractions to fill my mind. Lol! I’ll try to upload most of mynew poems here and in the Poem Dance blog
