And we're headed for the end of the beginning.

It just dawned on me that after this miserable week of lousy assignments *because they're all in BM* it will be the end of our first Degree year! As in I can say that...

EYE AM IN MY SECOND YEAR.

In a way I'm glad that I've kept this blog. It shows how much I've changed since I was 18 pfft....
There have been no mushy posts...till now...much to my mother's relief I'm sure.

I don't know if that change can be called growing up... but I definitely feel like I have.

A while back, my father asked me what I was good at.

Have you been asked by your father , " actually, what are you good at?"

at first i was a bit hurt and annoyed

And I still think there is a MUCH better way of phrasing that question.

However, I realized that I rock at a lot of things! and then it didn't hurt so much anymore.

You see,  everyone has their own bit of awesomeness tucked away inside them and once you find it, let it show.

Which is why, my coming new year's resolutions are to stand up for everything I believe in and for what is right, not to be swayed by other people's thoughts, and to let my bit of awesomeness show!

TEE HEE

If this is the final post of the year then

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Campus Comedy: Malaysian Students

It's amazing how just one sentence can generate such a HUGE reaction. NO kidding. 

at the door....

The Classroom Clowns

Recently, much to my surprise, I discovered my friends Arifuddin and Ray were grouping everybody into categories according to "levels of humour"

The nerve!

the other day I made a joke...

we were put into the LAMPI category....LAMbat PIckup

Both these monkeys are quite funny ......and they know it.....and they are proud of it...pffft

Ray is good at Lawak Bodohs...and Arifuddin Lawak Aksi Lebih..

some of the things they say, i tell you...

arifuddin 

ray's looking at the camera

and the annoying thing is they think none of the girls are funny.

but then again girls have a different brand of humour. For example Emily and I can be laughing about something till our sides ache, and no matter how many times we explain, the boys won't get it....sophisticated jokes? I'd like to think so...

Anyway it sort of reminded me of my cousin Pat and I when we were 15 and had no life...and tried to compete on who was funnier...we would count marks and write them in a book for goodness sake! we had comic drawing competitions and asked our friends to judge...i'll dig them out and post when i get the time....but erghh looking back now...none of those comics were funny!!! NONE..

Now, whenever we make a good joke, the compliment will usually be "one point" in memory of that stupid game....LOL...

Maybe you're wondering where I'm going with this....I am wondering the same thing....
Please understand that I was in the midst of completing an essay and needed a break

In Time

Rating: 7/10 (on thought provoking-ness)

HAHA factor: 2/10 (mostly AT the movie)

Predictability: 9/10

ACTING: 5/10 (nyehh)

Funny, how I came about watching this movie. You see the original plan was to watch the oh-so-awesome, raved about, REAL STEEL. But we weren’t in time to catch that, so we settled for this.

No spoilers I promise.

If you want a brief summary, think about a world where money was out of the equation and time was THE currency of life.

You age until 25 and then stop. After that, you are given a year to your life. You work, you earn more time. 

You waste time, your loss.

There are poverty stricken time zones (the ghettos) and the filthy rich time zones (Greenwich). It is an unfair world, the rich get richer the poor...die...

...much like today.

Hero: Justin Timberlake

Love interest/ Partner in Crime: Amanda Sdgfriegds

Mission: Save the economy

success: unknown...(no spoiler)

Anyway, Justin Timberlake and Amanda SifadterfuGFYD do make a cute couple. But that’s it. I predicted the lines on two occasions. Plus, I hated her hair in the movie. I hope she will not forever be “the dumb one” from Mean Girls for me.

The idea is a bit out there, but I applaud its trying to make us think outside what we believe possible.

But since Lord of The Rings, only the epic is meant for the big screen.

You’re not missing much if you catch it on DVD.

  

Dear fair-weather Friend

It’s been a while since we’ve laughed, just laughed,

I never shared my troubles with you, 

Just the laughter. 

So now sue me

For trying to pick up where we left off

Equipped only with sunshine

Careful to leave out any storm clouds

Because after all

You are my fair-weather friend

You can’t handle the bad weather, friend

Unable, incapable of ...

And soon enough you’ll need me

again

and seek me

again

and be nice

again...

And I’ll say sod off...

Becoming famous: childhood fantasy or possible reality?

Hello reader, I sincerely hope your day was relatively awesome without any crushing heart-to-hearts or period cramps or smell of decaying animal around the porch...none of that? good to hear...

Now remember when we were five (or thereabouts) and dreamt of becoming rich and famous...

Yes it all started with that que sera sera song (lyrics here)...

And then we subsequently ditched that dream in place of what I call insanely predictable life....

But now, I’ve been doing some thinking (yes I do that occasionally) and figured that it is rather easy to become famous these days.

What with youtube and facebook encouraging us.

I mean all you have to do is screw up these days...and instantly...

Hence, I’ve dug up that dried and shriveled up dream of mine and am giving it another go

in other words, yes, you'll hear of me soon enough! but not for screwing up I hope...TEE HEE

The word “literally”

Hello reader, hope you’re having a day minus any toothaches or unmanageable hair.   

Today’s topic is one that I’ve read about in another grammar blog www.theoatmeal.com but have never realised the importance of. 

Until I looked around and noticed that... i was hearing the word a lot.

Yes it seems like a big word, it IS FOUR syllables 

and to the average person you might even be hailed as a genius...but here’s the thing folks

If you misuse the word, you’re automatically a dumbass..

Like seriously

Like totally

Like litera...HONESTLY

A dumbass

You see the problem is most people think of “literally” like it’s some common adverb

But its not

So when you say

“He literally drives me up the wall”...wait what???

“I literally killed myself doing that!”....how izzz you talking right nowww??

“You literally *pause for effect* make me sick!” dude, go see a doctor...

When Is It Okay???

So obviously I’m not going to leave you hanging.

Exactly wnen can  you use the word “literally”

Well the way I see it, it’s like the Midas Touch where everything you touch turns gold....

only with “literally”, when you say it, you actually mean it in a literal sense.

When you say it, everything....becomes REALLL

So

“I literally fainted when I saw Britney”...

yes you lost consciousness at the sight of Britney.

It is possible.

kudos

Big word.

“I literally died and went to heaven when I saw Britney”

...not. possible. You. dumbass. 

The concept is unbelievably simple to grasp...if it can’t happen or just IS NOT possible, then you probably want to say...felt like?...or almost???....or seriously?? NOT literally!...
