Sigh...

One word for this coming semester, TiRiNG. Can I just pause LiFE for a moment and rest? I can't handle so many things. I can't juggle so many things. Studies, assignments, tests, projects, exams then final project and to top it off, work.

Let's see, this semester I've got 6 essays with a minimum of 1, 500 words. A research paper of minimum 5,000 words, an advertising campaign, minor PR assignments, a PR final project that has to be big and grand, international politics paper, tutorial activities involving political stuffs and work...

Back To School

Year 2 Semester 2. A semester away from final year, final semester. Just few semester to brace through before graduation. Here we go again. Doing what we do best, study, assignments, projects and exams.

I see familiar faces and places but I do not recognize them. I see juniors I know and used to chat with but I don't know how or what to talk to them. We are seniors now. It feels powerful but at the same time, I feel awkward to be in this position. A position where people seem to expect the best from you. There's a certain pressure to do well. A certain pressure to excel above others.

I always tell myself to study after each class, do a mini-revision. It never worked because I never did do it. I end up playing around, hanging out but I still manage to do well in my exams. Luck? Born smart? I'd say a little of both but mostly, my own way of studying. So what subjects this semester?

Advanced Writing Skills
PR: Management & Practice
Advertising: Copywriting & Media Planning
Introduction to International Polictics
Mass Media Law & Policy In Malaysia

A total of 5 subjects this semester. Would love to take up Feature Writing and Electronic News but it's not being offered this semester. Well, at least I got time to get a job to save my sorry arse.

Where Do We Go From Here?

To the left or to the right? No idea. I don't know where I am heading in life. At the age of 21, I supposed I should start saying 22 although it's not my birthday yet. I still don't know what I'm gonna do with my life.

Question: If all we do is study, graduate, work, buy what we want/need and end up losing everything because we will eventually die. Isn't that so? So, what's the use of striving so hard just to get through ONE day when you're gonna lose it all sooner or later.

Question: What am I supposed to do with my life? People say I'm talented, smart, blahblahblah. Unfortunately, I don't see it so I don't know where I'm supposed to go or do with this 'talent'.

Question, question, questions...

Schamcy Sundae!

Sunday morning, rain is pouring. Ahh, wouldn't that be perfect? A lazy Sunday just before the semester starts but unfortunately it's not raining. Just spending a very slow, lazy Sunday with some songs and TV series. Been going back to the past lately with the series I am watching. Animation wise, chasing up to Cardcaptor Sakura, one of my favourite animes growing up. I even know the opening and ending theme. Well, I used to. For TV series, I'm in the mood for The Nanny, The Bill Cosby Show and The GeorgevLopez Show. Ahh, good times...




So what's your playlist for a lazy Sunday? Trust me, I've got no Gaga on my Sunday playlist :)

The Script - Breakeven

Florence & The Machine - You've Got The Love

M2M - The Day You Went Away

Aqua - Turn Back Time

Diana DeGarmo - Don't Cry Out Loud

Kate Voegele - Manhattan From The Sky

Lenka - We Will Not Grow Old

Born To Be Brave

Pretty much every one of Gaga's little monsters are anticipating Gaga's new album which will be release in May. Titled 'Born This Way', it truly stands for everything Gaga believes in. We've heard the title track and it's an anthem by itself. Malaysia however, decides to put a censorship on Born This Way's lyrics. The part with the most impact which says "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, trans-gendered life" was censored with some mumbling or on some station, it gets cut straight to the chorus. 1 words, WHAT-THE-HELL? Grow up, Malaysian Government!

Next, there's this hype/rumor that's been going around that Gaga is secretly practicing a cult, satanic one to be exact. Last year, there were rumors that her song, Paparazzi contains demonic message and images. Now everyone is repeating the same thing because Gaga decides to look different in this upcoming album. To be precise, horns and spikes that pokes out of her body. Personally, I think Gaga's had enough of all the slandering and rumors that she just say 'Fuck it, I'm gonna do what I want and if demonic is what you want, that's what you get'. So what if she did put implants on her shoulders? I don't think so but if it's true, it still can be remove. This is just Gaga being creative and pushing a little bit more on her showmanship. I know for a fact that there are Gaga-haters who enjoys listening to her music secretly.



I'll just wait for the album to come out but I'm sure along the way, there will be lots of slandering and it should stop.

Back Bitter & Bitchier

It's Saturday and eversince I came back to Penang, all I've been doing and feeling is to eat and sleep. Being back here feels good because I get to see the people I love and yet I'm already missing the people I got to know and love in KL. I hated KL at first but then I grew accustomed to it. Noticed how I didn't say I love it? I only love the stores there and SOME of the people there. Fashion there is defnitely way better and different than in Penang. I've been so struck and awe-amazingly by fashion peeps who dons Vintage and Boho stuffs. Now back in Penang, all I see are lalas. No wonder people call me a lala in KL when they know I'm from Penang.

I'm gonna miss the fashion in KL. Vintage! Boho! T.T

Anyways, back in Penang. Today Saturday, Sunday comes next and then Monday. Class starts...
Can't wait? Probably...
