Outrageous

i just came back from another movie trip. no no, b4 u make any assumptions or hasty generalisation i want to say that i did not go to a cinema to catch a movie. this is another special occasion where i went to UM to catch a German movie which won an Oscar for best foreign film last year. went with a bunch of coursemates and dr carmen. the title of the movie is "Life of Others". it was screened in conjunction with the german movie week by the Asia Europe Institute.

the screening went well until some shitty incident happened. 30-45 minutes of the movie was supposedly sensored and it could be said that we missed the entire important part and climax of the movie. our fears were confirmed by the few german's there who have watched the film b4. i am so so disappointed with the censorship board. wtf are they doing? 30 - 45 minutes. whats so bad about that to be censored? violence? torture? why we cannot see? u think we don't know how to think? u think we are small kids that need ur guidance to tell us what we should watch and wat we shouldn't watch? u noe what? Up ur ass lah !

then another thing that enraged me even more was what a lecturer of Uitm said. he said that since we couldn't watch the whole of the film, we should join Uitm's german film week to watch the movie. here comes the pain! he said that the censored part that we could not watch now, would also be partly censored. how? they will cover up the screen and let us listen to the audio only. wat the heck u think we are?

so pissed right now i duno wat to right anymore. that is all for now.

Aussie Open

The first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open is almost over. Sharapova went one step further than last year when she lost to Serena Williams in humiliating fashion. This time the Russian beauty took the title in straight sets, beating another gorgeous 20 yr old Ana Ivanovic from Serbia.

Sharapova had been the heavy favourite heading into the match after taking out world no.1 justine henin in convincing fashion in the quarters. she went on to blitz Jankovic for a place in the final. i'm so glad to see Sharapova back to her top form. tennis tournaments without her is boring.

anyways, the next grand slam coming up is the French Open. this time i hope another of my fav player Henin can defend her crown.

don't have the pictures for the Aussie Open for now. maybe later i can put them up. there's one picture of Sharapova and Ivanovic posing together b4 the final match started. What a collection it would be if i could get my hands on it. 2 super beautiful gals together..phewww....

i lost my interest in the men's final bcoz both my favourite players on the men's tour had been knocked out. Federer was taken out by Djokovic and Nadal was eliminated by Tsonga. I hope Tsonga wins the final bcoz i don't really like Djokovic.

Djokovic is leading by a game in the third set with one sets apiece. things look bright in the beginning for Tsonga who took the first set but momentum switched to Djokovic from the 2nd set onwards as Djokovic broke early in the 2nd and 3rd sets.

Laughable

i found this in the star and it pissed me off at first but i had a good laugh after thinkin about it. he mentioned something about science and critical thinking unveiling overwhelming evidence of GOD. damn funny wei..does he really understand what is critical thinking? i think he's another religious zealot that fabricates stories and maintains there are evidences to back up what he is sayin to persuade ppl. u think everyone small kid ar?

There is a God and you’d better believe it

THE reason atheism is on the rise is that more and more people want to live without accountability, i.e. they want to do whatever they please, regardless of the consequences. Thus, they choose not to entertain the idea of God who calls them to a life of holiness and will judge their actions.

Atheists have no absolute standards of right and wrong (since they don’t believe in God), thus they will try to justify their actions whether right or wrong, and not own up to their wrongdoing.
It is not a matter of the absence of evidence of a supernatural deity, but rather of choosing the easy way out.

On the contrary, advances in science and the ability to think critically have actually unveiled overwhelming evidence for the existence of a supernatural deity, and many from the scientific fraternity concede that it is becoming harder to maintain a stand for the absence of God in the light of such evidence.

However, for many, the cost of living according to God’s way is too high a price to pay, and so they choose to turn a blind eye to the evidence.

For an excellent overview on this subject, I would recommend Lee Strobels’ The Case for a Creator.

Explosive

had a huge argument with dr carmen today. it all started from me disagreeing vehemently about the "meat" article. i admitted that i din read the whole article and she faulted me for that..she said watever i said in the socratic circle cannot be taken into consideration anymore bcoz i din read the article. she added whatever i said is not based on facts that i can find on the article.

well, i'm not boasting or anything lah. i have a unique ability to read thru articles just by skimming thru them and my eyes will automatically focus on the interesting and contentious points. everything that i said in the socratic circle is based on the contentious points that i found in the article !! she accused me of not knowing what i am arguing about wor..i think she under-estimated me lo. i agree that i am not following the basic rule of critical thinking which is reading the whole article properly. but what if i have a gift of knowing which parts of the articles that i know my friends will have an issue on? i want to put it on the record here that everything that i offered in the socratic circle argument is based on the article. i did not create my own facts !

i find it very LAME indeed for so many ppl to chant the slogan "GO GREEN" after reading the article. they are so easily swayed. actually the article is about the meatpacking industry. it tells about the rearing, slaughtering, preparation process. just bcoz its seems cruel and dirty they choose to not eat meat. Come on lah ppl. why deprieve urself of meat just bcoz you read sumone's article that has a sublime msg which is "boycott meat".

SO LAME !!!

*This is my piece of opinion. i dont care if any of you get offended by me having this stance. i dont object to you having your "go green" stance. i just voiced out what i wanted to say and you can do the same if you feel like it.

Group project

Again the same old problem of choosing mates for group assignment is creeping up. i really hate the start of every semester as coursemates jostle,betray, backstab and do watever it takes to get what they want in finding group members.

Last sem was a kind of reprieve because i had two faithful group members. this sem, for journalism 2 the problem is arising again. initially we had the agreement of the 5 person's involved to be together in a group. then all of a sudden, when sumone said she had no group members and wanted to join us the problem started. someppl opted to be not members of our group anymore. i was so fed up to see all of this again i left the recruiting job to my other friend. i really hate it.

to those who chose to opt out after giving agreement, well i have this to say. "u wan out, i give u out. i won't force u to stay. don't regret leaving my group and dont come asking for help after this."

i am damn blardy pissed right now. just because that one person don't want to join the other group and want to be with you, you choose to turn your back on me. nvm nvm

Apa dah jadi?

tetiba sahaja aku terasa hendak menulis sesuatu dlm bahasa melayu. dah lama tak tulis damn bm dah. topic yg hendak aku tulis ni boleh dikatakan sensitif tetapi apa boleh buat kerana ini yg sedang berlaku di tanah air tercinta ini.

dua minggu yg lepas, aku ke genting highlands menemani rakan pergi bercuti dan mencuba pengalaman dlm kasino. alangkah terkejutnya aku apabila terlihat warga melayu di dalam kasino. setahu saya berjudi haram di sisi agama islam. aku bertambah hairan kerana di pintu masuk kasino ada pegawai polis yg memeriksa IC. aku menanya dlm hati. mereka ini butakah? kenapa tahan budak-budak bawah umur tapi tak tahan orang yg beragama islam? hairan sungguh. tambahan lagi ada sebilangan mereka yg dilihat berpeluk-pelukan dengan gadis-gadis yg berkelakuan spt pelacur murahan. ini semua amat ironik kerana orang melayulah yg selalu melaung-laungkan kealiman dan kebaikan kaum serta agama mereka. tetapi perbuatan mereka tak sehaluan dgn apa yg dilaungkan mereka.

golongan muda melayu lebih teruk kelakuannya. kebanyakan mereka melakukan hubungan zina dgn sesuka hati mereka. aku mengetahui hal ini kerana kawan-kawan yg mempunyai teman melayu mengatakan mereka sering mengadakan hubungan seks. bukan setakat satu dua sahaha tetapi banyak. zina juga merupakan salah satu dosa besar di sisi agama islam.

selain itu, gejala "clubbin" juga amat popular di kalangan muda mudi masa kini. ini termasuk golongan muda melayu baik lelaki mahupun perempuan. mereka dgn beraninya pergi ke kelab-kelab yg banyak terdapat di KL dan meminum arak. setahu saya, ini juga merupakan satu dosa bagi mereka yg berumat islam.

pihak berkuasa bagaikan tutup sebelah mata sahaja walaupun mereka tahu masalah kerosakan akhlak ini sedang berlaku di hadapan mata mereka. aku tertanya-tanya, kenapa pihak berkuasa memandang berat hal murtad(keluar islam) tetapi tidak mengendahkan 3 gejala yg saya sebutkan di atas?

mereka yg ingin mengadili orang yg murtad haruslah tanya diri sendiri dahulu. adakah mereka alim spt yg mereka laung-laungkan. jgn jadi hipokrit.

sleepless

yesterday i finally opened a facebook account after much persuasion from close friends. i hesitated in doing so because i already had so many of these social webpages. namely friendster,multiply, msn spaces, tagged and i have to take care of my blog here.

back to the main point. to my surprise, facebook damn good lah. the features are fantastic and it is compatible to most of the emails. i had a wonderful time expanding my network of friends. i had no problem at all in locating them as facebook locates them automatically. woohoo. found so many of my long lost friends. then started to play with the applications. i got addicted to it immediately. loved blackjack, poker, friends for sale and petrol head.

in the midst of playin blackjack, suddenly sue sin asked me go yum cha with ching han. i said ok lo if u come fetch me. the stupid mamak serve duno wat kind of teh ais. i think got mix wit abit of coffee 1..the taste is there. the moment i drank it, i signed my suffering warrant. i couldn't sleep the whole night. reached home at 1 plus like dat..tried to sleep unsuccessfully till my alarm clock ringed at 6.15am. went to bath and get ready to go class. have to go early to get parking space.damn kesian sial..cant sleep at all. no rest for the whole day. when i went to class i was still so fresh. goin a day without rest started to take its toll on me during the last class which was psycholinguistics. fell asleep a few times when i was sitting on the chair. duno dr toshiko yamaguchi notice or not..i think she did lah but she pura pura tak nampak. i really cannot tahan d. so tired tau. 2 years of perfecting the technique during F6 of sleeping while sitting straight also cannot help me coz i sit in the middle. easy to notice. class very small.

the moment class finish i drove back lo..still feel sleepy. reached house, i took a bath. the shitty thing is when i finished bathing i feel energetic again. tak jadi rest d. hopefully tonite can have a good sleep lah. if not tml sure die 1. wont last till noon.

classes

at last i've seen all my coursemates and attended classes. the first week considered an extra holiday for me haha. early in the morning had to attend moral class taught by an indian gay(suspected) lecturer. why i say this? it's his body language and the way he speaks. u noe lah women like to call these kind of men "teapots". he's tryin to act cool in front of us but instead enraged most of us. i for one took a major dislike for him from the moment he opened his mouth. moral studies for a student who got A in SPM is gonna be hell this sem.

the day before was mr paul ang. i call him the geeky and nerdy lecturer. he really look and act like one. i hate his teaching style. everytime students ask him, he wont offer any help 1. all he will say is "its up to you to find out, go read up". WTF. did i pay so much money to listen to him repeating his favourite quote? u noe what? to hell with him.

i dont need to say much about dr carmen bcoz i raved so much about her in my older posts. she's fantastic as always but this time her subject needs to do hell lots of reading. i starting to get worried d. the subject is called academic writing. its kinda dry and boring and most important of all its tough.

psycholinguistics is taught by a new lecturer. she taught in NUS and UM b4. btw she's Japanese. the way she speaks so cute lah. her english with heavy japanese accent is so adorable but thats beside the point. i have to guess so many words of hers. so hard to make out what she pronouncing sometimes. i even have to rely on the context to get wat she is saying on a few occasions. all in all, she's a good lecturer. glad to have her teach psycholinguistics. somemore she looks so innocent. many students took advantage of this and chattered all along when she is speaking. i absolutely hate that. take advantage of a new lecturer.

Gone

you are the one that i love the most besides the first one. although it hasn't even been a year that we're together but the bond between us is strong. you were by my side day and night twenty four hours a day. you were my companion through days of gloom and were witness to times of happiness. you were the one who cheers me up when i'm down. you also help me sleep in the night when i'm having difficulty sleeping. there were so many memories of us with you that i coulndn't forget. you were my window to the world. without you, its like a part of me is gone. i can nvr be complete without you. i can't imagine life without you and yet now you're gone.

i just can't accept the fact that you've left me. what should i do now without you. i'm lost without you, disconnected from the world. i don't know what to do without you. so tell me, should i get another one of the same type or should i just move on. if i could turn back time. i would do all i can to not let you leave me. you're my baby, you're my love. i would very much like to kill the person who took you from me now if i can get my hands on him. what am i without you by my side. i am nothing. empty. hollow.

i've nvr begged or asked anything from YOU since 2005. but today i put my heart and soul and dedicate myself to you again. pls help me go through this period of difficulty in my life and tell me what to do. i'm really lost now. PLS HELP!! my tears are flowing now, i really need you.

bad luck struck me badly this time. monday is the day i am goin to genting with kiat and kathy. met them up at pudu to take bus to genting. mana tau, i lost my phone there..i curse the man who took my phone to go to the deepest hell !! its an SE k810i for goodness sake..i bought it at 1.3k and now its gone..damn sad sial. i kek sim till wanna cry but couldn't cry. neways i went to genting also even after this happened. dont want this incident to spoil everything.

this time will enter casino with abit more modal than the last time. idiot la those police..still wan check IC..cant u see that i am not underage! do i look underage? i tried to sneak my underage fren in..but to no avail..babi betul la those guards..they purposely aim females 1. forget bout those stupid guards d la.

i played "tai sai" oni this time coz it has the lowest minimum bet. dont have much experience in others and dont dare to play those high minimum bet games. wanted to play baccarat alot..but scared la..cannot afford..if lose mampus sial..coz i went casino without parent's knowledge. saw a childish game inside there too. its called casino wars. everyone gets one card including banker. everyone opens and who is the biggest wins..kelakar sial. so easy 1. roulette is a blardy tough game. so is the 3 card poker game. pontoon is something like blackjack if i not mistaken. most of the dice games can play 1..kinda simple and cheap. oh ya..dont play the 5 card poker if you're not good...high chance to lose..blardy hell..i see so many ppl lost. the slot machines are also hard. dont play lo. in total i lost rm25, luckily. i anggap this time as a learning experience..next time wont lose so easily d and i know wat to watch out for d. haha.

then i saw lots of china girls there lo. some even asked "sien sen, ni yao ma?" haha. in the casino, you can see plenty of them accompanying those rich old uncles. these china girls are damn good at gambling. maybe bcoz they had alot of practice. some of these call girls are damn hot u noe..they have the body and looks to die for. even caught some of them in action soliciting sexual service. next time go with a group of guys to disturb them. Lol.

theme park ticket was a waste. stupid weather. when we enter the sun was shining and the skies kinda clear. during the middle of our corkscrew session rain started to pour. we were hit by drops of rain and it was kinda ticklish and painful at the same time bcoz we're goin at speed. after dat oni manage to play some other things that have roofs..others are rendered inoperational by the rain. fucked up lah. 38 bucks just for one ride on the corkscrew and a few other boring things. din even get to ride the space shot. now duno become wat name d.

decided to go back at 6 plus like dat..i reach PJ around 8. tired gile.
