Random Bits

Feeling much better today. Had piano classes just now. Today's class lasted for 90 minutes as i had to replace an earlier class i missed. Because we had so much time, she gave me 3 pieces instead of the usual 2. And i finally got my first Richard Clayderman piece. I've tried a few but they're not very easy and i usually play halfway but this time i'm determined to nail it. haha

I've started reading P.G Wodehouse because with a headache and all a light read is the best choice. Also yesterday i read bits and pieces of Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down because i just got it back. Somehow, i can't resist reading his books over and over again. You can just open any page and you're bound to laugh. A long Way Down is one of my fav's mainly because of the character of misfits in it.

Watching a different J-drama this week - IWGP. It's more of a murder mystery drama and so far it's been interesting.

I'm on an overdose of Jason Mraz these days. I used to listen to him a lot and then i stopped cause probably i wasn't in the mood for his tunes but my sis introduced me to Lucky and i'm into him again.

Ive been sleeping for nearly the whole day, waking up just to pray and bathe. I would have slept longer but Petity woke me up by jumping around my bed reminding me that i had to feed her. My fever's coming and going and i've used so many tissues.

Watching Project Runway 2. So cool that i get to see an episode a day. If i could get the DVD set i definitely would. Season's 2 is one of my fav cause i like a lot of the contestants - Daniel, Nick, Chloe even Santino who provides drama.

Reading 'The Tent' by Margaret Atwood. It's a collection of short stories. Really good read. All the stories have a dark weird sense to it.

Sick

Not feeling too well at the moment. My head feels like a ton of bricks. I'm lying on the bed now trying to decide the best amount of pillows i need under my head. hmm...i slalu suddenly2 demam. And always bad timing. Dahlah i have a driving class 2mrw. At this rate i'm never going to get my license. I'm contemplating going eventhough im feeling this way but the last time i did that cause some unwanted things to happen. enough said about that.

Faran followed Maya and Ravin back so i spent some time cleaning up the room just now. The whole 'cleaning is therapeutic' thing really works for me. Felt really relaxed after that. I finished Musashi so i'm still in the process of deciding what my next book will be. I have like about 2 weeks left before i start med and i want to cram as many reading time as possible. During foundation i barely read so i'm guessing the situation during 1st year med will be worse. Some titles that i'm looking at are Middlesex(John Euginides), Sam the Sudden (P.G Wodehouse) and Such A Long Journey( Rohintan Minstry).

I didn't think the poem i put up in the previouse posts would get people so emotional. I've had quite a few messages from my friends telling me how it touched them and how much it made them miss their parents. hmm..i guess being away in college and all you get swept up in whatever's going on but when you get reminded of what's there at home..you get a little homesick.

I don't think i'll be terribly homesick leaving home soon but i'll definitely miss being here. I love that i got to hang out with my parents so much,especially my mum. With my dad, i've talked more than i ever did, even actually having fun when we went out just the two of us for lunch. Maybe not being at home a lot last year made me appreciate them so much more. These past few months my general mood has been happy and contentment. Alhamdullilah.

I'm going to sleep now. Again. That's one thing fever does to you. I've been dozing off so many times today.

P.S : Happy Bday Nad!!! Love you loads.

Politics

Watched the debat between Anwar- Shabery jsut now.It was quite interesting but i think it was not long enough to actually really seriously discuss the issue at hand - increasing oil prices and all that. And there were a lot of moments spent at taking jibes at each other's personal affairs. The debate sometimes went off point i think. Have to give the Shabery dude credit though for agreeing to go live and all that cause Anwar is known to be a seasoned speaker and he being a newbie and all i think did a good job and held his own.

Watched it with my parents.Halfway through my dad had to leave for an appointment so he left me in chargeof taking notes and then informing him later. I was like 'what?'..haha..felt like i was debating again and had to listen to the other team and take down points. At least i didn't have to prepare poi's. haha.

Later, when i was 'reporting' back to him..felt like i was some secretary. I think as usual i was writing too fast and didn't get wth i was scrawling at time

Rantings

Yeah, im blogging about J-drama again. Haha. Sorry, but I can’t help it. Usually if I was at college, or my sibs were here I would be ranting to them about it and talking to myself is something I reserve to more perplexing stuff. Yeah, I’m crazy. Anyway, whenever I watch these dramas I always think about the situations these dramas portray and think about how I would react to them if they actually happened around me or to me. I find that most of the times I tend to disagree with the endings given, especially when it comes to love stories. I’m not a big believer in perfectly happy ever after endings. Moving on, coincidentally the last 3 dramas I watched had the theme student-teacher relationship them. I didn’t purposely choose these dramas because of that mind you. Only one of them was exclusively about that, the other two had it as one of the subplots. So I was thing about it, and whether I was against this kind of relationship or not. I came to the conclusion that I think I would have a problem with the teacher having a r’ship with

The student while they were in school but I think I wouldn’t have a problem with them having a relationship after that student graduated. I just think having the whole relationship within the school system is wrong. And anyway if they really loved each other and all that they can wait right. While most people I’ve talked to it about have a problem about the age difference, that factor doesn’t bother me. It never really has I think. If you’re planning on finding your life partner or something why limit yourself to those only in a certain age group. You never know what you’re missing and age doesn’t depict accurately how a person is.

This is on a totally different note but I was going through videos at You Tube and I was watching some Japanese variety shows where various actors and artistes are featured. Their variety shows are so chaotic and I think they’re really good at building the artistes image in the sense that they make a point to show them being all goofy or making a fool of themselves which I think is a great publicity stunt because viewers will then find them endearing. I doubt thought that everything is genuine and I think there’s a lot of play acting involved. Like there’s this vid where one of the members of this J-pop group was reading out a letter to his members and it’s like all sentimental, and it’s about how he feels bad that he got hospitalized and sick at one time and he’s weeping on air. And like his members all crying too. And the viewers really lap it all up. I’m not trying to say that dude wasn’t sincere but why does he have to read it on air. I mean, can’t you just do it when you’re with your group? Does the whole world have to hear? That’s what I find real dodgy. But then again, it’s the entertainment world so what do you expect right?

Another thing is that I don’t understand why they choose to wear whatever it is they’re wearing when they’re performing. The costumes are really bad. Seriously. Most of the times, they’re all extremely flashy, glittery and there’s things or like bits of cloth hanging off them. They look like over-decorated Christmas trees. Maybe it’s the style over there – but I think anyone would find it to be a bit too much.

Conclusion: I have to much free time to be doing all this. Haix. I guess I’m trying to cram as much fluff into my brain before I start first year med and the crazy studying commences.

P.s: XJ! I was actually contemplating getting Coffee Prince that day but I decided that starting on Korean dramas would not be a good idea. I’d start watching to many of them. Do I have to mention A Kindred Spirit? Haha. And I still think the guys all look like girls.

Walking Down Memory Lane

Finally, finally me up with yana and ee wen. We’ve planned to meet a few times b4 but something always comes up. Went to CS and watched Hancock. I enjoyed it. It was funny, the plot was interesting and will smith was great. Had lunch at Sushi King - Yana had a hard time choosing a place to eat, hehe and talked, which was great cause there’s so many things we had to talk about. It’s great that even though all three of us may have changed in some way or another ( I think ee wen looks like this cute Japanese actor with her new haircut and Yana doesn’t have such a temper now – jk yana!) we can still click and just continue from where we left off before. And thanks Ee Wen for helping me with finding that J-drama I wanted. Fastest time ever it took for me to get something im looking for. Usually im bending over for ages reading all the titles one by one.
