Election week is here. This year is especially exciting for me because My friend, Faiz (A.K.A Fushi) is running for MPP.
That means, yes, I am on Team Faiz.
Biased? Slightly, maybe. But can you blame me? I do not know the other candidates and in fact, I've never seen most of them before. I found out Fushi and Izzat are the only two who are in their semester 4, do correct me if I'm wrong. The rest are still in their semester 2 and 3. Shocking. Because when I was in my semester 2 and 3, all I wanted to do is lepak. I was not ready for any serious obligation.
That being said, congratulations. I mean, someone has to take up the role kan?
Fushi can definitely rock this role. He's a changed man and I am so happy for you. Give him a chance, listen to what he has to say and you might just end up liking him. Like the rest of us :)
Anyways, I thought I should let everyone know the reason why I am on Team Faiz. It is because he's my friend. A good one and worth keeping. I am not in this for the politics, it's more of a friendship thing for me. This election brings all of us closer and it fills my heart with warmness. Teringat time semester 1 dulu :)
This election reminds me that it's already my second year and I am still friends with the same bunch of people. After all the crap we went through, we're still together. They were the ones who made everything feel okay when I thought it wasn't.
Plus, how can you not love this?
Now, let's go to UiTM Kota Kinabalu. Another friend of mine is also running for MPP.
Good luck sayang, be strong mentally and physically for your JPP camp! See you in February :)
P/S: Fushi, I have a question. Is it weird seeing your face everywhere around the faculty? haha :D

Launching of "Lu Pikirlah Sendiri de Movie"
I think it was just last week that I declared I was not doing anything. Well. That was then. Now I have so much things to do. It's so exciting!
Last Monday, on the 18th of January 2010, Wendy and I went to cover a movie launch by Aminah Rhapor. It's called "Lu Pikirlah Sendiri" starring Nabil Raja Lawak, Mila AF and Puteri Sarah Liyana.
I was never a fan of Nabil and his tag line lu pikirlah sendiri. It gives me the impression of rudeness. Ever since the tag line became a phenomenon, I noticed more and more people started picking up the term. Each and every time anyone replied my question with "lu pikirlah sendiri!", honestly speaking, I feel you deserve a hard, barbaric spanking.
I was surprised why anyone would use this term as a movie title?
Having watched the movie, I think it's the bahasa pasar way of asking you to... well, to merely think. Think about what's best for you. Think about life. Think rationally. Think about your goals. Think about the strategy to achieve those goals of yours.
Basically the message that the movie is trying to portray is without hard work, there is no success. The movie is suitable for everyone who wants a good laugh without having to think too much because the jokes are pretty obvious. There are elements in the movie that got me to tears, like the "kasut sekolah" scene. I guess you'll just have to watch it to find out what I mean.
And oh, one of the best things about the movie is the soundtrack. Especially the ones by Meet Uncle Hussain.
The movie comes out 11th February 2010.
Find out more about the movie here.

Happy New Year.
Whoopie. I'm ecstatic. TOTALLY.
...okay, so not really. I am trying very hard to be. I've been here for five days and it's been so dreadful. I'm homesick. It's been five friggin days and I.am.homesick.
Why do you celebrate New Years? Why is it that at this time of year, you come up with this “resolution”? New year’s resolution is a promise you make to yourself or a goal that you want to achieve, yes? Chances are you're going to screw your resolutions anyway, so why bother? Sure these empty promises you make to yourself motivates you. But what’s the outcome if there’s no hardwork?
I don’t really understand the concept of welcoming the new year. It just means we’re getting older. You want to know what I think? I think people just want a reason to celebrate, to party. Not that I am opposing the idea. I love celebrations but I just hate the lies people feed you to make you believe. Like who came up with this shitty new years resolution? And why did we conform?
I don’t get it. Setting your goals once a year? Seriously?
The ultimate reason why I love celebrations, be it Hari Raya, Christmas, New Years, Birthdays..etc, is that it brings us all together.
Personally, I love the feeling of togetherness. I thought this year’s going to be the best new year’s celebration so far because we planned a lot of things to do together. But most of my friends are not here yet… That, or they have their own plans.
Last year, my friends and I celebrated new years at a mamak place. I thought that was pathetic. Now that I think of it, it was so much fun. I miss that.
Menyesalnya balik awal.
If I was home, my family and I would be spending New Years in front of the tv. Or maybe in front of the tv at grandma’s. Together. I miss that the most.
So what’s YOUR once-a-year promise to yourself?

Im trying to make this entry as brief as possible
First off, I apologize for not paying that much attention to the chatbox on the side. Mel, Nora and Iziee, I’ve just realized your comments. Teehee.
Well, as Mel suggested, I browsed through the tumblr.com website. Oh by the way, Mel, the correct term is user-friendly. Anyways, I am rather attracted to what they have to offer. I like that I have more control of the design, I like its mobile-ability and I like that it has a professional feel to it.
I used to have a myspace, friendster, hi5, tagged and a facebook account. It seemed exciting at the time, to have a lot of virtual friends. Over time, most of those virtual “so-called” friends either turned out to be a bunch of perverts or they’re just plain nosy.
I’ve deleted my friendster account a long time ago. I’ve just completed the final cancellation process of my myspace account. As for hi5 and tagged, ughhh screw em.
I think facebook beats the rest. Ha!
Anyways, now I am tempted to have a tmblr account. Just because I know I can do so much with it. I believe it’s a product of combining twitter and blogging and my head is filled with possible designs right now! Ugh.
We’ll see, we’ll see.
The semester break is almost over. I’ll be going back to Dramaland next week and a fresh new start anticipates my arrival. It just occurred to me that I’ve been out too much recently, hanging out with my cousins, my girls and helping my mom.
Last Wednesday, 9th December 2009, my family and I went to Vedablu for ice cream. It was my brother’s 22nd birthday. After that, I went to have supper with my friends at CJ’s Bistro. Great place, great food, great atmosphere.
The next day, 10th December 2009, was my cousin Sabrinah’s birthday. We celebrated her day at Conrados CafĂ©. Fun!
@ Conrados Cafe
On the 12th, my girls and I had a cook-off at Kizzy’s, which is an annual thing. It was also a celebration for our 8 years of friendship. I hope we’ll remain this close and all the best in life!
These couple of days, I have been locked up in my room because too much going out is suffocating me and I need my time alone. Plus, there are a fucking load of movies that require my inspection.
What I’ve watched:
- Atonement- interesting indeed.
- Grease- probably my 100th time watching this one. I’ll probably never grow out of it.
- Halloween- Quite gore. Me likey.
- How to Lose Friends and Alienate them- witty, funny and slightly annoying. I recommend this to aspiring celebrity journalists out there.
- Meet the Spartans- two words, Carmen Electra. Hubba hubba.
- Once- AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
- The Reader- Ralph Fiennes yummmz
- Jennifer’s Body- Megan Fox’s attempt in being not just a pretty face. But it’s quite disappointing for a gore movie. Good try, can do better.
Of all the movies I’ve watched, the one that have a huge impact on me is “Once”. It’s a low budget musical movie. I notice that the movies that have a huge impact on me are mostly musical movies. God knows how much I love them.
This movie is officially at the top of my list.
The guy and the girl meets by chance at the street of Dublin. He was playing his music and she was the only one listening at the time. They got into a conversation and she finds out he's exactly the man she's looking for- to fix her vacuum cleaner. Haha. He fixes vacuum cleaners for a living.
They established a deep connection and together they create beautiful music..Problem is, he's still hung up on his ex and she's matrimonially attached to someone. In the end, they didn’t end up together but they're happy with their own partners. That’s good. That’s real life.
If this were a real scenario, I say they both made a very smart decision. Plus, why should all happy ending means the altar? I mean, for some people it can mean the beginning of a nightmare.
Anyways, you should try giving the songs a listen. They're very good. I’m officially a fan on Glen Hansard!
