Season 5, Episode 2: SY's Convo and MPO weekend...

" Heads, I win. Tails, you lose. " - Leap Year.

" At the end, a job is not just a job. Is who you are, and if you wanna change who you are, you have to change what you do. " - Repo Men.

With my cousin's graduation party and my uni's Tapestry of Colours in MPO, all the more reason for me to get back to KL for the weekend!

On the other end- going just briefly, studies in uni have been getting tougher, although somehow i have already expected it to be. But with lecturers that are 'faster than a speeding bullet'- quote Superman's car deco in my sis' car, what's the rush and sometimes i do get lost in the middle of the lecture. This has to stop. I really need to focus. Need. To. Focus.

But i have so many other plans too... Juggling each ball with proper timing, i sense this semester is going to be another great ride of challenges, so much so that i look forward even more for the weekend to escape.

Back to the weekend, Tapestry of Colours was alright. MPO looks smaller than i thought it to be but surely, it was grand. The performance was alright, too. The singing was rather long and draggy but the dancers' costume were beautiful. OCM did well too, though i missed out on the 'Warisan' piece. Needless to say, it was my first time in MPO and sharing it with my uni friends for my uni's event, it was, cliche as it is, nice.

After the show.

From KLCC, dad picked me up and went straight to my cousin's dinner party. Congrats SY once again for your graduation! And thanks for the 'makan'. It was delicious, scrumptious and full!

With the cousins on stage for a photo shoot.

Following dinner was a round of bowling. Rusty, really rusty. My shots were out of target and even if there was, it was lacking the oomph in the shot. No strike, pathetic of me, not even once. May be it was the alcohol that entered my bloodstream. Whisky's good.

Celebrated one of my friends birthday last Monday at Pizza Hut- it seems to be the most popular birthday spot here in uni. Happy Birthday, E!

After the dinner.

Entering uni, i have watched so many movies. New ones, old ones. It's one of the past-times to do here, so don't blame me. This post, i'd like to review two movies: Leap Year and Repo Men.

Leap Year is a romantic comedy and it was entertaining to watch. The same sort of feeling when watching The Proposal. And Amy A looks prettier in this movie that i could remember, and her character is fun to watch when paired with Matthew G. It has an interesting take on an Irish tradition, about the ladies proposing to their boyfriends on the 29th February. As the poster goes, 'it is not her boyfriend', the storyline becomes predictable but again, i'd like to stress, is how the progress is, not the final result. Somehow, Ireland seems to be the place for romantic shows these days, taking PS I Love You, in consideration. The setting of the movie is beautiful, especially on the cliff, and made me want to visit the place once day. Good watch, at least it has a happy ending.

Repo Men, on the other hand, has one of the most ridiculous ending. It was useless, pointless and absolutely unnecessary. The ending is like the Inception movie but without it's real strong dream foundation to it. So, i'll review this based on the movie before the last five minute or so. Jude L looks different in this movie too. I've never watched him play lead roles in an action movie, and i consider this movie a sci-fi action and he does well in the role, along with the rest of the cast. Repo Men is set sometime in the future, where failed organs can be replaced with new, mechanical ones. But it comes in a hefty price and those whose payments are overdue, the Repo Men hunts them down. The storyline is interesting- how the repo man enters his own world of being the hunted and struggles for a way out. Those who are watching this, i recommend you to switch off at the last five minutes.

More is to come, cheers SY! wc10 gets ready for more excitement, on screen and off screen!

Season 5, Episode 1: On my way...

" Private victories precede public victories. "

" Inside-out means to start first with self- to start with the most inside part of self- with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. " - Principle-Centered Leadership, Stephen Covey

Filming of Season 5 begins...

It's almost the end of the second week since the semester commenced. To tell you the truth, i have been wanting to blog about my first week but i was terribly busy. Weekdays, there were meetings to attend to, tasks to be fulfilled. Yet, despite the hectic first two weeks, i'm liking it. Liking it a lot. But becoming the President of ELC and the Student Advisor of HOT, i need to step up my pace.

As for weekends, they are my personal escapade.

Back to the first week, my friends and i had to select and arrange our timetable- something we detest often. Whenever the time clashes between classes, we have to negotiate for a new time slot. Sometimes, we need to rush for a place for our lab sessions or tutorials. They're on a first come, first serve basis.

Since it was the first week, we had been much relaxed and having said so, we fled to Ipoh after our class ended at 10 on Thursday. First of the list was the karaoke session. A mixture of Chinese and English songs, we had extreme fun holding the mic. Later, it was dinner at McD. Well, you may be wondering why of all places, McD in Ipoh. It wasn't just McD, but their new GCB on the menu that strike my attention, and of course, my wallet. It was tasty, really, but rather expensive.

Dinner done, SALT next. About the movie, i've nothing much to comment since i didn't expect much from the movie except for Angelina J's great acting and the chasing scenes following 'Who Is Salt' in the trailer. It does have an effective suspense element to keep you wanting for more, some twists and turns along the way to break your predictions and thrilling action scenes. No doubt, it was the jumps from one truck to another that excites me the most.

Returned to uni after the movie, spending almost 12 hours in Ipoh, and surely a hole burnt in the pocket. But it was worth it. It wasn't like i do this every time, especially when the semester really begins.

The second week was the Minggu Mesra Kampus, MMK for short. It's the time when all clubs and society in my uni opens a booth to attract and recruit new members. Somehow, this MMK drained my energy and by the end of the day, i'm worn out. Yet, because i have meetings to attend, i saw myself stealing time, sometimes just 30 minutes, to nap! And i didn't have much time for myself. I vow to jog at least twice every week (You may be saying that that's too few, but its the best i can do to fit into my schedule and weekends are excluded) but until today, it had been twice- one for each week.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I like doing what i do now, and Second Year- it's a whole new challenge! wc10 is on his way there...
