Semester Break

I am having my semester break right now.

So far my semester break has been eventful but something huge is coming, and right now I do not wish to divulge any of it.

It is something I am afraid of, but is something I cannot avoid (I could delay it, actually I intentionally bring it forward) and is something I do look forward to.

Will see how things turn up.

Minions Movie

I am a big fan of this yellow creatures and therefore when it was released I immediately went for the first slot available, and I even decided to watch it before I return to Penang since my flight departs at night. Minions could be considered a prequel to Despicable Me, and it very briefly shows how the minions first appeared, rather smoothly found their masters to serve (which basically is the sole purpose of their mere existence) and tragically lost all of them. Then after a long time they decide to travel to find a new master after momentarily gave up due to repeated failure to serve properly and found Scarlett Overkill. And so it goes on. The movie itself is rather entertaining though a bit dull if compared to Despicable Me but still it manages to give good laugh to the audience. Insertion of elements from the legendary King Arthur seems out of place and a bit absurd but at least the storyline flows well. The best part of the movie has got to be the part where one of the minions actually spoke "Terima kasih". To hear Malay being spoken in a Hollywood movie this big is simply jaw-dropping and everyone in the theatre was literally caught off guard. Overall, great movie!

Swadaya 2015

It's been a while since Sultanah Asma and Swadaya have a new show and that's why I was very looking forward to this year's marching band competition. Alas I couldn't watch the performance live so I have to dig for videos online as the only mean to watch their mesmerising performance.

This year Sultanah Asma did not emerge as Champion but Swadaya did, which I was rather surprised at the beginning but after watching the performance, I have to say Swadaya totally deserve it. While in my noobie opinion both do not differ much in quality, Swadaya's music captured me better than Sultanah Asma's.

After all, both are coached by the same coach, their quality would not differ much.

Well, for Sultanah Asma, sadly it has lost the attractive and mind-blowing quality since its Mulan. Its Mulan totally blew me off and I loved it and I till today am still watching it. It was a masterpiece so wonderfully orchestrated that led them to be the world champion in WCMSB 2011 and winning Sudler Shield Award. That was by far my most favourite's show.

On a side note I wish to say whoever organised Kuala Lumpur International Youth Marching Band Competition 2015 suck in doing so. No updates, no videos provided, and with only 5 bands competing, you call it international? Quite a shame.

Congratulations Swadaya and Sasband!

The End of Year 1 Semester 1

I have just finished my final exam and am currently a tad exhausted.

I will attempt to update my blog as soon as possible but I am taking a nap after days of insufficient sleep.

Good luck to those who are still having finals!

Recent Updates

Just to write a few words to ensure my blog doesn't die off.

My blog is one of the places where I deposit my soul to be retrieved and stored.

Recent days have been overwhelming, and I have been ridiculously hapless. There are so many things to do this semester. All of them come at once and the worst thing is they are still here and they are still coming even though my final exam is in 2 weeks. This makes my life miserable.

I got my laptop back last Friday but sadly on Saturday the same problem transpired. It appears that HP has not fixed my problem. They probably made the wrong diagnosis and fixed the wrong disease or they cured the symptoms but failed to eradicate the sickness. With greatest sadness I am resending my beloved laptop back to HP tomorrow and hopefully nothing more untoward incident would materialise as I would literally cry in front of all Gods prayed in Malaysia.

In 2 weeks time I would have finished my final exams. I am left with 5 days after my last paper in Kuching and I intend to spend that 5 days wisely by travelling to interesting places in Kuching, before I move on to other parts of Sarawak. Sarawak contains hidden beauty that are hard to reach, and I do not intend to let it stop me. I will be scavenging for some nice food as well, as most of the food I have taken in Kuching, sorry to say this, is rather bland and tasteless and simply beyond what I find acceptable to my liking. Sorry Sarawakians I am rather health conscious, your oily food (kolo mee) and saucey food (all sorts of chicken rice) doesn't suit me.

Until that day....

Question

There are certain times in your life that suck so much, you begin to question what's the purpose of your existence.

This semester really sucks for me and until I get myself away from this annoying quagmire I am stuck at I am unable to get restful or have a tad of peace.

I spoilt my 7 year old watch. A watch my uncle gave me when I was in form 3. A watch I fell in love on first sight and that I cared, literally doted with love, for 7 years and now it's spoilt and I can't repair it in Sarawak.

The few weeks later my laptop went haywire. I still don't know what went wrong and it's still being repair despite having sent it for repair for 2 weeks already. Now they tell me even KL don't have the parts and they need time to import the stock from overseas and I basically have to wait indefinitely although they have an expected date.

Then I fell sick. For quite long, about one week plus. At first I thought it was just tiredness, so I went only to a pharmacy. Then the symptoms persisted so I proceeded to a clinic. Took relevant drugs and finished the antibiotics but got worse. Whenever I lied down I would cough hard to the point it is a mere impossibility for me to lie down. I struggled whole night, didn't get proper sleep, so the next day morning I went to the clinic again, feeling beat. I was told the infection most likely moved down my respiratory tract, and I was given a stronger antibiotic.

I got better, luckily, but my nose allergy persisted and keep on producing mucous that seamlessly flow down to my throat, becoming phlegm and makes me throat itchy whole day and hence I cough all the time.

Then I just had my Mathematics test today and I screwed up my favourite and strongest subject. I made mistakes so stupid I now doubt my intelligence. I could forgive myself if it were other subjects, but Maths is a big no. Maths is my forte.

This semester sucks. It is ending in 3 weeks and I must say I cannot wait till the day comes. I will embrace it with love I will eradicate all hatred in the world.

Laptop In Repair

My laptop has gone haywire and is currently not functional and awaiting repair.

I am also right now busy with tons of assignments and projects that would end only next week.

So pardon me for being inactive for a while. It's time to disappear.
