The things that keep you going for so far will remain the things that keep you going, no matter what changes.

Do What I Can Do

Blimey! I haven't post anything yet since Saturday? Unbelievable! Well, actually, you can believe it...this is so like me, coming now and then with my updates and suddenly, poof! I am a silent blogger once again - kind of.

Hmm...let's recap the things I've done so far. Last Saturday, I went to watch Half Blood Prince in DP. Out of the two places here downtown, I prefer the GSC in DP as compared to that in MP. It's like going to the GSC in 1B and the old one, near Cathay. But of course, if they have Cathay here, forget GSC, I would have gone to the former. Okay, so my classmate, Anysz gave me his tickets to the movies because he was going back to JB, thanks to the influenza thing - but we (Tijan and I) didn't make it in time so we brought tickets to the next show. HBP barely started when we entered the hall.

Now on with the movie...as an avid reader of the series, I, of course, have my own expectations for the movie and as someone who has watched movie adaptations right from the first one, the Philosopher's Stone, I too, know that there will be a bit of disappointment. I know we can't expect the movie to play exactly like the novel, which would be crazy enough and budget-breaking.

So there's the love thing between Ron "Won-won" and Lavender which sparkles up Hermione's jealousy and Harry's on Ginny and Dean Thomas' affection with each other. With Voldermort on the move, I find it reassuring that they could still fall in love with one another - but then again, don't we all? It's just that, Lavender cheated! It was so unfair of her to use Love Potion on Ron (come to think of it, I wonder if I can brew one myself...you never know when it's gonna' be handy..ah, forget it!).

And Draco (oh, Draco) was pretty emotional in this movie. Won't you be if the Dark Lord chose you to take your father's place - your father who has failed him and he picked you to finish his job, just to have fun, knowing that you don't really have the guts to do real evil? Well-thought, Voldy! But Draco's pretty skinny and lanky in HBP, while Harry and Ron seemed to be a bit "tougher".

I was, of course, awaiting Snape's appearance throughout the show so yeah, I got a pretty good glimpse of him. I wonder why I kind of like his character, Malfoy second and Ron third. Never seemed to be so caught on Potter.

The quidditch match was incredible! And you know what, I never said that this was going to be a review so enough said. It's better if you watch the movie yourself and then splurge out your comments & critiques on it. I wanted to see Dumbledore's funeral because in the book, it was really grand and I wanted to watch it but then again, like I mentioned above, that would be budget-breaking.

I left the hall quite satisfied and looking forward to watch the final movie which will be a two-parter, each taking about 2 - 2 1/2 hours. The first part is aimed for release November 2010 and the second part, the November after. And this time, I must admit, I really am anticipating it. Someone give me a time machine please!

On second thought, never mind...

Free Week, Eh?

Guess everyone heard about my campus and its affairs with H1N1...yeah, people back home surely did. And then come all sorts of questions...Well, at least I am happy to say that for the week - yes, no classes, no lectures for ONE DAMN WEEK (and probably hell after that) - I'm staying at Kath's house downtown. Met her housemates and so far, they're really nice. Being downtown, I can't complain much, you see.

If my campus was downtown and I were to rent a house somewhere nearby, I would be happy and probably, lose a bit of my homesickness, say, 5%? I don't mind sitting at Starbucks and surfing the whole day long :) That should be a compliment to them, mind you.

Here, I can't really use my broadband 'cause the coverage ain't pretty good but they do have wireless so yeah, I'll probably get up early everyday and surf while they're still asleep la... Out of respect, yes. And shower in the morning. And find some place to feed myself off, yes.

Oh, did I mention quite recently how I miss THAT particular someone?

...'cause I really do...bite me!

Funny Little World

I'm back in campus and today marks the third day. H1N1 is certainly sparkling things up around here. I'm just grateful I don't have CO today, thanks to the flu.

Know what? I guess I'll pretty much spend more time either alone or with my textbooks this semester. Of course, the notebook won't be abandoned. What more, I brought colour pencils from home and a sketchpad so that should pretty much satisfy my Muse. She's been haunting me. Talking about my Muse, I think my courses for this semester would keep her in place.

Like I said before, I'm glad to see my classmates again because they make campus life less dull. I'm not really excited with my new roommates. One of them was a former roommate that I really click with last semester. The other two are juniors. One of them likes anime! I guess I can get along with her. The other one is a bit reserved...the annoying way. And I ended up calling "him" to complain about it...which reminds me really, I miss him...

My lecturers are all okay. They seemed great. Campus is a bit overcrowded now, what with the first intake students roaming about. If you know me, you certainly know that I'm not fond of large crowds. They really are suffocating me. No, I don't have agoraphobia. I don't fear. I just don't like it. Here. I don't. I like crowds, when they are my friends or family. I am a rather sociable person. The more we gather, the better. But here? No, thank you.

You might not believe this is coming from me (but then again, it is so obvious)...I want to go home. Especially since that someone isn't here with me in person, which is kind of hard. Imagining life without that someone is unthinkable...no, I'm not expecting too much (am I?). I'm just, you know, after all this while, I actually care for someone other than myself and that particular someone makes me care about others other than myself...yes, truth to be told, I only love myself before. Talk about being snobbish haha :)

And now, I like kids. I hate them before.

There you go, another random rambling.

Now This is Not Exciting

Exactly at noon today, which is surprisingly 15 minutes earlier than our scheduled arrival, yours truly is officially in KL now. And as I can see it, the masked-people has invaded Earth. But not really in M'sia. Most of us still walk freely as if the influenza thing never really happened. Got me thinking, are we either ignorant of the fact or immune to to it? Maybe a little bit of both, no?

Dad decided to take the bus instead of the cab. It's way cheaper after all and I don't have to hear the driver blab, which is a bonus. I can't wait to meet my classmates next week but frankly, that's the only reason I don't mind going back to campus. Come to think of it, that's the only appropriate reason for me to come back, that and some other personal ones like someone telling me that I should complete my studies for maybe a little more secure future. Hey, giving up is so not in my life dictionary - although I may complain much about this and that and whatsoever anything else.

What?

I have a life to attend to. Education is just one of the keys I need. And as far as I'm concerned, I don't have any problem with it. I'm starting to miss home already...

What am I to do in the next couple of hours, I have no idea. Stuck in the airport W/O STREAMYX is a total hell!

See Through

Dear blog,

I'm sorry I've neglected you for a while. I didn't mean to just leave you like that. It's just that...I am rather busy of late. Perhaps the thought of heading back to campus is haunting me. Tormenting me. There are so many things I want to say to him but I just can't. It's really hard for me.

Blog,

Excuse me for a little longer. I won't abandon you like I did the others (well, not really). I just need to settle something so that my soul will be at peace (on second thought, forget it)...

Yours truly

Okay! Enough with all the mushy crap! It is true that I've been quite busy recently, thanks to me procrastinating. And yeah, I seriously do hate the cunning fact that I've to go back to campus in order to earn my life in the near future...sheesh! I want to stay at home because it's where my heart is.

Oh well.

Anyway, most of my high school friends are in the WM. Does not make much difference though 'cause as much as I want to spend time with them, I can't. Double sheesh on that.
