    Spoilt for Choice?

    What will you do when you received your final results? Firstly, I will jump with joy and excitement. Next? Of Course, I will deal with my uni applications.


    On Monday, my friend and I went to college to collect our results statement. It was great to see KDU again after 1 month staying at home. What a coincidence! JPA juniors were registering on that day too. Definitely easy to spot them as they were carrying the poslaju letter. This really reminded me when I first came here. Now I'm a senior. Time flies!

    Next we took a cab to Subang. I thought that our fare would be above RM15. However when we reached Subang, I was real happy to see the meter stated only 10.30. My friend gave the cabbie a RM10 note as I was busy searching for 30cent. The cabbie was a great man- He said tak payah. One good tactic to get a discounted fare :)

    IPD was the first destination, Ms Penny; the counsellor assisted me with my uni applications. She was shocked when I gave her my final results. Hmm..as usual. The other 6 months, I will be doing stuffs like malaysian and moral studies and thinking skills. At last, I decided to apply 4 unis- Melbourne, Sydney, Monsah and Adelaide. ANU was out from my list coz I had to pay AUD 100. Hope to get my first choice uni.

    I followed my friend to Selset to deal with her uni applications to NZ. Later we had lunch at MC-D. To save our transport cost, we took the putra-line to Kelana Jaya. Hehe. Cheap- 50 cent only! Then, we took a cab to 1-U and spent 5 hours there. We really had a great time reading gossips magazines in MPH. We had dinner at Vietnamese Kitchen and burned RM 15 in my pocket. Finally, we took the feeder bus back to KDU hostel. I saw juniors shifting in. It was great to know them.

    Whew! To sum it all, I laid flat on bed.

    Caught your attention?

    Hey! It seems like everyday I watched the movie trailer on TV but at last I got to see the real Batman in cinema. The movie was great. Ok, I had to admit that the first part was a bit boring- stuffs about Bruce parents and life. However when the story reached the climax, it was dam exciting. Plus the effects looked real too. I will sure give an A-. Since the Batman Begins had made a good impression, definitely I cannot wait for his second movie.


    3 Reasons Batman Begins is Watchable

    1)Christian Bale is hot!

    2)Cool Batmobile!

    3)Cute Batman Suit!

    What do you think of the pizza? Tempting? Of course.Hehe...I cooked it myself. Since 3weeks of holidays, I had done nothing except learning some cooking skills from my mum. She is definitely the greatest cook! So what do I master from her? Fired rice, macaroni, pizza, spaghetti and baked some cakes too. I guess this skill will be extremely useful when I'm studying in australia next year. Thanks mum!

    "Fans feel cheated in six-car race"

    "The Dummy Grid"

    US Grand Pirx, definitely the worst race in history!

    As a usual F1 fan, I will watch every race and can you imagine that I waited until 2am and all I got was a 6 car race? Huge disappointment! Watching in horror as 14 cars on Michelin tyres pulled into the pit lane after the warm-up lap. Plus Ferrari was on the race-definitely hating it.

    Ok, fans and Indianapolis track officials were fuming after Sunday's farce saw world champion Michael Schumacher claim his first win of the year ahead of Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barichello to give Ferrari 18 championship points which puts them joint second with McLaren. Now Schumacher was 3rd on the overall standing, just 3 points away from Raikkonen.Hmm... fake points, I guess. With only 6 cars including 4 slowest cars on the track, Schumacher can only claim its first podium for the year-what a hollow victory for him.

    So who should be blamed for this race?

    Time really flies. It had been exactly one year since I went to KDU College. I can still remembered that the moments we are still juniors, so happy receiving the JPA scholarship, going for medical check-up, looking for grantors and getting all ready to study in a new environment.

    At that time, I was wondering what is UNSW foundation year? Never heard of it before and I was quite sceptical. Half way through the course, I found that it was very challenging and time constrain. Assignments, tutorial works, presentation and exams all compacted in one year. Moreover as a commerce student, I had to take 6 subjects while science stream only took 5. Never mind just one year only, right?

    Finally I completed the programme and the questions were all answered. I got my final results! Yippee! Although I did not get GPA above 9 like my friends did, I was still very happy and content with my results. Anyway who cares about the book prize and your friends’ achievement? As long as I meet the requirement, I will still be going to university like the rest. Now I’m busy thinking of which universities to go. After 5 months of Malaysian studies, moral studies and thinking skills, I will be flying. Australia here I come!

    Lying in the dew-filled grass
    Watching the clouds go by
    I think of all the years before
    And how they did go by

    I see my life before me
    All the good and the bad
    I see myself growing up
    And it makes me, almost sad

    To think the rest of my teenage years
    Are slowly rolling past
    There’s nothing I can do about it
    But hold these moments fast

    With the time I have left
    Before I face the other world alone
    I think of friends and family
    And the safe place I call home

    And to think in just a few more months
    I’ll be leaving this behind
    Wondering what the other world is like
    And what it has in mind

    I think of all my wishes and dreams
    Hoping that they will come true
    Still not knowing what is going to happen
    Or what I’m supposed to do

    But I sit and wait for the day
    When I’ll pack my things to go
    What will be out there for me?
    I really do not know….

    INTRO

    Last Saturday, went to MP with my old friends. It had been months since I last saw them.Really have a fun and great time.

    FRIENDS

    Swee Fung and Adelin

    Siew Sian and Me

    FOOD


    Guess what we have for lunch? "Pesto Meatballs Pizza" One word to describe it. Sucks....In TV they kept on advertising this pizza,saying that it is the best but in reality the chicken meatballs are way too small and it tasted awful.One slice is enough!
    MOVIE

    Watch Mr & Mrs Smith. My verdict: Not Bad. The story is cute. John Smith(Pitt) & Jane Smith(Jolie) are a married couple that is bored with each other and is surprised to learn that they are hired to kill each other. Neither of them knew that the other was an assassin but will soon find out. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt definitely made up a good couple!

    SUPPER

    At night, watched dvd-house of wax. Haha... 2 movies in one day.I'm a horror movie fan and find house of wax totally not scary. The first part of the movie is a little slow in getting along in trying to build character personality. The only problem is even after that, we still dont care much about them.But this is a horror movie right?
    CONCLUSION
    After all the fun and play, i fell sick. Got a terrible fever, flu and cough...hmm..what a day!

    Movie Marathon Week
    How do I spent my holidays?It's simple. Stay at home, buy the latest DVDs and become a movie addict. Watched these 5 movies in one week-Star Wars:Episode III, The Interpreter, Kingdom of Heaven, Madagascar and XXX...My verdict?



    Star Wars,Episode III,Revenge of The Sith:
    It is definitely amazing. From the compelling opening to the emotional ending, this film is simply amazing. Full with action-packed. George Lucas has finally given us an installment in the saga that is worthy of the Star Wars name. I love it.


    The Interpreter:
    Has a strong and good story line. Noicole Kidman yet again delivers a very powerful performance and Sean Penn is excellent. Probably two of the most acomplished actors give carrer defining performances.However it's more on adult politics. I'm not into that.


    Kingdom of Heaven:
    Overly, the movie was good.Some scenes were extremely beautifully shot (especially fights). The atmosphere was right, in the beginning – grey and snowy Europe of 12th century, later – the desert and the costumes were great. As usual,Orlando Bloom is cute.Simply like it.


    Madagascar:
    The combination of some of the actors performances, the selected music and the writing of the various jokes, made this movie fun for many.I love the character especially Alex-the lion. However I don't quite like the stroy line...If you want to watch madagascar, I think better watch shrek or shark tale.


    XXX,State of The Union:
    There’s not really too much to like about this film. I didn’t really like the casting of Ice Cube; he is no Vin Diesel and total not handsome. His performance in this one was rather poor but then again so were the rest of the cast. What makes this movie watch able is the action-packed story line only.

    One Tree Hill. I’m addicted! Heard a lot about it from friends but only got the chance to watch this TV series after exams. Believe it or not? I definitely got hooked! The story lines are good and the characters are so cool especially Haley, Nathan(He’s hot), Lucas, Brooke and Peyton.





    Casts (l-r:brooke, lucas, peyton, nathan,haley)

    Here is a brief synopsis about One Tree Hill: Lucas and Nathan are two young men with little in common, but they are bound by the dark secret that they share the same father. Arrogant and assured, Nathan is the star of the high school basketball team and hails from a wealthy family. Quiet and driven, Lucas is the only child of a single working mom. He is also a legendary playground basketball player. Years in the making, conflict slowly unfolds as the two boys struggle to come to terms with who they really are and a father who has chosen to live vicariously through one son, while ignoring the existence of the other.

    More Info visit: One Tree Hill Website

    Tips to enjoy your weekend: Tune in 8TV every Saturdays, 10.30 pm with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy One Tree Hill!

    An E-mail from a lecturer to the students

    Dear all,

    Hello. How are you? After exam, right… everything should be fine… Relax. Result will be released 2 weeks from the week of exam… Worried?

    Anyway,

    I would like to mention to you that Ms. Sathya would like to call for an urgent meeting on 13-June-2005 (Monday), 11:00am, 4th floor room.
    It is compulsory for all the sponsored JPA students.

    Please email back to me to confirm attendance.

    Thank you.


    What will you feel when you suddenly out of the blue moon got this e-mail from your lecturer?
    Pathetic! See this statement: "It is compulsory for all the sponsored JPA students". Again and again JPA students. Definitely a holiday spoiler. Calling us back to college during the middle of the holidays? Why can't the college let us enjoy our day peaceful? They already created so much havoc by pushing the final exams earlier and earlier by 2 weeks. Moreover not to mention that the college already told us all about the Kem Bina Negara thingy. So now what are they going surprise us on 13June? Exam results? Let us wait and see.
