Another reply to a reviewer...

Yup, you were right about the detention center, but still?

In any case if I get thrown into jail for this sort of thing, it'll make the news. Imagine: Young girl thrown into jail for speaking her mind... Or something like that. Not in Malaysia though. Our media would probably look at something else. The outside media though... :)

Well, that's all for now. See ya soon!

Addiction

I am currentlt addicted to three things. (In order of importance)

My boyfriend
Anime songs (more particularly the songs which Bee just gave me)
Gaia Online

Now, there is no reason for me to go into why I'm addicted to my BF, right? Good. BF.... *Drool....*

Ten minutes later

*Wakes up, clean carpet and whistles*

Ah hem!

Anime songs... because I like anime and I love the songs. They're just so... relaxing... and I heard Kurama's voice... Kurama... *drools*

Ah hem!

And Gaia? Cos it's anime and well... lots of stuff there besides anime. Got to go now so, BYE!

Leaders

Most youths today in Malaysia grew up knowing one Prime Minister. That's Dr. M. Say his name and they'll have something to say about him. Personally, he's one of the most charismatic, opinionated (I'm using that word a lot today :p) and strong men I've ever known. If nothing else, I admire him for his outspokeness.

I'm one of those Malaysians who will be very sad to see him go. He has done much to restore the glory (partially) we enjoyed long ago before we were colonized. The only sad thing is that he has not been able to get rid of the Malay's laziness.

I can't go into the special rights of the Bumis because if I do, I can be thrown into jail and be charged under the Seditions Act for saying such a thing. All I will say is, Get rid of it. We Bumis don't need it. It's not a support, it is an obstacle.

'Nuff said.

Ja!

Briefing and some titans...

Hie everyone!

Been a long time since I last updated my blog. Yup, the laziness bug has struck again. I hate it! *Screams out in frustration (sp?)*

Anyway, I just watched the movie 'Remeber the titans' which starred Denzel Washington. It's one of the better movies ever made but the fact that I came in late spoiled it a little for me. That was because I wanted to go out and have an early dinner with my bf. Hehehe...

It was also Bee Bee's birthday. Happy 19th birthday Bee! She's gone out for dinner with the others but I'm stuck here waiting for my mom. Ah well... :)

Hmm... In other news, they had the briefing for MCM students on the move to Cyberjaya yesterday and we finally have everything ready and prepared. Here are the important stuff:

Date move: 11 December, 2003

Transportation : Bus pass costs RM 70/80 per month, I have to go and check later. *Side note: What's wrong with this phrase: Kotaraya to Cyberjaya campus: 1.15 minutes Hehehe....

Facilities:We have food. Supposed to be cheap but whether they are edible or not is another matter entirely.

We are using the same computers there as we are now. I wish they would replace the MACS!! I HATE MACS!!!! *Screams again*

Does your laptop or any other gadjet have a wireless Internet connector? If not, get one now cos we are going to have free wireless internet! YAY!

Parking there: Unsure

Accomodations: Way too expensive for my taste, and if you feel the same way but still want to stay under the college then they will help you look for other accomodations.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. I would like to extend an apology to Miss Evelyn of Student Services. I'm sorry if I came across as trying to kill you. That's just the way I sound when I'm trying to project my voice. But you did a good job, though it was not enough for a bunch of 'opinionated' people like us.

See you all soon!

Women of great strength

Those of you who know me would know that I love my grandmother to bits. I would do anything and everything for here. There is no one else, minus my beloved boyfriend, whom I would give my soul for. She is not only one of the strongest women I know, but one of the most unique. She raised eleven children, eight boys and three girls, and six grandchildren, four boys and two girls. All of them single-handedly. My grandfather did not do much.

Just handed in an assignment yesterday, so I'm pretty relaxed.

I also did a radio show today, and it went okay, as far as I'm concerned. There were plenty of bloopers. You'd think that I would be able to make a show based on my favourite thing pretty well, but it didn't. Yup, it was all about anime!

Don't really have much to say. Ja!
