Musical Movies

Musical movies. How I love them. They have such nice songs in the movie and the actors and actresses could break into songs even though they are in a conversation. Sometimes it makes me wonder how would they be able to do that if they are in real life. Haha..Can you imagine each one of us start singing songs relating to whatever we are talking with our friends, right there on the spot? Makes me wonder.

Here are some of the musical movies that I have watched.

Starting of the list is Mamma Mia. This movie is based on the songs of ABBA.


Next movie is the one we are all familiar and crazy about - High School Musical. The recent one is the 3rd installment - High School Musical 3 : Senior Year. They have great songs for this movie and I kinda got addicted to them. XD

Another nice movie that I managed to watch was Camp Rock. I did not know the movie was on Disney Channel till my 8-year-old sister told me about it. Since I've heard about it before, I havent actually watched it. Hence, I joined my sister and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. Joe Jonas from The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato are among the stars in this movie.

Times Square

Final exams are finally over for this sem, with Moral paper being the final paper. What a relief! And now its finally time for the holidays to start. Whee!!

The plans for an outing before my friends and I part ways for the hols? During the exam period, we sat down during lunch and actually came up with some suggestions. After discussing, we finally came up with two plans :

~ Plan A : Go to FRIM in the morning and walk in the jungle. In the afternoon, go for a movie.
~ Plan B : If it somehow rains today, go to Times Square and have fun.

Today, I woke up early and I was staring at the laptop screen as usual, when Kelv and Eng Hong came online. At that time it as already 8am, but still they havent made their move out of their house. Weird! Then suddenly, I was told of the change of plans : Execute Plan B since it rained the night before. Haha

Eng Hong, Willz, Adrian and I went to Times Square via public transport and met up with Yap and Kelv there. We went for the amusement park and had a great time being dizzy. LOL...I know, with the heart condition of mine, I am not up for the roller coaster, tomahawk thing and also the DNA mixer. Just the sight of them made me sick to the stomach. LOL

Then we went to Sushi King for lunch and went for a movie - Quantum of Solace, the latest James Bond movie.

As for dinner, we went to KFC, where we reminisced on our journey in UNITEN so far. A lot of funny, happy, sad, stressful things were mentioned. We couldnt stop laughing to the funny stuff and I think all of us will remember them for a long time. Its a good thing to see us sitting down, talking and laughing. To me, they are part of my 2nd family here. They are the closest people I know. The journey may not have been a smooth one during this semester, with its ups and downs and rough patches here and there, but I guess things work out for the best in the end.

As we parted ways by the end of the day, I couldnt help but feel a bit nostalgic. A part of me wish that the day will continue forever and the 'magic' will not fade, but I guess that is just wishful thinking. Haha

To the guys : Thanks for the great day! I really enjoyed the day with you guys! Happy Holidays!

To those who are still having final exams, I wish you all Good Luck!

Characters

While watching animes, I tend to notice the cute guys in the story. Of course, people notice all the beautiful and pretty things around them. So I am of no exception. Haha

The anime I am currently following besides Gundam00 is Special A. At first, when I heard of the title, I was wondering what kind of plot the anime has. However, once I started watching, i got hooked and i have to tear myself away from the laptop! At the same time, I could hear the small voice inside my head screaming "Its finals!!!!!"

One thing that got me so addicted to the show is that one of the characters in the anime is voiced by Jun Fukuyama, who so happened to voice the character Lelouch in Code Geass!! I was happy and excited because I really miss Code Geass and Lelouch. Ok, in this case, his voice. LOL

I really do admire Jun Fukuyama. Despite having a voice that sounds so cold, he also voiced the character Watanuki in xxxHolic. Wow, I have never thought it was him because Watanuki sounds so different in the anime...sort of high-pitched. Haha...Can I conclude he's a talented voice actor? XD

Take a look at the two guys below. Don't they look a teensy-weensy bit similar? *drool*

Perfect?

We all make mistakes. It takes a lot of courage to own up for whatever we did to someone even though we are aware of the consequences. We lie to cover up our tracks, hoping that the person concerned will not know. During the process, we come up with more lies in order to cover for the lies that we told, but at some point, we do get tired of trying to think of lies to tell to hide what we did. The thing is, the truth surfaces at one point, and at that time, we do not have a choice but to 'fess up, even though it hurts the other person and risking everything including our friendship with that person.

Nobody is perfect. We all have our own flaws. Whenever we find that someone does something wrong to us and that person owns up and apologizes, some of us may find it hard to forgive that person. We feel our anger seeping through our veins, controlling our mind and then, we say things that we do not wish to say - harsh and horrible words start coming out of our mouths before we realize it. After a while, we cool down and start to think things over. We consider whether that person is deemed to be worthy of forgiveness. We consider the seriousness of the person's mistake. All these factors will help us to decide whether to forgive him/her. We have to bear in mind that all of us make mistakes and including that person. Hence, if the mistake is not that serious, we should give a chance to the person to change and to become a better person. In other words, we forgive the person and put in an advice or two to help he/she to become a better person and also a better friend.

Forgive and forget. Do not hold grudges against people. Its tiring! LOL

E2 Test

After days and nights of studying, preparing, sleeping and waking up, having weird dreams during the night before the test, it was finally time to face, what I could say, the crappiest test I ever faced!

First of all, why would I say the test is crappy? When our lecturer, Encik Abu Bakar told us that there would be 15 questions in the test, all of us were stunned. Total silence, as though an angel had passed by. I was about to vomit blood when I heard him said that. LOL...He continued, saying that we need to choose to do 2 questions out of 3. Basically, we have to choose to do questions on 2 chapters, with each chapter having 5 questions. So in total, we have to answer 10 questions, which is equivalent to 10 marks each and IF we were to answer more than 10 questions, we will be PENALISED!

Yesterday was the test and boy, he did remind us that marks will be DEDUCTED if we answer more than 2 questions. =.=''' What made me felt so dishearten bout the whole test was my lecturer wasnt being strict at all during the entire test. You see, we had our test in one of the big lecture rooms and since there were many of us, we had to sit side by side. Yeah, increase the chance of copying for some people. [Geez!] Even though there were some students DISCUSSING behind me, he din take any action at all. Soon, the noise began to get slightly a bit louder and yet he did not warn us about the consequences of cheating. WTF? To my left, two girls were discussing how to do. So tell me, what is the meaning of the test if people start asking around how to do, or rather they just look at their neighbours' solutions and just copy? *shakes head*

Sometimes I wonder, what do we actually gain from copying other people. Ok fine, you copy during test [like yesterday] and bloody hell, you cant do that in the final exam. So no matter what, its all up to you to solve the questions during the final exams. On your own! So why not study and prepare for the test? That way you will know where your strength and weaknesses. At least you know you have achieved something through your hard work and not by some dirty method, like copying. It disgusts me when I see people do that. Read my lips : It. Disgusts. Me.

To me, there's no point in copying. Its either I know or I do not know the answer. To me, people who copy are those who have low self-confidence. To me, people who copy are those who want the easy way out.

Some people can really be DESPERATE sometimes.

Desperados. Geez!

P.s : If anyone of you who are reading this feel insulted, I'm not sorry. Hah!

Uneasiness

What is this feeling i have been having since yesterday? The sense of uneasiness, the sense of fear. Is something bad gonna happen? I must be crazy thinking i could predict the future. But still,its nerve-wrecking having that kind of feeling.

Maybe its the upcoming test that is the cause of all this. Maybe, just maybe. It might be other stuff that are causing it.

Wish I could shake it off. Convince myself that I am just thinking too much.

Code Geass

With Code Geass : Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 done, the next most anticipated anime is Gundam00. After watching the 1st episode of season 2 which totally blew me away, it leaves me waiting in suspense and craving for the next episode to be released.

At first, i wasnt that interested in watching the Gundam series. I thought that its all about fighting with mobile suits and declaring war. That was then when my bro asked me to watch Gundam00 and he let me judge how good it was. Needless to say, i soon got hooked when i finished the 1st season of Gundam00. I then proceeded into watching Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny, which are the older series of Gundam. The plots amazed me and I soon find out that its not all about fighting after all! ^^
