3 Birthdays, 3 Movies and 1 Unforgettable Experience

I still remembered the good old days which everything would just come together. It was busy, but satisfyingly enjoyable and unforgettable. Well, because right now, I am gonna share with you all 3 birthdays, 3 movies and 1 unforgettable experience. (Yes, birthday gals, this post is for you; I know that you all have been waiting)

Elaine Birthday At Pizza Hut, Kajang

Just right after our second last paper - Heat & Mass transfer, we whole gang went to unwind ourselves. However, little did Miss Elaine know that , we were planning a surprise early celebration for her. Hahaha, as the "future-to-be-world-renowned-fashion-artistic-commercial photographer, I was able to catch the true moment! Elaine was really happy that day!!!!

Amirah Birthday At Kapas Hall Kitchen, UNMC

Yes, we just finished our last paper. Actually, we already planned a surprise for for her. But, since it was like a huge release from the exams and works, everybody went to relax to one of popular places in KL - MIDVALLEY. Therefore, we had to wait for her to return to the uni first.(Since we were also at Midvalley). Hahaha, then, it was surprise for her(^^) at 2.30 am in the morning.

Lih Chi Birthday At Basketball Court, UNMC

Then, on the same day, before Amirah's Birthday, we were enjoying the freedom from the uni. Haha, we went to sing K - - - - Dinner at Kaki Corner - - - - Movie at Midvalley - - - - Birthday at Basketball Court - - - - Birthday at Kitchen. Omg, it was crazy to do everything in a single day. Again, it was satisfyingly exciting!

Angels and Demons

It had nothing to do with Da Vinci Code The Movie(thankgoodness). Well, the previous movie was not that adventurous and the graphic was more than plain. Anyway,Angels and Demons actually exceeded my expectation as a non-related sequel. Everything was planned by a man who thought that what he did was for mankind. What I love about the movie was its element of surprise. It was so twisted and so intrigued to follow the pace of the movie. The actors were fine; but the priest played by Evan Mcgregor was a little bit fake. Personally, he could not convince me that he was a priest. The studyline was terrific; however, with only 1 killer/hitman and a priest, they can plan the whole agenda. It was a little bit not logical. Overall, this is quite a movie.

Actors : 3/5
Story : 4/5
Visual : 4.5/5

Star Trek

This by far, is my favourite movie of this few months? Haha, the storyline was superb with the theme of future and past. What we did in the past would affect our future! Of course, since it was a classic on the television, I expected it to be good. But, it was great! Chris Pine was the bad boy in the movie while Zachary/Sylar was the over-analytic Vulcan - Spock. Apart from that, one of the most surprising scene was Winona Ryder played the role of Spock's mother. I am her fan-cy woh....[here] . Then, there was the original Spock in the tv show played the future Spock. HAHAHA! The dialouge was quite funny.....

Why did you married mother?
Because it was logical?!

Actors : 4.5/5
Story : 4/5
Visual : 4.5/5

Terminator Salvation

It was the fourth installment of Terminator. It was not a disappointment; but, it did not really impact me like the previous movies. If you all remembered, I did a post on the Terminator Series to terminate insomnia[here]. I think that I expect too much from Terminator Salvation since Terminator 2 was superb. The cast was actually quite nice! But, the story? It was kinda bored! It did not have the depth like the previous movies, except for extreme-action and fireworks!

• Terminator 1 - The Excitement Began
• Terminator 2: The Judgement Day - The Climax
  
• Terminator 3: The Rise of Machine - The Downfall
• Terminator 4: Salvation - The Bottom?

Actors : 4/5
Story : 2.5/5
Visual : 4/5


After all this, I was still determined to conquer Broga Hill! Therefore, stay tune for Broga Hill and The Temple!!!! Overall, I had a crazy time after my finals. Yes, now, I am resting at home and planning my trip to Cambodia - Siem Reap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yellow Hearts For The Need

After a horrific journey from KL to Ipoh, I finally survived the road trip. Well, I woke up around 7.30am and tried to get to KL Central from Serdang before 9am. But, it took me almost an hour to reach there. Then, I missed the train to Ipoh. Then, I changed to Plan B - took bus instead. Anyway, KTM wasted everybody time!!!!

Anyway, right after I reached home, I had my lunch and met up my old friends at Ipoh Parade. Omg, it had been quite some time we met up! We did not really change that much, except

• Ziyang-Hmmm, 1 word - facial
• kahjoon - more tanned
• joonheng - still the same
• kahfei - also the same
• kokleong - he needs to exercise

Hahaha, really missed them! Some of them are leaving the country to further their studies overseas. Again, I wish them all the best with my heart! We shall be friend forever; keep in touch!!!!

Academic Poison ( The Meaning of Life)

A Post Inspired by news article from "The Star" where a student altered the SPM Results from 13 A1s & 2 A2s to 15 A1s in order to appeal for the scholarship.

I had gone through so many years of education in Malaysia. It was not tough, but what made my old days tough was getting excellent results for UPSR, PMR, SPM, & STPM. Well, these are the major examinations that determine the fate of a student.

If you did well in UPSR and PMR, you would have the chance to be in the spotlight like "American Idols"(^^). Plus, you would also be assigned to a more advanced class. Therefore, for some students, this would push them to score, score, and score their best in the exam. This is not the same for students who are not good in their studies. They are abandoned by their teachers~~~(Don't deny it; this is quite common in schooling days)

Then, here come SPM & STPM, these two examinations would either help you to get a scholarship for your course and get admission to a prestigious university or make your life difficult.

I was quite an average student who was quite fortunate to obtain a fair results for UPSR, PMR & SPM. (Btw, I did not take STPM, reason? Here) It had been 2 years since my SPM days. Well, it was one of the most devastating moments in my life. I was sure that I did not want to do STPM and just like any naive students, I though I would get a scholarship to study overseas. But, the truth was life was not that ideal; it was authentic than ever.

My father was also "drowned" in my problem. He wanted to study Sixth Form first, but, I stated my ground. Then, after a long and tired colleges and universities hunt, my father decided the best for me. It had already been 2 years.

Anyway, back to Academic Poison. As an average student, I know the importance of being honest. That student altered SPM results, to me, it was really pathetic - 13 A1s & 2A2s were not bad at all. I would salute her for having the guts to take up so many subjects. But, at the end, what is the point of doing that, if you are gonna cheat anyway.

We, students of Malaysia are poisoned with academically achievements. (I heard Singapore is even more "poisonous"). Yes, indeed, As can determine whether you can get a scholarship. However, if you have unpleasant personality, you would only do harm to yourself. I understand her situation; maybe, she was desperate to get a scholarhsip. I was desperate too. But, we have to face the fact that if it is not yours to take, it is fate!

That student should just summit her real results and let MCA do their stuffs - like go to the press or whatever. Now, that student might really lost all the chances. The mentality of getting excellent results is growing every day. Some students might even be suicidal if they did not get good results.

I would not want to "poison" the future with academic achievements. Not everyone is good in studies. Some are good in arts, writing, and etc. It is not compulsory for a student to run an academic cycle of life. (He did well in his studies - - - He got a scholarship - - - He graduated with 1st Honours - - - He found a great job as a doctor - - - ) I hope my life is like that too. But, again, sometimes, we have to be real in this world. Not everyone can stand the academic poison!
