My mom left me this message on YM: "I'm on leave. I received letter from JPA. Call home, urgent." Chehh, bunyi macam takut jer I thought I was gonna be in big trouble. Luckily tak. Partially anyway. I still have to wait for another letter. But I don't want to worry about it now or it'll just spoiled my holiday mood. On the other hand, the whole family on my mom side, including from my atuk generation until the grandchildren generation, will hold a gathering at kampung. Makan-makan, borak-borak, get to know each other more. What a bummer that I cannot join... dahla I dunno my whole family all that well. Who knows I may meet somebody who happen to be my cousin or uncle? It may happen. After all I just knew that I actually have a step family after I finish high school and that man who come to kampung every Hari Raya is my 'atuk saudara'! Family tree are so complicated...

Just in case, I don't get to this blog until later. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I spent the entire day yesterday watching a Japanese drama. 11 episodes. From 4pm until 4 in the morning. It was a heavy drama: psychology, murder, love and the kind of stuffs which leave you guessing till the very end. Now my head aches and I feel like puking. I cannot even look at the TV screen anymore. I shouldn't have watched this kind of drama back-to-back in a day. Though the story is really good and I like it. Urghh, I feel so terrible and sick now....

It is snowing outside. What a beautiful night. A celebration after an impossible week of exams. It feels like Christmas already. Therefore, I have a special Christmas song for you!

LAST CHRISTMAS
Last christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying I love you
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My God I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

Ahh...finally I can hear the birds chirping and children singing. My liberation. My final paper ends about 3 hours ago. I am happy. Now I can a whole month vacation at this freakingly cold place, Madison. The exams are tough and I don't know how well I'll do but I refuse to worry about them right now. I am just excited that I can finally get rid of that Meteorology textbook I hated so much. But right now I am a bit lapar so I am gonna go have my dinner first. Later ya....

I have this syndrome: the nearer it is to final exams, the lazier I get. Worse, I am nowhere near panick and I don't know a way to cure it. Everyone else around me is busting their ass, burning their midnight oils preparing for the finals. Yet here I am, writing this entry, watching TVs, surfing on the Net and doing everything else except studying. Friends are buzzing me, asking me to go to library and study together but what I can response is "...uhh, I have other things to do. I'll let you know when I want to start studying for XXX." Rather pathetic? Go figure. All I am hype about is the OC next week special 'Chrismukkah' episode and the line of movies and TV series I've downloaded or ordered.

Kesimpulannya, memangla tersangat-sangat malas!

I feel so sick right now I want to puke. For the past 2 days, I have been watching gore, disturbing and whacked up movies I swear I am going to lost it if I see another sickening murder scene. Starting with:

(1) Better Luck Tomorrow - honestly, this isn't so bad. A story of a group of Asian American high school kids in California who are overachievers and are working hard on SAT to go into good colleges. An incident cause them to doing crimes to eliminate the pressure of "being perfect". One crime lead to another bigger crime and until they ended up killing someone by beating the guy's face with baseball bat.

(2) Suicide Club - a mysterious, disturbing Japanese movie that left you hanging in the end. An investigation starts when 54 high school students jumped off in front of a moving train. Sooner, a series of suicides occur, turning the case into a twisted theme: murder or suicide? No one can figure out what really happens until the movie ends.

(3) Irreversible - a French movie about a lady who was raped in a tunnel and how the boyfriend and a friend tried to get a revenge. Uniquely, the movie is done backwards, starting from the final scene and rewinding to earlier scenes bit by bit, hence the title. Every little scene is done in detail especially the way the boyfriend is murdered (beating his face with an extiguisher until his face is unrecognizable). This is where I lost my edge and wish I hadn't see it in the first place.

Jay-Z vs Linkin Park: Collision Course. This is one piece of excellent work. Super genius I would say, mashing up 2 different genres of music in a single show. To those who has not watch this, please do!

Other than that, lazy, lazy, lazy and busy, busy, busy. 3 more weeks before final exam. One presentation to go. Wish me luck!
