I love movie marathons. Or simply, i love spending time with myself. As in, alone. Well practically, the holidays just ended and we're off to start another dreadful semester. As always, the end of the holidays signifies another semester full of tests. Though there are things to look forward to at times, but still the tests triumphs them all. Not to mention i won't be able to make time for myself after this weekend. Well, let me not be that sadistic from the beginning. Let's talk about happier things!!!

For starters, AVATAR. I know it has been ages but I only managed to watch it a few days ago. It was good but not phenomenal like Titanic (it was directed by James Cameron, the director for the legendary Titanic), and I still preferred the end of the world sort of movie like 2012 than Avatar. Don't get me wrong. It was really good. It's just that I was deeply struck by 2012. The story sets in Pandora, which has a valuable mineral called unobtanium, and it is this unobtanium that attracted the human beings to venture out to Pandora in the quest to exploit the mineral. However, Pandora is inhibited by the Na'vi, and Jake Sully is given the task to infiltrate the Na'vi and get their trust. Finally, Jake understood the ways of the Na'vi and began to develop a certain kind of respect to their culture. And he's torn between his initial mission and his love for the Na'vis.

And not forgetting a sneek peek =)




But then I have a question, isn't Neytiri and Tsu'Tey involved in some sort of engagement-like thingy? Then how come Neytiri can be with Jake?

I've been busy browsing online boutiques these days but i still have some doubts on buying clothes online worrying that it won't fit and all those things. It's a good thing though, being that there's a huge hole in my pocket due to new year shopping. Dresses are love currently and they are really expensive. I've tried a couple that day and 3 of them were simply gorgeous but of course, the price tag made the trick. I would really die for this:



It costs rm140. Sigh.

And last but not least, meet the new love =)



 

Kim Hyun Joong   

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 !!!

This gives me goosebumps. Kobe Byrant as the MVP.



And this too.

 
An overdue post indeed. It was 2 weeks before finals and yet, we decided join the craze and went for the grand prix. So it's a strikethrough on the wishlist as I have longed to go for ages.
We went for the qualifying and also the race day. 100 bucks ticket not wasted at all.



The enthusiastic bunch finally reached the Sepang International Circuit after an hour drive. We could hear the engines all revved up even before we reached and obviously that made us all hyped up!!



Not much happening on Saturday though. However, we managed to explore the place and got our earplugs. Earplugs are essential. It didn't occur to me that they were necessary before that. Not until you get all those PAINFUL goosebumps all over.

Gate 5 which the our gate, as in the gate we all entered for student priced tickets.



And this was what we saw right after. The Ferrari Flags. Which actually costs more than 300 bucks. I would loved to own one myself.



I swear the sky was definitely more beautiful in Sepang.



After the qualifying session, we went to get a glimpse of the pit lanes. Ferrari's pits.



The crowd during the race day. Most of them were foreigners. Not forgetting many HOT foreigners there were.



The drivers first hand!! Kimi was looking down to my disappointment. They were doing a pre-race drivers parade. We can Jenson Button clearly though.



Husband and wife supporting Ferrari and Mclaren variously. Look how rivalry can be put aside for love. Awww.



The sleek Ferrari of Felippe Massa!!!



And Brawn. Striking colour of white with shades of green.



The group. Melvin, Siao Wei, Jessie and ME.



Nearly half way through the race, the sky suddenly turned black. It was always likely to rain in Malaysia during the grand prix, but what followed was totally unexpected. The race was red flagged after 32 laps. Something which I've never observed from my experience as a Formula One fan. Jenson Button who was leading at the moment was crowned the winner. However, he only received half of the full points as they did not complete the race.



We rushed to the grand stand to watch the trophy giving and champagene ceromony on the podium.
This was the best I got. It was CROWDED and I was behind a pole.


 
After everything was over, many weren't satisfy as the race halted half way. Many rushed into the pit lanes and we just followed the pack. And it was totally worth it. We got good close up of the garage and all.





Basically, the whole experience was overwhelming for me. There were advices from friends saying we couldn't really see much of the race but I guess it really depends on where you are sitting. We were sitting in front of the screen so it was like watching at home and our sits had 50% of the track's view. The bonus was we managed to experience the live conditions- the thrills, the disappointment and of course the rain, the crowd and EVERYTHING. I would definitely recommend all fans to try it out. Again next year? I might you know.
A VERY PLEASED ME

 

My roomie and I was super excited about the Earth Hour, so we decided to switch off our lights.
Sad to say that many weren't willing to join us for Earth Hour as we have a test on Monday, which is today.
But anyway, it's kinda cool that for the first time ever,
it seems to me that a lot of publicity and effort was put into to create awareness among Malaysians.
The Earth Hour campaign resulted in electricity consumption decreasing by 550MW can you imagine!!!
It's also cool in the sense that we are able to appreciate electricity and we came to the realization that we can't live without electricity.
We can wait but the Earth can't wait any more.
Do your part to SAVE THE WORLD!!!

 

I woke up looking so ugly today.
Just finished my Pharmacological test.
I'm test-free for almost a fortnight.
But there are 2 presentations, no 3 to be exact, and one more test till finals.
This sem has all been about presentations. I guess we're all presentation pros by now already.
Anyw, I'm currently reading Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren. *courtesy of Wan Yu*
A great book actually, which requires a little bit of determination because you're theoretically allow to read one chapter per day which is around 4-8 pages.
The purpose is to let you really think and ponder upon the words of the book
and in the end you'll know your purpose in life.
Focusing on ourselves will never reveal life's true purpose.
Your life is not about what are you going to do today, where will you be going today, what will you eat today sort of things because all of that has been planned before you even know what is eating.
Those are not really what we want to do but those are things we must to survive here and now.
So, those are not what we live for.
What are we living for actually?
What is your purpose in life?
