You know, I'm more devastated about Yasmin Ahmad's death than I am about Michael Jackson's. (which is why you don't see me post/write stuff about the late King of Pop) Being in the Creative Writing course and having learn about the beauty of her work and how she overcomes this barrier we humans have towards races different from ours.. I mean, idk. Truthfully speaking, I was actually looking forward to working with her in the future -if I were given the chance to. Sigh.. Now I wonder who can be the next Yasmin Ahmad who is able to change my perception on things and make me crave and wish that everyone's just and fair and more open to everybody's differences. But oh well. Guess I have to accept the fact that she's gone from this world.
Anyway, yes. I'm perfectly aware that I haven't been updating much. Been busy busy busy like a bee! And when one's very busy, one can get super tired -which leads to my turning in for bed real early.
OH OH! Last Sunday's Liverpool vs. Singapore match was gosh! Can Singapore get any lame-r? 5-0?!? Come on! Shame on you Singapore! Sigh.. It's no wonder we can never play on an international level. HEH But OMG! I mean, yeah. Torres is hot and all and a skilled player at that but woah!
Nemeth! He totally caught my eye la seh! AHAHA (gosh. do i sound like a total idk.. 'eew' girl?? haha) Plus he scored 2 goals out of that 5! Cute and skilled -the next Torres, much? HAHA So, yeah. Ever since I watched that match, i'm kindof addicted to soccer. :P Asked my dad to get cable so that I can watch ESPN or some other sports channel or something but noooo.. He said I'll get addicted to the tv and watch it 24/7. Tsk! Like as if! Oh yeah. Speaking of addiction. Ryhan and Victoria (my lovely classmates. haha) got me addicted to Korea. Or to be more precise, Korea's 2PM. That band with all those cuties like Junho (!), Taecyeon (!!) and Nichkhun (!!!). HAHA Thanks alot, you guys. HAHA But oh well. I do have to admit that fangirling for them is fun. HEHE Okay that's it, Amni. Going gaga over Nemeth is bad enough. Let's not go crazygaga over 2PM, okay? :D
Oh, yes. Before I end off, I wanna add that ... Harry Potter was great! (okay i gotta admit that it wasn't as great as the prev movie but still!) Screw all of you who said that the show was boring and slow and lame yadayada. :P

Ok before I begin, vote for this guy -Josh Golden- to come to Singapore! HAHA (you can just click Demand it!) I know. Random and gawsh. This demanding thing is soooo not me, right? But well oh well. Guess i'm just desperate to hear him sing live. HEH Although, yeah. Ironically so, doubt I would be able to attend his gig/concert/whatever. HAHA Sad.
Okay so guess what? It's currently 3:33am right now. (omg cool or what?? 3 3 3. ahaha. okay whatever) Andddd.. I'm still not asleep. Oh wait. DUH. HAHA But cool, huh? Plus classes begin at 8am tomorrow. Baik ah eh, Amni. Tsktsk. HAHA (omg eew. minah-sounding :P) Kinda have a strong feeling that i'm gonna be late.
Anyway! Today was funnnn. HEHE Interacted/bonded with some of my classmates after school. Seriously, they're all weird people. I like! :D And to think two of them -girls, mind you- were burping -yes, burping- loudly in the auditoriums' study area. Sigh.. Am so proud of them. HAHA Okay, nevermind. Apparently, I find that i'm starting to make no sense at all. But wow! Oh wow! Yes wow! (okay whatever i know) It's 3:44am now! Okay. Gotta zap things up now. Went to JP to meet part of FMC -LY, Fah, Syai & Fnad- to eat and 'talktalk'! Omg. Never felt happier. Chey! But, yeah. It's been quite awhile since I actually sat down and chatted with LY and Fah especially. Gosh! Am missing JVS's staircase (the one outside 4c)! Our territory! HEH Oh sigh.. Those were the days.
Oooo! It's raining! Like, right now! And the room's all suddenly feeling all cool and has this homey feel plus my ears are plugged to Josh Golden singing. OMMAGAWSH! What a serene and peaceful and wonderful feeling I now don't feel like sleeping or wanting tomorrow to happen!

TADA!!! Above's the card I made for my dad. :D Yeah the fonts are kinda messed up and ugly but oh wells. It's really not bad considering the fact that I finished it all in 6hours? Yeah. HEH Gotta admit. It's cool, right?? HEHE
Yeah that's my doobish brother wanting the limelight -as always. Tsktsk! HAHA
Anyway! Wow. Poly life is getting super hectic~ Most of my days are spent in school or at home -in front of the computer.. To finish up growing 'project piles'. Sad, right? Yeah.. But, well oh well. At least some of them projects are fun. HEH
OMG! Am soooo in love with the voice of this girl -Gabrielle Aplin! Awesomus seh like, really.
TAT VV Brown
They have/make/create songs worth listening to. Well, for me anyway. HEH But you should check 'em out! Seriouslyseriously!

This morning, I promised (yes, promised) myself to rant (yes, rant) about Singaporeans who are oh-so-too-very-eager to board public transportations.
i.e. superuperkiasu peeps.
So, here I am.
About to finally let out the annoyance that has been stored in myself for a veryvery long time. I mean, really.
What's up with pushing and banging and shoving onto people like some excited wacko?
And oh gosh!
The queue cutting!
They're acting as though the first to enter the train wins the metal pole or something.
Gosh.
And poor little me in her signature black scarf and cute, twinkly eyes (heh) gets shoved and pushed and prodded.
Tsktsk! What a bunch of apeholes they are, no? HAHA
But, seriouslyseriously.
This morning, as I was on my way to school for that 8am class -yes. i know. 8am. soooo freakingeaking early, right?- the inevitable happened.
Yup. You guessed it.
I got mobbed and bullied by them.
You know.. Them.
Yeah.
So i've already positioned myself on the left arrow markings at Lakeside's train platform -patiently waiting for that train which was coming in 2 minutes.
1 minute left and all of a sudden, some sneaky chick -okay, no. she ain't no chick. heh- just slid herself in front of me.
How she managed to do that, Idon'tknow.
Cos let me tell you. There wasn't much space between myself and the man in front of me. (yeah. there was a man in front of me)
Toldcha. She's sneaky.
Anyway, okay.
I forgave her for that queue cutting cos of her sneaky, agile self but oh gosh oh gosh!
When the train finally came, she just had to elbow me (and the other poor souls) didn't she?
Although, really.
I didn't mean to be mean but I felt happy when she was later cramped in between two people with big backpacks.
Okay.
I'm mean.
And, okay.
I'm gonna end my rantings soon but not till I talk about that other chick I chanced upon yesterday afternoon.
Okay you know what? Nevermind. I give up. Turns out this rant-about-kiasu-peeps idea is not so much of a great idea. HAHA It gets reallyyyy boring, you see. And all this complaining just kindof publicizes them and puts them in the limelight -which is soooo not what I wanted in the first place. HAHA
OH MY GOSH ME GOSH! Looking forward to this evening! Gonna have a photo-taking party (chey! party eh) with some of my favourite people -FarahNad and Syai- and goodness garfield! I. So. Can't. Wait! HEH
By the way, remember about my wanting to showcase/tell the world about my poly grades? Well, yeah. Here it is. I got a B+ (78!) for Visual Communication aka VC -Yeay! C (63.5.) for Writing across Media Platform aka WMP -not yeay. B (75!) for Deconstructing TV aka DTV -Yeay! C (63.) for Creative Story Making aka CSM -not yeay. more.. yet to be known so, yeah. Pretty good? Bad? Youuuu judge. Chey! HAHA
Oh and yes. Remember the amazing card I wanted to make for my dad? Well.. it'snotquitedoneyet. Yes I know his birthday was yesterday! Yesyes so much for promising to make the most amazing birthday card in the whole of Earth.. But, at least I have till Saturday. So that leaves me just enough time to make the most amazing plus most wonderful birthday card on Earth. I think. But oh wells. Till Saturday then fellow Earthmates.
Watch this, dang it! Superuper cool. It's for an Olympus PEN Story thingy. I think it's an ad for their 50th anniversary or something? Yeah.

Guess what happened today? Fart happened. Yes. Fart happened. Seriously. I lost count of the number of times I kept cramping my butt and 'pinching' the butt hole just to prevent the collected, unwanted gas aka fart from escaping. HAHA (no i didn't let out any farts at all. seriously!) Okay okay. I know. Eeeewww! What exactly is the point/reason of telling you this, right? Truthfully speaking, none. It was just for laughs. And fun. And to also make the beginning of my post sound/seem much more interesting. :P (okay that sounded like a bad phrase.. oh wells)
Anyway! Lameness aside. Harry Potter in 2 more days! Woopee, much?? HAHA And gosh! My dad's birthday! In 2 more days! Not woopee, much?? The most amazing birthday card in the whole of universe is yet to be done! Ack! But it's okay. Am gonna work on it later tonight and on tomorrows' night and when it's done! You you and youuuu are gonna be the second (after my dad, of course. d-oh) to see/check-out my most amazing creation! :D Just be patient and wait, okay? Patience. Is. Key. HAHA (cm phm)
{10 minutes later}
Was actually thinking of announcing my first-ever poly grades (heh) and continue posting but, let's just put it on hold. Pressing matters are suddenly -and i mean this literally- ongoing in my life right now, I guess it kinda left me at a loss. On what to post. What to say. Yeah. Sounding abit emo-ish here but who cares. This things happen, right? It is life after all. And i soooo know i'm not gonna stay emo for long so, yeah. Seeya soon, alrightey? HAHA

How sad. The post started off with farts -which is an interesting subject, mind you- and look how it ended?? Tsktsk! HAHA Does this mean 'fart posts' no more? ack! noooo! haha

I want a TOMS shoe!
I especially want the tie-dyed, red one. No no. I especially want the flowery one more! AHHHH!
I want a credit card.
Now! -so that i can get these/those ah-mazing footwear :D Plus, if I (you you and youuuu too) buy a pair of TOMS, another pair will be given to a child in need of footwear! Seriously.
You (and I too) should all get a pair each. Checkout TOMS shoes.com to get one! :D (chey! cm advertisement pulak. ahaha)
Anyway! OMG! Someone please bash me up. Or bang my head on the wall/rock/chair/table or something cos I totally did not realise that my dad's birthday falls on the opening day of Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince which basically means that I totally forgot my dad's birthday is coming up. OH MY GOSH GOODNESS GRACIOUS GURVEDIL! (don't ask me what gurvedil means. i myself don't know. or do i.. hmm) What kind of a daughter am I?? Somebody tell me! Tell. Me. Somebody! Gahhsjfdhskjuidsghds. Tsktsk Amni! Tsktsk! So, okay. Whatever. Now that i've realized my mistake -which is a reallyreally good thing like, really- I shall make the most AH-MAZING birthday card known to mankind EVER. Just y'all wait and see. HEHEH
Speaking of Harry Potter.. Gawshygawshy! Can't wait to catch it! Bet it's gonna be as awesomus maximus as Transformers. No wait! I just know it will be as awesomus maximus as Transformers. :D
Oh yes. Remember my contemplating on whether I should open/make a deviantART/flickr account? Yeah, well. I finally made a deviantART one. OK, no. Let's rephrase. I finally uploaded pictures into my 5month old deviantART account. HEH
Not sure if i'm gonna publicise my page (yet) cos, really.
Only managed to upload 2 photos and they're still quite amateurishly taken. Seriously. Gotta/hafta admit that. HEH But trust me. This 'amateur' photo-taking will end and be gone faster than you can say "really?!". :D
This quote speaks volume cos it's super true. :D (sorry teachers! heh) Eitherway, quote taken from QUOTE BOOK.

P.s. Finally watched Pride & Prejudice (the one with keira knightley) yesterday and I gotta admit -even though i don't really want to- that it's a great show. HEH

Haven't been blogging much lately. Assignments flying in everywhere. Due dates blahblahblah. Even the unfinished assignments are killing me.
??? Of course the unfinished assignments are killing me. Whatthehills am I talking about??
But, okay. I gotta admit that this -as in this 'assignment haywire killing me' poo- gets me excited. And not just a little. I mean, A LOT excited. You get me there? I know. Weird. HAHA And then there's this tiny problem/situation regarding school which really, seriously just gets me on my nerves. On the edge, brink, tip of my patience. But I guess I have to accept the fact that this is all happening for a reason. Yes. A reason. Don't ask me what reason it is cos I myself don't know. AHB-VIOUSLY. Gahsjkhsdhdsfjh. I've lost my blogging touch, haven't I? No? Yes? Anyway, truthfully, this madness can be gone when and only when somebody gets me and eventually, gives me a box of butterfingers, The Selected Works of T.S Spivet book and a super cold, super blended iced caramel cappuchino from anywhere that sells good and tasty iced caramel cappuchino. :D Trust me. I'd love you for life! OK not.. really. But, yeah. I will almost love you for life. HEH So there. Just a tiny, short and sweet post here. Nothing more to say. If you're smart and is able to read between the lines, you'd know that there's wayyyy more than midst the eye. MUAHAHA! ;] Oh wells, it swells. See ya soon my baby bloggy and fellow readers. HAHA

The Shadow of the Wind By: Carlos Ruiz Zafon
2 books today cos i'm soooo happy! Not.
P.s. I don't blog much now cos I write them out instead of type it out. It makes me feel much better that way, anyway. -By writing my thoughts out, I mean. It feels much more.. special? Yeah. Eitherway, I still have the love for blogging and the internet. :D Pp.Ss. Ignore that new and moving profile picture. I just loooove moving pics now, don't you know? -It's the closest thing you can get to them life/live(?) moving pics in Harry's Wizard World. :D
Okay. I've ended this post since about 10 minutes ago but I have to go on again cos I feel the need to type out and talk about that freakingeaking noisy cricket outside my parents' bedroom window. Gahshsgdjhgsydf! Great. Now both my ears are ringing like mad. Somebody shout when conversing with me tomorrow. HAHA! Okay whateverrrr.

Went mini-shopping at vivo last Friday with FarahNad (!!!). :D Bought myself a Ripcurl mens backpack! (the bag designs for us girls were hideous! -at least to me. HEH) It's so pretty despite it being a guys' bag and it's in blue and yellow! Yes! Blue and yellow! Some of the many colours I love! Anyway, its blue and yellow design reminded me of graphic novels and comics or WATCHMEN in some way. Ohya! Farah was being such a menyams cos she owned 2 $25 vouchers from F21 and decided to keep reminding of that fact -like whatevs la eh. :P Psst.. she kept fanning them vouchers in my face. Psh! HAHA (ok lah. was just kidding. she did no 'fan voucher to face' but she did keep reminding me of its existence. HAHA) But oh wells. Kesian Farah. She ended up not getting anything for herself except maybe for a.. no.. herCanon 500D lenses pamphlet. HAHA I wanna watch this! MUST catch this in the cinemas. MUST MUST MUST! The trailer made the movie capable of being awesomus maximus. Plus the main characters -Charlene & Michael- are real life couples. Ahhh! Can't wait! Can't wait! HAHA
The selected works of T.S Spivet By: Reif Larsen (was contemplating on whether i should get this book or the bag but i guess you now know the choice i made. gonna buy the book next month! or next week! -or next next week.. when i have the cash. D: somebody give me money! chey! no lah. kidding)
And roights.. Just realized I used lotsa exclamation marks in this post. HAHA
Wednesday, July 1 22:06
I've officially changed my handwriting. It used to be thin and small and tall and exaggerated with curves -almost like a doctors'- but now.. Well now.. It's simple and cute and quite rounded. Nice! But it's still quite small. Yeah I know. What's the point of me telling, again? HAHA But, oh wells! I just loooove this new penmanship of mine. :D
So obviously, I'm back to the digital world cos i'm just itching to post something. Quite apparently, I haven't been updating much, have I? And I kinda lied to Natty yesterday cos I told her i've updated when really, I haven't. HEH Sorry, Natty! But, nvm. You still love me no matter what, right? Or so you say.. HAHA
So let's just say the first day of school turned out well. Even though today's a Wednesday and that two days ago -which was a Monday, the official first day of school mind you-, I was about 5minutes late for a 12nn lecture, mygosh! A 12noon lecture! And i'm still late! Dang it.
{T-minus 10 minutes later}
Oh! I have a guest in the house! Well, technically, he's my parents' guest so.. whatevs. :P But, yeah. I was making my own homemade bubble tea (won't tell you how!) when the doorbell rang and tada! The guest was right in front my kitchen door. My house has two front doors believe it or not. One connects to the kitchen and the other through my balcony. Cool, no? And i'm like dressed so unglam-ly in a faded redgiordano tee and now-faded batik pants. But I guess he especially, won't care cos truthfully, the guy's one of those insurance people. AHAHA! Gotcha, didn't I? No? Well, okay. Whateverrrr. :D
OMG! Take a look at this!
And this!
So cool roights?? Roights?! Now I'm thinking of pasting one of my bedroom walls with post-its and make a beach or fashion runway or a city scene or something. Gosh. The makers of the above videos are freakingeaking geniuses. Love them! Not. Really. Cos idk them.
Anyway! I keep putting my posting of Malacca pictures on hold so.. Here they are! Guess i'll let the pictures do the talking? -gosh. what a cliche phrase.
Mudskippers.. In case you didn't know cos you're.. dumb. :D
They were searching for siput, believe it or not.
This was taken beside a coffeeshop. Not that i'm unfamiliar with this kind of scenes. I am as they say Minah Malaysia (yg glamour and cool though!). HAHA
More tomorrow (maybe) cos it's superuper tiring to upload pics like, seriously! Anyway, forgive my bad photography -if ever there's any. HEH- and the quite bad picture quality. You know la, the lower the resolution, the uglier.
Okay peace out! Stop spending money on nuclear powers and bombs or anything of the like. Save the starving children and the poor people of the world by spending money on them! Please.
