poIntLesS dIscuSsiOns

1. You tend to develop a sudden urge of cleanliness, and start cleaning your room, folding your clothes, dusting your shelf, cupboard, table…
2. You’re not hungry, but you just feel like eating. You start stocking up on Rockys, Pringles, Mars, Twisties, Nestle Crunchies, M&Ms…
3. You have the urge to go toilet every 10 minutes.
4. You start volunteering helping your parents in household chores.
5. You have the urge to do some exercise: jogging, taking your dog out for a walk, swimming…
6. You have the urge to update your long-forgotten blog.
7. You start practicing drawing on any available spaces in your textbook.
8. You feel like sleeping immediately after you read the first line of your notes.
9. You start marathoning animes.
10. You have a sudden urge of writing psychotic fictions. >=3

this post is crap, but you can’t deny they’re unnervingly true… o.O

I. Loathe. This. Word.

so… let’s skip this topic altogether, shall we? >=3

nothing much happened, really, only…
1. i wrote Justice Denning as Dustice Jenning
2. i wrote ONLY half a page for each bloody question when the lecturer clearly stated each answer should be at least 4 pages long
3. i forgot all the cases i was supposed to cite
4. after exams, the examinor & a guy sitting behind me were having a shouting match in the exam hall itself.

yeah, not interesting at all. had a throbbing headache (NOTHING to do at all with me falling asleep at 4.30am the previous night, and getting up at 8am this morning), so went home sleep.

so, basically, i’m bored. i’ve been marathoning Seto no Hanayome & Romeo x Juliet
ever since I woke up. Lucky for me, Leo-chan’s online as well, and as expected of leo-chan, he’s having something up his sleeve for now~~~

ps: leo-chan, nee-chan will support you 150%!!!

pss: i LOVE psychotic novels/mangas/animes/movies. >=3

I WOULD write about what me & me kawaii Long Lost Brother argued about for over an hour here… but it’s basically repeating the "usual" stuff, and at any rate, u can refer to my previous post. so, i don’t wanna bore u guys with the details, all right? >=3

there’s just a tiny question i wanna ask though…
if u sit down, and think, logically, unbiasedly…

who on earth will turn down a person when she’s trying to thank him for helping her greatly, and instead, told her to get mad at him for not helping enough?

come on… is this NORMAL at all?

ps: lol, this is probably my shortest & lamest post ever, but i’m currently totally speechless. >=3

ok… firstly, i was sent to do an interview with MMU President regarding his opinions on our yearbook. Naturally, i was nervous and fumbled here and there, while cracking my head open to think of other questions apart from the ones supplied. But that went pretty well. at the very least, the interview was done within half an hour, though we waited for him for over an hour.

now this… is even more… MORE… nerve-wrecking and ridiculous…

i have a kawaii Long Lost Brother. Just like his nee-chan, he speaks english to his dad, and chinese to his mum. Just like his nee-chan, he talks crap. and Just like his nee-chan, he’s FRIGGIN’ stubborn.

i owe Leo-chan HUGE TIME. why?
1. it was my fault he was banged in a forum.
2. he introduced me freelancing, when i’m desperately in need of a part-time job.
3. he even taught me how to submit an application letter.
4. he taught me how to burn a bloody cd. >=3

and, earlier today, he mentioned about an anime, and was going on about how sweet the pay will be to write about it, and suddenly, he offered me this RM80 opportunity, EVEN though he was the one who brought it up in the first place. I was already at my wit’s end trying to think of how to repay him, and now, i’m even more indebted to him than ever.

we took ages to decide on this, in which we had to endure fellow SPBians, mosquitoe-spray, arguing the seemingly ridiculous RM80 thing, till we were about to claw our throats out and die, and then…

I gave up. LOL. DEFEATED by my leo-chan. come on, who the hell can beat a public speaker when it comes to reasoning and factual statements? even though i was absolutely certain my reasoning was accurate, in the end, i just dunno what else to say anymore, and had to give in.

but now… i’m feeling absolutely TERRIBLE for stealing a RM80 article from him, and he’s feeling guilty for forcing me into it. SIGH. somehow, i feel this calls for more online arguments tonight… T_T

(ps: leo-chan… if you happen to be reading this, let me state this clearly again.
you DON’T HAVE to be feeling guilty, because i’m THE one guilty for stealing your article!!! just… ADMIT IT!!!)

(pss: this post makes no sense at all… this world makes no sense either. AND FRIGGIN STUBBORN long lost brothers make even LESS sense… =_=")

ZOMG. I. HATE. CLIFFHANGERS. Just today, I received 2 possible good (no, make it EXCELLENT) news.

1. I’m getting my car back, after it missing in action for over a week.

2. I received a reply regarding my application to freelance.

now… that’s good news, right? How about if I put it this way?

1. I’m getting my car back, after it missing in action for over a week, but my parents are still having second thoughts about letting me back on the road. At 1st, things were looking good, what with me swearing on my Tippy, my Harry Potter collection, my HDD, my mp3, that i will NEVER, EVER speed again, and they reconsidering not to sell the car. BUT, as always, God loves me, and sent an angel-in-disguise (in the form of my ex-form-teacher, to REMIND my mum how reckless my driving was. Just now, right after i got my car back, i had to endure a 1.5 hour lecture from her, and everything started to go… slightly wrong. I kept my mouth shut, and continue praying for the best.

2. I received a reply regarding my application to freelance. However, I’m living in goddamn Melaka, not KL… and the editor specifically requested me to try getting books from her… I had to say ‘no’, which of course, is going to leave a bad impression on them. Did i mention that my application is still under consideration? that’s even better. T_T again, I’m wishing for a miracle.

and lastly… i still hate cliffhangers. *sob sob* be it good news or bad news, I want to know, and i want to know immediately. Not a day, a week, a month, a year later. The long wait alone is sufficient to drive me insane.

/me preparing to hang herself from a cherry tree…

When my friend called me at 7.00pm last night to ask if I had bought presents for Jack & Shu, I KNOW I’m screwed. Not only did I forgot their presents, I  even forgot to pre-book a restaurant. Aaargh~ the horror…

SO… in the end, we decided to bring these 2 go for a free dinner at the "Outer Space" cafe, or something like that. The picture above was taken just after we spent over 20minutes trying to decide between Chinese, Western or Italian Food. Clockwise from left is me, Jack, Shu, Spy & Lee. The birthday girl is Shu, while the day before yesterday was Jack’s birthday.

The food arrived and we fought over each other’s food. The desserts arrived and we… well… let’s just say that "overwhelmed" is an understatement. ROFL!!! God, the expression on their faces while tucking into ‘Deep friend cream brulette’, banana crepe was simply scrumptious. And apparently, my reaction after finding out they switched my dessert’s order from ‘cream brulette’ to ‘deep friend cream brulette’, AND helped me finish it up was even better.

I was left speechless. LOL!!! Who do we know will swap your orders without informing you, and later, help themselves, and better yet, offered me several slices of it, and you’re completely clueless. and only then, they said, "oh and btw, that was your dish." ROFL!!! only BEST BEST friends do that. ^^ Not that I mind. =p

That night itself, they decided to squeeze inside my bedroom. ALL 5 of us. It was a pretty tight squeeze, but none of us mind. All of us had fun MSN-ing each other stupid messages while in reality, we were just sitting next to each other. (blame the technology) Actually we planned to play "chor dai di", but i fell asleep close to 3am, and the rest of them followed suit soon after… (read: soon after = 6am).

This morning… none of us could get up. ALL 11 alarm clocks went off at 8.30am, but each and everyone of us just switched it off and dropped straight back to sleep. ROFL. Man, that’s why i LOVE my friends so much~~~

ps: ahh… sorry feeling dead tired now… i wanted to make this blog entry something hilarious, but… ok, fine. i suck. =p happy 20th birthday to jack & shu again!

Yesterday was EMiNA’s last screening… *sob sob* last time all of us sit down and laugh ourselves silly over Lovely Complex, Seto no Hanayome, Nodame Cantabile… (ooops, i did NOT miss out any title, did i? if i did, possibly because it’s not worth mentioning. ^^). last time all of us gonna order roti canai, telur, bom, chicken naan, teh tarik, teh ais form Infasha. last time all of us gonna chat till 1am ++…

well. For this semester, that is. what? u think forever??? screw you man! LOL.

our finals are beginning next week. one could tell by just observing the students walking around campus, bouncing off lamp-poles & tripping over dividers while they were busy poring over notes. i did, too. only my case was slightly different, as i was listening to mp3 while SMS-ing. come on, those who know me well, impossible you’ll find me reading & walking at the same time, right?

Lately, no, make it 3 days ago, i’ve been spending practically the entire day inside SPB room, aka SPR. why? apparrently, my parents decided to sell away my car. T_T (hint: reason? refer my previous post). you can tell that they’re seriously pissed. AND when they’re SERIOUSLY pissed, there’s no arguing with them. so… no car. SO, for the past few days, i’m practically begging my friends to swing by my house, just to pick me up. it’s way pathetic, not to  mention embarassing. But i’m seriously grateful for that. Hmm, i should buy them dinner or something…

so… no screening. 1 bloody month without screening. how the hell am i gonna survive this October??? T_T

ps: i wanted to list down more of similarities between me and my leo-chan.. but i forgot!!! gomen-ne, leo-chan~~~

Okay, so I study in MMU. I’m too stupid to get into any local Us, so… yeah. I’m in MMU. ^^

anyway, i registered myself in both EMiNA and SPB. EMiNA, in short, is a club which is dedicated solely (well, almost, anyway) to Japanese Animation. You DON’T know what Japanese Animation is??? ZOMGWTF. it’s not some bloody japanese cartoon, all right? omg. http://justfuckinggoogleit.com.my
there. click on the link, and search: Japanese Animation. that should clear things up. ^^

SPB, aka Student Publication Board, on the hand, is almost a complete opposite of EMiNA. How so? well… let’s just say it’s a society full of cool and intimidating people with superb command of english. sounds cool huh?

anyway, what am i doing here promoting my clubs… *slapping myself*
blargh… it’s been a weird week. i’ll just summarize it in point form, ok? ^^ lazy want type paragraph form lar..

Saturday (can’t remember what time)
stumbled into my Leo-chan, declared ourselves Long Lost Relatives, and had a Long, Long MSN chat to prove ourselves definitely related… ^_^

Sunday… entire day dedicated solely to Leo-chan too…

Monday (8.50am)
was cruising along Bukit Beruang highway, going at approximately 50km/h, when suddenly, a bloody brainless driver somewhere in front suddenly cut right into my lane, causing 5 cars to emergency-break instantly. UNFORTUNATELY, i breaked a second too late and kissed into an orange waja in front. i was just cursing my like when the driver got down… AND she’s a policewoman. oh fu*k.
"Moi, ngaper langgar saya?" *she checks her bumper*
"er… kak (i wished i called her aunty) tiba-tiba brek… saya tak sempat lar."
"ok, kasi saya ic awak, no. telefon awak. ok, awak nak bayar aku, atau buat report?"
"er… bayar lar…"
"ok, saya akan hubungi awak ye?"
"ok…"

9.30am
realised i’m late for my 9am class, decided to skip it since i’m totally not in the mood. so instead, i went and sat down at a staircase, staring off blankly. came back to my senses after bitten by a mosquitoe, and decided to go back home to check on forums.

3.00pm
reached MMU late again… had to queue up at CIMB to bank in a cheque… waited for a bloody hour. when i checked the time, it was already 4.00pm, meaning i’ve missed half my lecture. So, me (not in the mood anyway) decided to skip that too and head straight back home. Just as i was about to take a nap, my editor called.
"hey amber, u free 7.30pm tonight?"
"er… i guess…"
"great. there’s a beauty talk going on, and i want u to cover it ok? thx. bye~"
"…"

7.30pm
me sitting inside exam hall, looking like a complete retard, supposedly listening to a "Healthy Skin and a Good Life" talk by some random hag…
but instead the talk turned into a full biography of her 12-year-old son playing with paper aeroplanes.

8.30pm
i had enough. got up, gathered my stuff, and proceeded to lurk in SPB room, at which i received an SMS from a friend of mine, which DOES NOTHING TO improve my mood at all.

Further into the night, got pissed by some random idiotic person on irc, who just had to choose the perfect time to pick a fight with me. i got involved in some pretty heated argument, and the only thing sustaining myself is to ignore the damned channel and chat elsewhere.

Tuesday
Both my SPB partners, which were assigned to me to do an article on foodstalls in Bukit Beruang, just abandoned me to crap out the whole darn article myself. What started out as "oh, sorry, i have things to do, will do it later" turned into… Nothing. No replies, no e-mails, nothing. Now, why am i not surprised at all?

And right now, i’m feeling absolutely terrible for something i’ve done. i made some rather personal comments on EMiNA forums, and worse, i’ve dragged my friends along with me. Now, all of us (actually it didn’t concern them) are being scalded directly.

ok… I’m getting… sorry. i need some time off. no further post at the moment.

wow… it’s been ages since i last posted here. (no, make that over a year. >=3)
all right, i’m gonna start with what’s happening recently, since it’s utterly pointless to write about the past. ^^

just last Saturday, i stumbled upon my Long, Long, Long, Lost Brother online, while we were MSN-chatting. At first, i was merely thinking "wow, we sure share lots in common…" but with each further discussion, honestly it’s getting freaky. Here are some of the "Freakish Coincidences", as we like to call it. >=3

1. both of us are SPB reporters, both of us are anime freaks, and both of us are into PSYCHOES. (Ryuugu Rena FTW!)
2. both of us are twisted.
3. both our parents are going China at almost the exact same time.
4. both of us love entering Japanese restaurants, sit down, order nothing, drink free O-cha, and later get out. ^^
5. both of us were a prefect (screwed-up prefects, mind you. ^^)
6. both of us experienced traumatic past.
7. both of us hates the same person.
8. both of us feel articles on suicide cases totally PAWN articles on some bloody chinese reunion dinner anytime.
9. both of us are INCREDIBLY, insanely stubborn.
10. both of us are really interested in journalism.
11. both of us have editors called Liz.
12. both of our alcohol tolerance is EXTREMELY high.
13. both of us like inviting friends over to our house and camp over.
14. both of us ADORE books/animes/movies with BLOODY, GORY contents.
15. both of us, apparently, can’t draw. (but nee-chan still thinks leo-chan’s drawings are way better than hers. >=3)

lastly… both of us have a sick sense of humour… that’s why, he’s MY Long Lost Brother!!!

Long Lost Brothers FTW!
