The Bruno Mars Curse

A few weeks ago, I can't stop singing Bruno Mars's It Will Rain, because every time I sang it, it does rain. Maybe it's some kind of curse. I stopped singing that song after a while, part of it is because it's getting a bit boring, and the other part is because I'm sick of the rain. Because when it rains, sometime it floods.

People at the United State get snow on Xmas day, which was today, according to our Malaysian time. But in the tropical country of Malaysian, sometimes we get rain, and that's what my hometown got this year for Xmas. Another flood. Yes, it's not our first time being flooded. It happen once a few years back, it was during Chinese New Year.

New House

Financially, I can't afford a new house, yet. But I guess my favorite murder house will no longer be there in season 2. So, a new house, maybe? With the season finale of American Horror Story ended today, well, yesterday morning to be exact, I'm officially ran out of tv shows to watch for the remaining of the year 2011 (PLL will be back on Jan 12 though, so YAY!)

So, I wasn't really sure what this show is about. I just downloaded the first two episodes because Ryan Murphy created it and I'm not anticipating that the ghost will be any glee-like. After watching the first episode, I was confused, yes, the show is so sick and twisted, and sexy at the same time (Dylan a.k.a Ben Harmon was butt-naked!). I planned to give it up but somehow I decided to watch the second episode where the house was invaded. From that point on, I just got hooked on so badly to this show. People who knew me knows that I'm not a big fan of horror movie ot tv show, but I just can't resist AHR.

The Season Of Convocation

Well, it's not my turn yet. It's just that the fact that I'll be graduating soon has taken a bit of toll on me. This past 2 weeks has been like a roller coaster ride, so much has happen and my blog post can't really keep up with all of these events. Speaking of convocation, I actually attended my very first one last week, as a seated guest with a proper invitation. It was Benson's convo.

A Date With Arts

It was not my typical Sunday where I will mostly get nothing done and just goof around til Monday come. I actually had a date with, drums roll please, yes, with arts. I admire arts and those who associate themselves with art, especially where there's a good cause involved.

At Central Market

I can hear these walls singing 'I'm pretty and I know it' lol

Loves these two painting

During Human Rights Day, which is celebrated annually across the globe on 10th December, an art expo called 'Arts For Grab' was held at one of the art gallery at Central Market in conjunction with this meaningful day. It's not just an art expo, which usually involved starring and buying stuff that you like, you can actually help make a difference by signing some petition to help change and maybe save the life of some people who was unfairly treated and being ripped off their human rights.

Our Collective Memory

Red & White & All That's In Between

When we get older, somewhere in our 40s, we will endure something we call 'Midlife-crisis '. Well, though there's still a long way to go before we hit that milestone, I'm considering the situation that we're in this moment, a 'Mid-graduation-crisis',where we're on the ledge of letting our student identity, but yet trying to hold on to the best of it. So, sometimes we attempt to relive those moments all over again, and we did it yesterday, by going back to the lake. It was 2 years ago since we last came here. We came back.

Starry Starry Night

I'm conflicted. I'm self-debating whether to write this post in Chinese or continue writing in English. I went with the later because maybe it might interest some people who don't understand Chinese to check out this movie that I've just watched. But if you do know Chinese and you can read my English, then you must check it out. It's a Chinese movie, based on the same title as the book by the famous writer/ artist Jimmy, 'Starry Starry Night' (星空). Yes, it's another book turned movie flick, but not in your typical cheesy way.

   

Going Back To School

On the 2nd day of December, I went to back to school, the school where I did my teaching practice from May til' August, just to get a signature from the principal. I know I did promise a few students that I would drop by sometime but eventually that never happen even if it's just walking distance from my university. Now, that I did went back, there were only a few students there, doing running practice on the field, the rest are now on their holiday break.

Gosh, I remember those days where I thought doing teaching practice was like a never ending unpleasant dream, I wouldn't say nightmare because it ain't that scary, it's just tiring. For 4 months, I've been many things here: an illegal motorcyclist, a raging teaching dealing with some devil spawns, a slave to the school management and so on. Now that it's over, I kinda miss being all those things. Oh yes, the school mention here is called SMJK Katholik Tanjong Malim.
