Natural Endowment

Got up this morning & felt like there was a huge rock stuck in my throat. I think I almost died when I first coughed. *Sobs* LOL, I suddenly thought of Ke$ha's song 'Tick Tock' after writing that. Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy, grab my glasses I'm out the door I'm gonna hit this city. Right. Lets just forget about the flu for a while, as much as it is eating the heck out my soul.

Ouh, gold snicks :) She seems to digg the drunk look, like the chicks in Cobra Starship's 'Hot Mess', epic video. I love her messy hairdo though. Is the dude with the mullet in her video, Simon Rex? Just wondering, because he does have that resemblance. The mullet dude's a hotty, haha.

I'm actually still waiting for the Malacca pics from Tasya & Zetty :) The trip was a blast. As short as it was, I loved every moment of it. Hoping to blog about it as soon as I get the pics. The actual reason for this post was to share a video from the dude whose voice always, ALWAYS makes my day.



Sam Tsui ♥ & Kurt Schneider.
Gotta love his version of Rarr rarr Ra-a-aah, Roma roma-ma-ma, Gaga-oohh-lala. HAHA.
Played this video while we were watching The Biggest Loser Asia repeat in the living room. And everyone immediately turned to look out the window, because they thought someone was at the door. LMAO.

Anyway, both Sam & Kurt have recently been recognized by the media. They were on The Bonnie Hunt Show a few a months ago. The crowd loved them, no doubt. They're both childhood friends, and the only two guys from their high school who managed to get into Yale. Sam's actually part of The Duke's Man of Yale choir, just like Anoop's Clef Hangers. I personally prefer Clef Hangers though. They've got more soul ;) The thought of knowing about their videos before they're all famous & mentioned on TV, is pretty fulfilling :)

Dadsterz' finally back from Aussie & he got us dozens of chocolate bars. Weeee :D
He told us about how supermarkets in Aussie actually make the effort of saving the earth by encouraging shoppers to bring their own bags for the stuff. If you don't have your own bag, you'll have to pay for the biodegradable plastics they have prepared. Impressive much?

Roof Squared

YES! Back from Malacca :) Right now, sick, sick & SICK. Today, random shizz.

First of all, I met up with Sarah to work on our thesis at the faculty library as planned. However, from the beginning of last weekend's Malacca trip, I caught a cold & been dealing with the flu ever since. Recently it got worst. Can't even breathe through my nose. Been using up a WHOLE LOT of tissues. The running would not stop!! :'( My eyes are constantly watery. Basically, my face looks like I'm high on crack. I can voice-over Sean Penn as a surfer dude, "Like whoaa, like duuude", and it'd totally work. My voice can sell records, maann.

Anyway, in the library there's this special room that has a record of thesis papers by students of the faculty from previous years. The rule is that, we're not allowed to bring the materials out of the room, not even in the library itself. It has to be read solely in THAT room. While I was in there, my nose decided to go all hurricane katrina on me, & ran out of tissue. I got up to head to the restroom, without realizing this HUGE puddle of water in front of the exit door of the thesis room, I have no idea who the heck spilt it & AWESOMELY left it there. My first step forward turned into a high-speed slide & BAM! my butt hit the floor HARD.

For some reason, I'm always laughing at myself whenever I fall or slip, etc. Sara must've got the shock of her life, when she heard the HUGE impact of my butt to the floor. Like an earthquake. She was like, "OMG, Qila are you okay?!". All I could do was laugh & cry at the same time. I was just thankful that my pants weren't drenched, & no one saw the fall! I think there's a CCTV in the room, which is life rewarding, thanks a lot -__-

After campus, headed out with Tiqah & Farah to Amcorp Mall to check out something Mumzay told us about. We ended up having our own little vacation there & dined at Atap Atap, this Thai restaurant near Giant. It was my first time there, after hearing a lot about it from Farah who has practically made it her second home. WORD.

The restaurant definitely lives up to the talks about it being good & all. Tried the Beef Noodle Soup, which was dainty as heck. The picture says it all, it's what enticed me in the first place anyway ;)

Tiqah & Farah had the Sambals. Cuttle fish & Ikan Kembung respectively. Looked mouth-watering, but with my nose situation, that'll have to be in my next order during my next dine there :) The weird thing about their Cendol was that, the bowl was barely stirrable due to the towering snow & the brown sugar was at the bottom of everything else. Minus points for that.

How long is this flu going to be with me? Any suggestions on how to tell it to leave me alone without hurting its feelings? HELP :'(

Excitement Overload

We're already going to be hitting the road tomorrow & I haven't even packed yet! Was just reading Zetty's blog about our trip tomorrow, & I'm extremely excited about it. Although it may seem like the most micro-mini trip ever, but we have been planning this for weeks now. After all the conferences, haha. We're going to be staying at Fadi's place in Malacca. I seriously can't wait to hangout with the most awesome beings ever created :) :)

Loads of clothes to wash with the hopes of it drying up by tomorrow, haha.

Sorry Matahari

I've got about 15 minutes till Earth's gift, what we live for, I can feed on :)
And maybe approximately seconds after completing this post. Yup, fasting today. Hoping to replace the days that unavoidably turned to Mars during Ramadhan *wink*

As of now, I haven't even the slightest, made the effort to step outside of these walls to check on the world today. The moment I woke up, the sun had been up for quite a while. Crushed I was, for not accompanying it on it's journey up. Fortunately, I WAS around when it was on its way down. Was with Reda watching a break dance documentary on Star Movies. One of the varieties of success from the perspective of others. Impressive.

5 minutes left. Why in the world is there a countdown? Stop it Qila. Fasting today has been dry. Dry directly goes to my lips. And dry lips directly operates the hands that could not resist peeling. I think I murdered my lips today. And just found out that the menu tonight consists of a lot of SAMBAL. Youwch.

1 minute left. Sorry, couldn't resist the countdown.

My Sister's Keeper

I have no idea why this movie never came out in Malaysia. Pretty curious about the procedures they go through to preview all the movie selections and deciding which ones get the pass & reject. Stayed up really late last night, thinking I was going to watch 500 Days of Summer at first, but ended up watching My Sister's Keeper instead.

Recently family-based movies have been prone to draw the audience in. At least I'd like to think so. Or maybe it's just me, because the typical male-female "love", "relationship" based movies are just too common nowadays. Not that they're bad movies, I still enjoy them just as much. It's just that people's love-conscience as I'd like to call it, needs a dose of new air.

This old, unrevived air is why people unfortunately have this mindset that their lives would suck if there's no guy or girl to be attached to, to share it with. LOL. Very sad. Why not, enjoy an on screen bond/romance, watch a bunch of other genres too, and just feel good about where you stand realizing there's waaaay more to life than just that :) As galactically cliche as it it :)

Anyway, My Sister's Keeper is about this family whose daughter, Kate was diagnosed with leukemia when she was about 5 years old. Having been told the thin chances of finding a matching donor, they created an in-vitro baby, Anna having everything genetically matched with Kate. Meaning in the future when Kate will need blood, or bone-marrow, kidney, etc. they'll have Anna to directly get it from.

At the age of 11, Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation, as they found out that Kate needs a kidney transplant. And so the story basically goes back and forth showing the present, and how things happened in the past. I absolutely love this movie. I like how the movie portrays the thoughts on the family's life & situation from the point of view of each family member. How Anna battles the thought of saving her sister & wanting a normal life. How Kate feels bad that the parents' attention has been so focused to her, leaving out her other sibling who's dyslexic.

Based on the book written by author, Jodi Picoult. I've never really read any of her books. But now that I've at least seen something that's a product of her work, I'd definitely be considering her books when I shop for my next stack :)

A good watch.
