Choices

by with No Comment eventsfamilyholidaylistmoviesopinion

Watched “The Incredible Hulk” today, at the insistence of my brothers, coupled with the refusal of my sister to sit through “Kung-Fu Panda” and the lack of anything else to watch. The movie was LOUD. Had to stick my fingers in my ears more than several times. The only saving grace was Edward Norton, who I like anyway. Liv Tyler, oh my god, breathy voice is annoying!

Tomorrow I have so many things/places/events lined up that I need to choose from:

Urbanscapes
RA FlashMob
Butterfly Park with Nada and Sumeyra
Watch “Wanted” with Aziza
Go Out with Ayesha (can be combied with aziza)
Help my brother with his gift shopping
Accompany my other brother to some Post Grad education Fair in KLCC – can be combined with gift shopping with lil bro..
Stay at home and clear out my messy room

Honestly don’t know which one i will pick..(or can actually go to..)

The should be’s of life…

I should be cleaning up my room, and the house.

Cats should be allowed in our household. Then I won’t have to spend hours staring out the window at my neighbor’s cute cats.

People who play computer games loudly while other people are trying to study should be more considerate.

My sister should be cooking more than just fried fish. And she should cook more. She’s not doing her fair share of chores.

The Land Surveying Notes should be online, but not all of them are. My exam is on Wednesday.

I should be studying and not editing my blog layout.

the movie marathon-ing

by with No Comment holidaylistmovies

So far in the holidays i have watched:

The Spiderwick Chronicles – better than i expected from a nickelodeon movie

The Jane Austen Book Club – hmmm….it was interesting i guess

27 Dresses – james marsden!! – what more can i say?

Win a Date with Tad hamilton – topher!!!

Becoming Jane – did not live up to my expectations. it was just ok

In America – loved this movie!!

Catch Me If You Can – it was based on a true story, mustve been some kinda life!

The Kite Runner – Great Great movie

Anna and The King – lotsa malay actors in this movie. therefore their accents were malay, not thai. looool tom felton as a kid is exactly the same

Juno – eccentric, funny goodness, just the way i like it

The Bourne Identity – the book was better but more confusing…

movies i have lined up:
the bourne supremacy
the bourne ultimatum
the wind that shakes the barley
crash

what else is there to do? i finished reading all my new books and also my new magazines. like the day i bought them.

Has the holiday started yet?

by with No Comment drivingexamsfriendshealthholidaylistplan

assuming i have finished writing all my exams, which i have, then yes, they have started. but i have so many things to do.

1. clean room – half done today
2. clean hostel room – half done yesterday
3. prepare ala’s surprise video thingy
4. arrange our studio for accreditation (? what if some people dah balik kampung?)
5. buy gifts for two special people
6. buy munchies for port dickson
7. pay ilham gas money for port dickson
8. basically get stuff ready for our port dickson trip aka ala’s surprise kinda bachelorette party
9. heapful of laundry to fold
10. go to my driving class

among other things. haven’t been out in ages, and lately i’ve been getting really massive headaches that are triggered by anything a bit too strong for my senses, like day before yesterday the sun was shining in the morning and my head pounded the whole day. then some bad smells leaked out from the kampung drains and i was spinning for two days. ugh. hope its not anything seriously wrong with my brain – i have hypochondria so i think the worst things are happening to me whenever something is wrong (all the better to be prepared right?) but its better not to say what i think…
