If you’re a fan of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Freddie Highmore, and you’re into music, you should watch August Rush. This movie has been nominated in the Oscars. All I can say is it’s worth to watch though I got emotional over it. Thanks to Michelle who recommended me this movie. And thanks for making me go cryin’ like a baby. 
“Music is all around us, all you have to do, is listen.”
A: You makan dinner dy ah?
B: Makan-ed but still hungry..

JC: Eh Mi, faster wake up! Got people at our window here la.
Mi: Ha? Why? What people?
JC: Got a guy climbed at the roof la. Faster see.
Mi jumped out of her bed and check out the time.
Mi: What time now? 1145pm?
JC: He sure want to curi barang.
Mi: How you know got people there?
JC: I can smell perfume ma, I thought it’s the girl in the other room came back. Manatau I heard like a cat walking on the roof la. Some more the curtain you clip there jatuh ma. Sekali I turn and see the window, got one man there know!
Mi: Then he saw you or not? (JC turned off the lights and was ready to sleep.)
JC: He saw then he angkat his tangan like say sorry like that.
Mi: Sorry what? Crazy ah?
JC: Ehhh come come come and see. He climbing other people’s house la…!
Mi: Where where? Cannot see also.
JC: Yerrr, how to sleep ah if like that? Damn scared la..
Mi: I also very scared, until I don’t know what I wanna do now.
JC: Better you keep your laptop, near the window only, I think he wants to take that also. Luckily your phone is far, if not sure taken dy.
Mi: Yalor yalor. Eh, we turn on the lights and sleep la.
JC: Later he can see us sleeping wor.
Mi: Windows closed dy ma, cannot see wan. I get ready the aerosol insecticide spray first, he comes some more I terus spray on this face.
JC: Ok ok.
_____________________________________________________________
Panic as we were last night, we couldn’t sleep. JC has been in and out the bathroom for several times, worrying the man might come back. I was a little blurred because I was already sleeping and didn’t expect things like this would happen. My heart was thumping so hard as if I was captured by an monster. Lying down on the bed, all I could think was how brutally I would attack the man. I thought of stabbing his hands using a pair of scissors, while spraying the insecticide in his eyes.
At another point, I thought JC had some illusions. You know things like scaring ownself. She’s the only one who saw everything, the man, the curtain, the smell of the cologne. I didn’t smell it when she noticed the smell again. When she asked me to look over at the other house where the man was climbing, I couldn’t see any. Perhaps I shouldn’t doubt just because I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
Sigh, precautions are much necessary right now.
A: Them? Who?
B: Those people working at the Chinese food shop in Section 14 (opposite Kemaman Kopitiam).
A: Eh seriously? Why?
B: Inspection by MBPJ. They said the premise and the workers are not clean.
Food hygiene is the most vital in our daily lives. The definition of ‘food hygiene’ can be varied from one individual to another. Workers, food, cutleries, plates, bowls and pots and place where the stalls are located are factors contribute to the cleanliness of how food is served, also one of the requirements that the local council has set in the list of rules and regulations.
About 6.30pm yesterday, my roomie and I decided to walk to the opposite food shop to get some dinner. To our surprise, the shop is closed and there is a stripy red/white string tied around the pillars. Two pieces of papers were sticked at the shutter and it says the shop has been closed down for 14 days by MBPJ for not being clean.
It’s totally unexpected. I thought mamak stalls like those by the roadsides are even more dirty. Customers sitting by the drains, sometimes you can see rats crawling about. (Eww, isn’t it?) How come they aren’t being closed down?
We thought the food is clean all this while. No news about food poisoning, no rats or cockroaches crawling everywhere, nothing at all. It was fine as I have been eating since day 1 I came here.
No more nice food for two weeks. Sien.
CM: How did MPSP use up RM226m from 2000 to 2007?
Bernard Cheah and Opalyn Mok
BUKIT MERTAJAM (April 22, 2008): Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng wants the new Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MPSP) councillors to find out how MPSP’s reserves depleted from RM266 million in 2000 to only RM25.6 million last year.
“This is a surprising and scary figure, for money to disappear in such a short period,” he said at the swearing in ceremony of 23 MPSP councillors here today.
Lim said it would be challenging for MPSP to be financially sovereign and a good financial establishment, but he is positive that the MPSP can pull through.

What I think?
Only 10% left? That’s only like MPSP, mainland’s municipal council, and mainland is like a small town! Do you need that much money? Let’s see what they do with the money.
Local Council Building at Bandar Perda, Bukit Mertajam (see how luxurious they workers could be)
Are they paying high for those people work inside the building? Do you think the whole building is occupied?
This is the new building. The old building which is located beside the Mahkamah Seksyen along Jalan Betik is being abandoned. According to this, it is said there were too much noise that made the environment not conducive. Therefore, they should move to a better area where there is less noise. (doh?)
They have got old garbage trucks, untidy garbage bins (those situated by the roadsides), worn-out garbage collectors (I don’t think they are being good paid) etc. I thought they should fix these as they have got a lot of money to spend.
Plus, the summons they have issued for the past few years, where have those money gone? Whose pockets? Thanks to CM Lim Guan Eng who voiced out this matter and hopefully this matter will be solved. I wonder why this matter didn’t rise up for the past few years, is there briberies going on?
What is global warming?
Global warming is caused by the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the earth’s atmosphere. The gases act like a thick blanket, trapping the sun’s heat and causing the planet to warm up.
This is problematic to human civilization because it will result in increasingly severe storms and droughts, melting glaciers, rising seas, changing weather patterns and widespread diseases. Unless we curb global warming emissions, average temperatures could rise by 3 to 9 degrees by the end of the century.
How can you help?
A small effort can make a difference. Here are 10 tips that anyone can follow to do their part.
Use an electric fan
Use an electric fan in our tropical heat instead of relying on the air-con.
Change a light
Replace regular light bulbs around the house with compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Drive less
Walk, cycle or carpool with friends. Alternatively, taking public transport instead of driving can also save a great deal of CO2.
Recycle More
Recycle all your household waste (newspapers, plastic bottles, magazines).
Turn off your electronic devices
Switch off lights, appliances and electronic equipment when they are not in use. Switch off at the main power after you’re done.
Avoid products with a lot of packaging
Look for fuss-free products. Simply cutting down your garbage by 10% makes a difference.
Use paper wisely
Think carefully about whether you really need to print a document. If you must, use recycled paper, or make use of both sides of the sheet.
Use less hot water
Wash your clothes in cold or warm water & dry them under the sun instead of using a mechanical dryer.
Plant a tree anywhere
A single tree will absorb 1 ton of carbon dioxide over its life time.
Pass it on
Small efforts make an impact if many people change their ways. Tell a friend to catch AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH premiering on HBO at 9PM on 22 April 2008!
Too bad man! I do not have a TV and ASTRO! This is how shitty it has to be living without an idiot box which shows a lot of documentaries! Oh thankfully there’s repeat shows at 1pm on 23rd, 115am on 24th and 7am & 11pm on 25th. Don’t miss it!
Nevertheless, there’s a new movie coming up too, it’s called THE 11TH HOUR, starring Leonardo DiCaprio who is also an environmental activist, previews on 24th of April. I’m so gonna watch it.
22 April marks the Earth Day. Read up! Read up!
Normally, people are busy revising the lecture notes, trying to answer past years’ questions, memorising some of the facts if needed, doing all sorts of exercises (tutorial questions) as much as possible.
So then, no more Internet for the time being because obviously it’s the most distracting space on earth, oh I don’t mean earth as in the ground because cyber space is not on the ground but yeah maybe I should use the word “world” instead since it comprises most of the things. lol
What happens is that there is offline mode. People tend to appear in offline mode because they don’t wanna get disturbed by other friends from the buddy list (but I doubt you chat with each and every single of them, haha). Anyway, not getting disturbance could also mean they waste their time surfing the net, Facebook perhaps or even blogging. It’s cliche, isn’t it? I think it’s very.
I’m not committing any fallacies here, not doing any hasty generalisation. But I thought generalisation is good at times, as you don’t wanna be specific because you don’t wanna hurt the others’ feelings. But “siapa makan cili, dia rasa pedas!” Haha.
I always appear offline in these few days, I admit that there is disturbances. It’s hard to concentrate, seriously. Of course I also waste my time on the Internet, but it can’t be helped. But then again, Internet is also a good source of information. Pros and cons, there are.
What am I doing right now? Appearing online though but nobody chats with me so I decided to blog. Part of wasting time! Haha.
Oh I just got home from nasi lemak session with roomie and Mich at Paramount Garden. Fried chicken was totally awesome! Like I can still smell the chicken being deep fried in that big wok. Yummmm.
2 hours of crap isn’t that much suffice too though. I thought we could talk more but then exam starts tomorrow. Oh, what a bummer!
I shall now get back to books. Actually I’m in the sleeping mood. *grins* Oh dear, please come back ‘cos I’m missing you already!
A trip to Perhentian Island? I asked “how many wants to go?” *doubtlessly raise my hand* Oh, I saw another hand and another one and another one there.
I thought it’d be a fun gathering at some where we’ve never been to. I’ve already imagining myself shooting breath-taking sceneries. What’s more? Underwater creatures, that would open up my eyes for something real new.
318 is the price we will be paying and it’s in RM, of course. I know that sounded lame, I did that on purpose. 3 days 2 night, I think that’s reasonable enough because it’s inclusive of meals, snorkelling gears and boat rides.
Okay, 318 might be too much for some people, I understand that. Could’ve spent the money for something else better. But I thought it would a fun trip to be for the simple reason like course mates going out on an outing together.
Scrap the idea of going, I’m not keen on knowing who’s going or not for now. I’m more interested to know if the trip will be cancelled. 2 reasons for that- to move out from PJ house to Subang house and two- to get back home in Penang.
Maybe that sounded a little harsh but seriously, I need to plan ahead since I’ve got my own things to do over the sem break, just like you do. And that we, coming from other states, needs to go back to hometown. Things like booking tickets, etc etc, needs to be done beforehand.
No, I’m not angry, just a little frustrated, partly because of the upcoming final exams. I’m going back to books.
Everything is done. No more assignments! NO MORE! But I wasn’t impressed for not having anymore assignments to hand in. I still feel the hang-over of it, like there’s a lot more to do. I think I’m not the only one who feels like this, right guys? We even had to submit our assignments and had a quiz on the last week where we are supposed to be given the coursework marks! Damn! Everything is so screwed up in this sem. Agree agree? Study break now, some went back hometown, some stayed. I stayed.
Had a nice night-out just now. It has always been fun to have a talk-cock-sing-song session with friends. We talked a lot of stuffs, shared laughter and joy. Isn’t it nice? This is part of the uni-life. Get together with buncha buddies, do crazy things. Oh yeah, went to PC Fair for the whole day. Lucky thing I wore a jacket because I hate to have the body contact with strangers, especially in a huge congested crowd. Ewww! We reached KLCC at about 1030am and left almost 6pm! That’s so crazy! Can’t believe we stayed there for almost 7+ hours! Minus 2 hours for a movie we watched – Street Kings (Keanu Reeves is always good!)
Oh well, I skipped 2 meals and only had supper since the moment I got down from my bed. But clearly hunger is not a super major problem because I can still walk around in the halls to look at gadgets. Ooooh the cooler master is… so cool! I have the casing and I wanted to upgrade it to a better machine!! Can’t wait until I have the cash.
I think I’ma sleep now. Nitey nite! Oooh yeah, decided to go back on the 6th of May. Can’t wait to see my family! Missed Ryan so much and Peter too. I’m coming back, I’m coming back. “Please be patience Amy.” (<< inner speech!! haha!) Anyway, bed is calling me. Bye bye.
I feel like I’m in confined space. There’s no way out. What am I suppose to do? or rather what have I done? This is seriously wrong, wrong and so wrong. What am I going to do?
One wants to leave after another. How am I taking this? Tell me how! I don’t know anymore. I just couldn’t express my inner feelings of how sad I am right now.
STRESS!
