SmiLe =)

Okay.. so I know I'm the middle of my finals that has a specific for it, by the way; Intermediate MB... I really shouldn't be updating my blog on a new drama... but i will!!! coz I'm dat excited about it~ As my title implies, the new drama is called: SMILE, starring none other than Matusumoto Jun!!

I've nvr really been a MatsuJun fan but I am a Hana Yori Dango fan.. and the main reason why I'm excited about this drama is that it's a serious drama attempting to tackle on the issue of 'racism'.. From what I've heard so far, he plays a half-Filipino half-Japanese whose everyday life is a struggle against racism and oppression. No more is he playing a pretty boy character who gets the girl in the end by being a jerk who turns out to have a soft spot on the inside (where have we heard THAT before?)~ And the icing on the cake? Well, the fact that the Japanese crowd is furious about the drama making the Japanese people "look" bad is enough reason for me to want to watch it!! A drama with a purpose, who doesn't love one of those?? I'm proud of MatsuJun for taking on a Tagalog-speaking oppressed orphan, shows that he can play deeper roles =)

FINALS~!!!!!!!!!

OMG it's in less than 48hours now~~

Oh sociology...

Oh God it's been SOOO long since I last wrote anything worth while in here... well, as everyone probably already know, my finals is near.. well, it's next Wednesday~!!! dats exactly how NEAR it is... but since I'm here, writing this, kinda proves that my mind (and hands, apparently since I'm typing) is far from where it should be.... anyways, as any other normal human being who runs to the nearest distraction when faced with stress, I am seeking for an outlet..

Oh yeah, on to the topic of Sociology.. we were studying that today in our study gp.. oh God, it's such a load of crap!! u cant get any crappier than sociology man~ even epidemiology is less sh*tty..

models of doctor-patient relationship

theories of stigma and disease

theories on the psychology of dying

and the crappy list goes on.... but my bet is Paper C will be full of questions on these crappy theories that keep rationalising each and every human notion and labeling then with a term that we must know but have no significance what so ever... like it or not, I have to memorise this... I hope everyone else is having a much better luck than I am right now...

6weeks to finals and counting.....

ARRGGGHHHHH~~~~ 6 weeks to the dreaded final exam: the Intermediate MB, infamous for failing at least a third of the batch every time... the days are passing by me SO quickly now, but what exactly am I doing? wasting time by writing this is one.. wasting more time on facebook is another... making plans for further time wasting.... oh god, what is wrong with me??!?? I need to get my head in the game man~ I really do!!

things that I plan to do once I get this exam out of the way (and hopefully pass it at one sitting, insyaAllah):

1) Italy trip with rus, sebah, aiman n aween which will burn a huge hole in my pocket but will be worth every penny~!!! SOOOO looking forward to it~~
2) buy Cecilia Ahern books that I haven't read yet fr Amazon.
3) get a new Cineworld Unlimited card for my future leisure =P
4) hopefully finish my travel scrapbook that i intended to do since forever...
5) waste more time on useless activities such as sleep and bumming around in the house
6) watch loads of stuff online, need to catch up on my 'general knowledge' =P
7) did i mention sleep?

and the list goes on... It's gonna be exciting how many of those listed that I will actually get around to doing coz I nvr really succeed in things like this, i always end up doing nothing when I actually finally hv time to do more.. hehehe

So with these goals in mind, I say: Finals, here I come!! Aja~~~

New obsession!!!

A new addition to my list of obsessions: Lee MinHo a.k.a Goo JunPyo~!!!!!!

it snowed in cardiff~!!

On the evening of 2 Feb 09, it finally snowed in cardiff!!!! After 2 years since the last decent snow shower we had in 2007, it finally snowed a proper amount (for Cardiff's standards, at least =P)

I obviously went out to just enjoy the snow with my housemates, got into a little snowball fight with the neighbouring boys.. one of them actually snuck up on me from behind and shoved a nice sized snowball right in my face, into my mouth~nice... **said in a sarcastic tone ** but yeah, although I'm now wet and my fingers and toes are red and numb from the cold, I realised there's smth really melancholic about snow falling.. especially in heavy doses~ so I dedicate this pics to my siblings- Syirah, Nazurah, Ibrahim and my cousins- Nabilah, Nadiah n Iqbal



p/s: sorry about the bad quality, it was taken with a phone camera~

I DID IT~!!! yoossshhhh..

okay, so u may ask "What d hell did she do?"

and the simple answer is: I made my very own sekaya~!!

alrite, so it may not be the answer to global warming or a cure to HIV/AIDS.. but for a student who's overseas, home food becomes this dream that u hope would materialize some day.. so since I've been craving some 'roti bakar and sekaya', I decided I should try to make my own sekaya since I can't get it here... sejak dah tgk Aliana buat, I was so tempted to try it myself.. and I did it!! and it's good~ (not to blow my own trumpet or anything... =P)

yummm~~ itadakimasu... =)
