Why I Do Not Need To/Should Not Go for National Service siri 6/2009
1. I am the only person in my form who sang Negaraku every Monday and the school song everday. I even sing Keranamu Malaysia and Tanah Pusaka during Bulan Kemerdekaan. The lyrics of Tanggal 31 is etched in my head. I pray for Malaysia every week. I love nasi lemak, and I adore Italiannies. I look forward to Yasmin Ahmad's movies. How much more patriotic a teenager can you get?
2. I am under a scholarship bond that states that I cannot, under any circumstances, be distracted from my pursuit of education. Distraction here means having boyfriends, National Service and marriage.
3. My course is four years long. Upon graduation, I plan to get married and get pregnant, whichever comes first (hopefully with the same guy). Then I will build a family and a career. A career woman will not have time for NS.
4. I will only be free after my late thirties, when my career is stable and when my kids are all grown up. By then, my eldest child would be old enough to be selected for NS. Wouldn't it be embarassing and excruciating for him/her to spend three months with his/her mum in the jungle with other teenagers? I am seriously uncool.
5. I can't wash my clothes for nuts. If I get dragged to NS, I will have to have my own personal room because my clothes will stink like a garbage dump. Which means the Government has to spend more money to build me a separate room, and as a taxpayer I don't think that's a good thing...
6. Don't mind the tan, but ever heard of skin cancer? Plus I tend to forget to bring along sunscreen wherever I go...
7. I am 100% Malaysian, and I know the legends that make up her love for fashion. Lewre, Jimmy Choo, Zang Toi, Ling, Bernard Chandran, Gillian Hung, Farah Khan...do you want me to go on?
8. I scored an A1 for Sejarah in SPM.
9. I taught my friends Sejarah during Form Five when they couldn't understand it, and helped them to PASS Sejarah.
10. My favourite subject in school was Sejarah!
11. Saya tak pernah memonteng walau satu pun kelas tambahan Bahasa Malaysia. Karangan-karangan yang ditulis dalam jangka masa dua tahun di sekolah menengah telah pun mencecah "word count" yang sangat besar.
On the bright side...
1. Being away from it all for three months!
2. No technology! No internet connection! No handphone reception! No television!
3. Three months, free of stress, problematic people and house chores! Goodbye sweeping the floor!
4. No blogging for three months!
5. NS comes with a free three month detoxification plan! read: no fast food, no fizzy drinks!
6. More time and stillness to read God's word!
7. An opportunity to make friends!
8. An opportunity to be a pain in the neck to strangers for three months! (this I like)
9. No cute guys to ogle at for three months! How cool is that?!

Yes, I will stop being a whiny teenager. It's just that I don't see NS in my future: I can't even get a driver's license, and you're telling me to get lost for three months in the jungle so that I can gain weight?

"our work is never over"
The hands version of Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger has been making its rounds for quite a while now. Quite old news la. Anyway, this following sign language version is as good as, if not better than the hands version:
I love this guy.
Check out his interpretation of Kanye West's Golddigger.

"You're beautiful, that's for sure. You'll never ever fade,"
Happy Birthday Cherylyn!
Wished everyone could see the reaction on your face when we appeared. Hope you had fun, dear! And now, for some pictures:
Introducing the two camerawomen/bloggers:
Birthday girls' (in pink) SATC moment:
Oh oh and guess who developed camwhoring skills?!
The lighting was perfect! Zero make-up! We looked like Snow Whites. (Sorry Jue Lyn! lol)
credits to Khadi
L-R: Iona, Khadi, Mama iSha, Yin Xian. Diane in the background.
All looking lady-like, demure and sweet, unlike our normal rough, brash and loud behaviour.
credits to Khadi
And here's an unlady-like picture:
See see Iona's biting her shirt! So cute right her mouths' shape?! Like "U"
credits to Khadi
L-R: Shirlyn, Tien Hwei, Lay Kuan, Iona.
Note their perfectly-aligned heads!
Blogging is not addictive. Blogging is NOT addictive. Oh who am I kidding. Will have to limit myself from posting brainless posts from now on...
You rock, you tree-hugger. God bless you!

heavy on the labels, heavier on the love
You guys remember Sex and the City, right?
I think it's a big loss that the assistant to the Vice-President of Merril Lynch wears those sharp-toed neon pink heels. SAD CASE lah. I mean, come on! Good looking, well-groomed, flawless English and confident, not to mention working at Merril Lynch? (haha Mr. Jimmy) There just HAD to be a catch.

I took notes throughout the movie, and you guys got to check out http://www.carriebradshaw.com/. It's the exact site in the movie! There's excerpts of Carrie's books on this site, like the Menhattan book you see at the beginning of the movie. And Mr. Big's email address is john@jjpny.com. (No website available though).Carrie's is carrie@carriebradshaw.com.
These are some ads I got in my mail:
Coke and McDonalds! So Ivan.
How many brands can you recognise on this branded baby? (Awh, it's like Marketing class all over again):
Atheletic baby:
Hmm...somehow the ads add an Andrew vibe to it.

"...like stuffing a cream puff into a keyhole!"
It was suffocating. If there were a song to describe that one slight moment that prolonged for 15 minutes, it would be Maroon 5's Harder to Breathe.
And then, White Stripes' Blue Orchid will play. After that, some obscure song from a boyband or something.
When something ends, something else finds its beginning. When one door closes, another one opens. I'm so glad for you. OF COURSE IT'S HARD! Whoever said it was easy never started in the first place. It's for the best. If you didn't to it earlier, I would've pounded him for the loneliness he inflicted upon you.
Unofficial Sex and the City: The Movie review
Thursday (today) was English 120, our last paper. Khadijah managed to drag me out of the house yesterday to watch Sex and the City. In her defense, she had been "saving" the movie for me and Iona. At such a statement, won't you drop what you're doing and go?
I did not regret going out. Thank God for fiercely cold air-conditioning.
We three girls were the only girls in the cinema. There was another girl with her boyfriend (poor guy) a few rows in front of us. Scattered in the hall were four or five other guys. Single. Guys. MEN. Watching Sex and the City. ALONE. We didn't know what to make of it. Do you?
I've never seen a single episode of SATC, and I'm sure the girls haven't, either. We do watch SATC:Domesticated though. (Read: Desperate Housewives)
We all like Charlotte (the pregnant one) the most. Samantha Jones (the one from LA) seems like Edie, and Miranda (Brady's mom) was just so unforgiving. Carrie is decked fabulously throughout the movie. (hate the gladiator sandals) Kind of dissapointed Amsale wasn't featured in the Vogue wedding shoot, though.
In Grey's Anatomy: Amsale's dress on Christina Yang. Izzie wore Amsale to the SGH ball, too.
Did you know SJP wore 80 outfits throughout the movie?
And Anna Wintour actually sent her creative team to direct the Vogue photo shoot? Khadi and I were gasping and cursing Carrie the whole scene.
Guys who watch this movie expecting sex are seriously seriously kataks di bawah tempurung. Whoever said Sex and the City was about SEX? It's all about the labels, love! Manolo, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Gucci, Prada-and about the most timeless label of all, as said by Carrie, friendship.
The other reason I love this movie is because it kicks 27 Dresses and Made of Honor's @$$ so hard. SATC doesn't kid the viewers, and it's sophisticated. The soundtrack is 5-star as well. Two words: LABELS OR LOVE. That's ...*counts*...three. Who cares, it's Fergie we're talking about!
4.5/5 Stars

Labels or Love-Fergie
Love's like a runway but which one do I love more?
No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior
Love's like a runway, so what's all the fussing for?
Let's stop chasing them boys and shop some more.

D'Utama Advanced Toastmasters 11th Installation Dinner
A picture post
Don't worry if you don't know what the title means.
It was held at Royale Bintang Damansara Hotel or something like that. AKA "The Curve's Hotel".
I'm not going into detail because it would mean you readers would be subject to a philosophical essay on public speaking.
Mr. V, Wee Han, Wai How, Ivan, Mathew, Jane, Janelle, Rachel, Iona and I.
You'd think these guys would go to BritishIndia or some techie shop.
They settled in Borders instead. To be more specific, Borders' children's section.
"Guys, don't you think we should go now? It's almost 7,"
"Yeah yeah,"
*leaves*
"Eh where's the girls?"
"Ayesha's here,"
Girls, I have to say this, never walk slowly again or we'll leave you behind. That, or we'll tell you to stand still and pose in the middle of The Street.
(ugh lame. i don't photoshop, remember?)
Snap
Before you say anything, yours truly also contemplated on camwhoring in the men's toilet.
Table setting
Ended around 11pm. Too late for us to catch MTV Asia Awards' opening act.
No regrets for missing out on it. As Ivan would have put it, JUSTIN WASN'T THERE!!! So why go.
Although I couldn't help but snap this at Aeon.
Some things to do:
-Blog about iDee-getting-meet-and-greet-passes-to-see-Panic-at-the-Disco-just-by-talking-to-Jin-and-no-it-wasn't-the-cue-to-call
-Drama. (can i back out? pretty please?!)
