A Week's worth of rather interesting events.

Alright, i apologise for the title; it's lame and single-dimensional. But i'm too stupid to think of one now, so that'll do, i guess. Let's just leave it as it is.

Well, to sum it up, this week is rather interesting. Interesting in a sense that it breaks the usual dull monotonous routine I'm prone to experience. A lot of stuff happened; some memorable, some serious, some pathetic and some sympathetic. There were things that changed, things that were lost, things that were grown and things that were relived. It, you might say, lit a couple of candles as it passed to bring light to certain new things.

Let me enlighten you about something; do you know that this year Malaysians celebrate 3 new years, all in a single month? It's something that happens every 32 years (or so i heard). We have the normal New Year as the year passed from 2005 to 2006, the upcoming Chinese New Year and the Awal Muharram (typo?) which is celebrated among Muslim as a mark of the first day of the year in the Muslim calendar. Well it may not be all that fascinating but 3 new years under one month is not somethng you get every year, no?

This week i struggled through the tormenting torrents of mental suffocation which is the two exam papers Electronic Publishing and Mass Media Law. Oh GOD the suffering! Well, this is brought upon to myself by my own procrastination and severe laziness so i'm not going to blame it on fate or the Heavens or the cheap-skate fortune cookie i got from buying skittles of a Watson outlet (if you're interested, the fortune cookie read "You will face many trials."). I completed E.Publishing with a little luck, but Media Law....AUGH! I might face a FAIL for it, and a probable resit of the paper next semester. Yes, it's too early to assume anything but when you answer a law essay question using things you learnt off a HBO movie, well, you ge tthe idea :(

Monday this week i received news that Ju Ee, friend and coursemate, was hospitalized at Glendeagles Medical Center after undergoing surgery (details on previous post). I'm glad to inform that currently she has been discharged on Thursday and now presumably healthy and well :) Nothing serious is up, and i'm mighty glad that she's fine. I'm just hoping that she's well enough to attend the remainder of our exams after CNY (2 more papers to go).

And then it struck, the feud between a friend and another coursemate (which should be cooled down a little by now). I find the reason of the sudden resentment rather...erm..childish, if i may put it, and it was the sensitivity of the coursemate that must've expanded it into a full-blown battle of words and personality. maybe it's sad to say i think the coursemate kinda deserves it. but hey, i have some creed with him as well, so i'm biased.
Now this person, this coursemate i'm referring to, has struck a cord with my tolerance and gave life to a resentment i left dormant for friendship's sake. He did something to another friend which I find unjust, unfair and inconsiderate. I'm currently awaiting his reply to the stuff i threw at him, if he's making any replies. And i sincerely hope he does, somehow.

The funny thing is that in the wake of this resentment towards him i was revealed to a certain fact regarding him. now i'm left to ponder: is this incident, this thing, made him as he is, as the person i see him as? could it had shaped differently? I found pity and condolences for him, and though i'd love to kick his arse now i'm seeing him differently now, and i have envy and pride for him. i praise him, and i salute him. i just wish that he annoys me less.

Diane, i saw, went through a lot this week. I admire her strength and determination in facing all these turmoils, but it saddens me that i am incapable of aiding her in anyway. All i sort of did was just talk to her, and try to entertain her if i can. Still in the end i felt like i did nothing. I know....of one of her tribulations, and it is a great dismay to see her going through this under the stress of the exams and probably other things in her life. You're strong, Diane. Stay strong. I'll help support your weights the best i can. just ask for it, and i'll help in anyway possible. you have friends to stand by you through everything.

So i sit here now to conclude the end of a week (not exactly the end, though, i still have saturday to live through, but it ended all the same.). Sunday marks the 1st day of the Chinese New Year, and the beginning of a new week. i won't be too happily celebrating, though. Still 2 more exam papers to go, and i can't afford to do badly in them. let's hope i can stand the temptation.

And i found a better title for this post:

" A week's worth of things gained, lost, found and learnt."

Well?.....NAH!

It's lame.

Let's just leave it as it is.

The Worst Exam paper ever in 3 days...and yet i'm slacking.

After a tiring and exasperating ordeal of surviving past my Electronic Publishing paper, today was a rather welcoming homestay. I wasn't really expecting to stay home today; my initial plan was to visit Ju Ee with the gals from class at the hospital.

Ju Ee had an appendix operation last Sunday and is hospitalized at Glendeagles Hospital (one freaking high class private medical center). She didn't attend the exam on Monday, and from what I heard she won't be able to take this friday's paper either. And she'll be spending Chinese New Year in her state. Sigh...

I planned a visit today with Derwoei and the girls (Amanda, Diane, Wai Yee, Michelle, Geetha) but Ju Ee wasn't keen on having us guys as company so me and Teh dropped out. Turned out that Ju Ee was worried that we guys will murder her unintentionally by making her laugh and subsequently bursting her operation wound. Lolz!

She's getting better now, i heard from the girls... and she could still send me an SMS appology for not allowing me to visit (she threatened me with high stakes when i insisted upon going). I remembered receiving her mother's SMS informing me of her condition; i was with Derwoei poring over our EP notes when the SMS came complete with the ward and bed numbers. I was like, " O.O no sh*t! Ju Ee's in the hospital!" and everyone there at the library shot me a stare. Huey, talk about malu-ation wei.... >.<

Thus, i spent the whole entire day slacking at home, despite the fact that I'll be having Mass Media Law exams on friday. I even had the mood to pop in Prince of Persia: two thrones into the ps2 and jammed for 2 hours. the remainder of my time were spent watching anime and flash animation. I barely touched my notes, and i only touched them to clear them off the table for dinner. Night was spent mindlessly drifting in and out of the rooms and settling down to watch Legally Blonde 2 (which i found surprisingly entertaining, despite it's tried-and-true and typical jokes). OhMAN. I'm failing my MML. I'm so gonna fail it....

Ah, well, forgive my pathetic whines. It's a way to show that i'm (at least) regretting that my laziness has cost me dearly, which in truth, i'm not really concerned about it. what the hell is wrong with me? the lack of self-urgency, the low concentration right at these very wary moments... my God. I'm a nutter. I'm mental. whatever.

I appologise for today's posts... i daresay the content is highly nonsensical (is that how i use this word?). I'm under several distractions as I type this... and I'm too lazy to edit it.

ah, well, it's off to the beds for me... i'm forgetting something which i intend to post, but i guess i'll just leave it for another time.

goodnight

Erm....1st post?

Yeah, well, i know i promised myself a complete overhaul for my blog after my exams. But i can't sleep right now and i'm bored, so i thought i'd start the overhaul a little earlier.... though i'm just gonna keep it at the minimal side.

Reading a couple of my friend's blogs recently is returning my lost urge to blog/journal writing, so i planned this overhaul to revamp and possibly improvise my blog (if i am capable of). Another thing is that i intend to create another blog account, one which i will feature stories/features/news/junk which i will gather myself with hopes to gain myself a little experience over my journalism career path.

The biggest problem now is........ do i have the dicipline?

I have the tendency to neglect my journal after a few beginning entries, and this blog has been left to collect digital dust for the past 5 months or so. Can i actually manage two blogs and update them regularly? I'm constantly doubting myself, but doubting is never changing a thing, so i guess i'll just give it a shot and see how it may last.

It's not that i got lazy to update my posts...yeah, well, maybe a little lazy, but the main problem is getting the right time to post. I'm a slow writer/ typer (due to my limited and restricted intelligence, unfortunately), so finding a time which i can actually blog without interuptions by my brother and his dominating will to use the computer whenever he wants it, is the hard part. i mean, i can do my blogging in the afternoon, but most days i have college to attend. My biggest bet is to previously type an entry into my Lap-top first and then transfer it to this PC. Still, i'm worried about the timing.... let's see if i can plan it out.

Well, it's better now if i leave this blog matters away first.... now i have my exams to worry about. I did rather badly in my Bahasa Malaysia and English Language test, i think, due to some patheticly simple yet distructable mistakes. I'm having my Electronic Publishing test next Monday, and i am (once again, as usual) severly unprepared for it. i barely have the gist of what is to tested and what the bloody subject is all about. i have, like, one day to catch up with a couple of months worth of information. An impossible feat.... but my only chance and i hope it'll work out....

Mass Media Law is up Friday, and i'm horrendously under-knowledged regarding it. Amanda stopped by on my MSN messenger today to ask about Mass Media ethics and the Immanuel Kant thingy and i knew nothing of it. God, it's sad to see that my self-inflicted negligence and utter laziness have caused me to degrade myself and failing to aid a friend. Geez....i need to study....

And chinese new year is just around the corner (next sunday). the time of the year which i sincerely grew bored of. Later about that.... in another post, maybe. that is, if i post. and that is, if you care. and that is, if anyone is reading this. that is, if anyone even knew me.... lolz (ah, i'm ridiculous)

I guess i'll end this one here.... i'm running out of crap to type. I ought to try and sleep... but maybe after a couple of rounds with Yahoo! pool.

Goodnight.
