of ignorance

the very last article i read in a newspaper that's engraved deeply in my mind was the one in 5th March's copy of NST..'Wat-er waste of water'

and i'm having headache everytime this person i know heads off to the bathroom. it would take nearly an hour of who knows whatever she does in there before she deems herself done. it only has a shower head, and not a huge, white bath tub where one can sink under the delightful bubbles and into the sweet-smelling, stress-relieving aromatherapy oil mixed water bath.

I've been hinting to her since forever that she took a mighty long time to finish, but she'd just flash her smile at me while saying, "Did I really take a long time in there?"

It would be a tad bit fine if there is nothing to rush for, but even during peak hours when everyone needs to get ready for something..she'd lingered in there taking her own sweet time. Does she think that the traffic would stop and wait for her to finish playing with water?

i chose to watch Black Swan after contemplating between the movie and Beastly. i read the reviews, and opted the more serious one. besides Black Swan got higher ratings, and Natalie Portman won an Oscar for her role in the movie.

it was a very devastating story of a ballerina taking pressures badly after she became the star of a performance. i already guessed she'd die at the end, but it never occurred to me it would be done that way. it was very tragic.

i'm very particular about watching movies on weekends, coz i hate crowds. and when i went out today, i felt suffocated with the heat and the throngs of people, and the auto-paying machine for the parking ticket had to be out of service today of all the days. everyone had to queue up at the other one available, and it was a very long queue. it even caused congestion when people were inconsiderate to others.

here we come

we went to Putrajaya days after the trip to BNM, where the 'main' purpose was to go to the Statistics Department and then to Alamanda. Alamanda was the only thing our lecturer raved about, whenever he talked about the trip. maybe he was that excited to go home.

the people there showed us the manuals they used and all sorts of statistics right to the smallest detail. and i bet they'll be happy to walk us through all the process, if they were given enough time. all i know is that they have to work really hard with all those numbers to be analyzed. 

see that picture, everyone was grinning and smiling from ear to ear thinking about the serious part that had just ended and the fun part that was about to begin. ;p

actually the driver was reluctant to let us go to Alamanda, just because it was not in the itinerary. it was standard procedure and known by everyone - you don't include all the fun part in the paperwork. our lecturer was frustrated with the driver when he heard about it in the morning. but it was solved when one of the girls in the committee went to talk to the driver. then our lecturer joked about sending girls into the war zone from then onwards..haha.

coming of age

i'm still waiting to see the bulk of photos taken during two academic trips we had on Monday and last Thursday. the thing is most of them would take too much photos - they went clicking nonstop from before we boarded the bus until right the end of the journey, and their specialities would be the sleeping photos :p that's why i made sure i didn't fall asleep at all. kids.. *sigh*

the big news is >>>>> i'm going to cast my vote on Sunday (hint: my hometown is one of the famous places in Malaysia right now). it's my first one peeps. i thought i don't have to participate in it, but yesterday my dad said my name's in the list. i'm nervous to fulfill my responsibility :)

there are lots of movies to be watched, and not much time available - there are lots of tests next week too..huhu
