Dr Spencer Reid, in CMC class!!!

The most amazing thing, which I didn't expect or anticipate, EVER, was that there was a showing of CRIMINAL MINDS in CMC class!!!! So out of this world... and I quote Miecha "N u thot its juz in ur wildest dreams huh xD"

CMC, or Computer Mediated Communication, started of with a lecturer who was so intense in decreasing the number of very determined 3rd and 4th year students from taking her class. A class which starts at the early hours of 8.30 a.m, theoretically functions on the presumption that after taking the initial freezing drop of aqua from the dormitory shower, will keep us awake in class (or so it should). A class that got me up so early, that even light was not yet visible through my 'state of the art' window. A class with so much note taking, that at the end, I barely realised I had fingers.

But that was only the first 2 weeks. As time proceed, there were a definite improvement in our lecturer's reaction to class, and joking around was considered possible.. Not so much laa.. She did try to organise a class trip to, get this, Les Copaque and KRU, but standard UIA charges even students to use the transport facilities... at RM 800, our anticipation was washed away.

Anyhuuu... for Ramadhan, the month of Bless, our lecturer proposed a viewing of three 'pictures', which involve a movie, a documentary and a TV series (Criminal Minds) for class, a break from note taking. The part that obviously would be understood is that these three 'pictures' will be questioned in our Midterm, but that is till later date, after Raya.

The first was a movie about a computer game coming to life, which I missed coz I was not feeling to good. The second was a documentary on the consequences of the chat room, which actually lead to murder... don''t want to explain. And the third is about the effect social networking sites, such as... dum di dum.. Facebook...

It started off creepy, and I was kinda excited. Then I saw the CBS logo at the bottom, and mentioned to my friend, Waji, that I bet it was Criminal Mind (!) And lo behold, IT WAS!!! That was when my smile grew bigger, my eyes grew wider and my heart grew happy.... O HAPPY DAYS...

Imagine having Dr Spencer Reid, Penelope Garcia, the hunk Morgan, Agent Prentiss, Jareau, Hotch and Rossi 'in front' of my eyes... The fact that I have seen the episode before did not affect my blood from happily pumping away at the excitement... My envy for Reid's ingenuity, Garcia's witty comments, the charm of Morgan, Hotch, Rossi, JJ and Prentiss, plus all those 'psychological' term used in the scripts just brought me near to tears.... Thus I am here right now, after class... documenting my "Happiness" to the whole world, knowing for the fact, that there may be a psychopath keeping tabs.... Wooooooooooo.....

How My Life Was Moved...

So, this is the end of the first month (!) into the new semester. I know right, it seems like forever has passed by... Anyway, like my previous post, I had described my goings on throughout my four weeks into my third years of studies, which I also would say my 25th year of living on this beautiful earth...

Weeks went by. Laughter were shared. Tears were shed. And prayers were made. Tears? Why? Coz of all the BEAUTIFUL SOULS who have touched my life and made it just lovingly perfect... I would like to dedicate this post to all who, because of them, if ever I were to die right now, I know I can go peacefully.

First of all, to my beloved room mates cum adorable sisters, I would like to thank you all from the deepest love in my heart. During my two weeks with the theatre training, my days/nights were full. rehearsals were till midnight, and sometimes way later. So, there one weekend when I had the chance to wash my clothes, but as rehearsal ran late, as usual, I didn't have the chance to hang them... Coming back, I was shocked to see them already hanged, by non other than my beloved room mates. I was speechless, so heartfelt that I actually cried on the praying mat. They are just the awesomeness room mates anyone could ever have... Then, again yesterday they surprised me by actually tidying up my room! Yes, I admit it was messy, and after I took my clothe rack to be used by my wardrobe people, my bed was covered with clothes. When I came back, they had arrived (they came back from the performance before me), and when I entered my compartments, it was "shockingly" tidy... Again I was so touched... and again I emphasize that they are the best room mates anyone could ever ask for... they understood me, and my involvements in various activities, and are very supportive, always ready to lend their ears if ever I had to let out my grief and strife.

Second, to the most Wonderful, Beautiful, Amazingly Dedicated, Totally Talented, Hardworking, Adorably Hilarious and Wacky cast and crew of NEON PRODUCTION, I thank you from the deepest gratitude of my heart. The wonderful memories stored in my natural 'hard drive' will forever be unmeasurable...
Now, what was it that was so special? It's bcoz they were as my above colourful statement has emphasized, they were just THAT AWESOME... although they moan and groaned as rehearsal ran into the wee hours in the morning, although they were all tired after a whole day packed with classes, although they were sick of the three of us rampaging and ordering around their lives like nobody else's business... they still came back to practice, night in night out... (maybe they just like being around us.. haha.. naaahh..). With all that said, how could you not LOVE these bunch of beautiful people... They were kids, full of enthusiasm, full of life and definitely full of cracks (emm...).. which got us (Wajie, Miera and me) all cracking up and hyper and spirited... It was also a chance of a lifetime for me to be in a theatre production (behind the scenes).

How MY Life Moves...

i am involved in a theatre production (competition)... and im the stage manager cum best helper friend, so my life for the past 2 weeks was like, starting the day at 8.30 with classes, till past midnight with rehearsals... tomorrow's THE day for our performance, and we are getting agitatedly, irrationally stressed.. it's fun, coz its a dance theatre, so we got loads of young freshie guys dancing... hehe... it has been a very drowsy, blurry phase of going in and out of consciousness throughout this whole two weeks, especially in class.... we're even starting to speak in and around the scripts...
you know the feeling that you want the stress to be over, but it was really fun hanging out and you don't want it to end.. yeah, i'm having those moments now... we're gonna miss these people...
