Block D

I'm back in college, and now temporarily staying in the boy's block.

It's not fair...they have nice white tiled floors, whereas us girls have the old school miniature green ones.


I was very excited to stay in bock d actually (jakun), but soehow it feels no different.

Then i realized: The bathroom is identical to the one in block e.

How can? No urinals?

So it means the guys have to squat ar? For toilet bowl i guess they can aim, but i doubt their accuracy. Well, at least no one will be mad at them for leaving the toilet seat up.

I WANT

Majolica Majorca eyeshadow

So pretty! Kate eyeshadow also can. These 2 seem to have excellent colours, not the powdery kind like Maybelline. I really want a palette with a dark coulour, a highlighting colour, deep purple and pink/lime green.

Nike zip front sports bra

No need for body contorting while taking it off my sweaty body.



Oh yeah i don't get the Facebook hype. I know it seems very loserish to not have a Facebook profile but wth la. Don't need another thing for me to get obsessed over.

Christine

Watched what is now one of my most favorite movies of all time.


It's an adaption of the Stephan King novel. i want to read it! Hopefuly there'll be book sales soon.

Which reminds me of the last Stephan King book i bought for only.....RM1!

Seriously.

it was....mph warehouse sales i think. also where i bought Narnia, Forbidden Games Trilogy and Dan Brown books. Anyway the King book was 'From a Buick 8. Also about a spooky car, but it was more alien invasion than a possessed car.


Here's the main reason i think the movie was so good.

Keith Gordan

He used to be a bumbling nerd, but after buying Christine, he slowly changed into......





ooOOoohhh!

Those lips are so Angelina Jolie.


"Whoa, whoa. You better watch what you say about my car. She's real sensitive."

I really enjoyed his transformation from loser, to an arrogant James Dean-like guy, to being scarily possessed.



I checked his imdb page to see what other movies he was in. None that i've heard of. And he stopped acting in 2001 because he prefers directing.

Saw some recent pics of him.



Ok, still not bad in a mature kind of way. A bit like David Blaine.



Oh no....WHY WHY WHY?

Balloons

Messed up the template art my previous blog and was too lazy to fix it, so i just created a new blog and imported the posts.

Was searching for a pink or dance related blog skin but this caught my eye.

But how can i make the post publishing section of the page wider?

Movie Overdose

The most exciting thing just happened.
We have the movie package again.

Been watching loads of movies to make up for lost time + make sure we get our money's worth, haha.

1) Enchanted

Surprisingly, i loved it. I thought it would be a sad excuse of a musical, seeing how it was over promoted and many ppl already made up their minds to love it. I think Amy Adams portrayed a Disney princess perfectly. But i still hate that song "How Does He Know". eeee....so cheesy and annoying!

2)102 Dalmations

Ok lo....cute dogs.

3) Election

Nope, not the Hong Kong triad one. Oh but speaking about that, there's a scene that really freaked me out. The one where Louis Koo used an axe to chop a guy up, grind his body and fed it to the dogs.....omg bleargh.

Anyway this one is about Tracy Flick, a Hermoine Granger-esque character who joins her schools presidential elections. Quite an enjoyable movie ...mostly because of the funny monologues and Reese's good acting.

4) X-Files

To be honest, i don't remember much about the x-files series, only that it used to air every....Sunday at 7pm i think. Maybe i was too young at the time and didn't get the plots. The only episode i remember is one where there was these oozing black worm thingies that moved under the skin and made the eyes turn black. This movie just seemed like an extended episode of the series. Only diff is that Mulder and Scully kissed and he finally got to see some aliens, proving that he's not crazy.

5) Plots With a View aka Undertaking Betty

At 1st it seemed quite mundane and pointless, but it was actually HILARIOUS! Funny story about 2 ppl falling in love. Only catch is that the woman is already married. So they fake her death, but turns out her husband wanted her dead anyway, and got her insurance money to boot. So she wants revenge. Another plus is that Christopher Walken is in it!

6) The Glass House: The Good Mother

Oh my. It's about this foster mum trying to murder the 2 kids. It's a dirent-to-video sequel to the movie Glass House. I thought that meant it would be terrible. Well, the plot is blindingly obvious, with some plot holes. But the acting was superb. I was screaming even though i knew what was going to happen.

I just learnt about the Munchausen syndrome by Proxy a few days ago watching a Korean talk show. Apparently, there was this girl who was constantly sick from birth till she was about 20. Turns out it was because her mum was feeding her matches! She wanted to keep her daughter sick so that she would feel more like a mum...

Water Shortage

Sob sob!!

Water supply in UM has been disrupted due to some maintenance or construction stuff. No water since Wednesday morning till maybe Saturday!

Normally when there is water disruption they will make announcements and stuff. Then everyone will scramble to fill their pails. The corridors would be filled with pails covered with newspaper or plastic bags.

But the normally, there wouldn't be any water cut. Or it would happen 10 hours after the estimated time, when everyone is already happily asleep.

This time no notices were put up. Only realized there was no water when lunch was served with Styrofoam bowls and p

lates. Styrofoam makes me so mad!!!

I was extremely hot and sweaty from rushing around half of UM.

(oh let me digress: I only remembered on Wednesday that i didn't make fee payments nor get my exam slip. So i have to sms Daddy to bank money into my account(on his b'day summore, oh no), then go to kps to pay via atm, then off to the exam hall to get my slip. ok, end of digression.)

Anyway, some ppl started taking water from the water tank, but i thought 'no, the water will come back'. I hate one-pail-of-water baths with a vengeance.

6pm : Ppl started going to the dental and law faculties to bath. I thought 'hah, i will wait till the water comes back'.

8pm : Still refusing to bath. Roommate reports that all 3 giant water tanks are empty.

Hah, so many ppl took half-hearted baths. They will regret it when i luxuriously take my bath water with UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF WATER! *but i don't waste water ar, cause I'm frugal even with water

It starts to rain heavily. Am secretly yearning to bath in the rain because I'm sticky.

9pm : Even the hot water dispenser is dry. Everyone is asking everyone where and how they bathed, i feel a bit paiseh for not bathing yet, but still proudly announce to all that i have not bathed yet because I'm confident the water will come back tonight!

Wishing i was home with the comfort of a reliable water supply and water heater....

11pm : REAALLY wish i took a bath now. But i made such a confident stand, how la, i must continue sticking by my statement even though it means i stink. Omg, I'm always stubborn in the wrong ways and bringing trouble onto myself. Why am i like this...

12am : Secretly wiped myself clean with my drinking water. Haha, secretly some more. No la, just didn't announce to the world.

Had a very interesting discussion with my roommate (Dan Yi) regarding pooh.Ha ha, i never referred to it as 'pooh' before. Which word would you like me to use.....stool? shit? faeces? feacal matter? dung? ok la, i think pooh sounds the cutest.

You see, every floor has 2 bathrooms. and every bathroom has around 3 to 4 toilets, but one is always not used because its the sitting type.

At this point of time, both usable toilets in our bathroom has already been shat in. So Dan Yi said yerr, how can some ppl be so thoughtless, they should hold in their pooh since cannot flush.

But i just came back from the loo, and i didn't notice any pooh. So i concluded that the ppl living on our floor are very thoughtful, they pooh'd straight into the toilet hole so that no evidence will be left.

*Bum hole must be positioned right above hole*

Also made another amazing conclusion.

You see, the toilets in block B were already stinking till high heavens, worse than public toilets; but our toilets were almost odorless.

How is that possible? Our loo has pooh in it! (lame rhyme not intentional)

Well, i was after all a science student for 9 years. I still have my scientific mind and deductive powers!

wtf....

Lixin's Theory #105: If, after shitting/peeing, the individual wipes his/her pee pee/butt, and drops the soiled tissue straight into the toilet hole, a barrier will be formed between the faeces and air. The stink molecules are too large to pass through the barrier, making the air relatively odourless.



This is because for some unknown reason, more residents of block B use water to wash instead of using tissue. Thank god i live in block A now.

My only concern is, sooner or later the layers of urine/pooh/tissue ( like thousand layer cake, eww) will reach the bottom of the toilet hole pipe. Then it will pile ABOVE the hole! omg, how?

At this point my roommate stops listening because she is too disgusted.

2am : Heard rumours that the water supply will come back around 2, so i stayed up to wait. My hair feels like oily mee hoon now.

2.15am : A water lorry or whatever you call it, arrives. We all rush down to fill our pails. Almost broke my back carrying my pails up. Oh did i mention, i semi-twisted my ankle while walking to kps. So i was so afraid of twisting it again.

Too late to wash hair.

7am : Woke up to bathe (managed to use ½ a pail of water only. i am the champion!). Ahh...finally feel clean and refreshed.

*end of long-winded account of water shortage story, congrats if you read till the end. actually still got la, but if i were to write about it, i'd be typing forever. It seems i will never have the ability to make things short when i wanna tell a story. Ei, but i am good at mind maps and summaries wor...nvm I'm confusing myself.*

Update: GOT WATER ALREADY!!! Whoo i've never been so grateful for water in my life. You know why? Because i have diarrhea boohoo! Seems like the water from the lorry is so unclean that the food is also contaminated. Had roti canai + dhal for breakfast today. The dhal normally doesn't go bad even by lunch time. But today i noticed there was a layer of foam at the top....meaning it's already full of bacteria and yeast growth.

Oh i cannot imagine having diarrhea and not being able to flush....

Yep i updated

hehe i forgot i have a blog.

er, how do i update one years worth of my life in one post?

oh nvm then.

something random: Remember that Fahmi guy who i was stuck with for math assignment? The guy who didn't do anything? I was lucky enough to be in the same group with him AGAIN for apk. I am really amazed by him. He is the epitome of laziness and avoiding responsibility. He turned up for 5 minutes in the morning during booth opening, didn't do anything, and disappeared after 5 mins. Then he miraculously reappeared during closing time and literally just for stood there 2 mins.MY GOD. i don't know how he wormed his way into being in the faculty society board.
