College Stuff

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Movies & DVD, Photos, Random

First of all…

My college has been upgraded to university college status! So now my college is known as:
SEGi University College.

Finally :)

So anyways… gonna blog about random stuff about my class. I’m not gonna touch on my production until it’s all done. So last Monday was presentation skills class. It was quite fun as it was impromptu presentation on the topic “Why I should get a diploma”. My group was me, Sherra, Jackie, Effendy and Kathy. My group was the only one that kinda like fighting with each other cuz we’re supposed to fight for a diploma. lol. Fun. After class, Mr. Nicsson asked us to fill a survey and in return, we got a bag :D  Yay. Then after that I was on my way to the cafe to buy drink, and I bumped into Crystal! I haven’t seen her for like 8 months.. since the last prom nite performance cuz we were in Dance & Drama club. We had like 1 1/2 hours of long chat outside the cafe. She’s was having her last exam… and she’d be finishing her diploma :( So I won’t be seeing her around college anymore .. I think. Afer the chat, I went to Maxis center to pay my phone bill cuz the maxis guy kept calling me and bugging the fucking hell out of me about the bill. Geez. They’re almost like Ah-Long (loan sharks).

Tuesday, well, in the morning, it was Black & White photography class.. we developed our 2nd roll of film :D So I was in the dark room with Jackie & Joe loading our films and stuff. Someone friggin turned on the light! Luckily my negative was not affected cuz Jackie hasn’t pulled it out yet.. fuhhhh. I would cry if the light ruined it! But negative turned out ok! :D Fuhhh…. I was sooooo scared it’d turn out like the first one…haha cuz I was so stupid. After class, went to lunch with kathy & Ka Mun…then went for video production 1 class.. there was no class actually. My group is having problems…blah… AND, Adura…has…to….defer…… semester…omg. First Nesh, then Halili…now her. Omg. And we only have 2 weeks left until the end of semester…argh. We’re lacking crew! Now only 4 of us. Other group has 7. Urgh. And we asked Farah to be our talent XD Hopefully she won’t disappoint us.

Wednesday (today)… scriptwriting class.. and there was no class, lol. I just hand in my first draft of script then I could go home..but I decided to stay to see how Ka Mun and Joe do their animation..haha was the best decision ever.. it was sooooo fucking hilarious! I remember when I had to do mine with Boy last semester… with all the stress, the crying, the bitching… staying up all night doing the silhouette animation with him… lol anyways..  I took some pictures of them… and like 15 minutes long video using my cellphone lol but I won’t post the video.

This is how you do a silhouette stop-motion animation. You cut the image from black sugar paper and put it on lightbox, with the camera on top, and you capture it. I like their scenery, plus the characters. They’re doing samurai and ninja.. haha Joe’s ninja is fucking hilarious.

I really like it @_@ really nice.i hated the cutting part though, lol.

And then capturing it in the imac.

I was there for 2 hours-ish and we never stopped laughing. Haha. It was soooo hilarious.. esp. when Joe were being silly, and talked with Japanese accent. We were laughing so much that he even rolled on the floor laughing, LOL. Ka Mun was animating a bird and the outcome was so funny, I was laughing till my stomach hurt. Hehe. I like silhouette animation. I’d do it again if I don’t have any other works to do because stop-motion animation is soooooooooo time consuming. It takes friggin long to do but it’s the most fun.

After I got home, I stopped by at the nearby store at my place and a pirated DVD store has just opened.. HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know how long it’s gonna stay opened, but while it’s opened, I’m gonna make full use of it lol. There are a  lot of DVDs I want to buy… but I didn’t have enough money. But then I saw FAWLTY TOWERS DVD (complete series)… one of my favorite british comedies! I wanted it from amazon, but it was fucking expensive! Around USD$50 (around RM160+/-) but I bought the my copy today for RM27 (USD$8), hehehehehehe… :D I didn’t have enough money though :( LOL but the guy is so nice, he let me buy it first, and pay tomorrow..haha ;)

Yay they’re showing reruns of Friends again from early season! (when Rachel is still working as waitress at Central Perk)… they showed the 10th season early this month every night and the very last episode of it was last week.. ..but glad they’re still showing reruns of friends cuz it’s one of the greatest tv shows ever XD

Automaton Transfusion

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Movies & DVD

After the DVD ruined my DVD rom in my lappy, and after exchanging it for the new one, I finally get to see it tonight.

When I first the cover, that’s what caught my interest. I mean, the cover look ultra gore, like a good horror movie. Plus you can see what the review said - “One of the best zombie films in decades“… then I got on IMDB and read lots of bad review…plus I found out it’s a low budget movie so I thought “Oh no… a low budget horror movie.. there goes my interest..here comes bad acting, bad movie that would be so painful to watch…

…But I actually like the movie o.O;;;;

It’s the kind of zombie movie that I love - an extreme GOREFEST! Lots of blood…lots of flesh eating thing and you know what? For a very low budget movie, they have some of really AWESOME effect! For example, there’s one scene where a zombie punches a pregnant girl’s belly and rips out her fetus and eats it.. and she screams “MY BABY” before dropping dead shortly after… Another awesome scene is when a girl gets her jaw ripped out..and you can see her hanging tongue… I’m impressed!

And guess what? It was only a $30,000 budget with 9 days of total shooting! o.O; Again, I’M IMPRESSED.

Okay, what I don’t like is that the movie has no plot at all. I’m ok with that because it’s totally a gorefest. But because of the no plot, you don’t get to know the characters.. ok, so you know the main character (the guy) and this black guy with a trademark brass knuckle. That’s it. You don’t get to know much of the character and you don’t feel sorry for them. Nevermind the bad acting though. Believe it or not, it’s bearable to watch unlike other low budget movie. Ok, there are some bad actors and bad moments, of course.

AND THE ENDING…….argh, it’s frustrating because it’s like middle of the movie and then WHAM - “TO BE CONTINUED…” like ‘Back to the Future’ style… hopefully the director would get enough fund to make the sequel “AUTOMATON TRANFUSION: CONTINGENCY” because I want to know the ending. It’s like totally hanging….

Not a bad low budget movie. Lots of gore, zombie action, and cool dvd cover lol.

UPDATE: According to IMDB, Automaton Transfusion: Contingency is in the making! woot.

Now I got to sleep. It’s like 5 am.

Sale

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Food, Health & Beauty, Movies & DVD, Photos, Random, Shopping

Argh, I went to the mall today and guess what? It’s sale time!… and I have already spent all of my money :( Well I used like $200 of mom’s money today though buying like girly beauty stuff lol. I want new shoes though but look at this!

I have never seen Vincci that crowded in Ipoh before! I mean in KL sure, it’s hella crazy during sale time but Ipoh? That’s mad O.o; And I’m not even sure if there’s any sale in that store.. hm I’m not sure.

Oh btw, my DVD rom is broken. Blah.

Yesterday was tiring. I sent mom to pay for something. Then to the nearby mall to exchange the fucked up DVD that I bought (and that ruined my lappy’s DVD rom), went to comp store, went to buy fruits, went to relative’s house, went to rental house then only back home. Argh.

One more day for midterm break. Then back to hell. I’m so not looking forward to it. You know what? I can already feel something terribly bad is coming soon. I think I’ll fuck up my presentation skill class on Monday because I was absent last week and I don’t know what’s up for this Monday. So that’s 2 day’s marks gone. Fuck me. I’ve asked a few different people about what’s the topic for Monday and what did they answer me? “I don’t know.. I’m not sure either”. Dura wanna be in my group  but no, she hasn’t replied my message in facebook. Going to message her on myspace but if she’s not responding, then screw it.

I’m watching “Honey” movie now… Jessica Alba is so hot in this..I so envy her sexy body and flawless skin. This is one of my fave movies. After this I’ll work on my assignments while watching my zombie movie that I bought called “Automaton Transfusion” (???? what kind of title is that? Tho it does sound cool o.O) Apparently this movie got bad review. OH well.  I’ve watched Dead and Gone, which is cool. The movie has really awesome cinematography though it’s not really a zombie kickass action movie. More hallucination video but it’s still great XD Living Hell is well…. alien-ish movie. Not zombie >.<

Ok enough blogging for today.

PS: I had BIG APPLE donuts today… omg so yum. I missed it. Because Seebe commented about Krispy Kreme in previous post, I suddenly had the urge to eat donuts today lol.

Gimme Money

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Movies & DVD, Random

I was just looking at old posts of mine and was reading this:

DECEMBER 2006 POSTS

I wished I didn’t go for the treatment at the dermatologist. Was a big mistake. Plus I miss buying tv shows DVD on amazon. I read the part when my ex won some money playing game and he’d give half to me. *sighs* He would always give money to me without asking if I want to or not. Oh how I miss that 2 years of his generosity.. having someone giving money to you even when you don’t need it. You know, just for spending sake. Oh well, that’s in the past. He changed after that. Even though I’m not financially tight now as I used to be, but you know it’s nice to have someone pamper you. That’s just what girls need. Trust me guys, girls like stuff. So do take note. Love *only* is not enough. You’ll get very frustrated girls. They won’t voice out their frustration in front of their bfs, but they use forum and  girl talk between girls. lol. And that’s what I’ve been reading this past couple of days lol. Girl frustrations.

This past few days I’ve been into a malaysian forum for girls, and most girls would prefer guys who could spend money on them…be pampered. Malaysian guys are not usually generous. Trust me. I’ve seen them. Unless those ‘datuk’ or really rich old guy who are the sugar daddy for young, slutty girls. Yuck.

Speaking of rich, I was doing cruise ship research for my screenplay…and there’s this new ship called “Oasis of the Seas” if I”m not mistaken and OMG…. it’s soooooooo friggin nice!!! OMG. I’d kill just to be on that ship for a day. You know what… I want my honeymoon to be on a caribbean cruise on that ship…. like 10 days of pure luxury (no I won’t settle for cheaper room..must be the most expensive room)….omg if someone takes me on that cruise ship, I’ll be that person’s slave forever lol.

I’m regretting I didn’t bring my PS2 back to Ipoh so I could sell it, and buy a new one. You see, my PS2 is the old expensive and hacked and HUGE! Like majorly huge. Now I see at the malls, and it’s like triple sized smaller than what I have. I want it. I also want a PS3 but that’s like wishing for a star.

Ok. Enough blogging for today. I have more tomorrow. My break is ending. ARGH.

Ok, continuing with THINGS I USED TO LOVE IN CHILDHOOD part 1.
Today’s topic is, TV SHOWS.

Now I still remember back in 1999, when cable tv just started to bring in more channels. One of the channels being Nickelodeon. I remember the intro tv that they showed days (weeks?) before the official launching of Nick. Here’s a video of Nick tv intros from shows I used to watch and love!

Don’t you think watch clips of old shows brings back the exact memories of the past? The smell, the feeling, the situation/environment at that time…creepy, don’t you think? It’s like going back to the past without actually physically doing so…but you can still feel it as if you’re there. You know what I mean?

ALL THAT

This is one of the first shows aired when Nick channel first launched in Malaysia. I absolutely LOVED IT! I’d watch every episodes. Loved the cast because they’re just funny …Kenan & Kel, Lori Beth Denberg, Josh Server..then the later season joined by Danny Tamberelli and Amanda Bynes… when the original cast left the show and replaced with totally new cast, it absolute turned into S-H-I-T. The sketch aren’t funny anymore, just plain stupid. That’s what kids nowadays watch. Stupid stuff. I mean all the disney stuff and nick stuff now are just plain crap and boring.

KENAN & KEL

Hah, who can forget Kenan & Kel, the hilarious duo?? Kenan with getting troubles caused by Kel and Kel’s obsession with ORANGE SODA!! We don’t get shows like this anymore..why???

THE ADVENTURE OF PETE & PETE

Danny Tamberelli! Hehe.. I love this show… they used to air it along with all that, kenan and kel and clarissa. It’s the show where I knew Michelle Trachtenberg.

CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL

Well, Melissa Joan Hart has always been my fave, especially in Sabrina (which I used to watch too). I was happy when they showed this show…

THE SECRET WORLD OF ALEX MACK

They didn’t air this in Nick, I watched it on local tv3 as part of my weekly evening shows that I watch religiously after school. I didn’t have much to do back then. After school I’d watch tv, then hang out with my neighbors until night time.

MY BROTHER AND ME

I watched this in local tv2, not in Nick. I can’t remember much of this show though.

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

They aired this in Disney Channel then later seasons in local tv but I rarely watched the ones in local tv.  I used to tape every episodes from the early seasons. I think I still have the vhs tape if they haven’t been ruined by termites :(

THE LEGEND OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE

They aired this after tv shows like all that and kenan & kel. Used to watch it but then I lost interest of it.

THE WONDER YEARS

This was aired in Disney Channel. I usually watched it along with other prime time tv shows like Dinosaurs, Home Improvement etc

I haven’t watched the rest of the shows shown in the videoclip above.

End of Part 1. Part 2 coming soon!

Wow, look at this …Patek world time watches…I seriously need to buy a watch but would you wear like $25,000+ watch? I don’t dare to even wear necklace let alone a watch.. I always break things. Like in KLCC, I saw watches for like RM80,000+ and I’m like wow…. also like pens from Faber Castell… over $5000+ for a pen? I would never use it to write on anything lol.

Random Thoughts

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Food, Movies & DVD, Random

Well I thought about making another ‘childhood memories’ entry, but I’ll take a break from it for a bit and write a random blog. Hehe. Blah. Tomorrow I’m supposed to do presentation on any topic I like. Thing is, I don’t know what. I have no idea what to choose that I know well. I’ll try to figure it out tonight and memorize tomorrow. Plus, have presentation on product on Tuesday.. dunno how to do that as my group is not even ready with anything.

My back hurts. I really want a new monitor now but I want to wait for Pc Fair… gah. Why? Because PC Fair it’s either cheap, or I could get gifts. Plus, there’d be lots of brand there which I can compare. Not sure how I’m going to do assignments and all this sem… If I had a monitor, I could use my normal comp on that normal table and with normal chair so my back won’t hurt too much. My bed sucks so bad now. It’s less springy, like someone has been jumping on it for a long time (no, I haven’t been doing that lol)

But mattress cost too much. I share my bed with my kitty, Jojo and sometime Nikko. If I’m not mistaken, pet beds cost almost the same as human beds.. my kitties have their own bed (but they rarely use it).. I want to get them another one though, a good comfy one but it cost like over $200. I also wanna get them those carrying bags or stroller lol. Need money.

I’m almost halfway to my goal for a monitor. XD

Now & Then

Reminiscence Part 2

Oh I have loads to talk about of things, movies and shows I used to love. But hey, this is my blog, I’ll talk about whatever I want to, lol.

NOW & THEN

Little girls nowadays play with babydolls but I was addicted to movies and video games and music. I remember when in 1995, across my house, they finished new shoplots and one store opened up - a movie rental store. So I would go almost daily to rent movies. There are some movies that I’m so addicted with that I would go and rent a few times… one of the movies is NOW & THEN.

They don’t make quality movies for kids anymore these days. Certainly I think late 80s and 90s is the best decade to be growing up with. I would never trade it with anything else. I’d gladly live through it again. Even though there was no cable tv back then, I had fun. Now this movie.. it’s about friendship. I had a few good friends at that time. Best of friends. You see big names to the adults in this movie like Rosie O’Donnell, Rita Wilson, Demi Moore  & Melanie Griffith. And to young girls, Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Ashley Ashton-Moore (Ashley Rogers) and Gaby Hoffman. These are the girls that I always dreamed to be lol. Of course not forgetting, Devon Sawa! The hottie of the 90s.

As I’ve said, the movie is about friendship. It’s set in the 1960s I think about 4 best friends who has problems of their own and characteristics such as Christina’s character Roberta is a tomboy but when she met Devon Sawa, she fell in love and changed. They have a kissing scene in this, and another one in Casper. Thora’s character Teenie is always on about her appearance especially boobs. The rest.. well you go and see the movie yourself. lol.

The soundtrack was good (I owned it), story was good, cast was good… I missed this movie. I almost bought it from Amazon but decided to wait a bit. I will someday. All for one, and one for all.

I’ll end this post with a fan music video from the movie :)

The Odyssey TV Series

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Movies & DVD, Random, Videos & YouTube

This past couple of weeks I’ve been reminiscing my childhood memories. From video games, to favorite past time to favorite music, to cartoons and favorite tv shows. So for the next few entries, I’m going to dedicate them to my favorite childhood memories. Thanks to the existence of youtube, I can now reminisce about my childhood while watching clips from the shows that I used to watch. Now this entry is going to be about THE ODYSSEY!


Opening Credits for Season 1


Opening Credits for Season 2


Opening Credits for Season 3

The Odyssey is a Canadian TV series that I used to be so obsessed with. I watched it religiously every Friday at 4 pm. I would tape every single episodes until the end of the season. It aired in Malaysia around 1997-1998, I can’t remember clearly. Or was it 1999? I loved this show because it’s for kids or teens, about kids/teens. The story is simple yet complicated. Jay fell into a coma, and while he’s in a coma he goes on this adventure to find his home, and his dad in a world where kids will never grow up beyond 16 years old. No adults in the world.

I loved it because of the cast and the story. Illya Woloshyn is hot in it… then I knew Ashley Rogers from Now & Then movie ..unfortunately I found out that Ashley passed away last December from  accidental heroin overdose… Then there’s Tony Sampson… Jewel Staite (I loved her from Flash Forward), Devon Sawa (I’ve been obsessed about him since I was 10 or so) and Ryan Reynolds :D Oh Andrea Nemeth (you might have seen her in Scary Movie)

It’s fun to watch every episode to see what obstacles Jay will face, then at the same time in his real world, you’re hoping he would wake up from the coma because he reacts every time they mention something about his dad, Brad Ziegler. I also love to act scenes from the movie because that’s what I always do when I was young, lol. I’ve been hoping for a DVD to come out but so far, no luck :( I loved this show.

Ok, posting this entry for reminiscence #2.

Now something random, don’t you ever wish you’re rich enough for a private jet charter? I know I am. I so want to go on a holiday vacation right now. Speaking of holiday, I have a one week break at the end of the month. Hurrah.

Random Dailies

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Movies & DVD, Random

My Indonesian sinetron, “Putri Yang Terbuang” ended tonight. Unlike most of sinetron/drama that I’ve watched, they usually go for over 100+ episodes, but this one is just 60 episodes, and I like short sinetron. It was damn good before, the story is better than any other sinetron that I’ve watched BUT the last few episodes was just quite sucky. So is the ending. I mean, Putri was poisoned, so she became paralyzed. Goes to Singapore to have brain surgery but comes back like nothing happened… she’s healed, ain’t brain surgeries supposed to have your head shaven? Or at least show the scar or something? Then Raja is also paralyzed, decided to try to walk before Putri comes back…then poof, miraculously, he’s able to walk again like nothing happened. Then Putri comes back normal right? But she lost her memory.. then later, poof..suddenly she’s able to remember again.. like everything is sudden. Like they’re trying to rush to end it. Oh well. No more cute couple to watch :(

Yesterday I went to class in the morning. Woke up earlier than usual, rushed to school, but then I found Jackie in the hallway with Ms Jenny.. turns out class has been moved to Thursday! Argh why didn’t I check the notice board carefully? But everything happens for a reason, no? So we went to check the notice board, but my course is not listed. As written in the student handbook, the subject “Marketing Principles & Strategies” is actually an elective subject so yeahhhh I don’t have to take it, woohoo. One stress gone lol. Now I can wake up a little late on Wednesday.

So then me and Jackie decided to go to bursary to ask about loan.. he was submitting the form.. they said if I want to get it asap, I have to submit before 3 pm… so guess what? I rushed home, filled the form, got too stressed, then rushed to the bank… they were being an arse, opened an account, got a call from Mr Zamzuri that he forgot to get my IC so I’d need to do the SSPN account again.. but unfortunately that bank won’t accept individual application so I rushed to another bank, luckily they accepted it.. rushed here and there then back to the college and GUESS WHAT?

I need a letter from commissioner for oaths.

He forgot to tell me that. Wtf. After all that troubles I went through it was for nothing :( So there was nothing I can do, I went to class ..and I was an hour late.. it was over. I was a little stressed, and a bit pissed, and depressed until I talked to Jackie, and found out there was a temporary tattoo booth outside of the bursary haha.. Dura was doing the tat.. met with Wan, she got all excited to get one, and got me excited, then got Jackie excited so we all got one temporary tattoo for $10 lol. I got same one with Jackie cuz it’s cool.

I got yelled at by mom though. Not supposed to even have fake tattoo, PLUS a tattoo of a tribal cross, lol. But I don’t care :P Then hang out with Jackie for a bit then went back home. Today I was supposed to go out but was too tired, burnt out.. happy to spend the day with Aaron in SL though :)

Bah, I need money. I want to go to the electronics store and splurge on gadgets.. I need new headphones btw… Okane ga hoshii :( Tomorrow I have to go find commissioner for oaths then go to the bank cuz I want new debit card :P Tired tired. I don’t know why I’m so tired lately.. so burnt out.. like I have absolutely no energy left O.o;

OMG my cat just projectile vomitted. Um Ew.

Sleepless night

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Movies & DVD

Argh omg. It’s been so hot here lately. I think it’s around 31 or 32 ‘c everyday. And with laptop and main comp on in my small room 24/7, it doubles the heat. I so need an aircond now. Blah. Today H sms’d me with news that my house in my hometown has been flooded badly. I’m praying that the water didn’t flood inside of the house but he said it looked pretty bad outside… it was knee-length deep outside of the gate. His house was flooded bad too. I seriously, SERIOUSLY hope inside of the house isn’t affected because next week I”m going back home for Chinese New Year holiday :( My mom called my uncle but he didn’t pick up. Want him to check on the house.

Urgh it’s 3.30 am. I fell asleep early at 10-ish or 11-ish but fucking cat woke me up at 1 am yet AGAIN! I seriously can’t get any sleep if he won’t keep his fucking mouth closed. He was never like this but lately he couldn’t stop meowing out loud. Makes me feel like hitting my head with a baseball bat. If I keep this on, my face would sag so bad, I’d need some facelifts to prevent from looking like a living wrinkly corpse.

So what I”m gonna do now is practice some drawing that I should have done 2 weeks ago, LOL..I think Mr Eddie wants to see it in class today… while I”m doing that I’m going to watch a movie. I’ll watch it on the laptop because I can’t see the tv from when I am now..it’s too low. I need a tv lift cabinet so the tv would be higher and I can watch tv while I’m on the lappy on my bed. I also need a bigger tv, LOL. I miss my tv in my hometown :(

Oh I finished downloading Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (a DVD rip)..yay! I love that movie :D It’s so fucking hilarious even though stupid, LOL. Kal Penn is so hot. I heard they’ve done a new movie - Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. Yay, can’t wait to see that! Said to be released this April..I so wanna see.
