Crap.

I’ve been re-addicted to THE SIMS 2. I finished downloading Apartment Life Expansion Pack few days ago and I haven’t stopped playing… Since I couldn’t get any sleep at night, I’ve been playing it all night long. I wonder if the game can be played on my laptop computer? At least when I go back to Ipoh for Eid celebration, I have something to play.

We watched THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI yesterday in class, lol. That was surprising, I thought we were gonna watch another movie. It was an interesting movie… pretty straightforward and at times quite confusing but hey, most of silent films are confusing… unfortunately, everyone was bored to death, lol. But we all had to keep watching cuz we have to write analysis at the end of movie. Apparently Jackie and Ito (not sure who else) thought I suggested that movie, lol. No, I suggested ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW which will be screened at the end of October.

After that we all went to this talk. A university is having a film making contest and I”m very interested to enter… so is Ito.. I suggested we send our Levi’s commercial, and maybe I”m gonna re-edit our DP reel and send it in.. we’ll see.. have to ask Esther and Haze if it’s ok. Would be great if they still have the footage.

Then I went to return my book that I borrowed from the library. You know, the librarian is such an ass? He promised he would not count one day, and then denied it yesterday.. we were arguing cuz I was sooooo pissed cuz I know I was right. It’s not the matter of money, it’s the matter of dignity cuz I KNOW I WAS RIGHT. I made him count the days again.. I said after independence day was a public holiday and oh noooo.. he said noooooo… he fucking denied it when 10 minutes later, after recounting and rechecking the calendar, he said “Oh Monday was a holiday”… so I said THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING! And you know what he said? “You said public holiday, not day off”… wtf? Isn’t that the same meaning????? I hate dealing with stupid people. At last he gave me 2 bucks off..making it RM24… fucking expensive. Sure, Segi University College has a policy of borrowing red tag book for a day but imagine this - that red tag book is 700 pages thick! How in the fucking hell can you read a book that thick in one day??? If you’re a day late, it’s 2 bucks fine…. WHAT THE FUCK. I understand the book needs to be at the library cuz it’s the only copy but my question is - ONLY ONE COPY? Isn’t it supposed to be a library? Why can’t they buy many copies so we can borrow and study it? That’s fucking stupid.

Anyways, open day today.. I”m working, yay! Then today and tomorrow, I have to work on my 3D modeling… baaaah it’s complicated :(

Lauren Cleri

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

I’m so sick of reality tv show, so I don’t watch them anymore. SO FUCKING SICK. Unfortunately, after the millennium, that’s all we have, low quality reality tv crap. The only reality tv that I currently watch is only The Apprentice because the season airing right now (season 6, I know, very old season, we’re a year late) caught my interest.

Have any of you heard or watched THE MOMENT OF TRUTH?

You see, I was waiting for The Apprentice tonight so I turned on tv and The Moment of Truth was on before The Apprentice. I hate that show.. it’s slow, boring, and basically I’ve seen way too many of the similar shows so I never cared until I hear the questions that were being asked…

The questions were absolutely embarrassing! Like for example if she had slept with someone else after being married, if she had taken off her wedding ring to appear single, if she loved her ex on her wedding day… if she thinks she’s better off marrying her ex instead.. and many more to all which she answered YES.

It was the episode with Lauren Cleri, it aired in the US on my birthday (Feb 25th 2008) on Fox if I”m not mistaken.. after hearing the questions I decided to watch it. It was PAINFUL to watch that ugly ass whore answering YES to all the questions in front of her family and her own husband, revealing she has cheated on him in front of millions of viewers without shame or remorse… oh my god.. can anyone get any stupider?

I bet that slut who confessed on air thinks she’s getting fame and soon, money but she lost when the lie detector detected a lie on the question “Do you think you’re a good person” to which she answered “yes”. A good person??? Omg are you fucking serious? She’s badder than satan himself. I didn’t care at first cuz I know everything in reality tv is staged and come on, everyone that appears in reality tv show who claimed to be a ‘normal’ person turns out to have some acting or modeling background..puh-leaseee. Even that Lauren Cleri claimed she’s an “aspiring model”…oh come on, I wouldn’t hire her ugly evil whore ass even if my life depends on it.  She destroyed her marriage on tv, humiliated not only herself but her (ex?) husband and family.

When she lost all the money, she went up to her family and cried… I’m willing to bet my life that she didn’t cry because she felt bad for revealing everything but she felt so bad and sad cuz she revealed all her dirty secrets on prime tv and didn’t get a cent for it! That she had LOST everything. Karma, bitch. No matter what you say, or other people say, your reputation is ruined.. that episode will always make you seem to be the cold hearted whore that you are, forever.

If I were her, I would NEVER, I repeat NEVER humiliate and reveal my dirty secrets on television.. how stupid is that? OMG I have never seen anyone like her.. if I see her, I’d seriously blow her brain to bits. What a shame too, that Frank Cleri, the husband, is cute :\ He’s the same age as me too I think.

If me, I’d suggest her to move out of the country. At least the country would have one less white trash.
May I suggest calling Shleppers movers New York and move? You’re worthless anyway and such a disgrace.

*BREATHES*

Cunt.

Happy Ramadhan

   Posted by: Tany   in Daily Life, Health & Beauty, Movies & DVD, Site Updates

HAPPY RAMADHAN.

Fasting started yesterday so today would be the 2nd day of fasting. Unfortunately I can’t fast yet lol. Um it’s a girl thing. But unfortunately I still have to act like I am. Sure I can secretly eat and drink but there’s nothing to eat :( So I’d have to wait until break of fast where mom would make something.. that’d be around 7 pm.

The past 2 days I’ve been working on my new college blog and DRUMROLL… presenting:

EXCENTRIX!

I just thought I’d have a separate blog to put all of my college stuff/works without having my personal stuff mixed in together. They’re lots more pictures that I haven’t put up yet…which I’ll try to finish tonight XD

Any heard of CAMP ROCK? Sure, kids and disney movies enthusiast would have already watched it. It will premiere this week on Disney Channel Asia on Sept 7th if I’m not mistaken.. now I like disney original movies.. you know how much I looooooove High School Musical.. so before I was kinda looking forward for Camp Rock UNTIL…..

I started hating The Jonas Brothers.

OMG I can’t stand them now. Not only they remind me of Hanson (which I was obsessed with before) but they can’t friggin sing. Their voice annoys me big time. Their songs are so annoying. I just can’t stand Jonas Brothers. They’re so overrated. Unfortunately they’re in Camp Rock. I wanna watch because of Demi Lovato cuz I think she’s pretty, but urgh Jonas Brothers? God help me. Each time I see them or hear them, I feel like strangling a crocodile.

My face is so itchy right now. If upclose, you can see black dots like tiny little pixels on my face..

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
