modules i'm taking this semester;=>Camera & Lighting
=>Film History
=>Studio Production
=>Short Film & Video Scriptwriting
=>3D Computer Animation
=>Appreciating Literary Works
=>Psychology of Creativity
my timetable's not too bad i guess. my lecturers/tutors are also okay although i have 3 foreign teachers so i have to try to understand english laced with thick korean/russian/french accents.
yesterday sucked though because i had 2 classes with people i do not know at all. the short morning rain was a preview of my whole day basically, miserable&pathetic. my shoes&socks were soaked and so were the bottom half of my jeans. i was really sick during my second class, i felt like i had the world's worst hangover. i excused myself and went to the toilet to puke my guts out. the worse thing was not being to tell anyone that i was unwell because i did not know anyone! after sitting through the class like an idiot i took a cab home because of this theory i had that vomiting in a cab is better than vomiting in a bus. 99/100 through the trip i realised that i did not bring my keys so the next best alternative was to go to my aunt's place in choa chu kang since i was supposed to go there in the evening anyway. needless to say i made the taxi driver very happy. clementi to sengkang to choa chu kang. i made a stranger $29.40 richer. when i reached my aunt's place i ran to the toilet, puked 2 times then fell asleep.
i foresee many fridays looking exactly like this one.
so i finally had a eureka moment. i've decided that in case life was not worth living anymore, i would do this. invite everyone i hate or people that have pissed me off one time or another to someplace quiet and vacant [undecided as of this moment], under the pretense of wanting to say sorry/call a truce/or something equally lame. i would stand on a podium and read out a long speech. right at the end, i would calmly inform them that i am a suicide bomber for the 'Make Nadia Happy' organisation and right before the bomb that is obviously strapped under my burkha explodes, i would rejoice at the panicked faces in front of me.
you jump i jump, jack.

school tomorrow.13 more days.
wow you win at life.
wow i suck at life.
you know when you're dreaming and then you wake up and you're convinced it really did happen in real life? yeah. i dreamt i was hanging out with the strokes and someone took photos and it came out in the papers and then some girl wrote in her blog that i was some fat lesbian. and when i woke up, i was thinking, 'now why did i dream bout some chick calling me a dyke.' and it wasnt till i was in the shower did i realise that 'shit. i did not hang out with the strokes.' truth be told i've never even come close to hanging out with anyone remotely famous.
school tomorrow.
13 more days.
bye.

last night i dreamt that i was watching a porn movie starring john travolta and some indian chick. while they were getting it on, i suddenly left on a one day road trip around australia and we got lost trying to find my uncle's place and we were going in circles around what looks like a hdb estate. i've got too much on my mind right now i swear.anyways i know the previous post wasnt a real update but i really do have a weird hairdo and i really am going to australia. i hate packing and i always overpack and i hate showing people my passport photo [ask anyone who's seen it. they will answer by laughing hysterically]. all for you, australia!
a real and proper update;
SATURDAY [14.05.05]
woke up pretty early for brunch with my favourite martian kham. we went to hajah maimunah, which has the best ayam bakar ever. ate a lot, talked a lot, snapped a lot.
my favourite martian!
MONDAY [16.05.05]
monday after work i actually dropped by a chalet organised by a co-worker which shocked other co-workers because i am pretty anti-social at work. had a bit of fun, helped reeni, the resident chef, cook because the rest are all useless bummers.
this is reeni the future kylie kwong.
i helped cooked this! well, reeni cooked it and i helped taste it to make sure it had enough salt which was just as important.
afterwards we played cluedo, which i love to play but pretty much suck at.
i only got one card.
TUESDAY [17.05.05]
i went to mustafa centre to get luggage cos im old school like that. i got the best luggage ever, this burberry-tak-jadi one.
penguin and the thing.
WEDNESDAY [18.05.05]
i went out with my spastic twin-cum-ye ye sister, nadia. we went to marche's and ate waffles. my ice cream sucked though, because usually strawberry ice cream tastes like well, pinkish but this one tasted very sour so we came to the conclusion that it must come from wild strawberries. it's okay movenpick, i forgive you. after that we went to the library where i turned into the nerd that i am and became ecstatic at the sight of books. we went to borders after that and then chilled out and talked for the longest time outside of the store. paris hilton imitations and talking bout cars aside, it was fun, just sitting and talking.
2 nadias are better than one. so cliche right i know.
this was at the bus stop and we just took pictures like madwomen with the Freddie Ljungberg cK ad. we even memorised the sequence of the ads, sad to say.
THURSDAY [19.05.05]
omg star wars fans take a good look at yourselves and try to get a life. you guys are almost as bad as lord of the rings fans.
went out with amalina. the poor girl had scrapes and bruises all over from her accident. thankfully she's strong and a shrug it off kinda person. we had dinner at burger king and then walked to a coffee bean where we had the worst snapple ever. alert: do not drink pink leomanade snapple under any circumstances.
random fact of the day; i first met amalina during my secondary school orientation and i thought she was a brat.
another random fact; she probably thought i was too.
when she heard about my adventure with mr ljungberg the night before, she also wanted to kaypoh.
thanks for helping me remember. thanks for keeping me sane.
i woke up super late today and i realise it's going to be the last time i can wake up late in a long, long time because school starts in exactly 4 days.
god help us all.

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Nadia. She was an irrational girl, and often, quite annoying. One morning, she woke up and saw that her right eye was swollen and to her dismay, she realised that she had a sore eye. Grumbling to herself, she went to the doctor, who, after giving her eye a 'bath' told her to not touch it unless when applying eye drops. He also advised her to pin up her fringe, which he noticed was long. So off she went to work, with one puffy eye. All day at work she grew increasingly irritated because she forgot to bring a clip and had to push back her fringe 8375349085738 times.After work, she went home and took a shower and made a decision, one that seemed appropriate and wise at that time. She decided to cut her fringe. With her hair still wet from the shower, she snipped off her long, long fringe. Once done, she looked at them in the mirror, grunted approvingly and went off to read a book.
2 hours later, she walked to the kitchen and happened to glanced at herself in the mirror in the living room. "Holy guacomole!!" she screamed.
Because she realised that, when dry, her bangs........ were pretty darned short loh.
so thats the story, morning glory. if you happen to pass by me on the streets, please try not to snicker because if you do, i'm going to have to kick your ass.
but the eye bath was pretty cool. and whatever, kental bangs aside, im going Australia on the 4th of June for a week!! which means that i'll miss a week of school but let's face it. australia > poly.
wah very exciting right.

you know, my parents are good people and really deserve a better daughter than me.today i watched millions with my movie buddy-cum-surviving-bapok, kham. i loved it, it was whimsical and quirky. after that we went to check out the singapore history museum at riverside point, cos kham(and her other groupmates that we dont care about) will be organising an exhibition there on national day and everyone should go! after that we walked from clarke quay to city hall and we saw that, you know, reverse bungee thingy. which was pretty embarrassing because when the ride started, we were the ones screaming and considering that (a)we weren't on the ride, just kaypoh-ing from the ground and (b)we didnt even know the people that were taking the ride and (c)we actually screamed louder than them......... it was pretty darned malu-ating. yeahhhhhh.
city hall is boring lah i don't know why we always end up there.
as always, pictures;
me being emo.
kham being emo.
this was the current exhibition at the SHM.
the Doll Me Up exhibition is fun, you guys should go and see it.
outside that multi-coloured building near city hall.
in kfc/tacobell/pizzahut at funan, where, for the 3rd time this past 2 weeks, i dropped my drink on the floor creating a sticky and wet and disgusting mess. 3 is a symbolic number.
flash&trash.
anyway, guess who i encountered on the way home?
stupid inconsiderate motherfucker. i hate people like this. almost as much as i hate ah sohs. they think they own the motherfucking place. this one was disguised as a middle-aged man but they're all the same. this is the kind that spit anywhere they damn well please and 'cut-queue' under the pretense of not noticing other people queueing up. oh i know his kind very well. singapore's crawling with them.
in other news, wentworth miller is my new boyfriend.

hi kids. no, i'm not dead yet, just very tired because ive been having insomnia again. tossing and turning every 10 minutes, trying to get my mind to shut off. so fucking frustrating. i wonder if i should go consult a specialist, because im like a walking zombie most of the time.anyhows, a proper update of the past week. let's start with my so called vacation, that was everything BUT a vacation. worst holiday of my life. please let me uninvite myself anytime and everytime any of my relatives suggest a family vacation. the first night of the trip we slept at............ the carpark of some resort at Cherating. because nobody thought of making reservations. why bother? spontaneity is the new black what. as are sleeping in stuffy cars and being bitten by 34983475 mosquitoes at the same time. come-fucking-on. if i wanted to suffer i could have just stayed in my room and sleep w/o turning on the air-con.
thank god it was only for 2 hours, before we went to genting, got a suite, bathed and rest for a while. later that night we went to KL for dinner and a bit of shopping. i was thinking of all the nice things i wanted to get but we got lost. even though we were scheduled to reach KLCC at around 5pm, we reached closed to 7pm. shopping with a time limit is no fun at all. went back to hotel suite, watched tv and slept.
the next day we went to genting highlands which was cold and nice but boring cos we went there already a few months back. i was looking forward for the trip home because this family vacation was a bit too depressing for me.
anyway some pictures;
this was really funny(at that time) because pffff, KL is not at the basement of some carpark in Genting.
TGIF!
Friday i watched Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi with kham. i liked it. simple plot and refreshing cinematography. we went to Spotlight after that because we like to use our hands a lot.(haha)
stupid boy on bus.
my father is Mr Mohd Ali.
i didnt sleep at all that night and only fell asleep around 7am the next morning. it was beginning to look like the most boring saturday ever because i spent bout half the day reading. reading is not boring of course, but doing it on a saturday seemed pretty sad. i ended up watching house of wax with balqis. nyeh, it was a so-so movie. but we both cracked up when paris died though. after that we went back to her house for late supper and watched Six Feet Under and Arrested Development. everybody should watch that latter show because i said so.
Singaporeans' favourite pastimes.
Today i only slept for 3 hours before going to work. i felt so fucking miserable. not only did i get wet on the way to work, despite carrying an umbrella(no thanks to this stupid cheena bitch), i had to help my manager clean the site office room which was shite. but after work, i got to see my homie! ain is a nigga in her own right. dinner at pastamania and dessert at gelare and iced caffe latte for me afterwards just because i havent had it for about 5 days.
this is ain. she loves babi panggang yang halal.
i get to bring home this cute thing! how creepy is that!
attention everyone(especially amalina)!! i got back my sim card so im back to using my old number. could you guys drop me a msg and tell me who you are? my phone book's pathetic! and i cant remember numbers for shit so please please msg me! i need to know people's numbers!
hmm last night i bit off a chunk of skin from my finger and didnt noticed it until the blood had turned black. when i wiped it off, it looked like this;
don't worry, i dont mutilate myself on purpose because i am scared of pain. and this wasnt painful.
by popular demand, i took pictures of my room to prove to people that i am indeed a fat slob.
i swear i'll get it cleaned before the end of this week though!
i think i said that last week. hmmmm.
anyway today is mother's day and i thought i'd give a shout out to the best mother in the world. mine.
*no, im not adopted. i look like my dad, but ive got her nose*
my mom is a small and petite woman but im telling you, she is scared of nothing and noone. she rescues me when there is a cockroach in my room, she ironed my ncc uniforms when i was in secondary school, she shouts and screams at my father and me when we piss her off but cooks us dinner nonetheless, she never ever puts herself before my dad and me and despite me being the worst daughter in the world, she loves me.
dearest mama, you are one hell of a woman.
this post very long hor.
