face the sun

Well, I'm glad to say that the presentation went...well. I mean, really well.

Encik Ibrahim wasn't present for a reason we were not told, but the five lecturers (including mine) were all there. I was the third person to present.

Basically, what we had to present were these 4 assignements: a mind-map and three posters, all of which shares the subject of "Myself". For the three posters, we had to choose one strong characterisitc of ourself, and aplly that into the posters.

Waiting for my turn was probably that scariest part. I chose to be third, by the way. The faster the better, I say. As long as I wasn't first. Third was the perfect number.

First presenter got mixed comments. There were a few good comments, but lots of questions that he was unable to answer, so that's bad. Second presenter did much better. The lecturers liked her mind-map. But she got some belasah-ing from the "Simon Cowell" of the group (she's female though).

Then it was my turn (my throat had gone totally dry), and...

Well, I guess I did good, because apparently they were impressed.

me: Good morning to Pn Rosyida and lecturers... I guess I can call you the "panel of judges" of sorts...
them: *laugh*

I didn't know what I was saying. It just came out. I was so relieved they laughed and didn't just stare at me blankly.

By the end of the presentation, they were nodding in that way that people nod when they're impressed, which made me relieved to no end. And then one of the lecturers, the only male one, (I really need to find out their names) started to clap and I was all "Oh, Lord..."

Then they started giving their comments.

How do I go on without sounding...perasan? Well, basically they were impressed. Firstly with my English, but this is most probably because they were used to a much lower level of English, since there are very few English-speakers in Unisel. They asked me how I learned such big words/phrases (though I didn't even use big words, as far as I know) like "minimal shading" (that's the one phrase I remember saying), to which I took the liberty to tell them that I sometimes read the dictionary...

They also said that "I know what I'm talking about". I have nothing to say about this. I guess I did, but who would go up to present with no knowledge of what they were supposed to be presenting?

When it was the Simon-esque lecturer's turn to comment, the male lecturer said to me, "You should be proud, she has nothing to say!" Hahah, she did say stuff though. :P

They said lots more...but let's not get into all that.

Basically, I did quite well. Yay me. xD

We were allowed to go home after presenting, so I didn't see the other presentations. I went to lepak with Huda instead. :P

Needless to say, today has been a pretty good day. ;)

Tomorrow is the day we present our Visual Comm final projects; the mindmap and posters we've been working on for the last few weeks.

We will be presenting one by one, with our work pinned up on the wall for everyone to see, and who will be there? Our lecturer, Pn Rosyida, a few other lecturers from the faculty whose names I can't remember and am not sure whether I have to remember, and also Encik Ibrahim, the Vice Dean of our faculty. What the fricking hell, man.

I'm nervous.

I'm feeling... Bah, I don't even know.

Mikey's all restless in her cage. Whether it's because we switched her and Mamat's cages, or because Bianca is gone, I don't know.

If I could do anything I want right now, conjure up any scenario, go to any time frame, I'd be... in school (meaning Sri Aman), in class during a free period, surrounded by friends, both from my class, and those from other classes, chatting and telling ghost stories, with our addmaths books open in front of us - for the moment, ignored.

Wouldn't that be nice?

I want to lie down on the car roof and stare at the stars.

Bianca

RIP Bianca

Weird, she was okay just a few days ago, when I watched her scuttling around in her cage. Last night, when I refilled their feeding bowl, she was in a corner, with her back turned. I poked her a bit, to make her turn around, but she didn't. I did find it a little weird that she didn't instantly go to her food, like she usually did, but I didn't think much of it then.

Then today we found that she was lying down and her eyes were extremely swollen, for some reason. Sickness? Old age? I don't know. I hope she wasn't in too much pain.

She just stopped breathing. We are gonna bury her soon.

I'll always remember her as The One Who Never Once Bit Me, or The Hyper One. She was my hamster. The hamster I owned. The one I chose.

I'm going to miss her. );

I Want It All

Went out to watch HSM3 with Anji, Dan, Acap, Cams and Jules just now.

It was... I dunno. I had no expectations, but I had fun. Although I think they focused a bit too much on Troy and Gabriella (Julia pronounces it 'Grabiella'). And not quite enough on Ryan. I know, I know, Troy and Gab ARE the main characters, yadda yadda yadda. But really. We've seen the whole teen love thing. Now can we please get on?

I liked... I Want It All, Can I Have This Dance (haha), Just Wanna Be With You (cuz of Ryan, mostly) and... Boys Are Back (it was hilarious!). I found the last song, High School Musical kind of sad, really. It was nowhere near as catchy as We're All In This Together or All For One.

But I had fun watching it nonetheless. :)

I want one of those Wildcat hoodies, man. They look cool.

On another note... I wrote a story (fanfiction, actually) that made Huda cry!!! *grins* I'm sorry, Munch, I just can't help feeling proud of that. Proud and gleeful. Hahah.

Seeing as today I hardly did ANY work at all (spent almost the entire day travelling around Taman Tun, Sunway and Shah Alam trying to find a place that could photostat A2-sized stuff on drawing paper), I'm going to make myself wake up early tomorrow and get serious with my assignments. (why does that sentence sound wrong to me?)

Also, I finally bought DBSK's 4th Korean album: Mirotic (what's the first word that pops into your head after reading that?) on Thursday. It came with a small photobook, 2 button badges and a poster. :)

I listened to it once I got home, and I agree with most of the reviews I read of it that it's kind of... boring. I like a few of the songs, but most are... nothing much. Kind of sad, really. But I must say they're vocals are definitely getting better and better. :)

After reading the reviews, I started wondering whether I should get the album. But I'd only heard Mirotic, and I wasn't going to download the rest of the songs. So what else can a fan do but buy the album and judge for herself?

I'm sure if they'd been given the time, they could've come up with better stuff. Problem is, SM works them too hard. I hope they'll be given a break soon.

All that aside, the boys have really Heavenly voices. I love them. <3

That has got to be one of my top favourite DBSK songs. (I bet the only people who would actually click and bother listening are... well you know who you are)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some HSM3 songs to download. ;)

Picture Of You

♥HAPPY BIRTHDAY FEE!!!♥

and your dad, too. :)

The day is yours, babe.

All the times we've shared together;

being crazy in school,

making fools of ourselves in tuition,

being noisy in the cinema,

all those outings when we walked ourselves exhausted,

every single moment with you is nothing short of awesome.

I love you, my butter. ;)
