I have come to realize that I need a new 1 TB external HDD. This semester, I have so much video files with huge sizes that they start to eat my space. PC Fair is at the end of the month, so gonna try to somehow find a way to get some money for new HDD ..AND.. laptop cooler, cuz I badly need it. However, my one and only tv in my room is starting to really make loud noises sometime so I’m scared that it can die anytime, which means, if I don’t have backup money to buy another cheap tv, I’m screwed. Televisions are quite cheap nowadays, but I still can’t afford them. I’m so sick of watching a small 14 in tv.

So last Wednesday morning, around 1 am, I watched Michael Jackson’s memorial live on tv and online at CNN.com. CNN did a cool collab with facebook that allows people watching the video to update their status there, so everyone was updating their status like crazy as if they’re chatting, wtf. The memorial was extremely EMOTIONAL. Seriously. I cried. I did not expect that. I was disappointed with the closed casket though but later I found out why. When Mariah Carey started the memorial with her singing, and her voice was like cracking as if she was about to cry, that was sad. It got even sadder when Brooke Shields broke down.. when Jermaine sang Charlie Chaplin’s song from the movie Modern Times, gah too sad! I started tearing up.. at the end when Marlon spoke, I was already in tears BUT when PARIS spoke about her dad.. that was it.. I started bawling my eyes out! Imagine, you’re 11 and someone close to you just suddenly passed away..that has got to be traumatizing so Paris really made me sad. It was weird to see Prince and Blanket just chewing gum emotionless though.

I stayed up until 5 am watching the memorial, along with updating and refreshing facebook because some people were watching it too at cnn.com.

I have more to blog about but I’ll do it tomorrow. I’m so tired right now, I stayed up all night last night finishing my video assignment which thank god, had positive feedback from my lecturer or else I stayed up and worked my ass off for nothing. I’ll post it here sometime soon. Right now I have to do some stuff, relax, then sleep but gah, Saturday class tomorrow morning. I need to start blogging for my other sites .. gah, been too busy. This semester has been my most hectic semester, I can’t believe we’re going into week 9 already.

Oh my uncle came here for a week.

I went to class. After that shot just one scene for the media studies sketch.. that did not go as planned as we planned 3 scenes. Then I had to wait until fricken 4.30 pm for meeting. Alone. Cuz everyone else had class at 3 pm and Jackie had to go home. Why they moved it to 4.30 pm instead of the usual 3 pm is beyond me.

However, it was one of the most hilarious meetings I’ve ever been to. I haven’t had that much laugh or pure entertainment for quite a long time. Okay basically, all of us was there except for Hairi cuz he was late so we started of with theme. I suggested like those aristocrat or masquerade theme. Shi Wei with movie theme and Sherra with Greek theme. Majority voted movie theme. But we can still incorporate the other 2 themes in. I can have whatever theme i want later because I’m the only one from VA that is graduating (gah Jackie, whyyyy x.x) but I’ll also be the only one doing all the planning and designing of my own booth. Great.

When Hairi arrived like half an hour later we started the committee voting and it was so fucking hilarious. Everyone has a position, and I certainly don’t want to be president because I have a lot of crap to do, especially since I’m the only VA major, so I was hoping for a position I like to do most - PR/Promotion. And awesome, Hairi nominated me for PR and majority voted me so I got it :D My partner is Helmi.

It was so funny cuz me, Helmi, Kathy and Hairi are set with Sherra being president (and also she’s the most qualified than others) so she got nominated twice, yet we told everyone to not vote for her and reserve her for the president position.. haha. So yes she’s the president. I also volunteered to be behind-the-scene videographer along with Helmi the photographer and Shi Wei. I should’ve recorded the whole election :\

Meeting went on until almost 6.30 pm, we got locked in the 2nd floor .. then I went to Wendy’s and they have this new promotional ala-carte pepper stacked burger for RM4.99 and it was so awesome.. plus it was Friday so Frosty shake has 50% off AND Chilli is on promotion for RM2 .. omg. It was like my happy moment at Wendy’s. Then I got stuck in traffic jam, and me being stupid did a u-turn, tried to take the highway. At first it looked clear so I was speeding real fast until suddenly cars stopped right before PJ exit due to major bumper-to-bumper traffic jam and I tried to brake but it wouldn’t stop in time.. luckily the next lane was empty and no car behind me so I quickly switched lane while trying to brake otherwise I would’ve crashed into the car in front of me and die. Or at least, be terribly injured.

I reached home at 8 pm >.>I was so tired, and somehow my left leg was in pain so today I decided to skip class to rest. I’m regretting it now.

Oh yeah I want to talk a bit on mesothelioma. What it is - it’s actually a cancer caused by asbestos. Even asbestos can cause you cancer. I’ve blogged about this before but it was quite a while ago. Actually, people needs to be aware of this because you hear so much of other sickness and cancer that something as Mesothelioma cancer is easily ignored yet it is fatal. So if you work with asbestos, do take note on this and how to prevent this from happening because hey, prevention is better than cure right?

Last night I finished downloading “Accepted” movie and it was an awesome movie. I saw the DVD since quite a while ago and been wanting to watch it but I was scared it’ll be another boring teen movie since it’s about a bunch of kids who got rejected with every colleges so they decided to fake an acceptance letter that they got into this non-existant college and then they had to make it happen for real. It’s a movie about finding about yourself, which I like. It starred Justin Long and he’s awesome. Funny movie and I’d totally recommend it if you’re into teen movie.

Okay I have other things to do now so toodles.

I’m very interested to know what will happen with his cute children. Poor kids an orphan at such young age. They do have a mother but she hasn’t been with them for ages so you can’t count that. Probably she will fight custody now because hey — “it’s MJ’s kids, I can make money out of them“. We’ll see. Surprisingly Billy Mays was found dead at the age of 50 too…just a day apart from MJ I think.. weird. RIP.

I’m going to get ready now to go to old workplace to get some stuff. When I was there, it was quiet and empty because one by one finished their internship, but now the other office is a chaos and almost everyone is always there now working part time.. they even watched Transformers 2 together last week.. I was never invited to join anyone for anything while I was there before. But then again I wouldn’t have time because of the workload but still.. I might go watch it tomorrow alone.. I have no one who likes Transformers to go with and those who do, have already seen it.

Since I’m going there, might as well eat Ayam Penyet (flattened chicken) because Ayam Penyet is just simply awesome. Oh and bubble tea. My favorite.

PS: I so need a part time job.

Another artist that died yesterday is Farrah Fawcett. I knew her when I was obsessed with “Man of the House” starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas. She was really huge back then as one of the Charlie’s Angels and also so pretty. But she had been battling cancer so it’s not as shocking as MJ. See, I don’t hear much of her death, because those who didn’t grow up watching Charlie’s Angels would not even know her. Everyone has been saying about MJ, and none really mentioned Farrah except maybe a few.. sad, really. Shows that MJ had greater influence in everybody’s lives.

RIP MJ and FF.

On other completely different stuff… I’m surprised I managed to finish downloading Gypsy 83. I mean, there has been only 1 seeder! The download took a few days but yeah, glad I don’t have to order it from amazon because I’ve tried searching it here and I can’t find it. I have to give props to Sara Rue for her daring act of being topless in the movie.. No comment on Kett Turton, I’m just in heaven everytime I see him. I wish I could have someone like Clive (Kett Turton’s character) because he worships Gypsy (Sara) so he’s like this gay boy toy that you keep and drags around as your companion.

Guitar Hero on Tour Modern Hits for the DS is out. Awesome. I need new microsdhc card.

I went to college, got home at 3.30 pm but was called again for meeting so I rushed to college and as soon as I arrived they all left just like that, wtf. So basically I wasted my petrol and rushed to college for nothing. But at least they saw my face there so it’s okay.

Here’s something interesting. You can have your dna test and then you can find out your ancestors by matching up with your ancestry dna. It can be very interesting you know to find out who you could be connected to.. you never know. Alright, I’m gonna go rest while watching Gypsy 83 or play with my DS… I might fall asleep anyway. Ciao.
