It's Alright, Just Dance

Although now the exams are finally over, the busy part hasn't end just yet. We still need to figure out about our coming internship and I tell you, finding the right place can be very tiresome. But, why not take a break for a while for a much-needed mind-easing activity with your good old friends. So, since all of our papers ended simultaneously on Tuesday, we decided to kick back and head to the karaoke box and be silly like we always do. I tell you, it was worth every moment of it. The last time we went out for our karaoke session was, like, last year, I guess. For those of you who thought you have had the best time with your karaoke buddies, you have seen nothing yet. When we got together, it wasn't just about singing, but dancing, cracking jokes and other unimaginable silly things - totally fun. Hana recommended us this new place (at least for us) in Sunway Pyramid, called Amp Square Karaoke and it was quite cool. The place was cosy and we only paid the student's price,...

She Writes What?

I can get a seizure just by reading this. Click on the image to view it in full-size.

MASTER BEDROOM + OWN BATHROOM INSIDE RM300 A MONTH ONLY A MALAY GURLZ INVITE ONLY DEPOSIT 1+1 +RM100 (WATER & ELECTIRAL DEPOSIT) ADVANTAGES: NEAR TO KOMUTER EASY TO GET FOOD NEAREST STRATEGIC PLACE GO TO PANTAI DALAM - KL CITY PANTAI DALAM - SUBANG JAYA INTRESTED???? PLEASE CALL TO: I mean, if she's not too sure how the grammar (and spelling) works, just write it in Bahasa then. Besides, she's looking for 'Malay gurlz invite only' so it is still understood if she writes in Bahasa. Save the hilarity and shame...

Stop and Reflect

These few weeks have been stressful and about nothing except my final examinations. I have three more papers to go as I'm writing this but something stopped me when I finally knew what today was all about. It's November 9, 2009 and co-incidentally it marks the 71st anniversary of Kristallnacht. Kristallnacht or 'Night of Crystals' in German was the prosecution of Jew in German in 1938 and marked the starting point of bigger events like genocide and holocaust. Not only that, most importantly we have to remember that on this date too, 20 years ago the Berlin wall was torn down. Bringing people from the East and West Germany back together again after nearly 20 years of its erection. That was the symbol of utmost freedom and ongoing justice liberalisation to the world. Sadly, freedom and just are too far away to be grasped and only a myth when today, another wall is being erected in the Middle East. The Separation Barrier which cuts across Jerusalem and separating innocent ...
