Movies and Virus

Hello,

It just felt like such a long time that I haven't update this lil thing. Due to lack of interesting info in my life, I've decided that it is better that I leave this blog alone.

Well,

Yesterday I decided to watch Johnny English and Contagion. Yes, two movies in one day. Well, Johnny English was great for a good laugh. It's Rowan Atkinson, so what do you expect right?? And Contagion was not really memorable. But it was a movie with a message. First, don't trust rumours and duh! not everything on the net is true. And stop being so paranoid; this refers to the weaponised thingy. 

Contagion was based on a true story, many may relate it to H1N1 disease, as it was the recent contagious virus that had been spread worldwide.In fact, the movie is actually based on the incident happened in Malaysia back in 1998, which is called the Nipah Virus. And....it is Malaysian whom actually found the vaccine for the virus. C'est pas americain.

In 1998, I was 10 years old. So, I wasn't paying much attention to such disease as my father told me that it got something to do with the pigs. Yeah, we actually had to kill a lot of pigs here in Peninsular Malaysia, to avoid the virus from spreading. I remembered that.

How the virus exist in the first place, it actually explained in the movie. I don't wanna spoil it here. As for merely  reviewing the movie, it was not a boring, serious type of movie. It is serious but not boring.

That's it for now. 

Serious change

As I mentioned earlier, since I had that wonderful nap of mine...at 4 a.m. I can't sleep. While I was watching the second season of sex and the city, my mind wandered off the show. As time passed, I know that I have to get serious with this application of post-grad studies. OK, application is always going to be meticulous and I know that I can handle it. It is the fact of being a student studying International Relations that scares me.

Why??

It is because I haven't prepared myself for it. All I did was watching some silly TV series and I perfectly knew that I should be reading on serious foreign relations stuff. Issues regarding the world and I am supposed to have some thoughts about it. But, the truth is...I haven't done any of that. Therefore, my knowledge is zero.

Then, how am I supposed to handle discussions??? God! that this scares me...

So, I think that I need to make some serious change in my life. Going back to reality and the holiday is over!

Wish me luck :)

Silly

It is so silly of me to take a nap at 9 p.m. Now at 12 a.m. I am wide awake and I know that I will only get to bed at 6 in the morning. Not only that, I took my nap in less than an hour after dinner. Later, I know that I'll be saying that I'm fat and such, but the fact is....I just didn't take good care of my body.

Lately...I have been feeling that my body isn't in a very good form, and I'm only 22. I just don't have the strength and stamina like i used to. That is why the current obsession with all the physical activities happened. I just want to be the person that i used to be. 

I only got myself to blame.

Insomnia

It is 2.45 a.m.

And, I can't sleep. I'm not insomniac by the way. When I was studying or working I had no problem going to bed early, because I was exhausted, but now as I am free, it was kind of hard for me just to sleep early. Maybe I have seasonal insomnia, like seasonal depression.

Oh well, I have just finished watching the first season of sex and the city, I know that it's like wayyy outdated, but at this age watching it...I can finally understand the series. I was watching the second movie of it on HBO the other day...and I was curious to know how the series actually is, so I search for it and give it a try. It was fun. Hehe

And now, I am writing...don't I just feel like Carrie Bradshaw right now?? haha dans ma reve! If only i had my own column. If I have. what would it be about??? And my writing isn't that great anyways. One of the reasons why I set up a blog, is to practice writing.  I just hope it works.

Apart from that, I just feel that writing gives me a peace of mind. I can actually vent, but I do need to self-censor myself here. It doesn't substitute an actual person. HEE

Now, I will move to season 2. hehe. Time for some therapy?

A la prochaine fois :)

Just a lil update

Bonsoir tout le monde!

I felt like it has been ages that I hadn't update anything. I was in the area where there is no internet connection (for me at least). Well, in the past few weeks I was busy with all the preparations and celebration of eid mubarak. It was hectic but yet fun because of the visiting and gathering with the family members. The usual.

A lot of drama also happened in my life, but my blog isn't about trash talking and dropping names...I've passed that phase. 

As the month of Ramadhan had passed, I've started doing my circuit. A brutal exercise circuit but the outcome of it is splendid. Now, I am so pumped to do adventurous activities that I used to love. Current curiosity are hiking, water rafting or water tubing. Hehe. (I've never did those things)

My dream now is to have a ripped body. HAHA

Not only that, I have also missed speaking French, sort of missed learning the language. 

And...a little update about what I'm going to do, I'm going to take IELTS soon, but I haven't go through the application process and such, will get that settled soon. Once, I get my result, I am thinking about going for consultation for my postgrad studies in the UK as well as other parts of Europe. Seriously hoping for Belgium, there's Kent Uni there, in Brussels. The main reason for Brussels is that some people speak French, so maybe I can learn and practice it there and still studying and do my dissertation in English. 

Oh well, as a human I can only plan, it is God who makes the decision.

A la prochaine fois!

Au revoir :)

p/s: I've been neglecting this blog for so long. The interface has an update. It really has been ages. :P
