Introduction of the Casts

I initially hoped that this semester would be an easy ride; all I had to do was enjoy the view and the wind from the back seat. But things always do not go the way you planned them, do they?. Well, that is, when I am the one planning, there is without fail, a sharp turn offroad somewhere along the way.

My first lecture, Multimedia Marketing, is a fine example to start off with. I went to class thinking it would be a simple management subject, with high possibilities of scoring an A. However, after the lecturer finished with the introduction, I started wondering if this is an elective that I can drop. It would be a dream subject had it not clashed with my hopes of lazing around this semester. There will be hard work from the beginning to the end. Sadly, there will be no spoon-feeding either. I have gotten quite used to that after being here for so long.

The second in line is Media Law, a promising subject I should say. One with tonnes of reading and arguments, with the law as the guidelines of course. But can there be true justice based on the law on man? I wonder ...

Then there is Introduction to Cyberprenuership, a one credit hour subject. I faithfully went to class today only to be told that the faculty has withdrawn the subject. I later spent the whole day running between four different faculties to register the subject. All that trouble for a one credit hour subject!

Tommorrow will be Computer Networks at 9 a.m., my Achilles' heel. I loathe it with all my heart. Not a very positive attitude to begin with but I just cannot help it.

And finally on Friday, Games Foundation, a subject with interesting assignments and one that I will enjoy no doubt. I just hope that there was no tutorial today as I slept through it. I snoozed the alarm until 11 a.m. Don't you judge me!

Well, that's it then, the ensemble, the casts for this final semester.

Cruel Cruel Fate

I cannot believe this! Why does fate have to be so cruel? Why! The first time I took this subject, the coursework was as such: Test 1 – 15% Test 2 – 15% Project – 10% Final Exam – 60% I did moderately well for the first test but I flunked the second one. As for the project, I had this sadistic lecturer who failed me without any valid reason. I tried to reason with him but it was pointless. I was so fed up as he would not even listen to any sound reason. How am I to plead my case if I am not even given a chance defend myself or make my point audible? He was so sloppy while marking the project and just rushed off to the next person without even properly ending the current presentation. It was all so confusing as nobody knew if their project was accepted or rejected. My presentation was on the last day, so you could very well imagine the chaos. The second time I took this subject, ...

Pride & Prejudice

Finally, Pride and Prejudice on the big screen! My all time favorite Jane Austen novel. No doubt that there would have been older remakes, both movies and dramas but a newer version is always welcomed. They have been other Austen movies on the big screen as well, namely, Emma, Sense & Sensibility and Mansfield Park. Personally, Emma was adapted well into a screenplay but Sense & Sensibility was a flop. The book itself, to begin with, lacked some personality and that impeccable Austen humour evident in her other books. Pride and Prejudice has a set of well developed characters especially the two main characters Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. There was a mini series in 1995 if I am not mistaken, with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. He played the role superbly well, potraying Mr Darcy as a cold, insensitive and arrogant man. He is actually a pretty nice guy but only around his family and close friends. An encounter with Miss Bennet however, opened his eyes to the flaws ...
