Rumours of a spotcheck ....

Well, I was doing my report (I started at around 3 p.m. and was still doing it until around 10 p.m.) today when I was interuppted by my roomate.

"Hey it seems there are gonna have a spotcheck!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, my mind started kicking into action. Off the computer, put everything into the cupboard, lock it and then go have a shower. Yea, wait it out in the toilet. The perfect plan. But wait! Don't get too excited ... confirm with someone if it is for real.

So, I called my friend who was in another wing and asked her to contact me if anyone comes over to her room for a spotcheck. In the meantime, I started gathering my bathroom gears. As I was about to leave, I got a phone call. Yes, there is a spotcheck going on. Someone just came over to her room and did the routine search. Great! By the time I took my bath and washed my clothes, they would have already passed by my room.

When I returned from my refreshing shower, I was informed that nothing happened. Can you believe that?! All that preparation for nothing. It was 11 something and very unlikely for them to continue with the spotcheck. There might be a possibilty of one tomorrow. I definately don't plan on staying in the room.

Off to the library!

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 ...
