The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

It's week 9 now and I'm surprised that I still have my sanity intact. Projects hanging midways, midterms around the corner and mild insomnia. At this moment, my plans and thoughts are only for tomorrow and if I have the time, maybe the day after.

We had the regular Monday meeting with our Marketing lecturer(codename: sidewinder) today. By the end of the meeting, he usually leaves us with a lot of things to work on. This time however, we finished our discussions in 15 minutes. Indeed, a very rare and precious moment. He even bestowed upon us 2 weeks to complete the whole website. I met up with the designer after that and got him to cut up the images for the website. I am actually pretty excited to finish this off as soon as possible. There's the debugging to look into as well but hey, that's another story. I never knew programming would actually be interesting.

Cruel Cruel Fate

I cannot believe this! Why does fate have to be so cruel? Why!

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 ...
