BEST MC EVER!

Dear readers,

Ever had one of those days when you just feel like crap? Well, today is such a day for me. I woke up moderately early and prepared to go to work. After donning on my work attire, I just sat on my bed and zoned out for 5 minutes. I imagined having difficulty in breathing and a myriad of other tropical diseases. It's amazing what the power of your mind can do to your body. The next minute, I messaged my team lead and told her that I won't be coming in as I was not feeling well. There was not much to do at work anyway!

I then spent the day sleeping. I was exhausted for pete's sake! I woke up at 1, made lunch and idly passed the time reading a book. At around 5, my cousin came back and asked if I would like to follow her to watch "The Showdown of Champions" in Bukit Jalil Stadium. Hell yea!! We got dressed and headed to Masjid Jamek by 5 p.m to avoid the "working crowd" rush. We then waited for another hardworking cousin who needless to say, got caught in the chaos.

The Usual Suspects

We reached Bukit Jalil in good time and ate and drank our fill of fishball, popiah and orange juice. The game only started around 8 p.m. It was awesome to watch them play. Their fitness level was really admirable. I felt so geared up start my cycling routine again.

For more info on the game, visit my cousin's blog,

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 ...
