Dancing Flames In My Heart!

It says:

Cruelty is the absence of kindness.

They say:

Being kind can be a form of cruelty.

Some say:

You have to be cruel to be kind.

Others say:

Cruelty and kindness come hand in hand.

I say:

Cruelty and kindness are pretty much the same!

Life's No Cupcake!

Currently Listening To: I'll Be by Edwin McCain.

Because I am heading to a family trip in Fraser's Hill on Thursday, I have no choice but to finish my Documentary assignment by Wednesday (instead of Friday). I have to make an early head start but somehow despite my so called "omphness", my pink slobbish brain has failed to function. It is "awake" but fails to generate anything other than... well, NOTHING!

And in the midst of "nothingness", I feel so clustered. Will I finish it in time? With lotsa bunny and house chores, the thought of Media Audiences presentation meetings, the re-print-submission of my Analysis for my case study, the midnight movie of Ironman etc. Plus on Wed, there is gonna be another added assignment! Aside from rushing Documentary's essay then, I have to start and finish Pro Comm's forum postings on Wed too (no Fri dateline for me)!

Despite all "worries", my laziness triumph over it! Or maybe my brain is just plain lumpy now. Morever, as said earlier, my otak just cant function! It has failed to comprehend the assignment question let alone have the initiative to "treasure-search" the reader for answers. At first glance, I thought I could do it - almost and maybe a piece of cake! But first impressions are always deceiving. When you actually study the question, it will eventually sink into you that it ain't that simple. Cause if it was, then I would either be brilliant (which I am so not!) or we're paying Murdoch University too much money that they've decided to just "pass" us (with easy questions). LOL! And since it isn't either of them, then I suppose its just plain tough and I need to study! GAG!

Item 3: Film Criticism Essay 1,500 words Value 30%
Due Date: Friday, Week 7

With reference to the first six weekly screenings and lectures, discuss the following five modes of documentary film: expository, interactive, performative, self-reflexive and observational. Present reasons for what you think are the most effective and pervasive(influence/spread out) strategies employed in communicating through film.

The aim of this essay is to test your familiarity with the five modes of documentary film and your analytic skills in critical application. We suggest that you divide your essay into two parts, each addressing one part of the question. In the first part, you should briefly define the five modes of documentary films, illustrating your understanding of the five modes with reference to the six films screened in class. The focus of the second part is on how well you have thought about these modes in terms of effectiveness and pervasiveness in screen communication.

You will be rewarded for original thinking and good examples; precision (preciseness/accuracy) in expression; accurate referencing; and well-developed and organised arguments within the required word limit. Not an easy task, if you are aiming for an HD (High Distinction)!

GARGH!!!!!!!!!

LOL! See la later now....

Lord, please grant me a hardworking spirit, Amen!

Worries of the week:

- Response for assignment 6 postings in the forum (Professional Communication).

- Resubmission of Discussion/Analysis for Case Study - Dove Campaign for Real Beauty (Media Audiences and the Public).

- Meet up discussion for Media Audiences Presentation next week!

- Documentary assignment no. 2! I still have no idea! (have to do an early start - Fraser's Hill on Fri!)

All should be done by Wednesday next week! Then Fraser's Hill here I come!

Despite all worries, I must still give praise and thanks to the Lord for being faithful and abunding in grace. Without Him, I am nothing and through Him, I can do more. Praise to Him with all glory!

Sometimes, I notice the little things in life can just make your day. It does! Try experiencing it more and you'll be more grateful in life. On the other hand, sometimes you can actually feel the 'little things" talking back to you. Telling you little stories or so.

I know it seems crazy... but I guess you need to feel it to know.

"Sometimes a certain presence or gesture makes a difference. A simple smile can stir a heart and a small gentle act of kindness can calm even the furiest of fires. Rainbows aren't that far away... you just need to notice the dainty dews around before witnessing it's little miracles. Behind every drop is a spectrum of wonders waiting to be grasp." ~ P

Butterflies In My Pocket....

I am delighted!

Fairly and cheerfully delighted!

Although I had a boring 6 hour lecture in college, I must confess the little phrases of conversations in between and private snickers got to me. In a cherry way. *Winks*

The bliss of friendship and mutual subconcious understanding is always a way to brighten up one's day.

Despite PMS, I feel a touch of peace. With smiles and bubbles to go with it. Makes sense? I don't know, but it does to me. :D

It is just another simple day. With a spot of grins and a peck of smiles.

All the tiny little blessings just came through and it delighted my heart with a gentle touch.

I guess this is one of those days where God's grace is just so magnanimous. But of course He always is... but today, I felt it exceptionally more. And I thank Him for it.

I am experiencing a pretty jovial day. :)

Blooming Lilies and Sweet Honey in My Mornings

Currently Listening to: Adilkah Ini Untukku (Kris Dayanti and more) - courtesy of Yiang! Thanks so much, the lagu sedap la.. makin dengar makin suka (can relate sikit). :D

It's been sometime since I last felt this carefree feeling. After 2 hectic weeks of assignments, presentations and midterms, I can finally take a breather and laze around (before the next 'storm' hits).

After college matters, the week is pretty much good.

Lotsa nice stuffs with the weekend like steamboat buffet, yamcha sessions, chor tai ti rounds, tea moments, college friends, Starbucks, Midvalley, Nandos, Planet Shakers concert, "thriller car ride of the century", PC fair, new friends, old friends, banana leaf rice, Ikea Swedish meatballs, MCDs, hang outs and just "something" la.

But of course with each happiness, blessings and joys there is always a little down ride somewhere. It maybe the PMS or emoness or just the "bad-ness of me". But Kekadang, I senang terasa and it makes me super sensitive. And when I am sensitive, I can get offended easily or think serong often. I am not kecil hati or what la, I am just a little bengkok inside lo. I blame no one but myself, no I hold no grudges to anyone but myself. So this is a personal matter, my problem not yours.

But along with that, it kinda diminishes my SE and when that happends, it feels really sucky. Kekadang I just wanna wrap myself up in a cacoon and overslept there. Cause everything just seems so pricky. But on the other hand, I love everything around me, my friends (they just make my day - and sometimes they mean more to me than they'll ever know), family, college, life, food, activities etc. But I guess treasuring and cherishing so much makes it even harder to let go or lose. And I guess it scares me a lot. Not only family but also friends. Along in life, you'll notice friends play a more important role in your life. And everyone just seemed more precious than ever.

And yes, I love you guys. Kawan-kawan aku, be it if you're reading this blog or not, aku sayang kau orang! Betul-betul sayang and biarpun kau orang tak sayang me, aku tetap menghargaimu.

I hope for all the best in all of you! Lotsa Huggies and Love! God Bless!

The Breath of Sunshine on My Window...

I hope it's PMS. I think it's PMS. I need it to be PMS.



Cause it sucks to the max and I feel all wobbly and heavy.

"I just wanna cuddle wuddle with a polar bear in the remotes of Antarctica and just hibernate there till the world reaches an apocalypse."

-_-"

Needless to say, I am spiked with everyone and everything.... And I think I am spiking them too!

"Touchy!~"

I wish I was some cute cuddly 3 year old who gets to scream like mad and gets scooped up and dunked in lotsa love and huggies till I feel satisfied.



And since I am *ahem* far from being 3 again, I kept thinking how nice if there would be if I could get some some cute cuddly, fat, chubby and cute toddler/baby to be smoothered in my arms and I get to give it lotsa kisses and just "Eeeeeeee....!!!!!~squeeze???" (Geram aku, haha!)

Or maybe a kitty. A big, fat, and bushy kitty... Actually I was thinking more of a baby kitten but then again, I might crush it if I squeeze too hard. LOL!

Eeeeee......!!!!! Gelora -lah aku!

Masa ni lah aku perlukan boyfriend aku untuk mengenangkan aku, peluk aku, sayang aku and everything will be alright again....

Eh! Tapi aku takde boyfriend la!!! :P

Too bad!! Hence aku tenangkan diri aku sendiri la...

Wait a minute, why am I speaking BM and Eng together?

Must be the influence of watching Gol and Gincu while blogging, tehee...

Lately I have been too critical on almost everything, especially myself and how I see others. It's like I am made out of a lighting rod in the midst of a storm. Things that annoy me, sadden me and things that tick me off just suddenly got more persistent. And I know it's no one's fault but mine. Actually, I like to blame it on PMS~!




Or maybe cause kebelakangan ini aku dah gemuk ke??? -_-"

Or the last two weeks of assignments, presentations and mid-term exams have finally got to me?



Or I am just touchy!?

Or I am hug deprieved?

Or aku rindukan orang ke?

Or aku dissapointed ke?

Or I am lazy?

Or I need exercise?

Or emo?

Or PMS je la!

*Merajuk dan manja* (tu la kemahiran aku!)

Baby la aku ini! PMS je aku dah rasa nak nangis and break out!



Hahaha! At least I let it out in the blog. I hope I didn't get too *ahem* else where. I think I did pretty good in college - was normal (I hope!) despite recent exams and assignments going on.

At home pulak I sulk a lot kat bunnies I. Bully la tu. Yes, I am mean but I sayang you baru mean tau? Hahahaha....

Just a cranky kid la... sabar kejap ya. Lepas "Miss Strawberry" datang and hilang then I'll be ok. :D

"Iiiissshh.... manja la! Oh mr. polar bear, where art thou??!!"
