Beautiful Sunday

This Sunday has been very eventful, to start out with.

Still can't locate a copy of The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada even at Amcorp Mall, but none the less the place is indeed a living wax museum with a pulse. Plus, I got the next best thing - three books for the price of RM50; hardcovers in good condition. It's definitely a place to visit more than just once in a blue moon.

I've also conducted a brief experiment to see how much one can gain from Fanfiction.net. By posting one fanfic, I can't believe that I got 5 reviews in less than 24 hours. This goes to show just how one topic can link people from around the globe! Thank you reviewers! :)

This was supposed to be posted 3 days ago

I'm going to be keeping up my posts, mostly becuase I want to remember my thoughts about delving deeper into the world of arts.

Three weeks have gone by and I am still hoping to hone my writing skills (you can never stop learning) as well as my confidence and my social capacity (conversing, speaking up etc.)

JRN expects me to keep up with the everyday news, which is something I don't do on a regular basis unless it concerns the film industries.

Now, I am in dire need of a moment of clarity. I'm expected to write two 1200+ word essays which are due next Monday and 1st of April. One will have me blabbering about the importance of media studies, while the other is a comfort in analysing The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

A Very Merry (Not-Un) Birthday - To Me!

March marks a month of momentous meanings and mouth-watering movies.
It’s that time of the year again.
Only now, I once told myself I didn’t want to keep adding on the digits, because it would mean having to step further and further and start taking up more responsibilities.
Nevertheless, it probably feels different this year because I’m on my own. Being in charge for the next few days. Thinking about Mum and Dad who are off on their holiday to Vietnam.
I’m writing this in longhand because the net’s dying on me. Plus, the day is still young and there will be plenty more to write about on this very special day.
Will post something later. And while I’m at it, I’m going to write more now that being a year older stimulates your brain juices.

I’m back - from a very important date.

What better way to celebrate a birthday than to have a tea party? And that is what me, my sis and Ee Mah had at Winter Warmers and Krispy Kreme.
Alice in Wonderland proves that Tim Burton has once again poured in his eccentricity, though the film is a little bit confusing at times. I want a Dormouse as my bodyguard and a white rabbit for an alarm clock! And Alice reminds me strongly of a modern Joan of Arc in her battle armour.
And now, before I turn in for the night, here’s a poem from the original story:

Twinkle twinkle little bat,
How I wonder what you’re at.
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
