Letters From Death Row! o.o

I'm so excited cause of the news I received in Facebook, seems like the trailer for "Letters From Death Row" has came out! xD If you don't know what this film is, long story short, a guy got death penalty by something he did (he got tricked in doing it).


This excitement needs to start way back in to couple months back when I met the Director of this film, Kit Lim :)

I actually met him in my college at a Career Convention or something? @@ I can't recall but, me and two of my friends who are also in the broadcasting major went in a room to have an "interview" with him xD I was so nervous that I am the least talkative one in the room >< both of my friends were even wondering why I was so quiet during the interview xP (I can't help it that I'm an introvert guys! and I get shy very EASILY~><)

So when we were interviewing the director, I actually didn't know about the story of "Letters From Death Row", not until the Director told us that he's making a movie about this story. This Director doesn't have the big budget that Hollywood movies has as he is an Independent Director and this is actually kinda his first big movie. :D

As he doesn't have that much budget, he needs his audiences' help to make this movie come true, so he set up an Indigogo page and hope that people will contribute enough for this movie to become a reality! :D

Now, the problem now is that, I don't know how I can contribute cause I sure can't donate >< I think my parents wouldn't even let me o.o so...I'm writing this blog for a starter contribution xD to help spread this news to people around the world :p


If anyone wants to contribute by donating money for this film, Click here to donate! :D (The trailer is in there as well! :D) Furthermore, if you donate, they will even give out prizes~ different prizes for different amount of donations :) (It explains all in the page xP)

So I hope people do contribute, and I hope that I can somehow contribute as well? @@ Cause I really want this film to be real and I really hope to see it one day with my friends :)

Road to Success :)

Of course not forgetting the Quote of the Day! :p

Holidays are the best! :D

Well...I've just finished my first semester of degree........two weeks ago ><

But it's not really official yet, so...I'm hoping and praying that I will get pass with my first sem! >:3


So...alot has happened in the first semester, I met new friends, tighten my bond with my other friends, have a new buddy that I can share everything to and so on :p


Winter Is Coming!


First of is that I wanna say props to my brother that got a job in Singapore which he wanted for a year and a half now xD Congrats my big bro...you deserve it :) But also props to him to FINALLY convince me to watch Game of Thrones...which I want to recommend you guys to NOT watch if you are the ones that easily get emotionally attached to the main characters, but...after my experience watching, this series is AMAZING, even the behind the scenes are amazing, creating something out of nothing is just AWESOME~~ But...a bit of a Disclaimer, if you're gonna watch, just know this...there's gonna be LOTS of nudity/Intercourse...lots of gore/killing and do NOT get attached to the main characters cause in this series, anyone and I DO MEAN ANYONE can die @@

I may go on about Game of Thrones but I do have other things to blab about xP

As you guys probably know, I love watching movies, I just love it~ and recently I think I've found movie buddies to watch movies with? I'm still not sure on that point cause...yes, some of my friends love watching the movies I like to watch but not every movie that I like to watch...you know what I mean? @@ Well...to shorten it, my friends are my movie buddies for some, but not for all? xP (I'm just making it worse aren't I?) Well...hopefully on the next sem, I'll be able to branch out more and mix with other friends of mine to find a movie buddy :D

Speaking of movies, I have watched alot of movies this year :D No surprise there of course since I watch alot of movies every year xP But this year, there were lots of movie that I really enjoyed~ :D Pacific Rim, Man of Steel, Despicable Me 2, and of course Monsters University~! These are just the few that I've watched of course xP but these are the few that I really loved and enjoyed very much! :D

If you guys didn't know, the director for Pacific Rim is the director of Hellboy, Hellboy 2, The Hobbit, and the famous fairy tale like horror movie Pan's Labyrinth :) This director, is in my favorite director list! Guillermo del Toro. He's one of my favorite director mainly because he has a wild and amazing imagination for the creatures he creates AND of course because the creatures are really costumes and not CGI made! I love productions that actually make a costume for the monsters and creatures they create cause that is what makes the movie more REAL you know? :P If you guys like these stuff like I do, check out the Hellboy 1 &2 or Pan's Labyrinth behind the scenes! It shows how Guillermo does his work and how his imaginary creatures come to life! (with a little help from CGI/green screen of course xP)
In Pacific Rim, you can already tell it's a Guillermo del Toro movie when you see the Kaijus xD you'll know why if you have seen Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth :3


I'll not bore you with anything else about the movies I watch >< but I'll tell you this, Despicable Me 2, is worth seeing it in 3D :P

Alright...the next thing that happened in my first semester was...actually when our holiday started xP Me and my group of friends went crazy~ What do I mean by that? Well...the first day we went and watch a movie (Despicable Me 2) in IMAX 3D! then the next day we went Karaoke, then the next day, THEY (not including me cause I went back to my hometown) went to time square...and then, the next week, we went and sing Karaoke AGAIN...then the day after tomorrow...we went to Genting Highlands for a 2 days 1 night trip!!! Confused about the schedule we had for our holiday? Well...to shorten up, we really went all out in spending time together xD the whole two weeks schedule booked up because of them xP No wonder after I came back from my Genting Trip, I was totally exhausted and sleep for almost 12 hours I think? But it was worth the tiredness cause I got to spend two weeks with my group of friends before coming back to my hometown with nothing to do at all x3

I guess that's all I have to update? :p hehe maybe I'll update more next week or two days later >< Cause I have nothing to do right? Might as well blog about stuff :p

PS: I love the quote that I'm putting on this post :3

Forever Alone? @@

Hello fellow readers, once again I was inactive on my blog...which is bad ><

But there is something I've been thinking these days...and this might be because of something I went through during my one week holiday...


So, I actually went to a double date... BUT I wasn't one of the dates, I was actually...being the 5th wheel of that double date. O.O

Yeah...that double date includes my brother - his gf, my brother's bestfriend - his gf, and me.

I actually didn't thought it would be awkward during the date, since I know my brother and his bestfriend is like my second brother, but I was SO WRONG~! ><

I, didn't even feel like it was a date (when I was only with my brother and his gf), I just thought it as a dinner just the 5 of us, but it was still SO AWKWARD @@

When they were talking to each other, or just talking to one another (my brother talking to his gf and my bro's bestfriend talking to his girlfriend) I would just look so blank and I will have nothing to talk about...so most of the time, I'm playing on my phone, messaging everyone I know and tell them to chat with me...

It's not like I was silenced throughout the whole dinner...I did talk to them, but only some times~><

I actually regretted going out with my brother, his bestfriend and their gfs...

Not only that, whenever I go to Facebook, I will usually see most of my friends talking about their relationship with their bf or gf...

I mean, I don't really mind if they like to talk about it, but it just makes me....feel like I'm alone? xD Hahaha...I don't know...I've just been feeling kinda lonely these days and...I never had a relationship my whole life so I'm kinda envious of my friends that has a relationship or was in a relationship before (cause they have the experience) :P

I know this was a weird, kinda lonely post? xP but I feel like I've been inactive here, and this was the only thing that I could think of xD


Alright, I'm going to end this post now >< but not with a quote :)

I feel like this quote is kinda like an motivational quote for me too~ so I had to put it up :)

Lots of new TV Series these days o.o

Once again...I'm talking about TV Series ><

My brother has got to stop introducing me to awesome series~~ I'm afraid that I can't watch them all~~ or focus on my studies (That's worse of course o.o)

But yeah...my brother has once again introduced me to another series...It just started not long ago, but it had already gotten high ratings o.o

What is it called?




Hannibal
Yes...Hannibal Lecter from the movie Silence of the Lambs...If you guys don't know who he is...well, to summon up, he's a psychiatrist......and a cannibal. Yes my readers, he eats humans...But don't worry, this series is not solely just on him, it's about another detective too. This detective, Will Graham uses his imagination to catch villians. Yeah...it's really interesting :) If you watched Silence of the Lambs, you'll know that Hannibal is quite an interesting character, despite him eating humans of course >< I kinda recommend anyone who loves watching TV Series to watch this :) If you don't mind gore and well...cannibalism o.o

My brother did also introduced me to a series call Arrow, but I've only seen the first episode, didn't even finish the first episode really >< But I don't think I'll follow that TV Series xP But I can tell you this...it's definitely a chick flick @@ Wanna know why? The main guy, shows off EVERYTHING when he exercises (body, strength...) And remember this, I've only watched the first episode and already he's exercising and showing off TO THE MAX O.O
Well, this was kinda a short blog, but just wanna update you guys on the series I'm currently watching :) Don't judge me if you think I'm watching too many ><

Anyway, here's a quote :3

Tragedy struck while having fun hanging out with friends :/

Hello fellow readers :)
Wonder what do me and my friends do when our class is reported cancelled? We go hang out and shopping~~ :P

Yes my readers, I had a one day shopping/hanging out day today with my fellow friends~ :3 It almost looks like a reunion party or something o.o

We didn't really shop that much, I bought a few clothes...only @@ We ate the most throughout this one day hang out xD

We first ate Korean BBQ for our brunch, then half an hour later, we had our dessert which is ice cream~~^^ (and I'm suppose to be sick o.o) then shopped at a few places, wonder around, chit chatting~ and we went and ate again~ but this time, it's cake xD

We kept on laughing and laughing for the silliest things, friends kept on taking pics (of themselves and with friends~^^) friends one by one went home...take more pics~ xD I guess it's kinda like a regular hang out day?


You're probably wondering....this is no tragedy...what's with the misleading blog title right? Well...All fun ended when it was time for ME to go home (back to my hometown) Wanna know why? Well...After stepping in to my Aunt's car, I was checking everything was with me...but after I checked...I realized, my dorm's keycard...was MISSING!!!

My dorm's keycard is a very precious thing to me, why? Because without it, I can't go to my dorm of course...not even the entrance! My University is very protective that way...

I panicked...and quickly asked my friends to help me find my keycard, while I kept on checking my bag and pockets...

In the end, you probably already know... No...I didn't find it and now, it's really lost. :/


I guess this is a life lesson given to me by...God? Telling me to NEVER EVER put my precious belongings such as my dorm keycard, in my pocket...

But...this also made me realize (how amazing they are~) and appreciate...my friends :) Because when I asked them to find it for me, they went to EVERY place we've been to and find it...and when they couldn't find it, they kept on asking me to check and check again...and when it was really lost, they felt sorry for me...(Overall, they were very concerned about me ><) It made me really glad to have friends like them :') It also made me appreciate them even more now~~

Well...that happened to me. This tragedy also made me realize something, but maybe I'll tell you in a next post (If I ever remember to write it ><) All I need to do now, is to move on, happily celebrate my mom's birthday with her~ and pay the fees for a new keycard for my dorm on Sunday...

PS: STILL sick...dunno why :/ but I think now I'm getting a cold~~><

Happy Quote to end this post :3

University Life & NEW Banner ~~

Hello fellow readers :) I don't know why I KEEP forgetting to update my precious blog >< Forgive me? Haha~ well...maybe I'm too distracted...mostly by my University Life though...@@

It wasn't what I thought it'll be...Sadly :/
I thought Degree will be better than foundation, but it's worse in my opinion o.o Why? 

First off, Everyone's in groups...
Everyone is not a stranger to one and another anymore...that's not good in my opinion, because it's getting harder and harder to make new friends you know? :/ I was hoping people will interact more with others...but even as they did, it's only for a short while, then they are back to their own "groups'" topic >< (I may be guilty on that part too...but I just hope that they wont isolate the new students and new friends~)

More pressure O.O
Yes...pressure, pressure and more pressure >< During foundation, we didn't even need textbooks, but now? Every subject needs a textbook... Every lecturers said that their lecture notes are just a little "part" of what will be out for exam (and it's a little true o.o)... Tell me you won't feel pressure once hearing that line...>< 

More...interactive? Among lecturers and students
Although the interactions are lacking between students, but it's getting better between lecturers and students :P (In my opinion of course) Because in our tutorial, every lecturer will help each group/students when they have trouble answering questions :) Not only that, there's more activity between lecturers and students, not all according to the book (which is actually nice :D) My favorite was during "Critical & Creative Thinking" lecture (first lecture actually~) Our lecturer called us to draw a normal cup of coffee, and your own creative type of a cup of coffee~ and every lecture/tutorial, he will want to have a "dose" of our cups of coffee at the beginning of the class :P
Note: He kept on saying "Yeah, I remember that" when he sees my cups of coffee xD

So yeah...degree really is a big change from foundation o.O But...I hope that I can get through it~! :D Come on, it's only the first semester right? Can't give up now, can't give up ever :)

Again I apologize for not being active in updating my blog @@ I'll try to update it more often :) Oh, btw I've FINALLY changed my "Blog Tittle Banner", is it nice? Hehe~ I think I did a pretty good job :P (Took me FOREVER to figure out the right size btw...) I hope to make other modifications (If I can of course ><) on my blog...hehe~

Note: Having a sore throat is NEVER fun :/

This quote is awesome :D Originally I wanted this to be my banner xD





Extra quote :D It's not about happiness, but I still love LOVE this quote~^^
