Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

democracy.
malaysia.
democracy.
malaysia.
this is what i call an oxymoron.
msia? democratic?
well, if democracy means majority rules and let’s-pretend-the-minority-doesn’t-exist, then SURE. malaysia is super the democratic.
or better yet.. majority rules, and if the minority doesn’t agree with the majority, wave parangs (better still, keris-es) at them, and threaten to kill them.
WAIT.
i know other defination of democracy which fits malaysia..
only those in favour of the present ruling government are represented. the rest of you, just shut up.
seriously.
i just so happen to be studying abt the electoral system/democracy in the uk, while back home there’s smth abt the elections and also the whole protest thing that was just hilarious.
i can’t remember the name of the minister who was interview by al-jazeera, and also don’t remember much of what he said.. but suffice to say, it made my day.
i wonder if he has ever heard of the this thing we lyk to call DIPLOMACY.
and also this language that we speak.
ENGLISH.
goodness.
pretending not to be able to hear the interviewer when you don’t want to answer a question is smth ppl in their pre-teens do.
o_O
and then of course, to put the icing on the cake, he had to end the interview accusing the network of being bias towards the opposition.
very diplomatic.
i’m amazed that you aren’t lyk the prime minister.
and the Uk think they’ve got problems, what with the first past the post thing, and not proportional representation.
oh, and another brilliant thing abt malaysia’s democratic-ness.
2 orang ulu in the middle of the jungle in sarawak make a constituency.
5,000 people (let’s not bring up the whole race thing) in central kuching in sarawak, ALSO represents a constituency.
brillant, aren’t we?
it’s not that i want to hate the government.
they are just making it way too hard to love them.
and i’m not doing anything wrong ‘bad-mouthing’/speaking the truth.
freedom of speech, human rights!
*this is the side effect of too much consti law-ing over the last few days*
and now, for more abt me.
i am busyfied.
i have 5 supervisions next week, meaning 5 pieces of work to complete.
but then after than hurdle, its h.o.l.i.d.a.y.s.
yay.

lost in translation…

…of a map.

i got lost.

in cambridge *not funny, don’t laugh*

well, wanlin and i got lost.

basically, we turned the wrong direction and instead of heading to new hall, we were heading away from it.

how smart.

took us 45mins or more to cycle from church back to newhall, which if we had not gotten lost, should only take us 20mins. max.

and the wind was so awful that you have to cycle super hard to move.

so now, i am blardy exhausted.

but i cannot go sleep because i just had 12 hrs of sleep last nite, thus now i have to do work.

gt an accounting supervision tmr, and i have to prepare for it.

gaah.

and again i managed to waste my weekend by doing goodness knows what.

hmmmph.

so now for some work.

and tomorrow i shall go enjoy by heading to the new shopping mall in cambridge!

already spotted a HUGE h&M.

yay.

and heard abt the 50% and everything.

i HAVE to go shopping tmr.

Grand Arcade here i come!

5th week blues

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

the dreaded 5th week has arrived, and grace is very much so feeling the 5th week blues.

she is extremely sien & rather depressed for no apparent reason.

all she wants to do is sleep.

either that or watch oc over and over again.

grace thinks she is going mad.

after all, life in cambs i pretty good, rite?

so why is grace feeling so down?

this is a very complicated matter.

oh, and grace is also very sad, because her pimples refuse to budge.

boo hoo.

grace wants holidays.

grace loves being a bum.

unfortunately, during the christmas hols, grace has a project to do.

yes, a project.

one that involves the 6yrs worth of financial reports she has to read.

grace doesn’t lyk projects.

nor does she lyk financial reports.

except grace lyk the covers of the financial reports, which are colourful & cute.

grace thinks her dos thinks she is probly an idiot, seeing as how i made ’so many’ generalisations when i wrote my essay, but was being nice by telling me it was a potentially good essay.

key word here being potentially =\

grace also thinks she is way too shallow, compared to the many ppl here in cambridge.

this is after realizing that all she watches are chick flicks and teen soaps.

and also, she doesn’t read intellectual books, and her general knowledge is close to none.

this is proven as she forgot who lim goh tong was.

well to this, grace thinks she will nvr change cos she enjoys being who she is.

see what grace means by 5th week blues?’

lyk all the random depressing thoughts appear in your mind, and you start thinking you are going mad.

grace thinks this is enough depression for one day.

on a happy note, grace is happy because, she finally finished her project.

unfortunately it is kinda late and time for bed.

thus leaving grace no time to do anymore nonsense.

grace is also super annoyed at friendster for not letting her post up pics!

stupidity.
