No title... ...

It's study week! I'm suppose to bury myself in a big piles of books and eat them page by page. Why am I here babbling about common university student's complaint?

Maybe I really need to complain.

It's been four days already since I last came down from Kampar to K.L. and I'm still not in the mood to study. I want to transform myself back into the nerdy clement... ...The feeling of not being able to study normally is giving me some sort of stress...

Stress??

It feels like you have nothing to do the whole day and always giving yourself excuses that there'll always be tomorrow. So, sit back and relax the whole day scratching here and there, watching tv shows, chatting on the MSN, updating my blog (which is very rare thing for me to do) and surfing the net to look for more classical music. Ah, it feels like school holiday. I hate that feeling during the study week.

I was thinking that I would study better once I returned to K.L. but the results are still the same. I'm still having this relaxing lifestyle like I'm still in Kampar. To makes things worst, I'm feeling empty now because the whole house (my brother's rented condo) seem to be so quiet in the mornings, afternoon and even evening. I know I like a quiet environment to study but staying at home alone for the whole week makes me grow mushrooms.

Ah well~ All I need to do now is to force myself to study even if I don't want to. I don't want to hurt my butt during the exams! Yeah, after all, it's for a few weeks that I need to struggle. So, what's the big deal!

... ...Typical Ramblings of An University Student... ...

Don't get fooled~

Just today, I went to the Pesta Buku Antarabangsa held at the Putra World Trade Centre. To my surprise, the whole event was a total failure. At first, I was fooled by the word "antarabangsa" which means international thinking there are books from around the globe that would somehow enlighten me. But, guess what? The publishers are all locals and the books are mostly based on Islamic teachings and our local educational books. It's rather bias, don't you think so? It's even worst when people are fooled by that one word that you placed on the banners along the road. Wouldn't it be disappointing for the visitors who came all the way from Sarawak to attend this exhibition?

Very very disheartening...

I was so hoping to grab so really great books to boost up my maturity so as to look non-child like as well as able to think and act rationally rather than riding a tricycle along the streets of kampar like a little fat ass clown shouting and laughing "wakakakaka!" ... ...

sighs~

I'm complaining all this since it involves the public. Even if there are international books being sold but they have leave early perhaps because people don't seem to read "ang moh" books, but at least put up a notice when they will be leaving. At least, people can save up the petrol, time and money to go somewhere else even syoking than to stuck in the jam and sandwiched in the bustling crowd. It's really tiring!! To makes things more frustrated, I only see Malay books every hall I entered. Look, I'm not discriminating but I just want to point out that if you want to hold a book fair solely for malay and Islamic books, it is important that you state that in the banner... ... Don't cause confusion in the public... ...

p/s: The moral of the lesson is, do not be fooled by the words. Even it's written with something like, sangat lazat..it can turned to be sangat zatla..sounds like jiat lat~~~XD (syok sendiri)

Mozart Oboe Concerto

This is one the scene in Nodame Cantabile. Listen to the oboe been played. The tune sounds marvelous. You will immediately feel yourself in a fairy land. The whole orchestra will somehow made you blush with shades of pink. Really! If you listen to this piece wholeheartedly, it can make your bad day to be turned into a wonderful day~!

of strings, bows, timpani, woodwinds, and piano...

Ahh~~ I've been captivated by the beauty and the symphony of these instruments especially the oboe, flute, violin and piano. The melodious tune of each instruments soothes my heart and soul as well as reflecting the excitement, pain and sorrow of that music piece.

Oboe, a kind of woodwind instrument.

All this music thingy came about when I first watched the japanese drama series, Nodame Cantabile. It's a great musical drama masterpiece, I can assure you of that. Well, it's not like high school musical where they jump and sing all day long even in the golf field... ...=_=" No offense, ya! I just felt that the whole movie feels like American version of bollywood... ...

Back to topic... ...

By the way, spoilers ahead.....

The one on your left holding a conductor's baton is chiaki shinichi while the girl beside him is nodame. The far left is the violinist, Miki Kiyora along with Mine Ryuutaro a violinist too beside her. The one with the afro head standing behind chiaki is the timpanist, Masumi and the one holding a kontrabass is Saku Sakura. Standing beside nodame is the soprano, Saiko with the useless guy standing on the far right is another conductor, Ookochi Mamoru.

Let me introduce this series to you guys. It's about a guy called shinichi chiaki who was born in Germany who enjoys orchestra performed by his idol of all times, Sebastiano Viera since young. Because of that, he dreams of becoming a famous conductor. Soon, he was recruited as one of Viera's apprentice. However, he was flown back to Japan when both of his parents divorced. He was devastated at that time and made a promise to Viera that he will come back to Germany again. Unfortunately, the airplane that he boarded had an emergency landing which causes him to have this airplane phobia as well as hydrophobia since he was nearly drown in a ship trip to somewhere. Both of this phobia kept him from going abroad and he landed himself in a local music university. He was really frustrated about his talent wasted in his own homeland. But his desperate came to an end when he met a weirdo girl by the name of Noda Megumi also known as Nodame in this series and also Viera's worst rival and a total pervert conductor, Streezemann. The story continues when he became the conductor the first time in his school orchestra called the S-oke (abbreviation for special orchestra) which consists of all those underrated music students. Also, with the help of nodame, he was able to get rid of his phobia though not completely and go abroad to continue conducting more wonderful and magnificent orchestra.
Hey, you should really watch this series if you are interested in classical music. Even if you are not interested in classical music just like me before, you will somehow fall in love with the music and rhythm of each orchestra, piano, violin performed magnificently. Of course, this series is also incorporated will lots of humorous scene that will really made you laugh out loud till you can't even sit still on your chair! This is a must-watch series!!

Another update on kampar....

Sometimes blogger really pisses me off because the image uploader is damn slow! I've tried in the morning, noon and now, it's only starting to upload a few image. Still, it's freaking slow! I have to upload them one by one instead of the usual five-in-one-go style. Plus. the weather here kampar is weird. First, it's hot till your skin is scorched then it pours like kampar's going to be flooded in no time. As expected, weird weather always causes illness among us poor students. The good news is, I'm as fit as a fiddle. Haha! Another thing, the farking modem just broke down a few weeks ago which, again pisses me off. I need the internet to do my assignments la and to frequently update myself with the latest manga la. Argh! Of all the times... ... Now, I have to borrow the internet line on the 3rd floor to surf the net!

OH.....MAMA!!!




Crap! When I want to move a whole bunch of paragraph to the top part to be my opening introduction..i accidentally deleted all the photos..damn! Why can't blogger have the "undo" function?????

"heaves sighs after complaining"... ...

Well, since my brother borrowed me the "dunno-what-model' cannon camera, I've been trying my best to capture some pictures. Though photography is not my specialty, I think the pictures taken will be enough to let you guys know what I have been doing in kampar. After all, it never hurts to go flashing around with your newly acquired..or rather borrowed camera in a small town like this.

Anyways, first off,

I saw this the first time I reached kampar. Looks familiar? Hah! I guess you all should know the similarlities in the name of the famous fast-food (fried chicken) and this new restaurant. Quite innovative, right? Was thinking of having my own fast-food restaurant... ... How about CFC...Clement's Fried Chicken, Finger Licking Fabulous...

Come to think of it, it's not that bad! XD!

The curry noodle that I've taken in kampar. Quite nice. The sticky-ness of the gravy and the spicy-ness really made me syok! It costs about RM 4.50 which I think it's rather reasonable. And also, the sea coconut desset. It's a bit too sweet for me though. Taste like the syrup in the longan can. Price: RM 2++.

The mixed rice here in kampar is damn cheap. Look here, I took 2 half-sliced japanese tofu, potato stew, two vegetables and a big bowl of soup. It only costs me RM 2.70! My jaw dropped when the auntie told me the price. Unlike our university's canteen, the auntie gave a few stalks of vegetables (somemore, it's not fresh green but yellow...I wonder if they kept it overnight) and a few pitiful pieces of chicken. They charged me RM 2.70! Stingy bunch of canteen ppl... ...

Who says cats lives mostly in Kuching. Kampar has lots of cats too~ Especially the ones that I like the most. See this cat, the fur is just so similar to my cat in Kuching. Too bad that cat of mine lost himself in deep space coz each time I call him by meowing loudly, my neighbour thought of me as a kid who's desperate and in need of a pyschiatrist for counselling and guidance.

The sleeping version of this "kawaii" cat. Hey, cats is really good at choosing place to sleep. This cat just step on the scooter and sleep away like a log!

It's cat mating season. The pair of cats is certainly a lovey-dovey couple. They're a bit too loving until they want to show their love in front of the public~ Wow~ love is really powerful...because of the affection that grows greatly between each other, they like to share their love with others too~

On second thought, the male seemed to be unhappy... Maybe I flashed too much.

p/s: Flashing with a camera = A papparazi. Oh please, without flashing, how am I suppose to take syok pictures... ...Hahahaha!

The effect of stress is... ... W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L~

This kid's really a game freak. I mean ordinary game freak will just crave for games in a normal way but this kid is just plain crazy. Well, I won't tell you much coz I don't want to be a spoiler. You'll just have to sit back and enjoy watching this clip.

On second thought, I won't call this relaxing..It's rather annoying and...stressful to watch.

Mooo~

And so, after a long period of hiatus, I now declare I'm officially landed at the land of the cows....

KAMPAR....

"Moo~~~care to feed me some grass? Or else I'll sh*t anywhere I like! Moo~~~mOooOoOoOoo~~"

Hmm..It's not that bad living in a small town like this really. I'm just short of entertainment these days. No internet, no television, no my baby (PS2), no money....Argh! But..., I'm still able to survive the harsh days without going crazy thanks to my bunch of crazy friends.

seriously can't live without them~~~

About school life, nothing change much. Just a bunch of new lecturers and new friends and some old friends from my previous Petaling Jaya UTAR campus. Lotsa trees and lakes surrounding the new campus. It's rather conducive for students like us to study. Future TESCO (a shopping mall) opening soon but I can't even see the poles sticking out. Sighs, there's still a long way to go...Right now, I'm counting on the old grocery stores to provide sufficient food and drinks to sustain my life span in Kampar. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to shed some pounds off my jelly-ish body to look "physically acceptable"by the girls -__-""

heh, that's all I guess! I have nothing more to blog about now~~I'M SO DEPRIVED OF INTERNET NOW THAT I HAVE TO SPEND MY NAPPING TIME USING SCHOOL'S COMPUTER TO UPDATE MY DESERTED BLOG~
