Firstly, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to everyone. :)
Secondly, I FINISHED NANOWRIMO. Brought the laptop to Gombak where I spent four hours in front if it typing. Finished a little before midnight then went to sleep for Raya the next morning, that is today.
I feel like I can breathe again. Haha. Now time to hit the pile of writing assignments!
The past two weeks have been wicked fun. :) I didn't get to do a few things I wanted to ... I didn't get started on my new DIY frame kit for one thing. And I didn't have time to make my cover for next year's organizer. Or watch some DVDs I've been planning to watch. But here's a dump of stuff. It's more for my benefit really ... so when I look back on this post I'll remember what was going on.
WARNING. Big fat post.
This is my cover for my NaNoWriMo novel. :) Made it myself on a whim. I'm quite fond of it. So far the word count is at 34,368. I have another week to pull almost 20,000 words out of my butt. I can do it! Insyaallah. I really want to get to the finishing line for this thing.
This song is the soundtrack of my MONTH. I love it to bits and pieces. And I FOUND IT FIRST. GRR. I was listening to it for like a month before the radio started doing it. I'm ticked that they got their cheesy mainstream media hands on it but at least if he gets a bigger audience in Malaysia, the chances of him making a concert here is higher. Hmm.
I also made a little something on GIMP2. Super proud of it but can't post it up yet because the person it's meant for hasn't seen it yet. Maybe in another month. ;)
Movies I watched:
I cried. Haha. Yenny laughed when I told her that but I could see her wiping her eyes too. Hehe.
This was tiring to watch. A lot of the time I had my hands covering my face going "OMG DRIVE FASTER ARGHHHH". SPOILER here skip to next paragraph if you don't like it. The only bit that really stayed with me was the ending: "Where have you been all my life?" "Gift shop." Hahahaha that made me smile.
Yes I know lah, lambat tengok. Haha. Borrowed the DVD from Acu and watched it on the comp. OMG I love it. The geek in me loves it. I love it like I love every other epic sci-fi fantasy I've ever encountered. Haha. I can't wait for the sequel. It's so quirky and FUN. I love the little Russian dude. He is adorable. Hahaha.
Good gosh, I love this movie. It's so cool. The animation is pretty freaking awesome and even thought some of it was pretty weird, that made the movie even quirkier. The soundtrack was very dream-like, which I think was a nice choice. Gave it a dark sort of feel. I wouldn't mind watching it again.
People who made things interesting over the past two weeks:
Saltwater Roomies - Nigel, Sammie and Marc. ;) Played Sims3 (or rather, Nigel played it while the rest of us lurked in the background) which is a messed up soap opera and then went to OU for waffles and pool (which was mostly Marc and Sammie, the rest of us just lurked in the background).
Yenny! Partner in crime (I'm just the sidekick, she's the evil genius) and NS buddy. Haha. Had lunch and managed to catch Time Traveler's Wife a half hour after it started. Then had our customary chit-chat session over lunch and a mini road trip back to her place. Kinda sad our day got cut in half though. :(
Hamizah my listening ear. x3 We bumped into Hani at Nichii. So cool. Went swimming at Hamizah's place and had some heart-to-heart timez. Spent the whole day together. Had a great time. Here's to hoping it doesnt rain in the evenings so we can actually do our jogging thing. Haha.
And my Sri Aman lovelies. This was the best picture we could take with all four of us at once. Haha. Sophie, Hannah and Aidil. We spent our time taking pictures with kiddy rides. Or rather, Aidil spent her time taking pictures with kiddy rides.
Soph didn't take pictures with the kiddy rides. Haha.
Anyway, I had a great time. Now it's time to GET THINGS READY for 3rd sem. Cool. :)
Old video of my cover for Man Who Can't Be Moved. First song I ever played without sheet music. The first time I heard this song was on the radio last year while I was studying for SPM. I was crazy about it but I always missed out on the DJ giving details about the song name and the name of the band. One night, the DJ played snippets of the songs coming up within the next hour. One of it was this song. I was so insane over finding out the band, I didn't move from my room even when Mama called me over to watch something on TV. I waited for 45 minutes! Gosh.
Anyway, since then I was kinda obsessed. That's why I started playing it on the piano. I love playing this song, it makes me feel peaceful inside. :)
Speaking of creative projects, my NaNoWriMo is, by right, 8,000 words behind my goal for the middle of this month. Have to catch up on that if I'm going to hit 50,000 in the next two weeks. Hmmm.
Sorry for lack of updates. Just don't feel like updating so much.
This made me laugh so hard. I dunno, it's just the expression on their faces and the way Robin's saying it.
Oh, exams are over. Best feeling ever. It's been one heck of a semester. Made more ... colourful with the drama presentation and the MMH video presentation. But it brought a lot of us closer together. It was a good semester. Despite the crappy moments. But then everything's got crappy moments.
So, goodbye semester 2.
Hello, holidays. Ready to show me a good time? ;) I'm channeling pick up lines. Bah. Doesn't matter. I want to have FUN this next two weeks.
