I Will Not Give In

SPM means effort, not intelligence. If you tell that to Mrs Principle, she’s obviously going to give you a six-hour lecture about how the world will end for you if your certificate wasn’t writing straight A’s. You see, this woman is very special – she is the epitome of kiasu planet.
I’ve heard about educators who tries to give students the best they deserve by encouragement, but this one, I told you this one is special, she indirectly calls you a schmuck and make you feel as if you can be more uncivilised than her.
So she decided to whip out her utter kiasu powers and make each exam living hell for us, but I won’t give in to that fear. Trust me, she is only doing all these because it is her last year before living off her ridiculously highly paid pension and she doesn’t want the school to have curriculum of anything below A’s for others to remember her as the principle of the year.
If she was putting students at top priority, I am very sure she wouldn’t discourage us every morning at assembly line, telling us something that contradicts another she said, leaving confusions in our heads. Oh pity her for being so indecisively painful?
I will not give in to that fear.
Because SPM can’t buy me dinner.
Because SPM can’t pay my house loans.
Because SPM can’t find me happiness.
But most of all, because SPM is not the end of the world, it is only the beginning.
Meet Pee & Ang Ang

So I ditched school and met up with Hannah and Joel. Yays! That’s them in the photo with me. Beside the photo are my very tasty blueberry muffin breakfast and Hannah’s awesome aviators. I also made new friends; Jon and Abigail, so double the yays. Went over to Hannah’s after spending too much time in Starbucks.
How can your heart not melt seeing these kids? So adorable!
I have so many things to say at the moment, but time forbids. So, goodnight.
Dee Dee Died On Me
July 29, 2008
Had been busy all day. Photos ordered from Photocraft Imaging came today. Distribution was hectic and lots of running around. The blood-sucking priced photos are products of poor Photoshop job and bad taste in choice of background. And the school paid RM17K for the photographer fees alone.
WHAT THE HELL.
Anyhoo, my external hard disc died on me. Thus, the entire 68.3GB (yes, I remember it so well) worth of photos, audios, videos, documents and whatever else I stored in there is – GONE. Yes, permanently. I tried reviving it after running with a recovery system for a few days already but Mom decided that it is too time-consuming, so she made me unplug it, adding even more damages to the corrupted files. And they can’t be saved now. Just great, innit?
BUT THOSE GOOD-FUN-AWESOME TIME PHOTOS!!!
How the heck am I going to get those back?! Only choice is to recollect them back, bit by bit, from some friends. Still, for almost all of them, only I had the master copy. DAMN.
Malaysia will be head-to-head against Chelsea tonight. Uh huh.
The Dark Knight (2008)
July 27, 2008
First of all, I do not usually like superhero movies, but this one blew me away. Reason is that superhero movie plots are often exaggerated to the point that it becomes ridiculous and Spiderman (Tobey Maguire) is a cry baby. However, by the time credits were rolling this time, I was thinking of Transformers (2007) and 300 (2007) because these are the kind of movies I would want to re-watch any time.
So at the most ungodly hour, when everyone in the house was asleep two days back, I watched:
The Dark Knight (2008)
Claimed to be shadowed by most reviews, Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) did a good job anyway. Remembering him most from The Machinist (2004) when he lost SIXTY POUNDS for the role of Trevor Reznik. Commitment, dude.
So everyone walked out watching TDK praising The Joker (Heath Ledger). Is it because he deserved the Oscar nomination/award that highly? Or is it because it is the last movie he filmed before drugs took his life? So is he being overrated?
Nevertheless, in TDK, The Joker was more alive than any other character. Contrary with the same character Jack Nicholson played in Batman (1989), Ledger was unpredictable, authentic and was an expert at whatever he was doing. If you noticed while watching the blockbuster, Ledger’s eyes were pulling you into him. He believed that he was The Joker and that is why he was so convincing!
Despite being doubtful about the flooding praises worldwide, I am impressed that his acting as grew so tremendously. The late Heath Ledger whom I came to know watching 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), I remember his dreamy teenaged-boy face still. Along the years, I’ve watched numerous movies this actor starred in; Monster’s Ball (2001), A Knight’s Tale (2001), Casanova (2005) and the award-winning controversial film Brokeback Mountain (2005). The progress was obvious.
Besides the two main characters, the powerful cast consist of; Harvey Dent/Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart), Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) and Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine). Caine was, of course, astounding and very personal.
Not going to elaborate on the movie plot. It was good but incomparable to acting skills honed into the film. Definitely must watch this movie because you will remember it deeply unlike… those that I already forgotten.
1. Heath Ledger was a damn great actor.
2. Heath Ledger was the best damn actor.
Which statement is correct? Well, he didn’t live long enough to prove number two. So I’m going to go with:
Heath Ledger was a damn great actor.
