Jam Packed

Yesterday was a really busy day for me. In one whole day i had to go for blood donation, then try finish my overdue assignment(T.T), finish buying stuff for a surprise party for someone, go for the party, then go for night class. Phew! But i managed to go thru it all...thanks to cooperation from my frens!

Started out the day with blood donation. I had never donated blood before, so this is a whole new experience for me. I was kinda excited for the donation, but i was hoping i will go thru the day without fainting cos i worry i not enuff sleep. Went with roomie(it was her

first time too). I was very excited to know my blood type (finally! xD). After eating and drinking a lil bit what they provided, we went to get our blood sucked out.

After getting 'punctured' on my middle finger for blood type test and drinking the milo they gave, i got seated and the woman started to 'work' on me. I am vey nervous abt the way she did stuff because she is *NOT* giving me an impression that she knows what she is doing =S She also can't feel my pulse, had to spend nearly five minutes hitting my arm to feel my pulse =.="""

But alas she decided to continue to anasthesise me anyway(i had a feeling she is still unsure where to put the needle in my arm LMAO) so she injected anasthesia..and HELL THAT HURTS!!! So sharp and tiny ahahah. But i didnt scream out or anything. LOL. Like i would do that. Then after 5 mins she came back with the blood bags and a 'huge' needle. My eyes went O.O at the sight of the big needle and i immediately remarked about it, which caused me and roomie to laugh out loud LOL...and almost everyone was looking at us. Ahem.

But when she put the huge needle into my arm i felt nothing....its due to the anasthetic...thank goodness...if not...i will really afraid cos its so big =.="" this needle will take my blood out and into the blood bag directly...

See that two stains of blood there? I had NO idea how that came out...actually the needle spot there is covered by a cloth, and when they take off the cloth the stains are there O.O

Alas..after nearly 15mins..i was done...and we were to rest and take a bit of the food and drink there...after that we went and got out certificates and a goodie bag as well. Yay! The whole thing took me nearly an hour....

Dun tell me anyone of u fainted or got shocked at these pics..come on...its not THAT bloody....so easy scared of blood meh...its just a tiny wound nia...LOL...

Anyway after that i rushed to do my assignment, met Jacky on the way(we had decided to meet up together buy party food) and bless him he helped me abit, and was there to calm me down when i so obviously is going haywire due to overworrying abt my assignment and whether we have time to go out and buy food before class...LOL...thanks Jacky for ur help~~

In the end i still couldnt finish and time is ticking so we went out to buy around 12.30pm =.="" We went and got sushi...and in between we met up with sharon, printed stuff, withdrew money and basically sitting there waiting for the damn sushi to be finished. HAHA. In the end we were late for our class...but thankfully lecturer accepted our reason(with the help of one nifty piece of paper)...by this time i was very 'high', partly because of what we've done(we had been rushing here and there), partly due to me feeling really dizzy(haha...thanks again Jacky for the concern...i guess i looked really pale LMAO) cos of the blood donation, and also partly because some people in class kacau me...sweat la u all...but u all made me laugh...in the end i felt better.

4.30pm. Our mission is to go to our party destination and along the way avoid our 'VIP', as she is going to the same building as us as well. My heart nearly dropped out when i saw her already outside the class with the guys...so i quickly rushed everyone to run to G building! LOL!!! Feels like in a mission...lol...we quickly went to the pantry and got all the food out and put it in the party room..arranged everything, took pics and waited while everyone is coming and ready. When we saw her and our lecturer 'Xtine' coming we were like all rushing to hide ourselves...AHHAHA FUNN!!

What happens in the party? I'll blog abt it soon..after i got the pics...HAHA!!

All in all, 27th Aug was really fun. I will try my best not to forget that day. Absolutely loved it. I'll try to forget the bad things tho. Lost 2 water bottles in one day, nearly fainted and my assignment still NOT YET done. Grr. I feel really sorry for Xtine tho. I promised her, and i broke it. Sorry!

Confession.

"These are my confessions...just when i said all i can say my chick on the side, said i got one on the way..." Confessions Pt. II, Usher


Lol. I'm gonna make a confession. Haha. Sweat! I dont go to church okay. And i need to say this out. If not, i feel like a horrible person. LOL!!


Before i go on, NO. I dont have a chick =.="""


Sigh. These days...my heart had been touched. By the burning flames of temptation. I know i shouldnt feel it. But! I am still a human after all. Omg so cliched. =.="" *GAG*


Ok its a well known fact that i'm into photography. And recently i got chance to play with my friend's megastar toy in its own line. And i took great shots with it. I mean it in the sense i captured what i wanted to capture. With my current camera(no offense little Olymp...u are still great..) i cant get those shots that i wanted. I always get blurr shots, or the customisations not right. The lens oso...cant change too much. Or that i'm really lousy in photography. =S


Anyway here comes the sinful part: I almost wanted to take every single shot with her camera. Cos i know there's a higher chance to capture great shots. But! Obviously the thing is not mine. And i cannot use it always!! COs it's other ppl stuff. I have this principle...dun use other ppl stuff too much all that. Yeah i'm stubborn. Cant help it >.<


Pls make this temptation go away!!! It's unhealthy!!


Sigh. And because i experienced playing with it, now i 心痒痒 oso want a DSLR. I mean, i wanted one since ages ago, but because of recent stuff, i find myself getting really impatient for it. But no money no talk la. So i should shut it and wait for the day...


To the camera owner, I am sorry. On my part. And thanks for letting me play with it.


Ahh. Now i feel better liao. And after i say it...feel less stress liao..give me some more time...all these feeling will go away....hehe...lol...my DSLR will come. One day. Just you wait.

Happy.

The weekend feels good. Remember in my previous post i was harping about how my week started SO BAD. Now as i'm going into the end of this week, lucky i hadnt had any bad days whatsoever...mostly good stuff happened.


I *FINALLY* created a DeviantArt account. Pls have a look here: http://chainliteproductions.deviantart.com Uploaded a few stuff, not much, but hopefully i could post more new stuff soon...in the meanwhile...browse through my gallery k...thanks!



The second happy thing is..another fellow Deviant, who i know takes GREAT shots from what i see frm her work, was featured in DeviantArt News!! Feel so happy for her...keep it up yea!! Waiting to see more good work from you! =D



Third is...i FINALLY had a taste of drumming! I survived 'Billie Jean'. LOL. But i did it the wrong way tho with the second step. Haiz. Left hand right hand and foot coordination. I need to work on that. But it was a reeaallly cool experience to be in that studio. I dont even mind the loud music!! LOL! Saw a really amazing kid on drums. So cute oso =)



Next....is Kuching Food Fest!!! I've long heard about how it is an event not to be missed...the fest is around one month long...but i only went there in its last week. During this time there werent much crowd...from what i heard they say when its in its peak, there wont be enough space for seats, and ppl will be queing and stuff.....nice! I didnt take any pics of the food i ate tho...but i was well-fed that night ;) I had a taste of the 'legendary' Taiwanese sausage (it's EXCELLENT!!), multi-flavoured mochi, fried oyster(pls correct me if i'm wrong!!), '冰糖葫芦', which is grapes wrapped with sugar syrup, and shiew mai or siobhee....ohh...and i tasted for the first time in my life those chocolate dips...like u dip strawberries or doughnuts(which i chose) into a mini chocolate fountain...nice....ahh...full~

Hung out at the fest with Sharon, Edwin, Sam and Jacky, who unfortunately couldnt find empty courts that night to play badminton...in the end ended up coming to food fest...haha...but it was cool...i like hanging out together like that...hehe...here's a pic of us in front of the garden in the food fest....it was a pretty garden!! I feel like walking alone at night in this garden and just...enjoy the night. LOL. A good place for couples also la i think...ehhehe...






Ahh...the trailer for 'Avatar' is out oredi. I'm excited to watch this. I think it made my day too. Read the article and watch the trailer here : http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/buzz-log-avatar-trailer.html



I think i'm gonna watch this movie alone. Together with 'District 9'. There are some movies i want to watch alone. So i can fully absorb and study it. Like how i did with 'Dark Knight'. Have u read my movie post yet? http://worldofducca.blogspot.com/2009/08/movie-is-picture-of-thousand-words-that.html



Hmm...i guess that's it. All that's left is assignment stress.....zzzz.....week 3 nia!!! Lol. Oh. And i am going back to sports again after a near 2 week stop because of my injury. Ppl...if u guys wanna play...i'm here~~ xDD


Take care people. Enjoy~

Sunday Tamu

Ok so i promised i would post something about at least SOMETHING when i went back to my hometown for my semester holidays last month...and well. Here's one of them. Hehe....

The first week i was back i went to the local tamu in Kuala Belait (KB), Brunei. We usually go to the tamu on sundays. And we ONLY will go there when we ain't gonna be in Miri on Sunday. And going to the KB tamu on Sundays are really rare. Sensing i'm not gonna have this chance again, i brought my sleepy self and camera along...and took some shots....

Tudung Saji..or we all call it 'tamu'...LOL

Inside the tamu...

Some of the stuff sold there. I was being very shy and in the end didnt get many shots at all. Sigh. Anyway...enjoy.....

At the end of the trip we bought some kuih, as usual, and nasi lemak as our brunch. Nasi lemak is those sweet type. I miss it. I miss the kuih. Dad will always get 'you char kueh'. Yummy.








Oh, did u guys notice something in the pictures?? xDDD

Pathetic emo shit.

"I'm not ok....u wear me out!!" I'm Not Okay, My Chemical Romance


This is such a weird week. And i'm not even halfway thru it yet. Wtf its just WEDNESDAY man!!!! Sunday was fine. Monday is the crappiest day EVER. Tuesday also crappy like shit, but better compared to Monday. And today for no reason i feel kinda down.






*EMO ALERT*






Laptop got wet on Monday. Luckily it dried out. And to that lady (we all know who u are), do u have an idea how many ppl *hate* u? Sweat!! Made me climb up 7 floors with my injured effing back!! Tiao. Heal liao also will injure agen la. There are other stuff that made Monday worst day ever as well, but i dont wanna think abt it again. Makes me mre depressed only.



Tuesday. Mad like hell for covering up sum ppl. Wiping their wet ass. I hate it when ppl are still so immature and wont do his bit in being responsible for his own stuff. Made me feel so anxious the whole time between my morning and afternoon class, i was storming mad when i went to my afternoon class. So mad, my own hands cant STOP SHAKING. Literally. And sorry for troubling Bunny abit there. I think i scared her when i was busy trying to make some ppl WAKE UP!!!!

Today. Dunno why. Feel so emo. Feel down. See me laugh laugh there. But u never know what i was thinking and feeling inside. Need to look at me closely to see how i am feeling deep inside. Found out we were heading into the wrong direction for our assignment all these while. Worst, i cant think of a friggin' idea myself. Wth was i thinking!!! Feel so useless. The good thing is luckily we went to this extra class and got ourselves pointed in the right direction. Sigh.

And now my media player so CLEVER. Play all those emo songs. As if i not emo enuff. Want to create more emo atmosphere issit. Its on random play la...there's no specific emo playlists. LOL. Its like it can sense how i was feeling and decided to play those typical songs. Sweat. =.=""






OMG Wth is wrong with me today!! I'm out of sorts. I guess...its stress from all that mistakes in assignment. I dunno. But..i cant seem to keep still. The tension within me...so huge.





OH WELLS. I guess my old dance partner is back. Have to waltz together now. I mean, he'd been beckoning me since last week, but since i did him wrong, i'm gonna go back to him now. If not...i really really 对不起他.





Wtf. Another emo song. "I walk alone, i walk alone." o.O




I'm gonna sing "Why Does It Always Rain On Me" now. Yes it is a real song with that name. I *love* this song. I sang this when my laptop got wet cos of the rain. =.="" Hard to find someone who still sings when their laptop is wet right. I know i'm that WEIRD.




Sigh. I just feel like letting out. The angst. Dunno. No offense to emo songs tho. This is not an emo-bashing post!! I love *some* emo songs. Especially ones that managed to stay permanent in my library. HAHA. Oh wells. Hmm. I'm analysing myself again!! Scroll down for the analysis. =.="



















I am too harsh and critical on myself. SO WHAT? All virgoes do that. Or maybe i just need lotsa beer. Lots and lots. =/





Gosh. I *shudder* to think what will happen tomorrow. I've had three bad days in a row already. And tomorrow gonna see another sian person. Haiz.

Curses. Damn.

"I should have put more ppl off with my bad persona." Ducca, '09


Today i cursed out loud in front of my friend. Ok so in front of her i did say stuff like 'Shit' before. But today i blurted out a more 'serious' curse. I think it's the first time she heard me say it out loud. Cos she knows i did 'type' those curses out in our internet conversation. She just never hear me say it before. I asked her what she thought when i cursed. She wonders why i curse for such a mundane thing(believe me it's really something normal..but oh wells. i overreacted maybe?). Haha. She is so cute. xDD



So yeah. Now it's out: I curse alot. No big deal. It'll only damage my karma and possibly send me to Hell. >=)



Ppl are surprised tho, when i said it out. I blurt those out mostly when i'm by myself; whenever i did something stupid, or when someone annoyed me to bits, or when sumting unbelievable happens. I do say stuff. But its mostly to myself, since i'm alone most of the time.



My god. Now everyone knows i talk to myself.



Haha. Did i scare u already?? U should be. I'm a bad, bad person. I'm not what i seem to be. Its still a wonder to me why anyone would like me. As friends and stuff. Not necessary love =.="" But to those that likes me for who i am....and knows how i am deep inside....thanks. U are hard to come by. I appreciate u. =)


There's a quote i read from somewhere that i really like, it goes like this.

朋友就是把你看透了，还喜欢你的人。

It's up already.

So many things happening at once. But i feel great seeing everyone again. Ppl from last sem...hostel ppl, classmates, staffs, acquaintances...i think '7-7-8-8' saw everyone of them already...

Anyway just wanna say my movie post is uploaded already. It comes before the badminton/back injury blog, on 12th August. Wanna know what u guys think of the upcoming films. Comment on the post over there ya....thanks... ^^


Jacky...i post liao. LOL.


I shud go sleep. I have tons of stuff to do tmr.



September is coming. I need to go to sleep so you can wake me up when september ends. =.="""



This just shows how lame i get when i am deprived of sleep. August isnt even halfway yet!!! Wait...almost liao. LOL. SLEEP!!!!! X.x


Good thing the pain is easing up. Can't wait to get back into action.

10-9 is when i'm still leading.

"Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart." Ralph Waldo Emerson


I achieved a rare feat on Tuesday. I managed to lead Andy in a set until i got to 10 points! LOL. Ok so Andy is this guy which i play badminton with, and he's a GREAT player. Very scary. He smashes u like crazy. He tricks u to run here and there. And he has incredible stamina. "Another game?" "One more?" "Again?" he always asks that...lol...knowing well his opponent are out of breath already. LOL.


Most of the ppl doesnt want to play with him. He's mostly alone. Cos...he too geng liao...ppl dun like losing...so they dun play with him loh...i HATE sore losers....if u lose u lose la!! Learn sumting from it. I know one guy who's really a bad loser...when i see him...terus mood turn bad. And i want to kick his ass(not literally la...but..i just might LOL) if i see him come play again...


So yea...when i play Andy, i lose ALL the time. But at the same time my game got better. I move faster, i paid more attention to tactics, and my stamina shot up. The important thing is i learn from mistakes and improve. I'm not self-glorifying here(if u want to think that suit urself), i just wanna tell u not to give up....learn from mistakes...persevere...thru my own experience. Friends around me taught me that. I hope this helps other ppl too. Maybe u dun like sports but i'm sure u can apply these onto other areas of your life as well...



I secretly thought of him as my 'coach'. But dun tell him i think like this ahh. Ssshhh....xDD



So i was leading most of the time on the score, until he got to 10-10, then 11-10....sigh...and i lost again...ahhaha...but it gave me motivation. Perhaps, i will beat him one day. Heheheh.


One bad thing is...i pulled my lower back...as a result i cant move well..its really annoying me to bits. Had to retire early that night. How can i play with an injured back!! Even when i walk have to be more careful...sigh. Its my posture i think. I have really bad posture and it affected my back. ARGHHHHHHH!!!!! Siannn ahh!!! T.T And it got worse today....ffff$%^&@$!#@($@!!!!


I wanna return to the courts soon. I must. In the meanwhile...my other post on movies gonna be up soon, but will be positioned before this badminton post...cos i wrote that first. Sigh. Will post that up when i get the errors dealt with.

Coming soon to a theater near you...

"A movie is a picture of a thousand words that moves." Ducca, 2009



I'm a huge movie fan. I love films. ANd i'm excited about some upcoming films, so i'm posting this. Now some of it u might never heard about(i'm surprised some ppl still dunno the movie '2012' yet) so i'm kinda promoting it here. I'm so excited for everyone. I want everyone to know these films. SIGH.


Note: These movies are 'upcoming'. So i wont list 'G.I. Joe' or 'Harry Potter 6'.





DISTRICT 9




This movie caught my attention when i was walking in Star Cineplex Miri sometime ago. The poster really attracted me, and so does the name Peter Jackson. Now i'm not a fan of LOTR but i'm kinda curious wat he was doing post-King Kong.

This is a movie where aliens landed on earth, and our resources are wasted 'protecting' and looking after the welfare of these aliens. So ppl are quite against them aliens, and they were shunted to place called 'District 9'. And of course, in the middle of it all, will be the leading man who is caught between the aliens and the humans. Awww.



9


Ok i'm not quite sure yet what this movie is about. All i know is there's this bunch of dolls each numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on, saving the world. Their world. Hmm. 9 will be ur leading character here...It reminds me alot of the game LittleBigPlanet cos of its dolls...lol...but hey, this is sumthing Tim Burton has a part. I like Tim Burton. This flick kinda reminded me a teeny bit abt The Nightmare Before Christmas, another Burton classic....and...i like it that they played with the date as well. 9-9-9. I'm such a sucka for number-related coincidence stuff bla bla...




WHITEOUT



One name. KATE BECKINSALE. Lol. I heard about Whiteout i think 2 years back...when i read in a mag about upcoming films made based on comics/graphic novels. So i was like...ok....Kate in the Poles...what could happen. But i saw the trailer the ohter day and it rekindled my interest in this flick. I chose this pic(instead of the other one) cos HELLO!! LOOK AT THAT GLASSES!! Lol..She looks so good in the film......




2012


Ok so me and my friend had been discussing abt this since...long time ago. First saw the trailer in Spring Boulevard IT =.="" after i heard about it on the net abt the buzz surrounding this movie. Its a movie about the end of the world, based on the Mayan calendar, which stops on Dec 2012. Since Mayan predictions had came true(hmm...need more research) in the past, ppl had been nervous abt the end of the calendar, since the Mayans are highly regarded for their wisdom in astrology and stuff...lols. So what will happen during the apocalypse? How will it end? Will it end AT ALL? Lucky no need wait till 2012 to find out. This year Nov out ppl.





A CHRISTMAS CAROL



Ok the poster is abit too bright and Christmasy for my liking but oh wells. The story's set in Christmas so yeah. I liked this book alot when i first read it, i was struck by the storyline and the 'lessons' it taught me. Plus the name Ebenezer Scrooge is so weird, i still remember it till this day. Based on Charles Dickens(dun u just luv his books)'s book of the same name, it follows Scrooge as he was visited by ghosts of the past, present and future one Christmas day. Hardly a tale to jingle about ehh?





WOLFMAN



This one is a remake on the classic 1941 'Wolfman' film, this time starring Benicio Del Toro as the lead. I like the poster, but not really how the werewolfs looked. LOL. But the makeups all that is done by Rick Baker, the same guy who applied the zombie makeups in 'Thiller', so it should be quite interesting how it turns out. A horror film i think....lol. Oh and the release date had been pushed to 2010...sigh.





AVATAR





Ignore the May '09. Until now havent come out yet. The tension!! Lol. Luckily its gonna come out end of this year. Details of the story is still sketchy...tho i knew it was released as a test screening sometime back. Directed by James Cameron, the man who gave u Terminator and Titanic, this is the 'most expensive J.Cameron film yet'. Hmmm...i am very curious abt this movie.






SHERLOCK HOLMES



I think my fren Puds will go CRAZY when this film is released. She is such a BIG FAN of Sherlock Holmes. We used to talk about it ALL THE TIME. Robert Downey Jr. as Mr. Holmes, Jude Law as Dr. Watson(WTH!!!!!) and Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler...interesting. This is an edgy Holmes. Younger and edgier. Go see the trailer to know how it looks.





UP


Its by Pixar. 'nuff said.





ALICE IN WONDERLAND




Its by Tim Burton. Got Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. 'nuff said. But i dont like the Cheshire Cat. It is SCARY!!!! OMG!!!!!

I missed Charlie & Choc Factory. I missed Sweeney Todd. I dont wanna miss this.
