Intoxi'Kath'ing Whispers

Do you know how it feels when everytime exams come, eveything is off limits to you? I mean, like during my study week, I was not supposed to touch the computer, not to play games or go online. (My own doing). Everytime I sit down to study at the table (computer in front of me), my hands itch to touch the mouse or even the keyboard. Urgh! Computer games during this 'perfect time' (duration before exams) are especially 'enticing' (Forgive me if it's the wrong adjective). My heart longs to be with this LCD screen and its coulourful 'nature'. My eyes ache to be glued to its bright and sparkly 'eyes'. Aahhh! And then, here you go telling yourself, "Study girl, study. It's only for three weeks.The computer will still be there, but your exams are only once!!" Then I drag myself, still unwillingly to go and study. But it always does not last long, no matter where I go, I can hear the oh so sweet melody of the computer games being played by my s...

I just came back from the Actors' Studio in Bangsar. I didn't expect the studio to be that small but it was real cosy to me. Kind of like a small lecture hall but with cushioned chairs.

During his presentation, he will be kneeling, running, shouting, crouching, doing all sorts of things to represent the different groups of people who were involed in the events. He even had a podium thing which he would knock on...

Malaysians are courteous. This is a community message from one of our local radio stations. In this message, they ask us to memorise these four words: Excuse me, Thank you. In my opinion, they left out one other important word: PLEASE. And, you shouldn't just memorise them... Use them! If you remember but don't use it, what's the point? No one will know you are polite except your brain. Why do I say that the word 'please' is important? Imagine someone gritting their teeth, tryng to elbow their way out of a packed train. "Excuse me excuse me." They go, faces scrunched up in frustration. That doesn't seem very nice or polite don't you think. (Not that I don't understand what they're going through. Been there done that, packed trains, you can hardly breathe, human sardines.)
