Euphoric at Euphoria

Rocking!

Awesome!

Superb!

The list of words describing my experience at Euphoria yesterday night can go on and on. Yesterday was my first time going to a club and apparently the best club in KL according to a friend of mine. I have to agree that the place was awesome. The environment was just the way I hoped it to be: cosy, smoke free and a little gloomy.

The best part of it was that the entrance was free.

The group of us went to the dance-floor around 10.30 and waited for the music to start. And when it started, all of us began moving our bodies. I was a little hesitant initially. But after having an alcoholic beverage (Long Island Tea), that's when the party kicked off for me! I danced and danced.

Too bad I didn't manage to get myself acquainted with any hot chics. But anyway, yesterday was too familiarise myself with the clubbing groove and just dance to de-stress myself. But the next time I'm going, I will be looking out for the babes. Look out ladies!

Second-Hand Smoking Relived

Statistics shows that for every four cigarettes a smoker smokes, a non-smoker has smoked one.

But what I went through the other day, I felt like I was smoking four cigarettes when the guy was smoking only one!

I arrived early in college the other day. So the Media Hub (a computer lab sort of place) was not open yet. I decided to sit on the staircase and wait until they open the Hub. This was where the ordeal began. Well, the man was already smoking when I sat on the steps but he should have at least had the courtesy to leave the place once I was there.
As I was reading The Sun newspaper, he took puff after puff that I felt like I was in one of those smokers' room at airports. For nearly ten minutes or so he smoked. And when he was done, I ended up having a headache.


Smokers out there. You should be more attentive to the people around you. If you want to kill yourselves, you have all the right. But don't take our lives as well.

Yasmin Ahmad - The Let Down

Today was supposed to be a great and wonderful day. It was supposed to be a historical day for me. It was the day I was supposed to meet the much acclaimed Malaysia director and dubbed to be a woman of the new wave, Yasmin Ahmad.

To give you all a little background. Today was the Taylor's School of Communication Media Carnival 2008, the first of its kind in Taylor's College Petaling Jaya. The theme chosen for this auspicious event was Media Freedom. So, during the first session, there was supposed to be a dialogue session between the four of us (Michelle T, Michelle C, Tash and me) and Yasmin on this particular topic and the second session was supposed to be another dialogue session between four other students and three people from the industry (Christine Ooi, DJ Hisham and Andrew Nato).

Unfortunately, Miss Yasmin couldn't make it on time so we had to kick-start the dialogue session with the second slot. It went terrifically well. The reason for her delay was that she was bringing a group of actors with her. Then came the second reason. Her car broke down in Sungai Buloh and now she was apparently waiting for her husband to pick her up. Lunch time came and went. The events of the day unfolded (awesome band performances) and still there was no sign of her. That was the final straw. When it was 4.40 p.m. I just left my college.

I am very disappointed with Yasmin because all four of us had put much energy, soul and time in preparing our questions and stuff. We were all eagerly awaiting to see this director who had made fantastic films. But we didn't expect this to happen. I really don't know what to say. A lot of people turned up to actually see her but they were disappointed too.

I really feel sorry for the team that organised this event and my lecturers.

Yasmin Ahmad ... I am much disappointed with you.

Pick-Pocketed

Greetings to all the people of the Virtual Realm,

Yesterday was a wonderful day. For the first time, I took a bus to Central Market, boarded the LRT to KLCC, went to Kinokuniya and bought a good book, window-shopped, had lunch and went back to Central Market for a talk in conjunction with World Press Freedom Day. After the talk, I went for a book exhibition and got three books for free. Before boarding a bus back home, I window-shopped Central Market and took some interesting pictures of some grafitti on the wall of a building. When the bus reached my stop, I realised that my Nokia 7610 my missing. I checked the bus but it was not there. I returned home on the verge of a break-down. I have been pick-pocketed. At the Central Market bus station!

God Bless!
