Exploding Braincells

Final post! Hence I had decided to make a tribute to my days, my memories, my joys and the people in CIMP who had made a whole lot of difference in my life.

I grew up so much.

I learned how to be so much more confident in myself, that I am capable of earning the rights to be in certain places, that it's okay to fall as long as I know how to pick myself up.

In TGJ4M I picked up skills I never ever imagined possible because I really am such a tech and software noob. The experience have been exhilarating as I feel so much smarter and better prepared for the future now. Its hard to say impossible now, because in CIMP I had conquered many 'impossibles'

So to everyone, all the people friends and lecturers that made up CIMP and that had touched my life, I'd like to express my heartiest gratitude and many thanks for walking down the path of life with me even though it was for the briefest fleeting moment. I will miss you all~



Waaaaahhh didn't realize the converted video version was in such a bad quality =.=

Its just one of those random days when people randomly send Youtube links to me out of boredom and in need of conversation starters. I felt that I just had to share this one here in this blog, even though the video itself is rather old.

Its totally perfect as it conveys how I feel about my laptop right now. It's like someone's trashing my laptop about when I'm not watching or something, as dear laptop has been giving bad attitude of late. =____=;;

Very worth the watch though cause it's so highly entertaining. I wonder how they did it though?

Currently listening To: Broken and Beautiful - Mark Schultz

Life has not been very pretty lately.

I think I just wasted my Monday break. Sigh. How to make it up for it now?

The CCP is driving me insane. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate website development. I think it's also because I hate it so that it seems so much harder to do. I'm already done with the essay and tv commercial and still tweaking the marketing booklet (yes! even though I had vowed it would be the first to be completed it didn't happen...) but the website is...

ugh.

I don't wanna do it really. Cause I just. Suck.

But I know I can't give up either because my marks depends on it and I can never forgive myself if I did. These are the mind breaking moments when I ask myself yet again: Why oh~ why did I take ComTech?

Sometimes I wonder if all the mental trauma is worth the knowledge and experience gained in this class @_@;;; On a good day I would say yes but my braincells are yelling in defiance while suiciding.

Oh mai gawds I hope I get an "A" for ComTech even though I know now that the chances are awesomely slim. Ever since the 2nd half of the semester I felt like I could no longer catch up to produce lovely things, well not like I have ever been able to but its just gotten worst. So that would mean that the chances of my grades falling back ever since is also very high. Arghhhhhhhhh~~~ Yes, good bye self confidence. It was nice hanging it out with you while it lasted.

T__________T

I am not going to give up. I will still try my best in tackling this CCP, finishing up my required blogposts, take the two exam papers next week and also remembering to breathe. I need to BREATHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Why does productivity not come to me nowz? =<

Also, why is podbean.com being such a retard to me right now? It just won't upload my podcasts! Argh. Will upload both podcast 2 and 5 tonight no matter what it takes. I don't care. I am on the verge of wanting to sue something.

Meet Joe Black

Current Mood : Weary
Currently listening To: To You - Darlene Zschech

Now isn't this just absolutely annoying. Its been so many times since I tried to upload my 2nd podcast but podbean.com is just such a vein popper. I have even re-saved it and re-converted it but that didn't do the trick either. Let this be the last time I try uploading it, for if all else fail I shall attempt to re-record it.

I watched a rather old show on HBO yesterday night - Meet Joe Black. Yes I know very well that time is of the essence right now and that I should be focusing on finishing my CCP, but surely one deserved a break once in a while. Well anyway it was a good long show, one which spanned 3 hoursand in it's defense I would say very thought provoking as well.



The 1998 movie was about a media tycoon Bill Parrish (played by Anthony Hopkins) who was visited by the Inevitable, telling him of his time coming to an end. He then meets Death soon after who strikes him a deal, that his time on earth would be prolonged for a little while longer should Bill take him on a tour of life. Death is like a child to the world as he has never been part of it before, and things turns complicated when he finds himself falling hard for Bill's daughter, Susan.

There was a line in the movie that I loved so much. Said by Joe Black, in a very Jamaican accent too, when he went to visit a dying old Jamaican woman in the hospital. Joe was reluctant to take her to the other world as he was 'on vacation' while she was insistent on passing on to ease her sufferings.

Joe Black: I can't believe you people. I come for you, and you want to stay, I let you stay and you want to go

I broke into such laughter that I almost needed stitches afterward. How absolutely adorable.

A bonus to the movie is that Death, or known as Joe Black was played by a very boyish looking Brad Pitt. But as much as I would love it to be, he's not the reason for this particular post. Haha.

It was after the movie that made me go thinking, something I do best as I always have the tendency to let my thoughts wonder. The movie was one that was emotionally heartwarming, inspiring and thought provoking, not to mention tear jerking in certain scenes. Then I thought, you know, wow. Just wow. How it takes a movie, a fictional movie on HBO to remind us about the remarkable little things in life.

To remind us life is a celebration, that love is what matters most, that we are alive and living. How ironic it is, that we have to sit indoors facing an idiot box to be told these kind of things through a creation of fiction.

See where this is getting at?
