What is going on???

Have been really pissed off with the newspaper as of late. I mean, look at the headlines of The Star 2 days ago. Instead of highlighting other more important such as the tsunami in Indonesia which killed hundreds of people or the war in the Middle East, they chose to talk about Siti Nurhaliza getting married! I mean, come on!! 3 full pages about them!!

Ok, well maybe it is actually important or news-worthy but it is definitely not worthy of front-page news. And the way they’ve been talking about her and Datuk K for months now is seriously degrading to the image of the newspaper. I feel like it’s becoming more like a tabloid now instead of a respected newspaper. If we actually wanted to know about Siti and the guy she’s marrying, we’d buy one of those glossy magazines which feature these kind of things to its finest detail. PLEASE, we want the old Star back. We want to read NEWS not gossips and celebrity marriages. Thanks.

Here I am back again after 5 days in UUM. Moved into a new room, am roommate-less & loving it!!

These few days have been hectic for me as I've got to add/drop subjects and believe me, this is no easy task...sigh...my brains felt like they were gonna explode yesterday when Aruna & I went all over the Communications & Modern Languages Faculty trying to add a couple of subjects which were already fully taken. Don't know why this always happens to me..I always register my subjects early yet it is all in vain. So come every semester I have to run around begging lecturers to let me in their already full class. And as always Aruna & I end up taking a paper which we're actually supposed to take in our 5th sem..sigh (again).

Well all that's over now. Finished adding my subjects and may I say that I have a horrible time-table. Have 4 classes consecutively for 1 1/2 hours each (which makes a total of 6 hours) every Mondays and Wednesdays (God help me!). On top of that, all these classes are at exactly the same lecture hall which can be compared to the Antartica, if you know what I mean. Dear Ee May has told me to wear the complete gear-sweater, mittens, scarf, socks, gloves and goodness knows what else.REALLY!!
