revising for this saturday's Math A quiz is what i should be doing..
completing an IT assignment included...
starting an English assignment included also..

but.. nuo... i am Engrossed in a book.. a romance story..
evading duties for long hours.
and I'm kinda Hooked.. ==
and here i am, feeling all guilty and carrying out a *penance by posting in a blog for the first time in weeks.. how ironic..

I never thought the book will obsess me in any way...
reading the first few pages gave me an impression tat it's just any other book and the language wasn't as beautiful as my last book (Life with Marley)
then again, i was surprisingly relating really well with the story and my imagination ran wild~ *Ba *High-Wild*


yesh.. twilight by stephenie meyer..

Much of Twilight is devoted to Bella’s crush on Edward Cullen(a vampire), the handsome gorgeous biology partner. The story revolves around Bella, finding out more of Edward's life and family and Edward, somehow intrigued by her smell and life. Then the climax comes alive when some other vampire, a hunter who's hungry for Bella and wont stop until he got her. So, Edward and his family of good vampires works together to save Bella from a maniac hunter....

yea.. my poorly written brief review definitely wont give you any impression.
I haven't been reading vampirish stories for approximately half a decade until this one pops up. But i gotta say, the plot's good and was well written. It gave my imagination an incredible surge and makes me hungry for more until I've finished reading it. What attracts me more is the strong bond of family, good people, my own imagination of how they look, the care, the love, the humanity, the sarcasm..etc.. *Haven't had this feeling since the days of Harry Potter and Abhorsen.

now after reading it, My mind can go to rest and be filled with school-work-stuff... I probably should pick a better time to read the second book, New Moon. There's a 3rd also, Eclipse which i think is nicer than New Moon. There'll be more to come. It's a saga~

Twilight is also being made into a movie i found, which will only be out in..December osth lidat.

Here are the bloodsuckers from Twilight.. the "good bloodsuckers: The Cullen family
Fom left to right the actors are Kellan Lutz, Elizabeth Reaser(Grey's Anatomy), Nikki Reed(The O.C), Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathbone.

Pattinson will play Edward.. the dude who played Cedric from Harry Potter and d Goblet of Fire.
I'll accept it.. though the one in my mind is of couse, much better~ XP
Catherine Hardwicke(Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown) will direct it.

oh yeah.. back to the bookcover above.. After finishing the book, I still dont get something.. What's With the apple?! lol.. I only, did get it after returning to the page before Preface, of the book.
Anyway, i goggled it also and got the confirmation. Here it is if u're interested.

The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit." I used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because I loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with? A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Then you have Paris and the golden apple in Greek mythology—look how much trouble that started. Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, I love the beautiful simplicity of the picture. To me it says: choice. -Stephenie Meyer

in short, Edward n Bella's love is forbidden.


..i like to eat apples..

review of this week,
my timetable has changed..
getting used to new life's routine..
been sleeping alot..
morning blues each morning..
i think i've caught some1's disease..
homework n assignments mounting..
i'm slacking.
i noticed my english standard was dropped triple-fold`
i have a class on saturday!
haven't yet finish watching mobile suit gundam 00..
u know, the new one.. quite nice also, my opinion.

i watched nancy drew yesterday nite..
the whole movie is narrated! omg..
not much suspense and rather boring..
eg of narration, 'her phone rings, she picks it up'
'hello?' came the voice of nancy..
..'and nancy gave a radiant smile..'
they narrate it down to the movie credits.. clothes designer n everything.. @@
and i watched it to the end.. (wha...?)
i think the blind will appreciate narrated movies, a lot.. ..

one's writing style manifests one's mood... okay, this is soo very true~

*my company's teacher, Cikgu Diswa and I on the night of graduation, 10th March '08*

okay. here's an update for ns, my opinion. Sorry it took so dang long...
Just couldn't get my mind to come to terms of blogging.
Anyways, here it goes~

National Service (NS) for me was all right. It might not be as memorable or as 'fun' as i have hoped. Sure i did all those activities that were to give trills~ ie. Flying fox, high rope, obstacle course, kayaking, marching competition, netball competition, shooting M16... but i didn't had the fun i thought i would.
I've been to 2 camps, for those who knows not, Kem Bukit Saban, Betong and Kem Puncak Permai, Bau and have had the privilege of gaining experience from two obviously, very different camps.
Here, I've summed up the contrast.
and have loaded up some photos from both camps in my multiply acc.



KBB, Betong
Rural woody area.
KPP, Bau
Very close to town.
Looks plain and simple. Modern Looking.
Yellowish-brown water for use Non-opaque paip water
for use.
Only main rules are imposed. All rules are a must to
followed.
No trainees from Semenanjung. More than a hundred.
Friendlier trainees. Racial boundaries.
only Celcom line usable. No specifications.
Food was okay. Better food.
Evening exercise not a must. Evening exercise is
a Must.
Cemented dorm floor. Tiled dorm floor.
12 people ony in my dorm. 26 ppl in ths dorm.
Pakaian awam' allowed
outside dorm.
Only allowed in dorms.
Allowed to return to dorm by 10.30pm during free nights. Return to dorm around
11pm no matter what.
Somehow less tiring. More tiring.
Insufficient water
for shower all the time.
Rarely happens.
Bigger obstacle course
(in woods).
Smaller.
Small pond. Average sized pond.
Less trainers. More trainers, much
more friendly &
easy going.
Can sit with any group of
'wirawati', no matter which company at the hall.
Allowed to sit with
our own dorm mates
only *tho we do move to
other tables sometimes*.
Can enter other company's dormitories.
Use i-talk card.
Not encouraged to
enter other company's
dorms.
Use phone card.





Facts

2) Bau camp definitely have better facilities.
3) Commanders from both camps are friendly.
4) I moved to Bau camp on 24th January after my transfer was granted.
5) I did not get all teary on graduation day at Bau camp.
6) I had a better circle of friends at Betong camp.
7) Gone sick the most times in a light year. (while in Btg)
8) Ate the most medicine in such a short period of time as well. (while in Btg)
9) Overall an experience non the less.
10) My brain has gone rusty.
11) My bones are still lazy.
12) I got around 10 bruises on my left leg while at KPP, after the obstacle course's competition.
13) I think that I did more exercise that actually benefits while at home.
14) At the back of both my foots, below the ankle are dark patches of skin caused by the class' heels worn.
15)I think KPP's classes are held more interestingly than KBB's for module PK. or i could be wrong..
