well, lets just get on with it.
hmmm, i have been an awful blogger. i admit that. i don't blame you guys for not reading my blog anymore. TCSH has not turned me into an anti-social freak of nature who does not update his friends on blogger about his life. that bit i can assure.

The PACT by Jodi Picoult
It was simple. I had two weeks holiday and nothing to do. Not entirely true actually, i had maths homework to do, chemistry to revise, physics to look into and thinking skills to worry about. I grabbed the book, and I stared at it. Started leafing through it. You see i got it as a present from my teacher in high school. I was very much into novels and still am. I looked at the book. The cover page had a male and a female sitting with their backs facing us. And the second page had the same scenery, the same male figure but the female one was missing. Intriguing.
I started the book, like any one would actually. Just reading 20 pages here 10 pages there. But that changed. I don’t remember when or even what triggered the change. Could it be the fact that the male character, Christopher Harte, was 17 years old and by that age he had found his true love? Or the heaps of trouble he goes through when the only wrong he did was love Emily, his childhood friend, confidante, and finally lover? I don’t know. I still don’t know. But I began connecting to the book. As in, my thoughts were merged with the book. I was thinking what it would be like to be in his place. To be in Chris’s shoes and to watch his whole world crumble down right in front of him when all he did was love the girl who was, or so he thought was, his soul mate.
For the very first time, a book grabbed at me so hard that it made me shiver. When you reach a point where you knew you had loads of stuff on your hand but ignored everything and immersed yourself completely in the world of the two characters that seemed very real, you know that the book is good. I did it. The only time, i cried for a book was when I was reading Marley and Me. The only time, I felt my heart being wrenched away was when I read The Pact. Imagine this, I was actually praying for a character. I am not denying it. I felt these characters. For three days, I believed that I was actually living in their world, where true love actually existed. It was like watching a movie and then getting up and walking right into the television.
The funny thing was that these characters never had a definite face. Usually the introduction of a character means the entrance of a faceless individual into the picture. Then slowly an image came clear; a guy or a girl that I had seen in some hallmark movie or even a guy from an advertisement on NTV7. I don’t know whether it was suppose to be that way or that’s just me but I liked it. I also got to rework these images when the author throws in a detail in the next line. And the image would stay that way till the end of the book. For the first time, I had not had one steady image for Chris. He was a different guy every time I closed the book and opened it again.
I wish I could say more but I have got to reread the book again!!!..so thats all yeah!!... the pact is an awesome read and if you don’t try it, its your loss!!..

lost?

Take a bow….
You showed up,
out of no where,
when i thought i could actually be happy,
genuinely fit in,
you proved me wrong,
every single step i took,
you wanted me to fall,
but you never said this,
for you wanted to be all-goody good,
standing right here,
i feel stupid,
for actually thinking about you,
for you are not worthy of my time,
or even my thoughts,
for i know one day,
your mask will fall,
your innocent facade will disappear,
and the people around you will walk away
when they know the true you,
but for now,
you can go ahead and take a bow,
but i want you to know that,
this bow will be your first step to fall.

home - hartamas?
away from the sweet scent of HOME. so isn't sri hartamas my home ? yeah, you guessed it right, not yet!! (for those of you who didn't get it right go smack your head because that was the easiest and most expected answer ever, man!!! it doesn't have my parents, my irritating but sweet and never-in a-million-years-replaceable-siblings and LUCKY...i know most of you guys know Lucky but some strangers would have been "smart enough" to mark the word as a typo..( for those people who did that, please kindly proceed browsing through other blogs because this one is for me and he people who know me......and yeah those who have been following since the beginning also.. good thing i posted some pictures of Lucky, in the previous posts!!)
anyways, hartamas isn't home yet, but still, its alright here....i have friends, fun housemates and yeah a cranky bed but i ain't complaining (.....yet) . heheheheh...
wait wait....something interesting just happened....my roommate just brought in an induction cooker!!1....talk to you guys later (hey, you , yeah, the one saying that i can't actually talk here....we have unfinished business for now okay?...)

the Insane is a year older!!
AND YES!!!.....I AM GETTING MORE AND MORE INSANE!!!"
well, i had a wonderful day with my group of favourite people with whom i had spent my entire secondary school life with, and honestly, these are the kind of people with whom you would want to be with for the rest of your life...Yes, they are simply awesome!!....went for the movie that was simply stunning in visuals and storyline...yup what else...INCEPTION....one word rating....AWESOME!!...and my too-good-to-be-true-friend (who is just so adamant in the nicest way possible) refused to take money from me...i felt slightly guilty though!!...
after the super duper cool movie, my friends and i headed to KFC for lunch!!...i tried persuading them to let me treat them for the meal but they gang-ed up against me....well, it was 8 -1...you can guess which team won!!...later, we decided to go watch some of my friends trying to play pool!!...yes, there was some pool-ball-flying action...hehe....
then it was time to head back!!...and i forgot to mention that one of my friends actually made me a jar of mulberry jam!!....and after tasting it, i would recommend her jam to every single soul on this planet that is still able to taste the wonderfully sweet jam!! no man should be deprived off the privilege to taste this jam ......loved it!!...
all in all, i loved "today"!!... i met a lot of my friends whom i hadn't met in awhile....and we talked and laughed.....just the way it was when we were all in the same class a year back!!.... the punches from a friend, the pokes from another, and the ever-lively personalities from all....
i love my friends....seriously, i do not know whether i would have survived secondary school without them....i just wish we were all in the same college but that would make things just perfect...and perfectness is not achievable in this world...at least not in this case...
the post will end now!!...and the Insane wants you guys to know that he is very hyper and happy!!....xoxo

life update!!!...
i'll start from where we left off....TNB interview!!
- didn't get the TNB scholarship.
- was called for JPA scholarship interview
- went there with the same out-fit which i wore for the TNB interview
- all in all, the interview was fine..and i was less nervous compared to the TNB one
- was called for TM scholarship camp (3 days 2 nights...can you believe it??..haiz)
- had a jolly good time at the camp which was held in NUBE, PD.
- met a lot of new friends and well, one old one (hua chiam)..hehe
- few days after, got an email from TM informing me that i was shortlisted for their interview
- jumped up and down screaming YAY (which would be exotically idiotic now, seeing the fact that almost 38 of us got shortlisted and there were only 11 scholarships)
- went for the TM interview in the big and expensive and scary looking Menara TM....
- arrived there and met with a few friends from the camp
- heard from one of them that out of the 11, 2 would be employee's children. (just great ain't it!!)
- went inside, and the interviewers were all fine and welcoming but with a tone that was sarcastic and making fun of.
- it was a group session, and well it was alright.
- after two weeks, i found out that i was not one of their recipients...haiz...
- then jpa results came out and guess what i didn't get the overseas programme, so much for dreaming for once in a lifetime experience, hahahah
- the next week, i found out that i was successful for appeal and got the local scholarship from jpa....but it was in UNITEN...haiz...another major problem!!
will continue in the next post!!..chiao people!!..

INTERVIEW part 2
first off..let me pick off where i left you guys... yup the entrance..
we (that is me and my fellow comrades who happened to be in the same group as i was) walked into the room with politeness seeping out of our sweat pores and smiles that actually hurt our lips (well...i don't really know about the others but i was doing that). there were three of them and 6 of us. even though we were larger in quantity they were like giants in our eyes. they looked at us, flashed a short smile and gestured us to take our respective seats.
then it was on. well...not really. they just asked us to talk about our self. then blar blar blar...done with myself..next talk about TNB whatever you know about TNB...the regurgitating process started here, every single detail from its operating revenue to its worth of assets....and i think i talked too much because one of THEM had to say " wow, that is sufficient aravin" to actually stop me....oops bummer...
next was the debate. THE MOTION WAS THAT THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT TECHNOLOGY MAKES MAN LAZY. the prime minister( the guy beside me) was called upon to present his case while sitting and looking like an idiot (cheh...we all do it...because in a debate we are not supposed to seat...haiz...i don't know man...how they run that huge a place when they don't even know the simple rules of debating...hahahahahaha....just kidding man...don't take it seriously). he was saying something about inventions making our life easier but making it lazier instead. some thing about elevators making our muscles in our legs in active and stuff (heheh...because i was too busy trying to oppose the motion, i wasn't really listening)
then, the 1st opposition came up ( not really, i was still sitting). i said that technology is not to be blamed for man's laziness and that it is man who should be blamed and stuff, i got carried away with saying that technology was merely making man's life easier and also helping man get healthy in a way for inventions like the thread mill give man the ability to workout in his home...and all the boring stuff (well, i really like my last line though, ITS HIGH TIME WE STOP BLAMING TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYTHING AND START REALISING THE TRUTH. WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND WE ARE OUR PROBLEM)...that took up the two minutes they gave to present....after that i completely switched off and was trying to justify (in my mind of course) whatever i said out aloud.
after that, they said the session was over and asked us whether we had any questions or not. of course all of us just smiled and said NO. then, we said our THANK YOU's and walked out.
that was all that happened , and nothing more. until next time xoxo.

INTERVIEW experience...(part 1)
well I'll just sum the process...
- arrive in the very BIG posh campus with amazing architecture
- look like an idiot wearing shirt and slacks
- go in the registration room to find a bunch of quiet people
- look around like a lost dog
- find the registration counter
- register and smile like a donkey while saying THANK YOU
- sit down and wait
- look left and right thinking of whether to speak first or to wait and be spoken to
- speak to a dude beside me without exposing too much of my craziness
- enter the small briefing room
- a guy talks on how hard it is to get a scholarship and that we are lucky to get this far
- first group of students (6 of them) enter the DOOMSDAY room
- talk like a mad maniac (nerves got to me, i just had to be myself) to the persons beside me (both sides)
- 1st group of students come out with faces of ten year olds who just got their POKEMON cards confiscated
then, it was my group's turn....
and this is the part where i say...I'll continue with part 2 later because it is hilarious and i need time to put it together..hehehehehe....so farewell for now

current status: unstable
PLKN is over and i totally loved my time there. i met a lot of cool people there ( and a lot of not-so-cool people too). it was one of the best experiences i have ever had. i got to kayak, and climb a huge wooden wall (felt like spiderman)...hehheheheh...my techniques were wrong though until the instructor kind a told me that "apa....nak jadi spiderman..ke ??" the instructors there at kem karisma were the best. they were young, strict but funny, helpful but humiliating, friendly but nasty...all at the same time. love the people there.
and now....i am just hoping to get a scholarship to A-levels....because i really do not want to do form 6. i am considering INTI , Taylor's, and sunway since they are giving scholarships in the form of tuition fee waiver....so currently my status is unstable.
that's all for now...catch ya later..
