2007, The Year That Was

Woot! In less than 2 hours we'll be welcoming in 2008, and like last year, I've decided to just stay at home. I don't have any of my cats with me now, which is a shame really, but I've got a large Vegie pizza for company, double woot!

Oh and lucky me, Lemony Snickett and Pretty Woman's on TV.

Let's get started...

In 2007...
I survived Media Comm 1. The bane of my existance, and I've finally, finally, gotten through it alive and kicking.

In 2007...



At last, my very own Barca jersey thanks to Donkey, Marco and Baby Bunny. Sadly though, football matches have become distant memories as I hardly watch them anymore. 'Hardly' being understatement.
(Note to self: Get Sky?)

Best Movie(s)

Living in NZ meant my cinematic experiences had to be reduced, greatly. I managed to catch some really great movies during the International Film Festival, but that's about it. So in my opinion, based on what I've seen, the best movie of the year has got to be....

Dadadadadadadadada...The Simpsons Movie.



I mean c'mon, Maggie finally said something! How can anything else top that?

Right behind it is, Perfume the Story of a Murderer. The only reason it's in 2nd place is because, it was in English! If it was in French, it'd be more artsy, and therefore, in my world, perfect.

Best TV Shows

Brothers and Sisters. If you know me, then you'd also know that I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Ally McBeal. And so naturally, I adored Calista as well. How could I not watch the show then? Sally Field is cute as a button as well.



I'm glad I'm following Californication here in NZ. Had I been watching it back home, it'd be heavily censored, and thus lose much of its essence.

Seeing Ms Zima naked though, is something I'd rather forget.

Best Songs



Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love was an accidental find, and oh what a find it was!



Umbrella has GOT to be the song of the year. I don't know bout you guys, but everytime someone mentions the word, Umbrella, I'd go, ella-ella-eh....

Most amusing person on earth



BRITNEY SPEARS. How she entertained us the whole year through. I can't imagine what 2007 would look like without Brit and her countless wigs.

And next year, looks like lil' sis Jamie Lynn is set to take her place. Weheeeee!!!

Here's to the Spears!

Breakup of the Year

Will and Kate. Yeah so they've since rekindled their romance, but when I first read about it online, I, like many others, went apeshizz bout the whole thing. Now I couldn't really care less about these two muppets. I am however interested in the going ons of Harry.

Kat Malaysia plak, I'd have to say Nash and his soon to be ex-wife, Ms. Whatever-her-name-is.

Shocker of the Year



Death of Jane magazine. I still can't find a mag as funny and as intelligent as Jane. Oh please someone...help....

Shocker of the Year 2

Well, maybe some people could already see it coming, but not me. Bhutto survived the attack in October and I thought, surely she'd live to see the election. Guess not, huh?

Hopes for 2008? I hope I'll survive MC2 and MC3 as well. And of course, finally get my much deserved degree.

I hope life will be kinder to me, though if there's one thing I've learnt from this thing called life, is that it's unpredictable, and so, I'm wayyyy ready for it to throw me a challenge or two.

Hear that 'life'? A challenge or two. Not three, and not four.

And so, 2007 closed with a bang (maybe literally somewhere in the Middle East) and till next year, toodles!

Pescatarians

Word of the day.

Pescatarians.

Find out why you can't say I'm a vegetarian, a semi-semi even.

We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!

On the move...again!

I am yet again, as the title suggests, moving on to another apartment. Will be living with Kak Zaidah this time around. Woot! I'm sure we'll get on swell as housemates, and if we don't there's always a place where we could vent out our frustations...le blog!.

Then we can leave nasty comments on each other's blog yah?

I can't remember what's it like to actually have a housemate...it's been 2 years since I've lived with someone. Whatev! I hope we get the apartment on Liverpool Street, kalau tak kena corner balik to Alpha ASAP!

Last nite we had Xmas dinner over at Dunkin', where there were plenty of food, and no, no donuts. Not at the back anyways.

Ginny, ever the maternal-boss, decided to cook up a storm; roti canai (yes,from scratch), mee goreng, nasi goreng, popiah, chicken nibbles. We also had sushis, roasted chicken, fruit punch, tiramisu and tom yam. Hmm wot else....Also did a secret santa kinda thing where I ended up with a new set of parents!

Imagine that!

My parents as of now, are being soaked in a bucket, and in about 72 hours, they'll grow over 600%?!!!! What does that mean? I don't know.

Oh the excitement!

Hope they won't grow that much though...Would be kinda scary waking up to a pair of red-dwarfish parents, no?



Some fun-filled photos from last night's party.

I've just finished reading Haruki Murakami's novel, Kafka on the Shore. All I can say is...wow.

Here's a taste of what it's like being me, in the words of Mr. Murakami.

"Being empty is like a vacant house. An unlocked, vacant house. Anybody can come in, anytime they want".

"Living turned me into nothing. Weird...People are born in order to live, right? But the longer I've lived, the more I've lost what's inside me-and ended up empty".

Ahhhh...now where's that Prozac?

Ciao! Happpy holidays! Oh and let's not forget, Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha. Mbbekkk....Remember,

Kalau tak sampai hati,
Be a vegie!
