what a waste.

So. School's about to start in 2 days.
woopee?
^^''

i can't wait, to be honest. But i feel extremely unsatisfied. See that list of 'SUMMERTHINGSTODOHUZZAH'? Yeah. I didn't do a lot of them.

T___T.

I don't know whether i should blame it on myself or anyone mummy driver but what has happened has happened, all we have to do is keep moving forward.

I thought i was going gang-rape my blog on my own. But that didn't work out because of the camera on my phone not being there by my side.
Because my phone doesn't work.
I dont know why.
I need to get it fixed.
Finding the right time.
WILL GET THERE JULIA DONT WORRY KTHNXBYE.

movies that you wonder why you haven't watched yet

i was about to embark on a journey to watching some 1998 reconstruction of a Sleeping Beauty ballet when suddenly i realised i have never watched it before...

SO.

I youtubed 'sleeping beauty' and i'm going to watch the movie.
For the first time in my life O__o

i also have never completely watched The Little Mermaid. I saw the second movie though o.o

How odd. I feel incomplete, and i called myself a classics disney fanatic *sighs*



care to join?


here's a picture too

just because i bothered to upload it onto my photobucket account after googling 'Sleeping Beauty'

oh dear. unoriginal pictures, i'm blogging like ky this is so bad.
i need to fix my samsung, or get a memory card for this memory-cardless camera given to me by anushea T__T.


OH WAIT. i have to find ky online and make him watch it with me so im not so alone.
and i have to do the chores, to make me feel like im not a complete useless daughter [i have been for the past week, using the dance as an excuse to get out of my chores. but no no no that is definately not the way to do it.]

ballet

Hmmm... So you know how female ballet dancers are ballerinas, i went off googling the male counterpart of that name.
Turns out that ballerina is the name for the 'principal female dancer of a company, the real male equivalent of "ballerina" is the "premier danseur", or the primary dancer in a company'
so... There isn't a male counterpart for that name... Which i shall now invent, and is now known as...

ballernado.

^__^ sweet.

ANYWAYS.
I'm blogging because i'm waiting for the youtube streaming to load, of what i hear you ask? The 1968 recording of the Swan Lake ballet. It's like a movie version of it. Yes, a ballet. It's pretty extreme, i notice how the primary female dancer (odette/odile) has absolutely nothing to do with the other female dancers, apart from the prince who is a remarkable image of barbie's boyfriend; ken
i also notice that the ballernados are extreme in the heights of their jumps, where they have to fit at least 2 twirls before they land. wows.

Ballernados lack in attention nowadays. SO i shall do my part and start googling famous ballernados. In which, in a few days, i shall report back with my findings.

Man their legs are made of like kryptonite @__@.


Another thing i've noticed about my habits, is my obsession with reading the 'Trivia' section on imdb where you see the behind-the-scene facts and figures of movies. I tend to almostalways do this after watching a movie. And if it has absolutely anything to do with real-life people or events, i switch over to wikipedia to read about it, and actually finish reading everything about it.
Like today, I read the long summary of Giacomo Casanova's life (after watching Casanova with the scrumptious heath ledger) which had extremely different story aspects. The movie served a more emphasis on his role as the king of seduction and getting into ladies' panties and of course finding love with the ultimate hotness independant female writer publishing works under a man's name *Sienna Miller<3* ending with an awful but entertaining reuniting-with-family-and-suddenly-running-away-from-government-with-them-and-with-lover-and-family scene.
Casanova's real life was completely different, yes he was a womanizer, but gambled alot, was exiled from Venice for 18 years, tried to enforce the lottery idea in several countries, escaped from prison, travelled quite a lot *mostly europe* where he was kicked out not after long and basically suffered some disease from too much sex (i think its too early in the timeline to claim it was HIV)
The only reason why we know about this dude is because he was stuck being a librarian for the last few years of his life where he wrote a memoir saying I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding. [oh yeah, thats a quote] so if he didn't write about his life, we wouldn't use his name as a reference to a womanizer.

From movies, i also read about Anastasia's life and the Tsar family, Marie Antoinette, the Dutchess *forgot her name already, the movie just pinpointed to one of her many affairs*

hmmm... it always has to do with that side of the timeline.

Well, it shows movies aren't completely useless, i have profound knowledge of people in history! so shove it and move along and let me enjoy my movies~

I watched Freedom Writers last night. Cried me eyes out.
Urgh.

w00. streaming finished loading.

Nerds Gone Nuts

Hmmm... Highlights of last week;

1. Shredding paper for 2 hours by hand
what a joy that was, it let to some temporary insanity, but thankfully no papercuts.

2. Major bonding times with Arif's PSP.
if you wanna play a game for hours without realising the time passing by, its Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge ^___^

3. Performing at SHORT+SWEET ASLDKNAWOI DAW
we even won some awards~

Suhaili *the mastermind choreographer* won best Female Dancer for Shades of the Moon and best Choreography *YEAH*

Naim, the little man made of hardcore stainless STEEL *he can do pretty much everything x___X* who won Best Male Dancer.
If you saw the performance, you'd see why it was so obvious that he'd get it

and for best Overall Performance...
Who else but Nerds Gone Nuts?


Top Row (Left to Right);
Fadzli, Naim, Amellia and Suhaili
Bottom Row;
Kristen, Me, May Jean, Janice and Mark Yong

kristen and mark yong were our crew >:3
YEAH!

OH YEAH.
^___^

it was a lot of fun, from the messing around in the changing room, listening to the amusing commentary from the intercom, and of course, to actually perform in KLPac and with a group of brilliant dancers.

One thing i got annoyed with was my right suspender, which kept on coming off. It really... REALLY pissed me off.
Like, big time.
@___@

i feel so empty now.
i wanna do latin dance.
anyone wanna sponsor me?
.___. let's move to subang jaya, i'm so drawn to their studio...

I'm so upset my closest friends couldn't come lah!
All you btiches! (intended spelling error) SUFFER!
I think it's karma for forgetting someone's birthday

but my family came! Like. ALL OF IT [yes, including parents] I'm so happy that they can see it~
Mummy's comment:
You done? K. Let's go home.

^^''


urgh. i'm so sad.
i'm gonna drown myself in Nasi Lemak, whilst thinking of more brilliant ideas to make up for forgetting nikesh's birthday cuz i'm just totally the best friend ever in the worlds my boy nikesh.

i means it nikesh! it's like, *picks up phone* HELLO? of course it's gonna be awesome. when has it never been NOT awesome!?

ice skating is fun. i am so pro man!


gonna mandi now.
YO!


GO TO SHORT+SWEET GUYS!

oh my eyes...

Completely a Lord of the Rings Marathon Back-to-Back O__o

it was quite stressful actually, because the DVDs (which were original, my friends, thanks to julia) liked to friggin lag and stutter on me on the DVDs, which resulted in countless changing of DVDs and also a transfer to watching the movie on the laptop.

It took 2 days.
Why?
Because my friends, these were not the simple versions that came out on the cinema.

It was

special edition with new and extended scenes BWAHAHAHA

ah. it was such a pleasure.
Let's go to New Zealand next year, visit the Shire and Rivendale. It would complete me.

and then i spent 30 minutes reading the trivia section on The Return Of The King on IMDB ^^''

joys.

ANUSHEA

yesteryesterday (2 days ago now) after rehearsals i went to visit anushea at her humongous house. It was much fun. But even though her smses say they are so excited to see me, when i arrive she completely ignores me. Why? Because she a bully. But a special one, she's a friend bully. She's too kind to bully strangers and puny people. So she bullies us.
And especially when i'm like... This. I am probably her favourite victim in Malaysia X3



Hi Anushea!

Did you know what else i did at her house? I went shopping:

I was supposed to use the clothes as cloth for future sewing projects and such. But i wear them instead. Tee hee



But Yesterday was VERY chaotic.
I was supposed to go to KLPac for rehearsals, and asked Suhaili to pick me up from the KTM on her way and she said 'I'll be there by 1.45pm' but i was like
'isn't the rehearsal from 5-7pm?'
and she said
'no. at 2'
and i got this message at 1.30pm
i didnt wanna believe it and i checked my schedule.
And it was 2-4pm.
SO I FREAKED.

Uncle JoDriver was already in teh middle of friday prayers i suspected, so i packed my bag, and locked the house. Because i dont have a gate key i put my key in the door lock. Click the gate button *in the house* and quickly lock the house and run out before the gate closes me in.

And then i sprinted towards teh UKM KTM. My initial plan was to ask one of the guards at the guardhouse (yes we have guards and guard houses) to send me to the KTM. But no one was there! (Not because Bangi is abandoned, but later i found out they only work on evening+night shifts)

So i sprinted on my own.
I was soo tempted to stop those university students and ask them for a lift.
But i know all about stranger danger, so i kept my cool for abit.

And i ran up before the bridge and i saw the mini bus. And i was like

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

and payed 70sen to the bus driver and calmed down for a bit before i got to the KTM.
When i got to the KTM there was a LOOOOOOONG line.
And i freaked out.
But i decided to go with the machine.

And got my sentul ticket (going to urbanscapes i definitely knew my way to sentul from UKM thnxgod) and waited there.

And i started tearing up because it was 1.39 or something. And Suhaili called

'Illia. Where are you?'
'IN THE KTM T______T'
'How long will you be?'
' 2 hours I'm not sure the trains are pretty unpredictable'
'Oh. Okay'
'I'LL TRY TO BE THERE ASAP X___X'

When you get to KLSentral you have to change lines to go to sentul. The train came 5 minutes earlier than it said in the sign. I got soooo excited.

But then suddenly, it stopped there. For like the longest 10 minutes of my life.
I got stressed out so i finished my rubix cube 4 times or something to calm me down [once you're very comfortable with solving the rubix cube it no longer is stressing but calming]

And then when i FINALLY got to Sentul, i ran out hoping to find a teksi (there are aaalways teksis there) but guess what?

there was none

so i fucking ran for it.
I passed by a teksi, stopped it and asked how much to get to KLPac and he said 'KLPac?' So i slammed the door at him.

I know a much safer way to get around to KLPac but it meant taking a huuuge u-turn along the pavements. So i went by the highway, which was very dangerous because i was running along it. Thankfully all the cars made way for me.

When i got into the sentul park i was like
*wiping last tears* LETS FUCKING GO ILLIA!!!!


And started running.

And then this really big nice car (something like... Ivan's car but nicer X3) stopped and stuck his head out the window and asked
'Do you need a ride?'

And i was SO close. So i ran towards him as he asked and said
YES PLS

I swung the door open as he made space for me and the car.
and we conversed about me being late for a rehearsal and he said that he was part of the Let's Go Mamak production (which i've been wanting to go see)

I know all about stranger danger. But he was so kind and his face was so sincere about it.

I really appreciated it and i ran out of the car into KLPac and went to the top floor where i knew there were studios. But there was a yoga session going on. So i go confused.
So i asked one of the S+S organisers where it was and found it.
KLPac is a really nice place to work at you know O__o i wanna work there!

Well. I got there. And i dumped all my stuff on teh floor and i was like
SORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY



and learnt my marching thing.

note; when i say 'running' it means. 10seconds of running followed by jogging, power walking and more jogging and when i have enough energy a run again ^^'' i cant do that long running thing like in the movies.

I only rehearsed for 30minutes of the initial 120minutes of the rehearsal. T__T. That's only 1/4th of the session.

URGH.

Anyways. Suhaili dropped me and Naim off at the KTM after rehearsals (where he bought me my KLSentral ticket ^^)
when we were sitting at the train stop i thought
*AHA! This is a perfect time to get to know him*

and then he asked me where i take the KTM from and i said UKM. And he replied
'rashin'


rajin? *hardworking*
it didnt make sense.

And i got so lost. i decided to make a queezy face instead and avoided his face X3.

When we go to KLSentral we coincidentally wanted to eat McD's
I went to buy my order first.
I had to wait for like 10 minutes.

And when i sat down as he went to order his.
He came back 3 minutes later with his food.

Stupid queues!

We were eating in silence. And i got really annoyed, because i really wanted to talk to him because i've never met a male malay contemporary dancer. But i didn't wanna embarass myself with my ridiculous bahasa melayu.
When we were eating my head kept on saying
'lepas ni, abang naim pergi ke mana?'
over and over and over again.

And i FINALLY ASKED HIM.

And he said he had a theatre show a BBP. *no idea where that is* and i was in total shock that he did drama too X3.
The theatre was about the journey of getting a haji O___o
thats pretty hardcore.


And i asked him how long has he been dancing. And he said 'Form 1' [year 7?] and he just did it for fun. And then he started doing shows and stuff.
But like me, he never took classes. So he's like a natural lah!
And he's so flexible O__o its UNFAIR.
He said you dont have to be, being flexible is a bonus.
I know. BUT I WANT THAT BONUS!


^________^ this was all in malay btw you guys. *with aid of a couple of english words*

he's a really good dancer. I like his style of dancing, its very disciplined. He's applying for a scholarship to korea to do contemporary *OHMY(GEEx5)*
or he wants to get into ASWARA, where he shall REALLY learn how to dancey ^___^


wah his life sounds like a lot of fun u___u

and you know what else he said?
that it was easy to work with me because i pick up moves very fast

dancey compliments always make me happy

So i went to Midvalley where i waited for 4 hours for illa.
i would've called someone to play with me. but i was so beat. i didnt care. I just stared at people.
And kids.



and saw an old man wearing suspenders.
ehehe awesome.


have to flatten some boxes and throw out trash now T__T
