After So Long
-looping "Take Me To The Riot" by Stars-
Ah, another long period of no posts. Due to lazyness, I must say. Of course, a lot of things happened yesterday and the days before this (aside from Aiman being extra-extra nice to me, sending me back. To Mother's. THRICE in a week~!! =3). Some I was told not to blog about in here while some I just forget...
Oh well, those has happened and that's that. I will be talking about today.
I skipped CCS today, and found out that my escape was worthwhile! THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT VIRUSES. WOW. Well, good thing I didn't attend. I was still busy choosing a song for my presentation (which I thought I could present today, but...), juggling between
The first one was simply about a personal ad reply-get-together that went wrong. The second is...I don't know. 0.o And the last one was about prostitution. I think. These were all judged from the lyrics.
Then I decided to look for visual aids (knowing that most of them need these visual aids), so I searched YouTube for these songs and found...some of 'em.
Personal - Stars
The first song ain't too bad. In fact, it was pretty sad...and smart, in a way. It was all done on a window, animation and such. Conveying the message through drawing on the window screen.
Twice - Little Dragon
Beautiful shadow play. Beautiful. I really love the video here. BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SONG IS TRYING TO CONVEY. 0___0
Take Me To The Riot - Stars
Now this is a fun song~! Upbeat! Fast-paced! And rather sexy in a way (the way the two singers were singing at each other, I meant). The female singer's rather pretty, I must say. But the song didn't somewhat match with what I thought about the song when I first read the lyrics. He seems to be having fun and going in clubs and such...
But, after much thinking (and negotiations), I've chosen Take Me To The Riot by Stars! =3 Controversial, yes! I can relate it to the Sufiah Yusof story~ Prostitution. An interesting topic.
Right, now that that's settled, I will move on to what happened today.
Syafiq was planning to drop out from college and go straight to work. And well...knowing me and Tash and Jules, we told him off. Well, not EXACTLY telling him off. We just thought that it wasn't a good idea and that he shouldn't go for it. I mean, yea, well, anyone would kill to get into his position right now. And almost everyone in this world hates to work, but they have no choice. And here he is, trying to rush into the working world...
I just thought it's not very appropriate, but blame my upbringing for this. I've been raised in a family where all these result-study-how-many-A's-did-you-get comes into play. A lot. I've been compared a lot with my cousins and such, so yes, automatically my mind rejects that idea. But then again, I don't know him THAT well to judge his motives so...I can't really say much.
*sighs* Well, in the end, it's something that he wants to do and I am in no position to stop him in any way. I just pray that he knows what he's doing.
It's rather sad though, seeing people this way. I mean, yea, it's what they want and all, but my mind kept going back to the ones who work because they have no other choice but to do so. Those, I can understand. But...to just throw away your opportunity to experience life as a student in college is like...throwing a huge chunk of your life from you.
Every person in this world (well, maybe not all of them, but for those who could afford education) deserves to at least enter college/university once before stepping into the corporate world. I mean, if you have the chance, then go for it! If you don't like it, find something else that you like! But...well, if you're already in it and you find yourself not really liking it, just go on with it. I mean, well, if you quit, it's just a waste of your parent's money. If you don't quit and continue with the thing you don't like, well, at least you'd learn something along the way, no?
Even if they're all just theories and dull assignments, it's still something for everyone to learn. Besides, your parents are giving you the chance to let you enjoy campus life! Take it! You'll never get this opportunity ever again!
But...well, if that is his choice, then like I said earlier, I can't help it.
And all this talk about universities brought me to another issue.
Just the other day, I got the blue card from PTPTPN saying that my application is accepted and is being processed. Well, rather hopeful, but my status is still not clear. So I can't hope too much. I have to hold on to the EPF form a little while longer. And my declaration letter on my father's disappearance as well.
Another one was an offer from UiTM (Universiti Teknologi MARA) for me to do a Diploma in stage play scriptwriting. 0.o Well, it was more of an interview for this Sunday. And the audition seems a wee bit odd because...I was told to sing...dance...and act out a scene from the lines of a script included in there. Also, I'm supposed to analyse TWO malay movies.
Sure, I don't mind. I mean, I like P.Ramlee. But...another malay movie would most probably be "Baik Punya Cilok". That was hilarious but...I can't quite remember most of it. Then again, I have a feeling I have to diversify my movie genre.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO ANALYSE THE STUPID ROMANTIC MALAY MOVIE. BLEGH. HORRIBLE. SERIOUSLY.
Even Puteri Gunung Ledang was...not good. I bet the Musical was much better.
Oh well. And I may have to skip the dancing part. I can't dance, though I could sing. I'll most probably play a piece on the piano or something...XDD
Ahh, Mother doesn't seem to happy with this (she wanted me to get Communication from UiTM, but oh well. Too bad) but she told me to go along with it anyway. XD
Problem is, my Father's not suppose to know about this...nor do anyone on the other side there...
*sigh* This is troublesome, really. Labels: malay movie, ptptn, song, uitm, university
