Cain and Abel

Oopssss !!! I broke my promise again !!!
I have abandoned my blog for 2 months plus. Seriously, life has been super super busy in the past 2 months.
Nah... I lied a little. It is true that life was really busy but I did have some time in between for writing. Yet I really did not feel like writing. There were times I did open the "composing new post page" but just could not write down anything at all because I was just really reluctant to write...
Now, forget about that. I am back home for 4 months. Yay !!! So I will try to update my blog from time to time.
Ermm... What should I share in this post?
Well, I shall talk about the "new" korean drama I have just finished watching just now. Why do I use inverted commas? It is simply because the drama is an old one (2009) but I just got it from a friend and finished watching it just a moment ago.
"Cain and Abel" is the name. It is quite nice and definitely worth watching. You can say that its plot is different from the usual korean dramas storyline and yet quite predictable.
Overall, it is a bit slow and a little boring because it was a bit draggy and quite predictable for me but I continued watching. (Frankly speaking, I continued watching because of the male protagonist --> He is very cute... + the ost for this drama is super duper nice. All the songs are awesome. I am listening to the songs right now. Just cannot stop listening. Oh my ! I am addicted !)
Must list down the OST:-
01 Foolish love - Choi Hyun Joon & G (Guess what. So Ji Sub is actually G, the rapper)
02 Love... is sweet - SAT
03 The sad words of leaving - V.O.S
04 The tears are dry - Lee Soo
05 Goodbye sadness - Jang Hye Jin
06 Fate - Howl
08 Tomorrow (acoustic version) - Chae Jung Ahn
The tracks listed above are recommended ! ^^ I do not like 07 though. The one I like the most is Tomorrow. =) I think I will go get the OST but do not know whether can get it or not since this drama is quite "old". Sigh...
Now, straight to the pros and cons of Cain and Abel:-
Pros:
- The male protagonist is super cute
- Wonderful OST
- Managed to make me shed tears in quite a number of episodes (can save up on Eye Mo ^_^)
- Cannot think of any other strengths. But strength no.1 is good enough for me to watch any
dramas or movies. Haha...
Cons:
- Storyline is predictable
- Male antagonist is super irritating
- Female lead - Oh Young Ji is too selfish (Felt like slapping her sometimes)
- Plot too slow and draggy
- Some parts of the plot is illogical and do not make any sense at all
- The worst male and female lead pairing I have ever seen. No chemistry at all...
But strength no.1 solely is enough to outweight the weaknesses of this drama. Haha...
This drama reinforced the fact of "humans' ugliness because of money, power, and fame" to me. Money is really really bad; and greed + jealousy are really really really scary.
Wow... It is 2 in the morning already. I got to stop writing and go to bed right now because I am going to start my community service tomorrow. So, I guess I will discuss and write more in the next posts.
Gotta go. Good night world !!!

Last Day of February in 2011

Today is 28th February. The last day of the month. I am trying to wrap up what had happened throughout this whole month. Let me think back.

Firstly, it was CNY on 3rd and 4th Feb. This year's CNY was quite disappointing as school started on the 4th day of CNY. So I was supposed to go back to Kelantan on the 3rd day but well, I am not a good girl. So I went back on the the 4th day instead. I actually booked a flight ticket on the 6th day but due to the stupid pharmacology CA and a few important lab practicals, I had to get a new ticket and went back earlier. =( Hopefully I can enjoy next year's CNY.

Next were the make up classes in preparation for our campus's CNY Night 2011.


Jamie and I attended make up class together :)


I also had my first hair cut in Kelantan.

The last week of Feb was extremely busy. I was in the make up team for the CNY event. Thanks goodness, we were able to flee after putting on make up for the performers in the afternoon. Hence, we were allowed to "enjoy" the night (we were not given any seats though, because the hall was full. so we had to stand the whole night).


Lin Hsin, Jia Yin and I

Then, I together with my roomies and course mates went out to have an early birthday celebration. A big thank you to you guys. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot !

The FOC drink - Jasmine tea with honey (i guess) but it tasted like perfume

Girls power

Oops. we should have cleared the table before taking photos

Life is Hectic

Lately, life has been really hectic.

But I could not care more.

Watch dramas and movies as usual.

I need some time for myself.

Reports, assignments, examinations, etc... SCREW you !

My New Hair Cut


Me, with my new hair cut


Today I went for a hair cut with my roomies after lunch. This is my first time having a hair cut here even though I have been here for more than 1 and 1/2 years. I would wait until I get back to hometown to get a hair cut. However, the next time I will be home is in April. Therefore, I have decided to give it a try.
My verdict: Not too bad but I would say not as professional as the stylists back home.

I Just Discovered My Interest

All this while, I do not have much interest in everything or anything I do. Therefore, I have nothing to pursue after. And maybe this is the reason why I took up Dietetics here (USM offered me a place to study).
Sometimes, I wonder what am I interested in and what do I want to be in the future. To be honest, I have no idea, at all. You might be wondering: are there such people in this world, who do not know what they want in life. Yes, there are. Well, I am such a person. I am pretty much lost in this sense.

Recently, I sort of attended make up and facial classes. I felt relaxed and happy learning more about facial care and make up techniques (I have attended make up classes before though). Finally, I have found something that I have slight interest in. ----> Make up
(well, is there a girl in this world who does not want to make herself more presentable and gaining more confidence. no, right?)

Me with the eye makeup on after the second day of class. (solely eye makeup only, without makeup on other parts of my face.)

Me again with solely eye makeup on only, after the second class. (OMG! my eyebags and dark circles. I need concealer!)


As a matter of fact, I think I have more interest in the non-science stream fields. I have even thought of being a hairstylist or a wedding planner. I cannot really picture myself being a dietitian. Up to this point, I am still unsure whether I really want to become one (dietitian). I just could not find any interest in dietetics, besides being happy with the thoughts of being able to go to the hopsital for work (well, I love the hospital's smell. I am weird, ain't I?).
So, question of the day: Am I in the wrong field for studies?
Hmmm. No answers yet. So I shall just go on with it and grab a degree first. I will see how things work out for me. Hopefully, things will eventually fall into places.
Having interest in something does not mean I have to do it for a living, And not having interest in something does not mean I cannot excel in it.

Pei Yen, must have faith in yourself. Even if you do not like something, you can still achieve something out of it with faith and determination.

Making Love Out of Nothing At All


Ever since I got this song from my brother, I just could not stop listening to it. I find its melody very beautiful. I realise that songs from the 80s and 90s are actually nicer than the songs nowadays.


[Making Love Out of Nothing At All] by Air Supply from the album {Making Love... The Very Best of Air Supply} released in 1983.

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie

I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
And I know that time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you everything
I've got to tell you
But I know I've got to give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rule
And then I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all


Everytime time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim
At your eyes like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn it into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've got to follow it, 'cause everything I know, well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the run or stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
