Graduating with MTV world stage live

August 16, 2009 by thejessicat

Malaysia had it rockin’ this time round as MTV World Stage was held at Sunway Surf Beach for the veryberry 1st time. This round, we saw the likes of Kasabian, Estranged, Pixie Lott, Boys Like Girls and my all time fave, The All American Rejects.

If I’m not wrong, the stats had 30K people in the house raving hard to these fabulous MTV rockstars. And guess what? For once, I wasn’t part of it – choosing to make my parents proud and attend my graduation ceremony instead of rockin my head off at this prestigious gig 🙁

Rockin my graduation when
MTV world stage was flying high

I’m somehow glad I made this decision though. You toiled through 2 and a half years & are finally at the end of the tunnel, don’t you want to receive your scroll on stage proudly in a proper convocation? I do. And so do the rest of my classmates.

With this, I bring you KDU Penang’s Graduation Ceremony 2009 held in Traders Hotel, by Shangri-La. It was to me, more of a Harry Potter fan club gathering than a convocation as we all had those wizardry cloaks to wear.

similar much?

I arrived the earliest (haha righhttttt) and luckily Nadia and Ms. Felicia helped me out with my Harry Potter cloak graduation robe. Gosh, I had no clue that it was that complicated to put on. Oh and FML my robe kept slipping off and the safety pins kept popping out for chrissakes.

Thanks muchie!

The students were all rounded up into the holding room – where no parents walk the earth. LOL anyway, what else could we do in that room other than to adjust our robes, chat, adjust our robes, make-up, adjust our robes, camwhore, adjust our robes and adjust our robes.

Darn those oversized garments!

Ron, Hermione & Harry

Myself with the MILF
Kindly ignore the oversized robes which make us look 100lb heavier.

Hey! I just noticed this multi-racial photo!
Malaysians : Chinese, Malay & Indian

One of my fave lecturers – Mr. Irwan
He’s so bubbly I tell ya, but remember to run a mile as his
moodswings can put a thunderstorm to shame

Myself with ex-‘Blondie-Shake-Head’ Kumar
and Leo tumpang glamour in the background!

Mr. Mark trying to pick up a fight when Kumar
made fun of his extra-shiny and polished head

I have a strange tendency to play with my lecturers’ motar board
Damn what dya call that dangling mini-broom again?

I’ve always thought ONE Enrique was enough
Dubbed the ‘short Chinaman with funny hair’ by Mr. Ken

During the graduation rehearsal & the ceremony itself,
we cannot deny that at some points, it bored us to tears (and hunger)
But Keira and I kept each other company
as we were placed nearby in alphabetical order

wheee! I love my sunflower bouquet
Thanks mom!

It was almost time! Most of us had butterflies in our stomach as the dramatic music played, imminent of our entrance into the Grand Ballroom. Oh randomly, WHY WASN’T IT OUR TURN THIS YEAR TO GET THE BLACK & RED ROBE? roar. It’s my favorite color!

Communication students walking the aisle
That’s me on the left if you hadn’t noticed.
heh.

Once we sat down, it was the series of long speeches by the principal, a minister of something-something, the president of the IMI Switzerland thingy and many other VIPs. Sorry for not remembering as I completely tuned out during the formalities – having only 3 hours of sleep the night before. FML

Then we were signalled to turn around and give
a welcoming applause to our parents

One by one, names of students were called out from various diploma/degree programmes under many departments such as the school of Engineering, Science & Technology, the school of Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Arts and the school of Arts & Social Sciences to receive their scroll.

i can haz scrollz

The next moment made mom & dad proud.
One student will be chosen from each school to be called on stage to receive an extra award. With joy, I was selected to be the receipient of the Book Prize from the Department of Mass Communications. Couldn’t have done it without my lecturers Mr.Mark, Mr. Ken, Mr. Irwan, Ms. Felicia, Ms. Ruby, Mr. Shen-Hoei, Mr. Aaron, Ms. Goh and Mr. Soohoo. My grattitude goes out to all of you!

This is for my family, my lecturers and myself bwahahahha.

Looks like being a nerd in college paid off!

I know a few of our juniors are reading this right now too. Heyya loves, you’ve only got a few more semesters to go, so ace your exams and get that boom boom pow going! Work hard while you’re at it. But don’t forget to party harder! Woots

Quote of the Day
by Mike’s Mom

“Mike, before you return your gown you better make sure
you take picture with us first ah!?! I want ah!
Remember, you know? Must ah!”

Okay, must must auntie.

We were all then rounded up like sheep again to the stage for a
large group photo with the principal and the VIPs
Can you see me & Abigail posing?

Once I exited the grand ballroom, there were big smiles plastered across my face the moment I saw mom, dad, goddy, both my grampers and my kakak. They showered me with two bouquet of flowers and an enourmous graduation teddy!

I swear I will build muscles by the time I get home. Carrying this everywhere I went was an uphill struggle as dad wanted agazzilion photos of me with the family, lecturers & friends.

I had to walk everywhere like this
… no thanks to dad!

I was touched, as grampa came all the way for my graduation – being a person which prefers to rest at home 24/7. I hardly express the soft side of me but… I love you gung-gung! Shuddup don’t laugh wtf.

Always loved you and always will.
Your presence at my graduation means so much.

Out of so many photos of me with both my grampers, I chose this one. Why? Because it thoroughly depicts their individual characters which are so fascinating, yet ones which I’m so fond of. Lemme show you what I mean –

Gramma always seem to have something to talk about
Grampa always looks elsewhere when his photo is taken

Both my folks & I
Living under the same roof & tuning in to nag.fm for 20years of my life
I’m more than ready to face university now, thanks mom & dad!

The Godmother, affectionately known to me as Goddy.
A prominant maternal figure in my life &
one who whips the asswipe outta me.
Fierce at times, but adorably cute when she’s tickled.

Thanks for piling academic pressure on me yet
approving of my constant partying
You never thought I could balance both – and I proved you wrong didn’t I?
If any mom rocks harder than her,
I’d have to pierce my nipples & tattoo my nose

The nanny, of which I call ‘kakak’
She’s been with us since I was a kid of 3.
That makes it 17 years now, can you bloody imagine that?

Definitely part of the family – love her to bits.

The motley crue.
Wished Uncle Mike was here to complete this wacky tribe!

I have an idea, let’s just all say ‘hello’ to Uncle Mike
in a form of a teddy.

SPOT MEEE! SPOT MEEE!

All’s well ends well. I’m glad I’ve finally graduated from the school of hard knocks! Well truth be told, college life wasn’t really that bad. It was fun at the same time. I will never forget that carpark Uncle who scratched people’s cars & our Maggi Goreng in that mamak store at the open aired carpark. Damp & oily noodles but still loved by our batch of Communication students.

I honestly wonder why.

Next stop – Moving my sweet and sour arse into The University of Melbourne to take on a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications (Hons.) majoring in Journalism. Let’s rock Down Under yo. G’dday!

Gahhh my chinese name -__-

It feels wonderful to be able to bid adieu to the institution you go to everyday for 2 and a half years of your life – now,
Imma face the working world ahead!

With ample time on my hands now, I’ll have time to get busy & begin on your avatars.
Oh, and my blogskin will be gradually changing starting from tomorrow, let’s bet if you’ll notice?

^_^

Aight, Imma go doll up now. Gonna go for dinner &

Kissing Competition?

March 9, 2009 by thejessicat

Okay so, there’s this Kissing Competition I’ve heard that’s ongoing; whereby the winner will walk away with lotsa cash. The amount wasn’t stated but ohwell, you could always use some extra cash, no?

Well, sounds simple.
But let’s see how it goes :

This is the subject for the ladies

And the men?

Be my guest

Now, a friend of mine showed me this whole competition thingy – which I doubt even does exist. But hey, I find it a tad too demeaning for less fortunate people who aren’t exactly blessed with perfect features.

Look, it’s even circulated by e-mail.
What if one day you receive an e-mail widely distributed to the inbox-es of many, with intention to poke fun and make a monkey’s uncle outta that person – ONLY TO DISCOVER IT IS YOU?

Not very nice, ain’t it?

If I could be the Malaysian Prime Minister for a day, I’d hold meetings with my senators to make necessary adjustments to the constitution.

So look, the first thing I’d put in the constitution is as stated above.

What more?

All Starbucks are to be opened 24-hours for insomniacs like my friends and I
NO ONE is to circulate mean e-mails of less fortunate people
No more exams (as suggested above by Caney)
Make men cover up their titties just like how ladies are supposed to
Import Shia LaBeouf over to Malaysia for a 1 week holiday
Abolish rice and instead make FLAT BISCUITS the staple food of Malaysia
Any suggestions dear readers? I’ll add it in right away!

WHAT FLAT BISCUITS am I talking about?
Yeah, it’s something I just discovered. Mom made me eat it after seeing me sitting, sleeping, studying for exams and not moving from the same goddamn couch for 3days in a row.

This is the one:

Can you believe Famous Amos produced these babies?

Yeah. I couldn’t. I only thought Famous Amos made those usual fat round cookies. Now these flat biscuits are so darn different. It melts in your mouth with the nutty taste of almond!

Now can anyone say :
I CAN HAZ
~~CHEEZBURGER~~ PHLAT BIZKITS?

MY VERSION of the Kising Competition !

Alright honestly, I don’t even know the point nor intention of this whole post. It’s extremely random and nonsensical. Ain’t no fault of mine. It’s the exam stress that’s causing me to go bonkers.

Yes I know.
I’m in my friggin’ pyjamas because I slept at 6am and just woke up at 1pm in the afternoon, no make-up whatsoever, in (yes your 1st time seeing me in them) glasses ,
with unruly hair admidst my exam notes.

BUT DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A RATS ASS?

No.

the finals of all final exam begins tomorrow
~~and I’m screwed~~
and then it’s byebye to college!
WOOOOOOOOOTS!!

arghhh FUGGGGG

FML

BUT

On a brighter note, my classmates and I went out for lunch at Coffee Island together and walked in fashionably late for Mr. Mark’s internship prep class.
Sorry sir! >_<

A very disgusted Ken, his Oriental Chicken Chop & a very disgusted Joyce
(i finished his broccoli wtfreak)

That’s Ivan. We live in the same neighbourhood.
Isn’t he adorable? (NOTE : IN THE PHOTO ONLY)
mebbe thats why ‘ivans-girlfriend’ likes him sso much.
XD inside joke

Melvin & his idk-wot-its-called
but it sure looks delicious!

Denise, Lynn and I
Well, we’ll all be interning in nearby places!
(hahahaaha websites *points at Lynn*)

Ivan & I sitting directing opposite each other, four tables away

Hmm.. those are the peeps I’ve spent my 2 and a half years in college with. Well, we’ll all be going seperate ways now.. but who knows? Maybe we’ll meet whilst working someday somehow in the future – we’re in the same industry after all!

can your EXAM STRESS SYMPTOMS BEAT MINE??

December 1, 2008 by thejessicat

I think I’m going nuts.

strangely, I never knew how I looked like in study-mode.
thanks mum!

The final exam week has just begun and I’m beginning to show signs of spasmodically untamed behaviour and much discountenance to the people around me. .

[[ — SYMPTOM #1 — ]]

My frequent trips to Starbucks prior to the exam week has made me fast friends with the baristas alike. They give me one look and yell, “One Green Tea Latte – hot!”

But alas, since it was the Christmas season and whatnot.. I decided to follow the bandwagon. AND ORDERED DARK CHERRY MOCHA FRAP INSTEAD.

*glares at CincauHangus & WetWetWaterKelvin*

It sucks.
Green Tea Latte beats the ice outta Dark Cherry Mocha Frap ANYTIME!!

[[ — SYMPTOM #2 — ]]

My circumference is drastically widening. All because my stomach is getting bigger.
And no, I’m not pregnant. God forbid.

It’s because…..

Mom has made me consume 3000 mL of water everyday, as she always does during any exam season of mine. Her proclivity of such has drived me up the wall!! @_@

What do I look like to you mom, an aquarium??

♥♥

but hey, i still love her.

and. that’s not the worst part.

[[ — SYMPTOM #3 — ]]

My face has physiologically been distorted to a point of no return.
cos I have to down 6 bottles of BRAND’s Chicken Essence in a week!!! I don’t know about you guys, but the smell, in my opinion is simply distasteful.

>__<

Imagine squeezing and extracting the essence outta a cow and then blending it all into a bottle? Ugh. Don’t start. Only that in this case, it’s a chicken.

Yes, shaddap chicken.

But heyho! At least I have my lil tiny bottles of liquor chocolates to counter attack the repelling taste of chicken essence. Hence, the final symptom :

[[ — SYMPTOM #4 — ]]

My alcohol intake has raised by 50%

Thank God for the creation of these miniature bottles
Shots of these works better than coffee f.y.i
^__^

I’ve still plenty left in the freezer if you exam-slaves want any!
=P =P

I’d better sign off soon before my arsenal of surveillance cameras come after me for blogging AGAIN and not studying.

*switches off camera buttons on DSX, Joshy, TzeLih, Evelyn, Sharlyn, Parry, Naim, Miloken, Kelvin, Diese, Grog, AhBern and are there anymore surveillance cameras I forgot?*

LOL Toodles!

Best of luck to you too stepson DSX!
xoxo

ok darn. I’m still here.

omg ignore the unruly hair. exam fever.

P/S – and to all the exam slaves of ANY exam,
come cari me in the middle of the night when you’re
burning the midnight oil for liquor chocs okie?

*giggles*
im out!
(for real)

progress : revisions for tomorrow’s papers
