Oh yay! I’ve got a HD for my fiction writing class! Care to take a read?

May 16, 2011 by thejessicat

 

 

So I've been working for hours on end on my never-ending assignments and pulling all-nighters.

Yup, pretty much stressed but still surviving! As of now, I still have 2 more major assignments to complete.

 

Just another lovely, chilly evening at rez

(You might see the rays of the sun, but it's below 10°C now)

 

When night falls, there's even frost on the grass and mist coming outta your mouth when you talk

How I miss Malaysian weather already

 

 

Anyway, what made my day today was when my lecturer returned our assignments.

I wasn't expecting much, seeing that he keeps emphasizing that my work isn't good enough. But when I saw a High Distinction (HD) written with red ink on my cover sheet, I was elated beyond words.

 

Just thought I'd share (go make yourself a cuppa hot chocolate before reading this) ;):

 

 

            The sun began to set on the horizon; casting enigmatic shadows upon the sidewalks of faded, uneven gravel. The trails of this languid settlement led to an uncertain foray into nothingness; winding, and descending. The air was gray and opalescent; a solitary ray of light swiftly outlined the skyscrapers; then another light; and a hundred more glimmered into vision with each flash of the passing headlights.

 

          As time elapsed, the faint shades of sunset, encompassing vermilion and sanguine hues made way for a dark canvas of thick, iron studded skylights. The man in the moon must be in a joyous mood, for tonight’s iridescence was more golden than harvest moons; and brightly aglow, akin to the winter moon.

 

          Seventy acres of this town were dotted with old, dilapidated huts where hundreds of plebeians call home. A large forsaken warehouse barricaded by fencing stood erect to the left; and to the right, an abandoned playground scattered with equipment – what was once synonymous with colour, now engulfed by immense corrosion. In the corner, lived an increasing horde of rodents that prowled trash-cans and scraps from a poultry slaughter-house. Not too far away, lay a half-obliterated carcass beyond recognition, of what used to be a small creature, reeking of a stench so foul, with maggots thriving on its fetid, disintegrated flesh.

 

          Watching great drops of an unexpected heavy shower of rain splatter down, pooling into dark stains on the sidewalk; little homeless children scurried from the harsh tirades of the weather and huddled closely beneath tattered, worn-out awnings of the abattoir. Though it stank with the most revolting odour, it was their only means of refuge from the merciless downpour.  A sudden gush of wind soon enveloped the town with an icy-coldness that permeates the depths of the soul; quivering the very marrow of the bone in unison. Such unwelcome November rain had perversely stolen the days last hour and pawned it with a vibe of fear and desolation.

 

          In the near distance, the silhouette of a feminine figure could be made out to be trudging along those rough terrains; drenched by torrents of the heavy rain. Of why she was barefoot and forlorn, was unbeknownst to anyone who jostled past her. A loud creak broke the deafening silence of this bleak, stormy night when iron doors of a nearby Hollywood film set flung open abruptly. The subsequent heavy roaring of a rising crowd and the interlaced clatter of many voices swamped the scene. She stood insignificantly, like a fly on the wall, watching silently as the throng passed.

 

          Ladies in evening gowns could be seen wearing their long locks in loose, delicate waves, crowded along with shrieks of strident laughter; two to an umbrella, where most of them had their arms around pallid, immaculate men, decked in pressed suits. They ambled past, accompanied by chauffeurs into sleek limousines, followed by a squad of bodyguards swaggering past, boasting due savoir faire expected of them as sentinels of the elite. Even so, blinding lights of cameras still flash by as paparazzi tailed the crème de la crème of Tinseltown until the very second they zoomed out of sight. When all the merriment of the rich and famous began to subside, the town was once again, left in a depressing state of obscurity.

 

          Deserted, sordid… and ghastly.

 

          There were dubious activities around the corner, illicit motherhood in the attic three blocks away, and felons menacing every nook and cranny. Nightmares of perspiration between the clammy walls took to an overpowering force upon the building. Those concrete walls, made of red bricks plastered haphazardly in cement, echoed with silence. Amongst the grime and undergrowth breeding in the corners, a stolen thought arose. A fragmented, discontinuous thought which scrambled around in that darkened corner, running in search of other thoughts, hungry for a connection.

 

 "Help," says the thought in its faint, mellifluous tone; a disembodied voice so light it barely resonates.

 "Help…we aim for justice, it shall prevail".  

 

          I look more closely at the thought, at the silver glittering off its skin at it weaves in and out of the dim glow of the swaying, cracked bulb hanging loosely from the wall lamps. It is shaped like a prism – a tiny insignificant thing, yet unspeakably glorious in the magnitude of its beauty. It beckons me; drawing me closer into an unfathomable intimacy.

 

          A squalid phantasmagoria flashed by abruptly and shattered my train of thought. It soon disappeared into the mist as my futile attempts to squint vigorously in hopes of regaining my vision were in vain. It is not uncommon for the folks of this sinister town to conjure apparitions every now and then; like a Freudian dream left unearthed. For the history behind this place lays a morbid incident which took place several years ago; unspoken of and by no means allowed to leave one’s lips.

 

          There is much to say about this town, but very few dare to utter a word.

So, that's the end! 😀 Alright, my dinner is almost ready to be eaten now. Had been cooking all afternoon!

On the menu today : Cheese Baked Pumpkin Rice with Salmon, Cherry Tomatoes and Asparagus 🙂 There's also spring onions,  golden corn, brussel sprouts, carrots on the casserole sprinkled with lots of basil, coriander and mixed herbs too.

I know I still owe you guys plenty of blogposts of my daily cooking voyages, but then again I've too many pending posts to actually keep track anymore 🙁 I don't think I'll ever run out of things to blog about, only running out of time!

Have a good evening ahead while I enslave myself to those merciless assignments!

Happy Halloween 2010! Of freaky pumpkin carvings, a Wasabi challenge & unlocking the Foursquare Spooky Swarm badge!

October 30, 2010 by thejessicat

 

Hey hey I'm still here! 😀
 

 

Yes eventhough my finals are what, 2 days away, I kinda still need to work my fingers and mind here for a bit and also to have you peeps still spellbound reading my verbal diarhoea all the time😀 Nyehehe. I kid!

 

So yes, already done with Journalism 2. International Studies will be on Tuesday, Media Culture Power next week and finally, Media Text 2 days after that.
 

 

AND I'D TASTE THE SCHWEEEEET SMELL OF FREEDOM!

for the time being.

 

 

 

Also, Happy Halloween to all of you freaks out there freakier than me 😛

Here is a freaky collection of pumpkin carvings which my mom forwarded to me. Just thought Imma share it with yall!
 

 

 


 


 

 

and my favorite one ever!

OBAMA OBAMAAAAA!



 

I guess the president extends his wishes too.
 

Happy Halloween America! 😀
 

 

 SO YES, I SPENT MY HALLOWEEN STUDYING MY BRAIN OFF! T__T THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT'S FREAKY ENOUGH OF A HALLOWEEN FOR ME. SIGH.

 

 

Oh and guess what!
 

In conjunction with Halloween, Foursquare has some awesome badges to be unlocked.

 

Check out the ones I've unlocked recently 🙂
 

 


 

 

Sigh. With all the hype, I guess this year is my 1st year stemming my streak of dressing up and partying down on All Hallows Eve.

Check out what I was up to during Halloween 2007, 2008 and 2009

 

Before I go, I will leave you with a video of my housekeeper challenging us to a Wasabi Challenge.
 

Apparently, she failed her own challenge LOL
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om5vM_0mI7Y
 

Evidently, she's not having a good time 😛
 

 

But I'm sorry, you're really barking up the wrong tree. When it comes to anything spicy or hot, I rank first from the bottom.
 

It always takes me 5 seconds MAX before I end up having hot flushes, tears, runny nose and get soaking wet from perspiration 🙁 Even the help of ice-cold water and tissue paper is proven futile. T__T
 

 

ANYWAY

It's always funny how people are always so psyched planning their activities after exams even BEFORE exams begin. So anyways, here's a snippet of my to-do list after the academic hurdle of 2010 is over 😀
 

 

1. Zouk Out 2010 @ Sentosa, Singapore!

Tiesto, David Guetta and Afrojack, Top few DJs in the world will be partying with all of us in this 12 hour rave beach party.
 

I won't miss it for the world!
 

2. Dye back my hair red for the.. 9th time 😀

3. Meet up with my tattoo artist for another appointment

4. Holliieeee holliieee daaayyyy with the family

 

Yup yup, that's all I can manage to squeeze in before my attachment at The Star Newspaper begins 🙂 
 

For my non-Malaysian readers, it's our #1 and leading English daily! 

 

 

Just received my offer letter via fax yesterday and I just can't wait 😀 I will be joining The Star's R.AGE (youth) team by the end of next month. Say hello to day job again! I do hope it will be as challenging and interesting – if not better! – as my previous attachments 😀 Woots
 

 


 

 

So that's it. A very rare haphazard update – usually only happens when I'm busy to the core 😀
 

Okay back to revisions. Globalization and its Threat to the Nation-States and also The Rise of the Global Economy the topic for today. Bleargh. Dry. I know. And I also *honestly* don't see how it will remotely be of any relevance to my career in the future.
 

 

Trick or Treeeeat? 😀 Toodles!

Last night in Phuture @ Zouk SG will be the last time I ever party…

October 25, 2010 by thejessicat

 

(Bwahahaha hold your horses! I haven't finished my sentence yet! :P)
 

.… until my exam week ends!!!

 

I had an amazing weekend, one of the best parties I've ever been to in Zouk SG since the one with my homies during my 21st birthday party at MOIS Penang.

 

With the boyfie Josh & the buddies Ven & Cheez 🙂

Loves! Thanks fo all last nite's pix, gurl

 

Last night at Phuture @ Zouk SG was a blast! As usual, a crazy mad maniacal night with the gang there with 4 bottles of Tequila, Dewars 12, Johnnie Walker Black Label and Belvedere.

 Wont be complete if we didn't storm the dance floor with my friend, DJ Ivan's remixes! You rule the dance floor dude, as always! 😀

 

And we holy smokes! Guess what!? 😀 We've got featured on STOMP!

 


YAY to Zouk party scene!

And my party people Josh, Ven, Cheez & Ying Zi 😀

 

Nothing major, nuh-uh. But still. Woots!
 

Anyhoozers – for once – I'll let the pichas do the talking and its time to crash, after only having 2 hours of sleep the night before 😀
 

With my babe Ven.

Hurraaahhh! We all managed to get her tipsy seeing stars by the end of the night!

 

So the whole lot of us partied till the lights turned on at 4 in the morning. Dang! I guess time really passes when you're having a good time, yeah? 😉

 

With my man 🙂 The partner in crime for everything!

Mwahs

 

To end a night of booze and wild fun, maybe I should cap everything with a pretty decent & non intoxicated picture of me and my all time fave soup I had during the weekend as well.

One of the best and healthiest I've ever tasted… at Marche Movenpick among a few other outlets!

 

 

It's none other than Pumpkin Soup!

I swear by it – uh huh! No doubt about that. 😀 Apart from Potato and Leek soup, Clam Chowder soup & also Brocolli soup, Pumpin Soup rocks my dining table.

 

 I can totally vouch for that, try it for yourselves! If I ain't wrong, it only costs 7.90bucks and you can spam as much Spring Onions, Cream, Croutons & all the other condiments in it!  

 

Super noms I tell ya 😀

I've always been travelling far and wide *dramatic cue* in search of good pumpkin soup!

 

Okay, studytime 😀 😀 The finals are approaching and after that, ZoukOut fiesta with legends Tiesto and David Guetta in Sentosa, Singapore.  Woots!

Be there, or be square 😀 It's the rave of 2010 yo

 BBBbjdssfBe there or be square!
