Magazines
So I was walking around Borders the other day and decided I wanted to get a magazine. Hahaha yeah a magazine not a book. I get my books from Bobst Library now. Anyways there were about a dozen magazines that caught my eye. My usual Computer Arts and WebDesigner magazine (which are just overly price I think) and the normal weekly entertainment magazines like People and Star and all the other useless but very entertaining reads, oh and last but not least were my favorite fashion/lifestyle magazines like Vogue (which had the Audrey Hepburn like Natalie Portman, who looked absolutely gorgeous) InStyle, GQ, Jane, etc. But two magazines stood out among all the rest...the new Vanity Fair Special Edition with Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley in their birthday suits (I find it odd that Tom Ford is fully clothed when the other two girls are fully naked...but then again...it's Tom Ford) and DETAILS magazine with Patrick Dempsey on the cover. I was so torn between these two magazine it's embarrasing! LOL. Anyways I decided to get the Vanity Fair magazine after I decided that I can always read the Patrcik Dempsey article online on DETAILS Magazine's website. Which I have...Patrick Dempsey tu kan gile punye hot lah! Kire memang jejaka idaman. Dah lah handsome, dressing pun gile punye cun. Mane lah nak cari lelaki macam die hahahaha! Saje je nak tulis dalam bahasa melayu sbb nanti budak2 kat college paham susah! Hahaha

Tired
I'm so tired...I'm exhausted! Classes, assignments, relationships, life, feels so draining. I literally feel like fainting. Anyways a few updates. I got a job. So that's another thing to add to my already hectic life, but hey, the extra income will come in handy. Oh and we had a male model come by to pose for us in drawing class. I have to say, it is definitely something new to me, an experiance. Something I would never had a chance to experiance in Malaysia! LOL anyways I'm having alot of fun in that class. It's one of the classes I can just relax and not get all stressed out about assignments which I have to complete within a week or think of midterms and all that. I can just let go, and draw.
I am also currently reading Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, it's one of my ways to try to not just focus on school. Plus I haven't read a good book in awhile, at least a book that's not ITP related. I got it from the NYU Bobst Library. It's a pretty interesting read and in a way I sort of relate to the character Lee, the feeling of being an outsider, especially during my highschool years.
I will give the book a proper review once I've finished reading it, but since I'm only halfway through I'ld just like to share with you guys what the book is about:
Curtis Sittenfeld’s debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition.
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel
As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the time she’s a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted identity within the community is shattered.
Ultimately, Lee’s experiences–complicated relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush; conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.

Superbowl Sunday
So today is the much anticipated Superbowl Sunday. So like many here I am in my room with the TV tuned in to ABC, watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks game. Currently the score is Steelers 14 and Seahawks 3. Anyways, I'm not feeling too good...I sort of have the flu, bad cough, stuffy nose, headache...I'm in pain. So basically watching grown men bash each other just to get one ball to the end of the field is theraputic. Gets my mind of my own pain. It beats trying to stare at coding and getting a worst headache (which I have been trying to do for the past 3 days, with this flu).
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about. This is what Superbowl Sunday is:
What: Super Bowl XL
When: Sunday, February 5, 2006; kickoff at 6:22 p.m. EST
Where: Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The stadium, a first-time Super Bowl host, is home to the Detroit Lions and has a capacity of 65,000+; its playing surface is FieldTurf made of recalled Firestone tires
Who: The Seattle Seahawks (NFC) versus the Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC)
Who else: The Rolling Stones at halftime; Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Joss Stone at the pregame show (performing Wonder's hits); and New Orleans natives Aaron Neville and Dr. John with the national anthem
The second biggest eating day of the year (Thanksgiving is No. 1) but first in snack food consumption, Super Bowl Sunday is about more than football. It's a framework upon which to stitch together a tapestry of friends, food and fun that, with a bit of party planning, can appeal even to confirmed non-sports fans. And while it's not true that cities' sewage systems are at risk during halftime due to increased flushing or that Disneyland is all but deserted — both enduring myths — the location of choice for many Americans on Super Bowl Sunday is in front of the TV screen. In fact, Super Bowls dominate the list of all-time highest-rated telecasts, and sales of big-screen TVs increased 500% the week before the big day. Amazing eh? Part of the attraction is also the halftime and pre-game entertainment.
It's also one glorious day of the year when the entire world sits in front of their television sets and can’t wait to watch their television commercials!
Every other day we hate advertising. We grumble when the ads interrupt our favorite Desperate Housewives episode; or we quickly reach for the remote to zip pass the ads and get back to cutie Patrick Dempsey on Grey's Anatomy; or we use the time to rush to the bathroom or get a snack.
Super Bowl Sunday is the most magnificent day in all of advertising (as well as in all of sports.) It’s the day when every ad agency executive and brand manager pats themselves on the back and dreams of all the people being mesmerized by their brilliant creativity.Thus far, I have seen alot of really cool ads today. Interesting and entertaining, totally worth it, I'm actually more interested in the ads being shown than the game!
So yeah...here I am waiting for the game to end so I can watch Grey's Anatomy. The real reason my TV's tuned to ABC. But since I am following the game...I do hope the Steelers get the big ass throphy.

My Perfect Lover.
It looks like I've been tagged yet again by Am! And since I have two to do now I might as well get on with it!
The rules are as follow :-
1. The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover.
2. Need to mention the sex of the target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game n leave a comment on their comments saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged the 2nd time, there's no need to post again.
My 'perfect lover' target: Male species.
1. My perfect lover accepts me and loves me for who I am, and who I aspire to be - Anyone who can accept me and love me despite of my stubborness and all my other vices is definitely 'the one'
2. My perfect lover shares my beliefs and values – the fundamental to a strong relationship. (agrees with am on this one!)
3. My perfect lover is a bit dorky and maybe a bit of a nerd. I love the fact when a guy is a bit unsure of himself sometimes. It's adorable.
4. My perfect lover has to have the ability to make me laugh and smile when I don't feel like it. It's great to have someone there who gets me and can cheer me up even during the hardest of times.
5. My perfect lover has to have an incredible sense of humor. Someone I can just laugh with is always a turn on.
5. My perfect lover must be someone who can be my best friend – the one I can turn to, the one I can share everything with, and be myself with.
6. My perfect lover must be smart, wordly intelligent, charming, abit of a prep, a bit of a rock star, outrageous, shy,
7. My perfect lover treats me like I deserve to be treated. Of course...a girl needs to be respected.
8. My perfect lover must be someone I can watch my favorite tv show or movie with on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, or someone I can discuss the latest book I'm reading without getting bored.
Next on my list are: (Beautiful people, consider yourselves tagged!)
1. Yen

3. Nuri
4. Nutty
5. Zenty

Sia : Breathe Me
Beautiful song (Sums up what I've been feeling lately)...Amazing video!
The video is made up of 2500 Polaroid photos.
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
