Lazinest

A404, Room 1, We just declared that it is a 'Holiday Room'.

When you step into the room, you will send yourself into a stress free mode, and drift into a 'yam cha' mode or just pure laziness. It's already the 5th week. Von and I felt as though we are in our 3 months summer break. I'm so lazy this semester. I don't know why. I felt that I have lost the energy, or perhaps just pure lethargic-ness.

I skipped the management lecture 2 weeks in a row. The thought of the lecture just sends me further into dream land, as I refuse to rise from my bed. Glued to my comfort pillow. I enjoy the tutorial though, it's like a summary of important points that i need to know. Screen theories is fun so far, movies every week. What kinda course would offer such joy and fun subject? So far we have watched Casablanca, Battleship of Potemkin, Un Chien Andalou and Double Indemnity. All four are in black and white, some are film noir, some are voiceless.LOL, i think the scary part haven't kicked in yet. The part where we have to critically analyze it using screen theories for our assignment. Hmmmm...Internatonal Relations, no comment, all about conflict and conflict. Sickening. Radio and Tv, Love the practical work, sound programmes and editing. Have been skipping lecture for that subject too.

Ahh, what have gotten into me? I never really miss my classes. Am I getting tired already? Am I too occupied? Am i spending too lil' time with myself? My piano is giving me worries as well, improving in slug mode.

Better rest now. May peace be with me. May sweet dreams too, i have been having rather strange and nightmarish dreams lately. For example, i dreamt taht 6 tooth fell off my jaw, being chased (nothing new), speaking to the death, hauntings....ah..can't remember. I should keep a dream journal soon since i have such gruesome and strange dream.

The Smokey Land Day!

Today is the haziest day. I don't understand why do we have to bear with the haze annually. Don’t these people have any self-conscience in their mind besides profit and easy work? Burn, Burn, Let it Burn…Cheap way of disposing agricultural trash bits and clearing up the forest. The scorching sun and hot weather definitely encourage such kind of act. Lately, Sunway have been hit by the haze, very bad indeed. Does the Indonesian government ever bother to take action or at least teach them some better way to clear the land? This is not a political post, the haze every year is just more than i can bear anymore. It's been nearly 7-8 years or even more. We just take it in silently as though it is some annual storm that hits Malaysia and we are suppose to get use to it.

I always thought haze was nothing much. Maybe the effect does not really kick in until you start getting side effects or immediate effects from the haze. I woke up every morning with smoke smell wherever I go. My towel, my bed sheet, my fresh laundry, hair..ah you name it..It’s like you cant escape it, trapped in the box like some insect being fogged. Everywhere you go, there is the smoke. Guess what? People could still fog the area during the haze season. Hahah... I remember reading one optimistic comment about the haze "It's good that there is haze, less mosquito breeding". There have been dengue over around KL before the haze hits. So,they have been fogging the area quite often.

I was the hero of the day. I seems to see haze as nothing except for the nausea feeling that it gave me everyday. I actually travelled to KL during the worst haze reading for that day. Maybe nearly 400 for Sunway that day. Well, the stupid hero got herself slight eye irritation that day. Then, the following day, the flu kicks in. Now i finally understand the danger of haze.

Besides that, i was so geared up to jog everyday around the hostel. It was record breaking because i actually continued my regime on the second day as well. Then, on the third day, the haze kicks in! DArn! Mission failed.

Went back to Taiping to escape the haze or at least somewhere i could finally smell fresh air again. Somehow, the haze followed me back.

Well, That's all for my haze story!
