Clashing Classes

I found out that my FTV 111 clashes with my MCI 212. So I e-mailed Mr. Rama this:


(JULY 27)
Mr Rama,

I would like to notify you that my FTV 111 (12.30 - 4.30 PM) class with you on Tuesday clashes with Mr. Mawi's MCI 212 class (2.30 - 5.00 PM). I hope that you can reschedule one of the classes to another time. Thank you.

Khairunnisa Nasir.


And he replied:


(JULY 27)
It will be impossible to re-schedule the FTV 111 lecture and re-scheduling the MCI 212 seminar will most likely cause additional time-table clashes for other students; the sessions for these two units cover 3-4 hours and are difficult to shift around.

Another option would be for you to take either one of these units in 2007: they will both be offered again in semester one, 2007. You could enrol in another Marketing unit or in an elective unit instead.

Dear Khairunnisa,

I would suggest that for semester two, 2006, you drop FTV 111 and enrol in Marketing Communications 211 instead.

You can do FTV 111 later in 2007.

Please fill in the required Enrolment Amendment form and pass it to me for signing.

Rama Venkatasawmy.

Wahhh!! I don't wantttt!! I failed my Mkt Comm last year. It's not really my fault. Can't understand a friggin' word the lecturer was saying. To be extremely frank (and mean), I think he's an idiot. I don't want to go through Goi (the lecturer) again. No no no and a thousand times NO! So I replied to Rama:


(JULY 29)
Alright. I'll drop FTV 111 and retake it next year. However, I'm not really keen on taking Mkt Comm 211 again as I have trouble understanding the lecturer. I was hoping that I'll take it when Mkt Comm has a new lecturer (or as a last resort). Can I take PR or Professional Selling 300 instead? Will pass you the Enrolment Amendment next week. Thank you, Mr Rama.

Khairunnisa Nasir.


Hmmm... I really don't want to take Mkt Comm la. So sengsara...

Unfaithful

I noticed that I blog every 5 days...

Erm... Hmmm... I don't know why.

Anyways, I was browsing through YouTube for the song Unfaithful by Rihanna. (Whee~! So many linkies. Hee. I'm in such a good mood, I guess. Rihanna is so pretty!) I found the video clip, random people 'trying' to sing the song, and even someone teaching how to play the song on piano. But what I want you guys to see is this:

Harry and Hermione (Unfaithful).

Yes, I know. Another HP thing... But you have to see it. I like this video so much because I know how much effort it must have taken the girl who made it (and also I like this song and HP. Hehe). Great editing skills. I would know. =P

Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody

Have any of you read the book mentioned above? It's a parody of the famous Harry Potter series.

The book's about Barry Trotter, obviously.. He's 22. In this book, he's to stop the movie Barry Trotter and the Inevitable Attempt to Cash-In. Forget about the Dork Lord, Lord Valumart. Barry, Ermine Cringer and Lon Measly must try to defeat the most powerful force of grasping sleazoids the world has ever known: Hollywood.

Is this parody funny? Is it worth your money? Why don't you decide. Here's an exerpt:

Quiddit, as everybody knows, is a game where wizards and witches fly around on mops trying to put a ball through a hoop. The hoop is guarded by a goalkeeper. In addition to goalies, there are Bashers, whose job is to hit things: Brainers (the very type of ball that took a core sample of Lon's bean), other players and in particular slow matches, themselves. When Bashers would hit people, their victims would invariably yell, 'Quit it!' - hence, the game's name. It's pointless, and very violent.

Finally, there are the Sic'ers, who chase a flying, sentient meat patty called a Sneetch. Whoever catches the Sneetch gets a zillion points and wins the match. This is a very stupid rule because it renders all other facets of the game meaningless; on the other hand, it is very useful from a literary standpoint, since it allows for a speedy, dramatic conclusion whenever the narration begins to drag. Barry was one of the best amateur Sic'ers ever. He loved this mindless, brutal, guts-freezingly dangerous sport.

Ermine, predictably, didn't. 'If you guys don't mind, I'll take a miss,' said Ermine. 'Kate Spade has the cutest wands on sale.'

'Kate Spade!' Barry said, aggrieved. 'You said you were poor!'

'Priorities, Barry, priorities,' Ermine said.

(Gerber 2001, p. 108-7)

There are the Earth Eaters... They were called this because Lord Valumart made them eat copiuos amounts of dirt as proof of their loyalty to him. (Gerber 2001, p. 24) There's also J.G. Rollins live-in companion, Trevor Nunnally, who thinks that the world's problems can be solved through wooden car racing.

The book is an enjoyable read. But I've read things far more funny at www.FictionAlley.org or www.FanFiction.net. Eg. Clam Chowder's The Ultimate Harry Potter Cliche Catalogue. Now that is probably one of the most hilarious thing I've read. But you gotta read a lot of fanfics to understand it though.

No time for title

I can't believe how some people can be so frigging UNBELIEVABLE. I cannot comprehend it. I'm just shocked.

Fucking ASSHOLE.

I wish you're in front of me right now. I want to bitch slap that face.

Happy?

I'm trying.

Trying to be happy. I just got back from KL. I just went for the Rainforest World Music Festival. I'm in Kuching now. I should be content.

But I'm not.

Frusttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lost my purse. I LOST MY PURSE!
I LOST MY FRIGGIN PURSE!!
Not in Miri. Not in Kl. But in my own home town. My own home town! Gah. So so mad right now. At myself for losing it. At the thief for stealing it.
All those times I went clubbing, never once I lose my purse. The time I went to the Indonesian Embassy. The time I went to Petaling Street at night. I didn't lose anything at all.
But this time! This time, it was in front of my grandparents house!
*(@*&$^^!)*^%(T%(&!$^!^%*(^%!T(
My ID card, driving licence, Maybank ATM card, student card, MAS Grads student card, name cards, money...
Imagine all the trouble I have to go through to renew everything.
Pissed, annoyed, irritated, troubled, upset, angry, regret, frustrated etc. I feel like banging my head on the wall. Gah!
But on a happier note, we were on Astro today. Channel 16 (Hitz.tv) at 3:00 PM. I missed it because I was busy being everybody's driver. So I'm hoping to catch the repeat of Top Ten Live. Check us out. Ferhad teased me of my being all British. Darn everyone of them who smiled secretly at me. I don't care. I got RM50 MPH voucher. What did you get? Exactly. So shut up. Hmph. I'm still annoyed. Stupid me losing my stupid purse. I curse thee, purse stealer!

Home Again

So I am back in Kuching. Just got back from KL last night. I am sick. Flu. I'm just thankful that I wasn't sick when I was in KL. I'll have pictures up soon about the KL trip.

So anyways, can't believe Kuching has changed. The roads are different. All those beuatiful trees chopped down. How horrified I was. But all in all, I am so glad I'm back home. I'm happy as I can be. =)
