Like seriously i have been super lazy already to do the 30days challenge. So penyapu baru, masa mula2 bukan main excited lagi :P
So anyway, lets continue with Day 24. A letter to mummy dearest. I'm not good at writing letters la :/
Dear Mummy,
I remember hearing stories from everyone about how i use to be such an annoying kid when i was small :P I've been told that i used to cry all the time for no reason and was super2 mischievous. Despite me being such a pain, you have taken care of me so well and showered me with so much of love and care. I remember you being my biggest supporter during all my story telling contests. U never showed, but i could see how proud you were with me when i used to win. You've always encouraged me to follow my dreams and my passion. You've been there with me through all.. Being my pillar of support during my relationships, my break-ups.. Giving me motivation not to give up when i lost certain competitions. I remember when i had the virus attack during SPM.. You were the one who took care of me in the hospital when i was unable to walk. You cooked for me everyday, and fed me.. I wouldn't have made it without you mummy. When I got bad results for Semester 2, i remember calling you and crying like a baby, expecting you to scold me for my bad results. Instead, you comforted me and told me to try harder next time and that it was okay. I'll never forget that mummy. During MAYA dance competition, you came all the way to see me dance, even though i knew you dislike going to noisy places. And you told me that you know i will win, that gave me a lot of confidence :) I can never finish writing about all the sacrifices you have made for me throughout these 21 years.. All i can say is, God certainly gave me the best mother. I really like the fact that i can talk about absolutely everything to you- you are open minded and you are like a best friend :) Thanks mummy for everything.. I know i can never repay what you have done for me, all i can do is try my best to make you proud of me and make you the happiest mummy in the world. Love you so much mummy jaan!!

Turning 21
Will be turning 21 in a couple of days :)
Being 21 is not all about celebrating, it's about finally realizing that -hey, you are big enough now. so no more excuses- . yes, big enough. finally :p
I decided that this Friday is going to turning point in my life. I shall give no more excuses to myself, no more procrastination. I've set a few goals for myself, goals that i deem achievable.
1. The first thing I plan to do when i turn 21 is register myself as a voter. For me this has to be the best thing about turning 21, i can finally have a say in the elections :) What about you friends? Have you guys registered as voters? It's of no use complaining about the political situation or happenings in our country if you don't take the step to initiate change ;)
2.Degree. Kalau tak ada aral, i shall be starting my degree latest by June next year. LLB at Brickfields Asia. I've been actually going very easy on my studies since last time, masa SPM pun lepak je, Diploma lagi la lepak.. Thank God results for both were okay. For Degree i nak dapat First Class Honors, and kalau boleh..harap2 dapat la jadi top student. Hard, but not impossible :)
3.SPCA. I've been delaying this for a very2 long time. Since i was little, i always wanted to be a volunteer at SPCA. Help the animals and all, more so since now i cannot keep any pets (stupid condo rules, haish). This would be very2 emotionally fulfilling for me :) Isn't it the best thing ever to be able to help animals? :)
4.Learn driving :p This one is overdue since 2006. Supposed to take my license after SPM but got delayed because i was admitted to the hospital and then we shifted to KL. Mum would be so glad if i start driving around, cuz she hates driving in KL. KL traffic gives her stress it seems :P
5. Gym!! Yoga keeps me healthy but i need to go back to the gym again, my stamina is down the drain :( Shall try to go gym at least 2 hours/week. Oh, and I'm thinking of participating in a marathon, have to work on my stamina and all for that.
6. I wanna visit the Golden Temple next year. Hopefully, this wish will come true.
All these are dreams for now, but hopefully with the right attitude and determination, i will manage to do it :)

Diwali 2010
Fond memories of Diwali used to be the family gatherings at grandma and grandpa's place in Batu Pahat, all of us will gather there, makan2, chit chat and everything. Things changed after Sarjit Mama and Maa passed away, Batu Pahat is never the same. Just don't feel like home anymore :(
So anyway, this year didn't really celebrate Diwali. Went to Capsquare on Diwali eve to watch Golmaal 3, turns out that it's releasing on Diwali day only. So we went to Brem Mall to watch You,again. Okay la the movie, substance wise it's nothing to shout about but quite entertaining. On Diwali day we went to mum's sister's place, lepak-ed there until nite. Was nice meeting family members and catching up ;) Finally wen to watch Golmaal yesterday at Brem Mall :) Movie was AWESOME!! This has to be one of the funniest comedy ever! i was laughing like crazy in the cinema. Well actually i'm even laughing now while writing this post :p
I think it's the comedy season now in Bollywood kot? Golmaal just released, Action Replay pun baru release, next we have No Problem and Tees Maar Khan. I'm so looking forward to Tees Maar Khan :) But i seriously recommend Golmaal 3 to everyone, even for those who can't understand hindi.. The subtitles are very precise, and actually even without the subtitles you gonna laugh like crazy.. it is THAT funny!!

Biased Judgement?
Unfortunately (or rather fortunately), i wasn't able to make it to MAYA inter-varsity dance competition 2010 which was held in Limkokwing University last Saturday.
Was informed by Tharani at 11something that night that results were out.
1st-Limkokwing University, 2nd-APIIT University, 3rd-Masterskill.
I was like damn, 2nd runners up?? Hmmm..sad but i guess maybe the other two teams did better. I mean the judges should know best (expecting credible panel of judges like last year when we had Venkat Prabhu and Linda Jasmine etc)
All was well..UNTIL the dance videos came up on Youtube.
I saw all the team's performance. I liked Masterskill, HELP and APIIT the best. I have nothing to comment about Limkokwing's winning performance as i believe all teams have put a lot of hard work for their dance.
What i super tak puas hati about is the judgement, like come on lah, it's freaking obvious there probably has been some hanky panky going on there. Speaking from a very unbiased point of view. I'm not saying that Masterskill should win or whatever but the whole results was rather unsatisfactory. If i were the only one complaining about biased judging, then maybe the problem has to be with me.. But i'm not the only one here, i know of people even from Limkokwing complaining about the judgement.
There have been a few individuals who gave feedback about this in a very civilized manner on MAYA 2010's official Facebook page. Unfortunately, all negative comments were promptly deleted. Why?
I know how much of effort it takes to train for a stage performance like this, the amount of energy, sweat and tears it takes to put up a great dance performance. Trust me when i say. it's not easy. Dancing is not all about gelek sini gelek sana, jump here jump there. It's much much more than that. There are 1001 things to think about. Costume, make up, steps, synchronization, formation, energy, facial expressions, body movement, stunts, suitable song etc.
When a team, any team puts in so much of effort, and do not get the expected results, i know how it feels. I believe even though participating teams obviously wanted to win the 1st place, what matters most for all the teams is that at the end of the day, there should be fair judging and the team that performed best should win.
I believe the organizers have put in so much effort to put up a show as huge as this. And that deserves a lot of praise. But why let something like this tarnish the organizer's credibility? Instead of saying how good the show was, people were commenting on how unfair they feel the judging was. That basically just ruined the whole event in my opinion. I personally know about a few teams who have lost faith in the credibility of the event and judgment, and are having serious doubts on whether to participate or not for MAYA 2011. This will be a big blow to the event, losing participation from good dance teams.
I'm not writing to kutuk anyone, just venting out my frustration on how the organizers can let such things happen in such a big event. This have indirectly given a bad name to Limkokwing, which shouldn't have happened considering the fact that it's a very reputable institution.
p/s- i am not writing this because I'm an ex-Masterskill student or because i participated in Maya 2009. I'm speaking from a normal person's point of view. Please take note.
