Vote for CCP! Curtin Communist Party~

The air was thick with politics today. Apparently there’s this campaign going on with two groups - CSU and CUSP duking it out for the seats in the student council. Zack from the dominant group (CUSP) made a pre-emptive strike by sitting down amongst us (the media group) during lunch and trying to convince us that their group will perform if elected, mainly by attacking the intentions of the opposing party and their credibility.

I wouldn’t say that he was lying or anything, Zack is a cool guy regardless. However, given the fact that CUSP has supposedly run the student council for several semesters past - and seeing that Curtin remains in its sorry state, I would personally give my vote to the emergent group - CSU.

According to Zack, CSU has made lots of claims that are unfeasible - and that they have no experience and whatnot, but personally, I would make a bet and hope to see change. After all, if they pull it off - I can only see improvement to the campus environment. If they don’t, we’ll just re-elect CUSP the following semester. Nothing much to be lost, but lots to be gained. I just hope that others think likewise.

And with a council leader bearing the name DK, who can resist the temptation to vote?

With all the politics going around today, it seriously annoyed me. You can sense the hosility in people’s eyes while they sat down and blatantly intimidated members of the opposing party through eye contact, while they were promoting their party.

Well, whatever. Come next sem, we will have a new political party - CCP, the Curtin Communist Party. Do vote for us. After all, it’s not like you have a choice.

Happy B’day Woobee~

Okay, I’ve been rather negligent in blogging nowadays. And with Final Fantasy XII, this can only get worse. Not to mention the recent release of Bleach: Blade Battlers and the upcoming release of Battlefield 2142. My life can only go down the drain yet again. What can I say… I’m a gamer at heart.

Anyway, the point of today’s post is not about my life, or rather, my lack of it. It’a about Woobee, and her birthday party~

We had the party at Dave’s Deli in Imperial Mall last Friday. That’s Friday the 13th for you lesser mortals out there. No hockey mask bearing individuals appeared though. Ah well. Anyway, this post will be a photo megapost - so 56k no. :P

Group photo~

Anyway, here’s the group photo we all posed for. The guy who took this photo had shaky hands so it came out rather blurred… Ah well. If he had my ninja hands, the results would’ve been much better.

Woobee and her cake~

Woobee and her cake of fire. Apparently shooting in dark setting is not good. (Yes, the lights were off, even if you can’t see from the photo)

Woobee and her presents~

Oh, here’s a photo of Woobee and her presents - A nice moomoocowmoo (Barber 2006) and marshmellows. We never did put those marshmellows onto the cake. Ah well.

Woobee's cake~

A closeup photo of Woobee’s birthday cake. Yum.

Woobee and me~

Here’s a photo of Woobee and me with the Ultimate Poser Cute Poseâ„¢~ ^_^ Note that I was looking at another direction. There were multiple cameras shooting. Should’ve looked into my camera. T-T

Woobee and Tish~

Here’s a photo of Woobee and Tish. Whee~

Chillin at Desserts~

So after the party, we went to Desserts to chill for a bit.

Yucks. Crap espresso...

…and I ordered the suckiest espresso in the world. It tasted like kopi o - with extra water. Yucks.

Woobee with horns~

Here’s Woobee having more fun with the party hats. Samseng, this.

Kroll with... Headlights and battering ram. Wtf.

…and that led to something that I feel was not exactly quite child-safe. Ada ke kinky~?

And that was it… Scott sent us all home, after everyone went a little too emo for our own good at Desserts. Kroll was talking about his past experiences with girls, making most of us feel sorry for ourselves… T-T

Talking about the past isn’t exactly the most upbeat of activities. Emo trigger it be called. Ah well.

And to conclude the post, I would like the make a bold statement about cars - How fast a car is depends not on the engine, nor the suspension, nor the tyres. It’s the cup-holder by the driver seat. I want the ultimate poser car - the Toyota Corolla AE86 Trueno. ^_^

Mana kan lesen L ku? Cibai IMMS.

I Love Tom Yam Fishball

Seperti kianbung membeli fishball
- membuat sesuatu tetapi mempunyai niat yang lain

contoh:
Kroll berpura-pura pergi ke CDS membeli minuman tetepi sebenarnya dia seperti kianbung membeli fishball.

Curtin Sunset Carnival ended a few hours ago, and it rocked and sucked at the same time. The sucky thing is that someone else took the much-coveted PSP from its destined owner - me. Same thing happened to the iPod Nano and ten million other random vouchers (which I didn’t want anyway). It’s a lucky draw, after all. But I do believe in dumb luck. And some people have too much dumb luck. Not ngam man. Just look at the new owner of that nice shiny PSP - a girl that doesn’t look like the gamer type. Cibai. To think I camped out there since 4pm hoping to get lucky.

The rest of the carnival was pretty tolerable. If not for the fact that there were certain things like the Best Tom Yam Fishball in The Worldâ„¢, the carnival would’ve sucked badly. It was an exotic cuisine fit for a Godâ„¢. The harmonious wedding of both Chinese and Thai cuisine, served by one with traits similar to an essential part of Japanese culture. A cocktail of cultures in a single stall just by the cafeteria. It was sheer perfection with no equal. Yay for metaphors and contextual references. Ada ke proud.

Besides that, I would review the carnival in negative light. As we all come to expect, the climate in Malaysia is too hot and humid to be tolerable. Just fifteen minutes of walking around and we were already soaked in sweat (normal sweat, not Kynan type). Yucks. Furthermore, there was almost nothing but food, and besides the aforementioned fishball, Lu Jee’s pudding (must mention, else kena samseng later) and, I must admit, hot dog from the Noizy Minority booth, there was nothing worth putting into my mouth. Or rather, there was nothing that I would risk putting into my mouth. I don’t know, but buying drinks from a Chemical Society booth doesn’t seem to be the brightest of ideas.

There was a Ghost House (I know, it sounds stupid, but that’s what they called it) in the G2 building, but it cost RM6 to enter, and Wei Soon told me that it was more of a comedy show than a horror exhibit, so it was out of consideration. However, it is arguable that Wei Soon may have entered the wrong building to say that it was comedy. Lol for more contextual references.

The games were rather lame and the prizes were not worth the effort in getting them. Plus the fact that some games are near-impossible to win - the pingpong bounce game and the paper airplane launch game come to mind. The dunk game was too mini to make it interesting, and when most of the people you get to dunk are guys and not-hot girls in dark, thick clothing, you wouldn’t even consider playing.

One notable positive was Rubee’s cousin singing Evanescence’s Bring Me to Life. That girl seriously has a voice coveted by singers. But then the guitar dude spoils it when he yells “Wake me up!” in a rather disinterested voice. Spoil terus. What to do? Most other singers performing prior to her (Rubee’s cuz) were crap. I am still unable to forgive the one who horribly mutilated System of a Down’s Chop Suey with his whiny crap over-loud scream. He made the song unbearable to listen to. Bad, him. Boo.

Furthermore, we have eww whoring out posters and trying to advertise pseudo-anime caricature that is highly inferior to my own sibling’s. But of course, being within my own bloodline, one can expect no less from my sibling. Anyway, the Otaku Club (they defile the name of otaku~) has a lot to learn about PR. Next time, at least put someone (or something) that less people will avoid on sight. The aforementioned fishball stall would be an excellent example of good understanding of PR.

To add to that, we have an O2Mania booth there to challenge all O2Jam gods. We saw lameassâ„¢ trying to act pro with his ’skills’. I’m sure it wasn’t misses that I saw. I’m pretty sure. Poser berhabis man. >.< Even so, there were some with godlike skills, bashing away at the keyboard with near-godlike speed. Keyword: Near. They lucky I didn’t join. With my ninja speed, I would sweep their highscores under the carpet. Even without practicing. Sad, those mortals - wasting their time in something stupid like this. (Here’s a good example of ’seperti Adam menghina Michelle’)

Yes, I do realise that I haven’t covered what else happened for the rest of the week prior to the carnival, but I’m bored from typing. I’m stopping now.

It is rather regrettable that I neglected to bring my camera. I would have taken lots of Magic the Gathering photos. Again with the contextual references. Wtf man~
