BLACK CAT and EDGAR ELLEN POE

this picture shows Edgar Ellen Poe to be one with the cat. i really think this is one of the best posters available for this short story. when i look at this poster, i could easily link it to the story. maybe it talks about the relationship the main character had or has with his cat, Pluto. The whole story revolves around the main charater and the black cat. Every event that took place in this story also involves how the narrator felt about the cat. And since the narraton is not named in this story, it is easy to assume or even imagine Edgar himself to be the narrator.

This poster looks very interesting to me bacause you can clearly say that it is not of this era. And to see the poster in a different point of view ( of the older generation) is also gaining a different perspective of the story.

Edgar Ellen Poe!!! i like this picture because he actually looks nice in this. Haha :P

Mysterious.... Gloomy...This poster gives me the chills...

The best artistic version of "the black cat" so far.

THE BLACK CAT

It really suprises me how such a simple title could carry such a gloomy and mysterious effect. these are the things that came to my mind when i first heard the title :)

1 - Black cat??? Why cat???? Why black????

2-Errr..... Who wrote it ah???

3- Wah.... so mysterious. Is the cat evil???

4- Cat??? why not dog..? Or cow?? or bird??

But i think Edgar Ellen Poe really did a good job in choosing the title. So simple yet mysterious. The story IS about a black cat, and if Poe's intention IS to make us think of his work when we see a black cat, well...... i think it worked :)

THE CHOCOLATE DILEMMA

Why are women linked to chocolate? And flowers and cute teddy bears? And SHOPPING!! Seriously! ? Is it wrong for women to like something else for that matter? Maybe... Hmmm… Video games, red color, ugly teddy bears? Is that not feminine? Would that make a woman any less a woman? No, seriously guys… Why must a girl like pink? And if she says she doesn’t, they will go “but u are a girl! You must like Pink, chocolate, flowers and cute teddy bears!!” Why can’t a guy wear pink?? I think it looks good on them! Why are these things linked to women? Are women thought to like these things, or they learn to like it? Or is it something that a woman must like to be accepted as a woman?? Is it like a “must”? Or is it a label that the world put on women? Or they are just born with such same interest? Hmmm… This post is not for women that likes chocolates, flowers and cute teddy bears! This post is for those who THINKS that is all a woman is about, and that is what a woman should be! DON’T DARE TO TELL A WOMAN WHO SHE IS AND WHO SHE SHOULD BECOME!! SHE IS ALLOWED TO LIKE WHAT SHE LIKES, AND THERE IS NO WRONG IN THAT!! But seriously speaking, I like chocolate, flowers; I like certain pink and cute teddy bears. I only differ in certain things... Like the shopping part. And oh yea… I love pc games: P My point is… LET THEM BE WHAT THEY WANT… WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES (IN A DECENT WAY, NOT BREAKING THE LAW WAY (NATION AND NATURE) OF COURSE)… LET THEM LIVE OUT THEIR WOMENHOOD WITH DIGNITY!! WITH PRIDE!!! Be proud of them! It is time for women to create a new identity! NO more just about chocolates, flowers and cute teddy bears! Women should be seen not heard? What the heck?? I think women should be seen AND heard!! Come on WOMEN!! DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!!!

ME, READING AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN2

What happen to me? What happened to my number one passion? Why don’t I like reading like before? Well, these are the questions that I ask myself nowadays whenever I come across an interesting book. Those days I was a bookworm! I always have something to read in my hands! Story books, novels, cooking book, magazines, comics, catalogs, news paper!!! You name it! I read everything!!! Doraemon series are my favourite!! Until now! Hehe.. Im actually quiet thankful I didn’t turn out a nerd. Truth to be told, I don’t think we have real geeks and nerds in Malaysia. The studious type we have, but not nerds and geeks. Maybe those who rather study in their rooms than going out having fun, yea.. We have alot of them! but geeks and nerds? Naah! But I remember taking few facebook quizzes regarding my personality, and 3 of them actually “confirmed” that I’m a nerd! What the heck???? Seriously!! 3 different quizzes gave me the same answer! Then I actually doubted myself for awhile… Maybe I am a nerd…But I just never realized it.. Haha… But please la... I don’t think I am... Hmmmm. I wonder what happened to me that I don’t like reading anymore. I’m just thinking. I am trying to relate any unpleasant experiences I had with reading… Maybe something traumatizing happened in the past while I was reading that caused me to never like reading again? … Hmm… Maybe a book tried to eat me once? Or, I got sucked into the book and came out alive after being stuck there for few years? Or maybe, a robber hold a gun to my head and shouted, READ!!! Or I’LL KILL YOU!!! I’m just wondering!

Coming back to reading, i have this cousin who looooooveeeeeeees reading! Her name is Yegnese (for publicity reasons) Hehe.. Well, these girl have read half of the novels in University Malaya library ( I think). She brings back all kinda boring books and novels to my house (to read of course). And she tells me about the books she read! I actually find it very interesting! Then I wondered, have I been missing a lot since I don’t read novels that often anymore? Ehemm… more like, I don’t read anymore (ever ever)? So, right after that so called “eye opening” experience, I was actually determined to read a novel! Who knows if that would actually get me back in the right track and I might love reading again!! Then I grabbed one of Yegnese’s book. Something to do with murder. A true story. I don’t remember the title. Something about a man who killed his whole family… hmmm… I seriously can’t remember the title. I read a few pages, flipped here and there, can’t remember how long I was reading that book but eventually, I can’t take it anymore! It was so sick and…….. Gosh! I remember staring at the guy’s picture (the murderer) and i felt so sick! Some of the victim pictures were there too. I said a short prayer in my heart for them and slowly slided into my emo mood. That was it. I stopped reading and never went back. In other words, I blame Yegnese for blowing off the little spark of passion for reading that was in my heart! What was she thinking bringing that kinda book into the house?? Hehe… just kidding :p.

After many many months, I was again determined to get a novel to read. I remember clearly, it was a Sunday. Right after church, I rushed to MPH bookstore and grabbed a novel. I was so determined to read, I thought nothing could stop me! Not even Tom Welling calling me out for a date!! Hehe.. Who am I kidding =P. Well, I looked through the novel… hmmm… sounds boring... Grabbed another one! Hmmm…Lagi boring! Peeked into another?? Hmmmm… I wana sleep!!!!! That’s it….! I went to the Malaysian politic corner and grabbed a book. Then I spent 40 minutes just standing there reading that book! Gosh! Seriously Steph?? Malaysian politics over novels?? I’m so LAMEEEE! Since when I became such a boring person? I don’t know!!! I remember that I always kena peril by Yegnese for reading facts book and encyclopedias.. I love history books! I love kid’s story books! I love science books! I love poetry!! I love interesting facts book!! My dad bought one the other day and I can’t stop reading!!! It’s so awesome! Did you know that karate is originated in India but developed in China? Did you know that Cleopatra is Greek and not Egyptian? Did you know that Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissor and he can write and draw at the same time using both his hands? To me those are interesting facts! Those are amazing books! I rather spend my time gaining knowledge then just having fun reading! Hmmm.. Eerr.. Just realized something... Maybe I am a nerd. No normal people would make such statement! Gosh… That’s it! I’m a nerd who doesn’t know that she is a nerd! :P When I think further about it, there is nothing wrong with being a nerd what… Hmmm… IM NOT A NERD LAAAA!! END OF STORY!!! FULLSTOP!!!!!!!!!! Don’t try to confuse me STEPH!!!!

A TRAGIC "FRIENDSHIP" STORY...

Have not been blogging for awhile... Haha... just being lazy... many things happened since the last time i blogged. Good and bad... Maybe the most significant thing is loosing my so called "best friend". Dont ask what happened.. :( Its a tragic "friendship" story.. haha. Honesty it really hurts. Its just disapointing when you realize da person that you claim to know so much about is such a fake person. And this one thing he did just made me wonder over and over again if anything that he did before is true and sincere.

Hmmm... I am not a judgemental person, nor am i perfect. I would notdiscriminate a person even if he or she would have talked bad behind my back. But what hurt me most in this matter is the fact that he was wearing an innocent mask infront of me the entire time, and behind my back he was this whole different person... He was just plastic, fake and ugly. I forgave him once, but he dissapointed me again. I tried over looking this situation, but he kept on repeating the same mistake over and over again until i decided to just let go. I dont usually quit on my friends, but the problem is, he dont seem to see what he did was a mistake at all!

I hate it the most when a person hides behind their "religious" mask and act all holy infront the others but in reality they are just fakers. Please be fake all you want, but never hide under the mask of religion! Dont act asthough you love GOD so much when u clearly dont! Dont call yourself a christian when you clearly dont know what does it mean to be one! Im not saying that im a perfect person. I do screw up, but atleast i am who i am and i dont act or potray myself as someone im not! And do you know what is the most interesting part about this "break up" is? HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW THAT I KNOW!!!! Haha. He continues acting all holy infront of me, but in reality i know who he is behind that sweet looking mask. Well you might say, give him a chance...Let him explain himself... Hmmmm.... Yup, i will.... As soon as sem re-opens, he GOT a TONS on explaining to do!!!!!

He betrayed the trust i have on him, he broke my heart and dissapointed my friends that accepted him as one of us eventhough clearly, he was not. I have forgaven him for what he did, but i am not going to just let go and let him live his life that way because i care too much to see him fall into the unforgaving pit of sin. For GOD sake, im going to still love him and care because i know Jesus would want me to do that. I just pray for strength and hope i would not get hurt again. JESUS, I WILL DO THIS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME EVENTHOUGH IM NOT DESERVING OF YOUR UNDIVIDED LOVE.. If Jesus decided to just quit on me everytime i screw up, I wouldnt have experianced His amazing love and grace. I am who I am because JESUS LOVES ME...

Well, this post is just to LET OUT what i have inside.. Not to critisize him or make him look bad.. Would have written his name, address and phone number here if that is my intention.. ;) But of course im just human. I believe that the outcome of a problem solving lies on how the problem is approached in the first place. I pray that GOD will grant me windom... ALL GLORY TO GOD ALONE!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Crazy people in UPM!!!

What does Uni students like us do best?? Learning? Reading? memorizing stuff? Hmmmmm......
A typical Uni student might be good in all that. But me and my crazy bunch of friends are NOT typical!! Of coz we do all of that too. BUT we do more than just that!!!! We love taking weird pictures AROUND UPM!!!!! But seriously, to me its important to have fun. Just chill out with friends, go shopping, catch a movie togather. What is wrong with that? As long u know your limit, and you don't go across that limit, everything would be just fine. Don't ever forget that whatever we do comes with a consequence. And if u are not willing to pay the price, DONT DO IT!!!!! This pics were taken after class when all of us were on our way to the CIMB bank! who knew withdrawing money could be a joyful event! Haha... My three crazy friends /coursemates / blockmates/ classmates are Francesca Elizabeth Madu A.K. A.Meling, Jesnestcia Febronia Gimbad and Pamela Ann Francis Xavier!
