1. UM should really put up bigger signboards. i cant read them small letters while driving because they are too small to see.
2. to avoid lazy eye syndrome one should paste the good eye with tissues or something and force the weak eye to learn to see again. i learned this from an eye specialist, mind you.
3. an interesting meeting with an ustaz in ijok. he went to libya and his wife was in sumatera. he was chuckling when he said he only saw his wife right before akad nikah. his wife quipped, if it's meant to be, akan berjumpalah di kawah.
4. sunday concert
j. haydn - symphony in d #93
- very clean and crisp, something modern musicians hate and dismissed them as boring. but i find it cute and cheerful, especially movements 3 and 4. for that reason too i will always take mozart as my hero.
k. szymanowski - symphony #4 op. 60 "sinfonia concertante"
- with 6 double basses you really can bring down the house. or invite hurricane katrina.
w. lutoslawski - symphony #3
- the conductor kevin field warned the audience that the music was going to sound strange. indeed it was. at times i thought i heard pontianaks wailing. it was like he was trying out each instrument and push it. it has far too many rests for a symphony. i was trying to look out for harmony and couldnt place where it was.
anyone with any self respect shouldn't have to watch jude law acting. nowadays movies are all about unhappiness, it cant be that obvious can it? are we that unhappy that we have to see unhappy people on tv? with regards to jude law, which is why i like closer (2004) where he got bitch-slapped big time by clive owen.
6. ukm could really use something to change that attitude. i waited for an hour at the science and technology dept only to be chased away by the most masam muka kerani who was annoyed when i asked whom could i see for the petroelum geology course. the guy, or rather, professor, wasn't even there. and i forgot this country is malaysia, so when someone isnt it, then nobody else in the world can help me out. i strolled for a reason when i saw the notice board, there were only 5 masters students for petroleum geology. no wonder.
