let the wild run beserk

*Mood lagu Blister in The Sun*

Hmmm… there’s nothing much going around lately. Exams in 2 days, and then I’m leaving this place for good. Although I do have doubts about doing Electrical Engineering January next year, I’ll just see how it goes. I mean, live ain’t gonna end if I take something that ain’t much to my liking. I’d prefer Social Sciences for now. But inventing things are a must, because it would be a waste of a talent not to. So yeah, after that degree I’d be taking something else like City Development or Economics or Psychology, or Critical Thinking. But that’s in the future. Let’s not think about it yet.

Let’s go to the near future things I’m mapping out the things I would do during the holidays. Better start planning now because I know, by the time I reach home, I’d be too lazy to think about it. There are about dozens of people I need to meet; to give presents to, to return stuff to, and promises to fulfill to. It’s tiresome, but ah well, I guess it doesn’t matter.

Places

About places to go, this December I’m definitely going to Comic Fiesta and PC Fair. Geeky stuff. I’m not bothered to go to other places that ain’t gonna be interesting enough. About those artsy Malaysian Literature scene, I don’t think I’ll go. I’m not into watching people reciting poetry and such. But I’ll think about it. Other than that, the usual places. Need to save up money ma~ perhaps I’ll wind up in Kelantan since someone mentioned about going hiking and jungle trekking at her backyard.

Cinema

Hmm… as planned and anticipated, I’ll be watching Where The Wild Things Are (haven’t seen the ads in papers yet… sial GSC pergi tayang la weh), and Astroboy. Maybe 2012, but I think that’ll be full of cinematics effects rather than a concrete storyline. Ah well, the world won’t end in 2012. Maybe there’s Muallaf to watch, but I’d rather buy a DVD. Four movies would be enough. Need to save money.

Reading

Hopefully I’ll be refraining myself from playing too much internet, by reading on a a few subjects and a few novels. I’ll try finishing Hamlet, Ulysses, and re-read House of Leaves. Also need to find and order The Possesed, The Stranger and Kassim Ahmad’s works. I”ll also tell dad to order a modern English translation of The Quran by some dude by the name of Rashad Khalifa. I’ll tell you about him later.

There’s not much to read in my list, so I’m open to suggestions. Though at the present moment, I’m all into all those lost ancient civilizations, critical thinking and I don’t know, the brain I guess. These and some other random things. So tell me something to read about. I guess I need to read more non-fictional stuff.

Side-Projects

• Egh, I need to teach both my brother and sister Maths, because apparently they ain’t as smart as the “first generation” siblings, or so says my mom. Need I to mention my sister broke the family tradition of NOT getting 5As for her UPSR?
• Apart from that, I think I’ll try playing the piano at Leana’s house. Pot aku mahu try main lagu ini.
• Write a few stories. At least one in Malay.
• Complete The Last Remnant game. No need to collect annoyingly ridiculous items and parts to make weapons. Just finish it.
• Go buy stuff to “beautify” and make my room appear “cool”. Paint la.
• Repair for good my (broken) Samsung YP-P2, dad’s MP3, and change this laptop’s OS from Linux to Windows7.
• Try to find some part-time job like translating stuff, or checking essays, or tuitions…. I don’t know. I need the money.
• Oh yeah, car license. How could I forget?

That’s enough for a month break. Too much, exactly. Ah well, plans are plans. We make plans for good times, get bogged down, distracted. And I, easily am distracted. Proof: I’m writing this instead of studying for finals.

Okay, I should stop.
