8th Festival Filem & Video Pelajar Malaysia 2011

Before I head on with the post I would like to apologize for the lack of posts. I've been busy with the upcoming event *winkwink* and other stuff that kept on minggling around like I have no other work.

It's almost a week since I got back form Sintok, Kedah for Festival Filem & Video Pelajar Malaysia. To set the record straight, my group didn't win  but other nominees from my university did win the Best Documentary :D

My group and I consisting of 11 people (only 9 went though) traveled with 2 other groups nominated for the festival from Melaka to Kedah.

Other nominees are 'Waving Flag' and 'Melatah: The Documentary'.

We departed from our campus at 2 30pm and reached Sintok at arnd 12am. Oh mai GOD! It was an uber long journey! Everyone complained the bus was going too slow but when I think back it's good to be safe than to rush. So I just decided to endure the journey.

Thank God we had a couple of stops to empty our tank and fill in our stomach :D

I'm slightly held up with work now so let the pictures do the talking :p

This is Safuan (aka Safwang) our entertainer. His group didn't make it to the finals as something happened but we were glad he came along. He can make you crack a million times without stopping :D

Yours truly :D

Dhiya and Safwang telling us about some safety stuff stewards do in the airplane :p

This was breakfast time. Safwang looks uber cute with the ribbon :D

Final products of nominated productions. Spot ours ;)

Posters from different productions

This one definitely caught my eyes :D Seriously, it's a creative production to make something about toilet holes :p

Paper bag for the nominees :D

We were at Padang Besar on the second day of our trip. Padang Besar is at the border of Kedah and Thailand. We didn't bring our passport thought :(

Here we ate at the nearby stalls. The Somtam (papaya salad) is super awesome. OMG craving for it now :S

Pnut and Safwang. Don't they look really cute together with matching coloured t shirts? :D (cue: awwwwwwwwwww......) Haha!

The Xperia in the picture belongs to Afiq and the product in the photo is not sponsored by any brands mentioned. Cheh cheh, have to tell :p

Laksa Kuala Perlis. It tastes typical, and sorry to tell you it doesn't boast anything special. A good try though.

Anyways, I had Nasi Goreng Kampung! :D They didn't have enough ikan bilis though but it was nice and spicy just the way I like it to be :D

At night we head out to Jeti Kuala Perlis. The university did not provide us with any place to eat but thankfully they did provide us with the food.

All of us didn't want to go back to our rooms hence the trip to Kuala Perlis.

Ekin liked this picture so much so I put this up specially for her :D 

Keep your eyes to the person with the brown baju melayu in the next two pictures ;)

Suke menyebok-nyebok orang lain punye gambar eh? :p

The third day the university did not provide us with any breakfast! I am still pissed at that since they were the host, they should be responsible for all things there. 

Our accompanying lecturers decided to bring us out to the 'town'. They had a mall with karaoke and bowling. After our lunch we had an awesome time singing our hearts out before the nerve comes in for the night.

Safwang really sing his heart out! Look at the second picture :p

The award night. Our group with accompanying lecturers. Spot me!

The award is in this huge hall. See how many seats they have???

O.O

The emcees for red carpet. They are really small and short! I thought the VIPs are really tall but nay.

Take picture here, take picture there suddenly the hall was packed!

Shanaz. Why haven't I seen him before? O.o

Super handsome lor!

*drools*

Last group photo before the night ends and we head home the next day :)

All in all it was a fun trip. I need to comment on the management of the university that we had trouble finding where they put their food.

This is just a short post. I shall entertain you with more! :D

This Is My Future OK!

I am back from Kedah!

It was an interesting trip but the journey was so long (the bus driver made it longer -____-) I feel like sleeping the whole day.

During the journey to Kedah, I got to know one of my friend, Ashman Mahfudz, the Head Project for our event was pranked by the Hitz.fm DJs in the 'Gotcha!' call!

The DJ's used the 'cancellation of the venue' as the reason to kena kan Ash.

Click here to listen :D

'THIS IS MY FUTURE OKAY!!!!'

Haha!

I'm bursting out laughing! Razaleigh, you really got Ash :D It was kind of mean but when you look back in the future you'll definitely have a big laugh!

I will post my trip to UUM Sintok, Kedah soon :)

For now, I have to study for my Translation mid semester exam :S

Awan Yang Terpilu

I am going away for trip to Kedah! To Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) in Sintok to be specific.

:D

I'm only going there because the video clip my group made for last semester's assignment is nominated for 'Best Video Clip' category for the Festival Filem dan Video Pelajar Malaysia (FFVPM). But still, it's just another reason to go away for a trip before my diploma ends :p

I'm so excited since I've never been there and I really don't know what to expect! So I googled the place first.

My eyes went this big when I saw the map,

O.O

I'm going to 'A' :)

Can you see how close it is to Thailand?! The first thought that came to my mind was 'The journey would take a freaking day on bus!'

T_____________________T

Oh yea, we're going on a UiTM bus since we are representing UiTM and will be staying in the UUM campus.

After realising it's going to be a long journey and the possibility of not having anything to do there since it's way in the 'ulu', I googled car rental companies, ferry rides to Langkawi (Langkawi is quite near to the place I'm going and hopefully we'll get to go there :D) and things to do in Kedah.

I'm such a big freak aren't I?

:p

The journey is about 4 days. We will depart (cheh, bunyi macam naik airplane je :p) Thursday (today) at 2pm and we will head back to Melaka on Sunday (time to be announced).

Now, my suitcase looks like I'm going to a 2-weeks trip! I don't know what to wear there so I just bought anything related to holiday clothes. Though there will be the award night and the theme is 'smart casual' (thank you for giving an easy theme).

I don't know what to wear for that :S

Maybe I'll just shop over there and see what's nice :p

Borrowed Manul's (will tell you about him later) iPod for the trip and charging it :D

Pray I'll be in a safe trip!

I'm Out!

XD

Hopefully I'll get a good house and near the campus.

Just A Quick Post Without Pictures

Yesterday was AWESOME!

No, no..

It was BEYOND AWESOME!

Had a day out with Qammy, Shabby, Dzaf and long time no see see Is.

And the sleepover was nothing but fun fun fun especially the gossip part (the best or kalau orang melayu cakap 'terbaik!')!

And I'm a little bit hyper which I don't know why :P

Anyways, g'nite everyone!

rides back to home

As you would probably have guessed, I am home this weekend!

:D

*jumps for joy*

I am very happy and glad to be back home but I would like to share to you of what I have encountered during the journey from Malacca to KL last Friday.

As usual my roommate and I would pack up after our 2 30pm class. We would walk to the bus stop in front of the campus. During the walk, I saw the sky was turning dark. My guess as it was going to rain later but when we almost arrived at the bus stop the sky squeezed as hard as it can to pour all the water inside them and left us wet.

We were really wet!

Literally WET.

I was wearing my sandals and it got slippery in between my feet and the sandals which then forced me to walk slower. The best part was when we arrived at the bus stop the rain suddenly stopped.

Wow....

What a great time to rain eh?

Don't you have another time to rain? Can't you squeeze out those sponge-y clouds of your AFTER I get to the bus stop?

All is well after that. We rode the bus. A fast bus. A really fast bus because when I was half-asleep I can see the bus I'm riding is rapidly 'potong-ing' other vehicles.

But I made it safely to Pudu Raya Station. From Pudu we had to walk through Petaling Street to get to the Pasar Seni LRT station.

I am used to walking at Petaling Street that I can remember what type of item they sold there or even the smell of the place.

But that day it was an exception. I literally had smell God-knows-the-smelliest-stink ever which smelt really like a guy's body odour after they finish playing sports.

Eww..

It was so yucky that I walked really fast. Like really, really fast.

We were at the LRT station and parted ways. I was going for the Wangsa Maju station and my roommates head to KL Sentral.

I am also use to riding trains. Be it really empty or as packed as a sardine can. I had seen plenty of people's attitude and what not. I stepped into the train in hope of riding it feeling safe and cooled down but na'ah.

In front of me was this Chinese guy. He was shaking his head for God knows what. I thought he was just some normal guy who wants to release some stress but with some horrible body odour.

Once again I was wrong. When we reached to Dang Wangi's station the Chinese guys suddenly said to the guy behind him 'Go to hell you devil!!'

0.o

Oh wow!

Then he murmurs something unrecognizable which made the people around him including me to step back a couple of footsteps. Seriously, he made everyone there scared.

I kept on imagining he would suddenly be some psycho lunatic or something. Thank God on the next station he went down.

I can feel that everyone is relieved and I made it safely to Wangsa Maju and head back home with my mom.

Have you encountered any weird experiences on train? Any train. Do let me know :)
