COMPLETE Awareness Day, "Save the Palestinians"

Click below to watch the promo video for this Sunday's event

"SAVE THE PALESTINIANS" Campaign

Palestinian Awareness Day Organised by C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E

The main objective of the campaign is to further educate/clarify/enlighten the general public on the actual situation in Gaza and why this issue is an international one. 

The war in Gaza is not a religious issue and should not just be viewed as one as the oppression is a humanitarian issue.

People are left injured,dying and rotting in Gaza with no basic human necessities like water, food, electricity, medication and such with miniscule hope of receiving any through its borders or even getting out.

Gaza is an open air prison of war refugees, tortured and abandoned, retaliating only through sheer desperation. 

Now, they are punished for practicing their right for democracy.

Help sympathise with this already fragile country by attending the exhibition this Sunday, 18th of January 2009. Maybe with more knowledge and understanding on the matter we could better ourselves in expressing opinions on the matter and ultimately just be more informed on this crucial humanitarian outrage.

It is our responsibility to educate ourselves, in order to protect ourselves.

bye-bye tortured soul...

i suddenly feel a rush of emotions..

i've come to realize that i can be quite the mengarut most of the time..

i've always considered myself awkward, weird, a little off centre and definitely a sore thumb sticking out beside everyone around me..but maybe it's just me who makes me awkward you know..hmm..im talking gibberish again..

it's official, i'm extending an additional semester due to some unforeseen and totally unexpected circumstances..i'm very sad about it ofcourse, but i've come to terms with the fact that this is the best thing to do lah in order to save my cgpa..haih..how depressing..

it's not more on the extending part you know..i actually really don't care much..it's just that i made plans to be on holiday that coming 6 months to sooth my over-worked soul..and i had so many things i wanted to do..now all that is just a distant dream that may or may not come true, depending on how heavy the 3 subjects would be..

yeah, i decided to push 3 subjects due to 1 slip up..the 1 is equivalent to 3 studying subjects since time is the biggest issue in an architecture students forsaken life..*big sigh..

but ultimately, i'm really affected by the fact that i won't be attending the same convocation as my fellow classmates..it's suppose to be a memorable once in a life time experience thing together right, and basically that's out the window now..*bigger sigh..

most of all, i feel like a hollow depth is being drilled through my tortured soul when i think about parting with the friends i recently made..it's so ironic, but although knowing them for just months, i feel as though i've known them forever..it's like all this while feeling so misplaced and awkward, i finally found a place for me to fit in and soon i have to move again..they may not feel the same way, heck they may not even get me but that doesn't really matter to me though..when i'm spending time with these few people i feel like i'm back home again..at least i feel like i can understand them..

all this boils back down to me, always creating awkwardness in perfectly un-awkward situations..when there are people who seem sincere in being friends i start getting weird about it, but when there's an obvious "udang di sebalik batu" thing going on i'm so freakin oblivious to it..haha..i guess i am weird..like in a stupid way..*biggest sigh..

well, this is me..going through my emo motions again..i'm yawning now which obviously means i'm sleepy..i've been freakin having nightmares lately..it's so so tiring..i just pray that God will help calm my tormented soul..until that day comes....

alia is searching for the balance between.....

branding my mind - brand in my mine

thanks to miss Syazato! i am so extremely into online shopping right now..hehehehehehe...

it's so convenient, sites can be so detailed about what they're selling that u know almost exactly what u're getting and this makes a trip to the mall so menyusahkan..haha..u may or may not get what u're looking for..but online, u can look until u get what u want n it will eventually be sent to ur door step..hehe..haih...

going through all this information reinforces my want to start my own thing..i'm just really not sure about the risk behind investing my time n money in starting a business..i've been thinking about this for so long it's crazy..but i know that deep down inside, this little side project will make me very happy :)..hehe..

well now i'm in the 'planning-n-writing-a-business-plan' process..will hopefully be able to really kick things off when i graduate next year n take 6-12months off..hahaha..seriously man..i need investors (like my brother n parents, hehehe) that can provide me with sufficient "modal" on top of what ever i'm putting a side myself..in order to do that, i need to produce a killer business plan (something my brother mewajibkan me do) if i even dream of getting anywhere near doing this..i don't even know how to begin to do it..but that shouldn't stop me from trying right..hehehe..

one really huge problem though..i have to be realistic in life right, i definitely don't have the balls (ofcourse i don't, i'm a woman..hahahaha) to drop everything i'm doing n what ever courier plan i have for my future just to feed my need for self-satisfaction..i would love if i could juggle my current pre-planned architecture courier with my obsession in creating my own brand..thing is, i really don't know if that's a good idea..entahlah..am i capable enough to not get distracted by one to screw up the other?..it's scary..

well right now, i really do wanna try anyway..?? gosh..i hope n pray that this is the right decision..hehe..go go aliebarley!

Tropic Thunder

(Official Trailer)

i watched this movie the night i completed my Building Construction examinations 2 days ago..i completely loved it :) it was soo super funny, and Tom Cruise's persona in this movie just blew me away..he is really that damn good an actor..at one point i really considered him to be so full of himself and just an old washed out actor living in the shadow of his younger days, but i honestly take it all back..it was a dumb ass role, but to think that he could pull it off that well was amazing..

i also thought that jack black deserved a better role in the movie though..his was just too stupid..jack has more talent than that..it was somehow one of those roles that any idiot could have easily pulled off..they made use of jack's physical character as a joke too much that i really disagree with the idea..but oh well, slapstick comedy right?..

the on-screen tension between robert downey junior and ben stiller was also really good..i somehow imagined it to be that way a little in real life too, on set..hehe..i dont know why..they were both really good at portraying their roles..and last but not least, the addition of "alpa chino" and the nerdish character that i just can't seem to remember his name, was just icing on the cake lah..

a good stupid joke movie lah this one :)

ps : i really recommend checking out the closing montage for the movie..i like it so much i am so downloading it when i get the chance..it was really well done and plus, with tom cruise dancing like an idiot, i think it's just really entertaining..
