			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I watched &#8220;Hannibal Rising&#8221; around 2 hours ago at the cinema. While some people &#8211; or probably everyone &#8211; were making comparisons of the movie with the previous <em>Hannibal</em> movies, all I could think of was cupcakes. This was probably because in one of the scenes, Hannibal had a cupcake in front of him which he didn&#8217;t even eat. Stupid bastard. It was just one of those typical cupcakes you don&#8217;t really make a big deal of, you know, but you gotta eat! It looks like it has this soft texture, baked golden brown and has lots of cream with a cherry on top. Very nice&#8230; I want to eat the cupcake. For a person who ate a hearty meal just an hour before the movie, I feel like I could eat hundreds of those. I felt the same after I watched &#8220;Major Payne&#8221; when he ate this small cupcake with pink icing on top&#8230; Very nice&#8230; I love cupcakes&#8230; It never fails to make me hungry again. Bliss&#8230; =)<br />
Okay, that was completely random. Let&#8217;s not talk about cupcakes anymore.</p>
<p>Someone told me that when opposites attract, it&#8217;s a good thing, but not in the long run. Apparently, psychologists argue that in the end, it&#8217;s all about companionship. So does this mean that when a person has completely different attributes to his/her partner, they&#8217;re not going to last? I guess it depends on personal experiences.</p>
<p>I do strongly believe that every person in this world, no matter how much they have in common, are still different in every way possible, and that&#8217;s what makes a strong relationship. There&#8217;s always a balance in life. Good and evil, ups and downs, left and right&#8230; There&#8217;s always a balance, and that&#8217;s how &#8220;things&#8221; happen, doesn&#8217;t it? It just makes it more interesting, I guess. If, for example, you and your partner are both very short-tempered people and suddenly get involved in a huge argument, your relationship can be blown up into little pieces. Or if you both have the same interests like music, movies, food, whatever&#8230; doesn&#8217;t the relationship get a bit boring afterwards? So how exactly does &#8220;opposites attract, but not in the long run&#8221; theory work? Isn&#8217;t it more interesting to have different tastes, interests and occasional debates to have good companionship?</p>
<p>I suppose it depends on personality as well. I, for one, loves constant little arguments in a relationship. But that&#8217;s just me, a stubborn, self-righteous fool who thinks you wrong and I&#8217;m always right. If you argue with me, that means you&#8217;ve got a different opinion, and I like to listen to that opinion. If you don&#8217;t argue, but agree with me instead and just let me go on with my rantings, then you&#8217;re boring. And our relationship is boring. So tell me why can&#8217;t opposites attract in the long run again???</p>
<p>Damn, i&#8217;m so deepax, man. I&#8217;m gonna end this by telling you I&#8217;m not sure if anything in this post makes any sense at all. Hahah&#8230; I was on a roll there, huh? =p</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I finally got my exam results. I aced them all. Alhamdulillah for that. The suspense was just killing me since Friday. I felt a bit bad for not being a good host to the nomads since the feeling of unrest was at the back of my head. I was a bit paranoid to be honest since Friday cos the guy from the computer service at my uni gave me a funny look when he checked my uni internet account. F*ck the guy man! But now i can enjoy myself for a bit since i got my results out. YAY! Told the good news to my parents. Im just glad that I could make them happy <img src='http://benster.blog.brunet.bn/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  the least i can do from far&#8230;</p>
<p>My guests decided to stay longer and we had a good little celebratory dinner just now. It was kinda &#8216;nazar&#8217; for passing my exams and i&#8217;m just glad that i could share the victory with the nomads. <img src='http://benster.blog.brunet.bn/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Tommorrow is the big day for the Reds. Champs League starts again. We&#8217;re gonna go up against Barca at the Nou Camp. All the best to the Reds!!&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now this can be attributed into 2 factors:</p>
<p>1. The exam results are out and i still cant access my Spider web. Its my Uni account and i had to run around uni yesterday trying to fix it. To top it all off i had to walk 9 miles before that for the Bridgewater Canal project. Overall, i think i walked a good 15 miles yesterday. I&#8217;m not gonna deny, i feel abit tense waiting for the result. I cant help it ok..i just wanna pass my exams&#8230;</p>
<p>2. Hell broke loose over a hair-band between the 3 nomads just now. It was so tense like they&#8217;re about to hit each other with clubs. Me being an outsider has deduced this as merely a small matter. But then again, one of the nomads mentioned to me that its all about &#8216;belongings&#8217;. Well its not about cars or a freaking ipod movie for crying out loud&#8230;its about a freaking hair band!&#8230;hahahahaha</p>
<p>My team is playing against Barca next week at the Nou Camp. the 98k capacity stadium is going to witness a game thats going to be one of the best in the champs league. All the best to The Reds and hope we can make it through to the final.</p>
<p>And as for my results&#8230;Insya Allah&#8230;i can make it&#8230;:) Amin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, my feet hurts and I feel like my make-up is fading. I&#8217;m sitting here writing this and I can smell her cooking. I&#8217;m hungry&#8230;Ah&#8230;Buttermilk Chicken&#8230;You bested me this time&#8230;</p>
<p>The best part about today is the mug I bought at the one-pound shop. Really vibrant retro colors; red, blue, yellow, white and black&#8230;She&#8217;s sitting at the corner of the room &#8211; bored &#8211; hoping the guy fiddling with the laptop would notice her. Man, that&#8217;s deep.</p>
<p>Stupid &#8220;Cotton-Eye Joe&#8221; song by Rednex. I&#8217;m telling you, I was going through a phase, dammit. I just found out that it was a one-hit wonder back in the cringy &#8217;90s. So yeah, I wasn&#8217;t the only bastard who actually liked that song. It was a ONE-HIT WONDER, for God&#8217;s sake, so people must&#8217;ve liked it!!! I wonder why, though. That song is nasty&#8230;Especially the chorus&#8230;<br />
You know what song I couldn&#8217;t stop thinking about all day?</p>
<p>&#8220;THE HILLS ARE ALIVE&#8230;WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC&#8230;! THE SONG THEY HAVE SUNG&#8230;FOR A THOUSAND YEARS&#8230;!&#8221;<br />
Tell me, people&#8230;Am I going crazy?</p>
<p>IUsedToLikeRednex &#8216;07</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, i just found out that my old friend just got married yesterday. Congratulations to Hj Haizul for finally getting hitched. I know for a fact that he&#8217;s been waiting for the big day for quite a long time now, so savour the moment bro. Funnily enough, you&#8217;re the third guy who got married out of the six of the crazy gang back in UBD hehehe&#8230;3 down&#8230;3 more to go&#8230;hahahahaha&#8230;</p>
<p>Me and my good buddy used to make jokes about who&#8217;s gonna be the last guy to get married. The name of the game is &#8220;Last Man Standing&#8221; and i think if i&#8217;m not mistaken the winner will get to go for honeymoon, all expenses paid&#8230;good enough price i reckoned. We&#8217;ll just have to see about it eh..buddy! hahaha</p>

<p>Anyway, today i finished my 20% personal coursework in one sitting. The coursework was supposed to be handed in on the 12th of March. Now talk about efficiency. To tell you honestly, i just wanted to get it out of the way really before more work comes in. Called dad last night cos it was his birthday. OK, im not bragging but for a 67 years old guy, he looks like he&#8217;s 57, ten years younger man&#8230;hehehe&#8230;well thats my dad. I seriously think its the upbringing. I remembered he told me when he was younger, he used to iron his own stuff and wont let anybody touch his belongings. Not because he&#8217;s stingy or anything like that, its just that he doesnt like lines on his pants and shirts&#8230;hehehe..he&#8217;s a good looking guy. And until now, he wont allow our maid to iron his stuff&#8230;cos he&#8217;s quite particular with his lines&#8230;hahaha</p>
<p>And lastly, i apologize for not putting my thoughts in here lately, been extra busy with work and all and some of my thoughts were just crap ones&#8230;so yea&#8230;.</p>

I feel like theres no rest whatsoever with doing masters degree, everything is cramped up in a year. A 3 years course can be summed up into 2 hours lecture!&#8230;thats how bad it is.</p>
<p>Anyway, just got back from london. Sent to Hot Mama home, back to brunei for good. Damn i envy her. The fact that she&#8217;s enjoying the sunny side of the world with family and friends&#8230;makes me feel homesick&#8230;Good thing i foresaw that im gonna be extremely busy over the next coupla weeks&#8230;or months ahead. In no time, it&#8217;ll be ovaaaa soon&#8230;insya Allah&#8230;:)</p>
