ruminations

(no, i'm not talking about chewing cud..)

Yays

violin is progressing. apparently my intonation has gotten better. though i still bow like a madman.

wedding processional song, checked! (1st 2 minutes of Handel's Overture to the Music for the Royal Fireworks)

spent my 25 bucks' worth of Kino vouchers on Francis Fukuyama's 'The End of History and the Last Man'.

Nays

have not had the time to go anywhere past chapter 2 of harry potter and the half-blood prince (yup, SACRILEGE!)

if you think our english-malay subtitles are bad...

remember "this is all i will do. period" --> "ini sahaja yang akan aku lakukan. menstruasi!"? well, if you think our local subtitles are bad, you'll be ROTFLYAO and wiping the tears from your eyes reading this one..

some surfing led to a recommendation to this blog entry regarding a direct english translation of the chinese interpretation of a star wars script, found on a made-in-china dvd. have seen nothing as good as this, ever. ever!
