Yeah-yeah!

Yeah-yeah!
I finally finished the Bartimaeus Trilogy!
The third book, Ptolemy's Gate was quite a blast, but it started quite slowly at first. Then, the build-up was quite good and it left me breathless as the panicky situation was unravelled at a fast pace. It was also more emotional compared to the previous volumes which makes it an intriguing read as it explores the relationship between a master and his slave. There are a lot of loooong conversations too. What makes it an entertaining read is actually because of Bartimaeus's personality ( oh ya, he's a djinn, by the way).
One warning: you've gotta have a lot of patience reading this book..I skipped a few parts to get to the good ones.. ;-p
I don't know what else to blog about, but I'm just back from an exasperating golf game and I'll be retiring in front of the T.V. ....leaving my schoolwork abandoned.....heheheheh......

My Fair Lady

This is an old issue, I know. What has brought my attention to the topic of women rights was when I watched one of the episodes of Commander In Chief on Hallmark. In that series, the president of the United States was supposedly a woman. Interesting, and she plans to take the stand for women rights to the next level despite the controversies arousing her brave statement. The debate was whether or not it was relevant to debate on an old issue, in respect of the state of today's society. Women of today have a better status than they did way back in the days of history old. Women emancipation has been heatedly debated especially in the West throughout the time, and perhaps, the most memorable one was of the Suffragettes, fighting for the right of women to vote. Some places in Africa, in history, do not even recognize rape of women, as a crime, however, all of that has changed, thankfully. The question now is, are women actually 'emancipated' as we are all made to belief? well,...

My Unintended

I'm going back today =( My class is seemingly doing a drama on inter-species romance. An alien princess with a homo sapien teenager. It's gonna be fun. The props are gonna be out-of-this-world and maybe, kind of complex to make, but all the same, marvelous if we can pull it off. For the setting, we might be doing a space backdrop. Costumes, perhaps a blend of futuristic, contemporary and medievel and a little touch of Goth as it will be in a modern-day Halloween setting. We haven't discussed the storyline yet, but it's going to be a fusion of comedy, action and the lot.. Inspirations come from an array of popular sci-fi characters from Star Wars, Star Trek and a Malay short story Anyss Sophillea. I just can't wait.
