Nuffnang Turns Five At Neverland Kuala Lumpur

This year is the year where Nuffnang turns 5!

Nuffnang held a big party at a Neverland, Kuala Lumpur, a club in the heart of KL. But is the Stickman old enough to enter into a club? You're just five! teehee^^

Anyway, after so many years after joining Nuffnang, sad to say that this was my first ever Nuffnang birthday bash I have ever been too. It so happens that this year, Nuffnang celebrated its birthday in a club that I've never been to before and I would really want to take a look inside; so, I decided to go this year. Apart from that, I went to be happy for Nuffnang as well. :)

Thanks to Dustyhawk, I managed to grad last minute ticket invites from him.

The evening didn't start off too well because it started to rain just as when I was about to go out from my house but as I approach KL City, the rain had already stopped there.

As I approach the main entrance of Neverland, I see many other bloggers dressed in blue as that was the theme colour of the day. Good thing I have a blue tshirt. I seldom have coloured tees last time.

The night started with loads of performances and games with Phat Fabes as the emcee.

It was a great night, had the chance to meet-up with some long lost friend *ahem* CheeChing and also some of the other bloggers as well.

To keep it short, I'm glad that Nuffnang is starting to bring back these big events. I do tend to enjoy going to large events. So let's hope that there are more to come soon!

Happy 5th Birthday Nuffnang!

ChurpOut With Atilia At 7atenine

Malaysia's News Blooper Made It To The Ellen Degeneres Show

Guess what?! Our local news broadcast made it all the way to the other side of the world on the Ellen Degeneres show!

Don't know that we should be proud or what because it was our news blooper. If I'm not mistaken it was the recent blooper on TV3's Bulletin Utama. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The original blooper video was posted on Facebook some time ago. I can't find it now, so to those that have the link to the video, do let me know.

What I do have is the video to the Ellen Degeneres show. It was just posted up on her official YouTube site.

Enjoy!

Why MidTerms Should Be Banned From 100 Percent Coursework Subjects

This will be one of my intellectual + philosophical posts on things that I just don't agree with.

You see, for those who doesn't already know, I'm studying at Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC) doing Multimedia Design.

That's MULTIMEDIA DESIGN.

Remember that to heart because I simply don't like people calling me a graphic designer. There's is a difference! Design is not all about graphics okay. Which is why I'm proud to have taken Multimedia Design. It's so much more chio!

Getting back to the topic, all Creative Arts students are under the School of Social Science and Humanities (SSH). So am I.

Basically they have this stereotyping thing going on for ages deeming that SSH students are 'dumb' and just can't do well in exams. First things first, all SSH students are not 'dumb' and okay, most of us can't really do exams which is why we take up creative courses in the first place! 'Cause our right brain works mother-fuckingly-AWESOME! Now ask a business student to draw a human figure and it'll turn out to become a weird zombie.

We all have our own strengths and weaknesses, so don't go around stereotyping people and even worse saying it out loud!

And for the record, I did Form 6 and studied in Business School before and I was mother-fuckingly-AWESOME at studying and memorising and DOING EXAMS! I only changed courses because I figured out that design was what I really wanted to do in life.

Not praising myself, but people who can decide and ACTUALLY KNOW what they want in life are worth to be admired.

Just a little note to all lecturers, NEVER STEREOTYPE SSH STUDENTS EVER!

Dang!

My rant has something to do with the midterm I had earlier today. Saying that SSH students can't do well in studies? Fuck you, I'll mother-fucking ace that subject if it wasn't all for the midterm in a '100 percent coursework' subject.

I have nothing against midterms, but to have it when you clearly said that it is a 100 percent coursework subject just doesn't make any sense at all!

FYI, midterm = exam.

and '100 percent coursework' does not mean and DOES NOT ONLY RELATE TO NOT HAVING A FINAL EXAM at the end of the semester!

If you are going to say that this subject is a 100 percent coursework subject, then why are you having midterms for it? You say that midterms will help pull our marks up if we score low or fail in our assignments but to me midterms are the ones that pull our marks down.

What's worse is that you say that midterm marks are accumulated into the final marks as well. 20-25 percent for a midterm test?! That's like almost pulling you 2 Grades lower if you scored a 0 for that test!

Being a Creative Arts students, we would have lost the ability to actually study for an exam because we use our right brains most of the time. I have to admit, that studying seemed harder for me now compared to last time. Information just doesn't absorb that fast anymore. Or maybe I'm just lazy. I don't know.

If, you took the time to read up till this point, I thank you for your time and patience. Also, you would have guessed that I kinda didn't do well in my midterms because of this rant post.

I have already been against midterms for 100 percent coursework subject ever since I joined this course.  and it's not only recently that I am against it because I did badly in my midterm. I just don't see the point in having midterm exams when you say its all about the coursework and you even make us sit on alternate seats. So exam like yo!

If you're going to have a midterm, never say that it's a 100 percent coursework subject.

Instead, say this,

'It's a 80% coursework and a 20% midterm subject.'

I have now made my say.
