And hello guys!

Oh my God, it feels so good that my fingers are actually approving to me to post again in my blog. Well, I have so many things to do recently, so many things since school started that I've abandon this blog. The biggest factor that happens is because if you don't observe carefully . . .
Sorry if it ain't large enough!
So, that header explains everything. No, you must be thinking I'm too devoted in writing. No, that means I'm not currently good at scribbling. And this blog, hell yeah, is a place for me to scribble things up, and I'm not good at that. Seriously, I've been reading wonderful posts that make me laugh so hard. If laughter is a liquid, I had gallons and gallons of tanks of it.
That's why I'm sort of dead. And there had been examination, which I feel so stupid when I have 4As out of eight subjects. When comparing to the freaking geniuses in my class I am at number 34 out of the 40. If I'm Adele I would do a heartbreak record, and she named her record 21 and I would name mine 34. So . . . yeah.
I hate being fifteen. Seriously, I should be happy, but I am not. I look happy to my friends, I disguise my midnight misery with a sunshiny smile. I have wonderful friends, but I never have a best friend. I thought this year could change things (my mind, the way of me confronting things) but things looked the same to my eyes.
But I keep on writing. I write a lot from an adventure to dystopia, which the latest thing I'm serious about is The Avalon Hunters -- a planned trilogy that I've started to write. Which is amazing, because I am really wishing for a book to be that way but then I heard a quote saying "If you want a nonexistent story to be exist, you have to write it." I had forgotten who have might create the quote, but I am totally agreeing on it. I must write. It is compulsory for me to.
So things I might have not tell you is:
I just finished TMI first three books. Humm, I can't say I love this series. I mean, the world is completely brilliant -- the world is crafted and written beautifully. But the characters . . . oh my gosh, we have from a whiny and slightly Bella Swan-ish Clarissa Fray and someone who is Edward Cullen the sarcastic and the arrogant version. I mean, hey, bash me if you want, but that's just my opinion. Clary can create fantastic runes, and she gives love hopes to boys, and she have annoying flaws that obviously intended to have to her just to make her look cute . . . which she is not. And Jace . . . oh my God, everyone in the book EMBRACE his flawlessness without even seeing how arrogant and egoistical this guy is. Whoa, JACE IS HANDSOME, I know! JACE is THE MOST POWERFUL Shadowhunter! I KNOW! I love sarcastic characters, but not him. Jace was written exaggeratedly, and I hate him. I thought I'll love him so that's why I give him a chance, but no.
But the series keep me entertained. I mean, the others in the book are cool, and I need to know more about this Nephilim world. I love it other than the two main protagonists.
I saw The Hunger Games . . . I mean, who doesn't?
I read the books and it's amazing that I'm so hyped about the movie. Some people call the movie bad, but no one in Malaysia respond to this first movie in the movie franchise like they responded to Twilight or Harry Potter. At least being here Hunger Games are Hunger Games -- Malaysians, who are actually a little keen to read English books didn't see the movie as Twilight or other movie franchise which is overly romanticized, and overly packed with action, which is immature.
So The Hunger Games movie to me is basically The Hunger Games. I can't say I love the movie because the book is too great, too great that nothing could even be compare to the books, including the movie adaptation. But I'm glad that the movie falls on the main theme -- survival of Katniss Everdeen, the introduction of her road in being the only successful rebel in Panem, and not the love triangle, the action or the weapons, or whatever it is. Gary Ross did an amazing job in translating the book into the big screen. His imagination of Panem is deeply intensifying that you couldn't laugh or cry when watching the movie.
Movies like this are honestly a problem to some young adults in Malaysia. Honestly, most of young adults here prefer movie which is actually a movie -- a mass media tool to entertain them instead of opening their eyes on how a reality TV program could mind-control us (which is there in the Games). Probably overly-action packed John Carter would made fame here, overly romanticized Twilight would made fame here, but Hunger Games? Well, first the book's publicity wasn't big here, because Malaysians rarely read English books. So to some of them who watch it without knowing a single theme about The Hunger Games, when they watch it in the big screen, they would be like "WHAAAT . . . . ?"
Well, actually that's to some friends of mine who complained about the movie to me. They enjoyed Twilight but not this movie. They enjoyed Harry Potter but not this movie. Due to the intensity of Gary Ross's perspective on the book, he focused on the MAIN theme: reality-TV show effect on teenagers, survival, war and rebellion, instead of: romantic love triangle, some kickass wizardry scene that amazes you, shooting guns and bullets flying in the air. In other countries, mainly English-speaking countries, The Hunger Games is ALMOST A BIG LITERARY PHENOMENA AFTER HARRY POTTER and even the ones who didn't read had read the books. So they are exposed to the main theme of the movie, and Gary Ross . . . he made a PERFECT job in directing the movie!
But some of them complained. I love it that most of my friends said they loved it. The movie are honestly not as great as the books, but well, book is always better. Well Malaysian, we already saw how horrible Ombak Rindu is when it was turned into the movie (well, the one who didn't read might think it was okay.)
So, that's fundamentally for today!
I hope I'll post more. So please pray that I do!
