So, I am back! I was kinda busy the past few days...a lot of things happened...UNEXPECTED things,anyway I have to thank GOD for making sure everything went alright... :)

Anyway....I was thinking to post something interesting...so,I had this idea of posting 10 interesting facts about anything...rite from food,entertainment,people and bla bla bla.

Here I am,with my first ever "Interesting 10" post....I would probably post such stuff every week... This week, its about Malaysia!!!

10 interesting things/facts about Malaysia!!!
Here,we go...

1."TUN" is the most senior federal title and there can be no more than 25 living recipients at any one time.

2.The largest cave chamber in the world is the Sarawak Chamber in Gunung Mulu National Park which can easily accommodate a Boeing 747-200.

3.Malaysia shares with Qatar the world's lowest death rate of respiratory diseases, at 7.5 death per annum per 100 000 people.

4.CINEMA came to Malaya (now Malaysia) in 1933 with the screening of Laila Majnum, based on a Sanskrit play of two ill-fated loves, directed by B.S. Rajhans and produced by the Singapore-based Motilal Chemical Company.

5.Malaysia produces a meagre 15 feature films annually but churns out 300 to 400 television dramas and serials.

Made a Mistake

16 1/2 hours more...

Okay, holidays will officially be over in another 16 1/2 hours.Thats really sad....mainly because:

1.I won't be able to laze around at home

2.Can't watch Mcleod's Daughters!!! (although I hv been watching it for the 3rd time...Hallmark is repeating the 7th season AGAIN)

3.Hate waking up so early in the morning! Really really EARLY :(

Going back to college is not that bad though in the sense that I will be meeting my college mates back....Kinda MISS them actually...But, I just dislike the fact that I have got to start attending lectures and tutorials.And this sem, the tutorials will be held for 2 HOURS!!!

I don't understand how that is possible.I hv dreaded tutorials since....I dunno...since I started attending them...UNLESS....I hv done what I am supposed to do before I attend...which is like NEVER!!!

There's one thing really GOOD in the next sem...the NUMBER of subjects....just THREE....3...TIGA....MOONDRU (in Tamil)....I dunno the word in Chinese....wait a sec...is it SAN??? Anyway...the subjects are quite interesting too...Webpage Design,Management Studies and English for Comm.Should be alright...but,of course these U people (the management/lecturers) have always done their best to make simple things as COMPLICATED as possible....

And...yet another weekend has gone by..almost.....and the following quote fits me just well...SERIOUSLY...simply because I have been following it....without realising how true (or maybe not) it is!

Movies I wanna watch...

I am a big movie fan, especially tamil movies.Love watching good, entertaining movies.I have to admit though that I don't visit the theatres regularly unless a movie is worth watching in the theatre comes up. I usually go for vcd/dvds (rental) which are more convenient and cheap!

Since I have been on holidays....I have been watching a few movies that I missed and I must say that I was pretty satisfied.

I watched :

1.Kalloori

2.Pollathavan

3.Pirivom Santhipom

All of them were good esp. Pollathavan and Kallori (except for its ending).

Now, I have my eyes on 2 movies, one which was released last year and another which just came out.

1.Taare Zameen Par : This movie was released in 2007 and was both critically and commercially acclaimed.This movie is Aamir Khan's first as a director and he produced it too.The movie deals with the story of a child with learning difficulties.In general, the movie's theme seems to focus on the fact that every child is special and according to the many reviews that I checked out, the overall verdict is that its a must watch.

I have always loved movies with off-beat themes and subjects and I am hoping to get this one's DVD soon.



2.Anjathey : This one got released a few days ago and has been receiving rave reviews from all quarters.Not sure if it has been released here or not but the whole team associated with the movie is quite promising.This movie is "Chithiram Pesuthadi" fame Mysskin's second film.Has Narain as the lead actor once again with "Chennai 600028" fame Vijayalakshmi as the heroine.So far, I managed to catch a glimpse of 3 songs featured in the movie thanks to Sun Music!!! All of them are mediocre although there's one number which is frequently showed.By the way, it's a cop story with a gripping screenplay it seems (according to most of the reviews) and there's a weak point connected to the movie.Guess what? The movie is more than 3 hours long.I have no idea how I can stand that btw.Anyway, I am eager to watch this one too due to the humble cast and crew involved.I have begun getting irritated by watching the likes of Vj and Co in the same old formulaic stories!!!

*No offence to any of Vj's fans please!



Thats all for now.Right now trying to get hold of the TZP DVD which I can't seem to find anywhere....


Signing off....Sree :)

An Intro

So, here I am posting an intro on myself and my blog for probably the 3rd or is it the 4th time? I have tried owning my own blog but failed miserably due to my laziness.My previous blogs have had a maximum of 6 entries in the past and its definitely not a great number to boast around. I have lost touch with the world for quite a long time now....have been interacting with my friend Jam only and a few of my college buddies.I am quite net savvy in the sense that I do go online and love to surf the net for a lot of stuff but am not so into blogging.

Since blogging is interesting and I believe in having the freedom to speak/express one's thoughts/opinions....here you are at my blog, "Sree's Sentiments". As you can see, my name is Sree and I am currently doing a foundation programme in a private Uni and would be pursuing a degree in Actuarial Science soon.Yes,Actuarial Science! Lotta people seem to not know what Acuarial Science is exactly.....especially when one of my relative who wondered why on earth I would wanna do a course related to marine/sea creatures??!!! For all those people who still have no idea what Actuarial Science is exactly...my version of definition : Economics + Calculus + Statistics + Finance + lots of examinations = Actuarial Science. For a more detailed info check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuarial_science.

Currently at a private university and believe me, there's nothing much to say about the Uni....I am there due to some twists of fate and I have to say, I am totally responsible for that! Okay, on my Uni....may be I do have a few positive say...one of the few (note "few") good things that I have gotten since registering into the university is that I have got a bunch of friends who,to say the least are fun and awesome to be with.2ndly, the lecturers (atleast most of them) are really cool and pretty helpful I must say.

Right now I am enjoying my sem holidays...which is gonna end in another 2 days.Can't believe how fast time can pass....I have been sitting around watching tele (+ eating + sleeping for more than 8 hours...trust me you dun wanna know the exact number) in my house for the past 3 and 3/4 weeks!!! Right now I am glad to know that I am gonna start my 3rd sem..which is the last one and I would be doing 3 subjets only...YAY!!!

Okay, now about the blog...I think I will be posting interesting things (atleast in my opinion) and my thoughts about current events may be...movies (love watching movies)....tv programmes...and of course my daily life...If not daily atleast things worth mentioning that happens in my life will be updated regularly. Thats all for now....I guess... :)
