...Marianne Dashwood~!!
Who is she? A character in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. I did a quiz on "Which Jane Austen Character are you?"
You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately.

But I wonder why the invigilator is smiling at me?
Oh my god.
Could it be that I'm that awesome?

It is the title of the manga (dunno what manga is? where have you been?!) I've been reading for the past couple of days. It consists of 13 volumes of which I devoured all in um, 3 days.
I'm amazed how i can be such an otaku sometimes! :)
So Koukou Debut means High School Debut.
What is it about? (It sounds like a typical shoujo plot and I've come across this manga loads of time before I actually picked it up (ok more like downloaded it) and start devouring)
In middle school, Haruna was such a sports freak that she never paid attention to being a feminine girl although she's very into shoujo manga and romances. Now that she's in high school, her goal is to fall in love. However, all the magazines and fashion tips she got from media are not exactly helping her; resulting her looking like a freak. Imagine combining all the good stuff you see in mags and wear it all at once. Disaster ait? So she went to this public place where supposedly you can get hit on by guys and found herself practically ignored. Until she met this one guy who helped her retrive her shoe (i cant remember why. haha). She noticed that he's hot and everything but the guy looked uninterested and commented that she looked like a freak wearing something like that in public. Then Haruna vowed that if she ever sees that guy again, she wants him to be her coach. And guess what, that guy turned out to be her senior at high school. His name, Yoh. A few events later, Yoh agreed to coach her and his only rule is, "Don't fall in love with me. I hate girls."
I was really bored that day so I gave the series a shot lah. Until I found myself getting addicted to it. =_=
I really like the plot because somehow, it's very realistic how the mangaka portray a life of a couple. It's not dramatic to the point its so annoying like you know when you watch korean soaps and you go, "My GOD just tell the damn guy you didnt do it lah!!! SO easy!!!" Minus the whole misunderstanding shit. I love Yoh and Haruna (especially Haruna) because they are so straightforward, not too much lah to the point there's no that suspense element.
Example:
Scene where Haruna confesses to Yoh:
If its a typical drama, it prolly go on and on before she actually confensses. For koukou debut. it only happened in a couple of pages. Within the same volume!!!
The main reason i love it is because how i can relate to most of the problems faced by Yoh and Haruna (am i talking from experience? lol ;p) So yeah, in real life...little problems like a simple misunderstanding about spending extracurricular activities with (just so it happens) another girl does not mean it should last up to several volumes. Resulting in a very emotional feud between the couple. No. No. No. :)
I mean, lets say you tak puas hati about something, dont tell me you dont discuss it with someone? =_= Talk about it. For sho its going to fix the problem.
Since when im Dr Phil?
Anyways, the manga scans I posted up there are not mine and a huge thanks to the scanlanting group who translated it for the mass.
They deserve a noble prize.
For world peace.
Ta! Gotta study for my MUET test tomorrow.

Way back in March, my malaysian studies class had a mock syariah court hearing for two days.
The case goes like this (I changed the character's names to their actors' names so its easier for me to type lah):
Adam and Rini had been married for a couple of years. Now they are fighting over custody of their two children, Dania and Daniel (I created their names! Dun ask the reason of the name, it was an impromptu decision. Thx Ayesha~!) They have lived seperately for three years now with Dania with Rini and Daniel with Adam. Rini is working from home where she baked cookies. Adam owns 3 restaurants. Rini accused Adam of abusing her and not giving her nafkah. Before the seperation, Adam confessed to marry his childhood sweetheart, Dian. Rini has a close relationship with Syahriz and thus, accused of infidelity by Adam.
Main Witnesses:
Me as Adam's mom
Dian as Adam's childhood friend
Taufiq as Rini's brother
Syahriz as Rini's best friend
Aishah as Rini's business partner and friend
Judge: Imran
Lawyers:
Rini's Side :
Ayesha and Assistant lawyer, Zaim
Adam's Side:
Azree and Assistant lawyer, Anne
Psychologist: Zulaikha
Since my class is filled with very emotional people, it is expected for the hearing to become very heated. In fact, all of us stayed in character really well and we became really emotional lah. Let the fighting begin~!
Ayesha and Zaim discussing before the hearing
Anne yang always camera-ready. Azree and Adam busy going through the details
Ayesha briefing Rini before the hearing
Adam's side lah yang paling emo skali. Adam annoyed after a few betrayals from other witnesses and me looking emo jugak?
Adam proving his innocence! Tuan Imran looking um, very judge-like?
All of us after the long court hearing, we became friends again? Sort of LOL
The lawyers and Tuan Imran
At the end of the day, it was great fun! Moral of the story, KAHWIN TUH SUSAH. TAK YAH GATAL NAK MENYEBOK KAHWIN AWAL2!
Wow, way to go in rejecting the idea of marriage Yangness!
Disclaimer: I ripped those pictures off Zaim's FB account. THANK YOU ZAIM!
Ta, hoes!

3) I'm vain. And i KNOW it.
4) I'm self-centered.
5) I often portray that I care a lot but actually I dont unless it has something to do with me (or beneficial to me, etc)
6) I have an amazing ability to turn the story about something to a story about ME.
7) I like to make mom jokes. AND I BLAME AYESHA FOR ENCOURAGING ME. (why la you have to find it so darn funneh?!)
8) I hate people who are better than me
9) I will not be friends with people who I feel can threatened my capabilities.
10) I'm a bitch
11) I'm easily intimidated which explains my whole me-agaisnt-the-world attitude
12) I'm sensitive
13) I'm fickle
14) I'm financially challenged
15) I'm not articulate which annoys the hell out of meh
16) I eat like a LOT
17) I'm moody
18) I dont smile a lot

22) I like attention
23) I'm such a gossip
24) I badmouth people sometimes. so UGLY!!
25) I have anger issues

27) A bit rascist. But who doesnt la?
28)I can hate a person for no absolute reason
29) I'm shallow
30) "I only have 10 bucks left. Good enough to buy your mom for the night!" (see, i told you it was bad)
