1. What is the movie about?
High Fidelity is about the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob (John Cusack), a record-store owner. Rob (Cusack) is a guy who's got it pretty good. He owns a record store and practices the fine art of musical snobbery with his two employees, Barry (Black) and Dick (Louiso). He also got a girlfriend, Laura (Hjejle), and everything seems to be going well, until she leaves him. In the wake of Laura's departure, he proceeds to relate his Top Five all-time breakups, and wants to confront those portions of his past to see if he and Laura have a future.
2. How is the story different from other common fiction?
The story is different from other common fiction because it is not a common stereotype love story in a movie. It reveals to us that not all relationship goes on well. High fidelity is a romantic comedy which provides a whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart. Rob's journey of self-discovery brings us an entertaining insight of failed relationships.
3. Who's your favorite character? Why?
My favourite character would be Rob. This is Cusack's best role to date, and he makes the most of it, particularly in his riffs on romantic humiliation. Meanwhile his sidekicks Black and Louiso argue pop music with a lunatic passion that will have any fan roaring.Rob spends a lot of time obsessing about his relationships and wondering why he is so unsuccessful in this area. It's kind of sweet the way he describes his own apparent inability.

I Have Problems....
Assalamualaikum....
Hello my fellas, today I would like to share with all of you the problems I often face in writing a composition. I never told this to anyone, so this is an exclusive revelation ok.. Mr. Jaferi has come out with a great idea to ask me to write on that topic. It gives me an opportunity to really address the difficulties that occur to me when writing something. I admit that I am not a good writer ( I really mean it). Seriously, I am very worried when it comes to creating a writing piece. Anyway, for those who have comments and suggestions to help me, please do come forward ok.
Firstly, I do not have the flow of idea. In other words, I often experience mind block. This is really important because I realize that it always interferes my 'masterpiece'. Due to this problem, I have to catch up with time in order to finish my writing especially during examination. It makes me feel very unconfident, and I keep rushing my thoughts in order to complete a written work. When this happens, my points become disorganized. Furthermore, I do not have the ability to produce a quality writing. This is an obstacle because it is hard for me to impress my lecturers, and hard for me to discuss an idea well and elaborate. Honestly, this kind of problems really affect my grades.
Secondly, my worst nightmare is poem/literature. I never like this elements of writing. I honestly am amazed with the beautiful words and language in the poems I read but I can't hardly understand it especially the classic one. I am not a creative person so poems/literatures are not my competency. I know that reading can improve my writings but I still think that reading alone cannot help me either. I should create the feeling of like to poetry I guess. But, that seems very hard. For me, it's hard to understand the meaning each poem brings. I admit that some poems have straight forward language, which makes it evidently easy to understand. But, there are certain poems I learn that even after reading it many times, I just could not grasp the meaning that the poem intends to deliver. Should I be a more critical reader in order to understand them?
Lastly, I feel that my English proficiency is really poor. And i think that this fact is the largest contributing factor to all my problems when writing compositions. I would rather kill myself when it comes to submission of assignments. This is because my lack of confidence. But when Mr. Jaferi asked me to create a blog, I found it very interesting. He said that we should not worry about the grammar part, but focus on the idea instead. Truthfully, I really like the idea because it helps me to improvise my flow of idea in writings. Furthermore, it overcomes my problems in lack of confidence. I really enjoy writing blogs eventhough what I had wrote are all craps.

The New Semester....
Assalamualaikum...
Hello world! Welcome to the new semester! This month of July is just another beginning of a new semester in UiTM. We will have a lot of effort to put in order to get good result. It is the time for me to crack my brain. All prepared to brave the though, new semester? Just in case you haven't, there are some of the 'hottest' necessities in book store, so you will look even smarter than Einstein. So, let us barge in and get new stationaries and notepads to prepare us for the 'war'.
What completes a perfect new semester? The packed schedule/timetable to match my perfect new semester...hmm... It is tiring to have class on the evening! Pokwe seems to be enjoying himself though...hmm...However it is always important to study. It is always been known that the best preparation is PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! I want to focus on my study and try to overcome my weaknesses. It is important not to push our brain too much. In order to stay sharp and focused, I enjoy playing futsal with my friends. It helps me too reduce the stress from study and help to keep me fit and healthy.
Study is like a tennis match. Lose your cool and you may actually lose the game (like Federer). being on ther mental edge is the key element here. Mental strength is probably the most crucial weapon. Envision in our mind the success. we need to have the eagerness to do well in this new semester. In addition, we need to keep a healthy nutritien and diet. To start the day, breakfast is important, and i love fruits with my milk and toast- gotta keep that tummy trim! When it comes the time for my classes, I feel fresh and lucky because i finished my assignments early. During the free time, I am going to the library.
Hmmm...not bad! I think i will maintain my CGPA for this new semester. One thing that is great about this semester is that there is plenty courses without final examination because I hate them. However, I must do well for the assignments. i am so grateful because i have someone to look after me. and not to forget my cute little hamsters...I can't wait to see what's waiting for me this new semester. I'll try my best. So, GAMBATE!! and live life fully.
