Oh, I so wanna be Donna!

For those who watch Suits series would know what I am referring to. I actually enjoy watching court drama or investigative kind of series. I think the first court drama I watched was LA Law. I can still recall the series montage where the car boot was close and have LA Law license plate on it. That was so cool back then.

I also love watching Law & Order, CSI (my favourite now is the NY version as Horatio is getting too annoying and CSI Vegas without Grissom just lost the magical touch), Blue Blood (still can't believe Danny Whalberg of NKOTB has no hair!), The Good Wife, NCIS to name a few. Can't watch Criminal Mind though, too explicit for me. Scary!

So when Suits started, I fell in love immediately. Harvey the cocky lawyer, who is so full of himself and yet see talent beyond just a piece of paper called degree (and it has to be from Harvard, mind you), or Mike, A Harvey wannabe however, tried to show he has more integrity than him when he is turning into Harvey by day, or Louis, the guy the whole office love to hate, we have one like that in every office kan. Or for the ladies, wanting to be Jessica, an iron lady who have to keep on proving herself, Rachel who can easily be a top lawyer just by using her dad's name but decided to work her way up. Or your choice is like me, Donna, the awesome and amazing PA for Harvey. Her character is the most interesting one, in my opinion at least. The way she speaks, how she handles stressful situation, how she zasss back those who tried to be funny, is just so different. At times, when I watch her scene and relate it back to the work I do, I would secretly wish, why didn't I respond to some not so pleasant individuals the way Donna did. 

Suits also shows what office politics are all about. Would not want to elaborate on that since I am sure for those who are in working world would know what I am referring to.

I love Suits and can't wait for Season 3 which will start in June/July. As always, the end of Season 2 is another cliff hanger and a steamy cliff hanger indeed. That filing room scene which I am sure it will not be shown in Malaysia.

For those who have yet to see it, watch lah in channel 702, Diva. Can't remember when and what time, sila rujuk laman sesawang Astro.

Yes, I so wanna be Donna.

An eye opening trip - Interesting things happened in Oxford and Cambridge

Before we made our move to the next city aka London, there are few things that happened in Oxford and Cambridge that I would like to share with you :

1. Oxford

• I did not share this with anyone until the day I safely arrived home. While sleeping in a hotel at Oxford, around 2am suddenly the lamp shade next to the TV just vibrated. I was too tired to even feel scared and the only reaction I gave was sshhhhh......... The vibration did not stop, so I got up said ssshhhhhhh and just hold the lamp shade. It stopped vibrating and I just went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, to be honest I was not sure whether I was dreaming or what happened was for real.
• I love Oxford. Oxford is a place I can imagine living in, raising my kids and grow old there. I love the buildings, the serenity of the areas and the fact that I can walk or cycle everywhere
• If I see my schedule, I don't think I have the time to visit the Harry Potter's dining hall. But knowing Ilham would be disappointed if I didn't take photos of this place, I went there for about 30 minutes in between meetings. Snapped few photos and then left for the next meeting
• While the scholars took us for a tour, a Hindi movie was doing their filming. The main actor is Akshay Kumar and I get to see him in action. We were not allowed to take any photos though, the security sangat garang! And guess what, Akshay and the crew were also staying in the same hotel as we do ;)
• Another interesting thing in the hotel we stayed, we are not allowed to use mobile phone at the dining place. You need to use the phone, you leave the hall

2. Cambridge

• The structure of town are better organised, unlike Oxford
• Cambridge has a shopping mall right in the middle of the town. Since I am not really a shopping mall person, this did not excite me at all
• The hotel we stayed in gave is this spray and roll on which are supposed to help us sleep. I took that with me so that it can help me to sleep in other cities. I have this problem not able to sleep other than my own bed. Alhamdulilah, it worked in other hotels.
• The ipad2 was launching the same day we were there. The launch was supposed to start at 5pm but the queue started at 7am!
• We went to this morning market and was greeted by a sales girl. Knowing we are malay, she quickly asked us whether weather we are Malaysian. Apparently she has been in Oxford for the last 18 years

All and all, the 2 meeting locations are very beautiful. Next stop, London City\
