Let it rip.

so what else have you got?

2009-08-24T15:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wish there's more I can offer you, but this is all there is.

This is me.

change

2009-07-26T09:58:00.001-07:00

all this time you thought that the people around you have changed from who they were.
truth is you are in denial.
it was you that changed.

This is why you are fat !

2009-03-09T16:02:00.000-07:00

A couple of days ago I was dying for a nice big juicy burger. But right now, after looking at the pictures from a blog Merlvyn showed me, I don't think I'll be having any burgers for a while.

The pictures you are about to see contains excessively fatty material and is not suitable for the those with dangerously high cholestrol levels. After five pictures or more, you may experience a knifelike stabbing sensation on the chest as the arteries begin to clog up.

Consider yourself warned.

Let's start this off with a healthy breakfast.

Ham and cheese sandwich topped with 11 egg yolks

and the burgers take over..

Double bacon hamburger fatty melt

Lankford's Gluttoneer
- mutation of a burger if you like

Bacon Chees Pizza Burger
- can't decide which to eat? Have them both!

Sanwich of Knowledge
- Have a piece of knowledge before you die.

30,000 Calorie Sandwich

but why do we need carbohydrates? buns? bread? I say NO! i just want MEAT!

120 Ounce Steak
- Rawrr!

all on board the MEAT SHIP

Turbaconucken
- my fav. A chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, all wrapped in bacon.

still conscious? some deep fried food perhaps. fried chicken? i say NO!

Deep Fried White Castle Burgers

Deep Fried Mars Bars

Code Blue! I'm gonna need a crash cart here.

the boy and his guitar

2009-02-22T09:09:00.000-08:00

Sungha Jung.

I really like watching him play this song. I was already so amazed when I watchd Andy Mckee play it, but coming from a little boy who could barely hold up his guitar it seems, is absolutely brilliant.

this is goodbye gravity

2009-02-20T14:25:00.000-08:00

Bye world.

When I was little, I used to pretend that my bed was a spaceship. Every night I would take off through the roof which would open up like a hatch, for random missions (most of the time it was to rescue a girl on some unknown planet).

There were imaginary buttons at the side of my bed which I would flick to power up the ship as well as order a burger. I remember how the burger would come tumbling down like how a canned drink would tumble down a vending machine.

Once my ship is all powered up, I would close my eyes and picture my spaceship hover around my neighbourhood for a few minutes before jetting off toward the stars.

I never saved the girl because I always end up falling asleep before I reached the planet.

But I'm taking off for good now. I'm leaving this world. I've grown tired of how things work. We are all hypocrites. If we consider everything, we are actually who we hate. I'm tired of gravity. I'm tired of how almost everything is bound under Newton's Laws. Every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction.

I'm off to a planet where perfection is not a myth. This is goodbye gravity.

it's that time of the year to grow again

2009-02-15T06:37:00.000-08:00

I cooked my first steak today. ho ho ho!

The steak was a little dry and I should have used the stock from the steak to make the gravy. Oh well, I still have 2 more pieces to experiment with.

Anyways, I hope I'll grow into the person I've always wanted to be.

grow! grow! grow!

Mother Nature did not leave Cardiff out this year

2009-02-03T16:54:00.000-08:00

It finally snowed in Cardiff today.

Before that, I had already given up hopes of ever seeing white fluffy flakes falling from the sky in Cardiff which BBC weather played a part in (e.g:- Wednesday's summary for 21.00 is set for Light Snow *looks out window* *nothing*)

Anyways, it freaking snowed today. The streets and rooftops were covered in white snow. It did seem like the clouds fell from the sky and just sat there.

So, being the sakai Malaysians that we are, we armed ourselves with cameras (some with tripods as well) and head out to the park at fricking 7 am, before the sun melted away all the joy.

We shook trees to make the snow fall on us, we threw huge snow balls around, some of us even ate some snow!
It must have been a disturbing sight for the general public. Ok lar... probably not as hardcore as you might think.

but some of us really did eat some snow. you know who you are. :P

bar qua

2009-01-29T19:27:00.000-08:00

Oh Bar Qua.

It's been so long since the last time I set my lips on your... sweet, glossy skin.....

All I can think of were the times you would tease me, sitting there in your little transparent TapHerWear next to the Pyne-apell Tartes, with your slightly burnt aroma. You drive me crazy! Some people call you Rougan... but you won't answer to them. No, you'll only answer to me. You'll only answer to Bar Qua...

There were nights where I can not hold back the insatiable craving for the gustatory sensation that you often leave me with.

I would battle through monstrous obstacles to rescue you from the cold dungeons of the RayFriggoRator!!

I'd rip open the package and hold you in my loving hands and you would say, "I'm sorry things have gotten so cold between us."
And I would say, "Worry not my love. I'm here now. Everything is going to be fine."

And with that I would jump on my horse, Amadeus, and race into the forest to find the nearest stove.........

Okay. Lazy to crap already. Basically, what happens in the end is I find a kitchen stove in the Obamas' winter cabin and I heat up the bakkwa and I share it with Barack and he loves it just as much as I do. 20 years after that bakkwa is used as an alternative fuel in America.

See how bakkwa makes people happy?

the most overused pun at the moment

2009-01-25T23:39:00.000-08:00

Happy Niu Year.
PLEASE STOP USING IT. IT'S NOT SMART ANYMORE.

I keep waking up at 7 in the morning. I don't like it. I wish I could, like some people I know, just blog about what they really want to.

But I can paint.
Paint.
Paint.
Paint.

Happy Chinese New Year.

I've a confession to make. I've been taking secret Mandarin lessons to brush up on my um, mother-tongue, if you will.

Why have I been doing that? Well, I just thought, "Hell, I should join a singing competition in Taiwan."

Merya got deported back home already. *sigh*

2009-01-14T23:53:00.000-08:00

If you find yourself here on my side of town
I'd pray that you'd come to my door
Talk to me like you don't know what we ever fought about
Cause I don't remember anymore

I just know that she warms my heart
And knows what all my imperfections are
And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar

2009-01-02T19:52:00.000-08:00

One day people would pay me to have these pictures on their T-shirts, so I can buy you a diamond ring.

I see cracks appearing on walls that we thought could stand tall and strong for a decade. I'm begining to doubt that now. We are begining to tear them down with our selfish hands.

I rolled the ball thinking it would roll because it was round. But it didn't roll. It wasn't a ball in the first place.

Liars.
tsk.

missing trains

2008-12-29T03:49:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas.

Missing trains. I think it is a feeling that I should learn to get used to. The lingering feeling of disappointment that I hate so much and I seem to never learn how to cope with it.

I ran. I pushed my way through crowds. I slipped myself through closing doors. But at the end the outcome was inevitable. They will leave you no matter how hard you try and hope.

I am not who I want to be.

have yourself a merry, little christmas.

2008-12-14T16:51:00.000-08:00

Christmas compilation album (courtesy of Alvin James) link coming soon!

Ho ho hopefully
This holiday will make us believe that
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
And we're ho ho hoping that we all come back
And as a matter of fact I know we're exactly where we're supposed to be
Together by this Christmas tree
-Ho Ho Hopefully- by The Maine

I've written letters to you on the whitest paper, but they all return to me a pale brown

2008-11-30T11:27:00.001-08:00

Hello there.

How have you been? I hope everything is fine. You seem fine. It's been a while. Seems like forever to be honest.

I've been alright if there's the unlikely chance that you'd be interested to know. Nothing much came up this week, which is very much a new low in terms of the amount of fun I had, in comparison to last week. Company was plentiful a week ago. People came down from London and Gloucester for a few days, crashed over at my sister's. Oh, not forgetting the maid, Merya whom we managed to smuggle into Cardiff for the entire week.

Merya should have had more chores to do rather than just preparing dinner, which she did extremely well. Her Egg-wrapped Minced Pork Stew not only sounds sophisticated enough to be on a restaurant's menu, its heavenly taste still lingers on my tastebuds as I am typing this out. Everlasting taste. Metaphorically speaking of course, would have been disgusting otherwise.

Company gave me an excuse to go somewhere, so we went to Barry Island. It's about 30 minutes by train from Cardiff. I can't believe I've not been there before last week. Cardiff Bay isn't the only tourist-sy to visit afterall. Anyways, I love Barry Island. I can't really think of words to describe it but I'll give it a go: Beach, View, Spectacular, Town, Small, Amusement Parks, Fish n Chips, Cliff, Ocean, Horizon, Amazing. That probably didn't give you the exact picture I wanted to paint in your mind, but I'm pretty certain that you'll like Barry Island as much as I do. It's your kind of place. If you'd ever come visit, come in the summer then we could 'berkelah di tepi pantai' just like how we'd used to write in our B.M essays. Our attempt to do so was a complete failure as we were chased away by dogs in addition to the blistering cold winds that threatened to blow us away.

Will you be working during the winter break? How bout in the summer? I've written up my C.V. I'll need it for industrial year placement applications that I should have done by now. I feel like I'm not up for it. Hrmm...

How are your meals? I feel so hungry. It's 10pm and I've not had dinner yet. I wanted to roast some chicken today but my sister didn't wana. Sigh. I'm supposed to fry udon, but I'm feeling quite lazy already. I should probably shower now before I get lazy to do so too. I'll write to you some other time yeah!

P/S: Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal. WOOT! A little lucky I admit, but I'll take it!

Sincerely,
Me.

I see in you, coastlines reaching out
When there's nothing left to reach....
Pull me back to shore
I'll never reach my place.

Dragonball the Movie (2009)

I hope the movie is nothing like the trailer. The trailer has Forbidden Kingdom all over it.

*Fingers crossed*

Today's test was a wake up call for me. The things I'm supposed to do. The things that I have been doing. It's time to pull my socks up to my chest. I shall start by memorising the numerical value of Pi, π.

Here's a video on how to do so:-

2008-11-11T14:15:00.000-08:00

It's so annoying when you've just woken up from a dream and you can't really remember what it was. Bits of it would run through your mind for a minute or two like a messed up slide show. After that, the slides just burn into ashes. It would be weird if we could actually remember every single detail of our dreams. We'd eventually get confused with what's real and what's not. Right? They should make a movie about that. Title: "Dreaman".

Pocahontas *colours in the wind*

What's more annoying is the fact that I actually make it a point to remember my dreams but I always forget. Last night I dreamt about something silly and random. The only slide I manage to salvage from the dream-killing-monster in my head was the one where my sister knocked on a door and Junewong answered, half awake, with heavy make-up on her face.

Went to Nottingham for the Malaysian games last week. It was nice to see so many Malaysians crammed in a place. There were moments where I thought I was in a Malaysian University.

It was a day trip thingy, so I didn't have much time hanging around snapping pictures. It was great fun though, meeting up with old friends.

I really should have taken more pictures around the Nottingham University campus. They've got a spectacular campus. Lakes. Trees. See, it would have been easier if I could just upload a picture.

I'm feeling quite left out here in Cardiff. I need TRAM!

Hello world.

Lectures were cancelled last Monday which meant that I had a long weekend which also meant that I was presented with the get away opportunity!

Destination: Sheffield.

4 a.m on a Saturday morning. The long walk to the train station in the freezing autumn's air reminded me of those early mornings I had to get up to every weekend for work. Nope, this time its different. I felt warm inside.

I tried to sleep through the journey but only managed to sleep for an hour or more. The lights in coaches were too bright I had to pull my beanie over my eyes.

At the Sheffield Central Train Station, I was greeted by the amazing view of a terraced water feature with a water fountain. There was also this steel water fall thingy (a.k.a The Cutting Edge). I hung around to take pictures while waiting for Junewong to arrive. The weather wasn't ideal for photo taking though. Oh well!

When Junewong arrived, we Supertramed ourselves to Yapp-Tammy-Yvann's place. Supertram is so cool. It's like a bus but it moves like a train. It should be called a Supertrus or Superbrain.... or not. Y-T-Y's apartment was so cool and high tech-ed and poshy. It was like living in a hotel suite but without cleaning services. :) Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures of the apartment. Oh well!

There was a street market thingy in the city so we went to have a look. It's like a pasar malam only that the stalls open up during the day. They sold all sorts of stuffs. There were food from different places in Europe.
Food-we-tried-list:

-Belgian? pancakes with Baileys and cream
-shrimps with garlic and olives?
-roast pork baguette!

We Supertramed ourselves to Meadowhall shopping centre (6th largest shopping mall in U.K!). Tagged along for shopping for a bit and went for bowling and Quantum of Solace after. Fell asleep for the first 15 minutes of the show so I was pretty lost with what was going on.

We had dinner at the chinese-mamak-takeaway place which was good. Fried udon pattaya rocks. Although I still prefer Newcastle's TienTien's Black pepper pork chop udon.

On the following day, we had dim sum for lunch. The dim sum was great! We ordered so much that the table was barely big enough to fit the trays and plates that came. On top of it all, Iris, Junewong and Yvann paid for me. :) After lunch we played some badminton which was fun.

Came back down to Cardiff the following day with Junewong's guitar under my arms and Iris's Creative Inspire 5.1 spearkers in my backpack. So many freebies! :)

Iris, Yvann and Junewong come down to Cardiff okay? Dinner will be on me okay (and by me I mean my sister XD)! That's if you guys ever read this. Otherwise no need lah.

Hello world.

and the answer is: no, i can't.

I made some patties from the left over beef mince today. They would have tasted good if they were not too dried up. I'm going to try again tomorrow.

Next week I'll have a long weekend. Good. I'll go some places. :)

Turns out my pencil box is really gone. It isn't really a pencil box. It's the case for my 5 year old watch. A friend once drew "gRrRrr" on it. I might be mistaken. It might have been "gRrrRr" instead. It was a long time ago really. But I never erased it cause I liked it.

Oh, I finally joined the gym.

Intensity in Ten Cities

2008-10-12T18:22:00.000-07:00

I'm blogging because I'm supposed to.

Because the caffeine from the coffee hasn't quite worn off.

Because I my lecturer overheard me complaining how shit his notes were (they were crap).

Because I can really use a guitar right now even though if it meant that I just play the same songs over and over again.

Because I'm tired.

Because I stepped on dog poo.

but mostly just because I'm listening to the song on repeat.

reaching out to the stars

2008-10-01T09:12:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile.

I'm back in Cardiff. A little jet lagged still. Have had 3 days of classes so far and it's not been as good as I would have hoped. It's going to be a much tougher year in comparison to last year.

I think I left my pencil case in the lab today. I hope it's still there tomorrow.

I spend too much time walking around from house to house to Uni. I really need to get my own internet soon.

I often forget that there are stars in the sky. Don't see them very often.
But they are up there, beneath the dark sea.
Reach out to them.

Dark Room

2008-09-06T22:12:00.000-07:00

I went into this room. It was dark and chilly. It's somewhat like being in a cave in shelter from a thunderstorm, you feel safe from what's outside but you are terrified of what you might find inside.

Anyways, I closed the door and the only source of light behind me, took a few steps forward and realised that it's not a good idea to continue walking when all you can see is pitch black space.

So I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, my science teacher's voice rang in my head, explaining how our eyes would adjust itself to allow more light in under such conditions.

I opened my eyes. It took a few seconds but eventually outlines slowly crept out around me. It was as if they were hiding behind the walls and beneath the floors before this. Feeling more confident now, I stuck out my arms like a walking zombie and started each step with a tiny kick to avoid walking into anything.

I just remembered why I am in the room in the first place. A tennis ball. I do not play tennis because being able to serve only does not count. The tennis ball was not given to me and neither was it stolen by me. It is not mine. I do not own it. It just happened to be with me ever since about less than a decade ago. There were times I see it on the table behind the television, sometimes next to the old printer, anywhere really. Sometimes I see it everyday, sometimes I don't see it for weeks. No, the tennis ball is not haunted despite how it may sound like one. Yes, it is just an old tennis ball.

About five steps from where I was standing, I kicked something heavy. My right toe stung leaving my entire foot in numbing pain. I knew at that moment that the wound beneath the toe nail would have to restart its healing process.

Something sitting on top of whatever it was I kicked rolled off, bounced once and rolled further away. The tennis ball. I had half a mind to go chasing after it but decided against it. Instead I just stood there and watched the fuzzy outline disappear. I just stood there.

I am not a big fan of the whole fate idea. To me fate sounds more like an excuse than a reason. However, at that moment I gave in to fate. I turned around and made my way slowly back to the door. I noticed there was a little knob next to the door. I gave the knob a turn and the room slowly filled up with a dull yellow light. I smiled to myself turned the knob the other way and walked out of the room.

Moral of the story: Always turn on the lamp when entering a dark room !

You know that you are no longer a child when you no longer have the privilege to have the crab's pincer during dinner. Maybe we should really act like it.

Something Random

2008-08-25T09:42:00.000-07:00

I know I've not been updating. I just don't feel like I've anything to blog about. When I feel like blogging, I couldn't.

So here it is. Something random.

Blog Make-over

2008-08-10T22:34:00.000-07:00

Yay!

Finally I've got a new and nicer template. However, I can't take any credit from the change because I did none of it. XD

Anyways, Thank you Fiona!

She changed literally everything for me (even the Cbox colours and fonts) in about 2 hours and its done. Such a pro right? She should probably consider running her own 'blog make-over' show, like how there are so many other "reality" make-over shows around. Oh, but her's would be real "reality" of course.

BTW, you'll have to pull down the top section to get the links and Cbox.

2008-07-30T09:10:00.000-07:00

I think I've finally figured out why I can't get myself to update; I need a new template. I'm so sick of this green dinosaur.

So I went to Paris. It was good. It was like being in a postcard. Seriously, the pictures (well the pictures I took with my lousy camera, at least) does not do the scenes justice. Being right under the Eiffel Tower, standing right beside the Arc of Triumphe was, "Wow...."

Sorry la so sakai.

I grew increasingly frustrated with my camera because I wasn't able to get what I saw with my own eyes to appear in its LCD screen.

Anyways, lately I've been TRYING to play some songs on my guitar. Youtube-ed this and that and, voila ! I came across this guy, ScottTsai, who has pretty neat guitar skills. Just a little proof how good he is:-

He jammed with Tommy Emmanuel ! !

Who is Tommy Emmanuel? He is this:-

A Day Late

2008-06-30T17:57:00.000-07:00

During my stay in Sunderland I met a lot of my sis's friends.
Here's Sasha the Slug.

Sis: Pour salt on it and watch it squirm ! It's really nice to watch.

Leaving my sis's place tomorrow which would mean I will be internet-deprived till I reach back home, Kuching. I hope I'll be able to keep my sanity till then..

Hrmm...

*10 minutes*

Hrmmm....

I've got so much I want to say but I don't quite know how to put it all down here...

So lazy to draw also... Next time lah. I need a book to read.

We are who we were when;

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

2008-06-13T07:52:00.000-07:00

Woot!

I have come to realize that packing requires some thorough planning, it can't be done too early or too late, you can't pack everything up or not pack enough.

And so..I slept duvet-less and with a half-pillow (because the pillow has reduced to half its orignal size) last night. Didn't get much sleep...

Anyway, the past few weeks have turned me into an otaku. I think I've watched almost every relatively good anime show. The one that I am currently watching is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

This 14 episode series has won several awards and is regarded as the most popular anime in Japan. But to be honest, I only started watching it after I finished watching Lucky Star, a comedy anime, which made countless references to the popular series.

XD
Of course, not forgeting Aya Hirano, the voice actress for the Haruhi character and Konata Izumi in the Lucky Star series.

I have never really bothered bout politics, but with the recent ridiculous hike in petrol prices, I am pissed!

Well... the good news is the Dragon Ball movie is no longer a rumour. The bad news is this picture has crushed my hopes for a mind blowing, breath taking adventure.

Looks like some freaking ciplak DVD cover.

Well, I guess at least if the movie does turn out cheesy, as most would expect, I won't be too disappointed.

Anyways, I'm so free now. I need some stuff to watch.

Anime.
Sitcom.

Please recommend!

I am so sleepy. I just woke up.

Exams are in less than two weeks time and I am no where near prepared. I keep watching Yakitate!! Ja-Pan. It's the bread making anime which has caused me to be more adventurous when I go shopping for some bread.

This is the Pain de Campagne loaf with cornbeef+egg+cheese stufifng that I made. I eventually realised that it wasn't the best way to eat the bread, at least not in one sitting.

Can't Open Mouth

2008-04-20T14:43:00.000-07:00

As I was procrastinating moments ago, I came across a video on youtube my friend had made, a compilation of some of our senseless work which was our main source of entertainment in our school days.

This video had me laughing tears:

I'm sorry Naichen....

Stay awake and I'll stay

2008-04-19T12:44:00.000-07:00

I've just woken up from my much needed 4 hour nap. Prior to that, I worked for 7 hours !

The boss asked if wanted to work an extra 4 hours, with the thought of how much extra money I'll earn in mind, I agreed.

So I had 4 hours of dusting furniture and wiping hangers, extremely simple in comparison to my usual job. I mean it. However, despite the sheer simplicity of the task, doing the same thing over and over again for 4 hours could take its toll on one's sanity. Having said that, I hope I get more extra hours in the future.

Stay Awake - Lydia

'...so cover up for the rain
You see in way too much safety
Cause I don't stand a chance
Any longer than you do my friend
Cause we sure know best
Now that you're gone...'

the Line ripens

2008-04-09T17:19:00.000-07:00

Caroline, June and I at Cat Wings.

It's Line's birthday today. Another ripe fruit in the basket! Won't be long now till we have enough ripe fruits to make a fruit salad, if ya know what I mean. ;)

Anyways,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLINE ! !

><><><><><><><><><><><><

Woke up this morning still feeling a little depressed with last night's football match. I figured I should channel all these bad emotions somewhere. So I did countless push ups and lifted chairs till my arms were shaking. I feel better now. *Babel is a dirty piece of shite.*

It 'snowed' on Monday.

I want real snow. I don't want falling ice cubes.

The sad story of two penalties.

2008-04-08T14:32:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it. I can't fucking accept this.

Liverpool - Arsenal = 4-2 aggregate.
Liverpool go through to the semi-finals of the Champions League, undeservingly so.

It is bad enough that Arsenal, plagued with injuries on a good number of their key players, had to play Liverpool's full strength squad two matches in a row before this match. But there's nothing unfair about that, it's just luck going against Arsenal yet again.

But the thing that is totally unfair, biased, unjust and BLATANTLY WRONG is this story about two penalties. In the first leg, an Arsenal player(Hleb) was literally dragged down by Kuyt in the penalty box but for some reason the referee disagreed with the rest of the world.

Just look at that arm wrapped around him.

And of course in the second leg, just a few hours ago, Arsenal leveled the score line, 2-2, with a magnificent goal. Walcott ran almost the entire pitch, steamrolling 4 to 5 Liverpool players before he slipped it to Adebayor who poked it passed Reina to give Arsenal the away goal that would have carried them through to the semi-finals. The perfect goal.

But it did not end that way. A minute after kick-off, Liverpool's first attack found Babel, he makes a run into the penalty box and collapses as if he was shot by a gun. I looked across the screen for the referee, and he pointed to the spot.

The penalty that should have never been given. *If you disagree I will kick your teeth down your throat*

I can't believe it. The feeling of being hard done by is just so devastating. I was filled with an overwhelming urge to chew down the beer glass in my hand.

This is just not right. I am absolutely gutted.

Dashboard Confessional Acoustic Solo Show @ Solus, Cardiff

2008-04-05T12:52:00.000-07:00

Chris Carrabba from Dashboard came down to Cardiff to perform yesterday. John Ross did the opening act for the gig.

I must say that I didn't expect to wait as much as I did throughout the show. A bunch of drunk Welsh boys behind me did not help ease my impatience. Apparently, I look like Hiro Nakamura because I could see them, from the corner of my eye, making constipated faces and shouting "YAA-TAA ! !".

I waited for almost 2 hours before the John Ross guy came up to the stage. He played one song after another and there came a point where I was a little worried that I am not at the right show. But halfway through his 5th song, a guy walked up on stage and sat behind him. It was Chris! At that moment I had this urge to do something which I had no idea I was capable of - I wanted to squeal like a teenage girl. Well, you'll hafta forgive me because it's a first time thing for me. I've not even been to a gig before.

But of course I didn't squeal, and the performance wasn't as awesome as I hoped it would be, which is probably due to the fact it's an acoustic show and not a full-band performance.

I didn't take much pictures because I used up most of the memory recording clips.

This very day, 21 years ago, a little fruit *ploop*-ed from a tree, and today this fruit is ripe.

...*so lame*

Anyway, I've got some pictures of her. This was when she was still green.

Aww... sho cute~

But it's her birthday today! So she disco-dances with John Travolta.

I put some make up on her too!

Ok la. None of that makes sense. But it's June's birthday so I get away with that.

JUNE HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! ! !

You can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man

If you are bored, I've got a few good clips for you watch:

I like the Saturday Night Fever walk. It's cheesy and cool at the same time.

It always amazes me how they manage to do all that. Check out the movie sound effects.

Easter Reverie

2008-03-25T13:27:00.000-07:00

I'm on easter break now and I've all that I've done since the break is watch a bunch of goofy teenagers with their Mexican friend in a 70s comedy show.

I got back from Shrewsbury last Friday. I don't care what Lilian says, Shrewsbury is... small. On top of that, every single place in Shrewsbury is named after Charles Darwin. Darwin Library, Darwin Hospital, Darwin Museum, Darwin's Kebab House, Darwin's Fish and Chips; Darwin was EVERYWHERE! Turn left, you'll see Darwin's face plastered on the wall. Turn right, a potrait of darwin on the wall. Well, at least now I know Darwin was not from America.

I fell on my ass walking down the hill after a surveying task. I walked around the rest of the day like I've just had a bad diarrhea in my pants.

You know what I need right now? I need a good movie to watch. Something inspiring and unpredictable. Not a spoof/slapstick comedy, or an underdog turned champion movie, or a low budget horror film.

I need a good story. I need a retarded man who could change the world by running non stop for a few years of his life or a doctor who believed that humour is the best medicine in the world.

Btw, I have to write a "Letter from Abroad" by the end of this week. Honestly, I've no clue what to write about. There's not much or nothing at all.

Good band with a good sound. I don't know why I keep relating them to High School Musical. Despite that, I really like them. There's a girl in the band which is always good, regardless of if there was a band or not. ;)

The return of the green hat man

2008-03-10T04:29:00.001-07:00

I had a bad week at work last week.

On Saturday I woke up an hour late for work. Luckily there was a guy who helped me out.

On Sunday, I had to use a crappy hoover because 2 other guys came 1st and grabbed the only 2 working hoovers. So I bitched about it to my boss because it's not possible for me to hoover the biggest floor with that crap of a sucking machine. So my boss called up the guy on the 2nd floor to ask him to swap hoovers with me. Haha. The look on his face was priceless.

Anyways, I was so happy with myself to end up being on top of things until the hose of the hoover snapped. It literally broke away from the machine because I may have tried a tiny bit, little, itsy too hard to reach for the bit of carpet behind the furniture.

Brilliant. I snatched the hoover from someone and broke it in two.

That's my boss. I can't help but notice how shiny his belt buckle is. That is the hoover. I swear, every single hoover in the UK looks just like that.

It was Mother's Day last Sunday, but only in the UK. I think it's abit odd that such an occassion isn't celebrated on the same day internationally. I would think that mothers are not very different regardless of where they are from.

This is a good Mother's Day song. No, not by Spice Girls.

http://www.last.fm/music/Between+the+Trees/_/She+Is...

And this song won an Oscar recently.

"...fair play to those who dare to dream and don't give up. And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are."

feels like my birthday again

2008-02-22T04:37:00.000-08:00

Yay.A birthday card arrived today!

Lol. I've been going to my mail box everyday for the past few days. Some days I'd go twice. I don't care how sad that sounds. :P Actually today I was about to give up being hopeful of receiving anything. It's not really good for the morale, digging through big fat colourful envelopes to find your name not on any of them.

Thanx Glo, Daphne, Kev, Yewinn, Naichen Theo. YES I miss playing futsal at Stakan and esp with you guys.
XD. Champ did promise he'd ship over a kawaii-Jap-schoolgirl though.

No, Theo. I'm still straight.

This is another card I got from a few guys in Cardiff. Abit girly though I must say..
Thanx LipSing, Alan, Isaiah, Jeffrey and Jeremy.

My Arsenal jersey is stained forever on that day when Man Utd gave them a 4-0 beating.

Champ... I'm still waiting for my kawaii present.

HELLO SIR ! I TELL YOU NO POK ! !

2008-02-16T10:36:00.000-08:00

yay.
The big mile stone birthday.

Thanx for all the birthday wishes. I really appreciate it. I suck at remembering birthdates so when someone remembers my birthday I am truly moved.

Anyways, it's nice to have a spot on calendar that belongs to you, like owning a parking space in a big corporate company carpark.
Okay, I'm not sure how that feels but I reckon it should feel pretty darn good.

A beautiful day should always end with a beautiful song. Like a musical minus the extras.

Each time I listen to this song, I picture a sequence of scenes that would match this song perfectly. A perfect music video. But I won't say what it is. XD

Divine Intervention - Taking Back Sunday

No. It's nothing like this video.

All in love, with stolen hearts

2008-02-13T11:24:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day. A day which is heavily associated with "love".

"Love" is a myth which, if it is real, would start off something like this:-

There is a guy.
He is right here and he must admit he has been pinning for her. She is his wish and when he touches himself he conjours her. From when they talk all night and the minutes are free, he just hopes when he casts his spell she'll be falling for him.

He asked her, "Would you believe me if I told you that I'm surfacing for one thieving moment to steal your heart?"

He added, "I will never let you fall. I'll stand up with you forever. I'll be there for you through it all. Even if saving you sends me to heaven."

The girl couldn't resist his charm. They got together. The boy was delighted obviously. Everyday he would sing, "Girlfriend now. I have a girlfriend now! No way, no how. How'd I get a girlfriend now?"

Unfortunately for them, the boy has to leave home. This means they would have to be separated by oceans and mountains.

So, the boy told her, "Please save this for me. I'll come back for you like I promise to. Please take this for me. For until I return, my love will burn and my heart will stay."

And just as you'd expect, they broke up. The boy can't help but think about, "....all we were, all were all we could have been, me and her. All we had, now I see it's not coming back..."

The boy came to me for advice. I told him that he'll be just fine, pretending he's not. He's far from lonely and it's all that he's got.

I told him that f ate is an elegent, cold-hearted whore. She loves salting his wounds and enjoys nothing more. He bleeds confidence from deep within his guts now and that he's the king of this pity party with his jewel encrusted crown.

Now all those feelings, those yesterday's feelings will all be lost in time. But today you've wasted away, for today is on your mind.

Happy Valentine's Day.

It's nine in the afternoon, and your eyes are the size of the moon

2008-02-11T11:28:00.000-08:00

Nine in the afternoon - Panic At The Disco

I'm rather disappointed that they removed the "!" after "Panic". But the new single sounds good and their music video is just as crazy-costume-filled as ever.

Deep Impact

2008-02-10T16:50:00.000-08:00

Saw this sign at the lingerie section at work today. I found it quite amusing that 'impact' levels are used as a measure of comfort for sports bras. Maybe its just my understanding of 'impact'. When I think of impacts I'd think of the collision of really massive things.

On the other hand, I've seen gargantuan (super fcking big okay?) bras on sale as well so that explains quite abit.

And just in case some of you may think that I'm a sick pshychotic bra-hunter, well, I'm not. I just happen to work at the women's section.

The Kill (acoustic)

YEAH!

2008-02-07T04:37:00.000-08:00

yay. CNY.

Honestly I don't feel the CNY mood at all.

Anyways, here's a good example why, in my opinion, the guitar is the most versatile musical instrument.

Ok. This is Boyce Avenue. They're not popular, NOT YET at least. And you can confirm they are not popular when Champton and Alvin have not heard of them.

But I reckon they have a good chance to be a mainstream music success. Let's face it, they have the looks (not that I agree with that being a factor) and their music is radio friendly.

2008-02-05T11:35:00.000-08:00

I was watching Bourne Supremacy lying on my bed and talking to Bernice at the same time. I was telling her how much I regretted cooking and eating so much for lunch. So, after a few minutes she appeared at my doorstep with a glass of Ribena in her hand. Yeah, it's supposed to make me feel better.

As I was sipping the glass of Ribena I just realised that Caroline lives next door.
*shrug* I went back to my bed and fell asleep in a matter of seconds.

I woke up and finally realised it was another weird dream of mine. I continued Bourne Supremacy.

I've been dreaming alot lately. Almost evertime I sleep. I should keep a dream log to record all my dreams. Amidst all the randomness, there could be a deep revealing message to it all.

Lesson to be learnt:
1. Check your mail box regularly.

2. Open your mail.

3. Read your mail.

Emoute of the Day

Love, love, love love, love, love
Whoo!

You were everything I wanted.
You were everything a girl could be.
Then you left me brokenhearted
Now you don't mean a thing to me
All I wanted was your
Love love love love love love

Hate is a strong word
But I really really really don't like you
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you
Brought you around
And you just brought me down.
Hate is a strong word.
But I really really really don't like you.

Yay new template !

Nice?

Like?

I like.

Period.

Anyways, thanx to Daphne!I asked if she could fix it for me When I woke up the next day, there it was; breathing fire all over! So yeah, she's very expert with template fixing already.

Sleep? What is that?

2008-01-28T18:23:00.000-08:00

Sleep is very important boys and girls. Sleeping at the right time is even more important. Really.
During my brief break from lectures, I've managed to turn night to day and vice versa and the fact that it gets dark at 4pm here didn't help either. I was living in the shadows of the earth for a couple of days straight.

Its 3 am now. I slept at 9pm and woke up an hour ago. My plan to reset my bedtime to default settings didn't work. Won't it be cool if we have a button somewhere on our body where we c0uld give it a little poke to set everything to default settings. Just like a router, you know? Say if you are a nice dude/dudette turned asshole, you could just give the button a little poke and you'd go back to your nice ways.

I woke up at 2am today. Woke up at 4 am yesterday. I am hungry.

I want to watch Cloverfield. I'll watch it this Friday. I've been watching alot of movies lately thanx to ovguide.

ok. I've obviously ran out of inspiration to blog. I'm going to get something to eat.

Daphne's getting me a new template! thank god.

This call is meant to be brief
A simple hello ending with goodbye
Then you say hello, now I am melting

And now my goodbye becomes a goodnight

I'm so tired. My eyes they burn. The one on the left feels like it's about to pop out. It hurts.
Maybe it's bleeding inside, blood seeping out the the eye balls...slowly filling up my head with dark red liquid that burns like how your face burns when you stick it in a pit of red hot charcoal or how it burns when you have to sit on a toilet seat made of dry ice bare ass-ed, which ever you prefer less. If i'm lucky the blood may flow out of my nose or ears... otherwise....
otherwise.....

On a lighter note, here's what happened to my knife when i tried to cut some Tesco mature cheese.

And here's a link to the band that's dominating my playlist for the past couple of days.

The End of another Chapter

2007-12-31T05:19:00.000-08:00

12.18 pm - Just woke up. Feeling a little nostalgic and emo. Well, it's the last day of the year so who can blame me for that? Really. Chiodos is playing. Intensity in Ten Cities. It just sounds real nice today. New Year's resolutions? Well, one of them would definitely be fixing this Fcuked Up template. Was just indirectly invited to some dinner thing this evening. Really hate indirect invitations, you are not really sure if you're really invited.

I'm not the one that you want, I'll always let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for myself'

1.20 pm -
Took pictures of my keychains making out at 3am. Got bored with Sketch-up assignment. I keep procrastinating. Anyway, FYI I've got a weekend job as a cleaner at Marks & Spencer's. I get an hourly pay of 5.5 and i work 5 hours a week. It's just about enough to pay for the weekly groceries which consists mainly of frozen food. Two and a half hours of hoovering the entire floor is quite a burden both physically and mentally. So I've found ways to entertain myself since I can't Sony myself. I look for small hard objects to suck (....I know how that sounds...) because it makes a *Clink* sound when it goes into the hoover. And each time that happens, a voice in my head would shout, "Score!"

2.28 pm - What have I accomplished this year? I can't think of anything really... I think this year could be divided into several non-miscible phases so it actually feels like a few years have passed.
There was the phase where we would go out for suppers + futsal + Damai-ing + Matang-ing.
There was of course CNY where we'd go visiting and all the fun stuff that comes with and of course not forgetting the CNY lunch at Gloria's place (..Sheperd's pie), it's almost like tradition.
There was also the time that I worked in a law firm for 3 months which felt more like 3 years.
There was the decade which I had nothing to do but draw graffiti on Facebook.
Oh, not forgetting the moment where we planted the friendship seed at Darren's house. I always symbolise that as a tree and we are seeds from that tree being scattered all over the world. I still think we should have planted a tree right next to the time capsule. BTW.... when was it exactly did we plant the time capsule? 1/1/07 at 1.11 pm?

12.03 am - Happy New Year. Just got back from dinner at someone's place. On my way back, 2 guys were walking in front of me. The next thing I know, they opened their mouths and were kissing each other.... Zzz..
Happy New Year... so much fire works going on outside but I'm so tired and lazy.
It doesn't feel right. There's no BBQ...

Remembering Sunday

2007-10-06T06:33:00.000-07:00

Its nice and cool today. I love it.

Classes are alright so far. The only thing I didn't like was the size of the class. There are about 150 students in my class so its not that easy to get to know people.

Anyway, I'm going to play futsal later! :) Yeah... I don't know why but I can't seem to think of things to blog about and I don't want to blog bout what I did just now or yesterday or the day before etc. etc.

But I want to blog right now and it's because of a song.

Forgive me I’m tryin' to find
My calling
I’m callin' at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl
She's been runnin' through my dreams
And it’s drivin' me crazy it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it’s startin' to all make sense
Oh I can see now
That all of these clouds
Are following me
In my desperate endeavor
To find your whoever
Where ever she may be

(then she sings)
I’m not coming back
[Forgive me]
I’ve done something so terrible
I’m terrified to speak
[I’m not calling I’m not calling]
But you’d expect that from me
I’m mixed up
I’ll be blunt
Now the rain is just
[You’re driving me crazy]
Washing you out of my hair
And out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world
From so many thousands of feet off the ground
I’m over you now
I’m at home in the clouds
And towering over your head

I'm leaving tomorrow and I won't get to see home for a year. Actually, it feels like I've already left, having gone to the airport so many times to watch friends walk through the imigration gates, I feel that I've already said enough goodbyes. And to some it seems like they've already said their goodbyes long ago.

Which is harder, being the one that leaves or being the person who has to watch people leave?

Jack's Mannequin - Bruised

I've got my things, I'm good to go
You met me at the terminal
Just one moe plane ride and its done

We stood like statues at the gate
Vacation's come and gone too late
There's so much sun where I'm from I had to give it away,
had to give you away

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Lie every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast.
Oh, pilot can you help me?Can you make this last?
This plane is all I got, So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised

I lace my Chucks,
I wal the aisle I take my pills, the babies cry
All I hear is what's playing through The in-flight radio
Now every word of every song I ever heard that made me wanna stay
Is what's playing throught The in-flight radio,
and I and I am, finally waking up...

Music Mends Broken Hearts

2007-09-10T01:46:00.000-07:00

Has anyone of you heard the Hey There Delilah song by Plain White T's? Well who hasn't. Its been playing on the Hitz.fm several times each day, for a few weeks already.

I could still remember, about two years ago my friends and I were playing the song on our guitar and singing along in Damai. Who would have guessed that very song is getting so much airtime and is even going up the charts today.

It saddens me that it took so long for such a nice song to make it past all those artists who do not play their own music and sign million dollar contracts with label companies that tells them what to sing and what not to.

Then again, who am I to say who deserves to be on the radio better. To each his own, yeah? But to those who do not mind listening to songs from bands that you've not heard of (yet?), I have a treat for you.

Champton and Alvin have compiled a mixed tape you can download from this link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/s4xk6c

First Person to Land On the Moon

2007-09-08T01:02:00.000-07:00

"The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo programs, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16. 1969, it carried Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11-

I have recently discovered that wikipedia is not that reliable because this part about who actually landed on the moon first is, in fact, false.

The truth is, the first person to set foot on the piece of rock that has been orbiting our planet for God knows when (literally), was not a Neil Armstrong (Jeez, just because he had a real powerful arm...) but a beautiful young girl from Beijing, China. Her name was Wong Yue Chang'e and she left the sole marks of her little slippers on the surface of the moon some time around 2036 hours, 2170 BC .

Now, if you were to Wiki this little piece of information, you would come across not one or two versions of how it actually happened, but a friggin' FIVE versions. Forget Wiki, I shall tell you what REALLY happened and because you deserve to know the truth.

Summer of year 2170 BC, it was the holidays but Yue Chang'e, being a very studious person, was in her high school library memorising love poems from the "Love Poems for Dummies (Mandarin Version)" for a test she would have to sit for at the start of the new term.

Chang'e was a very beautiful girl...very bootifu. In fact, she was the first freshie to be crowned Prom Queen in her high school. Anyways, Chang'e was single despite her glamorous looks and the only close guy friend she ever had was this boy, Lim HouYi.

Lim HouYi did not have many friends in school. He was a chubby boy who could not play badminton (all the hot guys could play badminton), but for some reason, Chang'e always saved him a seat next to her in the library.

Anyway, this is getting abit draggy so I'm going to skip the part where Chang'e and HouYi fell in love with each other because Chang'e thought that HouYi had the most amazing eyes (because they were bigger than those of the other guys) and HouYi simply just felt that Chang'e was 'so bootifu...his heart is skips a beats'.

Eventually, Lim De Papa, HouYi's dad found out that HouYi and Chang'e were dating and was furious. He felt that Chang'e would distract HouYi whom he believed would become a very famous inventor of a device that would aid navigation in the dark.

De Papa came up with a plan to get rid of Chang'e without killing her because that would be wrong. He met up with a notorious witch who lived in the Forbidden Forrest. No one knew her true name but she was often called AhPoh Loh, which means Old Lady Loh.

AhPoh Loh gave De Papa a potion that once drunk, the drinker will fly all the way to the moon and to the moon only, in exchange for 3 goats and a hen. De Papa, without wasting anymore time, organised a cocktail party at his house and invited Chang'e only.

Yeah, it's getting predictable. De Papa mixed the potion into Chang'e's Margarita and she flew all the way to the moon and she landed and made history that was forgotten.
(Oh, before Chang'e took off, De Papa handed her a huge birthday cake with a nice bean paste globe at the centre of the cake, and he said to her, "Sorry man, but I can't have you here distracting my son and all. Here's a birthday cake for all the birthday celebrations you are going to miss.")

When HouYi found out what happened he went bonkers and he just hid in his room for weeks to find a way to get Chang'e back. He only came out of his room on Thursday nights to watch 'One Tree Hill'. Then one day, he finally got it! The device that would assist him in rescuing Chang'e!

A paper lantern that could light up your surroundings with a range of about a metre in radius and only with a single lit birthday candle placed at the base of the lantern! Ingenious!

Unfortunately for him though, it rained every night after that.

Who would have thought that Apollo missions were named after an old witch?
And nows you knows !

spaghetti

2007-09-05T23:13:00.000-07:00

I just cooked spaghetti. It's only my second time and its not so nice cos I think I put too much meat and I prefer mozzarella cheese to Parmesan. i love the how the cheese stretches!

Gluttony

2007-09-02T07:39:00.000-07:00

Today I had dinner at the Lok Thian Thai Restaurant. I didn't want to go because dinners at restaurants would take about two hours and that would mean that I will miss at least the first half of the Arsenal vs Portsmouth match.

However, I was hopeful that, if I ate as fast as I could when the rest are busy talking, the dishes would be served much faster and I would only miss 15 minutes of the match.

So I ate and ate as fast as I could! In fact I was so busy with eating that I snapped at the waitress whom I thought was going to fill up my half filled glass of ice water with chinese tea. The waitress continued to fill up my glass and I was so embarrassed when it was actually just plain water in the pot.

Yeah. It wasn't a good plan at all. I went home half an hour late and I could only stare at the cakes with wonderful toppings at the end of the dinner. Pure torture!

Hey, that's a nice picture! Can I be in it?

2007-08-02T21:26:00.000-07:00

Okay. There's a picture on the wall and it gives out a glow even in this room which is well lighted. It radiates a warmth that could even give life to the dead.

The picture has no frame. It doesn't need one. But it hangs on the bare brick wall, so small that it could barely cover up a brick. It doesn't need to be big. It looks huge. In fact, I can't even see the wall anymore.

The picture is simply perfect. It looks better every time I come back to look at it. There's something about this picture that deserves my undevoted attention. The attraction is just crazy. I can't even walk away without turning back several times to have another look, afraid that I might forget how it looks like even though I know that is impossible to forget.

I'm crazy about it.

There is one big problem though. Every time I picture myself being in the picture, it doesn't seem right. I look like crap. I slouch, my shoulders droop like and overloaded clothesline, my belly hangs loose over my belt, even the colour of my hat turns to a dull shade of green.

I guess somethings are just meant to be admired from a distance.

Wah fixed!

2007-08-01T06:48:00.000-07:00

It's fixed!
Many thanx to Fiona!

Last night I dreamt of something.
It was so real I could even taste it.
Really. I could taste it.

Wrong number

2007-07-29T01:27:00.000-07:00

I was playing Winning Eleven on my laptop when my phone vibrated. “0320932931” appeared on the screen.
I thought, “What the fuck. A KL number calling at…” checks the clock, “…2 a.m!”

“Hello”

“ Hi, Steven ah?”

“No, I’m sorry but I think you’ve got the wrong number.”

“Oh yea. You from Kuching ah? Really ah? Like in Sarawak?!”

“Uh yeah…” I recall now. This is the same person who called last week at around 3 in the morning.

“Can I make friend with you? I am a Malay guy. You speak Malay? *crunch**crunch* ”

WTF. He’s eating chips while talking to me.

“Uh… nope…What is it actually do you want? I think you’ve got the wrong number”

“No no… I just wana make friend, you know. I from KL. Can we make friend?”

“No I don’t think so.”

“Like that ah…ok lah. Good night.”

Fuck. That was freaky. I barely had time to wrap my mind around it when another call came through again. Same number.

“ *sigh* Hello.”

“ Hello. Steven ah?”

“…….You just called. You’ve got the wrong number lah!”

“Oh no no no no. Who are you? What is your name? Can I know your name?”

“….Stanley.”

“Oh Stanley…Boleh cakap Melayu Ke?”

“Tak pandai la. Hey, Where did you get my number?”

“ uh…uh.. from friend, Daniel.”

“But I don’t know any Daniel…Seriously, where did you get my number?”

“..Actually I just simply dial number lah. I just want to talk okay. Can talk or not? Where in Kuching do you stay?”

“ But I don’t even know you, man…Sorry we can’t talk.”

“I…I worried lah..you know. Can talk la.”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“ Ok lah. Good night”

This is one creepy guy. Does anyone know how I could trace the number?

2007-07-27T04:38:00.000-07:00

I have, finally finished reading the entire story of the boy wizard who lived, Harry Potter. Around 6 in the morning today, it hit me that this is actually it, that there won't be anymore tales of Hogwarts, all the hocus pocus, expelliramuses, expecto patromums and most definitely, no more life threatening adventures of the boy with famous the scar on his forehead.

No more. It left me feeling quite empty today, mostly because there are no more pages to turn from the Deathly Hallows book, something of which I have been doing most of the time for the past few days. The ending was quite...different from what I have expected. I expected it to end in a way quite similar to the Bartimaues Trilogy, another overwhelming story if you like Harry Potter if not better. In short, I am quite pleased at how Rowling ended the saga for us.

But all is good. I am currently psyched!

Pysch is a new quick-witted drama about young police consultant Shawn Spencer who solves crimes with powers of observation so acute the precinct detectives think he's psychic -- at least that's what he lets them believe. The mysteries aren't really mind boggling or anything like that but it is quite funny. James Roday plays Shawn Spencer well and the only person who I think could do better, is Jim Carrey.

SO F*CKING HAPPY

2007-07-24T07:50:00.000-07:00

Ooooooooooh my!

I am absolutely happy. In fact, I soul radiates a blissful and jubilant aura. And with that aura, flowers bloom, the air is filled with the fragrance of the fruits and flowers, the birds begin to chirp ever so melodiously, as I walk outside into my garden. Even as I walk down the steps, sparkling <insert alcohol drink of preference> cascade down with every step I take, creating a little waterfall flowing happy water. Oooh, I'm even oozing with joy.

Love Today

2007-07-22T23:25:00.000-07:00

I've really gotta say this, at a very high pitched voice;

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,
Love love me, love love me, love love.
Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di.....

So catchy.

Welcome to the Mayday Parade II

2007-07-12T01:20:00.000-07:00

Addiction has evolved into obsession. I listen to them every time I'm in front of my laptop. Mayday Parade plays in my head when I go have my meals, when I go to the bath room, when I'm watching the Ellen Degeneres show, when I sleep and dream bout riding ponies over rainbows.

Heck, if I ever manage to start a new country, the national anthem would be "I'd Hate To Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About" from the album. It just feels so fahking good singing along with the song. It's so overwhelmingly emotional that it would make the people of feel orgasmic-ly patriotic for my country, Maydaysia.

Someone give me another band to get obsessed over quick, before I start eating Mayday Parade album covers for lunch.

I'd hate to be you when people find out what this song is about

2007-07-10T09:38:00.001-07:00

You know you are pretty messed up when you take about 10 minutes just to think about how to reply to a text message.

Lipstick Lullabies

2007-07-06T02:35:00.000-07:00

I'm free. No more paper cuts. No more screaming psycho clerks (pronounced as clurks). No more files, bankruptcy documents and formal letters.

Despite my early retirement, I still have to wake up early this entire week. I woke up at 4.45 a.m this morning to send Chee Sin off and had breakfast with Theo and GayboyYunHan at MacDonald's in town. Han rasa he's still in New Zealand and wanted to order pancakes. In the end he had a happy meal. Luckily no one else was there to see me with him carrying his Shrek happy meal box to the table.

So say hello to all the boys at the top of this table that your under. Lipstick lullabies. This is sorry for the last time and I understand that your making new friends, this is how you get by. The moral this time is, girls make boys cry.

I've just downloaded both the Mayday Parade's albums. They are my latest addiction.

I thought we could wait for the fireworks.

But it's another night, and another dream wasted on you.

to whom it may concern

2007-06-28T05:29:00.000-07:00

Fuck you.
Seriously.

Can anyone of you recall the last time you've been genuinely happy. As in having no worries whatsoever. As in, when you wake up in the morning you are really positive and damn sure that nothing that comes your way today will upset you, not even if the sky fell down over the car that ran over you, NOTHING will ruin your day because you are just so bloody happy that you'd even donate half of your savings to the blind man playing tunes on his keyboard at the side of the road.

Well, honestly, I have felt that happy before. I was once that fucking happy despite it being rather brief, I could for the first time then, declare that I was happy without a second thought.

No, keeping yourself entertained will not count as being happy. So when was the last time anyone of you actually have been genuinely happy?

today i saw someone. but she didn't see me. at least i think so.

So there's no need to mention who it was that i saw.

I'm sitting here, typing this entry, wearing only a towel around my waist.

It's so airy...so windy...so....ticklish. Feel like tiny fingers feeling up my groin.

It's starting to get quite cold.

Appreciation and the Bomb

2007-06-18T08:16:00.000-07:00

Quite some time back I was tagged to blog about 6 weird things about myself. I think it's 6...or was in 7?

Screw it.

Anyway, the quantity is irrelevant. Weird things about self:-

1. I have only one weird thing about myself.

2. Today, as I was walking to my mum's office, I caught a good number of people staring at me. The first thing I did when all the staring started to bother me, which was purely unplanned and instinctive, was felt around my fly with my involuntary hands to check if it was wide open and inviting gazes like guests in a housewarming party.

I've no idea why I did that. Can some one please tell me? You know, with all those feng shui masters and those face readers, palm readers, mole readers or any other part of the human anatomy for that matter, I'm sure some one out there could tell me my future based on the mentioned intuitive reaction.

I sub-consciously check my fly when people stare at me, so please! SOMEONE tell me what sort of a man I would become...or which side I should lie on when I sleep.....or a woman with what sort of intuitive reaction should I marry to enjoy a prosperous and happy marriage....or..........

help me. my life hangs in the balance.

Day Job 9 : all I hear is what's playing through the in-flight radio

2007-06-05T07:32:00.000-07:00

Today I told the boss I'm quiting the job at the end of this month. She agreed to that at first and also to my request for a testimonial, but later in the afternoon when I went back into her room to drop off some files, she told me she can't let me off that soon cause my help is still required.

*genitalwords* I don't even know if I could even put up with the emotionally unstable clerk till end of this month, what more till whenever she's planning to let me go. Sigh. I should fking ask for a pay rise to compensate for trauma I suffer 6 days a week.

I've got bruises on my legs and hips which were results from playing futsal mixed with a little wrestling with ShengWei yesterday.

No Gayshit comments please.

Oh, got some international student scholarship thing frm Monash. Now I don't know where to go again. The worse part is, I've no time to even give it much thought.

Tomorrow I'm going solo, the clerk taking a day off.

Pretty Handsome Awkward

2007-05-28T07:22:00.000-07:00

I like this feeling.

This feeling, it's ticklish. Feels like ants crawling all over, except my toes and fingers. Them, I can't feel. I tried to make a fist with my right hand but I cant feel it. Did I make a fist?

Wait, I think I can focus that feeling to where it's coming from. Some where about the shoulder perhaps.

*slap*

I slapped my shoulders with my hands, at least I think it was with my hands. All I can feel is the stinging of my shoulders. Not my hands. Still nothing there.

Maybe it's not the shoulders. No, I don't think so now. It's slightly lower. Around the back perhaps. Oooh there it is! The back, the spine! Ahh... my hands, they tremble...every muscle in my body is twitching..what's happening?

Ouch. What was that? It felt like my brain was pulled out of my head and dropped into a steal bowl, tossed about, and dropped back into my head. Not the entire process but just the feeling when the brain is back in the head. The short, sharp pain. Totally sudden, totally unantici-Ouch-pated. There it is again!

I don't really like this feeling anymore...

It's going in, deeper and deeper. Seeping through my bones making them rattle. Piercing my lungs like a thousand needles, slowly as though the needles were taking turns. Breathing is much restricted. Vapour formed each time I exhaled.

This feeling has reached my heart. Any moment now, it's going to surge right through it.

...

The feeling hesitates. That's quite unusual, as though it is in doubt. Circling my pathetic little heart as though unsure what to do, caught in the dilemma between sympathy and callousness.

"Speak to me, oh little woebegone creature. My mind is split by thoughts of sparing your wretched soul and diving into your forlorn figure to devour you from within," the feeling spoke in its low, apathetic voice.

The rattling of bones seized.
Deafening silence.

My heart looked up and spoke, "I am the heart. Once radiating with hope and love, I am now nothing but a dejected sack of sorrow. Cold feeling, devour me from within just as part of your mind have suggested."

"So be it..."

Mr. Ah Mui handed me my gubak mee with something jumping around in the soup. I stared at it and I think I wasn't very successful with hiding my disgust and horror of a bug enjoying a warm bath in my soup. But I'm thankful it was still jumping around the bowl as the only other way I think I'd notice its presence would be to taste it.

Only finish downloading the album yesterday and it's lived up to my expectations so far. The Used is just like My Chemical Romance, only 3x more emo. :P

The song that has the highest potential of going mainstream is probably 'The Bird and The Worm'. So if you're lucky, you might get to listen to it on Hitz.fm, Jason Lo's mychoicemychoicemychoicemychoicemychoicemychoicemychoicemychoicemychoicemychoicemychoice, 2 months from now.
