Doggy Thoughts

Reminder to self

2011-08-04T21:06:00.002+08:00

Everyday is a new day

Don't dwell on yesterday's failures

Keep on moving forward!

...Even if you have to crawl...

Most of all,

Don't let anything anyone says get you down!
Even if it's your boss!!

Restlessness

2011-04-21T23:41:00.000+08:00

It's been too long. Can't stand all this staying at home and not accomplishing anything feeling. I need to get back on my feet and start doing something useful. God, please help me!

New Blogshop: i Heart Cotton.Candy

iHeart Cotton.Candy

Fun with the new Facebook profile layout

2010-12-14T02:23:00.003+08:00

My first thought when I first saw the recent profile changes on Facebook was that there's less privacy as all details would be listed right on top of the page, just below the user's name. No way was anyone going to convince me to voluntarily switch to it!

But I've gotta eat my words now thanks to this article on Gizmodo.

Alexandre Oudin's

All I can say is brilliant. The artist, Alexandre Oudin, has deffo inspired me to attempt his ingenious idea :)

Excerpt from Gizmodo:

"For anyone who wants to copy his style, all you have to do is block the other photos you're tagged in and upload photos to your profile pictures album that are the exact size (yes, down to the pixel) of the display on Facebook and voilà!"

Mine!

I had a bit of trouble understanding the tip at first and so decided to tinker around a bit. This was the final way I used:

First off is to block tagged photos and to make a screenshot of your Facebook profile. Adjust the screenshot opacity so that it's semi-transparent. Insert a photo, align it into the photo areas and crop the areas you'd like to use. It helps if you have a photo editing software such as Photoshop. Once you get this sorted out, upload them into your profile photo album and start tagging! Remember to tag the photo that is supposed to appear at the end of the photostream first.

Or if trying to align all the photos is too much of a pain, even this looks pretty cool :)

My first attempt

What do you think?

Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra

Saw these videos 'bout a month ago and am still addicted to to them! Ga-in is just too hot! :D

Summer Updates

2009-09-25T16:26:00.000+08:00

Hi all! Disappeared for quite a bit huh? First off, I'm back in Msia!! :) Have been in KL for the past few days and will be heading back to the beloved island on the 28th. Thanks WK and XM for having me! :)

Prior to this I had travelled a bit to a couple of places in south England. Cornwall, Winchester, Cheddar, Burley and Canterbury to name a few. For those who know me personally, pictures are on facebook! For the rest of you, here are a few for your viewing pleasure!

Falmouth, Cornwall

Seafood at Truro, Cornwall

St.Ives, Cornwall after the rain

Yummy scones!

Land's End, Cornwall

Cathedral in Winchester

London

It's a regret of mine to have not toured certain parts of Europe before coming back. The land of legalized weed, Amsterdam, especially. Places like Barcelona, Brussels, Greece, Malta and Turkey that were also on top of my to-go list were also given the miss. Oh well, I'm glad to have at least visited Berlin. Deffo one of best cities ever! I'd go back anyday! :)

Till next time! Adiós!

Summer Adventures: Liverpool

2009-07-09T12:29:00.000+08:00

Woo~ Came back from Liverpool a few weeks ago and it sure was awesome! Thanks Mel, for sheltering, feeding and walking this dog! :)

It was about 5pm by the time I reached Liverpool so Mel and I just hung out at the park-like area above the mall, Liverpool One before having dinner in a nice Italian restaurant called Pesto. What we didn't know was that Pesto specializes in tapas (snack portions) resulting in us ordering a dish each. It was only when our orders came that we understood and so opted for another dish plus a dessert. Recommended for its good food, warm ambience, and friendly staff.

Yummy food @ Pesto

Drinks @ Fly in the Loaf

We were blessed with good sunshiney weather on the second day and went about checking out the sights. As usual, I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

The Anglican Cathedral

The famed lamb banana (Though why it's a symbol totally eludes me)

Just as we were approaching Albert Dock

The yellow duck - On land

Floating happily without a care in the world

Albert Dock

More of Albert Dock

Echo Arena - Location of the MTV Awards

From one of the bridges overlooking the Echo Arena

Italian food @ Gusto, Albert Dock

The next day was spent shopping and lounging in the sun at Liverpool One. No pictures cause I'm too lazy to mosaic out our faces lol. But it was fun, and I love the sun! :) Anyway, a few more pictures from our late night outing and I'm signing off.

Notice the faint car light effects? Lol.

The really nice stairway leading to L1 park

Atop L1

Freedom!

2009-06-05T05:42:00.009+08:00

I'M FREEEEEE~!! Exams are finally over!! Hahah. There's so many things I could do, where do I start?

On one hand, there are the non-productive activities such as going on drama marathons and lazing about in my room, and on the other hand, there's the more productive activities such as brushing up on my writing, and giving those creative muscles a chance to flex. Then there's my mess of a room to clean, laundry to do, and a CV to perfect before the jobhunt starts. Hmm.... I guess the decision will have to wait till tomorrow?

Until then, my bed and movie filled laptop calls.

Signing off with a bit of gay news from the animal kingdom that I saw on Yahoo! this morning:

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090603/tod-gay-penguins-hatch-rejected-egg-86d1698.html

Proves further that sexual preferance is not a choice, it's just a natural occurance that we have no say on, and that being gay doesnt affect us being good parents. So, why do many still discriminate against gays and oppose gay marriage? Chew on that.

Ta all~

Halfway through!

2009-05-21T03:46:00.001+08:00

2 papers down, 2 more to go! And an assignment which I've yet to start. Lol. Well, at least I can now get rid of these!

No, I didn't read them all (the horrors!)

Hang in there, you can do this, scoob! PERSEVERE!! Only a couple of weeks to go and that's it.

The end.

So please, please dear self, please do not screw anything up!! You know very well the next two are trained killers, so please buck up! Don't wanna be shot dead do ya? Ain't gonna be a pretty sight. So stop lazing about and only feeling the heat as the next paper draws closer and closer. Start working now!

On another note, it's been getting dark later and later. Below is a photo taken at 9pm two weeks ago. 9pm this week looks like 7pm in M'sia.

9pm, Sunderland

Hmm... I wonder what time the sun will set today...

Differential Agar Plates

2009-05-09T05:20:00.001+08:00

Remember the colourful differential agar I mentioned in an earlier post? Wondered how they look like? Here are some pictures! :)

my work bench

Circle of colours

They have got really cute names too - Rose Bengal, Bromo Purple, Brilliant Green, Nile Blue, Basic Fuscin, Acid Fuscin, Crystal violet, and of course the normal one, YEPD Base. Of these, Bromo purple is the most fascinating as growth affects its colour.

My ultimate fav

Makes spending time in the lab more bearable don't you think? ;)

The Veronicas - Take me on the floor

2009-04-11T17:26:00.001+08:00

....is my current favourite song thanks to a certain someone who played it in the wee hours of the morning ;) As a matter of fact, I fell in love with the whole album. Check out this video of Take me on the floor!

Lyrics in case you wanna sing along to it ;)

The lights are out and I barely know you
We're going up and the place is slowing down
I knew you'd come around

You captivate me, something about you has got me
I was lonely now you make me feel alive
Will you be mine tonight?

Take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can't take it any more (dadada da dadadada)
I want you, I want you, I want you to show me love
Just take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can give you more (dadada da dadadada)
You kill me, you kill me, you kill me with your touch

My heart is racing as you're moving closer
You take me higher with every breath I take
Would it be wrong to stay?

One look at you and I know what you're thinking
Time's a bitch and my heart is sinking down
You turn me inside out

Take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can't take it any more (dadada da dadadada)
I want you, I want you, I want you to show me love
Just take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can give you more (dadada da dadadada)
You kill me, you kill me, you kill me with your touch

I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna kiss a boy
I wanna ...

I wanna kiss a girl (do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya)
I wanna kiss a girl (do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya)
I wanna kiss a boy (do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya)
I wanna kiss a (kiss a, kiss a, kiss a)

dadada da dadadada
dadada da dadadada
dadada da dadadada (oh)

Take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can't take it any more (dadada da dadadada)
I want you, I want you, I want you to show me love
Just take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can give you more (dadada da dadadada)
You kill me, you kill me, you kill me with your touch

Take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can't take it any more (dadada da dadadada)
I want you, I want you, I want you to show me love
Just take me on the floor (dadada da dadadada)
I can give you more (dadada da dadadada)
You kill me, you kill me, you kill me
Please don't stop!

Spare some time for a prayer, thankyou

2009-04-05T07:53:00.005+08:00

First it was my grandmother. Now 4 months later, after spending two weeks in and out of the ICU, it's my grandfather's turn. Two grandparents in the space of less than half a year. *Sigh*

And why is it that things have to happen while I'm away? Everyone just keeps keeping things from you because they don't want you to worry. He actually passed away on Wed but it was only today that they finally told me. It's such a bad feeling to be unable to be there during their last moments, to pay my last respects. The funeral is due to start later today according to M'sian time and I only wish I could be there... Guess I can only support in prayer. He hasn't accepted Christ as his saviour so it'll be much appreciated if each of you helps pray for his salvation.

Dear God, please let his suffering end with death. Save his soul, redeem him o' Lord. Let him know peace. Hear our prayers Lord. We surrender him into your hands. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Our God is a loving God, a patient God and merciful God.

Ask and you shall receive,
Seek and you will find,
Knock and the door shall be opened.

It's gonna be a mad, mad week

Final Season of The L Word - Season 6

2009-03-23T02:58:00.001+08:00

Okay, so who thought the finale sucked? Or the most of the season for that matter?

The whole thing just felt a bit rushed. There wasn't enough build-up, wasn't enough tension. Not to mention, too many loose ends! I thought the parade thingy at the end was plain weird. With everyone smirking like that, it'd seem as if they had all plotted to kill Jenny together. That is till Jenny appears, smirking right along with them.

Being a Jenny fan, I've always found her rather amusing and that her crazy side somehow adds to her charm. The way the producers spent the whole season turning Jenny into this malicious, destructive bitch that goes about destroying all her friends' lives was really sad. Perhaps the intention was to give every character a motive so that we'd be left guessing at the end? I do believe they could done it another way though. A way that doesn't require completely destroying a character to the extend where everyone is glad to be rid of her. And that no one would mourn her death. A tragic end to her already tragic life.

You will be missed Jenny Schecter.

And oh, did I mention? I ♥ Lucy Lawless!

The L Word Online has full episodes of Season 6 but if you've missed the last few seasons, watch it here! :)

Sunshine at last!

2009-03-18T10:25:00.002+08:00

Like the title says, sunshine at last! And in more ways than one.

After so many months of fruitless labour, on Friday the 13th, a supposedly unlucky day, DNA bands showed up on my gel! Words cannot describe how happy I was. I started off this project in November, a month later compared to my other classmates due to some communication problems between my supervisor-to-be and my course co-ordinator and it's been quite a rocky road since. So far, the DNA extraction method has been changed 4 times, primers switched once, the number and type of strains of the microbe I'm working with as well as the concentrations of primers/MgCl2/DNA adjusted and tested countless times, and about 4 different PCR run times tried out. Over time, my project has evolved to include more methods of obtaining data. For example, using the colourful differential culture medium that are so unique and fascinating that they induce production of endorphins :) Ok, that sounded quite 'sua pa'... But don't mind me, colourful things tend to attract my attention.

While a part of me groans ''Oh no, more work!'', another part is extremely glad to be given the opportunity to try new things. And surprisingly, I find myself wanting to do well. Most of you know that I never did like Biotech and that I'm not the least bit bothered about acheiving anything. That I just want to do reasonably okay, get a job, earn some capital and set off on my quest to do English instead. I never had the passion for science. No wait, scratch that. I did when I was in high school, but that disappeared. Especially after I took up a job in a laboratory. It was then that I decided that the life of a scientist wasn't for me.

But somehow, somewhere amongst my tangle of interests and suppressed desires (sounds damn wrong lol), perhaps lies a scientist raring to go? I don't know. I just don't know anymore. Guess the best bet is to sink back to my usual take-it-as-it-comes routine. Seems to have worked fine so far. After all, no plans = no pressure. The only downside is that no plans = no motivation too! And no motivation = laziness = likely failure. And being a failure is not something I'm inclined to be!

Hmm, that didn't sound very sunshiney did it? Sorry, got carried away. Anyway, it's been rather sunny up here for the past week! Sure, it's still cold and the winds could probably blow me away if I attempted to open an umbrella but heck, at least there's sunshine! On mornings when I wake up earlier than usual, after drawing the curtains, I'd just stand there, soaking up the sight of the sun rays reflecting off the windows, the clear blue sky, and breathing in the cool crisp air. I love how it just brightens up my day, how it makes me feel happier, more energetic, more full of life! And oh, the dogg is no longer treading on thin ice! Cause the sun melted it all away!! Lol. Ok, enough crap. It's way late so i'm off to bed. Nights all! And selamat pagi South East Asians! ;)

Pick one!

2009-03-07T20:46:00.007+08:00

Doggy Thoughts has a new banner! If you haven't already noticed of course. Lol. It's not much different from the old one tho'. Same outline, same style. The only difference is the pictures ~~(Yes, got a bit lazy there).~~

Come to think of it, I think I like the old one better. Damn. So yeah, thoughts?

Random Shiznat animation

2009-03-02T05:48:00.007+08:00

Was looking through my Doropanda Tours collection this afternoon and attempted animating one of the scenes. I'm an amateur so it's a rather simple one. Hope you guys like it :)

Happy SADay / Vday!

2009-02-15T03:50:00.002+08:00

Happy Single's Awareness Day to all singletons out there and Happy Valentines to all you lucky attached ones! Lol.

While my past few SADay's have been mostly emo-ridden, this year's quite alright. Woke up late, had a healthy lunch made up of digestives and oat bake bars, then settled down comfortably with Absinth truffles, a spot of the christmassy jam I bought from the Christmas market in Germany, some Absolute spiked juice, and a couple of feel-good movies. Rewatched 'Grey Matters', 'Imagine Me and You', and 'Out at the Wedding'. Ah, bliss. Of course it would be better if there was someone to snuggle up with but heck, I can make do. Will be having dinner later with the men in my life. Herbal soup is the order of the day. Just perfect in this wintry weather. What else could I ask for? :)

I like it rough

Happy CNY!

2009-01-28T08:34:00.001+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! May this be a good year for us all!

So, I'm sure some of you are wondering how I celebrated cny this year. Well, Wk and I went to Manchester with our society members for the weekend. And in case you're wondering, no, we didn't visit the infamous stadium. Nor did we visit any tourist spots. In fact, the sole reason for going down was to check out the nightlife and nightlife we got! Lol. It was way awesome. Till the last part of the night where I got pissed drunk, threw up all over the place and had to be carried home, that is. Don't even wanna think about it lol. All I can say is that scoob is in need of a good antivirus software. System needs a clean-out and brain.needs.reformatting.immediately. Lol. No more alco for me for a bit.

Anyway, because we were already tired out by the time we reached home on cny eve, we opted for Chinese take out. It was pretty good. Nothing close to home of course but acceptably good.

It's times like these that I miss my family and friends even more. Festive seasons just aren't the same without them. Sure, there's skype to webcam on, msn, phone calls back home and so on but it just ain't the same. In fact, sometimes webcam-ing only worsens things. Seeing all those familiar faces, well, I don't quite know how to describe it but yeah, you get the idea.

Oh well, I guess that's part of growing up. Hurrah for life. Lol.

Insane Ramblings

2009-01-22T11:36:00.002+08:00

RAWRRRRR!!

Just felt like being random all of a sudden. Lol. It's 3am in the morn over here so please forgive the insanity.

Have been feeling a bit moody and uneasy these few days. And damn confused. Very, as some of you might know. Ich denke ich mag dich. Warum? Wie? (courtesy of pz lol) Ich bin gestresst. So yeah, another pointless post. Back to my *#!~$/ critical review due later today. Somebody save me! :'(

On another note, CONGRATS BLAMMER! XD

Little Miss Procrastinator

2009-01-14T07:24:00.003+08:00

Scoob has this friend and my gosh, what a procrastinator she is! 4 freaking assignments and none down. Thus far, she has done everything but. Lazing, partying, chor tai ti-ing, facebooking, fan fictioning, blogging even. Just name it, she's probably done it. Amazing ain't it, how everything poses as such a distraction?

Only a few days ago, she discovered this movie called Drifting Flowers and spent the whole day obsessing after watching it. Googled, Yahooed, Limewired, and torrent searched for it's soundtrack to no avail and so decided to load the music from YouTube. Well, once in youtube, why not spend a bit of time watching other amusingly useless videos? Or maybe gush over some hot new talents? By then she'd have probably stumbled upon another exciting movie or drama series to watch and obsess over and the whole process starts again. A rather relaxing cycle I must say. But only if those assignments of hers were out of the way.

I do believe Mendol is her current obsession at the mo. One of its soundtracks, 3 seconds, has been on repeat for the past hour. But that's only because she couldn't find the other soundtracks. Pathetic ain't it?

And so, after wasting another day, desperate, she appealed for help. And help appeared in the form of this blog post. Warning all others about her folly while helping to ease her troubled mind. How that works I have no idea. It just kinda does. Now then, won't someone please shake and slap some sense into her? The more violent the better.

Muchas Gracias!

Winter Break: Berlin

2009-01-07T01:09:00.011+08:00

After 3 days in Prague, we headed to Berlin on the DB Bahn train. The journey was a scenic and relaxing one. Not as many photos on this trip as we only spent 2 days here. More like 1 and a half in fact.

The Fernsehturm (television tower)

The infamous Berlin Wall

The Reichstag Building aka. The Parliment

Looking down on the parliamentary area from the top of Reichstag Building's dome

Erotic Museum

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

The Berliner Dom

The Siegessäule (Victory column)

The famous Gendarmenmarkt Christmas Market

The concert hall at Gendarmenmarkt

We stayed in the Globetrotter Hostel while in Berlin. When we first saw it from the outside, the first impression was of haunted hostels and horror movies. That impression deepened when we walked into the reception cum bar. Yes, bar. With dark lighting and creepy soldier skeletons as deco. Can you imagine just how freaked out we were? Thank God the room turned out to be reasonable enough as it was clean and spacious.

The dark and creepy hallway

What a change of scenery from Prague eh? One tells of old times. Of fine craftsmanship, unsullied by the technologies of today while the other tells of modern city life while rebuilding and preserving history. Of superior technology. As for myself, well, I personally prefer Berlin. It's a place I will definitely go back to someday.

Winter Break: Prague

2009-01-06T20:54:00.019+08:00

Hello all! Firsts firsts, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Just got back a few days ago after a 2 hour drive from Southampton to London and a 5 hour train ride from London's Kings Cross Station. It's been a really fun trip albeit a lil' tiring. Don't think I've ever done so much walking in my life! Lol.
Anyway, check out the sights in Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We took a whooping 700 photos here! Can't possibly post them all so here are just some highlights.

Entrance to Prague Castle
(Notice the brutality of the statues atop the gateway?)

Just like in London, they're not allowed to move

St. Vitus Cathedral, located in the Castle grounds

Inside the cathedral

One of the freakier statues lining Charles Bridge

Czech cuisine for lunch

The Astronomical Clock by day

By night

Interior of a museum. Looks more like a palace doesn't it?

Yummy Greek food!

Reminds me of the Walt Disney Castle

The Dancing House

One of the 5 bridges across the Vltava River

Prague Castle. Taken from the other side of the bridge

Well, being students on a limited budget, we chose to book one of the cheapest hotels available- Residence Casa Italia. And of course cheap hotels also means that it's probably small, cramped, not too clean, and God knows what else. We were however pleasantly surprised. The place was so huge! And the owner extremely friendly. He actually took the time to write down the key places for us to visit and recommended cheap and good places to have our meals. Very good PR, I've gotta say. Plus, the hotel was only a 5 minute walk from the nearest train station. All in all, a really good place to stay. I'd definitely go back there if I ever make another trip to Prague.

The sitting room. You can see the 2 bedrooms straight ahead.

One of the bedrooms

The kitchen and dining area

The bathroom. The shower area is just behind this mirror and sink

Now, like most things, Prague does have its downside. It's people. They were generally rather unfriendly, rude, and all things not nice. The only exceptions were the hotel owner and his family, as well as the owner of a souvenir shop (where we bought most of ours). It really was quite a turn-off. And it is this that would make me think twice about recommending Prague to everyone else. A beautiful city filled with not so internally beautiful people.

Look out for the next post on Berlin, the city of modern technology.

Happy Birthday Shizuru!

2008-12-19T10:20:00.001+08:00

Happy Birthday Shizuru!! I'm sure Natsuki will make it an extremely special one! ;)

EDIT: Picture added!
Scanner is not working at the moment so i'll edit this post later on with a drawing of the two ;)

Winter Break

2008-12-16T23:19:00.000+08:00

Current song:

Winter break is almost here! Prague and Berlin, here I come! My first ever overseas trip! Well, besides Singapore approximately 11 years ago. But that's not counted! Lol..

Got quite a few activities lined up this week before I leave. The *cough* party on Tues, a sports and games afternoon at uni on Wed (free food!), and a Christmas dinner with a few friends who won't be joining us for the trip. Mel reaches on Thurs evening and on Fri, we're off~ Hope all goes well during this trip. Will be in London for both Christmas and New Year so if anyone is about just holler! I'd love to meet up! :)

Till then, Merry Christmas everyone! ^^

Of badly cut hair and uh.. hair

2008-12-07T15:06:00.000+08:00

One word of warning, never, I repeat, never ever attempt to cut your own hair. And especially not using only one mirror, and definitely not while chatting on msn. The effects are sure to be disastrous! Trust me. Lol. And if you still decide to go ahead with it, make sure you have a cap handy! Or lots and lots of gel/wax to improvise on it.

I'm so wearing a cap for the next few weeks!

Winter wonderland

2008-12-06T02:00:00.002+08:00

I awoke on Thurs morn to this!

On the way to class

And the serene atmosphere after class.

Before it was disrupted by a huge snowball fight between us biotechs and our biomedic classmates ;)

With over 21 years of experience, we were no match for them! It was extremely good fun tho' :)

Brrr...! Watch out!

2008-12-02T23:45:00.002+08:00

What a mad bunch we Malaysians are!

It started off when the three of us were startled but a sudden banging on our kitchen window. Looking out, we saw one of our coursemates pointing at the sky excitedly and saw that it was snowing rather heavily. Of course this being our first time, the first instinct was to rush out to jump around in it. But common sense prevailed when the blast of cold air hit us. We all ran to our respective rooms, grabbed our jackets and ran down again into the snow!

Scene from our doorway

Snowball fights and dumping of snow down each others’ backs ensured. It was so crazy! We were all running about, screaming, flinging snow at each other and taking pictures. I saw a few ang moh’s looking out at us from their windows. Probably wondering what crazy people would actually run into the cold. In shorts and slippers too! Omg! My hand and feet were totally numb after that! Hahaha… I’m still on high as I’m typing this so don’t mind my ridiculous excitement. Pictures will be up on Fb soon.

poser XD

Our fun wasn’t without drama lol. In our excitement, none of us had brought our keys and I didn’t jam the paper properly to prevent the door from closing so we got locked out of the house! Thank God one of our housemates whose room faced the outside hadn’t decided to join our madness! Otherwise who knows how long we would have been stuck outside! Lol.

A few minutes after I had gotten into my room, it started snowing again! I was about to knock on WP’s door which was next to mine when it opened and another friend came out. This is the conversation that followed.

Me: It’s snowing again!

CT: I know!

Me: Are you guys going out again?

CT, WP: Of course!

The four of us then ran down only to find the rest already posing for pictures and engaged in more snowball fights. Lol. It was one hell of a night. Wonder if the snow will be deep enough to cancel the project meeting tomorrow ;)

Pointless ramblings

2008-11-30T20:30:00.000+08:00

Restless. So freaking restless.

Fingers are itching, body tensed from pent-up energy, knots happily bouncing about in the stomach. Unease courses through the veins, confusion through the arteries, both meeting at the heart, causing an unexplainable murmur? I think my facts are all wrong. Where are the doctors when you need one? Pharmacists? Biomeds? And biotechs that actually study? Lol.

There's this urge to blog. About what I don't know.

Anything.

Everything.

So many things to be said, so many that can't be said.

It's like treading on thin ice. Gotta becareful of it'll break and you'll fall. Fall into ice cold water. So cold that it first shocks you awake, then as you struggle about, overcomes you, saps your strength away, till relishing the numbness, you slowly surrender.

Confusing? Ought to be. I'm confused after all.

And thus, this absolutely pointless post. Don't mind me. Scoob will be back soon. Hopefully.

Retroviruses acting up

2008-11-29T00:47:00.004+08:00

Currently listening to:

It's happening again.

My palms are sweaty, my head gets blurry, and I can't think properly. My senses are on the alert, adrenaline is pumping. I can't stop checking back. Can't stop being so aware of every move made. There's this lump in my throat, tingles down my neck. I can't take it no more. Someone please slap me! Throw cold water on me! Anything to break me out of this ridiculous trance I'm in! Thank God there's no disruption of oxygen or obstruction of blood flow yet. Nor that stupid smile when going in for the kill. Am taking it as a good sign lol. Maybe it hasn't set in yet. I certainly hope so. Life is good the way it is! I don't want any more complications!

And no, it's not denial, WT. At least I hope it's not. Please let it be not. Lol.

Coloured a picture of Shizuru to refocus my thoughts. Not my best efforts as I got a lil' distracted somewhere in between. Drawing is not mine. Dug it out somewhere from my ~~massive~~ collection and coloured with CS2.

Think that life hates you? Read on. And if it's not enough, read Mel's blog

2008-11-24T07:58:00.007+08:00

So yeah, disappeared for a bit there. Too much stuff to be dealt with for the past few weeks. Too much of a rollercoaster ride. So many highs and lows, all mercilessly one after another. First came the worrying news from home. Then, pushing it aside, a great Halloween, followed by devastating news from home the very next morning. It left me in shock. I couldn't even call home for fear of breaking down. When I did the next day, they told me she had passed on. Was such a wreck but had to pull myself together as there was an assignment due that week.

RIP, I just want you to know that although I don't show it often nor do I ever say it, I really do love you very much. They told me you left peacefully and for that I'm glad. I know you're in a better place now. No more suffering, only peace and joy. It still pains me that I couldn't be there during your last moments, and that I never really got to say goodbye. Tears still feel inclined to fall whenever I think of you, or even when I see things that remind me of you. In fact, they're falling even as I type this. But I know I have to be strong and move on. That's what you'd want me to do. And I will. I will. It'll take time, but I will.

Things got slightly better form then on. On the eve of my birthday, my friends cooked dinner plus surprised me with a cake. Felt really touched and happy. And so I turned 21.

Then came more wonderful news from home. My sister had been admitted into the hospital for ultraventilation a few days ago, couldn't eat, and was therefore on drip. Mum was exhausted spending every day and night with her, and dad had to play househusband as my bro couldn't help out due to SPM. I was so worried. Bad spell of misfortune? I don't know. Could only pray and surrender everything to Him as all things happen for a reason. I truly believe in that. There has been so many incidences where things have gone horribly wrong for me, and yet, He always showed a way. I've come to realize that in each, there was a lesson learnt, something to make me stronger. To make me a better person. Each time, I'm reminded of His awesome power, mercy and grace. And I know that I'll never be alone as He'll always be there to carry me through hard times...

Anyway, my sister has since been discharged, although still weak and can't eat much. At least she's on her way to recovery and that's all that matters. As for me, passing up the two lab reports that were due that same week was such a relief. Now I finally have some time to breathe and allow myself to focus on the family. And oh, not forgetting little amusements along the way like watching "La Boheme" the musical on Fri, and having a combined birthday dinner with Ranz in Newcastle.

p.s. Winnie! I've received your card! Thank you so much k! :D I opened it in the kitchen, read the first line, and quickly closed back, deciding to read it in the room lol. Me iz loves yous! ;)

Only Crazy People Attempt to Search for the Beach at Night

2008-10-27T20:11:00.000+08:00

Why is it that whenever the three of us are together, we end up doing crazy stuff? Lol... Like rowing in the cold for example, or the two of them teman-ing me for the LGBT pub crawl. That really meant a lot guys :) Thank you!

Anyway, this time around, it involved CAMPUS hoodies, a steep, almost pitch black staircase, getting lost, and trying to hold in a full bladder. I'm not gonna get into the details but we somehow ended up at CAMPUS before dinner to get our free ~~(terms and conditions apply)~~ hoodies.

Taking the ~~colder~~ more scenic route along the river, we soon came to the bottom of that bridge you see in the picture and the only way to get back to the main road was this extremely dark and steep stairs where we were only able to see 4 steps ahead and looked as if it just came out of a horror movie! Y'know, the kind that you'd think "Why is the hero/heroine so stupid as to walk there as something is so obviously going to happen". But it was either that or walk all the way back to where we originally were. I kept praying and praying that all would be fine lol. "...Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me..." Psalm 23:4. Thank you Lord!

The view

The next plan was to explore the beach in Seaburn as we still had our Metro tickets from rowing in the afternoon. First thing we saw worth photographing was Fulwell Mill. After walking some distance and not seeing any beaches, we stopped to ask some people who happened to be leaving a nearby restaurant. Turned out that we were walking in the opposite direction! :( The lady pointed a road further up from where we had came from and told us that the beach was about a mile's walk from there. A whole mile? In the dark? On a full bladder and an empty stomach? Make that an extremely empty stomach as we had used up lots of energy for rowing. That's when we decided we'd come back another day. Probably when we have to take the Metro for rowing again.

Fulwell Mill

After a satisfying dinner, the three of us huddled into Wk's room to camwhore with our newly acquired hoodies! ^____^

Faces censored as usual

Till then, ja~

Whutta Spendrift!

I Kissed a Girl Parody by VenetianPrincess

2008-10-12T01:31:00.004+08:00

Wk found this parody of Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl while searching for the remix and omg it's just too hilarious I had to share! Enjoy~

Row, row, row your boat~

2008-10-04T23:29:00.011+08:00

What do crazy M'sians do in extremely cold weather at about 5-6 degrees? Where the skies are dark and gloomy and not a ray of sunshine is able to pass through. Where the winds are so strong and cold every exposed part of your body feels like it's in the freezer. And to top it off, rain begins to fall...

View of the sky from my room

Why, they go rowing in the nearby river of course! An extremely fast flowing river that unlike our stagnant and polluted Sg. Pinang, will wash you away in seconds. What an experience!

The morning itself was indication enough about the bad weather we were about to face. Dark clouds, strong winds... Can't believe we were still excited enough to follow through lol. Anyway, we learnt how to row both on the boat and in the mini training centre on their rowing machines. It was fun! And cold! More layers for me next round! Being the sun-loving person I am, I almost decided to switch clubs. But after stepping into the boat, there's no looking back. I can't wait till we get to go out to the middle of Tyne(?) river :)

On another note, I tripped on the stairs today... Caused this huge red patch on my knees and light scrapes on my elbows. Here's a pic of my left knee... Traces of 2 bruises gained during the rollerskate night are still visible :S

Ouch!

From Sunderland with love

2008-10-04T01:48:00.001+08:00

Hi all! Been a long time since my last update.. Partly 'cause I've been settling into this new environment and partly 'cause the internet connection here sucks. But lets not go into that.

Life has been great so far. I love the friendly smiles on the road, the level of civic consciousness, the building architectures, the amazing variety of colourful flowers and oh, the random conversations the locals strike up every now and then. We attended two Fresher parties last week! :) An 80's Rollerskate themed party and a UV White party. Both totally rocked! I prefered the UV party tho'.. T'was more fun and had more drama lol. This girl came up to my housemate and started dancing with him. The next thing we knew, she was kissing him full on the lips! Then, after she was done, she moved on to my other friend and started kissing him too! His very first kiss lol! We also managed to squeeze in a visit to Newcastle. And it was beautiful. So fucking beautiful. I can't wait to see how the rest of UK looks like!

And to think that the UK was a place I never wanted to visit....

What an idiot I was lol.

Thanksmumdad

2008-09-11T00:31:00.000+08:00

Guess what I got as an early 21 gift :)

21 already, must carry handbag?
(My mum used this phrase last year in her efforts to get me to carry a bag :S)

Close enough lol

But that just came with the package.
And I definitely don't use handbags so it'll prob go to my mum or my sis.

My real gift is the watch

My first piece of err... jewelery.

Gorgeous don't you think? ;)

Countdown timer: 10 days

*ticktockticktock*

Time passes so damn fast :(
Can hardly believe there only about a week left
There's so many things I still wanna do
So many people I still wanna meet
So many I wish I never have to leave

.
.

*sigh*

I don't wanna go anymore can?

Pre-departure jitters? I guess...

2008-09-02T17:29:00.004+08:00

17 days left.... Time flies when you're having fun. Even more so when you know that you're not gonna be able to see everyone for a long long while. Maybe even never.

What's there to say about the future? Perhaps some of those in Aussie might decide to get a job, settle down and never come back. Or those in the UK. Or the US, or even those in Sg. The KL-Pg distance already seems hard enough to breach, what more the M'sia-[insert country here] distance. I for one, chose not to get a return ticket. Cause' if I did, I'd be tempted to come home, and once home, I'd find it hard to leave again, just the way I feel right now. I guess it'd be better to brave the homesickness till it fades away on its own than to cure it but get hit by a higher dose later on.

These past four months have been nothing short of fun. From road trips to outdoor activities, pigging out to clubbing, shopping to just plain hang out sessions, I'm just glad I managed to spend time with most of you before leaving. Just so you know, you guys mean a lot to me.

I'ma miss everyone...

Trip to KL with the girls

2008-08-15T22:39:00.001+08:00

First on the itinerary for the day was Sunway Lagoon. The initial plan was to rent a car but due to some ridiculous excuse on the car rental agency's part, we ended up taking public transport. Which took forever! And got us all tired, sweaty, and craving for a nice soft bed in an air-conditioned room to just flop on. Lol. Check out fb for pics, won't post them here.

Anyway, we reached Sunway at about 3 and being so hot, jumped into the wave pool! Ahh bliss... Lol. We were like kids once again, jumping along with each wave, racing each other in the shallow area by ~~'walking' on the floor with our hands~~ "swimming" and attempting to teach Tracy how to swim. Next came the extremely fascinating drive-thru shower which we ran across repeatedly, the water-dumping bucket, and the water slides. After that, we proceeded to the dry park where Tracy insisted on riding The Lost City of Gold three times! Wahh..! Sungguh menakutkan!

Dinner was at this korean restaurant in Pyramid where all of a sudden, the animals went crazy with hunger!
Later on that night, we went clubbing at Maison! Cow lost her clubbing virginity to us! And she absolutely loved it! LOL! Think we were all a bit tipsy that night, dancing away without a care in the world. In fact, we were crazy enough to receive invites to the next day's party and it came with free flow of drinks. What a surprise lol. As if our day wasn't crazy enough, and probably because we were still high, we decided to try a watermelon flavoured shisha during supper! It tasted real nice :D Finally, at about 4 something, we staggered back to Tracy's place and without even bothering to bathe, went to bed. The end of a really memorable day....

Nudge me for the uncensored version babes! Y'know me loves. Much.

Trip to KL with the Girls - Prelude

2008-08-13T01:30:00.000+08:00

A short update from KL

2008-08-07T13:20:00.004+08:00

Wk called today and said that his visa application status stated that it's ready for collection and asked me to check mine. So I did. And it was. We had just handed in our documents on Tues and voila, two days later, it's ready for collection. Is there such a thing as it being processed too quickly? Am a bit worried now lol... Well, I guess the only thing to do now is just pray and hope for the best.

ps. Will blog the entire trip once I get home. Didn't bring my lappie down.

pps. Tracy has started a blog! Another addition to our Trampil blogger family :)

Hiatus and some...

2008-07-31T09:12:00.005+08:00

No updates for a while as I'll be heading down to KL today to make my visa and have fun with the girls ^_____^ It's weird tho'... I haven't even left home but I'm feeling a lil' homesick already. Wth is wrong with me la.. Lol. Maybe it's 'cause I just realized that I only have approx. 1 and a half months left. And part of me wants to cling tightly to home and not let go. Someone please shake me out of this ridiculous feeling!! ^^""

On another note... I sure hope all goes well with the visa. And oh, Winnie, smell your donuts yet? ;D

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson

2008-07-25T21:45:00.001+08:00

Not exactly the latest news but I'm gonna blog it anyway ^^

Sam blowing Lindsay a kiss

So, are Lindsay and Sam more than friends? While both have not officially confirmed their relationship, Sam's brother, Mark Ronson has been reported saying "My sister and Lindsay make a cute couple, don’t they?"

During Lindsay's birthday bash

Neck kissage in NYC

Notice the linked hands

They're holding hands again! :)

Lindsay hugs Sam after being away from her for a few days

Don't forget to wind up your mirror~

The kiss Sam posted on her Myspace

When asked about her wishes for the new year, Lindsay told Ryan Seacreast on his KIIS-FM show "I just want to live a happy, healthy year and continue on the path I've been on and be with the person I care about and my family,” Which would be Sam of course ^_~ And oh, did I mention the $20,000 Cartier (engagement?) ring Sam gave Lindsay?

Is this all merely a publicity stunt? Or are they truly in love? I for one chose to think the latter.
What do you guys think?

An interesting article on Lindsay paying tribute to Sam on her T-shirt

Of gaol, flat tires, nice people and orgasms

2008-07-23T17:00:00.004+08:00

Breaking rules and getting reprimanded in jail, a flat tire after our escape, and an orgasm peak in bed with Shaggy. That night was sure an eventful one lol.

The moment we walked into the dark and morbid looking jail, we were greeted by the sight of a freshly electrocuted prisoner. All sorts of terrifying images flashed through our minds as we wondered if our misbehaviour would cause us to suffer the same fate. A plastic cup containing essentials was handed to us and we were led to a tiny cell with 3 bunks, a small table and no walking space. Whatever had we done to deserve this?!

Welcome to Obake-ya, a jail-themed japanese restaurant located on Leith Street, Penang. Interesting as it seems, we don’t recommend anyone to go there. Why, you ask? Well, for starters, the bad service. Hardly a few minutes after the waiter handed us the menus, he told us that we had to hurry our orders. Wth! It was still damn early and only a couple of tables were filled! What’s the hurry dude? Then as we were about to eat, a waitress stopped Mel to remove the menu from underneath her plate. Sounds fine? Well, except for the fact that she pulled a long face, tugged at the menu without even lifting the plate, and stared pointedly at Mel till she had to lift the plate for the waitress. Just as we were about finished, the waitress started clearing away our plates, including the ones we were still using! At first we were too shocked to actually stop her, but when we did, instead of apologizing, she merely shot us a sour look and walked off. And to think that we had to pay 10% service tax -_- Jeez! They really ought to train their staff better.

Our food- the kimchi fried rice (isn’t kimchi Korean?) was pretty good, the sukiyaki overly sweet and not fragrant enough, and the featured sushi so-so. Rather disappointing overall.

Now, with the many Japanese restaurants around which have better tasting food, cheaper prices as well as better service, a place like this would only stand out because of its unique decor. Most adults wouldn’t find this kind of decor fascinating enough to bear the lousy service and food. Camwhoring students on the other hand, definitely would. What wouldn’t we do for a good background where we can pose to our heart’s content? Lol. And complete with props too! XD Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to do that either ~~and kena scolding for trying~~! Whatawasteofgooddecor! And whatawasteof$$$ just to put up with bad service and so-so food! T_T

Anyway after we left, malapetaka melanda!! Lol. Cow’s car had a flat tire! At 10+ at night. Where all the shops were closed. On an almost deserted street. What were we to do?? A really nice Indian man stopped an even nicer Chinese uncle and told him about our predicament. Without hesitating even a second, he offered to change it for us and of course we accepted. Well, cow’s car hadn’t had a new set of wheels in a while so the nuts were on pretty tight and refused to budge so the uncle had to jump a few times on the ‘nut remover’ (don’t know what it’s called lol). He started walking away the moment he finished. Just like that. Without expecting anything in return- not even a thank you! When we tried to stop him to thank him, he turned around, smiled and acknowledged us, then continued along his way. And the Indian guy made sure we were safely on our way before leaving. Such wonderful kind souls~ Y’know that warm feeling deep down when some stranger does you an unexpected good turn? Well, the three of us felt it that night. After all those news about our streets getting more dangerous, increasing snatch thefts, con-men, rapes and whatnot, meeting these two made us feel that there are still good people out there. Perhaps there’s still hope yet ^^

And so, we happily made our way to our next stop where Shaggy and I had an orgasm peak in bed while Cow settled down with a cuppachino and watched. Whoa, exhibitionism. Kinky~ ;P

Loving Annabelle Soundtrack: All Over Me

2008-07-06T01:00:00.007+08:00

Am so hooked on this Loving Annabelle soundtrack by Lindsay Harper called All Over Me which Annabelle sang to Simone during prom.

Lyrics:

The space between what’s wrong and right
You will find me waiting for you
All your fortresses go down in the night
To the dawn I’ll see you through

Cause I know, that you know
You’re all over me now
And it’s clear, you will show
And your curtains will go
But if your heart is cold
My sheets are warm
I will shelter you
All through the storm
I will shelter you
All through the storm

If the answers aren’t so easy to find
The questions will have to do
’Cause I’ve lost myself deep in your eyes
My only fix is you

Cause I know, that you know
You’re all over me now
And it’s clear, you will show
And your curtains will go
But if your heart is cold
My sheets are warm
I will shelter you
All through the storm
I will shelter you
All through the storm

The space between what’s wrong and right
You will find me waiting for you...

My first crush

2008-07-05T12:26:00.000+08:00

On Brunch with Bridget this week, Bridget talks to her mum and Lizzie, her first crush (at the age of six!).

This episode got me thinking about my very own first crush. I was nine at the time, and had no idea that it was even a crush. All I knew was that I always looked forward to seeing her each day in school and hanging about with her. It was short lived however as I moved to a different school when I was 11.

And there, I met my second crush. Not that I realized it at first. *rolls eyes* In fact I didn't even realize it till about a year later! And when I did, I found myself facing my first ever rival lol. Ah, all the drama that followed after... I bet none of us would forget them. Especially that one incident involving a book and some site called kaypo corner that got our names called out during assembly, our asses hauled off to the principals' office to be interrogated, and the counseling room after. An incident that we still talk about and laugh off after all this time. Picture on the left is of the three of us back when we were 12. Oii Pz! Suddenly feel jealous again! Hahahahahahaha XD

Come to think of it, perhaps if there had been more exposure, more acceptance, I'd have been less confused and taken more daring steps instead of trying to figure a way to stop those "not-normal-feelings". Perhaps if I'd had a more solid self esteem, none of that would have mattered.

Just felt like ranting a bit lol ^__^""

The past week

2008-07-03T23:57:00.002+08:00

Listening to: Missy Higgins - Where I stood

So stupid and ridiculous you just have to laugh

Plus Sean who's the photographer

Other than the ~~unrealistic~~ fairytale ending that's so typical of films of this genre, rather enjoyable

Omg, stay away! I'm not food... Really!

Noooo!!
They look rather like sperm flocking around the ovum don't they? XD

Army camp lol

Happy 21st Winnie @ Chilli's
Stuffed to the brim till we had to ta-pau the quesadillas.
Night ended with bubbles, camwhoring, a bulldog, and some sugarcane ;)

Current playlist

Been listening to this playlist a lot recently.

Guess the whole Ruka x Michiru relationship on Last Friends got to me. Ah, the classic gay girl falls in love with straight best friend storyline... Cliched but all of us who's been through it knows just how much it can hurt. To be so close and yet so far.
To quote Shizuru in Dorapanda Tours: Katakoi Mania,

"Even if it was just the air, I couldn't bridge the gap between us..."

Ouch...

Here's a sketch of Natsuki, photographed with a Canon camera as I have no scanner, and because we know how photographed drawings turn out, coloured and edited with photoshop. Will add Shizuru later on ;P

ps. Natsuki's fingers look absolutely retarded. Try as I might, I just couldn't get it right T__T

Bulgarian Idol auditions "Ken Lee": What language was it?

2008-05-24T16:19:00.006+08:00

Now I know most people have already seen this hilarious rendition of Mariah Carey’s “Ken Lee” by Valentina Hasan during the Bulgarian Idol auditions. But how many actually knew that she was singing in an actual language? No seriously. There is a language that is spelled exactly the way it’s pronounced- Anglic. It was proposed in 1930 by a distinguished Swedish philologist, Professor R. E. Zachrisson, and received much influential support. A fund of $20,000 was even given to aid in spreading knowledge of it as well as promoting its acceptance. However, World War II put an end to this and the death of Professor Zachrisson in 1937 left it without a leader. Here's an excerpt of how Lincoln's speech would look like in Anglic.

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

Forscor and seven years ago ouer fathers brort forth on this continent a nu nation, conseaved in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men ar created equal.

Now we ar engajed in a grate sivil wor, testing wether that nation, or eny nation so conseaved and so dedicated can long endure. We ar met on a grate batle-feld of that wor. We hav cum to dedicate a portion of that feld as a final resting plase for those who hear gave there lives that that nation mite liv. It is orltogether fiting and proper that we shood doo this.

But in a larjer sens, we cannot dedicate - we cannot consicrate - we cannot halo - this ground. The brave men, living and ded, who strugled hear, hav consecrated it far abuv ouer poor power to ad or ditract. The world wil lital note, nor long rimember wot we say hear, but it can never forget wot thay did hear. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated hear to the unfinished werc wich thay who fort hear hav thus far so nobly advansed. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the grate tasc rimaning before us - that from theas onored ded we tace increased divotion to that cors for wich thay gave the last ful mesure of divotion; that we hear hyly risolv that theas ded shal not hav died in vane; that this nation, under God, shal hav a nu berth of fredom; and that guvement of the pepal, by the pepal, for the pepal, shal not perish from the erth.

Note that “can” is spelled as “kan” here. So, “can’t” + heavy Bulgarian accent would make “ken” wouldn’t it...? ;)

So she WAS singing in an actual language ~~albeit tinged by her strong Bulgarian accent~~. She just got the name wrong.

Prisoner of Love

2008-05-10T15:55:00.007+08:00

I absolutely love Prisoner of Love, the opening theme of Last Friends, by Utada Hikaru! It's so beautiful, so addictive that I've been playing it over and over again. Heck I even looked up the lyrics just to be able to sing along to it! Lol...

Lyrics (both japanese and english version taken from here)

I'm a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love

Heiki na kao de uso wo tsuite
Waratte iyake ga sashite
Raku bakari shiyou to shite ita
With an indifferent face you tell a lie
Laughing until you feel sick
"Let's have nothing but fun" you said

Naimononedari buru-su
Mina yasuragi wo motomete iru
Michitariteru noni ubaiau
Ai no kage wo otte iru
Feeling blue over desiring the impossible
Everyone is seeking tranquility
You're struggling, but you've had enough
Now you're chasing after a shadow of love

Taikutsu na mainichi ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
Anata ga arawareta ano hi kara
Kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
Since the day you appeared
My dull "everyday"s have begun to shine
Now I'm able to think, "Feeling loneliness, being in pain - that's not so bad"
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love

Yameru toki mo sukoyaka naru toki mo
Arashi no hi mo hare no hi mo tomo ni ayumou
Through painful times and healthy times,
Stormy days and sunny days, let's walk on together

I'm gonna tell you the truth
Hitoshirezu tsurai michi wo erabu
watashi wo ouen shite kureru
Anata dake wo tomo to yobu
I'm gonna tell you the truth
I chose an unforeseeably painful path
and you came to support me
You're the only one I can call a friend

Tsuyogari ya yokubari ga muimi ni narimashita
Anata ni ai sareta ano hi kara
Jiyuu demo yoyuu demo hitori ja munashii wa
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
Fake displays of strength and avarice have become meaningless
I've been in love with you since that day
When I'm free, with time to spare, there's no life in being alone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh mou sukoshi da yo
Don't you give up
Oh misutenai zettai ni
Oh... Just a little more
Don't you give up
Oh don't ever abandon me

Zankoku na genjitsu ga futari wo hikisakeba
Yori issou tsuyoku hikareau
Ikura demo ikura demo ganbareru ki ga shita
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
If the cruelty of reality tries to tear us apart
We'll be drawn more closely to one another
Somehow, somehow, I have a feeling we'll be able to stand firm
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Arifureta nichijou ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
Kokoro wo ubawareta ano hi kara
Kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
Every day banalities quickly begin to shine brilliantly
You stole my heart that day
Loneliness and pain, I thought I could deal with
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

I'm a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Hitori ni sasenai
Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Don't leave me alone again

Still can't get enough of it? Then watch the video!

Rasuto Furenzo aka. Last Friends

2008-05-10T03:34:00.006+08:00

After watching the opening theme on Blammer's blog, I decided to watch this new j-dorama called Rasuto Furenzu or Last Friends which is currently airing in Japan. Even at episode 2, this drama left me on the edge, wanting to kill -yes, seriously kill- a certain character, feeling and emphasizing with the pain of another, and wanting to knock some sense into a few others. And now at episode 4, I'm hooked.

Domestic violence (DV), emotional blackmail, unrequited shoujo-ai, a spineless young man who still loves his wife despite her cheating on him in his own home, a mysterious past which scarred a man enough to make him afraid of sex... These are just some of the issues addressed in this wonderfully made drama. You can literally feel each character's internal struggle over the secrets they are hiding.

Ah, the beauty of angsty dramas...

Ruka meets Michiru
(Tribute to Haruka/Michiru from Sailormoon?)

One can only wonder how this is gonna end up.. A tragedy perhaps, judging from the opening of the show where a pregnant Michiru wonders if the death ~~(hopefully Sousuke's)~~ could be avoided if she had the ability to understand people's hearts- and I'm guessing, Ruka's heart in particular. Or perhaps they'll throw in an ambiguously ~~happy~~ ending where Ruka and Michiru finally meet again (KnM anyone?). All I can say is that at the moment I(and other viewers alike) would gladly follow the journey of this heartwrenching drama to the end... Watch it here! ^_______^

ps. And the death had better not be Takeru's! Or Eri's for that matter!

Cindy, our true M'sian Dreamgirl?

2008-05-02T17:00:00.004+08:00

Who here isn't satisfied with the Malaysian Dream Girls result? Pretty much everyone I guess judging from my friends and the blogging community's response. Check out Innit for example, or the group on Facebook. I personally think Cindy doesn't deserve it as well. I mean just look at her pictures! Most of them can't even be compared to the other contestants!

Then again, with such a "supportive" dad, anyone could win MDG *rolls eyes* If it wasn't for all his votes, she would have probably been kicked out earlier on in the show. Prove for this? Well, check out this blog... This blogger was sharp enough to notice a few things in the list of voter winners and needless to say, a certain someone bearing the name Tey was in the top voter list every single week!

So, does Cindy deserve this win? You be the judge....

Err... Keep a book with her measurements in it? Record her screaming? Basically gather everything you can of hers to add to your "collection"? O.o Omgosh no way! I'm not THAT obsessive! I'm not! Serious! XD

Which Strawberry Panic! Character Are You Most Like?

You are Suzumi Tamao! You are the roommate of Nagisa-chan! You are obsessively in love with her, you keep a book with her measurements in it, record her screaming, and basically gather everything you can of hers to add to your "collection". A little strange, but you are awfully adorable! And strangely perceptive! You attend St. Miatre.

Malaysian election results

2008-03-09T01:12:00.002+08:00

So far, Penang, Kelantan, Kedah, Selangor and Perak has gone to the opposition.

DAP secretary general Lim Guan Eng is confirmed as the new Penang Chief Minister, PKR secretary general Khalid Ibrahim is the new Selangor Mentri Besar while Kedah PAS commissioner and Sungai Limau state assembly person Azizan Abdul Razak is Kedah's Mentri Besar.

Election Results for Penang

2008-03-08T23:31:00.011+08:00

EDIT: It's confirmed! DAP secretary general Lim Guan Eng is the next Penang Chief Minister.

I don't usually do political agendas as our government seem to have a thing against freedom of expression on the internet. BUT... The election results are out and as of this moment, the opposition has taken over Penang, with DAP winning all 19 state seats they contested in, PKR with 9 and PAS with 2! A whooping total of 29 out of 40!! This means a completely new government for our beloved state, new changes (hopefully good ones), and of course, a chance for the new government to shine. They also won 11 out of 13 parliamentary seats! It's really great to see the people unite regardless of race to make their voice heard.

Barisan Nasional, sit up and take notice.

The people have spoken.

In memory of Nian Ning: Petition for safer bus rides

2008-01-31T23:58:00.000+08:00

As a tribute to Nian Ning and the other two who died in the recent bus accident, there will be no story/art/personal updates for the next few weeks. Instead I'd like to focus on helping out the victims' families by spreading the news about the petition they set up. Please support it. Thank you.

Excerpt from Bus Crash No More, a site set up by Nian Ning's loved ones.

We, the concerned youths of Malaysia express appalled anger towards the Slim River Bus Crash incident that claimed the life of Lee Nian Ning, Mohd. Zailani and Pang Boon Eng on the 25^th of January 2008. This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Despite numerous complaints and public uproar in the past, incidents like this continue to occur. It was reported that the driver’s company had 13 summonses on that bus itself. We find it unacceptable that such a company could have operated that vehicle on the road.

What are the explanations?

Hundreds of thousands of university students just like Nian Ning and us rely on such public transport to travel back home. A human life should not be taken lightly.

How could a vehicle with 13 summonses be free on the roads and not be held by the authorities?

We, the following, hereby demand that the relevant authorities set up a committee consisting of road safety experts and representatives from relevant public bodies to conduct a thorough study to find effective solutions to ensure that mistakes like this do not occur again in the future.

We will not be quiet until we see it in the media that satisfactory measures have been taken.

To sign the petition,

please click here

and submit your FULL NAME(as in IC. Please don't use your nicknames or initials.) and e-mail. It will be considered one e-signature upon completion.

Alternatively, please send your FULL NAME and IC NUMBER to buscrashnomore@gmail.com.

Please do not leave initials or nicknames, only full name is accepted.

We thank you for your co-operation. Let us pray for those who have died to make way for change and keep our fingers crossed that someone, anyone will hear us and enforce that change.

Please put this in forums, bulletins, emails, blogs.....everywhere. We need all the support we can get. This is for you as well.

RIP Nian Ning

2008-01-30T11:30:00.000+08:00

Lee Nian Ning, a fellow Penangite, passed away in a tragic bus accident a few days ago. She was at the peak of her life, a bright shining future ahead of her but all of these were robbed away in just seconds. The bus she was in hit a divider and the MPV behind, unable to stop in time, crashed into the back of the bus (More info).

The bus driver was later on found to have 13 outstanding summonses dating back as far as 2000 and a witness told the Berita Harian that the driver was speeding while sending text messages just before the accident happened!

How the heck can anyone with so many summonses not have their driver's licence revoked? For such a looooong period of time too! Plus they had TWO warrants of arrest for him!! And what has our police force been doing all this time? Writing summonses for illegal parking in housing estates, university/college areas and coffee shop areas. Catching people for not wearing seatbelts. The list goes on.... I'm not saying that any of the above are right or that the police shouldn't be catching those people. All I'm saying is that instead, they ought to concentrate on catching repeated offenders for speeding, reckless driving and the like. And especially those who hold many lives in their hands each time they get behind the wheel.

Then there's the bus company- Konsortium. Shouldn't they have checked out their potential drivers before hiring them? And considering that their buses make several trips to and fro from various states in the country, shouldn't they make an effort to make sure the buses are in reasonable condition and not break down half-way through the journey? And couldn't they have at least apologized and send condolences to the families involved? Or did they think that if they just kept quiet, the whole fiasco would eventually die down and business would go back to normal-until the next accident at least.

Well, all I know is that Konsortium is now synonymous with Irresponsible and we're all boycotting them. There are so many other affordable buses out there- Plusliner for example.

I mean, who knows when the next accident might be?

I'm sure not gonna stick around and find out.

The L word Season 5 ^_^

2008-01-10T22:00:00.000+08:00

Oh.my.gawd! Season 5 of The L Word is out!! Finally, after all those months of waiting... I just can't wait to get my hands on it ^____^ It's seriously one of the best series around.

The show revolves around the lives of a clique of lesbian friends. First off, there's Shane the playgirl who fell in love, got heart broken, fell in love again, decided to get married but on that fateful day, left her absolutely hot DJ bride, Carmen, at the altar. Then there's Bette and Tina the separated couple on the verge of getting back together again, Jenny the super hilarious crazy bitch with a sad childhood, and Alice the quirky host of The Charts. My personal favourites are Jenny and Alice :D Alice, for her humor and sarcasm and Jenny, well, for her crazy dark side. Seriously dude, she does the most ridiculous things ever! In Season 4, she adopted Saunders, a really really sick dog on the verge of dying. And no, she didn't do it to ease the dog's suffering. It was all for revenge on Stacy Merkin (or rather known as Vagina. Lol...) who wrote unpleasant stuff bout Jenny's book.
So yeah... I'm signing off now to go read the screencaps and reviews.

P.s. I've just got some good news from my parents :D Will probably blog bout it tomorrow..

p.s.s. I want Bette to end up with Jodi!!! And for Carmen to come back!

All fans of Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy books, DO NOT watch The Golden Compass. Otherwise, ready yourselves for some disappointment.
Anyway, all those curious to know what their daemon would be, take the test HERE!

I'm sure that every one of us at some point of our lives probably would've snuck some kinda food into the cinema- biscuits, snacks, jelly beans, french fries and maybe even the occasional burger. But tell me, have you ever heard of anyone smuggling in a whole tub of ice-cream? Well, Tracy did! And it wasn't even in a tub but one of those ice-cream cake types where you have to remove the whole wrapper to be able to eat it. LOL... Talk bout' random man!

So anyway, we watched 'Enchanted' and it was pretty good. If you ignored the bollywood elements and irritating sap, that is ;)

Mai HiME fanfiction: It was Distracting- Chapter 3

2007-11-21T14:23:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the lack of blog posts. My current internship job is taking up most of my waking hours. Imagine spending almost 10 hours at work each day! There's not much free time left for myself. Anyway, a HUGE thank you to Charmine for input-ing some colour and correcting my mistakes.

Onward to the story!

It was Distracting
-a Mai-HiME fanfiction by scoobz-

Chapter 3

Shizuru you idiot! Why?? Why did you have to go and kiss her? Shizuru mentally berated herself, her car swerving slightly as she flinched at the memory.

Natsuki….

Yet again, I’ve broken your trust. And there’s no Obsidian lord to blame it on this time.

There’s only me.

Me and my unnatural love for you.

I kept telling myself that I’d content myself with staying best friends. That it was enough. Yet all along, I knew. I already knew it’d never be enough. Every moment spent with you made me want you more and more.

It was all just right. Everything was as it was before the Carnival. Better in fact. We were more open with each other. There were no longer any secrets between us. And knowing my reservations in touching you in case it made you uncomfortable, you even took the liberty of initiating touch with me- taking my hand as we walked, and giving me that strong yet soothing hug that never failed to warm my lonely heart each time we parted. All those caring, thoughtful gestures only served to make me love you more.

It was weeks later when I first noticed you looking at me more than usual- always when you thought I wasn't looking. Those stolen glances gave me hope.

Perhaps…

Perhaps the reality of you and I wasn't so impossible after all.

But I guess I was wrong.

And I guess this is goodbye Natsuki.

For good.

The tears she held back for so long started streaming down her face.

I’m so sorry Natsuki. I’m so sorry…

A fist banging frantically on her window startled her out of her thoughts.

Wh...?

Their eyes met.

Na-tsuki…?

She blinked disbelievingly

No, it couldn't- But it was...

Her foot left the gas pedal.

It was Natsuki!

All of a sudden, bright headlights and a loud resounding horn. Breaking off their gaze, Shizuru could only stare in horror as a large oncoming truck sped towards Natsuki.

Then a loud thud and a sickening crash.

The sound of screeching tires as feet slammed on the brakes.

Pattering feet as she ran towards Natsuki's wrecked bike, eyes darting wildly about, desperately searching.

Choked sobs.

And finally, an anguished "NATSUKI...!!"

xxx

She didn't know how long she knelt there, letting the tears flow. How could she continue living without Natsuki? Continue living with the knowledge that she caused her death? If only she hadn't kissed her, if only she had more self-control. Natsuki would've still been alive.

She took a shaky step towards the cliff.

It's all my fault.

Another.

I killed Natsuki.

And another.

I don't deserve to live...

Now at the edge, she closed her eyes.

Natsuki...

Those crimson eyes were eerily calm when they re-opened.

She had made her decision.

xxx

The end.

Mikey Mouse and his lil' dicky XD

2007-10-25T15:47:00.000+08:00

Warning: Above 18 only. Images may cause severe trauma to those who love Mickey mouse.

I promised Mel a naked Mickey after reading a post on her blog where she likened Vanessa Ann Hudgens taking naked pictures to naked Mickeys. So, here it is! Mikey mouse, Mickey's more obscene version, strutting his dick:

Ta-da!

My drawing, along with the original, Plus a new tagline ^_-

And of course i had to go fiddle around with it resulting in...... OMG MOUSE PORN!! Lol...By the way, I had my blog rated andd.... Even with all the nonsense I write, it's still *gasp* relatively safe! hahahah... Oh, to have so many 'interesting' ideas and yet remain oh-so-innocent....

I'm so ~~insulted~~ touched.

Dumbledore is gay

2007-10-25T01:33:00.000+08:00

To all avid Harry Potter fans out there, JK Rowling has stated that Dumbledore is gay in a recent US tour. Excerpt from Reuters:

Rowling said Dumbledore fell in love with the charming wizard Gellert Grindelwald but when Grindelwald turned out to be more interested in the dark arts than good, Dumbledore was "terribly let down" and went on to destroy his rival.

That love, she said, was Dumbledore's "great tragedy".

"Falling in love can blind us to an extent," she said.
The audience reportedly fell silent after the admission -- then erupted into applause.

Now ain't that a shocker? Or had you guessed it all along?

It was distracting
-A Mai HiME fanfiction by scoobz-

Chapter 2

Shizuru. My most precious one. Always with that special smile reserved only for me. You were always there.

Even though I kept pushing you away, unwilling to let you pass the walls I built around me.

You persisted.

Slowly, you crept into my life and my walls began to crumble, gradually letting you in. I began to get used to your presence, came to expect it, and at some point, began to look forward to seeing you. And you never disappointed me Shizuru. During the few times that I actually attended class, you never failed to find me and elicit that damned blush from my face, never failed to escape those crazy fangirls of yours, talk me into lunch and somehow produce an extra bento with those heavenly mayo filled fishballs. I now wonder if you had always made an extra, keeping out a watchful eye for me every single day. Secluded in that garden full of flowers, we'd sit, content with each others' company. A place now filled with so many fond memories, the place where I first met you.

That night when Nao was about to dig my eyes out, I was prepared to die. I couldn’t care less. Everything I had been fighting for, everything I had stood against, it was all a lie. I could no longer see any reason to live. But when you suddenly appeared I was terrified. Terrified of what she might do to you. I didn’t know you were a HiME then.

If I had known, I probably would've have worried more about what you would do to Nao.

You stepped in, saved my life. I was grateful to some extend, but a part of me wished I had just died there. I had lost everything. Even Duran, my faithful child wouldn’t come when I called.

And in a way, I had lost you.

The image of the best friend I had known all this while was shattered. I felt utterly lost and betrayed. I wasn't ready to accept your feelings, wasn't ready to love. It was all so foreign to me. I couldn't understand this complicated feeling called love that drove people to do the insane things they normally would not. Shy and timid Yukino, Mikoto, you...

When Nao had said that part about trusting only yourself, something clicked inside me, suddenly realizing that you were the one who helped me see the world again, you who showed me someone cared.

You, who were always there.

It was always you.

Shizuru…

That's when I knew, I'd do anything to protect you too. To make sure that you were safe from harm, safe from me, safe from yourself, from what you had become because of me. I didn’t know it then, or maybe I just didn’t want to know, but I was probably falling for you too. All the love, care and concern you showed me subconsciously seeped through my defenses. Duran's size was a strong testament of how strongly I felt for you. And I felt vulnerable. I had never trusted anyone since my mother’s death, never needed anyone. But you Shizuru, you made me smile, made me feel special, feel loved. Yes, loved. I now know the word. And like I told you before we faded into oblivion, I'm glad you loved me.

And I..

I…

I think I might love you too Shizuru…

And if it's for you, I'm willing to try, willing to take a chance.

Life without you is definitely something I can't imagine. The thought of going through each day without your smiles, your teasing, your little touches, and just feeling your presence close-by fills me with a sense of dread and emptiness. I need you in my life, that's for sure.

There was so much passion in that kiss, so much repressed desire.

Even now, the taste of you still lingers.

My skin still tingles...

It was so much more than anything we ever shared- not that we kissed that much. In fact the only one I remember was the one I gave you during the carnival and that had been innocent, clumsy even. Just a simple press of my lips on yours. But it was enough to pull you out of that pit of desolation.

The pit I never want to see you drown in again.

Therefore….

“Shizuru! Chotto matte!” I yelled running after her. “Shizuru!!”

“Damn it!” I cursed as her red sports' car sped by me. Jumping on my Ducati, I revved up the engine and raced off after her, features grim with determination. I will not lose you so easily Shizuru. Not when I’m finally sorting out my feelings for you.

Wait for me, Shizuru...

Won't you please...

...wait.

Omake 2:

Natsuki: Say, Shizuru. Could I take that baby for a spin? -stares longingly at Shizuru's sports' car-

Shizuru: Ara... I thought you'd never ask. -pounces- You can take me for a spin anytime Na-tsuki.

Natsuki: Wh..what? -blushes- B..baka!! I meant the car!

Shizuru: -whispers seductively while licking Natsuki's ear- Or how about you take me for a ride in that car?

Natsuki: Mhmm... -distractedly rubs Shizuru back- O..okay...

~TBC~

Note: chotto matte - wait

Mai HiME fanfiction - It was distracting

2007-09-16T00:30:00.000+08:00

Finally after months of just lurking about and greedily gobbling down every piece of Shiznat fanfiction and artwork, I decided to try contributing back. So came the translation of Katakoi Enka, Shizuru's character song and the drawing of Natsuki- which wasn't very good. Then another drawing of Natsuki- still not very good but better, which was edited into a birthday wish for Natsuki. And now, finally, the unveiling of my very first fanfic.....

It was distracting
-A Mai HiME fanfiction by scoobz-

Chapter 1

It was distracting. Really. We were hanging out as usual at my apartment and she was sitting with her legs curled up on the couch on with only an oversized t-shirt on, leaving little left to the imagination. A thriller with lots of bloody scenes was on, my kind of show, but most times I found my eyes wandering the length of those smooth creamy legs. My fingers itched to touch, to run my fingers lightly up those milk white thighs. I wonder if she’s ticklish… Unbidden thoughts of her squirming beneath my touch suddenly flashed through my mind. No! No! Bad thoughts! Quickly I shook them away, feeling a hot blush creep up my face. Since when did I become such a pervert? I thought, annoyed by my thoughts.

“Ara ara. I wonder what my Natsuki is thinking to bring such a cute blush to her face.”

Caught.

“Nn..nothing!!” I stammered out.

“Is that so?"

"Or perhaps Natsuki was thinking of trying that with me?” Shizuru asked huskily with a seductive smile, gesturing towards the television.

Try what?

Confused, I glanced at it only to turn away immediately, blushing an even deeper shade of red. A couple was making out onscreen, hands groping each other in, well, places. I blushed even deeper. “Shizuru!!”

“Mou. Does Natsuki find me unattractive then?” A pout.

“No!! I didn’t mean it like that!”

Comparing herself to the heroine in the movie, Shizuru said sadly “Well, I guess mine aren’t that huge.”

My eyes followed as her hands moved to cup her breasts.

“Neither are my lips as luscious as hers.” Fingers lightly brushed against moistened lips.

“And legs not as long and smooth…” Shizuru’s voice trailed off, a hand slowly tracing a path up her legs.

Higher.

And higher.

“Oh God, if she goes any higher I’d be able to see….” My eyes widened, suddenly realizing what I had been doing. I looked away immediately feeling my whole face on fire.

“Na..tsu..ki.”

I braced myself and looked up, expecting more teasing about my behavior. I was however surprised to see Shizuru watching me with a serious expression, her eyes unreadable. The usual smile was gone, replaced by an almost hungry look. But that couldn’t be right.

We just ate didn’t we?

“Shi..zuru?”

Suddenly there was a warm pressure on my lips. The sensation was... oddly pleasing. I leaned in unconsciously, wanting more. The kiss deepened, a hand found its way to my face, the other lightly caressing the skin under my shirt. My skin was burning, my mind whirling. All I could think of was how good it felt, how right it felt.

Then just as suddenly as it had started, it was gone.

Troubled crimson eyes met my own confused ones. “Kanin na Natsuki! Kanin na! I didn’t mean to do that.”

“I… I’d better go now. I understand if you…” her voice cracking.

Swallowing she continued “If you don’t want to see me again, Natsuki.” she said dejectedly.

I stared at her mutely as she fought to hold in the tears that I knew threatened to fall. I could see how much it broke her to say that. Memories during the carnival came rushing back. Shizuru’s hurt look when I had rejected her, her tears, her empty hollow expression. Even when she rescued me from Nao, it was as if she was on auto pilot, an empty vessel with a missing soul, out to destroy everything that made me unhappy. The pain I saw in her eyes as we fought and the possessive yet tender way she had held me after trapping me in the church all flashed in front of my eyes in slow motion. I wanted desperately to hold her, to tell her that it was alright, that I...

That I lo...cared for her too.

But that would be even more cruel, wouldn't it? Especially when I know it might be more.

Shizuru...

Shizuru smiled sadly at me.

To me, it seemed more like a grimace.

Taking my silence to mean the worst, she said quietly with her head bowed “I understand. Goodbye Natsuki."

One final goodbye

With those words, she left. And somewhere deep within me, I knew that if I didn't go after her now, she was never coming back.

Shizuru...

Nothing that felt so right could be wrong. Could it?

Then why?

Why couldn't I go after her?

Natsuki: Oi! Shizuru wait! What did you do to my legs you stupid author? -glares-

Scoobz: It wasn't me! -shivers in fear-

Natsuki: I don't care! Find a way to cure it now! or else...

-Shizuru walks in with a bottle of scented oil-

Shizuru: Ara ara... Let me massage it for you Na-tsu-ki. -stares pointedly at author-

Natsuki: -blushes- Shi-zuru!!

-Scoobz hurries out of room as images of the two covered in oil signaled the start of a nosebleed-

The Big Harry Potter Race (Part II)

2007-07-29T12:59:00.000+08:00

Now the question was how the hell to get back into the car park since the doors were already locked.... And so, we asked the guards and one of them was nice enough to guide us back to our car thru' the underground tunnels. However, Plan II & III failed as well cause after another round of 'interrogating' a few other guards, we discovered that only the main park doors were gonna be opened. So the rest of the night was spent checking out where every door, every elevator, and every emergency exit led to. There had to be a way in somehow.... right? But everything seemed to lead to either more locked doors or the park. To make matters worse, we had no water, no food and our bladders were full. Finally, as we were close to giving up, we decided to try the last option- the worker's elevator. And it worked! hahaha... we finally got ourselves into the 4th floor of the building! By that time it was about 4.10 am, still a lil' early to be wandering about so we decided to hide out behind the wall at the end of the worker's corridor. Omg! i wonder how much chemicals we breathed in for the whole time we were huddled in that really tight corner. You know the stuff they use to patch walls? well, there was so much flying around that it was hard to breathe. Anyway, the 50 mins there was not without more mishaps- Wk got locked into the emergency escape, Yun n' I got discovered (luckily the worker was willing to help us)

huddled in a corner

At 5, the 3 of us started running to the end point but when we reached, the Kinokuniya people kept telling us to go down. And so we ran to the nearest escalators (which was at the other end of the building by the way), rushed down and ran to the center court but it was still blocked! so the whole running process was repeated til we reached the 1st floor where, panting for breath, proceded to climb up to the end point again. Suddenly, shouts of "catch them" were heard and we saw a guard yelling n' coming towards us. Seemed like this was supposed to be a race from the bottom so everyone who had gotten in got thrown out again :'( So much for our efforts......

Then the ~~stampede~~ race began! And so we ran, n' ran, n' ran for dear life.... "must *pant pant* get book!" And finally we made it.... a lil' too late. Just imagine the disappointment we felt. Everything we did was in vain... It was all for naught :( Then, a glimmer of hope- The people in front were complaining that at least 7 of the top 13 had cheated. So, as part of the next 13, we complained too. And talked to the press, and boo-ed those people when they received their books. In the end, Kinokunia decided to give us, the next 13 free books as well! So it was all worth it in the end! *cheers* Plus we had a taste of how movie stars feel as there were camera's clicking everywhere! Dunno which one to look at k! hahah....

The Big Harry Potter Race (Part I)

2007-07-24T16:47:00.001+08:00

The start of it all: I saw the article about the race in The Star newspaper and told Yun bout it. Being such huge HP fans, the whole idea seemed terribly exciting and nothing anyone said would make us change our minds. At least one of the free books had to be ours! Preferably the autographed ones ;)

Preparing for D'day: Having no mode of transportation to KLCC, we decided that we'd catch the midnight movie then camp out til' the gates open at 5am. Hahaha... Extremely crazy I know. Anyway, with Mission HPDH, Plan I in order, the both of us set out to recruit HP fans/friends for the mission. The firsts being our housemate-SY, Js, Zh and Ranz. Next was the irritant, Wk, Tracy, and Grace. Sad to say, SY laughed at us, the irritant turned down the mission, Tracy (although initially extremely enthusiastic about it) backed off cause' she was worried about safety and Grace had class. Js, Zh and Ranz agreed to join us for the movie and hang around for a bit while Wk got just as excited and determined as us :)

D'day: *Jumps around in excitement* Throughout all our classes, the 6 of us couldn't stop discussing our crazy plans for the night. Then we realized, #1-tickets for Fri night are usually fully booked, #2-we hadn't booked, #3-online ticketing server was down, #4-transformers was full, and #5-all the late night movies were full. Gawd.... we got a lil scared for a moment but Wk wasn't giving up. He kept on trying and trying and finally managed to book Vacancy. *insert look of horror* Horror movies scare d' hell outta me... But it's for harry potter *mutters over and over* Must tahan!

That night, Yun and I took a cab down to KLCC, had dinner then started exploring the place throughly. All the important landmarks mentioned in the paper had to be checked out. We spotted Js, Zh, and Ranz just as we finished and the 5 of us went to have a drink in Chilli's while waiting for Wk. Zh wanted to try all the juices so each time he refilled with a different thing. He even tried tomato and pineapple k! hahah... Anyway movie time was a torture. I think i actually squeaked! :S Thank God for the stupid ending k.. totally erased whatever fear i felt. Anyway, the actual adventure began after the movie... We talked to security guards, asked about every entrance, every carpark, the time each door was going to be opened, etc until they made us leave. There were already quite a number of people in the park. Approx 15 i think. Shit man! There was no way we'd be able to beat everyone if we stayed there.... And so, it was time to put Plan II into action.

To be continued....

Harry Potter madness

2007-07-22T00:23:00.000+08:00

OMG what an adventure!!!! Last night my friends and I camped out for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows release and boy, was it exciting! You see, Kinokuniya KLCC organized a 'race' where the 1st 3 who made it to the top and gave the correct password would get an autographed version for free and the next 10, the book. Being the crazy uni students we were, Yun, Wk and I decided to try our luck. Details of the whole experience will be posted soon. I'm too exhausted right now.... And too absorbed in my new free book ;p

2007-07-14T15:55:00.001+08:00

I've been too lazy to blog recently so to all the hungry ~~wolves~~ readers out there, here's a quick update...

Two weeks ago, Shea Ling was in kl so we went shopping at 1-U.

Pei, Yen Li and I headed over to Bangsar last tuesday. We had Mama's Beef Spaghetti, Salmon Quiche and a Chocolate brownie with ice cream for lunch, and after walking around for a bit, Pei rewarded the kid tagging along with tiramisu! Lol...

Then on Thurs evening, after dealing with E.Coli, Stephylococcus Aureus, and other types of mold and bacteria, my friends and I decided to have a drink at this new place nearby our uni that opened a few weeks ago (i actually can't remember the name... New Haven or something. haha..). The cafe's really cool. They have this concept of allowing customers to scribble all over their tables, walls, windows, bamboo decorations, etc etc.... everything is scribble-able! Lol... I even took home some of the pebbles i scribbled on ;) Plus, there's all sorts of magazines, manga and games available. We hung out til' almost 7, playing Uno-Stacko and scribbling everywhere. I was feeling naughty that day so this warlord planned and schemed for the downfall of Azuin-who wanted to kena-kan everyone at first. And it worked too! Twice! *grins* hahah... YW kept complaining that he too was being a victim caught in the middle of our plans. Ahahaha... he should be grateful enough that we didn't turn our plans on him... ;)

And finally, on friday, LB, YW, BP and I went bowling in Times Square. Anddd i managed to strike quite a few times! haha... Ego is a lil' inflated now thanks to the guys ;)

ps. And oh, did i mention that grace is already down in KL? :)

Random musings

2007-07-06T23:46:00.001+08:00

I have no idea how it's possible to get your heart completely broken one moment and yet feel so utterly happy the next. And all with just a few words. One moment, so extremely miserable that you swear you have to extricate yourself from her so that maybe, just maybe your heart will heal, and yet you can't stay away. No matter how you try, no matter how desperately you want the freakin' roller coaster emotions to stop, there's still something in you that pulls you back. Then just as you harden your resolve, just as you finally manage to take a step away, she says a few words and you feel that something tug at your heart. Or sometimes, an unconscious caring gesture that floods you with such warmth and love, and you fall even deeper, willingly subjecting yourself to more hurt that you know is to come, contenting yourself with staying in the background, only surfacing when you're needed.

Ah well, i guess that's the perils of being so smitten. So fucking smitten...

And i can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

It's your duty

2007-06-27T20:55:00.000+08:00

The irritant sent me this song the other day and ~~as usual demanded~~ asked me to listen to it. And so i did, and liked it immediately! :) it's got erm... pretty naughty lyrics but heck, that's what adds to the fun right? Plus she IS kinda hot.... haha...

Lyrics

(Oh yeah)

Ooh, don't be shy
Feed your appetite
You've got that rocket fuel
Ignition ready, ooh ohh
So fire it up
Don't hide it, hype it up
They're watching us, so what?
Don't you know that...

Some people are born to shut up and sit behind the desk
Some people are born to be safe and cannot take a risk
Handcuff up your boss, yeah, and be rough
He might like it, like it
He'll get a rise, you'll get a raise
Don't tell his wife about it

Chorus:
It's your duty duty, to shake that booty booty
Small, fat, all round or juicy
you're what they desire
It's your duty duty, to shake that booty booty
So what you're waiting for?
you're what they desire

Shake it shake it shake it shake it
you're what they desire

Ooh, straight or gay
You swing it either way
You've got to whip it up
Into a frenzy
Ooh ooh, it's what you feel
Yet this might shock for real
Flash it, it's no big deal
Don't you know that...

Some people are born to shut up and sit behind the desk
Some people are born to be safe and cannot take a risk
Handcuff up your boss, yeah, and be rough
He might like it, like it
He'll get a rise, you'll get a raise
Don't tell her man about it

(chorus)

Shake it shake it shake it shake it
you're what they desire

Shake it shake it shake it shake it
you're what they desire

oh, don't be shy (okay)
Feed your appetite
You've got that rocket fuel
Ignition ready, ooh ohh
So fire it up (you like that?)
Don't hide it, hype it up (okay)
They're watching us, so what? (come on)
Don't you know that...

Some people are born to shut up and sit behind the desk (listen up)
Some people are born to be safe and cannot take a risk (that's right)
Handcuff up your boss, yeah, and be rough
He might like it, like it (come on)
He'll get a rise, you'll get a raise
Don't tell his wife about it

(chorus) x2

phew! now, if that wasn't hot enough, go check out the video here!

Omgosh! Romance killed! Lol

Intro:

*SLAP*

“What was that for?”

“For you.”

Sigh. “What did I do now?”

…

Were you trying to confess?
With that oh-so-sweet poem of yours
Have you fallen once again?
Those memories now seem so far away

Things are gonna be complicated between us now
You know that don’t you?
Then why…
Why do you like me?

Was it me who asked you to dance?
Or maybe you asked me?

I do think my eyes are beautiful
But you already know that
And the way I dance…
I’m so sorry I made you stutter.

Don’t stare too much
For I’m very shy
You can stare when I’m not looking at you
But if I catch you staring
YOU DIE

I’ll slap you wan ar…

And DON’T try to kiss me
I will kick you!
You want to dance
Yes, we can dance

But please, don’t step on me
I’m serious
Step on me and I’ll step on you back

I know I’m gorgeous babe
Tell me I’m gorgeous
Don’t just think it to yourself
A girl needs to hear it every once in a while

You’re gorgeous

Ohh! Thank you!
That was so nice

Come, Let me blow into your ear
You like that right?
Warm breath
With saliva

So, you like my fingers too? *giggles*
Lightly poking your skin
You like that huh?
Awhh... I knew it

OHH!! You like my arm to press against you too?
I always knew you liked my nudges
And all these time you were protesting
I will do more next time

Ehh why are your legs weak?
I don’t want ar
When we go on our date then you have to sit in a wheel chair
I won’t push you wan ar!

And when the music starts we must dance
What song do you want?
No ‘fallen leaves’ please
Or I’ll knock your head

I want a slow dance
So I can blow more in your ear
You cannot really dance so I must give you some credit
Three chances before I stomp on your foot

What are you thinking about?
Me right?
I know you are

Yes, I’m thinking of you.
Counting away the seconds till I see you again
And thinking of what I wanna do

You wanna touch my neck?
Yeah, my neck’s quite nice too

That’s right
It’s too nice
I can’t take it anymore
The urge to wring it is too strong!

Woah. Feeling your love
I never thought you'd be so crazy over me

And oh, I’ll definitely stare
A stare so intense you’ll be blown away

Eh, control yourself

Feeling those invisible daggers I shoot your way

And when I stutter
It’d be due to outrage and indignation

*Fighting heard in the background*
"Dedicated to the one I’d never have courage to tell..."
"...TIKUS!!!! "

Ah, the beauty of a romantic love-hate relationship
Forever interesting
Never boring

…

Dedicated to the irritant who ~~demanded~~ inspired this.
May our friendship persevere forever!

You walk over to me
I can’t help but to stop breathing
I try not to stare
To marvel at your beauty
And your perfect legs

You smile and say hi
My mouth is dry
All I do is stutter something unintelligible
You must think I’m such an idiot

You flood my thoughts every moment of the day
Why can’t I get you out of my mind?

Sitting close to me
You lean in and ask if I’d like to dance
Your arm pressing against mine
Your warm breath tickling my ear
I swallow hard

You put your hands on my shoulders
Your fingers lightly grazing my skin
And start moving to the music
I move along
Entranced by you

My body is trembling
My knees are weak
I can hardly breathe
You have no idea what you’re doing to me

You suddenly look up and smile
My breath catches in my throat
I can’t help but to think how gorgeous you look
It’s all I can do to stop myself from kissing you

What is it you do?
What is it you say?
Why cant I break out?
I don’t wanna love you

And yet,
No matter what i do
No matter how much i try
You’re still all I think about…

Dedicated to the one i'd never have the courage to tell....
