My plan for the day was to hang out at Ducky's before we part ways. She goes for swing while I head off for practice. Turned out she was going to run an errand in BV and since I had nothing better to do.. I tagged along. :P
But that wasn't the highlight of the day...
Jun Jie actually initiated something! PIGS FLEW WEI! He was bored enough to ask us out for tea at Decanter. Shell-shocked, I was quite sure it wasn't going to happen but he picked Dao up and damn I was proved wrong!
The sweet thing even brought along his brother and gave me a Burberry sketchbook. ^^ Yay! I haven't gotten around to get myself a proper sketchbook since forever. Thank you!
Anis came over but I was too engrossed in this movie called "Closing the Ring". Ducky and I were actually discussing about Sound of Music on the way to her house and guess what? That was freaking Christopher Plummer on the tv! Ha! For that whole hour, I was just dying to know whether is Teddy dead or alive? The movie was directed by Richard Attenborough (The Great Escape, Suki!) Mischa Barton wasn't very convincing in the flick but boy oh boy wasn't Martin McCann the most adorable character ever. Still, was she worth having three guys after her? The irony of who she married just left me going.. wtf?!?!? Not satisfied though because I didn't manage to catch the first 30 minutes of the flick. Le sigh.
PS, Ducky, turns out I have seen Gregory Smith aka McAvoyMcGregorMcGuire act as well. He played Heath Ledger's brother in The Patriot. The one who got killed and had his tin soldiers melted into bullets!!! *jaw drops*

I attended WeiHan's farewell lunch with the ex-Chimera colleagues this afternoon. I actually woke up a tad bit late so I only managed to brush my teeth, grab the nearest dress and ran out of the house... to find that none of them were ready for lunch just yet. Hahaha! My hair was still a mess!
The meal at Marmalade, BVII was just as Foo described it- a deja vu. Another farewell lol. Pui Kum and I had a master plan of sharing two different dishes so we would at least be able to boast that we've sampled more than just the damned pastas at the restaurant :P The Lebanese wrap with chicken, turkey, cheese, spinach (whatever it was called, it definitely had the longest name on the menu) tasted pretty good. The chicken burger wasn't too bad either. Loved the avacado!
Picked Tasha up before heading to One Utama to get my tops for the team event. I tried out several colours and we decided that I look best in the yellow or blue. Unfortunately, they don't stock the blue in my size so I have to get them from OUG Plaza. Hmph! Got Sze's in pink instead so urm.. that's only half the business settled. Sigh.
Walked around OU searching for a perfect present for Alysha's friend. (Who?!) Turned out it was more challenging than expected. Have you seen the recent prices for accesories? 60 goddamned bucks for a wooden cut-out pendant!!!! Settled on getting her a sequined zipper bag thingymagica instead. Hahaha!
Stopped by Aeroline to get the bus tickets for the Singapore trip to find that I only remembered the BU departure date and not the one in Singapore. Conversing on the phone with Sha didn't help either cause I kept thinking that 25th is a Friday when it's actually a Saturday and yadi yada. @_@ Hand me that gingko biloba won't you? Kelvin ended up doing all the talking so I was like.. urm.. okaaay wtf am I supposed to be referring to at the counter? Oh well...I'll just pay. At least that's done with. Wooohooo! I'll do the rest of the planning beyond Harbour Front after the comps.
Bought another Lauren's novel at MPH since the Barnaby one is boring me to near-death. He's so lame. This one better be good.. PLEASE be good.
Ended my day out at Ducky's. Azalea's grown so much! Oh and she tried to hold me hostage again for staring at her boyfriend Jamal. Le sigh. He's all yours darling, I got my Gaspard.
:)
Pityf*ck.
Get it?
Idiot!

Oyy I am exhausted!
I only managed to fall asleep minutes before six in the morn. Went for dance at 10.30 and felt so freaking lost during the team practise. STEP BACK, STEP BACK!!! Went out for a quick lunch and returned to SMASH to practise the individual dances. OMG I never realised how technically-difficult the cha cha is. It's either the hips or the feet. Like.. pleeeease, work together!!! Left the studios at 5.00, hung out at Starbucks with I-Vee (CARAMEL FRAPPUCINO!!! INDULGE! INDULGE!) and Sze till 6.30 before heading home.
We had freaking crabs for dinner.
The family's been very weird. It was roasted duck and buttermilk curry prawns yesterday you know? o_O
Bye bye waistline.
THANK YOU XABI!!!!!
For that, you can keep the beard.

ALL YOUR FAULT LA WILSON!
...gee so romantic.
Does he even need to be saved? Seriously.
I can't help but care to know how he's doing. I don't want to spend so much time helping him only to find that I've been wrong all along. It's bad enough I am psychotic at times, but to start overreacting on an issue like this? I don't think I can take the shame.
Sigh. 7 years and counting. Stupid bugger.
According to the results of a Facebook quiz I've taken recently, I will make it as the sole survivor of a horror flick. o_O My answers were mostly along the lines of "yelling while running away". Since I refuse to check on any survivors or deaths of villains, I will have to watch Deebs die as the second victim. Hahaha.
Okay, not funny. I just ditched my best friend in a horror flick.
Pffft. Shame on me!

I am finally broke.
Tadah!
Fulfilled my promise of dropping by Nike Sportswear at The Curve to meet Alvin. He was busy the two times I walked past so he came over for lunch at IKEA. :D
I then caught Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It fares a 7/10 on my scale. You could have entered the theaters an hour late and you wouldn't have missed anything. The good stuff was all saturated towards the final hour of the movie and the story line started off very weakly. Since this falls under the summer blockbuster category, it's the action scenes that count. There is definitely a massive improvement in that aspect compared to the first installment of the series. This time, the scenes are all filmed in daylight. Yessssssssssss!! So you can actually see the blows being exchanged and the poor cat/tiger thingy getting scrunched to its death and shits. It's more brutal if you imagined that it was the real deal. I mean, robots being torn apart doesn't really get you excited....... or does it? LOL. That aside, you have to give it to John Turturro. He's such a comedian. I loved the scrotum and top secret, don't tell my mother joke. Definitely my favourite character. :D
Is this the king of all summer blockbuster movies for 2009? In my opinion (which only matters in this page, it's totally your call) it isn't. Star Trek was much, much, better. It had less action scenes but it struck a very good balance with its story line. Star Trek was consistently entertaining throughout the 2 hours and somehow, there was more space for emotions to be toyed around with compared to the highly action-saturated Transformers.
OOOOOOOOOOOOH AND I KNOW WHAT MY NEW WALL COLOR WILL BE!!! IKEA actually states out the wall colors they use yo! Haha!

Billy Jean's playing on the radio ...and it was just a night ago when I demonstrated the moon walk.
You saw this day coming. The day where you believe that his eccentrics would amount to nothing and it's just the end of the life of another glorious man. You don't need a face to identify Michael. His music, his dance moves, his eccentrics, it's all him. Truly the epitome of an icon.
Rest In Peace, Michael.
Would you have been able to find a house if these were your directions?

I CAN!!!!! :D

Spain 0-2 USA
I am obviously gutted by this loss but there is no way you can deny the fact that Spain should have seen it coming since kick-off. Why Del Bosque chose to play all three of his passing maestros with a clearly-ineffective Riera on the wing to feed Villa and Torres is just baffling. It's like fixing three brains into a decapitated head, held on by a piece of sinew. COME ON MAN! All three of them weren't born with the gift of throwing in one decent tackle after the next. They PASS, PASS, PASS AND PASSS. Spain lacked a Senna, a Mascherano and boy, did it cost them. Furthermore, Riera's futile attempts of providing the crosses to a tightly-marked Torres dragged on for way too long. As the game approached half-time, you could see that the Spain players were upset with each other.
The Americans tower in height and La Furia Roja my foot- the team in white were the ones filled to the rim with fury! Their defence was strong, they were willing to throw in the tackles and they executed their counter attacks well which obviously, contributed to the 2-0 score line. WHERE'S THE SPIRIT YO?!
After all that Spain has achieved, I am sad to say that this isn't the best way to bow out but I remain a hopeful supporter. I am proud of the records they have broken and everything else they've picked up in the process. All the best, La Furia Roja.
“I am offered projects all the time, but I don’t feel I need to prove anything, or that I need a career to feel good about myself. I tried it before with the personal training as well as running the house, and it just made me stressed and unhappy. It wasn’t good for me and it wasn’t good for Joe and his football. I am lucky enough to be in a position where I don’t have to work.“ - Carly Zucker
HEY AT LEAST SHE DID TRY TO WORK! LOL.
Oh and I also caught Hannah Montana.
It's pretty decent and that kid in the cowboy hat's pretty darn hot. She has a couple of good SLOW tracks in the flick but the rest of them consisted mostly of shit pop buzzing and what sounded like a chipmunk rapping in the background while she dances to it.
Yeah.. that's about it.
The Reader.
Based on a book by Bernhard Schlink, this movie is about a German lawyer- Michael Berg, who in his teens had an affair with an older woman by the name of Hanna Schmitz. Hanna disappeared from his life only to resurface years later as a defendant in a war trial in which Michael was present as a student. She, along with another five women were responsible for the deaths of 300 Jewish women locked in a burning church. A copy of an untrue report on the church fire was presented during the trial in which all five women untruthfully claimed was drafted by Hanna herself. Hanna refuses to take a handwriting sample to prove the authorship of the report and immediately admits that she wrote it. Michael witnesses her take the blame and be sentenced to life in prison and discovers that she was hiding a very personal secret- something that could have helped her in the trial. Hanna was [highlight if you don't mind spoilers, if you DO mind spoilers, stop reading NOW]illiterate- she could not read nor write.
Personally, I love the story line. It is brilliant and extremely chilling but the extent on how disturbing it was to see that a secret was kept quiet at such great lengths did not come through in film. It borders on 6/10 which is a little unfortunate, really. It wasn't visually-enticing but the story line makes way for hours of pondering, searching for a logical explanation to Hanna's actions. It made me think about the different priorities of different minds. How on earth is hiding illiteracy worth taking the blame for the deaths of 300 people? How do the generation living in the shadows of the Holocaust cope?
The ability to read and write is such a beautiful gift. It's such a shame that many people in this modern age just don't know how to appreciate it. The book is such a lovely thing, with badly-kerned letters scattered all over its yellowing pages, bound by covers of varying textures printed with the end-product of what one deems it fit to be represented as. There is no way you can review a book in the scale of 0 to 10. You don't get visuals forced into yours corneas, it's all about the mind and how you picture the story in your head.
Anyway, Kate Winslet deserved her Oscar for her superb portrayal of Hanna Schmitz. Her performance was oozing with such intensity, such ferocity that it makes your jaw drop to know that Nicole Kidman had the role before she left due to pregnancy. I don't want to see Nicole Kidman naked, seriously. She's too pretty. (Yeah I don't like Nicole Kidman) Keep an eye out for 18 year-old newcomer David Kross by the way!

I am definitely going out tomorrow.
If ANY of you are free, drop me a text- like, seriously.
1. I was thisclose to completing the song for the FIRST time in my life after numerous failed attempts.... then someone interrupted my moment of joy. Fuck you.
2. The radio's playing a hokkien version of "Getting To Know You". What a pain to the ears.
3. There's no lunch.
4. Yes I am moody.
5. What? You want something too?

I watched Marie Antoinette...again.
Yes I have no life but maaan, so many things warm the heart in that movie.
So many pretty things that make you squeal with delight..
Not that I am really materialistic nor do I expect to have the best laces and shoes and macaroons in my life but...
But I can seriously use one of these right now.. sigh.

So I am still up. Damnit. My plan was to head straight to sleep after watching Kung Fu Panda but nooo.. I still can't sleep! Caught August Rush again and I shall say it once more... JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS IS LIKE THE FUCKING EPITOME OF A TALENTED JERK. Just like James McAvoy, they can play the smallest of roles and outshine the entire cast or pull you through the worst of movies.
Yeah as much as I hate that snob of a face, he has way too much talent for his own good... until he starts speaking Chinese. Even still, he outshone Chow Yun-Fat. Ha! And that's saying something even though I've never been a fan of Chow Yun Fat to begin with. K I am babbling.
Then, I got this very disturbing message from Nick on FB and K, if you're reading this... WTFLAYOUBOTHGAYDONTLATELLME.
..what to do what to do.. so bored.
When I am stressed and I don't leave the house.. I tend to splurge my money online. Here are a couple of things I bought in the past 2 weeks.
Denim blue suede laced-up wedges from PhatCulture. COD available at Old Klang Road so it's bloody convenient... and the shoes are beyond comfy!
Napoleon striped dress with detachable straps and belt from Cocktails&Martinis. I think it's a new blog but this dress reminded me a lot of Helena Bonham Carter's daydream scene in Sweeney Todd. Fits me well so yay!! ^^
Last but not least.. this purple cropped Zoo top from Pat's sister's blog- No Plain Days. Easily one of my favourite online store. They bring in the prettiest things and the product names are perfect. Hallo? Cecilia, atonement? Woah. Planning to get the Reina romper suit next.
^ yeah i don't know why but the picture turned blue on blogger. check out their store though. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE their shots!
Woohoo, a stranger came bearing gifts today! No la not a stranger exactly cause I DO know him but most of you don't! Mwahaha.
K anyway, that's besides the point. I was gonna post a pic but he's too camera-shy so yeah. Damn!
I overslept, thinking that my ringtone was actually the alarm ringing away. In other words, I had accidentally hung up on Joe. Sorry!!!! Fast forward to the more pleasant things of the day.....My very very nice online bestie treated me to lunch and got me this nice and shiny replica medal! Look!
.. and what does he get in return? Almost 30 GBs worth of songs which he has to sort out manually and 3 seasons of Arrested Development that he'll never watch. Poor thing. I bake you cookies la next time -___________-'
After he left.. I felt REALLY, REALLY sleepy. No idea why. So I just slept my afternoon away. What a waste of time, right? Making plans to go to the pasar malam tonight. Pffft!
Was doing my work from 10pm till 8.30am. I then managed 4 hours of sleep before Sha whisked me off to Kelana Jaya to get her stuff printed and then head for PJCAD to get Vernon's approval. Got home, sat in front of the iMac for less than 10 minutes before I ran some errands in Bangsar. My brain was functioning really really really slow to the point where I said:
"Eh ba, I tried to move from neutral gear to donkey three gear."
Translation: "Eh ba, I tried to move from neutral gear to D3."
I tell you............ -___-' and I STILL CAN'T FREAKING SLEEP.
Look I even managed to unconsciously bust a couple of acnes. Ugh.

No Reservations star and chef Anthony Bourdain had some harsh words for Gwyneth Paltrow and her association with chef Maria Batali. While on a panel at Seattle’s Paramount theater on Saturday, Bourdain was quick to make fun of Batali’s PBS series, Spain… On the Road Again, featuring Gwyneth Paltrow.
“Why would you go to Spain with the one bitch who refuses to eat ham?” said Bourdain.
Paltrow has stated that she adheres to a strict macrobiotic diet and will not eat any meat during the series.

No hate towards Gwyneth but..... you have GOT to love Anthony Bourdain!

How To Fail My Research Paper
A research paper is generally known as the Holy Grail of the Design Studio project. No I am not joking. It is said to be of such great use it’d expose my miniscule cerebrum to things I’ve never known before.
Unfortunately, it holds a less significant position in my mind. Those who think along the same lines as I do would call it the time-waster, the tree-killer, the ink-waster, the brain-debilitater, the counterfeit mini-Wikipedia and being the defiant youngsters that we are, we complain how sore our eyes get when we attempt to complete the stack of printed papers. Oh yes it hurts.
As if matters aren’t bad enough as it is, I chose football as my topic. Yes, football a.k.a. soccer. The mere utter of that word more often that not will be accompanied by a groan or eyebrows raised so high it’d complement a receding hairline. Some people just won’t understand what I’m going through will they?
There are many ways I can fail my research paper if I choose to do so. As my imaginary wise man once said, ‘’always attack the core”. Who’s the core? Why it would be Miss Ami herself!
Firstly, please take note that I’ve given thoughts about utilizing the conventional techniques of not handing in my paper, purposely forgetting to state the sources of my information, copying it directly from Wikipedia and mundane ideas of such. Unfortunately for Miss Ami, I consider myself a little more adventurous than that so I’d try to type out my papers in Angerthas, an ancient Tolkien language of the dwarves just so she won’t understand a thing I wrote.
Besides that, I’d tell her that I don’t understand anything at all. I’d bleach my hair and tan my face orange, go right up to her and ask –in a bimbotic tone, of course-“Miss Ami, is David Beckham a footballer?” and that “I saw a cube with many black dots on it. Is that a football, Miss Ami?” I’d also scream out, “STOP! I’M STUPID ALL RIGHT? Can you stop pointing that out already?” every time she asks me a question on the paper.
I would also do silly things. I’d fold each and every piece of paper into origami planes, chuck them into a sack and submit them to Miss Ami as an early Christmas present. If she gets upset, I’d tell her the pain of being misunderstood constantly and pretend to start making amends by folding them into pentagons and insist that they are in-sync with my football theme. After all, most footballs have pentagons on them!
Eating my research paper during class would be another great idea. I’d crumple it as loud as possible and eat it in front of Miss Ami. If she ever asks me why, I’d tell her that break was ten minutes ago and I got hungry. If that still isn’t enough to fail my research paper, I’d tell her that I suffer from excessive single-dimensionitis, a psychological disorder that causes me to have more than enough ideas but never able to be executed. Single-dimensionitis can only be cured if Miss Ami vows to stand on her head for three consecutive hours. I’d probably be sent to the counsellor, or better still, fail just more than my Literature and Composition research paper!
If calamity strikes and none of the above got on Miss Ami’s nerves, I would probably retreat to the more traditional methods. I would tell her that the turkey I had for dinner ate my homework. “I am serious! The damned turkey ate my homework!” And for dramatic effect, I’d add, “Why doesn’t anyone believe me? Why am I always misunderstood?” and start wailing in front of the whole class.
In the end, I’m pretty convinced that Miss Ami will fail my research paper with no doubts in her mind whatsoever. She’d not be driven up the wall but into the wall itself. As a bonus, I might even fail the whole project to satisfy the rebellious urge in me!
That was the best assignment I got back in Literature. Le sigh.

Just thought I should post these vectors up. A little something I did as a favor for the banners...... but note the watermark- might sell them as t-shirts as well yo!
After I fix them.. that is. Made these in a rush with my terrible pen tool skills.
Oh and I learned the difference between Beckham and Nando's extremely similar hairstyles. Shhh.

JOE'S COMING BACK ALREADY!?!?!?!?!
Mafaka I have lost all sense of time.
It wasn't THAT long ago when he told me it'd only be like 9 more days or so.
Crap crap crap! The time moves too slowly and stops too fast when you work too hard. Budak-budak sekalian, jikalau anda ingin untung duit banyak-banyak tetapi diberi peluang untuk tidur secukup-cukupnya lapan jam sehari, JANGAN masuk graphic design.
ps: no wonder lah you look so stunned when I asked you how many more days -__-'
So I went to PJCAD today. I thought there would be class but it turns out to be assessment week so yeah- I bloody left. If I won't be taught, I won't stay another minute.
My mood was pretty foul so I decided to go cari Kelvin at OU though I don't see how it's actually the humane thing to do. But hey, I calmed down first by browsing through some design books at MPH. Got some fresh ideas in my head now so here's to praying that they will work!! Didn't have any movies in mind but k la fine, wanted to go all out and watch Hannah Montana- which turned out to be almost full aka front row seats only. Opted for 17 again but it was no different so deng deng deng... that left Monsters vs Aliens. -_-'
The flick was pretty funny but everything in between the funny bits are mundane. Thank goodness for the extremely star-studded cast: Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnet <333, his wife Amy Poehler, Kiefer Sutherland, Seth Rogan, Jeffrey Tambor (!), Renee Zellweger, John Krasinki (whose character is the epitome of most men nowadays) and Rainn Wilson.
Now I am home... and panicking... again.
If Tiffany's was the cure to Holly Golighty's.. I think I found one in Chatterbox. I am brain-dead there. Blank. Completely zoned out and in peace.

I have no idea how am i gonna be able to wake up at 9am for dance class later. Seems impossible seeing that I have been sleeping UBER late this whole week thanks to the project.
But I WILL TRY.
Sha stop changing blogs la. ish.
Remember how I was dying to catch The Spirit in theatres back in what? Christmas last year? I didn't because all I got was negative reviews from my friends :(
So anyway, I finally got the chance to watch it and it wasn't THAT bad. o_O It's sleek, graphic and extremely comical. No not comical as in graphic novel comic, but FUNNY comic. The movie felt very much like a fan's take on his latest obsession. It's not about what you like but what the director likes, how he sees it and his take on bringing his visions/dreams to life. Not all thoughts in our minds make sense and we never see things in the same tone- if you get what I mean. We exaggerate- for the sake of remembering it better or just for the pure FUN of it. There's nothing real smart about the story line so I definitely enjoyed how a couple of the scenes were played out- as silly as some may be ;)
I give it a 7.5/10.
Oh and bonus 0.5 for the topless ever-so-hot-i'd-run-back-two-flights-of-stairs-to-get-the-stupid-bottle-of-water-just-to-catch-another-glimpse-of-him-on-the-tv Gabriel Macht. < yeah only Tasha knows what this means.
8/10 then!!!! :D
Today is chill day.
I did nothing but watch Alisya download her games while some old movies repeat on the iMac- which by the way, FINALLY has a functioning Adobe Illustrator!!! I had to chuck away 10gb's worth of files into the external HD for the program to open!!!!! How annoying.
:D
Look, freshly painted nails!
Starting fresh, baby!

I've lost it. One stupid decision and down to hell I fall.
Stupid college.
I've stared at this screen and meddled away for the past three fucking days. Still, I've got NOTHING.
It's robbing me of my youth and the back of my right eye has been throbbing in sync with the pain in my head.
Do I REALLY want to do this?

Question.
Who would YOU pick? George Peppard from Breakfast at Tiffany's or Christopher Plummer from Sound of Music?
PS, I think that Chris Pine is definitely the new George Peppard. They have the same glassy blue eyes! Right, ducky?
So, I was taking a break from my project and decided to give one extremely popular movie a go. 55 minutes into the flick, I can confidently say-
Twilight is a friggin' snoozefest.
Give me the strength to make full use of my 8 bucks and finish off this story which consists mostly of Kristen Stewart's open mouth and Robert Pattinson's extremely fugly make-up.
Zzzz.
Edit: Just saw the cover of the DVD which says "when you can live forever, what do you live for?"
Deep. Very deep.
But I won't live forever so yeah. ;)
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
You have no idea how glad I am of what I actually am right now.
Confusing much?
Let's just say I am initially made of mostly what person (a), person (b) and person (c) tries to outdo for attention but they always swing the wrong way which just makes it EVEN more sick for me to even be bothered to consider finding ANY sort of pride or admiration in their respective outcomes.
I am what I am.
They are the bullshit of their own inaneness.
:)
I was THISCLOSE to losing my shiz during class this morning. The assessment date which was brought forward last week is now a week later! o_O You see, I made plans to just lock myself in this room for the rest of the week to finish designing the logo, the namecard, letterhead, memo, fax, complimentary slip, receipt, certificate, sticker, application forms, timesheets etc and then go crazy the week after when everyone's back from Aussie/UK. On top of that, I was thinking hey, the faster this is done with, the more time I get to focus on the dance/MyRawk stuff/lunch with Chimera thingymagica. I didn't know whether to be glad that I got more time to complete my work.. or upset at the fact that my plans were ruined.
I think I should try finish it by this weekend anyway. T_T
On the KLSWing side of things- I completed their posters! HA!!!! Taster classes with Matt Bedell was awesome. His new moves definitely brought some zing back into the local swing scene. :)
I then rushed off to SMASH for the dance practice sessions. I freaking brought the stupid bent knees back from swing with me!!! Making a conscious effort to keep my knees straight definitely screwed up my concentration. Fortunately the steps are alright but there's going to be a lot more technique and styling needed for the comp. *panic* Still quite frustrated with how Sound of Music-ish I look when I try to pull off some of Sze's suggested shoulder-placing.
... I am now craving for Ryan's chicken soup!!! OMG.
My plan for the day was to hang out at Ducky's before we part ways. She goes for swing while I head off for practice. Turned out she was going to run an errand in BV and since I had nothing better to do.. I tagged along. :P
But that wasn't the highlight of the day...
Jun Jie actually initiated something! PIGS FLEW WEI! He was bored enough to ask us out for tea at Decanter. Shell-shocked, I was quite sure it wasn't going to happen but he picked Dao up and damn I was proved wrong!
The sweet thing even brought along his brother and gave me a Burberry sketchbook. ^^ Yay! I haven't gotten around to get myself a proper sketchbook since forever. Thank you!
Anis came over but I was too engrossed in this movie called "Closing the Ring". Ducky and I were actually discussing about Sound of Music on the way to her house and guess what? That was freaking Christopher Plummer on the tv! Ha! For that whole hour, I was just dying to know whether is Teddy dead or alive? The movie was directed by Richard Attenborough (The Great Escape, Suki!) Mischa Barton wasn't very convincing in the flick but boy oh boy wasn't Martin McCann the most adorable character ever. Still, was she worth having three guys after her? The irony of who she married just left me going.. wtf?!?!? Not satisfied though because I didn't manage to catch the first 30 minutes of the flick. Le sigh.
PS, Ducky, turns out I have seen Gregory Smith aka McAvoyMcGregorMcGuire act as well. He played Heath Ledger's brother in The Patriot. The one who got killed and had his tin soldiers melted into bullets!!! *jaw drops*
"Anne Boleyn thought only with her heart and she got her head chopped off. So her daughter Elizabeth made a vow never to marry a man. She married a country. Forget boys. Keep your eye on the prize. You can't make people love you, but you can make them fear you." - Blair Waldorf
Gossip Girl brings history and logic together.
I attended WeiHan's farewell lunch with the ex-Chimera colleagues this afternoon. I actually woke up a tad bit late so I only managed to brush my teeth, grab the nearest dress and ran out of the house... to find that none of them were ready for lunch just yet. Hahaha! My hair was still a mess!
The meal at Marmalade, BVII was just as Foo described it- a deja vu. Another farewell lol. Pui Kum and I had a master plan of sharing two different dishes so we would at least be able to boast that we've sampled more than just the damned pastas at the restaurant :P The Lebanese wrap with chicken, turkey, cheese, spinach (whatever it was called, it definitely had the longest name on the menu) tasted pretty good. The chicken burger wasn't too bad either. Loved the avacado!
Picked Tasha up before heading to One Utama to get my tops for the team event. I tried out several colours and we decided that I look best in the yellow or blue. Unfortunately, they don't stock the blue in my size so I have to get them from OUG Plaza. Hmph! Got Sze's in pink instead so urm.. that's only half the business settled. Sigh.
Walked around OU searching for a perfect present for Alysha's friend. (Who?!) Turned out it was more challenging than expected. Have you seen the recent prices for accesories? 60 goddamned bucks for a wooden cut-out pendant!!!! Settled on getting her a sequined zipper bag thingymagica instead. Hahaha!
Stopped by Aeroline to get the bus tickets for the Singapore trip to find that I only remembered the BU departure date and not the one in Singapore. Conversing on the phone with Sha didn't help either cause I kept thinking that 25th is a Friday when it's actually a Saturday and yadi yada. @_@ Hand me that gingko biloba won't you? Kelvin ended up doing all the talking so I was like.. urm.. okaaay wtf am I supposed to be referring to at the counter? Oh well...I'll just pay. At least that's done with. Wooohooo! I'll do the rest of the planning beyond Harbour Front after the comps.
Bought another Lauren's novel at MPH since the Barnaby one is boring me to near-death. He's so lame. This one better be good.. PLEASE be good.
Ended my day out at Ducky's. Azalea's grown so much! Oh and she tried to hold me hostage again for staring at her boyfriend Jamal. Le sigh. He's all yours darling, I got my Gaspard.
:)
Pityf*ck.
Get it?
Idiot!
Oyy I am exhausted!
I only managed to fall asleep minutes before six in the morn. Went for dance at 10.30 and felt so freaking lost during the team practise. STEP BACK, STEP BACK!!! Went out for a quick lunch and returned to SMASH to practise the individual dances. OMG I never realised how technically-difficult the cha cha is. It's either the hips or the feet. Like.. pleeeease, work together!!! Left the studios at 5.00, hung out at Starbucks with I-Vee (CARAMEL FRAPPUCINO!!! INDULGE! INDULGE!) and Sze till 6.30 before heading home.
We had freaking crabs for dinner.
The family's been very weird. It was roasted duck and buttermilk curry prawns yesterday you know? o_O
Bye bye waistline.
THANK YOU XABI!!!!!
For that, you can keep the beard.
ALL YOUR FAULT LA WILSON!
...gee so romantic.
Does he even need to be saved? Seriously.
I can't help but care to know how he's doing. I don't want to spend so much time helping him only to find that I've been wrong all along. It's bad enough I am psychotic at times, but to start overreacting on an issue like this? I don't think I can take the shame.
Sigh. 7 years and counting. Stupid bugger.
According to the results of a Facebook quiz I've taken recently, I will make it as the sole survivor of a horror flick. o_O My answers were mostly along the lines of "yelling while running away". Since I refuse to check on any survivors or deaths of villains, I will have to watch Deebs die as the second victim. Hahaha.
Okay, not funny. I just ditched my best friend in a horror flick.
Pffft. Shame on me!
I am finally broke.
Tadah!
Fulfilled my promise of dropping by Nike Sportswear at The Curve to meet Alvin. He was busy the two times I walked past so he came over for lunch at IKEA. :D
I then caught Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It fares a 7/10 on my scale. You could have entered the theaters an hour late and you wouldn't have missed anything. The good stuff was all saturated towards the final hour of the movie and the story line started off very weakly. Since this falls under the summer blockbuster category, it's the action scenes that count. There is definitely a massive improvement in that aspect compared to the first installment of the series. This time, the scenes are all filmed in daylight. Yessssssssssss!! So you can actually see the blows being exchanged and the poor cat/tiger thingy getting scrunched to its death and shits. It's more brutal if you imagined that it was the real deal. I mean, robots being torn apart doesn't really get you excited....... or does it? LOL. That aside, you have to give it to John Turturro. He's such a comedian. I loved the scrotum and top secret, don't tell my mother joke. Definitely my favourite character. :D
Is this the king of all summer blockbuster movies for 2009? In my opinion (which only matters in this page, it's totally your call) it isn't. Star Trek was much, much, better. It had less action scenes but it struck a very good balance with its story line. Star Trek was consistently entertaining throughout the 2 hours and somehow, there was more space for emotions to be toyed around with compared to the highly action-saturated Transformers.
OOOOOOOOOOOOH AND I KNOW WHAT MY NEW WALL COLOR WILL BE!!! IKEA actually states out the wall colors they use yo! Haha!
Billy Jean's playing on the radio ...and it was just a night ago when I demonstrated the moon walk.
You saw this day coming. The day where you believe that his eccentrics would amount to nothing and it's just the end of the life of another glorious man. You don't need a face to identify Michael. His music, his dance moves, his eccentrics, it's all him. Truly the epitome of an icon.
Rest In Peace, Michael.
Would you have been able to find a house if these were your directions?
"House number 8 behind a school near a petrol station in Bangsar"
I CAN!!!!! :D
Spain 0-2 USA
I am obviously gutted by this loss but there is no way you can deny the fact that Spain should have seen it coming since kick-off. Why Del Bosque chose to play all three of his passing maestros with a clearly-ineffective Riera on the wing to feed Villa and Torres is just baffling. It's like fixing three brains into a decapitated head, held on by a piece of sinew. COME ON MAN! All three of them weren't born with the gift of throwing in one decent tackle after the next. They PASS, PASS, PASS AND PASSS. Spain lacked a Senna, a Mascherano and boy, did it cost them. Furthermore, Riera's futile attempts of providing the crosses to a tightly-marked Torres dragged on for way too long. As the game approached half-time, you could see that the Spain players were upset with each other.
The Americans tower in height and La Furia Roja my foot- the team in white were the ones filled to the rim with fury! Their defence was strong, they were willing to throw in the tackles and they executed their counter attacks well which obviously, contributed to the 2-0 score line. WHERE'S THE SPIRIT YO?!
After all that Spain has achieved, I am sad to say that this isn't the best way to bow out but I remain a hopeful supporter. I am proud of the records they have broken and everything else they've picked up in the process. All the best, La Furia Roja.
“I am offered projects all the time, but I don’t feel I need to prove anything, or that I need a career to feel good about myself. I tried it before with the personal training as well as running the house, and it just made me stressed and unhappy. It wasn’t good for me and it wasn’t good for Joe and his football. I am lucky enough to be in a position where I don’t have to work.“ - Carly Zucker
HEY AT LEAST SHE DID TRY TO WORK! LOL.
Oh and I also caught Hannah Montana.
It's pretty decent and that kid in the cowboy hat's pretty darn hot. She has a couple of good SLOW tracks in the flick but the rest of them consisted mostly of shit pop buzzing and what sounded like a chipmunk rapping in the background while she dances to it.
Yeah.. that's about it.
The Reader.
Based on a book by Bernhard Schlink, this movie is about a German lawyer- Michael Berg, who in his teens had an affair with an older woman by the name of Hanna Schmitz. Hanna disappeared from his life only to resurface years later as a defendant in a war trial in which Michael was present as a student. She, along with another five women were responsible for the deaths of 300 Jewish women locked in a burning church. A copy of an untrue report on the church fire was presented during the trial in which all five women untruthfully claimed was drafted by Hanna herself. Hanna refuses to take a handwriting sample to prove the authorship of the report and immediately admits that she wrote it. Michael witnesses her take the blame and be sentenced to life in prison and discovers that she was hiding a very personal secret- something that could have helped her in the trial. Hanna was [highlight if you don't mind spoilers, if you DO mind spoilers, stop reading NOW]illiterate- she could not read nor write.
Personally, I love the story line. It is brilliant and extremely chilling but the extent on how disturbing it was to see that a secret was kept quiet at such great lengths did not come through in film. It borders on 6/10 which is a little unfortunate, really. It wasn't visually-enticing but the story line makes way for hours of pondering, searching for a logical explanation to Hanna's actions. It made me think about the different priorities of different minds. How on earth is hiding illiteracy worth taking the blame for the deaths of 300 people? How do the generation living in the shadows of the Holocaust cope?
The ability to read and write is such a beautiful gift. It's such a shame that many people in this modern age just don't know how to appreciate it. The book is such a lovely thing, with badly-kerned letters scattered all over its yellowing pages, bound by covers of varying textures printed with the end-product of what one deems it fit to be represented as. There is no way you can review a book in the scale of 0 to 10. You don't get visuals forced into yours corneas, it's all about the mind and how you picture the story in your head.
Anyway, Kate Winslet deserved her Oscar for her superb portrayal of Hanna Schmitz. Her performance was oozing with such intensity, such ferocity that it makes your jaw drop to know that Nicole Kidman had the role before she left due to pregnancy. I don't want to see Nicole Kidman naked, seriously. She's too pretty. (Yeah I don't like Nicole Kidman) Keep an eye out for 18 year-old newcomer David Kross by the way!
I am definitely going out tomorrow.
If ANY of you are free, drop me a text- like, seriously.
1. I was thisclose to completing the song for the FIRST time in my life after numerous failed attempts.... then someone interrupted my moment of joy. Fuck you.
2. The radio's playing a hokkien version of "Getting To Know You". What a pain to the ears.
3. There's no lunch.
4. Yes I am moody.
5. What? You want something too?
The fat one wants to say hi to Ducky, Nami and Sha.
I watched Marie Antoinette...again.
Yes I have no life but maaan, so many things warm the heart in that movie.
So many pretty things that make you squeal with delight..
Not that I am really materialistic nor do I expect to have the best laces and shoes and macaroons in my life but...
But I can seriously use one of these right now.. sigh.
Caramel Macchiato.
So I am still up. Damnit. My plan was to head straight to sleep after watching Kung Fu Panda but nooo.. I still can't sleep! Caught August Rush again and I shall say it once more... JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS IS LIKE THE FUCKING EPITOME OF A TALENTED JERK. Just like James McAvoy, they can play the smallest of roles and outshine the entire cast or pull you through the worst of movies.
Yeah as much as I hate that snob of a face, he has way too much talent for his own good... until he starts speaking Chinese. Even still, he outshone Chow Yun-Fat. Ha! And that's saying something even though I've never been a fan of Chow Yun Fat to begin with. K I am babbling.
Then, I got this very disturbing message from Nick on FB and K, if you're reading this... WTFLAYOUBOTHGAYDONTLATELLME.
..what to do what to do.. so bored.
When I am stressed and I don't leave the house.. I tend to splurge my money online. Here are a couple of things I bought in the past 2 weeks.
Denim blue suede laced-up wedges from PhatCulture. COD available at Old Klang Road so it's bloody convenient... and the shoes are beyond comfy!
Napoleon striped dress with detachable straps and belt from Cocktails&Martinis. I think it's a new blog but this dress reminded me a lot of Helena Bonham Carter's daydream scene in Sweeney Todd. Fits me well so yay!! ^^
Last but not least.. this purple cropped Zoo top from Pat's sister's blog- No Plain Days. Easily one of my favourite online store. They bring in the prettiest things and the product names are perfect. Hallo? Cecilia, atonement? Woah. Planning to get the Reina romper suit next.
^ yeah i don't know why but the picture turned blue on blogger. check out their store though. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE their shots!
Woohoo, a stranger came bearing gifts today! No la not a stranger exactly cause I DO know him but most of you don't! Mwahaha.
K anyway, that's besides the point. I was gonna post a pic but he's too camera-shy so yeah. Damn!
I overslept, thinking that my ringtone was actually the alarm ringing away. In other words, I had accidentally hung up on Joe. Sorry!!!! Fast forward to the more pleasant things of the day.....My very very nice online bestie treated me to lunch and got me this nice and shiny replica medal! Look!
.. and what does he get in return? Almost 30 GBs worth of songs which he has to sort out manually and 3 seasons of Arrested Development that he'll never watch. Poor thing. I bake you cookies la next time -___________-'
After he left.. I felt REALLY, REALLY sleepy. No idea why. So I just slept my afternoon away. What a waste of time, right? Making plans to go to the pasar malam tonight. Pffft!
Was doing my work from 10pm till 8.30am. I then managed 4 hours of sleep before Sha whisked me off to Kelana Jaya to get her stuff printed and then head for PJCAD to get Vernon's approval. Got home, sat in front of the iMac for less than 10 minutes before I ran some errands in Bangsar. My brain was functioning really really really slow to the point where I said:
"Eh ba, I tried to move from neutral gear to donkey three gear."
Translation: "Eh ba, I tried to move from neutral gear to D3."
I tell you............ -___-' and I STILL CAN'T FREAKING SLEEP.
Look I even managed to unconsciously bust a couple of acnes. Ugh.
No Reservations star and chef Anthony Bourdain had some harsh words for Gwyneth Paltrow and her association with chef Maria Batali. While on a panel at Seattle’s Paramount theater on Saturday, Bourdain was quick to make fun of Batali’s PBS series, Spain… On the Road Again, featuring Gwyneth Paltrow.
“Why would you go to Spain with the one bitch who refuses to eat ham?” said Bourdain.
Paltrow has stated that she adheres to a strict macrobiotic diet and will not eat any meat during the series.

No hate towards Gwyneth but..... you have GOT to love Anthony Bourdain!
How To Fail My Research Paper
A research paper is generally known as the Holy Grail of the Design Studio project. No I am not joking. It is said to be of such great use it’d expose my miniscule cerebrum to things I’ve never known before.
Unfortunately, it holds a less significant position in my mind. Those who think along the same lines as I do would call it the time-waster, the tree-killer, the ink-waster, the brain-debilitater, the counterfeit mini-Wikipedia and being the defiant youngsters that we are, we complain how sore our eyes get when we attempt to complete the stack of printed papers. Oh yes it hurts.
As if matters aren’t bad enough as it is, I chose football as my topic. Yes, football a.k.a. soccer. The mere utter of that word more often that not will be accompanied by a groan or eyebrows raised so high it’d complement a receding hairline. Some people just won’t understand what I’m going through will they?
There are many ways I can fail my research paper if I choose to do so. As my imaginary wise man once said, ‘’always attack the core”. Who’s the core? Why it would be Miss Ami herself!
Firstly, please take note that I’ve given thoughts about utilizing the conventional techniques of not handing in my paper, purposely forgetting to state the sources of my information, copying it directly from Wikipedia and mundane ideas of such. Unfortunately for Miss Ami, I consider myself a little more adventurous than that so I’d try to type out my papers in Angerthas, an ancient Tolkien language of the dwarves just so she won’t understand a thing I wrote.
Besides that, I’d tell her that I don’t understand anything at all. I’d bleach my hair and tan my face orange, go right up to her and ask –in a bimbotic tone, of course-“Miss Ami, is David Beckham a footballer?” and that “I saw a cube with many black dots on it. Is that a football, Miss Ami?” I’d also scream out, “STOP! I’M STUPID ALL RIGHT? Can you stop pointing that out already?” every time she asks me a question on the paper.
I would also do silly things. I’d fold each and every piece of paper into origami planes, chuck them into a sack and submit them to Miss Ami as an early Christmas present. If she gets upset, I’d tell her the pain of being misunderstood constantly and pretend to start making amends by folding them into pentagons and insist that they are in-sync with my football theme. After all, most footballs have pentagons on them!
Eating my research paper during class would be another great idea. I’d crumple it as loud as possible and eat it in front of Miss Ami. If she ever asks me why, I’d tell her that break was ten minutes ago and I got hungry. If that still isn’t enough to fail my research paper, I’d tell her that I suffer from excessive single-dimensionitis, a psychological disorder that causes me to have more than enough ideas but never able to be executed. Single-dimensionitis can only be cured if Miss Ami vows to stand on her head for three consecutive hours. I’d probably be sent to the counsellor, or better still, fail just more than my Literature and Composition research paper!
If calamity strikes and none of the above got on Miss Ami’s nerves, I would probably retreat to the more traditional methods. I would tell her that the turkey I had for dinner ate my homework. “I am serious! The damned turkey ate my homework!” And for dramatic effect, I’d add, “Why doesn’t anyone believe me? Why am I always misunderstood?” and start wailing in front of the whole class.
In the end, I’m pretty convinced that Miss Ami will fail my research paper with no doubts in her mind whatsoever. She’d not be driven up the wall but into the wall itself. As a bonus, I might even fail the whole project to satisfy the rebellious urge in me!
That was the best assignment I got back in Literature. Le sigh.
Just thought I should post these vectors up. A little something I did as a favor for the banners...... but note the watermark- might sell them as t-shirts as well yo!
After I fix them.. that is. Made these in a rush with my terrible pen tool skills.
Oh and I learned the difference between Beckham and Nando's extremely similar hairstyles. Shhh.
JOE'S COMING BACK ALREADY!?!?!?!?!
Mafaka I have lost all sense of time.
It wasn't THAT long ago when he told me it'd only be like 9 more days or so.
Crap crap crap! The time moves too slowly and stops too fast when you work too hard. Budak-budak sekalian, jikalau anda ingin untung duit banyak-banyak tetapi diberi peluang untuk tidur secukup-cukupnya lapan jam sehari, JANGAN masuk graphic design.
ps: no wonder lah you look so stunned when I asked you how many more days -__-'
So I went to PJCAD today. I thought there would be class but it turns out to be assessment week so yeah- I bloody left. If I won't be taught, I won't stay another minute.
My mood was pretty foul so I decided to go cari Kelvin at OU though I don't see how it's actually the humane thing to do. But hey, I calmed down first by browsing through some design books at MPH. Got some fresh ideas in my head now so here's to praying that they will work!! Didn't have any movies in mind but k la fine, wanted to go all out and watch Hannah Montana- which turned out to be almost full aka front row seats only. Opted for 17 again but it was no different so deng deng deng... that left Monsters vs Aliens. -_-'
The flick was pretty funny but everything in between the funny bits are mundane. Thank goodness for the extremely star-studded cast: Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnet <333, his wife Amy Poehler, Kiefer Sutherland, Seth Rogan, Jeffrey Tambor (!), Renee Zellweger, John Krasinki (whose character is the epitome of most men nowadays) and Rainn Wilson.
Now I am home... and panicking... again.
If Tiffany's was the cure to Holly Golighty's.. I think I found one in Chatterbox. I am brain-dead there. Blank. Completely zoned out and in peace.
I have no idea how am i gonna be able to wake up at 9am for dance class later. Seems impossible seeing that I have been sleeping UBER late this whole week thanks to the project.
But I WILL TRY.
Sha stop changing blogs la. ish.
Remember how I was dying to catch The Spirit in theatres back in what? Christmas last year? I didn't because all I got was negative reviews from my friends :(
So anyway, I finally got the chance to watch it and it wasn't THAT bad. o_O It's sleek, graphic and extremely comical. No not comical as in graphic novel comic, but FUNNY comic. The movie felt very much like a fan's take on his latest obsession. It's not about what you like but what the director likes, how he sees it and his take on bringing his visions/dreams to life. Not all thoughts in our minds make sense and we never see things in the same tone- if you get what I mean. We exaggerate- for the sake of remembering it better or just for the pure FUN of it. There's nothing real smart about the story line so I definitely enjoyed how a couple of the scenes were played out- as silly as some may be ;)
I give it a 7.5/10.
Oh and bonus 0.5 for the topless ever-so-hot-i'd-run-back-two-flights-of-stairs-to-get-the-stupid-bottle-of-water-just-to-catch-another-glimpse-of-him-on-the-tv Gabriel Macht. < yeah only Tasha knows what this means.
8/10 then!!!! :D
Today is chill day.
I did nothing but watch Alisya download her games while some old movies repeat on the iMac- which by the way, FINALLY has a functioning Adobe Illustrator!!! I had to chuck away 10gb's worth of files into the external HD for the program to open!!!!! How annoying.
:D
Look, freshly painted nails!
Starting fresh, baby!
I've lost it. One stupid decision and down to hell I fall.
Stupid college.
I've stared at this screen and meddled away for the past three fucking days. Still, I've got NOTHING.
It's robbing me of my youth and the back of my right eye has been throbbing in sync with the pain in my head.
Do I REALLY want to do this?
Question.
Who would YOU pick? George Peppard from Breakfast at Tiffany's or Christopher Plummer from Sound of Music?
PS, I think that Chris Pine is definitely the new George Peppard. They have the same glassy blue eyes! Right, ducky?
So, I was taking a break from my project and decided to give one extremely popular movie a go. 55 minutes into the flick, I can confidently say-
Twilight is a friggin' snoozefest.
Give me the strength to make full use of my 8 bucks and finish off this story which consists mostly of Kristen Stewart's open mouth and Robert Pattinson's extremely fugly make-up.
Zzzz.
Edit: Just saw the cover of the DVD which says "when you can live forever, what do you live for?"
Deep. Very deep.
But I won't live forever so yeah. ;)
You have no idea how glad I am of what I actually am right now.
Confusing much?
Let's just say I am initially made of mostly what person (a), person (b) and person (c) tries to outdo for attention but they always swing the wrong way which just makes it EVEN more sick for me to even be bothered to consider finding ANY sort of pride or admiration in their respective outcomes.
I am what I am.
They are the bullshit of their own inaneness.
:)
I was THISCLOSE to losing my shiz during class this morning. The assessment date which was brought forward last week is now a week later! o_O You see, I made plans to just lock myself in this room for the rest of the week to finish designing the logo, the namecard, letterhead, memo, fax, complimentary slip, receipt, certificate, sticker, application forms, timesheets etc and then go crazy the week after when everyone's back from Aussie/UK. On top of that, I was thinking hey, the faster this is done with, the more time I get to focus on the dance/MyRawk stuff/lunch with Chimera thingymagica. I didn't know whether to be glad that I got more time to complete my work.. or upset at the fact that my plans were ruined.
I think I should try finish it by this weekend anyway. T_T
On the KLSWing side of things- I completed their posters! HA!!!! Taster classes with Matt Bedell was awesome. His new moves definitely brought some zing back into the local swing scene. :)
I then rushed off to SMASH for the dance practice sessions. I freaking brought the stupid bent knees back from swing with me!!! Making a conscious effort to keep my knees straight definitely screwed up my concentration. Fortunately the steps are alright but there's going to be a lot more technique and styling needed for the comp. *panic* Still quite frustrated with how Sound of Music-ish I look when I try to pull off some of Sze's suggested shoulder-placing.
... I am now craving for Ryan's chicken soup!!! OMG.
The 5-feet tall tapir has wandered off again. With a liverbird on her back, she left behind that hot french boyfriend of hers for a layout still undecided.
