Days of Delirium

As much as you will be, I am very amazed at my capability to still spend some hours in front of the television and here writing a post although my examination is approaching way faster than I could even spell out 'E.X.A.M.I.N.A.T.I.O.N'. Anyway, I had thrown away my relevance down the window the moment The Amazing Race Asia 3 started. With the final 5 teams remaining (2 of them are from Malaysia, hooray!), I got to make this room for this one. Teams from Malaysia (Ida & Tania and Bernie & Henry) were the bottom two in the last episode. To make things even unpleasant, Ida & Tania had come in last place for 2 consecutive times in a row and how blessed, both were non-elimination leg of the race. But, not this leg. Someone has got to go this episode. And it turned out, Ida & Tania managed to score 3rd spot (actually 2nd, had it not for the 30min penalty imposed for coming in last twice in a row) and, this is the worst part for me, Henry & Bernie came in last and...

I already told that I wasn't the one following the flow. I'm just like (the late) Isabella Blow, where unknowns excite me as much as big names excite others. While browsing for songs to be downloaded, I came across this particular lad and although I never heard of him until tonight, I somehow took a chance by listening to his tune. His sound is pretty much a cross between slow ballads by Deep Purple, Sade's easiness and a less mellow Damien Rice. Yes, with a little touch of James Morrison and James Blunt in 'Back to Bedlam'. In his eleventh track entitled 'Do Me Right', he sounded almost like Deep Purple in 'Travelling Soldier'. I must say this album, White Lies, is a very, very perfect tune for a silent night alone or just when you're in need of a mellow-easy-listening tune while you're alone or on a rainy day. In fact, I found this one very soothing and helpful by 'accompanying' me studying late at night. A real stress-free inducer....

Brandy - Right Here (Departed) [HD] by wonderful-life1989 Condolences to my BFF, Ann Jie with the demise of her father after a long battle with lung cancer. You're a great girl and you have all my love and support whenever you need it. Wished I had not bought the ticket so I could be with you, comfort you and tell you everything will be alright as then. Then again, we made plans and had no clue whatsoever of what the future holds for us. And bon voyage to Adelaide for my stranger, Nik. Go and return safely. Departing - in any way we are. Here's a favourite song of mine at the moment, which fits perfectly during this difficult time: Right Here (Departed) by Brandy.

I have so many things to do with my final examination approaching! I should be studying hard (like really hard) and complete all remaining assignments, but I just have to take a time-off and write about the thing that I like, undoubtly. Fashion. That's what I like. Call me queer, fag or whatever labels that you want but the only labels that I like and allow in my life are the ones available in malls and shopping centers (chewah). Calvin Klein started the whole trend of designer jeans way back in 1980s with its equally phenomenal advertisement campaign featuring Brooke Shields that catapulted her to what she is now. From there on, other designers have come out with their own line of jeans like Armani (Armani Jeans) and Versace (Versace Jeans Couture, VJC). Brooke Shields for CKJ, pre-Photoshop era Now, we have so many designer jeans all around offering pride and class to the wearer than style-wise or for the sake of the fitting. We wear designer jeans because we want that par...

I never had the voice, nor the capability to go karaoke. But this time around, my lovely pals dragged me along to RedBox Karaoke in The Curve for some ol' good time! It's karaoke, so not much can be said right? First song of the day: Rihanna's Take a Bow . They sang it, I'm clueless about this song. Sakina and Zafirah - both are still single to those interested *winks* My singing prowess (you know I'm kidding) Happy bunch! Faris and Hana (along with her 'longkang') Aside jumping around, making fools of ourselves, singing and dancing and eating between those, we did nothing else. This is my first experience going karaoke-ing and I have to say that I'm not much of a singing person. I just go there to be with my wonderful friends :) We were there from 11am to 2pm. RM16 per person inclusive of a lunch meal ( Ann Jie , I told you I put RM16, not RM6 laaa). Nice, yes?

I am writing this at 3.15 in the morning, just after completing my presentation and assignment, due this coming Monday. Before I head to bed and rounds off my day with a nice, deep slumber (hopefully), I just had to post this one. This had been long past-due, yet still relevant and resonates each day in my daily life. First, let me ask you: What is a friend to you? I don't have a specific answer for that but should you lay people in front of me, I dare point at those whom I regarded as my 'friends' and I daresay they too will point back at me as theirs. For the past few days, I've been walking like a zombie on 'Shaun and the Dead' due to my sprained ankle. Many thanks for that ginormous pothole residing on a particular road in UM, which I stepped into, unconsciously of course. I could barely lift my left foot, let alone to walk. And don't ever think of me gliding my way to the door, down my apartment, walk to the taxi stand and make my way to the clin...

If New York City’s signature fruit is the apple, then its signature sound is the ambulance siren. It seems like all day, everyday, people are getting hurt and the whole city has to hear about it. But, what about injuries that don’t get a siren? Whether you’re falling into a hole in a street, or possibly falling back in love – just how dangerous is an open heart? That was what Carrie Bradshaw said in the eleventh episode of Sex and the City Season 6. While watching it to unwind myself, I couldn’t help but to ponder at the simple, blatant truth of it. Just how dangerous an open heart is. Some people are willing to trade possibly almost everything earthly for luck in love, or perhaps just to be in a relationship with someone. Others got it without wanting or desiring it and let it go whenever it passes by. Are we that desperate to fall in love? Or is it just for the sake of being in a relationship? The age-old question of when-are-you-going-to-get-married seems like a...

I already told you that I LOVE shoes. This one is a little bit quirky and silly, but I just loved it the moment I saw it in Tangs Pavilion. I went to Tangs Pavilion last week for its cardmembers' sale preview , which members were entitled for additional 10-20% discount. I was not a member but my hommie, Abg Ayi was. I just got to tag along whenever I sniff a place with Eau-de-Sale scent. This one is a slip-on and for the first time, I ignore the label because it is SO cute! And silly too! Why not have a little bit of silly fun with yourself once a while, right? It won't hurt! A decent tee, khakis shorts, a messenger bag, shades and -voila- these shoes. That would make a perfect weekend around the city! Happy day!

Today, a close friend of mine was officially out of his a-year-long relationship with a guy - because the guy was getting married and (this is the best part) he had only told about it four days prior to the solemnation day. No prize for telling who was the most devastated one. What has the world come to now? Do we live in lies just to fulfill our needs and pleasure? There will be times in life when we have to just as ourselves - no shielded, guarded personality or trying to be someone else when we thought that would give us better outlook. The time to strip off lies and face the truth right in front of our faces. However, most of us passed it away. We lie everyday to everyone - big or small. When did lying become the new 'it' thing? Is lie the new black? Come to think of it, it has been long originated, eversince that single tailor lied to the infamously-stupid Emperor about 'his new clothes'. And as children back then, we had always been entertained with stories like h...

This is not about Justin Timberlake, by the way. I tried my hands on the newly installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended in my laptop and coincidently, there is a picture of me that needs an alteration because I look like a pervert meets sleepy, beside my Polaroid-lover pal Faris. I tried the ‘Liquify’ tool under ‘Image’ bar, which allows me to drag a certain point of the picture without affecting other parts. Oh, and it also allows you to make the image fuller or thinner – very convenient for the lips and the boobs (but only for girls). Note: Normally, I don’t alter my photos digitally, except for amusement purposes. However, this is a different case because my face look, err, ‘perverse’. This has got to stop and something needs to be done. Being a rookie on Photoshop, I ended up making the photo rather weird. I did managed to fix the sleepy eyes (sort of) but the smile? That looks terribly plastic and plain weird. Judge it for yourself. Before. Aiyo I can't even bear looking at myse...
