Somewhat A Vocal Spark

Maroon 5 - Little Of Your Time

It was Sports Day this morning. This year's kinda disappointing compared to last year. I was supposed to take pictures for my school's Editorial Board. I heard it's kinda a good testimonial to join the school's Ed Board. So, I was thinking 'what the heck' and gave it a try. I don't seem to cut out for it tho. They require you to walk around throughout the whole event taking repetative pictures. Plus, they have more than a couple of photographers. So basically they will have multiple shots of the same frame. Kinda silly ain't it? I thought I just had to take pictures at a certain time of an event. Suddenly this 'fella' came over to me and went ballistic, demanding the reason why I was on 'break'. Seriously. I thought my job was done cause' I took about 180 pictures of the Marching Event. But nooooo, they want us to go deep fried under the sun. I don't mind working hard for it, but the system seem so darn silly to me. We can actually take shifts instead of every single one of us in the field, taking the same pictures just at different angle. And because the 'seniors of the board' have been taking pictures for hours under the sun, they became so hostile and bossy. Urgh, I don't think I'm patient enough for that. Kinda in a dillema now. Can't decide whether to put up with it or just drop the idea of joining.

Oh, during the relay events they had other schools over for inter-school relay. The guy atheletes were smoking hott I tell ya!! Funny, why can't OUR school's atheletes be that steamy?? Went out for lunch and some shopping with Nutty, Sarah and Sammeh after that. Funny, we went shopping at SS2. There were a few interesting boutiques there which sell clothes that are really pretty!

Anyway, I'm feeling kinda mixed up today. After having this little chat with Nutty. She was talking about her huge family. That's a baggage she had to carry being a Grako. Urm, more politely she's called an Eurasion. That conversation really stirred up emotions and memories I tried to eliminate for some time now. A huge family can be really troublesome sometimes. Scratch that, they ARE troublesome. In my case, having a big (not huge tho) family really damaged my relationship with someone. Because when you have everyone related around you, something so insignificant can spread like a bush fire. Extended family members really tend to mendle with one's life. They simple can't shut up and leave you alone. Maybe not everyone agrees to this. But apparently, that's exactly my case. If only they didn't barge their sticky nose into the situation, things could have lasted till today. But I guess life is meant to be fucked up at times. Probably I can't blame them for that silent shaky relationship. But it did seem like an reassurance at that time. It still does. Baaaah... I just wish they would stop and leave us alone. Ever had an experience with a nosy auntie who goes "eh, eh... your son/daughter/husband/brother/mother/father did this yada-fucking-yada"??? Sounds familiar doesn't it?? That's what ruined things. I just missed those times when things were untainted. I guess some wounds are meant to be left unhealed huh?

Alright, I'll stop ranting about this meaninglessly. I've been ranting about so many things lately. Thankfully Nutty was there to lend me her ear. She seem to love listening, a good listener! Gah, sorry Nut!! I think I'm about to go mad. One minute I'm ranting about something, the next minute I'm going hyper over other things like our English Drama and just joking around about freaking nonsence. Hmm... probably it's all that "raging hormones" shit they have been talking about xD

Gotta run now. So much of homework to catch up with. Been putting them behind for far too long and now their mounting up the peak. Speaking of "Yikes!", I need to buck up pronto!
some wounds won't heal - some wounds won't heal - some wounds won't heal

What's Behind Richard's Door?

Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now

Hey. Guess what?? Come on, ask me "what". Seriously, ask "what"! xD

I updated my Friendster profile after approximately 21 months. That's almost 2 years!! I've been inactive for THAT long. Well, I recently signed up for Adverlets, to get more money that is. They asked to join Adverlets group on Friendster. So, I stumbled onto my really old old profile with old old things about me and old old pictures. At the same time I was bored, so I updated it! I know, I know... So what right? But after all the things I said about Friendster (I was kinda against it because of the number of people who has Friendster - which made it kinda meaningless), it's really ironic that I actually decided to update it. So, yeah.

Well, today's a dedication to my dad =D

JunHsien thinks he looks like Jackie Chan... LOL!!! I know, where on Earth right??


THIS is the real Jackie Chan. See... not even close. My dad's more yeng lahh!!! xD

To my protective dad who thinks I'm still his little girl. I love you loads. Although there are some times when I feel like you're pushing me over the cliff with your over-protectiveness. Thanks for all the things you have done for all of us!! xoxoxo Happy Father's Day!

Well, it's not like he's ever gonna visit my blog but Owh Well... xD Oh, and my mom made a very lame comment when I told her a "really weird" friend of mine thinks that her husband looks like a HongKong superstar. She simply said, "Your friend thinks your father look like Jackie Chan, say... He looks more like belacan!!" and she laughed to herself. *silence* SO LAME LAH!!!

My class has decided to present Phantom of The Opera for our English Drama. We'll be competing against other classes. The vibe's so competitive I tell ya. Seems like some of my classmates have been harassing other classes about their ideas xD It's gonna be so exciting!!!

Law and Order Over the Rest

Son Volt - World Waits For You

Just came back from a Dietlem Warehouse Sale. That's where they sell stuff like cereals, health bars, Oreo, Ritz, root beers, Colgate, Scholl, Heinz, etc... for really a cheap price. Then again, all warehouse sales are rather disappointing. Bought a couple of things only. I really expected much because I saw people leaving with CARTONS of food. So, I figured this people really fell for the catch. Tricked by the shocking offers and buying unnecessary items which will eventually expire and dumped into the bin. Well, I assume... xD Anyway, there were cars double parking at every angle to the extend that the traffic cops came to "distribute" summones.

Speaking of cops, I just highly dispise Malaysian cops. I'm not gonna touch on corruption here because it's kind of a sensitive issue and I wouldn't wanna be sort after by our shallow minded government. Our Malaysian cops are so... GRUMPY! Well, I don't have a proper word for that. But my point is, they think that just because they're feared, they over conquer us. I find that these cops really take they're authority for granted. I mean, look at cops from overseas (Sorry, but I HAD to compare), they're totally friendly. Those cops use their authority to reach others as an example, in a really friendly manner. Unlike our local police, commanding us here and there and expecting us to look up to them. So, the thing is, I think that people in our country FEAR the cops but DO NOT look up to them as an example. Well, in other words, what's there to look up to? Sometimes looking at em gives us snorts of dispise. Why can't they be more friendly? Why can't they just reach out to us more like a role model? Do they actually fret that by being friendly, commoners will step over their head? I mean, COME ON! You can be friendly and well-respected at the same time. They expect us to follow every order with FEAR just because they have the glaring silver badge and a full round ammo. Excuse me, but grumpy Law & Order is not what I, nor any other kids, will look up to.

I seem to be out of proper words lately, my words seem to be stuck. So, bear with me as my "creativity" comes to a halt.

Went for a Genting trip on Friday with the Leo Club. It was a bomb! I had tonnes of fun. Although the after math ain't that great, but I had a great time with the people. The only downside to the whole trip was the weather. It was raining every half an hour or so. So, when we lined up for a ride, it started raining, then when we left it stopped. This happened three or four times. Eventually we got frustrated and retreated from the Space Shot ride. Dang it, right? That's the best ride. The most thrilling one compared to the rest. It even trumps the Flying Coaster or more known as the Spiderman Coaster, which you have to pay. Speaking of which, realise how everything up there is double to triple the price? I mean, they charge RM8 for a packet of Nasi Lemak that costs about Rm2.50 down here. Bloody ridiculous right? Oh, which reminds me. We went to an indoor haunted house. It costs RM18. By the way, I'm so sorry for dragging all of you into that. I know, it sucked xD Anyway, they took a picture of us before we entered. When we came out, the pictures were developed and framed nicely. Automatically, I thought it was included in that overly charged RM18 that we paid. The foreign couple behind us thought so too. They actually took the pictures and walked off. Then, the lady at the counter shouted out to them "Eh, TEN RINGGIT FOR THAT!" You should have seen the look on their faces. They were as mortified as I was. These people in Genting charged the SHIT out of everything. I didn't get a drop of water for a couple of hours because a bottle of mineral water there costs about RM5. Bloody crazy cut throats!!! Kinda explains how Lim Guo Tung (or whatever his name is...) became a multi-millionaire. Mad prices. Mad man. Mad people. Fucking mad place!!!




The temperature up there was awesome. I didn't put my jacket on throughout the whole journey because I was thinking, "What the heck? I've come all this way to cover myself from the cold. Heck no way!" It was so nice to feel the really cool wind in my face and all. UNTIL it started raining and I had NO hood to shelter my hair! Thanks to Nicholas, he was my shelter from the rain. It was damn funny!! Jun, Zhuo Li and I didn't have our jackets with us. So we curled under Nic's jacket just to prevent ourselves from getting wet xD Darn, I don't have the picture with me.





I think I gave Nutty a hard time when we went to Snow World. We were throwing "snow" at each other. Eventually two of them succeeded to throw ice into my clothes. After that I had to spend 5 minutes outside to warm myself up because the ice was practically BURNING my skin. To think of it now, I was wailing like a mad person "COLD COLD COLD!!!" Sorry, Nutty! xD




Jun, I still think you're stingy or should I say kiamsiap xD I know we don't always look eye to eye, but I had fun. Some wacky times huh?! I still think that ya'll should not have purchased that Cyclone Ride picture. It was damn hideous LORR!!!


Well, that's all for today. We have to go back to school tomorrow ='( I still have an incomplete Add Maths homework and empty sheets of Moral Project. Do I hear a whoot whoot?! Hah, well... consequences shall prevail. I'm in deep shit!

Clouds Came Rolling In

The Fray - All At Once

Yeah, I know. I have abandoned my blog once again. Been busy catching up with some personal stuff. I haven't really dig into practising my guitar skills just yet. It's still sitting there by the corner collecting dust. And I feel so guilty for splurging on it xD Aside from all those peesh-posh, I've been catching up on all the latest movies. Well, almost all of em... Haven't been going out with meh buddies since Thursday, just several outings with my family. Was supposed to be on a holiday trip, but my dad's car was trapped and bound in the workshop. It literally feels like I've lost my legs. I've depended so much on that car, AND MY DAD, so now that it's temporarily dysfunctional, I feel stranded! But all hail, thankfully he's getting the car back today. I'm so hoping that it's all problem free now so I can go on with my shopping spree. Yeah, I know. How sinful right? But I'm in crave for some serious shopping you know. Not just some leisure outing where you go for a movie or pool session. Serious shopping! Like when you spend friggin greens till you burn a hole in your pocket xD Haven't done that in a long while. Been wasting so much money on movies and stuff. Speaking of movies.... I'm gonna write a review out of em.

First stop, the most anticipated. Correction : MY most anticipated...




I have to say, it was rather disappointing. It's like they have ran out of jokes and just threw in anything they had in mind. In my opinion, Shrek 2 was much better compared to the first movie. So, naturally I expected Shrek the Third to be "the bomb". Unfortunately, it wasn't! But, I enjoyed the enhanced graphic. Some of the new characters were rather interesting. Especially the awesomely adorable Donkey juniors. But the thought of how they were created was rather disturbing! Anyhow, it was not as enjoyable as the previous sequels. Not really suitable for kids either, it will bore them. My youngest brother stayed put only for the first 15 minutes, then he went on with his own playtime.



Next off :





The best of the Trilogies



I can't really comment much on this movie because I was rather clueless throughout the storyline. I practically forgot some incy wincy events from the previous sequels. So, while watching this movie I was like "huh? what? who?" So, now I have to dig into my archives for Pirates the first and second then watch this again. It's really interesting. One of the best adventure flick to watch. Although in this 3 long hours movie everything seemed crammed up, at least they solved a LOT of questions. I have a feeling that this will be the last, but I've heard rumours about the fourth.



A man in a black suit. Doubles up the sexy-ness!

Sam Raimi has done it again. He has succeeded once again to execute a highly anticipated movie to compete with other trilogies. But, I would have to say it could have been better. The storyline was good. There seem to be progress in Peter Parker and MJ's relationship, FINALLY. Harry Osbourne turned out to be a nice guy instead of a villian eventually, Thank Goodness. Although, I was disapointed that he died in the end. Overall, I enjoyed this movie. The two new characters : Sandman and Venom, made the movie more interesting. Oh, it's true that there will be Spiderman 4, but it's not official yet. Tobey Maguire might be replaced by Jake Gyllenhaal (co-star of the infamous Brokeback Mountain). And did I forget to mention that Topher Grace is so charming? Even though he's more known as Eric Foreman from the 70's Show, I think he's bad-boy image and advancing acting skills will pay off soon enough. In other words, we'll see more of Topher Grace. Yay xD



Introducing men in crotch-hugging suits.

If you enjoy slapstick act then this is a movie for you. I admit that the movie was humourous. I just couldn't endure Will Farrell's silly horny act. He's such a sex maniac. This movie makes figure skating look bad. Like they said, "as though figure skating isn't gay enough already..." My stomach wrench everytime I see the pair skate on ice. Especially the scene where Will had to balance Jon Heder by holding his crotch. Seriously. I shuddered throughout the movie. But I have to say that the jokes that they cracked was hilarious!! For the record, I CAN'T STAND WILL FARRELL!






Not for the weak-hearted, elderly and children


Very very very extremely wholesomely extraordinarily GORE!!! Thankfully when I watched this it was long after lunch time. Even the opening of the movie held a very very extremely gore scene. I don't know the right words to describe it. It was stomach wrenching I tell ya! Compared to first one, it was such a disappointment. This movie is not exactly a continuous of the previous one. So, you can actually watch this without refering to the first movie. This time, the victims were a group of soldiers instead of a low profiled family. The extra bloody gut-tugging scenes really adds on to it's extremely violent image! It's actually much worse compared to SAW. This movie just holds slaughters without a reason. Did I mention that it's so so so GORE??!!



This isn't exactly a latest movie. Little Miss Sunshine was released in July 2006. I don't think it was ever aired in Malaysian cinemas. So, it's rather limited. First heard of it in the Academy Awards. This film won an award of the Best Original Screenplay. So, I bought the DVD recently and watched it yesterday. It was great! I haven't laughed so much in a very long time. No, I'm not a sadist, it just proves how good it was xD The film is about a dysfunctional family. The father (Greg Kinear) is a hopeless motivational speaker who came up with a 9-step programme for success. He has this silly philosophy of Losers and Winners, which was really really annoying and all you can ever say to him was "Shut the fuck up already!". The mother (Toni Collete) is a pro-honesty person who has a suicidal Proust scholar as a brother (Steve Carrell). The grandfather (Alan Arkin) is a cocaine addict with a sexually active past. The brother (Paul Dano) took a silence vow until the day he joins the Air Force Academy. Well, he eventually found out that he was colour blind... Last but not least, the daughter (Abigail Breslin) whom is so into pre-pubescent beauty pageant BUT really really suck at it. All these ingrediants adds up to a prefect eccentric family. Great show. I recommend to all. Oh, but I have to mention that the ending was really silly so it will slightly disappoint you in the end. =D



Steve Carrell is now on my list of Favorite Comedians. He just makes me laugh till my tummy aches. His new upcoming movie Evan Almighty is a remake of year 2003 Bruce Almighty (Jim Carey). Yeap, he's that competative fellow reporter. Dang it! I should have watched The 40 Year-Old Virgin also acted by Carrell!




Evan Almighty


Better Late Than Never




These are other movies to anticipate xD
