Vision of A Dream

30 Seconds To Mars - From Yesterday

Olympics might be over...
But the amazing stories are just flooding in..

Take some time off to read this
The Somalian Inspiration - Samia Yusof Omar

In this century, sport is no longer a sport when a country offers you $1 million for a gold medal you bring home...

When one of our Malaysian athelete was asked, which was more important, the medal or the prize money?
She answered, "Medal of course!"
AND
"..... no medal, no money."

It's no longer for the glory, but for the money.
But, the story above really shows that the spirit of sportsmanship is still flowing strong in some...

16 days of Olympics is over!
Time flies...!
And I think I better lay off blogging..
FOR NOW.
Been wasting waaaay too much time :p

toodles;

Revved Up

Justin Timberlake - Take It From Here

I drove a car for the first time today!
Hah. I know, so pathetic.
"Died fire" the minute I hit the brakes...
Get it? Died fire? SEI FOH?? Heh :D
T'was so embarrassing!
Looks like everyone's gotta keep their car keys away from me
since I've picked up the guts to go for a vrooom on my own now ;)

you left me wondering
why hasn't it ring?

A Little Indulgence

Lily Allen - Littlest Things

Yet another day has gone by...
And I spent it by indulging in shopping and food :D
Oh the guilt!
I love eating at Chili's!
My new favorite place
Their fajitas and lamb are to DIE FOR!
Not to mention their yummy mash potatoes...
Ahh... My tummy's grumbling just thinking about it.
Sorry, feeling lazy to upload pictures this time.

Don't Mess With the Zohan is one of the silliest sicko movie I've ever seen.
But I laughed my ass off!!
Probably my last movie out till 4 months later...
and I spent it on watching a CROTCH emphasized movie *sigh*
nevertheless... Adam Sandler's zee BOMB!
Thanks to Mr.Peng for the ride, AGAIN.
Silly AQUA. Hmph!

Okay, this is a totally random post, bear with me, it's 12 something in the morning.
And I'm rushing to watch Atonement :D

toodles~

It's Closing In

Mat Kearney - Undeniable

Oh dear, guilt strikes...
Just came home from lunch with Jean and Julia...
Feeling so darn lazy to start studying!

I would be lying through my nose if I claimed that all I did throughout the holidays, was study.
There are so many distractions...
Like Olympics!
StarSports is totally AWESOME for all the live telecast...
How is it possible to concentrate with all those amazing events going on...

The greatest Olympian, Michael Phelps (USA)

Gold after gold after gold...
8 in total, a historic record!
I just love watching him strive to reach his dreams...

Aside from that...
There are countless movies in my hard drive chanting my name!!
I've yet to watch Johnny Depp's Sweeny Todd and the downloading is ALMOST done!!

And I have wasted two days in a row...
After all the dreading and panic attacks due to the nearing trials...
I'm still procrastinating!
Although I have already started on Add Maths and Chemistry 101 (HELL)
It's at a really sloooowww place...
So I'm praying really hard to not FAIL anything...
I'll be roast DEAD with my HEAD on the PLATTER!

Even when I'm not busy going out for eateries
or "couch potato"-ing in front of the TV
My silly mind would create some sort of distraction to keep me away from ZE BOOKS.
Yeap, to make my life easier, I'm blaming my messed up MIND.

So, my current addiction...

No kidding.
Picture dated last year. Was sitting in my room collecting layers of dust.

It was the same ordeal early last year
but the addiction stopped when I started working part time during the hols
But now it's BACK!
AND I'M GLUED...
Seriously.. It's like when I'm bored, my hands would immediately pick the guitar up
and I'll waste countless hours on it without realizing!

The worst part?!
It's giving me MAN fingers!!!
*sobs* my poor delicate fingers...
Last year I would moan and groan about the pain I was going through...
But somehow I'm so gung-ho about it now xD

Steve MacKay totally rocks...
Awesome guitarist and he's really good at teaching too.
I'm currently addicted to playing Naked by Avril Lavigne and Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley

Yes I know, it's such a BAD time to get addicted to something worthless...
I can't help it! Sue me...

So, JunHsien, now that I've picked it up again and I do not suck as BAD as before...
I MIGHT pick up the guts to play in front of you, as you asked xD

The Almost Victorious

U2 - One Step Closer

Almost every Malaysian glued their asses on the couch at exactly 9.00pm last night.
Malaysia came close to grabbing the first Olympic gold...
But yet, it was so far from grasp.

Super-egoistic Lin Dan
Wouldn't mind his victory if he wasn't so cocky...

Lin Dan from China easily trashed Lee Chong Wei 21-12, 21-8
Lee C W could have given a good fight...
He has defeated Lin Dan before and he's capable of doing it again.
But given the pressure from all the China fans chanting "Lin Dan, jia you!"
and the pressure of winning the FIRST and ONLY gold medal for homeland Malaysia...

It was clear that even as a professional player...
Lee Chong Wei failed to handle the pressure.

To top it all up, Lin Dan was in his TOP form defeating all his opponent with straight sets.

The chance of Lee C W to winning gold would have been a Merdeka Miracle.

Lee Chong Wei (M'sia), Lin Dan (China), Chen Jin (China)

Nevertheless, I think I speak for everyone, to say that we are truly proud of Lee Chong Wei for bringing Malaysia so far.
Well, it better be true. I don't think we should be disappointed that he lost.
Maybe a lil' because he could have done better.
But it was impossible for him to defeat Lin Dan at his home ground with all that pressure...

Korean Lee Hyun-il who needs a proper haircut xD

China's Chen Jin won the bronze medal after defeating one of my favorites, Lee Hyun-il :(

My other favorite, Peter Gade from Denmark, also defeated by Lin Dan.

My dad, the badminton fanatic, was obviously the most disappointed among us xD
He was rooting on Lee C W to make history.
Sigh... Oh well, "go Malaysia!"
Well, this is one of the VERY RARE occasions when I would be so proud of supporting Malaysia xD

Trick of Deceive

Damien Rice - Green Eyes

Olympics opening had fake fireworks footage for TV

Stuff.co.nz | Tuesday, 12 August 2008

Giant pyrotechnic footprints that marched across the sky in the countdown to the Bejing Olympics opening ceremony were faked for video coverage.

According to The Beijing Times what people inside the stadium and watching on television saw were computer graphics of the footprints inserted into coverage.

Gao Xiaolong, the head of the opening ceremony visual effects team, said it had taken almost a year to create the 55-second sequence.

HAH... and I was so amazed.
I have been duped!
That's not all!

The cute little girl that performed during the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics 2008
IS A FAKE!
She just stood there, looked cute and lip-synced...

Lin Miaoke (left) and Yang Peiyi (right)

The real person with that beautiful voice was the girl on the right.
Apparently she's not "cute" enough.
What a discrimination!
They have totally ripped a girl's precious dreams away just because she wasn't physically fit for it.
It's total BANANAS! She doesn't look bad at all!
Just because she ain't as picture perfect as Lin Miaoke
who shot at instant fame!
Poor girl to be turned down...
They're down right MEAN!!

I totally lost it this morning...
After being bombarded by my school's HEM for no sensible reason.
Was so enraged because I wasn't given a chance to explain myself.
Seriously, I don't remember the last time I got so PISSED...
Plus, he yelled the shit outta me.
Which was the main reason why I was so pissed off.
If he would have told me off, even in a really stern voice but NOT yell, I would have swallowed it whole.
Seriously, the basic principle of life : If you wanna be respected, respect others first.
To be respect is to be looked up to, not to be FEARED.

Okay, cut the crap.
I'm all cooled down.. for NOW...
I'm launching a day of silence tomorrow... (or at least limited speech)
as a punishment for the amount of profanities I threw out after that :D
My sincere apologies :x

Simpletons That Ticks

Evans Blue - Beg

First of all, to those who "KENA" chosen for NS...
More of a taksiah than the ridiculous bullcrap TAHNIAH they stated on the website.
Just go onlylah...
No point dwelling in it. You might actually enjoy it.
If not, go all out and differ onlylah.
Butbutbut I'm not putting any ideas in your head YEAH! xD
For the record, although my "No. KP tidak disenaraikan"
I'm NOT off the hook YET till 14th of August.
So all fingers crossed!
Hopefully won't "KENA" but sigh... if kena, kenalah.
AHH... the dreaded 3 long friggin' months!

Let's push NS aside.
I AM AN UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER OF HP!
Yeap, do not purchase anything from HP!


I ownED a 3-in-1 HP deskjet (printer/scanner/photocopier)

Deskjet F380

But just when I was about to print one of the most important part of a scholarship application
THE ESSAY
My friggin printer kaput-ed!
I just couldn't turn it on.
I bought it in July of last year.
So, instinctively I thought it was my electrical output that was the culprit.
The printer and scanner has been working perfectly fine...
Except for several cough ups choking on paper...
It did almost everything I commanded!
Okay, cut the bullcrap.
It died on me when I needed it the most.

And what's the BEST part?
Stinkin' HP's customer service.
Daddydearest who was in a whole load of "stress" due to upcoming NS list
brought the printer ALL THE WAY to Bukit Damansara
after all the troubleshoot and dissecting and dismantling
discovered the culprit : inner circuit FIRED
then they gave a billion dollar answer to solve the problem
oh sorrylah we don't fix this kinda MODEL
ONLY laserjet printers

Like WTF?!

and and...
since your warranty is over we can't do ANYTHING!

but but but...
if you purchase another printer from us, we'll be GLAD to give you a 25% rebate for a TRADE IN

We're definitely at the losing end!
First problem, our printer malfunction was NOT our fault.
It maybe their manufacturing glitch.
Secondly, we were not told of all this BULLCRAP in any form during the purchase.
Thirdly, WTF does it mean by "we do not fix this kinda problems"
Too costly apparently!
So, we were advised to purchase a NEW printer with their GENEROUS 25% rebate
Which will be double of the fixing cost.
Plus, they are taking the printer AWAY!
Oh, and they didn't fail to inform us that the model is now OBSOLETE!

AND that's not it!
the 25% rebate expires after 14 days!

PISSIFYING RIGHT?

Have yet to decide whether to buy a new printer with their rebate
or move on to another brand...

I now have to trouble some of my unlucky friends for printing.
GEEZZ...

Spectacular!

Liu Huan & Sarah Brightman - You and Me

Beijing Olympics 2008 Opening Ceremony
Last night's opening ceremony started at 8hr8min8sec
I AM AMAZED

National Stadium / Bird's Nest From www.boston.com

How on earth did they lift thousands of luminated lights
with non-visible suspension??
Go figure!

Massive scroll
The official stage

What are they wearing on their heads??

Moving boxes with lovely blossoms

Beneath the moving boxes

Men involved in that particular performance
yeap, it was not machine operated, but humans!

The much anticipated moment

Gymnastic champion from China - Li Ning

Like the ever popular "shoulin master" flying in air

Splendidly AMAZING
Estimated $40billion spent on the entire event!
Jaw dropping isn't it??
More pictures from www.xinhuanet.com and www.boston.com
Look at the amazing costumes and you can roughly guess how much they had to spend
Not to mention the massive scale of back drop
and the countless number of people involved!!
The next country would have high expectations live up to.

If you missed it, catch the repeat on Astro 816-824
It's a MUST WATCH!
I'm now scribbling CHINA onto my list of places to visit :D

AND... Must catch women's volleyball!
The Brazilians are effing brilliant tall, fast and cunning! I

It's only the first day and I'm already hooked.
I'm in deep shit :x

Why So Serious...?

Snow Patrol - Hands Open

Watching movies is now listed below Coffee :D

I KNOW I'M ONE OF THE LAST TO WATCH THIS
SHUUUSHHH!

Sneaked out to catch the movie with HanHwa
Thanks for the lift PengAqua! :D
Both of us slipped in and out of the cinema like criminals... Nyegehehehe xD

1979 - 2008
Remembering the day
You'll always be in our hearts in awe
With respect
Shall you rest in peace

I now know why Heath Ledger was tempted to commit suicide
IF the rumours were EVER true!
Effing talented lad! Such a waste...
He got so into the character...
until the movie is basically all about Joker and not Batman.
KUDOS
I smell Oscars...!

Christian Bale
Heard his on trial for abusing his mother and sister

Aaron Eckhart
Also appeared as the delusional detective in The Black Dahlia

Is it me or is the cast absolutely CHARMING??
With people like Morgan Freeman, (who's now in the hospital in a critical condition due to a car accident), Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman and the legendary Michael Caine...
How can the movie NOT be a success???
Raking in $40million so far!
Yeah yeah I know they're mostly OLD men...
But I know you can't doubt the fact that they're sooo charming...

Okaayyy... Enough about Dark Knight already...
I bet ALL of you have watched it and you're bored to death, listening to it.

WHY SO SERIOUS?? :D

Two more days to Summer Olympics Beijing 2008!

08.08.08

No offense, China.
But I find the mascots pretty fugly...
And really really creepy...
Like those kinda dolls that would creep up at you in the middle of the night...
Jeepers Creepers...!

Well, that's it.
Off to munch munch :)
Toodles!

Sappy Puddle O' Water

Joshua Radin - The One You Knew

I mean... Hellooooo?!
The movie was GREAT...
Hands down one of the best love stories I've even seen...
I havent cried so much since...

Well, since watching The Notebook!!

I teared everytime Holy (Hilary Swank) opened a letter by Gerry (Gerald Butler)

I would give the movie an A-
Because it's not as good as the book
But it's still great...
Keep praying that they'll release it in M'sia theaters soon!

Yeap I watched a movie AGAIN!

The Rush of Exhilaration

Remy Zero - Fair

Today's all about...
Chelsea's Tour to Malaysia 2008 :D

Lovely lovely gifts
I'm a lucky person :)
Thanks, Kenny & Navin!

First, I would like to apologize for the really blurrrrr pictures...
My camera is not equiped for a 100ft zoom
and those bullet movements
and well, WeiChun isn't exactly a good photographer...
I'm kidding!!!
It's my STUPID CAMERA
I need a new one!
tsk tsk xD

Day 1 (Tuesday, 28th August)
Training Session

The line of crowd in BLUE

My first reaction on the stadium... "WHOA!"
Then eventually decided that it was actually rather small

Anticipating the night after...

Went with fellow Chelsea die-hard fan, WeiChun

Malaysian team training before Chelsea came...

Everyone cheered for them when they jogged pass!
Malaysia boleh-eh?!

This MAD girl came to watch football in a DRESS!
Like HELLOOOO....???

Then we figured the players were gonna make a dramatic entrance

Fans pushing through to get a better view
We had to climb over railings to see them in the flesh!

POOR ME!
I had to squeeze through these hairy legs so I could look through the gap.
FYI, the guy was standing on one of the railings.
No, I did not kneel all the way down "there"!

Ryan Giggs lookalike! I wondered why was that veteran in blue xD
Everytime a white guy came out, the crowd cheered like crazy...


Petr Cech - Keeper
Wei Chun's idol
He's friggin tall!


Carlo Cudicini - 2nd Keeper

From left clockwise - Mikel John Obi (midfielder), John Terry (centreback & captain), Michael Essien (midfielder) blocked by Juliano Belletti (rightback) if I'm not mistaken

Hottie Joe Cole (winger)

The clearest picture I got was of this man with the anonymous superawesomehumongous pot belly

Shaun Wright-Phillips (right-winger)

Very bluurrrr picture of
Ricardo Carvalho (centreback) and Andriy Shevchenko (striker)

Far right, sexy back of Nicolas Anelka (striker)

The juicy Micheal Ballack (midfielder)

Peter Kenyon
I wanted to scream out...
PLEASE KEEP FRANK LAMPARD!!!

Oh so charming Ashley Cole (leftback)

Newly-signed Deco (midfielder), if I'm not mistaken.
Can't recognize him that easily yet...

Speeding bullet, Florent Malouda (left winger)

Look... it's Cech with his signature head gear...
Cudicini standing by the goal

And the training begins...

FAST FORWARD...
After training everyone gathered to swarm the players with jerseys and papers to sign...

That's the BIG MAN
He's Nigerian. Friendly & funny fellow..
He calls Mikel and Essien his "brothurrs"
Guy on the left is a lucky fella who managed to get Essien to sign his jersey

I ENVY!!! :(

Deco

Shevchenko

Cech towering over EVERYONE!!

Joe Cole being surrounded by fans and the press

John Terry giving his priceless autograph *screams*

Carvalho leaving with a thumbs up

My hottie idol Frank Lampard
The only clear picture I got of him :(
I WANT HIS NO.8 JERSEY!!!

Ballack and Essien signing for lucky bastards....
YES I ENVY

Far left - Lonely looking Anelka... I would have ran all the way to him for an autograph!
Then there's Wayne Brige (leftback) being ascorted away with I-dunno-who :D

Hottie camera-man whom I checked out when all the players left :D


SCOTT! SCOTT!
That's what a bunch of desperate idiots called him and BEGGED for his shirt...
Just because it had Chelsea's logo on it...
So embarrassing!!!

They even called this guy SCOTT and begged for the free caps that he threw...
We gapped when he yelled back... "DAH HABIS!!!" O.O
Not bad, he did his homework before visiting Malaysia...

WeiChun trying to STEAL the poster off a tree
We succeeded in the end!!!
But only managed to get one cause some organizers tailed us when we aimed for another :(

Day 2 (29th August)
MATCH DAY!!!
Chelsea Vs. Malaysia

The atmosphere was THE BOMB

Thierry Henry lookalike!!!

Red Carpet spread for their entrance...
SHWEEETTT

Cech and Cudicini came out first like the previous day
Look at him in action...!

Malaysian team came out after

CHELSEA WARMS UP



I just love watching them... xD

Warm ups

Finally the official line ups
Chelsea with those lucky little boys...!!!

Malaysian team

And let the game begin....!

I didn't take anymore pictures cause I was totally focusing on the match.
The match was AWESOME!
It was surreal to watch Chelsea on the field.
They were kinda LAZY though...
Like it was pointless to strive hard to score...
That's why it ended in

Chelsea 2 - 0 Malaysia

Thumbs up to Malaysian team for trying so hard
They were pretty good!
I was damn surprised and ashamed for looking down on them.

:( Lampard didn't score...
He was lazing throughout the game...
Actually most of the old time players were.
The only ones who really played were Deco, Anelka and the second team that was later substituted in.

Was really disappointed that I failed to get any autograph
and Jersey
and DNAs...
and CLEAR PICTURES...
BUT, this is definitely something I would never forget.
So, screw the pictures... I have mental images to last for a lifetime xD

AND....

I have a souvenir to stare at for many days & nights to come :D
GO BLUES!!!
