music Damien Rice - Volcano

Ok. After that um embarrassing entry, let's make a new one! Ok. I seem to write long entries that has no absolute point whatsoever, and it doesn't really matter anyways to people. Haha. XD Oh man. I just wrote an entry about Good Charlotte. Hmmm. I am writing more in my blog than my lj. I don't know, maybe it's that long hiatus that seems to be working on me. You know, that 30 days rule of doing something different and later on it'll be a habit. Yeah, it's working alright. Sigh.

So thanks to Lina for sending me Beck's (an anime/manga) opening theme! It's in my head like how Q And Not U's Wonderful People had been in the past three days. But seriously, that Q And Not U song has got to be one of the catchiest songs I have heard the whole year. Thanks to Pitu for keep bugging me, asking me to download it. Well props to you, Pitu, eventhough now I am trying my best to merajuk. Have I told you about how I don't know how to act like that? It runs in the family since Azim herself doesn't know how to. Haha. And yes I forgot the english translation of Merajuk, but you get the idea. I stopped going to school when the official holidays haven't started yet. There's nothing interesting to do over there anymore!! And the fact that only a few people, those who I have no relationships with whatsoever, come to school makes it lesser fun. ]: From what I have heard, all you get to do there is play board games, not just any board games, it's Maths Magic! Yay fun!

I just wrote a long paragraph on how I have zero social skills but I decided to erase it because I'm stupid and it's nicer to write it down somewhere else. :) So I shall write this instead: Why in the world Q And Not U are so good? Best post-punk band this time around, really. When is MTV going to show Franz Ferdinand's This Fire video? Because the video that I got off the net are really sucky and that video is so cool. I think it's the best video by them seriously. So Russian comic.

I watched Carnivale again. I do not want to miss one single episode, because I knew that I would get lost if I did =_= Anyways, I think that this story actually have the potential to a great series, if only it's not so slow and it will show more about the 'freaks' among the Carnies. I know how the story actually goes (oh the goodness of the internet!), and it is already good enough. But then somehow it made me feel unsatisfied at some point, which is pointless. Sigh. Maybe later on I'll be like how Shamine is, watching it just for the sake of Nick Stahl. But I'll try my best not to watch a series just for the sake of a fandom (uhh ok well that was different for Moonlight Mile because there's Jake Gyllenhaal, but that movie was good, though!) Sigh. Azim & I planned to watch The Grudge, but I doubt it could be as good as the original though. But I guess I'll have to see it for myself, despite Sarah Michelle Gellar is the lead role in there and somehow every movie that she's in is a bit slacking. Ok yes I'm being very, very, biased here!
Another movie that I want to watch: Wimbledon! Because Paul Bettany is in it! Uhm, ok so that was the opposite of what I said just now. Hehe. Don't blame me, Paul Bettany is one good actor, and that's the reason why he is attractive! Really. I think he's the only actor that I go for because all the characters that he starred as are the most interesting ones. Like in A Knight's Tale, he was a naked drunken poet while in A Beautiful Mind he was the imaginary companion of John Nash! Yes. And now he's a tennis player. Ahihih. But I want to watch Gangster No.1 though. They said he was really good in that movie (psychotic power-obsessed working under a gang and goes around killing people? Hell yeah) and there was one really disturbing scene, in which he murdered his boss in the most gruesome way. And hey, Paul Bettany in a suit? Mmmhmm.

This chair is killing my butt and Muse is ace and I should stop using the word ace. See, now this is officially my rambling ground. Lalala. I'm downloading Sondre Lerche because I couldn't help noticing the similarity of his face with Paul Bank's, if only PB is skinnier. Haha. Hmm sigh.

Monday, October 25, 2004 GC, aka Guilty Pleasure.

music Q And Not U - The More I Get The More I Want

OK, to tell you the truth, I am very tempted on buying Good Charlotte's The Chronicles Of Life & Death. I know, I know. Shitty pop-punk material that should have been ignored since the emergence of the infamous song, Lifestyles Of The Rich & The Famous. But here's a confession: I do like Good Charlotte. In fact, they are the first band that led me to the music that I'm listening to right now. Hoh, shocking. They're the first band that I downloaded (this is before Lifestyles were on MTV, mind you. Well, two weeks before. Hah) and before that I was still naive about music, but I was wanting to escape from the heavy rotations of Hitz.fm. And I was obsessed with GC, especially with Billy Martin, the tall (and scrawny and paley and anorexicy and gothic-wannabe-yey) guitarist of the band. I was really obsessed. Haha. Oh man. I couldn't shut my mouth for the whole year and basically I've been talking and talking about them (and hey, at the moment I have tons of Thursday and Interpol and Bright Eyes mp3s already!) and I would daydream and I did a small comic about them being transported to my school and being SMKDU kids or them being our music teachers... Haha. That was fun. Dammit. Benji teaching maths, "Now kids, FU x CK, you *points to a student*, what will it be?" XDXDXD Or suddenly there's a student exchange programme and we get to live next to GC's house (well as if they're going to stay in the house for a long time). HO MAN. AHIHIHI XD FUN TIMES.
And there's the time where I drew them and Najat would write out a story on how they would destroy their fans (Benji jumping off and land on a fan, leaving the fan flat and with holes, so in the end Benji had to go to JLo's Slimmin Centre! and he became the next U2 model. Ahaha. Billy plays the guitar way too loud and threw the guitar and hit a fan, Joel sings badly until all the fans' ears bleed, and uhhh I forgot what was Paul's XD). AND THERE WAS THE BARNEY RHYMING: SADISTIC GC!!! Oh man Aida, Nana & I are trying to remember it. It was funny. It has got to do with Billy killing Benji with a guitar or something. Oh maaaan, that was the anthem among us last year. And how I used to save all pictures of Billy into a folder. I even begged Roxanne to give me her GC poster and article (now where did that go? Hmmm)!!!

Sigh. So yes. I'm tempted on buying it. I actually have the first album (the very first album when Benji doesnt look disgusting and fat like now) and probably I might go and listen to it after this. Hahahaha. On this album they've taken a more serious approach (well, yeah. Kinda. For them. Ignore the bad lyrics haha), so... Or maybe I should go & download it first. And maybe buy the CD NOT in Rock Corner. Ahaha. Cover beb, cover. But the cover is nice. I mean, Billy did it so yeah. Billy still looks hot.

Uh. Ok. I shall shut up about this. And yeah I might go & buy it. Yeah. PS: the first album is better than The Young & The Hopeless. Huuu. & GC >>>>>>> Simple Plan. No, really. Fo realz. Fo shizzle dizzle gahizzle. Eventhough the twins of GC tends to be ghetto. No wait that's only Joel. Ahihih.

So my mum is off to Mecca this Wednesday and she will be back on the first day of Hari Raya. Sigh. Maybe I could have time to go out during that time hehe but then No Money. ]: No wait, there's my bro. He always gives me money freely, cos he's just that nice. He always free the cats even after they were being caught a few minutes ago. Haha. He's just that nice. And at least he wanted and tried listening to a few of my mp3s, unlike Azim... she dissed Sigur Ros and here she is saying about a few songs that makes her feel like soaring high into the sky??? Yeesh. Oh well. Sigh. Oh finally she brought back the old radio and I can play CDs now yay! Cos the old one was spoiled and couldn't play any CDs ]: but oh well the old one couldn't play CD-R/RW as well. Eventhough it was cute. It looks like a rice cooker. Heck, even the name was Rice Cooker. I remembered during the dance for Justin Timberlake's Like I Love You, everybody loves that radio and always call it the Rice Cooker until it broke a day before. ]: Sigh.

I need to buy more clothes! I seriously do. I realised how most of my tee is well the holiday type of thing (Welcome To Langkawi! I Love Sydney!) Sigh. Mum found an old picture of me, when I was a little baby and I look like a maggot. Hahhaha. I'm so happy nowadays. Azim & I planned to go and watch The Grudge and to see whether it will be bad or not. Since, you know, Sarah Michelle Gellar. She might be alive in the end. And it'll be all sucky. Sigh. I sigh alot, I hope I'm not becoming like Adrian. He sighs a lot in Malaise forum. Haha. Oh man. I'm tired. This chair is killing my butt cheeks.

I miss Troy.

Uh. What. What. I mean, hey, it's been a long time since I go to Rock Corner, I hope The Killers & Wilco is not out of stock. & I want them to bring in Head Automatica 's Decadence because it's ACE. Daryl Palumbo at his best. And, hey, him wearing buttoned up shirt + tie. Mmmmhm.

Friday, October 22, 2004 new layout !

music These Arms Are Snakes - Gadget Arms

Yes I have a new layout, finally! I was sick of the old one, and it didn't really capture the eye, and since I found this snazzy picture of Interpol, so I decided to make one. Teehee. My site has a new layout as well. I hope now it's accessable to almost everyone because I received complaints about the old layout.Sigh. I think so far all of my layouts revolves around: The Stills, Interpol, The Stills, colourful boxes and boxes and stupid musings, and The Stills again. Sigh. Oh wait I used to make Thursday layouts during my freeweb days. Huuu. At first I wanted to make a Franz Ferdinand layout, since they make me happy and they're my current obsession, but for some reason I couldn't live up to it. Sorry Franz, will do you later. Hah. That sounds dirty. But I need some psp help, of course. Han Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeei...

Ok now for all the updates. Lately my days are so boring I could stick my eyes out and juggle them to entertain me. But of course, I wouldn't do that. Why should I harm my own eyes, because if I do I could not feast my eyes upon lovely pictures of Mr Evil But Wonderful Alex Kapra-- ok let's not get to there. Basically, If I do I could not READ. Especially people's blog. I love Patricia's blog. Sigh. Our own little (well not so, since she's taller than me) psychadelic 1/4 of the Crazy Madmens (sorry Yun, I forgot the original name! Le gasps :[) and she's just so psychadelically psychadelic. I'm liking that word. Psychadelic. PSYCHE! Anyways, I left out the comment code again. :[ Oh dear. As if people do comment. Maybe I should use haloscan's, that'll be nifty-er. Well no not exactly. I dont know. Do people actually read this? Hmmmm I think I need to use that number tracker thingamajig! Aight.

So the fasting month has started. Aight. I simply don't know what to do during this month, since my mother doesn't really let me go out (probably the only time is when I get me period, which is NOW!) and I might not have the energy to. Iffa asked me out to buka puasa with Aida & Aqilah tomorrow at One Utama. First, I am not sure whether I could go out till that late. Secondly, I am not sure I will get a good time since nowadays I tend to daydream A LOT. Ok well maybe that doesn't really do anything, but it does! I think. Anyways, I do really want to go though, since it's been a long time since I went there and I do really want to go out with friends. But I need extra money from usual (meaning: RM50++) since I might drop by Rock Corner to get my copy of The Killers - Hot Fuss. I'm not a big fan of The Killers, but their songs are danceable enough. Maybe it's because Brandon Flowers kept dissing The Stills for no absolute reason. ]: Sigh. But anyways, I do want Wilco's A Ghost Is Born as well! Aefbifdfdnf. Well basically I want a crapload of CDs, meaning a crapload of money, meaning a crapload of... well something.
Another reason why I want to go to Rock Corner: to see Troy. No not in the "I MISSSS UUUUU" kind of way, but Pitu asked me to ask him something. There might be a huge possibility of Pitu knowing Troy. : Nooooo. That'll be so scary. In some way. One year ago Pitu kept bugging Mogwai's old manager, asking for them to come and drop by here in Malaysia, and in some way or another the Mogwai dude gave Pitu Troy's email and from there on starts the eternal email swapping. Wait what, no they're not in love. So if that is Pitu's Troy, then I have to ask for Pitu's The Strokes poster. '__' Sigh. *P/S: Pitu's real name is Piut. I just love calling him Pitu. Peeeetooo. Ok.

I downloaded a lot of new albums. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Heart Of Oak. This is ace. Q And Not U - Power. THIS IS ACE. Especially the song Wonderful People. Been listening to it the whole time. Huu. These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home. This is ace as well. Don Caballero - American Don. Eeeeew why am I listening to this? Pitu forced me to. Ok well that was sarcasm (bad one, i suck at sarcasmistic language. Woooh I made a new word), Don Cab is nice. I've been listening to Pitu's orgasm (Don Caballero, mind you). That doesn't sound nice. Next I'm going to buy and listen to Pitu's sex, Wilco. Wait, that doesn't sound nice either. Sigh. Oh well. I need new muuuusic (no, this is not enough. Wahaha) hmm maybe I should try The Used - In Love & Death next. Hah. k.

I love the MSN conversations I'm having that mainly consists of sex. Well. No. I mean, it reminds me Afnan's weird ways of touching people's hands!

music Denali - Run Through

Yesterday I watched Bowling For Columbine and it's still disturbing me until now, but it was good. Despite the fact that I missed a live show of Franz Ferdinand.
Today I watched Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow and seriously, next to Paul Bettany, Jude Law is my fave actor.
The Rock Corner dude's name is Troy, and Meme kept saying Teloi Teloi Teloi after that.
So Rock Corner have a lot of good CDs. I hate you.
I had a weird dream, consisting of Franz Ferdinand. Kissing hands what.
This show called Rouge is the crappiest thing I have ever seen.
That MRSM test was so stupid. Basically you have to be one bossy person.
Oh dear the girl who stole my glasses was sick and couldn't come today. Pity.

music Envy - A Cradle of Arguments and Anxiousness

I shall not say bad things about anyone, eventhough they seem to make me upset, but usually 40% of my time with them, while the other 60% would be them making me feel entertained.

PMR was not as hard as I had expected. I was not in the total fear like what I had imagined myself would be in. Sitting in the normal classroom would be a factor (I could see Yun's head from my seat!). OK now time for the paper analysis! Eventhough we haven't do KH yet, which is tomorrow, but KH will be a-ok.
BM: paper 1 was hard, paper 2 was a saviour. Oh yes it is.
English: paper 1 was easy, paper 2 was easy if only I have skills on writing a speech. T_T
Maths: I LOVE MATHS.
Science: It was a-ok, eventhough paper 2 was a killer. Especially the drawing part. But it wasn't that hard... Eventhough I made two stupid careless mistakes in paper 1.
History: amazingly it wasn't that hard! Or maybe it's because I woke up at 2am to read. But so far I got around 8 or 10 wrongs. Uwee.
Geography: I did a lot of careless mistakes that makes me feel like crying. But it's good enough for an A!
Religion: Uh. Um. Uh. Don't know about this. But 10 marks for certain is gone. Sigh die.

I actually had a lot of fun during the whole week. It's when Ariana holds on to the statement, "laughter is the best medicine" way too much until she's overdose.

Today Meme, Ariana and I sat in the middle of the two blocks, and we made funny bird noises, which people mistook for monkey noises. It could be heard from the cafeteria. BAD ASSS.

New layout with a raidoblog soon.
