Postcard Frenzy

It's been some time since I last posted THE namecards... but really, I haven't been collecting any nice cards these days...

I love postcards though! Here are some cute white postcards I have in my collection. I guess it's the contrast between the white space and the subject that makes the postcard stand out more than the usual full-colour ones.

Neway, cut the yapping, on to the looking!!







Sorry for the bad photography!!!

Bad Romance vs Poker Face

Maybe not everyone would agree with me, but I have an opinion.

Bad Romance sounds abit like Poker Face.

Okay, not exactly a ground-breaking or Nobel prize-winning revelation, but just thought I would like to share. I'll back up my statement with a juxtaposition of the lyrics.

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-roma-mamaa!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it's free
I want your love
(Love-love-love I want your love)

I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it)
Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad, your bad romance

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh--oh-oooh! )
I want your love and
All your lovers' revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Try sing it and hear it for yourself :D

Chemi Chem Chem

Chemistry Paper 3 experiment was a bit tricky. Too easy that it felt tricky. Is it thaaaaat easy? Is it a trick question?

Oh, I messed up the colour for the universal indicator. As it gets more acidic, the colour becomes redder.

Mine was the other way round. Whoops.

4 marks gone gua...


I'm gonna go to college! Whooopee!! I'm a freshman on 6th Jan!!!

Aaadum.

I'm addicted to Adam Lambert's If I Had You.


Yeah babe! You know that it's time for miracles!

OMG!!!

My Kunci Kira-Kira not balanced!!!

I can still remember saying to Wye Hong, "Hwaa...shit man, this paper damn hard. Thank God I'm not from Taman Sea."

(The paper mentioned was Taman Sea's accounts trial papers)

CRAP!!! SPM was as hard as that paper!!!

Some more I left out my Pemiutang... of all things to leave out! They're one the most friggin important people in the world of Form 5 Accounts and I left them out in the cold!!!

Fafafafafafafa....ck.

Oreo guilt

Oreo count since last post: 5
Twiggies count: 2


My mum bought 2 more packets of Oreo today, as a present for getting over Biology. She was from Arts stream back in the 1970s, so perhaps she didn't learn that:

When blood glucose level is high, insulin secreted by islet cells in the pancreas stimulates liver cells and muscle cells to break down glucose during respiration and convert glucose to glycogen to be stored in the liver, and ADIPOSE TISSUE TO CONVERT EXCESS GLUCOSE TO FAT!!!!

So now I know where the Oreos went.

Bio was okay. Didn't do my best, some crap flew out of my brain last minute, but overall okay. Hope the experiment hits the spot!!!!


Hah tembak, tembak!!!

Adam and Kris

I'm proud to announce that I haven't had an Oreo since the last post!

By the way, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have released their albums one week from each other, so there's bound to be loads of comparison, right?


I've given each album a first listen, and shit, I really can't decide which stands out better. If it's edgy that you want, go for Glambert, who no offense, looks really blerrhh on the cover. Dude, are you a long-lost relative of Cher here?

Edgy yes, with thumping dance beats and electro synths zipping zapping about and his trademark guttural squeal-yell-shout-scream-bellow-WAAAAA.... , it's really hard to NOT tell that it's Adam Lambert turning it up for our ears. But I can't stop myself from having images of La Roux popping up in my head with every song? There's a notable similarity, because their stuff generally comprises dance pop numbers with retro influences.

Then there's the Ryan Tedder-penned song, which had me going "HAH!!" at the first listen without even referring to writing credits on Wikipedia.

Tedder has REALLY got to diversify his writing chops. I've been keeping a log of sound-alike Ryan tunes in my head since Halo... and it's relentlessly growing, I tell you.

Back to Lamby...

What we have here is a very sexed-up, pulsing, dance record. Sort of like a male Lady Gaga playing along to Maroon 5 lyrics. It's undeniably catchy, light-hearted at some point, sexually-charged ALL THE WAY but after song 6, I found it a tad too overbearing. One thing for sure, Adam doesn't hold back. Good or not, I'll tell you after Listen #7 (average number of spins for me to get acclimated to a whole album).

Kris, on the other hand, had chosen an overenthusiastically optimistic Live Like You're Dying as his first single (oh wait, second...No Boundaries, remember?). It is the first single anyway, since he unceremoniously dumped No Boundaries from the tracklist (No Hardfeelings DioGuardi!).

The first time I heard Live Like You're Dying, I swore I thought it was The Script. Like, crap The Script is tryna be Ryan Tedder, recycling the same songs again and again. Kris' delivery was so spot-on The Script. The voice, the intonation, the rambling, the soulful squeal-ish style of reaching the high notes. It was not until I Googled 'Kris Allen' to find out that oh, it was The Script who wrote the song.

So, if you're looking to start your music career on a solid ground, pick songwriters who don't sing, or don't write the same tune over and over again.


Kris Allen's album is easier to digest, thankfully. Very boppy, earthy, laidback - that's the first impression. I'll tell you more about it when I've reached Listen #5, cuz this one's baby food, easy to swallow (easy to puke? Hopefully not). It's more relatable to me, since I'm into singer-songwriter type of music (yeahhh boriiiiiing) and I know that I'll be recommending some of the songs to my sister. In terms of first impression, Kris' definitely bags it. For Your Entertainment sends a tiny jolt to your system, which is good for being memorable, but Kris' Kris Allen scores for likability.

This is written based on my FIRST spin of the albums. So basically I'm writing based on the very sparse snippets of melodies and lyrics I can recollect. Unfair, but in a world of MP3 gadgets and MTV, songs are devoured separately, singled out if catchy, trashed if otherwise.

So really, it's not that unfair. Back to Bio reference book now!

Ermm

I uhh... think SPM is making me fat?

I mean, all those hours studying and dreaming... boring kan? So I'd be popping in an Oreo or two, or three... and downing Nescafe or Milo...

Oh gosh...I refuse to get fat over SPM!!!

I know I'm already on the heavy side. So no more Oreos for me. Sobs...

Yay!! BM Over!!

Trivia:
1. 5 out of 6 people I asked woke up waaaaay before they were supposed to.
2. Having only 20 people sitting evenly apart in a classroom feels odd.
3. SPM question paper is really nice and smooth. The paper. Not the questions.
4. Everything is printed so very nicely, unlike the trials where I had to squint my eyes off.

Okay I know, brainless trivia.

BM BM... bee amm... bahasa melayu... bahasa malaysia...

It was really fun. Karangan was fun. KOMSAS was fun. Rumusan was fun. Novel was fun.

Tatabahasa no fun. I think I'm gonna do badly in this whole section. Great. There goes A+. Get A also damn happy di.

Sob sob sob...so hard!!!

Sejarah was okay. Could have done better, but kalau sudah ditakdirkan, biarlah...
Very important nugget to anyone reading (if...there's anyone)

DON'T FECKING CHANGE THE ANSWER YOU TEMBAK!!!

98% the first answer you tembak is correct. Seriously. After 5 years of tembaking correctly but itchy fingers go change to wrong answer, you guess I should have learnt from my mistakes and DON'T TOUCH THE TEMBAKED QUESTION but hey... it happened again.

3 FECKING TIMES. Very painful, very painful indeed.

Takpelah. My mom asks me to stop thinking about it. What to do, I kiasu... now I'm blogging about it some more.

Waiting...

I'll be really frank.

I can't wait to get out of school and go to college.

I can't frickin wait to get a car, even if it's an old Wira with a cranky clutch.

I can't wait to get P1 wimax and download all the shows I'm dying to watch.

I can't wait for SPM to be over.

I can't wait to be EIGHTEEN.

I can't wait to see how the SCOUT PAGE will turn out in this year's school mag.

I can't wait for sooooooo many things.

Gee..but really, WHY am I WAITING? Why am I NOT DOING?

Gotta trust my absorbent brain not to leak out any facts that I've so painfully stored. 2 years worth of shit, 2 weeks worth of hand ache and butt pain, then 1 whole month of FREEDOM then it's BACK TO THE SADDLE AGAIN!!! Get your sweet ass to college, Yen Peng. Intake's 4th January (FUCK!!!).

Randomness

Did you know?

There are a number of Macs in our Sejarah syllabus, namely Sir Harold MacMichael, Gerald MacBryan, Sir Malcolm MacDonald.

Malcolm MacDonald is also the name of a famous English footballer. (Yes, I googled it to check the spelling and whoa...footballer?)

Malcolm MacDonald was the son of British Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald.

Malcolm MacDonald is also a music critic, writing books about music.

Cool huh?

And don't you find it odd that tragic deaths of 12-year olds have been dominating the Star headlines for a few days now?

And why does Beyonce prefer going to Abu Dhabi than to come to Malaysia? What does this imply on Malaysia's policy towards foreign artists?

Is it possible that we all might have to go to Singapore just to watch foreign acts perform in the future?

Coming nearer and nearer...

Eeks long time no online...shall not remind myself how soon SPM is.

I'm having a lot of fun with Sejarah.

Eargh. 9 December.... 9 December... 9 December...Someone should invent a time machine that allows us to "skip" time. Just zoom through SPM and yeah, it's the 9th of December now. Fuss-free, no drama, just the perfect way to get away.

Too bad that's not the way things should go.

Reminiscing

Doesn't it feel so good to come to school just to laugh your ass off? Even in the thick of exams?

Thanks guys, for making me laugh everyday. And I hope I make you laugh too. Though for the wrong reasons.


Will miss those raucous guffaws when I leave school.

Oh gosh, all throughout my secondary school years I have been waiting to leave school and go to college, and now that I'm almost out of the school's gates, I don't want to leave.

And as much as I dreaded coming to Samad five years ago, I actually grew to love the school. Though it meant giving up certain opportunities (eg public speaking/debate clubs, the wah-you-from-Assunta respect, continuing the rich Assuntarian legacy of my family's female members, GOOD canteen FOOD, etc), I really love the chillax atmosphere of Samad, the tidak-apa attitude, the lax discipline, the very little homework, the spoon-feeding, the fact that Samadians are more serious with their koko instead of academics.

It's a lovely Samadian world of our own, protected by the ugliness of the real world.

Trials are over, means there's only one more boundary to cross before crossing the gates to pre-U. And damn, don't it look scary.

SPM - spam, SPERM?!

I Killed Twin Chickens

Siamese twins.

I bet you think that it's generally for humans, eh? Well, I do (cuz I'm so ignorant most of the time)

Till I came home and saw what my mum had to show me.


Aah!!! Twin chicks!! So cute!!!!!


It was my first time seeing twin yolks in a single egg. And they were unseparated!!

Btw *ahem* I keep using "was" and "were" cuz you know, the dearies are either in my stomach or my mum's now.

Hey, I was hungry, okay!

Trying Times, Trying Trials

Life can be funny at times.

Mod Maths turned out to be one of the hardest Maths paper I've sat for.

Pn Tai always says, "Mod Math is for DUMMIES!!!" Kononlah.

Lord knows how I'll be slaughtered during Add Maths.

Biology, one of my most loved-hated subjects, out of the 15 chapters altogether, 8 I already studied, they have to ask the other 7.

Chemistry. I hope it saves me. It was not as nasty as the others.

Sejarah. Bani... Bani... Bani... Bunny?

Maaa.... I'm not enjoying my trials.

Esok physics. Be prepared to die.


Yeah, that's what I've been doing on my table quite often nowadays. It's... luxurious.

Byebye

Okay sekarang trials kan?

So I pun akan busy sikit lah. In between studying (very little) and trying desperately to hack my stupid PSP (which crashes every week, stupid dipshit making me go through the whole rigmarole of hacking) and watching stuff on iPod, I hereby announce that I'm taking a break from the blogosphere for awhile.

I wish you luck. You wish me luck. Thank you and welcome!!!

Happy Belated Mooncake Festival!! Happy Be-earlied Deepavali!! Happy Trials!!!

MISSING

National Level Chemistry Quiz 2009 certificate

Blue, crappy-looking but nonetheless valuable.

Anyone who has seen it or stolen it,

GIVE IT BACK!!!!!

PS: I hereby announce that I am no longer playing God of War. God Mode is over. I have unlocked every single shit there is to unlock.

Disappointing costume. Slogged through the whole game in God mode where FOUR hits are all it takes to get you killed and I get this LAME costume?!!!! I've been let down....

So I was burning up precious study hours playing the darn PSP again. Tip-pi-ty-tapping the buttons like nobody's business while my parents were sitting in the hall watching TV thinking their good daughter is hammering facts into her head.


And now I'm onlining.

TAKLEH!! TAKLEH!! I HAVE TO STUDY!!!!!!!

But I so malas. Kratos waits for me in my PSP, but my books are shouting out for me to caress their untouched crispy sheets.

Mark my words.

CHAIRLIFT will be BIG.

Big, I tell you. BIIIIIIGG....

The awesome Chairlift

The man with the looooooow voice

The versatile lead singer

Weehahaha....

Today's add math paper almost killed me. It was harder than using chopsticks with my left hand!!! Harder than trying to kiss a frog. Harder than waking up at 6 AM!!! Very hard!!!!!

My brain froze in the middle of the paper. After all the dy/dx, integration, function, progression.... i just stopped thinking on a circular measure question. S = rΘ, half r sq Θ, half r sq sin Θ.... that's all I could think. My brain just napped for like, 2 minutes.

Blrrr....

On a lighter note... I've died like 20-something times trying to kill a bunch of fire satyrs and sword satyrs. I have to say God mode is as hard as today's add math paper. That means both are VERY HARD!!!

And as much as I find Taylor Swift annoying, my heart goes out to her after Kanye West had to steal her thunder by grabbing the mic off her while she was receiving her award at the MTV VMAs. He had to insult her by voicing his love for Beyonce's video. WTF?!!! Get off the stage golliwog!!!! Taylor deserves the award. 'You Belong with Me' is such a sweet video. Kanye on the other hand, should get lost and check into etiquette classes. Or bring him to my mom.

Just ranting...

The AH1N1 scare has begun.

A friend is down with it. My dad was suspected having it. My whole class is quarantined.

The school gave all of us a free mask each. And we were told to stay in the Physics lab. With poor Pn Rema.

I wore a mask to tuition. I could smell my breath when I exhaled forcefully. It strangely smelled like Double Decker's prawn chips, even though what I had was KFC three hours before that.

Can't drink water with the mask on. Can't whistle. Can't bite my nails. Can't smile at anyone. Or kiss anyone. Not that I want to.

Hot stale air. Prawn breath. Thirst. Annoying lenses.

How come it's taking me forever to get used to them?

Of apples and songs

I'm amazed at how certain ads can catapult an artiste to fame. You don't need to slog it out in the music scene, counting pennies and the days to your next bar gig. You just need to get your music picked for an advert.

And then you're more famous than the bar you last gigged at, the one where the waitress was hitting on your drummer.

I'll focus on Apple ads, given the company's knack for effective advertising and their ads' widespread reach.


Caesar was a Swedish band that was relatively unknown outside their homeland. When their song, Jerk It Out was chosen to go with Apple Shuffle's ad in 2005, the band finally got the worldwide exposure they were looking for. Until now, the band's most famous track is still the song made famous by Apple's iconic dancing silhouette ad.



Australian band, Jet was introduced to the US through an Apple iPod ad which featured their hit single, Are You Gonna be My Girl (Vodafone also used the same song in their ad). Thanks to Apple, Are You Gonna Be My Girl was nominated for Best Rock Video, Best New Artist and Best Editing in a Video for 2004 MTV Video Music Awards.



Even when the company changed the concept for their iPod ads, the powerful influence of the ads never stopped.


Canadian singer-songwriter Feist was just another obscure name in the industry, playing from band to band, and then releasing LPs that only received attention from the genre's audience. When her 1234 (not to be confused with Plain White T's 1234) got selected for Apple's 3rd generation iPod Nano ad, 1234 instantly became a surprise hit, reaching No. 8 in the US on download sales alone - a remarkable but rare achievement for an indie musician.



Then last year, Apple's 4th gen iPod Nano advert did the same thing for a Brooklyn band, Chairlift. The band was initially a project between two of its original members to create background music for haunted houses (?!!!). Now, on their Myspace page, Bruises, the song used in the Apple advert, has logged 7.7 million plays. What's more, they are also nominated for MTV VMA 2009 Breakthrough Video Award.




So go get your song on an ad!!!

Steve Jobs!!! Here's my demo!!!!

Ops Tersalah Dengar

I'm bad at picking out lyrics. Either I swallow the words or replace them with stupider ones. And sometimes the lyrics come across as outrageous or outright confusing, cuz I get it all wrong.

Why you so obsessed with me
Boy, I wanna know
Lying havin' sex with me
-Mariah Carey, Obsessed-

Why you so obsessed with me
Boy I wanna know
Lyin' that you're sexin me

Okaylah...quite close jugak.

I sold 3008, you sold 2000 and late
-Black Eyed Peas, Boom Boom Pow-

Poor Yen Peng was really really confused about all that selling going on.

I'm so 3008, you so 2008

They paid paradise,
Put up a f**king lot
-Counting Crows, Big Yellow Taxi-

Why didn't they censor that?!!

They paved paradise,
And put up a parking lot

Young girls, who ain't got no panties
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
-Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road-

I was like, dude I thought Elton John was gay?

Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you

Ohh...

It's like I checked into rehab,
Cuz baby you're magazine
-Rihanna, Rehab-

I'm a blank page whenever it comes to deciphering that line.

It's like I checked into rehab,
Cuz baby you're my disease

Wait, there's some more in the song.

I don't want else to walk on cigarettes no more

I don't wanna smoke all these cigarettes no more

Our legs are seal

There's a happen, that we misuse
In multiplex, sire knit
-The Gogos, Our Lips are Sealed-

Aku tak paham langsung.

Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon, that we must use
In our defense, silence

Since you've been gone, I can breathe for the first time
I'm so damn alone...yeah yeah
-Kelly Clarkson, Since You've Been Gone-

What contradiction.

Since you've been gone, I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on... yeah yeah

Hey how long till the music drowns you out
Don't put words up in my mouth
And dance to your boyfriend
-Ashlee Simpson, Boyfriend-

Hey how long till the music drowns you out
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend

So now you know it's not too wise to ask me about lyrics...

Random

Aboard the Superman ESCAPE.


Me: So are you local?
Australian Man: Yeah, this is my first time on this.
Me: (Pfft?)

Both: WAAAAA!!!!

And the next 7 seconds were just sky, ground, sky, ground, sky, ground....

He looks 30 years older in that awful get up. Don't mean to insult the Scots, but McKratos? Wha?!!

From zero...

to Hero... (or is it the other way round?)

Give me back the original, sexier Kratos.

All the shit you have to remember for SPM.

This is how I do it.

ICSAS Installation 2009

Stepped down today! Didn't cry!!!! Yay!!!!

The installation was a bomb. Out of the 3 installs I attended this year, this is the best. Proof that the upcoming BOD, no, the current BOD is a bunch of energetic, talented and capable people. I'm proud of the great work they've done for the install.

Some aspects of the event were imperfect, and there were insults directed at certain parties, but all in all it was really good.

So paiseh of me to continue standing on the stage after giving the medal off to Joshua! I honestly did not know! Wye Hong said I just couldn't let go of my post. Pffft.

Like Vishal said, "Hey my medal is GONE!" Yes, our medals are gone, and are in younger hands right now. Better hands, I'm sure.

And I already miss my IU Bible, the precious blue KDU book with all the important details of IU Day. It's with Joshua now. Hope he does not throw away all the IU junk that Priya, Brandon and I have passed down to him. It's like a special IU legacy thing going on.

And I finally can send my well-worn blazer off for dry-cleaning. I have never washed it since the tailors delivered it to my school.

And I can call myself EX IU Director. Oooh....

And I shan't take it so hard.

And I shall treat myself tonight for all that one year's worth of hard work. And start studying (Oh my God!!!!!).

No more Interact for me. And don't you even dare congratulate me on my stepping down unless you want to be cursed at in German.

Pre-Install Blues

I'm banned. From the computer. For five days a week.

I. Can only use. The computer. For 2 days a week.

And in case you're thinking, hey that ain't so bad. That's 24 hours there. All I can say is, I wish.

I'm actually starting to write to-do lists before I come online, to maximise the very little quality time I have with pc dearest. I sound so desperate.

Installation's this Saturday, and I'm feeling a little blue. As much as I want to let the new BOD take over, I feel sad that my time is up. I can't let go. I really loved being the IU Director. It gave me a sense of purpose, to organise the IU Day, to try to exceed previous IU Days, to fill me up. When IU Day was over, I felt empty. Relaxed, but empty. And now that it's time to step down, I feel even emptier.

During the interview with Carol's BOD when I was running for the posts of IU Director and Community Service Director, they asked me a lot of difficult questions.

Which post would you prefer?
I was full of doubts on whether I could really handle the job of an IU Director. I'm okay with both. If I don't get IU, then I'm happy with Comm. And vice versa.

Which would you put first: Scouts or Interact?
Scouts. I was really convinced that Scouts was first, since it was the first thing I joined in Form One.

How wrong was I. When I got the IU Dir post, priorities changed. IU was FIRST. IU was second to NONE, not even studies, sleep, homework, scouts, English Language Society, etc. So began my slipping away from scouts, and I confess, my half-heartedness in running the ELS. And I was seriously very irritated with Quek's persistence in the same shit question Carol asked me: Scouts or Interact first?

I really wanted to just slap him and say, None. IU first.

And now with this upcoming Installation, the thing that I've been breathing will be taken from me. My heart is heavy, but I know it is the way to do things.

When Hon Zhen asked me, "Are you ready for install?" I couldn't say anything. I know I'm not ready. I still can't let go yet. I'm not thrilled of being relieved of another burden. I feel like Ahmadinejad and Mugabe (or Samy Vellu), I just can't seem to let go.

I just hope Joshua will enjoy himself as much as I did, and wish him all the best. When I hand over the blue IU book that has been my companion in organising the IU Day, I know it's really over. The end. Game over. Go and study.

Yours sincerely,
Soon-to-be Ex-IU Director

Just to clear things up

It's childish how people can simply accuse others without any proof. I'm so disappointed.

Honestly, I don't give a shit if you scored that A on your own or by copying. Your grades won't kill me. And I know it's natural for you all to suspect me since I'm the only Wednesday idiot there among you bunch of Friday peeps, but seriously you guys can't be THAT perasan to think that I'd bust your ass for copying.

We're 17 years old, okay. All this petty shit I have left it behind in primary school.

And c'mon, she's been teaching for 3/4 of her life. That's SOMETHING. So why can't you all just accept the fact that the woman is smarter than you?

If you are smart, people are not stupid.

So stop the accusing, cuz it's so no-life to do so.

Just blabbing

Yay! No need to do feature!! One less thing to do.

Albums hot on rotation:

The Kills Midnight Boom
La Roux La Roux
Ladyhawke Ladyhawke
Lady Gaga The Fame

Still haven't warmed up to Little Boots. I must be so outdated, I didn't know her face was plastered all over Channel V Featured Artist. I still thought she was obscure here in Malaysia. Her New in Town makes superb clothes boutique music. I was bopping along to the shamelessly poppy tune while observing a young, frighteningly obese Middle Eastern girl dancing to the song while trying on what must have been her 37th piece of clothing that night.

If you're 5 days away from your Aunt Flo (The Big Great Red Bath) and you're feeling a little tight on those nasty hormonal changes, then it's worth checking out Jackson Waters' Center of Attention. It's such a perfect song for indulging in melancholy. They're not available on Youtube, but they can be found at Myspace.

I have a Double

Hi, my name is Lee Yen Peng. If you didn't know that, well now you do.

And I just want you to know that I'm not the only Lee Yen Peng in this world. When I was 11 or 12, I received emails from panicking strangers asking me where I was. It seems another Lee Yen Peng in Malaysia had run away from home. She was 16 or 17. It was an MCA case, and it was supposedly a huge issue in that girl's community.

I don't know who she is, but the thought that there is another person with EXACTLY THE SAME NAME as mine is quite scary, especially when she is deemed to be some sort of troublemaker.

Out of curiosity (or vanity), I ran my name under google for the umpteenth time recently, and I stumbled upon this. Rudy's Pages.

In one of Rudy' posts, he openly condemned a wanton Lee Yen Peng, reducing her to a philandering nymphomaniac changing boyfriends like changing gears in a manual car. She has run away from home countless times, can't give a shit about her family and is a big obese liar.

I don't know who Rudy is, but I can certainly deduce that he's irrepressibly frustrated with Lee Yen Peng. The other Lee Yen Peng, that is.

Read the post for yourself.

A Letter for LEE YEN PENG

I really cant imagine how's your life now. Izzit same as few yrs ago, remain no $$ for meal, no $$ to topup hp, no place to live & only hav a cup of milo for whole day?

Y u wana 2 choosed tis kind of poor & stupid life? Izzit too bored wif comfortable life so now seek for the adventures? I really felt dissapointed wif u !! I told myself not 2 greet u if we meet 1day coz... i felt shame on u !!

Aren't u cant survive without a man for one day? U need it everyday?

Everytime when u found a new target, u moved away silently, leaving no news to parents. When u being dumped or no place 2 live, u came bac. I really cant count the exactly figure of luggage bag u owned now. How much is our value in your heart? Are u bormed 2 leave family? Plz count the sadness & troubleness u had brought 2 us... and the tear u gift to mum.

I had totally fed-up wif u... no more putting hope on u to take care of parents or helping them in shop. Still fresh in my memory... I asked u 2 stay more @ home coz parents will felt lonely after i married, u replied "ok.. ok..". But seem like u ran away more than b4. I really dunno wat r u thinking.

Everytime when u moved-in a new nest, his parents ask u the reason. I really cant believed the reason u gave them. U told them tat parents sweapt u away, papa was 'Ah Long', mum passed away, sister was a pub girl & cant felt the happiness at home. DAMM YOU !!! Dare u said tis kind of cold-blooded words! Dun u scare the God will punish u? Their parents sure felt surprised when dad & mum appreared at their house gate.

The onli word can be use 2 describe u r 'You r not a human'. U left ur parents juz for fun. Ppl who choose 2 leave their parents will not success in everything they do, juz like u.. untill now, u still cant get a gud person as ur bf. Gud guy will onli seek a gud gal as gf.. coz tis is whole life decision. Not like u.. changed twice a mth. Nobody willing take u as wife coz u'll run away anytime. Even u had committed wif children but tis cant stop u 2 seek for another man, I think tis was the man fear wif.

Now mum & dad r preparing 2 move 2 a new house nearby me, i'll take bac the responsibility to take care of them, will not give u any trouble in the future. U dun need them, they also dun need u anymore... bcoz all of us had used to it... the days without u.

In tis 6yrs, all chance had given 2 u but u dun appreciate... so we'll take bac all the priority.
U better care urself nicely & not to happen anything. I'll not put the mercy onto u. Parents always forgive u.. even they felt sad & fed-up but will become ntg juz bcoz of one of ur voice call. But not on me, dun try 2 use tis on me. Im so cleared wif all of ur trick & bullshit. Dun forget, i used 2 behave like tis b4. I had enough xperience wif tis. Every words came out from ur mouth, i'll not believe even is juz a word... coz i knew all of tis was a lies... u said all of tis is juz 2 reach ur wish, ur plan or 2 get benefit from us.

When the time for me 2 made decision hav arrive, i'll not let u 2 step into my house coz... is u who choose 2 left us 1st. Everyone should responsible for wat they had done. I wan u 2 feel the pain we had xperienced b4... tis is wat u should deserve.

(Yen Peng says "That's not me!!!!")

Yikes

Rushing to complete feature for school mag. I don't know if it will figure out well. It'll be a music feature on four different artists who make similar music, namely Lady Gaga, Ladyhawke, Little Boots and La Roux. Basically it'll be damn syok sendiri cuz nobody really knows who the other three are (all we know is LADY GAGA!!!), so it's just me raving about these four ladies and indirectly telling the whole school how uncommon my music taste is.

Probably not the whole school lahhh... who the hell is gonna read it.

Call alternative music weird, psycho, stupid, poor quality, horrendous, whatever. It's my kind of music. And if it's indie, even better.

Ladyhawke

Lady Gaga

Little Boots

La Roux

Sorry, stupid post.

Mighty Minds tomorrow. I don't know what to do.

PSP mania dying down. Pheww. It's not such a good time to have this sort of frenzy going on.

I Had a Dream

...and it was the MOST FREAKISH dream ever in my 17 years of existence.

So goddamn weird I actually had DIRTY thoughts running through my mind DURING the DREAM.

I dreamt I had a CUNT. And a DICK. At the SAME TIME.

I dreamt I was a HERMAPHRODITE. An INTERSEX HUMAN.

Scary. WAY TOO SCARY.

I say...

So I finally got through God of War: Chains of Olympus Challenge of Hades 3.

And now I'm stuck at Challenge 4.

Break 40 objects (some small, some big) under 60 seconds. Sounds mighty easy, but how come I keep dying at just 6 objects left?

It's annoying.I just want to finish the damn challenges and unlock some Scottish kilt for my Kratos.

YES ahh...

And it's done!

My PSP can finally play more games!!!

PSP Mania

Great news.

PSP 2000 2nd Batch is now officially hackable.

$#$%&^(&(*)*_^&$$@%!!!!! Finally!!!! I'm so sick of the four games that I've been stuck with for the past 7 months.

I'm so desperate, I'm actually watching Youtube videos on how to beat God of War's Challenge of Hades 3. It's a real bugger. Your life is decreasing rapidly, and you have to kill a minotaur, countless carnivorous birds and three shielded monsters within that limited span of life. And I keep dying and dying killing those damn birds.


Oh yeah, Kratos is sexy alright.

And it may seem like I bought the PSP at the wrong time (PSP 2 is coming out), but truth is, it's my first ever gaming console I have and will probably be the last. I love it so much, that today I accidentally dropped it on the floor and part of the body snapped off. And the part where you insert the UMD also went bengkok sikit.

I wanted to kill myself. thought of skipping Catholic's Install to fix it, but thank God I didn't, if not it would have been painfully embarassing. Hey, at least someONE stood up during roll call!!! Yes, you read it right. ONE. ME. AGAIN.

But the PSP is fine now. YAY!!! So I'm watching Youtube again to learn how to kill monsters. Wish me luck.

Artsier Fartsier Cards

Oh don't you even dare think that I ran out of cards after running the previous three series of cards on my blog. I've still got some left, and anyone who cares to contribute, feel free to do so, thank you!

So we've taken a look at minimalist cards where the aesthetics are kept relatively clean. They might be your thing, but it might not be.

This time, we move on to flashier, artier cards. They are quite hard to find actually, given that most corporate companies are always sticking to the drab white verbose style to maintain a dry, professional image.

Hands down the hottest name card I have in my collection. It's a graphic designer's card.

This card's got a very earthy, unpolished feel to it, like natural grunge. The coarse texture reminds me of hemp.

Employing photography is a good idea. This is actually a ticket card for the London Eye, but heck it's still a card.

Glossy, polished, youthful and disco pop-crazed. Can you feel the energy?

The 'Taste' stamp never fails to trick my mind into thinking that it's like some sort of a stamp of approval. Really effective.

Think Transformers. Think impressive.

Super kawaii!

Bright, fun, sprightly, exuberant, 100% NATURAL! Remember, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Gritty and severe without losing its appeal, this card reflects well the urgency to combat global warming.

PS: Sorry for crappy photographing.

Hhhh....

I'm so disappointed with someone right now. I think about it all the time, the way she's changed, how she's become so self-centred. I'm trying to understand her problem, but I don't see why she has to blow it out of proportions.

And she says I'm self-centred. Yeah, who isn't? But hers is really making me choke.

When can she start seeing past her problems and come back down to earth and stop distancing herself from me? It's hurting me.

Or maybe we've both changed.

The Kills

Phewww... yesterday wuz fun.

Assunta Install, then Karnival Samad, then Mid Valley, then the Curve, then Tesco. Macam tak nak balik rumah je....

(Yeah I know, the Tesco sounds a bit out of place)

Half dead when I got home...

So I'm taking a Slow Sunday today.

The Kills' Midnight Boom has been on excruciatingly heavy rotation. They make such addictive music. A London-based garage, lofi band, their sound is very stripped down and sparse, fused with jangly riffs, repetitive choruses and uncommon lyrics. Great stuff.

Yayyy!!!

Turns out that I WON'T be going to Assunta Install alone. Yahoo...

Checked out Tropicana City Mall's GSC today. Watched Transformers (again, but I don't mind). The quality of the cinema was not good, it's something you'll get from One Utama TGV. The picture was slightly blur, the colour was dark, and there's this perpetual fuzzy spot buzzing around in the middle of the screen.

So I'm just gonna go back to ol' Mid Valley and One Utama GSCs. I'll brave through the daunting queue.

Now I'm thinking about the shows that I'll miss in Karnival Samad when I'm at Assunta Install. And I do feel bad abit. But if I don't go for Assunta Install, I'll feel bad too. Cuz truth is, I wanna go for both and stay for both the whole time.

I'm so used to having it all. I'm so spoilt.

So Assunta Install better be kickass good.

PS: My mum prepared me a bloody study timetable. It'd be the first study timetable in my life. Like what the fa...?

Alone...

I think I will be the only idiot going to Assunta Install this Saturday. Takpe...asalkan ada wakil kan? The souvenir better be good!

Didn't get NS! Woohoo!!! Sorry, I don't look forward to leaving civilisation behind for THREE MONTHS. There is nothing like the city. And nothing can beat the sexiness of those blue camo NS suits.

Will be watching Transformers again. Megan Fox is oozing sex out of every pore. Shia is adorable, but he can barely hold a candle to his foxy co-star in terms of on-screen presence. This time I better get a nicer seat. Duwan front seat di. Can see Shia's pimples.

SIMPLE Name Cards pt 2

A little some more to browse through...

Simplistically cute.

The card is such a delight. Not the same applies to the restaurant though...

A demure, oriental-inspired card . Material: platinum white

Lime green has taken over the 21st century, and here it is so succintly used to convey 'life'.

The calm, serene tone of this card communicates the relaxing atmosphere of the facial spa.

I like black cards. Period.

Minimalistic. Straightforward. Lovely.

When in doubt, just let the logo do the talking.

A nice little present wrapped neatly for your clients.
