i need a haircut...

yay!!

one of my favorite group from the alternative years has comeback with a new single!!

that's right my friends, Smashing Pumpkins is back (without Iha and D'Arcy) with their new single, Tarantula. listen to it here. check out those riffs and solos!! there's hardly any group nowadays that had guitar solo in their song nowadays, which means that this is a great breath of air!!

check out their single HERE!! wait for the song to load and click the play button on the embedded player.. awesome!!

was downloading old songs.. this time i was revisiting the brit-pop era. yup.. poor americans can't tolerate with their whiny, depressing music. but not us!! hahaha...

memories came to me one by one... i remember there's one girl in college gave me this song.. and we used to sing it together while studying.. damn.. i wish i can meet her now and see how she is..




yes sir, it's none other than Oasis' Champagne Supernova.. effing cool!

ok..i'm seriously hooked to SP's new single. can't wait for July.. hope the album is worth to get.. enuff of "rock god" crap Billy.. that's the last thing the rock and roll world needs now.. i think by now he should realize that it's because of that image nobody wants to listen to him anymore...

i should get back to work now.. enuff of reminiscing..

gonna go watch pirates after work.. another free movie.. hahah!

daa!~

we live in a beautiful world...

check out my Visual DNA below. i've updated the pictures with some of my thoughts. hehehe. cool thing..

well the rat race continues. but was a weekend it was..

i would like to thank publicly to TGV and Traxx FM for the invites to the "Pirates Of The Carribean" cruise party on Saturday. it was fun, the food was good, and to be surrounded by massive amount of water (Tasik Putrajaya), good company, new acquaintances.. amazing.. now i can say i've been on a yacht and a cruise!!

other than that, i finally reached lvl 30 in my WoW. hehe. after 3 weeks!! ok, i did slack off a few times, doin mining and auctioning rare stuffs.. but i can't help it!!

WoW aside, back to reality.

today is the first weekday without school kids. yes, that's rite, it's the school holiday. now why am i so happy? well for start, the LRT isn't packed with ppl. that's what i like about school holiday. less jam, less hassle, less ppl..

it's really weird. on how all this are interconnected to some simple thing such called "school holiday". i mean, does school holiday means that a lot of ppl are taking up their annual leave? so that they can go back to their hometown and have fun with their niece and all? somehow i just can't process that thought..

anyway, my earphones died on me last saturday. normal wear and tear. MY kinda wear and tear. hehehe. thus, today i'm musicless on the lrt.

and just like a bat, i heard everything.. i tell you, you can really categorize a person just by their mp3 ringtones. seriously! like just now, there's this M2M's song ringtone.. so i'm guessing it must be a cheery, bubbly, typical chinese girl (i'm not generalizing, this opinion is solely based on experience).. and i looked around.. IT IS!!!

hahha.. of coz when it's a malay song you know it's a malay chick la..

had breakfast in McD today..nice.. had a nice view too..

i dunno how can some ppl forgot they are wearing a short skirt... and spread open their legs showing off their lilac-colored panties for ppl to see early in the morning.. weird things i must say..

hmm...guess nothing much left to do now.. it'll be 3 in 9 minutes.. a few more hours till i call the day off..

chow guys.. have a good Monday..

daa!~

see..this is what boredom led me to do..


in which i can say is very cool. hehehe. 90% are true... i wonder who created this...

get yours at www.imagini.net and let's compare the results.. :P

you can climb on a ladder up to the sun..

currently listening to coldplay..
wow.

it's been awhile since i listen to their album.. first 2 was good, 3rd one was shite..

it's almost 5pm. i really2 want to go back home.

all my work has been completed, been slacking off since 3pm just now with nothing to do. wanted to sleep, but i'm not that sleepy. heh.

my mind is almost a complete blank.. all i can think now is WoW..
something happened after i downloaded the new patch a few days ago. the framerate was up by 30%, the connection was better, and it's faster to load nowadays. cool..

hmm..probably i'll do some random friendster surveys while waiting the clock to strike 5.45pm.

till then, have a good weekend guys..

daa!~

t'was a nite in Athens

ok..we lost. but there's always some story during the match..

loco (via sms): oh well. they deserve the win after having to endure 2 years of pain we've inflicted them.

me (looks at the score line, 2-0, 5 minutes to go) : i want a goal!!!

pressed SEND

looks to tv. corner kick to Liverpool.

Kuyt header. GOAL!

loco (via sms): happy birthday!!

wow.. if only i could get things that easy.. :P

should have texted "i want a super hot babe to be my gf!!!" rite?

or maybe "i want BMW M6!!"??

hahahaha... wishful thinking...

oh well.. time for spring cleaning Rafa..

*come to think about it again, we dun have multi million pound players.. ok la.. maybe Stevie G. but we never bought him. and yet with this kinda team, we beat Chelski and Barca on the way to the finals..

i'm not depressed. it's all good.

daa!~

10 days later..

it's been 10 days since i've reached 28. many things have been goin on in my head for the past months. many.. many things..

my latest obsession with WoW is mere a distraction. i took it more as a hobby now. tho i was quite impressed with my rare item searching skill nowadays. i managed to sell one of the rare item for 17 Gold in the Auction House. impressive i must say. hehehe...

anyway, looking back, for the past 10 year had been great. a lot of stuff happened around me that somehow makes me mature in a way. but still i act like a 24 year old most of the time. i just can't help it.

i've almost forgotten how it is to love someone. that was in my head this morning.

i told loco sometime in the weekend, it's not that i do not want it, it's just that i find it very hard to find someone that can accept me for who i am, and do not have the irks that i hate in a girl.

yeah, i keep saying that. but i can't help to have standards. call it shallowness, call it anything. the truth is, i have a set of criterias that i look into before i can say that i like someone.

that person must not be hot, i'm not a hunk. that person must not be rich, i used to be a beggar. but that person must have human value. inner beauty, strength and self reliance plus self dependancy.

i'm tired of a girl getting pissed and annoying just because i didn't reply her sms, while all that time i silenced my phone to get some well deserved shut eye. i'm tired of a girl who do not know what and how it is to be a performer, tho i know i'm nowhere near superstardom. i'm tired of a girl who call in every now and then while i'm working just to check on me. yes, i appreciate the courtesy, but which part of "do not disturb me during office hours" that you do not understand?

basically, what i want after this, is a no nonsense, no bullshit girl.

the thing is, is there such girl like that in this world?

not to say that i won't give any attention to that girl. it's just that, i hope she understand when and where. all of us have priorities in life, and mine is my job.. no matter how much i may hate it.

second is my life and my friends.. my dual natured life (as myself and as Mr Tech). tho i must admit that sometimes i do not know which one is the more dominant. oh no, i'm not having a personality conflict, it's just that it's hard to balance the life of a performer and a white collar worker at the same time. i have many "friends" but only a few friends. these few select ppl of friends will always have priorities over anything most of the time.

third is my family... for better or worse, they will always be there for me.

then lastly, if that person is lucky enuff, is that particular girl. whoever that is.

you gotta work your way up real hard, that's why i placed it way at the bottom. hehe. if that person really worth it, my priorities can and will change..

oh. i'm not condemning any girls, really. it's just that i dunno.. i've reached to a point in my life that i do not want any more bullshit.

like i always say.. let's get this done and over with..

so be happy whoever who have found their life partner. tho i know it's not all sweet and flowery all the time. but know that, at least you have a person to fall back to when times get rough. all i have is myself and my poor brain most of the time..

thus.. why i am so thankful Joe lend me his WoW copy on that fateful day. heheh..

enuff of me crappin.. i'm getting cranky by the minute. i'll continue later.. work beckons..

daa!~

dual wielding is AWESOME!~

ok..it's been a long while since i dropped something here. this time, i'm not busy. i was sick.. for quite a long time.

well to start, i would like to say million thanks to those who wished me/sent me a card/created blog post/ ramble in MSN status/ gave me a weapon that i can only use when i'm lvl 60/ gave me new shirt for my character/ wished me altogether during audition on my last birthday.

yup.. Joe gave me a weapon that i can only use when my WoW character reach lvl 60. that will probably take place in the next 5 months. hehehe.

Miss D the priestess gave me a new shirt for my character.

i think someone gave me some copper bars. hahaha.

funny when you celebrate your birthday online.

i had the whole set of judges wished me happy birthday on the audition for Nokia N95 Wireless Adventure. that audition was.. weird. hahaha. thank goodness for 3G technology. and thank Mr. Vic for lending his phone. yes loc, have ma'keh, will travel! hahah!~

today is the first day i'm in the office since last thursday. yes. i was that sick.. now, i got millions of things to do. but my in my mind, i really wished i could go home and play WoW.

signs that i'm addicted :-
  1. when i got free time at work, i'll browse to this site to find out about quest and how to maximise my character attack attributes.
  2. i went to YouTube and watch WoW related videos. mostly crap. but i laughed silently knowing how crappy the video was.
  3. changed my status to my character's name and lvl.
  4. planning what to do next when i get back home and log on the server. (probably grind my mining and blacksmithing skill, since in one day i can reach lvl 49)
  5. planning my solo raid on this group quest (you need a group to do it, but i'm an anti social maniac, i tend to do stuff alone in that game)
  6. thinking how to farm more golds to buy more stuffs.

ok.. i'm obsessed

hahaha..

ok..better get back to work.. work pays the bill, work pays WoW account. hahah!

anybody want to be my FF gym partner?

take care guys..
daa!~

SumoLah : Advanced Review & Premiere Gala Report

i should have written this yesterday, but i was too occupied with work.. so here it is..

after months of months of teasing, finally Afdlin Shauki let his new masterpiece out to the masses. tell you guys the truth, i really can't wait to watch the movie. coz i've watched each and every one of Afdlin's movie and seriously, i am really looking forward to SumoLah.

anyway we got VIP invitation to the premiere, simply because 2 of loco's song are in the movie. you guys can follow the link after the movie jump below to find exclusive behind the scenes footage of the recording of the song.



the event was happening to the max. lotsa local celebrities came to show support to Afdlin. i didn't get to take pictures with them, but i shook so many well known ppl's hands! hahah!

at the event loco did perform his first single, Legend Of Boo and after that it's me and him performing the single from the movie, U.V.I.P.






the crowd danced (again!) and clapped to us. it was very overwhelming to me since most of them are celebrities and here i am, a nobody on the stage.

on to the movie.

the movie tells a story about a typical Malay guy, Ramlee(Afdlin). who is a bum, jerk, and whatever stupid labels that you can label a typical Malay with.

yes, i do get the jerk-iness of him early in the movie.

as we move along the movie, it's becoming clear to Ramlee of his purpose and his new found friendship value to Haris (Awie) and Andy (Radhi Khalid) and his employer, Mr Honda (Patrick Teoh).

and there's a hint of love in sense of Siti (Inthira) thru out the movie. she was so hot in the movie and in real life. see for yourself.. :P



so anyway, the movie had a lot of message and it does teach us about how to persevere. "Nokotta" is my new motto of life.

direction wise, i think this is the most serious movie Afdlin had ever directed. the serious perseverance tone, human spirit and a man's journey to self discovery is carefully been laid out through out the movie. hats off to Afdlin and his script writing team.

what impressed me through out the movie was the continuity, and the character development. each character had backstories to them and doesn't look as an empty shell in the story at all. nothing has been put "just to make it beautiful". you can see a little bit of human touch here and there in the movie. marvelous.

again kudos must be given to Inthira for her effort in acting in a Malay movie. tho a few of her lines had trouble with pronounciation, still, she gave her 100%.

Gurmit Singh's Akira is a guy that you'll love to hate. he managed to portray a character who is lost tho he saw what is right and wrong.

in a nutshell, this movie had more story and soul compared to Spider-Man 3. i foresee Afdlin winning more awards because of this movie again.

i give this movie a perfect 5 star. there's no way in categorising this movie straight away. none of other malaysian director's crap are in here. it's very different and it feels international. way to go Afdlin and the gang. the full cinema standing (some) ovation was the answer to that.


so what are you waiting for? go watch this movie tomorrow. and bring your family along. everybody can and should watch this movie. it's a lesson that should not be missed.

i'm off to my work now. have fun..

daa!~

i'm bored, therefore i write

it's the 3rd of May..
and this is my wishlist for the coming year... (i always count my years starting my bday)

1. A car - i keep saying this every year. let's just hope that i can actually afford something besides a Proton this year.

2. my own EP - yes. you've read it correct, my own EP. 6 songs maybe..

3. more money - yes. i want this too.

4. X360 - hehe. coming from a sony fan. but yeah. i think X360 is more stable than PS3. period.

5. good health - i'm approaching 30 (but i look and act 24!~), this is like a compulsory now. one hospitalization is enuff for me. boring!!!

6. more respect - finally i want some recognition. been in the shadows for too long.

7. new phone - finally, i'm giving up on non WAP, non 3G phones. i want some truetones on my phone. i want some 2 megapixel plus camera on it. i want colour screen.

8. Liverpool to win Champions League - this will be another great bday gift from the boys.

9. The Walking Dead Vol 2 (hardcover) - c'mon! why isn't this out yet??

10. for someone to realize that it's not too late to turn back and start over - someone will understand this. maybe. if that person look inside her heart deep enuff. find the inner child.

11. a bday dinner - anyone have spare change? feed me? please? pretty please...?

so there.. 11 wishes..
in which i dun think any of these will come true (cept for no. 8)...

sad mode continues..

daa!~

status check : depressed

i'm still high from yesterday. yes, Liverpool beat Chelsea in the Semi Finals to march to Athens for the Champion League's Finals.

how many times can i say that? TWICE...

the first time was back in 2005. hahaha. deja-vu eh?

social life is almost non existent now. been hooked to Azeroth so much that when they did the server restart and maintenance yesterday and today, i feel a bit itch in my head. yes. weird i know.

i think it's good in a way. at least i have something to do in these times. times of depression..

May 11th is coming soon.. do i have a wishlist like previous years? YES.

will i ever put up the list? YES.

wait.. it'll come.. rite now..i'll stop.

nite ppl.

you will never walk alone....
