Music: Supermassive Black Hole by Muse

Sounds I like to hear..
Camera clicks..
High heels/boots..
The piano..
Clock ticking.. seconds' needle..
Flip phones being flip opened and closed (they usually sound better on tv)..
Bass.. ie.. bass guitars.. bass drums (as opposed to the song melody/main riff ... easier done with eyes closed)
F1 cars/engines roaringgg...
-inspired by that Sony mp3 advert-

That girl who plays Claire Bennet in Heroes is freakin hot...
Problem is, she's short..
If I were a mat salleh..
I'd definitely wanna have blonde hair..
Britney's blonde...
But she's bald now..
Come on Britney..
Get out of your slump and do your thing!

I'm lacking substance.

Music: Haruka Kanata by Asian KungFu Generation

Tapi cam penat gak aa aku..
Harini pi kerja cam ngantuk gila..
Buat kerja sikit gila..
Takde mood ni nak kerja..
Cepat laaa weekend!
Tak sabar nak pi concert Muse nih!!
Harap2 takde org2 kepam dan busuk yg pi..
Since aku beli tickets kat standing area...
Apparently, found out that a bunch of other friends are going too..
So ok aa.. daripada 4 org.. jadi lah lebih 10 org...
diorang beli standing area gak..
Chantekk lahhh...
Tapi dammit the next day takleh amik cuti..
Coz ada kerja..
Bz wey the next 2 months ni...
Malasss siottttt
Aku nak main guitar je..
Tanak buat menda lain..

Speaking of which..
On Sunday aku tiba2 teringin gila nak main guitar balik..
Member aku offer aku letak guitar kat rumah dia..
(to those in the dark, my father prohibits me from playing the guitar.. nak rebel senyap2 ni lol)
So terus tanya a few friends mana nak beli guitar..
Found out that a friend is selling his guitar and amp (thanks Asrif for the info)
Just my luck man...
So got hold of my friend..
Jamming se-round ngan member aku..
Most prob gonna take it..
Coz its such a good deal..
Aku baru tau guitar kat Malaysia ni mahal dohhh..
The only thing that sucks right now..
Is that aku ngan member aku ni je yg ada utk jamming..
Mana perempuan lain yg main guitar ni???
Takde keeeeeeeeeeee....
Mari lahhh jamming sekaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...
Apa citer jamming dua org..
Nak 3 org..
Guitar, bass and drums..
Need another guitar playahhhh..
Sapa2 kenal sapa2..
Intro2 lah kat aku...
Hmm now that I think about it..
I do have another female friend yg main guitar...
Birthday mate aku lagi...
Ex school mate aku lagi..
Ok2 gonna ask her lah..

A guy friend once said to me..
Dlm banyak2 pompuan dia kenal yg start main guitar..
Besides aku...
Semua semangat halfway je..
Last2 give up..
Gila sucks...

Oh yeah.. I still haven't finished Wicked..
Short term plan pun fail...
Long term takyah cakap aa kan...
Dang it..

Music: Listen to My Heart by BoA

Bishonen is a Japanese term for "beautiful boys" (all Japanese-lovers should know this).
I had nothing to do, so I looked up the word in Wiki, just for fun..
It had a list of anime characters who are considered bishonen.
And whaddaya know..
All my favorite anime characters are in the list hahahah..
For example..
Athrun Zala (Gundam SEED) <-- top of my list!
Himura Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin) <-- My wall scroll
Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist) <-- Also my wall scroll
Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach)
Syuusuke Fuji (Prince of Tennis)
Train Heartnet (Black Cat)
Ryosuke Takahashi (Initial D)
There's also another list of popular Asian artists considered bishonen
and guess what lah...
Matsumoto Jun is one of them!
Yamapi and Koike Teppei and Hideaki Takizawa pun ada!
hahahahhaa..
Both these lists have single-handedly proven that..
Without doubt..
Pretty boys are totally my type! ^_^

There's so many animes showing on TV right now..
It's so freakin awesome..
Prince of Tennis.. Naruto.. Bleach.. Black Cat.. Trinity Blood.. Full Metal Alchemist..
and lots more..
The thing is.. I've watched all of them LOL

Music: Zombie by Cranberries

I spent the whole day at my friend's house playing pool.
Also, an old friend (well not really) suddenly contacted me and we had dinner together.
Good Saturday for me.

You know how was lamenting about the future of my career past on my previous post..
Suddenly on Friday..
Something happened at work..
My biggest boss wanted to meet me in his office..
We had a little chat..
And I might just get what I want..
Nothing is definite as of now..
Only time will tell..
What a coincedence lah...
As if my boss read my mind..
Maybe, he read my blog! hahaha.. well, of course not lah..
Maybe God answered my prayers..
I dunno..
Hope things will turn out in my favor..
Amen.

Music: Unforgettable by Natalie Cole

Hao peng you.. Ni zai nali?
Ichiban tomodachi.. Anatawa doko?
I have tons of friends..
Lots of good friends..
And a handful of very good friends..
But best friends.. has amounted to none.. zilch.
Everyone's busy with their own lives..
Chasing careers..
Building families..
Maybe the way I interpret a "best friend" is a little different..
Maybe my expectations are too high..
Maybe I take too much..
and give too little..

Work is okay, will be very busy for the next few months..
But the satisfaction that I used to get from my work has dwindled..
I'm ready to move on to new things
Do something more important.. as in more technical
Gotta tell my boss to give me more responsibilities
Gotta gain more trust
I guess I have to move up a notch and study harder..
Show that I'm capable
Oh well..

Life is not mundane, I'm always doing something or going somewhere..
after work.. and during weekends..
But it's also kinda stagnant in a way..
Apart from saving up money
and paving my career path..
I don't really have any other goals..
Can't get rid of this hollow feeling that's always lingering around the corner..
What are my long term plans?
The next obvious thing to do.. is.. what else other than getting married, right?
(Damn, asyik2 cakap pasal kawin.. bosan dah aku..)
At the end of the day (I hate this sentence, soooo freakin overused in TNB, it makes me sick)
I feel unfulfilled..

Haha, do I sound melancholic? Or depressed?
(Blame this Natalie Cole song! LOL)
No, definitely not depressed.
Just.. empty.

Anyhoo, I'm reading this book titled Wicked.
It's about the Wicked Witch of The West in Wizard of Oz..
Everyone knows about Dorothy Gale with the Red Shoes..
the Scarecrow with No Brains..
the Tinman with No Heart..
the Cowardly Lion..
But what about the Green Witch with The Pointed Nose and Long Hat?
How did she grow up?
Who are her parents?
What's her real name?
Are there important people that she cares about in her life?
Is she really a bad person, or circumstances turned her into the Wicked Witch?
It's the kind of book that makes you think outside the box..
Bought it like more than a month ago..
Since I don't have a definite long term plan..
A short term plan will suffice for now..
I'm gonna finish this book this CNY holidays.. hehe
Nearly half way through..
I heard that the broadway in US is like..
totally awesome and the storyline is sooo sad that people cry..
I could use a good cry right about now..

Music: No Other Way by Jack Johnson

I just came back from Cameron Highlands. 2 day trip to some hydro power stations. I'm not supposed to come to work today, but my boss wanted me to help him with sth, promised to meet at 1030, and he went to a meeting at someplace else instead. Now I have to stay till he comes back. Just when I thought I wanted to relax at home the whole day. Now I'm stuck at the office. Blearghhhh.. I'm already on holiday mood lah!

On Sunday, TNB organized a futsal tournament. I participated, represented our department (they were quite strict on that). 11 women teams registered. Guess what la.. we won!!!!!!! wooohooooo.. Johan beb.. my first time ever.. winning 1st place.. kat Midwest Games paling kuat pun 3rd.. prize money rm750.. ok aa gak hehe.. boss even sponsored our jerseys.. and another unknown sponsor bought us original england jerseys ngehahahha. (unknown coz I didn't ask my team manager who, but she somehow managed to get it for us). so, getting rm93 + england jersey + nike jersey + track pants, pretty good weekend for me hehe.

Right after our final game. Teammates + Boss (baju batik) + Coach (the other guy).

Music: Devils & Angels by Toby Lightman

Saturday night, I went to an acoustic concert at Taman Budaya in KL.. titled.. Love, Peace & Harmony Concert 2007.. organized by Xfresh.com and Deathstar Productions and Malaysians for Peace. Got free tickets courtesy of a DJ friend on XfreshFM. The performers were relatively unknown, underground bands.. yet to break into the Malaysian mainstream music industry. 8 bands performed. 1 band sucked really bad, 1 band was so-so but attitude wise, they were assholes.. 3 bands were totally awesome mmg best gila.. the other 3 were good. so to sum it up, I really enjoyed myself ya... went with 3 other friends, and surprise2.. met another bunch of friends at the theater.. a fun night, good time spent. If you're interested in our local underground bands, read on.

--The awesome bands are namely

1) The Shahrins Band
totally awesome songs, drum beats were unique, songs were like a fusion of light rock+raggae+soul+world.. lead singer nyanyi ala2 dave matthews. best group of the night.

2) Fasy
they're from Maldives, but I think they reside in Malaysia maybe? The Lead guitar player was omfg hebat gila nak mati, played quite a few instrumental pieces, I closed my eyes most of the time to actually appreciate the good music and get into it..

3) Mia Palencia
She's a Filipino-Malaysian.. suara sedap gila.. mmg merdu habis lahh.. played the guitar (rhythm), lead guitarist was a perempuan yeay! goreng2 lagi.. I like.. composes her own songs.. I took videos for every song that she sang hahah.. Ex member of a band called Double Take.

--The 3 OK bands are
1) Astar
They're engineering students from University Malaya.. hahahah.. berfoya-foya plak kanak2 ni... but takpe, I like them coz they're engineering majors hahaha.. lead singer was quite good.. they played only covers though.. a remake of Widuri by Broery Marantika.. sedap bebb.. cam pop+raggae.. they even had an accordian! hehe coolness.. and the other song was Dialova.. so-so lah this one, i don't like this song.. but they played it ok.

2) Superbar
Know what? Anybody can mis-spell the band name as Superbra.. hahahh.. my dj friend cum emcee of the night said this. This is a punk band, they were quite good lah.. but coz I don't like punk bands.. cam Good Charlotte etc.. so I didn't think anything else. They didn't play acoustic though, suka hati je..

3) Zubira
Nice songs, lead singer was ok, played well.. nothing much I can say. Borrowed bass guitarist from Jeopardise, borrowed drummer from Seven Collar Tshirt (the only band name that I've heard of prior to coming to this concert actually).

--The band that sucked was
1) Panic Overdrive Lead singer sumbang sikit2. Guitarists were mediocre, and kantoi sekali masa tgh goreng.. was kinda obvious cause the other guitarist had to slow down the rhythm for him to get back into the right beat.. THeir songs were.. normal.. ala2 All American Rejects.. which is kinda irritating.

--The band with the attitude problem
1) Paku
They were pissed cause Superbar 'broke the rules' and did not perform acoustic. They complained about the sound system (which I thought was really good actually--the sound system, that is). If behind curtains takpe, but all these complaints were actually said on stage infront of every freakin person there, they were the last band and it was 12.15am and everyone was tired and wanted to go back and they had to be a bitch. They announced that they were gonna on a 'UK tour' in the next few weeks and applause was minimal, hah! They asked the audience to come to front and head bang I guess.. nobody moved. Enough said.

--So, do check out the top 3 bands I talked about if you have the chance. Support local bands! NOT Indonesian groups!!!
