GONE FISHING

figuratively, so to speak

Goodbye EDIT (Side A)

i'll make this brief
i'll do a proper one when my head is straight.
when im not rushed


it has been a really realy good year (plus and minus)
once again i bid you
goodbye, Melbourne


-----------------------


"i tried every approach to living
i havent tried everything but i tried every approach

sometimes you have to try everything to get the approach

i tried it all
i bought a bunch of stuff
i came in and out of that a couple of times

thought i should shut myself off
i thought, maybe thats cool
maybe thats what you have to do to be a genius
to be mad

so if you get mad before the word GENIUS
then maybe you can make the word genius
then you can make GENIUS appear, right?

that doesnt work either

i made a lot of stuff happen for myself
thats a really cool sentence when you're in your twentees
"i made it happen for myself"


what am i trying to say is that i messed with all the approaches except for one
and its going to sound really corny but thats just LOVE
thats just LOVE

i've done everything in my life that i want do (well maybe not)
to except just give and feel love for my living

and i dont mean like roman candle firework, hollywood hot pink love
i mean like, i GOT YOUR BACK love

i dont need to hear I LOVE YOU
you guys love me, i love you
we got that down

but some of the people who would tell you that they love you
is the same people who would last have your back

so im going to experiment with this love thing
giving love, feeling love..

i know it sounds corny but its the last thing i got to check out before i check out"

The Irony

i wish this was a tv show

easy answers

endings wrapped up in a bow

but this is real

and its gonna end bloody

thats just how its gotta be

blah

I've got the blues but i shook them loose

Slack Tides

man has been always drawn to the sea
but its an unnatural setting for us
a place of great danger

tides, currents, waves, wind
each presenting their own hazards
none of which could be ignored

the slightest laps of judgment
can be a mistake you might never recover from

but a good sailor doesnt fight against these elements
a good sailor works with them
using them to his advantage

while others less fortunate might be forever cast adrift
often in several pieces


he always comes home...

safely

PWNED!

From the rooftops of Brazil
to the fiery city Washington DC
and sandstorms of Afghanistan..

i conquered Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 !
the story is freaking brilliant and epic!

and the ending was.. woah.. dramatic as it can ever be!


this is Captain 'Soap' Mactavish,
signing out

this is not a love story

2 (unbelievably awesome) movies in one day is just too much
but i'd make this exception any day.

i think the author and I share some common grounds.






go ahead, call me a wuss.
i dont care

you look like a radioactive tampon

although this is just my second day as a 'free man'
i already ran out of things to do.
to think, i've got so much planned out after im done.

this is how i spent my free time so far,
and i admit its been good (but it has only been 2 days!)

had an awesome yumcha yesterday at Crystal Jade.
i ended up sleeping early and...

i woke up at 6.30 am (fully awake no kidding)
and so i tried to call as many ppl as i could.
i manage to get Romesh out and we had breakfast at European
yes, just the 2 of us.


after settling some bills (im productive today aren't I?)
i decided,
why not a movie at Nova, Carlton

it was either Heath Ledger's 'The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus'
or
Sam Rockwell's 'Moon'

and so i went with...


this was the first time i watched a movie at a cinema in the morning and i went alone
it was fun, the cinema was practically empty.

and the movie,
i could not explain how awesome this movie turned out to be....

im still thinking about it as we speak.
could easily be one of the best movies i've seen this year.
and Sam Rockwell played it so brilliantly
(my personal point of view, mind you)

I was literally almost in tears (and that dont happen much)
if you're patient and enthusiastic about movies like...
this would be IT

but somehow (again, my opinion)
i dont think enough people will appreciate the movie like I did



who needs Brad Pitt when we have Sam Rockwell !

blessed with another

new album
this time, its

EVERY AVENUE - PICTURE PERFECT


i should be a promoter

We have just lost cabin pressure

When you have insomnia,
you're never really asleep...
and you're never really awake.



on the side note;

My Birthday Post!!

.















.
and you were expecting?


p/s

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THE WISHES
IT KEPT COMING AND COMING
YOUR WISHES REALLY MEAN A LOT TO ME
I LOVE YOU GUYS TO BITS!


although my birthday got sucky-er by the year.
but im not complaining

how i spent my birthday?
sleeping the day away.

no no,
you dont have to be sympathetic
trust me,
its not as bad as it sounds.

right,
more work. design and retail due



age is only numbers anyway?

Happy Birthday!

Mr Arsene Wenger !




and not forgetting all you October ppl as well!
i know its hard to have birthdays at this time of the year.

but it doesnt matter,
we rock anyway!!

cheers to us

Just Listen

Close your eyes
Touch my skin
Lay back and let go
Breathe me in
Hear this moment
Born again



i STRONGLY suggest you watch this next clip.
if you have time...
its about 20mins. but its worth every single minute

Still Breathing

time's racing,
please slow down.


i've got to find a way out.
im hopeless but hoping,
my lungs won't fail me now.


because im still breathing.

a new career perhaps?

he has everything.
he dribbles, unlimited cash, dive, in a sensibly good club *cough* and even ... sing!

im guessing this is how he attract ladies?



maybe not...

in case you're wondering..

what happened to Highbury..
well here it is...




look at 1:06-1:16 (haha!)

i wouldnt mind living here AT ALL
but a 1 bedroom flat for a quarter of a million, i'd think twice.
but think of it this way, ur living in a place where legends used to play, history made.

1913-2006

Save Your Heart,

I Swear This Time I Mean It

Anywhere But Here...

get it

why?

one word = cunt-face-cock-sucking-redneck (yes, its a word)




and they made him Student Leader. Its these ppl that makes life ever so much harder. I feel disgusted and frustrated at the same time, this coming from a Malay.
One of the reasons why I dont feel comfortable in Malaysia anymore, in my own country, can you imagine that. Instead, i can easily call Melbourne home as the Malaysians and possibly other nations are more united.


now hows about this....




now thats more like it....!

Tuesday is...

movie day.. its been a while since i head out to watch a movie in the cinema.
tonight we decided to do something different.
instead of the ever so normal Melbourne Central's HOYTS, we went all the way to Lygon St's Nova.
since i came to Melbourne, i had never been there so today's the first (and hopefully NOT the last)

although the Cinema dont have XTREMESCREEN or none of those fancy-pancy stuff, it has this very indie vibe (well at least for me it was) and i simply love love it!

so Praveen, Romesh and I set out to watch "Looking For Eric" starring Eric Cantona, iconic and legend in the world of football.

(this is so wrong of me to post this picture up)

dont get me wrong, i am not a Utd fan but this movie is (well, technically) not about Utd depending on which perspective ur looking at.
Definitely touched and simply brilliant!
you dont have to be a football junkie to watch this movie.



next Monday,
Che : Part One @ Nova for sure...

be rockin that beat... yep yep

Alex, this one's for you!




oukayyyy... goosebumps!
but hey, its all fun! *right?

Happy 13th !

i meant to post this earlier***

HAPPY 13TH MR ARSENE WENGER, sir!

a master tactician, a true legend, and overall a humble bloke,
telling long long stories about him in this post is unnecessary.

click link if you're still curious what been going on with him these past couple of years though.



here's to more years to come!!



oooh oooh oooh to be,
oooh to be a GOONER!

technically...

my holiday is over, although i have another week to go...
assignments doesnt just go away..
(although i DID have fun during the weekend!)

i have to start as soon as possible.
meaning all nighters yet again.
October will be one of the busiest month im gonna endure.
less sleep, less play, less anything. theres not even going to be a birthday for me this year.
yes, that bad.

work work and more work // 7 subjects to hand in within a month, god have mercy.

but if everything turns out alright, i should done at the end of October and im just left with my folio work to do.

i know im always nagging about work but i cant think of anything else right now.
blehhh

you know that feeling where you don't wanna do work but you have to?
yeh, that goddamn feeling.

*insert sad face here*

i love

the way you that we laughed until we cry...

danced until we die

i love

the smile with which you looked at me and say...

get ready for this

breather filler lengthy wordy

word.

i haven't been properly blogging for quite some time now and i think now's kinda the perfect time to do it. i would love love love to do a video blog because its just so much easier but unfortunately im not good with editing and im a tad bit shy with cameras.
the idea of talking to myself in front of a camera will have goosebumps running all over me boddeyy..
aaaanyhoo,

life's been pretty "kind" to me as of late.
work hard during weekdays (and i do mean hard) pays off with usually a well-deserved weekend. Though i always lose track of time because all-nighters in the lab with Wiri.
(definition of all-nighter is going to the lab at night and 'work' till the sun comes up)

im on holidays now, (2 weeks apparently *unconfirmed*) and im the holiday mood! yeay.
However, i am sooooooo not used to NOT doing anything during weekdays. thats how effed up i am now because of too much work. i know, i know.. its a "good thing" *doing it with a sulking face*. blehhh

i havent got pictures to brighten up this post...

what else what else... im typing as i think here ppl. im too lazy to edit schmedit.

. im sick of of my playlist.. all 3000+ of em! im in desperate need of new bands and songs!
. my ankle is recovering from a torn muscle, its been nearly 4 weeks and slowly doing runs and hopes to be fit by next week for Romesh's comeback game since he broke his leg.. AGAIN...
. i shaved my head. yes ppl! i shaved my head. im kinda used to it now and plans to cut it even shorter the next time round.

i think thats about it roughly... i know, what an update huh.
i've been twittering A LOT so thats like an update. rite? rite?
yeahhhhhhhh.. dont know what else is there.
oh, looking forward for this weekend though. *rowdy rowdy*

peace uuowt! (i meant that spelling, say it loud!)

Eat this !!

Eduardo's ban overturned !

The UEFA Appeals Body today accepted the appeal lodged by Arsenal FC against the two-match suspension handed to striker Eduardo.

'Not established'
Following examination of all the evidence, notably the declarations of both the referee and the referees' assessor, as well as the various video footage, it was not established to the panel's satisfaction that the referee had been deceived in taking his decision on the penalty.

Decision annulled
Therefore, the decision of the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body of 1 September, in which the player was suspended for two UEFA club competition matches, is annulled.

he scores it! *'shhh celebration'*

now then, we sure learned our lesson ey boys.. no more diving! Haha
i gotta stop these football posts.
its like a football forum, and oouh we dont want that now do we....

on the front pages this week...

PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1

"I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time,"
AND...

OOPS. WRONG ONE. OH, HERE WE GO.

forget Cashley, here's a new one.
stamping an ex-colleague and confronting opposition fans who have big hatred for you isnt a bright idea, captain obvious.
and innocent stewards knocked right in the middle in the process.

and you dont know what you did wrong ?
a-ha.. nice one champ!

maybe there's another side to the story but to hell with it.

and i came across these. Haha.

Sometime Around Midnight

And it starts...
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when
You lose yourself
For a minute or two

As you stand...
Under the barlights
And the band plays some song
About forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack
To her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
You haven't seen her
For a while

But you know...
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a cross
The room suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there's a change...
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
Like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless
And lost in the haze
Of the wine

And she leaves...
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling
Your stomach in ropes
And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost

And you walk...
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice
That everyone is staring at you
And you so care what you look like
The world is falling
Around you

You just have to see her


And you know that she'll break you
In two

the lyrics is as straight forward as it can get
with a nice tune to it, its a crime not to like it.
i love it!

----

still in uni ; posting this as we speak.
i really need a good weekend but with money running short so fast and im getting sick by the day, i try not to be hopeful

and i've been trying to search for new bands so desperately because i am sick of my playlist (even if its made out of at least 2700 songs if not more)

i came across this and i fell in love with it straight away. and i love the phone conversations playing in the background. its so cute ; i cant help but smile.

i cant stop with the song updates, really.

this has to stop. period.

this is a response to John Terry as well as others. (i forgot to mention this)
it has been (and still is) the HOT topic in the football world about DIVING.
all of a sudden the spotlight is on Eduardo for diving and winning the penalty against Celtic.

well here's some vids to widen your knowledge, kids!

enjoy :)








a wider perspective on the world of football.
stop diving Richmond !!
you truly deserved the RED CARD
the 4th official have to drag him out for bad discipline.
1 match suspension !

food for thought

first off,
Happy Birthday again Serena and thank you for that wonderful dinner!


a little humor. funny yet logical, this one.




will post more updates soon soon soon.. too much work too little time.

we've got some catching up to do...

ahoy there...
i havent been updating much.
but i think thats how its gonna be now.
im just too lazy / busy to i guess.

as you know (or NOT)
went to The All-American Rejects/Hoobastank concert a few days ago.
and lets not forget the local act "The Sundance Kids". they'r pretty good.

it didnt struck me till i was there at the venue that im on a AAR/Hoobastank concert.
both these bands i grew up with during my early high school days.


yeh.. so this concert was quite.... *insert word here*
no, i DONT have pictures. sadly
but the concert was AWESOME.
but i will post this vid from The Sundance Kids just because they're equally awesome
album's out on 4th September!




yes i posted the ACOUSTIC version.
oh, since we're there,
Colbie Caillat's album is out today! cant wait to check it out


ooh, before the concert, i twisted my ankle. i dont really know how i did it but i heard a 'cruck' sound so it was a scare!
its kinda a bummer but im recovering. slowly and painfully.

what else is there...?
ooh, i have to say something about Arsenal (pardon me)
hope the run continues and this weekend would be an early test against, yeap, you guessed it. MAN UTD


and with that i leave you with these INTERESTING movie trailers.
you heard it here first!

Inception. Christopher Nolan. should be good.



im excited about THIS ONE....
but i cant get it out of youtube because of some rights!

check out WOLFMAN

casts are awesome; Anthony Hopkins, Benicio Del Toro, Hugo Weaving

acoustics

i would've posted the original version of the song but the acoustic one is way way better to my liking..
lately i've been listening to JUST acoustic songs.
soothes my soul for some reason.

isnt this refreshing?

its been a while folks..
sorry for the lack of updates.

but like i said,
who needs a blog update if u have that TWEET box right there ->

yeh..
internet at home is as down as a black hawk down for a while now.. Haha. what?

will post some updates soon
and i've been having too much fun i forgot that there's heaps and heaps of work to be done.
slowly and quietly they kept stacking on the table.

i am scared~

and did you know Arsenal started the season with a 6-1 win ?
yeah. hopefully *fingers crossed* its consistant
they wrote us off before the start of the season and suddenly we are title contenders? ppfft~


i leave you with this fav quote of the week for me,

"City's Cash Won't Buy Gunner's Flash"

another one bites the dust

how convenient that im blogging about another Arsenal player not long after my previous post below.

this time is Kolo Toure
i am not going to say much.
but we appreciate your contribution to the Gunners,
you were a part of the Invincibles,
win trophies with us throughout the years,

here's a thought...

Toure's exit spells the end of the 'Invincibles' unbeaten for 49 games during our 03'-04' season.
the rest of the 'Invincibles' include..

Jens Lehmann : Stuttgart
Lauren : Portsmouth (or now a free agent?)
Sol Campbell : Portsmouth
Kolo Toure : Man City
Ashley Cole : Chelsea
Robert Pires : Villarreal
Gilberto Silva : Panathanaikos .. ?
Patrick Viera : Inter Milan
Freddie Ljungberg : was West Ham. now somewhere in America ? doing Calvin Klein underwear products?
Dennis Bergkamp : retires 2006
Thierry Henry : Barcelona



just a waste to see greed over passion.
the whole English Premier League literally changed
after foreign investors starts to get their dirty noses in.

and its just plain disgusting to see such a beautiful game gets 'manipulated' like this.
although we've got more interest in football... but not this way!

oh well...
i cant wait the the season to start...
its going to be interesting...

in the mean time,
i am sick as a catdogcowchickenboomboompow!
fingers crossed i will recover by friday (with my submissions handed in!)



ponder on mr Wenger, sir
you've got 40 mils to spend (not including the possible transfer of Eboue)
we need experience more than anything!
defenders preferably !

and hey, Huntelaar is within grasp!

why blog?

when you have a daily (or dare i say hour) twitter update? (see right column)
dont worry, there will STILL be updates (but i doubt anyone reads it anyhoo)

in case you haven't heard,
ADEBAYOR goes takADElagiBAibaiYOR



all the best in the richest club in the world which i dont think Mark Hughes could possibly manage...
thanks for the goals and memories (particularly the Dance!)


another one bites the dust ....
Wenger pls sign someone with experience !
and pls spend at least half the $25 mil that you have and pissoff your policy?

with that said...
im stuck with a small space to design an office+apartment building.
i am s-s-s-scared :s


this sem is gonna be a bitch!

The Story in Sarawak (language)...

as requested, here it is...
BM version is on Kelvin's blog if anyone fails to understand it...

and it got a little cheesy..
but thats hollywood eh?

non stop spec-action metal grinding bullet flying laser firing megan foxing-tacular
although i thought Megan Foxx isnt that 'distracting'
i dont actually know why?
but i'd still tap that! hahaha


word

Fare the Well ...

The King of Pop ...

Micheal Jackson

not much needed to be said...
oh, the irony ..
everybody wants to be you, but you wanted to be someone else..

thanks for the moonwalks, the 'cock-grab shouts' and air guitars...
and lets not forget the records...


probably a little conspiracy theory around his death..?

i cannot resist your call...

Leaving reason far behind 
Nothing here is cruel or kind 
Only your desire to set me free…
Let us lie here all alone 
Worn away like river stone 
Let us be the sirens of the sea
