the pain and heartaches...

I have no idea why, but somehow any sports team that i support are somewhat jinx... and somehow.. inconsistent...

If you have not known the teams.. its Miami Heat for the NBA and of course Liverpool for football!

Lets start off with liverpool... any football watcher will know that to support liverpool is one of the biggest stress one can ever have in their life... Reason for this is... we usually dominate games.. usually have the most possesion and the most chances... and we usually fail to score... the opposition, on the other hand... will have 1 or 2 attempt on goal.. and there you have it.. the scoreline will be 1-0.. with liverpool losing...

Sure.. im not sayin that we are that shit.. we are playin well this season.. winning 4-0, 8-0 and stuff like that.. which is pretty cool cause usually liverpool's scoreline will always be 1-0 or 0-1... so yeah.. we are scoring.. but its games like the one last week, liverpool vs man utd that reminded me of why it is so stressful to support liverpool...

As for miami heat... man.. this one im totally lost for words.. they are past their glory days.. gone were the days where i used to laugh at fang.. and after that asking him to put money on miami... how i won 100 dollars couz miami won the championship! hahahah.. those were the days..

No offence.. i still think d-wade is still the best player in the nba right now.. just think that the rest of the team is pretty much shit.. as im typing this very word right now.. the miami heat has just lost another game to new jersey nets.. their 3rd game in a row... 2nd OT lost in a row back to back.. man.. i give up...

Thats why... as for liverpool.. dont worry.. im not leavin you!! i still have faith in you and will continue supporting you.. as for the heat.... go screw yourself.. phoenix suns here i come!!!

ps.. at least im not jumpin on board the celtics bandwagon like most people!!!

pps.. i still support d-wade and i still think he is the best player.. but.. not the team... not the team

Years of hard work... all for 10 seconds of fame...

As you all know... its graduation season.. well.. its graduation season for most of my IH friends who came in the same year as me... some have to stay a bit longer as they are doing longer degrees but generally.. its graduation time...

Wanted to call kenny and kai the other day to congratulate them.. but didnt know what time to call since KENNY DID NOT REPLY MY MSG.. still was quite fun chatting with them on msn through kenny's phone and to find out theres a guy in University of Melbourne.. or used to be since he graduated already.. by the name of Fu La Qi Bai ( think that was the spelling).. wth man.. if you dont know where im going with this... it sorta sounds like full of cibai or full la cibai, the latter being a sentence you will use to scold people who are forcing food down your tummy!!!

imagine a conversation like this (during a dinner conversation filled with ppl whom you met for the first time):

random person: eh.. have the last 2 pieces of chicken la.. so sayang to waste! think about the lil kids in *insert 4th world country of choice here*! btw, whats your name again.. forgot already

Fu La Qi Bai: Fu La Qi Bai.. really full already dun want to eat la, you take it la!

The artsy peeps graduation was just then... called up char and ying yi to congratulate them but couldnt get through to carmen or jeannie.. will try calin em later again to see whether can o not... And to find out that char graduated with a double degree in media and comm/commerce... haha.. char being a commerce student.. as if man.. as if!

ps. No she is not a commerce student.. just some error in the prints of the leaflet.. the peace of the world is restored once again!!

Think some of the commerce peeps are comin up on wednesday, daniel veron and cc.. dont know about keehong.. think he is the loner. hahaha!! go Klang mali.. haha

Makes me wonder.. technically, if i did study when i was in melb.. i would be graduating now as well! though itd be rather sad not to graduate with anyone that i know since i was doing IS and i was the only one in IH doing IS.. then again.. technically, if i graduated now.. it would mean that i actually attended classes and did my work/group work... thus i would have known people in my course.. thus i wouldnt be a loner...hmm.. interesting..

Sadness man.. everyone graduated d.. and i still have to wait till june 2009 *fingers crossed* to graduate.. ah well. at least i know ill be happy with the degree ill be getting then, at least i know my chances of geting a job with a business management degrees is higher than an IS degree...

Finally, at least i know that ill be able to get one of those graduation hats and throw it up in the air!!! though, trusting the weather there, itll be super windy, raining and such, so that my spiked up hair wil all be messed up and wet, my hat wil fly to some random place with no hope of recovering it ever again.... hmmm...

Ah well.. at least i still get a hat to throw....

ps. im trying to convince myself that the 2 extra years are worth it!!!

utterly broke... no thanks to a certain someone... hahha(wonders who)

very weird holiday im havin so far... have only gone out once.. 1 time.. to meet a friend.. and even then.. that was my neighbour.. haha.. still pretty sick so ive just been bummin at home.. restin and hopin that ill get better soon.. but it really doesnt look like it as ive been like this for the past 3 days...

haven drank a drop of alchohol.. havent been to 1u... or any shoppin centre for that matter.. haven been to laundry bar.. havent played basketball.. or golf... havent done anything.. come to think of it.. i think ive just wasted 3 full days!!!

Everyone is out and im stuck at home.. mum and 2 sis went shoppin... i wanna go shoppin too.. but im sick.. even more so.. im broke...

Mum always scolds me when i use the word broke in a money context... of course she wouldnt scold me if i said something like "i broke my knuckle" but she will if i say that im broke.. money wise...

But rite now.. that is exactly the situation im in.. would think that even if i went shoppin.. i cant buy anything.. just blew away like..RM 1900 yesterday buyin stuff online...

As for what i bought.. haha.. here comes the fun part..

I know i had a poll a while ago.. and majority was for PS3.. but nah la.. have to be practical.. the fact that i dont have money already.. and no one is sponsorin any of my gifts anymore.. that went out the window.. so whats left was the 'more practical items', items that isnt really a necesity, its something i want.. but i see it more of a necesity than the others...

Introducing.. firstly... the lomo LCA


Been wanting one of these babies for a long time.. and now.. its a done deal.. just have to wait for it.. and.. off i go.. well. have to figure out how to use it but that shouldnt be that hard.. reason for this being the top priority is because im plannin to travel to spain, holland and austria during the easter break and i wanna take lots and lots of photos.. and thats where the lomo comes into play!

This is how money-less i am.. couldnt even get a decent set.. had to settle for the most simple set... without any extra stuff like.. fish eye lens, wide angle lens and all. sadness sia... ah well.. still better than nothing...

And lastly.. the ipod nano ...

Got the red one since a part of the money will be for charity.. to the HIV charity fund i think

Had to downgrade from getting the ipod touch to the nano cause cant afford the touch by myself.. but ..ah well. its still an ipod.. cant complain.. and finally i can rock my tunes on the go.. happiness!!!

The expense of this.. had to return the coat and the trench that i bought from gap in order to afford anything.. ah well. one of those things.. fashion can wait.. technology cant...hahhaa

Now its a matter of waiting for the goods to come.. cant wait to start taking photos. cant wait.. even more so.. cant wait to fully recover to start going out and meeting with friends.. think ill be meetin up with wooby, sze lyn and stephanie ting on friday or wednesday nite.. then.. def wanna meet up with viv, sarah, izz (the johnie's) for mojitos at laundry.. the rest.. dont know man.. think i reli need to study this hols... as i have 2 assignments first week back.. lets see how..

6 panadols, 4 vitamin C's, 4 nurofen's, 6 herbal immunes, 3 ural powder thing within the last 24 hours and counting...

Am sick... think im down with fever.. sore throat.. the whole lot... The only reason i can think off was i slept in my dads room the night b4... yeah.. i usually sleep with my dad when im back.. mum sleeps in my room.. NO.. its not because of what you are thinkin right now, its cause my dads loves sleepin in a FREEZIN COLD room and my mom hates it.. so she sends me over instead...

So this is my dads room, NEW high powered air con set at 9 degrees if im not mistaken.. not only that.. dad recently bought a standing fan.. and he turns it on full blast blowin at his direction.. FREAKIN COLD I SWEAR... so yeah..last 2 nites havent had any sleep at all cause its way way way too cold for me man....... i do like sleepin with the aircon on but.. not his way of doing it man.. way too cold...

Nevertheless, hate being sick right now.. but i compiled a pros and cons argument list of being sick...

PROS
- I dont have to wake up at 745am in the morning
- Or be downstairs waiting by 8am
- I dont have to go for brekkie with dad
- Thus not havin to listen to his lectures
- I can sleep during the day ( family usually dont allow)
- I can just about ask for anything i want to eat


Cons
- Wont be able to go out with friends
- Thus wont be able to go to LAUNDRY for MOJITOS
- all these random pains im feeling
- all this random medication
- bad bad headache
- That led me to believe it was Amanda's b day as it was stated on facebook
- Even though her b day has past and i called her from UK to wish her happy birthday then
- Still cant think straight enuff
- And called her again to wish her happy birthday even though it wasnt her birthday...
- Woudnt be laughed at by her for making such a stupid mistake..
- Wouldnt have such bad memory
- Lost of appetite for food
- Even when i have appetite, so many things i cant eat as i have a bad sore throat
- Wont have to sleep in the hall as my family dont want me to spread my sickness
- Wont have to sleep on a HARD ass floor
- Wont have to wake up at 3am in the morning because i cant sleep anymore... to be so bored to the point i had to take out my laptop, turn it on and go on a rant like what im doing right now...

Ps. xin yu aka monash and mabel ho... i am no STALKER

for those who havent heard the song please dont stop the music by rihanna.. its the 2nd song on my playlist right now... give it a go.. i think its a pretty cool beat but im sure its not a song everyone will like.. after all.. its rihanna.. the person who came up with ella..ella...ella eh..eh eh.. under my umbrellaaaaaaa..

Well.. for this song.. its a bit diff.. as it is

ma ma say ma ma sa ma ma coo sa
ma ma say ma ma sa ma ma coo sa
(repeat as many times as you want)

Ps.. thus this is the reason why its not the first song on my playlist as i feel that not everyone wil like it and for those who wont.. you will get annoyed by it really really quick.. and yeah.. haha

bad luck... and a bit of randomness

Swear my luck is cutting short of itself lately.. first it was the dislocated finger.. then.. the other day when i was rushing to catch the train to london..i slipped on the stairs and fell.. pretty badly.. on laptop bag.. think i hurt my right ankle pretty badly as well. couldnt walk well for the next 2 days but its better now.. not only that.. think i damaged my camera and laptop as i really fell on it.. and knowin how heavy i am.. the padding on my bag is definitely not enuff.. ooh. did i mention that i missed the train and had to wait for an hour and a half b4 the next one while my right ankle was in pain. and also the fact that i was so tired as i was packin all my stuff the nite b4...

Not only that.. went to london.. arrived paddington station and i needed to take the underground to my sis place so i had to get tickets.. the lines were long as... lined up.. waited for like..10 to 15 minutes.. and just when it was the girls turn in front of me.. the machine breaks down.. so i had to move to another line and wait again.. whilst waiting at the other line.. after like..3 or 4 minutes.. the machine at my previous line starts working again.. but b4 i noticed it.. there was a queue there already..... Did i also mention that i saw a pair of casual shoes at zara that i fancied but i didnt wanna try on the shoes that day as my feet hurt ( and most probably it was stinky as well).. so i thought on going back to the same zara 2 days later ( the day was flying off).. went in there.. and couldnt find the shoe.. they took it off already ( did you know that zara replaces clothes every 2 weeks..amazing stuff)... So yeah.. quite a list of bad luck happenings eh...

On to the random note... Quite weird and funny depending on how you wanna look at it. the last time i was in melb.. to say farewell and stuff. the nite i arrived.. i went for supper with maylin, joe, charmaine and one of maylin's friend that was visiting from malaysia ( who studies in LSE ).. though i didnt chat much with her.. we talked about uk and stuff. and i told her i was going to study there. and she offered to show me around whenever i was in london..

At first i thought it was all part and parcel of courtesy stuff lor.. like... say only but it wont happen... but i thought.. since im in london.. nothing to do.. mar i just msg her on facebook ask whether she wanna go for a cuppa.. and she said yes.. was kinda shocked.. ( no it was not a date.. just didnt have anything to do so i thought itll be cool to meet someone and chat using my malaysian accent instead of my fake british accent that i have not mastered)..

After seeing her facebook msg.. sayin that she was free to meet up.. i was actually a bit nervous lor.. like. i was thinking to myself.. man.. i dont even know her.. and i thought she was gonna say no... and now i dont know how its going to be.. like.. awkward no?

Anyhows.. decided to go in the end. met up with her .. had dinner with her.. and it wasnt awkward surprisingly.. nice person.. smart person (LSE), and yeah.. no awkwardness at all...

PS.. no i do not like her and i did not treat it as a date... it was a MEET UP!!!

So yeah.. thought that was pretty random but it was fun.. finally have a malaysian friend in UK..

Jet lag..

Finally home in malaysia... havent quite experienced the heat yet as i arived in the evening and the sun was already down by then.. but im sure its coming in just hours from now as its 7am in the morning now and the sun seems to be comin up as im typing this..

Flight was alrite apart from this annoyin guy next to me.. who didnt feel like going to the toilet the whole flight ( i was sitting on the aisle) until the air stewardess decides to serve food... made it even harder for me to let him get pass me couz i need to take my tray.. grab the earphones and the remote thingi..

Wanted to watch some movies on the flight..but.. somehow i didnt.. haha. ended up to listening songs.. same songs over and over again. by now you should all know. when im stuck to a song. or an album.. i just keep replayin it. and thankfully enuff.. the album im stuck to right now was there.. Lifehouse: who we are.. go get it if you havent gotten it.. really good album i have to say...

Also.. anyone of you heard of.. dont stop the music by rihanna... absolutely marvelous.. absolutely.. i can imagine myself at a club.. waiting for that song to come up.. and i havent felt that way in a long long time.. i think the last song that i was really pumped up was 1, 2 step by ciara or ride with you by joe & G unit.. i guess ne-yo songs also has the same effect..but not as much as this. its an awesome song.. go listen to it. awesome stuff. actually watched the music vid a while ago..but it was only the ending to it.. so it was the first time listening to the whole song.. and now im hooked..

Absolutely jet lagged.. weird. couz im usually not jet lagged at all if its australia.. but.. man..8 hours diff is a long long time.. and i guess it didnt help with the fact that i was trying to stay awake till 3:30am to watch liverpool's critical game against marseille.. turned out it wasnt that critical after all..

Good game by liverpool i say.. 4-0 away to marseille is not bad at all.. the played really well.. torres was awesome.. and gerard played like a captain should play.. really happy with the performance.. At the start of the game.. i saw gerard chatting with the ref after the coin toss and .. something looked odd... can you spot whats missing..

Thought he played really well.. good on ya torres...

Carlsberg.... (pretty sure thats how its spelled) yeah. for some unknown reason they didnt have it there.. at first i thought. they ban alchohol advertising. but this is france okay.. everyone in france drinks.. everyone i mean... why would they ban it..? hmm. dont get it.. anyways.. im off to bed.. its 7 something in the morning.. so damn tired

PS.. this was actually written at 7 something in the morning but just when i decided to post it my house electricity got cut.. damn TNB.. not only did i not go to sleep couz its so so hot then.. my dad took me and my sis out for brekkie followed by going to the new house which is still in construction... lectured us about the house for hours.. just got back, had a shower and had lunch, and its already 2 something.. argh... and now its really time to go to bed.. will update when i wake up later..ta

Ivan Koumaev... Alison Holker...

Firstly, i would like to say thanks.. thanks big time.. to Daniel Lim Tian Ming (pretty sure i spelled it right) for helping me with the chatterbox thing.. now if only he can find a way to put my music player back up on the top middle part instead of the top left...

As you all may notice.. i got the chatter box thing.. hahaa. just thought of adding it and see how that goes.. thought it may be cool.. but of course.. it would be rather embarasing if no one says anything in it.. haha.. damn paiseh lor.. and according to daniel.. im meant to write about something really controversial then ill get heaps of ppl commenting and all. but.. shit.. i really cant think of any controversial topics...

Also just realised the other day why i havent got any comments for so long *snob snob* couz my loyal commenters were all in tassie.. hahhaa.. sadness.. ah well. one of those things.. not that i care too much about comments but.. itll be fun i guess..

Moving along.. was you tubing as usual.. and found some interesting vids of IVAN KOUMAEV.. for those who doesnt know who he is.. he is my fav...fav dancer on sytycd.. in all seasons.... MY FAV.. love his style.. dont think anyone else has his style.. maybe a lil from hok and dom.. but. nah man.. ivan is on a whole new level...

So yeah.. here are some vidz of him.. when he was at NYCDA (new york city dance alliance i think), which a lot of the sytycd ppl attend b4 trying out for sytycd.. i think ivan is the only one whos attempting it after sytycd.. unlike.. alison, jamie, danny, travis etc.

Just realised that my fav girls on sytycd always get kicked out in the top 8... Alison(my fav female dancer and also would have been my future wife if it wasnt for the rule that i cant date white girls) .. absolute shock.. i swear she was the best girl dancer.. much better than natalie.. heidi and donyelle.. man.. anyone is better than donyelle.. so pissed off when she got kicked out.. sad. sad (just check out the vids below and you will know why.. will post more vidz of her next time.. but just by seeing the vidz below you will know why i think shes the best..not think.. i know shes the best)

As for this year.. by right my fav dancer was jessi peralta but she got kicked out for some controversial thing.. So my next fav female dancer was Sara...aka miss Von.. and she got kicked out in the top 8... hmm.. think i should watch season one and see whether my fav female gets kicked out in the top 8 as well.. that would mean there is a positive corelation!! haha and the female i support next season will get kicked out in the top 8 as well.. and not win.. now thats just not fair...

Anyhows..without further rants and interruptions.. have fun with the vidz....

ps.. there is gonna be a lot of vids.. so yeah. up to you.. but if you are into dance.. or have ridiculous amounts of quota.. then watch it.. most of you are on holidays and are procrastinating anyways...

Ivan and Allison - hip hop dance.. their last dance together on sytycd (sexy love by ne-yo)


Ivan and Allison teaching dance on NYCDA (really catchy and nice routine id say, Pattie Labelle- dan swit me)

Ivan solo on NYCDA(ne-yo because of you)


Ivan solo on NYCDA

Can you feel it...

I have no recollection whatsoever on how i stumbled upon this vid on youtube.. just somehow did.. Everyone knows who the jackson 5 is? thought ppl would know but .. just in case you dont.. it was formerly michael jackson's band? Thats actually how he got famous.. the jackson family was quite famous back then.. where michael and his 4 other siblings were known as the jackson 5(latoya and janet werent in, and jermain..the eldest brother went solo) I actually think there was one more person who took over michael's spot when he went solo.. not too sure.. read it on wikipedia.. go check it out if you're curious...

What im trying to get at here b4 i totally miss the point.. was that.. i was watching the vid.. and. wow.. they were pretty famous.. the fact that i could recognise.. 4 or 5 of their songs.. good stuff.. good songs.. its the old school disco...r&b.. it wat started it all for black r&b in all honesty.. And.. its very different.. its the innocent type of r&b.. funny and at times lame stupid lyrics..but the beat.. the BEAT was there.. the tune was there and the soul was there.. def worth checking it out if you are interested...

This vid was on a reunion concert thing 6 years ago.. some 30 years later if im not mistaken.. 30 years anniversary thing.. And.. have to say.. for ppl in their 40's and 50's.. they can still perform man... not bad.. and.. the songs are good.. i really liked it.. and you can see the crowd. the love it...

The biggest thing i love about it is that its ... different from the songs today.. or.. the concerts today.. its just different.. Not once on that concert do you see sexy girls wearing skimpy clothes dancing on poles... the artiste having to change outfit every 10 seconds.. fancy props/settings(eg.. jungle theme for britney spear's im a slave for you if im not mistaken) , no random gimmicks like getting hundreds of school girls on the stage dancing ( i think TATU ~ yes the lesbian girls... i think they did that). Its just pure voice.. music.. simple dancing... and its good entertainment...

Im not saying that modern concerts are shit.. man.. i love usher..chris brown..ne-yo(though i doubt ill like him in concert couz he doesnt dance well). And of course.. i love their concerts filled with hot dancers etc.. but.. i think... as for the vid that i saw of jackson 5.. its just different.. and i respect them even more as they dont have all this props to work witih. no dancers.. its just them.. its just the music.. the beat.. the soul... and they still put on a great show...Enjoy...

ps... pls be aware that the vid last 9 minutes long.. thus if you do not have quota.. dont go for it.. hahaha as much as its good.. some of you might not appreciate it as much as i do...

Also.. be patient.. if you dont like the starting.. just give a lil faith and watch the whole thing... (no i wont refund you money if you dont like it in the end couz its youtube and its free)
