Here comes the action

I know, I know another uninformed blog hiatus. I’m sorry. It’s been 4 months since I last blogged. I’m more active on my Tumblr though. Check it out here. Though it’s mainly pictures since I’m generally lazy at writing stuff unless there is some motivation to do so. Finally done with my first year of degree. Time really passes so fast. Next year is going to be different. Now that I really think about it, I’m not sure if I can adjust to the fact that some of my friends and who’ve become close are leaving the country for studies. If only we don’t understand time.

A friend of mine posted this video claiming it to be super random, so naturally me loving randomness, checked it out and had my mind numbed at the first round that I had to watch it again…and laughed. Hit replay, and laughed even more. Perhaps of you may be offended, may even dislike it. So if you dislike randomness I suggest you go have some fries.

I present to you, ASDF.

You can’t deny it

AUGUST AUGUST AUGUST. I’ve only one word to describe though I know it has not ended but it is OVERWHELMING. I’ve never celebrated so many people’s birthday in a span of two weeks. And I think I’ve never celebrated so many friend’s birthday in a year. My batch has a lot of August babies. I think there are about 10 people. I’m not sure either. The past two weeks I’ve not had dinner once at home. Glad that I now can. Since it’s been about birthdays, birthday and birthdays and outings, I’ll just let the pics talk.

Next post, my face-off with the habanero chilli…

A hair’s length away

Finally back in KL again. And…I made to the FINALS of UNPLUGGED! Which was totally unexpected. So unexpected that when interviewed for my lineup next week I just blurted what I didn’t know. So now I have to do some homework so I can deliver what I promised. Meh. On a side note, the progress of my short film doesn’t seem to go anywhere. I totally forgot to include the word ‘imagine’ in the movie. I’m actually mulling a re-shoot. Maybe not.

I can’t wait to jam when my friends come back. I’ve got some new tunes created with my GT-8. I just want to experiment, experiment and experiment. Uni’s just around the corner. As of now I’m feeling pretty neutral. But I am sort of excited to see what will transpire in the next sem. Wakakaka. At the same time, the thought of friends leaving is like a gloomy phantom on my back.

I’m such a sucker when it comes to grocery shopping. I spent unreserved. I see this, it looks good, I take it. I spent more on food than on clothes. But I’ve always love food, always will. Ok, I shall disclose one item I bought. Mercer’s Wine Ice Cream (Ala Port) – RM30. Ok you can take out your throwing knives now.

I’ve been looking into old bands namely, The Hansons and The Moffatts. It’s kinda funny watching it now but just listening is a sweet reminiscence of younger days.

While browsing, the Justin Biebers then I found this

Now that’s a cool video.

Last time I checked I was a dwarf

I just realized how much I miss home.  I wish I could stay longer. Anyways, this month has been quite a busy one. At least I believe I’ve kept myself occupied. I’m been doing gigs and participating a short film competition organized by my university. The film now is in the process of editing and it hit me that, it’s more complicated than I expected. The narration come up short and now I have to figure a way to lengthen it. On top of that, I totally miss out one of the requirement of the competition which is to include the word ‘imagine’ throughout the film.

I feel productive and I feel good. I’m realizing the things I want to do. I hope the film turns out well. To you peeps, don’t worry, I’ll upload it online for your viewing pleasure or not

This Sunday I’ll be competing at ACTS Church’s Unplugged and I’ve prepared a piece for the show and I’m excited to show it. I was offered the opportunity to be the featured artist at Laila’s and that means pitis. Sadly, I deported myself.

I can’t wait to perform as band since I’m gonna bring my electric and my baby GT-8!

the world’s a joke when out of love.

Capturing you and that

Hi you all, I’ve finally set up a photoblog with which I plan to exhibit my pursue in photography. So you out there, show some love and support by dropping by my blog, leave a comment or two, like it or hate it whichever makes you happy.

I’ll be waiting.

Vertigo

Just about two weeks ago, I lost a friend to a tragic car accident. Four of his other family member lost their lives that day too. I witness you, Joash living a great life. A life I know our God delights tremendously in. God, I thank you for Joash. We may not know each other long, but You’ve used him to touch my life.

It’s funny how we walk on the earth yet you live down under,

You left us with dirt in our hands, tears in our eyes,

The mechanical sound of shovels digging into the earth with the gentle aria of Amazing Grace blending in,

Man, burying another man.

Life is short. Shakespeare said it well,

Life is but a brief’s candle.

Zombie at dawn

Awake now and awaiting Kent to pick me up along with the other for a day trip/food trip to Malacca. The semester’s finally over. And now I can finally put my legs up a bit and finally visit other parts of Malaysia. I’m excited. Will definitely write a post when I come back.

On a side note, if you love folk music, I recommend you Noah and the Whale. They remind me of Fleet Foxes.

Note: This post is an old draft that I was suppose to upload few weeks ago. I’ve finally managed to upload the photos.

People who think assignment based course is cool. Let me tell you it’s not. It’s like a never ending thing. Week after week trying to complete the work before the deadline. I’ve been so busy that when my birthday was around the corner, I couldn’t bring myself to feel excited. The week was filled with deadlines and one of it was on my birthday. However I tried my best to allow myself to enjoy the day. A day that eventually marked itself as a one of the most beautiful moments in my life. Also my best birthday party ever.

So I was at Uni, receiving wishes and gifts and all. It was nice despite rushing to print out my paper for submission. I didn’t had any plans with my friends as I was too engrossed to plan for lunch or dinner prior to that day. However I had dinner plans with my sister but was postponed the next day so I decided to ask everyone if they would be free for dinner. Most of them couldn’t make it and I understood their reason as we all had a 2000 word paper to submit on Friday and it was a last minute thing. But I managed to get Sean and Lyon for dinner with me. We marked Tony Romas as the place to celebrate. We were the three musketeers.

At Sunway, I gave a call to Shiori who was there with Syaza if they would be interested to join us for dinner after their movie. So that’s five for dinner. Sean wanted to buy some stuff so we followed him to the Under Shop where he asked me helped to choose boxers for his friend. Later I found that Shiori and Syaza was already at Tony Roma waiting. I followed Lyon who was supposed to meet his aunt to collect something at TGIF’s while Sean went to the loo. He then persuaded me to go inside with him giving a lame excuse he was afraid of her. But what does that got to do with me? I was reluctant but eventually gave in when he mentioned Sean was inside. I followed him though still puzzled why Sean as inside. He led me towards the back and as the back dining area came into view, I saw someone crouching under table who looked like JT but as I was trying to convince myself it was kid, a unanimous shout of ‘SURPRISE!!!” shocked me. Everyone popped out from behind dividers and under the tables and sang birthday song while I stood confounded yet deeply moved by the event. Perhaps if I had more female genes in me I would have broke into tears. I would’ve never thought of a surprise party. The most I expected was a surprise cake with just my group but a party with almost everyone. Flabbergasted I was. Turned out the mastermind was none other but Sean aka Enrique Arroyo. He had the whole thing planned few days before. He got everyone to turn me down and all that. Of all the people, I would never thought he would’ve pulled it off since he always do not want to take the responsibility of organizing things. Cheers to you bro.

Overall, my birthday turned out to be what it’s suppose to be, a day to celebrate and be happy that I was born though I had to parade around with a tiger print underwear. A good company is the best gift on birthday. Everyone did just that. Thank you all

i was forced to wear a tiger print briefs

By the way did I mention the boxers I was helping Sean choose was actually for myself? Plus, I had a cabbage as birthday present. Now how much cooler can your presents be?

On a side note, check out Wolframalpha a site introduced by one of my lecturer. Enter your birthdate and you’ll find almost every detail the day you were born well not almost but things such as the phase of the moon etc…

you were born the day Dr. Seuss died.

Let the lamps shine

I’ve been finish my birthday post but uploading pics seems to take forever. Patience out the window, I’ll just update what’s been going on lately in this post.

Just came back from Got Talent or Not? Finals seeing Didgeridoo Fire Dance (DFD) as the champion with JuanoPhobia @ The Library. DFD really stole the show with their blazing choreography. The last time I saw a fire dance was in Langkawi at a Reggae like bar. JuanaPhobia was good with the big band style but I suppose like many, perhaps they could find a stronger vocalist. Both are of deft own leagues and it was almost refreshing to see non-band/musical act won (though DFD was both fire dance with a band).

JuanoPhobia avid fan base

DFD in action

My desperate attempt to get a better shot

This a funny sight I saw when A Ruthless Cleansing, a metal band performed.

I assume they came to support JuanoPhobia and never expected to see such an act involving screaming and headbanging. At least the host did tell them to find something to stuff their eyes or leave.

moshing anyone?

the victor

A friend of mine, showed me a band I immediately fell in love with. FORGIVE DURDEN. If you like some thing that sounds animated, circus-sy and dynamic, Forgive Durden’s album Razia Shadow: A Musical is just the thing. With lively strings, idiosyncratic drum line and story weaved lyrics it’s something definitely worth listening to. Initial listening brought me to think of Panic at the Disco and guess what I found out? In their other songs, Brandon Urie is one of the many artists featured in the album. Each artist plays a character in the story. And I find that a really interesting.

Hit me with my eyes opened

Surprise. Love. Boxers. Steak. Company. Chocolate facial. Songs. Wishes. Hugs. Pictures. Naruto.

I’ll smile till it become permanent on my face.

I love you all.

Thank you so much!
