I LOBES IT!

ABP was boring. Everybody's outfit was hedious. Jokes were not funny. Thank god it finish early. No, I do not lobes it.

What i labsolutely lobes is that today, I found that the Georgia Nickolson and the Ace gang will be on the silver screens! I saw the poster right after I saw Awake (which by the way was great! everyone should watch it). The first book - "Angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging" is already in production and I saw the trailer on youtube.com. Can't wait for this one. More info read here

Oh yes, it's totally teenage angst meet Bridget Jones meet Adrian Mole. Sue me!

Sporting Weekend

It started with 12 hours shift on Friday night. Then (forgoing my sleep), a shower and a hunt for F1 parking tickets. RM50 and a nasi lemak later, I'm off to F1. Well... the qualifying session, at least. With a free granstand ticket, no less. Came equiped with bino, sun block, ear plug and an umbrella that will make Rihanna proud. All of which I forgot to bring and left in my friends car. I brought the umbrella though :)

We arrived just in time for the session. Sat right under the 5 illuminating starting (traffic) lights. Got a good view of the Ferrari pit... but not good enough to tell Massa and Kimi apart. 3pm sharp, Massa.. or was is Kimi went out on track... about the same time I realize my ear drums has a limit to loud noises! Mcm nak pecah telinga. Half way thru, I can't stand it... so I stood behind everybody and just watch the cars pass by. Thank you to the pesky usher who insisted that I take my seat, though I'm not blocking anyone. Several shots of empty track later, we had enough and decide to move it to the very important agenda of the day - hunting for team merchandises. Oh yeah!

Though it was a bit lemau, it was a fun outing. Thank god it did not rain. And thank you to the gadis- gadis litar, who provided us with few laughs. Ooooo... F1, also has Khemah Gagal! Malaysia Grand Prox 2008 was won by Kimi (borrrinnggg), 2nd place goes to BMW Sauber - Robert Kubica (YEAYYYYYYYY - I support the team of course) and 3rd place went to McLaren. Happy that my fav - Nick Heidfeld still finished within points.



Malam - wedding of my officemate. Pergi la sbb dah janji. It was great evening with loads of good music. Selamat Pengantin Baru, Bro.
Rupanya, AF 1st konsert - Jawa kegemaran menjadi judge. Lucky.. kalau tak dah sebakul lagi dosa aku pada dia sbb sure kena kutuk.
Sunday morning, marathon at Jalan TAR pulak. Dunno why suddenly inspired nak buat baju raya. A hunt for kain nak jadi baju kurung, tetiba bertukar menjadi ganas apabila aku terdiscover Globe Silk Store dah bukan Globe lagi. Dah jadi Sarah Hughes, selling some imported stuff. My mom would be sad. Ada a few branded goods that I found, entah betul ke tak.. beli je la sbb murah gila. And here comes, joke of the week, tetiba cashier tu terinspired pulak nak bagi kitaorg signature Sarah Hughes bag... which at first glance mcm beg kain perca nenek aku. I almost cried out, "what do you think you're doing???" tapi tak jadi sbb cashier tu mcm bangga gila bagi aku beg tu. Lama2 tgk tak la buruk sgt. Aku bagi kakak aku buat beg isi telekung.



And after all the media hypes, 9.25pm kick off at Old Trafford. Liverpool vs Manure. It was all good till the first yellow card. Meserano ( don't bother to spell the name correctly) started to annoy me. He keeps on asking for it... and I told Rafa (thru the TV screen), for goodness sake, take out this time bomb before he gets a red card. Ahhh... the moment I saw him, marching from the other end of the field, to give the ref another 'Fuck U', i knew it was ovahhh. Ovaahhhhhh. Rafa or Gerard should bitch slap him a bit, to provide us with some entertainment. Let's not even start with the Ref, coz he sure did pore cold water to the game. Thank you Ref for ruining it for all of us. I didn't watch the 2nd half, watched AF on youtube instead :)

11.25pm, kick off at Stamford Bridge. OH YEAH! Let's kick Van Persie around... and see if he'll get red carded for retaliation. Heheheheheh ... well.. someone scored for Arsenal... but I can't remember who. Who cares. All I remembered was Didier shots were superb! HELL YEAH! Too bad he wants to go to Barca and play footsie with Henry. Oh well, if he goes, I hope he takes Mikel with him... coz in my book, he's another time bomb. So will the Blues win EPL? Here's to wishing and hoping. It ain't ovah till it's ovah.

Next stop, Chelsea Vs Manure. When is it? 26th April? I hope I'm off that day. Till then, Blues Rules!

You know you're old when...

When, at a concert:
1. You would rather starve then buy the over-priced burger
2. You buy mineral water rather than Coke
3. You laughed at the guys selling t-shirts when they say " Rugi kak, tak beli, nanti orang tak tau akak pergi consert ni"
4. You stood still, while everyone around you jump around to the music.
5. You noticed how hot the weather is
6. You came late, but don't care that you miss some of the acts.
7. You believed that no matter how little the rain was, it will still hurt you
8. You realize that 12 hours is one heck of a long time!
9. You start seeing, not the celebrities that you adore, in the crowd, but instead it's their teenage kids
10. You know the meaning of Khemah Gagal!
11. You sleep o-so-peacefully thru out crazy pyros and crazy session of mengoreng on the electric guitars
12. You came to watch Search! Hidup Rock Kapak!
I came to realize this after surviving 2 outdoor concerts. The first one barely survive, sbb lepas tu demam terkejut satu hari! Belakangku serious mcm nak patah dua! Khemah Gagal tu... any khemah yg diduduki oleh org2 tua mcm aku. Rather than melompat2 terkinja... we just sat our ass and tak bergerak-gerak.
First stop HotFM Big Jam at PJ. Yang best - Hujan, Meet Uncle Hussain, (never thought I will say this) - Elyana, Jac and Lah, Ungu and tah sape2 lagi. Yang pasti, aku telah tidor dgn nyenyaknya masa lagu Farhana Puteri Bumi Kenyalang di Khemah Gagal!


Next, Sunburst kat Bukit Kiara. Memula tu tak nak pergi sgt tapi kakak aku menang tiket free plak. (Also tak sangka I will say this - but saya geng murai and terima kasih murai.com!). Unfortunately menang satu tiket aje. I got to know this when I was in Penang. So mana plak nak korek lagi satu ticket? On the consert day itself baru tergolek nak cari ticket. Got to know that rupanya ada package ticket sunburst with F1. Boley tak? Tapi dah habis. Sabo je la aku. Puas call satu KL termasuk press officer tah dari SIC ke Sunburst ke yang satu hapak pun tak tau. Macam nak menjejaki Joe Jambul ok. Last-last, we bought the other ticket at entrance of the concert dari nyonya yang mukanya masam mcm air limau kurang gula. Dah la baru menapak almost 1Km, nasib baik aku dah takde energy nak memaki hamun.

But its all good, sbb masuk-masuk aje. Gigi was performing! Panas pun panas la bang... but I get to see Arman Maulana, up close! "Kaulah yang dinginkan aku.. dari sadarku dari mimpiku oooo". (ada 2 je lagu yg aku tau.. lain2 masa nganga tgk Arman Maulana lompat2 atas stage).


Then we hop to another stage to catch Tompi. Truly apa kejad, kejad har. Tah lagu apa yang dinyanyikan.. haram tak sedap. I realized that it was My Girl rupanya. Disbbkan nyanyi tak sedap, HUJAN start turun. Everyone to Khemah Gagal! Yang masih gagah berani tu, temankan Pop Shuvit melalak dlm hujan. Darn it... next was Hujan... tapi hari dah hujan... mcm mana ni? Hujan played on in the rain, we stayed on in Khemah Gagal. Luckily, the rain sort of cool down, and everyone rush (ok aku je kot..) out to catch Hujan. Thank you Hujan for singing all of your songs that I do not know while it was raining. Sampai je depan stage, they started playing "Bila Aku Sudah Tiada". Then next song, "Pagi yg gelap, kini sudah terang... Yeay!!!!" As soon as they finish, hujan start balik... aku pun start my journey of 1000 steps back to the car. Balik rumah dulu, mkn and mandi. Nothing like berjalan dlm hujan, atas padang yg dah mcm sawah bendang! All in the name of music... ya right. (Pic below: Khemah Gagal, hari dah hujan)


Hari kelam nak hujan surrounding Khemah Gagal!
Malam check in balik around 10pm. Itu pun after searching high and low for parking spot. Akhirnya dgn langkah berani, aku double parked a few meters from the entrance. Kepada yg telah memaki hamun keretaku, kuampunkan seadanya. Hehehehehehhe. Masuk2 je, ada Chenelle... I waited for the only song that I know, "I fell in love with the DJ". Then off to Khemah Gagal semula, while waiting for John Legend. He sang for almost an hour, and I'm surprise that I know none of his song! Hahahahhahahahahahha. Lepas tu, if tgk schedule.. Search was supposed to perform.... suddenly the crowd went WILD coz it was Incubus on the stage. Yes, INCUBUS! Whoever went to Uni around the time that I did, this is pretty big deal! I LOBES IT. Well... the 3 songs that I know la of course... lagu2 lain, tu aku tgk si Brandon tu dah mcm high aje... They sang Drive, Wish You Were Here and Are You In? Of course KL was soooo INNNNNN.

Time check, dah pukul 2 pagi barulah kumpulan rock kapak ku muncul. By this time, we already drag the chairs out from Khemah Gagal and lepak under the stars and laser beams. Search sang about 5-6 songs, thru all of which I slept peacefully despite the bright lights and Hilary guitars. Bingit yang amat! Tapi tidurku sungguh nyenyak. I would recommend it... sekali sekala, lepas hujan when the nights are breezy and cool, tido la kat lawn chair korang. If takde lawn chair (maknanya takde lawn la tu), pergi la playground and sleep on the see-saw. Hahahahhaha. Back to Search. Abang rockers, saya hampa! Saya nak dengar Isabella ke Rozana ke Fantasia Bulan Madu ke. Saya berharap sangat kot-kot ada medley yang menyelitkan lagu Gadisku ke Gadis Misteri ke? Mintak maap lah sbb satu pun lagu yang abang jerit pekik seluruh jiwa raga tu, saya haram tak tau. So here, I'm making up the names of the songs as I hear them in my sleep:
1. Jerangkung Dalam Bekas Bawang
2. Puaka Tebing Sungai Klang
3. Cinta Rama-Rama Blackmetal
4. Sengsara Pawang Hitam
5. Entah apa-apa, janji ganas bunyinya
6. Payung Derhaka
Selamat malam la bang, eh selamat pagi dah. Sorry to Estranged, but we have to go. If we stay for another minute, aku akan bertukar menjadi Puaka Padang Kuda pulak dan menakutkan kuda2 kat dlm kandang yang sah2 dah tekanan perasaan sbb bising. You don't want that do you?

Wind of Change

-The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind -
(Wind of Change by Scorpions)

Wind of change did not just blow, it huff and puff everything away. Well almost.
The tribe has spoken. You have been voted off the island! (Pun very intended).
It was all quiet and membosankan till last night. Tu dia. We could hear Robin saying, "Holy Crap Election, Batman! KaPoWWw!
Inilah salah satu contoh situasi - menyesal taik sejamban.
So what happen? Here's my 2 cents berkarat worth of thots. I don't really read papers, browse political blogs, watch the news, listen to people campaigning or seen any party's manifestos.
1. We just want to improve more and more
It's the year 2008. 50 tahun dah merdeka. But why there's still places without electricity. People living in poverty. Kids having to walk miles to school.
2. We want real changes
Instead of kami telah bersiap sedia menghadapi banjir, when will be the day, kami berjaya menghalang banjir. For goodness sake, fix it!No wonder folks in Shah Alam voted for the ops. They can't be overhauling their cars every year man!
3. We are Malaysians, not citizen from other country
STOP it with.. rakyat malaysia patut bersyukur, kerana di negara lain.... harga minyak/belacan/kain dalam/tol/selipar jepun/bedak sejuk lagi mahal. Aku peduli apa. Why must we compare with other people? Then why can we compare with US per say, where car is just a couple of thousands instead of ribu raban?
4. Kami bukan tak sekolah
You provide us free education. You send us abroad to further our studies. Some even graduated magna cum laude from ivy Leagues. and yet you are expected us to take bull like makanlah tempe utk kulit licin? Yenadey! Dah 30 tahun aku mkn tempe... ada jugak jerawat!
5. Kami bukan buta
When you say you want things to be telus/tranparent/see thru whatever.... bersih suci murni terpuji... tetiba ada plak anak beranak yang dibiar membuat apa sesuka hati. camner tu?
6. Kita dah moden, not stucked in 1960s
The internet has inflitrated the middle class, upper class. Semua org bandar dah tak kuasa. There's a lot of stuff being said here. Did anyone bother to care? Or just dismiss em saying ni semua berangan aje. Macam mana. Information is everywhere. At the snap of fingers. You can't expect to strategize and think that peoples midset are like zaman dolu-dolu. New blood and new ideas are needed!
PADE DOH!
Kepada yg menang
1. Please jgn membazir masa dgn issue bodoh seperti menyanyi lagu negaraku tak betul/ police shouldn't do body cavity checks/ salah guna bahasa like bocor/ tanah haram.
2.Bila bersidang tu tolong la dtg and berbincang. Bukannya tido. Or gaduh2 mcm budak darjah satu or ala2 rempit pakai sut. Nanti kitaorg jugak seronok tgk kat youtube
3. Berusaha la utk rakyat ni ha... jangan 6 bulan sekali baru nak tgk kawasan. Tu pun tak nak turun dari kete.
4. Share the wealth. Susah senang bersama. Sharing is caring.
5. Jgn keluar lagi issue AP. Sbb rakyat hidup merana jugak if AP tu bagi 10 ke bagi 100 ke.
6. Boley tak bila aku tgh drive kat jln.. kau tak lalu dgn polis excort lepas tu halau2 aku ke tepi jalan? Aku pun nak pergi keje jugak. Aku pun menyumbang pada ekonomi negara.
7. Pendek kata, jangan lah nak perabih boreh je.
Kepada yg memilih yg menang
1. Stand by your choice. Jgn menyesal kemudian hari.
2. Tak payah nak jadi hooligan tgh jalan. Aku tgk tv. Aku tau sape yg menang. Tak payah nak tolong jerit2kan
3. Jangan la memaki hamun lepas ni kalau porthole depan rumah 4 tahun tak bertampal.
Kepada yg nganga
1. 4 years is a long time to get your shit together. IMPROVE. Go with times. Listen to people. Look around. BUkak mata.
2. Always look on your plus points, Jgn berkempen.. mereka sudah takut dgn kita... Yo! Kau bukan pontianak org nak takut2. Nak jadi zombie kampung pisang pun tak tentu lepas.
Kepada yg haram tak memilih
1. YO YO YO get funky!
Last but not least, I will definitely miss the wisdom of such as below:
- Jika tidak mau membayar tol, naik itu lumbu punya kereta
- Mintri tak payah tido ka?
- Salah dia hanyalah dia tidak memadam lampu
Akhir kata, APA KEJADAH, KEJADAH HARAM, HARAM BEJADAH kepada semua.
Selamat malam!

If I Ever

If I ever win a million,
What will I do first?
Shall I call the officeAnd tell em to go and F em
Or I just don't bother at all?

If I ever win a million,
Shall I buy a house or condo
Or both,
Or two of each, near a mall?

If I ever win a million,
Will I get a Maserati,
Porsche, BMW or just a Bentley
In a shade of grey overall?

If I ever win a million,
Can I visit Rome, Venice,
Or go to London,
And instead check out, Malaysian Hall?

If I ever win a million,
Will I buy the Rolex,
That I have been eyeing
Ever since I know the word basketball?

If I ever win a million,
I know one thing for sure
Once I wake up
It will be all gone
Cause it ain't gonna happen, y'all!

Hahhahahaha. Bley jadi hit song tak?

I dedicate this to Ayu NoTidak who won One In a Million. She really has a great talent and voice to match. Will we ever see her again? I dunno... coz with a million, I'd rather just stay home.
