81 and counting

YEZZZAAA!!!!

Put your hands up in the air! Chelsea maintained their 'rekod tanpa kalah' at Stamford Bridge. Perhaps Manure will eventually go and win the EPL, but I don't care. As long as they are not celebrating at Chelsea's turf today, it's fine by me.

I didn't watch the 2nd half. But from what I read, Cavalho made a boo boo and created a chance for Rooney to score. It's ok no 6, it doesn't matter now. No 13 (picture above), kudos with the brilliant goals!

Summer of '69... well almost

I was born on April 25th 1969. It's almost summer. Here I am 4 months and clueless. I thot I was a swimming champion

..... but as I grew older, I worry a lot

.... who wouldn't? Especially if your parents photographed you naked on the front lawn. I couldn't believe them!

... not only I worry, I'm a sceptic too. They told me, this is a McLaren stroller. Tipu lah!


... I especially don't trust my big brother who likes to make faces while taking pictures. Look at his hand... it's been itching for something mischevious


.. Oh well, we eventually become best friends. Here I am beside him, supporting the liberation army of Jalan Masjid, Batu Pahat.

..and boy, do we have style!

..... that was of course, till Miss Snotty-SmellyBottom came along


.... and of course, I still worry sometimes. Especially when Miss Snotty-SmellyBottom is nearby. Can't really trust her.

All in all, my childhood was a great one. That's how I roll.

..so here's to another birthday. Blowing candles and hope that wishes come true!

Special shoutout to my sistah, CokNa - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We lobes you always and FOREVAH! - from Juned and Miss Snotty-Smelly-Bottom.

Your Momma So Big

Ok this one needs a posting on its own.

You know the "your momma so big" jokes? Here's some that I can think of for Chelsea, from last nite Champions League match against Liverpool.

1. Your strikers are so slow, Forest Gump had to yell Run Forest Run for you.
2. You're so painful to watch, it likes listening to Paula A during Idol.
3. Your strikers are so dumb, that it takes a Liverpool defender to score a goal for you!

Eniff said - apakejadkejadhar!

Dunno whether to laugh or to cry. Please step up your game guys!

Cacamarba - one word

I'm back logged with my blog. There's so many things to write about, but so many lazy cells in my body. Padahal, I think I have taken so many off days these months, my colleague will eventually forget about me. Hah!

Yang pertama, yang ku nanti, akhirnya tiba juga. Suka Banget! Presenting my new laptop. Waited since last PC Fair to buy it. Bought if on Friday and it arrived on Tuesday. This is actually my first post from the laptop. I could've done it sooner, if not for the sucky Maxis connection. Power Mobile - apakejad!

Yang kedua - Ah, so I missed Celine Dion. So I wasn't one of the 20K people at Stadium Merdeka. So I was not there singing My heart will go on and on and on (alhamdulillah!). But I was at Esplanade-Singapore, shouting the words to We Will Rock You! I have to be honest, the story line was stupid. Some dance move (as recalled by my friend) made me cringed and squirmed in my seat. Don't even mentioned about the props. Props masa school play dulu pun lagi hebat. And yes, I did sleep during the second act. But the songs were great! It was like a rock concert! Worth every RM paid for it. We got great seats, right next to the stage. I could clearly see Mig Ayesa's lubang hidung. Ambik kau! Ooo and did I say, Esplanade tu mcm Istana Budaya la jugak the layout. Perhaps Istana Budaya, moving stages/platform impress me more, but perhaps the storyline doesn't do justice to the place.

Yang ketiga - Priceless or hors de prix. Everyone should watch this movie. I saw it the first time during the International Film Fest at GSC. Eversince then, I was hunting for it's DVD. I could not believe it, when the guy at HMV said, "oh it's a french film kan?" Oui!!!! Watch it. It's tres bien! Aku dah meracun semua orang to watch it. Hehehhe. Read more : Hors de Prix

Yang keempat - APM. Anugerah Planet Muzik. FYI - the tickets for this awards show were given out for free. Seperti biasa, last2 minute barulah nak mencari ticket, memanglah dah takde. Takpe kita cuba lagi lain kali. I even called the organizer, whom I'm sure was laughing their ass off when I asked about the tickets. Ok la, who cares, dah sudah pun awardnya.

What's my take? Let's see what's good first.

1. Sarah Sechan! TERIMA KASIH APM. Kurang sikit blood pressure aku.

2. They played Franz Ferdinand, each time the presenters came out.

3. Performances were good. Except Siti's Fantasia Bulan Madu.. a bit lame, tapi still OK LA TU.

4. Audience. Hahahah, Kain Pelikat after Anuar receives his award was a good one!

5. Yeay Siti and Anuar for knowing the ltrics to Ketahuan by Matta. Takde la nampak mcm ngok ngek.

Things that could be improved:

1. Thank you speeches. Eh tolong la, when nominated, at least prepare la sikit. Menang kalah lain cerita.

2. There were some akward pauses. Macam tetiba senyap and no activities. The producer should take care of that, so that takde la the show over run and had to rush at the end.

3. Search should have performed!

Things that could not be retrieved back of the wasted minutes of my life:

1. Baju Faizal Tahir - the whole shebang with the cord jacket and mis match pants and horrible shoes.

2. Baju Faizal Tahir - the semi shebang without the cord jacket, HORRID disgusting shirt (my eyes!!) and horrible shoes. Put the jacket on back please.

3. Faizal Tahir's thank you speech - I'm bored with the keeping my shirt on remarks so something like that. Honestly, I think you should take off your whole outfit!

4. Fara Ashikin taking eons to go on stage and accept her awards. Ye dek non, aku pun terkejut beruk kau menang.

Next week AIM. How will go? As long as there's no stupid banter between presenters, I think I'm going to be ok.

Contoh stupid banter:
Girl Presenter: " Apa khabar. Nampak hensem la. Hensem tak dia penonton?"
Guy Presenter: "Hahahahah. Baju I, Tajaan L*** Tailor. You pun apa kurangnya? Laki you ada dtg malam ni?"

WTF!

Singapura Di Langgar Todak

Hahahahhahahhah there you go. The theme of my shopping madness in Orchard Road. It's always not a good idea to go shopping with nothing in mind. Instead of buying something, you end up with everything. The picture was taken outside of Robinson. Kudos to the marketing genius behind this campaign. They were giving out free shopping bag with any purchase. Nasib baik dah habis bag tu, if not tak balik agaknya kitaorg.

I went to Singapore with Bibah, sahabat lama from my school days. Actually pergi nak tengok Queen musical - We Will Rock You. We had a day to spare, and it will be utter sin not to drop by in Orchard Road. I told Bibah, we must shop till someone feels like killing someone or till someone feels that suicide is a better option than taking the next step. Bibah told me to remind her to watch her spending. Sorry lah kak, you got the wrong person. Heheheheheh. Tu dia.. in the end, we spend the whole day from 11am to almost 9.30pm just on one side of Orchard Road! By the time, we cross over and masuk Takashimaya, dua-dua dah suicidal. If someone would offer a Coach bag for 10 SGD, I think the two of us would rather drop dead than pergi berebut beli bag tu. I even notice that I had blisters on my fingers from carrying too many bags!!!

Balik we took cab to Woodland. Tumpang a friend's place. Kena 20 SGD.

Was it worth it? TOTALLY!

The trip was short but a fun one. It's my first time, naik bus to Singapore. Not bad actually. We arrived at night, so the customs was empty. And when we went back, there's no one to check our bags at Kastam Johor. Cayalah!!! Sebab, if they do, aku lah mangsa pertama yang sah-sah kena tax. The bus pun was not that bad. Nak kata laju, I think it was biasa je. The trip back, we took the slighty expensive coach. Boley tgk movie. Kinda of cool.

Well, hope ada rezeki to return back, sebab there's two more shopping complex under construction in Orchard Road. Tak eloklah kalau tak check it out :)

Exit light, enter night...

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Nasib baik ada lagu ni. If not the rock kapak week, cuma tinggal kapak tumpul karat aje. The performances did not live up to the hype. But who could blame them, 3/4 of the students memang tak pernah dengar pun lagu ni. Too bad sebab the judges and the audiences memang know the song by heart. Well, at least me. Hah! I have to side with Adlin on this one, memang there are times during the performances rasa macam nak terkecik.

Bosan nak cakap pasal yang sumbang and tak hafal lirik and yang nampak macam clown.

Let's talk about other things.

Baju. Purple dress with puffy sleeves should be burned in hell. Then, the only thing that the designers, penasihat pakaian ke whatever he calls himself, can think of.. mismatches sleeves is so Rock! Slevees with silver sulam sleeves. Grey torn sleeve with tah apa benda. Rasa macam nak muntah pulak. ni Rock ke Cindy Lauper Pop?

Pronounciation. Yes, you need to be clear. But I find overdoing or overstressing the words is so blerghhhh. UmbrelLAHH, ForeVAAHH, NevAHH, PosAHHH. It does not make you look smarTAHH or sophisticated. Try to sing it and see what I mean:

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait foreVAH
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or neVAH
This were the best days of my life

Oh well, who can blame them. Lyric pun tak paham. Apa kejad, kejad har!

Shouting. Yes, the more you shout the more Rockin' you are. Tapi ada jugak lagu yang jiwang karat. Bila lagu karat pun nak jerit, dah jadi karut la. The students I can understand, whole week semua orang disuruh jadi ganas la.. whatever la.. Tapi yang judges pulak, apa hal? You have a mike on, you don't need to shout. PMS ka? Yang sekor lagi pulak, aku tgk mcm nak meraih popularity vote. whatEVAH!

Backup Band. Yeay! Finally something good to talk about. Too bad most of your frontman sucks!

Next week, i hope semua org dress nicely and park your ForeVAH, NeVAHH outside the MPPJ hall.

Selamat Maju JaYAHHHH!
