like a worn-out pair of jeans

sometimes you just get so tired of giving a damn about every single itsy-bitsy detail of life. you just want to stop washing those jeans despite them being dirty because it is so much more comfortable to wear something you didn't give a damn about.

exactly. i am very tired of giving a damn.

i lost my copy Eclipse and Breaking Dawn last week. i'm really sorry. those books meant the world to me, and you have no idea how heartbroken i am. i' m not even bothered to rebuy them. it isn't the same anymore. sorry guys.

and somebody said something to me today that i found both offensive and slightly rude to my well-being. it challenged my beliefs and standings-- which i really don't like at all.

all in all, a very bad day indeed.

Errr...

"A "health curfew" may involve the closure of all schools and the cancellation of all public and social functions, medical sources said.

Public gathering places might also be temporarily closed."


Owh kay... This whole H1N1 shebang is getting out of hand to the point of being scary. The death toll has been rising quite rapidly for a supposedly "seasonal flu". According to this article on The Star, the government will issue an health curfew if the death toll rises above 0.4pc. I don't know what the heck it means but currently it is at 0.1% to 0.3% so it wont be too far away right?

I mean, closure of ALL and cancellation of ALL? I don't know about you but the word ALL seems to carry a lot of weight to me. I mean I'm imagining some kinda "I Am Legend" type of scenario even worse then the CNY exodus.

The effects of this decision scares me. The panic and fear among the people? The economy shutting down? Very big deal indeed. After reading the article (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/8/17/nation/20090817103540&sec=nation) I can't help but to begin to have this awareness and sense of fear in me as well.

Not to mention the drug Tamiflu, which is the medication created to battle this flu hasn't been effective. I'm making this assumption based upon a couple in the UK gave their toddlers Tamiflu and they were vomitting until the point the couldn't vomit anything else other than phlegm. Not to mention the shortage and unwillingness for clinics to stock up the drug due to high price and low supply (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/8/15/nation/4524157&sec=nation)

But I guess whatever it is, it is better to be careful. Take care everybody!

Come On Consistency

I don't think there is any better way to start the season other than demolishing a team 6-1 away. When you find out that the team that had to endured the pain was Everton, a team known for their consistency and defense, it can't get any better.

Le Professuer got it right. All the players he fielded today were top class, with only one new face, which deserves a shot at man of the match. Many of the players on show today were underperformers last season, and when Arsene publicly proclaim his faith in them so confidently, you can't be blamed for having doubts. Yet ironically, the underperformers were the real deal today.

Coming back to Earth, it is still the first game of the season, with 37 left to go, which in football time is like eternity so it will be foolish to think that the title is ours at this point. Yet as passion always overcome logic and rationality, with a performance like this, you can't help but feel delirious and over-optimistic about success at such an early stage as a fan.

Success is not out of reach by a million miles, yet if these words, humility, hunger and consistency, are kept throughout the season, success is but in our grasp already.

As the wave subsides, I begin to be filled with rationality to not expect too much at this point in time yet, but it's easier said than done.

My man of the match

El Capitan, Francesc Fabregas, for his 2 goals, 2 assists and infinite supply of sublime passes.

P.S.: Great song, even greater video by an amazing band,

slipped away

thank you CK for the announcement ;D

yes, i am very happy at the moment. life couldn't have been any brighter. except for the fact that my trials is next month...

=.=

seriously. exams non-stop man. oh well. it will be the end soon. and i'm not looking forward to it. the end would mean a whole new group of people to miss when it's all over.

you know what, i seriously hate missing people. it's something that you cannot control, that eats you from the inside, and makes you foolish sometimes; in your desperation to see them again.

another one of the many great flaws of being human. missing each other.

sigh.

i just don't want to leave Taylor's and have to start all over again, which is bound to happen. It's just a matter of time.

so much for wanting to "take off" so badly.

Augustus Bestus

So like August has been and is going to be the best month I've ever have, I think, I hope lol. Why?

After LOUD09, things has been so relaxing, so much so that i've procrastinated so much yet of course delivered my work, but dota-ing countlessly in between. Ahh such bliss.

But that's college life, which is coming to an end this week. After that is 3 weeks break! And that's the best part. First of all, is the time off that I want and need, obviously. Secondly, Final Fantasy Dissidia is coming out August 25 and September don't look too shabby as well with a few other games on the lineup, like Persona, and maybe even Soul Calibur 0.0.

But!! Probably the best news of all I've heard today(no Arsenal haven't sign anybody yet, dammit) is that.. wait for it...

FAT PRINCESS IS COMING TO THE PSP WOOHOOO!!!

That's right. I was so happy when I read wikipedia that a PSP version of the game is under development. What's the deal? Fat Princess is a multiplayer game(up to 32 players simultaneously) with the concept being capture the flag. Instead of a flag, players need to rescue their princess from the enemy. However, to make things abit more special, you can collect food and feed your hostage princess to make her fat so that it makes it harder for your enemy to carry her back to their castle.

I know right?

It's so clever and direct, it's genius! Man, can you believe it? Hahaha this is awesome. The current game is only out on the PS3, which can be downloaded through the PS Network. There is 5 different classes in the game, a worker, archer, warrior, mage and forgot 1 more(healer I think) what already. Here is a preview from youtube.




This is the official logo


Yes, The time for the reign of the PSP has come. COME ON FAT PRINCESS!!

P.S. : And as always, a tune. Enjoy!

In Rainbows

I know I am potong-ing your steam by posting this before you Ming but I just want to say congratulations!

For those who have not know yet, Ming just got straight A's (4A's, right?) for his AS exams, which means uber awesome shiznitness if you don't understand what the hype is about. I feel like giving you a gift so here is one (I am partially lying because I'm also finding some outlet to post music I like =P). Anyway this is a very very beautiful song from Radiohead, and I shall dedicate it to you, not that you're beautiful, but that you got beautiful results (sorry la, need to down to Earth abit =D).

Here you go!

ill

i'm so tired of being ill. seriously. this month's toll is already 2 for this weak body of mine. i've been hit by the flu TWICE.

and no. i DO NOT have influenza A, don't get your panties in a twist. but i just can't help but be curious if there is a hidden motive behind all this falling sick-ing.

*shudders*


Anyway, i am missing all of you terribly. life without you besties is very draining at times. i miss the impressive company and the "lack of words comfort", when all i need is a hug and a smile of reassurance. you guys are the only friends who can make me feel better without actually saying anything.

My AS RESULTS are coming out on Monday. it might be a little bit dramatic to say "my future shall be set in stone in 4 day's time" but it is true to some extent. wish me all the best guys. i'm not in the least tense about it. yet. i guess it'll kick in on Sunday night. get your phones ready ;D

mmm. enough about myself. let's do some sharing :

1. Tommy Emmanuel, his guitar, and Angelina.
- have you guys heard this amazing piece by Tommy? He's this guitarist that i'm absolutely gaga over right now. excellent music, kinda like chicken soup for the soul.

click here, to listen.

2. 500 Days of Summer

- i first read about this in a magazine, then stumbled across a very handsome picture *ahem* on lisa's crazy blog. then, i you-tubed it and it's all i can think about watching right now.

this is not a love story, it is a story about love.

definately one to notebook in your diaries.

3. The atrocity that is Harry Potter and the half Blood Prince.
- I cannot believe it took me this long to start insulting the movie. i know everyone thinks the movie is a complete waste of 2 hours you're never going to get back in your life; but trust me, the movie picked a bone with me a whole other LEVEL.

i am a fanatic where harry potter is concerned, and i am very dissapointed in the potrayal of one my favourite books of all time.

they changed scenes (which i can totally accept where appropriate, sadly most of the changes were HIGHLY inappropriate) they ADDED scenes (something that is inappropriate on its own, you just don't add on to JK Rowling's fantasy world however minutely, unless you're JK Rowling) and Harry is such a stoner actor, he takes the cake for stoniness right after hayden christenenssen in Star Wars. NO, wait, he's MUCH WORSE.

i could probably turn my mum into harry potter with an attachable penis and some glasses to boot, by his standards.

ARGH. i AM SO ANGRY-FIED

4. T-Shirts in tribute to the king of PoP - i am nowhere close to a true fan. but i'm selling shirts. the design is like this :

design 1
design 2

colour : white shirt
cut : fitted to chest (male/female)
sizes : S/M/L/XL
prices : (in discussion, but will be less than RM20)

- mind you, this shirt is for charity so anything less than RM20 is reasonable. please buy and support the cause. it's to raise funds for orphanages on behalf of Taylor's.

you two will buy one right ;D

PS : the designs are courtesy of Lisa (especially design 1) and Suzen (design 2)



i guess that's all for now. smelllss you later !~
