MJ
i remembered lee hom doing a cover of MJ's smooth criminal. but this video is absolutely bad quality. however, it's the only one i can find.
annie is totally fine, lee hom.
*edited* ok sorry i made fun of that. haha.
it's difficult to find one song which really represents the great king of pop. you can totally put up a song which you like, and there's so many which is totally astounding. it's difficult to choose one.
i would have initially opted for smooth criminal or beat it or heal the world or the earth song.
but i picked this. MJ co written this piece with lionel richie back in 1985. he brought together great artistes of the era, diana ross, tina turner, stevie wonder and others, for a charitable and honourable cause.
but sorry, i fell in love with bruce springsteen (who also sings secret garden for the movie, jerry maguire). bruce sings hotly. haha.

Laid-back Sunday.
pictures credits to meendee chung and her dslr from a long time ago. if you remembered the cookie baking thing (during the rough week, why do i feel this week is going to be a rough week again?), these pictures are taken by my sister.

random thoughts.
sometimes i feel extremely sad about it, sometimes i feel excited about things which crosses my mind. i am indecisive and inconclusive about things which does the marathon in my mind.
the thought most occuring in my mind would be, how time flies. is this a good or bad thing, can you tell me? this morning when i took my bath and moments before this when i took my bath, the one thing in my mind when i look into myself in the reflective item would be 'this is my last semester, omg'.
i am a senior! senior of mini seniors and senior seniors of mini juniors. whatever you call us. haha. we are the ones doing out final subjects! we are the one you go to when you wanna know what books to use, how terrible is a lecturer, whether are there tips for a particular subject. we are the experienced ones. yes, that's the word, experienced.
i first found myself stumbling around aimlessly metropolitan as a curtin student. curtin was my stepping stone to rmit. i hated everything in curtin, from its lecturers to its syllabus to its assessments to its exams! then i entered rmit. i was overflowed with enthusiasm! excited but scared. i was entirely alone. don't tell me that i am not independent or shit. i started off my uni life all alone, made a choice on my own. 6 out of 10 of my friends chose to follow suit to peer advices and what nots. i didn't. i was different. i picked out a major no one else did. i did a major which doesn't neccessarily guarantee me a job, but i liked my major. i am excited about things i learn.
so much has changed. and now i am asking myself, how am i going to plan and set things out of my final semester? am i going to study hard? or am i gonna fool around because really, this is my only time to play.
you can find me boring. you can find me absurd. but i am just slightly different.
see, even the path i chose for myself is different. people digress when the new semester starts. i am actually happy it is starting. it just means new things for me to learn, to know.
you can find me always being very clumsy, tripping over things and saying even weirder things. sometimes stupid things. like today... as i was helping jen and yee mun pick out a gift, i asked 'so what's your friend's favourite colour?'. yee mun said black. i actually asked 'what type of black?'. haha, omfg. she turned to jen and said 'what type of black....wth! what kinda question is that! black lah.' oops. i sound so bimbotic.
yin wai calls me bimbo because english (pirate) on facebook makes me happy. giddily happy. it makes me smile. it doesn't mean i am bimbotic. it just means, english (pirate) makes my heart skip a little, and my heart smiles. i don't look at pink slippers and smile! wth. so may i beg to differ, i am not a bimbo. there are just little things which makes me happy. like occasional ice popsicles. occasional ok.
even the songs i listen to are not bimbotic. and coldplay is not gay, i repppppeat. i mean how often you find people at 21, listening to buble. even my mum says i am weird listening to mraz.
i can't even communicate with girls who says 'i am hot! right right? we are hot!'. it puzzles me, don't do this to me. i am nice to strangers. most likely i'd just stare puzzlingly. i know it when people talk to me, whether if we're on the same wave length. like sixth sense.
i've grown and am growing so quickly, it scares me!
ps. geez i still crave for baskins. and now i crave for ikea. i want to walk around ikea aimlessly. touching furnitures and items and not buying them.
marche on the go.
this post is very much regarding food and if you're hungry, stay awhile till you fill yourself with food. sorry! this is a salivating post.
we're talking marche@ curve today.
father's day was last sunday and the family usually feast on special occasions like this. marche is a market based restaurant where you order and self serve your food. cute concept, something innovative and relatively different, but i find myself not very attracted to this concept.
too much time wasted on walking around, by the time you had finished your course, you're back being hungry again! oh no! another con to this concept is that, they really charge you for everything. extra mashed potatoes will cost an extra rm1.50, wtfreak. and when you order just steak, well, you really get just ONE steak. boo for ...gluttons like me.
rib eye steak for the glutton sister as well. now i don't seem like such a big eater after all.
mine was yummy. i had grilled lamb. and i love lamb. just as much as i love steak. the lamb was worth it. i think this was rm 29. (i have no idea if the price changes from day to day basis or they don't)
story telling. remember my post where i told my nephew random stories. really, he is always in awe.
'whoa, sai yi damnnnn cool!'
i was filled to the brim and i actually twittered it. father's day was awesome posum.

a minute with you means a lot more than just a minute.
when little short orange asked for suggestions for a place to eat at sunway (sunway because they're bullying me, they won't ever travel to pj), i jumped in for gasoline.
i love love love this place at sunway pyramid. let me tell you why. haha. i always like places to dine where you have to sit on floors. do not wtfomgbbq me. it's adorable and gives a homely feeling! and the best thing about gasoline in sunway, is that they have curtains which seperates each table, providing much enough privacy. very very cute.
the only bad thing is....it's not comfortable for tall people. and its lightings are rather dimly lit. bad for camwhoring (sushi zanmai is good for camwhoring).
so i threw on shorts so i can sit like a loafer on the floor! very awesome, my ideal lunch.
don't find me weird, because my ideal dining image is not fine dining where people serve you wine and caviar. haha. I LOVE SITTING ON THE FLOOR, SO WHAT?
they ate without me, mean much. i was just slightly late! and i wanted to take pictures of food. however, again, the lightings were too dimly lit.
her outrageous longan/lychee milk drink was rm6.50. and huggggge. you see, another reason why i love gasoline. haha. damn it, they have such wide variety of drinks and i love their shake-shake (fruit shake).
leng lui who kept pestering me to come faster. ish.
facebook frenzy!
i recently changed my facebook language from English (US) to English (Pirate). cutest lil shit in the whole wide world i swear!
can you see how 'log out' has become 'abandon ship'? hahahahaha. seeing this puts a smile on my face. instead of 'add as friend' it becomes 'be mateys'!!
a-dow-ra-ble much!! haha 'friend requests' becomes 'sorry louts think they're your mates!' haha. omg, cutest thing!!

things which makes me happpppeeeee!
transatlanticism by death cab for cutie. extremely draggggy song, but i love the beat and the emotions in it.
i can't decide if i like scientist, yellow or fix you more. but coldplay is not gay. 500% not gay. seriously. i am damn emotional about this wei.
*greeeatly editted*
i know how much people hate to come across a blog and have to see videos. you have to wait for it to load and likely you're not going to like it because music is such a subjective matter.
but this is my blog. i will post videos of music I LIKE. and they are NOT gay.
yellow is an amazing song. i love its lyrics. and this was one adrenalin pumping performance. shit i love rock concerts because they are all so pumping. the beginning to this performance is amazing to no extent.
you would ask what's the difference of this video and the second video of this post. this is acoustic, and brandon the tuna fish will love this.
if you realized, i'd dig performance where the crowd sings along. but an acoustic version says a lot. to me, acoustic version is a song at its most simplistic minimal point. simplicity is the key to beauty. when you stripped down all other instruments, and shouting, you can tell if the music is a talent or not.
chris martin at more live perfomances suck at singing. but this video proves otherwise. this video is amazing. and this song is amazing. this song talks about resentment, being sorry, second chances, in my opinion. so this song is deep in its meaning for me.
i LOVE this song. it has to be my favourite coldplay song by far.
there's nothing special about this song. in fact he sang badly, and he called his crowd 'bastard'. wtfreak.
but it is noel gallagher of oasis!! it is the collaboration of two very very talented artist. zomg. i am a sucker for rockers. so when i saw two very talented artist on an acoustic version, you can tell how excited i am, especially when i love the song. however, it felt as if noel lacked feelings with the guitar. so i ain't no pro, but i can tell if someone plays with feelings and emotions.
sigh. lengthy. it's 4 am, good night!
petticoat talk
i seldom crave for ice-cream though, but these days were exceptions in my life. anyone wants to be my date to baskins for mint chocolate chip?
according to my pre-planned schedule, chocolate brownies was in my weekly schedule. however, thanks to odd sleeping hours, brownies have to wait till my body clock works well. i am sorry to whoever who wanted a bite. haha. which would be no one, wtf.
thanks to malfunction body clock, there's a zit on my nose. thank you. what a gift for the weekend.
and my sisters quoted me a great story teller! i know, thank you. in 5 seconds, i whipped out a total f-awesome story on why snakes have split tongues to my 4 years old nephew so to convince him to stop screaming. thanks to my ability in exaggerating and ability in lying, any stupid stories become good stories.
sister said i should be a novel author instead of a freaking economist. yes, i bet much. i think i will be a f-awesome mother who has many interesting stories to tell her kids!
i would love to be a novelist.
or a cool mum. who talks wayyyy too much. and finds a husband who'd listen wayyyy too much.
ps. petticoat talk because i simply picked the first word i see in the dictionary when i opened it. very random! well, random is what this post is.

i am random.
i pity ika and sze vien for eating lunch with me, because they ended up laughing more than eating due to me being too random for their soul. it wasn't my fault entirely you see. i didn't make 'G' up. but seriously, i am so addictive, even ika wants to have sushi with me again! i am fun! (not boringggg)
anyway, random chats with brandon the tuna fish, which i found...the things i say are very disturbing. (pls i do not have a hubungan sulit with him ok? i already have my personal lee hom <-- best thing in life i swear, just that this one cannot even speak proper mandarin, fuh)
and this brandon kepppppt talking about his stupid ifp exam (over already la!) and how the hall is far away. and he kept diverting from the topic. i hate diversion, it wastes time.
i said 'exam is not important' HAHAHA. imagine that, i said exam is not important.
he was just meaning clothing stocks! damn grossed out, i was entirely wrong. haha. apparently i am an advisor to his mum's company. very good, if no one hire me, hire me okay?
i love wong yee mun. but i hate it when she's in front of my house, and i am always out. haha. sorry, TLOML also had trippy eyes. but i just had to disturb her. i love her reactions. everytime she tells you something, just say 'you come my house now'. haha!
sushi again!!!

sweet cookies from a cookie.
when there are classes, i cook occasionally when my mother demands me to. so i usually whip up easy things like tom yam beehoon, carbonara and bolognese. nothing fanciful. i am not good when it comes to cooking chinese/malay/indian dishes. sorry! haha. except maybe curry, cause i did cook curry when i was 14.
before this i had no access to an oven because if i used my mother's oven, it'll trip the electricity for the house. yuck. but a few weeks/days back, my sister brought back the mini oven (yay!). okay, let me tell you the story of the mini oven. if you wish to skip this, proceed to the next paragraph. the mini oven initially belongs to my second sister. which then my eldest sister borrowed because she wanted to bake and the oven was not put to full use (my second sister only uses it to .... toast bread, wtf). well, my second sister doesn't cook and certainly won't ever make the effort to cook up something special, haha. so when my eldest sister bought a brand new (and bigger) oven, she tossed the mini oven to me. so yay! this is the story of the mini oven and the three sisters.
the first thing i made with the oven was not cookies. but it was lemon pepper chicken, which turned out too sour. however, i loved the aglio olio spaghetti which was served alongside. (of course i cooked it lah, it didn't come finely prepared abuhhhh)
initially, i didn't quite intend to make the cookies though i made myself promise to make them. well, cookies are not my thing. i don't fancy eating cookies. and i had a really rough week, i swear. i look 10 times uglier right now.
my legs and finally the baking process. haha. i stood there from 4 pm till 8.30 pm, fuh. very very tedious work. i never liked to bake. but it can be fun, when i want to take my mind off things.

to try things.
food of the day. sushi! i initially opted for katsudons. but ika made me order sushi because she wanted sushi, pffft.
very attractive biotherm ambassador. takeshi kaneshiro.
