Boney M

To me, nothing feels like Christmas without a listen to Boney M's Christmas album. I grew up listening to it ever since I could identify a Christmas song. My mum loves the group and she usually starts Christmassifying the whole house after All Soul's Day (Nov 2). Christmas! Christmas! Christmas!

I have no idea why I am so excited.

Working near Midvalley Megamall and The Gardens has one or two perks. The best so far is being able to feel all Christmassy. The decorations are out and the ornaments for sale. Yay!

Next would be the music, artificial snow, and elaborate displays.

*Starts to plan what decoration and ornament goes where around the house! Hhhmmmmm..*

What Have I Done?

Seriously. What have I done thus far?

To not disappoint my overbearing self, it would be very unlike me to not question myself and how things are going at work.

Am I cut out for this?

Questions plague me as I see people starting to question themselves about their pathway. Fears.

Unfounded or am I just psyching myself out? I do this too often. Over think and worry for the future. In this case, wondering if am I doing my very best and disappointing?

Dear God, help man create a chill pill? Please.

When Will Be The Next?

The All American Rejects concert was kind of 'meh' for me.

I don't know why but I felt like they were much better during the MTV World Stage concert? I enjoyed myself nonetheless. As always good company makes the 'meh' of things much more fun. Like every other concert, I jumped, I sang, I screamed, I bitched, I and danced my ass off.

Despite the 'meh'ness, I can still say I had so many moments during that concert that would last me a life time just like the previous concert(s) I went for.

Still there were two things that bothered me. One of which I find myself so angry each time I think about it so, it is locked in box deep deep inside my mind. Go away negativity!

The other incident was awesome. There was this wannabe bitch who phoned her friends to come and squeeze in front of me and my friends. Some of her dick-head friends came forward but pushed past ahead of us. Good. At least no one was blocking us till one dude decided to stand right in front of Azz.

I got pissy and told her, "Are you serious? Can you get your friend outta my friend's face?".

And she dared to reply, "What? It hasn't even started yet?".

I got so mad I said, "I don't care! Get him away now!".

She tried to fight back by saying, "Isn't there more space at the back there?".

Bitch actually thought she won till I told her "Really? Why don't you get your ass there than?".

Haha! You got owned! Bitch opened her mouth to reply till she saw Azz's and my face. Her dick of a friend did not want to mess with me and Azz and so he pretended to be on the phone. Seriously.

That felt so good, I actually wished she fought back because the earlier incident got me so mad I would have loved to have vented my anger on that whole group of dick-heads.

Bitch fight!

I met Joe while lining up to enter. Poor dude was actually freaking early and could have gotten a place right in front of the stage but gave up his spot to his friends and later ended up somehow walking aimlessly and not waiting in line! If I had not spotted him and texted him, he would just have stood around staring into space. Haha! it was good to hang with him till I accidentally ditched him when we got in. Thank God he found his group of friends! I tried to phone him but my cell phone decided to play dead at that moment. Stupid pms-ing phone.

I got in quite late, around 7pm if I am not mistaken, but somehow I managed to be right in front of the stage. And the crowd kept moving forward and I was quite near. We were lucky to get a spot in front of the stage and having many short people in front of us. we saw everything!

I wonder which concert will I attend next?

iHeart

It was a mistake to say that I would come in for work on Friday. I should have just taken the week off. I thought a day of rest after my exam would be fine. Nope! Total bullcrap. A little to ambitious sometimes.

Nevertheless, I salvaged the day by skipping out on the company dinner at some place far far away from home and to spend time with Michelle. Little did I know that by waiting for Michelle to get to Midvalley, I bumped into Lai Kuen and Ashley.

I <3 bullying Ashley

It was a well spent 1 hour with them. One of the little blessings of UCSI was having Lai Kuen and Ashley as friends.

Michelle and I caught the 9.50pm movie for Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. It was quite an entertaining movie. The silliness is contagious. "Steve!"

I also <3 NPH!! Ehehe. "Steve!"

*In 3 minutes I will have to dart off and get ready for AAR's concert! AHAHAHA!

I <3 Azz and Julie!!

They Made A Statue Of Us

I love people's different perspectives on things and how I learn. You just have to not annoy the hell out of me when you are expressing said perspectives. Very few know the art.

I missed hanging with Stephanie and constantly talking and making fun of people and laughing and eating and making more fun of people and going crazy in accepted amounts of energy bursts. That was fun.

Serenity comes at the oddest of times.

Indecision. Me. Crazy.

What is a word that describes something in between 'meh' and good?

That is what 500 Days of Summer feels like to me. I can see why the movie did well but somehow something felt like it was missing. Like a pea under a mattress.

It frustrates me that I cannot seem to find the right word to describe the missing link.

As usual, I am always drawn to a movie's cinematic direction. The visualization and the connotations it carries speak to me before anything else. 500 had beautiful interpretations of expressing emotions.

Which is probably why I felt so deeply in wanting to kill off one of the characters.

A movie that can keep a smile on my face and pull me through its emotional-runs is a good enough reason for people to go and catch this movie. Sadly, 500's last showing in KL was Wednesday night (last night). Looks like one has to travel up north to catch it?

You know what else deserves a mention? The movie's soundtrack. The entire time I was watching 500, I kept making a mental note to get my hands on the soundtrack (if you know what I mean). I tried so hard to explain to Stephanie how much I love the soundtrack without being too noisy. Little did I know, she was trying to do the same thing. HAHA!

The soundtrack complements the movie perfectly. Enough said!

Don't you just hate how people don't get the funny parts of a movie and you end up laughing like a cow while the rest of theater is quiet?

Oh! Oh! And if you can show the word 'bitch', why sensor just a word (could have been 'fuck') and some kissing? It was so badly edited that one could tell very clearly it was hastily done.

Malaysia. Seriously.

Tainted View

With all the shit I keep getting, I am surprised I still have not shot myself yet.

Videos;

Unity, Peace, Tolerance equals Friendship
The title is of a video submitted by someone from UCSI Uni that links to Proton's 1Malaysia crap competition. I hate to taint my blog with political ploys but the video is so bad I just had to link it. The video titled 'Ne...???' is much better.

She is effing funny.

Tagging along with Michelle to the 8TV Quickie auditions was the right move. Michelle had planned on giving it a go and I was to lend my undying support. Somehow, I ended up auditioning along with Alvin and her. The guard at the entrance would not let either Alvin or I through if we did not audition. Stupid guard.

So I registered, watched many pretentious people come and go, bumped into my neighbour (also auditioning), and made a few friends (as usual, names of which I cannot remember). The wait was long. Michele, Alvin and I were #61, #62 and #63 respectively and at that time, #11 was in waiting.

Our turn came at about 2.30pm or later. I think I screwed up the 1 minute introduction because my mind went blank. I started talking about movies and I have not even watched a single significant movie for the past 2 months or more! After that, I had to move on to a mock talk show.

My talk show was awesome. Tainted View was a show with the tag line, 'The Malaysian take on International Gossip'. I killed it.

I managed to get Prem (current Quickie host and Fly.fm DJ) to be Paris Hilton visiting Malaysia. Interviewing 'Prem' Hilton was hilarious. My end show sign-off was spot on. Even I surprised myself. It was all in good fun.

I found out later that I had auditioned for a reality show to find the newest Quickie host. Wtf? A reality show? Crappers!

I did not bother with preparing for the audition. All in my mind was, "Lalalalalalalalala ..OOOOO.. Shiny things!".

I spent my entire time at Sri Pentas making friends and bitching about others. Seriously, American and British accents are so last century. Grow up. Almost everyone auditioning was so generic. Is there a factory I do not know about?

I love pretentious people. Who else am I going to make fun off?
