All American Rejects cover 'Womanizer'

Why Womanizer?

"Is it because of its deep political connotations? No. Its because we can do it better than Britney."

Absolute hilarity. Its so good/bad its inexplicable. I love AAR.

*rofl*

Come Out of the Shade

Was it love, or just something that reminded me of

Something that felt a lot like, but wasn't, love

Just friends, friends then, until the end

You know I still pretend, just friends.

Take a step and come out of the shade

I can tell you're no longer afraid

I'm helpless without your warming smile

Take a step and come out in the sun

I can tell it's already begun

I'm helpless without your warming smile

Was it love, I think it was but I'm far from sure

I'd never felt that way before, was it love?

Just friends, am I a fool to be asking for,

a fool to wish that we could be more than friends

Take a step and come out of the shade

I can tell you're no longer afraid

I'm helpless without your warming smile

Take a step and come out here in the sun

I can tell it's already begun

I'm helpless without you,

Helpless without you,

Helpless without your warming smile

Your warming smile 

The Perishers are a Swedish indie band - never heard of them until The Sims 2 played their song, 'Sway'. Came across this song while looking for more of their stuff, and I felt that this slow, sad song just caught my attention. This video is rather interesting, as well.

And I love this song, just because. ^^,

I've been........

A-wondering.

I wonder why I can't flip my hair and smile at a guy with the corner of my lips and with a teasing twinkle in my eye, the way I see so many girls do. Or more specifically, my sister. 

She's a flirt, that one. Belum sampai 3 bulan break-up dengan satu, sekarang sudah ada satu lagi.

Very the cepat. Very the super-cepat. Somehow she gets the guys wrapped around her fingers like ribbon.

I wonder what secrets she has. She tries to teach me (I always suspect she was supposed to be born first) but I can't seem to grasp the fundamentals of Girly 101. (Okay, so I take lessons from my YOUNGER sis! Anyone got a problem?????)

Take for example, and I swear this is an actual conversation, no kid, pinky swear, etc etc....

Sis: See, dude, the thing is with guys you gotta go strong with some hints... they very the stupid one... must give strong strong hints only can... short of saying it to their face only. But you can't do that, so it must be subtle AND obvious at the same time.

Me: Hah? Whatchoo mean?

Sis: Like this. If you wanna say 'I like you' must say something like, 'you make me happy', then you must smile and gaze meaningfully into his deep, brown eyes. (Okay I took some liberties with the script, so sue me.) Hints, see? Subtle but obvious.

Me: Hah? Whatchoo mean?

Sis: Aiyo. Take for instance you like someone. Just try to smile at him, make him feel good about himself, spend time with him....hold back a bit sometimes though...

Me*oblivious*: Hah? Whatchoo mean?????? 

Sis: ........................ hopeless. So the hopeless. 

Me: Hah? Whatchoo mean hopeless??

Sis: .......... I give up.

(I was having a particularly goblok moment, and I was distracted by chocolate milk. It wasn't until later that I realised what she was saying. But personally I don't think it works lor.... or does it? (comments on that would be most welcome!))

Then she thwacked me on the head (I thwacked her back) and we discussed her latest BF. 

Her latest squeeze is a rather buff guy. Quite good-looking. Tall. I personally don't find him attractive. Or even remotely funny, though he tries to be.

But he makes her happy, and he is very much in love with her, so thats fine by me. 

Still, like my sis said also: 

Sis: Dude, you are who you are, and f*** any guy who can't accept that.

Sweetest thing she ever said to me, sans profanity. That's why I love my family. They always think there is nothing wrong with me even though there clearly is something wrong. Hahaha.

A-working

Studying for exams is no mean feat, really. You have to ignore the calls of BFME, Sims2, Warcraft.... and then you have to force yourself to keep reading about outdated online features... (the book dates back to 1999, thats so sad) and then when you're done reading you have to face a paper you can't answer.

All in either blazing hot room or freezing cold exam hall.

Worse, you have to turn down potentially lucrative assignments. *sadness*

As if the punchline (exams) isnt' enough of a killer, the pre-punchline (assignments) evokes memories of sleepless nights (quite literally, because I finally pulled my first ALL-nighter. Solid 38 hours of no sleep) and mounting pressure and silent tension.

I hate that one. Silent tension. Can cut the air with a friggin knife I tell you. It hangs in the air like week-old socks. Horrible. 

Glad that its done and over with.

Question of the Day:

Why the HECK can't I turn the Bloody TV on???

Answer: 

Coz Daddy pulled the plug out. 

Bah. Spent 15 minutes panicking that the TV went busted this morning before realising Daddy musta have fiddled around and pulled out the plugs or summat.

Don't make me Super Bark you outta that tree! ~ Bolt.

Before I begin, please indulge me and allow me this silent, virtual squeal.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

SOOOOOOOOOOOO CCCUUUUUUUTTTTTEEEEEE

*ahem*

As you can see from the above picture, I have gone and seen Bolt, the latest Disney offering. After reading that it got some decent reviews from RottenTomatoes, I decided to take my sis to go see it. 

Verdict: Its Goooooooood.

Yes, it is. 

The story begins with Bolt, as a puppy (insert squeal) who is so unbelievably cute that I died right there in the first 3 minutes of the movie from sheer tak-tahan-ness.

I came back when Bolt started defeating evil bad guys; with a super-heat gaze, a Super Bark, superdog-strength, and laser stare. And best is -Bolt actually believes he can do all this, and that his owner, Penny, is really in trouble each time. And every single time, he believes he has saved her from the baddies. Of course, he isnt'. Its just a movie, though Penny does indeed love him.

As you can see, this causes some delusions, which is not helped by the fact that he has never been out of the set of the movie. When one day he finds himself out of the movie set, he is confused, lost and sets off to look for Penny. Throw in a smart-ass cat, a crazy hamster (the hamster goes on to steal the show at some parts) and you got the usual Disney heart-warming qualities, when Bolt finds himself as a true hero at last -and not a made up one.

Won't give any spoilers, but let me say the best parts of the movie are:

1) Bolt. Gila cute. Adorable as heck. 

2) Rhino the hamster. Watch the movie to see what I mean. This is one heckuva hamster.

3) The pacing. Very fast, but without being choppy. Good doses of humour thrown in too -not the kind of slapstick humour, but the good ol' LOL types. There is some sly humour here and there too, which really adds to the script -making it less cheesy and juvenile than any of Disney's recent efforts. 

Some decent animation (ain't got nothing on Pixar, truly) and some nice music, good scripting and it was extremely entertaining. 

I won't compare it to Wall E, or to Ratatouille. Ain't fair on it, coz I think this is Disney's best effort this year. I truly do. 

Worth watching on cinema? You betcha. Worth watching TWICE on cinema? YEAH! I know I would.

But thats coz I love dogs. Nyahaha.

So... in the end: 

Rating: B+  ^^,

This is a fat-ass logo of our Broadcast Journalism news network -Banana TV and Banana FM, under the Banana News Network wing. Just for the fun of it. Nyahaha. 

However, its been a wild ride -but its OVER Ya'll! Its DONE! Its FINISHED!

Whee!

Now for exams. -_-.

 

Study group, anyone?

......am not exactly well, so this pic will have to do as an update

This amazing feat was achieved by the neighbourhood stray about a week or so ago, when I was in J's car with IS and on the way to the LRT. This particular stray is a permanent fixture on the streets of 13/6. He/she (can't remember) has been seen loping around the area every so often. How he/she managed to get up there, I don't know.

Somehow this mutt had an expression on its face that said: Goodbye, cruel world. Of course, it doesn't know its only atop a car. It won't actually perish by jumping off. However, I like to think it was thinking: Well now, nice view up here.

************************************************************************************

As I am writing this, I have a heavy head and an even heavier heart. A Panadol can take care of the first, but the second, I doubt even morphine would do the job. Unless you're talking about a VERY large amount of morphine. But I am being morbid again, aren't I?

I do that, from time to time. Lord knows my family is sick of it.

Anyhows. I seem to have caught the nasty (though not severe) viral fever my dad has. He was down with it for a day or two (the second day I suspect he was already well, except that he was pining for my mom -she's away in Penang) and he has been coughing too. Am keeping myself alert for the slightest tickle in throat -coughs are the worst. Fevers I don't mind so much. But coughs....

Didn't sleep last night, thanks to alternately shivering and sweating.

But work calls.

See you Tuesday guys, for online JR.
