You know something is funky.. when you get a response to your MSN personal message the next day. and that person isn't on your contact list.







You know it's even funkier. when you spend days absolutely nothing, having a great time partying and lazing in front of the computer cuz deep down you feel something's missing. and you found that something the next day.







No it's weirder. it found you instead. in fact, it was always there.







it was more than a response to my personal message.







it was a wake up call.

Why do we take the freedom that we have for granted?

lethal industry

Shit I can't believe the weekend just flew by. What I thought was 48 hours of madness eventually came to an end.. and thanks to The Star and Kosmo, the perimeter of my parental gravity has just been extended.


Yes. They took away my rave parties. not to mention there's xlive festival @ genting this weekend..


SERIOUSLY! How can paranoia be so damn infectious??!! It's fine if you take away this weekend's rave or the next few ones but please let me go for Global Gathering in November.. BUT EVEN A CLASS TRIP WITH MY FRIENDS TO PERHENTIAN?!?!?!

rawr. Here's what it sounds like.

"Hey erm I'm going to Perhentian with my friends this coming June a.. Marcus, Jason, Siew Mei, Mel, Yuhhui, Khong, Han Sheng.. my old school friends. Never see them for some time d. so yeah"

"Har? why you wanna go this kinda places? this south china sea.. you never read the news a? nowadays so many things happening still wanna go this kinda places.."

yah and after freedom festival it was more like..

*wakes up and check mail and forums to hope for pics from freedom festival*

"eh you read the papers today a? you never kena lockup a?"

*wtf?*

"this kinda places next time better not go i tell you."

"... those ppl kena lockup cuz they had reasons to be locked up, they were under the influence"

"ya but if got lockup and all this means something wrong with this kinda places adi.. next time better not go i tell you.."

the man said almost the same thing except..

"eh you never kena lockup a? why this kinda places also you wanna go wan? u never see the police a?? ppl innocent doesnt mean you innocent k!! you get caught how?"

*quite frus*"the police are there to make sure everything is safe so if they apprehended ppl they did the right thing la! i didnt kena cuz i waited for everyone to slowly walk out then oni i ciao ma.."

"but still this kind of place better not go i tell you."


yah. better not go wei. i quote my buddy from MASH.


"In that Kosmo, I kinda find it biased, cuz they fail to mention the rest of the crowd there. Its like the Caucasians are the only ones with skimpy clothes. LOL, thats what u get from the general media.

Also 30 ppl out of the 10k ppl got arrested for abusive substance, so that makes the whole 10k bad? so if Lingam takes bribe, does that also means all the ppl in Prime Minister Dept. takes bribe? We have a very funny government." - eZdZ


first of all, it's a party by the beach. don't tell me you're gonna wear jeans to party? no offense to the ppl wearing jeans.. dress code should be : less is more! just think practical and comfort wise doh.

mind you. that pic that was altered with mosaic censorship? it was just her cleavage la. so even that is not allowed? geez. I really hope this isn't the start of a new PAS era like what they did to Terengganu.. beautiful city, beautiful islands but screwed up management.

anyways, enough of these stereotypical single track minds. hopefully my parents will give a different answer about the perhentian thing. as for Xlive... no hope d gua wahahha.

PS: Debra, really sorry I ffk-ed for Marie Digby. Had a long day browsing musical instruments.. quite fun hehehe. A bit tired so I chilled at home instead.. I can't imagine looking forward to Marie's soothing tunes when everyone else around me is squeezing and trying to get closer to her in that GAP outlet.. so yeah. Maybe A-levels ball?

BYE!



I'LL BE OFF PARTYING WITH TIESTO, FERRY AND COSMIC GATE!!!









Back on Sunday. Along with my sanity.

Yo yo yo yo what's been up peopleee~

Sorry a bit hyper as you can tell today marks the end of my exams, well not now actually but yeah, in bout 5 more hours. And I'm supposed to collect my tickets to freedom from Sebastian, some dude from Fly FM..

To be honest, it's been quite an exam and it really bothers me to know that it's really almost impossible for me to pass half of the exam papers that I sat for. But what else can I do... sigh.

Sure, there's a lot of other options out there.. but don't forget the conventional parents. Do they really know what goes on inside here?

Nah I don't think so. Then again I shouldn't be asking too much. I'm just thankful.

3 more sleeps rockers. I really can't wait.

And mom if you ever read this..

Happy Mother's Day in advance :D

the price to pay...

IS TERTEEFORFIFTEE!!

Actually i also dono what's the price to pay. Until today. Maths was gruesome. Starting to think if I'm on the right boat..

On the other hand I wanted to try something funky today. Decided to look for my fugly shuffling videos online by typing 'cheezzzz' into youtube's search field and.. it wasn't me on the most relevant result!



Wtf beautacious123. That's like some beautiful delicious hybridatus (wtf?).

And who the heck actually uses the term cheez, not to mention with FOUR Zs?!?!



is it worth the freedom?

2 Corinthians 9:8

First of all a shoutout to the loyal readers of my blog!! (sif I had any..)

Right. Anyways, how y'all doing. The games officially begin tomorrow, kicking off with English for Engineering. I am still on hiatus. But I just realised that if I don't share that means I don't care.

Share whatlaaa. Somebody gave me two free tickets to 2 Days of Freedom @ Admiral Marina, Port Dickson!! Wat is this 2 days thing...


It's a rave party la! featuring awesome acts like Tiesto, Ferry Corsten and Cosmic Gate YO!! And for the first time ever, it's TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW! I would love to go on being descriptive about the DJs but I need my sleep. And oh happy birthday Caleb. Heh.

Oh right. I almost forgot. Thanks FLY FM! I mean, thanks Jesus!

thur-rific.

Blogging daily isn't as easy it seems now I know.. some of you may have noticed whereas the rest of the world couldn't be bothered that wicked wednesday #3 was not posted..

No it's not in my drafts. I'm just damn disorientated now. With less than a week to go till my finals wtf am I still doing?

Thanks for dropping by my blog guys, it really means a lot to me. From the tone of this post you can tell I've got my one way ticket to hiatus street.

hysteria

About that entry about my aunt's housewarming, it'll just have to wait. Though I have good news that my com is up and running again! AWESOMEEE.

Anyways, I don't know if you guys ever experience what I do when I see people I know on the media and go like "EH I KNOW THAT GUY/GIRL!" *jumps up and down in excitement* okay maybe without the excessive excitement..

Sometimes you can't help but just feel a weee bit jealous of these people don't you think?


Okay I don't know KennySia personally but... I DO KNOW WHO THIS IS.



I know you're popular la Shaz... but an advertisement taking up an entire page of The Star??? Anyways, it's a great pic and yes I'm a big jakun. *reverts back to human*

Eh who the _(#*!@_# wrote this entry?

do or die? die by doing tho..

Again, to those looking forward to an interesting post by me, I apologize. However, there are reasons to why I may not be able to continue my sudden-outburst-blogging-streak.

1. I've a lot to catchup with.
My study break just (legally) began actually and being the awesome student I am, I can never seem to keep up with my syllabus. The best part is exam starts on the 23rd of April! AWESOME. And I have like.. 5 subjects (excluding English)? Thermodynamics, Material Science, Maths, Statics and Principles of Electric and Electronics.. Awesome right.. exams end on the 6th of May - followed by TIESTO ON THE 8TH AND 9TH WOOhoOOOOO~

It doesn't stop there. I'm attending camp today, sleeping over for the night. Then tomorrow got church worship practice in the afternoon, Trance Party @ Central Park in the evening which clashes with Planetshakers @ FGA KL which also clashes with malam kebudayaan of our keahlian camp.. Isn't it just great how we can only be at one place at a time?

2. I actually favour Facebook over my own blog.
Yes it's true. I seem to enjoy poker and mob wars over my own blog. hah. Yes I'm very sad. playing with facebook games instead of blogging and GETTING A LIFE.

3. I have no mood wth?
Yeah really la. Sometimes after that LOOOOOONG DAY of studying at the LIBRARYYY~ all you really want is just a bed to lie on, friends to play games with (i.e. ultimate) and someone to tell you that they really love you wtf?

4.

5. *Ranting is better than blogging!
Wayyyy better lorh. This isn't even a post to begin with! It's a complete rant! So why blog when you can rant? Vent your boredom and stoner-ism by ranting today! *Terms and conditions apply.

wicked wednesday #2

Hmm. I realised there's a backdated post. My aunt's housewarming ceremony in Penang. Just moved in to an awesome high-end condo - Gurney 11, which is on your right if you stay in Gurney Hotel.. facing the sea that is.

Anyways, I don't really recall much.. but I do hope the pictures will be able to trigger some thoughts.

*POST TO BE CONTINUED WHEN MY COM IS BACK*

Sorry for the turbulence.. actually my com IS back already, it's just that it kept hanging.. even after that repair that cost about 300 bucks.. fix everything still got problem.. hard disk going to be corrupted soon.. so until things get any better.. this is yours truly filling in for WICKED WEDNESDAY~~ heh.

stuck

like what I am now. like my fingers onto my keyboard. like my eyes unto this idiot box.

stuck is me wandering around only to realise that I'm back at square one.

For some reason I have just spent the half an hour in front of my own blog, not even considering to blog (but thank God here I am doing it right now). What is this momentary idleness? Building castles in the air, being in 7th heaven, riding your ponies, counting your sheeps - daydreaming (wait sheep counting is sleeping..).

Anyway, what a funny feeling or moment or whateverjazzitmaybe. Though there's a negative feel within right now..

forget it.whyisitalwaysyourresponsibility.whoseisitthen.youshouldknowbetter.

wicked wednesday

I'm blogging again! weeeeeeeeeee~ okay I admit it feels really good to blog so often again :D but sure there are people asking..

Q: Eh you got nothing better to do everyday but blog?
A: NO. I DO have better things to do in life, blogging is just one of them.

Q: Whatever happened to picture posts? And what's been happening in your life la?
A: My camera died okay. Brilliantly I took upclose shots of waves in Redang one year back which killed my A430. A lot of things happening in my life - I've got friends that are happening.. happening events going on.. honestly maybe I've not been meeting up with people except uni friends, or even when I do I hardly make a record out of it, take pictures etc..

Q: So why bother blogging about other stuff, I mean a blog is about your life isn't it?
A: Yes it is about my life. Life is about making choices. I choose to blog about my passion, what I enjoy doing :D and once in awhile, hopefully, I'll blog about my life (when I get a new cam).

Q: What makes you think people will bother reading this?
A: Nothing. I'm just pen-ing my thoughts down. It's like when you get this awesome tune in your head you HAVE to write a song or at least record yourself humming the.. ok NVM I don't think any of you know what I'm talking about..

Oh, I've decided to upgrade my fortnightly habit of blogging to a weekly thing! and this is the first of it! It's titled Wicked Wednesday (sue me again for being cheesy). Anyways, here goes!


Taking Back Sunday. The Starting Line. Mae. Motion City Soundtrack. Relient K. Sound familiar? No? Then try youtube-ing them. You'll like what you hear :D If you're a fan of the aforementioned artists, you will love sceneatthemovies.

Who are these people? Yup, my thoughts exactly when I first heard one of their tracks, Sunsets and Sketches. What kind of music is this? Honestly, it's what I call uplifting/electic or 'driving' music. Think Fall Out Boy, Story of The Year.. spinning with their guitars, excessive jumping and prancing around on stage with absolutely euphoric tunes. Ok.. that's nice, but what do they really sound like? Glad you asked. Click on the picture above or visit this site - Garagebands.

Hey you haven't answered my first question! Who are these people?!?! Okay hopefully by the time you get to here you've heard at least one of their tracks. Sceneatthemovies are Rohan (bass + vocals), David (drums) and Dharen (guitar + vocals). The rest of the band's history lies in their myspace. Formerly known as Keepers Arms, the trio started out as an acoustic army of three and slowly progressed to become what they are today - sceneatthemovies.

Is this one of your cheap efforts to promote something else so you can get more hits? Er no. I'm actually very fkin amazed by sceneatthemovies. I love euphoric stuff, stuff that touch your core. What more to write music like this - it's like a dream. And they made it a reality! I suppose you can say this is my favourite local band, along the others like Aural Joint :D

My opinion : Anyone and everyone should check them out, even if you don't know the bands listed above. Malaysian music at its best. This is just a beginning of the euphoric movement.

And the cheez-o-meter gives a 5 out of 5. For

I actually wanted to give my reasons for choosing each friend respectively but.. if I had these 3 on a deserted island I would say I'm pretty darn blessed. 4 of us can build a tent together - Jon Ming will tell jokes of the days-to-come that will make a deserted island feel so down to earth as if you were at home (or we can practise forehand and backhand throws too XD), Huey and I go wayy back and still we keep in touch so yeah.. Elisa would probably kill me for causing her to be stranded with me but she has this ability to turn almost everything hilarious (like Domino's wat the heck?!).

Wooooiiiii fakerrr how you know KL like I know my name wan!! Yes this post goes out to you Tsong. And you wouldn't want to know the aftermath of the chilli we had at the beef ball stall in Alor.

"... as long as we still have fun whenever we go outla.. don care close or not.. if you're not so conscious about how long you've been away from each other, then only will you realise how close you still are =D"

Stop thinking. Don't stop to stop and stare. Just move along.

WOOHOOO! Fortnightly update! Very good cheez! Keep it up! Slowly but surely, that's the way =D

Really la guys, to me it's quite an achievement so please don't misunderstand. Anyways, I'm filling in on behalf of my late PC, which is currently serviced by my cousinnnnn~~~ LOL. *returns from a moment of hysterical laughter*

OMG. THIS SHOW IS NOW ON AIR. THE SERIES.


I SWEAR I KNEW WHAT IT WAS WHEN I HEARD THE OPENING SONG ROFLLLL!!!

This is 100% spontaneous blogging and I kid you not. Bugger this picture does too much justice for the actual movie wei.. and I really can't believe I watched it with my bro and cousin.. the only good thing about it is the cars, which are actually used by local drifters.. other than that it was and still is a joke to us..

Anyways, went back to HELP the other day cuz Tsong and I were feeling nostalgic. I think. Also attended the charity auction, which was a choice we made over Colbie Cailat (not like we really had tickets to Colbie anyway). Was great to see DU ppl there again =D and props to Jason for being such a killer auctioneer (hope I got it right) ! Thanks to that I'm dam hooked on to Janet Jackson's Feedback.. bluddy awesome dance track..


Speedzone calls. Guitar is ringing. Soundtrack of my summer. Exam beckons. Blardy random.

Yes. Time is running out. So fast, faster than the tickets being sold out at the Malaysian Airlines Travel Fair, faster than girls who rush in to Zara the moment the 80% sale starts. Fast and furious, yes it is. Life is good? Erm.. yeah it is! just hectic! IMSOFREAKINGSLEEPYWTHHH.

Anyways, thanks Chris, you got me blogging. Wow. 9th wonder of the world wei, 8th belongs to karpe-dm lawl. Check him out at his myspace, Karpe-dm (Carpe Diem = Sieze the Moment).

As promised, santa was a lil gracious during christmas but sadly those toys weren't for me to keep X.X though I had the chance to run through these babies to know what I want in a g.. GREAT GUITAR EFFECT PEDAL.

Yeah.

Kevin's (Kevin Lim, not Tan) monster rack! Eat you then oni u noe.

Wait for those who do NOT know what a guitar effect pedal does, it's actually a pedal, that creates different effects to be output through the amp. Distortion, phaser, flanger, chorus, wah, acoustic simulator just to name a few. So I was lucky enough to have Kevin's kick ass arsenal lent to me for a day to mess around with =D

Boss XT-2 Xtortion.
Honestly I dunno why it's called Xtortion, sounds so aggressive. Ah.. maybe that's why.. This pedal delivers a nu-metal solid distortion sound. Linkin park and POD-ish distortion.. Oh yeah, this was bestowed upon Kevin from Michael of AskMeAgain. Uber awesome band.

Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter.
This is one heckuva toy. It gives that space travel effect, a reaallly funky electronic effect, a really phasy... shifty.. phase shifting effect! Really lost for words for this pedal, you've gotta try it to enjoy it! Bought it for 3-4xx didn't you Kev?

Lazer Metal Rocker.
One of Kevin's first few pedals. Uber high gain distortion that sounds like the guitar's about to be torn into shreds. Perfect for those pinch harmonics.

Zoom 505.
This is CLASSIC seriously. WTF IS MY CAM STRING DOING THERE. Anyways, this was Wei Luen's pedal, till he moved on to more analog pedals and decided to give this white elephant to Kev. A multi-effects pedal which imho gives anyone from beginner to intermediate level more than enough guitar effects to mess around with. Mind you it's digital and it's made in Japan so don't expect the best quality in every effect it produces.

That's it for now. Though I do have more to share about my life.. but Irlyhavtogoseriouslybb.

Seriously. I need time.

PS: SPEEDZONE TOUR 2008 IS HERE! MARCH 22nd! TIESTO IS COMING BACK TO MALAYSIA THIS MAY! Stay tuned.

OH! GRAVITY

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Pretty self explanatory don't you think?

PS: Wanted to post up a follow-up post to my previous brief post.. but THIS CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE! SWITCHFOOT IS ACTUALLY COMING TO MALAYSIA~~~ X.X

GIMME THE TICKETS!
