People

I have to confess...

I like observing people...

The little details, the slightest actions, the faintest gestures, the body language; all never stop to amaze me of how special and unique each individual is...

And for one particular person...

I especially enjoy invoking her wrath...
*laughs*

Am I weird?

Humour me...

Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

-Stephen Foster

Kickass

That's the word to describe Fort Minor's latest album 'The Rising Tied'. Mike Shinoda's latest pet project in collaboration with some of his closest mates including Styles of Beyond, Holly Brook, Common, John Legend, Kenna and Black Thought (The Roots), this album is also co-produced by Jay-Z. Talk about bigger names.

What makes the album stand out on its own is the amazingly spot-on fusion of Hip Hop+Electronic+Rock elements that make the songs a relief to the ears. Throw in Mike Shinoda's magical touches...voila...You have a masterpiece in your hands.

My favourites from the album are 'Kenji', 'Remember The Name', 'Where u'd Go', 'Feel Like Home' & "High Road'..After this, I can't wait to get my hands on Linkin' Park's latest album that is rumored to be due next year.

The Rising Tied

Raine Maida & Gary Neville...

Was watching 'The Record Shop' on Channel V this afternoon when I thought I saw Gary Neville (of Manchester United football club mind you), in a music video. Imagine how baffled I was...Can you, i mean can you imagine this: the finest rightback England has ever produced aka. skipper of MU with his don't-you-dare-fuck-around-look, trotting down a lane strumming a fucking guitar? I was staring so hard at my tv screen like "WTF, Gary decided to go solo?!?!"

Until the names of the song and the band which was playing it popped up.
Artist: Our Lady Peace
Title: Angels Loosing Sleep

It was OLP's frontman Raine Maida afterall. Being quite a fan of OLP myself, i was surprised that not once did I notice his resemblance to Gary Neville as this close. It was the long hair and goatee that hid it I guess. Anyway, glad to hear that OLP's finally back with a spanking new album 'Healthy in Paranoid Times'. Rock on dudes!!

Close ay?

*P.S.* Hey apron lady, you'll get your chance.. *laughs*

Lost & found....sorta

The "ancient alcatel", as many of my friends would refer to my phone, has finally decided to loosen itself from my grip and instead chose to dwell among a sea of taxi drivers. (wtf indeed...)

It all happened as C. and I took a cab to Tmn Mayang to collect her repaired car. At that exact moment, I remember thinking "What can possibly be worse after seeing your gf's car all knocked up?". Well, lady luck sure has her ways of making my day.

It was at the petrol station when I was about to fill the car's tank that I groped around my pockets and realized that it was gone. Tried calling and texting my tellie asking whoever found it to return it to me without any real hope that the fucker would anyway. What amused me most was the fact that there was somebody who would actually want an old, faded looking alcatel....now that, doesn't cease to surprise me.

Well, no remorse felt actually cos it's an old phone plus the fact that it has been causing me quite some problems of late, but boy has it served me well during the 2++ years I've been using it.

looking on the bright side, I'll get a brand new tellie come tomorrow ay...

*wink*

Random thoughts

In my short twenty years of life, I've very quickly come to realise that life can be a real bitch; seeing how the world and the people in it work. It made me wary of people and their true intentions behind the masks they wear. Although my stance on life didn't change very much as i grew (the world is still full of bastards and bitches), I learnt to take and appreciate life as it is, learning that worrying, complaining, becoming bitter and etc. etc. would only make matters worse, and us, resentful beings who are blinded by everyday rants. A reason why life, for many people, seem a huge, monstrous bitch. Is this the kind of life worth living where light and joyous moments are seen as never enough and few and far between?

Well, people have their own say when it comes to this and I know a lot of those who suffer a real lot and life ain't exactly kind to them either. But I beg to differ as the point here is, no matter how bad a problem or complication may seem at first glance, things would more often than not, smooth itself out and take a turn for the better...In the meantime, take a deep breath of air, stick your chin out, and look forward to the brighter days...

cheers...


Incubus - 'I Wish You Were Here'

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like
A thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy, happy

I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles
A backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with
My lighter
And in this moment
I am happy, happy

I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here

I, oh

The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
while my hands are
Busy in the air
Saying

I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
I, wish you were here
I wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here

Journey

In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost. Ah, how hard a thing to tell what a wild, and rough, and stubborn wood this was, which in my thought renews the fear!
