Springy


1 week and 4 minutes later:
Springy! :D

but it's still feeling cold some days. :(

but still! at least the flowers are here. hahaha.





Currently Listening To: Stop This Song (Love Sick Melody) - Paramore

Music Influences Part 3

so, since i've got nth to do, (yeah right. i got emails to reply. but not really in the mood la. k la. maybe after this. haha.) decided to continue where i left off here.

The Rocket Summer - Do You Feel

this band definitely goes under feel good and happy songs category. i mean. k la most their songs. it's like a happy feeling about it. dunno la. very nice to listen. i feel like smiling la. happy songs basically la. k i'm talking in circles now. anyway, i remember that Julian intro-ed this band to me like online. cuz he was like addicted to the band at one point of time. so he was spreading his addiction. which turned out good for me la. cuz now i can enjoy their music. haha. got like a few songs then i decided to get their whole album since Break It Out and So Much Love from the album sounded good.
First Song Heard: So Much Love

Simple Plan - Still Not Getting Any...

k this band as i recall was from my elder sister who said their first video from their first album was funny and i should watch it when i can. i think i also heard them on the radio first. i have this album cuz of my youger sis who went and bought this CD. who knows la why she bought at that time. but anyway, i listened to the CD and i think it's actually a really good CD la. the songs are all pretty good and nice to listen to.
First Song Heard: I'm Just A Kid [No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls]

Sound The Alarm - Sound The Alarm EP

k this band i totally found on my own. haha. i was like listening to music online then i was like hmm. k let's try and listen to this song from this band. and i was oooo not bad. cool. so i got the song la. then got this album. which is just ok ok only la. cept that one song i like. trying to look for the new album of thiers. but can't find ANYWHERE. :( haih.
First Song Heard: Suffocating

Sugarcult - Lights Out

heh. this band first heard of them from Beccy Choy. cuz she was trying to find the lyrics to one of their songs on her (now non-existant) blog. so i also go cari la. then i got the song and got a few other song and i liked them la. so then this album came out so why not la get it. it's not bad la. nothing great i guess. but a ok listen.
First Song Heard: Memory [Palm Trees and Power Lines]


Sum 41 - Chuck, Underclass Hero

k this band i think i saw thier video on MTV la one day. and yeah it was a catchy song. so went off to get it. then when Chuck came out it was like their emo emo style music. and it was like quite cool la. plus i grew a liking for them already la. then went for Youth Camp, i remember Peter telling me to get the Chuck album. so yeah i finally got it. it's pretty good la. emo and all. Underclass Hero is like totally diff from that. it's more fun fun jumpy rock songs. more political and all that. more than Chuck la. but UH was like all the songs sounded similar. didn't really like that la. but some songs were still not bad la.
First Song Heard: Hell Song [Does This Look Infected?]

Switchfoot - The Legend Of Chin, New Way To Be Human, Learning To Breathe, The Beautiful Letdown, Nothing Is Sound, Oh! Gravity.

heh. this band. dunno what to say la. they're pretty much like awesome la. their concert also was the bomb. sooooo cool. and soooooooooooooooooooooo worth it! :D haha! their songs are ... hayoo all are nice la. relaxing in some way. and their guitar stuff is cool too. prob one reason why i like them. haha. anyway, i believe this band was another MTV found band. i think i saw them on MTV then only i realised the existence of the band. haha. i think if i had to choose a best album it'll have to be between The Beautiful Letdown or Nothing Is Sound. quite hard to choose between the two.
First Song Heard: Meant To Live [The Beautiful Letdown]

Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends, Where You Want To Be, Louder Now, Louder Now: Part Two

comes to one of the most power bands ever. haha. k i like had them on my comp since like forever but never bothered to listen to them. and the song's i had at that time also was put on my comp thx to Sara Anne. so she intro-ed the band to me. haha. and then one faithful day when i was emoing, i listen to one of their songs and all the lyrics made sense and could be applied to my life at the time. and i jus fell in love with them. their best album is still Louder Now i reckon. the Part 2 of Louder Now was also a good listen. cuz it shows how awesome they are live. haha.
First Song Heard: Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team) [Tell All Your Friends]

Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds, Ocean Avenue, Paper Walls


this band rocks. just like their website url says they do. haha. this band was found by watching MTV again. i was like wow. their song rocks. like really. plus they have a violinist also. how cool is that?? haha. their guitars also sound cool in their songs la. so even more i like. the video also cool. so how la not to like. i think one of their cool videos which is a must watch is Rough Landing Holly. and their best album i think is... erm hard to choose la. all albums got pros and cons. all are good la actually. haha. get them all! :D
First Song Heard: Ocean Avenue [Ocean Avenue]


oKKAAAIII. so i'm finally done. k not really. cuz i know i like downloaded at least 5 albums that are before the letter R. but yeah. kinda malas to do di. but i wanted to finish this cuz at least i got some way of remembering how i know these bands. haha.

finish! :D

The orange was then thrown out the window and it broke like glass into pieces. Unfortunately no footage could be provided cuz everyone was crowding around the window. :(

Touching LN


LN Eraser


as u see in the video, jus as my friend was abt to throw in on the ground, the thing exploded in his hand and into a few pieces. must be the heat from his hand la. haha. u can't really see, but it's as hard as rock. later it went back to it's rubberyness. haha.

finally!

LN Snickers! :D


it was ok la. not that great taste. i burnt my fingers trying to take a piece cuz i touched some LN. yea it burns ur skin. but still all good.

oh and in the room next to mine, they froze a banana. and then they used it as a hammer. cuz it was so hard. and they hit a nail into a piece of wood. until the banana broke. haha!

AND! cuz of playing with it. i didn't manage to finish my lab report. :( ish.

but it was still fun la. haha!

Sometimes

sometimes...

i don't think we should just agree that something done is great or awesome or nice just because it's our friend who did something.

the only reason to give such approval should be because you truly feel that way about the something done.

sorry, but i won't say something you did is nice or great or awesome unless i really feel that way.

and i don't think it's my problem if you have a problem handling the truth.

thx

Cannot Tahan!

really la. it's annoying. sudd only wanna masuk minda. too much. ish.

k first of all i see no reason to. whatever that's different is only the things that make it worse.

and everyone knows that the truth will never come out in any conversation. just all the nice to hear stuffs will come out. what kinda convo is that? i'm not some small kid who wants good stuffs to hear. i think i deserve the truth right? hmm.

and pfffft. i don't want to do anything that's the easy way for you.

and there's def a reason behind this. something must have happened. what i guess is that some fight with someone is going on. and there's noone else as usual. that's why i'm the choice now.

so annoying la! i'm trying so hard not to think about all this. i don't have the time now and i don't even want to.

macam la so susah to know what's the right thing to do. i can't believe some people are sooo blur. haih.

haih. looks like with this post i broke my long streak of not wanting to say anything here.

but i can't tahan di. just had to. it's been bugging me too much.

i guess you got your answer in a way.

Su Teng is right, i'm way too nice to ppl i shouldn't be nice to.

haih.

Blinded By Truth


we blind ourselves,
when it stands before our eyes,
for it is often easier
to cradle our daily lies.


photo & quote by lorrainemd

Currently Listening To: All We Are - OneRepublic

Can You Handle The Truth?


interesting question from the tag i believe. but what does it mean?

well, to me, i guess it's when people tell you the truth, can you accept it? and i guess when we're talking about truth here, i guess it means facts. like pure facts.

some truths are opinion based too. like just say person A doesn't like person B's shirt, so the truth in this case is simply person B's shirt doesn't appeal to person A's taste. but this is just for person A. some other person may have a different opinion. but it's still the truth that person A doesn't like the shirt.

so those are truths. facts i guess. so the question can you handle the truth basically asks if you can accept facts. even if you don't like it.

but is it bad if you can't accept the truth?

i don't know actually. i guess it would be natural if some certain stuff you couldn't accept. for example, if person B disagrees with person A about the shirt. does that mean that person B can't accept the truth?

no, i don't think so at least. because that's an opinion based truth and not a universal truth. what may be ugly in someone's view may be beautiful to someone else.

and i guess it's fine too when you don't like the truth as well. i mean at least you accept it. but doesn't mean you have to like it.

and i guess in a case where the truth can't be accepted in times where the news is shocking, out of the blue, is also a special case too. something like, you find out your friend you just had a drink with just passed away, and well, it'd be hard to believe wouldn't it? but does that fall under not accepting the truth? well, i guess it does, but i believe it's not wrong in itself because the truth in this case is shocking.


so when is not being able to handle the truth a bad thing?

well, honestly, who am i to say, but i guess the only logical time would be when it's facts and it's not opinion based and it's not shocking. i guess an example would be someone telling that smoking is bad for you. hey, it's a known fact and it's not opinion based and not shocking. but you deny it, saying you can't live without it. because you've grown addicted to it. and you refuse to believe the truth. this is when i would say you can't handle the truth.

i guess what i'm trying to say is when someone tells you the TRUTH, will you shove it aside because it's not what you wanna hear? even when it's right and true. will you throw it out the window because it is true and you don't want to hear it?

thats when you can't handle the truth.

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

rubbish la. why i can't type so much like this for my formal report?? ish ish. seriously la. when it comes to talking rubbish that doesn't make sense (yeah i don't think it makes sense cuz i look back and wonder what rubbish i'm trying to say. i confuse myself. skill la. haha!) i can do that very well. nonsense la. haha.

What Happened To 4 Years?

apparently i missed the date of my 4 years of blogging. which was 24th July. sheesh. blur. i checked back last year and saw the post. and it had some interesting things to read. not bad la. i still find it interesting and some also quite true. k most of it ture. k prob like almost nothing is not true. haha! anyway here it is.

here's smth i got from Blog hopping and found on Suneel's blog. found it quite interesting.



You might agree with
it, but when it actually happens 96%
of girls don't realize it 'till it is
too late and that guy who did it is so
frustrated that he has moved on to
someone who will take notice.

From a guys point of view:

We don't care if you talk to other
guys.

We don't care if you're friends with
other guys.

But when you're sitting next to us, and
some random guy walks into the room and
you jump up and tackle him, without
even introducing us, yeah, it pisses
us off.

It doesn't help if you sit there and
talk to him for ten minutes without
even acknowledging the fact that we're
still there.

We don't care if a guy calls you, but
at 2 in the morning we do get a little
concerned.

Nothing is that important at 2 a.m.
that it can't wait till the morning.

Also, when we tell you you're pretty/
beautiful/ gorgeous/cute/stunning, we
freaking mean it.

Don't tell us we're wrong.

We'll stop trying to convince you.

One of the sexiest thing about a girl
is her confidence.
Yeah, you can quote me.

Don't be mad when we hold the door
open.
Take Advantage of the mood I'm in.

let us pay for you! don't "feel bad"
about it

We enjoy doing it. It's expected.

Smile and say "thank you."

But sometimes we like it the Dutch way.

Kiss us when no one's watching.

If you kiss us when you know somebody's
looking, we'll be more impressed.

You don't have to get dressed up for
us.

If we're going out with you in the
first place, you don't have to feel
the need to wear the shortest skirt
you have or put on every kind of
makeup you own.

We like you for who you are and not
what you are.

honestly, i think a girl looks more
beautiful when she's just in her pj's.
or my t shirt and boxers, not all
dolled up

Don't take everything we say seriously.

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the
beauty in it.

Don't get angry easily.

Stop using magazines/media as your
bible.

Don't talk about how hott Morris
Chesnutt, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney
is in front of us.

It's boring, and we don't care. You
have girlfriends for that.

Whatever happened to the word
"handsome"/"beautiful"

Girls, I cannot stress this enough:if
you aren't being treated right by a
guy, don't wait for him to
change.ditch him.
sorry,,disgrace to the male population
ass and find someone who will treat you
with utter respect.

Someone who will honor your morals.

Someone who will make you smile when
you're at your lowest.

Someone who will care for you even when
you make mistakes.

Someone who will love you, no matter
how bad you make them feel, or what
you do.

Someone who will stop what theyre doing
just to look you in the eyes....and say
"i love you" ..and actually mean it.

Give the nice guys a chance


enjoy bacaing!

i shud go. hungry. didn't eat lunch today. fat di. ish.

Talk To Me!


k like not seriously la.it's just a title. don't get carried away.

ANYWAY, i realised that for some reason, i just don't initiate conversation. i'm most likely the person who will add in the convo or stuff. i hardly even say hi to anyone on MSN. like seriously. i'm sure all the ppl who msg me online prob would have noticed this.

dunno why la. anti-socialism la i think. seriously. but the thing is, it's not like i don't like to talk la. i mean, i see myself and i think i can talk la. cept i won't be the one to start talking.

For example, apparently i haven't called home for like 2 months (according to my mom la). so that day my mom called me la. and k first of all i didn't call cuz like i got nth to say la. and kinda malas also. but then when my mom called, then sudd only got things to say and things to talk abt. like really. then when my mom wanted to say bye i was like alah, too much so fast wanna go di. haaha. padahal i'm the one that din wanna talk in the first place.

Mercy




Angel of mercy
How did you find me?
Where did you read my story?
Pulled from the papers
Desperate and hardened
seeking a moment every fix

All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
Its all my fault now
A Tradegy I fear

Angel of mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Into the mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa

Before just the daylight
Come and i stand by
Waiting to catch the quickest plane
Flying to nowhere
Is better than somewhere
That's where i've been and nothing's changed

All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
Its all my fault now
A Tragedy for sure

Angel of mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Into the mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

Whoa
I feel you
Whoa

Im so lost in you
A tredgy seemed to be over now
A tradegy it seemed to be

Angel of mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Into the mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

whoa
I feel you
Whoa
I feel you
Oh Whoa
I feel you
Oh Oh Oh

I Love Constantly Amazing Myself

i think thats the good thing about setting low standards. when u overcome ur standards u feel really good about urself. i mean i've seriously been doing this a lot to myself. esp in my guitaring.

there was once i could play Minority by Green Day by plucking it with my fingers and i could do it really fast and i was amazed at myself. then i saw Billie Joe Amstrong play it live by just plucking with a pick and hitting every note accurately, i was like too much! thats hard! but then in the end i pushed myself and managed to get it with plucking with a pick as well. i was pretty happy with myself esp when i managed to amaze some ppl by plucking it with a pick. haha. so yea i was happy then. BUT then i saw the fella in another live video JUMPING and playing with a pick. thats even more too much! but yet again after, actually not much practice i could do it also. so once again i amazed myself.

then there was like Hillsong's All Day. to me i thought it was pretty impossible to play the bass line and sing. but then after MUCH OH SO MUCH trying to multi task and concentrate, managed to do it also. and amazed myself once again. did the same for Green Day's Warning bass.

then came Taking Back Sunday's song Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team). once again i said the lead guitarist is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. and he mmg still is way too much la. i mean seriously. palm muting? and plucking soloish bits? and singing?? AWWWW TOO MUCH MAN. seriously. so had to practice la. first of all playing that part i found it really hard for some reason. my fingers i guess are not that fast enough la.dah la palm mute means cannot really move so much. so fine la. practiced til i got that part right. then after a lot of practice again, managed to get the singing and playing also. MAN i was sooooooooooo impressed with myself. i watched like ALL the YouTube vids of ppl who covered that song, and NONE of the guitarist who played that part cud sing the parts the TBS guitarist sang and played. they always got someone else to sing. so lagi lah bangga. haha. man this was like the peak of feeling awesome about myself. haha!

then so ya la. managed to learn the singing and playing part. but then, there was like still one part of guitaring which i always avoid. and that's soloing. cuz i honestly feel like i can't do it. some of them are just way too fast la. so i don't bother trying. but then came Good Charlotte with the song The River. and the solo is played by Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Synyster Gates. so yea. it's a bit hard. but somehow la, i wanted to play this song fully. so practiced again and finally got the solo bit. once again i amazed myself. my first solo! and it was pretty not bad solo also. bot like crazy fast but not like super easy also. so yea was quite proud of my awesomeness.

then there was Hysteria by Muse. pffffffftttt. listen also i will say rubbish. watching Josiah play also i can see it's fast and i can't do it. but practice practice, in the end dapat! HAPPY LAGI! :D hahahaha.

and finally my most recent one is Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers. that song is HARAM FAST. like seriously! i say the guy play and tried to play a bit, and i told myself no way. dah la my fingers are huge. how to move so fast?? and then the finger positions also damn weird. pffftt dunno la how. but then, after much practice again, dapat! wah damn happy la now and amazed at myself. haha.

SO ANYWAY, the moral of the story is, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. and NEVER GIVE UP EVEN IF THINGS LOOK TOUGH. and DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY THINGS THAT LOOK HARD AND DIFFERENT.

oh and i think i'm pretty amazing too. :D
