Mr. A-Z, or The Musical Hobbit?

When car-pooling Chin back home, we were listening to Jason Mraz's album, "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" and he told me :" You know, Arlene (our drummer) insist that maybe Rock isn't our thing, and that we should do Jazz. I don't mind, since I LOOOOOVE Norah Jones. But I think he meant that we should pursue Folk because he started talking about John Mayer (the blues-y part of folk) and then drifted further away to Orson (solely alternative rock). In the end, I'm cool with Jazz or Folk ( Team Tracy Chapman!!)

Either way, I'm definitely interested on the direction the band is heading. And Chin, for the last time, it's Resonance, certainly NOT Butterfingers! Peace.

Always - Blink 182

Ascorbic acid will never be more annoying

Yeap. It was graduation day. I got up and immediately switched on my radio and played it on shuffle. It gave me... well I don't quite remember. But it was nice and befitting song, I'm sure. Hahaha

Well, today was filled with lots of drama... and photos. I'll keep it short, since I got Bio and History exams tomorrow. It was tears, hugs, more tears, photo sessions, singing to Vitamin C's "Graduation Song (Friends Are Forever)" [as corny as it was], some more drama, group photo shoots, yea... It goes on and on.

Then after that, Chin, Dharsh, Suzie, Kevin, Roger, Gayathri, Li Min, Sam, Lydia and I ate at Food & Tea in TCM. Okay, I'm getting verrry sleeepy now so I'll summarise things.

- the emcee got my name wrong when I was about to get my mock cert
- Sunshine gave me some shocking news (initially)
- Steffi got cramps on both of her feet when in TCM
- Roger Ng and Suzanne Chan killed some patient(s) with me in this Wii game (I think it was "Trauma Knife" or "Trauma Centre" or something like that)
- a kid I played football with got shot square in the nose by Fang Liang ... Very nasty. Massive bleeding. But it's all good. He's okay now
- and my sister just suggested me a prom date. Surprise who... Lucky my mom got my back.

Yeap. That's about it, in a statistical, no-emotions attached sort-of-thing. It's better that way. Still, I can't wait for the pictures!! All 1000+ of them

Don't Worry (Be Happy) - Bobby McFerrin

Cast

Yes! I found another band similar to the now-disbanded Oasis. Unfortunately, the band I'm talking about has disbanded before Oasis did... But they still freaking rock. I'm talking about "Cast", an English rock band from Liverpool. Just like The Beatles!

Noel Gallagher of Oasis described watching the band live as being like a "religious experience"

Here's one of their songs

Cast - She Sun Shines

She opens my eyes, she's all around me
And the brighter you shine, the more she sees you
She sun shines with you

If I can't be free, what am I to be?
If I can't have you, what am I to do?
What am I to do? What am I to be?
What am I to do, if I can't be free?
She opens her eyes, she looks right to me
And this feelin' inside, is what she gives to me
She sun shines with me

If I can't be free, what am I to be?
If I can't have you, what am I to do?

What am I to be? What am I to do?
What am I to be, if I can't have you?

She who takes my hand, she leads the way
She is in my morning, night and day

She opens her eyes, she looks right through me
And this feelin' inside, she gives it to me
She sun shines in me

If I can't be free, what am I to be?
If I can't have you, what am I to do?
What am I to be? What am I to do?
What am I to be, if I can't have you?

If I can't be free - what am I, what am I to be?
Can't have you - what am I, what am
I to do? (can't be free)

As the great MTV says, Britian Bloody Rocks!!

Idol!

Nah, I'm just putting that as my header because I'm wearing the American Idol shirt which I've won from the Kris Allen concert. It's part of the deal I made with my tuition mate, who I'm seeing later today. I won't say she loves Kris Allen, but she admires him a lot. So to commemorate her birthday, which was last saturday, I'm wearing this shirt to please her. See? Who needs to give presents all the time?

On another note, I hate the psychological turmoil I got myself into (refer to last months' anger post, you'll get an idea). I mean we're done, but I still find every little window of time to remind me of her. Hope my parents don't see this (or at least if they do, not talk to me about it. It's the I-need-some-space-to-think-it-through sort of thing).

And Danny, I love the past two post on your blog. I feel happier and more touched now. HAHAHA

And this blog needs more photos... Damn I miss using my desktop. Stupid anti-internet-access virus. Will get it done after SPM. Confirm.

Whatever It Takes - Lifehouse

Viper

The only reason why I'm posting this is for the sole intention of trying to note this (un)eventful ordeal down for as long as this blog exist.

We were enjoying our brand new ice cream that we bought earlier while watching Austin Steven's Adventures on Animal Planet. Who? He's a professional photographer and snake expert (what do you call that, paleontologist?) who travels around the world snapping photos on all different kinds of animals.

This one scene, they were showing him having to be face to face with a Gaboon Viper. He did the usual stuff, extract venom, snap photos and then released the viper.

This was the interesting part. He was on the verge of releasing the head of the snake but warned the crew that it could strike back. My sister was sitting right behind me when that happened. Guess what? The snake striked, with the typical "doom anthem" being played.

My sister, being the sad girl with her slow-mo reflex but killer-quick reactions, she actually THREW the porcelain cup filled with chocolate fudge heaven in her hands to the marbel floor. To no one's surprise, the cup broke into pieces. Not just that, now there's a chip in the marble floor! Damn idiot. I liked that cup.

Sidewinder - Avenged Sevenfold

This just in...

I learnt that Manoj reads my blog... Huh, interesting.

And I just found out that my blog had just surpassed 150 posts. And that took me 4 years to accomplish. Isn't that slow?

One more thing, dancing tango is a giant pain in the hind. Sure, I didn't have to do the fancy lifts and spins, but I find the passion-infused dance to be too hot for me. It's not because of my hormones, I can manage that. It's all the body contact you know... Gives me the heebie-jeebies. Cross my fingers that my dance partner's boyfriend doesn't kill me when he sees us dance to that during prom, before my parents do I mean.

Oh the other hand, I got my English results back. Yes, I'm omitting the mention of the other 8 papers just cause I don't wanna talk about them, and because I haven't got them all yet. I wrote an essay for my late grandfather who sadly passed away last year and while writing that essay, I swore I nearly broke down in my classroom 3 times. Luckily, I managed to suck it in and focus. Pn. Shaja wrote one simple, short and sweet line at the bottom of my paper in red ink. It said: "Well done, you have successfully immortalised your grandfather in this essay!"

I was elated. I was finally able to give my grandfather the recognition he truly deserves, although I didn't have time to add everything about him in the essay.

Hopefully, I'll get the chance to type everything down for everyone else to see. And maybe someday, my kids and their kids will learn more about their roots. I gotta do that someday... Retracing my roots, I mean. Well, it's almost time for football. So, signing off.

Chasing Pirates-Norah Jones

Warmness

The tennis court at my field now looks like it's from Mars since they added extra spotlights and changed all the light bulbs to "warm light" instead... Freak-tastic

Vultures-John Mayer

Untitled

Sorry, no idea what to put as a header to this post. Lacking some creativity lately... Band practice was super. We jammed to our prom numbers and also some extra fun like AC/DC's "Back In Black" and Guns N' Roses's "Sweet Child O' Mine", with Kevin and I screaming in utter vain in a bid to beat Axl Rose's messed up (in a good way, I mean) vocals.

Now blogging at 5.55 a.m. while watching the Spain-Lithuania game. Why so early? Well my sister has developed a highly inclining interest on Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, which means more computer hogging than EVER before. Period.

The odd thing is that NO ONE, or as far as my intel goes, actually reads the manga enough to influence her. Not to sound too skeptical, but I think she's reading it for the hormonal relief. No diggity.

I bet that she'll choke me with the pillow in my sleep if she were to see this post, which may give me the odds of surviving the next month(s) of 100 gazillion begillion/1, since she doesn't bother checking this mundane thing of a blog. Maybe my mom will though...

When recalling AC/DC's music, I had a sudden weird idea to put in my lyrics bank. It's just one line though...

I rather take a shotgun wedding than have a six-shooter showdown with you

Odd much? Could've done better? Oh well.

3 a.m.-Matchbox 20

Basically...

Arghh I still can't keep my head in the game as the past still creeps into my mind... I nearly fell apart during the trial examinations. Gotta get myself together, man. Craaap

Another Kate Nash rendition. She's such a brilliant artist. Absolute musical talent. And we can all relate so much to it, with a change of perspective, of course...

Gotta post this quick! My com hogger sister wants to continue reading her new-found waste of time activity: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. I have nothing against the manga, don't get me wrong. She's my problem. I can't even have a decent amount of time on Facebook.

And those spammers on my comment box are getting annoying...

Nicest Thing - Kate Nash

All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something

I wish I was your favourite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style

I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you'd always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never forget
The look on my face when we first met

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three

I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something

Bloom

Just a short, yet incredibly good quote

The more of what you can tell about what you see, the more obscure the meaning behind the image.

-Penelope (Rachel Weiss), Brothers Bloom-

Now, isn't she an amazing person? In the movie, I mean.
