Wednesday, March 30, 200512:48 AMcurrent music : Staind - It's Been A While just came back from Simple Plan's concert. it was good, very worth the rm100 i paid :D they played for ages, and gave an encore of 3 songs, which i thought was very nice of them since most bands play 8 songs and scoot after charging you a bomb and a half.
and UTT turned up :O just getting to ogle him for a few minutes was worth half of the ticket price! i think half the girls in the audience were reduced to oogly masses of jelly when he came on stage. Love Me Butch opened for them, and i thought they were awesome. they played good stuff, and i was more than offended on their behalf when people in the audience started flashing them time-out signs as well as giving them the finger. someone a little to my right said "wtf? we paid for Simple Plan la, not some jinjang local band!" .........hello. all concerts have opening acts. come later if you dont want to see the openers. besides that, the audience was typical concert-going audience ; loads of white people, avril lavigne wannabes, people who hate avril wannabes but still dress like avril, chinese girls who talk like "oh. my. god these toilets are like so gross, ew", malay boys who've got a statement to make, people who have a serious body odour problem, people who stare at people who headbang (hello, CONCERT??), and of course the normal people like me and my friends. oh and gasp! Simple Plan's bassist said 'fuck' on stage! :O this, in a country whose almighty powers made Linkin Park cover practically every inch of their skin and told them 'no screaming' in their music? if PAS catches wind of this, i believe this is the last time we see Simple Plan in KL :P after the concert, we all popped over to Hartamas (argh! fight the urge to Dota!!) where something funny happened. Sieu Theng found maggots in her lime! hahahaha okay i know this isnt really funny seeing as the poor girl is probably puking her guts out at home or bawling her eyes out or both .... but it was just .. man i dont know :P she squirted her lime all over her Maggi (noodles) and she even mashed her taufu (beancurd) in the lime before eating em! and then she was like, FUCK THERE'S A MAGGOT IN MY LIME. turned out it was many maggots, and she's probably swallowed half of them. she looked like she was gonna cry :P awwwwwwwww. sieutheng, if you're reading this, i sympathize. seriously. hopefully your stomach acids kill them before they do anything to your system. *gives you a lime slice* i'm sleepy!!

oh my goodness .. :( i'm praying no more tsunamis will happen. apparently it will take one or two hours more for the waves to reach land if indeed a tsunami did occur. edit : thank goodness no tsunami this time. but 300 are already dead, and the death toll could be up to 2000 people.

sometimes when i come across random people's blog or friendster profile or site, and find it extremely similar to mine (similiar like word-for-word kinda similiar), i'm not sure if i was plagiarised from or if it was just a complete coincidence. ah but copycatting is a very juvenile thing to complain about. i knew someone once who used to rant left right and center about being copied off all the time. it got a bit tedious listening to those complaints, especially since sometimes it bordered on extremely childish and rather arrogant. though i have to admit i get a bit miffed sometimes, especially when entire blog entries or my whole 'About Me' section in Friendster gets lifted off me. some people even have the nerve to change their profiles to suit mine each time i change it, which is often o.O but bah, like i said earlier, very juvenile thing to complain about so methinks me will just shut up and take it as a 'great minds think alike' kinda thing ^^ something less juvenile to complain about would be that i do not like schoolwork and i do not like working in teams with people who dont help out. or is that juvenile too? okay how about the fact that i hate Sunday dinners with the family because 3 times out of 4 my dad will be angry at one of us, and the other 1 time out of 4 he makes my mom cry. siigh.
Sunday, March 20, 200511:47 AMcurrent music : Staind - It's Been A While i never used to see the point in people cutting themselves. i never understood how they could get a high from slashing themselves with blades and watching the blood flow. i never got why they kept on doing it over and over again. most of all, i never did understand how mutilating themselves could cause their problems to disappear.
i always thought cutting was something very sad -- that for a person to want to cut him/herself, something must be very very wrong in their lives for them to feel that way. and i was the sort who was very quick to say things like, "you really shouldnt do that, it's so unhealthy both physically and emotionally." or "talk to me, okay? dont cut yourself because the blade wont listen. I will." and i was always, always the first to criticize people who cut for no apparent reason and then brag to half the world about it. like cutting was something to be proud of, like the scars were trophies to showcase. but the other day i found out that one of my very very very very very closest friends, most possibly the best friend I've ever had, cuts. i saw all the scars and i was so petrified. i couldnt say a word. i didnt even know how to approach the topic. fuck, i feel so useless. to know that a friend was suffering so badly and i had no idea. to know that i could have done something to stop it. the worst part was that she didnt even feel like she could tell me what was wrong. some friend i am. i feel like crap.
Saturday, March 19, 20053:29 AMcurrent music : Natalie Cole - This Will Be An Everlasting Love the other day, i went to watch Sepet, this local film that's centered around the love between a Chinese boy and a Malay girl. i normally never watch local films or tv, but this one sounded almost too good to pass up.
Ah Loong (who calls himself Jason) looks like the typical Chinese ah beng you see selling pirated VCDs on the street. he comes complete with the faded blue jeans, slippers, faux blonde hair, posse of street-gang friends, as well as one of those head honchos who's perpetually pushing him around to repay his debts. but :) underneath that exterior is a quiet, shy boy who reads and writes poetry. he lives at home with his loving mother whom he is very close to, and a dad who is the typical Chinese scum. Ah Loong also places high priority on honour between friends, and believes that a world without romance is a world not worth living in. he meets Orked, a young Malay girl who's modern but traditional as shown by her combo of baju kurung and Adidas sneakers! she is a sweet but fiery spirit who likes watching Chinese movies and has Takeshi Kaneshiro (good taste!) posters in her bathroom. they first lock eyes over rows and rows of pirated VCDs -- insert loveatfirstsight scenario where time sorta stops and the supporting character (Orked's best friend) taps her foot impatiently. Ah Loong is so smitten with Orkid that he gives her a VCD of Chungking Express for free, and slips his phone number along with it. she finds the number, giggles a lot, balances a giraffe on her face, and calls him. to cut a looooong story short, they both fall madly in love, but the truth soon surfaces! Ah Loong has a girlfriend (who cant act for beans and looks like a can of beans), who is now pregnant, no surprise who Daddy is. said girlfriend is also sister of *gasp!* head honcho who's always on Ah Loong's case for $$$. Taiko comes around looking for Ah Loong to beat him up, insert fight that kills one of Taiko's men and renders Taiko heavily injured. Orked finds out about Ah Loong and his pregnant other girlfriend, gets incredibly upset and breaks all ties with Ah Loong. Ah Loong is sad and tries desperately to win her back but to no avail. Orked gets a scholarship and goes to UK. and the end is for you to go watch for yourself :P overall, i would recommend this show. the dialogue was SO good, the acting was amazing, settings were so real and i was absolutely stunned at the way Yasmin Ahmad captured the authencity of Malaysia. and when you watch this movie, you get the feeling like .. it's so real, you know what i mean? it just flows so well, and the chemistry between the characters paired with the atmosphere is enough to make you feel like you're standing there watching a conversation take place. like the argument between Orked and bestfriend'sboyfriend -- it was so fluid and genuine and sounded like something i'd hear right in the courtyard of my school. the bonding session between Orked and her best friend sounded just like one between me and my best friend. it's the little things like that that made the movie so very watchable. that, and the messages Yasmin Ahmad hid in her script .. whoa. so many comments that woman has to make :D a few good ones were like .. when Ah Loong asked Orked "what happened to Malay movies?" was so obviously a diss at the malay movies you see onscreen these days. (i mean .. RM20,000,000 for Puteri Gunung Ledang that turned out a little less than satisfactory? Yasmin Ahmad and her producers had to fork out their own savings for the filming of Sepet, and look what amazing work they produced) and also, Orked who scored only 5A's got a scholarship to London, whereas Ah Loong who got 7A's didnt. this is where Yasmin highlights the bias to Malays that is a little more than apparent in our country. she also brings up the hypocrisy in how it's socially acceptable for Malay men to marry outside their race, and how that's not the case for Malay women. the stereotypes of Chinese/Malay were also very much present in Sepet, but Yasmin Ahmad doesnt go all out of the way to dispute those stereotypes like you would expect, she instead embraces them. i found that really cool :D throughout the whole film, characters who appreciate media outside their own language keeps popping up. Orked, for example, likes Takeshi Kaneshiro and his movies. Ah Loong reads Indian poetry. Orked's maid Yam, listens to Siamese music, and Orked's Malay parents love Chinese dramas despite not understanding a single word. in your face, social misassumption that racism is present in all of us! oh and the whole thing about Malays wanting to be white was also an issue, as seen in the character of Mr Best Friend's Boyfriend. he insults Orked back, saying she thinks she's too good for her own race because she dates a Chinese. i thought their argument addressed the stigma of people dating outside their own race very well indeed. the only gripe i have about this movie is the fact that there wasnt any real clash between Ah Loong's and Orked's family. it was almost too easy for them to be in a relationship, whereas in reality, some parents would be kicking their daughters out of their houses for seeing a non-Islam boy. there was next to zero significance on their differing religions as well, except for one part where Loong's best friend said he'll have to give up pork if he marries Orked. eh go watch Sepet la. support local industry a bit. and dont buy the pirated version okay!!!! also, a very Happy Belated St. Patricks Day! :D Friendster was all green and shamrocky for the day. and here's a song dedicated to all the people out there who celebrate St Pat's day ^^ Now everybody's died So until our tears are dried We'll drink and drink and drink and drink And then we'll drink some more We'll dance and sing and fight Until the early morning light Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up and then go drinking once again! The Irish Drinking Song by Da Vinci's Notebook i have discovered a new hobby of mine -- shooting cincau bits at people through a straw, and throwing peanuts down at people from the 3rd floor of Mid Valley's centre court. muahahahhaa! feel the powah of my marksmanship! and OKAY, since you guys were oh so accurate with the below pic of Avril Lavigne and the other one of Britney months ago, let's see you get this one :P

Wednesday, March 16, 20053:04 AMcurrent music : Incubus - Pardon Me to expand a little on the last part of my below post ..
i am not only untrusting of people these days, i am also getting sick of trusting people and then getting slammed in the face by something completely unexpected. i have said it many times, and i will say it again. sri garden is full of self-centered, immature, un-understanding, i-am-so-above-you, condescending, dense, unreasonable and crude idiots. and people wonder why i do not like going to school. YOU try being in a class full of such people, let alone an entire SCHOOL and we'll see how you like it. on one hand, we have the intelligent-but-stupid people like my classmates. people who are book-smart, know the Malaysian education syllabus inside out, can quote formulae like a goat eats grass (weird simile yes, but its just that i saw a goat eating grass yesterday :P), people who get 101% for Additional Mathematics (no joke). BUT, get them involved in a community service club, and they start complaining about actually having to do community service. they choose projects based on what THEY want and where THEY want to go, totally not taking into account how much they can actually help handicapped children or orphans. no rapport between them at all. during exams, you see more upstaging and backstabbing than helping. self always comes before other people, even your best friends. and OH, the ways these people can brown-nose teachers are worthy of Oscars. God forbid if you forgot to shine a spot on Mr Sahari's shoes. people who dont complete homework on time (like me), people who are late to school (like me), people who stand up for themselves before teachers (like me), people who are not like them (like me) are considered 'weird'. this is the part where i thank God i am 'weird'. they think they're smart? NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON has any knowledge on world issues. ask them anything outside of the malaysian syllabus and you get a blank stare. ask them to apply what they learn to anything outside of a test paper and you'll probably get nothing in return. show a single bit of raw emotion and they get all edgy because they dont understand it. and the best part is, they hate to be called nerdy. they're constantly on this .. crusade to fight against people stereotyping them as nerds. they call themselves crazy party people, cool people, bad boys .. just to name a few. HAH. it's like, "hey i'm not nerdy, i'm a bad boy. oh and i'm sorry i cant go out for ice cream, i've got a curfew of 6pm plus i havent done my revision OR my homework. oh no!" pfft. -.- (edit : i just realised that the above most probably does not apply to all first-class students. maybe just mine.) on the other hand we have the people who do not know that the sun is a star. the people who think education is useless, and that copying Japanese fashion is the way to go. (there was this class who filled in "have Japanese uniforms!" under the opinion survey for a change of uniforms. wtf?) people who think reading is something only weird people do, people who spend way too much time in the school washrooms. people who have an obsession with atmosphere (this club) or sungei wang (this really...bummy place). these people may not be particularly brilliant, but one thing i will always admire about them is the way they foster friendships. the way they support each other is really amazing. when one of their friends has a problem, they ALL know about it and in a split second will be by that person's side. they exhibit genuine concern. now THESE people know the meaning of friendship. unlike some people. grr. sorry. just the sophomoric rants of a schoolgirl who doesnt like her school very much at the moment. stupid school who cares only about the $$$ more than what their students learn. stupid school with idiots in it, both the ones learning and the ones teaching. stupid school with bad cafeteria food.

and when i picked it up to wash it FIVE COCKROACHES SWARMED OUT OF THE BOWL. @#*%#$%^)$*^()$*^ just because i am not afraid of cockroaches (no autographs please!) does not mean i do not risk getting heart attacks when cockroaches start running up my hands!! >:O and i'm not talking itty bitty rabbit-poop sized cockroaches! i'm talking fully grown papa and mama roaches that are big, black, furry and ugly!! hate >:O i'm just thanking my lucky stars it wasnt lizards i encountered. now those things are foul creatures that shouldnt be sharing the same plane of existence as humans. i'm also incredibly thankful for insect repellent. oh Shieldtox, what would i do without you. i went to watch Robots today! ahhahahaha bloody hilarious shit :P i havent laughed this hard since the time someone in my class constructed the sentence : "saya suka makan nasi kandas" from the word 'kandas' during our Malay Language finals :P and i think my brother will one day grow up to be the business mastermind to end all business masterminds. see, earlier today he bought lasagna from Domino's to go, and they gave him a free can of Coke to go with it. then he came to meet me at the restaurant I was in, and he tried to sell the owner of that restaurant his can of Coke cos he didnt want it o.O the dude was like ..eh? but ended up paying my bro rm1.70 for the stupid drink. and then my bro went and bought a BOTTLE of coke for 1.50, and he kept harping on the fact that he made a profit of 20 cents and .something liters of coke. doh. and i'm getting extremely irritated at people who say to me things like, "hey i saw you shopping with song jun the other day .. wow, some breakup huh?" and "couples who break up dont go out for movies, you know." worse yet, some are accusing me of lying when i say i'm single. hello? what is with the immaturity? if you cant remain good friends with your exes, well that's too bad for you, but it does not at all mean that you can say the same thing for me. so if song jun and i no longer have feelings for each other, we cant even go out for dinner now without getting stupid comments from stupid people? what the hell? on a closing note, i find that i dont really trust many people these days. that has to change, because i feel like i'm about to implode from all the emotions and thoughts i'm bottling up inside me.
Sunday, March 13, 20054:56 AMcurrent music : Dido - Thank You for a while now, i've been wondering how come i don't blog as much as i used to. back in the day, blogposts at pinkskyes.tripod.com were as occurent as farts after a can of baked beans.
it was like some kind of virtual verbal diarrhea. i used to be able to blog up to 4-5 posts a day, most of them moderately long and extensively detailed. and they were all about various, arbitrary things -- my feelings, my thoughts, my day, school, movies i watched, people in my life, odd events, and my toilet bowl (you remember that, dont you). now, it takes a few weeks for inspiration to hit, and most of my writings dont go more than 3 lines. and the range of topics has been ridiculously narrow. and i've always wanted to know what the heck happened! tonight, after backspacing 4 different posts i'd started, i finahly have da ansah to dis puzzle dat's been muddlin mah mind. it's because i know who reads my blog. for example, the first post i deleted was about certain two-faced people who think they're all that. very irritating bunch, with mouths bigger than their brains if they even have any. and they talk about girls like all females were put on earth as entertainment for the male populace. recently, their shittiness has been shining through more than ever (and i didnt think that was possible, really), and it has been irritating the hell out of me. so i started this angry rant about them idiots, cursed and swore at the way they use people to wrangle out gossip and then tell half the world and the martian community about it. kicked up a fuss over how they can be pretend to be so nice to people, and in a few seconds turn around to tell stories on how that girl has been sleeping with her boyfriend on a regular basis and etc. buuuuuuut then, i remembered that these people actually read my blog. yet i couldnt edit anything out, because a huge chunk of the post were certain events that were principal in the message of the post. and so delete away i had to. 2nd post was about my classmates and the only thing they care about -- themselves. no need for me to state why i shouldnt be posting up my opinion on them. 3rd post was on .. dumdumdum, my school's newly formed student council. recently i've heard of some dirty linen slash opinions pertaining to the highly esteemed representatives of SSG's student body, and i couldnt help but raise an eyebrow. those people are fast becoming a running joke among the students of my school. felt the need to blog about it but then remembered that perhaps too many Sri Garden students have my blog URL, and defamation of our delegates wouldnt necessarily be a good thing. so, highlight + delete it had to be. 4th post was about my mother dearest, whom i normally have no qualms writing about, but lately i hear my brother has been catching wind of what goes on in my blog no thanks to certain idiots who cant keep their mouth shut. i do not particulary want my brother's view on my mother being influenced by mine, as i do love her very much despite all my disappointment in her, so i had to delete that post as well. which leaves me having a)nothing to write about or b)write about the fact that i have nothing to write about. i am now 570 words into the latter choice. anyways, yes, i realize that i cant really blog about ANYTHING anymore because of the relation between my opinions and the audience of my blog. i cant even blog about my feelings anymore!!! because from there arises all sorts of complications that i am too sleepy atm to outline. i cant and i wont blog about my day because .. well that's just boring. i'm sure you wouldnt wanna read things like "today i had eggs for breakfast. today i went to mid valley and i bought a skirt. today i saw Bart and Simpson and we had a drink down the road. today some guy got my phone number via a very weird way that i will not say because i want to keep you in suspense but OKAY LA i'll say anyway." or something along those lines. right? right???! so what's left for me to blog about? :( ............ today i had sausages for breakfast. and i really should stop caring over who reads my blog and just WRITE anyway.
Friday, March 11, 20057:04 PMcurrent music : Good Charlotte - Say Anything i'm back! :D
now wouldnt really be the best of times to reopen my blog, but then for some reason my domain has been suspended o.O and i really couldnt be arsed to go through the procedure of getting it unsuspended ASAP .. so i guess it's back to tripod for me :P (why do i feel like i've said that last line a few hundred times) life lately has been busy indeedy. and very upsetting as well. these days it feels like i'm either doing some form of work that i dont really want to do, sleeping too little, or feeling like i want to hit something. so to destress i planned to spend my entire Friday afternoon just doing things i want to do before i hit busy mode again tomorrow. i thought i'd go online and just click around some boards and blogs that i have not read in forever .. but what did i end up doing? researching for my upcoming debate competition. and then i started on an essay that's due for another competition in a few weeks. put that aside and found that i had a newspaper article to write. argh! i should just get off the computer. but i dont want to. so, yeah. every once in a while, we come across a teacher that has the ability to change our lives just by being in it. the sort of teacher who helps you grasps concepts and formulae in several seconds, the sort who touches your heart and makes you feel like education isnt such a dreary process after all. well i've been fortunate enough to meet a handful of such teachers, and lately had the opportunity to meet one more. his teaching method is extremely effective and i have never seen anything like of it before! he has this ability to make you feel so stupid and wretched that you will vow to yourself to go right home and cram like crazy just so he wont have an excuse to derogate you any further by the time the next class rolls around. cos thats what i did. and i feel smarter now :D F=MA! 2pi=root l/g! sensitivity is the ability to detect small changes in a reading! acceleration is rate of change of velocity! feel the powaaahhhh! speaking of amazing teachers who change your life, today i saw my old History teacher whom i have not seen in months. and i almost cried :( man i miss that old fatso so much. i miss tempting him with sweets (he's diabetic) and i miss his ugly mustard shirts. boohoo :( all this SPM hooha and people crying because they didnt get straight A's is beginning to scare me. maybe i shouldnt be targetting straight A's after all @_@ 12A's does seem like a bit too much, doesnt it? anyhoo, May Yenn if you're reading this, i just want to say a huge congratsssssssss :D you did it! lately i've been wondering if i'm just that little bit obsessive-compulsive, because i realize that the most minute things get in the way of my productivity and peace of mind. so i took this test! and yep, scored a HIGH for Obsessive-Compulsive, and Dependant as well. got a LOW for anti-social. HAH, take that, you people who think i'm lc. man, it's already March. where did all that time go?? ..pfft, no matter! it just brings me closer to July 16th <3 <3 <3! oooooh, the excitement :D i think i will go look for ice cream. i've been on an UBER ice cream craze lately. so tata :D
