GC concert


I just wanna live! *music emoticon*

atmosphere was great from where i stood, albeit quite far, but good enough nevertheless.

and I can guarantee you the high-pitched singing falsetto voice you hear on the clip isn't mine.

-_-


-alexeO-

Not well

Irregular eating times, irregular sleeping hours, unhealthy eating habits, inconsistent intake of food, dependency on caffeine, early morning football matches, last minute completion of assignment..

..and i'm now beginning to feel the consequences of them all.

headaches, eyebags, black eye rings, itchy eyes, zits, short attention spans, tiredness, sleepiness, dizziness.

sigh.
need to get my life back on track asap.

Car

I was driving home today when I suddenly saw this car turning out of the parking area for the student apartments near my university.. So out goes my camera phone to capture this 'once in a lifetime' event..



So unique!

And the car was like.. real small... everything seems so fragile.. like a little knock will break the car into pieces.

I trailed the car, not intentionally though.. it just so happened that it took the
same path I was taking.

So after another stop, I took more pics. Haha.



Somehow, I kept a reasonable 'longer' gap then i do with other cars.. I think it's because it's real hard to estimate the distance because of its rare size and length and all..

And there's was this part where it was congested and that car just caught the attention of every single car around it. Haha. Makes my "Waja", which, was right behind that car very much more inferior that it already is. -_-

So cool antique looking car.

Are they even allowed to be on the roads of today?

I wonder if it can go as fast as today's car on the highway or something.



Hmm.
If these are the cars ppl of the past were driving, where have they all gone to today? Some antique car gallery perhaps? Or why is it only usually seen in some rich man's mansion's garage.. Why is it rarely, or not at all seen on the roads today?
Too slow?
Too fragile?
Hmm.
:/


Randomnya.



-alexeO-

I hate you

More specifically, if you're a hypocrite.

Hypocrites annoy me to the core. Whether intentionally or not, they still suck. Some of them, are hypocrites just because they want to try to please a particular person around them for the sake of getting their approval or attention or just... to be damn fake la.

Stupid hypocrites.

You know who you are.

Don't pretend to be such a laid back student la if you're actually not!

Don't pretend to be one of those anti-smoking campaigners when you actually want to smoke yourself la!

Don't pretend to turn over a new leaf when you actually still have a passion with something which is isn't good le!

Can't people just be honest?
With themselves?
With the people around them?
With me?

Like I or anyone else around them will hate them so much liddat for being who true to themselves. In fact, hypocrites annoy me more than anything else.

One of my ultimate pet peeves.

Because I had fun doing it, i'm gonna continue to list down the hypocritical stuff i see around me.

Don't pretend to have such a strong 'care' and 'love' for the environment or animals but you actually love eating all those delicious meat la!

Don't pretend to be so religious when you actually sin so much yourself!

That's all, I think.

Here are some random stuff I took with my hp camera today when it was heavily congested in the toll. Eventhough I had the Smart Tag, they closed one lane so there were many many cars. T_T


Random cars cutting my lane


Cool looking scenery


Wahaha. super gaya driver me~ :D


yay i updated.

i just read back wat i posted.
wat a boring post. :/

A Case of Jazz

I've not been updating because life is pretty much a routine and assignments deadlines are reaching fast.

Too fast in fact for my liking.

I'm gonna be in deep shit soon if I don't start getting my ass to the library to do my research for the assignments which are due next week and the week after. Very tedious ones too!

I got one due tomorrow, which I've not even started writing on! Haha!

It's a concert review.. and I've selected for myself a jazz concert.. more specifically, a Diana Krall: Live in Paris concert..

the whole show was pretty much the same played again and again but the last encore performance I felt was really genuinely good!

Because I'm a kind soul who likes to share good things with my friends, here's the clip!

Diana Krall - A Case of You


I like her deep, sultry, sexy vocals eventhough she's old enough to be my mother's younger sister. -_-
confusing, but nvm.

Enjoy the song!
and be touched.

Hm

Everyone is talking about the shooting incident in Virginia Tech in the US.

I felt for the victims, but the gunman had his own problems which is pretty sad as well.

I'm not saying that what he done was right because of how he was treated, but his actions weren't out of randomness or had some mental disorder which prompted the shooting.

It's pretty sad. What happened to him in high and middle school.

It seems to mirror my own piece of history. O_O

I read an interesting piece of update from Yahoo! News : http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070419/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting

Here are some things i found interesting in that article:

"Chris Davids, a Virginia Tech senior who graduated from Westfield High School in Chantilly, Va., with Cho in 2003, recalled that the South Korean immigrant almost never opened his mouth and would ignore attempts to strike up a conversation."

"Once, in English class, the teacher had the students read aloud, and when it was Cho's turn, he just looked down in silence, Davids recalled. Finally, after the teacher threatened him with an F for participation, Cho started to read in a strange, deep voice that sounded "like he had something in his mouth," Davids said."

"As soon as he started reading, the whole class started laughing and pointing and saying, `Go back to China,'" Davids said.

Omg stupid american kids.

"There were just some people who were really mean to him and they would push him down and laugh at him," Roberts said Wednesday. "He didn't speak English really well and they would really make fun of him."


I know exactly how it feels!
Well, I wasn't exactly pushed.. as far as I remembered.. I think.. eh maybe got.. but.. still! I was bullied in school!

So... all I gotta say now is..

Be afraid my former schoolmates..

be very afraid..


Bwahahaha!


-alexeO-

Booths galore~

Many many booths set up in my uni today

exciting~

firstly, the blood donation drive was here!


random ppl donating blood

i didn't donate though not because I'm selfish or scared, but I have a inherited disease which made me ineligible to be a healthy donor! ;) Actually if I got fresh blood, abit scared also la. And my disease wont spread one. -_- so don't avoid me ok?
it's actually not really a disease la.. just some condition where i'm lack of a certain enzyme.. zzz. :/

then, i saw..



Some drug awareness booth led by some chief inspector!

I didn't spend much time there though, looking at all sorts of interesting looking drugs and pills and all.. which looks pretty tempting. bwahaha.
and they also had some drug abuse talk in a lecture theatre sometime in the afternoon.. u actually gotta REGISTER to attend this talk. There were actually people attending that talk!! super surprised. Why would such talk interest anyone.. O_o

Then there was also the...



DIGI BOOTH!

wahaha my telco line~
I <3 digi.
jus coz i'm using it.

they promoting some new Fu-Yoh subscription plan thing and giving out good charlotte tickets if you purchase a certain amount of reload for your prepaid and subscribing to the plan.

However, all I did was to buy the reload, and they gave me the passes immediately!!

YAY! :D
Now I'm going to the concert too!
Just 24 hrs ago, I was already tengah complaining to my frens how I will be damn jealous that I won't be attending.

But now I am~
LOLOL.

I still super sleepy now cause of my boring lecture made boring my my boring lecturer and the fact that I only slept for 2 hrs.
Gonna sleep soon.

Nite!


-alexeO-

boring

I cannot stand it anymore. My American Music and Popular Culture lecturer is DAMN FREAKING BORING!#!@$@!$!@$!@@!$

She, yes a she, is like the perfect picture of the definition of boring. Seriously.

It's so sad because she hasn't been doing this lecturing thing for long but she's totally not trying hard enough to improve her lecturing skills! She knows her stuff but sometimes I think to myself, 'can she be anymore boring?'

It is 3X worst that the lecture has to be early in the morning where I still am half asleep.

ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAD TO STAY UP FOR A FOOTBALL MATCH THE NIGHT BEFORE?!!

It was torture I tell you. Complete torture.

Because it's a music related subject, we were often given much songs to listen to. And I actually just stared at the track time, waiting for it to finish, counting by the seconds..

2:33..
2:32..
2:31..

Oh my god.

I'm ranting like a 10 yr old girl but I don't care. Mainly because I've never came across such a boring use of 2hrs of my life every week before!

I AM SOMEONE WHO ISNT EASILY BORED SUMMORE! omg man.

I think people in my lecture also think i'm abit weird after noticing me occasionally turning around looking at some random people in the class and then turning away when they look back.

Not once summore.
Many times.

CANT HELP IT LA. DAMN BORED WAT TO DO.

She isn't good in the way that she never ever make sure people will understand the things she say. She ASSUMES the class is with her when no one responds.

I know the students are supposed to ask her for clarification if we didn't understand something but, we did before! she went on FURTHER elaborating on some musical terms 90% of the class wouldn't understand like purposely doing it to shut us up. she became not understandable the following week again.

super no point!
so we just gave up la.

end up the class all had a quiet 2 hrs just staring at this young looking lady going on and on and on about some jazz genre or blues.

And the JAZZ and BLUES genre is just super inappropriate for her lectures.

First she's so boring already.
Then include the damn freaking boring jazzy tunes.

summore not the famous ones.. the origins of jazz.. the early jazz music.. how they sound like..

I almost got a headache just by feeling bored. I couldn't believe it.

Was trying so hard not to sleep just now, and i managed to do it succesfully.


Sigh.

6-7 more weeks of seeing her.
Hope I can 'tahan'.
:/

Everything-random post

I'm at a state where every song I listen to now sounds nice.

The songs in my windows media library are great. *thumbs up sign* very proud of myself that I've finally compiled a reasonable amount of songs which all I enjoy listening to.
I think I know how to know if I found someone who shares the same taste as me. Asking them to judge my song library!

Super random.

Anyway, here are some random photos which may or may not have relevance to one another.

Enjoy this random post.

5 Science 1, Class of 2005

It's 6.30am now and I haven't slept cause I stayed up the whole night doing this very clip.

Not only because I am so willing to sacrifice la.
Stupid Nescafe I drank at 12am just is making me super awake now. -__-

*ps: dun skip any part! watch the whole thing photos to photos. remember to think back of all the stuff we used to do back then! Bwahaha.




Ah.


-alexeO-

I regret, but I'm not sorry.

People do things which they regret later.
And i'm not exceptional in any way.

Some things I regret doing a long time ago really had an impact on me deep down inside even until today.
The disappointment and 'regret' is to an extent of when I actually think of those things I did, I actually will feel like I've screwed up my life in a big way.

I know that there may be good things which came along with the major decisions I made in my life which sometimes may seem like the worst decisions in the world, but I know what I did and I really think I would benefit much more if I had acted the other way instead.

But it's too late to think back now.
Because I know I cannot go back time and change the way I had acted.



For one,

I regret trying so hard to be different last time and trying to live my life in a 'different' way from other people.

This isn't something I did unconsciously like most people will say they do.

It's something which I actually had control over and I actually decided to so-called take the 'road not taken' and 'less travelled by' for the sake of being different, unique, special, and whatever other synonyms relevant.

It's not a matter of not participating. It's a matter of desperation of wanting to be different.

This is definitely not a new characteristic of mine.
It seems that I have been 'trying' since primary school.

When every student makes noise in the class,
I will be the one standing at the door, looking outside, keeping quiet.

When everyone plays 'catching',
I will be the one sitting down at the bench, observing the random surroundings,

When everyone is close to a particular classmate,
I will be the only one in class avoiding to become friends with that classmate.

When everyone uses the left flight of stairs to reach the canteen,
I will be the one using the flight of stairs at the right side.

At the end of the day,
I realised the hard way that being different sucks.

Because of my 'difference', I ended up being a loner for most of my years in school, because I just refused to 'follow the crowd' and make friends with people who have alot of friends.

I ended up not participating in any sports whatsoever which made me to a totally unfit person today.

I ended up being teased, insulted when people spoke about the 'different' boy in the class.

I ended up being more tired after taking the longer route to the canteen.

Nothing awaited me for being different.

Was I unique?

I definitely was, in my own way.

But so is everyone else around me.
The so-called 'normal' people who I refused to become part of.



I also regret wanting to being nice always and ended up being taken advantage of.
Because of this attitude of mine since young, it became some sort of a 'habit' and I just cannot force myself to not be who I am trained myself to be.

I became branded as 'vulnerable' and fun to bully because people know I am not vengeful and will forgive them easily.

Leading from that,
I also actually regret not wanting to defend myself but laugh along when people take advantage of me when I was young.

Because of that, I never learnt the art of standing up for myself.

If I have children, or a younger sibling for example,
My main advices for him or her would be not to be who I wanted to be last time.

There's no reason to 'try' to be different for the sake of being unique because at the end of the day, everyone IS indeed unique in their own ways.

If only I had someone who had told me this earlier.
Hmmm.
I would probably turn out to be a very different boy today.

How would I know?

You know there are somethings in life you are just so sure of but you cannot find the explanation behind it?

And that's just the way it is.



I occasionally tell some of my friends that I regretted some choices I made in my life because it totally made me into a very different person I would have been.

It's no fun, but without regrets, people wouldn't learn.

And I guess this is a phase I will go through in my life.
To remind me and teach me of the simple facts of life.
And how to treat people around me.

I'm honestly glad that I have this will inside me which tells me everyday to try my best to be nice, and not to commit any things which may have a negative impact.

Like not smoking for example.
Or not taking drugs.
Or not hurting people.
Or making people dislike me for some reason.
Or for not having a heart and a soft side.

I sometimes see my peers doing stupid things and wasting their lives.
Lives which certain people in this world will die to replace.

At least I know I'm trying my best to live my life the way it should be.

At least I have regrets to learn from.

Penang

Penang is a place located somewhere far north in Malaysia.

I already knew this some time ago but was still amused to know majority of the people there speaks hokkien!
The strong-typical-penang hokkien!!

Bwahaha.

Not only the chinese speaks the dialect. Even the Indians and Malays too. Uber hokkien state.

Geng.

I was at Penang last weekend for some chinese festival which no one who reads my blog really cares about.

And of course I just HAVE TO try the famous penang food rite?!

Dem nice!

I went to some of the places which were recommended before in Kenny's blog. Find the post on the Penang Food Guide yourself.

Anyways, I had to try the Char Kuey Teow fried by the apparently rude lady who wears a protective goggles and a shower cap.

And I did find her~
And I managed to try the CKT too!



A plate costs RM5.50.
GASP.

But.. IT WAS DAMN WORTH IT!
3 huge prawns.
And the kuey teow.. super nice. Maybe its in my mind la. But still damn nice.

And the queue was damn damn long ok. Never see before such a long queue for a CKT stall. Got another CKT stall opposite but no one was queue-ing.
O.O sad.

But I not only had to endure the super long queue. I had to endure the super long queue UNDER THE FREAKING RAIN. T_T

Got big umbrellas la for those queue-ing. But those umbrellas got holes one.
-_-
I think it's meant for the sun.

It's also quite farnee to say people protecting the CKT more than they protect themselves.
~_~

But dem nice. I recommend it to everyone!

This isn't really a food guide, and i'm a really lousy 'food-review-person'.

So I shall end this post by stating that the famous road-side Cendol was also super duper nice!
Best I ever tasted.


*hehe*

Yummy.
Dem refreshing for a hot Malaysian day.

Actually there's another pic which I was kinda 'acting cute'.
But I don't feel like posting that. Later kena bash by people. :(

:/

I'll stop here.
ANOTHER assignment due tomorrow!
eep. :|
