  On Heroes 1x19 and The Tudors
Heroes Episode 19 ~ .07%

*** THIS POST GOT SPOILERS ONE ***

One of the three stooges trying to take down the Company?

Haha, for once, ayat power dari Matt Parkman (in the line of The Office/ Dilbert-type sarcasm!) ~"You’re gonna take down your organization and you don’t even know who signed your cheques? Oh my God – you’re middle management!!!” Priceless. (Masa babak ni aku terlupa lak yang Mr Bennet dah kena bersih otak oleh The Haitian before being shot lepas suruh dia bawak lari Claire ke tempat yang selamat.)

Chubby Future Hiro

What’s with the cheesy goatee, Future Hiro? Ugh. Not kawaii at all. And, do you take Ando together with you? I wonder how Future Ando will look like *ponders*

Oooh, kacak! Mak suka!

And, dude, where’s the scar? And hehe *fangirly giggle* aku dah buat some screencaps of Nathan (especially masa dia converse dengan Linderman tu~ white shirts are LOVE!), tapi segan la pulak nak upload, sebab takut terkeluar ayat2 gatal power!

Enche Linderman, you should come to my house and heal my dying plants.

Oh no! Enche Linderman pun ada power ke?? Hoho, kalaulah Jessica tau yang dia dah bawak lari Micah, shit man, aku nak tengok showdown between these two, but provided that shape shifting bitch mati dulu la. (Hehe, I didn’t even bother to check out her name)

The power eater v The Brain eater

Phoar, showdown between Peter/ Sylar. And Peter, of the places, why the hell did you stand IN FRONT of the brain eater. Pelik, pelik. He could’ve taken him down from behind, but no. He had chosen to grab the bull by the horns, and what had happened, ladies and gentlemen? Yes. You die. Another surprise here is that Mohinder has actually grown some balls to fight Sylar. Haha, way to go, macha!

Why the smug, Mr President? Outta brains to eat?

Poor Mr. Eesuck, dah mati dengan cara yang yang amat sadis sekali (dear writers of Heroes, stop killing all the good-looking ones!!! but at least Hiro was right about this). And, gaah! Another devil in the Oval Office? You mean, Sylar’s running for president? Gosh, I can’t wait to see how this will turn out.

And just because these two are no longer bff’s…



More on Heroes Episode 19 at Edd’s blog. And guys, have you been to this blog? I was LMFAO! (A good thing sebab aku memang tengah emo pun sekarang ni), check it out yo -
http://www.burnttoastdiner.com/. Fucking funny as hell! You should see the bloggers’ profile too. All very siao one. :D

Other series that I’ve watched – The Tudors.

Bling Bling JRM ~ Pic from theage.com

As much as I loved JRM, I personally think that casting him as the fat and obnoxious Henry the viii is seriously a wrong move. And what’s with teh sex? *cough*. Heck, aku tengok ¾ episode pertama je sebab firstly, aku kurang berminat period dramas, kedua, too much sex even though I have no complains about his bedroom antics in Velvet Goldmine. Serious. Mungkin nantilah, kalau aku dah takde benda nak tengok, maybe aku sambung balik (I’ve dl’ed up to 3rd episode so far, but stopped sebab Pilotnya agak mengecewakan).

  Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead. :)
Current song : [Miss Murder by AFI]
Gaah! Mati2 aku ingatkan Davey Havok ni perempuan! I love his voice. My kinda voice, y’know, those macho types sebaris dengan Robert Smith dan Joel Madden dari Good Charlotte (in their previous albums anw).

This entry is made after I’ve watched that short film “Tarantino’s Mind”, link given by my online buddy, Faust aka Marcelo from Brazil ~ one of the mod at my favourite Prison Break forum (he makes awesome icons and wallpapers! And the one that introduced me to the whole twisted world of Dexter Morgan) Thanks Faust! :) Btw, for those of you who wants to see the video, do check it out at the recent comments in the previous post. Sorry, I don’t know how to put the link to Google videos :P Also because I just can't wait to watch Grindhouse. Arrgghh!

May contain major spoilers, so beware! :)

Macam tau2 aku nak membebel pasal QT, bila siri NCIS episod malam ni membuat reference kepada filem QT favourite aku. At first there were this references to JackRabbit Slim. And apparently, today is Abby’s birthday, and she thought that her boss had forgotten it. He didn’t. And he even surprised her with a present on her desk (which she didn’t even realized when the hell did he sneaked into her office because she’s been busy with work all day), and when she opened the box, there was a glow of light that shines to her face. Still shocked, she said “This is just like Pulp Fiction!”. I think I got that stupid grin on my face, because my hubby looked at me like I’m some kinda idiot :P

(Filem2 ni termasuk yang diarah, dilakonkan DAN skripnya ditulis oleh QT, so mungkin ada beberapa filem QT yang aku suka, tapi tidak diarahkan oleh QT eg From Dusk Till Dawn, Natural Born Killers dan True Romance).

Some of my faves and whatnots of Quentin Tarantino.

My favourite couple - Seriously, aku takleh nak decide between Mickey & Mallory Knox (Natural Born Killers) atau Clarence & Alabama dari True Romance, sebab dua2 couple memang brutal. Kalau diberi pilihan, aku suka watak Seth Gecko dan Kate Fuller di penghujung filem FDTD, but nah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Favourite male characters – Well, terus terang aku katakan, memang susah nak memilih antara banyak2 karakter bad-asses dalam filem2 QT, tapi aku paling suka Harvey Keitel dalam dua filem iaitu sebagai Mr White dalam Reservoir Dogs dan The Wolf dalam Pulp Fiction. Macho, selamba dan sangat2 sarkastik! Tak lupa juga Mr Pink lakonan Steve Buscemi dalam Reservoir Dogs yang kedekut, tapi kelakar! As for on-screen buddies, I’d go for Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield (dari filem Pulp Fiction). They’re like, the coolest bad-asses ever.

Favourite female character – Of course Beatrix Kiddo aka The Bride aka Black Mamba. Honestly, aku lebih suka Kill Bill Vol 1 berbanding Vol 2.

Uma Thurman, dalam sut kuning, sebagai homage kepada Bruce Lee dalam filem The Game of Death. Pic from chrisdoelle.com

Least favourite character – No offense to Tim Roth’s fan (including myself), tapi aku paling2 menyampah tengok karakter dia dalam Four Rooms dan Reservoir Dogs (especially masa lepas kena tembak kat dalam kereta tu). Overnya! Juga Sophie dari Kill Bill.

Filem QT pertama yang aku tonton ialah From Dusk Till Dawn (arahan Robert Rodriguez). Seth Gecko (lakonan George Clooney) ialah watak badass yang paling macho masa tu, dan tak lupa adiknya yang psiko, Ritchie Gecko. Dan filem seterusnya yang aku tunggu2 sejak lepas Kill Bill ialah bukan Grindhouse, tetapi Inglorious Bastards, which turns out to be released in 2008.

Scene yang membuat aku hampir tersembur air ke TV – Kali pertama kita di bawa ke kelab malam Titty Twister, dan babak pengenalan oleh Chet Pussy (fark, aku pun segan nak tulis kat sini :P)

Adik beradik nakal dalam segmen The Misbehavers. Pic from DVDTimes.co.uk

Salah satu watak yang agak over the top yang agak menjengkelkan ialah Ted the Bellhop lakonan Tim Roth dalam filem Four Rooms. Dan ironinya, aku paling kurang minat segmen arahan QT (The Man from Hollywood - waaaayy too much cussin’, man). Segmen faveret aku dalam filem ni ialah The Misbehavers. Kelakar, tapi agak disturbing (kids watching porn (T&A!), needles and a dead prostitute inside the mattress) wtf? . Oh, aku baru je perasan reference kepada foot fetish beliau dalam segmen ni, di mana si kakak menyuruh adik lelakinya mencium kakinya sebab nak tau dari mana datangnya bau busuk dalam bilik tu.

My favourite ensemble from a film ~ The cast of Pulp Fiction. Pic from wallpapers.dpics.org

Lagu kegemaran aku dari filem2 QT ialah Stuck In The Middle With You (Stealers Wheel) – kedengaran ketika Mr Blonde menyiksa polis yang menjadi tebusan tu. (Ear cutting scene!!!), Dark Night oleh The Blasters (opening credits from the film From Dusk Till Dawn), After Dark – Tito and The Tarantulas (babak Santanico Pandemonium menari dengan ular + foot fetish QT = Holy guacamole!), dan heh, siapa boleh lupa Misirlou dari Dick Dales & His Del-tones ! (Opening credits Pulp Fiction). Hmm. I’ve heard snippets of the songs from the soundtrack of Grindhouse dan nampaknya QT masih mengekalkan lagu2 yang ‘sepesen’.

So, any fanboys/ fangirls in the house ? I’ll bring the pie! :)

  Liz Hurley who?
It’s like a plague. My favourite dashing male thespians are fast dominating the beauty ads. First, it was JRM for Hugo Boss. And then, Ioan Gruffudd graces the otherwise boring monorail billboards with Burberry ads (well, okay, gambar dia kecik aje kalau nak dibandingkan dengan Rachel Weisz), and now, Clive Owen, one of my favourite British actor, is named the new face of Lancome! He’ll be endorsing the line of Lancôme's new Hypnose Homme fragrance and Men range of anti-ageing products, making him the first male Hollywood star to front a skincare product. The ad here (see the YouTube video), is directed by Wong Kar Wai (2046, In The Mood for Love), who also directed Clive in the BMW short film titled ‘The Follow’, way back in 2001.

If Henry the viii EVER looked as hot as this guy, hell, bring out the guillotine! Pic from JRM Fansite.

Honestly, aku lebih suka iklan kosmetik yang menampilkan male celebrities. It really appeals to both genders tapi aku rasa female consumers akan lebih tertarik untuk membeli satu2 produk tu. (Who wants their man to smell like Clive Owen, please raise your hand!) And another plus side is, aku tak rasa intimidated with the so-called perfect image if the ads are using female models/ celebrities. (Dengan photoshop dan airbrush, aku pun boleh jadi secantik Liz Hurley, kau). Koser mak nyah.

Now, feast your eyes, ladies. And don't hurt yourself :P



Dunno la whether aku sempat tengok filem ni on the big screen...

  I'm Attacking The Darkness!!! and Other Stories
a.k.a what happens when the guys decided to play Dungeons & Dragons. LMFAO!

Probably inspired by this line here…

"You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini and croquet. Can’t swim, can’t dance, don’t know karate. Face it. You’re never gonna make it."
Ray to Gerard in I’m Not Okay (I Promise)

Part 1


Part 2


Mikey Way as The Dungeon Master

Frank Iero as Teh N00b
Ray Toro as That One Guy Who Likes Cheetos and Mountain Dew
Gerard Way as The Elf

and Bob Bryar as The Magical Watchdog/ A GIRL!!! (in the second video.) Poor Bob :P

Credits to insertwithere for the first video and girltiffany for the second one. Thanks a lot!


Update:

We took Ikmal to the clinic tonight because both his palms are peeling. Tak tau macam mana boleh jadi macam tu, mengelupas dan merah2. Memula doktor tu ingatkan HFM, tapi Alhamdulillah, cuma allergic reaction je. Doktor tu kata mungkin tangan dia tak tahan dengan chemical yang ada dalam sabun atau whatever benda yang dia main. I swear, I was *this* close to saying ‘Hell Yeah Chemical!’ when I heard him said that. LOL!


Hmm… sounds familiar…

Dunno about you guys, but at first listen, I think this song by Frank’s old band, Pencey Prep, sounds eerily like a B-side of My Chemical Romance’s Early Sunset Over Monroeville. Hehe, I can’t stop giggling at the very youthful voice. (well, okay, I know he sounds much, much more aggressive in his new band, Leathermouth, but teehee *can’t control the fangirly giggle*, imho, Frank is better off as a rhythm guitarist for my favourite band. :)

Florida Plates (Pencey Prep)



And no, I won’t apologize for the overdose of Frank Anthony Iero. \(^o^)/

I think I just died and go to musical heaven.

Thank you sooo much for saving my hard-earned money!!!!

Now, dudes, before somebody noticed this site and shut it down or whatever :P

Idiots :P

They just can’t see the beauty that you’re faking, Gee.

My fave frontman is at number 21 for The Phoenix’s 100 Unsexiest Men 2007.
Niiiice. :P

The article is here, yo.

  So, You Think You Can Write?

Calling all ladies!

There’s a new site in town called Notes From Venus, and they’re looking for more female bloggers/ writers to join in the fun. You can post about anything under the sun, and YES! There’s a contest too! Stand to win a free spa treatment if your post is published.

To quote from their website:


Notes From Venus is intended to be the voice of women in Asia, which means we would like to hear from everyone out there instead of just the opinion of several writers. The idea is to bring all stories related to women to the forefront and to give them importance and meaning in the form of a collective where others can come to find their place, share in the stories and draw from them thoughts to inspire, amaze or surprise.

For talented writers, and wannabe professional Bloggers, eager to express their creativity and ingenuity, Notes For Venus is an avenue to explore capabilities and push the limits of writing, and, to have your voice heard and thoughts and ideas read by countless women from within the region and beyond.

Notes For Venus will also act as a platform from which our writers can gain exposure and in the process establish an active writers’ network


Hope to see you there! And yes, I’ve linked the site at my sidebar too.

PS : Guys, don’t even think about writing as a woman. Trust me, THEY KNOW! If you’re caught, may you grow man-boobs like the ones on Meatloaf in Fight Club. :P

The day I was almost pau’ed

Seriously, aku kadang2 serba salah kalau ada orang (mostly lelaki la) tahan aku tengah jalan, asking for cash. Macam2 alasan aku dengar. Motor pancit la. Baru tiba dari kampung pastuh kena pau la. Petang tadi ada sorang mamat ni jumpa aku. Nampak gaya macam Indon. Nak seringgit katanya, buat tambang bas. Dia bagitau lagi, yang dia baru jek keluar dari penjara. (I was like O.O kejap. Ingat nak tanya soalan bodoh, kenal tak Michael Scofield, tapi aku batalkan niat murni aku tuh). I declined nicely, “takpelah” (macam la mamat tu nak jual barang kat aku, tapi yelah, kekadang dalam situasi macam tu, kita tatau nak cakap apa). Tongue tied. Takut pun ada. Tambahan pulak sekarang ni macam2 benda kau dengar dari mulut orang dan melalui email. Macam2 kes orang buat sebab nak cepat kaya, guna pukau la, bomoh la, guna internet la. Kau jadi paranoid android. Memang niat di hati nak tolong, tapi what if suddenly aku kena pukau pastuh hilang semua duit, dan esoknya polis jumpa mayat aku kat tepi longkang kat Semenyih sana. Tak ke naya tu? Tensen, tensen…

For Nadia & Yatt:

Q Magazine, March 2006

Beb, this is the mag I was telling you about. Ada dalam 30++ pages of pure punk goodness, particularly in the year 1976. Ada artikel and banyak gambar yang phoar, pasal Sex Pistols, The Ramones (oi!), Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees. Aaand, ada artikel menarik kalau kau nak tulis pasal Lacuna tuh. Kalau kau still belum ada lagi, dan nak pinjam, sms aku, kay!

Haha, aku terperasan satu ayat ni dalam artikel pasal The Arctic Monkeys (in this mag) –

Another MySpace success story is Chicago punk band My Chemical Romance, whose 2004 album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, has sold more than a million copies.

CHICAGO?!?!?! Wtf? Bob Bryar must’ve been so proud… :P

PS: Yatt, CD okay tak? Maklum le, bootleg, hehe. Kalau prob, bagitau aku, nanti aku bagi a new one :). Thanks a lot for inviting me for lunch dan sempat ‘melawat kawasan’ lagi tu! Heh, korang le kawan blogger pertama aku yang berkunjung ke kubikel aku tu. Tahniah, tahniah… :P

Some of the goodies at my cubes now… Yatt kata aku ni 'jiwa remaja terperangkap dalam badan mak orang berusia 31 tahun'. Heh. Sukati kau le Yatt... :P

My monitor, dengan Atom dari Astro Boy, Nobita, gambar anak & nephew aku (aku beli sign untuk letak atas meja tu, dan tukar jadi picture frame) dan kereta faveret Ikmal selepas Nissan Skyline- Mitsubishi Evo Dah penuh dah! Oops, sori, aku tak perasan sekor beruang aku dok tunjuk punggung lak.

Ah, another MyChem pic spam before I finish…

Hmm.. dunno about you but I think Frank Iero looks like Zacky Vengeance's (angelic) twin in this pic.
Ah-sum!

MyChem in the latest NME, cropped from magazine scan, courtesy of Satsuma77 at LJ. Thanks a lot!


Untuk budak yang tengah sibuk nak buat presentation tu - Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates of A7X (I think that’s Syn, right?). Er, where’s the fedora mate? Photo from media.collegepublisher.com

Gaah! So many similarities! The inked sleeves, the lick! The same gaze. Italian guys are HAWT. :P

Toodles!

  Happy 30th Birthday, Gerard Arthur Way !

For what you did to me, And what I'll do to you, You get, what everyone else gets, You get a lifetime!

Let's go!

Do you remember that day when we met ? You told me this gets harder Well it did! Been holding on forever, Promise me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies, The damage you've inflicted temporary wounds I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me, I'm taking back the life you stole

My Watercooler Romance

We never got that far, This helps me to think all through the night; Bright lights that, won't kill me now, or tell me how; Just you and I, your starless eyes remain.

Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would you kill me in my sleep; Lay still like the dead; From the razor to the rosary; We could lose ourselves; And paint these walls in pitchfork red; I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take; I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me; I'm taking back the life you stole.

If I fall…

This hole that you put me in; Wasn't deep enough And I'm climbing out right now; You're running out of places to hide from me; When you go, Just know that I will remember you; If living was the hardest part; We'll then one day be together; And in the end we'll fall apart; Just as the leaves changing colors; And then I will be with you; I will be there one last time now; When you go; Just know that I will remember you...

We could be in the park and dancing by a tree; Kicking over blades we see; Or a dark beach with a black view; As pin-pricks in the velvet catch our fall…

I lost my fear of falling, I will be with you, I will be with you !

Song: It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish (from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge)

Welcome to the club! And yeah, Gee, 30's is so NOT the new 20's. Keep rockin'! And stay sober :)

PS1: "Don't tease me about my hobby. I don't tease you about being an asshole" Mark (Garden State, 2004) which is co-incidentally, Noo Joisey!!!

PS2: And yeah, I DO remember my father's birthday on the 20th AND my niece's on the 17th. Pfft!

PP3: Happy birthday to other rockin' April babies (those in my fave bands only la) - Mike McCready of Pearl Jam (5th April), Brendon Urie of P!ATD (12th), Daniel Johns of Silverchair (22nd),Tyson Ritter of AAR (24th) and Patrick Stump of FOB (27th).

That YouTube vid is not mine. Credits to KristenCorpse. Thanks a lot! :)

  The Finale, The Hiatus and The Syok Sendiri
Agak terlewat but what the heck...

PRISON BREAK Episodes 21 & 22 (Season Finale)

*SPOILERS ALERT!!!*

What more can I say?
So many RIP’s for Season 2 – Veronica, Gov. Tancredi, Abruzzi, Tweener, Haywire, Kellerman (my poor bff :( ), Bill Kim (hell yeah!), Sucre and Maricruz (mungkinkah terjadi ???), but at least C-Note dah berbahagia dengan keluarga tersayang. Prison Break should have stopped at Season 1, but then, us hardcore fans telah ditinggalkan tergantung pada cliffhanger di penghujung Season 1. :(...

Misa moment, aaahhhh….

Sara : I love you Michael.
Michael : (I was hoping he’d do a Han Solo and said “I know”, but damn script writers can only come up with a cheesy “I love you too”). Buek!


Why the sour face, Michael honey?

The wtf? ending

Still no ink in sight. Dammit!!!

Sigh…
Honestly, I’m very disappointed with the finale. Seriously, aku tatau apa motif Michael Scofield kena hantar kat prison yang nampak macam HQ untuk mutants tu. Damn, sekali pandang macam seedy gay club dalam Irreversible lak! Macam tengok Lost, yo. Anyway, aku rasa, untuk Season 3, aku macam boleh agak apa akan terjadi…

1. Michael sebenarnya dalam koma sebab terperanjat beruk dengar dia tembak siling bank yang dia rompak tu (dalam Episod Pilot PB) dan semua yang berlaku sepanjang Season 1 dan Season 2 adalah mimpi semata2.

2. Or, Michael can team up with Mahone and try to find their way out of that SONA prison (yang mungkin lebih secured dan hi-tech daripada Fox River). And Bellick can be somebody’s prison bitch for once. (Better get a razor ready, honey).

HEROES Episodes 17 & 18 (before hiatus *shakes fist*)

*SPOILERS ALERT*

Some family...
I was like, whoa! With THAT many spectators, macam mana agaknya Enche’ Bennet nak protect rahsia Claire ye? Use a neuralizer eh? Tapi aku cukup kagum dengan bra-nya yang kalis radiasi…

Old skool Claire Bennett. Siapa kata Claire tak senyum? :)
Just another pic for you know who ;-)

Comelnya!!!
Haha, Sylar, we have the same taste in fashion!!! (I mean, aku tau la dia tiru dressing Zane Taylor), tapi this is what I usually wear on my outings. Er, mom, can I have my grey sweatshirt back?

Flying Man with his brother, Peter the Power Eater
Gaah! I can never have enough of the brotherly love!

Oooohhh, the angst!
Mohinder, you’re in BIIIGGG trouble, macha! You should’ve known better that lumbar puncture without anesthetic hurts LIKE HELL!!! Uhm, don't ask Dr. House about this. He sucks at LP's.

Oh ya, teori Heroes aku tentang nama Sylar – derived drp Chinese phrase “Sei lor” or, “mati la mak!” sebab setiap orang yang terjumpa dia mesti akan kehilangan otak, hehe…

I can’t wait for the hiatus to be over!
Next in line, aku baru je pinjam nip/tuck Season 3 & 4 dari member aku.
Sigh, so much to watch, so little time…

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE ? (Malaysia)

Yeah, malam tadi aku tengok Episod pertama siri ni. Pretty impressed with the contestants (especially budak kampung aku yang bawak motor 3 jam untuk hadiri audition ni, just like my brother yang buat benda yang sama hari tuh untuk audition Nescafe Kick-Start.). Tapi aku agak pissed sebab ada dua minah Melayu ni yang kena sensor sebab too HAWT, apparently (nak tiru PCD tapi tak jadi :P). And yes, nobody did the Napoleon Dynamite dance, thank God! Tapi aku macam dapat rasakan yang aku akan root for the contestants yang terrer dalam Indian classical dance tu (ada sorang lelaki dan sorang Chinese lady).

Later yo.

  My Chemical Romance Update
I Think I’ve Just Broken My Squee Gland

Mikey Way
*sings Selamat Pengantin Baru* Ahem, reading one of them Waycest slashes eh Mikey Way?

And more Mikey Way because he looked so damn hot without those glasses…

Must be that pengantin baru glow….

Frerard Frank Iero & Gerard Way
Frank looked so thin nowadays. That man is so prone to injuries and sickness. *shrug and looks at Gerard*

Ray Toro
So, that explains the cheesy sideburns!

Bob Bryar
Oooh, spread the Bob love!

“Years ago, we used to come out with chocolate for the fans, back when there was like, 50 of them. That was everybody who came to the show, though, we couldn’t do that now. Somebody would get hurt. We’re worried about their safety and ours at the same time, and we’re not perfect at it yet. If they’re out on the street and there are cars coming… it can get too crazy sometimes.” Gerard Way

Heh, we're talking around 5 million now Gerard. :-)

  Cute Is What We Aim For
Cute overload!!!!

My nephew, Nizwan Alif (born 22 Oct 2006) which is the son of my second sister.

Alif with Eiman

AH! OCTOBER BABIES!


Loves to chat. Loves those who love them. Loves to takes things at the centre. Inner and physical beauty. Lies but doesn't pretend. Gets angry often. Treats friends importantly. Brave and fearless. Always making friends. Easily hurt but recovers easily. Daydreamer. Opinionated. Does not care to control emotions. Unpredictable. Extremely smart, but definitely the hottest AND sexiest of them all.

Alif and Elmo, comparing LOLs
The toothless wonders

And just because I can’t resist the cuteness!!! No, no. Ini bukan anak sedara aku.

Ooooh the prettiness! Ryan Ross and Brendon Urie

Pic from the weemo_closet community at LiveJournal, which is up to now, the ONLY LJ community that rejected my application to join, hehe, because according to the mod, “we're a comm for those who are in the closet about their emo love. it's a place for us to squee about these bands without having to contend with fans who know more than us and who aren't living their emo lives in secret. ;) and (un)fortunately, you're just too open about your mcr obsession!”

Hell yeah! :P

My new nephew has a name now. It’s Muhammad Izuddin (I hope the spelling’s right). :) Haven’t got the chance to see him yet because he’s in JB but I imagined him to be cute and healthy anyway.

  Things like this can really, really put a smile on my face…
Email from Gordon Kho of Galaxie mag

:-)

And you know what else put a smile on my face ? Yes!!!!
Reading a brand new Galaxie mag, fresh from the magazine stand.


Some of the things that make me O.O from the recent/ latest issues of Galaxie are…

1. Muse, Muse, and more Muse.
2. My Chem. Seriously, I don’t care if they’re printing the same pictures/ posters over and over again, coz they’re my fave band right now.
3. *keeping my fingers crossed for any contest with Linkin Park goodies*
4. The interview with my fave (fictional) plastic surgeons, Christian Troy and Sean McNamara AND the woman who shared their love.
5. The nearly half-naked pic of Pete Wentz during their Singapore concert. o.O.
6. Wentworth Miller holding a copy of Galaxie!!!! THE WENTWORTH MILLER!!! OMG! They should’ve sent me instead of that mag :P Hell, I’d pay for the air fare. :P I would even pay him to hold me like that :P:P:P
7. The poster of Daniel Radcliffe. In Equus O.O (I wasn’t expecting that. Honest!)
8. Dumbledore’s Army!!!! (This poster is totally going up on my cubicle!) Luna Lovegood looks so, er, good!
9. TVgasm! Kyle XY (I can see my youngest sister grinning from ear to ear by now), Heroes, Ugly Betty, ANTM, Supernatural, Prison Break, the CSI series; it’s like TV dot com, only better, because you can’t drool over them in the bathroom can you?
10. Adam Levine, for kicking Gerard Way’s ass by being voted as the Best Looking Frontman. I demand a recount! :P The same goes to Chad Michael Murray, who beats Went by a mere 5% by being TV’s Hunkiest Guy :P Cute, yes, but hunky? Nuh-uh.
11. Shia LaBeouf. I almost didn’t recognize him coz he looked so, uhm, grown up! Haha, the same expression I got after seeing Lucas Black in Tokyo Drift (I’ve always remembered him as Caleb, that little boy from American Gothic)
12. So many contests, so little time. :(
13. And yess!!!! There are lesser ringtone adverts now. I mean, the ads are still there, but not as irritating as the ringtones ads. Ugh.

Thank you again for all the good stuffs!
That really made my night.
Now will you excuse me, I want to sleep in peace. :)

  The Cure for My LP Itch is Finally Here!!!!!
Man, this is like Somewhere I Belong all over again!!!

Oh yeah, kalau sesapa nak dengar single terbaru Linkin Park, What I’ve Done daripada album terbaru diorang, Minutes To Midnight, (slated to be released somewhere in May 2007) Sorry!!! Edited (link dah dibuang sebab takut mak nyer website kena shut down, dowh!)

LP and me

2001 – Aku kenal LP. Tak la gila sangat sebab masa tu belum kenal internet, buzznet, LiveJournal, etc (dan macam biasa, aku takde geng :( ). Tapi aku memang crazy! Sanggup redah Petaling Street untuk cari CD bootleg Meteora (As for Hybrid Theory, aku rasa adik aku tolong burnkan CD, sekali dengan album Limp Bizkit yang Chocolate Starfish tu) Ya, sebab masa tu gaji aku kecik (alah, sekarang pun kau bukannya beli CD ori pun Zack) :P Aku suka sangat dua album LP ni!

Lepas album Meteora, aku stop jap, iaitu masa LP release album Reanimation ngan colloboration ngan Jay-Z tu. Ugh, hip hop? Aku lebih suka yang original version!

And from wikipedia:

Linkin Park recently performed 6 songs for AOL Sessions, which will be released a couple of weeks before the new album hits stores. The live set will consist of 3 new songs, as well as 3 older songs. (I love those AOL sessions!!!)

The video for "What I've Done" will premiere on MTV and Fuse on April 2nd. *squee again!!!!*

OMG!!!! The kitty’s getting fatter!!!!! (heh, totally random LP quote sebab aku terlalu excited!!!)


Picture from Galaxie Magazine blog, the link is at my sidebar. Thanks a lot!
l-r : Brad, Chester, Mike, Phoenix, Rob & Mr Hahn.

Ah, MyChem And LP, both the love of my life!

Dua2 pun aku suka sebab…

1. Diorang tulis material sendiri

2. The oh-so-relevant-to-me lyrics
3. Frontmen yang fulamakatak gila babi best! (Mike & Chester v Gerard Way)
4. The artwork! (Gee and Mike Shinoda are both talented artists)
5. The music videos, which is soooo awesome!
6. The DVD’s (Frat Party, I love thee, and rasanya nak layan lagi malam nih)
7. Chester berkongsi minat dengan aku – kitaorang dedua paling2 tak suka lagu One Step Closer :P
8. Aku suka sebab Chester ialah seorang ayah, tapi dia masih rock! Dan dia sebaya dengan aku!!!! (Happy belated 31st birthday Chezz!!!)
9. Mr Hahn!!! Hehe, chubbynya sekarang!
10. Eh Brad, what’s with the fro? :) Haha, sekarang dedua guitarist fave aku ada fro. LOLOLOLOL!!!
11. Dan dua2 band pun pernah menyebabkan aku kena marah/ brainwash gila babi punya teruk (dengan ex- tunang (for LP, dalam tahun 2001 /now hubby (for MCR), circa 2007) sebab terlalu obsess. YAY!!!!! Aku memang terror(ist) !!!

Shite, aku juga dengar rumors yang MCR akan join LP untuk Projekt Revolution 2007. (dan juga mungkin menampilkan Placebo (oh Brian Molko, the original guyliner!, Taking Back Sunday, maybe. Adam Lazarra squee!!)

Oh noes,

*hyperventilating*
*dengar balik What I’ve Done*
*wipes tears*


Edited:

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!
It’s finally here!!!!

New vid screencap from LPRussia.com

Ahem *maintain composure*.

But I love it that they’re all in
BLACK!!!!!
(Thanks for the heads up, Sha!)

I CAN’T WAIT!!! *pengsan*

The Kill

What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you

What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life ?
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you (from you)

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am.

Provehito In Altum

From the album ‘A Beautiful Lie’


I got my period today.
I just don’t know how to feel anymore.
Give me my happy pills and pray that there’ll be a light at the end of the fucking tunnel. (T_T)

I'm a number cruncher, married and a mother to 2 handsome young boys ~ Ikmal & Nabil. Also a self-confessed movie freak, a walking dictionary of useless facts and I just love swapping postcards. I love loud music, black t-shirts, good books and hot caramel macchiato. I hate hypocrisy, the colour pink, rude people, busy-bodies and those with 'holier than thou' attitude. :) I blog 'coz I hate talking. In real life, I'm this quiet person, often immersed in my own virtual world of obsessions, work and whatnot. Comments, suggestions, brickbats (even virtual cupcakes!) are loved, as long as you use the proper channels a.k.a the comments thingy or my e-mail ~ zackzip [at] hotmail [dot] com.
