Come out from 504, after hanging out with Wen Eu, Gopi and Jessey , i see two cop cars outside the house two doors down and opposite. There were two police officers inside the house asking for ID. I was thinking, oh... hisap ganja la (smoking weed). Then i made a phone call, and suddenly i see the police officers running toward me. *hmm fake officers? i was thinking to myself* so i just stop and look at them. So they ask me are you james? >_<" wa... do i look white at night? showed them my id, and they go "oh he's asian".
hmm... okay... thanks for the surprise. Hmm wonder what james did to get the cops to go looking for him door to door(at least his door or something).
hmm..did he steal my tires?!

Look out your window
What you see now
Wasn't there before
I look into your eyes
and all i see is your worries
Your struggle to smile, don't fool me
Somethings wrong,And oh its never been this clear
May mercy find it's way to you
And grace shine its light on you
Cause i m not singing this no more (2X)
Somebody save her heart
Before he looks into her eyes
Somebody save her heart
Before he speaks those words
Somebody save her from that stranger
that she calls love.
Somebody save this origami girl
Stop shaping your hands to your face
Oh they fit so perfectly,
But theres not where they belong
Maybe the time is not right,
For these two hearts
To beat as one
Maybe there s just too many maybes
adding layers to these walls
May mercy find it's way to you
And grace shine its light on you
Cause i m not singing this no more (2X)
Somebody save her heart
Before he looks into her eyes
Somebody save her heart
Before he speaks those words
Somebody save her from that stranger
that she calls love.
Love...
My origami girl... (3x)
The tell me what should i do look
that you give me now
Is one part cute,
and one part gloomy
Tell me its not attraction
Fold one, Fold two
Turn one into,
You..
origami girl
Lets just sit here all night
I have been here before
New Look
New blog under construction, this blog is almost reaching its saturation age.
Here's the possible new one
where i try templates out
Origami Girl
Drinking, fruit punch + rum... taste pretty fruity.
I actually have song sorta written in my mind, its called what the post is called, something about today. It was a pretty laid back day, the second half of it at least. I woke up early to pack the remaining stuff from my old place and move out.
So yeah,pretty sleepy but hehe kinda happy. oh yeah will be going for projekt revolution .
There will be a cocktail of rock bands like armor for sleep, atreyu, linkin park!,chris cornell, the bravery, ashes divide, hawtorne height, 10 years and street drum corps.
Nights out when the lights are out.
Joshua Radin (06/23/2008)
Hulk Angry
hehe, made it to the semifinals, thats when we didnt make it cause the ball bounced out >_<", our arm slams the ball pretty hard, didn't put enough tape on it to prevent the bounce or the ball was a bouncy one. hmm anyways... wasn't too bad. had fun wearing M sized hulk shirts(kids size keep in mind) and ripping it in front of people.hehe... Oh yeah, i know why my battery keeps dying on me. The battery was bloated, a leak i presume. Any longer it would have blown. Woke up, early to see the doc today,he said i injured one of my ligaments. Anyways, am posting the videos for the concert, will put it up maybe tomorrow or something. Finals coming up next then, getting car license, car etc. LOL.... On the go ...
PS- watched "i m not here" a movie about Bob Dylan's different facets in his life portrait by different others, really confused about what the movie is about..
Hulk Smash
Me2110 competition later today, just got done with the CAD drawings. Next time, i won't volunteer to do it all myself like a hero, took me about 30 hours, numerous parts but yeah got it done.
Gonna see the doctor in about 5 hours for my ankle, i cant walk much without the stabilizer because it feels a bit loose and weird.
Status: very tired but happy too.
The machine is called hulk, or the incredible hulk not too sure myself, i know.. how can i be not sure. LOL, guess what we are wearing >_<", incredible hulk shirts that the rest got from wallmart most likely from the kids section. Here are the pictures, will post videos of the competition later, if my phone doesnt go quiet on me again,something about the N series and battery life that make its user very unhappy.
PS- Hey, sara-mei i took your recommendation into consideration and guess what, i went for joshua radin's concert on wednesday. It was soul warming lol... anyways, how do i contact you online, since you take pretty long to reply my emails. :)
Peace out
In need of a chill pill
My ankle is getting better i think, it doesnt hurt as much but wearing the stabilizer all day is a bit uncomfortable.
My day was from 9 a.m, - 2.00 am, today, another stressful day. Tomorrow aint so tame by that standards too. Sometimes i feel like i m reaching my limit, like today i can feel its toll on my body. I have to wake u so much earlier to get to class on time, injured ankles need attention too.
I will be going Joshua Radin's concert, Vanessa Carlton is opening, i decided i m gonna need something relaxing :), you want anything from the concert? yes you =]
Donnie Darko
Finally watched it, the best saddest movie i have watched.
here's the link, check it out.
http://www.surfthechannel.com/info/Movies/Movies_all/46545/Donnie+Darko.html?aid=43276&part=1
sad,beautiful ending...with a beautifully sad song.
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world
A beautiful movie that addresses all our fears, our ids's fears. Getting hurt, Losing a loved one, and being alone.
Ankle Hurts
Guess what folks, i dislocated my ankle while playing soccer today, yes the right if you will ask.
Oh, yeah the good part is that i got to talk to some brits who were here for vacation 3 of em and a girl. They have been traveling a lot too, couch surfing etc.
Anyways,looks like i wont be walking much, didn't notice how loose my ankle was till i took out my shoes. Gonna have take a trip to the health center when its open.
On a brighter note,there some sort of progress with song writing and recording. Planning to get something down at maxi s place tomorrow. And yeah no beer wiffle ball for this week, or maybe even longer.
i guess it happened for a reason, not really that scared but its been 2 hours and the pain seems to be getting a bit more intense. Will keep ya posted. Was reading my older blogs and just notice how helpful keeping a blog is :) you get to relieve you thoughts back then. "hmm..why did i right that? oh yeah...! "
I would like to thank BT for bringing me to cvs which was closed then walmart to get this exact ankle stablizer :)
Have a nice weekend.
PS- Was thinking about "dig" so yeah i learned it, :) and i think its almost time i close this blog.
Something new...
My body still aches from 3 and a 1/2 hours of running yesterday, so yeah what the heck. Woke up in the morning, 9 am (pagi pagi buta for me, on a weekend, dont get much sleep on weekdays) to go to wallmart and get junkfood lol..what a waist of time, even bought boxers that were too tight around my thighs, its the same size as a few months ago, i just got bigger because of cycling everywhere.
Oh back with the title, "something new"
basically the something new was,
1. Start drinking right after lunch, till dinner.
2. Playing beer wiffle( i think that's how its spelled, its baseball with beer in play) with pat and the gang.
3. Watching two movies in recovery stage, and having sub hangovers while i m awake. Hmm... jessey, yan hui dave i think the beer was talking, in the cinema. oops..
Oh yeah, that danish wine (42 % alcohol)... >_<" what were they thinking, texture like beer, as strong as vodka smells fruity, drank a bit of that, not too bad prolly have more of it when BC gets back.
Oh my, i have a lot of catching up with work to do tomorrow, been playing around the first half of the weekend, just like always... how you doing?
Just
All dressed and nowhere to go
As the rain hugs my wait
The doors i carved out
Blindfolded this morning,
with that broken tea cup piece
staring into that reflection
from right under my feet looking right back at me
Not much thinking just too much action
who is this i m looking at, i feel a shiver
I sit down and wonder
Whats their story,
All those cars passing by
Is it anything like mine?
I dont need nobody
To tell me what's wrong
Cause i have had enough of this bullshit
Just do me this favor
I have had too much to savor
Maybe you disapprove of this behavior
So why don't you add some flavor
onto this bruised endavour.
That's when i said
somebody save her heart before i look into her eyes
somebody save her heart before i speak those words
somebody save her from this stranger who calls himself me
somebody... somebody... somebody...
somebody save her heart before i look into her eyes
somebody save her mind before i speak those words
somebody save her from me, somebody...
Stop This Train
Been offline, for a bit, no laptop for almost two weeks, not too bad i guess.
I have more time to do other stuff. :) like write songs.
I m current fascinated with this composition by John Mayer, think i m gonna learn this
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
Once in awhile, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
3 Minute Post
At Ingrid's
Houston, ah we got problem...
Just got back from Houston, my dad was there, got to visit him... :) really glad. its been awhile since i saw my family and friends. really miss you all.
Went out to look for dinner at 12.30 am. LOL... everything's close even city cafe and lucky buddha. So i tried something rather unusual, bk's drive thru with a bicycle, mcds was right next to it but was a bit embarassed lol (BK s dead, kinda shows how mcds monopolies the fast food industry in the US).
BK's was close so i decided to go get something from the gas station, well thats what the lady told me.Maybe i scared her. Anyways, it was a pretty ghetto night. The store owner was indian (thank you come again u see in harold and kumar)with people going there to buy liquor. black dude, white ragged dressed girls.
not much in there so i got OJ( quite a number of ppl mentioned OJ today like the pms-ing lady on the train and the sick guy in the gas station) and 3 instant noodle cups(wat hungry la), erm... when i came out this white girl and guy(couple i think) pung-ed (stoned) on something came asking for change for a phone call i dont have change.. so they asked me for my phone...
you guess la what happened next
well..i gave them my phone la... the girl was trying to assure me they werent gonna steal the phone... slow talk while the guy made a call.. damn it...well nothing happened... thank God.
Imagine me chasing them down with a bike, the fastest i can go is around 20 mphs, i tried racing with vivienne's 50 cc 30 mph skooter lol..
Well that was just one hour of my day.. what a way to start my monday.
Long week, two exams and homeworks, along with my me2110.
i better stop sleeping in any of my classes.
:) looking forward to ingrid michaelson hehe...
a break in between the weekdays :P have a nice one y'all...
Spring 2008 Graduates

Anyways, Ding's leaving later in the morning. Thanks for everything Ding.

Here's the video. My movie maker is still a bit weird, i think i m gonna uninstall it and

Oops I did it again

And now after my practice session with maxi, at his place... what a day..
not feeling to well too, wonder why. Headache, feverish(but no fever), sore throat, lower left abdominal pain. Hmm , anyone have an idea?
:)
that smile is for everyone who has had a rough day, take care.
Forever Classics
Kiss Me ;)
Was thinking about stuff when i was younger, which reminded me of this song. Pretty innocent, and sweet just the way i used to think love was :)
ain't she nice looking :P
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
"Still Waters Run Deep"
i'm uploading a video and fixing the keyboard i got from ding. Now if my guitar string breaks(which currently is true for both guitars) i still have something to play.
So i decide to blog as well...am sleepy, though thinking of whether i should go workout or sleep ( havent done much of both recently, no one but myself to be blamed).
I found something i allegedly lost too... all that in two hours... thinking of going to ingrid michaelson's concert and some others too that are coming to ATL in summer. Depending on when i get my license lol.. been procrastinating for so long.
A video which from the radiohead concert that i just uploaded from my phone, since i duno when...
Some winter pics >>> TADA
Summer Madness
Sometimes i wonder, how and why i get myself into the things i get myself into. Don't you?
"Life" in tech has been so busy; my crazy spring semester, and now after like 10 days of holidays i'm headed for a fiery summer schedule. I just made my schedule for the semester on google calendar and it looks as if it would be better if i just marked which days i didnt have to do anything... i just "crayoned" the entire calendar.
and a few hours ago i got my overload request for one of my classes approved, so i added it (5 subjects in total). after setting up my scheduled, the only way i can describe myself if i went ahead with that amount was "insane". Everyone kept telling me, die la you die... lol..., i m kinda hard headed, i was about to take two labs at first so if that was the case 9am to 9 pm, Mondays and Wednesdays.
LOL... i got the tuition waiver for the summer semester, yay! but i have to do at least 12 credit hours. So here i m with 4 subjects and 13 credit hours. LOL... to top that i have to get my license, a car and move here and there cause i wanna visit people (I WANT!). Damn, this semester is really gonna be hectic? I guess i better pucker up. Working in fall, hmm...
Major dilema
Anyone wanna exchange schedules? pls? :S
Looks like this blog is gonna be left very much unattended.
Wonder what i m gonna do besides school... >_<"
Radiohead in Atlanta
wohoo... paid 80 bucks for middle seats but what the heck it was worth it. psychedelic music but need no drugs to appreciate it....awesome... really, i went there liking two song come back liking more than i thought i would, besides the traffic everything else was good even the rain. played soccer today in the heat, feels like something new to me... even though its only been about 8 months since i played in the hot weather.
here are the videos, i couldnt find my camera so i ended up using a friends one, but couldnt get good sound quality. thanks nonetheless :) to the ppl who made my day.
Preconcert!!!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
the part 2 has pretty bad sound quality but i think the rest are not too bad,will upload the one from my phone soon, that should sound decent. :) nokias rock!!! lol
Do miss everyone i care about, i know duh! :)

Live Music Tuesday @ MLR, GATECH
I know, "my blog's flooded with videos" lol... taking pictures, drawing them with words takes a bit of time, so for now videos. :) Anyways, how else would i show you right?
Gelabah gila, nervous i lost tempo and could hit notes with my falcerto... haha anyways
had fun :P will be playing again with Nic and Maxi on Friday, for coffeehouse.
:) Hope you enjoyed it, and thanks to those who came today, appreciate it.
Videos are in order of the way we played them? i didn't know when i was playing(had ask "whats next" >_<") now i m not so sure either...
Relient - Be My Escape
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
Oasis - Wonderwall
Saosin - You're Not Alone
Maroon 5 - Won't Go Home Without You
Oh yeah, guitars' volumes weren't balanced.. :P
and my camera ran out of memory ( i didn't remove the older videos in it lol) during Glen Hansard - falling slowly. We also played Pink Floyd's Wish You were here, John Mayer's dreaming with a broken heart, Biffy Clyro - Machines and Cherry Tree Love ;).
Have a nice week, prolly won't be blogging till later, need to housing etc.
Sting Break!!!
Buzz... buzz... thats what my head is doing, 3 weeks ago, i was given an assignment to write a paper for my ethics class. I chose to write about Hwang's Stem Cell Scandal. I finished about an hour ago. I am now without sleep.
why? 3 weeks crammed into a day not a very good idea, y'all better not do this. I even went for that Ok go and Cartel concert on campus. This is a video on youtube, not mine. I think mine has better audio and worse visual. I took it with my phone. Anyways,ciao...
If you don't remember ok go
here you go..
This is one of the acoustic songs the played, which i thought was cool(not cruel)
btw, both bands rocked live, by my standards at least...
Masquerade
Went with Maxi to check out Biffy Clyro at masquerade. Very shady venue... old building,warehouse i think converted into a "bar" kinda place.
Smelling like cigarettes and liquor now. Let's just say alcohol and smoking is now ridiculously associated with rock music. Weatherbox, Biffy Cyro, Manchester Orchestra and Say Anything played. All new bands to me.Scottish, Biffy Cyro sounded not too bad, a lot of energy live.
Hmmm, like other concerts, not much asians there, one indonesian and one malaysian.
A handful of scotts and americans.
Hehe.. have fun with the videos...
(Biffy Clyro)
(Manchester Orchestra)
Earth Hour
Am i turning imsomniac?
"Trippin' Gracefully"
Been having back to back action, juggling everything at once. It's been busy since spring break ended,making it from one deadline to the other. Got the weekends to catch a breathe and match up the pace.. 3 tests next week.
I haven't got time to blog about my aunts and cousins :P. Really like em'. Felt like home, aunt sue reminded me of my mum who miss so much. I always missed her even when i was back at malaysia and away from home. Its a bit different now.
"Stepping clear, walking, running passionately"
Good night, World...
I am so tired...
Take me the way i am...
If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.
Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.
If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.
Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.
I'd buy you Rogaine if you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
Viva Las Vegas
"Stuck" in the city where gambling and prostitution is legal. How ironic, not even 21 to do all that stuff, so yeah "stuck" not saying i want to LOL. Eh mugilan batamale if you are reading this, I m in Vegas.
Started of the day doing my laundry, and packing. Then i went to the tornado site with MB on foot. It was like a 10 minutes walk again. Mugi went there to "ambil yang buruk", the pictures. I guess that s what most reporters do. Anyways, for a tornado it hit pretty bad. Damaged cars, trees and poles uprooted, shattered windows on skyscrapers. Hope no one was injured. Everything was wet and rainy, till we started feeling stuff falling from the sky. Mugi shouted eh glass falling of the building... i was like **** die... painful!!! Turned out to be hailstones. From coin sized to golf ball sized ones.
All went, change and went to a Temple in Atlanta, my first time going to a temple since i got here. Kalai anna and deepa anni took me there. (for the record kalai's name is kalai mugilan, see how many mugi's i know?).
Well the weather didn't only govern that part of the day. My flight got delayed, so i missed my connecting flight in vegas, and my re-scheduled flight is at 9.28 a.m. LOL. So yeah, stuck here hungry nothing opens but in one hour unless i wanna go "eat" starbucks. Well at least they gave me first class tickets and a meal voucher (should have taken the hotel voucher too).
Oh yeah, got this cute looking family sitting with me on the plane, smart kids or maybe i just think all kids are fun. The girl kicked me when she was falling asleep, then when i woke up from sleep a few hours into flight, i found her sleeping on my hand >_<" i couldn't move, kids need sleep mah. Her parents were sleeping too.Daddy was latino mummy was whitey... baby look confusing to me... 3 kids, boy look whitey, sis s look latino to me. To top that, i had to go to the lavatory! lol..instead i just sat still waiting for the plane to land. So yeah that was about half an hour. Now here i am stuck in mccaran airport, blogging!@#$^ Better lessen blogging, nanti blog meletup. Anyways here are some pics, not gonna get much sleep tonight. Have a nice sunday. Oh yeah the internet in the airport pretty fast, almost as fast as GATECH's.
The re-booking of the Tickets
The "plane" ,vegas airport tiles :P
The only thing that makes Mccaran different, a casino. >_<" And thats where THE sleeping place is for me tonight.
Sorry, auntie, made you wait at the airport :P. Haven't seen her and my two cousin's before. hehe.. looking forward.
Oh yeah i know what you guys going are going to say looking at the size of my bag, "are you going back?" or maybe "you are staying for a week right?" yeah..! one week la.. lol.
Over and out.
The morning before...
Doing my packing now, i mean laundry first.
I was so high and tired yesterday, when Victor who is in kansas told me about the tornado that hit Atlanta. I told him it cant be that near lah... anyways i was too tired to do anything. Today i woke up to find out it happened in downtown, like what 1 km away? >_<" Leave it to me to sleep through a storm. It looks pretty bad on the news. CNN headquarters in Atlanta got hit also, got helicopters scouring the area for leftover news at the moment.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/15/storm.video/index.html
Thank God it didnt hit tech, i would have woken up in a drain if i did wake up..lol..
Gtg, need to pack already. Stay tuned.
GL Atlanta, spring comes in with tornados? Yikes... :S
Up till yesterday, i was gonna take a concorde
>_<" Misread my air ticket, i thought i was reaching SF at 1.37 Atlanta time lol... wth... turned out i was wrong,deepa anni told me , thank goodness. local time vs. atlanta time... how on earth will the flight only take less than 4 hours? lol... About 1300km/h... thats pretty fast for commercial planes. Silly me, lol...i tot i was in my blunder turns out i was the only one who got it wrong haha...
Anyways, here's the poster of the week. Hello, spring break!
And if you are looking for a movie to watch, here's one thats not too bad just to chill out, a light one.

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
Watched this movie a last semester and today, its based on book by Dee Brown. Kinda reflects on mankind actually. Human ego, to think that one is better of the other and force ones values upon another , the "uncivilized"; a favor they say. It's also very common nature (not human nature) to fear the unknown. The Native Indians in the movie were continually oppressed by whites by forcing their rules and culture on to them. All the killings, the innocent children , women and men.
You can see it the extent of this "nature" in life i m sure... The weak fear the unknown, the brave ones with reasoning tries to understand it.
Force, yes is a straightforward means of conveying something, a straight line. Can't people be more creative? Whats the use of reasoning if you don't use it?
Anyways, something i can relate this to is people discriminating against your culture and traditions. At one point, i think i was baffled by the dilemma of whether "my" culture is really all that "pointless". I m sure now of one thing, after 20 years... culture & traditions are what make us who we are, lose it and lose your identity. Lose your identity and you stop being part of the society you are from. I have come to learn to be proud of your own heritage and be respectful of others. You may say, blindly flowed traditions? That's what reasoning is for...
The righteous see with their heart through their minds.
So only let only one break at a time...
0159 to 0300
Conservation of time? DST kicks in again, so now we have just lost one hour of sleep. hehe anyways, how do you drive six guys with two cars that can fit five people in each of it? You only drive one and sit like a bunch of baby hamsters, getting there was fine.. getting back wasn't. Why?
We ate chinese buffet for ten bucks; we literally ate all we can (8 plates to a person?) i m pretty sure we lifted a few eye brows. We were so full we almost puked in the car. If anyone of us did puke, the rest would have too. Tak cukup macam tu, kita orang cuba buat lawak pulak haha...
one of the most fun outings i would say. :P
LOL, did some shooting earlier on today..tried BC s AK47 (WASR-10) and some "baretta" - 9 mm riffle. Thanks BC.
Thanks Mugi for dinner...
Thanks Ding for the printer/scanner.
Oh my... i left my laundry in the dryer for 7+1 one hour, see ya.. better get some sleep too.
PS - About the opposition party winning... i guess its time. The way we hanged out today seemed like we partied in celebration of the whole thing.. >_<"
Meet Lady Candy
I ve not been myself lately
Just like always mate,
I can't quite put my finger on it
In fact, i can't find my way out of here
Candy in my mouth,
Plenty more where it came from
Trying hard to mount,
our dreams together
Not going so well, well maybe
baby, we're just so crazy we're lacy
You make it seem like there's
Candy in my pants
Plenty more in your mouth,
Trying hard to hold you together
Not going too well either,
Well maybe it doesn't bother me
Pretty lady swing your stares in this direction,
you need to get some other kinda attention,
Don't you think so?
Cause i ve been so much of a stranger lately...
What're these roses doing in my hands?
Especially for Ros >_<"
Nah this is what i look like
If you don't believe here got more pictures..

Let's start here...shall we?
This one only plays 30 seconds because the artist hasn't give permission to imeem to play it. Actually the artist doesn't know how to give permission lol...
Here's the "full" song..

A March into March
Guess what i m doing again? what else...
Yeap, doing my laundry 3.30 a.m. in the morning... almost done. So what's happening?
Well, yesterday i went to a monster truck show with bc,bh and mugi. They went to the shooting range today but i wanted to get some work done instead. LOL... i'm pretty sure it was fun, they got to try like ten different guns.
Oh yeah, we were among the few asians at the monster truck thing. Well, people stereotype the americans who watch Monster Truck shows to be "rednecks". On the contrary, they seemed to be polite, well even the drunk lady who spilled beer on bh and me was polite enough to apologize. Even if her bf asked her to do it.
It's not something i would do everyday, but yeah it was fun, something new and LOUD...
Today, had taco/burrito.. one of it not even mine... with Maxy ,Ronald,Naiyo and Ruben... eh, i think i still have marker marks on my nose.. :S
Still hungry now, wanna go make something for my stomach while i wait for the files to be converted. BRB...
Back still haven't eaten anything yet, was just wondering how hilarious it would be in the future, when i look back at my blog and have this part of my varsity life so well documented.So here's what it looked like,
Couples placed around the "garden" area of my apartment complex. All kinds of couple(no need to describe that i'm pretty sure you know), there a cute one near the laundry area, looks like they are having fun talking, been there for sometime already, that sweet atmosphere? :) u remember/know? Reminds me of the luxuries i had last time, people to talk to. Don't do it too much anymore, can't tell whether i should or not. Sharing gets drowned by experience after awhile; well maybe. Anyways,thats just me thinking...
Laundry... Actually is a good analog of life actually; a cycle. Clean at first, Used part by part till you run out of clean ones, Then you do your "laundry", fold it ( i skip this normally) and it's start at one again.
oh my... we played cs today, lan party, old school LOL... they played real cs on me... too. Ding shot me twice with his bb gun, BC another two. Not to mention kept, pointing his wasr-1o at me.
*clack clack* scary...
Oh yeah, about cam-whoring don't do it la...take it from me. Very tiring and waste of time. Just wanted to take some pictures of my haircut, >_<" i had to wear such an "outstanding shirt" ... Got it in Vegas... http://git.facebook.com/album.php?aid=29668&l=19b0d&id=703971090
Love songs, i ll write but
Rain?
It's almost zero...and ice flakes fall from the sky, i was wondering what would they call it since its ice before it hits the ground. Google says its rain LOL.
Anyways, my new haircut on a bright note is neater & and i don't have to worry about it when i wake up from sleep and wash it less. Long hair does have some pros too it to besides looking good,
it keeps my ears and face warm. I noticed my ears get cold very fast compared to before. LOL...
Gonna get some supper before i sleep, mashed potatoes and mushroom soup maybe?
Two tests/exams to do, one on Wednesday, the other on Thursday. Not to mention homework and other things on my to do list. Those were the days...
i think a lot about people nowadays and try to stay in contact with them,but i know sooner a later i m gonna miss out someone. It's hard to keep in touch with people you know and don't see as often anymore in this face paced walk we are in and we meet more people as we go. Anyone reading this blog, and i haven't contacted in awhile, just give me a nudge-leave a comment-a phone call-whatever-you-wanna; i haven't forget about you,well most likely ;). I just have been busy.
PS - One of my friends found the video BC posted, the one with me and balloons in it..goofing around campus... >_<" damn shy, wei...
Excessively wishing,
Apunno sini yan, Bon Nuit.. Wan an... Irravu vanakam, Selamat Malam, Buenas Noches, Kalinishta, Gute Nacht and Good night
Corte De Pelo
I finally got my haircut, you see?
and i decided to make a "dorky" video of it... not gonna keep it up for long, so you wont use it against me. If you want to... you ll have to go through trouble of downloading it. :P
Cold yet amiable,

Dreaming with A Broken Heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my , roses in my hands?
Would you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
Sleepyhead
Well, i was doing some reading for my ethics midterm, then i decided to do my laundry which has been sitting there for ages. No more clean clothes.
Anyways, well you know how reading makes people tired, makes me tired. So i decided to take a half an hour nap. You know la how this half an hour nap business goes. haha... when the alarm rang i ended up convincing myself i didn't need to get it now."It's not going anywhere,and there are a lot of machines" .I ll just get it when i wake up. Hey don't la blame me, tired.
Damn, didn't do much reading. Gonna have to sleep late today. hmm...i m starting to like assignments/homework? Maybe i m just nuts.
GTG... class in a bit.
Note: Never take your laundry for granted.
When?
Running and living lies in circles...
Wake up over and over again
To the familiar sound of my alarm...
When does it stop ringing,
And i wake up in a different place
Somewhere...else...
I'm tired... i m done for..
Just now... only now...
Almost heartless,
Turning away from what i used to be
Frustrated...Maybe even scared
When will i
The clock is ticking
when.
Matchbox Twenty
Remember when i went for it? January 28th... and i only compiled the videos today. Been really busy. BC has been complaining about me not blogging enough.
Anyways,here is how it roughly went...
First Opening Act: Mutemath
They were pretty good, like this song amongst the other. Its called typical.
Second Opening Act: Alanis Morissette
It was good. :)
MAIN EVENT: MATCHBOX TWENTY!!!
Oh my... they were amazing, chills everywhere. Was worth the waiting they put us through due to some technical difficulties with the visual/lights. Then they just came on stage after they figured we came here to LISTEN to them.
I couldn't just stay still even though the camera s and the chairs initially held me back. So i just moved elsewhere. Hey, i came here for the concert didn't i? So yeap, i didn't take that many videos of em.. :) They only got better after this one ... Wish you were here.
Anyways, seats i had weren't the best to take a video haha. Only regret i had was that my camera couldn't take clearer videos.
Here's the final bit, had some videos i took before and during the concert. The carpark incident where i believe we almost pissed the cops off. I mean you cant blame us parking was like 20 bucks it took us awhile to decide whether to go or not.
Almost got caught, then we didn't pay for parking in the end...Ala Malaysian.
Attitude: "Signs are meant to be read after passing them; do then read". Doesn't work at all... Anyways hope you had fun. Apologies for the video quality.
Happy Weekend.
Be safe
"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish."~ Albert Einstein
PS -Did i mention it was amazing? LOL... did i scream enough?
"Also i see white people", barely any asians/ african americans , saw one group of latinos pretty much that...
This is one of the clearer videos i could find on youtube. "Push" remember this ?
"Push"

Weird weather, weird people. Of all the days i pick today to wear less, something about me and the weather, we go separate ways but its all good just feels naked when the wind blows like i m wearing nothing.

CNY Eve Tornado
Aiyo... just woke, was singing and happy till i checked my mail...
Good morning { what the heck, good morning? you kidding me? }
Powerful thunderstorms are heading towards north Georgia and metro
Atlanta this morning and afternoon. A tornado watch has been issued
for the metro area and will be in effect until 2 p.m.
The storms have already killed at least 11 people in Arkansas, 13 in
Tennessee and three in Kentucky. The severe storms damaged buildings
at Union University in Jackson on Tuesday night, injuring 16 people.
Union University president David Dockery said one-third of the campus
was either damaged or destroyed.
If a tornado warning is issued for the Atlanta area, faculty, staff,
and students should seek shelter in the basement or in the interior
corridors, stairways, or rooms of the lowest floor of the building.
If time does not permit, you should move to the bathroom area or
closet and take cover. Stay away from windows. Individuals should
remain inside the protected areas and refrain from going outside to
watch. {Easy pick, bathrooms thats where i feel safe..}
Faculty, staff and students can (and should) sign up for Weather
Alerts. To subscribe, send an e-mail to sympa@lists.gatech.edu with a
subject of "subscribe gtpd-weatheralerts-public" (without quotes).
This is a separate system than the Georgia Tech Emergency
Notification System (GTENS); it is unlikely that we would have time
to send out a GTENS alert during a sudden and threatening weather
situation like a tornado. What on earth... ><" wats the point as though all people in Tech carry something to check their mail all the time.. hmm ... do they? i don't but at least they got the automated call thing.. but this isn't really necessary mah...
Emergency preparedness is everyone's responsibility, and we
appreciate your assistance in being part of the solution.
Andy Altizer
Director of Emergency Preparedness
{wow... this one... i didnt see coming, did they have this before or
did they just make this position today}... will find out...

Something, i went for yesterday. This talk about paranormal stuff from a scientific point of view, well sorta,rationalized ideas. Some seem pretty real though. So do you believe in ghosts or hauntings? i just found out yesterday that hauntings is not only used to describe ghostly sightings. (check out the sexorcism) Some white dude who goes by the name veteran paranormal investigator Loyd Auerbach.
1. Lois of livermore
2.The sexorcism
3. U.S.S Hornet
brb...gtg go out do something.. will come back with the links for the stories or you can of find em by yourselves :) Google, Your Wonder !
The Trouble with Cooking for Yourself
erm... eating now *pout*... cooked something for dinner... no kk so had to cook, decided to try something new...
mee(no... i had to throw in half a packet) + tofu balls + carrots + oyster sauce + ketchup manis (watchamacallit) + pepper = me with a funky face...
so yeap...an entire pot of funky tasting food... for me.. anyone wants some?

Never mind first step to becoming good at cook, good at eating what you cooked gone bad.
