julia roberts just called..

back from the movies. watched ocean's twelve. i could have actually enjoyed it mann..if it wasnt for the fact that i was in a terribly cynical mood. or maybe i have high expectations. or maybe i was just distracted by brad. hah!

i kinda regretted dragging my parents and sick (she has a fever) sister to watch the damn movie. we could have just sat at some nice restaurant with a good view and talk about how the guy at the next table looks like a distant cousin whose wife had abortion. they do that all the time and they (esp dad) do it with a straight face and of course they speak in bidayuh so no one understands, only us. we are such sadistics. anyway, today is my parents' 25th wedding anniversary and their selfish little freaking (quote "do you have to use that word?...would u call emily dickinson a freak?" - ocean's 12) daughter pulled them to watch a movie that she could hardly enjoy even though she desperately wanted to. hell! if u asked me out to watch this a maybe few days ago i would have shrieked and give u a big hug and maybe buy u lunch (or dinner but hopefully not breakfast) too. crap, my point is that this is big event, (cmon 25 years marrriage??) and for the shitty fact that my parents really cant afford to celebrate it properly (no thanks to a "sis" in KL) they insisted that we have it small scale. and i really want them to have the best small scale wedding anniversary celebration. but i screwed it all by choosing a movie that i didnt actually want to watch at the moment. bah, humbug!

but its done innit? my parents are happy enough with it and its cool by me. wait-a-minute..they are happy..im not happy..but i dont matter..why am i so troubled? bleh..

since its wednesday, there was a lot of ppl in star. i didnt want to bump into anyone i noe. so i avoided contact. the only two times i looked straight at someone on random pulse, (both guys) both smiled at me. yikes! the second one had a smile like "the massacre" without braces. lol. the thought if him made me feel sick with hate. argh. of all the things..

on the way back, i was looking at cars (u noe, those ah beng ones) and planning what time to play need for speed underground 2 on my bro's com. he taught me this afternoon and its really cool!! he teaches me a lot of stuff. and yeah, he's my mentor for really shit-in-your-face-smart-ass jokes. aha.

i have an inflamation (or something) on my right eye and its blocking my sight. god, my eyes are bad enough, why do i need this and make it worse?? listening to lotsa michael buble lately. therapeutic. i think im allergic to those aromatherapy oils stuff. done all my tution. free on tuesdays. i refuse to go to two add maths tution class. i think im gonna learn sape or some trad dance or maybe percussion at dayak cultural foundation. thats all folks.

quote from ocean's 12 - what the hell did i just say??

oh wait, there's another one i like
- you think im 50? lemme ask you something..how old do you think i am?
- 48?
- nope
- erm..52?

(we all laugh but now you're thinking, what the hell is she talking about? haha, gotcha =)

geramnya...

its christmas ppl!! its coming soon anyway...so pls be nice to me. and im not joking. pissed off with some stupid liar. he almost killed my christmas spirit. argh! but since its almost christmas im gonna be nice (for now) and send you all christmas e-cards.

christmas isnt christmas

ah. almost a week to christmas. and two weeks to school. pmr results are due soon. and i don't feel anything. just anxiety, uncertainty, doubt. numb.

i havent been writing these few days. and thats why. im a total blank. a walking zombie. a CONFUSED zombie. without the whole fuss of chemistry books. it's crazy i tell u.

band better get up and get going soon. practices and stuff. but nothing is happpening and i feel so helpless. what more, every time we go to emily's place, i dont actually do much and i feel like a total idiot but for some weird reason, i want to do something, ANYTHING!! but i dont know what, how. i havent seen a hint of preparations for the "band display" for the form 1s orientation. why?? it's like the pri.6 audition whatever. IT NEVER HAPPENED. and i went to all the trouble to plan the whole thing in my head should ms tan and the form 4s give the thumbs up. crap la.

my bro is back with karen. they wanna watch white chicks. while my bro is setting up his computer (which has the dvd drive) they're still watching love actually. i've watched both already so i'm staying on the computer.

my sis is having her christmas play this weekend. we are watching on sunday. i went to the full dress rehearsal. the kids are so cute!!! mostly kids there lar. oldest is around my age, a year older. kira young lah tu. anyway, my sis told me bout this kid, who's acting the part of joseph. his name is sean, sonia's youngest bro. if any kid is considered hot, its him. he's also really nice to everyone, esp the girl acting as mary. you shud have seen them!! well, they didnt have any cordless mike then, so they had to keep passing the mike around. anyway, when it was mary's turn to talk during the nativty scene, she didnt have a mike at first, then sean quickly took the mike from one of the astronauts (if u watch u'll know what i mean) and he ran to mary, tap her shoulder and handed her the mike. so cute!! and then after that scene, we ppl clap lar, (mostly a few parents helping out) and then before the curtain close, sean said "thank you!" hahahahaa. so cute. now why am i gossing over a 5 year old? damn, i feel like michael jackson or something. lolz.

oh yea, i finally wrote a decent song. meaning that it's finished, complete with chords and plucking parts, and HAS A TUNE. lately, all i've been writing are words. not exactly poems but not songs either. and yeah, i realised i dont have one happy tune. all are angry, sad, lonely or downright psycho.

thats all now.

merry chirstmas.

and?

hi. i hope u people don't think i'm out everyday having fun, judging my past few posts. i'm also kinda busy getting ready school stuff, tuition, band stuff, and family stuff. going thru a very shaky time at home now. but let's not dwell on the negatives shall we?

ah, nothing to say lar. i'm starting to get attached to "my" cat. it's not actually mine, it's our neighbours' cats. but it keeps on coming to our house to play and sleep and eat. my sis is having her christmas play next week. she's the narrator. go and support!! the children liturgy group. buy tickets ya? its next saturday and sunday i think.

school is a few weeks away. i'm not very sure bout what to do with my hair. itulah..go and dye. haha

practising guitar now. hahaha. it's silly really. a lot of ppl seem to think i can play well. if they see me play ar..so cacat one. so little skills. long way to go until i get good at it. yesterday my bro was saying to me, "hey, if emily is playing drums for the church thing, why don't you play guitar?" . all i could say was "HAH!" then chuckle. i told him to look for me only if they need a saxophonist. girra!! saxophone pulak, i'm trying to finish the rubank thing mr. reggie gave, but every time i set up, i end up playing other songs and forget all about rubank. doink!! if only i can get my hands on some good jazz piece for sax. ahh..

delayed telecast

hey y'all. here are piccies from the msian idol charity concert last saturday. featuring rydee, nikki, saiful, vick, dina and of course, jac. i have no idea what happened to the rest. and unfortunately, i don't remember all the songs they sang. i kinda lost my "idol" semangat so i wasnt too psyched bout this whole thing. anyway, even though the thing started off almost 2 hours late (!) and the sound system aint that good, they put on a rather good show which reminded us all that they have good voices and idol charm after all =) enjoy~


let's begin!
they're waving! wave back! ahaks. here they are at the beginning of the concert. bright, colourful, grand and happy.


rydee.
hi rydee!! love her voice. close up pics were taken before they get up on stage to perform or to sing back up. this was taken when she was busy shaking hands. if i werent the darn photographer, i would have gotten autographs from them all. ah well.

nikki.
wahliu, she looks like some barbie doll. very very pretty. her voice also kuat giler! she seems like a nice person. 


saiful.
saiful apek! hahahaa. ok ok, i wont insult him that much since he's from sarawak and everything. from bintawa actually. i see. saiful is saiful. his bahasa sarawak is kinda kelam kabut. but basicly the same person u see on tv. the way he sings, talks, walks, dress. lolz!! u noe what i mean.. 


vick.
haha. he's funny. talk talk talk dunno what, then he touch his eye and say "oops, i ruined my mascara. siaw. keep on talking bout laksa sarawak also. haha. sang backup most of the time. he even rapped in malay for a song saiful was singing. (!) wow. unsangkarable. 


dina.
she's so cute! like gummy bear. hahaha. she's the only one that walked to where we were sitting to shake our hands. yay!! loved it when she sang the dia fadila song. she sang "hit em up style" too. terpesona~ 


jac.
finally, the one we all voted for. (did u vote?? i did. haha.) jac!! definately lives up to her "idol" title. loved it when she sang tunggu sekejap. hebat!! i had a hard time trying to get a closeup pic of her though. i had to run to the stage and snap away until she was pulled off by the organisers and had to go. phew. 


the band performing.
i cant remember who they were. but they did play a wide repertoire of songs and did a good job at it. hats off to these guys. 


in full glory baby!
i think its rydee performing. wow. must be great performing with all that lights focused on you. scary too. but hey, soak in that glory while it lasts. 


singing back up.
they only sang back up on stage once. the rest of the time, they were somewhere near the dark side of the stage where no one else could see. unless u were sitting where we were sitting of course ;) 


the finale.
here's where the disabled go on stage. touching really. they had a bday cake too, for jac, cos it was her bday. dina was obviously terharu cos i saw her sniffing and wiping away her tears when she was playing with one disabled kid. rydee had to comfort her even. awww...

IMH concert. wow. i put the pics together to save space but they arent in order. clockwise, starting from top left.
>>the ethnic troupe. wah, all buka baju one. shocking free show. hahaha. very energetic.
>>the end of the last performance, the teacher's performance. something meletup and confetti was everywhere and the balloons were supposed to fall down together but the net didnt open properly so it only fell one by one. hahaha.
>>the balloons finally fall and the kids ambushed the stage. i wanted one too!! after this, i tried stealing one from the kids and i did but *gasp* an adult stole it instead.
>>jazz!! yay! haha. reminded me of jazz fest. very very cool. a few of us were clapping together and everything. haha.
>>the dancers for the ethnic performance. ivanna ting is somewhere there. but damn, they all turned their heads just when i clicked so u cant see her face.
>>teacher's performance. mr. reggie is down there, conducting. very interesting.
>>kids. they are so cute!! the performance isnt great. but they are just so cute!! hahaha.
>>classical favourites. they played something similiar to maksim's works. the guys looked a bit weird with those scarves around their necks. hehe. but the performance was great.
>>chinese choir. i have no idea what they were singing about but what-ever. the singing was just so sweet.
