Ok people.. I've decided to close this blog. Am getting lazy in upkeeping it. :P But don't worry, I'll continue to keep myself updated with all your posts so keep writing! Hehee...

Ciao!

Tom 'the A'-yum

The title of this blog has totally nothing with whatever I'm thinking today. In fact, I have totally no clue what I'm trying to say, except that I made tom yum goong yesterday, hence the tom yum phase is still stuck in my head.

Ever get this naggy feeling that something's not right with a friend and you should attend to the person quick? I get it all the time, unfortunately. Most of the time, the intuition is right... the exceptions are only when the person(s) is/are in denial of their own feelings. So what can I do?

According to a friend, nothing, if you respect the person's privacy.

To call or not to call?

MALAYSIAN IDOL? PERHAPS...

Just finished watching Malaysian Idol and for the first time, I caught the performance almost in full (was at Ruey's place when it started showing at 9pm but we had to pick her bro up at 9.30pm so I missed Jac's 1st song... wasn't too great either from the repeat). Dina, the other top 2 contestant was under-performing tonight, though the sound system wasn't particularly fantastic. I did think that Jac did justice to the theme song by Aubrey Suwito (it's a Malay song... something gemilang... sorry folks, I'm bad with titles and lyrics as you can see). The whole affair was nice and fanciful, but definitely nothing as compared to American Idol finales.

After watching AMI for 2 seasons, I've become this "super critic" that sometimes, I'm so ashamed of myself for being so quick to judge at the contestants. But hey, if you're brave enough to go up there to sing, you should be brave enough to hear the comments and pick it up from there, yeah? Whatever the result tomorrow night, I wish both Jac and Dina the best in their future undertakings.

Especially for Dina: I respect you a lot for your courage to be on that stage, strutting your talents despite not being the stereotypical skinny babe. If only I had that much nerve to just go for it and ignore my physical inadequacies. Hahaha... sigh...

OF BREAKFAST & MOVIES

*Yawn*

Nopes, I woke up 2 hours ++ ago.. brushed my teeth, had my breakfast, did what wming asked me to do for him, i.e. write the chords for his song. And I'm still sleepy. It's the effect of too much food and milk lah. I swear to you that everytime after food, my brain just shuts down and refuses to work. So much for starting off my day with a good breakfast.

While having breakfast, I managed to catch half of "Big Fat Liar" (starring "Malcolm in the Middle" Frankie Muniz) and half of "Cradle 2: The Grave" (starring kick-you-in-the-ass Jet Li). Why half of each? Easy.. when I finally went downstairs to have breakfast, bro was already watching BFL on the tv so I just joined him for the last 30 mins.

Was quite a crappy movie, BFL. The plot is predictable AND illogical. The movie made Muniz look like some spastic young boy in one of those pathetic moral education stories we've been forced to read for 11 years in school. But since it's catered for kids, I guess it was a good attempt at trying to educate them about telling the truth, or as Jason (Muniz's character) says it, "The truth is never overrated".

C2:TG is just a little bit better, though watching it makes me dizzy because it's too fast paced and I can't catch what they're saying half the time, with the exception of Jet Li, of course. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Li's co-stars are mostly blacks and ABCs, which explains why I can hardly understand the slangs, jargons and whatnots they use. But kudos as usual goes to Li's graceful kunfu moves! So calm and cool and stylish... waaah.... I like!!  But I decided not to finish the disc today. Too much things to absorb in one sitting, especially after a meal. *yawn*

Next up, research research...

P/S thank you readers for your concern over my last entry. I've moved on and have concluded that I shouldn't be spending my precious energy getting angry over insignificant events or persons.

MIDDLE FINGER GIRL, ME

Yups, I showed the middle finger last night and probably shocked a few of my fellow CGians. Of course, not at the jerk in person, but after he left the scene. Who? Well, some old guy from church. Mind you, I don't go around throwing strings of obscenities, especially not in church, yes.. why don't you just brand me now.

I can't understand why some so-called adults expect young people to behave themselves and be respectful of elders when they themselves can't even be tactful and careful with their words and actions? IF you want me to help you with something, then please, by all means be polite and be appreciative. And for goodness sake, it won't hurt you if you could keep your opinions to yourself.

I have had enough of people asking me to stay back, forgo my dreams and help the "organization". What do you think I've been doing so far? Do you think my loans can be settled on its own while I serve your needs for free? Just because you're rich and have the time to be involved in church doesn't mean the rest of us should sacrifice our time and effort too. We are all born to lead different lives so don't impose your values on me. Go TAKE CARE of your own family before you intrude into other peoples' life.

Oh yeah, I am angry. I needed to let off steam last night and today because if not, I am oh-so-ready to go tell it to his face. The others may be too afraid to tell you (or your progeny) off, but trust me, if you ever step on my tail, or even my friends' tails again, you're going to get the fullblast. SO BACK OFF OLD MAN!

In retrospect, I am sorry I am feeling so upset. I never liked the weight of having hatred and dislike. It wears me down and takes away much of the joy I usually have. I hope this emotion won't drag on any longer, and will disappear after I am done blogging.
