| Bebop Today is a very very disappointing day. And I am so tired, I just feel like sleeping.
Anyway, I have to rant out these undesired feelings before I head out again. I hate being all emo. Such a Party-spoiler.
This morning, I went for casting at Carrot Films. Saw a familiar face there *waves at Xin Yi* hahaha... I have to admit, I have a love-hate chemistry with the camera. The girl kept asking me to SMILEEEEEEE (think, HSM's "We Are All in this Together") I did. I did. I guess it's not easy to smile, dance and sing to a song which I am listening to for the first time, all at once. Fuuhhhh~ Though I pray hard that I get it. If not, it's just another experience in life for me. 
Came home .. and I had the urge to check my mailbox. Opened, and found a red card addressed to me, from the Post Office. I was jumping with joy, and smiling to myself like a senile person. My parcel is here!! And so I thought..... I took a U-Turn and headed out again to Pos Malaysia's Subang Jaya Pick-Up Center. Nothing can spoil my day.. nothing. Went up to the counter, and was all ready to claim my parcel .. when they guy returned with a stupid letter addressed to me from the Malaysian Customs.  DRATS!
Apparently, my parcel from the States is being detained at the Customs. I was given the option to claim it myself ALL THE WAY IN KLIA!! or have them send over to the SJ Pick-up Center for ... MYR 49.50 !!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I sat down and deliberated for a moment. I was in some HUGE dilemma. I mean, I even had my list of mp3s ready to be transfered into my new mobile. Now, they tell me it's detained by customs?!?!?! ohwhatthefuckman!
It almost like the feeling of getting dumped before your Wedding Day (not that I know how it feels like). Why can't they send it to the main Post Office in the city instead??? Or.. send it over for free? Come on.. I paid USD45 for that (shipping) .. grrr... I called the Office twice, no one picked up my call. You see, that's another pet peeve of mine. I despise it when no one answers their phone in a situation of much urgency. Who knows, I might be calling them to warn them of a bomb being shipped in??? Okok.. joking. I was over exaggerating again. But you get my point, don't you?
Tomorrow is a Saturday. Which means, I have to wait till Monday before I can finally speak to someone from the Customs. Then, I need to fax the form back to them, to request for my parcel to be sent over to SJ. I am a busy person. I have no time to travel all the way to KLIA! Madness.
Now that I have let it out. I feel slightly better. Need to get ready and head out again. David and Jerome's performance tonight!!
On a lighter note, I have got an audition slot on Monday afternoon for Black Water. erm.. that's the company's name. It's a voiceover audition for an animated film. Should be fun. However, it came to my knowledge just an hour ago, that there are a lot of people trying out. Damn. Competition. Loving and hating it at the same time. Hope all that voiceovers from Hitz payoff.
Now I really have to go get ready. If you are going for David and Jerome's performance, do come and say HELLO!!!

| Music Makes The People Come Together
I don't care what people say or think. Or how they are going to complain about me being totally annoying .. I am still going to blog about The Ting Tings.
 "Hey...Shut up and Let Me GoThis hurts I tell you soFor the last time you will kiss my lipsNow Shut Up and Let Me Go ...."
*head bops to music*
I have been listening to The Ting Tings religiously, it is totally unbelievable.
See, I got distracted again. My intention was to bitch blog about something. However, I guess I'd have to save that for another entry. Maybe... another FIVE-IN-THE-MORNING-ENTRY?? Starting this post with The Ting Tings caused a total diversion. Happy music is like Kryptonite for my bitchiness.. bah! Loving it, nonetheless.
I have two casting sessions tomorrow. One in Damansara Kim, another one right in the middle of the city. How inconvenient. Might forgo the latter one, and attend that next week. I have a heavily packed schedule tomorrow. In the evening, I am heading to Acoustic Jaya to watch David perform. He managed to get Jerome Kugan. Yay!
So, who on earth is David - you ask?
David Knight is a singer-song writer from San Jose California. He came to my knowledge a few months back when he started a thread in the CS group, inquiring about performing venues in Malaysia. We suggested a few venues, and in a jiffy, he managed to secure performance dates throughout the month of July. Mind you, we (CSers) planned for a meet up, at the same time, watch David in action since mid-June. HAHA! Even before the dates were officially released in Malaysia's print media.
Anyway, David will be collaborating with ... none other than homegrown, Jerome Kugan. Jerome is AWESOME! Scroll up, I linked his Myspace. You HAVE to listen to his music. So I read, they will be doing a special electro-folk collaboration created exclusively for “Palm Square
presents Acoustic Jaya featuring Jerome Kugan and David Knight” tomorrow night.
I am Excited now. HAHAHA! Can't help it. I have got a thing for live music (well, music in general)
So, if you so happen to have a night off (from your usual Friday night activities):
Palm Square @ Jaya One
72A Jalan Universiti,
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia25th JULY 2008 (FRI) 8.30 - 10.00 PMFacebook Event Page *here*
For more info, here's the link to Junk Online's Blog *click*
Hope to see you there!
I have to go watch Youtube now for inspiration for tomorrow morning's casting. Yikes! Wish me luck  Go listen to The Ting Tings. And... DANCE!
Which musician/group do you enjoy watching live, the most?

| I Am Not A FollowerIt is five in the morning. And here I sit, in the dark, in my room ... I am tired, very tired.. but I am not sleeping. It is one of those moments where I procrastinate (not that I need to procrastinate any further)
I am going on a movie marathon. Just one of those moments ... I am done with exams. Rejoice. And I am pretty sure I owned the paper this afternoon *fingers crossed*
Actually, I have been having these pool of thoughts in my mind for days. Was contemplating really hard on whether I should let it linger in my blog. Blogs these days are so .... *searching for the word* ..... commercialized? generalized? Whatever way you want to put it.
Four years ago, before this 'blog phenomena' started ... my Xanga was my solitude. It was what kept me sane throughout my "teenage years". As how Erikson would put it, the stage of Identity vs Role Confusion. Ever since everyone who's anyone jumped into the bandwagon (you see, even politicians slander via blogs), censorship comes into picture. Slowly, true bloggers have to filter their thoughts - be careful about what they are about to let published into the Cyber World. How ironic. It defeats all purpose of a blog then (in my humble opnion)
What came across as comical to me, was when I realised the vast internet users who do not seem to grasp the real meaning behind blogging. These are of course, yours truly, the ones who remain anonymous while they happily prance from one blog to another, criticizing every bloggers' opinions/thoughts.
Sad to say, these people have a really high level of neuroticism and score awfully low in agreeableness. I wonder how they survive in such a dodgy world. Have they not learn how to accept others' opinions? Well, I must say, even if they intend to voice out their 'not-so-humble' opinions, do so politely. Aren't they aware of the ruffian image of themselves, which they are portraying? What a waste of their parents' hard earned money just to educate them.
I do not like the idea of being caged. Being controlled of my speech, my rights to voice my opinions. I detest pretending to be someone I am not, to show favor in something which I do not like. I have no need to disguise my individuality. I am pretty comfortable the way I am.
Imagine, telling a blogger, not to write something just because it's against the majority's liking. Or forbidding one to do so because it does not generate readers.
If everybody is trying to please everyone, what about me?
No wonder I am losing the inspiration to blog. I can't stand how as time passes, individuality is being stripped away from blogs. Gone were the days where one used to blog about their inner-thoughts/feelings. What more, with the fear of getting filed a lawsuit for accidentally posting something 'inappropriate' online. *inverted commas* because it seems inappropriate in the eyes of those who assume themselves to be of "higher power"
What is the purpose of you blogging then (in your own context)?
