Seriously.
I can finally say.
I fucking feel the pressure to study.
No joke.
Argh.

On another hand, KL was a good tangent.
Relaxing and fun.
Sometimes a change of atmosphere is all that's needed to think.
Think differently.

It was great to meet so many old and close friends.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another note, music like this is great for listening to while studying.

We make our own decisions.
We regret.
We celebrate.
We are human.

My Malaysia.

Its funny how some people tend to polarise by race.
I'm no saint.
I'll readily admit that I do tend to judge people differently based on their race.
However, reading this article by Sharyn Lisa Suffiyan,
a great granddaughter of Tunku Abdul Rahman,
made me rethink my views on other cultures.

I believe that the few who speak on behalf of many do not speak the general sentiment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very good article from a younger generation and a great granddaughter of Tunku Abdul Rahman. A very well expressed opinion of how all Malaysians should be treated.

IF THIS IS THE VOICE OF YOUR YOUNGER GENERATION IN MALAYSIA , YOU WILL BE BLESSED.

Sharyn completed her Diploma in Advertising from Taylor's College, and then left motherland to pursue her BA degree majoring in Media Studies and Anthropology at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. While waiting for her graduation in May 08, she interned briefly at M&C Saatchi Wellington, a global advertising firm. Upon returning to Malaysia, jobless and relieved of rent payments, Sharyn stumbled upon Wild Asia through The Star which sparked her interest to learn more about nature and environmental causes. Armed with a communications background, Sharyn works on the Wild Asia website and editorial, translating geek terms into laymen language, easily accessed and understood by visitors regardless of their backgrounds, be it scientific, business, the arts or just plain interested.
By The Tunku's Great Granddaughter

This is a great piece. She has all the qualities of her great grandfather. Tunku has reason to be proud of her!

Tunku Abdul Rahman's great granddaughter

Sharyn Lisa Shufiyan, 24, Conservationist

Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese.

I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you Chinese or Malay"

Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead.

There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or Ali and still be a Christian.

I've heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the outsiders.

For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'.

No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don't feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there.

I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term.

I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity.

For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same.

I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic background. Only ONE NATIONALITY MALAYSIAN. No Malays, No Chinese, No Indians - ONLY MALAYSIANS. Choose whatever religion one is comfortable with.

Remember it was Dr M & UMNO who destroyed Tunku's Malaysia.

Heard this song a few weeks ago during gc.
Found the lyrics to be really awesome.
Enjoy. =)
This is exactly why I love Andrew Lloyd Webber's works.

Amigos Para Siempre -  Sarah Brightman and Jose Carreras

Sarah
I don't have to say
A word to you
You seem to know

Feels as though
I've known you forever

Can look into my eyes and see
The way I feel
And how
The world is treating me
Maybe I have known you forever

Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring

Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring

Sarah
We share memories
I won't forget
And we'll share more,
My friend,
We haven't started yet
Something happens
When we're together

José
When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
I'm alive when we are together

Angels and Airwaves - Epic Holiday

And the brightest sign, it is full of holes
and it's full of paying lost violent criminals
with a little fate
and the worst of lies, with a love so deep
Its war with endless fire inside
Go right back to the line

Every single day, every 9 to 5
Ever body works it hard, but then we finally die
and there's no remorse
Or the slightest sound
We're forever cool with the way it breaks up and down

Let's start a riot
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game it's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
it's just one epic holiday

On the Sunday rain
like a lonely ghost
And the furthest point from here is right outside the door

Open up your eyes
Take a breath if you will
And the sun is still alive even though it's hard to tell

Let's start a riot
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game it's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
it's just one epic holiday
Let's start a riot

Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game it's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
it's just one epic holiday

Nobodys right nobodys wrong lets start a riot

Let's start a riot
Nobody's right
Nobody's wrong
Life's just a game it's just one epic holiday
However far this
Takes us along
Take us away
It's just one epic holiday

Chicken Little got it right.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt.

A few days ago, a friend was sharing with me a little chat she had with her sister.
In short, her sister revealed to her that she had been seeing someone for the past 3 years.
What my friend said to her sister got me thinking.

How On Earth Do You Stand Someone For So Long? 

Heh.

Food for thought don't you think?

What made me think was how my friend and her sister would've said I LOVE YOU countless times in the various relationships they've had.

And.

The countless times I've said it.

And.

The countless times others have said it.

Hmm.

Does it lose its special meaning over time?

Wait.

What is love anyway?

Got this from Ming's blog.

What is LOVE?

The silence of the night keeps me awake,
The sound of your voice lingers and brings ache,
What you've said to me, loving me,
Can I finally truly break free?

What love is it's hard to define,
Words of a millions are just mere outline,
Love is patience,
Love is kind.

I've wondered what's love for so long,
My answer to it maybe right and maybe wrong.
My emotions towards love is strong,
Limitless like an endless song.

Let my words be short,
But secure as a fort,
Trust in what you believe,
Love will soon come to our relief.

/This goes out to CWMT.

If things seem hard now,

Just hold on.

Every bump in the road is one metre closer to the destination.

Perseverence builds a strong bond.

Same goes for Beng.

This phase will pass.

Hold onto each other for support.

On another topic,

Inception looks great. =D

 

 Anybody up for it? =)

@ryu. Wanna catch it this sunday or saturday? 

@chu. Screw Despicable me. Lets catch this. =DDDDD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note,

How does this look?

Warwick Streamer LX.

Oh yeah.

Review goes like this.

The Warwick Streamer LX Custom is an electric bass that offers you the curvy lines of a swirly bubinga top and matching headstock. This wood treatment is the aesthetic equivalent of a flowing mixture of brunette and sandy blonde hair. This is a sharp contrast to the dark tigerstripe ebony of the fingerboard and black pickups. Flip the Streamer LX bass guitar around and you've got a nice dark walnut body with a much lighter birdseye maple neck wood. With a classic Warwick arched shape design, the bolt-on construction Streamer LX bass also features 24 jumbo frets, standard control knob layout, a Warwick broad spaced 2-piece bridge and security strap locks, Hipshot Ultralite machine heads, Seymour Duncan "Basslines" active 3-band electronics, and the upgraded Just-A-Nut III nut. Overall, the Warwick Streamer LX Custom is a vivacious electric bass sure to turn heads and make them bounce too.

Merry Christmas Jonny? =)

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  ⁸Love never fails. 

Distractions Are Good.

Im desperate to know how you are
i hope youre deep asleep
Ive been awake for days,
trying to study every inch of your body
in this picture, from a distant day.
when I could safely say
nothing in this world could tear me down in any way

but like a dream you disappeared
without a sound, without a trace



Sleep well, darling, wherever you are,
I hope that youre happy tonight
and maybe you found someone who will love you right.
Sleep well, darling
Im desperate to say now I need you more than ever
but all I could say was goodnight.



this is for a girl back home,
she tore down all my walls.
left me for all she'd known,
but I pushed it all away from me.
and no no, even if I knew,
even if I knew what to say to you.
its just too late to make you stay,
Im sick of fighting this broken fate.

that someone else gets to tell you,
that your beautiful.



Sleep well, darling,wherever you are,
I hope that youre happy tonight
and maybe you found someone who will love you right.
Sleep well, darling
Im desperate to say now I need you more than ever
but all I could say was goodnight.

(instrumental)

its the last thing I want,
but its all that Ive got,
Its the last thing I need,
but i still carry you in my heart.
in my heart.

its the last thing I want,
but its all that Ive got,
Its the last thing I need,
but i still carry you in my heart.
in my heart.

Chours;
Sleep well, darling, wherever you are,
I hope that your happy tonight
and maybe you found someone who will love you right.
Sleep well, darling
Im desperate to say now I need you more than ever
but all I could say was goodnight.



I'm getting tired of the spanish thing.

Jon.

p.s.
Goodnight you. Be safe.

Bravery or Stupidity,

So What Happens When You Know The Truth?
Is honesty still the best policy?
Do you try to convince yourself that it might not be true?
How ironic.
Do you rush on on the pretence of commitment?
Do you try to be technical about it?
I pray.

Wonderful?

This video was produced by Skyline SIB for Christmas 08.
I had the pleasure of being on the crew.

2 years on, watching this video again not as a crew member,
BUT as someone who has a REAL life,
made me think about how lucky I am.

Everything - Lifehouse

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

The Notebook FTW.

I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And you're leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary

I saw a book wit lock and key right next to your name
I, I, I, I couldn't help myself cause things aint just been the same
Can you please tell me cause this sh** is so insane
My heart is bleeding
Papercut from reading, reading

Page 1
Says that your falling in and out of love
Page 2
Says all them things I do just aint enough
Page 3
No I couldn't see, Page 3 says you don't know how to explain it to me

But I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And you're leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary
Oh Oh Oh
Your diary
Oh Oh Oh

I turn the page and see a picture of you and him
No, No, No, that was the night you told me you were out with your
Friends
And now I know that my kiss was just S, Second
My heart is bleeding
Papercut from reading, reading...
Page 4
Says your addicted to sexin him every night
Page 5
Has all the reasons you know that this isn't right
Page 6
I can't handle this
I feel just like JT on that cry me a river sh**

Cause I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And your leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary
Oh Oh Oh
Your diary
Oh Oh Oh

Let's make a list
(Check)
Broken promises
(Check)
How you always told me you loved me right after every kiss
(Check)
And you, you always talkin shit
On them other chicks
(Check)
And now it's obvious that we know who the real b**** is...

I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And you're leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary
Oh Oh Oh
Your diary
Oh Oh Oh

con el amor, la paz y la declaración que te amo.

Jon.

Yup.
I knew it.
Calm before the storm.
I'm so sorry.
I just had no where else to rant.
Thank you.

/Its 6.10 now.
Still decisionless.
But still.
I'm still calm.
Or numb.

/Ah.

/At least I'm not irritable.
But please.
Please.
Please don't tell me

/EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL now.
Not now.
Tomorrow maybe.
Or even tonight.

/After the match. ;)

FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
REAL FRIENDS: are the reason you have no food.

FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr/Mrs
REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM

FAKE FRIENDS: bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
REAL FRIENDS: Would sit next to you sayin "Damn ... we messed up ... but that was fun!"

FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
REAL FRIENDS: keep your stuff so long they forget its yours.

FAKE FRIENDS: know a few things about you.
REAL FRIENDS: Could write a book about you with direct quotes from you.

FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing.

FAKE FRIENDS: will talk trash to the person who talks trash about you.
REAL FRIENDS: Will knock them out
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heh, saw this yesterday while wasting time on facebook.

The recent calls to you have made life easier.
Keeps me sane having someone REAL to talk to.
Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The time seems perfect now.
For what of my options I don't know.
Should I?
Maybe for once I should be selfish.
But then again that's what got me into the shit I'm in.

Oh God.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The recent months have made me appreciate my dad so much.
So much more.

This song touched a nerve.

Ryu, walrus ain't that bad you know?
He's looking out for you.
