Radiation?

2011-03-15T17:51:00.001+08:00

Read so much about the hype caused when another one of Japan's nuclear reactor blew up, causing fear of radiation leakage to spread all the way here in Malaysia. Even dad texted me the same thing i read in most facebook statuses. But of course as a student of the sciences, one would point out how acid rains are formed. It's funny how learned people would go warn others of the impending cancer causing, radiation filled, burning acid rain would pour over the hapless citizens of the nearby countries around Japan. To make things simple, i'm going to borrow an excerpt from the so useful Wikipedia....

"The principal cause of acid rain is sulfur and nitrogen compounds from human sources, such as electricity generation, factories, and motor vehicles. Coal power plants are one of the most polluting. The gases can be carried hundreds of kilometers in the atmosphere before they are converted to acids and deposited. In the past, factories had short funnels to let out smoke but this caused many problems locally; thus, factories now have taller smoke funnels. However, dispersal from these taller stacks causes pollutants to be carried farther, causing widespread ecological damage. Also, livestock production plays a major role. It is responsible for almost two-thirds of all anthropogenic sources of ammonia produced through human activities, which contributes significantly to acid rain."

In short, it is a clear NO that the radiation caused by the exposure of the fuel rods at the Japanese nuclear reactor which blew up will NOT cause acid rain which will make your life miserable. So rejoice and pray instead to the Japanese citizens who are the ones suffering the real, direct radiation.

"Acid rain does not directly affect human health. The acid in the rainwater is too dilute to have direct adverse effects. However, the particulates responsible for acid rain (sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) do have an adverse effect. Increased amounts of fine particulate matter in the air do contribute to heart and lung problems including asthma and bronchitis."

Dear God, heal us all in mind, body and soul...

On a side note, i haven't been feeling too well since yesterday. Stomach was upset till today, had abdominal pains, constantly tired and sore arms. Seriously have no idea what's wrong since i'm taking so much naps to feel better but alas, to no avail. Sigh, hope things will get better soon. Signing off for now.

Death by Hiatus

2011-03-14T01:35:00.003+08:00

Spelling out what happened to this little space of mine in the vast net above, i'm compelled to write once more as life can really fill u to the brim especially with all sorts of nastiness. And though whatever i suffer from as a young adult cannot be compared to what the Japanese are facing right now due to the recent 8.9 quake, life isn't about who has the biggest problem but more about how the individuals' life goes on with it... no?

Life is full of 'tsunamis', it just doesn't destroy houses, cars and properties. It just ruins lives one way or another in different 'magnitudes'.

Right, so i'm graduating in about 3 weeks but there is much to bear from the final of final exam papers to the elusive final year project thesis. A grand 3 course, eat-in only graduation meal to satisfy nothing else but the corporate world. Why are people working so hard for? One character says it all, $. Whoever who thinks money can't buy happiness probably has too much money to spend, or they live in a place where things are dirt cheap.

Money not making u happy? U probably have too many of these that u don't notice...

One of the worst mistake a person can do in his/her life is to choose the wrong course to pursue for tertiary studies. Not only do u end up working on some of the things u'd hate, u get friends who couldn't ring with the same frequency as u do for your college life (which is supposed to be the best period of our lives?). Bummer much... And from all that downward spiral, hopefully there's still hope for the dreams and interests i had which didn't stand a chance due to FINANCIAL roadblocks. Capitalized as it carries so much meaning and dimmed so many possible futures. Reminds me of a lady who cried, pleaded and accused when the crew and Fly FM couldn't give her the chance to win a bundle of cash as she failed to do something.

Working would be certainly interesting for me at the very least considering how i don't have to go sit through classes in which everything seems like rocket science. It doesn't help having a dear professor who couldn't speak loud enough, or a lecturer holding a doctorate who is too ignorant to make sure the class doesn't start and end with him/her reading lecture slides only.

Upcoming iPhone app. Check it out in your app store soon.

Relationships are such complicated issues, even when u scale it all down to just friends. U try to be the best there is and they can't be the same, or they think u're trying to buy their hearts over something. Or they prefer being all buddy buddy with their ol' housemates and shut the entire world from themselves. The worst would probably be those that come to u like a friendly dog wagging its tail and running with u wherever u go, and when things are so great, u share your heart's burden, it runs away. When politely u approach it again, it treats u like a stranger. Man, even animals aren't THAT heartless. Am so going get a dog who deserves such attention. Maybe some hamsters, fishes and plants too.

Beagles are awesome, period.

I'm contemplating whether to get people to read this blog of mine. So that i can get feedback, and perhaps share some views with the many intellectuals out there. But the lack of attractive graphic content and happy words might seem to be deterrent. Perhaps when i really have readers do i start with the garnishing of the 'dish'? I hope the makeover for the layout of the blog is good enough to start things off...

That's about it for the first post in almost 2 years, do spam me with those comments itching to fill this space ya. Signing off~

Mamosuke and Hisano were a loving couple who have been together for a very long time. However their love was put to the test when Mamosuke and his family were pursued by loan sharks due to his father’s overdue debts. To protect Hisano and their love, Mamosuke told her that they both needed some time apart to think about their future. As he left her without any further explanation of his sudden decision, she had an emotional breakdown. Hisano’s love for him was so deep that her life almost depended on it.

Since his absence, her only consolation was the music box that Mamosuke gave her during their 8th anniversary as a couple, which played a tune soothing enough to help her go through life without him. Tragedy befell when Hisano got into an accident as a car ran into her one day when she was traveling back from class. In her critical condition, she requested her parents to automatically play the music box in her ward as she was too frail to move.

According to the doctor, Hisano couldn’t survive physically but was kept alive due to her will to live. As she rested almost motionless everyday on the hospital bed, the music box played everyday at two in the afternoon and consecutively every four hours. She wanted the timing to be so as Mamosuke used to call her during those times when they were still seeing each other.

Weeks and months passed, Hisano waited patiently but he never returned. Unfortunately, ‘Death’ took her away not long after that as her body failed to keep up with her determined soul. Mamosuke returned to an empty hospital bed in Hisano’s ward, a day after she passed away. His heart was shattered, as the love he tried to protect was taken away by fate. As he left the room, a familiar tune struck him. He checked the ceiling clock and it was 2 p.m. Then at the corner of the room, he found the remnant of their love which is not meant to be. It was his music box to her playing its last requiem.

Mamosuke found out from her parents about how Hisano waited for him everyday on her death bed while listening to the timed music box. Emotions hit him like a wave but he was too late. During her funeral, he left the cherished music box on her grave but never forgetting the sweet memories they shared.

(And the perfect tune for the musical box shall be...)

To Zanarkand... Enjoy~

Just woke up almost 2 hours ago.. And just had another weird dream which started from this...

Me and a bunch of people trying to jailbreak some "friends"..

And ended up becoming some run-and-scream (some other people were screaming, ain't me at least :P) horror scene...

If you've watched this 90's movie, you'll know how scary it is :)

And if you want me to be more specific on what really haunts the entire dream, please do click the following links to find out...

Hm.. Come to think of it, the funny part was that I was running around a shopping mall and nobody (as in the "shoppers") seemed to pay attention..

Ah well, considering I have not watched horror movies for a long while, wonder where these came from..

Familiar, no?

It's been a while since I've been wondering what it would feel like to be normal.. Being some what different than people around you can take it's toll at times when you don't know whether you're alone out in the world. There's also the option of exploring the possibilities of whether they are one of us.. Yet there's the risk.. We're so vulnerable yet we chose not to be part of the majority. Why? Are we made that way or it's a matter of choice?

Is there anyone else out there like me?

Procrastination Strikes Back! o.o

2009-02-18T00:07:00.011+08:00

I'm finally giving up in trying to capture every single moment of my life here.. It's WAY too difficult (maybe I just don't have that discipline) for me to either post here often or always trying to recall what happened whenever i make a super late post (now for instance, after abandoning my blog for almost a month?)

For my dear readers (if there's even any out there :P), i deeply apologize for being such a lazy procrastinator when it comes to updating my blog. Not that my life has been a monotonous tune, it's just that i'm looking for another way to present my blog. Instead of just posting smart/deep/emotional/philosophical/utterly-spam posts, i'm seeking a more unique approach. Main reason to be considered is that updating my blog wouldnt be as tedious as writing essays here.

Well of course, the 1st and so far, the only thing i can think of now is a photo blog.
80% photo, 20% words...

Hm.. I wonder how tat wud work out.. Anyhow here's some randoms of my life so far... Enjoy!

Yap and his trademark pose, lol! =D

Monkey madness! Guess where this is?

This is so randomly-rare that I believe it's pic-worthy, haha.. Can't recall where tho, anyone?

Xmas deco at 1 utama was great, which I saw during new-year's eve.. Too bad didn't take some upclose pics :(

Lulz, Yap once again with the T-shirt we got him for his 21st birthday.. Check out the wordings ^^ Want one?

My lil' nephew was up to his usual mischief before i snapped this candid pic as he shyly runs away :P

Recent products of the dog-breeding-fiesta happening right in front of my 2nd home at Kajang... These pups would be adorable if they weren't strays, ah well...

And now i retire to information-cramming, with hopes of returning here soon!

(I would so need a camera, handphone camera just fails sometimes.. sigh..)

28 Days Later...

2009-01-20T11:32:00.009+08:00

28 Days later.. (sounds familiar no? Click here) Almost a month since my last post, I can see that my blog a bit "fat mou" (a term for rotting in Cantonese) Alas, I've finally drawn enough strength to get me out of my extreme laziness to freshen up this place. Recalling where I stopped, my year 2008 ended with quite a blast! First off was Christmas Nite 2008 which is an annual musical event held by my uni's Christian Fellowship TECHFLOW, and it was a great success.

The cool poster by our dear Publicity Director, Phoebe!

This time I get to watch the entire production for the 2nd time as a secretary of the event, compared to last year as I was part of the cast (who needs to wait around half a year to see the musical, lol) After the whole 'hoo-hah', I skipped the post-celebrations as due to dead-tiredness (stood for the whole 3 hours of the event, and plenty of walking with chit-chatting can take out a lot from you) =P

And then Christmas came on a Thursday, me and my highschool pals went over to Jia Yee's place for a little gathering (which indirectly celebrates her birthday as it is due in 2 days) Food was home-made, thanks to Jia Yee's culinary skills as she prepared pasta, a great sauce to go with it, pizza and the classic garlic bread (which tasted better than Pizza Hut, seriously)

December was so filled with holidays that I felt like having a real semester break. During New Year's Eve, I managed to successfully planned a gathering for my highschool pals once again (sadly my uni buddies couldn't make it T.T) Booked FOURTEEN tickets for the movie Bedtime Stories at GSC and had a table for 10 at Itallianies. After all the commotion to get everyone due to jams here and there, by God's grace all made it to dinner =D

First time in Itallianies was rather pleasant, though the food wasn't too great as the portions were moderate as we shared everything we ordered due to its pricey-ness. We had a lot servings of their free appetizer breads though, so most of us didn't complain not having enough. When movie time came, I recalled being unable to pay the lump sum when collecting the tickets at the booking counter. Didn't I expect the price to be more than 150 bucks, the cashier had me unprepared with that long stub of tickets.. I quickly resorted to calling one of friends, but ended up the whole gang came to save the day, woots~

Notice Bugsy the hamster?

The only thing that's interesting in this movie is the hamster, plot's rather predictable (happy endings where the protagonists live happily ever after, typical Disney movie ending) Adam Sandler was a tad little funny (I think Rob Schneider can do better than him, just that he doesn't look fatherly). Loved the Ferrari, chick was hot, but didn't feel magical. Probably I'm getting old, sigh..

Timing was great as we had only an hour and a half's time before the fireworks spectacle...

*** To be continued, lol***

The 99 Club

2008-12-05T14:32:00.005+08:00

Taken from a very apt article depicting the rat race that all of us are involved in our daily lives. Please read the following and if you happen to be a member of this "Elite Club", then quit it today itself and give an opportunity to happiness and peace of mind to enter your life. It's truly worth trying. =)

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious
lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he
worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the
Land is unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The
King asked the servant, 'Why are you so happy?'

The man replied, 'Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.'

The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought
the advice of his most trusted advisor.

After hearing the King's woes and the servant's' story, the advisor
said, 'Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of the 99 Club.'

'The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?' the King inquired.

The advisor replied, 'Your Majesty, to truly know what the 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep.'

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. Then when he opened
the bag, he let out a great shout of joy, 'So many gold coins!'.

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced
that there were 99 coins. He wondered, 'What could've happened to that
last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!' He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.

From that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined the 99 Club..'

He continued, 'The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and striving for that extra 1 saying to themselves: 'Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.'

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute
we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires.

That's the 99 club.

Revival Calls

2008-12-03T20:47:00.009+08:00

It's been 3 days since my seemingly quick, 3-week holiday ended and I finally have the heart to update my blog. As I type this post, I hear some weird, creepy wailing of either a tortured animal or some crazed neighbor. And so we have the title above.. =P

I guess one of the main reasons I did not bother posting anything is because nothing much happened since my last update. Well actually there are a few, but just not enough to inspire me lol.. Now for a little flashback of what happened almost a month ago. Hm...

1st week, right after exams, I literally grew wings and fluttered with my buddies to Times Square for some fun. Unfortunately, the theme park experience was really nauseating, I am so bad in handling rides that spins you around like a top and swings your insides out. Then there was Quantum of Solace which proved rather... insignificant as I had even forgotten the plot. Huhu... Guess I compare the new Bond to Pierce Brosnan too much. (But hey, he's IS better!)

I guess there's just no competition here, tsk tsk...

As days passed after I parted with my uni friends, I started to get real lazy at home. But with a little effort, managed to paint part of the wall outside my house. Ironically, the difficulty of this work lies not in the area I have to paint, but mostly in trying to figure out which part of the wall is already covered with a new coat because I'm painting white over a white wall! @_@

My holiday continued with me spending some quality time with my brother over a computer game which we had been playing together (once in a while) since I was 14! Well, the game's good but main reason being it's the only multiplayer game we could enjoy playing with only 1 pc.

I recommend this if you like turn based strategy games and you don't care about graphics..

Then with more slacking and not-doing-anything-useful, it came to the third and final week of holidays. Oh, but before that, I got to catch my first experience of a live drama performance at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac). Thanks to Joshua and his friends, it was a well worth show, certainly no regrets =)

Crazy Little Thing Called Love.. Click here for more info! =D

In the beginning of the month I tried looking for a job, but sadly none wanted to hire a 3 week part-timer, sigh... However before my short lived freedom ended, Loreki organised a great mini-lan party at his luxury apartment as a final treat before he flies off to Japan for his holiday. And the good news is that we would have a second one as soon as he's back on the 14th! Daym, now I'm getting anxious! Hehe...

Ah yes, I've also come to love a few more great songs.. So instead of putting the whole song here like I did previously, here's a few videos you can view. If u like them then quickly go download or you could always get them from me =D

Final Fantasy - Gotta Be Somebody (Music by Nickelback) ~ Pity no official music video

Michael Buble' - Crazy Little Thing Called Love ~ Also pity no official music video

Hinder - Without You ~ Emo song sia... But also no official mv T.T

As for this week, lectures kinda just started today and as always I have interesting classes which have lecturers that are more interesting than their lectures. lulz.. Hey, what can be cooler than a cute bear teaching politics and having learn what other wonders a super glue can do in engineering! Hahaha...

Here's some food for thought...

Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but it has left us in a world without wonder. Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations... Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident. Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, yet we feel utterly alone....

It shatters God's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions...

Carmerlengo Carlo Ventresca
(an excerpt from Dan Brown's Angels & Demons)

And I definitely can't wait till this comes to our local cinemas!

So much for now, here's me signing off~

A Series of Not-So-Unfortunate Events

2008-10-22T20:02:00.020+08:00

Much has happened since I last posted on what I've been going through. Stress is in the air with finals approaching, and now that my tests have just ended, it's just the beginning of a nightmare. Oh well, at least life wasn't too disappointing. Last week I celebrated my sister's birthday at home and when I arrived home after a torturing 2 hour jam in KL, the day's surprise was already on the table...

Mum's homemade "Pandan Layer Fruit Cake"!

I was like.. lol?.. Then my mum explained that since my sis already had two cakes the day before (that day was her belated birthday), so she came up with something special. Nice try mum! =P

Then on Saturday night I attended the 40th Anniversary Dinner of the Lions Club of KL Central held at the Royale Bintang Hotel, KL (near Times Square).

Stage backdrop..

The event was a success and me and my fellow Leo friends who helped out during the event celebrated together with the organizing Lions. We were treated to some whisky which gave me a total blood rush with my first sip. It was then I realised that I had it "on-the-rock" and the liquor was actually quite strong, making me feel a sudden rush of liquid in my head @_@

What we had during the pre-celebration..

Well I wasn't drunk but was later told that my face was flushed red when we exited the hotel. The night was still young, so me and my Leo friends were then brought to a near by pub/bar named Oasis where we had more liquor, mostly brought by one of the Lions. We talked loads of crap, played some drinking game, sang, had supper, etc.. and I finally reached home at 4am, woots.. So much for an adult hang-out experience I suppose. Then again I enjoyed the night and really thank them for it =)

When I was on my way back to campus, I came across some cute vehicles towing an interesting load as they paraded on the highway unexpectedly.

The Snickers Road Cruisers!

After that episode of unique advertisement, I reached campus and it was all about studying for my last test before the finals. Classes were few but still went on as lecturers tried to wrap up the syllabuses. The gang seemed more tense day by day, ah the sad-ness.. But during one of my classes I stumbled upon what seemed to be like the remnants of student rampage..

Pity the projector head to have suffered this cruel fate..

Due to that, we shifted class and continued lectures as usual. After that I proceeded to one of the hang out places (Techflow room) in my campus for a little revision in preparation for my test. Unfortunately, the disturb-bug got me and I started to.. disturb, hoho.. And here are my victims..

Jo-chan, who's feeling sleepy after lunch ^^"

Panda-san who just wouldn't let me have a proper picture, tsk tsk.. =S (had to use "burst mode" to get one picture that can be used out of ten!)

Studies continued as usual, and when my test was finally over yesterday, I found myself getting back to square one as I had to start preparing for the looming finals (which is next week T.T). So what can I say? I wish there's no exams, hohoho... Oh, how I wish, wish, wish~ Now let's proceed to this much anticipated part!

Randoms~

Yes, I've gotten some pretty cool and blog-worthy pictures along the way.. =D

Look, look! The spirit of Free Hugs still lives on!

Introducing my "si fu" when it comes to being a real man/friend, Yap-dono! And here you are lucky to witness him striking the Rejuvenating Pose! XD

Here is the Japanese Expert of the gang, Rey-sama who apparently was feeling shy so he had to put the shades on while expressing his cool hand gestures ^^

So what happens when everyone is so pressured with exams and feeling all down? Here's a few tips..

We try to comfort each other in anyway we can.. Aw..

Or you can send messages of inspiration/motivation like what I got here from Panda-san.. You're so "sweet"! Hahahahaha...

Or you can unleash your hidden powers by splitting yourself to the amount needed to reduce the stress, like what Alex is doing here! (three heads are better than one rite?)

And you can teach another to do the same just for lulz.. Here we have Ivor(s) trying out the Kage-Bunshin-no-Jutsu (Shadow Clones Technique)!

Or you can just sit on a comfy chair under the air-conditioning and just snooze away~

And last but not least, you can always resort to the easiest way to relieve yourself of troubled feelings or exam anxieties..

Just run to that great friend of yours, and he or she would always know how to make you smile (or LoL in this case) like how William tries to put that smile on your face! =3

As always, that's all for now.. Do enjoy your week and wish me luck for the coming exams.. Cheers and this is KeLv signing off~

So I'm gonna ask you one time if you got a man...

[Chorus]

Boy you got me singin'.

Another recommendation for your listening pleasure, also one of my new favorites when I finally figured out what the song's title is =P (At first I thought it was "No Stress", lulz)

From the comments that I read for the video above in youtube, quite a number mentioned that it's kinda "dirty" due to the amount of sex appeal. @_@ Well, I think it's ok lar.. western style? haha.. the babe's hot! ^^

Do enjoy!~ Signin' off for now...

Stranger than Fiction?

2008-10-16T21:19:00.008+08:00

Not too long ago, I've treated myself to a movie that is rather inspiring...

Stranger than Fiction (2006)

Had it in my pc for quite some time and finally had the time to watch it. Can't believe I had actually neglected such an interesting movie, silly me. Well in a nutshell, the movie's about a man named Harold Crick who realizes his life is being literary written as he woke up one fine day. As an auditor, being a compulsive counter and an obsessive time-saver had never been more interesting when he begins to hear someone narrating his life to him. The show goes on until the writer decides to end the novel (featuring a Harold Crick) by killing him. Rather difficult to put it in words how that's going to happen, so I recommend you watching the movie. =)

What caught my attention is how the writer finds inspiration in the movie. She's portrayed as a person who needs to feel and see what she's about to write about. For example, when she needed to kill Harold Crick in her novel, she went to different situations, different heights in such that she could feel/see how it would be like to jump off a tall building. She puts herself in the shoes of the character she is killing off and imagines it before judging if the cruel fate she's deciding for the character made any sense or had any impact. What could be better than a beautiful death?

It seems that writing a good story/novel is not all about sitting in front of a type writer or a piece of paper and just write what ever that comes to your mind that's related to the story. Feeling what the story describes, experiencing it first hand.. It all made sense. For instance, how could one describe the rain in detail if he had never tried feeling the rain falling on him, it's pressure, drenching himself in it, feel it trickle down his body, listening to the harmony of water falling from the sky.. I mean, wow, to what extent did great writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, Jeffrey Archer, Dan Brown, etc.. ever go to tell their story with such depth I wonder. And the amount of credit that certain writers get seemed rather little despite the effort they put in their work.

I believe people these days are more absorbed into money making that they have been blinded to such amazement. Why do parents want their kids to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, dentists, businessmen, etc? Because they believe these are the kind of future that guarantees the cash coming in to support one's family/life. As the coming generations become more and more tied down to this sad fact, will the beauty of literature, art of poetry, masters of story-telling dwindle and eventually reach death due to ignorance as it doesn't make that much money? I'm certainly pained by this fact, more when I do not have the oppurtunity to pursue this field which seemed more meaningful to me.

Ah well, as an acquaintance of mine has once told me, you can't change anything by just saying it (or even writing about it for this matter). Actions speaks louder than words indeed. The journey I need to embark to be part of this love in the art of written works seems like fantasy (building castles in the air?) and rather unlikely when I'm done with my current studies for engineering. However, I do hope this would remind me what I've always wanted to do, and also plan to do (or at least always dreaming/thought of doing).. Wish me luck! =)

Now, back to more reading and watching (while being mesmerized/impressed in the process) like all of us do~

The Silver Hourglass (Prelude)

2008-10-15T19:01:00.013+08:00

A long time ago in a place you'll never know...

There was a place called La Gaea, a land filled with lush greenery, cloudy blue skies, and peaceful air filled with the enticing chirps of wild birds (picture your version of a tropical paradise =D). The legend that lived among the inhabitants of this heavenly place are about six mythical creatures. Ordinarily, they are a gang of animals which consists of a monkey, a cat, an owl, a dog, a polar bear and an ant. Let us begin with a little introduction of these uncanny heroes..

This is Maybelle, the insomniac dog which is the Jill-of-all-trades in the gang. As the only female animal in the entourage, she's like an unpolished gem seeking for perfection in her life. Her passion for her duty as border guard of the land made her very responsible. Thus her motto was none other than.. "Duty calls!"

Next is Saru-man, the monkey that has always been the charming one. Attractive, gentle, care-free and a genius in disguise, he's the star of the gang despite being passively calm and modest at most times. Lavish as he may seem, he ironically tries to keep a low profile.

Wilneko, is the cheerful cat and a friend of all. With a sweet smile stuck to his face, he brings about joy where ever he goes and hardly has any reason not to talk or even frown. He keeps the gang lively with his daily mischief. One should not underestimate this cat as he's both a blessing and a menace if provoked.

Oshea , an owl whose intellect surpassed all beings and is so wise that he could appear human. A cool bird with a life filled with mystery, he excels in being sarcastic and occasionally becomes the Mr-know-it-all of the gang.

Shiraz the polar bear, being the largest animal among them is protective, inquisitive yet careless in making decisions. Even though he's the youngest male in the gang, he indirectly becomes the leader with much support from his fellow friends. Tough as steel as he may seem on the outside, his heart is as frail as glass. His potential would not have been unleashed if it wasn't for maintaining peace in the land.

What about this guy? Wait for it!!

College Kid

2008-10-07T23:47:00.007+08:00

Macho? So what?

It's rather sad to face the fact that as we grow up, we need to be more independent. Seems that it applies even more to guys, being independent, able to live through hardships alone. I wonder why we are made that way.. or the better question would be, why do we (as guys) have to live that way? Is it a norm set by our ancestors? The significance of this rule baffles me..

Is it a MUST for guys to settle any problems by themselves?

This makes the dream of being a child again so tempting. Going back to high school again seems to be so fun right now compared to the time when I actually should be attending. When college seems like a luxury then, it's part hell now! So very the ironic, haha..

Ah, well as I'm used to this stick-to-friend thing, the days of college life ain't so fine and dandy anymore. And what shall I resort to.. (any advice?) Hm.. Check this out for those experiencing the same thing =)

How long can you hang on to a friend?

Anyways, today me and my beloved buddies went for a movie after a long hiatus of going-out-for-fun. Watched Flight of the Living Dead, a horror movie which managed to end up with us laughing as we left the cinema. It's funny how horror movies tend to fail in being scary these days. Or is it just us being old enough to be able to see through all that acting? Explains why our parents always think horror movies are crappy XD

The movie is not worth a review since I noticed a lot of "fake" stuff throughout the movie. At the very least it's not boring or a drag. All in all, a mild roller-coaster ride that wouldn't be fun without your friends around to laugh along with you =)

Hm.. I've been planning to do some "gotong-royong" to tidy up the garden in front of my second home. Sadly, I can't seem to get myself up to do it in the morning =(

Now I would like to pray it actually happens tomorrow! =P

The house has been quite lately, probably due to the exam stress since finals is in less than a month's time. Life is so much better if exams never existed. With no competition, studying wouldn't be a hassle I suppose.

"You wish!"
I'll have to remind myself about the rough reality that I'm living in.

So much for another post, nothing much inspiring me these days. Even nothing picture worthy! Pity.. KeLv signs off for now~

A little laugh for the day..

2008-10-01T14:46:00.004+08:00

A cabbie picks up a Nun.

She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver
won't stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

'I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you,' says
the cabbie.

'My son, you cannot offend me,' says the Nun. 'When you're as old as I
am and have been a Nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and
hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could
say or ask that I would find offensive.'

'Well,' said the cabbie, 'I've always had a fantasy to have a Nun kiss
me.'

'Well, lets see what we can do about that,' the Nun replies. 'First,
you have to be single and, second, you must be Catholic.'

The cabbie is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'

'Okay,' says the Nun. 'Pull into the next alley.'

The Nun fulfills his fantasy with a passionate kiss but, when they get
back on the road, the cabbie starts crying.

'My dear child,' says the Nun, 'why are you crying?'

'Forgive me, Sister, for I have sinned,' says the cabbie. 'I lied, and

I must confess that I'm married and I'm a Methodist.'

That's okay,' says the Nun. 'My name is Mark and I'm going to a
costume party.'

FINALLY the post on the 1st Free Hugs Campaign in both UNITEN and my life is here! And to make things more simple and clean (hence the blog name), here's the video that pretty much sums up all that we have done throughout the 3 day campaign held all over the campus. Enjoy the following video! (and please do not hesitate to leave a comment =D)

The First Free Hugs Campaign in UNITEN!

Credit goes to my dear friend/housemate/group member, Eng Hong a.k.a Mr Panda (who happened to feature in the sneak preview posted long ago) for the amazing video and also this LINK for the collection of all the photos that we have taken during the entire campaign.

Well, since pictures speak a thousand words, I believe there's no need for elaboration after you have seen the video and also checked out the gallery of photos in the link above. All I can say is that it's been a great experience as I believed lives have been touched (I'm hoping for the best!) and I get to be part of the pioneers of this event in my campus.

Something that started out as a joke, turned out successfully despite all the ups and down we went through together as a group.. what is there not to be so proud of? Haha.. Not trying to boast here, but just want to encourage anyone to carry out this free hugs campaign in other places as it is really meaningful and a worthwhile experience. With plenty of free will, determination, enthusiasm and love, I choose to believe in the impossible =)

I would like to thank all my friends and group members who has been involved in this campaign together with me for all the cooperation and job well done! Love you guys and may we have more crazy-idea-turned-reality events in future! XD

Now I'm just praying that the coming presentation that me and my group is going to have this Friday is going to go smoothly and hopefully, we could convince our lecturer about our efforts as well. Would like to see this happen some where else, so that I can be the "customer" =P
Oh, it would also be interesting to see my juniors doing this in UNITEN again, huhu...

I guess that's all to it about this event that I've delayed so long to post. Hope you enjoy the video and the photos, God bless all of you out there and cheers to spreading the love!

And It's Another Crush

2008-09-22T00:46:00.005+08:00

Due to the negative feedbacks I've gotten for the photos in my previous post, here's a music videos that I personally enjoy and would like to share =D

Crush- David Archuleta

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?

See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

The song may sound kinda cheesy but I find it nice, in a way. The music video may not be that great (since I noticed David's appearance being too.. distracting), just appreciate the song!
And KeLv signs off while you do so~

P/S~> sien, changed the video so many times because youtube keeps removing the videos that i selected =(

Size Does Matter

2008-09-18T20:21:00.016+08:00

Aren't they 'pwetty'? (Ew!!)

It rather baffles me why people, especially women, like to keep their fingernails long. Does it mean anything besides parading around with overgrown dead tissues on their hands? Are they just too lazy to trim it ("they" refer to those who started out this 'trend')? Or is it part of the style and glamor of having "beautiful" nails?

I myself find having long fingernails being a real hassle to life. Today itself was chaotic enough with them as..
- I hurt myself while trying to put my shoes on,

- had a hard time trying to sms since my handphone keypads are rather small,
- needed extra time getting my hands clean before and after meals,
- had my nails pressing on some other keys as I type out this post =.=

And here is..

ORBITUARY

The culprit(s)! (No, not the innocent monkey figurine =P)
?? August 2008 ~ 18 September 2008

The only reason I'm still stuck with them is that I do not own a nail clipper at my second home in Kajang. And when I'm home, there's always something else to distract me, so.. this post shall indirectly be the last record of my long nails, hoho.. Well, seriously.. men with long fingernails just ain't quite right. Look below!!

Hideous! (I used to see this on my high school men teachers -.-)

The popular long thumbnail, tsk tsk..

I'm not certain but long fingernails seem rather feminine to me. If you ask me for a positive description about them, I would say they portray elegance (and I'm being VERY positive here). So why? Please tell me the purpose. Convince me that this is OKAY. Or at least help me understand what they're trying to accomplish so I don't continue to stare at these people. This is a society! Note that I'm now referring to MEN keeping LONG FINGERNAILS. No offense to the males who like doing so tho.. just want a good reason =)

I wouldn't mind having long nails if they are these babies, hehe..

So much for a bad-fingernail-day.. Oh, I had my 2nd trip to FRIM (Forest Research Institute Malaysia, for those who had been living under a rock.. http://www.frim.gov.my/) yesterday. It was quite fun with my housemates and a bunch of Techflow buddies, but not so much excitement as it's my 2nd time there.

We took off from our home at 5.55p.m and reaching at the rendezvous point at 6.10p.m, which was late as we were supposed to gather at 6p.m. However when we reached, we happened to be some of the earliest there as the other participants were following the "Malaysian time". Soon, everyone else arrived and followed by the bus by 6.30p.m.

I'm really surprised the bus was punctual, woots~

We took off in 15 minutes and I was in Shwe's car (she's the organizer) as she needed directions to the place since FRIM is located near my home at Kepong. The plan was to meet at a nearby shopping complex to have dinner, according to the bus driver. However when we (me, Shwe and a few others in the car) reached, the bus ended up at FRIM and the other participants had their dinner there. So as we reached there a little later, I was forced to finish my dinner in 5 minutes, sucks.. After that, we went in and had a little entourage visiting the toilet before going for an ice-breaking session called "Squirrel & Tree". While I was a "tree", Eng Hong a.k.a Mr. Panda-san was turned into a tall "squirrel". The session was quite funny, as sometimes the squirrels were ironically taller than the trees, lol..

After a short prayer, we were taken to the "entrance" of the forest and was linked to each other via a "rafia" string. Some had to put blindfolds on while others (like me) had to be "handcuffed". A total of 44 people train-ed into the forest and the nightwalk lasted an hour or so before we were released from our bonds. We took another two hours moving up and down the bumpy forest path while checking out neat stuff like glowing trees, fireflies and worms with glowing butts XD

The trip ended at around 1a.m. and we were stinking with sweat. I was rather dissapointed as we couldn't check out the canopy walk at night. The last time I came was during the day, so I had hopes of enjoying KL's night view from the top of the forest reserve. Too bad I suppose, but it was a great outing especially when the people you love are around you. Currently I do not have any pictures of the trip so do bear with me once again, huhu.. Will also go into more detail about all the stuff happening while we were traversing the forest =D

And after a long hiatus, these are back...

I just noticed my posting on the 'kempen pelukan percuma' isn't here yet. Apparently I'm busy and at the same time lazy to type it all out now. So, wait wait wait, hoho.. I'll stop here since having a quiz tomorrow and plenty of tests to prepare for soon. Thus said, (Team Rocket blasts off again!) KeLv signs off again~

And it's still HOT!!

2008-09-11T21:51:00.010+08:00

Ah, it's Thursday! The weather may be toasty but it is the day when I have the least amount of classes, and today particularly became a better day when my morning class was canceled and the day's class started at 1p.m. Huhu.. Anyways, had a nice home-movie session just now, thanks to Jo as she passed me the highly anticipated movie to me conveniently via her thumbdrive. And behold what kept me waiting for almost a year..

Bleach the Movie: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Another Hyōrinmaru (劇場版BLEACH The DiamondDust Rebellion もう一つの氷輪丸 Gekijōban Burīchi Za Daiyamondo Dasuto Reberion Mō Hitotsu no Hyōrinmaru)

Yes, it's finally subbed! And it was definitely worth the wait since I rate the movie to be as good as Memories of Nobody, maybe even better. But I guess even though this movie lacks new characters, it is still equally good compared to the first movie due to it's interesting new plot in the Bleach storyline. Here's more pics of what you can expect.. (SPOILERS ALERT!)

The Gotei 13 (護廷十三隊 goteijūsantai) and Ichigo unites to stop chaos once again! (yes, cheesy indeed.. =P)

Oh, oh! New arrancars? Vaizards? Hm..

Snippets of the movie, which makes a good wallpaper! =D

And so, after the "drought of good movies" that I had faced for months (which cost me a lot since I had been watching lots of rubbish in the cinemas lately), this movies just made my day, lulz..

Nicely drawn characters, lush color, careful plots and action-packed-not-too-predictable climax! Really, what else can you ask for.. But of course I may be judging from a Bleach fan's point of view, still it doesn't mean I rate all of Bleach's production to be good. For instance, Memories in the Rain, despite being only an OVA, was crappy and really sucked big time in my honest opinion as it was so draggy and involved too much flashbacks. The Sealed Sword Frenzy was okay I guess, so.. yea overall I'm not being biased just because it's a Bleach movie =)

As a bonus, here's what I came across as I googled for the pictures above..

A little creativity and imagination gives you a good depiction of what happens if Ichigo turns evil and Bleach world faces total destruction ^^

Last but not least, here's another great news as the trailer for the next Bleach movie is out! Though it's not much but at least we can expect something coming our way!

Bleach the Movie: Fade to Black (coming soon!)

Woots, I believe that's enough Bleach for me at the moment. Will try to update on any info on it that I may stumble upon as I surf around.

Apparently, the only thing that is spoiling my mood now is the crazy weather. It's really hot even at night! Come on, the sun is not even UP! Sigh, either that or the rain pours as if the whole town's going to be flooded! @@

Oh well, what can an insignificant human like me do? Ponder, I shall.. Till then, KeLv signs off again~

So sorry for the late update, the lazy bug had me "rotting" for the past few days that I've gotten too lazy to think and write. But anyways here I am again without the post for the "Free Hugs Campaign" that I did in campus last week. Gomenasai~ Oh well, the longer the wait, the better the product =) So please bear with me at the moment..

And yes I'm in love! With...

Nami Tamaki! (She's SO my type, woots~)

She's hot, hot, hot!!

Alright that was crap. I've honestly been "emo" for the past few days that I don't seem to think straight. Especially today, I had this weird feeling of just shouting out loud, as if something inside me is raging wild! RAWR!! (okay, I'm being literal here so it's not the hormones or whatever you think it is)

Worst of all it isn't the first time this is happening.. Been living with it, yet there's just no getting used to. Haiz, but to cope I've been doing stuff like taking a shower at anytime at all (try 2 or 3 in the morning =P), reading random stuff online (not porn material la!), taking pictures and ponder upon it.. Check these out..

Taken by me sometime ago.. Yea, it may only look like coins.. but to me, I think about the different sides of life that I go through right now. The decisions I make and so forth...

The wrath of nature (or wrath of God? =P) Weather's been really crazy lately, doesn't it make you worry what our world is becoming? Will crazy phenomenons like the ones in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" ever come true? By the way, this is a great shot by one of my friend using a Sony Ericsson K800i ^^

It's been so long since I last seen a rainbow that it really cheers me up to see this one during my dinner yesterday.. Ah, where does a rainbow end~

This is one of my favorite pictures, which really reminds one's faith and the power of believing in Him throughout our daily lives...

This is me, once upon a time, during work for a project at Maybank.. I'm surrounded by credit card machines! XP *editted by my colleague who happened to be toying with my phone*

Hm.. All these pictures may not be relative to each other, but looking through them inspires me in a way that takes me off things that are some how troubling me. Life's more than being stressed out, burdened by work/studies, worrying if you did enough as who you are.. I guess it's just how I encourage myself.

If you want to know how i felt, then imagine being very close to the person that you really admire/like/love (this word is very strong, so it's just an implication), but you can't be with him or her. He or she will never be yours. The agony! Argh.. Okay, I'm being general (referring to the "he" and "she") here, so don't go misunderstanding k..

Yea, so maybe I'm in love, maybe I'm not. The point is when I record this down and one day I look back, I can laugh at myself, haha... In fact, it already happened before when i re-read the previous blogs I had before deleting them and found me being very silly/foolish. Lessons are taken from them, so why not post these rubbish that are clotting my mind as well?

So far my days in the week hasn't been too rough if it wasn't for the havoc of emotions. I noticed that this month is FILLED with birthdays, so I'm going to have to prepare myself for all of them since once of the best joys in life is to see another person happy =D

Money~ Money~ Money~ It's not so funny~ In a student's world~

That's all I can pour out from my mind right now. It's so late and I've got to drive later for class at 10 a.m. Therefore, KeLv shall sign off now~

Happy Birthday JoJo!

Here's a special post to commemorate my dear friend's birthday. A very happy birthday to Miss Yim Jo Ann! Welcome to the world of the 20-year-olds, hehe.. God bless you always!

Here's the joyful birthday girl with her share of cake from us and the thoughtful Pizza Hut in Alamanda! =) (check out the extra topping by Willz!)

And another shot to wrap up the celebration!

May all your wishes come true and prosperity be with you always. Take care and enjoy my friend! KeLv signing off again~

P/S: Sorry if we accidentally tortured you when we wanted you to finish those cakes by yourself =P

When a Movie Deserves a Big "Wtf.."

2008-09-02T00:29:00.010+08:00

Today is one of the days when I woke up ultra-early in the morning, thanks to my dear gastric problem which gave me the ache enough to drive me crazy. Ah well, now that it has settled down I wish it would stay that way, huhu..

Anyways, me and my mates caught a movie today as we went out shopping since it's a lovely holiday due to the National Day (which somehow made no impact at all) falling on the weekend. We were anticipating the movie since it sounded so cool and I managed to get really good seats from the convenient reservation service offered by TGV =)

When I was checking out the movie online, I came across it's uber-cool site, http://www.babylonadmovie.com/ Seriously, do check it out! Before I continue, here's what we watched..

Man, even the poster is so cool!

Ain't it all fine and dandy? Well that's part of the bad things about this movie. It gives you so much expectation that when it turned out bad, it really feels that your rm10 spent on this money just burned away!

Well, yea here we have stars like..

Vin Diesel as the main!

Michelle Yeoh! (yea, this is her years ago =P)

Mélanie Thierry! (someone I'm not familiar with, but she really fits her role)

So you see, everything seems so nice but the storyline just screws up everything. In the movie, what we understand is there's a lot of action and..

In the near future, Toorop (Vin Diesel) is a mercenary who takes the job of escorting a woman named Aurora from Central Asia to New York. While he thinks this is just an ordinary mission, he gradually finds out that his guest is carrying twins that have the potential to become the next Messiahs — and everybody wants to get their hands on them. - Wikipedia

But as we reach the conclusion of the show, NOTHING makes any sense because the movie doesn't give you any answers. Just more and more questions popping up in your head after you watch the movie. In a nutshell, the movie's just a bunch of stunts, action and thrill all mixed up like "rojak" without any proper meaning. Like empty talk or junk food!

Haiz, I should have listened to my brother's for once that the movie sucks. I guess it's a lesson learned then. My advice: avoid watching this movie unless you're desperately bored and it's free!

So much for a review, I can't say no more since I'm just too dissapointed T.T

A Week of Ups & Downs..

2008-09-01T00:28:00.015+08:00

Finally I'm able to update my blog. Some kind of gastric I had that slight symptoms (pains below my chest and inability to digest anything but bread, milo and non-oily, non-spicy, non-sour, non-.... food) are still torturing me right now. It's been 5 days!! Urgh.. what could I blame.. T.T

So to catch up on where I left out, last week me and my friends which are also my group members for my Moral subject had carried out a FREE HUGS CAMPAIGN. Yup, sounds familiar (despite the spoilers) as you can spot this campaign being held elsewhere around Earth. It actually started in Australia and pioneered by... Read more over here --> http://www.free-hugs.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Hugs_Campaign .

Planning this.. no, actually suggesting this project itself is miraculous as it was actually a joke by our dear Eng Hong who later brilliantly found out that this free-hugs-campaign is possible! After going through the bunches of videos in youtube (in which inspired us so much that we began to bug our leader Willz about it), the plans began to be carried out. After a gruelling 3 weeks of preparation, we finally had our first FREE HUGS CAMPAIGN in UNITEN which lasted from 26/8/08~28/8/08. As a 3 day event, it was certainly meaningful despite us looking like total weirdos in the beginning. Many lifes were hopefully touched =P

Unfortunately, since I'm currently at home without any access to my hardisk (due to my faulty pc which, no matter what I do, refuses to read the hardisk's contents) and again do not have my resources a.k.a pictures and photos.. I'll continue with the little discoveries I made along the way since I was away (from here, duh..).

It was on the Wednesday evening when we completed our 2nd day of the free hugs event (oh, the memories~) and wrapped up class around 6. We (Me, Eng Hong and Adrian, who happen to be housemates and car-pooling mates) decided to look for the pc store that Eng Hong has been telling me about to get his speakers. Off we went to Kajang town, and it was raining! Rain, rain, rain.. and soon we have a literary flooding town. To make matters worse, the traffic began to become heavy and people/drivers around became ridiculously brainless as they create more havoc trying to overtake each other in a jam. Oh, joy..

Worst of all, when we were so close to our destination, horror struck us as water reaching high enough to cover a Proton Wira's entire tyre made us turn back. Daym, so much for being patient for almost an hour. As we turned back, I noticed how horribly bad Kajang town's draining system were. Check this out...

Holy cow! Water flowing out of the sewer?? More like being literrary pumped out!

A clearer picture of what I'm stupidly surprised about..

Luckily, the floods were only serious at certain parts of the town our housing area was spared. There's a huge drain in front of our house, and I was saying, "What if the drain is flooded as well?". Adrian replied as if it was a dumb question, "Then the whole Kajang town would be underwater!". Woots, i wonder if that would ever happen considering how crazy the weather can be these days. So, we arrived safely home but decided to get dinner first. That's when things get weirder for the day. I went to get breakfast, and conveniently found a packet of ready-to-eat RED BEAN BUN at a nearby mini-market. It's been long since I last ate one, so when I reached home.. And it was 2 hours after dinner, my mouth felt itchy and decided to snack on a piece of the 6-parted bread. That's when horror struck me again!!

Since when RED bean is WHITE??

At first I thought the bread became bad since the red bean wasn't red anymore. But when I took a better taste of it, lo! IT WAS COCONUT FLAVOUR! I was like !@#$@#!$!@ at whoever's responsible for this faulty packaging, since it's my 1st encounter of this stupid mix up and it totally spoiled my appetite. I want my red bean bun!! T.T

What awaits me tomorrow was worse as I had gastric which lasted till today and... well, in a nutshell I didn't have a good half of the week but I guess all of us have our bad times right? (trying so hard to look at the bright side of things, sigh..)

Oh, and we had Moral test on the Friday before I came home. I managed to crap properly and later found out a heck load of other people cheated, daym.. but anyhow we did have last minute studies during lunch on that day (minutes before the exam, gasp!) and this is how desperate students can be...

No pun intended for who's "modeling" for this picture =P

Had a so-so weekend as a conclusion. And not to forget...

Randoms

This is actually a candid picture depicting our "serious" group discussion our Moral project..
Notice what's so funny about this picture?? LoL

Our very own Mr. Panda showing his true nature as he unites with a bamboo-resemblance-steel-pipe! XD Aw.. kawaii!! bwahahaha...

That's all from me now. Next post is SO going to be about the free hugs campaign. I shall delay no more!! Thus said, this is KeLv signing off again~

2008-08-27T00:34:00.006+08:00

Spread the love people!! This is KeLv surfing off~

Teardrops on My Keyboard

2008-08-23T02:28:00.005+08:00

TAYLOR SWIFT: TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR (POP RADIO MIX)

I'm pretty sure everyone is very familiar with the song above since the radio (especially Mix.fm) has played it hundreds of times over and over again. If u happen to live under a rock all this while then by all means please watch the video above before you continue reading =)

So I have been wanting to know what it would be like if the song were to be sung to a girl instead of a guy which is who Taylor Swift is directing the song to. (By the way, do know that Drew can be both a guy and girl's name) Thus, below is what I get with a little modification of the original lyrics. Have fun!

Teardrops on My Keyboard

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so she won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet he's wonderful, that guy she talks about
And he's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when she's with me
She says she's so in love, she's finally got it right,
I wonder if she knows she's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

She's the reason for the teardrops on my keyboard
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
She's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can she tell that I can't breathe?
And there she goes, so perfectly,

The kind of flawless I wish I could be
He'd better hold her tight, give her all his love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know he's lucky cause

[Chorus]
She's the reason for the teardrops on my keyboard
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
She's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put her picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

[Chorus]
She's the reason for the teardrops on my keyboard
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
She's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

She's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And she's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so she won't see..

With no offense but full respect to the song Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift, it's a great song and hopefully there's more wonderful songs like this from here in future. Cheers~

P/S: I would like to present this song to Loreki for he's part of the inspiration for this post XD

1st post!

Greetings!

Yes, I have finally gotten myself to start yet another blog (abandoned 3 already =P).. And of course there would be questions to WHY I want to blog AGAIN..

Well I guess there's just a lot in my mind that I don't want to forget (yes I am a forgetful person no doubt for a 20 year old), so I presume this would be the best way to preserve whatever that inspires me.. Be it my personal experience, what I hear or just thoughts that storms up in my mind..

I also find blogging to be another way to keep myself in tune with language. From what I see in my daily studies as an engineering student, I'm getting worse in expressing myself and describing things I see. I guess the lack of writing since after form 5 SPM can really spoil all the vocab in me. T.T

And my personal goal now would be to REALLY restrain myself from putting up any "emo" posts.. Something that I have suffered doing in the past, making me look like a wuss who needs to seriously get on with life..

So.. Here I am to welcome you readers to my blog and though u can't expect much, any comments you have for me would be deeply appreciated. Thanks =)

P/S: I know it's ultra weird that the layout is pink and all.. but yeah, I'm just giving it a try to see how it goes with the theme =)
