Confessions of an illogical mind

FILMtalk : Walk The Line

2006-03-17T00:06:00.000-05:00

I’ve finally walked the line.

After a long wait, a copy of ‘Walk The Line’ finally arrived in my mailbox. Here’s one thing about online DVD rental, when you feel like watching a particular movie, you have to wait at least 3 days, whereas you can actually go to the video rental store which is probably only five minutes from the comfort of your home, pick up a copy, pay at the counter and rush back. No so much of a hassle, no wait… but there’s LATE FEES! So, to sum it all, online renting works best for me and I’m sticking to it. After all, in case of films like “Walk The Line”, online or conventional; there is still a long wait. When I dumped in the film in my queue on Blockbuster Online, I was in for a ‘short’ wait in which apparently turned out to be a 2 weeks affair. I went to a couple of video stores around to look for this film but the shelves were empty. Well, I could’ve bought the DVD for $9.90 at Wal-Mart but I don’t think I’d invest on an NTSC copy when I’m already heading back to Malaysia in two months. So, I waited like a drug addict craving for cocaine.

So my copy arrived in the mailbox today, watched it right away. And as expected – the film just blew me away.

Being a person with no knowledge in country music whatsoever, I was totally clueless of who was Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash or anyone in country music of that era. I saw the film just as a drama rather than a biography. Joaquin Phoenix portrayed Johnny Cash very well. So did Reese Witherspoon who played June Carter Cash. After watching the performances, I came to understand how Reese won the Oscars. Not only that she was a good actress, she’s not bad at all as a singer! When watching this film, I didn’t see Reese Witherspoon in brown hair or anything Reese. I saw her as June Carter. While watching this film, like many of my friends feel, I couldn’t see any relation of the actress who’s playing June Carter with the actress who played blond chic Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. It’s like a total different person, also not anyone else but June Carter. Joaquin Phoenix however is kind of new to me so I could see him as “Joaquin Phoenix the Johnny Cash”. Just like how till today is see “James Franco the James Dean”. I might be pro Reese ever since the film ‘Election’ but honestly, deserves the Golden Globe and Oscars for such a stunning performance.

Johnny Cash was an American music legend. He had a hard time growing up as his father didn’t favor him that much. His older brother Jack was the more favorable one and when Jack died at an early age after an accident while cutting wood for extra money, his father even hated him even more. I recall his father saying “He took the wrong son. It should have been you at the saw”. Long story short (well, I’m not going to write his whole life story here, am I?), he became a famous country singer with his band, the Tennessee Three. Unfortunately, like many music legend, he was caught in the Rock n Roll syndrome – sex, drugs and alcohol.

June Carter was born in a musical family. Her family was already in the business for, well I’m not so sure but I’m pretty sure it was before she was even born. At 10 she was already singing on radios. Aside from singing, June Carter was also a comedian. There’s always a story as to why one is what one is. June was made believe that she wasn’t the musically talented one among her siblings. Her sister Anita was. June thought she needed to be worth something so she took up comedy. All that aside, she did made a record with Elvis and some other music legends, so she was a good singer after all!! John had always adored June Carter as a singer since he was a very young boy.

Johnny Cash and June Carter met at a tour. When they met, both were married to two different people. They became friends, very close friends indeed. They’ve always had this chemistry and some kind of attraction. John in fact, came on to June several times but was rejected every time. They were both very attracted to one another but they both had values that rooted them on the ground. Both had families and it was just not appropriate.

It took them 12 years before they finally got married. Many things had happened throughout the courtship. John proposed to June something like 40 times, maybe. Not so sure of the number. So, they got married and lived happily ever after.

Personally, I thought this is a very well presented and well expressed love story. A story so unordinary yet makes sense in every way.

I found a resemblance between this film and “Brokeback Mountain” - the subject of public perception when it comes to the subject about love.

In this film, John and June didn’t get together because it wasn’t appropriate for them to be together because both had families – spouses and children. It wasn’t right to the public eye to see them affectionate with one another. They loved each other so dearly but could only keep it behind doors, behind reality, most of the time behind their own hearts. As a result, they had to suffer to make what looks nice in the eyes of the people around them.

In Brokeback Mountain, this was expressed in a different perspective. Two guys who had their heart for each other. Both parted and went on with life. They both got married, had kids of their own but their love was so deep that it was killing them slowly. Heath Ledger’s character was the less expressive one so he suffered the most. Having to live in the 60s, they both knew no one could ever accept their love other than themselves. Well, even if they were living today, I don’t think it is acceptable still.

I guess what people think does matter in the subject love. In many cases, not just love, you have to put public acceptance in front of anything else. It is sad to know that what is acceptable tops the truth. Well, then again not every time or rather not everyone has to go through hiding behind the curtains when struck by love angels.

Well, maybe I’m talking about extreme scenarios. Ok then, talk about common situations shall we? Why does one desire the hottest chic in the room rather than the nerdish looking girl sitting at the other end? You know that if you go up to that girl, she’ll talk to you and in fact, she’ll appreciate the time you took to talk to her. Often times, you’ll be surprised of how she’s more prepared for the world than you. But you still want to try your luck chatting up the pretty girl who has five more other guys like you in line. Is it because you’d rather be caught talking to the hottie? Or maybe if romance happens to spark, you’ll be spotted hands in hands with such a beauty even though you have a face of a scarecrow? So among your friends, you’ll be ‘The Man’ because you got the girl everyone wanted? Doesn't that comes down to public perception?

ANYWAY, that aside...

This film is definitely a 'must-watch'. If you grew up listening to Johnny Cash, then you'd probably going to watch it anyway. But if you've never heard of the name, just go. Watch it. Enjoy it like you're watching a fictional drama. Enjoy it like you enjoyed "That Thing You Do".

An Overseas Degree - Cool!... At home?

2006-02-02T18:16:00.000-05:00

I was flipping through New Straits Time Online yesterday and there was this article titled “Excuse Me Doc, Do You Know What You’re Doing?” Politicians are debating over the issue of the rapid growth of private colleges offering medical degrees. In a nutshell, the infrastructure of most private colleges in Malaysia is nothing as compared to proper universities. Maybe with the exception of Multimedia University (MMU), Universiti Tenaga Nasional(UTP) and Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), and maybe some others too, just to be safe. As for the rest, it is typically just a building or two with very limited facilities for hands-on, in-class training. The issue came about when many private colleges that offers medical degrees. With the facilities as pictured, continuous practical in-class training for students is merely impossible. So how do these doctors-to-be get through med school? Theory… theory... theory... I was surprised to learn that there are actually fresh graduate doctors out there with no clinical training, whatsoever. Pretty scary isn’t it?

For me, the issue doesn’t just stop at medical degrees.

Private colleges have pretty much made every sensible teenager’s ambition possible and parents’ dreams come true. Since the booming of private colleges back in the 90s, the programs offered in these colleges have become more and more competitive. Today, there are so many programs offering overseas degrees. US, Australia, UK, you name it. It's actually good in a way, cause it gives deserving students an opportunity to graduate with a degree from an overseas university. Notice how i say "graduate with a..." and not "receive an overseas education at home" or even "study for an overseas degree" ? The question goes down to - Is it comparable? What about the standards?

Here's my take --

Here's the picture.. Your lecturer is a Malaysian. Even though your lectures are in English (American or British English depending on your program), often slangs like "-lah" pops out in the middle of the lecture from your instructor's mouth. Even worse, if you do not know how to speak english, you'll still get away with it. I mean, who is there to pinalize you for poor english right? After all, you are in college not high school. You can ask your instructor a question in a thickest of Manglish accent during a class discussion in Calculus class.. something like "Sir ah, why the graph like that one? Because when i integrate x kuasa dua i get this woh. How come ah?" and your instructor will still understand what you're trying to say and without a doubt, he's able to answer your question. Here's the thing, often when u have a degree from a foreign university, people expect you to speak better English. At least your prospective employers do. And often, foreign university graduates are given more consideration for hire. In this case, with the quality that is.. is it fair to graduates of local universities? Hmm.. maybe this is a small matter.

Ok, how about this.. As mentioned before, the facilities aren't quite as comparable as what it is in the main campus abroad. Then, issue was about medical students. But how about engineers, biotechnologist and many other majors that require some hands-on lab experience too?

Go Figure.

Hi y'all! As u can see, i haven't been writing for a while now. The last entry was sometime is November. To be exact, mid november. That was when I was pratically crushed like a semut hitam yang dipijak manusia yang berkasut tumit tinggi 3 inci. Y'know how high heels punya base tu. The heels tu.. the thin, pointy heels tu. Yeah.. y'know what is the probability of the base of the pointy heels yang diameternya persis diameter duit syiling 5 sen tu pijak on a specific point of a surface? I don't know the exact figure but i'm pretty sure its pretty small of a number. And bila semut tu dipijak.. itu yang di namakan "Malang Tidak Berbau" .. Tetapi, asid formik yang dikeluarkan dari badan semut tentunya berbau..

Happy to say.. i'm up again.
*Thanks to my buddies Firhad, Teck Maan, Moe, Shahmi dan Shafinaz yang telah sudi melayan kedukaan ku dan menaikkan semula semangatku sebagai seorang AKU...

And i guess there's a lot of catching up to do.

Ok.. classes have started. It's been 2 weeks already. Biasalah, nothing too exciting except the fact that it's my last semester and that I have more time than ever. So what does a "work-aholic" do when she has some extra time time in hand? WORK MORE lah!! HAHHA.. Collect some money in USD and bring it back to Malaysia and experience the "Anak Orang Kaya" life for a bit before going totally broke in Malaysia.

What else? Erm.. How's your New Years Resolution holding on? Mine's doin fine, i guess.. Well, at i'd like to think so. Anyway, in my list are :
1.To have a better relationship with my family especially my sister - I've always been close to my parents and brother. Only wif my sister, there seems to be a gap and i'd like to fix it. Especially knowing the fact that she'll be leaving for college this year and I'll be heading home instead.
2. To have a better relationship wif my cousins. - These are the dudes and dudets i grew up with and i trully miss them while i'm away. Hmm..Maybe after graduation i should hang out with my cousin in New Zealand for a bit.
3. To have a better relationship with my best friend - I've screwd up many times already. So, I wanna make things better for her simply because she's just a wonderful person.
4. To have a better relationship with my old friends - Especially the 3 gals from da hood (You know who u are!).Getting to spend time wif them while in Malaysia makes me realize that they are the reason why i am what i am today and that only they understand.
5. To have a better relationship with Allah - That includes no Pork.. No Sex, Drugs and Alcohol. HAHHA.. like it effects me?!!
6. To be nicer to my Ex-es - To all the have beens, you are in a lucky year.
7. To get closer to my dreams and aspirations.

Whatever it is, i personally think you can always set your goals or in this matter, resolution at any point of time. It doesnt always have to be at the turning of a year. it all goes down to your intentions. Niat yang datang dari dalam hati yang mencorak tindakan yang akan kita ambil dan menjadi pengukur sejauh mana kita akan berusaha untuk mencapai sesuatu. Dari niatlah keazaman dan kemahuan kita bermula. Segalanya bermula dari dalam sanubari kita sendiri.

It's not how good you are, but how good you want to be.

LIFE - My Winter Sonata

2005-11-17T19:54:00.000-05:00

The beginning...

November 17, 2005

The first snowflake dropped in front of my very on eyes. "Hmm... in November?", i thought. I was just a few steps away from my car. The car i've been driving for the whole 3 years that i was here. I thank my dad for the car. My very own car. My first car. The car that had brought me to places. The car that had brought my friends to places. I remember the countless numbers of road trips especially when we went from Michigan to Illinois to Wisconsin to Minnesota and back... That was the summer I learn who my friends are.

But that was summer... 2 years ago...

Summer is all about late night outings and early morning breakfast hang-outs.. Summer is about enjoying the outdoor, relax, feel free, have fun, yi-yi ya-ya.. Summer is about losing track of time. The sun sets at 10pm so when you're done with your evening workout', it's already time for Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Ooops.. You missed Will and Grace again!! Sorry.. I enjoy summers especially when a few of my girlfriends and I usually get together to play soccer every other evening and just have fun.

Summer, for me... (speaking in a Computer Engineering languange) is a bunch of "Don't Cares"...

But today... It's officially winter.

This winter will be the loneliest ever.. When your loved one is far at home.. you don't really feel like experiencing winter. Winter is like - anti-summer. If summer is about being carefree and all that.. Well, winter is not. Winter is when you get very sensitive to your surroundings. The weather will get very 'bitchy' - and so are you. Some may even get SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), which is actually just another fancy name for pure depression.

I was talking about winter with a good guy friend of mine. How he misses having a girlfriend this time around of the year. The cuddlings.. the romatic evening.. For me, its the company.. I don't really care about the cuddling and all that mushy-mushy stuff.. The idea of the cold gloomy weekend with nothing to do. You can go out to the malls but the again, your car is covered with 4-5 inches of snow and your tires are burried in the white thick carpet of fluffy snow.. The only way to go anywhere is to plow that snow off the car, off the road.. off the door, in fact! SO... I'd rather stay home with my loved one and just spend the evening watching a good movie, with a bowl of hot 'Mamak Style Sup Kambing' dipped with slices of fresh baguette in my hands.. Or maybe a cup of mint hot chocolate or a cup of homemade Teh Tarik.. Just enjoy each other's company.. spend hours chit chatting about anything.. the laughter, the weeps..

How i miss that..

Today is the first day of snow, yet i could hear the sounds of melancholy. This winter is surely gonna be different.. I have been missing the company from the first day i arrived in Kazoo after spending a truly memorable summer in Malaysia.. and I know i'm gonna miss it more and more as it gets colder and whiter..

Today is the beginning of My Winter Sonata..

My Raya Treat No. 2 - "Gitulah Raya..."

2005-11-14T02:19:00.000-05:00

Last night I finally got to watch "Gitulah Raya" and the night before "AF Rumah Terbuka".. Thanx to Syaz-aora... heheh... When you're this far from home, your only hope to these things are your friends and file-sharing applications. And only when you're this far from home that you appreciate these stuffs.. ;)

Ok, first up - AF Rumah Terbuka - To majority of my friends who would probably have no clue what i'm talking about.. AF Rumah Terbuka is a raya telemovie-musical featuring all of the 14 Akademi Fantasia stars. Don't know what is Akademi Fantasia? Google it.. :)

And to those who happen to surf this site.. and doesnt' know me, whatsoever.. i have to tell you that this is really not a site to look for AF news or any news on any particular AF star. This is just an entry that talks about AF. This blog talks about anything.. whatever i feel like.. :)

Ok.. back to the topic..

In general, i think they could have done a better job producing this telemovie. It was entertaining just some parts lack intelligence. Personally, i think.. bila mereka start 'nyanyi' lagu masing-masing, it looks very static. Contohnya macam lagu Amylea, " Pulang Di Hari Raya".. dengan gubahan yang agak rock tu.. dibazirkan dengan hanya menyanyi di dalam rumah ketika memasang langsir.. Dan membuatkan Amylea kelihatan agak kaku semasa 'menyanyikan' lagu tu. I know Amylea is better than that.. The songs sung by these kids can be presented better than just standing and moving around certain area, i think.

However, i'm not gonna condemn the whole production. I have to say, certain parts memang bagus penyampaiannya.. contohnya scene Felix jumpa Akma.. It's just hillarious.. hahha.. But from the AF days i find that Felix(duh!) and Akma both have good sense of humor.. Credits to than and to them who did well presenting. ;)

Next up - Gitulah Raya... Every raya (except the last 3 rayas that i've been away) .. i always look forward to watch the raya comedies.. So far the best is still 'Lontong' which came out in 1995 (when i was in standard 6) directed by Azwan Ali (if not Aznil Nawawi, but i'm positive it's Azwan).. ingat lagi watak Wak Tong and Lonyah lakonan Salleh Yaakob dan Ogy Ahmad Daud.How i miss those slapstick humor 'ala Senario' which has always been the essence to these telemovies... Jalil Hamid also produced some raya comedy skits that same year and it was good too. I hope Afdlin comes out with his version as he is one helluva 'Cip Kodok'..

So, this year it's 'Gitulah Raya' featuring Felix and Marsha of.. ehemm... AF3! (Oooh-- C'mon guys! Gimme a break will ya?!). I must say it's 'sedap' lah.. but don't compare too much with 'Lontong'.. Lontong was more 'selamba'... But the fact that this is my 4th raya overseas and I miss those raya pertama TV shows.. I must say this is just finger lickin' good!...

Like in previous my entries, i am not gonna summarize the film for you unless it's that bad that I feel that i could do you a favor by saving your time from watching it.. This time i'm more interested in talking about the performances of my 2 favourite AF Stars.. Ehemm.. Felix and Marsha..

You know those characters... The jock's bestfriend. The second to the 'mat-perasan', yeah.. the other 'mat perasan'. The one who tries to get the girl but fails and some random looser wins. No, not the same girl as the jock's interest but the other girl. The friend of the girl... yeah, the one who often stands on the right, slightly behind the jock. (There's actually a reason why it's always potrayed this way , mis-en-scene)... The one who is also 'ingat bagus'.. yeah, him...

Well, that was Felix in this film.

He did a good job potraying the character. It's a character that is not too strong nor too mellow. With his slow-pace-talking style, he has the typical "kaki ngorat" touch in him... However, i do find him a bit stiff. In other words..

One of the earlier scenes : Felix and the girl of his interest.. ehemm.. Marsha

As for Marsha, I must say.. for a first timer, she did very well.. ada potensi..

Above : A dramatic scene where Marsha and Apek had to part. In this film, Apek left for KL to pursue a singing career. I won't tell you what exactly sent him to KL as i really want you to watch this comedy.

FYI : This is not one of my artwork..

This a montaj for Gitulah Raya. It reminds me of the scrapbooks I use to make back in the school days. Y'know, the one where you cut out every single pictures of you and your friends and paste it on a piece of paper then cut it again and then paste in on a black paper. Yeah, those things.. And then as you grow older you wonder you u did that. You wish you hadn't done that because now you don't have any pictures of the best days of your life. HAHAAHHAH!!

I just have to include a screenshot of the montaj in here for its significant meaning.. Not because of Marsha okay.. (Iyelah tu.. hahahah!!)

LIFE - Salam Aidilfitri wishes to all...

2005-11-03T01:19:00.000-05:00

Selamat Hari Raya.. Happy Eid Mubarak.. And Maaf Zahir Batin..

First of all, i'd like to wish my family.. Selamat Hari Raya.. Tahun ni tak hantar ucapan kat Utusan, so jangan cari!.. Hhahah.. Maaf Zahir Batin.. I don't know why it is really hard for anyone to say sorry to the people they love most..

Also, my raya wish goes to :

My cousins yang berderet-deret..

My friends around the world - Shafinaz, Alis, Fiyad, Sasha, Ayu, Salmi, Nadira, Irma, Hanisah, Ainul, Pedah, Kabe, Sazlan, Ann, Saufi, Shana (well Shana u fall into my family catagory lah actually..), Moe, Ghaffir, Tajul, Tini, Izwan, Shahmi, Nik, Dean, Salina, Hanim, Liyana, Faizah, Amal... Okaylah, i think the list would never end.. hahaha.. So to those of you whose name is not mentioned here, I appologize... I will make sure your name is on next year's list.. hehhe..

My new friends ( You can call it an after math of my summer holidays in Malaysia.. hhehehe) -- Yuria, Kak Yusnita, Kak Mila, Eira, Najmi, Syaz, Iwan, Nida.. nice knowing you guys.. I never usually make this many friends in such a short period of time, to tell you the truth.. (Well, someone deserves a big THANK YOU for this.. ;p)

All the 352 friends on my Friendster list.

All muslims around the world..

FILM - Les Choristes (The Chorus)

2005-10-28T00:56:00.000-04:00

What are the similarities of films such as "Dead Poet Society", "Mr Holland's Opus", "Sister Act and "Music of the Heart"?

Audiences love films about underdogs that overcome. One of the most beloved sub-genres in film history involves a seemingly controversial or unorthodox schoolteacher sparking the inspiration of students to rise above and achieve greatness. Les Choristes or in English, The Chorus is a new edition to this film genre.

I've been waiting for the chance to watch this film and finally, I got my copy from Netflix. The fact that I was fasting, I had every reason to dedicate my evening for a film.

This is pretty impressive for a first feature film by director and composer Christophe Barratier, who adapted the screenplay from a little known film called The Cage of the Nightingales. Les Choristes is set in post-World War II France, a time of social restructuring and economic recovery from German occupation. To understand the scenario in this film is to go back to French history.... As we all know, WWII was mainly about the Nazis and the Germans occupied France once upon a time... Long story short, many children were orphaned as a result... Due to that, the French government instated correctional houses designed to discipline boys with military strictness.

L'Fond de L'Etang, is a school of such military strictness.When mild-mannered Clement Mathieu arrives to take a position as the new assistant teacher, he is immediately plunged into an educational system nightmare. His colleagues humorously introduce themselves by giving the names of the worst troublemakers. Headmaster Rachin has the cold, hard demeanor of a warden, delivering swift punishment to anyone caught inciting trouble. And the boys behave as if discipline were an alien concept, pouring their efforts into driving the new teacher away for the next one in line to arrive. As yo might have guessed.. Mathieu changes the prospect of the school.. la di da.. bla bla bla.. typical.

I don't really feel like talking about the whole story as i think it is really worth watching.. So, I suggest you watch this film...

While the story line might be of sumthing very predictable, the film itself is not. By that i mean the art of it.. Each and every plot was well presented, utilizing every concept of mis-en-scene.. I remembered a scene in the film when the boys were put to sleep and Mathieu returned to his 'room' to compose a song for the chorus... Every single element as seen on the screen has a reason to be there.. The dorm was all dark and gloomy... The boys were all soundly asleep, at the back of all that you could see Mathieu's room lit and his shadow behind the curtains.. In cinematographic language, we're talking about deep focus photography.. The camera pulls back slowly as the background music began to ease in the film as Mathieu composes his music through the night... This brings the emotions of a new hope to the screen hence to the audience. This is just a small example of the artistic touch of this film.

Les Choristes is a film of great beauty and sweet intentions, offering a strong theme of grace vs. punishment—compassion of the heart in contrast to the hard discipline of the law... How one seemingly small act can transform so many lives, treating the kids like people instead of criminals. Les Choristes plays its audience like a violin. Some may end up being caught up in the emotions, sweetness, and touching message at the film's heart. For the rest, well.. might just find this film too artsy..

LIFE - Nuthing much really...

2005-10-27T15:42:00.000-04:00

Arghh.. Hari ni hari malas + hari letih + hari takde mood... Kepala hari ni macam tak masuk gear. All my creative juice has been sucked up by the air.. Hari ni bebetul tak de idea creative untuk berkarya.. ahhaha.. echheeehhh.. 'berkarya'.. berkarya ape kebende! Hmm i think designing websites is considered 'berkarya isn't it'?

Yeah, so today tak gi keje lah sebab rasa kalau pergi kerja pun takleh nak wat pape. Actually it wasn't really a good idea not to go to work today as i need to finish up a the banner for one of the sites i'm working on. Actually benda tu dah siap, but now after completing the site.. My boss, Dr Guizani wants sumthing more.. err. how do u say it?.. err.. DYNAMIC.. yeah that's the word. Dynamic.. so now what i have to do is to take pics, hmm.. camera pulak takde.. take pictures and then do some 'professional look' flash animation.. Not that big of a deal, tapi camera dah jual kat ebay.. nak amik gambar guna apa?? Thinking of getting on of those fancy cameras.. yang boleh bikin gambar serupa photographer bertauliah (my other dream job!)..

Hmmm.. i think i'll go to the office during the weekends. Selalu weekend, aku bukannya ada buat pape pun other than berangan sambil belajar.. (notice how i said "berangan sambil belajar"... that's more accurate as compared to saying "belajar sambing berangan"..hahah!)

My desk at work --> where the magic happens..
This is the desk i didn't go to today.. Bukan apa, ini soal hati dan perasaan!

** Kejap.. nak tukar lagu Destiny version Marsha ... suddenly terasa nak dgr lagu tu.. (HAHAHA.. korang mesti like.. "Whatever Syad!".. see.. i can see u're rolling ur eyes.. God damn it! Live with it!!)

Anyway... I don't have much to say now, as you all know i'm pretty lazy today. Malam ni nak berbuka apa, tak sure lagi... Raya is around the corner, kad raya pun tak hantar lagi.. I have a fan (hahah.. kes tumpang glamer) yg waiting for my card cos i sortta promised her.. Promise is a promise.. lagipun, dia masih kecik lagi so tak baik musnahkan harapan si cilik. Probably later i'll design sumthing up and hantar print kat kinky's .. Then esok boleh post kot.

Alrite, i'm out... Majulah kita untuk kebaikan diri kita!

GRAPHIX - Wallpaper feat. Padme Amidala

2005-10-07T20:28:00.000-04:00

I just have to include the screenshot.. hahaha..
So u have an idea of how this looks on a desktop..

GRAPHIX - It's a Malaysian thing-lah!

2005-09-14T05:25:00.000-04:00

This is just a promo for the Malaysian Students Organization (WMU). It's really simple but meaningful.

What do u think? OK-lah...

Anybody has a good image of a Wau Bulan, a Gasing or a Congkak? Pass it to me.. I shall add another row of items featuring our traditional games.... ;)

GRAPHIX - AF Star Wars (Specially made for my brother)

2005-08-17T01:49:00.000-04:00

Kalau ikut.. malas nak letak Mawi.. but it was done specially for my brother yang suka Mawi.. so terpaksa lah letak.. That's why if u really see it.. Mawi's part of this design does not quite blend in with the background as compared to Marsha and Felix.

Aaah.. nevermind.. when i'm free (someday) , i'll fix it.. Kalau tak de masa, hah.. biaq pi lah!

LIFE - Trucker Hats and Von Dutch

2005-08-14T05:45:00.000-04:00

I was out today with Shafinaz... KLCC lah mana lagi.. KL seems small.. since i've been back.. kalau tak Jaya Jusco belakang rumah, KLCC.. itu sajalah. Bukannya takda tempat lain.. i'd day KLCC is accessible.. VERY accessible but the crowd!! Mak Datok!!

Anyway, that's not my point of the story.. my point is about trucker hats and Von Dutch. Well, lets start with talking about Von Dutch.. To be honest, before coming home i was thinking of buying either a Von Dutch bowling bag or a Von Dutch Trucker Hat.. Thinking in Malaysia sure tak de ciplak and bila balik nanti it's sumthing lah.. (For those who hardly know me, i'm the kind who doesn't go for brand names.. it's just that i'm not pampered with all that stuff and i don't find the need too.. plus i also see if things are worth it because most of the branded stuff are expensive for the name. FULLSTOP!).. Anyway, so i did thought about buying on of the friggin expensive VonDutch stuff sold at Gadzooks in Crossroads Mall (the only mall in Kalamazoo!).. Yelah, bila balik pakai kasut Nike.. semua kat Malaysia pakai kasut Nike.. nak juga merasa jadi "that-one-person-who-has-that-thing", if u know what i mean. So have to find something American and rare. The list goes down to AE, Abercrombie and Von Dutch.. Abercrombie is soo FOS in Malaysia.. so if i spend my money on an AF top which will cos me $20 = RM74 and then people think i got it from FOS for RM29.99 .. BAIK TAK PAYAH! Despite what people think, i still won't want to spend that much for a tee i can get for RM29.99 in malaysia which is equivalent to $8.19 only.. pointless right? So better buy Von Dutch.. after all Von Dutch is worn by celebrities and it's like the new thing.. sure in Malaysia tak sampai lagi..

Well.. So i thot...

Apperently not!!

The moment i got to KLIA, i saw a bunch of kids wearing Von Dutch trucker hats.. In my heart.. "Waaah!! Gila kaya bebudak ni!!"... then as days goes by.. i saw more and more of those hats.. Von Dutch sometimes sama design, sama color.. I cam to learn, rupanya Von Dutch ni dah kena ciplak!.. hahah.. luckily tak beli kat US.. kalau tak rugi je.. Balik sini orang ingat beli ciplak when i could have (maybe ) spent sumthing like USD$80 for a hat. LUCKILY!! Luckily i didn't find the time to go to Crossroads to get it.. phewww!!

Tu kisah von dutch.. Kisah Trucker Hat pula.. I actually already have one trucker hat which i just love.. it has a lot of meaning to me.. very sentimental.. a lot of memories with it.. One thing about the trends for trucker hats is the statements on it.. Like mine is "Rebel".. The statement and the color of the hat is truly an oxymoron... Pink.. then Rebel.. Whatever, i just love it!!...

I see trucker hats is in trend here too... cuma sayang the hats they have here do not have statements like they do in the US. So, most of the trucker hats here looks more like an ordinary branded hats.. hmmm.. macam tak kick!..

Anyway.. tu je nak cakap.. just have this thought and kindda lazy to discus verbally.. so i write..

C'est La Vie!

AF - The whole 'Mawi&Marsha' thing - Part Deux

2005-08-12T12:28:00.000-04:00

Ya.. tak abis lagi citer hal ni.. HAHAHAH... bukan apa, dalam kepala otak ni tak tenteram bila fikir pasal ni... I have so much to say about this.. and NO, ini bukan penulisan seorang fanatik.. Yes, maybe Mawi is among the last in my AF list.. i admit.. Tapi ini juga bukan penulisan seorang anti-Mawi... Ingin saya tegaskan disini bahawa saya bukanlah anti-Mawi.. I just don't find interest in him, that's all! (Yeah! Saya tetap dengan Felix saya!!HAHHAHAH.. oklah, jangan lupa Marsha juga. Then kena ingat Idayu juga.. wakakakaka!!)

Oklah... Dalam topic perbincangan hal Mawi-Marsha, seorang forummer "N-ry" menyentuh tentang peranan Astro dan kemungkinan ada agenda lain oleh pihak Astro yang mungkin contribute kepada syndrome MarWi ni..

Seperti N-ry, ada juga di sudut pemikiran saya yang menyalahkan astro... Saja tak nak disclose kebenaran tentang Mawi untuk mengaut keuntungan.. Mereka tak nak saham Mawi jatuh kerana Mawi semestinya sudah menjadi 'brand' yang terhangat di pasaran... Mawi satu fenomena… While students were using their loan and funds to buy reload cards to AFundi, Astro on the other hand, was happily making money… In fact, bukan Astro je yg buat duit.. Karangkraf pun sama.. Majalah Mawi yang keluar sekitar konsert ke-8 tu rupanya untuk buat duit semata-mata.. Jika siapa yang tgk Halim Othman Live, dapatlah ketahui rahsia disebalik majalah tu. Kakak Mawi di wawancara.. katanya, keluarga Mawi tidak tahu tentang penerbitan majalah tersebut sampai ia keluar di pasaran. Dalam majalah tu ada satu column dimana mereka interview cikgu Mawi.. Sebenarnya, cikgu Mawi tak pernah pun bertemu media. Ada juga di katakana Mawi boleh menghafal 10 surah dlm sehari semasa kecil.. Kakaknya kata itu agak mustahil. Mawi kanak-kanak biasa saja.. Mana boleh dia hafal 10 surah dlm sehari.. itu luar kemampuannya.. See.. people are taking advantage.. making money out him..

Mungkin Astro had learned from the past.. how to make the most out of Akademi Fantasia.. Dan dalam saya belajar tentang seni perfileman dukumentari dan dari fahaman saya tentang reality tv… Memang producers ada memainkan peranan penting dalam jalan cerita sesuatu program reality. Dalam dunia perfileman, making a documentary is among the hardest. People are more conscious of the camera. And I learned that the camera does not do the magic… the subject does.. So how do people make documentaries, in this context, reality TV? They create something to bring it to the direction they want. Though this is the key to documentary film, in which reality shows are classified as, I don’t think it applies to our reality shows. The reality show business in Malaysia is still young. Producers and viewers aren’t yet hungry for excitement. I don’t think there is such thing here despite all the conspiracies… But who knows kan??....

Pasal gossip Marsha and Mawi.. saya pun rasa tak cool laa… Baru je start tgk dunia… dah kene gossip.. tapi then again, itulah hakikat bila dah jadi celebrity.. omputih kata “The price of Fame”… Sometimes I wonder, how do these people cope with it.. yelah Marsha misal nya… 12 jam lepas keluar AF, baru beberapa jam tgk dunia.. pastu baca Aksi.. dah memacam.. Marsha menggoda lah.. whatever lah.. dha tu tambah pulak dgn gossip.. If it was me, it would just be too much to handle…

Ntahlah, bagi saya…Selepas AF ni.. Marsha akan tetap saya sokong dan sayangi… Daripada fikir pasal dia secocok ngan siapa… Baik fikirkan apa yg kita boleh buat untuk membangunkan dia... Something yg kekal lebih lama dari gossip-gossip yg tak henti-henti tu… Marsha tu cantik orangnya.. Macam siti dan erra… gossip ni macam bayang-bayang di belakang mereka…

Apapun, malam ni saya juga berharap agar Marsha dapat tido dgn baik… tak mengigau atau sebagainya… Kalau semalam "Majulah Marsha untuk negara".. Malam ini ingin saya katakan.."Gossip Membahayakan kesihatan"

AF - The whole 'Mawi&Marsha' thing - Part Une

2005-08-11T23:09:00.000-04:00

Hangaaat... time-time jerebu ni, demam Marwi bukan main kronik lagi... Marwi.. Marwi.. Marwi.. saya lebih suka M&M.. heheh.. Saya panggil Marsha & Mawi -- M&M lah ye.. senang sikit...

Perkara ni hangat diperbincangkan di forum MarshaFC.. hmm.. saya tak pasti bagaimana pula dengan MawiFC kerana rasanya berbanding MarshaFC, forummer di MawiFC lebih bersikap radical dan fanatik. Jadi tak mungkin perkara ni boleh diperbincangkan disana.. well, not that i care but... hmmm

In general.. i don't quite agree with this whole "Mawi-Marsha" thing..

Pada pendapat saya, Marsha dan Mawi ada chemistry... cuma sejauh mana, kenalah tanya tuan punya badan kan.. Kalau takde chemistry, masakan mereka boleh berkawan rapat kan? Saya ada tertanya, kenapa dulu orang mengutuk gila Marsha.. di katakan Marsha menggoda Mawi yg tahap maksima.. tapi sekarang kenapa pula nak M&M together.. saya ni banyak masa sikit nak bace chat @15 tuh.. apa yg saya perhatikan.. ada segelintir orang yg nak M&M together tu adalah orang yg sama mengutuk Marsha pada awalnya..

Ini lumrah manusia... "Bila dah takde, baru nak kenang"... Bila dah tak dapat lihat gelagat mereka.. miss pulak tgk Marsha gurau-gurau ngan Mawi... Memang, saya sendiri pun rasa they look cute together...

Tapi itulah... hakikatnya Mawi dah bertunang... Dan yg saya rasa kenapa orang ramai dah mula nak appreciate M&M ni is because bila Aznil tanya kalau Marsha tau tentang pertunangan Mawi... Marsha kata.. Yes, dia dah tau sebelum masuk AF lagi... Maknanya, Marsha lebih tau jauh lebih awal dari kita-kita yg diluar ni.. Sefanatik-fanatik cik siti pun tak tau Mawi dah bebetul bertunang ke tak.. Siap simpan angan-angan nak kawin ngan Mawi tu... tapi Marshaaaaa jugak tahu.. Kalau fikirkan, mungkin kalau time AF tengah dalam sessi, dibawa nya keluar Mawi, peminat-peminat perempuan Mawi akan lebih getek, mengoda dan mengada-ngada dgn Mawi dari apa yg mereka claim Marsha buat.. mungkin 10 kali ganda..

Dan bila orang dpt tahu yang Marsha sebenarnya dah tahu pasal perkara ni... So akhirnya, masuk lah dlm kepala mereka yg Marsha tu memang cara bergurau dan berkawan dia macam tu.. MArsha macam tu sebab itu dia.. Realizing all this, orang pun mula fikir how sweet they'll be if it was true... Macam " Aaawhh... kan best kalau Marsha tu yg tunang Mawi".
Serupa macam masa David Beckham dan Victoria... PAda awalnya orang tak suka pada idea yang David is dating Posh.. tapi bila diorang nafikan dan buat statement, siap sue a photographer, orang pun mula berfikir ... "Aaawwh... but how sweet it would be if it was true"...

You know what i mean?

Saya rasa M&M sangat selesa dgn each other... Yelaa, dua-dua diserap masuk kemudian.. pasti banyak yg mereka share with each other..

Dalam pengalaman saya belajar di university yang ada 13 orang melayu sahaja di US, dalam 3 bulan memang u akan rapat sangat with at least 2-3 ppl among the 13.. Jauh dari rumah, u need a friend to talk to about everything... diorang lagi laa, tak de TV.. so u are left with each other.. sampai rasa macam dah keluarga.. sayang macam sayang keluarga.. Tapi bukan tahap jatuh cinta.. U'll develop a somewat surreal friendship.. a friendship u might have never experienced.. Bila you kawan rapat sangat, its hard for you to move to another level... Cos kalau pun u gurau manja abis-abis, u see it as a comfortable spot.. Kalau kawan opposite sex you lean on you.. you, yourself pun feel comfortable and loved.. You feel belonged.. In your subconcious mind, u're missing home and ur loved ones.. but because you get that touch, you forget about it.. you feel good.. Walaupun sekejap, 3 bulan.. tetapi sebab masa yg u spend tu terlampau banyak, it feels like you've known this person forever.. So, it is really a different kind of friendship u get out of this.. You love ur companion like u've never loved a friend before.. but not asmaradana kind of love.. dalam filem.. yess.. tapi realiti nya, tak semudah tu..

From reading and observing Marsha.. without even knowing her personally, I truly believe that Marsha ni fragile, sensitive, soft hearted.. but also hyper, funny, playful.. Duduk dalam Akademi tu yg agak tension dgn belajar je.. abistu kena marah ngan cikgu siti hajar je... banyak menduga emosi.. So she needs to have that play time.. And also sebab Mawi siang-siang dah come clean, pasal dia dah tunang.. maybe Marsha pun tau kalau dia selamba ngan Mawi pun, she knows there will be no strings attached.. If i were to be her, i'd say i'm playing it safe!!.. (Girls, Lesson #1: Play it safe! ) And boleh tengok lah dia tu memang takde terpikir pun pasal dia ngan Mawi.. (Chop.. ntah-ntah, Marsha dah ada bf.. *Gulp...* Sasau lah semua jejaka-jejaka malaya ni!! HAHHAHA.. padan muka korang!! )

Bercakap tentang Marsha acting n dancing masa both performance Mawi masa final, saya rasa Mawi kene share hadiah persembahan terbaik dia tu dengan Marsha laa.. Sebab Marsha tu penyeri nya.. 50-50 at least.. Macam mana?

Hahaha... oklaa sekian sahaja pendapat saya pada malam ni... semoga Marsha tidur dengan nyenyak nya... Majulah Marsha untuk negara!!

P/S : Kalau terlebih cakap karang takut kene hentam... Baik lah saya berhenti disini...

AF - Majalah Aksi dan aksi-aksinya..

2005-08-10T02:13:00.000-04:00

Siapa lah yang tak familiar ngan majalah Aksi kan?... Sejak bermulanya Akademi Fantasia, saya sempat membaca 6 edisi dari 10 edisi yang ada setakat ini… dan dalam menelaah majalah yang sepatutnya tidak berpihak pada mana-mana pelajar ini, saya dapat rasakan ada sesuatu yang tak kena dengan isi-isi dan istilah yang digunakan dalam majalah ini…

Apa yang saya perhatikan ialah pihak Aksi tak habis-habis merendah-rendahkan Marsha.Tak habis-habis nak condemn Marsha tentang segala kesilapan kecil atau tingkah laku marsha… Contohnya, walaupun Marsha buat persembahan yang tersangat-sangat baik… mesti Aksi akan highlight pasal Marsha menggoda penonton lelaki… tak pula di sentuh tentang vocal dan perkara-perkara yang lebih membina. .. Bila cerita tentang pelajar lain, boleh pula mereka cerita tentang vocal dan persembahan mereka…

Dalam keluaran terbaru -- Marsha lupa lirik, dia cover 1 page! Apa tak de cerita lain ke? Ini serupa kalau Kudsia Kahar yang tulis… Tajuk artikel tu “ Penat Kathy Datang. Kenapa Marsha Lupa Lirik?”.. okay, saya cuba beri alasan yang boleh saya anggap rational untuk mengaitkan Marsha lupa lirik dgn kehadiran Kathy Ibrahim.. tapi tak dapat saya cari.. Setahu saya Kathy ke situ nak tunjuk ajar teknik vocal dan menghayati lagu tu.. bukan nak tgk Marsha hafal lirik ke tak.. dan sememangnya, persembahan Marsha amat baik sekali pada verse kedua dan seterusnya, menebus kembali kesilapan dia pada awal persembahan… saya ada di stadium masa konsert tu dan duduk dikalangan Mawi FC (Pasal saya ni orang johor… jadi stuck laa ngan sedara-mara yang suka Mawi) .. dan lepas Marsha ‘goreng’ ngan suaranya, even penyokong Mawi yang tak ada mercy tu pun kagum.. Saya rasa objective Kathy datang ke akademi pun tercapai.. Even worse, at the end of the artikel penulis menyatakan “.. Mungkin selepas ini, Marsha perlu lebih serius dan jangan terlalu getek walaupun bertentang mata dengan pujaan hati.” What is the meaning of that??

Dalam satu lagi article berkenaan kekuatan dan kelemahan setiap pelajar.. ini dlm keluaran yang lepas.. Di sentuh ttg Yazer.. thumbs up! Cukup positive.. tentang Amylea.. Semua positive lah.. Cuma sebaris tentang persepsi orang lain terhadapnya suatu masa dahulu… Bila Mawi.. jangan ceritalah.. Tapi bila Marsha, tak habis-habis diulang-ulang tentang sikapnya yang cengeng, seksi, getek, memualkan dan segala isu-isu yang negative.. ada lah dalam 5 baris je yang positive… kenapa harus begitu? KAlau nak analyse semua orang punya kelemahan dan kekuatan, analyse lah bebetul.. biar sama rata.. paling tidak pun jangan laa sampai buat macam Marsha ni teruk sangat!..

Pastu ada pulak di tegur tentang cara Marsha pegang penyapu semasa di SPCA. Di kata marsha nampak kekok berbanding Yazer yang amat selesa menyapu di rumah orang tua.. Pastu mula lah assume Marsha tak pernah buat kerja rumah etc… Saya pun ada masa bila malas nak sapu macam itu jugak gaya saya.. Yelaa dia dah dapat jumpa kucing-kucing.. mana tak excited kan.. Bila kena sapu lantai.. memanglaa rasa malas.. Itu andaian saya.. Tapi pokoknya, kalau ada yg boleh dikutuk, akan mereka kutuk..

Marsha gurau-gurau di akademi, Aksi suruh dia berjaga-jaga dengan tingkah lakunya sebab takut orang kata tak elok.. apa sebab? Sebab Marsha gurau ngan Mawi… Fans Mawi interpret lain. Apa cerita?! Fans Mawi mungkin jelous sebab Marsha rapat dgn Mawi.. dan lagi satu.. ada baiknya juga Aznil bila tanya kalau Marsha tau tentang tunang Mawi semasa imbasan.. dan Marsha cakap dia dah lama tau . Sejak sebelum masuk Akademi lagi.. Haa.. take that people!! Dan mungkin sebab tu sekarang di Blog-blog AF serata Internet dan Chat@15 dah diserang syndrome Marwi.. Nak si Marsha ngan Mawi together.. After all that critism.. now they want them together.. memang sah.. U’ll only realize it when they’re gone..

Banyaklah lagi hal-hal yang membuatkan saya kurang senang.. Saya rasa orang tak anti-Marsha.. ada pun cuma tak berkenan je.. Tapi bila Aksi buat camni, macam tak ada yang baik tentang masha selain daripada wajahnya yang cantik dan tubuh badannya yang ala potongan model.. Vokal Marsha? Persembahan Marsha? Apa cerita? Kalau marsha tak tersingkir, dikatakan Marsha pancing undi dgn keseksiannya bila perform… kalau lupa lirik, dihebohkan macam Marsha lupa tutup api gas didapur sampai rumah terbakar..

Saya harap Marsha akan berjaya di persada seni… Marsha, Give It To Their Face.. Saya rasa bakat Marsha belum keluar to the max.. Unlike Amelia, Marsha has no experience whatsoever in performing as a singer, what more an artiste.. So I’d say Marsha is still very-very very fresh… Amylea dah berkecimpung sejak kecil.. mungkin tak banyak lagi yang tinggal untuk digilap… Tapi marsha.. banyaaak lagi… Mungkin Marsha ni serupa Misha Omar.. Masa awal-awal dulu orang tak berapa kisah tentang Misha tapi sekarang dia yang meletup… Dia yang jual.. If marsha keeps her innocence and purity, I’m sure boleh pergi jauh.. Marsha has a very decent attitude and that counts.. just look at Siti and Misha…

AF - Marsha's first TV Appearance

2005-08-09T19:50:00.000-04:00

Tadi saya tengok Muzik@Ria... Marsha's very first TV appearance after AF.. Well, at least that i know of..

Sungguh anggun sekali cik Marsha Milan Londoh ya.. Saya selesa tgk cara dia.. (well, not that it really matters laa kan.. but u know what i mean...hehehe) I wonder kalau baju yang dia pakai adalah dari koleksi nya sendiri atau astro yg sediakan?.. But kalau dia sendiri yang pakaikan.. Saya rasa cukup selesa dgn cara dia... very very decent.. dan seingat saya, sepanjang saya melayan diari tiap-tiap hari, saya cukup senang dengan cara dia berpakaian.. Baby Tee dan jeans maybe tracks once in a while... Very simple, subtle, decent, neat, mellow like MARSHAMELLOW... Dan dengan physical nya yang cukup sempurna, saya rasa marsha pakai selamba pun dah nampak sophisticated... Maybe i should admit that she does look sexy but in a classy kind of way.. Ada Class laa..

By the way, sexyness is a charisma.. Something u are born with it.. It's either u have it or u don't... That's why, some people look sexy in a classy kind of way, some people look cheap.. senang cakap - compare Posh Spice and Ginger Spice.. :)

Bercakap tentang fizikal... seharusnya saya katakan bahawa marsha mempunyai wajah yang agak menarik... Not just plain beauty but more like Exotic and Authentic at times... Kalau lihat marsha tanpa make-up or hair do (maknanya normal laa..) Marsha nampak Exotic... Wajah Kadazandusun nya yang sebenarnya mencairkan semua... Dan bila di make-up, Marsha kelihatan begitu Authentic.. Kalau buat filem macam Jimi Asmara (yang 50s themed) Marsha tentu boleh pull-off... (Hmm… I’ve always wanted to make a film about P.Ramlee.. Kalau diberi peluang… Watak saloma, ada calon dah.. hmmm)

Tapi lepas di colour rambutnya, nampak macam Mat Salleh pulak.. Pun begitu, Marsha tetap anggun... Tapi saya tetap suka Marsha yang original.. Bila hitam rambut tu.. lagi menyerlah!

Berkenaan dgn Muzik@Ria juga... Saya lihat Marsha very laid back.. tak banyak cakap bila tak perlu.. Tapi at the same time knows how to be entertaining... well, not perfectly but she's getting there... She knows when to be an extrovert and an introvert.. Itu yang saya pun rasa bangga jadi penyokong Marsha... Bukan apa, kan orang suka mengata dia macam-macam.. jadi the last thing i want is to see her do wrong things at the wrong time.. or Say wrong things at the wrong time... Biar Malaysia lihat how decent and innocent she is.. lagipun saya percaya, abis final... semua cerita ttg finalis pun akan terbongkar lah.. media akan kupas satu-satu... Tu kisah Mawi tunang dah dihebahkan.. lepas ni apa pulak..

Oklah, apapun.. saya tak nak berceloteh panjang lagi.. Continue sokong Marsha walaupun AF dah habis.. Jangan berhenti sampai sini je kan.. Haa.. Tahun depan AF4 bwak lah banner Marsha yang korang buat haritu... Dengar ada yang siap guna LED.. lampu-lampu.. AF5 pun begitu.. AF6 pun cam tu.. HAHHAHA... Bukan kita ketinggalan zaman.. tapi kita setia.. lagipun marsha pun kata "Cobalah untuk Setia".. aa cubalah..

Saya rasa sejak Marsha keluar ke alam kita.. dia macam lebih berhati-hati.. dah tak selamba macam dulu sangat.. tapi ni baru awal-awal kan.. mungkin masih janggal dengan dunia luar.. mungkin juga sebab nak elakkan dari dikata macam-macam.. now that she knows apa yg berlaku diluar sejak ketiadaannya... Dan dia pun cakap yg dia nak hilangkan imej penggoda.. Lagipun pada azalinya, dia memang proper... Kalau mawi dikata alim dlm Islam.. Marsha pun alim jugak dlm Adventist Christian.. betul tak?? Alim ni tak semestinya Islam saja.. apa-apa agama sekali pun.. Alim is just a word to define ppl yang kuat pegangan agamanya.. tidak kira lah apa-apa agama.. :)

Tapi baguslah kan.. dia nak orang tukar persepsi ttg dia sekarang.. before dia betul-betul dah masuk dunia glamour ni.. Nanti lagi susah.. Rasanya tak susah Marsha nak tukar persepsi orang pasal dia.. She just has to be her.. lagipun saya tengok day by day she's being more respected.. and i wish her all the best..

Lagi satu... Kenapa Marsha kena teruk? Honestly laa.. this is a fact.. bukan sebab saya ni pro-Marsha..Kalau tgk balik diary

sumer

.. saya rasa Ekin yg kuat nangis... sikit-sikit nangis over things that doesn't matter.. macam Mawi terpukul kuat.. biasalah tu.. Marsha nangis pasal tension, feeling down, tgk video Yazer pegi jumpa orang-orang tua yg terabai, tgk kawan tersingkir... Things that normal people with normal sense cry for... Pastu bila nak dipujuk.. Dengan Ekin.. Lelaki pujuk baru ok.. perempuan pujuk tak jalan... Marsha pegi kat Idayu n the girls... Pastu Ekin pulak kemain syok lagi bila kena gossip ngan Yazer... sipu-sipu... Marsha bila kena pair kan ngan Felix oleh si Aznil time konsert ke-4 (yg idayu keluar).. dia roll her eyes je cam tak nak layan... pastu kacau Mawi pun gurau-gurau.. Akma pun ada kacau mawi.. Bila kena ngan gossip ngan Jimmy.. tak de pun dia tersipu-sipu syok sendiri.. Jimmy yg tersipu-sipu ada laah.. Rilek je Marsha.. cam dah biasa... Ekin lagi teruk dari Marsha saya rasa.. Tapi kenapa Marsha yg dikatakan cengeng dan getek dan mengada-ngada dan sebagainya?????

Plus... Mawi pun pernah cakap Ekin tu miang.. gatal.. masa dlm satu perbincangan serious yg diorang adakan.. Mawi cakap Marsha getek masa Marsha kena jadi host dlm latihan yg diorang slalu ada.. itu pun main-main aja.. sebab marsha main-main tanya dlm nada manja "Apakah pandangan Mawi terhadap saya"... selain that incident, Mawi cakap Marsha 'bengong' ada laaa.. Hahaha...

AFNgada - Marsha or Ekin?

Peace!

GRAPHIX - The white cat

2005-08-01T22:58:00.000-04:00

This is an experimental design.. This is actually a replica of an existing similar design made by this guy, i'm not sure who. Found it sumwhere on the internet. Fell in love with the art and decided to try make it myself. So happen i have a Angora.. well, to those non cat-lovers an Angora is those white colored cats.. senang citer..

ANYWAY..

My cat's name is Amy Nadia... But recently demam AF my dad suruh tukar jadi...

Amy Marsha Nadia..

AAHHAHAHAH... Ape keje??!! Takde maknenye!! I have another cat... a male cat but he's not really of a fancy breed.. Just those normal kinds u'll find at the alley. We got him when AF3 was still in season.. So, his name.. guess what?

LIFE - So... Here I am...

2005-04-25T00:28:00.000-04:00

It's been a really busy week... i mean for a "break-week"... Well, not quite a week yet cos it's only Monday... But since Friday (i.e after Finals), I havent really had time to sit down and just do nothing..

Thursday, my last paper ECE455... walked out the exam room at 11.50ish... Then worked at the lab till 5pm... trying to make as much money as possible.. dah kopak!! nak makan ape?!!... Went home to find out that I have a meeting with the RFID research team the next day (Friday)... Lepak, went to sleep early... Woke up on Friday, went straight to the meeting... Meeting lasted - AS USUAL----> 2 hrs... Diri 2 jam tu!! DAMN! Went home... and then erkk... i can't remember what i did... SATURDAY - Teck Maan and Michele's commencement.. Oh ya, guess what... It's April and supposedly Spring... and it SNOWED!!!... HAHAHA! What a joke!... Wanted to shoot "9266.02miles Away From Nasi Lemak", a film i planned to shoot over the winter tapi tak sempat due to the load of work as an engineering student and my 'other extra curricular activities'.... Its a story about a malaysian girl craving of nasi lemak on a snowy afternoon.... Anyway, as expected, still tak buat jugak!... Procrastination is my issue here... well, like the rest of the 6,446,131,400 people of the world population... Well, considering maybe 10% are babies, 10% disabled, 30% Senior Citizens (Well, they're not to be blamed.. i mean, they've had their time.. ).. and maybe 25% are not quite procrastinators... so that leave 25% people like me... hey, 1,611,532,850 --- like Liverpool says it.."You'll never walk alone"... Now, they're talking!

OK... back to story...

On Sunday, I was (again) busy reading on the stuff for the research... and Monday... Meeting---AGAIN!! Buhsan betul! And then... here I am... writing... my first Blog entry of my life!!

Till then...
Carpe Diem
