L'Esperanza

I slept at 7 A.M. this morning, and woke up at 5:30 in the afternoon. What a good way to waste away all my time, eh? I had apples & bananas this morning at 3 A.M., and played games & chatted all the way before I decided to sleep at 6:30 A.M.. Then, I got a stomachache & went into the toilet for 1/2 an hour, clearing whatever God wants me to clear. LoL.

Just came back from a yumcha session with my friends.. LoL. Boring day, boring day.. Hmm.. No pictures to upload today, too lazy to take & upload them here. Camera quality not that good.. Sigh..

Hurt

It feels weird. Sitting 2 tables away from her, I could smell her perfume. Perfume or plain shampoo, I'm not sure, but it's the same fragrance.. The same pleasant scent which I used to enjoy everytime I took a deep breath whenever she's around. That was about a year ago. Now, it lingers around, together with the memories of what we have gone through together. Hmm...

Reached home at 12 P.M. or so, very very tired after the Chemistry papers, so I slept all the way till 8 P.M.. Yeah, it feels damn good.. Nothing much today.. I'll share a song & its lyrics with ya'll today.. Good emo song for me, it put me to sleep after repeating about 2-3 times on my laptop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Hmm.. Hurt, by Johnny Cash. Yeah, the Man in Black.. His songs are really good to the ears.. Enjoy, friends & family..

What I've Done

Woke up at 2 P.M., showered & went to Pavilion. Alone. Sigh. CheL' couldn't make it; groupwork, she told me. Oh well.. Drove there, traffic jam at Jalan Dang Wangi.. Reached around 3:30 P.M..

Random~

Bought a ticket for Money No Enough 2 at 5:10 P.M. A visit to T.G.I. Fridays after that, and as usual, a glass of Heineken.. Hahaha..

No Heineken, no life~ xD

Random~

Random~

I saw a couple doing something that kinda, urm, stirred-up some jealousy in me. LoL. What to do.. I'm just not as lucky as them.. And yes, I caught it on my phone.. xD Be extra careful when I'm around!! You won't know when your pictures will appear here..

Aww.. So sweet.. Good luck in your relationship..

Okay, let's skip that part. Money No Enough 2!! The sequel to the 10-year-old Money No Enough..


This movie contain less humour than expected. Well, at least it doesn't meet my expectations. It's a rather touching movie, one which can give you wet eyes while watching it. It IS that good. The story revolves around the struggle of three brothers in order to earn money & maintaining their status. It portrays situations which we can find, or maybe some of which we are experiencing. The brothers worked hard and at the same time tried to be fillial & caring of their mother. But when time of difficulties arises, selfishness in each and every one of them is displayed through their acts, including an attempt to send their mother to old folks' home. Very touching, especially the sacrifices by their mother to help the brothers financially and taking her own life in order to save her grand-daughter. The movie gives us a chance for a good laugh at ourselves while taking a lesson from it. Family first, money later. 4.3 out of 5 stars. Good movie, probably one of the best in Jack Neo's history of directing.

Should I go out later? My mom is in Singapore on a business trip, and I have the whole night to myself. Sigh... The night is tempting me to go out somewhere, probably to the town, and to watch nightlife in K.L.. K.L., is totally different at night. Less cars on the road, cool night with beautiful city lightings... I can spend everyday driving in K.L. at night. Really. Especially when I'm alone. Are these signs that I'm going crazy soon? Or is loneliness really showing its effects on me? Heh.. Whatever it is, I'll decide later. I shall take some pictures for tomorrow's post, if I'm going out tonight.

It's gonna be What I've Done, for today. What I've Done, by Until June, not Linkin Park. Enjoy.

Love At First Sight

Just came back from pasar malam with cheL' and her brother. Man, that large bowl of pan mee undoubtedly satisfied my hunger. LoL.

I hate it when someone mess with my plans. Like what? Fong-fei-kei, and all that. I was disappointed when SukYeng said she doesn't wanna follow me to a movie. I planned to ask JunYew to come along as well, but when she said no, I changed my mind about that and went Section 5 for a carwash & vacuum instead. After the carwash, I noticed some scratches at the lower lips of my front bumper, most probably from bumps and holes on the road. So I've decided to do something about it, and I went ACE Hardware at Melawati to get 2 cans of spray paint and a piece of sandpaper.

It's been quite sometime since I've done such delicate job. The paint will have to be sprayed layer by layer to ensure that the paint will not peel off that easily. Patience is important here, and I finished touch-ups on the bumper in about 45 minutes.


There's this girl at the pasar malam, she's such a good looking girl, and I don't know why she's selling ice-cream there. LoL. I've seen her many times; she's a heart-throb. So nice that I won't mind having her as my wife for the rest of my life. Hahahaha. Love At First Sight, maybe? Or perhaps it's just a crush. Heh. Love At First Sight, Kylie Minogue.

Shall Never Surrender

Screenshots of Devil May Cry 4 here. Managed to take some while playing, just to share it with ya'll. Some of them are still images snapped during the cutscenes, just thought that they're cool. And yes, GIRLS!! LoL.

Dante.

Dante, in Devil Trigger, or Demon form.

One of the bosses in Blood Palace, Echidna.

A scene of the special ending.


The hot ladies~

There are actually more screenshots that I wanted to take, but I couldn't, as both my hands are too busy slamming the keyboard trying to beat the bosses, especially the final boss. Freakin' tough. LoL. Anyway, those screenshots should give ya'll a basic idea of what Devil May Cry 4 is like.

I saw her in the canteen today, & a strange feeling came over me. I can't really describe how I feel. I'm THAT confused.. Sigh..

Here's something else to share, also from DMC 4. One of the original soundtracks for the game, the last song in the game during the credits. Shall Never Surrender, by Jason "ShyBoy" Arnold.

一公尺

I went out for dinner, & came back with a new game: Devil May Cry 4. Ahh, yes, the game that most RPG fans are crazy about. I've seen one of my friends playing it in tBun, and the graphics and gameplay dazzled me into buying the DVD. LoL. Anyway, you can't play the game with low PC specifications. At least Intel Dual Core, 1 GB RAM & about 7-8 GB of hard disk space. Yes, it IS that GODDAMN BIG!!

OK, I know it's the wrong time now, for me to be playing this game as I'm currently having my trials examination. But hey, I play to crack the tension of studying madly everyday into the night. So after playing for about an hour, here is a review from me about this recently released game that is set to join the Devil May Cry series.

I haven't played any of the earlier DMC games. Quite disappointed that the main protagonist in this version is no longer Dante. Dante is replaced by Nero instead, and joined later on in the game as a playable side character. The environment in the game closely resembles Final Fantasy X / X-2, and it brought back memories when I fought the first boss in the game, Berial. He look a little like Ifrit, though. LoL. Anyway, only got the chance to play for a while. The game is addictive, to be honest. But, I'll still have to put it aside & continue studying for tomorrow. High rating of this game from me, 4.5 out of 5 stars. Good game, recommended for Final Fantasy fans.

I finally have the chance to upload this song. 一公尺 [ Yi Gong Chi ], by Jerry Yan. Emo mood, emo song. Hmm.. Thinking about my life & what I can do to improve it, to shield myself from loneliness & sadness, & how I can find true happiness. Sigh.. Goodnite, fellow readers..

You're The Only One

"Why so serious??"

That was the line I heard, coming out from Ms. Christina when she saw me at the office today. I was filling up the A2 Examinations Registration form & she gave me a shock when I heard that Joker-style question. LoL.

Went Jusco with cheL', she was looking for a heart-shaped bottle for her assignment / assessment (whatever that is). She received a call from her classmate, asking her to join the others to KLCC to look for marketing stuffs. Argh.. Ruined my plan to watch Death Race at Pavilion, but I sent her to her college anyway & she met up with her friends there. I drove home, showered, & then left for Pavilion. Just for fun, walked around in there, had a drink at Starbucks. Didn't catch a movie, I reached there way too late and there were long queues at the counter. cheL' SMS-ed me at 5:40 P.M., & I left Pavilion & faced the traffic jam for about 45 minutes before reaching KLCC, fetching her & her friends back to Carrefour at Section 5, Wangsa Maju.

A weird request from one of my MSN contacts; he wanted to know how messy is a blogger / DJ's PC table. Well.. It's been quite some time since I last arranged things on the table, but it wasn't really that messy. At least I thought it's not that messy. Haha.


I know.. Small desktop monitor & cheap laptop.. I'm not rich, ok? I'm happy enough with what I've got, as long as everything works well. Haha.

You're The Only One, by Eric Benet. I would love to continue studying for the night, but at the same time I'm so tempted to lay on the smooth, soft mattress with the air-conditioner on. I also know that if I do that, I will most probably NOT wake up till the next afternoon. Feeling so sleepy, & my mom is making it worse. She's scolding the maid, & it is such a disturbance. You can get severe headaches by just listening to her voice. Now ya'll know the reason why I don't like to stay at home.

-MXV-

Scope

Sophisticated-writing is not my style. Really. It gets everyone confused of what I'm trying to say, and then readers will start to ask me questions, sometimes unrelated to the main topic. They stray too far & they get all the wrong & complicated ideas of simple things. That's why I don't favour using boombastic words in my blog. One of my all time readers asked me last night about it, & this is the same explanation he got from me.

As a blogger, I often receive threats & intimidations from anonymous(es). They dare to voice their hurtful & words of no truth, but lack guts to reveal their identities. I see these cowards as a waste of time & their parents' effort raising them up. So if you're one of them, listed under the category "No balls", then please get a life & get out of my blog. I thank you for your co-operation.

Weekends are always boring for me; the same goes for today. Study, study & study. Sleep, sleep & sleep. I searched for songs online & found a Japanese album, quite nice. New album, released on August 20 in Japan. Sometimes I wonder why I'm born in Malaysia instead of Japan. I love Japanese music & songs!! Found this female artist, namely Mell, and downloaded her newest album, MELLSCOPE. I've listened to all the songs in the album. Her songs are mainly game-themed. LoL. No, I don't know how to put it in words, but if it allows ya'll to understand better; her songs have similarities to soundtracks used in games. Ahh, listen to it yourself. Here's the first track in the album, Scope by Mell. LoL. Enjoy.

Love In This Club

I woke up at around 8:30 A.M., but I felt way too sleepy & went back to sleep until 2:30 P.M.. LoL. The first thing I did when I woke up was to send cheL' a SMS. Just for fun, felt like going somewhere, but not sure where. If you guys think that I've been enjoying life a little more than I should, take back your words & think again. The reason I felt so sleepy & slept my way through the morning into the afternoon is because I spent the whole night studying Biology & Chemistry, reading & making sense of everything, until 5:30 A.M..

Went 1 Utama with cheL', it was drizzling the moment we left her house & it started to rain heavily on the way there. Screw it, my maid washed my car this morning, it's all shiny & clean & then now it is dirty with mud & splash marks on the body of the car. Sigh.

Had lunch at the Vietnamese Kitchen, I ordered a bowl of Spicy Beef Noodle & Chicken Spring Rolls, she ordered Seafood with Fried Hor Fun. Good food, good food. LoL. Nothing is too salty, tastes just fine. Perfect restaurant for health conscious individuals that are seeking for delicious Vietnamese-Chinese cuisine. Pictures below!! Huhu..

While waiting for food, out of boredom~

Chicken Spring Roll..


My Spicy Beef Noodle. Hoho..

Eating spree~

Went Big Apple after that, bought Duren Duren (donuts with durian fillings), then to Koko Cafe & bought chocolates. Haha.. Finished all the chocolates in the car while exiting the car park. LoL. Sent her home after that, & went yum cha with Kati for a while before going home.

PETROL PRICE DECREASED!! Haha.. Not much though, only by 15 cents but that sure helps even a little. Also, a new facelifted Myvi is released today. Only some cosmetic changes to the car.. Hmm..

Anyway, here's what I've promised ya'll in the earlier post. Love In This Club Part II, by Usher feat Beyonce & Lil Wayne. Compare & decide which is better of the two.

-MXV-

Love In This Club

Initially there was a plan to go Genting for Chan's birthday, but it was cancelled by Chan himself for some reasons. Called Kati in the morning, he wanted to send his car back to the accessory shop to fix the alarm. Went to the accessory shop, & one of the workers just simply topple the siren speaker over & water flowed out of it. It was flooded, causing the sound of the siren being very very soft.

Hell yeah it's a boring day. I was all prepared & excited about Genting as I miss the Starbucks there (LoL?), but Kati disappointed me when he told me that Chan has already cancelled the plan last night. Sigh.. Went around Wangsa Maju & Sri Rampai area, visiting car accessory shops finding the Daihatsu window sticker that Kati was looking for. Temptations.. Kenwood amplifier for RM 600 inclusive of installation & wirings. Door visors, RM 60 a set. Strips of LED lights for car interior at RM 15 per foot. Racing-style door stickers, RM 35 per door. Good, I'm able to leave those temptations behind & save my money. Hahaha.

Went tBun until 5 P.M., 2 motorbikes & a car were blocking my car from reversing, & it was raining. The owner of the car came after a while & moved the vehicle. It was raining heavily, so I waited in the car, almost fell asleep. Rain subsided at around 6:45 P.M., I got down from my car & moved the bikes to the side before reversing & finally driving home.

I shall return to my Maths revisions now. Very tired, but I still have to get things done. Here's Love In This Club, by Usher feat Young Jeezy. Expect Part II to follow up tomorrow.

Forgive Me

I'm feeling bad now. Really bad. Seriously, I don't know whether my car is cursed or something, but I'm definitely feeling that it is getting more & more evil. Or perhaps it's my driving skills that are only suitable to be taken on to the race track. No, seriously. I just caused an accident at the MRR2 just now while I'm coming home. I don't know whether it is my fault or the other driver's own carelessness.. Here's the whole story.

I was speeding, at MRR2. Doing about 150 - 160 KM/H, & then in a blink I was behind this black Myvi, following closely. The black Myvi was doing quite fast too, at least 120-130 KM/H. He gave way to me by going into the middle lane. I overtook him & then swerved in the traffic, overtaking some other cars as well. The driver must have thought that I'm asking for a race in a rude manner, and then he came chasing up on my right while I was in the middle lane. He then followed behind me closely, & then I swerved into the left most lane as I'm about to exit MRR2, & because there was this car being too slow in front of me. The driver couldn't turn in time & crashed into the back of the car, spinning several times before hitting the divider seperating the highway. I was petrified when I saw what happened on my rearview mirror & heard the loud bang but I continued my journey & left MRR2. I was speeding because it's getting late & my mom was calling me non-stop asking me to come home. So is the whole thing caused by the driver being careless, or is it simply my fault? I didn't bother to slow down or stop after that, just sprinted all the way till I'm finally home. Feeling guilty now though. Please!! I need some consolation..

Leave that behind. Time to explain why am I so late. Went to Chan's birthday dinner, & then tBun for DotA before yumcha at B.R.J. & finally sending Adrian home. Took some photos at the dinner at Jalan Genting Klang, about 15 - 17 friends & classmates attended. Yes!! 15 - 17!!

Melvin & Kevin while waiting for the food.

Adrian, Brian &.. uhh.. Adrian? LoL.

Shaun, posing. John On, a little bit distracted by JunYew's stories. LoL.

Kim Seng, the cool guy o.O

Satisfied faces after the meal.

Maybe what my mom told me is right. It's the hungry ghost month for the Chinese, & the ghosts are around trying to make peoples' life miserable, & that I should be extra careful in doing things. Thank God I'm not part of the accident, or else I'd most probably be in the hospital now instead of blogging. Of course, I'm still hoping & praying hard that the driver of the black Myvi did not get any serious injuries, or else I'll be feeling guilty for the rest of my life. Let's just see if the accident is covered in any newspaper tomorrow morning.

Forgive Me. Seriously. Forgive Me, by Leona Lewis. I'll have to cope with this temptation to speed whenever I'm on the highway, or else I'll surely be in trouble one day. Forgive Me, the black Myvi driver, if you're one of my blog readers.

海闊天空

I'm very, very sorry for the extremely late post for today. I got too carried away for a while just now, and when I look at the clock, I felt like I've missed something today. Then I took some time to think, and finally figured out that I haven't typed anything for the post today. LoL.

Holidays couldn't be any more boring than this. Yeah, especially if you are going out with MY friends, which, honestly, most of them are boring. Went Times Square with Melvin this morning to take his laptop from the service centre. Tried to get cheL' to come along but she woke up only at 11 P.M., & said that she will not be joining us. So sad. After having our lunch at Station Kopitiam, the first thing I asked him was, " Where do you wanna go next? ". He gave me an answer which I kinda expected already before I asked him the question. " Don't know la.. Go home only la.. ". It's only 12.30 P.M. at that time. Very well, I sent him home & stayed at his house for a while, feeling sleepy & almost dozed off before I excused myself to go home.

Reached home at around 3 P.M., my dad's at home. Didn't bother to take a shower, checked my MSN, blog & mailbox for a while before taking an afternoon nap. I went to sleep wearing my socks & watch, with my phone, wallet & card wallet in my pockets. Snored & snored until 7 P.M.. Woke up & saw my dad, ready to go out. Not sure where to, I didn't bother to ask him. My mom & maid are not home yet, so I knew I had to find my dinner by myself. Drove to Soon Ly at Section 2, take-away belachan fried rice. Hmm..

Went Melawati after that, & bought a double special burger. Haha. I thought I might need more than just a plate of fried rice to ease my hunger (I was literally starving). Couldn't hold back my need to eat, once I reached home I finished everything in less than 10 minutes.

My belachan fried rice.. Huhu..


My beloved Double Special burger.. Huhuu..

There's this HK Cantopop band, Beyond, that's kinda popular in & around Asia during the 80-90s. The members started out by playing in schools & night clubs, and their unique talents were noticed by Leslie Chan, their late manager. They gained popularity from there on, until the death of one of the band members, Wong Ka Kui. Ka Kui was the mastermind of Beyond, the lead vocalist & rhythm guitarist, not to mention that he wrote the lyrics for almost 90% of Beyond's songs. It was a tragedy, while filming a gameshow for Fuji Television in Japan on June 24, 1993, Wong Ka-Kui fell off a 3 meter platform head first, and was hospitalized immediately. He died after spending several days in coma due to internal bleeding of head injuries. He is undoubtedly one of the best HK artist in history.

There was this song used in one of the tobacco advertisements in Malaysia, if I'm not mistaken, by Peter Stuyvesant. That was way back in 1994 or 1995 where tobacco advertisements were not banned yet. I searched high & low for this song for a couple of years without knowing the name of the song & the band. Found it about 2 years ago in my father's car. The song was playing on the CD player in my father's car, & I secretly took the CD from his car & ripped it into my PC. And then it took me another 2 years to find out the title (the CD is a compilation, ripped it into my PC without any info). 海闊天空, or Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies. Regarded as one of the best songs by Beyond, I know I must share this with ya'll. Enjoy this one here, & may Wong Ka Kui live in our memories forever.

Sweet Sacrifice

I'm done with upgrading my car. xD Really, I'm done. LoL. Sent my car to the workshop this morning to fix the dents & cracks on the bumper & then resprayed the whole rear bumper. Costs RM 400, curse the motorcyclist that crashed into the rear end of my car. Few pictures below, comparisons of the bumper before & after the fix. I'm relieved that there is almost no difference in colour of the car body & the resprayed bumper, as it was quite an issue for me when I was deciding on whether I should repaint it.

Slightly dislocated, visible cracks at the side of the bumper.

Before the fix.


After the fix. Ignore the purplish colour on the bumper, it's the camera flash.

There are more cracks actually, below & near to the middle of the bumper, but I didn't bother to take pictures of them. Went to an accessory shop at Sri Rampai, installed chrome door handles & smoked my headlights. xD RM 150 gone there. Some of you may not be familiar with the term 'smoked headlights'. Took a picture of my car after smoking my headlights to give ya'll an idea of it.



See that? Smoked headlights, they make the car look fiercer, something like the lions in Chinese's traditional Lion Dance. LoL.


Part of the process of smoking my headlights. They removed the whole bumper & the lights, sprayed the shiny panel in it black & then installed them back. Looks cool, eh? The original smoked headlights from Perodua Service Centre will cost RM 700+ for a pair, smoking it at an accessory shop only costs RM 120-150.

Just came back from supper / dinner with Joey, I'm feeling bloated after having a big claypot of 'yee mee'. LoL. Laziness is taking over me, revision exercises are starting to look boring to me. Yet, I'll have to try hard to force myself to study or else I'll be failing my exams. Haha. So please do let me off, & listen to the track for today. Sweet Sacrifice, by Evanescence.

P.S: No women, no cry. No MyVi, I DIE!! xD

Natsukage

No class, holiday week. It was raining very heavily this morning, my car is all dirty again. Zzz. Brought Kati to the accessory shop in Melawati to install an alarm system into his car. I was kinda frustrated throughout the whole morning & afternoon as my mom hadn't banked in the money yet (she gave me RM 1K in cash after that, though). LoL. Paid RM 100 to Kati as I owe him that for quite some time already. Left RM 900. Used 1 piece of the 18 RM 50 notes for food & drinks, phone reload and I got like RM 20+ left. Okay, will try to live with that until the day after tomorrow. RM 850 left. What am I gonna do with it? Fix my bumper, first. Replace the door handles with chromed ones as the current ones are scratches & some of them even got their paint peeled off. All that will probably cost me RM 500-600, but I'll claim from my mom as I'm not actually supposed to use this RM 850 for car fixing. My mom asked me to get everything done & then show her the receipt & she'll pay me. Haha.. Good..

In the afternoon, I was quite pissed off with my mom. Why? Out of a sudden she asked me to drive my car to her office so that my dad can drive her to Shah Alam as his car has broken down. That's not the best part yet. I went upstairs into her office to ask for my bank account passbook, & she scolded me & chased me out of the office in front of her customers. I was angry & sad at the same time that my mom treated me like this.

Called Kati to pick me up at my mom's office, he arrived almost an hour after my call. Went tBun for a while. Lost a DotA game, then my mom called at about 6 P.M.. Kati sent me back to my mom's office to wait for my parents & drive the car back.

Basically quite a boring day.. Had to cancel the initial plan to go watch Wall-E with cheL' because my parents were using my car. Zzz..

Here's Natsukage by Suga Shikao. Soundtrack from the anime Honey & Clover. Sorry for the boring & kinda short post today, will try to snap some photos tomorrow at the workshop & upload them here to share with ya'll. Enjoy the song here. Gotta go sort some things out & prepare a checklist for tomorrow.

Give You The World

My phone suffered some scratches today. The carrying case that comes along with the phone is a bit oversized, and the phone simply slid off the case & fell to the ground when I was closing the car door.

Some of the first few praises on the new paint job on the bumpers are coming from friends, and even strangers. LoL. Chan's brother was praising it just now, about how the bumpers look better than the original TRD set of bumpers. Haha.

Just came back from supper with Kati. That's his dinner anyway. LoL. Was bored, so decided to visit Chan at his house, chit chat. Took a few photos of my car at the petrol station & the car park at Chan's house. Looks good at night. Defines the ghastly name given to it, 'Wandering Road Ghost'. LoL.

It'll be better if the rims are 15 or 16-inchers, but for the sake of lowering petrol consumption.. Nah, I'll stick to the original size & lighter weight.

The silhoutte of a nightroad rider... xD


Taken at the carpark, sucky night mode image..

It was pathetic to see a person asking for money while working. Wondering what do I mean by this? I woke up late today, about 2 P.M., and I had my lunch then checked the blog & friendster a while before heading to the car porch, checking the engine oil level & wiper fluid. Then, the dumptruck came & a few workers got down & started to clear the rubbish. One of the workers saw me & stood outside, calling me. I asked what he wants, & he said, 'Sampah hari hari banyak, bagi minum sikit la.'. I was furious over that, as it means that I should pay him some money as he have to clear the rubbish everyday. Does MPAJ pays him to come ask money from me? Then why am I paying taxes since it still goes to his salary? We should never pay them or else they'll come asking for it everyday, and it'll be their side earnings. I 'fuck him no free' & ignored him.

I haven't uploaded any R&B songs for quite some time, so I filled the gap of R&B 'emptiness' & uploaded one for today. LoL. Give You The World, by The D.E.Y.

Going Wrong

I took my sweet time doing some Chemistry exercises this morning (woke up as early as 6 A.M. just for the exercises), and I got really bored of it, took a shower & had breakfast at 9:40 A.M. SMS-ed Kati around 10 A.M., & we went to a workshop, the same workshop where I've checked the cost of fixing my rear bumper. No, I didn't fix it. Instead, I requested for the guy to paint the middle of the front & rear bumper. Matte black. The dents & scratches on the bumper will have to wait; my mom is going to pay me the money to fix that. Heh.. So, below are pictures of my car, comparing the condition of my car on the day I got my car & today.

The front of my car, on the first day.

Same angle, now.

Rear of my car, while it's new.

The same car, now.

What's your opinion? Yes, my car may look weird compared to other Myvi / Passo / Daihatsu Boon (s), but hey, that is also the thing that makes my car stand out from the others. Hahaha.. The paint job costs about RM 180 & takes 2-3 hours, but it definitely worth every cent I paid. The workmanship is excellent. A flawless paint job with no dusts entrapped in between the new & old layer, which is a common problem. Absolutely smooth. You can see it in the picture below. For more information or if you are looking for a place to respray your car, please give me a call. I'll bring you straight to the same place, free of charge. Haha.


Smooth surface, thanks to the man that got this job done. F.Y.I., the black portion of the bumper is not meant to be shiny & reflective. Matte black, not metallic black.

I think that's about it, I'm done with my car upgrades and it is looking good as ever. After this is all about taking good care of it, fixing the bumper first & then polishing & waxing the car.

I'm hungry as hell & there is no one that is willing to go for a dinner with me. Sigh. Maybe I'll just cook a packet of the Korean instant noodle my mom bought the other day. Just to ease my hunger. I'll continue my exercises later, but before that, let's all listen to this track; Going Wrong, by Armin Van Buuren featuring Chris Jones & DJ Shah.

Qian Shan Wan Shui

I hate it when my parents use my car. If anybody were to lend his or her car to my parents, that's the last the person will ever see his car being clean. They're capable of converting your sleek & sporty hatchback into a dirty & smelly dumptruck. Especially my mom, she have this bad habit of throwing tissue papers everywhere after use, eating in the car, slamming the door hard, etc. My dad? He's a rough driver that goes over any pothole as if he's driving his Pajero, although it's actually a Myvi. Mudsplashes everywhere on the body of the car. Sigh.. I'll have to wash my car everytime they use it, or else it'll be dirty as hell.

She haven't paid my money yet. Yeah, the RM 120. Starting to feel the pinch there of having limited amount of money to spend, but I can live with it. I'm just hoping that I'll get through every single day without having to feel sad or emo. Yet, I'm feeling very emo today. The reason? Don't ask. Sigh..

Checked the price of touch up on a part of my rear bumper that got hit by a motorcycle a few months ago. RM 500, to fix the dents, respray the whole bumper with the original colour & the middle of the front & rear bumper with matte black. It'll look nice & sporty, but it also means that I'll be removing a portion of my meal for the next few months if I'm really going to do it. That, will have to wait. Now, I'm broke.

I'm not sure whether I should go for the extra class for Applied Maths tomorrow. I'm not in the mood to see my friends now, I think I'll just stay at home & finish the exercises instead. At least that'll be better than going for the class but not paying attention to what the lecturer is teaching.

Here's Qian Shan Wan Shui by Jay Chou. Official song for Beijing Olympics 2008. Well that was what I was told by Wiki.

Drop Zone

The final bar list is out, & I'm glad my name is not in it. Perhaps the office already looked into the matter, which I really appreciate. Oh well..

Did nothing much today. Studied a little at home, feel too bored & sleepy to continue but I forced myself to do as many exercises as possible. Yeah, just to find out what I don't know.

There are so many things that I wanted to blog about today, but I just couldn't remember most of them as I'm feeling very sleepy now.. Too tired to continue this post. Take this song here, I'm sleeping early tonight.. Zzz..

Drop Zone, Darren Styles.

Rush

Finally, Imeem is now up & running again. My playlist is now updated, please do try out songs that you've missed. I assure that you will only receive the best song recommendations from me. Hahaha.

Went LowYatt with Melvin & a few of his friends from his school today. He wanted to send his laptop to the service centre as the speakers are faulty. It turns out that he will have to allow 3-5 days for the technicians to fix the speakers, so he just left the laptop there at the service centre & went on looking for a thumbdrive, router, LAN wires & a notebook for his dad. Found one, Acer Aspire 2920 for RM 2599. A laptop smaller than Melvin's, but with higher & better specifications. Of course, I'm good at bargaining, & finally managed to help Melvin reduce the price to RM 2399, with freebies & Windows XP installation. A tech geek like me shouldn't be allowed to enter LowYatt or the shops are gonna lose more than they earn. LoL. Left LowYatt at about 4:30 P.M., and we're headed to the next destination; Wangsa Maju Carrefour.

Why Carrefour? Janice passed her phone to me, saying that the speakers are faulty and asking me to help send her phone to the shop for a fix. I didn't know why I was nice enough to do her a favour by sending it to a phone technician that I know, and got it fixed for a price lower than the market price. It was RM 150 in the first place, but I complained and told the technician that he took too much time to fix small matters like this, and finally he succumbed, reducing it to only RM 120 as the replacement parts are quite expensive. Took money from the ATM, paid that fella & I'm broke again.

The new, lighter set of sport rims on my car lowered my fuel consumption quite significantly. RM 10, or 1 bar of petrol took me to Danau Kota in the morning to look for the accessory shop Kati told me about, to & fro LowYatt & back home. Usually I will be using up to 2 or maybe even 3 bars of petrol if I were to go all those places in one day, so this is quite a breakthrough for me & my car. LoL.

It is very, very late now, and I think I should get some sleep. Chemistry tutorial at 10 A.M. tomorrow, I don't wanna miss that. Now, before I go, here's Rush. No, it is not another version of Rush by Sied Van Riel. This is a completely different song composed by DaRude. Goodnight, folks.

Communication

It's been three days since Imeem was down, and I'm starting to worry about the featured songs for some of the previous posts which I have not uploaded yet. I wonder what happened to Imeem? Or what happened to Streamyx? I have a MSN buddy from Romania, & she's able to access the music site with no problems whatsoever. It might be caused by Streamyx being too slow to succefully load the site. Sigh.. Hope the problem will soon be solved by either TMNet or Imeem technicians, or else I'll have to find somewhere else to upload my songs.

No matter what I do, I will not be able to wipe that Malay-boy image off myself. Last night, I was having a drink with Kati at B.R.J., with a Chinese newspaper by my side, on the table. Then, a chinese girl & guy approached us and started asking, "Encik, adakah anda berminat untuk menyertai survey uMobile? Encik hanya perlu menjawab beberapa soalan ringkas dan anda akan diberi beberapa hadiah secara percuma.". I halted him before he continued, & then exclaimed that I'm a chinese in Mandarin, "Wo si hua ren.". First of all, do I really look like a Malay? Second, I suppose the chinese newspaper on the table is not convincing enough to show that I'm chinese. And the most crucial part of all, am I really that old for you to call me "Encik"?? I know that the guy is trying to be polite, but he's using wrong words on the wrong person. I allowed them to continue anyway, & helped them with their survey because the girl is kinda cute. Hahaha. In the end, I'm given three 018 simpacks, and I gave one to Kati on the spot. Gave the other one to cheL' and one for myself.

The cute girl working for uMobile. Sorry for the low resolution, my current camera sucks and ya'll will have to wait for quite some time before I get myself a better camera. Sigh.

Random shot~

Kati, dumbfounded after the survey incident.

B.R.J. always play Hong Kong movies on it's big screen via projector, and I was pretty shocked by their choice for the movie last night. A HK mob story was played, I don't know the title. It was OK, showing a guy trying to return to the right path after being released from jail, and taking good care of his sisters. But then as the movie progresses, it got to a point where one of the sisters (a gambler that couldn't cope with her own addiction) could not pay the loan sharks, and one night she was brought to a club to face one of the gang leaders / loan sharks. She was drugged and gang-raped on the table in the club. The raping part was kinda.. erm.. revealing? I didn't know that playing movies containing sexual scenes like this in public is being accepted nowadays, especially in Malaysia. Ya' know, all those stuffs about Islamic teachings, considering that B.R.J. is actually a mamak or Indian-Muslim restaurant. This shouldn't be happening, even in a chinese area like Wangsa Maju Section 2. I'm just saying that it might trigger some troubles.. Ahh not gonna give a damn about it.

I've got exciting news, well at least for myself. LoL. This blog is now the first link that appears in Yahoo! & Google when searched with the keyword "mx lair". Hahaha.. Don't blame me for being over-excited about it. I'm just happy that at least it is popular enough to make it into the first page of search engines.

Yahoo! Search.

Google Search.

Yeah.. So proud about it.. LoL. Oh right. I've changed the sport rims on my car to better-looking ones. Hahaha. Didn't change the size of the rims, still at 14-inch. Because larger rims means heavier, more rolling resistance which equals to lowered performance of the car & higher fuel consumption. Larger rims are also more expensive. I was offered RM 630 to replace my 14-inch rims with a new set of 15-inch local JRD rims. The idea of a set of beautiful huge rims on my car certainly sounds good, but there are more drawbacks than just plain looking good. And then, the taukeh recommended me a set of 14-inch ADR rims from Taiwan, which is much lighter & sexier than the stock AND 15-inch rims, and I only have to add another RM 500 as I do not have to change the tires since they are of the same size of the stock rims. RM 500, WITHOUT hidden charges.. Darn it. In the end the whole thing was RM 750. RM 250 for the bolts, metal air tube & alloy bearing to hold the rims in place. Luckily I didn't choose the 15-inch rims instead, or the subtotal will leap to a whopping RM 880. At the end of the day, Kati & I came up with a meaningful danger-of-smoking-warning-like sentence: "Every inch KILLS." Heh.

Eeh.. Much better than the original Perodua sport rims ^^.

Not that clear.. Hmm..

Sent my car for a car wash after that. Only RM 5 for wash & vacuum, which I think is quite a good deal.

RM 5.. A price that can't be found anywhere in the town.. LoL.

Ok.. I think the post for today is kinda extra long already. Hope that the Imeem problem will be fixed A.S.A.P., or I'll have no choice but to upload to a file hosting site for direct downloads, or to find another reliable music site. Sigh. Communication, by Armin Van Buuren. Again, I will try to access the site & upload all the songs that I have missed.. Very sorry for the delay.

If You're Not The One

11th August, 2008.. A day filled with much sadness & sorrow for me. Let me briefly explain what happened throughout the whole day.

Woke up in the morning, accidentally skipped Biology tutorial class. So I took my sweet time showering & preparing myself as Pure Maths lecture is cancelled. Went downstairs to my PC room, the first thing I did was opening http://myresults.cie.org.uk/ to check my AS-level exam results. As expected, it was PATHETIC!! I will definitely have to resit for the subjects again.

I was quite pissed off with something; friends that SMSes me to ask for my results. Trying to show your concern? Or simply love to compare between them and me? Everytime I send them a SMS, they will reply me late, or simply don't reply at all. Even it was my birthday, I don't hear any birthday wishes from them. They won't even bother to say hi when they see me, and now they come asking me for my results. Fuck off, I will never reveal my results to 'friends' like you.

Replaced the brake discs on my car today. Have I told ya'll about the incident during my birthday, the once where my car went out of control a little when I hit the brakes? It was caused by the uneven surface of my disc brakes, and today it just got worse. I was driving at 50-60 KM/H when I stepped on my brake pedal to slow down. Then, something scary happened; the car swerved left & right dangerously. Even though I've held the steering wheel firmly, the changes in direction of the front wheels transfers & forced the steering wheel to move in the same direction as the wheels. Luckily there were no cars around at that time, I was able to regain control & drove slowly, not exceeding 40 KM/H to the nearest tyre shop to replace the brake discs. If I were to wait for Perodua to replace them, I will most probably die in an accident on the way to the service centre. One freaking month to wait for two pieces of brake discs. My life is precious & priceless, I rather pay RM 240 for a new pair of brake discs than to wait for Perodua to do the job.

Taken while replacing the brake disc, notice the rust on the original disc on the floor.

New brake disc.

Will be installing a new set of 15 inch sport rims tomorrow, simply couldn't resist the offer that the guy at the tyre shop offered. RM 600 trade in value for my set of rims, which is quite high. I'll upload photos of my new set of wheels tomorrow.

If ya'll recalled, I've said something about the eleventh of August on one of the previous posts. What was it? Well.. Yeah, if Janice & I are still together, it would be our first anniversary today.. One year ago on this very date, we went official & public about our relationship. Sadly, it was a short lived romance... I still remember everything, from how we first met, & then got into a three-way struggle with Sylvester until the break-up. Sigh.. Why didn't I just let the both of them together? They'll look much sweeter & better together, & I will most probably never go through the pain I'm currently experiencing. I feel bad for what I've done, ruining everything for them. So ya'll see the reason why I'm being extremely emotional today? I tried, and I tried my best, to forgive myself & forget everything. But the shower of fine, tiny little fragments of memories with her on my poor soul just makes me feel moody. They will remain as a permanent scar that fades away along with my life.

Two weeks before the trials for A2 examinations, and I'm determined to study as hard as possible to score. I've been slacking too much & it's time for me to attempt changing myself. I will try my best to score well for every single paper that I'm taking. Can't afford to let myself laze around anymore, no matter how sucky & tiring my life is.

Imeem has been down for 2 days, I wonder what happened to it? I couldn't enter the site & do my daily uploads. Maybe I'll try again tonight. Here are the lyrics for the song today, to go along with my emoness and sadness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms...............?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daniel Bedingfield's If You're Not The One rhymes and repeats itself in my ears today. Letting it out & sharing it with ya'll.

La Ultima Noche

I dreamt of that phone shop girl last night!! Oh my goodness.. Such a wonderful dream, but I will not reveal the contents of the dream here as there are some indecency in it.. xD Underage viewers, stay out of my dreams!! LoL. I'll just keep it all to myself. Hmm..

A SMS from Chan woke me up at 11:30 A.M., pulled me back into reality from the vortex of orgasm I almost had. xD Yeahh, it's a wet dream..... LoL. Chan wanted to go Genting. Genting?? On a freakin' Sunday?? Traffic is gotta be mad for sure, so I declined. Then he suggested that we should just go have a drink & visit tBun for the afternoon. That should be better than the first plan, so I promised him that I will fetch him at 2 P.M..

Nothing much happened throughout the whole day. Glad that the days of bad luck are over, but still, there are big things in store for me tomorrow. A combination of disaster & sadness & emoness that will hit me, and hit me hard. The Advanced Subsidiary examination results are released tomorrow, and I've already foreseen the possibility of me retaking some of the subjects, if not all. And it is the eleventh of August tomorrow.. Zzz.. I'll share that with ya'll tomorrow, ok? I'll need to prepare & brace myself for the worse tomorrow. I might go catch a movie or something after class, if I feel like it.

Imeem is currently down, can't load the page even though I've clicked the refresh button like, what, a gazillion times? That means the upload for today is most probably delayed. Check back soon for La Ultima Noche by Ruben Gonzalez & friends. Gotta stop typing for now, my mom is forcing me to drink 1 big jug of home-made orange juice ( I hate orange juice >.< ). Wish me luck..

Soulfly VI

What's up, dudes.. Hmm.. I tried to make my life less pathetic & lonely today by calling friends to at least have a dinner with me. But it turns out that no one is willing to spend a small fraction of their time with me, & I ended up finishing my prepaid credit instead. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Eating alone doesn't sound that bad to me as I've been spending most of my time having my meals alone.

Went Danau Kota, thought I might have supper with cheL'. But I ended up yum cha with Kim Seng & Chan, & then sending Chan home before running an errand. Went all the way to Sri Petaling & came back in 15 minutes.. LoL.

Today, I've learned something new. For me, fine girls are everywhere, but true love is nowhere to be found. Sat at B.R.J., sipping at my teh tarik watching good-looking girls walking in and out of the mamak restaurant, mostly with their boyfriends. Even if they are single, I wouldn't be a point of attention to them. I do believe in this line though; In beauty, evil lurks. It's not necessary for a beautiful girl to be evil, but sometimes some of them tends to manipulate this gift given by God. If you're wondering what gibberish I'm talking about, let me get straight to the point; those with good looks are often materialistic and selfish. Erm.. Sometimes I do have girls looking at me, but I suppose it is because I'm a fashion disaster, or simply because I'm so ugly that I've caught everybody's attention. LoL. Still looking for the one... Hahaha..

I do realise that there are some things that we shouldn't even bother; it will come naturally. The harder you try to achieve or obtain something, the further it gets away from you. One possible example would be cigarette smoke. Imagine this situation; you're sitting in front of a friend who is smoking, and you're trying hard to avoid the smoke. Even though he is not blowing it to you, the smoke just keep coming towards you, and the smell lingers on your shirt. Somehow if you're not avoiding the smoke, it will just go up instead of suffocating you. Of course, there are factors such as wind & stuffs like that, but at least that is the basic idea of the whole thing! The same goes with life. Don't get me wrong, because there are things that we should work hard for, and things that we shouldn't be wasting our time on them. My principle of life? Sit back, relax & enjoy watching the world & history repeating themselves again & again. Sometimes things keep on repeating for me until it is possible for me to predict what is going to happen in the future. Nono, I'm not stuck in a pandemonium, I'm just sharing my mind, except it's all in a pile of words to be arranged & understood by ya'll. xD

Now, before ya'll start listening to the song for today.. Soulfly is a death metal / black metal band and most of the songs are, well.. not that pleasant to your ears. LoL. However, this song here is an exception. 'Softer', and for those that haven't really tried death metal / black metal songs yet, this should serve as an opening or introduction to ya'll. Mild, guitar plays.. Not recommended for people who are allergic to repititions (people like MALCOLM.. xD). Soulfly VI by Soulfly, from their latest album Conquer, released on July 29th, 2008. Enjoy.
