Happy Song 2014

I don't know if I ever had a happy song before ..never actually announce that a song is my happy song

until I listened to Kyuhyun's mini album.
a brief info; Kyuhyun is the maknae from the biggest Kpop boyband (in my opinion), Super Junior.

the first single was actually this, 광화문에서 (At Gwanghwamun)




but when i listen to this, 깊은 밤을 날아서 (Flying, Deep In The Night)




I declared that this is my Happy Song. mcm, when i was listening to it, i imagined myself doing the cha cha dance. LOL too much information :P and i don't even know what the song means, yet!

I think i already know he'd be doing ballad for his solo but I still wanted to listen to it coz his voice is amazing. I've always love his voice in SuJu, SuJu-M and SuJu-KRY. Love Love Love is voice. mcm lulling lullaby. Inda ku tau lagi cana kan explain how much and why i love his voice. hahaha

I wonder how I'll be when Onew finally decided to do his solo. mcm, sawan kali. bahahaha! Let's not dwell with that now. We'll get there when we get there, yes? YES!

haha anyway, worth the pre-order of Kyuhyun mini album. xD 

but only song number 6 will be on repeat once I put the CD in my car music player. hahaha Krg tetido ku time drive if i listen to the other songs.

Movie Marathon

So, I went movie outing last Thursday and Friday.

Thursday night I watched MockingJay part1 with Faizah. she bawa me along with her company outing actually. Free what. LOL



and I so love the movie! like, I can't even begin to tell you how much! A+++

Now I have to wait for the second part which will be out on Nov 2015. I hope they change the date to earliest possible. like, next month. hahaha I am that impatient.


On Friday, i watched MockingJay part1 again with Zawir. 
still an awesome movie to watch for the second time! 

and after that we watched Big Hero 6.



I wanted to watch the damn thing becoz my sister and brother recommended it. they said, 'Baymax is cute!' 'Awesome lah'. Baymax is cute alright. but the part yg aku sakit hati was how I was almost crying in two/three scenes! awesome apanya?! sedih polangggg.. 
but ok lah. it was an awesome movie to watch. I love how the city of San Fransisco was merged with Tokyo in that movie. Muka durang urg puteh, tapi nama durang Japanese (not all characters). annoyed ku awal2, but towards the end, it didn't even matter. it's just a name. A++ for action pack cartoon!! 

Next?

I WANNA WATCH MOCKINGJAY PART 2 NOW!!!

xD

power of marketing. and money.

LOL

a/n: this was meant to be posted a long time ago. I kept holding back for some lazy reason. I decided today, to "just post the bloody thing already!". LOL

the obligatory book nerd

So, i mentioned in the previous post that I hate book series but feel like i have the obligation to read ALL of the series.

one example;
Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard.

 my first copy

When I started with the first book, Pretty Little Liars, I didn't know that it was actually a series book until I went to the bookstore again and found that there are 2 more books related to the first one. Aku beli those two books and after that, I was hooked.

 the rest of the PLL books that I owned

I finished book 12, Burned sometime last year (I think) and found out that book 13, Crushed was already out and book 16, Vicious is coming out soon (Dec 12th 2014).

there was long pause in reading between 'arcs' for me (Sara Shepard made the book in arcs; arc 1 [book 1-4], arc 2 [book 5-8], arc 3 [book 9-12] and arc 4 [book 13-16] ) and currently I am up till arc 3. 

 arc 1 [book 1-4]

 arc 2 [book 5-8]

 arc 3 [book 9-12] 
and 

 arc 4 [book 13-16].

I haven't seen any of the three-already-out arc 4 books being sold here in Brunei. 

my pauses between arc 1 and 2 was because I have to fly to KL (not really) to find the books for arc 2. then the pauses between acr 2 with arc 3 was because I contemplated whether or not to continue reading this series which of course I ended up reading them. Now, I'm in agony of wanting to read the fourth arc. four books total. already in my list of books to buy in Singapore. ada ku cari di KL last September but didn't find them plus the sells person in that book store sucks (not even trying to be polite coz they didn't too).

So, now, I hope they have it at Kinokuniya bookstore in Singapore. I remembered last two years I went there, the sells person was VERY helpful. Expecting the same service from them next year.

Me is lazy

I know I told myself that I'd finished at least 4 books this weekend.

I also said 'if aku rajin' which brings us to this post.


ahaha I wasn't rajin thus I ended up finishing only One book and it sorta doesn't count coz I started reading on Wednesday and finished it on Thursday. before the weekend. So, doesn't quite counts. 

that book was called Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama.


It was a good read. I bought it pasal covernya Mermaid. I've always have a fascination over mermaid, thanks to Disney but this book is a whole new level of mermaidness. like, i think the Pirate of the Carribean 4th movie version of mermaid is far more accurate than the Disney version.
and it talked about a mother's love. so, that a bit touching. a mother's love conquers all. 

I started reading Blood Magic by Tesa Gratton on Friday night 



and I only passed page 32. No, it's not boring, the book is actually very intriguing. it just, I feel the need to laze around this weekend. just, that. 

(after Googling for the above  Blood Magic photo, i found out that this book actually is a series. -.- I love series books, i honestly do. what i don't like about them is that, they made feel like i have to follow thru with the next book. like it's an obligation or something. I know i don't have to if i don't want but I HAVE to. you know what i mean?! ugh! now I need to put this one in my list of books to buy in Singapore next year. and her, Tessa Gratton's, website is awesome! check it out here!)

Instead, I played my games on my phone, watched another round of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix movie and even started on my 'old' anime DVDs that i bought, like, maybe, two years ago. (LOL. I had the habit of buying things and left it there to dust) i have 4 box sets of DVDs that are still plastic sealed. I opened the one called 'Working' and started watching that till episode 7. I actually let it run till episode 8 but i wasn't concentrating at all (playing games on my phone again) thus that doesn't count. I shall try and continue watching later.

for now, let me download Kyuhyun and Nicole mini album. 









hopefully internet connection stays awesome. 

Happy weekend lovely people. xD

another Concert

It seems like a very long time since I last post anything kpop here.

So, here goes;

SHINee annouced last Nov 1st at their I'm Your Boy concert in Hiroshima, Japan
that they are invited to do a concert at Tokyo Dome on March 14th, 2015.

Jonghyun was crying. that cry baby dino. can't he just left it in behind-the-scene thing?

(photo cr as per shown)

haha sorry, being insensitive there. he must've felt much love then. It was their long awaited dream to perform at Tokyo Dome (some kind of prestigious thing to do, like performing in Royal Albert Hall, London, I guess *shrugged*). Hence, he was crying. Key did too but more handsomely then this one. hahaha sorry dino. but come on~

anywayyyy, I was thinking, I WANNA GO! to Japan next year. visiting plus concert.

How i wish I'm super2 rich right now. 

I mean, I can't be sure if all members gonna be there, like the last concert of their SHINee World III, Onew wasn't there. I would hate to have come to the concert and one member couldn't make it.
I guess i want it to be as perfect as my first SMTown concert in Singapore. Everyone was there.

sigh.

Let us google flight tix and hotel tix for now. After I see the prices, then maybe I can decide properly.

one of these days

Seriously, 
I need to get a grip.
of my tongue.
Coz one of these days, I might slip something nasty out.
Nasty words.
I know I shouldn't be like this. I shouldn't even consider this.
OR even think about this.

Poor poor soul. they didn't even know that they're doing it. they must've thought we are all open-minded bastards.

I claimed myself the most open-minded one but I guess this little thing, I can't tolerate. or more correctly, I am trying but fail. I just can't. I can't open my mind to it. I can't.

Good thing I never claimed to be perfect. 
That would've contradict everything. 
phew~

hahaha 

I know, this post is like, blank.

if this feelings went on, I might have to say it out loud to my sister. She's my walking diary after all. Diari bergerak.
hahaha ha ha

Point is, I'm just worrying over what if one of these days I might burst and hurt people with my choice of words? What if?

Did you know physical wounds are easier to mend/heal than mental/feelings wounds?

I'm sure you do.


I know exactly how that feels and I don't want others to feel that too. 

not when I can help it.

sigh~

Tough shit

another notch

I was taking a break from reading the Book Thief by Markus Zusak 


(pasal that book was from the holocaust era with Hitler and I can't really continue..for now..)

and decided to do movie marathon. 
Twilight Saga.

I borrowed the DVDs from Zawir. though it's not complete; missing Breaking Dawn part 2, but I already watch that twice on TV, so I think I can managed to miss it at this marathon.
I was impressed on how very like the book the movies were. suka berabis ku.

this is a whole new level of love of fiction I'm having. after Harry Potter.

and now I want Robert Pattinson.

as Edward. no longer was he Cedric Diggory to me.


He is Edward. and I want my own Edward too!!!!

Now I know how Twilight fans are alike.Edward is the perfect imperfection. it's crazy.

eventhough I refused to imagine Kristen's, Robert's and Taylor's face when I was reading the book, as I watched the movies, they are perfect for these roles, I guess. though Book Bella is so much prettier in my head but that's just me, of course.
We can't all be thinking the exact same thing, can we?

is it just me of the fonts on this text is smaller? or is it because I'm writing so much more now? macam, should I change the font to a slightly bigger font?

anyway, I should really resume reading the Book Thief. 
but I've gotten lazy. and I realize how November is drawing to a close and December is coming. and hence, the end of the year. I still have thirteen in a half (the half being the Book Thief) books to read. I know i want to finish them all but suddenly I feel like I can't meet that goal after all.

The feels.

BUT i have three days off next week, hoping to finish at least four books then. Keyword: Hoping.
Let's also hope aku rajin next week. LOL

I am such a lazybum. that much I am certain.

Two downs ...

Hello lovely people...

feels like I've been out of the radar these past few days. WEEKS actually.
blame my current obsession on wanting to meet my goal before the year is up; finishing all my unread novels.
I must've offended one of my close colleagues; she was trying to make empty/bonding conversation couple (give or take) of Fridays ago but I was in the middle of finishing Twilight, so being the absorbed person that I am when I started reading anything (mostly because when trying to read, I need to really just do that, read), I wasn't really into the conversation. Oh, I was aware though. Aware that she wanted to make that empty/bonding conversation but like I said, I'm set on my goals. So, I kinda hoping she'd understand that I just wanted to read my book for the two hours break we were given for Fridays afternoons and I think she did understand coz she concluded the conversation and went back to her table.
and today I noticed that I might have hurt her feelings from my actions; she hardly smile when I talked to her.
I wanted to say that I am sorry for my behavior, wanted so much to explain to her about my goals and whatnot but I guess I don't have to explain myself to her. to anybody, in fact. We're both grown ups (she's a mother of two btw) and if the simplest of things bothers her, then that's not on me. So, I continued to talk to her as per normal. I didn't know if that was enough though. At least, I tried.

anyhoo...
finished two more books last Sunday and Tuesday. 






Amazing books.
No magic-magic this time. No blood-blood.
Just pure human stories. 
that we all can relate.
I relate to these two books on so many levels I can't even began the list.
It's nice to finally have new images in my head. a much more real one too.
Loves, heartaches and overcomes.
Both stories was set in the UK, so I was more than excited to have some familiar names to read from the book. (UK is my second home before Korea came. LOL)
and let's not forget the slang too. a lot of 'bloody' and 'fcuk' swearing going on. 
terkenang daku zaman high school ku. zaman2 mengobsess Westlife (they're Irish though) and wanting SO much to be English (British to you)! hahah Zaman Smash Hits and Top of the Pop. hahah OMG.
anyway...
All in all, a good read; I laughed and shrieked a lot. a lot of shutting the book too psl tertlalu banyak scene yg 'menakutkan'. you know, like when you're watching a movie and the scene was unbearable to watch you just stop the movie? or if you're watching thru cable, you changed the channel until the scene is passed? yeah, I had that too when reading. I'm something, I know. hahaha

 Anyway, two down, a few hundreds (an exaggeration) more books to go.

Having a break tonight from books. 
but here I am, writing down for this post.
I guess I'm like Danielle De Barbarac; addicted to the written words.
and I don't think that's really a bad thing. xD

Yayy

Yay.. I have finished my Twilight book series

and now I can move on.

hahaha

but I don't know how to move on. or rather, I don't want to move on ahaha.

My mind, right now, is sooo clouded with the images from the book; sparkling vampires, horse-size wolves, snow. dazzling eyes. dimpled smiles. It's a lot to take in, still.

I don't know why but I'm feeling a little guilty towards JK Rowling. felt my loyalty wavering a little too.
I was so obsessed with Harry Potter (both the books and movies) that I told myself nothing can top this obsession.

Clearly, I was wrong after Stephenie Meyer's Twilight (book) series.

I've loved Harry Potter for so long now but I have never, even once imagined on writing my fictions which include any element of Harry Potter magic.
But now,
I'm imagining a storyline that revolve around a half-vampire main character.

argh. I feel so guilty.
I don't know how else to express this.
I'm just...feels like I owe it to Rowling for my 'magical' world.
but then again, she doesn't know that I exist and that I am free to change my mind.
especially after I'm having a hard time digesting her (Rowling's) new 'adult' book, the Casual Vacancy. Sudah ku cuba untuk memahami buku atu but I guess alum ku ready kan baca her other works yg nada envolve the world of Harry Potter.

Free will.
Free reign.
Free to choose.

Erm. I'm not sure where I'm going with this post. I started with rejoicing over me finishing the Twilight series then proceeded to other nonsense about guilt (and probably about loyalty too in subtle way LOL).

I should stop here for now before I blab about how my work life is draining my soul dry this week.

sigh. 
 
I'll just see you in the next post people.
ciao~

Just ...

a/n: this post contain strong words of hatred. caution if you continue to read.

this is very random and I thought about this a lot all day on Friday before I decided to really post it here.

I. Hate. Sulli. (that fakeass maknae of f(x) )
That. Brat.
She. Annoys. Me.

Not gonna post her picture here. I hate her that much.

I thought I'll accept her after memujuk diri ku yg her life, artist life, is not my business.

but after that one time she 'left' on 'hiatus' right in the 3rd week of Red Light promotion, as understanding as I tried to be, I just .. just.

Pastu everybody all welcomy for her at her Promotion for Fashion King. like, she was crying, overwhelmed by fans support. FAKE!ASS! I mean, ok I don't know what's really going on but being Artist is YOUR JOB! and YOU SHOULDN'T BRING PERSONAL MATTER TO WORK! So, if you can be 'sensitive' and cry for fans support after what happened last time with Red Light, you shouldn't have done that shit 'hiatus' in the first place. GAWD. SHE PISSED ME OFF.

and I applauded her in To The Beautiful You?!

MADNESS! 

I know I'll be over this soon but for now, I. HATE. HER.

FAKEASSBRAT

Hi November

Good Morning lovely people. (it's 2:38am now LOL)

I missed Halloween. and dinner.
coz I fell asleep soon after I got back from work. 

Yes, it's been a loooonngggggg week.

a lot happened in a week, believe it or not. 
I finished reading two books, watched Ouija and hung out with ex-colleagues (not particularly in that order, of course).

last friday (24th Oct), I finished reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer



(finally!) and got so intrigued that I downloaded ebooks for the second, third and fourth of the series. 
and half-way thru New Moon, I realise I was obsessing over this series. you know, macam aku obsess arah Harry Potter. it's the same kinda obsession. LOL 
I finished reading New Moon in two nights (I only read night time since at work I can not really concentrate). 



and I continued on Eclipse which took me longer (well longer after New Moon. took me longer finishing Twilight. rupanya you have to push pass that first book to be able to be obsess with this series LOL); three nights, to finish coz I was tiredddd I took pauses in between but being obsess, I insisted on finishing it. hahaha I feel like I was seventeen all over again. 



I was supposed to start with Breaking Dawn tonight 



buttt since aku tertidur, I start tomorrow - or later. 

all this reading via ebook made me realise how much I forever in love with (physical) books. Sama plang saja, reading words but kalau baca from (physical) books is so much .. more .. feel? thats how I feel saja lah. different people different feels. xD

continuing on,
Last Sunday (26th Oct), there was a lunch outing with the ex-colleagues (except Ami. me and her still colleagues :) ). 

(left to right; Ami, Zaidah, Me, Faizah, Jidah and Jason)

it was awkward at first, but as time progressed, we ended up having a lot of fun. I remember looking around the table and thought, 'I miss this'. We were once so close but I guess not all close friendship will last. I'm just glad we are all (if not really) in good terms with each other. It was a nice catch-up session. ;)

afterwards, me and Faizah (yes, just us two. among the four yang left the company, I remain close in contacts with Faizah) went to the Mall and liat wayang. ceta Ouija



I gave it 9/10. LOL generous, I know! 
but since Annabelle (which I gave 8/10, another generous rate hahaha) 



I feel like ong puteh learned how to make good ghost movies again. the last scariest movie I watched was the Sixth Sense. imagine that. I guess my generosity came from being able to actually understand cerita2 ani. selalunya ghost movie durang ani inda membari paham or ended up on a killing spree saja without ending. well, Ouija was like that too but more tolerable and actually really was just a ghost movie. Thumbs up to the maker. Please continue to make good ghost movies in the future.

then Monday came and all I can think about is tiredness. haha mana inda, everynight after, baca buku(ebook) sampai menyubuh. I hope I give the same kind of dedication when I started going back to school next year. LOL #hopeful

all in all, as tiring as it had been, it was a good week and at work (yesterday already now) it ends nicely; we had makan-makan for my Supervisor's birthday and a junior's leaving. Food is always a happy thing for me. xD

Weekend starts already and I should sleep (it's 3am now). I need to wake up early later to go immigration with my sister. 

So, happy weekend everybody. will update soonies. ciao~
