Secret Codes & Battle Ships

Okay, it'd be pretty unfair if I don't write anything about an album, which I had on replay on my lappy and my Ipod for days now, and I'm pretty sure most people had forgotten about this guy, or haven't even heard of his name. The album that I'm taking about is called 'Secret Codes & Battle Ships' by Darren Hayes.

Stronger

Music is the best therapy if you're down and blue. You can't either turn on some sad songs and listen to them until you ran out of tissue. Or you can sang your angry heart out with some edgier songs. Kelly Clarkson's latest offering 'Stronger' is definitely the latter of the two genres. The whole album dealt on theme of betrayal, hurt and becoming a stronger person out of it all. There's no 'My Life Will Suck Without You' kinda love song on this record, and there's no 'Never Again' kinda rock song here too. In Kelly's own word, the album is pretty much 'In Your Face' kinda album. And I still LOVE it after the endless leaking from Kelly's team.

Look Out

Teddy had been on the look out for me all afternoon

by my window pane

I asked of him

To warn me if it rains

To call me if anyone visit

To inform me if anything interesting was happening below.

But nothing happen.

No rain.

No visitors.

Nothing interesting.

It's been a while since anybody was on the look out for me.

Thanks Teddy.

2nd Time Around: My Melaka Dream

There's something between me and Melaka, something that I just can't explain. I used to read about it in History class but I never dream that I could one day actually came here, to see with my very own eyes what remains and what it has become. It's pretty crowded with tourists but looking at its bits and pieces kinda make me sad, because who would have thought that a force so powerful in south east Asia would became just a tourist attraction. I guess everything came so quickly for Melaka, but it also ended as quickly as it begins.

While playing tourist there, I kinda really feel sad for Melaka. But hey, when I came here for the first time, I just couldn't get enough of it, not just the food, but the whole place. So, I really wish that I could come here again, and I did. So basically, I'm just gonna show you what I have been up to while I was there. There's no real life adventure, no romance and no people getting killed. Just pictures.

I actually went inside the church for once.

Birthday

Happy Birthday to the 2 guys who probably knew me better than any other guys here. 23 years old. I've been 23 for a few months now, and I can tell you that growing up kinda sucks. There's nothing much to look forward to life: first, there's our graduation. But before that, we still gotta finish our thesis, which seems like a Mission Impossible to me. After graduation, maybe there will be some unemployment for some time. Not to mention your love life will probably still be in the state of Limbo.  I didn't recall signing up for a lot of deep shit that life kept on throwing at me, do you?

Put The Pedal To The Medal

Okay, most of my Facebook friends knew that I'm currently roaming the street of Malacca with my trusty Iphone which is still running on IOS 4. But I'll save all that details for another post. So, if you wanna read on, please bare with me for a few minutes because I'm going to share a bit of my thoughts about Real Steel, the Hugh Jackman movie. Yes, the wolverine guy who has a real hell of a body.

Real Steel premiered today and I went and watched. If there's Hugh Jackman in it, you betcha I'll be there. So, the story goes like this: Sometime in the near future, around the year 2020, and I doubt that Malaysia has achieved its vision, there's no more WWE or WWF or what so ever wrestling competition. They replaced the real people who fight while wearing only their underwear with, get this. Robots! No, not your Transformer-type of robot, their version is much more realistic and they don't turn into cars or other machinery.

Crawling Back To You

So what if you made it to the top three on American Idol just to get your butt kicked by two singers who turn out to sell less record that you do. The whole point of these reality TV show is the exposure. Once viewers have seen you and heard you and they liked you, then you're paving your own golden brick road to stardom.

That's why happen to Chris Daughtry won came in 3rd place on American Idol. I thought he was good but I was rooting for Katherine Mcphee back then because I was hoping she'd be Kelly Clarkson 2.0, and I thought wrong. Taylor Hick won but the only two Taylor people remember these days are Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, which ironically broke up back in December. Plus, Taylor H. and Katherince M. both came out with flopping albums. But it was Daughtry who really stand out in the music industry. He was the first real rocker who came from Idols and he made it big. Real Big.

Once In A While

Karsly, Michelle, Me, Ruffy & Jessie

Once in a while,

we lose our mind,

we go crazy.

Once in a while,

we give calories our middle finger,

we kick diabetes's butt,

because,

Once in a while,

it's okay to be crazy!

Black Apple

I thought it was just a joke when I saw one of my friend posted 'RIP Steve Jobs' on facebook. I thought she was referring to her disappointment on the Iphone 4S. But when more and more of this same status popped up, I knew something was wrong. After a little goggling, it has became a solid fact that the man behind the bitten apple has passed away, and he was only 56 years old.

Destiny must have a sense of humor, because it was only yesterday that the world (or at least half of the world) was celebrating the release of the Iphone 4S and the new IOS 5, I know I did. Apple proudly show off the new model of Iphone on their homepage, even if it look just like the Iphone 4. Now, fans of Apple mourned for the lost of Steve Jobs. Seriously, after death took Amy Winehouse, now he took Steve Jobs? I know the guy's sick, but this is just too sudden. I always thought he would stick around to wait for the Iphone 5. Guess we know what the S in the Iphone 4S stands for. It stands for Steve.

Iphone change the world, it's like the ancestor of touch screen phone, and along comes the Ipad, which almost is the ancestor of the tablet pc. Iphone and Ipad really raised the bar in the gadget world. Yeah, I know there are some people who thinks that it's not worth the money because there are cheaper models which give you what you look for in the Iphone and Ipad. But the Iphone and Ipad don't just rule the gadget world for no reason. There's a reason why people keep wanting more from Apple. Now that I own an Iphone, I know why.

Thank you Steve Jobs, for my Iphone and Ipod. You've changed my world. I hope you're in a better place. RIP.
