Been so busy lately. Since I had to hand up my first Accounting assignment on Friday before 12.00p.m., had to put more time in finishing it on days prior to deadline. Although I think I might get fairly low grades for my work, I'm quite satisfied with it as I did manage to complete it in time, and with little commitment and effort. Besides, I didn't really understand the questions anyway, so I guess my going round the bush exaggerations will not be effective this time around.

Weather had been a crazy man apparently. One moment, the sun glares at us through the clear sky. Otherwise, the thick blanket to our earth blocks the sight of the sun. Worse still, oversoaked cotton dries up by transmitting water to the ground. It delivered both tragedies and joy.

On Friday night, the rain was terrible. It spoiled plans. The street party in Monash/Sunway was disrupted at first. The strong wind causded damaged in the campus, by bringing down a huge board that broke a glass mirror. It caused flood in certain steep areas. The train service was interrupted by the critical moment. And above all that had been mentioned, I was late to Shirlyn's farewell party because I couldn't leave the campus.

Shirlyn or AbuGal, is my Taylors Classmate last year. She was one of the Beijing Girls. She loves pink. She's cute. She has good skin complexion. She has a warming and likeable personality. She took up a beauty course. She's consistent in work. She likes to "harrr". She threw a good party on Friday. She entertained us well. She took pictures with us. She can sing well. She's a frequent Redboxer. She will be heading to University of Technolody and Science, Hong Kong to pursue a Marketing Degree. She will be leaving this Sunday. Hereby, just want to wish her good luck in everything she does, and stay healthy as always.

Shirlyn and I.


The Lesbo during the party!
Just to share with y'all, I came across this new express way to fold a t-shirt on Yahoo! Video a couple of days ago.



Entertainment news:

1) Beyonce wants to team up with Shakira. What a great idea!!! Both are my idols!
2) Stars are Blind is banned in India. The reason? Soft porn!
3) Talking about collaborations, the Maneater wans to team up with Slim Shady!
4) Yet another reality talent show in the making.
5) Did Paris really need to cry for her "great" album?

Movie updates: Nationally, Remp-it is yet the movie champion for one consecutive week according to the GSC chart. New launches include The Ant Bully at no. 3 and Nacho Libre at no. 4 respectively. These days there are just such limited choices of movies in the local screens. Opening this week are Beneath Still Waters and Snake on a Plane.

Music update: Hips Don't Lie invades the world as the track leads the global chart for its 15th week. However, looking at the points collected for the track this week, big chance is that we'll have a new no. 1 next week. Still, Shakira's chart-topping hits should be acknowledged as the 2006 track of the year, and the longest track at no. 1 since the chart has been established. Bravo! Promisnous has supassed Maneater in the top ten, while Beyonce sees it's new single rounding up the top ten in its 7th week.

Justin's track gained the most points this week, landing at no. 11. There are 2 debuts this week. Firstly is the catchy Get Up by Ciara feat. Chamillionnaire, at no. 35. Then, Cherish feat. Youngbloodz fills in the 38th seat with their single Do it To It. Juanes seems to be enjoying quite a lot of airplay for A Dios Le Pido (no. 32), a single that was released very long ago. Has it been re-released to the worldwide radio stations? Not sure but all I know is that the song is undeniably nice and of quality.

Xtina released her sophomore effort after Stripped, named Back to Basics this time. The album entered both the Billboard and Global chart at no. 1! Another accomplishment for the Dirrty singer.

It seems that more and more people are falling sick these days. Pity 'em. I was sick a few weeks ago too, but have fully recovered since then. Mine was terrible compared to others as I had flu, fever, sorethroat, muscleache and stomachache. Sounds like dengue, but fortunately, it's not. Aikz, for all of you who's sick out there, may y'all fully recover as soon as possible!

Didn't really want to blog, but since I've been tagged! by Vin, I just thought of accomplishing my task today. So here it goes:

10 YEARS AGO I WAS:

Still in Standard 3. That time, I had Phang, Ee Vonn and Su Via as my close pals. We used to have loads of fun back. Many topics were the root to our insane, almost pathetic conversations. It was also the first time we used fruits to describe the different sizes of boobies. Naughty as we were only 9 years old. Looking back, I do miss the time I shared with the three of them. Other than that, nothing much happened within that time frame. Oh, I got fairly good grades during that year so I found myself in 4A the next year.

5 YEARS AGO I WAS:

A hardworking nerd in Form 2S. I was also appointed as the class monitor for the 1st consecutive year. During that year, I scored the best grades in my life so far, ousting Yin Yang for the no. 1 spot throughout the whole form. Talking about him reminds me of Shiau Kee. She was a friend of mine who left M'sia for Australia. Had been long since I heard from her.

A major event that took place that year was me being caught red-handed for gambling in school by my BM teacher back then. And guess what, it was just my first round playing after being persuaded by my friends who absolutely induced me with bad influences. I can't believe I got busted so quickly. Nevertheless, I won RM1 afterall although I had to sign an offensive letter that is filed in my school record.

It was also the year when I had my first and last cheerleading practice. Even though I belonged to Green House, I helped out with Blue House instead. Being a weakling at that time, I didn't make it to the actual team that performed. All the practices turned out to be a waste of my time. Damn.

1 YEAR AGO I WAS:

In Taylors Business School undertaking Taylors Business Foundation. There, I met my F4 members, Piggy and Donkey. It was certainly the best time of my life as I did many great, unexpected things with them. Skipping lectures, backstabbing and bitching about others, celebrating birthday in Secret Recipe, bashing up Sunway Lagoon, cam-whoring in Piggy's house, etc. Uncountable great memories that always remind me to appreciate all the time I have with them.

YESTERDAY I WAS:

Going through the same old routine of Dirty Tuesday. Received my above expectations results of for Business Data Modelling test. Uni turned into a circus yesterday as Fitness First came to promote their sheat alongside with Ciba Vision, Clinique, etc. Then, had another boring tutorial for Business Law and since someone wasn't there, the class turned out to be superboring instead. Finally, Marketing lecture ended the day gracefully. The lecturer reocmmended us with some remedies to release stress, before telling us his 'past life' and all.

1) Beyonce - Ring the Alarm
2) JoJo - Too Little Too Late
3) Ciara - Get Up

There are too many for this one.

1) Beyonce - Deja Vu
2) Beyonce - Ring the Alarm
3) Beyonce - Crazy in Love
4) Shakira - Don't Bother

IDEAL PLACES TO RUN AWAY TO:

Anywhere without war and discrimination. On top of that, a place where nobody knows who am I.

5 THINGS I REALLY WANT:

1) Destiny's Child Live In Atlanta DVD
2) Pair of white sneakers
3) Pair of green sneakers
4) Pair of blue sneakers

1) Cow
2) King Kong
3) Tammy
4) Nixie

Sometimes, I bloody hate Streamyx whenever there is a bad connection, or some maintenance shit that lasts for a few hours/days. I know they're trying to upgrade their system to provide us with better services, but can'y they come up with some back-up internet connection? Anyhow, broadband yields a lot of benefits to me already so, I shouldn't be complaining much, should I?

Anyway, did some groceries shopping the other day and I bought some new snacks in the market. First up, Munchy's very own mini chipsmore called mochachips. It tastes just like Danone's Chipsmore with hazelnuts, but with an extra touch of blended mocha flavour. Nevertheless, the sweetness is a bit over the top. And the price? Only RM1.55/packet, which is cheaper than Danone by 20 cents!

Always rely on Twisties to bring new ideas to the market! And here there are, 2 extremely weird flavors of corn snacks. The first one is salmon teriyaki flavor, which is not too bad. The smell of it stinks to me, yet it tastes okay in the mouth.



The second flavor is tandoori chicken! The real tandoori chicken is delicious, and to be honest, Tandoori Chicken Twisties is good too. However, the taste resembles a bit of the all time favorite BBQ flavor.


So, Paris Hilton has released her debut album simply titled Paris. After listening to the whole album, I still can't figure out why did she claim that she can sing really well. Although there are a couple of tracks which are listenable, others are almost ear-torturing. I might have been dissing Stars Are Blind all these while, but I've gotta admit it that it sounds good eventually. Just compare it with Turn It Up; Stars is superior. My ratings for each song are posted below, followed by an average rating for the album which is rounded up with some extra personal credits for her effort and determination to bring something new (yet bad) to the music industry.

Paris Hilton - Paris

1) Turn It Up *
2) Fighting Over Me *
3) Stars Are Blind ***
4) I Want You **
5) Jealousy *1/2
6) Heartbeat *
7) Nothing In This World **1/2
8) Screwed ***
9) Not Leaving Without You *
10) Turn You On *1/2
11) Do You Think I'm Sexy *

Overall ratings: **

Movies update: In Northern US, Will Ferrell continues his reign as the bof office champion for one consecutive week. Top debut at no.2 this week is Step Up, a dance movie which has been compared to Save the Last Dance and Take the Lead. The outstanding performance of the movie suprised most analysts. I've seen the movie, and I can just say that the movie is bad! World Trade Center sits at third place. (source) Nationally, Remp-It, the new Malay film, is the no. 1 film in the GSC Chart! Oh my god. I can't believe the ammount of responses the movie is receiving. I'd never thought that the movie will surpass Click (no. 2) as this weeks box office champ. Shocking. Garfield 2 also arrived at a satisfactory no. 3.

Music update: Incredible chart performance by Shakira with her song, Hips Don't Lie atop of the Global Chart for 14 weeks. The top 10 is almost unchanged, and Nelly Furtado now has 2 tracks in the top 10 position - Maneater at no. 7 and Promiscuous at no. 8. Bubbling udner the top 10 is Beyonce's sophomore single off her B-Day album that will be released in about 2 weeks time, Deja Vu. Justin's comeback hit, Sexyback has the largest point increase this week, which pushed the track to no. 16 on the chart. Hot shot debut belongs to Southern All Stars who entered comfortably at no. 34 with their track Dirty Old Man.

Finally, after a string of busy days, I'm finding myself to be blogging again. Miss it so much that everytime I came online, I visited the Blogger Site, yet refrained myself to blog due to sickness which is receding already. The fever's gone entirely (bye bye! although I'm still quite hot) while the flu is getting better. Nonetheless, the sorethroat deteriorated today as flams are building up!

Anyhow, many people are turning sick these days. Julia, Tammy, Timmy, Joyie, Sky, Ernest and Elvis. Tammy jsut assume that everything has a little bit to do with the seventh month. Well, many will subscribe to that view, but I will blame it on the weather too. One moment, it's all glary and sunny. Then in no time, sky turns cloudy. The climate is way too playful lately.

Nothing much happened in university. Firstly, Monash University launched its very own campus radio. I heard some of the music during the launch, and if I'm not mistaken, it was Indonesian music that was played. Um, all I can say is, unless the top 40 hits today are being broadcasted, I won't be listening to it. Awesome features of the radio would include the podcasts in which lectures and latest news can be downloaded. Oh by the way, the moderators for it has fine taste of music too since the noteworthy artiste chosen is Shakira. Other than that, classes went on as usual with 2 to 3 boring lectures.

Haven't been updating my recaps on latest videos recently. Don't worry, if that's what you're looking forward to, I'll get my ass working very soon. The next updates will be on Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. What a coincidence if you guys can still recall the Super Bowl XXXVIII Half Time incident. It was the fresh start that changed the showbiz thanks to an "unplanned" wardrobe malfunction.

So many assignments to follow up already. Marketing: Tough. Question this week is undefined clearly. A lot fo questions in mind. Progress? Started and about 10 percent done. Business Law: Tricky, difficult. 3 questions all together. Steps to produce good answers are extremely systematic and clear. References will be a predicament. Progress? Have not even started. Accounting: All theorical questions. Sucks. Difficult. Research needed again. So far, don't even know what I should do. Always ask "where do I start?" Progress? None. D'oh.

Movies update: Dragon and tiger were tightly securing the top spot of GSC chart for the past week (03 August 2006 - 09 August 2006). Even it had been on screen for quite some time now, Pirates are still the no. 2 favorite of the locals. Entering at no. 3, The Break-Up seems to be another average movie of romance. Nevertheless, Jennifer Aniston is Hawt! Other movies in the top 10 were Lady in the Water, Someting2 Unakum Enakum (What a movie title!), Dorm, American Haunting, The Lake House, Just My Luck and Imsai Arasan blah blah (another weird movie title!).

Music update: Shakira's hips are just worthy for another week atop of the global track chart for the 13th time. It's on its way to become the most successful track of 2006! However, I expect the single to lose its top spot by next week or so since many songs are earning huge points. Gnarls, Christina and Rihanna remained at no. 2 to no. 4 respectively, while Pussycat Dolls who have been criticised by the government for their sexiness increased one spot by their song Buttons. If that news wasn't shocking enough, this will do. Stars Are Blind continues to climb up the chart, landing at no. 6 this week while being recognized as track with LARGEST point increase! Talk about insanity! Top debuts this week includes red Hot Chilli Pepper's Tell Me Baby (no. 31), Jessica Simpson's A Public Affair (no. 37) and Tiziano Ferro's Stop! Dimentica (Olvidate) (no. 40).

Finally, 7th month will soon reach its midst. Um, I meant the Chinese lunar calendar. That's great, because I do relate all the bad news lately to the occurrence of the annual Hungry Ghost Festival. It bothers me to see bad news everyday about some brutal or gruesome assault, robbery, rape and murder. It is as if that it's not even safe to be out of the house. Ugh.

Nevertheless, I'm still not at home once in a while. Sent my car for its weekly bubble bath yesterday and now Keahi is all clean and ready to be penetrated by the filthy air around my housing area. Tammy and Joyie joined me during my shopping spree in Carrefour before Tam and I went out for a drink in a shop called Sweet Bean. Didn't really like the food there. We ordered some weird stuff, such as deep fried mashed sweet potatoe with chocolate filling and almond, deep fried milk cubes, and red bean with HL milk and some bitter jelly. I'll give the food a 2 1/2 while the ambience a mroe than generous 3 1/2. The only recommended food one should order should be their sago ice kacang with fruits (without the kacang of course).

Finally, I got my first ever job at Crystal Edge as a telemarketer. I can't wait to work, but somehow, I'm afraid that I might not handle the job well. As an introvert, I have difficulties in conversation, especially with strangers. Alhtough everything will be done through the phone, the fear still exists. Let's just hope that I don't screw up the part-time job because the pay is fairly good. However, there seem to be another problem that has risen. I think I'm losing my voice due to the unstable weather and the food intake these days (thanks to garlic bread and durian!).

Movies update: On the new GSC chart for week 27 July 2006 - 2 August 2006, legendary monster, Dragon had destroyed the Pirates, replacing 'em as the #1 movie. 3 seems to be the number for Lady in the Water, while an Indonesian terryfying flick, 12.00a.m. entered at a devastating no. 9!

Music update: Once again, the world isn't fed up with Shakira's honest hips, as she lead the global chart suffering only a 3 percent drop in its airplay. Christina's Man climbed a spot to no.3, whilst Rihanna too claims her third top 5 single as Unfaithful reached a new peak of no. 4. Perhaps, the fact that Paris Hilton's debut single Stars Are Blind rounded up the top 10 is extremely shocking! I can't believe it. Does she really deserves it? You tell me. Talking about her, apparently there seem to be 2 versions of her video. The one I showed to y'all few weeks ago is the milder version while the one I saw on Channel [V] yesterday was the soft-porn v. Anyway, noteworthy song this week belongs to Beyonce as her latest track, Deja Vu leaped the most, from 23-12. On the other hand, Fergie, who's most probably her rival in the music industry claims the hot shot debut arriving at no. 27! Whoa. Let's hope that her London Bridge will not break down easily.
