The blue legged zebra


The lovely zebra pumps from the lovely Bunny Noo. I adore them so! And look at the brand label, it says "Goody". And there's two of them shoes.

Geddit, geddit? HAHA!

Top 5 things that officially suck ass


5. The new Bionic Woman

4. Kelly Rowland trying too hard to sing like Beyonce

3. The new Coca Cola advert with the song that goes "Camni lahhh.. camni lahhh.."

2. Drivers around OUG

1. Jennifer Hudson's song called Spotlight or something. The new Maxis broadband commercial with Daphne Iking and whoever. What, you mean they're not acting? Gasp, I totally couldn't tell!

Where did my balls go?

Jo, remember when you and your sister forced us to wake up early the next day at Genting, so that we could get into the theme park sharp at 10am so NO TIME IS WASTED and we'll be able to sit all the rides all day long? And we sat on the Flying Coaster and thought it was dumb and a waste of 10 bucks (you were laughing so hard your saliva splattered onto your sis' face next to you and she couldn't wipe it off coz our hands were strapped down). And the Solero Shot, where you and your sis insisted "MUST SIT FACING THE OPEN AREA SO THAT WE CAN FEEL THE FALL BETTER!!!", and she was laughing away when we fell, shouting "I feel like a snowflake!! Up and downnnn, up and downnn! HAHA!!!"

Yeah, those were good times huh, and bloody ages ago.

Last weekend I was at Genting with the boyfriend, and it has been uhh lemme see... around 5 years since I been up on the rides? Yeah about that.

As I was telling Lobak, I realised that as my age increases, my balls shrink. guts decrease.

Before going to the theme park, I went to the toilet to pee for about a thousand 10,000 times.

Before going up the Space Shot (it's no longer called the Solero Shot), I said "Uhhh maybe we should go up the Flying Coaster first... eheheh..."

Before going up the Flying Coaster, I said "Uhhh hey look there's the Corkscrew, maybe we should go up that one first... it looks easier, right? hehh hehh..."

Before going up the Corkscrew, I said "Uhhh maybe we should go up the Cyclone first, you know, coz it's smaller and all... huhu.."

Before going up the Cyclone ("Malaysia's 1st Rollercoaster", it says), which is supposed to be child's play, I was wondering if I should go pee first.

All sorts of nonsense!!! -_-

And right before we were strapped onto the Space Shot, I was thinking "Oh crap. I need to shit!" And it didn't help that it felt like it was going to be the messy type. Stupid curry chicken puff.

I silently hoped that I wouldn't crap in my pants, and hoped that the gravity of the fall will push up the crap back into my system in time.

The boyfriend was laughing at every ride while I was screaming like a headless hyena.

I heard of an old couple who, for their 50th anniversary, went to sit on rollercoasters together.

@_@"

Aunty, uncle, I really respect you larr... hehe.


[edits were made because Lobak said I'm liar hahahha]

First post of the year (what a lame title)

I loved Tony Parsons' Man and Boy, but I couldn't bring myself to read the sequel, Man and Wife. Simply because Man and Boy was about a man hitting mid life crisis and making choices that tore his family apart, and how he found new love in a new woman (who wasn't necessarily a bitch either. She was just a new woman) . I don't really want to know more about the new woman :-(

So, I'm almost done with Stories We Could Tell by Tony Parsons now. I have a bittersweet fondness towards his writing, because he is so brutally honest that the truth hurts. But of course, certain happy parts of the truth are always so beautifully told.

I hope this year I will understand men more, because you guys will somehow always remain a mystery. I know we women are complicated, but you guys are just... well......... oh well :-P

Happy 2009!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?


Today I found out that there is a high chance that someone copied my pattern for the pixelated Rolling Stone logo I did for my blog shop awhile back.

Ehh ok la I know the Rolling Stone logo doesn't belong to me, duh, but just that I really painstakingly figured out the mapping of the colours manually on my pegboard. I tried searching online for a pixel pattern of the logo (maybe some nice lady somewhere mapped out a cross stitch pattern of the logo, for example), but coudln't find one. Besides, I would need a really simplified pattern to work on my small square pegboard. So I decided to just figure it out myself loh.


And hey! Today I randomly came across a blogger who said she bought this from another blog shop.


Looks exactly the same rite? But hers terbalik la. Original logo is the other way wan. Hehe.

Pooh.

Ooooer new fetish alert

I noticed my white gladiator heels were getting a bit greyish with dirt. Usually I wear them under my skinny jeans, so no one really notices them.. but I wore it on top of my stirrup black leggings yesterday, and I noticed they looked a bit greyish.

So when I got back home after work, I dug out some old shampoo and a soft bristled brush and started washing the glads.

THEY'RE SO WHITE NOW! Heeee.

Ok think I'm gonna start washing all my heels soon... in fact I'm starting to eye my colleague's ballet flats-- they look a bit smudged. Ooer.

You know there's something horribly wrong with the local music industry when people say...

"We're taking the local music industry to the next level... there are no other entertainers out there that consists of female singers who can sing AND dance and has a backing band playing for them.."

- a certain female singing and dancing trio

Erm hi dearies. Have you been to a pub lately?

"Why do we charge so high compared to KRU? Coz KRU are has-beens already. As for our band, they'll be releasing an album next year."

- a certain record label that rhymes with At Oys

Oh right. And your little band that can't agree doesn't sound like a bad Pearl Jam knock off, no siree. FYI, has-beens or not, KRU is STILL making money-- they've got their foot in music, videos, and movies. And they contributed largely to the R&B and rap sound of our local music industry in the 90s. And what have your bands done? Lets seee... hmmmm oh ya nothing much. Plus, KRU people are actually nice :-)

"Signing up with a label is SELLING OUT! We want to stay indie!!!"

- a certain very talented band that is having one of their rebelious rockstar diva phases

There's a reason why contracts are prepared. Read them. If the deal is bad, then yeah don't take it. If the deal is good (ie you don't have to have a boob job or a Taiwan haircut, you don't have to sing whatever they ask you to sing, etc etc), then yeah why not kan? You still need money to put food on the table kan? Ohhhh you have a vegetable patch. Okay then.

"Support our local music! Save our local music industry!"

- irritating nationalistic people

Kesiannye. Kena support for the sake of being Malaysian, not because the music is good. Aduhai. Camni I pun support Dragon Red la. We Malaysian ma.

-_-

Thank you, Jean

For having me believe in Britney's music. hehehe.

I love this song :-)

Oops.

Okay, forgive me for being an idiot again, but I didn't know Oscar Wilde was gay. I'm not homophobic yah. I'm just oblivious. hahahaha.

I searched for Oscar Wilde's images on Google. Judging by the pictures, I must really be an idiot for not knowing he's gay.

He has fairly nice hair

He has soft features

He likes to pose

He really likes to pose

He wears a cape. And he's not a dracula.

And lastly....



Right. I'm an idiot alright.

Navin has an uncanny sense of observation

"Hi, we're like silver."

Trust Adlin to come up with these type of band names.. hahahha

Dorian Gray

Okay, forgive me for being oblivious, but I picked up The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde to read yesterday, and my eyes went @_@ from page to page because I never knew it was a bisexual and gay themed story.

Then again maybe it's just me, and maybe to other literary students in the world I deserved to be burnt on a stake. "He's not gay, he's art!!!"

@_@

Come on, you gotta admit... Basil's such a sister!!! :-P

Boon is Majik

We just recorded the vocals for Liberated yesterday. Admittedly, sometimes I feel a bit bored with singing my old songs over and over again (Liberated is about 2 years old I think), but, the way Boon arranged it, he actually made me fall in love with the song again.

So therefore, I would like to dedicate a piktur to him. ATKK is so lucky to have you Boon Kok!

Thanks to my mom, dad and my grandpa's liking to double names...

... Jens Lekman replied my email saying that he wished Ching-Ching was his name.

Tee hee hee!

Hurrah mom, dad, ah kong! :D

Anggun

We heard this song on radio the other day and I thought it was funny that some of the backing vocals sound like they're singing softly "Pornstar in the desert... you are, pornstar in the desert..."



Though it reeks of Enigma, blue eyeshadow and circa 90s colour correction, I do like it, I mean the song itself. Hehehe. Especially the synths at the end hehe.

Ironu Kokoruuuuuuu!

Oh my dear Iron Chef, how delighted I was to have seen you on TV tonight!!! Nothing entertains me like the grandeur of your motions, and how you always manage to dub every single line, every laugh, every joke, from Japanese into English!

Tourism Malaysia

One of my favourite projects! This was really nice to work on because we had to produce four songs, each with a different feel, and with a natural song structure (as opposed to song that's painfully tailored to an ad, ie "when the product comes out, bring in the snare roll and the chimes!!"), plus these ads actually have a story. Yay!

Vhy does the zun go on zhining. Vhy does the zea rush to zhore.

Vhy is the coffee machine broken la...

..VHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Drama Mama

Lots of drama going on here. Interestinggggg. Nice to see so much activity.

It's ok Kit. We know what we did :-)

Creating a platform for small bands to perform, trying to get bigger bands to attract the crowd, coming up with door gifts to attract the crowd, not taking a profit but instead split the door collections fairly among the bands (we were practically charity... because if we insisted on making profit, the bands would not be paid fairly for their performance), and we paid the bands honestly, fairly, and ON TIME. Just ask any of the bands that played a Fireflies gig.

Why didn't we take any profit? Because we knew we were small. Finding a balance between taking profits and paying the bands fairly was difficult, because we know if we charged more than RM12 for a gig, people wouldn't attend, as the most passionate fans are mostly school kids. So we sacrificed our profit.

Anyway, that thread on junkonline is a perfect case study of the world (or at least parts of it). The ones with the money have bad intentions, and the ones with good intentions have no money.

Thennn there's the childish people. Kamonnn la. That's so low, it's getting ticklish. Heheh.
