well. i've moved for good! just felt like changing.

go!

501

2006-08-14T15:07:00.000+08:00

oooh. ok. so i wanna move, but i'm too lazy to do so.

i replayed the presentation i recorded with shan(its so hard to just type his name without any accompanying adjectives) and i think... i shldnt have replayed it.

and then.. its the holidays! its really weird without any work to do after the mad rush that we had. but im kinda enjoying doing nothing at home. and! i finally played some stuff after 2 whole full weeks of not practising at all.

i was reading the script that we're gonna use for the dv fest and... it's quite exciting! i wonder how much all of us are going to fork out for it. we're going to hold auditions but im really worried about getting the releases for one of our locations..

other than that,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

fucking fuck you sial kepala buto puki. stunn.

2006-08-10T21:39:00.001+08:00

the reason why i would wanna change is that. this is my 500th post in blogspot. just a year ago, the way i wrote my posts differ greatly from the way i write it now. even worse from 2 years ago. i think it's high time i change. but if im still too lazy to do a nice one in livejournal(i like the comment system.) then you can still find me here.

after all this. i plan to get a full body massage from my dad. get a job maybe with picky. i'll be taking up my license, shamefully my parents will be paying for me. work enough to get rid of this really no-longer-trustworthy machine and get a new one.

summertime?

2006-08-07T22:53:00.000+08:00

im gonna change blogs soon. i'll tell you guys later. wanna guess? haha.. ok anyway!

today. we made selene cry. because no one believed that she really really really really does have a boyfried. like.. really have one. and no one believed her. even when we believe her, she believes that no one does.

ALMOST the whole of mcm 2.2 (ok, over exaggeration there) did their work in school even when there was no school. cool eh? all of us so hard working to avoid bad peer evaluation. haha. some of us working hard by doing nothing to prove to some idiots that we're not as useless as they think we are behind their double layered questions and silent innuendos.

hhmmm. i was thinking.

of nothing.

then i remembered. i think im lucky my eyes get tired very easily. cos after 15 mins of literally staring into the screen my eyes will start to .erm. squeeze or strain or shrink and it's like some auto timer for me to look away from the screen. thats why i dont need to wear specs! then again. maybe its my genes.

ok go here we go

2006-08-06T10:03:00.000+08:00

the guy in hot pink pants ALMOST fell. and i liked when they did the 360 rotation. cool ah.

this is dormant. alwayssssssss.

2006-08-05T01:18:00.000+08:00

somehow, even though the onslaught of newswriting AND public relations caught up with me today. i'm very happy. for a number of reasons. one of which is actually quite sad.

i interviewed a guy who was really sad about his situation, and as much as he tried to stay calm and collected, it's quite hard when things are beyond your control and you have to explain your situation to reporters. and there was the off the record bit which i wish we can use. but.

finally, i feel the rush of doing work. and i really want to do it, and i know i can do it. cleared the whole of my weekend (cept for that fmss meeting, which is now a MUST HAVE) and i have one idiotic idiot of the highest order to thank. his condescending questions and remarks won't just go through me just like that, ok.

and! of course la. sarah's gift was like.. waaaaaaah. i can just stare at it all day long when i have nothing to do (in a week's time) and just listen to astreal's june 12. i think.. i'll write about it again soon. for now. eat and sleep!

i dont like.

2006-08-03T20:09:00.000+08:00

EH! like, wtf. whaaaat is up with the gloves? evvverrrryyy single show she wears that glove. like.. over ah. i bet she never washes it at all ah. banyak punye rocker.

I Don't Know What I Can Save You From [Röyksopp Remix]

2006-08-02T01:30:00.000+08:00

5 presentations on monday and that was quite tiring. at one point i felt like some boring engineering lecturer and only danny boey was listening to me mumble.
"i think you've got the makings of a great lecturer, heikal" (ok maybe not exact quote).

but today, we went around and i bought a CD and the person over the counter did something and i asked why.
"huh? oh i just felt like doing it for you." (maybe not exact quote also)

guess what she did for me!

pyrats

2006-07-29T17:53:00.000+08:00

quite interesting. but the female pirate caught my eye. i'm sure you noticed too.

reminder.

2006-07-28T22:07:00.000+08:00

so i've been saying how fucking boring life is for the past week or so. and how i've not no motivation to do work. none at all.

then so my harddrive crashes. not really a big deal ah.not much work to do. yeeeeeaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!! now, i've got what i wanted. a whole load of work all lined up to be cleared over the weekend. so, again, i can't go and watch the short cuts AND pow wow.

good:
new hard drive means that my laptop has so far gotten a new keyboard, new mother board and new hard drive. its gonna be a practically new laptop if i manage to replace the casing and screen.

good that the technician guy simply replaced the hard drive just like that. no checking of what's inside the harddrive. i think some of you know why i dont really want him to see what's inside. haha.

bad:
ALL MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE. which is super irritating cos i really liked my current bookmarks. all the film and music and stumble upon sites were bookmarked. and there wasnt much blogs compared to my last few collections. now i have to go and harvest a new bookmark and this time i'll upload it online.

every single fucking thing is gone. from all the fmss documents and interview transcripts and all my work from this sem to my coldplay pictures.

my las vegas season 3 is gone also. nvm nvm maybe i'll be getting family guy season four from dan tmr.

i should learn to back my work up in my giant hard drive and not use it just for crap.

oh i did say there's alot of work to do right? yea, there's horrendously alot of marcomm to do for the 100th day event (which is still on ah by the way.. been hearing stuff that its cancelled already) and there's newswriting!

i heart newswriting.

oh! quite interesting ah to see the email.. quite surprised.

soursop.

2006-07-25T20:08:00.000+08:00

sia la. funfair siollll. they're burning the sticks and papers like there's no tommorrow. makes you wonder if the after-life people have bank accounts up there. i kinda miss watching those chinese/hongkong serials in the kung-fu hustle period with all those police and thieves and sometimes ghosts searching for their lost loved ones..

but anyway! like its everywhereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. wonder why the romantic candle idiot didnt wait another day to do his magic fire show. stupid right. if he did it today, no one would have given a fuck.

anyways, today was the last day of my favourite lecture. how sad. i want to jump down and break a leg. sob sob sob.

s.o.b.

films.

2006-07-23T21:55:00.000+08:00

According to the DVD commentary, Eli is based on writer/director Eli Roth. Playboy models appeared in the movie: Sung Hi Lee and Karen McDougal, and originally both Brianna Banks and Jenna Jameson were slated to appear in this film.

sounds exciting. but really. i think this movie was a waste of my night a few nights ago. had your typical teen comedy elements of sex, high school settings, hot chicks, a cross state adventure with tables being smashed and the main character being chased along with their loser sidekicks and a story that ends well in no particular order.
but i think i enjoyed it abit.

there's an idiot trying to be romantic by lighting up candles behind the letter boxes for the past 10 mins. i think he is stupid because.
he should have laid out all the candles before lighting up the girl's name and half of the heart.
now half of the heart and the girls name will be half melted when the girl comes.
he should not have done it infront of so many windows - because i can just throw a pail of water and spoil his night.
he should not have done it behind the letter boxes. because if the letters get burnt (somehow..) its his fault.
i bet he wont be there later to clean the mess up.

ooh! he's calling the girl to come down now. i think. i hope it rains in awhile. or maybe the neighbourhood cats can come over and pee all over his candles.

aww the wind is blowing away his heart...
aww he just burnt his finger trying to relight his heart.

if only battlefield has a flamethrower...

aww the girl came down and now they're hugging and kissing..shit they wall is blocking me!!!

HAHHAHAHA!!! some ass hole (not me) called in the police ! hahahaha. its hillarious!
hahahahahaha... well at least the girl is helping him clean up.. even the police are laughing. hahaha. imagine they take him in for vandalism or something. haha. its quite funny la..

my neighbourhood quite happening ah. eh.. the girl dissappear already. well, thats something to bring up when they're doing their break-up arguement.

secrets.

2006-07-20T13:36:00.000+08:00

In conclusion, families in 12 Storeys all harbor secrets one way or another. More pertinent is the film’s portrayal of the ways secrets, whether personal or household ones, are managed, along with disclosure, discovery and/or concealment. Secrets can adversely impact communication within families and contribute to dysfunctional relations among parents, spouses, children, siblings and neighbors. For Khoo, such widespread, persistent communicational dysfunction within families, between neighbors and among individuals points to a larger level of urban isolation and alienation. These motifs in his films attack the Shared Values national ideology and other state discourses.

In 12 Storeys and Khoo’s other early films, the neighbors avoid each other; the nation-state has not fostered mutual community support and respect for individuals. Individuals in turn are too engrossed with their own secrets to take notice of the world around them or to forge meaningful relations with others, within and/or outside the familial domain. Khoo’s early films create analogies to trace the disparity between the visionary endeavors articulated from the top and the reality of daily doldrums that anchor the everyday people firmly to the ground. By giving privy to the “lived” reality of HDB-dwellers who experience endemic urban alienation, 12 Storeys presents an alternative, albeit gloomy, way of seeing the nation-state: It is a sunny tropical isle high on economic achievements but low on other endeavors, especially human(istic) ones. The alterity of Khoo’s early films bears the mark of an honest and bold filmmaker.

Awesome video of a crazy busy intersection in India with no stoplights. Greatness.

2006-07-15T02:58:00.000+08:00

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and my parents love me!!!!!!!!!
oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and my girlfriend loves me!!!!!!!!!!!!

poptart was fun! just that they didnt play EDILYL&L but they played other kaiser chiefs and more bloc parteyyyyy. just as i thought the 1st day of baybeats was gonna suuccccck.

i also thought that muse's latest black holes and revelations album was gonna suck, i now think its worth every single cent the 11 track cd is gonna cost me.

but i'm still skipping day 2 of baybeats. because its not worth the energy. speaking of energy! its 3am and i just realised the only solid food that has gone trhough me was the 4 hotdogs, 2 eggs & 4 toast that i had at 5pm. faux english breakfast for pre-dinner.

and i survived a super small mosh - i tell you the security there is super boring. you might as well bring a fuckin book on sunday, sit infront of astreal and lunarin and read 6 chapters through their sets. and fizah's favourite you-know-who is playing after etc. i do hope that etc makes it a tough act to follow.

like today's tiramisu's drag queen theme made KL's fern look horrible. i still got poptart in my body!

aaaHHAAAHHHHHH.la la la la la laaaa.. oOOOooooooOOOOhhh AAAAAAAAAaaAAAAAAHh!!! I PREDICT A RIOT! I PREDICT A RIOT! X2
blablablablabla....

oh! i failed my webD because i left one of the pages as blablabla. but i did well for radio! so life goes on really.

i'm quite happy nowadays. but somethings like fmss are really making my hair grow long and dry. can you imagine 4fuckingthousanddollars for the whole of this year to plan so many fucking events and we might as well scrape all our plans and build fmss for our predecessors to do well in. no thanks to our seniors, who did nothing for the school in the past, we can forget about asking for much money, if any. and thanks to everrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyoneeeeeeee who was duped into believing we had enough money to open a prata stall with our own dedicated sugarcane and teh peng/ teh tarik bussorrah street corner downtown. and i dont just mean our favourite kenneth ok.

that is all for this semester! i've waited quite long to shoot my mouth, and i can actually talk alot about the reactions all around. but thats for me to know!

what was in store for me thanks to fate or serendipity (not kidding k, but im gonna spare you the small details). on the bus home, i met.. erm.. apa nama dia.. nadia i think.. and she woke me up cos i took up too much of her space. but i think we talked for an hour or so.. from great spy experiment to travelling to SIM and back on adult cost sucks big time.

but im super hungry, and poptart is slowly going off..

all that noise, all that sound.

2006-07-12T23:37:00.000+08:00

Lets play spot Tony, Ash(abit difficult ah..), May's tall friend and side profile of ME!
(remember where's wally?)
(pict isn't mine)

and the travesty! have you seen today's Life section in the straits times?
horrendous! can you believe that they actually placed a 3-400 word (ONLY?!!) review of THE CONCERT OF THE YEAR on top of some fucked up "emperor of rock" china band preview- which was ALSO 3-400 words. i mean, if it was a short write up of robbie's coming concert, it'd prolly make sense (most prolly not though.)

justice has not been served to chris, will, johnny and guy. coldplay deserves the whole of life's back page. not just 1 fuckin quater of it. at least it was sujin thomas doing the report. (i know im abit anal, but its quite fun to be anal and analyse things here and there.)

actually ah. hahhaa. our videos and pictures beats all those on youtube hands down. haha. if afiq had recorded more, i'd prolly be able to compile them and make a music vid out of it. oh! pictures from the last post were taken by may and afiq. forgot to give them credit.

you ok?

2006-07-11T00:11:00.000+08:00

yay to may! ashley! tony! afiq! and even claire!
my new coldplay loving bestfriends... hahaha. now this merits a bimbo post. and a long one.
you can skip my version of the night and just read this guy's review of the twisted logic tour (in which they never played twisted logic, nor don't panic - my current fave).

awsome! i don't really know where to start. so i'll tell you every single thing that happened. the more important ones worth jumping, or made me jump for at least. haha! i'll neverrrr everrrrrrrr everrrrrrr forget this concert.

reached the queue at 3pm and after mistaking the front of the line for the back of it, i think i ended up being the 20th or 30th in line. waited in excitement with all the sound checks going on! thuddings of will's drums was sooo exciting. listening to them doing a full song (a few only) sound check was also exciting. then being in the 1st batch of coldplay loverrrrrsssss to enter the hall was also exciting. what was also exciting was waiting for the idiots in the seats to come in slowly and the show started only at 9pm.

of course, we got into the indoor stadium at 7.30.. at 8pm.. i smartly got the rest of us to stand up (they made us sit while waiting for the rest) then everysingle one in the free standing area also stood. thats when the mini nudging free for all began.. but i felt quite bad blocking the small indonesian girls (they were really small.. and they really wanted to see the stage). all these wldnt have happened if i just continued sitting down.

but anyways! chris' stage antics was quite exciting also! everrryyything was exciting. but i also felt bad/good(more bad than good, but you'll know why soon) abt the girl who was stuck in front of me the whole night. and also the bastard behind me who kept pushing forward, and the lady beside him who warmed up after awhile. and the small indonesian girls who never stopped pushing, even when i pushed them infront of me so they'd stop pushing me.

and the many times chris asked if we're ok, of course la we're ok. even if my crotch is perpetually stuck to the butt of the girl infront of me and the small girl beside me rubbing her hair on my arm and the guy behind me shoving (pushed turned to shoving after awhile, all in good nature so no worries) and how much hair shampoo im breathing in just for having so many hairs at my nose and not forgetting the number of times i had to brush whose ever's hair for them because my hand got tangled in them quite a few times. and the fact that the show was near carbon copy material of the other live twisted logic concerts all made us shout OK! when he asked.

oh! tony caught one of the disposable cameras he threw! SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhahaha.. phewwwwwwwwwww. oh! and i got the girl's email, so its ok. proper explanation awaits. every single $230 spent on the concert was worth forking out for. i'm glad to go broke for the next few days (weeks abit long ah beb..) and yes, to some of my friends, i'd rather spend nearly 300$ on gigs and going abroad than on stupid magnetic mattreses or pillows.

i'll be honest, i really got sick of listening to coldplay for the last 5 days. but after tonight, hahhaa.. nothing else will be going into my ipod. for awhile at least. maybe more live coldplay clips, and that johnny cash's ring of fire. and that one- off MTF-ish song he sang in between..

sigh. the whole set was nicely timed, you have no idea how tired the people on the ground was. jumping and jumping and screeeeaaaamingggg and clapping and swaying and putting my arms around people i was clueless about.

oh yea! that bastard behind me. i have no idea what he was up to. he slowly crept up behind me. then pushed a few times. then told me to enjoy it. hahha.. that's why im calling him the bastard. as long as it brought me closer to chris martin! haha.

oh! we were only 2 rows behind the railings, but by the end of the night, i have no idea how many girls crept up infront of me without me knowing.

met up with the other indonesian girl we met while queing and her girlfriend and her two brothers outside after the whole thing ended. oh! also met erm.. .. crystal! and shaun!

now, what the fuck did i go home so early for?

the heart's a lonely hunter.

the geylang massacre

2006-07-06T01:35:00.000+08:00

just as i said i won't be blogging for awhile, i come up with a post the very next day.

but only because i want to say that the perth screening was not a waste of time even though i still have a newsangle to think about. because meeting up with everyone i met today, like the producer, the soundscapist, the dop, the art director, sunny pang and adam habib and sharon ismail.

and we got the many dirty little secrets about perth from andy the art director after the whole thing and he's quite a funny guy. like how djinn(the director) told a street casted actor to 'be like a tiger' during one of the fight scenes and the guy literally went, "roarrrrrr, roarrrrr". and juan foo, the producer and an ex-fsv lecturer teaching a now-defunct module for budding producers, is pretty receptive to our sgNewwave idea. ada potential!

chatting and chatting with all the different people till quite late, i wonder if they are just there talking because it's their job or because they really wanted to share us their stories because we kept them there for quite late.

but whatever it is, perth's my 1st violent local feature film (i don't consider 15 violent, cos i didnt squirm or jerk during the film). and it was good.

death & glitter.

2006-07-04T23:32:00.000+08:00

i'm waiting for my groupmates to come online to pass me whatever material they've been able to conjure up during break time today. and its so late already i wonder if they're trying to pull of some kind of stunt.

had quite a weird day today. press conference was a total waste of a bore. i have no idea what im gonna write about. and we can count the hours that newswriting is due. and the 100th day issue has gotten to some of us already. but the amount of money with have in our fms account is near obscene. and we'll be getting the money for the vid journ competition prizes by next week hopefully. after 100th day, will be the MTV awards gig. i have no idea if we should be looking forward to it even after the super protracted venue decision.

and lets just say that irritance does get to everyone, no matter who you are. one time too many!

i can feel the assignments quickly moving into 4th gear (or 5th or 6th if you're driving a fast vehicle). but there's still time for play! coldplay next week! yay. the nano will be full of all the coldplay i have in my collection. i didnt get the last single though. wonder if hmv can bring in singles..

ahh. seeing that this will be the lone post for a long time,

If you comment on this post:
1. i’ll respond with something random about you

2006-06-30T12:20:00.000+08:00

i am screeewwwwwwwwwwweeedddd. my laptop's crashed and i have no desktop/laptop to start on my press conference research, or do the press conference article. and i have nothing to surf the net with. and i have nothing to watch all my shows with over the weekend.
and IBM has no stock of the replacement part that i need and i have to wait till monday to see if the shipment has arrived.

and they don't have any temp laptop to spare. bitches.

LIFE SUCKS!!!!!!! haha. at least i'm not in the middle of an apple project or something like that..

the new way.

2006-06-26T22:28:00.000+08:00

as said by ms chittick herself, astreal's soon to be released MV. to premier on MTV asia soon..

and i am in no mood at all to return to school tmr. the sls retreat came at the most perfect of times. not too early to lose the relaxed vibes, not too late to carry over any holiday hangovers to school. you get that sometimes, when you spend too much time on holiday, you're bound to miss the different atmosphere/culture/mood/time zone/food/hostel/hotel/taxis & busses/people from the break.

oh, unlike most, i dont think i have any cravings for junk food. except for the occasional ice cream. i dont think i have any craving for anything in fact. i just eat whatever there is. hahaha..

but the troubles of 100th day will be carried over nonetheless.

jengjengjeng!

2006-06-25T02:14:00.000+08:00

countdown to coldplay.

time to memorize all the lyrics and make sure i dont sing wrongly there.

this is nothing new.

2006-06-24T19:37:00.000+08:00

it was just like some weekend get away. with the whole night to ourselves on friday and saturday left with just the presentations. wacky new found friends and free buffet all day. fun fun fun!
the blankets were super plush, pillows not too soft nor too hard and the whole bed was so freaking big. you can almost forget what you're there for. almost.

and then i just realised that i gave my wrong email to all of them. now i won't have any of them on my msn. so so sad!
