The end of A FINE FRENZY

a fine frenzy copy

Yes, I've finally got a warning to not use the trademarked name of the AWESOME Alison Sudol. I really like her music! Didn't mean any harm. I knew it'd probably get my blog deleted or something for using her super cool trademarked name haha.

So here it is:

meh

Oh well.

*sings Almost Lover (well, ALMOST, Almost Lover).*

Goodbye~~~ my almost blog name~~~ Goodbye my hopeless dream~~~
I'm trying not to think about you~~~
Can't you just let me be~~~

So long~~~ my luckless attempt~~~ My back is turned on you~~~
Should have know you'd bring me a lawsuit (thank god this didn't happen! haha)~~~
Almost blog names always do~~~

P.S: If you wanna listen to the original song ALMOST LOVER by A FINE FRENZY, please click the >> button on the green casette player at the top of this blog page. Ok? :3

Of Cheap Books & Cheap Food & All Things Cheap.

Hooo went to KLCC with my little brother, Dila & Mai mai today. 

Didn't do nothing much, went for 'Aliens VS. Monsters' in 3D with my lil' bro while Mai mai & Dila watched 'Angels & Demons'. First time I've ever watched a 3D movie, the pricey tickets aside it was pretty cool. Adi had the time of his life, heh.

Shopped for cheap books in Kinokuniya, cheap CDs & cheap clothes in Isetan (Well, mai bought a blouse. That counts right?) and ate cheap food at the food court. On second thought, no. McD is rather pricey.

Other than that nothing interesting happened, just had a great time hanging out with my favourite people :)

Oh yeah, the trip back in the train is HELL (as usual). I just feel the need to mention this. Hah.

Lalala pictures~ pictures~

Dila & Adi
Dila & Adi

Haha Adi was so proud that he bought the apple pie from McD all by himself.

Mai mai haha
Mai mai. She's a total cam whore. (Shocking isn't it? But yes, she IS).

me haha
Me. Haha.

Okay that's all for today. I'm beat. Am gonna hit the sack early.

Oh wait wait, did I mention that I love McD's chocolate Sundae? No? I love McD's chocolate sundae. There, done.

Teleng must die.

I'm disturbed. Ignore me.

Goldilocks

Yay~ Got to hang out with Dila and Mai earlier this afternoon. 

Hehee Mai mai looked kinda funny with her super short hairdo (FYI, she cut it herself. Yeah, she's weird). We looked at a bunch of her school pics and a very uh, 'flattering' poem titled PILOT Mai mai got from an admirer. To my dismay, there's a mention of Teleng in it. Yeah, I'm sensi (ugh, hate that word.) when it comes to that, that, well him. Anyway, overall the poem was downright hilarious. 

What else? Oh yeah. Dila is a full fledged OTAKU now. It's a teency bit disturbing but hey, I'm a freaking Arch Angel. So, yeah. We're a bunch of freaks. Cheers. 

Now let's see....Ah! yes, of course. We saw Goldilocks. She was hiding under the car, didn't get to touch her. Goldy seemed pretty skinny, small-ish and uh, her face WAS kinda crooked. Haha.
All in all we had a great time.

We're going out for movies tomorrow. I hope UP will be out. I really wanna watch it~

up-movie

SCABIUS

Called Mai mai just now. Glad that she's been doing awesome. Am hoping to hang out with her and Dila tomorrow. I really really wanna see Goldilocks (Dila's new ginger persian cat with a crooked face. Well she says so anyway).

Onwards to the main purpose of this post.

Dominique


SPRING IS COMING
 
Spring is coming,
Spring, a promise of life,  
The neverending cycle,  
Of nature’s dance.  

Spring is coming,  
Breaking the monotony of blank whiteness,
Salvation of diminished dreams,  
Blooming from the ashes.  

Last cold breath,  
Away with death,  
In a flurry of colours,  
The earth is reincarnated.  

Broken bones,  
Faint traces of the past,  
Let go and smile,  
Spring is coming.  

(SCABIUS– Sage)

The drawing is by my dear friend Dila which she based off from 'Dominique' the protagonist of a short story I wrote titled 'Flower Boy'.  While the song is an excerpt from 'Flower Boy' by Sage of the band SCABIUS (They're fictional of course). Both of these pieces were done in 2007. 

I was thinking of my friends and felt like posting these. By the way, Dila is like, the MOST talented person I've ever known in my life. She actually drew a manga version of 'Flower Boy' but it's still not done yet. We put the project on hold because we had to focus on our SPM. Haha it's actually 90% done already. I'm gonna have to make more effort and help her with it.

So, check out her DeviantArt:

BEE TREE

Fwuh, I just finished this. My dad made me do it for his presentation.

It basically shows prey-predator relationship between the apis dorsata (giant honey bee) and its predators :-/

Well okay then, let's play a game :D Find these and you'll get a cookie (an imaginary one, duh).

1 Honey buzzard.
1 Tualang tree.
15 Bee nests.
Lots of bees.
13 Bee eaters.
1 Sun bear.
1 Flying squirrel.
1 Kingfisher.
1 Black thighed falconet.
1 Bee hunter dude.

I'm lame, ignore me.

Headless Roaches.

Roaches freak me out. Period.

HEADLESS ROACHES

Six legged monster,
In shiny brown armour,
Voiceless little creepers,
They make me cower.

Broken legs,
Or even headless,
Tough little creepers,
They scare me witless.

Nuclear radiations,
Or even starvation,
Hardy little creepers,
My source of irritation.

Creepy little crawlies,
Sometimes they even fly,
Menacing they'll appear to me,
I'd wish one of us'll die.

Urgh. I have no idea why I just wrote a poem with four freaking quatrains about roaches. Thought it might have something to do with the stupid roach that kept me up last night. 

Anyways, Do you know that roaches can survive 9 friggin' DAYS headless? That they can survive months without any food? or make a living by consuming ONLY postage stamp glue? and that it is a popular theory that roaches will inherit the world if a nuclear war is to happen and mankind goes extinct, because roaches can stand radiation better than humans?

Bet you don't. They're the worst pests on planet earth I tell you. I say earth because there might be mutant roaches out there you know. They're hardy, they probably can survive on a barren planet somewhere in the galaxy...

Constellations In The Dark.

Hmm, since blogs are supposed to be a sort of online diary, No? I think it's only appropriate that I post something of that kind. So, I shall enlighten you (Yeah, you) with my candak sotong (squid fishing) trip to Marang, K.Terengganu on 16th May 2009.

16th May was a Saturday. Dad rented a fishing boat (RM400) through a friend of his whom did not only provide a fishing boat, but also a posse of fishermen to help us 'candak' some squids. In total there were about 15 of us. Now, it might sound like it was crowded but not really. Surprisingly the fishing boat wasn't crowded at all.

I shan't describe what the boat looks like but here, have some pics:
kapal

Mom, my brothers and the really nice fisherman dude. He talked a lot but due to his accent I barely understood a word.

We (Me, my younger & elder brother and my parents) boarded the boat at around 5PM. Everyone was feeling kinda dozy due to the 7 hour road trip to get there. Yeah. But after we got onto the boat it was quite fantastic. With the wind blowing in your face constantly it was very refreshing. At first at least. The fishing boat was real slow, it took us 2 hours to arrive to the 1st fishing spot which is only 9km away from the jetty. I think I dozed off a couple times.

uhmm 256

The view was pretty wicked. The sky and the ocean stretched endlessly into the horizon. When the sun started to set, the greenish blue sea water turned into liquid gold. See, throughout the whole trip what fascinated me the most (besides watching the squid change colours as they die), is how the ocean changed colour in different light. Before the sun set, the ocean was greenish blue but if you look a little further it looked pretty silverish. Later on when it was dark, they looked like shadows racing along with the boat. Almost velvety it looked pretty darn solid!

Okay, enough of that. 'Candak' sotong. It was simple really, almost mindless but I could be wrong. See, all that was needed is a really long piece of uh, hm. I think it's a fishing line, with bait at the end of it. That's all.

As for methods. You just chuck it into the sea, lower it till you feel the bait hit the sea bed then retract the line a metre or so. Then you just jerk the line at 3 second intervals until a squid takes your bait. That's pretty much it really but I didn't catch a single squid so I could've done something wrong. But hey, seriously, that's all you gotta do. I probably had bad luck, I think.

uhmm 278
Dad and his first catch :)

uhmm 284
He got the first squid of the night.


MOM - 3 squids
DAD - 1 squid
LIL' BRO - 2 squids
Older BRO - uh, a tentacle. The squid ripped its tentacle off and got away.
ME - 0. Yeah, nil.
FISHERMEN - A lot of squids.

TOTAL: Roughly around 30 squids.

One of the fishermen, a skinny dude with scragly hair dressed in a pair of tattered jeans and a denim vest (yeah he didn't have a shirt on) cooked some rice and squids. The squids were washed with sea water and barbequed. Oddly enough without any seasoning whatsoever the squid tasted really good. Kinda sweetish. I suppose the fruits of mother nature is at its best when they're fresh. Besides squid there were a couple of sword fishes around 3 metres long (they were HUGE!) that surfaced near the boat. They were attracted to the spotlights on the fishing boat. They had bright blue stripes that kind of glowed in the dark!

Now, let's get to my favourite part. We were at sea until 2AM. It was tiring as heck. My fav part is the journey back to the jetty. The fishermen turned off the spotlights and we were thrown into darkness. As I've mentioned before the ocean seemed like racing shadows and that got me pretty darn excited. But then, I looked up. The sky was a sight to behold. Stars FILLED the sky. I was practically in a trance. The stars twinkled with varying brightness painting the velvety darkness into a 3D picture. The brighter stars seemed nearer while the dimmer ones a litte further.

Living in a city all my life I've never seen anything as beautiful as the star filled sky. It was a magical moment that I got to share with my loved ones. A moment I shall forever remember. The only regrettable thing is that I didn't get to snap a picture because the boat was moving and it's just impossible to let the shutter soak in enough light (which takes time).

A beginning of sorts.

Greetings world,

In an attempt to bring back some significance to my otherwise meanigless life (No, I don't meant that. Not really) I've decided to start a blog of my own.

Hmm, let's commemorate this new beginning with a poem:

CIRCUMSTANCES

I had a purpose, 
I had a dream, 
To be successful, 
A life that is meaningful.  

I had ambitions, 
I had aspirations, 
To reach for the sky,
To soar up high. 

Perhaps it is not meant to be, 
Circumstances are against me, 
Pitiful and pathetic, 
Wasn’t what I wanted to be.  

My dreams in ruins, 
I am disheartened, 
A shell of what I was, 
A disgrace to myself.  

Never would’ve forsee, 
This consuming misery, 
To be so bitter, 
I deserve better.  

Crying my hopes away, 
No longer a part of me, 
The fleeting memory, 
Of whom I used to be.  

13th May 2009



Yes, yes. Unfortunately I AM one of those people who write depressing poetry when they're, well, depressed and shamelessly put it up for the world to see. There's nothing quite like baring your wounds to the world whilst hiding your identity. Not that it's exhilirating  or anything of the sort. I suppose it's kind of like moaning in public, except that you're invisible. Everyone can hear you but then can't see you. Ah, the hypocrisy of it. I am pitiful.

I made this blog so that I can indulge myself. Indeed, that is what I aim to achieve. 

SELF SATISFACTION.

I'm very much satisfied at the moment.

Goodbye all.
