So Long & Good Night

No, I don't like MCR. As a matter of fact I despise them. Yes, I'm feeling touchy.

This is my last post before I embark into a new chapter of my life. College life. I've packed my things, bade goodbye to my pets & Roger on TV, kissed my wifi goodbye, cleaned up my laptop, stocked up my ipod, threw a tantrum & am now prepared. Sort of.

I put this in my iPod................ T . T Roger~

I shall now turn my back on my previous life of perpetual procrastination & melt into the darkness (like Roger in the commercial above) of college life. Ahaha~

CARPE DIEM

Last night, I had the pleasure of watching a 1989 film titled DEAD POETS SOCIETY. Truly an awe-inspiring masterpiece. This multiple award winning film is set in 1959 at a conservative and aristocratic boys prep school, it tells the story of an English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams) who inspires his students to change their lives of conformity through his teaching of poetry and literature. This film is a modern interpretation of the transcendentalist movement.

I confess, I watched the movie simply because I knew that Robert Sean Leonard (a.k.a Wilson of HOUSE MD) is in it. Robert Sean Leonard plays one of John Keating's students, Neil Perry. I did not expect to be moved and inspired by the themes presented in the DEAD POETS SOCIETY. I love the extensive contradictions between romanticism and realism throughout the film. To put it simply, I believe that the concept of 'Carpe diem' which is a latin term meaning 'Seize the Day' that John Keating (Robin Williams) taught his class, if exercised correctly is actually a positive notion.

I shall say no more. To give away plot lines of this wonderful film should be a crime ;) Dear, reader, if you haven't watch DEAD POETS SOCIETY , please do. You can find it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vK9FDLaqHg or you can download the whole movie with Ares.

Before I end this I would like to post a poem that I penned immediately after watching the film. Believe me, the film is truly, very inspiring indeed.

I seek what most men seek,

A means of living to sustain life,

A reason to live, for being alive,

For nought is triumphant without motivation.

This fleeting journey is flashing past,

Some go about it timidly, some boldly,

I've chosen what I deemed practical,

To be rid off off poverty, to live righteously.

My beliefs in tune with my aspirations,

It has always been what I dreamt of achieving,

A balance between abstaining and succumbing to temptations,

To believe in romanticism yet be grounded by religion.

I've chosen what I deemed essential,

A career driven not by passion,

But a career to drive my passion,

The ultimate tool for my future endeavours.

I wish to reach out to the world,

To assist in charitable acts that glorify mankind,

To achieve Immortality through philantropy,

To taste the satisfactions of an unsung hero.

Thus I shall not wait around,

With my own two hands, I shall and I will,

'Sieze the day' as they flit past,

This is my testimonial to the world.

Carpe diem!

Birthday Kak Ema :)

The Wilson Song

This is HILARIOUS. Some seriously fun stuff.

BWAHAHA :D

Heeeeeeeeee~ What a fun song. I can listen to that all day~ Okie dokie. Onwards to the main reason of this post. It's quite epic actually. So, be prepared. *drum rolls*

Songs Performed By Robert Sean Leonard

1. Robert Sean Leonard - Promising

http://www.mediafire.com/?e14mkfmeyji

2. Robert Sean Leonard - Softly and tenderly

http://www.mediafire.com/?4tn425j43mw

3. Robert Sean Leonard - The lonely one

http://www.mediafire.com/?behqh02mtt2

I recommend downloading No.3 - The Lonely One first. Heh. It is cute as heck. Epicly so too. Robert can't sing. HAHAHA yeah! He can't. Well, it's not off tune or anything. Just that, he sounds like he's reading instead of singing. Barely melodious. CUTE.

On the other hand, Hugh Laurie is a MUSICIAN! Unlike Robert, he can sing. Sort of anyway :P

Lovely eyh? Yes, of course.

As for your "Why, Wilson?" inquiry, Mai. Here:

Yes, WILSON belongs to US. "YOU CAN'T STOP OUR LOVE!" , Mai.

(Just look at cover boy~ Oh la la~)

:D

Yesssssss I can always count on David to make me smile. (LOL how corny is that? :P). Anyways, thanks Munirah for gettin' the mag for me. Hehe...she was even wearing the AAM(Archuleta Avenue Malaysia) Tee Shirt (Which I DESIGNED BTW!) when I dispatched her~

Haha. For those of you who haven't seen the awesome tee. Click HERE!

David Archuleta himself owns one of the tee's. Hehe. AAM fansite admins gave one to David during his short stay in Malaysia (8th APRIL 2009 - 12th APRIL 2009).

VISIT AAM: http://archuletavenue.wordpress.com/

and don't forget to get the mag at a store near you ;) !

Things That Keeps Me SANE.

(Yes. David Archuleta keeps me sane. Besides he cheers this whiny post up :D)

I'm going to college next week. 28th of JUNE 2009 which is a Sunday to be precise. Am feeling the blues approaching. Things are worst for one of my best friends though. I'm not complaining, just feel the need to whine. Childish & spoilt I am.

Things are gonna be tough. I feel like listing the things I'll miss:

1. My lil bro, ADI. My parents. (I'm a such a baby D:)

2. My room/air cond. (I'm spoilt)

3. My pet cat, Fluffy.

4. My PIANO. AUGHHHHHH....NOOOOO.

5. TIME to indulge in stuff I like. (a.k.a time to procrastinate).

6. TV: LIVE Tennis/HOUSE/Mythbusters/Man VS. Wild 3/Cartoons.

7. Kak Ema. My maid. (She does everything. Again, I'm SPOILT)

Pretty much EVERYTHING that I have now. But really my piano (NO.4). It keeps me sane. Helps me destress. I need it. NEED it. Okay, I'm exagerrating. But without NO.1,2,3,5,6 & 7......I don't know how the HECK I'm gonna cope without NO.4!

As for NO.6 ...ROGERRRR AUGH. ROGER, WIMBLEDON, ROGER, WIMBLEDON, ROGERRRRR. ROGERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*ahem*

Thank god, I've finished watching HOUSE. Thanks a MILLION Mai for giving me the episodes!

I may be childish but I'm not stupid. I've been granted a scholarship (alhamdulillah) to STUDY. I've been given the means to achieve what I aim to be, a DENTIST. Which will be a career that shall define me & my life. To be SUCESSFUL has always been what I wanted. I'm determined.

But just for a moment. I'd like to whine.

I'm in a freaking mag!

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH. Gosh I can't stop laughing. Like, DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I'm in a freaking INDONESIAN Magazine! Under some column called 'Most Fanatic David Archuleta Fan' or something! 8D

See? I drew hearts around David & myself :P Bwahahah.

"Leana adalah fans dari Malaysia. Asyiknya dia punya ortu (orangtua/parents) yang mahu menemaniya menguber (kejar) Archie. Cewek ini mengajak sepupu juga. Tak lupa membawakan Archie cupcake dengan berwajah Archie. Duh, sayang banget buat memakannya, ya. Selain berfoto bersama Leana, Archie juga mau diajak foto bareng(dengan) ortunya(orangtua/parents)."

How the HECK did they know my name anyway. Hmm. *thinks* *slaps head* But OF COURSE! They must've seen my blog over at David's official site...

This: http://davidarchuletanetwork.ning.com/profiles/blogs/david-you-rawk-my-world-my

Goodness me. I NEED THAT MAGAZINE. PERIOD.

P.S: THANKS ZULAIKHA! For telling me! n Kak Ema (my maid) for the translations lol.

I have a DREAM.

See that up there? Yeah, I made this mock David Archuleta concert poster to help AAM (Archuleta Avenue Malaysia) promote the petition to encourage David Archuleta to hold a FULL concert in Malaysia in the near future :D

SIGN THE PETITION!

www.ipetitions.com/petition/DAconcertMH/

Please help us Malaysian Arch Angels/Archies realize our dreams~ :D

OUR RESOLVE:

http://archuletavenue.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/i-have-a-dream/

Hehe...I even revamped the whole blog theme for this.

Disclaimer: PHOTOS used in this work are not mine.

P.S: HOUSE please hurry and come back from Mayfield D:

Robert is NOT Wilson.

Okay peeps, I've discovered that Robert Sean Leonard, the guy who plays Dr. James Wilson in HOUSE is completely OPPOSITE of Wilson! As a matter of fact, he's kinda House-ish! Get this, he initially auditioned for House's part in the show NOT Wilson. Haha.

Let's start with something VERY recent. This video is dated today, June 19th:

Now watch these:

He thinks Wilson is pathetic! BWHAHAH.


NOTE: Olivia = 13, Peter = Taub, Kal = Kutner :)

I love the guy. Can't you tell? Hah.

Reaching For Myself

Look, I'm not disturbed or upset or anything. My muse is simply dark & uh, emo (dang I hate that word). This popped in my head and demanded itself out. So, here I am. If you must know, I was actually thinking of House & Wilson's "stupid & screwed up friendship" when this...thing (Nothing I write is worthy to be called a 'poem'. They're just a bunch of rhymes.) sneaked into my mind.

"stupid & screwed up friendship" <--- This is quoted from Wilson himself.

Don't believe me? Here: http://www.housemd-guide.com/characters/house-wilson.php

That page kinda compiles interesting quotes/dialouge snippets between House & Wilson throughout the show. Very interesting to read indeed. At least I think so. Yes, yes. I admit it. I'm suffering from HOUSE withdrawal. Sue me.

Oh yeah for those of you who don't know what a muse is. It is a source of inspiration :) If it's just trash anyway, I'd like this post to be educational at least.

REACHING FOR MYSELF

Never would I've jumped,

Into the abyss of unknown,

Had you not sound saddened,

Through the cell phone.

Never would I've risked,

Everything I hold dear,

Had you not whispered,

The nightmares you fear.

Never would I've known,

What it's like to care,

Had you not shown me,

The pain that you bear.

Never would I've thought,

To find what I've sought,

Had you not seen through,

The iron mask I've wrought.

My solace, my salvation, my damnation,

The abyss of unknown that is you,

Never would I've thought,

I'd find my true self, in you.

Cuddy's Serenade

I've just finished watching Season 5 of HOUSE ergo the new banner. If you want to avoid spoilers STOP reading this.

Anyway, first things first. I'm in love with this piece "Cuddy's Serenade" written by Hugh Laurie (Gregory House). That man is a genius.

House played the song at the end of episode 15 - UNFAITHFUL of HOUSE season 5. He played it as a sort of acknowledgement to missing Cuddy's baby Rachel's simchat bat, a traditional Jewish baby-naming ceremony.


Don't remember the episode?
Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfaithful_(House)

Don't remember the song? HOW COULD YOU!

Anyway, here. REFRESH your LOUSY memory:



I would LOVE to post the real clip from the episode NOW but YouTube doesn't have it. Don't fear, I SHALL put it up on YouTube. I must and I WILL.

I've been playing the song over & over. Oh how I wish I have an accoustic piano. For you noobs who don't know what an 'accoustic piano' is, it's a string piano. I'm grateful for my electric piano but it just ain't the same I tell you.

Say what? You want the sheet music of "Cuddy's Serenade" so that you can play it over & over again too?

HERE :D
http://www.house-md.pl/2009/05/03/cuddys-serenade-sheetcuddys-serenade-nuty/

Enough of that. Now onwards to some REAL spoilers. Again, shoo if you don't want spoilers.

THE ENDING. AUGH. Where do I begin? ...

Let's start with the beginning of the end. Which, in my opinion starts when AMBER (that blonde-impertinent-Wilson-stealer-bEach) REappears in House's hallucination. This happens at the end of episode 21 - SAVIORS of Season 5.

(FYI, Wilson is MINE. Or House's. Hmm. Meh.)

And what a dramatic reappearance it was. House was playing "Georgia On My Mind" by Ray Charles then POP. AMBER. Hurgh. And just I as I was enjoying the Jazz masterpiece.

From that moment on. Things just went downhill. House's psychotic-ness escalates. It broke my heart. Stuff happens - The induced Insulin Coma thing. Then, the Cuddy Vicodin induced fairy tale thing. Cameron & Chase getting married!! And finally, MAYFIELD.

I want House & Cuddy to end up together so BAD. AND I dislike Cameron. Rawr. Chase, poor Chase.

Egh. This is depressing. I shall wait for September 2009 expectantly if not somewhat aprehensively as to what shall befall House next.

Now, let's have a happy vid to cheer myself up. Firstly, hear the song that's playing? Y'know, the tape player at the top of this blog? Yeah? It's the song used in the fanvid. Oh! Hmm, the vid I wanted to embed here can't be embed. Well then, have the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezic5s_8bhw

Wilson & House. I love you guys :')

You two should be friends forever.

Roger's Nightmare

Roger: "It's PINKKKKK!!!"

HAHA.

Can't help myself :P

P.S: Check these out: http://twitpic.com/photos/federernews
These pictures are worth a gazillion laughter. ;) They 'inspired' me to photoshop Nadal's neon pink shirt onto Federer HAHA xD

P.P.S: I've realized that some of you NOOBS out there don't seem to know that the pink shirt & the yellow headband/wrist band is PHOTOSHOPPED onto Roger by ME. It's originally RAFAEL NADAL's outfit. Not Roger's. So, it's meant to be funny. Hmph.

HOPE

I feel like putting up one of my emo poems now. Take no heed of me. I am nought but an ignorant child. Yet to have a taste of what life truly is, my words are foolish. Simple, I am.



HOPE

Irresistible to the ignorant,

Essential to the desperate,

It can be your salvation,

It can be your destruction.



A beacon of light,

Shining in the darkness,

It can show you the way,

It can blind your pathway.



Addictive to dreamers,

The heroine of believers,

You can fly with it,

You can die with it.



Ensnaring your soul,

It can strangle you,

Hard and cold,

It can abandon you.



Only those with strength,

Can endure its deceit,

Fallen and broken,

Unfortunately, I am weak.

Insya Allah

Earlier this afternoon I found out that Mai's (One of my best friends) eldest brother who is studying Medicine in Mesir was involved in a car crash. His name is, Akram B. Abdul Kadir and is in a coma.

I just wanted to post this so that my close friends & Mai's close friends can pray for him. Doa & Solat Hajat. Insya Allah, dengan izin yang Maha Esa, sembuhkanlah Muhammad Akram B. Abdul Kadir.

FYI, there were 4 other students who were involved in the car crash. One of them already passed away. The other 3 is stable.

Quest For Perfection

Yes. It is INEVITABLE.

7th JUNE 2009 - ROGER FEDERER WON THE MEN'S SINGLES FRENCH OPEN TITLE.

Roger Federer Defeats Robin Soderling in French Open Mens Final for 2009.

The score: 6-1, 7-6, 6-4

The heavens shed tears of joy with the victorious swiss.

The crowd gave a standing ovation as they witness one of Roger Federer's career defining moments.

With this, Roger Federer has made his mark in Tennis History BIGGER. Roger now matches Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam Titles & has finally complete his collection of all the Grand Slam titles on all court surfaces.

If Roger Federer's definition of 'Perfection' is to be considered by many as the best player of all time...then, 'Perfection' it is. He might not be on top of the Tennis world NOW (He's been there), he is already beyond it. Roger Federer has achieved the status LIVING LEGEND.

By playing his unique, precision, graceful and elegant yet powerful brand of tennis, Roger Federer is and shall always be a TRUE champion.

Okay, I know that pictures are worth a thousand words. Well then how about a video? Heh.

Now, let's not forget the Barca-flag-and-revolutionary-cap dude! He's LOCO that guy. Like seriously...

This SO needs a video

Watch out WIMBLEDON, Roger is coming for you.
