Soundtrack of my teenage years

Kengkawan aku dah bising suruh update blog ni. Takde idea la kengkawan. Oh, well, dengarlah lagu-lagu kegemaranku waktu zaman muda remaja dulu...

Zaman aku umur 11-12 tahun aku sangat minat dgn lagu dari kartun Disney. Yang paling aku selalu repeat ialah lagu ni:



HAKUNA MATATA!

Hakuna matata maksudnya no worries in Swahili. Time aku umur 12 thn dulu aku sangat terpikat dgn philosophy hidup no worries tu. Hmm umur 12 tahun nak worry pasal apa ntah.

Bila umur aku meningkat ke 13-14 tahun dan masuk sekolah menengah, muncul pulak zaman kenaikan boyband. Time tu Backstreet Boys baru nak naik dengan lagu ni:


Zaman aku minat boyband sekejap je. Bila aku naik Form 3 (tahun '97!) bff aku time tu mula introduce aku kepada muzik yg lebih edgy dan alternative. Muncul pulak Oasis dalam hidup aku:


Tak lupa juga Blur dengan lagu Beetlebum. I have great memories of this song.


 Sambil classmates aku sibuk layan BSB, N'Sync, Boyzone etc., aku dan Serena (bff aku - sib baik nama aku bukan Blair Waldorf huhuhu) dok layan lagu ni time Sports Day (one of the few times we were allowed to bring our Walkmans). Orang lain dok sebut Nick Carter, Justin Timberlake, Ronan Keating. Our boys were Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Richard Ashcroft.


Oops takde plak music video lagu di atas. Richard Ashcroft ialah lead singer untuk The Verve ni.


Argh lagu ni pun takleh nak embed music video! Time tu lagu Karma Police ni memang stick in my head sebab video dia yang weird. But I didn't learn to love Radiohead until much, much later (in my 20's lol). I love Thom Yorke's voice and Jonny Greenwood is my favourite guitarist ever ever ever.

In between the years aku ada jugak phase lain di mana aku minat Michael Jackson (time baby sampai about 5 yrs old), Madonna (zaman Darjah 1-3), nasyid (zaman uni), Adam Lambert (sekarang hehe) tapi alternative music adalah genre yg aku minat dari 15 thn - dah 13 tahun I'm into this music. No current hit on the radio can compare to 90's rock IMO. Nak muntah aku dengar lagu Bieber, Kesha, Miley dan yg seangkatan dengan mereka. That's why iPod dah jadi teman setia aku, at least takyah la aku dengar lagu-lagu rubbish kat radio sekarang.

Walau bagaimanapun, I still love Adam Lambert.


Dah.

Nostalgia

I started this blog in 2005.


Posted once, forgot about it and didn't return till 2010.


Let's see...

5 years ago:
I was 23.
I was still working in Ipoh.
I was still living with my parents.
I had a mad crush on a guy who barely noticed me.
I was friends with, or rather, thought I was friends with a lady who passed away late last year at the too-young age of 29. Never got to make amends with her. Never even knew she was gone until recently.
I started to realize that being different is not a good thing, when you're stuck with a bunch of ass-backwards makciks.

Now:
I am 28.
I am living on my own. Well, with 2 super destructive, noisy, unneutered male cats.
I am beyond having crushes. I legit think there is a heart shaped stone in my chest.
I have realized who my true friends are.
Being different is a good thing if your name is Stefani Germanotta. Me, I'm a normal person. Just different from the ass-backwards makciks.

Edit: Ntah naper gif di atas tak bergerak. Ah, biar. Tengok je la Lady Gaga about to be fierce.
