Oh, crap.

I have tickets.


And look what I found on the Net today.

Protest all you want, tapi bila nampak perkataan 'PAS' dan 'kerajaan' tu, aku mula ragu-ragu tentang niat sebenar golongan yang nak memprotes ni.

My lovely Kak Munira predicted that this whole deal will be a major political issue. Looks like she's right.

I'm not well-versed enough in Malaysian politics to offer my opinion on the matter, so I won't say anything. Aku just harap yang nak protest tu, jangan menghujani perarakan aku (don't rain on my parade huhuhu) and just let us enjoy our concert in peace. 

Adam may be controversial, but he's not stupid. Daripada apa yang aku nampak dia tau nak respek culture and sensitivities orang so rasanya dia takkan buat aksi stage gay dia tu. Paling kuat pun mungkin cuit pipi Tommy Joe (bassist dia) je. 
Ok, macam ni cukup.

Pada masa yang sama aku jumpa artikel ni:

6 days left to the concert OMG can't wait

Maneki Neko

Bila aku tengok gambar kittens on the net, aku heran camne photographer tu boleh buat kitten tu pose.


Bila aku nak tangkap gambar kitten aku, ini yang aku dapat. 


That blurry orange thing is my kitten. Please ignore the gigantic black and white creature taking up space in my small home.

Last-last this is the best pic I can get of my newest baby, Neko.


Well, at least you can see her face.

I COLLECT CATS LIKE PEOPLE COLLECT STAMPS OKAY DON'T JUDGE ME

Anyway Neko is about 4-6 weeks old (says the so-called cat expert) and abandoned by evil humans. Of course, how could I say NO or GO AWAY I DON'T WANT YOU to that precious widdle thing? Gigi belum tumbuh, one side of her whiskers was singed off by the horrible kids in my block, and to top it off, she had an abscess (bisul) on her shoulder.

*Enter Lily the Cat Angel*

Daripada aku biar kucing kecik camni berkeliaran lapar, dan dibuat main oleh bebudak ganas kat block aku, or worse, kena langgar keta or kena tangkap dgn orang Vietnam utk dijadikan lauk, baik aku bela. At least she will have the best care I can possibly give. Instead of scavenging around in people's trash for food, she can now have these:

1) Vitamin kucing to maintain general health
2) Innova Evo cat food supaya boleh bertukar jadi kereta
3) Taste of The Wild cat food (perisa rusa!) kot nak merasa makan makanan yang sama seperti mountain lion kat USA.

Back on the topic of pet photography. Kucing besar tak susah nak tangkap gambar sebab diorang boleh dok diam. Extreme close-up pun boleh, contohnya:

NUTS/BALLS/SCROTUM (NEUTERED)

As always, with the new addition to the family, time for me to do some ~planning~.

Toodles.

Neither boy nor girl

Watching my cat stagger around like a drunkard with bloodied balls is quite an experience.


(he's recovering from the anesthesia administered to him for his neutering)

Biz-bod

Petang tadi waktu aku tengah sibuk menyelesaikan tugasan yang diberikan oleh bos yakni mencari lampu meja, berlaku sesuatu yang memang membuatkan aku rasa *facepalm*


Sambil aku merayau sekitar kedai lampu kat Bukit Tinggi, aku ternampak la ada couple ni tengah bergaduh. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang penuh dengan sikap apathy dan taknak ambik tahu hal orang, aku pun buat tak tau la pada couple tersebut. Ye la, hal rumah tangga orang buat apa pulak aku yang berumahtangga dengan kucing ni nak ambil tau.

Sekali, budak lelaki tu pukul awek dia! Aku yang waktu tu dah walk past the couple pun terhenti seketika. Betul ke apa yang aku nampak ni? Kes domestic violence happening out in the open? Sebagai seorang wanita yang bersikap feminis aku pun patah le balik. Tapi aku hesitate. Kalau aku masuk campur kang silap-silap aku pun kena pukul sekali. Lagi pun taknak la biz-bod. Aku linger dekat kereta aku dengan perasaan berbelah-bagi. Nak tolong ke taknak? Budak pempuan tu nangis-nangis minta boyfriendnya lepaskan tangan dia. Tiba-tiba muncul pulak perasaan prihatin, kasihan dan yang utama sekali, curious. Aku pun approach diorang.

"Er, awak berdua, sori, saya tak niat ganggu, tapi ada apa-apa masalah ke?" Inila soalan bodoh yang aku ajukan. Mesti budak lelaki tu pikir, memangla ada masalah cik kak oi, tak nampak ke saya pukul awek saya tadi. Hampeh punya budak. Nasib baik dia tak jawab macam tu, kalau tak memang aku sumbat roti Gardenia dalam mulut dia (the only weapon I have).

"Akak tanya la budak bangang ni, ada ke keluar kereta pastu terus lari lintas jalan? Sib baik tak kena langgar tadi tau! Bodoh, bangang!" kata budak lelaki tersebut. Adoi. Bukanla niat aku nak wish ill upon people, tapi kalau dua-dua kena langgar pun takpe. We don't need anymore stupid people in the world. Aku pun pasang muka unimpressed wolf (tm) aku.

"La, takkanla dia lari lintas jalan pun awak nak pukul dia? Apa masalahnya?" tanyaku dengan muka dan suara yang toye.

Ok, aku malas nak tulis dialog, tapi budak lelaki tu kata yang awek dia tuduh dia ada pempuan lain. Gaduh gaduh gaduh, bila sampai ke tempat tu (I'm guessing at the traffic light across the road) budak pempuan tu terus keluar kereta dengan niat nak lari dari boyfriend dia. Boyfriend dia kejar, gaduh lagi, jerit jerit (at this point aku lalu sebelah diorang) lepas tu kena sedebik. 

Unimpressed Lily: Erm, saya taknak tau masalah korang, tapi korang sedar tak yang kita ni berdiri depan kedai? Nampak tak ramai orang tengok tu? Apa kata korang masuk dalam kereta ke, apa ke, kalau ye pun jangan la sampai orang tengok, nanti diorang panggil polis baru tau.

(Wah wah wah helpful nya aku ni)

Budak Pempuan: Akak, suruh dia lepaskan saya kak!
Budak Lelaki: Ey, aku nak hantar ko balik, bodoh! Jom balik!
Budak Pempuan: Akak, saya taknak balik dengan dia kak, nanti dia pukul saya lagi!
Passersby: *watches*
Shop assistants: *peeks from inside their shop*
Concerned Lily (to the girl): Ok rumah adik kat mana?
Budak Lelaki: Bangsar!
This is Lily thinking WTF: Jauhnya! Camne boleh sampai sini? (Amende la soalan bodoh aku tanya ni. Like I said, *facepalm*)
Budak Lelaki: Ada ke dia suruh saya ambik dia kat Putrajaya kak? Pastu sampai sini lari keluar kereta, buang masa aku je, bangang!

(At this point aku mula menyesal sebab tanya apa masalah diorang. Aku tak kisah tolong, tapi please don't off-load your problems to me. I don't even know you.)

Lily, who by this point is tired of the shit: Erm, ok...
Kawan diorang yang muncul out of nowhere: Eh, marila aku hantar ko balik.
Budak Pempuan: (Nama kawan - didn't catch it), ko jangan sibuk la!!! Ko dah kantoi tau tak, aku nampak ko kat Unisel dengan (someone)!
Kawan dengan muka WTF: Eh, (someone's name) memang belajar kat Unisel...
Lily, who just wants to buy her fricking lamp: *sigh* (nampak polis datang) Ha tu, polis dah datang, lantak korang la, saya tak tau...

Dengan ketibaan polis ke situ aku pun quietly take my leave. Biarlah polis yang settle, it's out of my hands. Aku pun sambung survey lampu. Waktu nak keluar dari parking aku lalu depan diorang lagi sekali, polis dah separate kan diorang to be interrogated. Teringin juga aku stay nak tengok kesudahan drama ni, tapi cukup la sekejap aku enter frame. 

Conclusion:
1. I am strongly against domestic violence, guys hitting girls, guys hitting guys, girls hitting guys, girls hitting girls (speaking from personal experience here) and humans hitting cats.
2. Prihatin ke penyibuk? Where does one draw the line?
3. Relationships can be complicated. I hope my relationships (with anyone) won't be like this. 
4. I also hope to never embarrass myself in public like this couple just did.
5. At last jumpa jugak lampu study yang simple design dan cahaya putih for just RM38. So expensive meh. Masa aku belajar dulu lampu study 20 ringgit je, dah tu merata ada jual. Student zaman sekarang dah tak pakai lampu study ke?

Sparkle

Kak Munira punya latest entry inspired this.

Let's see now.

Humans falling in love with vampires - how original is this idea? Was Stephenie Meyer the first author to think of it?

Charlaine Harris started writing the Dead Until Dark series in 2001. The series was subsequently adapted to the TV show 'True Blood'. In this series, Sookie Stackhouse falls in love with a vampire.

Let's go even further back - L.J. Smith published The Vampire Diaries in 1991. The protagonist, Elena Gilbert is torn between two vampire brothers.

Stephenie Meyer published Twilight in 2005. I AM ASTOUNDED BY HER ORIGINALITY.

From Tumblr:

"Twilight is a four-part book series about a girl struggling to decide between beastiality and necrophilism"

Optimistic

I was driving home
Steeped in misery

Put my iPod on shuffle
Then this song came up



If you try the best you can, the best you can is good enough

Betul tu, Thom, betul
Then followed by this song



Lagu ni takde kena mengena dengan hidup aku (I'm not under anyone's spell)
But Adam cheers me up when he sings

So, Adam L. and Thom Yorke, you guys are my therapists for the night
May tomorrow be a better day

Yet another music post

Disebabkan aku biasa dok depan laptop je dan layan lagu, ini je la benda aku boleh tulis dlm blog ok. Either that, or watch me ramble about my cats. Deal with it.

Anyway, I've been getting a lot of new music lately. Semua lagu di bawah telah direkemenkan oleh my fellow Adam Lambert fans.

No. 1: Florence + The Machine - lagu dia sangatla best




No. 2: Marina & The Diamonds - her voice is so weird and awesome




No. 3: Goldfrapp - ni Adam sendiri yang rekemen



No. 4: Nikka Costa - my current ear candy + the female version of Adam



No. 5: Jeff Buckley - suara dia macam Adam




I've also been listening to a lot of Radiohead lately, but they're not new to me. I guess because Radiohead songs are not the happiest songs in the world, my listening to them reflects my current mental state, yes? Haha. Ain't nuthin' like Radiohead to pile on even more blues on what you already have.

that last sentence is grammatically incorrect yet I can't find the mistake and it's bugging me! It's the two 'on's! Gaahhh

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.

Cherry Cherry Boom Boom

I went back to Ipoh this past weekend only to discover that my mom has grandchildren.

No really. Her cat, Tam gave birth to two lovely kittens two weeks ago. And since my mom no longer has small humans running around the house to stave off boredom (she's retired lol), she has to make do with cats.

Tam looks exactly like Chuck, except she's a girl, obviously, and her tail is kinked. She's also half Chuck's size, terribly clever, and harbours dreams of becoming a circus cat one day. She hates it when I bring my boys back to Ipoh because they are huge, horny and kinda bad ass looking. Tam's a teeny weeny little thing and previously she had reproductive issues, where her kittens are born cacat, blind etc. So this time round, looks like the kittens are gonna make it.



I shot the vid using my dad's newly bought Sony Bloggie PM-5.


It's a camcorder that's the same size as my handphone. I want one. I don't even know what I'm gonna use it for, but it'll be cool to have a camcorder I can put in my handbag. See something Youtube-worthy? 

*whip out camcorder* 
*shoot*
 *upload*

Cool, eh?

Hmm. I'm still broke. No more cool gadgets for me, for the time being.

My boys...

...are back.

In the space of 3 weeks:


  • I crashed my car
  • Chuck decided to compete in the Animalympics high dive event...although there was no pool
  • Pat proved that he's straight after all, and went off to chase after girls
As of today:

  • My car is ok now
  • Chuck survived the fall, and kept regaling me with the tale (tail?) of his adventure (at least, I think so. Despite my cat-loving ways I have yet to decipher the secret language of Meow)
  • Pat decided that maybe life on the prowl is not for him, and came back to my flat where I'm the only girl waiting for him. Hey, at least I can feed you Pat. That's something girl cats can't do, ha!
Not gonna post pics of my boys just yet because Pat needs a bath. Here's something much cooler:


ETA: Apsal gif file tak boleh berfungsi dlm blog ni? That robot is supposed to shoot lasers out of its eyes!

Lagi satu ETA: I'm taking Pat to the vet soonish for a little snip snip. Life in the wild has made him horny. I think he doesn't understand that Chuck is a boy just like him.
Boy cat + girl cat = baby cats 
Boy cat + boy cat = gender confusion and general gayness
In other words: PAT STOP TRYING TO MATE WITH CHUCK OKAY HE DOES NOT HAVE GIRL CAT PARTS

Weekend Update

This post will be divided into several parts.

Part 1: Chuck's prognosis


Not very good. Vet says: no fractures, but his spine may have been twisted/herniated/terkeluar or something. Affected his spinal cord, so now he can't stand up, won't eat, won't drink, won't do anything except meow loudly and annoy the other patients in the animal ward.

So I looked it up: Spinal Trauma in Cats

Hmm. Corticosteroid injection? Done. Tapi kenapa Chuck still taknak makan sampai nak kena force feed? In the end dia kena stay kat ward until boleh makan sendiri. Then baru boleh bawak balik. In the meantime, I am forced to feed myself downgraded bread and peanut butter until my next paycheck. RM350 gone, for Chuck's sake. Itu pun belum habis treatment lagi tu, I am looking at roughly ~RM500 total for Chuck.


Conclusion: Chuck isn't looking good. My bank account is looking even worse.

Which brings me to...

Part 2: ~Financial Analysis~

I downloaded this cool app for my iPod called iXpenseIt. Bagus jugak app ni, setiap kali aku berbelanja aku akan enter dalam app ni supaya boleh keep track of my expenses. And yes, expenses untuk beli iPod dan segala lagu, apps etc yang aku download pun aku enter sekali. Yang sedihnya, bulan ni punya budget sampai dah -ve! Maknanya aku dah cecah tahap bankrupt, w/pun dalam bank account ada la sikit duit. Cukup makan sampai gaji, tapi tak cukup kalau Chuck punya vet bills sampai ke tahap ~RM 500 tu. Hurm, what do I do what do I do. Takkan la nak mintak duit mak pulak, aku ni dah beso tagun.

Ah, malas la nak pikir. Kalau takde duit makan je la roti kosong, gaji pun tinggal berapa hari lagi je nak masuk. I need something to distract me...

Part 3: Adam


O HAI BB YOU LOOK FABULOUS TODAY

Part 3: Some 'street fair', I don't even know

I went to the Gatsby Deodorant Street Fair in Times Square with my lovely not-sister Kak Munira. My thoughts:

  • Yes, the registration counter was supposed to open at 10. But who in the everloving world would actually open the counter at 10am on the dot, when people had already started arriving and standing in front of your frickin' counter? Who does that? See, when people have to register for something, open the counter earlier so that the early birds can register, go off and do their own thing, then come back when the event starts. That way, it won't congest the registration queue, and your staff won't be all kelam-kabut trying to ease the backlog that will inevitably happen. Well played, nuffnang, well played.
  • Somehow it struck me that the event staffers were ill-prepared to handle an event with ~800 people. Dunno, maybe it's just me. But I did hear some ~complaints from the other attendees about this.
  • Shit, f***, stop trying to spray your stinky 'deodorant' in my face, beeyotch! I don't want to walk out of Times Square smelling like cheap men's cologne okay!
  • Borders Borders Borders yay! Books Books Books Books Books hehehehehe
  • Lily stop it. You are broke.
  • Oh yeah.
  • Krispy Kreme is way over-hyped. Sikitnya choice of donuts. However, the donuts are delish, and the cream filling are abundant and overflowing.
  • Saw feather boas in several lingerie shops. People here wear those things? They made me giggle though, cos Adam wears them. 

Mega conclusion from today's post: Chuck is sick, Lily is broke, Adam is fabulous, and Gatsby stinks. The end.

He brought lasers

Biasa dengar lagu Whataya Want From Me kat radio kan? Now watch Adam perform it live on the American Idol results show on Top 9 part 2 week.



Now how about a little acoustic rendition?



That Adam. What a great singer, and an awesome entertainer.

Crisis

Aku selalu komplen yg hidup aku ni tak cukup exciting dan eventful untuk tulis dalam blog. That's why sebelum ni macam malas nak update. Nothing ever happens. Tapi bulan ni, bertimpa-timpa pulak events sampai aku nak tulis dalam blog pun tak sempat lol.

Mula-mula, aku pergi mengelamun dan langgar kereta orang. My excuse: I could have sworn there was a traffic light at the junction! Mimpi. Tu la. Ngelamun lagi.


Habis RM800 kat situ dan lagi RM900 utk bayar orang yg aku langgar tu. Bengong. 

Tanggal Jumaat 16 April 2010 adalah tarikh paling bersejarah dalam hidup kucing aku Chuck. Tetiba dia rasa daredevil dan terjun bangunan tanpa apa-apa safety harness/bungee cord/parachute. Alahai Chuck. Dah la makanan ko lagi mahal dari makanan aku (aku pun makan roti free je), ubat ko jangan cakap la. Bangkrap aku camni. Vet pulak bagitau belakang ko cedera dan ko taknak makan sampai kena manually feed. No, Chuck no. Please eat. I can't deal with this right now. Sian Pat dok sorang kat rumah. Sian ko, sebab kalau ko lumpuh macam mana aku nak jaga ko? Please get better. Please please please.

Shit, I'm crying now.

I'll continue later.
