You too, RPattz.

If you count yourself as one of those people, I'm sorry for your life.

Oh, and one more thing:

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.

:(

Tumblr hari ni slow :(

Aku belum bayar credit card :(

Family aku nak melancong, tinggalkan aku :(

Kucing aku miang :(

Aku keje dah setengah tahun tapi rasa completely inadequate :(

Aku takde boyfriend :(

Aku dah overweight :(

Aku buat entry ni sebab aku nak post gambar ni

NO OTHER REASON

I'm actually feeling okay

Must be the chocolate

Thanks Marina

Nanti bulan depan beli lagi

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.

Cat in the window, cat on the ground

This is my cat, Chuck.

He was named after Chuck Bass. Yeah.

He is black, noisy, scaredy (cat), virile (as in unneutered lol) and mildly retarded.

He pees everywhere.

This is not Chuck, though I wish it was. Takde gambar Chuck tengah kencing okay

He is somewhat lacking in natural cat instincts. For instance, it just doesn't occur to him that not burying his shit after berak may get him killed in the real world. Cats bury their shit so that their enemies can't find them by the shitty smell.

(no, I'm not gonna post an image of cat shit here. That's gross.)

It also never occurred to him that it's kind of a long way down from the 4th floor window to the ground.

So today, he took the big leap.

Unfortunately, Chuck terjun terus ke bawah.

Are you tired of life, Chuck? Does the presence of your gay brother, Patrick, offend you? Am I a bad cat mommy? Or were you just distracted by the pretty, delicious-looking birds chirping outside the window?

Probably just the birds. Pat's not gay, just sexually confused. If he's gay I will rename him Adam. I haven't been the best cat mommy I know, but your expenses cost a bomb you know! And now, your vet bills OMG! My ATM card is crying!

Oh my noisy, suicidal, retarded cat
You hurt my ears, and now you hurt my pocket

Still, you and Pat are my babies. Get well soon, Pat misses you. It's kinda quiet when you're not around.

Stunner

I was gonna post about vandalism, but got sidetracked by my fender bender, then got sidetracked by these pretty pictures. Priorities, I has them.

 WTF ARE YOU DOING THERE ADAM

From here and here. I think you have to be a member to see the second link though *shrug*.

Smoky

So, last Saturday I went to a perfume warehouse sale with Marina. Was kinda disappointed when I saw that most of the perfumes on sale were unheard-of brands and really old stock (Givenchy Amarige? Really?). Still, I did find one fragrance which I rather liked: Miss Sixty Rock Muse.

Also, my favourite find was a Givenchy eyeshadow quad, which has dark grey/plum in it! Yay! Boleh buat smoky eyes lepas ni! Glittery pulak tu!

Mine is Black Denim. Love love love.

I LOVE SMOKY EYES OKAY

Masalahnya aku takde banyak peluang nak menggayakan look ni. Takkan la datang kerja tetiba pakai eyeshadow macam orang nak pergi dinner. So, bila ada je peluang menjelma aku mesti akan try jugak buat smoky eyes walaupun pada hakikatnya tak la pandai pun. Kadang-kadang nak buat smoky eyes, tapi raccoon eyes atau panda eyes yang keluar.

Tengok, Adam Lambert pun pandai buat smoky eyes.

 Pernah sekali try heavily lined eyes tapi at the end of the day, I ended up looking like the raccoon above. Tapi...tapi...

Inilah eyeliner yang Adam gunakan! MAC Kohl Power Eye Pencil! Kalau aku ada eyeliner ni, aku pun boleh buat mata aku jadi macam dia!

(deep breath)

Kumpul duit. Nanti boleh beli makeup MAC walaupun hakikatnya aku pakai makeup 2 bulan sekali je.

Next part of my post:

Vandalism: Start 'em young!

Sing with me

My most played song on iTunes:



I can listen to this on repeat all day. Oh, and while you're at it, do check out the original version from Led Zeppelin:



And Adam's version of the song, as heard on American Idol Season 8:



peace out

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.

Gif for your enjoyment:

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