Neighbours!

Living in apartment,does have it's ups and downs. And encounters with weird neighbour.

For example the next door neighbour that just moved in several months ago. From the balcony I could see him playing WOW, 24/7. He and his wife, (I assumed they are married) never went out of their house, ever. They have their papers delivered at their doorstep (I took a peek at their paper every morning),and they have their food and groceries (like ciggarettes) delivered too.

My mom said they must have been internet millionaires.
Probably.

And their apartment emmitted a strange smell, like a mixture of tobacco and air condition. My dad sniffed at that smell once and curled his lips in disgust.

He said it's not the smell of cigarettes, but of weed and pot.
Probably.

This one time I went out at night to throw the garbage, and I found myself coming out at the same time with my neighbour. He took one look at me and quickly diverted his gaze, and stared at the floor.

It's like he's scared of any eye contact.
Weirdo.

And this neighbour we have one floor up. I always heard noises, like things dropping and chairs dragging, and heavy footsteps, and all of this happened in the middle of the night. It's weird because during the day, I could swear there's not a peep from them.

They only made noises at nighttime. 2 am and onwards.

Last night at around 30 minutes after the fireworks for the Merdeka celebration ends, I was surfing the net and downloading things, when this godawful banging and hammering started, louder than ever before. They were banging something on the floor, and the noise are deafening. For 40 minutes it went on, only getting louder and louder.

My sis knocked on the door, asked if I heard that. Duhh, of course! It's loud. We went to investigate. The noise comes from the kitchen ceiling. My sis took a broom and knocked on the seiling, yelling for them to shut up. No use. Of course they couldn't hear us. They were knocking and hammering away.

I joked to my sis that they are using a mortar and pestle to make sambal. At 2 am in the morning.

Then someone knocked on our door. My sis answered, and there's someone asking if we were the one making that noise. He's from one floor down.

It's so loud till someone from 2 levels below can hear it. So my sis and that person went up to knock on that noisy household's door. My sis told me there's this married couple who answered the door with a happy smile plastered on their face.

"Are you guys the one who made all the noise?" my sis asked.

"Yes" they answered happily.

"Please shut up! It's late!" both my sis and that other neighbor said.

I wish I was with them. I would like to ask. What are they doing? Late night renovation works? Cooking? Murdering their maid? Some kinky game?

Nobody knows.

And regarding that house on the hills. I could see from my room's window. They are back last week. With more canopies, the house are having another 'kenduri'. with lots of cars coming and going till late night.And suddenly last night they were gone, again.

Weird.

Life is weird.

But neighbors are even weirder.

David Archuleta - Crush



This 17 year old cutie didn't win american idol, but he'll always have a place in my heart. Cause he's so cute! And this is his new single. <3


David Archuleta
Crush


[Verse 1]
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside..
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..

[Chorus]
Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Has it ever cross your mind
When we're hangin spending time girl
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last,
Last forever, forever

[Chorus]

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..

Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away x5


Gin Blossoms-till i hear it from you

Another ancient song...I remember it playing on the radios when I was in kindergarden....such a long time ago...love it so much back then.

Gin Blossoms
Till i hear it from you


I didnt ask
They shouldnt have told me
At first Id laugh, but now
Its sinking in fast
Whatever theyve sold me
Well baby I dont want to take advice from fools
Ill just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
It gets hard
The memorys faded
Who gets what they say
Its likely theyre just jealous and jaded
Well maybe I dont want to take advice from fools
Ill just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
Until I hear it from you
I cant let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothings wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Til were talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I dont want to take advice from fools
Ill just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you...

Better than Ezra-Our Last Night

An old song...yet I loved it still..

Better than Ezra
Our Last Night


We were standing in an empty room.
The moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
Pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
But those days were over.
You were calling my name when
Your face faded from view.

And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?

Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?

I remember waking up with you.
The days doing nothing,
You meant more to me then
Than I think you ever knew.
But you were going to be a doctor,
A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar,
I hope the world never tore that out of you.

And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?

Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made?

And what ever happened to the things you loved, the songs we played,
On the Indian days?
What ever happened to the things you gave away,
Like 'Harold and Maude' and singing?

I was waving as you drove away.
The sunlight was falling.
You were writing backwards
In a dusty windowpane.

Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?


The best actor goes to....Mr Cicak!

There's this one cicak in my house. Yes I know every house have cicaks but this one stands out in the crowd. Why? Because it can act. Yes!

Usually cicaks will drop their tail if they feel threatened or are grabbed by the tail. Their built in defense mechanism. Only if they are disturbed first.But the cicak in my home is different.

It's aggressive. It's attack you if you open your door, by running straight to your feet.

After it realizes that it's pretty futile to kill your feet it'll run away to the opposite direction and pretend to be badly hurt and die.

I mean you should see it. It twitches, legs and head bend in an awkward angle and pretend to be in a bad seizure before stopped moving at all, dead. After you went away, it quickly flee for safety.

What a stupid stupid cicak!

Maybe it's not stupid. It's kind off clever. Cicaks do evolve. They get smart to plan that kind of strategy.

But still....

Golden Sun

For a GBA game, the graphic are awesome! Seriously. Just started playing this game yesterday, and overall it's great. The plotting, gameplay...,battles using psynergy...I even like the djinns (such great help). Just one thing, I wish you can choose to avoid all the enemies instead of them popping up suddenly. I mean, show them on the map please. I hate when I was walking in an empty tunnel and suddenly I was attacked out of the blue. I want the choice of seeing them first and choose to battle them or avoid them. Otherwise it's great. So far.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

The game of the week!


I've wasted my weekend days away on my bed playing this game. I love it. It's addictive. And I think I've fallen for the characters in this game. Hehehe. It's been a long time since I've developed crushes on these virtual characters. (since Castlevania)

Number one.

Joshua. Yeah, he's a cool fighter. And kind off cute. A Prince going undercover as a mercenary to travel the worlds and understand his people better. How could you not love him?

Number two
He's mine! Drool! Every time he emerges the winner! I love you Seth!!

Number three.
He's Saleh. And he's a powerful magic wielder. I love his character, misunderstood yet sensitive inside. :))

Last but not least...
My Franz. Cute. Need I say more?

That house on the hills

My room is facing a certain hill. For ages I've been wondering what hill is that, filled with huge mansions hidden in foliages and forests. Beautiful mansions, abandoned looking except one.

This one exception doesn't look abandoned to me. It even has canopies in front of the house, and sometimes there would be a lot of people coming and going to that particular house. One night, around 7, I looked out of the window and to my surprise there's flashes of light coming from that very house.

The house have the word "kenduri" all over it. And it never ends.

My mom came last month and I always found her spying on that particular house. She suddenly asked me, "Adik, tempat tue Bukit Segambut kan?". I shrugged because I have no idea, and I couldn't care less if that house is situated on Bukit Segambut. The thing that bugs me is why that house is having kenduri every day?

But suddenly the house was left abandoned started from last week. The white canopy haven't been removed, but there's no signs of life from that bungalow.

Ah ha! The kenduri have ended!

How naive I was. Of course there's no sign of life. Because all of it's inhibitants have gone to Penang. My sis said with confidence.

Finally I knew. My mom has a theory. That that particular house we've been puzzling about belong to a VVIP. Bukit Segambut? DSAI lives there. Tada!

No proof, but it's still a possibility.

Who's house is it? Take a look and guess!!

Food poisoning

Last Wednesday, I ate a big breakfast of mee goreng mamak from the stall next to the Segi College Nursing Faculty near Jalan Pudu. A lot of people went there to eat, so hell, I thought, meybe the food is great. So I ate a whole plate of mee goreng, and I have to admit, although it's a bit oily, it taste great!
So after that I went to work. After an hour I feel a bit sick to my stomach. Oh no, I thought to myself. Diarhhea again? I got a weak stomach....:((
Then this wave of dizziness washed over me like tsunami waves. And when I finally got to the toilet, guess what happened? I puked all over the toilet bowl. Ewww. I quickly called my sis to pick me up. I went to wait for her and my stomach cramped a lot and all the mee goreng came out. Disgusting.
So I went home early....and guess what....that mee goreng mamak gave me food poisoning.
The end. An experience I don't care to have a repeat performance, thank you very much.

Morning blurb

This is a first time I witnessed that people that have boarded the monorail train are forced to go out and wait for the next train to come instead. Resulting in cramping in the next train.
I believe there's a miss communication somewhere cause usually if the train is not in service there will be an announcement, and the doors will never open for passenger.
Yeash. I hate crowded public transports.

The 7 Deadly Sins: Sloth

Main article: Sloth (deadly sin)

More than other sins, the definition of sloth has changed considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or despair. It had been in the early years of Christianity characterized by what modern writers would now describe as melancholy: apathy, depression, and joylessness — the last being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world he created. Originally, its place was fulfilled by two other aspects, acedia and sadness. The former described a spiritual apathy that affected the faithful by discouraging them from their religious work. Sadness (tristitia in Latin) described a feeling of dissatisfaction or discontent, which caused unhappiness with one's current situation. When Thomas Aquinas selected acedia for his list, he described it as an "uneasiness of the mind", being a progenitor for lesser sins such as restlessness and instability. Dante refined this definition further, describing sloth as being the "failure to love God with all one's heart, all one's mind and all one's soul." He also described it as the middle sin, and as such was the only sin characterised by an absence or insufficiency of love. In his "Purgatorio", the slothful penitents were made to run continuously at top speed.

The modern view of the vice, as highlighted by its contrary virtue of zeal or diligence, is that it represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts. For example, a student who does not work beyond what is required (and thus fails to achieve his or her full potential) could be labeled slothful.

Current interpretations are therefore much less stringent and comprehensive than they were in medieval times, and portray sloth as being more simply a sin of laziness or indifference, of an unwillingness to act, an unwillingness to care (rather than a failure to love God and his works). For this reason sloth is now often seen as being considerably less serious than the other sins, more a sin of omission than of commission.

The South American animal sloth was named after this sin by Roman Catholic explorers.

Well this sin describe me quite well :P

Blurbs

Hey even my boss confessed to me he's feeling sleepy. I wish I could tell him ," Yeay! I feel that way since the moment I step inside this office!". Instead I told him, "I could be the air cond's too cold,". Such a lame response. :P

August...September....October...November...Disember...

Where have all the time go?

After going through all the motions in my mundane life I found myself stuck in a rut...and no matter how hard I struggle I'll never get out of it again...and look...year 2009 is around the corner lurking...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting onlookers.

Like me.

2009....i'm getting way older...my life is getting way out of the tracks. And i have no idea how to get it back again. How? I'm old, where all my peers are set in life I still have no purpose in life. What is my purpose? Am I supposed to grow old and die without achieving anything in life? Cause that's where i'll end up...if i can't change myself, now, right now.

But you know what? I can't be bothered.

That's the problem with me.

And that's the damocles sword hanging above my sister. My "can't be bothered with anything" attitude just drove her up the walls.

But i also have to mention that anything...no matter how minuscule ...will bother her. Her emotional state is "PMS" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Her emotional yo-yo is to much for me to handle, and it's the caring too much attitude that's way opposite of me really pissed me off.

What can I say.

She annoys me, but I love her. She's my family. And I hope she'll get married soon. At least her emotional ups and down will be controlled. I hope. Or i could just hope she'll unleash all her emotional storm on her spouse instead of poor me.

Heck...I'm feeling down.

Stalkers?? hehee
