i'm definitely getting hooked on the artic monkeys. but, if i ever become a singer(which i know i never will,but regardless of that), i'll make sure every cd i release includes lyrics in the cd cover. Because the highlights of getting a new cd include listening to it for the first time in your car on the drive home, listening to it for the 2nd time as you upload it to your itunes, and lying back on your bed before you go to sleep, listening to the album again while scrutinizing the album cover, checking out who wrote what song as well as singing along to the song BASED ON THE LYRICS PROVIDED IN THE COVER. grr.
oh,oh, check this out, i went to sunway lagoon theme park today with some college friends(luisadamamanweileongshaoatrashparthken) and went on the G-Force!(is that the correct name?yeah.whatever). for those who don't know, the G-force is that thing where you sit in this half-sphere contraption, with elastic ropes attached to these two poles, and what they do is launch you up, i mean literally shooting you into the air. sort of like the slingshot/lastik concept. i knew there was one at kl tower, but i had no idea they'd installed it at sunway. it was just an opportunity too good to be missed. haha, yeah man. it's wild. but honestly, it's nowhere near as scary as the solero shot at genting.
shao, we rocked la. we're G-Force veterans :D none of the guys would try it out, which is too bad, but it DOES make us look ten times more macho,haha. thanx for the invite, you snatched me away from the clutches of boredom. and you're right, the artic monkeys cd WAS a good buy.
i realise i am often too harsh when describing SEMASHUR and the years i spent there to other people. everyone's going to start thinking it's hell on earth ke ape, based on my description. so, let's set the record straight.
1.semashur has a pretty campus, surrounded by beautiful scenery, really a perfect tranquil place to provide a conducive environment for studying(this sounds very promo-ad-like, but it's true). plus, semashur provided the environment, the teachers, and the conditions that allowed me to get straight As.
2. while i studied there, during the early years there were a lot of utility problems, like water and electrical problems, which really tainted my perception of the school, but back then the school was still practically brand new, so as the years passed by, the kinks were worked out.
3. while i stand firm by my comments about the mentality and the atmosphere of the school, which i think more or less affected my self-esteem and confidence, that doesn't mean that it was a place that totally brainwashed me and made me into a hooligan ke ape. semashur taught me plenty of stuff, spiritually, socially.
4. sometimes, i wonder maybe if it would have been better studying elsewhere and not devoting 5 years to that school. but then i wouldn't have gone through some amazing experiences, like the debate seasons, and hari sukan frenzies, and meeting great friends and some great teachers.
5. pendek kate, i say a lot of times that i don't like the time i spent at semashur. but usually that perception is tainted by all the bad experiences i've had there, that it blocks out my memories of all the GOOD experiences, and therefore that perception is unfair. i mean, if it was THAT bad, i wouldn't have stuck it out for all those years. right? the good things made me stay on. so...yeah. i may say that i dislike the way semashur has had a negative impact on me, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any good effects. there were plenty, and i highly appreciate them.
this may sound weird, but yesterday i watched 'Never Been Kissed' again on astro, and for some reason Drew Barrymore's character Josie was so irritating that i wanted to slap her. yeah. it's hormones. i don't usually resort to physcial violence, hah. The movie just seemed so awful(much more awful than the last time i watched it). 'Ever After' and '50 First Dates' are better, as far as romantic comedies go.
bungee jumping. now there's a thought.

la.. sape lak spanish yg bce blog ko ateqs? ko kenal? huhu. yeah, i had a rough start at semashur. so if possible i dont want to remember the rough start. but the ending was ok. at least i can hold onto the good memories. thinking back was just nice. but it cant be all soo great and flashy kan. oh well, u reminds me of semashur again. i only know artic monkey from my house mate here. she hears it a lot. if not i wudnt even care whether there is such band or not. no.. i mean, i wudnt even noe that arctic monkey exist. maybe coz its not the main stream perhaps. dunno.
bungee jumping is for if you want to try suiciding urself falling off a building. i wud want to try, but not that eager. oh wells. you now i can see whose update their blog n blogger or in anywhere just from mydesktop? its some google desktop thing. haha. akoo pun x tau cnne leh jdi cntu.
rodrigo!buenos diaz!
pegi letak some ad kat sini apesal? must have been some automated response thing or whatever. bleah. dahla aku tak faham langsung. sekian.
anna:ntah siape tah. i checked out the website linked there, something about t-shirts or what. but i can't understand anything!
betul kate ko,anna, memories can't all be great and flashy.yeah. just hold on to the good times!
artic monkeys rock!tak nak try dgr their new album :) haha, bungee jumping sounds crazy kan? free-falling to the earth with no safety contraption except some elastic rope tied around your legs. that's just..gile. but i think we should be gile enough to try it at least once.
hey, the google desktop thing sounds useful. takyah asik gi page org tu to check whether they've updated.
Long live semashur!!
For the good and the bad and the thing in between!
ps:Sorry for the less than useful comments,Still caught in the exam frenzy,though my fingers are itching to blog and read others'
no such thing as a useless comment unless ur that chap rodrigo up there :p
anyways, no worries aijud, just one more paper!persevere and soon enough u'll be free to do whatever.
it's Arctic Monkeys. heheh.
I salute you for riding on the GForce. Great nonexistent balls you have. Haha.
oh God, typo-errors memalukan! seriously, don't underestimate my spelling skills just yet,heh.
you should try out the G-force too! it's fun, really. it's waaaay less scarier than you think. it doesn't require any balls, for that matter, just a leap of daringness, and a friend who's game enough to do it with u.
hmm.maybe that's actually the same thing. you need to have balls, and a friend who has balls too :p haha, either way, i think you should try it at least once.
