i'm very sorry if i've been off-kilter. very sorry i haven't been keeping contact. so very sorry.
i think it's a shame that i can't stand cheese(except for pizza and lasagne cheese and cheezels). i think cheese cakes are the prettiest cakes around.
finally have a proper date for AS results, they come out on the 9th of August. i will start worrying on the 8th. I've been a bit busy trying to get the cambridge application together, and, while it has been horrid at times, i'm kinda getting excited at the prospect of applying there. which is bad, since it'll be more of a blow if i don't get in, so i'm trying to temper the enthusiasm.
is it better to be blunt and honest with your opinions, or is it okay to tell white lies if it means reasurring someone else? i suppose some find it more honourable to be unforgivingly truthful in whatever circumstance, reasoning that a white lie just to comfort someone is unfair and might end up hurting them anyway. yeah. i guess that's true. but sometimes, i still wish someone would lie anyway.
i've read the new Harry Potter book, courtesy of Tesco, RM69.90. i won't say anything about it so as not to offend the not-yet-readers, and for those who have, we'll have something to gush about if we meet up, yea?
Thanx to kakak, i have a bunch of new songs to listen to. Belle & Sebastian, people. Listen if you haven't. oh, and hani lent me her Clash cd! i'm now an avid listener. i think it's fantastic!it's a greatest hits album, two cds. if you want to try listening to The Clash, i suggest 'Train in Vain', 'Rock the Casbah', 'London Calling', 'Should i stay or Should i Go'. Good stuff. And, it's cool how they're music actually makes comments on social and political issues.
nani, if you dare leave for canada without telling me your departure date i'll come and haunt yout.
i'm going fishing tomorrow with the family. must.catch.fish.
take a look/listen at this. acappella,yo.
exaggeration and tall tales galore

yeah,white lies is like a double-ended dagger.You'd get hurt either way.
Blunt or subtle?well I guess it depends on the situation.I'd sometimes wish someone would lie to me to protect me from the horrible truth.
Anyways the acapella video is cool!!That's a michael jackson number their doing is it?Cool!!
p/s:Good luck for Cambridge applications.It'd be cool to tell people I have a friend in Cambridge.Amin ya!
nah, i'd like the old fashioned truth or i'll just leave out information that might hurt or damaging.
that doesnt necessarily pass as a lie, no? leaving out information?
heheh. you judge.
yeah ateqs , masok cambridge!
theres a very good acapella group from UC Berkeley called The Men Octets.
they combine flawless notes, original music( vocal) arrangements and comedic performance all into one.they have this significant starting a performane with a harmonica. i bet its tradition. the octets have been around for 50 years.
go check them out in youtube.
i recommend performances like " Not pretty enough", " Bohemian Rhapsody"," Shout", "The Nirvana Medley","Timberlake medley" oh, just watch them all!
but, knowing you ateqs, i reckon you already knew them.
aijud:yeah, it IS a double ended dagger. if someone lied to protect me from the terrible truth, and i found out, maybe i'd be even more mad for having been left in the dark. grr. it's a no win siuation, due to my own fussiness.
yeah, it's 'thriller' by MJ. isn't it awesome?whee!u should check out the other videos of these guys, BYU VocalPoint, in the same competition. semue sedap2 belaka. terrer gile.
thanx for the good luck wish aijud, amin!
nani:haha, no, i don't think leaving out some info is lying. it's just selective truth telling :p
masuk cambridge?amin, amin, and amin to that.
oh yea, i've watched the Men Octets!i liked their rendition of Bohemian Rapsody tu. i read that that song has been in their repertoire since forever. have you watched the Carlton Knights? they're pretty good too, they're choice of songs is cool. they even did 'Harder,stronger,faster,better' by Daft Punk.
but my favourite is still yang BYU vocalpoint ni. mantap! they tend to mash in funny stuff too.
kalau all girl acappella group, i adore this group from UC Berkeley gak, the golden overtones, punye rendition of 'let go' by Frou Frou. have u seen it? who'd have thought lagu tu boleh jadi acapella.
if you go to cambridge, buy me a sweater. and in return, i'll brag you too all the juniors in semashur, and all our batchs, and all people i know that you get into cambrigde!
hows that??
anyways. have faith in yourself. sape lagi nak have faith in you if it's not you? good luck ateqs!
:)
ateqs , i need a favour.
ade download the song 101- albert hammond junior and dear catastrophe waitress- belle and sebastian tak?
i checked multiply and they dont seem to have it.bummer.
please?please? send me by email or msn?
u should be proud now that i have embraced your music.orang takde ares kenelah mintak orang ade ares.
heheh.
anna:awww, thanx anna, betula kate ko. i should have faith in myself. sweater?haha. if i ever get the rezeki to go there, i'd buy u the complete set, sweater, scarves, tie-pins, anything.
nani:albert hammond jr!me likee. ur in luck, i have '101'. but my fav two songs from him are 'bright young thing' and 'in transit', pernah dengar?
as for belle & sebastien, i don't have the song u asked for, sorry, but i have their songs from 'the life pursuit' album. 'White and collar boy' and 'funny little frog' are the best songs on it, i believe. awak nak?
super-fantastic that ur listening to them. embrace it! embrace the music!how about Kings of convenience?my.favourite.musicians. hands.down.
p/s:i'll send the songs real soon, promise.
great! great! i havent heard bright young things but coming from you i'm sure its good. i'm not too sure about about in transit. i dont like it that much.
" white collar boy". that one is A MUST.i already have funny little frog.
you know, i've been listening to kings of convenience and find it a wee bit mellow to my taste.
but maybe i'm listening to the wrong songs.
i would love to have the songs, yes please.
AH DON'T TALK ABOUT RESULTS!!!
