fat face

i am happy today, because:

a)i saw syahirah!homie from way back in the day,yo.(i have to stop with the whole 'yo' thing)



b)saw a lion dance today! awesome, i-cannot-tahan-excited.


Beirut rocks. i've only listened to three songs, but they(or is it just Zach Condon on his own?)rock.

You know, i often worry that i am a generally disinterested person. i don't seem to be interested in anything in particular. well, yes, there's music, and there's books, and there's lion dances, but nothing i can assuredly say "yes, i am very passionate about this, and i.... (have a black belt in it)/(have been doing it for years)/(train every weekend)/(just love love LOVE it). i'm stumped whenever i have to fill out those "i am interested in" sections in any 'about me' form.

i don't think i can be considered to be interested in much because being interested in something connotes that you've taken steps to delve into that specific activity, does it not? that you've taken things to a further level? i mean, it's the same concept with bands. i don't think i can say i like a band until i've heard and adore at least one album. (well, beirut's an exception because i can tell i'll probably love the whole album once i get the chance to listen to). i can't say i like Cold War Kids because i've only heard 'Hospital Beds' and 'Hang Me Up to Dry', despite the fact i enjoy those two songs very much.

ah well. this is all a very complicated way of explaining the fact that i wish i could say i'm seriously into something exciting, like....molecular something something. or scuba-diving would do too.

je ne veux pas travailler.

i got this excellently cool sweater the other day when i went out with syefik. i brought it home, and showed it to mom. aisy. same response as with the the blue top with polka-dots. but this time it was actually worse, because i saw the direct reaction. that silent pause after i held up the sweater for inspection said it all. haha. no worries. i still love mom. and our diverging fashion senses.

tarik nafas lega kerna aku tak apa-apa

haaaa...can you tell what song that line is from? 2 points if you can.

Waaa dapat jugak tengok lion dance before yu depart to melbourne. One wish granted ei? Make it two since you got a cool sweater as a replacement of that Tiger printed sweater.

YEs, its a cool sweater and I believe that older people hv different fashion sense. Besides, we compared with other sweaters and this one turned out thebest right?

I saw the lion dance on tv.. at 1 utama right? So did you meet the tv3 celebrities? I saw from the program Wanita Hari ini.

1 week before leaving malaysia for good ei? enjoy your last moments.

fatin:haha, nope, salah!nice try tho :p

tulah, jarang nampak lion dance kat rumah la..i've only seen it at a house skali je, when my neighbour moved in.

syef:yezza. it's a cool sweater. gimme five, shopping advisor.

no, didn't see it at ou, i saw kat mid. no celebrities around there :p

aki:hmm..i've never considered writing a passion.. probably because i'm pretty crummy at it :p maybe someday when i actually acquire good vocab and am able to penn concise sentences, i'll call it an interest.
