hey guys, ignore my latest entry. posting it for a friend.

Hey!

I won four tickets to the Sepang Circuit Japan GT Championship Malaysia off hitz.fm recently. My family'll be outta town that week, most unfortunately, so we won't be able to go. T.T

Anyway, I'm selling the tickets now, and my mom wants me to get them off my hands as soon as possible, so if any of you out there have brothers are uncles or dads or cousins or are interested themselves in watching this annual event, BUY BUY BUY!

RULES:

1) First off, this is a SALE, NOT an auction.

2) It's on a first come, first serve basis. But, if there's more than one person who is interested in the same item, it will automatically become an auction; you will have to place in your highest/best offer. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BACK OUT ONCE YOU'VE PLACED AN ORDER/BID. Please don't be fickle-minded, so check through the item(s) carefully and thoroughly. Therefore, I don't do refunds, return and exchange policy, unless for whatever reason you can't get in to watch the event, in which case I need blatant, explicit proof you couldn't get in.

3) I live in Seremban, so unfortunately meet ups are a bit inconvenient. I will send the tickets to you via Pos Laju once I've recieved payment. I will NOT be responsible for any lost/damaged items once it's in the system. I will bear the cost of postage if you buy the tickets before the 21st. After that, buyers bear shipping cost.

4) Payment is to my Maybank account.

5) If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or e-mail me at sc3ptic_believer@yahoo.com.

6) Lastly, thanks for reading, and please leave feedback if you guys buy anything. :)

Thanks!

i realise finally i'm crap at updating my livejournal. i almost feel bad. anyway, i'm feeling depressed.

i think i shall go and slit my wrists now.

there was a time, a few months ago, when i was a self-proclaimed livejournal addict. i prided myself in being able to go online everyday just to journal-surf and update my blog at least once a week. at the time, i had my beloved adobe photoshop and imageready as well, so i spent hours designing icons and poring over journals and sites with brilliant tutorials so i could be oh-so-cool too.

but time does what it does, and soon, my spm trials came about, coupled with my actual spm a month later, which for your information ended a good three weeks ago, on december 2nd. i was busy studying (hahaha) and reading up on things i once thought as necessary as the human appendix, but for some reason, now find strangely amusing.

and my computer crashed, somewhere around that time, so much so i lost all my files, images and documents; together with my programs, including photoshop and imageready. being the lazy ass that i am, i have yet to purchase illegal cds at my local pasar malam so i have yet to re-install these things. i will soon (as i've told myself since september. i now completely agree with my mom when she says i'm one helluva procrastinator).

i also recently discovered the fun of blogging on friendster. i'm kinda lifeless that way, because i now have two blogs. oh well. i've been updating there quite frequently as of late, what with my spm done and over with. my posts are, for the most part, angsty and critical, which really doesn't present much difference when compared to my blog here. if, for some godforsaken reason you wish to view my blog on friendster, let me know and will post the link.

ben says i post there because i'm an attention whore. we argued about this at night a few days ago and i was too lazy to rebut. maybe i am. tooooooo bad.

anyway, after going through some friends' blogs, i realised how much i miss it here. at least we can fucking cut-and-paste. try it on friendster and you'll cry. i miss being hopelessly devoted to my computer screen and icon-making and cool options you have on lj, like the ability to write out music and select a mood (whee-ness, my friends).

i totally have to work on my layout though. at least i now have something to do while waiting to be carted off to national service in port dickson next sunday! *gasp gasp gasp*

forgive me if i'm totally behind on what your lives have been like lately. will catch up soon enough and we can continue being the weirdly close-knit lj family that we are.

so yeah. in the immortalised words of tyra banks on the channel [v] america's next top model commercial :

i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! *smirk-strut*

ALSO : Happy Birthday, Ben! You're officially OLD. I guess. Hope you had/have a good one. Will get you a posh present. Hahaha.

i just watched lindsay lohan's new video - "first".

she so resembles a stick - it's actually scary.

i'm not sure if I should feel grossed out...or inspired.

i just came back from an interesting journey.

i drove my mommy's car for the first time. it's a bloody toyota unser. like, a huge mini-van. (oxymoron!) but yeah, anyway. my dad came home from kuala lumpur, and he looked at me on the couch (twas reading jane eyre), and said, "hey, let's drive."

and that was it. he took me to some garden nearby, and then let me take over. i. actually. drove.

today i learned how to:

a) drive down a straight road.
b) use the signals!
c) stop at the junctions. (amir failed his first driving test for failing to do this.)
d) reverse. (i did this ten times.)
e) make u-turns.
f) turn the headlights off/on (i didn't know where they were before this.)
g) look left and right before turning.
h) learn how to use the mirrors.
i) make inappropriate hand gestures.

my dad didn't let me drive any faster than 20km/h. which was pretty lame, when you think about it. but since this was my first time behind the wheel (daytona, wrc not included), i suppose it was okay. i was pretty freaked to tell you the truth. how the heck do you people drive 12 times my speed?! nuts.

but, i survived.

can't wait till december. then again, maybe i can.

i remember watching a few episodes of the hitz.tv battle of the bands competition last year, aptly named "blastoff". the only things i remembered about the show was that ian (the host) was pretty cute, that we had some reasonably good a capella bands in malaysia, and that i always ended up flipping away pretty quickly, fearing it would be another akademi fantasia rip-off.

but, i was listening to hitz.fm a while ago, and was pleasantly surprised to hear a song called girl, by our very own frequency cannon, winners of the competition. so yeah, hats off to you guys, you're amazing. it's now one of my fave songs. go listen to it at www.fcannon.com. it's actually pretty damn good. here, children. lyrics.

[SONG]
girl
frequency cannon

every morning when i look around i try
to find the face that i saw inside my dreams
my dreams last night

and every morning i see an empty room
full of memories i wish would vanish soon
‘cause it hurts me so

and like a dream an angel came my way
she gave me hope and a smile on my face
and i’d like to tell her that she means a lot
to me

alley girl you drive me crazy
like the wind that blows a soft cool breeze
alley girl you are the first star in my sky
i hope to see you ‘til i die

when you came like a wave that swirls and turns
you taught me things that i never thought i’d learn
about me

how can i ever think of hurting you
my angel baby that came out of the blue
skies above

you know its true that me and you
will always stick like paper to glue
that's why i’d like to sing this song to you
sing to you

alley girl you drive me crazy
like the wind the blows a soft cool breeze
alley girl you are the first star in my sky
i hope to see you till i die

alley girl you drive me crazy
like the wind the blows a soft cool breeze
alley girl you are the first star in my sky
i hope to see you till i die

you drive me crazy, you drive me crazy, alley girl

[/END SONG]

don't worry. i question the use of "alley girl" too.

i've had so many perceptions of mine that were once so adamantly set in stone, completely shaken these past few weeks. i've been so busy, i've forgotten to take the time to sit down and smell the roses and care about the things i should care about. i've managed to fool myself into believing that what i've been working so hard for, what i've been giving up sleep and rest and food and family for, is all worth it. but it's not. i've been chasing the wrong thing.

i've been human.

[FAN GIRLINESS]
i am now in love with the song "collide" by howie day. argh. i've never liked a song this much. it rocks. it's great. and i know i'm rambling. but it's the best.

oh, and i get to be all fan-girly and squirly, and such and post lyrics to this song and, yeah. hee.

now i promote this song, like whoa. go download it. and listen. and spread the love.

collide
howie day

the dawn is breaking
a light shining through
you're barely waking
and i'm tangled up in you
yeah

i'm open, you're closed
where i follow, you'll go
i worry i won't see your face
light up again

even the best fall down sometimes
even the wrong words seem to rhyme
out of the doubt that fills my mind
i somehow find
you and i collide

i'm quiet you know
you make a first impression
i've found i'm scared to know i'm always on your mind

even the best fall down sometimes
even the stars refuse to shine
out of the back you fall in time
i somehow find
you and i collide

don't stop here
i lost my place
i'm close behind

even the best fall down sometimes
even the wrong words seem to ryhme
out of the doubt that fills your mind
you finally find
you and i collide

you finally find
you and i collide
you finally find
you and i collide

ze comic version :

so, evadne_noel, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend wrote this hilarious parody to star wars 3 : revenge of the sith. this is really, really funny.

CLICK THIS

some spoilers :


OBI-WAN contacts R2-D2, but forgot to turn the radio down from its BROADCAST-TO-THE-ENTIRE-WORLD setting.

OBI-WAN
*over radio*
Artoo, can you hear me? Is this joke funny yet?

R2-D2
EEEEEEEEEEE-eeeeeeee!!
(Shutupshutupshutup!!)


INT. FORWARD COMMAND OR WHATEVER

SENATOR PALPATINE
Ah, hello, Jedi. Nice of you to drop by. I’ve just
been here, spinning in my chair. If you give it a good
push, you can go around ten times before it stops.

COUNT DOOKU
Kenobi, Skywalker. You shall not escape me this time.
Not that you did last time either.

ANAKIN
Why do I have to wear the heavy black leather, and Obi-Wan
gets to wear the light colored robes?

OBI-WAN
Because Lucas likes obvious symbolism. Whine about it later.
We can handle Dooku. Sith Lords are our specialty.

PALPATINE
I’m sorry, how many have you faced? Didn’t you both
get your sorry butts kicked by a Sith Lord last time you
faced one? And wasn’t it this Sith Lord?

Once again, OBI-WAN is taken down FAIRLY EASILY by COUNT DOOKU.

ANAKIN
I’ll take him down then. I’m the bestest Jedi ever!

PALPATINE
Kill him.

ANAKIN
Uh, I don’t think you’re qualified to make that decision.
And it’s a little creepy that you’re suggesting it to me.

PALPATINE
Yeah, but you really want to.

DOOKU
See my big puppy dog eyes? You don’t want to kill me.

ANAKIN
The Jedi Order does say… ah, screw it.


INT. SHIP’S BRIDGE

GENERAL GRIEVOUS
Seriously, what is this accent? Am I Russian? Czech? Bulgarian?

OBI-WAN
We have a history that can only be revealed if the
Audience buys the Clone Wars DVD!

GRIEVOUS
I’ll take your lightsabers and add them to my collection…of two.

ANAKIN
Wow, vast.

They CANOODLE.

ANAKIN
No one must know of our secret love!

AUDIENCE
Then maybe it should be conducted indoors.

PADME
It will be harder to hide now, snugglewoogums. I’m pregnant.

ANAKIN
Wait. How long have I been away?

INT. OFFICE OF YODA: PI

ANAKIN
Master, why don’t you open the venetian blinds?

YODA
Premonitions you’ve been having, mmm?

ANAKIN
I’m afraid someone I love will die.

YODA
Rejoice you should when someone rejoins the Force.
Buy a cake, invite some friends, do the limbo, yes.

INT. JEDI COUNCIL ROOM

MACE WINDU
Okay, Anakin. You can hang around with the adults if
you sit quietly, mind your manners and promise not
to eat all the cookies. Also, you’re not a Master.

ANAKIN
Why not? I’m a whiny little bastard forced on you by the
Chancellor! I deserve to be a Master!

OBI-WAN
Anakin, I think I speak for everyone everywhere when I
say: shut the hell up. You’re on the freakin’ Council.

YODA
Across the galaxy we all must go. Far away from the situation
I must be. To the Wookies I go. Appease the fanboys, I will.

OBI-WAN
Anakin, I’m going to find General Grievous. But before
I go, I must put you in an awkward position. We
need you to spy on the Chancellor.

ANAKIN
Oh, great. Look, I’m not 007. I don’t like this.

OBI-WAN
Anakin, Palpatine keeps collecting more and more power with
no intention to give it up. Doesn’t this seem suspicious to you?

They FIGHT. It is divided into TWO SCENES because DIRECTOR GEORGE LUCAS likes to take the DRAMA out of things.

GRIEVOUS
Now, Kenobi, I shall keeeeeeeeeel you.



PALPATINE
Anakin, I can teach you the Dark Side.

ANAKIN
Holy shit! You’re evil!

PALPATINE
Yes. I’ve been saying so for years.

INT. COURASCANT

ANAKIN and PADME have the most romantic scene in
the movie. Why? NO TALKING. In fact, their expressions are so emotive,
you can almost hear their thoughts…

PADME
*thinking*
Oh, Anakin. I’m so afraid you’re pushing me away
when all I want to do is help you with your internal struggle
between your loyalty to the Council and to Palpatine.

ANAKIN
*thinking*
Hey, I can see my house from here.

ANAKIN attacks MACE, giving PALPATINE an opening.

PALPATINE
Ultimate POWER!

MACE
Dude, it’s just lightning. Get over it.
*dies*

PALPATINE
Okay, boy. You’re evil now.

ANAKIN
I guess so.

PALPATINE
You have a problem with that?

ANAKIN
Not really, no. I’m just curious. If I become evil, will I
eventually develop a big forehead canyon like you?

PALPATINE
Not necessarily.

ANAKIN
Okay then.

PALPATINE
You will now be known as Darth Vader – the only Sith
without a stupid name. Now go kill a bunch of people
for me. The Ultimate Power is very tiring.

PALPATINE contacts every CLONE COMMANDER in the galaxy.

PALPATINE
Execute order 66.

AUDIENCE
What were the other 65 orders?


EXT. LEAST HOSPITABLE PLANET IN THE UNIVERSE

SEPARATISTS
Can we come home now, Palpatine? The constant fire
and darkness is kind of depressing, and our air conditioner
stopped working ten days ago.

PALPATINE
Don’t worry, my new apprentice is coming to take care
of you. Ahahahahahaha!

SEPARATISTS
Well, that didn’t sound ominous at all.

EXT. GREEN HOUSE OF LUV

OBI-WAN
Padme, Anakin’s evil. You have to tell me where he is.

PADME
No! All those pro-dictatorship statements, the killing of Sand People,
the obsession with keeping me alive: I ignore these things!

OBI-WAN
Anakin’s your baby daddy, isn’t he?

PADME
How could you know?

OBI-WAN
Well, he lusted after you all last movie, you’re mysteriously
pregnant, and your mail comes to the same address as Anakin’s.

PADME
Revealed by the Post Office!

OBI-WAN jumps on a HILL.

OBI-WAN
There. I win.

ANAKIN
You underestimate my ability to jump real high.

No, HE DOES NOT.

ANAKIN becomes PRESIDENT of the SEVERED LIMBS
OF STAR WARS CLUB. Then, he catches on FIRE, and it is worse than ¾ of
the things seen in SIN CITY.

AUDIENCE
Holy God. What is this movie rated?

OBI-WAN
I’ll just be going now.

AUDIENCE
CUT HIS HEAD OFF, ASSHOLE!

OBI-WAN
I said I didn’t want to kill him.


MEDICAL DROIDS assemble the DARTH VADER jigsaw puzzle. It’s kinda GROSS. And yet, VERY COOL.

AUDIENCE
Ouch. How does that not chafe? Or debride?
And, yay for James Earl Jones!

DARTH VADER
Where is my wife? What happened to Padme?

PALPATINE
Umm, son. Oh, this is harder to say than I thought it would be.
You killed her. Killed her dead. She’s among the angels now.

DARTH VADER starts to explode things with his ANGER. The DRAMA looks good.

But, LO, the STUPID is never far behind.

DARTH VADER breaks free from the operating table.

PALPATINE
It’s ALIVE!

EXT. SPACE

A FAMILIAR SHAPE is being formed at a giant CONSTRUCTION SITE.

PALPATINE
What should we call it?

DARTH VADER
Something stupid.


alright, so i put in like, half of the parody. i couldn't help it. it's bloody funny. go read. the one in bold was my fave.

i hate moral.

best lines, in no particular order.

tony to family after getting whacked on the head by dad.
"Would you lay off the hair? I worked on my hair for a long time and you hit my hair...he hit my hair!"

tony and gang, talking to stephanie.
"You know who came in today? This guy, David Bowie. He comes in in his astrakhan coat."
"He's a faggot."
"A half-faggot."
"You mean he's a bisexual?"
"Yeah, he swings both ways. Men and boys."

tony to his father after he disses tony's raise
"I don't see anyone giving you a raise down at unemployment!"

annette, speaking to tony
"I was thinking Tony, maybe I'll make it with you."
"That's what you call thinking?"

tony's dad, after finding out tony get's a four dollar raise
"Four dollars? You know what four dollars buys today? It don't even buy three dollars!"

so i just finished watching the uncensored version of saturday night fever. uncensored?, i hear you say, isn't SNF only the most innocent show, like, ever? isn't SNF the clean show with a much thinner, hotter john travolta? isn't SNF so painfully sweet, babies die of diabetes after watching it?

hmm. let me think about it. wait. wait. wait.

HELL NO.

i can't believe i sat through two hours of that. here, have a checklist. it has everything in the movie i found interesting. :

saturday night fever checklist

1. sex. lots of it. in a car. in the house. on the bridge, the san francisco one. more sex in the car? ooh, there too. orgy. taking turns having sex. the girls were pretty pathetic, actually. and cheap. hah. not even cheap. FREE. seriously, i think the society in this movie was very much like our parents' generation. according to asiaweek, the world suffered had a major population increase around the time SNF was released. so my theories are, 1) the movie's pretty damn accurate in depicting life back then; or 2) people were inspired after watching the movie. and the sex. about 86545168421 times.

2. swear words, enough to make bluedurian cry. i never knew the word "fuck" could be used so many different ways. example : fuck you/me/the world/the future (am using phrases they really said), fucktard, fuckhead (who would've thought they had these words thirty years ago?), fuckling, fucker, fucked up. there were more, but a lot more, uh, tame.

3. pornography? oh yeah, they had a lot. two strip scenes - so now i know what happens in strip clubs. and at least the lady had a nice enough body. i know what to do when i'm having trouble in biology now. ooh. watch SNF. i think i got to see some woman's assets (so did half the world, i suppose) for at least 45 seconds. not that i was counting or anything.

4. suicide and homosexuality. though i don't think bobby (barry miller) was trying to kill himself or have sex with tony. you see, after raping his girlfriend and annette (donna pescow), another idiot girl, he got high on speed, and jumped off the san francisco bridge. i suppose he didn't really, y'know, jump. but he did fall to his death. i think bobby was gay too. seriously. he actually went to the bridge because he was upset, or something like that. wanna know why he was upset? i'll tell you. because tony (john travolta) didn't call him the night before. like, wtf?

5. also, stupid, unnecessary things. another friend, gus (bruce ornstein), got beaten up by some gangsters, no idea who. so, he bitches about them to tony and gang, and tony, being the hero he is, decides to go beat those thugs up. so they do sans gus, and proceed to whack up the barracudas - some spaniards. [i know, i know - i question the relevance too. apparently, tony and gang are a bunch of rednecks. they hate spaniards, they hate african americans, and they hate homosexuals. *gasp* what about bobby?!] moving on, they go to gus, who's in the hospital, to gloat about them being testosterone-y. and then...

gus : uh, you went to beat up...who?
guys: the barracudas, like, ain't we all like manly? (they're from brooklyn, forgive their non-existent grammar.)
gus : shit.
guys: why man? even though they're like our biggest rivals and will probably kill us tomorrow, we won, we won we won! neener neener neener! like, woot!
gus : no. seriously. shit.
guys: *laugh maniacally* it's not like we got the wrong guys right? it was worth it, man!
gus : well, i, uh...and, uh...
guys: shit.

something like that. argh. it was funny lah. but still.

anyway, i'm going to watch jersey girl now. tata.

...i have a brother with problems with walking. so, i can't help but agree.

I know I've made this my whining blog, hee. Most of my posts have been rather angst ridden, so I promise I'll make a happy post. Soon. In four weeks, cause that's when my godawful exams are over. Bah. Now on to my rant.

It's bad enough my friggin' Mid-Year Examinations are next week, our teachers have decided to screw up our holidays too. *grrboohooroar*

Tomorrow's our Teacher's Day celebration. Like, whoop-de-doo. But as our beloved teachers know we never show up on Teacher's Day (you should've seen the turn out last year - it was sad.), they've decided to put a paper tomorrow.

I was going to take tomorrow off to study Chemistry and History. But no. I have to go to school for a bloody HOUR-LONG paper and sit through FIVE HOURS of hell my teachers performing hell. Bah, humbug. Ooh, and get this. It's a bloody Physical Education paper. We're the only god damn school who even HAS this paper. This written paper.

COME ON! They have an entire chapter on how to detect breast cancer. *dies*

Not only that, (yes, there's more), our teachers have decided to split our examination, so that half of it is before our Mid-Year Holidays, and the remaining half after. Now, in all honesty, that ain't bad - IF IF IF IF IF they had put, say, 5 subjects before the hols, and 5 after. But do they do that? Do the geniuses that manage our school do that? NO! They put all the Subjective Papers before the holidays, and the objective after, which still isn't THAT bad. We'll live. But I HAVE TO STUDY TWICE, because my brain, being faulty as it is, can only retain information for a grand total of 19 seconds.

Did I mention all this studying will go on during my bloody holidays?

Why?

*weeps in agony and continues reading about breast cancer detection*

I'll see you people in a month.

Brother's bedroom. Mom teaching brother. Brother spells "comprehension" wrong.

Mom: What's this? How do you spell comprehension?
Me: My God - how ironic. Spelling "comprehension" wrong! *snickers*
Bro: But I thought it was spelled comprehenTION?
Mom: No lah! It's spelled C-O-M-P-R-E-H-E-N-S-I-O-N.
Bro: But isn't "tion" pronouced as "shen"?
Mom: It is, but so is "sion".
Bro: Oh.
Mom: Think about it. S-I-O-N, like, uh, nation!
Bro: HUH?!?!
Mom: No, wait, uh...
Me: *goes into hysterics*

How classic.

i think i'm in shock.

constantine's out of american idol.

and scott's in the top three.

HUH?!?

i'm frustrated to itty bitty pieces. have tried signing into my Yahoo! account with zero success. first, my operation timed out. then, i typed in an invalid password.

why, Yahoo!, WHY?

I realise I haven't been updating lately. Okay. So, I haven't been updating at all. Haha, oops. But I have a good reason! My bloody exams are just around the corner (like, literally!) -- they're next Monday. Crap. *ahem*

Anyway, I've been uber busy too, and I've a list of things I'm too update on. I have no life. Obviously. My dad recently got Jamie Cullum's album for me (yay!), and I've been listening to it over and over again. Songs are stuck in my head now, but this is my fave. Just thought I'd share a beautiful song with you guys. Enjoy! ^-^

if you want to
