Marley & Me

So, yesterday I went to KLCC with my sister and watched "Marley & Me". For the first time there is another show other than Jay Chou's "Secret" that could make me cry. It's a true story that tells of a yellow Labrador dog named Marley (named after legendary reggae singer Bob Marley) who was adopted by then newly-weds John and Jenny Grogan as a puppy and spent 13 years with them. While it was John's idea to get Marley for Jenny in order to prepare her for motherhood, they get more than they bargained for when they realize Marley is more than an ordinary dog, being hyperactive and difficult to control. They also learnt valuable life lessons from Marley in the process. Although this show is labelled as a comedy, the ending is far more serious and makes us take a hard look at ourselves and our lifes. It also struck deep in me that we can actually learn a thing or two from animals, although they cannot think for themselves. But what I don't understand is, why did all my sad memories and troubles from the past few weeks came flooding along while watching it. All in all, I would give this show a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5.

What A Joke!

Yes, what a joke. Take a look at the picture below:

I took this picture at Carrefour Sri Petaling today. Some "genius" put this MINI Cooper toy cars (circled in red) in a freezer with the ice-cream tubs. Really, when I saw this scene I ask myself, "Since when did toy cars would melt and need to be put into freezers?"

8th March

Boy! Time do fly, doesn't it? Now do I realize it's 8th of March today, my birthday. As I look back at last year, it seems like my 15th year was a memorable year indeed. I had so much fun with my friends, going to Genting for a trip at the year end, then travelling down to Singapore for a Christmas holiday. After that there's something that I thought I'd never learn in my whole life: jealousy. Yes, seriously, I have never been able to feel jealousy at all before this. I can make others feel it, but not myself. But hey, that was just last week. It's different now, and I need to adapt myself to this new feeling. It's not easy to learn a new feeling. And there's the day I went out with her (my dearest girlfriend) and the day we first held hands together... Oh! There's just too much to write on here. Now I wish myself a crazy happy birthday here. Hope this year will be another good year for me.

A Very Funny Video

This one is called "Football Comedy". It's a collection of football's funniest and weirdest moments ever recorded. Enjoy the video.

I FOUND IT!!

YEAH!!! I finally found the Panasonic phone ad that was used with the 晴天 song. Here's the ad:

Heath Ledger Wins At 2009 Oscars Awards

The late Australian actor Heath Ledger's portrayal of Batman's evil genius psychopath arch-nemesis the Joker in The Dark Knight, who shot to fame in the Ang Lee-directed 2006 hit movie Brokeback Mountain, has won the 'Best Supporting Actor' award at the 2009 Oscars Awards on Sunday night. The win makes Ledger the second actor to win posthumously, which came exactly 13 months after his death from an accidental overdose of drug prescription. His Oscar was accepted by his parents and sister on behalf of the actor's three-year-old daughter, Matilda. "I have to say this is ever so humbling, just being amongst such wonderful people in such a wonderful industry," said his father, Kim Ledger. "We'd like to thank the academy for recognising our son's amazing work, Warner Bros., and Christopher Nolan in particular for allowing Heath the creative license to develop and explore this crazy Joker character." Since his death, the 28-year-old Ledger has gained a mythic aura akin to James Dean, another rising star who died well before his time. The Joker was his final completed role, a casting that initially drew scorn from fans who thought Ledger would not be up to the task given Jack Nicholson's gleefully campy rendition of the character in 1989's Batman. In the months before Ledger's death, buzz on his wickedly chaotic performance swelled as marketing for the movie centered on the Joker and the perverted clown make-up he hid behind. Ledger's death fanned a frenzy of anticipation for the movie, which had a record US$158.4 million opening weekend last summer. Ledger has also won a Golden Globe for the same category 3 months ago.

Incomplete - Backstreet Boys

Empty, spaces, fill me up with holes,
Distant, faces, with no place left to go,
Without you, within me,
I can't find no rest,
Where I'm, going, is anybody's guess...

I tried...
To go on like I never knew you,
I'm awake..., but my world is half asleep...,
I prayed..., for this heart to be unbroken...,
But without you all I'm going to be is...
Incomplete.....

Voices, tell me, I should carry on...,
But I am, swimming, in an ocean all alone,
Baby, my baby,
It's written on your face,
You still, wonder, if we made a big mistake.....

I tried...
To go on like I never knew you,
I'm awake..., but my world is half asleep...,
I prayed..., for this heart to be unbroken...,
But without you all I'm going to be is...
Incomplete.....

I don't mean to drag it on,
But I can't seem to let you go,
I don't wanna make you face this world alone.....
I wanna let you go alone.....

I tried...
To go on like I never knew you,
I'm awake..., but my world is half asleep...,
I prayed..., for this heart to be unbroken...,
But without you all I'm going to be is...
Incomplete.....

Incomplete.....

Inconsolable - Backstreet Boys

I close the door,
Like so many times, so many times before,
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor,
I wanna let you walk away tonight,
Without a word...

I try to sleep, yeah,
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me,
A thousand more regrets unraveling..... ohh.....,
If you were here right now I swear I'd tell you this...

Baby
I don't wanna waste another day,
Keeping it inside it's killing me cos,
All I ever wanted comes right down to you,
To you...
I wish that I could find the words to say,
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave,
I'm inconsolable...

I climb the walls, yeah,
I can see the edge, but I can't take the fall,
No
I've memorized the number,
So why can't I make the call?
Maybe cause I know you'll always be with me.....

In the possibility.....

Baby
I don't wanna waste another day,
Keeping it inside it's killing me cos,
All I ever wanted comes right down to you
To you...
I wish that I could find the words to say,
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave,
I'm inconsolable...
Ohh..... no, no no.....

I don't wanna be like this,
I just wanna let you know,
Cos everything that I hold in,
Is everything I can't let go.....
(Can't let go....., yeah...)

Cos BABY.....

I don't wanna waste another day,
Keeping it inside it's killing me cos,
All I've ever wanted comes right down to you (to you),
To you (TO YOU)
I wsih that I could find the words to say,
Baby I will tell you everytime you leave,
I'm inconsolable.....
Ho... whoa.....

Don't you know it baby?
I don't wanna waste another day.

I wish that I could find the words to say,
Baby I will tell you everytime you leave,
I'm inconsolable...,
Yeah... hey... yeah.....

Oh...,
I'm inconsolable...
I'm inconsolable.....

The Last Promise

Remember the promise that I made to you?
That I'll never leave you no matter how tough the going gets?
That is one promise that I cannot break,
For that I had sworn to God,
That I will never ever leave you,
And my feelings for you will never change,
As no one can replace you in my heart.
Then just like the necklace that I tried giving to you,
There is a vital missing piece in me,
That I tried to find,
Then I realized,
That the missing piece is you.
Everytime I tried to talk to you,
You would react coldly to what I say,
Or never have the time to even listen,
But there is one thing that I want to do badly,
Is that to tell you face-to-face,
That I love you forever,
And this fact will never change anymore.

How?

I'm sorry, my dear. I don't know how to face you. I wondered if I made a mistake in saying "Yes" to your question a few days back. Now my life is in ruins, missing you like never before...

Sonnet I.F

If everything seems to pass by ever so quickly
It would be my time to slow down then
If I am given a wish to make
I would wish to be with you forever, sharing all your joy and pain
If I am given a chance to correct my wronged past
I would jump at the opportunity instantly
If I am to say one thing to you from the bottom of my heart
I would say "I love you forever, never letting you go..."
Because the last thing I would ever want to do
Is something that could hurt you or even separate us both
No matter what happens, be it good or bad
I will never leave your side and we shall brave through challenges together
Differences between us shouldn't matter
As there are no perfect human beings after all

The Many Faces OF K.I.T.T

I have managed to recreate the "Knight Rider 2008" car, the Knight Industris Three Thousand or K.I.T.T in short (based on the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR) in my "Need For Speed: Undercover" game for all three guises, the normal "Hero mode" car and the 2 "Attack mode" cars, one from the pilot movie and the other from the series.

Happy Day

Today's a happy day. I don't know why. Probably it's because I have solved my greatest piece of school problem puzzle and getting some compliments from Pn. Goh herself after our Scripture Union meeting. Oh yeah, and there's that necklace I gave to my sweetheart as our anniversary gift. I thought I might never have the chance or time to even give it to her, but I managed to do so and I cannot be any happier today.

Rewind Back Yesterday...

Yes, rewind back to class yesterday. Jeremy brought his camera to school and took many pictures in class with it. Here's some I grabbed from his blog, all mostly has been edited and photoshopped:

Man, I looked so busy...









Would you mind to see how Mun Jack (circled in red) "posed" for this picture? HAHAHA!!!!!









Everyone's really enjoying themselves when this picture was taken because the teacher who was supposed to come in wasn't here yesterday. WOOHOO!!!

Different...

I felt so... weird today. Was it because she went back before me and I waited there for half-an-hour not knowing she had already left? Probably. Was it because I walked under today's heavy rain just reminded me of so many sad memories from the music video of 晴天 and its lyrics? Could be one of the reasons. Or was it because Brandon was singing 不能说的秘密 and it brought memories of the sad scenes from the movie? It could be one of the reasons as well. Is this what the saying "Enjoy today, suffer tomorrow" means?
