Title: So In Love
Music: 2009
Lyrics: 2009

Short note: I found the inspiration when I was shopping in Jusco last week - ok, whatever - this could mean basically the song is quite meaningless.

Plus I'm lazy, so this song is considered half-done, and hence the title (Partial Demo)

Last but not least, one of my guitar strings was broken, so this song is basically partially done.

Lame but true.

Lyrics:
I can't tell,
What's in my old mind,
Is that my own mind?

You came by,
What's with that surprise,
You used the same old lie.

Now that I see,
You're making me to be ,
Your doggy of your life.

But I know I can't be,
No lean of shoulder from me,
If you choose to be lonely
And don't let me stand by your side.

Do you believe I'm the undercover?
Do you believe that we need one & other.
I can't believe that I'm so in love,
I can't believe that I'm so in love.

I can't find,
The woman for whole life,
I think that they are all white lies.

I can't tell,
What's in my old mind,
Is that my own mind?

You came by,
What's with that surprise,
You used the same old lie.

Now I see,
You're making me,
To be the doggy of your life.

But I know I can't be,
No lean of shoulder from me,
If you choose to be lonely
And don't let me stand by your side.

Do you believe I'm the undercover?
Do you believe that we need one & other.
I can't believe I am so in love,
I can't believe I am so in love.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hopefully can record the song tonight, but one of the guitar strings was broken. Ouch.

I felt my lips and throat a bit dry at about 11.50PM yesterday night - so I went to fridge to grab a can of Coke.

Instead of taking the risk to take high sugar drinks at midnight, I forgot this important thing - it contains bloody caffeine.

End up I slept around 3am.

I managed to finish 10KM in 78 minutes.

I'm lil' surprised by the outcome cos initially I thought I'd use 1 and half hour.

The weather was good because it rained just about 2 hours before the race started - cool breeze was what welcoming the runners.

I thought the race was organised well, except for few things - Why were cars allowed in some area?

There was one round about where the car drivers asked the runners to slow down so that they can go past the road - while the traffic police was not really doing anything.

That was dangerous and frustration were felt among the runners, as marathon means keep going (yah, as if I kept running thru out the whole 10km...)

However, after I reached home, I slept for total of 5 hours - and still felt sleepy after that.

Strangely, on the next day, I felt muscle pain on my shoulders, instead of my legs.

What's the summary of this activity? Fun. And hope that my stamina can get better next year ;)

This guide is for the two ladies, who're gonna be Vienna.

I hope this guide helps. Though I'm not sure if it's too late.

viel Spaß!

DSK will prevail!

My Best Of My Life
歌手：Superfly
作词：越智志帆
作曲：多保孝一

今ここで息をしてみる
私がここにあるように
包まれて生きてるようで
确かなものを 探すのはなぜ

足早に过ぎてく日々も
间违いではないのかな
ちぎれそうな心を背负って
それでも明日を追いかけていく

めぐり逢いの中で见つける
生きてく意味を 育ててみよう
涙は拭い去って
今 始まる (my) best of my life

幸せに浸ることさえ
なんだか怖く感じて
渇いてた心の悲鸣も
気づけないまま 犠牲にした

优しさに包まれたとき
全て美しく见えすぎるの
ただ 全力で生きてる
それだけなのに
どうして人は 后悔を重ねる…

幸せを恐れることな< 谁かの胸に飞び込めたら
涙は风に舞って
爱せるような (my) best of my life

本当は谁かにすがりたくて
ただ 过ぎ去って消えてった
足迹は无駄じゃないと
确かに心の中で生きてる
そんな言叶に
抱きしめられて 眠りにつきたいの

信じながら 许し合いながら
谁かの胸に飞び込めたら
ほほえみと溶け合って
あふれるような (my) best of my life

めぐり逢いの中で见つけた
生きてく意味を育ててみよう
涙は拭い去って
今 始まる (my) best of my life

今 始める (my) best of my life

Chinese Translation:

此刻在这儿试著深呼吸
彷佛我的确是存在的
彷佛被环绕般地活著
为什麼 我还要这样地找寻那确切的事物呢

就算飞逝的日子
应该也不会有错吧
背负著那快要撕裂的心
即使如此我还是追著明日向前

在相逢中发现 生命意义
试著让它开花结果吧
将眼泪拭去
现在 开始 best of my life

就连沉浸在幸福中
还是莫名地感到惶恐
连内心饥渴的叫喊
也不曾注意地牺牲了

在被慈爱包围时
一切全都被过度美化
我只是 全心全意地活下去
就只有这样而已
为什麼 人们 要重覆地后悔?

不惧怕幸福
只要勇敢地投入爱人的怀抱
泪水在风中飞舞
能够去爱的 best of my life

其实好想找个人依靠
不过 却只是白白流逝 消失无踪而已
这些足迹都将不会白费
在我心中一直是存在著的
好想被那般的话语 拥抱著
深深地睡去啊

相互信赖著 相互原谅著
只要能够投入爱人的怀抱
一起溶入微笑中
充满著整个世界 best of my life

在相逢中发现 生命的意义
试著让它开花结果吧
擦去眼泪
现在 开始 best of my life
现在 开始 best of my life

Listen to Demo

Half year's gone.

It's time to execute whatever that's undone, planned earlier this year.

Bad news: 1/2 of the year is gone, bye bye, you can't get it back.
Good news: 1/2 of year is still available.

May the force be with me? LOL

父親就H1N1說了個笑話：

之前，有人從外國回來，大家涌去機場接機。

現在，有人從外國回來，沒人敢去機場接機。

I like this song!

Quite Beatles-que feel - with good voice and melody of course.

It's also the theme song of a Japanese drama BOSS.

I haven't look at the lyrics yet but somehow feel touched by the song.

The big, fat and flat Emoody in front of me

He's one year old now.

His birthday wish is to meet up with his 18 year old uncle - Emoody Sr.

Well, hope that his wish will come true.

*WARNING: SPOILER!!!*

The motive of writing this post is to let all the movie goers to have a quick reference to the robots featured in the movie - either before or after watching it.

Believe me, as mentioned in my movie review - this movie can be confusing. I thought it would be beneficial for you to understand who's fighting with who in the movie.

In fact, I learned a lot about who's who in the movie, after I wrote this post.

If you disagree, please close this post immediately, else, don't wallop me. :P

After reading this post, if you still feel that it's confusing - good luck when you watch the movie.

Source:
i) Wikipedia
ii) Rotten Tomatoes

Verdict: A movie that's exactly what Transformers fans want - massive robots fighting, but normal movie goer will find it confusing.

Imagine, back to back, massive robots fighting - with not much of human involvement (what can they really do with the robots, btw)

I'm not an avid Tranformers fan - but the robots fighting did satisfy me, visually (yeah, more than meets the eyes)

Too much of robots made me confused at some point - it doesn't matter, Autobot will stand still at the end of the day (movie)

Director, Michael Bay delivered what he's good at: big explosive scene with big troops (here it refers to robots) fighting.

After watching the movie, I've one advice: read the wikipedia to understand the movie (most importantly, the characters involved) - this movie is more about visually satisfaction than the plot, you get me? That's why I'm even endorsing the plot reading - else you can't enjoy it 100% during the first watch.

That's why, I'll be giving it a second watch, not until the cinemas start have some free slots.

I can't give a full score because the confusion caused, and this 147 minutes of length (another tip: please go to toilet before the movie starts) could have been shortened.

But what the heck, it's definitely worth a watch in big cinema and I'm definitely gonna watch for second time.

Rating: 8/10

So I watched Transformers 2 in IMAX.

Thoughts?

Well, because the movie is not made + shown in IMAX format, the movie looks like a projected movie (some move-pixel/artifact) can be seen

Sound wise, the bass is good, but the treble part was weak - it wasn't sharp & crisp enough.

No wonder they're selling @ RM11 and business isn't that good.

Not sure if it's only happened to Malaysia's IMAX.

If there's a second chance, I'll watch Tranformers 2 in GSC cinema :)

My sister bought this so I tried it - it's a box of egg tarts that are halal.

While being lard-free, it's still OK to eat.


While the price isn't that cheap (RM9.50 for 6) it's worth a try.

And it's only nice when it's fresh from oven.

Bought it from LG floor of Low Yat Plaza
Rating: 3/5

Verdict: Educational, funny film that's able to give you slight thought about life

I thought this movie isn't bad. It's those kind of one-time-watching movie.

But it was able to make me laugh genuinely - because there's some good (though silly) joke - like Ned talking with headmistress in Elvish language, peacock-ing etc

You can go wiki what's the movie about, but I can summarise it in one sentence:

Life isn't about what happened to you/what decision you made in the past, it's about what you're gonna do next - that really matters.

Rating: 7/10

P/S: Thanks Gary for this movie treat.

H1N1在馬來西亞逐漸嚴重。

我就談起現在機票越來越便宜，人人要去哪里都方便。要控制H1N1真的不容易。

爸：“所以AirAsia不單單是‘現在人人都能飛。。。‘，而且是

‘現在人人都能中。。。‘“

父親一向愛談有關萬字的東西。他甚至有個部落格。

之前有個朋友拜訪他，他也一開口就談萬字。

結果人家誤會他是賭鬼。

媽：“你看，人家說‘三句不離本行’，難怪人家會這樣講你”
爸：“不能怪人家，人家不了解我”（可是他卻讓人誤解他）
媽：“你當時聽到了也是不爽，對不對？”
爸：“這些東西聽了就算了，”

“就像買萬字一樣，如果不中獎，你也不能怪誰”

Verdict: A good movie that deserved the acedemy nominations

This movie tells a true story, about a mother finding her missing son.

The police department was inefficient (or lazy) to diligently find her real son and instead, took a child and claimed that the mother was mentally ill to accept her own son.

The actress Angelina Jolie acted very well. The movie was slightly slow paced (yet, it's a norm for movie that has been academy award-nominated) but it isn't boring.

In fact, it's an interesting watch.

It also gave us a sight on how inefficient were the corrupted cops.

It's not a happy ending (true to the real story) but it's worth a watch.

Rating: 7.5/10

Today is a special day - I watched a movie with friends but I didn't need to pay.

Thanks to Gary.


At first I thought he invited really a lot of people - but it's not. Coincidentally, there's this Transformers 2 premiere happening in Cineplex, Damansara.

There were celebrities and to watch that movie - no camera, laptop or video cam are allowed.

Omg.


While waiting for the cinema to be ready, there's some games happening down there.


Gary booked the cinema for his proposal. The idea is like this, after watching the movie, he'll propose in front of everybody.


BIG Surprise started after the movie ends


The second movie started - the proposal.

FYI, this is the movie that cinema authority legally allowed everybody to take the photo + video of it.


The audience applauded as Chiow Hun said yes


According to eye witnesses, a lot of ladies cried when they saw this - yes, I've gotta admit, this is sweet.


Thanks to technology, Kok Yee was streaming the whole process to their friend, via his 3G phone.


While Sarah helped to film - hopefully there won't be any pirated DVD later


I'm sure everybody was satisfied with this two movies deal.


No camera pls? I dunno, but I think he was preparing for this second attempt on proposal - due to the audience demand.

And on top of that, he was mumbling about his grievance of whatever he faced during the whole day - he had to delete SMSes, block her from accessing the facebook, rejecting many calls to avoid her from getting any tips... etc


Romantic? Hell yes!


Chiow Hun was surprised and happy. It's in the eyes and it's the little thing on her finger that shines.


After the double success, Gary shook hand with everybody, like the big movie star.


And that, is the end of mission - and the end of the movie.

Another new chapter for the couple and congratulation, Gary & Chiow Hun!

And now what, for the guys who haven't get married, we're gonna crack our head for better idea in proposal. WTF.


This is Trevor Thum reporting & signing off.

Inspiration is one of the most abstract thing ever:

you can't explain to people

You can't have it anytime you want it.

It may appear at the wrong time

It may disappear in no time.

Just like this afternoon - I was shopping in Jaya Jusco, a new song with lyrics appeared in my head.

But when I reached home and got excited with the ice cream that I bought - I can't recall this song anymore.

Just like chicken egg - the chick died before it is born.

Knowing that the KL Marathon 2009 is near - I had a run at the lake side for about 25 minutes.

I felt good and guess I should be capable to finish the 10KM this weekend.

It's just one week away - what have I done?

Nothing.

I'm 1KG heavier than before I went to mount KK.

And I had a super fattening lunch today.

Oh, I just hope I can finish that 10KM this coming Sunday

I found an item sold in fast food restaurant that isn't that unhealthy.

This chili is quite tasty & filling actually - except that it doesn't look nice (or in fact, it looks like vomited stuff)

And I was quite skeptical of the cup's slogan "High fiber, low fats"

I was like.. ok..

Then I Googled a bit, and found from its website that it's actually the lowest calories food you can have - at the same time make you full.

Nice.
