1st weeks........

Its been 2 weeks.....eh 3 weeks.....wait I'm pretty sure its 2 weeks....but it feels like 3,....or is it really 3? Nah I'll settle for 2

Its been 2 weeks since I stepped foot once again in ADP....ah yes I DREAD =.=

1st week was slow....Eh wait its been 3 weeks lahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I'll start again..

Its been 3 weeks....3 very slow weeks -.-

Everything's going reasonable I guess.....

Calculus class is niceee.....especially since the Arab is sitting wayyyyyyyyyy at the back awayyyyyy from me ;) Its soooo funnn to mock him from afar =D

Chem105 is...intruiging? I think I'll cope....thou the hardest part I guess is remembering who my group members are -_- Seriously they should introduce this new system where in particular classes students should be allocated an EASY-TO-REMEMBER name T.T

I'm gonna die in physics...of all subs :s Even more reason for me to hate 'O-levels' even more.....

Engineering grahics....I think I'm loving it....(sure Dao Yan....lets go present an engineering design....the STAPLER!!!!) ...and yes, I ended up demonstrating how to use a stapler for like 5 mins....and failed in that attempt coz I didnt realize the stapler ran out of bullets -.-

That has been life in the 12th floor so far...

Outside the doors and classrooms, life has been...interesting

Micheal and Kari were busy loathing in the program office how awesome adp was when they still were on the council =.=.......though I DO have to agree with them....while Pua Sze and Trina were bz talking and admiring Aiman and his dreadlocks.....though they have no idea how old he is....(heheh Aiman Aiman.....ko tunngu lah :p ) Oh yea AND THANK YOU ADRI FOR UR NEW NICKNAME FOR ME T.T now ppl like mariam and gang address me as p***tron -_-

Watched UP that day with the power couple....the movie was niceeee.....oh yea and pyramid I tell you qualifies as a Taylors campus...-.- You find Taylorians everywhere T.T ..... get this....we walked towards al-Ikhsan....we bumped into Darren.......we chilled at Baskin Robbins, oh Darren again.....and in the cinema guess who we bumped into...yes Darren AGAIN =.= Oh yea and this afternoon I headed to the library to get some sleep in the computer lab and guess who I found...DARREN AGAIN GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hmmmm what else happened...oh yea 1 evening we were so bored me, a friend, and a couple decided to head to Take a Break. My aim, finish calculus. My end result: Chatting about relationships =.=

Ahh good ok handphone fully charged :D....now back to topic....

I probably made the wisest decision ever in the adp library that day. Razlan spread out rm150 on the table....rm150 which would be of my property when I shout my lungs out in the LIBRARY -.-....the 3 pieces of 50 bucks were soooooooooooooooooooo tempting....but then calculus won....I figured.....if I shout out loud I'd be banned from the library for the rest of the sem, which means bye bye rm500 library fee...means a net loss of (rm500-150) which is rm350. Sorry Razlan.....I ain't that dumb :D

Hmmm lemme think what else...oh yea hor.....that day me, a friend, and a friend's cousin (whom I finally met up after a gazillion years) decided to go shopping at ....where else......pyramid -.- ....

To simplify things and ensure confidentiality to the max I'm gonna refer to my friend as hyper and my friend's cousin as dolphin....don't ask....

So at 11 after hyper and dolphin toured the 12th floor we made our way to pyramid. On the way numerous attempts to hand the wheel over to hyper failed....NOT good for her driving prospects....[Some dads need to be proved wrong ;) ]

1st destination in pyramid...toilet =.= Not me but them....while waiting centuries for them to get done I was busy looking at this mannequin.....I ended up trying out pick up lines on 'em...trust me its sooooo funn coz they don't replyyyy :D!!!!

Once business in the toilet was settled we headed for surprise surprise Kitschen -.- a place where a particular superstar once visited. Apparently hyper and dolphin were 'a little too not over' shopping at the place.

Clothing shop after clothing shop were raided.....I became driver ala bodyguard ala bag carrier ala person-who-kept-waiting-outside-for-hyper-to-show-shirt-but-never-did-so. How it bungs me that 2 people can actually fit into 1 fitting room for hours -.- Oh yea and for some reason dolphin thinks I'm into belts??????? WTH???

After shopping I headed back to adp minus hyper and dolphin to attend engineering graphics lab with....Mr Herol.....=.= hating AutoCad week after week.....reached adp in 10 mins and guess who I bumped into AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! ..........................

......the power couple haha!!! for ONCE it wasn't Darren -.- and guess what...the power couple were holding hands over a cup of milo at mag cafe.........awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww -_____-

Lab was done at 4.55....and left straight after to catch back up with hyper and dolphin. Reached there in 10 mins...gotta love the Subang jams -.-

Once we met up, decided to head to gasoline to sit over a drink....or is it drink over a sit? or sit over a...seat...drink...talk over a drink? drink over a drink? ahhhh nvr mind you get the point -.-

Because it took them ages to figure out what to order I decided to take control and just order something random for them. What looked like Lemon chocolate in my eyes was actually a drink called Tweeny bird....or Twitter bird....ah yo!!!! its a freaking disney cartoon character lahhhh.....

Then all hell broke loose as dolphin decided to play truth or dare....who knew...the dolphin who I always thought of being an angel turned out to be my greatest nightmare!!! I tell you the questions posed ah......speechless....."would you rather wear a bikini or wedding gown?" waddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa kwakkkkkkkkkkkk???????????!!!!!! enough said

Though I have to admit the 1.5 hours spent in Gasoline was awesome to say the least....it's been a long time since I had such a good time laughing and cracking.....

At 6.45 it was time for me to depart...though there was still time left for hyper and dolphin to lecture and mock me on my wastage of plastic bags -.- Do you know how many fish you can save by not using plastics??? -.-

Ok so it wasn't such a bad start to the new semester....gosh if there was a PASS session for physics I'd enrol; immediately -.-. Reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy needa brush up on homework and assignments over the weekend

And there goes dad rumbling about why in the world CNN and BBC are publishing pathetic news about the caning of that Malaysian woman who got caught drinking beer. Seriously people there are other much more world intensifying and important news to talk about!!! Haih international broadcasters -.- No wonder mom's complaining too

And apparently for some reason I'm someone's son-in-law?????!!!! WTH

OK I shall stop crapping.....seriously its getting wayyyyyyyy too late......ugh I can't wait for my duit raya....I need new shirts!!!!!!!!! random thought

Ok I'm really gonna stop here now...spare you guys the blushes -.-

P.S: Very few people find friends of really great value at different times, I'm glad I'm one of the lucky few.....

So long my friend......for now

Its been 9 years........9 long years. Its been 9 years since we first met......and its been 9 years since I said 'hi' to you for the first time, and now its been 9 minutes since you flew up in the air....bound to some far away place called New York.....the city that never sleeps......

Never in my life have I ever been close to a person as I have been with you. I've set base at 3 different continents in the world, 3 different countries, yet who knew the best friend I ever had was right here in my motherland.

First time I stepped into class nervously on the first day of school I had in Malaysia I sat next to you. Whether it was His calling, or simply a matter of co-incidence.....I don't know. All I saw was a boy in a uniform wearing a tag labeled "Perfect". Though my eyes may have lied to me it took me a while to actually swap the 'e' and the 'r' to make "Prefect". Truth is the first word described you best.

You were my good friend. When others saw the bad in me you saw the good. In fact you were the only one to see the good in me. For 9 years you saw the good in me, you always believed in me no matter what.....no matter what others said. When I needed someone you were there. When I needed help you came to my aid, with no questions asked.

You were at times my guide and beacon of hope. I looked up to you. You fought for what was right, you fought for dignity. You never let anyone bring you down, you stood tall, you were unbreakable. You stood up for yourself, you didn't need anyone. You conquered your own life

Yes we had our arguments.....so many times in actual fact. But I guess that's the beauty of it. We were honest and open, we understood each other.....even though we were at opposite sides of the spectrum in our worlds. We grew up with these hardships, and we came out of it stronger and braver.

Things never changed between us. Nothing could ever stop us, not even school graduation. We always found time somehow, whether it was in between our classes or simply the weekends, nothing could stop us from hanging, not distance nor time.

We could talk forever like there' s no tomorrow......whether it was about school, college, friends, girls, more girls, flirting techniques, or even family. We kicked the crap outta each other on FIFA and PES, not to mention the times during P.E or futsal, it was simple football, you were the striker I was the goalie.....our main duty, stop each other at all costs, and it made us what we are now, 10 times better and closer. You were Torres I was Reina........and at the end of the day, we played for the same team, the one and only Reds.

I would never have put my money on us taking the same course ever....let alone the same uni. It looks as if we both haven't yet finished our story. I guess all we have done is turn the page on another chapter of this life we have. Its a new lease of life.

To be honest I don't know what He has in line for us. I really don't know. How I wish it was all the more simpler. Life from now on is no more black and white. I really don't know what now. Now that you're gone I have no one to talk to about what an idiot Lucas is, how we hate MU's guts, or simply the intriguing stories revolving around girls we have around us. I have no one to beat in a game of football on the console, nor have I got anyone to push me that extra step further in life, to be a tad bit more daring.

And while writing this something new surfaced. Your departure has brought back many friends back together to ponder about the good old days. Anuj a simply whacky fella indeed, Min tut the ever so big school 'show off' :p yet he's perhaps the nicest guy you'll find around. Prashant being Prashant as he is, mature and always a step ahead. Shaun, perhaps one of the most respected fellas you'll find.....simply because he believed in himself and fought for his right. Benny, perhaps at times misunderstood by many, yet is one of the nicest fellas you'll ever find in school, he of all people has the capability to surprise anyone, I owe him a LOT. And who can forget Shanthan, the heartbeat, the spine. Shanthan came in all shapes and sizes. If we all lived in a 3-dimensional world, he lived in a 4-dimensional world. I cannot put Shanthan in words....you just have to meet him, and trust me you'll be privileged indeed.

These were only a taste of what we've both gone through. I could write a whole book of us all, yet some people have departured to their own paths. Paths that separated us all distance-wise. Will we all meet each other again on an odd event? only He knows.

This is the toughest post I've done hands down. Its just hard to let go sometimes. Life introduces many unexpected things, in unexpected packages. That's the beauty of life. This is no joke at all......

We ALL miss you a lot. All we can hope for is for you not to forget us, in the hope that somehow we will all be back as how we were before. How I'd give anything to turn back the clock and relive those moments. Those were the best moments in my life, and I only realised this when you passed the immigration counter. Talk about right timing

My route to Michigan will kick-start tonight, I'll see you next year when we both head to the same state......

We wish you all the best up there in Michigan. You're gonna do just fine, I knew that since the first day I met you. You were indeed the "Perfect" friend..........

Bros for life.......








P.S Its time to close this chapter.....its about time......I'm sure of it now that you're gone......

Another day in the office

Class started at 8....as normal.....
Class ended at 10......pretty normal
After class played pool with Rebecca and lost......unfortunately that was pretty normal -.- ........
Had lunch with Samantha and Rebecca.......quite normal
Went to KL at 12pm and got lost.......very normal

That was where my normal day ended.....

The day began at precisely 1pm.......when me and my aunt headed for JB for the rally. It was a longggg 5 hour drive to JB -.- . On the way me and my aunt chatted about kids nowadays not having enough drive or ambition to succeed in a career they truly will thrive in. We agreed that kids in school nowadays only had 1 real objective.........get as many A's as possible.

I mean yea ok grades do of course matter, but if thats the only reason why you keep entering the school gates every single day of ur freaking life until you're 17 or 18 truth is you'd struggle to go far. You're gonna need at least a small fire inside to ignite that huge dream of yours......a dream that fuels that burning desire inside of you to live your life to the max whilst enjoying the benefits. If you're in school simply for the A's on your certificate, I'd suggest you go look in the dictionary and find the word 'school'.

Ok enough of me crapping. We reached the hotel at 6.10pm, just in time for my aunt's racers' briefing. While she attended the briefing I decided to head to the room to freshen up. As I got into the life 2 other tall figures entered the lift, one in particular looked very familiar. It was a face I ever so often have seen on TV and the papers....it was Malaysia's top racing driver!!! I could barely control myself inside....though in the end I remained pretty lifeless to be honest.....way to keep my cool.

Looked for room 1027....gosh the hotel was huge. Entered the room, inserted the key into some device....then WHAM!!! all sorts of electronics went on.....sweet. Turned on the TV and started to watch some really nice shows until a potentially-destructive sms from a friend forced me to the corner table to finish up some calculus homework =.= .

Night arrived soon and it was time for the opening ceremony. The area outside the hotel where the opening ceremony was going to be held was NICE! There were bistros, clubs, cafes, free-duty shopping, starbucks :p , bars, and nice restaurants. Took some pics with the camera and videos with the camcorder. I practically looked like a media moron.....holding the camera in my left hand and the camcorder on my right -.- After the ceremony we had dinner, I took more pics, and we all headed back to the hotel. End of day 1

Day2 arrived fast. Had to wake up at 6.30am. Had a quick breakfast at the hotel then headed straight to the 1st SS. (Note: SS means Super Stage......basically a racing course or track). Few people had already gathered in the area......whilst I looked for a good standing position to snap some pics. Car after car passed. For my family this is how it worked......get to the SS super early and wait for my uncle in his 1.3 Satria race car to pass and then rush to the next SS to catch him again in action. Kinda lazy to explain it clearly so if you have no idea what I just wrote (which im betting you are) then too bad -.-......

Cars which passed by had front bumpers missing, rear bumpers and side doors falling off, and crumpled side panels. Thing is the sport of rally-racing includes a lot of cars hitting trees, tire puncture, flipping cars, and so on. You get the point. Things were going OK I guess. The aim for my uncle was to finish the race. We all were in the car until we received an unwelcome call from my uncle.......he ditched the car at the 3rd stage -.- PERFECT. I predicted an early end to my weekend. We waited and waited at the team garage endlessly in hope of seeing the yellow car. After an odd hour or so finally the car arrived. My uncle somehow managed to get the car out of the drain without a truck. The car returned with a few cracks or so but was still good to run. The organizers however prohibited my uncle from racing again for the day as he exceeded the amount of time and bla bla bla crap. In short it was time to call it a day and wait till the next day for another round of racing.

I felt a tremor on my left leg. A force that felt familiar in all sorts of ways. I opened my dazy eyes....it was grandpa shaking my leg to wake me up -.- It was 6am in the morning and to be honest I had no idea what happened the previous night. My laptop was turned off beside me and received a sms from a friend......telling me what an awesome time she had the previous night at MTV worldstage and how much she jumped around (inturiging indeed.... :P ). Felt really glad for her especially after all the trauma she went through with her Cook and her unique voicebox.

Got up and ready to go at 7.30am. Headed to the first race stage of the day. Things looked a bit more livelier. People started to flood the area and a media helicopter kept hovering above lowly. Didn't manage to get close to the cars though, but still it was an awesome backdrop with the undulating hills.

The next race stage was a bit more spectacular in all respects. Not only was it a great up close spot where I was within meters of the cars passing by but I was also within meters of some really nice girls :p....another thing I loveeeeee about rallying hahaha!!

The day of racing finally ended as we headed back to the hotel for the closing ceremony. Good ol' uncle managed to finish the race and ended up some way back in the standings thanks to his trip to the ditch the previous day.

Thing is I can't really blog about rally racing.....I'd bore myself out explaining the whole thing to you. Perhaps the best way for me to explain my experience are through these following pics.......

P.S : I'm thorugh. I'm done....now go live you're life in peace

Day of Awakening

Today was the first day of 3rd sem classes......boo-hoo

Started off the day by getting up at 5.30am, got ready, den drove off at 6.20am....you've just gotta love Putrajaya roads.....its all there for you....emptiness to the brim...the road is there for you to conquer.....

Reached ss15 around 7 and voila, my favorite parking spot waiting for me beside the road, the free and *ahem illegal parking spot. Headed straight to Foh Foh for a morning drink while I await a friend to join me....expecting my notes for engr121 and a book for me to divulge on during moments of boredom....den I was expecting a mission briefing on musc103. lol

7.10 came and she arrived with her mask on.....yes a mask....she must be some comrade or avenger I wondered. Then moments later another came, then another friend came, then another friend came. So much for my place and moment of solitude and sanctuary. Gahhh

7.45 came and the they all left....peace finally stumbled before my eyes. Few minutes later headed straight to class, only to find a 2/3 empty class. So much for solitude -_- . Sat wayyy back in the class to have an eagle's view of the class.

Class ended in 30 mins. Sweet. Then headed straight for the next class, chem105. To my pleasant surprise my good friend Hoe Rui joined me in the class. Awesome dude, wacky in his own sense, always loathed his company and determination. Then while waiting for Ms.Intan I saw a familiar face breeze outside. I could see his confused look through the open classroom door. OMG it's AIMAN!!!!! A jolly good friend of mine from the Taylors PJ campus, a really really good friend. I jumped off the table I was sitting on and leaped out like a cheetah. Aiman was still Aiman, he's dreadlocks ever flocking from the back of his head with his hairband. The music mojo who performed gigs at numerous places I didn't bother to know about.

Gosh it was great to see him here in ADP. The man was here for Micro-econs, a sub that apparently wasn't offered in the PJ campus. Then as the looming figure of Ms.Intan appeared on the 12th floor hallway, I had no choice but to end our convo and save it for another day. Chem105 was.....dire. She went on blabbering about the course outline, bla bla bla, while Hoe Rui was busy calculating the percentage of Chinese girls in the classroom. He arrived at a figure of 42.35 percent. Pretty decent to be honest.

40 minutes flew by when class finally ended. I was done for the day, but home wasn't my destination. While I let my car soak in the heat outside for a little longer, I met up with dirt...oh yes dirt a.k.a Hsien Yang. Laid back dude, always a pleasure to see him. We decided to head to the ECA office to get some form for this Taylors carnival. Dirt stopped by to buy some notebooks at the shop beside, and then we went up to the ECA office to meet up with Mr.Ronson. The man reminded of me of some everyday Bollywood star -.- . Then later we headed back to ADP, when Dirt went " weih alamak aku tertinggal notebook kat kedai la.....U la cakap banyak sangat pasal futsal!!" ......oh yea GREAT BLAME YOU'RE SHORTCOMINGS ON ME!!! '-_-

Being a gentleman I accompanied him back to the shop where the owner gave Dirt that 'look' before handing him the notebooks. We then headed back to ADP after having lunch at Subway. I headed straight to the 12th floor to get my advisor's signature for my Add/Drop form. Theatre was just a little too far-fetched for me. I wasn't gonna risk the wrath of Mr.Vijaya for my grades. I was gonna drop that sub for physics. Had to wait for a long queue to subside before I could eventually see my advisor. In the meantime I filled in a precious 30 minutes talking to Terence about destination USA, while Qian Wei outlined his mission on his road to MIT, and Wey Jian was busy describing his relationship with his new gf....Janice Wong HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!! "Oh professor, I'll do ANYTHING for an A!" *ROFL ......okkokokok la kidding....LOL

After obtaining the signature I met friend X to ask bout his driving test. The guy failed the first test in.....believe it or not....the 3 pointer. Oh yes the 3 pointer....the easiest test hurdle, it confuses me how a human can fail at that hurdle. So I asked him how was the 2nd test. His words "Failed.....3 pointer again". I was speechless for 30 secs until I burst out. HOW THE HELL DO YOU FAIL THE 3 POINTER TWICE???!!!!! Dirt himself was less kind towards X. Its like what X's trainer told him..."you can fail bukit, or parking....but don't you dare fail the 3 POINTER!!!!". Seeing how distraught X was I decided to give him a break and head to the programme office to settle my Add/Drop thingy.
This was how it went with the person in charge of the Add/Drop thingy.....

Ms.Person-in-Charge: Please fill this form...
Me: *fills in form
Ms.Person-in-Charge: Ok thank you
Me *(somehere inside the body and soul of Ikhsan) : HUH?! WTF?! DATS ALL?!!!!!!

For 1 friggin week I pondered about this day.....the day when I will finally find out whether I can enroll in Physics, and yet I'll just have to live another day to find out -_- .

So much for disappointment I headed back up to the 12th floor with dirt . Met up with Alief, Atoi, Razlan, and Adri. Alief was....being Alief. Atoi....same story.....and guess what he came up with a new joke "hey wats the transformer name for furniture.....PERA-BOT" -________________-

Razlan was busy raving about theatre, making himself stand out and stuff, while Adri was......getting on my nerve.....and he came up with a new nickname for me....."puki-tron" =.=

Later I made myself look like a mean bastard in front of Mariam and Pua Sze by telling Dirt...."dude, you can't do theatre". And Dirt being Dirt decided to turn drama-queen in front of the two ladies -_- .

Then finally met up with Faisal after he's routine sleep. Then me,him,Dirt,and Alief headed to Mag cafe for lunch where Sam joined us soon after. Dirt coudn't stop singing "Fire Burning" to my face. He's reason, I look like Sean Kingston. You wait la Dirt.....

Faisal and I then headed to Pyramid to get my haircut....and as it turned out my hair after the haircut at APT was.....I shall say no further. Then me and Faisal spent a good 20 minutes roaming around the Sunway Pyramid carpark to locate my stricken car. Once again I forgot where I parked that dreadful car of mine -_- .

Once we found it (finally)....I sent Faisal back home while I headed back to mine. The highlight of the day....heavy rain on the way back. YEAH!!! Its been ages since I drove in heavy rain. I LOVED driving in the heavy rain.....the car slides around the road like an animal trying to break loose.....and the spray from the tires....awesome. It was an experience I'd behold for a long time. There is no better feeling than sliding your car around the highway, and the spray on my windshield....amazing!

And this whole delaying thing on my shift to Subang......driving me nuts.....that bargain room is gonna be gone soon enough I just know it....thanks to my parents....who else?!!.....I need my freedom.....my place of solitude....

And I'm in dire need of futsal....oi dirt!! apa nie ko nak buat team ke tak?! We are so not gonna enter that competition.....and even if we do I'd have to figure out how to get to sunway grand sports planet in 5 mins -.- ......

I hate this period...*I had an awesome day today ;) thx guys

P.S:
So long you've been running in circles
'Round what's at stake
But now the times come for your feet to stand still in one place
You wanna reach out
You wanna give in
Your head's wrapped around what's around the next bend
You wish you could find something warm
'Cause you're shivering cold
It's the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
It's the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on

House arrest day 168

My boredom = watching movies endlessly at home

Because I have nothing pathetically better to do....here is the rating countdown of the last 5
movies I've watched so far....

5. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Massively over-rated to be honest. Great robots, great action scenes, heart-thumping combat, but stupid -.- . Sam Witwicky awaken from the dead?! what the hell is this resurrection????....yea and not to mention how dumb the citizens can be....I mean even after the first Transformers installment and the great showdown between Optimus Prime and Megatron that the people had NO IDEA THESE ROBOTS EXISTED?! oh come on! Don't tell me they can't notice those massively huge machines which move about in the city smashing everything in sight!! gahhh...LAME. Yea and what's with that kid Leo huh?? He's just a waste of screen time really. Perhaps the only shining star of the movie...John Turturro aka Agent Simmons. Yea the man single-handedly saved the movie from being a bore militarial movie.

Quote of the movie: "Oh professor! I'll do ANYTHING for an A!" - Judy Witwicky


4. Stomp the Yard
A decent movie in all aspects. If you're into breath taking and impossible dance techniques and
executions, then Stomp the Yard is the perfect movie for you. The romance in the movie = Lame + waste of time. The face-off between the fraternities at the end of the movie = brilliance in
cinematography. This movie showcases the determination and grit of the respective fraternities in their road to greatness....and at the end of the day there is always and only one winner...

Quote of the movie: "It's not just about you. It's about us, we're a team" - Duron


3. Yes Man

A really fun movie to witness. Screw the plot, watching Jim Carrey in the movie is priceless
enough. You can watch it over and over again and each time you'll be glued to your seat that I
assure you. The more you watch the more you'll love Jim's acting in the movie. I tell ye not many actors out there will leave a good impression like Jim Carrey does despite a relatively predictable and mediocre movie.

Quote of the movie: "You ever had a Red Bull? Ive never had a Red Bull before, but I had a Red Bull last night - I really like Red Bull" - Carl Allen aka Jim Carrey


2. White Chicks
Another hilarious movie indeed from the Wayans brothers. One thing about this movie is it's humor which is quite unique in it's own way, different from other comedies you find on the big screen. Terry Crews provided an nice touch to the movie playing the self-centred and obsessive Latrell Spencer. All in all White Chicks is a great family movie indeed, so just sit back, relax, and let those tears of laughter drip from you're ducts.

Quote of the movie: Triple t, k, a. Time to totally kick a**! - Wayans brothers


1. August Rush

Ok here's what I thought about music before watching this movie....music is what you here in the
radio fullstop. Here's what I thought about orchestras before watching this movie....its just a
group of overpaid musicians playing instruments which I've never even touched in my life.
Here's what I thought of music after watching the movie....music is a combination of
sounds...sounds you here everywhere, whether its the sound of screeching cars, strong winds, the drilling of machines on the roadside, or the sound of a person in the toilet doing....their thing.
And for as for orchestras, to me they were now beautiful symphonies of music and sounds put together to make one piece of a beautiful rhapsody defining the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water. Heck I told myself after school that I am NOT gonna take a single subject of music ever in my life....yet now I'm pondering over dropping theater for music 103 next semester -_- . That is how influential the movie has been to me.
August Rush is the perfect movie. Keri Russel one GORGEOUS and FINE lady *ahem. And Freddie Highmore...the star of the movie...the wonderkid, the prodigy, the angel. I'd give anything in the world for his musical talent. Even at this age I'm still having trouble writing the G major on the scale, and this kid is already off composing his own rhapsodies -.- . Gahhhh I need to get into Juilliard fast! The movie is a piece of art. When a friend told me this movie was about a small kid in his quest to search for his parents through the sounds of music I was like....."yeah hey did you know I can run faster than Usain Bolt -.-" . How wrong was I. In August Rush I was introduced to the world of music. For a guy who lived on F1, football, cars, and *ahem transformers....this was something completely new to me. It totally changed the way I looked
at life. This movie is a breath of fresh air....and I highly doubt I'd ever watch a movie even
remotely as good as August Rush. Props to Kirsten Sheridan, well done to you.

Quote of the movie:
"You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars" - Wizard aka Robin Willaims

P.S: I need to get outta here!

A Finnish privilege indeed

Read a friend's account on meeting her beloved and entrusted 'idol'.....thought I'd share mine :p

For 8 years have I followed this 1 man closely....yes 8 years -.- . He inspired me to do the impossible, he gave me hope....hope that even the most ordinary people can become great, great people. His humble-ness and walk-the-talk attitude was simply mesmerizing. He lives in his own world, Kimi world.

Kimi Raikkonen was a man of his own. Thats exactly the reason why I admire him, more than anyone else in the world. He coudln't give a damn about what others thought about him, he didn't give a damn if someone won 7 world championships. The only thing he cared about.......racing at its purest.

SO on the fateful day... 1 week before the 2009 Petronas F1 Grand Prix in Sepang (which wud've been my 14th visit to the circuit)....it was announced that Kimi would be scheduled for an autograph session with the fans. FINALLY!!!. After 8 years of waiting...I get to meet the man himself!

Preparations were rife....got myself a friend who was willing to tag along early on that Saturday to Sepang. We reached there on that day at around 8am, and the autograph session would start at 12.30pm -.- . Even the entrance gates were still closed at the time we arrived. Ended up spending a good hour taking pics of the speed demons, trying out some gadgets, taking more pics of some really beautiful cars, bought stuff....

Then finally the gate opened at 10am. We both rushed in and made our way towards the stage where Kimi would be having his autograph session. Arrived there and made it into the first line....stage 1 complete!

Next challenge.....filling up 2 hours of boredom queuing under the blazing sun =.= . Ended up texting a friend who really shoud've come along (its ok u'll meet him soon enough in the US ;p ), listening to music, and trying to ignore this really annoying guy who kept talking about badminton and trying to impress a group of Japanese girls queuing up along. Gosh he was so annoying I was raring to shove his small flag he was holding up his mouth -.- .

My legs were paining to death....until finally Kimi and his loser teammate Massa finally made it to the stage. And there he was....in his red polo Ferrari shirt with his kakhee pants equipped with his tank top Ferrari cap and totally awesome shades!!! He looked shorter than he was on tele, and smaller too :s

The guy didn't wave to the crowd....just chilling with his red bull....so Kimi-ish....and that's why we all hail him...he was being Kimi.

No more than 7 minutes later I went up to the stage....and the first driver I saw was Massa. Sheesh like a cared about him....I was there for only 1 guy.....and a few steps later there he was, signing off posters, caps, and even foreheads. I only had this 1 cap bearing his name to autograph....since each of us were only allowed 1 item (BOOO!!). His PR manager beside him, took my cap, and with grace and ingenuity Kimi left his mark.....Mission accomplished.....and to round it all off the photographer managed to snap a pic of me with Kimi....barely

So there it was....3 minutes up close to him which defined my previous 8 years of admiring him on TV. I was no more than 5 cm away from him......totally awesome.....at the end of the day.....he looked like any normal Finn you'd find on the street.....only this was Kimi....2007 F1 world champion....arguably the fastest pure racing driver in the world....and I met him.....it was an awesome privilege.....one that I'll savor for a very.....very long time.....

And thanks Ek Wyn for the pics!!! I owe u ;)

P.S Life is defined by moments, moments of greatness. Now that's life.....
