Indie Weekend with the Indie Kids

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 01:22:50 GMT

WOW!
finally i got through xanga.
the indie gods must be helping out
THANKYOU!

my head is still SPINSPINSPINSPIN.
my ears still ringing from Peter Bjorn's Young Folks.
i woke up and thats the first song i decided to play on itunes.

my weekend kick started on THURSDAY.
spontaneous is KEY.
ended up in Changkat for Cloth&Clef's Rokkit.
and boy was it wordlessly indescribable!
the energy and the people...
WOW!
finally another place i can call home...

Le Girls (me, ch-ch-ch-chiky, meeeeeeeeem and jay-to-the-hahn) left in a white car in pretty clothes.
not pretty with heels and tight dresses.
pretty practicality with every person's best friend : Chuck Taylor tied to our feet.
with beer in hand, the start-up music sounded okay despite the mistaken genre for the night.
but eventually mr-awesome-DJ played some sick Nirvana to BLOC PARTY!
strapped ourselves behind the console, on the stairs and started calling out the crowd.
ENERGYENERGYENERGY!

came home all tired and HAPPYSATISFACTION!
been awhile since that feeling existed.
maybe since the 30th of AUGUST.

and then.... *BOOM*
i woke up and it was FRIDAY.
i am smiling with glee because....
OMFG OTK !!!
Twilight Action Girl at BarSonic!!!!
and i actually WENT!
it was like a breath of wholesome indie air.
something i had to endure without for 3 months.
the music.....
whoa....
STEREO-FUCKING-PHONICS and not just any song... but.. DAKOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fucking A!!!!
WILD!!
i've been fucking stereophonics this couple of months that when i moan i moan out Dakota's lyrics!

the people somehow looked GORGEOUS.
male and female alike.
that my friend is very rare in a small confined area.
met and blew kisses at a few familiar people and not.
mostly Bangsar homies like the showpink guys, hothiptattoo steph.
its the hair. its the hair. its the hair.
the hair that made my mom go "oh my god, where's my daughter?!"
yes THAT hair.

fuck i'm gonna reread this and go WTF.
why because like i said, my head is still spinning.
its 10AM and i'm waiting for the hangover to kick in.
fuck me.

Twilight-Schwilight

don't expect much from the movie.
especially if you are one of those huge movie buffs who enjoys good indie flicks like In Bruges, Elephant and My Own Private Idaho.
twilight proves that filiming such corny characters (vampires) is no easy task without making the vampires too retarded.
i read the books although i have trouble reading the last one because its a complete waste of paper if you ask me.
they should have just left the book at Eclipse which i think was my favorite after Twilight itself.
best vampires are the ones from Underworld.
the acting in Twilight is a bit stiff.
Abang Faris is right.
it is kinda like Covenant.
good looking actors who can't really act.
if you had ugly actors with the current movie, i'm sure its gonna flop.
I heart Edward Cullen in the book.
he's someone i wouldn't mind gnawing me anywhere for that matter.
but i will not let Rob Pattinson touch me.
i liked him better as Cedric Diggory because he was British and everything about the Brits is sexy.
trying to be american is NOT.
i was laughing my ass off and was in pain watching him in Twilight.
he looked like he had a 4 ft pole up his ass.
and don't get me started on the girl.

i mean take the movie as it is and don't let it ruin your imagination from the book.
because i think it has already tarnished mine.

still i guess its a good movie.
something you would have to watch if not you'll have sleepless nights like me.
i still do.
and i still sleep with all 4 books by my pillow.

i liked the first kiss part.
i guess its sweet to a certain extend.
and also the stuff he says to her, i teared up a bit.
yes i get emotional.

Detach my nose

lately i have been feeling so malas to do anything.
blogging is like a chore now.
so is replying emails.
lazy hazy.
assignments are left piling up in my folder.
from reports on LOHAS to Garment and Composition drawings.
with all these distractions, how can i start?
maybe the whole last minute factor is my only drive in completing my work.
my motto:
"alar, esok kan ada?"

finals is in 3 weeks or less.
exams and tests are like "blargh!" now cause we have them ever so often.
which i guess is a good thing.
plus the assignments kicks ass.

we get to create print and video ads.
our marketing project involves creating a product and packaging and write a report on how to market it.
and the presentation on Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS)

cool projects but no motivation.

i fell sick this weekend.
maybe because after a long-ass hiatus sinning at night, is has taken a toll on me.
2 drinks and i was high like an amateur fuck.
sad or what?!
i miss Zouk and TAG nights.
Barsonic, cepat lah bukak!!!

kay i'm already no pro at doing this blogging thing.
so i'm just gonna go get my ass to class now.

jinx! it is not happening!

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:57:03 GMT

i am superstitious tahap dewa.
i hate talking about good things that are happening because i am so bleeding anxious if they don't happen.
or when my right eye twitches, i get nervous too.
but its been twitching since the weekend.
and this couple of days i couldn't be any happier.
holding all the good stuff is making me feel this out-of-body experience.
like i'm gonna burst out in hysterical giggles and start jumping around till my boobs knock me out unconscious.
i like those out of the blue days.
Coldplay nights, Vogue clippings and 90210 marathons.

things have been happening that i can no longer care to write in this limited space anymore.
i have too much work on my hands and thus i am only able to express a chapter of it in mere words.
sorry folks no pictures this time around because my camera has been faulty and besides i am tagged on Facebook by my very efficient photographer friends.
college seems brighter everyday.
i am beginning to feel extra comfortable among the people i dare say are my close friends now.
i now have teenagers at the brink or just reached adulthood as friends which at times makes me feel a bit inadequate (hahaha!)
i boast about them because i think they are one of those rare people you know made an impact in your life because of their eccentric character and gist.
you have no idea how much i am thankful for having them around.
my results turned out to be a breath of fresh air.
above average by 20% for most.
i am indeed proud of myself for being able to do so despite a few momentary relapses of judgment in my part.
i really really want to do this.
i have never really been so passionate about something since forever.
sure it took a few wrong turns to get where i am today but i am glad i took those wrong roads because it made me take life more seriously.
was reading back past entries about my future plans.
at times i do feel a little sad and a punch of regret because i am never able to follow those dreams anymore.
despite being optimistic there are times i just needed to be really realistic.
and sometimes the 2 don't mix.
yes it sucks to see people leave. but they will eventually come back.
every single year.
so here i am.
i will be here next year and the year after the next.
and i guess i am finally feeling okay about that.

gila bipolar sial.
from one moment i am all jumpy-jumpy.
and the next i am all messy and emotional.
the kind if i talk about it i think i'll start bawling like a imbecile.
which is why i hate talking about sappy crap to anyone.

seriously, this couple of nights in these couple of months i've been feeling so fucking lonely.
from emo twitterings to tear-infused conversations.

i don't mind BEING lonely.
but i hate FEELING it.
because you can feel lonely even when you are surrounded by the people you love.
and being alone does not mean you will feel lonely.

i jump into too many conclusions to make me feel so much better about the future arrangements.
telling myself that things will unfold in a good way.
all the positive thinking helps for a bit.
and then moments after they just drain out leaving me back to square one.

being optimistic is tiring because it takes a lot for people let alone MYSELF to actually convince my-own-freaking-self!
so i like numbing it all out.
keeping myself busy does work only to a certain extend.
sometimes i like it when i'm poor and left with only $50 to last we for 10 days because then i will stay home and not run off buying bad-juju to make me feel whole again.
i can say no to happy-nightouts because indirectly i'll say no to the drugs.
so i'm at home listening to emo music, curling up crying in bed.

to be honest i have no idea what is wrong with me.
if i could i would list them all here.
but i don't.
so i'm stuck with something i don't think i can fix.

i step out into the world to at least TRY to work things out.
i need to seem okay.
before everything falls apart.
i can't let YOU see me like how i feel.

sometimes i just want to disappear and never come back.

because...

there's no fashion without music and so music wins.....

i now understand the logic behind my nights filled with music and all sorts of sounds. i am addicted to all things that carries a tune or conversation. so i usually sleep with a good movie on. especially the ones with a great soundtrack. in psychology last time, someone mentioned that sleeping with a chaotic background such as with the tv on or with music blasting while getting some shut eye is never good. the brain's REM goes manic and so you'll wake up tired. no peace of mind they say.
but i cannot sleep without sound. i love falling asleep while having a conversation. putting my playlist on repeat.

I'm keeping myself busy so that i won't feel lonely. its getting easier since work is piling piling piling up like mad.
i say bring it on!
