Just Meet me half way

2009-10-19T02:20:00.002+11:00

Black Eyed Peas came up with their latest hits - " meet me half way" from their album The E.N.D 2009. The tune is kinda catchy. Like a little mixture of electropop plus R & B.

Black Eyed Peas are revolutionizing their music genre to a more electropop music?? Influences from the likes of MGMT...It ain't half that bad.

Speaking of the Black Eyed Peas, they were at Malaysia during Arthur's Day. It was a spectacular event. Black dressing code. The crowd was HUGE!!! Minus the hot stuffy weather. It could be better.

Imagine that

2009-10-14T01:17:00.002+11:00

imagine being on top of the world
having what you always dream of

things arent just the way we imagine it to be.
just like me..imagining things that is made so flowery by the media.
working in real life is just well...real.
nothing like what you see in tv.
the glamorous carefree lifestyle...is just nothing from the real thing..

growing up.
seeing the good and bad side of people.
learning to accept.
learning to forgive.
its all up to us.
really.
what we choose to believe.

old flames sparkle up
with a catalyst..
where it lead us..only time will tell

i m ready for it

2009-09-15T03:36:00.003+10:00

Ever since we were babies, our lives was planned out, map out, which college we were going to go to, what kind of jobs to take. Everything is just there for us. If you are lucky, get into a prestigious college if thats what you wanted. When everything is played so safe, so well planned, and then you start to wonder, is that the life i m going to live? We hope for the best enjoyment of life, the fun, the excitement, the adventure, its our life rite? why wouldnt we want the best of out it? afterall we only live once.

i would totally understand it if one were to lead a simple kinda life, nothing too complicated, just peaceful and quiet, nothing to be stressed about. Some people call it jaded, its just plain boring. We need excitement! thats why when we are young and energetic, we try to make everyday the best day of our lives.

Playing safe might take away some risks, but you will never know what the world has got to give. Whats out there. Evolve and grow yourselves. see the world in a different light.

Now, i m ready for it. chasing dreams and making it an adventure every single moment of it.

Never forget to thank friends that motivates you and pick you up from the ground. Thanks you guys. Thanks for the good times.

Merdeka girls nite out!!

2009-09-02T02:50:00.004+10:00

since i was here at pj for a while now..and havnt got a chance to spend the nite out at KL. so here it goes...a lil bit of an adventure..we went to Pavilion first, and the car parking came to a whooping RM8!!! for less than 3 hours. can you believe that. gosh.

since i have been dying to go to Zouk ever since i was 19, and havnt got a chance to get in there yet. One of my closest friend get so bumped out coz she cant get in!! that time we were still under 21. you need to be on the guest list or get some cool peeps that work in the club to get in. like..@#$#$$#!!

that Merdeka day. perhaps it was Merdeka day, and we are paying to get in. thats why security is not that strict. we got in without being asked off our ids, besides, we are over 21 already. wondering what the big deal was it about Zouk. That everyone is giving them all that buzz. After that nite, i guess i know why. Chick surfing. = surfing the club for chicks instead of looking thru the internet. Us girls, we look at the best dressed, and who got the style and confidence. Them guys, visual stuff.

i think i got a bit disappointed. because there isnt much of a crowd that likes to dance. they are just plain. boring. standing around. cam whoring about. some chicks that score some Mat Salleh guys. I wonder the Mat Salleh guys score some hot girls? or the other way round? either way, it just look like they are taking advantages of them girls. and those girls are acting like drunk and playing dumb.

i went to work today, happy but with a bit of hangover, Hits FM playing all the songs that was played in the club. i was happy coz i really enjoyed dancing there. i mean i dance and dance and dance until my feet are complaining. i was doing some random sydney dance when some trance pop thing goes. it wasnt all that bad. except that girl who scare me a bit when she did a hair flip and shocked me. she was so close to convincing me to dance with her on the mini stage thingy. the party ended with some shredded colourful papers raining down the dance floor. pretty alright. except the glittery stuff sticking on my body.

thats all. till next time. stay tuned for it is Arthur's day.

Live High

2009-09-01T01:23:00.002+10:00

we sing songs
we dance
we dance even more..till our feet are senseless

we love
we kiss
we kiss and tell
we crave for adventure
we crave for misadventure

we fall in love
we fall out of love
we fall back in love
just helpless at wanting something we cant get

we dance
the release of all stress in life
expressed out in a night
the crappy dance moves, the lazy dance moves, the laid back dance moves, the " shake it" dance moves, the " dont give a ** " moves..
of all sorts...

its all been good
thanks for the night out.
thanks you guys.
back to war game BOYS!!!
back to work.

happy merdeka.

some notes

2009-08-21T02:23:00.004+10:00

sometimes, we just got too carried away with work, that we somehow forgot to care about people that is around us. we take them for granted and hope that that they will understand why we cant make time for them. Sometimes, we become selfish, we want to have our own time, our personal space, we just want to do what we want without any control or constraints from others. Others that i have seen, tried to fulfill other people's wishes, they just become depressed, stuck in between time, felt trapped and unable to reject other people's wishes and wants, while unable to satisfy their own needs.

Thats just life. To juggle between work, having a social life, and taking care about the welfare of your family. In order to be happy, we need to socialise with friends, but at the same time, we will run short on cash, spending loads of cash for dinner, movies and petrol. Before the end of the month, the money that we earn will just be gone with a puff of smoke. we dont realise how much we spent. And girls, beware of credit cards, all i can say is that credit cards are evil, i know my own limits, thats why i wont invest in a credit card because i know if i do, that would be another obsession for shopping. of endless debts. and add ons bank interest. that would be the end of me.

Then, there is the need to improve ourselves, physically and mentally. Looking great boost up our confidence level into a higher level. Thus, we spend loads on makeup, going to the gym, wearing the latest piece of designer wear. To reward ourselves, we treat ourselves with good food. We read more books, to broaden up our minds, well..maybe not me, i just prefer to read from the internet, what nots, whatever i can get my hands on. they invented ebooks for a reason.

but whats life, if there isnt any combinations of stress, work and family? i ll say, our lives would be pretty dull if we were too free. booooring..

learn to live life. learn to accept our mistakes. learn to forgive. learn to love again. coz there is a different us everyday. we need to change ourselves in order to be the person we hope to be. of all this, we need to accept ourselves and learn to love ourselves again. how do we expect people to love you if you dont even think greatly of yourselves???

life is a never ending paths and possibilities. Chances that we need to create to make ourselves, our lives, our destiny.

we are our own destiny. we are what we think.

i gotta feeling...MTV World Stage was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-08-16T18:15:00.007+10:00

It was surreal. it was hot. it was steamy. boy, it was really really hot with the crowd..cant even imagine how crowded it was that very night. Thanks Carmen for the tickets. I LOVE YOU CARMEN!!!!!

I remember i was just driving in the morning, getting ready to leave the office in the morning, going to church...and there it goes...on Fly FM..." Five more hours, MTV WORLD STAGE goes LIVE at Sunway Lagoon Beach!!!!" it was announced quite a number of times until it sorta irritates me..so much..so that i was in a negative mood. Then, i remember..how much i was going to miss..while they are at the MTV awards enjoying live music..i was depressed..to have that thought of not going..on such a huge event.i was afraid i was going to lose out..

at church..i remember i was asking Carmen.."hey are u going to the MTV centre stage???" "nah..i m not" Just went we left for church..i went to meet up with my friend Stephy..i was at the Curve, then i got a msg.."hey i got tics to the MTV World stage thing..you wanna go?? " i tell you..at that moment..i was in shock. i was too excited. Steph got to ask me.."what happen??" "whats with that face??" Did you know that we cant buy any tics?? and they made ppl to audition for the loudest scream to get in?? it was all a bunch of crap...but i guess if you really did all those effort..the meaning of it is priceless..you can even brag..about it..how to scream to get in..lol..

but yep..picked up carmen and my sis..boy we were so in a rush..i was suppose to meet up jessica at the curve and i had to turn her down..=( boy i feel bad.

arrive there..and laura is already there..on the left..and i was in the crowd on the right..behind the camera man..lol..they actually drained the beach...for that very event..imagine how much water was drained out and wasted??

i was so much in love with the frontman of Hoobastank. Hoobastank was awesome..really..its their third time in Malaysia..<3<3<3

all american rejects blows us away with the wind blow..in my mind..i was thinking..what the f is he wearing?? and he is too hyper?? is he onto something?? man those jeans are too tight to begin with...lol..

lol..i really really enjoyed my time there..kasabian rocked the crowd as well..

arghhh..i still cant believe i went to the MTV WORLD STAGE.....

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

love you MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lesson to be learnt.

2009-08-15T01:36:00.002+10:00

This two weeks was a bz bz week. So much to do. So little time. One thing for sure, I have learnt a lot this week.

1. Never take your friends for granted.

I had a bad nightmare, with my friend sending this text msg while refusing to pick up my phone calls because I missed a date with a friend.

The msg goes like this.

1. You are a selfish self centered bastard.
2. I never want to talk to you again.
3. Don’t ever call me again. F**K OFF B**TH!!!

Why would she be pissed. My bad. I was too engrossed with watching gossip girl season 2 until the last episode that I forgot that I was suppose to meet her up at One Utama. At about 12pm, only I reached to my phone in my bag, there was THREE missed calls! Realising what I did, I immediately text msg her back and apologise.

I tried calling her because she didn’t reply me back. I thought she was really mad. Oh my, that really scared me until I was confused for the whole week. Why didn’t she pick up my calls? Why I keep on getting to the operator? “the number you have dial cannot be reach” Oh my goodness, whats going on?? The following week after those missed calls, I realize I was so engrossed with work that I didn’t bother to call her back. And I waited until the next week to call her, and there it goes..into her voice messages.

Lucky me, it was all a misunderstanding. BTW, we didn’t really set a time and place for the meeting. Yesterday she called me back and said she was at Tioman, that’s why I couldn’t reach her because the reception was bad. I was so relief that she called me back after a while. Phew, that was a close call, I nearly lose a friend. You should have seen the look on my face, I was so relief and happy that she called.

2. Never buy a pet for a three year old kid.

My niece nearly killed the fish, when I told her to feed the fish always. She poured the whole fish food into the fish tank.LOL. Then I found out nobody has been feeding the fish. For a week!! It’s a miracle how the fish survived for a week without food. Now the pet fish is staying at my house. LOL. I have always loved pets. And whatever I can take care of. I bought three small cactus plant. But unfortunately, I m too bz to water them, I just wonder how are they right now..lol..

3. Real friends are ones that supports you no matter what you do.

Laura just come back to Malaysia. It was fun meeting up with her. Should always put some time for friends no matter how crazy the week has been.

4. Should have Emergency Kit: Ready to wear clothes for every ocassion and
makeup items in the car.

That means totally control on your social life, no matter what you are doing. Good for emergencies, when meeting up with friends after work and having no time to change at home.Avoid the traffic jams and some silly dramas like the mentioned 1 case of ignorance and hectic schedule to follow.

That sums up my crazy crazy week. Phew..that was a long one.

i like the line between your belly and your thighs
the smell of your hair
the sparkle in your eyes
the smoke in your breath
the breathing hard and heavy
the back of your neck
the shine on your Chevy
the moon was so big when i drove it to the levy, girl

i found blood and i saw stars
all in the backseat of your car
and i told you it was love
but you don't wanna know the truth
i was young and in my prime
with my heart still filled with fear
and it goes on bleedin'

the clean dreams, the sexy limousine
Jason's got the energy he used to be a coke fien
the skinny brown arms coming round in your shirt
heart is in the right place brain is in the dirt
you live life like everyone's an enemy

i found blood and i saw stars
all in the backseat of your car
and i told you it was love
but you don't wanna know the truth
i was young and in my prime
with my heart still filled with fear
and it goes on bleedin'

its august how time flies

where the city meets the sea-the getaway plan

The getaway plan is one of the bands that i could listen 247, until today i still listen to them. Band started out as 4 lads who have strong passion for music, out of Melbourne City, we can see how they got their inspirations, streetlights ,shadows, sleep spindes, all of these have a unique tasting and a different flavour.

streetlights-the getaway plan

shadows-the getaway plan

They will continue to be my favs. <3<3<3

2009-07-25T03:24:00.002+10:00

I sit tight, don't want to miss the show
I hang on, don't want to miss my prime
'Cause time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Stay a while, my baby wants me to
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
But tide will dry, upon my baby's back
Tide will dry, upon my baby's back
I get weak
I get weary
I miss sleep
I get moody
I'm in thoughts
I write songs
I'm in love
I walk on
Fingers crossed, my time is coming now
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
I get weak
I get weary
I miss sleep
I get moody
I'm in thoughts
I write songs
I'm in love
I walk on

moving on.

Get on your dancing feet

cheerio cheerio....lol...just saying that for no reason at all.

feeling a bit of family warmth from the far east of the sea, lol..my mum and her sis are here for a visit...they brought us with the freshest fish from the deep sea, sabah's well known seafood speciality(chewah..), the sweetest mango you well ever find.. (from my KK home)(double the chewah..)...

they are here for holidays/shopping>> mega sales. -.- partially for that and partially to see my sis and i.

sad to say.but it true. we are shopaholic.

it runs in the family..

song of the day= i m not gonna teach your boyfriend to dance with you

its been a while

2009-07-22T02:09:00.002+10:00

hello friend,

its been a while since we chatted, how have you been? what you been busy doing? Does Jayjay still walk you back home? i miss the walkways we used to pass by when we get groceries in Coles. i even miss Annie's ice cream and the grass that we always lay down to while chilling and eating some honeycomb ice cream. the pathway that we will take when we head towards class, the bakery that you would always have potato pie and double shots when we need it. that messy dance floor after 12pm. that unpleasant smell of the ladies toilet in the hall after a Thursday nite. those awesome days where we will hang out with some friends at Surfer's Paradise, checking out people sun bathing at the beach while that hot summer sun burn our feet. those nites being utterly drunk at the beach, while having a sing along like we dont care.

i miss it so much that i m having second thoughts. coming back or what?

from
having second thoughts.

Feel good song of the day

Metric-fantasies

2009-07-06T01:24:00.007+10:00

Metric come out with a new album called Fantasies. i just fall in love with them the moment i hear their songs, help i m alive. Their genre of music is a mixture of dance and indie rock, something that feels so 80's but yet it still relates back to our daily lives, an adolescent making transitions to adulthood, writing our own stories about pursuing love and facing pressures of our daily lives..

gimme sympathy-metric

Get hot, get too close to the flame
Wild, open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday all the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown

I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"

Don't go, stay with the all-unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown

I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"

another one of my favourites.dead disco.

dance, popish, rockish?? eccentric??? combine all this ingredients..it just swallows me up and blows me away...

we were just kids

2009-06-30T00:24:00.003+10:00

missing the peeps in Aussieland.

while me, lost in work and other things as well. work is getting in fast pace motion soon..my pay is coming out tomorrow! thats the only thing that is getting me excited..i need..to feed...the need...to...SHOP!

Plan "slim" is still on. But not on progress yet. I got to admit, i m just too lazy to wake up in the morning. "there is no ugly women, only lazy women" ...lazy bumpers like me. haih..

ooohhh...i made chocolate brownies topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup for my sister, for her birthday..it was so good. instant happy mood booster...

been driving lately as well, with my new car, but i cant get rid of the fear of driving by myself, probably that fear is going to fade out in a couple of weeks. and i got to drive myself to work tomorrow! argh!!

was watching transformers the other day, sitting at the third front row, didnt get the best seats, all the cinemas were packed, even gsc website hanged? thats how crazy people are for transformers.

met my cousin's baby, baby vanessa, uber super cute..she goes "uh oh" like the yahoo messenger.funny sound she makes.

watch out for more updates. here is shiela shiengz signing out. cheerios.

WHAT A GIRL WANTS

2009-06-22T02:19:00.004+10:00

i was at the Curve, and a sudden itch to shop occurs. oohhh look...70% off at Naf nafs. Oh..touch..too..50%....look at all the pretty pretty clothes..hahhh...the urge to shop is so clear. as i m reaching my purse. and i m thinking twice about spending those money. one more week till the cash is flowing in.paycheck goes KaChing! i m anxious.oh...the sound of that brand new shoe calling my name...shiengz..shiengz..so luring...so geram!!

hah...

my car is coming in next week..soon..and andrew says: " you are growing wings now." lol..i m away from my parents..and i m getting a car. anything could happen. honestly speaking i m more worry about the petrol i m going to spend than being excited about getting a new car. i think coz they keep on delaying the car..thats why the excitement died out.

Say hello to my new bachelorette's life. the life of a single, confident, working adult. sounds pretty exciting. i think i just passed the employer's test.

next week is going to be a blast. its hectic. but i ll manage. good work brings self satisfaction. i think one month of working paid off.

watched two movies in a day. i wont watch a scary movie again. it just freaks me out. say no more!!! drag to hell is so gross!!!

insomnia

2009-06-15T03:47:00.002+10:00

for some reason, i cant sleep..when i should be sleeping at this hour, what is this?

perhaps an unsatisfied soul that feels the need to socialise? or perhaps i should meet my friends some time soon? but i m always busy. right now i m really counting on getting my own car, so that i can work out my life more efficiently. maybe i feel the urge to get some privacy? should make a proposal to my parents so that i can get my own room and enjoy some sweet privacy instead of sharing rooms...

here comes the inner accountant, making cash space available for shopping. the shopping diva inside is screaming out loud, dying, crying out to feed the need to shop. meanwhile, here comes the health freak, saying you need to make allowance for fruits and veges..its important..true enough.then, you got to balance it out with the invester who look forward for the future. the cash collector that pays off all the bills. the beauty editor that demands good products for the skin. an overweight gym junkie stuck in A&W coz she cant take his mind off the double mozza cheese burger. the socialite that cant seem to find suitable time for her friends..the workaholic that demands great work and constantly look out for opportunities.

hah.what a messed up mind.

i should fork up some beneath my sleeves for that sweet loving privacy's sake. ahhhh..a place to call my own..nothing beats that.

snow patrol-run

2009-06-13T19:37:00.007+10:00

a great performance by snow patrol..it just make me speechless watching this video..kinda wish i was there to see them....the original is still better than leona lewis's version...feels like hippy kinda love surrounding the stadium..
