Back then, I look forward to conversations with him. Every time we talked, it was fun and refreshing. We never seem to run out of things to say. We just talk, about anything under the sky, of relationships, of troubles with family and friends, of the past, dreams for the future, uncertainties of the present.
Back then, I used to avoid even looking at her. When she opened her mouth to speak, I pretended not to hear. We would never speak directly to one another, some of the time, using another friend as a communicator between us. And if we really have to, strained conversations were held over forced smiles on our faces.
Today, we talked again. Haven't been talking with him in a long time. Topics were superficial, things you ask to avoid awkwardness with people you don't know very well. Why? We're just like strangers.
Today, we talked again. All of a sudden, all those misunderstandings from the past seemed so silly now. I don't even remember why we didn't talk before. She smiled and joked with me. I returned the sentiments. Nothing was strained as we simply just look at each other in the face, no more avoidance, and talk. Why? We're just like friends.
As it should be.

Book Fest @ Malaysia 2009
Tonight was the night I fulfilled my annual fantasy. This only happened once a year, a ritual that I have started from last year. After tonight, it was still as satisfying, still as glorifying as ever.
It was the annual Malaysian Book Fest at KLCC!
Well, friends who knew me, would know that I have no qualms buying novels from time to time. But those times when I did buy, I would only buy authors that I liked and was confident that their books were good. I rarely steer away from those few good ones that I like.
One of the reasons I like going to book fairs was because of the discounted price. Besides saving money, I would also dare try some other authors that I have never read before. This was coz if the book turned out to be bad, at least I didn't pay the full price!
On the way to the book fest, I have already calculated mentally how much I could spend. I still need to save up some of my cash this month for utilities. Okay, I told myself, just RMxxx. No more. Self restrain, I must practice.
But within a few feet of the entrance, I could literally SMELL the books. The smell of new books chilled in air-con. There was an extra skip in my step as I entered the realm of my fantasy. The moment I began putting the second book on top of the first book I took, I knew that my budget of RMxxx was not realistic at all. Ah, money, small detail when it came to fulfilling my destiny tonight. Buahahah~
Check out my loot!!
1. 2 Eason Chan CDs at RM9.90 each!!! (like hello, how to resist??!)
2. Live 3-CD of various Hong Kong singers at a concert, RM9.90
3. A Fraction of the Whole, a novel, Steve Toltz
4. By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Paulo Coelho
5. The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch with Jeffrey Zaslow
6. Keeping Faith, Jodi Picoult
7. The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffennegger
8. Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, John Gray
9. Turn Left, Turn Right, Ji Mi (not sure if the pinyin is right tho)
I am so in love with the idea of so many different books from various genre. Keeping Faith and Time Traveler's Wife were two books that I have been wanting to buy since forever. I intend to read the Time Traveler's Wife before going for the movie version. I do have to admit, Eric Bana's good looks in the trailer did give me the very much needed last prompt to get the book. Good bargain, therefore good buy!
I got myself two 'self-help' books. Zilch told me that Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus was really good. I came across that book at the MPH sales in One U. Stood there for a while reading the first two pages. Immediately I was drawn into the narration. I kept myself from buying then, so I bought it at the book fest. The Last Lecture could be something like Tuesdays with Morrie. I think it was David that told me it was good, and an inspirational read is always a welcome.

25% rebate is definitely better than the usual 20% or 10%.
Bought the second book by Paulo Coelho at 50%. He's a popular author, and I wanted to try one of his books for a long time. But it seemed like such a rip off to get one of his thiner-than-usual-paperback at the normal price. This 50% thing came at a good time.
I have never heard of this author. Never heard of the book. Worst of all, it's from Penguin. Could mean that it's a classic, thus synonymous with *YAWN*... I bought if for the pretty cover! And the first paragraph was not bad. During fairs like this, I'd normally chuck in one completely foreign author. Let's see if the content will live up to the cover.
My CDs, not even exceeding RM30, all three added together.
I pre-ordered their first comic book. KK and Luke are my fav DJs from 988.
It seemed that by pre-ordering, I became their club member by default. I am member #0053. Woohoo~
Ahhh... another huge chunk off my wallet. But no worries, it's month end already. That huge chunck will grow back in no time! Yes, life should be lived always, in the light of optimism.
Ta-da, so long~ Good night!
Could barely keep my eyes open already... *yawn*

Rhythm of the Rain
It was a beautiful morning that started out wrong.
I was supposed to go for a walk/jog with my colleagues one fine morning in this park somewhere near/in Bukit Kiara. Since I don't drive here, I really don't bother about road/location names. Lianne picked me up from my place at about 9 am. We are supposed to meet up with Mike at the park at 9.30 am. We were there at about 9.20. It was only when we didn't see Mike at all when he called to say he has reached that we knew we were at the wrong park.
Off we went, trying to find our way to the park. The correct park was just NEXT to the one we were at! Anyway, suffice to say we managed to begin walking at 11 am.
The first stretch that led into the park was kinda steep. In fact, it was the hardest part of the whole trail. I couldn't talk from the beginning, I needed all my breath to keep my momentum going. When we entered from the real starting point, there were this words painted on the ground "THIS WAY TO BETTER HEALTH". How apt.
From there onwards, the walk was easier. I could talk and have conversations going back and forth. But the best, has yet to happen.
Half way through it all, a drizzle of rain fell. It was just this really light soft curtain of rain falling from the sky. You couldn't even feel it. Mike said from the beginning that we have to continue walking even though it's going to rain. I didn't tell him walking in the rain has been something I wanted to do for a very long time, but just couldn't find the opportunity.
So, we moved onwards, going another round of the park. There was no one else saved the three of us, nature and beautiful rain. At this point, it really began to pour. It was like walking and having a shower head aimed at you all the time.
Peaceful atmosphere that was pierced occasionally with Mike's joking, trees, clean clear air, pouring rain and mist rising from the ground. Ah... plus both Mike's and Lianne's singing. Not the best there is out there, but an experience nonetheless.
The irony of it all was, if Lianne and I didn't get lost trying to find our way to the park, we wouldn't have experienced the rain. All the frustration and foolishness that we felt, actually resulted into something really good. Life is beautiful like that.

演唱會
This was the best song out of the dance medley. Sung by his incomparable vocals, under such an intense atmosphere, this was, without a doubt, the best song of the night. Well, to me, at least. =D Click on the title to try and see what's so great about this song!
演唱會
曲: C Y Kong 詞: 陳詩慧
嘴巴似支槍 那誇張 其實極痕癢
每次我 看見舞台 會令血管都擴張
歌曲太鏗鏘 要分享 來吧盡情唱
節拍太強 教人血脈沸騰 歡呼聲最響
一組擴音 的喇叭 合成電子加結他
一套鼓 跟貝司 已經足夠盡情吧
聽到嗎 聲再沙 亦無礙我放聲吧
演唱會 等於演唱現場 不必多廢話
表演要飛天 坐飛毯 難道是成見
你要看 那個會在舞台 夠膽踩鋼線
可知我偏偏 愛經典 難附和愚見
我有責任 那是繼續唱 讓歌聲響遍天
一組擴音 的喇叭 合成電子加結他
一套鼓 跟貝司 已經足夠盡情吧
聽到嗎 聲再沙 亦無礙我放聲吧
演唱會 等於演唱現場 不必多廢話
興奮嗎 氣氛夠激昂嗎
隨便叫 隨便跳
這一晚可以盡情吧
青筋你都可 看清楚 連熱淚流過
看看我 那裡有別個及我喜歡唱歌
知音有幾多 我的歌 連續地重播
派對裡就似沒晝夜我用Microphone切磋
一組擴音 的喇叭 合成電子加結他
一套鼓 跟貝司 已經足夠盡情吧
聽到嗎 聲再沙 亦無礙我放聲吧
演唱會 等於演唱現場 不必多廢話

聲音再沙 都足以享受嗎

Like, the BEST Ever!
It rained in the afternoon. I was hoping that the sky would pour away, so that it would be clear at night for the concert. On the day itself, Sunday, went over to Kelly's place to put our stuff. It was great seeing her for the first time in ages! The plan was to go for lunch with some friends, head early to the entrance to get a good position then back to Kelly's place for a stayover. Overall, everything worked out incredibly well.
We were at the Sunway Lagoon entrance at about 5.30 p.m. I even told Anonymous, come on, don't be silly. Why wait for so long, when the concert was only going to start at 8p.m.? Thanks to his/her perseverance on not leaving the spot, we managed to be at the front of the pack.
Look at the picture below. The line was already beginning to get long even before six.
The ticket we bought was RM298. But I bought it on the day of the autograph session, so I got 10% off. An awesome deal of RM 270 and we were only several feet away from the stage! I was so happy when I saw the short distance. Immediately, I wanted to stand by the grill, directly below the stage. But Anonymous beckoned me to the back, saying we could get a better view of the overall performance than we could so near the stage. At that time, it seemed like a fine idea. But by the end of the concert, I sorta regretted not standing at the front. The back was alright, but it would have been grand to feel what standing in the first row was like.
When we were at the entrance, we saw this banner that said there's an even more expensive ticket, VVIP, selling at RM398. At that moment, we thought to ourselves, if we knew, we would have considered buying the more expensive one to get a better view.
Check out the picture below. This is the distance between RM298 and RM198.
Since the ticket we bought was already right in front, where the heck could the VVIPs be seated? Apparently, there's this stand that surrounded the Surf Beach. VVIPs were seated there, to get a higher view on the concert as well as being served food. Dank! Luckily we didn't get the VVIP tickets. What's the whole point of going to a concert if you're gonna sit so darn far away, chewing on fried chicken, and losing the freedom to move around??

Due to reasons of his/her own, Anonymous barred me from mentioning his/her presence at the concert. For those of you who knew whom he/she was, please refrained from saying out loud. Buhaha~ Anonymous with his/her ticket.
One thing that truly surprised us was how punctual the audiences were. It was the first concert that I have been to that started right on time, at 8p.m. Look at the crowd. So full even before time.
Myself and Anonymous. Hehe~ With the dumb caricature covering Anonymous' face, for once someone looked stupider than I did.
Lucky for us, we managed to secure this bump on the floor to stand on. Gave us the extra two inches to see Eason better!

Just let me say this: THIS WAS THE BEST EASON'S CONCERT EVER!!!!
All tickets are Rock Zone area, except for the VVIPs. Therefore, the sole purpose of the whole freakin' concert is to rock the night away!
During Stage 9, the last concert in KL last year, he did several fast numbers while showing off his dance moves. It was apparent then that he didn't have the stamina to dance and sing back-to-back at the same time. Even till now, I remembered him panting into his microphone. But after a whole year of tours around the world, he seemed to have built up a strong stamina as well as smoother dance moves. It was exhilarating seeing him so near! SO NEAR! I saw every moves and his every expressions, LIVE! For once, I didn't have to rely on those big screens at the side to see what's happening on the stage!
Another factor that contributed to the atmosphere was us, standing amidst some local Eason fan club members. Those people really knew how to enjoy themselves. They knew the lyrics to every song and were not afraid to move to the music. Standing among them, it pushed the excitement to a whole new level. I especially loved, loved, the dance medley. It was a medley of all his fast tracks, including my fav fast track, 'Live Concert Gig', as well as a compilation of other fast classics by veterans like Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, etc. I have heard of those medley before, though I didn't know the lyrics, that didn't stop me from singing gibberish at the top of my lungs!
I was expecting more costumes this time around. In reality, there was only one costume that he wore, and it was this polka dot shirt right at the beginning. From then on towards the end, it was just T-shirts and track pants. Forget about all those frills. Eason is one singer that if he were to just stand alone on the stage with only a mic, I would have still pay so much to see him.
It was a night of pure Eason Chan. With his great canto classics, several Mandarin songs that I had no idea what they were doing in the line up, some new songs from his H3M album that I loved, Eason's usual hilarious banter with the crowd and the crowd's pure undulated love for everything Eason Chan.
The night would have been perfect if only I brought my SLR. I didn't. The last time I did, the camera was rendered useless by the distance and poor lighting. This last picture was the best I could do with my cheap-a** camera phone.

The Finale Concert
He's coming! He's coming! I AM GOING!!
Okay, all dramatics aside, EASON CHAN is coming to Malaysia for a second time for his 'Eason Chan Moving on Stage 26' concert! It's going to be a finale stop to his world tour. I got the tickets! Got them immediately when I went to his autograph session the other time.
All rock zone, people! No sitting, all standing. That means we will have to get to the place earlier to queue up for good standing position. This will be my third Eason Chan concert. I have my expectations, but Eason has never failed to deliver.
This is an excerpt from an article on an interview he made about this concert:
"演唱會時間短了點，平時是2小時15分左右，唉……但（大馬）最后一站了，難免會唱久一點的……如果過分少少，也不會過分吧？哈！"
"The duration for concert is usually quite short, for about 2 hours and 15 minutes. But this last stop in Malaysia, it wouldn't be over doing it if we were to exceed the time limit a little, right? Ha!"
Eason's encores were always superb. He would sing to the audience's content. I look forward to his interactivity with us as well as him exceeding any silly time limit imposed on the concert. The past two concerts I went to, he sang for about three hours.
Come on, Eason, break your record in Malaysia!

Michael Hui Comedy Talk Show 2009
I haven't been to a stand-up comedy before, have you?
For the weekend, went up to Genting with my family. It seemed that we have been making just such a trip at the average of twice a year. As mentioned, my mom just retired, and she was looking for a short trip some where just to unwind. I suggested her to go catch this Michael Hui Comedy Talk Show in Genting. After much resistance, coz she wanted to go for the Tsai Chin concert instead, and good luck since the ticket to Tsai Chin was sold out, she relented.
I liked Michael Hui. I enjoyed those comedies by the Hui Brothers. Call me old school, but my preference for these canto-pop veterans went way back to my childhood. I was raised in a family where we devour all things Hong Kong. My father used to go to those VCR rental shops just to get those TVB drama series. That's why, up till today, I still prefer TVB dramas and why I enjoy cantonese songs more than others.
I have been to a lot of concerts with my mom. All in the Arena of Stars. We went to watch Sam Hui, the four divas consisting of Francis Yip etc, and Fei Yu Qing. Ugh. The last one was such a horrible bore. Ah, and one more, Mamma Mia, the musical~ awesome! This was at the Budaya centre one thing or another. Hah.
Anyway, back to Michael Hui, I was really looking forward to the show. He did not disappoint, neither did he wow me. His jokes were a little bit on the stereotypical side and sometimes it felt as if we're laughing just for the sake of laughing. One of his better lines was at the very end. He had already taken his bow and left the stage. But people in the arena kept shouting for more, refusing to leave. He then came out again, much to the people's delight. Then he said this, "I am so sorry to say that this is not a concert. So there will not be any encore."
Haha~ funny. But he managed to sing a song. And that's the end. Hopefully, his stint will attract other Hong Kong celebs to come here for a show too. Ah... I would like to go for Jan Lamb's stand up comedy. I have been watching his shows online... very funny! Much more so than Michael Hui's.
One down another to go. Did I say anything about Eason Chan's finale concert to his world tour coming Sunday?
You bet your *** I got the ticket!
Sunday. Eason Chan. Ah.

Eason's Rare Finds
I have finally found out the magical appeal of Imeem.com. All thanks to the GREAT internet connection I have in my place now. Back in Desa, I'll have to wait for a couple of minutes just to play one song. Now, I can play any song, and have it played as if it's stored in my own iTunes.
Awesomeness! I have found some rare finds on Eason's songs. Well, not really that rare, but these are songs that I don't have yet. They are old songs of his, but new and fresh to my ears.
Check out this playlist (yes, I have finally figured out how to create my own playlist from the songs in Imeem):
Eason's Rare Finds (self-proclaimed so). An Eason fan? Hehe~ check out the playlist then.

Eason's Rare Finds (self-proclaimed so). An Eason fan? Hehe~ check out the playlist then.

She's Leaving... On An Airplane
Sayonara, Hooi Fong. Have fun in Japan (fully sponsored!!!!!) Remember my souvenirs!!'A's Are Over Rated. Yes?
'A's are over rated. But I NEED them if I want to have any hope of maintaining my scholarship.
Results are out. My result sucked last sem. I didn't blog about it then. It sucked too bad. This time around, no improvement, but neither did it sink. I just couldn't care anymore. So long as it's still above that border line, I'm cool with it.
When you're out working, school results seemed so inconsequential. So what? But in truth, they mattered a whole great deal. At least for now, they do.
In some ways, I can't wait to finish school. Stupid school results being part of it.

Along The Way...
I was walking home from work with heaviest heart. Lonely Friday nights.. you get the picture.
What made it worse was a call from mom. The whole family has gone out for a celebration dinner for her retirement. People complimented her on her beautiful and professional looking farewell message. I SO wanna go home...
There's this path by the side of the road, which is also along side some of the houses at the place I stay. I walk by on this path everyday, to and fro from work. Some of the mornings, there will be this aunty who came out of her house to clean up around the area by the path. This evening, I saw her again. She has this HUGE dalmatian for company. She looked at me in recognition, and nodded at me.
Just yesterday, as I walked by the path, I noticed there's this boy who was playing with his maid in the garden. They made pistols out of cloth pins. As I walked past them, I heard the boy ask his maid, "Why is there a lady over there?" And this evening, as I walked past his house again, he was just standing there with his maid, looking at me. He smiled and asked rather loudly, "See for what?" Finding it kinda funny, I smiled back and asked him back the same question.
At my place, I noticed there's this house at the corner, couple of doors down, which has this HUGE white hairy dog. It's tied with a leash to the grill. The compound looked really clean. I guess that's the reason why its fur is still so white, I guess. Standing at my gate, I jingled my keys and got the dog to look at my direction. It has this shaggy hair that covered its eyes. Really looking like some fictional dog from a storybook. Huge, white and hairy.
I like walking to and from work. Ah...... I get my entertainment wherever I can.
