Only along with the combo you get...


As the nail polish has started fading off the tips of my fingernails I'm aware it's time to pick another colour to give them a make over and to update you guys with what's going on. Last Thursday, Slushé had a jam session and we came up with a few new covers which are up on my Facebook profile. Hope you guys have the time to check it out and provide feedback which will appreciated well!







Catch The Sun !

Kula Shaker were down in KL performing and how could I miss out on that ? I know I've only been listening to this guys after Dom told me two weeks before but last night was definitely worth it. Now, I'm just more hooked on to them ... haha


We left the house at about 6:30pm then reached Life Centre within an hour amazingly.


My uncle was so excited about playing Need For Speed on his new iPhone, guess he had a better time in the traffic jam than me haha.


We were staring at that for about half an hour. Ooh pretty blue smoke.


That's the cafe- like-VIP section a level above us. I was down at the mosh pit receiving the direct energy of the music. :D

It got scary when the guy in front of me started jumping cause he was so tall ! There were mostly indie people, hippies and twenty year olds among the crowd haha.

The place was packed but even being on time we managed to stand right in front. About less than two feet away from the stage, less than two feet away from Crispian. ;)

The first few songs got the crowd the singing and dancing a little but by the time they played Hey Dude & Hush, it was hard not to jump like a hyperactive kid with a sugar rush ! Wohoo.


Really salute the drummer he did gooooooood !

Kula Shaker saved one of their biggest hits Govinda for last. The whole song isn't in English but I am sure that it's about praising the Gods. I did kind of enjoy that considering I had no idea what I was singing haha.



It was an awesome show. Thank you, Kula Shaker !
Even my uncle loved them having no idea of what they sound like at all until he saw them perform yesterday.

Flow With Me

Yesterday, while chilling in the Prefect's Room with the rest of my Slushés we took advantage of the sudden urge to perform for crowd at the Speaker's Corner, thanks to our spontaneity. Most bands start off with street performing, cafés or competitions but we do it differently I guess. Haha. Sometimes I'm happy we get these crazy rushes to do some things we'd probably chicken out if we took some time to think through it. Talking about rushing ...


Shall we follow our spontaneity more !

Feeling kind of like a politician after saying that,
Kiru.

A Different City Every Night

I'm starting to have the feeling that I should get a planner. I have got coursework to complete, events to plan -including a camp-, got picked to go for day trips to caves ? And the usual such as preparing for mid-terms. It's not that I don't have all of this under control, it's just that I don't own the best memory.

Anyways ! Has anyone heard of Bruno Mars ? I could be a possible fan of him in a matter of days really. He's the guy with the lovely voice in remix for Beautiful Girls called Nothing On You with B.o.B and he also featured in Travie's latest song Billionaire. He has done several other collabs but none that really lasted on mainstream as I remember. But nonetheless, this guy is jazzy & smooth that I honestly think that it's a must all of you indie-lovers to check his music out ! 8D

Gimme Some Shu Baa Baa


We're working on a song now. I know, in the mids of all of these classes you decide to spend time on making a song ?!

But I think, whatever that gives you self satisfaction should be achieved when you can. It's like busting a move on someone you've been admiring for months. You don't get the guts to do it until this one fine day where you've builded up enough confidence to do so.


I'm very much look forward to this. Hehe. -crosses fingers-

Here's something cool I got off Youtube. Heard for the first time in Najla's car though. She kept blaming me for all the overly happy songs playing when I hopped in. Haha. xD

Bland, everything's BLAND !

Trials #2 is beginning tomorrow with Geography.
What perfect timing to catch a cold, right ? The only thing which my throat accepts generously without complaint seems to be hot tea. So, I'm at my fifth cup for the day already. Tea's a creation from heaven or the UK. Whatever, it's amazing. -thumbs up to Brits


Third Eye Blind's out with a new album ! I don't think it's available in Malaysia yet though 'cause I tried to go find for it in 1u yesterday. And all I said after getting out of each store was " This store sucks ". But you could still get it off iTunes with the help of Momma's little golden rectangular friend which particularly can be found in the card holder in her bag.



Ohh, did I mention that I held the elevator for this lady with a trolley for almost 7 minutes 45 seconds and she didn't even freaking thank me ? Alright, that was completely irrelevant. Explains how my mind works at most random when I'm not feeling too good.
la mia testa fa male !
3 more weeks. Hang in there everyone.

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just walk on by.
(Don't believe it) 'Cause this moment will pass and then we can all,
Can all get high, yeah.

Awh Fried Peanuts And Melted Jelly

Momma's not gonna let me go to school for the week. Except Friday 'cause of the swine flu cases every school is probably going to get accustomed to by now.

=___________=
Omg much.

Oh by the way, i even got a jap for the seasonal flu. So, im indestructable now ! :D
-cough cough. NOT. Why am I feeling so sarcastic ?

So, anyways last Sunday we all went to the other house to clear out some stuff. And I got reunited with Woody. Heheee. I missed Woody a lot and almost forgot he even excisted. Shh, dont tell him. Haha.



I couldn't find his cowboy hat. F*ck. D:




Ah, now the sky could be blue, I don't mind,
Without you it's a waste of time,
Could be blue, I dont mind,
Without you it's a waste of time.

We're gonna do this for the last time in our lives. So, let's do it good.

Yeah, I bet you guys know what I'm talking about. I wont mention it.

Don't Chu 58 Days Me

Ahh, so a lot of people I know having been taking notice of the countdown board for PMR. Frankly, I say we shouldn't count the days. Cause when you start counting days, eventually you would start counting the hours ( Like omg, I only have another 1372 hours til' PMR ! ) and probably minutes ... then seconds. :S

We still got two more months, peeps. So let's spend it skillfully and not by turning ourselves into potential high blood pressure patients. 'Cause that ain't dope.

DOPE. I like that word. And have been trying to use it for the past few hours more than average.


Nasy Kiru Najla

-stares at my extra long correction tape

It's pretty dope, eh ?

Kiru ! Dope ?! For a correction tape ?! Hahaha.

Hell yeah, it's like 10m long.

Mine's 12m. Haha. Beat that. >: )

Ohh ohh yeah sure, so that's how it's gonna be, huh ? ... -grabs correction tape from Nasy

Sam Harris is the man for poetic love songs ! This one is of my personal favourites.



Time For Lift Off



If you don't feel like a superhero inside, how could you possibly show it outside ? Now to generate all the energy into positive perspective it all begins with your inner thoughts. It's simple really, for example ; Your at camp & there's the wall climbing activity going on. First your all pumped up about it. But after watching several others struggling while being strapped on to the harness, it gets you thinking twice " Well, that looks awfully painful ". Now, that's the kind of negative energy almost EVERYONE seems to vulnerable to. It's sad really, 'cause your letting an unconfirmed thought take over your future actions.


Remember, that the mind has control over what you do to. The more you think you can't, you can't. But flip that the other way around and watch what could possibly happen. One word, amazing.

PS: Those fancy Superman knickers are available at any TopShop outlet for less than $30.

:DDDDD

What could you find flooding my iTunes lately ?





Feeling responsible to be generous with optimism today,
Kiru.

Glowstick Dancer

Always had a thing for techno, hardstyle, electro. " The kid listens to Jason Mraz & Cascada ? " You guys might be thinking. But I'm the Buddha for music. You got it good, you got my attention. Dance music lifts you up even without the help of those little white pills. But some prefer getting some down anyway. -pshh

Here's a new one from Milk inc.



Enjoy my triple burrito eating maniacs,
Kiru.

All The Way Down A Sidewalk

Push aside your Secondhand Serenade for the moment. And enjoy some good alternative, the music of motivation. That's what I call it.

Unordinary, That's What You Call Amazing

I've developed a craze for Bjork.

Just like many people I know, I found her weird, crazy & just so extremely hard to understand. But I just found out you can never connect to Bjork's music until you find that one song. That one song you can relate to so perfectly. Perhaps by the lyrics, music, video or something else. After that, there's absolutely no end to it. You just want more and more ... then you get sort of get the hang of her music and her out-of-this-world style but you tend to love & not only like everything about her.

Freeway

Exams are finally over!

That's also the answer for my temporary dissapearence. Hehe.
My latest obsession The Ting Tings. Yes, the cute lil' Brit girl with the drummer who mumbles in the background to perhaps add on some beat to the songs. Haha. Truly addictive couple I've got to say.

Here is a retro hit which has taken over the world.


Shut Up And Let Me Go

More updates to come this weekend. :D

Bimbotic But Addictive

Can't hold it back no longer. Might as well just -

Im addictied to When I Grow Up by Pussycat Dolls !

I know, it's almost the least expected thing you would hear from me. But I always liked something about their songs. Lets skip the awkward moment please.

Starring in the video is the new Asian Doll. Think she doesn't look that bad compared to most asians with blond colored hair. That's her at the left corner.



Pussycat Dolls [PCD]_ When i grow up

This pic is so candid. Rofl. Weird this was the only shot with her and the dolls. So I didn't really have much choice. =/

Though can't deny that Nicole's the hottest among the dolls. Can't believe that she was actually married before PCD. Her partically Hawaiian features really stand out. I still remember the first time I saw her name on this magazine cover when I was ten, it went something like this.



Ooh...she's pretty. What's her name?

Nicole Shear- Erm.

Nicole Shez- What the hell?

Nicole Shee..zingger. No that's not it.

Okay, let's try this slowly. Nicole Sche- err - zing - err

Omgosh. I got it. * applause *



Pussycat Dolls [PCD]_ When i grow up

And here's the music video of When I Grow Up. :)




Will blog Prefect's Camp '08 over the weekend, when I get the pictures from Yi Yuan. It was a BLAST.

Exploring?


A couple of months back I picked out this book from MPH. Only started reading The Bermudez Triangle during the holidays. Not kiddin' it's a really funny and nice book about everlasting friendship. But I happened to miss out the part in the synopsis where it mentioned two of the three besties fell in love. And yes their both girls.

Personally I don't think it's wrong to be bisexual, lesbian or gay. Their just ordinary people with a unique taste in love compared to most of us. Nobody should be judged be alien-ed away from a society just because their different. Remember, one big happy family?


And talking about lesbians...

You know when you really try to ignore the lyrics. It'd sound something like. Da-bee-dee-da-doo-doo-dee. And I love the title of Katy Perry's new album, Ur So Gay! Haha. Going to The Curve now. Let the celebrations for Father's Day begin,baby! :D

Unique Musical

Didn't have time to talk about Jason Mraz's latest album last week. And I happen to get a copy ;)
It might not be an all acoustic album but most of the songs sound really good. He did a fantastic job with the lyrics once again. A song with good lyrics makes the listener pay not much attention to it's music. That doesnt mean the music wasn't good. It was nice too. Haha.

My attempt on making a cheese sandwich turn to a bad side. Here's my spectacular recipe

2 slices of cheese
2 slices of bread
chillie sauce

Everything went fine, till it got a little cold and the cheese started to smell. Guess the my theory " More cheese, more fun! " doesn't really suit for everything =/ So, i settled for my favourtie chakoi instead. Thank God Mom bought some on her way back from DU.

Okay, so everybody loves Mariah Carey right? I do too. And im sort of addicted to Bye now. Don't know why though...Anyways, if you haven't heard it. I took the time to post up the video *grins*.

3 Doors Down sre back again!. Present to you It's Not My Time


One Republic came up with a new song too. A not so depressing one this time. :)

Just some song updates for you guys. Im off to watch practice my guitar now. Mr Lim thought me how to Drive by Incubus. Wheeee!

Dipped In Wishes

Well, im pretty sure most people already know. That it's my...


BIRTHDAY!


Hehe. Im 14 now and feeling rather happy? Anyway, further celebrations will be after the exams. Will post pictures of gifts and stuff as soon as the pest control gets to my house. Why?
Well because a long black snake has been slithering around the house walls. And my maid spotted it hanging off our aircond yesterday. Poor little fellow. Dont worry you'll be set free into the wild by the end of today :)

Another fantastic song and music video from Jason Mraz.

Thank you to all the wishes so far and that are going to come!

Coral's Island



Oh my gosh, I've been so busy for the past few days. Turning into my freaky self again. Currently registiring almost everything from my revision books.
Anyway, I found this great video that I simply had to share with you guys. A work of art!

And here's a lovely song by Emmy Rossum. Try listening to it a couple of times. Then, you'll get addicted


Better get back to Geo. Won't be hearing from me for the next few days. So don't cry arr ;)

Jumping On Clouds


We might be floating in different ways but we're still together


Guess what? I'm a CEMPAKIAN now. It was rather depressing at first when our names were announced in the hall, Cindi would be in Teratai for this 2008. It isn't a big deal being prefects we have more outdoor activities together than in class. Koko is also a great time to hangout. I've decided to accept this as a chance to improve in my studies and to get to know people. Not that I haven't but just a little bit more. Cempaka has pride, is one of the 1st classes and got gaya mah :)

By the way watch this video. The intro is awesome.
