Ass galore!

Happily Sexed and ...

Being an ardent fan of Sex and The City TV series, I did what most Malaysians (or so I thought) would do: travelled 400++ km, survived a highway breakdown, 2 police blocks, 1 ‘saman’ ticket (for not buckling up the seat belt), spent $ 20 (that’s Singapore dollars) and by 4.15pm Sunday 6^th of July I find myself snuggling to BB and imagining myself walking down the streets in New York with my four best friends: Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda.

Awesomeness

Dayyym! Last night’s Dram Project (does that spell as ‘dreamt’ or ‘d-ram?) was smoking hot! I almost go blind from over exposure from pure awesomeness. Sheena’s (the reason I’m there in the first place) performance was THE bomb. I’m telling ya’ll that gurl is going waaay far and making all her hommies proud of her too. Last night got me thinking that there are plenty of KLians and PJnites who are actually making changes to the art scene in Malaysia. They are DOING something and not just talking bout it. I must admit though I haven’t been making much effort to be part of those who are making those changing, let alone participating in them. But, I’m all out to support them. Hearsay.

P/S: BB and I left to Singapore after the gig and we survived our secong highway-breakdown. Apparently its an on-going scam at Malaysian highways. Your tyres get easily ripped-off and the tow-trucks will come to the rescue in less than 3 mins- its either they are super-efficient at their work or they knew it was coming. What have BB and I learnt from this experience? 3 a.m Alor Gajah R&R ain't such a bad place for a quickie. LOL

It's Complicated

OK. I 've decided to re-write this post instead of editing it. By nature all relationships are complicated, agree? So what's the difference when you state your relationship status as 'In a Relationship' / 'It's Complicated'? A Macadamia cookie for your thought.

Dude, how weird is that?

I secretly listen to Rock Classic before I go to sleep. (Eeleen and Jeff: don’t even think about it) But hey, I do like to be stuck in the time-bomb before I go off to bed; helps to keep things real, you know? OK, I’m not here to tell you about my ‘weird’ dos or my passion for music but to share a thought with you guys (I bet my new hair-do that the chances of this post being read is close to none, but what the heck)

I recently had a conversation with my new best friend (I change my BFF every week) about Juno and Diablo Cody and not to anyone’s surprise, the topic of ‘weird-ness’ came into place. Thing is, can somebody tell me what ‘weird’ simply means?  The dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopaedia and the World Wide Web don’t exactly  tell you who is weird and who is not, do they?

Point I’m trying to make is, if being weird simply means that you are different; doesn’t that make each and every one of us guilty of being one? Now before you start throwing your undies and panties at me (which I don't mind :P) I seriously  haven’t met a soul who looks, acts, likes, dislikes, listens, and says the same things as I do. Now, how weird is that? You tell me.

R.I.P Mr. Casanova

You know when they say you'll learn about yourself everyday? They were not kidding. Like I've discovered that :

1. In 6 months, 2 weeks and 8 days I'll turn 26.

2. I'm a reality TV addict. I mean who doesn't watch American Idol/ America's Next Top Model /Channel V's Parental Control, huh? Lately I couldn't get enough of Tila Tequila's A Shot at Love. I find myself hyperventilating while waiting who will be eliminated at each episode. Yeiks.

P/S: For those of you who don't know what the heck I'm talking about OR you have never heard of Tila's name before, I highly recommend Myspace and Youtube. It is highly unlikely that you'll be watching the show in Astro/ mainstream TV channels. Here's some juicy hint to keep your imagination going: picture 16 straight guys and lesbos fighting for a bisex celebrity.

3. I love Heath Ledger. I've actually watched ALL of his films. He made cowboy hats and gay sex as something 'o lala' and after Casanova and A Knight's Tale, I've been secretly wishing that I own a horse, and riding with him, and hmm.. (others are better left unsaid).

The Perfect Relationship

Change is neither good or bad.  It is inevitable. I'm writing this blog (which has been quite a long hiatus) because I've spoken with soooooooo many people lately who have described how their relationships were "failing," spiraling downward, or stagnant.

I ask, then, if relationships end because of money, personality differences, irreconcilable differences, etc.... then why are we not more careful when we begin them? 

If it's a nice body, looks, or health, why not look for someone who values these things? 

And here's what i think; many relationships fail merely because one person, or both, get "bored."    There is no such thing as a "perfect relationship."  We can only seek to be in ideal relationships which is a concept defined differently by each and every person. And even after 4 years of relationship with Bee (with our theme song Akon's "Nobody wants us to be together")  I am still learning the concepts of trust, integrity, & loyalty...and if these qualities are solidified over time alongside with undying love, I don't mind marrying him and having kids (plural intened) of our own. :)

Little details that make you happy

Here's what my today's horoscope says:

When you look at a masterpiece painting, it's not only the painting itself that gives you such pleasure -- it's also the brushstrokes you can see only when you stand up close. Today, stand up close to your life and take in the little details that make it all so special. The goofy laugh of friend, the way your loved one makes throat-clearing noises before saying something sweet, or the odd expressions a coworker uses to boost team morale. Soak them in, because they're the real substance of life.

I guess even the horoscope can tell that I'm really bored and that I am in need of tiny little details to keep me going. Ahh.. i need my coffee!

2006 is the hardest and most challenging year of my life thus far. When my brother moved on to what I hope is a better place, I honestly didn`t think I could go on anymore. Nor did I want to.  But here I am. It`s ironic when I think about it... Even though I feel the weakest I`ve ever been, I must simultaneously be at my strongest too... because I`m still here. Life dealt me the toughest cards yet, but I`m getting by day by day.  I feel alot of change happening within myself. I doubt that`s uncommon after experiencing something so traumatic. I`m a much more settled person these days. The things that used to matter before, like a weekend of clubbing, don`t hold the same appeal as they used to. I`m over it, and I`m glad I`m over it. I have alot of internal battles to try and deal with that are by far more important than that.

Ruminating

To my horror I realised that most of us tend to forget that our actions will effect the next generations, as well as our children who are alive today. I realised that we need a change to all the systems we have been following. Our economical development, our political structures, even down to our urban planning. They have all failed us as humans and as societies. Our regard for each other is almost non-existent. In a world where human life can be counted in mere dollars and cents we no longer exist as humans but masses of slaves. Slaves to, what clothes we must wear to be cool and what car is the best to drive. We who were once that most intelligent of the animals have become, just, animals.  We kill and destroy each other for profit something that we can never take away ..when we leave these shells we call our bodies. Amen.
