What's best about June this year,

SOUTH AFRICA-WORLD CUP 2010

I usually have been a loyal supporter for the Brazilian national team. But this year, I'm not sure anymore.
 So, this time around, I'm going to be a supporter to the Germans!!! And the Spaniards.. And the Italians.
Hahaha..!! I seriously dont know which country team to support this time. But I better make up my mind quick cos the game is starting really soon.

And Life Goes On.

Few things had happened since the last I blogged. Bothered me till the extend that I had to cried myself to sleep. Can human be any more cruel to each other? I know so that they can. If I've followed my heart, Bad things will unfold. Thank GOD for bestowing me with smart thinking brain.

On the happier note, 

I VERY MUCH FELL IN LOVE WITH MY HAMSTER ALL OVER AGAIN TODAY.

Walking under the sun being baked brought back the memory of when we first 'hang out' only just the two of us. That time there was still no spark of love.

I didnt even care how my hair was. 

Till the point when I was sitting opposite him having some drinks to cool off,thats when I'm itching to get to the toilet, to check on my hair. 

Sitting so near to him, opposite him, where our knees can collide.

Memories.

Lovely. :)

DIMITAR IVANOV BERBATOV

He's been in Man Utd from 1st of September 2008, playing as striker and wearing the Number 9 shirt.

Dimitar Berbatov is playing for the National team of Bulgaria since 1999.

He has scored 41 goals in 64 matches – even more than the legendary footballer Hristo Stoichkov.

Berbatov was awarded for “Bulgarian Footballer of the Year” 4 times – 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2007.

In his country he is Mitko Berbatov. Some fans also call him “Berbo” and “Berba”.

Can you feel his energy in this photo? I can.

Her Morning Elegance

A song by OREN LAVIE

 

 Here's the music video for his song, HER MORNING ELEGANCE

Her Morning Elegance music video was made of exactly 2096 still photographs, shot and sequenced to create the sense of movement using stop motion technique.
After going from stills to motion, the artists decided to break the motion back to its still form and exhibit the 2096 individual photographs in gallery exhibitions worldwide.
Each still photograph will be printed once as a single edition print and sold through this website.
Once a photograph is sold, the corresponding second in the video will no longer be available.
With the very last frame sold, the video will have been broken apart, back to its original 2096 pieces, spread worldwide and hung in 2096 homes and galleries.

MONKEY MAJIK - Monkey Majik - With You

 

Yes, yes, I'm hooked to MONKEY MAJIK!

My Hamster introduced me to this group.

Here's the info I got on the 'group'.

Monkey Majik is a Japanese band composed of two Canadian brothers, Maynard and Blaise Plant, who both perform vocals and guitar, drummer Tax and bassist DICK. 

The band is sometimes referred to as a "hybrid-band", as half of the members are foreigners and the lyrics are sung in both English and Japanese.

Much of the band's music has been cross-promoted via television programs, commercials, and movies. 

The band has been chosen as “Goodwill Ambassadors” for the 80th anniversary of Japanese-Canadian relations.

Monkey Majik is managed by Edward Limited and are signed to Binyl Records, an avex subsidiary. Their live recordings are handled by Under Horse Records, a record company the band was signed on to before their major label debut.

The band, even after mainstream success, is still based in Sendai, located roughly 350 km from Tokyo. This is contrary to the majority of musicians in Japan, who often move to Tokyo after mainstream success.

HAMSTER THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THEIR 

BOOTY-LICIOUS/ HAND-TAPPING/ FEET-STOMPING SONGS!

~LATELY~

I've been ''really'' busy last week. This week and the weeks ahead too.

Sharing some bits and pieces of what I've been doing lately since my last post. :)

Our group work on Architecture & Culture 301

The group member at work. Before the play began. ;D

Moved to the room downstairs. Such a teeny weeny room. But I managed to plan for maximum space usage.

SPATIAL PLANNING comes handy. :)

My new work station. At the corner of the living room.

OK.

THAT'S IT FOR THIS TIME BEING

Gotta finish this.

And look at HIM!

and last but not least, their poster that I putted up in my room.

Can Life Give Me More?

No.. I'm not being greedy. I'm just wondering about the question people who are not satisfied will question bout their life.

I'm happy the way my life turns out.

What I went through when I was still young, made me a rebel when I was a teenager. When I was  teenager, I rebelled and get to meet many different people I'd never have thought I'll meet. Boys will be always be boys. That's all I can say. And my girls, you girls are the greatest memories of my teenage years. Even up till now. I'd never trade my place with anyone.

To my parents, sorry for all the headaches I had caused over the years. I had learnt so much. SO MUCH. All the scoldings and lectures, you'd have thought I never think about it. The times when I'm not a chatter box, I'm always thinking deep. Deep thoughts always fills up my head. I will never forget the day my father told my class teacher that I am very much different than the rest of my siblings. At first I thought it's a bad thing, that a lump felt stuck at my throat. Months goes by, and the words kept playing in my head. I realised what he meant by that. I am different from the rest of my siblings.

I am the only one who can connect with each of my siblings. All in a different way. I am the best person to talk to my older brother, whom always thought everyone is being unfair towards him. I can chat happily to my older sister, who is uber nice but sensitive at times. I can make stupid ridiculous jokes with my younger brother, who is still a  mama's boy even now he's 18. And I can make up plans with my younger sister to put on some make up and play with the colors and camera and pretend we're models.

I am the one my father trust to be able to take care of myself. The one my father know is emotionally, mentally and physically capable to stand on my own. When I was sent for a stint in the National Service training, the only thing I complained about is they have ugly shiny shoes for girls. And I refused to wear them to the character building classes. When my dad wanted me to take medicine, along with my older sister, I refused. And when he asked what I wanted to do then, I confidently told him, architecture.

I was the only one who have my own plan right after finishing high school. Who knew what field I wanna be involved in. My parents never have long chats with me over the phone the past 4 years I'm here on my own. I do miss home, but I dont show it. I felt like if I ever show my emotions, I'll be deemed as weak at heart.

Am I really not weak at heart? I don't know... I'm just glad I have someone to share my feelings with, without bothering my parents and make them feel worried.
