Mamma Mia Camp Rock!

Ok I am planning to stop blabbing about Camp Rock and The Jonas Brothers after this post. I promise.

Watched it last night! Whooohooo =D A quick review. *Spoiler Ahead*

I thought the plot could've been a little bit better. I felt some of the scenes didn't really connect. Like how Tess found out that Mitchie is the girl Shane's looking for and how she stole her song book and the audience would naturally think that Tess would be doing the song "This Is Me" for Final Jam, stealing Mitchie's limelight. But it didn't happen so. And then, there were some other missing pieces here and there.

Overall, it was ok. Demi Lovato is such a breath of fresh air. She just has this very infectious smile. A big, wide smile =) And if it wasn't for the fact that the JBs and Demi are the main cast, I think I would seriously consider watching it at all. Stop. You don't even have to ask if Joe is hot. YES HE IS.

In fact, I think HSM set the benchmark for all the Disney Channel Original Movies. It is THE epitome, you know. Like how I remember all the songs from HSM cos they're so good. Everyone of it. HSM 2 should have a switch in title, to like "Troy and Gabriella's Moment" or something. Seriously. I like "Gotta Find You", "This Is Me", "Here I Am" and "Play My Music" in Camp Rock =D cos they were the only ones that sounded good anyway. LOL


I watched Mamma Mia too! Loved it loved it loved it ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Meryl Streep can really sing. Amanda Seyfried is so gorgeous. Julie Walters is such fun to watch. Colin Firth is so freakin' hot with his guitar. Pierce Brosnan CANNOT sing. Stellan Skarsgard is bad (I dont know why but he reminds me of the octopus guy in Pirates of the Caribbean).

It is good. So good. Period. Watch it yourself. I'm tired of typing and figuring the words to describing how much I loved it.

Camp Rock!

Like oh my god. I bought the dvd already! Gasp! =D

Jonas Frenziieee!!

I missed Camp Rock on Disney Channel. I cannot believe it. Why don't I have an astro in KL?! And I just can't find the right place to download it. GRrr!

"When You Look Me In The Eye", in my opinion, is currently the best song from the Jonas Brothers. I didn't quite understand the whole JB frenzy that hit the world since their debut single. I think they're really talented, they write really good songs and that they're really fashion forward but I just wasn't so into them yet. Maybe I was looking, but I wasn't seeing, you know?

But I have to tell you this. Mich and I so totally agree that Nick Jonas is hot. Like REALLY HOT. There's just something about him. And then, if you've catched a glimpse or seen Joe Jonas in Camp Rock, the scene with Demi Lovato "I Gotta Find You", you have to be crazy if you don't think Joe is drop dead gorgeous. I mean seriously. Plus, that song - it is just amazing. I could just listen to it over and over again on my player, on my mp3. Again and again. It REALLY is that good. And it just makes me wanna watch Camp Rock so badly! =(

Joe Jonas



Nick Jonas



Yeah, I'd like to have a guy that plays the guitar too. Sigh.



Jonas Brothers rock! =D

A crush and a Love Story

Verse 1

I hung up the phone tonight,
something happened for the first time,
deep inside it was a rush, what a rush,
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same away about me,
it’s just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth, all I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know

Chorus

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love, is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

Verse 2

Has it ever cross your mind when we’re hangin’, spending time girl,
are we just friends, is there more, is there more,
See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take, cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last,
last forever, forever

Chorus

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love, is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

Bridge

Why do I keep running from the truth, all I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know

Chorus

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love, is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

This song is absurdly infectious!

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd and say hello;
Little did I know That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'"

And I said, "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me;
I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"

And I said, "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'
Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a life story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh. I got tired of waiting, Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,

And I said, "Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
Oh, oh. We were both young when I first saw you...

Victory!

WE WON! *confetti* IMU CUP 2008!!

GO M206!! *more confetti*

Too Hot To Be True!

I swear I could've just stripped my clothes off yesterday if it weren't because of the fact that we were in a hospital. Seriously. Hospital Seremban (HTJ) is just as hot as a baking oven! We were just literally drenched from head to toe! The oh-so-thick labcoat with its long stupid sleeves didn't help at all. Imagine standing right under the sun with its scorching rays in an open field. Yeah you get the idea. How do the doctors, patients, nurses and students live with THAT honestly.

Anyways, all we did there was clerk the orthopedic patients, present it to the doctor (in our case, we had Mr.Chan) and get ourselves completely and utterly exhausted after all of it. And since we had such limited time to prepare our case (ok, maybe our history taking skills still suck), Mr Chan commented on a few things lah. A bit strict, but nonetheless, he's nice.

A little drama at the end to add some spice LOL (thanks to the heat stroke idiot). Met Cheng Ling there =) Didn't meet Fen =( BOOhooo! Saw some really cute docs (HAHA afterall, that was what me and Surin were looking forward to for this trip lol). Can never really get what Cho said to me out of my damn skull. He said "you know my senior said, if medic girls don't get a guy by the 4th or 5th year, then gone lah". ..........................................Ok, a bit of pressure there. But I'm gonna shake it off. =D LOL

Came back completely lifeless. Had to read my stupid CSU. It turned out to be quite fun actually today. No stress. Dr. Jac, what do you expect? =)

Last week's notes and this week's are piling up. Time never flew this fast before. And I've never been so short of time in my entire 4 sems here. It just had to be my final sem, with a final exam at the end of it. GREAT.

Still waiting..

It's the 16th of September already. To be precise, it's almost the end of 16th September now. LOL. Nothing has happened. Or will it?

It seems people are pretty excited over this whole transition thing. The first thing we spoke about this morning in PBL was "wahh..it's today lehh..don't know got or not" LOL

Joon Heng came in and his first word was "reformasi!"

Kar asked me "so how? scared or not?"

Yilin said "wahh if got riot then they send us all home. good lor! can go home" LOL

Anyways, I think I'd like to think that that day, reformasi day will come. Just not yet. Soon.

We're all waiting.

The Return of The Boybands

Whoever said boybands are history? Whoever said boybands are just...typically boybands, guys with killer looks who does cheesy songs? What a huge misconception that is.

Let's see. The Beatles were one of the biggest hit back when I hadn't exist. I'd have to say John Lennon is more of a talent that Paul McCartney is. Sorry dude. Or maybe, I'm just too tired of the whole drama between McCartney and his stupid wife (you-know-who). Ex-wife, to be exact. Their songs surpass all age, all barriers and they're a joy to listen to. "Imagine" and "Let It Be". Definitely my all-time Beatles favourite =)



And then, here comes Take That. Never really a big fan of them. Gary Barlow was the only one worth watching anyways. Robbie Williams...err no comments. Then, the ghastly news of them breaking up, with Robbie leaving. Boy, were the girls in tears. I was only less than 10 years of age? What could I have done? My hormones weren't at a rise yet! LOL However, they did have some pretty good songs to boot as well. "Back For Good" was definitely my kind of hit. Good job to Robbie Williams though. Leaving the group proved to be a massive change in his life. =D

The age of boybands didn't just stop there. There were more. More, more and more that I couldn't possibly list them all here. (Spice Girls is a girl band lah, you idiot). LOL

OOOhhh..Boyzone. Definitely one of my favourites back in the 90's. The news of Stephen being gay was terrible. However, it was Ronan Keating that we were all interested in. In fact, he and Stephen were the only ones singing. And after Stephen became infamous with his gay news, Ronan seems to be the leading frontman. Teehee! I really liked "No Matter What" and "Love Me For a Reason" although it wasn't originally sung by them but the fact that I heard it first from them made all the difference =) Again, the frontman had to fly solo. He did it well I must say. But here they are, back with a blast again! With "Love You Anyway" (found this from papa) HEe!



Here's another boyband I ain't that familiar with. New Kids On The Block. Heard of them back when I was a toddler. Never heard their old songs at all. Even if I did, I wouldn't know anyways. Joey McIntyre went solo and delivered "Stay The Same" and that was all that was ever worth hearing from him. At least, to me. I guess people never get tired of come-back-boybands. So they released their new single "Summertime". Not exactly all hyped up about that song lah. It's just OKKK...Plus none of them appeal to me. Sadly.

This next group, all famous, all cool and all well-known. Need I say more. Backstreet Boys. Cat's a huge fan of them. I'm not. I always thought they were a threat and rival to my all time favourite boyband which I'd definitely be discussing later here. If you know me well enough, you'd know what I'm referring to right away. This whole frenzy over BSB, I never really understood it. Nick Carter was the only cute one. But ever since he dated Britney, blah, all down the drain. Plus, he's such a spoilt rich kid. Go watch "The Carters" or "The Carter's house" or whatever that was aired on E! some time ago. I couldn't be bothered anyways. Brian Litrell was the only person to look up to really. But I have to say, a lot of their songs are really good.

"I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did, as long as you love me"
"Everybody yeah...yeahhhhhh...Rock your body yeah..YEahhh" LOL

And of course, there's a whole list of their newest songs. And since I'm not a huge fan, I'll leave it to rest here. Hee!

Ahhh..my all-time favourite. The love of my life. The king of my heart. The MEN of my dreams. With an autobiography to be proud of. My true inspiration. WESTLIFE. I can never, ever, ever, forget them. NEVER. From Shane, to Kian, Nicky, Bryan and Mark, I love them all. Despite being gay, I still love you Mark. I remember all their full names (trust me, they're LONG), I remember their birth dates. I remember which city they come from. I remember how it all happened. Phew. I fell in love with them almost instantly the first time I heard "Swear It Again" and there were only good things to come after that. I don't care if they did covers. I don't care that people think their version of the covers sound bad. I don't care if "You Raise Me Up" can never beat Josh Groban's. I don't care if people think that Shane and Mark are the only two who can sing well because I think that Bryan, Kian and Nicky they're all unique in their own way. I cried when Bryan left. I did. But hey, his new song is pretty good. Go check it out, "Like Only a Woman Can".

After so much of covers, here they are once again. Back, and better than ever before. With a new album, much anticipated one that is. "Home". All of it my favourite. Definitely. I grew up with them. I got through some of my darkest days with them. They've been such an inspiration to me whenever I needed strength. 10 years with Westlife. That's a long time. But there's definitely a lot more to come. Here's "Something Right", loved it to bits. I hope you enjoy them as I much as I do.





Tell me that isn't good and I'd kick your ass. By the way, this post is inspired by papa, Cmei, after reading her Boyzone post LOL. Now that's a huge Ronan and Boyzone fan, people! =D Who says boybands are lousy? You got it all wrong, hun.

WESTLIFE RULES!

Happy Mooncake Festival!

Happy mooncake festival everyone!

My first "pat yuet sap mm" (sorry for the bad pinyin) away from home. Sigh. Plus, today's my uncle's wedding day. BOOhooo..No ang paus for me. No goodie food for me too. Anyways, I suppose my plan, engineered by Sooi (LOL) might just work out tonight. =)

Ever wondered what the Mid-Autumn Festival was all about? Read it only if you're extremely bored to death. Hee..I find it pretty interesting too. You know, the typical Chinese myths and legends. Aha =D

Moon-walking Goddess

A popular Chinese myth related to the Mooncake Festival involves the immortal Chang Er who lives on the moon. She was very beautiful and people celebrate her beauty during the mooncake festival, when the moon is at its brightest and roundest - on the 15th of eight lunar month.

Once upon a time in China, ten suns appeared in the sky and this was causing much grief to the people. Crops were withering, rivers were drying up and people were dying from the heat. This catastrophe forced the emperor to summon Hou Yi, a mythological archer to shoot down the suns in return for an immortal elixir. He wanted to shoot down all the suns but his wife, Chang Er begged him to leave one up in the sky for warmth and light. As Hou Yi was about to go against his wife's wishes, his wife grabbed the immortal elixir and drank it as a form of protest immediately after, Chang Er began floating higher and higher until she reached the moon and stayed there.

Moonlit Uprising

In the 14th century, the Han Chinese overthrew the Mongols in a carefully planned uprising. The success of this uprising lies in these little mooncakes. Small pastries with a secret message outlining the plan was hidden inside the pastries and distributed. Lantern wielding rebels distributed the pastries at night in a well disguised wedding celebration. As outlined in the secret message, the Han Chinese executed a surprise attack on the Mongols.

The full moon on the Mid Autumn Festival shone brightly on the pathways to guide the rebels through the maze of the palace. Since then, mooncakes and lanterns are used each year to honor the new dynasty and the auspiscious moon.

Hee..I love mooncakes. A lot. But dang, they're pretty expensive now. But oh! they come in such a variety of flavours these days and shapes too! I remember Nicole gave me a jelly mooncake last year made by Dave's mum. Loved it to bits =) I do like the old flavours too though. Very evergreen. LOL

A Half-Filled Glass

Sorry I took a 2 week hiatus from all this. I figured I probably really needed it. It just came to a point where quitting seemed like a probable solution, giving up seemed like a really familiar word in my dictionary and I just totally lost it. Or at least I thought I had lost it. Everything spiralled out of control, and I just don't feel like I can handle it any much longer. Sigh. And blogging didn't exactly appeal to me as my therapeutic solution to it. LOL

Classes started a week ago. We're already in our second week currently. Tell me about being in Sem 5. Busy, busy, busy. EVERYDAY. It's like this never-ending cycle! It isn't exactly fun being a senior here in phase 1. What the hell. Plus, it was just after an absolutely wonderful break back at home where all I did was watch tv, hangout, eat and spend time with my mum and dad. Everything came crashing down at the end of it and as weak as I am (I'd rather not like to think of myself so, but I suppose it is a fact), I just failed to comprehend the madness of this life again. I was so depressed the whole week through. Things didn't exactly work out the way I wanted them to. Pressures mounting, escalating. I need to try to start studying already. The whole stack of it right on my shoulders. Effin' IMS (wtf), pbls etc etc. I totally broke down and wondered why the hell did I even choose medicine in the first place.

Talked to Sooi bout it. And she said so much that I picked myself up little by little, and now, I feel so much better. Thanks sooi. I guess I'm not the only one.

Cho came down on Wednesday with Sieu Ming. Absolutely great catching up with them. Only once a year mah, what do you expect. LOL

And here, I need to congratulate the guy that forgot my birthday *roll eyes* Kar How, for finally graduating soon, and for making it into PWC (the big 4 or 8 or whatever. I know it's 4, Kar). I don't know why I'm much more excited about all this than you are. Seriously. A bit ungrateful lah you. Tsk.

Anyways, I am definitely holding on. I don't suppose quitting and giving up is an option now that it's halved. I just need to keep this positive, optimistic mind in mind. However, I really do think that I have a bipolar disorder. Seriously.
