Short Update

Bonjour.

Today is the 10th of May - HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woots! To every mother in this world, may you be a good mother or a bad one (I'm sure there are no such things as bad mothers in this world) Happy Mother's Day. You deserve this day because without you, we don't exist. So thank you!

Anyway, today, SMK Alor Akar had its annual Hari Anugerah - prize giving day? As the conductor for the school's choir team (no, i do not think choir is lame/ bad/ stupid. If you think it is, then go far away), the choir team is requested - or rather, demanded - to perform on this day.

To tell you the truth, i was damn lazy to perform at first. To perform, we need to practise and skip classes (not that i mind this part) and make some more parts for the national song and state song. Lol. I don't really mind either or that, but the most unbearable part was to dress up and tie-up for the day. Ugh, ridiculous. Preposterous!

But to get together with the whole choir team again, now that was very cool...

I miss choir.

So, after the performance and everything, i went to SMART school for their 'niaga' thing - after a long and silent treatment from me to my mother, lol. Hehe. But at last she gave in, didn't she? That was what counts. But of course, it came with a price, but it was a price that i am willing to pay and like to pay. The place was effin hot (in the middle of the field during noon), and i came home looking like charcoal (of course I'm exaggerating, do you even need to ask?).

But i had fun, met loads of people there. Almost performed there with the rest (Marcus, Carl, Paul and Jason) but i needed to go back early 'cause i had to go to Yamaha for practise. I WANTED TO PERFORM THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alas, it was not meant to be. Haiz.

Oh, oh, Nazim came back. How i wish the twins are back too, then we can go lepak together... JAYCEE AND JASMINE COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, i'm watching Mulan right now. Lol. Old cartoon, but fantastic music. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Disney channel rules - sometimes.

And so this is what i did today. I am dead tired, i want to sleep and i shall sleep - perhaps at one o'clock in the morning eh? Lol. So dear readers, ciao!

Classical music

Heyya.

Recently, i've been watching a Japanese drama/movie - introduced by my piano teacher, Miss Florence, and many of her other students. I'm so glad i watched it. It is an awesome series called 'Nodame Cantabile'. Of course, for those of you who learn music, you would know what Cantabile means.

As you can see from the title, this series is all about classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, Bhrams, George Gershwin, Chopin, Liszt, Schubert... you know, all those), ochestras and it all happened with a bunch of talented students in a music college in Japan. It is awesome. Hilarious, yet meaningful at the same time. The movie/drama was originated an anime and manga, but later on became this real life Japanese music drama - if that's what it's called.

Anyway, besides being here promoting 'Nodame Cantabile', i'm here to give you guys a glimpse/ ear-full of classical music with full MTV by Waltz Disney Fantasia 2000 as well. Below are the videos i adore so much since i was 8.

Dance of Hours


The Pines of Rome


Rhapsody in Blue (Because i couldn't emb it, i decided to put the link here)

Firebird Suite


Fantasia Flamingo
Now all these are great music, music which i had grew up with and is very fond of composed by brilliant composers. I respect these particular music and i hope anyone who saw these videos can find the perfect angle of it.
I shall sign off here. Goodnight/ goodmorning/ good afternoon.
PS, I am officially in love with Hugh Jackman. He is a talented guy and he can SING!!

Express

I do not know whether i should be cursing or congratulating, hating or loving those who went for Leehom's concert. Bloody lucky, if you ask me.

On second thoughts, do not ask me anything. I'll be pissing my head off of you.

Anyway, I'm just here to express what I'm feeling these last few days - if express is what I'm even doing right now. By the time I'm finished, this blog would be bursting into flames and acid drops that burns your way where it touched.

Oh, before i go any further, I LOVE WOLVERINE ORIGINS!!!! IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I'VE WATCHED AND I SHALL PERSONALLY STRANGLE ANY OF YOU WHO SAID IT IS A BAD MOVIE.

Oh, i just love Gambit...


Everyone looks so cool here.

Perhaps I'm in love with Hugh Jackman.



I LOVE GAMBIT/ Taylor!! He's so cool, lol.
One of the best movies I've ever watched, so far. For more information, watch the movie yourself!!
So, back to my main purpose of this post. Have you ever had anyone whom you respect and love a lot (as a friend and brother) that just because of something you didn't even say or do, accuse you and throw damn bloody harsh words at your face? Well, trust me, that feeling bloody hurts and it isn't, well, pleasant. Not at all, no.
Anyway, see, we had this situation which is not-so-complicated and not-so-hurtful (one that i am not going to reveal to you), once you look at the whole big picture, and someoneS just made this whole thing a huge bitch. I dunno why, nor would i want to know (i actually already know, but it's just better if i don't dwell on the memory at all) but that is just a stupidly huge misunderstanding.
But one that i am not willing to forgive and forget, nor kiss and make up and pretend everything didn't happen and live happily ever after.
Yes, i hold long grudges, and yes, i am very hot-headed and easily pissed off - if you pissed me off. But this is one bloody hell of a stupid thing to do and say and something i cannot understand. I won't understand. This whole shit of a situation just made me see that some certain people in this world, no matter how close you were or how best friend-ish you were, can just change in a blink of an eye, turn his back to you in a blink of a bloody eye and stab you in the back with those bloody knives of his and put salt in your wounds after that just because of something he didn't make certain of nor confront you of in the first bloody place.
I would just not talk to the person forever. I think I'd like that. And i wouldn't give a damn if you said that I'm an idiot that hold stupidly long grudges just because of a stupid misunderstanding. As far as I'm concerned, i live my own life and i do not need you to teach me morals. Not everyone is a goody-two-shoe, and i don't plan on becoming one either.
Sorry, that came out wrong. My intentions weren't harsh.
Okayy. Now that i've expressED everything i wanna say, sorry for all the cussing and cursing and foul language. But this is an exception, i think, and as long as i ain't pissed off (or too excited), i won't curse or cuss. Thank you for bearing and reading on after the first curse word. Lol.
