{Dustland} Fairytales ♫

I am still up at 4 am. I cannot sleep. This has been my problem lately. I cannot fall asleep like normal. Am seriously frustrated. Its no joke when you can't sleep, it screws everything up and I get blistering headaches from it.

Random info - David Fincher directed Who Is It. No wonder I liked the video.

Cousin came over and at 3 we went to Delicious and had their Afternoon Tea for 2. The duck confit sandwich was delicious. Really delicious. By the time we reached the Berrilicious Chocolate Pavlova we were full.

I went on a day trip to Singapore on Saturday. Boy, I'm doggone tired. I met up with Melon and collected my stuff. She gave me chocolates lol. I should take pictures but I am lazy bwahaha.

Anyways not feeling too good. Very tired and dehydrated due to the trip.

Yesterday my parents and I went to KLCC. My mum wanted to go to the KL Convention Centre for some made in Malaysia roadshow - something like that. We bought a lot of munchies - yum. We should support made in Malaysia products anyways.

Then I had my Crispy Chicken Rice at KLCC's topmost food court. I love it. Their birds eye chili sauce is the best. Yummy! I love anything spicy and it really does not help when you have a sore throat.

I got woken up by my mother, screaming at me that Michael Jackson passed away. I was shocked but groggily asked her if it was suicide. I don't know why I automatically asked that! I immediately got up and went straight to my computer and went to 'Celebitchy' to check up on the news.

So its true, Michael Jackson is no longer with us. This is shocking. It took me a while to digest it all in and as I sat watching BBC and CNN, tears started to well up and I had to move away from the tv before my parents see me crying. I personally never believed the pedophile charge made against him - I do believe in people taking advantage of him as Donna Summer said, he was a sitting duck.

He may be weird/eccentric but that is just who he is. Whatever it is, you can't take his achievements from him. I grew up with Michael Jackson and I loved his music video as a toddler. My mum used to record his music videos (among others) for me to watch while she cooked and cleaned. It was the only way she could get a precocious 3/4 year old to sit still. So yeah during my childhood I grew up to the likes of Michael Jackson, Prince, Boy George, Bonnie Tyler and etc and this is why I have this crazy love for the 80's.

As I grew older I kinda mellowed out. I liked his songs but never too crazy till my cousin showed me Moonwalker. She was raving about Smooth Criminal and true enough Smooth Criminal blew me away. The dance moves were electrifying. We were gobsmacked and intoxicated by the dance moves in the video. I bought all his cds and would constantly listen to them. I watched his music videos over and over again - Who is it being my general favourite.

In 1996, I missed out on his concert when he came down to Malaysia because my dad was being an overprotective dad and thought that concerts were dangerous. *sigh*. In addition to the paranoid dad, I had the stupid nationwide PMR exams to study for which hampered my chances of going to the concert. *sigh*

Anyways although I am no longer a crazy obsessed fan of old. I still do love his music. That will never change and I am fortunate that I grew up listening/watching him. He will always be remembered.

May you rest in peace Michael Jackson.

I told myself that I wasn't going to buy any more of these expensive magazines but when I saw Look at Star at Kino. I my stone cold heart melted away and I had to get it even at RM65 bucks. I wanted to use my neko card for 28% discount but since I wanted to get the Vitamin Z book, I had to forgo using the neko card.

This mag should be the last. Anyways if anyone wants to download the pics in HQ go - here.

I decided to do a new gallery because I want to do some changing and to change everything at the original gallery would require too much work. All the pictures are available for viewing and download (i think I set the command as such - if you cant view something or download just let me know).

I don't know how I manage to last this long with 3 hours of sleep. I should have been dead to the world since 6 pm but I was really busy with editing my livejournal layout (I'm cross-posting from my blog - the wonders of b2evo).

My parents woke me up at 10.30 am, hollering at me to get my ass up because they wanted to go to MidV for brunch. I was sooo tired but decided to go along with them and what a good decision that turned out to be. Krispie Kreme (sp) finally opened for business.

Picture evidence:

Lastly, I want to prove to Melon that her presents have been lounging on my bed. I got some nice stuffed toys from friends over the years. The cows are from Melon. lol.

and NO! I am not too old for stuffed toys thank you very much.

This is a spiffy meme from hydeism. This is not my current desktop but it was the desktop wallpaper I used when I first saw this meme.

oops I forgot the rules:

1. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper on their Livejournal.
2. Explain in five sentences on why you're using that wallpaper!
3. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

My scottish fold kitty. I can't explain in five sentences. I just use this because I love my cat and she's the cutest thing on earth.

My current desktop is this:

Isn't he (the one with the hair is Mathias Lauridsen) the cutest?!! I reiterate he's my favourite male model ever! I could watch him walk the catwalk forever even with ugly clothes. lol.

I really do dislike these networking sites like facebook, myspace, friendsters and other equally shit crap that crops up. I particularly dislike making random acquaintances with people I don't know and don't want to know. Its all superficial and shallow and there is more to life than social networking.

I am starting to dislike twitter as well. Waste of valuable time. I prefer owning a blog. In someways its more personal and I like it that way.

Its official, I am crazy about Sam Merlotte! I really like Sam Merlotte and I think Sookie is a fool. I know they are following the book but omg Sam is sooo, I am lost for words, no words can do Sam Merlotte any justice. Ah heck, he is an average joe but with a special ability but he comes off as sweet and kind maybe boring to some but sweet and kind do triumph over dark and brooding, no?

I am really happy that they didn't kill of Lafayette. He is my second favourite character next to Sam. I have grown to dislike Vampire Bill and Sookie's relationship. Eye rolling and gag inducing dialogue. Her portrayal of Sookie is so damn unlikable and whereas I quite liked Sookie's character in the book - crazy for Bill in an irrational way aside she is quite funny and spunky - but this Sookie comes of as, fat hau. I don't quite know what would be the perfect translation for 'fat hau' without sounding ridiculous. In Malay, I would term her as, mengada-ngada, gedik and betina sundal yg tak pakai otak and again there is no adequate English translation for this either - how do one translate gedik or mengada ngada? *fails*

I guess I just need to look forward at seeing more of Sam Merlotte XD. What a 360 turn. I was a Bill fan and now I have morphed into a Sam's fan. Oh dear! I am indeed fickle.

These days its a struggle for me to find things to jot down about. Nothing is remotely exciting. Day in and day out, I do the mundane stuff, nothing different or out of the norm.

I waste valuable time watching movies. Watching movies allows me to escape from my dreary life. A form of mindless escapism and in any case its a healthy one, which is a plus point.

I have been watching, The Thin Man series. Its actually a whodunit murder mystery starring Myrna Loy and William Powell based on Dashiell Hammett's novel. (I like the name Dashiell sounds better than Mowgli or Pilot). The movie was fun to watch and the actors were lovely. The witty banter between Nick and Nora cracked me up. I personally like Myrna Loy, she is just smashing to watch. My favourite Thin Man movie would be After the Thin Man with James Stewart starring in it.

One of my favourite classic movies of all times apart from Jezebel is Rear Window (so its kind of my favourite James Stewart movie of all times). I watched the movie for the first time with my grandmum as a teen and enjoyed it very much. She of coursed raved about Grace Kelly and I shared her exact sentiments.

Next I watched And Then There Were None. A 1945 film based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name. The ending of the movie differed very much from the novel which is a pity. Oh well, one must keep in mind of what viewers would like. The majority wouldn't have liked the ending in the novel.

Then I wasted more hours on The Verdict, Young Queen Victoria, Hospital and The Sting. Out of the four movies, The Sting starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford really blew my mind away. Mind you, its a 1972 movie and I wasn't expecting much out of it. Honestly speaking I am not a fan of either actors and I didn't think I would enjoy the movie. I somehow have this prejudice against Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (unfathomable even to myself).

When I first read the mini review of the movie on the oscarsite.com, my first impression was, it sounded very much like Oceans 13 due to its similar plot structure. Since I liked Oceans 13, this movie shouldn't be too bad but gosh how wrong I was, it was far better than what I expected. I cannot find anything wrong with this movie even the romance scenes were necessary and enjoyable. Young Robert Redford is indeed good looking *chuckles*.
