New Things and Experiences

Two things I have to tell you all here:

1. For the first time in 6 years, I have finally changed my phone! it's a nokia 2630 (not the most state-of-the-art i know, but the drastic change from my old phone is good enough *cough* 3315 *cough* ^_^)

For those who has similar phones that i have now, or even better than mine, you will know that most phones nowadays are featuring a lot of things other than a mere tool of communication. Camera is becoming a staple tool for phones nowadays, along with a radio, recorder, a jukebox... well if any technology can be placed in a itsy bitsy phone someone out there will do it.

Actually I don't mind not having all the fancy applications in my phone. All i need for a mobile phone that can be called out to people, send and receive SMSes. However, I don't mind owning a much more sophisticated phone :D.

2. My Mom wants to put the rarely used oven to use. So she told us to bake a cake! Cake baking is kinda fun, and messy at the same time. To top it off, it's pretty simple, more simple than I thought. Just dump all the ingredients in phrases, place it in the oven and viola, a cake! However, the cake is pretty okay... thought I can do better. Oh well, there's always next time to experiment different flavors of cakes and other pastries. Someday we might not need to buy ourselves cookies during the festive seasons.

Just when you think life is boring, out comes something unexpected to overthrow your mundane life and make it interesting.

Panic at the Disco - Nine in the Afternoon

I used to post lyrics of some of my favorite songs in my blog. Now things are different now, since I can embed YouTube of their MTV as well. Talk about advancement in technology.

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah we're feeling so good

Pickin’ up things we shouldn’t read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It’s just the end of the world

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can

Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good

Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?

Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began, hey
Back to the room where it all began
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Youtube Awards 2007

Look what the pop culture has evolved. Especially in the web, where you can be an overnight superstar in this culture. Here is one of the videos made it into the awards.



Pretty cool, huh? ^_^

Turned 21 on the 21st

Woohoo! An adult! =P Heck I still act like a child sometimes...

I had a fun time for the whole day, well some family outing sort of. The last time we had that kind of outing was quite a long time ago... (okay, it was 2 weeks).

We went to the hot springs in Hulu Tamu, which is somewhere near Genting Highlands. Water there was really HOT (well duh!), I have yet to soak my feet to the water for a long period of time unlike my dad.

Let's see, it's my first time to the Batu Caves (yea, surprising). We climbed 272 steps to the top of the cave and it is not easy feat. Wonder why we went there the first place.

My mom told me that she went there before years ago, and things are not the same as it used to. There are a lot of stalls, shops, kiosks selling snacks, souvenirs and loads of stuff there to cater the tourists there now, compared to just a flight of stairs leading to the cave and some temples. There are also monkeys who are joining in the visiting crowd too. =)

To cap it off, there is a simple but nice birthday cake, streams of facebook scrawlings on my wall and receiving SMSes from my friends.

Madonna - Ray of Light

Still sounds good after all these years!

Elections

Our General Elections are finally over and there is a rave discussion over the results so far....

Five State Assemblies have been taken over by the Opposition, something unprecedented in the past 50 years, namely Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and the usual Kelantan.

Shocking, isn't it?

Maybe it is high time BN has to change their policies that cater to the general public.

Personality Tests

Tried one of the weird-sounding personality tests? No? Then you should take one.

Why? It kinda tells a little bit about you. Say for instance "Are you a workaholic?" determines whether you a tense working freak, or a total slacker.

Plus, it's fun too! =)

Sometimes the results turned out to be downright funny, because it turned out NOT even close to what you are. It's a pretty good laugh sometimes.

If you are interested to take these personality tests, try this website: Tickle.com. There is a whole archive of tests for you to enjoy, from the serious personality analysis to the zany, fun ones.

Note in these kinds of tests there are no correct answers, just honest ones. =)

Reality TV

Or a new versions of game shows. if you want call it. The key differences are: it is set anywhere but a studio, interviews or confessionals by the contestants, painful eliminations and bigger rewards on the line.

I admit, I am a BIG fan of reality TV series. Since the debut of the first reality show (Survivor) back in 2000. (Wow, 8 years already?) I've been watching various types of it. Name one and I can tell you I have watched at least 1 episode of it.

Survivor Beauty and the Geek The Amazing Race Hell's Kitchen The Apprentice Fear Factor American Idol So You Think You Can Dance? America's Next Top Model

Even though the quality of the shows slipped over the years, I still watch it irregardless. Of course some reality TV is just plain retarded. Like I heard of the shows actually designed to meant to find a appropriate donor for organ transplant! My god, why do people take other people's misery as a form of entertainment! >:(

Now that most shows are back for their new seasons, it's time to watch a new cast of people participating the good old shows, root for your favorites and hang on tight during eliminations.
