Zestful One

Of books, coffee & makeup

Posted by IcedNyior on November 30, 2004  |  No Comments

After feeling pretty messed up for the past few days – coupled with lack of sleep – that i decided to go to Midvalley alone. However, when i got to the LRT station, my parents were there to pick me up. Then my sisters wanted to follow too *groan*

So i told em to split up, coz i knew they wanted to go window shop. And i headed off to MPH to get “Angels & Demons” by Dan Brown (yeap, the same guy who wrote The Da Vinci Code) then sat in Coffee Bean, drinking Ultimate Ice blended & eating chocolate swirl cheesecake while reading my new book. Sat there for almost 2 hrs, den met up wif my sis again before going for dinner at Nandos (yes, again!! :P)

Oh yeah, somehow, i still managed to spend RM130 yesterday.
Nail polish = 13.90 – the only one i have…
Book = 34.90
Toiletries = 13.00
Xmas cards = 8.00
Coffee Bean = 18.00
Makeup = 41.00 – BodyShop concealer & sharpener
GRAND TOTAL = 128.80

Well, i only go out like once a month, so i guess that’s understandable. LOL! The last time i went to midvalley was last month….or the month before that I think. And i juz bought a RM20 watch.

I guess there goes half of Dec’s allowance. I get RM250 a month…..and i buy my own lunch & breakfast in sch….and im saving up money to buy a plane ticket to Bintulu & Miri to see friends.

I had a presentation this morning…which caused me to have lack of sleep for hte last 2 days…but it was all WORTH IT. My lecturer said it was good and very clear, so much so that she asked the rest to be as good or better. Banggala! Coz i practically did all the slides & presented the whole thing (as usual, some of my groupmates are pretty useless)

Im going to register for the Planetshakers conference tomolo. Weird that someone like me is goin for a Christian conference….

Jeremy’s coming. Soo happy!! I really need to talk to him…miss him so much…

Im feeling kinda messed up at the moment. Havin personal problems….lotsa worries..and some assignments due. Not enough sleep. Cant concentrate. Got headache.

The song below sums out my situation now, word for word

Ghetto Heaven @ Zouk KL

Posted by IcedNyior on November 28, 2004  |  1 Comment

Thursdays nights are Ghetto Heaven nights at Zouk KL. And also ladies night. Meaning to say there are no entrance fee for ladies and they play R&B songs all night.

On Thurs, i slept over at a few friends’ place coz we planned to go to Zouk. Went there in the afternoon and lepak lepak around. Den around 9 sumthing we got ready (supposed to leave at 10.30pm). Sempat curl my hair. LOL! :P Took a taxi thr and reached just before midnite eventually (we left late) and went it.

My first impression is that it’s smoky. I mean I kno clubs are full of smoke but this was kinda overdosed. I walked in and i was hit by a cloud of smoke & my eyes started watering…but after a while i adjusted and all was fine. Then i realized that it was SO packed {but i’ve been in worst clubs – kenot even walk around at that point} and no space to sit around.

Music was good, lotsa ppl…but not enough guys…ehhe…so tak sempat bercuci mata dat nite :( Hehe! Nvm la…..

Oh yeah….alcohol in KL is expensive!! Drank 1 cup of chivas (wif juz ice)…..RM21.50!!…..in Miri only RM13-16 {if im not mistaken – correct or not Littak?}. Hmm…..cant afford to drink here i guess, unless some ppl buys me drinks. LOL!

Oh yeah 2 guys bought a fren & I Johnnie walker+coke (they open 2 bottles owedi). She didnt drink, so i took both den we thanked them and went off. They’re too old la….d*mn! prolly juz slightly younger than my father. So we cabut away from em fast fast. LOL!!

So we berabis dance till like 3 am…wuah so tiring. {Lola: bena cakap ko, lepas lama dah cuti, sik larat gik mok tahan lama-lama} …..yeahla wat to do kan? Den while we were hanging outside waitin for a taxi, we met some guys from Sunway and talk talk abit lorr….

One of our frens was so talkative in the taxi, commenting that the taxi driver is very young la, ask his age (he’s 29) den she gave him a mini motivational talk, saying he got so much potential and why is he driving taxis when he has a whole bright future…blah blah….poor taxi driver. LOL!

Got back at around 4 am, only slept around 6-7 am. Woke up at 10 am coz i was supposed to go back at noon. So tired!!

Ok, i got pics, but my frens dont want their faces to be seen in public…so all also covered with Question Marks ehehhe

Me & a friend before makeup/hairdo :P {My green eyes obvious kan? kan?}

In the taxi on the way {yeahla, i dont have my own transport yet}

Outside Zouk with another friend.

Current mood: Exhausted but had great fun

.: Review : The Forgotten :.

Posted by IcedNyior on November 24, 2004  |  No Comments

I downloaded the movie The Forgotten from Suprnova using bittorrent. Took me about 2 days coz i couldnt leave my pc on 24/7. Anyway, it’s coming out today in Malaysian cinemas but I watched it a week ago. Ahh..the wonders of the internet. LOL!! So here’s a short review.

Online Review
In this sci-fi thriller, Julianne Moore plays Telly Paretta, a distraught woman who could not believe that her nine year old son, Sam had died in a plane crash 14 months ago. Telly Paretta could not accept the explanation given by her husband Jim (Anthony Edwards) and her psychiatrist, Dr. Munce (Gary Sinise) that her son did not exist. Their plain, simple answer was that she suffered a miscarriage and she had been delusional since then and had been fabricating memories of her imaginary son. They explained that she was suffering from amenesia brought on by post-traumatic stress.

Unsatisfied with the explanation, Telly Paretta began looking for evidence of Sam’s existence. She searched for photos, videos and scrapbooks. However much to her astonishment, everything had vanished. She was going mad and hysterical until she met Ash Correll (Dominic West), a retired hockey player who lost his daughter, Lauren in the same plane crash.

However, Ash did not remember his daughter and she had to make him remember. To add to their confusion, some people are after them even though they have no idea why.

So are they 2 mad lunatics or did they really have a son and a daughter?

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
My Review
I found this movie interesting with its twists and turns. Julienne Moore portrays the emotion & love between mother & child very well. A little bit boring at times. Suspenceful (sp?) at certain parts but I really found the ending lame. And, to me, a lame ending pulls the whole rating of the show down.

My verdict: Pretty ok movie…mayb give it a 5.5 out of 10. Should be interesting for sci-fi buffs tho :P

Where Does Your Beauty Lie?

Posted by IcedNyior on November 22, 2004  |  1 Comment

Your Beauty lies in Contradiction. Controversial, unpredictable, and
never what anyone expects. You appearance and your personality are two
opposite things. Even your appearance sends different signals to different
people. To some you may look innocent and sweet, to others you look mysterious
and intimidating at the same time. No one ever knows what to expect with you.
You are a little bit of everything all mixed together. You can be watching
the football game with the guys one minute and the next out shopping at the
mall. You seem to be almost a different person every time you meet someone, but
at the same time you know exactly who you are and there is always that one
thing that makes you you. You enjoy keeping people guessing and people love how
completely unpredictable you are.

Some Things That Represent You:
Element: Fire, Water
Animal: Chameleon
Color: Dark Tones, Light Tones
Song: Everything by Alanis Morriesette
Expression: Half-smile
Gemstone: Opal
Mythological Creature: Gryphon, Half-breeds
Sign: Gemini
Planet: Mars
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Brown
Quote: “Appearances can be deceiving.”

Suteki da ne (Isn’t It Beautiful?)………but life ISNT

Posted by IcedNyior on November 21, 2004  |  No Comments

I changed the song in my blog to a Midi of “Suteki Da Ne” meaning Isn’t It Beautiful? in Japanese from the game Final Fantasy X (yeap i used to play FF, FF8 only tho). The music is melancholic & sad – suits my feeling.

Reading the lyrics, we realize the whole thing is nothing but a DREAM….much like my empty dreams of happiness…..

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
Suteki Da Ne
kaze ga yoseta kotoba ni
oyoida kokoro
kumo ga hakobu ashita ni
hazunda koe
The wind, like a heart that swam in the accumulated words
The clouds, a voice that was shot into the holding future

tsuki ga yureru kagami ni
furueta kokoro
hoshi ga nagare koboreta
yawarakai namida
The moon, a shaking heart in an unsteady mirror
The stars, gentle tears in an overflowing stream

suteki da ne
futari te wo tori aruketa nara
ikitai yo
KIMI no machi ie ude no naka
Isn’t it beautiful, to walk together in each others hands
I do so want to go,
To your city, your house, into your arms.

sono mune
karada azuke
yoi ni magire
yumemiru
That heart,
held within your body
In those confusing nights
I dream

kaze wa tomari kotoba wa
yasashii maboroshi
kumo wa yabure ashita wa
tooku no koe
The wind, its halting words are a gentle illusion
The clouds, the broken future like a distant voice

tsuki ga nijimu kagami wo
nagareta kokoro
hoshi ga yurete koboreta
kakusenai namida
The moon, a heart flowing in the clouded mirror
The stars, broken and swaying, like tears unable to be hidden.

suteki da ne
futari te wo tori aruketa nara
ikitai yo
KIMI no machi ie ude no naka
Isn’t it beautiful, to walk together in each others hands
I do so want to go,
To your city, your house, into your arms.

sono kao
sotto furete
asa ni tokeru
yumemiru
That face,
A soft touch,
Dissolving into morning,
I dream.

風が　寄せた　言葉に
泳いだ　心
雲が　運ぶ　明日に
弾んだ　声

月が　揺れる　鏡に
震えた　心
星が　流れ　こぼれた
柔らかい　涙

素敵だね
二人手をとり　歩けたなら
行きたいよ
キミの街　家　腕の中

その胸
からだあずけ
宵にまぎれ
夢見る

風は　止まり　言葉は
優しい　幻
雲は　破れ　明日は
遠くの　声

月が　にじむ　鏡を
流れた　心
星が　揺れて　こぼれた
隠せない　涙

素敵だね
二人手をとり　歩けたなら
行きたいよ
キミの街　家　腕の中

その顔
そった触れて
朝に溶ける
夢見る

If your asking, yes, I’m depressed. Hard for me to explain why…this blog is getting too public. But i might reveal it soon…that is, if i feel like it…

*cries to self*

I F**KING HATE MOVING……it su*ks….i hate starting over, i hate making friends all over again…..i hate having to adapt to new ppl, new lifestyles and new attitude

Most of all, i hate it when a guy plays with my feelings….and this is not hte freaking first time

I still put on a mask of happiness tho…

Holding on the the pieces of my shattered dreams of happiness

Posted by IcedNyior on November 20, 2004  |  No Comments

I hate (incomplete list):

• couples who drift of in their world and leave the real world – and all their friends – behind
• guys who expect me to the middle person
• ppl who think there is something wrong with me coz im single
• guys who are too freakin sensitive and cant take anything i say as a joke {that goes for u a**hole, i’ve blocked u in my MSN & ICQ coz I dont have the mood to layan your stupid karenah}
• guys who claim they like me but dont bother to email me or send me messages {i’ve decided to stop contacting u till u contact me first}
• love songs which paint an impossible view of love

I really dunno wat to say….
im currently feeling very down, but i wouldnt say Im depressed yet
I dont really feel like facing the world….sleep the whole day….dont really feel like eating also…
tomorrow…Sunday, have to go to church, put a happy mask on….no mood actually….
I’m going to KLCC tho tomolo…coz my sis wants to go see Simple Plan.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*

Current mood: Lonely
Now Listening to: “close to you” , Utada Hikaru’s version – why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near, juz like me, they want to be close to you.

Simple Plan in Kuala Lumpur

Posted by IcedNyior on November 19, 2004  |  2 Comments

Yes, the boys who brought us that infamous song and others such as “welcome to my Life” & “Addicted”, has finally reached our Malaysian shores. Performing in an exclusive gig (invites only) in Zouk KL, on the 27th (i think) sponsored by Motorola for the launching of their new hp model. (I think)

Well, im actually not a really big fan of Simple Plan, but their songs are nice. But ask me to name them one by one and I go blur. In fact, looking at the pic above, im not sure which is actually d lead singer (im assuming the one in front. LOL)

Anyways, Im part of their Malaysian street team tho – Simple Plan Underground – haha….well, juz joined for fun. A street team is like a group of fans who help promote their music. I’ve heard that ones in the US or UK get exclusive stuff like posters and CDs and stuff so Im hoping :P

SP is having a Meet The Fans session at Tower Records, KLCC this Sunday, 21st November 2004 at 3pm and get to meet them first, exclusively for SPU members. And I even have their full flight details.

Im not that big a fan to go all the way to KLIA. So…should i go see them at KLCC? Hmm…..

…just wondering…

Who is my visitor from Johor? I frequently get visits from someone using a Johor IP. Do leave a message in my shoutbox ok? Would love to kno who’s visiting :)

…do you think im messy?…

So what do you think? Am I messy? (Taken in my hostel room early 2004, i share a room with Rach)

Hehe…okla…i kno im messy…..

…I WANT THIS!!!…

I have a mad craving for this. Made in Australia Cadbury chocolate. The BEST chocolate i’ve tasted. I bought it last time when i went to Brisbane in 2002.

Is it available here in KL? Anyone kno where to get it?? :(
