Videos for every mood

Interesting quote:
'Mosquitoes only come out from 6pm till 7am. So before and after that, don't need to worry bout mosquitoes' - My grandma
Despite lots of evidence from me, she still refuses to believe otherwise. But then, it could just be me, having super sweet blood or something, for I always attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes suck big time. Hey..a pun! -_-|||

Been having some weird moodswings lately, and no it's not that time of the month. For example, on Sunday night, i was feeling pretty happy with life and the next afternoon, I was so depressed for no reason at all! Hmm...could it have been Monday blues? Still feeling the after effects though. Anyway, just wanted to post up some videos that I like and they're so different from one another, just like my moods. One for every mood i guess.

Happy mood - David Tao & Jolin Tsai's "Marry Me Today (Qing Tian Ni Yao Jia Gei Wo)"

Ever since I first heard this song, just really enjoyed it. I was surprised to hear that David asked Jolin to sing with him, but hey, it somehow worked out well. So I listen to it everyday and it just puts a smile on my face. I guess it makes me feel all bubbly and cheerful, just like the song. The MTV's really cute too, especially with all those people having to hold all sorts of awkward poses. But another happy song is also David Tao's "Unforgettable (Wang Bu Liao)"

Sentimental/Sad song - Harlem Yu's "Silently (Jing Jing De)"

This is the main theme to Vic Zhou (Zai Zai of F4)'s new series, together with this Korean girl who I think is pretty famous, but I have no idea who. It really fits the storyline of the series but it's also rather sad. Like the simple melody, reminds me of a music box.

There's also Wang Lee Hom's "Finally" which is an amazing 9 minutes long MTV. I've never heard the song b4 this, but the MTV's pretty good. Rather like a short movie on its own.

Upbeat/party song - Jolin Tsai's "Mr Q"

Though I am not really a party girl type, but sometimes there are songs that make me just wanna break out in some silly dance moves or just bop along. Lol...imagine that huh? This is one song, though I'm including it mainly coz there's eye-candy for both guys and gals. Guys will of coz drool over Jolin who looks better than ever, and the ever cute Edison Chen. Sigh..why are these bad boys so darn good-looking. Oh but he has such a disarming smile! Other party songs of the moment include Christina Aguilera's "Ain't no other man", Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous Girl" and others. I bet guys love Pussycat Doll's "Buttons" tho.. ;)

Headaches 101

Developed a headache earlier this afternoon after labeling dozens of books to be donated to a primary school on Friday this week. It kinda subsided before i headed off to school for a night class, which in the end didn't happen, coz the lecturer didn't turn up :P. But after being a couch potato for 2 hours and watching Travel & Living/Star Movies/AXN...it came back. So I thought, y don't I go find out what causes headaches?

You see, during last sem's exams, after studying for awhile, I'd start to feel dizzy and I thought, it might be due to the stress. But after 2 weeks of holidays, I woke up after an afternoon nap and found the room spinning everytime i moved my head. *shudders* It got so bad that I had to stop moving every few seconds. I eventually threw up 4 times that nite, which is basically after every few bites of dinner or few gulps of liquid. Worried, I went to the doctor who explained that I used to have problems with my ear (that 3 loop thingy in ur ear that handles your body's balance?) when I was young. I was like "HUH??!! I did?" But he explained that coz I was coming down with flu, the tube from my throat to ear was starting to get blocked, and thus the imbalance. And geez, I was going to Singapore the next day! Good thing that modern medicine is sooo effective. I was much better the next morning, but still had to keep taking the 'giddy' medicine for the next 2 days. Anyway, on to the Headache 'course'.

Headaches: condition of pain in the head, sometimes neck or upper back pain is also considered *sweatdrops*
Causes: Eyestrain, sinus, tension or life-threatening conditions like brain tumour etc. Don't forget caffeine withdrawal and dehydration. Of course, head injuries
- Most common type:
Vascular headaches, esp in women :P, severe pain on 1 or both sides of head, upset stomach

- Other interesting types of headaches:

1. Ice-cream headache (brain freeze): Studies have shown that the faster you eat something cold, esp slushees, ice-cream, the more likely you are to get brain freeze. Like DUH!...Lolz.

Suggested cures include: moving ur tongue to roof of mouth (to spread more warmth), drink lukewarm water slowly, lie down with ur head on the side, eat cold stuff SLOWLY...ahahahha

2. Coital/sex headaches: Severe headaches at the base of the skull before orgasm during any sexual activity, including masturbation...ahahah! More common in men...*rolls around laughing* The causes are not confirmed, but scientists suspect that a history of high blood pressure or psychological factors play a role.
Suggested cures include: Don't have sex for awhile! (not tonite honey, I have a headache...Lolz), healthier diet and exercise
(Adapted from Wikipedia)
How interesting huh? Hehehehzz....bet you learned something new today ;) But still, doesn't really help with mine. Can still feel it 'lurking' behind my temples. Hope it won't come back anytime soon. Any ideas on how to help/cure headaches, besides the usual panadol? Coz can't always use panadol...

Few thousands words for u

Pics tell a thousand words rite? So here are a few pics:

Few weeks ago, my bro & his classmates met Kenny Sia at Rainforest Music Fest...then who knew......

It was just a week after, I was at Bing with a bunch of my girl friends and then...
Friend A: "Eh, is that Kenny Sia?"
*Since my back is to the guy, I quickly turn around and check*
Me: "Noler, he doesn't look like in his blog ler.."
Friend B & C: "Who's Kenny Sia?" *sweatdrops*

Friend A and I then proceed to explain and we still weren't sure if it was Kenny, coz the guy was wearing specs....
Friend A: "Do you want to go ask if he's Kenny Sia?"
Me: What if we're wrong? Then si beh sia xuey larrr"
Friend B: "If you guys r going to ask n ur wrong..I'm going to pretend I don't know u" *Gee..thx a lot! Lolz*
Friend C: "Do you think he's blogging now?" coz the guy was using his laptop
Friend B: "Yeah, and he'll blog how this bunch of gals were at Bing with him and giggling about him"
Friend A: "Okay, we'll just ask him when we leave. At least won't b so bad if we're wrong"

And so, when we got up to leave, we had to pass him on the way to the entrance. As the 'appointed' person to ask, i went
Me:"Errrrr...s'cuse me, but er..are u Kenny Sia?"
Guy with a sheepish grin : "Er...yeah..."
Me: "Oh, we read ur blog a lot" Kenny: "Thanks!"
*awkward & rather long pause*
Friend A: "Erm..can we take a pic with u?"
Kenny: "Sure"
So i go first and pose with him, but unfortunately, first one had my friend's finger partly covering it, so took another one which turned out fine.

Then came Friend A, since the others din read his blog and didn't want to take a pic. Just as we pressed the shutter button, she went "STOP!!" We all groaned and poor Kenny was confused. You see, she's picky about how she takes pics. So, after adjusting herself and Kenny re-smiling, voila, a perfect pic! In conclusion, Kenny seems more shy in person than what we read on the blog. Guess this is in line with what he once bout not being same in reality as his blog personality. Seemed to be a bit under the weather too. (And no, he didn't blog about us.)

Now for some random pics!

"Oooooo, nice phone sexy lady have"

*deep metallic breathing* "Most impressive. Can I access the Force with it?"

Eeeeekkss!! The Gremlins have returned!
Nolar..it's just a Pekingese with one eye. They actually look more like walking carpets to me.

Lil baby Gremlins/Pekingese

WARNING, food pics ahead! Currently have cravings for these:

Elephant's Peach and Banana Smoothie

Bla Bla Bla's food! Pictured is their soft shell crab with the addictive salad :P

The Junk/Bla^3'S lamb : This is their lamb slices with mushrooms, but I highly recommend their lamb shank....YUMM!

Movie gossip

As you might have noticed from the title, I'm back with more movie info! Lol. Well..for those who don't bother to be as kepo as me...might as well just put it all in one post rite? If you want to get the latest movie info or rumours yourself, Rotten Tomatoes is a pretty good site to go to. Or if you're into chinese movies head to Monkey Peaches.

Movie Sequels News:

1. Batman - Yup, they're starting on the sequel, as per my last movie post. Borneo Post printed a small article announcing that they've chosen the new Joker. Guess who? Heath Ledger!! My gosh..of all ppl....I think I'd still prefer Robin Williams, at least he's funny right? But they say they want a totally diff performance from the Jack Nicholson Joker. Earlier rumours claimed that Johnny Depp was in line for the Joker. That would have been incredibly cool. Johnny Depp would guarantee a great performance. Plus, apparently there's going to be MULTIPLE villains! Gee, are they taking a page out of Spiderman 3's book? The man who in the future becomes the villain Two-Face (perhaps played by Jude Law) might appear, just as in Spiderman 3. Another rumoured villain is supposed to be female...and might be played by The Mummy's Rachel Weisz.

I wish I knew how to FIRE him as the Joker!

2. Hellboy - Yes..there's going to be a Hellboy sequel..tho the 1st one didn't do that well. But guess they think that the fanboys are still going to want to go.

3. National Treasure 2 - For me, it was a pretty interesting movie. C'mon, stealing the Declaration of Independence? What a crazy idea...but it worked. The good guys didn't use guns at all in the movie...and they had some innovative ways of finding the treasure. Critics called it the 'Da Vinci Code' wannabe. However, as per my review of it earlier....the original Da Vinci Code movie was crappy...so..yea...why not a sequel to National Treasure?

4. The Mummy - Was watching the Mummy Returns last nite...and went to read up on Wikipedia about it. And guess what i found? All the actors and the director are keen to do a sequel...and rumours have it...it'll be next yr! I enjoyed the first movie more than the 2nd ..but both were pretty ok...c'mon..i like adventure movies....and they were funny..with some icky parts...and yay..more of Brendan Fraser with Rachel Weisz. They make a good couple!..ahah

Oh Brendan, save me! No, Rachel, save ME from the Mummy!

Game Movie News:

1. Halo - Yup...i think this is a long delayed movie in the making. Previous rumours had Ben Affleck in one of the major roles, which I hope isn't true, coz it'll just look like Armageddon. There's also news that Denzel Washington will play Sarge or something. And producers are trying to get Peter Jackson of LOTR to direct. I guess it'll be good with him in charge. Sorry I don't know more, but I don't play the game.

2. DOA:Dead or Alive - At least I've played this, in my 'younger' years. Lol...it's a fighting game...but rather..sexist in my opinion. And yes...the movie also follows in the footsteps of the game. 5 hot gals for all the fanboys to lust over: Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki, Holly Valance, Sarah Carter, Natassia Malthe.

Jaime Pressly: No, i don't need Botox yet

Is this statue too big to go round my neck? Holly Valance, Jaime, Devon Aoki

And the obligatory bikini photo for all u guys out there :P

I only know the first 3...but the other 2 look pretty hot too. They're going to be dressed in sexy get-ups, of coz they'll look hot. Plus..they're including the beach volleyball part of the game. So..you also get 5 babes in skimpy Bikinis...what more could a guy ask for rite??.....Talk about overdoing the sex factor. But it's directed by Corey Yuen..hmm..My prediction? A movie that tries too hard and will fail.

Asian Movie News:

1. Jet Li & Jackie Chan - There's been talks of them to star in the same movie and the latest news is that it's going to be loosely based on 'Journey to the West'. Jackie might be a drunken master (as per his recent performance at Jonathan Lee's concert) and Jet as the Tang monk, Tripitaka. It'll also apparently incorporate some time travel storyline. In a nutshell, it's claimed to be something like Karate Kid meets Drunken Master and Journey to the West plus some Time Machine...Hmm...I'd rather Jet VS Jackie!

Gasp! Jet & Jackie..wat r u doing?

2. Donnie Yen - Newspaper reports that he's been approached by the Lee family...to play Bruce Lee in the movie they're producing! Donnie says he's interested but he doesn't feel that he's fit enuff yet. Gosh, have you guys seen his muscles? Check out Dragon Tiger Gate...they're huge!...Well..i do think he would be the best person to play Bruce Lee..after all, he had the hair in Dragon Tiger Gate..ahhaah!

Advert for his hair..or deodorant?

3. Dragon Tiger Gate - Yes, there'll be a sequel!! Alrite..more of guys with flyaway long silky hair...ahhaha!!...Donnie Yen has stated that the 3 of them will be back for more high kicking action.....together with his 'love interest' from the 1st movie. My suggestion? Try deviating from the original comic storyline..just a lil bit pls..You'll understand y if you watch the movie.

4. Jay Chou - Jay's new movie, together with Gong Li and Chow Yun Fat is now called 'Curse of the Golden Flower' from the original title 'The City of Golden Armour'. Hmm..i prefer the original title more. Anyway, here are some pics from the movie, directed by Zhang Yimou, showing Jay as the 2nd oldest prince of the Emperor (Chow Yun Fat).

So serious lar.., can u spot Jay?

Design sketches of Jay's character

Hebe, look at all my bling bling!

5. Chow Yun Fat - Besides his Zhang Yimou movie, he's also doing Pirates of the Caribbean. Here are some pics of how he looks as a chinese pirate.

Arr lassie, does my braided mustache and yellow teeth turn you on?

Visiting the Oil Town

I know it's really been a long time since my last update. Geez, I'm already feeling lazy about updating so soon into my new blog :P That's not good. Anyway, I was in Miri in early July together with Mika Kuan for the InteRota Zone Assembly, as hosted by the Rotaract Club of Curtin. However, once we reached there, it turned out that bsides the Miri Rotaractors, there were only 5 other Rotaractors from Kch and Sibu *sweatdrops* There were about 50-60 Interactors from Miri tho. It was a 3 day 2 nite event, but we decided to stay one extra day just to see some of Miri. The last time I was in Miri, it was about 9-10 years ago, and I'd heard that it's really changed to be almost more modern than Kch. Especially the shopping!

We first arrived on a Friday, 3oth of June, coincidentally, the last day in the Rotary year, meaning, my official last day as Rotaract president. After some crazy driving from the Rotaractor who picked us up from the airport, we met up with the rest of the Rotaractors from Miri and Sibu, who'd come in by bus. The rest of the day was spent settling into our accomodation for the trip, the newly constructed Curtin Villa houses (which are meant for Curtin students), and getting to know the rest of the participants. We're kinda like the guinea pigs for the Villas, coz it was very dusty everywhere, tho it was all completed.

My 1st hostel! Home for 3 days

We were brought for a campus tour of Curtin, which really looks like a western campus, and is pretty big. Next, the Interactors were bundled into the bus, while Rotaractors were in various cars and we all headed to Tanjung Selera, which is a public park by the sea. The Interactors played ice breaking games while us OLD ppl walked around. Lol...of coz we felt old in comparison. Dinner was fairly simple, and was also at Tanjung. Didn't do much after reaching 'home' as Mika abandoned me for more 'luxurious' accomodation at his relative's house. There was TV in the living room, but since like every other thing in the house, it's from China and needs a different plug. So ....nothing to do!

Before: The beach looking pretty dull and stormy

After: Lighted up by a spectacular sunset

I woke up earlier than my alarm, due to the boys playing football just outside my 'house'. But the rest of the day was spent in Curtin's lecture theatre, listening to some speeches, lectures and training on being in the BOD. Sad news was that I had to give a presentation on Rotaract on all levels. It was supposed to b one hour long...but bcoz the speech b4 mine took too long, i had less time. Which was good tho!..Ended speaking for bout 40 mins. That interesting speech b4 mine was by Dato Lau Siu Wai, who is this rich entrepreneur guy who owns and sponsored our accomodation, and was 'instrumental' in bringing Curtin to Miri. But, a lot of the Miri participants complained that it's their 4th or 5th time listening to the same speech. Lol! To me, my observation is simply this: "Are all Datos like tat....kinda 'ham' and loso old men?"

Anyway, that nite was slightly better, since there was a BBQ. Well..an attempted one. Managed to start talking to the others lo....coz din know what to say to them earlier..Lolz, i'm so useless. No choice anyway, Mika abandoned me yet again! Hung out with all the Rotaractors and around 11pm, the Miri guys asked if I wanted to join them to watch the England VS Portugal match in town. So yeah, since there wasn't much, and it's England....I went along. Turns out all the other guys who were under 18..wanted to tag along. So we brought along some of them, including some gals. Felt like such a mum, constantly nagging them that they can't drink or we'd all be in trouble. Several places were full, so we ended up at this food place owned by Alan Salon's owner, bhind San Francisco Coffee. It was actually my 1st time watching a footie match outside of home, and it was kinda strange that it was with these ppl i'd never met b4 the past few days. Interesting match, but disappointing for England fans. Stupid sissy Ronaldo....sheesh...

Noticed something bout one of the other customers at the place...earlier in the match..he was wearing a Portugal jersey...but when England seemed to improve, he disappeared..and reappeared in a white England jersey!! Talk about fickle. But it was off to sleep as we had to wake up early that morning. We went to the Old Folks Home to do some painting and cleaning up. I ended up working in the garden, but bcoz we didn't have appropriate tools, there wasn't much we could do. But they did managed to repaint their hall and it looked pretty good. There were some more talks and a Q&A session back at Curtin. Then we were back at Curtin Villa, RUSHING to get ready for that nite's Closing Ceremony cum RAC Curtin's Installation at Dynasty Hotel. The hardest part of getting ready...was that there were no mirrors at all! I had to resort to using my hp to check how i looked *sweatdrops*.

All the Rotaractors of Kch and Miri (Sibu went home first)

The bad thing about their installation, was that i ended up at the VIP table. I didn't know most of the ppl there...so I was quiet, unless Bay, the outgoing President was there. But though it was his un-installation, he was bz running around too. The food was pretty nice tho and all the different groups of Interactors had to perform and most were interestingly fun. After all that, the Rotaractors brought us for drinks at this place near Cheerie Berries and the rest of the nightspots. But since it was a Sunday nite...it was pretty quiet. We went back to Curtin Villa, and it was supposed to be just me and Mika. But 3 of the Miri guys decided to accompany us. We ended up staying up chatting from 12-3am. About what? Chasing gals...lol...we were asked for advise on how to chase gals...mayb should consider setting up some courses! AHhahah

Few hrs later, we went for a dimsum breakfast..which was cheap for what we ordered....if only Kch had cheap dimsum too!...Most of the day was spent bowling, the guys playing at the arcades....looking around all the diff shopping centers...about 3-4? Shopping wise...I only bought a Adidas World Cup shirt...to match Michael's blue Japan shirt...and I also got him this white Adidas England shirt...so impulsive! But it was one of the Rotarian's shop..so..it's ok. Yeah, there were some shops that kch and KL have..but...nothing much lo. We had lunch at this Jap restaurant, near the schools of the girls the 2 guys were chasing. Later we had a rushed dinner at Dynasty Hotel *sweatdrops* as we had to rush off to the airport. Luckily we made it with some time to spare. Phew!

Mika & his Miri sidekicks..lol!

All in all, it was a pretty ok trip. I mostly enjoyed the last 2 nites and the last day, coz of the fellowship with the Rotaractors. It was nice that they brought us around and accompanied us here and there. Hope they'll look us up when they come over.
