Quotes to Get You Thinking

Quotes to Get You Thinking

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path
and leave a trail. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Who wants to live a shallow, hollow existence on the surface of things?
Life becomes proscribed by all the things we should avoid and
prescribed by all the things we must be careful to do. We get so busy
trying to demonstrate our spiritual correctness that we lose the art of
living out of our souls. (Jeff Imbach, The River Within)

Rufus Wainwright - La Complainte de la Butte

La lune trop bleme pose un diademe sur tes cheveux roux
La lune trop rousse de gloire eclabousse ton jupon plein d'trous
La lune trop pale caresse l'opale de tes yeux blases
Princesse de la rue soit la bienvenue dans mon coeur brise

Chorus:
The stairways up to la butte
Can make the wreched sigh
While windmill wings of the moulin
shelter you and I

Original Song:
[Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux misereux
Les ailes du moulin protegent les amoureux]
Petite mandigotte je sens ta menotte qui cherche ma main
Je sens ta poitrine et ta taille fine
J'oublie mon chagrin
Je sens sur tes levres une odeur de fievre de gosse mal nourri
Et sous ta caresse je sens une ivresse qui m'aneantit

Chorus:
The stairways up to la butte
Can make the wreched sigh
While windmill wings of the moulin
shelter you and I

Original Song:
[Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux misereux
Les ailes du moulin protegent les amoureux]
Et voila qu'elle trotte la lune qui flotte, la princesse aussi
La da da da da da da da da da
Mes reves epanouis
Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux misereux
Les ailes du moulin protegent les amoureux

English Translation:
The moon, all too fair, in your russet-red hair sets a sparkling crown
The moon, all too red with glory, is spread on your poor, tattered gown
The moon, all too white, caresses the light in your world-weary eyes
Princess of the street, do allow me to greet you, my broken heart cries
The steps of Montmartre, all uphill, are hardest on the poor
The sails of the mill, like wings, shelter all paramours
I feel, beggar-girl, your fetters, they curl as they seek out my wrists
I feel your young breasts, your thin little waist
I lose my regrets
I taste on your mouth the feverish breath of a half-starving waif
And with your caress I sense drunkenness erasing my life
The steps of Montmartre, all uphill, are hardest on the poor
The sails of the mill, like wings, shelter all paramours
And see how she skips, the moon how she drifts,
The princess in tow
Da da da da da da da da da da
My reveries grow
The steps of Montmartre, all uphill, are hardest on the poor
The sails of the mill, like wings, shelter all paramours

From Moulin Rouge. =)

One of those days...

I woke up this morning and I felt slightly depressed. I don't know why, but suddenly I felt so lifeless. Like there was no point in doing anything. First of all I was sick this whole week after coming back to uni, having sorethroat, slightly feverish and then running nose. All not very severe tho, not as bad as the last time I fell sick. Anyway suddenly I felt so sick of everything. No mood to study. Mainly because when the lecturer is lazy, of course you would feel lazy, no? This semester it feels like out of 4 subjects, only one really interests me. The rest are interesting subjects but the lecturers just suck the life out of the subject. Really. So boring. And so these past few days I was just staring at the whiteboard when the lecturer was teaching. Maybe it was because I was sick but somehow suddenly my mind blanked/spaced out..and I don't know why i'm here.

One thought on why I was depressed might be because we were laughing so hard yesterday night that maybe I used up all my endorphins for the day? Nah...can't be that...

So I'm feeling this weekend I won't be doing anything useful again...the only thing I can look forward to is MPO tomorrow night. It's gonna be good!

5 a.m.

It's 5 am and I'm blogging. Sad, no? Maybe not, because i'm only blogging because I can't sleep! I feel feverish and my nose is leaking a little! It all started on Sunday night. I guess I overworked myself a little when I painted the back of our house in the middle of the day under the super hot sun!! Hahaha...it was after church so I thot before I become super lazy and not paint the wall today (one week at home and the last day oni wanna do all dis :P), I might as well get it over and done now! At first the weather was fine, and then suddenly the scorching sun came out and decided it was time to burn phoebe alive! :S I just continued painting cause honestly the area was kinda small, but I had to do 2 coats, so it took a while.And then the rest of the day was so freaking hot that I had to turn on the air-cond so that I wouldn't sweat like a pig (wahahahhaha) By nighttime I had a mild sorethroat. So I could barely sleep, and we were leaving for uni in the morn!! I was fine in the morning, but then after the journey back and all the unloading and the class-going and makaning I was so tired! So on Monday night I took 2 biji panadol and Ko-ed early. Lucky had panadol man! If not yesterday would probably be like today where I can't sleep! :s Today not only Im feeling hot, my nose is running. And I think the lymph node that swells up when ur sick IS swollen. Aiyoyoyoyo...no good no good. Lucky no tests this week...

Today our beloved fluids lecturer put up a class notice telling us that there's no fluids class. Im hoping its not because he's lazy but because he had somewhere to go to. We're so gonna die for fluids...he taught us one chapter in like 30 mins, then no mo class till now and we don't have any examples for this chapter! And then got assignment to pass up on Friday!! Aiyoyoyoyooyoyoo

On a happier note, it's Cheeseman's birthday! (Wednesday) On Tuesday it was Josh Groban's birthday!! Since I can't really celebrate Josh's birthday (:P) we celebrated Cheeseman's birthday! We were chatting with him, and then suddenly we said brb, and then we were at his doorstep! Wahahahhaha! Surprise surprise! :P So there were 6 of us(including bday dude), and we sang what I think was the slowest version ever of Happy Birthday, and then it was makan time! Ok ok so we only had American Chocolate Cake and Kickapoo Joy Juice (which made us all high later on), and mostly laughter n crapping. Wahahahaha. Might post up pics if I find a decent one :S Then after the partay was over and we were heading back to the apt, these 2 mangkuks I call housemates decided to go round uni. Because since it was after 12am we had to write our names d so might as well lepak samo it seems. Sweat sweat. So around uni we went, with nina driving in the middle of the road and sarah high on joy juice. wahahaha. What a scene!

Ok now im feeling super hot again and im gonna try to get some sleep...not sure if i'll be alive to go for 8am tutorial....:S

Happy Birthday again Cheeseman! Hope you enjoyed the mini party! :P

I tried....

I really tried...

But in the end..

Screw MOM! Lemme enjoy my last few days of holiday!!

And so, I have not finished my homework.

Damn.

Sighhhhhhhhhh

Uh oh..

It's already friday, and Im going back to uni on Monday. A whole bunch of assignments not touched yet. The other day as soon as I opened the textbook I started yawning. :S

Crap!

Ahhhh...

It's the third day of CNY and still we had alot of people coming over! Awesome! Let's see...Mostly relatives on sunday, longtime family friends on monday and local friends today! So much preparing and cleaning to do! Hahahaha...It's really great to have people over..somemore in our new house! More people come these days because our house is near the highway, which means its on the way to most places! ;) Alot of stuff happening, especially on the first day of CNY when relatives came over for dinner, but i'm too lazy to type, so I'll just post some pics!

That's his toy gun making noise.Previously when I "shot" him he would act injured and do a bit of "breakdancing"! Ahahahaha...then I guess he got tired!

The last time I saw Jeremy was during Christmas, and that time he already start to kecoh, and now lagi kecoh! hahahaha...he terus come attack my room, the last time he threw my toy Mini cooper that Nina gave, and the side window broke...damn sad man...naughty Jeremy!! I wonder when he will come n kecoh again...hahaha...

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to two of my closest friends, Rubashiny and Agnes!! You're 20!! The big two-o! Muahahahahah! That reminds me that i'm gonna be old too soon!! :S So happy birthday and remember to enjoy it in your birthday suit!! :P

Talking about birthday suits, I have 2 friends who when they know that they're gonna be alone in the apt in uni, the one thing they wanna do is walk around naked =_=".. ahahahahaha...don't wanna know if they ever did that! I wonder if there's anyone out there who likes to walk around naked and they never told anyone...ahahahaa!

Valentine's Day Trivia

Did you know that...

Teachers will receive the most Valentine's Day cards, followed by children, mothers, wives, and then, sweethearts.

15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day.

More than 50% of cards are sold the week of the holiday, with the largest and most elaborate Valentine cards sold 48 hours before February 14.

About 3% of pet owners will give Valentine's Day gifts to their pets.

Cupid, another symbol of Valentines Day, became associated with it because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards holding a bow and arrows because he is believed to use magical arrows to inspire feelings of love.

Hallmark has over 1330 different cards specifically for Valentine's Day.

In the United States, 64% of men do not make plans in advance for a romantic Valentine's Day with their sweethearts.

70% of those celebrating the holiday give a card, followed by a telephone call (49%), gift (48%), special dinner (37%), candy (33%) restaurant meal (30%), and flowers (19%).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hahaha..cool stats eh! Anyway I'm spending my night watching movies! Yeahh!! Too lazy to go out...hahaha...Happy V-day!

p.s. I realised that somehow lecturers and teachers like to call me 'pb'!(Okay maybe just one lecturer and one teacher!But still!!) I wonder why!! :P I never mentioned that people call me pb (okay there's like 2 ppl and one of em calls me that to irritate me :P). The rest create their own nicknames for me. Ahahahaha!

Oh man!!

Just came back from CG, and my body is aching everywhere! hahahaha! Been laughing all evening, since dinner to CG! We had fun, basically the whole idea of the CG was to exchange presents, and David our CG leader asked us to share on what we think of Valentine's Day before we get our presents! It was ok I guess, we were laughing most of the time and playing with the candles that Agnes brought, which means were didn't really pay attention when anyone was talking. Maybe its because Shewing Gum was being a dumbass (forgive my language!) by doin all kinds of nonsense! hahahaha! David gave some deep sharing that is really interesting, but I won't say anything here cause this blog is not for deep stuff (you might be going "really now??" ahahahah) Anyway the fun part was opening the presents (supposed to be below RM5) and also taking pictures. Oh oh and Jason performed a song. He din intro the title also (=_=") but it was a nice song. And then he kept playing songs so we had background music and hysterical laughter at the pondok in front of ILMU beside the lake! =P Since I so semangat today I'm gonna post some pics :P (because my latest reader asked me to blog about the CG :P)


Me and Sarah by candlelight


Group pic. Girls only tho!


Me n my present!


Sarah getting desperate! :P


The three badaks?


All in the CG!! Yeahh!!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! And remember, this day is for everyone to celebrate, and not just for couples to go mushy and stuff!! :P I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day, just that my friends here go crazy everytime and then they get desperate n stuff. Ahahaahhaha. OKla okla nola nola :P After all, isn't it better to show your love everyday instead of just one day in a year?

This week has been the usual too lazy to study and do anything useful, but I also got to listen to ppl's V-day plans and give ideas (wah! ppl actually ask me??!!) Ahahahaha...very sad i know but I'm actually amazed people actually wanna tell me about stuff like this...and ppl actually emo to me about stuff...hahahaha...I look like a emo absorber issit? ahahahaha! I dun mind listening lar, its quite an honor, I'm actually quite surprised I that have alot of patience :P

It's been a long interesting day, and my lecturer decided to cancel the 11am class, and we wanted to cancel tomoro's 8am tutorial, and so my class only starts at 2pm! And it's MOM! ahahaha...Ramesh Ramesh Ramesh! Test kantoi masih nak bising :P Anyway happy V-day! Have a great day! I need my sleeep!

p.s. Quite a few people asked me what Im doin for V-day. Like...the same people asking me a few times...ahahaha. I got no plans. Actually got la. Sit in the apartment watch movies! :P It's free! hihihihihi

Starting today...

Artist: Natalie Imbruglia
Album: Counting Down The Days
Year: 2005
Title: Starting Today

Starting today I'm not going to waste another moment
Even if I had the chance before I would have blown it
But you took me by surprise
And you caught just in time
Everyday you give me reason not to walk away
I stop believing the world's gone crazy
And if it is you'll save me
Starting today I'm not going to worry about tomorrow
I'll wash away all this fear that's left me feeling hollow
Because you make me want to try
And you caught me just in time
Everyday you give me reason not to walk away
I'll stop believing I should burn like crazy
Cos if I did you chase me

Anyway, I should have told you
So many times
That I shyed away
Somehow you always seem to
Be there, making it easy
And you give me reason to stay

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday
Oh everyday I'll stop believing that I should burn like crazy
Cos if I did you chase me

Every day you give me reason not to walk away

Starting today I'm not gonna waste another moment...

I'm not gonna waste another moment worrying about tomorrow!!
