The Electric Sky

Can you explain to me now?
If you're still able,
It's to late for me now,
There's a hole in the earth.....

-by Encik Chino Moreno-

This song is going on and on in my head! I wonder if it is because i've been listening to it everyday on my journey to & fro work : p

Which brings me to a new Job perk I've just discovered @_@.......

All this arranging and sending my staff to London means I have easy access to Albums that are easily available in the UK !!!! yeah! I am a bit slow to have only realised this now.

Oh i am so looking forward to get my copies of Albert Hammond Jr's (Guitarist from the Strokes) solo album and Origin of Symmetry by M.U.S.E.

I did find a copy of Origin once in Rock Corner but I regret I did not buy it straight away as it is so difficult to get a copy now.

My drive time is looking brighter : p

Tupai Memang Pandai Lompat....

Aiyo, sometimes I don’t know what to do with myself? It is so apparent what I have to do tapi bila masa tu sampai, tak boleh buat pulak…..

Apa I doing, I don’t know…

Why oh why? Is there a cure for this disease?

Strain this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere

You're cinematic razor sharp
A welcome arrow through the heart
Under your skin feels like home
Electric shocks on aching bones

There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have

I am a Penguin in a Zoo......

I found out last night, at the Juice annual launch, that apparently I am referred to the ‘CB dude’ by colleagues of a mate of mine. CB = Cibai, due to my half Chinese (Chi) & half Punjabi (bai) heritage.

Wow! I think more people know me by The Cibai then my actual name LOL. Maybe, I should have a band of made up of Cibai’s and call ourselves The Cibai. Cibai Rocks!!

This triggered fond memories during my drive home from Chynna Bar. It is funny how people tend to always have nicknames for others. Can’t deny I am guilty of it.

Thinking back to my high school days, we all had nick names for every bloody one @_@. Hmmm, the following are some of mine which I still remember:

Cibai - the top of the lot, guess it’s the easiest to relate to and easy on the tongue lol, not to mention there where not a lot of real Cibai around @_#

Singh Babi - given by a certain Chinese Gorilla stuck in the middle of Melbourne

Vela Paandi - Tamil for White Pig, given by my dearest mate Scavenger Joe aka Jaya. I used to be fairer then most of my mates. Its not that I am damn fair or wat, its just that most my mates Indians lol

Penguin - My classmates called me this when they saw my feet during footie. I’ve got a big body but small feet. This triggered some of those small feet = small wiener jokes, which I believe to be untrue.

These are the only ones I remember but I am sure there where lots more. Hmm, how I used to so damn pissed off when people call me those names but now I think back and laugh. Funny times. I wished I had the super power to recall everyones Nicknames & the story behind it, sure damn kaww funny.

I feel a little nostalgic as I have lost touch with most of the guys which called me those names. So this is a dedication to all the Binatangs, 67s & Colour Wolves that I spent a good 11 years of my life with.

p.s: This is a disclaimer. The names above may only be used by the buggers that attended the same shit hole educational institution as myself. All others may only use the 1st on the list which I forgive due to the punt, you sick twats! ha ha ha ha!

Blackbird Singing In The Dead Of The Night...

Take this broken wings and learn to fly, All your life, You are only waiting for this moment to be free.....

I am free of shackles that bounds others, I am free of the fog that blinds some, I am free and I am me.

I see the world the way I want to, I feel my surroundings they way I prefer, I seek and I will find the littles joys I like.

I could be lonely and yet I am happy, I could be sick but yet I am jolly. I guess it all falls into place when i accepted the experience of life for what it is and not try to force what will not be.

some for better not forever......

p.s: I need to get off now, very tired and stressed. Mesti relaks!

Kereta Kecil Ku Menangis

Looks like my little darling will have to wait for her cosmetic surgery to be done, sigh! I was planning to go back to Ipoh this weekend considering the Bank Holidays to get my car fixed but I was informed this morning that it would take at least 3 DAYS of work!!

Geez, I did not realize that much time is required to paint a bumper and get it fixed. Guess if you can’t get a good job quick and I can rest my mind knowing that I am not getting ripped off by my mechanic. He better not considering I’ve known him for the last 8 years. At least I will get a long relaxing weekend leading to the Kanye West gig. Since I am not going back, I won’t need to rush back on Sunday morning.

With my current run of luck, I am afraid to travel on the highway else my sweethearts bum gets violated again.

I can't live in a Yellow Submarine!

Currently I am spending a lot of my free time at home playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Silent Hunter 3. The former is a FPS based around Chernobyl and it gives a Fallout 2 vibe, which is great considering its a FPS. I like atmospheric games as they tend to leave a deep impression.

As for the latter, it is a submarine sim. Arguably the best sub sim out in the market. Playing these games concurrently, I have come to realize I suck at commanding Submarines (Damn, there goes my dream of being a Sub Commander!). Shit! I can’t even past the training mission man.

Well I can maneuver the sub around and use its aerial & artillery guns but I get stuck when it comes to getting a torpedo to hit its mark. What good is a submarine if it can get its torpedoes to hit?

It sucks when one of your dream jobs gets crushed! #_#

Last Night, I dined in Hell.....

Finally, I got to see frank miller’s 300 on the big screen. I was very impressed with the visuals. I particularly love comics’ adaptation that remains true to the source. First Sin City and now 300, I guess miller’s cinematic style of drawing makes it easier for producers to adapt his books into films. Unlike those Marvel cash cows, 300 hits the right spots and never tries to complicate or simplify things.

The entire film is an absolute blood bath. I would imagine that was how the Battle of Thermopylae would have been. Oh, and from the expressions of a certain someone, I am sure the fairer sex will enjoy the movie too for the Greek Gods physique of the Spartans.

I seriously wish that they will make a Dark Knight Returns movie or maybe another Sin City flick.
