If Life Were A Soundtrack

If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?

Here's how it works:
1. open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
2. put it on shuffle
3. press play
4. for every question, type the song that's playing
5. new question -- press the next button
6. don't lie and try to pretend you're cool (thought I'd highlight that..don't judge me!)


opening credits:
The Housemartins - Caravan Of Love (love this song!! I think I will enjoy this as my opening credit. Nice~~~)

waking up:
Michael Buble - I've Got The World On A String
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on the rainbow
I've got that string around my finger
Oh, What a world, what a life - I'm in love
first day at school:
Shanice - I Love Your Smile (yea, I remember laughing and grinning silly a lot)

falling in love:
Boys Like Girls - Thunder
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder
breaking up:
Harry Nilsson - Without You (hmm...this is spooky, how come all the songs turn out to be so suitable??? But then, my breakups are not this sad :D)

Oasis - Live Forever (I looooove this song, I looooove Oasis. I never went to any prom.....)

life's okay:
Eminem - My Name Is (er.....kinda dumb)

mental breakdown:
The Fray - Absolute
Is this all we get, to be absolute
Quiet but I'm sure, there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear
driving:

Don't think, just shoot!

Here's the pictures(my first roll) from a tiny, fully plastic but cute camera. Those that doesn't know about lomography will not believe that those picture came from the toy camera.

Yes, lomo uses film, giving 'weird' outcome but is also another context of beauty. But the best part is the anticipation and the surprise when I see my pictures. Just like the famous quote from Mr. Gump
My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.


Vintage feel


Ipoh oldtown, origin of white coffee.


Kellie's Castle


My finger trapped in the picture. Made a lot of such mistake :/


Ipoh cave temple


This picture took from negative film. More mild and soft



10 Golden Rules of Lomography
  1. Take your camera everywhere you go. (I bring my baby angel everywhere I go, even to work!)

  2. Use it any time – day and night.

  3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.

  4. Try the shot from the hip.

  5. Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.

  6. Don’t think. (William Firebrace)

  7. Be fast.

  8. You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.

  9. Afterwards either.

  10. Don’t worry about any rules.

I'm enjoying solitude

Right now I am enjoying solitary, with a mugful of rootbeer float (yay, now Oldtown has rootbeer float!!), listening to Zee Avi (she is amazing!!), and doing my online stuff (this include chatting with friends).

Loneliness is not scary but as long as I don't have to do this everyday. I missed talking and laughing (and gossiping and bitching :P).

Another small things that always cheer me up, anytime...

I don't have much to write about tonight, but just have this urge to write something. I will be leaving my job this coming Wednesday. And looking back, I had been in KL for more than a year. And I did enjoy my time here, a lot. KL has much to offer and everything is so different, the people and the life. There are also a lot of interesting events, stories and food too, which I enjoyed the most. People here are very different, more complicated, very socialable, and a city with not many mature adults but a lot of materialism. I met some very nice and interesting people too, mostly people from art/craft/design events. As for my job, I feel more and more numb with working, seems like losing the sparks with the first lover. I guess that's how everyone else feels too? But it feels like a zombie if I'm on a career without passion. As I am about to leave the current job, I am not feeling at all excited about the next new job.

and when I am about to finish this post, I drank half of the root beer...how to keep me accompany for another 2 hours? :/

Not really a chatty post tonight, maybe more tomorrow. Oh yeah, I should blog about lomo too. :)

Vilest villains

According to MSN entertainment, the vilest villains (who invokes the most fear at the mere mention of their name?) are
  • Darth Vader (but I think he has a sexy voice, not that scary)
  • The Joker (Totally agree, great tagline and horrifying make up skill, smeared lipstick and all, so yeah, he's pretty scary)
  • Hannibal Lecter (He's cool!! He has awesomeness!!)
  • The Terminator, T101 (his shaky shinny muscles did freak me out)
  • Lord Voldemort (Avada Kedavra and you're gone)

But the vilest villain in my list is Sylar (Zachary Quinto). He doesn't have heavy breathing voice behind a mask, he doesn't have smeared make ups, he has the Hannibal Lecter gentleman charm, he doesn't have muscled motionless face and he is not a gasp of smoke. He is a powerful hunk....opps, I mean he is the vilest villain. His power includes telekinesis, rapid cell regeneration (like Wolverine), shapeshifting (like Mystic), precognition, electric manipulation, you name it, he has it, or soon will have it. And oo, I forgot to mention, he doesn't have to wear tights with cape outfit.

ooo...those killer eyes. I could die melting looking at you.


Sylar : I want your nine lifes ability
Kitty : meownooo


Actually The Joker came as the close second of my favourite villain but he lost his marks on styling (hair and make ups...can do without any makeups). But I love his villain 'charisma' and his wicked sense of humour. Not many villain can be as evil and funny at the same time as him.

And this guy(thing) haunted my childhood. Too scary...and don't even dare to post his picture on my white lovely blog. Can any of you remember him? I heard there will be a remake of this movie. Creeeppppyyyyy...... (Dear Lord Voldemort, I think you have to learn from him in scaring kids)

Look what I got from Mr. Postman

It always cheers me up when Mr. Postman drop something for me. That's why I always love snail mail swapping and buying stuff online.

A very beautiful bracelet from BeadPot. Check out Frances's blogshop, her works are amazing and at very very reasonable price. And she is such a sweet person. Love love love this pearl bracelet soooo much. (I'm going go back to her shop again to buy for my friend's birthday present..shhh) Support handmade!!


Ain't it beautiful?

Look at those fabric. Whole boxes of them. I will have a busy time taking photo and listing them on Etsy.

White Slim Angel

Here's my baby, white slim angel from superheadz. Bought it from The Click Shop. Will go to buy some films tomorrow and start shooting during the long break next week. Can't wait to play with it.



You will be amazed how this all made from plastic toy camera can do. I can't wait...^__^

and it doesn't even neet battery!! oo, and forgot to add that it's so light and fragile. I have to be really careful with this angel.

and when I couldn't afford the rich man's hobby of photography, there's always an alternative.

Here's some sample pictures from this camera :D
