Parachute

a 4-hour stay in a library today is by far the longest in my record. i rarely enter any library. and now, i'm working for a library. irony.

• karen wagner is the one who hired me. she always greeted me with a smile. a nice mother-ish person.
• cristie (i hope its correct) is the one who always show me around the workplace and the library. thanks!
• rebecca. the office manager. i managed to settle my first real task under 15 minutes. 3 journals. yeah! a good start.
• trevor. a cool dude who taught me the trick of photocopy, scanner and biofilm machines. a senior.

oh, i'm working with fellow malaysians! karen said the employment distribution is conquered by native wisconsin people and malaysian! me, farah, ganu, aisyah, helmi. (i kinda saw a name "MIMI" but wasn't sure whether she's a malaysian.

a great start. hoping to rake a load full of money from the library. hahah!

p.s.: parachute by coldplay...quite 'layan'...........argghh!! i'm supposed to hate coldplay!

Nutcracker Suite, March, Tchaikovsky

a good way to know about the reason why i hate ghosts and would like to punch 'em in the face (if they even had one). i can but only imagine that it's not fear to ghost that i felt, but much more to disgust and rage.

read this.

p.s.: the best classical song ever: Nutcracker Suite, March, Tchaikovsky (it's only one song, not three). i would like to try on the infamous qibo's BOSE CQ15 while listening to the HD version of this song. it's gonna be legen- *wait for it...* - dary...

Bola-bola Api

gosh! i cannot force myself to fall in love...with american popular sports! be it basketball, american football or baseball, i just cannot see myself watching those sports live on tv with fellow american neighbors.

worst, tv in my dorm does not have any soccer channel! bye-bye champions league. oh, lyon, you guys rock! now, where is my barcelona? messi, oo messi...where are you?

p.s.: bola-bola api song always on replay in my head...argghh...

Dido and Aeneas

dear mr snow,

please don't go away just yet. i haven't had enough vivid memory of you. please stay at least for a couple of weeks...

p.s.: a sorrow, emo, gloomy song that i just found: Henry Purcell, Dido's lament from Dido and Aeneas. (i loiike!)

Toccata & Fugue in D minor

i'm going to enter the photography competition for the international student society...gotta learn fast in limited time...the darn thing is that i have to stuff my bulky camera into my bag everyday to class...duh...

p.s.: loving toccata & fugue in d minor by j.s.bach...it is the song i've been wanting to know eversince i was little when i watch dracula-themed cartoon... :D

I Looiike!

"people keep saying to me : 'the right person will come' but apparently i still dont see anyone coming and i seriously think mine got hit by a truck"

-farahin, 2010

p.s.: i looiiike!! ( i like! -in a very exaggerative way)

Winter Song

just watched "closed note" japanese movie, which i would give 5/5 or 9.5/10

it's a "cinta-tak-kesampaian", "one-sided-love", "ghost-of-girlfriend's-past", "perfect-love-but-later-one-dies-another-lives" type of movie. i really love the idea of the movie. the climax is not just that visible. quite a happy but sad ending. another movie star caught my attention aside from erika sawajiri; yuko takeuchi. the ending song to this movie is "love & truth" by my favourite j-pop singer: YUI!

link to this movie here

funny thing is that so far i haven't found any hollywood movies that can convey a strong message to the audiences. it's always japanese movies. or maybe it's just me being ignorant to the americans. korean movies? i haven't taken a peek into it just yet.

p.s.: fuyu no uta (winter song) might as well be as addictive as mirae. love it!

You Give Love a Bad Name

walked behind a deeply-in-love couple in blistering cold and snow,

but i felt warm...am i being too metaphoric or hyperbolic?

p.s.: always in love with bon jovi songs, one of my favorite: the title of this post.

p.s.: in progress to cover guitar skill for plain white t's - hey there delilah.

just spotted the most beautiful korean/pinoy/indon/chinese (@_@) girl while crossing the traffic light and we crossed our eyes for a second...

putting that aside, let me jot down a few of my observation results:

• majority of beautiful girls in UW is made up of interracial or international students.
• although beautiful girls in UW eat a lot of fast food, they cope up with the fats by walking to class. so they can maintain slim and slender.
• pure-blooded indon girls are much more beautiful than malay girl. (though, this is subjective)
• although americans are much more friendly than malaysians, but they lack in commitment in relationship.
• malaysian verbal jokes hardly work in US...sigh...US (verbal) jokes are somehow lame (to me)...
• "Family Guy" cartoon is the best comedy ever! it even makes "The Simpson" look&sound so lame...

these, however are just a few of the whole thing i've discovered...one sentence that i find so catchy:

"ningen wa omoishiroidesu"

(human is interesting)

p.s.: i'm starting to love renaissance works of art

michelangelo's pieta

Tsukiakari

snow under the moonlight is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen...

*p.s. - only realized by author after 5 months in the States...duh..
*tsukiakari (jap) - moonlight
