Totally Awesome

 GLEE!!!!!

Oh how I've missed the show, the music, the characters  and the guest stars.

Season 2 us set to be bigger and badder with the casting of 3 new cast members!

Pretty boy Chord Overstreet was casted to play Sam, a football player that Finn takes under his wing.

He would eventually become Finn's rival in the Glee Club.

Personally, I don't love nor hate him yet. I have never heard of him but remember seeing him in a few iCarly episodes. Can he sing? I don't know, I can't seem to find his audition......

But Chord is not the biggest news......

Actor-singer-songwriter Darren Criss has landed the much-talked-about new gay role on Glee.

Isn't he dreamy....

Will he have eyes for Kurt? Maybe. Maybe not.

Criss’ character, Blaine—a cute and charismatic gay student from a rival Glee club named the Dalton Academy Warblers—will maintain a strictly platonic friendship with McKinley High’s most out and proud pupil. But could that change as the season progresses?

Series creator Ryan Murphy is keeping his options open.

Ever since Murphy announced that Kurt would be getting a love interest in season 2, speculation about the identity of his suitor has run rampant.

The casting of Overstreet led some to speculate that his quarterback character Sam would play that role, a theory Chris Colfer, Kurt, all but shot down when he said that there’s no sign of romantic tension between Sam and Kurt in the first four episodes.
Jane Lynch, who plays evil cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, however, let slip that Sam and Kurt may have something blooming in the future.....

Back to Darren Criss, he has built quite a Web following as a member of the University of Michigan theater company Team StarKid. The group’s spoof, A Very Potter Musical, went viral in YouTubeland and turned Darren  (who plays the title role Harry) into an Internet star.

To those who haven't watched it yet.... WATCH IT!!!

Unlike Overstreet, I know Darren can sing. Very well. Just look at his audition!




It simply oozes awesomeness and you can see his personality. His EP Human was one of the most downloaded on iTunes and his Disney covers in Youtube are simply melting....

*Cue Fangirl scream" SQUEEEEEEEE!!!

I am so happy for Darren. He totally deserves this role, Team Starkid must be so proud!

I have personally created a FaceBook Page dedicated solely to him here

Please join!!

However, there is 1 more yet-to-be-cast actor. Will he turn out to be Kurt’s BF instead? Speculate away :)

The plot surrounding Kurt’s first boyfriend thickens.......

PS: I have my fingers crossed that the third actor will be Sam Tsui ;P or Nick Pitera

      Penny for my thoughts? Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar,
           They're worth so much more after I'm a goner;
                 Then maybe then you'll hear the song I've been singing,
                      Funny when you're dead how people start listening...

Scare Tactics

M. Night Shyamalan, I forgive you.

I forgive you for disastrous "The Lady in the Water," boring "The Happening" and this summer's  vomit inducing "The Last Airbender".

You have totally redeemed yourself with "Devil"

The screenplay of “Devil” was penned by Brian Nelson and based on a story by M. Night Shyamalan, a man with a reputation for churning out movies with twist ending after twist ending. But there is enough foreshadowing here (see title) that the resolution isn’t quite the shocker we’ve come to expect.

Pure evil has descended on a high rise in Philadelphia, as five nameless people board an elevator only to find their destination isn’t exactly where they had in mind. This scenario is the plot of “Devil”.

During the film’s upside-down opening, the narrator which we later know as a security officer named Ramirez (Jacob Vargas) who doesn’t appear on screen for almost half an hour, tells of an old story he heard in his childhood. The story repeats itself throughout the ages, always beginning with a suicide, which opens the way for the Devil to appear on Earth and make sure that everything that can go wrong does.

“Devil” begins the same way. Here, the suicide that invites evil in also serves another purpose, bringing Det. Bowden (Chris Messina), a faithless, recovering alcoholic still grieving over the deaths of his wife and young son, to the building where the elevator is stuck.

As chance would have it, the malfunctioning elevator is of the express variety and gets stuck in an area where there is no access. All efforts to get it back online fail. Attempts to open the doors are unsuccessful. All who try to help dies a gruesome death. The passengers — a mechanic, an old woman, a guard, a rich woman and a salesman — are stuck with one another.

As Bowden and Ramirez look on via the elevator’s security camera, things begin to go wrong, pushing the detective to look deeper into the riders’ backgrounds. His investigation reveals that each passenger has his own checkered past, a fact that seems far beyond mere coincidence. Ramirez believes their past deeds and the lies they tell themselves are why they have been brought together. Bad things like this happen for a reason.

The attacks mostly take place when the elevator lights malfunction, so director John Erick Dowdle (“Quarantine”) hides most of the scary action behind a black screen, forcing moviegoers to experience the horror with their ears until the lights come back on. It’s mostly just a bunch of bumping, screaming and grunting, interrupted now and then with an occasional flash of light. Simple, but effective. You will never know who dies until the lights come back and they're dead...

Everyone is a supect in the elevator. You don't really know who is behind the murders, who is the Devil in disguise. This simple fact is good enough to draw you into the story, watching for anything and everything that can give it away. The person you suspect the most might be the next person who dies, making you doubt yourself over and over again. The plot twist in the end was unexpected and spooky...

There really aren’t any egregious acting issues in the movie. Each actor and actress pulls their weight, though no one stands out. But the passable performances mix nicely with an ominous soundtrack of strings and bass instruments and an interesting plot with decent enough execution — a package that delivers an hour and a half of thrills.

This movie is a definite must-watch on anyone's list. Iven and I were hanging on the edge of our seats throughout the entire movie. Our popcorn and waffles just lay there, forgotten. It was just that good!

Mid Week Slump

I'm alive!!!!!

I lived through Psych exam!!! Whooooot!!!!

Not bad with only an hours worth of study.

My Biology today was, of course, perfection as usual. Even better if you put in that I only had half an hours worth of study. Right before the exam too!

Last minute study works!!

And I would like to say this again....

~~ I am too good for school ~~ Muahahahhahahahhaah

On to more important matters

The latest Harry Potter Trailer premiered yesterday. It so COOL!!!! You get to see the 7 Potters!!

Exam Blues All Over Again, And It's Not Even The Finals!

Hello readers,

The reason I'm writing is cause I need a distraction from one of the worst torture man has ever invented

No, it's not Justin Bieber's appearence in CSI
(Though it ranks a close second.)

Once again, it's the exams. My Trial exam. I heard the SPM students are also sitting for theirs soon. Heck, misery loves company,

Damn

Day 1 is over, Thank You Lord, but that means there's still 4 fucking days of torture left...

Tomorrow is English so I can slack for a while but on Wednesday there's Psychology....... It would be a miracle if I even scrape a pass in that awful forsaken subject with all that gawdawful meaningless dribble, it makes me look forward to Maths, the last subject on Friday......

OH, what I would give for a break. I have a chocolate craving at the mo.

I need 1 000 000 ccs of chocolate. STAT!!

Did I mention that my exams start at 7 freakin' a.m.!!! Yeah, they do.... Apparently SAM students all over the world have to sit for the exam at the same time. So, while it's a comfortable 9.00am for those down under, we have to get up at the crack of dawn in order to beat the jam in order to arrive at the right time!!!!

I totally feel like Calvin now....

Oh, exams, you rob me my freedom, my leisure time and now you rob me of my beauty sleep.

I loathe thee, thou wimpled lily-livered malt-worm! Hence, horrible villain, I'll spurn thine eyes like balls before me; I'll unhair thy head, Thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and stew'd'in brine, smarting in lingering pickle.

Yes, I truly believe I'm too smart for school.

Exams, you are killing me, my intelligence and my IQ.

Write Like A Shmeyer Day

It's been a while since my last Anti-Twilight post. I guess I seem to have matured and stop beating it to death.

Wait.

NAH!!!!!!

Everyone knows the writing in Twilight is crap. Well, actually it's crappier than crap.

If crap had a kid and the kid had a pet and the pet's kid had a pet, that would be Twilight.
(Ice Age reference!! Whoot!!!)

LOL

Anyway, a bunch of sane people who are tired of the fails in Twatlight have banded together and oppose SMeyer.

In Forks, Washington (you know, the town Bella constantly mocks), September 13th is Shmeyer Day. Why the heck they are celebrating being treated like bunch of rednecks by the main character is beyond my understanding. Unless it's to burn a Shmeyer effigy, that I would like to see :)

Burn shmeyer, BURN!!

Back to the point, us sane people who are tired of all things Twishit, will be celebrating something else on September 13th. *Drum roll* Write like a Shmeyer Day!!!!

Here's the link to the Facebook Page

Created by "No, Twilight is Not Literature, or Quality Entertainment" admin Caitlin Brice, it's the day where you throw all the rules of grammar out the window and write as badly as a four-year-old on a candy high. If you have read Twilote then you should be able to know what to do, but if you haven't then I'll give you a hint: have the vocabulary of an 11-year-old, use big words in the wrong context, use redundency and use, a, lot, of, comas, in, a, sentence.

Here's an example I've been working on.

I saw him running towards me, his feet pounding the ground so loud and ferociously, like a baseball player, pounding a baseball ball. But I couldn't move. I was vacillating to possibilities that he would trip. But he isn't as clumsy, as I am. I stood my ground, my stomach was unsettling -- doing backflips and going head over heels as he came closer and closer. My marble Adonis was suddenly in front of me, his eyes were like melted ocher under the sunlight, and his lashes curled like it has just been permed. I swooned at his awesome breath, which smelled like cinnamon, the good kind. "Stephenie," he muttered. "No," I murmured, "it's Bella, my sweet asparagus," "Why?" He muttered back, glaring at me with those golden eyes intensely. "If others knew that I was writing about my wet dreams then I would never sell another book," I stummered, as I caught sight at his glorious fingernails and my heart stopped beating and was still for a second before it resumed it's constant spluttering.

Ouch.

That hurt my brain.

A. Lot.

To end my blog today, I'll post some Anti-Shmeyer :) Enjoy!

Kill her Light! KILL HER!!!

Wish it was banned everywhere else too...

I'll have Firewhiskey!

The Lambert is Coming!!!

*Calms Down*

Adam Lambert!!

I have just been informed that the Glamor Rock God, Adam Lambert will be making a stop here in Kuala Lumpur as part of is 3 part Asia tour!!!!!

If you don't know who he is then you either have been living under a rock for the past couple of years or are a complete moron like my mum who had the audacity to say "Who is Adam Lambert?" Grrrrrrr... Adam Lambert is one of the most awesome entertainer this century. Rising to fame during American Idol, he became the first runner-up behind Kris Allen.

Adam and 1st place Kris Allen

His first album, For Your Entertainment was a complete sucess!!!!

His Malaysian leg of his tour will be in Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil on Oct 14!!

“I hope the audience will be able to escape for a few hours and fall into a world full of glam, drama and excitement,” said Lambert in a media release for his upcoming Asian tour.

AMA Performance

As this is the San Diego-raised Lambert’s first tour of this region, fans can expect an audio and visual spectacular, both theatrical and atmospheric.

On the cover of Rolling Stone

The Asian leg of the Glam Nation Tour in October will only include stops in Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Manila in South-East Asia. Ticket details will be announced soon.

I can't wait!!!!

P.p.s. No Offence to any singaporeans. I did that caused it made me look like a bitch XD And cause I was high

A song I wrote: On My Own

Yo, Ramblings readers!

I decided to dabble in song writing :) I wrote all this last month but kept pushing it back due to time constraints and other topics.

I've got both the lyrics and music worked out but being a total music n00b, I cannot pen down the sheet music .

Ah, well. Enjoy!!

(A/N Each section contains 2 paragraphs, ex, 2 paragraphs of chorus, 2 paragraphs of bridge, etc)

______________________________________________________________________

Was it me?
Did I push you away?
What did I do to make you think,
That it’s ok to desert me?

Could it be?
That you don’t want me anymore,
And you just walked right out the door,
And left me crying behind you.

[Chorus]
You said you will always be there with me,
You said that you would go through hell for me,
Well, you lied.

I don’t know you anymore,
Now I don’t want anything to do with you,
I’d rather go through life alone…
Than with you.

Where were you, when I called for you?
Where were you, when I cried for you?
I can’t believe how you can be,
So selfish toward me.

You left me behind in the cold,
To fend for myself.
To be a forgotten child,
To never be able to look you in the eye.

(Repeat chorus)

[Bridge]
When I’ve lost all my battles,
When I am down with my weakness.
I will be on my own,
You will never be there for me.

When I’m feeling inconsolable,
When I need an arm around me.
I will be on my own,
You won’t be there for me.

I’m on my own,
On my own,
On my own.
You won’t be there for me.

(Repeat chorus)

On my own,
I’m on my own,
You won’t be there for me,
On my own.

(c) Nicole Wong, Ramblings

Whatcha think? :) It's a little emo I know but I got this inspiration when reading Street Boys by Lorenzo Carcattera. I wondered how would those children felt being abandoned by their parents in a time of such great need. But then I couldn't stop myself from inserting a little of my rebelious streak :P


However, this is my own interpretation. The book isn't like that (If it were, I wouldn't read it XP). The boys fight back and kill several grown ups.

Yeah, I'm sadistic

Look out for my next song, I'm in the middle of writing it. The title: A Dirty Mind Is A Bad Thing To Waste :X

5S2009 Reunion

Last Saturday, 14 former classmates gathered in Shabu One at Lot 10 to celebrate their class reunion.

Wow, I sound so formal up there XD Need a better intro..... Oh! How about...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, 14 people in their late teens went on a journey across the galaxy in search of...... Shabu One Restaurant.........

Eh, no. Too Star Wars-y

Hmmm..... How about:

Last Saturday, a bunch of us Ex-Connaughtions gathered in Shabu One for a reunion. We had joy, we had fun, we had lotsa, lotsa food!!






(Better)






As you can see from my 3 introductions, I'm pretty bored right now. I'm still fantasizing about prawns, honey chicken wings, durian ice cream and semi-cooked beef. MMMmmmmm

(A/N OK I've not only been bored, T've been busy and procrastinating too ^^. I'm only human!)

In Shabu One, steamboat was the main dish. However, they had some food already prepared for those (me!) who are too lazy to wait for the steamboat to cook.....

Honey Barbecued Chicken Wing..... Delicious.....

Crab . First thing to cook, last thing to eat.

Shabu One Signature Sauce.

King sauce, sesame oil, parsley, spring onion and quail egg

Because we had so many people, we had to split between 2 tables

One table

Other table.

Notice tha sausage in Seng Heng's chopstick. Me and Keng Lim had fun with it hehhehehee. You guys know how some food will expand when boiled in water. Well, I said that was Seng's long lost "weiner" expanded 10x ^^

Sam drinking red bean soup with a ladle. He finished with 2 ladle fulls ><

The aftermath. Alice looks so stuffed!

Group picture!

Too Much

Egads!!! Haven't blogged in a while!! I have been so freakin busy! This week i have to submit an assignment and have a Math Exam!!! I started the assignment 2 days before the submission date and started studying for maths at the same time........ Damn, I got 4 hours of sleep yesterday.......

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh <--- That was my face falling on the keyboard (I have a very sharp nose).

At least those two are done with but next week...... NEXT WEEK!!!! Chemistry on Monday, Maths DI on Tues and Weds, Biology on Friday!!!! T.T And I haven't started studying yet.

I don't think I have enough time to study...... Saturday is my class reunion and Sunday is my relax and do nothing day...... I am so lazy........

Lucky Friday 13th

I knew IT!!!

Friday 13th is one of the luckiest day in the world! For me at least :)

The day started nice enoug. Since the teacher already finished the syllabus, i had first period off. Which means I can sleep longer and have a decent breakfast for once. Yay!!!!

And the best part, class ended 2 hours earlier too!!!

Because of that, I had lunch with dad and mum. They asked me to choose a place for lunch.....
Hehehe...

I have always wanted to go to this place Souled Out ever since a friend mentioned it to me a few months back. Only catch, $$$. So naturally, I suggested there......

The interior was cozy

Menu

Top to bottom: Beef Noodle, Nasi Lemak and Fettuccine Carbonara

Lava Cake

Habis!!!

This was the peak of my luckiness (Is that even a word?? :P)

That night, i got slightly luckier, my mum's usual inedible porridge was actually good for once. (But then she got me by making me teach her how to make a graph on excel. Took 30 mins to get her to understand that you need to make a table first.......)

And last but not least, daddy chose this day to wear his pink office shirt.... Yeah....... And his new Blackberry wall paper was, get this, a blue butterfly with a PINK cherry. YEAH........ I had a LOT to talk about during lunch.......

Btw, Fettuccine Carbonara at Souled Out, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
