the guidelines of the hippie code:


“Do your own thing, wherever you have to do it and whenever you want. Drop out. Leave society as you have known it. Leave it utterly. Blow the mind of every straight person you can reach. Turn them on, if not to drugs, then to beauty, love, honesty, fun.”

i reckon it was much much more happening then……..

i shouldn’t feel this way, really…cause i didn’t do that much in office..hahaha…… anyway, i just felt tired, not physically, not so severe… so i won’t say emotionally… but just, you know the lazy plus blue blue feeling…. so i thought i would listen to goldfrapp latest album - felt mountain. they/she’s being idle in my playlist for quite some time… the last time, nay..i didn’t really listen well….just felt that it is so different from black cherry/supernature…not exactly the goldfrapp i known…

tonite.. at this moment, surrounded by friends called lazy and blue-blue … this album sounds ermm..not too bad, actually…..wouldn’t say i’m in love with it….but overall tracks are not too bad.. i suppose, or maybe i’m saying/writing this now because goldfrapp now, are in-sync with my current state and my two friends here…..inside felt mountain there are combos of blue-blue (not soul, not jazzy - both segements that i have yet to acuire taste in, yet…), moderate electro, psychedelic, ambient kind of tunes…hmm..suits my current state….wouldn’t comment all her tracks, one by one..too lazy.. too blue-blue….now… but just a few tracks…. few tracks that i like and i don’t like……

- utopia… the front part remind me of a sci-fic movie.. where the blue alien sings.. cant remember the name of the movie…staring bruce wills and the lady who star in resident evil.. i think called milla something… she has orange hair/wig in that movie.. oh ya, movie’s called the fifth element
- deer stop…. don’t like it..the cocorosie effect is too strong, too hard to swallow.. esp when they come from goldfrapp ……..
- lovely head & pilots….perfect sound for lounge – ambient kinda of setting… nice……

………….zzzZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZ…………………..

enjoy her in utopia………

一輩子的孤單
作詞:深白色 作曲:深白色 編曲:李雨寰

我想我會一直孤單 這一輩子都這麼孤單
我想我會一直孤單 這樣孤單一輩子

天空越蔚藍 越怕抬頭看 電影越圓滿 就越覺得傷感
有越多的時間 就越覺得不安 因為我總是孤單 過著孤單的日子

喜歡的人不出現 出現的人不喜歡 有的愛猶豫不決 還在想他就離開
想過要將就一點 卻發現將就更難 於是我學著樂觀 過著孤單的日子

當孤單已經變成一種習慣 習慣到我已經不再去想該怎麼辦
就算心煩意亂 就算沒有人作伴

自由和落寞之間怎麼換算 我獨自走在街上看著天空
找不到答案 我沒有答案

天空已蔚藍 我會抬頭看 電影越圓滿 就越珍惜傷感
有越多的時間 就越習慣不安 因為我總會孤單 過著孤單的日子

我想我會一直孤單

爱情傀儡
作词:袁惟仁 作曲:袁惟仁 编曲:黄铭源

别让我在每个夜里为你流泪 其实我并没有睡 想你容易让心碎
如果你想要的只是荣华富贵 何必在感情世界 留下你虚假的美

我真的好累 你要的我都学不会
为你伤悲 为你憔悴 你让我喝却不让我醉

我真的好累 却为你付出了一切
为你狂野 为你沉醉 做一个爱情的傀儡

别让我在每个夜里被你侵略 是我对你不了解 还是我不懂拒绝
如果你想要的只是风花雪月 何必在乎我是谁 又何必如此虚伪

I’m taking Japanese Language Lesson at KL Japanese Language Society of Malaysia (JLSM) which is located in Bkt Bintang (opposite HSBC). As it is a society instead of language centre, they catered for other activities to promote Japanese culture in Malaysia.

Today they have Obento Club (teaching members as well as non members how to prepare Japanese food), and we learnt how to make sushi! :P

Ok… I know it look a bit on the ugly side but my 1st time making ok ;)

We made a few types including Inari Sushi, “Sea of Four” Maki, Rolling Six Maki. Grin, I ate the Inari Sushi right after I made it… hehe

A couple of my colleagues and I went to had a great seafood buffet at Bangsar Seafood Garden Restuarant located at Jalan Ara, Bangsar Baru. Hotline: 2282 2555. They are having an extended promotion till end of the month, which unfortunately due to my procrastination, it is already end of the month for RM 38*++/pax for adult (min 2 pax) and RM 23*++/pax for children age 3-10 years. It is catered for lunch or dinner with lunch time starts from 12.00 pm to 2.30 pm last order 2.00 pm) while dinner starts at 6.00 pm to 10.30 pm with last order at 10.00 pm. There are over 100 choices of cooking style serving with crabs, tiger prawns, fish, scallops, stoong, fish fillet, beef, venison, chicken, beancurd, egg and vegetables. However to note that sharks fin soup, crabs and scallops can only be ordered once (per table yah, not per head). Also there are catch to it… that they serve according to number of pax, example if there are 9 person at the table, they will serve the dish enough for 9 person (except for “tong sui”). Of course, the other thing is that they would charged for unconsumed food according by portions.

In total we had 19 main dishes and 5 types of desserts, I did not specifically take the picture of red bean paste though, hence it is not in the picture. Oh well.. after all it is just some black paste :P We wanted to try boiled barley with foo chok as well but they did not have it at the time.

All in all, the food is good. Worth to travel to Bangsar for it. ;)

Side note: I’m a bit lazy to post the pics one by one, this Picasa2 is great this way :)

It’s a sign. I need a holiday.

1. Friends, not one but two inviting me to join them for a getaway to Siem Reap. How hard it is for me to reject the-so-tempting offer… seeing the magnificent Angkor Wat again. The sunset… the friendly people, the nice food. On that thought, we don’t see Cambodia food much here, in fact I dont recall restaurants serving Cambodia food. The one we had, are only Thai and Vietnam food.

2. Last week, a friend came over to have a short chat with me… and he was telling me that he is going off to Hanoi for a week! Vietnam… sigh…

3. Of the so many times I visited Times Bookstore Warehouse sale, I’ve never really found a travel book that is uptodate and really a bargain. But it’s a sign! I found an uptodate Lonely Planet on Laos on sale :D
The more I read, the more I feel like going…

4. I came home on time yesterday after work. After my mother finished watching her dose of Taiwan Hokkien drama on TV, I switched the channel and a travel show was on… and that specific episode, they were introducing Myanmar…
(so you see… 1st it was Cambodia, then it was Vietnam followed by Laos and now its Myanmar)

5. As I was looking for some pictures to play around with Picasa, I saw this folder of picture when I visited Bangkok. Ah… the Grand Palace, Wat Arun… I miss Bangkok :

6. On top of all that, Calv tempted me to join him over the weekend to go Penang. Ah.. the good food. Grin, I just need a holiday ok. Despite just went up north 2 weeks ago, but didnt really get to go around much, more on attending a good friend’s wedding dinner.

Despite the sign that I probably should go all the neighbouring countries - Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam. … but but.. the bottom line is… I need a holiday!! :(

Side note: I dreamt of Lee Hom the other day… good dream :P

很想打通电话给你。 问你最近还好吗。感觉有一段日子了没跟你好好聊天。好想你。
不知道是否因为日子久了,感觉没那么亲切了。

还没到两分钟的谈话,你就说,“改次再谈吧。”
很想告诉你。。。
我好想你。好希望你可以在我身边陪着我。
更希望你会说,“出来喝茶好吗?”

但,那自是我而已。都是我想太多了。你根本没把我放在心上。
我。。。算得了什么。
