Long weekend....

It is now officially over 26 hours without sleep...Mr Jew asked me..."Apa lagi masalah ko ni belum mau p tidur..?"..I replied "Kenapa la...cuti juga ba bisuk..ha.ha.." Yesterday, when I woke up, it was already nearing 11pm after a short nap from 8pm something earlier that evening...as expected, I couldn't sleep (not sleepy) anymore and decided to stay up then went to work that morning at around 5:25am from home...well, pekerja buruh kasar mimang masuk kerja awal ba...I was on Australian shift which starts at 6am (9am for Oz)..in the office..I was busy managing another session of interview later that evening..also, I trained my colleague in some areas of our software that she couldn't understand or familiar with...

I'm on 2 days annual leave (Thu and Fri)...still I have a balance of 6 days holiday..I'm left with November to fully utilize my holiday and I can't think of any days or dates at the moment..I will have another 2 days leave at the end of November and once December comes..I don't think I will have anymore option in December as I will be on leave again from 22nd onwards...I heard that my annual leave will be increased to 28 days later next year...that's next year story pula...uhu..

So..this Friday (evening), I will have a long journey to Key Hell with my housemate/s..Mr Jew and most probably Mr Joel as well (if he managed to complete his unsettling works) We are going to have a small bash party (venue has not been clarified)..then a small reunion BBQ party the day after at one of my friend's house (Mr Brandon)...planned to go home on Sunday and according to Mr Jew, we will have to go to Lumut, Perak before heading home to Penang Island...PAKU has been invited to perform in an event meant for TLDM..betul kah tu Mr Jew...that will be a long drive from Key Hell to Lumut then Penang...additional passengers on Friday would be 2 crates of beer...I don't know what to expect at this party but as usual...any party is always fun if there's beer..haha..at the end of the journey, it's predictable that I will be tired and resting...huhu..I will have to kumpul enough energy these 2 days la ni....haha..

Musics and Lyrics

It happened so sudden that I started to look for video clips of my favourite songs..or perhaps I should call this a music fest month...there have 2 previous posts so far talking about music and this is just another shit that's going to make you boring..especially to those who is not into rock/slow rock kinda genre..hehe..sorry ah but that could be due to the era you're born...I was born and grew up in this era so it is no surprise for me to love these kind of musics...belum kasi masuk lagu-lagu melayu lagi..hehe...sometimes music represents your feeling....huhu..also, you don't have to understand the lyrics or language to love and enjoy musics...

Enough with the crap..these are 2 of my favourite songs (I remember you and Patience)..2 of my favourite bands (Skid Row and Gn'R)...2 of my favourite vocalists (Sebastian Bach and Axl Rose)..Enjoy! Well, you can actually view more of these at youtube.com...

Adding to the crappy feeling, this is another song that's meant a lot to me..hehe.....I don't really care who sang it (someone did though), as long as it sounds nice to me...so ejek la ba..ni la mungkin sebab sia buli mimpi spice girl kan..haha..

* I'm thinking of removing the "Designated Songs Collection" in near time soon and probably other designated fields as well...

Chinese Democracy - US$15 million album

Finally, after decade of waiting…we are now given the official release date of Nov 23rd, 2008 to the most (x100) anticipated album!!!!

The album itself is the most expensive album…longest album ever made in the world!!!!

Oct 22, 2008…when the song “Chinese Democracy” was released on the satellite radio, within a day..it made a huge smash to listeners! It was said to be played double the amount of the current #1 song on the Billboard..

The break-up of the greatest rock band in the world is not something easy for a die-hard fan like me to swallow…it began when W. Axl Rose unilaterally rejected several songs composed by Slash…then to find, Axl Rose had hired a replacement guitarist without informing the rest of band..not to mention about Axl Rose unpredictable day-to-day whims...

Many believe that…Axl Rose was the man to blame especially he was the man who have demanded to have more of the rightful ownership of Gn'R label...according to him..Gn'R is his creation…I would not care who created Gn'R but I do believe in one thing…Gn'R will never be big if it wasn’t Axl Rose...he is the sole attraction of the band..while slash is just a co-attraction...there’s nothing special to slash other than his guitar gimmicks and skills…if he’s that great he should be able to make and accomplish his own project..let’s take his single project of Slash Snake-pit…how the hell it went?

After the big break-up…Gn'R is still receiving lots of invitation and has been tearing every stadium and night club with their new line up….that’s how great this band is…seriously speaking, Axl Rose is one hell of a vocalist…I couldn’t find any better rock singer that could outclass him on stage…up to these days..I’m still looking for any VCD/DVD of GnR’s concert at Coliseum L.A 1989…the one I really wanted to see is the footage where he ran 400m around the stadium track whilst singing…according to fans and management, he wasn’t losing any of his stamina..that was when Gn'R made it big…no other vocalist that could run and sing at once…not 20m run but 400m around the track and got back to the stage still running during the whole concert...so far, I’ve seen the footage of him fell off the stage and continued singing as if nothing had happened…watched several footage of him swearing his own fans and cancelled many road show due some mother-fuckers…that was how outrageous he was in those days....

As to why he had decided to call the album Chinese Democracy, the one constant fact about the project throughout all the chaos, Rose was quoted: “Well, there’s a lot of Chinese democracy movements, and it’s something that there’s a lot of talk about, and it’s something that will be nice to see. It could also just be like an ironic statement. I don’t know, I just like the sound of it.”

I’m just excited as I am when I first watched their concert on a VCD..I think it was 14 years back in 1994 at one of my friend's house...since then I have been a fan to this band..well it was all due to Axl Rose..looking forward to *tut* the album...hehe..unless some one buys the original copy as a belated birthday present..hehe..

If you're a fan, copy and paste this into the comment box..cheers!

A bonus..here is one of my earliest-favourite song from Gn'R earliest-album "Lies"..it was a controversial song written by Axl Rose..there were actually 3 versions of this song though...if you never heard or knew, Don't Cry has 2 versions....

You are (Kimi Ga Iru)

Whilst watching my favourite anime Initial D, I remembered that I ripped this part of the anime years ago from the VCD..well, you can actually search it through YouTube.Com if you'd like to...I just love the song since I first heard it..it has a very good melody...melodrama..haha..I actually watched all the 4 Stages of Initial D I have....wowo...lain kali jangan kasi mula..haha...

In case you'd like to have the whole version of the song, here is the link to >>Download<< (single right click and select "Save Link As" on the link to download)

In case you'd like to try to have a go with the song's lyric with English translation..you can view through YouTube.Com >>Here<<

A gloommy day...

Sometimes, feeling empty is so disturbing...we tend to ignore or deny that we have a missing slot in our life that needing fulfillment…however, ignorance is still becoming the common practice and that eventually help to heal the emptiness…how exactly we define emptiness in our life…does that means we lack of or missing something in our life? Would you feel empty due to money…how about happiness…and what say you about love…or being loved…perhaps it‘s just a game of life that we have to endure in our daily life…or it’s just a cycle of life we would need to go through from time to time...I could say…this is that feeling that I’m going through at the moment...as some of my fellow bloggers were saying...I need a girlfriend...I need to get married...well, to be honest (wow…I’m actually telling you this..huhu) I could be missing the feeling to love and be loved…I felt the love from my dearest friends…could it be that I need more than that…am I actually being demanding to have something that I have missed for quite sometimes? There’s truth from what they were saying…I may need to start to have the feeling to love again and be loved in return..sigh..the more I try not to think about it the more I think about it and frustrated I am by not knowing..huhu..

Yesterday, I was reading this interesting entry from my fellow blogger XigorX...and I was really interested to one of his remarks as quoted below…

“Why does your heart physically hurt and you feel like you can’t breathe after Love is lost? I believe it is because of this build-up and over accumulation of Love that has nowhere to go anymore…no direction or purpose…left to bounce around aimlessly in the hole left in your soul...”

I would say...he had it nicely written and well explained….we human can have many ways of understanding the subjectively love in our daily life…be it your wife/husband and your child if you’re married…your girl/boy-friend if you’re in a relationship…your pets (whatever your pets are…) and not to forget the love towards our friends no matter what colour, races and religions they are….also towards your family (whatever relationships…parents, siblings and etc..) each of these may have differences accordingly per individual and I’m sure we knew that they have priorities tagged with them, which should go first and which should come after…don’t get me wrong here and I’m sure we already knew how it works…you wouldn’t put your love towards your pet over your family, would you?

Having to go through this feeling today…I’m as fragile as any other normal human being...tried to ignore and managed to get rid of it for couple of hours…I woke up quite early (around 8am) although I slept at around 5:30am after watching my favourite anime of all time (Initial D) since my arrival from work at past 1am…waking up early in the morning is common to me but to wake up with the feeling or needing someone besides you is something I would try to avoid for many times…I hadn’t dreamt of anything interesting but letting my mind to begin wondering and wandering the memory lane about that something is quite distracting…I then decided to clean my room…yet my mind was thinking of that something and I couldn’t get it off…I felt the revival when I started to sweat (I hadn’t sweat for quite sometimes when cleaning my room..I actually cleaned almost anything that I can in my room including washing the curtains) once I had my shower…there it was again...I continued watching my anime until I fell asleep (evening at around 4pm)…I had a very weird dream...I dreamt of Mr Jew, Mr Joel, Spice Girl, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Axl Rose with the original Guns’ members, my Product Delivery Manager (I've never met him or a glance of his picture), that something a.k.a someone and some others that I can’t really remember their names….it was a very weird dream…they were all in my house as if we were going to have a party…the funny thing was I even dreamt of Arnorld flirting with the Spice Girls in the swimming pool with a white underwear…well I don’t have to describe the ladies, do I? The story began when each of these casts came into my house (in the dream I’m actually living with that someone..) introducing themselves...the next thing I remember, I was chatting and singing with the GnR band whilst looking at Slash’s guitar…Arnold with the ladies in the swimming pool.. I had a romantic candle light dinner with that someone accompanied by numbers of slow rock songs from GnR...Wahaha…I can’t recall where were Mr Jew, Mr Joel and the Manager after their arrival…teda beer tapi di mana kamu ah...haha..

Well, that was just a dream yet very interesting one to remember…especially the existence of my Product Delivery Manager…haha..I've just came back from a quick hang out (watched the MU match) with my buddy from KL...he told me that he’s planning to get engaged later next year…we chatted about his 1 week training trip to Paris earlier this month and enjoying the match which ended with a draw..huhu...I’m quite happy (or relief) to get some sort of rescue info from that something...I was actually hoping for that kind of info since earlier this morning but I was the one who advised not to do so….for some reason that’s the right thing to do…I'm going to continue with my anime..really hard to stop once started..I'm planning not to consume beer this weekend..hehe

May you guys had a great long weekend (Happy Diwali)…holiday and rest…Cheers!
