Sobs...

I didn't go to the BSB Concert!!!!! WAAAAAAAAA~~~So sad~~ I feel so guily le...I mean, BSB is like the only musical interest I've ever had!! And they came to Malaysia!!! It was the perfect chance!! But I didn't go coz no one wanted to go with me!! When can I ever get to see them!!?? Kevin's already out, how would I know when Brian's gonna be out?? The whole band might retire next year or something, maybe this is their last tour!! What to do la!!?? Takkan migrate to California and serbu their house? I'm not that crazy, okay? But if I wanna serbu also serbu Brian's house only la! He's the only reason I like BSB. I used to go crazy over Nick, but he wasn't much of a great singer as Brian is. I wanna see Brian Littrell and The Boys!!(but mostly Brian! ;P) Any bright ideas that doesn't involve illegal activities or breaking moral values?

Zero the Hero!!??

Before I start writing what I want to write, Sakyou-dono, I know you sure say that I copy you review bout anime but I have to comment bout Code Geass. You'll see why when you watch it.

Okies, Code Geass is bout the kingdom of Brittania who took over Japan years ago with robots called Knightmares. Thus, the Japan is renamed as 'Area 11' and Japanese as 'Elevens' and their freedom were taken away. Many resistant groups still lives among the 'Elevens', waiting for a chance to attack the Brittanian army. Meanwhile, the story also revolves around a Brittanian prince, Lelouch Vi Brittania who seeks revenge on the terrorists who murdered his mother and crippled his sister. Apart from that, Lelouch also vowed to destroy the Brittanian empire due to his father, the emperor's reluctance to find out the truth about Queen Marrianne's death. Years later, Lelouch encounters a girl named C.C. who gave him the power of Geass (a power to control and command other people).

Now, for my view on the anime. To me, the main protagonist of the story is the emperor because without him, the Japanese wouldn't suffer and Lelouch wouldn't seek revenge and become Zero (the main enemy of the Brittanian army). Zero wouldn't cause havoc among the citezens and he also wouldn't have hurt so many people around him! Although Geass isn't considered a person, I think that it is the main reason for driving Lelouch and other people so crazy! Man, you would see what I mean when you watch episode 22 of the anime. The crazy thing bout this whole anime is that, eventhough Zero brought so many sadness and suffering, the Japanese call him a 'symbol of hope' and 'messiah' just because he's the #1 enemy of Brittania! It's not like he will bring back Japan from the old days! The ending is super unexpected and super sad!! Sakyou-dono, you might wanna return the anime to wherever you bought it coz the last 2 episodes hilang. It drove me nuts, so I watched the ending on You Tube.

(the guy at the front is Lelouch and the guy at the back is Suzaku, his best friend and also his greatest enemy coz he's an honourary Brittanian knight!)

Finally, I would give a rating for this anime a 7/10. I wanted to give it a 6/10 only coz throughout the anime, they kept repeating the same old stuff and it got boring. But, the ending made me raise it by a point. My final comment is to Sakyou-dono too. Weii...remove Lelouch from your list of favourite anime characters la. He's so cold-hearted and even if he's very 'leng chai' and 'yeng', he has no feelings!!! You would agree with me after you watch the anime.^^

ABC: I can see dead people...

Okies...since u guys all do a lot of anime review, I'm gonna start a book club. I haven't thought of a name yet, so for now, I'm gonna name my book club simply as Audrey's Book Club.The first teen novel I've ever read is The Mediator by Meg Cabot, writing as Jenny Carroll. So, it's totally natural that the first book review I'm gonna do is bout this book.

Basically, this book is bout Susannah Simon who realized that she's a mediator(a person who sees dead people) when she was just two. Kinda like Cole Sear from The Sixth Sense played by Haley Joel Osment. Anyway, Suze is this tough girl who doesn't give a shit about the ghosts she sees. Oftenly, she ends up pounding them up because they constantly bother her bout things they wanna do before they move on to the next world. You might think that ghosts are invisible and you can't touch them, but in this story, the mediators can touch them and do whatever they like to them. Anyway, when she turned 16, she and her mom moved to California to live with her mom's new husband (oh, I forgot to mention that Suze's dad is dead and she still constantly contacts with him). When she arrived at her room, she was pretty disturbed to find a ghost sitting on her window seat. And to make matters worse, it's not just any ghost, it's a he, a very hot he. From that moment on, the book progresses to talk bout Suze's way of adjusting herself to the new environment (more ghosts) and her falling in love with Jesse (the hunky ghost).

Overall, I give a rating for this book a 7/10 because of the creative plot and also the comedy in the story. However, the story is just way to long (6 books!) and the last 2 books just sucks. Besides, Meg Cabot's way of writing is way too teen and boring...

The Boys are back in Malaysia!!!

Even if you've heard this before, on the radio, internet or from a friend, I'm still gonna say it again...THE BACKSTREET BOYS are having a concert in Sunway Lagoon on the 27th February 2008!!! When I heard it from a friend, I knew that this is the concert I was waiting for. My best bud and I are like the ultimate fans of the boys, at least, maybe in Daerah Hulu Langat. They had a world tour last two years, but the concert was in Singapore and we jokingly thought of going to Singapore just to watch them. And that was the year we had PMR. We also imagined what would it be like if one of our discipline teachers, Puan Niza happened to be another ultimate fan of the boys. We imagined her jumping up and down like a crazy groupie when we invited her to go to the concert together. LOL! That would be so weird!

Anyway, this year we have to go!!(We must, Sakyou-dono). But there seems to be some problem with the ticket and transportation. My bro doesn't wanna go coz his gf not going and he's totally not a fan of the boys. Arrgghh...I dun care, I must go to concert no matter what, even if I have to take the bus from Cheras to Sunway! (We promised each other, Sakyou, that we're gonna go when they're having it in Malaysia. I know that Kevin's not in the band anymore...but there's still AJ, right?) We just have to go!!! @~@

Z...zz...zzz...

God forbid, I swear I'm gonna pass out soon! I'm sooo tired now. My head feels like it weighs a ton! I only slept like, 3 hours And it isn't coz I was on the computer(like my bro is). I was staying up the whole night till 2.30 a.m doing Maths and woke up at 5a.m again to continue. I stacked all of my Maths homework and finally do it when the deadline came I know, this is very unexpected of an alpha student. But I love doing that, maybe coz I follow the rule, 'Play first, Work later'. Well, it's not gonna happen again, coz my head hurts from cramming all of the info at once. I swear(again) that I saw the number -2 written on the tar road while walking back from school. My friend thinks I'm insane.

My best bud, 'Lala' can sleep for at least 10 hours a day and when she really go for the maximum, 12 hours! Man, when she said her hobby was sleeping, she wasn't kidding! How can she get 10-12 hours of sleep when I can only get 4-6 hours? I thought bout that and I think it's coz she don't go out much, watch anime/tv much or go online. She's like this virgin in a modern world! She should go out more to see the outside world coz we're breaking out of high school next year! It's kinda scary, really. Going out there unprotected by the vulnerable school system anymore. Anyway, she was teased mercilessly by Thavin today when we were on duty at the front gate. Thavin said that if she slept 12 hours a day, that means she lost half of the day and this means she lost half of her life already! LOL! 'Lala' should really try hard to stay up late or her youth would be used up soon. Besides, if she really wants to be a neurologist, she must learn to stay up real late.

p/s: Kids out there, don't try staying up late like me, you'll regret it after taking a look at all those bags under your eyes and think about the wrinkles!!

I'm FREE!!!

I've been thinking for a long long time now and I've finally decided to drop Mr. S's tuition classes. It's such a relief to my schedule. Now I can sleep till 1 p.m on weekends!!

I wasn't sure before coz he's way of teaching did help me with my studies. But I know that I can still get A1 for my SPM without his help. I mean, if Aki~chan can do it, why can't I? But it's gonna need loads of hard work...I know.

Mr. S demand a lot from his students and I went through with it for a while(almost 9 months) but then I realize that it takes a lot out of my time. He's got the talent for teaching...if only he uses his powers for good instead of evil. LOL! (if your reading this, Mr. S, I'm just joking.) How can I take anymore of his tuition lessons that last for 5 hrs on Sundays and 3 hrs on Thursdays!? Besides, he waste a lot of time talking crap like, calling people names. He generally does a lot of insults on students that he don't dub worthy of his class. He even go to a level of calling people shit. How mature, eh?

Plus, he kept telling us he would get scholarships from big dudes like, Astro...etc...If it is possible, my sis would've gotten one already! He told her to join this bogus competition few years back and she got #2 but not a reply since then. I'm sorry if this seems like me backstabbing him but it's the truth. I'm not saying you shouldn't go to his classes anymore, but just don't hang around his every word like my best friend is doing now. She follows what he says everytime and never misses any class. She even took more subjects in SPM just because he asked her to. All in all, memang Mr. S's #1 fan. I tried to tell her this, but she said it's gonna be fine and she's not like that. Wake up and smell the roses, gurl!!



Well, I'm happy to tell you that the best thing to me quitting is that I can go back to church again!! I was afraid to do so coz of my parents before and coz this tuition class is taking up most of my time. But it's more of the former reason. But now, I don't give a damn to what my parents say anymore. (please, don't mind the language) I would do what I have to do and want to do more than anything...go back to church and be with the House of God. I am so glad!! ^^

American Idol!!

American Idol is officially my favourite show on the planet! Not just because of Simon Cowell, though, he is fun to watch as he can be mean and nice at the same time. Like when he tell auditioners that 'u ain't got it' he would probably say something like this: "Sweetheart, that just reminded of the nightmare I had last night." Can you believe him?

Anyway, I just came to LOVE American Idol like the rest of any living American citizen because of David Archuleta. Yes, he's cute, he's young, he's likeable and he's got the voice! Can you get any better than that? He's especially hot among the ladies.You should really go visit http://www.americanidol.com/ cos the comments on David'll drive you crazy! Go see the photos section where all of the photos of the Top 24 are up. You'll soon realize that, photos with David on it(even a lil glimpse) would have at least 2 pages of comments where girls would just scream something like, "David A., I love you!" or, "David, marry me!!" Not that I'm one of those girls or anything. I mean, he's just 17, man! Give him a break! God knows what them girls would do to him when he's alone.

David kinda reminds me of Sanjaya Malakar from last season. Not that they look alike or anything, just that they're both popular with the voters. In fact, they're a lot more different than same. Sanjaya is charming but not a good singer while David is naive and cute at the same time AND a real good singer! It's kinda crazy what voters would do just to see their fav idol on stage(even if they can't sing). And lemme tell you this, what the voters did bout Sanjaya is totally nuts! They should take on Simon's side, he's the music genius! He nearly quit his job because of this. If Simon quitted, the ratings'll drop for sure. Anyway, David A. is The American Idol for season 7 for sure! Apart from the fact that 90% of the voters are rooting for David and that the judges love him, he's also very likeable among the contestants. Need I say more?

EDC Scandal!!

I'm sure most of you guys knew bout the scandal. I just read this article from Shanghaiist and I quote:

"The Vancouver Sun, in its report of the scandal, embarrassed itself by mistakenly inserting the picture of Wang Lee-Hom (王力宏) instead of Edison Chen and has since apologised for the boo-boo"

I mean, Lee Hom and Ed Chen is so different! One is soooo hot and the other is err...not. And for the record, Lee Home is the hot one! Haizz...Lee Hom's image tercemar!

So much has happened since this scandal. Cecilia Cheung got a seperation from Nicholas Tse, Bobo Chan's marriage was canceled and Gillian Chung attempted suicide! Which reminds me, why are most of his...ehem, scandal partners have got surnames starting with the letter C? That's so weird...

Apparently. the mystery man who posted all of Ed's pix on the internet called himself Kira! You know, Kira from Death Note? I wonder if he has got a death note...if he does, I'm sure he wrote something like this on it;

"Edison Chen Kwoon Hei: die of suicide on, ??/??/????. Cause of death, publicly humiliated with scandal photos of himself with famous Hong Kong actresses."

I still remember watching a list of top Asian celebrities on E! last year and EDC was one of them. In fact, he was beside Rain, yes, The Rain! He had a real good chance in breaking into Hollywood but he ruined it. Even Jackie Chan was disturbed by this cause when he was asked bout his comments on Ed's scandal with Vincy Yeung, he seemed uncomfortable. This scandal had even caught the attention of CNN! CNN! Can you believe it!? Don't they have better things to do? Like, report on famine in Africa of something... Anyway, here's what they said;

"Over here in America, when an actor tapes himself screwing the biggest celebrities in the country, every guy he meets on the street will give him a jumping high-five and every girl he filmed will get even more movie deals and record contracts."

CNN is so pro-American government. I mean, they dish out bout some Hong Kong celebrity's scandal but not President Bush's ongoing domination on other countries? I mean, come on man, is that any fair at all? I'll let you be the judge...

Guilt & Dissapointment

Have you ever felt dissapointment and guilt at the same time? I have...in fact, I'm feeling just that, right now. I just hate myself for getting nervous all over competiting with Yu Hua in badminton today. I actually CAN play better than I did today. It's just that I get nervous real fast, in front of other people and blush. Stupid, huh? I mean, I look like a fool out there! Lets just say that the scores are not pretty. I just felt kinda dissapointed that they killed us out there and I had wasted all that time training. It's not like I had high hopes we would win, but I kinda had a little spark of hope to at least win the first set.

The guilt comes in when I talked bad about my badminton partner to my other friends today. I actually said that she didn't back me up when the shuttlecock comes, that's why we lost. There is some truth to it, but the main reason is because I was nervous and I couldn't hit the ball high. Maybe it's because of the pressure my partner sometimes put me through that makes it easier to blame the lost to her. She always forces me to do things I don't feel like doing like, go tuition classes that last for 5 hours, twice a week. I needed a break from her. I've known her for 10 years now but I still feel like I don't know her, like she's some kinda stranger. We have absolutely nothing in common, at least, I don't think we do.

I sometimes feel like killing myself out of my hectic schedule. I should really ease up on the activities because I'm really really tired, out of...everything, really. The only days I can relax are on Tuesdays and Saturdays and that's not even a confirmation yet. No more anime, tv, novels and anything else that alters my mind from what really matters, listening to God's words. I always think that God doesn't answer my prayers and He don't talk to me at all. But he does, it's just that I'm too busy with other things to listen to Him. I feel awful for doing that to Him. I kept appologizing, but what use is that if I don't change? If I don't follow his ways, I'm gonna fall back and He won't wait for me ever again!!
