Humbug by Arctic Monkeys

As I’ve promised before, I’m going to tell you about the latest Arctic Monkey’s album HUMBUG. The album consists of 10 amazing songs from Arctic Monkeys. I’ve been waiting for this one and now that I’ve got it I’m kinda addicted to it. Well I’m a huge fan of Arctic Monkeys especially Alex Turner so how could I resist listening to his voice?? Oh with his cute accent. Yes I’m melting..Hahaa ^_^ I love “My Propeller”, “Cornerstone”, “Potion Approaching”, “Crying Lightning”, “Secret Door” or simply said that I love all of it. I really love their lyrics but I think most of the lyrics were all about Alexa, which is not a bad thing but definitely not a good thing for me as I don't want to imagine her as I listen to the songs. I do love the couple but hey should we know all about Alex and Alexa? Even their sex life? Should we? Among all, I'm fucking in love with "Dance Little Liar" not just because it is awesome instrumentally but also because of the lyric itself..

here's the lyric : Dance Little Liar

I heard the truth was built to bend,
A mechanism to suspend the guilt,
Is what you will acquire,
And still you’ve got to dance little liar.

Just like those fibs to pop and fizz,
And you’ll be forced to take that awful quiz,
And you’re bound to trip,
And she’ll detect the fiction on your lips,
And dig the contradiction up.

And the clean commend the hurt,
And you can never get it spotless,
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt,
The liar takes a lot less time.

I’m sure it’s clear and plain to me,
It’s not an alibi you need just yet,
Oh no it’s something for those beads of sweat,
Yes that, will get you back to normal.

And after you have dabbed the patch,
You will grieve and then proceed to scratch,
The varnish off that newly added calmness,
So as not to raise any alarms too soon.

And the clean commend the hurt?
And you can never get it spotless,
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt.

The liar takes a lot less time,
To decide on this saunter,
Have you got itchy bones?
And in all your time alone,
Can you hack your mind being riddled with the wrong memories?

And the clean commend the hurt.
And you can never get it spotless,
When there’s dirt between the dirt.


Alex said that this album was very personal and I think it was personal to him which is why I don't get a lot of it. But hey I love all of the songs despite my confusion in their lyrics. Haaha..

My Sister's Keeper

I have watched a really good movie last night which was “My Sister’s Keeper” movie. The movie was a heavy family story and it was a very sad movie. I do not know about others but at least I think it was an extremely sad movie.

The story starts when Sara Fitzgerald and her husband diagnosed that their daughter, Kate had a cancer. To continue living Anna has to undergo certain operation which pretty much involves in getting a functioning kidney. Both her mom and dad did not match for the donor type. The doctor then suggests an alternative to create in-vitro baby in order to find a matching donor. Anna Fitzgerald (Abigail Breslin) was brought into the world to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate (Sofia Vassilieva), who suffers from acute promyelocytic leukemia. Anna is like the made-daughter to help her sick sister. She had gone through lots of pains but not as much pain as her dying sister. Because of her sister's dependency on her, Anna is unable to live the life she wants; in and out of the hospital constantly, she cannot take part in extracurricular activities such as cheerleading or soccer. When Kate turns 13 she goes into renal failure. Knowing that she will have to donate one of her kidneys to her sister, Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body. Attorney Campbell Alexander (Alec Baldwin) agrees to work for Anna pro bono. The film is interlaced with flashbacks that detail the strong relationship between Kate and Anna, as well as how Kate's illness has affected her siblings' lives. Before the result of the case is known, it is revealed that Kate had asked Anna to file for medical emancipation. Believing that she would not survive the surgery, Kate wants to die. Anna wins the case, and due to her sister's wishes does not donate her kidney. Kate later dies at the hospital. The family moves on with their lives, being changed by Kate's death, but every year on Kate's birthday they go to Montana, which was her favorite place in the world.

I cried a lot while I was watching the movie. I actually tried to put myself into their situation, into Anna’s life, Sara’s and the most important Kate’s. For me I think Kate was very unlucky to have had cancer but then she actually was extremely lucky to have had a very supportive family especially her mom. She was lucky to have had a life. What I meant by life here, she got a great family, she got a boyfriend and she had gone through the relationship which was quite a big thing even for cancer’s patient. But eventually she started to feel that it is the time for her to go as she had gone through such painful life with medicines everywhere, injections and all the other stuffs. If I were Kate I would feel the pain too. It is not that I do not want to live but I have no choice. It was a good thing to go and not continuing with the operation because the chances of successful operation are very slim. Looking through Sara’s eyes, I think if I were her I would do the same thing which is never to give up because no matter what Kate is still my daughter. However due to too much stress and strong willing not to give up, she was trying so hard that she didn’t aware of her being too fixated, paranoid, obsessed with the idea of saving Kate’s life. The point here for me is not always about saving her life but more on how to cherish and filled her short life. Sara showed unceasing support for Kate as any mom would do or could do and it was very painful and sad for her too. She gave up everything from her life, her job and her marriage in order to save Kate’s life. From Anna’s perspective, I do not think anyone in Anna’s situation would go file for medical emancipation. At least I do not think I have a heart to do so although there is a solid point there. Anna should not have been treated that way and she has the right to stand for it. I fully understood the idea of Kate asking Anna to do it for her. She just wanted to go peacefully and she did not want to see her mom all stressed out for her anymore. She is dying anyway and she knew the chances of her being cured are very slim. So why bother trying so hard to undergo the operation where the result is subtle. That is why she thinks the best thing to do was to let go and die peacefully. Overall the movie was great. The acting was great too. Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Sofia Vassilieva were all-good. It felt real and it made me cried like cartoon. You know how cartoon usually cried in an overflowing mode. However I would not recommend the movie to people who do not like sob story, who do not like life journal movie as I bet these people would not stay for a minute to watch the movie.
Not to mention for those who have read the book (The movie is adapted from a book) since they have changed the ending and the movie is quite slow for those who already knew the stories. I’ve never read the book and maybe that’s why I think it was a great movie.=]

Broken Love Song by Pete Doherty

Broken Love Song is the second single by Peter Doherty a.k.a Pete Doherty from his debut solo album “Grace/Wastelands”. I absolutely love this song and all of the songs from the album. I love "Lady Don't Fall Backwards","Arcady","Last of The English Roses" just to name a few. I really miss his voice and now that I've got his album is like a big bonus for me. ^_^
BTW,I've got Arctic Monkeys "HUMBUG" album too. I'll tell you about it later. Here's the lyric of this song:

Take a broken love song
Keep it by your side
Never be lonely
Find a place to hide

By the west way
Inside the scrubs
How long must we wait?
For they're killing us?
Killing us

Oh
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Still

Through my cell window
Hear the loft boys sing
Come on you R's
Carried on the wind

Every morning
I'll be singing
Like a caged bird who might say
John, Paul, George and Ringo
Help me pass the hours away

Free as a bird
Would I be
Another dawn creeps up on me
On me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Still

Letters from faceless haters
That'd love to
See my swinging in my cell
Oh I never saw a man
Who looked like such a wsitful eye,
As the fear f blue prisoners
Call the sky

They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Still

Influenza-like Illness

I'm not feeling well these past few days. I've got affected by the flu or to be exact I've got ILI (Influenza like Illness). Yeah h1n1 here in Malaysia has reached the pandemic level where you could easily get affected. Besides, the air isn't so clean. I'm not capable of doing everything that I've been doing like going to classes, eating properly and so on. I felt exhausted everyday and the worst part is that I need to swallow many pills 4 times a day. I'm not a big fan of medicines but I've no choice. I don't want to be weak and I really need my health back. I've missed many classes and delayed many works. I've no idea how am I suppose to bounce back. Right now I wish I were Superman. Yeah you know he could read books just by flipping the pages. If I were to have such powers I have to worry about nothing. But hell yeah I'll never be one. So I guess I have to double the efforts I have to submit all the late assignments and to catch up all the topics that have been taught in the class. Wish me luck..=]

Avatar: The Last Air Bender Movie Trailer

I'm sorry for not updating my blog..yeah..been busy!

anyway here's the trailer of Avatar's movie. For those who did not know or haven't heard of Avatar,it is an American animated TV series probably more for kids but I don't know..I love watching the series.! ^_^ When I heard that M.Night Shyamalan wanted to make the movie, I was not interested at all. Yeah, you know he could be ridiculous sometimes. Even after seeing the trailer, it still didn't hit on me. I'm unsure of how the live-action movie would be. =[

I'm a huge fan of the anime and I don't really like to see a crap movie made out of a great anime. You know when they're making movie based on great animes and games it's supposed to be good if it's not the best but sometimes they have twisted everything in a sense that the movie is a total waste. You know like Dragonball..They totally ruined the kick-ass anime. I was so disappointed with the movie. The same goes for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.

As a huge fan,I was supposed to be excited but I personally think Aang is a bit chubby and I can't imagine Dev Patel playing Prince Zuko. It's somehow weird but not to the extent that I hate him.
I'm still going to watch the movie and M.Night Shyamalan better not screwed up this movie.

First Look : Alice In Wonderland Trailer

OMG..I'm speechless for a few seconds..I was astounded by Tim Burton’s latest installment!! I’m freaking hell excited for the upcoming movie..Oh my Johnny Depp..You looked wickedly awesome as The Mad Hatter. I just can't think of anyone better for the Mad Hatter role. I’m being bias after all. xD ^-^

The teaser trailer looked awesome and as I wrote before, I have a hunch that this movie is going to be mind-blowing. Even so, I’ve read some people are quite disappointed with the first trailer as it might not be what it should or could have been. Some said the CGI is poor and all stuffs that underrate Tim Burton’s latest film. LOL. What else do they expect exactly? I don’t know but to question Tim Burton who has been so far brilliant at all his films seems to be quite dim. Still I couldn’t say more of it since I haven’t watch the film yet. Only time will tell. =]

P/s: I’m excited to see Anne Hathaway as well. (“,)

Buzzer Beat

It has been a week since my last post and I'm really sorry for not being able to update my blog. Lots of things happened recently. I had problem with my internet connection so I don't bother to update my blog. Huhu..Besides I'm on the verge of having a hectic life. You know work has been multiplied by the dozens(Lab+ Workshop reports,assignments and quizzes). -_-
I guess I’m not going to update my blog regularly.

I’ve finished watching Atashinci no Danshi and Mr. Brain. Both are very great dramas. I love the family in Atashinci no Danshi and I really love Takuya’s character in Mr. Brain.

Currently I’m watching Buzzer Beat.








I’ve been waiting for this drama since Yamapi’s in it. I adore him but not to the point that I like everything’s about him. I like his face, style, acting but I don’t really favor his music. He’s good in singing and dancing but his music genre isn’t my cup of tea. Even so, the music is great.

Talking about Buzzer Beat, I don’t really like Yamapi’s hair in it. I wish I could’ve at least pinned his hair. I don’t know why but I don’t like that kind of hairstyle. Anyway it doesn’t suit Pi at all. I don’t like Aibu Saki (Natsuki) in this drama.
Well obviously I’m in the ship for Yamaki (Yamapi + Maki) not Yamapi+Aibu even I’m slightly lean towards Muaki (Mukai + Maki). xD
At first I thought it was very sweet to see them as a couple but then changed my mind when I know Natsuki’s character.
It seems that Natsuki is like a bad woman who doesn’t really show her evil side but to portray an angelic side. It’s too bad for Naoki because he does care for her. Maybe I’m being biased since I’m a devoted Yamaki’s fan so any other woman paired with Pi is like disgust to me. But the truth is I’ve never liked a woman like Natsuki, someone who acts like an angel but actually has a very bad attitude. In her case, it might be because people around her get the wrong idea about her being kind whereas she wanted to tell people how she’s far from being angel but she doesn’t have a heart to disappoint people around her. Well it’s just my opinion xD. Haha. I could be wrong..

I like seeing Pi playing basketball since it’s one of my favorite sports(after Football) so
I’m keen to see the next episodes. Oh not to forgot that I really wanted to see Naoki with Shirakawa rather than seeing Pi brokenhearted by Natsuki. =] Yeah I was smiling at the end of the episode when Shirakawa praised Pi. xD xD

P/s: I’m waiting for Tackey and Ryo’s new drama: Orthros no irnu.

The Vampire Diaries, an upcoming TV series

Another new TV series called “The Vampire Diaries”. The Vampire Diaries is actually series of novels written by L.J Smith. The novels are very famous which is why it is being adapted into TV series and it will be premiered on September 10, 2009 on CW and CTV. I haven’t read the novels (wish I could) but I’m thrilled for the upcoming TV series. Yeah you know as always my enthusiasm for TV series is huge like a mountain perhaps. I do hope this season 1 includes 13 episodes is not going to disappoint me. I’ve always hooked onto these vampire kinds of things. Yeah you know like Twilight, True Blood, Underworld, Van Helsing and the list goes on. xD

From what I’ve read on several webs about the series, basically the series revolved around two siblings Elena and Jeremy who suffered from their parents tragic lost due to car accident. They’re trying hard to conceal their sadness and move on with their lives. However things changed when new handsome mysterious student, Stefan appeared in their school. Elena and Stefan are drawn to each other and Elena doesn’t aware of Stefan being a vampire. Stefan is like a good vampire whilst his brother is like an evil one. I also read that there are slight changes from the novels. The town is not with similar name like in the novels and Elena’s supposed to have a little sister not brother like in the series. In the series, Elena is a brown-eyed brunette compared to blue-eyed blonde in the novels. Whatever it is, I don’t care. All I care is that they’re going to have good storyline, good music and oh good acting. Haha..

After seeing the trailer, it seems to exert a pull on me because I want to know more about the vampire brothers and Elena herself. Arghh..Why I am always in this situation where I’m being exposed to vampire-human love story..It’s always romantic when the vampire’s trying to protect his human lover but it is far from being true. It’s like miraculous fantasies that are being injected to my mind. Still can’t wait for the premiere soon (It’s so far!). Hoping the series is infused with happiness, sadness, romance and everything that can keep me trying to stay following the shows. xD


Here’s the list of the cast (if that can make you interested but not me! xD):

Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert
Paul Wesley as Stefan Salvatore
Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore
Katerina Graham as Bonnie Bennett
Steven R. McQueen as Jeremy Gilbert
Sara Canning as Jenna Moyer
Zach Roerig as Matt Donovan
Candice Accola as Caroline Truitt
Michael Trevino as Tyler Lockwood
Kayla Ewell as Vicki Donova

But here's what interests me:

The executive producers are Kevin Williamson ("Dawson's Creek," "I Know What You Did Last Summer"), Julie Plec ("Kyle XY," "Wasteland"), Leslie Morgenstein ("Gossip Girl," "Privileged") and Bob Levy ("Gossip Girl," "Privileged"). Marcos Siega ("Dexter") directed the pilot.
