BLACK or WHITE?

I took my baby on a Saturday bang. Boy is that girl with you, yes we're one and the same. Now I believe in miracles, and a miracle has happened tonight. But, if you're thinkin about my baby, it doesn't matter if youre Black or White.

They print my message in the Saturday Sun. I had to tell them I ain't second to none. And I told about equality and its true either you're wrong or you're right. But, if you're thinkin about my baby, it doesn't matter if you' re Black or White.

I am tired of this devil! I am tired of this stuff! I am tired of this business! Sew when the going gets rough. I ain't scared of your brother. I aint scared of no sheets. I aint scare of nobody boy when the goin gets mean......

Protection! For gangs, clubs and nations. Causing grief in human relations. Its a turf war on a global scale. I'd rather hear both sides of the tale. See, its not about races. Just places. Faces. Where your blood comes from. Is where your space is. I've seen the bright get duller. Im not going to spend my life being a color.

Dont tell me you agree with me. When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye. But, if you're thinkin about my baby. It doesn't matter if you're Black or White.

I said if you' re thinkin of being my baby. It doesn't matter if you're Black or White.

I said if you're thinkin of being my brother. It doesn't matter if you' re Black or White.

Ooh yeah...its Black, its White.

Its tough for me to get by.

It's Black or White?

It's Black, it's White. Its tough for me to get by.

It's Black , it's White.

Finally after a long wait.....my baby!

American Idols Part 4 : Disco Night

Despite straying away from the disco dancing vibe, Allen and Lambert definitely wowed the crowd and had the best performances for the night. Unlike the other contestants, Disco Night was saved–in the most un-disco way possible. Kris Allen stole the night with his rendition of Donna Summer’s working women’s anthem She Works Hard For The Money by bringing a hip spin to it (thus, received a huge standing ovation from the AI audience and Kara DioGuardi’s artistrty stamp of approval), while Adam stayed true to his uptempo-downtempo pattern by going downtempo on disco week with Yvonne Elliman’s If I Can’t Have You and bringing Paula Abdul to tears.

The ultimate "FISH CHEWREN"

It was soo crowded and packed but i went to ZOUK and dragged Zam with me JUST to support a very very dear friend of mine, the ULTIMATE fish chewren; Zac. He is one of the CLEO's 50 MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR this year. Purposely, wasn't really there to support him but wanna see him making fool of himself on stage with Serena C and Rasyhid Salleh; doing the CLEO's adaptation of Beauty Pagent. This handsome hunk konon-konon maintaining his low profile status contravene his CASANOVA attitude or perhaps Putri was there and he "takut" with her LOL!(Putri is his longtime girlfriend).

SMS-ing

me: Hang x buat show ke? :)

Zac: X mau..haha..chk out Golding, hensem giler.

As predicted, its certain that Henry Golding (8TV Quickie Host cum model) wins the tittle. Albeit not winning CLEO MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR or any subsidiary tittle, Zac was being cool as cat & supportive to the show, as a matter of fact, everybody was!

To Zac, congratulations to you! (akhirnya ko masuk jugak dlm CLEO's 50 MEB kann!!!) even you're not eligible afterall :P

SMS-ing
me: i chow dulu my friend nak balik. Nway good job Zac :)
zac: K, thx for cumming :)

Miss USA 2009 controversy : same sex marriage question

True to form, this year's pageant was not without controversy as a result of the response from the 1st Runner-Up Miss California, Carrie Prejean to a question on same sex marriage.

"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage,and you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offence to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

SALUD FOR HER FOR SPEAKING FROM HER HEART AND STICKING TO HOW SHE WAS RAISED.She definitely does give the politically correct answer!

The Girl In The Green Scarf

The most sublimely-contemporary romantic comedy i've ever seen!! It's an enjoyable cautionary tale which everybody will love. As a matter of fact, watched it twice with my other mid-degree shopaholic hommies.
Alas, this is the truth! Vis-à-vis the perils of overspending on your credit card, the movie is genuinely honest. I got 5 credit cards myself, spend with a maximum limit but pay it with the lowest possible degree. It took me for almost 7 years to completely pay my bills. Ok now I’m down with 2 cards as I’ve made a full settlement for the others. Ok, I lied. 3 cards now; AMEX, CITIBANK (Visa) and HSBC (Visa).
Well, I can’t help it, its a (retail) THERAPHY because when we shop, the world become a better place and when it is NOT, then we shop again.

Until the cashier says : DECLINED…its really DECLINED :P

American Idols Part 3: JT Wannabe

Every seasons American Idols will elevate at least one rival to enter the realm of Justin Timberlake-ish and this year from what i can catch a glimpse of, its Matt Giraud!
He performs Stevie Wonder’s “Part-Time Lover" and contemporarily changed the arrangement.

His incredible lower register with the very Justin Timberlake-ish falsetto and alto range,

I LOVE this performance!!

This also reminds me of another American Idol cast off from season 6, the ultimate JT wannabe,
Chris Richardson. Here is the my favorite number from his album- All Alone

The song is very Justin Timberlake-ish, very pop/ r & b.

the guide for all singletons : He’s Just Not That Into You.

This movie demonstrates that point perfectly! If you are a Sex and the City fan like me, then you know exactly where the premise of this film came from. I remembered and watched again in one episode ( it was on episode 4 of season six entitled: “Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little” ) when the ferocious Miranda Hobbes learns: “that guy you may be into, is just not that into you".

The premise of this film is very SIMPLE and also presented directly within the title: He’s Just Not That Into You. This six-worded phrase falls more into COMPLICATED category afterall.
Dealing with the tough world of love, this film shows just some of the problems people might have either in relationships or when being single: sex, love, relationship and betrayal.

Too often, the things you want most is the one thing you can’t have. And as intidimating as it may seems, I am part of the rule and not the exception. I should have known better but repeatedly misinterprets the signs. But it soon becomes apparent that we are not compatible that I would imagine. Nevertheless, even though i obsessed over everything and have embarrassed myself many times, but i'm closer to finding love than he is. Because as though as wanting something can be the people who suffer the most are those who don’t know what the want.

I'm the eternal optimist! This just means that it's time to say - Next!

American Idols Part 2

Kris Allen (oh boy!); newly wedded guy who swoon us with his sweet incredible voice. He’s musically talented and believe me he is not just pretty face. However, he’s no extraordinary but he got his moment and he definitely got a pimp spot! This Top 9 contestant was given the liberty to pick any song as long as it’s a popular download on iTunes. Kris Allen likes taking old songs and making them contemporary. Accompanied by a string section, he sang “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers (OST Notting Hill), ditching the guitar for the keyboards. I have to admit that he delivered this time. The song came across emotional and moving. This was definitely his best performance of the season.

As Kara pointed it out : “That is artistry!”

Lust in MUSIC - American Idols Part 1

Moving away from overly sentimental subject; 2009 brings sunshine; ALIVE! No matter how messy things got, I managed to pull myself together. It’s been a long time coming but I knew once I did it, I’d do it in style. But before i plunge deeper into obscure; incomprehensible terrain, lets chill with some tunes shall we? Urban cliché says MUSIC feeds your soul. So it does! Lets embark on the phenomenal AMERICAN IDOLS which has been running for 8th consecutive years. It always been my favorite shows; PERIOD! This seasons lining up quite an outstanding and brilliant individuals - Adam Lambert, Megan Joy, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen; to name a few. Megan is always been my favorite. She's remarkably talented and truly truly truly outrageous. Nevertheless, she had it coming. The single mom from Utah with the voice of a 1930's jazz singer wasn't meant for American Idols. Despite all the superfluous nonsense that American Idols comes with every season, in the end, as the judges are prone to remind us, it is a singing competition. And, based on pure singing ability, Megan Joy was completely out of her league. But, and this is where Idol deserves credit, they saw something in Megan. She was different, she was unique, and they took a flier on that untapped talent. Ultimately, it didn't work out (and some call it an utter disaster), but at least it was worth a try. Still....... LOVE HER! For Megan fans out there, here some of my favorites song of hers i'd like to share. Feel free to download to your iPod.

FYI, I am iTunes friendly :)

Así Es La Vida

It was official, a new season has begun and albeit winter has passed, I’m still waiting; the late Spring-blooming. Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate, without ‘em, what shape our lives?
As life is just as fragile as an old Saxony figurine, 2008 marks a tremendous highs and lows. Along the winding path, I picked up bit and pieces from the broken heart and the misty memories of days gone by. And then there were some wounds, some betrayals that are so deep, so profound that there's no way to repair what was lost. And when that happen, there is nothin left to do but wait....
But despite the agony, against all odds, I’m ending up chasing rainbows. I suppose it wouldn’t be doing myself justice if I didn’t declare some lovely happenings that put a smile on my face. :)

This is it.....

I have always wanted to blog but keep waiting for the right historic period stage of life to inaugurate.

And now I am 30 years old and genuinely believed…..it is TIME.
