Forever Charmed

I was listening to Eddi Reader's Bell, Book & Candle which was
featured in the season premiere of the 4th season of Charmed.
Just found the link last night for the album, since i couldn't
find it anywhere locally.

The song made me cry, really, there's no other tv shows that come close
as it's my all time favorite. It's been a year plus since the show ended,
and really, i missed it so much. The show literally accompanied more than half of
my childhood. Since the show ended, i felt hollow inside, like parting with a family member.

Really missed that show a lot.

Zac Efron on Rolling Stone

Just wanna share with you guys a couple of shots of Zac Efron (High School Musical).
He looks sizzling HOT!!!!
Somebody get the fire extinguisher!!!

Abroad.

It's about less than a month till i leave
home to study abroad, all by myself.

Now that i'm leaving,
i kept thinking back why was i so desperate to leave the comfort
of my own family, siblings (although they can be quite annoying)
and everything familiar.

Not that i never travel abroad before,
it's just those were for fun,
and i know i have a place to return to eventually.

Sigh...
I guess even little birds will have to leave their nest sometime.
But hopefully everything will turn out well.

I've had my whole life plan out,
like double major in Anthropology along with English Language & Literature,
do my master in the US (maybe SF since i spent a couple years there),
and a huge possibility i won't refer Malaysia as home anymore.

Maybe, maybe not.
Guess this post is just another pointless rambling of mine.

Pushing Daisies

I just finished watching the pilot episode of Pushing Daisies
and i have to say, it's THE best TV show pilot to premiere this fall.

I mean, both Bryan Fuller (Heroes) and Barry Sonnenfeld did a great job
in combining murder, supernatural, drama, romance, mystery, and humor all
together, and get away with an awesome show!

The characters are quirky, especially the neurotic aunts of Charlotte (or Chuck).
The sets are colorful and funny...somehow,
imagine Big Fish, everything is weird, funny, colorful and bright,
which is in a sharp contrast to the main elements present in the show,
death.

Ned, a pie maker, played by Lee Pace is a dorky, motormouth guy,
who has the powers to bring dead people alive with only a touch.
And if he touches whoever he brought back alive the second time,
they will be dead permanently.
And the dead is alive for more than 1 minute,
someone else have to die...something like a universal balance rule or something.

Charlotte, or known as Chuck by Ned, is played by British Actress Anna Friel,
and to tell you the truth,
i have no idea she's British till i read her profile in Wikipedia.
Her accent is perfect, and she just...funny in a serious sort of way.

But, as i mentioned above,
Chuck's aunts, Aunt Lily and Aunt Vivian
are weird but steals the thunder off the main characters every time they appear on
screen. Both are played by Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene respectively.

Anyway, look out for this show,
premiering this 3rd October on ABC.

My New School! Ooops..University!

Gosh, I'm so excited.
Here's another picture of the main temple in front of my University.
Nice eh?

But what freaks me out is that I'm on my own,
traveling alone to Taiwan since my parents are going to Barcelona for
God knows what reason.

Sheesh, says it's a great opportunity for me to be a man and grow up.
Well...sigh...

Microsoft Office 2007 Gives me a headache!

Ok, i've upgraded my laptop to Vista Ultimate,
which i found disappointing,
since i feel like being cheated, as
it just doesn't live up the hype.

And Microsoft Office 2007 is too confusing,
even though the interface is a lil' nifty and cool,
but the whole thing is too confusing.

Took me more than 2 hours
to finish up stuff that i can finish in less than 20 minutes.

Altantuya Shaarribuu's Murder Case, Conspiracy?!

I was again,
shocked by the news the court has
decline the second accused - Kpl Sirul Azhar Umar's
statement of which he pointed out the
spot where they blow Altantuya's body.

I mean, gosh,
the case is getting way too complicated and twisted.
How can the court throws out an accused's statement
with the reason that he was under pressure and was
force to blurt out the statement.

So, what if i killed someone,
told the authorities i killed them,
in details, and told them,
"oh, some guy force me to admit!"
Does that makes me innocent??

To me, the whole case is all about
politics, power play, and it's obvious someone
powerful is behind the case, "PUSING" here and there.

All the evidence were there,
yet they gave lots of stupid excuses
not to charge the accused.

So where the heck is justice?

Well, this is Malaysia.
You have a Dato' or whatever pjk or pjm, Yang Berhormat..
before your name, and some political background, with a dash of cash,
you can get away with anything and everything.
