Sweet dreams

Nope, this is not a post about a sweet dream i had. It's about a song i'm sure some of you had heard before.
It's by Eurythmics. Don't know who are they?

They are British pop rock duo, which was formed in 1980, but currently disbanded. The female member is Annie Lennox, while the male member is David A.Steward. For more information on the band, you can check out the wikipedia for the band, or their website.

I find it quite true about this song. Everybody is looking for something in this world. But at the same time, while we are looking for that something, we will use people, or being used by other people in order to get what we want.

As for the song, here it is, it's call Sweet Dreams:

Have a sweet dream, and all the best in getting what you want in life.

Don Don Sushi Part 1

Whenever i feel like wanna have a quick bite of japanese food. I thought of Don Don Sushi.

It was only available at small stalls in various college, where there's only sushi rolls and temaki. But now, there are available in shop as well, where they serve donburi (japanese rice bowl dish). It is extremely convenient for those who are on the run. They can eat it while walking towards classes or in the class room, eat it while doing work in the office (especially for those rushing for some deadlines), or even eat it while driving.

In my next post, I'm gonna post up what's available in the shop. =)

Mean while, check out their FB Page, and their website for more information.

What does you shape like?

So i was listening to my ipod, then suddenly this song was played. I don't recall hearing this song before. It was soft and the voice was so... Attractive. Then only i realize it was sung by Jewel.

Lovely ain't she? In fact i love most of her song. But i wonder why i missed this one. Anyway, the song i was talking about is call The Shape of You. Here's the song which i get it from Youtube. Hope you like it too :)

Nyan Nyan Nyan

Recently i'm addicted to this Nyan Cat music, thanks to Victoria.

And I was telling my bestie, hey! the Nyan cat looks kinda like your cat in your car!!

See!! Kinda look alike right??

Check out this 3d version Nyan cat :D

So back to the topic. Victoria and I were chatting about some random stuff when she suddenly ask me, hey, have you heard of this nyan cat thing? And i said, yea, i heard people keep saying nyan nyan nyan and i have no idea what is that. She googled it, and sent me this video.

At first, my reaction was the same with most of them. WHAT IS THIS ANNOYING THING / MUSIC??

Then i watch the original video of the Nyan Cat.



And yea. OMG. I'm addicted to it. And i went to this actual site of the Nyan cat, where it nyan for like, well, it never end. My record so far only goes up to 5000 seconds. Oh well, wait till i get my streamyx then it'll be longer.



See the "lower the volume" on the top left corner? DON'T click it. The more you click it, the louder it goes. But, after a few clicks, the background will go berserk. It changes colors and it kinda feels like it's trying to psycho you. Oh, and there will be a karaoke button at the right side after you nyan for some time.

And there's Nyan Cat Game.

The Nyan Cat Game for iPhone is not so nice tho. :/ You can get it for free from the apps store. Just search Nyan Cat.

Till then, nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan

Heart in a jar

Just watched Glee Season 2 Episode 20, and Rachel sang this song during the Prom and I love it so much. So I googled it up and found the song. It's call Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri.

She kinda reminds me of Avril Lavigne. Anyway, here's the song. Hope you all like it too. Love the dance a lot. Really brings out the emotion, the feeling that are expressed through the song.

Falling in and out of love

A lot of people (or some people) always falls in and out of love very fast. Is it a new trend now? Or people are just getting used to it already. Love is something that till now, nobody can really understand and explains it.

You could have just met this new person. Get to know each other more. Next thing you know, you have fallen in love with this person. And if it doesn't go well, it will lead to heartbreaks.

After recovered from the heartbreak, the whole cycle will start all over again. Met this new person, blah blah blah.

There's this song I really love a lot, and I listen to it every now and then. It's call Buses and Trains by Bachelor Girl.

I think it's kinda related to many people, where you have fallen in love, and got your heartbroken. BUT, although you have got your heartbroken, you still wanna falls in love again. Here's the song, hope you all likes it too. =)

What can a bottle do?

What can a bottle do? Besides filling up liquid? A bottle can actually do quite many things, including carrying a love message to each other. Ever tried writing a message, put it in a bottle and let the waves of the sea carry it away, and then wonder who's gonna get it? But then again, if everyone is doing that, it will be considered as polluting the sea instead. *doubtful thought*

I just watched this short video by Kirsten Lepore. It's a pretty cool stop motion on how two characters interact with each other using only a bottle. Enjoy!!

Grow Cube

Recently my friend introduced me to this flash game. It's called Grow Cube.

The objective of the game, is to make use of all the 10 elements available, and make the cube grow into something. Each element will interfere with each other. Whichever element you choose, will indirectly affect other previous elements.

It starts with this:

A box like thingy. The 10 elements are at the side. There's a bone, water, a ball, a plate like thingy, some bushes, a clay pot, a tube, springs, human, and fire.

This is as far as i can get to:

Go have a try. And BEWARE! It's VERY addictive =) Enjoy!!

Click here for the game.

Tell me if you manage to complete it.

Someone already completed it and posted me the answer. So if you wanna spoil the fun, ask me for the answer. I don't wanna spoil other people's fun, so I've hide the comment =)

Tips when you are in a Cinema or want to watch a movie

As everyone knows, cinema is a place for us to catch the latest movie (or not so latest cause some are released in other countries months ago), together with your friends and family. Add in some snacks and popcorns and drinks, PERFECT!

These tips, is for you people, to be careful. Of course it's also applied to any where else where it involves money transaction. 

First of all, when you go for movies, you'll need a movie ticket. If you didn't purchased it online, or booked online, you'll have to queue. 

First tip: Plan ahead

Doesn't apply to you if you're the type that are spontaneous. It's always better and more convenient if you have booked the tickets earlier, or better yet, purchased the tickets earlier (if you have credit card). You can avoid the long queue, and don't have to worry about sitting right in front of the screen. OR, if you don't want to book or purchase it online, you can always buy the tickets one or few days earlier, especially if you are planning to watch a movie on a weekend or during a public holiday.

Next, for those who don't prefer to book or purchase tickets online.

Second tip: Check schedule

Those who have a smart phone or internet access through mobile phone, check the screening schedule and be there earlier to queue. Get your tickets in the morning, because normally the queue in the morning is not as long as the queue in the afternoon or night (during weekends or public holidays).

Finally, you're there at the ticket counter.

Third tip: Check everything, double check again


Check what? Check the date, the time, the movie, and the seats. Is everything correct? Pay money, and you're off. HOLD ON!! Did you checked on the ticket price? If it's a ladies day, did the staff gave you the ladies price (if you're a lady, or girl, or female) or the normal price? Students, usually student price applies for movies before 6pm on a weekday (But not all movies tho). Last of all, how much did you just payed the staff? RM50? or RM100? How much is the balance that the staff should pays you back? Most common mistakes? Let's say your total ticket price is RM 22. If you paid RM50, you'll get back RM 28. Simple maths right? Look at the notes on your hand and start counting. Enough said. Oh! And always count your balance at the ticket booth before you walk away.

Fourth tip: Combos / Sets at snacks bar


So, you got your tickets, before entering the hall, you decided to grab a snack and a drink. If you're with your friends, get a combo or set. It's always cheaper if all of you share out instead of buying separately. If there's a screen at the counter for you to see what you have order, LOOK AT IT! It's not a decoration, it's for you to know what you have ordered. After finishing order, look carefully whether the order is correct or not. Look at the screen again, make sure there are no additional order that you or the staff left out. Oh wait! Did you order separately or combo? The prices for each and everything is listed on the board. Finally, double check you balance again.

Fifth tip: After finish movie

Yay! Movie finished, rolling credits. Stand up, walk out. Now, most of the people put their handphones in their pocket. It's actually quite easy to drop out. Always check your pockets, see whether your wallet, your phones, your belongings are still with you. You may never get it back if you dropped it inside the cinema. Either somebody who are dishonest is gonna pick it up and declare it as their own, or if you're lucky, you'll get it back.

The tips are pretty common, but most of the people just don't really bother about it. AND, there are actually hidden tips in it, don't really get it? scroll it up and read word by word. See what I keep mentioning from time to time. These are tips so that you people can enjoy better when you're watching a movie in a cinema, no intention of defaming anyone. I don't wanna get sued by some what ever company for defaming them

Don't Cry Joni

Another lovely song which I want to share out. I love oldies. They can bring out the whole story in just one song.

Enjoy =)

The name of the song is Don't Cry Joni. Sung by Conway Twitty and Joni Lee. Joni Lee is Conway Twitty's then 16-year old daughter.
