She Asked For It
2007-09-15 08:30:00 Vanessa Hudgens, one of Disney's more prominent darlings of late, who's shot to fame was for her role of the sweet, brainy Gabriella on High School Musical, was recently embroiled in a scandal over nude photos of her being circulated on the net. She later confessed that it is indeed her, and she had taken the photos for the viewing pleasure of her boyfriend, Zac Efron, another star from High School Musical. Guess she's not so innocent, eh? On September 6, 2007, controversy erupted after nude photos of Hudgens surfaced online. A statement from her publicist claims that the photos were taken privately and it was "unfortunate" that they were released on the Internet. Hudgens later apologized, saying that she was "embarrassed over the situation" and regretted having "taken [those] photos". Disney Channel spokeswoman Patti McTeague indicated that Disney will still be working with Hudgens, stating, "Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment. We hope she's learn...

Bit & Snippets
2007-09-10 07:26:00 My mother left some time last week for her 20 days pilgrimage to Germany. The last news I received from her was when she was in Frankfurt, heading to Nurnberg & Prague on the next day. Makes me wonder how Dad, Desmond, and my cousin are handling their meals & household chores in Labuan while she's away.I finally called the apartment management about the annoying neighbour who turns on her air conditioning every night (no problem) which has been leaking onto my bedroom wall since early this year (big problem!). Even though they didn't come knocking on my door or called me with an update, they did get stuff done. I mean, what further evidence did they need? They can see the damage that's been done just by standing outside.The mysteriously fallen pipe has been fixed, and I suspect they told the neighbour to not use the air con, cause it's been three nights, and she hasn't used it at all. All I will say it... Good riddance!Life, for me, has been pretty quiet without Lionel and the ... More About: Dear Diary
Suspicious Minds
2007-09-09 06:32:00 When I got this invitation over on Friendster, I wasn't interested. A few inquiries to friends if they had received the same message - to which they said no - made me question how did they, and more importantly, why did they invite me? Honestly speaking, I don't know any of the organizers.A friend invited me to go, reason being, the aforementioned friend knows only one person who is going, but I took a rain check. Let me just say that I don't regret my decision. The main reason I wasn't interested in the start was that instinct told me that the party wouldn't be a simple social experience. Turns out my instinct was right.Recently, I heard through the grapevine that there was a heavy flow of alcoholic drinks (as advertised) and something else... There were private rooms available, "reserved" only for couples. What the heck? If that's the case, then I think they left out something the in flyer : S-e-x!And I've confirmed the reason why I was invited: it's because the party was ... More About: Minds , Dear Diary

Double Feature
2007-09-01 09:02:00 Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are back in the latest Rush Hour installment. Unfortunately, the plot is totally predictable. I managed to identify one of the bad guys about 30 minutes into the movie! However, if you just want to watch a movie that requires no thinking and ditches out a lot of laughs, this is the one for you.Rumour has it that there was supposed to be a fourth movie, but it's been cancelled due to Chris's behavior during the filming of the third film. In fact, Jackie Chan blames delay for the release of Rush Hour 3 on Chris Tucker.I find it amusing that they changed the movie title in Asia to Rogue Assassin instead. I was looking forward to it, as most Jason Statham movies are not too bad. However, I found myself disappointed with this one. But there was an unexpected twist near the end of the movie which was kinda interesting. By the way, Devon Aoki might be half Japanese, but her ability to communicate in the language is terrible!

Sayonara
2007-08-27 07:31:00 After slightly more than 5 years of living with Lionel, things are now gonna be pretty weird. He left yesterday on an evening flight with Jonathan to begin a new chapter of his life in KL. Nelson left on a morning flight. (He has to wait at the LCCT until they actually arrive- that's like, around 8 hours!) Interesting combo: a mechanic, a lawyer, and a businessman living in the same apartment. ^.^The farewell crew was comprised of some pretty expected (and completely unexpected) people. Either than me, there was Hannah, Abel, Rosalind, Ezekiel, Adrian, Michelle, Abraham, Alex & his girlfriend, plus Jonathan's family. Those who couldn't make it like Rex and Russell, settled for phone calls or saying their farewells beforehand in church.Well, I'm now officially family-less in KK. This is gonna be interesting.

Mission: Failure
2007-08-25 07:48:00 First off, even after all the covert like operations and efforts to keep stuff under wraps, the gig was up. He already suspected what was going on. Another thing is that almost everyone arrived after 7pm and started eating at different times. x.xWho was there? Rex, Imelda, Lionel, Hannah, Eric , Tiffany, Abel, Joy, Ian, & Abraham. Rodney didn't plan to join us for the dinner, but he arrived just as we were walking out of the restaurant. Alex could only meet up with us after work. Others like Russell, Sharon, Uncle Jeremiah and his family, couldn't make it, which was sad.Well, at the skating rink, we ended up just standing there looking around, deliberating, before finally deciding to go play go-karts instead, only to find out that they're closed! Oh well. Then, we went to Coffee Bean @ City Mall, only to just walk through the store (haha!) and (finally) ended up sitting around and chit chatting in Veda Blue.Sheesh.

Out Tonight
2007-08-24 10:38:00 Okay, let's see... I sent out all the invitattions by SMS three days ago. Out of the close to twenty people that I invited, ten will be joining the dinner @ Little Italy, and maybe three others will meet us later at the ice skating rink. I've seen the rink, and it's SOOO small! I'll say this: the person who took the publicity photos for the Daily Express sure knows how to work a camera!Read more about it from other bloggers: here, and here. The photos above are credited to Jacq, and might I add, they're not the ones featured in the papers. There are more pictures of the ice skating rink at her blog. Check 'em out.

Yes, people, I was hired and was undergoing training, but I decided to drop it. Not that I can't stand working life, in fact, I like the idea of HAVING money, working 5 days a week, at a brilliant location, but the number of undesirable traits about the job were far exceeding. # The company deals in Forex. Nothing wrong with that, but they are not legally licensed by Bank Negara, in order to escape the tax requirements. It is something which they even admit openly. I have visited the website of the company which they claim they're being the middle man for, but the website is quite vague. # They consider themselves professional. And yet, so far all I've seen are printed (from the net) or photocopied information, which each worker is required to carry around as the company portfolio.

Skyfall
2007-08-13 08:42:00 Sunday was relaxing. Because the weather was too hot, the guys cancelled their jogging plans. Instead, we went over to Tanjung Aru just as the sun was about to set. The view was simply gorgeous. In fact, there was even a rainbow. Abel was the only one with a proper digital camera (which unfortunately ran out of battery) while the rest tried to improvise with their handphones.This picture was the only one that I could find on Google that comes close to the magnificent view we saw that day. And before you think otherwise, let me tell you that this is the exact beach where we were.Joy called while we were on the way to dinner- she ended up joining us. Stamford is going to have it's annual prom this coming Friday, and her friend has asked her to sing a duet, and surprisingly, she asked me for possible song suggestions. So far, Carrie Underwood's Whenever You Remember ranks high on the list. The only question now is, can she find the minus one version?I really, really would like to go ...

Thursday Blues
2007-08-09 07:01:00 Bored, bored, bored.Last weekend, I went out with Imelda for a day of shopping, and no sooner had we hit KK, I had spent... Well, an uncitable amount of cash on useless things. All in all, I bought a total of 9 books & 17 DVD's (three of which, are in poor quality). Among the stack is New York Minute, which I bought just for the hell of it, which is just a pitiful excuse for a movie.Honestly speaking, I do feel bad for not helping out with the tracting for the upcoming Roy Durman crusade last Saturday. I only have two words as an explanation: it's complicated. Regarding the crusade, it's going to be held on the 17th to 19th of August @ KDCA, from 7.30pm onwards. Admission is free. This will be the second time that Rev. Roy Durman has been to KK. Yes people, Jesus still heals today!Ironically, yet again, I've fallen sick. If I believed in karma, I'd probably say that's my penance for not helping out in the tracting. x_x My symptoms are the flu, an irritable throat and a bit of ...

2007-08-04 10:10:00 The rate that Comics House publishes their manga is terribly slow and inconsistent. They are way behind all the original publications.

2007-08-03 06:24:00 The Simpsons Movie. Spoilers ahead! It starts off as a fun ride, dips a bit in the middle, and then rises up (slightly) for the end. The movie starts with the family going to church, where then Grandpa Simpson gets a "prophecy", which Marge believes is to be about the impending doom of Springfield. Of course, the person who brings it about just has to be Homer.In short, after Springfield gets covered in a dome, the Simpsons get hunted down by the entired town, the family's escape to Alaska, the family's desertion of Homer after he selfishly refuses to save the town, Homer's encounter with the "boob lady", and (you knew it'll have to happen) his eventually saving of the town, regaining back his old life... As per usual, life lessons must be learned.Homer learns that he's lost without his family & the people of Springfield, Marge loses then regains her long suffering love for her husband (as always), Bart discovers that as much as he would love to have Flanders as his father, Hom...

2007-08-01 07:13:00 I seem to keep on downloading songs aimlessly, no matter how hard I try to set myself down to a specific album. I managed to get pretty poor quality mp3's of Carrie Underwood & the Backstreetboys first single from their respective upcoming new albums. No matter, at least I know what to expect. Heh.

Tough Luck
2007-07-26 11:22:00 Feeling depressed. I just found out last night the reason why I haven't gotten a callback for the job which I had the most "promising" interview. News is, the guy who interviewed me, is FIRED. Yes, F-I-R-E-D. Apparently, he was abusing the company's name and money. I kinda feel sorry for the guy, in some way. He just got laid off from a pretty big company. So where can he go from there now? Who will take him up with a record like that? In any case, all of this means that I have to look for another job. Which I really am so not looking forward to. More About: Dear Diary , Tough , Luck

2007-07-25 09:55:00 I'm dying for Mom's home cooked food. I miss hinava. It's been years since I've eaten it! Spoken like that, it sounds like I'm far away from home, and yet it's only a 20 minutes plane ride away. ^-^ It's almost been 7 months since I last went. I would really like to go back, it's just that I have a few things on my plate, which is kinda stopping me from going back home.My culinary expertise is practically non-existent. Which is why most of the stuff I've been attempting to cook every once in a while ends up a charred black mess. x_x That doesn't help when you have guy friends who can cook. And not too badly, might I add. Recently, Rex cooked for us a sample of what her normally cooks for the tourists he has to bring. Let's just say most of the dishes consisted of pork. Heh.
