Bikini Headlines

This morning while paying for breakfast at a kedai mamak, I was browsing the headlines on newspapers that laid on the counter. I noticed some of them were telling about this local actress' leaked bikini pics. It seems that people are making a big deal out of the pics that were unintentionally leaked to the net by her best friend.

Question is how is it so important that the papers have to make news out of it and put it on the front pages? Is this the level of intelligence that we Malaysians have? It's only about a popular TV chick trying to live her private life.

Even if she was walking around in bikinis, who are we to judge? Are we ourselves any better? At least she's sensitive to people's expectations, that for a public figure like her, she has to "behave" like what people believe she is - maybe like most of her baju kurung-clad-good-kampung-girl roles on TV.  Maybe that's why she decided to go to Bali, instead of Batu Feringghi or PD to avoid being spotted by fans and the media.

The fact that cheapskate stories like this made it to the front page bothers me. They belong to gossip blogs or teen magazines. Stop putting it up just to sell your newspaper. We have other serious issues at our hands that need urgent attention, not about some chick and her bikini pic.

3 Years Later

I'm back at this blog which I have abandoned for more than 3 years. I have given it a new name, a new URL and some touch up on the layout. This time around you'll find a more diverse content on this site. I'll be writing on just about anything that comes to mind, things that I want to share, things that I want you think about, things that I want you to ignore, things I love, things I hate, things you love, things you hate. I'll make you happy, I'll make you sad, I'll surprise you, traumatize you, make you hate me and make you like me. What was that?

Song Words

So I have this song that I "composed" and "arranged" almost two years ago, that I wish I could record it or perform with my band at an indie gig or something. But till this day I am nowhere near that - because I haven't got the lyrics for it.

The song's arrangement is of emo punk rock or emo alternative rock with a driving bassline and electric guitar plucking (with distortion) in the verses, while the chorus will be melodic with this really heavy guitar distortion riffs like Radiohead's Creep. And the song "expands" towards the end in the last choruses, and finally the instruments fade out, leaving harmonic vocals and lastly a complete stop. The theme, the mood I'm setting in this song is darkness, depression, frustration, defeat and emo like most songs from some of my influencing bands like Radiohead, Cake, My Chemical Romance and Soul Asylum. Can your hear it playing in your ears now?



During our jam sessions, my friends and I would just hum or just throw any words to the melody to make out a song.

I'm not good with words, what more with poetry. I must be a right-brainer. I wish I'm more creative and poetic. Or should I just get drunk or stoned and scribble some garbage into the melody like Kurt Cobain did?
