Lady Gaga - Perfect Illusion





Monster is back!

I have waited for Lady Gaga's new album for a very long time. I still remember I was eagerly waiting for her music video for Do What You Want, but it was never released due to some controversy. I was hoping she could produce a music video for Gypsy, one of my favourite song, but she didn't.

Three years on, and now she's coming back and showing the world she rocks! Awesome song! And I like her now than when she was in meat dress.

Still a huge fan!

Malaysia Day

I have been incredibly busy these few weeks and I'm bound to be much busier next week, but I think I should take some day off to celebrate today. It's the 16th of September, which is Malaysia Day! It's the day the Federation of Malaya, Sarawak, Sabah and Singapore joined to form Malaysia, though Singapore later is expelled (the irony here Singapore is now the most successful). I am super proud of my country and of being a Malaysian, although my beloved country is now being slowly destroyed by a bunch of useless garbage that forms the incumbent government, but still Malaysia is an awesome country. I love you, Malaysia! Happy Malaysia Day!

MAN BAI - Kau Ilhamku


For a number of years, the tune stuck in my head and kept repeating it. 

The worst part is I can't recall even a single lyrics. I couldn't remember the name of the song, the name of the singer, or even when I first listened the song and how I encountered it, but it infiltrated my brain and made itself comfortable.

Until today, after so many years, I've finally identified the song! Through Fly Fm!!

Thank you. This is a nice song. I seldom listen to Malay songs but this is classic.

And yes, I still can't remember why I love it and how I first came across it.

郑迦文《Goodbye My Lover》



Ever since I watched his first performance during the audition, I knew this guy has talent.

I cannot comment on his singing skills but among all the contestants, he sings with the actual emotions that is transmittable.

He sings with raw emotion. That triumphs everything.




Busy Semester

I've begun my new semester in my university and things have been quite hectic now.

It's quite astonishing and unbelievable that I'm now already in the third year of my degree study. I could still remember the moment I stepped into Jit Sin back in 2007, all the way to I first went back for form 6 and graduated there and first came to Swinburne. In a blink of an eye and here I am now, halfway through my degree.

This semester I am taking units I have no interests in. Road Engineering is a boring unit and something I never wanted to study (I like structural), and the testy, temperamental and hormonal lecturers don't make my life easier.

Cost Engineering seems redundant. There are Quantity Surveyor to do the job. And this lecturer also sucks.

Water and Environmental Engineering is cool. It's research-based and has no final examination. So far the assignment is greywater-centric but it's nice.

Engineering Management I sucks. Anything that requires memorisation sucks. And I hate all of them.

Gotta go busy again.

Rio Olympics

Where I stay now currently has no internet access. I know this is long overdue but I can't help but post these.


Congratulations to Tan Wee Kiong and Goh V Shem who won silver medal in the recently concluded Rio Olympics. They won silver in badminton men's double. It's their first time in Olympics. The match was nerve-wrecking. The third set could have killed people with a weak heart! Yes, I know it's so close to clinching a gold, but please do remember Malaysians are always with you! Thank you for the effort. Going down 20-22 is nothing to be ashamed off. You fought well and we are all proud of you!! The look on Tan Wee Kiong's face after realising they have lost and his subsequent reaction of crying pains people heart. You shouldn't have cried. You still did all of us, and yourself, superbly proud!!


Congratulations to Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying who won silver medal, too, in badminton mixed double. It's also their first time. It was obvious the opponent was too strong but it's still a great achievement to come back with a silver.

Congratulations too to our national hero, Dato Lee Chong Wei. You may not have won a gold medal but you definitely have won the people's heart.

Heroes. Whenever you participate in Olympics, please forget about Malaysians. Forget about Malaysia. Treat it as your personal fight for the greatest achievement. You are not responsible for making Malaysians happy. You could do us proud and do our nation proud but it is not a responsibility. Don't be burdened. Just enjoy the game, and you shall be rewarded with the most handsome gift. Thank you for all the efforts. Malaysia may not have won a gold medal, but Malaysians can never come closer to each other.

Sadako vs Kayako

Ju-On series is the first ever J-horror I have ever watched. I know it was famous for being incredibly scary back in 2002 because back then I was little and the poster scared the hell out of me. Then I proceeded to watch Ju-On: The Grudge, and immediately fell in love with the movie. Kayako is a sinister, ever-lingering spiritual entity with a burning grudge that couldn't be put off, and same goes for her son, Toshio. But I have never ever watched a Ringu film. I know it came out before Ju-On and it was more famous but I don't know why I just don't find the concept of a ghost crawling out of a TV is by any stretch interesting. Any other horror movies that isn't Ju-On just features ghosts crawling around for no reason and people yelling at the top of their voices. The whole movie just doesn't feature a coherent plot or a writeable storyline.

So when I knew there is going to be a crossover movie featuring these two world famous ghost, I was excited. Especially since both the creators of the respective ghosts will be involved in the making.

Sadako vs Kayako mainly focuses on the girl who found a long-buried videotape and watched it. She died. She gave the videotape to a professor who yearns to have it. He watches it too. And he dies. Horror movies basically are the same: you got the curse, you try to stop it, and you die, and the curse lives on. That's the summary. It's the process that intrigues, and sorry I can't deliver it here.

When the lady who has watched the videotape wants to live, she went to an exorcist, who in turn led her to another exorcist. And that exorcist who appears to have some sort of supernatural/psychotic powers decided to bring Kayako and Sadako together to fight and obliterate each other. The entire film climax lies at the end - Kayako and Sadako's eventual meeting. That part was awesome but could have been much longer. If you're wondering what the ending is, well, I have given the necessary hints.

Overall I like the film, but had it featured more from Ju-On series, it will have been greater.
