The girlfriend

Her name is Lesley.

She is Adrian "The Rock" Wong's sweetheart.

The end.

Someone has a girlfriend

2007-10-14T21:13:00.000+08:00

Jing jing jing.

Not me, ok!

Congrats to you! Pandai-pandai tau who are you...

My dear

2007-10-13T15:55:00.000+08:00

real love, my dear, is not for sale.
real love, my dear, is hard to find.
real faith, my dear, is far too fake.
real faith, my dear, is just a dream.

Where can it be... in my heart.

---

It's been close to a year since I last saw you. I thought I had put those memories of you behind me, and I was pretty certain of it till I dreamt of you recently. I don't really know you all that well, not as much as I know my best friends anyway. It's hard to put my feelings into words, and my vocabulary is severely limited as well.

It'll be gone pretty soon, I think. And pops back up again sometime in the future.

---

On another note, I met plenty of people I knew/recognized yesterday at Pyramid. It was the first time I actually met so many people I knew on the same day at a shopping complex. Too bad Pui Ling didn't even come up to us and say hi. It was the first time I actually left my house to do something not in my usual routine for over a month since Wong left.

I have the option of going to Laos on November for a month with my brother and see Siew Keat or I could go for a vacation with my own group of friends. The thing is, my group of friends isn't like my brother's. They're all locked down in their prisons by their parents and think they'll fail their exams if they use just ONE day to hang out with their friends. So yeah, there's no guarantee the vacation would work out.

Or maybe it's no big deal and it's all just in my head.

What I want for my birthday VERSION 2

2007-10-11T11:50:00.000+08:00

SYNCHRONICITY SEEKER

As what I had mentioned earlier, OLIVIA got this herself. It's a pretty interesting toy as what she said on her website:

Hasegawa san chose the "synchronicity seeker", which is similar to the 8 ball toy. He made it in pendants and rings.. Sometimes I like to look for signs for a hint where to go next. For instance, if the bird flies to the right of me, i'll turn right. If it flies left, I go left. So I thought it would be neat to have little toy that I can have fun with. The "synchronicity seeker" has 4 conclusions written on a circular tab... YES, NO, MAYBE and FUCK. (which probably means you're fucked) and there's a jewel in the center. (the light receiver) So, shut your eyes, spin the miniature wheel with your thumb and wait till you see a spark in your head, or till you know when to stop. (you'll need to figure your own sign) Then STOP!! and wa-la!..... your answer!

The item costs 24675 yen. I have yet to find a correct exchange rate of the price to ringgit, so if anyone could help me, it will be great! I guess it's time for you guys to pool your money together! =D *false hopes*

A kitten sleeps

2007-10-10T14:27:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, there will be people who will save this kitten from living on the streets. But did anyone ever stop to think for a moment that this feline might have a home somewhere?

List 10 things that a lot of people didn't know about you.

1) I started playing video games since I was 2 years old, my first game being Sonic the Hedgehog (or Sonic the Hedgehog 2).

2) A friend and I nearly got our asses handed to the great Sentiasa Berkhidmat station during Form 4.

3) The only person I truly vented my anger towards someone is ironically one of my best friends (Adrian). Once during Standard 6 for unknown reasons, once during Form 2 when he was irritating me and once during Form 4 due to a plot Tracy and I hatched up.

4) Discovered the Goddess of Music, Olivia Lufkin's brilliant voice and music on 30 November 2006.

5) Once spent 4 hours trying to beat the final boss on Devil May Cry.

6) PWNED Wong and Tinesh with a knife on CS simultaneously this year.

7) Most embarrassing death in CS was when I was lying in wait with my sniper on de_truth when a grenade flew down from the sky and killed me instantly. The culprit? Wong.

8) Began to stray away and despised 90% of mainstream music since I discovered Utada Hikaru on 2002.

9) Sexual intercourse makes humans look like barbarians, in my opinion.

10) I slept with a girl (literally).

I like guys

2007-10-04T22:47:00.000+08:00

What's with the perception that if a guy thinks another guy as hot, he's gay while if a girl thinks another girl is hot, she's normal? It's weird, don't you think so? I think it's pretty normal for a guy to admire another guy's looks just as how he'd admire a girl with beautiful curves.

These are the only two guys whom I think is seriously gorgeous (and talented):

HYDE (singer)

Johnny Depp (actor)

What I want for my birthday next year

2007-10-03T22:50:00.000+08:00

1) Original Liverpool jersey! It's available at the Summit on the arcade/cinema floor. Price is around RM249.

2) L'Arc~en~Ciel's/OLIVIA's/Utada Hikaru's new album! They're all due out next year except for Utada Hikaru's English album which hasn't gain much news yet.

EDIT: L'Arc~en~Ciel's newest album, KISS, will be out on the 21st of November 2007.

3) iPhone!

4) A super-good gaming laptop!

5) A motorcycle license (and a motorcycle)!

6) PS3! Xbox 360! PSP Slim & Lite!

7) A non-boring life!

8) Malaysians to stop whining and not doing anything!

9) Money to go to Ireland to visit Wong or Japan/India/Africa!

10) Someone to sing me any of OLIVIA's/Caroline's/Utada Hikaru's/L'Arc~en~Ciel's/HYDE's song! I don't care if your voice sucks or not, I'll be happy to listen to it! And for you to add a "HSM sucks" after you finished singing (if you agree that it indeed sucks).

11) Dreamcast controllers! You could find them at Subang Parade at the section where the shops there sell mostly computer and electronic stuff. There's a video game shop there that sells 3 of these controllers for RM30 each!

Hey, is it that I could only meet you in such a situation? It's sad.

Cross the countless waves. You are facing the future. Go to protect you now.
My life I trade in for your pain
Stop the fight now!

Hey, why do human beings keep repeating their sins?
I hate this blood that flows in everyone's body without any evolution.
Judging one another with their instincts, in this land that belongs to no one

If a clear future should come, even flowers can reside on the weapons.
My wishes over their airspace
Would someone please wake you up. Wake up from this nightmare now
If my dream should come true, My life I trade in for your pain
How long should I pray until it could reach the sky?

Now the first sunlight shines over the ocean and me

Please, ride on the wind and ring the daybreak's bell
Like a bird, my wishes over their airspace
Cross the countless waves. You are facing the future. Go to protect you now.
My life I trade in for your pain
Fly high without turning back, take this wish with you and fly across the sky
This future won't be brought down by anyone.

Liverpool 1-0 Wigan

2007-09-30T00:30:00.000+08:00

Liverpool won luckily, to be honest, thanks to Benayoun fooling Titus Bramble (who was giving Liverpool lots of problems) and scoring his first EPL goal just 20 minutes after coming on from the substitute's bench in the second half.

Arsenal won 1-0 against West Ham thanks to van Persie. Can't they stop winning?!

Drogba got sent off in a 0-0 match against Fulham.

Portsmouth beats Liverpool's 6-0 record against Derby by trashing Reading 7-4. That's 11 goals, with an average of one goal every 8 minutes.

Let's pray Manchester United lose their match (or get a draw) against Birmingham in the next two hours.

EDITED: MU won 1-0 thanks to C. Ronaldo.

Can you PLEASE stop scoring goals? -.-

Liverpool, please gain back your form before the international break. Internationals suck anyway. They're a bore to watch.

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

2007-09-21T22:18:00.000+08:00

Will the Tupac Shakur fans recommend me some of his songs? I'm currently getting into rap songs again after listening to some old m-flo and Eminem songs.

Don't matter if you got money, don't matter if you got gold, sonna koto itte sumashiteru kedo, YOU WANT IT LIKE THAT... YOU DO.

Bye bye José Mourinho

2007-09-20T15:49:00.000+08:00

Apparently, José Mourinho was linked to Liverpool while he was managing Porto. As quoted from Wikipedia:

Mourinho publicly stated his preference for the Liverpool job over the Chelsea one. He said: "Liverpool are a team that interests everyone and Chelsea does not interest me so much because it is a new project with lots of money invested in it. I think it is a project which, if the club fail to win everything, then Abramovich could retire and take the money out of the club. It's an uncertain project. It is interesting for a coach to have the money to hire quality players but you never know if a project like this will bring success."

You brought some drama to the game and the arguments we had with you is memorable. With you gone...

Chelsea's fucked.

When an ex-crush messaged me...

2007-09-18T22:05:00.000+08:00

I was sleeping soundly at night when it happened and thought it was just a dream. Woke up in the morning, forgot about it, went to school like normal, bummed around in the afternoon as usual, took my dinner and went to my room to study. A sudden spark reminded me of the dream and I took my phone and checked my messages. Lo and behold, her name was at the top of the list! Life can be really unexpected...

And we keep driving into the night, it's a late goodbye...

2007-09-17T18:28:00.000+08:00

So, is there anything new in my life? Nope, it's the same old boring damn life. Backpacking at China with "little Wong's all grown up" and Grace sounds fun but then comes the obstacle of money. Being given 50 bucks per month to survive is okay to me, but when you want to do something big or spend the money going out, it's harsh. And I couldn't work because my mom forbids me to (and I want my Saturdays to be free).

So, Pangkor again? I don't mind completing a hat trick of being there for 3 years in a row.

Here's to Arsenal losing to Derby County 6-0 this Saturday and Manchester United's and Chelsea's players breaking each other's limbs. And Liverpool beating Birmingham City at Anfield.

2007-09-16T00:04:00.000+08:00

Guess it's gonna be another sunny day. Sunday's always the hottest day of the week. Suits the name, I guess. Life's been boring. I could see now why some people become gangsters. The excitement of being chased by cops, getting into fights... Maybe that's why I indulge myself into video games. To enter worlds which are more beautiful and exciting than reality.

8 qualifications to enter Jin's girlfriend candidates list

2007-09-12T17:48:00.000+08:00

1) You need to look like this and have this kind of assets:

Leah Dizon. Super "insert chun words here" girl.

She's your sister's age, Grace. A model/Jpop singer. Has a French-American mother and Chinese-Filipino father.

2) You need to rock. Rock like OLIVIA.

Look, she's floating.

3) Loves nature.

4) Loves music/movies/etc.

5) Has a license to kill to protect me from any wannabe assassins (basically, she can kick ass).

6) Smart (boleh masak, cari duit, etc).

7) Mysterious (y'know, like one day she comes up to me and says "I'm actually a secret sex agent. My name is Porn. Jane Porn.").

8) A GIRL GAMER!!! So I don't have to play single-player games all the time at home and there's actually a challenge for me to look forward to.

Can't post much on weekdays because mom is always around. The only time I'm free of her and my dad is on Saturdays cause they're usually out.

I'm bored

2007-09-10T15:17:00.000+08:00

I need some excitement in my life.

Times goes faster... and it's the end of the world?

2007-09-07T22:28:00.000+08:00

According to my Muslim friend, that is. He said that in Islam, when time seems to move faster, it's one of the signs the world is going to end.

What will you do if you have one day left to live?

I'll probably get myself to Kauai and witness the end of the world as we know it there.

As quoted from Wikipedia:
"The Japanese word for the number six is "roku" (六), which is similar to how the word "rock" is transliterated ("rokku"). So, "666" is "Rock Rock Rock"."

In emergencies
I close my eyes
and I see a ghost
I flutter to the light
and pray for lucidity

I can't keep waiting for you
I can't keep expecting you

Folding
The sun is turning inside-out of the universe so Cupid Cupid
Please aim your arrow at my sleeping flower
one time
Cupid Cupid
I, won't take it for granted

I wonder about
with my perfume puff
Skipping on the trails
of broken candy cane

I can't keep waiting for you
I can't keep expecting you

Folding
The sun is turning inside-out of the universe so
Cupid Cupid
Please aim your arrow at my sleeping flower
one time
Cupid Cupid

I can't keep waiting for you
I can't keep expecting you

Bye bye Jijiman

Had a last badminton session with Wong at SS17. Kelvin came later, and I spent my time there watching them OWNING every team they challenged till the last one. They were 13-4 down I think, and they managed a miraculous comeback ala Liverpool at Istanbul and won the match. Great way to leave the country, I guess. He's at the airport now with his family but I doubt there will be sob scenes.

Listening to X Japan's Forever Love now. It is Koizumi's (ex Prime Minister of Japan) favourite song.

L to R: Pata (guitar), hide (guitar), YOSHIKI (drums and piano), Toshi (vocals), Heath (bass)

DO NOT JUDGE THEM BY THE PICTURE ABOVE. The band debuted in 1988 and we know how hairstyles and clothes look like last time. AND, GOOD LOOKS DOES NOT = GOOD MUSIC. They're musical geniuses, all of them, especially YOSHIKI, the brains of the group. hide, unfortunately, died in May 2, 1998. He was found hung to a doorknob by a towel at 7:30 am.

A recent picture of YOSHIKI.

X Japan - Forever Love

Wong's last full 24 hours in Malaysia

2007-09-03T22:47:00.000+08:00

So, with Wong going back to Ireland tomorrow, we embarked on a CS session behind my house for an hour from 4 something till 5 something. Met Saaravana there; it's been ages since I last saw him. Wong's BRATZ friend, Kelvin (whom I met last Tuesday on a badminton session at SS17) joined us later. Made a short trip to 7-11; Wong bought some chewing gum.

Kelvin fetched us to Pyramid where we bowled and have Cheezy Wedges at KFC. Grace, her elder sister Erica and their cousin Denissa joined us close to 7. Kelvin have to leave, so Wong and the Tham family got themselves ice-creams. My dad called, so Wong and Grace escorted me to the entrance of Pyramid as I have Lit tuition at 8.15.

Left Wong to his TRIPLEKILL mission alone. :)

P.S. - Arnold, of SMK USJ 8, passed away on Merdeka Day (last Friday) after crashing his car/motorcycle on a road divider. Saaravana and Subhashini told me.

Blind Unicorn

2007-09-02T19:57:00.000+08:00

OLIVIA - Blind Unicorn

Everyday I bicker with the city life
When midnight creeps I spinkle holy water on hints
I scrutinize people tread on city lies
and they don't even recognize it
I slip in between the cracks to hollow chase
A time race
Embraced by the demons
Laced up by the government
Feasted by humans
Feasted on humans
Sweat rush fall under the spell
Someone is bound to tell

I crucify my beauty psyche
Anticipate the return of heed
When the doesn't reflect
and keeps moving in one direction
there's no room for my tension to ease
Hesitation cascades
Into the roots that branch down
into the earth
Magnetize look-a-likes
and unconsciously construct a haunted kingdom
with perpetual halls
I pray to god this is only evanescence

I'm riding on a blind unicorn
I'm riding on a blind unicorn
I'm going to throw up now

I have my own ways that I stride
and I'm not going to stride along the lines
of your fucking guidance
Fuck the apocalypse stars
And let me follow my own natural instinct
Unlinked from your universe
And your curse
Immerse my diverse ways of my mind
You make things worse
When you babble on about staying positive
and being good
and keeping sane
and sleeping right
and removing my dirty nail polish
You don't think I fucking know that?

I'm riding on a blind unicorn
I'm riding on a blind unicorn
I'm going to throw up now

It's a great day at Anfield

2007-09-02T00:13:00.000+08:00

And the sun will set for you

2007-08-31T14:45:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a really fulfilling day. Nearly 12 hours out from my house, being in the company of two friends I met nearly every day and two friends which I haven't seen in a long while. In the blink of an eye, we have changed in certain ways, but the nostalgic memories will always keep us together. Like the prick of a guitar string, it vibrates for a few short seconds and then it stops. It's the same for our lives. Our hearts will stop beating one day but the chain of memories will ensure that these people will never be forgotten, as long as the chain is never broken.

Like the shadows of a dream,
An embrace we've never prayed,
And the sun will set free you

As it turns out, the correct lyrics are

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you

Whatever the lyrics may be, the melody is something that'll remind me of the summer of 2007, July-August.

What I did on the eve of Merdeka

2007-08-31T08:50:00.000+08:00

Taken from Jijiman's blog:

Off to Monash with Grace, Jin, Terr and Erica. Dropped Erica off at her college first then went on to Monash to ask a few questions regarding it as my second choice should UCD fail. Lepas itu, kita orang pegi kutip Djawad in Kota Kemuning, go his house lepak for a while. Noticed that Grace has a pleasant personality / a nice person ( besides being our driver!) Djawad and grace then had a taste of CC then after being persuaded by Terr n Jin. CS WOOT! Kiss kiss bang bang!!

Spicy maggi goreng at some mamak for lunch. Then go play badminton!!
Man...I'm actually goina miss all this. The hanging out with friends, teh 'o' limau ais , badminton ,etc...What to do? Just have to go on with life. Just the way it is...Not that I really have an option....

Some serious badminton followed-paid for an hour and played for 3! Have to use a different exit to avoid the 'jaga' there. ' Saya bagi setengah jam , kamu orang ambil 1 jam lebih...' Cabut man...next time book the courts using a different name and number.Aiyo, lidat next tuesday susah lor...

Continuing with my own words, we dropped Tinesh off opposite Summit before proceeding to Kota Kemuning to drop Djawad off. Sat and chatted around there till past 7.30 before we left for home.

And the sun will set for you.

This post is especially dedicated to those who think I only listen to Japanese songs. -.-

I don't deny that, however, all the artists mentioned are Japanese.

Utada Hikaru was born in New York and is fluent in English.

Olivia and Caroline are half American-German and Japanese. Both of them were born at Okinawa, Japan.Both of them are more fluent in English and prefer speaking in English. They live in the US now, I think.

HYDE (vocalist)/L'Arc~en~Ciel (band) is a Japanese band that's been around for 15 years. HYDE's solo works have a lot of English songs while L'Arc songs are all Japanese with a few English words here and there.

There, that's it! There are more songs that I would like to recommend, but I think 10 for each artist is enough for now (although Caroline had only released one album so far and that album contains 9 songs. Time Swells is from one of her singles).

Football predictions

2007-08-26T22:03:00.000+08:00

So far my football psychic predictions hardly failed me and it's the same this season as well.

1) Rooney breaking his leg (HAHAHAHAHA came true)
2) C. Ronaldo breaking his head (in a way, so half true)
3) City beating United (ROFLMAOLOLOLOLOL)
4) Torres scoring against Chelsea (came true, as expected)
5) Gerrard performing magic skills again when Liverpool needs it (didn't happen against Chelsea)
6) Liverpool beating Sunderland (woohoo)
8) Arsenal beating City (woohoo)
9) Portsmouth beating Chelsea (didn't come true :()

Anyway, Tottenham will beat Manchester Untied today for sure or at least get a draw. No way MU's gonna win.

Off to Aaron's House 3

2007-08-03T23:12:00.000+08:00

I'm reporting live from Zion, Bandar Botanic.

There's a somewhat pretty girl sitting two seats away on my left. Tonight's host is playing DotA on my right. The other three guys are sitting somewhere behind me joining the host too. As an anti-DotA player, I thought I might bore you with my reporting skills instead.

This is the third week in a row I've been here. Eating, playing CS, doing some online stuff here, etc. The connection of my comp at home has gone crazy, so I think this will be the last post you'll ever see in my blog.

Fare thee well, children.

P.S. What do you think of the works of the Wandering Traveler, which you could see on your right? He's an online friend I made through RO, so do leave a comment on what you think of his posts there once in a while.

HARRY POTTER IS DEAD!

2007-07-26T19:47:00.000+08:00

Well, the series has ended with the release of the last Harry Potter book (you thought I was talking about the character? Sheesh!). I finally got to finish it today, and I got to say that:

There isn't enough of Luna Lovegood. After spending 6 days reading the Deathly Hallows which consisted of 607 pages, the story of the Boy Who Lived comes to an end after a decade.

If you really want to know whether Harry lives or dies, boycott MPH, Popular, Harris and Times and support Carrefour and Tesco for selling the books at a cheaper price. Buy the book for only RM 69.90.

Off to Aaron's house

2007-07-20T17:15:00.000+08:00

In about 45 minutes time, I'll be leaving my house to make love with a bunch of guys at Aaron's house because we are sad and lonely people.

Actually, it's just a sleepover with Tinesh, Tham, Wong, and maybe more guys (I don't know who else will be going).

And of course...

CS NIGHT!

Seafield the fuckfest school

2007-07-13T23:15:00.000+08:00

Ooga booga Seafield is one motherfucking arrogant S.O.B. (that's son of a bitch to you if you don't know) prickhead school who looks down on other schools and is so full of itself it makes me cry bloody tears.

I can't believe the teachers think it's actually right to diss other schools and think they're the best and higher than the rest. Two of my classmates skipped school, got caught by a certain hateful teacher, and this is what they told me happened.

Teacher: What school are you from?
Student: USJ 4.
Teacher: No wonder lah!

WTF? Seriously go die lah cibaibai (my new favourite word which I learnt from a friend)! Girls who have fringe, guys whose hair touches the collar, will get sent to the Bilik HEM immediately. Guys have two choices: get their hair cut on the spot or ask their parents to pick them up from the school and get their hair cut somewhere else.

Pergi matilah perempuan tua berdada lapangan terbang... Pn Tan Chin Chin and Mr Victor I love you two to bits. Even though you two always complain to me about my hair at least you guys are open and sporting about it.

No wonder our great Pengetua of our former alma mater told me this when I took my Form 6 qualification slip:

"Seafield? Mereka tu selalu kutuk sekolah kita. Jagalah nama baik sekolah kita di sana."

Tentulah, Kak Ruby. Kita takkan lupakan sekolah kita yang selalu berilmu, beramal dan berbudi.

Fuck you Seafield.

My first proper exercise since the last day of SPM

2007-07-10T22:16:00.000+08:00

Venue: 3K

Time: 3.50 p.m. - 5.33 p.m.

Activity: Badminton

Participants: Wong, Jin

I finally get to have a real sweating session today. After a year of not playing badminton, my skills had gone down the drain initially but after taking a break for a few minutes, I began to play better like how I used to be (which isn't particularly good, anyhow).

Finally, I get to SMASH (I couldn't do it last year after stopping for a year too). SMASH is something that all badminton players should learn to love and appreciate. SMASH requires speed, power and accuracy (though my SMASHes love to stick to the net). It's always a bonus if you get to hit any part of your opponent's body; head and privates especially.

There were a group of special children playing in the other end of the hall as well.

We went to A&W to get a glass of root beer each.

"Savour the moment."

We drank.

"AH I'M IN HEAVEN BEST DRINK EVER!"

Wong's dad fetched us home. I did my history notes. I squeezed in a few minutes of my time to write this post just like I did the previous one.

Today's date reads: 07/07/07

I spent this supposedly lucky day at Pyramid with Wong, his sister and his brother watching Surf's Up, due to the amazingly long queue at the cinema. The initial plan was to watch Transformers, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. The cinema had undergone some changes, what with it being brought to a higher floor built specifically for it and an arcade centre, and the theater room looked even smaller than before.

How was Surf's Up? Well, it might be a worth to watch if the ticket costs RM3 but since the actual price is RM11 bucks what with it being the weekend, that might tell you something. I hate animated animal movies with a passion now, unless they're directed by PIXAR. Can't the people in Hollywood stop spewing out movies where animals act like humans and let them act like animals for once? Take a page out of Finding Nemo, please!

Yesterday afternoon, "Colin Farrell" and I chatted a bit, and he posted some stupid things to a girl through my Windows Live Messenger account. His name is being kept confidential since he requested for it and I think the girl knows who he is, anyway.

During the night, Wong and I went to Tanjung for a mamak session, with Tham fetching us there. We waited for half an hour for Josh to arrive and had a good old chit-chat session. Apparently, U13 students have a gathering there every Friday night. U8, on the other hand...

After Josh left us at 11 to fetch his younger bro home from Summit, the three of us headed to the CC behind my house for an hour of CS action. We eventually reached our respective homes at 12.

I slept, and dreamt that Kelvin died after crashing his car on a tree and Wong died too (I can't remember how though). It was a horrible dream; I remember feeling incredibly terrible in the dream, thinking "he's only back for two days". Luckily, I woke up and realized it was only just a dream.

I know this post looks like it's written by a 10 year old kid. Trust me, I'm bad at English and my brain is dead.

Sleepy

2007-07-04T16:17:00.000+08:00

Since the day I started Form 6, I find myself being able to sleep anytime, anywhere. I used to sleep at 2 a.m./3 a.m. everyday during the holidays. Right now, the power and motivation of staying up late has gone. There's really nothing to look forward to in school other than utter boredom so it's better to sleep through it.

Happy Independence Day, America.

June 23rd, 2007. A day to be remembered. (courtesy of Caroline's MySpace)

Looking at this signboard, the dream is becoming a reality.

I told myself to frame this ticket and hang it up on the wall of my bedroom but I have yet to do so.

It was around 9.50 p.m. when the two and only underaged guys at KLPac (what do you expect? Look at what the majority of Malaysian teens listen to) stood by the stairs leading up to the Indicine hall. There were the staff at counters selling music CDs and Tiger beer cans, some foreigners and college students. And... Caroline's Murmers album!

Slowly, the crowd began to fill the hall and the stairs.

The CD which I always wanted to buy. I finally did.

As the audience of the first show began to leave the room, I began to tiptoe to look into the room, hoping to catch Caroline in my sights. And I did. The feeling that crept into my soul at the moment was something better than a thirsty working man getting his first sip of an eight-year-old bourbon.

We were then ushered to the room (there really wasn't a proper queue, people were just squeezing their way towards the small doors) after getting our tickets checked by the ushers.

Second row from the front. Wasn't bad, though I wondered how the short people behind me are gonna enjoy the gig this way. We were then told by a man to take a seat on the floor (boo hoo, school assembly time). We sat down patiently, eagerly waiting for Caroline to appear.

Equipment used for the gig.

Host: Who're you waiting for?
Crowd: Caroline! Caroline! Caroline!

A door on the right opened, and out stepped Caroline.

"My dear angel." Olivia Lufkin - Dear Angel

The dream hath come true!

Caroline stepped onto the stage behind her Mac laptop with her friend Jason, greeted us and mentioned that it was the first time she had two shows in one night and that she didn't expect many people in Malaysia to know her at all. So was I. I was surprised when I called the booking number only to be told that the first show was sold out. Feeling the world slipping down under me, the sun brightened up as the guy in the phone said that there will be a second show on 10.30 p.m. on the same day.

She is SO beautiful.

Pictures of her at wiki.theppn.org simply couldn't be compared to looking at her standing a few meters away from me. The first thought that entered my mind was "Hola! Olivia resemblance!" She's a living proof that girls with flesh >> girls without flesh.

She sang about 11 songs in the course of 1 hour and 10 minutes, I think. The songs range from Pink & Black, Sunrise, Where's My Love, Everylittlething and Winter. During the concert, she told us of a little story ("it's story time!") of how a drunken guy in Louisiana called her "the b-word" and how Jay tried to teach the guy a lesson and she had to put herself in between them.

I think this is the part where Caroline lets Jay sing a few notes from Where's My Love. You should have recorded this song, KC.

"Oh, they're kicking us out! This will be our last song!"

I think everyone was shocked to hear her say that. It was too soon. We want more. We want more!

After she quit the hall and entered backstage, everyone was screaming "We want more! We want more!" repeatedly. Door opened, and Caroline and Jay jump out smiling. Cheers ensued.

"Bicycle! Bicycle! Bicycle!"

Caroline went on to say something like they couldn't play the song at the moment, and promised to return next time with a "special acoustic version" of Bicycle.

The real final song, Everylittlething.

I kept my eyes on her throughout the whole song (as I did throughout the entire performance) until the very last moments where she steps into the backstage door and disappeared from sight with Jay.

P.S. - I just noticed that some kind-hearted souls had uploaded videos of her performance at YouTube. Check them out if you like. Other pictures and video courtesy of KC's phone.

All right, let's wait for KC and his pictures.
