Of all things...

Okay, heck, I haven't recovered from last night. What a day...

My father and I were watching TV last night near my grandma's home...the TV was blaring loud (blame the plasma TV for that). Grandma went upstairs to rest..but then she heard a loud, glass-splintering noise. But then she thought it was just some normal stuff and it belonged to others, so she let it off.

Around 1/2 hour later, as we were starting to drive home, I was shocked to see Dad's car window smashed to pieces (the rear left window, passenger seat). And there were pieces of glass everywhere: at the pavements and the whole back seat. Dad decided to drive home..as we thought Mom will be at home by then. During the whole journey, the glass kept breaking...splattered across the road and in the car...and I was scared, panicky and stuff (not as exaggerated, but yeah). Dad's computer bag (with the laptop and main working files) was gone, my two bags containing college stuff and music theory books were gone too. I assume they took every single bag available...haihz. But then the EPF and SOCSO documents were saved..phew.

Then Dad decided to drive back to Grandma's and as all hell broke loose, we reached there in reasonable time. Called Grandma to look for the bags at the playground opposite...but to no avail. Grandma called the guards and told them of the incident and asked them to find my two bags...as they know the computer bag will definitely be gone. I knew they would not find mine, too...as there were files in them. Important ones.

Well, as expected, when the guards came back a while later, they said that they couldn't find the two bags. Fine. We asked the guards to hand it to Grandma once they had found the bags.

We went home to tell Mom about the whole incident. As usual, the shell-shocked Mom was jerked awake when we told her about it. Luckily I survived with my purse and handphone intact, lol.

Moral of the story:
Don't even expose your bags and precious belongings...even the thieves would check at the bottom of your car! Place it at the car boot or something...at least somewhere protected and cannot be obviously seen by the public.

EDIT: I can't use my comp for a few days...Dad's using it for temporary storage of his work. I can only get online in college...or anywhere else that has an Internet connection. Haha.

Haha...wanted to upload this for some time, so here it goes...

Utada Hikaru (more affectionately known as Hikki) has made big waves in Japan...with hits sucs as 'First Love', 'Travelling', 'Sakura Drops' and 'Tokyo Nights'. She has also released an English album, 'Exodus', which had one of its songs topping up the charts ('Devil Inside').

After a long hiatus, she has finally released the album that all her fans have been waiting for: Ultra Blue!

C&C: (Take your opinion on this, this is just from my perspective)

This Is Love - This song is, by far, the best of all the new songs in this album. The repetitive beats of this song gives it some attraction, but mainly the singing style of Hikki just blends with the music very well. Enough said.

BLUE - As the main theme of the album, this song lives up to its billing. The beginning of the song has the feel matching to the title...but very contemplative at the end.

Nichiyo no Asa (日曜の朝) - This song is groovy on its own, and soothing in a way (as the high pitches aren't that high)....and the lyrics are quite narrative (well, this is only at a glance..so I can't really say much). One word: pleasant.

Making Love - Not bad...voices aren't bad, and matches with the song. Not much to say about this song, btw...

One Night Magic feat. Yamada Masashi - This is the only song that I won't be satisfied with...other then the line 'oto, oto oto o...', the whole song was a bit of a drab. This pairing isn't as good as it gets, I guess...

海路 (Kairo) - Not bad, I guess...can't say much. It has the same style as 'Passion', just a little more laid back.

WINGS - This is another song that I particularly liked from the album...especially in the first 20 seconds of it. The mood is a little inspirational, too.

Eclipse (Interlude) - This tune is considered okay just to pass the time...not bad, actually!

There are some songs that were released before this album...the meaningful 'Keep Trying', the melodious 'COLORS', 'Dareka no Negai ga Kanaukoro', the contemplative 'Be My Last' and 'Passion', the theme song for Kingdom Hearts II. Check out the English version of 'Passion', 'Sanctuary' too...and feel the differences.

Overall, although some songs weren't as good as it is, it's worth the download or purchase. Get it from the nearest record shop to you...or, to be more precise, any record shop that sells this album. :P

Rating: 7.5 / 1o

Satisfaction and Happiness....not in my dictionary.

It's sad, right?
For a person like me, being intelligent, you would be thinking that I had a good school life, have best friends and such...but first impressions will always give you the opposite of who a person actually is.

For 11 years (plus this year too), I haven't been connected fully with another person..from the same school and tuition class. It feels like you're distant from everyone else...you feel lonely among a sea of so-called friends. Living far from them doesn't help much either.

And some of the 'friends' gave me a false meaning of friendship...well, it seems that they'll be nice when they meet you but will stab behind your back. I'm always aware of it...I've been into that trap many times.

But for some reason, you can't help it...in the process of making friends, you would to be in the crowd, without changing your own personality and life. You want to be a part of them.

I just came back from Anugerah Cemerlang in my school...and it re-ignited my saddest days. I was mainly there to catch up with friends whom I haven't met for quite some time...not to mention almost plunging into trouble again! Most of all, even though I caught up with Deborah, I just couldn't find that connection...the connection that makes you feel secure, happy and satisfied.

And I need to get back to the office after a few days...to collect my certificate! It seems that my class was typed wrongly...even the teachers thought I was in 5 Alpha! Haihz...

On another note, I received a plaque and a book voucher worth RM25.00...for getting the best subject award. I decided to hand the voucher to Mom, it's more to her needs than mine...;)
