Farewell, Yasmin Ahmad

i didn't believe noi's sms informing me of the passing of Yasmin Ahmad. it took a whole day for me to finally gather the courage to google for more news about what's really happening. it was shocking. major newspapers online report about it. this is not true, i kept telling myself. still reeling from shock. i am saddened... dear Yasmin Ahmad was such an inspiration and creative talent and i really like her 'Sepet' movie and the petronas ads she made. i am crying watching these petronas ads again on youtube. i feel so sad... she was such a great storyteller & film director, whose works inspire so many of us and push the boundaries of the conservative world we are living in our heads. Dear Yasmin, u're missed by us all... ♥








The song 'Hujan' by Adibah Noor is really nice.

Camera Obscura - a film

i ♥ camera obscura's music and tracyanne's voice.

their music brings me to somewhere far away and gently tucks at my heartstrings...






newest single! ♥

You with your dietary restrictions
Said you loved me with a lot of conviction
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
Waiting for somebody exciting
Like you
Oh, the thing that you do
You make me go woo
With the things that you do (you do, you do)

I'll be criticized for lending out my art
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Why would I stand for dissapointed looks?
I'm fully grown but I'm on tenterhooks, ooh with the looks



oh i love her hair!!! :D

do u have the cure?

gotta confess... i listened to the cure when i was a lot younger. i was feeling kinda morbid and depressive and listening to their music actually made me feel better that i was not alone that it was actually ok to feel like this sometimes... anyway, i love the lyrics to many of their songs ♡♡♡ they're just so poetic and meaningful.

robert smith looks kinda older now... but his voice still rocks! ♥

the lyrics:
whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
like i am home again whnever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am whole again

whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
like i am young again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am fun again

however far away i will always love you however
long i stay i will always love you whatever
words i say i will always love you i will always
love you

whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
like i am free again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am clean again

however far away i will always love you however
long i stay i will always love you whatever
words i say i will always love you i will always
love you

Have u watched 'nick and norah's infinite playlist'? did u notice nick's ringtone was 'boys don't cry'?
the lyrics:

If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and
Laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that
It's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to
laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
