Mariah Carey Performs ‘Hero’ Dedicated to Obama

 

“I wrote this song to inspire people that anything is possible. Tonight I think we believe that, a whole lot more. This is for everybody out there with a dream, and of course, I have to dedicate it to our new president.”


That was Mariah’s dedication to U.S. President Barack Obama last night (January 20, 2008) as she took the stage at the first ever Neighborhood Inaugural Ball at the Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C. Mariah proceeded to sing her inspirational 1994 # 1 platinum selling song “Hero” in front of millions of attendees and TV viewers of the historic event. – Source: Mariah Carey Facebook page

 

 

 

Honestly, I don’t know if she was having a bad day, her once known “powerful” voice isn’t as “powerful” as 15 years ago when she first perform the song. But nevertheless….it’s still Mariah and she still makes it sound good. =)

Life Is Like Walking In A Shoe Store

 

You know the saying "..if the shoe fits"? Life in general is all about decisions, comforts and being practical. It's exactly like being in your favorite shoe store. If you're a person that likes shoes (like me), and if you see that taboo 4-letter word "S-A-L-E" on the shoe store display, you can feel moment you enter the store, you know you're fucked. It's because of the temptation of buying a pair that comes with it upon entering the store. Yes, you have the option of not going in, but come on....that don't usually happen now does it? You would still want to step in and look around to see if there is anything that you fancy. It's called  giving in to temptation, and I know everyone as humans are guilty of it.

 

Firstly, there are decision to be made to pick one (or two), since almost every pair of shoes are on sale at the store. Life too is about making choices. Decisions are made based on the pros and cons of each choice. Choosing a pair of shoes is not rocket science, but choosing a decent pair that suits you well and that is long lasting is pretty much the same as deciding on a long term investment plan. In life, there are so many decisions to be made like which job, which insurance policy, which house to buy...the list is endless. When you choose a pair of shoes, you would also want it to last as long as they can and not have the soles come off just a week after purchasing it. You wouldn't want to hesitant into making a decision just because it looks nice, but the quality is lousy. You'll regret it later if you do that.

 

 

"Why I always have to choose? Can't I have all?...Arrgh!"

 

 

Now, when you see a pair of shoes that you like, you would want to try it on first. Pretty much like starting a relationship with someone. You would want to try out to see if it fits and if they are comfortable. Always remember, if fits well, it's not always necessarily comfortable. Most shoes has to be seasoned to feel extra comfortable. So before you go get married or something, it is necessary for both parties to feel comfortable with each other which requires time.

 

 

"Yes it fits perfectly!...but not really comfortable leh!"

 

 

Now lastly, it's about being practical. If you already have those pair of shoes in similar design or color, it's not really necessary to be getting another...unless it is a replacement for the worn out pair. Life is the same. It's all about being practical and not being spendthrift. Certain things are "nice to haves" while others are "must haves". Everyone one can do without the former unless they have a little bit more saved up and would like to reward themselves. People need to know the clear distinction of the two especially with the slowdown of the global economy.

 

 

 

So, the next time you walk into a shoe store, just remember these things. Who would have thought that shoe shopping and life can have so many things in common huh? I bet you would see things a little differently now.

The 2008 NYE Party @ Lanson Place

 

I know I know, this post is waaay overdue. Some of you have asked what I did for NYE this year and wondered why there isn't any photos up on my blog or even Facebook. Well, the reason is simple. I didn't post up anything sooner is because I didn't have the photos to begin with. Since there will be an ample amount of cameras there that night, I resulted to be the "superstar" for once and let others take the photos. I only got the photos today when I went back to the office as I was on a long leave since 27th of December last year (are you jealous?).

 

Anyway, this year my friends and I all rented a 3 bedroom service apartment, Lanson Place, in the heart of KL City. The booze was flowing like water and there was even 2 sheesha units which was really cool! I think the room had about 20+ people at one point as friends brought friends, which was great.

 

These are just a few sample shots or rather the more decent ones taken that night...

 

 

 

 

 

that's strawberry flavored sheesha...yumm!

 

 

 

"Haaapy Neeww Yeeeaarrr!!"

 

 

Since we're up on the 10th floor in a prime location, we could see the fireworks display from KLCC up close as well as from Jalan Bukit Bintang area. We partied until the next morning where we then had complimentary breakfast before heading home. There were a couple of casualties that night, some incidences and some photos which cannot be posted online even! But the main thing is everyone had fun...what a night it was!

Oh My Dear Candice...

 

It happened just so sudden. I wasn't prepared for it. It was a rainy night, and I was traveling back with her after a night out with some friends when it happened. She began to act weirdly, as though she is trying to tell me something. I just ignored and carried on. She reacted even more violently....choking, shaking, gasping for air...as though it was a sign that her time is up. Yet I pushed her to go even further, thinking that she was just being emotional and will come to her senses soon. Then it happened...the next day...she didn't respond to me calling. There wasn't a sound...not even a whisper. Is she dead?! I panicked and called for help. A friend came over to help me try "resurrect" her but to no avail. I called for the professionals and they came and took her away in hopes of reviving her. I pray that she will be well and that everything will be ok again...and that it doesn't cost me a bomb to fix my car!

My Little Hideaway

 

Have you ever got that special feeling when you were a kid, that whenever you are in a place, say a toy shop or a candy store, your eyes lit up...you feel like you're in wonderland, never wanting to leave...and that nothing else in the world matters? Well, for me, I have one such particular hideaway that has always been dear to me. It's not a toy shop nor is it a candy store...my hideaway  has always been this particular record shop in Subang Parade. Yup, it always brings back so many memories, simply because I spent hours there after classes during my college days just listening to stacks and stacks of CDs without actually having to purchase any! Each time I'm there makes me feel like a kid in a toy store...never wanting to leave and I'll be so happy!

 

You see, this particular record shop used to be known as Pennylane. Back then, it was the only record shop I know that would actually allow you to listen to CDs without you purchasing it. Pennylane is small, simple and provides a very cozy environment for listening. Think of it like your local neighborhood pub. Not too commercialized, yet it draws back the loyal customers because of its simplicity and friendly customer service. Come to think of it, I used to frequent there so often that the owners always ask me how I am whenever I came by for a visit. Can you also imagine, how much I have spent purchasing CDs from there over the years? (yes I buy a lot...and I mean A LOT of original CDs....you won't even imagine!)

 

Fast forward 7 years later, Pennylane is no longer there, but it has been bought over by Rock Corner, a music store chain owned by Eastern Records. But even when Rock Corner took over the outlet in Subang Parade, they never expanded the size of the store, which kept the small cozy feeling I still like, unlike other Rock Corner outlets. Yes, even though it's now a place of a different name and interior, the feeling is very much the same each time I go there. It's funny because I don't get the same feeling for any other Rock Corner outlets I visit....maybe it's just nostalgic to me.

 

 

 

Rock Corner @ Subang Parade

my little hideaway..

 

So today, I was in Subang Parade to meet a friend up. I was early by an hour, so I went to my favorite hideaway....and guess what?...I end up purchasing 3 CDs! Sigh!...I can't help it! It's the one place in Malaysia that I can spend like the whole day there if time permits.

 

 

The 3 CDs I purchased..."An Evening of Jazz with Cat", "Eriko Ishihara" & "Julia Duncan"



Oh...there is also another place which has a similar effect on me each time I visit Singapore too. This place called That CD Shop situated at Pacific Plaza on Scotts Road...the added bonus of this outlet is maybe because the promoters are cute and hot! Hehe!


So now you know if I'm feeling a little under the weather...you know where to find me. ;)

Chowtut Nights

 

The term "Chowtut" is frequently used amongst my group of drinking buddies from work. It simply means an overdose or the state of becoming super high on a certain substance. For example, you can say "That fella got really super chowtut yesterday!" which simply means he was fucking high yesterday. The substance can be of any sort...alcohol, drugs, sex, food...the list goes on!

 

Having said that, during the pass week, my friends and I had 2 chowtut sessions. The first was last Saturday night at Tao Modesto's at Plaza TTDI. You see, it's been a long while since we had one of these big drinking sessions. Actually, it was ever since that my colleague Jek had twins. Last Saturday was one of the few "passport" moments for him where he can get to go out drinking with us so we just have to utilize the moment. That night, we started off with 2 bottles of whiskey and ended up doing shots of different sorts. The night started off quiet as there were only a couple of us there at first. Then, as more people came, and the alcohol began to flow...things became more fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest, after the drinking session, we went for supper at a nearby mamak but what happen after that was a total blur to both Jek and I. We didn't really remember much after that and I for one didn't know how I got home. Sound really scary actually. It's as though we were teleported back to our respective houses.

Then last Wednesday night, Jek wanted to clear his old wines and liquor to make way for a new stash which he bought recently. If you ask me, it's a darn good excuse for drinking. LOL. This time, I decided to play host and get people to come by my condo to wreck havoc. Again we started off slow with wines and then moved to whiskey. I whipped out a bottle of tequila from my stash and it was hit! I decided to down everyone with tequila shots. It's a new bottle mind you and by the night is done, there was only 1/4 of it left...and all these only through shots and no mixers! Imagine that!

 

 

the ammunition..

 

 

 

tequila shots

 

chowtut??

 

 

 

 

Anyway, it was a blast and I bet everyone had fun. No one really got chowtut that night actually, but Rabin was talking a lot of cock and we all were laughing non stop till wee hours in the morning.

 

Until then...click here to view more pictures from that night.
