Let's revive the dead.

I was browsing through Ultimate-Guitar.com to find songs that I can play (because as you know the chords that I can play are very extremely limited) and I was looking to cover some songs when I suddenly remembered that I used to like playing one song very much. (Because simple chords la. :D)

Umbrella.

Taylor Swift's version of course. And then I went on Youtube and discovered that ALOT ALOT ALOT ALOT of other bands, singers and musicians have covered this song too! Namely, Linkin Park, Mcfly, All Time Low, Vanilla Sky, Mandy Moore etc.

Personally, I don't find Rihanna's version any interesting, in fact, I hated that it was always played in radio stations during its glorious times.

I only heard cover versions by Vanilla Sky and Taylor Swift before today, and I think they both did AWESOMELY better than Rihanna's version. (I'm not into Hip Hop period.)

But today I found MCFLY's version and All Time Low's version and they both ROCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

By MCFLY! My absolute FAVOURITE! I love the screaming part! So SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!



By ALL TIME LOW. Very sexy as well, but Mcfly's version is sexierrrrrrr! :D



Vanilla Sky's version! The video is freaking hilarious! And I think they made most alterations to the song in their version. It rocks! :D



Go check out the other cover versions in Youtube. I only posted these few because they are my favourites! :D

Ciao!

Pink font because it's her favourite colour! (:

12 SEPTEMBER 1989

A 3.6kg baby girl was born at Damo Clinic in Klang. According to those present, she was one of the cutest baby they had ever seen. Please note the word was in the previous sentence because it may serve as a crucial information in the following contents (photos, captions etc).

She was the angel of everyone's eyes. (Also note the word was please.) Charming, fat, round, small piggy eyes, quiet and adorable. But once when she tried to learn how to feed herself porridge, she miserably failed (as she wasn't even capable of holding a spoon yet at that time, let alone lead it to her mouth) and got a scolding from her Dad, after which she cried. Said Dad got scolded by her Mum. She then laughed evilly.

The last part was a lie.

Soon she grew up to being the OLD WOMAN she is today, her personality as all the following pictures entail...

12 SEPTEMBER 2009

You may have the most boring face on Earth...


You may be the most gluttony person alive...


You may have the boyfriend who only wears his PAY DAY Teeshirt when he doesn't need to go to work...


You may be a pervert who plants sloppy forceful kisses on adorable baby boys...

(No I am not saying that she is a pedophile but I shall leave the truth to your imagination.)

You may be a slut who pouts her lips and acts as if she is super sexy...

You may be a secret Ah Lian under your It Girl facade...

You may want me to keep quiet about that but I don't care...

You may have - USED TO have pimples and earned the nickname April + Pimple = Pimpril...

You may take bad camwhore photos with the over-sized shades which you immediately regretted buying only after 5 minutes of owning them...

You may take even worse candid photos (especially those sabotaged by me!) while talking and nobody listens...

But at least..........................

You are my BELOVED sister!

I am not that lame please.

At least.......................................

You camwhore with me and make me look nicer in them! (because I am juxtaposed to an uglier you!) :D HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


You are as BIG a camwhore as I am so whenever somebody accuses me of being the GREATEST camwhore ever I can snap back and say, "Well, YOU HAVEN'T MET MY SISTER!" :D

You don't look abit like me (or should I say, I don't look abit like you?) so we can pretend to be friends of the same age so you wouldn't be embarrassed by having to admit that you are baby sitting your little (HAH the irony. LITTLE?!) sister while you go shopping! :D

So, I want to wish this OLD 20 year old WOMAN..................

FIVE TIMES because you OLD and I love the banner! :D

Thanks for the 17 years of allowing me to be the more pampered and spoilt daughter of Alan Tan Wai Seng and Juliet Chan Sway Keng. Heh. At least I gave you THREE COMPLETE YEARS devoid of me and my whiny demands okay.

Love you and may you always be the April Tan Han Yee everybody came (and will come and erm, are coming wtf) to love and pamper! ;)

Ciao!

Gulps. My first song.

Okay. This is my seven thousand eight hundred and fifty sixth attempt at writing a song and FIRST success at finishing ONE! :D

The inspiration for this song is erm, a guy, I've known for a VERY short period of time and erm, I decided to call this song The Wrong Guy because well, he is.

I am going to admit that I quite like the song but I sound TERRIBLE singing it. Haha. Ayor some people are not born singers okay. And there's some voice glitch at 2.05 (among other parts) and I sound EXTREMELY HORRIBLE so please forgive me. :D Instead of listening to my voice, listen to the song okay? Okay. :D

It is also quite soft so I suggest earphones at maximum volume.

So in the words of Janelle, watch/listen/click at your own risk:

Here are the lyrics:

(No wait. Before that let me clarify that I TOO think that the lyrics suck because I was so excited at actually finishing a song that I didn't consider the lyrics. But then when I finally wanted to change them, no words fit anymore!)

(So please hor, don't laugh at my cliched words.)

The Wrong Guy

Verse 1
You will never know when you fall in love
With the wrong guy
At the wrong time
You go to school and think that everything's fine
Till he walks by
And catches your eye

Pre-chorus
You try to smile back but he turns his back on you
You feel like a fool
The next time he walks by
You swear that you will never look

Chorus
But there he goes with his brown hair
His gorgeous eyes
The sexy smile
The way he stares, it makes me scared
I look away
But my mind stays

Verse 2
You know it's stupid but you don't realise
He's the wrong guy
It's the wrong time
Could this be the time that you finally see
The real him

Pre-chorus
You try to forget but it's harder to be done than said
The next time he walks by
You swear that you won't lose your head

Chorus x2

Bridge
Is it only safe
To stay away
Is it only right
For me to hide
Why won't he see
That we could be...

Chorus x1

But then I go and talk to him
I tell him so that we could be
He gives a smile and pulls me in
And then he ends it with a kiss

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS LIVE IN MALAYSIA

I just subscribed to DigiMusic to reserve my ticket for The All-American Rejects live in Malaysia! :D I cannot believe I considered missing this gig because it is going to be really close to when SPM starts! I mean, how could I have forsaken:

1. AAR music. The most important point. WHEN DID SPM GET IN THE WAY OF AAR??? Never! (Okay maybe yes, if it's on the actual day of SPM)
2. Tyson. Nick. Mike. Chris. Swing swinggggggggggg!
3. Nick Wheeler. I still REFUSE to admit that I have given him to Ash.
4. Tyson's flourescent yellow RELA coloured singlet!
5. Tyson's glitter!!!!!!!!!!!
6. Tyson's dramatic acts on stage!!!
7. AAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. ONE BUCK SHORT!
10. Oh my God!

You see. Ten complete reasons for me to go for this concert! Plus the ticket is free for all Digi users! :D And it's free standing so I am going to be there like ten hours early to secure the best spot! But the problem is I will have to redeem my ticket by TOMORROW. Crazy not. Now I have to persuade my Mummy to take me to Sunway Pyramid TOMORROW to collect the ticket. I even called Digi Customer Service Hotline (016-2211800) to ask if I can extend the period of collection but Mr Muthu said sorry, I couldn't. -_-

And then I will have to persuade my Mum to let me GO to the gig. Oh gosh. Wish me luck.

Those who are interested, (DIGI USERS):

Type ON MUSIC and send to 2000. Please be noted that a charge of RM5.00 will be issued for the subscription.

And then when you get a message confirming your subscription, type ON AAR and send to 2000. You will receive a message requesting you to redeem your ticket within a certain period of time. (Different period for different people in accordance to the time sms is sent. So don't worry, I may have to collect my ticket by tomorrow, but your collection period might be till the end of this week!)

Redemption locations will either be:

1. Near escalator leading to TGV cinema in SUNWAY PYRAMID
2. Near GSC in One Utama

Damn I sound like a machine. It's sad that I'm not hired to do blog advertorials. I would do them even if I don't get paid! ): My blog is boring. -_- Need to find ways to make it more interesting...

Ciao! And see you there if you're also going for AAR! :D

MAJOR UPDATE:
My sister went to Sunway Pyramid just now and asked about the AAR ticket and the Digi person told her that the ticket can be collected ANYTIME as long as it's BEFORE THE CONCERT!!! MR MUTHU!!! WHY YOU LIE TO MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! D: D: D:

BACK FROM SALLY'S! ;D

I don't know why but everytime I'm in my coloured contacts, my vision seems alittle blurrier than when I'm in my specs. I checked the power for both and they are the same. But when I'm in contacts and looking at the PC, for instance NOW, I seem to lose focus even easier and more frequent. Like while I'm looking at this thing for two seconds, the next thing I know, my eyes are kind of like twisted or something, and I see a blurred vision but then it goes back to normal. This happens every five minutes or so. SCARRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

That's why I always change into my spces when I blog. You know how I hate being seen in specs, (except for when I go to school. I don't see the point of having nice eyes when I'm enswathed in such ugly turquoise rags) so you know how much this blurry vision thing freaks me.

In case you haven't been keeping up, I've been gone for a week. Stayed at Sally's house. And now I am back. Got lots of souvees from Mummy and sister from Australia but was offended when they got me the I ♥ MELBOURNE Teeshirt in men's XS rather than a women's L. -_- I may be big, but I am a big WOMAN. Not a SMALL man. I want to have curves (which I do please) and I am sure I can fit into a women's L or XL! ):

But it's okay I still love the things I got. (: Keychain, bag, pencil case, chocolates, Koalabear necklace (so cute!) Teeshirt etc. :D

Anyway, I don't really feel like blogging right now. And am kind of pissed with Mummy cos she has only stepped on Malaysian soil for like, two hours after being away (FROM MEEEE) for a week but she has now gone to my Uncle's place to play Mahjong. -_- I ask you, you angry not.

Never mind la, I want to go and watch You're Hired (I'm so sad the series ended! Thank God for Astro On Demand! :D) now because eventhough Mak Tai Song is not what you call a total hottie, the roles he play in his shows are so CHARMING! :D I love him! ;)

So ciao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS> Decided to change to Segoe UI. Prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

MY DAD GOT STOPPED BY A POLICEMAN WHO HAD THE AUDACITY TO ASK FOR UNDERTABLE MONEY!

I know right! I feel so bummed that I wasn't there to witness it! So according to my sister, this was what happened:

My Dad was in his car, you know, swerving left and right because the traffic was damn slow and dumb. But my Dad was doing it legally and then he reached this one point where there was a police road block. Because I guess it was a seasonal period, so there were more jobs going on.

So when my Dad arrived at the policeman, the policeman scanned the car. The first policeman did not stop my Dad though and waved for him to drive on. So my Dad did. HOWEVER, the SECOND policeman, for some reason beyond me (and my sister), stopped my Dad's car and ordered for him to stop by the side and wind down the window.

My Dad was cursing though, as is the normal reaction of anyone when stopped by a policeman (okay, not everyone but still). So the policeman told my Dad, "Sir," he started, "I saw that you were driving not very carefully and overtaking a number of cars," only though, the policeman was saying all this in Malay. My Dad just looked at him.

So the policeman, wearing his stupid uniform (with his "Katakan tidak kepada rasuah!" badge pinned to his stupid chest no doubt. Have to check with my sis) had the nerve to put on his bribe-soliciting move:

So, macam mana, boss?

My sister, having not been in a situation like this before (you know, my Dad and a policeman) genuinely thought that my Dad, (sadly) like all other Malaysians, was going to pay him some pocket money so that he wouldn't issue the summon.

But to my sister's (and mine too when my sister reported this back to me) GLORIOUS SURPRISE my Dad shouted to the policeman in a voice so manly it sounded unlike his own (or was it because of what the words that followed meant?):

Macam mana? SAMAN la!

WOO-HOOOO! Tell me, is your Dad as yeng as mine? He totally bashed the policeman in his stupid greedy face and ordered for a SUMMON to be issued to him! I ask you, have you ever witnessed such a VICTORIOUS event or not?!??!

I have been trying for years and years to get the people around me to STOP bribing as that is one of the biggest problems with our government today but to no avail as these people I try to change are often adults who are a generation ahead of me. (my mum, aunt etc) -_- Seriously la, do you know when I went to Singapore once and took their cab, what the driver said to me?

He, KNOWING that I was Malaysian, because he asked where I was from (I didn't know how he could tell I wasn't Singaporean. Because Malaysia and Singapore used to be a country and so the people there wouldn't look any different. I think the way I asked for directions gave it away gua), said to my face, "Oh, Malaysia. The country known for its corruption problem."

I am not even kidding. He said that to me. TO ME FACE. And so I was forced to admit back to his face (and mine) that, "It's true." (well, something like that, I cannot remember exactly what I replied)

YOU SEE. Sia sui or not! So Malaysians, please la.

When you make a mistake on the road and get issued a summon, please pay the summon as your punishment. WHO ASK YOU TO SPEED/NOT STOP ON RED LIGHT/SMOKE/MAKE CALLS WHEN YOU DRIVE???? Actions come with their consequences, please.

And so LET'S SAY you're like my Dad who did nothing wrong but was stopped anyway, then be a HERO like my Dad and SHOUT at the policeman's face to be issued a summon! Don't give the policeman the satisfaction by giving him undertable money! Make them feel embarrassed that they dared to even ASK! Prove that you are not like the other stupid bribe-paying victims the policeman eyed upon! It's the only way we're going to be able to curb corruption!

RM200++ summon is nothing compared to a whole country free of corruption! Say YES to summo - I mean say NO to RASUAH!

MALAYSIA BOLEH! :D

Can you BELIEVE it?

I cannot believe this. I mean, can you? ME, TAN JO YEE Truancy Queen and Super-shopper (so-called) refusing a trip to Australia with my family because I decided to stay at home to sit for my SPM trials?! Well, I don’t know about you but I haven’t completely comprehended this very shocking decision (ironaiclly) I decided upon.

Is this maturity? Given if this was last time, I would have just gone to Australia without feeling even an OUNCE of guilt whatsoever. Or rather, I would be bawling like a crazy person for having to remain in Malaysia to sit for my trial exams while everybody goes to have fun in a FOREIGN country (a rarity in the household of Tan). I totally wouldn’t be sitting HERE, typing THIS, feeling totally CALM and not at all UPSET.

Okay fine, I mean I am a little upset, but it’s not entirely because of that fact that I can’t go to Australia. It’s the fact that for 8 whole days, I wouldn’t have the company of my closest relatives (my Mum or sister) by my side so I wouldn’t have anyone to turn to when I start missing home or whatever! And I can’t even CALL them seeing as how they are in another country and I don’t sign up for roaming for my phone line.

Did I mention that I am going to stay at my friend Sally’s house? I'm leaving tomorrow. I guess this is one thing I really look forward to, you know, since Sally is such a sweetheart and all and we have known each other for half our lives. But it irks me that I would be paying NONE for my lodging and accommodation at her house because Sally’s family doesn’t want me to give them any money! They say that I will always be welcome in their household and if I do insist on paying, they wouldn’t let me come! I KNOW. GOT NICER PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD NOT. I DON’T THINK SO. T__T

So, being 8 days away from my house means 8 days away from my PC means 8 days away from blogging means www.joeyjoeldavid.blogspot.com will be on hiatus for 8 days. I solemnly wish to be inundated with sweet messages and I-miss-you notes when I finally return to check my mails. Thank you very much. =D

Okay finish. Continue next story.

I just finished my stupid MORAL paper today and as usual it sucked because I once again failed to properly memorise whether or not it’s atau or dan or serta or whatever shit it is for certain nilais. But luckily when I checked later I got everything right. PHEW. And yesterday I had my English paper and I tell you, it was the WORSE ENGLISH PAPER I have ever had in the history of my life.

Let’s talk about Paper 1 first okay? Okay.

I am not going to complain much about Section A because I have always hated that part anyway and so I did not expect anything good. And so the impact wasn’t so bad when I read that I had to write a speech (boring) entitled “Helping the Poor”. It was not bad because I got to use words like ‘philanthropy’ and sorts in my essay which would impress my teacher (her English is BAD so that simple word may seem like a good vocab to her. I mean, HOW many English teachers can you find that pronounce ‘ancestors’ as and-chest-ters? Or ‘coyote’ as co-yot? I am serious).

The next part is Section B of course and I tell you, I spent about fifteen minutes trying to decide which question to write because just look:

1. Describe a painful lesson. (I wanted to write about my blog making my Mum cry and all but I realise that was a little too personal for public reading BY MY TEACHER)
2. 'A famous person lives a better life without problems'. To what extent do you think this statement is true? (Can you believe it? Something school-related is ACTUALLY talking about Hollywood)
3. Write a story about ‘The Unexpected Visitor’. (yawn)
4. How to be a good shopper/shop wisely? (HAHA this is such a joke I am like the worse shopper ever. My theory – buy whatever you like as long as it’s cheap. DON’T CARE whether or not it’s necessary because an opportunity gone will never come back. Talking from experience)
5. Leadership. (double yawn)

So guess which one I decided on?

OF COURSE it’s about Hollywood right. I don’t watch channel E! Entertainment 24 hours a day for no good reason okay. I mean, there are so many points!

1. Constant hounding of persistent paparazzi, robbing famous people of their privacy.
2. High expectations. Just because you are earning millions, you are automatically removed from ‘Normal-People List’.
3. Have to face baseless assumptions about yourself and your life and not fight back because there isn’t an official law that can be used to charge against these presumptuous paparazzi. (kinda like blogging too, if you think about it. Lifeless people tend to judge you baselessly)
4. Exposed to being the conspicuous target of hostage-holders, kidnappers, robbers because you would be able to pay glorious ransom.

And the most fun part is I got to use celebrity stories as elaboration and example! :D

1. No privacy (how Angelina Jolie’s adoption of Maddox went public when she had wanted it to be private)
2. High expectations (If you’re Elton John, the footage of you LITTERING will undoubtedly get more coverage than a serial-killer on the loose)
3. Baseless assumptions (Poor Michael Jackson had had to live with the stigma of being a narcissistic metro sexual male celebrity who betrayed his own race by turning white. I, of course, choose to believe that MJ was actually suffering from a weird skin disease and his nose-job was done because he broke his nose when he got involved in an accident while shooting a commercial that one time)
4. Exposed to danger (I didn’t really write an example for this because I cannot figure out if there is any celebrity who had been kidnapped before or even had been CLOSE to being kidnapped)

I hope my English teacher takes the time to read my WHOLE essay rather than canceling out the part after the 351st word. She keeps saying that for Section B, we aren’t allowed to write more than 350 words! I tell you, sick or not! For all the Section B essays I have written my whole life, I have NEVER once NOT have that stupid zigzag line right after my 350th word. And so the evaluation for my essays all this while have always been only for HALF my essay! Doesn’t she understand that when a writer is on a roll she barely even has time to look at the time let alone LIMIT her words to 350??? What can you even SAY in 350 words??? I think the first two paragraphs in my essay already make up 350 words. -_-

PAPER 2 IS WORSE I TELL YOU. THE OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS SUCKED THE INFORMATION TRANSFER PART SUCKED THE COMPREHENSION SUCKED THE SUMMARY SUCKED THE NOVEL PART ALSO SUCKED!!! D:

But whatever la, I hope to obtain a GOOD A1 this time around because the last time I only got 80 for my English! (because of my summary I suck at summary I HATE summary wtf)

Goodnight. Ciao.
