Through the monsoon, just me and you.

She introduced this band, Tokio Hotel, to me sometime ago and I decided to listen to the song that she sent me through e-mail last night. She was raving about this band and the song in her blog for quite some time so I just decided to give it a listen and ...

Wrong move.

I'm damn hooked onto the song and you're hearing it on my blog right now. And the video on top, yeah it's their official MTV for the song, Monsoon.

The weird thing about this band is that it eats to you, be it the androgynous looks of the lead singer or the bad boy vibe that the guitarist gives. It just eats into you and makes you swoon. Probably that's because their twin brothers and they both look equally hot and yummy too.

Match it up with the feminine and gentle yet strong and powerful vocals of the lead singer and that's it. This band is a killer.

I think the lead singer, Bill Kaulitz really resembles hide in the photo above. Photos below are Tom Kaulitz, the older brother of Bill Kaulitz and he's the guitarist for Tokio Hotel. And yes, I know Tom looks younger than Bill who is supposedly to be the younger brother.

And I quote Cynthia, it's really makes you want him to sing you to bed. For me, he pulled me out of reality and into a dream. I seriously was imagining some kind of story between the two twin brothers and me. Like their both horribly in love with me and they're fighting over me. Putting me in a difficult spot and I don't know who to choose.

I know it's cheesy but whatever. I already have a script in my head already and I've planned the setting and the scenes and the characters involved etc. I'm gonna make a movie script out of this. Don't laugh cos' I'm not kidding.

It sucks to know I have wild imaginations and creative juices but I always fail to pen them down and to develop it into a storyline. Be it from dreams or fantasies that I had, I really should do it this time.

And plus, this song is seriously kick ass and I love his vocals too. I wanna use it in the movie that I have in my mind.

Another song which I like from Tokio Hotel.

1000 Oceans - Tokio Hotel

Anyway, as much as I like both brothers, I have a slight unexplainable thing for the lead singer probably because of his vocals and the fact that he really resembles hide! The more I look at his photos, the more I think they're really alike.

A random fact about the twins, Bill is two centimeters taller than Tom, his older brother. Bill is 182 cm and Tom is 180 cm.

Oh my gwad. I love tall men.

Check out Cynthia's post if you wanna see what she says! :)

Who's my Santa this Christmas?

Back to blogging because I feel much better after a shower. A shower with lots and lots of water! At least, I bothered to make myself feel better. :)

Met up with the girls on Wednesday over at Thomson Plaza cos' Lynnda's working that night. We had bar chor mee for dinner and went over to Lynnda's workplace after that.

We wrote down our wish list for Christmas and drew lots to see who's gonna buy for who. I can't say whose wish list I drew from the lot until the day itself but I can share with you all a stupid thing I did.

We were told to write down 3 items that we hope to get for Christmas and each item is worth 50 bucks. The person who's going to be Santa will select one out of the three. This will somehow be a surprise for the receiver too. But due to how smart I could get, I thought we had to write down three gifts that totals up to 50 bucks! So now the person who's gonna be my Santa can choose to get any items which cost less than 20 bucks for me! Unless my Santa has a heart and will get all three for me.

My Santa, please get all three for me or I'll feel really miserable this Christmas. Thank you. :)

Zouk was insane on Wednesday night.

Insane because I have never seen this much people at zouk on a Wednesday night. The amount of people at Zouk was seriously crazy. It's more packed than a canned sardine. Don't even mention having the space to dance, I don't even have any space to walk. I know it's ladies night and there will be a massive crowd since it's the school holidays but as much as the crowd you see at Chinatown during the Chinese new year season? Kinda overwhelming for me.

And I can't believe the baggage was full at Zouk for the first time.

Claire left for butterfactory with her boyfriend and friends as soon as we reached cos' it's too packed and all of us can't get into phuture anymore. Brenda, Regan and me choose to stayed on to mambo at Zouk and Pearlyn didn't join us for the night cos' she fell sick (get well soon, babe!). Ronn and his friends managed to get into both phuture and Zouk early so we decided to hang around with them.

Basically, we had fun although we had some hiccups along the way. Got to befriend a nice bouncer who's very friendly too. Happens to be Claire's friend as well. It's a small world, after all. :)

No pictures from Zouk but I just uploaded a truck load from my camera. A lot of overdue ones in fact.

Anyway, you can hop over to my facebook if you wanna check out photos from the Taiwan/HK trip! All uploaded.

A little preview.

It's just the album cover for the Taiwan/HK photos. Can't upload everything over to blogger cos' it'll take years. I have almost a thousand of them! Can you imagine how long it'll take if I were to upload all?

More overdue photos coming up soon.

For the first time in my life, I actually cried to a hip-hop song. Don't ask me why.

Only you'll know.

Now, please shoot me dead.

Lonely, lonely christmas.

I'm having hunger pangs from time to time and it's evolving into gastric right now but I don't have any appetite at all even though I know there's food on the table.

2008 is coming to an end soon but why is my life crashing on me now? Can I still hope for a better 2009?

X'mas is around the corner and it's the season of giving. People are all feeling jolly and merry and they're basking in this joyous mood. Doing their x'mas shopping and preparing for this upcoming x'mas for a joyous celebration.

But I feel the exact opposite.

The world is revolving and everyone's moving on. I have difficulties catching up and I'm staying stagnant at the same spot.

What should be my next step?

How many heartstrings must you sever?

Good morning.

I'm here not because I just woke up but it's because I haven't turn in yet.

I spent the whole night (including the day as well) sourcing for the right blog skin and after looking through more than a hundred, I finally settled down with this. I know it's a simple skin but it's just what I'm looking for. I love the fonts and I realise I weigh the fonts more than the design itself these days. There's a lot more pretty ones but they're all in the queue now for the next change.

I still remember the term that Ronn told me - Simplicity is deep.

I had to spend hours on end deciding which skin is the one that I really want. Which one is the one that I'm looking for. I thought that simple designs should be easy when it comes to decision making, but I was wrong. The more simple the design, the harder it is to see the difference and the beauty of each. This makes it harder for me to select the skins that really describes this blog right now.

My life is complicated enough, I just want to find back the simplicity in life for now.

How I wish I was a blank piece of paper, with no marks or scrawls. Just a plain white piece of paper. But I guess, there's too much marks and scrawls this time and it can't be erased anymore. It's too much sight for anyone to take.

You should just rip this paper apart.
