Issue Ombak Rindu Lagi...

Sebagai seorang Librarian, menyusun Newspaper merupakan salah satu tugas harian. I always ended up membacanya, or at least scan je. I read something interesting about Ombak Rindu on yesterday's issue of Utusan Malaysia. Written by Abd. Aziz Itar, the article mengulas mengenai fenomena filem yang diadaptasi daripada novel dimana ianya menyentuh about the financial and copyright issue of Ombak Rindu. The fact is... the film "Ombak Rindu" existed solely because of the author and of course the book publisher, however, they were paid RM4000 je sebagai bayaran untuk mengangkat novel tu ke filem, yang mana Penulis mendapat 40% daripada jumlah...

Felt Neglected...

I've been spending my free leisure time online; I've fallen for so many internet forums and one stood out for me compared to the others. However, as of late, the network has turned strange to me. The environment no longer grab my interested. I've a job, and yet I feel like I don't have it at all, not with these new colors flying around me. One said I should do this, one said I shouldn't be doing so. One said it like command, and one said it like my words are just words. *sighs*...

I'm So Seriously Pissed!

As it turned out; a good life tends to be short-lived. My interest for US version of X Factor is fastly deteriorating, and after the first live show, I never turned it on again. When it comes to UK X Factor... Marcus and Craig are my musics; the only two who never disappoint me since day 1. Miss Janet Devlin has turned from Angel to somewhat a child with a tantrum like devil. I haven't watched the latest live show of UK X Factor, but I do know the result. Seriously! I thought Craig was going to win the entire show (or second only to Marcus) but as it turned out, he got the least number of vote compared to all the other contestant. What's...

Continuous X Factor Episodes: Life is Good!

It's obvious that I'm so into X Factor these days. At first, I don't think I'm going to bother watching the US version but apparently, I couldn't help myself. I was curious about the talent (and the judges) in the US... I don't have much to say about the US X Factor. Most of the contestants are pretty forgettable to me, other than the girl who was the first to sing on the first episode of the Audition show, the guy who just got our of rehab and the 17 years old girl who doesn't look 17 at all. Oh, and the girl with HUGE lips. However, as memorable their performances were, I don't remember their name and I don't want to be bothered searching...

The Good Old Small Days

It's been 5 months since the final episode of Smallville aired, and I'm still into it. For some strange reasons, I found myself typing "Smallville" whenever I tried to browse for stuff on the internet. I always ended up asking why I did what I did. I was excited for Smallville to end before the show ended, and now I found myself missing it; I'd watch an episode once a week, at the very least. Smallville was probably one of the best Sci-Fi TV shows ever created, and for that reason, I'm always grateful for the duos, Al Gough and Miles Millar. I was never into a TV series the way I was with Smallville... However, I don't really think that...

X Factor UK - Part 2

I don't think I miss Simon Cowell. The guy, Gary Barlow gave comments similar to Simon's, however, he was always nice. He's using so many words that Simon's famous for, and the way he said it. lol... and he's very sarcastic! I'm loving the judging panel for this season. :) Marcus Collins' audition  - Very friendly and he can sing! He has a pretty "free" voice; he doesn't need to try so hard with his voice... and I do love the audience. :D Jonjo Kerr's audition - This is unexpected, but I really do like this audition. Amelia Lily's audition - I think she's good, but I don't get the song. lol John Adams'...

X Factor UK - Part 1

I'm really hooked!! I've been watching the clips uploaded by itv on youtube since I've done my job few hours ago... and here are my thoughts! Janet Devlin's audition  - She's a very sweet girl! Very cute voice and you can hear how nervous she was. It's endearing to see this shy person getting standing ovation from the crowd and the judges. Johnny Robinson's audition - This guy makes me smile and cry at the same time. He has the same personality as Jean Martyn of the Britain's Got Talent; very pleasant and always full of joy. He makes people very happy... and he can sing too! Derry Mensah's audition - I...

Into The X Factor

I'm in my youtube video browsing at since... a few hours ago. I was so busy these past two days. My work is done now, so I get to watch some youtube videos. Yay! I'm currently into the X Factor UK, after seeing Joe McElderry's audition. I discover another very talented person. His name is Matt Cardle. I think his best performance was when he sung The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Such a wonderful voice and the performance made me teary somehow... and apparently, he's the winner for the 7th season. I think I'm over my Joe McElderry zone now. However, I'm so hooked with the UK Reality Show, X Factor. I'm on its 8th Season now (via YouTube...

Joe McElderry in "Popstar to Operastar"

So... I'm so into Joe McElderry at the moment. I ended up watching every clip of his performances in "Popstar to Operastar". I don't understand Opera, but I do like hearing the performers' majestic voice when I stumble upon it... Joe McElderry - Una Furtiva Lagrima Joe McElderry - La Donna E Mobile The next one... I've heard of this song before. Paul Potts sang this in Britain's Got Talent. I'm not comparing Joe with Paul; I think they both have their own flavour in this song and were great at it, though, I admit that I cried when I first saw Paul Potts sang this. Joe McElderry - Nessun Dorma Joe Mcelderry - Granada A...

Joe McElderry

Once again, I'm jobless at the moment. Well -- the day has started off a bit hectic, and by a bit, I really meant a LOT. I had so much to do this morning, up until a few minutes ago, actually. At one point, I noticed that most of my co-workers walked towards the exit door. I turned to my best co-worker and asked if there's any meeting at the Headquarter today. He looked at me weirdly and told me it's already noon... and only then I realised that I most of the population in the office have already gone. I guess I really was busy. Now that I have extra time to spare with the company's internet connection, I'm trying to see something new at...

In a Dilemma

I'm in a dilemma since yesterday. Who would have thought that buying a handphone would take up much of your thoughts. You work, and you think about it... You're about to sleep and it crept into your head when it's so rare for you to actually think of anything when you're about to go to bed. By you, I meant me. I'm all alone in my kitchen now. (sigh) Need to clean up the house yet again... P.S: I really am addicted to Adele's song n...

I'm calling you...

As I stared at the very busy scenery while I drove few minutes ago, a thought crept into my very lazy head. I'm thinking of calling this new blog... Ness. It's funny because everything that has been happening since this morning was all random. I never thought that I'd start blogging (I've had a blog before but NEVER actually make it into something... very personal) and now I'm doing it. It's funny that the name I thought of, kind of, being deprived from the name Nessie which is short for Renesmee, who happens to be one of my favorite characters in “Breaking Dawn”. Anyways… So, now this blog is called Ness. I’m going be talking to you soon.  P. S: My writing is getting rusty. I’ve been writing in Malay since I started working about five months ago, which is a great thing too. However,...

Lets do this again

I am familiar with blogger before I created this new blog, however, I was never so keen writing about my personal life in public. My old blog was basically where I would pour my heart out about my passion, which was Smallville. Now that Smallville is already over, I'd like to try and talk about other stuff. It's 1.15 P.M in Brunei now, and I'm extremely tired. I'm on my lunch break now and I'm not planning on feeding myself for another 5 hours or so. I really need to lose some more weight. Signing off now - try to listen to more songs by Adele. I'm addict...
