Cross-eyed kampung girl and the mystery of the missing "THE DARKNESS" cd!

i don't know why i'm so sleepy now... barely can open my eyes or even focus them... anyway, i had a hair cut today! i now sit here with a fringe which barely passes my eyebrows and hair reaching just below my shoulders. i was pretty shocked when the hairdresser cut my fringe... cause i haven't had a fringe since lower primary school! my mom said i looked like a little girl just came out from the "kampung"... what a great "compliment" huh? anyway, we went to ah yee's house after that... and ah yee said i looked younger... i was planning for a more mature look and now i end up looking even younger! i'm tired of people not taking me seriously...

anyway we saw a chinese movie called "flying daggers" or something like that... starring andy lau, takeshi kaneshiro and zhang ziyi... on ah yee's new 41" projection tv (which CL bought for them when he came back from uk)...now they have a really good home theatre system! anyway it was a typical "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" genre kind of a movie.

the other day i managed to convert some songs into mp3 files and cut the songs and upload them into my phone!!! so now i have 1 minute of "i believe in a thing called love" by the darkness and 56 seconds of "velvet sky" by los lonely boys on my hand phone! my current ring tone is the latter... i had a hard time finding the software that could cut the songs up... i tried the sony ericsson sound editor (but the files were in wav form... lousy sound quality), then i opened cakewalk sonar (but it was too complicated to work with) and finally i stumbled upon nero wave editor! and i was able to do what i wanted to do!!! i only wished that my phone had a larger memory so i could save the whole song instead of just fractions of it... anyway, i learnt something new that day...

arghh... david hassid is dead!!! one of my favourite characters from the left behind series was murdered in petra by 2 boil-covered GC peacekeepers! (book 9) he was alone and unarmed! shot in the head a couple of times and flung over the rocks! and he had unresolved issues with nurse hannah palemoon!!! but i liked the part where the angel michael came to heal rayford's ears and assure them that God will take care of them in this war...

about 1 and 1/2 years ago, LK misplaced "the darkness" cd (and it was one of the first few to come to malaysia... the cover wasn't censored yet!) and from then on up till recently, we've been looking high and low for it sporadically (when we felt like listening to them... but we burned a copy from a friend to replace it... and that copy nearly got lost a few days ago!)... LK always assured me that it was somewhere in his room, it was just a matter of finding it... however, yesterday we found out that the cd is actually in UK!!! it has travelled across seas without our knowledge (in fact, travelled back to its homeland... hmmm)... it's in CL's place in liverpool!!! LK must've put our cd into one of the many records that ah yee brought over to uk while visiting CL... and so the mystery of the missing "the darkness" cd has been solved with a rather peculiar tale behind it...
