"They are not just ordinary backyard school bullies – at just 14 and 16, they are already hardcore gangsters and now, sadistic rapists."

"They strike terror among their schoolmates and even the teachers, and residents in the two neighbourhoods near the school live in fear of them."

"She said the boys had even vandalised her husband’s car and thrown stones into her house."

“They also use vulgar words liberally,” she added.

“During one of their drinking sessions, they pelted me with stones when I questioned them. They told me to mind my own business and threatened to assault me,” he said, adding that he gave photographs of the students to the school management but no action had been taken."

"Checks showed that graffiti depicted the gangs’ triad numbers on the walls of the school."

"The bullies also damaged vehicles parked in the school grounds, smashing windscreens and vandalising cars belonging to teachers."

“Happy hour” sessions are on every Friday afternoon next to the cemetery.

"Violent attacks, rapes and drunken binges by schoolboys spewing four-letter words are all common in this school."

"And it’s not just fellow students who are afraid. Residents outside the school are equally afraid of these schoolboy gang members."

If there's something strange in your neighborhood. Who ya gonna call?

Yankumi and Onizuka

I can't help thinking this after reading the articles.

Joking aside, I can't believe teenagers nowadays are so daring. It's sad.


At work, let's just say I didn't get the department I wanted, and I'm alone here. But I'll make the best out of it. =)
Needs ranting session badly!

Went Youtube-surfing and found this:



19mil views must say something right?

The kid even went on Ellen, and got a call from Lady Gaga herself!

*cleans dust*

Yeah.. sorry for abandoning you my poor lil blog. 24 hours is not enough for me to allocate time 30 minutes for you.

And I'm just being lazy.

Anyway, life at 'work' is so far so good. Technically it's because I've not started work yet. Three weeks work of training done. Another three days next week. THEN I start the work. And say byebye to life.

I have some pretty nice and cool colleagues here. So I am VERY glad that I can actually mix well with most of them. Phewwwww.

The bad thing is that we still don't know which department we will be going to yet. Well, training cannot go on forever. Everyone's gonna have to survive on their own soon. I'm just hoping at least one of them goes to the same dept as me. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee.

Here's what I did for three weeks:
7.15 wake up
7.45 breakfast
10.30 tea break
1.00 lunch break
3.30 tea break
6.00 finish class
7.00 dinner

Like 5 meals a day! Hello there kilograms! How long will you be staying? =D
Meals consists of curry, curry, rice, curry, rice and uh... more curry. And some of colleagues have been taking ice cream from the icebox thinking it's free when they suddenly discovered last week that they had to pay for it all along.

Everything else is free, why not the ice cream? Tsk.
yan
First day of work tomorrow! Feeling happy and sad.
yan
The day has come and gone!

*Yes, thank you Peel Fresh for the free fan. It was HOT and STUFFY all the way but you made it better. Even Kelly was commenting on how she was sweating.*


I went with my fellow fans, Tantan and Brenddie! I'm sorry girls but this was the only group pic I have...

Thank God for Star LRT, Bukit Jalil was just a train ride away.

Concert was scheduled to start at 8pm. So we went a lil bit early and sat inside the stadium. All of us didn't bring in cameras because we thought they would conduct bag checks and keep our cameras if they did find any. THEY DIDN'T. We regretted, but we had phones with cameras anyway, while the photos are not really clear (3.2...) I could somewhat fully enjoy the concert without worrying about taking photos.

The same could not be said about a father and daughter pair sitting in front of us. The father was busy snapping away pictures of her daughter having fun. So much that Tantan and Brenddie got jealous. Right? =P

Bren, you should totally follow your dad to the Deep Purple concert! Nyahaha.


The view from our RM198 seat. It was a level higher than the stage but it was okay as there were 2 screens. And we were center enough to see her and the band.

As we were early and already seated, Natalie from Hitz.fm was busy entertaining everyone with free posters. But because we paid less and was therefore a level higher, the poster she threw couldn't reach us.

Besides posters, they also decided to launch a balloon avalanche on us. Situated all the way at the top level were a lot of balloons held up by a net. They decided to release them suddenly without warning.


Thanks to Sony Ericsson for the surprise balloons! Everyone was busy throwing them forward. It's amazing to see how many balloons were falling from the sky.

Then, the opening acts came on! Punctual as well. 8pm sharp wei...

Jaclyn Victor, winner of Malaysian Idol sang a medley and Suki, winner of One in a Million sang a Malay song and played a little violin, which Tantan commented it was rather 'unskillfully". I have to say that while being somewhat out of place, Suki's dress was very very nice. There was a red ruffle madness going on. But me likey. I read on a blog (Google does wonders) that her dress costs RM15,000. But for Kelly Clarkson's concert? I felt she chose the wrong clothes to put on that evening. Kelly Clarkson herself wore only a black top, a skirt and leggings for the whole duration of her concert.

Which ran for only 1 and a half hours (a bit short, I want more! XD)...

Jaclyn's voice was great. I listened to her live before (thanks to Tantan) and I was hoping she would sing some of Kelly's songs as well but she only sang one song that night. The crowd was cheering pretty loud for her too. You can tell the difference between cheers for Suki and her.

Crappy photo coming through... It is actually nearer than it looks. My phone's camera is meh.

The main act! She sounded really great live. She rocked out the whole concert with hardly any breaks in between. As her birthday was on the 24th, some of the crowd started singing her a birthday song (although it was partially drowned out by the cheers and the music of the next song that was starting to play) and she acknowleged their efforts! Way to go Malaysia! And she proudly announced that she turned 28.

She also went barefooted throughout the concert - skipping, hopping and bouncing to her own music. She sang her famous songs from all her albums that night. The set list for her Asian tour (thanks to Wikipedia):

  1. All I Ever Wanted
  2. Miss Independent
  3. I Do Not Hook Up
  4. Impossible
  5. That I Would Be Good (Alanis Morissette cover)/Use Somebody (Kings of Leon cover)
  6. Breakaway
  7. If I Can't Have You/Can't Get You Out of My Head (Kylie Minogue cover)
  8. Never Again
  9. Lies (The Black Keys cover)
  10. Tonight I Wanna Cry (Keith Urban Cover)
  11. Acoustic Medley
    1. Just Missed The Train
    2. Low
    3. Addicted
    4. Gone
  12. Behind These Hazel Eyes (Acoustic)
  13. Cry
  14. I Want You
  15. Don't Let Me Stop You
  16. Because of You
  17. Maybe
  18. Walk Away
  19. Since U Been Gone

Encore:

  1. Already Gone
  2. Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes cover)
  3. My Life Would Suck Without You
This was roughly it. I'm not really sure about some of the songs as I don't know some of the songs that she covered.

I really enjoyed the concert! Didn't regret going at all (trade-off for Video Games Live, which I heard was really great as well. Please come next year?) The fun part was when she sang and the crowd starting to go wild and sing along to her songs. Then once in a while she would point the microphone out towards the crowd and let us sing. Feel the love~

One thing is the sound system. Everything was really loud and I could feel my seats shaking and my hearing was a bit muffled up a while into the concert. We were also lucky it didn't rain, but even if it did, the outdoor stadium has a roof! =D

I am thankful that I have never been to any Asian concerts before, as I heard that the concerts last for 3 hours with many costume changes and dancers on a big stage with many entry points. Kelly's stage might pale in comparison to that, but her 3 guitarists, 2 backup singers, a drummer and a DJ were enough to deliver a great energetic performance.

To sum everything up, like I said on my FB status:

Kelly Clarkson nearly made me deaf, but it a good way.

If you don't know what a flying lizard is...

... it's perfectly alright. Because they are just a figment of my imagination.

You see, the last thing I saw before I went to sleep yesterday night was Lady (my kitty) toying/torturing/having a taste/mocking/haha-ing a baby lizard.

NEWS FLASH: They are my nemesis. So as cruel as it may be, I am actually glad my cat caught one. One less to worry about.

nem·e·sis (nm-ss)
n. pl. nem·e·ses (-sz)
1. A source of harm or ruin: Uncritical trust is my nemesis.
2. Retributive justice in its execution or outcome: To follow the proposed course of action is to invite nemesis.
3. An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome.
4. One that inflicts retribution or vengeance.
5. Nemesis Greek Mythology The goddess of retributive justice or vengeance.

Yeah, that nemesis.

And in my dreams yesterday night, I dreamt of one particular lizard, that could fly. Wingless. With split ends on its tail. LIKE TOOTHLESS'S TAIL. Toothless is a pretty cute dragon, no?

Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon
Dawwwwwwww....

Anyway, the flying lizard in my dream is nowhere near as cute as Toothless. It's just a lizard, without wings, with a split-ended tail, and it can fly.

Perfect recipe for a nightmare. MY nightmare.

I woke up today morning (hoping it was a DREAM omgomgpleasespareme), with the dream still clear in my mind. Coming from a Chinese family... guess what's next?

Buy number lah. Weird dream + Clear details = Buy 4D time.

For the record, dreams of flying lizard = 0811
Malaysia has 3. Shop A, Shop B and Shop C. I asked my mum to buy the number for fun, since numbers that I ask my mum to buy once in a blue moon never actually opens. She buys from only Shop A and Shop B.

Guess what? The number actually opened! Nyahahaha. For once dream predictions actually come true! Second prize! I'm a few thousands richer! Think of all the things I can buy. A new handphone? Mmmm~ Already got my eyes set on a pretty nifty handphone. New shoes for work! Not to forget new clothes. I'm a happy happy girl.






NOT. The number came out in Shop C.
Although I am a bit disappointed that we didn't get any richer, I'm actually VERY surprised to find out that the number 0811 actually opened today. I 've added something to my accomplishments:

Successfully predicting a 4D number.

Flying lizards FTW.

NOT.

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
~You Found Me by Kelly Clarkson
Lyrics credits
One of my all time favourite Kelly Clarkson song. It was not a single but it's really nice!

Everyday passes so quickly.

Monday 29 March
Medical check up. Wait another 1-2 weeks for offer. Please don't torture me like that! Lunch at Fullhouse in Yap Kwan Seng. I am disappointed at the fact that it is no longer pure white thanks to the wear and tear. =(

Tuesday 30 March
Qing Ming. Went to Nilai to 'visit' Granpa and then off to Cheras to pray for Great Grandparents. I wonder if they had already reincarnate since it's been so long!

Tantan's birthday! Hahaha. Too bad we didn't get to meet up for YC as it was too late after dinner. Great job Brenddie on the photo edits! I pinjam one photo for this entry ya...


Happy 21st Birthday Tantan!

Today I also met up with Von for dinner at KLCC since she's free for once! Thanks for the treat! You'll get my treat soon, hopefully... Gossip galore and some shopping done.

Wednesday 31 March
We went to Tenji! Last day of promotion, which is RM50.00++. Second time going there. I still love the steam cod fish. Mmmm.
Baskin Robbins + Haagen Daaz + Kindori in Tenji > Haagen Daaz in Jogoya.

Thursday 1 April
April Fools! Didn't get pranked thank you.
Went for movie. I watched How to Train Your Dragon. It was really nice. I feel it is more enjoyable than Up.

Friday 2 April
Stayed at home at last! I went out the past few days and I felt drained. I need some alone time with myself. Haha. Since mum went to make her yummy acar at Kaima's house and since she's not around to watch Bloomberg or Wah Lai Toi (haha!), I played some Wii.

Saturday 3 April
Today just began, but I already have the day planned out. Had to reject YY's invite for yumcha as I already planned today on Wednesday. We're making pies again! This time with mince pork and some gravy on the side. Hopefully it'll be better than the first time.
