Serendipity


1. The existence of sluts and bimbos that brings nothing to humanity,in which,I believe there will be an end to it, is not the end of the world.

2. Sitting here, listening to the sound of rain falling, I felt nostalgic.



3. Ais kacang tastes so good!



4. Sometimes, putting others first is not recommended.

5. Today's sky in Shah Alam is breathtaking, really.

6. Well, maybe there is some mysterious ways that could explain these illogical confusion.

[listening to] poker face instrumental

It's all Harry Potter here and there..and nope,I think I won't watch it.Assume that I'll wait for the whole collection in the from of DVD in the next future.We'll see.

By the way,this is me :

I don't look like that in the real world,just so you know.

You’ll keep yourself awake,I think.

[random] I wanna cry.... Photobucket
[listening to] random winamp songs

I just couldn’t understand the choices of songs that the owner-of-a-computer-shop-next-door’s wife plays every time. She tends to play techno tracks that make me yawn. Yes,I yawned while listening to the songs blaring on the speaker. She doesn’t realize that her choices could increase the probability of me falling asleep (easily) at work.Ugh.

No,don’t get me wrong.I’m not against techno music.It’s just that,her choices of (techno) songs sucks,okay.

EXCEPT for this particular song.She would play it before they close their shop.It’s like some kind of an ending theme from them,haha.When I listened it for the first time,my first guess it was by Craig David (it’s been a while since I heard anything on him).The tempo kinda reminds me of a crossover between Ne-yo’s “Closer” and Usher’s “Yeah!”.

Well,thanks to the colleague of mine,he managed to asked the shop’s technician who sang that song.And yes,my guess was correct,it IS Craig David’s,entitled “Insomnia”.

Photobucket This song is awesomely addicting.

The song,from Angela’s point of view: It’s a typical scenario,actually.A guy finally realized that he’s deeply in love with a girl that has already walked out of his life.Knowing that he had messed it up,he can’t sleep till he get the love of his love at his side.Yup,he wants her back,very badly.

If you happened to read other reviews on this song before you read this one,you would notice that some of the bloggers were not that ‘keen’ on the lyrics.I’m not going to condone them,though.To me,I don’t see anything wrong with being typical with usage of words in that song.It’s honest and straight to the point.

The music video,from Angela’s point of view: Again,it focuses on simplicity. If you saw ‘something’ weird at the beginning of the video,don’t worry.There’s nothing wrong with your monitor,heheh.It’s actually the special effects that created a ‘jagged’ scenery.Overall, less (and simple) is definitely more.




I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough

Been a fool, girl I know
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back I wish I could rewind

Because I can't sleep til you're next to me
No I can't live without you no more
Oh I stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love
You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up

Been a fool (fool), girl I know (know)
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time (time), you'll change your mind (mind)
Now looking back I wish I could rewind

Because I can't sleep til you're next to me
No I can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh I stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah

Ah, I just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And I know that it's love because

I can't sleep til you're next to me
No I can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh I stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah


…surprise,surprise,there’s another version of “Insomnia”!

I was amazed when I read through Wikipedia that Craig David himself actually asked Wheesung to do a remake of that song.For those who are new to Wheesung,he was featured in Se7en’s hit single,”Luz Control”.And so,Wheesung did a comeback,with a Korean version of “Insomnia” early this year.Welcome back,Wheesung!

The song,from Angela’s point of view: Differ from the original version,this one tells us about a guy that conceal his true feelings on this particular girl.Yup,the girl that has captured his heart doesn’t have a single clue about it.Looks like he hasn’t have the courage to confess to her yet,afraid that she will walked away.And because of that he’s unable to sleep,thinking about her.

On the lyrics’ side,his version are more poetic.It seems like the rap part are quite lengthy in order to synchronized with the original version’s tempo.Nonetheless,it is still does make sense,and Wheesung nailed that part,yeah! Just so you know,‘real slow’ is referred to him.

The music video,from Angela’s point of view: Most of the other reviews out there thinks this version is much hotter.My collegue thinks so too.I'm second to that.And Wheesung had a new haircut! (Maybe he had it years ago,it’s just that I knew about it later when I watched the video,haha.) The new haircut emphasizes his machoness,plus I also like his hand formation of the word “LOVE” at the beginning of the video.He did dance,too.And owh,the ending of the video was really cool.You have to watch it for yourself!

I think he wore eyeliner in that video.Hmm,I could be wrong about it.Haha.





You know that I love you
Can’t you see my eyes?
There’s only one,the Real Slow

I dedicate this song to you.

[random] my class' starting this July 6th..niiice.

To whom it may concern,

..this is the song I dedicated just for you,as I promised.The ones that I bold in purple.. represents how I felt right now.Although the video doesn't represent my heart's content,I'm going to embed it anyway,as I think you haven't heard of him before.By the way David Archuleta,thanks for this beautiful song.

I hope that you'll succeed in your life.And I know you can do it.Take care. Wish me the best too,as I'm all alone again dealing with the cruel reality.




It never crossed my mind at all
That's what I tell myself
What we had is come and gone
You better offer someone else
It is for the best
I know it is
But I see you

Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside
And I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Memories suppose to fade
What's wrong with my heart
Shake it off let it go
Didn't think it would be this hard
Should be strong, moving on
But I see you

Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside
And I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Maybe I regret
Everything I said
And there's no way
To take it all back
Yeah
Now I'm on my own
I wont let you go
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
Yeah, ohhh.

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
And I really don't know what to do
I'm just a little too not over you

Not over you, ooh.
