I was suppose to blog this yesterday but it was a frantic day so the chance to blog never came.

I need to get this off my chest. Yesterday was the day that proved that drivers of Malaysian Public Transportation are MAJOR ASSHOLES! On top of that, it also proved that there are some men drivers out there that are not fit to be called men simply because they will not give in to a woman on the road!

On a different note, I went for my 'you know what' yesterday. I hope I get called for the 2nd one. *Fingers crossed!*

To Stay Or Not To Stay

It doesn't matter whether my pay has been increased in order to encourage me to stay. I'm already not happy and so it doesn't make a difference. The only difference this increment is giving me is that I will have slightly more to use to cover my bills.

Sigh...such is life...

Krumping (Part 2)

Krumping as defined by Wikipedia

What is Krump?
Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise (K.R.U.M.P) is a dance style with Christian roots. It is also referred to as getting buck or amped, and is a highly volatile, expressive and versatile dance form. It is constantly evolving and krumping is now a structured form of dance; with a variety of styles. It began as a positive release of aggression and anger and a nonviolent alternative to the street violence that is widespread in many of the areas where it is performed. Since then a movie has been released called Rize by Lions Gate Films directed by David LaChapelle, which depicts the street dance from clowning to krumping. This has given Krump plenty of exposure and since then it has risen in popularity in the hip hop dance community.
Krumping usually involves physical contact between dancers, which can often look like a fight to outsiders, and in few cases can develop into a fight, or include violent physical contact. However, the participants understand this to be part of the dance and neither condone nor advocate assault and/or violence. In this respect, there is a certain parallel with the mosh pit in punk rock.

Styles
Various styles of krumping include:
Goofy: Pioneered by the krump practitioner "Goofy" himself. It is the least aggressive of the krump styles, usually funny and energetic.
Rugged: containing less tricks; more of a pure essence.
Beasty: Aggressive, beast-like and powerful. It is similar to bully but more animalistic.
Grimey: Dirty, mistrating and "wrong".
Flashy: Using a lot of foot movement and quick sharp, precise and showy moves.
Cocky: Stuck up and conceited.
Jerky Using motions that are not smooth and flowing but still artistic.
Bully : Aggressive and powerful
Tricks: Using a combination of moves
Fast: Quick, fast and energetic movements
Technical: a mix of flashy and smooth. Its more of a crowd pleasing style.

Organization
Krumping has developed into a structured and organized society. The dancers are grouped into groups known as "families" or "fams," these structures being reminiscent of B-boy breakdancing crews or (some have argued) Voguing Houses. Each of the families are organized around a Krump dancer known as the "big homie," who serves as both a dance instructor and a spiritual mentor of sorts. Families such as the Filipino Rice Track, Eyes, Remnant, Hall of Fame, and others, are organized with hierarchies that defer in battle or representation to a more expert or respected Krump dancer. The big Homies take "Lil' Homies", or younger, less experienced and/or beginner practitioners of Krump under their wing, allowing them to learn from them, and represent them in battle. Both titles are terms of respect. These sort of relationships may be interpreted as mentor/apprentice arrangements, similar to those in the Middle Ages and Renaissance arts periods. However, they are more of a surrogate sibling arrangement. These relationships serve a necessary purpose, not only in the absorption and learning of the art and its technique, but also in providing an unfortunately all-too-rare positive image and example for these Lil' Homies. This social dynamic also has more modern parallels in its contemporary, b-boying (more commonly known as breakdancing), which is a more developed and older facet of hip-hop culture and the black dance movement, and more loosely so in the culture of graffiti or "writing" as it is more correctly referred to.
The lil homies take on the name of their big homie. For instance, dancing under Tight Eyes is Junior Eyes, Baby Eyes, Soldier Eyes, Young Eyes, etc. Although a general hierarchy exists in terms of how the names are given out (for instance, the title "twin" goes to the dancer on par with his or her big homie's abilities) this is really up to the discretion of the Big Homey. Some will move all their dancers up by rank at once, or others will simply replace one "junior" with another if the first one leaves the family or loses the name in a battle.
A competition structure has developed as dancers vie for status and respect in the Krump elite and this phase of the Black dance community at large. Contests like the original Tommy the Clown's Battle Zone are often organised to create viable venues for establishing a structured and defendable system of competition and recognition. Contests within the world of Krumping are also called "battles" (as they are in b-boying) and they are held at various events such as the Cages and Arenas.

"Secret Garden" by Bruce Springsteen

She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth if the
Words you say are right

If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides

She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down

She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get to that place where
You can't remember and you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay a million miles away

--------------------oOo--------------------

"Sway" by Big Runga

Don't stray don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
Let me downI say it's all because of you
And here I go losing my control
I'm practising your name
So I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time tell you why I say it's infinitely true

Say you'll stay don't come and go like you do
Sway my way yeah I need to know all about you

And there's no cure no way to be sure
Where everything's turned inside out
But still in so much doubt
It makes me so tired I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it's all so sour
Cause sweets in every afternoon

Say you'll stay don't come and go like you do
Sway my way yeah I need to know all about you
Say you'll stay don't come and go like you do
Sway my way yeah I need to know all about you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Now it all turns sour
Cause sweets in every afternoon
It's time to tell you why I say it's infinitely true

Say you'll stay don't come and go like you do
Sway my way yeah I need to know all about you
Say you'll stay don't come and go like you do
Sway my way yeah I need to know all about you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

There's Something About You

"Something About You" By Jamelia

I could talk to you for days
You make me laugh one thousand ways
Not realising (you for me)
Like hot water (and my tea cup)

I'm enchanted by your smile
I must admit took a while
For me to see that (this was something)
More than (he's my friend, it's nothing)

I hope to God, you feel the way I feel
Cause this could be amazing
Something so super real

There's something about you
And you don't even know it
I'm telling you now that you got me good
There's something about you
And I can't help but show it
Damn it you got me good
Now I'm not alone
With you I'm home, I've gotta let you know
You got me good

Your style, your voice, your points of view
The good the bad and ugly too
Boy I'll take it (give it to me)
I'll be careful (give it to me)

Addiction don't dome close to this
Official is what this sh- is
Still I can't say
No I can't say that (I'm in love)

I hope to God, you feel the way I feel
Cause this could be amazing
Something so super real

There's something about you
And you don't even know it
I'm telling you now that you got me good
There's something about you
And I can't help but show it
Damn it you got me good
Now I'm not alone
With you I'm home, I've gotta let you know
You got me good

I just wanna
Be your all and all
I just wanna be the one to make you fall
I wanna take you away
I want you to be with me
I want you here with me forever
Be my holiday

Let me take you away
There's something about you

There's something about you
And you don't even know it
I'm telling you now that you got me good
There's something about you
And I can't help but show it
Damn it you got me good
Now I'm not alone
With you I'm home, I've gotta let you know
You got me good

Askmen.com

Was out for a drive with Choon Yow on Saturday. We took the longest drive at 11 something at night looking at nice condos in Mont Kiara. Just imagine 2 jokers driving and driving past constructions sites...siao liao!!

We stopped at Kiosk for a drink and I asked him bout having hair gel ads in a car magazine. We discussed about the ads and men's magazine. He told me that he frequents this site called askmen.com.

I didn't believe him. I just typed in the URL just now and...ohmygod!!! There is such a site!!! I even found an interesting article here

Interesting to see what they're teaching men about us...hmmm...even more interesting to know where Choon Yow is getting his knowledge about women!!! (andrea falls back laughing)

Trippin'

I'm getting fed up with having to adjust my timing to yours. You come back to KL, tell me we should meet up, I try to adjust my time to yours but no...there's always a cancellation on your side! I never thought I would diss you in public but you got me trippin!

If you really wanna meet up, then why the hell do I have to adjust my time to yours?? How bout trying to be a gentleman for once in your life and try to adjust your time to others! Why the hell does everyone else always have to live on your terms! The world doesn't evolve around you Dr.BadLove! Some of us have moved on without you so it's not the same. We're not gonna be on your back and call anymore! You're not God's gift to anyone so stop thinking it!

If you wanted to meet up because you want to tell me that you're getting married, don't bother, I already heard it and I don't need to hear it from you. Go ahead and marry her. I pity her because she has to live with you! I wonder if she knows you cheated on her. I pity her because she has no idea how many other girls you've taken advantage of. I feel sorry for her, I really do! And thank God you and I never had anything especially after what you did to your wife to be!

There! It's finally out in the open. For all the years I've kept it in, it's finally out for all the world to know that you're not as perfect some people think. Some used to ask me why I was so angry at you. It's because of this. For 2 years, I've lived with the guilt that I was the girl who you cheated with. I was young and vulnerable and you took advantage of it knowing I'd loved you. Thank you for not driving me to my death and making me stronger for all that it's worth...

I Need To Vent

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!

Why must all this shit happen now??? I'm already depressed as it is with my work and now more fucking money coming out for just one fucking tyre!!!

My dad needed to use my car today so he said he's drive me to work instead. He wanted to stop me at the taxi stand outside and he didn't see the boulder and he hit it and went rite on top of it. It sounded like a knock and I was worried for a dent. We checked and found the tyre had punctured. In actual fact, it didn't puncture, it burst! ARGH!!!!!!

I'm angry!!!!! More money coming out...sigh...I need a new job...

Connection

It's amazing how you can feel so comfortable and connected with someone you've only just known. I felt it last night...It felt like we'd known each other for years but in actual fact, we've been acquaintances all this time. Last night was the first time we saw each other for who we really are and maybe this is a start to more good times to come in our friendship...
