Teenage Dirtbag

A few minutes get-away from Extended Essay. I was listening to my playlist when this song came up;

"I got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby,
come with me Friday don't say maybe,
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby, like you".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then my mind started flashing into the past when the movie 'Loser' came out. It was one of the best movie I had ever watched. I remember it was the year 2000. Back then I was 10 years old if I'm not mistaken. I don't know, you do the calculation. I'm no good in math.
So it was about a guy liking a girl (I know it sounds cliche but believe me, it is not). I can't really recall the whole thing. Oh my, I wish I could watch it all again. I tried downloading it on Torrent but it failed.

Then I remember another one movie that I wish I could watch again. 'Deadman on Campus' (1998). Gosh, the movie was great. I like Cliff in particular. It's about a bunch of college students trying to make their way to graduate by having to kill a roomate for some privilage. Damn, I can't even recall that too.

Then there was this movie called 'Roadtrip' (2000). Starring the kid in Simple Plan's music video I'm Just A Kid. It's Roadtrip not Eurotrip. Eurotrip sucks like hell. It's like a softporn somesort.

I wish I could spend the weekend watching these 3 movies. Get me these movies and I'll marry you :). Seriously. or perhaps reward you with catfoods.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These movies reminds me of the times when I'm facing identity crisis during my teenage years. I'm sure we all faced that. Not knowing who we should grow up into, not knowing what clothes should we wear, what style should we obey to or perhaps what kind of music we should like. Whereas the teenagers nowadays grow up with movies such as High School Musical, Hannah Montana and so on. No offence, but it seems less immature than what we, and by we I mean the 89s to the 91s, adopt during our identity crisis.

I remember wearing horrible over-sized clothes. I remember walking around with a bulky Sony Walkman in my pocket. Then comes the Discman. Hitting puberty, trying to look cool and popping pimples. I remember going through the phases.

However, what I find lovely is that the identity crisis means the world to me back then. The feeling of affiliated to a certain society means everything. That is like the biggest problem that we all have to face during that time. There was nothing much more than that.

But the time is over. Now all that we worry about is our Extended Essays, our Business and Economics IAs, our Pure Mathematics, all the assignments that you and I could ever imagine. Those mean the world to us now. Nothing else matter.

Well, I'd better get back to EE.

Three Cheers for Benayoun


4 Liverpool - Burnley 0
Liverpool against Burnley uplifted Liverpool to a quite more comfortable level. The game was fantastic and full of drama. Started with an easy play when Burnley ambitiously tried during the start of the game (the only good try by them :p). The game becomes more dramatic as the Israelis Benayoun put in his gears for winning the game!


The first goal was a good one as Benayoun dribble along the defenders and strike it in pilfering hopes from Burnley :)


The second goal was rather unplanned. A try which deflected from the keeper into Kuyt's oppurtunity as he was there at the right time.


The third goal was a brilliant triple-tech! The strategic goal for Benayoun with the assistance of Torres and Gerrard.


Then comes the controversial part of the game. Gerrard took a free kick in a well manner which lead to Benayoun's ambitious hatrick. However, the linesman call it an offside.


Then when the pace was going faster, Benayoun comes with his hatrick. The Israeli nailed it well at a crucial time of the game which landed liverpool in a win of a great goal difference.


Benitez seems to be pretty well organized as the subs were done wonderfully. All was done during the second half. Degen was in for Johnson's place. Voronin was then substituted in, taking over Kuyt's place and the last sub was Torres for the freshleg, Ngog.


The Brazillian Lucas defended pretty well today giving Burnley a hard time trying. Not to forget, Johnson tried as what Xabi Alonso could have done or as what he himself had done at the Reebok Stadium against The Wanderers, to strike at a very unpredictable range. What awked me is typical Gerrard's next to poll score was saved beautifully by the keeper. Nevertheless, all of his piece-taking was wonderful.


Liverpool played well and they had learned their lesson. The 31 streak winning home game was broke by the Villas and no other team could ever bring them down again in Anfield because This Is Anfield :)


Fans, You'll Never Walk Alone.

Radioheadandshoulderkneesandtoes

The reason why people should listen to Radiohead is that they have a variation type of acoustic. From something light to something intermediately heavy.

Artist: Radiohead
Album: The Bends

Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror,
You're turning into something you are not

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation,
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you,
You will be the one screaming out

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing that you ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing you ever had has gone away

Chasing Pavement

"Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavement even if it leads no where?".

I gave up hoping on hopes. I was dissapointed millions of time before but I was insisted to give it another shot. So I hope. I did. Then I overdo it, I hope higher and it kept on getting higher. Then dissapointment made it's room in again.

Everyone got what they wanted or at least they have something. I knew I should have made my decision wisely. They said aim for the stars and you fall on the moon, it's all bullcrap. I'm falling way down than that. I knew I should have realise on where I stand. Who I am. What I'm capable of. I took it for granted. Now I know where I stand, who I am and what I'm never capable of. This is not what I had in mind when I first step my foot in this college. Things just went haywired.

I know I can't blame anyone but myself in this. How selfish of me to think this is someone elses doings. It's your own fault, Manul. It's your own fault. You could have fix everything up but you took it for granted. I'm back in square one. I've been in this situation and I made my way out but this is different. I'm out of options.

Kudos guys. You're bounded to UK, to Ireland and carry on with what I always wanted to. Again, it's my own fault and ain't it a bit too late too realise that?

It's a future matter. I had it, I had it all planned but I didn't put the pieces. No matter how much I regret it, it won't change anything much. I failed myself.
