Stupid for You, Marié Digby

Marié Digby was in 1 Utama last night and she was a blast. Julea and myself went over to 1 Utama just to catch a glimpse and hopefully to rub shoulder with this YouTube sensation. Unfortunately, the turnout was too great, we didn’t even get a good spot. Nevertheless, we get the listen to her singing live!

After crowding around for a while, we got hungry and we decided to ditch our spot to go grab some dinner at SushiGroove.

Julea was excited and hungry

Half way through my Chicken Katsu Don and sushis, we can hear the crowd screaming and cheering. We know very well that she’s out on stage by then. We didn’t missed much as by the time went back to join the crowd, she just started singing ‘Say It Again’ which was the highlight of the whole evening. The crowd went crazy singing along with her.

She sang a couple of songs after that and one of them were ‘Stupid For You’ which is another title I like from her CD.

Then there was this little prize ceremony for a few participants who went up on stage earlier to sing their rendition of ‘Say It Again’. I don’t know who won but I know Roshan from Mix.fm was up on stage with Marié when sent presented the winner with guitar autographed by Marié Digby herself. Yes, the one that she played on stage during the gig….NICE!

Well, its all good although I had to really pushed myself through the crowd to get some not-so-good photos of her from a very odd angle. After her stage performance, it was time to get her autograph and we were not the only people hoping for that.

By the time we got to GAP outlet, there was already a long queue. It was terrible, Julea grabbed on my arms tightly as we pushed through the crowd of fans. Up to a point where we stuck at the same spot for quite a while. We got fed up after a while and decided to leave instead.

On our way out from the crowded line, we bumped into Pietro and Joanne. Pietro then got me a VIP tag and thanks to him…

… and then we got this!

I finally get to meet Marié Digby up close although I didn’t get to rub shoulder with her… perhaps one day. I got lucky to get her autograph, to those who didn’t…

…here’s one for you :p

Glory Glory Man United!

YES! YES! YES!

MANCHESTER UNITED FC is 2007/08 BARCLAY’S PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!

MUFC

I couldn’t get to watch the match but I was catching every minute of the game through the website. When Giggs scores the 2nd goal, I quickly switch attention to Chelsea only to find them leading 1-0 over Bolton. Even if Chelsea won, Man U will still win the premiership title by goal average. But thanks to the equaliser from Matt Taylor, the premiership title goes to MANCHESTER UNITED FC!

Try again next year, Chelsea! See ya in Moscow!

Come on peeps, let’s sing a long!!!

Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
And the reds go marching on, on, on.

Just like the Busby Babes in Days gone by
We’ll keep the Red Flags flying high
You’ve got to see yourself from far and wide
You’ve got to hear the masses sing with pride

United! Man United!
We’re the boys in Red and we’re on our way to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We’re the famous Man United and we’re going to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We’re the famous Man United and we’re going to Wem-ber-ly

In Seventy-Seven it was Docherty
Atkinson will make it Eighty-Three
And everyone will know just who we are
They’ll be singing ‘Que Sera Sera’

United! Man United!
We’re the boys in Red and we’re on our way to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We’re the famous Man United and we’re going to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We’re the famous Man United and we’re going to Wem-ber-ly

Glory Glory Man United
Glory Glory Man United
Glory Glory Man United
As the Reds Go Marching On! On! On! (3x)

Egotism vs Rudeness

“Haiya, lelaki semua nih ego-lah! Ingatkan mereka semua terror sangat.”

Men has been generalised to be the egoistic species when it comes to gender war. Honestly, I agree to it. However, I do not agree that all men are the same.

Speaking on my behalf, I admit I can be quite egoistic at times but that does not mean that I ought to go around trashing the lives of others.

I don’t. That’s because I’m not a rude person.

Rudeness, like big government, is intrusive. And like big government, it is cancerous. Just as the shortcomings of one welfare state program beget another and yet another, so too do thoughtless behavior and rude remarks metastasize.

According to Wikipedia, Rudeness is the (apparent) disrespect and failure to behave within the context of a society or a group of people’s social laws or etiquette. These laws have already unspokenly been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behavior. To be unable or unwilling to align one’s behavior with these laws known to the general population of what is socially acceptable would be considered being rude. There is an order of severity as to what one might consider being rude; Impolite, Faux pas, Inconsiderate/Indifference/Selfishness, Offensive, Obscene and Taboo/a crime.

No matter how egoistic a man can be, or rather, no matter how egoistic I can be, I have no intention to be rude.

I’ve met many egoistic men in my life. Surely, they spoke a lot about themselves, I would just avoid them.

On the other hand, I’ve also seen too many impolite women out there too. Sadly, these people tend to leave appalling remarks that can hurt and haunt you for the rest of your life, especially those from close friend s and loved ones.

“Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength, and luxuriates in the absence of self-respect.” - Eric Hoffler

“I Am Iron Man”

As convincing as the title may sound, no, I’m not Iron Man but this movie definitely gets my two ‘iron thumbs’ up!. Yet another great movie from Marvel comics after many great success with their comic range superheroes.

Iron Man

Love this movie a lot and for some reasons, I felt that this movie is far better than Transformers. The shinny armor and sophisticated mechanism of the suit totally blows me off my mind! It’s awesome how far CG has improved over the years. Transformers was cool and definitely a great movie but somehow it lacks a good storyline. Instead, Iron Man tells a great story on the emergence of a great superhero.

Robert Downey Jr. played a great role as Tony Stark, the billionaire genuis who created the armor suit that saved him and then made him a superhero.

Iron Man

After missing in action for quite a while, Gwen definitely put on a great role as Pepper Potts, Tony’s PA who too saved his life.

Now, I’ll leave the review to the rest. What I can say is, this movie is a must watch. At least try to catch it on the big screen.

Iron Man
Seriously, don’t you just love this?
