You know, when you come to a diverging road on highway or any road there will be lines before you reach the divider..

Usually, lots of motorists like to cut queue on these line dividers and I really hate it because those who are in line are also in a rush and they have wasted time to queue up..

So in what excuse can you say that you are in a rush and I’m not?

On 9th of July 2010, I got bored when I was in line at the Bandar Tun Razak exit after Connaught’s Giant, PJ-bound, some smart ass cut queue as usual..

That road is quite a hot spot for motorists to cut queue during lunch time and off-work hour..

So here’s an image I snapped on my mobile phone..

*Toyota Wish - WPE 823*

Of course there were some escaped at that time and it just so happened that this Toyota Wish WPE 823 is the lucky one to be featured in here this time..

On the bright side, this Wish is not the only one I’ve captured coz I passby that road almost everyday..More to come in the near future..Cheers!

Check out the trailer..

Born in Beijing, she has gained numerous achievements in the East Asia, including becoming the first Chinese singer to feature in a video game theme, Final Fantasy VIII for “Eyes On Me”..

*Taken from Google Images*

The CD single has sold over 400,000 copies and later on became the first video game song to win an award at the 14th Annual Japan Gold Disc Awards, where it won the “Song of The Year (Western Music)” in 2000..

In the same CD single, it also features “Red Bean (Hong Dou)” in the 3-tracks CD, where “Hong Dou” is released in Faye Wong’s 1998 album, Scenic Tour..

“Red Bean (Hong Dou)” is about a relationship where a person is missing the other half..

This song is then covered by HK sensation Khalil Fong, but I found it a bit gay, though some might beg to differ..For me, the original version still rocks!

So here’s the music video of Faye Wong’s “Red Bean (Hong Dou)” and pin yin lyrics..

And speaking of busy, I didn’t really touch my camera for quite some time and Tony, Jason and I did some stress release by having 2 pretty coursemates from the Chemical Engineering major to have a photoshoot with us..

It’s fun to have them with us on a Saturday morning at Taman Bukit Jalil with few “country themed gardens”..

Here are some of the photos..

*Tan Qian*

This is Tan Qian, hailed from China..She’s been staying in Malaysia for more than 5 years and speaks good local slang as well

*Mei Ling*

Mei Ling, a sweet girl who seldom talks but once you’ve got to know her, she’s kinda chatty too..

*I want you!*

Most of the photos were taken using Sony SAL-75300mm, zooming at full-range..

One of my habits of taking outdoor portrait photoshoot is using tele lens..The bokeh effect is one of the reasons..

You don’t even need a low aperture tele lens to get some nice bokeh and that will serve you pretty well as a starter at a more affordable price..

*Abandon house*

There’s an abandoned house kinda place which I think it’s not supposed to be like that but it’s quite old and not well maintained hence the wrecked window frames..

Correct me if I’m wrong..LOL..

*The dark moment*

This photo is to reflect her “darkest moment” hence the black and white style to further enhance the feeling in it..

*Loneliness #1*

The feeling of being abandoned doesn’t feel good at all..

*Loneliness #2*

The long-wait for someone seems to be very torturing..

*Loneliness #3*

I must applaud Tan Qian for her anticipation in this photoshoot as she put up a great emotion on this set..

Jason requested her to shed some tears, not to the extent of crying out loud and yeah, she did it perfectly..

Just a slight teary eyes for this set and I can actually feel her when I was looking into her through the lens..

For more photos do head over to my Facebook album of Mei Ling And Tan Qian Photoshoot..

They are also not allowed to pump diesel of more than 20 litre at a time at any petrol kiosk within the vicinity of 50km from the border..

Good news is they can pump RON97 without any limit..

*Taken at Shell Station in Taman Connaught*

This warning notice is taken by me at a Shell Station in Taman Connaught..

Can you spot the mistake in this notice?

Now take a deep breath and read out loud the warnings written on the notice..

Still don’t get it?

Once again, the notice is a warning towards foreign registered vehicles, so it’s presumable that foreigners (without MyKad) are not allowed to pump the RON95 petrol..

So, foreigners include Singaporean, Thai, Vietnamese, Australian, Japanese, Korean, Caucasian, etc etc..

How the heck can these foreigners read the Malay notice?!?!?!

But on the bright side, I saw the same notice in other petrol kiosks in both Malay and English..

Get smart yo!

Was there with Daphne, Joshua, and Satkuru..Found our way to meet up with Ginny, Vivien, and Natalie..

We got our passes courtesy of Nuffnang yay!

We reached Sunway at about 5-ish-6pm and it’s freaking packed already..The queue was pretty long and we managed to slip in at the front row, cutting our queuing time by approximately of at least 1 hour..

When we were about to show the security our passes, the sky started to give us a heavy downpour, really heavy one..

The organiser was pretty smart to provide the party-goers disposable ponchos..So I kept a few just in case..

So we entered with the poncho on and the party was about to begin with Asia’s VJs taking the control of the stage..

Namely VJ Utt (Thai), VJ Juju (China), and 2 more others whom I can’t really remember coz I don’t have cable TV so yeah, I don’t really watch MTV

All the following photos are taken from MTV World Stage Official Website, unless stated..

*The crowd with their ponchos*

The event kickstarted with our very own local pop-rock outfit, Bunkface..

Although some might be bored (people like me :P) of their songs and antics but it’s undeniable that Bunkface has got the talent to get the crowd moving and a good warm-up before international acts kick in..

*Bunkface getting energetic*

Another thing getting the crowd moving is because of the songs..Bunkface’s songs are kinda “household” to any music lover who supports local music..

*ROCK YEAH!*

The crowd started to sing along as their songs are pretty familiar to any Malaysian due to its wide publicity and catchy tune and lyrics..

*Syoks*

After Bunkface, the crowd took some rest before the Korean girls group Wonder Girls came on stage with their sexy outfits..

IMHO, they speak pretty good English as compared to many other Korean artistes..

*Puppets?*

Honestly, I don’t know any of their songs other than “Nobody”, but I was pretty entertained with other songs as well..

They were in their signature “Nobody” golden outfit and the crowd started to clap hands, lift up one of their legs, and pointing the person in front of them, you get the drift..

*Singing “Nobody”*

After the Wonder Girls, the event was going down the drain for a while, no pun intended..

It took slightly more than an hour for Tokio Hotel to perform due to “technical difficulties” and the non-stop rain..

Continue on for more of Tokio Hotel, Katy Perry, and my lenglui date

I would say most people was kinda pissed but didn’t show any sign of fatigue or trying to leave the beach..That’s the Malaysia Boleh spirit!

*Tokio Hotel*

Then came on Tokio Hotel and I think they performed at least 7 songs and guessed it’s their way to “compensate” the waiting crowd..

Ready or not, they were really good on the stage and it took only seconds for the crowd to re-energize themselves and started to rock the house down, again!

Their set up and visualizations were pretty stunning and I wasn’t surprised with the amount of time they took to prepare for that one act..

But all is happy when Tokio Hotel did an encore before they make way for Katy Perry..

*Katy Perry*

This time it took about 20-30 minutes before Katy Perry took the stage with more stunning stage props..

As usual, it’s all colorful, bright, and cheerful kinda theme..She has put up a great performance too and for the first time, she sang a single, “Peacock” from her newest album, “Teenage Dream”..

She went, “You wanna see my peacock, cock, cock, cock~~”..So I was like okayyy~~~..

*What the…*

Katy Perry had storylined her songs in a way to make it sounded more interesting than just sing it away..

All in all, it was a great concert albeit the technical disruption in-between acts and the best thing was all of the artiste has very good showmanship on the stage..

Most important thing about a concert is whether the singer would do it great on stage like what they did on studio album and all 4 of them made it pretty good..

*Freaking tired*

After that I was freaking tired, from my shoulders to my back and then to the waist and all the way down to the knees and feet..

But I must say it’s quite worth it..On the other hand, hopefully the organisers would learned their lessons and make it better should there be another one in the coming years..

*Daphne and I*

I end it with a photo of my date of the night, Daphne

Well if you didn’t know what is that, Step Up is a dancing movie franchise, mostly associated with break dance and a slight bit of contemporary dance..

In Step Up 3D, it tells about Moose (Adam G. Sevani) who missed his flight back to Baltimore when the Maryland School of Arts (MSA) goes to Paris for an international dance competition..

He soon makes friends with an American away from home and beautiful French sophisticate. They introduce Moose to the red-hot Parisian underground dance scene, and before long he is wowing the local dancers with his unique moves as they prepare for an underground dance competition..

With time running out before the big event and their routine stolen by a rival crew, Moose turns to his loyal MSA crew in Baltimore for help..

Like previous Step Up movies and any other dancing competition, it’s all left to the battle between the dance groups and all..

Unavoidable is one thing, but making it become worse is another thing..

I always freaking hate selfish irresponsible drivers who managed to get their driving license and driving around not knowing how to respect other drivers..

In this case, traffic congestion at a roundabout..The one in Cheras specifically..

Congestion usually happens when drivers on either side of the incoming road don’t give way to the other road despite blocking the road and causing massive jams..

I got fed up and made an impromptu video on that very roundabout and I know it’s kinda boring or whatsoever but hey, it’s my way of reporting reckless-selfish-irresponsible drivers!

So here’s the video and I’ll definitely come back with more videos..

This is a part of my Traffic Offenders series..Do check it out..

*MTV World Stage Live In Malaysia 2010*

I’ve got an opportunity to go for the very first MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia in 2009 but I snubbed it due to my exam and I’ve definitely missed one of the greatest event/concert being held in Malaysia..

So this year I’m not going to blow the chance and am definitely going to Sunway Lagoon and enjoy my weekend to the fullest this time around..

This English hard rock band is formed in 1977 and were a part of New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement..

The band consists of Joe Elliot (vocal), Phil Collen (guitar), Vivian Campbell (guitar), Rick Savage (bass), and Rick Allen (drums)..

This is their first song that I’ve heard of when I was still in Primary 5..It was and is still one of my favourites..

“When Love And Hate Collide” could be the only memorable song that I knew of from Def Leppard even though they were regarded as hard rock and heavy metal band, where another song “Two Steps Behind” being quite a regular on local radio..

Here’s the official video and lyrics for Def Leppard’s “When Love And Hate Collide”..

Def Leppard - When Love And Hate Collide Lyrics

You could have a change of heart if you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone girl for the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall but I ain’t gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby united we fall

Got the time got a chance gonna make it, got my hands
On your heart gonna take it all I know, I can’t fight this flame
You could have a change of heart if you would only change your mind
‘Cause I’m crazy ’bout you baby time after time

Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby do you have a heart of stone?
Without you
Can’t stop the hurt inside when love and hate collide

I don’t wanna fight no more I don’t know what we’re fighting for
When we treat each other baby like an act of war
I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger hits you right between the eyes

There’s a time and a place and a reason and I know I got a love
To believe in all I know got to win this time

Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby do you have a heart of stone?
Without you
Can’t stop the hurt inside when love and hate collide

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
‘Cause I’m crazy ’bout you baby
Crazy, crazy

Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby do you have a heart of stone?
Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby if you have a heart at all
Without you, can’t stop the hurt inside when love and hate collide
