Petaling Street

Today I went to Petaling Street
And for the first time
I went to the McDonald's there
There are 2 McDonald's at Petaling Street
I went to the one opposite Popular Bookstore

Since it's my first time at Petaling Street's McDonald's
I know this would also be the first chance for me to enjoy the view of the olden part of KL
I purposely choose a table next to the window

The view was very different from the KL we always knew
The buildings are old
Streets narrow
Environment noisy
Even this McDonald's is not the typical McDonald's we are used to
I can feel no air-cond in it
Only the wall fans kept me from sweating
The pedestrians are basically walking next to the place I sit
Just a glass window that separates us
I see Malays Chinese Indians
And lots of foreign workers and tourists as well

After filling my stomach I walked down the Petaling Street
Which could easily be one of the oldest parts of KL still standing today
Lots of 'Nike's and 'LV's
As you know

Almost half of the street are being occupied by foreign workers these days
I automatically be more aware of my belongings once I stepped onto the street
This describes how complex the environment of Petaling Street is
But despite all that
I still find the nostalgic feeling coming to me
Especially when I see those food stalls along the long and narrow alley
Selling Wantan Mee, Pork Noodles, Loh See Fun etc
I can feel the 'olden days' feeling

This is Petaling Street
A street that signifies the history of Chinese settling down in this country

如今外劳占着大半个茨厂街
踏入该区我很自然地就提高警惕提防扒手
可看出来茨厂街如今的环境有多复杂
纵然如此
我还是感受到那股怀旧的感觉
看着那几条窄窄的小巷摆满了小摊子
卖云吞面,猪肉粉,老鼠粉
充满了‘古早味’

这是茨厂街
一条见证华人在这片土地扎根的街道

Break Free

I thought I would do something on that day
I actually planned to do something on that day
Be it just a very simple thing
I didn't do it in the end
I didn't do anything on that day

Does this mean that I broke free?
I really don't know

But sometimes there are things we just have to break free from it

I know this post is very abstract
In it I put lots of thoughts known only to me
You don't have to get what I say at the front
The point is in the final sentence
Think about it and it will mean a thing to you

Being Alone

I love being alone
Don't get me wrong
I don't mean I prefer being alone than being with friends
It's just that I don't mind being alone in a public place
I guess not many could say the same thing
I find enjoyment while being alone as well

Perhaps up till this point you might feel that I'm weird
But I assure that after you read my points
Your opinion would change

When I'm alone
Say
In a cafe
With a cup of coffee
I can fully enjoy the aroma of my cup of coffee
I'll spend my time observing the people around me
I can see different types of people
The way they talk
The way they dress
Their taste of drinks
Their preference of food
Guess their personality
Guess their profession
There are lots of things I could observe and think of when I'm alone
I don't get that luxury while I'm with friends
I'll be so occupied by those jokes and conversations
I wouldn't be able to fully feel the taste of my coffee
I would observe far less people in my surrounding

I wouldn't be worried that those people at the next table will be saying that I'm a lone ranger
Because they might not realize me at all
How I know?
Because when I'm busy with my friends
I probably wouldn't even realize that the person sitting at the next table is alone
Even if they did
So what?

So
To be sipping a cup of coffee
Surfing the net using my laptop
Enjoy what the public TV had to offer
And when I'm tired
Just sit down and observe the people and surrounding
Is a different way of enjoying life

When I'm alone
I could really see and think far more
Then when I'm with my friends

Being alone
Isn't that bad after all isn't it?

Just a note
To those who are very rejective of being alone
Try going alone to somewhere familiar whom you always go with friends
Whether is cafe, restaurant, bookstore, shopping complex or even mamak stall
You would see more of the place and see it differently
Trust me

But here I once again reiterate
I don't prefer being alone than being with friends
I actually prefer being talking and joking around with friends

It's just that I don't mind being alone

Keep laughing
Haha

The people in this video are sooooo stupid
Wakaka

Can't stop laughing
xD
Waliao eh

Had enough laughing?
Now think!
As funny as the video goes
Despite all those laughing
Isn't it that this video shows a cruel reality as well?
With all those iPhones and iPads being so sophisticated it could take over our lives
We might one day forget how to walk

Black Friday... or is it?

Today is Friday
And right now the word Friday gives an eerie feeling to the pop scene
The song 'Friday'
By Rebecca Black
Needs no introduction
It's gone viral
And it's almost common knowledge that it's the worst song ever
Or is it?

First let me clarify
I don't like that song as well
Like many others
But I don't know what's the problem
Just feel the song is weird
Many claimed that the lyrics are the lamest ever
And I agreed
The lyrics really made me speechless
But we've see songs with lame lyrics made it to the top
Even becoming song of the year
You'll be shocked by the song I found
Which has lyrics as lame as Friday

First
Here are the lyrics of Friday

(Yeah, Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ark)
Oo-ooh-ooh, hoo yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah-ah-ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Rebecca Black - Verse 1]

7am, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’
Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin’ forward to the weekend

[Rebecca Black - Verse 2]

7:45, we’re drivin’ on the highway
Cruisin’ so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My friend is by my right
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

[Chorus]

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday

Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin’ forward to the weekend

[Bridge]

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin’)
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after...wards
I don’t want this weekend to end

[Rap Verse]

R-B, Rebecca Black
So chillin’ in the front seat (In the front seat)
In the back seat (In the back seat)
I’m drivin’, cruisin’ (Yeah, yeah)
Fast lanes, switchin’ lanes
Wit’ a car up on my side (Woo!)
(C’mon) Passin’ by is a school bus in front of me
Makes tick tock, tick tock, wanna scream
Check my time, it’s Friday, it’s a weekend
We gonna have fun, c’mon, c’mon, y’all

[Chorus]

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin’ forward to the weekend

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin’ forward to the weekend

And now... (drums roll)
The song with lame lyrics that could rival that of Friday's
Prepare for this shocker...

I Gotta Feeling
by Black Eyed Peas!!!

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it like oh my God
Jump off that sofa, let's get, get off

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out and losing all control

Fill up my cup, mozoltov
Look at her dancing, just take it off
Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof, and then we'll do it again

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
And do it and do it, let's live it up
And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it

'Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night


Tonight's the night
(Hey!)
Let's live it up
(Let's live it up)
I got my money
(My pay)
Let's spend it up
(Let's spend it up)

Go out and smash it
(Smash it)
Like oh my God
(Like oh my God)
Jump off that sofa
(Come on!)
Let's get, get off

Fill up my cup
(Drink)
Mozoltov
(Lahyme)
Look at her dancing
(Move it, move it)
Just take it off

Let's paint the town
(Paint the town)
We'll shut it down
(Let's shut it down)
Let's burn the roof
And then we'll do it again

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
And do it and do it, let's live it up
And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, do it, do it, do it

Here we come, here we go, we gotta rock
(Rock rock rock rock rock)
Easy come, easy go, now we on top
(Top top top top top)
Feel the shot, body rock, rock it, don't stop
(Stop stop stop stop stop)
Round and round, up and down, around the clock
(Rock rock rock rock rock)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
(Do it!)
Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday
(Do it!)
Get, get, get, get, get with us, you know what we say, say
Party every day, p-p-p-party every day

And I'm feelin', woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

I gotta feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
Woohoo


See?
How repetitive are the lyrics?
And at least Rebecca got the sequence of the days correct
Unlike BEP
Where there are 2 Saturdays in a week!
lol
But how successful was their song?
Yeah we all know it

Which song lyric is lamer?
You make the call

So perhaps the lyrics ain't the problem after all
Maybe she's just unlucky
Coz she's no Lady Gaga or Britney Spears
Or even Miley Cyrus
