Wish you were here

Thursday, October 30, 2008
Wish you were here. That'll be my reply if you asked me to name one particular song that I found most epic. Pink Floyd has been the most powerful songwriters since the Beatles and most of their albums are well known to be legendary. Such as the Concept album, The Wall , Dark Side of the Moon and Animals. Though not many will deny that the greatest album of all time would have to be "Wish You Were Here".


As for the title song, I remember the first time I listened to it and found it phenomenal. It's riddled with questions directed to the listener. It will make you think and wonder as what Lennon did in Imagine. It's poetic beauty in its lyrics and music composition makes this song almost highly untouchable.

Watch this video and listen. That's all I am asking. Listen and ask yourself.



So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell?
Blue skies from pain?

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Big Mac

Haven't been in McDonalds for a very long while (since the 90s?). I hung out with Dan yesterday and apparently he was dying for a Big Mac. Yes, Dan. You earned your nickname.

This will kill you.


Surprisingly though, the whole meal was filling for just a burger and fries (Fine! Large Fries). I can see now why McD is a worldwide favourite.

Demi Lovato

Monday, October 27, 2008
You might have seen Demi Lovato in Camp Rock. Yeah, that TV Disney Movie with the Jonas Brothers in it. Some of you might be looking at me like "What? Azzi? Jonas Brothers?" like when you heard Miley Cyrus in my car. Number 1, It was there by ACCIDENT because I rushed to burn the CD. Number 2, No, I'm not a Jonas Brothers fan. I'm still really Metal at heart you know.

Beneath this 16 year old is raw explosive energy. A born rocker I might say. First time I heard Get Back, I'd thought it would be an average teenager rock song. The catchy tune, however, stuck my ears into it. It wasn't until 2:14 in the video that got me really hooked.

See for yourself. Here's Demi Lovato's new single "Get Back".



Don't walk away like you always do, this time
Baby you're the only thing that's been, on my mind
Ever since you've left I've been a mess
You won't answer your phone
I'll say it once and I'll leave you alone
But I gotta let you know.

I wanna get back to the old days
When the phone would ring, and I knew it was you
I wanna talk back, and get yelled at
Fight for nothing, like we used to
Oh kiss me, like you mean it
Like you miss me, cause I know that you do
I wanna get back, get back
With you

Don't look at me that way I see it in your eyes
Don't worry about me I've been fine
I'm not gonna lie I've been a mess
Since you left
And every time I see you it gets more and more intense

I wanna get back to the old days
When the phone would ring, and I knew it was you
I wanna talk back, and get yelled at
Fight for nothing, like we used to
Oh kiss me, like you mean it
Like you miss me, cause I know that you do
I wanna get back, get back
With you

You were the only one I wanted
And you were the first one I fell for
You're the only one that I'm in need of
And I don't wanna be lonely anymore

I wanna get back to the old days
When the phone would ring, and I knew it was you
I wanna talk back, and get yelled at
Fight for nothing, like we used to
Oh kiss me, like you mean it
Like you miss me, cause I know that you do
I wanna get back, get back
With you

Get back (Get back)
Get back (Get back)
Get back (Get back)
Get back (Get back)

Oh kiss me, like you mean it
Like you miss me, cause I know that you do
I wanna get back, get back
I wanna get back, get back
I wanna get back, get back
With you

Get back!

McDonald Commercials

Friday, October 24, 2008
Tired of Ronald McDonald? Remind you too much of The Joker, and you hear his bloodcurling laugh every time you bite a Big Mac? Here's some interesting commercials for McD.

Can the guy from SuperSize me explain what does this all mean?
Well, I mean not that I'm complaining..


Does it make you want to buy the burger?


What about you ladies?

Herman Li Guitar Effects

Checking some cool guitar effects and techniques. You might have heard Herman Li play in the DragonForce single 'Through the Fire and Flames' which in turn became the most insane Guitar Hero song ever made.

The elephant noise (This is bloody unique)
The Motorbike Noise (This is awesome)
The 'Break your Guitar string' noise




Here's the video of 'Through the Fire and Flames'. Catch Herman Li and Sam Totman go at it in awesome guitar duels. Observe 3:21 and prepare to be surprised!

New Blogs coming Soon!

Saturday, October 18, 2008
I have an announcement to make. I'm excited to tell you all that once the exam month ends, my two new blogs wil go online. It's been my plan over a whole year to make a separate blog that specialises in one of my passions.



Gaming Blog
A collaboration between the Brothers of Destruction.
That's right everyone, Zani will be joining the blogging community. He will be researching interesting videogame information where I will be writing the articles. There we will describe our critique on previews of upcoming games, our views on released games, and classic games that we always find time to play (Shadow of Colossus, I love you).
We will be collecting info from every site we can find and deliver it to our Brunei Gamer Community. We are going to aim big everyone! From your fellow gamers, Ziggy and Maximus.



Comic Blog
People are wondering about the progress on that comic collection I've been planning. Well honestly, I have a whole lot of paper around my room and mostly they're concept drawings that I've made over the years. So this blog will not only act as my diary, but also as a gallery. Then I'll just leave for everyone to comment on them and say what they think.

Since they are still in-production, I won't reveal any links yet. But I will! Please check them out as soon ^_^

Siblings

Friday, October 17, 2008
I found an old photo from years ago while browsing through my older post. It now almost end of the year, and Kaka recently left for Japan again, I thought I'd compare our older selves and us years ago.

2008: Empire hotel

2003: OGDC

Kelvin's Soul Calibur IV rants

Thursday, October 16, 2008
When puasa began to feel brutally boring, it was Abu who came to save us. We went to his house with the PS3 along and Fakhrul with Kelvin were already there. There, we pit ourselves to the so unforgiving game of SOUL CALIBUR IV!

However, the most hilarious is Kelvin's random rants whenever he holds the controller ^_^



Kelvin: (To Fakhrul after a successful hit) Take that you Fag!

Kelvin: I poke you like a bitch!

Siegfried's close range attack
Kelvin: What the hell? Dancing kah?
Abu: Headbutt tu wah!

Kelvin: Boo your first compliment!

Darth Vader: There is no escape
Kelvin: Who wants to escape?!
After some awesome display of getting his ass kicked
Kelvin: Hahahah, don't be so angry..

Kelvin: (adding to Fakhrul's annoyance) No! Fakhrul! You lost!

Kelvin: Boo! You lost!

While going against the Apprentice..
Kelvin: You and your Vader you!

Commenting on Algol's weapons
Kelvin: Pepsi and CocaCola!

Using Yoshimitsu..
Kelvin: I'm a gravity samurai!

Kelvin's trademark rant: shuttup!

HAHAHA, can't wait for the videogame party after the exams!

LittleBigPlanet a bit bigger!

Sunday, October 12, 2008
Related to post "Little Big Planet" on Wednesday, August 06, 2008.

You might laugh, but LittleBigPlanet is definitely going to be huge. The level designing and the amazing range of customization is every gamer's wet dream. I pray LBP is going to rock Gaming History as Spore did.

You might have seen the Nariko and Kratos sack characters. If you're thinking "Who? wha? The God of War? That's it?" then see the pictures below. They are mind blowingly hysterical!

Old Snake from MGS4 O_O

And a surprising addition for all you Final Fantasy fans!
Sephiroth!


Some interesting trailers!
The Helghast LBP trailer for those can't wait for Killzone 2.


Thought it's all sunshine and flowers? Prepare for THE GOD himself!

Family Guy: Chicken Fights

Saturday, October 11, 2008
Family Guy definitely tops my favourite television shows list. The best parts I've got to say is the chicken fights. Where somewhere in the middle of some episode the chicken appears and Peter Griffin goes at it with the giant chicken before beating a Bloody pulp!
WARNING: Viewer Discretion is Advised


The First Chicken Fight!


Giant Chicken Returns! The fighting gets better and better!


The Emmy Award winning Chicken Fight for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation!


From Raiders of the Lost Ark to Pirates of the Caribbean, watch it and notice how they seem very familiar!

Halo in the Sky

An interesting occurance in the sky. There was a crowd of people holding their phones towards the sky. It was one of those few hottest days of the year and the sun was burning brighter than usual. It wasn't until I went to see the spectacle by myself. It was wonderful! The sun formed a ring around itself like a Halo in the sky.

Today, everyone, the world is an angel.

Mind Reading

"Twins and Mind Reading"


It was Afifah who asked me this awkward question. It's interesting though. Imagine zani and I communicate mentally while others don't. We'll be aces in exams, we get plan before and an attack, ans silently we can decide whether we should beat the crap out of somebody ^_^

Imagine that.

Wanna buy him?

For girls desperately seeking man. Last long, strong build, hairy, scruffy, and can be used in about everything. Bonus feature includes a cute butt.



UPDATE: To avoid being a victim of homicide, He is now currently Zaty's (Thx Kim for the heads up! O_O)

See you Kaka Naj!

Tuesday, October 7, 2008
Kaka went back to Japan. The house is now quieter even during the first few days of Raya. Can't believe you spent the whole holiday playing Final Fantasy 12 O_O.

Selamat Hari Raya!

Saturday, October 4, 2008
Enjoy yourselves with your magnificent feasts! While you indulge yourself with your sweets, I'll spend my days somewhere you won't find me ^_^ Have fun everyone!



Will miss Japan ^_^

South Park Character Creator

Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Ever imagined life in the cartoon world? What if you're a 4th grader with the South Park cast and everyday you start cussing and swearing in each episode?

It's fun when you get creative when you design avatars. Its simple, ready and ables you to express your inner rocker!

What you lookin' at?!
