"I'm not moving..."

I just realised the existence of this song as I was eating my breakfast at Hasra and it popped up on Hitz.tv and I don't know if other people already knew this song as it was a 2008 song (I am kinda slow sometimes, not being a radio listener much) : The Man That Can't Be Moved by The Script. Even if I never heard of the group, I checked it out, the song is quite good. It is interesting and even amusing to me; the guy who was singing it was just walking along the streets of the city but he suddenly sat down and decided to stay there - like, really stay. Later, people began to crowd the guy as he kept singing the song and eventually reporters came until police even chased them away. Then only I realised what the song was about: a guy decided to sit at the place, waiting for the girl he loves until she comes and he won't move till then. The song's video really follows the lyrics, apparently - sorta, I realised.

and maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved, where he appeared on the news..

And as I check out their maybe new song Talk You Down, I realise the video also fit the lyrics. Like below, for that moment in the vid, it all goes well when the girl carries her briefcase and off into a taxi.

Grab your suitcase call a taxi

Haha... this is turning into a music video analysis. But now I officially like this Irish band for their music, especially the lead's voice who also plays the keys.

Check this out, erm but haha dont mind as the guitarist goes 'fucking Script' at the beginning of this vid where they perform Before The Worst. It's awesome.

time 23.4.09

"By the time I graduate, I'll be 30."

or so, says my benchmate in Microbiology lab of em I don't really know her name if you are reading which I doubt you are would you tell me your name? A double-degree in BioMed, talking about how she had to start things all over again when she takes her Medic course next year, this would be her final year (I think) - and it all just seems like a long journey.

Time. It passes by so fast. And uh-oh, my Acer Travelmate 290 is 5 years already I think! And I believe I didn't tell yet: I got an Asus Eee PC 900HA. Pretty much for the convenience of bringing it to Monash every day. No worries coz I love both of them just fine. So T-290 should not merajuk with me!

Yeah... can you believe it? It's already going to be May. It's been a while. There are changes in every aspect of life. Life is constantly changing, everytime. I am not really up with the pace so far.

All one could do is keep trying and believe in yourself.

Oh, the recommended movie this time around is Taiyou no Uta starring Japanese singer Yui, a 2006 movie about a girl who sings and plays guitar, and keep on to living her life with her musical passion throughout her life with the disease Xeroderma pigmentosa (XP) in which the girl cannot expose herself under the sun - something to do with inability of skin to repair DNA damage caused by UV light. Uh-oh, sounds too Genetics-like! That info came from what I searched on, I think, it was kind of interesting. And if it's Yui's music, it's definitely good; my fav Japanese musician.

Yup, been so used to doing references. Saje je. Hehe

LoL. Yeah, some movie sequels tend to be really bad it'd be better off if there weren't any sequels in the first place. That sentence just made me amused while reading the book when I was studying Genetics for the test tomorrow. For Dummies series really suits people like me. ^^

see me 2.4.09

"See me."

Or, come and see me. Such words. Ah, I have to say, I don't like them. It represents that I have done something wrong. It's good though, they would explain to you things that you make mistakes of. But I know that at the moment I am not yet capable of getting the grip of it and clearing those mistakes yet. Clearly, for the recent 'see me' message by my Microbe demonstrator Alfred, it's something I know what about. Usually, when I get such messages, I end up ignoring them and so I never really end up seeing the people who asked me to see them. As if I already know what they want to tell me.

One thing I remember regarding this was back then when I keep failing my Math in Ausmat and Puan Mariyani keeps writing on my test papers with her red pen after she gave the markings. At the time I felt like it was no use if I went to see her if she tried to teach me all the things but I would end up understanding nothing, so I didn't go and see her at all. But I still wanted some kind of motivation. Instead of asking to be taught, I just took a note from her this particular day that I still kept. And even, I took it for another friend who I thought might benefit from it, although I did not know whether that friend really benefited from it or not or even remembered about it. I just did what Ifyani would always try to do: motivate herself and anyone she could, whatever circumstances.

Just some ordinary note it might be from a kind teacher.

Dear Ifyani,

Puan doakan semoga Ifyani sihat dan teruskan hingga BERJAYA dunia akhirat.

Yeah well, probably because I had a talk with her about why I was failing back then and never seemed to improve, even for the simplest stuff. Not a kind of thing to do around here, especially not with the strict Alfred, who today even had a strange look on his face when he looked at my quiz paper answers, seemed like I danged there as well. The second quiz and I flunked again. Ding dong!

Rajin, If. Time to realise your capabilities and your pace. You gotta move, some others move faster than you. The only thing you had ever been successful at throughout your life - you don't wanna lose that again?

Ahha - come on now, move!
