TV Series: Debris

This is the 3rd time I binge watching this TV series since I first watched it in August.

I love it so much... and still upset it's only for 1 season. Whyyyyyyy???

I love the suspense, the mysteries, the weird encounters... a bit like X-Files and similarly intriguing.

I LOVE IT!

Bryan and Finola made an amazing team with a lot of trust & care for each other. They remind me of Mulder & Scully.

I wish there are more seasons for Debris... huhu... but I don't think that's going to happen. For now, I'll keep watching this one and only season over & over until I can't watch it anymore. *sad*

Bryan & Finola such a good team.

TV Series: Normal People

I just watched the TV show 'Normal People'... I can only stomach until episode 6. 

This show is based on the novel by Sally Rooney. I have a feeling that the author was exploring love of people with self-confidence issues... because the characters Connell and Marianne have exactly that.

Connell treats Marianne the way he did maybe because he feels inferior.

Marianne tolerated Connell treating her that way maybe because she feels that is the right way to be treated by someone who claims to love her.

So far, the only character that I like and have a lot of sense is Lorraine, Connell's mother. 

The rest, hmmmppphhhh...

The wise Lorraine

 

You tell him mom... Your son is a real jerk.

For me, this show convinced me that it is always better for men to make the first move... 

If someone already shown you who they really are, believe them...

And may this kind of love never find me... ahaks!

This quote is accurate on so many situations...

Movie: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I wish y'all happiness.

Remember, you already have true & divine love from up above. 

Bridgerton Season 3: What do you think?

I think, I'm loving the sweet love stories. Colin Bridgerton & Penelope Featherington, Francesca Bridgerton & John Kilmartin. 

Although I do not understand why each couple didn't get a season each. 

So many stories crammed into one season. Argggghhhh... messy!

So many unnecessary scenes that I don't think provide any value to the series. 

Benedict scenes... urgghhhhh... Michaela... why?!  *fed-up*

The dresses, the suits, the flowers, the settings... beautiful.

Colin in in the beginning... awkwardly flirting... ewwww... But the glow-up, wow. Then, when Colin tries to redeem his friendship with Penelope, when he is jealous, his tortured heart... him getting angry, being protective, and taking charge... loveeeeee... I feel like Colin is so innocent and forgiving. As Penelope said, he is a good man. That is so true... I almost wish that he found someone better.

Penelope glows up. Love! Is that it? What else do I love about Penelope? Hmmmm... oh yeah, I love that towards the end she finally owned up to her faults and when I finally realized that she was a very successful writer, I was inspired. However, I was unimpressed with Penelope's heavy breathing... her chest up & down non-stop, and after a few times of that, I was fed up again.

I love how Francesca & John, as introverted and quiet as they are, can still be firm and sure about what they want and not afraid to pursue their wishes.

John Kilmartin seriously can make anyone fall in love with him by just his presence.

Francesca Bridgerton can make anyone fall in love with him with her killer smile and sweet voice. And also, by that determined character of hers. Love! You go, girl!

Gosh she's beautiful! As Claudia Jessie once said to Hannah Dodd, "Have you seen you?!"

I love the mothers... Violet Bridgerton especially. How she knows her children and how her advice is always on point. Portia Featherington is no less. She works hard for her family's survival.

Mama Bridgerton always knows the right thing to say...

Mama Bridgerton always knows what's going on with her children. You're always on her radar. No need to throw tantrums...

Mommy Featherington... it's a tough world, but I'm a tough woman. An occasional headache, so what?

Eloise Bridgerton and Cressida Cowper made an unusually good friendship. I love that Eloise finally takes charge of her life and goes looking for some adventures in Scotland.

An enlightening friendship?

Eloise is off to Scotland. Benedict ought to be looking for a better adventure too. 

Lady Danbury... as smart as always. Such a philanthropist.

I slay and I know it...

*****

“I think you should consider yourself uncommonly lucky you have never been in love.”

I was getting mad at Penelope again when Colin said this to Eloise. We still remember Theo Sharpe right. Eloise and Theo were good together. Not ideal considering the difference in their social statuses, but good, nonetheless.

*****

My favourite ball of all. 

The Butterfly ball!

Now Varley, the bugs!
Genius!

*****

"How lucky I am to stand by your side and soak up even a little bit of your light." 

"If my only purpose in life is to love a woman as great as you, then I will be a very fulfilled man indeed."

You are a very good man Mr. Bridgerton.
Yes you areeeee...

*****

Arghhhh... this Colin Bridgerton guy is making us set unrealistic expectations again. 

But is expecting a man to be a good man, unrealistic? Not at all 💖

Wishing all of us looking for true love, a true love. 💋 

Until next time!

Lukola theme song

I know they already have their song. But this song keeps playing in my brain every time I see them together. *** I'm not hopping off this delulu train anytime soon ***

💘We Could Be in Love💘

🎤 Brad Kane and Lea Salonga

Be still my heart

Lately, its mind is all its own

It would go far and wide

Just to be near you

Even the stars, shining up bright

I've noticed when you're close to me    

Still it remains a mystery.

 

Anyone who's seen us

Knows what's goin' on between us

It doesn't take a genius

To read between the lines

 

And it's not just wishful thinking

Or only me who's dreaming

I know what these are symptoms of

We could be in love.

 

I ask myself why

I sleep like a baby through the night

Maybe it helps to know

You'll be there tomorrow

Don't open my eyes

I'll wake from the spell I'm under

Makes me wonder how (tell me how)

I could live without you now.

 

And what about the laughter

The happy ever after?

Like voices of sweet angels

Calling out our names

 

And it's not just wishful thinking

Or only me who's dreaming

I know what these are symptoms of

We could be in love.

 

All my life, I have dreamed of this

But I could not see your face

 

Don't ask why two such distant stars

Can fall right into place.

 

And it's not just wishful thinking

Or only me who's dreaming

I know what these are symptoms of

We could be in love.

Kuch kuch hota hai... you bet 😉

Bridgerton: Polin or Lukola?

Ok, so four more days before Bridgerton season 3 starts on Netflix. I'm so excited but trying to keep my chill and contain the excitement. Trying unsuccessfully...  

Right now, I need to let these thoughts off my brain...  So, hop on my train and join me on my ride to delulu land.

Since season 1, Penelope and Eloise have been my favourite characters. The best friends who were always there for each other. Eloise is so gorgeous and rebellious; Penelope is so cute and innocent. Both are equally smart. I love that!

Rebellious and innocent 😍

I don't really care for the Bridgerton brothers. I'm not denying the fact that they are all really good-looking. But then, all of the Bridgerton siblings are blessed with good looks and good fortune.

However, since season 1, we've seen something going on between Penelope and Colin. The longing looks between them. How Penelope always cared about Colin and how Colin always protected Penelope. I was hoping for Penelope and Colin to become something more and at the same time realize that they were somehow not ready for that 'something more'.

I'm just noticing that. How did the writers do that? I'm amazed... 

I've got you Pen. Don't you worry about a thing...

The end of season 2 revealed that Penelope is Lady Whistledown (whatttttt???!!!) and Colin said 'I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington' (Colin! How could you?!)

Can you imagine my excitement when I found out that season three is about Penelope and Colin? 

It's finally time for Pen to rise and for Colin to suffer a tiny little bit for what he said. Heheheee...

I hope season 3 is the time for Penelope to shine, not hold back, to pursue and create her own happily ever after. 

I hope season 3 is also the time for Colin to find whatever he is searching for because since season one he looks like he's been searching for something. 

I'm also hoping that Colin will finally 'find' Penelope in season 3. Poor Pen... Holding in all that feeling. And what a loss for Colin if he couldn't find the happiness that could have been his.

Your dreams are grander than you let on...
My purpose shall set me free... 
You cared for me. You would never forsake me...
So many things going on in one scene. 
Truly, matters of the heart cannot be seen by the eyes.

I've read Julia Quinn's Bridgerton books, but I don't think I've read 'Romancing Mr. Bridgerton'. I didn't know this book was about Penelope & Colin. If I did, I would have grabbed and read the book since Bridgerton first came out on Netflix. 

But, now that season 3 is coming out soon, it's too late for me to read the book. I don't want the book to ruin the suspense of season 3. So, I will just wait here patiently for the day to come.

Pursuing a purpose, together 😍

There are a lot of PRs going on promoting season 3. Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington) & Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton) are all over social media. And oh em geeeee... 

They both looked so good, individually and together. Most of the time, they look unbelievably good & too comfortable together. Their chemistry and friendship brought smiles to my face and cheered up my dull days. Looking at them as an outsider, I couldn't help thinking that there is something more and deeper feelings than friendship between them. Seems like season 3 is both 'Polin' and 'Lukola' stories! How wonderful!

I'm pretty sure, we, the fans who are all aboard riding this delulu train are hoping hard for 'Lukola' to 'find' each other. Just like Polin! 

We can only hope & wish. And pray. Sometimes, wishes do come true. 

In the meantime, I keep 'Lukola' in this delulu land coz in delulu land, magic happens, and dreams come true, and couples who are supposed to be together are married and live happily ever after.

That's what we wish for 'Lukola'. But of course, we still will support them in whatever 'kaibigan' that they wish to be.

Be still my heart... Which kind of 'kaibigan' is this? 

Gosh, I'm deep in delulu land. Why not?! In delulu land, everything is trululu.

Ok enough... bye. I can't differentiate Polin vs Lukola anymore. Not sure which one I ship harder. Hahahaaaa...

I really hope season 3 will not let us down and will live up to the hype of all these PRs. 

May you both find your happily ever after. Hopefully, with each other... 💝 

I sign off skipping further into delulu land. 

See y'all soon!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Easily the best movie of 2013...

It has everything... adventures, actions, humours, wits, courage... and even a love story... auwwww...

This movie adaptation made me want to read the book...

Tauriel, Legolas & Bard made me want to sign up for an archery class...

and the landscapes made me want to book a flight to New Zealand like, right now!

Gosh!

Please just go watch it!

The Hunger Games - Catching Fire

I can't wait for this movie to come out in November 2013.

I love the first movie so much and I hope the second one will be much better.

Who doesn't love a tough beautiful kind girl kick-a** and winning a game with a strategically brilliant kind boy who has a crush on her since forever?

I love it. Don't tell me that you don't :P

My favorite my scene from the first movie was when they decided to eat the Knighlock berries.

Such a rebellious underdogs! Brilliant! Just brilliant!

Anyway... for now, I'll just have to be patient and accompany myself with the second book while waiting for the second movie. And, to lure you to flood the cinema the end of this November, I present to you the trailer of the 75th Annual Hunger Games - Catching Fire.

May the odds be ever in your favour!

 

Imagine Dragons - It's Time

After listening to this song over & over again from TM advertisement, I'm hooked to the chorus... and then I'm hooked even more after listening to the whole song. This song will be my driving song for a while :P

It's time to begin, isn't it?   --> YES!
I get a little bit bigger (not literally, please... no bigger than now)
but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am --> but, I will always improve myself!

Hope you'll enjoy this song.

*****

So this is what you meant

When you said that you were spent

And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit

Right to the top

Don't hold back

Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell

And I am left to sell

The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell

Right to the top

Don't look back

Turning the rags and giving the commodities a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely

This house doesn't burn down slowly

To ashes, to ashes

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am

Masha and The Bear (Маша и Медведь)

Found this cartoon from Russia when I was video hopping around YouTube.

Super cute!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Such a delayed post!

LOTR fever never quite left me. I think it never will.
Now I've caught 'The Hobbit' fever. I'm gonna be sick for a long long time :p

I don't need fo write about how wonderful this movie is. Everyone knows it. Peter Jackson & the gang are the best in this business. I'm particularly drawn to the movie locations. The landscapes are amazing. I will go to New Zealand someday. Maybe on sabatical leave. 2 weeks in NZ will not be enough.

Anyway, what I want to say today is, I've always thought Andy Serkis as 'Gollum' is the best actor ever! Ever since LOTR. He has improved so much in 'The Hobbit'. Who would have thought of 'Gollum' as cute & funny. At some point, even feel so sad for him for losing his 'precious'.

Andy Serkis is an amazing actor!

But then, Martin Freeman was amazing too! The way he portrayed the 'Bilbo Baggins' character was very believable. I can understand & even feel how Bilbo was feeling. You can feel the hesitation & the excitement of a homey person who is longing for an adventure.  You can feel the dilemma of someone who has never been in a fight, yet had to go into a battle.  Bilbo showed the true meaning of courage & Martin Freeman expressed that meaning with an accurate facial & body language.

I'm totally impressed.

'The Hobbit' also proven that a movie can be a hit even without hunks & hotties. Let's just admit it. The dwarves are no Boromir, Aragorn, Legolas, Eomer nor Faramir (except maybe for one particular dwarve). But, they are hunks & hotties nevertheless :) And the dwarves are a funny lot. That's a good quality right? Heheheee...



Can you spot the particular one?

The riddle scene between Bilbo & Gollum was most enjoyable. Bilbo is such a smart hobbit. That's very attractive :p

I can't wait for the 2nd movie. But, in the meantime...

Take care y'alls!

Jimmy Palikat - Orang Kampung

I'm in the mood of promoting this to the whole world!
(even though this song has been around for a while now)

Thanks to my mom who kept singing this and now it keeps on playing in my head... ngeeeee...

Enjoy!

Alooo...

Assalamualaikum y'alls! Apa khabar semua? Sihat ke? Semoga kita semua didalam sihat & sejahteralah hendaknya ye. Dah lama rasanya Miss Speechless tak menulis ni... sibuk sangat agaknya sampai idea- idea yang ada semuanya terperosok dalam kepala... tak dapat nak keluarkan...

Bosan sungguh sibuk ni kan... I tak suker :P

Apa- apa pun... tajuk tajuk yang nak ditulis dah saved in draft, supaya tak lupa semua idea- idea tu... Mudah- mudahan weekend ni ada masa nak pulun tulis semua sekali.  Excited ni...

Been so long since Miss Speechless in writing stance :P *skipping*

p/s: syok dapat luahkan perasaan dalam bahasa ibunda ni... heheheee... tapi, mesej tak dapat disampaikan secara global. takpelah... entry yang ni tak penting pun :)

See you guys soon! (I hope!)

Salmon Fishing in The Yemen, Big Miracle & The Hunter

... are three must watch movies.
... all three movies involved animals...
... salmons, gray whales & a tasmanian tiger.
... all three are touching, motivating & full of values.
... my favorite is 'Salmon Fishing in The Yemen'... it's original, intriguing, sweet, touching, smart, funny etc... it's just wonderful. I didn't fast forward at all. Haven't watched a movie like this in a long time. I love it!
... 'Big Miracle' is based on a very inspiring true story that happened back in 1988. 'There is always something that we can do'. That is so true!
... 'The Hunter' is based on a novel set in Tasmania, Australia. Wonderful landscapes... A movie that sparked my curiosity. But, a little sad.
... movie trailers below, for your preview :)

I'm glad I found the time during my surprisingly productive three days weekend to watch these movies.
Enjoy! I hope you'll love these movies as much as I did :)

Tim Bendzko - Wenn Worte meine Sprache wären

I love this song... I first heard it while switching through the TV channels during my lazy times at my hotel room in Hong Kong. For about 10 minutes, the TV channels hopping stopped at the Deutsch channel. There was another band that I loved, but I couldn't remember the band or the song's name.

Luckily I remember this song. It sounds so romantic... :)

I need to really understand German to appreciate the lyrics. Direct translation not really helping... hihihiiii...

Hope you'll love this song as much as I do.

P/s: The other Tim Bendzko's songs are quite good. You should go check it out. Enjoy!

Criminal Minds: Goodbye JJ...

I love Criminal Minds... and I love all the BAU team members in this series. Right now, it's the only TV series that I follow. 

And... Hotchner is the best! Ngeeee...

2nd episode of season 6, JJ left the show... I'm not too sad coz I know that she'll be back. Yeay!

What I want to share today is what JJ wrote on her exit interview... 

"I'm thankful for my years spent with this family; for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow. I'll take the best of them and lead by their example; where ever I go. A friend told me to be honest with you, so here it goes. This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or I don't want to walk around angry. Or maybe it's because I finally understand. There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept; things we don't want to know, but have to learn, and people we can't live without, but have to let go."

That's useful advice... that's what life is :)

Live well everyone!

Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa - The Movie

*In Malay*

My gang & I, we were really looking forward to this movie. We've made a plan to go & watch it as soon as it hits the cinema. And we did just that :)

So, 6 of us... really excited. We met up after work, have enough dinner to get us in the right mood and give us enough energy to enjoy this movie. Heheheee... why were we so excited? OMG! Didn't you guys see the trailer? It was just WOW. It's like an epic movie... complete with warriors, battles, warships, pirates, black magic, the mythical bird 'Garuda' and not to forget, love. Auuuwwwww...

How was the movie?

Mixed feelings *Sigh*

Perhaps I shouldn't have put my expectations so high... but that would be so wrong. I've been waiting for Malaysian movie to start picking up and try to be on the same level with Hollywood movies. KRU Productions did just that. The movie effects were really excellent. It just need a little bit more tuning up & a little bit more experience. So, for effort and an attempt to bring Malaysian movie industry to the next level, I give this movie 10/10. Bravo KRU! I've always respected your vision & talent.

BUT... other than that, there are a lot of improvements needed. I'm not a professional movie critic, so I wouldn't know the aspects that I should consider when judging a movie. In this case, I'm only able to judge based on my overall feelings after I watched this movie and my feelings tell me that a lot of things were off. I came out of the cinema thinking 'what????' and confirmed that this is not the movie that I want to watch for the second time. Once was enough...

The movie wasn't all bad. Some of the parts were good:

• The fight scenes were good even though I think the fights were too fast and I couldn't see the fighting movements, therefore couldn't really appreciate it.
• I like the scenes between the Roman Prince & the China Princess. Good chemistry there *wink*
• Kamawas was really a bad a**. Convincing character. Same goes to the China's Admiral.
• The Princess's maid was a good character. She colored the movie :)
• The scene where we can see Rome's & China's battle ship came to their aid was great. Great CGI at work :)
• And the China Admiral's last dialog was really touching... "Princess, let this life be your wedding present". Wahhhhh... really made me want to cry!

I wrote the good news first. Now, the not so good ones... the list is longer... eikkssssss....  

• I hate the dialogs. Inconsistent and some are really ridiculous. When they speak Malay, I was sure that ancient Malay do not speak that way.
• What's up with the narrator's weird sore throat voice? Are you guys trying to out do Bruce Wayne's voice in Batman Begins?
• The fight scene... what kind of martial art was used in that movie? Not Silat... not Tomoi... although I can see a bit of KungFu. But, there was hardly art in the fighting. Only actions... I think...
• What's up with Embok? That woman seems cuckoo to me... looks like she's having PMS all throughout the movie. Really unstable hormones...
• Poor Rahim Razali... that wig was horrible! And don't get me started on the tiger wig that the bad guy was wearing... worst Halloween costume ever! :P
• Merong Mahawangsa speech before they go into battle with the pirates... could it be any longer? I wasn't inspired nor motivated... it made me sleepy. I rolled my eyes thinking, this Merong really 'syok sendiri'. *yawn*
• "Kami ini bangsa yang banyak parut..." I think I remember that line correctly. I figured it was meant to be implicit... but that sentence was a joke... it made me laugh.
• Somehow, I feel that Stephen Rahman was not the right person to be Merong Mahawangsa. I don't know what is it... but something's off...
• And lastly... I hate the script. It made me lose interest in history. I don't think Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa is that bad... eeeikkkssss...

At the end of the movie, there were people clapping, so I guess there are people who will disagree with what I just wrote :) As for me, I wasn't expecting to laugh at this movie... but I did. To defend myself, I wasn't the only one laughing. I could hear people on the last four rows laugh as if we were watching a comedy. We can't help it. It was ridiculously funny!

I don't mean to condemn Malaysian movies... I admit there are good ones. Hollywood movies are not all good as well. 'Into the Blue' for example. But I didn't blog about that movie.

I blog about 'Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa' because I care. I hope KRU will be extra careful next time, especially when the movie is about history. If the movie is fiction, you are allowed to go crazy as far as your imagination can go.

So... one last question.. is this movie going international??? Oh no...

'Selamat malam, sayang...'

OMG Kamawas... you tickled me! *Sigh*

'Movie critic not for hire' signing out.

Man vs Alien... which is better looking?

I'm in an 'out of this world imagination' mode :)

I just watched 'Star Trek' the movie for the 5th time since I bought the DVD. I watched the movie first at the cinema, but somehow still couldn't get enough of it. It's so good and somehow believable :) The universe, the spaceship, the warp theory (I likeeee...), time travel, the technologies, the charismatic leaders, the fun characters, the special effects, the acting, the directing, the ADVENTURES... woooooo!

While I was watching the movie over and over again, I started thinking 'Wow, this Spock guy is quite good looking, even with pointy ears and a weird face'. Of course Captain George Kirk is still the handsomest (is there such a word?), but for an alien, Spock is quite a catch. No?

Then my thoughts drifted to a question. Why is it that aliens always weird looking?

Sorry, correction... Why is it that aliens invented by human are always naturally weird looking? Are we that vain? Aliens can be good looking too right?

But then again, I'm writing from a human perspective. Those aliens might think that we are the weird looking ones.

I remember one night during university time, I had a conversation with a friend, Mc Ha about the tv series, 'Battlestar Gallactica'. While looking up to the stars we wondered 'What are aliens really like?'. Are they really fierce, ferociuos, always looking to attack us and UGLY? We both agreed to disagree to those questions.

For all we know, they could be just like us... and perhaps that night, they were also looking up to their skies and wondering what those two aliens on planet earth were doing? hihihiiii...

That was a fun imagination.

Anyway... before this wishful thinking saying nite nite, I would like to see an alien movie

which aliens are as oppose to THESE...

(not that 'Yoda' is not cute...)

will look more like THESEEEEE...

wooooo... show me the way to planet gorgeous... hihihihiii...

GOOD LUCK! (Vulcan style :P)

Perpetuum Jazzilee - Africa

I first listened to this amazing choir when I visited Mrs. Miller's blog --> http://mrsmillerlite.blogspot.com/

Perpetuum Jazzilee is a jazz choir from Slovenia. You should listen to them coz they are great. They have great range of voices and great arrangements. Great performance!

The two guys on the left of the front row are really cute. Especially the one with the yellow scarf. Wat up with those dimples? (lalalalaaaaa...) And those guys on the right amaze me, they make musical instruments sounds... My favourite of all is the guy who looks like he's playing a drum. Wow!

You can visit their official website here --> http://www.perpetuumjazzile.si/en/

I hope they'll come to Malaysia... I'll definitely go to see their performance... hopefully the ticket price won't be too expensive.

They are a lot of videos of them in youtube. You can go and check them out. But for starters, you can check them out in mytube :p This is a video of them performing the song 'Africa'. The song is originally by band 'Toto'. You can check out Toto's Africa video on youtube as well.

If you want to sing along, you can find the lyrics below the video... you're welcome :P

********************

Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, hurry boy, its waiting there for you

Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti
I seek to cure whats deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

Chorus

(instrumental break)

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Heartiest Congratulations TOMOK!!!

Oopppsssiieeee... I just have to comment on 'One in A Million 3'. Basically because I owe Tomok an apology.

Sorry dik... all this while I've been calling you 'Tompok'... I did that only because I cannot tahan with New Boyz jiwang songs and your crazy teenager fans.

But, honestly I'm impressed with 'Tomok' now. He gave great performances during OIAM. When Paul Moss & Shafinaz voted him as the top 3, I have no objection at all. None.

I knew about the OIAM 3 result only this morning because I didn't watch OIAM last night. I searched for the video in youtube. Congrats dik... I got goosebumps listening to your performance.

Actually, the other two... Esther & Aweera are also very good performers. No doubt. (so is Amelia... too bad she's not in the final..) But maybe Tomok won because everybody saw how he changed and improved himself. How he managed to slipped away from the image that we've always known. It's quite impressive. Plus... he already have existing fans... and a lot of new ones :)

So, I wish Tomok all the best in his career. I hope Tomok will maintain his OIAM identity instead of the New Boyz's. He looks like an international artist during OIAM.

Adik Tomok, keep up the good work, try to find good songs that you can sing and express from the heart... it's better if you can compose the songs yourself. Don't lose yourself & the good image. I'm pretty sure you can win international listeners and fans... (fuh, I'm quite confident aren't I? ahak ahak...)

So... enjoy the no longer 'Tompok'... TOMOK!!!!

A Pleasant Surprise

Don't you just love a pleasant surprise? I know I do...

Susan Boyle, a contestant in 'British Got Talent' really taught everyone about the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover'.

By the way, there are a lot of good talents in that show... amazing.

Enjoy!
