~*Speechless & Damn Piss I Am Right Now*~

Omigowd, omigowd...i just read an unbelievable news headline on Yahoo! Music...and to my horror, the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students are actually urging the organizers to ban Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour right here in Malaysia...all because of her so-called "indecent dressing and obscenity". I know i should be studying at this moment for my last exam paper tomorrow but then, i thought to myself that i could spend some time resting by surfing the internet...thus, releasing my stress and tension. However, immediately after reading this piece of news, my mood was completely destroyed and my heart was shattered into millions of pieces...and i think i could burst into tears at this point of the moment. I've been looking forward towards her upcoming debut live concert in Kuala Lumpur and then, suddenly my dreams and hopes are gone...just in a blink of an eye. They even threatened to ask the authorities to intervene if the organizers do not cancel the concert...what the fuck are they thinking about??? They are brainless...literally...they are only concern for their ownselves...have they ever think about Gwen Stefani's hardcore fans...just like myself...and yes, i am a total hardcore fan Gwen Stefani. Just ask any of my friends and they will know how much i am obsessed with her and how much i adore her. But luckily the decision to cancel Gwen's concert has not been confirm yet...so i pray to God that the lawful authorities and the organizers (the main organizer being Maxis) would allow her to perform here, in my lovely country. Maybe i should stop blogging for now...will continue further tomorrow after i have finished my exam...i am cursing them again right now...stewpid...stewpid...plain stewpid...and brainless too. Logging off...bye!!!

Anyway, just read the article below i have copied and pasted from Yahoo! Music.

Malaysia should pull the plug on the Kuala Lumpur leg of U.S. singer Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour because of her indecent dressing and obscenity, a Muslim students' group said on Tuesday. The 10,000-strong National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students said Stefani's August 21 concert, which is part of her 'Sweet Escape' tour, would clash with local Asian and Islamic values. "Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene," Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, the group's president, told Reuters. "We want the organizers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene." Ethnic Malays, who are by definition Muslims, make up just over half of Malaysia's 26 million people. Ethnic Chinese and Indians, who are mostly Buddhists, Christians or Hindus, form sizeable minorities. Hilmi also criticized Malaysian mobile phone firm Maxis Communications for promoting the concert." Maxis has been staging a series of foreign acts ... to make a profit and to expose our young generation to things such as moral decay," he said. Maxis officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

~*Exam Fever Once Again*~

Holy crap, my finals examination is in two weeks time...i really can't believe how time flies by. In just a blink of an eye, my second year degree programme is finally coming to an end...which i have been waiting for so damn long. It's not that i dislike it, it's just that i hope to graduate as soon as possible and come out to find a decent job. However, I still haven't decide on my future career yet. Although i am taking a law degree programme, it doesn't mean that i want to be a lawyer or an attorney or anything to do with the word L-A-W. My main vision is to venture into human resource department in hopefully a high profile firm/company but then, as always, my vision can change from time to time. How i wish somebody can help me to decide on my future career...i'm totally hopeless when it comes to this particular matter...:( Anyway, my current post as the President of my college's law society will also be coming to an end in about approximately two months where we will be holding our Annual General Meeting to select new committee members for the coming new term. Oh, i just wonder who will be the next President of the law society...being the law society's President has been one of my greatest achievements so far. Ever since i have been voted to be the President, i have known so many new friends...when i said many, it really means a lot more than you can imagined. And the best part is, you get people's respect and it definitely feels great. There is only one con of being a President, which is carrying all the burdens all by yourself...there is a saying which says that "with great powers, come great responsibilities". However, i try not to look at the negative side and focus only on the brighter side. I will definitely miss the moments of myself being the President of the law society in my college.

Anyway, today has been a great day for me...my society organised a visit to the Penang High court which is located inside the Northam Tower building. There were a total of 33 students including myself and two lecturers from our college, namely Mr. Kevin and Ms. Jane. This is my second time visiting a court, my first time was visiting the Federal Court or more commonly known as Palace of Justice in Putrajaya some time back last year. Back to today's court visit...we gathered at the entrance of the court and then we went up to the 3rd floor of the court building at around 8.30am. We were given some brief information about the court's rules & regulations. After that briefing, we were split into three different groups consisting of 11 students each. I was in charged of the first group of students where we were designated to the Traffic Offences & Magistrates hearing. Mr. Kevin was to take lead of the second group where they were designated to the civil offences hearing while lucky Ms. Jane took the third group to the criminal offences hearing. I really wish that my group could go to the criminal offences hearing as that would be much more interesting and fun. But once again, i have to look at the bright and positive side...going to the Traffic Offences and Magistrates hearing wasn't as boring as it seem to be. At least i managed to gain lots of important information regarding traffic offences and the punishments given to the various offenders. For those of you who is reading my blog right now...please be aware not to drink too much alcohol especially if you are the one driving home. If the police catches you consuming too much alcoholic drinks aka "exceeding the permitted limit of alcohol", you could be in grave danger...because you might end up paying a huge amount of fine or worse still, you could be send to prison. So, please do not drink & drive...this is a safety community message brought to you by -Kelvin-...hehehe!!! I am so thankful that i managed to organise this meaningful visit to the court...there's just so much things that i had learned about the proceedings in the court and et cetera. The whole process ended at approximately 11.45am and immediately after that, i went home to take a short nap before heading back to college for class lectures which started at 2.30pm and ended at 8.30pm. After my class had ended...i sped off immediately to gym to attend Aze's Abs & Stretch class...amazingly, i didn't suffer any serious pain after that workout...maybe i am already used to all the tortures and pains considering that this is already my third week in the gym. Anyway, i think i should stop blogging already before i get myself too carried away...it's time for me to have my precious beauty sleep...until then...see you. ;)

~*Two Days of Extreme Fun & Excitement*~

Yesterday was a fun day because i went out with Ivan, Alan, Alvin & Justin for a so-called round Penang island road trip searching for delicious authentic food. Our first stop was to eat the famous laksa at Balik Pulau market. Hmm...it's really delicious...everyone agreed with me except Alvin who thought that the laksa soup should have been thicker. After that, we headed straight to town to a coffee shop where they sell a wide variety of economy rice. Yeah, i know that it is stupid to eat economy rice when our main purpose was to search for famous authentic food around the island. After eating at that place, we went to Swatow Lane coffee shop to have our famous local cuisine...Ice Kachang & Chendul. The Chendul there is just simply mouth-watering. I'm really really in love with Chendul...however, i can't eat too much of that stuff if i really wanna control my diet. Then, after everyone decided that we should not consume anymore food because we have been eating so much throughout the journey, we decided to go to the largest and perhaps the classiest aquarium shop in Penang which bears the name of Chew Thean Yeang. It's my second time there and basically i just walked around following my friends looking at beautiful fishes in an even more beautiful aquariums. By around 3.30pm, we thought that it's time to back to head back and therefore, i dropped each and everyone of them back to their respective houses. Too bad for me that i can't go home and rest because i have to head straightaway to college to attend Tort law class...luckily i managed to arrive early because Mr. Kevin showed us the video presentation of the subjects we are planning to take for our final year in the United Kingdom. After Tort law class, i went out for dinner with Trish & Alvin to eat at a Malay hawker stall along Jones Road...the food there wasn't that great although my main purpose is not to eat, but to chat and hang around with them. After dinner, i have to go back to college to attend Mr. Chin's class, Constitutional & Administrative law class. For the first time, i actually enjoyed his class...maybe of the fact that he taught us Human Rights which i totally loved. By the time i reached home, it's already nearly 9pm and then suddenly i received a call from Ivan asking me to go out for dinner with Nicholas. So, once again, i went out to eat seafood porridge at a very old coffee shop near the airport. Then, we headed to E-Gate Starbucks for a small & short chat...for one last time before Ivan go back to Kuala Lumpur. Finally i reached back at 12 midnight and have a good night rest.

As for today, at around 12 noon, i went to college library to study for my coming examinations till about 4.30pm before heading to gym to meet up with Trish. Aze's class today was as usual, awesome...i always enjoyed his Freestyler classes no matter what happens. It kinda cheer up my mood whenever i'm in his class. After Freestyler, i went to Aze's MTV Style class where he teaches hip-hop class...read my previous post to know more about this hip-hop class. Well, i have to say that today's hip-hop class was difficult...too much spinning and too much complicated moves and it's especially tiring. But then, to keep up with my good impression, i have to act normal and also act as if i'm enjoying the dance...the whole dance thing finally came to end at nearly 8.30pm. By that time, i was really exhausted and went home immediately. Until then...blog some other time...bye!!!

~*My Obsession*~

This post is practically about my favourite idol of all time, Gwen Stefani. She has an awesome voice and both of her albums has sold millions worldwide. I still can't believe that she is coming to Malaysia this August...it's just unbelievable and i couldn't be any happier. I especially enjoyed all her songs in her sophomore album "The Sweet Escape". Among my favourites include "Wind It Up", "The Sweet Escape", "4 In The Morning", "Early Winter", "Yummy", Don't Get It Twisted" and "Wonderful Life". I know that this album has been in stores since last year...however, i am only posting it now because of the fact that she's coming to Malaysia and as i mentioned earlier...i am extremely glad...hurray!!! It' just too bad that none of my friends are following me to see her first live performance in Malaysia. But then, i wouldn't mind going alone since she's my superstar...my idol...my inspiration...my dreams. Gwen is really multi-talented because she can sing, act and open a clothing line which shared the same name as her debut album called "L.A.M.B." Her debut acting performance as Jean Harlow in Martin Scorsese biopic movie "The Aviator" was great too. Maybe there's nothing which i dislike about Gwen...she's just perfect. Okay, i think i should stop being so obsessed with her.

Well, it's time to get back to my personal life...today have been an okay day for me although my body is still aching. I woke up kinda late this morning and headed to college library to study Law of Tort for a couple of hours. Then, meet up with Trish and went to Alvin's house to spend time over there. At about 4pm, we went back to college to attend the Student Council meeting...discussed about our college's prom. And yes, i gotta praise Trish for designing such a beautiful poster for our prom night. You really are talented...ok, ok...i must not forget Alvin too...Alvin's also great...hahaha!!! After the meeting, we went to Kapitan's Nasi Kandar restaurant in Gurney Tower for dinner. I shared a Tandoori Cheese Naan set and a piece of garlic naan with Alvin. We talked and talked non-stop throughout our entire time there...it's just fun gossipping with your close friends. Tomorrow will be a fun day because i am going out with Ivan, Wei Loon & Alvin. We'll be going around Penang island searching for the best food available and at the same, catch up with the good old days. Then at 4.30pm tomorrow, I have to go to college for lecture classes until 8.30pm. Hopefully, the pain around my body will subside by tomorrow. I think that's all for now...i gotta go take my shower already...signing off...bye.

~*Body Ache*~

Ouch, my body is aching and it's so painful throughout the whole day. Thanks to the training session i had yesterday with a female personal trainer named Joey. She really tortured me during the training session and she barely gave me anytime to rest. Oh yeah, guess who i saw in the gym yesterday...Randall Martin Westwood. Yup, you read right...yesterday was his first day in the gym as a personal trainer. He still remembered me and we have a short conversation together. The best part is he is willing to train me to help me achieve my desired weight. That's very very nice of him...but then i told him that i will have to think about it...and besides that, i am really late for Aze's Freestyler class. I nearly did not managed to reserve my seat in the spinning studio but thank God i finally found one right at the corner of the spinning studio. As usual, his class was great and awesome...going to his classes can really help me burn lots of calories. His classes lasted for a solid 5o minutes and after that, i went for my first training session with Joey...who tortured me until i am in great pain right now. When i told her that i am in pain, she said "it's good for you...if there's no pain, there's no gain"...what the fuck??? But then, i told myself i better follow what she said because i don't want to create a bad impression on myself towards her and anyone around me. I nearly cried throughout the training session because every part of my body hurts but then it will be so humiliating if i really did cry. And because of the pain which i am suffering now, i can't go for Aze's Freestyler today...so sad!!! But then, i should not go to the gym so often nowadays because my examinations are in three weeks time and i really should concentrate on my studies. I am so grateful towards Trish for giving such a meaningful advise...and her avise has really awaken my senses. After my examinations are over, i am so gonna "sleep" in the gym 24/7 and i can go to every of Aze's classes without any worries running inside my head. The best part is...i can go to Gwen Stefani's live tour performance concert on the 21st of August in Bukit Jalil Indoor Stadium...i am so happy and thrilled. I am going to buy the most expensive ticket so that i can get a clearer view of my favourite idol...she's just awesome...i mean...who could resist Gwen Stefani? I would do anything for her...well, not everything but at least nearly everything. Summarily, i am just obsessed with her and i love her so much. That's all for now...logging off...bye.
