crush~

hmm...recently quite like this song, recommending it to everyone. the song's sung by david archuleta, 2008 this year's american idol number 2.

i didn't really watch this year's idol. frankly speaking, i just know that both finalist are both named david and i've only heard david cook's time of my life. i think his name is quite unique as well, ar-chu-le-ta. in the mtv, we can see that david archuleta's quite talented, can play piano and guitar somemore, and he's only 17!

i heard this song in radio and already like it first time i hear it. also went to search for the lyrics and sort of like the lyrics as well, haha, maybe it sort of reflect my current feelings as well?>_<

the song's quite fast pace, haha, not my specialty type of song after i tried it out a few times. quite exhausting actually just to sing along with the song.

too bad youtube can't allow it to embed the mtv here. don't know why last time it can be done. most probably of copyright issues. last time it's easier, can directly embedded into blogspot, now kenot le...need to find from other sources.

enjoy it! here's the lyrics and video, taken from here

Lyrics | David Archuleta lyrics - Crush lyrics

I hung up
The phone tonight
Something happened
For the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush
What a rush
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever
Feel the same way
About me
It's just too much
Just too much
Why do I keep running
From the truth
All I ever think
About is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this can go
Am I crazy
Or falling in love
Is it really
Just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way you do
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush
Ain't goin' away
Goin' away

Has it ever crossed
Your mind
When were hangin'
Spending time girl
Are we just friends
Is there more
Is there more
See it's a chance
We've gotta take
Cause I believe
That we can
Make this into
Something
That will last
Last forever
Forever

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy
Or falling in love
Is it really just
Another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way you do
'Cause I'm trying,trying to walk away
But I know this crush
Ain't goin' away
Goin' away

Why do I keep running
From the truth
All I ever think
About is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this can go
Am I crazy
Or falling in love
Is it really just
Another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way you do
'Cause I'm trying, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush
Ain't goin' away
Goin' away
Goin' away

personality test~

woke up blur blur on a saturday morning when i received this link from my housemate to do a personality test.

the personality test is available only in chinese:P

here's my result:

平和型（隨和豁達，樂天知命）

您通常是溫暖、友善、忍耐、隨和、不好競爭，以及愛說話。您偏好和平、有組織、可預期而舒服的生活。
您喜歡配合環境，因而很難知道自己的優先次序，變成跟隨別人所希望而去做事，有時候甚至模仿別人說話的腔調、用詞，以及身體語言。

優點：
非常主動，具有眾多興趣和嗜好。您喜歡與人為伍，可以為了別人而發揮最具生產力的工作成效。

缺點：
您會「自我遺忘」，失去了什麼是對自己真正重要的覺察力。您很容易分心，即使一個人時，亦有可能把高度優先的事情留到最後才做。看起來很像是拖延，但並不故意。

愛情：
您一旦擁有了關係，不會想到分離，而且會承諾去經營恆常不分離的關係。您既忠誠又慷慨，可以不帶妒忌或競爭心去支持並慶賀伴侶的成功，當伴侶的需要浮現時，更能給予回應。

您的憤怒最有可能在親密關係中顯現。因為當您迎合別人時，自己就消失了。
「我有好長一段時間不知道自己的感覺，總是一片空白。當她投射出她所認為我感覺到的事情時，我們便陷入爭吵。我痛恨這種情形，但是對於引發我找到自己想要什麼確實有幫助。」

安定方位：成就型
在安定的狀態下您會變得很專一，能在短時間內完成許多傑出的事。

壓力方位：忠誠型
當面對感情的壓力或情緒對抗時，您會變得充滿恐懼，意識到所潛在的威脅，不但變得退縮，甚至唯命是從、好鬥、彆扭而且更頑固。

建意：
問問自己的想法，而非顧慮別人的意見
注意您對改變的不適感，學習歡迎新事物。
注意您的頑固和被動式抗拒

最渴望：和洽相處
最恐懼：有紛爭，有衝突
最難達到的美德：果斷 (Right action)
最難克服的執念：懶惰 (Sloth)

hehe, i'm lazy to translate it to english.

in summary, it says that i'm quite a gentle, friendly, easy going, patience and dislike conflict kind of guy.

haha what you guys think? i think it describe most of my personality, but there's few that i don't think is accurate. like e.g. i'm not really not active type, usually more towards the passive type, depending on situations and people around me.

each question only offer two choice of answer and some of the question both answer are not my answer but i still need to choose one that is the nearest.

i like to do personality test actually. it sort of help me understand myself more. although it may not be accurate sometimes but it's fun anyway n who knows wat u'll discover next about yourself which you least expected.

by understanding myself more, it would somehow made life easier for me and i'll know which part i should improve on myself. my own's life long journey of self discovery. haha, to be a betterman as in the song sung popular by robbie williams.

hehe, do try it out!:)

ASIMO

image taken from here

went to one Utama today to meet friends and played some bowling and coincedently ASIMO was in town! it attracted alot of audience when the show started, especially parents bring their children to see it. this robot has travelled around the world and of course, we wouldn't miss the chance to see it.

ASIMO stands for Advanced Step in Innovate Mobility. i heard of ASIMO before and read some of it from advertisement, especially it's symbolic slogan "it inspires us to dream". but one thing for sure, to see it with your own eyes really amazed you. i was thinking like whether if there is a human within the suit or not, because ASIMO's movement is quite fluent like human and has many humanlike behaviours.

it can mimic other people's movement like run, dance, wave hands, claps hands and many more. more amazing is that it is not pre-programmed to do all this movement but instead it is able to respond according to its environment.

one of the gigs that i know it perform is that it can received a tray from a human personnel, walk to the other end of stage and put the tray on the table.

ASIMO's voice and design is quite alike children. i think maybe it's because to don't make it look too intidimating and make it more friendly and lovable looking instead like children. after reading from the website, i've get to know that it's 120cm height is idealy for operating in a living human environment,whereby it is tall enough to open the door, operate copier machines, do stuff on the tables..etc..wow..the japanese really did alot of R&D on this!


image taken from here

i saw from the website, whereby it can even conduct a sympony! you should watch the video of how gracefull ASIMO's hand movements are while it is conducting! walao...really amazing..haha, i duno how many times i use amazing already:P

although the show last about 20minutes, i think it's quite inspiring (like the slogan) it somehow inspires hopes for a better future as well, whereby technology can bring many amazing changes to our lifes. it also made me think that robots or advanced intelligent are not necessary evil and would turn against human race like those in the movies haha, it all depends on our hands really.

for more information about ASIMO, check out it's website here

haha, i suddenly realize that my surname is in the middle of its name:P

an unordinary encounter~

i encountered something quite non-ordinary today.

as i got off frm my car as i reach home today, i was approached by a stranger. it was raining a little and he was soaked from the rain. a middle aged man, looks like indian and spoke to me in very gud english.

he say that he's just got robbed! he parked his car by the road side to rest and forgot to look the car. the robbers took away all his wallet, handphone and car. he just came back from the police station, and he say that the police wouldn't give him a lift home to PJ, even didn't borrowed him money. so he was disappointed and walk all the way frm the police station towards the major bus station, and hoping that someone could spare him money to take a bus back to his home, PD which is bout one hour from here.

i looked around and saw there is no one else around me. from my judgement i think he's quite genuine, from the tone of his voice, and by the looks in his eyes. and especially becos he speaks quite gud english! i may be biased, but i'm thinking if he could speak such good english, it shouldn't require him to come to be a cheater.

so, i've decided to give him money. i put down the tapao rice food container on the floor, and as i reach for my wallet, luckly i remembered to take a step sideway to keep a safe distance away from him. just to be on the safe side. he was very glad after receiving RM12 and ask whether how he could contact me to return me the money.

i was thinking ...aiyo, u've lost your car, your wallet, your hp already...no need to me la....so i told him no need, and bid him to be more careful next time. and then i saw walked and walked until the end of the road. i sudenly realise that if he walked to Puduraya bus station, it would take him one hour plus? i was wondering if i should offer him a lift, but then i think nola...i've done my part, it's too risky as you never know what will happen.

but then, there's another issue that is of personal safety. it's also hard to say, as maybe the safest action for me to do is to ignore him and walked away. you may never know when that guy is getting your attention, somebody else will attack you from your back. as you know, the crimes rates are quite bad. i've previous bad encounters before, so i know how it feel to be a victim. haha, or maybe i'm lucky that the stranger didn't turn up to be a robber.

conclustion is that i will never know if i'm being cheated or not, but at least i can still answer to my heart if he's really in need. at least i could make up his day for all the bad things he went through. and if i'm being cheated, oh well...
cheated mah cheated lo...count me as unlucky then.
