Anyone Else But You

Halooo!

I was watching Juno on Astro (again) today. It was (again) unmistakably AMAZING... but I guess those who've seen it already knows this. Those who haven't... please please PLEASE catch it on Astro. Even though quite abit of the dialogues were censored out, this doesn't totally damage the effect Juno's dialogues (and often monologues) has on the audience (me especially). Witty, funny, sarcastic... ahh... me likey.

But I'm not gonna write about Juno tonight. No, tonight, I'm gonna tell you about one of the most significant songs in the movie soundtrack. If you've seen the movie, you will notice that this is the song Juno and Bleeker sang at the end of the movie.. you know, at Bleeker's front steps? I absolutely LOVE this song, so much so that everytime I finish watching Juno, i feel like going online just to watch the song's videoclip on YouTube.

It has a catchy tone, simple acoustic guitar music, selamba-ish singing... and the lyrics will make you wanna laugh and feel the warm fuzzies all at once. Don't believe me? Here's the lyrics for ya:

The Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else but You

Kimya: You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Adam: I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Kimya: Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Adam: The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Kimya: I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Both:
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du

Kimya: Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Adam: You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Kimya: We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Adam: Don Quixote was a steel driving man. My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Kimya: Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Both:
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
But you

Sweet? Funny? Wait till you hear the actual song itself... feel free to search for it on YouTube okie! After watching Juno at the movies for the first time, this song got stuck in my head like glue. I just couldnt stop playing it over and over! I know the lyrics may seem kinda juvenile and plain absurd, but somehow the message kinda comes through -- that no matter how weird or unappealing we are to the rest of the world, to your significant other, you mean the world. Despite the wacky delivery of the song... it is still, ultimately, a love song. An unconventional one, but a love song nonetheless.

But hey, that's just me... I like different. I find songs like these are like a breath of fresh air after all the Celine Dions and Brian McKnights... not that they're not nice though. But every once in a while a change would do all of us some good, right?

So overall.. i would have to give the Moldy Peaches' lovely song:

RaveFactor: 4.5/5 <--Almost! But as Juno would've said: It's still "Golden"... ;)

Sweet dream, my pretties!

Sniff Sniff!

Chaks!

Aiks? More stuff for sale?

New Mall In Town!

Heyya!

Ok so i think its time to take a break from all the tudung business for a sec... and slip in a lil review... I've not been to many new places lately, but after visiting my friend Iqa in confinement 2 weekends ago me n Hubster decided to check out the newest mall in town -- Tropicana City Mall. It's located right at the corner of LDP and NKVE, and although it's not fully completed, the mall is up and running and attracting a considerable amount of shoppers.

We first went straight to the information desk. You can actually tell alot about a mall by its information desk's service. And for a small new mall, i must say that this mall is starting their operations with a good start. First of all, they have all the basic facilities that a mall should provide: Wheelchairs, baby strollers and a concise mall directory. Although the amount of wheelchairs and strollers are abismal, but it's definitely better than nothing, right? Since we didn't bring our Deena's stroller for this outing, we decided to use theirs. After filling up the necessary paperwork, lo and behold -- a bright red MacLaren stroller was rolled out from behind the counter. MacLaren?!?! Wow. Even the huge Sunway Pyramid uses Sweet Cherry.. huhu.

So after checking out some of the colourful booths on the ground floor, we decided to have a very early dinner at Pho Hoa. For those who's never heard of this restaurant, it serves huge bowls of delicious noodle soup with various parts of beef such as steaks, flanks and "perut" as condiments. And lemme tell ya... the meat are SO tender! Those of you who love soups should really have a go at this restaurant. It has a rather nice asian ambience, too! After eating our fill we managed to snap a couple of pix...

Deena and her Abah (who's attempting to grin like Deena usually does.. hehe)

This is what the grin should look like... cheeky, eh?

Two sisters. The one in red is gonna fly off to Sydney for studies end of this month so we're hogging her time to the max! Hehe

After we were full to the brim, we decided to window shop! The retail tenants were preddy good in TCM. There's Carrefour, Borders, Esprit, Nichii... just to name a few. The food outlets are nice too -- there's Kenny Rogers, Pho Hoa, Starbucks and this new place (well new to me anywayz) called BadAss Coffee. Will definitely go there one day!

Some of us had to answer nature's call, so it was a good time to check out the loos... and boy, were they fabulous! Wood panelled stall doors and chic washbasins? Almost hotel material, i reckon. The only downside is the lack of diaper changing facilities in the women's washroom. We followed the "baby room" signs, hoping to find a cool, excellently furnished room for diaper changing and breastfeeding.. only to find that it wasn't done yet! Looking in from the glass doors, we could see a diaper table and possibly panels for a sink and a breastfeeding room, but the rest were preddy much rubble and cement so I really cant say how good it's gonna be. But rest assured that I shall come again to check it out! (Aida: How's this for a baby room report? hehe)

After much walking around (well actually running around chasing after Deena who refuses to sit in the stroller for long), we went into my new fave boutique -- Kitschen. They have funky tees and blouses there! I got carried away with trying out one too many shirts so Hubster entertained our lil munchkin while waiting for me. And this is the result:

Why is Ummi carrying all those shirts?


Can we go home now, Abah?

After much window shopping, i ended up buying something from Nichii instead, haha. Oh well, at least i found a long tee with long sleeves, which is virtually impossible considering my not-so-flattering figure... huhu. After that, Deena started her "whining" machine so that means we had to leave for home. I went home satisfied coz I have discovered yet another haunt that's not too far from home... What can i say? I'm a shopaholic to the core... hehehe.

So after my first visit to TCM, i would have to give it:

RAVE-FACTOR: 3 / 5

Till next entry then, ciao!

Alternative Style for Pesona Tudung

Hello again!

For those of you who feel that the tudung you have is abit on the longer side, this is a style that may solve your "unruly" tudung problems. Those of you who are petite may also use this style as the tudung would surely be abit longer on you on account of your smaller face and body frame. For those who are abit "cuter" may find this style handy when the tudung your have come a tad too short and cant be slipped in under your chin. Happy experimenting!

STEP 1: As per previous entry, place the awning over the top of your head and pin the tudung underneath your chin.

STEP 2: Pull the longer part of the tudung to your right and pull upwards.


STEP 3: Continue to pull the tudung neatly over the top of your head and downwards to your left cheek.


STEP 4: Pin the tudung at the left side of your cheek as per photo carefully. You don't have to slip the end of the tudung underneath your chin for this style.

STEP 5: Pull the shorter part of the tudung to your left shoulder and secure it with a brooch.

Pesona Tudung Tutorial

Hi!

I've received several requests to upload a "Tudung Tutorial"... one that would teach you how to wear the Pesona Tudung i'm selling. To be honest, I'm no pro in wearing them either, but i can give the basic guidelines on how to wear them. And though it may appear detailed, it is up to the wearer herself to fold and wrap the tudung nicely and neatly to suit her face shape and most importantly, comfort. Anyway, hope this helps!

STEP 1: Place the "awning" on the top of your head as per photo. The longer part of the tudung should be on your left while the shorter part on your right.

STEP 2: Pin the tudung underneath your chin. Adjust to your own comfort.

STEP 3: Pull the longer part of the tudung across your chest and to your right, pulling it upwards.

STEP 4: Continue to pull the longer part of the tudung over the top of your head and downwards towards the left side of your face, securing it neatly and firmly.

STEP 5: Slip in the end of the tudung underneath your chin. You may secure it further with a brooch if you so wish.

STEP 6: Now take the shorter side of the tudung on your right and pull it towards your left shoulder.

STEP 7: Arrange the folds of the tudung to your taste and secure it with another brooch on your left shoulder.

RESULT

FRONT VIEW: Voila! This is what you should look like (or attempt to look like.. hehe).
