Please be a professional!!!

It is hard to live with the community that always takes for granted. I was pissed to hear bad things people said behind my back. I had this assistant and he said I complaining too much that’s why he resigned. The problem was he did so many mistake and to make it worst I must clean all his shit. I had done so many things and even sacrifice my time to make the hall proper and still people are condemning my contribution. Now I know what ex- house sec feels about people in my community and how they treated her so badly. 

Loving strangers

Each time I listen to the song, it will definitely remind me to my love ones. I can't wait to go back to Malaysia because I haven't meet anyone special here to make me stay. I love loving strangers song because it is a good song.

P/S: I was waiting for you to chat. ;p

'L Word' star booted off plane over kissing dispute

LOS ANGELES, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Former "The L Word" star Leisha Hailey has complained in a stream of Twitter messages that she and a girlfriend were kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight in a dispute over their kissing on a plane.


Hailey, 40, tweeted that a flight attendant had told her that Southwest "was a 'family' airline and kissing was not ok," and that she and her companion were then "escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue."

"SouthwestAir endorses homophobic employees," she tweeted. "Since when is showing affection towards someone you love illegal? I want to know what Southwest Airlines considers a 'family.'"

She went on to tweet: "Boycott SouthwestAir if you are gay. They don't like us."

Hailey, who starred on Showtime network's "The L Word" as Alice, a bisexual magazine writer and radio host, also demanded a public apology.

The airline issued a statement saying initial reports it received about the incident "indicate that we received several passenger complaints characterising the behaviour as excessive."

"Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behaviour and not gender," the airline said. "The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight."

The statement concluded: "We regret any circumstance where a passenger does not have a positive experience on Southwest and we are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectation."

An airline spokesman declined to comment beyond the prepared statement.

The incident comes a little over three weeks after another celebrity, Green Day rocker Billie Joe Armstrong, was complained he was booted from a Southwest flight in Oakland, California, because he was wearing his baggy pants too low.

Last night my friends and I went to see Mary Poppins in Capitol Theatre Sydney. The performance was brilliant.

Once you're married, say buh-bye to your single friends.

This is a good article because I do feel that way because my married friends seem to mind their own business with their family. Sometimes I think being married like you don't have your freedom to hang out with your friends. And sometimes their husband or wife gets jealous.

Petals of tears

(English Translation)

I’m trying, I'll get into your love, like i'm in your blood


By riding straight to your heart,

Sadness isn’t coming.

And by the petals of tears

You will truly leave with me

But we'll part ways again

Read, look into my eyes

I'm afraid to stay with you

Understand, that i'm not her

But i don't believe the other

Only just

I don't believe in any other

only just

I don't believe in any other

And our shadows come together for us

Time turns, a moment to you and I, light from the window

And from the petals of flowers fall no tears (*)

fly my love

Read, look into my eyes

I'm afraid to stay with you

Understand, that i'm not her

But i don't believe the other

Only just

I don't believe in any other

only just

loss

I don't believe in any other

i'll try

Read, in my eyes

understand that i'm not the one

Read, look into my eyes

I'm afraid to stay with you

Understand, that i'm not her

But i don't believe the other

Only just

I don't believe in any other

Without you the earth blossoms petals

Blossoms petal's tears

Without you the moon flowers petals

Blossoms petal's tears

Without you the earth blossoms petals

Blossoms petals tears

A year too go...

It's been 5 months I have been staying in Australia. So far I love Australia for being a good country to live and full with beautiful places and events.

Most of my close friends are going back for good to Malaysia. I will be missing them because it is hard to find good friends in foreign country. I will finish my studies within a year and we will be meeting again in Malaysia.

Finally Room in Rome DVD

I couldn’t be happier to have Room in Rome DVD as my collection. Finally, I bought it from eBay and received it on last Monday 27^th. Happy face!!! ;D

Andrej Pejic causes confusion at San Paulo Fashion week

The androgynous model causes confusion on the Brazilian runway, donning both menswear and womenswear in one show.

 

 
This year is definitely Andrej Pejic’s year. The androgynous male model has broken down barriers on the runway, on magazine covers and in print ads.

At the San Paulo Fashion Week, Pejic took two turns on the Lino Villaventura runway, one in menswear and one in womenswear.

The handsome blond beauty first walked the runway in a slouchy black suit, and then closed the show in a dramatic charcoal gown with ruffles.


Pejic was recently in the news after FHM named the male model its 98th sexist women in the world.

Pejic has had a constant battle with the media about his gender and modelling.


Last month he featured on the Dossier magazine cover taking his shirt off with curlers in his hair, reportedly censored by Borders and Barnes & Noble.

When Pejic was asked what he thought about the cover he said, “I think the question really isn't the gender of the person on the cover, it's whether it's porn or it's art.”

What are your thoughts on the androgynous model? Do you think gender-bending models are the way of the future?

Androgynous Model Andrej Pejic Censored In US Bookstores

A magazine cover featuring Australian model Andrej Pejic has been censored.

Barnes and Noble and Borders in the US have reportedly censored a magazine cover featuring an image of androgynous model Andrej Pejic topless because he "looks too female".

According to media reports, the bookstores have requested that the latest issue of Dossier magazine be wrapped in opaque paper in order not to "offend" customers.

Although Barnes and Noble and Borders have been quick to defend their decision, stating that Pejiclooked "too much like a woman", other media outlets are outraged over what they say is "blatant discrimination".

"Pejic is a man -and pictures of shirtless men, in Western culture, are not considered 'obscene,' said jezebel.com. "So why is Pejic's cover getting the same treatment as a porno mag?"


The creative director of Dossier, Skye Parrott, admitted he was surprised by the decision to censor the image of Pejic, saying, "it seems that it probably made people uncomfortable. But that's part of what's interesting about the cover, I think, is that it's playing with those ideas of gender roles. He's topless, you can see that he's a man, but if you look at his face, he looks like a woman and he's so beautiful..."

Although there's been no comment from Pejic yet, the Melbourne model said just last month that he was "enjoying the ride", which so far has seen him take to the catwalks of Paris and represent Australian department store Myer.

"Andrej represents the 'universal,'" Myer CEO Bernie Brookes explained at the time. "The way we tolerate and are patient with all kinds of differences now."

Natasha Yarovenko DT Magazine

I’m so happy to have Natasha Yarovenko DT Magazine. Luckily I went out today and went to News Agency and I found that magazine. It is a Spanish magazine and luckily I can understand what she was talking about but most of them I must Google for the translation.

Yesterday I just bought Room in Rome DVD through eBay and can’t wait to have it!!! Me gusta Natasha Yarovenko. ;p

Room in Rome

Last Tuesday after the final submission of my project, I went to JB Hi-Fi store at George Street and hoping that I can buy a Bewitched or Room in Rome DVD. How frustrating to know that Room in Rome out of stock and they only got it at Black Town and other place which was I don’t remember. Wow! I’m amazed because so many people like the movie. I think people like that movie because of the lesbian element and got two stunning actresses with great body.

Even at Video Ezy this movie is a hot item and it is hard to rent because each time I go the DVD is not available. Sigh...! 

Spanish Lecturer

Lately I always speak simple Spanish with my friend. This makes me remember my lovely Spanish lecturer Mr. Joel. He is such a good lecturer and I had so much fun learning Spanish from him. I tried to find him in Facebook but couldn’t find it. He will always be my favourite Spanish lecturer. Thank you Mr. Joel and hope someday I will be fluent in Spanish language. ;p

Happy Birthday Daul Kim!

Accepting Asian People?

It’s been three month I live in Australia and finally I can make friends but it seems I still can’t make friends with local people. I don’t know why but it seems hard to attract their attention maybe because I’m Asian. It seems that I’m more comfortable to make friends with others people from Asia. I don’t know this might be my opinion but it seems that some people are racist toward Asian people.


I wish that someday I could experience living in another country and make comparison about the acceptation of Asian people coming to their country.

Natasha Yarovenko

I love this famous Spanish actress after watching Room in Rome. I like her stunning body and her long hair so beautiful. She is so beautiful and talented in that film. I love the film so much because it is so touching and artistic.

Italian Language

I’m going to learn Italian language but I won’t attend any classes. I might buy Italian language CD. I already have basic in Spanish so I think I can manage to learn Italian by myself. I love Latin language. Haha after this I will understand what inside Italian Vogue.

LOVE Magazine Cover by Lea T

Finally I found the magazine but actually I wanted the cover that Kate Moss and Lea T kissing. I have seen the magazine but I won't buy it because the cover already torn a bit. I have been looking around and lastly I found this cover. I'm happy to have it as my collection but the price on the magazine annoys me because I have expected that abroad magazine don't have the price on the magazine like Malaysia do. But I was wrong! I love magazines that are free from any price sticker. 

Isabella Ragonese Interview in Vogue Italia

"I've stopped thinking in terms like, 'It's just a dress.' It's like people saying to me: 'What are you so nervous about? It's just a film!"

"In Cannes I will focus on my dress. On such occasions a dress is a way to say: 'Here I am'"


Famous for

She's the call-center girl in the film Tutta la vita davanti by Paolo Virzì. In competition at Cannes with La Nostra Vita by Daniele Luchetti: "Elio Germano and I work well together. Even looks-wise."

Personal style

Au naturel, but only on the outside. "Who said I don't like playing the vamp lady? Sure, I like to change all the time: I love dressing up, it's the good part of being an actress, right?"

Zoom

Born in Palermo in a family of cinema and theater lovers, she adores her home town: "I used to ride around on a Vespa with my first boyfriend and I would close my eyes and try to recognize the streets by their smells. When in Paris, on my Erasmus project, I would dream of those same streets, of the itineraries I chose to reach University or Mondello. I really missed my city."

Theater helped her train for cinema, with lots of stage performances (also as an author): in 2000 she took a diploma in acting at the Teatès school in her home town and took part in all available workshops and internships. "And so, one day, while I was touring in Pisa, I was noticed by a collaborator of film director Virzì who was looking for the leading actress of his next movie. After five auditions I was cast."

At college, she studied philosophy. For Virzì's film she has even reworked parts of the dissertation thesis of the main character: "They had no meaning, so I rewrote them."

She hates being labelled or defined in any way: "I follow an individual, clear path, I choose things that that are not boring."

"I'm very proud of going to Cannes with La Nostra Vita by Luchetti. I share everyone's pride: from the makeup artist to the cameraman. It's a group effort, we actors are just the representatives."

She will debut on TV next fall, in serial Il Commissario Montalbano: "An affectionate participation, an homage to a TV show I used to watch all the time."

Public style

"I know little about high fashion, I choose not to be dressed by a single designer: I believe that each brand has an item, maybe even only one, that suits me."

Private style

"I don't know how to apply make-up but I like to take care of my body, in my own way I feel sensuous. I think that sensuousness is actually something else from the stereotypes we get all the time".

Shoes

She hates pointy shoes: "Why adding another half-foot to yours?"

Hair

Auburn-colored and done up for Tutta la vita davanti, wavy and natural brown for Viola di mare, blonde for Due vite per caso: her hair changes according to the role and the character she plays.

Jewelry

Yellow gold earrings and necklaces.

Favorite dress

"There's a '70s dress of my mother's, a Marianne Faithful kind of pattern. I put it on when I'm feeling down and it cheers me up."

Favorite designers

For the red carpet she usually chooses Gucci, Cavalli and Missoni.
Favorite book

Life: A User's Manual, by Georges Perec. "You can begin it and end it when you wish. It always makes sense."

Favorite music

Gianna Nannini, Franco Battiato.

Favorite actresses

"My idols have always been Gena Rowlands, Diane Keaton, Debra Winger, Monica Vitti, strong, determined and also a little masculine women. I get inspired a lot by actors, too. For instance, I always keep in mind Marcello Mastroianni in Una giornata particolare playing the role of a homosexual."

She loves

"Cold cuts and Emilia-Romagna cuisine."

She hates

"Boredom and animal prints."

We love her because

The sunny and spontaneous way she interacts with the audience, without acting like a diva.

Haha... my friends also love The Sea Purple movie. I love Valeria Solarino and Isabella Ragonese. They are talented actresses. I want to learn Italy language because I can’t understand their interviews at YouTube.

The Sea Purple

(Isabella Regonese & Valeria Solarino)

Sara & Angela

Yesterday my friend and I went to Video Ezy and we rented 4 movies. We choose the movies that we think we can’t see in Malaysia. I choose The Sea Purple movie because I am curious to watch after reading the synopsis at the back of the DVD. I can rent the movie only for one day only because it is a new release. Last night I watched the movie and I find it’s a beautiful and a good movie. But sadly as usual gay theme movie always end up sad ending.

Based on a true story and adapted from Giacomo Pilati’s novel, the film tells the 19th Century story of Angela, a tomboy living by the water in Sicily. After falling in love with her best friend Sara, her father forces her to marry one of his employees. After being locked away for her actions, it is up to Angela and her mother to develop a plan of acceptance (Bryce J. Renninger 2010).

Daul Kim Russh Magazine

I was happy to received Daul Kim Russh Magazine on 13^th April because I was looking for the magazine since 2010. I asked my brother to order it at www.russhmagazine.com. But I am a bit disappointed with Russh management because when I received the magazine it was sent using the normal envelope postage and the magazine was not covered with any plastic. The envelope was torn at the corner and luckily it just a minor creasing on the corner of the magazine. The magazine supposed to be my precious collection but I consider myself lucky to have it. I can’t wait to bring it back to Malaysia and put it with my others collection.

Saving Face

Lynn Chen, Alice Wu, Joan Chen and Michelle Krusiec

Anu Dalam Botol Poster

I love Saving Face movie so much because I am attracted by the storyline and the Chinese culture in that movie. The movie directed by Alice Wu. Big applaud to her because even though it was her first movie and it seems that she managed to make a good movie. Plus the new comer actress Lynn Chen won an award for her performance in that movie. Hopefully she can make lots of movie with her talent and creativity and I am looking forward to see them. I am happy to see talented Asian people in Hollywood because it is hard to break the tradition in Hollywood.

Yesterday I read The Star online news about Malaysian Gay movie called “Anu Dalam Botol”, directed by Khir Rahman. “Anu Dalam Botol” means genital inside the bottle. From what I read the movie is about a transsexual who is performing operation to be a “woman” for his lover. I am looking forward to see the movie because it says that within 5 days estimated more 1 million people went to see it.

I know why Malaysian people went to see the movie because it is a taboo issue in Malaysia, so people wonder to know about the issue. But one thing that bothered me when reading the article. It seems like Raja Azmi the producer of the film doesn’t know how to explain or defend her own movie because the “Gays” and straight people in Malaysia said the movie is somehow not right. She said that the movie was based on her friend experience.

I don’t know what to say because I haven’t seen the movie. If I had seen the movie I can give my own opinion. Somehow everybody has their own opinion and judgement. Hopefully she did all the research before make the movie because it is a sensitive and taboo issue in Malaysia. Malaysia is a conservative Muslim- majority country.

I would love to see more movies like Late Yasmin Ahmad made because Malaysia needs good movies and directors to introduce to the world about Malaysian film industry and to be proud with our outcomes.

My point of view...

It’s been more than a month I have been in Australia. I really enjoy studying and staying in Australia. I can learn so many things in Australia. But there is one thing that I’m a bit disappointed that I can’t manage to make any local Australian friends. I admit that I’m not outstanding or outspoken people but I would love to make friends with them. Sometimes I feel like they are not welcoming an international student. So far I manage to make friends with other international students from Asian and European country.


The problem is maybe the language barrier and English is my second language. Every time I speak to local people they sort of doesn’t understand what I was talking about. I feel a bit offended because of my accent they can’t understand me. I’m use to American accent but my English pronunciation is a mixed of American and UK English.

I will be staying here for 1.5 year and looking forward to make friends with local people before I’m back for good to Malaysia.

The Surprising Thing Your Facebook Photos Reveal About You.

Personally as a Facebook user, I didn't posted or upload the photos to advertised myself. I only upload those photos for my personal interest. I'm not like some people who are "crazy" to find approval post photos.

Recently I just moved to another country and I wanted to share my experience visiting new places with  family and friends. It doesn't mean that I'm being a self-promotional. Maybe for some people think that I'm being a snob to show off those lovely photos. But who cares? I'm just being myself.

Actually I'm promoting people to visit Australia because it is a interesting country to explore.
