`musicofthemonth


just as i was complaining there aren't any more real singers around, i stumble onto them!

Zac Brown Band.

Grammy Award winners for the Best New Comer,
and nominated for the Country Music genre.

Toes by Zac Brown Band


Got Whatever It Is by Zac Brown Band


Songs like "Toes" and "Got Whatever It Is" are called SONGS.

Not "Boom Boom Pow", Not "Tik Tok", and definitely not wadever 1,2,3 BE THE BOY I MARRY shitz.
I admit some of these so called "songs" are nice, in a club, when you are drunk, and dancing.

but when i want to take a relaxing drive, i'd stick to real vocal country music, like Toes! =)

Remember This?


Yogies! the berry flavoured yogurt treat which both Icing and MY SISTER love so much?
Well for health reasons, i thought i wrote to the manufacturer, and see if it was safe for my sis....

"Hi,
My name is Alex and I have recently bought a Yogies Yogurt Treat for Hamsters, Gerbil & Rat. Am currently feeding it to my pet sugar glider.

now the problem is, my younger sister accidentally ate a few of it thinking it was candy. and now she's obsessing over it. no matter where i hide the Treat, she will secretly steal one or two. and I am deeply worried about the nutritional value it has for a human. is it safe for human consumption?

please get back to me as soon as you can. thank you.

yours truly,
Alex Hooi "


and after a few days i got this reply from the company...

Dear Alex:

Thank you for your E-Mail regarding our product, Yogies. Although we are a Pet Product company and these are intended to be ingested by animals, not humans, they are not harmful to humans. I would however suggest that you give the container to your parents to hold so that your sister cannot get at them.

`faking it

sometimes i have nothing to do at night,
but i dont feel like sleeping..

ughh! i feel bored =(


anyhoo, a friend of mine blogged about fake love, from the view of someone who is in a relationship.

so i want to talk about fake love, from the view of someone who is single, aka, me.

So are you in love? or plain confused?

Are you pretending to be in love just because,
you are hoping that there is still something between you and your ex?
or maybe you just want a companion, for companion sake, in which anyone can fill the void?
or as a mental subject, so that you have something occupying your head?

there are endless reasons why we fake love,
perhaps the one reason i could think of now, is just not wanting to be single. its especially hard when most of your friends are attached, and you are all alone. all your friends have plans on valentines day, while you stay home, wondering why. so you find someone, anyone, to fill in the gap, not knowing whether u love her, or you are just faking it for the sake of faking it.

you could fall in love with her eventually, or she could just be a rebound from your last relationship. regardless, fake love exist, and honestly, sometimes we cant even differentiate it ourselves....

`inthehopetomeetshortlyagain

i have made many friends throughout the years, indeed most, or i would dare say, all of the friend bonds are made through conventional methods, like, classmates, coursemates, friend of friends, clubs, activities etc.

and i have grown very fond of some of them. some i share my problems with, some i share my happiness with, and some literaly knows me inside out!

however amongst these friends of mine, there is one that stood out differently compared to others, like a sore thumb, but in a good way =)

honestly, i my first recollection of her was when i was the form2 coordinator in the prefectorial board. she was one of the trouble makers, or at least associated with them. pulling them out was like a daily business, we had target sales! lol. eventually, though they never mentioned it, they all hated me, naturally. WHO DOESNT HATE AUTHORITY EH?

but one fateful day, right after sports day while waiting for transport home, i had the chance to have a brief encounter into her life. i guess something happened, and slowly, and only god knows how, we began talking. i guess initially i was abit skeptical, maybe she was just sucking up so she wont get any more trouble for me.. who knew?

as time went on, through the year i guess we got closer as friends. it was weird i have to admit, seeing she was 3 years my junior! small kid lerr! haha! we sure do make an unlikely pair of friends laaaaaaaaaaaa..

and after i left school, i never really saw her. but everytime i went back to wesley for whatever reasons, i made it a point to visit my juniors. that is how friends should be right?

3 years go by, and suddenly she's going to aussie to study! thats kinda sad when it strikes you that one of your good friend is leaving. it's always until farewell that you realise you will miss your friends, and so yes, i will miss you! ironic how i have seen you more in a week than i ever had for the past 3 years eh?




well, to my friend of unconventional means,
although you are younger than i am,
your maturity surpasses your age!
there are so many things i've learned from you,
and i'm sure there are many more to come.

friends like you dont come by often,
and i truly appreciate having the chance to have met you,
to have talked to you,
to have learned from you.

just remember,
your greatest strength is your ability to smile no matter what!
no matter how dark the sky is, you'll shine through.
even if you have to resort to finding the best eat around,
i'm sure you'll tackle it with one hand tie behind your back.

when the sunrises tomorrow,
it is not the last day, but an absences of 9months between sunrises.
and when then sunsets,
a new chapter begins for you, and you will write a fantastic story.

i'll miss you without a doubt,
and i'm sure you will miss your friends here too.

someone awesome once told me,
"Miss your friends alot! but in some point of life, move on.. cause we might be overlooking something great in the making, just because we didnt give it a chance to grow into something because we're missing the past too much."
*winks =P




and so i thank you, chia suyen,
for it took a junior to teach an old hamster new tricks =)



NOW GO! SHOO!
give them australian boys something to be GOBSMACKED about!

`omg! it's his birthday!





well, there is so much to say, but i'll keep it simple!

if i was given a reset in my life to correct all the screw ups i've made, i wouldn't trade it if it means never meeting you all! =)

honestly, i wouldn't know what i'd be without peeps like YOU! *probably in a sucky place lah*

so thank you again, especially to my sis who planned it so well! and also for the 2 lovely cakes! 2 in a year, now thats a record!

love, hugs and kisses to one great bunch of humanoids,
alex hooi,
the proud owner of icing.

MyVU decided to go out celebrating with me because if i dont, they'd think i'm emo! haha!

so firstly, i have to thank yeeying and chiayee who purposely came back to KL from melaka and penang just so they could go out dinner with me! and also jessie who did not complaint about going out till late although she was working! so with the group complete, we headed off to Souled Out @ Desa Sri Hartamas!

seriously, i never knew baby potatoes could be so heavenly!



chiayee's lamb shank which looks absolutely yummilicious!

and lastly Jon's chicken cordon bleu. it sounds so frenchy! and the cheese looks..... *drools



and ending with a superb chocolate cake!
compliments of jon, yeeying and jessie =)

someone HAD to stop us from eating,
so that she can take a group photo..

and that concludes my 21st birthday!

`uhhh, wheres the microphone?


on saturday, i got scammed into going my own surprise be-earlier birthday party at redbox pavillion!

at first i thought it was gonna be just me and my cousin, so when i stepped into the room, my reaction was...

WAI JEAN? OMG? KENN YEAP ALSO?? OH CRAP! AHHH SYAOTUNG!! AHHHH!

only then did it sink in that my sister has single handedly (with the help of jianhan) gathered my ausmat groupies and my cousins and threw me a surprise party!
*note, i was in shock for the next 5 minutes... lolx..

they claimed i was emo about it! but honestly i WASNT!
i just thought a quiet birthday would be nice =)

part of me wanted to cry,
part of me wanted to yell,
and some part just wanted to sit down!
but in the end, i enjoyed myself, and honestly,
i wouldnt want to spend 3 hours in a dark room
with any others besides my ausmatees!

and also, thank you guys for the BOTTLE (my sis thought you were gonna get me a water bottle lol) as well as a BIG RED present from prissy and sherlyn! *hugs
