Zee Avi

The first time I heard her I thought I was listening to an old song, very sinple melodies, a bit frenchy with just the guitar and a longing voice. Then I watched the music video and thought she could be an indonesian or Filipino singer who is featured on the Asian Music Platform on MTV.

Her first single Bitter Heart has been picked up by Walmart in the US and a soft drink company in the Netherdlands to be used in their advertising campaign.

The melodies may sound innocent but her music's pretty dark.. talks about non-conformist lovers, drug abuse and separation... boy don't we know about THOSE things!

Her music is honest and clear and simple. I love her lilting voice, reminds me of Joanna Wang, Regina Spektor and harks of Billie Holiday too.

I'm looking forward for her to have her gigs here in KL. Maybe at Damansara.. ~chuckles~

She is Zee Avi! Go listen to her music and be entertained and relaxed and have a laugh too.

Here's where you can listen to her self titled album. My favourites? Poppy, Honey Bee and Kantoi.

Oh and p/s She's Malaysian. *Suddenly feeling nationalistic pride*. ~laughs~

Lines that make the laughter..

Okay so this is a lame attempt at blogging, and to tell you the truth I haven't been thinking of much besides finding more laughter lately so here are some immortalised lines from three funny funny movies which I hope you will enjoy as much as I have enjoyed looking it up online..

Thanks to the Internet Movie Database for providing endless hours of fun for me!


Movie: Birdcage

Armand: All right, I'll bite, where are you going?
Albert: To Los Copa.
Armand: Los Copa? There's nothing in Los Copa but a cemetery.
Albert: I know, that's why I'm packing light.
Armand: Oh I see, so you're going to a cemetery with your toothbrush. How Egyptian.



Albert Goldman: Whatever I am, he made me! I was adorable once, young and full of hope. And now look at me! I'm this short, fat, insecure, middle-aged THING!
Armand: I made you short?



Armand: You do an eclectic celebration of the dance! You do Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! You do Martha Graham, Martha Graham, Martha Graham! Or Twyla, Twyla, Twyla! Or Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd! Or Madonna, Madonna, Madonna!... but you keep it all inside.



Albert: He blew a BUBBLE with his GUM while I was singing. He can't do that while I'm SINGING!
Celsius: Chewing gum helps me think.
Albert: Sweetie, you're wasting your gum!





Movie : To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: You know what Vida, you're not a queen because you rule people or you sat on a throne, baby. You're a queen because you couldn't cut it as a man so you had to put on a dress, that's why.



Noxeema Jackson: When a straight man puts on a dress and goes on a sexual kick he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has a little operation he is a Transsexual.
Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I know that.
Noxeema Jackson: When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen.
Vida Boheme: Thank you.
Noxeema Jackson: And when a tired little Latin boy puts on a dress, he is simply a boy in a dress!



Vida Boheme: I think tomorrow is a "Say Something" hat day.




Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I'm a princess. "P" to the "R" to the "N" to the "cess". I'm a princess.


Noxeema Jackson: If you want them to know there is steak for dinner, you got to let them *hear* it sizzle! Understand?






Movie: Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Felicia: [singing] A desert holiday, let's pack the drag away. You take the lunch and tea, I'll take the ecstasy. Fuck off you silly queer, I'm getting out of here. A desert holiday, hip hip hip hip hooray!



Bernadette: No, I'll join this conversation on the proviso that we stop bitching about people, talking about wigs, dresses, bust sizes, penises, drugs, night clubs, and bloody Abba!
Tick: Doesn't give us much to talk about then, does it?


Bernadette: [to Tick about Felicia] One more push, I'm gonna to smack his face so hard he'll have to stick his toothbrush up his arse to clean his teeth!


Bernadette: [to Shirley] Now listen here, you mullet. Why don't you just light your tampon, and blow your box apart? Because it's the only bang you're ever gonna get, sweetheart!



Mitzi: [to Felicia] You know, there are two things I don't like about you, Felicia... your face. So how 'bout shutting both of them?



Bernadette: What a nice dog. What's it's name?
Bob: Herpes. If she's good, she'll heal.



Felicia: [to Tick and Bernadette] I met these Swedish tourists called... Lars, Lars and Lars



Bernadette: [to Tick] Don't "Darling", me, Darling. Look at you. You've got a face like a cat's arse

Don't kill me for being such a romantic...

You know you love someone when..

you look at them sleeping peacefully...and your heart melts.

you look forward to their kiss first thing in the morning and the first thing when they come home from work

you do things with them in mind so that they will smile when they notice it

you say yes to most everything they want to do, mainly because it's gonna be with you

you want to be near them just so you can catch their scent and it's so fammiliar drives you crazy

you think of what to get for them for christmas, brithdays etc etc but don't let on that you know what they want

you think of them a lot

you say you miss them through sms and really mean it

you care enough to let them grow into whatever it is they're destined to be

you can picture doing absolutely nothing with them and it's totally alright


~sighs~ Love you Bebe. Always have, always will.

Bali Bali Bali... I Heart Bali!

1 week in Bali ain't enough says I. Bali was fantastic!



It was fun and sunny,
mystical and quiet,
it was rowdy and boisterous,
it was beautiful and breathtaking.
Bali is Bali and could never be anything but Bali.



The food was plentiful, cheap and really good with the exceptions of how dry some of it was. ~laughs~




The sunsets were magnificent and the skies blue all day.




The streetside, beachside vendors are sometimes too much to take. If anything would Bali me out it would be them... Massage? Mushrooms?Sex?

Lady: Buy from me la..
Me: No thanks (politely)
L: Buy la, bagi laris
M: no thanks, I already bought one!
L: But you haven't bought from me yet... buy la...
M: *puts on my ipod and lights a cigarette*
L: you want to buy mushroom???? *raises eyebrows*
M: magic mushroom??!?!?!?!?! *takes off ipod*
L: *pulls out little hand knitted mushrooms in the rastafarian colours*
M: but these aren't magic!
L: jangan ngomong magic nanti polisi datang! (don't say magic otherwise the police will come)
M: aahahahahahahahah...

After about 10 minutes of laughhter and haggling the price, I bought those hand knitted mushrooms for the entertainment value of it!




The sunsets were amazing and the local people were friendly and warm. The nightclub scene is really fun too! Had a great time going out and dancing with the locals especially the cute ones with the willing smiles!

The long walks on the beach at 3am from Seminyak back to Kuta were the things I would remember the most. Stars shining out, doggies barking their welcomes, flood-lights gleaming on the ever breaking surf and the soft sandy beaches.. This was the highlight of my Bali trip.




But I haven't been to Dreamland yet, I haven't had babi guling yet, I haven't had a tattoo of a frangipani flower yet, I haven't surfed enough yet, I haven't done the arts scene at Ubud and gone to Nusa Dua yet. So many things to do.

Bali I will be back!

Is this me or isn't it?

Ah to be a child again. Ah to be a child with an uncle with a witty sense of humour. Lol. This is a lik tshirt i picked out for my little 2year old nephew Aidan. Hope his mommy likes it as much as i do!

This is me, now.

Whatever you max say, whatever you wanna think, Whatever you desire, wherever things might be at, I'm here. This is me now.

I heart KL

You heart KL. We heart you Jason! He was awesome! We uplifted, elevated and rotated! We sang, we danced, we stole pictures with our mobile phones. While we were sweating so much from the non-existant air conditioning, Jason assured us 'don't let your mind keep you from having a good time.' we did Mr A-Z! We certainly did. I sang til I'm hoarse. Jason we love you! Come back to us soon!

Ja ja ja Jason Mraz yeZZah!

On the way to see Jason Mraz's concert. Ye ye yeah! The cosmic fish they like to kiss, giving birth to constellations. She's so big hearted but not so remarkable. Lucky I'm in love with my best friend. Scootch on over closer dear, i'll whisper in your ear. It's alright, lets all take it easy and celebrate the malleable reality, We Loves you Jason! Wendy, MJ and me! WaZZa is out.

Just did it.

Cut my hair. Feels like 2kg lighter. Lol. WheeEEee!

Tsk tsk tsk

This is EXACTLY what you don't wanna be seen doing after a heavy boozy saturday night. Unconscious, ass crack showing, in a foetal position on the street with your girlfriend with her head between her legs. Tsk tsk tsk... If alcohol was discovered in recent years, it would've been deemed an illegal substance. Good thing the streets of KL are warm enough for you to have your slumber! LOL!

Oh I Won't hesitate no more no more!

YeZZah! Jason Mraz tickets!! I
