The word is INSPIRATION

It's 10 minutes to 6 (a.m) as i'm starting to write. Laid myself on the bed after long hours of net-surfing, rolled over (for i don't know how many times), played Vortex on my Nano until stage 17....and i still don't feel sleepy! Serves me right, for the 11 hour sleep i had yesterday and the ciggies i've been smoking the whole nite! So i thought: what the hell, let me just write something in this blog (which has been senyap sunyi for a very long time).

I suddenly thought of the word INSPIRATION. I checked my thesaurus (instead of a dictionary, because someone borrowed it and never returned it back) and found that the word is synonymous with: STIMULUS, MOTIVATION, INFLUENCE, MUSE, INCENTIVE

INSPIRATION for me comes in many different forms, such as real people (be it celebrities or people in my life), fictional characters from a movie, songs, TV shows, movies, etc and they apply to different situations in my life.

So here are my inspirations:


1) Mariah Carey, Anuar Zain, Boyz II Men
These are the my essential singers to think about before i perform for any occasions (Malaysian Night ke, Annual Spring Concert ke, whatever la). Actually, i need to not only think about them, but also to watch them perform "live" in a concert. Dunno why, but probably because i helps me to berangan as if i sound as goood as they do. Hehe, it helps, u know!

2) House M.D (TV series)
I know, it's stereotypical for medical students to enjoy watching medical-based dramas and comedies like House, Grey's, E.R and all, but it's very understandable why. Although probably don't show us the really real life of medical personnels, they really inject some motivation in me. I don't really care much about Grey's though....watched the first season and wasn't really tempted to watch the next. But House.....emmmm, couldn't stop at first season, had to continously watch the coming episodes. Honestly speaking, House actually INSPIRED me to study Internal Med a little bit more than i usually do! (i know, how shallow is that?)

3) Scrubs (TV series)
This is another medical-themed tv series, but really, i don't watch it because it's about Medicine. Call me immature, but i found that every episode always gives me something to realize about. It's all in JD's monologues at the end of every episode. I duno why, but they're always meaningful to me, and i can always relate to whatever he's saying. So, whenever i feel the need to be reminded about something in life, i'd just play some episodes on the GOM player and there, i'd be INSPIRED!

4) Hero (song)
The title itself is self explanatory on why it's inspirational. And when you add Miss Carey as the singer, this song becomes super special to me. I think most people know this song (whether you love her or hate her!) and i'm sure that anyone can relate to the messages contained in the lyrics. Cheesy? Yes, but then again, my favorite Pizza Hut IS Hawaiian Supreme, coz they have extra mozzarella in it!

5) Wedding Wars (movie)
If you've already watched the movie, then you'd know that i'm probably just coming out to you (hehe). I thank Mariam so much for recommending me to watch this, because i enjoyed it too much! i mean, ever since i copied this movie from the network (few days ago), i've watched it for maybe 6 times! crazy bitch! Why's it inspirational? I dunno la.....probably because it gives me the hope of finding love like that? that everything will end up happily in the end? Heh, life's too sad, that i only have movies to watch to make believe that love will come my way (eh, motif kau feeling2 ni apehalll?)

There you have it! Some of my inspirational stuffs that i can think about for now....
