~Che'nelle~

Some may be unfamiliar with Che'nelle, but one thing's for sure is that here in Malaysia she's a household name and we're proud of it!

Cheryline Lim (Che'nelle's actual name) was born in Sabah, Malaysia.
She moved to Perth, Australia at the age of 10 with her family and studied her way into the music scene untill somebody recognized her talent and signed her up under a successful recording label in the US...Virgin Records America!

Since then, just like most artist out there, she's decided to choose a stage name for herself. Thus, Che'nelle was born!
Her music genre is more raggae-club-pop.

Back in Australia, Che'nelle was once an opening act for Kanye West's concert. This was one of the way she gained recognition down under.

But her big break came after her first single was released...'I Fell In Love With The Dj'.
It was an instant hit!
A smart approach indeed. I mean, how could you not like it?
Its Catchy, the beat is dance-able and the lyrics was written specially for a club scene.
So it's no wonder that all the clubs all over the world was (and still is) blasting the song away.
Once again..SMART ;)

Che'nelle then wrote and sang a soundtrack for 'Take The Lead'. A hit movie that put her on the charts yet again.
The track is simply tittled 'Teach me how to dance'.
The song is an awesome fast dance track and was even heard on 2 famouse reality dance show > 'Dancing With The Stars' and 'So you Think You Can Dance'.

By this time, Che'nelle has grown a large fanbase in Japan.
There, she's made a name for herself not only as a singer and entertainer but also a model. sexyyyyy *wink wink
And to reward her japanese fans, Che'nelle even released another single there tittled 'First Love'. One of my favourites.

In the music industry however, Che'nelle is no stranger...she's literally rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in music and even collabrated with some> namely, Colby O Donnis for 'Razor/stranger' and even the Mr. Lover Lover himself, Shaggy for 'Running The Muck'.
Che'nelle is also known for doing covers of other famouse songs (in which she'll turn them into a more sexy female version) such as 'Hot', 'Bed' and even a reply of 'Trading places' in which she kept Usher's vocals in it and turned it into a hot hot hot duet!

Che'nelle may seems like one of those sexy im-too-good-for-you celebrity but in person, she's still Cheryline Lim from Sabah. Humble.
I may not have personally met her before but im always keeping myself updated with her through facebook and myspace (this was way before facebook :p)
And she's never failed to reply any of my messages.
And from this i can tell that she's down to earth and loves keeping her fans connected.

Now Miss Che'nelle is out again with her second album soon to be released and her 2nd single is called 'Feel Good'. A feel good song without a doubt!
One of my favourite slower songs of the album has also gotta be 'Missing' and 'Venus and Mars'.

To all those reading this, i'd recommend you readers to go ahead and take a listen. She's a fantastic singer with an angelic voice and a good entertainer.
Im just waiting for the moment when she'll push Rihanna to the side of the stage! (though she doesnt like it when anyone compares her to Rihanna cuz each and everyone artist should be respected accordingly).

But nevertheless, keep your ears wide open and pay attention to Che'nelle cuz she's got a story for us all ;)

Tasik Kenyir Quake

A mild earthquake with a magnitude of 2.6 on the Richter scale occurred at 11.10pm Thursday, causing mild tremors that was felt within the Tasik Kenyir area.

The earthquake which had its epicenter at 43km Southwest of Kuala Terengganu and 22km West of Kuala Berang, Terengganu was the second in more than 20 years.

Malaysian Meteorological Department's (MMD) Geophysics and Tsunami division director Dr Mohd Rosaidi Che Abas said the recent earthquake might be linked to the one that occurred in the same area in 1980 or may have been caused by the release of tectonic gas.

Dr Rosaidi said Kenyir was hit by a 4.6 magnitude earthquake in the 1980s when the Kenyir Dam was being filled.

"The earthquake last night may have been linked to the one that happened 20 years ago or the release of tectonic gas from the gas bearing basin or the plate tectonic setting in Terengganu," he said when contacted by Bernama Thursday.

He added that since it was the first case since the 1980s, his department would work closely with the Mineral and Geosciences Department to find the actual cause of the quake.

People should not worry as the 2.6 scale earthquake was a mild one, he said. - Bernama

FINALLY~

"Do i deserve this or did i just wear you down?". Sandra Bullock jokingly said during her acceptance speech at the Oscars for Best Actress!

Its her first nomination and win after being in the industry for about 15 years..so CONGRATS Sandra!

Sandra Bullock is one of my favoutrite actresses in Hollywood and i cant believe that this is her first win..but most of all, her first nomination?!

Gone too soon

Its been about a month since my last blog and im sorry for that. Its just that there aint anything worth blogging about lately. Yes, my life is a bore!

However, today i was awaken from a phone call by my singaporean buddy Naz, breaking a very shocking and tragic news to me. Our dear friend, Koi, has passed on to the next life.

Let me tell you a little history about me and Koi...

Well, i first met koi with Naz in KL. Wondering the streets in searach of a karaoke joint, but everythign was closed. it was close to 3 am. DUH! :p
We ended up lepaking at Naz's hotel room having McD breakfast. Oh and on top of that, my eyes was in horrible shape with all the crying from the 'A' drama! wek wek wek

After that, me and Koi kept contact through...what else than our trusty facebook! hehehe

Soon after, we met up again for a movie at Midvalley. Angels and Demons!
He hates the movie though. And before that, i had my first bite of Carls jr. delicious! And yet again my eyes was in monster form..not cuz of my endless tears, but cuz of a contact lense incident. sucky sucky~

That was a month back and it was the second and last time we've ever met.


Earlier this week, we planned out our third meeting. And yes, another movie outing was planned.
Thursday feb 25th, 6.30 pm, 'from paris with love' at Pavilion.

But my dear Koi had no choice but to answer's God's call on Wednesday, 24th feb.
Cardiac Arrest and asthma.

And now, he is to be with God Almighty.

So there i am standing outside his house at 10+ am with jac to accompany me for our third meeting. This time round, my eyes was in healthy condition! But he wasnt able to see that. And im sorry for not spending more time with you Koi.

I know you wanted to get to know me better and so did i. But trust me, i love you more then ever now.

You will be missed my friend. We love you always. Rest in peace. Al-Fatihah

officially LEGAL!

Thats right....im talking about my age here!

wohoooo...age 21.

now i can finally go clubbing without the worries :D

Not much has happened in between new years eve till today...im still heartbroken, fat and desperate...pethetic.

But if its one thing im thankful for in this world, its gotta be my FRIENDS

On the strike of 12 am, 11 January 2010, i recieved a phone call from one of my close/bestfriend from high school..Ganesh. This really bought a smile to my face...remembering on how much trouble we put ourselves in back in the days...hahaha

Then, 'A' called me soon after....i was confused in emotions..happy but upset. hmmmm

yes, i did expected the call but i never imagined that 'A' didn't say 'i love you' at the end of the call. never..

I slept it off soon but early in the morning i got a surprise phone call from Aunty Maggie wishing me a happy bitrhday! Aunty Maggie is Jaclyn Victor's mom and i felt so touched and happy till i felt cheerfull throughout the day. THANK YOU AUNTY MAGGIE :)))

The sms-es and phone calls continued the whole day and thanked God that i was blessed with friends who cared. So, THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!!

A very sweet friend of mine, Bie, even wrote a blog about our friendship to wish me a happy birthday too!

WOW...i was (and still am) really touched by this.

Bie (or 'baby, is what i call him) is one of my bestfriends from ASWARA bout 3 years back.

And all i can say about this friend of mine is that he's one in a million who actually appreciates friends!..and he SHOWS it.

A very valuable lesson to me as well.

FUCK LOVE and all that bullshit....friends and family is all that we need in this life and remember that, people!

anyway, im 21 now and im gonna try to love life more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATIF!!!

here comes 2010, there goes my 'A'...

Remember 'A'?

Well....'A' has made it clear to me that responsibility and work commitment has taken the best of 'A'.

That left me dumped for the new years...what a way to go..tsk tsk.

Really la, now im finally proud to admit that LOVE scares the shit out of me!

i had all my dreams, hopes and future between us and then within a day...all wasted.

im deeply hurt and saddened that 'A' gave up that easy while here i am still holding on to hopes that somehow with some miracle, it's gonna be worth it in the end..please please oh please.

till then, these tears has made my cheeks salty and this nose of mine has turned into rudolf's.

With the passing of an old year and the coming of a new one, may 2010 be the start of something more beautiful in life for me.

fingers crossed and happy new year ya'll!
