Guess what? I had my hand on Sainthood. Technically my ears, since they were the one been doing the listening for the past two days. The album release is on Oct 27th, but I had my way to listen to whole album first. All 13 full-length tracks. Think what you like because in Malaysia, it is impossible to actually buy their album.
So for those who couldn’t care less about Tegan & Sara, you can stop reading now, because I tend to go all the way when it comes to my two favorite girls.
Back to the review. There are 13 tracks listed for the album Sainthood. "Hell" being the first single released, had me scrambling to their site to listen to what Sainthood is going to be like.
From the 13 tracks, Tegan & Sara each have 6 of their songs included. "Paperback Head" is the only track that the girls work on together.
As always, Tegan's songs are catchy and Sara's, well you need to listen a couple of time before you really get the beat. But once you're humming the tune, you'll be hooked to her songs.
My favorite Tegan's songs from the album Sainthood are "The Ocean" and "Someday". And Sara's, "Sentimental Tune" and "Arrow". I think by far this album has some of the best collection of Sara's songs compare to all the previous albums.
Tegan & Sara have definitely evolve with their music through all these years. Of course the fans would prefer their early work, as that what got them listening to the girls in the first place. This album is nothing like Tegan & Sara first demo. Don't get your hope down. Give it a listen. You'll love it.
Update: The video was supposed to be "Hell" Official Music Video. Apparently, they're no longer available due to copyright. Sheesh...

Finished my first semester in MMU. Hoping for better days to come soon.
Finally done with these graduation photos.
Here are some photos taken with Aiman right after the graduation event.
Sadly, not many can join us that day.
My sister jumped in to be our photographer for the day. Thank you.
Me and Aiman was joking around saying that our photoshoot worth more than those photobooth they had for students to have their photos taken.
You know, the stand-still-shoulder-straight-fake-smile kinda pose.
I mean come on. Those types of photos are way too stiff and rigid for a fun day.
So we mock the pose and then filled the rest of the day with our own idea of fun day of graduation.
Enjoy the photos. I’ll update more photos soon.
Update: Maaf jika gambar anda tidak terpapar dalam blog post ini. Malang sekali semua gambar bersama lecturer dan kawan-kawan terdekat terkandung dalam kamera Aiman. I was so stupid for not bringing along my camera with me.
P/S: Yes, I slipped on stage while accepting my award. Sheesh!
The photos were taken during the course of preparation and Hari Raya itself.
I didn't bake anything but I did help finish up any leftover. Sufi ended up with some sort of skin rashes but he's fine now.
There are actually more photos but I'm just too lazy to do the editing.
Hope these few will do.
I have my last paper tomorrow, then 2 weeks of holiday.
P/S: Stuff I've been watching during my 2 days of self-confinement. What I Like About You, Big Bang Theory, Royal Pains and my all time favorite, How I Met Your Mother.
"When you cry , I cry, sad eyed Caroline.. With your tears came tears of mine.."
Took these photos on Sunday morning around 6-7 a.m. Lea and I haven't been resting well for almost a week. But everything is almost done, I'm left with one tiny assignment to do before the sheer joy come creeping in.
Today, by midnight, my family is coming to take me home. Yeay for that. Raya is coming really sooner than I thought. And come to think of it, today Lea and I had our last sahur together before the holiday starts.
Selamat Hari Raya.
P/S: The presentation was okay. I wish I did better. Strive for the best.
Listening to every single song of Sugarplum Fairy.
Right at this moment, I'm supposed to be cracking my head trying to finish up my final project. But I'm taking some time off to update you on my latest music craving.
Sugarplum Fairy. The name itself makes me smile.
The first time I listen to this band was back in 2006. Back then, I was more into emo, so I couldn't care less about them. However,yesterday, I magically stumbled upon them again on an online radio and BAM!!
I am in love! Their songs are just great. They do look like some teeny British pop band, but they are actually one awesome-rockin'-Swedish-band ever!
And Victor Noren being absolutely gorgeous is a bonus. *Drool*
I've been listening to all their albums non-stop. Theeee....
