Rant #1

Dear people out there, be forewarned... if you are regular visitors (which I highly doubt), this is the first instalment of my long list of rants... however, I've been considerate enough to put every piece of rant in short, concise versions. Straight to the point. Lol. I think it might be therapeutic for me to put all my *#^&@ here. So, sit back and enjoy your stay here in rant land. hahaha.

First of all, I'd like to raise my dissatisfaction on how I have gained weight over the past few months, especially when sister was around. Yeah, we ate like mad. No? Well, it's just probably just me then.

Anyway, what is with people who can eat everything and yet, remain stick thin? I mean, just like them, I'd just like to get down all the food on my plate as well... of course, with the rare exceptional occassion that the (my) plate is filled up a second time, which obviously is in no way a fault of mine. Right?? And I don't eat junk food or sweets, etc... with the rare occassions of my favourite bak kut teh.. People don't want to eat, I will help finish. Is this how I'm punished for my nobel attempt?? Why??? Why????

Please ignore fineprint. I meant to scratch that. Or READ, whatever. But don't judge me.

Thank you.

3-in-1

Part I:

Well...it all started when I had a really, really bad dream of getting lost. I hate getting lost!!! I was on this highway that I've never been before, and there's a series of protruding contraptions from alongside a huge building pushing towards the road; had to steer clear of those stuff when they protrude haphazardly. That was really scary. And I think it's like a highway flyover, so if I steer too far, I could fall off!! Anyway while I was driving on this road which knows no end, I think I barely spotted a sign that said Sg. Petani, and there were no other signboards to exit. Like, huh?!? [when I think about it, I think Sg. Petani is because I recently met up with a cousin of mine who is currently studying in Sintok (both in Kedah)] So, when I finally arrived at this somewhat town area where there's humans, I stopped my car and was somehow running through some thorny bush!! Wahhhhhhh. Painful man. I remembered pulling all those thorns which were caught in my leg. Then my next step, since I was clearly lost, was to flag down a taxi. Asked him to lead me back to SJ, me tailing behind his car. I said I would pay him, which I did. Unfortunately, the trailing cost me RM150.

!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I even dreamt there was this procession of the dead, where there were multitudes of coffins on huge lorries. And it was open casket!!!! I told myself not to peek, but I did. I can't help it. So that was quite eerie.

I woke up thinking what was those series of event about????

Darn it!!!!!!!!

Faizal put up such a wow performance!!! Technically, I slept halfway through the show (at home).. haha. He sang a medley highlighting all the popular songs he did throughout the season. But it was too late.. Cause when he delivered his last performance (it was the last performance of the night), it was already commercials and then the results... so kinda little room for voting. Plus, there is something wrong with the voting system cause alot of people seem to be complaining about votes not going through. It probably needs some auditing.. lol.

But Suki won, as predicted...

THIS PART IS NOT A DREAM!!! I really missed out on those one in a lifetime tickets... :(

*********************

Part III:

Also, I found out that my pants that once used to be soooo loose is like, I could barely fit into it today!! Which means, I've gained weight!!! Darn it!!! Could life get any worse?!? This part isn't a dream either...

Have I Told You Lately

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine, like the sun
At the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the One

Say,
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do...

~Someone once asked me why I post lyrics. I feel although I did not come up with the words (like, duh), I find it's a perfect expression of what I feel at one time or another. There's a part of me in there, heh. And hence it being posted on this day, 19 September 2006, is an original piece by me :) Man, I'm twisted. This song, I dedicate to all those who reads this. I just love this song. How I wish I can sing it out loud!!! Or just picture how Van Morrison sang it :)

Have a good week people :)

A Boring Entry...

I don't usually remember much of my weekends... since it's so boring. And I shall not bore you with boring details.

No, the sad story does not continue with "therefore"....

I'll have you know that I made a decision.. ahem.. to go for a leaders' formation over the weekend. Which is rare for me to make since I despise anything intellectual. har. har..

I shall spare you the boring details of the talk. Oops.. No, it's anything but boring! Wordcount of the word boring: 6. Now you know why I don't blog much on my personal thoughts since I'm so boring...7. Who would thought one can use so many "borings" in 4 measly paragraphs.. 8!

I shall stop.

Anyway, Martin Jalleh is really, really funny!!! Cracked me up.. Do try to catch his workshop when he's in town...which is not often. lol. He reminds me of Walter Matthau (Dennis the Menace). You know..chicklets? Nevermind. I hear he works alot with youths.

What I take with me from this weekend? It's great to see everyone together (leaders of BEC, RCIA, Charismatic.. the many parish groups that we have in our beautiful church...and obviously a noob like me. Not forgetting Lifeteen and Lifeline.. the speaker kept getting it wrong.. Teenlife or is it Lifeteen? Then he said it begins with "Life". haha. Then he messes it up again. Yea.) Unity was never brought to light in such a manner, not that I've experienced, so that was great.

:)

Now, here's a little brain-teaser (hardly, though)... find the odd one out:





Pretty easy yes? :)

No, not funny? Scroll down then... haih.

....

Well... it's just mildly funny since it's his (Martin Jalleh)'s leaders' formation and his name is on the nametag just like the rest of us...

NnnevermMindd.

p.s: I did not steal this, just mistook it deliberately. haha. Who said I did not learn anything over the weekend?

It's You That Matters

time, has its way
to show me the reason for living
the world and all its splendour
gives me a sense of believing

that our love,
will shine thru,
and will keep us,
keep us forever,
and our love,
will pull us thru,
the bad times and keep us together.

i don't wanna fight this feeling no more
wanna love you and love you, its you i adore
cause its you that matters
just the sight of you throws my heart ashore
and the joy you bring opens up my door
cause its you that matters

~Reshmonu

Sister is now flying somewhere over some Indian Ocean

I'm missing her terribly already
I'm saying goodbye to another you, and me again

Thank you
For being my one and only sister
Your brief time with me has been such a memorable and life-changing one
I feel sorry for all those who don't know you well

I hate goodbyes
Especially saying them to you again

You are wonderful
You are the dearest person to me
Safe journey bi.

Dramas

"In every life, there is drama" as Hallmark rightly says. Despite the word chalking up quite the reputation in my mind, I stand corrected. The TV-viewing public knows what it wants and boy do they know it.

That's probably why I've been sucked into getting my daily dose of drama. Day or night, just flip to the channel and it never lets you down. One good smacking serving of drama coming right up, maybe 2 if you're lucky and I'm always lucky.

It has become a routine and I know what that inevitably says about this routine that I have. I've got a couple of shows which I catch daily and another once every week, just like popping pills except that those last seconds and these last an hour per pop and are intermittently peppered with commercials. Now, two shows back to back on the same channel with the same adverts can just about drive you to do two types of things. ONE is to press the mute button whenever the mind-numbing things come out and be numbed anyways watching to see when the show resumes and actually imagining the lines in the advert. TWO would be to step away from the TV like the cops would say it...and do something else but that would be violation of couch potato rule number one.

They're rivetting most of the time and a good number potray professionals. Professionals do seem to have interesting lives but I say it's pretty boring in real life so aah...here is where the word drama comes in. Perhaps it's a show about real life with all the interesting bits squeezed and meticulously woven into a fabric of extraordinary coincidence into a season or two. That sums up real people's lives quite neatly.
