Posting just since i've logged into blogger@gmail... Dear journal, i am grateful for this page. Reading some of these entries brought back so much memories. And I deeply missed this ranter who was capable of a little bit more creativity then than today. Drank a few more cups of coffee than i normally do in the past 2 days, due to all-day-long coffee facility at the training centre... need to cut down on sugar in the next few days and detoxify from all the eating...

i love this song :))

Training for conversion, well, not really.

Sunday was a most productive day - bought so much of (useful and worth for money) stuff in under 2 hours. This is probably a direct result of being constantly having to convert pounds to ringgit over the past 2 weeks and visualising an increasingly large (imaginary but not necessarily) hole in the bank account, which has probably turned into a "being-deprived-of-buying-syndrome" and hence translated into a buying spree over the weekend! I hope I get my diagnosis correct and that this is a one time thing, or else this might turn into expenses>income which translates into a deficit position and in the long run..... living a broke life. And that would be a pathetic and sad one indeed.

One possible remedy? Get a job which pays in the currency one wants to shopping in. I'm so amazed with my brilliance. Speechless, really.
.....

Going for trainings, which as much as one enjoys being away from the bustle of work, will result in being fed so often in between meals (like morning tea and afternoon tea) which is really damaging to inner well-being (laugh-out-loud). Especially for certain people who has recently come to light how exercise does not excuse bingeing and being careless about things that one decide to digest. Which translates into a situation with totally sucks...

On that note, it seemed that I, personally, respond better to oats (different people will respond differently though, i.e not feel hungry longer, like some people respond better to wholegrain). Am currently trying out Weetbix (a wholegrain breakfast which is the only good cereal found over here.. good cereal meaning highest in energy, fibre and lowest in fat per serving) which I found out after having regular prudential consultations with a would-be doctor and avid readers digest reader of that one copy she has over there. :P I had some success of skipping lunch, where only some discipline is required which speaks plenty! Which is why I've managed to persuade her to cart boxes of Marks&Spencer triple choc crunch when she comes back for the summer break. Feel so ripped off after buying certain body-detergents from them at RM20 each when I hear retails at only 1 pound over there! They probably don't have it here anyway.

I sleep better wearing socks, even over here in hot Malaysia. Try it but don't blame me if you can't wake up..

You know you're addicted to facebook when......

You hear the priest saying this at communion:

"He poked the cup, gave it to His disciples and say......."

Man, I crack myself up.

p.s I'm NOT addicted to facebook, at least I don't think I am, just need to leave my ears in the washing machine.

A revelation nonetheless?

I have recently came to light about what the writers meant in the Emily Rose movie (end scene: she met Mother Mary in the fields) about the reason that she didn't want to go with her (i.e Mother Mary) at that very moment, hence choosing to go back to her inhospitable, dire-state body. It has somewhat been a puzzler to me what they meant by "Through you, others may come to know...and that demons exist." It was so that she could write that letter that Fr Moore read out in his personal testament. Which is such a simple reason. Yeah, laugh-out-loud. Now tho, I'm wondering how could she even hold a pen to write with her then horribly scratched up fingernails. It would have been excruciating.

Such a revelation to me tho when I watched the movie again with Ivy. Righto, blur me.

Writing this from a jet-lagging effect if you've noticed the insane hour when this piece was conceived. I've originally woken up at 3.

These tiny feet

What a relief it was
Especially to those who are under constant anxiety
Now the tension in the room has been broken

A cry of innocence, so heavenly and majestic
Was it from the first time you saw the blinding light in the OT?
Or the fact you have been torn from the cozy refuge which has been your home for close to 9 months

Your skin so soft and frail
Softer than any texture that I've set my hands on
Was afraid I might tear your tissues or uncompleted muscle formation using my coarse hands
Your bones are still in dire need of calcium
And in that moment, I can't imagine
How some of us can choose to abort such frailty in that moment of weakness
Using tools which can only be categorised as inhumane!

I continue to wonder how it is like to be a newborn
New and fresh to a world
Uncertain.. whether the journey will be a wonderful and worthwhile one

2008-03-08T19:38:00.010+08:00

Vote: casted!

It is the 12th General Election today!
How exciting, my very first time!
Managed to grab a pen after receiving an sms to do so
Can't imagine why they should want us to vote with pencils
Another conspiracy like the indelible ink? Come one...

Left the house at 10am
Weather was dreadfully hot and sunny
What a relief it is to own a pair of shades
The heat and brightness made me feel rather spirited, and echoed a ray of hope

Ice-cream man would have made loads of ringgit in this heat
But remembered those who flood the voting centers are not children, who fancies ice-cream too much
Plus, he probably needed to vote!

Arrived at the school
The premise was rather quiet, it was strange
Made my way to 'stream 5' which was a classroom consisting of roughly 8 agents
A policeman was guarding at the exit door
Everyone looked sullen and dreamy
Did someone died? hahaa...
I felt a little dreamy myself, and rather blur from the sullen-ness
The guy sitting at the corner entrance checked my IC
He called my name
Out loud for everyone to hear
Felt like a criminal with a serial number attached

After crossing my choices, I placed them into the 2 boxes respectively
And strolled out into the open air
Vote casted!

As much as I felt a milestone has been achieved in my life
I can't help but feel... was that experience really exciting?
I've always envisioned voting day to be noisier than this
People strewn along the corridors and feeding each other with the latest political development

Well, maybe it was just the center I was allocated

May the results reflect the level of maturity of this nation
Fingers crossed!

The daydreamer

It was slightly drafty after a little rain

i took my little set of tools for a little dig

an urban archaelogist, me, in no way

as i gently claw into the damp soil

i sprinkled some seeds onto the little void i've made

earlier have gotten them off a flee-market, showcased on the owner's wheelbarrow-such pretty poignant coloured-petals

i'm such a fool for colours!

high hopes i have on those seeds...

my mind wandered abit to yesteryear

he was someone i hardly knew

he was brilliant and charming

and we have the best conversations about nothing-ness

like Meg Ryan would say, all this 'nothings have meant so much to me than so many somethings'

isn't it weird

i can only dream of the day when i can express how he has stayed in my mind all these years

how i wished it hasn't been more than 10 years

i guess first love dies hard

but how i wish it would!
how i wished i could move on..

a neighbour was strolling along with her child in a mini tricycle

i looked up, severed from my train of thoughts

maybe it was the gentle cluttering from the contact between its wheels and the gravel path

the little girl gave me a generous smile

it instantly brought a glow in me

i beamed

i covered the depression where the seeds now reside

the high hopes i have previously i remembered instantly

decided to go for a walk

grabbed a basket to pick strawberries

hopefully Mr Grey is home

a beautiful spring day it was

as i continued to dream my little dream.

Okay, if you're OIAM followers, here is a little bit of juicy info for you. Contrast both the following videos:

By current OIAM would-be finalist, Shila:

And the following video is by a random chinese singer, dunno what competition and from where (never bothered to find out), randomly stumbled upon it on YouTube:

"Contigo En La Distancia" - a really old spanish song which has been resung by Christina Aguilera. There is hardly any similarities between any of the old versions and Christina's. So it's quite obvious that Shila has made a little copyright infringement here. Well, maybe not legal infringement, but this is a competition where you are competing for a million bucks based on your originality! Hello! I'm deeply troubled. And I was really rooting for her after that song. Sigh.

Cool i'm pretty smart. 8-)

My favourite feelings:

-The feeling of gratefulness that I have a roof over my head when I'm hanging clothes, amidst a backdrop which is dark, mildly raining with an occassional waft of cool-air wind;
-Also raining (lol), this time driving in my beloved "Winnie Orange" whilst listening to slow jazzy tunes, also the feeling of gratefulness that I can own a car and pay on my own. I love my car! I love the pillows and fluffy toys that make it so comfortable. HAHA. And grateful that I don't have to wait for public transport, or walk in the rain, and that I can go anywhere I want! Need I say more?
-Unlocking my room when I come home from work to find everything that is mine and me! My pillow..blanket..clothes..bags..laptop..all mine! HAHAHA
-Listening to "Endless Love" with my eyes closed, daydreaming... which is totally random.

don't you think this is a rather weird post? :)

i had a really strange dream yesterday..a bunch of us were stranded somewhere off the south china sea, after a shipwreck..at some small island, at the mercy of the steadily ascending tide..was pretty horrifying..we initially wanted to sit on logs or make a raft of some sort to paddle ourselves to kelantan/terengganu..which was actually really really far. imagine, just logs?! there was alot of us to sit on just logs or poorly constructed rafts due to lack of resources and skill, even. a majority finally decided against it, but everyone was getting panicked easily due to the tide which could wipe us all anytime then.

i remember me and a friend decided to call someone at the coast (and amazingly there was a phone and a working line and in my dream, it was a really brilliant idea that dunno why noone has thought of..compared to the near 0% chance of survival idea if we were to pursue the first one) but unfortunately noone there at the coast believed to come and save us. even wanted to call the national head police but probably dunno the number. haah :P

meanwhile, we were exploring through the island (or was it one of the rooms in our ship) and found a library..lol. i remembered me and the same friend (really faceless to me now..) was looking through some law books, having a crash course which was probably the last thing you wanna do out here on a deserted island, trying to check whether we can outwit those police at the coast to believe us somehow. and i really dunno how does that link with reading law. then we had this brilliant idea to look for law students..coz we gave up with going through the law books, constantly with thoughts of death lingering close..really can't concentrate..

found a 3rd year, who we enquired whether she knows anyone more senior than her, alive and currently in the same predicament as us..and we finally found a couple of 5th years. all i remember of the conversation we had with the law student was something about if we were to call them (coastguards/police), they can be persecuted and to be held accountable for our deaths in the event such thing is realised. so we decided to call again and threaten them with our newfound knowledge..think it worked, coz the next scene was help being rendered pretty swiftly..haha.

so what was that about? lol

woken up by the alarm @ 8.50am..darn..never knew what happened..

on a side note, i feel really liberated!! dunno why..maybe i'm finally away from something that i thought i'm over with, well, at least i AM over with, now..well, here's to new beginnings! =)

hHAAHHAHAHAHAHah...and no, i'm not drunk...

Ratatouille - one word, scrumptuous! Just loved the animation, and Paris, o how lovely! lol...Movie makers should make more food-related movies...and take my advice, if you're gonna watch this show for the first time on the big screen (which I highly doubt anyone will be), buy some popcorn! My stomach was literally rumbling halfway through the show, made me repeatedly regret for not going in with the slightest bit of food!! (OR, just don't go in with an almost-empty stomach like I did)

Absolutely love this kind of food show...hehe =P More food show!!!!!!!!!!

Glorious food..................

Example of food =P

You and I Both (Jason Mraz)

2007-08-13T12:34:00.000+08:00

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

:) my idea of singing...

2007-08-01T20:29:00.000+08:00

I just wanna say, the Ivy I know in Edinburgh is sOOOoo different from the one in KL...haha. (She's sOOoo gonna kill me for writing this) Well, let's see...she is so more responsible, know exactly where to get the cheapest milk, eggs, potatoes, etc, know how to put her cullinary skills to use, where to go, and so forth...apparently her reason was that she is not so free here to roam as she pleases in KL, what with me coming home half dead after work, and ending up sleeping and not layaning her as much. Excuses! haha. Come on, the reason I'm saying this is, I was really impressed by your maturity over there! haha.

Anyway, just to update on certain things, (and after being chided by Joseph for not updating) I recently went to watch the Simpsons, and as it turned out, unexpectedly, that I liked it more than what I've expected. So, go, heed my advice, lol, and watch it as it's quite entertaining and hilarious.

Also unexpectedly, we accidentally bought the Harry Potter book (7th and last) twice. Reason being both me and Ivy AND dad was equally as kiasu on the day it was out for sale. So now we have a second copy and I am looking for a buyer who would be willing to take it in exchange for RM80. Please let me know if you're interested, yes? Anyone at all...lol. Oh yea, it's the children's version. So very colourful one. =P

I've finally finished reading Pride and Prejudice, gosh, after reading 1-2 chapters a day for close to 2 months! Congrats to me!

By the way, I've tendered from my current job and will start the new job next month. I hope it's a good decision...

P.s Clair Leong! Happy birthday dear..congrats on turning 20. And, despite popular belief, I didn't forget! =)

2007-06-24T04:45:00.000+08:00

omg..Can't believe i found this long forgotten picture (from HOI yahoo webpage) of us taking part in bakat asayo 2004..i think i should be the 7th from the left. 7th! imagine that, my favourite number too. lol. We were singing "Knocking on the doors of heaven"..It's really funny reading the comments too.

Although we ~~came in last~~ didn't win, (heh) that year was a most memorable one while in my first year (i believe) in Lifeline.

3 years already?!

ok..this is what happens when you get jetlag..emo!!!!!!!!!!!!! why can't i sleep?! i really need to get some sleep or else i'll look like crap on Monday! i'll just go cry now. bleh bleh bleh..

edit: can't believe i can't sleep till the sun and some birds are even up. now, i feel like the walking dead...

Calton Hill

2007-06-23T18:35:00.000+08:00

"The Presentation Seat Programme was set up by The Corporation of The City of Edinburgh after World War II. Sir William Y. Darling, the war-time Lord Provost, presented the first bench in memory of his uncle, Dr. Alexander Darling. It was placed on the South side of Princes Street opposite his shop at 124 Princes Street.

The example set by Sir William Darling was to encourage fellow shopkeepers and businesses to donate seats opposite their premises and a campaign was started "Seats for Citizens" to improve seating on Princes Street. "

source: http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/

Beautiful poem by the way. This was found at Calton Hill, on our second walk there. However, was somewhat tainted by a rather creepy guy wearing tight Nike spandex who made several rounds back to where we were. He was smiling creepily too, which has forced us to make haste. All this took place while we were walking towards that somewhat isolated corner, which we thought promised us with a little privacy and well, today, with its share of creepy looking fella. While we were making our way, I kept in sight a Border Collie bobbing about at the corner of my eye. My fascination with four legged furballs have yet to cease. As we turned the corner, we ran into the Border Collie which was equally surprised. Why does it had to be at that corner?! I was expecting it to bob out into view a little sooner than that, but no..... and you know poor me, who scares easily, let out a tiny squeal at the sight of it.

We walked around and took some shots of each other. And of course, of the panoramic view of the city from a high place. Lol. How many places you know in Malaysia have such space to for such breathtaking views?

Coming around the hill, we saw a really huge pillared remain, Edinburgh's Folly. According to my camwhoring buddy, Edinburgers (obviously not what they call themselves) wanted to build something like the pantheon but halfway through due to obvious bad planning...they ran out of money. That's why its left there to remind the people of Edinburgh not to be so foolish. There was no feasible way to go up for the purpose of indulging in our camwhoring pleasures on those few slab of stones...saw some youngsters up there though, who did made it up. I could have made it up, since I'm rather tall myself, ahem, or so I believed...unfortunately, I'm of a soul who needed much encouragement which was not fed to its justice by my other camwhoring buddy.

And of course, IF those youngsters weren't there to see me struggle my limbs, pathetically, onto what can only be known as a folly slab of stone anyways. =P

2007-06-15T21:38:00.000+08:00

One thing that often amazes me about this city is how everyone looks like "ang mo's" despite how diverse they look. It's not in their hair or eye colour. You just recognise them as non-Asians. Like in their more protruding eyebrow, deeper eye sockets and sharper nose structure.

It was a really windy day yesterday. About 9-10 degrees apparently. Must have layered myself with almost four layers including a shawl. Was walking along Princes Street when I saw a poor, obviously shivering dog out in the cold, holding a hat out with its teeth, begging for change, right in front of its owner, who was playing a guitar and harmonica. I felt very sad indeed. =(

After braving abit of the chilly summer wind, we finally managed to catch a bus to Tesco, which was fairly far out from the city. Felt good to be on a bus ride that lasted more than 5 minutes, like the recent one we took to Penicuik where I saw a sign which read "Danger Troops Crossing" which I felt regretful for loudly pronouncing it as "hanger" with a "d" instead of its obviously correct pronunciation of "ranger" with a "d". I didn't catch what it meant then. Ivy's friend, Mei Chan, was laughing away so hilariously that I didn't know at first what has come to her. Thought she was easily amused like many of Ivy's friends who are quite so, each time I open my mouth. It's only on the way back when I again saw the sign that I realised my blurness, oh gosh, which resulted in another uproar from MC (and myself). If there were more people on board the second deck of the bus, they'd probably gonna think these are Loony Asians high on, I dunno, water?!

Lol.

There were not many days where the sun blazed in its full summer spendour despite having been here for close to a month. According to sister, it was even exactly the wintery weather they normally experience, and this was just when we decided to buy a day (bus) ticket. This has resulted in the day ticket not quite utilised as to how I'd imagined we joy-riding in, since we felt (more like I) lethargic from the chilly and often drowsy-on-the-eyes weather.

Our trip to Tesco has resulted in me having to lug two more books back to KL; Life of Pi and Pride and Prejudice, besides another book I bought on How to raise a happy and healthy cat, the latter obviously was due to it being very worth-buying. Well, at least I get to feast my eyes on all the incredibly cute and colorful pictures of cats in the book even if my wish to own a real one may never be realised, or rather not as soon as NOW.

I'm currently working on Pride and Prejudice and I WILL finish it.

People here are very nice indeed, what with occassionally providing me with home-cooked meals, top notched baked cakes and cookies while watching runs of Count of Monte Cristo in French, thank goodness for English subtitles. That's 8 hours of that Count, by the way. But nothing can top watching Pride and Prejudice, with the dashingly handsome Mr Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen) which I proudly pronounce the most handsome of them all!

Ivy is also constantly trying to convert me to being a House fan, to no avail. Not today, though.

Ahhh.....life is bliss indeed, with my three meals a day. Good work at making me slightly rounder, dear sister! Please remind me to return the favour. =P

I shall leave with this "National Geographic Quality" picture taken proudly by yours truly...presenting the ducks and swans of Salisbury Crag! Woohoo.... =P

Smart Dog!!!!!!!!!! =)

Sometimes I get tired of this me-first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you

'Cause your light shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

Feels just so fine
When we touch the sky me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can't it always be so good?

But it's all right, I know you're out there
Doing what you've gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I'd be lost in space without you

Long lost song I heard in the car. Nice lyrics. Now, why can't anyone sing that to me? I'm waiting... =P

A feeble attempt to stir, fry, boil, steam, toast, grill, whatever, to get my brains go through some form of activity!!

Don't know why on and off, I'll be dreaming about this fishes in a fishtank. The water keeps getting murkier each time this scene appear in my dream. Not to mention, I kept getting panicked not knowing when was the last time I've fed the poor fishes. They look like the same ones...sad.
Lesson #1: DO NOT get a fish.

My brains are not working...I really need to hit some books, like now, seriously. Sometimes, I can't even follow conversations, simply because I couldn't catch what people are saying, not that I'm disinterested. The other day when I went for an interview, I found out that I seriously sucked at BM! I can't write what I want to simply because I don't know the words I wanted to express..so I just strike out the point I wanted to write...what the crap. Darn it...I enjoyed being smart. I was smart before! I like how teachers treat me when I was smart. I want that back! Give me back my brains! haha. sad.
Lesson #2: Pick up a book and start reading!

I'm such a Gemini. I get along best with only one friend at a time. Hard for me to go in packs.
Lesson #3: I'm such a keeper! You know you have my full attention, dear friend. hahahaah.

I dreamt about this guy from work who asked me to be his gf. It was so sweet, and cause of that I kinda liked him, just because he appeared in my dream! haha, like that also can ah. Now shy adi whenever see him around. Just shows how kesian-ed I am. What the crap..
Lesson #4: Wake up earlier and stop day-dreaming (like sleeping during the day), before you fall for everyone in the office and start acting silly.

One more I promise..nowadays, I feel bravier going to the gym. After reading about all this gay stories, and witnessing some really friendly scenarios at the weight-lifting section, lol, I feel that there are other species who should feel more insecure than the x-chromosome ones. haha. This one no lesson, just enjoy gym to the max!

ok, wanna go sleep liao. the end.

2007-04-25T23:59:00.000+08:00

This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again

And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

~Steven Curtis Chapman

I love this song. Although it's really sad. Was listening to this CD while picking out some songs for Anne. His songs are pretty awesome..

On Top Of Spaghetti

2007-04-16T19:10:00.000+08:00

(Not entirely original but pretty much)
By Tom Glazer

On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese.
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,
And early next summer it grew to a tree.

The tree was all covered, all covered with moss.
It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball 'cause someone might sneeze.

And yeah, toilets hate me too.

Toilets Hate Me!!!

2007-04-15T20:01:00.000+08:00

I've just had a most unbearable and depressing time at Subang Parade, well initially anyways. Why can't all toilets at shopping complexes incorporate the same system as KLCC? Where the queue starts at the beginning of the row of toilets, and you get to go if it is your turn/next in line? In other places, no......you wish. You pick a stall, and you wait. And wait...and you start to wonder why the heck is this person taking so long...and you see others go after you. And you start wondering whether there IS a person inside or are you just plain dumb for queuing there? You want to check, but it seems embarassing to put your ear to the stall. OR...whether to start lining up at another stall, but would kill yourself if WHEN you just start queueing elsewhere, this freaking person would THEN come out. After the mental anguish of waiting and waiting, you can't take it anymore, and start queuing at another stall, only to REALIZE your worst nightmare, and someone who JUST enterred the toilet just swooshed into the stall you just gave up on. And you so feel like kiling this poor old lady who just came out. Then you begin to question why am I ALWAYS the unlucky one?? It's mental I tell ya!! And it's not the first time!!! Toilets HATE me!!! WHY can't the stupid management use their head abit huh???! WHY????

Arghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that is probably why I went to buy myself a pair of plastic specs!!!

p.s This post is not meant to be funny! It's really frustrating! I'm gonna write to their management now!!!!!!!!!

2007-04-08T20:57:00.000+08:00

I strolled upon someone's blog and found this. I wonder what I'll get if I submit this letter to my boss, heh.

Today is Easter, the most important day in our Christian calendar. I am unfortunately one of those people who worships Christmas more. Alas, I've succumbed to commersialisation as Fr OC would concur. I have now become this person who just live to work..and for the little time I have to spare I would be sleeping. Christmas has come and gone, and so has Easter. I wonder how many more Christmas/Easter I'll have to see swing by me without me getting onto the bandwagon. I've not done anything this lent to renew and strenghten my currently brittle faith. I can only envy from afar people who has fasted through lent and prayed hard, and can say to themselves, hey, it has been a trying lent, but thank God Easter is here.. The bible is just sitting on the table next to my laptop, and I can now see just a thin layer of dust collecting on the surface, from the corner of my eye.

Sigh..now people know why I "shouldn't" blog, you get anything but chirpiness here. Lol.

Anyway, just to digress from my somewhat pathetic-ness, I'll just continue with more pathetic-ness, lol. Let me just give you some history on the theme to Profound Logic. I originally derived {Profound Logic} after considering that the theme to this blog would be a cross between God and intelligence-something I want to identify myself at that time, which was someone who craves to deepen one's relationship with God and be logic-ly sound. That would explain "profound" (besides that someone once commented that I'm profound, which I totally am =P), "logic"-chess related and probably the rubiks cube. Even the two people holding laptops, which I initially thought was a good idea since well, initially this blog started with the idea where 2 persons would be blogging, which has now become, well, how shall I put it, one person. Hence, back to profound. heh.

For all those who can say that Easter has been good, you know there's at least one person who'd envy you, heh.

Happy Easter. God loved the world so much that He gave His only son.

2007-03-25T19:58:00.000+08:00

The loneliest place in the world is without You
Too many of my days Lord, I’ve tried to spend there
Searching for what I know was only found in You
I strayed so far away, I wasn’t sure You were still there
But deep in my heart was a faint security
And I could almost feel Your open arms
And hear You say to me

Prodigal son, come back to my love
You are the one, that my heart seeks for
Whatever you’ve done, I cannot even remember
Although there are many in my house
It’s still empty without my prodigal son

Have You so much mercy You would pardon me
It’s so hard to believe Your love would hide my sins
And even though You take the past far away from me
Could this be a chance to have my place in You again
Speak clear to me Lord that my faith would fully mend
If this is a chance to come home
Then would You please say again

And what makes you think, I’m no longer your Father
For nothing can separate you from My love
And each day I go out to the road where you departed
Saying maybe today my lost one will come
And in hopes of your return I stand with open arms saying

DRESSES

2007-03-18T21:06:00.000+08:00

I stumbled upon little black book's blogspot..lol..and decided to post some of my favourite gorgeous dresses from their label..mainly for MY own entertainment purposes. Looking at dresses make me happy..lol =) So here they are in no particular order..

Happyness...hehehe. I have the last one, though in brown. Darn it, blue looks nice too!

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like You

You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray

One of my grandaunt passed away last week, which we last visited her during CNY. She looked terminal then. She had lung cancer, although a non-smoker. We reckoned it was due to passive smoking, since both her sons were smokers. At times like this, I just can't help to be angry at all those people who are smokers and have overlooked their loved ones for the sake of their own selfish content. Come on, for goodness sake!

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

Sometimes, reading other people's blogs give me some insight into my past and how I was so blind. I think I've screwed up some of my relationships with people I used to be close to. And I didn't even remember how we got to being such strangers.

Currently, I'm trying to work out how I can refinance my car, or probably sell it off..quit my other commitments (like fitness center and my liking to shop) to ultimately quit my job. I'm still thinking when I should as I wanted to get 3 years from my current job, but I don't think I'm doing such a good job in time management and especially in managing the people, i.e managers/clients. February next year seems like a long time to go, which means I need to go through another peak period, which I totally dread. And since I'm so retarded in my social skills, that kinda made the situation better.

After quitting, I would like to take time off, stay with sister over in UK and see how long I can live off her. lol..

hating life...I need a break.

****************
by the way, I was really surprised to get an sms from some people from sfx who invited me to join their choir..wonder how they got my number, since I have hardly spoken to them and never thought they knew I existed..what is even more weird, I don't even join the choir in ckk. Really weird...

2007-02-25T23:27:00.000+08:00

Being one of those grains of sand
I get blown all around the world
And what I make of it
Oh I don't know
What's the meaning of it
Oh I don't know

I've been around so many times
That the worlds turning in my mind
What do I think of it
Oh it's so so

What more can you be than the things they say you've been

Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me

The kids round here look just like sticks
They trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove

Gothic girls all dress in black
Serious as heart attacks
It takes a little bit of getting used to

The old man with the whiskey stains
Lost the night forgot his name
His poor wife will sleep alone again
And it aint hard to understand
Why she's holding on to her own hand

It's midnight in chelsea, midnight in chelsea
No ones asking me for favors
No ones looking for a savoir
They're too busy saving me

There is no problem too big
God cannot solve it
There is no mountain too tall
He cannot move it

There is no storm too dark
God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe it

If He carried the weight of the world
Upon His shoulder
I know, my brother, that He will carry you

If He carried the weight of the world
Upon His shoulder
I know, my sister, that He will carry you

For De-Stressing...

Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else

In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times

When you snap your finger or wink your eye
I come a-running to you
I'm tied to your apron strings
And there's nothing that I can do

2007-02-08T13:26:00.000+08:00

I've just had the worst dinner ever...

Mental note: Don't ever order Seafood Au Gratin at Victoria's Station. It's so nauseating, someone should sue!!

Oh gosh, I think it's riding up again...

Lessons from Bruce Almighty

2007-01-14T22:16:00.000+08:00

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here there can be no denying
One of us is changing or maybe we've just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

I've been ignoring God pretty much lately..been quite ashamed of myself. Stems from my laziness to even take the initiative to pray. I felt that He's ignoring me anyways. Can't blame Him though, I mean, if you ignore someone, most of the time, they'll ignore you as well, right? I've even asked Him for a sign for me to continue serving. I don't really wanna do it anymore this year. But how on earth is He gonna give me a sign when I don't read His word?? I didn't really think much about it after that.

So when I watched Bruce Almighty yesterday afternoon, it was a pretty strong cue when Morgan Freeman aka God said, "You can't make someone to love you, if I know how to make someone to love me, my job is done."

Free will was ultimately what was granted to us from our inception. And God doesn't interfere with that. When I heard the actor saying it (felt like he was uttering the words directly at me), it stirred me rather powderfully. Well, apart from my almost empty stomach from my early brunch-cum-gym session.

Well, maybe He is trying to tell me something.

Either ways, I hope the line in Bruce Almighty moves some of you people out there and hopefully inspires you to do something about it, especially if you find your relationship with God rather dwindling of late..

Some random thoughts at 3am..well, almost

2006-12-29T02:22:00.000+08:00

Wow..I just got back from work an hour ago..man, that was pretty scary, my heart was beating so fast when I walked to the basement carpark..I thought if I lose my life to this damm Company, I'd probably come back to haunt the building. Had my dinner with dad at Dikayu..and they overbilled us..really gotta check your bill when you eat out.

Will be going to Melaka..see Grandma..have Satay Celup..shopping..gosh, can do all that in one day? 2006 is fast ending!! So little time before all the heart attack continues!!!

Watched Cujo yesterday..man, that was a pretty sick dog. After watching that horror, was just wondering what was the producer thinking when they decided on a St. Bernard to cast as Beethoven, after its debut appearance as Cujo. And what was going through the mind of Cujo's producer when they casted a Saint as their psychotic, obviously demon-posessed four-legged lead. Food for thought eh?

Had a great time lepaking with friends from church today..having lunch..watching this hilarious feel-good movie..sharpening our skills at being fickled minded-searching for a place to yumcha, yet again!..and knotting cherry stems with your tongue. I didn't do the latter of course! Fun bunch..

Happy Holidays..made your resolutions yet or copying last year's? =)

2006-12-25T19:58:00.000+08:00

It's funny how many things you'll see just watching out the window...or just positioning your eyes at the automated parking exit. I must say that Summit's system is rather dodgy and they should sue the contractor who installed the ticketing system for them. It's so inefficient as it breaks down rather often. Speaking from experience, since dad was always complaining about the payment machines. I saw several cars having to reverse their car to try another exit and often, the unproblematic one becomes problematic and vice versa.

I remember two incidents whereby there was this huge lorry trying the then unproblematic exit and was talking to the security guard, no doubt about the inefficient ticketing system. Thereafter, he drove past the exit as the barrier went up, only to bang the rain guard which was somewhat a little low as the lorry's roof gashed against it. The security guard was yelling after the guy while muttering to himself, I hope, to a colleague I can't see..

Then there was this couple where at the exit, I saw the girl searching frantically in her bag.. for the ticket. At first I thought it was the touch-n-go card, but it was the ticket..nevermind that. Anyway, it was pretty intense, I saw hand gestures from the guy, losing his patience no doubt, and the girl panicking. In the end, she poured everything out from her bag onto her lap. The guy had to pull aside while putting up the emergency lights. Eventually she found the ticket.. I think she'd most probably throw away the bag after that incident.. or, gosh, I hope they didn't break up over something so trivial as that!

By the way, carolling on Christmas eve was amazingly superb eh? Although the conductor seemed a tad fierce.. I won't want to be in the violinist's shoes. Imagine the pressure! They were so perfect, I was gonna kill myself! The many hidden talents...gosh...simply awesome.

2006-12-18T00:20:00.000+08:00

Haih...I'm so depressed. Everyday is heart attack nowadays...I hope I won't get a real one, one of these days...how I wish I'm not such a social retard.

2006-12-15T23:33:00.000+08:00

Ok, I'm just gonna blog about this for the benefit of those who didn't know about this really bizarre, outta-the-world coincidence. Like Lizamey.

Just that, we were yaking about this Altered Frequency guy seen at the Planet Shakers conference. Aaron was saying I should go say HI. Which I would probably die before I'll ever do something like that..

We left the lobby without thinking much of him. After which, we saw him at the elevator, and it was like "fate"..sheesh. Like as if. Then I joked that it would probably be fate if he took the stairs like all of us, which he didn't. No sign of the fella. Then I said "Well, if he meets us at Starbucks..then that's definitely fate kua"..but we were dawdling along Starbucks while waiting for Suria to get off the phone, where there were no sign of the fella also.

Please bear in mind that I was so totally not thinking that he's gonna show up anyway! Fate..konon..

We decided to pitstop at some mamak stall in ss15. When I got off the MPV, I got an sms from Aaron - "it's fate la"..I was like..what?? Then I was thinking..it can't be..and suddenly that Altered Frequency guy was sitting there!! In a really long row of people having their makan there! At that very secluded mamak stall where I've never been before myself. OK, that was really bizarre...........don't you think?

2006-12-13T08:48:00.000+08:00

Don't you just love it if you thought it was 9am but in actual fact it's actually 8am? It's like you've just won an hour! haha...

I've had another bad dream today... I think somewhere inside there I got married to my boss and this gal was irritating me like hell, playing some flirtatious game with this guy. She was shifting her clothes alot sitting beside him... and I won't go into details.

Which brings me to the question, is it the right thing to be obvious if you like someone? Like public display of affection. Somehow I find it really annoying. I mean, it's like as if you're marking your territory with this person don't you think? Like a dog pee-ing all over the place. Hehe, abit bad my metaphor but you get the picture. Yea, but it's quite uncivilised if you ask me. Stone age ah?

Maybe I'm just jealous that I'm not such a take charge person. Lose out to someone who takes the initiative.

I need to kill someone now! Ok, I'm just joking... get out of my way. Who's goin planetshakers tomorrow/Friday night??

The Priest Who Can't Lie

2006-12-10T13:45:00.000+08:00

A distinguished looking young lady is on a flight returning from Switzerland. She finds herself seated next to a priest and asks" Excuse me, father, may I ask a favour of you?"

"Well of course Miss, what can I do for you?" he replies.

"Here's the dilemma, I purchased for myself, a superbly sophisticated electronic hair remover. I paid a lot of money for it. I really went well over the limits set forth by Customs, and I fear they will confiscate it from me. Could you perhaps secret it through Customs for me under your robes?"

"I certainly could my dear, only I must warn you I really am not ever able to lie..."

"You have such an honest face father, surely they will never ask any questions of you," and with that she hands him the hair remover.

After landing they proceed through Customs and it becomes the father's turnin line. "Father, do you have anything to declare?" asks the Custom'sofficer.

"From the top of my head to my waist I have nothing to declare my son,'' said the priest.

Finding this answer a little strange the custom's officer proceeds to ask," And from the waist to the floor, what do you have to declare?"

The father replies, "I have a marvellous little instrument destined to be used on a woman, but which has never yet been used..."

Roaring with laughter the Custom's officer says, "Go right through father. Next!"

Have you ever heard a song and want to hear it more and dunno who's the singer or even the title? All you have is a couple of generic lines..like "in love, with you, whatever"...which could run to a million lyrics of songs when googled? Hehe...not that I have the solution to that, but my darlings, I finally found the song I so wanted to know for a zillion years!!! I'm now known as Ms Resourceful!!! Nothing I can't search.. hoho.

It's by Al Green...Let's Stay Together.. =) I know, totally self-centred post as usual...hehehe.

I, I'm so in love with you,
whatever you want to do,
is alright with me,
'cause you make me feel
so brand-new,
I want to spend my life with you,
they say it seems, baby,
since we've been together,
loving you forever,
is what I need.
Let me be the one you come runnin' to,
I'll never be untrue,
Ooo baby,
Let's... Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad, happy or sad...

I woke up today after having a bad dream! This is what I get for going back to sleep after waking up. I thought since it was 9am, still early mah! So I opened the window to let the cool morning breeze in..and continued my slumber.

I dreamt that it was night...and I was held hostage in my room with a murderer in the house..who have allegedly murdered my dad..soon after, I was so relieved to get some visitors. The murderer was in another room when they came. I remember feeding my visitors truckloads of chocolates, and was rather puzzled why on earth I kept pulling all these from the drawer, while remaining somewhat calm. I think it was probably because the visitors had just barged in and just felt so comfortable, chit-chatting away, and I don't know how to break this horrible news to them. Lol.

I think it must be those chocolates I have downstairs in the fridge, which still remained uneaten to this day..brought back by sister. Please don't knock my head bi! haha.

I remembered my visitors were Janice! (from church), her sister, Valarie, her husband and another guy I don't know. Hmm...wonder why them. I remembered about finished telling them about the murderer when I was awokened by my phone. Darn it..would we have fought the murderer or would the visitors run for their life? Beaten him to death by my truckloads of chocolates maybe? Hehe. We'll never know..and I don't want to know either!! Please give me good dreams tonight! Like eating marshmellows or something.

I woke up to the then hot afternoon heat instead of the cool breeze. Lol.

2006-11-04T22:07:00.000+08:00

Just something I'd like to record...had a good time at Sunway Lagoon with fellow colleagues. It was the firm's Family Day...unfortunately the only free ticket we can get is for ourselves since we are without family until we get married. Lol. I went on something quite bizarre...seriously thought it was something I went last time...but it's so NOT. I've mistaken the Flying Carpet for this crazy-360 degrees-swinging in the air-gigantic boat thing. Anyways, me and my colleagues were sitting in the front row for quite awhile waiting for the crowd to pile in. There were these people sitting in front of us (think they're from college). Conversation went something like this:

Group of students: We....from Malaysia.
They thought we were all Japanese (I think it must have been the heat that caused us to turn lobsters and look like some foreigners who have never seen the sun). We laughed hard.

Guy #1: I'm ___ (can't remember..). Single and available...but not so free.
hmm...what does that mean..

Guy #2: Are you all still studying?
We laughed even harder. Sure we are...don't we have this stressed out gonna kill ourselves with this ride look? I guess our bosses haven't worked us hard enough yet?!

Gal #1: Panas-lah. Cepat la!!! (calling the ride operators to start the ride)

Guy #1: (after several times of Gal #1 saying panas-lah) Panas, bukak-lah!! (meaning, teasing her to strip)

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

Man, I screamed so hard, I kinda lost my scream when we were in the air...instead was laughing hard when we were tilted 360 degrees. But it was fun la. Great adrenaline rush. Try it when you have a chance to go there someday...

Work Work Work

2006-11-04T00:15:00.000+08:00

Of late, I've just been swamped in work. And it's just gonna get worse..things will start to pile up, i.e the "after fieldwork-submit for review, the many stages-clear queries-while doing another job" cycle. Alot of juggling to do. But it has been a rather perky week since this has been the Bvlgari week. Towards the end of our fieldwork, we went to their outlet in KLCC to check out some bling blings..hehe. Not that we were doing stocktake, but just to make some enquiries and since certain documents were there. Natasha (my fellow colleague) was trying out some of their watches. She definitely knows more of their products than me. The store manager was rather hyper..kept telling us that she checks the stocks properly, and there's no stock losses..repeatedly..like we don't believe her. They have comfy cushions in there. And nice ambience..soothing jazzy-soulful music. Not too customer friendly though, since you need to be let in to get in..as their doors are locked. I guess their customer who "dares" to go in really know what they want and is serious about getting something when they decide to ring the door.

I really would like to meet any one of their customers..why would people pay sooo much to accessorize themselves? It's rather bizarre. Some of their individual items are priced as much as a low cost house. Really wanna attach faces (of customers) to the names I have in the file. Faces, not faeces. Lol. Although..that might not be a bad idea-get this right, faeces to the file, not their names!

Fridays are my favourite day of the week. Today has been rather uneventful as always..bored bored bored..team leaders were hunting for help on jobs like crazy the whole morning. Even the pregnant lady was not spared. =) The department is seriously in need of manpower. Audit anyone? Everyone is so packed..gonna explode soon. Feeling feverish-ish already. Heart beating fast most of the time..not been going to gym for the entire week..haih. Office is rather empty nowadays, alot of them are out on fieldwork and a big bunch was seconded outstation. And it's a Friday!! Not that I'm complaining, I prefer to work in an empty office anyways..lesser phones ringing; lesser interruptions.

Next week I'll be working somewhere near St. John's Cathedral..so can go lepak there if got time..and pay visit to my school..maybe spot a monkey. And I don't mean humans.

=) ahh..yes.

Animal Planet

2006-10-28T15:00:00.000+08:00

I absolutely love Animal Planet. Not a planet exclusively for animals; the planet unfortunately doesn't exist, but a channel on Astro that features all day long of animal-related materials like rescuing animals from the street, documentaries and even America's funniest animals. Nowadays, there are fewer people who adores animals, especially pets, I, for one, am one. Pretty nasty sentence structure I know; that's because I've not been catching up with my reading. Or papers. Which is something I'm not particularly proud of since I had to hear of that front page image of an LRT dangling out of its tracks as if from a "Superman" from someone, not its source =P

Sue me. Blek.

Just the other day I saw a cat (there's one in my neighbourhood that I spot occassionally where there's a bell dangling from its cute little neck) running with something bloody in its mouth. Ahh... the adventures it must find here. Wish I was a cat for a day..the things I'd see! That would be so fun. Cats always have this way of walking either so gracefully or rather, proudly down the street which either makes someone a sucker for it or despises it. Heh, how nice if I can be more thick skinned and greet everyone I meet like I greet cats. lol. Some, or most of the time, they don't even respond, and I don't feel embarassed anyways. Is that good/bad? I'm so extremely shy that when I saw someone I used to know from church in gym, the instant I saw that person, I looked away. And I think he saw me! Argh. Haih. Better not see him again!

Funny though, how animals are never ugly. Even turtles. Which we reared long ago. Even remembered how we (and sister) got so exited, we found out their favourite food (fruits and carrots mostly). And we found out how they love to bask! So we put up a rock for it to perch. And they sure loved to bask! =)

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

Yesterday, I met up with some people from church for dinner. It's good to see a really old friend of mine. Haven't seen her in awhile, and it was good catching up.

Today, I went hiking. Bukit Gasing was pretty muddy. My poor Nikes. I even scratched my leg while crossing the hanging bridge. My friend was afraid I might get Tetanus, but I think I had the vaccination in Form 3? I hope..no fever at this moment. lol. This is my second hike after FRIM, where in both occassions I felt nauseated. And then my friend brought up some story about a poor guide who had to carry a dead guy (who apparently died of heart attack while hiking Gunung Tahan) all the way down the mountain. I mean imagine, 5 days carrying a corpse. She went on to describe how fluids start to flow out from the dead guy within a few days of death. I felt like puking even more.

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

And finally, something for those itching photographers wannabes...

http://hk.promo.yahoo.com/movie/superman/Stop_Press_Game/index.html

2006-10-22T00:15:00.000+08:00

Today, I went to the gym. Quite an accomplishment, as I covered quite alot of ground. And I thought someone was stalking me. It's so weird to see a person everywhere I go..probably I'm a little perasan as the gym is rather small..

Then to Windmills for dinner with my family. I heard a sizzling noise behind, a customer's order has arrived. I turned to the back briefly (since I'm so kepo) and noticed an Indian middle-aged guy having dinner alone. I felt sad that he wasn't celebrating Deepavali with his family. Abit presumptious of me, yeah, but I still felt sad. Probably I'm reminded how sad I feel when I'm alone sometimes.

After that we walked across the street to to have a drink and listen to some music at the piano lounge @ Sheraton, only that there wasn't a pianist. I've always loathed going to such places because of the smokers, which not only drives me crazy, it stinks up my clothes too. Also, the performances by ladies which are scantily clad are not really my cup of tea. But lo and behold, the lady performing tonight was not anything I've pictured. She has a nice voice too. Although quite bling bling..but I like their music era, ok ok lah..

During intermission/half-time, lol..she came over to greet the people from the floor, and when she came to our table, she said to me "Woh, this is a young one" like I'm some kind of cub or something, like it's probably not legal for me to be drinking or something..don't lah look so shocked, it's quite worrying ya know..bleh. I promptly asked her whether she could do "Misty" and she said she would. Yay. When she asked what other songs I'd like to request, I can't think of any. Darn it. And I so wanted Jamie Cullum's tracks. Well apart from that, breathing in the polluted air was so torturous it spoiled my mood although she did sing well. Towards the end, I was burning some of the mixed nuts on the tealights. Some were really burnt. And I was smart enough not to touch the fork. Which is made of steel. lol. Well, that's lots of fun. not

And then we went back with clothes all stinked up.

That pretty much summed up my Saturday.

Oh, and i got a souvenir; indigestion, at night...

It's gonna be a long weekend. Gotta find things to do to avoid boring myself to death.....

Not Rant #2

2006-10-16T00:03:00.000+08:00

Some overdued posts... what the heck.. it's MY blog, and I'll do whatever I want... HAHAHAH. Man, I'm so drunk.

Anyway, I miss Singapore abit. I like how efficient things are there. I like the really fast MRT escalators that whoosh people to whereever they want to go. lol... I like the way things are hardly in bottleneck situations (well, at least while I was there). And for the first time ever, there are actually people who come out of their way to feed those poor forsakened cats in the city.

Sis and I were joking about how people in Singapore either wear earphones, bluetooth or hearing aids. Everyone has places to go and things to do. lol...

Singapore aside, I spotted this sticker at the back of a car; exactly what does "If you don't believe in God, you better be right!" means? At first it was pretty darn hard to tell which direction that person was heading, but I quickly spotted another tiny sticker on its right that says "Jesus loves"... yeah, still...

Yesterday, I had dinner at Yuen's buffet steamboat. And the oddest thing... people are STILL fighting over the chicken wings there! I was like... crazy people!! Those who managed to actually get IN there.. (which was pretty impossible especially if you don't have a fork ready or something) was hording ALL the chicken they can get their hands on! Wow... are those stuff that good? Well anyway, I managed to pick out 4 after the second batch. It was pretty intense.. lol. Just wanted to feel kiasu abit. Haha.

Rant #1

2006-09-29T20:05:00.000+08:00

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????

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

Part II:

I stumbled on this post on the bluehyppo forum way after the finale was over...and found out that I was actually entitled to free tickets for the event!!!! argh... no wonder someone was trying to contact me on Friday night... why am I so damm blur?!?!

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

2006-09-19T22:45:00.000+08:00

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...

2006-09-17T22:31:00.000+08:00

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

2006-09-10T23:12:00.000+08:00

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

2006-09-06T07:51:00.000+08:00

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

2006-09-03T00:31:00.000+08:00

"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.

I am a contributor : )

Terbaik

2006-08-27T16:33:00.000+08:00

Tak kusangka kau hadir di hidupku
Kau penuhi semua impian hidupku
Sungguh Tuhan ku bersyukur padaMu
Kau izinkan aku untuk mencintainya

Kau terbaik yg pernah ku miliki
Jangan kau pergi dariku
Namun bila harus berpisah
Ku ingin kau tahu
Kau lah yg terbaik

Namun bila harus berpisah
Ku ingin kau tahu
Ku ingin kau tahu
Ku ingin kau tahu
Kau lah yg terbaik

~Ello

Back from Singapore to find out that Lokman has been eliminated from OIAM.. sigh :(

2006-08-20T20:25:00.000+08:00

~~Harrow Bi!!! Happy 21st Birthday! Thanks for being the bestest and sweetest sister one can ever ask!!! God bless dearie!!!~~

This song especially for you (excerpt from Stardust)

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb,
always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday,
the music of the years gone by

--love you loads!!! =)

Yet I Will Praise

2006-08-10T08:22:00.000+08:00

performed by Melissa Boraski
written by Andy Park

I will praise You, Lord my God
Even in my brokenness
I will praise You Lord
I will praise You, Lord my God
Even in my desperation
I will praise You Lord

And I can't understand
All that You allow
I just can't see the reason
But my life is in Your hands
And though I cannot see
I choose to trust You

Even when my heart is torn
I will praise (trust) You Lord
Even when I feel deserted
I will praise (trust) You Lord
Even in the darkest valley
I will praise (trust) You Lord
When my world is shattered
And it seems all hope is gone
Yet I will praise You Lord

I will trust You, Lord my God
Even in my loneliness
I will trust You Lord
I will trust You, Lord my God
Even when I cannot hear You
I will trust You Lord

And I will not forget
That You hung on a cross
Lord You bled and died for me
And if I have to suffer
I know that You've been there
And I know that You're here now

I want to take this opportunity to thank dear Evelyn and Wei Fen for forwarding this song to me. I've been really away from God of late, and they were two really kind souls. And God sent. My sis too. Not till today I've realised how much God has spoken to me through all these people. Stupid me. I pledge to spend some time, no matter how little with God or at least, to think of God everyday. God has not forgotten me. Praise God. I want to remember this post as one of my most inspired one, I pray it will lift me up when I'm down.

Thoughts on OIAM

2006-07-22T23:14:00.000+08:00

My latest fad..like Farah and Lokman best. I thought Lokman's rendition of Drops of Jupiter was really good..liked it more than the original singer..Train? kinda weird name for a band. He's quite cute too eh?

I hope his bad song choice last week won't cost him his exit from OIAM. Why do all these good singers don't know how to pick songs? They should probably hire me to be their song-picker consultant..sheesh..

Quite a good line-up of singers vying for the 1 million..better and more consistent than Malaysian Idol.. on top of which, I can't believe Farah was from MI2-and Malaysia picked Daniel over her?!? What was the deal with that? Well, on the upside, maybe she's meant to win this..silver lining perhaps? I think Farah would have a good fan base already from MI2.. and she'll go far. Was just listening to some of her songs and performances. They are really good and her.

Not too sure whether Lokman would go far tho.. but I really like his light, pop voice! His voice is very current and fresh.. =)

But.....to be honest, I think Suki's gonna win due to the voting element. I'm just making very accurately calculated thoughts...and also from the trend where MI2 is heading...if you know what I mean. But I do like her much, much more than Daniel! She just need to step it up a little to get me falling for her as a fan..hahaha.

Will be trying to get some tickets to watch the live show =) Can't wait to know who's the deserving (I hope) champ!

Watch the knockout episode here:

More Picture Blogging

2006-06-30T00:12:00.000+08:00

Just some shots taken from our latest expedition in Genting Highlands..lol.

Tickets to Mysteria-Believe the Impossible..muahhaah...this is a musical (dance mainly) + acrobatics + magic show. Very good show...however, considering they were here since beginning of this year. Must be kinda boring performing the same show every night tho..but well done!

We went on the Flying Coaster...muahahah. New ride..replica of Corkscrew but the flying version (horizontally flying).. Shocked till no sound come out..hahaha. Quite scary leh..beginners better go practice more Corkscrew before going on this ride..lol.

Some pictures of the food we had..this is sauteed (what the?) chicken with ginger in jar rice. We got this from a chinese restaurant opposite the Caroussel. Good food and quite affordable considering the expensiveness of food in Genting.

Good ole Kenny Rogers and my favourite macaroni and cheese..

Cereal from First World Cafe.. hehe.

More breakfast shots.. yumm.

Some reknown storyteller in First World Plaza. Judging by the looks of his patrons, they seemed pretty satisfied.. unfortunately we won't know what would have been told by the storyteller had we gone for it..being card-carrying bananas.. So we went for some rip-off attractions to entertain ourselves like Haunted Adventure. Blunderous move.. lol.

On the cable car on our ride down. Only to know a couple hours later that there was some rumour that there once happened when a cable car fell and (obviously) killed some family. And...apparently Genting paid millions of ringgit for damages to the family (the living one) and in order not to publisize the matter. However, this is just a rumour. You know what they say, if your time is now, nothing can stop that right?

Tata!

All aboard? Or just plain bored? ZzzZzzz...

Me and Jo aboard the dodgy PCK Pte Ltd bus. Acually coz the bus driver has his curly hairstyle.. hmm.... must be a fan. Very dodgy I'd say after that roller-coaster-speeding-down-Brinchang, near-dropping-at-its-side-while-making-a-3-point-turn and almost-crashing-into-Kelisa-while-reversing incidents. Well at least he dares go the distance for us. lol. Both of us (i.e me and Jo of course) are from the same high school =)

I just love this picture. Everyone against the breathtaking =) Camerons backdrop. And Xandra being cheeky. As usual..

Looks familiar? It's the cast from friends! Only that this is an all-gals cast. hehe.

Can you feel the exitement? It's overwhelming.. hehe.

Last week, the Idols were singing to love songs coached by Andrea Bocelli and David Foster (i think). And the former gave such a stunning performance (picture fireworks set off during the opening ceremony of the Olympics just before an arrow was released from its bow to light up the Olympics flame.. everyone say aww...) during results night it gave me a theory, i.e a profound logic.. hehe. I was actually gritting my teeth hoping that he won't screw it up like the previous performance by Rod Stewart. Although, ironically, all the Idols performed splendidly during the Classics night which I would say is far from splendid during love songs night..

Yea, so my theory is people perform better NOT knowing they're watched i.e when the situation is.. minus the tension. Well, evidently, since Andrea Bocelli was visionally challenged, his performance was nearly flawless. And I notice that singers who are blind do perform more consistently throughout, well, my observation of them.

Hence, not knowing is better than knowing... ignorance is bliss eh?

Not entirely.

One can't plead ignorance when it comes to the law. That day I got a ticket for parking in a place that was allegedly for MPPJ staff only. And I specifically asked an MPPJ staff whether I'm allowed to park there since I didn't see a sign as I enter. And he nicely told me (in a smart alec kinda manner) that I should park there since the lower levelled parking was full. Yeah right.

Later when I went to collect my car I received a nice present slid between my windshield wiper noting that I was an offender for parking in a staff ONLY site. Was there a sign? Yes. But it was tucked inside where I only noticed AFTER searching for it AFTER getting the summon. Why can't they place one right before the entrance? I wouldn't have relied on that dumm fela's representation. Now I'll have to pay for something I didn't know I've committed.

I know that my chances are slim. I remember getting a ticket in Damansara Uptown for parking in a red zone (i.e only for seasonal parkers). I mean, come on.. why would I want to park there at 7am in the morning (as my ticket says so) where there were noone parked there and pay a whole day's fee? And the parking lot where they claimed to be a red zone was poorly marked in red.

I've also thought how dumm of me that I JUST have to go into a red marked spot where there is so many other unvacated spaces. Crap indeed.

I submitted a letter and my dad said they only gave me a normal reduction. Like everyone would get when they appeal, whether you're in the wrong or not. Come on, isn't the law supposed to be JUST and NOT a business income? People can sink so low.

I want a waiver!! I even envisioned myself tearing up the summon and throwing it in their face if they gave me that crap about "we can only give you a reduction".... I mean, ANYONE can get that! Yeah, only if I'm that brave.. soon after my vision became me being taken away (kicking and screaming.. haha) and thrown in the brig for contempt of authority. Whatever..

Injustice..

We'll see how it goes..

Yesterday, I've attended first BEC mass of the "football" season as quoted by Fr. OC. Haha. Thought it was really hilarious that Fr. OC was giving a homily on compassion... after the gospel where Jesus fed 5,000 whilst at the corner of my eye, there were 3 kids gathered (seated) right in front of the home altar where Fr O.C was, trying to squash this bug. I think they should have succeeded in squashing its guts out.. eww.. I'm sure Fr. wasn't aware of this oximoron-ic situation.. Hilarious yeah, troubling too I guess.. hmm... lol.

From a Walk to Remember

2006-04-22T00:02:00.000+08:00

Love is always patient and kind, it is never jealous
Love is never boastful or conceited
It is never rude nor selfish
It does not take offense, it is not resentful
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in the truth
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes..
~1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Somos novios
Pues los dos sentimos mutuo amor profundo
Y con eso ya ganamos lo mas grande de este mundo
Nos amamos, Nos Besamos, Como novios, Nos deseamos
Y hasta aveces, sin motivo, sin razon, nos enojamos

Somos novios
Mantenemos un cariño limpio y puro
Como todos, preocuramos el momento mas obscuro

Para hablarnos, Para Darnos el mas dulce de los besos
Recordarte que color son los cerezos
Sin hacer mas comentarios
Somos novios

3 thoughts occured in my twisted mind today (haha, finally, some brain activity!)

-Wonder what goes through another baby's mind when it sees another baby crying its lungs out. I mean..they just stare and think of what actually? Probably observing whether the parents give it the attention as anticipated by the baby race? If not, have to try another tactic? hehe.

-Wonder how is it like to be just the next car where a poor animal was just rolled over by the car just in front of you. And you will be the one to finish the poor thing off. haih..i wish i NEVER have to experience that..

-If you see a puddle of water and some helpless pedestrian was walking really fast to avoid a you-know-what consequence of some oblivious/purely idiotic drivers, what would you do? drive through that puddle and drench the poor thing? WRONG! &@*#! you see, I was that poor pedestrian. And ok, i wasn't drench...BUT that's besides the point.

God Exalted Him--based on Philippians 2:5-11

2006-04-09T21:47:00.000+08:00

He became a man
Christ became a man
And laid aside the glory He had known
To be a carpenter, a simple carpenter
A lowly servant, rejected by His own

But God exalted Him
God has uplifted Him
And has given Him a name above all names
That every knee should bow
In earth and in heav'n above
And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

He became a man
Christ became a man
Whose destiny was death upon a tree
Still He became a man
A gentle, loving man
A man of sorrow, acquainted with grief

But God exalted Him
God has uplifted Him
And has given Him a name above all names
That every knee should bow
In earth and heav'n above
And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

You're Still You

2006-04-02T23:24:00.000+08:00

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel you’re heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you
I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I’ve loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You’re still you
After all
You’re still you

You walked past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You’re still you
After all
You’re still you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through
And in this cruel and lonely world
I’ve found one love
You’re still you
After all
You’re still you

WW3--Wonderful World, the 3rd Realm. lol.

2006-03-27T22:28:00.000+08:00

Ya know, back when I was in high school, I used to follow all this irc/online-ing frenzy trends such as having a cybersis(s), where one consequentially became a petsis, before she dumped me.. heeh.. Hey, I was damm hurt man. She dumped me for a cuter gal! lol.. or prolly she can't stand me being cuter kua.. Then there was a cyberbro (who i incidentally found out to be alive and kicking on friendster) and ahem... all these ppl who send me birthday cards whom I've never met before.. and even one particular guy who I was totally crazy about.. (more in awhile).

It's actually pretty amusing when I think about it as I was relating it to a friend the other day. Years then, heh.. think was about form 3? Notti notti.... pmr year and it just had to be the year I found this new realm of reality--well anyway.. me and my friends--we were so "into" this new realm of reality as it were where it terbawak-bawak till in classroom. Chatting using papers and putting up nice chatrooms and inviting others to come and yak.. passing the papers around while the teacher is well.. ya know, teaching.

Well that aside, I even remember terikut-ikut my friends to do the YMCA anyway.. like stand up while the teacher was scribbling on the whiteboard (well, obviously with her back before us) and going on about some calculus thing or issit some e=mc2 thingy. Oopss.... wrong class. lol. Well we just stood up and just flung our hands in the air in the form of the acronym.. while the others were sniggering.. never thought I was so notti ya?

Yeah well.. back to IRC..

I met this guy in some pj school chatroom #samad. Or issit #smsj? Dunno lar... too many.. That time, I was hunting for some cute chessplayer--preferably in the national team (I know, I'm abit sad and lame).. think still am. Which explains why ppl kept coming to me sayin, you are those ppl who look really young but is actually oldddd rite.... haha. I need to grow up more. Oh, did I forget to mention? I'm abit of a chessnut back then... and I was quite coined with that nickname in highschool.... which is totally uncool when I think about it now. Blek..

Well, as I was busy scouting, I did happen to find that cute chessplayer on #samad. He's damm cute man. I can still remember when I was in this tourney. He didn't know me, then I happened to pass by--on my way back to the tourney room. Then I saw him. And he smiled. Aww... cute la that guy. Like Nick Carter look-alike (way, way, back then)...

Funnily there was this other guy who happened to message me at about the same time when I stumbled on that cute national chessplayer. And I think the only reason why he msg-ed me is becoz I was using some chessplayer nickname like kasprv or something.. guess he also looking for cute chessplayer yeah.

Anyway, from then on, he kept msg-ing me on IRC.. and I was just--oklor, layan him. At that time, he didn't interest me that much, since he doesn't play chess. So I will be waiting for the cute national chessplayer and while waiting, will chat with this guy. Funnily, he was always online. hah.. then when I always see him online and we yak-ed, I kinda.. well.. like to talk to him. He's pretty interesting and we are about the same frequency, lol. I even yak-ed more with him than the cute national chessplayer. harhar...

Then he wanted to meet me and he somehow went into #cbn and talked to a whole bunch of my friends to check me out. Well, he wanted to have breakfast. But I was on strict policy not to meet ppl whom I've met online. Plus, ya know what he told me? He told me he is very, very ugly. And his grades were pretty bad.. and that scared me a little.. hmm.. must remember.. that time my mind was 15 years old. lol. Anyway, it was also partly becoz my parents would sooo kill me.

Then one day, I got cheated, by my friends... we met up to skate, kononnye... set me up. Suddenly, he was there. Wah.... my friend told me. And I was like.. stumped. I was so stumped and embarassed of course.. that I pretend I didn't know he was there. At that time, he was ugly to me. It kinda grew into me when he represented himself as one and it kind of met the reality although that was not true of course.

He's actually really good-looking. To me, that is.. Well the best part is yet to come.

After a few months I think, I went for a chess tournament, in Sunway College. And do you know who was there? That guy. And you know what else? His name was listed as one of the top chessplayers in the country. He's a damm good national chessplayer. Which, sadly, I never noticed before. And I was like..... what?!? And all this while, I treated him like a normal person.. I even remember explaining to him something about chess. Feel damm stupid man.... And I was like... super super pissed. He totally misrepresented himself online. Never in a million years... he's in the nationals? haih....

Till today, I'm still wondering whether he was trying to be modest i.e to get me to like him for who he is or just being a plain con-artist.

Then, I can't remember what happened after that.. it kinda desolved. Together with my IRC days. But I did see him around in tournaments but I don't think he recognises me or probably he doesn't want anything to do with me. Yea well. I don't blame him.

What a ride. An ironic one

Funny how I can yak soo much online but when you meet me in person I'm a person of little words... and I just remembered... have to do up all those darn audit programs!!! argh....

Till There Was You

2006-03-25T19:41:00.000+08:00

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

I've always wondered what would have gone through someone's mind just before they commit suicide. Some choose to kill themselves in such a horrible way. Why? Living in this world must have been so unbearable that they want out.

Reasons? Debt, love, school/work pressure and grades, even.

Often, I hear people saying that those who commit suicide are cowards. I don't reckon. It takes incredible amount of courage. But I do feel awfully sad for them to have been bold enough to see it through. It must have been excruciatingly painful to continue living than the pains of killing oneself.

Would anyone in the sanest mind frame commit such an act? Do they truly know what they're about to do?

Maybe, just maybe, they've beg God to forgive them in that very moment they realize that they were going to die and it was a mistake.

Please Lord, would you have mercy on them?

This post is in memory of a friend I've lost and to all those who have taken that road less traveled.

Some Rantings

2006-03-18T23:30:00.001+08:00

There is a difference between solidarity and being lonely. One can be with everyone they cared for and still feel utterly lonely. For me there is not really a clear difference since most of the time it's fused. I wish I could be more matured and grow up!

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

So i finally went out today... out of sheer desperation. Items bought: toiletries [i'm literally out of toothpaste], a book! [gosh, that always gives me a shock since i got so many books which i've started and not finished, piled up in a box-with a lid, no doubt to make it more accessible], birthday cards, baju's, a dunkin donut [yeah, one, and it's still sitting next to me], drank a wong lou kat, had teppanyaki and burger king, all in one day.

Oh, and I even learnt how to make tong yuen's from Evelyn.

Man, I'm so efficient.

By the way, the book i bought is titled The Little Prince. I've been hearing about it recently.. think it's just calling me to buy... finally gave in today. Think it should be easy to read.. since got alot of pictures.. and nice quality paper.. hehehe.

I'm so pathetic..

Wish I have more money... to buy some clothes which are slightly over my budget.. okay, maybe not just slightly.. but twice as slightly? a half cardigan for 80 bucks and a full cardigan for 140 bucks.

I'm so pathetic...

Fashion woes as always..

Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

Old dream maker, you heartbreaker

What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off you

Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive

2006-02-27T00:52:00.000+08:00

Look at Me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty, just holding your hand.

Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near

You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty,
and too much in love.
