Importance of Being Yourself

2007-06-30T13:21:00.000+08:00

Had an interesting conversation yesterday with my colleague cum fellow informal team member ;) Though we both were cheeky on the topic *winks*, but overall it's all about the importance of being yourself and not trying hard to be someone you are not just to please others especially the opposite sex. Check out the lyrics below - The Beauty In Ugly by Jason Mraz...it's all about being yourself :)

The Beauty In Ugly
Credit (Lyrics): LyricsBox.Com

She's so bighearted,
but not so remarkable,
just an ordinary, humble girl.
Expecting nothing as we're made to think,
it's a pretty person's world.

But you are beautiful,
and you better go show it
So go look again.
you gotta be true to your own,
if you really want to go to the top,
do you really want to win?
Don't believe in leaving normal,
just to satisfy demand.

Well if you want to get free,
and if you want to do the passionate thing,
and if you want to get smart,
for the sake of your heart and all,
you should own your name, and stand up tall,
and get real,
and see the beauty in ugly.

Well you are fresh,
your face is fabulous,
don't forget you're one of a kind.
When nobody's checking the deeds you've done,
and nobody's hearing your cries.
You'll make the fashion statements,
just by dressing up your mind.

Well if you want to get free,
And if you want to do the passionate thing,
And if you want to get smart,
for the sake of your heart and all,
you should own your name, and stand up tall,
and get real,
and see the beauty in ugly,
and see the beauty in ugly.

Dunnoe why...been getting tired very easily lately...each time i reached home the bed is the one i looked for 1st...have to admit the temptation to lay or rest my head n close my eyes was so high at work that i do sucumb to it...sometimes, oops! Hmm...wonder what makes me soo tired easily...could it be due to work...?...but i'm enjoying every moment of it, so far hasn't been feeling all stressed out...tho I do felt it on several occassions but able to overcome it...could it be due to my new activity cum hobby...?...well, it does takes up my time...well, almost...three times a week and I guess I must have overdone it last week...doing it 4 times instead and now I'm paying for the price of it, ouch! Hmm...could it be due to...ageing process...?...yipes! Me no longer getting any younger, help! ;P

Anyways, received good news during class on Thursday (despite of coming 75 minutes late!)...Alhamdulillah...All Praises to the Almighty...I passed my 1st assignment for SWK3230...honestly, I expected the worst coz I didn't have much time preparing it...God is great and merciful, for giving me this opportunity to sail through this task...Nevertheless, I still have a lot to do in the 2nd assignment which is the continuation of the 1st...lots of catching up to do!...Emailed my tutor the assignment for feedbacks and comments made by the Prof, hopefully I'll be able to do much better for the 2nd part, Insya Allah....can't afford to slag and let history repeat itself, getting close to completing this degree...so close but yet still far away...*sigh*

because our love...

our love together is nothing but possible...

Monday Blues...?

2007-04-23T23:37:00.000+08:00

Monday Blues...people kept saying that...I myself never believe in it...if things are to turn out bad, it can happen on anyday anytime...people have hangovers of the weekends, that's why they have Monday Blues...

Monday Blues...hmm, have to admit, things didn't go out well today - being a Monday!...As usual, taking the train to work every morning is something I drag the most and this morning was no exceptional...all the squeezing and balancing act in an ultra-packed-to-the-brim train...it's terrible! This morning I felt as though I was in a sauna! Felt beads of perspiration flowing down my back in the packed train...the air-con was felt like neither here nor there!...Just hate it when people tried to squeeze their way in when it was very obvious that there's no space left! Argh!!!

Monday Blues...Enough said about the crazy manic morning train ride...received a not so good news in the morning just minutes I settled in office...my heart skipped a beat when I was informed of the news...though it does not affect me directly it does gave an impact of worry...why not...working with people has not always been easy, what's more with this special group of people...no doubt, people may say it's expected to happen to this particular group of people but hey, it can still be avoided and importantly, it can also happen to any Tom, Dick or Harry, not necessarily on this group of people...have to stop being judgemental about others, people! However, with all praises to Allah, it was not as serious as it was thought to be but it does leave behind scars...let this be lesson for all mankind...

Monday Blues...oh well, if things are meant to go well it'll go well or vice versa...just take everyday as a challenge and something for us to learn to be a better and stronger person...'cause all the good things comes only from the One and Almighty and the bad ones comes from our own self...

After looooooong absence I'm back! Gosh, missed posting blogs here...in fact, missed posting blog altogether! Can't be help...work & studies, but I have to say more to work that kept me away not only from blogging but from using the pc @ home altogether! So damn tired after a day's work but I guess my latest 'hobby/activity' that kept me busy! Hee! :P

Anyways, I'll try my very best to keep updating this blog and other sites of mine. This ain't a new year's resolution or anything like that 'cause I dun believe in keeping empty promises. Hey, people makes mistakes 'cause we're only human. :)

Alrightey, getting late n dun wanna be late for work, gotta get ready for a brand new week tomorrow...and yeah, an appointment to attend to after work - part of my new 'hobby/activity'! ;)

So the rest of the clan decides to come down and when there's gathering of people, there's also lots of food, so each clan brings different types of food so it has turned into a pot-luck session. Nevertheless, had a great time, fostering relationships among close and distant family members - ranging from grandmas & grandpas to grandchildren :)

Teman-temanku, lagu ini khas buat peringatan untuk kita semua, termasuk diriku ini...Hayatilah senikata lagu ini...

Dunia...
Bagai Pulau Kecil Di Tengah Lautan
Tempat Persinggahan Semua Insan
Dalam Pelayaran Arahan Tuhan

Tibalah...
Kita di Dunia Untuk Persinggahan
Hanya Seketika Peroleh Bekalan
Hingga Tiba Masa Sambung Perjalanan

Kita Insan
Dalam Pelayaran
Merempuh Lautan
Menuju ke Kebahagiaan
Jangan Lupa
Nakhoda Berpesan
Leka Kita Jangan
Masih Jauh Perjalanan...Ke Syurga

Setelah...
Tamat Tempoh Masanya Persinggahan
Semboyan Berbunyi Melaun Seruan
Teruskan Perjalanan Membawa Bekalan

Sedarlah...
Betapa Dunia Hanya Sementara
Usah Melepaskan Keredhaanya
Akhirnya Nanti Sesalan Tiada Gunanya

Kita Insan
Dalam Pelayaran
Merempuh Lautan
Menuju ke Kebahagiaan
Jangan Lupa
Nakhoda Berpesan
Leka Kita Jangan
Masih Jauh Perjalanan...Ke Syurga

Baby, U Really DRIVE Me Crazy...

2006-07-14T22:05:00.000+08:00

Everywhere I go,
No matter which part of this small sunny island,
Every nook and cranny and corner,
Be it major or minor streets,
You are there,
Not one,
Not two,
But a plenty...

Everytime I see you,
You make my heart skipped,
Not once,
Not twice,
But a plenty...

Everytime I see you,
You always make me go awe,
Not once,
Not twice,
But a plenty...

Since the very first time I saw you,
I fell in love with you at that very moment,
Though it has been years now,
You make me fall,
Fall in love with you all over again,
Not once,
Not twice,
But a plenty...

You went for makeovers over the years,
Not once,
Not twice,
But a plenty...

Yet, you still make me weak on the knees,
Especially with your 2nd latest new look,
Not once,
Not twice,
But a plenty...

Everyday I tell myself,
I want to spend our lives together in short and long journeys,
I pray to GOD to have you someday,
Not once,
Not twice,
But a plenty...

Baby,
You really DRIVE me crazy about you
Not once,
Not twice,
But a plenty...

Do I Have To Say The Words...

2006-07-08T17:43:00.000+08:00

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me - darling rescue me
With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me - darling rescue me
When this world's closing in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free - darling rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone like I'm needin' you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you how good we were together?
Do I have to say the words

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Rescue me - darlin' rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Come to me - darlin' rescue me

This One's For The Children...

2006-06-23T18:01:00.000+08:00

This is a very serious message, so all of you please listen.

There are some people living in this world
They have no food to eat
They have no place to go
But we all are God's children
We've got to learn to love one another
Just remember, they could be us
Remember, we all are brothers

I'm not trying to darken up your days
But help others in need
And show them there's a better way

This one's for the children
The children of the world
This one's for the children
May God keep them in His throne

Many people are happy
And many people are sad
Some people have many things
That others can only wish they had
So for the sake of the children
Show them love's the only way to go
'Cause they are tomorrow and people, they've got to know

I'm not trying to darken up your day
But help others in need
And show them there's a better way

This one's for the children
The children of the world
This one's for the children
May God keep them in His throne

Hectic Week...So Far...

2006-06-17T21:34:00.000+08:00

Seriously, I never really spent this so much time outside before. For the past days, I hardly spend time @ home, always out and about, never spent sooo much time like this before (excluding when I was out working and schooling), hmmm...not bad eh for someone who's unemployed...best tu best but it also means that more money spent, although I did not go on shopping spree (how I wish!), but transportation cost money too.

So what did I do for the past days? Let me give you a run down below:-

Monday

Not much, except that me and sis went to get some teaching materials @ local bookstore. Me continued with my newspaper clippings but only managed to do 3 articles as I ran out of glue and didn't buy earlier! Wasted!

Tuesday

Early in the morning I woke up and got ready for the 1st job interview of the week. The appointment's @ 10.45am but since the location is sooo much far in the eastern area od S'pore, no choice but to leave home early as I've never been there before and not sure how long the total journey may take. Initially was early but being sooo clever, I actually walked past the entrance and ended up being at the interview venue 5 mins late! Luckily, another candidate before me was still waiting to called in when I came...phew!!! The interview session didn't take too long...hmmm, maybe because there was a lot of talking so the time past by quite fast! As I left almost noon and heading back to Tampines Interchange, decided to drop by Tampines Mall to get my glue when my dearie sis msged asking whether I would like to join her @ Suntec as she had completed her work in office. So yeah, spent the rest of the afternoon out with sis getting a gift for her best friend's son's birthday.

Wednesday

Woke early again (same as Tues) for 2nd job interview which is also located in the eastern part of the island. Since today was also my Dad's birthday and taking the day off, decided to go across the causeway to celebrate. So we left early to have b'fast within the area of interview. The session took only 15 minutes! No worries, it's not a bad sign 'cause I took up the job. It's similar with what I did in my previous workplace, besides it's only for 3 hours and it's good money too for that amount of hours, heee! :P
By noon, we head over across the border and had daddy's birthday lunch. For more details, refer to my previous post :) *Ni yang buat me fed up, can't upload daddy's b'day pix...benci ah!*

Thursday

It was great!!! Why? Me and my sis brought younger cuzzins over to S'pore's only Island Resort - Sentosa! for a day of fun-filled activities under the sun! Also 2 of them does not always have the chance to go there. We had a short picnic with swimming and card games @ Silosa beach, after which we head to our 1st Imbiah Lookout - Carlsberg Tower. It was superb, great view from the top! The only setback is that it's too short - only 7 mins :( Then, we walked towards the next lookout - the Merlion. What I enjoyed most about that place is the air-conditioning, hehe! The weather was hot so it helps a lot for us :) By this time, the kiddos were already hungry so we head to the ferry terminal and had our meal @ Burger King before heading back home to mainland S'pore. Though tiring and feeling sticky, everyone enjoyed themselves very much and hope to do this again soon. Sis, if you're reading this, I'm with you with the idea of Escape Theme Park for the next outing, heee! :P

Friday

Woke up early again for the 3rd job interview. Again, the session took less than half and hour but the waiting part was long. I was slightly late due to the heavy downpour. After which, I head over to CP to get Sue's gift for this Sunday event. Didn't know what to get initially until sis came up with the idea of a vase and the first thing that strucked me was a crystal vase. Lucky for me, I was able to get one within budget and to be shared among the rest of the BSW pals....Cool! :)

Saturday

Woke up early...again! But this time to attend cousin's solemnization ceremony @ ROMM. It was a simple affair, attended by close relatives. It's a good move, especially cost effective. Although more of my other cousins didn't attend, the crowd we had was good enough. I wish my cousin and her husband happiness and may be blessed always by the Almighty, stay happy together always, yeah :)
After that, me together with my parents did something every girl enjoys most, yes it's....shopping time! :) After being locked in the imprisonment of no-shopping-due-to-extremely-low-income, finally I get to do real shopping, knowing that me will start working soon which also means constant source of income *grinzzz*. Mummy also did some shopping as well, so what did we buy? Clue: It's a must for every girl, also a passion I inherit from non-other than my dearie sis, heee! :P
Here's a sneak peak of what we bought, heee! :) *winkz*

Sunday

Who knows? Not happen yet lah...All I can give just a sneak peak of what's going to happen. Me and my BSW pals will be attending Sue's function. What's it all about, gotta check this space again soon...Heee! ;)

Happy Birthday Daddy!...

2006-06-14T19:58:00.000+08:00

Today started off great, though earlier than I usually would start my day (maklumlah, ever since being unemployed, I don't often wake up very early, except for prayers but then, would go back to sleep! hehe! :P)...Anyways...yeah, morning-morning my dad dragged the entire family all the way to the east side of S'pore for breakfast @ his favourite spot almost everyday in the mornings where he goes for b'fast before going to work....as usual, it was hard to wake up in the morning but its actually to my benefit for having breakfast there 'cause I have an interview @ 11am located within that area as well...it's for a part-time position (once a week kind of gig), job scope similar to what I had done in my previous stinking workplace (I am so mean! hehe!)...though they will be paying quite good amount for part-time positon (1/week, 3 hours) but that's not the reason why I wanted to take it up, its more on filling up my time with more useful stuffs that will come in handy in my future job searching (resume will also look nicer, hehe!)...So the outcome? I got the job lah...'cause I was the only candididate, hehe! Actually, I have my BSW pal, Su to thank for in attaining this job...'cause she was the one who recommended...Thanks very very very much, gal! Hmmm....looks like I have to pay you back by buying an expensive engagement gift, eh? ;)

Today is also a special day 'cause it's my daddy's birthday! WooHoo! Ermm...btw, how old are you today, daddy? ;P (Anak bertuah betul, sampaikan own father's age pun dunnoe ah?!) To celebrate, all four of us headed to JB after my interview and had lunch @ Hyatt Regency Hotel...well, special occassion must eat @ special place, right?...It was great, though we didn't eat much 'cept for lots of fruits and deserts (due to the ultra-heavy breakfast we had earlier!)...Worth it ah to spend across the causeway, all thanks to the currency rates, hehe! Oh yeah, this year is a twin gift year for daddy 'cause what we had the same idea as daddy's company in terms of his birthday present this year - a wallet, 'cept that according to daddy ours suits him better 'cause the one given by his company is a bit too big for him to put it inside his pocket...so what does it mean? It means that family knows best! Hehe! :)

After lunch, we head down to Larkin Bus Terminal to tailor-make our Hari Raya 2006 clothes, of course, since we were there, me pun take the opportunity to go (while mummy and sis busy shopping for tudungs) and buy my all-time favourite which it is impossible to find it back here in Lion City 'cause already extinct - DUNKIN' DONUTS!!!! Sighz...looks like there will be gaining extras of weight in me, eh? Hehe! Nevertheless, I'll enjoy the moment of eating the donuts while I can...of course, I will share it around, silly :) So now, feeling very the tired with legs still sore from yesterday's walking around from Changi to Suntec with high heels, gotta go prepare the things for tomorrow...'cause it's going to be a fun-filled day out in a small island! To find out more, keep checking out this space, yeah? :)

Cool Rainy Sunday

2006-06-11T22:05:00.000+08:00

What a day today....was such a nice day to just do absolutely..........nothing! Hehe! Today was such a nice cool day, with rain pouring down non-stop from noon until late evening...No thunder and lightning...is the best type of heavy downpour that I like....it makes one really extremely lazy to do things....wanted to continue with my newspaper clippings but nevertheless the weather told me not to....yeah, go ahead gal, blame it on the weather! Hehee! ;P But seriously, it was a great cool lazy day....oh yeah, just wet....wet...wet....and more wet...

To make a nice cooling day works better, Mum cooked Fried Black Sauce Bee Hoon and the taste was...hot hoT hOT HOT!!!! Well, the main ingredient was chilli padi, of course...that's why! Oh yeah, usually weather like this often makes one goes hungry all the time...and guess what? We had hot-piping prawn jemput-jemput for late afternoon tea...well, there goes my dinner!

Anyways, I had quite a blast yesterday evening. Met up with some of my classmates (not many turned up...busy lah, meeting friends las...blah, blah, blah...but kudos for those who took the time to come down, thank you very much! *muacks!*) back from secondary school for a reunion dinner @ Plaza S'pura. Supposed to have dinner @ Pizza Hut, but waddya know? They suck, suck BIG TIME!!!
Knowing that it's gonna be a group of more than 5 people and it's a Saturday, I called earlier to make reservations but was informed by the staff there that they don't take reservations...ok fine...so later in the evening met my friends went over to Pizza Hut and asked for a table for 9 people...they responded that they need the time to make the necessary arrangements as the available tables are spread out and have to re-arrange within an area, hence they said they will give me a call once ready...Ok, so me and my friends hand around within that area while waiting for their call...half an hour passed still no call so we my and one of my guy friends decided to go over and find out the status and when there we saw they were busy preparing a stretch of tables, thus thinking it's going to be for us, we just wait by side until they inform us to go in but guess what?...it was meant for another group of 12 people, whom I strongly believe came after us when asking for tables...ok fine, hoping that they already come up with something, my friend asked them and dengan selambanya they answer - "I'm sorry sir but we have not done anything about it yet. 'cause we could get the tables." OMG...felt as though someone just pulled my heart out and messily placed it back inside!!! My gal friend also came over and expressed her unhappiness...not only did they do nothing about it but they kept letting people in the entire half an hour of waiting (and still is when we left!), I mean, how do you expect to have the tables available and do something when you just kept lettinfg people in?! Fed up betul!
In the end, we decided to go upstairs to Swensens for dinner...although we couldn't get the tables straightaway, but they did look into it and we had our tables within just 10 minutes! Sigh....it wasn't a nice dinner to start with but in the end, we had fun and enjoyed each other's company and yeah, catch up on things with each other...Guys & Gals, although last night was just a small group of us, I enjoyed the time and cherished the more than 10 years of friendship we have built.....looking forward to the next reunion and hopefully it'll be more of us! Kudos all! :)

Forbidden

Forbidden Pleasures

Who Makes The Rules

Unfound Treasures

And Beautiful Jewels

Can That Line Be Crossed

What Could We Truly Be

And At What Cost

Do You See What I See

I Know There Is More There

Waiting To Be Found

Can You Feel How Much I Care

I Feel Like I'm Being Drowned

If You Knew The Amount Of Desire

That I Feel For You

My Burning Fire

That Wants One To Become Two

Forbidden Pleasures

Who Makes The Rules

Unfound Treasures

And Beautiful Jewels

Another Day in Paradise...

2006-05-22T23:13:00.000+08:00

She calls out to the man on the street

"Sir, can you help me?

It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,

Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back

He pretends he can't hear her

Starts to whistle as he crosses the street

Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for

You and me in paradise

Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,

You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street

He can see she's been crying

She's got blisters on the soles of her feet

Can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice...

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do

Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face

You can see that she's been there

Probably been moved on from every place

'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice...

Mother's Day 2006

2006-05-14T22:33:00.000+08:00

As everyone knows that today is the day whereby absolutely almost everyone in this world celebrate a day dedicated specially for one special person in our lives...Your guess is as good as mine...Yes, today - 2nd Sunday of the month of May, is the day whereby we reflect on the deeds and sacrfices made by the leading lady of the household - Mother's Day.

To all the mothers, regardless of age and wherever you are, I wish you all, especially to my dearest Mummy whom we affectionately called 'Mama', a wonderful and blissful Mother's Day. Let us not celebrate and appreciate for what our mothers had done for us only on this special day. In fact, everyday can be Mother's Day. Don't wait for a special day or timing to be gratitude and appreciate what your mother had done...'cause you will never know when you will the chance to do so, anything can happen.

Mama...no words can describe how thankful I am to have a mother like you...Your sacrfices seems endless...even when we are now old enough to support ourselves, you continuously sacrifice for us, especially in providing the best for us and not forgetting in wanting us to be a successful human being...I'm grateful for having the constant support, love and especially guidance from you...no money in this world and hereafter can ever replaced what you have done for us for our family...you are my enemy and you are my friend...the bestest friend that I could ever have and will ever have...the good times we had together will never be forgotten...the bad times will always be a constant reminder in learning from our mistakes and to be more appreciative of you...Mama, you have done soo much for this family and it goes all the way back even before we were born...only Allah can ever repay qhat you have done to us, our family...from deep bottom of my heart...I thank you and hope to be able to cherish you as long as you and I live, Insya Allah.

Yesterday...at the end of the day, I felt some sense of satisfaction...not much, just little but it sure impact me and made by day...made me felt high for awhile...what did I do?...well, something I had to take up a lot of courage in doing...I would never thought that I was able to do it...but I did...though my heart was beating almost as fast as the bullet train...but all's well, ends well :)

You...thank you for giving me the opportunity to know you slightly better...even though it may not be much, but I'm grateful for that...to have your voice through me...even though there's a barrier between us...is indeed Priceless...I hope we can take this a step further...taking me for what God had created of me...for you being you...in building a friendship...you...looking forward to know you much better...and hopefully you too would want to know me as much...'cause it takes two hands to clap...takes two to tango...as nature would say...to you...I thank you...again.

Alas!
Me finally completed one assignment and it was safely submitted this morning, thus, its back to leisure time, WooHoo!!!! And what better way to enjoy it but by spending almost d entire day out with my gal pals from Uni -watching movies, shopping, dinner and waddya know, shopping again! before heading to class.

Ahh...it was great feeling dat way, hadn't really njoyed dat kind of feeling for quite a long time :) It's still not over though...still have 3 more assignments to go (darn!), due end of nx month...so me have exactly a month to do all d 3...hmmm, sufficient time 2 do research...but anyways, lemme njoy dis moment while me can, yeah! ;)

We watched "Take The Lead", a good aspiring movie, based on a true inspiring story. The movie was entertaining and the dance moves were slick...but importantly, I like d moral of d story - its all about chances, choices and empowerment...Can't wait for the release of DVD, hehe! :)

You...

2006-04-23T18:37:00.000+08:00

Hey you...dreamt of you last night...was i thinking of you the day before?...hmmm...yes, and I don't deny that...well, not the whole day...certain parts of d day...in fact, I kept thinking of you for d past days and it's turning into weeks, but y? That's kept me wondering....what is it about you that makes me keep thinking of you...? Was it your hush presence...your profound thoughts on things...or your presence in general n eye contact that makes my heart skipped a beat...or perhaps I'm simply insane about this whole thing...Whenever had d opportunity, I looked 4ward to that, simply so dat I'm able to see you...even in d dream it was d sweetest things dat I said about you to people...but you...you remained tight-lipped...looking ever gorgeous n cool, a thing that you are good at...not saying a word...and yet, you kept your distance from me...y?

Sadly...I do not have d opportunity to get to know you much better...other than what others told me about you...and those you told me personally...which was short-lived...guess, I have myself to blame for that...I dunnoe...but I felt guilty for making that opportunity short-lived and I regret it totally...please forgive me if I have offended you one way or another...as a human I tend to make mistakes in life...but that does not mean that I'm using that as an excuse for myself...I know I'm not as smart as I'm being perceived...definitely can't match with intelligence like yours...does not carry the beauty expectations that is required of my species...overall, I'm not perfec..you see...I have my own flaws...have my fair share of good and bad times...but I'm just being myself...what GOD has created of me...is it wrong?

You...I'm not asking for the impossibilities in life...what's the point of having everything except for one thing that most people have the difficulty in achieving...you, for just being you...perhaps that's the reason why I'm drawn to you...I have nothing to prove and so does you...only sincerety and honesty...from deep wtihin you...you have your own reasons and I respect that...but I can't lie to myself...our paths crossed but will it stay like this always...I dunnoe...neither you nor myself will ever know...no one else will be able to know...except for GOD...but d least we can do is try...there's no harm trying...dats how I see things...and hope you see it too...for you...being just you...will you?

Sighz...just completed one assignment and have to start another one oredi...aiyeeeee!!!!! I need a break man, sheesh! Tot dat I stopped work, I could have some time for myself, catching up in doing things that I have been wanting to do but kept putting it aside, but nooooooo...it's time to focus on doing assignments...soooo tired...*YAWN!*

Due on Monday, juz can't wait for this assignment 2 b over, @ least there's quite a break 'till d nx assignment due and also mainly b'cause...goin 2 chill with my uni gal pals on Tuesday, doing things we don't usually have d chance 2 do together...WooHoo! So looking 4ward 2 dat! Hehe! :P

Spent my late afternoon, sitting comfortably within the premise of my favourite coffee house, doin my asssignment and the ambience there helps me a lot with my thinking process in completing this paper. Actually I was more distracted with one of my pastime (and still is!) activity, that is, people watching. Don't ask me why but I just luuuuuurve to watch people, especially today's afternoon with many people walking past by and get to see whether they are good-looking or not (hehe!), d styles they choose n their karenah/perangai (behaviour) when outside…coz some ple reacts n behaves differently when in different environment settings….best gitu…hehe! Apa taknya, I was sitting in front with my notebook facing d outside of the coffee house to the main road and walking area, with my favourite ice mocha and iPod that kept me company...But one thing I don like d position where I was is d smoke…yeah I was sitting @ d non-air-conditioned section ‘cause when I first came inside was filled with people (tulah, take my own sweet time lagi to come down!)

To be honest, my mind and brain functions better in doing assignments when I’m outside all by myself…no distractions, except for watching people walking by (I believe I saw Vincent Ng…hmmm, juz saw Jacintha a few minutes before walked by and almost made a trip in d house). Guess, the ambience of the place is important and perhaps the attention you get by people especially when they see you sitting in a coffee house with a notebook looking studious, hehe! :P Though I did not get to complete my assignment which is kind of impossible (2250 words!) 'cause I just started doing it but the truth fact was that battery needed to be resuscitate and also not wanting 2 b late 4 class, I enjoyed my afternoon alone surrounded with complete strangers and can't wait to do it again soon..hmm, wonder I can do it this Sunday, but it's gonna filled with people again...we'll see how eh... :)

Di Pintu Syurga...

2006-04-21T00:09:00.000+08:00

Sekukuh... sekukuh mana ikrar kasih kita
Setebal mana masih ada sempadannya
Akan tiba nanti... harus ditempuhi
Apa daya kita melawan masa

Takdirnya... takdirnya dunia hanya sementara
Walau begitu cinta suci 'tuk selamanya
Ini realiti... hilang tak terganti
Namun ku tahu aku akhirnya kembali bersatu

Andai daku pergi sebelummu
Kenangkanlah ku selalu didalam doamu
Kaulah cinta pertama dan terakhir untuku
Ku berjanji kan menantimu
Setia menunggu di pintu syurga

Di sana... di sana menanti gemilang cinta
Jadi lenyapkanlah titisan airmata
Tabahkanlah hati... mengharungi hari
Abadikanlah saat indah...
kita kan tetap bersama

Kan lebih baik dalam Syurga daripada kat pintu aje...? :) Haiz, dgrkan lagu nie byk kenangan...lucu pulak tu, hehe! :)

20th April 2006

2006-04-20T23:53:00.000+08:00

The day has come and within minutes, it'll go just like any other ordinary days.

It's official, it has been 4 years since and everything seems as per normal, no much changes occured. Time makes us wiser, other than making us realise how old we are getting, every second every minute every hour every day.

Self-reflections helps me realise how lucky I am to be where I am now, though i too faces my fair share of ups and downs in life...And I do hope it helps me become wiser each day, Insya Allah.

Though you may no longer exist in this world, your words of wisdom will always remain in my heart and mind. Everyday, I'm thankful to Allah s.w.t. for knowing you and I thank you for allowing me to be part of your life, even it was just temporary. To find a replacement just like you, will not be easy. Insya Allah, with God's will, I hope to find one, someday...

20th April...it'll b a day's time til this date arrives, but y is it so significant to me? I've mixed feelings - should I be glad that it's no longer taking place and moving on with my life...or should I be sad, sad that its no longer around, no looking forward to it anymore, that it's gone & will never ever comes back?

Come this date, it'll be 4 years since, 4 years man, no joke...many things could have happened during these 4 years, and who could imagine that it could've changed my life totally, to change until perhaps I'm still here where I am now or who knows elsewhere on this earth or even not?!

Sounds confusing?...Yeah, me felt that too...for d past 4 years, day in day out just thinking about this...will I ever find the closure? Perhaps, maybe not now or even tomorrow, only GOD knows when... guess d bez thing now is juz leave it to GOD 'cause Allah does work wonders, SubhanAllah, and I trust that with all my heart, Insya Allah.

We'll see how my mood will b like tomorrow. In d meantime, back to slogging myself out in completing my assignment which's due latest by 10am on 20th April (well, that's d ultimatum dateline given or else pay up $30.50 as late submission penalty fee!).

Though I may have left dat place, however, my heart still there 'cause my heart goes to my fellow men who are left behind, still having to put up with the nonsense that are totally unnecessary for you guys there, only to further drain more blood n energy out of you...Thus, I'm dedicating this song for you guys...well, not xactly 2 soothe u, but more 2 xpressing what u guys r feeling...hey, been there felt that before!

No matter what happens, just be yourself 'cause you're unique n there's no doubt abt...Remember, persevereance and faith are the keys to success...just like big bro says, "Work Smart, Not Hard" 'cause if you work hard there, it's useless but if you work smart, it's Priceless.

Break Me Shake Me

I never thought Id change my opinion again
But you moved me in a way that Ive
Never known
You moved me in a way that Ive
Never known
But straight away you just moved
Into position again
You abused me in a way that Ive
Never known
You abused me in a way that Ive
Never known

Chorus
So break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
So you r the kind who deals with the
Games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that
Ive never known
You confuse me in a way that Ive
Never known

Chorus

She says I can help you but what
Do you say
But its not free baby youll have
To pay
You just keep me contemplating that
Your soul is slowly fading
God dont you know that I live with a ton
Of regret cause I used to move you in a way that
Youve never known
But then I accused you in a way that
Youve never known
But you hurt me in a way that Ive
Never known
Break me shake me hate me take
Me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
So wont you break me shake me
Hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
Listen baby
Youll be youll be alone

Break me shake me hate me take
Me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate
Me take me
Break me

Froggy Story

2006-04-08T12:28:00.000+08:00

Dear Bloggers,

I apologise for not updating my site regularly...tot dat now I'm unemployed I have d time to do, but sadly, my assignments caught up with me just as I step into unemployment hood...sighz...wat 2 do 4 d sake of my future, sacrifice has 2 made, babe! Anyways, side-tracking frm doing my assignments 4 a while (having writer's block 4 my literature review - 15 references, no joke man!), tot I relax my mind n update my blog (mummie don worrie, I'll still finish my assignments, heee!). Me putting in a story about some group of frogs (not sure wat's d collective term for them, just shooting here!) sent to me by one of my kakis @ my previous wkplc (tks Mummie Meow!). Ok, to b honest, I really really really really really don't like frogs, slimy and scary (yucks!) but will only hurt them when it threatens me. Anyways, back to the story, it's an inspiring one, a source of motivation I must say. Alrighty, let's waste no time n lemme share with u guys n gals out there d story. Here goes...

FROGS

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs ....
who arranged a running competition.
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....
The race began....
Honestly: No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."
or:
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The tiny frogs began collapsing.
One by one....
Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....
The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....
This one wouldn't give up!
At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out....
That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic....because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!
Always think of the power words have.
Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!
Therefore: ALWAYS be....POSITIVE!
And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!
Always think:
God and I can do this!

Hope u guys n gals njoy d story, I bet some of u muz hav read dis b4 but its ok, once a while we need d reminders to motivate ourselves...Anyways, me have 2 get back 2 my assignment or else when will I ever get 2 finish it...can't wait 2 get all these over with, aaarrgghhh!!!!!

Til my nx post, Cheerios! :o)

2006-04-03T15:27:00.000+08:00

YES!

The day I've been waiting for has finally arrived...and passed actually, hehe! What's so special about this day??? The moment I stepped out from the office on 31st March 2006 @ 6.30pm, the air of freedom filled my lungs....aaahhhh...freedom at last! For those who still does not get the clue, last Friday 31st March 2006 marks the last day of me working at my now called previous workplace. After almost 2 years of going through some form of hell-on-earth by the you-know-whos but not forgetting the experiences and skills gained and the unforgettable memories I had with d kakis while there, d time has finally come 2 say...goodbyes to d people I cherished d most while there *sobs!* and to keep in touch always and...GOOD RIDDANCE to d BLOOD SUCKERS there!! *WooHoo!*

Nevertheless, to all d good and bad ones there, I wish you lot all d very best in your future undertakings...No worries, we'll see each other again 'coz dis industry is a small world ...provided u lots and myself will still b in this industry though!

I apologised for the past mistakes I made coz hey, I'm a human and human makes mistakes coz no human being is perfect...unless u think otherwise dat u're perfect....hmmm, then there's absolutely something's wrong with ya...better c a speciallist before it's too late, yeah?

Colleagues

2006-03-19T23:30:00.000+08:00

"Colleagues are those explicitly united in a common purpose and respecting each other's abilities to work toward that purpose...Sometimes colleague is taken to mean a fellow member of the same profession..." ~ Source: Wikipedia.Org

Time passes by very fast...been almost to years being part of your lives and I'm very thankful everyday for the great times we shared together...the laughters, sadness, worries, chaos...no words could better describe my feelings for the experiences of knowing these great people, whom have made a significant point in my life so far...will never forget the sweet & also the sour memories together...the bad incidents are lessons to be learnt and the good times are the postcards & stamps in my history and nothing can change that...someone told me this & I quote:

"Dear girl, we are temporary. You have can create this (happiness) anywhere you go. Enjoy what you have now and bring it with you wherever you go. You will never miss laughter when you are so full of it." (Princess Dahlia)

Yes, I agree with her. I experienced the exact sadness when I left my 1st workplace before I started here. People comes n goes in our life, it is up to us whether we want to keep this people in our lives and like them for who they are or just let them pass by...its a choice that we make, everyday.

I wish those leaving or have left all the very best in whatever you do, especially in things that brings u joy & satisfaction. For those still around, I too wish you all the very best in whatever you do...however, should the calling comes, heed it with an open heart & mind and it it will lead the way for you. No matter what, hope we keep in touch, always because this relationship that we have built is Priceless.

Life without problems is not life because nothing is perfect in the reality world of life. Perserverence & faith are the keys to success.

Until my next post, take care and May God bless one & all.
Cheerios! :o)

It's been 2 long...

2006-03-13T22:52:00.000+08:00

Yes, it's been too long for me to bear them...and finally, I'm free!! Erm...well...not xactly though, it'll only b official on 31st March 2006, till then just take things s it is, no problemo...

BEFORE (01.06.04 - 28.02.06):

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless lost under the surface

Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I've become so tired so much more aware

I'm becoming this all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me

Holding too tightly afraid to lose control

Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus]

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I've become so tired so much more aware

I'm becoming this all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know

Imay end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

[Chorus]

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I've become so tired so much more aware

I'm becoming this all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chorus]

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
