I always have weird dreams. Awfully weird dreams. I always dream of still being in Uni. I have repeatedly dream of being in school. It seems that I never grow out of it.

When I was younger, I usually dream of being left behind, especially when I was about to travel or camp. I will be dreaming that I have not finished packing and the bus just left me, in front of my eyes with my things scattered around me. Everything was there, each one of it. It's just was not packed into the bag.

In university, I always dream of not attending examinations (it's not a secret that I ...err.. don't really mind ditching classes). I woke up having panic attacks and being paranoid of forgetting to set the right time. Silly silly me. But it was really traumatic. I end up dreaming the guards lectured me into tears for coming an hour late, the lecturer letting me in with me not having pens and all.

There were times when I dreamt of reading the slides in my sleep. Some of them are really notes that I read before sleeping and some are crap. And now that I'm working, I dreamt of having to extend my studies because of so many reasons like I forgot to take this course, I didn't take this exam and one time, I dreamt of being barred. I always made sure I attend 75% of the classes. I have to admit that I'm no angel.

I don't dream about my current work. I dreamt of being scold by my previous employer, being late in my previous job but never recent. And I remembered this story of me dating Jared Padalecki. I almost don't want to wake up.

Silly me.

Sometimes, my dreams are so vivid, I practically can remember everything. I still remember a dream I had in 2006, before I went for practical. Someone came to our home, to take me as a wife. I don't know him, I can't remember his name but I definitely can remember his features. He drove a grey Kelisa, have quite fair skin, not big built and have short straight hair. But the dream was just a dream,despite of it being extremely vivid. Did I mentioned he was an engineer? Ha ha

Dreams don't come true but I believe ambitions do. I take dreams as a mere entertainment, even as a warning (more than 6 years ago, I dreamt of being pregnant with a child outside of wedlock. Yikes!). But I'm yet to get inspiration from dreams.

It's late and I have to go. To get ready to bed, waiting for the next dream to come.

Day by day
I stood by my place
Looking at you
Entering, nearly invading my personal space.

Those puppy eyes
Charismatic posture
And professional smile.

How I long for you to look my way
Not to talk about toasts, coffees and cakes
But to create small talks
To ask me if 'Everything's ok?'

How I long to talk to you about your day
Not the weather today
Or the one for tomorrow.

How I long for you to call me
Not to place another order or ask for some sugar
But to look into my eyes and talk about many nothings
Nothing important whatsoever.

But the fact stays
I am just the waitress
No; I'm your waitress.

I can recall your favorite food in my sleep
How you liked your coffee
Even how your eyes crinkled
I bet you don't have a clue.

We exchanged glances
Hellos and bye-byes
Not numbers, addresses
I don't even have to ask why.

Special as it may
I'm just the one bringing you coffees and delicacies
Your waitress who really misses you
And waiting for a miracle
For you to look her way
In a totally different light.

I nearly forgot the buffet today but managed to get just the right attire to 'fill the stomach to the capacity'. Unfortunately, I was only able to eat just a small portion of the food. I mean, compared to other people. Luckily I chose all the expensive ones. That's the whole point of going to buffets right?

No rice or kuey teow, I just go for things I usually don't get on a daily basis. So, it was all stuffing squid, prawns and all sort of things into the mouth. No beef because then I will have indigestion problem.

But I polished three bowls of ice-cream, my happiness. But still, there's an empty space somewhere near the heart. Maybe it's just a passing phase. Hate, hateful

I was flabbergasted when somebody said 'Let's watch House Bunny.' OK, so I judged a book by it's cover.

I totally hate the first 30 minutes; I just hate a character portrayed to be so bimbo. But still, as I paid for the ticket, all I can do is to just watch it.

Shelley was an orphan and she lived in the Bunny mansion. She was kicked out of the mansion on her 27th birthday, due to jealousy. Without the owner's knowledge, she ventured out of the mansion, trying to find and build her new life.

She landed into a sorority house, Zeta and turned the girls' life around. Here again, we can see that popular means power. And Zeta tried to fight for their house with Shelley's help.

Although she was a Playboy Bunny, one can say that she is not all glitter but she also had brains. Soon, she changed Zeta from zero to popular. And she found herself in love with a guy who:
-doesn't mind girls with brains
-doesn't mind unpopular girls

All her life, all that Shelley knows was guys love grils with beauty nil brains. She played all the rules in the book of being hard-to-get, even saying "I'm late for another date", which led to disaster.

Then, she turned to be a guy most alert of international news, talking about South Korea and stuff. She even wore a thick pair of glasses to impress the guy but to no avail.

She felt that she have failed miserably and received a phone call from Hef, the mansion's owner.

And she was put into a dilemma again.

It is kind of funny actually. And I realize now that no matter although the person appears to be a bimbo, it doesn't mean that they are dumb. There's something beneath the whole shine and style. There's intelligence yet to be discovered.

On a different note:

Felt serene and happy with the decision I made and I guess that what my friend said was true. You need to rest to prevent being burnt out. Enjoy what you do and when you feel burdened. Take a step back and relax. I'm taking a step back and relax. I'm planning for a trip (which I know will not happen until early 2009. musim hujan) and also looking for places to study language. Still can't decide what to learn and just hope that my brain is not rusty yet or I'll end up paying for things that I won't benefit from.

So, I'm basically looking forward for what is there to come. I had my plans worked out and will so hope I will be able to achieve it. Ameen

if there's one thing that I should realize by now is the fact that not everything is within my reach. There's a limit to everything and certainly wanting to commit to everything is not the right thing.

I'm releasing some of my responsibilities in Kapasitor. I have to, seriously. I kow that it will be much burden for me and I just want to take a break, before I reach my breaking point. No not going insane or anything. I'm just worried of being too tired. I wish to be focused on the website (although I still haven't gotten the chance), not really on the management or anything.

Let's just see if the coming months will see me in a better position. I'm going to go for my dreams this time and seriously will be thinking to go for a holiday or something of the sort.

It's Saturday. I should be watching TV. And I just got Shrek, the complete collection. yey!

Let me bore you with the definition for recession. It defines as the slowing economy, which is particularly significant in terms of employment, GDP, wholesale-retail sales and real income, for several months. For your information, Singapore's GDP has declined for several quarters; hence it slipped into recession. Malaysia, however, has not gotten into it but let's not be to sunny and positive: it's a global thingy and no one can be sure it is going to be safe. How's that for reality check huh?

Talking to a colleague, it seems that we are still not experiencing recession so this is the best time to start investing in foreign currency and of course, gold. It may or may not be very rewrading but that is exactly the thing with investing, it's pretty unsure stuff. We can never pinpoint how much Australian dollar (AUD) is going to increase in say two-years time or is US dollar going to gain its strength.

If you are planning to go to South Korea in say 2 years time, it may be a good choice to start saving in Dong. Same goes with AUD, it went to a record high some time ago butit is looking pretty cheap these days (approximately 2.4). Those with more money will try to go for USD and of course, nobody can say it is going to be the best choice. That is the thing with investment, many people will speculate but will it happen? Who knows?

Then again, it is the best time to invest. Especially those with extra money and intend to do so and has been eyeing the market.

It is going to be a difficult time, God knows whether we will experience it and how long it will happen (The longest ever recession in the 20th century was from August 1929 - September 1939, known as the Great Depression). The best thing to do is to try to save as much as possible, be it in your bank, cutting the times you spent in the posh outlets, having fast food or whatever. Saving your change is a start, seriously.

Speaking from experience, it is actually good and beneficial to just dump your lose change in your tabung. You will be surprised how much you can save through this one tiny little act. It may be a big chore at first but as time goes, it will be an obligation. Try it and you may even move to committing the usual '10%-of-the-salary-fgoes-into-savings' rule. It only needs a start and seriously, it's never too late to start or too soon.

Just that, one has to look at investment in the long run rather than as a short-term thingy. Patience and perseverence is the key. Look out from who you ask the advise from and any decisions that you make, is entirely your responsibility.

It's 10.30 pm, on a Saturday night, Syawal. You were sitting at home indulging on the TV shows that you missed while going beraya/ had to see those coming to your house. Your brother/ father/ mother/ auntie/ uncle were out, living you with a 13-year old kid at home. He was hooked on the computer and you were watching Tv with a whole plate of kerepek. Suddenly, the lights went off. So does the computer, fridge, fan and every electrical item. What would you do?

1. Instantly get on the phone while lighting the candles?
2. Go to the neighbour's house and ask for candles?
3. Go to the neighbour's house and beraya?
4. Scream for the kid and start asking him to fan you (Panas wo!)
5. Get creative and start lighting candles like you are in some sort of a castle?
4. Play with the shadows?
5. Play with the candles?
6. Decided that you need a haircut and trim your hair?
7. Take a bath again, as a precaution as you won't know how long the blackout will last and you don't want to be feeling hot?
8. Don't care for the world and sleep? (kes kulit biawak, tak lut gigitan nyamuk)
9. Curse a bit and call TNB?
10. Curse a bit and curse the other people who didn't report to TNB?
11. Get your mum's telekung. Lock the door, invite the kid for a prank to the girls in your neighbourhood?
12. Cry your heart out because you'll be facing an examination on Monday ? (Good luck to those taking the exams!)
13. Force yourself to read the book using candles?
14. Call McDonalds and decide today is the perfect day to have a picnic at night. Giving the literal mining to 'eating out'?
15. Start gathering your friends and unveil ghost-story telling night?
16. Flag a taxi and flee somewhere else? (and risked being skinned alive for leaving the home at times like that)

I am curious to know.

On a second note, Mum laughed her heart out when I told her I started planting cili padi. It was my cousin's and my project. I need to do something and waiting for a decision to make is just so killing me. So, I decided to try and see if I got green hands. Having my own garden will be great huh? But right now, I want to try vegetables. See if I can upgrade it to tanaman hidroponik.

The result can be seen in 10-15 days. Let's just hope the bloody kitten that is so naughty he created a mess in the kitchen when it played with the kuih bahulu will not be jumping up and down on the soil.

Have a nice day. I'm going to take a nap.

Do you:
1. run after the buses every single day?
2. window shop at least 30 minutes three times a week?
3. brisk walking 3 times a week, an hour per session?
4. walking fast from point A to point B daily?
5. get off one station to walk 15 minutes to your destination?
6. get on a 1 mile per hour treadmill at work?
5. make sure to go to the toilet the other floors instead of your own?
6. spend a few minutes daily to follow the one you admire (stalk someone)?
7. pace up and down the workplace while talking on the phone to ensure blood circulation?
8. cycle to work or to the nearest LRT station?
9. chase after your cats?
10. do pilates, yoga, dances or tai-chi at the comfort of your own home?
11. dance?
12. do just senaman mulut?
13. enrol at martial art classes?
14. do senaman kuak lentang at any given opportunity?
15. make sure that you allocate a specific time every week for exercising like walking, gardening, swimming, playing tennis etc
16. "Exercise? Is that a new brand of shoes?"

So, what do you guys do? I'm just curious, especially for those working because usually there's no time to exercise. And also looking for options to work out. I think it's to dangerous to spend an hour strolling near my place. Exclude gym membership, please. Singapore has just gotten into recession and it is considered as the one economy in Asia-Pacific to be safe from global economic crisis. It shows that we have to be extremely cautious.

I always believe that there will be no big enough room that can fit two egos. It doesn't matter how big or small. And I for one knows that yes, I unfortunately fall into the category of having a big ego. It's not like I feel superior to anything or anyone but I believe that we have to stand up for what we belief in or we will be nothing. We have nothing without our beliefs.

My friend and I, we call ourselves arrogant people. In a joking way of course but we do know that we are arrogant. To a certain extent.

I don't see ego as a bad or good thing. For me, ego is just there to be used either for your own benefit or other people. It's important to put our ego upfront when we attend interviews, participate in a competition or even posting anything on kapasitor. Be ready to be condemned or complimented, receive opposing views or giving a few free lectures. Without ego, I think no one will be able to win anything or achieve anything. Of course, that coming from a Leo will sound ARROGANT.

And ego making someone as a not suitable partner? Well, I believe it to boil down to tolerance. God do not just create us to live with ourselves. To mingle with people, making friends and to socialize require a certain skill called tolerance. There are ways to handle people and the most easiest will be applying the ying and yang concept. Put out fire with water, not with a bigger fire. To tackle someone with a big ego, ask probing questions, which will make them think. I'm talking from experiences when friends confront me using questions. When I was angry.

I just so happen to be thinking about this thing after talking with a friend. Apparently, I'm the type of person who needs to be a leader constantly (is it wrong to know what I want?), have jumbo-sized ego (is it wrong to know you have certain abilities?). It's just that sometimes when I go forward saying suggestions and pointing to places where I want to go, people don't say anything after I asked them questions. You know, I ask questions to receive answers, not 'up to you'.

I seriously cannot do anything about it, I'm just being me. I just want to hold on to my opinion and please do clarify anything if you think what I believe in is wrong. I'm open to discussions but I won't hesitate to ask questions if the arguments are not strong.

But just so you know, I'm willing to learn new things, have healthy discussions. Just don't stop talking to me just because of my ego. It's not that I don't know the word tolerance. I honestly do.

To the friend, thank you for being frank with me. Nothing beats honesty.

I officialy hate cats, all kinds. I used to hate cats and love kittens but 'that ship has sailed'. I'm now officialy the one in charge to buy cat's food. Grandma will sometimes scream just before I put on my shoes to work.

'Don't forget to buy the cat's food. They finished it.' Darn. Do I look like I have nothing else important to do? Like I care if they have to starve. Actually, I kind of do. Then, they will run amok in the house. More trouble.

Honestly, they use to eat rice with kepala ikan bilis. They use to scramble for chicken meat (the ones we can't finish). What happened now? They refuse to eat anything else except real cat food. There's not one but around three of them. I just feel like putting them in a sack and throw them away.

But that's the thing. They are cute and people seem to be unable to throw them away on the basis that 'they are toilet-trained'. Hello...am I not toilet-trained?

I know. I complaint a lot. But I really hate the idea of rushing from the office to the store just so I won't miss the bloody bus-yang-tak-rapid-langsung-tu. Then having to queue for about 10 minutes to pay for the food which by the way, cause nearly RM20. Yeah yeah, I'm Haji Bakhil.

Don't get me wrong. I'm ok if the cat does not belong to us or doesn't live with us. It's just that taking care of them, buying food and stuff, I don't see myself being that committed.

On another note, I'm just like constantly hungry today. Colleague said 'maybe it's a sign for you to be fat.' O'o..that spells trouble. Maybe it's me being nervous. I'm just bloody nervous on the idea of seeing someone. A particular someone. I nearly forgot to breathe a few times. And my feet and hands are cold. Or was it the air-condition.

OK, times up! Let's go home and stuff myself with kerepek! Chop chop!

P/S: I have more duit raya this year. Last year I got RM10, this year I got RM20, which I spend watching movies with my cousins. Ha-di-ha

No kissing scene shown in the cinema! I love it. Except for one peek on the cheek on the very last scene.

It started off with a scene in a place that looks like Afghanistan. Apparently, shooting innocent people can only bring trouble to the US. It's a story where people's lives were compromised as we strive to be too dependent on computers. The so-called intelligent computer then started its killing spree, sending Jeremy (Shia LaBeouf) on a run. The computer itself killed his twin brother and sending his life and another person's life into a living hell.

It was completely bewildering to have someone tailing you wherever you go without failing to keep track on what you do. Nothing is in our hands anymore and that kind of freak me out. Well, who can take it if the LRT actually turns back to the previous station when an instructed was disobeyed?

I would say I seriously like the car chasing scenes in this movie. Maybe that's because I don't really watch movies.

Shia in this movie don't really have that much dialogue. From a kid in Even Stevens, he is now a versatile star. I am actually a bit concerned him being trapped in the character of Transformers. But he didn't.

And me doing this review means that I have nothing to do during Raya. Ha ha ha, what a loser.

On another note, some things have been cleared, giving me the opportunity to move on. It was definitely hard for me to reveal what I want, especially when it comes to relationship. And it becomes harder when someone said 'Aku dah lama perasan kau perlukan seseorang tapi ko terlalu keras untuk mengaku' (well, along the lines). It wasn't easy but as I'm ready, what's there to wait anymore.

But thanks anyways for laughing at me for nearly 30 seconds. The uncontrollable laughter that will certainly make me stab you in the chest if we were not talking on the phone.

No wonder I have this good feeling in my chest all week long. I do lobe surprises so. Hence, surprise me.

P/S: I swear Matthew Gray Gubler has puppy eyes that is oh-so-cute. ha ha

French Vanilla

You are not
One of those French Vanilla experiences
You'll never be
One of those experiences.

One lunch
You are not boring
Two dinners
You still appear charming
Three teas
You are seriously amusing
Fourth shopping session
You made me laugh till me face turned crimson.

Fifth meeting..
Sixth.

We have this special thing
And it never feels bland
Not like French Vanilla effect
When its excitement flee
When you had the sixth try.

We had our shares of laughter
Merriment and cries
Like bread and butter
Sugar and spice.

Let's keep it like this
Like perfect puzzle pieces
Take small tiny steps
Reaching high up to the skies.

1. I hate real flowers but I'm so in love with bunga plastic. I can really shop (with a passion) for bunga plastic. I actually researched three places for bunga plastic, ending up with wobbly knees somewhere in PJ. See? I can't even remember where I last shopped.

2. The house looks like a florist now. We (my auntie and I) are so honestly proud of ourselves.

3. My cousins happen to hate mercun. Seriously, where's your semangat raya?

4. More kids will love me this year. Well, I know why. But sorry, I think I will sleep on my money.

5. Does buying a new mug for your bestfriend can be considered as a part of Raya celebration? I feel like buying one. I know she'll love it. But will it be appropriate when her mom is hospitalized? What kind of dilemma is this?

6. I'm still at the office at 1pm, 30 September 2008. Reason being of still working half day; seriously don't want to tolong masak rendang in the morning. My cousins will say 'Orang nak pegi toilet kejap' and they will leave me covered in ashes for the next four hours. Let them survive this morning.

7. I have flu, my throat feels like sandpaper. And my forehead is burning. how am I going to scan for eligible bachelors tomorrow? *cries

8. One pesan ketupat, another rendang, another lemang. Do I look like a supplier to you guys?

9. I received one kad raya this year. I gave up posting any cards because it got lost somewhere last year. And the year before that. All of them. I will deliver by hand if I need to.

10. I'm wearing baggy baju kurung this year. Last minute shopping. Serves me right.

Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural and Criminal Minds are the top in my favourite drama series list. Week by week, I will be staying up way late just to check out what's new with them (missing Jared Padalecki in Supernatural? Never. Of course, gawk at Matthew Gray Gubler in Criminal Minds. Surprisingly, I actually like Ellen Pompeo in Grey's Anatomy).

But it so happens that I really don't have to wait until the weekend for drama. Drama happens every single day of my life. For an easy example, I have a cast of actors and actresses re-enacting the mobile 018 advertisements. They will be saying 'Kenape?' in that small voice at the right places and at the right time. And we will of course, laugh heartily.

Call us dreamer but we don't mind. My friend and I will be talking long into the night on our future plans. We have this long strategy of securing a safe future by securing geeky, ugly, old guy from some rich country (points...can't reveal). And we will strategize on how to invest his money to reap benefit (of course, at the end of the day I just want to faint at the idea).

If that's not enough, I can always wait for a show when we go out shopping. Especially during haggling. I just station myself beside her and watch. Something interesting will definitely come up.

I don't have to tell on how my colleagues punched, patted, pasted some advertisements on the back of Mr Moose at the office. Nor do I have to tell about the conversations on 'ini kuih dorayaki keras bersaiz hobit' (to describe a small biscuit in the shape of dorayaki and really small'. Nor do I have to tell about the funny emails I receive daily. I can just say that my life will never be dull, regardless of how hard I try to make it unbearable.

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things

I swear I was about to type something beneficial when my mind went blank as I caught a whiff of really delicious smell. Kurus puasa!

Anyways, I'm just writing here to complain about Jason Mraz. Ouh yeah, Mr A-Z, Geek in The Pink, whoever you wish to call him. His latest track made me want to cry. Of course it's sweet but it want to make me cry as I can feel myself dying slowly. I find myself being puzzled because of the weepiness of the song. I tried listening to 'Lucky' in the office and I had to be dragged to the restroom to wash my face. Kidding but the former part is true. The sleeoy part I mean.

It is undeniable that songs like If It Kills Me, Beautiful Mess, Lucky and I'm Yours have pretty good words to it but I have to say I can only vote for I'm Yours. Someday, when I get terribly emotional, for whatever reason in the whole world, maybe I will resort to other the other three songs. Although I have to say If It Kills Me actually is pretty fast.

Butterfly is very catchy and very chic, I very like. But then again, there were meanings that I am not sure whether it should be interpreted or not so I'm just going to say I like. No further comment. But I do actually like the combination between Mr A-Z with James Morrison.

Well, if slow, love songs are your cup of tea, this is for you. I would definitely listen to it with the sea in the background. Not to say that it isn't good. It's just that Jason Mraz offered me smaller choice of songs. Sedeh!

P/S: I swear Jared Tristan Padalecki gets more good looking every single week!

The ride is nearing the end. And I never thought making such a simple decision will cause punding headaches, sleepless nights and long hours of discussing what to do. At this age, I thought matters related to the heart will be so much more easier. How wrong was one to assume that.

Enjoying the ride is another thing. Making the decision is just as important. Every game in the world will come to an end eventually. That, no one will be able to deny. And in games, there will be losers and winners. Honestly, I don't wish to be the loser because if I lose this time, it is going to cost a lot. Trust, friendship and well, lots of things.

I've been happy these few days. Even giggly, to a point. One said this is a phase, it will grow to another level. Me? I still have no idea on what to do. Yes, I am that hopeless somehow.

I hope I can still see the signs. Apparently, I was blind to someone else's sign, resulting me being dropped out of the list. I thought that was brotherly love. how was I to know?

But seriously, I am happy. And I'm going to wait. Bak kate Jason Mraz, time is everything

Who would have thought, Lehman Bro, the biggest investment bank in the US, would have filed for bankruptcy. It seems however, that the 158-year financial behemoth became the victim of the financial turmoil.

Huge funds, especially in the Middle East are 'literally' sitting on their cash and prefer to make investments closer to home including East Asia and India. Everyone is watchful on their money.

The filing was named as the largest ever filing ever made and of course, feel free to Google on Chapter 11 (because I'm lazy to do so, thanks!). And the move was due to some issues due to mortgage and real estate.

Analysts say that this is not the time to suffuse money into financial institutions. This may be a great time to make investments as those made by Temasek and Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. But yeah, everybody is watchful over the world economy right now.


Hence, the dilemma of the day: Should I or shouldn't I buy a pair of shoes, which I have stared at for months? It's selling for half price. I don't really need it but I can wear it to office on Fridays. Should I or shouldn't I just follow Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) advisor's words to 'sit on my money'?

Making decisions are definitely not my strongest point.

On another note, Kapasitor.net has been shortlisted. Check this out:

Congratulations again for being shortlisted in our prestigious Award!

We are pleased to inform you, that the MSC Malaysia APICTA 2008 Awards Presentation Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, 15 October 2008 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre .The patron of MSC Malaysia APICTA, YAB Dato’ Sri Abdullah Hj Ahmad Badawi himself will be gracing this auspicious occasion as the Guest of Honour together with the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, YBhg Dato’ Dr. Maximus Johnity Ongkili.

The results of the Awards will only be announced during the Awards Presentation Ceremony.

Alhamdulillah.

Somehow or rather, I find myself playing with fire. Like continuously. Like I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I did it anyways. A very dear friend told me once,' the harder you try not to like it, the more attractive it will be to you.'

Somehow, I know what is happening now is not going to lead anywhere. I'm somehow fully aware of it. But the attraction is too strong, been keeping it too long I guess.

Someday it will kill me, I know. But I just can't help. Especially so when the truth came out that the other party wasn't as ignorant as I thought will be.

Hihi. Now I have a stronger reason to ...

And my smile will be wider as the day crawls. Yes, I know I'm speaking in codes. Speaking of which, I think my brain just became mushed up due to all the codings. I find myself knowing nil about coding. This is crazy. My head literally pounded trying to comprehend 'Broadband fibre equipment'.

You lazy bum. Go look through the notes. I'm off to my lovely home. Have a smashing buka puasa

It has been nearly a week. A week of having fever. I only worked for like two days last week. It was the most devilish fever I ever had. And this clearly got me into thinking that this is a sign from God that I'm to marry someone residing in the tropics, not someone living in the high mountains of Kathmandu. Eh?

So, what am I going to ramble about? About viral infection of course. You guys should see the look on the Dr's face when she told me that I had viral infection. Like it settled every single thing in the world. Truth is doc, I don't even know what it means. Every time a person send me an SMS I will reply, 'I have viral infection. Whatever that means.' And proceeded to a helpless giggle, guling-guling dengan pijama kesayangan.

But thanks to the advent of Internet, here we are: Infection caused by the presence of a virus in the body. Next time doc, don't forget the laymen term.

I was so worried that I was bed-ridden for so many days. Not really worried because I can watch all the Tv shows in the world but still, I miss cold water to quench my thirst, sleeping directly under the fan and eating cold slices of papaya straight from the fridge. On Sunday evening, I started to see small spots on my arms. I was like...yikes!!! Is this dengue. So, I had to endure 1 and a half hours having a needle .. I think it was two needles; stuck in my hands while waiting for the result. Thank God it was not dengue. Still, I talk with real nasal voice and sore throat. Perfect for a rendition of 'She's in Fashion' by Suede or London Suede. Miahaha!

Having said that, yeah..I do feel quite ok but the ability to project voice has been limited as every time I speak to anyone (including phone calls) caused me to cough incessantly. No chance of fasting either yesterday, today and it looks pretty hopeless for tomorrow. Moi forehead is still hot but that's normal. I always have burning forehead when in reality I actually feel ok.

Maybe you have heard it, maybe you haven't but nevertheless; here's the piece of juicy news: Kapasitor has been shortlisted for MSC - APICTA Awards 2008 Presentation (Best of E-Inclusion & E-Community).

P/S: I was utterly dumbfounded due to certain revelations. Ter shut up more likely. And then the person said 'sukahati'. Now, I don't know what to think as I've been so desperate to deny it all.

Yours truly has been down for fever for quite a few days. This can happen when the weather is so undecided. One minute its pouring rain and another minute its super hot.
Nothing's interesting I guess, except for a missing email address. I searched frantically when I found out that the old server was no where on earth and thus, som very important information went missing. can't be happier than that of course.
Went to MPH warehouse sales and of course, what can you expect. I just went bonkers. Luckily I don;t have credit cards. Imagine LOTR for just 76 bucks. But none came with me so have to settle with few books. But I got the full work of sherlock holmes. well, how happier can you be right?
This is boring. Me typing this feels boring. It's the second day I took MC.
I'm done being boring. See you later aligator

Reminder: not for advanced English speakers. I'm not writing anything on Shakespeare fyi

I have thought of writing something about this since...let me see, last year but you know things and work (and pure nothings) do get in the way. So here goes:

I noticed that voila is not being used in appropriate places. Voila is actually a French word and of course, it's pronounced as wala (same as moi its mwa, not MOI). It is equaivalent to there you go or in a cruder way, amek ko. So, spelling it as walla will just make it weird.

Still on the French issue, saying 'Pardon my French' means that person has just swore or something. Not that they are talking in a different language but check if they just did. You know, insurance.

When a writer puts 'Tell me about it', it doesn't literally mean that he or she is going to tell everything about it so just quit waiting. What they are trying to say is 'Yes, I know about it. I'm also feeling the same'. It's just an expression. Don't make the mistake of asking the writer 'When are you going to tell the character his or her problems.'

Shut up. This may be familiar to those who have watched Princess Diaries. Shut up means 'No, you can't be serious', 'That's impossible. It can't be! Darn, I'm screwed' not 'I don't want to listen to you so close your mouth please'.

Got to do some last minute shopping for birthday present. Yeah, I do put a lot of thought on what to give people. By the way, thank you very for those who came yesterday; Fai, Jojo, Caha and NJay. Thanks for the present Jo, it was an instant hit in the office. Oh I do bring stuffed toys in the office since nearly everyone has something animal-like, cute, cuddly thing. Sho adorable. And somebody has even hinted on adopting it. Haha.. no way Jose.

To serunaifaqir: I really forgot your event in MPH tomorrow. But I do hope it will be a blast.

Have a fantabulous weekend ahead. Happy Independence Day and Selamat Berpuasa. And to aynone having any kinds of competition, wishing you the best of luck. I'm stuffing my face with cakes tomorrow.

I just had a momentary writer's block. One phone call managed to kill the rest of my brain cells. How tragic.

Everything, as in everything is at the tip of your fingers now. You want to know about Jose Rizal, Jared Padalecki, Steve Jobs ... well namely almost everything. You don't even have to get out of your smelly pijamas. With a touch of the start button, you can access the whole universe.

Welcome to the Internet age. Hail Pak cik Google. Now, everybody loses their privacy. With a click of a button, you can be retrace. Sounds scary? Don't because it's the truth. Just embrace it.

This Tim Berners-Lee invention has certainly changed our lives from relying on the books to relying on the Internet. Clueless about a word? Refer to the WWW. Wants to know the stock market? WWW is the answer. Wants to know dos and don'nts during dates? WWW. I mean I'm entirely reliant on the WWW too these days. Having cut off from the thing for a few seconds can just drive me crazy.

Seriously, I have no idea why I write this. I just wasted my few minutes because I just found out this entire has no motives at the end of the day. I'm just babbling.

God, you have lost it, dear.

P/S: Writer now has to bang her head on the table as she believes some of the screws have totally been unscrewed

Ma mere was admitted to the hospital on Saturday midnight. Doctor said Mum suffered from heart attack, a mild one. But her being her, she happened to be the healthiest patient in the ward. Everybody was lying on the bed while she's the only one sitting on the bed and chatting with visitors.

She refused to be brought to the hospital when she first felt the pain at 8pm. And when my big brother arrived at around midnight she decided to agree to be brought to the hospital (I am not living with them). And the doctor said: 'You had the pain at 8 and waited until nearly midnight to go to the hospital? That was very brave"

And when I knew what happened, of course I nagged like there's no tomorrow. About the part when she insisted to wait instead of rushing to the hospital of course.

A very simple test can help save lives. It is actually very easy to detect heart attack. The early sign could be the failure to have complete use of the left hand, be it difficult to raise the hand, bending it or moving it either. Mum said that's what exactly happened to her. Because this is the first time that it happened to her, she was actually not aware of what she was going through. But she did confirm of feeling painful on her left arm.

Another tip is to test whether the patient has difficulty to speak. Ask them to say the simplest or words and see if they are able to say it without difficulty.

In this age, we have to admit that heart attack is no longer 'penyakit orang kaya' (sickness for rich people). Everyone is actually prone to it now, regardless of their income, age and race. A simple knowledge can help us save lives.

Cold drink addiction called a bad habit | CNA
August 21, 2008

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Addiction to cold bottled drinks on hot days is a bad habit in terms of both environmental protection and health, warned an official from the John Tung Foundation yesterday.

Drinking and consuming excessive amounts of bottled cold drinks, particularly purchasing them from convenient stores, will only cause those franchises to consume more electricity in order to boost sales -- which is eventually detrimental to the environment, said Hsu Hui-yu, a foundation official in charge of nutrition and related affairs.

The John Tung Foundation is an anti-smoking group seen as one of the most effective nonprofit lobbying groups in Taiwan.

Hsu quoted tallies from the Ministry of Economic Affairs as indicating that electricity consumed by refrigeration storage facilities in Taiwan's convenient stores constitutes about one-third of all energy consumed by the stores.

The refrigerators in each of the 8,120 convenient stores nationwide consume an average of 51,000 kwhs each month, and as a result, the carbon dioxide that is discharged during the generation of the electricity consumed by all of the convenient stores in Taiwan each month could equal as much as the carbon dioxide taken in by 950,000 full-grown trees, Hsu said.

Aware that sales of cold drinks and dairy products have been one of the culprits of increased energy consumption, many advanced countries have taken measures to reduce electricity consumption by related industries and services, Hsu related.

The United Kingdom is promoting the sale of preserved milk to replace fresh milk, as storage of the latter consumes more energy, Hsu said, adding that most of the soft drinks in Germany, Portugal and Spain are sold and stored at room temperature. He also noted that Wal-Mart Stores in the United States require its suppliers to provide the amount of greenhouse gas emission for each of their products.

The UK's Tesco grocery franchise has promised that all of the over 80,000 products on their stores' shelves will carry tags telling how much carbon dioxide emission is involved in producing and marketing the products, Hsu added.

"For the part of the consumers, they can help reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission simply by drinking fewer cold bottled drinks," Hsu reiterated.

Meanwhile,Wu Chien-lung, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine with Taipei City Hospital, said he does not think it's smart to consume cold drinks or ice excessively in the summertime.

"Gulping icy drinks probably cools people down and delights them on hot days, but people with weak stomachs could suffer diarrhea, those with weak kidneys could develop dydroncus, some could develop skin rashes, and black eyes and nasal problems could become worse after people drink their fill of cool liquids," Wu said.

Those who are on a diet should refrain from bingeing on cold drinks, as nearly all of those products could affect their metabolism if consumed excessively, he added.

This was the email I received this morning, just when I sat on my chair. And being the ever so cynical, I sent this:

wow. i never thought drinking will be such a SERIOUS business. now i know that drinking alone can lead to global warming.

i guess the only thing that's free on earth right now is to fart (at your own risk).

How wrong was I to say that because I soon got this reply:
Aishah,
Farting is not free you know. The NZ govt is actually taxing local farmers for gas emission by their cows. Everytime their cows fart, they have to pay..

So, nothing is free now? And everything leads to global warming as cows fart were found to pollute the environment more than the traffic. How very scary.

Farmers raise stink over New Zealand 'fart tax'

Reminder: I couldn't, for the life of me, remember if I have written on this or not so please, let me torture you for a few lines.

I'm so so so relieved. This is why:

"You seem to be in the middle between the Type A and Type B personality. In this case, the middle ground is good. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind and you know how and when to relax. Nonetheless, you realize that picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life. The equilibrium is important, so don't let your hostile, aggressive, and competitive alter ego take over too often. Generally, you are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. Yours is a very healthy attitude towards life. "

Do you remember Chang or Chong from What Happens In Vegas? The ever-competitive colleague of Joy? Or Dr Yang, the one in Grey's Anatomy? They compete and strive to get what they wish, almost to the point of sacrificing anything. It's scary to see them being in fierce competition with almost everything.

I have to admit that I can be very impatient such as queieng to do a bank transaction during lunch time. The slighest delay will make me go mad and I will be silent for hours. Because I know, one I open my mouth, I will be screaming for hours and that will so not be good to me and the people around me. Most of the time, people don't really realize this because I have this 'Silly' sign stamped on my forehead.

I'm not a studious person but I'm an extreme workaholic. Once, in my precious job, a friend asked what time I arrived at work and he was so shocked that I arrived before 8am and sometimes leaving at almost 10.30 pm. I was so driven to succeed that finally he said: You'd better watch out. Doing this for a very long time will lead you to burn-out. That sentence made me think, for a very long time.

And there was once when my alter-ego took me almost completely. That was the time for the hardest break up I've ever faced in my life. Consequences to the breakup was severe..let's not get to the details. Others inability to achieve something that they want pissed me off then, especially when it will disrupt me. What I wish to do right now is to be more forgiving, more understanding and being a better listener. Let's just say I learnt the lesson the hard and most expensive way.

Last week had been really difficult. My pulse were pretty quick (yes, I have this obsession of checking it very so often) due to constant stress. I left late every single day so now, thanks to the school holidays, I am able to hop on the bus at 7.30 and arrive at the office with a hot steaming pau. And leave the office as soon as it's getting dark. And thank goodness my pulse are getting better (though I do realize that I have to stretch this week).

Well, I'd like to rant more but the time is running out.

You Don't Mess With The Zohan

I like Adam Sandler. Either in Click, the Longest Yard or ok..I'm bad at remembering movie titles. And I was totally overjoyed when someone texted 'I have 2 tix for Zohan movie preview on Sunday.'

It was funny as always but honestly I can do with less remarks leading to indecent acts (I can't bear typing this knowing that there are school children here; I can't imagine the parents who brought their kids into the hall last Sunday). It was everywhere and non-stop, to the point of making me sick.

The message was loud and clear; go after your dream, stop fighting, there'll be opportunist here there and everywhere but seriously, it made me gag as most of the time there will be remarks like 'my Pe Pe is not sti**', Bang Booming and stuff. An ex-soldier cutting hair is funny but then offering something else after the haircut was a bit of a turn-off.

I honestly think that they should change the U rating to something like 18-- because it was totally not ok to see a guy and an all woman walking out of a closet with the woman looking clearly dishelved. I feel offended for one reason or another. Maybe I was totally unprepared to see those things on the screen when I walked into a hall that showed U-rating movie.

Luckily it was free tickets. And I made the smart move to go with a female companion. Mon a vis, it will be very embarassing to bring a smaller cousin or a male friend to watch it.

But there were of course hints of disagreement on US intervention into Israeli and Palestine matters. Adam did try to put it into perspective that things happening in the Middle East might not really originate from there but rather being stirred-up by some other party.

And of course, there was a part where Zohan realised who he wanted in the end and the usual matter that 'love conquers it all' (read: puke gag gag puke gag gag puke puke) .

What I enjoyed the most was Rob Scheiner's (The Animal) appearance. God, he was funny. He was Salim, one of the Palestinian who came to America to earn money. I honestly think that the funniest part was when they called Hezbollah... should not type or I'll give it all away.

It started with Zohan being bored with his duty of supposedly fighting terrorist, trying to find peace between Palestine and Israel. He escaped after fighting Phantom (the inspector or the police in Transformers) and heading to New York. And story starts here after he cut his hair on the airplane.. as well as another two dogs namely Scrappy and Coco.

The story obviously was researched very well. The Middle Eastern accent when talking English (not proficient talkers) was shown very clearly in the movie and it amazed me as it reminded me of a few people from the region that I met during university years. And it really depicted the way how they socialise with other people and even how they negotiate with each others. So I can say I like it in terms of effort. Just beware to bring someone older rather than your 11-year old cousin or you will turn beetroot in the face.

My rating: 2 bedak sejuk cap Mak Mah (read: tak tgk pon mak tak kesah)

ah...life couldn't get better. Thank God It's Friday...woohoo!

got plans to:
eat Thai food until blue in the face on Fri
buy shirts (cheap ones of course) also on Fri
free movie tickets on Sun (thanks thanks thanks Adi)
be a counch potato on Sat and watch Olympics (darn, I think I finished one bag of kerepek yesterday)
continue french lesson on Sat
bully my cousin for two days

ok i know, my life is not THAT happening but i still look forward to it. yey!

Well, I don't really believe in freedom of speech. Partly, yes, totally no. I'm seriously not being sceptical here, maybe for once. For me, everything has to have a limit. But of course, somehow people love to abuse it saying that 'We have the right to say this, that bla bla bla because of freedom of speech'.

Pardon me but I'm too lazy to Google how many races, skins and languages that we have on earth. So many varieties yet so limited space to live in. IMHO, if every single one of us would like to practise this freedom of speech to the full extent, chances are there will be like three people left in the world. People will be quarreling, killing and God-knows-what because everyone will just blurt out how they feel. What matters to them is to get the message across, regardless of how the other party would feel.

I believe this is where empathy kicks in. Of course, God created mouth to speak among other things but don't forget God created ears to listen to people. Hence the saying 'Cakap siang pandang-pandang, cakap malam dengar-dengar'. OK sorry, I cannot translate that. Thi hi hi.

In a nutshell, I think doing things just on the basis of freedom of speech or any other freedom you can think in the world, should have a limit. We really can't expect to live in harmony unless we respect other people's skin, belief, religion and what not.

Ok, enough rambling for today. Got to get ready for Art exhibition. suddenly I feel a wee bit artsy-bitsy.

:D :D :D thanks for the wishes, lunches and presents. its certainly has been a very interesting three days.
i love books generally and of course, i was overjoyed with the book that i received.
this has been the best year ever yet. thanks to everyone, thank you so so so much

'why aren't you eating? diet?'

'e asek diet je'

i sometimes don't eat real food for lunches because i'm afraid of falling flat on my face on the table and snores. i'm so so afraid that i will be sleeping so i cut the food intake. not really for dieting. i mean seriously, if you sit beside me, you can hear a rockestra from my stomach by 10.30. and you can't imagine how hungry i am by 10.30, let alone at 12. but i just have to resist from eating a whole plate of nasi goreng pattaya or nasi goreng ayam. and yesterday, i have to waste a really scrumptious nasi goreng ayam because i'm just afraid i will be sleepy in the office (well, my friend helped to order it and i forgot to say separuh).

i'm not on diet. i'm constantly hungry. thank god to wheat-based products. i can actually put the growling stomach at the back of my mid.

though sometimes, i do feel like munching on the stapler bullets.

someone has been acting very weird. it's like he's cutting the ties. and i'm actually ok with it. it always feels like he has some ulterior motives behind our friendship but hey! maybe he was just weird.

started on coding. it's interesting because there will be puzzles to solve on height of the importance of the stories. well, i think it's cool and i have a colleague who is giving me briefing on codings. for her to practise really. and those can be really valuable to me.

am landing back in Cyberjaya for the second time. and before i forgot, to those who are graduating, CONGRATULATIONS! now you've graduated, go and conqueur the world. rule the kingdom with iron fist and crunch anyone who dared to defy your words.

P/S: cutting lunch time to half an hour as am planning to try to go back early tomorrow. because i'm a snail. usually i will only be able to meet my target at 7.

Reminder: yes I played tricks on telemarketers but customer service representatives clearly differs from telemarketers.

Maybe it was just me but I think it really is happening. What you say? Customer service executives in Malaysia, some of them, seem to have attitude problem.

Customer service executives. The designation itself has the part of 'service'. And you are in the service industry. Your job is basically to serve people or you are too proud to read through your job requirement hence you are not in the know. According to Dictionary.com (one entry only because it will be too long to paste everything), service means
- the performance of any duties or work for another; helpful or professional activity:

I used to be a customer service representative and I always think that I want to make other executives' lives better now. I know that listening and picking up phone calls can be tiring especially when the queue shows like 50 at a time. So, I try to be the customer who addresses the executives by name and be nice and sound nice.

Know what I get? Rubbish. Rubbish service for the call that I made.

My very recent experience was when I called a fast-food outlet. I was trying to be helpful and spelled my office address in country code. And talk about arrogance, he stopped me saying:
'Ya, I know..' and proceeded to say something else.
' No, that's not the name of the company. Get this down.' Mr Know It-All, you think I don't know the name of my own company?
And when the order came, my company name was spelled wrongly.

Seriously, do they ever train their staffs? Or would they want to consider providing hearing aids to their customer reps?

Then, another experience with telecommunication provider. I called up to change my credit limit and I know it was very early in the morning but that was the only time that I'm free. Definitely not at 5, I'm not that crazy. And the person who picked up the call sounded just fresh out of the bed and I was the one who greeted her very cheerfully, Good Morning and all. OK fine, I know it's very early.

When I proceeded to ask how can I change my credit limit, she went on and said, 'You have to pay this amount first before asking for a change,' which is fine. And then she added a second later: 'Faham tak?' in this patronizing voice.

I was shocked. It wasn't like I asked her three times. She told me to pay my bill the first time only and I truly don't get it when she said Faham tak like I asked her three times. Her evaluation? I gave her 2 out of 5. And that was considered generous.

In my last job, we were told to handle the customers well and if the customers are rude, we were to warn them three times before putting down the phone. There should be no sarcasm unless the customers are really really rude. And we have to apologise if the system was down or of the like although we were not at fault. Yes, it sounded dumb but that's what you do when you are in the service industry. People don't call you up for free and I'm sorry to add this but that is your job.

I rarely use customer service help in Malaysia and when I do, most of the times I will be disappointed. Of course, there are a few who are good but when I asked around, this is the kind of treatment that they get. If these customer reps are working in ... well, another country near us, they are done for. My colleague's name appeared in one of the newspapers as one customer made a complaint about an airline and he was just the messenger.

My advice is this: if you think that you are too good, too impatient, too arrogant, too intelligent, too smart, too lazy then too bad, just quit the job of customer service rep because as far as I'm concerned, Malaysians are reasonable. Of course, unless you wronged them. Hence, if you are not patient enough or can't bear answering simple questions, why not take a raincheck and apply for other jobs?

I'm sad. Again, do they ever train customer service representatives properly over here?

Two Aishahs in The Office...

Normal occurances at the office:
Siti: Aishah (Siti called me, sitting opposite her)
Aishah: Siti
Siti: Did you abstract this story on Barito? (showing an email in her inbox)
Aishah: Let me see (after a few seconds). Ya, I did that.
Siti: I will forward this to you.

An email on my abstract was sent to Siti. We have the same names and sit beside each other (kind of). So, one has to be called Aishah while the other one is Siti. We wear scarves and spectacles. I'm shorter by a few good inches but you can hardly tell the difference when we are sitting.

C: Aishah, come
Aishah turned around. Actually, C was calling Siti. Luckily I didn't say anything or I'd be embarassed.

It's kind of cute having the colleagues confused about your names. I can become Siti and Siti can become me. We have the same name, with exactly the same spelling. So, the only difference is our father's name.

I got emails meant to be sent to Siti quite a few times. And just recently, one of our colleages called Siti by her father's name.
C: I can't differentiate which is which so I have to address one of them via their fathers' names.

And this morning someone mis-thanked us for half a pau. I actually gave it and Siti was thanked for it. It's hard not to laugh when Siti said:
"I'm starting to feel not unique now. Why is it so difficult to differentiate us?"


I used to have a classmate in school with the same name, spelling and all. But maybe because I used a different name, it didn't pose any problems. And we shared the same sense of humour. We can totally relate to each others joke and that is pretty cool. I've never met someone like that before.

Ah, there's hot curry puffs in the pantry. Got to attack them ASAP. So long people, have a nice day.

Friends TV Series. Oh yeah, the renowned series Friends. Somehow, I cannot forget them. The series will be relevant to me like at all times.

I love Ross the most. He's sweet, charming, geeky, thoughtful and funny. Of course, he's a good whiner. Ha ha. Then, I love Chandler. He's so funny, I can barf my brain out listening to him. He's just so wacky. Then comes Phoebe. I just can't get over 'Smelly Cat'. As I'm typing, I can basically hear her sing.

Rachel is the one with great taste in fashion. Love her style and her revenge tactics and how she transformed from a spoilt Rachel to an independent one. And then comes Monica Gellar. She has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). She wants people to like her, perfectionist, loves the lime light and wants to be in control at all times. A great cook, tidy and understanding wife.

I like Joey the least. OK he's cute but that's it. Of course, I can still love his silliness.

Then, a friend dropped the bombshell. 'I think you are Monica Gellar'. How I wish. Then, Mum wouldn't scream for me to keep my room tidy. And, I can have a detailed plan for the next three years (which I don't). And great cooking skill. But no. And actually, I like seeing her but not being her. It must be quite annoying to know somwone who loves to be in control of everything.

'No, you're not her exact duplicate. You do have a specific goal sometimes and determined to keep to it.'

Come to think of it, I do inherit some of her OCD. Ha ha ha. I'm overprotective of my things, short on temper, cannot bear people not understanding my instructions, bossy and have this itch everytime I see people spell something wrongly. God, how I refrain myself from saying anything of the latter bcuz I tu can't spill. Ok not funny, sorry.

This friend of mine, she resembles Ross. She hated Ross but it's just so her. She actually quoted statistics while talking to me. That's it, only Ross-the-dinosaur-lover speaks like that. She's thoughtful, sweet, funny and brainy. Just the perfect Ross.

I found Rachel in my other friend. I love her clothes and her style. I just do. I can't imagine me wearing high heels. I might just fall over like 500 times if I were to wear heels but she does it the best. She has the most beautiful accessories collection, IMHO. I love her watches too. In short, she has great style.

Who I like to meet most? Chandler! I can't imagine having a friend as funny as him. It will be absolutely great. And I want to meet Phoebe too! She's just quirky and funny. I enjoyed the show most when she was pregnant with the triplets.

Time is running out and I have to go. I'm Monica Gellar. Who are you?

OK, so I have this habit to love talking to a very old friend for hours. Oh yeah, mengalahkan akap ngan boipren. An yesterday, we were talking about radicals.

Radicals in the community are similar to free radicals in the body; they kill.

It's never wrong to be an environmentalist, food lover, nature lover or whatever it is. But there's one thing you have to remember, just when someone does not live in a so-called energy-efficient home, it doesn't mean that the person does not want to save earth. Just because you LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE nature, that doesn't give you the authority to chastise somebody of polluting the air. Maybe he or she donated tonnes of money to WWF, how would you know?

Radicals, ah..living with or without them. Once in university, I had this conversation:

A: I wan tto join the trip to Japan too
B (listened intently)
A: But, where do I pray then?
Me: Wait, you mean Muslim's in Japan doesn't pray? Of course there will be a place for Muslim's to pray right?

And this is a person who you will take one look and say, this person is well-learnt in religious thingy. Well, well well, maybe the person is too religious to think that you can pray everywhere in the world provided it's clean.

Kadang-kadang ko rasa ko bagos sangat sampai lupa orang lain pon semayang jugak, baca Quran jugak, pose jugak.

I love nature too. Seriously. But that doesn't give me the right to say Nokia is a sinner, a big one for making handphones. Necause we are living in the now, in this technology-ridden era. If you want to achieve 0-pollution, I think it will be impossible. To cut it and reduce it, yes. It's possible.

Ah, time to enjoy the cool air in KLCC. So, by people. Have a nice weekend. I won't stop eating until Sunday night. Tata

stop for a moment? I know time flies but it used to fly on planes, now it travels through spaceship. There's like 3,458 things to do in a day but there's like no time to do it.

I know for a fact that living in this world is hectic but this, this is almost unbearable. One blink and it's already June. One blink and my baby cousin is now dating. One blink and the sun roses. One blink and ...arghh! I'm going nuts.

My French book is still there where I left it. And its nearing the end of the week and I haven't actually learnt a new word. We all have the same time given to Helen Keller, Isaac Newton and all the great people in history but why does it feels like its flying like really, super fast?

Is it because we are supposed to do so many things in such a short time? We are expected to do so many things in one shot? Like, one has to be successful at work, get good salary and have to keep fit. In order to do that one has to:

a) hold a high position in an office (which may require long laborous hour at the office)
b) earn good money (keeping up and finishing the work)
c) keeping a healthy body
wait a minute. If one is supposed to do all that, would 24 hours be sufficient?

"Take it slow" people say. What? Are you serious? Everyone is pushing and striving to be the best, going faster and faster, cutting sleep, social time and family time and yet you say 'take it slow'. Who are we kidding? We know that it's almost impossible to keep it slow. We know nothing will wait for us.

I feel the pinch now. Maybe it was just me but I seriously feel that this is too fast. There are so many things to pay that slipping the performance is really not an option. And then there's the keeping fit thingy. And to have good health, one must take good food too (which is known to be expensive).

I want to just scream 'Stop!' at the top of my lungs. I don't know how long I can stand KL and I definitely cannot imagine living in other big cities like the Big Apple. Everything is too fast, I feel like ...

I don't know what to feel anymore. I just feel that a day passes without me noticing. And I hope I'm not reaching breaking point.

Maybe I need a break. With breaking of the waves and voices of seagulls. I don't know.

Let's start with a situation:

A guy was running like there's no tomorrow followed by a crowd. A bystander who observed the crowd concluded that the crowd was running after him because he was a thief. Apparently, the bystander was wrong. The crowd was chasing him because he was a super popular singer. See? Don't fall for the trap of 'A picture tells a million words'. A picture can tell a million lies.

IMHO, there's no right or wrong in this world. There's always a grey area to everything and another side of a story. What matters most is how you fight to proof it, to share your opinion in the most convincing manner. For example, Darwin's theory. They are believers of this theory and there are non-supporters. He even derived the similiarities between human and apes to make his point. Well, those who were convinced by his theory will say he's telling the truth. I for one will refer to the holy Quran.

OK, that might not be so strong. I don't know how many people watched Justice on NTV7. They were showing this show up until last month if I'm not mistaken. It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. What matters is how you are going to state your opinion. If the people can feel that you are a teeny weeny bit inconfident, they will contradict you and you lost the case. But, if the alleged were confident and brave enough to act, they will win it all. It doesn't matter if they're right or wrong. What matters to them is they manage to make an escape.

Take one topic for example, talent. One can say that having a talent is useless. I honestly don't think so. I mean you may not be able to live solely from it (let's be realistic) but if you can create an opportunity or grab an opportunity from it, I believe you have the chance of making a small profit out of it. The only issue with those with talents I think is setting realistic goal. If you have karaoke-like voice, try not to aim the VMA. Set it a little lower and use it as an insurance like being a jingle singer or something. You might not survive solely on it in the country but just to gather some fund, it may come as a good thing.

Writing, ouh yah, most probably you'll end up like a beggar if you depend on it solely. Again, try to make a tidy sum of it. If it's too difficult, try to penetrate international market. I have a friend who know someone who's totally unknown here but won a poetry competition in the UK through an online competition. UK pound, babe. But did he try to depend solely in his writing ability? No. But that one shot, he did turn it into capital.

There's always two sides of a story. One has a talent and can be brave and bold to try to quit everything and depend on the talent only. Of course, if he/ she made it, he/ she is going to win big. But if failure is the outcome, embrace it because the damage has been done, do whatever you can for damage control.

Another story is a person who also has a talent but tries not to depend too much on it. He still tries to acquire the knowledge needed to survive the world and at the same time, create opportunities (like sending portfolio to companies for his caricature) and did make a tidy sum out of it.

If you have a talent, use it to the maximum. Never ever let it go to waste. If you can draw, use it while you are acquiring new things. Draw out your notes if that is the way to help you remember things. Sing your notes out if it can help to etch the things in your head. During your free time, create opportunity by buat muke tak malu to production houses and sing jingles. You are not going to lose everything, maybe a little of your time.

Of course, the simpler way is just to take yes/ no, black and white kind of thing. But giving these only two options will not enable one to tell the story behind the scene, to defend their self. Its it a bit cruel, don't you think?

I know, I love gray areas.

Letter to My Child

Hi kid, Mum here. How are you? I hope you are fine, just came back from school and deciding which homework to attack first, English or Mathematics.

I'm sorry for not addressing your name because I'm now just 26 and single so I haven't thought out the name for you and the rest of your siblings. I don't even know whether you are a good looking one or a hot one but either way, you got to behave ok?

Why did I write this letter? Well, next year, you are going to be a legal adult (18 years old) and you are to make the biggest decision in your live ever; entering tertiery education (no chance of escaping, I've all planned out to enroll my kids into university although I'm still single and no sign of your dad just yet). Don't make the same mistake as I did, please. You want to know what my mistakes are? Hold on tight, here we go.

You see, I pretty much regretted my decision not to enroll in English courses but resort to Engineering faculty during my university years. I was conned by the saying that 'with an engineering degree, you will have a better chance at picking your job later. You can choose engineering, IT or management.' Honestly, those are crap. In 2008, I want you to know that I'm working as an Information Analyst, which requires writing skills and reasonable English. If I'd picked English Literature or Modern Linguistics, I will be uber happy and will not have this humongous PTPTN debt.

Kid, play your strength to the core. Don't ever be trapped like me. If say you are going to take English course (honestly, I will be your biggest supporter), you will be able to make Masters and if you want we can work it out for you to PhD. That is even better than your Mum who has an embrassing GPA for her engineering+design degree. See? You have better advantage than anyone else.

And don't even think of paying between 60k-70k for a degree here. That is seriously equivalent to a degree in Aussie and yeah, I kind of regret it. You know, I have to fight for my life if I want to continue studying with this CGPA and I know if I'd play my strength, I would have gotten better.

Your Mum is now thinking about so many things that my bestfriend and I made a plan to marry a filthy rich white guy to settle our Debt. Just in case you just got back from counting your father's liver spots, you should know that we managed to carry out our plan. If you have just gotten back from marathon with your Dad, I have magically inherited gold from an unknown acquaintance.

Mum got to go for now. As the eldest, I don't wish you to share the whole letter with your siblings. Instead, I want you to lecture them to:

A) Give you the satisfied feeling after nagging someone
B) Give them the opportunity to be nagged by someone else.

OK kid, keep this as a token from your Mum who is at the moment going to be 26, single and have humongous amount of liability. She hasn't got a driving licence and had to wait for 7 months to get a laptop. Don't lead a life like your Mum, rather be smart and study over seas with huge debt than studying here with huge debt. I will leave you with that and get back to my work kid.

P/S: don't tell Dad about my 'husband-searching method'. Promise?

I Have The Hots For ..

...men in suites but not heading to the office. Like football managers. Darn, even Donadoni looks a bit macho in his suit (which is really unnerving). And Click Five. Love them because of the hot singer. No worries Jared, I still love you

...people whose names starts with J. Like Jared Padalecki, Josh Harnett, James Morrison and Jason Maraz. Of course I love Takeshi Kaneshiro, Ben Barnes and Damian Kulash. But, majority of those that I like has names starting with J.

... Careless Whispers. For one reason or another.

...books. My cosy little room is turning into a warehouse. Books are everywhere, literally. On the floor, table, chair, shelf, cupboards and ironing board. Yes, you got that right.

...books. Again. I have monthly allocation for books that I successfully exceed every month (yay!). And I usually don't manage to read them until the end of the month.

...Reader's Digest. They are just oh-so-yummy and witty.

Enough about me. What about you?

For some unexplainable resons, people thought that Iw as the one having trouble based on my last post. No, it wasn't me. It was some insight on some insight given to another person. Oh yeah, I love trying-to-make-no-sense-at-all in my speeches.

One of the political leaders were detained yesterday. All plans made with a friend were ditched down the drain. God knows what will the supporters do on weekends so we might as well not care to go out. Sit at home and be nice, dainty ladies (and grow old). Become the couch potato and pledge to memorise the TV programmes. Anything but going out.

And then, he was released. But still, we are unsure of what will happen so repeat the next paragraph here.

Batman, Dark Knight (more like a Dark Lord) is here. I didn't realised it was out yesterday. But I think I'm just going to watch it some other time. I know people will be flocking to the cinema to watch Heath Ledger aka Joker but I'm ok of being the last one to know. The reason why I say Dark Lord is of course, the slightly more attention given to the late Ledger. Well, what to do, he's famous afterall. And I know they'll be abit of 'ah sayangnye' if he made it to the Oscar list. But life goes on and there you have it.

TGIF. Yes, that's what I'm feeling right now. I woke up with a stupid smile on my face and picturing myself going back early. I've been craving for salad since last Wed so might as well make one today for myself. Apart from love cooking, it's a strategy to cut cost too. Ok fine, I'm just a cheapskate.

Ah, Master S is in the pantry. Got to join her.

From My Desk : Big Names Comes With..

big responsibilities of course. What were you thinking about titles, jobs and promotions? Hot chicks only? Yeah, you do get hot chicks but of course with something extra.

I remember vividly that there's this one time when I wrote a poetry (which I'm too lazy to look up for right now) when someone said, 'be careful what you wish for'. As time goes by, with me being the pathetic, one hell of an attention seeker me, I still cannot get out of my silly habit of wishing for things that I shouldn't be wishing for. Things like wanting a job (back then, which proves to take a toll on my health) and wanting friends that I shouldn't even look twice in the first place, I realised that we have to be very careful on what we wish for.

And questioning the authority, might prove to be hazardous to oneself. Try it, go on. Demand an explanation from your boss why you should be doing this boring little thingy that made you feel positively like a small dimwit, just an example. See what we'll happen. Either you will have to pack your things in a net little box or get a promotion with tonnes of work to do. What, you think being a CEO doesn't require you to do anything meh? There's a lot of thinking and monitoring to be done. Well, this is for CEO with calibre of course. Others don't count.

And after opening our mouth (or sealing the letter), prepare to walk the talk. People, honestly, in the top line, doesn't really like the talker when they really can't perform. If we want to be one, be very charming and by all means, do whatever you promised to do.

Why the rambling? Well, first and foremost to keep me on the ground. To remind me that this is my job and I would have to take responsibility of it, regardless of my puffing and huffing while doing some Indonesian sources. Basically as a reminder for myself that to question authority, one must be prepared for the consequences. Think about the pros and cons, look at it from the technical side before finger-pointing (I was not given enough work, she was doing nothing at the top, the higher management doesn't care what happens to me e.g).

Human are creatures that are hard to satisfy. This is why I wrote this, as a reminder to myself. Well, you can take some if you want to.

P/S: I know you hardship darl. But that's what engineers do I guess. Sabar eh?

Binge eating. It's as dangerous as binge drinking. Although it does not cause hazardous accidents, its enough to make you turning here and there like a hot warm worm in a hot sizzling night.

I don't usually eat during the weekend for fear of just sleeping on the table. Come Friday, I will be eating like there's no tomorrow. Like the food in my house is the only thing that I'll be eating for the next four years. So, I will be eating and eating and eating. Imagine an overloaded truck bursting with garbage. Imagine the load of a printer having to print 200 copies of A4 paper in 4 minutes. Imagine the workload and the burden. And my digestion system just slumps down to the floor. Woo hoo!

Binge eating of course is as dangerous as binge drinking and binge gambling. You can't possibly eat and expect your stomach to hold it right? (Dimwit, I should'nt have done that).

I puked and puked and puked like there's never tomorrow. Until at the end of teh puking session, a Ju-on like sound escaped my mouth. Yes, I was actually puking air. And of course, I refuse to eat anything that nite (of course since I was about to go to sleep).

So, I'm away for two days. And this morning, I arrived at the office half wishing that my chair is my bed. Ha ha.. who am I kidding. I felt a bit weak at first but it gets better.

Well, I just miss typing away and now I've done it. So, have a nice day Tata~

Hi! It's the depressed old me again. Ouh yeah, you read that right. I'm depressed on a Saturday afternoon. Anything wrong with that?

It's of course the translating thing again. And I konged out (language pollution) for no less than ten hours, totally missing the movie shown on TV3.
'What have you been up to?' asked a friend.
'Nothing good,' I said. Of course. It has always been work, and work and work. Yeah, I have no life. You got it right.

I've never realised being involved with Kapasitor will result in a major headache. I mean, not that I hate being one of the members involved in it but apparently, it takes more than just sending a message saying 'chill'. anything that is to be posted in any emails will have to be written with a clear and sound mind. But what was I expecting? Obviously big name comes with big responsibility. He he.

I'm still thinking about things regarding my plan next year. It seems that waiting will be the next favourite past time for me. I will have to wait to get a decent PC and I have to wait for the 'Paper'. Well, I'm short on the patience side most of the time so I don't know how to survive this. Seriously, I don't how but will mostly try to go with the flow only.
Of course there will be tons of it to do. Taking passport-sized photos (that I absolutely hate), filling in the forms (which I don' fancy) and ...the other things that I need to do. Ouh ya, getting signatures for the other papers. Or else, I will have to resort to other decisions that I don't think I will fancy. Ahahaha.

I think that's all the update that I can share with you with. And Azreen, thanks for the comment. I'm so looking forward to stuff my face with food for today and Sunday.

So, I have a nice day. I know I will enjoy mine (maybe or may be not). Ah whatever.

I want to cry. Seriously, I want to cry.

I have very high expectation on myself. I expect myself to perform and now, everything is like spiralling slowly and surely.

I have to abstract Indonesian stories now. I have to understand what it means in either English or Malay and then abstract. Imagine having to translate business news from layman's term and then changing it again.

Its like having to translate hard disk drive to pemacu cakera keras. Having to depend mostly on the dictionary? me no likey!

Well, that sinking feeling of incapability will soon go (which I predict will go in a duration of ten years. Fine. I'm a drama queen). I'm just scared that my slowness will result in the news being entered too late. Yikes! I'm just so scared. Yeah. I'm one tense person. Har har.

The day is getting brighter. Well, although misery loves company, me dun think that me likes being miserable. I will be doing the binge eating thingy to a point that I can feel that I have double chin. Not see, feel. Imagine how much have I inserted into my body.

I've come to realise that blogging is one of the very few ways to reach my ever-busy friends. I understand, job sometimes get the best of us. Or even study. Or work/ study.

Btw, I know I should be writing about the cruise but I must hang on to my reputation as a procrastinator, no? And before this writing becomes any weirder, I will just have to go.

I was just about to type 'Have a Nice Day' in French but I can't remember it. Crap. Must make more effort to study harder.

With This We Depart

We are actually aware of the chances
We know the consequences
But still we say
'Give it a shot, why not?'.

And now the time is here
The time for you to go away, my dear
'C'est la vie, ma cherie'
(That's live my love)
'There will be sadness, merriment and laughter"
'We laughed and now the rollercoaster is here'
'Bringing our tale to a definite swirl'
'Making it as if an old love story of yesteryear'.

It was definitely the greatest of times
With a lump in my throat, I had to admit
Guess we are a little bit too late
Maybe more than a bit.

We are very driven
Both of us
I know it's for your own good
But I'm actually wishing it just to be a little bit longer
I know you are reaching for the stars
I'll always be your most mammoth supporter.

I refuse to gaze at the stars with you
Not because I think it's mushy
But when you go and I'm alone
I'll be looking at the stars
Remembering and missing only you
There will be scars;
There will be lots of it.

I refuse to watch romantic flicks not because it's boring
But when you go and I'm alone
The tears the memories will bring
And only time will tell;
The tears will be full in my eyes well.

Goodbye
Make us proud with the PhD scroll
Goodbye
And send us pictures of you hitting your golf ball
Goodbye
(I said, looking at the picture on my cell phone)
Goodbye
(And remembering the times we get old)


I'm saying that not because I hate you
Because I hate myself binding you
Roam the world
Reach for the stars
When you meet someone
Don't wander so far.

With this we depart
Both of us can have back our hearts.

We have to make decisions either we like it or not. All the way through our lives, we cannot escape from making decisions, regardless of how small or how big it may seem. Although we tend to see decision making as something that may be very closely related to our feelings, science can actually help us in making decisions.

1. The framing effect - run from it.

The framing effect is the part where we tend to form some kind of an opinion on certain things. For example, we have the tendency to think that cars from South Korea are better than those of Japan. This of course, might be based from past experiences, reviews or other things. Although there might be very little that can be done about this, it is actually healthy to know that we have this bias.

The best thing to do is to broaden our views, look at it from different perspecive. Have our 'parachute' open in order to make better judgements.

2. Emotions are actually linked with our ability to make decisions.
Although we would like to perceive as decision making as something that is purely based on logics, emotions actually play a huge part in it. Imagine having an extremely grumpy boss who just won't smile at you but actually are not that fussy when it comes to work problems. If we are having a bad day, we might be very offended to see he/ she strolling around in the office with the grumpy face. Almost an instant later, we felt like sending her an email to say that we don't lilke her to be unhappy.

But, would that be said as a sound judgement? Would it be a good move? Stop for a moment and think because angry people are more prone to make crappy judgements. People who are angry are more prone to accept the first thing being offered to them compared to those who are calmer (of course this is a good idea to offer anyone who's angry the cheapest thing you can have *evil laugh). My point is, be aware of your emotions. Never fall into the trap.

3. Take risks

Identify the risks and consider the options. 'Will taking the risk to jump out of the window while throwing the flower into the hit girl's cubicle will increase the chance of her liking me?' Well, as an example. Saying this means that maybe we can consider the risks and try it. It might be a good thing. Taking steps, huge steps may bring benefit to you. One good example will be Bill Gates of course.Yes, that famous Harvard drop-out.

4. Bear the consequences.

Whatever that we do, be it positive or simply destructive, never regret it because we decided to do it in the first place. Be responsible and before taking any actions, consider the consequences. Of course follow the heart like some people would say but what if 'your heart's' decision are able to get you into jail? Seriously, are you still going to listen to your heart?
And crying over split milk is not a very good idea. I mean the damage is done so what we have to do right now is damage control. Moaning or complaining to others, may not help. You might have to choke on your own bile if someone said that all the problems actually originates from us. That will just be a total slap in the face.

As an adult, decisions are a must. And as decisions, we have to take charge and control on what we can do. We have to be responsible on the things that we can control. If say we don't manage to make a sound decision, the best thing to do is to turn back and try to control the situation. And quit blaiming others.

So, good luck to us in making decisions.

P/S: To someone, this hurts. I know but I think it's time for me to severe the ties. I'm so sorry.

My bag is considered very light compared to others. I have only one bag packs with very few things in it. I don't even have my usual bulky wallet. After all, it's not going to be very long.

Things in the past, whatever you did, will always come back to haunt you. I'm just so sorry Elle, things would have been easier if that thing 4 years ago (I hate remembering things these days. It'll be in years not months anymore). If only I didn't have the crush on that person, things will be easier. But what to do, the damage is done and now it will come back and haunt us, for years and years.

I would have rectified my braincells if I could return but of course I can't. I'm just so sorry.

Somehow, I have a tiny wiggly feeling that things will be very happy for me but I can't pinpoint it. Well, I won't bother.

I'm still shopping for courses. And I've yet to go past the part to pronounce French names. I got very tired 10 minutesinto practising. Thi hi hi.

And I have to go now. I'll be back very soon.

I must have been expecting too much from his writing. It started off quite good with the Claymore (a Eurasian who dabbled with black magic) but it got pretty bland after that. Maybe because I was looking for originality as I see it in Amir Hafizi's Susuk.

It started out in Malaya, post Independence where there is a shaman and his nephew who is working for the government. Women started disappearing and Alihudin, the shaman, was summoned by Clive who was looking for Jessica. Clive believes that Claymore has to do with Jessica's disappearance.

From this point onwards, readers were transferred to Australia to meet the characters over there. Despite the fact that it's great to see some fusion, I ended being in confusion. The Ouija boards, the summoning and all, it somehow got me lost somewhere.

IMHO, the punch was not there. The story was too everywhere. Where Claymore dabbled in dark magic was not revealed (which for me is a very important source). And it became pretty cartoony in the end, which is so uncool. It must be me but somehow I think it's losing something.

Tunku Halim writes the book using very nice vocabulary and all and it is, I have to say, very descriptive. The way he described how Claymore killed the victims are very gory and yeah, I have flashes of the images in my mind (and still having it now). But I got lost somewhere and some parts were not even supposed to be there (can't spoil it for anyone).

It started very good and towards the very end, I don't really feel it ended up very well. But hey, who am I to criticise him right?

If I have bought it for lesser, it might have been worth. And I can't upload the picture sorry.

On another note:

'Why do you write about love so much?'
Quipped a voice
In the middle of an owl's hoot.

Because it's universal
It can be about a cat
A caterpillar
A country
Or even a hat.

'Why is it important?'

Because it's here
It's there
It's everywhere.

She imagined him
With those eyes with pure cheekines
To still be staring
Still questioning.

Love is not all about
'I like you,
You like me,
Let's wrap this up and be married'
It's..

'But I like that one
I want to just wrap it all up'

Huh?

You and me
Just be married and happy.

And she blushed again
With a strangely, sicky kind of grin.

The TV hardly shows the trailer of the movie but I somehow felt a small tug at the hem of my shirt to watch this movie. The word 'government' and 'conspiracy' sparked my interest.

One tiny little photograph. A truly compromising photograph started the Baker Street robbery. A huge big conspiracy to cover one Princess.

A group of petty criminals as usual, tried to make a living in 1970. As they grew older, as usual, more things crop up like the needs of the kids and needing to secure one's business. A proposition came up from one Martine Love and the criminals started the plan to rob Llyod Bank (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/2008/02/16/bank-job-that-opened-the-door-on-a-royal-sex-scandal-89520-20320893/). The gang was unconspicious as to them, what matters is money. Apparently, Mademoiselle Love has placed blind trust in a person she's sleeping with and things that are wrong in the first place, turned out to be extremely wrong. Extremely wrong.

None of the gang knows what they were doing. All that matters was for them to get to the vault of Llyod Bank which was closed until Monday. They leased a Le Sac near the bank and started digging. Of course, police knocked on their door but since the robbers are covering someone on top, believe the people in charge did take a great care to cover that up. Oh, how they tried.

The bank robbery was also dubbed as Walkie-Talkie robbery whereby one of the radio operators heard their conversation and rung the police. And this is when things started to get ugly. Sophie Bern apparently kept comprimising photos of ministers and big shots and saved it in safe deposits. Well, the gang apparently were not actually targetting it.

Oh, enough spoiler.

It's amazing how one can get so far as to save their arse and let someone else's tight little asses to be in the open. What matters to them was just to bloody well shut up the whole robbery for the photograph is already in their hands. They don't care about Dave who got killed or the exceeds of 4mn losses in the robbery. All they cared was to save someone else's ares as in a top shot. Sounds familiar.

The story is great as it's based on real story. And watching this, I'm not surprised at all looking at our political scene.

OK peeps, gotta run for Get Smart. Tata

I have been nodding off quite a few times today despite the fact that I went to sleep at 10.30pm yesterday heavy rain in the middle of the night. Piles of paper are waiting for me with Singaporean stories need to be passed before 1.30pm and Indonesian stories to be passed before 2.30pm. Honestly, I have no idea how to finish it ASAP. If watching Ada Apa Dengan Cinta put me to sleep in 2 seconds (because I have no idea what they were saying, God knows what will happen in the next few hours).

Busy busy day ahead. Even the lunch just now tasted bland (besides the fact that it's so bloody expensive). And I know activities are packed for the whole day. And of course tomorrow because


I TOOK A DAY OFF TO WATCH MOVIES. Thee he he. Because watching movies on Wednesday will make me reach home very very late and I have to use the long route just to reach my home (with rempits and all, I'll be sprinting to my house. Well not sprinting, imagine a small penguin trying to run and you got me). So, I decided to take a break and spend the day in cinema. Purely to watch movies only. Not surprisingly, the timing is quite lari. There will be Nanny Diaries, Wanted and Incredible Hulk, which are movies that I don't dig. I just want to watch Bank Job and another movie but no idea what to watch. Made of Honour will be too cliche, I bet it will be like My Best Friend's Wedding (exceptional if the cast is like Ben Barnes, James Marsden or JARED PADALECKI). Patrick Dempsey aka McDreamy is not really my favorite, I can do without him.

Sepi? I'm not biased and I know I like Cinta but I don't think I want to watch it. Not that I hate Malaysian movies but I will usually watch it if the main cast is Afdlin Shauki. I know he's one of the main casts but seeing too many people at one time don't really attract me.

Kung Fu Panda? i know it's funny but watching it again? Humph..

Get Smart? Maybe I will need some laugh after watching Bank Job. Who knows.

I have a limit of three movies tomorrow. I know it sounds crazy but I felt like it. Er..maybe just two. Well, I have been doing crazy stuffs last week so I guess there should be no difference. And some of the movies are being released quite late in Malaysia. In this case, I would really love to seek advice from anyone out there on what to watch next. Bank Job will be on top of the list. In fact, I'm going to watch it first thing in the morning. Sorry, afternoon 12.25.

Please please please if you guys have any other suggestions, share it with me. Thank you in advance people.
