Saturday May 17th, 2008 - @ Tony Roma's: Khair's surprise birthday dinner

"HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY KHAIR!"

Birthday girl

Food was good...

The ambience was fine...

The company were the best...

and there you have it...a great birthday!

The after dinner plan was to watch a movie, but I was so tired, I just couldn't say no to the thought of slamming myself on my bed at home. I couldn't resist it so much that I got all cranky when I wasn't home by 10.30 pm.

Monday May 19th, 2008 - @ TGIF: Family Lunch

I Know I Know I Know by Tegan & Sara

From hundreds of miles, yeah, you cry like a baby.
You plead with me, shout, scream, tell me I'm staying.
I know I know I know, I'm still your love.
Back from the last place that I wanted to fake,
You laugh with me, shout, scream, now tell me you're staying.
I know I know I know, you're still my love.
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too.
This love isn't good unless it's me and you.

Box after box and you're still by my side.
The weather is changing and breaking my stride.
Oh well I know I know I know, it's just this day.
House after house, just like car after car,
You see club after club, and it all seems so far.
I know I know I know, what else are we here for?
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too.
This love isn't good unless it's me and you.

Stick your hands inside of my pockets,
Keep them warm while I'm still here.
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all.

Last night I was writing about you,
I know my screaming and shouting won't keep you.
I know I know I know, you're still my love.
I wake up to the sound of you working,
In one room right over, you're stressing and loving me.
I know I know I know, be still my love.
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too.
This love isn't good unless it's me and you.

Stick your hands inside of my pockets,
Keep them warm while I'm still here.
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all.
Stick your heart inside of my chest,
Keep it warm here while we rest.
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all.

The same as I love you, you'll always love me too.
This love isn't good unless it's me and you.
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too.
This love isn't good unless it's me and you.

Latest Enthrallment - He's a HOTTIE!

Ahh....my dearly fascination since FOREVER!! and it keeps on going...okay...I'll say no more...here he is, I present, the the Apple Of My Eye.

Takeshi Kaneshiro

The bottom image is still displayed enormously on the outer-wall of One Utama. No one will ever miss it. I just can't resist to turn my head whenever I drive past it.

Oh..why do they have to put hotties on billboards by highways or roads. It's just....dangerous! So...cruel....for making people like me can't focus on the road because I just can't help to not look! Hehe. Okay, my heart's melting now even talking about him.

A Fatigue Weekend

Saturday...

Still have loads of work to be finished, told myself that I wouldn't mind staying in office for a bit more just so I can finish my work. I didn't.

Reached home, saw Mom for a bit, took my shower, did what I was supposed to do, and BAM! I slammed my head flat on the pillow, with body, so tired and weak. I managed to recharge myself til' late afternoon. It wasn't as bad as other days when I failed to wake up before 3 p.m. I stretched my sleep through the "precious" day til' 5 p.m. Without fail!! Everytime I woke up, I would mumble to myself about the loss time I've planned for my lunch, my jog on the treadmill, my date with Mr. TV. But can I be blamed? Like all working people, I get tired too!

Dear Mom interrupted my sleep halfway. She asked if I wanted to join the family to Pavillion for breakfast and some shopping. I declined her kind invitation, shook my head, not even listening right to what she was saying. Her words only make sense later when they came back home and told me. And the "best!" part, my Dad got my sister a new high-heel pumps!!!! And it is Gorgeous! Shoot!! If only I knew...(I wouldn't mind sleeping through the journey as long as I get a new shoes too :( hmm...). Nevermind, just not my luck.

Had a scrumptious dinner at a Seafood restaurant in Shah Alam. I pushed the bowl of rice away, only eating the side dishes. Bear in mind that I had a "heavy-calorie" of burger from Carl's Jr. for my "supposed-to-be-lunch" in the evening. Promised myself to lose those calories later at night, but I didn't keep to that promise.

(Notice I am being "obsessed" with "weight-losing" and exercising?? I am!!! Well, obsessed? Not quite. But determine? Most definitely! Hey, I'm a girl, single, and young. It's a normal thing, y' know!!) Ok ok. I can have other better "mission" besides this, but it keeps me healthy and fit.

Tried my best again to sleep early like everyone, but I just couldn't. Didn't stress myself up by getting upset, so I watched the movie, "P.S. I Love You". Loved it!! I ended up retiring myself to bed at 5 a.m.

Ahh...Sunday!

It seems to be my only weekend. But still, it's swamped with weekly routine activities. Since my bedtime hours are now a total opposite as the way it was before, I can't keep my eyes open this afternoon when I was on the way to dance class (hoped that my sister would slap or smack me in the head to keep me awake). Grabbed ourselves a drink at Coffee Bean, assuming that it would boost my energy level up. But nahh, didn't help much. In class, tried my best to keep up the pace with the new steps and fellow dance mates. I puffed for air desperately.

I've realized that I've gained a few weight ever since I started working, so I increased my usual jog on the treadmill period to almost an hour. Once done, I was soaked with sweat.

Searching for the right song to dance to for my dance exam in June. It's not a fast beat song, but not a slow one either. Changed, set and played the song in a faster speed, and I've finally found the right fast speed for the dance steps. Woo~hoo! I hope my dance teacher can consent to the song.

Anyways, I am listening to a song called "The Guy Who Said Goodbye To You Is Out Of His Mind", sang by Griffin House. A lovely song, with the right words.

The Lyrics:
Come on

You don't need to change
A thing about you, babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
Is out of his mind

Well, I've been down and I need your help
I've been feelin' sorry for myself
Don't hesitate to boost my confidence

Well, I've been lost and I need direction
I could use a little love protection
What do you say, honey? Come to my defense

I stand up for you if it's what you need
And I can take a punch, I don't mind to bleed
As long as afterwards you feel bad for me

And you give me all of your attention
I've got deep desire and it needs quenching
I think that's pretty lame for you to see

Well, enough about me and more about you
Because that'd be the gentlemanly thing to do
I hope you like your men sweet and polite

I thought I was done with telling you
But I ain't nearly halfway through
I've got a few more things
I'd like to say to you tonight
Get ready

You don't need to change
A thing about you, babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
Is out of his mind, mind

You always did kinda drive me crazy
And it **** me off 'cause I let it phase me
But I never wanted my time with you to end

Now I'm back in town for a day or two
Well, mostly I came back just to see you
And even now but I don't want to go

You don't need to change
A thing about you, babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out, they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
Is out of his mind

My New Enthrallment

Hey guys, check out my new fascination in the aspect of music at the moment. The endowed, melodious sensation Sara Bareilles sure got my ears all tuneful now. Love her hit "Love Song" much to my heart. Ye'know, there was this song called "Gravity" by John Mayer, which was one of my favorite songs of all time. Sara has her own "Gravity" as well, and it is such a lovely song.

I don't know why I like it so much, but it's so harmonious to my ears, and it's more or less reflect...ME! Yaa whatever.

GRAVITY

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do,
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much,
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
Just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile,
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while,
And all my fragile strength is gone.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
Just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

I live here on my knees,
As I try to make you see,
That you're everything I think,
I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe,
Though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that,
You're keeping me down... oooh.

Keeping me down...yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're on to me, you’re on to me and all over...

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.

Melodramatic me during boredom

Being personally obsessed with the internet, I am constantly surfing to find many things to share or blog about. However, I seldom post around in blogs. I’d rather write long and more substantive stories of my life or health tips and advices, even blabberings that you both won’t and will be seeing elsewhere. Ironic..

However, today, unusually, I’ve written and posted 3 already. This shall be my 4th. What I’m saying is that I always felt that it’s just a waste of time to post or blog around, especially about unnecessary issues or stories, which won’t do any good or beneficial to readers (like there’ll ever be a reader). Yupp, me being cynical again.

But above all my feeling about this, yet I still really want to share all those little, unnecessary things, either I found or I’ve put into a story, throughout my day with readers.

Well, today’s many writings is due to the boredom I'm facing now at work. Only if I had known of the cancelled training, I wouldn’t have come. But being perpetuate enough, work is still work. Hey, I’m getting paid to come to work, that’s why its called work. Well at least I still have my sense of responsible-ness.

Anyways, it’s the last day of work for the week. The week had gone lithely. It had been filled with miscellany endeavors and sessions of training on numerous manifestos of the job scope. But this boredom robbing the moment is being astringent as it can be. I’m saying that time is my new enemy now, for its being playful with me quite recently. When I needed it more than anything, its playing a role as scarcity. And in times like this, its lingering around invading in and evolving around me when I'm doing the best thing in the world – nothing! Ok, I am being melodramatic about everything now, aren’t I? But seriously, it’s draining and hackneying everyone out.

Ok guys, I’m being deliberately making a big fuss out of everything, just so I could fill my “plenty” of time today. Ok then, I’m gone. Time’s up. Time to go home. Later.

Cheerios~

Destiny in Life

Ever wonder what you have done in your life, so far, past and present? Have you ever have thoughts and wonders if they were and are all worth, consuming most of your time and energy? Let me tell you a story which you might have heard of before.

Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horsemen that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land areas as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horsemen quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding on and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, “Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself”.

The above story is similar with the journey of our life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.

One day when we look back, we will realize we don’t need that much, but then, we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! However, work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time.

You have to decide how you want to balance your life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, life is short. Do not take life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and most importantly, enjoy your life!

Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

So, enjoy everyday as yours??
