GOODBYE 25, HELLO 26

I'll be 26 years of age in a month's time... well, actualy less than one month.

*

Let's see what's happening around lately. Err, the brother and the girlfriend adopted a kitten. The kitten is now growing fast and is a real rascal. Seriously.

So, that makes me the aunt of a irritating cat for a nephew. Eww... wonder how it'll be like with real human nieces & nephews.

I am sick of staying with my brother and the gf. It's the other way round. They are the ones staying with me. And don't give me peace of mind, with all that lovey-dovey-sticking together-I love you-can't live without you-i'm sad when you're sad crappy nonsense!

*

*

Other than that, there's my crappy job.

Enuff said.

*

I'm struggling to entertain my parents during the weekend, and leading a normal life by doing what I want, instead of what I'm suppose to do. I just wish I could off from work, for two days and escape to the cinemas, bookstores, lie in bed all the day, go shopping... oh! the list is endless!

But if there was one thing that I REALLY want to do... is go swimming at the DEEP end of a clean pool. I miss swimming so much!!! *sniff*

I managed to go watch P.Ramlee The musical (again!!) and enjoyed it. The show was much much much better this time, and easier t understand. The only horrendous thing to happen that night was... the stupid petrol hike that was announced at 5.30pm that evening.

No thanks to the sudden announcement, the entire road from Wisma Sime Darby at Jln Raja Laut to Istana Budaya after Bulatan Pahang was jammed with vehicles trying to scrap some last minute cheap fuel... and then waste fuel by being stuck in a jam.

Out supposedly ten minute ride turn into a 90 minute-traffic jammed-slow moving trip. In a nutshell, we missed 30 MINUTES of the show!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I almost cried!

Just yesterday, the ASTRO subscription got suspended. Hahahha... there's a first time for everything! I purposely didn't pay last two month's bill... to see how my squatters... I mean, my brother would react.

No action, wan! Only reaction.. like, "Did you know the ASTRO is out? You bayar tak?"

But seriously, he won't volunteer to help pay the bill. So, ok la. Leave it suspended until next pay day. :P

I'm checking out Taylor Swift's songs, and she is so pretty! Her voice and lyrics are meaningful... but it's about finding love, losing love and what's love. How cliche!

But it's still nice to hear her voice

WHERE'S THE PARTY?

Happy Birthday!

THE TRIPLE GODDESS

Simply explored Wiccan stories and pagan goddess, Sophie. Found out about the triple goddess.

NIGHT-OWL LAMENTS

It's 4.02 am. I've spent the last few nights this past fortnight, helping out to make a video for my parish's feast day on May 31st. Just helping out... me.

What was a request for one video, became two videos. And continous editing and improvements.
This was the second video, version 1. What do you think?

*
*
*
And this is Version 2.

"BLUE EYES"

Edited : The original video was suddenly pulled out from YouTube.com so I just decided to replace it with another.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Single-released from Within Temptation. I didn't even know this song existed, until Hekkate mentioned it.

Take a listen! Don't bother wondering why the video doesn't sync with the lyrics. Video created by WT's official Fan Club In Chile. Now that's part of Globalization, isn't it? A group from the Neatherlands, a fan club in South America, and a die-hard listener in South-East Asia.

Anyway, enjoy!

THROUGH MY LENSES : KUCHING

My Kuching Vacation photos. I haven't added any captions yet, but feel free to see what I saw. Just click on the picture below, and the go to "SLIDESHOW" when you're in the photo album.

Captions added. Read my stories as the pictures roll by. Remember the click at the SLIDESHOW button!

Kuching Vacation

PRINCE CASPIAN - SEEN AND LOVED IT!!

Only go to watch The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian if (1) you've read the entire series of books and loved it, (2) liked The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe movie, and (3) prefers plots and emotional drama over action scenes.

This movie ROCKS!!!

At last, my wait is over. I just HAD to catch the movie on the premier day, after work. Bought the tickets three days prior to show date and ensured everyone at home got back from work on time, just so we could go see it!

Every moment and every scenery, no matter how small the details were in the book (like the part of the Witch's trickery) was portrayed beautifully in the movie. Check out all the shooting locations! The best scenery was probably the sea coast, by the ruins of Castle Cair Paravel. Ooooh... the waters were so blue... as blue as those at Perhentian.

Sigh! Perhentian Island is calling me again.

My favourite anticipation was Reepicheep's appearance! "He is sooo cute!". You'll find out who valiant Reepicheep is, soon enough!

GLIMPSE OF KUCHING

Kuching vacation trip, from May 1st to 5th. Amazing!

IN ORDER

Well, the blog is functioning in order again... thank goodness.
Unfortunately, my brain and my body isn't.
Sick. Recuperating now.

I like this picture. Because it's a clash of culture. Between French couture and Italian arts.
This was originally a billboard poster for a French fashion label. They decided to advertise the new couture in an a-la Leonardo Da Vinci's famous Last Supper fresco.

You see, while the fashion label thought it was cool to change the sexes in the poster and give it a sexy twist, the rest of the artisan world thought, "WHAT the BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING?! That's sacrilege!"

(I like using that word... sacrilege. Watch HBO's Rome Season1. It's used 9 times per episode. Seriously.)

The fashion label claimed that art was just a portrayal of another person's view, and not the actual sacred act itself. Which I think it's actually correct.

In the end, the billboard poster had to be taken down. Another lesson in advertising. Even in the modern Western world.

Check out the half nude guy. He's got his hands on one girl, and his legs in another.

SOMETHING BAD

Something is VERY, VERY wrong with my blog. I've two posts already... but it's not up in the main page!

Arrrgghhhhhhhhhh!!

I knew I shouldn't have left it alone for too long. Now betul-betul jadi STONE.

IT'S ME AGAIN

Hello world, it's me again.

I just came back from vacation and have lots to tell... or more like, LOTS of photos to share.
We keep posting.

oooOOXXxxXXOOooo

GIRLZ JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

A Picture contains a thousand words... so, what are you thinking?

STROM ARISING

Remember that horrible storm that swept KL on April 1st? It was right after lunch time. All of a sudden, it turned dark... very dark.




And when the clouds rolled away finally, the rain poured...

CHICK FLICKS FOR ME

I went to watch 27 Dresses today. I have been waiting fo so long! for it to hit our cinemas. Despite the poor reviews about the chick-lit movie, I still think it's great! Yeah, great to moan over how lonely I've been. About being the maid and never the bride.

Katherine Heigel is simply mesmerizing... I love her voice and her hair!! But she's really different, when it comes to being dramatic.

And who can say no to James Mardsen.. Mmmmm. The very same guy who played "Cyclops" (X-Men), "Corny Collins" (Hairspray) & "Prince Edward" (Enchanted). One grin of a smile and my heart drops.

Unfortunately, 27 Dresses might not appeal to everyone, unlike The Devil Wears Prada, from the same director. Prada may have been about a straight-girl being whirled about in the fashion industry and how she learnt to step in and step out with attitude.
27 Dresses only makes a great Girls'-Night-at-home movie due to the straight fact : happy endings are the stuff of fictions. Like Enchanted. But it did give one good lesson ; learn to speak out and stop being a doormat. Do what you want to do! And stop making excuses.

So, I had a good night.

But there was a little bit more!! The trailers for Definitely, Maybe and Made of Honor was out. My next must-see-flick was Definitely, Maybe since I checked out the trailer last month. Ryan Reynolds!!!! My hero from Two Guys, a Girl and A Pizza Place comedy series. Call me shallow but I still need some fantasy! Definitely, Maybe is brought by the same people who made Love, Actually (a MUST see!!) and Bridget Jones (yes, a must-see too!).

My favourite part was when the daughter asks her dad, "What's the boy-word for slut?"

"You know... they haven't invented one yet!" ;P

As for Made of Honor here's Patrick 'McDreamy' Damsey playing the-best-friend-but-not-the-boyfriend" role. Watch the scene with the priest!

TEA WITH DADDY

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.

My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!'

My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.Then she says, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that a 2 1/2 year old baby can reach to get water is the toilet?'

Updates... Just Me Checking In

Life's a Dance... so watch where you're stepping on. How dainty and graceful your steps may be, people will still trot on your feet.

Hello world.... it's just me. Yup, I'm still alive. Nothing much has happened. And nothing much changed either. I'm complaining about life's dullness and routines.

But what I do hate is being constantly picked on at the office. It's always MY fault. It's always OUR Team to be blamed. We tried and tried to improve, believe me! But the funny thing is... the more we try our best, the more mistakes conjure up!!

So, what's the use of trying???!

I'm just waiting for June to arrive, and then, it'll be chao, babe!!
Wish me luck, world! It's time for a total change.

On a lighter note... I'm almost ready for my upcoming trip!! Shhhhh... it's still a secret!

THE ISLANDS ARE CALLING

Nostalgic memories of island vacations are coming back.

Because of the past weeks' airfare promos by AirAsia and MAS. And also because work is stressing me out.

Perhentian... will I see your beautiful blue waters again? Or maybe, I'll experience Kuching! Sigh... I dream of beaches and sleeping under the trees, enjoying the breeze...

I dream...
