Time to say bye bye....

Great friends are like amazing jeans: They offer incredible support and cover your rear when you need it the most. But also like denim, it's easy to get used to a pal who doesn't fit you like she should. Here are some subtle tip-offs that you ought to make yourself less available as your friend's personal therapist or ego-booster...or even move on altogether.

1. Looking back a few months, you realize you let all her calls go to voice mail, even if you were in a chatty mood, because you couldn't muster the energy for small talk.

2. Your boyfriend labels you a "hazmat area" after seeing her because you're so bitter.

3. Upon noticing her new purse, you obsess over the fact that she blew $200 you lent her years ago.

4. After a long talk with her, you eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's to take your mind off her neuroses.

5. If you have a differing opinion, you reply, "You're probably right." It's easier just to get her off the topic since she hates losing a debate.

6. She acts accessible but always says "superbusy...but totes wanna hang out soon!"

7. She tweaks her successes into digs, like "It's funny — you were the one guys used to hit on, but since I lost 10 pounds, they love me!"

8. After you tell her about a life change (e.g., a new job or apartment), you notice her "support" is tethered to concern or doubt ("It's just that I'm so worried about you").

9. When she's single, you detect she seems a bit pleased when you tell her about a bad date.

10. You sometimes walk away from a conversation with her feeling like a stripped car.

11. When you see her, you never quite get around to talking about you. But you could write a novel about the crappy boss and hellish landlord she yapped about for 90 minutes straight.

12. Her e-mail that asks "Wanna meet up?" means one thing: She must've split with her latest guy.

13. A friend in common mentions something personal you had told your pal in confidence — the third time this year alone!

14. You avoid talking about a life crisis because her reply is inevitably "You think that's bad...."

15. She rattles off a list of former pals who are "dead to her" for some betrayal and adds "But you'd never do that to me."

The Flasher II...

I woke up late today... I was suppose to go for a jog at City Park early enough to avoid the early sun... My bed was so inviting...the sound of the alarm was like my lullaby... I slept on... Until the sound of the alarm played for the third time... Sheesh!! Ok.. Ok... I'll wake up.. Darn!! the digital numbers on my handphone display showed 7:43am... I'm so late... it either i quit and continue my journey into the dream world... or spank myself up and get ready for a quick jog... I decided i would just take the course around my neighbourhood...at least i can save the travelling time to and fro from the park...and avoid the sun...

So, I got up and changed into my PJ's, tied my hair, grabbing my earphones off the telephone desk... I cant jog without music.. It sort of gets me pumped up to workout on the tracks... Just before i stepped out of the house.. A sudden flashback of the freak that stood in the back lanes yesterday played through my mind... I thought, "Would he be back petrify his victims again today?"... I glanced again at the back lane to where i saw him yesterday...no one.. I'd just take my chances then....

The neighbourhood was pretty peaceful this morning... I stopped my to pat my neighbour's dog before starting of my brisk walk.... As i walked, i pass the place where i saw the freak standing... my mind was playing games again with me... a hundred and one questions.... I looked at the time on my handphone... 8.30am.. Still to early i guessed, maybe he'll appear the same time yesterday...that was what i thought... Clearing my mind... i was determine to complete my exercise task of the day.....

After two and a half rounds, i did my warm downs... my eyes looking toward the back lane now and then... No one... I decided to wait a while longer..so i played with the neighbour's dog to past the time... 10 minutes past... i looked again towards the back lane... No one.. I supposed, the freak chose his spots carefully, not to repeat the same spot more then twice in order to reduce suspicion... I wonder who was his victim today...or did he get caught....

The Flasher...

At exactly 10.15am this morning, i accidentally became a victim of a flasher... you know.. a sex maniac or pervert who intentionally reveals or shows his private part.. you may think i'm a sexist but its a definate chance that a flasher is a guy... and i use the singular form of 'part' is coz guys have only one thing (physically) valuable enough to show...

Anyways, it started off with me coming back from pilates.. i parked my car at the porch and was making my way to close the gate... when suddenly, i noticed a guy.. (didn't see what race he was) waving at me... at a glance as i was closing the gate i noticed his motion of pulling down his pants.. Oh gosh!! how thankful am i not to look directly at him.. Well, i did think of what would could have happened if i looked directly at him since he was sort of waiting at the back lane of the houses just opposite my house... Trauma?? Some may think... Nah!! to me, it'll just be a trip down my biology lesson on human reproduction... just that now its 3D.. *if you know what i mean...wink...wink..

I couldnt keep quiet bout this.. i was a bit embarassing having to tell my dad what happened... It wasnt his usual... MR.COOL reactions though...He was a bit concern bout this maniac hanging around in our neighbourhood... My mission tommorrow... is to see whether this crazy fella still stops at the same place to look out for his victims... if he is... some means of action should be taken...

Event of the Year....

Birthday for me this year was really, really meaningful... I'd should say that it was the event of the year...Why?

1. My kindergarden-highschool friend wished me a month earlier on the same date of my birthday...

2. I slept early..

3. So many phone calls, messages that almost made my inbox explode...

4. I got extra $$$$...hehe..

5. I had two birthday cakes.. The 1st one was from my Gamelan team.. I really didnt see thatcoming... Thank God they loved the cake as much as i did....(loved it so much not to smear my face with it laa...) Phew!!..

6. I got my first eyebrow/ eyeshadow... haha.. Sound like I'm forced to learn to vandalise my face from now on... hehe...

7. I made my Malay friends put a 'tudung' on my head... I didn't look too bad though.. LOL!! But definately, that will be the 1st and last time I'd do that...

8. Johnathan gave me a wonderful birthday package... a bottle of Ralph Lauren perfume,Ferrero's, a self-bulit musical circuit (engineer to be maa...) and not to mention a hand made card...huu... Seriously it was so touching, i literally cried.... I think i'm going to take years to finish that bottle of perfume...jimat laa... things like that don't come always leh...

9.My best buddies Sharon and Qing...gave me my 2nd birthday cake..and a cute t-shirt... simply BFF la!!

P/S: Just wana say a big thanks to everyone who made my day a very special one.... Its more than i could ever ask for... Cheers!!

The Mirror....

When i look into the mirror....
All i see is.....an image of neither imaginations nor reality...

When i look into the mirror...
All i see is... the imperfections of my inner self...

When i look into the mirror...
All i see is... is the mask of who i'm not....

When i look into the mirror....
All i see is... everything that i wish i could be....

The mirror....
the one thing that makes you dissatisfied with who you are...
of what you've been designed for...
for what you've been chosen to be....
in the past... present and future...

The Panda's Best Friend.....

Have you ever seen a panda?? Yea...yea its this cute little chubby, furry animal that is black and white in color.... oh... have you noticed its eyes? i think its the most adorable thing ever... two black patches... no need for sunglasses...

Hmm... you might be wondering what do i mean by 'The Panda's Best Friend'... the panda's best friend is someone who is lacking sleep...and has eye bags so bad... it makes the eyes look like sunflower seeds.... (if you can think of anything smaller, sunflower seeds are bad enough).... So, if you don't intend to be 'The Panda's Best Friend'....

Try Avoiding:

1. Waking up to early to study for your exam which would start in less then 5 days...
2. Talking to long to your boyfriend who is half way across the globe...where there's a difference in time zone...
3. Getting the genetic combination for small eyes....
4. Playing DOTA...
5. Playing with liquid eyeliner....
   

'SHE'...

'She' really gets on my nerves sometimes....
'She' can be really inconsiderate....
'She' thinks she's miss-know-it-all...
'She' doesn't care bout how people feel....
'She' treats people unfairly...
'She' is a hypocrite...
'She' always talking bout high class stuff as if everyone can afford it....
'She' talks to others better then to the people who try so hard to be nice to her.....
'She' looks like she wants attention....
'She' is like wall...
'She's emotionless....
'She' lacks manners sometimes....
'She' talks better than she acts....
'She' makes my life miserable...

Falling Slowly....

I dont know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me
And I cant react

Games that never amount to more than their worth
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it known

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I cant go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And i'm painted black

You have suffered enough and warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing it loud

TWILIGHT... d Movie....

I'M HOOKED!!

I just finish reading the 1st three books of the Twilight series... in freaking 4 days.... Some achievement.... and thats not the best part yet... its coming out in a movie end of this year... i suppose 21 November... totally AWESOME... The novel itself has a very nice plot... full of surprises and suspense... i recommend anyone to read it... Its generally about romance between a mortal girl and an immortal guy... A VAMPIRE to be exact... I'm actually waiting to get a copy of the last book titled "BREAKING DAWN".... its the finale of the series... By the way, guess who's the main actor for "TWILIGHT" the movie.... its the same guy that acted as CEDRIC in Harry Potter: Goblet of fire...Robert Pattinson... LOL... good-looking but i felt he looks kinda "cacat-ted" on the poster... Yea... Yea... he suppose to look like an undead... but..he looks kinda... weird.. like porcelain... I just hope that he's acting wouldn't be a dissapointment to all the Twilight series fans out there... Well, there isnt any news bout any movies being made for the other books "NEW MOON", "ECLIPSE" and "BREAKING DAWN".... But i suppose that if the first movie is a hit, then they might actually continue the production... WOW!! just getting all jumpy bout it... Cant wait to watch it end of this year.... People... dont miss it...

TURkisH DeliGht..

I never imagined that i would actually befriend anyone from the middle-east... until one day... I was introduced to using SKYPE... I never had any good impressions about using it at first... but then, WTH.... i was about to lose my mind if i didnt find anything to do.... For your infomation, BOREDOM is a common syndrome here in college... If ur not active, (sports) you better make sure you have plenty of TV drama series, movies or music to keep your mind occupied... or else... you'd definately have a major case of BRAIN-Rust... Anyway, back to my story... I met this Turkish guy online.... I was a bit skeptical bout having a conversation with him.. I just played along... whats wrong with making new friends, I thought .. We did have a bit of communication break-down coz he wasnt really English educated... Gosh!! you have no idea how broken my English was just to have him understand me.... well, it was fun though... I asked him to teach me Turkish... it got even more interesting when he sent me some Turkish music... I had no idea that Turkish people were so updated... haha... *call me mean... Before that conversation, i always thought that the only people there were like farmers or something like that... ahem! ahem!... With all that he taught me, i sort of got a bit obsessed with anything Turkish... Oh, the other fun part is i did teach him a bit of Malay... and because we webcam, we sort of tried to speak in each other's language... haha... it was kinda fun and as usual i would normally screwed up most of the time...The best part is, i'm able to sing a turkish song now... its by some hot chick named DEMET AKALIN... darn... Well, if you'd imagine her wearing a 'JUBAH'.. haha... i would seriously advise you to never judge a book by its cover people... this mama here... is freaking hot... talking bout almost 99% of the nation is ISLAMIC... If she was in Malaysia, i think PAS might throw a fit.... *you know what i mean.. Oh... and there's this other guy singer... His name is TARKAN... Hmm.. lovely eyes... seriously... its the electrifying kind... By the way, for your information... the song 'KISS KISS' sang by Holly Vallance, is originally by him... Anyway, the story hasnt had an ending yet... as long as both of us are still friends... and there will always be something to talk about... Hmm.. i do have something bothering me though.. i just realized that SKYPE is really famous to folks from that part of the world... in 10 people you meet, 6 might just be from the middle-east... i guess thats the only way of internet misuse for them kua... Geez!!

Here's some TURKISH that i've learnt so far....

Seni Seviyorum - I Love You

Seni Ozluyorum - I Miss You

Nasilsin - How are you?

Arkadas - Friend

Tatil - Vacation

Mucize - Miracle

Anne - Mother

I'm In the Mood for Dancing.... I mean... Hip-Hop...

Step Up.... Step Up 2...

Argh!! I'm just so motivated to go for some lessons... The moves are just so cool... Maybe with my body weight and size.. i might end up in crutches... But...damn.. its just freaking awesome...I seriously love these two movies... i cant stop watching selected scenes over and over again.. then dream bout me doing those ultra cool moves.. Talking bout a wanabe... Secretly, i serious might actually go for classes... hehe...

Sista Power...

Yeap... Its 'The Charlie's Angels'...

Having two sisters is a total saver... (Maybe my parents would think otherwise)... You get to share almost everything.. like me and my elder sis, we share a cupboard of clothes... and because we are girls, we sort of understand each other better... Well on my part, its really good to be stucked in the middle... you get the best of both world's.. (minus the fact that you'd have to be the peacemaker when the 'War of The World's start)... there was a time when, we couldnt even sit down for a decent conversation... Gosh! Someone would have to set the bomb off.. No doubt, i did have my fair share off pillow fights though.. However, things have changed now... Things seem settled down now... Lydia (leader of the pack) is now in K.L working... meanwhile Anna (small fry) is now in uni... Time does fly...

The last time i remembered, Anna was still a...well small-fry..... but now she's as tall as i am now... Besides that, she use to be the 'Datin' and everyone would have to be her drebar... Just recently, i observed her as she took the wheels for a spin.. *chuckle... my, my... all grown up now.... I used to be very close to my elder sister...but then since i started studying away from home... we did grow apart for a while...she, busy with her life... and me, my own life... It felt really wrong, especially when 'crisis' struck... None the less, i guess i would say.. she has always made effort to be the 'BIG SISTA' helping out whenever she can...

Its amazing what maturity does to a person...at least for now there's a special bond between us... The trip to K.L with the both of them was simply the best.... Just lepak-king and doing what girls do best... SHOPPING!! (WhiteChicks Style)... With my sister as the Leader of the Pack, lots of makeup, perfume and clothes consultations... eveything was the 'green-light' for her... We had a good time... Just a shoutout to you both...you're both simply the best... Maybe we could take it up a level the next time we hang out...maybe a vacation somewhere? hehe... Just a thought...

Hands On...

Teaching...

The word itself is defined with dedication and passion... What is a teacher without those two elements? Answer is... zero... Two semesters of practical has opened my eyes to a lot of things... Being an apprentice is no joke people... seriously... too much to handle... Students and the syllabus...

Sometimes i wonder i was born to do this... Too much protocol sometimes... so many rule to follow... worst part is the evaluation... Seriously, it can get nasty... especially when you're the kind that needs at least 8 hours of sleep a day? For me, i'm teaching the Malay language... Sheesh! It can get grammar-ly brutal... Man!! its mass-braincells-murder... I wished i mastered that language like i did with English... that would really help.. But Duh!! Doesnt seem that way... My tongue gets twisted sometimes speaking to fast... not to say the 'language-cocktail' of BM & Eng... Gets crazy sometimes... i remembered how i have to prepare my 'script' for teaching... like the ones in a drama... or else the lecturers would go berserk with the 'mempertahankan bahasa' crap... honestly, who would enjoy a class which uses grammatically precised sentences? Darn! count me out...

Well, the last practical was great...but stressful though...
I did enjoy the working enviroment in the school i was teaching.. but the students were really a handful to handle.. *Kids these days....* None the less, the last day was really awesome... i had major...i mean major fun with my students... Since Raya was just around the corner, i decided to sing some raya songs with the kids... doing the unplug version of 'Selamat Hari Raya' by Saloma, was simply mind blowing for the kids... Just imagine, all off them sitting around singing along...Not just tat, the farewell the kids gave just touched my heart... hugs and tears... haha...
Maybe it just during practical that you get 'special-treatments' like that... but what the heck... just feels great... I have to admit... being a teacher doesnt leave you empty handed... I hope to be a good teacher...till i retire... that would at least 35 years from now... sigh... long long way to go...

The Beginning...

Finally....

I realise that blogging is the 'in' thing now... At first, i thought its just a waste of time... typing stuff online.. updating it... But then, everybody seems to on a 'blogging-spree'...
Well.. I'm trying to kill my boredom here... instead of growing unnecessary 'mushrooms'...
I might as well just start my own blog... So here i am... At least now i have a place to sharpen my writting skills... Gosh! it feels like a thousand years since i've written any essays... brains blunt now... but... i'll think of something though... Anyways, welcome to my blog.. do feel free to leave comments or just a small note when you've visited my blog... Appreciate it lots....
