Attitude Is Everything !!

Once a while, when I feel like I need a good laugh and a pick me upper flick, I'll watch this DVD that is in my collection .... The main message : ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING !! ... and uh, you'll never see Wesley Snipes in the same way again :D

below are some scenes from the movie ....

The Intro


How The Queens Got Together

For Someone in The Middle Of The Nite

It's early Saturday morning and she is on my mind ... I wonder how she is doing, but I know she is doing okay .... the song below will always be her song ....



.. it's all about choices ....

In The Memory Of Susanna Jafri Tay

I met her formally first time on Sept 6, 2003. We were introduced earlier through a friend and began texting each other before the meeting.

She was an interesting person... we shared a love for Indon teen movies .. we saw Ada Apa Dengan Cinta, Eiffel I'm In Love and Ungu Violet .. we would talk about various stuff. The more I knew about her ... the more I could sense that she was a kind soul who had some bad luck when it came to personal matters. In spite all of that, she loved her family ( especially her dad ), more than they will ever know, she was a great friend to her friends and a great colleague ....

Getting the news from my friend Zylia this morning and checking it in the papers was a shock. We drifted apart since early last year, due to personal differences. Our YMs were brief .. she became secretive and didn't say much. When she got married, it was through a friend that I found out about it. It was a hush hush matter.

My regret is that I didn't follow up on her ... I wanted her to have her space with her hubby ... now, I googled her name .. and got to know a few things .. she had transferred to Skudai and she was 7 mths pregnant with their first born. A wave of sadness and guilt is passing over me as I am writing this post. We had some really good times .. and I counselled her a lot when she texted/called me about her problems.

One of my fondest memories with her was the LOTR Trilogy marathon at TGV Sunway Pyramid that I went with her and her friends ... we had a good time and I loved the experience. And the Indonesian movies we shared..

Susan, saya dan rakan2 lain akan merindui mu ... keceriaan and semangat happy go lucky mu akan kami ingati. :-) ..terima kasih kerana menerima saya and memahami saya.... it is so true, when they say that you only miss someone after they are gone ....

AlFatihah pada Allahyarhamah Susanna Jafri Tay dan suami Johari Maswari.

Lagu di bawah ditujukan khas buat beliau .... InsyaAllah, we will meet again... I know you are happy now, where you are .....

One Sweet Day - Boyz II Men n Mariah Carey

[B II M:]
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Ayyy

[MC:]
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC: Together]
One sweet day
[MC:]
Evetually I'll see you in heaven...

[B II M:]
Darling, I never showed you (I never showed you)
Assumed you'd always be there (I thought you'd always be there)
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
([MC:] But I always cared)
And I miss the love we shared

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC: Together]
One sweet day
[MC:] Eventually I'll see you in heaven

[B II M:]
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
[MC:]
Yeah
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC:] Together
One sweet day

[all:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
[MC:] Together
One sweet day

[MC:] Sorry I never told you (oooh)
[all:] All I wanted to say

What Might Have Been

Below is a video one of my favorite ' could have been ' ... a good female friend is getting married soon .... some times, I wonder .. what might have been ... do you wonder ?

Listen To Your Heart

This song was buzzing in my head the whole day. :-) All the while I was attending an IBM conference ;-)

I guess it's because for the past few days, I have been listening to my heart .. and my heart has been telling me things, for real this time.

Sometimes, when you really listen to your heart .... things become clearer. Whatever lessons you have learned, will also become clearer. I don't regret the lessons I learned for the past 5 years, as it has set me down the path I am now....

Yes, l n g's ... a new course will set soon .. not immediately, but coming soon .... anyway, as a treat for you guys, I am going to give you THREE video versions of the song ... so enjoy it ..

1. Original video
2. Concert Video .. my favorite, as shown below :-)
3. Live Performance Video

Gym Rat Wannabe + Ipoh Mali

Dear body,

Remember this name .... Technogym .. for the next 3 months, yours truly would be really well acquainted with their machines.

Does anyone wanna work it ? ;-)

Check this song below .. nak dgr, pi sini ...

Ipoh Mali - Point Blanc with Jac Victor

(Intro)
Yo, this song’s close to the heart, it’s my hometown baby, representin’/Ipoh where you at?

(Chorus)
Ipohmali Ipoh Ipohmali/ I sing it loud and proud that’s who I be/
Cos’ small town dreams do come through/ so stand up and represent where you from too boo
Uh/ Ipohmali Ipoh Ipohmali/
I sing it loud and proud that’s who I be/
Cos’ small town dreams do come through so stand up and represent where you from too boo

(Verse 1)
Yo I was born and raised in a place/ where the hottest women come from /
Ipoh city/ that’s where I’ll always belong/ Don’t get me wrong yo/
I’m KL lite now/ Its just that my roots stay strong/
Growin’ up as a Ipoh chink kid representin’ it/ Ipoh Garden Eastside yo was the hood I was kickin’ it/
I grew up poor but I had the riches memories/ Wooley Food Centre rockin’ arcades religiously/ And after school/ me and my crew/ DFS would be-boy on the sidewalks in front of Fair Park shops/ And as my story drops/ I recollect I never had them fancy kicks, fancy clothes all I had was Hip Hop/
And peer pressure left me with a scar/cos' when kids were rockin’ Airwalks/I was rockin’ Bata/Back then/ I had nothin’ but a dream to be a rap star/
Now who would have thought this Ipoh chink would get this far?

Chorus 1x

(Verse 2)
Yo I’m a Ipohmali chinaman/ I represent/ small town kids havin’ big dreams so understand/ When I spit this rhyme yo’ I’m spittin’ it right/
My flows divine and miraculous givin’ the blind sight, haha
Back in the day circa ‘95/ In St. Michaels Church where I prayed for my life to get better/
So I can be mah’ family’s provider/ the answer/ was to audition for Poetic Ammunition’s replacement rapper/I dropped the beatbox blew Yogi B away/ got the record deal/ had a choice to make/ leave for KL or do I stay?/ Cos’ everybody sayin’ then bein’ a rapper don’t pay/ From Bingotown to Greentown I was strollin’/ contemplatin’ what mah’ life’s future would be holdin’/ Everybody I knew was all against it/ they said 16 yearold Ipoh kid will never make it/ But I/ persevered/ A boy with no fear/ I had hopes as high as Hotel Excelsior/ For years I proved my critics wrong/ that’s why I wrote this song to tell the world where I’m from cos’ I’m…….

Chorus 1x

(Bridge)
We Ipohmali baby here to show y’all what we got/
Never underestimate yourself/ cos’ you can make it/ no matter where you are/
It ain’t where you’re from but how you make it to the top/
Cos’ we are Ipohmali baby, here to show y’all what we got

To all mah’ peeps all down at JB/ Throw your hands up if y’all hear me/
To all mah cats down at KL city/ Holla at me if y’all hear me/
To all my pheng ew across the sea now/ Penang khia are y’all still down?/
And everybody across the nation/ you can make it just be patient/


(Verse 3)
Now flash forward to the present/ mah’ life at this point/
Nobody knows mah’ real name/ they all call me Point/
I’m an industry veteran/ 10 years in the game/ 3 LPs/ now that’s evidence/
I seen it all/ the ladies, the groupies, the fancy parties, award ceremonies, glory and all that money (money)/ But I learned the hard way that fame came with a price/
For Point Blanc to be more famous than Ipoh chicken rice/

(Outro singing)
Ipoh, Ipoh, if y’all afraid go call the popo/
It’s your boy Point lettin’ you know/ the hottest chink hollerin’ from Ipoh/
(Repeat 1x)

(Outro adlib)
Voyeur Records! It ain’t where you’re from/ its where you at/
So be proud of where you’re from baby, cos’ I am/

I Have Sinned

Dear people, I have done something which I repeatedly said and thought I would not do. I have succumbed to the temptation of the person below.

6 Weirdness of Ome

Tagged by my friend cookie, here are six weird things about me ....

1) Time Management

I always expect people to be on time, but I sendiri ada problem. Go figure ! :P

2) Multiple Thinking

I can think multiple things at one time... wifey says I think too much ;-)

3) Championship Manager addict

I have been CM since Championship Manager 2, but only till Championship Manager 03/04, the last CM that was produced by Sports Interactive, before they left and made Football Manager. I guess I am a sucker for the CM old version. I have spent sleepless nights ;-) playing that game. CM addicts, u know what I mean. The chosen clubs are from clubs that usually play the same season as the Premiership - England, France, Spain, Italy. ;-) I tell ya, playing CM gives you a really good feel, in managing a football club.

4) Loves boybands

This is my weakness and still is. Though boyband nowadays are not that good ;-) It started with NKOTB, my still fav boyband of all time :D .... Westlife, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, Five .. ah, whenever it's karaoke time , I can still belt it out, with emotion lagi :D

5) Used to read a lot of Malay romance novels

I used to read a lot of Alaf 21 Malay novels.. I actually have a stack of them, which I read and reread. ( I am kind of jiwang in that way ). Among the authors whose books I have are Anis Ayuni and Aisya Sofea .. those who read know who they are ...

6) Have travelled all over Peninsular Malaysia on a kapchai :D

Yes sir ... I have done that .... during the late 90s .. I was your original easy rider mat rempit :D my favorite journey would be the ride I took from Johor Baru ( JB ) to Kota Bharu ( KB ). Oh yeah, did I mention that I was on my own ? and it was a Kriss 110 ?

I am not going to tag anyone lah to follow this stuff , dah le tu weii ... :-)

Ghost Rider Penance Stare

Ghost Rider

I saw Ghost Rider a during the Chinese New Year and I would say that it is a pretty cool entertainment especially if you are a biker. That mean machine he rides is a beauty.


nak satu :-)

I am sure that some have seen the movie or the comic, but for me, the cool thing that he has is the Penance Stare, as was so nicely demonstrated in the movie ;-) Have you ever felt of giving one to the person(s) you hate and despise. Admit it, you do ....

"...the Penance Stare. When in close combat, he locks eyes with his victim and makes them feel every pain that individual has ever inflicted on anyone in their lifetime... ", quoted from Ghost Rider Wiki.


I would like to do so against all the bullies during my school and college years. Yes, sir, I do.

Who would you like to give it to ?

What Might Have Been N Free Ezine

I wanted to write about something else, but this post by Cookie is a good read, and reminded me of the song below ..

What Might Have Been by Little Texas

Sure I think about you now and then
But its been a long, long time.
Ive got a good life now, Ive moved on
So when you cross my mind....

Chorus:
(i, so, and) try not to think about
What might have been
cause that was then
And weve taken different roads
We cant go back again, theres no use giving in
And theres no way to know
What might have been.

We could sit and talk about this all night long,
And wonder why we didnt last
Yes, they might be the best days we will ever know
But well have to leave them in the past.

- Chorus -

That same old look in your eyes
Its a beautiful night
Im so tempted to stay
But too much time has gone by
We should just say goodbye
And turn and walk away.
Chorus
No, well never know
What might have been

--------

I guess all of us have memories of childhood which we still cherish and do not want it to be tarnished in any way. Cookie was being honest about this, but the person in her post, still hung on.

I'd be honest. When I think about my past crushes, this song would play on and on... and it kind of got me down. But, the moment I made the decision to move on, eventually my darling wife came along .... and god willing, she is the real thing :-)

Changes + SaifulSham Internet Seminar + 7 Dollars

As you can see, this blog has changed a bit. I have added some links and cleaned up the design. I do hope that you like it.

1) Internet Seminar

Today, I attended a internet seminar titled " Rahsia Buat Duit Di Internet " , by www.saifulsham.com. Folks, I really recommend that you guys attend this seminar, run by two enterprising Malaysian youths, who are in their early twenties, but who have done well in the Net biz. This ain't no quick rich scam. They teach you about the Net biz and the tools to do so. So, if you are interested in doing online business, this chaps are the real deal.

Why should you attend ?

- conducive environment
- tonnes of materials given
- affordable fees
- all questions answered


* yours truly got a back seat, as masuk lambat ....


the ladies who were in my table .. cute eh .. *adoi* .. maaf sayang :-)


a group pix after the seminar .. the middle two guys were the facilitators and make up SaifulSham.com

On the sidebar of my blog is a link to their course, please do sign-up. Satisfaction guaranteed :-)

2) 7 dollars

Some of you may have heard about this guy's project. Yes, it's true. He is selling an ebook for 7 dollars. I am not going to beat around the bush and say that his ebook will solve the world's problems. But, his ebook is very interesting and valuable for anyone who loves writing, wants to make money from it and loves the Net.

Again, this is the 7 Dollar Ebook Investment, as I like to call it :-)

---------

So, this is one of the directions that yours truly is going. It's going to take a lot of work and patience and smarts, but I can and will do it ;-)

Ome boleh !!

Evolution

I have been busy for the past few days. Fyi, some of my new ventures demanded a bit of my time. It is a bit too soon to reveal what they are. Suffice to say, that some of it will be noticeable in this and the other blogs.

CNY was good. ;-) Worked on some matters. I am taking baby steps, but it's all good.

GONG XI FA CAI to my Chinese viewers :-)

Kasih Kita

A classic Malay song for your continous Valentine celebrations :-)

This song below is a hidden gem from Aishah.

To my dear wife, I dedicate this to you ...

Artis : Aishah
Tajuk : Kasih Kita

Telah lama ku lalui
Perjalanan penuh ranjau
Dan berduri
Kini tiba cahaya cinta suci
Menerangi
Diriku yang sepi

Meskipun ada yang mengeji
Memang lumrah insan di dunia ini
Hasad dengki
Usah didengarkan
Bersabarlah
Menempuhi

Pertama kali
Aku bahagia
Kau menerima diri ini
Insan biasa
Punya kelemahan
Dalam menempuhi
Cabaran

Aku juga tak mengharapkan
Intan permata
Kemewahan
Cinta yang murni
Keikhlasan hati
Semoga berkekalan
Kasih kita

Hati berkuntum harapan
Agar hidup takkan sendiri lagi
Doa restu dari yang tercinta
Fahamilah
Cinta mulia

Valentine Day

My Valentine message to all you today, courtesy of Garfield ;-)

Especially dedicated to the couple :-) Can't wait for the wedding !!

To Be Alive

It's Valentine Day in a few days time .... ;-)

For lovers, ah ..hehe ... day for romance and stuff like that ... ;-) ... but, a few days go, there was a moment where I remembered how a past crush can bring some bittersweet. For the record, D got married late last year, and I am happy for her.

It was around late 90s, and we were far apart.. I was in KL, and she was the east coast ... and I kinda liked her.. So, one time, I burned her a cd with the songs below ..

1. Puji2an - Raihan
2. Tiada Lagi Cinta - Ruffedge
3. To be alive - Def Leppard
4. I want it that way - BSB
5. Dia - Cokelat
6. Somewhere I Belong - Linkin Park
7. Nirwana - Gigi
8. Sometimes - Britney
9. I see your smile - Gloria Estefan
10. Kisah Klasik Masa Depan - Sheila On 7
11. Listen - Johnny Hates Jazz
12. Kangen - Chrisye

I think there was a theme somewhere ... but cannot remember la which one ... The one song that reminds me of her whenever I hear is the song below ...

To Be Alive - Def Leppard -

I know you don't believe it
Like I believe it
Oh no, it's not your fault
You sit alone inside a room
Wait for the world to come to you
They never do

It must be something that you can't let go
It hurts that you won't let me know
Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help to be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive

And then in conversation
I love the way you mention
Nothing's ever gone your way
With a hammer in your hand
You spell out a master plan
We never learn

It must be somebody holding your heart
Something that tears us apart
Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help to be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive

And I don't think that it's right
To let love pass by
Any time of life
It's good to be alive

Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help to be myself
Yes, every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help what I feel
But it sure feels real
I wanna hold on to this moment
Cause babe it sure feels right
To be alive
To be alive
To be alive

Note : On one fine afternoon, on a bus from KT to KL, I listened to this song over and over, while reading this novel :-) ..
=====

However, later .. she told that she was in a relationship with someone, even before she met me ... hehe .. it was frustrating ..but I am a good sport ... so okay la ... I didn't regret a single thing
In the end, you give your best shot. If it doesn't work, at least you knew it then ;-) ... that is my advice to the love lorn out there ... take it from me, a veteran of lost loves, who has finally found his happiness ... "D

To D, thanks for the memories ;-)

Kyur 4 Da Itch

How do you do, amigos ? ;-)

Do you know that when you have so many things running .. you tend to lose the track of time :D ..

yeps, with MPL having two siblings .. TMOP and PNFL .. I have to be churning ideas for articles for three blogs. ;-)

Also, with my personal ( family ), work and other activities now going on ... I feel like I am in a spin, but .... I like it .. at least, I can see that I am figuring out AND working things out ... that AND is an important word :-)

A note on the other activities ... I plan to go out of my comfort zone ;-)

Another update is that yours truly is finally wearing a graduation gown this coming May. After four years of working through, I am getting the Masters that I studied for, albeit delayed for a year ...... anyway, it is about 70% confirmed, but need to settle the details ( pendaftaran, pembayaran, etc )

The title of this post is one of my favorite upbeat songs, by Linkin Park. The video features b-ballers, tu yg lagi syok .. terasa2 je nak twist and turn like them folks :-)

Post from PDA

As promised yesterday ....

ok ok long promised updates ...

fyi, I have been busy with various matters.. work n personal ..

Work

My work is getting busy n more interesting. The way I c it, here I have to prove myself again. No biggie, in fact, I welcome the challenge. Let me shine as who I am, not what I am ... *read between the lines* ..

What I want to do is work better .. I have been checking out this series that ran in Fortune Magazine, in March 2006. Various corporate figures were highlighted and from what is wrote, a few conclusions, for me, at least
- each have their own way / style
- discipline in following is important
- planning is also important

We tend to know this, but sadly the follow throughs are what lacks. I m guilty of 'em myself. So, it is up to me to follow what I have read, or join the have nots.


Personal

As some of you might know, middle of 2006, I got married, n middle of this year, god willing, we will become parents. Right now it is kind of surreal, but as my wife gets bigger, the evidence is right there. Gue nak jd father soon! *gulp* ... biar bener ... I am taking it slowly as it comes la... I am excited yet nervy abt the whole thing ... say, any recommended readings for father to be ah ?

My strong memory allows me to remember a lot of things. And some of em are things I don't want to remember. I have been working for the past years on letting go.. recently, through this my readings on NLP, I learnt a technique which helps a bit.

The technique is called association. My lingering trauma of certain events is due the association of audio n video of these events, meaning that I can still remember the visuals n sounds of the event. It suggested that these associations be changed.

What I did was mentally turning off the sound when the flashbacks began. It did help in negating the pain. The next step now is to mentally shelve the images, which I have not done yet..

Other personal notes
- I plan to publish a few blogs; now working on some ideas..
- I am hopping on the e-commerce bandwagon ;-) .. still working the details..
- and a work related certification that I plan to achieve by end of the year ...

it looks daunting for all of the above.. but I will do it. No wonder a lot of the high achievers, they can do so many things, as they are stingy with their time. Yep, masa itu emas .. n failure to plan is planning to fail ..

AN EXCELLENT 2007 TO ALL READERS ;-)

Short Notes

Hey there , peeps ..

I have a post all written up but it's stuck in my PDA. I'll post it soon ...

Johor Floods

It is quite a tragedy to be honest ... not once, but twice in a row .. when it comes to all banjir disasters, usually, Johor is the least known state to suffer, but this time, it seems to be a major problem.

Datuk Shahrizat called for volunteers, but the response was lookwarm ... this post summed it perfectly. In Malaysia, I noticed when disasters occur, it is usually, the unknown heroes, the common joe ( Ali, Ah Chong, Muthu, et al ), who do the hard work to help. The VIPs are there for the photo op. When the good times roll, it is only the VIPs who get limelight.

Forgive me for being cynically about all of this ... but I guess this is life ...

World Outlook

As various shenanigans are going around the world, I ask myself .. why would you want to bring another jr. in this world ? Then, it occurred to me .. oh well, maybe if I raise my kids and family alright .. it will contribute to a better world :-) ... sounds idealistic huh ? ..

Blogs

My Pet Life will also have some new siblings ... coming soon :-)

Updates N New Blog

Byk sgt stuff ... will update later eh ..

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 to all readers of Pet Life :-)

Tq for visiting, reading and commenting !

- The real Ome -

A New Beginning

Hey, peeps ..

A bit slow in the updates.

L n Gs, check out the pic sebelah ni .. see if u can figure it out :D ..

in the highlighted box, that's the future junior .. due in mid 2007 ... all I can say now is " Wooo.."

New Work Place

Started work in a new place yesterday ... now my office is in the TTDI, a bit further away from KL. I am okay, but kind of nervous still, as this is a new place, but InsyaAllah, I will do fine .. 3 months probation though .... doakan gue okay ya ....

2007 will be very2 interesting ....

This Heart

HATI INI - Nabil -

Ku lihat kau berlegar-legar di kaki lima,
Inginku tegurmu tapi terasa curiga,
Mungkin ekspresimu nanti tak sepertiku harapkan,
Adakah kau merinduku sepertiku merindumu..

Tanpa aku sedari, cinta pun mula berputik,
Mulanya dari teguran "boleh kita berkenalan?"
Tanya "apa nama, buat apa, nak ke mana?"
Hati rasa berdebar...

Janganlah hancurkan hati ini..
Ku hanya mencuba meluahkan perasaan..
Usahlah ragui hati ini...
Kerna kau satu-satunya gadis yang ku cinta selamanya...

I got home dat day, feeling so tired and in pain,
I wana call u but u need your rest, u might feel the same..
Something's wrong with me, i can't seem to find myself...
(U know what?) I think I'm crazy over you...

I called my friend and asked her,
"What should i do, what should i say?"
Cos everytime i hear your voice, you'll throw me miles away..
My cellphone suddenly rings...your name is on the screen...

Janganlah hancurkan hati ini..
Ku hanya mencuba meluahkan perasaan..
Usahlah ragui hati ini...
Kerna kau satu-satunya gadis yang ku cinta selamanya...

for her ... ;-)

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will only have one true love. You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't? You expect a lot from your lover - you want the full package. You tend to be very picky. In fights, you are able to walk away and calm down. You are able to weather the storm. A break-up usually comes as a shock to you. You always think things are going well.

Your Love Life Secrets, Revealed

Ome - err, yeah .. a bit spot on. Tq sayang for accepting me :-)

Your World View

You are a happy, well-balanced person who likes people and is liked by others. You question whether many conventional views on morality are valid under all circumstances. You are essentially a content person. Sometimes, you consider yourself a little superior. You are moral by your own standards. You believe that morality is what best suits the occasion.

What Is Your World View?

Ome - err really ah ? But, I tend to judge stuff based on moral perceptions..but in this world, morality is a double edged sword eh ?

You Have Low Self Esteem 60% of the Time

While you sometimes feel good about yourself, you tend to struggle a little with self esteem issues. It's not about changing who you are, it's about accepting your faults. You just need to be less critical and demanding of yourself!

How is Your Self Esteem?

Ome - NOT 60% but ... I am a bit too critical of meself at times ....

Updates

Dear blog.

It has been a long time since I posted. A good friend asked where I have been ... my simple excuse was I have been very2 preoccupied ,... tp, I have been going around the blogworld ... so I am not out of touch la sangat

1) Raya Trip

Raya was a trip to the Mrs kampung in kota bharu, kelantan. Folks, whatever you have heard abt the infamous Kelantan jam .. I can confirm that it is all true .. penat la ... i drove 9 hrs to KB, using the usual KL - Gua Musang - KB road ... balik, I went the roundabout way thru K. Tganu ..and it took 12 hours ! Luckily, it's a bi-yearly thing... :-) On the good stuff, loads of good Kelate food ( manis2 wehh ... ), met nice2 relatives... and received a few kain pelikat ( I am told it's a Kelate newly wed tradition ;-) ) ..cool !!

2) Final IS Paper

I have finished my final IS paper for my Masters finally !! It was overdue for about a year .. after the hee haw n whatevers, I managed to get it done. As usual, it was a last minute job, but I am not complaining, as it was my decisions that lead me to the situation. Bring on the convo next year :-)

3) Final Month

It is my final month at my current firm. I have to thank em for teaching me a lot, but I have to move on. And event that I have seen in the past weeks, confirmed my decision. The cool thing s that it is here, I have learned new work methods and now where my future is, albeit, a surety this time. Learnt a lot about myself, especially ... so I can't thank the firm enough...

4) Open Houses

What is Syawal without open houses ? This is a Malaysian tradition that should be cherished ... when it comes to food, Malaysia is king :-) .. I propose that the Tourism Malaysia 2007 says, Malaysia, Food Truly World !!! :-)

5) Congrats, to Acat n Cookie

The couple who inspired abt a year are getting hitched next year InsyaAllah :-) I am so happy for them. I met Cookie once and see her as a warm, jovial person, so Acat jaga dia baik2 okay :P ... hehe, she did ask abt the issue of going thru it again, after the previous hurt. I can talk long abt it .. but in the end, it can be summarized from these line in Good Will Hunting...

" You're not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspense, this girl you've met she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other. That is what intimacy is all about. You can know everything in the world, but the only you know about this is by giving it a shot "

so, cookie .. give acat a shot, .. the man is definitely so in to you ( Mcm lagu SWV la pulok .. )

6) The Mongolian Murder

It can only happen here and still gets screwed up in its execution. To the UTK trainers, update your syllabus with loads of CSI, Alias and Gilmore Girls viewings please ..... (err, Gilmore Girls was to lighten themselves up ) ..

7) UMNO 2006

**deleted to excessive political subjective rant*** please refer to the daily news, if u love 'em, or Malaysiakini or Malaysia-Today, if u are on the other side.

8) Something is On The Way

And that's all I am saying .. for now ;-)

Salam Aidilfitri

To all my readers,

SALAM AIDILFITRI N HAPPY DEEPAVALI

a bit lambat ..maaf ye ...

Raya stories + jawapan Cookie, next post :D

Late Night Thoughts

A few things to say, as Ramadhan is nearly over and Syawal is closer ..

1) Marriage 101

After 3 months of marital life, I salute those who have been for married for years :-) it's true folks ... it is hard work.. byk sabar2 and give and take I tell ya .. but, it is the little things that make it worthwhile .. :-) a stroke of the face in the end of a tired day .. mcm kata Sean in Good Will Hunting ;-)

2) Audio motivation
Recently for the past few months, I have been burning some of the free motivation mp3s that I have in my pc and listening to them, while I am driving. Alone of course ;-) And I have come to a common conclusion that it works as you listen to the messages over and over again. It is the simple messages which ring true and when you listen to it repeatedly, it inspires you to action yourself.. it works folks, but in the end, the choice is up to you, to do it or not :-)

3) December Comes

I am joining another firm in December. A positive movement in my career, expanding what I am doing in my current firm. I am happy to leave, but I thank my current place for making me a better professional. But, in order to grow, I have to move on. As a professional, I will do my job until end of November. Also, I know what is the major concept of my career . it is CRM. The details are still hazy, but the foundation is there.

------------


I am happy right now.

Life Changes + Solid

1) Life Changes

In the past few months ever since I settled down, things have changed ..some things remained the same ... I have been reading Jack Canfield's The Success Principles .. still not finished yet though...but, the principles in the book are timeless and it works. And I am implementing it one by one in my life right now ... highly recommended :-) ...

Principle No 1 : Take 100 % Responsibility For Your Life

2) Solid

As an ode to this man and lady :-) .. the song below .. they were my inspiration when I was at a low point personally, abt a year ago .. and rasa2nya, ada berita baik kot in the future, kan guys ? ;-)


SOLID - Ashford n Simpson


And for love’s sake, each mistake, ah, you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play
We build it up and build it up and build it up

And now it’s solid
Solid as a rock
That’s what this love is
That’s what we’ve got, oh, mmm…

Solid (Oh)
Solid as a rock
And nothing’s changed it (Ooh)
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh…oh…oh…ah…

You didn’t turn away
When the sky went gray
Somehow we managed
We had to stick together (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

You didn’t bat an eye
When I made you cry
We knew down the line
We would make it better (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

And for love’s sake, each mistake, ah, you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play
We build it up and build it up and build it up

Now it’s solid
Solid as a rock [Ooh]
That’s what this love is (Oh…oh…)
That’s what we’ve got [Oh…oh…] (Yes, it is)

Solid
Solid as a rock
And nothing’s changed it [Oh…]
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh…oh…oh…ah…

Gone with the wind
Another friend
Got in between
Tried to separate us (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

Oh, knock-knock on wood
You understood
Love was so new
We did what we had to (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

And with that feeling we were willing to take a chance
So against all odds, we made a start
We got serious (Ooh), this wouldn’t turn to dust
We build it up and build it up and build it up

And now it’s solid (Ooh)
Solid as a rock
That’s what this love is (Oh)
That’s what we’ve got, oh (Oh, oh)

Solid (Yes, it is)
Solid as a rock (Ah…)
And nothing’s changed it (Ooh)
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot , hot , hot

Solid (Oh)
Solid as a rock (You know it) [Well] (You know it, baby)
Solid
Solid as a rock (Lovin’ me, lovin’ me, oh)

Solid (Don’t leave me, baby)
Solid as a rock [Well, well, why, why] (Oh…)
Solid
Solid as a rock (Every day it gets sweeter, now) [Ooh]

Solid [You know I like it]
Solid as a rock (Good, good, well, it’s good, good, good)
Solid (Solid, solid, solid, solid, solid)
As a rock

Mantra Hari Ini

The Prayer - Andrea Bocelli with Celine Dion -

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know.
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way.
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.

La luce che tu dai
Nel cuore restera
A ricordarci che
L'eterna stella sei.

I pray we'll find your light,
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
Remind us where you are..

Nella mia preghiera
Quanta fede c'e.
Lead us to a place ?

Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza,
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza.
Ognuno dia una mano al suo vicino,
Simbolo di pace...di fraternita.

La forza che ci dai
E desiderio te
Ognuno trovi amor
Intorno e dentro se.
Let this be our prayer,
Just like every child.

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above.
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love.
Let this be our prayer,
Just like every child.

Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverai...


---- think positive !!

Puasa Post

Assalammu'alaikum wr. wb,
Ramadhan sudah diambang pintu,
Jika Allah berkehendak InsyaAllah kita akan menemui Ramadhan penuh barakah.
Semoga kata taqwa InsyaAllah akan menjadi milik kita yang
berharga sebagai modal untuk langkah kita selanjutnya
Sementara Salah paham, kesedihan, ego, sakit hati, adalah sebahagian dari proses kehidupan kita.

Tapi Allah membuatnya dengan sangat sempurna, tidak
ada yang sia - sia dari apa yang sudah Allah kemas
dengan baik dalam bingkai rumah kehidupan kita
Tidak ada yang lebih mulia pada hari dimana semua
malaikat memanjatkan doa, dimana tidak ada kegiatan
baik yang tidak dilipat gandakan amalannya oleh Allah.

"MAKA NIKMAT TUHANMU YANG MANAKAH YANG KAMU DUSTAKAN..."
teringat ayat ini terus berulang di Ar-Rahman...
teringat kelemahan diri akan segala khilaf dan salah...
semoga Ramadhan ini membawa kebaikan, dan kesejukan...
seperti layaknya embun di pagi hari
berkilau tertimpa cahaya mentari...
semoga di masa mendatang terus dianugerahi keheningan hati...
seperti layaknya telaga Kautsar..

Dengan segala kekurangan dan kerendahan hati serta keikhlasan atas
semua kekhilafan dan kelalaian yang pernah saya lakukan
baik secara langsung mahupun melalui dunia maya,
Jauh didalam hati yang senentiasa didalam genggaman Allah,
Saya mengucapkan :
" Marhabban Ya Ramadhan, Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Bathin. "
Semoga Allah mengampuni semua dosa-dosa kita dan memberikan Barkahnya di Bulan penuh Hikmah ini.
Wassamu'alaikum Wr. Wb,.


---- the above stuff is from an email a friend forwarded to me. Ramadhan is here and it's my first time dengan wifey. Wifey ? Aku dah kahwin eh ? heheh .. last year, never I imasgined this to happen ..

To my Muslim friends, a good Ramadhan to you.:D

Life is Interesting

Things are getting pretty interesting .. living in a marriage is really something, once u are actually in it. I understand the phrase " sedangkan lidah pun tergigit, ini kan hati manusia .. ", or something like that .. ;-)

Not a winning week for my sports teams. Pool , Skins , Raiders lost .. FSU, Notre Dame and Barca won though. I am a sports fan, yes, but, only nowadays, the lessons of the game I am noting it down and following ..

Among them

1. Planning is VERY Important
2. Details .. details .. details
3. Do your best each time
4. If it does not go your way, learn and let it go ...

Ome
- this heart beats Red ;-)

Happiness N Randomness

Lama gue tak update as I have been busy with stuff ..

click this link. Happiness is where it really is .. in yourself. Need to remind self every day ;-)

Random thoughts

- Tun M, what goes around comes around ...

- NLP is very interesting :-)

Pics Link + Blink

Hi peeps.. you can check out more wedding pics at the link below, under ' Azmir & Azlinda '

Pics

The previous post comment was really stinging, but true. The person was not the only one who discovered my marriage that way. There were others with the same comments, one way or the other.

In going through the list of invitees, I made the choices based on several factors. Suffice to say, some of the factors were plain inaccurate.

I sincerely apologize to them. I made a judgment based on the facts I knew then and was proven wrong.

It is pretty interesting for the past month, since dah sebulan, on marriage. The fun, up n downs, quirks ... I am adjusting as best as I can ... Most of the nasihat which I have received are true to a variety of degree.

Later.

Ps/ am reading this book. Highly recommended :-)

Ngomel Wedding

Pic : Our family picture ( My Side )

No wedding is perfect. I guess there are a few things which bugged me about the wedding that was on my side.
Main grouse : The non attendance by people who received invitation and confirmed their attendance. And, in the aftermath, no reasons / explanations why ...

I stewed abt it for a while .. and then decided to just let go .. Luckily, my dearest is a patient person who kindly listens while I ramble ... letting go of bad stuff, is something which I have been practising for the past few years with a lot hurt that I have been through ..

As my dear friend Inn would understand, letting go is one of the easiest things to say, but hardest to do.

My thanks to those who came, and those who didn't come, but informed me.

" The future is NOW ! The past is past .... "

ps/ - You don't know what marriage until you are in one !

Nikah n Kahwin Pics + Ngomels

Yes peeps ... lama dah gue tidak update ;-) Limited access to the Net after office due to personal reasons ;-)

To see pics on the nikah and kahwin, go to this link and look under 'nikah dan kahwin' folder.

Not many pics yet , but will be updated / reorganized as more are added :-)

The nikah and kahwins had its high and lows ... err cite nanti in the next post :-)

One Pic

It's been one week ... looks nice eh .. InsyaAllah, more pics coming ... it's been a change, but very welcomed :-)

Kiss - Forever

I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself,
but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my
head over you
I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

Chorus:
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my
mind
Forever, until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you
forever

I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

chorus - yeah!

I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cos I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

chorus repeats 2x


----

Insya Allah, it will be forever ....

Dah Tiba Masanya

In less than 12 hours *gulp* ..

Eternal Love by P.j. & Duncan


Back in the days when we first met
those time we had I'm never gonna forget
long summer nights and lazy days
we knew our love was not a passing phase
suntan lotion that familiar smell
I made you a necklace from a chian of shells
the sand on my feet and the warm sea breeze
a kind of romance that's hard to believe

Our bodies together beneath the palm
We had our first kiss I melted in your arms

Chorus: I'll give you my love an eternal love
from me to you if you return
A token of love an eternal love
from you to me i'll give my love

** When autumn leaveswere on the ground
we had long walks together with noone around
long conversations alone in the park
that carry on 'till way after dark
winters chill and icy streets
inside is warm on the christmas eve
The fire burning our bodies yearning

Round and round the wheel of loves are turning

Chorus: I'll give you my love an eternal love
from me to you if you return
A token of love an eternal love
from you to me i'll give my love

So promise me (will you promise me)
and i'll promise you an eternal love, eternal love.

The very first fragance of spring is in the air
And each and every moment we still love to share
Alone together Just the two of us
It was then I know my heart belonged to you
Mmmm.. summers here

Chorus: I'll give you my love an eternal love
from me to you if you return
A token of love an eternal love
from you to me i'll give my love

So promise me (will you promise me)
and i'll promise you an eternal love, eternal love.

----

I am going to make a promise today. Hopefully, it's forever la kan ...

Sibuk n Debar2

Isy..biar benar ni .. is this real ?


Waiting For A Star To Fall - Boy Meets Girl -


I hear your name whispered on the wind
It’s a sound that makes me cry..
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don’t know why..

I wish I didn’t feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you..
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star..

So many people love you baby
That must be what you are..

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms,
That’s where you belong, in my arms baby..

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms,
That’s where you belong, in my arms baby..

I’ve learn to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision..
I don’t know how to dream your dream
So I’m all caught up in superstition..

I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free..
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star..

But I can’t love you this much baby
And love you from this far..

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms,
That’s where you belong, in my arms baby..

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms,
That’s where you belong, in my arms baby..

Waiting, however long.
I don’t like waiting, I’ll wait for you..
It’s so hard waiting, don’t be too long..
Seems like waiting, makes me love you even more

1) DPX 2

DPX 2 is finally out. Cookie has her Molly, I have my Dogg :D .. a red Myvi Auto Premium .. finally, a car to add to my kapchai, aka Gunjae Rider, with the same color :-)

2) A Song For Her

Artis : VE
Tajuk : Kerna Sayang

Dari tadi kau berlari
ku fikirkan.. hanya engkau yg ku idamkan
tak pernah pula kau bercerita.. siang mlm kau menderita
jangan dibiarkan perasaan menawar hati
jangan dibiarkan semuanya berlalu pergi

aku di sini
ku tetap berdiri
ku mengundang kasih
pergi sendiri
ku takkan kembali
agar kita kan bersama

jgn pulangkan kerinduan
tiap kali kau berjauhan
tidak mudah ku melupakan.. kerna sayang
kali pertama di pandangan
buat ku terbang di awangan
jangan pulangkan kerinduan.. kerna sayang

engkau memungkiri janji.. bukan aku
engkau yg melupakannya.. bukan aku
hanya aku yg impikan.. agar kita berbahagia hingga ke anak cucu
tapi itu semuanya kenangan.. yg tinggal hanya perasaan
dlm doaku hanya ingin selalu di samping mu.. oh pulanglah

aku di sini
ku tetap berdiri
ku mengundang kasih
pergi sendiri
ku takkan kembali
agar kita kan bersama

jgn pulangkan kerinduan
tiap kali kau berjauhan
tidak mudah ku melupakan.. kerna sayang
kali pertama di pandangan
buat ku terbang di awangan
jangan pulangkan kerinduan.. kerna sayang setiap kali ku mengenangkan mu
siang..mlm.. ku doakan kebahagian mu

Taboo + Wrath

1) taboo

it's early morning n i tak balik lagi .. feeling a bit melancholic .. and then heard the song below ...

sweetest taboo -sade-

If I tell you
If I tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me
If I tell you
If I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me
You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you
You give me the sweetest taboo
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me

I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away

There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There'a a quiet storm
I think it's you
There'a a quiet storm
And I never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo

You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

You've got the biggest heart
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
Every day is Christmas, and every night is new years eve

Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

ingat tak the video ? she sang in a studio, while outside was raining .. I think I saw it masa I was still in primary school. She has a silky smooth voice .. and though not as a big as she should have been, she has her own niche ..

2) Wrath

When I think about this movie, my favorite scene has to be near the end .. when the killer recited to the young detective what his sin was -- Envy n Wrath ...

I think we have that in all of us ... envy what others have n we don't .. better job, car, blings2, etc. I can remember as early as I was 7 or 8, feeling a bit like that ... in my 20s especially, as my peers were moving on up .. and I was stuck. IN the end, I found the cure. No, not her :P ... it was 'redha' ... acceptance of what was going on and the recognition that what happened in the past, happens. It's easy to say let go, but doing it is another thing. The choices that we make echo through eternity :D ..

My life is getting better ... the insecurities are still there .. the demons still linger ... but it's getting better and positive .. you have to be positive, believe in yourself .. and be wary of old habits that might derail you again. Again, as I have written in the past, it's all about choice.

Dang, it's already 6.00 am ! Gotta go ..

This will be an interesting weekend ... :-_

One Ring N Show Me

1) Lord Of The Rings

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

2) Show Me Love

Show me love - Robyn-

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Always been told that I’ve got too much pride
Too independant to have you by my side
But my heart said all of you will see
Just won’t live for someone until he’ll live for me
Never thought I would find love so sweet
Never thought I would meet someone like you
Well now Ive found you and I’ll tell you no lie
This love Ive got for you
Could take me ’round the world
Now show me love

Show me love, show me life
Baby show me what it’s all about
Youre the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it’s all about, alright

Don’t waste this love I wanna give it to you
Tell me what you got, show me what you can do
Show me love, show me everything
I know you’ve got potential
So baby let me in and show me love

Show me love, show me life (alright)
Baby show me that it’s all about
You’re the only one that I ever needed (show me love)
Show me love and what it’s all about, alright
Show me love, show me life
Baby show me what it’s all about
You’re the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it’s all about, alright
Show me love baby
Show me everything you’ve got and show me life
Show me love baby
Show me everything and what it’s all about

You're the one, the only one I ever needed
Show me love and what it’s all about, alright
I'll love you
I'll miss you
I'll make sure
Everything will be alright
I'll give you my heart if you just give me love
Every day and every night

Show me love, show me life (alright)
Baby show me what it’s all about
You’re the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it’s all about, alright
Show me love, show me life (alright)
Baby show me what it’s all about
You’re the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it’s all about, alright

Romantic Comedy

Took this test,...





If you were a movie, you'd be a Romantic Comedy


What Kind of Movie Are You?

Brought to you by Tickle

;-) I mmg love romantic comedies ...

Favorite Romantic Comedy of All Time : Four Weddings n a Funeral
.. thought I was Charles in the making .. till she came along :P

Take That N Party

:-) One of my fav boybands is having a reunion tour ..

The news link are here.

Dang, those were the days .. I caught them a bit late ..but, they were okay lah .. minor confession :- kinda like boybands, but only certain few ...

I once posted a song by them for someone ... when I was into that person ... nak tahu mana satu, cari la in the archives :P ...

but, for the her, as she is far away, right now .. I'll give her this one ;-)

Pray - Take That -

When the time gets near for me to show my love
The longer I stayed away for hiding from a word
I need to hear now don’t think I’ll hear it again
But the nights were always warm with you
Holding you right by my side,
But the morning always comes too soon
Before I even close my eyes

All I do each night is pray
Hoping that I’ll be a part of you again someday
All I do each night is think of all the times
I close the door to keep my love within

If you can’t forgive the past I’ll understand that
Can’t understand why I did this to you
And all of the days and the nights ok I’ll regret it
I never showed you my love
But the nights were always warm with you
Holding you right by my side
But the morning always comes too soon
Before I even close my eyes

All I do each night is pray
Hoping that I’ll be a part of you again someday
All I do each night is think of all the times
I close the door to keep my love within

Surely we must be in sight of the dream we long to live
If you stop and close your eyes you’ll picture me inside
I’m so cold and all alone, straight on back to me

All I do each night is pray
Hoping that I’ll be a part of you again someday
All I do each night is think of all the times
I close the door to keep my love within

cookie ... rasanya gue sudah ketemu apa ertinya cinta :-) ..

Cite, Footie, RIP

Cerita Part

Saw a bit of last nite, forum, on TV 1, at Sepet n Gubra … as usual, in the end, denial is better for everything. Malaysians need more Yusuf Haslams, Razak Mohaideen n Malay melodrama crap ….
Is it me or when the closer the moment comes, things become clearer n feet jadi ‘colder’ ? … since she is in Sabah, some stuff is clearer a bit …. N she is a bit worried ….
What is wrong ? Nothing is wrong … I think I am asking the right questions n looking for answers …

U sure u want ah, to do this ?

Footie part

Pool won 2 – 1, vs Chelsea in FA Cup semis n will play West Ham … and right abt now, I am addicted balik to Champ Manager .. uwaaa … ;-) .. sharpen my brains though :D …
Tq to Idlan for supporting ;-) .. and Nazmi, we are in the final … but, yr Milan is catching up to my old lady … in Liga, Barca should win it soon .. Imagine a Barca – Arsenal final ? …. Uwaaa , best tu .. if u want to see the swansong of MU decade, watch on Apr 29, Chelsea – MU … MU might win or not … but, after this season, they might be doing a Pool 90s swoon , for a while … Pool, Chelsea n Arsenal are building for the future … MU.. ? … hmm, Fergie hasn’t heard the fat lady songs I suppose .. maybe they need to check the audio systems at Old Trafford :D

R.I.P

Tun Ghafar Baba .. Rest in peace .. AlFatihah.. u deserve the rest ..

Wish I + Wiki

1) Wish I

Life has been hectic la .. especially kerja :P .. anyway, right now I want to be here, sebab she is there, ... for a while .. uwaaa

Just like the song below ... like her songs rite now ..

JEM "Wish I"

Baby, you're sailing today
Baby, you're sailing away
Sugar, wish I could go too
But honey you know
I'm happy for you

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

Baby, your ship has come in
Baby, adventures will begin
Sugar, don't you worry 'bout me
Coz honey you know
Want you to be happy

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
Won't you come home
But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
Won't you come home
Please come home

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too
Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

2) I am now a Wiki addict. It is godsent for an info junkie like me ... kan Inn kan :P
