Edward Cullen & Isabella Swan

erm.. you know who are they right? no? well, nevermind. I myself just started reading about them. And to tell you the truth, it's kinda fascinating story to me. The whole idea that vampires are living and mingling with us, mere mortal, is mind blowing! But I broke my own rule; always read the book first, then go watch the movie/dvd. In this case, I bought the dvd way back early this year and already watched 'em. The film ' Twilight' was a major hit last year and needless to say so is the book sales. Only recently, I got to borrow the book from a friend, KC and got hooked on the series.

Today I bought the second book, New Moon. And knowing myself, I would prefer to read it in a single sitting. I can't really focus on the story if I got distracted, stop and then continue reading a novel. I just don't have the patience.

And oh yeah, I think Stephanie Meyer is an awesome writer. Have a nice weekend y'all.

Transformation of a Cat

Weekends looming.

I'm quite bored and it's Friday.

So, let's have a look at this super cute transformation (no, not the Transformer the movie. which I'm yet to go and watch! lame, I know) of my favourite cat- Kodok! I met him again recently, and I was so amazed to see that he had grown soo much!No wonder his owner, Y is missing him badly. You see Y is currently expecting her first child and she & hubby have to find new home for Kodok. I am soo wanna take him in! but being away for work regularly might not be practical factor. So, check this out.

pictures above were taken on January 18th, 2009. Next, have a look at him with pictures dated February 10, 2009.

How about that? Next, these are most recent images of Kodoks taken last weekend (July 19, 2009). Hold your breath, folks!



Hah! he's obviously getting bigger and bigger now. What a cute cat!

Now that, really makes my day.

A Note..

Dear self,

I don’t know why I’m writing this note. I just thought that I would like to remind myself that some things just won’t go my way or turn out as what I wish for. So, please, just move on. Don’t dwell in the past, take heed and learn your lesson, dear. You know the drill; there is no point of lingering around and harp on the past mistakes. There is a whole wide world out there to be explored and the guilty feeling is one baggage you’ll want to leave behind. Go on love, you deserved so much better!

XoXo,

Shue

2nd half of this year..

has finally arrived. It's July 1st today and I was wondering where the last 6 months have gone to? Time really do flies folks.

And apparently, somebody is starting his new job today. Good luck Ben! and you know you're a subject of jealousy from all over the world.

The Way You Make Me Feel..

Goodbye to King of Pop - Michael Joseph Jackson (Aug 29,1958 - June 25, 2009). You're truly talented and one of greatest entertainer. You'll be missed by your legions of fan worldwide. And this is my favourite song of Michael Jackson. What's yours?

Arrghh..these last few days

are truly testing my patience. I'm sitting here(while trying to look super busy) and counting how many hours left before my departure time from Sarawak to KL. It'll be around 6.15 Friday evening.Woot! Can't wait to go back and meet my new gadget! Finally! it's a long awaited present for myself..err from myself!( i bought it on my own laa) How lame is that? no matter.

Anyway, I took some more pictures this last couple of days.

It was sunny and blue sky on Sunday..

when I heard a buzzing engine/motor sound nearby..

Owh! these are so cute. I don't know what's its name (a kind of Glider with engine-powered and the controller is sitting down) but in CSI last night, they called it 'Airlite'. And the person who's handling it got so near to the hotel building..

And then, it's back to peaceful sunset again..

Taa..

Back to nature

Well it seems that I took a small step to conquer my own fear yesterday. Me and few friends went to visit Niah Cave and to tell you the truth, I have not walked that far for quite sometimes. The journey from Miri town to the Niah National Park took about 1 and half hour drive and then we have to take a boat ride to cross over a river (shortest boat ride - abt 1 minutes!) and started walking the trail for about 3 Kilometres to reach the Cave mouth. Owh! if it's not for the proper pathway/plank walkway, I don't think we'll make it less than 1 hour to the place. We first reach the Trader's Cave, it was name for the trading activities that took place there since long time ago where the collected birds' nest exchange hands between the traders and the birds nest collectors before it were taken out and sold at markets in town. We further climb up the steps and reach the main cave mouth of Niah Cave, they called it West Mouth and it's huge and very cooling inside. There is a gated area of archeology excavation site inside the cave where the archeologist have discovered existences of human as old as 40,000 years and remnants of early settlements in the cave. There is this eerie feeling to the whole cave and I have a new respect for the birds' nest collectors. Really, they would climb up a makeshift bamboo poles to reach the ceiling of the cave and collected the Swiftlets Nest which would end up as delicacies to others. It's a tough way of making a living, I'd say. I did not further climb up the trails into the deeper parts of the caves as I was bone tired at that point and make my way back outside to wait for my other friends. But anyway, having reached the main Niah Cave is a small accomplishment to me already. Haha! These are few pictures and sorry for the not-so-good quality as I was only using my handphone and regretfully did not pack my camera (sheesh!) for this outstation trip. Now I'm off to rest my blisterred feet. Ouch!

Listen: Girlfriend & Hot - Avril Lavigne (accompanied me along the walk back from the cave) Phew!

View from here..

I love checking out the view from my room balcony when I woke up in the morning and again when I came back from work in the evening. The sounds of waves kinda soothing. And I would love to have a home by a beach someday in future. Imagine, to have an ocean view from your kitchen windows, a deck to hang out and nap in the afternoon, reading for whole day while enjoying the breeze and walking on the beach watching the sunset.Bliss!

However, at the moment, these view will do.

Ne le dis a` personne..

.. or Tell No One is the title of a French film I caught last night after I check into the Everly Hotel Miri . And the movie is so endearing and quite action-packed at the same time. Imagine what you'll do when there is mystery surrounding the tragedy that took your wife's life 8 years ago. And after all the depression and healing process only to discover that she's not dead but in hiding for fear of her safety (and his live) Owh! so sad.But in the end they got together again and that's what matter, right. Yeay! to a happy ending.

And I'm so sleepy to start work this morning. Miri, as predicted is hot!

'Miri' on my mind

My holiday plan to Phuket was scraped off this time. Again! Nothing new there. The only travel I’m doing these days seems to be for work, work and work related only. How boring. By next Monday, I should be at Miri. It is the second largest city in state of Sarawak on Borneo Island. A direct flight from Kuala Lumpur and crossing the South China Sea shall take about 2 hrs++. And honestly, Miri is ain’t that bad at all. I like it there more than Kuching (Sarawak State Capital). Somehow I found Miri is more laidback, relaxing and peaceful. And of course it’s also due to its location by the seaside. Where as in Kuching you’ll find a river that flows throughout the city and most areas are cramp as businesses and main activities tend to be around these area. In Miri, no traffic jam! Nada. Driving around is easy breezy. Eventhough, I’ve been there many times, sadly I haven’t been to Miri’s main attraction –Mulu Cave! It’s not because I’ll have to take another short plane ride to go there, it’s just I’m not a cave-loving person by nature. You see, I am actually a claustrophobic. I hate to be in a small, confine and closed area or space ..err like in a cave.(duh!) And I can’t stand the feeling of being trap like that. However, I’m still considering whether I should go check out the caves this time. Or else, there is also Niah Cave nearby; I think about 1 half hour’s drive from Miri. So what is your phobia? What is it that you’re afraid of?

Love Story

This is soo cute. Awww..

decision, decision..

and I really hate when I have to make a difficult choice. A decision need to be made soon. To decide on whichever side it is, means I'm doomed on on all account anyway.Ergh!I'm up in my neck and out of my wit thinking about this.So, blergh!.. Gotta run.

Barca Rules!

okaay..BarcelonaFC won! They defeated Manutd 2-0. What a great game!I love Futbol.

Anyway, all the best to Manchester United (Champion of 08-09 Barclay Premier League) and Barcelona FC (Champion of 08-09 Spanish La Liga) for tonight's final of Champions League. Woot! We'll see the results tommorrow ya..

Listen : I want you - Kelly Clarkson

Spritzer Girl!

Have you watched a film titled ‘The Women’? okay, first off, I knew I was late/outdated/fall off the bandwagon or call it what you want. I only came across the DVD yesterday and watched it last night. My immediate reaction after the final credit roll is to hit the ‘Play’ button again! It was that Awesome! Owh man, I knew I already read the interview on Meg Ryan in the Oct 2008 InStyle Magazine (The same interview piece where she told that her ex- Dennis Quaid cheated on her during their marriage) and of course there are stories of her latest project – ‘The Women’. Anyway, let me tell you why I found this film is brilliant.

1) The casts
Look the cast member folks! Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Eva Mendes, Candice Bergen, Debi Mazar, Cloris Leachman (most hilarious of all!) etc. If that doesn’t impress you, I don’t know what will.

2) The story
Although this is a remake from original movie of same title from 1930s, this latest/renewed version was done with superb themes (still on issues related to women but ‘twas time/generation-appropriate to current world), great story telling, excellent style of flow and deliciously witty. I laughed so hard especially by those funny lines by Edie Cohen (Debra Messing), Alex Fisher (Jada Pinkett-Smith) and Maggie the housekeeper (Cloris Leachman). The director of film, Diane English has done a superb job!

3) It’s an all women characters

How refreshing. (considering I have not watch the original 1930s one)

4) Gorgeous clothes

From the collection of Mary Haines (Meg Ryan) - Woho! yummy! It was designed originally by Narciso Rodriguez. How talented!

As much I would like to blab here more about the film, I think you should go get a copy/download and watch it (if you haven’t already.) I seriously think this is a heart-warming, empowering and insanely hilarious film!

*Spritzer Girl a.k.a Crystal Allen- the girl who works at Saks selling perfumes behind counter. Played by Eva Mendes in the movie.

Lovely..

I love cats. They are so cute,lovely, intelligent but usually spoilt rotten by their owner. These are pictures of Y' male cat named Kodok. As you can guess, he was spoilt and treated like a royal by his owner. Practically a baby to Y, well, until the real baby arrives anyway. (Congrats to Y & A!). I got 2 cats of my own called Harry & Tommy. They are almost 12 years old. But I have none of their pictures in my safekeeping now. I'll take some when I went back to my hometown next time.

Unconditionally

Unconditionally

To reciprocate
Is to willingly let go
To honour
Is to humbly accepting
To cherish
Is to gladly reaching out
To hope
Is to happily forgive
To soar
Is to know that you are content
To love
Is to give your heart and soul
Unconditionally.

Best Job in The world..

..is definitely not mine.

Hello y'all. Hows thing lately? Hope you're doing fine.

Am so into Kelly Clarkson latest album 'All I ever wanted' right now. Practically singing her infectious tracks in the car while driving and also while doing my works in the office. But rest assure that I won't suddenly jump on the table and belting out KC' My Life Would Suck Without Y*u' at the top of my lung anytime soon. Work wise, nothing new to report. Am in the office for the rest of May and most probably off to East Malaysia, Sarawak in June. Problem is, I hope it'll not clash with my plan trip to Phuk*t also in the middle of next month. we'll see about that, cause I can't back out from this trip. The airfares have been paid many months ago (last year, in fact) and we're just about to finalize the accomodations etc. Am so looking forward to this trip. I need a break from my mundane and routine job. Speaking of job, Congratulations to Mr Ben S.! I heart this guy! owh..so green with jealousy right now grrr!

okay folks, I leave you with this pictures of beautiful sunset. Taken during my work trip to Melaka last March. These are view of Straits of Malacca from my balcony at Century Mahkota Hotel, Melaka.
