Monday

It's monday. I'm fasting. Tummy's singing a sad song. And still have work to do. erghh!

Ramadhan is here!

yes, it's the time of the year again.

It's the arrival of Ramadhan month where all muslims are required to fast for everyday from sun up to sunset for a whole month. Muslim (in Malaysia) will start their fasting from tommorow until September 20th. It'll be a time to reflect, be thankful for all the good things in life and try to optimize the opportunity to score more good deeds (pahala) as much as possible during this holy month. And of course, don't over eat, people! I know it's tempting to see all delicacies and dishes on sale every afternoon throughout the month. Note to self : If anything, I should be watching what I'm eating this time. Haha!

So yeah, have a good ramadhan and hopefully we will be blessed during this holy month. Peace on earth y'all!

p/s: my car's battery died on me this morning! erghh!! but managed to had a good karaoke session last nite with I and her sister A and 3 new friends - A, H & A. Fun time before the fasting month? what a crap concept. But am not paying, so most definitely not complaining. tehehehe.

Taa..

It's what we are

Hi Y'all,

ok, first thing first. I freakingly finished the 'Breaking Dawn' today! yeay!! and am so happy with the ending of the Twilight Saga. Seriously, I love it. Hurrah to Bella & Edward. I'm crazy like that, i know.

Anyway, question of the day. Are we all hypocrites?

Well, I’d say, that depends. How truthful can you be? Or how far you would you go not caring what other people might think of you? For example, if you’re working in an office where you wholeheartedly and absolutely hating and loathing your boss. Would you go to him and tell him to ‘ Fuck Off!’ ? I don’t think so. That means, you still got left with consideration to be respectful in you. That does not mean, you hate him less, it is the afterward effects that you’re mulling with. For once, you’ll have to quit your job and work on finding new one. And you might hesitate to go and run amok because you’re concern with what others will think of you. If you value what other people think of you, then you might feel guilty and always in the concern of what might people think of your action? And seriously, that is one of things I hate most in this world – what other people might think? Why the fuck should I care?

Honestly, there is no way in this world for us to satisfy everybody. You did something and your parents might question, why? You changed your way, and then your friends will think you’re crazy. You did this way, they are rolling their eyes. You did that way; they are not nodding their heads either. So tell me? Who should we care for and be concern with? Yep. Ourselves folks. Other people be damn.

And I would say, we are all hypocrites. Not always intentionally, but sometimes we have to be one. Because my friends, this life is all about balance. You think hardest you can, consider all the actions and its consequences but in the end, they will come down to one thing. No regrets. At least, try not to have any.

I'm off to enjoy my weekend. Hope you'll have a good one.

Now, put your left hand on your heart, and here a kiss to your forehead. Muaashh!!

Listen : Our Song - Taylor Swift

Who do you think you are?

"ergh! am so emo right now. Sorry to bother you who read this. But I need to vent out something out of my system. Damn it la..I hate it when people whom I just met, supposely a new friend but talk bad things about me behind my back. Sheesh! who do you think you are? and to be honest, don't judge me because you ain't got that right to do so. In the first place, you're nobody to me. Nobody. I'm fine with my life before and I'm going to be ok now and I'll be good in future too, thanks. Knowing that you are actually a jerk, poyo and such an asshole is of no regret to me. You are just a speck of unworthy dust that somehow made your way into my universe. And now, would you please get lost and never came into my life again. You means nothing to me. Your friendship is worthless. Nope, I'm not affected by you. At all. If anything, it only shows that I should just trust my instinct more often..haha "

so there..I've said what I felt. Actually it's nothing lah. Forget that you read this.

Now, lets go back reading the 'Breaking Dawn' ..hah! this is another story. A comment from fellow fan of twilight Ann has asked whether I would like to have the e-book. I was so excited and said thanks to her but forgot to leave my email. Anyway, that same afternoon, I went out for lunch and somehow, I went into MPH and straightaway bought the book. Oww! then I realized I could read the ebook and probably get the book as part of my collections in future. Erghh! anyway, I already bought the book and currently on page 300. Arghhh! it's killing me you know?not knowing the ending.

Twilight Newborn

Owh..I am soo sucked into this Twilight saga. Yesterday, I finished the 3rd book, 'Eclipse' and seriously, I can't wait to get my fangs on the next one ' Breaking Dawn'. (see, I'm good at Vampire-talk now! haha)

The stories is so interesting. I know it's a fiction, but still..just to come up with that kinda idea, developed it and wrote it down beautifully like that. Wow! a writer never cease to amaze me. They have such strong conviction of their ideas and all challenges aside, I know they thinks it's worthwhile. A good publisher do help, I think. Anyway, I'm enjoying the twilight saga very much and the next movie ' New Moon' is ready to roll out soon.

In the mean time, let me think whether I should ;

1) go spent my money and buy the 'Breaking Dawn'

2) wait until E finished reading hers and borrow it

3) or I should.. slowly throwing my charm and try to coerce an unsuspecting victim to give me their copy, cause if not then I'll turn into one angry vampire & start kissing their neck and sucking their blood! Ew! Gross!

How 'bout that? Nice pics eh.

Btw, I finished reading 'New Moon' and just borrowed next book ' Eclipse' from my friend, Eva.

Listen : I'm me once more - Zee Avi

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..

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..

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!

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.
