Andai itu takdirnya

I read this Malay novel and cried my hearts out. I was practically bawling. Can't stop wiping my runny nose and teary eyes while trying to finish off the story. Damn good book. One of the most sad story I've encountered. Of recent years, I'd only started to borrowed and read my sister's malay novels. She has a huge collection of it. But seriously, this is one good sappy love story that I've enjoyed. No suprise there, after all I am a sentimental at heart.

And this song was mentioned as favourite of Aleya (the heroin, main character in the story) which akin to her heart-wrenching and suffering experience. Sob sob *finding tissue now *

Pieces Don't Fit Anymore

HP7 is finally here

Listen up All Muggles! This is it, y'all!

Be ready for the ultimate end of the journey. I'm beyond excited. To think back when I was introduced and read the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone many many years ago. I still remember that I would stop at Kinokuniya after work and flipped through the pages and then left a ticket stub (instead of earmarking the pages!) and come back again the next day to continue reading it for free. I know, what a cheapskate i was! haha

And suffice to say that I'm a loyal follower ever since and never tired of reading the rest of books in the series (my personal favourite is Prisoner of Azkaban) and enjoyed all HP movies very much. It's kinda sad that now we've reach the end of story with the release of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallow pt 2 movie but nevertheless, it was a helluva great broom ride! Long live The Order of Phoenix!!

p/s: ok, I'm off to book the ticket for the show. Will update y'all once I watched the film.

Fall of Giants

Yesterday I've finished reading the latest book by one of my favourite Author, Ken Follett titled 'Fall of Giants'.

I'm so excited and overwhelmed. Although, it took me about 2 weeks to finish it, which is waaay much slower to my own liking, but I have to consider and remember that I need to get enough sleep since I was on a hectic work trip at that time and thus, only allowed myself about 30 minutes prior to bed time to read the book. Nevertheless, the story rocks! If you're a fan of Mr. Follett , don't forget to go get the book & read it, well, that is if you have not yet done so.

According to Fantasticfiction.co.uk , the book is the first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families-American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh-as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

Can't wait for the book 2 & 3 of this Series. I'm such a sucker for trilogy or series thingy. It's tricky how the writer could keep the momentum of the stories and gave enough suprises one after another in the storyline. How excited!

Temporary Discomfort

I am proud to be born as a girl. I cherish the fact that I'm a woman. It comes with its many advantages and perks. Having said that, what about the downside of it?

Owh man, this monthly menstrual period & its accompanying stomach cramps really do hurt! Hadoii!!

Listen : Got to go - Najwa Mahiaddin

I'm coming home

Owh, this worktrip has started taking its toll on me. I feel so tired and can't wait to go back home tommorow! Everywhere I look, I see this..thousands acres of green paddy fields. Yep, I'm at Alor Star, Kedah

On the road again

I'm here at Prai. Penang. Work trip, as usual. Have a nice day, y'all.

Jar of hearts

No, I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
[Chorus:]
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
[Chorus]
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Moving On

I’m collecting the shards of my broken hearts
I’m keeping the leftovers of warmth and affection to myself
I’m taking back all the promises I made
I’ll take this episode as remembrance and a lesson learnt

Go away and be merry with your life
In time, I’ll be fine
And I’m sure to find my happiness again.

Listen : King of Anything - Sara Bareillis

My weekend of nothing

I spent the weekend by doing nothing much. except for re-reading few sad & sappy love novels and cried my heart out. I know, I'm an idiot like that. I'm sure you had far more productive weekend than me.

But anyway, Happy Monday y'all! *hand on heart, eyes rolled up *

Listen: Don't you wanna stay - Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson

Total Eclipse..of my heart

Huh,there was an eclipse yesterday? I didnt read the news earlier, if not I could have witness it myself. Nevertheless, read more here.

And that's my friend, reminds me of this one of favourite song of all time! (esp. during karaoke time haha!)

Stay healthy

So many friends got sick recently. sigh

Let's try to take care of ourselves by consuming a balance diet all the time ok, so what constitute as a balance diet? The main food that should be included in your diet are like carbs (rice, bread, pasta etc), poultry, meat, seafood, dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt etc), Vegetables & fruits. Like shown in the pyramid below :-

Ideally, that would be a truly balance diet when you had consumed variety and different kinds of foods. Which later, would be digested and provide much needed energy, vitamins etc by our body. But most of the time, it's easier said than done. Of course, different people have different preference, favourites and must-have food that they love. However, I believe in moderation and try to control the food intake (esp with sugar). I love vegetables & fruits, though. And don't mind eating them at every meal time.

And oh! above anything else, drink plentiful of plain water at all time. You know your body needed it very much.

Listen : Penakut - Yuna

TGIF

Plan for Saturday : -


1.Sleep-in the whole morning.
2. Wake up and start spring cleaning the apartment.
3. Take a nap (due to feeling tired after all the scrubbing, mopping & sweeping)
4. Catch up on TV programmes/blogs that I missed during the week. Bliss!

so what's your weekend going to be like?

Listen: Jars of heart - Christina Perry

Price Tag

Another nice song to enjoy. price Tag by Jessie J ft. B.o.B

Perfect

Argghh..I can't get this song outta my mind! so lets sing along. All together now..

"F*ckin' Perfect"

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

You're so mean when you talk
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead.

So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(ohh ohhhhhhh)

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line and we try try try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?

Pretty, pretty, pretty

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing than you're fucking perfect to me
(you're perfect, you're perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me



Btw, today is the starting of 2nd half of the year. June 1st already??!Aiyohh..

Do you do Pink?

Pink, or her real name Alecia Beth Moore is a talented song writer, producer, singer and unique performer. Her videos are usually entertaining but at same time, loaded with messages that she's conveying through her songs. These are among my favourites.







And most current one that's been playing in my head continously..



so do you like Pink? read more about her here

Més que un club

FC Barcelona won!!

They outclassed Manchester United 3-1 during final of 2011 UEFA Champions League last weekend. What an entertaining match. I love both team dearly, although finger crossed, I hope ManUtd would win, alas not the case that day. Anyhow, I'm also happy that Barca won the cup. They truly deserved it!

To Manchester United fans, nothing to be ashamed of. We're far better than some clubs who only knows how to spend, talk and so afraid to walk alone so they need a whole gang to walk together, but unfortunately they ain't going nowhere, eh.

Yieehawww!

Boo yah! Scotty Mccreery won the American Idol finale!! I'm so freaking happy. He's been my favourite since the beginning and I'm head over heel with his composed and super cool personality. And oh! his voice. Man, his low & sexy voice is a killer, especially when he is singing country songs. Just perfect. I kinda digging the runner up, Lauren Alaina too. She's sweet and talented and I'm sure her upcoming records will be selling well too!

Life as it is..

“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.” - Alfred D Souza

Sad but true.
