Mercy

It is my last day of resting at home (seriously I hate medicines, but I gotta eat them and start going for proper treatment in order to be up and running again). I will be back at work tomorrow, Insya Allah, and my physiotheraphy session starts tomorrow too (after work).

Moral of the story: never fall down a flight of stairs again, ever.

Damn I miss going out for Poco-Poco and driving and riding a car for quite a longer distance.

But the brighter side of it is that I get to understand my physique better. If only I can find ways to straighten up my bones (my Dr recommends me to go for yoga classes once my physio is over – do you guys know any affordable classes that I can go? Maybe starting in February?). Hehehe.

Anyhoo I came across this blog of this one person who battles depression in her life. I somewhat understand the situation, being someone who suffered it before and yeah, I think I should write it down here.

To be quite honest, diseases like this are pretty much all in the mind. Should you think that you’re depressed, then yes you are. Should you don’t, then you don’t. Having been out of it for quite sometime (save and except when ppl are starting to talk about having kids and all, yeah I am very single but seriously, I am not ready for marriage yet), I would say that the root or cause of the said depression to build in within you is actually within you yourself. You have to dig deep within you to find out the root or cause of the matter. Dig it, understand it and yeah, solve it. Once you solve the issue, then yes, you will be a whole lot happier.

I remembered talking here about the panic attack that I suffer. The shivering, the feeling as if you’re going to die that very moment. I would say that thanks to finally understanding what that I really want out of this life that Allah gives me, I suffer less of those and yeah, be happier. I couldn’t be more happier than I am now (despite the fact that I have hundreds of things to do at work – man people are so going to haunt me once I set my feet to my cubicle tomorrow!).

So for that person, I would suggest, dig deep within you and you’ll understand yourself better and you’ll recover. Being needy and using others as tools or security may work temporarily, but for how long? You might not realize how needy you were until that fateful day comes. It pains me that she took her depression as an excuse to hurt someone close to her. No one deserves to be treated like a doormat.

If you have some mercy within you, please, dig deeper, woman. I really want you to be happy, and for him to be happy. He had been suffering even harder than you too, and you guys got to really sit down and think about it. Enough with your suffering, don’t let others suffer too. It’s unfair.

Here’s for a better tomorrow.

Time for Miracles

Hello again!

Sorry peeps, I have yet to update all of you with my whatever ongoings and what not. Partially out of laziness, some part of it is due to being sickie for the past two months (I’m pretty much on medication for the past two months -errrrr arcoxia to be exact- and I really hate it since I need to function normally without having to take all these drugs... gahhhhhhh!!!). And yes, I have developed a certain hatred for stairs due to my recent fall (which resulted in me having to go to clinics and yeah, hospital today).

I’ll be going off tomorrow for wisdom tooth surgery. Told ya I got too many things going on as of late. It’s kinda weird too though, that every single type of sickness comes to me at this time of the year. Grr.

To be honest, I am terrified of tomorrow’s surgery. Those who know me would know that I am terrified of blood and needles (ironically, the treatment that the doctor recommended to me today, and I’ll be doing it in January, would be acupuncture, can you believe it? Hundreds of needles jabbed on my body! SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARYYYYY!!!!). I had to bear some portion of the whole wisdom tooth drama by meself, totalling up to RM200 jugak la (the rest of the surgery thing would be covered by the company, but I gotta advance my own money. Thank goodness I still have some money left). In other words, I am flat broke this month. No fancy purchases for me.

Well, can’t be really blaming the sickness itself, since yeah, another reason I went flat broke this month is due to my new purchase (the one I can’t get enough with) – iPhone! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy :D Fiiiiiiiiiiinally I caved in and purchased that thing for meself. Well I deserve to treat myself something, right?

Will talk more about my visit to the hospital today (srsly, Prince Court? I love this hospital so much. As a patient, I am happy with the services) and the surgery once I’m back in the mood to write :p

And oh, a little something for you guys (for fans of Adam Lambert and Kris Allen – btw I got both of their albums already, yayyyy!!! Sony Malaysia, you gotta find me ok, let’s talk about marketing these boys!), I made this clip months ago but none of my RL friends actually know about the fact that I made it :p So enjoy!




(Currently half way reading Comfort Food by Kate Jacobs. A bit about family, about the workings of a TV show, about finding missing pieces of yourself as well ;) hehehe)

Bad Romance

Hello everyone!

Yes I haven't been updating this space for so long already. Can be considered bersawang, right?

I am actually imposing a restraint on meself in terms of browsing the Internet as we speak. But as you all may have known, I need my music doses, right?

I went to Big Bad Wolf sale today and bought 4 books, and later went to Book Excess and bought another 4 (one of them was actually the book that my boss has recommended me to read it for god knows how many times - he even mentioned it during my confirmation interview. Yes I have been confirmed for the said position months ago LOLZZZZ.. sorry for lack of updates here!). Told ya I am a book freak - I have so many books left unread. Scary, right?

And I can't even update this space in the office as my office totally blocks Twitter, GC, Blogger, LiveJournal and anything equivalent... They scorn me :p

But no need to worry my friends, I'm alive still.. though I had some injury earlier this month and I had to take a couple of days off work to rest. Grr.

So, what do you guys want me to write? I'm still pretty much lazy to write anything since I rarely go online one of these days :p save and except for watching vids via Youtube (my big ass guilty pleasure!).

Sharing one of my current fav vids! Gaga's latest vid - Bad Romance. I love this chick.

One

I don't give a rat's ass over so many things.

But I hate it when people start to judge me based on my actions, based on what I stand up for. The way I choose to live my life.

I am not in the IN crowd, neither have I ever been in the majority. I am always the minority on things.

So for once, I let people know what I really think of things and people made a big fuss about it? Start to say bad things about me? Judge me of who I am?

Questioning whether am I a true Malaysian?

Let me tell you one thing. As much as I disagree over anything over anyone, any issue compared to the other, anything in particular, I always believe in one thing: whenever someone is saying something about you or others, voicing their opinions or just saying things in between, look at their capacity. Not to judge who they are as a person based on the said statements.

In other words, not to be judgmental.

Hence, more often than not, I would like to just leave it as be. I want to live in a place where unicorns and koalas get to live in perfect harmony. I do not want to have all these hatred thoughts inside my head, as I believe there are always other alternatives to solve things.

I bet a bunch of people will be disowning me once this is out. Probably their lives are better off without having a trace of knowing me, even at the slightest bit. I know you hate me.

You may say that I'm a dreamer.

But I'm not the only one.

All These Things that I have done

I noticed that I have been slacking well too much in writing those tiny little things about my life. Partially out of laziness, most of the time because of too much ongoing things in my life, some of it because of my Kradam obsession (I can talk about this one like, forever! Who wants me to update more about Kradam in my blog please, a show of hands!!!), and of course, me thinking that my life is so plain, nobody would even take interest of whatever the heck that I am doing at the moment. heh.

Short updates about meself:

Happy Birthday, Mama

My mother celebrated her birthday on July 6th! My brother and I got her one heck of a pressie and I got her a cake too to boot :) srsly, moist chocolate cake from delicious rocks my world right now! And we broke tradition this year by not buying her a birthday card, and instead got her a huge family portrait of all of us, signed by everyone. Apparently both mom and dad loves it (I know you want one, dad! We’ll do one on your birthday next year okeh… wait, your birthday is my birthday too LOL!), of course whose idea was it anyway (points finger to self, yeah I am so tak malu when it comes to these kind of stuff). Mom, you are 51 years young, you know that? I do not have to write a lengthy essay to show to the world how much I love her, because of course, it’s so friggin obvious! I talk about her all the time, do i? hehehe….

Show Me the Money

I am totally broke this month. Mostly due to buying pressie to others (birthdays, weddings, et cetera whatever is related). Wait, is that considered a news here? Hell no, right? Hahaha :p

Movies Galore

I watched Ice Age 3 and Public Enemies this month and I would say:

i) Ice Age 3 was hilarious! I laughed all the way from the beginning to the end. One heck of a movie for you guys to watch together with your younger sibs and kids (though please do not make too much noise in the cinema or spoil the scenes or something to that effect. I was gave a kid a stink eye while watching the movie because he just cant stop being noisy! Gahhhhh!!!!)

ii) Public Enemies? Of course I need to have some Johnny when I was on long leave, right? Johnny did a very good job in this movie, though there are times I’m finding myself mesmerized by his royal hotness. I mean come on, 2++ hours of him in suits!!!! Who would not love that, right??? I drooled too (thank goodness I watched the movie alone hehehe) Personally I think he has becoming less American and more of a world citizen. The movie is very Michael Mann I must say. Watch it and you will surely understand what I’m trying to say here. And oh, most ladies wont love this movie because it’s more of a guys movie thang. Me? I love movies, and I love Johnny. Need to say more?

iii) Maybe I should go watch Harry Potter after work today. We’ll see if I have the guts to sneak out from the twin towers right on the dot and go to TGV unnoticed (and had my office tag hidden somewhere hahaha). Bad idea....

From This Moment On

I took a long break from work, went back to my hometown, my cousin got married (yay! They really mesh you know, I mean, seriously.) The bride looked so radiant during her wedding day, she looked gorgeous too :) The groom is pretty dashing himself (he’s Indonesian btw) and they looked so in love! Though there’s an unfortunate event happened on their wedding (I do not want to talk about it, as it’s not my story to tell), I think it makes their bond stronger than ever. Congrats to both of them!

Death of a Great Man

My grand-uncle passed away in Singapore on the same day my cousin got married. I had a some sort of premonition that this might happen, it came in a dream like twice within 2 weeks time and when I found out that it happen, I did feel a little something. Déjà vu, maybe? I had the same thing a month before my grandmother died and I think there were other occasions where I had the same thing as well and then the person died later. We couldn’t go to pay final respect to him as we were all up North, so some of my relative down South managed to go. Al-Fatihah to my Tok Long, Mohamad Razak bin Razak (who, btw looked like my Nenek and Tok Su. And yes, white/grey hair gene runs in my family).

New news, maybe?

I am broke (gaaahhh why am I repeating myself????).

New Additions

I believe from this month onwards a bunch of us, the unmarried ones will go absobloominlutely broke since there are like, a bunch of my friends who’ll be having their baby this month forward. Congratulations peeps, sorry if I could not make it to meet your newest addition to your picture-perfect family frame, maybe we’ve all drifted apart thanks to whatever the crap we’re faced with that’s well hidden under the code name “commitments”, but well, I’ll drop a line for sure :D I am not that mean ok!

Farah and Kradamania

I love Kradam so feckin much and watched the cellcast on weekends and I must say, Kris has improved a whole lot!!!!!! You guys should go and listen to his rendition of The Killers’ “All These Things that I’ve Done”. Kris Allen is a Rockstar in my world (and Mr Lambert would be more than happy to hear that one, he’s his bestie in the wholewide world right now hehehe). And I can go on forever when I start to talk about the way Adam Lambert moves and his perfect 10 eye makeup!!! And I am sooooo joining Meg on the vid thing, she rocks!

Something for my (not so big) brain

I only managed to read three books this month: The Secret, 101 greatest people that never lived, and Girls of Riyadh (am finishing it soon so will write about it later). The Secret needs no introduction, it’s about laws of attraction and how should we optimize our potential in our daily lives. Elham will definitely have a say about this book (or any motivational book whatsoever, this friend of mine certainly has good views that needs to be written in a book somewhere!). As for 101 greatest, well… I would say more often than not we idolizes or look up to some of the greatest figures of the world (Socrates, Gandhi, Mahathir, FDR, Churchill, Hitler even…) but there are others who would say “yeah they’re influential, but it’s bullcrap to ignore the fact that our culture is shaped by literature, movies, advertising campaign, cartoons even”. A good read for sure. So, who do you think shaped Malaysian culture, totally fictional but certainly impactful?

The End of Storytelling

My answer? One of them is simple and plain: PETRONAS commercials. I am not saying this because I need to remain loyal to the country and to people who fed me every single day (though if I get to do more work that involves meeting people and write creative things other than law-related stuffs would be much better), because their commercial has something to say about us all. It symbolizes who we are as Malaysian, having a total Malaysian outlook, not merely emphasizing on just showing off those Pan-Asian faces who most of the time, sorry to say, rely too much on their looks. You can feel the Malaysian-ness in it, and of course, within yourself upon watching them (sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s gut-wrenching and I ended up crying for days).

So it really broke my heart when I heard Yasmin Ahmad was pronounced dead on July 25th. Her work encompasses the essence of true Malaysian, regardless of race, gender, religion, age, classes, everything. Underneath all these barriers that we indirectly put ourselves in, there’s something so Malaysian about ourselves that we, sometimes do not dare to talk or divulge more. Yasmin touched our hearts in so many ways by using her works as medium to the masses. Malaysia is in deep loss of someone, who I consider as a true Malaysian in its purest form, who broke so many cultural barriers just to prove one thing: WE ARE MALAYSIAN.

Al-Fatihah to Yasmin Ahmad.

OK I need to continue doing my work now (today is so a sucky day, man… I am at the bottom of the food bloody ass chain and ppl can easily ask me to do things at the very last minute! I think my boss really hates me for asking me to go to the bloody ass seminar instead of attending our company’s AGM. Srsly big boss, you hate me, right??? You really, really HATE me do ya?).

But then again, I am still an ikan kembung. Who am I to fight with ikan jaws?

Think.

The Park Bench Song

Note: try to pronounce bench a la ppl from the south of US. You'll get the rest of my posts ok.

Facebook is a bench to me tonight. Just when I thought I can upload my pictures there since I havent been uploading much about my actual life be it here or there, Facebook is screwing me big time. Why on earth are you not allowing to upload any of my pictures there? Bloody hell.

I have been thinking of writing more here but well, the firewall in my office is a bench too. They totally blocked me from updating stuffs here, and when I am home I would be too tired to even try to type a coherent sentence in order to inform you guys about my current state of living. This results in too many cobwebs blocking my blog.

But as it turns out I couldn't sleep tonight, so you got yourselves a new entry from me. Pretty boring one, seriously. But heck, this is one of the reason why I haven't been updating and becoming rather obscure from public (in this context, my friends and of course, you guys who read my tiny space).

Am asked me in her comment in one of my last posts to write about my birthday. Well darling, this is partially my birthday entry because I bought so many books for myself throughout the month as a treat! To top it off, I received two more as gifts :)
And oh, should any one of you want to give me more books, you are more than welcomed to do so :)
As I told you guys previously, I have bought so many books for the past month! And that does not include my little collection of MJ magazines (will write about him later since I am still, deep inside, feel a little bit of my childhood been taken away from me due to his death) as well as, surprise surprise, a wee bit of Little Miss books! I seriously enjoy reading those pocket books because we tend to forget that life is actually pretty simple, and proper language is pretty simple too.

I want to buy more books, seriously, but on a second thought, maybe I should stop for a while and actually read all those of the above. My room is pretty much a library at the moment, you can pick and choose a whole bunch of stuffs to read! Now I feel like taking an MC or something, just to chill and read those babies :)

And oh, my current read now: The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Read and re-read it. A change is gonna come, I must say :)

Yes there I was, hiding behind all those books that i bought for the past month (two of them are actually from my father, my birthday presents actually! I have yet to read them yet!).

I have planned to travel this month, actually, however I have to call off my plan due to the epidemic that is called swine flu. Thus I have to settle with a staycation instead in 2 weeks time. I will be on a longer leave as I will be travelling up north for my cousin's wedding, will be busy by then (damn I seriously am in love with her hantarans! Will snap the photos should I have the time to do so). I will resume my KL staycation once I reached KL then. It would be fun I suppose, though I seriously need to be away from my laptop and have a good read instead.
My face was still full of glee prior to the bloody incident with the evil a.k.a. Facebook, who does not allow me to upload dozens of photos from my camera there. Yeah I still am pretty much pissed at them at the moment, we'll see what I'll do next.
Or maybe I shall call my two bodyguards to kick those asses of the bloody Facebook peeps. Wanna see my new minions?
Yeah, Allen-Lambert, i.e. my benches.
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, I shall say "good night". See you guys again really soon (I hope!)

I Was Played

Cheh title cam poyo jer :p hahahahahhaa!!!!

Kenapa title tu? Jap lagi la aku citer.



Father's Day

Today's Father's Day so.... Happy Father's Day to all dads (and future dads out there, ye korang aku tau korang bukak blog nihhhhhh) across the board. I didn't do anything much, other than running around the shopping malls hunting for the present for my dad. As always, I love taking charge of buying the gift, though it ends up with me shopping for a little something for myself LOL. My mom, my bro and I ended up pooling some cash to get some pressie for dad.

Yang lawaknye, the first shoe adalah tak muat ok. Salah size, needs bigger kasut!

So I took both my sisters out to KLCC again and exchanged the shoes. Damn tak jumpa2 size jugaks. Sampailah ke kasut yang kesepuluh ke dua belas ke... barula mendapat LOL! The shoes fit perfectly. Gahhhh so happy!

So Happy Father's Day, Daddy :) I am more than happy that finally I get to lessen the burden on your shoulder, taking more responsibilities at home and all that. Feels more.. grown-up. Yeah.





Happy Birthday, Kris Allen!


Yeah you all know that I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Kris Allen fan. I have been actively participating in a bunch of boards, requesting for his songs on the radio, promoting him in my own way (tahap pakcik jual cd sims pun i bantai promo ok). And yeah, I use my actual name since I am so crappy at giving myself any AI-like nickname LOL :p Met many cool fans of the Kradam too! And yeah, I am obsessed with Kradam LOL!


So kalau takde besday post for Krissy mcm tak sah la kan, kan Shanim kan???? hehehehe....


Happy Birthday, Kris! I am so happy for you and I want only the best for you (erm.... if both Adam and you are indeed together I will be supporting you too, though I so doubt it will happen). Can't wait to watch your performances on tour (albeit on Youtube) and buying your album as well! And of course I will buy Adam's too :)


Dah lama dah support any artist camni, and now I am supporting in full force :) walaupun tahu agak impossible untuk Adam or Kris untuk sampai ke Malaysia.


Heck, if BSB finally dapat gak datang Malaysia dan aku dapattt gak tgk konsert diorang, I can always hope, right?


Happy birthday, Kris BB!!!!

And oh, the title of today's post is actually from one of Kris' older works. I love that song, as well as Brand New Shoes :D

p/s: wonder what will Adam get for Kris as a bday present.... a metro grooming set incl guyliner maybe? LOL!
