Hectic day yesterday...been here and there from early morning til evening. At 6:45am I sent my mom to her office then went back home to fetched my dad and drove hime to Hulu Langat district office in Bangi. I then went to Pendaftaran Negara to get a copy of my birth certificate as I needed them for today's interview at Damansara. The officer informed that my record is not in their system and asked me to go to KL office at Maju Juction. Dang I've to wait for my dad first before I could go there. The time was 9:30am. Thank goodness my cousin Pidah was in the Immigration building just opposite to pendaftaran building at the moment. I called her up and we met for breakfast (only me as she was fasting). After breakfast Pidah went back to her office in KL and I drove back to Bangi. Abah called half an hour later...picked him up and headed straight home to send him back.
I then continue my journey to Maju Junction. Arrived there at noon. I was happy at first to saw the current waiting number was 2028 and my number was 2030. BUT I had to wait almost 30 minutes for the number to be called. Went to the officer and she told me to come back again at 3 to collect my document IF the record is in the system. If no record found then I wasted more than 2 hours waiting for nothing.
Its been a while since I went to this Maju Junction. I used to get blind reflexology massages in Souk At-tar before I found a better/nearer place at Taman Maluri. Nothing interesting about this shopping mall to me but luckily they got MOG optical shop here. I accidently 'clean' my spec in a washing machine last saturday and the frame broke in two. I managed to buy myself a new spec (blue colour youuu...) and contact lens (not blue la...clear one with power la).
Aiyo..to be continue....

Man United vs Middlesbrough 27/10/07
Glory glory Man United...Glory glory Man United...Glory glory Man United...and the Reds go marching ON ON ON!!!
Man United did it again with the magic 4 goals in 4 consecutive games. Impressive eh? Hope they will continue to impress us :) So far 4 is our lucky number. This time Nani and Rooney scored 1 each while Teves scored twice. Oh ya...in addition to last night's victory, Owen Hargreaves was back in the game after almost 2 months being on the side line. I was really rooting for him to shine in United team when they first signed him...and was very upset with his series of injuries...but I'll pray for his full recovery to perform well with other team mates.
Rooney and Teves played well together and it shown in this game...I'm happy for them :) Keep on scoring guys!!

Can't wait for next week's game against Arsenal on 3rd Nov 2007. The No 1 position maybe a short while since Arsenal only had 9 games, down 2 games compared to United 11 games but let us Mancunians around the world celebrate our moment of glory being on top of the chart again this week and let us see what comes on Saturday/Sunday.

Home-based Job Scam
My mother have been scammed by a company called Global Master Management located at lot 8-1-6, 8th Floor, Wisma Cosway, Jln Raja Chulan, 50200 Kuala Lumpur.
Last 2 week mak inform me that she was responded to an ad for home-based data entry job. I was already felt sceptical about the whole idea but she insisted to try it. So she went through an interview conducted by this company and was promised 5 assignments per month for RM500 on each assignment. Sounds fishy isn't it? To add salt water to this fishiness the company asked my mom to pay RM159 for consultation fee. She went back to this agency the next day with the money although I already adviced her not to but she simply said "let me try...mana tau betul. Kang tak betul aku report polis je"...sigh...OK la...go la...my mistake was I didn't check on the Internet bout this company first so that I can proof to my mom the whole thing is just a scam. Last saturday a guy named Iskandar called her to inform that he will be the one handling my mom's account and everything will go through him. He promised my mom an assignment in a week time.
Just now another guy called Daniel from GMM called her to asked whether she received any call from the company who promised her the job. He also said that he will be handling her account and he'll look for other job from another company since the earlier company didn't contact my mom. It was then my mom realised all was a scam by this conultancy company. Now I am browsing through the net and came across numerous posts on consumer forums where people shared their experienced being scammed by the same company...how I wish I checkout these forum earlier...
Next week me and my mom will go to this company...Beware of those who pissed my mom off...you are bullying the wrong person...I saw the worst of her once and even me felt like creeping under the desk when she fire and blasted away her anger...
So this post to be continued next week...
My Story : Dull Life
I need activities...life seems so dull these days. Made plan for movies and bowling yesterday but ended up just chatting thru dinner at Hartz Chicken buffet and later at mamak's MZ Corner. My friend sent me home but instead of going inside I decided to had a night cruise and drove myself to drive-thru Burger King somewhere along MRR2. When I got there I realised the time was already half past 1 so I changed my direction back to cheras and headed to downtown KL.
At 2am the place was cramped with people...mostly young families with their baby and little kids. Looking at them I was thinking how time changed the culture I grew up with. Back then nights were the time when most people spent time at home with their families. Before midnight, kids were already in beds sleeping through their dreams. Now I saw parents pushing babies in strollers at 2am wandering through booths. Poor child I thought to myself. In future these parents can no longer scold or blame their children if they become "night crawlers" coz they will simply point their fingers back at the parents saying "Its your fault!". Nothing fancy about this downtown...bundles and bundles and bundles and nothing more.
Since I was already on the wheel might as well I enjoyed the night/early morning view of KL so I just drove around Bukit Bintang and Jalan Ampang where I came across 2 police road blocks and numbers of police cars stopping drivers along these roads...hmmmm of all the nights they chose friday night...clever la these policemen pilih time kan? Don't wanna make any remarks on them or they'll sue me (hahaha like they will read this blog...duhh)
Before headed home I tried the SMART tunnel for the first time...It was creepy driving alone with no other car behind or infront in the tunnel...All by myself. I had bad ideas floating in my mind until I saw the dark sky at the end of tunnel...what if penyamun was infront waiting to stop my car right after this turn...or what if my car broke down in the middle of tunnel...or what if towman purposely spread nails on the road to pau you...or what happen if the tunnel suddenly blown up...or the fan systems collapsed on my car or...how long will it takes for the tunnel guard to get to me if I had accident...I think too much I know...just wanna prepare myself for the worst but alhamdulillah nothing happen. I took the Cheras exit and went to my parents favourite mamak's to tapau the roti canai they requested before I left the house. Seeing me entering the restaurant alone, few of the staffs asked bout my parents coz they havent seen my parents for almost a month...wow memang muka regulars la...Just told them my parents were too sleepy to come waited for the roti canai and then deove straight home.

In Loving Memory of Boboy (2004-2007)
I was introduced to Boboy in mid 2005 when my mom brought him home from her office. He was almost 1 year old when he joined my family. He was different than the rest of my cats. Black...wild, foxy looking cat with unusual coat pattern I've ever seen here in Malaysia. He was special. At first he was a very sensitive but independent pet that always refused to be touch let alone to be held or clinged. Only last year he started letting us touched and cuddled him for a short while...and later shown his affections earlier this year.
He was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) like HIV few months after living with us. Since then he'd been in and out of vets but nothing as serious as last week. It was very unfortunate for him coz we were celebrating Aidilfitri when he fell ill and we were busy to care for him much believing that he only had his normal cold & cough. However I realised that his condition worsen everyday and only on friday we noticed that he might be in his last stage of FIV. Vet clinic that treated him close on weekend so we had to wait til monday. Went to a pet centre in Taman Segar that first treated him during his earlier FIV stage to buy his medicine but they refused to sell it without bringing Boboy along. I couldn't let him being treated there as I couldn't bare the medical costs. On monday I sent him to his vet although I knew he cannot be saved. The vet told me and my dad that he was very weak and already had a serious pneumonia but there is a chance for him to survived (she just said it but I saw her sad face while preparing various injections). He was not being admitted so I understand myself that Boboy was a goner...nothing can be done except to bring him home...care for him and preparing him for his final moment...resting and coming to realisation and acceptance that his 2 years life expectancy finally came to end (although we did expected him to survived longer by the look at his health last month).
This morning Boboy passed away at about 11am and I burried him alone around 12:30pm at my pets cemetary (my backyard). Well his mate Olie was there too...eating the "akar menggatal" I often fed them both whenever I went to this small backyard. Before I burried him, I inform my dad that boboy had died but he asked me to wait for a while afraid that he might still be alive. I informed my dad that Boboy died an hour ago but I had to make sure that he really left this world before I gave him the bad news. I then phoned my mom and told her bout Boboy departure. She took it well but still sadden of the fact that she couldn't see Boboy for the last time although she already told him this morning that she love him and willingly let him go to end his suffering right before going to work.
He faught his illness bravely and led a wonderful pampered life for more than 2 years after being diagnosed with FIV(not HIV as I mentioned earlier). The time had come for him to end his suffering. Me and my family will miss him alot...while we are griefing for his loss I can hear rats outside my house celebrating his passing. He was the greatest rat buster my family ever had which maybe the caused of his last battle because he ate virus spread rats/mice almost everyday for the past month. His immune system weaken every second of his life and his body cannot protect anymore disease or infection. Boboy was not a type of cat to be kept in cage. He was a 'taiko' in and outside my house and around Jalan 34-B neighbourhood.
It was my intention to make a tribute to him right after I burried him but my PC decided to perform a mourning day by refusing my logon again even after I reformatted her. Something is very wrong with that PC! Its not the application problem...must be some hardware failure. I'll look into the matter later coz now I'm still grieving for Boboy...the sokoke cat.
I'm blogging at my cousin's house. I just cannot stay at home...the memory of Boboy kept coming back to me. I cried over him...I even dream of him when I had a 5 minutes nap in the evening. He was not as close to me as my mom and my dad but he was part of my very small family...and I considered him as my furry brother. It felt like I was lossing my own adik.
Boboy...I love you...and I let you rest in peace. Thanks for the memories and joy you brought to the family. Me abah mak and Olie will miss you...but we know you are leaving us for your own good so...FAREWELL my dear SOKOKE CAT.

My Story : 4 Days In 1 Post
Been 4 days since I last updated this blog. Is this the sign that this blog will be deserted soon? Hope not! These were the things that happen to me this past few days.
Saturday
Supposed to buat makan2 on this day but postponed to sunday coz I need to fully recover from my fever first. Forgot to inform one of my friends, Wawa about the change in plan. She called to say she's on the way to my house while I was getting ready to leave the house. Until today I know she still upset with me coz she and her family drove all the way from Rawang to Cheras to beraya. Sorry Wawa! I asked her to come anyway (for kuih raya) but knowing I was planning to go out she decided not to come and headed to Jusco. Me and my mom then went to beraya at my cousin's house. Later we shop at Jucso Maluri for makan2 on sunday. Met Wawa there...awkward moment between us as I know she still pissed off with me hehehehe but I can't change anything but to live with it. By the way she didn't come on sunday makan2 nor replying my sms. She'll get over it...
Sunday
I invited some of my closest friends to makan2 as I am not planning on Open House this year. My dad, mom and me made our own food so thats why there were 3 different type of food on the menu : nasi minyak with dalcha, acar and ayam madu (mostly prepared by my dad), Mee Curry (prepared by my mom) and spaghetti (prepared by me). We were craving for these food since last week when all of us caught the fever/flu so sunday was the redemption day :)
I'm happy that most of my friends turned up. Pidah as usual was the first to arrived (she's a family + friend=famiend? ahaks) and Noli and family were the last to came at night, right before I cleared the table. Thanks guys for showing up. Appreciate it very much.
Monday
2 sad events occured to me simultaneously yesterday. My cat Boboy was dying and my PC refused to logon. Hoping that it was not too late to rescue Boboy, I brought him to vet knowing the chances to survive are very slim but possibility is there. He survived the 2 years of his critical HIV live so he might survive this one out although the vet said he's body is too week. Before that my computer decided to RIP just when I needed to use it the most! No way I'll let it die!! Tried every efforts to login but failed. Maybe she's angry with me coz I let a guy touched her the other day and then I "naked" her (well I only lifted of her casing) infront of him. He is only my pet bro la...nothing to be shy about! Anyway I decided to wiped off half of her memory by reformatting C drive and wallaa....she's as good as new...ALMOST (reminded me of that DiGi ads when the yellow toyol jumped off the rocket with parachute). Padan muka I lost a lot of important documents and photos as I often let those files in C drive instead of D drive.
Today
Boboy is in a very critical moment of his life as I saw him having difficulty breathing about 5 minutes ago. I have come to terms that he's not gonna make it and now struggling for his last breathe. I cried and weapped with him while I wiped his coat and clean his face. I just said my farewell and told him that I'm ready to let him go if that is the best thing for him. Last night I saw him in pain as he gripped my fingers while I gave him his medicine but I just couldn't let him go yet. Now when I saw him and heard his breathing sound my heart is ready to let him go in peace...I'll always love him and I'll remember him and the joy he brings to me and my family especiallyto my dad.

My Story : Raya Fever
When I said fever..I mean it literally. Runny nose on the third day of Raya and now fever. Sore throat, coughing, vomitting, muscle pain, headache...u name it and I got it. Was it the food or the excitement or the stress or simply the weather? Guess it is a bit of everything contributed to my current state. I am too damn dried up today. Can hardly take my butts off the bed this morning. Paid my price for a day out yesterday knowing I wasn't up for it.
I had both great fun and lousy health all together yesterday. Caught in bad fever in the morning...I still sent my mom's to her office and went back for another round of sleep til 12.30pm. I planned to upload my digicam photos at my mom's office but I was late to Nik's house for beraya session. Arrived at Nik's at half past 1. She cooked especially for me so how can I turn her down by saying I lost appettite due to the lack of smell and taste. Appreciate your effort of spending the whole morning cooking Nik! I did miss her cooking. Don't expect anything "normal" when Nik is in the kitchen as she is very adventurous when it comes to preparing healthy food and combining ingredients.
My pet bro Ali joined in an hour later. Despite my headache and sore throat, we had great evening talking and capturing sweet memories of our time in UK. I received a phone call from my cousing requesting some photos in my digicam. Now I remember why I need to make the upload. Thought I still could make it when picking up my mom in the evening. But soon a plan for a quick outing came out of the three of us since its been a while since we all spend time together and that was when I had my headache...still don't want to let them down so I grab 2 ponstan and walla...good to go.
I sent the car to my mom's office with Ali following behind then headed to the recently open New Garden at Midvalley megamall. Totally forgotten about the upload thingy. Browsed around the shops/boutiques. Honestly speaking the place is just not my kinda place to hang out. Too posh for an average girl like me. I'll stick with Jusco that fit my eyes, pocket and purse...hmmm made me realised that I don't have purse!! I only have pouch bag I carry around like nyonya sayur...minus the amound of money she had in hers. Need to buy a purse la...Jusco here I come!!!
Back to my yesterday...After New Garden we went to Uptown for dinner. I had Char Kuey Teow (not bad....just lack of kicap/soy sauce) and hot lemon tea. More chit chatting for another 2 hours. By this time I felt like a sick cat already. with cold and sweating...my mood quickly swung and Nik noticed my condition and called it a day. Thank goodness!!!
At home...found my bed and I passed out instantly without even bathe or change...woke up at 10am....10 hours of uninterrupted sleep and woke up with headache and back pain! What the tutttt...tired of sleeping I switch on this PC and here I am...blogging.
Anyway Pidah if you are reading this...say sorry to Nurul bout the photo kay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update this afternoon 17/10/2007 :
My mom came home during lunch hour. She must be bored in the office with nothing to do. At first I thought she took an MC coz everyone in the family now got the infectious flu (thanks to me) but my mom only came back for break. I can't stand being at home listening to my dad's "aduuhhhh.......demam....." moaning over and over so I followed my mom back to the office to upload photos and update this blog with the photos. What a dissapointment!! The internet connection is down from yesterday until tomorrow!!! Dang!!! Spending the whole evening trying to connect using all sorts of ways I can think of from streamyx to jaring from using router to direct connection without any success :(

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!
Thursday, October 11, 2007
My Story : Night Out Around Town
Yesterday evening I joined a small gathering with old friends from college at Suria KLCC. Spent the evening buka puasa updating each other's life and sharing info about other AIMians. I had a great evening with them...while at the same time watching the live telecast of Soyuz-TMA-11 launching, the rocket that carry Malaysia's first astronaut Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor from the TV screen at 4th floor RASA foodcourd. Yep...we were having our gathering at foodcourt and not in a buffet restaurant like we planned earlier.
I ate Asam pedas Wantan Mee with a glass of Ice Lemon Tea and a black coffee. The mee tasted "pelik" and I had hard time swollowing. Ended up eating just half of it. Not sure whether it was the excitement of chatting with friends or the mee is indeed taste a bad as it looked. Lucky me...the drinks covered it well...the coffee is good. Never like the fodcourt drink before but thumb's up for the Kopi O I had yesterday.
Came back home at 10 and out again around 10.30pm with my cousin Pidah. The plan was to picked up my other cousin Nurul who is coming back for Hari Raya at Puduraya station around 1:30am. We left early to window shopping at Jusco Maluri where I decided to have my second meal at McDonald. I was so hungry that I had large happy meal of BigMac. The actual "Large" in McD is pathetic. A large coke is actually just medium size and the fries were too thin. Maybe I'm saying this coz I'm a Whopper girl where large is large and big is big. Poor westerners who dine in McD expecting the large potion here is the same as the one in their countries. Ahhh..forget it.
Lets continue...spent time at McD til 12 then headed to Tesco Ampang where my cousin unintentionally bought herself window blinds. Left Tesco at 1am. Pidah (who was driving) felt very sleepy...made a quick stop at Mesra Petronas to buy our night booster Nescafe Original. After an instant "refreshing mind, body and eyes" we later took a night cruise around town from Jalan U-Thant to Jalan Ampang to Jalan Sultan Ismail to Jalan Bukit Bintang back to Jalan Sultan Ismail to Jalan Dang Wangi to Jalan Raja Laut to Jalan Kinabalu to Jalan Travers to Midvalley to Jalan Maarof to Jalan Parlimen and lastly to Jalan Tun Perak and waited for Nurul infront of Maybank Tower. She arrived around 2am and we went straight home.
Unfortunately my digicam's batery was dead flat I can't snap photos of beatiful KL and some interesting events that took place along our way like the empty street of Jalan Sultan Ismail, the massive traffic jam along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman at 1:30am and vehicles from vans to 4 wheels to kancils parked on the road dividers near Campbell.
Back at home I forced myself to sleep with great difficulty. How can I sleep with Ice Lemon tea, Black coffee, Coke and Nescafe all consumed in less than 6 hours? Phenylalanine plus caffeine=increased energy level...what did I do with the excessive energy that I had? Channel it into cleaning and reshuffling stuffs in the kitchen til dawn. What a night/morning...

Aidilfitri Mood : Favourite Raya Ads
I don't have anything bout me to blog. But since I'm in Aidilfitri mood I'd like to share some of Aidilfitri advertisements from petronas. Every year Petronas came out with interesting story. The messages are very deep and meaningful with beautiful cinematography...and more importantly the values each of these ads carried within their storylines are priceless. These ads can make you cry...make you smile...make you laugh...or just make you wonder about your own life.

David Armand aka Johann Lipowitz
I was looking for Natalie Imbruglia's song Torn on YouTube to put on this blog when I came across a mimed version of the song "impersonated" by this guy called "Johann Lipowitz". I was so impressed with him that I wiki him and found out that the name is just a character to potray an Austrian "interpretive dance artist". His real name is David Armand, an english comedian and actor. He made mimed version of songs and you can watch it all here! Check out the lyrics while watching and you'll understand his interpretation better. Enjoy!

Impressive eh? Not the menu...but the prices. Can you find anything below RM40? Yes but after adding the ++ (for 15% tax) every buffet will cost us over RM40. How much can you eat during buka puasa? Not much if you have less than 1 hour! Why 1 hour? Off course you have to pray la kan? Unless you perform maghrib before going to this buffet or left the buffet in the middle of iftar and comes back later than fine (which I doubt most people would do coz everyone knows it too well that all good food will be gone when you come after iftar).
Ramadhan is a holly month for all good deeds and a way to appreciate those too poor to even eat and drink. Spending RM50 to Rm100 per person for buka puasa??? Crazy! Imagine 7 person dining in a buffet of RM75 : 75X7 = R525. That's why I said over-priced ramadhan buffet is a waste of money and those who went for it is laute. Well no i'm not using too strong of words but the fact is there...just open our mind...and our heart to see the truth behind this irressistable buffets everyone's kept bragging about when deciding where to go for ramadhan gatherings.

Reflection : Old Blog Entry 2
19 March 2005
Been thinking alot lately...about where I'm heading towards this life...how I want my future to be and what have I done that lead me to live this path I'm currently passing through. I've changed my directions so many times before. Now when I am ready to settled down, voices inside my head is trying to confuse me again like before...kinda "inner enemy" within oneself that either make you or break you.
I've been waiting all my life to be in the state where I am at the moment. Started the job I was looking for with the company I trust would lift me up profesionally...yet i feel so empty inside. Start work in early morning, staring at computer screen all day while knocking the keyboard in rhythms, little communication with team-mates (coz I don't speak chinese), and then come home in late evening. Life goes in loops for 5 days. Weekend seems like a day only. Will this be what I wanna do for the next 2 years (gonna renew the 2 years contract in June) or should I allow the "inner enemy" to shift my path again? But where to go? It gonna be the same loop no matter where I settle in the career world. Well most people lead the same life and still looking strong why can't I?!!.
Me....mumbling to myself about this in the wee hours....gheee....get a life dear. Thank goodness its saturday...miss my student life so badly...Ok gonna stop now or I'll go on and on writing pointless shit...

Looking back at this entry flashes the current state of my life. Still thinking about where I'm heading towards this life. Why can't I get over this and move on. Live life that was shown to me? Why I am still desperate looking for something that might not be part of me? Am I forcing myself too hard? I don't think so. Maybe that's the answer. I'm not pushing myself hard enough to get what I want.
Man United vs Wigan Athletic (EPL)
Date : 6/10/2007
Result : Man United 4 - 0 Wigan
Goals : Carlos Tevez (54), Cristiano Ronaldo (59 & 76), Wayne Rooney (82)
I didn't watch the match actually. Totally forgot about it as I am too busy clearing stuffs in 2 dozens stacked boxes I had in my room and then re-arranging bed and other furnitures. I'm too damn tired to remember bout anything else.
So no match highlights from me...but I would like to quote a statement from the official Man United website about tonight's game.
Looking at the table below, United may take a very short lead to be on the number one spot since they already played 9 games compared to other teams with only 7 and 8 games. But still mancunians around the world are celebrating the comeback of Reds Army.
I'm off now chanting Glory Glory Man United!

My Story : Me and Nik and Hot Choc
Yesterday I went to my friend's house to visit her mother who just had a cervic operation. Her name is Nik and she was my housemate when I studied in Nottingham. It suprises me that we are still good friends knowing that we didn't share same interests, both with very different characters and principles that won't constituted one another. In fact we're very different in many ways...most ways but close enough to understand the meaning of friendship. For 2 years of living together we've experienced life's twists and turns. There were happy moments and sad memories...we laughed, talked, faught and cried over things... I took her as herself although I hope we had the same passions in life. Whatever it is, I'm grateful to have her as a friend.
Back to yesterday, I made a quick stop at Cheras Ramadhan Bazaar to buy Kuih Akok before heading to Nik's house at Damansara Height. After light iftar and solat, we went out and hangout at this place called Hot Chocolate Cafe somewhere around her house. Nice little cafe with great ambience, quiet yet cozy setting in a dim light complete with candle made me feel like dating in a romantic over-priced exotic restaurant. But no we're not dating la. She's a girl and I'm straight hahahaha. We ordered Amaritciana pizza (Beef, chilli, onion, tomato, cheese and herbs) and I had Strawberry chocolate (with ice cream) while Nik had Choc Coffee. I like her drink better than mine coz the taste of coffee was stronger than choc. I love the pizza! We stayed until the cafe closed at 11pm. I'd love to stay longer as me and Nik were having great time chit chatting but the staffs kept looking at us with the look that said "GO HOME!!! talk somewhere else...we're closing".
I still recommend this place to anyone who likes fresh Italian style pizza and hot choc/cold choc with other combinations like coffee, banana and strawberry. I will surely come back for more :) Anyway here's the address & contact info :
My Story : The way I feel Today
My body just gave in after days of constant tireness. With no sleep over 24 hours I finally slept like a baby today. The sound of thunders with rain pouring heavily outside my window just woke me up this late afternoon. Despite my drained self, I can hear my heart singing a happy tune joining my mind rapping joyful words. The warmth of my room mixing with the cold outside blending so peacefully with my soul. Why am I feeling the way I feel? I don't know. Suddenly all possitive energies emerge towards me. I get this great vibes surrounding me. Not only I feel rejuvenated but I sense the bright light is shining me and show me that life is not so bad afterall. There are others facing greater challenges and hardship than me. The world is round...and this life is turning just like the world. Full of ups and downs. There are days with sunshine and nights with clear moonlight but there are also cloudy days and pitch black nights. No matter how a day turns to the next day and the day after...moving forward...thats life...and that is how we should live this life.
I am not a philosopher nor trying to be one...but this thing just came through my mind without me realising it. My fingers tapping the keyboard effordlessly while my brain is working its wonder...which make me wonder again...why am I feeling the way I feel? I don't know but surely enjoying this momment where nothing seems impossible and future doesn't seems so shut down for me. I just need to make a move. I must find what I want because what I want will not find me if I don't take the effort to find it.

I'm very tired...clearing dusts and reshuffled living room's furnitures, polished sofa, changed curtains, washed plastic flowers and all other clearing and cleaning...usual things to do just before Hari Raya/Aidilfitri. Started at 8:30pm til 3am...no wonder my legs are still numb.
Actually I just came back from mamak's. Too tired to cooked so I drag my mom to this 24hr restaurant at Taman Kobena Cheras. I had mee goreng with iced lemon tea for sahur. I'm supposed to feel sleepy now but somehow I'm wide awake. So here I am blogging and listening to music. What kind of music I listen to during this wee hour? Here's my playlist :

Man United vs AS Roma
UEFA Champions League - Group Stage - Matchday 2
Date : 2/10/2007 (3/10/2007 2:30am Malaysia time)
Result : Man United 1 - 0 AS Roma (Goal by Wayne Rooney 70')
Much anticipated match tonight by United supporters and football followers everywhere. Did Red Devils stemrolled Roma again tonight? The answer is "No"...but once again AS Roma left Old Trafford defeated, only this time minus the embarrasment like their last visit in April when United scored 7 goals to 1 during last season's 2nd leg quarter final.
I'm not gonna give a highlight of the match coz I'm terrible at writing football reviews or even to give proper terms to describe the match. So I'll leave it to the sport columnists to do their job :) however I'd like to share few facts with you guys:
Fact 1:
I watched the match online using SopCast as I had to multitasking...watching football, updating flickr, reply emails bla bla bl...OK actually my ASTRO is barred coz I haven't pay the bill yet hahahaha. That was the only reason for watching football from a small screen with lousy streaming quality :(
Fact 2:
It was a boring first half for me coz both team played it safe. I dozed off for few seconds during the match. Blame it on the nasi lemak I ate earlier. Even the strong Kluang Station coffee can't prevent me from falling asleep.
Fact 3:
Rooney scored during second half with a wonderful reverse shot just after Ronaldo's goal was called off as referee blew the whistle for offside.
Fact 4:
United had used all the subs during this match so they played with 10 men after Ronaldo left the pitch with blood splurged from the cut near his eye.
Fact 5:
I miss Italy team whenever I saw Totti on screen...can't wait for the next world cup! Why can't we have the cup yearly? *Sigh*
I'll try to find the highlight from YouTube later...Signing off for now! Chanting Glory Glory Man United all the way to bed.
Simple Plan : Crazy
Another song from Simple Plan. I listen to them coz I love the way messages are conveyed in their songs...meaningful lyrics that let us think of life and world issues while enjoying their music.
Simple Plan : Crazy
Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They wont stop 'til they've reached their dreams
Diet pills, surgery
Photoshop pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong
I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's world war III
No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
Money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going onIf you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong
Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?
Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV's
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something
something is wrong
Is everybody going Crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

My Story : Jalan-jalan Cari Makan
Just came back from "jalan jalan cari makan" with my mom. The original plan was to buy Kuih Akok (a kelantanese traditional sweet pasties) at Cheras Downtown Ramadhan Bazaar. Arrived there around 8:30pm but the stalls were already closed! I thought they're going to open til 9 or 10pm. A little dissapointed, I felt like having a glass of Kluang Station's Iced Coffee. So off we went to Tesco Ampang and "lepak" there. Surprisingly, I bumped into 2 old friends. I'm happy that they are still a couple tho no rings yet on both fingers. We went to the same college and then flew to UK together. Had a great time having them in Nottingham and then visited them at Teesside. I did some traveling with them too to Alton Towers, London and Newcastle. Old memories flashes back when I think of them whom I called "Pa and Ma". We sort of lost contact for a while coz nobody tried to keep in touch with each other after we went back to Malaysia (my excuse: Busy getting on with life...them:I don't know). So its good to meet again after a long long time...tho unintentionally.
Anyway back to the original post! After Tesco, me and my mom decided to drived around town covering Jalan Ampang and the Golden Triangle. Made a quick stop at Kampung Baru to buy Nasi Lemak for sahur then headed to Bukit Bintang. The new Pavillion mall at the old Bukit Bintang Girl School(BBGS) looks very impressive from the outside. I was looking for a view of Tun Dr Mahathir's bakery shop called "The Loaf" but missed it. One day I will definately come and try the unique iced coffee and a croissant at The Loaf as suggested by Tun's daughter Marina in her blog. The Bukit Bintang area is still jam packed at 11pm...that place is never sleep...heaven to tourists and those who enjoy late strolls like me back during my college years.
Now I'm back at home...just ate half of the nasi lemak meant for the sahur and now waiting for the Man United match against Roma.
I snapped some photos but my usb port is still kapoot and I forgot to give my cousin the memory card to upload to her PC. Dang this desktop need a major upgrade...or a replacement really! But I love "her" so dearly to let her go. With AMD Athlon processor 1.10GHz and 240MB of RAM, I wonder how I can still survive with this darling all these years. We've been through some good times and bad times together. I can't live without her even for a day. She witnessed the struggles I had with my programming codes and designs back during my studies and my jobs up until now. She still loyal to me eventhough I've erased her memories few times, left her naked in the open and always let her worked days and nights without sleep for over 72 hours.
OK OK OK I know I'm out of the post topic and sounded like lesbian...but let me continue a little bit more so she knew I'm praising her. Why my PC is a she and not he??? Coz only girls/women has the qualities of strengths, determination, bravery, hardworks and loyalty despite self limitations...just like what my PC has shown me. I am a feminist although I don't consider myself a feminine but I do sounds like one hehehe...
My Story : Talk about Sleep
It was raining the whole day yesterday. A good time for hot coffee...except that we're in the fasting month so what else good to go other than coffee when you're at home and the weather is wet, cold and gloomy? Sleep! And that was what I did from 9am to 1pm . But there was a price to pay whenever I sleep during the day. I can't turn myself off at night. So here I am blogging at 6am wide awake since yesterday afternoon. I know I'll feel sleepy around 8 or 9am...but I just can't let myself fall asleep coz my sleeping patern/timing will definately change if I do.
I had sleeping problem since a long time ago. 5 hours sleep is good enough for me. If I overslept then it will be hard to sleep again the next night. Even when I tried to sleep I'll end up wandering through to senseless minds and wasteful time in bed with eyes open wide *sigh*...are these some kind of psycological illness symptoms or it just the normal cycle in girls' life? I dunno...but the only time I can easily fall asleep is when I'm crashing at someone else's place. Well I guess sleeping on others bed is more comfy than on my own bed.
I need to find something to do...can't just sit here knocking on keyboard pads and staring at the screen until I yawn coz it will never happen. I must find work to do! Something non-IT. Ahh...found one! There's a rusty gate to be repaint outside the house. Better I'll do it now before someone else do it (that will be my mom!). Hope its going to be a sunny day today but the dawn sky view from my bedroom window doesn't look promising. I'm off now!!! Enjoy yourself...whatever you're planning to do today...whether you're in the office or at home or on vacation or in hell of mess...just try to enjoy yourself kay!!!
