Well, one of my best friend, Along responded to my post about high school...hahaha..Didn't thought that she'll reply on that post.
Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about my high school years..Definitely I missed those years..Who doesn't right? It was a honeymoon years, in fact sweeter than that [despite I got bullied a few times before]...I was a nerd back then but managed to get out of my cocoon now..Thanks to college years...A few bunch of crazy friends....I don't have high school pictures...It's in the safekeeping of Along...Seriously I don't mind going back to the glorious years and I'll say that I don't regret it....It was extraordinary fun...
Some things you can't replace. Like the bathroom door you broke when you broke up with your high school sweetheart, or when you have to stand on the science lab table when you didn't submit your homework..All those are memories created over time or years in school..So along the way, you meet new friends at work or college, you still can't forget the things in secondary school no matter how bad you had...It has been implanted in your brain...But I'm glad, what ever things that have changed, one thing for sure that will never change is the friendship existed between the 7 of us...I miss them...
But at 1 point you wonder, will these friends think of you as how you think of them often....
I DIED!!
Dear readers,
Sadly to inform that my lappy has died on me. I guess Aceries knows that she has to 'go' after 4 years of service. Therefore I'm trying to find a place or someone that could fix it or get a new one which there's 1 model that I'm eyeing on...
So please, pleaseeee expect some delays in posting as I only have access on my work desktop...

what lacked in our society
Went out for lunch yesterday. Was suppose to pack lunch home but end up having them in McD's. Since I'm out, I thought why not buy DVDs since I've got a DVD player at home [recently bought in SenQ, it was a display set but in good condition, RM99, cheap isn't it]. So I bought 6 DVD for RM30, each is RM5 which is RM1 more expensive compare to Batu Ferenggi.
It saves money rather than going for movie. Definitely you have to spend on snacks. At least a soft drink...
Anyway, there's one movie, The Blindside starring Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Touhy, Tim McGraw as Sean Touhy, Jae Head as Sean Touhy [youngest son] or S.J, Lily Collins as Collins [oldest daughter] and lastly the main cast is Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher or Big Mike.
This movie was produced in 2009 based on a true story . It is about a husband and wife[yes, they're white], Leigh Anne Touhy and Sean Touhy who take in a homeless African-American, Michael 'Big Mike' Oher. Michael has never know who his father was and his mother was a drug addict. Michael have not had any formal education or skills to help him learn [he also never own a bed to sleep before]. The Touhys doesn't only gave him a home to stay but also shower him with care and love he always needed from a family. They also hire a tutor to help him improve in his education to the point he would qualified for NCAA Division 1 athletic scholarship [ I don't have a clue what that is].
A poor,uneducated and over sized teenager is recruited by a major football program where he was groomed to become an athletically and academically successful NFL prospect. Read more about Michael Oher here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Oher
I cried when watching this movie. It brings out the selfishness in us. You feel so lucky for who you're and brings out the humbleness in you. So check out this movie. You can get the DVD in a local DVD shop.....If I have all the money in the world, I will do the same but sadly I can't afford...
wanna keep my hair long
Will post my wish list some time soon......
picture is for illustration purpose only
I used to have long locks but decided to cut short right after I start working due to certain reasons (hair dropping, itchy scalp, take too long to to dry and etc)...It has been short ever since... I don't have the discipline of taking care long hair so I thought it is better to go short.. But seeing other girls with long hair, when they can do many type of styles, make me wanna have long hair as well but should I?
I have itchy scalp problem and oily hair texture. I have tried numerous type of shampoos but none of it works...If anyone has any idea which shampoo that you can recommend me, do so.... Just email me will do or leave a comment okay...I'm not sure how long will it take for me to get my long hair locks back..
i cooked gulai kawah...fuyooo!!
For the first time ever, I cooked gulai kawah beef...I took me just about an hour from preparing the ingredients to the finishing good:-)..I planned to cook daging masak cili api but it seems hard and I was hungry, so I thought, gulai kawah is almost similar to curry, so why not I cooked that... Came back from work, defrosted the beef, took the coconut milk out, onions, sugar and salt of course......

You guys should try this perencah... All you need to do is add in beef/chicken, coconut milk, a 'lil bit of salt and sugar and you're good to go, your home made gulai kawah..Ini lah hidangan orang bujang kan....I didn't expect that ready made perencah would taste this good...
down to memory and RCQ...What RCQ???

A blog post in the famous Vivy's blog reminded me of my good 'ol school days. I follow her blog every single day. It is amazing how a young lady who's obviously younger than me [duh!] is juggling so many things in her hand...Girl power I'd say....
Anyway, it kind of reminded me of my high school years...Oh btw, happy birthday to along [a very best friend of mine]. She's turning 27 this year...Gosh, it will be my turn after this...We were thrashers in school..We even have a group by the name RCQ [Ransack Chics Quest] and you know what, we even have a little evil BLACK BOOK...Where we jot down all the secrets about everyone in school...Hahaha..Don't be deceived with our tudung appearance...If I'm not mistaken we have 7 members [all girls] in the group...We were considered as the pioneer group in school...Even some of the teachers hated us...And we even caused a teacher to 'resigned' in teaching our class and some even cried...The BLACK BOOK is in the safe-keeping of Along...Will get her to bring it back to Penang to let us read...AHahahahaha...It would be fun...
I miss my school days...Carefree and nothing to worry about...The only thing you need to worry is EXAM...I hate that part..I guess everyone's the same....Well, we can't turn back time, can't we? I'm glad that all of us are still friends for the past 14 years and I guess still going strong...
what's amazing in life
I've never thought these little things could make our day.
Everything is true in the list except I don't favor the part which is 'talking on the phone till 5am'.
Thanks but I rather sleep like a Sleeping Beauty

Well, got back from USM library earlier on. Preparing for final exam with Mr.Benson. Sadly Jason couldn't join us. If not group study session would be fun. Had lunch with Mr.Benson at a foodcourt nearby. Eyes was watery as I didn't get enough sleep the day before. I've gone insane for the past 2 weekends. I woke up at 7.30am on a Saturday morning thinking that I was late to work. See what I meant??? Since I attended a face-to-face session with some of the coordinators including a few lecturer regarding our oversea attachment many weeks back, I've been thinking non stop of having a little trip to the UK or US since I'm gonna be there for at least 3 weeks, so why not take the opportunity to spend some time there. As a holiday. That is just one of my many destination that I've planned to go. Budget is the important thing. Insyaallah, if everything goes fine, it would be next year...Woohhoo..
It has been a very long time since I go for a holiday. The last was in India which is 3 years back maybe??...I think so...but ever since daddy retired, the furthest destination is Singapore which is every year as mummy is a citizen there..Not much of a big deal actually. I've been thinking of taking a few months off from work after my MBA, maybe travel around Europe a little then a few in 3rd world country... I know, I know...$$ needed... So for those who has a little compassion towards me, I'll be willing to accept your donations starting today...hahahahaha..ya rite. Like anyone will donate $$ for me to go on a holiday...Sucks... Having to travel half of the globe is an amazinggggggg thing. You got to see different perspective of life. I used to travel overseas when daddy was still working and it was a great experience. There's the sad part that you don't want to see and it makes you appreciate life more. There's also the interesting part where you don't get to see everyday in your normal routine. There's also some part that will make you shed your tears and I've esperienced that so I don't want to go down that path that I've seen in other people's life....
decision making
The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
~David Russell
The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
~Flora Whittemore
Decision making is an everyday thing in life. The differences are whether it is hard or easy to decide or, whether it is life and death. Having to many choices is also bad as it will leave you undecided. Heard before 'best decision in life sometimes is not making decision'. Some people decide to take a longer and harder path in their life but some just want the easy way out. People who take the route where nobody else want are better in decision making and they're stronger as they've been through a lot in order to achieve what they have now. But not everyone is tough. Confidence is the key to decision making. Confident that you'll be able to handle what ever that comes in your way after deciding. I know it is hard but at one point of your life, you will definitely be standing at a cross route when both route are as important. It is a matter of priority after that.
read this and ponder...

Read 10 things to learn from Japan AND learn to give rather than take.
Things are not doing well in Japan. It is far from better. Let us all pray for them. It is the biggest catastrophe ever in history.
Imagine this kind of natural disaster happens in Malaysia, will we be as strong as they are?
past days
I have been busy reading journals for exam. Having to read so many articles make my vision double and tired. I'm not even half way through my studies but everything seems so difficult. Juggling work and study at the same time needs patience and strength. It drains out all your energy that by the time you have spare time for yourself, all you wanna do is SLEEP...YES, SLEEP!
The more I read these journals, the more my head spins. It seems endless and there's pages and pages and pages that I have to remember. Plus I have a memory of a gold fish...Great isn't it.. Sometimes, I would question myself whether am I dreaming or is this for real..
true isn't it?
sometimes, we have no clue, that our words and actions left a big impact on others. we dont know the damages we caused for breaking a person's heart and feelings. sometimes, we dont realize, just how inconsiderate and selfish we are. and sometimes, we forgot, we used to get hurt, long time ago. we hated the person who left the scars. we fall, and we break into million pieces. we cried all night long, because we can actually feel the heart is breaking. and then, just when we have learned not to feel the pain, why... why we've become the person we hated at the first place? we turned into everything we said we'd never be... sometimes, we have no clue, that our words and actions left a big impact on others. we dont know the damages we caused for breaking a person's heart and feelings. sometimes, we dont realize, just how inconsiderate and selfish we are. and sometimes, we forgot, we used to get hurt, long time ago. we hated the person who left the scars. we fall, and we break into million pieces. we cried all night long, because we can actually feel the heart is breaking. and then, just when we have learned not to feel the pain, why... why we've become the person we hated at the first place? we turned into everything we said we'd never be...

geli and disgusted
I've been noticing this kind of news lately in the newspaper. It has been a widespread disease among our citizens especially the older generations. I wonder how can this happen especially when you're already married...This is so disgusting and immoral behaviour. Has our dignity and pride gone down the drain. And he's 55 years old and expect a sixteen years old girl will keep her mouth shut from her parents. Stupid isn't it???...Even sent her home after it happened...OOHH gosh.. Where did he put his brain..At his knee or what?? This is sickening. And one more thing, how can she not know that banks do not open on Sunday? I'm not sure the reason why she doesn't know as I don't want to put words into her mouth. I guess she'll be traumatised for the rest of her life. People has become animal. Even animal has sense of sympathy.
I am GLEEk, are you?
http://youtu.be/AeN-8PsLHJ4 So, while revising my work, one thing came across my tiny little head. A grand entrance of me and my future husband at my wedding. How cool right. Coincidently there's a song of Marry YOu in Glee version which sounds cheeker, colorful and lively than the original one. Maybe because they're Glee. They tend to exxagarate every single song they sing but in a nice way:-) http://youtu.be/RmIcimA1N9w?hd=1 I love this episode of Glee where they sang MJ's version of Thriller but they meshed it up in a unique beat. It was awesome that I kept watching it on You Tube since then. Their dance routine were damn good and make-up I should say.
fashion speaks
Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma.
Fashion is something that comes after style.
See what I meant...This is only one of her many pictures...I loike!!!
life is hard indeed
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life.
