FML

Another scar added.

Just great, before CNY.

All by Myself

This NEVER fails to give me the goosebumps every time I listen to this.

If only I have half of her powerful vocal. Hehe

Micheal Jackson’s “This Is It” by Filipino prison inmates

Wow, they’re hitting the news again. I’m sure most of us have heard about the infamous Filipino dancing inmates when they made the wave over the Internet for dancing to Micheal Jackson’s Thriller.

Ok, just in case you missed it, check the video out, which made them popular.

“Since the viral video of Filipino prison inmates dancing to “Thriller” was posted on-line back in July, it’s received over 10 million views.

To celebrate the DVD release of the late Micheal Jackson’s documentary This Is It, Jackson’s choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid went to the Cebu Provincial Dentention and Rehabilitation Center and staged this FANTASTIC dance tribute to the pop star with 1500 inmates to “They Don’t Really Care About Us.”"

Cool! 

Buffet buffet buffet

I finally did my hair. Re-did. Had to spend my time at the saloon from 2.40pm to 7.45pm. I know, that long in the name of beauty. The outcome? I love the colour, but can’t say much about the whole image. Looks like ………………………. Ah Lian.    -.-  *Roar* *Bares teeth*

Anyway, had to rush all the way to Pullman Hotel. It was 大哥大’s birthday and I was very late.  Parking is still free!

First time stepping into Pullman. No time to look around but headed straight to its restaurant.

Hmmm, the double Z’s kinda reminded me about something. We tried their buffet dinner.

Some of the buffet spread. The bottom right pic is oyster.

[Dreckker, don't worry. Kalah Hilton. ]

Mostly local food. The only international food, I would think, was the Mexican Tortilla Wrap. I know, the fruits and salad pics are not appetizing enough. Was too hungry that I didn’t snap much of the main course(s) that I had. But hey, the dessert I had was yummy. Hot muffin choc in 2nd pic! *Drool* Sinful indulgence.

Overall, the food was good. Not too bad. A bit pricey at RM69++ per pax. Service was very good, maybe coz there’s not many people around on weekdays or it’s still new or they’re just that good.

Nah, to anyone’s that interested. BBQ dinner buffet as promoted from their banner. Top up for free flow alcohols.

Tick tock tick tock

Gosh. It just seems like a while ago, I welcomed 2010 with full hope. January will end soon. Yikes.

CNY is FAST approaching. In a way, it’s something I look forward to, for merry making and soaking in the festive season after missing it for ages. On another way, I don’t really look forward to it, coz time is ticking fast.

I need a miracle.

The year that twas – 2009

I never really understand a bittersweet in something. It’s either, yes or no, black or white. There’s no in between.

2009 was different. It was bittersweet.

Jan 2009 – Traveled to Shanghai with my family for CNY. I like taking pictures but I dropped my camera and it died on me half way. Felt so unequipped, restless  and ended taking pictures with my very canggih handphone. A kind uncle pitied me and let me play with his camera.

Beautiful view from The Bund, Shanghai.

Out from my expectation, Hang Zhou is surprisingly mesmerizing with its breathtaking scenery.

Camera KO-ed on me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May – Traveled to Europe, my dream destination, covering Barcelona, Paris and London. Never in my wildest dream thought I’ll be able to leave my foot print in these countries and I have to really thank AirAsia for their super bargain flight, connecting KL and London, Stansted. 2 weeks of backpacking and walking like there’s no tomorrow, breathing in every sights, scenes, cultures and people. I wish to be back again someday.

The Columbus Monument near Las Ramblas, Barcelona. A colourful city and creative Catalans. The city is always immensed in lively cultures.

The sea is their life.

Eiffel Tower, Paris. Although it is just an old, communication tower, but being the most infamous landmark in the world, it just took my breath away. The sight, the smell, and just being there, it was wonderful. Paris is beautiful with art adorning every crook and corner of the city.

London is a blend between the modern and old times. Being a metropolitan, it is civilised and clean. The other smaller cities outside London are beautiful places with great sceneries.

June -  After being a faifthul commuter for soooooo long, this was my blackest day in LRT. Both thighs were highly inflamed  by unidentified sources on the edge of the seats. Could be super unhygienic or someone was playing a prank. Was super paranoid and emo that it’ll leave a disgusting scar.

One of my thigh. Scary or not? Emo or not? Crazy sial.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10 July 2009 – Dad had an operation. Caught everyone off guard, especially me. Was diagnosed with 3rd stage colon cancer, which had infected his bladder as well.  My mum and I waited outside the operation room with bated breath. I only saw this in movies and dramas, where family members were waiting anxiously, not knowing how long the operation will last or whether it’ll be successful. It was the most horrible feeling ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

14 September 09 – Slipped down from the monorail station’s staircase on a Monday morning! Suffered slight bruises and scratches on elbow and a loud thump on the butt. Ouch! A very good wake up call.

Bruises and scratches. Scars again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

15 September 09 – It was really becoming like the dramas. When I received a call from my Dad barely after working hours, I have an inkling feeling I don’t want to answer the call. My mum had an accident. My mind went blank. I still remember where I was, at The Gardens, just finishing my appointment with a client. So much that I wanted to hold on to myself and be strong, my tears won’t listen to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

16 September 09 – Flew back to Kuching via MAS. AirAsia seats were totally sold out since it was the Hari Raya weekend. My mum was already discharged in the mornng.

When I reached home, I smelt of thick, burning smoke from our car porch. As I opened the door, my whole house was engulfed in smoke and I could hardly see anything! I ran to the kitchen and saw three badly burnt eggs in a blackened boiling sauce. It was just being turned off minutes before I arrived home. My dad left it boiling and went out, totally forgetting about it. My mum, fall asleep on the sofa, not knowing anything. Our neighbours from behind saw our kitchen in thick smoke, gave a call to another neighhour on our left, who were away for a holiday in KL with the whole family. That Aunty gave a call to my mum, just in time to wake her up, and my mum gathered herself up to turn off the gas.

I’ve no time to think too much of the burning incident when I saw how my mum had suffered from the accident. Swollen and bruised face, bruised arms, chest, and legs, and pain all over the body. My heart wrenched and I put on a strong front for her.

It was a very close call. Just days ago, I dreamt of my house being close to burnt down. Really.

My mum’s car in Sin Chew Daily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

9 October 2009 – Have been traveling to and fro between KL and Kuching. But made the decision to be back to Kuching for a while. I have been moving my things and packing like mad for a few days. Did things that needed to be done. Settled issues that needed to be settled. My friends sort of have a farewell cum gathering for me. We met up after work for some happy hours. It was fun and my heart felt heavy. But I told myself, it’s only temporary.

After that, we headed to a mamak nearby for teh tarik. Everything was well, those feeling tipsy were getting sober. Then it was time to head back. I insisted on taking the tab. Bad farewell to some friends. As I walked over to the cashier counter to pay, I slightly have to balance myself. Weird, I never have to take that long to be sober. I didn’t drink much either. The mamak was busy punching in the figures on the cash register. I remembered handing him RM20 and expected for his change. Then, everything turned black.

As I regained my consciousness slightly, I thought I was in dream. Felt like I was waking up from my sleep. Only then, I heard the voices of Miss L and Miss M. And I knew what was happening. Beginning to feel pain on the places that I hit into. Friends had to help me to the car and brought me home. It was embarrassing and luckily, the mamak wasn’t crowded. And I wasn’t in skirt.

Miss L recounted the events to me the next day. I blacked out and swayed to the right, hitting my head hard and knocking my shoulder against the pillar and ending with a loud thud on my bum on the floor. Yes, the same side of the butt when I felt down the stairs barely a month ago.

Until today, I associated the incident as fatique. And it doesn’t mix well with alcohol. I was feeling like crap. Not from a hangover, but from the pain on my head, neck, shoulder and butt. I was walking like a duck. Didn’t help much after consulting a Chinese masseur. IF only I had fallen to the left, onto Miss L, I won’t be in such agony.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

11 October 2009 – I was back in Kuching, temporarily. The best decision I thought I have made, although, I have to give up a lot of things, and it wasn’t easy. Maybe, with all of these things happening, it was my calling to back, just for a while. Maybe it wasn’t too bad after all. Priority is to nurse them back to health, the soonest possible. And I was still feeling like crap and walking like a duck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

27 October 2009 – Ok, not a big deal, but, the cutting board fall and hit my foot. Ouch!

I’m not known to be a blur person, but… oh well. Just my luck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

December 2009 – I was missing my independence and freedom. I was quite busy at home, running errands and chores. Weird, I wanted a break from a break. Had a chance for a getaway to Penang and attended Miss M’s wedding in KL. It was great to see everyone again.

Tanjung Bungah, Penang.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, it was bittersweet. Many more happy occasions but just highlighting the major ones.

I sincerely hope and wish that from year 2010 onwards, things will be better.

Never really had a resolution, but now I have.

1) Be happy always.

2) Be healthy and fit always.

3) Be pretty always.

Simple stuff, but very hard to do.

What’s your resolutions?

Happy new year everyone.

Don’t ever do this…

… to your loved ones. For a broken heart is hard to mend and will leave a scar, forever.

One of the great songs from Landy.

Darn, another emo song.

AVATAR AVATAR AVATAR

I’ve been bombarded by how good this movie is – left, right, up, down, left, right, up, down.

And so, after being movie-less for sooooooo long, I caught this movie and it left me breathless.

It is that F.R.E.A.K.I.N.G. A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

I wanna watch again , this time in 3D because I think it will really bring out all those creatures and exotic surrounding to live.

P/S: Just came to know that James Cameron (the Director) took more than 10 years to make this movie.  O.o Watch only the originals, guys! Don’t wanna waste his effort and talent and you will enjoy this movie to the max, only in cinema.

Merry Christmas everyone! Happy holidays no matter where you are.

My one and only Christmas pressie for this year!

Thanks SC! Although you shouldn’t be troubling yourself to return my favour in MC-ing for your wedding, but I love it! Means a lot to me, seriously. =)

Human Instinct

Do you believe in your instinct sometimes?
The feeling that something will happen although it might be ridiculous or even impossible or just, might not be happening?

The uncanny, unproven, unknown feeling that you absolutely have no proof that it will happen?

But sometimes instinct can be a false alarm, in a good way.

And I hope I get mine wrong too.

Females.
