Purchases

to buy or not to buy...
to buy...what shall i get? Samsung OMNIA or iphone?
wat plan shall i get..the one that includes internet access on the go.

how often do i surf the internet (excluding office hours..work related)?
what do i usually do on the net?
will i be able to fully utilize the plan? the gadget itself.

yes, i dont deny that i am juz like a country pumpkin. who has nvr adopted the city lifestyle.
a working adult who is still partically a child inside..and out.. =)
[alamakz..lari topic agn]

ok as i was saying. suddenly, i nid to find the objective of me gettin a new phone.
i tink i relie do nid to find objective for making any purchases.
coz i realized THAT almost all my purchases are redundant. i buy stuffs to satisy...ermmm..my THAT moment urge.
so u see at times, wen i do go shopping either..i dun buy at all (and muke berkerot2) or i buy like MAD...(ugly stuffs takpe. ugly and mahal stuffs.)

and yes, now the entry is becoming to sound like an angry entry. angry at myself.
chetz! and so..my ambition: smart shopper.
....errr..how.where. do i begin? :S

a feeling

: its us who feels the hurt more when we hurt the ones we love :

Natrah: The Musical

and s0, K'Erni & I went to KL to watch the Natrah Musical.
we made our trip there by coach. Real front seat. Drivers view.
full view. yes, its not that bad afterall.

Natrah the musical: great cast, may I add. enjoyed every moment of the musical. though, i was hoping to see the life of Natrah after the controversy being staged.


but I guess that would have taken more than 3hrs, nevertheless, it was great.
ermm..i tink i lost the drive to rant & rave about the show. the casts. Remy Ishak autograph session (well, nothing to rave abt the session though!). so here's some pics: untuk santapan mata anda... ;P

clap* clap*clap*


smile*smile*smile*
(umie aida & sofea jane)


heh!

motivator of the night, K'Erni
("amik the autograph aje lah"..whoosh..and im in Q already)

humble pie f0r w0rk

Work. Part of my work requires me to liase alot with foreign student participants and professors.
Making sure that they have a good stay here.
Making sure that they are comfortable. Basically, i am like a Guest Relation Officer (who dressed shabily). ekeek!

8months there, and i have met many interesting people.
there are those who simply have the AIRS. (seriously, i dun see why you must put on that stuck up character? just because you are a degree, PhD holder, etc?). with that cert, do you gain respect from people? oh well, not mine.
ok skip..skip..fast fwd.

in this programme, i met someone who is great to work with.
He's the chairman for the programme. from Zurich.
we liase quite often (oh well, as he is part of the organizing team). before he came for his second visit here to the institute, he promised us to bring a ..snowball and chocolates.
and so, as expected..the snowball couldnt survive the weather..lucky the chocolates did. =)

what makes me enjoy liasing with him is his cool-ness. every email, every service (even the smallest tasks ) we provide he will always end it with a thank you and tell us how much he appreciates our work.
sometimes, i do feel as if i dont deserve all those but at the end of the day, i always look forward to be able to assist him in anything.
did i mentioned that emails that he wrote, always sounds informal. and somewhere in between the lines, rest assured, you will be amused. See below:

Dear Nurleen,Many thanks, not just for the Airport Transfer, but more importantly foryour expert handling of my visitto IMS, I had (and still have for three days) a wonderful time here. Iwill be at the Institute for most of the day tomorrow. Later in the afternoon, I have to be downtown visiting an insurance company.And once more, I am very sorry that the snowball melted before I arrivedin Singapore; believe me, I really did my best:

Regards,Paul.

[and my attempt]
It's our pleasure Prof to be able to assist you in whatever we can.
With you coming down with a box of delicious chocolates was good enough(and it survived the humid weather).It was "sold-out" within 3 days. =)We should Thank you!!
Not to worry about the snowball though.FYI, we also have our own Singapore-kind of snowball. And it comes indifferent colors. Available all year round.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ais_kacang
Best Regards,Nurleen

[his email to me wen im on MC & he is leaving S'pore]
Dear Nurleen,I am very sorry to hear that you are not feeling well; we came by to say, not "good bye", but more "till next time". I do hope that it is not the dangerous "allergy for mathematicians" disease,so far as I know, there is no cure for that, and being at IMS is then akin to someone allergic for woolliving in the middle of a flock of sheep.So get well soon, and Merry Christmas.Paul.

================================================
humble. he is. a professor who has organized numerous talks and lectures. doesnt have low regards of people around him. plain humble.
we need more people like this dont we?
seriously, work has never been difficult with humble people.

there's nothing to lose eating a humble pie, more to gain actually.
i can assure you on that.

my make-believe dream (the original soundtrack)

Have you ever had a make-believe dream?
..and it comes with an (not-so) original soundtrack..
here's mine:
[not the dream, but the soundtrack]

Catchy Tune

The Battle

"....But Shaitan (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray."

The everyday battle we faced. comes in every form. in every way
Ya Allah, give us the strength to go thru this
Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin

Just a thought on: Being Compared

Comparing oneself with another.
is that considered good?
whats the healthy "qouta"?
is there any to begin with?

personally, i tink comparison is healthy..when..its being done by your ownself.
main motive, not to pull you down. but to make you realize that a)there's a lot of room for improvement for you. you can do as well as the other b) there must be something that you are not doing right c) there's someone who is obviously will be better than you in one area or another.

comparison should not be used to a) ridicule the other b) being spiteful c) seek for sympathy in the most unpresentable way.

question: to begin with, do we have the right to compare someone else with another? and "broadcast" it?
ohh well, i tink it will again its based on our own nawaitu.

For us who has been compared, no doubt it hurts! terribly! and the facts were literally thrown on your face (what the fish!)
we can always treat it as a constructive comparison.
btw, we have the right to hate the behaviour of the person. and not the person.
if the behaviour still persists on....do it my way. ignore and walk-away.
=)

Natrah: The Musical

Natrah, a musical performance based on true-life story.
Her true-life story summary can be found at http://teratak.forumotion.com/teratak-umum-f19/my-name-is-natrah-not-bertha-t1305.htm.
Im not too certain if the details are true.
But nevertheless I found it interesting.

And to think that actors & actresses with great calibre acting skills will be performing. Who would want to miss it?
(ok yes, i know some would disagree with me.)
Main Performers: Maya Karin (wwow!), Umie Aide (fuyoo!), Sofea Jane (Phee wiit!) lastly, Remy Ishak (aisey ma man!)
and Directed By: Erma Fatimah

Currently the musical will be staged in KL, Istana Budaya from 30 Nov till 09 Dec.
http://www.istanabudaya.gov.my/web/guest/natrah.
I do hope that it will come to Esplanade soon.
Real soon.

BB cream

And so here I am.
Not knowing what to blog about...except for my recent purchase.
Cybercolor BB cream.

Bought at SASA
for $23.90. or was it $29.90..hmm.
with SPF 45. Sun protection factor 45. which means I can stay outdoors 45x longer w/o having to use sun block.
How long is 45x longer?
No idea. I dun even know how long my naked face can tahan the sun rays.
ok done.

anws yep, i love the hassle-free BB cream. the lightness (though it feels as if i applied some concealer. yep, my skin feels that way.)but it took me 10mins to do up face.
on normal weekends, i will take 30mins the earliest.

ok yah, so there. my 5cts worth review on BB cream.
p/s:i need to find something interesting to blog lah. seriously!

self-motivational talk

It will take me long before I get used to it.
And I will have to start learning now.
I will have to get used to his existance. His voice. His kadang-tak-kelakar (*rolling mata*) jokes.
His comments.

And I will have to learn how not to panic.

Ok..now thats my motivational talk for today. And for subsequent days to come.
Whats yours?

Difference

" Would like to invite you for lunch"
" Would like to ask you out for lunch"

Apparently there's a difference in the meaning for both sentences.
Something NEW i learnt today.

Running (yeah..no doubt indeed)

L0ve the words to the s0ng..
we are running on a marathon aint we all..
its not about "how fast we get there" but "how much we support one another thru the marathon"
neverthless who said marathon is about running rite..
for those as lazy as me, can walk all the way to the finishing point ;P

analyze till paralysed

..yikes!! one lesson learnt yesterday.
if im not ready to be analysed (be it in a good or bad way), i will not attempt to feed my (curiosity) hunger.
it paralysed me for (a long, long, long) moment there.

its just like reading your horoscope every weekend on Life!
in some week they will say "you are even-tempered.........and its gonna be a good week"
in some week they will say "..try to spend your money wisely...or you gonna have a dry week"
some explanation: its for the FUN of it. coz literally after reading it, the next thing you noe..I'm off into my own world again..

or having someone read your palm and goes
"you are goin to have alot of children in the future"
some explanation: happened 10 - 11yrs ago. even if i was paralysed for the longest time ever. i am sure i have grown out of it. looking back..wat she said is true.."chek bnyk anak rambut"..anak jugak kan..eheh! =P

ok..maybe the 2 examples i qouted wasnt the best example.
nevertheless, if ever...pretty sure it will happened again..
i got the sudden "hunger" for curiosity and not ready, i go makan la


For "your curiosity sake" im fine already.
i snapped out of the yesterday's analysis.
Alhamdullilah!

L.O.V.E

Demanding someone's l0ve, wont get your way thru.
No matter how hard you demand from them..there's alwaiz a fake-ness, insincere love you receive.
EIther that or the amount of love which you received isn't as much as you hope it might be...

For someone to love you, is for you to love the hell out of that someone.
Its about making an effort...the slight effort would mean alot

Sometimes we dont get the love back after we have made an effort.
But be glad that you have tried and not let it slip away.

tawakal

The concept of tawakal was clearly explained by Rasulullah s.a.w in a story which had happened in his time. Once, there was a young man who came to see Rasulullah. He had left his camel outside the mosque, without tying him up. Rasulullah s.a.w then called him and said this in his hadith:

It means: "You must tie it up, and then tawakal."

Remind Me to Remind You

As we are embarking into yet another journey. the fasting month. and preparing ourselves for the holy month, I realized how we really depend on each other.
Humans, we tend to forget. we tend to neglect some issues. we tend to be complacent.
sometimes we need others to actually remind us of our responsibilities. our obligations.
and these reminders could also come in the form of support. motivation. the right motivation

My point is that, we should always remind one another.
Remind me to Remind you of the good tidings that He has given us.
Remind me to Remind you that we have a responsibility as a good muslim
Remind me to Remind you to always nuture the Love for Him.
Remind me to Remind you that He is always there for us. He is the most merciful.

These reminders doesnt need to be spoken.
Actions speaks louder than words.

so Remind me to Remind you to Remind me ok.

Selamat menyambut bulan Ramadhan.
=)

Read between the lines

sometimes when we say "i'm sleepy" to our potential companion for the day,
it could mean "can we go somewhere nearer? PLEASE!"

Alhamdullilah

I thank Him for all the good times

aint there better options?

A female model was caught consuming alcohol in M'sia.
Charges: 6 lashes of cane

Not that I want to interfere with the judge's decision, but I cant help to wonder isnt it abit too harsh for her?
ok, no doubt what she has committed is a sinful thing. And she deserved to be punished.
But cant she be punished in a more fairer way?
imprisonment, do righteous deeds, send for reformative classes...etc

yes, the rattan cane that they will be using is a thin one.
So??

Anyways who am I to judge whether is it a good "reinforcement" punishment or not.
But my main concern is: A LADY BEING CANED?
Adoiii!!!

for some lame questions, sometimes we should give lame answers too.

i agree!

Gotta get my eyes glued on this movie!
Gotta get my hands on the DVD/VCD/ anything as long as I will be able to watch and enjoy it.

Love the fact that it touches on one of the Japanese culture.
The rituals they perform for the dead

Death

Love
The after-effect to the family and closed ones after their departure

Maybe, we can learn something from this movie.
Maybe, I will.

today..
i planned to go to the library.
Level 7th..sit at one corner.
with my book in hand. pencil and paper by the side
wearing my specs on my nose bridge.
having that blurr look when my eyes read something "new"
indulge myself on the reading materials.

But today..it just wont happen.
cause the Library will be closed.

Spring School Programme

a 2-week programme event which just ended.
it has been fun having the participants around.
it was more livelier at our institute. conversing with them. interacting
though i must say, it was tiring..(having to run errands), it was really our pleasure to meet em.
each and everyone of 'em.

=)
the above pics are just with some of the participants.
some of them mainly came from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipines, Australia, India, etc...
see..i dun nid to travel/ book a flight to meet people from other counterparts.
loving tiz lah...hee! the perks! value-added.

justifying the reason why

the actions that we do.
do we have reasons to justify it.?

reasonable reasons?
or just sound reasonably sensible to us?

and I've my own reason for such entry which is..
..hee!!! sensible enuff.

my chain of thoughts.
=)

another of my weekend thoughts

suddenly i felt like doing something crazy.
not insanely, religiously wrong crazy.
something that i will feel amused, or something tat i will laugh out at wen i tot of it.

now..wat is it?

anws lets talk about this "someone" whom i met.
an indonesian guy. not that very good-looking. but its his shyness that relie captures me.
and he have such kind eyes.
he will be here in S'pore for the next 1wk. for a programme organized by us.
the first time i met him, he was super the shy that he didnt even looked at me (in the eyes) when he talked to me.
im like seeing me in the male version. ehehe!!
but subsequently, we managed to make eye contact..and small talk.

seriously, i do wish to talk to him more.
mingle wit him more.
hmm...bt me myself am afraid to do the approach. bcoz..i've never done it before!!

ehh..wait..maybe that is the crazy thing that i want to do..
hee..maybe..

but for nw, im happy that i've met him.
he is the reason that i am so happy to be at work (in the morning).
=)

..sometimes...

ir0nically...
sometimes...
i dun wana be the first few t0 kn0w...

...i want to be surprised...
terkej0t ber0k the same time as the others.
leaping f0r j0y with them.
exclaiming happily!

keeping the j0y t0 myself is far w0rst than keeping sadness..
ir0nically...

the cute c0nversati0ns

Cute Conversati0n #1
Called up the bus transport driver. To enquire. Upon agreement, I asked him for his bus plate no. and the size of easy identification on the 1st day of taking the transport.
Me: whats the size of your bus? small or big?
HE: medium

Cute Conversation #2
Had a mini accident which resulted in leaving a scar on my left hand.
During the healing process, it started to itch. And I thought that it was infected.
and so....i told my friend about it
ME: (pointing to the scar, while talking to my friend) It started to itch really bad the other day
SHE: Then what happened?
ME: Ermm..i scratched....

I was anticipating her to say "ohh dear..something must be wrong...yadda yadda yadda"

Cute Conversation #3
With one of my new colleague.
ME: Ok, later I ask u on how to go about preparing for the Cover Page ok.
SHE: ohh Ok..what do you want to ask me?

Later means 2 secs interval??

=) reflecting back on the conversations just make me smile.
it may sound silly to others, but for me, seriously..i find 'em so cute.
=)

i think...

..im goin to ignore myself sometimes.
at certain times of the day.

hope it works.
=) insya'Allah.

macam mane nie...

the key points of being a counsellor
-refrain frm counter transference (meaning to say that do not allow yr emotions get in the way - maybe bcoz of yr own experience, or you have a "soft spot" for the matter)
-empathy
-be authentic
- etc, etc, etc

and of all the key points, i cant stop the counter transference, too much (way too) of empathy.
i kinda just finished reading the 1st chapter of "A child called IT".
no..nt a ghost story. bt a child who was abused by the mom when he was young.
and i cant stop "feeling something" abt it.
affecting my current mood, my thoughts.
(not that i have a personal experience like his.)(its just the 1st chapter..gosh!)

so tell me..macam mane nie nak jadi counsellor??
klk nt professionally pon, at least a skill which will benefit myself and my closed loved ones.
the art of detachment...NIL.

bt then..hey..im being authentic. true to myself.
i believe that EVERY kid deserves a good childhood. a loving r'ship with the parents.
that's the value which i firmly stand by.
ok not bad, now i think im "somewhere".
=) i feel much betta rambling away..hee! i deal with my short comings later on!

THANK YOU

THANK YOU.THANK YOU.THANK YOU
I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO THANK YOU ENUFF
WORDS WONT BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE THE WAY I FEEL.
THE GRATITUTE. THE LOVE. SYUKRAN LAKA.

=) HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE AN EVERLASTING FEELING. HELP ME THRU IT..DGN KEIZINAN-MU.

the thoughts just flow as it is

as i am typing out this entry, the lappie is making "kroaking" sound.
no idea wats wrong..bt somehw it has this momentum. like 5-8secs it will kroak-away.

anws...todays' entry is abt "Saying the Wrong thing at the Wrong Time"
so tell me is there such thing as "saying the rite thing at the rite time"?
define that.
hw can u be sure what u're saying to the recipient is the right thing? he/she doesnt feel hurt by what is being conveyed?

maybe we are so afraid of being in the situation whereby we hurted the other party, that at times we will just keep quiet.
or even so we are so afraid of being judged of what is being said.

simply said...its a risk.
whatever u say may hurt the person intentionally or unintentionally.
the root of it...i alwaiz believe is your nawaitu .
for everything you do/ say have its intention.
HE is the one who will be judging us at the end of the day.
He is the one, who we will have to impress in the 1st place.
it is HE who noes wat goes inside our mind and our heart.
Even us, the borrowers' of the heart, may not truly understand what we relie feels/wants.
"...bukan mata yang buta. Tapi mata hati yang buta..."
=) deny as much as we want..bt the truth is we are simply too weak.
and when we are strong (in watever terms/ forms), we are still nothing as in comparison as His greatness.

Alhamdullilah, im very much grateful to Him.
For everything.
For the failing incidents, that made me realized that i've forgotten about Him when I was in happier days.
For the happier days, which made me grateful towards Him and strive to constantly remind myself.
Insya'Allah, i will try to be a more considerate muslimah. Amin! and someone who rmbs Him often.

With his guidance, May each and everyone of us be errmm..GREAT MUSLIM.
Minta pertunjuk padaNya =)

just my wkend thoughts

risks.
investments has its risks.
not knowing whether it will reap in profits, or otherwise.

even smiling and saying "Hello" to a stranger is a risk
a risk of being ignored by the receipient.

risks are everywhere in our everyday lives.
its a norm!

..in th0se moods...

was once-in l0ve with this song.
and once again..im falling deeply in love with it again.
aaawwww......

Ther are 99 islands surrounding Langkawi..owned by 'em.
-an island which looked like a shoe.
-Lake of the Pregnant Maiden.
-Pulau Singa
-Pulau Kilim
-Pulau Beras Basah

and not forgetting the penguins....which i saw at Underwater World.

ouhh and the people there are friendly.
extremely friendly.

anws we stayed at Berjaya Langkawi Beach and Spa Resort.
From Deluxe chalet we moved to Premier chalet.
For those who are abit particular abt toilet, bed and etc...Premier chalet is more advisable ok.

Langkawi again?? ohh well...sure..bt nt anytime sooner ok.
=)

on being thankful

am thnkful of the supportive family that i was borned to
am thnkful of the good friends i've made in sec sch. and those who i literally grew up with, thru thick & thin
am thnkful of the people who have been patient, with me..allowing me to grow-up at my own pace.
and to those who have became more than friends to me.

and im thnkful for the people whose paths crossed with mine...in a different way.
im looking at it at a different perspective. a totally different angle.
=)

thank you. thank you. you. you. and you.
loves!

being a role model

so much for me wanting to be a role model..heee!!

today, on my way home..i decided to use traffic light at the mini junction. ok..upon seeing the 2 lil pri sch kids standing dere..waiting to crozz lah. = )

somehw or rather, my initial tot was "weii! coast clear. no cars. just cross lah"
den the good-side-of-me went "role model. begins here" - sounds like "courtesy begins with me"
and so..i waited..for the good ol'mr.green man.
a min pass..no green man, no cars..
the 2nd min..still no green man, the opposite traffic lites (the one for vehicles) shows no sign of turning amber. and still no sign of cars...
and the word "role model..role model" keeps my patience level at bay.
.....then the 2 kids actually crossed the road la...w/o waiting for the green man to appear. and w/o me, who tried to be a good role model, by waiting aimlessly.

wasted eff0rt? i say..its m0re of a funny incident.
amusing one. cekik-darah betol!

a sudden tot

sent my close chinese frenz "Happy Lunar New Year" sms
and one of the replies i rcvd was:
"..i didnt expect to rcvd sms from u..."

and suddenly it juz dawns on me.
during Hari Raya, i didnt even initiate texting any of my close malay frens.
hhhmmmm...maybe this yr then..ehehhe!

anyws enjoy the long wkend/hols!
=)

made in 80s / 90s

• Gersang

The vocalist vocals..fyyuhh. his good pan-asian-good-looks too helps in boosting the grp's popularity among the malay community.
out of the many2 songs, Kau Ilhamku happens to be one of my personal fav.

• Slam

arghh!! an0ther gerek grp. Zamani...hee! same as the above, i simply love his vocals. and of coz, i do find him quite cute.
my fav. song wld be, Nur Kasih. i once pretended that the song written for me..ehehe...since ther's a Nur in my name too. tumpang aje la kan

• Feminin

popular malay gal group. there were them b4 Elite. managed by KRU. they were the trend setters. their hairs, clothing. ouhh..yesh, back then was I glad that mom always dragged me to the salon to hav my hair cut short like 'em.

• Pak Pandir

ok, im nt too sure when/ how/ who have written the book abt Pak Pandir. however the story was re-told by me when I was in Pri 2. there was a mini competition in class. everyone was expected to "memorize" a story and "present" it in class.
and yeay.. that was my first ever competition. and i've won it.
the winning prize: A file! a cardboard file which all students rcvd. i juz won another extra one though.
(ok, i was the happiest gal wen i rcvd it back then ok.)

• Mr Kiasu

Popular cartoon character. one of the reasons, i believed, which contributes to the popularity of this comic strip is bcoz we S'poreans somehw could relate to either to his character or his "people surrounding him" characters. There's Kiasee, Ai Swee, Bo Chup, etc
ouhh...and the many2 birds shits which Mr Kiasu will find on his car wen he parked it at the open carpark...i can definitely relate it to my dad's personal encounter with them...hooohoo!

• Sayang Mona

Popular Malay series. i rmb watching it..BUT i dont really recall whats the actual story is about.

• ME

yes, yes..I am happy to say that i was made in the 80s.
(hopes to be) NICE(r), SHORT and (pretends to be) SWEET.
the best gift ever for my parents...ahahha!

• Tika Dan Saat Ini

i happened to be humming to thiz s0ng on the bus ydae.
and ther it leads to this entry actuali.
popular song in the 80's..i guess!
Enjoy it Folks! =)
hmm..just wondering, was slow sentimental rock the IN-thing back then?
i know misai kontot was..hee!

pre-meet up effect

"Hi (her name), im a fan of yours. May I take a pic with you?"
"(screams her name)!!! i l0ve y0ur sh0w. every wkday i never fail to hear it"
"Hi (smile like a kambing.)" and pretend not to be interested in her.

ok this is absurb. im actually experiencing the-butterflies-in-my-stomach effect. i have no idea what to say. how to react when i meet her.
how..how..how..
gosh! chances of me miting her is 50%. and chances of me screwing up our 1st meet is also 50%. ouhh dear!

i noe some will react "she's a gal. why the tension? why the fuss?"
simply phrased answer "she's my fav. "artiste" and "entah-lah"
ahh..tension beb!
who is she? jjengg..jjengg..insya'Allah will post of a pic of her (hopefulie with me in it)..for now..biarlah rahsia!
no ekz..not Siti Nurhaliza.

*am thankful of all the good things that has happened*
*and boy, am I glad to be back @ MOE* yupz f0r the plan reas0n 0f miting her. =) Syukran Laka!

Nem0s (with a pinch of scientific facts)

Amazing. HIS creati0ns.
simply astounding.

Many of you may have already knew the fact.
Nevertherless...DO YOU KNOW that..
Clownfishes have the ability to change their own gender.
Aparrently if the Queen of the "herds" dies, the King will take over the Queen's place.
He will magically changed to become a female. and the so-called eldest son will take over it's dad's place (King). He will also undergo some transformation in terms of size, i guess.

The animal kingdom. the survival. their ability within themselves to adapt to circumstances.

OHH NEMO!

Lagu kita

"..dan aku terus menyanyikan lagu ini untuk mu

walau berjuta mendengar

lagu ini hanya untukmu"

"..ku petik gitar, akustik ini

dgn harapan dia mendengar

Melodi indah yang ku cipta

Hanya untuk luahkan rinduku padanya.."

the melody, the lyrics...awwwWWwww!

music is an internati0nal language.

just listen t0 melody

Lagu Kita - Aizat

music to the ears

everyday, break of dawn..s0me0ne's r00ster will start its duty.

everynite, at 0300hrs..a man (i assumed) will be pushing his cart along the tarred carpark.

every wkday, 0700hrs, sounds of the door locked being open. the mom opening the gate for my dad and sister.

every sun between 2100hrs to 2200hrs, my neighbour's children will be running past my corridor, screaming..giggling away. after their family outing.

a different kind 0f music that i enj0y!

ir0nically

ir0nically i missed those p0ly days.
when the wkends were spent just chilling out. till wee hrs.
and the previous wkend..we did just that.
Nasrin was the chosen venue. met new frens. met old ones.
[ok i wrote as th0ugh its a big group..bt there were 0nly 5 0f us]
the kutoks2. the listerine-like drink.
we did our wee-morning walk. and den *beep*beep*

Tok Mat: Why nt h0me yet??
Me: On the way. sorrie2!

and ironically, something has changed.
i was grinning away instead when i rcvd that text.

is it worth it

Innocence lives. Men, Women and Children being "scarificed". is it All worth it? and at the end of it, th0se who survived will be left stranded to pick up the pieces. what about the traumatized children? the women who are left children-less, husband-less?? All the "scarifice" just for a piece of land?

how abt coming to an amicable agreement? as adults. as thinking adults.
