The Oxtail Soup

I said, this could be a perfect day for me. Sleep in.. Movie marathon.. Cool, rainy day... Pastu pekena sup ekor panas.. Beshnyeer!!!

And a guy laughed like I just made a perverted joke.

We went to Jalan Doraisamy as Ayu and I wanted to accomplish the perfect-day mission.
Sup ekor panas dalam periuk besar kat warung sorong blakang lorong, dipped with slices of bread, traditionally baked in a charcoal oven. I call it Soup the Hard Rock Sg Segget style.
I ordered the ox tail soup and seek approval from Babathe who introduced me to the joint.
The Indian hawker gave me a strange look. So as the elderly Malay couple who sat next to me... apparently because I said "Ok tak babat, ok tak ni, ok tak?" enthusiastically when I ordered the soup.

Then the guy gave dat stupid laugh again...

I was seeking for the opinion on the taste of the soup, not how the aphrodisiac substance can do to my estrogen level la, you all freaking perverts!

It was the picture perfect, the whole scenario... and the soup.
And people's perception of it.

Dream a lill dream of you makes my heart bloom :)

I had a dream.
Such a sweet dream in such a long time.
It was surreal... but nice :)

I didn't want to wake up. I didn't want it to end.
I got really cranky in the morning, and I thought today is probably gonna be a dreadful day.

But here I am... feeling great instead.
I'd rather have it in my dream than not having it at all :)

Have a nice day, ppl!

Travel Asia: Bangkok

Back from Bangkok with my 3 fabulous mates - Jie, Ayu and Lyn.

It was a four days trip of unforgettable memories.

We went to Grand Palace, then took a crazy 7 baht busride to Khao San Road. We fell in love with the place immediately that we decided to stay there for the next two nights.

Sawadee ka...

I think this bus is older than bas no5A i rode in JB 15 years ago

Shopping marathon began soon as the sun set in. We made way to Khao San night market, went back to our hotel in Silom, get freshened up and head straight to Patpong with a tuk tuk already waiting. It was a crazy night for us, almost unbearable, but unforgettable. Enough said.

2nd day is a Chatuchak marathon day - the biggest sport event. 9am - 5pm: hazardous for people with a weak heart and small pocket.
But we did not manage to reach the finishing line. 15,000 gerai... gile ape! Plus it was bloody hot and packed in the afternoon.

Then The Calypso Ladyboys Show at night. Then a little shopping at Hard Rock Cafe, Bangkok.

Stupid taxi driver - caused us 400 baht and 15 minutes walk (or maybe more) to Shawn hotel...

The Thai version Marilyn Monroe

He's damn funny!

3rd day was a Kanchanaburi trekking day.The pickup was at 7am and we were taken with minibus to Kanchanaburi - started with an allied cemetry about 2 hours from Bangkok. Then to the war museum and the famous bridge over the River Kwai. Then we travelled by train along the death railway. We had a Thai lunch on a floating bamboo raft overlooking a river (forgot the name!). After lunch, we headed to the local elephant camp where we rode elephants and enjoy some traditional bamboo rafting before taken to a local waterfall and then returning to Bangkok by 6.30pm.
One word to describe: Breathtaking.

Waiting for the ride to the dead

His name is Sandi, and she is Enoi

Final day is the empty-your-pocket activity.

Great great fun!!

For more pics, please ask the url from me, ok gals...
Men, please... don't even bother to ask.

Oh by the way, I bought this book while I was there. It was a real deal, I tell u! Ohhh, I so lurveee buying books while on vacation.

Khao San Road is a heaven for a backpacker, and also a bookworm like me (nehhh!!). The Thais there sell used stuff by the roadside. Numerous of good books, travel guides (lonely planet), backpacks, clothes, independent records and loads of other interesting stuff.
The fruit shake is also so so yummyyy!!

I also bought The Summon by John Grisham. At first I thought of buying all novels by John Grisham that were on the rack since I already have a few on my shelf, tapi apakan daya... poket saya sudah bocor :( padahal dah bargain2 macam nak mampos... I got 4 books for 500 baht tetapi kechiwanya daku.. bila check2, hanya ada 300 baht je dalam pocketku. And 100baht was to be saved for the airport taxi fare.
Sungguh sedihhh...

Happiness

I have a friend who never seem to be happy with his life, or at least that is how i perceive him. Despite of all that he has, he rarely put a smile on his face. I couldn't even remember when was the last time he was sincerely happy. He told me that he does not lead a happy life, that he is so full of burden n problems that he can't enjoy life no more.

I asked him the other day, "When was the last time you were really happy?"
He just sat there... silently.
Only later he slowly said, "This is how i am, and this is how i will be sampai bila-bila."
I don't want to offer any pity, or sympathy coz he chose to be like that.
And God's will, that's how he will be.

So hear this my friend...
We convinced ourselves life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.

Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough, and all will be well when they are older.

Then we get frustrated because our children has reach adolosence and we have to deal with them. Surely we will be happier when they grow out of their teen years.

We tell ourselves that our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we retire.

The turth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now.
If not, then when?
Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and decide to be happy despite of it all.

So enjoy every moment.
Stop waiting for a cute guy/girl to steal your heart, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, for your birthday, to get married, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played, to die, to be reborn.... before deciding to be happy.

For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start. Real life.
But there was always some obstacle along the way, an ordeal to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start.
I finally came to understand that those obstacles were life.

That point of view helped me see that there isn't any road to happiness.
Happiness IS the road.

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination.
There is no better time to be happy, than NOW!!
Live and enjoy the moment...

My dear friend,
It doesn't take much to be happy, at least a little bit of things everyday
Being happy is so easy if u know how to
Forget about getting bigger things, bigger dreams
Just be happy with all little things in life everyday
For all you know, things will turn out ok, insyaAllah

Be the first one to give a smile
Make someone's day brighter with a simple compliment... everyday
Be thankful and grateful of what u have... ur hse, ur car, ur goodlooking face
every single day...
ur daily chores... finish up small things before u even dream of big things

Sometimes we are left wit no option
sometimes we just have to take what's in front of us
You are better off than some people
Don't dream of the sky
when you can't even see the steps of your feet
I'm sorry i said that... but for once... i want to see you be actually happy
For once.

Started with love, ended with hate...

I was once told - no matter how much you love this man,
no matter how much he may love you, but if ever he lifts a hand and hits you...
he's not worth it....
I do not think this is easy...
but I guess it is true...

I got flowers today.
It wasn't my birthday or any other special day.
We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel
things that really hurt me.
I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said, because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today.
It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day.
Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me.
It seemed like a nightmare. I couldn't believe it was real.
I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.
I know he must be sorry.
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today,
and it wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day.
Last night, he beat me up again.
And it was much worse than all theother times.
If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids?
Wha tabout money?
I'm afraid of him and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry.
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today.
Today was a very special day.
It was the day of my funeral.
Last night, he finally killed me.
He beat me to death.
If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him, I would not have gotten flowers today.

If it starts with a heat argument and bad remarks, then you know how it would probably end.

Highlight for the day

3 berita penting hari ini that caught my attention, right down to the nerves...

Harga barang runcit mula naik
When Government announced increase of 10-40% pay raise for civil servants, peniaga announce barang naik harga... One million government servants naik gaji, lagi 25 millions of Malaysian population kena tempias ke?
Give some respect la people, they don't get pay raise every year... Can we not take advantage of other people's suffering not? Orang baru nak bernafas, lu dah kasik kentut kat muka...

But then again... CEUPACS' justification for the pay raise, among other, was that their productivity and performance have improved. Come to think of it, 1 civil servant for every 26 citizens? Seriously?! I'm sorry, again, what has improved...?

CSR: TM sedia RM75j atasi syarikat lain
Government has increased salary 10% - 40% for the civil servants, TM increased their social responsibilities to more than 3%, as compared to the standard 1% by other companies.
TM has also approved salary adjustment for the non-executives salary to 5.5% increment. Read here.
Society has got better attention from TM, non-execs got theirs also. Executives? I say, if you are not under NUTE (Telecom Sector Unions), you might as well stay MUTE!

Pengacara TV3 dituduh ambil pil khayal
Isn't it ironic, for an anti-crime celeb who appears on TV every week fighting against crimes, gedebak-gedebuk lebih2 dari polis, was caught doing the very thing he was fighting against?
What goes around comes around, huh?

Wait a minute, this Umaisyah Abd Rahim gal... Wasn't she the one who testify against Mamat Exist for a rape charge some 10 years ago?

Hancur

Kukatakan dengan indah
Dengan terbuka
Hatiku hampa
Sepertinya luka
Menghampirinya

Kau beri rasa
Yang berbeda
Mungkin kusalah
Mengartikannya
Yang kurasa cinta

Tetapi hatiku
Selalu meninggikanmu
Terlalu meninggikanmu
Selalu meninggikanmu

Kau hancurkan hatiku
Hancurkan lagi
Kau hancurkan hatiku
Tuk melihatmu

Kau terangi jiwaku
Kau redupkan lagi
Kau hancurkan hatiku
Tuk melihatmu

Membuatku terjatuh
Dan terjatuh lagi
Membuatku merasakan
Yang tlah terjadi
Semua yang terbaik
Dan terlewati
Semua yang terhenti
Tanpa kuakhiri

Who am I in your life?

Life is the process of finding love,
every person will need to find four people in their life.
First person is yourself,
second person is the one you love most,
third person is the one who love you most,
and the fourth, is the one you spend the rest of your life with.

In life, firstly you will meet the one you love most,
and learn how love feels;
Because you know how love feels, so you can find the person who love you most;
When you have experienced the feeling of loving others and being loved, you will then know what it is you need most,
Then you will find the person who is suitable for you, to be able to spend the rest of your life with.

Sadly, in real life,
these three people are usually not the same person.
The one you love most, doesn't love you;
The one who love you most, is never the one you love most;
And the one you spend your life with, is never the one you love most or the one who love you most,
he is just the person who happens to be at the right place at the right time.

So, which person are you in other people's life?
Which person have you found so far?
In the world so big, which person have you found?
And who has found you?

No person will purposely have a change of heart.
At the point in time when he loves you, he really loves you;
But when he doesn't love you anymore, he really don't love you anymore;
When he loves you, he can't pretend that he doesn't;
Same goes, when he loves you no more, there's no way he can pretend he loves you.
Love is not a possession.
If you still love him, you should wish him happiness,
and hope that he will be with the one he loves most, not stop him from it.
If you stop him from finding true happiness with the one he loves, it shows you already don't love him,
And if you don't love him, what rights do you have to blame him for a change of heart?

...bcoz i need to be doped again*

Senses

If you notice, I just added some spices on my blog...
The look of this blog has never changed since the first time. I was not really into commercializing this rubbish site of mine but since there is a new excitement or shall i say demam among my colleagues on the AdSense thingy ( i will write about my colleagues seasonal demams... those guys just never fail me... lurvvee them all *wink*), i played along with them and added it in.

So u guysss, plis pliss plisss click on those buttons down there (i mean on my blog... not in those pants, u pervert!!) and help me add some coins in my pocket. Most of all, help me win this game... coz i definitely can't beat them on table tennis :(

Now go go go click away guysss....
Nanti kite blanjer cendol keh! (",)

Broken wings...

I can't explain this feeling
I think about it everyday
And even though we've moved on
It gets so hard to walk away

I've been haunted by the past.
Past that I thought didn't matter much to me... but it does.
I've been having sleepless nights, I broke down...
It had me days and nights, and played with my dreams...
It got me real bad - I went blank and almost fainted yesterday.

I can't explain what went inside my head.
I was told to move on, but a part of me still hold back.
I was told to let it out, and let go...
But the memories still keep coming back to me.

I wish things are as simple as it may seem.
But it's not...
I could just let it all go... I just can't.
I don't even know if I ever will...

stupid, indeed!

Despite of a great combination of pretty faces and remarkable backgrounds, some people can be so sengal and lembab... or shall i say LEMAU?!!
How did they get their certificates, anyway??

I suggest that tuition centers should be abolished, and acceptance to higher educational institutions should be merited based on pure brain, without supplements of private lessons!
Coz bile dah accepted and rasa macam sangat bijak pandai, suddenly brain diorang jadik cripple and soon after graduation, their brain utilization count revert to zero.

Damn, it gets me frustrated...
Seriously la... Where were you when God was dishing out brains?

Do You Have a Honda Tetris?

HAZARD WARNING!

For the eyes of jAZZ/FiT lovers only :P

How bout that?

Perhaps, some information to help you with the pictures:

1. BMW started it with this advertisement

2. AUDI answered.

3. SUBARU needed to say something

4. BENTLEY Chairman wanted the last word!

I'm sorry

"I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
And it's so out of line to try to turn back time"

Addiction

Sometimes kan, in order for me to truly appreciate something, i need to feel the loss of it.
so that i can feel the pain of losing it
so that i can understand how much it means to me.
Now i'm addicted to pain.
I need it to feel alive.

OK, dat's it.

I QUIT!!

I've been suffering from a severe back pain for more than a week. At first i thought it was just muscle cramp as i did not warm up before my futsal game last Tuesday. The very next day stomach ache kicking in. "Maybe I'm having period cramp," i thought. Day after day, it turned from bad to worse. The sharp, stabbing pain didn't permit me to do even a slight movement.. I found it really painful to walk, sit, or even talk. Friday, i was down with fever. It couldn't be period pain coz i've never experienced any serious monthly cramp before, at least not this bad. Only on Monday when he asked me, "U ada jatuh ke?" Only then i realized that that i once, fell on my butt while playing futsal last Tuesday.

So i went to a clinic last Tuesday.
What did the doctor say?
Could it be just a mere period pain?
Could it be a severe back pain?
Or a slipped disk?

I was asked to take a urine test.
And waddaya know?
I have kidney infection

:( Saya sangat sedey...

Therefore, my new health resolution :

1. Kurangkan minum teh tarik dan sekaligus mengurangkan revenue mamak
2. Minum air putih banyak banyak banyak
3. Tanak tahan-tahan kencing lagi

Hukkkssss....
