Ignorance is bliss

What do you do when you are faced with a sight that make your forehead crinkled? I turned away. I remembered seeing a beggar with a child, the woman is soothing the child from crying. One part of you ... you wish to help, to give some money to help so the child could eat. One part of you ... feel angry as why would this woman be here, is there some kind of explanation, if there is some evil organization that deemed its necessary to get money from charitable people by exploiting a woman and her children and why would people do such a thing. One part of you... you look away, it maybe that you feel helpless, maybe that you feel pointless, or maybe you wish you didn't see it at all. But you don't dig deeper for the feeling. As for sure, after 10 minutes you are walking, the drive home, the things you need to buy... all about your wonderful self-need / self-want would drive away these feeling of guilt or helplessness. As what I did when I see a headline on yet another news of global...

An introduction...

Chapter 1, Part 1... "Tap" " Tap..." She looked out of the windows and felt her heart dropped a little. It had been increasingly dropping these past few days. "Persistent ugly bastards.." she swore quietly and looked on. This time ignoring the creatures, she looked around the outskirt of the house. Scanning the area, she quickly calculated her way out. Too easy, too dangerous, not good, no escape route, easy to be overpowered... She dismissed it one by one until she found just the right one. "Such a bad idea.." talking to herself. It’s a habit that is hard to break, but she found a comfort in hearing the voice of a human being. Even if it’s her own. Letting out a sigh, she closed her eyes for the moment. Eyes screwed shut and with fist clenched, she stood still as if contemplating her next move. Few seconds trickled by. A distant resounding crash was heard and her eyes flew wide open. She looked out the window again and saw that the neighbour car...

Testing 1.. 2.. 3??

I am testing out this Windows Live Writer. It felt weird. Like writing on a Wordpad. Hey! At least its a step above Notepad. Don't mock that application. It served a nifty all-purposes note taking abilities. And it don't take up a lot of space. Anyway, my brother should be getting his ass back to KL on an ungodly hour of 2 a.m. Being the lazy sister everyone expected of me, he would come straight to the front door around that time. If  he is lucky enough, I will wake up to let him in. Hahaha. Pointless. I am contemplating changing my blog template. Never really fancy this one, but I really liked that lotus flower which is why I kept it for so long. So maybe a new change heading your way. Or maybe not. Couldn't find a nice enough 3 column, so prolly sticking with the 2 column for a while. Getting pretty bored that everyone who is anyone is going on a holiday or just got back from one. EXCEPT MOI. I am sadly counting my leave and decided that I can spare none. All n...

Wanton Blogging

I am angry tonight. For reason somewhat known but I will dismissed it later on and not voice to anyone. But I will only voice it now. It doesn't matter. Just angry. Just finished watching Get Smart. Funny LOL. Didn't expect that it is going to be really funny since I kinda hate Steve Carrell. But he's OK. Doesn't it annoyed you that here you are looking for a nice comfy shoes. You search like 2 or 3 months and after much search and dragging your driver along from one shop to the other, you finally found one that is close enough to the one you want. You bought it. Few weeks later, shoes like the one you want is popping up everywhere .. in colours you love and price that cheap. Either I am really fashion forward or it just plain sucks. I am now in a search for a nice looking, not too high nor low pair of black heels. Of course I can't find it anywhere except for the one pricing above RM60. This means several weeks of searching. I bet that after I bought it, I will fin...

Am I THAT bored?

Note: My comments are highlighted in blue What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means Your eating style is gluttonous. If you like something, you're going back for seconds... no matter how full you are! You don't really have a sweet tooth. If you go for dessert, you tend to go for something light. Your taste in food tends to be pretty flexible. You may crave sushi one night, and your favorite childhood recipe the next. You are probably a fairly normal, upper middle class person. You don't rock the boat too often. You are a tough person who isn't afraid to live life fully. There isn't a lot that scares you. You are laid back and extremely easygoing. You never make a fuss, and you try to enjoy every moment. Not sure about the other above 2 statements What Does Your Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Say About You? ************************************************************************************* You Are Fairly Normal You scored 55% normal on this quiz Like most...

D is for Devastating

Early yesterday morning, I received the news that Death Cab most probably will not be playing at Malaysia. But at Singapore! Gah! This cause my love for Death Cab to diminish a bit as they seems to prefer the land where no chewing gums are allowed. Due to my tight budget, it seems really unlikely that I can forked out enough for a trip at Singapore to watch them play. And of course, the cuti that need to be apply where as I don't have enough cuti for this year to go around. I mean... if its Radiohead... wedding or no wedding budget, I would go. Haha. Need I say more Radiohead fans? But unfortch, money-wise and time-wise, bad timing indeed to make any trip to Singapore. Ugh. This sucks big time. I think I am coming down with a cold, which might account to my snappiness to everybody around and my really hazy muddled thoughts. So bear with me as I still wish to type more. But my mind turned up blank except the thoughts of that big Green. Nah. The incredbile Hulk meh. How I love Edward...

The wedding bells tolls

Eh. Not yet for me. Anyway. I am still feeling particularly sluggish on this really gloomy looking Monday ( I meant it literally). The past weeks was where everyone was busy attending weddings. I missed out on an ex-colleague one to attend my good friend / 2 pupu wedding at JB. She looked the loveliest as I had ever seen of her but she is the same ol girl who joked and laughed without restraint which causes for some severe admonishments from the usual uptight relatives. (Eeekk relatives... don't read my blog). Gamba(s) dicilok from Mariam's batch of photographs. I looked decidedly fat. But who cares about fat ol me! The bride looks radiant! And looked ... 10 years down the line... Sarah's now with a jolly daughter, Yam's child on the way, Nai supervising the running of a petrol station, Farah soon to settle down. The past weekend was Fain's wedding. It was a lovely affair from the nikah ceremony to the grand reception at Dewan Perdana Felda. I was reasonably stuffed...

Change lifestyle = Hunger pangs every 1pm

I am still translating document. I had done with the German language.. translating German to English. Dunno how it would turn out. I haven't get a feedback on it yet. Haha. Maybe it will turn out like that completely insane subtitles we usually have when buying pirated DVDs. Currently am translating French. French is harder. After a while.. you get a hang on on how all those phrasing and whats not in when I am doing it in German. But French even a and au which means the same thing is different. Gah! I currently am being a good Samaritan while holding on to a lost phone. Did I consider to take it? Nah. Its an old model of a Nokia phone ... unless if its a N95 or N80 then I will be sorely tempted. And I don't have anyone that I feel the need to call. I am not feeling particularly goodish. But then I know that I will have the niggling feeling of guilt that will go on through the day and will spoil my mood in finishing up my work. And if you need to go to the toilet, leave your ...

Training. Karaoke. Eating. In no particular order nor sense.

What? Oil price hike? Heck... you are coming to the wrong blog dudes/dudettes if you think I am gonna complain about it here. In the middle of training currently. And am typing this via notepad which I will copy to blogger later in the day. Mind awandering to thoughts that should not be thought of in the first place. Heh. Oh my, but still... an enjoyable way to past the time. Then the mind suddenly came upon this dress that I should have totally buy at the Curve. Damn it. Le sigh. Maybe I will go on the next weekend. But I kinda doubt it that it will still be there. Shit. I am so not paying attention to this training, eh. Ok. The below is now type after training session end. Oh yes, an announcement to be made. For the very first time in my adult life, I sang in public. Dils do karaoke. Gah! Kinda anti-climactic as far as announcement goes. But whatever. Back to the karaoke, I have to admit it is kinda fun. Felt like was in some Jdorama as some of the guys are as cute as the one in Jdo...

Death Cab for Cutie in Malaysia?

Picture taken from their wsite . Heee. Oh... let it comes true. Yups yups. I told you I still haven't decided if I like Narrow Stairs. But some of the songs are delicious. Am already brokenhearted that I can't go to Japan for Radiohead. Hahaha. Kid kid. More like why doesa lot of bands when they do a world tour, the Asian tour only include Japan meh? Got other countries what! Singapore! Thailand! And of course our very own Malaysia. Huh. Anyway. My fingers are crossed. And from what I can see in the blogosphere, us locals here are getting excited. Woot! Though I haven't seen anything in their tour page. I did a once over around last week and the last time I seen is the Japan tour. Now they had included Australia tour. Would be awesome if I would look at the page next week and see Malaysia. Source

mmMMMmmmm

Oh. Madness Its like the air is closing down all around. Butterflies should be killed upon meeting. The door will be forever lost. No one would ever find it again? Fairytale ... is for the foolish. And I smiled. I wondered if any of you would understand.
