Bloggity blog

Sometimes I wonder if I privatize my blog, I will have more to blog about? 

Or maybe I should just accept the fact that I am like many other was just following a fad? 

But I used to love blogging. I used to think what I want to write and store all this little nuggets of observation, insight, conversation to be put in here. Nowadays, I am just contented, to read, read and read. Read books, read tweets, read blogs, read gossip sites. 

When I open my blog nowadays I can only do book reviews. Maybe I should change this blog name to - Dils Reads Books and Spout it Here? Or start a new blog and jot things in here occasionally. But when I want to abandon the blog, I will find myself itching to blog. 

So blog blog blog. Maybe I'll set it to private. I think whenever I decided to close down the blog, it will be set to private. And perhaps then I'll write in abandon, without thoughts, grammar nazi and secret people stalking through here secretly. The thoughts seems to be liberating. 

In the mean time, I think, you'll only get book reviews. Maybe I do need to change the title? 

Btw, Selamat berpuasa to y'all. Been to param ( Haha! I am calling it PARAM to irk you) only once this week, and spend way too much and the thing sold in PARAM (*snort*) nowadays, is way expensive and you'll always regretted it after you had finished one plate of nasi during the buka puasa. I think I will only go there to buy my stock of susu segar. Do you know it? 

I took this pic from here.

It is the best milk ever. I especially like the corn flavoured and the strawberry one. Not too fond of the chocolate one, but that is one of the few chocolate milk I can down ( I hate chocolate milk, it always disappoint my expectations) . When I was small, I think it was sold 90 sen. And then RM1. Now it is RM1.70. Sigh. Mahal ok. Dah la kecik. 3 kali teguk dah habis. But if I saw this being sold, I can never resist buying a few. Few. Not one. 

Hey. Lookie there. I blog.

Kemalasan berblogging

Its been a while since I blog. Like really blog. Not like some crappy updates. But heck, all I ever do from the beginning is to give crappy updates. And you know what usually hindered me to blog, the thought of finding, editing and uploading pics. When I thought of blogging and updating pictures to it, I always goes like "Malasnyeeeerrrr"  and procrastinate.

I don't know about other people, but even the thought of finding relevant pics on the net kinda put me off blogging. All I want to do is type out random nonsense dammit.

 Then before this I always blog on a work hour. Before that work is unfulfilled and all that boring stuffs. Not that nowadays work is becoming awesome in every way, but I guess I am growing up and I think its more important for me to do the work first. Blogging rase tak senang when you got some codes still not sort out (padahal I got 2 services need sorting out ni tengah blogging ni ape cerita ni). 

Maybe I have time to blog more at home. Well, more later I guess.

Ready, Set, Blog!

*crickets*

*crickets*

Well, I tried. Monday.

Putting in word verification

Because the spam is getting a bit ridiculous. Before this it was once a week, which I can deal. Now it is around 2 or 3 times a day. 

And honestly? Does any of the spams really work ? Especially now? It boggles the mind. 

Very, very busy this week. No mood to blog. But still feeling like adding a couple of words in. 

I read recently about some bloggers calling Nuffnang racist. Personally I don't think so ( the winners are deserving of their prize because the quality and thoughts put into it clearly shows) , though I do think that Nuffnang is a bit bias in term of the people they keep on handing exclusive invites to. But hey, I don't care. See Nuffnang in my blog? No. I tried it once and just felt like I can't blog. Sekarang pon rase cannot blog jugak, tak boleh blame Nuffnang jugak kan? Heh. 

It is a personal choice what kinda things you want to do with your blog and if you want to generate money from it. Sure thing. But if the purpose of you blogging is to get money, then I guess you can get pretty bitter from your writing. Hence the accusation to Nuffnang. Do I think Nuffnang bias? Yes. Do I think they are being unfair? No. Its the nature of business. Do the bloggers who want their blog to be about money and prizes are thinking that instead of its a privilege, it is their rights? Then they are the idiots because they are not thinking business-wise too. 

So blog and be free. *mode ala-ala hippie sambil melepaskan dove ke angkasa*

Felt like screaming

Instead I can't. 

Currently I have a task needs doing, some configuring some thingies in the SAP thingies (believe me, I have no ideas what some of it called either) and the other part coding a.k.a code some workaround the so the things would work on a unfinished product. Andddd... when I had done my workaround, I need to undo it once the product has finished and redo the config and probably update the codes. ANDDDD I have to wait for the people over there (also known as EU people) to finish up their things or fix this demented thing so I can continue the workaround, and I am blooody stuck with nothing to go on because nothing is fix and nothing is being done and its crap. And I am crap. 

Gah! It make me wants to pull my hair off. 

So ranting over. Maybe dengan ranting, I am hoping some divine inspiration would come careening from the sky and plop in my head and EUREKA! A solution is born! Jeebus, it make you feel like going back to the 1700s Austen era, and all the gentile women have to do to while their time away is by reading out aloud or some cross stitching. (No... sewing clothes is not considered gentile). But of course if you are lucky enough to be gentile, if I have my luck and lived in that era, I am probably the chambermaid where I have to clean these gentile ladies chamber pots, go back home later to give my few pennies of salary to my abusive husband while I cooked a measly dinner comprising of the gentile leftover trash dinner and all the while keeping my 5 kids from tearing each other throats. That is of course if you are born in England. I think if I were to be born in Malaya if would be the same thing.

I am livening up my imagination and try to imagine what my past life coulda been if I were born in that era or born in a different country. Its a fun hobby. 

Yes, I do realized I am not blogging enthusiastically as before. I just don't have the spirit for it at the moment.

My Tuesday post.

ladida. Also. Don't you ever find yourself itching to eat something after you have a particularly bad/tasteless meal. Macam trying to wash out the bad taste out of your mouth and to make your taste bud satisfied walaupon perut kekenyangan?

As per usual

Writing here Tuesday:

So just for fun, we posted up entries at this blog on a particular day. Mine is Tuesday, so today my post is here: http://multipleeyes.blogspot.com/2010/03/pretty-short-review-for-meh-book.html.

I was planning to write a review of that book here actually, but couldn't find a time to come with another post. But its fine anyway.

Some things

Oh yeah. I changed the layout again. I got a little sick of the blog template that I had for the few months, and suddenly really wanted to change. I quite like it. Clean and simple. So will add the usual widgets later on.



The thing with working in the middle of a huge sprawling shopping complex is the temptation to shop. Never really cave in to the whim before but this week I am sorely, sorely tempted to buy 2 pair of shoes. One is Andre Comfort, a gray, very cute shoes that have little crisscross on top. The other is Zang Toi red heels that just looks so sexy and incredible that I feel if wearing it I would walk sambil flip, flip hair and imagine windfan blowing hair (sebab itu kena flip) and fabrics all around like Gisele Bundchen on a photoshoot. Yes, walaupon, pendek, agak pear shape and have short stubby legs, sekali sekala perasan supermodel tak salah okeeehhhh.

Both cost a few ratus, and I don't spend that much on shoes. But walking past those shoes everyday does not make the heart grow less fonder ok.




My bladders are working against me. I mean I don't know how, but recently I can't hold my pee for long. Its like I had a forgotten gastric bypass and my bladders suddenly shrunk. I mean last week, I felt the need for the no. 1 just before boarding a plane. Nothing to it, as airports got loads of toilets.

Then after boarding the plane and right before takeoff, I feel like I really need to pee. Like right now and then. I wasss dying for the plane to get the fuck off the runway and glide up and leveled so the damn seatbelt sign can turn off, signalling me that it is A-OK to dash into the miniscule toilet. All that process took an agonizing 15 - 20 minutes. Mouthed off to my husband "Realllyyy need to peeeee" and he showed me the barf bag while making a show of peeing in it. That does not help okeh.

This also a problem in the office. The cleaner always opt to clean the bathroom during the time I needed it most. Gah! If that happened I dash off downstairs to the Gardens premiere RM5 toilet and showed my ISETAN card (at least if no shopping is done, the card is useful) since it is complimentary for ISETAN and ROBINSON's card members. Hah! Lagi clean, wangi and got perfume some more.

Ok. Enough toilet talk.


It is for me because esok aku cuti! Yeay!

The post of no concluding point but one

Its been a few years down the line with this blog.

Honestly, I don't know what to talk about in this blog as I now choose to keep most family and personal matters out of ere( so that people reading this blog wouldn't be offended but I may talked about some. Heh),. But we had rehashed this topic already aight. I will keep on spewing whatever stuffs I can muster about. Those of you who cares enough to read and stay and comment, will continue to do so until you feel bored about the whole thing and move on to the next more interesting thing.

Now, I want to talk about other blogs. Let's be honest. Before this I used to read other blogs religiously. Popular blogs like Suanie, Waitterrant, Kenny and Xiaxue. Suanie up to this point, I enjoyed but she blogged less and less now. All the others and some other notables I am not mentioning I had stopped because mainly of the 'celeb' status or Nuffnang. Waiterrant have good writing style still and so does the others. I am not here to hanker on their writing or blog style because you all know I have none.

I am of course only a person out of a million who blogs. But the thing is, nowadays I am enjoying reading blogs that have none of the followers of these 'celeb' bloggers do. I even like Xiaxue. I find her crass, opinionated, thoughtless but damn she is entertaining. But the thing I found that turned me off is the 'adverts'.

I kinda cringe when seeing 'adverts' on people blogs. The bigger they are, the worse it looked to me. But I totally understand that people wants free $$ so I unclench and STFU and just continue reading. I 'clenched' further when these big ass adverts now come animated. Moving, getting bigger when scroll over, and some even with sounds. Sigh.

But the worst is when the advertorial post come in.Its fine with one or two post in a month. But it seems to be nowadays, out of 10 post. 8 are advertorial, 2 are not. A bit much. Then the invites to events because they are 'celebs' blogger. Invite to restaurants. Invite to parties. Invite to premieres. While they are saying it is fun, it just scream adverts to me. I am a bit turn off by this. Maybe jealousy? Maybe, because I know I can't have what they have. But dudes, it is just not interesting anymore.

Back in the days, people are getting excited if their traffic generated 100 hits per day. (I have yet to achieve this, and resigned myself to always having 20 readers per day. Teehee) Nowadays, people are clamoring over Nuffnang (which is the BIG thing now) in blog posting, to get invites and adverts and such. Now before people start screaming "YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS and IF YOU DO NOT LIKE OUR BLOG, STOP READING." (Ain't that the mantra for bloggers nowadays? ) I did state, maybe I am jealous and I still like your blog.

But I am just getting sick of adverts.

Which is the reason I stopped reading Kenny Sia. And some other notables. This is even a don't do or do kinda post. I am just whining that I don't like reading advertorial post because I know I can't have these stuffs for free yet I am too 'mengade' to not subscribe to Nuffnang and my post is mediocre.

Geeez. The point is again?

Because I am bored

Lalalala. I changed the layout, cause I gotten bored of the old one. Orangish Blackish! Also because I am bored.

So the blog list as usual, menyakitkan hati aku. Kalo nak tuka, abes la sume link dikumpul and need to re-add again. Tension aku. So the list will be expanded bit by bit. And I missed my old blog formats of 3 column and this is sorta OK, so I revert to the 3 column plak.

This blogger is not in the mood

to be all around joyous.

I feel

... tired.
... disillusioned.
... angry. (for no apparent reason)
... useless.
... ronery.
... sick of it all.

But where's my mood to blog nowadays. I can cranked up a long post full of words easily back in the days. Now, it seems hard. Do not want to badmouth people I know in here. Do not feel like I need to tell people on how I feel. Do not have the energy to update what I do in the day to day basis, cause that would bored you and me both to death. Nothing interesting. Nothing I am passionate about. Nothing to keep MY world revolve in brightly coloured hue ( a metaphor I used loosely, so I have no idea what it even means).

Tah la kan. Maybe I am just feeling a tad blues. Hurmp. Maybe tomorrow is a better day since today is so grey.

Oh belog ku...

I was thinking about writing about my exes. Adalah 1, 2 cerita yang hendak di-rehash and gelak-gelakkan. But I just couldn't find the mood yet. Kena ade mood ok nak belog2.

Anyway, I don't have any big plans for the weekend, rilek2 aje lah di rumah.

Hermmmm...

I was thinking the blog world had become a little lacklustre. I don't really know why. Probably too many people are doing it. So many are cashing in on it. Which comes to another question on why haven't I joined that Nuffnangers.

I wondered that myself. At first I am kinda hesitant to blog for the sole reason of money and was thinking bukannye ramai pon visitor aku. Sekarang ni macam... hmmm macam menarik je kan. A lot of people are doing it and aku pon like money. And most of them love to blog. Some of them blogs are pretty mindless empty postings anyway. Posting full of fluffs. But most of my posting are like that. It have no defined body in it. Bercerita je la pasal ape2 pon.

My purpose to blog seems to differ as time goes. At one point, it should be kind like a journal. But like I said before. You can reveal yourself only up to a point. And to be honest. The reason autobiography or 'diaries' are really fun, is when there a lot of dirty dishes to offer. I can't bring myself to dishes on the most controversial or my innermost feelings or dirrty dirrrty secrets. Huhu.

Then it comes to a somewhat mindless rambles from there. The books I read. The films I see. Its not particularly interesting. Boring in fact as one of my ex dare to say. Hoh! Boring di katanya.

Hahaha. Well, this is a different story from the stories I originally wanted to tell. Oh ini juga bukan ex yang sama from the stories I want to tell (banyaknye ex aku la kan). But I think few years back, my ex was bemoaning the fact during our IM session that he was bored and was asking me for any cool sites to go to. At the time I was enraptured by the Gaijin Smash blog. His blog is awesome. I still like his postings though it kinda rare nowadays. Anyway, I was saying "Why don't you go tu blog ni..." ( I had not finished typing yet.) . Then he said something like
"Oh... I dah go to your blog. Arrr.. its not to my taste. I macam bosan bile baca."

Damn! Talk about insult la kan. Bwahahaha. And how the hell does he know my blog anyway. I coldly replied "I was not asking you to go to my blog. But to this blog."

Cilaker sungguh. Ade ke patut die dissed my blog. Its not like I was forcing him to read my postings and say stuffs like... "Eh, read my blog laaa and komen la skali". Aku tak sekeji ituh, tapi die secara unintentionally (ke intentionally?), telah mengkeji-kejikan belog aku.

Eh... and do I worry if he would read this posting? Tak punyer. Dah die cakap bosan. Haha. Gile ayat tak puas hati.

Hoh. Dari nak cerita pasal blog reason and Nuffnangs and people who post mindless stuffs on blogs last last ke ex jugak.

Takpe. Itu gunanye topic "Random Ramblings".

On 2nd thoughts...

I think I like this template better. Love the color. And I love the kitty in the 'perahu' overseeing the stars serenaded by the owl. The twinkling dreamy quality of the color and image, is just what I like it most. Its almost 'me'. Heh.

This lovely template is still taken from the same site as before.

Ugh. My feet is hurting. Its annoying. I don't know what cause it, but I had been limping like the Hunchback of Notre Dame all day.

Hurm. I think I want to get back to the lovely Jensen Ackles and proceed to marathon meself a Supernatural.

Tada!

Tuka template sempena new year! Which is why I tutup jab blog.

Though, I don't particularly like this green color. Tapi it is clean and simple and I like its retro pic. So perhaps I will test it out a while. And if my eyes just can't stand the green, I will change it. Took it from a lovely site, that have all sorts of beautiful templates. Though I did change the girl sitting coquettishly at the header from blonde to brunette. Because I'm a brunette! So its kinda like me, sitting in front of a computer, minus boobs that big.

So in the mean time, the link list will not be filled out yet. As penat la nak duk add satu2. Tunggu confirm and by then bits by bits.

Oh!

Yesterday decided to go to KLCC alone and catch a UK movie called "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging". I always like UK movies, they have a fun sense of humour. And their movie is not too preachy. And I was right, it was hilarious. This movie is basically a tween movie about girl (Georgia) like boy, but boy like someone else but kinda like her too. You get the drift. Its kinda like Mean Girls, UK version.

Though I do think at times I feel way too old to watch this kinda movie (it is produced by Nickelodeon! Gad! I felt old when I saw that!), but the movie had its high moments. It was hilarious to see the kissing lessons. By the end of the kissing lessons the girl and the boy are covered by saliva. Saliva-ville!!! Yeuch!. And of course the sorta silly moments usually made by girls trying to impress boys.


I also like that the 'heroine' is just your typical girl next door. And when she turned gorgeous, it is a very stunning transformation. Tak la macam "She's All That", masa tak lawa because only she is wearing some frumpy clothes and glasses. Gah!

Also, I finally watched "Shaun of the Dead".



What? Yes, yes. I know as someone who loves zombie movies, your freakness is not complete without watching the hilarious "Shaun of the Dead". Oh and I was laughing and jumping. Yeah yeah. I still have that weird habit of jumping up and down whenever I watch a particularly..... what's the word? Exhilarating, spine tingling? When you know the monster is right behind that door and the girl is opening that door. Ah! So usually, that particular moment makes me jump up and down.

Oh, but I love this movie. Though it does have a lot of reference to British humour which I don't know, but its so side-splittingly funny. Favorite scene is that acting lessons on how to be a zombie as I like Di character. When watching, I kept on thinking, she is sooo familiar. Movie over and few clicks at IMDB.com makes me realize she is the droll Sara in Reaper. Heh. No wonder.

Well, this movie makes me all excited to watch for Simon Pegg other movie "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" The trailer looks fun. Though I do hope they would not make it preachy la yek. Eh, but it had been released yek?

Oh...

Been so busy the past days before cuti, that I didn't get to schedule my other blog posts. Ah well. The memes and the photos are at my laptop at home so lagi la malas hapdet.

Still at in laws house at Bintulu. Currently am using my husband laptop while he is snoring beside me and the battery is just about out. Will be back on Thursday, but will still be holiday-ing. So malas mode still rampaging on.

Later. Adieu.

What's ahead...

This blogger may or may not be posting in about a week. She is busy trying to be a bride. (kenapa ade trying...)

Posting will resume depending on the internet connection back at home and how hectic it would be. Safe journey to friends heading this way (JB) this Saturday. Hope to see you there! I will be the jittery one wearing a beaded baju kurung trying in vain to make sure her dress would not be torn asunder by her usual blunderness and blurness.

Until the next post, this bride-to-be wishes you a good week.

I feel like eating KFC but I am too broke

I got a lot of things to do... which I am lazy to start or finish. Basically its not done la. But hey. I am lazy? That is old news.

Very mengantuk some more. I am getting sick with liaising with this particular person regarding this labeling thingies. I mean la kan. I thought that when you start with the requirement early on the project, you had already agreed on the labels that are in the system. What I DO.NOT.NEED is someone to keep on changing the bloody labels in the hundreds so near to the live date. I think whenever this person is particularly free, his thoughts would go like.. "Eh... I am so free ar. What gonna do eh? Ah yesss, let's go over those labels again and see what more things I want to change eh?"

Argh. So demotivating la weh. How I can proceed with my other works if I keep on receiving emails daily on why does this label have not been change yet and what does this mean. And more labels to be change even though we had gone over it 2 or 3 times already! And if its a new applications or labels I might understand! But its ALREADY in there for the past 3 month!

Argh. I rarely rant so much about work. So there. Abes.

In a more stress-less note, I am FINALLY at Level 2 for my violin class. And NO! I am not posting any file of me playing it. I am improving but my playing would still sound like a whale mating. I am a bit menyesal why did I not take piano. But nak beli piano pon satu hal. You think piano is so cheap meh? Anyway, violin is definitely a challenge, and bad as I sound, for a few hours in a week, it would drive out any other thoughts that maybe swimming around in my head.

Oh.. and yes. I had finally finished reading American Gods. Only at the ending that it pick up the pace a bit. Not to say that it's not enjoyable. I like the short stories of the 'gods' and the belief that Gaiman intricate in there as a sort of backstory to Shadow journey. My next book would be Anansi Boys. But the book is a hard cover one. I do not like hard cover book. I prefer the paperback copies as I can carry it around easily in my bag. I like to read everywhere, especially while waiting to cross the road at Maju Junction which at times can stretch to the longest 15 minutes of your life.

I am blogging more often eh? More things for you to read! Even if its nonsensical!

At last

I manage to change the look.

But I don't think it is quite... stable yet.

The template looked kinda messed up in my laptop. But fine from my desktop. IE and Firefox tested. Firefox had a little white space in it.. but at my laptop had a whole lot of white space. (If anyone found my blog looking like this pls inform).

If there's a whole lot of complaint from your end (just inform me if it looked messed up) or if its still looking messed up from my laptop I may change. But that gonna take weeks. Heeee. Not that I tinkered much with it; after all this is a ready made template, but I.AM.LAZY.

Also updated the link list a bit. Buang the blog links that seems to 'terkubur'. No point in keeping those around eh.

Sunday already eh? Weekends are too short.
