Are Americans really that stupid? You decide...

Found this video a while back and to this very day, it has not ceased to amaze me. I can watch it a hundred times and my reactions would still be the same... slaps forehead while going D'oh!

Now before I go on with my ramblings, do watch the video.

Oh-kay then... what do you think. I don't mean any disrespect to anybody but how can one nation have so many clueless people? How can you not know how many sides there are to a triangle?! That's like something learned when I was back in kindergarten/ pre-school.

You can excuse people who don't know general knowledge because I have met people who are so absorbed in their own world that they totally zone out from the world's on-goings. And I guess you can probably excuse people for not knowing where a certain country is although the fact that some people don't know that the country they labeled as South Korea is actually Australia is still pretty mind-boggling to me. I mean, Australia is a continent for God's sake. But how can you excuse saying that Star Wars is based on a true story?!

My fave question in the video:

What is the religion of Buddhist Monks?

... Islamic ...

*shakes head* Oh God...

Another fave moment:

I'm a little bit mixed up over the Israelis and the Palestinians. Which one is throwing the rocks?

*hangs head in shame*

This video is like complementing that Miss America Teen pageant that came up last year (refer to blog archive September, 2007 for the video). If another one of these videos pop up anytime soon then it is confirmed that an epidemic of stupidity is going around. So I suggest that people everywhere should take the necessary precautions before you actually catch 'the dumbs'.

M&M Cru (with a U) Final Dance Battle [latest update]

It's finally out. M&M Cru's latest dance vid.

I don't know yet if I like it. I think I have to watch it again.

But based on the YouTube comments, most people feel that its just a rip off of ACDC's dance vid. In certain aspects I have to agree with them because M&M are not bringing anything new to the table. I think M&M would've probably WOWed people more if they brought in more type of dance into their video, you know like ballet, flamenco etc.. Hip Hop dance isn't the only genre of dancing out there you know.

But the video was rather entertaining. I just can't wait to see what ACDC is gonna come up with! Woohoo!! There's a hint that there's gonna be a live battle. Now that's something everybody should watch out for. Imagine... Miley Cyrus in a live dance battle. *ROFL* That ought to be priceless!

M&M vs. ACDC Online Dance Battle Update

M&M is supposed to release their latest dance video today but since I'm living 8 hours ahead of their time I shall patiently wait for the release. For the time being, here's another teaser of their video. Didn't realise it was out last week due to the internet's shitty connection.

Anywhoo, come back later for M&M dance cru (with a u) *the disclaimer is corny* and lets see if they can actually end this dance battle once and for all.

Everybody is doing "it"

So in conjunction with the blog title 'Incoherent Thoughts', I shall now break off from makeup talk and talk about ANIMAL SEX!!

Yeap... it's that time of the year again. I know that there's a song that actually talks about this, you know... where everything and everybody is doing it but somehow I can't put my finger on the it. Sheesh... really hate it when that happens. It's at the tip of the tongue but your brains refuse to cooperate. Dammit... *sigh* it'll probably hit me sometime tomorrow when I'm doing the most unlikeliest things.

So yeah... everybody is doing "it". The song may be talking about something less graphic but let's not beat around the bush here. I'm gonna say it out and out, SEX. I know for a fact that a few of my friends are finally getting their first taste of making sweet luurrve *nudge nudge wink* hehehe. So anywhoo... even the birds and the bees and apparently pretty much all of the animal kingdom are in the mood for it. My trip to the zoo this time was both utterly amusing yet a little gross.

Now before all y'all start getting judgmental about why a 25 year old is at the zoo, let it be known that I was dragged there kicking and screaming by my 17 year old sister and my 27 year old cousin. The added strength of my mom's emotional blackmail just made it all the easier for 'those' two to actually get me there.

It's bad enough that I have to walk around in the blistering hot sun amidst all the hyper, yelling, screaming children *school holidays... the bane of my existence*, I was then subjected to penis flashings from the animals. GROSS!! *shudders* Apparently I wasn't the only one grossed out by those 'things' as I saw several people *through the cracks between my fingers* walking around with hands over their eyes or on their kids' eyes. What's the point of bringing your kids to the zoo if you're gonna cover their eyes?

However, I was thoroughly amused by the perplexed look parents got when their kids ask them the dreaded question, "Mom... Dad... why is that monkey/ horse/ kangaroo going on top of the other one? what are they doing?" *LMAO* Yeah... dad, why did the other one go on top of that one? Priceless *wipes away tears*

This question was ringing throughout the entire zoo, I saw giant tortoises doing it, birds, kangaroos, monkeys, goats, alligators... you name it. It's like Animal Planet, only live. Note the picture of the goats, the she-goats were actually lining up for their turns. See... even animals knows when to wait their turn. What's with humans and their fetishes for orgies and multiple partners? *shakes head*

I pity the animals that were alone in their pen though. I wonder how they let loose their sexual frustrations? I hope they don't take it out on their keepers... you know, like dogs do to their owners when horny-ness strikes them. Imagine if a hippo tried to mount you, I betcha you'll be traumatised for life. *lol*

But on a more serious note, the zoo needs help. It's clean but it's old. Some of the animals looks too skinny to actually be healthy and the fact that there were several animals that were alone in their pen shows that the zoo didn't have enough money to bring in a mate for the animal. What adds to the unfairness is that several animals are sponsored so their pens are in a much better condition than others. I just feel that people shouldn't be selective with their donations. All animals deserve the same treatment.

So to help out y'all can check out their webpage www.zoonegara.org.my. You can either choose to adopt an animal which means you need to take care of the well-being of that animal, donate money (any amount is acceptable as there were people who donated less that RM50 and were still listed in the donors list), or if you love working with animals you can volunteer your services. You even get a certificate for it so for those who wants to buff up their resumes, volunteer work is definitely the way to go.

Seriously if I had the money, I'll adopt all the animals. But being unemployed for the moment, I guess my Rm15 entrance fee would have to suffice for now.

Mac Brushes vs. Painting Brushes

Just wanted to add on to the last post. For some of you who are looking for other alternatives to makeup brushes sold in Cosmetics stores, this video will give you a clue to what you should look for. Painting Brushes!!

I'm gonna go check out the local arts and crafts store as soon as I have some free time and see if I can find any reasonable brushes that can compare to the ones mentioned in the video.

Essential Brushes

Been browsing through YouTube 'How to & Style' channel again and found some video dedicated to the essentials in makeup brushes. I know that most individuals who wears makeup, they make do with the applicators that comes with the products or even with their own fingers. However, for all makeup lovers everywhere, we know that a good brush can actually help you achieve that polished, professional look that can be seen in magazines.

I definitely would've posted up the video showing all the necessary makeup brushes but somehow I dont think that it would be a good idea. Not that the videos were not any good, (those people went through a lot of research to make the videos, so kudos to them) simply because they weren't really targeted to the market here. Other than Mac, which seems to be the unanimous favourite for makeup brushes among these makeup afficianados, where are we suppose to go for Sephora or Loew Cornel and what-nots? So to help fill in the blanks, I shall list down the 'must have' essential brushes according to these helpful makeup mavens and also according to my own humble experiences and where to find them.

There's like a gazillion types of makeup brushes out there so its best that you don't get fooled by the false pretense that you need every single one of them. Plus If you tried to buy them all, you would run out of money and places to store them. For normal everyday usage, all you need is 5 essential makeup brushes to achieve that flawless professional look.

1. Flat Head Concealer Brush

This brush is basically used to apply concealers, hence the name. The flat head allows for more precision and better control for blending. It doesn't matter if you use liquid, cream or powder, a small concealer brush will make covering up tiny imperfections a snap. Cosmetics brands such as Mac, Bobbi Brown or Stila would usually price this brush from RM65 to RM100. However, for those with a smaller budget you can get this brush from Elianto or Sasa.

2. Eyeliner Brush

Most people tend to prefer using pencil liners rather than deal with tricky liquid eyeliners or gel liners. However, liquid or gel liners offers longer lasting results than the pencil liner which smudges or wear off pretty quickly, sometimes leaving you looking like a raccoon without you knowing it (I have suffered this incident countless times. To all my friends who were too polite to tell me, bless them). A plus at having a liner brush is that you can use your favorite eyeshadow as an eyeliner by applying it with a thin eyeliner brush. You can vary the effect by using the brush wet or dry, and the colours are limited only by the eye shadows you have in your collection. This way you can cut cost from not buying different coloured eyeliners to suit your makeup moods. If you're willing to invest, you can fork out around Rm45 for this brush but if you're not then just head to Sasa (elianto doesn't have the thin brush) and get it for RM20. The eyeliner brush can come in two designs, either the thin brush (looks like a really thin paintbrush) or the slant brush (the bristles are angled). I prefer the angled brush myself as it allows better control.

3. Foundation Brush

This brush is usually used to apply powder mineral makeup to achieve that flawless finish though it works equally as well with liquid or cream foundation. It makes blending easy and makes pores disappear. If you use the brush for a liquid or cream foundation remember to wash your brush with warm soapy water frequently. Usual price for this brush would be around RM75 - Rm100. For those on budget, head on down to Sasa or Elianto. I even saw some good brushes being sold in Guardian and Watsons as well.

4. Kabuki Brush

Also known as the blush brush. Was pretty clueless when kabuki brushes was mentioned but when I checked my own collection, turns out I already have one but with a longer handle! So anyways, this brush is perfect for applying bronzers, powders and blushes. Look for a Kabuki brush with thick, heavily packed natural hair bristles as they deliver a smooth, even coat of powder or mineral make-up with a few strokes. Short Kabuki brushes are perfect for those who are usually on the go as you can always stash them in your purse. Prices for this brush usually starts from RM75. The Body Shop is also another cosmetics company that carries good makeup brushes and you know for a fact that they dont torture animals to manufacture these brushes.

5. Large Eyeshadow Brush

Sometimes, a simple wash of colour over the entire eyelid is more effective (and subtle) than heavily stylized eye makeup. Besides it simple to do and perks up your eyes instantly. To get a clean, natural look, a large rounded eyeshadow brush is a must. A good brush will evenly apply colour from lash base to brow bone in a few strokes. It will also keep powdered shadows on the eyelid instead of on the cheeks or nose. Sasa is selling these for around RM30, Elianto, Guardian and Watson should be selling these at a far cheaper price. Bigger cosmetic companies usually price these brushes around RM80.

So these are the top 5 makeup brushes that a girl should have. If you don't have them, go get them! If you do... then good for you!

There's several other items that I feel would complement these brushes.

• Sponge Wedges - Good for blending concealers in small tight spaces like under your eyes.
• Q-tips/ Cotton buds - Get the tapered-end cotton buds as they are perfect to correct little mistakes or smudges. Found some good ones in Guardian.

So that's all the makeup tools that you need for your everyday makeup needs. But as you go along your makeup tools will probably start to build up according to your needs. It's like my case where I suddenly realised that I had more stuff than I remembered buying. So I hope the list has helped. If any of you out there knows any other specific places here in Malaysia to get good quality makeup brushes and makeup tools here in Malaysia, would love to hear from you. Feel free to leave a comment!

Makeup Mania

It's been while since I last dabbled with one of the loves of my life. Makeup. I actually gave it up in the hopes that it wont distract me with my (lame) attempt to concentrate on my thesis writing. This blog is proof at how lame that attempt was *grins*.

So anyhoo... one night I found myself surfing YouTube for makeup techniques since I lost my fave makeup book and can no longer afford those books due to my current hiatus from work. Whoever took that makeup book of mine better give it or you shall FOREVER BURN IN HELL!! *coughs*

Yeah... I really LOVED that book. So give it back please.

Back to makeup... found this really great gal from America who does makeup tutorials on YouTube. Her makeup is fantastic since she's olive skinned and "cute" like myself, she is now my Makeup Guru. Beats having to shell out hundreds of bucks just to learn the same things that she's showing online. The only thing that sucks is that she's using all these products that is not available here in Malaysia or something that I can't possibly afford anytime soon. Sheesh... but other than that fact she's simply a pro. Check out her blog http://kuuipo1207.blogspot.com

This is one of my fave videos from her tutorials. It's a tutorial on everyday makeup which makes your face looks natural and fresh. And simple to do too. But what I simply love about this video is the fact that she's using alternative brushes, something that you can find from shops like Sasa or Elianto which wont burn a hole in your pocket. So WOOHOO to that.



Also found another gal, this time from Britain, who also does amazing makeup. Though in her case I think, partly, the reason why the makeup comes out great is because she has amazing eyes. Although the way she applies her makeup does indicate that she truly knows what she's doing. I think she's really famous in Britain. She's more friendlier though out of the two since she talks in her tutorials but I hafta warn you, her Brit accent is pretty thick...



This vid is a tutorial to make brown eyes 'pop'. Since I have a wedding to go to soon and I'm planning to wear green so I'm naturally attracted to this vid. Hopefully my eyes wont be the only ones that 'pop' that night. *lol*

Check out her blog http://panacea81.blogspot.com. Oh... and if you check out her other vids, you can probably hear her dog snoring. *lmao*

I've recently sent in a request for the two of them two show makeup tips and tricks for people who wears glasses. I'm hoping that they'll respond soon enough. My biggest problem with wearing glasses is the fact that my lashes tend to sweep against the lenses. Feels like I have my very own wiper blades.

Am gonna keep this blog updated with their works though will only be posting up my fave videos. Still looking out for more individuals who are good at this stuff. Will be great to compare their tips and tricks.

Am also kinda contemplating to start my own makeup video tutorials but we'll see. Dunno if I'm confident enuff with my work yet. *hehe*

A Not-So-Typical Adventure

On a typical afternoon, two typical sisters were typically hanging out doing typical things that typical people would typically do on a typical day.

When suddenly, they heard something that was not so typical.

Me: Hey didcha hear that?
Aimee: Hear what?
Me: that... that scratching sound.

(momentary pause)

Aimee: Nope... don't hear a thing.
Me: Hmmm...

So the two sisters typically went back to doing what the were doing before. When all of a sudden...

Me: there it is again!! It's coming from the cupboard!!
Aimee: A'ah... I can hear it too. I think there's something moving around in there.

(both leans in towards cupboard, listening intently)

Aimee: (solemn faced) Big sis... I think you have a rat in your cupboard.
Me: (dramatically) NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!


So the two sisters typically started to think of ways to solve this not-so-typical problem so that they can get back to their everyday typical actvities. Typically, they set a trap for the rat. But after several attempts, they typically gave up and moved on to a new plan. The not-so-typical rat was proving to be a much smarter rat than they typically thought. After brainstorming for more typical ideas, they were typically forced to resort to the old foolproof method of 'seek and capture'. The sisters were typically grossed out by the idea but they had no other typical choice unless they were willing to be roomies with a rat. And that idea, typically did not appeal to the sisters at all.

And so the search begins. With the help of a typically long stick, the sisters began to remove items of their typical clothing from the cupboard. The not-so-typical rat however, ensured that his not-so-typical home was well protected in case of a siege and thus as the typical sisters moved deeper and deeper into the cupboard, their senses were typically attacked by an overwhelming smell of rat pee and rat poop. Eeeyyuuuwww!!

Undeterred by this not-so-typical attack, the typical sisters ploughed on until suddenly...

Me: (Screams shrilly) There it is!! It's coming right at us!!
Aimee: Aiyeee... relax la. Penakut betul kamu ni.

Aimee, typicall being the bravest despite being the youngest, started to chase the not-so-typical rat around the room until it finally climbed up the drapes and typically escaped through the window.

Me: phew...
Aimee: Thats his home now. He can come back you know...
Me; Wha...??!! (shudders violently)

So what do you think is the typical ending for this not-so-typical drama?

The rat came back and drove the sisters out of the room for a couple of days, typically. (-_*)

Bumbling Mumblings

I have finally found a way to change my blog background *Yeay!* However I have not found a way to actually make the background big enough to encompass the whole blog. So for now I'm making do with a repetitive image. So far I'm happy. It's simple enough yet I have stamped enough of my identity on the blog. Will continue tinkering though...

And I have also found out the name of my phobia. Let the world be known that I am a Hemophobic.

Hemophobia or Hemaphobia or Hematophobia- Fear of blood.

Yes I get squemish at the sight of blood. No I don't close my eyes when I watch gory scenes in movies *I can tell the difference between fake blood and real blood, you know*. And yes I am sometimes woozy at the sight of my own blood. But only when it is in large quantities *I'm not a wuss*.

Hence any career within the medical field is totally out of the question for me. Not a loss at all for me.

If any of you out there feel the urge to look up your own phobias, check out this site: The Phobia List

A HUGE congrats to Kak Umi, Umi Kelsom Nayan, for safely delivering a baby girl. Let's all welcome Nur Ameerah Dzakiyah into the world *shall post a picture of her when I go and visit Kak Umi (",)*.

Congratulations
Kak Umi

"A baby is God's opinion that life should go on. Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. The finest of our precision watches, the most super-colossal of our supercargo planes don't compare with a newborn baby in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs, in the flow and change of chemical solutions, in timing devises and interrelated parts that are irreplaceable."

Oops... wrong info!

There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM.

The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee.

He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.

The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor.

When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.

At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.

The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.

The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter.

After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena.

'I'm sorry,' he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...'

'Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.

*lmao. Get it?*

Dance Battle Update

As promised I now bring you the update to the M&M vs. ACDC online dance battle. According to their latest post on YouTube, they aim to END the dance battle this coming June 10th.

Hmmm... can they actually 'bring it'?

Here's a teaser for their latest dance vid.



Well... looks pretty promising but I don't think ACDC is scared much. They're pros!

Anyways, get online June 10th and let's see if Miley and Mandy has what it takes.

Graffiti is ART!!

Graffiti has never been considered art. I don't know why but it seems that for most people graffiti is just scribblings on the wall that deface properties and 'uglify' conformity and uniformity. This mindset is too outdated. I think its high time people change this perspective.

Graffiti in a way, is like a blog. It's a means of expression in which you express with your art rather than your words. Art is no longer for art's sake nowadays. In today's world... art speaks. And for those creative artists, they show the world what they're thinking of in the graffiti.

A few months back, KL had an extensive display of graffiti art all along the bank walls of Sungai Klang (I think its Sungai Klang, correct me if I'm wrong), which can be seen clearly from the Pasar Seni Putra LRT. They were great works of art, colourful and tasteful. No vulgarity, no offensive words or pictures. They actually made the grey, drabby sights of the dirty river nice to look at. But most importantly they send out a message to the community. Look closely and you'll see messages against rape, truancy in school, and war. What more could you ask for in art?

But alas... since to some people graffiti is still considered graffiti, they were painted over with white paint. The pictures below are a tribute to the nameless artists who wents against the norms and helped beautify the ugly sights of KL. Even if the government doesn't appreciate you, we the normal citizens of the city does.

Now these amazing creative expressions are gone but "The MAN" can never hold the people down. It may take some time to get back the cool graffiti wall that was there before but I see there are already people working on it. I wish them the best of luck and hopefully someday the Great Graffiti Wall of Klang River will be returned to its former splendour.

Rape the Walls, Not The Kids!!

Wedding Fever

Wedding season is back!! Now that the schools are out, weddings are in!

Attended my first wedding of the season just the other day and thank GOD it started off on a good note *I usually hate weddings*. Now although my friends and I were lost for nearly an hour but we were greeted by a beeyootifull bride and a handsome groom. That warms our hearts a little bit. Then we met some old friends which made our hearts even warmer. Got sum cake in a cool box *yeay* and finally the FOOD!!

Yes... Food is always the main highlight of any kenduri. If the food sucks then your rep will fall way down. If your food is good then people will remember your wedding for a long time. So yeah, the food at Tini's wedding was gooood...

So good that I didn't have any appetite left for TGIF's food. Now that is unusual for me*I LOVE TO EAT!!* Til now I can still remember the taste of the nasi minyak and gulai kambing. Yum!

Starting the wedding season with good kenduri food is surely a sign that the season will be a good one. So with this happy note I look forward to the next wedding. Intan's kenduri... Here I come!!

CONGRATULATIONS
Tini & Syakir
(25th May 2008)

The Biggest Online Dance Battle...

This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands. They know pretty much everything that is rather unnecessary that is going on about in te internet world. So my unnecessary trivia for the moment is...

The Online Dance Battle between M&M and ACDC.

Brief intro... M&M stands for Miley Cyrus and Mandy Jiroux, the BFF duo that came up with their own online Youtube show called 'The Miley and Mandy Show'. The show is basically a video blog of them rambling about anything and everything that interests them. ACDC on the other hand stands for Adam / Chu Dance Crew. Chu was the director of 'Step Up 2: The Streets' and Adam was an actor in the movie. They too have their own video blog on Youtube. So out of fun they decided to issue a dance challenge to Miley and Mandy. Check out their challenge video...

So yeah... The were really good. So did M&M respond to the challenge?

They sure did!! Check out their dance video.

I hafta say that they did a really good job and considering that Miley is not really a dancer she danced well. And having Channing Tatum and Jenna Dawson from 'Step Up' to dance on their video was a good touch. ACDC did say that they can recruit just about anybody. And judging from the response, most Youtube viewers preferred M&M's dance video.

Round 1 - Miley and Mandy!!

Round 2, ACDC steps up their game. Taking a leaf from M&M's book, they recruited, I think everybody they could think of and came up with the coolest dance video so far. Check it out...

So far the response is phenomenal. And with this video, I must say that ACDC may win hands down. M&M seems to be taking a long time to respond so its either they're taking a long time to come up with a really good and fantastic dance vid to counter ACDC or they have given up altogether. I really hope its not the latter.

Anyways, this is the end of today's unnecessary trivia. Though any further news on the dance battle shall be posted in this blog for those who actually care enough to read it. Now... I shall be off in search for more useless info.

Pak Lah vs. Mahathir

Tun Mahathir and his wife are leaving UMNO. The latest "scare" in Malaysia's political scene. It is Tun's latest ultimatum for the resignation of our PM. So what is Malaysia supposed to make of this? Hmm...

I've been brought up by a mother who is major propagator of Malay rights and heritage thus at this time of political confusion within the strongest Malay political group in Malaysia, my ears are constantly bombarded by my mother's view of how Tun is embarassing the Malays and this is the chance that the other races in Malaysia would take advantage of in order to gain political control of this country. Yeah... pretty strong views for a high school principle don't you think?

So where do I stand in this political turmoil? Do I mirror my mother's sentiments? Should I?

Out of all the Prime Ministers of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir has always been the one that I have most looked up to. But would the stepping down of Pak Lah change anything at the moment? Would his leaving UMNO actually leave a lasting impact on the party itself?

I must admit that UMNO's loss of the 2/3 majority in the latest elections should be a blow to all hardcore UMNO supporters but to think about it... wouldn't it be a good wake up call for our Barisan leaders. They've been in power for so long that it is very likely most of them have become complacent. I for one, rejoice over the fact that Samyvellu lost. It's about time new blood were brought into the political scene. It would be interesting to see what changes would be brought by the non-Barisan parties.

A good strategist knows that one of the best weapon in a conflict is patience. Waiting for the right time with the right strategy is truly essential in ensuring a lasting victory. In my opinion if UMNO and Barisan truly want to take back their 2/3 majority power in the future, they should use the next 5 years before the next elections to come up with a new strategy of winning and learn from their mistakes. Pak Lah has to step up. Malaysians are not stupid. Loyalty to one's race and ideologies is one thing, but that is no longer the key factor in ensuring a win in an election. So open your eyes Barisan.

In a way, this ultimatum given by Tun Dr. Mahathir may be a good thing. Maybe it'll scare Pak Lah and the rest of the UMNO cohorts to actually step up their game in order to prove to Tun that they can actually do well even without his support. Come on Pak Lah... you can do it!! Show the world what you're made of!

Whats up with blogger?

I am horribly unhappy with blogger's new system. I loved my old template but somehow they refuse to allow me to make any changes to them anymore so I had to upgrade and go with the utterly boring standard template.

Or maybe I'm stuck with it coz I am just utterly hopeless at HTML.This is probably the actual case but...

whatever! I wanna blame blogger.com

So I'm currently in the midst of trying to personalise this horrendously pink template of mine. So far I've managed a few things but I still have not stamped my personality on it at all. Darn it...

Too lazy to change domains and start from scratch. I guess I'll be stuck with this pink vomit for a while.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BLOGGER.COM... *not

Melodic Poetry

This is probably one of the best songs that I've heard in a long time. Ray LaMontagne... you have found yourself another hardcore fan.

Be Here Now
~Ray LaMontagne~

Don't let your mind get weary and confused..y
our will be still; don't try.
Don't let your heart get heavy, child
inside you there's a strength that lies.

Don't let your soul get lonely, child
it's only time; it will go by.
Don't look for love in faces, places
it's in you; that's where you'll find kindness.

Be here.. be here now.. be here now..
be.. be here now.. be here now...

Don't lose your faith in me,
and I will try not to lose faith in you.
Don't put your trust in walls,
'cause walls will only crush you when they fall.

Be...be here now... be here now.
Be...be here now...be here now.

Whitney-First ever Full Figured Model to win ANTM

Whitney - the first ever full-figured model to ever win America's next top model. As much as I applaud the fact that a normal looking woman was chosen as a winner for once, I cant shake the feeling that somehow her win was just a gimmick. A marketing ploy to boost up ratings for the show. Yeah sure she's HOT and take undoubtedly great pics (sometimes) and totally killed the Versace runway but one cant dismiss the fact that she was nearly sent home 4 times. Plus her rival Anya constantly gives fantastic pictures. Rumours has it that Tyra wants a full-figured model to win coz she too has luscious curves.

But that being said, lets just hope that Whitney maintain her full-figuredness and not turn out to be another wafer, stick-thin model after being in the fashion industry. Lots of luck Whitney!!

Girl's Nite Out

I pray to God that hopefully I'll never ever be as desperate as this girl. Funny Vid though!

Fave scene = Girl goes "STALKER!!"

Pathetically Single?

Who's more pathetic? A lone person at the cafe, sipping coffee and reading a book all alone or a couple who's holding hands, are loving and yet their lives only revolves around each other? Which would you prefer?

I fall into the former category. I'm very much single though not for the lack of trying. I guess there's nobody out there at the moment that is just right for me. So yeah I do go to cafes alone to enjoy a latte or two. I can stay there for hours enjoying a good book or surfing the internet amidst the busy buzz of coffee lovers. I also enjoy shopping, going to the movies, the theater and once in a while a poetry gig or movie shorts previews. And yes... I dont mind doing all these activities alone.So why out of 10 people, 8 would deem me pathetic?

Being single in a couple-oriented world is like social suicide. Like a zit on an otherwise blemish-free skin. You can really get rid of it but its there, sticking out like a sore thumb. Only time can actually rid the world of the zit. Time or a really good pimple cream.

Could it be that the idea of being fabulously single (fabulously single as in enjoying life even though you're not a half in a couple) as pathetic is just another indication that people are merely afraid of those who are independant and happy. Or perhaps jealousy that people actually do enjoy life beyond what couple-dom holds.

So anyways, if my enjoying my own company is considered pathetic then so be it. Then I am pathetic and loving it!

Ulek Mayang Terengganu

I've always had a fascination towards the Ulek Mayang song. Being born and raised in the East Coast, I grew up with the story of the dying young man who was visited by the 7 fairy princesses who nurses him back to. The story itself however, is not as beautiful as the dance itself.

Unfortunately due to the raising religious awareness in the country, and also the increasing fear of the "spirit world", the Ulek Mayang song and dance has been considered taboo in some parts. Ulek Mayang in its traditional form was a dance of worship. The dance was once performed to worship the spirit of the sea. The song itself is haunting enough to transport people into a dream-like state even more so the leading role in the dance is a shaman. The dancers use 'mayang pinang' (strings of arecanut's flowers). While dancing, the 'mayang pinang' will be shaken until the person holding it feels that the 'mayang pinang' is alive or moves by itself then it is given to another dancer. There were known cases that dancers playing the part got so into the character that they were possessed by spirits and could not step out of the trance once the performance was over. Exorcism had to be done to free the poor soul from the spirits.

Other traditional Malay dances has this kind of reputation as well, for example, the Kuda Kepang dance. Men who played the part of the riders were said to sometimes go into a trance-like state as the dance was once a form of totemic worship. Mak Yong too has strong links with spirit possession however, none can beat the eerie fame of Ulek Mayang.

There's no new known cases of spiritual possession during an Ulek Mayang dance but the legend lives on. The legend is not meant to scare but perhaps as a precaution for those who are foolish enough to dabble with the unknown.

25th Birthday Gath. (The Sequel)

Due to my procrastinations and dire laziness, I had to head back to Ipoh and seriously settle my thesis. So a small and intimate birthday gathering was planned where good company was aplenty and shisha smoke can mingle with the breeze. Leaving KL is a bitch but a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do. So this is a tribute to all who came to celebrate my getting older (yeuch!!) and my leaving KL for seclusion (*sob). U all shall always be in my heart...

Al-Amir, the scene where I celebrated my 25th birthday (the sequel :P). Don't these two hotties (Adry and Nurul) look good. Can't believe these two are already engaged!! The men must be crying for their loss. Hehehe...

Jacque, my newly acquired sarcasm sparring partner and my beloved blue-eyed Zetty. Miss them loads!! (Jacque, not so much :P Kidding only laa)

All d gals together. As is the fact of life I seldom see them anymore due to each individual's schedule. But they'll be friends for life. Love you all...

Men vs. Women

My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God, and I didn't.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically,

"Relatives of yours?"

"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws"


W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use. A day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

CREATION
A man said t o his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. " The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
*This is degrading for women but what the heck it's kinda funny*

Top Ten Reasons Women Want Men To Say "I Love You"

Top Ten Reasons Women Want Men To Say "I Love You"

1. They like the words.
2. Girls, at times, think that the "words" are important.
3. They can brag to their friends that they got him to do it.
4. It makes them feel all tingly to hear it.
5. Commitment/Power
6. He ain`t gettin ANY unless he does.
7. It makes up for what a jerk he is the rest of the time.
8. It makes sex better.
9. The woman can say it back without risking rejection.
10. The woman wants to see his dick fall off.

This was emailed to me by a male friends of mine and frankly I'm quite at loss for words. A part of me feels like laughing but the feminist in me is pissed. But after contemplating a bit I managed to appease the feminist in me and decided to laugh.This is probably the funniest piece of crap that I came across for quite some time.

These reasons were probably made up by some guys who felt the "pressure" of uttering the three "magic words" to their girlfriends. Like I said they're crap but there are a few points that kinda hit home. For example reason no 2. In fact some guys seem to think that way too. One of my former boyfriends actually asked me to be his girlfriend by uttering those three words first. Talk about pressure. Alas... I was young, stupid, and unfortunately on the rebound after a horrible breakup decided to accept the poor guy. True enough after a few weeks I began to look for ways to sabotage the relationship. And yeah... we broke up after a couple of months. I guess some people misconstrue the true meaning of those three words. It has totally become overrated. People say it for everything now. "Honey can you pass the butter? Thanks... I love you." I guess that's why reason no 1 was made. This makes the words totally lose its meaning. I still believe in the saying that 'action speaks louder than words'.

However women being women, it does help for guys to actually say it once in a while. But keep it special. I just wish women would sometimes appreciate the words more and not expect the words to be uttered at all times. Saying it a thousand of times does not excuse a guy from being a jerk. If you're a jerk then you're a jerk. I love you's don't erase that fact. So reason no 7 goes in the can.

Saying the words also does not guarantee a reward. Okay... maybe unless the girl was young, stupid, drunk or under emotional imbalance like I was. Women nowadays don't fall for the "I Love you's" pre, during or post-sex anymore. I would like to believe that we have become smarter than that. So reason no 6 can be thrown into the bin.

Although I must agree with reason no 8. Those three words when uttered with sincerity does make sex better. And yes reason no 4 is correct. Sad but true. I guess that's why men always say it before sex coz dumb girls, who never having heard their guy say it ever before, would actually fall for it and actually put out. Tsk... tsk... tsk... But like I said, I believe women has grown smarter to fall for that anymore. But it goes to show how strong the power of faith is. I mean the girls who truly believed that the guys who only said "I love you" right before sex truly loved them would actually enjoy the experience. Sure she might get an orgasm in a random sexual act but enjoyment is another thing altogether.That tingly feeling that they get after hearing the words "I Love You" actually helps a whole lot.

Reason no 3 is bullshit. Women don't brag to their friends about guys saying the words. Women have more class than that. Though women do love to show-off. Women just loves it if their men say the words to them in public especially in front of their friends. No... it's not bragging but a mere act of display on the power of one women's sexuality over a guy. And thus proves reason no 5 that women gets a rush of power from getting a guy to commit. What women wouldn't? Competition in the modern world is crazy. Decent men are scarce. So if a women bags one they'd do everything in their power to make the guy commit.

As for reason no 10... well, I hope that its not meant literally coz that'll be a horrible sight and I doubt the women would want to be in that relationship for long after an integral member of the male anatomy is gone. But if speaking figuratively... well it can probably be linked to reason no 5 though in a whole radical feminist kinda way. I, however, personally believe that this reason was made up by a man who has a mortal fear of commitment and feels that if he does utter those "words" his dick would fall off. Well... whoever made that reason up is plain wrong. Seriously, we women appreciate that part of the male anatomy and we would like to see it stay where God intended it to be.

Whatever the real reasons for women to want men to say "I Love You" is debatable. No two women can agree on the exact same things so it's better to just keep it as it is. Whoever came up with this list though deserves a pat on the back for making me laugh.

Miss "Dumb" Teen USA South Carolina 2007

The latest portrayal of beauty queen's stupidity. And OMG she totally sets all blondes back by a millenium. You really can't blame people for saying that blondes are dumb coz this girl actually reaffirms it.

And to think that she got 4th place in the pageant. Just goes to show how much Americans values intelligence. And who can blame American kids for not knowing where their own country is on the map... they follow the lead of their president, who is supposedly the most powerful man in the world but have never even heard of the Czech Republic.

Cradle SNatcher

I am no cradle snatcher!!

Just because I used to date a younger guy does not mean I only go for younger men!!

I am no pedophile!! Aarggh!!

A lifetime of teasing and being poked fun of just because of a blip in history. GAWD!! He was only 2 years younger I tell you!! Not 16!

When will the teasing end? When will their "fun" stop?

Seriously... I'm looking for an older man now. I am... I am...

Someone... please get me an older man...

Colour Mix

What is up with all the colour discrimination? A person can't be friends with another member of the opposite sex who is coincidentally another shade of skin colour altogether without being thought of by their women as "stealing their men" anymore? Gawd... Who wrote these rules?
I've seen people from two opposite ends of the earth living together in perfect harmony. So yeah I feel that the colour of your skin has nothing to do with your will to be happy.

With this really positive outlook in life, my girl friend, another mixed-match person, I went out for drinks with some guys who were working with us on a project. They were foreigners. We had a blast. They were nice people. Language confusion was a great joke between us and it was damn refreshing to actually go out with a couple of guys who engages in mild flirtation but expects nothing more from us whatsoever. All harmless fun.

Unfortunately we had to bump with the female equivalents of their race. With them was another of the guys that we worked with and is it our fault that the guy chose to come over and hang with us instead of staying and hanging out with them. We can't help ourselves from being cool (;P). So yeah... probably because of that move, and also probably because we were with the other guys before that, we were given the evil eye by the girls. Oh, Come on... what's with the dagger stares? None of them were in a relationship with any of the girls and neither of us were interested to be in one with any of guys. Sheesh...

Apparently, we were considered moving onto their turf. My friend, who had experiences dating foreigners, explains that these people (not all, but most of them) just can't accept the colour difference. To them their men is only for them. Seriously... what the hell? Is this a result of mass insecurity that is unique to a every race? Do these women actually feel threatened by the appearance of girls of different race in their social scene? Are they afraid that their men would start prefering women of another colour? Gawd... So juvenile. I mean those girls were HOT. Probably way hotter than we were and yet they feel threatened by just the colour of our skin?!
It's pretty amusing watching them watch our every move. But what the heck. We've always been people who pretty much did what we liked and not care what others say. But I wouldn't be suprised to hear rumours within their community that we're a couple of sluts. It happens. I should probably give them something real to talk about and actually steal one of their men. That'll teach them. But nah... the gratification I'm getting out of that probably wouldn't be as satisfying. Haha...

I'm just wondering if I'll ever see the day that this idiotic notion about race mixing will ever go away. It's simply irritating and juvenile. Probably won't happen in my lifetime though. I just wanna enjoy a cup of coffee with a bunch of really cool guys after a hard day's work. Is that really so much to ask?!

Second best...

Being second best sucks. I mean who would wanna be in that position. Being second best is virtually like being non-existant. In a race, who would remember the person who got to the finish line second. It's either the winner who'll get all the attention or the poor guy who finished last cause even though he didn't win he tried his best and finished the race anyways. But what about all the guys in-between? They deserve some praise too!

Right now, in real life, I'm constantly second best. I don't know how or why but I'm constantly the number two person. No matter what I do it pales in comparison with the efforts of another. And what sucks even more is that the other person is an extremely close friend. So what can I do? What I'm going through is one of those dillemas that testifies real life is shitty.
It's natural that being second best most of my efforts go unnoticed. Or sometimes the things that I do is attributed to the other. It happens all the time. But seriously what can I do? What can I say?

My only defence mechanism is to laugh it off. Make a joke about it. Make it seem that it doesn't bother me but somehow deep down it still does. Is it jealousy? Envy? I guess so. But I think it's deeper than that. Though I'm not really sure what it is exactly.

Why is it that I'm invisible? Why is it that people just doesn't seem to see me? Are people really that shallow to not see the obvious when we are together? We all have our strengths but are mine so miniscule that it's instantly overshadowed by mere physical appearance? I'm just surprised that my self-esteem was actually strong enough to actually withstand these assaults every day. And somehow I haven't crumbled with all the pressure. I think other girls would probably go anorexic with the things that I have to go through.

I'm not ranting away out of frustration while in reality I'm sitting back and letting things happen. My will to be noticed, to make my efforts known are doubled. It is not surprising that I've been labelled as the aggressive one coz that's what I have to resort to make people sit up and listen. I work doubly hard for something that comes easily to another. It's not fair but that's the way life is.

These efforts are still not enough though. I'm still second best. I'm still the shadow. I'm still the posse.

Is physical change the answer? Is that what it takes nowadays? Shallowness is the deciding factor for a person's success? Must I stoop to the point of shallowness just to make it in life? Is that what I have to do to be the best?

Maybe it is...

The Shisha and I

I seriously don't know what made me do it. Me smoking shisha!! For somebody who finds cigarettes disgusting I'm totally at ease with smoking shisha. I had strawberry flavour.And it was kinda nice. I'd definitely do it again. Maybe next tme I'd try some other flavours. Chocolate sounds cool ;P

Difference between ciggies and shisha... you can't carry it around with you. So there's no chance of me getting addicted. Unless I somehow manage to procure myself a car (which is not anytime soon) and go to the shisha place every night. Thank god that place is hard to get to. And according to my shisha buddies who are experts on this subject, good shisha places are hard to find. Ironically the bad shisha places are run by arabs who brought this stuff to Malaysia in the first place.

I guess I kinda understand why some people love to smoke so much. There's somewhat a satisfaction when you exhale all that smoke out. For me I kinda also get energised afterwards. I'm actually typing this after my very first stint with the shisha. Woohoo!
But this is as close as I will get to smoking. I just can stand ciggie smoke. They stink. And then you end up stinking afterwards. If only everybody quit ciggie smoking and start taking up shisha. I think the world would be a better place. If not... at least there'll be less ciggie butts lying around everywhere.

Prejudices

After years of being here in IIU I am finally thrown into the international students social scene. What an irony.

Yeah... when I was in undergraduate I guess I was so wrapped up in my own world and biasness that I never really gave these people a chance. To me back then... they were all the same. Stuck up and prejudiced. When in reality I was the one with the prejudices.

Though it didn't help matters much when they too had their own prejudices against me. These people tend to see me in my baju kurung and my tudung bawal and instantly dismiss me as another typical malay girl. Of course I was offended. The way I dress don't define me. I never describe myself as typical and we English lit majors always pride ourselves of being non-typical. To us typical is a swear word.

I've grown up though.

Old prejudices slowly disintegrating.

New comprehensions dawning.

It's cool. I guess the best things out of this are new friends. Being with new people. Learning, knowing and understanding new things. It's nice to give each other a chance.

So goodbye prejudice... hope you never come back.

Full Speed Ahead!!

Somehow I managed to get myself involved in theater stuff again. As if I havent had enough on my plate already. I'm holding two jobs, supposed to be doing my thesis and now I have to take care of a group of international students who are gonna act in a musical play (of all things!) at Istana Budaya. Not only that, the same play also wants me to act! (but as an extra only lorr...) I seriously don't know what have I gotten myself into!

My body has been screaming that I've been going at warp speed lately and today it refused to cooperate with me. So what did I do the whole day? Sleeping. God... what an embarassment. Yeap, I slept the whole day. Sorry Dr F. (Yeah... I kinda promised her that I'd do something for her but unfortunately I couldn't wake up at all this morning). Guess she wont be asking me any more favours after this. Hate letting people down.

I think I even got Sarah all worried. She thinks I'm pissed at her for something which I totally am not. God... I think I'm a workaholic. Or an aspiring one. I'll probably have zero social life when I actually have a permanent job. God... I hope not.

My body still refuses to cooperate with me. So I guess I better take this as a sign and lock myself in my room and start doing my proposal (OMG deadline is so close!!). All that other work can wait... I guess *biting nails*.

Rape

Wanna talk about having a crappy day? Don't... coz right now I wanna rant about a crappy week. A week of crappiness that surpasses all other crappy weeks of crappiness. I'm facing crap and I feel like crap and right now all I wanna do is beat the crap out of a person who gave my friend, whom I truly love and cherish, a whole load of crap.

My friend was raped.

MY FRIEND WAS RAPED!!!

If there was ever a time for me to truly hate men, this would definitely be it. Only a man can ever truly inflict this kind of pain to another human being. HOW CAN YOU RAPE PEOPLE!!?? HOW CAN YOU VIOLATE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING!!??

All I feel is anger. And helplessness. I can't do anything. I feel useless.I can't help her.

You know when they say that sometimes when something truly bad happens... it changes a person. Thats what happened. I have changed... But most importantly she has changed... I no longer her old self. She is right now a shell of the person that she used to be. I hate that man for making her like this. I hate him with with the very core of my being. And I swear that someday I shall bring him down.

I SWEAR IT!!

"Hell hath no wrath than a woman scorned..."

Cruelty to Animals

What kind of people would do this to animals?

DON'T BUY FUR!! STOP CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!!

N O means NO, Not YES

Which part of N and O spells out YES. Seriously... how dense can people get?!

Why is it with men and hard-to-get women? It's like a magnet reaction where men just can't resist. The attraction to hard-to-get women is so strong sometimes that even when women are not actually playing hard-to-get men can't seem to pull away. Seriously!*frustrated*

Trust me when I say that when most women say "I'm not in the mood" they really mean it. Therefore don't call, don't ask, beg, plead or sulk and just walk away. Coz when you do it'll be the smartest thing you'll ever do. If not women will get annoyed and when they are... Well let's just say it won't be pretty.

And you'll probably save yourself a whole lotta grace in front of the girl by not appearing weak either and on top of that actually comes off as understanding. Now ain't that a plus point for all you men out there. I mean we women do complain that men don't understand us. So even if you don't understand why we're not in the mood, just walk away and pretend that you do.

So I repeat my previous statement... sometimes a NO actually means NO. Figure out the subtle language of women and you'll be a better man for it.

twosomes... threesomes

Was watching Sex and the City and I was totally intrigued by an episode where Samantha agreed to do a threesome with her boyfriend. Seriously I totally do not get the appeal of threesomes. I mean... in a world where its the survival of the fittest, prettiest, sexiest and most sexually active (...est) why would you invite a rival to get into bed with you?

Yeah I know its like guy's ultimate fantasy to have 2,3 or more girls to service him in bed and honestly there's nothing wrong fantasizing that. What would the world be like if you question a man's fantasy. It's healthy... at least if all else fails it keeps the blood pumping to a man's brains.

But right now I'm just questioning the girls's motive in letting a man do that. As much as a sexual prowess a woman can be there will always be that chance where the guy might just prefer the other women. Now would you woman actually wanna see that? Straight on... in bed... while you're having sex? No way, jose!

If my man ever shows that he prefers another woman while he's in bed with me, I assure you claws will come out. And no... I will not indulge in another of man's fantasy by having a girl-on-girl catfight to see who will have sex with the guy. It's the man that'll have to answer.

Call me old fashioned, conservative, prude or whatever I just don't get the idea of anything more than a twosome. I mean God only made one penis per man and one vagina per woman. Surely that must count for something.

Idiots!!

Some of you people have nothing better to do is it other than clogging up my tagbox? Haiyaa...

Even if you do plan to clog up my tagbox try to have some respect towards others and not use my friends' names to play your idiotic pranks.

To Syima, Sarah And all the others that have been wrongly maligned in my tagbox... I'm truly sorry. These a**holes probably had a brain transplant with monkeys.

I'm really sorry girls...

Langkawi!

Langkawi was a blast! Minus the fact that it was tiring at times and that I had to play nanny to 63 international university students, the whole trip was a definite blast!

And I should also mention the guys... *drool* I never knew that UIA had all these drool-worthy men hidden away in its depth. So tall... good looking. And they actually went swimming at the beach... *drooling profusely* There's even a guy from China who could definitely give Jet Li a run for his showbiz money. He gave a demonstration during the closing ceremony and trust me he is even more flexible than a rubber band. (I think my inner gatal-ness is surfacing ;P) And they were all gentlemen too. How could a girl resist them?!! I am so glad that I started working with IIMU *silent grateful prayer to God*.

Ooh... Ooh... I also went parasailing!! Woohoo!! It may be pricey considering I was up in the air for only 10 minutes but it was totally worth it. I was flying!! Total adrenaline rush! I'm definitely going again! Made me quite popular with the guys too since nobody else tried it. Huhu!

Seriously... someday I shall make that list of things to do before I die. There's like a million things I wanna try but I never truly know what they are exactly until they're right in front of my eyes. One thing I know for sure is that bungee jumping is on the list. Woohoo!! Oh and going totally blond. Haha! I just need to see how I look like with yellow hair.

If you guys plan to go to Langkawi someday, I seriously recommend staying at Kg. Tok Senik Resort. The room was fantastic. Total kampung atmosphere and the internationals absolutely loved it. Heck... I loved it. My only gripe was that it wasn't close enough to the beach. But this was remedied by the 1 hour we spent at the beach later *drooling again*.

I also didn't manage to find my fave choccies. *sigh* Was really hoping that I could get some good chocolate shopping while I was there but its cool. Maybe next time. I totally can't wait to start planning for the next programme.

The Good Fairy...

A married couple in their early 60's was out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, "For being such an examplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish."

"Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband" said the wife." The fairy waved her magic wand and -- pouf! -- two tickets for the Queen Mary II luxury liner appeared in her hands.

Then it was the husband's turn. He thought for a moment and said:

"Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me. " The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish... So the fairy waved her magic wand and -- pouf! -- the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of the story: Men who are ungrateful idiots should remember fairies are female.

My so-called birthday bash...

It seems that ever since most of the gang have started working, we all need an excuse to get together. No... actually, I take that back. We need an organizer. No... not the diary/ planner. A true-blue party cum get together organizer. And guess who was nominated? That's rite... poor ole' me. *sigh* Just a slight side effect of being too organised I guess. Seriously when I die I'm gonna have my tombstone read "Here lies Shan, Forever the Organiser".

But yeah... I kinda organised this get together. It was kinda supposed to be a joint birthday celebration for both Sheena and I but Sheena pulled out. Oh well... more attention on me ;)



We had it at San Francisco's again. The obvious choice since poor ole' me don't have a car. I really can't wait to get a real job!! Trust me when I'm loaded I'm gonna go GRAND for my birthday.


All in all it was a good night. As you can see the theme was red (my fave colour) so everybody looked pretty hot. Even the guys. Though I wished that some of my other close friends were there but I'm happy for all those who came. They were the best. Shall love you all always!




I just wonder who's gonna be brave enough to organise the next get together? I already have people clogging up my comment boxes in friendster to organise the next one. Penat la wei nak organise... Somebody else buat la pulak!
