Another year older, another year harder

Dear diary,

I’d been missing in action, but I’m not gonna abandon you.
Birthday had passed and I got lots to express. But I am freaking busy these days.
Come back very soon during the weekend and let’s see what happened over this year. 

 

 

 

Coldplay-viva la vida

I love Coldplay ever since i heard their “Yellow” back in Uni time….
Viva la Vida is a Spanish phrase meaning ‘love live life’.
With Chris Martin as the lead singer, ColdPlay is always a great live band and this song is just amazing..
So here we go with the video and lyric..

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

(chorus)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Thirst quencher

Sunday was sunny and burning hot. I was frying cucur adabi in the kitchen at 3pm. Gazing through the grille and I daydreaming, and I imagining I could faint off if I were standing right beneath the sun for like 30 mins. How nice if i have that Ice Kacang machine at home, so i can make a scrumptious bowl of ice kacang, to survive in this hot weather… All of a sudden, something freezy came across my mind…

Me: dear, do you still remember you are going to bring me for that yao-yao-bing today?

(The always full house yao-yao-bing in pandamaran which recommended in HoChiak)

Ts: Let’s go now before the sunset! why you didn’t say earlier?

Me: How about the cucur here? I just finished frying with the first round!

Ts: Just leave it there, keep for dinner…

(so I take purse close door jump into the car, everything less than 5 mins)

Me: Do you really know the way or you agak-agak only?

Ts: I memorize the formula which my friend told me. My friend said after Andalas, take the right turn at the traffic light. Go straight, take the left turn at the third traffic light. The shop is on the left, just right opposite Pandamaran Primary school…

Me: We actually go all the way and how about if we couldn’t find the shop?

Ts: If we couldn’t find i will replace you with a Slurpee..

Me: O.O|||…I don’t want Slurpee…!

And the outcome:
Good: Luckily we found the place. As expected, there was a crowd queuing. They sell fried chicken as well.

Bad: Nearly went out of stock. They left with the lychee flavor only, normally they will have flavors of redbean, buburchacha, sour plum, etc and I forgot to take any picture. Anyway, should come early in the noon next time.

A little update

Working life is getting hectic and busier lately. Colleague and me were in the mid of segregating some jobs and I have to handle her’s, which is bulky, and it seems that I’d been long lost from the msn chatting room and on the contrary glued to the chair trying to comprehend and organize every Tom, Dick and Harry. Although so, I’m learning, and I’m lovin’ it.

Next, the tv stand is on it’s way to my house anytime from now! I had found the appropriate tv stand for the living room in one of the furniture and home deco store around my place. The tv stand is far more nicer and have higher quality compare to what i’d seen in Ikea store few weeks back. It is 6 fit in width, built-in ambience lighting system which i don’t think will make use of it, and of course white in color, covered with tempered glass on the top and both sides too, in fact, it’s love at first sight. The seller voluntarily shares some of his creative thoughts with me and perhaps I can consult him with my ideas in the future.

What’s more, year end school holidays are around the corner. Mom and ahBi are coming over my place to stay probably for few days or so, at the same time attend dad’s company annual dinner. From now I can imagine lotsa shopping over the weekend, and probably i will want to watch Madagascar at that time…most importantly, i can have some time to unwind and cheer up the dull life. 

Camino del éxito

Not that I am ineffective,

I am just not used to it in a sudden.

Nevertheless, I will pick up like a bullet train.

And turn out to be excellent.

Thousand thankful for da encouragement and cooperation!

I am so fine.

Trabajando muy fuerte ! Camino del éxito!

Gambateh-yo!

It’s all about politics

You ask why I do not have any self-defense when I am injured?
I wanted to say I wouldn’t have hurt if I were born and taught like this.

You ask why I do not learn to play the tactical game when I got bullied?
I wanted to say because I do not know the skills of pinch and punch and kick…
If only i know so…
I want to do the best always,
but I hold back indeed because people want to see the failure side of me…
And I failed for them. And people happy. 
And we see the word P-E-A-C-E. 
Show No Mercy!

I knew it is part of the culture especially dealing with the society.
But I would rather it went trouble free. But it doesn’t.
And so, you pictured it out and you brainwashed me. 
I am thinking should I master it or giving up the best of me…
I love to do so, 
But I wouldn’t want to play the dirty hand games that you mean,
Because that’s not me.
I thought I am ethical, 
But, in reality, I am the most foolish. 

What’s more,
Everyday I’m telling you the story,
And all I want is just a little bit of your shoulder please,
And of course I still like and need you brainwash me,
Show no mercy,
And that’s the end of the story.

Life has its Ups and Downs

Life is kinda’ boring. Pretty less activities running lately and there isn’t any special occasions to be fun with, not in the correct time and place, just not in the mood for anything…I’d been slacking.

Everyday seems to be the same. Working life is kinda’ boring especially when things didn’t turned out smoothly. Hate to mention about it. Plus the everyday routine: wake up – go to work – in the office – checking emails – hardworking meanwhile msn’ing – lunch time – after lunch syndrome – call off – dinner time – watch Fated To Love You – resting – sleep – nightmares – wake up and here comes another day. Aren’t we brought up and taught with such sickening practice huh…

The globe just keeps on spinning, everyone just keep on moving ahead and my routine keep repeating as mundane as it is. The current economy downturn, the stock market plummets 1000 points, the instability of the oil and food prices, the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers..much more… Beckham will soon join AC Milan, or the States having its first African-American as the president..what the hell all these do not relate or have any impact to me. Life without an aim or any proper direction is such a waste of a life. 

But, well…I like Barack Obama to be elected of course, for his sincerity to the nation and i believe in his policies certainly will bring a change. He deserved the votes.

I am nagging and complaining and making some fuss over the blog because I’m bored. I started to like this personal place because I can write anything under the sun without thinking much. The freedom to shout out personal thingy loud in blog. *winks*

If we don’t buy Toto or 4D, how are we going to strike the lottery?
Same goes for when the life going down hill, shouldn’t sit back and wait for the fortune to flow in or the life saviour to appear right in front the eyes.
The globe will not stay static even a second for you.
Stand up, search for it, experience, and live the life for our own.
Live life to the fullest — is not just a saying, it involves actions! 

There is a quote from Mark Twain: 
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

This boy is getting cutier in Fated To Love You, the highest rated Taiwanese drama 2008 compare to the first time i watched him in Hanakimi acting as an opponent, Quan’s rival…and maybe..that’s y…

Standing at the height of 186cm, he’s born to be in front of the camera! He possess the expressions that caught all the girls’ sight and the smiles that certainly melted all the girls’ heart. Apparently he is one of the hottest in the industry and surely we will get to see more of him in the days to come.

Does this sounds familiar?

“I love the mountains, I love the clear blue sky
I love big bridges, I love when great whites fly
I love the whole world, and all it’s sights and sounds
Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada
I love the ocean, I love real dirty things
I love to go fast, I love Egytian Kings
I love the whole world and all it’s craziness
Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada
I love tornadoes, I love arachnids
I love big magma, I love the giant squids,
I love the whole world, it’s such a brilliant place
Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada, Boomdeyada…”

Does this sounds familiar to you?
And yes, this song doesn’t own a name and everyone call it Boomdeyada.

This is a song originally taken from an old campfire song titled “I love daffodils”.
It’s such a catchy commercial video showing on Discovery channel and we tend to sing along with it!
Today the world is in a pretty chaotic state and this pleasurable song kindly remind us that there always be something in this world for us to love.
Every little care, every tiny idea, every action will take count and although these make a small hope and beginning hence that’s all it takes to make the world a better place to live.

I love this song.
