i'm looking for the episodes transcript, or at least the summary, for the jDorama "Lunch no Joou" [translates : Queen of Lunchtime Cuisine] in the net. But, I didn't manage to find any.
It's currently being showed over TV3 at 6pm weekends. I started watching from their 5th episodes, and missed some in between. Next week it'll be the 9th episodes, but I can't stand not knowing what will happen next.
I shall look for the cd lah!
The drama's casts includes Takeuchi Yuko, Eguchi Yosuke and Tsumabuki Satoshi.

was having my nails done (a la french) when the topic suddenly came to our focus.
but before this, i've first heard about it through Queer Eyes.
what is it i'm talking about?
'speed dating', my dear...
what is it all about? how does it work? like this.
and to my surprise, we also have it here, in KL. Click-together.com, as it is called, was co-founded by Yinnie, a Chinese Malaysian and Arno, a Dutch National, after realising that the number of singles in Malaysia are increasing (i think it applies to the whole world, don't you think?). There are several sessions held in KL, Penang, JB. Heck! Why not read it yourself. Or you'd rather read 2sen's experience on it instead?
yes, the idea of having a series of 10minutes dates (with single guys - that's what they say!) in one night is actually exciting. But, what if some of the guys you have to spend 10 minutes talking to is actually e.g. bald, old and fat? (yeah, I'm that shallow!) Or worst, he could be a low-IQ-with-a-very-jinjang-sense-of-style-think-he's-more-handsome-than-brad-pitt guy...
tini said she wouldn't mind the bald-old-fat, as long as that guy's a millionaire or at least with a stock of money that'll last her entire lifetime... (yeah, we're two shallow people!). her reason was that, at least, if they're end up married, she'd be financially stable (read : have money to shop til we drop). ok, i can see where she's going with that. but what about when it comes to 'sharing the bed'? her reply was simply, 'just close your eyes lah!'... err.... ooo-kaaayy...
i'm getting goosebumps thinking of it... hehehe...

Lose My Breath
by Destiny's Child
Hit me!
[chorus]
Can you keep up
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my ah, ah
Can you keep up
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath
Ooh, I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
Now you wanna act like you don't know what to do
After I done, done everything that you asked me
Grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
Moved so fast, baby, now I can't find you
Ooh, I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you
All that talk but it seems like you can't come through
all them lines, like you could satisfy me
Now I see where believing you got me
Gave you the wheel but you can't drive me
[chorus]
Can you keep up
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my ah, ah
Can you keep up
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath
Ooh, two things I don't like when I'm tryn'a get my groove
Is a partner that meets me only halfway and just can't prove
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim
Need a lifeguard and I need protection
To put it on me deep in the right direction
Ooh, you understand the facts that I'm tryn'a get to you
You movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue
Didn't Mama teach you to give affection
Learn the difference from a man and an adolescent
It ain't you boo, so get to steppin'
[chorus]
Can you keep up
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my ah, ah
Can you keep up
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath
If you can't make me say, 'ooh'
Like the beat of this drum
Why you ask for some
You ain't really want none
If you can't make me say, 'ooh'
Like the beat of this groove
You don't have no business in this
Here's your papers, baby you are dismissed [echos]
[chorus]
Can you keep up
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my ah, ah

My journey: from the village to exile
Eddy L Suheri
Panga is a small village in West Aceh surrounded by mountains and wild forest. At night, you can hear clearly the waves of the Indian Ocean. This is the village where I was born in 1975, in my grandparents' home.
At that time, there were no modern medical facilities nearby, or even electricity. Most of the villagers were traditional farmers and some worked as small-scale loggers. Electricity arrived in my village only in the 1990s.
A few years after I was born, my family built a house in my father's village in Lamno, a sub-district with a small town in West Aceh, about 150 kilometres from Panga. Lamno is closer to Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh. It is about two hours ride by road, or about 80 kilometers away.
I loved both of these villages so much that when I was in elementary and junior high school, I used to live in both of them. I would live in Panga with my grandparents for one year, and then move to Lamno the next. At that time, the roads in Aceh were very poor and all five rivers in west Aceh had no bridges, so I had to use rafts to cross the river.
I moved to Banda Aceh for my final year of junior high school. It was in Banda Aceh that I first experienced a sense of inequality which I now realise was a result of Indonesia's policies. As a boy from a village, I often felt that I was being treated with disrespect. Most of the people in Banda Aceh felt that they were superior because they were more 'Indonesian' than we were. This was especially true of the children of the military and police.
There was an obvious 'class gap' in Acehnese society in the city. Political power was concentrated in the city and city people were materially better off than those in the villages. Most city people thus felt a certain sense of gratitude towards Indonesia.
Being a journalist
By 1996, I had become a journalist. I witnessed first hand the impact of Suharto and his family's rule. I also saw the military's brutality and arrogance, and its abuses against my homeland and its people. Their repression not only resulted in the deaths of so many Acehnese over the years, but they also destroyed our natural environment. Our forests, and even the Leuser National Park with its unique ecosystem (which is funded by the international community), have been ravaged at the hands of the military and the authorities for the sole purpose of profit-making. These powers are
behind the massive logging in Aceh, especially in the west, south and southwest, where I have seen for myself the scale of the devastation.
From 1998 through 2000, I worked in Jakarta as the correspondent in the Indonesian parliament for an Acehnese newspaper called Aceh Ekspres. At that time, I believed that a federal system of government would be the best option for bringing prosperity and equality to the country. This idea, which was part of the spirit of change and reform that followed the fall of Suharto in May 1998, was supported by many members of the non-Javanese elite.
However, it proved to be unpopular with the Javanese elite because they worried that the end of a centralised system would create difficulties for them, especially given Java's depleting resources and overpopulation. Hence, the Javanese political elite mobilised ultranationalist sentiments to defend Indonesia's centralised 'unitary state.' That was the end of the federal solution.
It was for this reason that I disagreed with Acehnese members of Indonesia's national parliament, like Ahmad Farhan Hamid and Saiful Ahmad. Within a couple of hours of Abdurrahman Wahid being elected president in 1999, they began to discuss a proposal for a law offering 'special autonomy' for Aceh. They were certain that the government would approve their proposal. Their idea was that Indonesia would only be responsible for external defence, monetary and foreign policy; everything else would be left to the government of Aceh.
As I had predicted, however, Indonesia only accommodated about 20 per cent of the original proposal when the special autonomy law was eventually passed in 2001. Most of the ideas that would have made Aceh truly autonomous were left out.
I went back to Aceh at the end of 2000 to publish Seulawah, an independent newspaper which incorporated Acehnese culture in its content. My aim was to popularise a form of 'cultural journalism' that was typically Acehnese, as opposed to the mainstream newspapers which influenced people with Javanese culture and used a style of Indonesian language that contained a lot of Javanese words.
I was inspired by Suara Timor Timur, a newspaper in East Timor, which had succeeded in bringing independent news to its homeland during the conflict there. Unfortunately, unlike our East Timorese counterparts, we did not have a 'security net' like that provided by the church. Nor did we have much international support for our cause, or the financial strength to continue. Sadly, that project folded after only a couple of months.
Pressure from the military also began to take its toll on me. When I was working for Aceh Ekspres, the military chief in Banda Aceh would call me into his office when I went back home. He warned me against writing articles which the military considered to be too 'critical'.
I felt that it was too risky to continue working as a journalist under such conditions. The reason I left Aceh, however, was not because I wanted to avoid trouble with the military. It was because I felt that press freedom in Aceh had died after the military took control. I believed that the only way to present my ideas about Aceh independently was by developing alternative media from the outside.
Exile in Malaysia
I spent two and a half years in Malaysia while waiting to be resettled in the US. But there is no real refuge for Acehnese in Malaysia. In the past, several bloody incidents involving Acehnese refugees have taken place. In one, a riot in the Semenyih detention camp in 1997, many refugees died after they protested against maltreatment.
I was arrested and sent to jail twice in Malaysia. The first time was because the police suspected me of being a member of GAM (Free Aceh Movement). The second time was for simply being a refugee. My refugee status, although granted by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, was not recognised by the Malaysian government.
Despite all the difficulties I had to face in Malaysia, I managed to publish a bulletin called Acheh Report which was widely circulated among the Acehnese community there. Through the Acheh Independent Refugees Service (AIRES), which I co-founded with a few friends in Kuala Lumpur, I helped to organise and assist Acehnese refugees.
Living in the USA
I was finally resettled to the US in August 2003. I felt that I had found my freedom once again. After four months living in Houston, Texas, I decided to move to New York City. It has not been easy trying to settle down here. Applying for jobs requires job experience in the US. Trying to rent an apartment requires a credit history in the US. Building a credit history, in turn, requires a credit card. But to get a credit card we need to prove that we have an address, which we cannot get without a credit history. Some of the administrative problems that I have to face here seem pretty ridiculous.
In the US, and in New York City in particular, I have again had to deal with forms of discrimination. The funny thing is that I find discriminatory behaviour most widespread among immigrants, especially those who have recently become American citizens and now work in the public service. Sometimes their treatment of non-citizen immigrants is impolite and unfair. I find this attitude difficult to understand. Maybe it is because they think that we do not understand our rights so they can do whatever they want to us.
It has not all been a negative experience, though. I am particularly grateful because I now have the opportunity to further my studies. It is not a problem for me that I have to start college all over again. I am now working towards a degree in Media Studies and hope to return to journalism after I graduate. I also hope that when my command of English improves, I will be able to continue campaigning for the Acehnese cause at a more meaningful level.
With some Acehnese friends in the northern US, I help to publish a tri-lingual bulletin called The Achehnese. The circulation is limited to the Acehnese community and others in our network. Perhaps in the future we will have a website and other media which can help us report what is happening in Aceh to the international community.
I hope more Acehnese activists will come and stay in New York City, so that more work can be done here to build an organisation that can help publicise our cause. The global situation today, especially the 'War on Terror', has not really helped us gain international support for peace and justice in Aceh. However, I firmly believe that the opportunity is always there as long as we are willing to struggle.
Eddy L Suheri is an Acehnese journalist living in New York.

...it was Friday!
So, "what's up with that?" you might ask.
Yours sincerely absent-minded-me once again forgotten that it was Saturday, instead of Friday, and YES, i came to work that day!
I only realised that it was Saturday, after I have checked that both the gates of the main entrances are C-L-O-S-E-D!
ps: And, damn! that day i made it to the office early too!

i've not been going to my jazzercise class since monday. so did Tini. we're not feeling very well.
I have my reason, which I don't think I want to disclose here, while tini is having measles. yes, people... measles!
me, cikli and tini, herself didn't see that coming.
who would've thought...
so, when i sms'ed her last monday, she told me she's off work for the entire week. how nice is that? but, the thing is, people with the likes of measles or chicken pox couldn't go outside i.e. for shopping, could they?
and since tini's having measles, cikli is in ipoh, and jean (???) somewhere, i don't feel like going anywhere. not even my jazzercise class.
tini's just got her measles, while i have finished with mine.
i'm talking about my ex-manager. yeup! I'm no longer reporting to that manager. well, just in terms of applying for leaves, assessing my performance... admin stuff lah... but, since i'm still to support the system i'm currently supporting, i'd still have to go to her to discuss things. because those systems are under her supervision. don't matter. i'm happy... coz i'll hear less "in the future..." or "next time..." or "i've tolerated with you long enough..." blablabla... just writing them down makes me loathe (very strong word) her! LOL!
so, on that note, i have come up with one resolution for this year (i'll make em as i go along. there's no rule saying u can't, is there?) - not to f**k up with my admin-related-matters manager.
Free As A Bird
by Beatles
Free as a bird,
it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.
Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.

AN ENTRY I WROTE ON MY NOTEBOOK AS I WAS WATCHING THE JUARA LAGU (jl) COMPETITION ON THE TELE LAST NIGHT...
**********
i'm sitting here watching juara lagu 2004 waiting for sarimah, najip and cheryl to announce the winners...
first up, the best vocal category ... misha omar WITH Pulangkan
next, best performance ... noraniza idris (with her Javanese dance - DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TITLE OF HER SONG IS)
and then, on ethnic creative ... dayang norfaizah erti kehidupan written by afdlin, pacai (I think that's what his name is) (totally hoped for!)
on the ballad category ... again, misha omar with pulangkan
najib was about to announce the whole JL19 winner, when Cheryl reminded him that there's another category to be announced. the pop rock. and winner... 'Relaku Pujuk' performed by spider written by tam and keon.
and finally the JL19 winner. written by tam, keon. it's spider "Relaku Pujuk"!!!
YES!!YES!!!
they actually performed well. i was hoping for them to win! the only band in the final and they won!
yes, it was unexpected. as keon himself said, to win the pop rock category it was no doubt, but to win the whole JL itself, it really is a bonus!
tam's voice performing live was perfect. he didn't falter anywhere.
the band as a whole was steady in their performance.
they totally depended on their skills and talent. no background singer, no dancers to interprete their song or to entertain the audience.
perhaps they asked for tips from their sifu, heh?
nah! it was totally them!!!
RELAKU PUJUK
by Spider
kukejar byg2 resah
bila hatimu masih tak berubah
enggan dipunya dan dipenjara
belaian cintaku ini
aku bukan lelaki yg tewas
bisa menyambar walau ku ditolak
biar di uji kanan dan kiri
kau kan tetap ku miliki
tiada lafaz yg lebih agung
kalimah cintamu yg ku tunggu2
biar jasad ku yg menanggung
permainan dari mu
relaku pujuk
jgnlah kau salahkan aku
terus memburu menawan cintamu
aku percaya sedikit masa
kau kecundang akhirnya
usahlah kau bersedih
dihadapanmu aku hadir
memadam resah dan curiga dari hatimu
apakah kali ini bisa kau tolak dan berlari
setelah aku menanamkan azimatku
tiada lafaz yg lebih agung
kalimah cintamu yg ku tunggu2
biar jasad ku yg menanggung
permainan darimu relaku pujuk

Or rather which Mr. Darcy? 
Helen Fielding Bridget Jone's Mark Darcy or Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy?
"Fielding's novel is a modern rendition of the Jane Austen classic... Firth remarks: "Helen makes no secret of the fact that she has a crush on Mr. Darcy"...There are a multitude of similarities between "Bridget Jones' Diary" and "Pride and Prejudice," and not only in the storylines of the two... In addition to Firth's presence in the movie, the film also features a number of veterans of Jane Austen costume dramas. Hugh Grant and Gemma Jones of "Sense and Sensibility", Embeth Davidtz ("Mansfield Park") and Crispin Bonham-Carter (Mr. Bingley in "Pride and Prejudice") also make noteable appearances...Of Mark Darcy, Firth remarks that like Mr. Darcy, he is a man of surprises: "The discovery we make is that this pompous individual ends up having a generous and entirely sincere side. That's what warms the cockles of our hearts. Darcy takes himself very seriously and therefore like anyone else who takes himself very seriously, is full of comic potential."..."

Professing love is no easy matter...
Mr Darcy professing his love to Elizabeth in Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice
"I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle. As a child I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. Such I was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You shewed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.''
Mark Darcy to Bridget in Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones Diary
"I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother's pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever's in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences... But the thing is, um, what I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are."
Mr Right...
but no matter which you chose, both are played by none other than Colin Firth in the two novel-adapted-to-screen shows. And not to mention that they're both (characters) are definitely romantic and the dream-man every girl in this world ever wished for!!!
"...The result is wonderful; Firth again creates a character who is destined to become the heartthrob for women everywhere. And, much to Firth's dismay, this role will likely reinforce his name as being synonymous with "Darcy": "I found it intriguing that this thing seemed to be reflecting back on itself. I was aware of it when making the decision and thinking, 'Is this going to make things worse?' If the film's a success, then I'll be back in it again... Yes, I've thought about that. If it makes me more of a household name than Darcy did, then I don't know how I'll deal with it. But it might just go away." 10 Anyone who has seen the movie is likely to disagree...What was so special about Mr. Darcy? Women loved him. For a great part of the BBC's version in the story, he hung around in the background, not saying much...Other characters talked a great deal about him while he was absent. Unlike a lot of male heroes, he was a mystery. He was in no way a feminised wimp. Late in the day, burning with passion and unfulfilled sexual desire, he jumped off his horse into a pond and emerged, his shirt dripping... For the entire Bridget Jones generation, this was a superb antidote to the dull, whining, noncommittal New Man of the 90s -- and he didn't drink lager and go on about football all the time."

"Mr Darcy, the dashing hero of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, has topped a survey of fictional characters women would most like to go on a date with...The character - played by Colin Firth in a hit BBC adaptation - appealed most to women in their 20s and 50s, said the survey by Book Marketing Limited...Another survey found Mr Darcy was top of a guest list for a fictional dinner party.

i love that scene when mark and bridget were of to work the morningafter refer picture. It was few seconds after walking their separate ways, as bridget was typing "i missed you already" on her hp to be sent to mark, he was already standing behind her and said "I miss you too!" awe.... how sweet! (me a sucker for being hopelessly romantic! hihihi...)
On Bridget Jones : Edge Of Reason
Wonderful, wonderful story!!! Makes you laugh hard, cry harder, and touch the very existing of your (romantic) soul!!! GO WATCH!!!! [Rating : 10 out of 10 - Especially if you're into chic flick!!! Bare in mind : I haven't watch the first movie to this sequel...]
ps: "Bridget: It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces"
pss: "Bridget: I truly believe that hapiness is possible even when you're 33 and have a bottom the size of two bowling balls."

And you promise me faithfully
That you will be my only man
Yeah, are you diggin on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm diggin' on you now, baby
Yeah, do you wanna little bit of my love
Yeah, wait a minute, wait for me little baby
In the presence of all my friends
You stood there holding my hand
And you promise me faithfully
That you will be my only man
Yeah, are you diggin' on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, do you wanna little bit of my love
Yeah, wait a minute, your love is super, oh baby

Your love is
Your love is super
Are you diggin' on me
Cause I'm diggin' on you
I'm just trying to tell you
Oh, this love is super duper
Wait a minute

i was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and the dj asked an interesting question (interesting enough as i coincidently asked the same question to my colleagues yesterday during the blackout - apparently someone told us the water pump for the office didn't work either!).
"Which is more important? Having electricity or having water?"
Personally, i'd rather answer "WATER".
Although both is necessity, I think water is more crucial because we need water to survive. Ever heard of the tsunami victim, who survived under the rubbles of the collapsed building for several days before being rescued, simply by drinking the water around him? Think!
Electricity... so-so. Maybe for several days I'd find myself restless for not being able to :-
- watch my favorite shows on tv, Or
- listen to my favorite songs on radio, Or
- go to ciname to watch the latest movie etc
after several days or a month, i think i could live without it.
but living without water? thinking about it already makes me feel dehydrated! i need a drink.
ps: as if she saw me typing this blog, my colleague walked pass me repeating the same thing (as in paragraph 1) to me, and said "i think the most important thing is generator". I laughed. But descreetly, i'm actually scrathing my head...
pss: it's soo fortunate for those people whose office's elevators didn't work yesterday i.e. in KLCC. They get to go home early. And that is good for us too, coz the roads were clear by the time we got out from work!
note to cik li :
is it because you're staying over there that you heard about the news late? no pun intended! not to brag or anything but i heard it on saturday (while waiting for tini to get her baju from the tailor) on the radio and i literally screamed out "YESSS!!!". Lucky i was alone in the car!!! LOL!
I never did like Jennifer Aniston anyway! At least the idea of her married to Brad, my brad! heheheh... *wink!* Don't even care if they said that they're the cutest couple, or the powerhouse couple. OK, fine, so they're (were) in love... What-eva!!! Didn't they learn science in school? About how the same magnets pole when directed towards each other, it would expel each other? huh! Now that he's back in the market, i'm wondering who's next to grab him into her bed? Could it be his recent co-star??? *hint!* *hint!* Now, she, I like! Well, minus her extreme facinations of knife and blood and tatoo! I'm too emotional about this, aren't i? heheheh....
After All
(this is my favorite song!!! been trying to find the mp3, and now i have it!)
by Peter Cetera and Cher
Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
After All the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After All that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, After All
When love is truly right
(This time it's truly right)
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
Oh, and on the way it grows
But it never disappears
After All the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After All that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, After All
Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
After All, what else is livin' for?
After All the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After All that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, After All

wonder why we didn't have electricity from 12.30 until 3.30 this evening?
Read this or this from the Star online.
Also from berita harian.
the perk of not having electricity is that you don't have to do any work because you can't power up your Desktop. The drawback of it is that you can't surf the net or listen to music.

It's Getting Dark In Here
by Elton John
It's getting dark in here
Don't want to leave
Shadow's falling
And I believe
Winds picking up
Thing's so unclear
I'm afraid of my shadow
And it's getting dark in here
I'm scared of strangers
On the street
World's so ugly
I can't breath
Moon's so spooky
I'm close to tears
I've lost it all
And it's getting dark in here
And the wait isn't worth what I'm getting
Sometimes I feel I'm on fire
I've been handed a curse and a blessing
My life's been stripped down to the wire
And I'm trying to get back and hold on
Find someone somewhere who cares
But the sun's always setting on my life
And it's sure getting dark in here
Don't talk about angels
Or how I'll be saved
I'm no coward
But I'm not that brave
Rags are blowing
Rain's getting near
I'm done with running
And it's getting dark in here
And the wait isn't worth what I'm getting
Sometimes I feel I'm on fire
I've been handed a curse and a blessing
My life's been stripped down to the wire
And I'm trying to get back and hold on
Find someone somewhere who cares
But the sun's always setting on my life
And it's sure getting dark in here
And the wait isn't worth what I'm getting
Sometimes I feel I'm on fire
I've been handed a curse and a blessing
My life's been stripped down to the wire
And I'm trying to get back and hold on
Find someone somewhere who cares
But the sun's always setting on my life
And it's sure getting dark in here
Yeah, the sun's always setting on my life
And it's sure getting dark in here

...for what you've decided!"
man! does having pets cost a lot or what!?!
after several follow-up treatments at the vet, on saturday i sent Pudding back again. the vet decided that it would be best to stitch the wound wherever possible to reduce its size. so, i thought, ok! meaning the smaller the wound = the less time i'd have to come to the vet = the less money i'd have to spend. right?
wrong!
as i stand by the counter to make the necessary payments, the nurse instructed me on when to feed the medicine to the cat and then *BAAMM!!!* that's when it happened! that's when she told me the price of the surgery! a WHOPPING rm634!!!
and that's when i had my first OUT-OF-THE-BODY experienced. for 2 seconds or so lah! i thought i was dreaming! really! tak tipu!
not sure if the clerk saw the change of expression (more like draining out of blood) on my face!
lucky (or rather, unlucky) i have credit card to make payment. otherwise, i might have shot out of the hospital like Flash Gordon!
sigh...
gimme a minute. i think i want to check my citibank account and see how much i've spent on pudding so far...
[2 minutes later]
so, here's what i've got... arranged according to latest payment
Date Description Debits
12-01 ANIMAL MED CTR K LUMPUR MY RM 634.00
08-01 ANIMAL MED CTR K LUMPUR MY RM 150.00
30-12 ANIMAL MED CTR K LUMPUR MY RM 57.00
28-12 ANIMAL MED CTR K LUMPUR MY RM 230.00
23-12 ANIMAL MED CTR K LUMPUR MY RM 300.00
and the grand total is... *drumroll*... rm1371.00
*strangled!* *choking!* CAN'T...BREATHE! *dying!*
ok, ok.. so u can say "might as well spend that amount of money on a brand new handphone!" which i know i need badly right now, but the satisfaction (or at the time of payment - regrets! heheheh) is not the same!
For those of you out there thinking of taking a ("a" could also refer to "a pair", "a group" or "a school") pet, be forewarned that the costs (not just in terms of $$$, but responsibilities as well) is, as in the word of Siz (ex-MCCian), "WAHLAWEY!"
ps: jean! half-half lah hoh?
pss: i've uploaded more photos on my fotopages
psss: on the 10th... someone else turned older...hehehehh!

Posted on 4:33:00 PM
things i forgot today:
1) my car keys... i left the engine's car on, ran into the house to put Pudding-the cat (i was from the vet) only to find that i've left the key in the car. i thought if i was quick i might have time to go to ampang park to buy me a baju kurung (for galoh's wedding),
2) because of the key-left-in-car incident, i only had time to eat at Setiawangsa's McDs. while i ate, i smsed my friends to fill the time, only to have the staff running after me to hand me my handphone! i left it on the food's tray.
3) LAST AND WORST! I FORGOTTEN THAT TODAY IS CIK TINN'S BITHDAY!!! (thanx to ghek for reminding me) so, cik tin, here's one for you!
and on my way home and back to the office i:-
1) wonder why people give 'f**k' sign to the people they're angry at? the sign, does it mean 'f**k you' or 'f**ker'? if it's the first one, why do you even want to f**k the people you don't like?
2) learned that smiling could melt angry people's heart. my car almost hit another car coz i was too bz looking for a parking lot. the driver was giving me that 'look' but it vanishes after i mouthed 'sorry' and smiled as sincere as my energy could allow me. i'm gonna smile lots after this.
ps: this week has been really hectic for me. my energy's draining out. i'm feel sooo drained out, i don't even have enough to smile... *sigh*
pss: i forgot the letter 'r' in the sentence "I FORGOTTEN THAT TODAY IS CIK TINN'S BITHDAY!!!" above!
psss: menyampahnyerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ngan bos aku!!!!!!!!! (translate : i R-E-A-L-L-Y despise my boss!!!)
That's What Friends Are For
by
Dionne Warwick
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember ...
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember ...
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for!

What's my line? It takes two to tango.
Geminis are widely known for their dual personalities and ability to change mood from moment to moment. Although they hate to be tied down, they make lively, entertaining and romantic partners, even if they can be rather fickle if bored or unhappy.
Natural communicators, Geminis do not suffer fools gladly; so once they are attracted to people, they have to ensure that they are not dull or mundane. They will no doubt spend ages chatting to them about every subject under the sun, just to keep feeding that ever active and inquisitive mind.
The bright side
Bright, witty, adaptable and quick to react. Very little troubles a Gemini or stops the relentless talking for long! Geminis can argue their way into or out of any situation. Having an active curiosity, Gemini is excellant at gathering all kinds of information and gossip. They excel at regurgitating this information in a constant stream, but not necessarily in a logical or understandable order! Geminis are capable of tackling almost anything, so long as they do not become bored. The difficulty lies in what subject to concentrate on today, Gemini is always engaged in two subjects or jobs at once.
Versatile, adaptable, intellectual, witty, charming, logical, energetic, spontaneous, lively, chatty, amusing, youthful, up-to-date.
The dark side
Geminis biggest faults are inconsistency and superficiality. People never know what to expect with Gemini, indeed they can be relied upon to do almost anything, in any situation. All that talking and instant reactions leaves little time for deeper thinking and planning, and too much whizzing about and quick reactions usually leads to sudden mental overload!
changeable, restless, cunning, inquisitive, inconsistent, fickle, two-faced, fidgety, superficial, gossipy, scattered, transparent.
Ailments
accidents (usually small, but frequent), bronchitis, pneumonia, nervous exhaustion.
Beneficial foods
Lettuce and cauliflower.
You are most compatible with
Libra - absolutely wonderful.
Leo - full of laughter.
Aquarius - good friends first, (and much more in this Geminis case!).
Sagittarius - Could be fun loving.
Aries - promising, though lightweight.
Absolutely no chance!
Cancer - steer clear!
Capricorn - don't see eye to eye.
Taurus - a difficult combination.
Pisces - traumatic!
Scorpio - volatile!
Your opposite sign
is Sagittarius
Friendship Compatibility: (I only took the two signs which mosts of my friends are in)
...Capricorn
When Gemini and Capricorn form a friendship, they must work hard to ensure that their energies are geared toward the same purposes, for their individual approaches are as different as night and day. They are inextricably linked, but they don't always realize it. Gemini is out there, talking and interacting, skimming over a thousand different experiences without stopping to breathe. The Goat dislikes risks and prefers a well-thought out plan; once they set their sights on a goal, they are sure to reach it eventually. The challenge for Gemini and Capricorn friends is to get to the same place at the same time.
Capricorn is very unassuming, quiet and more stubborn, while Gemini is more outgoing and flexible. When they become friends, they need to have different and well-defined roles to ensure that they don't cross each other's boundaries. Their philosophies of life are quite different: Gemini is quick and jumps to conclusions, and Capricorn sees the value of doing things the hard way if it ensures success. Once the friends understand each other's style, their methods help them to achieve together what they could not achieve alone.
Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury, and Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn. These Planets can work at cross-purposes, so it's important for Gemini and Capricorn to work through their differences. Saturn perseveres and keeps moving ahead through all kinds of difficulties. Mercury has the energy to take projects forward despite obstacles. Both friends tend to be resolute, and neither gives up easily. If their energies are not channeled in positive ways, together these Planets may signify repressed emotion. Capricorn must be careful not to dampen Gemini's spirit, and Gemini must work to encourage open channels with Capricorn.
Gemini is an Air Sign, and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. Gemini initiates action from theory, while Capricorn is more practical. Capricorn asks, 'what good will this do as I work toward my main goals?' while Gemini simply sees what they want and achieves it for its own sake, without having a set plan in mind. Although each of these friends may find it difficult to understand where the other is coming from, when they come together their complementary approaches become mutually beneficial and exciting.
Gemini is a Mutable Sign, and Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign. Capricorn is the initiator, while Gemini is adaptable. They have such contrasting approaches to life that they get so much more done when they each have a particular, well-defined role. On the surface, Gemini may be the leader rushing to confront a challenge, but the Goat will also be indirectly in charge because they are consistent and determined. It's important for both friends to understand that compromise is the key to their connection.
The best aspect of a Gemini and a Capricorn becoming close is that they each bring their own qualities to the friendship. Once they allow each other to be themselves -- rather than measuring each other against impossible standards -- they can blend well to make a warm, enriching friendship. Theirs is a challenging combination, but if they can learn from each other, it's worth it!
...Gemini
When two Geminis form a friendship, it really is like four people coming together, as Gemini is represented by the dual Sign of the Twins. This friendship will never be boring, and both partners will share an intellectual approach to life. Both will not only allow but also appreciate the freedom and variety of expression characteristic of Gemini. Both enjoy each other's conversation and love to cultivate the art of discussion. Wit and curiosity make them a stunning and stimulating pair of friends, entertaining each other and the people with whom they socialize. If they learn to cooperate, rather than compete, they will enjoy a very happy friendship.
The Twins enjoy each other's playful banter, sarcasm and perhaps even occasionally their ironic cynicism. Problems may arise when shared flippancy makes both friends unwilling or unable to take their connection too seriously. However, it is this same ability to laugh and be lighthearted that is most enjoyable to each of them. It is a good idea for both to try to pay more attention to their feelings, rather than being ruled solely by thoughts and intellect. Both are easily bored with bland people and situations, and one of the strong suits in the friendship is finding the humor and stimulation that both crave in any set of circumstances.
Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury. This pair could talk each other around in circles all night long. Communication comes so easily to them that they would be each other's first choice to share a deserted island or a long road trip. Mercury (or Hermes in Greek mythology) was a specialist in travel as well, thus giving Gemini a love for a variety of subjects, places and ideas. Be warned, two-headed Twins, that the gift of gab could be misinterpreted as gossip. Learning to focus this communicative energy will pay off far greater than a desultory, flippant, authoritative tone on everything.
Gemini is an Air Sign, and thus each friend responds to the world and to one another with reasoning rather than a physical or emotional response. Superior mental abilities and energy behind every undertaking make them a powerful force together. Lust for novelty and short attention spans cause them both to burn out at the same time. Of course, that Gemini creativity will dream up a new scheme a moment later.
Gemini is a Mutable Sign. Flexible, easy-going natures make the four of them a pair of pals. Having mastered the art of compromise, two Mutable signs together will easily make an enlightened duo who rarely feel the stress of conflict. At the rare occurrence of battle, usually due to a discussion gone out of hand, they will quickly realize the insignificance of proving a point or of fighting in general.
The best aspect of the Gemini-Gemini friendship is the enormous amount of intellectual energy and stimulation. Both keep each other from enduring a mundane existence. Together they can entertain the world and accomplish more than either could alone.
PREDICTION FOR 2005
OVERVIEW: As a joint financial matter finally draws to a close in winter, you're finally feeling able to turn your attention toward enjoying life -- and there'll be plenty of opportunities to do just that in February and March. From the 9th through the 15th of January, though, you may need to tie up a few loose ends, but if you can buckle down and do it, you'll reap the rewards of hard work. The full Moon of January 25th will also provide you with the inspiration to keep on going, no matter how hard your work-oriented challenges are -- and to finish up, too! For the rest of the season, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Your friendships and group connections may change during April, or you may be put in charge of a previously recreational situation -- but you'll just love it. Being in charge will come easily to you during May and June as well, and you'll gain new admirers and lots of new friends who can't believe you're not too good to be true.
Abrupt and sudden changes during summer may not seem to be of the long-term variety when they occur, but if you take a step back and look around, you'll realize that you're really at the beginning of a metamorphosis -- and at the end, you'll be glad for each and every event that contributed to making you 'the new you.' The full Moon of August 19th will give you a chance to express yourself in a whole new way, too. Don't let it go by without taking advantage of it.
During fall, once again, your focus will turn to relationships -- and what to do about them. Money that's owed to you may be repaid, however, and a favor you'd long forgotten about will be returned -- further proof that the good we do comes back to us tenfold. You'll also have the chance to make some extra cash and have some fun, too, so if a hobby suddenly turns into a part-time job around the holidays, make time for it.
CAREER: If you can push yourself hard through January, the rest of the winter will be a snap. Close out any pressing financial issues as early as possible -- definitely by the 15th. It won't be the easiest time you've ever had on the job, but the rewards will be worth it. The 25th of January brings a full Moon and eleventh-hour inspiration; you should be able to push the rest of your big deals through by the end of that week at the latest and enjoy a few months of comparative relaxation.
Leadership will be important through the spring. April might bring a transfer -- probably not across the globe, but definitely bringing new responsibilities. It might seem almost silly to be in charge at first, but you'll find that it grows on you as you gain confidence quickly. Those working most closely with you will appreciate your new style.
Change is good, right? If you're down with that, then you'll love the summer. You might be lucky enough to be party to an industry-wide paradigm shift; on the other hand, you might just see yourself take a sharp left turn careerwise and end up somewhere you'd never have expected. July 21st brings a time of radical new ideas -- follow them up diligently and you'll be exactly where you're supposed to be.
Your flair for wit and charm will serve you well in the fall, as you'll need to acquire new contacts and massage old ones to keep ahead of the game. Financial problems will work themselves out as if by magic, and you might find a way to make money from an unexpected source. Someone from your past will contact you in the second week of November, possibly seeking a recommendation or renewed partnership. Follow up on the opportunity and continue working on other alternate revenue sources through the holidays.
LOVE: Your New Year begins with you all over the place in the realm of romance, with the kinds of ups and downs that make other people crazy but actually manage to keep your interest high. Be prepared to make a decision about your love life in mid-January, though; keeping a particular option open is no longer, well, an option. After some brief but informative deep thoughts at the outset of February, you enjoy the many sweet treats the rest of the winter sets out for you with your trademark wit and liveliness.
Mercury goes retrograde for almost a month beginning March 19th, which may bring misunderstandings worthy of a romantic comedy into your life, but with your quick thinking you can turn potential crises into sudden kisses. But you should also look beyond the physical to deeper aspects of people now -- including yourself. You get special access to this new level at the end of March and beginning of April, and your powerful intellect sees how sexy it can be. May and June find you in charge, with your sweetheart or any number of potential ones following along happily.
Matters of the heart require your focus the first weekend of July, rewarding you with the kinds of conversations and flirtations that have you practically falling in love every other minute. You'll enjoy summer's rapid-fire romantic activity, with something new always on the horizon, whether you're single or conducting a raging romance. Even a little oddness in August just adds more color to the overall picture. As for the weekend of August 26th -- well, watch out, world, here you come.
Come autumn, your bewitching variety of talents ensnares you in something that could be serious -- if you let it be. The 10th and 11th of September offer insight to help you decide. It's spooky how sexy you are on Halloween, and the attention you get may even be (almost!) too much for you. But beware of another Mercury retrograde from November 13th to December 3rd -- say what you mean and mean what you say. Then get yourself under the mistletoe the weekend of December 23rd and kiss the year good-bye -- and someone sweet hello.
ps: i don't actually believe in this horoscope, astrology mumbo jumbo. but, it sure is fun to read them! Besides, it would only be "That did happen to me this year!" if you read it the next day/month/quarter/year/century!

"...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."
have u ever thought u have screamed loud enough to be heard but still no one seems to hear it?
i have!
and i hate the feeling!
there u are screaming ur heart out but why aren't they listening?
all those times when they even whisper a single 'uh', you'll sprint 5km just to be there or listen to what they've got to say...
i'm really getting tired of this.
why even bother asking my opinion when in the end you still proceed with your own thing(s)? that is consider r-u-d-e! why not just go ahead and do it!?! it has always been your way all these times anyway!!!
i'm sick of this!
maybe i should just go my own way...
ps: and u all wondered why Dr. David Bruce Banner turned into the 'hulk'.
pss: i know this is not a good way to start a new year, but, heck! who cares! new year or old year! it still feels the efing same to me!
Wasting My Time
by Eminem
I don't think you understand,
that what you're doing is not so cool,
you think it's funny to mess with my mind,
don't you?,
you know I like you so you just tease me,
(la la la la la la la)
you give me just enough to hang on and on
CHORUS:
When you're just wasting my time,
you're simply wasting my time,
so quit wasting my time
Oh___, la la la,
do you hear me when I say oh__
la la la la
So let me ask ya somethin',
hmm__, do you think I'm pretty or don't you?,
do you wanna get with me or not?,
and ah__ ya
CHORUS:
And what've you got to say?,
well things have got to change,
see this just isn't right,
I dont wanna have to fight,
and I think I'd better go,
cuz this ain't working out ay'more,
and Im sorry, I'm sorry, sorry__,
oh, ah___
Understand,
that what you did was just not so cool,
baby, you're just not that cool,
hmm__ , ohh___
