simpler life

Posted on 1:12:00 PM No Comments

i've decided to go with a simpler design this time...

for my blog, i believe the main things are the entries, some photos and links to my favourite sites.

just like life. though there are so many things around us, not everything is important...

you're 27

all this season's reality tv shows are over!

nothing more for me to look forward to every wednesday nights, after a long day at work... *sigh*

anyway, congrats to all the winners ...

sergio "the latin snake" mora - The Contender
I was hoping he'd win. watching the match last night, i thought, he didn't have a chance.

peter and him spent most of the match holding on to each other rather than punching. hello! i'm hoping for more action like the 3rd placing match between Jesse and Alfonso, which by the way, won by Alfonso (double yeay!).

but, much to my liking, the latin snake won!!! yeay!

Naima - America's Next Top Model Cycle 4
she's one of my top 5 favourites in this cycle. she sort of reminded me of antm2 winner, yoanna house. and a bit of jessica alba too...

carrie underwood - American Idol 4
honestly, i think this season's idols are a bit weak compared to the previous (no matter how much Randy kept saying otherwise). I was 'voting' for mario (he dropped out for some reason), anwar (he has the voice, but not the personality), constantine (who have the personality but lack the voice) and lastly Bo Bice (I knew he'd lose since American's are more country than rock). Even the finals weren't as grand as last year's, although fox kept boasting how their rating have jumped tremendously this year. but, to me, as cowell aptly put it, "it was dreary".

guess i'd just have to force myself to watch "apprentice" huh?

lucky me the CSI series are still on... although they don't count as Reality TV...

if you want your dreams to come true, don't tell anyone

for the past several weeks, i've been bombarded with loads of work, left and right!
presentation on this system, meeting on that project, documentation of this, comments on that... argh!!!
it's never been like this before...
and the worst thing about it is that everything is due the next working day!
double argh!!!

i feel stressed out everytime i'm in the office.
it shows on my face.
in the form of - PIMPLES! urgh!
my skin's really breaking out nowadays...
what a girl to do?

oh.. have you dreamt of the same thing more than once?
I have.
and they're a nightmare.

they always involves people getting decapitated.
and they're not done using Guillotine or with one swing of the sword..
noooooo...
they're really graphic!
sort of that American POW unpleasant incident shown on the internet, CNN...
but i never actually had the guts to watch it ever!

the recent one i had was more of a dream in a dream.
the bloody massacre was terrifying!
i don't remember running away or anything.
i was more of a spectator.
just watching.
i couldn't do anything to help.
i couldn't move my body...
the next thing i knew was waking up in an old wooden house located right smacked in the middle of a cemetary!
the place was really familiar in a way.
it looked like the cemetary near Cik Li's house in Terengganu.
not that i've ever stepped into that area before...
it was weird... terribly weird...

the whole point of this is actually, those dreams got me thinking "why?"
why do i always have these dreams?
i'm totally not into horror/psycho movies.
even if it's a thriller flick, i'd be spending 80% of the movie with my eyes closed.
so, where does all these things came from?

is it a sign? but what?

this thought crosses my mind everytime - "is that the way i'm gonna die?"

astagfirullah...

my mind is really in a mess!

ps: people always say "if you want your dreams to come true, don't tell anyone". i'm going in reverse for this one.

for whatever reason?

Is it possible to have a hiatus from my hiatus?
But guess that's what I'm doing now….
Want to tell u guys about something

Yesterday over dinner with Yann, she said that SITI is a good place to work at for several reasons:-

You can come in or goes home at anytime. As long as you work 8 hours complete, people won't bother you.

You can come to work in casual clothing i.e. jeans and tshirt

You'd be paid handsomely

But I told her, yes that's true, however:-

the place is in cyberjaya, which to me is very far and not to mention a bit desolated

the responsibility comes with the amount of pay you get

and the most important thing is that the benefits I don't think could ever compare with what I'm getting at my current workplace i.e. cash reimbursement for:-

international/domestic travel up to rm3000

book purchases which twice a year the company usually do book sales

medical purchases for medication not covered by the company

these are only a few of those I think are great. The rests? No need to mention here.

I told yann, although my salary is not as high as my friends', but if I convert these benefits into money, not to brag or anything, mine could be higher – at least I think so… LOL!

And also because of these things, I kept postponing or rather cancelled any thoughts of resigning.

Has the same thing ever happened to you?

ps: if anyone could name other companies that offer these kind of benefits to their staff, then i might consider applying for another job... hehehe...

Signs

by Snoop Dogg feat. Justin Timberlake

[Chorus - Justin Timberlake (Uncle Charlie Wilson)]
I'm not sure what I see
Cupid don't fuck wit me!
Are you telling me this is a sign?
She's looking in my eyes, now I see no other guys
Are you telling me this is a sign? (OHHH!!!)

[Snoop Dogg]
Don't think about it, boy leave her alone
(Ooh wee!!) Nigga you ain't no G!
She likes my tone, my colone and the way I roll, you ain't no G!

[Verse - Snoop Dogg]
It's legit, you know it's a hit
When The Neptunes and the Doggy Dogg fin to spit
You know he's in - tune with the season
Come here baby, tell me why you leaving?
Tell me if it's weed that you needing
You wanna breathe? I got the best weed minus seeds
Ain't nobody tripping VIP they can't get in
If something go wrong then you know we get to Cripping

[Snoop Dogg]
Don't think about it, boy leave her alone
(Oh ohhh!! yeah!) Nigga you ain't no G!
She likes my tone, my colone and the way I roll,
you ain't no G!

[Verse - Snoop Dogg]
Now you stepping wit a G, from Los Angeles
Where helicopters got cameras,
just to get a glimpse of our Chucks
And our Khakis and our bouncer cars
You wit you friend right? (yeah)
She ain't trying to bring over no men right? (no)
Shiieet, she ain't gotta be in the distance
She could get high all in an instant

[Snoop Dogg]
Don't think about it, boy leave her alone
(Oh ohhh!! yeah!) Nigga you ain't no G!
She likes my tone, my colone and the way I roll, you ain't no G!

[Verse - Snoop Dogg (Justin Timberlake)]
Mami, mamasita, have you ever - flown on G5s
From London - to Ibiza You gotta have cape town
You'll have Sunday's with chiquitas
You'll see Venus and Serena, in the Wimbledon Arena
And I can take you (Uncle Charlie, preach!!)

[Bridge - Uncle Charlie Wilson (Justin Timberlake)]
Nigga don't be young and foolish
You don't know what you're doing
You don't know what you've lost until she's gone (gone)
And her pretty face, drove you wild
But you ain't have that Snoop Doggy Dogg Style

[Snoop Dogg]
Don't think about it, boy leave her alone
(Ooh wee!!) Nigga you ain't no G!
She likes my tone, my colone and the way I roll (hey!)
you ain't no G!
(Ooh wee!!) You ain't no G! (oh oh ohh! .. Ooh wee!!)

sophie's new book will be out!!!

It's called the 'Undomestic Goddess'

must buy - but i have no money!!!!

arghh!!!

From the Inside Flap (source : amazon.com)

The Undomestic Goddess
by Sophie Kinsella
Release date 30 May, 2005

"My name is Samantha. I'm twenty-nine years old. I've never baked a loaf of bread in my life. I can't sew on a button. What I do know is how to restructure a corporate finance agreement and save my client thirty million pounds..."

Samantha is a high-powered lawyer in London. She works all hours, has no home life, and cares only about getting a partnership. She thrives on the pressure and adrenalin. Until one day . . . she makes a mistake. A mistake so huge it'll wreck her career.

She goes into meltdown, walks right out of the office, gets on the first train she sees, and finds herself in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she is mistaken for the interviewee housekeeper and finds herself being offered the job. They have no idea they've hired a Cambridge-educated lawyer with an IQ of 158 – and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven.

Disaster ensues. It's chaos as Samantha battles with the washing machine . . . the ironing board . . . and attempts to cook a cordon-bleu dinner . . . But maybe she's not as undomestic as she thought. Maybe, with some help, she can fake it?Will her employers ever discover their housekeeper is actually a top-flight lawyer? Will Samanths'a old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?

The story of a girl who needs to slow down. To find herself. To fall in love. And to discover what an iron is for…

guess what else is new?

Jalan Terus
by Sheila on 7

hidup memang tak semudah
waktu kita muda dulu
panas dingin tak bisa diterka
strategi hidup bertahan
dari seleksi sang alam

hidup memang tak seindah
waktu kita muda dulu
umur terindah pasti kan berlalu
strategi hidup bertahan
dari seleksi sang alam

panas dingin tak bisa diterka
panas dingin tak bisa diterka

reff: tapi apapun yang terjadi
akan kujalani
akan kuhadapi dengan segenap hati

walau ku terluka
memang ku terluka
tak pernah ku lari dari semua ini

belum waktunya kita berhenti
jangan cepat puas kawan
bekerja dan terus bekerja
hingga saat kita tak berguna lagi

reff2: maka apapun yang terjad
akan kujalani
akan kuhadapi dengan segenap hati

walau ku terluka
memang ku terluka
tak pernah ku lari dari semua ini
