I'm Such A Dork

so after hanging at the office yesterday while waiting for my sister, i decided to go to KLCC instead... and what are the odds that the moment i decided to blog about books, i went to Kinokuniya and saw the exact books that i was looking for (the one from Janet Evanovich)... unfortunately, Sizzling Sixteen wasn't in paperback n i ain't gonna spend rm100 on a book that i could get for rm30... i mean it's tempting but with the same content Why Pay More (promote sket hahahaha).. so at the end of the day, i walked out with 2 books.. Finger Lickin Fifteen and House Rule (Jodi Picoult)...

can't wait to continue reading Janet's book... i miss Lula and Grandma Mazur so much... i dun think i've ever been obsess with books as much as i am with the Stephanie Plum Novels... u should check it out.. i could laugh by myself just thinking about it.. great characters, great stories..

u should check it out...

All I Want For Christmas

so ok, i don't celebrate Christmas, but is it wrong for me to get excited about it? maybe.. but the colours always brightens me up.. all that sparkles just mesmerise me.. anyway, last year, my department had this exchange gift thingy for christmas n new year.. n just like last year (if they do have it this year, that is) i think i'll be requesting a book... whut do i have in mind?

the latest book from Jodi Picoult.. off course i'd much prefer these instead...

but i have been searching for months (almost a year) for these, i dun think i would want others to go thru hell just getting a book for me (or do i?), so i'd just settle for Jodi instead, which i'm sure would be much easier to get... although after venturing into work life, i dun read as much as i used to (and want to).. yes, i do miss it at times, but i dun really feel like reading now.. i'll just save it for some other time.. and yes, there are still a few books at home that i have yet to read, namely these...

but Cecilia could wait, she hasn't really been my favourite anyway... i can't wait to get in that mood again... to curl up in my bed all day long just reading... to strain my eyes from reading those small letters (yes i have bad eye sight)... to carry it with me all the time as if my life depends on it (hey, i sound like Isa hahaha)... all those things would be worth it after reading the final page, knowing that my 'relationship' with that book will end with a smile of my face, having the satisfaction, to once again, finish what i've started...

so tell me, what's the best book u've read so far?

Taking A Break

tired.. tired.. tired... even tho i'm doing nothing... i dun feel like writing about how i spent my days off... just wait till i update on Broga Hill.. planned to go there this Sunday with the cousins...

can't wait for the weekend to be here again.. i miss staying @ home huhuhuh

Chilis @ KLCC

lazy weekend.. as usual.. had fun hanging out with Hani and Ady last Friday... went out to eat Chilis @ KLCC after work.. nk hilangkn stress supposedly hehehehe i guess food usually cures everything (regardless whether it's temporary or not) we had these for dinner..

i had Lamb Shoulder

Hani had SMK Steak (dunnoe what SMk stands for)

and Ady had Salmon

then later we shared this yummy desert

then lepak KLCC for a while with my sis while my lil sis nk mandi before fetching us.. tgk handbags, best gler.. rs cm dh lamer xshopping.. tp now kering huhuhuh den went to look for my Fossil purse lg, but unfortunately they didn't have it.. the guy said it was an old model.. owh well, i guess it's not meant to be then.. showed yaya my poppy handbag from Coach.. cute sgt2 but totally not within my budget (unless i marry Prince Harry, then maybe i'll consider it) =b

went karok yesterday.. loan ngn yaya hahahhaa no matter how often or how long karok, i think xkn pernah puas... best sgt2, i love screaming my heart out even tho it sounds horrible, mcm nk pecah tekak tarik tinggi2... then jln2 sket n went to KL nk tunjuk my sis the way to Time Square n got stuck in the jam.. hentam jer jln blk but we managed to find our way... before we reached home, sempat singgah OU jap cuz yaya nk bli mouse.. then izad went to sent her shoes for repair..it took an hour for it to be done so jln2 kt OU jap.. n i must say, their Christmas decoration this year is the best of it all... Curve is usually my favourite n they did good... but OU was cuter..it's a bit of a hassle tho if u're wearing high heels... bought Subway for dinner then went home to watch Scott Pilgrim which was so-so cuz i can't really hear whut their saying.. sound effect kuat but the conversations a low...owh n Arsenal won!! woot!! currently leading, thank you =b

found this cute little fella

didn't do much just now... washed the kitchen n played Sims all day...i asked a vampire to move in with me... had mcd for dinner n watched some tv while my sis braids my hair.. now i'm playing a bit of SL before i'm off to bed.. another week coming along.. i hope i can manage.. i'm actualy tired of it.. i dunnoe how some ppl manage it...

FIFA World Cup Decision

i don't know how it happened.. i'm not sure how they choose.. but seriously FIFA?? Qatar?? and then Russia?? i for one may be bias here, but don't u think England deserve more to host the next World Cup.. i mean out of all countries in the world, England are one of those where football has become a culture.. so fine, i've never been to Qatar before n i don't know what football is to them but England haven't been hosting the Wolrd Cup since 1966 or something... owh well, maybe this is a fresh air to them where the World Cup was never hosted in the Middle East and Eastern Europe... lets just wait for the Cup in Brazil till then....

She was right, it was a bad idea...

i can't believe i went over your advice n did it.. it was a bad idea indeed... i'm tired of having the same breakfast over and over and over again.. i wanted to eat something else.. so just now, i took this and this...

and put it into this...

n surely it didn't work quite as good as i thought it'll be..the Honey Star didn't move that much n i was left drinking a whole lotta milk.. it didn't help that the milk wasn't cold at all... they didn't have milk inside the refrigerator, so i took the one from the rack n put it into the freezer here in my office.. left it about 10 mins or so n didn't have much effect on it.. well, at least it's not warm...

note to self: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!!

Tears In Heaven

would you know my name,
if i saw you in heaven,
will it be the same,
if i saw you in heaven,
i must be strong, and carry on,
cuz i know i don't belong,
here in heaven.

would you hold my hand,
if i saw you in heaven,
will you help me stand,
if i saw you in heaven,
i'll find my way,
through night and day,
cuz i know i just can't stay,
here in heaven.

time can bring you down, time can bend your knees,
time can break your heart, have you begging please.

beyond the door, there's peace i'm sure,
and i know there'll be no more,
tears in heaven.

-Eric Clapton-

the story behind the song itself is sad.. n last night, i cried when i saw alang sharing the video of this with the title 'i miss you my little one'..

Dedicated to you

you come to work from 9 to 5,
looking all busy when i was the one who strived,
not a single thing done on your part,
but at the end of the day, you're the one who looked smart,
i'm tired of being cast behind your shadow,
i hope people out there aren't that shallow,
i hope they acknowledge all my hard work,
instead of thinking that it's all been done by some jerk,
don't u dare take credit for what i've done,
don't u test me while i'm holding this gun,
don't ever think that i'm afraid to use it,
cuz if been playing this scene over and over in my head,
one trigger, that's all it takes,
for ur life to be over, for your spirit to break.


hopes this could cheer u up =D

Nasi Lemak Marvellous

so last night i had dinner with my sisters n cousins at Bukit Indah Ampang.. we had Nasi Lemak Marvellous which has somewhat become our rituals.. taste-wise, i prefer my mums' n grandmums' more than this.. actually, i wouldn't categorise it as great, just good to moderate la.. but it's the company u eat with that makes this nasi lemak special, cuz we'd usually go there with a big crowd, n order alot... i think to date, our record would be 80 (btol x izad?) but last night we had 60 n i managed to eat 3 (my max quota la).. pics of my sisters below...

dunnoe what the total damage was but thanx Mohsin sbb jd sponsor everytime gi sane... now waiting for our karaoke session that's undecided since he'll be away lg...

Bowling for Columbine

what would u do, if this would've happened to u?
and when u pray, what will u say?
will i be on ur mind, in that critical time?
will u breathe fast, knowing it might be ur last?

at times like these i start to wonder,
about the beauty of life, that God has to offer,
how sad it is to think that this could all end,
with a terrible mistake done by a friend.

he went rampage, shooting everyone he sees,
not thinking of the consequences, not thinking of me,
i cowered in a corner, fearing the worse,
thanking God that i wasn't his first.

the screams grew louder, i feel him apporaching,
the shots sounds nearer, i know he was coming,
suddenly everything turned pitch black,
i'm pretty sure that's when he attacked.

i counted to five, and was ready to feel the pain,
a minute passed, the waiting was driving me insane,
two minutes passed and i opened my eyes,
and right in front of me, his body lies.

blood splattered, a gunshot to his head,
and suddenly everything went red,
i looked at his face and thought i saw a smile crept,
i couldn't take it so i turned and wept.

it was all over, some may think,
time will pass and the pain will shrink,
well they thought wrong cuz after years passed by,
i'm still alive, but inside i have died.

just read about the Wisconsin shooting and it's devastating to think that something like that actually happened... there's been many incidents throughout the years that are similar... especially the infamous one that happened in Columbine High School that Michael Moore made a documentary about.. n there was the other one in Viginia Tech which had a record of 33 victims.. does the 2nd Ammendment of US constitution help these numbers grow.. i personally think so.. at least it makes owning a gun easier.. since everyone has the rights to own a gun, no one would actually question u when u purchase a gun.. it's not like u have the word murdered or killer or bad guy, written on ur forhead for them to know right.. i just can't imagine if this was implemented in this country.. i don't wanna think about it.....
