It was actually a suprise bday "bash" for Nazy as well!..... ;) i think she WAS surprised *Nazy, even if you don't, pls say you did!*.. hehehehe.... oh well!... pretences I did!... had to do the lil' white lie to Nazy... luckily, i didn't falter - which i usually do when i tell a lie.... hhahahhaa.....

But anyways, all was fine and dandy when Murni came with boxes of food!... macam nak berkelah (picnic)!... hahahhha..... BEST!..... good food, good company!... great recipe to a great nite out!... definitely!!... girls, when we all get married and have own homes, I hope we can do this more often!... potluck or something and the husbands can all go to another person's house to watch porn *oooops!* i mean soccer or something!... hahaha!.... thanks for the company girls!.....

RAINING SNAILS!
over the weekend, dearie and me had a much awaited jalan2 session!.... though it was a short one (coz i was still pretty tired from the nite before), i enjoyed it very much!.... actually, would have enjoyed it better, if I wasn't soooo tired to meet Nazy in them morning to do some red earth shopping! hahha..... but niways, went to eat at Mak's Place at Geylang...

good food...
wide selection...
reasonably priced...

the all-important ingredients to make this one of my favourite eatery!... ;) and definitely a good place to hang out too!.... *but no, yana, i dun get the salad for my chix chop!*

At home, dearie promised to help clean up the fish tank which was raining snails!..... horrendously, hideous tank with snails in them!.... it's like a bee hive of some sort!.... couldn't stand it and the pump seemed choked coz it's not working... dunno if it's bcoz of the snails though!.... YUCKS!... as i've said earlier, and I'll say it again - NO WAY on earth, am I gonna have any living things breeding in my house - even PLANTS!....

click on the above to see a close-up view!

I even msged daddy to tell him to kill all the fishes, the next time they go on long trips!.... gosh!... the catching, the smell and the clean up is enuff to make me puke and it took all of me to NOT kill the fishes!....

NEWS-less?
is it me?... or is it me?... is our Straits Times getting thinner?... isn't there any news anymore?... so, is that a good sign or not?.... hmmmmm....

WEDDING 3
Third wedding this mth!..... and it's such a beautiful, beautiful wedding!!!..... i lurrrrve the wedding soooooo much!.... heard that the bride was the planner for her own event and with the help of her bridesmaids, they managed to pull off a grand, beautiful, significant, memorable wedding - not only for themselves but for the guests as well!...

It's not your typical Chinese wedding dinner... there were no professional entertainers - just the bride's lil bro doing his bit for his sister opening the ceremony and doing all the talking.. but we were entertained from the beginning till the end!.... and bcoz i went to the wedding being a bit emotional, i teared when the lil' bro spoke volume abt his sis and expressed his love for the couple.... and i teared when the groom - doc, i'd like to call him - got emotional on stage as he expressed his thanks to his family and spoke abt his love for her!....

the groom's dad did his lil speech which turned into like an entertaining fairy-tale story telling!.. apparently, he's that talented because he's one of the famous sports broadcaster in Ireland!.... other entertaining stuff:

it was the Last Emperor kinda theme... before the banquet starts, the chief cook went up to doc to get his permission to start the feast!.... sooooo extraordinary!... hahahhaa...

the groom's bro did a lil' presentation of them since young.. very FARNY!...

there was lion dance

an Irish dance by the groom's best men. They did this dance earlier in the day during the tea ceremony before the groom was able to see the bride.

and not forgeting the "YAAAAAM SEEEENGG".... clinching of glasses......

And moi, being the only Muslim in the group, was given "special" attention / treatment... being served separately... and I tell you the menu, is supremely better than what my Chinese counterparts are having! they're like allll droooooling!... hehehehehe....

All in all, the wedding was picture perfect except for the fact that my cam's spoilt and i brought daddy's cam and his cam is hopeless in indoor setting, hence as you will see later, not many photos to be shared!!.... AND we're served by this auntie who is extremely hopeless in taking orders and not mindful of us at all!.... but all in all, had a great nite out... but a very long one at that!... and my favourite ang-moh did a very farny thing before he sets out for the dinner. He called Fullerton to ask "What is the market rate for an ang bao at your hotel?" I burst out laughing rite there and then.... the girl who answered could not answer his question.. passed it to someone else but that person's not on the desk!... so poor toddie had no answer but instead got an earful from me and another colleague for doing what he did!... hahahhahha.... he's such a laff!..

MISSING....
While preparing myself for the wedding yest, Daddy msged me..... tat sms shook me to tears..... cried and cried for five mins.... bcoz i miss him too!!!..... i miss them both!.... it has really been very lonely at home.... hmmmmmm...............

"AGENT 007" @ WORK!
lil' Ani juz called!.... she's inviting me for "hi-tea"... cedehlah!... she belanja dah!.... hmmm.. now, let me try to recall when she last belanja me?!.... kekekekkee..... jgn mare heh!.... btw, no obligations kan?... soooo honoured!... i'm the only one she's invited to this hi-tea!... kekekkee..... undivided attention lah nie?..... hmmmm.. pressure tau babe!.... i might feel compelled to buy something from you!... damn!.... this treat better be good!... ;D

NEW HOBBY??....
i juz got myself a new hobby while my parents are away!.... baking!.. yes!... maybe i should do some baking instead of idling my time watching DVDs!.... since my marble cake during the Hari Raya Haji was a huge success at dearie's house, i shall make another one to polish my skills!... hehehhehee.... coz tat one was actually a mistake!... put in a tad too many of cream of tartar!... luckily, turned out alrite!!....

oh!.... and i also found out that i can't help the living things in my house for nuts!... one of dad's fishes have died!.... and i really cannot figure out how or why!... i fed them twice a day!... wat more?!.... missed my dad, i think!... i juz hope that the rest will still breathe till they come back!!... oh!... and my brother, can't help me for nuts as well!!.... told him to take the dead fish out of the tank... i tot he did!.. the next day, i notice the fish stuck in between the plants inside the tank leaving only it's bones!... gross!.. sucker must have sucked it's flesh out or something!... YUCKS!....

and my plants?!.... they seemed sooo dried and the grasses are growing longer and longer... so, dearie, being such a dear, cut off the brown-looking leaves and plants and cut the overgrown grasses!.. and me?... did some cleaning up of the living room and kitchen area.. TIRESOME! three and half weeks left!..... oh my gawd!.... QUICK!.... if i ever have a house, no way am I gonna live in a big house with living things breeding anywhere in the house!...

MEETING TAUFIK...
A dream came true all thanks for sweeeet Izy! for choosing to ME to go with her to Taufik's Thank you Party... it took me a whole day to make a report on this simply because if i were to write this yesterday, i figure, that i'd be emotionally distraught and erratic in my writing!... bleagh!... y??...... hmmmm..... here goes:

1.30pm. arrived. not so many peepz around.. decided to take a bite off foodcourt 5. the place hasn't changed a bit.. though that Auditorium area has completely changed it's look!.... NICE!

2pm. came back to see a line forming up on the second level.. quickly went up to secure a place in the line... thinking.. oh well... half an hour to go before they open the gates to let us in... and discovered, my friggin camera is NOT functioning properly AGAIN!... fuck ass!.... nice time, cam!

2.40pm. still waiting!.... hmmmm.... the line has snaked up to the 5th storey!... thank god we weren't there!...

2.50pm. gate opened!!...weeeee!.... but we got controlled!... we were seated at extremely left hand side of the hall... followed instructions.. very kuai!... they said no seating at the middle aisle - FINE... but after the left aisle was filled up, and a few rows at the top tier was filled up, the ushers let people (ie people who came LATE) to fill up the middle aisle!... IDIOT!

3.30pm. video-clip of "I Dream" and his journey thus far. Made me and Izy teared when we saw his press conference clip with his mom.. such a snag!... and momma's boy he is!... awwwww!...

3.40pm or so. Taufik came on stage. thanked everyone. thunderous applause from audience to beloved mom. and that "sayang, mak!" - his trademark which made me and Izy go "Awwww!.." again!... played 2 games - a Nizam guy did a great impersonation of Taufik, or i'd say MJ!.. cool dance moves!!... and then we listened to 3 "singers" crooning his songs, with 2 ladies vying for his attention with "Let's stay together"... and one of the ladies being soooooooooooo *censored*.

5pm. Autograph session begins. people very well-controlled BUT, irritatingly, the ushers or organisers, didn't control it properly!... they went from the right aisle to middle (mind you, i repeat, these ppl came LATE!) and then, to our row.. and blah.. blah...

i got 2 stuff signed when they announced earlier that we can have UP to 5 items signed!... izy got 1 only... i got 2 bcoz i insisted!.... uggggh!.. i was sooooo mad!.. the whole day, we were kept waiting, and waiting... and then, it all came down to that!..... but of course, i shouldn't be soooo mad!... coz there are abt 9000 other ppl who bought his pre-sale album, who didn't get passes to this party!... so, thank god once again for giving me this opportunity to get at least, my T-shirt signed!... YEAY!...

but i'm definitely pretty mad with the organisers to not manage time properly and not delivering their promises!... since SWATCH is the sponsor, i'd say - pls give some watches to the organiser so that they can keep tab of TIME!.... so, girls ie RosmAman, Gems and my 2 cuzzins - my apologies for not being able to get autographs for you!... i soooo very want to get it for you girls!...

Well, if I ever picked up the courage and make it as big as Taufik (yeah! rite!.. haha!).. or hey! be a manager for a rising artiste?... something like tat?... then, i'll make sure they friggin dun mess up the event.. things will hopefully start on time and jolly well make sure that we deliver what's been promised!.. it's only right that the fans get what they deserved!... afterall, an artiste - be it famous oredi or not - is nobody without their fans!...

Pictures of our eventful day at SP here! and more pictures courtesy of Izy..

nonetheless, a HUUUUUGE THANK YOUUUUUU to Izy for making my dream come true!.. and also my heartiest, heartiest HUGGGGGG and thank youuuus to my dearie for being understanding.. though he's practically forced into being understanding!.. hahah... but not only that!.... thank YOUUUUUU for buying me my belated bday gift which i oh-sooooo-wanted!!!... :) thank you, dear!.... *mmmmuuuuacksss!*....

GREETINGS from MINA
Mom smsed me and gave me a rude shock juz before going to sleep!... she said, it was raining heavily at mina camp and that some camp got flooded! got chaotic for awhile - leaked at all 4 corners!... GOSH! she's worried on how they're gonna sleep coz mattresses, pillows etc are all wet!.... told her to tawakal je.. one the challenges i supposed... hopefully, she gets her beauty sleep!...

but this morning, i chuckled reading her sms.. she said they did the second throwing of the stones. had late dinner - mutton briyani it seemed. couldn't recognise dad from the back because he was bald!.. ahhaha!.. seriously, daddy should go take pictures of his bald head!.. i wanna see!.. hahahaha..!!....

HOT! HOT! HOT!
AMI rocked!... love the quirky comments that Ryan Seacrest has and the ever-so-rude Simon has to say!!.... though the contestants are not as funny as I had hoped for but the voice-over for commentary, Simon's comments and of course, not forgeting the HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! Mark McGrath!....gosh!..... he's sooooooooooo kiuuuuuuuut!!....

Ain't that face and body soooooo HOT?! haha!....

DAD'S BALD
Dad msged juz before lunch... guess he's figured how to use the sms!... AT LAST!... and said "I'm BALD. Selamat HRH..." hehehehe... can't really imagine him bald... if he looks better that way than a curly mop over his head, may ask him to bald his head when he comes back!.. hahahaa... :D but anyways, i doubt so lah!.... it's soooo un-him to do this bald thingie..

Mum msged too at abt 10am and said that they've done the stones throwing jamrah aqabah and tomorrow, they'll be throwing the 3 jamrahs... al-hamdulillah.. acc to quirky aunt (who's got a daughter soooo cheeky - she wanna smack me if i dun do my cookies. RAR!), tat's a half the job done oredi!.... YEAY!.... insya-allah they'll get to do wateva they have to do and have haji yang mabrur!! and then come back to join lonely-me in Singapore!... kinda miss them oredi... missing dad's corniness and miss mum's yakking!....

oh mann!... tml is hari raya haji!.... the two siblings will be making their rounds on their own!... e'eh!... sungguh sedih!... *no-no!... not crying!*... i think nyayi would be pretty sad (inside of course!...) coz her 3 daughters will not be around... she's called like all her grandchildren to come - MUST come she said... even insisted that dearie comes along!... i think she wants a house full of peeps tml!.... hmmmmm.......

AMERICAN IDOL NEWS!
as you guys know, AMI4 is coming like tomorrow!.. weeeeeee!!..... and they've added a twist or more, a change to the whole concept.. (tat's quite needed now, that it has reached it's fourth season!).. the following is the new format from their newsletter. Days stated is acc to America's time:

This year, instead of 36 finalists, at the end of the Hollywood round, the judges will select 12 male and 12 female singers. Then in the semi-finals, one group will perform on Monday and the other on Tuesday, with voting on both nights. On Wednesday, two singers from each group will be eliminated until we have our finalists -- 6 males and 6 females! What does that mean exactly? Now your favorite singers will be seen every week until we've crowned our fourth American Idol!

- more here

now, i dun really know what they mean by seeing our favourite singers every week until they crowned their fourth idol.. so, we'll juz have to wait and see!..... i can't wait!!....

MORE NEWS....

on Taufik.. who else?.. ehehhehe... juz read the papers abt how "screwed up" information passed from one party to another, in the SAME organisation can be!... now, they're saying that it was wrongly interpreted or something like that!... now, who's telling the truth?... media can be really screwed up sometimes!.. why the hell did i study it anyway?... *rolls eyes*

but anyways, Ria/Warna can say wateva they wanna say.. but i've been listening to Ria and plssss dun give me that shit abt airing his I Dream song on radio everyday.. coz i've not heard it on air since FRIDAY!... and if you really don't "ban" him like u said, how come the "overly-excited" deejays in the morning (when he won the title) didn't interview him?.. in fact, how come it seemed that none of the radio stations were featuring him on his debut album day?.. but instead, focus on the Tiger Cup happening on Sunday!... like errrr... Tiger Cup = entertainment value on radio?... vs Taufik = first S'pore Idol = songs = radio?.. hmmmmm.... i juz dun geddit!.. oh well!... i may be wrong in my facts/assumptions above. And if i'm wrong, correct me.. but no need to reply with a hate tag hor!... ;)

MY FIRST HATE TAG!..
Hey hey hey.... why so stressed up?? whats with the big HUHA bout Taufik going out with Hetty? it seems to me that you are just so so fuckin jealous by the fact... why is there a need to over-react? i dont see the point why is there a need for you to mention "she's with like whichever male artist who's popular at the moment"... what the hell? didnt you know that thats the life of the celebs... gossips and stuff are part and parcel. DUH?!

We as fans must always accept the fact that we can only be close to the celebs to a certain extend. GET IT? Fans are fans. Celebs are celebs. Treatments are different. You can always DREAM ON to get close to Taufik like Hetty is now. No matter how you fuckin pose for the camera and post it all up here and fuckin think that you are fuckin jambu! Taufik doesnt even recognize you, for sure. well perhaps a HI and BYE makes you think that he's yours... hhmm... poor thing.

If you are aware of Taufik confession (BeritaMinggu 16/0/051)of being close to Hetty way before he became the idol... well i guess thats answers it all. Hetty is not always to be blamed.

In my opinion your are just another minah berangan glamour who's just fuckin jealous of whoever who's much better looking than you. Let me tell you something, if you think Hetty fuckin care bout all these negative stuff from some minah like you? think again girl. most minah-minah in spore here hate her like anything... and you think she gives a shit? i doubt so. things like this are nothing to her. trust me. hah... you are just another minah in the long list. Well, its fine if you hate her like hell coz its nothing new! ;) she will always have her fans to back her... even if its just a small group.

Anyway, i would suggest that we as fans stay calm and not exaggerate these things.. things that i guess Taufik and Hetty may not even bother.

GET A LIFE Girl!!!!

CHEERS,
Taufik & Hetty Fanatic
------------------------

there!... my first hate tag.. no.. not in here... in my multiply entry... such "strong" words and blasphemous personal attack on me!... hah!.... wateva lah!... i know:

:: i'm not a 14yr old who thinks a person is mine with a simple Hi and Bye.
:: my stand as a fan. And i'm engaged to be married, to my dearest dearie!
:: I dun have to berangan jambu or glamour since i love myself and am comfortable in my own skin to pose "glamourously" my camera; or so, she thinks!!
:: i can also be such a bitch or an emotional freak when i put up something on my favourite artistes.. coz that's who i am.. and ppl who knows me, would know it!
:: i dun have to write anything to please anyone; i'm free to put up wateva i deem fit - be it my fucking poses or my fucking entries!

I'M MOOONDAANNNNCING!

BLESSINGS

Category: Music
Genre: R&B
Artist: Taufik Batisah

A soulful performance given by our first Singapore Idol!.. I marvel at how easily he achieve high notes and do songs in "thin notes".... and how moved i was when he sang Ibu, a P Ramlee classic.
My favourite would have to be One Last - can easily make it a #1 hit in Singapore... his rendition of Me and Mrs Jones, Let's Stay Together, September and Superstition beat the original singers!... though i must say that I prefer hearing him sing live than hearing his CD... haha!...

But all in all, one of my favourite albums i've owned so far.. definitely beat buying a compilation album big time!.. PLUS! it comes with lyrics and a few of his pictures as well!... *though i think that the make-up artists, photographer and the person selecting the pictures could have done a better job!*

if you hadn't got it, do grab it.. it IS from our first Singapore Idol and all i can say - GOOD JOB TAUFIK!.... in all these, i can't help feeling that luck is not on his side ever since he won the coveted title... soooo many challenges and obstacles to overcome.. but nonetheless, I'm sure he will work hard and so far, he has proven himself to be the best that he can and i see, he has spoken like a true artiste - diplomatic and ever-so-humble; which not many artistes do!

p/s: notice that his face is still in the right hand corner of the album?... though not as cialak as his pre-sale album.. but i still wonder where HMV put the tag now?.. coz the tag would have been somewhere near his pretty face... if anyone go there, take picture and show me hor!.. :D

WEDDING 1

Beautiful bride, that Ayu!... hehehhee.... Congratulations to dearest Ayu and partner, Khasdi!.... went to the akad nikah (solemnisation) where the mysterious Mr Khasdi made his first appearance and we watch Ayu tearing even before the start of akad nikah... and then, the sanding (reception?) next day where we see the two really looked like the king and queen of Brunei for the day; wat with the yellow baju and all! lovely!!

the works is here!

Ayu,

our heartiest congratulations to you.. May you find that happiness with him and the assurance you desire. May the union be a happily ever after for you till death do you part and be strengthtened with the delivery of babies! ;) Love you, girl! and am gonna miss your gibberish rubbish (at times!) hehehehe...... dun lose that aye?.... *mmmmmuuuackss!*

TAUFIK BATISAH DI GAM?

Read the article in BM yesterday and was sooooooooo outraged!... what the hell is the matter with the Malay radio stations?.. after months of supporting and praising Taufik, they decide to end it all by NOT airing his songs on their station anymore juz because he wasn't able to make an appearance in APM?..... claiming that Hype Records reply to their request was rude?!... damn it!.... that's soooo freakin petty!.....

And it's not even Taufik's fault!... blame it on his NS duties!..... actually, in all of these, i feel that everyone involved is at fault!...

1. SPF - for not abling to release him off his duties. I mean, c'mon! you've supported him before, why stop?.. of course, there shouldn't be any preferential treatment!... but hey!... he is gonna be our ambassador, one way or another.. I'm sure there's a way you and his management can work things out!...

2. Hype Records - why can't they do anything abt it?... and if the claim abt being rude and all is true, where's their professionalism?... there you are, trying to promote him, and you make that dirty mistake of being rude!... it had and definitely would indirectly hurt him in the process!

3. RIA and Warna on the other hand, shouldn't have been sooooo petty!... the guy has his duties to fulfil!... even if the letter of reply was rude, he shouldn't be made to pay for that!... it's juz sooooo unprofessional and petty!..... it's juz showing your kemelayuan melampau-lampau!.... and you claim to want to support our local talents!... hah!.. where has that claim gone to now?... swallowed it down your throat?!....

Bottomline: if this is gonna happen, i'd say - in the next Singapore Idol, ALL male contestants MUST complete their NS duties before joining the idol competition... juz in case they manage to win our hearts, what's the point since their vital public performances after his win, are going to be restricted due to NS duties anyway?! hmph!

Oh!... and no APM for me this year coz if they wanna be petty, i can be too!... plus Anuar Zain may not be performing as well!.... he's not in the line-up of performing artistes....

TAUFIK'S ALBUM'S OUT!
weeee!... got to hear a gyst of what's available in his album and freaky shit!... it's sooooooo sedaaaaap!..... i want!... i want!.... i'm gonna geddit it TODAY!... after work!... gems, u wanna go collect later?...

ok... pls pray that i get to win admission to his "thank you" party!...

WHEN THE "CATS" ARE OUT....??
the mouse run out to play?.. ehhehehee...... my parents went off to perform their haj yesterday... not so tearful.. juz shed a few tears after being taunted by dearie!.... oh!.. but there was a touching and hilarious moment when dad suddenly hugged dearie... i think my eyes practically bulge and I definitely was trying VERY hard not to burst out laughing, seeing dearie's body kinda stiffen coz he was definitely caught off-guard too!....

but oh well..... for most part, i was pretty strong... i bid them well and would really hope to see them come back in one piece... told mom to pray that i get married quickly!... like who knows?... her prayers are answered and you guys may juz receive our wedding card in abt a month's time?... hahahhaha.. *yeah! rite!*...

so, after sending them off, went off for a nice, cheap lunch at the airport's canteen!... (never fail to impress me with their cheap but nice food!hahahaha.... ) And then off we went for our errands... and came back late to meet ah-xin's FFD!.... and to see her making herself comfortable at the seats outside!... *luckily she had not tried anything funny with the fishes or my shoes!*.. spent the nite being accompanied by my two girlfriends and dearie who helped me clean up!... *thanks dear!!*.. and what did we do last nite besides talking cock?....

definitely took photos yesterday!!.... see here...

P/S: My dad's phone is gonna kill me one fine day!!... aaaaargggh!!! DO NOT eva buy O2 phone if you're not-so tech savvy or is plain lazy to read the manual!!...

FAREWELL TO SINGLEHOOD..
My dearest friend is leaving singlehood for good to be with her man of her dreams or more appropriately, god-sent... ;)

She did a hen party, for a party of 6 and though I came late and had to leave early, I'm sure she and the rest had a blast - celebrating singlehood and friendship formed for the last several years.. it was an emotional moment for me when she gave her small speech for each of us... She shouldn't have gone teary-eyed when she came to me!... DAMN!.. was sooooo MALU when I was the only one who cried hearing her speech... it was tooo heart-warming and touching, which had deeply left an impact deep in my heart... seriously...

click here for pictures of yesterday's "party"

Dear friend, forgive me for not abling to write a mushy card or poem for you yesterday.. but trust me, your friendship was one of my best friendships formed in my entire life.. we have definitely come a long way to be where we are today. And I'm glad we made it even when I doubt things would never be the same again, at one point in our lives *hint: Australia :)*

And seeing the love that Aduka and I shared through your eyes was an eye-opener - I didn't realise you saw it the way you did and i'm touched. Though I had my doubts about him in the beginning of your relationship (you know how I am with older guys!), I'm actually glad, he's the one because I do see his sincerity and his love through his eyes.. and first impression, usually don't fail me! ;) And no matter how much I or anyone is in denial of this, he IS god-sent. And god have chosen him for you... and THAT cannot be wrong, ait?

Aduka and myself sincerely wish the both of you the best in this marriage and the future beyond.. May Allah grant you happiness, health and prosperity with kids to liven your days.. i love you, girl!....

HETTY SARLENE AND TAUFIK BATISAH?!

hmmm... i find this girl sooooo berangan!... she sure or not?.. the other time with that "Asmara Ini" guy, then Khairudin Shaharom, then now Taufik?!.... she was also rumoured to be with Rem and Anuar or something.. she's with like whichever male artist who's popular at the moment!... whoever's with sungguh.com's account,i guess you get to read the detailed account of her story (pls let me have a gyst of it as well!)... for now, let me leave you with this stupid excerpt from sungguh.com!

"Gosip terkini yang kami terima,Taufik Batisah sibuk ke hulu hilir dengan Hetty Sarlene. Iye ke?

Wow! Ini cerita sensasi. Iyelah, boleh dikatakan dah selalu jugak kami terbaca berita Hetty di dalam majalah-majalah hiburan seberang tambak. Si Hetty ni cukup hot sekarang! Lakonannya dalam drama Semb..."

The above is such a stupid excerpt that it beats my summary lessons in secondary school!.. really!... it's NOT even a freakin summary!.... i get to read this because? i subscribe to their FREE account... might as well NOT have it right?!..... waste my time only!... at the very least, give a summary or the first para or something!.... not let it hang loose like that!.... tat's sooooooo fucking stupid - to the point of irritation!... BODOH!!!

But anyway, adik oi... jgn kuat berangan ye.. orang tak suka!.... orang naik menyampah tau!..

NO MORE MORNING EXPRESS?!
Heard on the radio earlier in the morning that this week would be the last of the Morning Express! how can??!!.... i love listening to them in the morning!... it perks me up and definitely, without fail, bring a smile to my face!!... i hope this is one of their gimmicks or something.. coz i definitely cannot imagine not having them colour my morning with their bickering but rather insightful comments on anything and everything!!.....

TAUFIK = NATIONAL ANTHEM?
juz read abt a so-called rumour abt Taufik invited to sing the national anthem during the Tiger Cup this Sunday!... HAH!.... coz i really cannot imagine how he's gonna sound singing the national anthem!... it's not like he can bring a soulful or R&Bish note into the national anthem rite?!... (i mean, of course he can, but is it allowed?) kekekekkee...... but confirmation of the guest appearance for the event should be released within the next couple of days... so we'll juz have to wait and see!.. ;) can't wait!... can't wait!!..

WEDDING @ A CHURCH

My first ever wedding at a church.. and it was an eye-opener.. Toddy kept asking if i found all these weird... yeah it does!... but it's all part and parcel of our multi-racial/religion and culture and i'm glad I get to experience the different kinds of weddings in Singapore!.. hehehehe.... i've yet to attend a tea ceremony... maybe when one of my two dear girlfriends get married?... hehehe... dun forget to invite me to the TEA ceremony hor!!... ;)

Oh!.... juz one thing!.... this is the solemnisation of a couple... i think it's only right not to bring along "wailing" kids! keep them at home or at the very most, try NOT to annoy them during the whole procedure!... if you know, you did, pls get them OUT of the mass BEFORE they start wailing!.... it is VERY irritating and disturbing!... and the kids tat day make their noises at the "right" moments!... urrrrgh!

FAREWELL to my DEAR DADDY & MUMMY!

I'm gonna miss them.. and even more so, with Rizan not around... hmmmmmm.....

THE CASE OF THE SCREAMING NEIGHBOUR..
Remember my blog entry on my screaming neighbour?.. Mom got the inside scoop of what's happened the other day!.. apparently, the daughter in law lost a piece of chocolates.. and... she accused the mother in law for "stealing" the chocs!...

Of course the ol' lady not happy lah!... coz she didn't do it.. so she talk back to defend herself.. somehow, it escalated to a shouting match and until, she took a knife (to action slash herself? to try to cocok-cocok them?.. i dunno.. mom never asked!!!... DAMN!!)..

Anyways, bottomline - the shouting match was because of a $2/pce chocs?!... and you accused the ol' lady for taking them?!... like HELLOOOOO??.... there's other ppl at home too, you know?.. DUMB!.. plain freakin DUMB!....

PSSSST!....
YEAY!.... wedding plans been settled!... managed to get what I want!.. hehehehe.... the parents have conceeded and i'll go ahead with whatever that we've planned while they're away!.... weeeeeeeee!!!....... oh!... oh!... and dad wanna buy a new car.. hopefully, he sees my point and buy a jeep lookalike!.. kekekke.. or a 7-seater?!... hehehhe.... wateva lah!.. it's juz exciting going to showrooms!... berangan pun jadilah!!... ;)

CHILLING WITH DEARIE...
I think i should make Cafe Le Caire, my favourite hang out place with dearie!... hahahaha... it's sooooooo super lepakz!! - chilling with a sheesha, talking cock, under the street lamp.... though i simply hate the service - late delivering food and stuff but sooooo fast in passing us the bill!... DAMN!.... :( but all in all, it's a nice place to chill out!.... love it!.....

WEDDING BELLS RINGING!!....
now... now... what should i get my dear girlfriends?!.... why must they choose dates sooooo close to each other?.... pokai gue!... Ani, wanna share?.... hahahahhaa..... we can get them a sexy, notti lingerie for their "first nite"!..... kakakakakka...... especially Ayu's!!...... waaaahaaaahaaaa!!... i think she'll scream!!.... hehehehehe..... i wonder how long they'll "orientate" themselves!.... *giggles* so, this sexy, notti lingerie should be able to quicken their orientation, ait?... *giggles*

SOOOOO RUDE!...

I find this too disturbing... and i find it rude!... i cannot stand it if price taggers cover something up.... something as important as an artist's face, should NOT be covered!... pantang aku!... i won't even buy a book if the price tag covers it's synopsis! Let alone covering my favourite artist's face!...... hmph! purposely or not, we dun know... but wat i DO know, is I think HMV wasn't able to sell off his pre-sale album there because of they covered his face!.... and this price-tagger must be one of those boyfriend whose girlfriend is head over heels in love with Taufik!... DUUUUUH!.....

let's get this right once and for all! - we, the girlfriends/wives who's soooo head over heels in love with Taufik is because of the charm he exudes from singing his songs and the wonderful voice he's blessed with!... if ONLY the guy in our lives showed as much charm as they did while courting us, they'd be on par with Taufik now!... ait, girls?!... ahhahahhaa..... hey boyfriend!.. listen up!... we love only you! you! you!... get that in your head!... Taufik is juz an entertainer, an idol whom we'd never be able to reach out to!.... a celebrity or artist juz like Scorpion, Bryan Adams and the rest and ooooh! Siti Nurhaliza whom you guys sooooo much idolise as well!... so... GET OVER IT!....

*i realise after writing the above that it may not be applicable to a few others.. but u should get the gyst!*

CONFIDENT ME?
Am i confident?... hmmm... i dun think so lah... if i am, i would have joined a lot more singing competitions and flaunt my assets more, rite?... hahhahahaa.... a friend's feeling insecure abt her weight and would like to lose 10 more kilos!.... siao ah?!.... she oredi look soooooo good and cute!... actually, she's lost some of her cuteness by losing all that weight!... but you're looking good/better now, sista!.... she wants to reach her ideal weight... she dun wanna be overweight!... hmmmm..... who cares?!.... being overweight does NOT make you UGLY!... being underweight or juz nice, MAY!...

ahhahaa.... sorry to whoever's affected by reading this!... but it's true!... coming from an overweight girl myself, i've always thought and seen for myself, how one looked soooo much better with that extra bit of meat on them! and i DUN mean LOTS of meat... juz abt enuff to make you look healthy will do!... hahaha.... coz i do look a tad sick when i lost a bit of weight the other time.. and i dun quite like it... i prefer a chubby me! - healthier-looking and soooo much more huggable!.... ;D but hey!.. this is me talking - my opinion, my thought.. u may not agree... and i dun care!... your bf/fiance/hubby/friends love you for who you are.. accept you as it is.. so, juz as long as you're true to yourself - fat, skinny or ugly doesn't matter anymore, ait?! Love yourself before others can love you and that's important!

KIDS UP FOR ADOPTION
It's started with Mum asking Dad who gave him that SMS abt the 300 kids up for adoption from Aceh. After blah.. blah.. blah... Dad asked if we wanna get one of the kids! *a knock on the head!* WAAAAAT???!!!..... new member in the family? like is he for real?..... who's gonna take care of this kid? can i love him/her like my own? errrrrrr......

BUT, if we don't take them, then who will?.... they're all alone.. in that few short moments, they've been stripped off everything!.. suddenly, no parents to care for them.. no one to depend on.... *dilemma! dilemma!*....

Dad seemed ernest to take one.... Mom on the other hand, is definitely not too keen!... i'm torn.. and i wonder wat lil' bro gonna say but i'm pretty sure if it's a baby, he'd say yes immediately!... i told Dad that if he really wanna take one, take a kid who's a year or younger.. i dun want a 2-3yr old kid who's got a mind of it's own oredi... coz tat's complication.. u know?... coz we dunno what kind of background they come from and all... it'll be a tad harder to nurture them as our own than an infant who's innocent and growing...

However, the same nagging tot came back - Wat if i can't love this being as my own?... Dearie told me abt how kesian they are... yadidadida.... But I feel that even if we take them and shower them with all the $$ in the world, it doesn't make sense if we can't give them the most impt thing in the world - LOVE!.... without love, the kid can't grow "properly" - if you know wat i mean.... oh well!... it's difficult.. but i think Dad's juz thinking the thought out loud.. coz like Mom said, if he wants to take one, he's gonna have to take care of it!.... hmmmmm........

HOME ALONE..
Mom and Dad's departure for Haj is nearing... NEXT WEEK! gosh!... tat's like freakin fast!... hmmm... sooooo not looking forward to doing the laundry, having to cook for myself, feed the fishes (which i never fail to forget everytime they're away!) and water the plants (which i almost always fail to forget as well!) ..... but i'm oh-so-looking forward to having the car and not worrying where we can go for lunch!... hahahahha... ;) but nonetheless, i'm extremely happy they've got the "calling" at last to go... and i hope that they'll pray that me and Dearie would be able to get married sooner than expected and as "peacefully" - without much financial difficulty as possible.. insya-allah!.... hehehehehee....... and Mom, bring back their inai plsssss!!!.....

ME!... GODMA AGAIN!!...
OH MY GAWD!.... my dear fren really is damn lucky!... i think it's a "bunting pelamin" scenario!... ;) she's expecting her first child and have made me it's Godma!.... hmmmm.... now dear, see?.... we dun need to have kids our own!.... we've got TWO even before we're married!!.... hahahahhahaa.... *choy!... i'd like to have my own kids and make that two dear frenz of mine, their godmas!*

SURROUNDED WITH...

yes!... these!!!..... they were eyeing our bread!.... baru nak lo-man-tik-lo-man-tik by the beach!.... sekali these birds kacau plak!.... and one of them fierce plak tu!...

dunno why it fluffed up it's feathers!

anways, interestingly enuff, there was also a group of 3 teen-aged cats!.... saw the birds and walked stealthily towards it... but i guess, they're still young?... they dun have that lion instinct in them!.. ahhahaha....



So, nope!... no bloodshed seen... wat a waste!.. hahahaa.. but nope!.. i dun wish to see it either... i've got goosebumps as it is, seeing the cats and the birds surrounding me.... dearie kept scaring me with "what if the cats ran towards it, can't "brake" in time and charged bumped into me instead?"... DAMN!.... tat WAS a scary tot! for HEAVEN's sake!!.... i was pretty scared and on the edge of my seat!!... kwang...kwang...kwang...

NEIGHBOUR TROUBLE?
just heard the neighbour screaming and shouting... didn't think it was the neighbour... but it really sounded like her... so, being the kepo in me (and daddy was curious as well...)... we opened the door and was eavesdropping.. like trying to figure out whether it WAS the elderly woman screaming... coz soon after, the son, was screaming as well.. so, I was pretty confused.. coz in my head, how can the son be scolding the mother, rite?.... AND THEN, there was some slapping or beating heard and at that time, i told dad to go ring their bell or something... i WAS freakin trembling!.... stewpid neighbours!.... tat really got me shaken!.. and i don't think i can see the guy the same way anymore... we dunno who beat who or wateva but the son was sooooo freakin fierce!.... and i'm not surprised if HE was the one who raised his hands!.... damn it!.... feel like going there, giving him a tight slap!!.... i may be wrong ah in my assumptions but the mother was definitely involved in the quarrel... and I CANNOT freakin imagine how can a child raised his/her voice to his/her mother the way he did!.... no matter how angry i am with my parents, i doubt, i'd have the heart to actually raise my voice that way!... i'm still shaken!... i dunno why but i'm definitely mad!.... urrrrgh!... INGRATE!!!!

TIGER CUP or MUG?
Dad's watching Indo vs M'sia now... Indo's leading... and would most likely win!... hmmmm... pretty slim chance for S'pore to win it in the finals... no doubt.. i think practically everyone didn't think they would go this far... but hmmmm.... they did!... but heck!.. so wat?!... the standard of play is pretty bad... though FD tried to argue that Glenn (who's practically ridiculing the Lions on national radio early in the morning, right after their win!) that Glenn kept trying to compare them to the professionals in the English league... i think it's juz wrong!.... y?... coz the Lions are considered professionals, in a way!... they dun have to work.. they juz need to play ball!... and they can't do it?!.... the Lions before - they played so damn well, even though they have a second job to do besides playing ball, ait?!....

oklah... to be fair, we should be supportive since they've made it this far... but i hope the boys don't get it in their head that they're some sort of a superstar JUZ bcoz they've reached the finals!... coz that's the problem with these boys!... and i hope that the media dun like pressurise them or flatter them the way they're doing!... coz come home ground, with the respectable turn-out, the Lions may juz crumble to the pressure!.. they nearly did yesterday, anyway..so, to the Lions and their fans, good luck for the finals!...

CLAYTON HOLMES AIKEN
Yesterday, as the weather gets colder, i took out my burner, filled with with ylang aromatherapy.. put in Clay's second single cd, on my reading light and lied down with Clay's book on hand... accompanied by Clay's "My Way" at the background with that tiny flickering of the candle burning the aromatherapy oil, i began reading his biography....

And all i can say is, GOOD job, Clayton!.... in those few short chapters that i managed to read, you've made me cry and laugh with you... and in those few chapters, you managed to capture the essence of the woman who have made you the way you are!.... your mother.... and i can understand now, how and why you had loved and devoted yourself to her... coz she is one hellava strong and smart woman!.... the funny thing is, reading your book, i can almost hear you talking to me with than swank of an accent that i always find amusing!..

A truly inspirational book...

You may not be a fan of Clay Aiken but i assure you that this book has life-learning experiences and teachings that will set you thinking... I'm not loaning this book out for fear that it gets lost or damaged or wat nots bcoz i intend to get my kids reading this book, to understand how one's life can be made better if only you belief in yourself and love yourself!.... PLUS valuable lessons from Faye Parker is for me to impart to my children in the future... and so, you see... i can't lose this book.. but i do hope you peepz go get it - coz it's one in a million!... ;)
