Yeah exam's over, so i'm still not used to sleepin early. Went to bed ard 3am but had a hard time to push myself to sleep. A number of things were runnin thru my mind...it's horrible, i had half a mind of callin up my supervisor to tell him i cannot sleep and might need a wake-up call. Darn, never mind. tossed n turned till God noes wat time, the next moment i knew, it was 7am. So i got ready and amazingly, my journey to work was good. I bumped into zombie Nitzz in the bus and reached workplace at 8.20am. Yeay great, i'm not so late nor did i over sleep today! Tot it'll be a good day at work. 

Ok tis will go down in history as one of the MOST SILLY moments of my life in 2005! U r free to laugh ur @ss off!!

The rest of the lab members were all there, doin there own tasks. I feel so happy n shiny for the good start, then my supervisor went, " Saofiah, why are u here?? U work meh today?"

Me still in my shiny happy feely mood retorted, "Yeah lah!" with a huge grin.

He looked perplexed. He went up to the duty roster..."Eh, u r suppose to come on Thursday & Friday lah NOT TODAY"

I was stunned...then i remembered he sms-ed me and even called me abt the schedule. OMG, WTF??!!! BODOHHHH NYEEEEEE (sounds familiar Jez?)!!!!!!! WAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I was really so dead sure i had to work tis mornin i even told my cuzzin Sitz & Weiwei! Am i so amazingly adorably SELENGE or wat??? LMAO!! 

Oh nvr mind, at least i getta collect my X'mas goodies....guess wat i did i get??? CHOCLITS!! lots em CHOCLITS!!! WooOOoooo!!! The best one is from my Manager...a WHOLE GOLD BOX of GODIVA Choclits with $30 Tangs Voucher!!! *jiggy jiggy* ALL MINE! MINE!! Muahahahaha!!

As u can see, the effect of choclits are really gettin on to me. i've been eatin everythin with choclit lately (rite mesye? ). Hmmm u noe i have been pretty stressed up with the exams, and nothin beats havin a lil choclit to comfort me BUT Choclit kills memory!! i better stop eatin them so much after eatin tis whole bunch! Goshh...prolly dats y i'm such a scatter-brain...it's all the Choclit's fault...they r juz tooo Wonderful to resist!!

Drownin it in Peppermint Mocha

-AFFECTED. upset. defeated. disappointed. headache-

wat did a daddy do when his daughter came home lookin off-coloured after her exam?

he smiled, shaked her abit to dust off the  and when she's all sad and dejected on her bed...wat did he do before he left home? pecked her right cheek softly...like he knew she felt so vulnerable, in need of a healing human touch. 

tell me, how can my tears not roll when i knew, i would very likely fail today's paper yet he treated me with such tenderness?

wat did a bf do to make a gf's headache & all kinda shit feelings go away?

he uplifted her wif Peppermint Mocha and stayed by her side as she drowned her melancholy wif every sip of the Peppermint Mocha while watchin him show off his prowess at slayin monsters.

+charmed. touched. healed. motivated. GRATEFUL+

 

 

 

 

Catalyst of Miss Grouchy

Dead lines->anxiety->insufficient sleep, lack of alertness->forgetfulness->mistakes->irritation ->cold->desperation ->helplessness->loneliness->In Need of constant Comforting & Attention from a certain someone who's always so busy at War :(

God only noe how terrible it has been for me tis whole semester, struggle is endless, up to tis day. Exam commences in less than 2 weeks, and i'm really sufferin a burn-out from all the shit lab reports that got worse every new experiment. I juz feel like givin up! Feel so tired of psychin myself up day in day out, tryin to stay cheery and upbeat despite all the negative feelings that kept on brewin n churnin inside. Sometimes i fail to keep it all together, and it is always my loved ones who end up gettin lashed at. feel Bad n Guilty abt that. when u feel at worst, it seems so hard to be thoughtful and considerate of others' feelings, it's all abt Me Me Me.

there ain't no peace in my heart, till i hand up my 3 days late report. after tonite, it's time to slog it out for exams. i MUST PASS my modules tis semester, i do not wanna go thru another round of tis Hell! Anyway Dr Kho is such a sweetie. Handed out to us lil notebooks to mark the end of our class. He said it was his lil Christmas gift to us. All tis while i have been cursin and swearin at whatever was taught in his lessons, fidgetin n feelin sleepy listenin to his monotonous lectures...yet he is so nice! Felt sick for awhile there cos i knew he had good intentions and maybe he was also tryin to bribe us to strive well. heheh. wonder if he was somehow an Army personnel, who juz noe wat to do when his men's morale is low! tsk. i'll do my best in the next 10 days of revision, hopefully i can get things right and pass that module from hell! The Notebook will be my Motivation...Dr Kho, u r monotonous but u rock :b

Cleavage Issue

Hehe I went thru the scenario juz now and it kinda inspired me to ask both u gurls and guys regardin tis issue. Do feel free to reply and share ur opinions. Tis is interestin  

Scenario:

Got on a bus, it was pretty crowded. I moved all the way to the back and bf stood next to me. I realised he was towerin over tis gurl, who is wearin a pretty low neck camisole wif ahem, of course, an ample cleavage. She got kinda squirmy when she saw bf was standin over her especially with his phone in his hand and then another guy stood nxt to my bf later but she tried to maintain her cool.

Now 2 questions for each gurl and guy:

For gurls, what would ur respond be if u catch ur hubby/bf stealin glances at the missy's cleavage, whose bra seems to be a lil loose and he could see her lil bits of ahem ahem?

and wat if u r caught in the same scenario, how would u react? would u play it cool since u got it, might as well flaunt it OR would u find means and ways to cover ur bossom?

For guys, do u think it is robbin the girl's modesty or does she deserves such attention or do u find it irritating if u can't help but look at her cleavage?

wat if ur gf/wife is caught in such a situation, do u mind if other guys steal glances at ur wife's/gf's boobylicious cleavage?

What Say U?

(oi quit staring, answer me! *LoL*)

No Keano

"His qualities as a leader and as a player will always stay within us."-Ruud Van Nistelrooy

U r damn rite, Ruud! I was damn shocked when I heard the news on Friday nite, it was too sudden! Why? WHy?? Urghhh.....!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a tribute to a Deserving Red Devil, ROY KEANE

Taken off Manutd.com

Roy Keane

Sir Alex Ferguson has labelled him the best player he’s ever worked with, while aspiring footballers and United fans worship the ground he walks on.

Whatever your view on Roy Keane, there’s no doubt he is the epitome of the unwavering spirit and desire to succeed that Manchester United stands for.

Few sportsmen lead from the front in the way Keane does, both on and off the pitch.

Images of him rallying his team-mates whilst covering every blade of grass have been, and still are, frequent occurrences on the field. He is also not afraid to speak his mind in front of the media, particularly if he feels his colleagues are not reaching the high standards he expects.

The Cork-born midfielder began his career with Cobh Ramblers after failing to gain an apprenticeship in English football.

Brian Clough later took him to Nottingham Forest before he completed a then record £3.75million switch to Old Trafford in the summer of 1993.

Keane began his United career with two goals on his home debut in a 3-0 win over Sheffield United.

The combative midfielder went on to win the first of his seven Premiership medals in his debut season and has since added a European Cup, an Intercontinental Cup and four FA Cup winners’ medals to his collection.

He took over the United captaincy from Eric Cantona at the start of 97/98 campaign, but his season was cut short by a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained in a tackle with Leeds’ Alf-Inge Haaland at Elland Road in September 1997.

The 98/99 season saw Keane experience a range of mixed fortunes. On his way to leading United to their historic Treble, a sending-off in the FA Cup semi-final replay victory over Arsenal was followed by a yellow card during arguably his greatest display in a Red shirt in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Juventus, forcing him to miss that unforgettable night in Barcelona when United were crowned European Champions.

Aside from his influential displays for United, Keane - a former winner of both the Footballer of the Year and the Players' Player of the Year awards in 2000 - has also proved an inspiration to his country and he now has over 50 caps for the Republic of Ireland.

A huge bust-up with former Republic boss Mick McCarthy which led to Keane’s premature departure from the 2002 World Cup looked to have put paid to his international career, but he made a shock return to action in May 2004.

Despite his ageing limbs, Keane,continues to be an inspiration to all those around him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keano, we'll miss ur leadership, ur silent resilience and hot head manners but u will always be remembered, take care my Captain!!

14.11.05: The Wedding Dinner of Peixing & Liyan

Congratulations dude!

Eh My journal, My say lah! Goblog!

Juz a couple of Quiz Results abt my blogging(journal writing) style

Your Blogging Type is Pensive and Philosophical

You blog like no one else is reading... You tend to use your blog to explore ideas - often in long winded prose. Easy going and flexible, you tend to befriend other bloggers easily. But if they disagree with once too much, you'll pull them from your blogroll!

What's Your Blogging Personality?

Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

So much for the controversy...

Yet it is indeed Keane's words that spurred the team to buck up last nite! I got high respect for that Irish really, even when he is out of the game, injured...yet he still has got much influence over his team mates. Slammed them or not, he is an effective captain. I love the match yesterday. Manchester United seemed to have a new lease of Life, from the moment I saw Van Nistel Rooy came out of the tunnel with the captain tag on his sleeve...i knew things will be good last nite, and it sure was! So happy to see the team playin with their hearts, put in much effort and passion in the game esp. Ronaldo who really set the tempo, as well as Rooney, Smith and oooo Van Der Sar....his timings to make crucial saves are brilliant. Was really surprised that the goal last nite came from FLetcher, guess he really made Ferguson brim with pride on his 19th anniversary as the team's manager. Brilliant game...felt like watchin a Finals or somethin...Chelsea fought really well too, they launched quite an attack on Man U's side in the second half but Man U's defence was pretty solid, i juz feel that luck was not on their side, they were juz as brilliant. Both played like they were Winners. I love the positive aura...! I hope Man U will not lose their orientation again & play with much commitment n passion like they did last nite...bahhh i dun think it's possible to play like that for EVERY match...ok discount...80% against not so tough teams. Heh.. C'mon United! C'mon United!   

Now, been readin & lookin thru other user's entries lately...so many Eid greetings and celebration photos...Glad to see people enjoyin themselves amongst friends and family members and feastin on glorious food. I was predictin tis Eid to be sucky for me actually, esp. with reports and assignment and test comin but Alhamdulillah, I managed to celebrate it with my family and still get green packets from my closest relatives! Student wat! ehehehe!

Anyways, was at bf's place 2 nites ago (beraya sambil lepak) and I went to tis site whereby my uncle said there's an audio thingy abt an Ustaz who communicated with a Jin. so i went to www.ceramahislam.com and looked it up and listened to it with bf and his sis (too scared to listen to it alone at home..scaredy cat). Hah...it was my former teacher lah...my frens n i used to label him Ustaz Jin, cause he used to tell us abt his encounters plus he does spiritual therapy also. Hmmm from the conversations, it got me wonderin how come the Jin can converse in Malay when it said that it came from Moses period? And why does it wanna enter and stay in a human being's body? It said that it was paid lotsa money for doin so..but how does it spend its money eh?? Hmmmm...really perplexing. Hidayah, if u read tis, care to enlighten us? 

Ok done with expressin & questionin...now must work on my report again. Endless man! Oh yes, btw...thank u Rafeeqah & Hafiz for callin me & bf & Firus to lunch! Once awhile eat Hainanese Chix Rice, sedap ahhh....Have a good week ahead everyone & all the best for ur Organic Chem test, Dee!

 

Lacklustre Performance & Nostalgic Moments

First and foremost, i am disappointed with the way Manchester United play their games after a looong time of not watchin their matches. Utter defeat at Middlesborough homeground...4-0!! Tragic but they really deserved to be trashed for the way they played. Already last week, they showed complacency and hah, i was not surprised that they did not buck up tis week either. They shot themselves in the foot! The Middlesborough 2nd goal would not have succeed if Ferdinand used a lil bit more of his brain and body to clear off that freakin ball. What is wrong with the team?? I tell u what is wrong...the players are behavin more like spoilt brats than Champions. They did not put their hearts into the games, They are not focused for they keep losing the freakin ball to the opponents, They did not make Creative play and their captain is Not Inspirin!! Urghhhhh what happened to the Champion's attitude?? God!!! Keane's presence is really missed and Gigg's too. Tis current team is so boring. The only fire i saw was from Smith, Rooney & Richardson...C'mon Sir Alex, leave Scholes alone, let Smith be the new captain or some other driven lads. U can't win the Premier League like tis! C'mon United! C'mon United!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spent most of today makin my speciality : Kuih Honey Cornflakes. Yeah the super duper easy yet yummy Hari Raya goodies. My mum retired from makin her Kek Lapis, Kek Gulung & Tart Sempret so i am the lone hope for home made goodies in tis house. What is becomin of the women in tis household? Hahaha! Anyways, my mum Finally asked a personal question which I was so utterly shocked to hear. I couldn't believe my ears...I dunno whether to jump for joy or to worry. It was a weird weird moment *Yikes* Nevertheless today, i was not pissed with my mum, we all did our own chores peacefully.

While workin hard at makin the kuih, heard a song by Feminin. The first person i thought of was  bf. Then as the song kept playin, I had a picture of Diana dancin to 2 other Feminin's songs while we were back in secondary school...then bring me memories of Badawiyah, Suhaila & the bunch of us...all preparin & performin for Hari Raya concerts back then. I wasn't quite a Feminin fan back then, nor am i now...but i guess, tis girl group dominated the Malay music scene durin that era and almost each of their songs played on radio back then, carry a certain memory with them. hmmm, anyone got their music on the comp.? Care to share?? Hehe!

Had dinner with bf at Centrepoint's Fish & Co., met someone from secondary school, who actually had an impact in my life. She sat next to our table without noticin bf & i till bf called her."Mrs Rostina Koh?" She was kinda surprised but smiled at me. She forgot bf was from the same school as I am but she remembered me, by name! Wow i'm impressed!! And so happy! Tak sia-sia that she is my Favourite teacher! The one who gave me inspiration ( i still remember the words she wrote in my autograph book!) to pursue my dreams and the one who spurred my interest in Biology... Gosh....after 7-8 years, it felt so good to see her again. I so wanted to thank her for bein such a lovely teacher and I wanted to tell her it's through her sincere way of teaching and sharing knowledge that somehow had made me who I am today. Told her that i was workin part-time as well as studyin, doin my degree in Biotechnology and i saw her smile. Maybe she's happy for me that i got tis far...Maybe she felt her efforts back then was not wasted at all.

It was such a long time ago that i last saw her and her boys...now they are all big!! One was a newborn back then and another was probably a pre-schooler...But now, the newborn is a big boy and the pre-schooler...is Soo TaLL. My Gooodness.....the effect of 7 years was really stark! It got Bf feelin OLD! Wow....I dunno wat to say.... I'm overwhelmed by warm fuzzy feelin of yesteryears and oh how we have grown so much older without realisin it....Unbelievable.     

  

U gotta walk with hip stickin out & Hop...tis is Hip Hop

LOL!!!

I was almost gullible to think he was rite, when Mr Roze said tis durin one of the Hip Hop lesson for a secondary school post-exam activities! Hmmm i wasn't familiar with hip hop but thank God i did not try to follow what he said or else i'd have made a fool of myself in front of those teenagers !

Ok actually my purpose of writing up tis entry is to ask if any one of u, guys and gurls, would be interested to join a Hip Hop dance class held by MDIS. I personally believe I need a lil introduction, breakdown & practise on the moves so that i won't look like a dork compared to the rest of the assistant instructors in the future.

Cold Hearted

That's me towards my mum!

Ok i dunno wat is so freakin wrong with me. I get irritated very easily with my mum. These past few days, i have juz been surpressin myself, holdin my tongue from lashin out at her or make really sarcastic remarks at her. But i gave her tis "Black" face all the time. Every lil thing she does makes me angry, from switchin On the radio while i was studyin, to askin my help to attach a document for her email while i'm rushin for my reports. Sometimes, actually most times, i really prefer bein ard the house Alone, where no one bugs me to do this and that and I have all the peace and time to myself. Is this a trait of an ungrateful daughter?? Good Lord, i feel so...esp. when today IS her birthday yet i am so so cold.

I really do not know what contributes to such a behaviour when it comes to my mum, i am nice and tolerant to others but not my mum, the one who is most concern abt me? hmm i hope...but so many times, i feel like she's NOT observant of her daughter yet so dependent on me, esp. when it comes to computer stuff. Grrr taught her a few times already how to use that damn email and everytime she forget! And everytime i'll get irritated when she asks me to teach her again! Fuckin hell, next time Saofiah...write down the instructions instead of gettin pissed!

It's so funny, when i feel down & troubled, i go to my dad...he got tis miracle touch. Tho he barely lifts a finger in the house and hardly talk to me, he got this magic touch my mum lacks. He doesn't even have to Open his mouth (he doesn't speak much to me anyway, most of the time when he opens his mouth, He's there to snap at me when i do somethin wrong) yet he always lifts my spirit. Same as to waking me up in the mornin...I hate my mum wakin me up. She shouts and shake me but my dad, he's different. He strokes my face gently and sit next to me and call me gently.

Kept tellin myself be nice to my mum, she's like the Backbone of tis family yet time and again, i get pissed with her. Maybe it's because I have tis certain respect for her for bein a Great Strong woman that sometimes when she asks somethin mindless or make remarks without even findin out the truth, i felt that my belief is violated? Or maybe because from young I have not been all chummy n snuggly with her that I feel strained whenever she's ard me? Arggh i dunno, it's really crazy...i'm pissed at her then afterwards i'm guilty yet the cycle goes on! Any solution here? Pls dun tell me to talk to her, we both have strong AND clashing opinions! Looks like i have much to apologise for on Eid's mornin

--back to my lab report--

We started off with Chicken & Mushroom soup as appetiser, then we moved on to Rosemary Grilled chicken with Whip Potato & Whip Sweet Potato & Corn Cob! Woooooh Shiok!

We took a lil break & catch up with one another, i downloaded for my cuzzin MSN messenger & played with the 4month old twin nieces of mine before tuckin in to Dessert: Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding with Caramel Almond Fudge Ice Cream & Strawberry Vanilla Ice Cream...Double Wooooh!!

All food were HOMEMADE (except for the ice creams), can u believe my cuzzin??? Yum yum yum...

Thank U so much for feedin us wif all the good food man!! U DA Man!

Al-Fatihah for Pak Lah's pillar of strength

My sincerest condolences to all Malaysians for the passing away of the Prime Minister's wife yesterday while battling breast cancer. Even our own president Nathan seemed to be so sad when interviewed. May her soul rest in peace in tis ramadhan month & Pak Lah remain strong & bring u more success despite his personal loss.

Gimme Cells, Proteins & Genes Dammit, NOT Chemistry!

Ok to anyone who DO NOT wanna read the crap abt my school stuff, my advice to You: S-C-R-A-M at tis instance!

Urgghhhhh!!!! I'm trainin to be a BIOtechnologist not a freakin Mad Chemist!! Why do u have to offer modules such as Chem207 to kill my freakin retardin brain cells already, MQ???!! ARhhrhhrh!!!!!

my MDIS bachelorettes will be askin me to cool down and they'll say if they can get thru tis hell, why not i....But the fact is, tis is BullCrap!! WHY?? WHY?? I hate all the d[NO]/dt= somethin somethin....wat is the order of rxn of X? Prove tis mechanism bla bla bla....I hate tis part of Chemistry...Why do i have to put up with tis shit?? I dun need tis in Biotechnology...Gimme agar plates to grow bacteria & maybe some DNA to purify or take my blood to do some diagnostic tests...teach me those instead of tis crap integration, calculation Chemistry shit!

Gurls, i dunno how u can bear & slog through Chem207...it's worse than Chem204 and i think Chem341 also slightly better (well at least the Carbohydrate part)! All the latin terms to represent somethin and substitution here n there are really a MAJOR TURN OFF & needless to say it's CONFUSIN...and the worst thing is, it's not even numbers that we are dealin with....How do u gurls do it?? I'll have Mid Sem Exam for 207 on tis comin Saturday (yes another Saturday 7-10pm lesson! hubba hubba!) yet i'm so so NOT ready ok. I can't even remember how to Integrate and use log or ln anymore!! it's really frustratin!! Oh i've yet to mention dat i have not even looked at wat is required of me to write in the Kinetics lab report, that's due on the 25th...for sure i'll be goin CUCKOO tryin to plot freakin Graphs n stuff.....SHMUCKKKK!!!

honestly ppl, i feel so pathetic & PaRaNoiD rite now...even Daddy's rare heartwarmin hugs are not makin me feel much better. tis is really demoralisin.......good nite.

Sucky Schooly Saturday

i am really feelin sleepy rite now. currently typin away in the lab. ehh? wat lab? well...i'm back at my old work place, as a part-time production technologist. the company's no longer called Genelabs Diagnostics, now it's MP Biotechnology. dun sound as good as it used to...and i heard that things are not gettin any better either except for higher demand of products, thus my supervisor called me up to help out in the process. so yeah i'm back here, workin 3 days a week. started out on thursday...i didn't feel like I have left the lab for 8 months already, it felt more like i juz had a slight amnesia cos everythin's so familiar...with minor changes. was greeted wif smiles and friendly comments by my surprised(they didn't noe i was comin back!) colleagues and my hair got the most attention..."Wahhh ur hair so long already ah!!"

tis week i've been feelin pretty "Lemau" or weak..maybe cos it's the first week i'm fastin, body still adaptin to changes and rushin thru assignment and stuff. i juz feel like sleepin all the time, even when i had to do kickboxin on wednesday, i seem to lost my zest. feel really "Blah" tis week...

caught up wif my cuzzins yesterday at my granny's & finally did my first Tarawih too. juz did 8 rakaat (itupun i felt lemau...gosh!) wif my uncle as imam and the whole buncha cuzzins and aunts were the jemaah. the feel wasn't as nice as prayin in the mosque altho it felt kinda nice to pray wif so many family members. gee i dunno if i am ever gonna be goin to the mosque for it cos it seems like school work is piling up and another mid sem exam is comin up. Wat is Ramadhan without goin for Tarawih man?? It doesn't feel complete at all!! Sigh...Gotta do much reading n practices...hopefully i can do so on nites that i do not have classes n i hope i won't end up sleepin! cos u noe...after eatin n u r all full...ur eyes get heavy and soon...Zzzzz...

Arghhh it's 1.45 already...and i'm supposed to be in class at 2!! Arghghhh ok ok, gotta go. it's gonna be a schooly Saturday for me. lessons are from 2-10pm wif 2 hours break in between. Sucky...Alritey mates...Take care n mesye, enjoy ur Buka session wif ur Army Pals...i'll be tryin to keep my eyes open for my lessons today... 

 

Get Up from that Bed of Roses already!!

OKAY!

Woke up tis mornin . I had 2 bad dreams. I dreamt that bf left me for a holiday in America wif his travel buddies and that I was separated from my dad in a tsunami/storm-struck beach. I remembered shoutin my lungs out callin out to my dad and he was nowhere in sight. I grew so scared when I saw oil tankers bein swept up the shore. I shouted n shouted, but in vain. I called him on his cellphone and the last thing he said to me was..."Don't worry, take good care of urself, I'll be ok..." sounds like he knew he was...dying. The next thing i knew was i woke up hyperventilatin & i felt so sad that i cried. I was so worried that my dream was an Omen...and right until tis moment I have yet to see him for the day. i hope he is Okay.

Bad dreams were not enuff to trouble my day, i was greeted wif an SMS from a classmate askin me whether I have received an email from a lecturer abt an assignment. What?!! I was not informed abt it? Apparently, I have a new assignment for Chem 207, and the deadline is 17th Oct.

Probably the dreams & SMS were there to somehow put me in the right frame of mind to kickstart my revision & research for the mid-semester exam as well as my assignments which are due on the 14th & 17th Oct. My first God-sent test for Ramadhan? *shrugs*

For now, i shall Focus & Aim to do my best for my exam & assignments. It's a race against time....GANBATTE neh!!

Psst...Daddy's home now...he's singin as he made his way into the house! *LoL* Pheewwwww~

Salam Ramadhan

For each Muslims, the advent of Ramadhan brings different meanings. While there are those who welcome Ramadhan with a deep passion for its benefits and blessings, there are also those who feel its “burdens and difficulties” and yet those welcoming it solely for the sake of the festive Eid celebrations that come after Ramadhan.

The diversity in response is a manifestation of the level of iman and taqwa of each individual. The fact, however, remains that Ramadhan is a holy and glorious month – the month of worship, the month of al-Qur’an and the month to multiply manifold our acts of worship and level of iman. Indeed, Ramadhan is full of wisdom and meanings.

A time of Remembrance...

A time of Devotion....

A time of Prayers....

A time of Reflection...

 

To all my Muslim brothers and sisters, may the goodness of Ramadhan brings Nur to ur soul & may Allah bless u with strength & patience as u remain steadfast in ur Ibadah & Amal in this glorious month. Insya Allah

 

Marhaban ya Ramadhan....

 

Multiply Makan Affair@Sakura Intl Buffet

NO pics of food, ppl...we were all too engrossed in EATING & STONING....hehehe! Thank u Dee for initiating tis gatherin & all for gracing the occassion! More makan expedition soon aye!

Fitness Network's 10th Anniversary Dinner

Where I had my debut performance with my dearest dance partner, Jessica, it's a dream come true in the company of my greatest supporter, Ned, she's been there for me since I started my Beginner's class. Hafiz, my closest Multiply buddy, Sitz, my ever supportive cuzzin & most of all....My Mesye, the one who adores me most!!

The Oyster Challenge

Spent a wonderful evenin last nite wif the MDIS bachelorettes along with Rafeeqah, Hafiz, Dee's bf & my bf at Sakura International Buffet. Food was pretty good, lotsa seafood...hot plate style, deep fried style, tempura style, Chinese style, salad style...but I did not really go ga-ga over any of the food..despite bein the last one still eatin while the rest were KO. hee...it's not cheap ok, i gotta maximise my $26 and since bf doesn't really fancy seafood, i gotta eat his share too but it was such a waste that i missed out on the lobster & crayfish! Pffft! Dessert was nice too esp. the Marble Cheesecake, I wanted to have more than one piece of it but gosh, i was juz too full!

The gatherin we had was actually to celebrate the birthdays of 2 of our friends... Missy Liz & Mr Fyz but somehow, it was also an eventful nite for bf & i. It was the first time that we both..ate Oysters in the 24 years of our lives! Hehe...we both stared at how Hafiz ate his oysters earlier and throughout the few rounds of getting food on our plates, bf kept challengin me to try out those gooey lookin things. I told him no yet he kept insisting. Fine...so i told him, ok if i try...he gotta try too. He made excuses bla bla...but finally succumbed and we both picked the smallest that were on the ice bed. We added quite abit of tabasco sauce before headin back to our seats and then, it was the showdown. I remembered Hafiz said earlier that we SHOULDN't CHEW the oysters cos it'll taste horrible, so we gotta swallow it whole. Ok...so by the count of 3, i got the oyster in my mouth and i NEARLY CHOKED myself with the damn oyster!!

I spit it out and turned to bf...he downed his oyster already...Ooops!! ok ok, bein the graceful competitor i took in the oyster again, bite it twice and swallowed!! I cringed at every bite to anticipate anythin gooeyly awful..but hmmm it didn't taste that bad. In fact, I tasted mostly the lemon & tabasco flavours...but the chokin feelin is still stuck here in my throat! Yurrgghh!! I couldn't stop laughin at the ordeal we put ourselves through, it was utter Lunacy !!

U WON mesye....Obviously, Fear is NOT a factor for u....*LoL*

Oh btw...thank u Rafeeqah for recordin the historic moment eh. Hehehe and the rest, for watchin us made a fool of ourselves...hehehehe

 

 

A Nite to Remember

I think I am goin to bed  tonite...cos I made history witnessed by my dearest peoples as well as strangers & acquitances. I never thought that such a moment would come true But tonite, it did.

Tonite was my very FIRST belly dance performance!

After a miserable plate of pathetic portion of rice, octopus(slurp), spring rolls, wantons, lettuce, toufu & beef... Jessica (my dance partner)& I excused ourselves to the toilet to prepare for our dance. After borin speeches & testimonials abt the fitness centre, it was finally our turn to perform on a pathetic petite stage...Luckily it was still big enuff to accomodate the two of us. Tsk! Before I made my way to the stage, I told myself not to mess up cos rite there in the audience are people who took their time & paid money to support me & it is only right that i do not put all those to waste.

As the music blasted, i got a lil tense...in fact I WAS tensed & nervous! Wat do u expect, when tis is my FIRST time performin to an audience whereby 90% of them are literally strangers and matured adults, lookin serious & I do not even expect any cheerings from them. I tried carvin a smile like how I did for ACES day but i could feel my lips quiverin. I dunno how I looked but I juz try to look straight in the audience & smile a cramped smile. Tried to find familiar faces amongst the crowd & yes, I spotted my table!! The whole bunch of them were standin & cheerin & videoing or snappin away...!! Wheeee~ I'm so happy!! And best of all, I spotted my dearest mesye also movin to the music...I can't help smilin away on the stage lookin at him, as well as my cuzzin all smiley. I dunno...it felt so Good,they juz lifted my spirits and in an instance, my quiverin lips were gone!! My routine went pretty well despite doin a couple of blunders here & there. After our duet performance, Jessica proceeded to perform her Drum Solo piece...and she did really nice, despite lookin a lil lost for awhile when she missed her cue but she covered her ground well, and Voila...we ended our performances wif big big smiles!! Gotten ourselves some compliments from the ladies seatin at the next table as well as another ex-colleague of mine. Got us grinnin again!! And Hafiz, said our performance was worth the money he paid! YEAY!!!

Soon we were off to the outdoors & were snappin away photos..as usual! Wat are events like these without a lil photo session ehh?? Hehehe...Pose pose pose...till it was time for lucky draw. When I got back to my seat....there was already somethin at our table...apparently, Hafiz won somethin & Iyuan went on stage to get the prize...Oh damn, missed takin his pic. ahahah...

We left after the Lucky Draw & proceeded to Holland Village. I felt really obliged to get my people somethin...so I offered to get them Ice Blended drinks from Coffee Bean and they were more than happy to get the treat. Then we chilled at the carpark & drank away....Ahhh nice...Then Hafiz as usual, drove us all back....He's always sendin people home, never think twice abt it unlike some people who are soo calculative when it comes to petrol consumptions. Once again Thank You Hafiz for sendin me home safely as well as the rest.

THANK U Mesye, Ned, Sitz & Hafiz for Supportin me tonite. THANK U Jessica for a wonderful time...rite from rehearsals till the moment we were on stage and THANK YOU Jim for ur support as well as the ride. Oh oh and not to forget the gurls who wished me luck via SMS...Hafi & Rafeeqah, THANK U too! It is indeed a nite to remember....

Oh oh oh...The Sweetest things.... 

20.09.05: Black Eye Peas' Gig

First of all, sorry...no upclose photos of the band. My Ixus II ain't powerful enuff to capture clear images of them, so here are some pathetic pics of Black Eye Peas gig. I was there with Iyuan & Sue.

The band made us wait quite a long time before kickin off the gig with Hey Mama. Fergie was fully clothed. haha! Poor iyuan was expectin her in her mini skirt but he was disappointed the whole nite thru but at least she was doin her "thang". I lurve the way she moves her hips!! The first half of the gig was pretty mild i must say...I like the second half better cos there was more attitude innit, even Iyuan moved his hips! *i like*

I was kinda surprised that Fergie did not hog the limelight in fact it's the Filipino dude that kinda stole the show. These guys r really a groovy & fun buncha ppl, they injected some humour and spice up other bands'/singers' songs. They did a lil rendition of "No Woman No Cry", "Milkshake" & a couple more Hip Hop songs which i am not sure of their titles. Even so, somehow i felt they did not really connect with the audience.

Nevertheless, it was a pretty enjoyable gig.

Attn Nurkhairani (if u r lookin thru tis album): Were u at the gig also? I think I saw u on my way out of the stadium.

Steal My...

I got tis SMS from Norain today, my answer to her was Her Gorgeous Raven hair...she said it was boring! Damn...*LoL* Anyway, Here's wat it said:

"Hi ya! today is World Stealing Day! So tell me one thing which u would like to steal from me. send tis message to ur friends. U will be surprised at the answers u get! Reply is a must"

i have no idea there is such a thing as a World Stealing Day?!?! but due to utter loneliness & boredom, I decided to forward it to a few of my friends to see their response. Hehe kinda fun, i got a couple of surprises indeed!

List of things they wanna steal from me:

• Manchester United stuff (cuzzin Iqa, i gave u my one and only Beckham poster already, still not enuff?!!)


• 2 demands for my VS undies! (Oooo u gurls r really sick or noe wats really precious!!)


• My Constant Energy (tis one...I'd love to spread around!)


• My Joyfulness cos i'm Sentiasa Ceria Bagai Sang Suria (translated- always cheery like the sunshine! LoL tis one tickled me cos i was imaginin the person sayin it in my face, full of expression!)


• My BOREDOM (oooo tis was a Jackpot answer at the time I was sendin out the SMS...from my cuzzin Reza, good one)

So lets continue tis fun mindless thing on Multiply, wat do u wanna steal from me ey?  

Addiction & Lust

That's wat i am goin thru these past few days! Bf handed me his nifty PSP for the past weeks but it has pretty much been sittin on my study table wif me, playin a lil of the Hot Shot Golf game. Got kinda pissed cause I am juz ONE freakin Star away from gettin Silver Medal but that star is freakin hard to earn because the freakin course is freakin hard to conquer. Oh well...then juz a few days ago, bf handed me tis game called Wipe Out...GOD!! I simply simply cannot quit the game once I play it! Racer Queen in the makin here??? Hahahah nah...i keep on crashin but it's really fun!

Juz 2 nites ago, I got a certain urge, certain feelin that I have not really felt for quite some time...Lust. I lust for a certain heels at Aldo's display window & my internet window shoppin trip got me lustin for a couple of tops & Dresses. Obviously...it is  Very very sinful for me...cos...I do not have much money & if i do not control myself...I'll be left miserable for the next few months...But Gosh...I WANT THOSE!! Here here take a look...they left me droolin...

                                            

 

Doesn't the laces on the peachy blouse look so good (the girl looks yummy too)? (See the top pic, now see below)  And the dresses...awww so Sweet? And the heels....Oo La la!! Wouldn't I look like a Lolita aka WOMAN in those?? Awww dammit. Ok enuff of my Lusts, gotta get ready for work. School holiday's over, back to seein the children as well as Nike Women wants me too...so, Work work work for me for the next 2 weeks!

Sitz's 21st Splatday!

4th September was spent at cuzzin Sitz's place. Had a gathering there to celebrate her turning 21 as well as her graduation & her bro's return.

Although not all our family members turned up, my parents were missin too, we still had a good time esp. with lil Khairi to keep us all giggly & smitten. Khairi is our one year old nephew, he's really active & inquisitive. Pulled the heartstrings of his few aunties with his antics. Haha!

The birthday gurl loved the gifts that Kak Ekin, Liz & I got her....a brown bag & retro-ish swirly wurly scarf! YEAY!!

The best part of the gatherin was abt an hour before we headed home. Tis was wat happened. Kak Ekin was the mastermind who suggested we sabotage Sitz with the sinfully creamy birthday cake, i thought it was a Brilliant idea! So we got coordinated. Got Liz to be a pseudo photgrapher cum accomplice and we called Sitz to pose a photo with me as I got in my hand a plate of CREAM no cake! She didn't suspect a thing despite Liz's cheeky giveaway giggles and after Liz counted 1, 2, 3...SPLAT!!!

Wahahaha it was soo funny till Sitz started to chase me out of the house and got me trapped. She CREAMED me too & proceeded to share the Cream carnage with Liz & Kak Ekin! *LoL*

Shall we have a repeat for Liz's birthday, cuzzins??? Oooohohohohohoh!!!!

Katrina Katrina...

It has probably been a week since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I did not pay much attention to it initially but after a few headlines and thoughts of my online buddy & her lil baby in the US, I decided to get updated. I am not familiar with the locations of each US state and I am hoping so damn hard she is not near New Orleans or any place affected by the hurricane. Yesterday, I finally decided to check out proper the different states of US (hey Sean, i noe where u are located now) and thank God North Carolina is few states away from Louisiana & Mississippi!

Upon seein photos of the aftermaths in ChannelNewsAsia's gallery & more pics in Multiply, i felt so guilty, guilty of bein nonchalant, guilty of bein ignorant n guilty of bein passive. It was juz 9 months ago that we Asian's had our very own calamity and the sights were devastating. And to think, such similar sights can be seen comin from the US, the powerful n mighty country. major floodings, lost of properties, deaths, refuging...And looting n lawlessness are at high when each and everyone is tryin their best to survive. And the military ppl seemed to be providin relief at a disappointingly slow timing. I wish I could help out but i'm incapable to, at tis point of time. I could only offer my prayers for the victims to be patient & live strong amidst the chaos they are in now.

The pictures comin from the affected area kinda humbled me. Even though America is a powerful country, yet when the forces of God hit them, they fall too n succumb to the Greatness of Almighty juz like the affected islands of Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka & Maldives, juz like in the Movies...the effect of Hurricane Katrina reminds me very much of the movie "Day after Tomorrow". Will more of such attacks, crumble America? Economically? God knows...I just hope the people caught in the calamity will emerge stronger & united & bounce back to their normal life, juz like the people in Patong. It is gonna be tough, but if the Thais can do, why not Americans? God bless...

To Be or Not to Be?

That is the question that has been weighin on my mind for a couple of days.

So wat's my problem? Let's see...

Back in July,a girl handed me her name card n requested for my number. I gave it to her and last Wednesday, someone from her company called. She said I was selected for an interview & needed one photo of myself. Hmm ok, it got me pretty excited so on Thursday, I bugged Dee on wat to wear & cuzzin Sitz to accompany to develop my makeover photos.

So then, Friday was D-day. Despite bein excited, I felt skeptical too. I had an interview with i Models Intl at the SIngapore Shoppin Centre. I personally have not heard of the company before but I have heard stories abt the scams of some model agencies. All they want is ur money, do up a portfolio with them, or sign up as a model but pay for make ups n stuff, but at the end of the day...very few or no assignments are given to u to make any profits. But anyways, I juz went to the interview and the interviewer said I look like a Hong Kong star upon seeing my makeover photos, which? She can't remember her name. Tsk tsk. She told me, she is lookin for bridal wear models and that will be what she have in mind for me if I join them BUT of course, I have to...Make a Portfolio and Comm card. Also, if there are assignments, 70% of the salary goes to me n the remainin 30% will be theirs. She quoted the prices for 3 dress change, 36 photos is $388 or 2 dress change, 24 photos is $288. Pffftt...I do not even have enough money to pay for my insurance, how the heck am I to raise such an amount? So I told her, I have to consider first and she gave me till Tuesday to get back to her.

After the interview, I bugged Dee further! Heh I can't help it, i AM interested cos hey how often do i get to be approached to be a Model?? Never before tis, it is like a once in a lifetime offer. Dee told me that, if I do not have money now, I could try & ask the agency to make my portfolio & comm card and work for them for free till the amt is raised. Wow...that sounds really appealin to me, then many Qs came to my mind. Do i have a sellable face that people actually wanna sign me up to don their dresses/promote their products? And how many assignments will i get, can i actually cover the initial input & actually make profit out of tis?? And if the agency agree to my terms, wat kind of assignments are there? Prospects? And the worst thing is, wat if the agency is juz out to grab my money?? hmmm...Tis kinda Qs cannot be answered till I put myself in the waters & see it for my own self. It's so risky yet so temptin .

Hmm come to think of it, why am i worryin over tis? I mean, I should ask the lady first if she is willing to the terms that Dee suggested. If she rejects it, then...isn't it such a waste of my time worryin over uncertainties? Silly me! Hmmm but i'd like to try & be a model , though it has never been in my "what i wanna be When i Grow Up?" list. Arghhh...so to be or not to be? Hmmmmmmmmm.....

 

P/S: got some new pics uploaded in my Phuket trip album, finally got pics of the rock structures that i have mentioned abt. haha that place made me feel like a bikini model. love it!

Secret Mission: Mr Fyz's Surprise!

Firus Listenin to his Senior

Awww the man was stumped when he saw us@the Zoo! Hahaha his cheeky gf has been plannin n plottin behind his back for tis delightful Surprise! It was more of a picnic rather than an excursion to the zoo, i hardly took any pictures of the animals!

Advanced Happy Birthday to U, Mr Fyz!

Happy ACES Day & Teachers' Day!

I had a really early start today. Woke up at 6.15am,my dad was kinda shocked that i was ironin my clothes earlier than him. I told him I gotta be at Khatib by 7.30am and it's for ACES(All Children Exercise S??dunno wat S stands for) day! For some of us here, ACES day was all abt the Great Singapore Workout rite? But let me update u guys, the system has changed! Primary school students now have Hip Hop & Kickboxing workshops!! How cool is that??

Anyways I was late and I kept picturing myself gettin into a panic frenzy when I join the rest of the instructors at the carpark or somethin. In my head..."Oh dear, I'm gonna screw up..Urgghhh Nooo" but thank God when I arrived, I realised the rest of the assistant instructors also did not know the routines. And that the ACES day thingy will be done in the Hall. And I was in time for the thingy. Phew...BUT then, it was announced that I will be assistin the Lead instructor ON stage in front of the children, right from Pri 1 to Pri 6 & their teachers!!! I'm a DEMONSTRATOR!! Goood God!!!!So SCARY ok....So many EYES on me, i do not have experience dancin Hip Hop & i am such a BOO BoO Queen!!!

Amidst the amountin madness that's takin place in my head, i had a lil flashback of myself...wayyy back in Sec 3 or 4, bein propped up on the canteen table at the school carpark, also as a demonstrator but to my buncha schoolmates, i remembered it was scary at first but i had a fun time...So i psyched myself up earlier"Don't Worry abt the steps, they'll fall in place...Let's juz Have Fun!"

So when i got on stage and looked down at the sea of students...I SMILED..it soo helped...tis curve thing always straighten things out! In no time, I was juz movin along, findin my confidence & comfort in the music despite my paranoia. it was quite a struggle but it all went pretty well for the Hip Hop section except for the last bit where the footwork was a lil foreign to me... the teachers wanted us to do a lil performance for the children with the steps we taught them so I juz whacked my own freestyle...ahaha i wonder how the heck did i look like?!?!! felt kinda pressured in between two experienced GUY instructors but was happy with my lil jiggy. Who cares, maybe no one was payin attention to me anyway!

Then came my favourite part...Kickboxing! Yeah!! Missed kickboxing aka Body Combat aka Cardio Combat! My Favourite Cardio workout! The Lead instructor re-introduced us and the children actually remembered my name when asked if they recall each of our names. Wheeee~

Tis part was juz a mere 30 min compared to an hour of Hip Hop! No fair!!! But I had a good time sweatin it out...altho i kinda made mistakes with my punches, arghhh RUSTY already...BUT it was ok i guess, the children were fast at gettin the steps right and they were a delightful bunch, well with just a few unethusiastic individuals. At the end of the session, the children were lookin all happy & were wavin at us as they made their way back to their classes.

What a wonderful learnin experience and good workout! And today, i finally met Eidza face to face instead of seein her in her headshot & Jez's photo albums in Multiply. I thought she looked kinda fierce but in reality, she's really sweet & friendly lah! Hehehe...hey Eidza, thanx for keepin us hydrated eh & nice meetin u

ok i'm not sure how many teachers there are in my contact list but hey,

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY & Have a WELL-DESERVED HOLIDAY !!!

Despite the smiles n stuff, i missed u at tis year's WOMAD :)

Emm didn't put up any pics for Apache Indian's performance cos we were juz too absorbed by the RaggaMuffin's callin! And they came back on stage for an encore after the crowd chanted!! How nice!!

One Love...
One Heart...
Let's get together & feel Alrite...

Sway ppl, SWAY! hahahaha

Belly Happy!!

Haaaaa.......what a week end! Spent 7.5 hours learnin choregraphies in my BD workshops & oh boy, i am soo drained!! Both physically & mentally BUT deep down inside, i am soo nourished & inspired  ! The Inner Goddess has awaken, i am empowered by femininity n boy, I feel like a Woman!!!

It has been a real honour for me to participate in these workshops by two very A-M-A-Z-I-N-G dancers, Kaeshi from New York & Rose from Australia! I love the workshops (costed me $178 *gasp*)!! I thought Kaeshi's dance style was really dynamic, interplayin between classic BD moves with a lil flamenco twist while Rose indeed lives up to her Drum Solo Queen title, for her choreo.....*Ooohhh la la la*...she had tis "Crash Boom Bang" effect on me, i mean...i had a hard time tryin to follow up her moves because she was quite a sight to watch! Her every move is so sensual, her isolations are superb and so powerful, makes me feel like i juz wanna stop dancin n watch her strut her stuff...yes, she's That engagin!

The workshops are real eye openers and it makes me a lil sad because in Singapore, we hardly have any dancers/teachers who are as Amazing as these ladies, we are way way behind....kinda tragic. Hmm but at least, the teachers here do make an effort to expose students to foreign/master teachers who are really passionate and skilled, so yeah i'm thankful for that.

Oh and i managed to catch my ex-classmates from Kreta Ayer CC performin at the Youth Empowered National Carnival in Youth Park for the past two days too. And today, my dance partner performed her first solo there! I rushed there after my drum solo workshop juz to watch tis sweetie and She was lovely! i'm so VERY PROUD of Her!! Congratulations Jess ....i so wanted to join u on stage but....oh well...doesn't matter. U did Great!! And also, Congratulations to cuzzin Sitz & committee for runnin the carnival smoothly despite facin some complications & bad weather.

It's been a belly good week end for me, what more i managed to squeeze in some time to watch MU won 1-0 over Aston Villa with bf last nite (the match was quite a drag initially) and also a lil chillin good time with Anne, Firus & Mr Fyz over tea at Coffee Club, after my workshops today. U noe, the tea I had was simply delicious n soothin, nxt time u visit Coffee Club, ask for a pot of Strawberry Garden...it's fragrant & with a lil sugar, it's a perfect drink to infuse you with energy (i was really worn out today...Mr Fyz said i looked like i had a hangover...yeah rite, mabok on BD!!*LoL*) but mild enuff to keep u relaxed n sane after a tirin day....Ahhhh, Cheers~

 

 

Reminder to self: Practise practise practise....Onis, Chonks, Belly Rolls & Flutters

I feel so awake and alive at tis hour!! I haven't had tis euphoria for a few days already, it must be the Chocolate Amer cake from Bakerzin I had earlier...So Rich and packed with Endorphins i guess! Wheeeeee~

Been workin straight since i return from Phuket, these past few days, all i did was fold clothes and arrange shoe boxes for NikeWomen at Taka's Sports fair and gettin pissed off by inconsiderate customers who juz lurrvvve to toss around folded clothes n askin ridiculous questions! i feel kinda worn out from all dat BUT tonite i feel Energised! Whoaaa the effect of choclit really does wonders to me, even coffee can't trigger tis kinda feel! I LOVE CHOCLITS!! Oooo Choclit cakes i Love~

Met up wif my MDIS Bachelorettes tonite and had a lovely time catchin up wif each other. Ahahah they really gave me belated birthday pressies!! Hafi got me a Body Shop book on Well-Being, Liza bought me an exotic-lookin candle holder and Dee got me Rattan woven containers, oh plus she handed each of us an ethnic lil beaded bangle as gifts from Tioman...and my gifts from Phuket for them? Peanut candies! THANK YOU SWEETIES...i love all my pressies & ur great company! Gosh i'm like the motor mouth of the bunch today & i'm really sorry if i seem too kiddy or talkative today! blame it on the choclit cake! hehehhehe

With all the extra boost i had tonite, i finally cleared off the clutters on my bedroom floor. Now my bags are neatly arranged and my notes for last semester are all kept away under the dressin table! Even my study table is neater! ahhh...much contentment after much procrastination!

Ahah! Tomorrow our lil island celebrates her 40th birthday! Happy National Day to us!! Hmmm i heard many doodoodooooms but i fail to spot any fireworks from my kitchen window at midnite...bf was lucky, he managed to see it from his work place, he said it was really nice! NO FAIR!! he'll be able to see them again bein set off for the National Day Parade at his workplace tomorrow. So good! As for me, i'm lookin forward to my rest tomorrow after i knock off from work at 5.30pm. i can't wait to juz laze around or maybe clean up more of my room and catch NDP on tv!

I miss doin nothin and be in the state of idleness, and come to think of it, i don't have much time to, as my new semester will start in 2 weeks' time! And i'll be seein more Chemistry stuff! Urggghhh 2 modules of Chemistry shit for me tis comin semester and 1 Environmental Bio crap. I hope i can cope and do not have to re-take any of them like my Organic Chemistry module. I got it right tis time btw for dat dreaded Organic Chemistry papers, passed by 6 marks! Good God, how lucky.

Wow!! I didn't realise I blabbed quite alot tonite. Ok ok...enuff. It's been a good nite for me and even Lush has been good to me. It played "Aguas de Marcos" earlier...and it's so attuned to my mood! Ahhhh nice~

To my beloved homeland Singapore, HAPPY 40th BiRTHDAY & to my fellow Singapore citizens, let's REACH OUT FOR THE SKIES!!!

Cheers~

The Initial Step

Youth Empowered National Carnival 2005: The Initial Step!

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step…

I'm appealing for your support to help a group of enterprising youths take their initial steps in contributing to the society, specifically to the underprivileged youths in Singapore.

Be part of the Youth Empowered National Carnival 2005: The Initial Step!



What is it and what for?

The Initial Step is a charity carnival. During this carnival, we will also attempt to set a new Guinness world record through collection of the most number of footprints (from all visitors and participants) on a length of cloth. This will also be showcase of budding youth talents in the local music scene, with dedicated time slots for performances by various bands like The Breakfast Club and Trivalation etc. We are expecting at least 20000 people over this 2 day event at this youth hub.

In these 2 fun filled carnival days, students from 20 secondary schools Island wide are invited to manage carnival booths selling accessories, food and beverages. These students will be mentored by a member of the Singapore Polytechnic Student Union.

This event will

· Encourage social interaction between youths of different age groups (through the mentorship as well as on the day itself).

· Raise funds and awareness for the beneficiary, CARE Singapore

· Set a new world record!


Who is this beneficiary?

Established in 1997, CARE (Children-at-Risk Empowerment) is affiliated to neighborhood schools, catering to youth from different backgrounds and age groups. With various programs like SportsPower! (A program that reach out to students through sports) and YouthWorks! (An attachment program for secondary students), CARE hopes to reach out to youths through customized programs that alters according to different individuals. Being a non-profit organization, CARE will need funding to carry on providing these personalized services to the less privileged youths.

For more information, please see CARE's official website: http://www.care.sg/web/html/


Who organised this?

With the notion of youth-for-youth in mind, we are a group of youths with a shared vision of drawing fellow youths into altruistic causes. Our team is Sindrön, which was formed to participate in the Citibank-YMCA Youth for Causes 2005.


How can you participate?

1. Buy some coupons! (FROM ME! i've got a bunch of coupons to sell off)

You can get a piece of coupon for $10 or a booklet of coupons at $50 for yourself, your friends and family! These coupons are fully redeemable for purchases during the Carnival. So please, spread the love and support our youth! Please PM me or contact me at firestarlet@gmail.com if you would like to grab the coupons!



2. Be there!

To support the youth's effort and to contribute your right foot print for the Guinness World Record number of foot prints collected on a banner.

If you put out good (intentions, actions, words), the universe would sent it right back to you ten fold and possibly even gift wrapped. Maybe not immediately, not tomorrow, it may even take a few years...it will happen somehow, whenever.

Aaahh the tune is addictive! Hehehe!

This review is for the movie "Charlie & The Choclate Factory"

No other actors can bring out Eccentricity more than Johnny Depp! The movie is juz sooo ticklesome! Some ppl may find it trashy but it was Absolutely loooney for me! Love the concept of the movie...it's like a semi musical and its so colourful! The re-collaboration of Johny Depp & Freddie Highmore is juz sweet and the other children played their roles pretty well too! Overall its Fantastic!
