Relentlessly Holdin On

Tis past week had been quite crazy at work, rushed & hushed. All's not goin too well, even the manager felt the crunch. So much so that she lamented "We need a HI-TEA!" and that's what we did on Fri, stress therapy in the pantry with cakes, ice-creams, fruits & tea. Major need of comfort food...and that's a prelude to all good food to come in the week end!

Oh and i finally ran 3km after all that eating in the pantry but soon after burnin those calories, food indulgence resumed. It continued with catchin up with my secondary sch galpals at Giraffe, then hangin out with Raf, Dee and Missy Liz on Saturday followed by Sheida's PiNK birthday celebration at Seoul Garden. My Faraid class ended today so we had a lil makan-makan too before I met up with my maternal younglings at Raffles City to grab some donuts from J.Co to munch on at the gig by Amateur Takes Control at Esplanade. We plonked into SOur Puss for dinner afterwards and my God, tomorrow will be another makan session with the Man Bitch & his sweet girlfriends.

Music by Amateur takes Control really grows on me..the last time i caught them, it was at The Art House, that time it was a solo opening act for The Brandals. Today, there was a whole band and my, my very nice! My young cuzzins were also enjoyin the music. Sour Puss played Janet Seidel..i was in MY zone...what a nice way to end the week end.

Tomorrow till God noes when, work will be hell. Just gotta keep on breathin despite all tis achin from my running AND despite all the happenings goin on, i Miss my TOKYO boy lah. He's totally enjoyin his trip, i noe. Can't make phone calls as often we wish we could, and i hardly see him online too. Enjoy all the sakuras (not sakura-chans eh!*show fist*) while it last, i'll be sloggin my ass here in SG while awaitin ur return.Aren't u a lucky devil to escape all my bitchin & whining? heh. i so noe i'll be dead beat from tomorrow onwards, it'll be hectic but i'll SUCK IT ALL IN! Grrr

have a lovely new week everyone!

Muhammad the Last Prophet of God

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Animation

Salam Maulidur Rasul! A link to these animations have been my MSN subnick for the longest time since Iyuan showed me to them, but i guess it is real approriate to share the vids with all of u here on Multiply, in conjunction of the Prophet's birth month, Rabiul Awwal in the Muslim calendar (his birthday was yesterday, 12th Rabiul Awwal).

May these videos take u closer to get to noe who is and how Muhammad saw is like, he who raised from an illiterate shepherd to someone so worthy to emulate & the shining beacon of Islam! It took me years to learn his History but these brilliantly done videos summed it up real well, and u can learn abt him and what he & his followers went thru in less than a day! Masya Allah! Make some time to watch them ok :)

Enjoy the videos my friends, Muslims & non-Muslims alike. There's many many lessons in life u can find in them

And yes, Mr Ross has put up these vids in Malay version on his video site as well, do check those out for those who prefers their animation in that language, startin from tis page: http://rosswaja.multiply.com/journal/item/729/Muhammad_Utusan_Terakhir_Part_1
Also, Hafi recommends www.maulid.sg for more info in commeratin the Prophet saw and Ameera, touched the depth of my heart with her entry on the tribute to the Prophet. pls check out her article at: http://socialpest.multiply.com/journal/item/45/Tribute_to_Rahmatan_LilAlamin_SAW_-_01_Rabiulawal

Jazakallahu Khair to those who contributed and everybody!

Butt Ache@Pulau Ubin

The past couple of weeks have been rather grey and rainy, includin today but we were truly blessed yesterday...the Sun was beaming and the Clouds were all floatin nicely in the glorious blue sky, while we were at Pulau Ubin!

THEME SONG FOR THE DAY:

Referrers

After reading souldollsgarage's blog entry today, i decided to do a search on Yahoo search & Google for my user Id: firestarlet. The last time I googled, almost every firestarlet traced back to my Multiply site or my responses to other Multiply users but today, using the new Yahoo search i had new stumbling upons, which i thought was rather startling.

I never knew that anyone or website administrator would keep tab of the usage statistics of my site, so when i found my Multiply journal being in the Top 100 of 1380/1371 Total Referrers over Dec 07(no.55) and Jan 08(no.59) respectively at some site,i was Shocked! My first reaction was WHAT in the world IS a REFERRER? After readin a few definitions, i am still ..obviously i dun quite understand what the definition means. Hmmm one of them is:

Referrer- Used in Web analytics, it is the URL or IP address that tracks where a visitor to a Webpage originated (e.g., previous page, link from another Web site, or search engine

The next question is WHAT is WEB ANALYTICS?

A generic term meaning the study of the impact of a Web site on its users. E-commerce companies often use Web analytics software to measure such concrete details as how many people visited their site, how many of those visitors were unique visitors, how they came to the site (i.e., if they followed a link to get to the site or came there directly), what they searched with on the site's search engine, how long they stayed on a given page or on the entire site, what links they clicked on and when they left the site. Web analytic software can also be used to monitor whether or not a site's pages are working properly. With this information, Web site administrators can determine which areas of the site are popular and which areas of the site do not get and can then use this data to streamline a site to create a better user experience.

Can somebody pls explain to me tis Referrer word in a simpler/layman term to me?

Ouh and i was surprised to find out that i am a member to tis Music Community called Soundclick but it all came back to me, when i saw the group's name of the soundclip that started playin the moment i click on the site. 

Check out, check out: http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=firestarlet

Listen hard and u might juz recognise these Femme Fatales in ur contacts! teehee...i ain't tellin who they r!! 

And if u happen to stumble the user Id firestarlet at www.ahintofseduction.com Forum, pls take note that it is NOT ME.

MARCHin on...

How quickly time passes...we are into the 1st quarter of 2008! Hoho! I haven't done much writings and am pretty much occupied with juggling work, weddings, class n perhaps catchin up with a certain few. heh.

So juz a quick update before I scoot to the Wise Up to Money seminar...February's been quite eventful... a certain news was blurted out to me, that made me wanna shake-up my priorities and get off tis slack track. After the missed opportunities of workin for both the Stem Cells lab & Creative Kids, i decided to reverse the buggings of workin full-time in my current company with my manager. so instead of my manager buggin me to convert, i decided to bug her to quickly employ me! hah yes, after a few negotiations...hurhur...yes lah, i'm back workin full-time at this very same company, contributin my verve to churnin out more HIV and other infectious disease diagnostic kits...with a way better pay tho i missed out last year's AWS and performance bonus! hehehe nvr mind...Alhamdulillah!! i noe, it's not somethin that i fancy, not even my dream job but hey, with a reasonable pay tis time to keep me motivated and after weighin out the pros n cons, i say...Just Do It man *thanx Ned, Dee & Mesye for ur lil advices*! things are lookin up anyway over here, production volume is multiplyin n week end's been fbusy with OT! OT! so yes i guess, things are settlin in...but no more 4 day work and lil week day rendezvous or photoshoots with mesye...oh well, for a greater good, we shall grit our teeth n bear with it!!

and good news too abt my mum...her biopsy results came out as negative for breast cancer...so phewww another Alhamdulillah and great relief for me as well!

fitness wise...i have braved myself to sign up for weekly runs ard Science Park...3km for a start..in 2 weeks, hee i've even gotten myself new shoes!! gotta work on my physiques again man, lil wonder why i've put on extra flabs ard my tummy n arm and sufferin from knee pains etc*blame it all on those yummy food!*. sheesh only 26, and becomin like an old hag already..pain here, pain there...ache here, ache there..tired ever so easily! gotta do somethin before my sedentary lifestyle consumes me...completely!

so hee..if u dun hear from me much in March, excuse me while i go thru a lil revampin in my Life department!

cheers my dears and have a great start to March too!
