Yeah2, i know he is not that good looking. True, but sweet smile though
The song of break up? But when I heard David Cook’s interpretation of “Always Be My Baby”, I just couldn’t help it. I loved the arrangement. What a COOK!! Way to go man! For me, it was more like the song of hope, pretty and haunting! This is by far the best since Chris Daughtry and he is taking the front-runner position from the other David. He has taken a lot of cheesy songs on the show and turned them into something I would listen to. I will definitely be buying his CD. He really shows his own style off every week.
As you know besides being an amazing performance it was also an emotional one. His brother, Adam who is battling brain cancer flew out to see his little brother sing on the Idol stage. Crap I cried along with David Cook on that one. It's such a moving moment and they are such an amazing family who is worthy of all good fortune and our prayers
Verdict? There is just something about a man who can sing that lights my fire (so to speak). He's hot and he can sing. Now, that's sexy! Huhu. Well, David Cook still came in second though. The ultimate winner and my all time favourite is still the one who interprets "You and Me" that gave goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach.
This is Bay of Peninsular. The focus here is the cute lil clouds there.

It’s on days like today when the weather is gray and cloudy and air is fraught with moisture so thick that you can feel it caress your skin that I dream of going home. When it's not quite cold, but far from warm and the sun looses the battle for the sky to the clouds.
So I’ve lived at least 5000 miles away from my family for the last 3 years. I have a very big longing to see the sunshine and feel warm again. I'm not sure what it is about this city that is stirring this all up inside me. Feelings are going around my head like a cyclone, spinning off ideas, situations and scenarios. It is all too much. I can’t wait for the eye of the cyclone to hit. Things will be calm, placid and serene.
Just got back in Chch after 8 days travelling around NZ, and now am home alone. My lovely flatmate, MUN went back to Malaysia, and so did ALIF, TENGKUK, BOB and ARA. Jealousnyerrrr. If only I have the money, I’ll definitely make my way home. I’ve been homesick for a number of weeks now and I can’t seem to shake it. Point is I just want to go home
This is my niece, Aina (14months). I really miss her and her brother, Amirul (26 months) super duper fluper much. I guess my homesickness is justified aye?
Also this is my first attempt using photoshop. Thanks to MUN for the online tutorial. MUN, cepatlah balik sini.

You know when you think about someone and you want to call or txt them and you sit staring at your phone for like 30 minutes trying to decide what to send or if you should or not. I've been doing that lately. I just don’t want to be the disturbance when people are busy focusing on getting work done. But if they could not spare you the time, what makes you think they even think about you?
At this moment, I just awfully and miserably miss the company and the time when we talked. I thought there might be an email in my inbox, if not a ring after awhile. I thought it might occur to the mind to spend some speck of time for me. But, nothing. Nothing hurts more than realizing it meant everything to you, but you meant nothing when you turn the table. I should have known, since I am wayyyy out of league.
So, I am letting it rest. Not a long and greatly rewarding career as an aficionada but I don't want to overdo it and be a pest. Of course nobody made any promises so it is not hard to let go and look ahead. But try telling that to me. It is hard to say no to the one you think is the one. Moving on is simple, it's what you leave behind that makes it so difficult.
Well, it's not often that something or someone comes into your life that makes you seriously reconsider the things you want and need, or make you realize that what you thought you wanted is actually not the best thing for you at all. Our meeting may have only been brief, but it meant a lot to me, at least to me it does. Perhaps, it my case, the grass is still blue
Saturday, 8pm. The sunset faded and the lights went off. The temperatures were mild, in the high teens. The best part of being in Christchurch is that you were plunging the whole world in Earth Hour. Christchurch did not go blackout for an hour, but it seems dimmer last night. True, it did not make a dent in global emission but it engages people to become more energy efficient. Some might said, it is a little too late, but I don’t care. Even if what I did was just a drop in the ocean, I was extremely wound up by it. Sometimes in life, you need to follow your gut instinct and let life take a path that is beyond your recognition and not comprehending the benefits involved. So yup, yeay to Earth Hour 2008.
And also, those who didn't see last night match between Man Utd and Aston Villa, go to footytube and watch Ronaldo's goal. It was simply awesome. Glory glory Man Utd

EARTH HOUR 2008
|
|
PLEASE DO READ THIS!!
Here’s to life
EARTH HOUR is happening again this year but on a global scale. Basically all we need to do is to turn off lights and electrical appliances for one hour from 8 to 9 pm, March 29, 2008, to promote electricity conservation and thus lower carbon emissions. This is an opportunity for each one of us to take action, influence others and start a wave of change that alters the course of climate change.
You might ask what the point is of just switching off for a once-a-year event and that, it is what you do every day that counts and I would totally agree. However, I can’t help being inspired when people decide to put their heads together and demonstrate how they feel about an important issue. An event like this also shows that a positive message can spread far and wide and we all have the ability to effect change.
Last year event in Sydney reduces the city’s energy consumption by 10.2 percent for that hour, equivalent to taking 48,000 cars off the road for an hour. Awesome aye? Imagine the effect on a global scale!
Now, the momentum is building for Earth Hour—8 to 9 pm, March 29, 2008. So, sign up for Earth Hour 2008 SIGN UP Come on, let’s do our share. By flicking the switch, turning appliances off stand-by and enjoying an hour of quiet darkness.
This is Milford Sound, a long, narrow bay with steep sides, created in a valley, carved in a glacial period by a glacier moving from the top region of the mountains to the sea.
| Quote: | Re: Tucker: Funnily, you put the finger yourself on the correct counter-argument : awareness. Speaking for myself, Earth Hour does not make me think that I need to go right back to prehistoric ages to make a difference about global warming; just that the way I use energy can make a difference. You do know that last year’s event, only in Sydney, had the same effect as taking 48 000 cars off the road? That’s more than enough to make me think that using eco-energetic lightbulbs (13 watts instead of 60 watts) does make a difference. That’s a waterdrop in the ocean, but the ocean is made of waterdrops.
But there's nothing wrong about this collective effort. It teaches us the simple steps we can take in our everyday lives and helps us to make a difference together. For me, if we can achieve this as a nation, we can actually make a massive difference in the long run. The mutual step is always the hardest to take, but once we get moving, the momentum created by the hopes of the world will drive us to take giant leaps in the name of mankind. |

Feliz cumpleaños
|

Candle time! Happy Birthday to me, though I must say I am not really looking forward to it. The celebration was fun, but certain events have put me back into this melancholy state and I hate it. I was hoping to be happy for the at least 24 hours, but alas, there’s no more milestones to celebrate and no more opportunities to have fun without worrying about something else.
Nonetheless hugs to all, especially my precious classmates for throwing me a party. I was pretty bummed out earlier but the sadness vanished a little when I walked in and saw you guys. As always, you guys rock!
Also, thank you so much to all of you who blew up my cell and e-mail with birthday love. It means more to me this year than ever to know so many people who really care. Some of you wait till midnight for these things? It’s nice. It would be nicer if I could get hold of you beb, and let you wish me as well. You know who you are. Well, not that it's matter since you won't be reading this afterall.
Big thanx to those who send me birthday card this year.. Huhu

Suicidarse
|
|
So life does seem to hit you all at once. Well not everything in life turns out the way you plan or even close to that. This month has been extremely horrendous. I have been struggling for the past weeks with what to do and how to feel about it all. I feel at a loss and empty inside. I never expected this dreadful drama to haunt me like this. How could one do this to me? I was caught off guard. I am horribly confused, though, as to why I have to endure gratuitous mistreatment from right now. Telling you the truth one small thought happens to cross my mind. To commit suicide, nauzubillah hi min zaliq. It starts as just a flicker in amongst your uncertainty, but then keeps blinking in the back of your mind. I really need to get this suicidal idea out of my system, if you actually consider consequences and feelings that might crop up afterwards. I know better. I wish all these could be erased and the pain will go away eventually. Please make all of these go away, please. All I wanted to do now is to go back to Malaysia, be with my family. I tried to relax, tried to hang out with friends, tried to be busy, tried my very best to ignore all these crap, but I failed. Perhaps I should prostrate more.
True Allah doesn't give you something that you can’t handle. It could have been worst. But I am not that strong afterall. Things are slipping out of my hands, and I do not know how far more I could hold up. I would love to have someone, even just one person, who knows what I feel and can at least sympathize, if not empathize, with it.

I met Richard, when I went to get a warrant of fitness for my car. He showed me his PSP and challenged me to play this game called LocoRoco and it is unbelievably a weird game yet so cute and very addictive. It’s a puzzle game so to speak, you’re this big blobby like thing and you have to move your way through the world, yet there’s more to it than that, you’ve got to tilt the screen to move your little blob about or shake it to make them jump, and sometimes you’ll find yourself too big to fit through a gap so you break it up into smaller blobs. It’s very challenging and lots of fun I have to admit. The cute thing about it is that they sing this very strange song, but it’s cute at the same time. If you’re a lone blob he sings by himself but if you break your blob into multiple blobs they all sing as a group. I keep on using the word cute, since I am out of my vocabulary. Am I being childish? Huhu
This is Paihia, part of Bay of Islands. Love this place, since it is very peaceful, soothing and the beaches are still virgin. Credit to Ila as the photographer.

Salam
Here I am...
Again some of you might say. Yes, yes, I know it's strange having one and delete it, and now creating a new one. Sengal juga la. Anyway, sooo, here's the new version, which will hopefully become a little hive of activities/sceneries (woah there, don't start day-dreaming!). But mind you, the photos might be just taken from my old collections.
Anyhow it is still a good idea to start a new one aye? (After all this while, let me have some fun too will you?) . So, let the fun commence...
This is Christchurch, the place where I am now stuck in. A beautiful place, I admit. But my heart is not here anymore. Shots taken after Subuh during winter season at the Sumner beach.
