this day marks the day that I made a decision which is crucial to us...
All I wanted to say I'm not impulsive in making this decision...
I hope that I made a right decision after all the considerations and hope the better future of us.

Taking Chances

Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world but
Don't wanna be alone tonight
On this planet they call Earth

You don't know about my past and
I don't have a future figured out
And maybe this is going too fast
And maybe it's not meant to last

But what do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold or hell to pay
What do you say? What do you say?

I just wanna start again
And maybe you could show me how to try
Maybe you could take me in
Somewhere underneath your skin

What do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold or hell to pay
What do you say? What do you say?

Hey now, hey, my heart is beating down
But I'm always coming back for more, yeah
There's nothing like love to pull you up
When you're lying down on the floor, babe

So talk to me, talk to me like lovers do
Yeah walk with me, walk with me like lovers do
Like lovers do

~lyrics from Celine Dion - Taking Chances

I came. I climbed. I conquered.

Oooh... I finally did something I've been wanting to do since I was young...Vertical Challenge!
not that bad... climbed 63 storeys high...
and the feeling was GREAT! when u finally reach the finishing point, it looks like heaven... the view was GREAT too.... the sea, the buildings surrounding from the very top... too bad no pictures are allowed to be taken... sigh...
the even greater things was the support and the cheers!
my sis accompanied me going for this event and she had to wake up as early as me to get there....
thanks sis!
and also climbing at mid-point, u hear ppl cheering and clapping from above and saying "SOON! SOON! COME COME! ADD OIL!"... that's really motivating...
and when u reaching 60th storey, u will see the LIGHT! and u know, just a few more steps and all this will be over :)
Yay! I'm proud to say that I've done it!!!
Next up, Mount KK!!! haha...

And then there was one....

email account...
ahhh... and now I have like tonnes of it... be it hotmail, yahoo or gmail...zzz
dunno which username and password for each of the email accounts... cham lor...
just started my gmail account only... becoz I got a brand new phone and need google account for start. so I got no choice to start another brand new account..
but then i just lovin' it... luckily I didn't go for iphone, like everybody else does..
didn't regret my choice of my android phone and it was within my budget too
but it was really a steep learning curve to use this phone and I was discussing my phone with my bro coz we are using the same OS system...exchanged what nice apps to use etc...
my family was commenting that i bought this phone with impulse... cannot wait for the one month contract to be over... and a bit like my bro also... haha...
I really buy things on impulse... kinda make me happy of owning it too :)

Superheroes

Over the weekend went to watch Ironman 2 in cinema...
seriously, I've never missed out any Marvel or DC superheroes movie in the cinema...
except the hulk... haha.. coz I never liked the greenie and angry superpower hero...he looks more like a villain to me than hero...
Actually all superheroes movie are almost the same i guess.. There's villains, there's hot babes, there's fighting-bang! boom! pow! wham!... there's nothing unexpected in the end coz superheroes always win! if they don't win, you will be bloody disappointed right? like how can the villains win and rule over the world etc...
so, ironman 2 was no exception...
but stay tune until the very end of the film credits...thanks to the aunty sitting beside us telling us that there's still some clip at the end...it's a slight preview of what is the next superhero movie out in cinemas... not that soon though...mayb gotta wait for another year or so :)

Happy Mother's Day

This Sunday is Happy Mother's Day...
so remember to give ur mom a good wish...
show that u care for her very very much :)

so, sempena this mother's day,
wanna try to write something for my mom...
though I think I can;t write a good one,
but still I try my best...=P

"How lucky I am born to someone like you,
To feel loved and cared for,
You gave me the best of everything,
You taught me how to love,
How to be a good person like you.
You were always there for me no matter what,
You give me hug when I needed comfort,
You give me wisdom when I needed advice,
You mean more than anything in this world,
You will always be in my heart,
I really love you mom,
Thank you for loving me"

Something About You

I don't know what you do to me,
but everytime I'm with you,
it's a natural high
It's like rediscovering Eden,
with chocolate coated rainbows and cotton candy skies
And everytime you look my way,
I wish I had the guts to say

There's something in your eyes,
Something in your smile,
Something in the way you move me
You make me want to sing,
make me want to dance,
make me want to cry
I'm falling in love with you

I think I'll hire Cupid
He'll make you see I'm more than your friend
You'll be tossing and turning,
counting the hours till you see me again
And when we meet,
you'll kiss my hand,
and say the words I've longed to hear

There's something in your eyes,
something in your smile,
something in the way you move me
You make me want to sing,
make me want to dance,
make me want to cry
I'm falling in love with you

~lyrics from Corrinne May-Something About You

Zamina mina Zangalewa

really got addicted to this song featured in Shakira's Waka Waka (Time for Africa)...
this song will be featured as World Cup song 2010 as well...
the phrase and rhythm is too catchy...

"Zamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Zamina mina zangalewa
anawam ah ah

jungoh eh eh
jungoh eh eh"

it was originated from Cameroon...
check it out here for the history of this song...

ahhh... it's too addictive coz it's really fun singing and dancing with it :p

Opera or musical?

How do you differentiate between opera or musical?
Here's what I've found out and putting it in layman terms...
Opera uses music to tell the entire story, even when two actors are speaking to each other, they use lyric and music to express...
Musical is plainly using music as background of the story... they also sing some parts of it, but also have some normal conversation speaking moments...

Recently have been a little artsy... I listened to this great Boston channel on classical music and their website has this recorded opera singing on "Madame White Snake". Feel free to listen to it...

Someday I should spend my time and money to go watch an opera...

World Cup 2010

1. English version (by K'naan)
   




2. English/Spanish version (by K'naan & David Bisbal)

The Cat & The Mouse

Yesterday, saw a black cat and a little mousie..
The cat was eying the mouse for quite sometime and going to hunt it down...
And the kaypoh me, go and shoo the cat away...

Hmm...
After the "good cause" that I have done, I was thinking probably I shouldn't have interrupted it?
My initial intention was not wanting the cat killing the mouse...
But then come to think of it, maybe I shouldn't have interrupt the nature?
It's natural for the cat to kill the mouse...
After all, mice are dirty creatures and could be disease carrier...
Maybe the cat was hungry too and I go and ruin its dinner meal...

ok lah...The above is small issue only...
But I just love to position myself into dilemmas after what I've done in whatever the things that I do...
There's always two sides in every matter/issue...
Neither correct or wrong also...
But just in future, probably I just need to 'bo chap' in issues that is not related to me...Don't be a KAY POH CHEE!! hehe

Like The Wind

I liked part of the lyrics, especially this:
來又如風 離又如風 或世事通通不過是場夢
translate: comes like the wind, leaves like the wind, or everything was but a dream

I really felt I was dreaming...
thanks to you :) I liked the dream...
You are just like the wind...Gone with the wind~
and I have woke up from this dream...

to my chingu: wow! u've read my mind very well leh... I was recently thinking about the "gone with the wind" part... and u send this song to me... haha thanks wor...

Happy Birthday Week :)

dedicate this song to my family :)
I'm blessed to have you in my life.. truly blessed..
To the love of my life:

Classic Joke

This morning me played a classic joke on anonymous caller..

Me: Hallo...
Anonymous caller: (hesitated a few seconds)喂!請問你會聽懂華語嗎?
Me: 不會.

and I put down the phone after that...haha

It's annoying for these callers to call your number...and I don't even know how they got my number...

Rösti

haha... mink's first attempt at Rösti...
it's been a long time since mink cooked...
not that bad...only it looks like a giant piece of hash brown...and if I used butter, could have been a better taste :)

fyi, Rösti is a Swiss dish...so far I only saw it selling at Marche...

at first, wanted to try out cooking this and do again for next week for my sis's birthday brunch... but then, mana tahu sis today didn't go for work and I made this for her lunch...dang! no surprise already...

All Or Nothing

thanks my friend, for sending me this link and dedicate this song...love it!

Note: Originally sang by O-Town, and was also sang by Westlife... I've always love the original version

Ice Kacang Puppy Love

let's support this local production film~
i like the title of the movie... hehe...
ice kacang puppy love~

一個人久了，是會上癮的

saw a lot of friends sharing this over at fb...
so I shared it over here as well :)

一個人久了，會懶得戀愛
一個人久了，朋友會越重要
一個人久了，電話會常常忘記帶
一個人久了，就會養成一個怪癖
一個人久了，對愛情會越來越挑剔

一個人久了，除了寂寞點外還是蠻開心的
一個人久了，會慢慢變得成熟起來
一個人久了，會比以前更重視更愛父母，更重視親情
一個人久了，對所有的節日大多沒甚麼期待
一個人久了，聽到看到別人一對對的很甜蜜，心裡多少還是會有些介意

一個人久了，會喜歡買很多無謂東西，帶自己去很多很遠的地方
一個人久了，會覺得無拘無束自由自在天寬地廣
一個人久了，愛情會變得越來越不重要，取而代之的是錢和事業
一個人久了，會越來越理性，越來越現實

總之，一個人久了，即使有一點點無聊和寂寞
但是游走在自己的街道上
甚麼都可以無所謂 沒有任何束縛

可是原來。。。
一個人久了，是會上癮的。。。

You Are My Exception!

One of my favorite couple in "He's Just Not That Into You" movie
Alex & Gigi

Quote from the movie clip:

Gigi: A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen no matter what..
that same wise person told me that I'm a RULE, that I have to stop thinking that every guy will change... that i have to stop thinking that ...(Alex interrupts and kisses Gigi).... I'm the EXCEPTION

Alex: You are my EXCEPTION~

Awwww! Look at Alex's eyes on Gigi...so so romantic lah...

How Peculiar

Funny incident just happened to me just now while i was on my way back from school...
I sat on the bus, adjusting my big fat butt on the seat...
Then this indian guy sitting next to me, was looking at me...
seeing that he was looking at me, I just sheepishly smiled at him...
he approached me by saying, "you look familiar..you've always take from this bus stop..u from that faculty?"
we talked all the way till we parted at the mrt station...
and that's how i get to know a complete stranger...
