Song Of The Day
This tune has been on my mind for the
good part of the last week or so...
and its still playing in my head
when i woke up this morning and
it would probably be there again
when i go to bed later...
Well.....,
you get the idea...
DUA INSAN
by M.Nasir & Yunizar
Bila kau senyum ku gembira
Bila kau sedih ku menangis
Bagaikan taman rindukan kumbang
Ku rindu padamu Oh sayang
Ke mana saja kau berada
Ku kan tetap bersamamu
Walaupun jasadmu jauh
Namun hatimu dekat selalu
Walau kini halangan menimpa
Kerna cinta ada ku tetap setia
Hanya dikau dan asmara
Membuat diriku bagai dalam syurga
Biar masa berganti masa
Biarpun musim berubah
Telah ku nyatakan padamu Oh sayang
Hanya kuasa Tuhan
Dapat memisahkan
Jika kau tanya pada rembulan
Mengapa cahya berseri-seri
Nanti jawabnya kepadamu
Kerna dikau cinta padaku
Ku persembahkan kepadamu
Sekuntum bunga mawar merah
Kau terima sambil tersenyum
Kerna dikau cinta padaku
Bila saja halangan menimpa
Kerna cinta ada ku tetap setia
Hanya dikau dan asmara
Membuat diriku bagai dalam syurga
Dua insan sedang bercinta
Dua insan berjanji setia
Telah ku katakan padamu Oh sayang
Hanya Kuasa Tuhan
Dapat memisahkan

Its a beautiful Sunday......
Sundays
are always the best day to stay home.
My typical Sunday
always starts with marketing and
ends with a pair of tired feet
that begs to be massaged!
And today's no better of than any other
Sundays.....
So, laze around, channel surfing,

Story Of The Donkey
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,
he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well
and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
NOW --------Enough of that crap . . .
The donkey later came back, and bit the shit out of the farmer who
had tried to bury him.
The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died
in agony from septic shock.
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass,
it always comes back to bite you.

Summary of the Weekend......
Isn't it weird.......
You anticipate with much bated breath for the long weekend ahead.....
You anticipate with much bated breath for the long weekend ahead.....
Meticulously mapping out your "What To Do-s" and what-nots.
You can literally smell the sweet scent of "worklessness" even in your sleep...
But when the days finally hit you, you'd almost always end up
doing stuff that was not even on the list to begin with.
And somehow you get sucked into it all,
knowing at the back of your head,
this is not what u signed-up for....
blah!
Saturday ~
Nothing extraordinary...
We went to my mom's, just a few blocks away,
for lunch.
Had yummy Fish HeadCurry,
tho Keerook did'nt had any as he is simply
not an ardent fan of consuming
fish-parts with loads of bones
or anything with loads of bones
for that matter.
Besides Abah has not seen us for quite awhile,
since he's working shifts and all.
So we came, eat, yap
and took a slow stroll back home curry and all...
Sunday ~
Stayed home for most of the day.
Did the usual chores, laundry, gardening.. yadda..yadda..yadda..
@ around 6, Keerook told me that
Vec and fam were going to catch the fireworks thingy
and he asked us to join them.
Sounds like a neat idea, so off we went...
And keeping with the trend
of not ending up doing what u were supposed to
on your workless day,
we ended up getting stuck in traffic and
only managed to catch the last few miserable seconds
of the fireworks just as we got off the bus...
>(
Monday ~
The marketing that wasn't.
Could'nt get most of the essentials on the list
as most of the shops were either closed or out of it,
being a Monday and all.
We ended up buying some lotus root, shitake mushrooms
and a friendly neighbourhood pandan cake
which looked extraordinarily yummy to me
at that moment that i just had to get it
And all those stuff were not even on the list.
Lunch was a brief affair of Tempura
Finally,
we're going to do something that's actually on the list.
"Celebrating Our Existence"- a LioncityHardcore Showcase.
Met up with Matno and Betty @ Bangkit LRT
and headed for Cuppage Plaza, the gig venue.
While the guys did their setting up and all,
me and Betty took time out at OG and Robinsons.
Met up with our significant others a little later on
and went back to the venue.
All in all the gig was ok, good crowd but sucky venue.
It was stated as Nexus Auditorium on the promos.....
but upon reaching there the ACTUAL place
where the gig was going to be held in
was nothing more than a mere classroom
with a whiteboard to boot "conveniently"
located near the toilets......
YES!!!!
Lliterally the 'bilik kecik blakang jamban' scenario.
This was also the first ever gig
which i attended that the band members' spouses
had to pay!
And I'm only there for Keerook's band
and I had to pay 6 bucks!!!!
I know it's not a megaload amount,
but if you saw the set-up and venue and all the stuff
that add up to it you'd know why I'm a very pissed about it.
I didn't catch the rest of the bands as we came up
just in time before Stampede took the floor.
Its been almost 4 years since
Keerook last took the stage with Stampede and
with it being the band's 10th year of existence and all,
this was a significant comeback gig of sorts.
Had dinner with the rest of the guys next door at
Orchard Plaza
before cabbing our way back home.

My Keeroooookkkkkkkkkkkk....................
I lurrrvvvveeeee my Keerook..........
For he never fails to
~ perk me up whenever I'm feeling a tad
homicidal towards whatever ills
~ makes my existence all the more crazy and
beautiful all at once
~ be there for me whenever the walls
come crumbling down
~ light a beacon of solace that guides
me to calmer waters
~ savour my cooking to the very last morsel
with loads of devotion
In return,
I shall
*ahem*
reward him with what I'm best at

MAMAMIA!!!!
Geez! Looks pretty good, if I do say so myself...!
It's my first attempt, mind you!
It took me a week to get all the ingredients in order
(solely because I had difficulties getting beras basmati.
Bila nak, takder.... Bila taknak, maner2 kedai ada stock!)

Dinner Woes?
"What to cook? What to cook? What to cook?"
Ever since we've got our own crib,
settled in good and all,
one of my often repeated,
if not MOST repeated mantra is,
none other than
"What's for dinner? What to cook?"
I've never deem cooking
as a chore.
Instead, it's more of stress-reliever,
a mental-threapy of sorts,
the 'always-look-forward-to-routine-thingy'
at the end of the day.....
Especially after a long day at work,
nothing beats cooking-up a good meal
and enjoying it
with your loved ones
(aaaawwwww.....)
It doesn't always have to be
something grand,
sometimes less can indeed
be more....
much more....
Besides Keerook is a huge fan of my cooking :)
Weird thing is,
the 'toughest' part of the cooking process
is not the actual labour
that goes on in the kitchen
but the quest for the
million-dollar answer
to the
billion dollar question:-
What to prepare for dinner tonite?
And as soon as you're done with the
evening's gutt-fillers,
right after the first major burp,
an all too familiar
tune starts its merciless replay,
"Now whats for dinner tomorrow?"
Uwaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!
Somebody helpppppp...........

National Day
Ahhh......
National Day
is upon us again (what else is new?)
No, no, no....
Nothing patriotically flag-waving
to crow about,
I'm just looking forward to the
long weekend....
(aren't we all?))
Yes!
I AM in a total need of a break.
Bad.....
Oh Boy!
Saturday, Sunday, Monday......
3 consecutive, mouth-watering days
of being away from
work.
Don't you just lurrrveeeee
long weekends?
Late nites.... Sleep-ins.... fish-huggings.....
Can someone puhleeessssseeeee speed the clock up?
Well, not TOO fast....,
just bring it forth to
Friday
would be neat.
In the meantime.....
Should I utilise my
annual leave
instead?
