Beauty & The Beast

Folks, le missy ish back from teh land next to Temasik. And she's ready for le musical tonight that descended upon le Malaysiana shores recently. ta daaa~



Yesterday wash le webmeiester's 23 years coming of age, so let me wish him happy burfday on le bloggie. "Happy birthday, pumpkin! Many happy returns!" And yesh, le musical iz moi present to le webmeiester. Hope ya like it, dude~

Me trip to JB was great, though most of the time after work, me and ma swashbuckling mates would rather hole up in our comfy and spacious room. Umm.. i missh le bed oledi.. But, it's way better to be home!

Yesterday was also the quadruple celebration of 3 people's birthdays (webmeiester + his otosan + his auntie) plus a couple's (Uncle Ali & Aunt Zarina's) wedding anniversary. We partied the night out ala oldies stylo. nO.. we ain't wild. We had fun the good ol' way - dance! It was the best hair letting party I've ever had, we actually did the twist, line dance, limbo rock and the must-have rock & roll to all those retro songs courtesy of the awesome band there. Shall steal some pictures to post up soon. :P

till da next post, toodles~

Striving to be better

June is coming to an end, and not a day passes by without me worrying. I question my self-worth at times.. yet I do understand that waiting is also part of the game.. the cycle of life.

Life is not an easy decision to make, so I learnt from the drama. We veer off the path from time to time, and we also steer ourselves back on track. We just try... and try again. That's what life is all about, trial and error. There ain't much miracles such as a hole-in-one or a bull's eye shot.

I do not know if what I'm doing is correct along the path of my own life.. I make mistakes. I just keep trying and trying again. I pondered back and thought many times, had I put in more effort in school, I'd be better off now, won't I? Yet, how can I be sure? I do know that I've given my best shot in every battle. It's tiring to be strong all the time. I want to give up, and hide under the covers. And perhaps that is why I teared when yankumi said:

"It's all right to show a bit of weakness sometimes."

And she said hell loads of things that made my tear ducts run dry. dang yankumi. you are so spot-on... you soothed my soul, and allayed my fears. arigatou, sensei...

When they say watcing TV makes you stupid, I wonder what they meant. I find watching dramas like this inspiring and encouraged me to look into my own life, my own actions. It propels me to decide that I want to be better, to stop blaming myself and instead start looking forward.

I may not be the brightest around, but I know.... I have that thing inside me, that makes me human. I'll get my shot in life someday, yeah.. I will. That's why I'm singing to this song. :)

出頭天 /五月天

在我的天頂 甘有人會看見 看到我不甘願這樣過一生

在我的一生 我甘願來相信 每一朵花都有自己的春天

在我的天頂 大雨落不停 也不能改變到我的固執

永遠等待 那一日 咱可以出頭天 人生不怕風浪 只怕自己沒志氣

那一日 咱可以出頭天 我盼望的日子 會真快 來到我身邊

在我的天頂 甘有人在保佑 怎樣我常常摔的頭殼流血

血乾會結痂 失敗也不失志 成功是咱自己看自己得起

飄浪的日子 等待著時機 我不信命運會這麼無情

永遠等待 那一日 咱可以出頭天 人生不怕風浪 只怕自己沒志氣

那一日 咱可以出頭天 我盼望的日子 會真快 來到我身邊

Gokusen Banzai~

I never could bring myself to like Matsumoto Jun, that is, up till I watched Gokusen recently. I just love jdorama with school settings, and Gokusen fits the bill perfectly. Do watch it, it made me laugh and cry so hard and went gaga over Jun for the first time as he starred as Sawada Shin. Love his character so much... so kakkoi and kawaii.. Love Yankumi too, though it's a bit hard to bear her geeky moments at times. hee. Awfully wished Shin & Yankumi would end up together.. that would be so kawaii~

There are plenty parts to watch out for, such as the unforgettable fake spaghetti scene which was utterly hilarious, the geeky dance and so many kawaii boys like Uchii (Oguri Shun), Noda, Kuma and of course Shin! If you're lucky, you might even spot Kenichi Matsuyama who acted as L in Death Note.

Gokusen II, here I come~

(No more Jun, but there's Kazuya Kamenashi from Kat-tun!)

Sawada-kun~ daisuki da ne!


Yankumi~
The yakuza teacher I'd die for.

Yankumi, love you to bits.. you taught me lessons in life that I do not wish to forget..

Thankful

I feel thankful for the little little things that happen to me and around me now and then. Perhaps not as often as I wanted, especially when I lose my head and let events influence my stand. But still sufficient for me to see the brighter side of the world, and today just happens to be one of these blessed days.

I'm thankful to the friend who called me up on his way to work and made a date with me next week. You are priceless. Thank you.

I'm thankful to the person who actually remembered me and insisted on giving me the shirt, telling me I deserve it. Just when I thought the others had left me out yesterday. Thank you.

I'm thankful for the friend that constantly mothers me around in office. You're such a dear. Thank you.

I'm thankful for the quiet day that I had all to myself in the normally crowded room, it gave me opportunity to clear my head and tell myself to be brave and look forward. Thank you.

I'm thankful for that someone for not buzzing me to hand up the work. Maybe she's forgotten, and it gave me enough inspiration to conceive an idea for my future project. Thank you.

I'm thankful that the dinner I prepared turned out ok. Thank goodness for no charred remains. And at least one got a nod of approval from her. Hopefully I'll get more chances to cook for her. Thank you.

So many blessed little things to be thankful for... may there be more to come. :)

Workless days beckons... not!

Have I left an indelible print in you?

I promised myself that I'll make sure nobody fills my shoes...

Have I done it..?

Wow.. it's been a long while since I really blog. So far, nothing's new. Perhaps I'll be facing some imminent jobless days after the end of this month though. lolx. Sure hope I'll get hooked on a job soon.

Anyhow, I'm glad my industrial training days are coming to an end though. I'll miss some of the nice people there. There're only a handful, haha... which is pretty sad. Most of those who actually took the effort to remember my name and not go "eh.... trainee!" have been asking when's my last day.

Ya... I actually go a bit fuzzy when they do that. Because I'm touched that they cared. At least I can assure myself that I ain't no identitiless stranger to people I once worked with, and somewhere somehow I might have touched a chord in them too....

Have no fear, Waffle World is 'eRe~

I was feeling blue sometime back... when boo brought me there.

Don't like that lar... cheer up!

Look waffles!

The waffles were light and crisp, and it's fillings were delightful too.

I hope they have pancakes too! They do!

And that's how we ended up savouring these beauties..

Vanilla ice-cream melting on a stack of pancakes, topped with sweet blueberries and sauce.

The sauce was sweet alright, but I needed it to make my day.

Thank you~
