Ross Revalina.

i totally sux with happenings in the malay local scene here. totally. i dont know whats new and whats current playing on air and whats worth listening or getting to know about. my dearest cousin, aziah has been my SUPPORTING FACTOR to my already-lousy-malay-music-database, hek hek.

thank goodness, YOUTUBE. my savior.

so my msn conversation was like this.

aziah: gal, have you listen to novela cinta by revalina. favorite seh.

me: what? who? jap, aku YOUTUBE dulu!

and WOW! they are superb. and novela cinta is gooddd plus their vocal yang mendayu2, which sometimes or rather lots of times give me goosebumps each time i tune in to the vid below.

oh and i GOOGLE-ed about revalina and found that they actually were from the reality talent competition, Live Your Dreams. buttt i think the lead vocalist of the original group stayed on and the current 2 are new. and as usual lah, the most good-looking one is the most outstanding and receives the loudest applauds!

appreciating it.

i am declaring myself that i am the happiest person on this earth. hehe. it just feels good when i treat people nicely without expecting anything in return. and i have been making a sin. yesss, err not 1 actually but a couple. i have been pampering myself with new stuffss. i donno why but probly i have not done it tat often. a brand new watch, jewelery(!) and ok this is very awkward. i dont usually fancy silver jewelery but maybe because of my sis who had been splurging on them of late, and i happened to hangout with her, so her DISEASE had spread to me. butttt buttttt, often it will take me very longggg to consider buying something but once i have my eyes on something i really loveeee to own, thats it. i would just grab it ASAP. no delay, no re-consideration ANYMORE. swoosh swoosh.*tit**tit**tit**tit**tit**tit*. there goes my money. but its just alright. something that u love to own, why not right! :) i have been telling myself, whatever i want or do, by all means own/do it as long as it is within my means. yeahhh, i am living that up. so be happy. so have no worries. to all problems, there are solutions. it is just the matter how we reach to the solution. dont worry too much at work, dont be too stressed with skoolwork. all this unnecessary stresses are just making our lives difficult, not better.
be POSITIVE. thats the way *oohoottt**oohoottt* !

next on my list, will be stuff for hari raya. hehehe. probly new curtains for my room and a fresh new beddiesheet. hehehe. semangat raya beb!

ideal sisters.

heard of them before?
how about this song? :)



hanya sekali, ku lafazkan cinta.....

for you esp for first love and probably you think, it will be the only one, i dedicate this to you :) probably, the one who is farrrr away, hehehehee ;P

cant find lyrics for this. so those who complain that i post youtube with no lyrics, listen and figure out yourself. :P

anddd we have their raya song..



alamak, karaoke version lah.

somehow, i found myself you-tubing very oldskul songs, for no apparent reason. probly, youtube has like everything so once in a while, to have these pre-2k classics in the playlist, it gives me some kind of new breather or something. well, oldskul still rocks lah.

im youtube-ing for more hariraya vids so that i can have them compiled in a cd and bring out the raya spirit soonnnnn for spring-clean. oh btw, from my waist down, to my right, it hurts badddd. it has been a week since i did spring-clean phase 1. esp if i get myself up from sitting posture. urgh. sakitt dokk.

mum is busy altering sis' baju kurong. long sleeve, bottom too long. haiya. luckily mine is just perfect. well, even if there is any, i would just have them errr folded. hehe. one thing abt my mum when it comes to altering stuff esp CLOTHES, she will get us to try it on over and over again. thats what i hate about. so, to avoid that, dont complain and start folding. not difficult wattt. to me. :)

i find this is too fast. i feel that its just like few months ago that we just celebrated hari raya :(

my internet connection sucks. i want to change to broadband on mobile soon! and we will be getting MONEY soon!! yeay. will be going to my photo grad shoot today. bro had his done few months ago for his masters. so, there hangs his bloody huge portrait. i know, all these from me. random. there are so many things which had happened. but im too lazy to update the rest here.

oh finally, check out this link. http://www.blockstatus.com/msn/delete-checker. who deletes/blocks you in MSN Messenger. you might be surprised. i had my surprise. but hack care lah.

misha omar.

one hell of a performer.



whatevaaa songs she sing, she really can carry them. SALUTE!

realization.

"hi,iqbal!apa khabar kamu?sihat aja,kan?Kamu pintar akting ,ya?di season2 ,kamu jadi orang jahat,ya kan?kamu dan mischa bersekongkol.tapi enggak pa-ap. aku salute sama kamu.keep being acool guyz!!!! - nurul"

this is hilarious. at any point of my blog, did I give any impression of being Iqbal, an indon actor? huhuhu. so this is how a fan sounds like heh.

it has come to my realization a few weeks back, that i have not communicated with my parents that much. all this is because of work. work made me tired. work made me wake up wayy early in the morning, reaching home at night, couping myself in the room, having my dinner with my own tv. and i seldom have a talk with my parents.ya know, the parents-child conversation. 3 years i have spent away from home and it made me into a person whom communicate less with my parents. how could i do this? something has knocked some sense into myself. children are all grown-up and married and staying away from them. and i am the only one here with them. how could i be such a fool, not realizing this way back after i came back from studies ? Alhamdulilah, probably God made me think and do the right thing. dad has to go to terawih every night and i have to be home with mum. i get their favorite food on some of iftar. although sometimes i get "lectured" by mum for buying too much but its okkayyyy. as long as they eat and enjoy them, i am happy. i just want to show them that i care for them. i joke with them and i want it to stay this way. i just want the old times back when i was younger. my laughter used to fill up the whole house. but it just disappeared the moment i left home for studies. probably they missed that time. they are aged now and the more older our parents get, the more sensitive they will be. like feeling sad and down and always have those thoughts that their children do not care or love them anymore.

i guess money isnt everything in this world. without happiness and love, it is just an empty one. so, brothers and sisters out there who still have both mum and dad with you, please do appreciate and love them before both or either one leave this world. for you who do not have both or either one, i am sorry but no worries cos God will always take care and love you unconditionally :)

week 1.

hey hey hey.

coming monday, it will be a week over. BTW, i just got onto the new google chrome. i find that its interface is very simple butttt if you are familiar with mozilla and IE7, i dont think so it would be that hard to get comfy with. new things are sometimes refreshing. oh, and i have got hold of an iphone, someone's actually. and i have no clue how to operate it seriously. i just gave up after trying to double-tap/single tap an icon haha. people can get it from walk-in @ hello shop with a new signup at 300+, so whats the fuss with all the booking ek.

pussycatdolls. i find them hoottt esp their dance moves below. seems that i cant stop playing it over and over again. anddd nicole's voice, since when is hers that rough heh. dont cha and beep, she looked so natural and sweet.



change.

and its happening again. its like a dejavu. someone new, giving all the unnecessary stress. esp the techy ones. sooner or later, probly my superiors will be dropping more hair. i hope mine stay intact. and i dont want greyhair tat soonnnn...

pre-ramadhan.

a shout-out to fellow muslims around the world,

Happy Ramadhan!

Selamat Berpuasa.

sooo, i did my pre-ramadan shopping! i have never done this EVER before.

the pre-ramadhan hari raya clothes shopping plus it was a rush one.

YES.

i thought i was like the only one being kiasu or wat, but hell noooo. there were so many other people like me. grabbing hari raya clothes before fasting month.

i am glad that i have gotten mine. so that i wont be busy sweating myself under the bazaar tents in Geylang Serai during fasting days or even worst, during the geselan2 time after breaking fast. i knowww, people seem to be going to ramadhan bazaar either for food, hari raya shoppang or nothing at all. just walk around, look here and there. at least fill up some plastic bags and bring them home lah dei.

it is gonna be monday. sux. bye bye weekend. sob sob.

soft.

i donno why but i do have this thing for guys who are SOFT-SPOKEN. not the lembek-soft ones. straight but soft-spoken. feels so good talking to them. and if they happen to have a cute smile, thats like a double bonus yo. ok, i will not beat around the naked bushes haha. one of these guys happen to be my vendor. a chinese fella. hes soft-spoken. i like talking to him. i donno why. probably i find tat he has that nice soft kinda voice. dammnn, how many times have i said this in 1 paragraph! hehe.

shopping. its wayyy therapeutic. i have heard it before and i just experienced it. especially when it comes just nice without any warning or sorts, like knocking into my head, its timee to spend daaa moneyy...helloooo....daa booshhh! buy tat! daa booshh, come on must get this ! ahha. and it just happened to me few hours ago. i just have to spend. funny thing, none of these are my needs! i just need to shop. i need to change some stuff. im bored with the same things. wearing the same stuff over and over again. pple need change. where is MY CHEESE?

gooddd! it must be the cheessseeeeeeeyyy lasagne i ate before the shopping streak! hek hek.

oh. obama's wife is hot! hehehe.. not the sexy kinda hot, but well she really stands out :)

unexpected events.

the day after my choke got out from me, an unexpected twist of event happened. i guess, in the meantime i shall be looking at it positively.

and on friday, i was at swissotel to watch fireworks!!!

oh my! it was seriously superb. from 54th floor and overlooking everything. literally, not whole singapore buttt a 180 degree view of.....

this...


tat....




and this...



and down below is part of the soon-to-be-converted F1 track.



hek hek hek.

yeaa baby and i just have to get hold of a higer MP digicam. my phonie did not do quite a good job.









being there live, beats these pictures. i was so excited and it kinda reminded me of the good old days. from my hostel balcony, i enjoyed fireworks near my area. deepavali and national days and new year eves. and not to forget with monash mates back on the campus, practically woahh-ingg and oooo-ing at fireworks at sunway lagoon resort. hehehe.

finally its out.

i have relayed the message. and the choke i have been holding has finally been coughed out.

i can sleep peacefully today onwards.

ryan and taylor?!

ok this is a very odd AND beyond imagination couple. ryan and taylor as an item? that is so wrong. ok pple, they are from The OC. i find this serial very entertaining. the whole lot of them. ryan, the grouchy-looking and tough guy. taylor talks damn lot man. but shes hootttaaa! ehehe. i like her cute nose. and marissa not being in the picture is quite abnormal.

i just started on a new novel by jill winters. "Just Peachy". was searching high and low for something to occupy my time. actually, i wanted to settle down for another of mike gayle buttt the other titles seem dull, not to my interest. i have yet to reach a third of this book. it has something to do with having crush with a NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR. see, i can relate so much to that. i mean who writes novel, creates a character and relate it to someone who works in IT line. come on, who? haha.i dont read that much, probably someone out there can refer me to some titles or something. :)

anyway, something put me down recently. on monday, i was feeling so lousy at work. it is a choice i have to make. i have not decided on tat something yet. i think i have to give myself a bit more time. when i finalise it, probably i will release it off from the back of my mind and feel the peace and ease.

in the meantime, i just have to enjoy.

farah, you are right. hell with work. haha :)

national day.

everyday to and fro orchard area and i did not even take the opportunity to walk around town until last night right after work. first stop was centerpoint. apparently, i think it is losing its touch. the only places which i think worth staying put are probably Robinsons, McDonalds, Starbucks, Coldstorage and the bank hehe. it was so much different years back. anyways, i decided to indulge myself with 2 scoops of Haagen Daz. My fav strawberry cheesecake and the same old cream and cookies. really finding trouble because i just got MC 2 days before. it was the itch in the throat. but, neither care nor giving any damn. when it comes to food, once you long for it, better enjoy them before anything else.

made my way from centerpoint, passing cineleisure, heeren and next stop was taka. hmmm, there are sales going on and the moment i entered, i was hoping to get something there but i didnt like anything there. was looking for hair accessories, jewellery and even a watch. but nothing seemed to attract my eyes even though they have damn large collections , like zillions of jewellery stuff but nothing at all seemed to interest me. i headed on to watches corner and it was pathetic. DKNY, Swatch, CASIO/BabyG/Gshock and Guess. and very little collection though they are having 10% off. but nahh. so to cut story short, went to wisma, and again the same disappointment and i went back with nothing EXCEPT that i truly enjoyed an outdoor performance right outside taka. i think shes from China and she played an old skool song from Jason Donovan - Sealed with A Kiss on a chinese musical instrument, not sure what it's called. seriously, it was so captivating. shes amazing with capital A.

and, i have finished the book i have been reading. a male and female, such good friends who love each other but in the end, did not get together. it was so sad. a good read.

robinsons sales.

gd news to share. if you have been eyeing on some stuff in robinsons, grab them ASAP cos they r having 20% off storewide!! hehe, its from today till 11th aug. includes john little, marks & spenser and i forgot the rest :) anddd some in-store specials which be either on the shelves @ $43 an item or 43% off!!

BTW, national day will be spent at a kenduri! haiz.

oo. its raining now. gonna be a very shiok sleep soonnn. before tat, THE OC serials to catch up :)i remember when i was in uni, i watched THE OC and Prison Break like crazy . those are some of the stuff to keep me away from stress :) not to forget my dear little minies as well hek hek hek.

hero lies in you.

donno why, but i have been feeling nostalgic for the past days esp when youtube-ing :)
came across mariah carey's performance probly in the 90's. i remember watching her performance over and over again on the video tape (yes, old skool VCR!). i think i was in love with her at that time. without you and hero are my favorites back then and now still.

no doubt, a powerhouse.

Hero - Mariah Carey ( <--- check it out)

There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

It's a long road when you face the world alone;
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.
You can find love if you search within your self
and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

oh....Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Just Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
that a hero lies in ... you
mmmm that a hero lies in.....you.

transitions in life.

i have known close friends and beloved ones who have moved from one phase to another in their lives. i am happy for them.

i have yet to make my own. never know when will it be. nobody knows what their future holds. to initiate changes for the better, it takes lots of guts and risks.

i have learnt that until you do it, you will never know how easy it is and you wished that you should have done it way early :)

we should not regret with things that we had done, but should regret for the things we did not do.

one moment in time.

this song is very synonym with achievements.

from the start till the end, all of these mixed in me

1. Goosebumps
2. Brain freeze
3. Chill down my spine
4. Hair stand

Seriously AMAZING.

People out there, i am sure there shall be or had been your only THE one moment in time :)



i had mine, the moment i stood on that podium :):)

mike gayle.

mike gayle who?

friday night. i had dinner at my favorite library cafe and i was telling myself, why not pay the shelves a visit. the last book i read was from cecilia ahern. i like books of her genre and i was hoping to chance upon something like hers. i skipped her last title cos it's kinda bored for me. so aimlessly, i was flipping books on the shelves and when i was about to give up, my fingers did its walk to one with its author's name in a pretty large-sized font, even bigger than its title! mike gayle. i reached for its synopsis, and find it pretty interesting cos like finally, from a man's point of view, more or less i understand what is running in their heads! "brand new friend" is its title. i am like into 1/3 of the book and i understand why man really treasure their friends so much, what type of conversations they usually share and yada yada. :) now that i know, gals, knowing that his friends are so dear to your man, even the slightest mention of them might make him flare up, i mean when mentioned in a negative note. probably whatever you are unhappy with, somehow his friends are pulled into the picture and chances are, he might erupt and you shall bear the consequences. i wondered how mike gayle looks like until i was at Popular. he has another latest title with his picture on it. hes a black (actually, i didnt expect it at all) and yes, i am starting to love his writing! it is refreshing for me, indeed!

and so i wikipedia-ed him hehe. woah seriously, i think i have missed him, big time :)

shake your poms!

it is one of the repeats in my playlist NOW :) sounds kinky but i like :)
discovered other cool songs in Step Up 2. a must watch esp the dancemoves!
its I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. but dammit, i cant find the original vid.



this is the finale dance of Step Up 2. awesome moves mann!





SIDETRACK : this is cute and the next is wackier! (ATTENTION: MUST-WATCH)





youtube is the new google hey!

the waiting game.

i decided to take some time off from work last thurs and headed for "Wanted". even though it was 2 hrs earlier from knock-off, but i just felt that i have reached the limit. the last when i took a very short break was during a weekend, (actually i dont event count it a break) which was in late may and a half-day leave was dedicated to driving test around mid March. so to conclude, actually i have been working without even a good, deserved break. how sad is that. that is why, short trips during long weekends were the only ones i could enjoy.

so what is happening to me?

i am waiting for another opportunity to pass by and grab it with all my might.i deserve better opportunity which has yet to appear. i really can't get it when some subset can slog all their lives in the same place for donkey years. how is that possible, i wonder. don't they feel tired/bored? what else can i do now but to wait. i am in a waiting game right now.

ah. if u dont actually realise(if you have lots of MONEY) or maybe you might(if you are aware of current issues now), food prices have increased like crazy. Burger King Ice Lemon Tea Medium which I consider it Small costs $2.55. its freaking small. i am not joking. i dont remember drinking a small-sized cup which they call it Medium. ah. i remember. few days ago, i was at Macdonalds grabbing some $2 double cheese burgers and so, an Indian man was complaining about his LARGE ice lemon tea. now, what is actually LARGE and wat is MEDIUM. with all the price increments, everything seem expensive but shrinking in sizes. DONUTS at causewaypoint(cold storage) now cost $7 for half dozen. it used to be lesser ! i hate the times now. i have to control my spending power now. i must endure. do not buy things that are not important. that, probly i put it under my WANTS. butttt, it is a very different story for my sister. she spends like crazy. few days ago, she just bought herself a ring which costs her $60. the kinda ring which i can get lesser than $20 somewhere else and yesterday, she bought a bracelet at $37. all because she wants to look good for a wedding reception. Goodness gracious. Holy crappo, thats like $100. i actually can use that kind money for my new swirling chair!

when are things gonna be better? sigh. other things are just at the back of my mind now. but whatever it is, entertainment is no 1. next up, Hancock and Dark Knight! :) oh and lots of catching up with Download King's Treasure. hehe :)

what i have done.

for the past weeks, i watched "Kungfu Panda" which I find them very adorable. i didnt read reviews beforehand and didnt know whose voices behind the characters, err, actually i didnt bother to find out. i was just interested in black jack's Panda. and when they have names like "sifu" and "tai lung", not a surprise jackie chan plays the monkey. "Incredible Hulk" which i think the main character's overall looks and physique (before he turns green)are not that "appetizing" really and the last was "Don't Mess with The Zohan". it was really horny and corny and hilarious and whatever words you can relate to "disgusting" (thesaurus.com). people were laughing their hearts out and probably were shedding tears as well. nevertheless, there is a message which they wanted to bring it across. main point, make peace, no war. so next up, probably Hancock and Wanted.

went down couple of times to east coast park. after late lunch, we would just hang out at the beach and once, there happened to be a rehearsal for the upcoming national day, a heli with the flag hovering over the coast. talking about national day, have not been to the event before. not that i do not want, but before i knew it, the tics were all out when they announced it over the tv. sigh.

GSS is still on and i am so glad that i am still trying to withhold my strength of keeping the kah-chings in and not out unnecessarily. looking at handbags which are already stacked up in my room, i think more than twice actually before flipping my notes out. money is hard to come by. just like water, they can just flow out freely.

GST money are coming in, yeay!
