The Day He Pulled the Trigger

Vincent, Trust me, I understand...

Haf always been in love with his art... and his feelings, I feel d same way...

   

 Starry, starry night. 

Paint your palette blue and grey, 

Look out on a summer's day, 

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. 

Shadows on the hills, 

Sketch the trees and the daffodils, 

Catch the breeze and the winter chills, 

In colors on the snowy linen land. 

 Now I understand what you tried to say to me, 

How you suffered for your sanity, 

How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

 Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

 Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

 For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you,
Vincent, This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you.

 Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

 Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free.
 They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

One Flaw in Woman, re-shared.

Flip thru my archive, go to November 10, 2005.

I've posted this... back then. Going thru a hard time makes my heart so tender once again, easily touched even with a simple manner. And I found this piece I posted once again... I'm gonna re-share this, to my newly found friends.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

this was so... moving and... *sigh*

By the time the Lord made woman,

He was into his sixth day of working overtime.

An angel appeared and said,

"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"

And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?

She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,

have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable

and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,

have a lap that can hold four children at one time,

have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart

-and she will do everything

with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements.

"Only two hands!? No way!

And that's just on the standard model?

That's too much work for one day.

Wait until tomorrow to finish."

"But I won't," the Lord protested.

"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.

She already heals herself when she is sick

AND can work 18 hours a day."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.

"But you have made her so soft, Lord."

"She is soft," the Lord agreed,

"but I have also made her tough.

You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.

The Lord replied,

"Not only will she be able to think,

she will be able to reason and negotiate."

The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.

"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.

I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak,"

the Lord corrected,

"that's a tear!"

"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.

The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,  her loneliness, her grief and her pride."

The angel was impressed.

"You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing."

And she is!

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love, and joy.

They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have. 

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run, or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideals.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Palestine, TOMORROW YOU'LL BE FREE! Ameen~

Nak menangis ok tengok video ni :`o( but the whole concept Masya Allah... Finally some quality, produced by our people, I am so enlightened!

o

We keep telling each other
That this day will be
Will be the last and tomorrow
We all can go home free
And all this will finally end
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free

No mother, no father to wipe away my tears
That's why I won't cry
I feel scared but I won't show my fears
I keep my head high
Deep in my heart I never have any doubt
That Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free

I saw those rockets and bombs shining in the sky
Like drops of rain in the sun's light
Taking away everyone dear to my heart
Destroying my dreams in a blink of an eye
What happened to our human rights?
What happened to the sanctity of life?
And all those other lies?
I know that I'm only a child
But is your conscience still alive

I will caress with my bare hands
Every precious grain of sand
Every stone, and every tree
'Cause no matter what they do
They can never hurt you
'Cause your soul will always be free

Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free

Maher Zain fever... or is it?

Since d end of 2009, my working place Warta Bangi has been berkumandang with his songs. I can't deny it sounded good at first but as it went on for months, and since all I can hear is Insya Allah from our boutique, I got bored. But then, as I pass by the kiosk playing his music, bit by bit I could listen to d wordings. Maybe it's d barakah from the effort of its artist, producers etc, I finally looked up for the whole album in d net. First, I downloaded them, as usual. But then.... there's sumthing in these songs and Maher Zain's voice that has some kinda charm and keep me magnetized to it until I can't hold myself from buying d CD any longer.

So really, is it Maher Zain's fever or its just.... an Awakening?

Maher Zain is one of the extraordinary artists from Awakening Records. With a tagline Islamic Media Redefined, this is one Muslim recording company which produces some quality music, just like what Raihan started in Malaysia. This recording company was established in the year 2000, kita je yg tatau kat Malaysia ni. Itsa good effort, introducing Islam in a good modern way. This is what it says in the Who We Are and What We Do section:

Awakening was created in 2000 to offer a wide range of products for a new modern Islamic market. Combining modern manufacturing and contemporary design, we set out to set new standards in print, media and audio products. Awakening Records continues this trend by introducing exciting new recording artists to the Islamic nasheed and music market. The company strives to provide the very best in live and recorded entertainment.

Rather than tread the paths of our competitors, Awakening Records intends to set new standards in every way possible - respecting the past but with an eye on the future. We wish to present a modern and dynamic view on Islam through our products. Our forthcoming range of DVDs will further this goal adding a level of interactivity. Awakening Records signs, produces and manages a range of acts including Sami Yusuf who received worldwide critical acclaim for his first album 'Al-Mu'allim'. We continue to seek new talent all round the world. Dependent on the market, artists will be promoted with a worldwide print and media campaign alongside conventional video clips for broadcast on satellite television.

Maher Zain on the other hand, is a 28 years old young Muslim who just have a good talent in music. He is a Swedish singer and music producer of Lebanese origin. His first album Thank You Allah was released on 1st  November 2009. His music videos on Youtube has collectively gained more than one million of views. He  was born on 1982 in Lebanon. His family moved to Sweden when Maher was only eight, where he continued his schooling. Maher got his first keyboard when he was only ten. Jangan tak tau, Maher Zain  got a Bachelors degree in Aeronautical Engineering! Ha~ In his adolescence he liked to spend late nights at school with his friends where they would sing, rap, compose and experiment with music in every way. dat's how he got discovered and was introduced to RedOne, a music producer in the music scene in Sweden, and later moved to New York. In January 2009, Maher Zain began work on an album and signed with Awakening Records. Maher’s first musical inspiration came from his father, who was a singer himself, performing locally in the Mediterranean city of Tripoli, Lebanon.

Insha Allah is an amazing [not to forget touching song] and nowadays I play it while driving almost everyday, even Kyra dah hapal lirik dia hehe~

But dats not just it, watch this video. Kalau tak insaf-insaf jugak lepas tengok ntahlah.... hati batu agaknya korang. I am just touched by the vid, the whole concept is beautiful. Masya Allah~

Help! I'm addicted to shoes! Mentioned ~ Adar. haha~

Ok being slimmer, does haf a down-factor. YES IT DOES.

First off, my fav bra [aiyoh jantans, tutup mata for this para!] brand doesn't have the right size for me anymore. AVON. Yes, Avon only has up to cup B for size 34. I need a cup C at least, or cup D, better! Dulu my size was 38, so memang senang la dapat cup C or D... now??? 36C pun cannot, a bit longgar like no point pakai if longgar ok!


Another thing is... SHOES & Sandals. I can't pass the shoe section without trying anything that looks good, WITH HEELS. For almost the whole of my after-marriage life, I couldn't wear any heeled shoes or sandals. Recently, I bought 2 pairs of sandals [at once!] and... I was surprised that it doesn't hurt my legs, ankles even my knees for that matter! Being a person with a history of accidents, my ligaments aren't too good cus they once torn, as for my knees, the stitches n bruises from my bike accident still hurts [even after 10 years!] so... I dare not wear heels after being pregnant with Jazzy. Now that it doesn't hurt anymore.... I'm sooo like addicted to buying shoes. Damn it I sound like Paris Hilton! [and Siti Norhadar Taharuddin, heheh~]

And dresses. OMG dresses... even jeans! Need I say more? *sigh*

And I couldn't finish KFC Snack Plate.

And I threw away Spicy Chicken McDeluxe twice after not being able to stomach it, kept for 2 days, froze n reheated, last-last buang.

Aiyokkk~

The Story Behind Twilight ~ by the writer herself

Sharing this with all Twilight fans, taken from :: Stephanie Meyers's Official Webbie

I get a ton of questions about how I came up with the story of Twilight and how I got it published. I may be killing my FAQ page by doing this, but here is the whole story:
(Warning: there are Twilight spoilers contained in the following; if you don't want to ruin the suspense, stop reading.....now. Warning #2: As you might have guessed from the length of my book, I can't tell a short story—this is going to take a while. You have been warned.)


The Writing
I know the exact date that I began writing Twilight, because it was also the first day of swim lessons for my kids. So I can say with certainty that it all started on June 2, 2003. Up to this point, I had not written anything besides a few chapters (of other stories) that I never got very far on, and nothing at all since the birth of my first son, six years earlier.


I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were falling in love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to the scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her immediately. For what is essentially a transcript of my dream, please see Chapter 13 ("Confessions") of the book.


Though I had a million things to do (i.e. making breakfast for hungry children, dressing and changing the diapers of said children, finding the swimsuits that no one ever puts away in the right place, etc.), I stayed in bed, thinking about the dream. I was so intrigued by the nameless couple's story that I hated the idea of forgetting it; it was the kind of dream that makes you want to call your friend and bore her with a detailed description. (Also, the vampire was just so darned good-looking, that I didn't want to lose the mental image.) Unwillingly, I eventually got up and did the immediate necessities, and then put everything that I possibly could on the back burner and sat down at the computer to write—something I hadn't done in so long that I wondered why I was bothering. But I didn't want to lose the dream, so I typed out as much as I could remember, calling the characters "he" and "she."


From that point on, not one day passed that I did not write something. On bad days, I would only type out a page or two; on good days, I would finish a chapter and then some. I mostly wrote at night, after the kids were asleep so that I could concentrate for longer than five minutes without being interrupted. I started from the scene in the meadow and wrote through to the end. Then I went back to the beginning and wrote until the pieces matched up. I drove the "golden spike" that connected them in late August, three months later.


It took me a while to find names for my anonymous duo. For my vampire (who I was in love with from day one) I decided to use a name that had once been considered romantic, but had fallen out of popularity for decades. Charlotte Bronte's Mr. Rochester and Jane Austen's Mr. Ferrars were the characters that led me to the name Edward. I tried it on for size, and found that it fit well. My female lead was harder. Nothing I named her seemed just right. After spending so much time with her, I loved her like a daughter, and no name was good enough. Finally, inspired by that love, I gave her the name I was saving for my daughter, who had never shown up and was unlikely to put in an appearance at this point: Isabella. Huzzah! Edward and Bella were named. For the rest of the characters, I did a lot of searching in old census records, looking for popular names in the times that they'd been born. Some trivia: Rosalie was originally "Carol" and Jasper was first "Ronald." I like the new names much better, but every now and then I will slip up and type Carol or Ron by accident. It really confuses the people who read my rough drafts.


For my setting, I knew I needed someplace ridiculously rainy. I turned to Google, as I do for all my research needs, and looked for the place with the most rainfall in the U.S. This turned out to be the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. I pulled up maps of the area and studied them, looking for something small, out of the way, surrounded by forest... And there, right where I wanted it to be, was a tiny town called "Forks." It couldn't have been more perfect if I had named it myself. I did a Google image search on the area, and if the name hadn't sold me, the gorgeous photographs would have done the trick. (Images like these of the Hoh Rainforest (a short drive from Forks). Also see forks-web.com ). In researching Forks, I discovered the La Push Reservation, home to the Quileute Tribe. The Quileute story is fascinating, and a few fictional members of the tribe quickly became intrinsic to my story.


All this time, Bella and Edward were, quite literally, voices in my head. They simply wouldn't shut up. I'd stay up as late as I could stand trying to get all the stuff in my mind typed out, and then crawl, exhausted, into bed (my baby still wasn't sleeping through the night, yet) only to have another conversation start in my head. I hated to lose anything by forgetting, so I'd get up and head back down to the computer. Eventually, I got a pen and notebook for beside my bed to jot notes down so I could get some freakin' sleep. It was always an exciting challenge in the morning to try to decipher the stuff I'd scrawled across the page in the dark.


During the day, I couldn't stay away from the computer, either. When I was stuck at swim lessons, out in 115 degrees of Phoenix sunshine, I would plot and scheme and come home with so much new stuff that I couldn't type fast enough. It was your typical Arizona summer, hot, sunny, hot, and hot, but when I think back to those three months, I remember rain and cool green things, like I really spent the summer in the Olympic Rainforest.
When I'd finished the body of the novel, I started writing epilogues...lots of epilogues. This eventually clued me in to the fact that I wasn't ready to let go of my characters, and I started working on the sequel. Meanwhile, I continued to edit Twilight in a very obsessive-compulsive way.


My older sister, Emily, was the only one who really knew what I was up to. In June, I'd started sending her chapters as I finished them, and she soon became my cheerleading section. She was always checking in to see if I had something new for her. It was Emily who first suggested, after I'd finished, that I should try to get Twilight published. I was so stunned by the fact that I'd actually finished a whole, entire book, that I decided to look into it.


Getting Published
To put it mildly, I was naive about publishing. I thought it worked like this: you printed a copy of your novel, wrapped it up in brown paper, and sent it off to a publishing house. Ho ho ho, that's a good one. I started googling (naturally) and began to discover that this was not the way it is done. (Movies lie to us! Why?! A side note: you will not be able to enjoy the new Steve Martin version of Cheaper by the Dozen when you know how insanely impossible the publishing scenario it contains is.) The whole set up with query letters, literary agents, simultaneous submissions vs. exclusive submissions, synopsizes, etc., was extremely intimidating, and I almost quit there. It certainly wasn't belief in my fabulous talent that made me push forward; I think it was just that I loved my characters so much, and they were so real to me, that I wanted other people to know them, too.


I subscribed to WritersMarket.com and compiled a list of small publishers that accepted unsolicited submissions and a few literary agencies. It was around this time that my little sister, Heidi, mentioned Janet Evanovich's website to me. In her Q and A for writers section, Janet E. mentioned Writers House, among a few others, as "the real thing" in the world of literary agencies. Writers House went on my wish list as the most desirable and also least likely.


I sent out around fifteen queries (and I still get residual butterflies in my stomach when I drive by the mailbox I sent the letters from—mailing them was terrifying.). I will state, for the record, that my queries truly sucked, and I don't blame anyone who sent me a rejection (I did get seven or eight of those. I still have them all, too). The only rejection that really hurt was from a small agent who actually read the first chapter before she dropped the axe on me. The meanest rejection I got came after Little, Brown had picked me up for a three-book deal, so it didn't bother me at all. I'll admit that I considered sending back a copy of that rejection stapled to the write-up my deal got in Publisher's Weekly, but I took the higher road.


My big break came in the form of an assistant at Writers House named Genevieve. I didn't find out until much later just how lucky I was; it turns out that Gen didn't know that 130,000 words is a whole heck of a lot of words. If she'd known that 130K words would equal 500 pages, she probably wouldn't have asked to see it. But she didn't know (picture me wiping the sweat from my brow), and she did ask for the first three chapters. I was thrilled to get a positive response, but a little worried because I felt the beginning of the book wasn't the strongest part. I mailed off those three chapters and got a letter back a few weeks later (I could barely get it open, my hands were so weak with fear). It was a very nice letter. She'd gone back with a pen and twice underlined the part where she'd typed how much she enjoyed the first three chapters (I still have that letter, of course), and she asked for the whole manuscript. That was the exact moment when I realized that I might actually see Twilight in print, and really one of the happiest points in my whole life. I did a lot of screaming.


About a month after I sent in the manuscript, I got a call from Jodi Reamer, an honest to goodness literary agent, who wanted to represent my book. I tried really hard to sound like a professional and a grownup during that conversation, but I'm not sure if I fooled her. Again, my luck was tremendous (and I don't usually have good luck—I've never won anything in my life, and no one ever catches a fish when I'm in the boat) because Jodi is the uber-agent. I couldn't have ended up in better hands. She's part lawyer, part ninja (she's working on earning her black belt right now, no kidding), a pretty amazing editor in her own right, and a great friend.


Jodi and I worked for two weeks on getting Twilight into shape before sending it to editors. The first thing we worked on was the title, which started out as Forks (and I still have a teeny soft spot for that name). Then we polished up a few rough spots, and Jodi sent it out to nine different publishing houses. This really messed with my ability to sleep, but luckily I wasn't in suspense for long.


Megan Tingley, of Megan Tingley Books, of Little, Brown and Company, read Twilight on a cross-country flight and came back to Jodi the day after the Thanksgiving weekend with a preemptive deal so huge that I honestly thought Jodi was pulling my leg—especially the part where she turned the offer down and asked for more. The upshot was that, by the end of the day, I was trying to process the information that not only was my book going to be published by one of the biggest young adult publishers in the country, but that they were going topay me for it. For a very long time, I was convinced it was a really cruel practical joke, but I couldn't imagine who would go to these wild extremes to play a hoax on such an insignificant little hausfrau.


And that's how, in the course of six months, Twilight was dreamed, written, and accepted for publication.
Things keep getting crazier, what with the movie deal and all the pre-publication attention that Twilight continues to receive. Though I've gotten impatient from time to time, I'm glad I've had the last two years to try to come to terms with the situation. I'm greatly looking forward to finally having Twilight on the shelves, and more than a little frightened, too. Overall, it's been a true labor of love, love for Edward and Bella and all the rest of my imaginary friends, and I'm thrilled that other people get to meet them now.

Suatu hari rendevouz di JJ kami terserempak dengan...

COMEL KAN~!

yang tengah tu, bukan yang tepi, hahaha~!

Picture taken by Makcik Adar

Today is a very interesting day :o)

First and foremost I'd like to remind myself, my siblings n peers that today is Nenda's 100th day. Let's recite her Al-Fatihah or better still Yasin tonight.

It was an early day at work, 1st to reach office @8.20 am, or maybe a bit late tagging in cus I took my time dilly-dallying walking from parking to the lobby :op~ Then as usual  I'd take care of my FB's 3 accounts' [haha] kebun & restoran before beginning to indulge in my piles of work. An interviewee came moments earlier, nuthing much to handle, just borak sikit then pass her over to Big Boss.

12.50 pm My evil plan worked ~ I've planned to go shopping today it's JCard day in Jusco Maluri since Monday when I saw the announcement while buying my fav McFlurry Oreo whee~ and more evil-ly I succesfully made Ira n Kak Yun to tag along. Aritu they said takdek duit la broke lah, alah hampeh sudahlah balik tadi masing-masing ber-bag-bag hahah [yeah am a bit exaggerating here huhu]. What did I buy in Jusco? Despite every instinct to check out personal stuffs, as a lady of d house I went straight to Household area which was already filled with tonnes of Malaysian middle class mothers scavenging for good but cheap goods. My eyes stopped at this pile of Offer Luminarc products, some of em i've been keeping an eye and u can say terliur on. Congak-congak duit ... aduih. December is the birth month of Bibah and that means ROAD TAX & INSURANCE RENEWAL! argh~! The Black Carine Luminarc dish looked sooooo tempting, I bought six of it anyways. Dont ask me where did the money came from, u don't wanna know. Korang ingat senang Luminarc nak turun jadik beals belas ringgit? Kat forum aku tgk pun abeh abeh turun jadik 20+ hengget SEKEPING tau! Aritu siap terasa nak main kutu beli benda alah tuh, tapi tak sanggup. Ni dapat 6 keping pun jadiklah! Esok-esok tambahlah bila ada duit lebih... sikit-sikit lama-lama jadik bukit. Pther than the luminarc dishes, I bought 6 pretty porcelain bowls yg sangat comel berharga RM2.90 sahaja each, harap maklum. Pastu corkscrew yg mahal, beli yg murah manjang hancur and gunting dapur to replace yg dah tumpul, potong leher ayam pun tak lepas [haha kenapa agaknya aku nak GUNTING leher ayam? Bodoh ke haper]

On reading that passage just now, aku terasa i'm transforming bit by bit to be mama. Aiyoyo~! nasib baik belum ada pitih nak beli display cabinet kat Ikea yg sudah jatuh harga RM129 tu lagi, kalo tak sure aku dah start mengumpul kristal plak~!

Then... balik earlier a bit. 5.40 dah cabut from office, informed Kak Yun, she will inform Boss. Maybe she didn't hehe. Alah 15 minit je pun, aku datang punyalah awal 3-4 hari ni. Kenapa? Nak kejar appointment dentist Jazzy... 2nd tooth extraction! I'm proud of both my kids, they dun fear the dentist. Kyra pun dah pernah buat polishing, just to give her early exposure. Jazzy only cringed a bit when the tooth was extracted, as a reward, everybody got McDonalds treat from Babah and Jazzy specially got Sundae Choc. My kids, they're trained with strict disciplinary by Babah, they rarely get to eat these fast food. In fact, I get to eat em more often than they do hehe. Note: am mama's daughter, all 3 of us were born to be spoiled and i know how hard to catch up organizing my own life after being spoilt, I never want that to happen to my own kids.

Meanwhile, Kyra got a little treat too! Wait, little? Her weeks-long anticipated Bicycle has arrived home safely! While Kakak menahan sakit di dentist, Adik get to choose her own bicycle. We promised pink colored bike, but then the pink one was much too big for her, so she got herself Blue Colored bike we're waiting to name. Blue ~ exactly like Cik Bibah. hehe. Sampai umah dah malam... sudahnya sampai sekarang aku tgh menaip ni she's begging ehr father nak tgk basikal kat bawah. "Abah bacikal mana?" "Abah bacikal kat bawah tuu~!" Babah can only reply "Basikal tu sihat je kat bawah tu, takkan hilang punya" haha. wattodo. orang terlebih excited. dah berminggu-minggu she was threatened to behave well if she wants the bicycle. hard work to wei! hahaha. Picture... nanti upload kat blog Jazzy Bunch.

So now... after kenyang McD... everyone is happy, and Omie is yet to baca Yasin for arwah Nenda yang dirindui....

Bertuturlah cinta
Mengucap satu nama
Seindah goresan sabdamu dalam kitabku
Cinta yang bertasbih
Mengutus Hati ini
Kusandarkan hidup dan matiku padamu

Bisikan doaku
Dalam butiran tasbih
Kupanjatkan pintaku padamu Maha Cinta
Sudah di ubun-ubun cinta mengusik resah
Tak bisa kupaksa walau hatiku menjerit

Ketika Cinta bertasbih
Nadiku berdenyut merdu
Kembang kempis dadaku merangkai butir cinta
Garis tangan tergambar tak bisa aku menentang
Sujud sukur padamu atas segala cinta

Untuk menghibur hati yang lara.

Awesome performance guys!

What else do I want? I want a new PC. I want a good room for my kids, with book racks to keep their piling books on, I want to paint the house, I want to go for a vacation.... I AM SO MATERIALISTIC, am i not? As if I am going to live forever. As if I haf all d time in d world for this. But U know there's one more thing I really really want. To have our 2nd Honeymoon in Mecca and Madinah.

Gadget talk. After so long!

God i feel old. I remember those times when i really follow the gadget market, from PC hardwares to mobile phone... like i know almost every models and what they do. our lives are moving freaking fast, and i do realize i'm so freaking outdated nowadays.

for those who know me personally would've heard THE story of my precious Delicious [my prev SE phone] went into a pail of water while it was charging. yeap all done by my Little Ayra. till today i am still using this ^^$@(*#!& free handphone given by celcom but I do thank God dat at least i do haf one.

But am sick of it. the phone made me malas to sms, i hate d keypads and also I CANT TAKE GOOD PIX! no music! no fancy ringtones! no 3G! ngaaaa~

I want this, at least, if not for G900 which has a little bit more feature.

I NEED MONEY. please sumone get me a freelance job or sumthing!

Update 281008 :: Aku da tanya banyak kedai, da tak jual da model ni. G705 coming soon [cam mahal je] tapi aku rasa aku suka PDA lah pulak sejak babah beli PDA Ahad lepas aku cam jeles sebab duk dalam keter dia ada mesen cakap PLEASE SLOW DOWN like everytime masuk simpang. Nantik aku nak carik PDA yang bleh cakap EVA cam Wall-E lah [ya aku tau korang tak paham apa yg rapikkan neh cuma certain orang je akan paham]

Awesome Movie, Awesome Song

Korang sure tengok ehk citer Ayat Ayat Cinta masa raya? Even at work people talk about it. padahal citer tu dah lama dah, yelah being bz people and tua macam kami, nak tgk movie bukan senang [kalo pegi tgk wayang karang kena PERLI, macam la kita tak sayang anak, padahal u can never part me from movies, MOVIES IS MY THING] eh lari tajuk plak.

Anyway, yes is a very good movie. AKu tau ada yg tak suka, itu korang punya hal la kan aku suka. anak-anak aku suka, jazz tengok air mata leleh, kyra siap melopong before tertido aku tatau la dia paham ke tak tapi dah melpong tu suka a tu. laki aku suka [mainly sebab orang tu kawen dua kan heh] and kawan-kawan aku pun ramai suka. Aku suka sebab... well korang taula aku ni sangat-sangat kagumkan Zulaikha a.s., isteri Nabi Allah Yusuf a.s., and dat movie ada sikit sikit unsur cerita tu in fact ada sebut [masa dalam d guy penjara] peristiwa Zulaikha terlampau menyintai Nabi Yusus a.s. sehinggakan sanggup menfitnahnya dan kemudiannya menjadi isteri Nabi Yusuf yang sah dan mensyukuri nikmat sehingga dia bertaubat dan tak putus-putus beribadah, Nabi Yusuf pula yang sangat menginginkan dia. Aku juga kagum, sifat Aisyah dalam movie tu, sanggup berkongsi untuk mengeluarkan suami dari penjara dan menyelamatkan nyawa walaupun jealous tak sudah. itulah hakikatnya kan? kita perempuan, sanggup buat apa pun untuk suami, tapi suami tau tak agaknya?

d song... dah lama dah suka lagu tu :) aku memang suka BANYAK lagu Rossa. dalam playlist aku berlambak lagu Rossa. I met her once, face to face, informally [doubt she'll remember it] zaman hang out with wartawan dulu. very petite humble girl. masa tu dia belum kawen lagi... awesome voice.

lyrics...

Rossa - Ayat-Ayat Cinta

desir pasir di padang tandus
segersang pemikiran hati
terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit

bila keyakinanku datang
kasih bukan sekadar cinta
pengorbanan cinta yang agung
ku pertaruhkan

maafkan bila ku tak sempurna
cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah
ayat-ayat cinta bercerita
cintaku padamu
bila bahagia mulai menyentuh
seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama
namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta
ketika ku bersujud

bila keyakinanku datang
kasih bukan sekedar cinta
pengorbanan cinta yang agung
ku pertaruhkan

ketika ku bersujud
