Both sides now

Both sides now by Joni Mitchell..
Love the lyrics..so deep..enjoy..


Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, i've looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done but clouds got in my way.


I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions i recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.






Moons and junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real; i've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.


I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions i recall.
I really don't know love at all.




Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "i love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads,
they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.


I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions i recall.
I really don't know life at all.

fries suprise

Another Dzhofier moment..


We had McD's take away, and my mom was giving Dzhofier his fries.


TM: Dzhofier, here are your fries.
DF: My suprise Tuk mak?
TM: No, your FRIES.
DF: Oohh.. Fries..Suprise... (talking to himself)
(Looks at me)
The fries is the suprise Mie-Meen!


My mom & I burst out laughing..


Little Smarty Pants... kids these days!

But why mie-meen?

My dearest nephew, Dzhofier, is at the stage where he will ask "Why?" until he gets the right or rather satisfying answer. (sometimes annoying, most of the time, is cute).


Well, before we slept last night, he asked me to tell him a story about going to the hospital. Based on my experience last time, I told him the story when I was a toddler myself, I ran behind the backyard, tripped over a big rock, I cried, headed to the hospital, had several stiches + all. And then, he started asking the questions:


DF: Mie-Meen, why cannot run so fast on the grass?
MM: well, if you run so fast, you didnt see the rock, then you fall.. nanti ouch, have to go to the hospital.
DF: But why go to the hospital Mie-Meen?
MM: well, if you fall down, and you cut yourself, then the doctor have to stich you.
DF: But why doctor have to stich Mie-Meen?
MM: So that germs don't go inside your body, so that you won't be sick.
DF: Why you don't want to be sick?
MM: Because, if you are sick, then you cannot play outside.
DF: But, I wanna play with you Mie-Meen, because I miss you!


=)


It may not make sense, his questions & all.. but it made perfect sense to me.


Oh Dzhofier, you will always be my favourite bantal busuk..


Mie-Meen loves you!

my sacrifice..

In life, there are many things that one would need to sacrifice..
It can be time, money, love.. many things..
And this time, I know I did what I had to do..
and I believe I have done the right thing..
I've made the right decision to come back..
For them..



"Above all the others, we'll fly
And this brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice.." - Creed


No regrets at all.. =)

top reasons of being single..

Top reasons why ladies today are still single!!
(interesting yet SO true facts..)


1. The nice men are ugly.


2. The handsome men are not nice.


3. The handsome and nice men are gay.


4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are
married.


5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice
men, have no money.


6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice
men with money think we are only after their
money.


7. The handsome men without money are after our
money.


8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and
somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are
beautiful enough.


9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are
heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money,
are cowards.


10. The men who are somewhat handsome,
somewhat nice and have some money and thank
God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE
THE FIRST MOVE!!!!


11. The men who never make the first
move, automatically lose interest in us when we
take the initiative.


NOW, WHO THE HELL UNDERSTANDS MEN?

Hmmmm....

I wanna dance with somebody

Last night, I watched the dvd 'Honey', starring Jessica Alba. The dance chereography was pretty cool.. I even watched the Bonus Features bit, about 'Make your move-dance like Honey'. Kinna reminded me of my youthful teen years, and how I wanted to have my own dance studio + chereograph dances for videoclipsl.. *berangan-ing* haha..those good ol' days..


Then, I came across Yamud's blog, where he + his friends did this dance routine of Rossa's Pudar.. oh my gosh, it was HILLARIOUS! I wish I was in the video too.. hehe..such sporting friends! Yamud, you da man! Now I feel like dancing again..


"I wanna dance with somebody.."- Whitney

2 cents worth..

Today, 3 of my friends told me their

2 cents worth of thought ..


Miza said "so i think it's unnecessary.. tapi dats my 2 cents worth opinion la hehe"


Syar said "wow, if she gave me her 2 cents, I'd definately give her mine!"


Suci said "I don't know much about it, so I can't put my 2 cents in it.."


"A penny for your thought", that's what people always say....and I've collected 6 cents worth! hehe..

the perfect man

Today, I became an official member of Adelaide's Library + Community Centre. This is the place where you can borrow up to 8 Cds, 5 Dvds, and about 8 books at one time. So, mai + I borrowed a whole lot! (From Hansons to Thirsty Merc, from Willie Wonka + the Chocolate Factory to Polar Express..) So, theres heaps to watch + listen for the week..


And one of the Dvds that we borrowed was "The Perfect Man", starring Hillary Duff + Heather Locklear.



Yes, we thought it would be a typical teenage movie:- boring, silly + SO typical. But since we both haven't watch it, we're like..
"yeah, why not..".


Well guess what... I CRIED! and I loved it!


(yeah, laugh all you want.. but I aint ashamed to admit it!)


Is either I'm starting to have my PMS, or the movie kinna touched my heart to a certain extend. haha..


Actually, I find the movie...rather ok. Not a typical teenage movie. This one has an edge.. has a lil bit more fun, and meaning.. quite sweet & touching too..


There's a lot of things I like from this movie. I like how blogging + chatting was part of the movie, how they show all those fantastic + lovely icing cakes (I have been passing a cake shop near my house which does that.. LOVE those cakes!), I like the little kid who is superb in spelling, I love how Carlson from Queer Eye was being so vain + hillarious, and how Chris Noth (a.k.a Mr Big from Sex & the City) was like the 'ideal man'..


And as always, there are a few lines in the movie I loved.. =)


"In my opinion, roses always works, always."


"Because a flower like this is perfect. And giving a woman a dozen of them, it's like saying there is such a thing as perfect. And it's out there. Don't give up. You'll find it."



"Newslash. Everyone is scared. That's no reason to run away."


"Unfortunately, honey, new people are only new for one day. After that, they are just people. Who will excite you, dissapoint you, scare you a bit.. And boy, I know how tempting it is to run away when that happens. It's good for avoiding things. But the problem is you end up avoiding yourself.Avoiding people you love. You end up avoiding life."


"Turn it over. Everything always has two sides."


*Now I wish I can have a piece of an icing cake.. yumm*

loveactually..

My favourite scene of my all-time-favourite movie 'Love Actually' is this part:-

He started flipping each flash card one by one, which says :-


With any luck,
By next year
I'll be going out with one of these girls
(shows pictures with lots of sexy models/singers)
But for now let me say,
Without hope or agenda,
Just because its' Christmas
(and at Chirstmas, you tell the truth)..
To me, you are perfect



And my wasted heart will always love you
Until you look like this
(shows a picture of a mummified skeleton body)
Merry Christmas..


They smiled + gazed into each other's eyes
He gave her 2 thumbs up
picked his cards + radio and started walking away
She then ran after him, and gave him a brief kiss..



She held on to his jacket, gave him one last look and she ran back inside the house..

He turned away, and said to himself
"Enough..Enough now.."

awwwwww.......

The hardest part of moving on is letting go..
and he had finally learn to let her go..

Yes. My favourite movie scene. full stop.

mail from shades

TODAY..I got mail from my bestie Shades!!

I WAS SOOOO HAPPY.

She sent me a belated birthday card..the words in the card were meaningful..Also, she gave me a 'selamat berpuasa' card (self-made paper-card more like it..haha), which has a poem created by her for me!

It goes like this..

I have a friend who's name is Meen,
But no, no no, she is SO not mean,
She's a bubbly girl, who's ever so fun,
She makes you laugh until CONFIRM cannot run,
(walk also cannot, sit down pun seksa,
sakit perut & dada..)
I'm glad to have her in my life,
But no la, I wouldn't want to make her my wife..
Hehe..best friends only laa...OK!


Awwww Shades.. you don't have to..
Such a creative (and SO true) poem, I might add..
THANX SHADES!! The poem, I like. *winks*


See, you know she is a bestie when
1) she writes poems about yah
2) she gives the right cards (pink + buterflies! yeahh!)
3) she is just who she is...


You are wanted here too shades..missing you heaps + heaps! =)

Sesucinya Cintamu..

I was browsing through YouTube, and I came across this..



Love this duet version of 'Sesucinya Cintamu'..
Actually, I've always love it when rock singers sing a ballad song. .
With their "serak" voice..
playing their guitar..
looking at yah..
* melts*

ronald dahl books

I have been buying Cheerios lately to get FREE Ronald Dahl books!
The books are "George's Marvellous Medicine", "Fantastic Mr Fox", + "The Twits" .

I feel like a kid again~

Mental note: should read more books in the future..adult books included..

Now we can go buy other cereal brands for the house. =)

punk rock with flowers in my hair

This is the #1 song in Aussie by Sandi Thom entitled 'I wish I was a punk rock girl (with flowers in my hair).. enjoy~


Chorus
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair


When the head of state didn't play guitar,
Not everybody drove a car,
When music really mattered and radio was king,
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything


Chorus


When pop stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when God Save the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
When my mom and dad were in their teens
and anarchy was still a dream
and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail


Chorus


When record shops was still on top
and vinyl was all that they stocked
and the super info highway was still drifting out in space
kids were wearing hand me downs,
and playing games meant kick arounds
and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face


Chorus

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
(really!!)

this thing call love

I am surrounded by people who are in love,
Not complaining, but yeah.. the reality is that..
Although it sucks for me, but hey.. I'm glad to say I know how it feels..


I know how it feels every time you received an sms from him, the excitement that builds..
How when he types those sweet names for you (not trying to be mushy..)
How he just wanted to check how you doing, or watcha currently doing..
How he sms just to get in touch with you..


I know how it feels when you have the urge to call him..
How you just have that 'I-miss-you-so-much' feeling, that you need to hear his voice,
Or how excited you'll be when he just calls you
How when both are communicating, understanding each other, being there for each other..


I know how it feels when you are next to that person..
How you lean over at his shoulder, feeling safe + secure
How you hold his hand tightly, never wanting to let go..
How just being next to him, makes you happy..


I know exactly how they feel..
Gladly to say, if I were to die tomorrow, I thank God cause I have experienced it before,
The feeling of being in love..
And believe me, it is beautiful..
Although it is all over now, I thank God for letting me experience love..
The warmth, the agony,
The pain, the pleasure,
The power of love..


Love is love.. a beautiful thing.. and it is one of the best memories in my life, definately.. =)


"..kan ku jadikan kau kenangan yang terindah dalam hidupku.. "

first SALARY

Just gotten my FIRST salary today..
Checked my bank account online, and saw the 'increase' of the total bank account..
WOOHOO~!
This one is only reliefing job..
Imagine if I get a permenant job.. maybe 5 times that amount a week..
* money money money *
You know how people always say you should buy something that would remind you of your first pay?
Well, I wanted to buy Adil's 2nd hand bicycle..
UNFORTUNATELY, it got stolen..
this morning..
all because of my carelessness..
I didn't lock that bike!
(and it had a flat back tyre! silly thief! )
* SOB *
Now I'm scared to buy a bike..
What if I get careless again, waste money only..
Might as well I save up my money..
so that I can TRAVEL..
I still wanna go to EUROPE one day..
one sweet day..
sigh..
