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..

Kak Long's wedding..

The main reason why I was back in Malaysia :- for my dearest cousin, Kak Long's wedding! She is like a sister to me actually, a sister I never had.. and the best part was I get to be the bridesmaid, for the 3rd time! yeay..


Approaching her wedding day was a daily adventure..from tayar pancit, to (my first) manicure + padicure, to inai-ing our hands + legs, practising our khatam quran.. not to mention the FOOD that Aunty Gee (kak long's mom) had prepared.. yumm..


Spending the nights with Kak Long before she becomes somebody's wife is truly something that I will remember. Her nerves, her plans, her dreams.. it ain't easy to get married! But yeah, she deserved to be happy, and I'm glad Way (her hubby) is the one for her..Wish you guys the very best of marrige life and may you both be happy together =)


So here they are..the wedding pics in order..

meen is back...

HELLO EVERYBODY..

woah.. 3 months of absense from meen.. Dont worry, I'm not dead.. I was just plain BUSY! But after reading Shadesand Miza Blogs, it got me inspired (not to mention the FREE time I have now), so I've decided to reactivate my blog! ..aktifkan dirimu!



Hmm..honestly, I dunno where to start! So many things have been happening in my life.. mostly good, alhamdulillah.. In my next entries, insyallah I will explain briefly (with pictures hopefully) the things that have been happening in my life for the past few months kay..


Currently,I am back in Adelaide, and I am officially jobless.. penganggur.. tanam anggur and sayur..hehe.. a fresh graduate, seeking for teaching employment in Adelaide. I am also waiting for my Permenant Residence (PR) visa to be approved, so that I can work here for the next 5 years. So at the moment, I am not allowed to leave the country. Therefore right now, while I can, I try my very best to enjoy this honeymoon-period-before-working as much as I can. =)


Alright..meen is back..and so is her blog! *big grin*


..to be continued..
