let's give a shot

I read a horoscope a few weeks ago...and it said some sort like "today, you can write poems or any writings bla bla bla"
i remember i loved to write when i was in high school, most of its poems, short novel-dialogue thingy. I was eager to submit entries for school magazines :)

til one incident happened - not going to share it here, but the clue is a house. my house.
that day i stopped writing, not intentionally, not my being affected by the tragedy, but i dunno, i just stop.

i'm not a horoscope-avid ekekeke sesekali baca ok la :)
so when it was written that capricorn could write that day, i was like 'let's give a shot' attitude. A simple poem created.

So here it goes...

*My Nightingale*

I am happy
I tend to sing
I am gloomy
I cry to heal

My other part
Is still searching
Dear Nightingale
I have gone out from my hiding

Once acquaintance
We’ll know each other
To share and cherish times together

We are happy
We tend to sing
We are gloomy
We cry to heal

A pair of Nightingales
Pairing life together
We are here my Nightingale

macam kelakar pun ada, mcm poyo pun ada..nak nak bila terbaca bnyk kali hahah :p
whatever, at least i tried this one! :)

Tribute to Miss Right & Miss Left

Imagine you need to control all your breathing,your blinking eyes...that would be disastrous, and for that gifts, we human take advantage.

and now, i am sufferng, prescribed by a doctor early arthritis which i believe more of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Then i search on the net, it is wrist arthritis and under that category there is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. :(

I realize how much 'sacrifice' that my right hand had done for me and obviously i took advantage of Miss Right.

i never thought turning a doorknob would need an effort, i thought it was effortless. Now, i am having trouble turning the doorknob or taking out my handphone from my right pants' pocket or need my left hand assistance turning the car steering wheel when parking. Worse, i cant even put on a watch on Miss Right. I feel heavy, pain. I dont brush my teeth with right hand now, i seek Miss Left aid.

It bangs me on the head that my everyday routine activities are efforts-consumated even just to hold a glass of water.

And here, i acknowledge Miss Right roles in my everyday life and this entry is to honour Miss Right for all the deeds she has done for me. Please rest and get well soon!

Not to forget Miss Left for your continuous assistance :) Good job!

What a tribute hah.. huhu...sakit seh tangan...bila nak baik sepenuhnye ni... saya sayang tangan saya. Cepat baik ye!


p/s thanx ennie for belated birthday present! yellow edc shirt :) ooo...i like!

Rafting @ Kuala Kubu

Last Saturday 7 March, the 6 of us (me,ila,ennie,fara,fahmie,apek) went to white water rafting. I had fun due to geng yg best and good instructor, Bai. Korie was quiet but i could see he has the skills to manuever the boat but need to polish up his PR skill ewah :p
The rapids are ok up to my standard (bear in mind, i'm not easily satisfied and it's hard to make me content hehe)

But i like the rescue part where Bai said to me " sekarang boleh rescue" when he saw me just looking at fara n fahmie who were capsized from the boat and i gave a spontaneous response "a'a la, rescue!"which fahmie point out later on haha. i thought i could pull fara into the boat solo haha, end up bai had to help ekekeke... berat ko berapa fara? :D

Another experience was the "mari practise bot terbalik" i was under the boat when it happened and you need to remind yourselve not to get panic even though it was a practise.

The last rapid was nothing but i had be given ala2 the trust to manuever the boat in front and i enjoyed the moment when the boat ala2 outdo the rapid which i repeat, i was at the front part of the boat :) (ganti tempat instructor ok..)

The popular rapids are chicken drop and 2nd canyon but my level of fulfillment if it is ranged from 1-10 i could give 5-6. nothing can compare to rapids in Bali so far, i mean i only raft twice now, so need a third one to actually make comparison :) but i did enjoy and had fun. not a best giler level, but i can give A for it.

p/s i wanted to feel A+ feeling...tp A pun ok ape :)

Jason Mraz Concert

Let me summarize my enjoyment of that day, it was 65%. Celah tiang beb dpt tgk Mraz! :D frust!
If jason mraz waved at us audience of RM68, my satisfaction would be 70% hehe...dia tak lambai pun kat aku n ila....penat kitorang melambai hehe :p
if i got the proper seating at the price of RM68, means no dinner that day, my enjoyment would be 75%-80%.
If i got proper seating of RM68 and Jason waved at us, that would be 90% enjoyment!
If i got proper seating of RM68 plus dinner and Jason waved at us, that would be 100% enjoyment! :)
well, those were all ifs hehehe....

When i watched you tube to listen to his songs, i was impressed with his performance. He is an entertainer. A good one! Every place he goes, he will sing differently, there will always adlib and he changes the music arrangement. That makes the concert fresh every time he performs and you will not be boring with the same style. That, i can summarize about Jason Mraz personality :)

p/s me like his silly acts on the stage :)

The curios case of benjamin button

responds of the movies are too slow, boring!
me, i just love the notion of the story, fresh idea. i am content with the movie.

i am no brad pitt fan, so i dont have expectations.
friends, they love brad pitt, so they found the movie slow and boring. they want the handsome brad pitt :) i think.

brad pitt has changed my perception of him in this film - he can actually act.
i judge him as a commercial actor. so he knows how to act in typical action or commercial movies but a no-no star in a film as an epic as this. i thought, can he act such as tom hanks or even leonardo(at least) in serious movies? so i was wrong. i think he carries benjamin button just fine.

I dont find the movie a slow pace since i dont know which scene can the director fasten it up. it is in good pace. the people he met, the touch they imprint in his heart and what i like is the touch that he marks on others' hearts. i can see benjamin treasures life and he views it differently from others as he is afraid of getting younger instead of getting older.

It triggers me, If i have a choice of getting younger or older, i choose getting older. reverse aging is scary, you have to sacrifice a lot.

i appreciate the movie. it's a warm movie. i dont need climax in this movie, just a journey of the life is enough. i am overwhelmed by the movie today than yesterday. and i feel pity who dont fit as the curious case of benjamin button audience. however, i understand why they dont appreciate that kind of movie. different people, different view.

the fact that the writer fiztgerald wrote it in 1920s really trigger me that writers in those years have eyes beyond imaginations.

but i believe all movies that have sacrifices or hardships are paid off by the love and hope they have to make them go on and value life more.

p/s i watched so many slower movies than this, but what i like most of the slow movies are the novel idea they portray..

Do you agree?

Do you agree with me, that a normal person should perasan herself to be beautiful? i can tell by a person's picture taken by oneself. it's ok to find yourself pretty :)

a few closed friends of mine, we do say something about "cantik gak kite ni yek" or "cantik gak aku ni ye :) " and we are proud and we had our laughs.

but the reason i write down this entry is that there is a friend who doesnt share this kind of feeling cantik. i dunno if she doesnt find herself cantik, but i think she does feel pretty but afraid to express something like "cantik gak gambo aku yg ni ye" yet when one of her friends say so, she doesnt go with the flow and i would say unintentionally hurt a little tiny bit of her friend's feeling.

in that case, i found that friend a little abnormal hehehe

i use to friend with people when say something pretty about themselves, the other friends would support and say something like "a'a la....cantik gambo ko yg ni :)" (dgn syarat, gambo tu mmg cantik la hehe) and when i finally met someone who doesnt feel the same way, i am quite shocked. sbb tak pernah jumpa org mcm ni, so my first thought was "rupanya, ade gak org mcm ni"
maybe dia plak rasa aku yg abnormal hehe... :p

so i learn my lesson not to say such things in front of her, but just in front of my other friends
who can accept that kind of praises for themselves.

to me, when you are with your frineds who you trust, you dont feel embarrass to share things that you dont actually disclose to other people. tentang boyfren la, tentang org mcm mana yg dia suka la, their crushes la.. or share sinful gossips to your friends that you know can keep secrets, no telling others.

i have set of friends that i can share with but i think i can tell everything to just one. i feel comfortable to share my perasans or my shames to her. she doesnt make faces and you can tell she is sincere to listen and doesnt judge.

slumdog millionaire

what make this movie the best movie, receiving awards around the world? that makes me want to sit as an audience in a cinema, rather than buy a dvd.
i am contented with the screenplay.. nothing to criticized..what i am not pleased is that, there was no substitles. Hindustani english is not my thing. susah skit nak paham. the accent needed my concentration. so ada lah part2 yg terlepas sbb tak paham. geram lak. i never failed to watch a movie in cinema without subtitles, citer melayu pun aku rasa ada subtitles. tiba2, slumdog millionaire takde plak. if the english is american or british, i can still get it. although i am quite a hindustani fan, (depends la pelakon dia sape kan hehe) tp kalau diorang ckp english, aku still ada masalah memahami ape yg dicakapkan. so can u imagine, the whole story they talk in english?

slumdog millionaire is an eye opener too. no wonder, people in mumbai or india as general dislike the fact of poverty and children-dgn sampah, kotor, kehinaan all those portray in this film. but love and hope drive the movie and you can see how people moving on because of what they hold on to after all the strives.
