al-fatihah..

I don't usually do postings to commemorate the passing of family and friends.. mainly besause its so hard to even bring myself to key in the words.. to see it form into sentences that triggers a flash back of the happy memories embedded in my heart.. But last night.. I only come to knowledge that an acquaintance had passed in a tragic car accident..

I barely knew him but in the few exhange of words it was evident that he was a nice person.. the friends had nothing but great things to say about him.. and I wept. Maybe it was the love that I sensed from those around him.. maybe its the passing of such a young life with so much potential.. or maybe.. for the loss of a friendship that could have been... maybe I'm PMSing... I really can't say why I was emotional about it... weeping with eyes like a faucet.. The only reason I could think of is that its not everyday that you find a friend that you truly wanna keep in your life.. al-fatihah.

mimpi itu indah

I got a surprise call a couple of days back... I always enjoy an occasional call from the besties, especially when its just to say hi and have a chat about anything and everything. So about that call... it was a shocker cos a friend was telling me that she'd dreamt that I was getting married!!! and.... that she was doing the preparations for me!! hahahahahha seriouskah?! are dreams just figments of ur immagination resulted from remnants of your conscious thoughts?... or is there such a thing as an omen in dreams... makes me wonder... hmmmmm...

something something

I had a great time yesterday, met up with the besties at villa mauri and had an early dinner. Catched up on life and anything worth talking about. It was fun but in a different setting cos we're all supposedly grown ups now... though inside.... I sooooo feel like a kid.

The selection of food was exquisite ... love the setting, very homey yet with a touch of elegance.the food served up looked tempting, but I gotta say, and this is only a person's opinion okay so don't go jumping on me with daggers and knives :P

I think the food is over rated, don't get me wrong, it is really good but I have had better.. I mean to say this only because I had heard mountains of praises for the food they serve, and rightly so cos everything was delicious... but a little dissapointed that it doesn't come up to par with my opinion of something of a must to have from time to time... like casbah's london kebabs ouhhh I crave for one right now... cos when you've been meaning to have something that you hear was so great but turns out to be not too much out of the ordinary.... well you get the picture..

the salmon I had was a tad over cooked, the sauce was my favourite of the dish, the whole big prawns with the creamy sauce was confusing... i say that cos I assume the salmon should be the main attraction... and throwing in the prawns just makes the dish more of a caserole rather than an exquisite salmon platter.. this dish deludes me... I'm torn between liking and hating it, the beef was ouuuh so delish, tender and just beautiful.. what brings it down?.. the potatoes. It tasted like uncooked dough... annisah had this one.. biasaler mau jua merasa makanan orang aku ahh hahaha kna offer so makan jer lah rezki kan hehe

this dish was hailed as the fave amongst the customers... I seriously was so looking forward to have a taste... and when i dug in.. it was a little bland... I would've prefered the one made at cheesebox ouuh that one really rocks! but aside all that... i have a slight cold so that might have somehow affected my tastebuds... maybe I am being too critical about my evaluation.. hahaha belabih ahh macam food critique saja... but I love good food.. and I see nothing wrong with that yes? and besides it is just a matter of opinion.


At night went to watch a MOVIE with a couple of the cousins and my brothers.
I hadn't done that in such a loooooonggg while... the last movie I saw was jangan tegur.. bloody scarey.

the kids being silly, looks like a cynical benetton ad hahaI just had to take a photo in "there". Doing the routine touch-up before heading for the cinema, the niece had challenged me to a DDR contest and I was sweating profusely... "glistening" she puts its :P
the massive crowd waiting to get in... a full house and this is the 10.30pm movie slot.. and on a weekday!

the movie we sacrificed sleep for, it being a weekday and all...

if you're a big fan of the first movie, you are gonna want to watch this one. Yes you read it right.. bloody AWESOME!! I was entranced from beginning to end and it was so worth the few hours cut from my beauty*ehEm*sleep hahaha and there was even a few part that made me teary eyed! the line up of actors are an amazing bunch and you could really relate to the characters, all in all.. I give it two thumbs up!! a 12 out of 10! best part is it was unpredictable and you're on your toes at all times! kudos to those who made this film possible.

marathon?

do you get the feel when u excercise, you become addicted and you just couldn't help but want to go do all that physical exertion and make yourself soak in sweat.. its all that endorphin I think.. its like a drug.. but a healthy one, cos its the body that produces it.. and its suppose to make you happy.. and it does, everytime I finish the usual sweat-session, apart from the panting and squeal of agony during the excercise, I'd be humming and singing and on the whole being merry and happy :)

caya si mas n me went jogging twice on friday.. morning and late afternoon!! hahahah hebat ketagihan kami atu

the price I paid for my enthusiasm... my pantleg ripped open.. mas and I joked that I was looking very funk ghetto hahahah whatever that means... hobo maybe? errmmm hahaha


at the end of the jog.. menyaman-nyamankan hati minum air kelapa ouuuhhh so nice and refreshing~

girls outing

aahhhhh nothing like an afternoon spent with the girls, just chlling and chit chatting, catching up for lost time... we had the high tea set at bakerlyn and trust me the set for two feeds four to five persons! we had a hard time trying to finish the food and it is sooo gewwd I tell you.

Sebenarnya kan makan di KIMCHI, the latest craze in dining experience.. but apparently they don't open til 6pm, so change of venue.. a tad dissapointed cos I was craving for korean food~

me and the girls striking a pose.. biasaler kalau bejumpa mesti take the customary photo ;)
back in college we had bird nicknames for each other, me and siti.. chic n duck respectively hahahah so when us cluck n quacks get together all hell breaks loose hahahah hilang segala keayuan hahahah hilang demure hahahahah but who cares! we always have a great time and that is all that matters :)

victorious

It feels good to win... and win we did in the office badminton tournament in women's doubles category. the prize?... hmmm a tad dissapointing considering... you can spot it in the picture the brightest bag in yellow and orangey red. Though I must say, it was more the fun of it that i entered and having time to mix with the office mates.

after the prize presentation we just had to celebrate the only way I could think of.. sushi~~~~ yummmmssss

KaybEe

mY triP doWn to Kb.. iT toOk so many attempts, we eVen tried planninG it waY ahEad of tiMe.. iT wOuld in thE enD Get postPonEd.. buKan pulaNg apa, iT's jusT tHat eVeryoNe's goT theiR oWN liVes to LiVe aNd it's quitE a juGGle to fiX a day wHen nothing coulD possibLy gEt in tHe waY of uS enjoyiNg ouR roaD trip. iT waS AwesoME thouGh tHe feeLing...

immagine this... there's only ONE cafe in kb that you cud hang out in... they've got nice food.. but considering the multitude of choices you have at your exposure in bandar.... well... you get the picture. Aside all that, life seemed more relaxed in kb than it is in bandar... and it almost seems that you are in a different time zone altogether.. I guess it would be a very nice place to live in if you are into quiet life :)

My strawberry slush whachamacallit...

Better Than Me

lyrics

I think you can do much better than me

After all the lies that I made you believe

Guilt kicks in and I start to see

The edge of the bed

Where your nightgown used to be

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes

I found those pictures I took

That you were looking for

If there's one memory I don't want to lose

That time at the mall

You and me in the dressing room

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder

Wish I never would've said it's over

And I can't pretend...

I won't think about you when I'm older

Cause we never really had our closure

This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

(And I think you should know this)

(You deserve much better than me)
