SELAMAT HARI RAYA.....MAMMA MIA!!

I know this post is late but i still made it in time....before month end!! hehe....

As usual it was the festive mood all around. Surprisingly, mom cooked chicken rendang, there was ketupat and lemang in my house too!!! Talk about being Malaysian!!

I didn't go any visiting but i treated myself on the first day of Raya by going to my 2nd home...Mid Valley, and watched Mamma Mia!! Aaaaaa!!!! If only i could scream for joy in the cinema!!! Really enjoyed the movie!!! All the ABBA classics, the simple storyline, the humor, the GIRL POWER, Pierce Brosnan!!! OHHH!!! Need i say more??!!

Then my photography instincts hit me and soon i was snapping with my handphone all the raya deco. This year the deco was very homely, kampung-ish, 50s era. Of course i'm gonna attached my artwork here, ok.

Waltz Disney is a GENIUS!! Can't thank him enough for creating CARTOONS!!! I'm sure every single homosapien out there be it young and old still have a lil' Disney character in them.

As the title of this post goes, i'm a BIG fan of that adorable mouse. I think he's the only mouse all women especially housewives can tolerate...hahaha!!

I'm not gonna be writing a thesis on the history of Disney or Mickey...just penning..oops..i mean typing down a few words as an extra for the pictures that's attached to this...heheheh!! The pictures were taken in 1 of MICKEY MOUSE's outlets here in Malaysia....MidValley. He was just too cute to resist and there sure was a No.1 Die-Hard Fan!! Enjoy!!

Take A Bow....tata!!

I'm not a fan of Rihanna but this song was released coincidently when i was going through a bad patch in life. I've been hearing everybody talking about this song but never had the mood. However, when i was driving from work 1 night this song was on the radio and it just hit me how good this song was!!!

Then, the "Idea-Bulb" glowed above my head. I sincerely wanted to dedicated this song to someone....ehem. Wanted to sign off with style and this was it!! So, i stepped on the accelarator and within minutes i was in front of the monitor downloading the song and within seconds it was delivered through email. Man, did i feel satisfied!!! :)

So, people, esp galz....check this out!


Take A Bow Lyrics

Oh oh How bout a round of applause
A standing ovation
ohohoh yeah yeah yeah yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standin outside my house
Tryin to apologize
You’re so ugly when you cry
(Please) Just cut it out

_[Chorus]_
Don’t tell me you’re sorry cause you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closin
That was quite a show
Very entertainin
But it’s over now (But it's over now)
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone(You better hurry up)
before the sprinklers come on(come on)
Talkin’ bout, girl, I love you, you’re the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on

_[Chorus]_

And don’t tell me you’re sorry cuz you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closin
That was quite a show
Very entertainin
But it’s over now(But it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
And the award for the best liar goes to you(Goes to you)
For make'n me believe that you could be Faithful to me
Lets hear your speech out
How about a round of applause
A standing ovation

_[Chorus]_

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goinBut now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closin
That was quite a show
Very entertainin
But it’s over now(But it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now

CATHECUMENT

I've been going through 14 weeks of journey through the path of Christ and finally I and the other 40 odd members in my class have gone through the transition from Enquirers to Cathecument as of yesterday 20.09.2008

We were in church by 8.30am and was welcomed with a very simple breakfast of coffee and nasi lemak. Then we had a few deep meditating sessions and further insights of feeling the presence of God and to my shock till now, I did feel a gush of wind touched me when I was shutting down myself to the sounds and thoughts in me. He was there with us.





Then came the session which i feared most.....personal reflection!! I swore to myself that i won't get emotional today no matter what...but God really tested me. We were told to highlight and discussed among our group members the most happiest and traumatic moments in our lives. When my turn came to speak, i was trembling. I looked over to my closest friend in the group, Shew and she gave me a smile. I started off with my best moment in life which was during my Form 6 lifetime. I was so happy with my dear friends who are still with me till today...thx gals!!


I hesitated when it was my worst moment. Shew put her arm on my legs to comfort me as if she knew what was on my mind. I looked over to my Godmom and she too stretched out her hand to hold mine and give me extra strength to speak. I started off by saying that it was this year i had the most traumatic experience when my eyes welled up with tears. I couldn't go on further. Tears were streaming down my cheeks. My Godmom told me to let it go instead of keeping it inside and pretending because that too is a sin. She also told that everybody here would understand and fight it together with me. Shew prompted the next person in line to continue.




I feel really blessed and happy to be in this phase of life. God has really been with me at all times. These people who are also in the same position as me...meaning the transition in life, are really friendly, helpful, supportive and caring. Everybody has a spiritual awareness in them which is what is being taught to us all this while.

After lunch, we had our rehearsal and back to class again, this time, to watch a movie on Jesus' public ministries. Sadly, it was quite a bad copy and knowing most of the male species in the class were already in slumberland.....zzzzzzz...I had to keep on rubbing my eyes to stay awake!

Everyone was taught how to recite the Hail Mary with the newly blessed rosaries that were given to us. Then we rushed to get dressed for the 6pm mass. During mass, the church parish, Father Paulino introduced and welcomed us into the community and congregation of the church. He then went around to put the sign of the Cross on all our foreheads. I became emotional again. I wasn't sad but more like a rejoice feeling. Then our sponsors were to make the sign of the Cross on ours ears, eyes and shoulders. We were given the Bible also. Mass ended and we congratulated each other for coming this far.

We've still got another 6months ahead to be baptised. I pray and hope that the whole 42 members of the RCIA year 2008-2009 will realise and receive blessings from God. Till then, we shall just be together in this path of spiritual awakening.

APOLOGIES...

I'M SORRY.....these are my only words for the long absence of me updating my blog. My last entry was a newly found friendship....still hangin on good as ever there. Other than that i've been really busy with work and also my spiritual life......was in alot of doubts and confusion.I also had to digest some new discoveries which was shocking and traumatising...sigh....life is tough for me.

However, through the advise from family and true friends, i was determined to get back to my feet and be strong. Believed in my faith towards God and am slowly taking my baby steps.

My 1st plan was to change my outlook, which i did....cropped my locks!!! I usually regret after coming home from the saloon but this time, i felt so differant. More relieved, confident and....happy!! Many observed and complimented my new look. This really made me look at myself in a different way now.....more positively.

I wanna wish my sincere thanks once again to a very important person whom i promised to mentione here.....Cupcakes Queen, Aina Delaila!! She shot beautiful pictures of me....thx again gal!!

ENCOUNTER WITH THE 3RD KIND!!!

Recently, i reconnected with a friend whom i would have never thought of calling! Seriously....cos...this person is such a WEIRDO!!! Well, that's my honest opinion from the day we met till now. I'm the only 1 with this thought....hehe...you know me...different :P

Anyways, the reason i called up this person was to check on something personal...won't share it here...sorry! So happens i was sick and practically lost my voice, so this person...let's give a name ok...hhmmm....BULLY!! Yes, that's the best name because that's the true nature of BULLY!! Well, BULLY coudn't regconize my voice.

I've known BULLY for 4 years but never called and kept in touch like how normal people would.Due to certain circumstances currently, i had to contact BULLY.

BULLY cheered me up which kind of surprised me! Felt thankful for that. BULLY was talking to me in a manner which i was so comfortable in and which actually brought back some good memories which left me feeling lighter in my heart.I never felt that awkwardness you'll feel when you talk to a long-lost friend. Although it's been this many years, BULLY is still the same..but then again....I'm in a "Don't/Can't trust Anyone" zone currently.

The idea i'm writing this is not only to thank BULLY who is ever willing to help me...but also to remind all you people out there that friendship does mean a lot in our lives..that is good friends, i mean.

"A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED"


It really goes a long way and certain friendships move on to another level or part their ways. I do believe that friendship can change into a relationship but not vice-versa.

As for me now, I've decided to have as many good friends as possible and appreciate life for myself, for once. I also don't wanna lose the old ones. To my BGFF, I LOVE YOU ALL...you know who you are. For those that i met on the way, for example BULLY, Uncle Screwtape....thank you for being my friend and my aplogies for bothering you. Really hope we can maintain this friendship because good people are hard to find nowadays. The only truly good person i know is...JESUS....Amen!
