the songmaker says it aint so bad..~

hmmm.... my weekend to-date.. . .. .

work fridays are usually off at 5pm.. Sharp. Yup, me and colleagues make sure we log off dutifully at 5 sharp come each flyday... .

but this friday, i stayed back a little and helped audrey a bit on the sebuthargas... not anything out of obligation, more to feelin' like it. audrey. she's my comrade at the office. Great..

met up with bestie for some late dinner slash supper right after... at MY honeymoon, their kepong branch.. cuz i figured it'd be less rushy to get to their 1U branch... and we culd hang around for longer too..

with the regular media prima advert booklets lying around the haus, i'd been wanting to get my hands on those few mouth-watering-looking desserts on their pages...

yeh, i sorta ordered what i saw on their pages... their mustavs i guess. (pictures hijacked from some flogger's site..u knw there's always plenty of 'em around the net -tq!) behold, the Durian pancake and the Sweet balls coated with crushed peanut. :)

and no, im not turning into a flogger anytime soon...

the desserts are not too bad at all... a lil' pricey, and they hav nuthin' other than desserts. make sure u go on filled stomach. dont say i didnt warn ya...

the only complaint me and bestie had was, Obviously, their endless plays of ballads from (old) boybands~! Ugghh!!!!.... BSB, westlife, boyzone, even i-swear came out!!

1

anyhow.... woke up feelin like a hundred dollars on saturday morning... :)

everything seems to be so Alive and Kicking~!!!

nope, had no caffeine fix or beer-out the nite before..

simply, the weekends are just Great!!!

got a call from Zuk soon after... my, my, this pregger is really feelin free and itchy these days... and so we loafed around at jusco, kepong... did some brunch and snooted around for some materna clothings.... haha~! and i learned that Enfa Materna is for the pregnant lady, not the kid... ;)

some light shoppin around the supermarket, and i ended up 60 bucks poorer... darn the supermarts! they're eville~!!!!!

drove mom to KB for some fruits and prayer items for tomorrow. yup, it's Chor-Yat tomorrow.

and mom even ajak-ed me for a trip to the temple tomorrow... for the 'nine emperor gods' prayin fest. tink i got that right...

'i'll see', i told her... sis and hubs will be taking her anyway....

jog session was cancelled... i do admit i was being a bit laidback about that. but the skies gave me enuff reason to! heheheh.... i do realize too, that once bestie goes away for some time, it'd be somewhat not the same... especially the weekends... especially the jogs at frim.

but heck with it.

3 months is still bearable.. i guess. somehow it has to.

but anytime longer than that? or something permanent? boy, i'd hav to make some huge mindset adjustments on that.

i guess, hence all the earlier post on nothing stays the same forever... :)

and hence also, i especially liked tonight's bucking session....

nothing stays the same forever...

yeh, bit long windy here....

but culd u blame me for that?

really, nothing stays the same forever! and we tend to overlook that so often in our lifetime.

not implying anything here. not hinting any either.

just clear cut that: i need to remind myself.

every moment is to be lived for.

1

even now.. at this hour. with the sky rumbling outside. (which reminds me of Combust's sukuru rumburu..) and mom religiously worshipping the psp outside... Sort of simply, refusing to let the moment go.

is this waht caffeine does to people???

or is it just me?? ?

another itch scratched...

note to self:

nothing stays the same forever,
Live The Moment as every moment is a deserving one..
nothing stays the same forever,
Dont Sweat Petty Things...!!
nothing stays the same forever,
Forgive and Forget, LiFe's great after all!
nothing stays the same forever,
Seize The Day~!


i'm sure these are all things that we are aware of.. but just that, every now and then, you'd wake up to a great day (note: Weekend), and feel that somewhat, LiFe's gushing with all sorts of possibilities, IF only you're earnest and posi+ive enuff to make it work !!

with that being said, Weekends are just GREAT~!! XD

kid again.. .

well, i cant remember much waht we did together as kids.... with the most vivid being mid-autumn festivals where we light candles at our back'yard'.... and that's about it (that, and also the part where we kneel there the next day to scrape off the cooled wax.. tsk!).
5 years apart make a world of a difference when one's a blur-12 and the other a happening-17..
=) Undeniably.. .


but now, lately, we've been Kids again....
and now with Yang in tow, it's legitimate for us to go wandering into places like the national zoo and this, the KL Bird Park... (just another stone's throw away from kepong.... graaeet!!)

(young) & reckless ? . .

driving home these 2 nights from dinners.. cruising down the bare LDP somewhat tipsy, Miley came on the airwaves.. . on both times, with her kinda infectious 'yeaahhyeahh, it's a party in the USA!' ..
i know, u know, she's a SYT... but seriously, her tunes though not thaat lasting, but still, sort of gets to you with her fresh crispy voice.. .
and this one, it has got some sort of edge to it... like .. being young, and reckless, stoopid, Loud.. just goofin' around making a fool of urself, havin' fun being the bottomline... :)
and yes, i think this one's kinda catchy too... with her 'yeaahhyeahh...' kinda outta-tunish....

so i tried lookin' her up on youtube.... my, my, miley sure has grown...




well, just to prove that this Tune IS, kinda hot after all... some clever soul got hold of it and turned it into a somewhat more meaningful version of it.... and now it's 'yeaahhyeahh, everything's gonna be okay!'....
well, if you just so happen to loathe miley, well then, maybe you could just take a look at this one. same tune, same catchy feel, with some whole load of well-meaning, positivey lyrics.... :)




LiFe.... does not Judge~!!

blu moon.. .

.. once in a blue moon, me and my mates do go for concerts... well, either they're darn cheap, or they're entirely free.. but sumtimes, we Do Pay for those that we adore...
the Peas were in town recently, ... for this...

well, what can i say.. the Peas hav always been marvellous with their works, no doubt about that.
their new single Meet Me Halfway really hit all the right notes with me then..
and then there was the all-time winner Where is the Love .. :)
cant help with the flash backs to the times when me and mates go clubbin.. . 1 bottle 6 glasses... =D


and then there was today.. . another blissful Sunday.. .
while lounging at Assam Pedas @ the Curve, catchin' up with Ling,
we chanced upon this fabulous group...

playing among all other fabulous tunes, ... the jazzy ~Blue Moon.




.. . Gimme More SUNDAYS~!!!

11-August-2009 : Dad upkeeping the aquarium.. Yang kepoh-ing in true little boy style.. . (pic taken by Sis..)
my comment?: some things in this world are Priceless... :)

17-September-2009: @6.46pm, left work a.s.a.p... to beat this.. .

11minutes later: well, at least im safe and dry inside the car yea??.. .

22-September-2009: @5.16pm... our weekly jog at FRIM.. .

my say?: ive discovered that discovering a new album on the ipod while jogging through a track without another soul in sight (well, in front of you that is..) is kind of therapeutic... the said album?: khalil fong's Timeless...

.. the simple pleasures in LiFe.. . :)

the stars align.. .

it's the first day of the 4-days long Raya holidays... :)
friends, colleagues, and Sis too, will be goin' away for some well-deserved breaks all around the country.... eating trip down south to Malacca, hangin' out slow & easy in Ipoh, hill-trips to breezy Cameron, beach retreats at our east coast Terengganu, and even waterfall treks at Sungai Lembing ... :)

yes, these are but a few of the many plans my dear acquantainces will be indulging themselves in these 4 days... in a nutshell, they've pretty much covered all the popular weekend retreats available here in dear ol' Mehsia... we hav the city, the food, the beaches, the islands, the hills (pure hills and also the one with the casino), the jungles, the caves, and if you'd like to flex your passport a little, you culd always, drive north to Hadyai, or down south to Singapore.. :)

i know it's a 'lil over the month August, but i'm being all patriotic here shouting I LUV MALAYSIA~!! hehehh.... awh, come on, dont you??!!? :D


back to september... it's the last day of the fasting month Ramadhan today..
dear dad has been following the practice of fasting since day one of Ramadhan.. .much to the amusement of friends and colleagues (me & sis's) at work.... dad's been doing it since the previous Ramadhan in '08... we feel proud of him for keeping at it for a full month, consistently wakin' up at 4 in the morning, and not breaking fast until at least 7.30 in the evening. he even forgo his daily and weekly rides and jogs, cuz really... im sure no one wuld be able to cope. 'stead, he does his cycling at about 9 in the evening... there was one evening when me, mom and sis were strolling home after bakuteh dinner nearby, and saw him wheeling his ride out... we were kinda boggled. like, "where's he goin at this hour???"

the most in-the-face one actually happened this morning.
was still starin' at the telly way 'early' after late night at starbucks ended... and dad came out from the room at exactly 4 in the morning. i asked what was he doing up so early? and he told me as a matter of factly: "Sahur marh~!"
=S

so i made way for him to do his daily stretches in the living room... for the record, he does perfect 180deg folds, stretching his arms upwards then bending all the way down, forehead to kneecaps. `salute! to dad!

and right before i slipped off to bed, i managed to see what he made for his Sahur meal:

.. seriously, it was something verri close to this.

happy Eid ul-Fitr everyone~~~
