"Paris Hilton’s My New BFF"

Well i seriously dont know where to begin. I have never got the chance to watch this yet. I stumbled upon this when I was busy surfing the net researching for taxation law when tadaaaaaaaaaaaa... Bimbo sungguh laa. Amazing thing is, it lasted for 3 freaking seasons and even managed to make its way to Britain and Dubai. Amboi. Seems like the whole world wants to know what this Ms Socialite is up to. But seriously, my brain somewhat refuses to embrace the concept. To find a new BFF through a reality show? I could sense a hint of despration there. And the winner? What is she trying to prove or she can prove by bagging away the main title? Best la kot kena kejar dgn paparazzi. Pictures will be all over the internet, mags, u name it. Lepas tu, come the 2nd, 3rd season and Paris selected her new winner-BFF-wuteva, you're history already.

if you have THAT much money, you can buy anything - even (best) friends

Oh boy. SangatTakBolehBelah ok. Please don't fall for this people. Let's indulge in something else more enriching and stimulating to the mind and soul. Like Drop Dead Diva.

"life looks different the second time around"

Once you've started watching, you'd sure be hooked :)

and this too, shall pass....

"I admit it's tempting to wish for the perfect boss - the perfect parent - or the perfect outfit. But maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we've been dealt, and accesorize what we've got" - Carrie Bradshaw, SATC

Nobody said it like you did Ms.Carrie Bradshaw. Often we complained of the less-satisfactory conditions in our lives that we forgot to just be grateful of what we have now. Our endless whining and complaining sometimes tempted us to just go on and on about our misfortune that sometimes it distracted us from seeing clearly. In hard times like these (I am referring to my fast-going-down-south mood/motivation to work), all we could see is negativity. True. Who in the right mind could still whole-heartedly work when bosses are demanding, nature of work is just getting harder and harder that it made you question of your own capability, smart but stuck-up people who refused to help you and all sorts of crappy things that are beyond your control (nonsensical policies,anyone?). Seriously, I think I'd get grey hair & wrinkles faster than I'd imagine. Oklah, I am not gonna say "Hey, let's think positive and bust our butts off happily and finish our work like we're told to!" No, no that'd be suicidal. But since our endless whining & complaining are not taking us anywhere (kalau kite komplen pastu boss baik hati nak panjangkan deadline and allow balik rumah sharp pukul 5 hari2 tu best lah jugak kan..) Mungkin lah we need to rethink our strategies. Optimize the options whateva that we have now, eventhough I know they're not much. Survival is the only way to go as far as I can see. I know its a very hard thing to do. Macamana nak perform kalau you are motivationally being degraded everytime you tried your best? (Tulah kalau people cannot see or just refuse to see the way you do.Ni lah masalah nya dgn generation gaps..) As what Carrie Bradshaw said, accesorize with what we've got. And I am gonna try very hard to do just that. Wish me luck..

sunday morning,rain is falling...

Yesterday when I was browsing through the bookshelves at Borders...I came across this:

Ok, besides the attention-grabbing graphic on the cover, what I am interested in the most is the fact that this book contains no E's at all!!! (this is the whole purpose of this book). Serious. I schemed through lah kan. Memang betul takde. The word "the" yang paling koman sekali pun langsung not being used anywhere in the book at all. Hmm..Out of curiosity, nak beli ke tak?

saturday's thrills & spills

i am still under heavy sedation of my fever, flu and cough meds. But nevertheless...I am very excited to tell you what i've been up to today.

As it is the wedding season, I went to a kenduri with my family, like what I have been doing for the past 1 month. It was all nice and pretty and very pink. Food was marvellous.Siap interview the caterer, for the purpose of my own research. Aaaanddddd next....Ok here comes the highlight of my day.. off I went to The Curve with Mr.Man. Ada gig yay, ada gig yay!!!

Okla actually it wasnt really a gig lah. A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of Mr.Man is a renowned photographer.He was having this exhibit for his artwork where a number of his photographers friends came to take snapshots of interesting happenings of the day. So i guess, the mini show where Mr.Man was supposed to perform, was sort of a selingan for the crowd that came by today.Dahla kitorg sampai sejam lambat.Definitely not fashionably late.Memang lambat gile.Sampai2, org dah ramai.Ingat sikit je..sekali tu adala dlm 30+ ppl. Whoaaa.. Mr.Man of course, nerve-wreck abes, as this was the first time ever he played the drums in front of THAT many people.Ramai okkkk. When the time came, it turned out to be awesooomeeeeeeee!! *loud applause* As an amateur drummer who only practised on Rockband, I think the outcome was pretty well-done.Bangga I tau.Tihihihih... The band performed 3 songs by Oasis, "Live Forever", "Some Might Say" and "Don't Look Back in Anger". Nice choice. Maka I, of course, secara otomatik menjadi camera/video girl.Menggigil jugaklah tangan nak maintain blackberry tu dari bergegar while they played 3 songs consecutively.

All in all, I think it was a very good experience. I have been wanting to see him performed live since forever.Finally, dapat jugak.Not as a guitarist though.Next time you main lah gitar pulak. Please please pleaseee.. Hehehe.. Since ramai betul photographers yg dtg, agak segan lah jugak I dok snap2 gambar and record the performance pakai phone je.Orang lain semua slr tahap bazooka with all the super canggih lenses.Ehemmm..Mr.Man, mungkin kita (awak) perlu mempunyai/membeli camera juga? >_<

After that we head straight to Dome for coffee and some snacks, sambil meng-review all the pics and the videos of his debut performance itu. Festive betul The Curve nih, as always.Never fail to amuse me. Several restaurants were celebrating Halloween.Complete with the deco of pumpkins, hantu2 gantung, spider webs and jack-o-lanterns.Macam rumah hantu.Yang meriah :D Oh and there were some workers of Tony Roma's dressing up as Freddie Kruger and that scary guy dalam Halloween tu. Sambil lari2 kejar2 takutkan orang ramai.Hahah..Best!! But I guess Halloween Celebration here wasnt as big as the ones in the west. Kids wearing costumes (scary or not) and going from house to house, trick-or-treating sambil collect candies. Or pumpkin carving macam ni?It sure looked fun!!!

Oh lupa, the piccas. Enjoysss and Happy Halloween lovelies!
