When I create anything, be it a wallpaper or a drawing, I always make sure there are borders. Everything is in its place and there is a place for everything. I also plan where I place a picture. In other words, I can be very structured when I'm working. My youngest sister can be the opposite. She is creative but in a very chaotic manner. Well, to me, at least. She swears it's the latest trend.

I have seen many kinds of people. Some I interacted with, even liked, while some I just knew from a distance. I have seen them make mistakes and I have seen some of  them learn from their mistakes. The humbler ones even admitted to committing those mistakes and were big enough to apologise for them. The not-so-humble ones either never admitted upon knowing or just went their merry way feeling

I think children seldom consider how their actions and words can affect their parents. Unless you have parents like mine who will either smack you for a bad word or action or give you the dressing down of your life. Having said that, I also think the reverse also happens. Parents sometimes don't seem to consider how their actions and words can affect their children.I know parents believe that

When Times at Parkson shut down, I still kept my membership because I knew I would go to KL often enough to make it worth it. However, I was a wee bit miffed when the birthday card came from them after I got back from KL and it was valid only within the month of my birthday. Much to my utter joy, the Times at the Hills opened and I had another bookstore to haunt. So I went there a few days

I've been considering moving to my LiveJournal. I really do like how the LiveJournal is set up. Okay, I'm being a girl when I say that I really like how I can make my blog look pretty at the drop of a pin (or in this case, with a quick CSS tweak).And I can lock it up when I want to while leaving it wide open if I choose to.But....(yes, always a 'but')To get the full feeling of LJ, I might need to

I believe that there more there is at stake, the more effort you should put into it.What am I talking about?When I first started dating Shook, I wasn't hoping to get married. I was just trying out this dating thing. But the one thing I never forgot was to treat his mother well and with respect. So, although in my mind I was not thinking of marrying him, I still behaved like a good

I don't think I need to say more.I loved the movie. It was part of a ritual my housemates and I had in the US. We'd watch Dirty Dancing about once a month. It was usually the time that all of us were at the house at the same. It was our quality time together. And we all looked forward to it. Always. Well, I did.I'm sad he's gone. While he never made it into the big league of Hollywood, he was

Thanks to Gette and Shook, I am now looking forward to two things.1) Hot men who just seem to make really funny movies when they set their minds to it.I love the hooker budget and the fact that George Clooney is a Jedi!! Shook made me watch the trailer. Now, not only do I want to watch the movie, I want to own the dvd!2) The only multi player game that I am rather excited about. Gette, we're on

But! So little time, so many thoughts to share.I think I'll share next week. When I have holidays and I cannot eat so I have more, more time to do many, many other things.Like blog. And buy books. And organise my music files. And play The Sims 3!!

I haven't been here for awhile.Nothing different is going on with me. It's just that by the time I get back from work, I'm not thinking of the computer or the internet. My priority then is Athena. Since I spend all day away from her, I like to use the evenings to catch up on anything I'd missed out. Sometimes, I wish some people would remember that instead of assuming I am always available to run

So I went out and bought myself a new graphics card. Nothing too flashy. Just the NVidia 9800 GT. Pretty inexpensive at about RM569, I think. Only thing is it requires a bigger power supply as my current one is only running at 350 watts. The card needs at least a 550watts power supply. So I'll do that tomorrow.I also got a 2Gb RAM so my pc is currently running on 3 Gigs of RAM and a 4Gb Kingston

As of today, I have officially become a supporter of and contributor to Electronic Arts.After much texting to my youngest sister in Dubai, she finally messaged me and said my mom bought me an original copy of The Sims 3. Even after I told her that I had bought a dubious copy already to test my system with. But since they've already got it for me, I guess I can now sign up at the website and

I have been waiting for The Sims 3 since last year. Despite knowing how Americans write their dates, I was excited enough that I once got fooled by someone into thinking it was coming out in February instead of June.I am serious enough about Sims that I am prepared to buy the original game. Not pirated, not copied. I figured since I love it so much, I should at least get one original version

When Shook came home for a break this last week, he showed me an episode from the show Deadliest Warrior. It was the Green Beret vs Spetsnaz episode. I found it very interesting. I'm not sure if they've ever had a face-off in real life but on the show, they did. This was episode 6. There has been about 9 or ten episodes so far. I've only watched the Green Berets episode and the Yakuza vs Mafia

I went to watch Terminator Salvation yesterday with Shook. I've been planning to watch it this holiday anyway so yesterday we took time out from Athena and went.All I can say is that the fourth movie in any series tend to get to me. I used to watch movies a lot with my father so movies like Terminator, Predator and Rambo were the norm.When I watched Rambo 4, I cried at the end. It is sad when you

One thing has been bothering me the past few days. Well, I read about it last week and have not seen anything else about it. I hope this means that someone has been shown the error of his statement and has been asked to be realistic about it.For years now, we have nicely called the Mat Rempits as Mat Rempits. Basically, they are motorcyclists who race illegally on the streets usually at night. At

For as long as I can remember, there is one thing I have ever wanted to do, and do well. And that is to write.Someone simple-minded might say - "You can write." To which I will only reply - "If that is what you believe, then you have never read."At one point in my life, I contemplated writing for a living. And I'm sure many friends in my circle of friends have thought the same at one point in

I finally got round to watching Twilight. Actually, I just started but I've been distracted so far by 1) a tummy ache, 2) Athena and 3) Athena's bath time. I will finish watching it eventually.I uploaded all 2300+ photos from my camera into my computer which I will then back-up to the external hard disc. And then I will make copies on DVD.

After years of looking at the same blog layout, today I decided to change it.

I have a few stories to tell. But the one that sticks most in my mind is of a girl. Technically, she is old enough to be called a woman but she seriously lacks the maturity usually associated with women. In fact, if I wanted to be more accurate, I would call her a spoilt brat. I just can't believe someone like her exists. But then, it takes many types to make this world go round and she is just

I have been too tired or busy to produce a single coherent sentence that does not have to do with work. Hence my inability to blog. It's not as if I have created a quota for myself or anything. It's just that I look at my blog and I WANT to blog. I just don't know what to say.Everything is a jumble in my mind.

No, I'm not pregnant again. Haha! Just thought I'd clarify that.Anyway, a few days ago, my father suddenly messaged me from China asking what I would want if I could have anything. If there is one question I don't like, that would be it. I have always hated being disappointed. So when I get a question like this, it just opens up that disappointment jar because the question has such a wide range

I am always saddened by the loss of lives and even more saddened by the fact that greed overcame caution.However, I cannot understand why a massive fundraising was carried out to assist those who lost their homes in the Bukit Antarabangsa incident. I mean, even the spokesperson admitted that these were

I was reading about the two little girls who were killed in a landslide and my knee-jerk reaction was to penalise those loggers and quarry operators. I might even blame the person who agreed to build that house.You see, the landslide is said to could have been caused by the heavy rain. Yet, for as long as I've studied Science and Geography, I know that vegetation holds soil together to avoid such

I was struck by a strong urge to go shopping today. So, after taking Nuril from her holiday programme classes, we went to The Spring. And, as per normal, we ended up at MPH. I decided that I might as well use my rebates while I was there. So, I ran around looking for any books which caught my eye.After taking some and putting back others and then taking some more and putting back what were in my

First up - my reason for this post.Now, I have always enjoyed Supernatural. In fact, I'm one of the very few people I know and see regularly who does watch Supernatural. I know why my guy friends refused to watch - the lack of any hot babes. However, I have to add that Seasons 3 and 4 are full of hot babes. At least, I think guys would call them hot babes.I started watching Supernatural because

Because there was nothing else to watch tonight, I actually sat through part of an episode of 90210. It never caught my interest for the simple reasons that it looks shallow and I'm too old to be watching that.However, while watching it, it brought back way too many memories of Beverly Hills 90210. It got really weird for me when I felt excited seeing the Peach Pit where the old Beverly Hills

I thought about joining NaNoWriMo. I've been contemplating it for years but the event happens during the busiest time of the year for me. And I didn't need a month long event to add to the already existing stress of my work.However, this year, I find myself having little to occupy my time during this month. I do still go into work at times to pick up some exam papers to mark or to key in reports

When Athena was born, Shook went to National Registration Department to get her registered. However, when he got home, we both noticed that she is listed as a Malay in her birth certificate. So, figuring that we will need Shook around to prove that he is Melanau so that she could be listed as a Melanau, we waited until yesterday to get the paperwork done.All this time, we figured it was just

I actually saw one that caught my interest. It was featured in the Star newspaper last week but I never got the time to check it out.I really would like to play this but, like all card games, I'll need someone to play with. And considering that the card gamers I know would not have either the patience or the interest for this particular genre, I'm not sure who will play with me.I would really

I really don't mind waking up every 3 hours at night. In fact, I rather enjoy it. It's the 'us' time Athena and I have. I don't mind the changing and the feeding. I do rather mind the crying because it sometimes scares me. I don't mind having to adjust the air-con temperature a lot because she gets cranky if it's too hot or too cold.But I do really mind when people expect me to be awake in the

I am not one to air my dirty laundry all over the Internet but there are just some things that really pisses me off and I just need to get it off my chest.But I need to begin with the bit that does not piss me off. My daughter, Puteri Athena Maimunah, was born on Friday 26 September 2008 at 7.57 p.m. She looks a whole lot like her father, which sends that saying that if you want your child to

The way I see it, if you start a relationship based on a shallow reason, then most likely you'll go through a shallow relationship. It's worst when both parties in the relationship are too stupid. Well, if one is in it for greed and the other out of desperation...what exactly did you expect to end up with?The funniest part is when they get all self-righteous about who is right and who is wrong.

I know someone who has one of the most appalling behaviours ever.He doesn't close his mouth or cover it or even turn away when he sneezes or coughs. In fact, he seems to almost purposely turn to the nearest person when he sneezes or coughs. And when he gives anyone food of any kind, he has his finger either in the dish or on the food.I wonder whether he is just stupid or oblivious or plain

Sometimes in the course of teaching my students, I come across topics or thoughts that make me wonder as well.As a teacher, I try to help my students do and be good while being realistic enough to make them aware of the world they live in. Other than topics of homosexuality, they also asked me how I knew I loved my husband enough to marry him.This has always been something that was on my mind the

Today was the first time I went out for more than an hour since the holidays began. But I only went out for lunch then pay bills then went to buy stuff for my room. So it wasn't all selfish.But, going out during the day always gives me a bit of a culture shock. One reason is that when I'm at work, I'm at work for 8 hours straight. I don't know what daytime traffic is like. So during the holidays,

I've been doing a lot of things on my own this week. My family has gone to Singapore, partly for a holiday and mostly for an official function. The one sister left here seems more concerned with her friends and bringing unknown guys to our house. Most friends I know are either working or rather not do what I'd like to do. And besides, who wants to be seen with a pregnant friend?So, on Tuesday, I

Revenge makes such incredible movie fodder.I just got home from watching Death Race. I seriously thought it would be some Mad Max-esque racing movie. I also figured it would be mindless at best.Turns out I was wrong. It wasn't as predictable as some movies I've watched recently, although I did expect a few of the outcome and it was mad Max-esque. I thought the plot might be choppy but the writers

First, I would like to say that anyone can correct me if I am wrong.But, I am getting tired of people making such a big thing out of something we can do very little about.For one, there was the price hike of petrol. We all know that we had it very good because our fuel was subsidised by the government. Now, just because the government, unlike some narrow-minded parties, need to think of the big

Our favourite vodka provider launched its mango version in February and it reached Singapore to be launched in July. All I need now is to wait until it gets to Sarawak somehow. As much as I do want to drink it, I believe in moderation nowadays.

I started the book Breaking Dawn on Sunday and finished it last night.My verdict is still pretty much intact, as far as I am concerned. If you've read all 4 books, you'll find a repetition of plot and formula.The only thing I did like was the baby. I've always been fascinated by the possibility of a vampire child.

I first heard of the Twilight series from Gette but I couldn't remember her take on it. Then I heard of it again from my students. Usually when it comes to my students, I'm just so happy they know what a book is for that I'm glad they're reading.Then one of them decided to impress me with the storyline.

Yesterday was another of those days when I really didn't want to be alone. Fortunately, Gette was there to rescue me from possible depression. I always get down-in-the-dumps when Shook leaves home to go back to Bintulu. I try not to be but it tends to hit me at the worst possible moment. Like yesterday, after Gette very eagerly agreed to go watch X-Files and The Mummy, we went for the X-Files

My school gave us a long weekend after the Sports meet on Friday. So, knowing this, I flew off to Bintulu for the weekend and came back only yesterday.Whenever I mention Bintulu to anyone here, they grimace and ask 'What's in Bintulu?' really distastefully. To which I will reply as innocently as I can 'My husband.', which I hope conveys the message of 'You're not thinking very well, are you?'.

A combination of the two can be really annoying.On Thursday, I woke up with a very sore throat. I struggled through teaching all day then drank lots of water before going for voice lessons that night.It's bad enough that I've become really absent-minded.

And then they get pissed off when you point out that you were merely stating a fact and not starting said argument. I've done the former but I've always managed to avoid the latter. Probably because with some people, especially those I regard as friends, I just prefer not to start an argument. It

I've watched more serious ones like Cats, Grease, Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and even M. Butterfly. So, to compare them to Beauty and the Beast would be unfair.Beauty and the Beast is geared for children although the children need to

I have a case of the mind and heart are willing but the body is not.I really wanted to go out this evening and meet up with Shah and Rin and Ivan. But, as always during the first week of school, I am just too tired to go anywhere. All I want to do is sleep. And when I'm tired nowadays, I have a greater tendency to waddle.It doesn't help that the past two days my baby has been restless everything

I think the live telecast of the Parliament sessions are good in many ways.It shows us what our representatives are truly doing, whether they are for the Government or not.It also shows us that not everything the Opposition bloggers write on their blogs are true. They say one thing but decide not to report everything. And yet they take the holier-than-thou road and say they speak more truths than

When I first met Shook, the last thing I expected from him was to be a romantic. I mean, this was the guy who dissed weddings saying that everytime he gets invited to one, he'd either skip it or buy the newly-wed couple a guide book to divorce. And when I mention anything that is romantic, he'd say phht and change the subject. He also once told me he got freaked out when one of his ex-girlfriends

Whenever Shook comes home, we always go visit the site where our new house is being built. When I first saw it go up, I thought the place was cosy and small. Now that they've cleared up most of the rubble, I have come to realise that our house is huge.It looks relatively small from the outside but the kitchen and dining room takes on the entire back part of the house. Our master bedroom is the

The cadets at Shook's academy were introduced or re-introduced to Top Gun some months back. By Shook, of course.Regardless of the fact that this is the movie that got me all gooey over pilots and even more buttery over Tomcats. F-14s I think they are. I know.

I need more books to read! I just finished Lorenzo Carcaterra's Chasers and am about to start on Dean Koontz's Frankenstein book 2. I still have Eric Haney's Inside the Delta Force but it's not actually light reading.I had also planned to type out all my own stories so there would be less risk of losing them. Right now, they're in hard copy, handwritten. But when I look at the piles of notebooks

I woke up automatically this morning and wondered if Shook was okay.Then I read Chasers by Lorenzo Carcaterra for a while. After three shooting scenes and two cold-blooded murders, I decided.I decided that some questions in the Universe are just not meant to be answered by us mortals. And I have better things to do with my life.So with that, I am truly, really going to let it go and move on. If

To understand my annoyance, you need to know the background. So, after reading this, you tell me if I'm justified or if someone is lying to me.A few months ago, Shook called me talking constantly about this female instructor he met. So, despite my own misgivings I asked about her, why she's there. The normal things. He told me and after I told him my fears, he assured me that he thinks of her as

I trusted. My husband trusted.Bitch snake screwed with the wrong people.I'm not going to bother just yet but an animal deserves being clinically treated. So I will. I want to know what goes on in this animal's brain.Why animal? Because nothing human would behave this way.So I'll treat her like the animal she is. To be studied and prodded. If she gets humiliated and ridiculed, no skin off my nose.

I am, by my very own admission, a sucker for the repentant, the lost, the lonely and the sad.So, what do I do? I used to get attracted to them under a misguided sense of tryng to help. Either that or I started to think I loved them.Now that I love Shook, I don't share that love but I do stil try to help him and his friends. because helping his friends alleviates his worry and his hurt.

Let me make one thing clear. I have never had anything anyone else wants before. Oh, they may want my life because of my parents being able to afford many things and the fact that I have a very good and easy understanding relationship with my parents. But those are not mine to give. I earned them fair and square and my parents' riches aren't exactly mine. I'm just at the right place at the right

My doctor tried to give me sick leave today. While thinking of the greater good, I refused to take the sick leave. While driving back to school, I wondered if I was wise to do so. Then I figured, who cares? Nobody cares so why should I? Nobody is going to thank me for not missing school despite the fact that I just made things easier for them. Nobody cares whether I'm sick.

As I said earlier, I tend to dream or, at least, I tend to remember my dreams these days.Last night's dream was a little bizarre. I was actually in a warehouse with some people I did not know. One of them was a serial killer. I remember we had to do something. We actually walked by a wall with holes at various height in it. One of the guys I was with peeked through one hole and declared he could

I have two bedrooms in my house now. One is mine and always has been. the other is one I share with Shook when he comes home. Usually, when he goes back to Bintulu, I migrate back to my own room. But, for the past few days, I've been staying put in our room. I realised that I sleep better and I don't wake up when I need to roll around on the bed. And, looking at the bed covers every morning, it's

Albert Einstein once defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.Even if we don't regard it completely as insanity, a lot of times we still realise the futility of it. Yet, why do we do it?Why do we choose to give people the benefit of the doubt despite knowing full well that they will make the same mistakes again?Why do we still go help our

Take into consideration that I get unusually depressed whenever Shook's not around, everyone notices that I'm grinning a lot more nowadays.That's because I'm going to KL today. And because Shook's already in KL. And because when I talked to him yesterday and this morning, he sounded happier than he has ever sounded in awhile. And also because the baby lets me eat nowadays but still has a cap on

I think I'm ready for a change. Or maybe it's Shook's child talking. And no, contrary to anyone's belief, I am not using the child as a convenient excuse. Although you do have to admit that I am acting rather strange a lot nowadays.I have been angry and in despair and depressed the last few weeks. But yesterday, after wallowing half the day, I got angry at myself for being stupid and sad. So I

For some unknown reason, I decided to update my blogroll. I took some sites out because they are hardly ever updated. I updated, renamed and "relocated" some others. I've decided to just name the sites according to their owners' names because at the rate my memory is going, I forgot half of the websites I had on the roll.I'm supposed to do work but I get a wee bit nauseous looking down too long.

I've been watching a chinese series on ntv7 the past few weeks. I'm not watching it seriously but I just let it play in the background. The thing is the series is in Teochew and I'm purposely only listening so I could see just how my Teochew is going.
