Home is where the heart is

I'm about to be having a serious breakdown now and it's all due to It Takes Two to Tango. How can you not be worried when you have 128 amazing people waiting for you to make your next move and 73 more anticipating you to deliver your best? Put yourself in my place and see how you'd feel. No! No! It has nothing to do with that kind of Tango - though I seriously envied these people who could dance so gracefully yet aggresively at the same time ( well, not that I want to dance though ). I was talking about It Takes Two to Tango , a story I'd been writing since August last year. A story based on the Supernatural TV series that I wrote - about the adult Dean and Sam taking care of their younger selves (the picture will explain a bit if not everything. Don't ask 'cos I'll never be able to explain...if you're interested, click on the link) - a fanfiction. Yep! You heard it right, fanfiction. I see no wrongs in writing fanfictions though to some people it m...

Tips I found from chained mails invading my inbox (tell ya...if I kept getting something like this, I wouldn't mind getting a hundred chained mails a day, LOL) Five tips for a woman....... 1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job. 2. It is important that a man makes you laugh. 3. It is important to find a man you can count on! And doesn't lie to you. 4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you. And last but not least... 5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.... See, it takes five different men for a woman to acquire the perfect qualities of a man. No one's perfect, so does a man. If you want a perfect man, then have four men instead :-P Sometimes, we just asked too much. p/s: Mind ya', I'm not a pervert.

For the beautiful women out there...here's an Audrey Hepburn's ( a beautiful belle with a beautiful soul ) poem and quotes that I think are beautiful and worth sharing. ~For attractive lips, speak words of kindness..  For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.  For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. ~ ~People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.~ ~Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.~ ~As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.~ And people say beauty is made from having a slim figure, spotless face - free of zits, pimples and spots, and fair skin. I'd say the physical beauty is radiated from the i...

This what happened to me on Sunday, almost every week. ( Please don't pretend that had never happened to you...on Monday if your weekends start on Saturday ) My mind just couldn't focus on one simple dot. My mouth didn't cooperate with my brain, causing slips of the tongue as soon as my lips parted. I was being accident prone, bumping to tables and chairs... and even clumsier, dropping a thing or two to the floor and when I bent down to pick them up, another thing would fall from my hands...geez. Sunday or Monday blues might be different for different people. But for me, it's nothing about being bored. I just love my job, teaching the kids. There was nothing boring in that. Well, maybe waking up early in the morning was boring, but as soon as I stepped into the classroom filled with kids, eager to learn *yeah right* I was becoming enthusiastic. But still, the things I mentioned above would happen. Slips of the tongue, wars among my senses, being accident pro...

Tempting much? A cup full of taste. Rich with passion. A bliss. This is my comfort food. A drink which would definitely comfort me anytime I'm down. To rely on someone to be my shoulder to cry on... I couldn't hope too much. To be away from my loved ones, far from my those who would listen... I only had myself to depend on. I have friends here... But I guess everyone is busy attending their own hectic life. Couldn't blame them though. I'm the one who brought down the wall. Talking about my other side of life... to have others sympathizing over my sorry life saying..."awww...poor hon".. I don't think so. I'm not that pathetic, LOL. So, in exchange I always turned to a cup of chocolate drink when I'm feeling a little in the blue. And that cup of elixir always worked out its wonder. It never failed in elevating my spirit and mood up heaven's high. Anytime I feel down... A cup of this blissful drink is enough to cure everything. Thank yo...

Alhamdulillah... After cancelling it twice, it finally happened. 'Jamuan Mentee Q4' The time spent preparing the fried mee hoon, the soto, the chocolate marble cheesecakes and peach pudding is really worth it. The kids really enjoyed eating and spending the time together. Seeing Atta, Eza, Edi, and Kerry having their second serving of fried mee hoon, and seeing Fiza and Suliza enjoying their soto after a round of fried mee hoon (so hot the 'sambal' their sweat broke, hehe) while watching Bolt on Disney's channel really made me happy. It feels like family. Edi even fell asleep afterwards...uncaring to the girls sitting around him, LOL. Eza had his sweet time dominating the remote controls, flicking through all channels available. Kerry, as usual, not much of talking...he took up Solusi and started reading. Atta, as merry as ever... The girls, Ika, Fiza, Shud, Liza and Rihan on the other hand showed off their wife materials...doing the dishes, cleaning thing...

Tell me why people refer to an exaggeratedly dramatic person as drama Queen regardless of genders? Why queen? Why not King? Gee...I sounded like a feminist. And though the term defined ANY person could be a drama queen - not only women, we often associated it with females. Try Googling drama queen images and you'd see images of women exaggerating their roles. They either had their mascaras ruined by tears, or their hairs rumpled to shab, or their clothes torn to pieces or their hand on their head, ready to stumble backward...it was just, annoying. Here's one. See what I mean? Don't they see that men can be drama queens too? Just because those female leads are better at shedding tears, then men are not certified to be drama queens? Oh come on! Men COULD be the biggest drama queen. Okay, I might sound unjust here. Men are not supposed to shed tears, so they shouldn't be call drama queens. But aren't men a better actor, especially in real life. When ...

YaHa! After years having this blog, I finally gave it some colors. More to come though. I'm not an active blogger but I love having colors in my blogs. Wait till I upload some of my fav pics of my fav dudes..ahem...personnel I mean. This happens thanks to my little sis - who's not so little anymore by the way, and going to be bigger in the upcoming months *grins devilishly* who said "akak, your blog is boring." Cheese! (a polite way of saying ces...there, I said it) boring?!! *reads through* ok..it is lame *hangs head* Thanks angah, you officially made me a boring blogger... revenge is sweet tau... mwahahahaha ( mad scientist's laughter - refer to Dr. Cockroach, Monsters vs Aliens pls ) Dr. Cockroach - evil scientist, voice by Hugh Laurie Since I had already introduced this guy to you..let's get finished with it. A scientist with visions, he was turned into a roach in his own experiment turned disaster in Monster vs Evil. I personally adore his ev...

King Solomon's Mine by H. Rider Haggard - The novel that started it all. For me at least. Allan Quartermain's adventures through the unexplored region of Africa, over the humid and scorching deserts, up the Suliman's Berg and their climb to one of the two peaks of Sheba's Breast captured me completely, making me a die hard fan - hogging for more and more - of adventure novels. People often asked me why I rarely read romance novels. They questioned my choices for novels to be read. Brows were raised over the lists of novels I mentioned as my favorite in book reviewers gathering (among friends who read). One of my friends called me 'weirdo' for being a fanatic of adventure novels. I would say, blame it on Haggard and his King Solomon's Mine and his wise and experienced explorer Allan Quartermain. Not only the novel was captivating, the proragonist - in which the story was told in his point of view - Allan Quartermain himself is a mesmerizing character. He is...

Ekspedisi Mendaki Puncak Gunung Serapi Wajah pura-pura ceria walaupun sebenarnya dah kepenatan 28 April 2007 - Mencatat sejarah buat diri ini sebab pertama kali sampai ke puncak gunung tanpa menaiki kereta, hehe. Walaupun cubaan kali pertama mendaki gunung, menuju ke puncak Santubung, tidak kesampaian, Alhamdulillah cubaan kali kedua, kali ini ke Puncak Serapi, tidak menghampakan. Tak sia-sia latihan turun naik tangga rumah sewa empat tingkat setiap hari...hehe. Apa yang nak diceritakan bukan kehebatan mendaki gunung. Tapi pengalaman mendaki bersama rakan-rakan yang kebanyakannya baru pertama kali bertemu dan bertegur sapa -Rakan2 Persatuan Seni Silat Cekak Ustaz Hanafi Unimas dan Sarawak. Sebelum ni sekadar mendengar cerita dari orang2 dalam yang sangat dedikasi pada persatuan. Bertemu di meeting spot (restoran di pekan Matang) rasa macam nak menyorok bawah meja. Dikelilingi oleh mereka yang hebat, terasa diri ini kerdil. Apatah lagi bila diri ini tak pernah menyarung seragam...

TESL UNIMAS 2002 - the coolest batch ever!! Hehehe...sesekali nak bernostalgia sket. Asyik post entry yang skema je, kali ni nak mengimbau kisah2 silam plak, hehe. Ni sume sebab demam keputusan UPU yang akan diumumkan esok, tetiba je teringat masa dapat keputusan UPU 8 tahun lepas (ye...diulangi, 8 tahun yg lepas). Esok2 cerita di matrikulasi plak, hehe. Lepas 3 semester di Kolej MARA , susah senang dengan kawan2 dalam program matrikulasi KPM, tiba masa untuk tau keputusan UPU. Bila check online, keputusan yang diterima sgtlah mendukacitakan, tiada offer dari mana2 universiti untuk course yang diminta (course yang menyimpang terus dari subjek sains - TESL, pengajian Bahasa Inggeris dan Kaunseling). Mujurlah ada seorang teman yang bermurah hati, menawarkan diri untuk menyemak di talian infoline. Jawapan yang diterima amatlah mengujakan. Bila dapat tau ditawarkan untuk pengajian TESL, rasa nak melompat mencapai awan. Tapi bila dimaklumkan tempat pengajian, UNIMAS...Sarawak???!!...

"I noticed that, my beloved teacher is always happy nowadays, someone special in your heart?" A smile popped up as soon as I read that comment from one of my dearest students on my facebook's wallpost. If you read this, thank you my dear for noticing and thank you for keeping this teacher of yours in your heart. I hope he knows how much his thoughts made me happy. Yupe! He made a point there. For certain unknown reasons, I am happy. And I don't think it was because I have someone special in my heart. My significant other half is there in my heart for years and he is special everyday. My mom, she's the queen reigning my heart since forever. After all, everyone in my heart is special. I am happy for unknown reasons. Don't ask me what, I don't know. Sometimes the emotions rushed in like a broken dam. They fell on me without me being conscious. I must be affected by a lot of things happening around me and most of the times, I didn't even realize ho...

B-o-d-o-h . Kamus Dewan edisi Tiga mendefinisikan bodoh sebagai sukar mengerti atau mempelajari sesuatu, bebal, dungu, tolol. Di suatu organisasi yang perdebatannya disiarkan secara langsung di kaca tv, dua tahun lalu, perkataan bodoh tidak dibenarkan penggunaannya dan diminta digantikan dengan kurang cerdik supaya bunyinya lebih sopan. Tapi hari ini, perkataan yang didefinisikan sebagai 'kurang cerdik' itu meluncur keluar dari mulut yang empunya diri mungkin lebih dari sepatutnya. Subhanallah, ampunkanlah diriku yang bodoh ini. Tidak malu diri ini mengaku kebodohan kerana sedar diri ini dicipta sebagai hamba yang kurang sempurna. Tetapi terasa sedih diri ini apabila melihat saudara2 di sekelilingnya yang menafikan kelemahan diri. Umpama peribahasa yang indah ditatap tapi tajam menghiris untuk mereka yang memahami - 'Bodoh tidak dapat diajar, pandai tidak dapat mengajar' . Mereka yang dimaksudkan peribahasa ini adalah golongan yang sentiasa berlagak pandai dan tidak m...

~ And I'll never see those days again And things will never be that way again But thats just how it goes, People change, But I know I wont forget you ~ Where are you now by Honor Society People really changed. Ordinary people like you and me. We gave out promises to that someone that we would never forget him or her. We promised that we would be there for them, that they would feel our presence anywhere they go and everytime they need a shoulder to cry on, that every secrets and problems are worth sharing with, that we would love them like no one will ever do, that they are going to remain the best thing that ever happened to us, and more promises that we thought we could keep... We said those were promises from the heart and we would never betray them. And then we parted...hundreds or thousands miles away. Reaching out for each other was impossible. Time passed, days went by, and the promises that we kept deep in the bottom of our heart were soon forgotten. Oh! Don...
