-this is half-expected..n since when i become soo into this boring political n cabinet stuff.n i dont even recognize their faces at all..needless to say, lets familiarize yourself with this new cabinet..perhaps for the next 5 years to come...

Al Fatihah..

"Every human being is bound to taste death, [and] in the end unto Us shall all be brought back,"(Al-Ankabut:57)

My heartfelt and deepest condolences to Hida for the loss of her sister this morning..be strong and may God gives you strength to get through this difficult time...

This one also goes to Mar ,for the loss of one of her twin babies last Saturday.You're such a strong mom,Mar.My prayers are always with you and your family...


انّا للہ و انّا الیہی رجیعون

Al-Fatihah...

Losing Grip..

A punishing verdict i can tell..As expected,the people have spoken..For the first time since Independence, five state governments are not in the hands of the Barisan Nasional (BN),what more, the normal magical two-thirds majority was breached.

Does that rings the bell Pak Lah?Past experience does not offer great comfort.Don't sleep,time to work hard...

-whoever won the seat, the result indicates that Malaysians have something approaching serious political competition. I love changes.I love Malaysia..^_^

Illek-syen!

The general election is here again...as a responsible citizen, proud that I have registered to vote for the first time.Terima kasih kepada bapaku yang tolong regiskan..hehe..

Yesterday's conversation with my makcik...

Makcik: Ahad haritu calon parti 'X' datang.Senamrobik budak tadika pun turun.Bagus betul..

Me : Nak pancing undi,biasalah.

Makcik : Haah, lepas abis mengundini, nak telefon jemput datang merasmi majlis pun susah..

Me : Hehe..biasalah..

Makcik : Aja balik nanti nak pangkah sape? (my makcik tak balik mengundi sebab kena jaga bilik gerakan mengundi)

Me : Entah. Kalau nak adil, pangkah je semua...huhu.


..I find these cartoons by Zunar-sincere, sarcastic n funny...


Father of...

The symbol that matters..^_^..

Pirates of carry BN??...

Haha..just for laugh.Undi adalah rahsia..vote for the right person,not the party.My vote goes to the person who are willing and capable to serve the people and the country, and if you want to do your bit to effect a change for the better, think well before you vote at the election.Think twice..Vote with a reason but not a season...(semangat ni..hehe)

Memetik kata2 seorang kawan "korang votela sapepun,aku macam ni jugak"'...heh

When Devil bounce back...

Nani in his somersault style..

4-0?The Devil was not so evil to extend another goal towards the Gunners and the forth goal from Fletcher at the 74 minutes of the game was just enough... it's ok if we lost to Man City last week cos we have mended the broken heart and demolished the league leader's hopes in the FA Cup...a sweeet revenge..;) just enough...

All i can say..it was a humiliating defeat for the championship rivals to lost 4 nil with Man U when they are five point lead at the top of the premier league ..:)

Perhaps there is a long way to go and hope United get a physiological advantage from this victory in the next games remaining.

...and hope the Ac Milan don't sprinkles too much salt into the Gunner's wounds in the next Champion League match.hehe..

And I wanna sing:

Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
And the reds go marching on, on, on.

Feng Shui???

Just got back from Bangi court, feel a little bit upset when the judge urged me to withdraw my case today.Urgh,i hate judges..

As I walked into the office today,I noticed some new stuff in my room.At first i thought this has something to do with the Chinese New Year mood but the office manager told me that the feng shui master asked her to do so.She claimed that my room is a 'cronic area' where the bad spirit lies..what the...??So she put these:

the red cushion on my chair.

this vase where they called it 'pokok duit' ( in order to bring some 'ong' to the office)

this lamp..i dont know what it is called.I was told to keep it on 24 hours,but i switch it off..haha

the red rug under my table...??

...and I'm not that curious to inquire her the rational and the purpose of each stuff above as far as feng shui is concerned.Ok, my big boss is so much into this feng shui stuff where he believes that feng shui is a theory which affects your surroundings and environment n causes many subtle changes to your mental state.And according to him,somehow it also affects the profit and the prosperity of the office. I've been informed that for this 2008 feng shui,my table cannot face north..I found this thing is seemingly innocuous trend but to say that my room is a cronic area relating to this feng shui thingy is a total nonsense,and plus he said all these things are needed to get rid of all the bad spirits..heh.. and ironically, my boss is a Muslim+ Malay, and so is my office manager.

Relating to this feng shui stuff, I guess there is a logic to the fact that your environment affects you for e.g.in terms of the arrangement of the furniture n so on but I don’t believe in Feng Shui as the people who practise it- cos i think they are totally superstitious.Muslims are taught to put their trust in Allah and I’m just glad that i dont have to invest in the feng shui master to ensure prosperity in my life.Allah knows best.

Do you believe in feng shui??

My own love feng shui said that I have to be more expressive in loving someone in order to make myself happy..(^^)

Weekend-ers...

I changed my mind..haha..i cannot stand with the previous dark template.it gave me a real headache whenever i lay my eyes on it.and think this one's better though its quite pastel-ish..well,as long as its pink..heh.. and for those who like the previous skin,sorry i cannot stick to that one..

last weekend was great..

-spent some time with Mr H at Mid on Saturday,watching movies,Cuci to be specific,n had a yummylicious ice-cream @ Haagen Dazs..

-second futsal session on sunday,only 6 turned up..me,hida,atie,ayu,nadira n zaza,not forgotten,kak e-ta as a supporter.3 players for each team and everyone took turn to be the goalie sebab pancit+10 minutes stop n rest for every 15 minutes match..haha

-after the match,we headed to Sunway Pyramid,went for some sort of so-called window shopping,n it was Hida who begged us to watch this movie despite zaza's objection-Sweeney Todd-scary-bloody movie..

-i was enjoying the weekend too much that i actually forgot that i've an interview tomorrow..duh:(

New home..

One of my 2008 resolutions is having a new home for my blog...think this one is quite dark and gloomy compared to my previous templates..i hate it actually, but too lazy to change and edit the background colour and the entire blog by hosting the coding on my own..nevermind lah,just stick to dis one first..

About the new template...You can access to my other links and tag board when u click on the "pull" string.. you can still comment on my entries.. just click on the number next to the date..my previous entries are at the bottom of the page..will update later..c ya..;)
