Counting DAYS..which seems endless
Having 24 hours a day is not enough for me..
and i believe that having 24 hours a day is not enough for you too!
only managed to sleep for 2 hours last night..wohho..
because i promised someone to help her finish her work..
oh what a life i'm having right now
and i really feel that i'm going to sunk in the sea of assignments sooner or later
i dont think that i have enough strength to cope with all this.
in addition..things that are happening around me are not helping me but instead giving me more and more pressure
Ya Allah, I pray with all my heart,please oh please make things easy for us. Give us the courage Ya Allah, to complete our second semester successfully without having any trouble.Amin.
p/s: i would like to express my highest gratitude to Kak Anis who has practically read and highlighted my book for me in the journey to make me understand chapter 6.
I LOVE YOU KAK NIS :)
p/ss: also to nini who has explained to me the whole presentatation of her to give me more confidence. thank you! i've understand better on what i'm going to present about because of u :)
also to all the people who have supported me, no matter in what ways, THANK U! you have no ideas on how glad i'm to have friends like you guys :)
huhu..presenting things in front is not one of my strength and i'm terrified of the idea of presenting things that i've no knowledge about.
one more thing,
KAK AIMI!!
may Allah bless you wherever you go in whatever you are doing. WE will always pray for your success now and here after.

Please STOP and STARE at this...
Friends Forever….
friends we will be now and forever
friends we will stay through any weather
rainy days or sunny, will be together
friends so in love to one another
when you feel alone, just remember
in good times and bad i stay forever
nothing could come ever between us
even the world will be against us
no one will take this friendship away from us
just you and me, until the world will see us through
with this friendship, we will never ever be blue
as long as you have me and i have you,
when they talk of friends, it always me and you
dont be weary if the sun doesnt shine on you
i’ll be your light and never i will leave you
i walked with you in vain
even if i take all the pain
i wont leave you in the rain
http://www.sweetrhymes.com/friendship-poems/friends-forever/
me oh my!
why, who deleted it?
that one was quite an interesting one,
or did that person feel intimidated by the post?
"siapa makan cili, dia yang terasa pedasnya, kn?"
anyway, you (as in the person who did it), just want to tell you, dont ever do that again to other peoples' posts. just appreciate what that person has to say. unless you are the writer of the post, then you can delete it (and dont be such a yenta)
mind your 'own bussiness!!!
being positive
let us see this from the positive point of view. no man is perfect. if A(the writer of the post) is not satisfied with B(the hypocrito - A said so), it is not wrong for A to tell B. don't make this matter become bigger. i don't think that we will be able to stay until our last semester if we keep on like this. so im hoping that A and B will be good as usual and we all will have a cheerful and a meaningful days in class.

"Learn by Heart"...remember???
hello guys...anies here.
i dont know why,
suddenly i remember of dr. bern's tagline...hehehe...
"learn by heart"....do you still remember??
for me, this tagline is very catchy and easily stuck in my mind and i cannot get rid of it..hahaha.
it also reminds me of dr.chai because last semester when she ask the whole class about what will be our advice for our junior, part1 student...
suddenly this tagline slips through my tongue, and the whole class start laughing crazily...haha
but i think, dr.chai still don't understand why we laugh until today...don't you think so???
anyway, i think this tagline will be the most memorable things that we will be talking about even though we have have already graduated from this course later...is that true??

and i don't think that all words in this highly unfair world could ever be enough to describe how i feel..
i have 1001 reason to feel every negative feeling the meanest person could ever have right now..
i understand how a killer feel, when they strangle up the neck of the person they hate..the hatred is very deep that no slight of mercy could ever peek into his heart..
i understand how seriously distressed the person who commits suicide..they're already dead when they have decided to end it all..even though they are now breathing..
the goal is simple..whether u destroy things that u despise or let it destroy u..it just a matter of time..
i know i need to let it out but i can't. people die with their dark secrets..only some unfortunate ones revealed.

It is already more than a week since it broke down. it cause traffic jammed and it very dangerous for the road user especially the motorcyclist...dont you think so?? who should we put the blame for this faulty??

What a DAY!
this is alia, your little sister speaking :)
yeah, yesterday has been a very hectic day for us. with a crisis here and there..what to do..this is life and life wouldn't be so much beautiful without colours. no matter the colour is bright or dull, it helps to paint our life. making our life colourful.
i need to tell you that our booth at menara was sooo hot yesterday. i mean hot! there were too many people and the place was so crowded.
even dr. chai can't stand the heat (dr chai has migrain). so, she put the responsibility to handle the booth on our shoulders (there were 7 people there on duty ~nini,kuzi,hafiz,me, n 3 bm seniors)
in all, it was a great experience being there!
my highest gratitude to these wonderful people~
mr hafiz
thank you for accompanying us despite of all the challenges!
we were touched :')
(but after this u have to come to all dr param's classes yeah :D)
to miss hasinah n kak ita,
i love you!
thanks 4 coming yesterday.
hope we will finish our forum successfully on thursday. :)
to miss nini,
oh, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PREPARING THE GAME!
the booth would be so much dull without it.
and sorry i didn't help you out..i really want to help
i promise that i'll try my best not to go home so often k :) huhu..
and a very special dedication to lat,
thank you so much for being a very responsible captain to us
i know sometimes you feel burdened carrying this job
but remember, you can always delegate your tasks to us and we will help you willingly.
plus, you definitely can improve your communication skills as you are always arranging plans with the lecturer :)
and also to all my brothers and sisters, lets finish our assignments fast so that we can go out and have fun together!!
one thing for sure, i am happy to be a part of lgb2a and i really hope that our friendship will sail forever :)
(i'm feeling extra happy because i have just got an sms telling that dr krish's class this afternoon is cancelled..hooray!~)
It's been a LONG time...
Special dedication to dearest Hasinah...
Hasinah, please cheer up, okay? i was stunned and sad seeing you like that... there's nothing wrong, you've done nothing wrong and things are just doing great, we all did the same thing (all mixed up and confused at that time) so, please don't put the blame on yourself...we were all shocked - we all thought that you were going to announce something...don't put on that cloudy face, get rid of it and please be just as cheerful as you really are, okay? ...(^_^)
i guess i've got nothing more to say..(i feel as if im just writing 'nothing' here, don't you think? sort of plain piece of paragraph...?)well, before putting an end to this blog, i want to say i really LOVE you guys; all of you; each and everyone of you and on behalf of the rest of the class, "thank you, Latfi"...you've been a really good 'ketua kelas' for the previous semester and at the moment...
till then, keep smiling, ok??
and remember, laughter is still the best medicine for our health!

The True Face of Frank Abagnale!!

I was curious one day about what the famous American conman Frank Abagnale looks like. Is he as attractive as Leonardo de Caprio that play as him in Catch Me If You Can? Sometimes its amazed me on things that you can find in the internet. So anyway, ladies and gentleman, I now revealed to you Frank Abagnale himself. P/S: He is not that bad looking after all. I wonder if he could pull it off as a rockstar. I'm not so sure about the woman beside him, probably his wife.

Twilight Parody Script

I was surfin the utube today looking for a good twilight parody. Then I came across with this one that I'm goin to share with you guys. Its a hillarious one ( people who already watched twilight will get the idea). Its in the forest scene where Bella uncover the truth about Edward.
The Original Dialogue
Bella : Your possibly fast and strong. Your skins is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color and sometimes you speak like you're from a different time. You never even drink anything. You don't go out in sunlight. How old are you?
Edward : 17
Bella : How long you been 17?
Edward : Awhile
Bella : I know what you are?
Edward : Say it....out loud.
Bella : Vampires
Edward : Answer me the most basic question,what do I eat?
Bella : Blood
Edward : Are you afraid?
Bella : No.
The Parody Dialogue
Bella : Your possibly fat and merry, your cheeks are rosy red. I know what you are.
Edward : Say it....out loud.
Bella : Santa
Edward : Ask me the most basic question, what do I eat?
Bella : Milk....and cookies
Edward : Have u been bad this year?
Bella : No...I've been naughty.

An Odyssey to 'Kuala Lumpur'???
Friday 6/2/2009
Everybody was bloody excited to go to Kula Lumpur for free! We, LGB 2A, were invited to attend a ‘majlis kebudayaan’ somewhere in KL. Well, we did not intend to know further about the destination and purpose. All we knew was “we are going to have a free merry ride to KL”. Surely, a bus would be provided…..hurm….
The bus was coming!!! Hooray!!! We were waiting for it with a mountain of patience.
Suddenly, Kak Hanis, the big boss of this journey came with her gloomy red face.
“What’s up?”
“Where is the bus you promised?”
“Is the invitation still valid?”
“Are we really going to KL?”
“I have dressed amazingly and don’t tell me the trip is cancelled!”
These were the questions thrown to Kak Hanis.
“Sorry, it is cancelled”.
AAAArrghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an embarrassment! I did not want to walk back home. What would my housemates say? I would be the laughing stock for the rest of my life!!! The others thought the same.
This was not a statement we waited for! Well, life is all about ups and downs. Every cloud has a silver lining. This could not break our strength of having a fieldtrip. Who cares about the trip to KL anymore? We have other places to go by using our beloved Rapid KL lah!!!! Who cares???!!! We are independent!!! In life, there is always a plan B…..
We ended up by switching our mind to “a journey to Plaza Alam Sentral”.
Here we began!
Alia, Tun, C-Nah, Masitah, Farha, Ain Jannah, Malia, Lat, Azwan, Azrina and me.
We all eleven were waiting for a bus…… it was either UiTM Bus or Rapid KL.
Suddenly, Masitah changed her mind and chose to disjoin the group. She has a meeting to attend tonight, the same meeting as Alia has. We were al
l ten.
After a while, Latfi – our class captain – was surrender. He was too lazy to wait for anymore second. He assumed that the bus wouldn’t be coming. Then he left us after saying “take care”.
Then, Azwan forcefully followed him. Oh, dear! How could you all give up before going to battle?
I also planned to give up. But Tun and Ain wanted to go.
Malia said, “I will wait until 7.30 p.m. only”
However, in returns of our great patience, here the bus came! UiTM bus. It was already 7.20 p.m. after waiting for a half century. “Here we go!”
Lat and Azwan joined us again, as they saw the bus's arrival.
Azrina had done a stunt in the bus. The bus was terribly shaking and so she almost fell down while we were taking pictures. I presume that she might be too exci
ted to be in the picture.
We arrived at PKNS in thirty minutes later. It was already
dark.
The first place we headed to was surau. It was already maghrib time.
After that, we continued our journey to Plaza Alam Sentral, which is located behind PKNS.
“Here we are!”
The place was jovially greeting us as it knew that w
e chose it instead of
We dropped at Speedy to look for CDs. Actually; I was the person who promoted them to go there. I wanted to buy a CD. But it is sold in a set of 3 CDs, for RM10.00. It was stock clearance. I wanted one CD only. So, I persuaded Latfi and Hasinah to buy another two CDs, so that I could have one out of three; with a great price of RM3.33 per CD. Hahaha…..then we bought three CDs and each of us got one. What an amazing pleasure of having friends! People say; “un
ited we strong, divided we weak”.
Do you know what kind of CD we bought? This is my CD. Ask C-Nah and Lat!
Let’s go back to the story. Our stomachs were all singing rock and roll. The journey made us starving. Well, we found a restaurant. I forgot its name, but it is exactly located in front of Bee’s, a bakery. You can see the bakery as you walk into Plaza Alam Sentral using the main entrance, next to Dunkin Donuts. Am I making myself clear? Yes, isn’t it?
Well, we were like a jakun group of kids who were having an outing for the first time. (And surely, the kids are from a sort kindergarten in a secret jungle, in Amazon. Or, they might be from other world in another galaxy).
We sat at one of a pleasant corner. At the moment, Malia and Ain went to ATM machine, withdrawing some money (Unfortunately, both of them refused to treat us). Three tables were combined as we were ten all together. There were no other people in the
restaurant. However, it seemed like there were myriad Orang Utan kids in the restaurant. I did not know what we were talking about. What a noisy place, the restaurant became!
To my horror, the foods we ordered were deliciously expensive. I think, the pans we used were all imported from
They were all movable! We had to hold the ear of the pans, so we
could eat our food. They were making our meals terrible and hard to
eat. Overall, the foods were appealing. Except for C-nah’s wantan mee. Hahaha….it wasn’t tasty at all! Pity her.
At the same time, we took photographs again and again. Azwan’s face forcefully made us practicing yoga laughter, which was presented by Farha in class, last semester. He looked innocent on all the pictures.
The most unforgettable experience was always on my side. Yes, it was an embarrassing moment indeed. To begin with, I went to the cashier. I have RM90.00 in my hand. We used Alia’s and C-Nah’s money first. Well, the cashier took a long time to count the bill. Never mind, I waited. Then the bill popped out on the screen. It was RM119.53. The money was obviously not enough. Then I took RM20 from C-Nah, assuming that it would be enough. To my embarrassment, the cashier said I needed another RM10. I was not a good Mathematician at the moment. Poor me! Then I went back again to our table and took RM10 note from Lat. “Here I go!”….. It was settled!
Then, we rushed to PKNS bus stop. We were looking for T605. After waiting for decades, we crossed the road and took a bus from the other roadside. We went to Section 2 (bus station) and stayed in the same bus. While waiting for the bus to move and take us home, we took some pictures again! What a happy family!
The bus moved. We went back to Perdana Heights Hostel, keeping a lot of memories in our heart. We arrived exactly at 11.00 o’clock. We happily walked in with a plenty of stories to remember……..
P/s: 0ur pictures will be coming soon!

in memory...
one day, after my paksu came back home from market, there was a cute little cat following him.the cat had stripes with three colours, brown, black and white.she was very good.the moment she was here, she didn't mess up in my house.everytime she needed to do her 'thing' she would go outside and find a sandy place.plus, she was very small. then, i decided to call her "Lang". she didn't really recognize me but she is my aunt's best friend. as she is staying alone in the house, Lang existence made her feel safer. she wanted to eat every two hours. when i am around, she would ask for more. eventhough she loved to bite my hand, but it was just a 'manja' kind of bite..not hurt at all.everybody loves her. then,i left her for four weeks as i need to go back to campus. one night, i received a call from my aunt telling me that she was very sick.and i was crying for the whole night as i'm afraid i might not have the chance to see her for the last time.when i came back for the mid-term break,the first thing i did was looking for her.i could see she was sleeping on her favourite cushion, lying there a very thin and sick creature.her eyes look so pale..unfortunately,that day was my cousin's wedding.so we have to be there all the time and we had to leave her alone in the house.when we came back,she was missing.we had been searching for her but still couldn't find her.then,i saw her at her favourite spot when she was first time here.i brought her back and gave her drink.she was very thirsty.that night, my aunt said that she might not going to make until tomorrow.then my aunt told me that she had miscarriage before.blood came out for three days and for almost a week,she ate nothing.then, i let her sleep on my favourite 'kain batik' and i brought her to sleep with me..then,at 4 o'clock she screamed so loud.i was surprised.then,my aunt told me that she has already gone.she cried before she died.i was crying for the whole morning.i hold both of her hand and i feel i'm not ready to let her go.but she's already gone.this morning, i buried her.my two aunts helped me.we wrapped her in a white cloth and covered her with a small 'papan'.then, we put her in the 'liang' we made for her.i was crying throughout the 'thing'.i couldn't hold my tears back
this is the picture of her a day before she died..she was very thin..
and this is the picture right after she died..what can i say..i'm still crying when i publish this post,,Friday, January 23, 2009

They're Made out of Meat
"They're made out of meat." "Meat?" "Meat. They're made out of meat." "Meat?" "There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." "That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?" "They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines." "So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact." "They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines." "That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat." "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat." "Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage." "Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?" "Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside." "Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through." "No brain?" "Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you." "So ... what does the thinking?" "You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat." "Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!" "Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?" "Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat." "Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years." "Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?" "First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual."
< 2 >
"We're supposed to talk to meat." "That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing." "They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?" "Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat." "I thought you just told me they used radio." "They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat." "Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?" "Officially or unofficially?" "Both." "Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing." "I was hoping you would say that." "It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?" "I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?" "Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact." "So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe." "That's it." "Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?" "They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them." "A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream." "And we marked the entire sector unoccupied." "Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?" "Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone.

Death By Scrabble or Tile M For Murder
It's a hot day and I hate my wife. We're playing Scrabble. That's how bad it is. I'm 42 years old, it's a blistering hot Sunday afternoon and all I can think of to do with my life is to play Scrabble. I should be out, doing exercise, spending money, meeting people. I don't think I've spoken to anyone except my wife since Thursday morning. On Thursday morning I spoke to the milkman. My letters are crap. I play, appropriately, BEGIN. With the N on the little pink star. Twenty-two points. I watch my wife's smug expression as she rearranges her letters. Clack, clack, clack. I hate her. If she wasn't around, I'd be doing something interesting right now. I'd be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. I'd be starring in the latest Hollywood blockbuster. I'd be sailing the Vendee Globe on a 60-foot clipper called the New Horizons - I don't know, but I'd be doing something. She plays JINXED, with the J on a double-letter score. 30 points. She's beating me already. Maybe I should kill her. If only I had a D, then I could play MURDER. That would be a sign. That would be permission. I start chewing on my U. It's a bad habit, I know. All the letters are frayed. I play WARMER for 22 points, mainly so I can keep chewing on my U. As I'm picking new letters from the bag, I find myself thinking - the letters will tell me what to do. If they spell out KILL, or STAB, or her name, or anything, I'll do it right now. I'll finish her off. My rack spells MIHZPA. Plus the U in my mouth. Damn. The heat of the sun is pushing at me through the window. I can hear buzzing insects outside. I hope they're not bees. My cousin Harold swallowed a bee when he was nine, his throat swelled up and he died. I hope that if they are bees, they fly into my wife's throat. She plays SWEATIER, using all her letters. 24 points plus a 50 point bonus. If it wasn't too hot to move I would strangle her right now. I am getting sweatier. It needs to rain, to clear the air. As soon as that thought crosses my mind, I find a good word. HUMID on a double-word score, using the D of JINXED. The U makes a little splash of saliva when I put it down. Another 22 points. I hope she has lousy letters.

She tells me she has lousy letters. For some reason, I hate her more. She plays FAN, with the F on a double-letter, and gets up to fill the kettle and turn on the air conditioning. It's the hottest day for ten years and my wife is turning on the kettle. This is why I hate my wife. I play ZAPS, with the Z doubled, and she gets a static shock off the air conditioning unit. I find this remarkably satisfying. She sits back down with a heavy sigh and starts fiddling with her letters again. Clack clack. Clack clack. I feel a terrible rage build up inside me. Some inner poison slowly spreading through my limbs, and when it gets to my fingertips I am going to jump out of my chair, spilling the Scrabble tiles over the floor, and I am going to start hitting her again and again and again. The rage gets to my fingertips and passes. My heart is beating. I'm sweating. I think my face actually twitches. Then I sigh, deeply, and sit back into my chair. The kettle starts whistling. As the whistle builds it makes me feel hotter. She plays READY on a double-word for 18 points, then goes to pour herself a cup of tea. No I do not want one. I steal a blank tile from the letter bag when she's not looking, and throw back a V from my rack. She gives me a suspicious look. She sits back down with her cup of tea, making a cup-ring on the table, as I play an 8-letter word: CHEATING, using the A of READY. 64 points, including the 50-point bonus, which means I'm beating her now. She asks me if I cheated. I really, really hate her. She plays IGNORE on the triple-word for 21 points. The score is 153 to her, 155 to me. The steam rising from her cup of tea makes me feel hotter. I try to make murderous words with the letters on my rack, but the best I can do is SLEEP. My wife sleeps all the time. She slept through an argument our next-door neighbours had that resulted in a broken door, a smashed TV and a Teletubby Lala doll with all the stuffing coming out. And then she bitched at me for being moody the next day from lack of sleep.
< 3 >
If only there was some way for me to get rid of her. I spot a chance to use all my letters. EXPLODES, using the X of JINXED. 72 points. That'll show her. As I put the last letter down, there is a deafening bang and the air conditioning unit fails. My heart is racing, but not from the shock of the bang. I don't believe it - but it can't be a coincidence. The letters made it happen. I played the word EXPLODES, and it happened - the air conditioning unit exploded. And before, I played the word CHEATING when I cheated. And ZAP when my wife got the electric shock. The words are coming true. The letters are choosing their future. The whole game is - JINXED. My wife plays SIGN, with the N on a triple-letter, for 10 points. I have to test this. I have to play something and see if it happens. Something unlikely, to prove that the letters are making it happen. My rack is ABQYFWE. That doesn't leave me with a lot of options. I start frantically chewing on the B. I play FLY, using the L of EXPLODES. I sit back in my chair and close my eyes, waiting for the sensation of rising up from my chair. Waiting to fly. Stupid. I open my eyes, and there's a fly. An insect, buzzing around above the Scrabble board, surfing the thermals from the tepid cup of tea. That proves nothing. The fly could have been there anyway. I need to play something unambiguous. Something that cannot be misinterpreted. Something absolute and final. Something terminal. Something murderous. My wife plays CAUTION, using a blank tile for the N. 18 points. My rack is AQWEUK, plus the B in my mouth. I am awed by the power of the letters, and frustrated that I cannot wield it. Maybe I should cheat again, and pick out the letters I need to spell SLASH or SLAY. Then it hits me. The perfect word. A powerful, dangerous, terrible word. I play QUAKE for 19 points. I wonder if the strength of the quake will be proportionate to how many points it scored. I can feel the trembling energy of potential in my veins. I am commanding fate. I am manipulating destiny. My wife plays DEATH for 34 points, just as the room starts to shake. I gasp with surprise and vindication - and the B that I was chewing on gets lodged in my throat. I try to cough. My face goes red, then blue. My throat swells. I draw blood clawing at my neck. The earthquake builds to a climax. I fall to the floor. My wife just sits there, watching.
And the Moonman goes too....

The owners for the 2008 MTV VMA moonman had been announced on the last September 6th..Sadly, Ms Spears is the big winners for the events. But despite that, the best thing is Tokio Hotel (TH) had made Germany proud by taking home the silver moonman for the best new artist categories beating Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brother down the drain (poor Disney kids). But one just can't blame the Tokio boys for being really talented can't they. Anyway, for the international music maniacs like me out there, watch out for the upcoming 2008 MTV EMA on the early month of November. There's no conformation yet that TH will make it to the final list (I'm willing to put a 10 grant bet that they will be nominated and may even won). So people, please go the EMA official website to vote. I already did. Paramore is even in the list. Anyway, coming back to the recently VMA, Paramore had put on an outstanding performance. Hayley is so 'Rock it' jumping around the stage with her yellow pants and black tops (her red flaring hair seems quite frizzy at that time). Meanwhile TH had made it to the red carpet with this big TH monster truck (there's no need to be too exaggerated boy. Luckily, you guys won so that should cover your overacting stunts). Ich Liebe Ditch TH !!!

AYAM HONEY from KFC….
As I got this story from Toon, I laughed as loud as I could. I think I have done ‘laughter yoga’ inadvertently. Hahaha…here I laughed with full of emotions. Stop wondering! Let me tell you the story. It began when my housemate, Naruto went out to Giant with two other girls. Well, our sweet and delicious spoken neighbour, Girl, had sent an item of SMS to Naruto as she noticed that Naruto was at Giant at the moment. She wanted a set meal of KFC for lunch. This was Girl’s message:
“Belikan aku 1 set ayam honey ye”.
As Naruto got the message, she went to the counter and asked the KFC cashier, ordering the meal.
“Abang, may I have a set of ayam honey, please.”
“I am sorry? What is ayam honey? We don’t have such name of meal here,” replied the guy with a mountain of amusement. Actually, there was a smile on his face.
Naruto, then, called Girl steathily.
“There’s no ayam honey here. How about ordering other meals?” Naruto spoke gently in hurry. She is a very ‘straight-forward’ girl. And totally kind too.
“Oh, yang! What I meant in the SMS was ‘a set of ayam’. ‘Honey’ was referring to you! It is my style of texting an SMS. I usually address anyone with ‘honey’,” shouted Girl, together with a big laughed. There was also a few of backup singers (people who were laughing) on the phone.
“Ha?! I have misunderstood! What a shame!” She seemed like crying, blushing already.
This is a funny story happened to my housemate. She is a pure Sarawakian, so she is not so familiar with fast-food restaurant since there are not too many such things there. To be honest, via my point of view, she is a funny-looking girl and amazingly happy-go lucky person. She never makes a spectacle of herself, but normally she does accidentally. It is a consensus sagacity that Naruto is the most qualified joker of the year! -ninie-
