Counting Down The Days

No monday blues feeling today...I woke up bright and cheerful. I'm all excited because in less than 4 days I'll be flying back to my home sweet home. Wuuhhhooooo Yeeeehhhooooo!

I cant wait to see my family. Cant wait to see my baby, Nuk. Cant wait to meet up with my darling friends. Cant wait to enjoy good Malaysian fusion food. Cant wait to breathe the warm humid polluted air ;-). Cant wait to drive my Kancil. Basically, I just cant wait to be home again.

By the way, did I mention that I'm coming home with that special someone *wink*. So, I have to make my visit this time extra special. So, my to-do/to-visit list is going to be a long one this time.These are some of it:

• Drink air kelapa
• Feast on durian and other local fruits
  
• Banana leaf rice treat
  
• Teh tarik, nasi kandar and roti telur at mamak
• Nasi lemak for breakfast
• Cendol in Taiping
• Secret Recipe treat - cheesecake and soba
• Yong Tau Foo
• Steamboat
  
• Treat at a seafood restaurant - havent decide where yet.
  
• Visit to pasar malam
  
• Visit KLCC and Petronas Tower bridge - Dilla, since u r working there, u know any easy way to get ticket for the bridge?
  
• Meal in KL Tower revolving restaurant
• Climb steps in that Batu Cave temple..what is it called?
  
• Visit to Dataran Merdeka and places around it (e.g: Sultan Abdul Samad building, Jalan TAR, CM,etc.)
• Mandatory visit to shopping complex - The Curve maybe
  
• Visit to Low Yat plaza to hunt for bargains
• Visit to Royal Town Kuala Kangsar
• Visit to Taiping - reminisce my childhood memories
• Visit to Gua Tempurung
  
• Visit to Pangkor - enjoy beach, try jet skiing and snorkelling
• Ride on LRT
• Visit to Bangsar - meet up with friends and 'karaoke'ing, if time permits
  

That's all I can think of for now. Basically, the activities I planned are all around KL and Perak. Sounds boring, huh? I know. I'm so unadventureous. So, could you all please help me with ideas and suggestions. I'm seriously desperate for ideas! The thing is, I'm only coming home for 10 days...plus, my friends are all busy working and I dont know places that much. So, I'm pretty much stuck. So, keep the ideas/suggestions coming ok..

Anyway, that doesnt stop me from feeling excited jumping up and down ;-)

P/S: To my friends (you know who you are)...our gathering plan on Wednesday, 30th May in Bangsar is definitely on. Meet up at Delicious right? Have we make booking for karaoke?

Mad about Blake Lewis

I'm usually not that hype about American Idol. I think it's just another overly commercialised and exploited talent show. However this year, I saw a talent that I really really really truly love. Yo dawg, Blake Lewis is in da house and he is soooo HOT! Thank god he is in the final and I want him to win the crown this year. Seriously.. I mean seriously.. (say it ala Meredith Grey's style) Blake is oh-soooo-good and sexy!

I really like his quirkiness and boldness - it makes him stand out from the rest. He make any song he sang like his own and even added his own arrangement. How cool is that. Even though some of the arrangements didnt really work but hey, I have to give credit to him for trying. It's better to take risk than to play safe, like most other contestants.

In my opinion, Blake Lewis voice and singing style is like combination of Maroon 5 and 311 mixed with beat boxing. Added with his boyish cute looks and charm, I personally think that he will be a hit and his albums will sell like hot cakes.

I LOVE YOU BLAKE!

p/s: If I could pick a song for Blake to sing on the final show, I would choose Maroon 5 - The Way I Was ... It's my current fave song. Oh darling Blake, you'll make my heart melt if you sing this tune.

Sigmund Freud's Priorities

My colleague sent me this and thought I share it with you lot. Try it, the outcome is interesting.

Sigmund Freud's Priorities

Five things are happening in your house at the same time. In which sequence would you solve them?
1. The telephone is ringing!
2. The baby is crying!
3. Someone's knocking or calling you from the front door!
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain!
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing!

In which sequence would you solve these problems? Write your sequence from 1 to 5 and then compare your answers HERE.

BE HONEST. THE FINDINGS ARE INTERESTING.

And also..be a sport, share your answers okay ;-)

Hold on

Do you ever feel like you are completely out of your depth in your life that you just can't handle it anymore.

Do you ever feel so frustrated with yourself because you are incapable of accomplishing something even though inside your mind you know you could do it.

Do you ever feel you worked so hard and always play fair, but you never get recognised.

Do you ever feel no matter how hard you practice, you are still far from being good at it.

Do you ever feel when you only made a small silly mistake but people just love to pick on it and remember it for life.

Do you ever feel the more you learn and achieve, the smaller you feel about yourself.

Do you ever feel challenges just keep coming to you that even when you receive something good, you see it as a sign of something bad waiting to happen.

Do you ever feel no matter how hard you try, things just never seem to go your way and luck never seem to be on your side.

Do you ever feel you thought you are good at something, but later realised that you are actually just so crap at it.

Do you ever feel you always try to find motivation and inspiration but they just never arrive.

Do you ever feel the pressure to impress, that you have to lie.

Do you ever feel when life is treating you unfair, it makes you think if there is at all any hope for fairness.

Do you ever feel life is so hard on you, it makes you wonder why you even bother trying.

Do you ever feel when there is nothing else you can do but to hope and pray.

Hope is the built-in weapon we have to fight against 'shit'iness in life. Hope is what make us hold on to life, make us believe there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hope is what made me wrote this.

I guess I have to make use of 'hope' and hold on to it. Just hold on. Hold on really tight.
