Today is my 5th day after coming back from Malaysia...*sigh* that's all I can say.
Still feeling tired and exhausted. Work is consuming my energy since I switched to this new company.
I'm missing home like crazy. The thoughts of going home for good constantly flashing in my mind. But...there are too many 'buts' to think about.
It's my sweetheart's birthday tomorrow and guess what, I havent got him a birthday card yet...let alone a present.
I'm just so miserable right now. There is something bugging me inside but I'm not sure what it is.
Don't have much else to say. Hope this unhappy feeling will past soon.
p/s: Will post about my cuti-cuti Malaysia adventure soon..how soon? dunno

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.

"6 Things I Wish I Can Do Before I Reach 30"
Azida has posted hers, so now I'm posting mine. I put deep thoughts when creating this list you know.. Thinking about it, it's only 3 years away before I reach 30... *sigh* i'm getting older..arghh..
So, trying to be as realistic and authentic as possible, here is my '6 Things I Wish I Can Do Before I Reach 30':
1) I want to become richer..(who doesnt?)
At near age 27, I think I've improved my skills on money management or at least I've become totally financially independent. So far the only debts I collected are student loan and car loan. So hopefully by 30, I've paid off my car loan, half way to finish off my student loan, have sufficient funds to buy a house I can call my own, increase my financial contribution to my family, earn more salary, give more to charity, step my foot into the investment world and above all, I wish to be a self-made money saving expert
I think i'm ready for the 'partnership' life. I have found the person who has all these criterias -> a brainer, an honest lover, a sincere bestfriend, a trusted banker, an excellent housekeeper and have patience like a saint!
Have I found Mr Right? Honestly, I dont know the answer. But one thing for sure - I'm happy!
Do I think it's gonna work? I hope so. I know it's gonna be a bumpy journey ahead but we are going make it work.
3) I want to treat my family for a holiday
I wish to have enough money to treat my family for a visit to the UK or for a holiday of a lifetime. I want to score super big brownie points with my mum and in return, I hope she loves me even more.
4) For once in my life, I really want to be fit and look sexy. I'm tired of being fat!
I am the kind of person who dont eat anything for the whole month but still looks like a bloated pregnant cow. I guess I'm a naturally fat person and I blame my 2 copies of fat genes . After taking a hard look on myself and after watching too many Oprah, I now no longer yearn to be thin. I just want to be fit and look sexy.
So now, I've taken baby steps towards living healthier. Once I look sexy, I have this ambitious dream which I wish could come true--> I wish to spend one day..just one day in summer, sunbathing on a beautiful beach wearing a sexy bikini and not have to worry about hiding bulges and cellulites. I know it sounds silly..It's only a dream afterall...
I want to take a long break(possibly a couple months) at home aka balik kampung. I want to relax and chill out with my family and I want to catch up with my fellow good friends. I've missed out soooo many things when I'm away and I hope to rekindle the relationship again, with my family and with my friends.
6) I want to visit these places:
- Italy -> Ainul, remember our conversation about Rome..?
- America-> A visit to New York and if possible, I want to attend the Oprah show! Azida, I wouldnt mind a visit to Trump Tower as well...so girls, lets plan a trip to US together..next year ok tak? or 2008? Jom make it happen..
- Fat Duck -> Voted as The Best Restaurant in the world. It's quite near where I live but dont have the chance to go yet..will have to check it out at some point
Till then, stay phabulous ;-)
