The false sages tell us not to marry for love because love doesn't last. It's as if doctors advised against sleep because we wake up afterward. A man who has slept awakens in a better moon. A couple that has known the passion of love has more resources than one born of the marriage of reason. Love creates tenderness, which survives passion.

People have the wrong idea about money. They spend their lives chasing a myth-that man with lots of it is happy by virtue of his wealth and that people without money are unhappy. In doing so, they create a vision of something they want - realizing later that, in fact, they don't want it.
The only way to enjoy life is to keep one's needs simple.

noreply@blogger.com (Rhoda) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:08:00 +0000

Went here around 3pm today! Cost a bomb for these 4 items = RM43.80. Are you ready? Here we go!

1. D3 5-Spiced Beef Slices (RM13.90++)

The beef was tasteless and the soup was too salty. Such a disappointment. I can't read Chinese but there was a signs on different type of food. This was one of it. All four item ordered have the same chop thingy. Such a disappointment.

2. D12 Taiwan-Style Salty Crispy Chicken (RM10.90++)

Dry, harsh and almost scratched the top of my mouth (Malay: Lelangit). I had to put add a lot of chilli to make it edible. :( The garnish tasted better.

3. Taiwan Mixed Fruit Conpote Snow (RM6.90++)

What we got!

What's on the menu! (with the freaking sign)

4. D12 Bamboo Shoot Pumpkin Bun (RM8.90++)

This I love! It's so cute and taste great! Who ever did this must love doing this dish. Other items was a pain in the ass to eat!

Tables were left long before someone comes to clean them. There were only 3 other table occupied other than ours.Probably not going back! Peace.

If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes. I would relax, I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would go barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the autumn. I would have more dogs, I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.
I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.

After work yesterday, I rushed home as I have done everyday since I started working at my new place. It's further then my last work place and takes an hour to get back home. Today, I was happy the traffic was clear. I breeze through the town until I passed a bus stop where I saw a blind man waiting for a bus. I don't get to see that everyday. I say hell.. I'll just turn around and and pick him up and send him home. I took a turn and went back to that bus stop and the dude is still there.. I got off the car and asked him where he wants to go. He said I'm waiting for a bus. I asked him again, he said Stutong Baru. I said would you like to follow me? He said ok!! And you know what I did?

I said "OK" and expected him to follow me!! OMG am I blind? I noticed then, turned around and then guide him to my car. I told him I don't know where is Stutong Indah but he say he will guide me!! OMG! and he did.

He said turn into ** Road, he knows I stop at 3 traffic lights and then asked me to turn right.. and even have the courtesy to ask me to turn around at the lorong so that it is easier for me to drive out later!! What a dude! and then when he tried to open the door. I realized I was blind again. I opened it for him.

Highlight of my day here is, I made a blind man laugh!! I mean how cool is that!! We we chatting and the news came on. I can see he is listening intently to the news. I was saying you know, you can't listen to everything on news, probably more accurate in the kopitiam!! And he let out this laugh, the not holding back kind.. I laugh at him laughing at my statement. He said ya.. and probably a bit exaggerated as well.

When I drop him off, I saw him walking slowly up the curb and into the gate!! Perks of being blind, you know your way around even with your eyes close. Then I saw his other housemate also blind, came out for a cig. Yes blind man smokes too.. and even respect his other blind housemate by smoking outside. I left and got home and think I have two good eyes!!! All the problems I have seem so trivial to having no eyes.. I have the chance to be better, my health, my life. I can do it! I can do so many things! I can!

I didn't know about Muse until I saw their 'Knights of Cydonia' (Abbey Road) on Youtube. I actually click on some random video on the sidebar while viewing some of 'The Killers' (Abbey Road) video. I was sooo...into 'The Killers' after catching their amazing performance on 'Human' at the Europe MTV Music Awards 2008.

Catching Muse's 'Knights of Cydonia' live on Abbey Road video is like orgasm in my ears and I forgot about 'The Killers' all together.

Listening to Muse's 'Knights of Cydonia' live on Abbey Road video is like orgasm in my ears and I forgot about 'The Killers' all together. In this video, I was like crazy guitar riffs goin on in there..and cute lead singer who play's the lead so well.

Next thing I know, I watch all of their video's on YouTUbe and I forgot about them Killers. (sorry Killers fans). And you know what, I think Matt Bellamy, Dom and Chris are friggin geniuses.

Here Bellamy with his fan Stephanie Meyers

Matt Bellamy is really cute...I want to marry him. I'm still not over that he is dating Kate Hudson....urrgh.. what does she has that I don't beside a famouse mom, rich and fabulous and famous and pretty.

R.I.P Mr Reynolds Gregory

Of all the Elvises that were performing that day (somewhere in 2007)..I only took with this gentlemen. I thought that he really an Asian Elvis lookalike and he sang really well. Turns out that he is the same guy that collapse and died earlier this year in January.

Although I only saw him performed once, I can see that he really put his heart and soul in his performance.

My family is looking forward to another Elvis gig end of this month at The Steppes (where is tat?) at Simpang Tiga on 30th August. We already missed out two gigs this month at 'The Sapphire'. Can't wait to catch it.

Haven't watch but have high hopes that its going to be a "watch and would watch again" category

I can't say I agree with this list..it didn't have the name of the movie that I forgot..but anyway.. I plan to watch as much great movies chick flicks teen flicks horror and all before I die..I already compiled what movie that I want to watch. Link here

But anyway I'm going copy paste another list that satisfy me more..

For a typical Malaysian girl, I consider myself quite a movie buff even tho I haven't watch most of the films the above list, giving that most American films never make it to the Malaysian market due to the "censorship boards".

®®® Kuching Food Festival 2010 *tips

noreply@blogger.com (Rhoda) — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:00:00 +0000

Check out KennySia.com for recent hilarious posting about Kuching Food Festival. However there are some useful information that might seem rather useful that I would like to share to those who plan to go.

No.1: Plan on where to park your car.

Plan which direction to come from..to avoid traffic jam. Park across the road, don't need to park at the MBKS cark park.. its FULL most of the time anyway..

No.2: Plan on how much you want to spend.

This weaving basket rice thingy cost about RM2.

Its good to buy little things to accommodate the many food in different stall. You don't want to be full just eating a big slice of steak and miss out on other goodies. And its good to bring just enof cos you might overspend wanting to eat everything. You know you want to.. its once a year..

No.3: Bring your umbrella..ella ella eh eh eh..
Just bring lah ..just in case. You don't want to taste rain in your food do you?

No.4: Pee before you come.

Image used without permission.

You don't want other's to use umbrella against you do you? Anyway the queue is bad there..

No.5: Wear comfortable cloths.

Nah....don't need to bathe. Just go after you jog all sweaty and everything. Everyone else is anyway. Its going to be hot and crowded. You just want to be comfortable.

No.6: Don't come alone. You need someone to chop the table.

Chop table because you need a place to sit and eat. Everybody is looking for a place to sit and when you got a table to sit..someone else staring at you wondering if you are ever going to finish.
If you are getting food on the go..its cool walking around eating them on sticks. Save the hassle.

No. 7: Please Don't Litter.

Don't leave your rubbish behind on the table for someone to throw your food. Its disgusting and moronic. Don't throw your degradable tissues or satay stick on the ground..chances are..you might some toddler reusing your stuff.. eewwww...just a thought.

Have a great time at Kuching Food Festival.

Happy Birthday Kuching!! I love you!

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

(music break)

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable

I hope you had the time of your life.

Just got back from watching 'Eclipse', it was a better than 'New Moon'. I know it has been out in the theater quite long already but I didn't get around watching it because I couldn't find someone to watch it with. (I didn't really try hard). I've asked my ex-schoolmate last week but she didn't romantic mushy movies so we watch 'Inception' which is a superb movie but anyway I finally watched 'Eclipse'.

For those who had watched the last two twilight movie, have you notice how much more intense their eye colors get? Maybe it's just me.

I love the movie, I'm into lovy mushy dovie movies! I'm admitting it is!! Well it's a girl movie, couple movie!! The feeling after watching this movie is similar to one I have after reading the book with is made after is that, I felt how blessed I am in this life.

Other than that, I want some wolf to imprint on me, to take care of me, to wag his tail whenever he sees me but right now I'll settle with this!..

Nov 23rd 2007 was the day I wrote this post and was in the draft until today. I still can't find reason to why it's being left there so long and I feel it's time to post it so here it is.

Hi Friends, Thank You for all your support, gifts, visitation, love and care, encouraging words and most of all your prayers..I'm on my way to recovery..praise God.

Cell group outing, bowling at Skudai Parade, Johore.

On 2 Nov 2007, I went bowling with my cell group(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_group) in a recreation

I was bowling with friends when after two throws (I was the first one to kick-off the game), I had minor headache, didn't think much of it and that it will go away 'cos it was after it didn't hurt that much.

I went off to the other area to look for lighter balls (bowling balls laa...), suddenly I couldn't stand so I just sat down on the floor. A moment later, I wave to catch attention then one of my friend saw, they came over to see why I was on the floor sitting. I told them something which I don't remember now and then I remembered about someone suggesting to sit on the benches, it is then I found I couldn't move my right leg. I was like WAT???? then it hit me ...this is not happening..I started crying. My friends then proceed to CARRY me to the bench..... Then they called the ambulance for me, then they move me again into the inside office room as I was attracting crowds. The owner of the bowling alley cum medicine doctor was a Korean and we had some communication breakdown somewhere but he understood I couldn't stand. He asked permission to poke my legs and hand by gesturing (Chinese thing or releasing bad blood) and I said ok..how bad could this get, I was thinking... He then poked and pressed out dirty blood, dark pekat blood. We waited quite long for the ambulance, I was quite annoyed by their 'supper' excuse. Common, you're our own in-house ambulance driver, I was just 10mins away from the university, how far should you be when you're on call..common lah...

On my way to the hospital, I wanted to pee so bad OMGosh. I reached the GH emergency area and can you believe it!!! I had to wait to be examined by the doctor in the EMERGENCY wad. How EMERGENCY can you get!!??? There I was, bleeding in the head on the wheelchair waiting for my turn and I had to go the loo. Cheok Miin and I was hysterical looking for the loo and the stupid toilet was not wheelchair friendly, the ppl working there wasn't helping as well.. I was stressed out trying to get to sit on the unfriendly toilet which my sleeping right leg then I just had too go. I peed on my pants, seriously!!

Afterwards the feeling of blurness came over me as I find it hard to respond to Cheok Miin's frantic call. Then my right hand went sleeping, I think the stress of trying to lift myself up from the wheelchair affected my hand.. I was living in a nightmare.

I was wheeled back to the WAITING room, as I continue my waiting virgil while having a massive headache. It was so long I wanted to pee again and this time I just do it on the wheelchair. Nobody took notice even when there is water stuff going on under my chair. and after a very long time.....I was wheeled into a room where the I was attended by doctor. I was warded in and had a CT scan while having headache, and vomitting. I found out later that other church friends and university friend were outside the emergency ward while I was waiting for my freaking turn. I remembered being transfered from one bed to another. I remembered seeing Dev, Dan and Shawn transferring me to another bed. Vague memory of people who came and prayed for me and also phone call from Pastor Chee Kiang.

I was in a slumber limbo while Cheok Miin took care of me. The next morning, doctor came and told me....there had been a burst in my brain. The clot causes me to paralyze. I had asked not inform my parents until I was sure what was wrong with me and now that I am. Cheok Miin made the call to inform them. My parents took the next flight and came that evening.

Thanks Amelia for taking over Cheok Miin to take care of me.

That evening when my dad entered the ward, he waved from far as my mom followed quickly behind him with red eyes. My freaking headache immediately lessen and I felt the heaven opened. I was away from home and it has been long since I last see my parents and they mean everything to me. I felt so secure in the hands of my parents and that they are here..everything is going to be okay!!! Hadn't it not been for my parents, I would be feeling utterly distress.

Please take note that I couldn't get up from bed or even roll to my sides and my parents had attend to my every need. I couldn't normal things anymore and you really know that you taken for granted of the routine things you do like peeing, pooping, bathing, washing hair, brushing teeth. You still can do it, in a diaper. I did it all in the diaper.I had a friend(Stephen) buying diapers for me (sooo..embarassing) and my mom cleans after me....she bathe me and feed me. There was a time when I didn't want to eat anymore because I was never hungry from the IV drip. They had to force me to eat as all I wanted to do is sleep. I puked alot too..

While in Johore, we always wanted to go back to Kuching hospital as people were dying all over the wad. I'm not being superstitious but the rate is quite alarming to cause concern(panic) for my parents to leave Johore hospital. I couldn't leave until the doctor gave green light for plane tripping. My trip from the hospital to the airport is memorable. They ambulance literally stop at the foot of the plane...REaLLY ...so I didn't check myself in...I just waited at the boarding gate ,GATE 2 then it was GATE 1 ...so everyone moved to the other side..then lastly GATE 3. (typical Malaysia boarding plan). I was given a special wheelchair to accommodate the aisle size in the airplane and was carried to my seat. It was a no brainer that I will attract stares from other patrons. Please take note that I was still in the hospital's green attire.

The auntie behind likes to stare at me!!

My beautiful parents.

Archbishop John Ha was in the same flight.

Upon reaching Kuching... I was greeted by my most fav fav...aunt and uncle. It was a great feeling to be home.

When I was younger, my bro likes this band and use to play it alot so its natural for my mom and me to recognize this song when it played on the radio..and instantly connecting it with my brother.

My mom is always on the look out for oldies on the radio and loves the radio since her younger days.. so Ko, so sorry now it has fallen under oldies leh..

As I listen to the song, I realized why my brother likes this band (when he was 18ish).. the amazing guitar riffs and the raw singing even for 80's era is amazing (song was famous in 8os' we were 4 and 8 respectively)

So here it is...the ~~oldie~~ video

I notice really heavy and dark cloud when I got off work at around 615 pm. Few minutes later on my way home, I saw MANY lightnings. Upon reaching home, it started drizzling followed by thunder. (Work to home= 5=10 mins)

My dog is scared of thunder so she started to cry so I sat outside with my dog watching the rain. The rain has escalated to heavy down pour with lightning and thunder. The thunder was so bad that my house electricity supply trip out twice.

Then I got a shock of my life when I saw the wind pick up and the rain started to going 90° left to right. It was so intense and even my dog was looking bewildered. I started to move in to the house with my dog anticipating something to happen then it died down. All my family member who were in the house came outside to look at the rain. It was that dramatic.

After the rain had died down, my dad notices that the house behind ours had a half blown roof.

My brother went out to open the get as he was preparing to go to work then notice that the neighbor just beside ours roof got lifted as well.

Brendan's (neighbor) house

All of us when out to "kapo" to see the roof and took some picture (proof above). We look around other neighbor as well and all other roofs seem intake still.

My bro then left for work and we settle down for dinner. As the day grows darker, we realized that the whole block of terrace house had their electricity cut off.

The inside part of the roof that had blown to our place, check out the flower pot. I notice some of the roof stuff had traveled 3-4 houses away...seriously heavy wind.
