Smile because it happened.” -Dr. Seuss-“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” -Reinhold Niebuhr-“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.” -Unknown-"A sad thing in life is that

I was just mentioning on my other blog how I didn't wanna go back to KL. Well, not just yet lah.. I'm having too much fun being the unpaid maid here around the house. Haha.. But seriously, I really don't mind doing all the cooking and cleaning coz it's home. There's no place like it. I don't think I can imagine what it would be like if I were one of those victims that lost their homes from a

Avocado Hunt

Last week I finally made my way to the beach with Mom and Seri. The only reason why I practically dragged my sick Mom to the beach was because I was cravingggg for avocado juice. Well, also because I thought she needed some good fresh air. I've been asking for avocado juice around KK but they're all out! Everywhere I went, I never failed to ask for avocado juice but to no such luck! I'd have

Resolutions already??

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:35:30 PST

I already know what my new years resolution is for next year!! Hehe.. Ever since I've been planning my New Years Eve party, I've been thinking a lot about what I wanna achieve next year. Most of em are pretty heavy goals but with the right determination and support from my loved ones, I think I'll be able to achieve what I want. Just to throw it out there for you curious munchkins, here are just

Stresssss!

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:36:50 PST

Lately everything seems to get on my nerves. Whether it be nonsensical tweets, smartass remarks, dumb questions... all of it just seem to annoy me so fast. I get particularly annoyed when things don't go my way. I just feel like screaming and chopping someone's head off! Ok, maybe not THAT sadistic, but I can get soooo frustrated. The only people that don't get on my nerves (that much) are my own

While In KK

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:23:57 PST

First of all I'd like to say thanks to everyone who's been concerned about the Mom and thanks for all your well wishes and prayers. I appreciate it sooo muchhh!!! Just so you guys know, Mom's doing well. She just had a doctor's appointment just now just to get a second opinion. We ended up staying at the hospital for more than 3 hours. ZzzzZzz~~~ I brought the PSP along but since it was just my

Hey people!It's gonna be a short post for now. Just so you guys know, I'm back in KK!! Just got back today.. Mom's not feeling too well. I'm just glad I'm back to be with her. I haven't been blogging lately coz the internet at home was unavailable. Blame P1 for their so called 'upgrade'!

These rainy days have made me miss reading a good book. I used to read so much, that I'd spend hundreds on nothing but novels. Believe it or not, there was a time when I had enough clothes for me to not even care about getting new clothes. And that's when I'd spend most of my money on books by James Patterson. He was my favorite author. Still is! It's just that nowadays I feel like I don't even

I've never been into Music Monday but since I've been listening to this song a lot, I figured I might share it with you guys. And it helps that it happens to be Monday today! :DI love this song. I find the lyrics to be so random. Anyone care to share what the lyrics actually mean?? It's beautifully random.. Hehehe.. But I love the song anyway.. :D Hope u guys enjoy it as well..Lyrics | Owl City

November dahhh???

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:53:09 PST

So, November is finally here and November rain has never showed its presence more like today. As much as I don't like the year to end, the time has come to move forward, get ready for the year to come, compare life insurance, and make new resolutions. But before we move forward, let's recap the month that was. Here are some of my favorite highlights of October '09..On the 8th, we celebrated my

Happy Birthday Allieee!!!

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:49:58 PDT

Allie is 2 years old todayyy!! How time flies by so fasttt.. Allie, you're lucky to have a really wacky aunt! Haha.. And I'm sure Allie knows that. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't delve into the world of makeup, nail polish and pretty clothes so soon! But it's ok if you wanna learn how to be a diva so early in your years. As long as you don't grow up to be naughty, don't start smoking in which

Get comfortable

A friend once said to me, "You know you're Malaysian when you shop for a DVD player, you make sure it can play pirated DVDs." Hahaha! That's so true.Last time I used to burn all my downloaded files into a cd and then watch it all on TV. That way I didn't hafta hurt my back watching marathon tv series from my laptop. I'm sure most people still do that nowadays. It's definitely more comfortable

I CAN'T WAIT! I CAN'T WAIT! I CAN'T WAITTTT!!!Do you know how long I've been wanting to go to a REAL themepark?! Not crappy Genting rides, not carnivals with rides built out of old junked truck accessories, not one-stop fun fairs, but actual larger than life-adrenaline pumping-gut puking rides!! I can already imagine myself being absorbed in The Lost World, Hollywood Boulevard, Egypt, and so many

Today I wanna show off my new phone! It's not exactly new anymore coz it's almost a month old. But I still wanna show it off anyway coz it's a very special gift from Rafiq. I never asked for it and neither did I ever hint about wanting a new phone. But one fine day, he just asked me what phone I wanted. Knowing him, he's always straight to the point and he always means what he says. So when he

Is it just my blog that's giving out really ugly pixelated pictures when I upload pictures to blogger? Or is it happening to other blogs as well? I wouldn't know coz I hardly bloghop these days. But yeah, what's goin on here? Is there something I'm doing or not doing?? How can I upload my pics without it being pixelated. I tried resizing but it doesn't seem to help.. How? Howw? HOWW??Answer la

So therefore I wanna share a cute pic

Finally, updates!

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 13:17:26 PDT

Hey everyone!So sorry for the lack of updates lately. There's been so much going on and so much to tell that I don't even have the time to blog about it. And even when I do, recalling those moments and putting them back into words seem soooo tedious. I'm sure most of you other bloggers get what I mean when I say that.Before the moment can pass me by again, I finally updated my blog with updates

Weekend at Singapore

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:10:14 PDT

As I mentioned in my previous post, it was just last weekend that Rafiq and I made our way to Singapore. And mannn, was I jakunnn!!! Seriously, it was like showing a caveman what the Internet is! Ok, maybe not as bad, but still bad. It's not that I've never been to Singapore. It's just that it's been ages since I last stepped foot on their soil and it just felt good to get my passport chopped.

F1 Rocks Singapore!!

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:40:38 PDT

Last weekend had to be the best weekend of the year so far!! I had an absolutely awesome time at Singapore. Rafiq and I made our way to Singapore for no other reason but of course to catch Beyonce live at the F1 Rocks concert. Well, that was actually my reason. Rafiq's not really a big fan of hers so he was just there to accompany me and show me around Singapore, something that's he's been

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:19:27 PDT

I received this email from Rafiq today and I thought it was really sweet. So I'd like to share it.When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 12:50:49 PDT

They were the shiz back when I was in form 3. And after ages of not hearing any of their old songs, I was pretty sure I wasn't able to remember a damn line. But wud'dya know. Somehow this song got into Rafiq's mom's Samsung Omnia and after just a line into their song, I could actually remember bits and pieces of the lyrics here and there. After more than 10 years of blocking their songs from my

I know I'm a day late in wishing everyone a happy Merdeka but what they heyy.. Happy Merdeka! Hope this video gives you a better purpose to celebrate our independence. Coz it sure gave me the patriotic boost that I needed.. :) Let's not even get me started on whyyyy I didn't feel like celebrating at all. Instead, let's just enjoy this clip.. :)
