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!!!

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

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?

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

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

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

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.. :)

Dinner at Tenji

ratu_syura81@yahoo.com (Ratu Syura) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:52:41 PDT

Just got back from dinner at Tenji with Rafiq and his mom to celebrate his mom's 57th birthday. It's definitely been a weekend of food! I think I gained 3kgs this weekend alone. But it was all worth it. I think! The food at Tenji was definitely good. And the choices!! Oh em gee!! From sushi and oysters to lamb and duck, they had it all!! By an hour, I was already stuffed to the brim!Plus, the

July is about to end and so far, it's been an awesome ride. There were some bumps on the road but nothing too mayjah. Well.... if you can call a near H1N1 miss nothing too mayjah, then yeah! Nothing too mayjah! Hehe..July started off a bit bumpy when Rafiq suddenly came down with the flu. We didn't think anything much of it but of course we didnt wanna rule out the possible. So we took him to

I had the last few episodes of the final season just waiting to be watched but I just never got to it. I was kinda saving it for a rainy day when you feel like a plain boring Sunday could kill you. Days when the best thing you could

It was raining heavily as we tried to cross the street.Avoiding big puddles, we hurriedly tip toed our way across the street in a zig zag manner.I hate it when my shoes get wet and he knows that. Under an umbrella, we both held onto each other trying hard not to get wet.We failed of course, which only made us giggle like little schoolgirls.Unknowingly, we were the subject of entertainment for the
