Good reason

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:27:43 GMT

I was watching "Friends" a coupla days ago and there was this scene that actually touched me. Recently dont really know what has gone wrong with me. I am very easily touch by scenes in the movies or series. Probably that in reality this might no happen. Hence thats y i m feelin that. Anyway the scene goes like this.

Ross is seeing Julie and at the same time still has feelings for Rachel. One night somehow Ross and Rachel kissed. They were both estathic about it but Ross felt bad.

Chandler had an idea of putting Julie and Rachel in a list. They started off like this.

Rachel's Con

Spoilt, Demanding, Chubby Ankles.

Julie's Pro

Smart, sensitive, patenlogist( i dunno how to spell it)

After the long debate with Chandler and Joey,..... they asked Ross what is Julie's con....after a long pregnant pause...

He said...

"She is not Rachel"

I feel no matter what a person flaws is, if u love her or him means u love her or him......the onli reason u dun love others anymore is because the other person is not the one u love......

9 powerful words women use.

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:54:47 GMT

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. Anything said after that is the start of a new argument.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

TITUS ANDRONICUS by William Shakespeare

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:22:18 GMT


TAMORA: Have I not reason to look pale?
These two have ticed [1] me hither to this place,
A barren detested vale you see it is;
The trees, though summer, yet forlorn and lean,
Overcome with moss and baleful mistletoe.
Here never shines the sun; her nothing breeds,
Unless the nightly owl or fatal raven:
And when they showed me this abhorr�d pit,
They told me, here, at dead time of the night,
A thousand fiends, a thousand hissing snakes,
Ten thousand swelling toads, as many urchins [2],
Would make such fearful and confus�d cries
As any mortal body hearing it
Should straight fall mad, or else die suddenly.
No sooner had they told this hellish tale
But straight they told me they would bind me here
Unto the body of a dismal yew
And leave me to this miserable death.
And then they called me foul adulteress,
Lascivious Goth, and all the bitterest terms
That ever ear did hear to such effect;
And had you not by wondrous fortune come,
This vengeance on me had they executed.
Revenge it, as you love your mother's life,
Or be ye not henceforth called my children.

Something to digest on

Ever since i saw kungfu panda's trailer in the cinema i have always wanted to catch the movie. Unfortunately, i cant make time for that movie hence i can onli catch in on DVD. Last saturday, mum bought kungfu panda. This is a great movie indeed. There was one quote that really caught my attention. It was the Old Master Turtle that says it. I am not really sure how it gues but i am definite the meaning is the same....

Forget the past, do not worry about the future, today is a gift because its PRESENT.....

Many of us still live in the pass and always worry about the future and in the end neglect what is present....Will digest this quote well....

Friday

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:45:49 GMT

Ok! its friday. 4 unproductive days have passed and today is friday. Damn. I spent the whole week doing unproductive stuff. Work in office is kinda slow and i am not producing results. Darn it! Nevertheless, tomoro is weekend. I have everything well planned out and i hope it will proceed as planned.

Glen has been waiting for two whole freaking week for this evening.. ha ha.. We had our first happy hour two weeks ago and he totally enjoyed it. It started at 530 and ended 930. It ended for them but not for me as i proceed round 2 with my other groups of friends. I was a long alcohol night.

CF buzzed me over msn a couple of days ago asking me to accompany him to mid v for shopping this weekend. Well....its been a while since i shopped with him. hehehe... well....to be exact, i help him shop. He calls me his personal fashion consultant. Apparently this weekend shopping is to get himself something for his registration day. Kudos Cf....getting married soon....all the best.

WCL is organising a get together makan this weekend. feeling lazy to go as it is too far away. Its in Subang Jaya. Ok.. its not really that far but then again imagine the mounts of tolls i have to pay. Not only tat u see petrol now is 270 ....to go to subang, to and fro will cost me RM 30 ..hehehe well....shall consider to go or not

Was having tea with advin and mayble last tuesday and somehow somewhere we planned to visit MOS(Ministry of Sound) this weekend. Goin to ask everyone to go but doubt all will. Anyway.... i will just go and have fun tats all. I don't really likwe clubbing nowadays but new place like this should be conquered. Well at least once! And if people come to me and ask " Did you go MOS before?" I can proudly answer them YES!!!

Wall E is up. I wonder if i can allocate sometime to go for this movie.Anyone wanna go??

Anyway a lot of plans coming up for the weekend. Hope will have fun.

Mind Boggling...

Reached office rather early today and received an email frm Glen. Glen email is about Warren Buffet and his quotes. I wont yapp' about all his quotes here but there is this one that really attracts me.

" The happiest people do not necessarily have the best of all. They simply appreciate whate they find on their way"

What he said was really true and many of us feel bad or unhappy because we fail to appreciate what we have. Instead of appreciating on what we have we cry over things that we dont have. Will plant that in my mind.....

The Worst Dating Mistakes by Men and Women

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:37:55 GMT

I was web browsing last night and i saw this very interesting article. "The Worst Dating Mistakes by Men and Women". I find it very interesting indeed. Here goes....

My dating life is always amusing. Most of the hilarity originates from my dates' dating blunders. Particularly, I have been out with single men who make these misguided dating moves:

Splashing on excessive amounts of cologne. I don't need to smell you from across the table... I know you exist.
Wearing globs of hair gel. The wet-hair look has thankfully passed a decade ago, or is that wishful thinking?
Yammering on about ex-girlfriends. I want to get to know you first, not the women you've been with. Use your guy friend to cry on, not me.
Suggesting they want an "open relationship." Hold it, buddy. Are you interested in me or my best friend? Make up your mind because versatility in this case doesn't get you dating points.

You may ask, "Who am I to judge these guys?" It's true: I'm no dating savant. I make dating mistakes too. For instance, I'll shower a potential partner with oodles of attention -- I blame the creation of instant messaging for this. Other times, I'll come off so cool or hard-to-get that the guy forgets we're even dating.

At times, I wish Dating 101 was taught back in college. I'd be a dating expert by now. To improve my odds, and your odds, in connecting with that special someone, I embarked on a dating research project by talking with two dating experts about the major dating mistakes women make in the Big City.

Here are four of the worst dating offenses made by single women:

1. Getting lazy about love

Nancy Slotnick, dating coach and author of the book "Turn Your Cablight On -- Get Your Dream Man in 6 Months or Less" claims that you can't expect love to find you these days.

Many people don't make an effort to date and wonder why they're still single.

Many people don't make an effort to date and wonder why they're still single. She recommends spending at least 15 hours a week looking for love like you would look for a new job. She recommends networking by going to events, online dating, and doing whatever it might take to meet someone special.

2. Giving off the wrong dating signals

Many smart and successful women think they intimidate single men. But Slotnick thinks the opposite is true. "Men actually like successful single women. They just don't always know that these women are interested in them." Women should give off the right signals and use body language to show interest. For example, if you're at a bar, stand next to the single man you find attractive and smile at him. At the same time, don't overdo it. Make sure you're smiling and not staring!

3. Listening to words before actions

My good friend and dating coach Andrea Syrtash always reminds me that men especially speak with actions before their words. Sure, he said he would call you next week, but did he? He talked about how fun it would be to go away together for the weekend, but did he make plans with you? Pay close attention to how your date acts versus what he says. The language of behavior says it all!

4. Sticking with cyber-communication

Most of us have heard that countless couples have been formed through online dating. At a wedding, I even heard a couple thank an online dating site in their vows! While I credit the Web for producing countless love matches, technology can often put too many screens up between us. We develop superficial relationships over text, instant messaging, and email. After getting comfortable with someone online, get past the initial stage of dating and lay off the gadgets a bit! Make time to hang out in person to really get to know someone -- not just the personas they present online or on the phone.

I quite agree with what it says here..well......just afew points for us to ponder and better ourself....

Title: Love Letter

dear bboy,

i wanna make you mine by getting married to you, only you!!!
*please imagine how serious am i, pls*

from your dearest darlingirl.

That was extremely sweet of her to dedicate this love letter to her bf......ahhh..... my heart is melting.. hehehe ...maybe i should publish in the newspaper seeking for volunteer to write me this. Hmmm but then it would defeat the purpose. I can feel that what she wrote came out deep down inside. Everyword are glazed with love, care and affection. I wish this couple long lasting love.....amen...

Reactivating my Account

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:02:32 GMT

It has been more than 1 month since i last wrote on my blog. I tried updating and writing something. Everytime i tried penning something down, i would stare at the blank page thinking. There are a lot of stuff that i can write but yet it somehow seem that i am reluctant to spill. I have been writing but yet i did not publish any. It was kept in my own hard drive waiting to be explored.

I was reading PURRLY's blog. Har Har...she published some of my pics there. go to www.purrly.blogspot.com. She called me a chaotic monkey. I was chaotic the other day.. hehee... trying to enjoy myself. It was a night out after the Toastmaster Installation Dinner. Had a couple of drinks and Wallah.....i became chaotic money with 'playafolife'....

Anyway....back to my life... work was not tat good as the economic bubble is on standby waiting to burst. I was idling pretty much. The sense of satisfaction was MIA. All my freelance job went back to MARS. Nothing much i can do about it. Hopefully my career will bloom in Oct when i migrate over combating with my new fellow compatriots.

Kinda think of it, i have not been out on an official date ever since i m back frm HK. Frankly, i didnt have the heart and also the courage. I wonder why....

I was suppose to go on a date with Franny Penny but last minute she stood me up and postponed it to next week. I was pretty excited about it though it was just a friendly date. I even had it all planned out. Well....dun think the excitement will b there anymore next week. Hmmm.... whats my plan?? here goes..

3pm: Pick her up

330 pm: reach KLCC

330 to 430: Hang out at KINOKUNIYA

430 to 630: Petronas Art Gallery

6.30-700: Hang ard KLCC

700 to 900: Dinner at Sanfrancisso Steak House

9.00: Adjourned if it gets bored else lepak at sky bar..

SOunds pretty fun but yet i wont know till the date actually happens.

Hmm.... guess i should date casually more before i get rusty.

Darn it, 3 wedding invitations in 1 month time. Signs that i am getting old as all my peers are tying the knot. I m still the loose rope waiting to be knotted.

** hehehe ....am i ready??
