So once again, the last day of the year 2010. Day number 365.
The 1st of January is just another day, and counting in this unpermanant life. Like a river that flows. So do days.
I was (am actually, present tense. Still is) on Facebook. Looks like 2010 have been quite a rough year for a lot of us, an unfortunatly, I'm not excluded.
I thought this year has been quite a terrible one. I think I spent 40% of this year crying in bed. Not something good. Lots have been done and have not been done and yes, that's the past.
But to look back again, Amen this year has changed me in quite a lot of was. I made some impossible possible. I walked thorgh the streets of Paris with my two best friends, and had a Europe Vacation with my family. Travelled a lot more places this year. Something I would have never thought of. It's mind blowing actually. Boggling. Bogglyy..
See God makes things happen right? In the midst of brokeness and despair, still I managed a smile, and still the sun comes out to play during the monsoon. Like they say, they a silver lining on every cloud. Or something like that.
Turns out, this horrendous year was not so bad after all.
Spare a smile for 2011. God will be there before you in every way.

Snow travel madness
When travelling during the winter season, there will always be something more than sitting in flights.
many flights were cancelled on the 17th of December 2010 due to the snow storm.
Our flight which transitted in Dusseldorf was delayed making it impossible for us to take that route to Rome. So we had to change and wait another 8 hours for another flight that transitted in Vienna, Austria.
It was more than a flight. When rides are fun in theme parks, the exact same situation was not so fun on a plane going through turbulance and strikes of lighthning that sparks a wild imagination in mind : A burning motor on flight.
With buckets of cold sweat and gripping my sisters hand so tightly, tears ran down when I applaud for the pilot during landing.
So than, hello Roma.

Videos : Istanbul Summer 2010
Here's a few videos I never got to upload to Youtube. I'll start uploading all of my videos during travel now incase anything happens to my computer. T.T (then at least I still have them)
This was taken in the grounds of Sultan Ahmed during the Simit Festival. Yeah no kidding, a festival for their local Turkish bagel.
This is a vidoe of one of the street buskers during the Festival. The moment she put the frying pan looking thing on the ground, I thought she was a snake charmer. Looks like shes an exotic musician. =)
This one is a performance during the festival.
Enjoy!

Don't talk your talk.
We know women. (Obviously, because I am of the species)
And we obviouly know how women talk. *slaps forehead*
And it annoys me soo much to see a lot of them degrading themselves as they speak, weather verbally or on the net.
no 1 : we know you are emotional
no 2 : we know you have problems
no 3 : ok, I admit your problems are bigger than mine
but you know what? It also does not give you the freedom to embaress yourself on the net, in the supermarket, on the road or even in the toilets.
You don't have to go on Facebook to tell the whoever is on your friends list that people are gossiping about you and dissing them like they are on your friends list (and you've put your profile to private), so called so that they can read your status. See, now the world knows that you're being gossiped and tadaa.. even more gossips. Still does'nt solve your so called jealeous enemy problem. And to think you're recruiting followers? I don't really think so.
Guys : *pfftt women*
Your talk, your deeds, your thoughts, they resemble who you are.
Think before you act maybe? If not, you're just another fool being a disgrace to the 'woman' race.

what? *acts sarcasticly, as if I care* or answer with do "I look like I care?"
those were them teenage days long time ago. Kids are much rude nowadays. I think it's the effect of cows milk and sugar poisoned Cola. It makes you both smart, stupid and annoying at the same time.
So I have not been updating this week. I'm actually not even sure what's been going on in my head. To be honest, I don't know if anything is going on *dancing in a dark room of nothing*.
So lets talk about simple things. Like you know when you meet and aquaintence down by the street. So haw have thing been going lately? Are you really going to tell them what you did since 5 days ago? I would just answer, "owhh nothing, I'm fine" *super big smile*
Then again there would be some people you truthfully would want to tell them your story since you woke up last week. Sometimes I really would honestly like to tell people what I go through. But than again, I always think it's none of their business to worry about me *even if they worry sincerely*. So I would rather not worry, deceiving myself because hell everytime I wake up from bed, I'll be counting my steps to the year 2015. See I'm cookoo. Yes, I let myself know that. I'm keep on mumbling alone thank you. And no, I still don't really want to talk about my lonely life in an unknown land where people think I'm so happy.
Anyway, I had fun though today. I went present shopping. And finally managed to get some for people I'm suppose to buy for instead of myself. That RC SLS AMG looked really hot though. I would really like to bring it out in the summer and smile alone watching it. Owh and I drenched my winter boots in the snow, which now looks like I've been out looking for durians in December. Yesterday was hell of a storm. Today, all cars parked outside looked like cute little Mochis.
Yeah, and I find it relaxing to have some sliced watermelon after a day out in the snow.
So, how are you?

Mouth Slip.
When things happen in shock, we say funny vicious things.
The Malay word for it is melatah.
So better watch your mouth.
Hope you enjoy! Have a great week ahead!

She Graduated. I'm Happy.
She thinks it's not much, but I think it's a lot more than that.
Today is my sisters convocation, graduating Diploma in Library Science from UiTM Kota Samarahan. I'm actually down that I can't be sitting in the hall watching her in her robe shaking hands with white headed people, or be present in her graduation potrait and family potrait that would hopefully be hanging in the walls of the house to remind her of that special day. I'm trying not to tear. I really wish I am home now.
She says it's only a Diploma. Well, Lily Humprey wants Serena van der Woodsen to have a Diploma and to Chuck Bass, it's only an accessory. I think it's a great achievement. Even if it's just a Diploma. Those days you went through, sleepless nights, the search of a functioning printer and all the hassle. Why isn't there a reason to celebrate?
I think you should. I have great respect for people who went through mountains and valleys to get a certificate because honesly, I'm not even halfway there. It's hard work, hard hard work. And it's a day you should at least make important. A day of achievement.
You remember the first time you got the offer? How you hated it? You were about to change your course after your first semester. How much have your opinion towards your field change after just a few years? I think that's a lot to celebrate for, now that you're majoring in the exact same field and loving it!
I'm proud of you Changi. I know mummy is too.
Have a Blessed 6th of December 2010. Congratulations on your Convovation.
Thank God for today. *tearing*

Fluffy left us =(
I don't know how cruel humans can be ...
... but we think our new family puppy has been poisoned and today she has to leave the family.
I have'nt met my new puppy since it became a member but I've heard so many stories about it. It's playful and fun and jumps around and barks like an ordinary dog would do. It even poses for the camera.
So what if it's a local dog? Does it make it any less of a dog? No integrity? A disgrace? God made different species for reasons right? Or maybe some people just don't believe in God. It breaks my heart that anyone would actually do somthing to get rid of it.
My family needs dogs to take care of us. We owe our pets a lot. Much more than anyone could use being a dog as a curse phrase. I don't see how being a dog can be so inglorious. Nowdays even humans are worst off compared to animals. Obviously not a lot of people knows how it is when you owe your life to your dog.
See, my family is all girls. And it's kind of hard where your house is under the radar of every possible convict because we are of the female species. Yes, we are weak. And when you are weak physically, people take advantage of you. People come and spy on your house, dig your padlocks and try any way possible to strip you away from what you have. It scares the hell out of you when one day you wake up and there are traces that people have been trying to rob you at night. Yes, I have gone through the experience of being robbed.
That's why we have our family pet to take care of us. To guard us. God gave us dogs to take care to us when we don't have a man in the house. Dogs are womens greatest friends and could even be their accessories.

But why did Fluffy furball had to leave?? I was looking foward to playing in the backyard with her. =(
Pre Holiday Madness
Looks like people have been out shopping a lot these days. Hopefully to bring income to the EU countries after the fiery debate on helping one another. Stores have been filled up to the brim since then. In comparison to last year, more are out on the spree this year though the weather's harsh.
And yesterday I was out in München to get a few stuff and simply just walk aroud to get the hoilday spirit going. It was hardly walking aroud. It felt like being in a mob or going to a concert where you can't see anything in front of you except the persons back and it's like a stagnant mosh pit.
People are everywhere! Even the stores are so packed. To say that they are avoiding the cold winter outside, outside is even more jam packed with so many human beings. I had to take turns just to choose gloves, wait half an hour just to purchase my stuff. A four storey store has more customers than it could even take in. And a silly lady has to just make things horrible by paying in both cash and card. 140€, 100€ by card and 40€ by cash. WTH. The line was already super long and the sales assistants look like they have been working since last week.
With everyone holding more plastic bags than they could, I can say economy will be looking good for Germany. Holding a Hirmes bag with pratically nothing inside. I wonder if that makes you a customer.
Obviously people, Christmas is in the air. Christmas markets are standing against the weather and the giant christmas tree is standing tall in the Marienplatz. Once again the air is filled with the scent of roasted almonds and cinnamon, people clading their Glühwein cups chatting marrily, it's a good sign all. They have gotten their Christmas going and buying lots of Christmas wrappers to make little kids happy.
What have you got wrapped up for your loved ones this year? I hope it's the gift of God. Coz that's what Christmas is about.

Christmas Legos
These Christmas themed Legos are so super cool!!
What do you think?
I wish I have a room big enough to buy them all, set them up and put them on display. Gosh.. I wish I had this kind of stuff when I was younger.
5-12 years old? Yes! I am!

Cucur Udang Please...
Back from class. Not intending to rummage trough the snow storm again. I realized that today is the first day of December.. Hello 20100 in 30 days! So how was your 2010? Mine has been quite a pain in my fat ass. I guess I went through it well. Much preserverence. So much seeds I've sown Hopefully plenty will grow. One day. Many years to come. Like a mighty durian tree.
And while I'm still in awe that December is here, I've been doing lots of eye cleansing. Online shopping is the only way I can survive in the cold. Than I realized. Birthdays in a few days time and I still have'nt gotten anything for gifts. *no I'm not getting you a 200€ VW Lego, hang pi beli sendiri*
Especially to you, daman susah to find the right gift. Please appreciate our efforts. Meeting undercover done a few times. Still can't get anything. I'm still looking. Sorry if it arrives late... or does'nt at all *jk*
While clicking on every online shopping website I possibly can, my stomach is already sulking. The winter makes you hungry every 30 minutes. I don't want to be a hibernating bear. =(
So I had to make myself some cucur udang adabi.
The only thing is that

tadaa~~
The only thing is that
Yesterday I had mi sedap for lunch which expired in June.
To me if it's a packet and it's called instant, I don't really bother if it's expired. Obviously my body still takes it in without much harm.
One thing good about the degraded temperature is
Putting things out to be cold. A freezer is not much needed. =)
I try to be thankful above all curcumstances though. But I think in this cold weather, I would really like some crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside cucur udangs.
owhh look!! I found Ps Tim holding a plateful of cucur udang on Google.
=)
(do visit Asam House in IOI Puchong)
Mun la Siang-Siang blakang rumah ya blakang rumah aku sitok juakk.. bukan stakat cucur udang, lok-lok semua aku sapu ko..
If it's cold outside, what's your comfort food?
