a DUKE by any other name would smell as sweet :)

call me crazy
psychotic even.
but i was bored
so was browsin thru the list of dukes in the Peerage of England [hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
to see which of these "your graces" had a heir that is,ehem,suitable for yours truly

first one i found was one Sebastian Edward Seymour,Lord Seymour...the heir to the current Duke of Somerset
woww nama die pon dah so perfect...of course its too fancy shmancy and uppercrust laah...but ive always liked the name sebastian...has a romantic feel to it
do NOT remind me of that crustacean from the little mermaid with the exact same name,heh
born February 3,1982 [ding ding ding! perfect? i think YES :)]
BUT,
it turns out he got MARRIED last year
big bummer kan :(

Next up was Henry Fitzalan-Howard, Earl of Arundel...heir to the Duke of Norfolk
Now get this,hes related to Elizabeth of England,Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard
[all three had at one time been Queen of England,although two ended up being beheaded,heh]
born 3 december 1987[ding ding ding!...again,heh]
aaaaaaaannnd,heres the best part!
In 2006, under the name Henry Arundel, he competed in the Formula BMW UK Championship, driving for Fortec Motorsport, and winning the Rookie Cup
Best gila tak best gilaaaa!!!!!
So browse-browse lah kan nak cari his picture
found it!
And decided not to pursue it further
Why?
lets just say his not my type
And his bday is dec 3 which wud make him younger than me anyways

Anyhooo
Ive decided not to get married to a Duke[as in peer of the realm]
because lets face it,they wont want me anyways and who am i kidding
angan-angan besar je lebih :p
But,I WILL get married to a Duke
as in,his name will be Duke
hahahahahaahahah
ish,i also dun wan

Takpe lah
if my future hubby takde title duke pon no biggie lah
he will always be a duke to me
like i will always be his duchess
haha!
i think its nicer that way :D

"the girls a super FREAK"

im B O R E D
so ive decided to test how well u guys know me okay? :)

heres a list of questions:

• what is my full name?
  
• when is my birthday?
• what distinguising feature do i have on my face?[haha cuba get that one right,*hint*hint* it comes out when i smile :p]
• what is my current MOST favourite food?[think hard,the one im always craving]
• do i like soya bean?
• do i like tauge?
• do i like zebra stripes?
• what do i like to call myself?
• who would i like to marry,although its quite impossible [think hard,heres a clue "a peer of the realm" :p]
• and last but certainly NOT the least,who is my dreamlover? [hahaha only ilya can answer this kot,tu pon because he is the hero in one of my most favourite paranormal series by one of my most favourite author...which she is now reading too :) ...try to guess that one!theres a clue in it]
• oh! one more question: describe me in five words...be it in a full sentence or just five single words

i doubt u can get all d questions correct :D

by the way,
would you believe the movel i was reading actually has a video on youtube :)



other than that,
lets ALL say bye-bye to ishraq
the poor boy is hitching off to Sekolah Alam Shah in Putrajaya
where he will spend all his high school years in a boarding school...
neglected...
tormented...
utterly miserable
i feel yer pain,duude,i really do :p

no laah
i hope it will be the best years of ur life ook wak sakawi
luff uuuuuuuu

let me be your wings

is it too much to hope for?
for something magical?

this movie was from my childhood
and i adored this scene
now,
now i still do
even more so :)

froggy do as froggy does :D

so was browsin the net
when i came upon this website where they sell cute frog figurines!
And u KNOW how much i luuuuuurrrve KATAKS!!
so here are a few of my most favourite pics of different frog figurines,mostly frog princes!!!sigghhhhhh :D
but dun bother looking at them if u dun appreciate kataks the way i do lah :p

the nerve

meet iman.
she has a bestfriend.
[actually she has several but she wants to talk about just this one this instant]
he is always busy with assignments and other duties
iman hardly meets him anymore
but iman doesnt mind
because she is always busy too
although not because she is studying,or even working...haha!
Back to her bestfriend
Now he is hardly free
But when he is,he likes to call iman LAST MINUTE and invite her out
The problem is,by that time, iman usually has some other prior engagements she has to attend to
so unfortunately,she has to decline her friend's offer
Now im not gonna go so far as to say that he gets angry over the dis [though its hardly a dis i assure you]
But he does get pretty irritated since it happened twice
Thrice.
And now more than five times
But you can hardly say its iman's fault
I mean,he does ask her out at the very last minute
And she has a life too,you know!
He doesnt have to be such a ninny
[pardon the word,the author has been reading too many historical romances of late,heh]
So what iman doesnt understand is...
Why does he have to be so pissed?
Why does he have to say such biting remarks?
And when she invites him another day,
He replies indifferently,or he has other agendas

It is getting to be a tad annoying and irritating
I mean,she can only take so much pressure
But what can she do?
She,too, longs for the olden days where they can easily hangout,or go to the movies,or go dis other people...haha!
But things arent as easy as it used to be
And he should be aware of that
And i guess both of them have issues that needs to be dealt with too
BUT he should know that
she thinks hes great because he gets her :)
he really does
[of course hes not the only one,but one of the VERY few who does]
from the wacky things they do to the crazy things they say
He makes her laugh :p
And no matter what,she still loves him
and he will ALWAYS be her bestfriend :D



Now
On an entirely different note,
today was funnn
had a great get together w/ the girls
Havnt seen vicky and jenny since 4th of raya last year so it was great catchin up! :)
But we had this really irritating waiter
And vicky REALLY hate his guts
she was giving him the finger the minute his back was turned! haha!
But he WAS really irritating
I mean he was laughing in on our jokes and all lah
AND he even went so far as to ask me where im from???!!!
Eh,cant u tell lah
I just looked at him wierdly and said"Im Malaysian lah"
Where did he think i was from??!!!
Prague??!!! haha i WISH
heh,stupid fellow :p
But other than that it was a real funn day
Even had a great camwhore moment with siew kwan in the car during the traffic jam
heres a picture from the day

anywaysss
i'll say toodles for now
cuz this post is long enough and im boooorrrreeedd
So tatatatata
toodless~~~

wool-gathering

this just in...

san-guine [adjective] Cheerfully optimistic,hopeful,or confident

san-guin-ary [adjective] Attended by bloodshed,characterized by slaughter

Its amazing isnt it how two words that sound so alike can have utterly different meanings
Utterly different in the sense that they are complete opposites
It makes you wonder...who actually comes up with all these words?and their meanings?

Oh! And if your wondering...I got the words from a novel i just read entitled "To Catch An Heiress" by Julia Quinn.
Good novel,and Julia Quinn has been called "Our Contemporary Jane Austen"
Which means, expect a novel from her to be with romance,an abundance of wit and brimming with humour
Just the kind you wanna curl up in bed with a glass of hot chocolate on a cold rainy day
Blissssssssssss......


current interest: Espionage
yess,its HOT :D

hairspray!

so ive OFFICIALLY finished watching all 5 seasons of Ally Mcbeal for the umpteenth time
I dunno why i keep watching the series again and again AND again
but theres just something abt d series that tugs at my heart AND soul
the songs,the characters,and the stories actually create that painful feeling in the heart ooh
u know d feeling kan ilya?hahaha
the one yg rasa mcm hati kene perah-perah because its so romantic,so wonderful,so PERFECT.
And i think that Ally kan,satisfies an inner part of me ooh
the part that likes to dream,to fantasize haha
but seriously lah this series kan best gila
even managed to turn inas into an Ally Mcbeal aficionado ;)
Anyways,here are videos of my favourite scene in Ally Mcbeal
Mostly the music scenes w/ d songs i like,but heyy,
d music scenes are one of the reasons that Ally Mcbeal is so great
without em,it wouldnt be ALLY MCBEAL.

So again,TA!

deep musings

TIME is of the utmost importance
I mean,we may think we HAVE TIME
cuz were young kan?
we hav all these years decked out in front of us
to hell with the future
were all about the here n now kan

but its not actually like that.
Recently,my uncle passed away,at 32
leaving behind his wife and his 4 year-old daughter
Can u imagine how heartbreaking it is for the wife,not to mention the daughter
And it is a great GREAT GREAT loss for our family
My uncle,he was the most religious one in all my aunties and uncles
And he was our only connection to the religion and in keeping us from becoming too stuck on worthly pleasures lah,for lack of a better word
HE was the one who taught my adiks about the religion as well as hafazan
HE was the one who always had time to pray and make extra du'a for d family
HE was the one who always lead our family during tahlils and other majlis
and now hes GONE.
and this disturbs me and saddens me because,
I lost an uncle that deeply cared for the family,
and Im also worried for my family
Wut will become of us?
Wut will become of ME?

Its funny how u thing that u have all this time in the future to better yourself
Or become more pious,and instead of putting importance on worthly goods,prepare yourself for the Hereafter.
But it doesnt work that way,
because u never know when ur last breath will be
So u cant keep on postponing your plan to be a better Muslim
It doesnt work that way

And how about ur promises to others?
Its so easy to make promises these days and think "Well, i dont have to fulfill my promise today or tomorrow or the nearest moment possible,because i still have a lot of time,dont I?"
But the truth is,you dont
What if the person u made the promise to died or went away?
What if you died?

See it all comes back down to TIME
TIME is of the essence
And we are horribly mistaken if we think that TIME will always be there for us
Basically,to put it in physical terms
TIME is ever-changing,ever-moving
And it is us who has to keep up,lest of being left behind

So dont put off today wut u could have done yesterday
Place the religion as the utmost important thing in ur life
That every act u do is to better yourself and bring u closer to Allah
Appreciate and cherish the loved ones around you

maybe then, your life would bring greater meaning to you
Who knows?

the rainbow connection

this song kan
is totally my theme song
"The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog
yeap,it figures kan
just my luck to hav a theme song by a frog
albeit a very FAMOUS frog :)
plus i love frogs kan?
how many pictures of katak tergantung on my wall wut :p

Anyways,this song was originally performed by Kermit in the muppet movie in 1979
And it became so famous that lotsa singers did a cover of the song
singers like sarah mclachlan,the Carpenters,Jason Mraz and even Justin Timberlake
the song was even nominated at the Academy Awards and at Golden Globes for "Best Original Song"

And i dunno
theres just something abt the song that just screams to me
It tells my life story ooh as well as feeds my deepest desire to believe that dreams really do come true
even the impossible ones :)
Hav a look at the lyric and tell me u dont feel optimistic just by readin it
and tell me it doesnt just scream foolish whimsical ME :)

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me


oh if u wanna hear the song for urself,click on Kermit :)

rock MY world.

heres some video of us rocking out mcm chickens in heat

thrill ME

u know

some ppl get a rush from a job well done

or gettin good grades

or buying new clothes and such

but for me,

its a NEW BOOK

can u just imagine the wonderfulness that is a NEW BOOK

the smell of it,the hundreds of pages

its sort of like a new territory waiting to be discovered

cuz u dont know wut the novel will bring kan?

will u like it?

will u dislike it?

will it be included in one of ur most favourite books?

the questions are endless

wut ive discovered is that

a sure fire way to pick me up when im feeling blue

is to read a NEW BOOK!

ive also come to d conclusion that,

i wud be happy to live in a mouldy library

provided u give me a sofa,lotsa books,

and sustenance once in a while [cuz obviously i dont wanna die lah kan,heh]

and the reason why im suddenly contemplating d power that books hav over me is because

i just bought one today!!

yayyayyyayyyayyyyayyy

cuuuuuute kan???

cant wait to read it ;)

mommy mommy

so today was the annual anak yatim event in subang jaya kan?
and i dragged hafsa,syafea,sharmi n nad to go with me...ha ha ha
anyways,the event was pretty funnn
the ppl,the food,the activities
BUT...something,or rather someone, left a rather big impact on me

this one anak yatim
he was so cheerful
and his smile kan melts my heart
i dunno wut it is abt him
or wut makes him so special compared to d rest
mebbe its because he was so cheerful and always had a smile for everyone
i sooo wanted to adopt him
but that wud be crazy lah kan?
cuz how am i to support him :(
but, i did embarrass myself by chasing after him masa die nak balik and asking for a picture ;)
so here it is...

a picture of me and my adopted son[i wish]

but u never know in the future
kalau ada jodoh i'll meet him again kan ;)

oh! heres a picture of us too at d event
