Eat, Pray, Love

Eat, Pray, Love. Three simple steps of life. Well at least that's how simple it seems when it's written in a book.

Eat, Pray, Love is a book written by Elizabeth Gilbert. I had a chance to skim through the book somewhere at MPH. Man, I was hooked on it and I was literally standing and reading for nearly 30 minutes until my feet got sore . Every strategic sitting corners around the area was occupied with other bookworms alike and I simply settled for the standing-reading mode. Each one them sitting-readers are enjoying free reading of 'pricey' books and yours truly included. Hehe.

Initially, I was contemplating on whether I should buy the book and read it at home. But, I had to make sure it was worth the buy so that got me flipping from the Eat chapter, to the Pray chapter and finally the Love chapter. Oops, fyi, the book is divided into three main chapters:Eat, Pray, Love. Thus, explains the title of the book.

Eat - I didn't read so much on this part. It's more about her journey to Italy and indulging on loads of pasta. And I skipped to Pray.

Pray - Her journey to India where she found herself praying and meditating at the ashrams. Seeking for her spritiual journey in India. I skipped this part too. I'm not particularly interested in learning about Hinduism. If it's Christianity, Jews, Islam - I'll be reading for sure!

Love - This is the most intriguing part of all and this is where I'm hooked. Hehe. She had her bout of 'love escapade' in Bali. In this chapter, she explained how she had been maintaining celibacy since her divorce. And story cut short, she met the love of her life, a Brazilian guy and they made lotsa passionate love making. Until one day,due to too much love making she contracted a urinary tract infection. She decided to seek medical treatment from the local Balinese healer to get some traditional local remedy which works surprisingly fast and well for her. Her visits to this lady healer enfolds more interesting, true story about a Balinese life.

From her stories, I've learnt that Balinese men cannot accept the fact that some of them may have issues of being impotent and in order to solve issues of making babies between spouses with impotency, it's normal for the local healer to invite young men who are generally cabbies around the Bali town to casually sleep with the wife's of the 'problematic' husbands without any fees. It was just the healer way of helping Balinese men to procreate their clan. Haha. Or in other words, the healer is helping to heal impotency issues by inevitably becoming a pro at pimping. LOL! I was shocked reading that they take it so casually and there's nothing wrong to doing it as long as the husband didn't know anything about it of course. Oh well, I guess it's just how life is in certain parts of the world.

Having read all those, I decided not to buy and keep the book. It was a fun read though. And yeah, they are making a movie out of this book and perhaps we should go check the movie out soon!

Care to Volunteer?

I've been searching for a lot of organisations in Malaysia that perhaps I can join in as a volunteer. The reason why? I just always have a knack for doing charity work. It's just that I never have the full spirit to work all out on it. Nevertheless, a few years back , I had my share of volunteering with Mercy Malaysia. It was a great experience and most volunteers are just a bunch of fun people just wanting to help others. I never officially register as a member at Mercy and I used to get email invitations for volunteer jobs, but I never did join again because I already started working by then.

And now, since I'm back to discovering my 'path', I'm thinking, why not? Why not I give volunteering a shot once again?

I've came across this Sireh dan Cengkih where the author kindly listed out all imaginable sources for you to get started as a volunteer in Malaysia. Go check the link out. And there's a charity bazaar coming up this weekend. I'm not sure if I'm making it there but it'll sure be fun to join in.

Junkonline!

I've been doing lotsa browsing lately. Oh what the heck, I do browsing like everyday. Hehe. I've came across Junkonline since years back but I kinda stop browsing them because I never actualy bookmarked them anywhere. Now I've got it feeding from my Google Reader.

And I think Malaysian underground music scene is awesome. Way better than that ridiculous AF and OIAM shites. Currently, most of my Malay gfs are going rather crazy over this gal ,Yuna.I came to know about her from the 8tv show , The Hoppers & Ahli Musik and lately more from my friends. She's alright. I will support her. Hehe.

Lucky I'm in Love...

Hehe...What are you guys thinking eh? *wink wink

I'm hooked. I'm falling for it. I'm falling for Mraz and Caillat. I love them both. I love Mraz for his laid back and down to earth attitude. I love Caillat for her husky voice and she rocks with the guitar. I dreamt of being a guitarit just like her but I'm crappy with the guitar and so is my voice. I only manage to top hits in karaoke sessions.Hehe.

I wouldn't think I'll be lucky enough if I'm in love with my BFF.Look at it this way.One of my BFF is a girl, ouch, I'll be a lesbo. No no, no way! Haha. Another one of my many BFF is a guy. More ouch. I think he'll drive me nuts all through the relationship and I'll be wishing everyday that I can strangle him to death from all those annoying remarks and jokes.LOL!

* BFF - Best Friends Forever

Mutton Curry : Success Story!

Woot, Adliana!!! Your awesome curry recipe is the bomb girl!!! I tried making the curry this time using mutton. Fresh Australian mutton from Tesco. Haha. From all my previous attempts making my own style of curry which obviously was lacking in vital curry ingredients, I'm proud to announce that my mutton curry kicks ass! Haha!

What's really great about mutton is mainly the fat in the meat itself. I never bother to de-fat the meat because fat brings flavour people! Everything in measurement and timing was just perfect this time. I didn't overdo on the coconut milk either, meaning it's still an okay , eatable, non-uber fatty doze of coconut milk. And yeah, the mutton's fat really helps to give that extra goaty flavour in the curry. Simply imagine, the melting fat oozes and blend into the curry mix. Super delicious.

A two thumbs up for Ad's Curry Recipe! Curry makers newbies, please have a go at the recipe!

I'm blowing you now!

A guy said that to me recently and I was thanking that it was not the other way around. LOL! Alright, the point here is if you have to say something, say it properly and correctly. You never knew what people may intrepret from your sentence. Say it right okay people!

This guy is actually a very bubbly, friendly and talented hair stylist. He's like the second male hair stylist that I've met that is ever so chatty and really good at PR with his customers. The first stylist I met years back was a tad on the queer side so you know what I mean right. Most gays are over the top friendly but they are always the best in the industry. I love them gays. They are so good at fashion!

Okay back to this recent male stylist whom I suspect is a straight guy. Haha. First impression, I thought he's a Chinese. When he started speaking more and more to me, he appears to be like one of those mix Malays. Finally, I totally gave up guessing on his ethnics when he gave me his name card at the cash counter. It appears to be some Mat Salleh name. So I guess, he's a Malaysian, Eurasian.

While styling and making me look pretty, gosh, this guy is like non-stop killing me with styling terms, lamenting on his ex gf hair problems which I thought was totally unrelated to my problem, haha, and the very remark he made which I entirely agreed with him and I was like literally putting my faith on him to make me look good! I've never had anyone, a hair stylist for that matter literally said bluntly on my face something like this."The moment I saw you, I knew that I need to do something with your hair. I so 'geram' seeing your hair." Damn, I know it's all so messy and unruly. Hehe. Since we both were talking like old friends, so it was alright. I didn't mind him scrutinizing my hair and lifting my hair's soul from dead to alive and kicking!

Hey, that's it for now. I'm crapping way too much details.

On a side note, I need to learn to blow dry my hair so that it's all nicely in place and he recommended that the next time I should go for hair straightening instead of the spaghetti-like rebonding treatment. And if you guys wanna get your hair cut by him, pay him a visit at A Cut Above, Sunway Pyramid branch. Look out for that petite, chirpy, fair guy! And guess what, hair stylist also do blog!Hehe.

Impression/Day count going down!

Woa...so much impact if you don't post anything for more than 3 days. On a normal day with at least one post per day, I will get page impression of at least 30ish to the maximum of 80ish. I know it's not that much compared to others like you people because mainly I didn't promote about this blog to others and have effort to drop comments on other blogs too.

I've slowed down on writing for the past couple of days because I was confused, caught up with other things and unconsciously abandon this blog once again. It ain't helping the least bit to bring up the blog impression. Oh yeah, impression is the Google Adsense counter for how many views that you receive per day for your site. I'm telling you, making money with Adsense is hard work and you need lotsa effort and preserverance. For some really good reason, I need someone to kick me hard in the butt to keep me moving. I had a mere 9 page impression yesterday and that was super pathetic.

And on a side note, I'm actually trying to promote another blog. It's a bike blog. Click here. I'm thinking to put Nuffnag over on that site and Adsense on this site. We'll see at the end of the month, which ad is making the most turnover.

Oopps...Flabby!

You see when you start shaking your legs and you feel flabs of flesh moving in rhythm right at your thigh area, that is not a good sign. You need to tone your body muscle. I don't have issues with being overweight because I'm actually a tad underweight. Haha. But the thing is now, I feel that I need to have a tone body. I don't want to have flabby flesh!

Being underweight and gaining a kilo is like almost impossible for me. It will happen I suppose only and only if I stuff my body with oil and fat for 6 times a day which I'm not ever going to be like that. A friend of mine suggests that I should do weight exercises. It's like the more exercises you make, the hungrier you get, thus you will eat more and you will also need some calories burning activities to kick out those extra calories intake. The problem with underweight people is if you eat a lot, your tummy will be the first place to get the fat attack. You'll notice a tummy and ouch, it looks ugly if you are wearing a cute, body hugging baby-T.

Besides weight exercises like dumbbells and so on, I've tried Pilates. Man, my body aches for two days after one pilates exercise and since then, I never came around doing them again. Haha. But I think I should stick back to it because I can see the difference in my abs. It's a really excellent abs work out and it strengthen your spine and upper body area. Flat, toned abs coming up soon. Like the saying goes, "No pain , no gain".

Say no to Flabs! Hehe.

Head to Toe Swimsuit

Peering outside the window checking out on those hunky men in trunks I spotted something rather peculiar. No way, the guy actually has a 6 packs and he's looking good. I wish my babes were there with me to gawk away in glory. Hehe... Oh yeah, I wish it was a scenic view of men and women in skimpy bathing suits trying to get a tan somewhere on a beautiful sandy beach of Australia. So much of wishful thinking eh!

Okay coming back to the peculiar part.

I looked and I looked hard. I finally figured that one of them is actually a female and she's trying to teach another lady friend of hers to master the breast strokes leg kicking with the float. Apparently, this very lady had a pretty weird gear on for her swimming attire. I spotted her wearing a cap. Okay, it's sure is hot out there , but swimming with a cap ? And I'm talking about that full fledged baseball cap, not a swimming cap alright.

I was thinking, oh yeah, probably this is one of those Muslim swimsuit wear, commercially known as the Burqini (I just got to know this from Google. Hehe). However, from what I can vividly remember , that lady definitely wasn't wearing one of those Burqinis. She was actually spotting on a complete, long sleeved, long pants diving suit. She also had a cap on and later on, I saw her putting on a pair of gloves and waded in the water. I was like WHAT???

I don't know if her fashion statement is close enough to be called as a Burqini, the head to toe Muslim swimsuit. At least if she would have put on the proper Burqini, she would certainly looked pretty in it. But with the cap and gloves , I'm just baffled beyond words.

Conquest of the Galaxy :Mars

"INVASION ALERT: Condors is Landing in KL – Fasten Your Seatbelts!"

That's the promo tagline to highlight the return of the Condors yet again right here in KL next week. But that's not the promo picture that I got from their red color flier. I google for that picture above. Hehe.

You may be asking, "Condors...what?"
Check this out:

"The sensational 11-member, all-male Japanese dance troupe Condors is returning to KL after performing to packed halls here eight years ago!

The Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur, and The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac), in cooperation with Embassy of Japan are proud to present Conquest of the Galaxy: Mars from 19 March to 21 March. This three-day only performance is part of their tour, which is supported by the Agency of Cultural Affairs.

Condors has conquered their homeland and turned the Japanese contemporary dance scene on its head. In fact, tickets for one of their performances in Tokyo were snapped up the very day it went on sale! And it doesn’t stop there – Condors Mania has spread all over the world and the troupe often performed to sell out shows overseas as well.

Wherever they go, their performance always sends audiences spinning through amazement, shock, and laughter. From their trademark Japanese high-school uniform outfits to their liberal use of shtick and overblown video imagery, this company redefines what a dance performance can and should be. The troupe is also well-known for its satirical treatment of Japanese pop culture." - Quoted from Japan Foundation KL

Still dazed?? Check out About Condors right at their official site.

I'm still a newbie myself to their performance concept but simply imagine the group from Stomp making their performance but this time with a zest of the Oriential Japanese style with more whacky, upbeat performance for sure to uproar the audience in a delightful frenzy. Let's join them next week at KLPac. You won't be left disappointed. That's a sure thing!

Lamb Shoulder and Gourmet Burger Yasz's Style

A blackened lamb shoulder. It's not over burnt, it's just too much of soy sauce. Some tehnical recipe error there. However, the meat is juicy and not over cooked. Just the color may give you a bit of a shock. That's all. I got a pretty good rating for this meal, so it's not that bad at all.As long as the other person who eats it is happy, I'm happy!


I took some effort to blanched both the asparagus and brocolli for a couple of minutes in boiling water and quickly transfer them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. The end result, you get a crispy, cooked vegetables.


This is the gourmet burgers and fries. It's a gourmet because I made the burgers out of freshly minced beef and mixed some spices like minced rosemary, salt, pepper, a whole egg and minced red onions. You can mix other things too. It depends totally on what you have in your kitchen and yes your creativity of taste! For the fries, I used the normal fries you can buy in the store but surely it'll taste better if you chopped the potatoes yourself into big, fat wedges. After deep frying them, I sprinkled half of them with the normal salt,pepper and paprika. And the other half, I sprinkled the hot fries with vinegar just like the old English recipe of eating fries with salt and vinegar. Yummy!



There are all so yummy and most importantly home made so you need not worry about the high salt and oil content in here.

Just the color may give you a bit of a shock. That's all. I got a pretty good rating for this meal, so it's not that bad at all.As long as the other person who eats it is happy, I'm happy!


I took some effort to blanched both the asparagus and brocolli for a couple of minutes in boiling water and quickly transfer them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. The end result, you get a crispy, cooked vegetables.


This is the gourmet burgers and fries. It's a gourmet because I made the burgers out of freshly minced beef and mixed some spices like minced rosemary, salt, pepper, a whole egg and minced red onions. You can mix other things too. It depends totally on what you have in your kitchen and yes your creativity of taste! For the fries, I used the normal fries you can buy in the store but surely it'll taste better if you chopped the potatoes yourself into big, fat wedges. After deep frying them, I sprinkled half of them with the normal salt,pepper and paprika. And the other half, I sprinkled the hot fries with vinegar just like the old English recipe of eating fries with salt and vinegar. Yummy!



There are all so yummy and most importantly home made so you need not worry about the high salt and oil content in here.

The Last Lecture

I got a hold of this book and had a quick sneak read of the entire book. Frankfully, I wouldn't have known about Randy Pausch or wouldn't even understood why people posted YouTube clips of Pausch giving a last lecture. Thanks to Oprah, my all time favourite show, and on a little note, I think everyone in Malaysia should watch more of Oprah among other things. Okay I got a bit derailed from topic. Okay thanks to Oprah, I finally got introduced to the late Randy Pausch through one of Dr. Oz's shows in Oprah.

A quickie on Randy Pausch :
"On September 18, 2007, computer science professor Randy Pausch stepped in front of an audience of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” With slides of his CT scans beaming out to the audience, Randy told his audience about the cancer that is devouring his pancreas and that will claim his life in a matter of months. On the stage that day, Randy was youthful, energetic, handsome, often cheerfully, darkly funny. He seemed invincible. But this was a brief moment, as he himself acknowledged.

Randy’s lecture has become a phenomenon, as has the book he wrote based on the same principles, celebrating the dreams we all strive to make realities. Sadly, Randy lost his battle to pancreatic cancer on July 25th, 2008, but his legacy will continue to inspire us all, for generations to come. ". - Quoted from http://www.thelastlecture.com/

It's totally inspiring to have someone who battled their last feat in life out of cancer and in the end left the world with an excerpt of hope from his book for everyone to ponder and hopefully mend that little defects they are doing right now in their life. As I flipped through the pages, I was glad that I am pretty much on the right track when it comes to having the right attitude in life so that life is totally lived and not wasted.

The Last Lecture is yet another excellent motivational read and if you happen to go to the mall, do take a quick pit stop to the bookstore and read a bit of this book and it's a whole lot better if you just grab and buy it!

and...

To Randy,
Thank you for the inspirations and May God Bless you!

Hey this is fun! I reckon we need a wee bit of fun around here. Let's check this out!

1. Do you think you are hot?
Shouting out loud, "Yeah!"

2. Upload your favourite picture of you.

3. Why do you like that picture?
Because I was making goofy faces. I would rather look like crap than looking super gojas because I want people to see me as what I am inside and not judging me merely from the first impression and also I don't like people to take advantage of me. So I rather look like crap.

4. When is the last time you ate pizza?
Lunch time with colleagues sometime end of last year I think.

5. The last song you listen to?
No song. Just the sound of cars, boys shouting from the pool, water flowing from the water filter and the fan spinning.

6. What are you doing right now besides this?
Rocking on the chair, talking to my pup and flipping to Take A Break to check on the questions list.

7. What name do you prefer besides yours?
Always love my name especially this one, Yasz. People start calling me this name when I was 12 because apparently people with cockney accent have a knack to making your name sounds uber cool! Hehe.

8. 5 people I tag and I know they won't do anything about it. Hehe.
1. Ms. Kenzo
2. Ad
3. Dayah
4. Hon Weng
5. Ser

9. Who is number 1?
She was my junior from my lovely school Convent. She'll be one of them kids who goes around calling me "Kak Yasmin" up until now. Haha. She's actually the younger sister to my late friend Balkis. I remember having really fond memories doing crazy things as little kids with her. She was really an awesome, smart girl!

10. Number 3 is having relationship with?
I have no idea. That I have to ask her! Hehe.

11. Say something about number 5.
Oh she's my oldest sister. She used to blog a lot last time because that will be the only way we can keep track of her activities. Haha. Since she got pregnant and busy with her cute lil rugrat, she had slowed down so much on her rambling activities. She calls home a lot so I don't have to track her down from her blog anymore. LOL!

12. How about number 4?
He's like the god of Weng-ism but I don't worship him. Haha. I can say, he's one guy that I can look up to because although he's just crazy, wicked in his own way and laughs like a hooligan, he's smart and I can have really good, mature conversations every time with him. He likes to read books and we probably listen to the same kind of music, so yeah, I can't help worshiping him a lil bit. LOL! And I'm tagging you here because I know you are reading this and heck he doesn't have a blog.

13. Who is number 2?
He's a friend of a friend because apparently we both know the same person, Naz. So we get to relate things a lil bit. By far I think he's the longest online friend that I've had up until today. Most of them just gone mia after sometimes. I know him a lot through his blog and just like me, we had multiple blogs before the current one now because we just got tired of the old blog and ended up deleting them. We used to hang out a couple of times and still keep in touch until now. I would really love to check out his new looks and have interesting, catching up conversations with this guy.

I dreamt of couple pounds of Steak!

I was in somewhere in the US with friends and we were in some kind of a food chain outlet that serves really awesome steaks. I was greedily ordering like everything in the menu because I had that sudden knack for eating meat! All I wanted that time was some juicy, red meat. A friend of mine was asking, " You sure u are ordering that. It's not halal you know." Haha..

Well, technically none of us knew if the meat is halal or kosher. I simply replied to him," I don't care. As long as it's not pork, I'm eating!". I was really desperate and dying for some good pounds of read meat. Haha.

Oh well...it was just a dream and I'm salivating already!

Anyways, today's menu is some Gourmet Burgers and Extra Hot Fries! Yummy!

I need a Capo for this song!

After a really futile attempt to strum chords for Kau Ilhamku , we decided to ditch the song and search for something at YouTube. We came across a tutorial for "More than words" by this Aussie guy ; joeldavismusic whom I am assuming is cute because I less than three his voice. Hahaha..

The brake is squealing. Is it a problem?

I knew that the brake has worn out once it starts to make squealing noises once you hit on the brake. I've changed both the brake pads a month ago but apparently, I'm still hearing the squealing. The noise is not as bad as before I change the pad. It starts to squeal when I hit hard on the brake. I really don't know if this is common for new brakes and the mechanic told me to not hit hard on the brake because the brake pads are still new. I guess that's why it is still making noises. A pretty high pitch one too! Hehe.

I've yet to ask other car experts from people at home about this. Anyhow, any one knows why new brake pads squeals when you hit hard on the brakes? And , does it really work to really slam on the break to wear the brake pads a little bit, thus to clear or reduce the noise?

* It's going to take a whole lot of effort for guitar rookie like me and my partner in crime to get playing with this Kau Ilhamku (You are my Inspiration). So partner, if you are reading this, do you think we can pull this song off? If worse comes to worse, we can just start serenading this sweet song to each other then. Haha.

* It's going to take a whole lot of effort for guitar rookie like me and my partner in crime to get playing with this Kau Ilhamku (You are my Inspiration). So partner, if you are reading this, do you think we can pull this song off? If worse comes to worse, we can just start serenading this sweet song to each other then. Haha.

Why do dogs sniff on each other's butt? The Myth!

The topic pretty much came up because we all always ended up talking on random daily things each time we get to meet. I personally find it very entertaining and awesome once we all sit together and brag about stuffs.

Hence, here goes the myth of Dogs Sniffing Butt Action!

Up above in heaven, among all the animals in the animal kingdom, dogs are the only one who actually got kicked out of heaven. The rule to keep your stay in heaven was to not do one thing which is passing out gas ie. fart. For some reason, someone from the dogs groupie actually ended up farting and because they couldn't tell who actually did that, all of them got thrown out of heaven.

In order to save each other's ass which is to get back to heaven, the smartest thing dogs have discovered is to start sniffing on each other's butt to try figuring out if that other dog was the one who farted.

I guess, none of them made it to heaven so that's why up until now, we can still see them sniffing each other's butt whenever they meet. Hehe.

This story is a total myth alright but heck it's a pretty good one to explain the sniffing. However, what if a dog actualy comes over your rear end and start sniffing your butt instead? I've seen that okay! LOL!

Myth aside now.

I just can't help liking dogs. I somehow or rather literally grew up with dogs and if I get a chance to have one, I'm going to name him "Jolly Bar" because that's the name of a dog adopted from Africa and he's such a doll. Our meeting was brief but that is one smart dog for sure.

Please have a make over!

life's a commotion! is in dire need for a face lift or a make over! I've been blogging for over 3 years now and over the years I did came up with some cool, self-made banners. However, things have been kept low key and simplified for over a year now and it's high time for a total blog make over.So just watch out people!

Procrastination and Excuses!

Tomorrow comes Friday and I'm so lacking behind this week.Blaming totally on yours truly for that. The saying goes, "Whatever happens, always blame yourself first. Don't blame others". Hehe.

Anyhow, flashing back on events for the past few days. It was a great meet up with fellow like-minded people. I'm looking forward for more similar events for learning and networking purposes. Some of the things that I've picked up along the way are:

1. If you want to start something, don't go by the 'I'll start slowly' mindset. In business, things are very competitive and fast paced. It you go by 'slowly' you might ended up trailing behind while others keep soaring high.

2. Nothing is ever to late to start. Just start by starting and focus on achieving the goal by having a good plan.

3. "If you want to be a millionaire, don't work with the government" - Anonymous.

4. From how I see it, most people had been going through the trial and error phase in their life just like I did. At some point of your life, you will just know that that's the exact turning point that you should make for that big goal in your life.

5. Never indulge greedily in raw, non fresh seafood because you may ended up with an allergy that itches both your palm and bottom of your feet.

6. Keeping fit is the way of life because you don't want to end up vomiting under the heat and getting drowsy along way.

Enough said! And I'm thinking, the title has got nothing what so ever to do with the rest of this post. LOL!

Tongue Twister!

Try closing your lips and touch your tongue to the upper wall of your mouth and try pronouncing some words. And also, closing your lips and lay your tongue flat and try pronouncing some words again.It's hilarious and try not to get your tongue twisted alright!

The whole ordeal lasted close to 3 hours of making things sound right and perfect. The worse part was when I was asked to spell. On automatic, I started to panic and forgotten almost everything I've picked up earlier but I managed a few seconds later. I also got the inkling that the China man likes to pick on me maybe because I look enthusiast plus blur most of the time.

In short, it went well and I enjoyed it very much. By far, it's the most difficult thing I've ever learnt to speak!

Slow Progress

Oyy! It's already February. January ends way too fast and I haven't been able to do much since Monday. I'm burning up and only fluids will help. I'm seeing a lot of clicks since I last checked this blog on Tuesday. That sounds promising. Will write up more soon!

Peeps,try to stay out of fever, flue and cough this month okay! With the unpredictable weather going all over the world including KL, it really sucks to be sick this February!

Scuba Diving anyone?!

I've been dying to go for PADI licensing since like what 2006/2007. I got in touch with an old yoya mate so she introduce me to Borneo Turtle Divers.Pretty cool eh, lady diver! Yay..that's the way to go!

I'll be planning a scuba trip sometime this year and for those who are interested do let me know.We are not planning to go to Mabul island (located close to Sipadan) although it's pretty darn tempting to make that as the 1st scuba dive choice. Perhaps, we'll just stick to a lower budget for area around the east coast.

Expect to take a week off from work, a budget around RM1500++ and yes, some basic in swimming of course. Hehe.

I wonder if Dave Deden is still blog hopping and if you are still checking out this blog, care to fly down to Malaysia and dive along? Haha..I'm not too sure if this is a really serious invitition from myself either.

Anyone who is interested for scuba diving, PM me!

Recipe for Disaster ...this is Sickness!

"Recipe for Disaster ...this is Sickness!". That's a verbatim taken from a budding young entreprenuer totally distressed due to bad traffic. You see, any normal person will not come close to uttering words like that. It's a perfect stereotype for a person who does too much combat games and sci-fi movies.

Hail it out. Hail it out loud when you are frustrated and mad. Hail," This is a Recipe for Disaster! Bloody Sickness! Over and out!"

Wise Men Say ...

A conversation with a couple of old friends gave me points to reflect on. Such as these the very words from the Wise Men:

Must see the glass half full.

U know what the Germans always say,"Better to be someone in a small world rather than no one in a big space".

Pack masss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...(counter part aku ajar...ala2 cam gambatte la...)

Its always in your thought,set the frequency,then u will get the new one. (* meaning getting what you want in life)

It's good to know some old friends can still keep you motivated and on the right track no matter that the last conversation we ever had were like years ago. Good friends are definitely for keep people!

Going crazy with motivational books!

Try doing this all in one go :
Finish up reading The Secret and Why We Want You to Be Rich and you will see so much effect and good energy coming inside you. The best part is you get to influence the people near you with all the positive vibes that you unintentionally emit.
