sheila in concert

suzie (my dearest younger sister) has two tickets for Sheila's concert tonite. huhu.. she decided to invite me after her hubby 'dinch' like sheila majid that much. so, im like the 'last resort' kinda thing ler. but, who cares...! its been a while since i last saw her singing on tele or even in dinner functions. the last time i went to her concert was back in 2001 or 2002 (cant remember lah..) where she had this concert to help raised fund for Ibu Tunggal at PWTC.

i guess suzie knows that im in this 'gloomy' mood the past days.

thanks sis.. this will definitely cheer me up.
love u much.

Sheila Majid akan mengadakan konsert bersama IJN Foundation untuk mengutip dana membantu pesakit jantung di Malaysia. Dengan sasaran jumlah kutipan tiket RM1.2juta, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan isteri Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah adalah antara tetamu yang telah mengesahkan tempat di konsert Ratu Jazz Malaysia ini. Konsert ini akan berlangsung pada 1 & 2 Februari 2008 di Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.


Memetik kata-kata Sheila Majid
"Sebagai seorang insan sempurna dan ibu kepada empat orang anak, saya tersentuh melihat pesakit-pesakit yang ada di sini terutamanya bayi dan kanak-kanak. Inilah masanya kita menyumbang dan menghulurkan bantuan untuk mereka. Bayangkan, masih ramai lagi yang tidak mampu menerima rawatan kerana masalah kewangan. Ini satu usaha yang patut menjadi contoh untuk semua artis & lapisan masyarakat. Kita bukan sekadar berhibur, tetapi mengingati mereka yang kurang bernasib baik. Nikmati hiburan tanpa prejudis".

A Better Man

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Go easy on my conscience
Cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame

Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Once you've found that lover
You're homeward bound
Love is all around Love is all around
I know some have fallen On stony ground
But Love is all around

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doin' all I can
To be a better man

sacrifical lamb

.. first it happened way back in 2000.

now, 8 years later... it happens again.

i guess being the 'good son' in your own family doesn't do you much justice. im not complaining. but truth really hurts. i have the most wonderful family in the world and i love them dearly. but being the sacrificial lamb for the 2nd time really sadden me.

i believe things happen for a reason... dan aku pasrah!

*i feel really sad today*

emcee

according to Macmillan's English Dictionary emcee means to introduce speakers or performers at a social event or show (american).

i was the emcee for this 'transformational' event last week. (i think i did mention it in my previous entry.. hehe). nways.. it was held at Grand Maya Hotel, Jalan Ampang. its been a while since i was 'chosen' to emcee for my company's corporate event. i was kinda nervous that day. ...and yes, i did stumble few words here and there during the 'show'. i felt bad but then again, ... what the hack. its not that easy to stand in front of an audience. standing behind the rostrum and trying my best to look cool and sassy was not fun at all. i guess i managed to pull it off and done a good job. way to go shammage... way to go!

this is the chance that im taking this year... huhu.

taking chances

just like celine dion... im taking chances. honestly, i havent heard that song yet. like duggh...!

nways, i think im taking chances and try to transform myself into a better person. well, not that i am hopeless or anything, its just that i think i need to change. couple of days ago, i was the emcee for this event. the event was about transformational. from analog to digital. from zero to one. from old to new. from rag to riches... hehe. the list goes on lah.. anyways, what im trying to say is that im ready to take up chances this year 2008. i want to change. i want to earn more. i want to travel and see the world. i want to start doing work that i love and that is more interesting. i want to see and meet more people. share my visions and missions (over la tuh..).
basically, i want to start evolving and venturing into something new. huhu..

can i do it? yes sir i can... definitely, positively and absolutely.

i dreamt that i was in this place (God knows where-lah..) where it was pouring heavily, it was flooded, cars were washed away by the big strong current waves. i didnt run or take shelter. i was there in the rain and just... doing nothing.

what was the dream all about? i kept thinking about it over and over again. i did ask friends too about it and they say "wahhh... rezeki ko akan bertambah. bagus tuh". yeah right.. like i truely believe that. or is it? emm...

*garu kepala... *

baby opal windixie

you gonna have to turn your head slightly 45 degree to the left to see those big beautiful eyes and that cute face of my Baby Opal Windixie. huhu..

the photo was taken almost a year ago. now he's a big grown male who loves to eat and sleep and play and bite and come running to me at the front gate everytime i come home from work asking for food and like to bring his friends masuk umah and fight.

kesian dia. he never had that experience of suckling milk from his mother cause Baby Opal Windixie is an orphan. sometimes he would come into my room and go to one corner yg ada longgokan kain langsir, and he would suckle. the kain will be very wet with his saliva. he still does that once a while if he sees that my room door is open. cute!

of course we fed him milk during his growing months. beli botol susu baby and time dia melalak mintak susu, we shoved that 'nipple' into his tiny mouth and diam ler dia.. hehe! it was fun and i just adore him.

: )

confession of a broken heart?

... its not that i plan this to happen. its just happened. huhu.. renting the same house with a fashion designer who is also a 'pak andam' has taught me a bit about the Malaysian's fashion industry especially batik and wedding 'planner' thingy eg. baju pengantin, hantaran, make-up and stuff like that. i think its cool to know all these creative stuff. little that i know that while observing this house-mate of mine doing his 'creation', i actually developed a 'knowledge' and 'talent' that i never knew i had it.

...well, obviously my talent doesnt relate to batik-lah. i dont even know how to 'chanting-batik'. i tried coloring on a small piece of batik once at Nexus Karambunai with a bunch of 'wannabees..' (hehe) but it didnt work for me.

doing make-up on people face is something that i find interesting. this is the 'talent' that i picked up when i tagged along with that 'pak andam' when he's doing his 'andaman' stuff. he would share the important tips to me and taught me how to begin make-up from A to Z. from day one, i observed and i learned. but it took me a while to actually did it...

in 2005 i decided to try it on my cousin sister on her engagement and wedding. and then my little sister on her wedding. lepas tuh.. few friends for dinner and stuff. hehe..

you could look at the examples. *of course i didnt do Noryn Aziz.



















a drag queen that i did try my skill on. huhu...
tough jugak nak make-up this friend of mine but i had fun doing it. it was like a last minute kinda thing. i wish i had more time to perfect the make-up and hair style. *he was with the 2nd runner-up winner of Miss Universe*



















that's about it. nothing to brag about ler. im still learning and i dont consider myself as a make-up artist. but im having fun. thats the most important thing kan? oh ya... a friend called me last nite asking for help to make his friend up for her engagement. it will take place on 27-01-2008. ayoo... macam susah but yet i still said YESSS!

wish me luck people!

men's edition

again i watched Oprah the other nite (more than a couple of nites ago). huhu.. and that episode was special cos it was a MEN'S EDITION! the audience were all males. since it was a guy 'thing' so Oprah decided to be at the back stage and let Dr Oz handled the talking and answering questions. It was an open discussion and that everybody in the audience could ask Dr Oz about anything... anything at all.

some of the information shared :

1. 'pop' - strange but true that your P does 'pop' (sudden short sound like a small explosion). its a rare case though. but when this happen to you, your P might not be able to 'work' like normal and you need to 'fix' it. Dr Oz says your P is like a sausage. dont put much pressure on it cos it'll 'pop'. will it hurt that much?? arghh.

2. circumcise - when Dr Oz asked how many in the audience were circumcised? many put up their hands. Dr Oz says it is a good thing. he also adds that men who are circumcised achieve more pleasure in sex than those who're not. is it? emm.

3. male testicales sizes are always un-even. its normal. so dont worry about it. a regular self-check is recommended. did i check mine regularly?? don't think so. huhu..

4. when erection - men's P will either go to the left or to the right. in this case, Dr Oz's P (when erect) goes to the left (just like that beyonce's song). It is normal if you dont have that straight up 'thingy' going on while you're erected. mine is going to the... emm. hehe. go figure!!

*P refers to male private part!

actually there were other topics too discussed in that episode, but i thot... why dont i just focus on the P issue in today's entry to make it interesting... heh!

HAPPY means FEELING PLEASED & SATISFIED

last nite i watched Oprah and the show talked about being happy, joy and gay. the show gets me thinking whether we could choose to be happy all the time? can we just push aside all our sadness and choose to laugh instead of cry?

Oprah was telling the audience that she was devastated when her dog named Sophie was sick and a doctor had adviced her to put Sophie to sleep. On the way home, she cried and a moment later she decided to forget her sorrow and focus on the happy times that she had with Sophie.

what if we lost 'human beings'? would we able to get rid of that sad feeling of losing them in a day or two? i had a hard time dealing with my emotions when i lost my sister who died of leukemia 10 years ago. i blamed ALLAH for letting her died (gila dak??). she was fine and healthy before they had that bone marrow transplant done. my anger and frustration was too much to handle. i always cried when i talked about it. but after a long while, im glad i was over it and accepted the fact that she's gone and no one to be blamed.

you know what? ...sad will always be around us and we can't run away from it. its the facts of lives. i will always try to focus on things that makes me happy. if sad comes, i will let it be and do my best to deal with it.

today im happy!

second day of new year

olla..

am back at my desk after a 'long' holiday. not really la.. i took 2 days leave. on 28dec and 31dec. saja nak abis kan cuti. i did not take a break for quite a while and i thot i'd do so.

... after work on thursday, 27dec ... sori badril... i didnt get that celine dion's cd. therefore, no reviews!! haha. i wanted to go ampang point (cos its closer to my hse) and buy it, but i was tied up doing something else and was kept occupied the whole nite. mus, betol ke single 'taking chances' not that good?? emm. honestly i never heard it on fly.fm, hitz.fm... or even on MTV or Channel [V]. huhu... or ada radio lain yg siarkan ke? *sigh...*. so, i decided not to buy just yet until at least, i read a good review about Celine's new album. kita tunggu je la nanti yek.

sat'day & sunday i was at tg tualang. bermanja-manja with parents and anak sedara. rambutan depan rumah dah habisss. shoot!! not that much of activities except driving ke sana dan ke mari. went to my sister's place at kampar and menghantar kak yus (another sister) gi keje di Hotel Grand Kampar. ... and then makan, tengok tv, makan, tengok tv dan makan. malam... tido! busan tak? haha.

31-dec-2007 - monday already in KL. lepak seharian with aj. got a hair cut and stayed home. i did my count-down at KY with mitch, shah and eirol dlm kehujanan dan kebasahan sambil mendongak ke langit untuk melihat percikan fire-works. nope! nothing could be seen up on the sky that nite. all we could hear was the sound of fire-works from afar. never mind. im not crazy about fire-works anyways... at almost 2am, we decided to go home and hit the bed. i did send quite a few text messages wishing (the usual) happy new year to family, friends and colleageus. saja. buang duit. hehe. quite a number replied ... CHEERS to them.

01012008 - woke up at almost 9am feeling empty and lonely and fat and horny and fetish. well, lets just say that i had a quiet day yesterday.... !

its the 2nd day of new year and my new resolution is still blurry...

arghh!
