London 2012

http://www.london2012.com/country/malaysia/medals/index.html is a must visit website for me since Olympic 2012 started. This link is clicked each time with a hope to see an entry there...

That page has been empty each time I clicked it.

But tonight, there is an entry there :) A silver entry by Dato' Lee Chong Wei from the Badminton arena.

All of us were hoping for a gold. Malaysians are disappointed when Lin Dan snatched the gold medal from all of us. But, watching the way Dato' Lee Chong Wei played tonight, the disappointment doesn't feel that heavy. He has tried his best. He is the best to us.

We'll get that gold next time :)

I just hope the newspapers won't write anything negative tomorrow. If they do, I would say it's just so typical of them... and maybe we should send them to compete in the Olympics & see how they performed... Urrghhh...

Dato' Lee Chong Wei, CONGRATULATIONS! We love you!

Wuhuhuuuuuuu...

Lagu 'Janji Ditepati'... nak komen sikitlah :)

*In Malay*
Siapa belum dengar lagu ni, boleh la click 'Play'. Kat link Youtube ni, ada liriknya sekali:

Sedap jugak lagu ni. Catchy... Rasa macam nak 'shake my body' bila dengar... hihihiii... Beat dia best. Suka!

Tapi, bab lirik ni... adui la haiii... Especially part 'Kini masa balas budi' tu...

Errr... bukan tak bersyukur, bukan tak mengenang budi...

Cuma... bukankah semua yang dilakukan itu adalah atas sebab itulah sebenarnya tanggungjawab?

Budi yang ditabur, minta dibalas?

Hmmm...

Kita masih belum menguasai ilmu ikhlas...

Hari Kebangsaan... Hari yang sepatutnya menjadi nadi kekuatan & untuk mengingatkan kita kembali kepada betapa sukarnya tanahair kita mencapai kemerdekaan seolah- olah dipolitikkan.

Ini boleh memudarkan warna biru pada Jalur Gemilang.

Itu saya tidak suka. Sangat tidak suka.

Unsung Hero: Bai Fang Li

This is a posting on FB today by Groupon Malaysia. I cried after I finished reading this post. Especially after I saw his picture, wiping his sweat, while cycling his tricycle.

In his on way, he helped to make this world a better place for some people. He touched, changed & helped to improve the lives of so many.

Bai Fang Li taught us that we can all make a difference, for the better... no matter who we are...

He is truly an inspiration.

Bree Sharp: 'David Duchovny'

It's cool when you're a singer/ songwriter... you can express your obsession using a song.

Bree Sharp is such a genius... hihihiiii...

This song is the song every girl with a 'Fox Mulder' obsession will sing to!

I love Fox Mulder! I love Dana Scully! I love X-Files!

I love Chris Carter for writing 'The X-Files'!

I love Bree Sharp for this song!

To my friend Fab who gave me this YouTube link, you're so FAB!

Video & lyrics below. Enjoy!

It's Sunday night, I am curled up in my room

The TV light fills my heart like a balloon

I hold it in as best I can

I know I'm just another fan

But I can't help feeling I could love this secret agent man

And I can't...

Wait any more for him to discover me

I got it bad for David Duchovny

David Duchovny, why won't you love me?

Why won't you love me?

My friends all tell me,

"Girl, you know it's just a show,"

But deep within his eyes

I see me wrapped up like a ball

Watching the sky for a sign

The FBI is on my mind

I'm waiting for the day

When my lucky stars align

In the form of...

David Duchovny floating above me

In the alien light of the spaceship of love, I need

David Duchovny hovering above me

American Heathcliff, brooding and comely

David Duchovny, why won't you love me?

Why won't you love me?

Why won't you love me?

So smooth and so smart

He's abducted my heart

And I'm falling apart

From the looks I receive

From those eyes I can't leave

Well, you can say I'm naive

But he told me to believe...

Ooooooooo....

My bags are packed, I am ready for my flight

Want to put an end to my daydream days and sleepless nights

Sitting like a mindless clone

Wishing he would tap my phone

Just to hear the breath of the man, the myth, the monotone

And I would say...

David Duchovny, why won't you love me?

Why won't you love me? Why won't you love me?

David Duchovny, why won't you love me?

Why won't you love me? Why won't you love me?

David Duchovny I want you to love me

To kiss and to hug me, debrief and debug me

David Duchovny I know you could love me

David Duchovny, why won't you love me?

I'm sweet and I'm cuddly - I'm gonna kill Scully!

Why won't you love me? Why won't you love me?

Yeah...

I'll be waiting...

Like A Fairy Tale...

Irma Hasmie's life looks like a fairy tale in real life :)

The beautiful wedding...
How they met...
You lucky girl! :)

I'm so happy for her...
I wish both of them a happily ever after!

I like!

Aurat Lelaki

*In Malay*

Assalamualaikum y'alls!

Semalam, di stesen LRT, mata saya hampir terkeluar apabila melihat seorang lelaki memakai seluar pendek yang teramatlah pendeknya.

Ini bukan kali pertama saya melihat lelaki tersebut. Sudah beberapa kali...

Adui ai... Sakit mata acik. 

Selalunya, 'imej' tersebut akan cepat hilang... Tetapi minggu lepas, saya melalui pengalaman yang sama sekali lagi, untuk satu jangkamasa yang agak lama. Seorang lelaki yang memakai seluar pendek yang teramatlah pendeknya, di dalam LRT & berdiri di hadapan saya.

Menggunakan ayat yang sedikit sastera untuk membayangkan perasaan saya pada ketika itu...

'Kemanakah harus kuhalakan pandangan ini?'

Disebabkan hal tersebut, saya menghabiskan masa dengan memerhati kasut penumpang- penumpang LRT disepanjang perjalanan.

Maka, demi menegakkan keadilan sesama 'gender', saya ingin menekankan disini:

Bukan wanita aje yang kena tutup aurat cik abang oiiii...

Kalau bercerita tentang menutup aurat, kita lebih banyak bercakap tentang aurat perempuan. Tentang perempuan yang tidak menutup aurat, atau menutup aurat tetapi tidak sempurna. *peringatan ini buat diri saya terutamanya*

Tetapi lelaki, auratnya jauh lebih sedikit daripada orang perempuan. Cuma antara pusat & lutut. Masih ada lelaki yang tidak mampu melakukannya.

Memandangkan saya sendiri mempunyai banyak kekhilafan, maka rasanya tidak begitu layak untuk bersyarah dalam hal ini... maka saya tampilkan video Ustaz Azhar Idrus untuk menerangkan hal ini dengan lebih lanjut.

Apa- apa pun... saya berharap tidak akan berjumpa lagi dengan lelaki- lelaki yang memakai seluar pendek yang teramatlah pendeknya.

Kedua- dua mataku tidak sanggup sakit lagiii...

Sunan Musafir... An Ending or A Beginning?

Warning: For those who haven't read this book, this entry contains spoilers. Read at your own risk :P

Whose face is that? Arghhh... it's messing with my imagination!

*****

Ok... I bought this book on Saturday's evening. I finished reading it in one night :P

I loved it! Mostly because it has a happy ending. Laksamana Sunan & Sang Ratu finally got their happily ever after! *Skipping, skipping*

And to think that Saifuddin is still so cool, tough & macho even though he has aged made me love him even more.

What I love about this final book?

• It prologs with a romantic scene. I click 'Like' like a hundred times :P
• I love that it provides all the answers & conclusions. I don't think there is a story that has been left hanging. Is there? I don't think so.
• I'm so happy for Saifuddin & Ratna. After all the challenges, they finally got together. And to think that both of them joined forces to kick the demons' a**... wow! They are made for each other. Can't find a better match for Laksamana Sunan. Ratna is such a good wife. She's always wise, supportive & strong. No wonder Saifuddin would do anything for her.
• Happy for Luna & Yedee, but sad for Indera. Such love... so touching.

What I don't love about this final book?

• My eyes almost popped out when I read Haryani's name towards the ending. Why bring her back into the story??? Arrrgghhh... She is the only character in Laksamana Sunan's series that I don't like. Unlike unlike unlike! If I'm a writer of a drama series, Haryani would be the character I would kill off at the end of season 1... or if I'm nice, maybe on first episode of season 2. 

Above all, I love the writing style. All the flashbacks & flash forwards spun my brain high & low. Trying to remember all the characters & connect all the stories, was what made reading this novel fun. It's like solving a jigsaw puzzle. You get a piece & put it in a place here & there. Bit by bit until you get the complete picture. It's satisfying :)

However, I felt quite tired towards the end. Too many stories to digest. Too cramped. All the stories of current, past & futures compiled together... it's tight.

I'm actually quite sad to know that this is Laksamana Sunan's last book. I wish to have more adventures with him. Indirectly, Sunan did influence his readers' lives, in so many little ways. That's why we'll miss him dearly.

I'm sure going to miss my Abang Sunan... huhuhuuuu... but he gets to rest now. Happy for him :)

'Sunan Musafir' might be the end of Laksamana Sunan's stories, but I got a feeling that it is a beginning of another.

Can't wait for a new adventure by Ramlee Awang Murshid :)

Have to start to see with 'mata hati' for a better profiling & speak with 'suara naluri' for a better communication. Ahaks!

Under Sunan's 'spells' again & this is going to last for a while now :P

Nite nite y'all! ASFC signing out!
