life is wonderful

blessed with simple pleasures in life makes it well, just so wondeful. in the midst of distress...the impromptu randomness of unplanned plans, the feel of cold breeze caressing your face, the picturesque landscape unfolding in front of you and the touch of familiarity and blissful warmth carves a smile on your face like no other. that's when you know...you have something good to keep, something priceless to cherish.

one point to note in self-realization: being in sync with positivity, optimism, light-heartedness and carefree happiness gets you the much needed reciprocated results. try, it's not too hard to try. (:

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la it is so...

It takes some silence to make sound
And It takes a loss before you found it
And It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la it is so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full Circle
Wonderful

a moment's happiness

3 tests out of the way; 2 tests and 1 assignment to go.

the cyclical essence of workings is a gentle reminder to be grounded at peaks and be prepared for unfailing recessionaries. when interdependency has become a routined reliance, the feared scripted sequel is much distressed.

Aqilah's 7th!

and so the girl's birthday was celebrated at a pit near the newly opened big splash. i think it was just a big hype about that area, unless the practical outlook of a new amenities area i'd say (an alternative to the mac's area). the cake's yummy, we had fun and aqilah's happy so Happy 7th again! picturesss...

tourist fun

and so we had jln2 cari makan in march! i was still in bed when mentel partner sms-ed that she's already out and on the way. i was so tempted to snuggle back into bed considering the rainy cold weather BUT of course the "semangat-ness" took over me! hehe *mentel*...and so breakfast was all the way to tekka market in search for appam/apom!



the ultimate budget breakfast for two: *speak in mamak taking order tone* 2 appam/apom, 1 egg thosai, 1 hot milo and 1 teh tarik "okay? dhal? dhal?" >>> internal joke (ain didn't want dhal for the thosai and the person was asking..and we were like huh? what was he saying? dah? done? ooooooooooh dia tanya dhal? rupanya)



as ain would put it..we were so 'tak kena gaya' there at the tekka market. all around were the 'older gens' looking at us with their awkward stares like what is this 2 little girls doing here...sesat ke? some pakcik pakai songkok even dengen miangnya,"jemput makan..." ewwww!




after breakfast we decided to roam little india arcade and feel like tourist. at one shop, "aunty come inside take a look!" AUNTY eh??? then, we bought sweets and the uncle was like, "from where? far? fly here? indonesia come ah?" and mentel partner semangatly layan, "ah, jauh datang dari indonesia" hahahahah!




we then headed to national lib for our supposed study date. the courtyard is a really nice place to study!





late lunch/early dinner at "SABAR MENANTI" cause SOMEONE crave to eat minang kabau food! turns out, more like the people have to 'sabar menanti' we finish eating cause we are apparently one of the last customers before they close shop. but yummy food! menjilat jari...



on the way back, i did tudung shopping at arab street! oh and at little india, we bought cheap cheap mentel banglesss. AND lastly, SOMEONE decided NOT to go for the investment talk.... -_- semangat 46 short lived!

randomness

lazing around on my sofa on a sunday afternoon, when i was asked out on a random date! *mentel* and so i accompanied izzati to nus ilsa tari & silat performance at UCC. the dance was nice, i particularly like the rasuk dance..eeriee but great! the silat was erm, how should i put it......obscene & comedic? i was laughing so hard at the guys who were desperately trying to put their weapons back properly & quickly in their waist pouch. so anyways, after the performance magan & us went to guess where for supper? SIMPANG! okay, that was like my idea cause i had to give not one, but TWO simpang outing a miss prior to that. so roti john, satay & cheese fries were my revenge! someone is so *mentel*..i WONDER who. self-professed president of mentel club with NO members, racing/flirting with ang moh guy on the road with signals & inching forward (ewww) tsk tsk..dengan mamak & abang taking order also can flirt..triple tsk tsk tsk! but in any case, thank YOU for being a "gentle" date for picking me up & sending me back home (: (: (:

refresh

Time after time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Turning in circles confusion--
Is nothing new
Flashback--to warm nights--
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after--sometimes

You picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time.......Time after time

After your picture fades
Darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows--i'm wondering
If you're OK
You said go slow--
I fall behind
The drum beats out of time--

If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time .......Time after time
Time after time ,Time after time,Time after time

beautiful song, i love eva cassidy
