So.. I started drafting an entry this morning, and well its evening now and I have not even completed that draft. LOL.
I'm no longer inspired to blog these days. My life revolves around work just the way i like it so my life ain't that interesting to begin with :P
I tweet more nowadays just because its convenient and its convenient to do so with my blackberry storm :P

Oh yes i got meself a new phone! Its a month old now so kinda an old update hehe but i've been eyeing this phone eversince it first got announced and well the name of the phone helps as well, storm = arashi. LOLOLOL!



My baby. Of course my wallpaper has to be my favourite boys ;)

Today has been a slow day. I didn't go to work today because of the thing called the cramps. I hate cramps, it feels like a bulldozer ran over my stomach. I don't usually get the cramps but the fasting month always makes my system go out of whack especially now since i'm taking meds for me heart. bleah.

Eid is fast approaching, not that i'm looking forward to it. It'll be the same as every year me thinks. The only thing difference between last year's and this year is that i won't be in the ICU recovering from heart surgery hurhur. What i'm looking forward to more than anything else is my trip to Tokyo in December. 3 more months baby! I am so excited. I hope my monthly savings will be able to cover my whole trip. It ain't exactly a breeze having to save up almost half of my salary each month for the trip but i'm sure it'll be worth it. Experience vs Material things, i very much rather have the former. Material things don't last but memories are precious and part of who you are as a person. Well at least that is what i think.

Saturday with my favourite girls was awesome. Met up with ifah, aida and her hubby for our 'breaking fast picnic' @ Class 95's Movies in the Park. The place was packed when we arrived! and it was only about 6.20pm. We were able to get a spot near the tents but unfortunately we were seated near the public footpath so throughout the first movie, Iron Man, there was a constant stream of people walking up and down the footpath. They were either people who couldn't sit still or came late for the movie. Thank god when it came to the 2nd movie most ppl who brought their young kids started making their way home mainly bcoz i guess their kids were tired. We were able to move towards the center of the viewing area for Transformers: Revenge of the fallen and our new spot was fantastic! Will definitely look forward to the next Movies in the Park. Kudos to Class95 for the awesome event (^-^)b




Heard the buzz about the VMA's today? Well particularly about Kanye West's stunt. He should have not interrupted Taylor Swift's moment on stage when she won the Best Female Video Award. I'm not a huge fan of hers but she did work hard and totally deserved the award. Kanye is simply put an immature egotistical prat. Beyonce is one classy awesome lady when she gave Taylor her moment after she won Video of the Year award. I have new found respect for Beyonce (^-')b

If you have no clue what i'm talking about, here are the videos if you're interested:
VMAs )

Last but not least HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my darling sis Asyhhie!!!
*throws confetti*
All the best in your future endeavors! Best wishes and God Bless!
I love you sis *hugs*

"Having people is better than having no people"
- Grey's Anatomy, Season 5 Episode 19

Ain't that the truth. I don't know how I would have gone through the past couple of months without people around me, mainly my family and friends. The support they provided was enough for me to get through every tough obstacle. When I was down during the infection & during post surgery, I always tried not to show the aftermath of pain that was a constant visitor during the night as I wouldn't want them to worry, their visits when I was in hospital was always the brightest point of my day, it always lifted up my spirits, made me forget my worries/pain and made me determined to get well faster. Then there are the student doctors and student nurses I made friends with. I loved talking with them and they visited me when they can. I was surrounded by people and it mattered. I don't know how it would have been then if I had no people around me. 

"Trauma always leaves a scar
It follows us home, It changes our lives
Trauma messes everybody up but maybe that's the point
All the pain and the fear and the crap
maybe going through all that keeps us moving forward
it whats pushes us
maybe we have to get a little messed up before we can step up
"
- Grey's Anatomy, ending: Season 5 Episode 19, Narration by Alex Karev

I know of friends who are going through a tough time. You may not confide in me but that is okay, you have your own demons to kill, obstacles to overcome but I know you will find a solution and come out stronger. I'll always be here if you need a friend. gambare! *hugs*

I had an awesome day with my sisters yesterday. We chose to take an alternative route to our destination, we ended up having lunch at the airport before taking the bus to the Esplanade where we spent most of our Saturday. Caught the Baybeats 2009 final round of auditions in the afternoon, had dinner at Gluttons Bay and watched an excellent performance by Rima Rasif and her band in the late evening. We kinda missed the first two bands during the Baybeats 2009 auditions but some notable mentions were performances by Audiocean, ExDee, Quasimodo, Meza Virs and Stellastory. And I have to say for a black metal band, Meza Virs is worth a listen.

The initial plan after the auditions was to go for the Earth Hour event at the Merlion Park but after dinner we decided to just stay at the Esplanade and watch the band performance at the Outdoor Theater at 8.30pm and I think that was the best decision ever. Rima Rasif and her band consisting of Amos and Roberto on guitar and the electric guitar respectively were needless to say AWESOME! She was hilarious and her laughter was infectious. She is an amazing performer and got the audience singing along to popular tunes like Rehab and Sweet Child O' Mine.

.sisters day out. )

In other exciting news, I finally received my package from my snack partner[info]kissophelia from [info]we_swap_snacks

.Yummy-licious Snacks . )
On a totally random note, I received a handwritten letter in the mail and I have no idea who it is from.  Apparently from the contents the person knows me but the big question on my mind is, "How did he get my address?!?!?!" Meccha scary lei, especially where the letter originated from.  I won't blog much about it but I just might reply just to find out who the sender is. hmmz.

countdown: 1 week to OASIS Live in Concert!!!

I have not been feeling well these past few days. Stuffy runny nose, throbbing headaches and my body feels all wierd. argh.  I haven't been able to do much lately, it's been very hard to focus.  Hopefully the kink i'm in will pass by soon.

I've been watching American Idol today and needless to say most of the performances was boring with a captial 'B'.  I think the most bearable of the performances was Danny's and Tatiana was surprisingly good.  She really toned down alot and i don't get why the judges were trying to coax that annoying laugh we saw in the past few episodes out of her. Very ala high school. Tsk. Anyways I'd say both Tatiana and Danny are front runners for the group.  Third spot is a toss up between Nick and Anoop methinks, i could be wrong tho. One never know what the american audience are thinking.

On to randomness to distract myself from my stuffy nose & throbbing headache =P

music meme
1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

[info]lyricalidol  gave me the letter 'L'
(p.s. - click song title to download song)

1) Listen - Beyonce
I'm not much a die hard fan of Beyonce since i only like a handful of her songs, however i really love this song that she wrote and sang for Dreamgirls.
In my opinion a very inspiring song (^-^)

2) Life - Arashi
One of my favourite songs from their album 'TIME'.
(Lyrics & translation)

3) Leave out all the rest - Linkin Park
The angsty side of me love Linkin Park and this is a song from their album 'Minutes to Midnight'

4)  L' Ultima Notte - Josh Groban
Admittedly Josh Groban is my favourite singer ever. His voice and the songs he sings makes my headache go away.
This is a very beautiful song from his album 'Awake'. I believe it is in italian and he sings it with much conviction tho the lyrics are a tad sad.  Kinda like a breaking up song but still beautiful and powerful at the same time.
(Lyrics & translation)

5) Loop - Sakamoto Maaya
One of my favourite anime related songs. It's one of the ending songs for the anime, Tsubasa River Chronicles.
(Lyrics & translation)

Honestly i had more songs but these are my top 5 so that'll do i guess LOL
