Pengorbanan cinta itu indah......

Puteri Gunung Ledang – The Princess of Mount Ledang. It’s a wonderful legend, with sad, sad love story between Hang Tuah of Malacca and Putri Gusti of Majapahit. Pengorbanan cinta itu indah - the sacrifice for love is beautiful.
I went to watch it this morning after having my breakfast at McD, and the post office wasn’t open, so I can’t post my stuff. Anyway come back to the story. I love it!!! The script is so beautiful, and the shooting techniques were great.
Before I watch the movie, I’ve never heard such smooth Malay spoken by anyone else. The words were like flowing in the air, light and meaningful……. Just love it, wonder where I can get the original script…
Everyone Malaysians should watch it, regardless of the race. Although there’s a bit modifications of the story in the movie, but the point is still there.
I remembered there was this lesson in my senior middle two year that my Malay language teacher told us the story. We were like ooh and aah, but after that I forgot it until Nik told me again.
It’s about Princess Gusti of Majapahit, met Hang Tuah the Admiral of Tanah Melaka and they felled in love. They made promises and Hang Tuah told the princess that he’ll find her but he didn’t so the princess went to Malacca, Gunung Ledang to wait for her lover. Because Hang Tuah told her before that he wishes to reside on Gunung Ledang. But Majapahit was under threat and the king, aka the princess brother wanted to marry her to the enemy only he found out that the princess is gone. So he seeks help at Malacca and said that the princess shall marry the Sultan of Malacca. The princess declined by giving the sultan very difficult tasks which is impossible or cruel to fulfil. Meanwhile, Hang Tuah couldn’t do anything even he masters very good martial arts cause, after all, he’s just an admiral. In the end, the princess didn’t marry the sultan, and the sultan felt humiliated and cursed the princess, whoever who sees her after dawn shall vomit blood and die……
Pengorbanan cinta itu indah……

Seven yers ago, a sad sad day......

When she shall die, take her and cut her into little stars.

And she will make the face of heaven so fine,

that all the world will be in love with night

and pay no worship to the garish sun.
(William Shakespeare)

Seven years ago, one marvellous and wonderful woman died in a car crash in Paris, and everyone's tears flow for her, even to this day. She's Princess Di, the people's princess.

I told Nik that I'm really sad over Princess Di's death, and she told me to get a life. I mean Princess Di didn't know me, but she knew. And what she did really do affect a lot of people around the globe. And in some ways, I kinda miss her, you know, I do not know how to explain this kind of missing feeling, but it's there.

Why condoms are packed in 3, 6, & 12......

A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son.
They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad?"
To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms, son.... Men use them to have safe sex."
"Oh, I see," replied the boy pensively. "Yes, I've heard of that in health class at school."
He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package?"
The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys.One for Friday, one for Saturday, and one for Sunday." "Cool!" says the boy.
He notices a 6 pack and asks, "Then who are these for?" "Those are for college men." the dad answers. "Two for Friday, two for Saturday, and two for Sunday."
"WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks, picking up a 12 pack.
With a sigh, the dad replied "Those are for married men.One for January, one for February, one for March........"

I like this:
"He doesn't want to tell anyone,
But he can't resist the urge to let the world know,
That last night in his dream,
She flashed her loveliest smile to him......
I think it's beautiful, read it in one of Jimmy's books, the book title slightly translated to thid: You, Them, & Us.

Poppy, the apple of my eyes……

He’s not only the apple of my eyes, he’s the apple of everyone’s eyes. All guestd who come to my house will love him. He’s adorable, playful, and a very sweet creature. He’s my pet dog.
Cindy said she’ll trade him with her Max, the rottweiler. Which is another playful dog, not at all fierce, because I’ve never heard him bark before. Nik said Poppy is so cute, but she has tortoises at home and she loves cats.
Poppy eats a lot, he’s never full. He loves grapefruit and ice cream, and everything edible. He loves his toys, but he especially loves pillows and towels.
Poppy, he brings a lot of laughter to the family and he’ll always be the family’s Apple.

I really like this pic, which is kinda freaky to some ppl, but it's damn nice to me.

Shikes!

There are few things that I'll always have in mind. One of them is one should have vision, with action, and the vison will becomes reality. This is one the things that my dad told me. And I always, always remember it and I do not know why.
The other thing is there is nothing fair in the world, which is what my form teacher told me last year. I was always protesting, saying this is unfair, and that is wrong. Until one day she turned and told me:" Let me teach you something Winnie, and remember this - there is nothing fair fair in the world, and stop saying things are unfair to you...." and I remeber it until this day, and I shall have it in mind forever... So the other day I went to see my hm and told her I've got problem with the timetable and it's very inconvenient. She told me life is never rosy, so I said "yeah I understand, so that's why I'm trying to make it rosier (by complaining to you and see if I can change anything)......" Later she asked for my name and said she'll talk to my lecturer. I think I offended her... Shikes, and my frens were so chicken, didn't help me or defend me when the hm was attacking me with that bloody rosy rosy thingy...
Whatever, if things got sour on Monday, I'm the one who'll lick the whole bowl of shit. Its a complicated story, whatever decisions the hm n lecturer come out with (about the timetable) someone's gonna hate me for what I did... And I shall accept it. Damn it...

I loathe being compared to others......

Life is never rosy, especially when you're being compared to others. It's so wrong, because two individuals are completely different physicals and different souls, with special qualities and passions towards their own lives.
Unfortunately, I'm always being compare to, for instance - my sister. Oh please, she's an earthling, while I'm a freak from Uranus. But my parents, especially my dad loves comparing us. He'll say, look at your sis, so hardworking, study until the wee hrs in the morn; your sis is putting a lot of effort in her studies; she did her best; she's so pitiful, always has loadful of assignments and projects and school work; she did her best to pass her exams; blah blah blah for miles n miles...... Well I'm damn fucked up everytime he does that. Making me feel so useless, as if I didn't put any effort in my studies; have no responsibility in my own life; didn't do any assignments. Bloody hell... Just the other night he compared me again to those who scored all 5As in the last sem and asked why didn't I score all 5. Damn... make me feel like my 3As are just another pile of shit... He never knows the effect of what he said or done has in my life, the impacts are so immense...
Well I salute this guy, but he lacks the knowledge of, that encouraging outstands pressuring. Especially when it comes to your own children. Luckily I formed my thought when I attended boarding school, life was challenging. I learnt to make my own decisions, to solve my own problems, experience with new things, and most important of all, learn from my own mistakes.
That's one big factor in my life, mistakes. I make mistakes, I take responsibilities, and I learn. And I fall, I get up and keep on going, afterall, life goes on.

Jason and Bruce...

Niki loves this.......

I have a love story I made up myself...

I have never ezperience real love before, so I don't know how it feels to really love someone. But I do know how it feels when you love yourself. And when you really love yourself, you want the best for yourself, and so you fight gor yourself. When you keep on fighting for yourself, you forget about others, and you become a selfish person. And a selfish person I am.
I love myself so much that I have no extra space(s) for a foreign person in my heart. But I do long for love. So I made myself a love story. My Mr. Right, the 100% perfect guy.
He seldom speaks, he said he loves to just listens to me. He never frowns, he always has a smile. He loves the sea, just like I do. He soaks up the sun, what I'd like to do. He plays music, he reads, he cooks, and he'll give me a back massage when I'm down.
He likes it when it rains, and I like it when it rains. The rain calms me, but makes me feel lonely at the same time. We have a hammock by the beach, between two big, shady trees. And we have a lot of our time spend there.
We drink hot chocolate in the morning, and have wine in the evening. We like bordeaux for the red, and chardonnay for the white. We watch tv shows, movies, mtvs...... And we always sing and dance to the songs.
And the day ends with a good night kiss....................

Niki said she's gonna create a blog for the three of us. Niki, JiaKai, and I. All this while the three of us are having shared diaries to keep up with each other. I think it's nice...
Down lo, imageark is under contruction. That means I can't upload anything until they are done... hurry up pls.......
Later I'm going to movie, Alien Vs. Predator. It gives me a feeling of Freddy Vs. Jason. These types of movies are never my taste, but today we've only got that...

This is life...

School starts for about 1 week now, and I'm feeling very much bored and numd. I go to movies everyday cos there's really nothing much to do now...
So yesterday I had this Intro to Mass Comm. lecture and we've got this assignment, big shit coming up. It's a group thingy and we have to chose our own teammates. Last semester, my teammates suck, there was 5 persons in a group but there were really 2 persons doing the bloody job. My fren and I were really fucked up last time and I don't want the nightmare to continue in this new sem. So yesterday when this gal, Shermain came up and asked us to join her, we jumped at the opportunity and joined them. But after that, my old teammates came up and said she/they will join us (KC and I) but I said no, we want to work with new people. After that, that particular girl looked fucked up and walk away. What I wanna say is I'm sorry, but we've got enough of what you put us thru last sem. But really, I don't feel sorry at all, in fact, I feel quite nice because this time around, I've got better teammates. It's either fly or die, I prefer to live, so I fly...

Leon: I'm so scared, Ming-ming...
Yao: Yeah you should, you bloody shortie.

Hm...

This is the end of my 3-week holiday, which I've enjoyed very much. And I've had my craziest, ever, weekend spent with a bunch of wonderful, wonderful people. I think I grew from this holidays... I hace to collect myself back and to prepare for school on Monday.
A new semester, new challenges. It's kinda hard sometimes to meet people you don't know or don't understand or dislike and you have to pretend that everything is ok, that everything is fine, which never was and never will be. Nothing is fine, everything is so complicated that I wonder in awe how somebody can take it so easily. I cannot give concrite example rite now cos my brain just refused to come up with any. But in the end, things will just work out, good or bad, you'll have to accept the consequences. After all, life goes on...
Anyway, come what may cos I've had my sword and armour at hands....... Muahahahah

The 5 violations

I came across these (below) when I read The Glamour Kiosk and found it very accurate n interesting... Its the 5 common violations found in web journal... Anyone who wanna knows more, check moog3000.blogspot.com
Violation One: Needless, uninteresting detail.
Violation Two: Inadvertent, possibly harmful data seeding. (future police state troublemaker culls)
Violation Three: Monomood bitching
Violation Four: Quiz result entries than a 10:1 ratio
Violation Five: Content dilution (typographical errors, full color background pics with white text, lack of paragraph breaks).

Hm... I just asked Niki if she were given the choice to marry one Olympics sportsman, which sports would she goes for? She said she will go for the swimmers. Me too! I love the sports and I love ppl who swim. Water splashing, the watery looks... Simply breath-taking!

Wo-wo yay-yay......

*sigh* Everyday is a mono day... Got a tagboard, so everyone who has something to say, do tag a message. Thanks.

I'm So Addicted!!!

Bloody hell, what kind of addiction is this?! I mean, I have to watch the Olympic swimming events before I go to bed. Or should I be more specific, I'm addicted to watch the water splashing on those swimmers bodies, especially Michael Phelps. This is a syndrome, called the After-Midnight Fantasy Syndrome. People have to watch something attractive, seductive, only they can sleep tide. Shitness, hope this will not last long, cos when school starts, I'm gonna be bloody freaky.

It's Niki's Bday!!!!

This fabulous gal is my best fren who in one way or another shapes what I am today. I can't think of the Me of today if I didn't meet her. I wish her the best way I can wish a person and with all the love in the world, hope she finds someone who loves her, i.e. a good boy friend lo!!!
oh Niki loves this pic:

I really like this part, the chorus of Avril Lavigne's My Happy Ending. Though it's very simple, but it is so true, and she sounds really angry. And that's how I feel sometimes.
"You were everything, everything that I wantedWe were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost itAnd all of the memories, so close to me, just fade awayAll this time you were pretendingSo much for my happy endingOh oh, oh oh, oh oh..."

This is Cool!

Ian, what's wrong?

Ian Thorpe, aka Thorpedo, he looked a bit tense during the events, didn't mind to shave during the heats. But that just make him look more mature and adult. Not to mention, sexy, especially in that swim suit... He got the gold medal, but unlike Micheal Phelps, didn't break the world record, but who cares? As long as he is still swimming, everyone is happy!

This is Michael Phelps, not looking very clear here... he's a super swimmer, 19 yrs old, the same as me! Look at him, Olympic swimmer. Me? Odd-style swimmer. Yeah I do swim, it's just that I swim for pleasure, he swims for prizes... Anyway, this guy set another world record. It's amazing! He looks a bit like the mascots actually... I mean the proportion of his head n his neck is a bit weird... but he is cute!

The Mascots

Athena & Phevos, the siblings. Phevos and Athena represent the values of Olympism: participation, brotherhood, equality, cooperation, fair play.
I thought they looked weird, but nevertheless, cute and lovely.

The Olympic games started yesterday. The opening ceremony was spectacular, simply astonishing! All the performers looked so fake in their make-up and costumes. The effect was brilliant. The essence of excellence was there last night...

I love this pic...
Niki said I look sad over Jonathan's protruding tummy, heheh
Franz Ferdinand. "I say don't you know, you say you don't know, I say, take me out..." funny lyrics, isn't it?

Adrian... so cute, Niki likes him so much, because he's so sweet!

Jonathan here is the near-extinct species that I mentioned last night...
Such irresistable guy, especially those lips, tsk tsk tsk..... oooh aaah. Yup its everygirl's dream come true if this guy is her bf. Seriously, he is so polite and funny. Not to mention, sexy, yummy!

What Turns You On?

Anything can turns u on, but mostly its something somebody carries with him or her that attracts u n catches your eyes, and your heart. Something turns me on when it comes unexpectedly, and tinkle me from the inside and makes me laugh heartily. That is, good sense of humour. As simple as that, what were u thinking?! A good sense of humour, with additional pair of luscious lips, cute nose, dark sleek hair, ....... I'm not asking too much, aren't I? No, it just happen that this kind of species almost extinct nowadays, and you have to put a lot of effort and concentration, too, is required in looking for what's left of this species.

Came across this (pic) yesterday while I was looking for some other things. I thought it is quite cute n funky, the bike. I donno who this Zakk Wylde guy is but he sure has a sense of humour n very artistic too…

These two are also my best frens. We got to get together well when we were scouts in secondary school, and we've been thru a lot in this frenship, that's why we're still together now! And after I switched to another high school, our bond of frenship got stronger, so sometimes distance is good eh...

Niki... crazy gal, but she's so much fun to be with!

This gal loves her bolster, n trust me, it smells, like, I also donno how to describe also, cos it's not something words can express.......

My sis, everyone who knew me knows the differences, but she's sweet... yeah and sometimes spicy also...

Friends are like family to me. In some ways, friends are more like family to me than family itself. Why do I say that? I share a lot of secrets and feelings with friends, more than with my parents and siblings. For example, couple of years back I did something and I was trying to share it with my sister. What I got from her was huge rejection, aggressive objection, and that really broke my heart into pieces. My feeling was, I thought family is suppose to share everything together, but then I was a bit wrong bout that. To really tell the truth, if my sister is human from earth, I’m like, what Niki called – freak from Uranus. Me and my sister, she’s more like a hen to me, I reckon you get what I mean. In a lot of business regarding me, she has something to commend. And that is not a bad thing, but sometimes it’s too much. Though we are raised by the same parents (of course we are!) but the education we received are different, and that lead to differences in opinions and principles of life. She’s the one who worry bout all the things and more family-bound; while I’m much more outgoing, happy go lucky! I should say I’m a risk taker. After all, life is more about experiences, and you learn them after when you needed it the most......

Went out shopping today, bought a cd, Robi Draco Rosa. Not bad actually, his voice has a hint of sadness and smoothness to it. Sexy voice. When he sings this part of the song, Dancing In The Rain “I know we can fly if you’re dancing in the rain you’ll see your body is like a secret that you gotta know. You move like you own the world”. Sweet, isn’t it?

Why?! Tsk... tsk... tsk...

I was quite shocked when I ran across this pic, its Joe! Joe, Joe, Joe……. When I was still in high school, I was head over heels about this guy. Don’t ask me why, cos I really do not know. What catches my attention so much was his figure, he is very well-built, and he did basketball. He is not someone you can tag ‘good-looking’ or ‘sweet’ or ‘cute’. But sadly that kind of guy attracted me, that time, I repeat, that time.
I have to admit that I was quite chutzpah that time cos I bought him gift and bday cards, which I think now was acts of embarrassing myself. Frens told me it’s a waste of time doing that but I insisted, *sigh* should have listened to them! I let him knew that I’ve got something for him, and I just wanted him to know that, and I’m very glad about that. We were friends, no, less than friends, we were just classmates. Yup, never more than that… Niki I’m very sorry, I don’t know whether you still remembered it, but I thought I said something which I think hurts your feelings that time. It’s something like this: you asked me will I give up something for this guy (n I thought its something to do with you, sorry my memory are like shit these days) n I said yes n you look really… em… like you were just forced to drink a whole bottle of J.D. Down lo... (in Jason's slang)
Well it’s all over, so so over. Jason’s teeth turns me on now, baby……

Look! What's New!

This is very exciting! Here's a new cartoon, premiere on Friday.
I'm a cartoon lover, I love cartoons as much as I love calamari, or movies, or music. My dad just can't stands me watching cartoons, he said it's a waste of time. What he didn't get is that I get a lot of fun watching cartoons, and most of the cartoons are very meaningful, rich in moral value and tells the importance of friendship and so on. Who do you think they produce the cartoons for? Ppl like me? No! For the children, so they wouldn't show bad catoons with terrible elements. To those who thinks that watching cartoons is a waste of time~~~Come on, wake up la frens......
