Watched Heartbreak Kid starring Ben Stiller last weekend. It was brilliant!

Synopsis:Single and indecisive Eddie(Ben stiller) begins dating the incredibly sexy and seemingly fabulous Lila. Upon the urging of his father and best friend, Eddie proposes to her after only a week, fearing this may be his last chance at love, marriage, and happiness.However, while on their honeymoon in sunny Mexico, Lila reveals her true beyond-awful nature and Eddie meets Miranda, the woman he realizes to be his actual soul mate. Eddie must keep his new, increasingly horrid wife at bay as he attempts to woo the girl of his dreams.

You'll get what I mean with this title's entry..I don't mind to have a go for second time!LOL!

So guys...please please please...before marrying the girl of your dreams, please get to know her at least more than 6months. You wouldn't wanna end up like eddie =p

Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson

The storm is coming but I don't mind.
People are dying, I close my blinds.

All that i know is I'm breathing now.

I want to change the world...instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.

But all that I know is I'm breathing.
All i can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

I'm free...

Bleeding Love

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
[ Bleeding Love lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

Lifted

New beginning.New life.

Leave all the frustrations behind.

I'm ready when someone is willing to assist me to go through this.I'm waiting for you~

Leo today

You may feel like exploding as your emotions are bursting at
the seams. Even if you believe that you should be responsible, it might be a
study in frustration for you to try to hold yourself quiet now. You've contained
yourself long enough; today something must give. Just share what's in your heart
instead of attempting to be rational.

I'm feeling that now.sigh~

Hope I have fun tomorrow at the gig.

sakit :(

HaTe thaT i LoVe YoU

Hate that I Love You by Rihanna Feat Ne-yo

[Rihanna:]
As much as I love you
As much as I need you
And I cant stand you
Must everything you do make me wanna smile
Can I not like you for awhile? (No...)

[Ne-Yo:]
You wont let me
You upset me girl
And then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forgive (that I was upset)
can't remember what you did

[Rihanna:]
But I hate...
You know exactly what to do
so that I cant stay mad at you
for too long thats wrong

[Ne-Yo:]
But I hate...
You know exactly how to touch
so that I dont want to fuss..
and fight no more said
I despise that i adore you

[Rihanna:]

I cant stand how much I need you (I need you...)
and I hate how much I love you boy (oooh whoa...)

that I..will be under reason why

[Ne-Yo:]
and I hate how much I love you girl
I cant stand how much I need you (yeah..)
and I hate how much I love you girl
but I just cant let you go
but I hate that I love you so

[Both:]
One of these days maybe your magic wont affect meand your kiss wont make me weak

Ramadan finishing~

Yes..in a few days (this Friday/Saturday)..Syawal will be starting soon. Here we called Eid-Mubarak. In Malaysia, we called 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri'.

After nearly a month of fasting, I have learn to appreciate food. From next week onwards, I'll have my lunch at work and small early dinner at home. I still want to be thin. Ok, it's THIN not SKINNY,got it? Those two have different meanings. So, try not to get confuse. It's not that I'm obsess of being thin, it just that I don't want to shop more clothes just because I put on weight.

It was an awful week for me. But today, at least someone acknowledge what I've gone through today :)

I wasn't being late on purpose. There was a building on fire at James St. I have to stop at Heuston Station and walk down to St James's Hospital (because the bus to my workplace is there). I saw the incident. The firemen were struggling putting off the fire. Rooftop was burned badly. It wasn't really a fine morning as smokes were everywhere in that area.

Anyway...

Have a wonderful raya this year & sorry for
everything if I've said & done badly to you

Raya in dublin..for the forth time! Hopefully the fifth would be in Malaysia. Deeply missed celebrating there with family & friends :)

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf Zahir & Batin

My destiny

I have always dreamed of this
I'll admit that there was something I missed
wondering if it is for real
every mistake every wrong turn
everytime i lost my way
led me to this
moment of bliss tonight

with you, finally I can break free
with you, it's all changing in my destiny
dream come true, its so funny now that I see
how different life turned out to be...

You were always by my side
That you believed in me was enough reason why
I didn't stop, didn't give up
even if i sometimes lost hope

I did my best, and I am blessed
in life

with you, finally I can break free
with you, it's all changing in my destiny dream come true, its so funny now that I see
how different life turned out to be yeah

can't get any higher
tell me
does it get any stronger
I owe it to you
that I made it through
I never could have done it without you

With you.... yeah.... I can break free yeah

it's all changing in my destiny
dream come true, its so funny now that I see
how different i turned out to be.

I can finally break free
Because of you, it's all changing in my destiny
Dream come true, its so funny now that I see
How different life turned out to be.

I've realized that it's my destiny.

Leo for the day~

You may feel overly capable of communicating your needs today, but following through might not be as easy as deciding what to do. It isn't the end of the world if you don't ultimately get your way. Carefully step around a potential emotional conflict, for it won't be productive now to lose your temper. You'll be better off if you can find a way to show your intent without being so dramatic.

Facebook is in now people! Much better than friendster in my opinion. But erm, I didn't get the chance to figure out how to explore it. At the moment, I'm just accepting whatever my friends giving me the applications. It's not that I don't want to know how to use it. It just that my mind is not at peace. Too many things happening around me and it's awful. No point of crying, just have to live up and be strong.

Worse, September is ending soon! I can't believe that 2007 is almost over. huwaaa~~

emOtioNs..

It's has been an emotional weekend recently.Sometimes I just don't get men. Why do they gives us high hopes in relationship?Are they trying to take advantage of us? Or maybe for their 'fun' sake? Sometimes it just not right to give false hope on women. Especially emotional women.

This is how I see things happening around me. Man meets woman. Get to know each other. Going 'fast track' in a sudden. Then try to slow things down. The next thing you know, he's gone. He's simply not a man for once. He shouldn't go too fast in 'getting to know' stage. He should have take it easy..I mean, why are you rushing?Scared that she'll be taken away by someone better than you. Is that how things should go?

I've seen a few of my friends experiecing that phase. I just thought that it's unfair to treat women that way. I would prefer if he's being simple. Simple as in, we(man & woman) know whats going on between us instead of wondering 'is he into me?are we friends or more than that?'. If the man/woman clarify how they want things to be,it's fine. At least you know where you're heading to. But if he/she is so indecisive, then might as well you 'widen your options'. Unless you manage to change his/her mind in relationship.

Oh well,life is not perfect. Sometimes, everything happens for a reason.sigh~

Im still figuring out on how can you tell him that he's the one? I mean long-term relationship, doesn't mean you're meant to be with each other. Some cases it falls apart too. I'm not sure why. But erm, I guess the only way to know that he's the one would be:

• able to commit.
• sacrifices for you.
• support you financially(doesn't have to be filthy rich, he might look for wifey no2!) & emotionally.
• loves you sanely(hehehe, who knows..you wouldn't want to end up with a lunatic,right?)
• know how to appreciate you

ok.gotta hit the road.back to work.au révoir~

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy 3 Years anniversary to all Dublin Business School(DBS) Batch 2004/2005!!

Back in 20.09.2004, there were 72 of us arrived dublin to pursue BA(Hons) Accounting & Finance at Dublin Business School. We graduated in 2005, average 30 of us left to Malaysia to pursue their career & life.

Left average 40 of us here, working & studying ACCA, some already affliate, some already married (Congrats to newly weds Erin, Azli/Tempe & Kak Wani).

Is there any celebration? Well, we are busy emailing to each other..discussing on having our anniversary at Najib's house this weekend.Most likely the dress code would be Malaysia traditional clothes-so that we can take the whole batch picture & send it to utusan :D

I can't believe that I'm already here for 3 years!! Anyhow, I'm not sure when is the time to go home for good. Another 2 years?5?..maybe 10???ok..maybe 10 is too much..but who knows right?

Best of luck to everyone still in Dublin and in Malaysia. May our friendship grow stronger day by day.Cheers everyone! :)

Gain or Lose???

Do you gain or lose weight during fasting? It's hard to tell when I keep having big dinner. Like yesterday I had Japanese food with my friends. What do I gain in the end?stomach-ache.ahahaha..that's for having too much food for break-fasting! Anyway, we'll see how it goes in after a week of fasting :D

I post few pics from my camera phone here (before it get corrupted!)..Yes, I think my k750i is dying..been crashing a lot lately.. =(

This is for the winner of playing 'wheel of fortune(prizes)' at Skansen Museum, Stockholm, Sweden.SEK20 per game.Have you seen a 2kilos of Toblerone?

My first birthday celebration with my bestest friends.Thanks sha,bee,sue =)

Me & sue testing sue's new cameraphone

Sha, sue & me on our way to the gym to pamper ourselves =)

hungry & thirsty

yup...that's definitely what I'm feeling now..more towards to thristy fyi..

Monday(17.09) was my first day of fasting in Ramadan..is it worth getting up at 4am to have supper(sahur)?definitely! Why? Because we start fasting at 515am & break fasting at 745pm. Thankfully, day by day dawn will be later & sun set will be more earlier. By the end of Ramadan, we most likely to fast from 6am to 630pm.damn, we missed the daylight saving timezone this year! Dont forget next year fasting...we'll be experiecing more longer hours! Geesh..I wonder how my dear fren azzuhri survive fasting in summer...for now he's lucky as he gets to experience fasting during winter, rather than me during summer! huwaa =(

Bazaar? well, the bazaar held at Malaysia hall. The sellers are mostly chef. My friend told me the foods were expensive! She brought us home the foods. Well, I wouldn't say their food 'sedap nak mati'. They are just plain..so plain than I can cook too! Unfortunately, due to my tireness from work & classes, getting the foods from bazaar might save up our (me & other working people) time cooking for break fasting. Well, the bottom line, I miss Malaysia's Ramadan bazaar! raya 2008 in Malaysia perhaps? :D

I called my best friend last weekend. She's getting engaged end this year & married next year. I just realise that most of my school friends are getting married next year! So far, most of my girlfriends are getting married, not the guys. I'm assuming the guys are taking it easy coz they are too young to get married at 25..right? I keep playing in my mind

'Why the rush?Marriage is a huge commitment!Be cool!When my prince charming propose to me (after I finished my ACCA),then I'll have my happiest day.Save the best for last! :D'

OK, I think i better stop having fantasies, coz I better make sure to finish my ACCA. I mean someone is waiting for me, waiting to propose me...ok,case close =p (fyi, Leo memang kuat berangan! =p)

So far classes are ok. Got 3 questions for homework.(WOW!)..have to submit by this Saturday. Saturday got classes again..sigh..well, at least I have something to do.

Ok, gotta split. Back to work.counting down the hours to break fast..5.5hours to go! =p

Fasting in Dublin

This year, our first day of Ramadhan falls on today 13 September 2007, which is the same date as my dear housemate cik mira's 23rd Birthday.Happy Birthday to her!

Start fasting at 4.50am and it'll ends at 7.40pm(if not mistaken). Had chicken rendang for dinner & 'sahur' yesterday.FYI, I'm not fasting due to women's thingy ;)

This will be our first longer hours of fasting here compare to Malaysia hours. I wish I'm in Malaysia now..can go to pasar ramadhan. But I guess it would be nice to cook for someone who is craving for kuey tiau today..kan? =p

still waiting for zuen to burn our holidays at stockholm,sweden. So will post the 'post' as soon as the pics are ready :D

Happy Ramadhan & Fasting everyone! =)

It's time to be serious..

I'm taking P2-Corporate Reporting & P4-Advanced Financial Management for Dec sitting.

Love vs Infatuation

What, then, is the elusive thing called "Love" that everyone so desperately needs? Sometimes, we sort of like this girl because she is beautiful? Or the girl likes him because he is handsome? But this kind of "Cinderella Syndrome" when the girl is waiting on her Prince Charming, is not real love. It is better known as "Infatuation", and there is a vast difference between it and real love. Enumerated here below are the differences. Find out if you are really in love and not just infatuated.

Infatuation
Infatuation is a feeling; real love involves a commitment also. Infatuation is just love of emotion. Real love though, is love of devotion. Only the emotions are affected in infatuation, but in real love both the Emotions and the Will are involved.

Next, a person "fall into" infatuation, but "grows into"real love. Gentlemen, have you ever seen a girl who was so beautiful that you thought you'd faint? This is infatuation. It is based totally on physical attraction; Often you don't know much in-depth about the person you so-called love. Thus infatuation is mostly biological.

Also remember, never tell a woman you love her, unless you are willing to marry her. Then, infatuation is basically selfish where real love is basically selfless. Infatuation is more interested in satisfying yourself and your "feelings" than it is in the other person.

Real love is primarily interested in the other person. It seeks to give instead of get. Love unselfishly seeks the highest good for the other person.

Lastly, infatuation is weakened by time and separation where real love is strengthened by time and separation. This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation. On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if you are truly in love.

Love
Now you understand what is infatuation, let us now go on to discuss about Love.

1. Love is Patient
The word translated "patient" means to wait patiently for the fulfillment of expectations. When you have difficulty dating this girl and she does not want to come out of her shell, if you truly love her, you will not complain and blame her, you must look at the situation from her point of view – maybe she is having some problems which prevented her from coming out. You must react to it with patience and understanding.Have you ever met someone you liked so much that you wanted to push the relationship and make it progress faster? Sure you have! Love, however, Love is willing to give the relationship time to grow at a natural pace. It does not push but is willing to wait for the relationship to grow at a rate that is satisfactory to both parties.

2. Love is Kind
Love seeks to encourage and build up on others. It respects the feelings and emotions of others. It finds its greatest satisfaction in making others happy, i.e.Compliment one another, magnify the other's strength, Listen to one another. Pay close attention to what each of you has to say and make each other feel that what each says is important, etc.

3. Love is not Jealous
Jealousy usually indicates an insecure and immature heart. Love wants the best for others, but jealousy is possessive. Jealous is reflected in the childish statement, "If he is going to talk to her, then he can just forget about me!" Often, one person wants to totally possess the other and to restrict her relationships with others.

4. Love is not to Brag
Love is not a windbag and is not anxious to impress. Often, a guy will brag to a girl, trying to impress her so that she will like him. A truly great person, however, does not need to exalt himself. Others will exalt him.

5. Love is not Arrogant
Love is not conceited, boastful, cocky or stuck up. Love, instead, is humble and has a servant attitude . Sometimes, a guy may come across to a girl with an "I can take you or leave you" attitude. His demeanor implies, "You ought to be thankful that somebody as neat as me is dating you". Of course this is not love.

6. Love always Covers
This word cover means to pass over in silence, to keep confidential. Love is patient with faults of others. It doesn't criticize or broadcast to the world the faults of others. Love is present even when it knows the other is not perfect .

7. Love always Perseveres
Love always stands its ground and holds out . It will outlast anything. It will even love on the face of unreturned love. Real love will last through all sorts of trials, tribulations and stresses.

8. Love is not Provoked
This means that love has a long fuse. It does not become irritated andangry. It is not easily offended. Love does not seek its own. This isthe heart of love. Love is other-centered not self-centered. Love says, "I love you, I want to give you." Selfishness says, "I love you, I want you!"

9. Love does not act
Unbecomingly This means that love does not behave disgracefully, dishonorably, or indecently. It does not embarrass others by its actions. It is characterized by tact and sensitivity. This also means that love should have good manners. Be sure to do little things like opening doors for your girl or offering her your arm when you walk together.

10. Love is Forgiving
Lastly, this is a MUST for a successful love story. If a guy is not willing to forgive and forget when his girlfriend is only an hour late, he is not exhibiting love. Love doesn't hold grudges when it has been wronged. It doesn't remain resentful.

NEXT: Will blog about my vacation in Stockholm soon ;)

Gamla Stan (The Old Town)

The Royal Palace
With 608 rooms, the Stockholm Royal Palace is the biggest palace in the world still used by a head of state - King Carl XVI Gustav. The palace houses several of the greatest and most interesting sights in Stockholm - the Royal Apartments, the Hall of State, the Apartments of the Orders of Chivalry, the Treasury, the Tre Kronor Palace Museum, the Armoury and the Museum of Antiquities of Gustav III. The Changing of the Guards ceremony takes place Wednesdays and Saturdays at 12.00 and on Sundays and public holidays at 13.00.
The palace has been built on top of the foundations of a previous medieval castle - Tre Kronor (Three Crowns), dating back to the mid 13th century - which was ravaged by fire in 1697. The remnants of the old castle can be seen in the Tre Kronor Palace Museum. The construction of the new palace lasted for 57 years, from 1697 to 1754 and was the largest single construction project in Europe during this time. The Royal Apartments are magnificent, ranging in style from baroque to rococo to Gustavian neo-classisism, like the Pillar Hall shown here, and on to the eclectic styles of the 19th century.
Free admission with the Stockholm à la Carte card to the Royal Palace, The Hall of State, The Royal Apartments, The Apartments of the Orders of Chivalry and The Royal Palace Tre Kronor Museum!

Swedish language
The four major Scandinavian languages - Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic are closely related. They are all Germanic languages, just like English, but have slowly drifted apart during the last 1000 years. Before that, the Vikings spoke a language believed to resemble Icelandic, which - along with German - came to influence English prior to the Normand conquest in 1066. Quite a few words are similar, particularly those describing old concepts such as "hus" = "house", "väg" = "way", "träd"="tree", "sköld"="shield", "båt"="boat" etc.
The languages have played an important role in creating and preserving national identity. Finnish, on the other hand, is not a Germanic language, and is completely different from the others. While a Swede, a Norwegian and a Dane often understand each other fairly well in a conversation and decipher written Icelandic, none of them would understand a Finn. In cases like that, English is likely to be used. (It should be kept in mind, though, that a fairly large minority of people in Finland have Swedish as their native tongue and many people in the country understand both Finnish and Swedish).
Sweden has been a homogenous country for a long time in terms of language. It was heavily influenced by German (merchants) during the 13th through 17th centuries, by French in the 18th century (when the aristocracy spoke French with each other as a sign of good breeding) and by English from the 20th and on.
The Swedish word for travel agent, "resebyrå" can serve as an example. It is composed of the German word for journey, "Reise", and the French word for office, "bureau", with a simplified spelling. By contrast, remote and culturally isolated Iceland has ingeniously created its entirely own word, "Ferdaskriftstofa" by combining the old Norse word for trip "ferd" ("färd" in Swedish), with the old Germanic word for a writing "Schrift", ("skrift" in Swedish), and finally the old Norse word for a small house "stofa" ("stuga in Swedish"), to describe the place where writings for the journey are made.

With the exception of Sami and Finnish speaking minorities in the north, Swedish was used everywhere. It is still the predominant language by far but the situation today is somewhat more complex. Because of immigration in the second half of the 20th century, many foreign languages are now represented and they are frequently used within the immigrant groups respectively. This is particularly true, of course, for those immigrants who have arrived in recent years. In addition, immigrant children also have the opportunity to learn their native language at their Swedish school. Despite the manifolds of languages, Swedish keeps its position as unchallenged official and common language.
One of the minority languages, Sami, is spoken by Sweden's oldest ethnic minority, the Sami. The area, historically related to this group of people, can be found in northern Sweden, as well as in northern Finland and Norway. Today, however, many of them have moved to southern Sweden and Stockholm is sometimes said to be "the largest Sami settlement in Sweden". The native tongue of the Sami is not related to Swedish. However, the Sami people have become bilingual in the process of adaption.
English is taught as a compulsory secondary language in Swedish schools. Since Sweden has become a stronghold of American popular culture, English is also learned to a large extent through TV, music, and films, which are always shown with subtitles and never dubbed.
Tourists from Britain or the US may be surprised at the number of Anglicisms in use today. Sometimes this urge to 'sound English' even becomes a bit ridiculous. A foreigner who wants to buy a Sony Walkman, for instance, should ask for a freestyle.
As English is taught in Swedish schools from the fourth grade, almost all Swedes speak and understand English. Moreover, many Swedes will also know German and some will know French and, a few, Italian and Spanish.

Elliott Yamin: Wait For You

Wait For You lyrics

Wait For You lyrics by Elliott Yamin.

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you and I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I’m all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin’ down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Why can’t you look at me?
You’re still in love with me
[ Wait For You lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Don’t leave me crying

Baby why can’t we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you’re keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it’s the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
I’ll be waiting …

-SSJ 95 Reunion yang best!
Thanks a lot to Sidek and the gang(siti,zufazleen,sharain,aziati and shahn.. er nevermind) for successfully organised the SRK Sri Subang Jaya Class of '95 Reunion held at the Strawberry Fields restaurant, Subang Parade. 49 ex-SSJ '95 were present. Finally, after nearly four months since Sidek came up with the reunion idea, we manage to make it happen! The timing of the event too was just nice, as all the IPTAs are currently on a mid term break and most of the overseas students too are back in Malaysia.

Everything were great! Foods! Long lost friends!!! Lucky draws! and most important of all, i took lOotS of pictures!(you know me,right). At first I'm kinda worried that this event might turn out to be dull and quiet, but thanks to Sidek for making it a 'ceria' and a happening one! Hahha.
Here's in brief of the whole event, besides filling up our stomachs;
-Of course, we chit chat a lot about those good ol' days back in SSJ, although most of us can hardly remembers much! but i do. hahaha.
-Lucky draw was the most 'kecoh' event! hahaha. Biasalah kan, mana ada cabutan bertuah semua orang duduk senyap aje. I didn't won any though but still enjoyed myself bikin kecoh with everyone. ehe
-Sidek sang a Tagalog song, which of course no one understood, wahaha :p
(Well, at least he showed some courage for that! hahhah. since no one wanna volunteer to perform :p)
-Liyana,Suraya and Aizad arrived at 6.40pm! hahha. Everyone had already left by then except for a few of us. Thanks for dropping by you guys. Ingatkan tak jadi datang dah. :D
-Last but not least. Sadly we were short of over two hundred Ringgit because of few people who had already confirmed earlier but didn't came. Nasib baiklah ade suraya yang sudi membantu.

..the SSJ cake

..the guys

..the hot chics

The only minor dissapointment for me were that few of my old friends whom i really really wanted them to come couldn't attend due to some personal reasons and such(takpe2 aku memahami..hehe), like Nik Faris, Amri, Asrif(dandut), Mahmud, Fazli, Liyana Aidira, Azhari, Nazrin and few others. Most of them i considered the 'Orang Kuat' Sri Subang Jaya. Hahah.
Sape tak kenal Nik, ketua pengawas. Sape tak kenal Mahmud yang gila-gila tu dan kaki buli sekolah! hahha.. Azhari pulak, striker no.1 sekolah. hehe..
Nevertheless, I'm still happy that Zaidi and the gang, namely the budak-budak ss14 like Saad(seriously, i missed him a lot,man!),Azam(Ozog),Shah,Zaid and few others (budak-budak SU) came.

Once again i'd like to thank all these people who were present yesterday;
First of all myself(haha), Sidek, Wan Mohd. Firdaus, Shahrizal, Zaidi, Saad, Zaid, Kamil, Hafidz, Ashraf, Fikree, Ohno, Om, Bukhari, Ozog, Megat, Dzazul, Syafiq, Muzamir, Mahathir, Najmi, Muizz, Afif Afham & Nik Katreena(non-SSJ.)
Fong Kim Lim, Jason Lau, Lina Lee, Athalia, Christina, Chin Chow Hoong, Emma Marina, Zufazleen, Siti Mariam, Nuradlina, Norsharain, Aziati, Farhana, Suriani, Dina, Dini, Shidah, Farah Fadhlina, Hartini. Liyana, Aizad, Suraya(another non-SSJ :p)

Thanks everyone! SSJ Class of '95 Reunion Hi-Tea was certaintly THE event of the year for me.

Remark:I just wanna post this as remembrance. My first primary school reunion I've ever been.FYI,I won a lucky draw!hahaha.If this took place in August 2004, I must be quite busy with my preparation leaving to Dublin,Ireland (yeah right, I think that time I was busy figuring out how to celebrate my birthday with my bf!hahaha!)

Anyway,it was fun & really look forward to meet these people again.I heard that there will be another alumni sometime this year, but I'm not sure when is it.huhu~

But the big q here would be 'When am I coming home?'

Maybe next year ;)
