thanks to
nicholas spark with the existence of the novel that i recently read, "
message in a bottle". this is the most touching & romantic book i ever read and i give it two thumbs up for it. i'm falling in love with the author. thanks to
jiha too for recommending the author. the book is so good that i wanna read it again. my favourite parts are all about the letter writing that Garrett ever wrote for his ex-wife, Catherine. I almost cried for most of the chapters; not forgetting the ending. Seriously, it's a very good book. Read it up!
tomorrow all Muslims will start fasting for a month. my schedule will change of course. lunch break will be bored for me if i didn't plan anything to do. i used to take such time meeting my friends, having lunch together but what should i do now? i need to find some ways out to kill the boredom.
sheila & jiha. let's plan on breaking fast together oukaye? it has been such a long time ever since the three of us meet up. i miss our laughter that we used to have during the poly times. i miss the jokes i shared with sheila at work. i miss the bully-ness towards jun han with jiha at school. i miss everything. and i just wanna live my life as happy as before.
sigh. my mind is confused with lots of matter. i don't know why i can't get rid of them. argh. talk again some other time.

soon. few more days to the month of
Ramadhan. the month where most Muslim/Muslimah will be looking forward to.
few reasons why i'm looking forward to it:
1. the opportunity to eating together after
azan mahgrib2. the chances of getting good & great food
3. the preparation for
hari raya is overwelcoming
a busy family like mine. we tend to reach home at different timing. some late & some early in the evening. never we had the chances to gather in the dining room, eating together as a family. honestly, the only time for me & my family to sit down have dinner together is during the fasting month. believe me or not but i know this would happen to some of you too.
when fasting month is around the corner, the availability to get great food are also very high. bazaar
ramadhan will be everywhere (north, south, east, west). of course, can't miss out the bazaar at Geylang & Kampung Glam. by then, the bazaar will also be available at Woodlands, Jurong West, Tampines, etc. just name it what kind of food you feel like eating, for sure you are able to find it. especially, i can't miss out
air khatirah. for those who haven't try it, go on! i'm sure you gonna love it.
correct me if i say that your house will only look nice during
hari raya? everything will be new. everything will be kept cleaned. the preparation of baking cookies & cakes are just so exciting. as usual, since my mum will be selling her famous cakes & cookies, all of us will be busy helping her out. and usually when time draws nearer to
hari raya, i have to show my capabilities in cooking skills. haha. who wanna try my cooking? you might wanna have more of it. haha.
for those who are non-muslim, this month is also known as holy month. all of us will be taking this advantage by reading
Al-Quran, pray (both
wajib & sunnah), doing good deeds, etc. but remember, don't only do it during ramadhan time. practice to make it a habit. it gonna takes time for most of us but i'm sure we'll be able to make it. haha. -
macam ustazah lak-
i have some friends who try out fasting as well as me. it's sound hard to them but actually they have great time. they understand more about the month of
ramdhan. they have better understanding on how we manage to stay strong from dusk to dawn without food. but wait! not only food. you have to "fast" quite a number of thing; not only food & drinks. you can't feed anything into all the holes you have in the body (you know what i mean). you can't see anything obsence such as pornographic. you can't talk back about people. you can't do this. you can't do that. actually, there's a lot of things. slowly, talk to your muslim friends & colleagues, you will understand. =)
maybe in the next post, i could start elaborating more on
ramdhan for your own general knowledge. it's not wrong to learn other culture & customs anyway. it's fun & interesting, i bet you!

Atas Nama Cinta - RossaAku wanita yang punya cinta di hati
Dan dirimu dan dirinya dalam hidupku
Mengapa terlambat cintamu telah termiliki
Sedang diriku dengan dia tak begitu cinta
Mengapa yang lain bisa
Mendua dengan mudahnya
Namun kita terbelenggu
Dalam ikatan tanpa cinta
ChorusAtas nama cinta
Hati ini tak mungkin terbagi
Sampai nanti bila aku mati
Cinta ini hanya untuk engkau
Atas nama cinta
Kurelakan jalanku merana
Asal engkau akhirnya denganku
Kubersumpah atas nama cinta
Mengapa yang lain bisa
Mendua dengan mudahnya
Namun kita terbelenggu
Dalam ikatan tanpa cinta
i'm starting to fall in love with this song ever since i'm watching Cinta Fitri in SCTV. somehow the lyrics of the song are very deep and meaningful. go ahead & download the song; who knows you might like it either.
fireworks celebration was being held at Marina & for sure it's pack with people - just like during National Day, New Year, Chinese New Year fireworks. so did you manage to watch the fireworks? for those who watched i believe that you are having enjoying moments coz it is very beautiful. for those who didn't, don't worry coz the celebration will always be here every year. yesterday's theme was French Romance and today was Korean Fantasia. looking from the news, can really see how beautiful the fireworks are.
sparkling of fireworks. sparkling of love. but what's love? it's very hard to find someone who can really fall in love with you for who and what you are. regardless of how your past is like, he/she is willing to fall in love with you for who you are now. but can you find the happiness then? yes you do. the quality time together between the two parties really affect a lot on both parties - on how much you love each other, how much you miss each other, how much you need each other. but somehow people don't see the happiness in the two parties.
what would you feel when you are in love with someone & yet your parents disapproved of your relationship? with regard to the un-blessed love, lots of obstacles happen between you & your parents, between you & home. it leads from one to another and it tends to build up each & every single day. stress will occur. tension will occur. soon depression will occur too.
it's hard. really hard to let go everything. but it will take lots & lots of time. that's for sure. the feeling of separation is different with you put into an end due to cheating or wrongdoings and with you put into an end due to making everyone happy & hoping that everything at home will change. love without blessing from parents really push you to be strong together but how far can you go, how far can you stand, how far can you fulfilled everything that you thought you can? sacrifies have to be made sometimes. and sometimes sacrifies have to be made due to benefits for all of the parties involved. what we want in life sometimes is not achieveable. similarly, what we don't wish to happen will easily come into our life. like saying, when it is meant to be, it will meant to be yours regardless of how long you wait for it.
but always remember. everything happen in life has a reason in disguise to it. we might not know now. but soon, God will show it to us. maybe now or in the future. God put our life in such that he know what's the best for us. is just the matter of how we cope with our life. being together or not, we have to be strong. if fate is in our hand, it will come back to us.
too much of words & i, myself dunno what am i talking about. sigh. things are complicated to explain in life. that's why life is like a bed of roses. you have to face all kinds of obstacles. be it we like it or not, we have to go through it. of course it's gonna be hard but we have to.

it has been such a long time ever since i last took my free time to blog; most probably a year ago. yup, a year ago. but here i am here, starting back the old habit. sitting down in my room, logging into my laptop & start blogging all interesting stuff that happen in my life.
well, i graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and thank God i manage to pass the papers with flying colours. so now, i'm again studying after 3 months of working in HKTC. a bit tough but i gonna make sure i gonna make it again this time around.
as mentioned; HKTC. so far among all my working experiences at different places, i can't denied that i had wonderful time working there. i have great colleagues. i have wonderful managers. i have lots & lots of fun there. y? i have my good fren;
sheila who has always been there right by my side especially when i need a shoulder to cry on & ear to listen on. of course great buddy colleague;
humin who makes me day more "stupider" & also i'm sharing her "husband". haha. huimin, if you were to read this, you should know what i mean. "husband" is referring to our mr
hanafi; never fail to make the environment in the office merrier each day - in the office, jokes apply that huimin & i are married to him. haha. we also have jumbo cum
jiahui also known as road runner; very quiet guy but after since he's attached to huimin, he is very funny guy actually. haha. not forgetting our "sotong" colleague;
cailing; she loves to eat sotong which i also dunno y, & this lead to her being blur always - haha, no offence oukaye? a very quiet girl in the office;
charmaine; but let me tell you, she's a sweet girl (really).
recca; who left the office already but yet who are still keeping in touch with us; she loves bully-ing me & keep saying i'm a cheeky girl. haha.
mike who take over my place; very cheerful guy, talks a lot, eats a lot. haha. lastly,
suk, our senior among all but yet she already handover it to jiahui; very pleasant still good looking mum oukaye? miss talking lots with her actually. haha. afterall, i really do enjoy myself working there actually. in fact, i miss working there too. great colleague will lead to great working environment. look at us below.
my days in poly were great as i have great classmates - sheila, jiha, jun han & ronald. they always been there & we're always together. already regards each other as our brothers & sisters. we bully each other. we shared knowledge together. we care for each other too. afterall, we support each other decision. i miss going out with them too actually. let's plan another outing? that's us during our graduation. hehe.
studying again! a bit sianx but what to do. i have to make sure i make myself proud. i have to achieve my dreams, my goals & my aims. very seldom you'll hear that a student took up real estate. y real estate? a very good question. well, i fall in love with knowing about real estate ever since in my poly days. i took up real estate course and i find it a splendid course indeed. i wanna venture myself out in real estate. most importantly, real estates are hegde against inflation & there will always be stable income. investing in property market is interesting too. but just have to bare in mind - low risk means low returns & vice versa. thus, that's the main reason y i took up real estate instead of business, IT or etc.
well, additional information for all of you who are reading this. 22nd August 2008 & 23d August 2008, there will be Singapore Fireworks Celebration 2008 being held at Marina. go watch the sparkling of the fireworks at 9pm oritey? i hope it gonna be colourful & better than National Day Fireworks.
tomorrow is TGIF. have you plan your weekends ahead? well, have a good rest during the weekends coz that's when you can relax yourself - mentally, physically. maybe i shall continue some other time indeed. take care peepz. *hugs & kisses*
