Mumble the Penguin

I looked into the horizon. Trying hard to discern the line which cut across the sky and the earth.
I could not be sure what lies in front of my eyes. I could only assume the line IS the line.
It is in my nature to be curious, I asked lots of stupid questions when I was a kid. Knowing that there was no answer to feed my curiosity, I left them aside with regrets.

Could I blame our culture for instiling such obedient nature in us to accept what is acceptable?
Could I not question myself why I need the certainty?
Could I give you the benefit of doubts?

Should I just shout out that, 'Nothing is in Black and White. We live in a colourful world and have extended the invitation to Grey?!'

At this point, Intention=Result does not apply.
Life is unexpected with twist and turn, and that fit better.
Somehow all I cared about crashed on me when I least expected it.
I thought I had handled it well, I had locked that devil away and never looked back.

Perhaps I shouldn't be so harsh on myself?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

By Robert Frost

I stood at the crossroad for 3 years.
Early this year I'd made my choice to take a different way.
It has been a smooth path so far,
I tripped over stones and drenched my feet with muds,
Yet I can choose not to fret over the wounds on my knees and dirts on my toes.
I have made a difference to my life and I am not going to let myself down.

Failure or Success...Bliss or Sorrow?

Every negative event contains within the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
-Napolean Hill-

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

-Helen Keller-

We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same.
-Carlos Castaneda-

Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.

Happy Birthday Ruz

Forget about my poor poor baby for awhile. This post is dedicated for my Rubber Ducky.

For 364 days, she has been in the bathroom peeping on toilet users. haha. Kidding.

Get real...

On 1 day out of 365 days, she is our Datin.

Her 21st B'day is just around the corner. We surprised her with konon-nya dinner at Sunway Food Court on Saturday. This ducky has been stressing on her avalanche of workloads, curtesy to The One Academy that she tends to be blur all the time. So, that's our winning point.

What's more hilarious was, "Ruz doesn't have any idea where is Sunway Food Court!" quoted JW.

The best part was, Ruz did not even question the 'rule of the day'...dress up! *LOL* that's when my name come in handy. heehee.

So we ended up in Pasta Zanmai@ 1 Utama.

Many sorry(s) & thanks to Jason, for making a reservation while waiting for quite some time before seeing our shadows. (Plan for surprise party always face loose hinge)

Consoling our rumbling stomachs, cameras are the tool of diverting attentions and capturing moments.
Miss Universe pouted her lips like calamari ring. Then she made several attempts to clean her blackened teeth and lips, resulted from squid ink's spaghetti.
JW was supposed to have my facial expression, do you have any idea how much she consumed from Pasta Zanmai? For the 1st time, she urged us to take order =P
A little bit too late to introduce Datin isn't it? heehee, purposely one.

She's very happy with the dinner including our gifts =)

Orang sudah ada style...eyeliner on top and lower lids ya? TOA effect ka?^^

Sitting directly opposite of me, Miss Flower (middle) just came back from Spain (effect of white linen knee-lenght dress) and hunger for Sashimi.

The night ended with more pictures...

"No camera, die lor..." quoted Jason with a sigh.

My baby just have to take a deep fall...sigh

Daniel Powter's song ringing in the background.
"I'm having a bad day..."
Well, not literally from the stereo but it's ringing in my head.
It was a good day until my haywired-gut-feeling told me to check on my phone while walking home. Before I could even see what's on the screen, my beloved S500i was lying on the TAR ROAD in 3 pieces. Battery...cover...phone...*my heart was broken into fragments as well*

Oh GREAT!

It slipped off my grip so fast that I did not realized. Could it be that I was eating fish fillet rice just now? and my hands went slippery like fish's scales? @.@

Thank god my cell phone soul (SIM) did not flew into thin air.
Thank god my cell phone organs (SYSTEM) did not fail on me.
However, it kills me to have scratches and deep scars permanantly engraved on its supposedly sleek and stylish facade!

I'm heartbroken...

Lesson learnt, dont bother taking out or using cell phone during walks. sigh.

Goodbye Not

The Call

It started out as a feeling

Which then grew into a hope

Which then turned into a quiet thought

Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder

'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back

When you call me

No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing

Doesn't mean it's never been this way before

All you can do is try to know who your friends are

As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon

And follow the light

You'll come back when it's over

No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over

No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning

It's just a feeling and no one knows yet

But just because they can't feel it too

Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger

'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come backWhen they call you

No need to say goodbye

You'll come back

When they call you

No need to say goodbye

Look into the mirror

Dear

You are my kin

Yet you are not I

Dear

I have always like you

I aspire to be you

Dear

You seem to be in pain lately

Yet you numb it entirely

Dear

You hate to linger

Yet you ponder

Dear

You know what is best for you

Yet you can't give out your best

Dear

Acceptance is in your hands

Ignorance is in your eyes

Dear

Answer you look for

Lies in your reflection

Isshoni bangohan o tabemasen ka =)

Tuesday night was short and sweet.
Grace had 2 Ping and flower under her care.
Well, it's Ping Shin, Lily and I.
This short and sweet tea time and dinner was meant to be a picture to remember as Ping Shin is leaving for Australia soon.

Pic with umbrella? Yeah, that's Ping!

With her Dreams Interpreter Dictionary, we flipped from pages to pages....we thought deep, laughed and shared.

Haikara Style Cafe & Bakery: Macha Esclair, Chocolate roll(Heavenly good) & red bean Mochi.
The mama of the day. Gracie, you take the throne for a day k? and U did well :)
Chicken in Blanket by B &N @ e-Tiara

Ping and I had a extensice chewing exercise. *swt*
Ooh, romantic-nya! hahaha.

Grace and I got free Japanese Almond Cookies tasting...hmm...being friendly is a good thing =)
Well, time to refresh my Nihon-go!

Just him

After 2 years, he finally returned.

How I missed his sun-kissed hair and deep blue eyes.

He is simply charming...

Standing next to the tanned Prince Caspian, his warmth smile caught the limelight.

For 2 hours and a half, I let go of all troubles in my mind and immersed into the World Of Narnia. I ran along the beach with him and watch him fight one to one with 'King' of Telmarines.

Listened to his sarcasm with Caspian and his heart-felt moments with Lucy...it's just...*speechless*

Celebrities caught on limelight in a very unlikely town in Sungai Petani. LOL.

Cooling tea house with the air of serenity was the best to maintain the emotion. Andrew, Slee, my sis and I went there for dinner.

Next day was "Boardgames Day", 1st: Harry Potter : Slee is freaking amazing...I think it helps to have read the book over and over again.

Throughout the 4 hours games session, my Momo slept through it with cooling air blew against her thick fur.

2nd: Snakes & Ladder : sigh. Andrew and I simply dont have luck to play that game because we couldn't get 6 to start off.

3rd: Monopoly: Seems like not only Nick, Justina, Slee, and JW forgot how to go about it, Andrew was the 5th person. =_=

The day ended with a simple dinner, Korean noodles with Kim Chi and McD Sundae Chocolate as dessert =)

Thanks Andrew, you did finish up the Pringles. haha. I guessed Snacks at Slee's place can be yours too. :)

My mid-break

Second week of mid break is coming to an end! Exclamation mark stands for SHOCK.
Time really flies...other than counting on the dotted lines on my laptop screen everyday...Sigh.

WHY??? It has to be mine?
The wonderful part of LCD screen!

Just before the holidays, Lily, Jason and I went to One U, which coincided which One U photography contest. Those photographers must be half day dreaming and droolling (raised eyebrow) to squint their eyes through the lenses and capture the beauty of the...models?clothes? as those charismatic models struts down the aisle for every half an hour from 12pm till 6pm.

By Dorothy Perkins a.k.a Tina's FAV!

This cost me 25 bucks...Slee, I wont step in Dave's again.
Anyway the splendid dinner was a 'replacement' for Jason who didn't get to see Xixili catwalk session. LOL. okay..just kidding.

Can you see different CMYK? Yellow-based, Red-based and Green-based. XD

This 8 bucks per botol yougurt-milky drinks from Japan
was introduced by Lily..'s mum (supposedly)

Tired? Nah, waiting for my shopaholic sister!

Oh there you are, another East India top! Congrats.

My fav place, Gurney Place which has all the cafes and restaurants...well, the point is I secretly wish to bring my Momo here one day where we can enjoy the sea breeze and sip Passion Tropical Tea Latte together. =)

Well, that is part of my holidays other than doing assignments, clean the rabbits home twice daily, check on my Momo's spot, vacuum off their furs, and nib on food whenever I like.
Speaking of which, I just ate the famous Salted Chicken from Ipoh. Seriously imported from Ipoh k...thanks to my mum's friend. Super delicious. yum yum =0

Inner mind

"Don't be afraid to do the wrong things,"

"There's no wrong path in the first place."

" Love is action"
"Once there's doubts, it's brain talking"

"Don't predict the future,"

"Look at your presense, what is in front of you."

"The answer will come to you naturally...one day...one morning..."

Tagged by Lily

At this time tomorrow, I would be resting against the cold steel rod in my garden, swinging back and forth, watching over somebody...someone who I have not seen awhile, someone who I miss a lot, someone who I can hug tightly without doubts, someone who just love me without any word needed.

Froze to the spot, her eyes scanned her surrondings...looking for rats, cats and dogs simply to get excited for a moment with all the endless barkings which have been a lullaby to me.
