Be A Good Person

2008-12-20T20:38:00.004+07:00

* People are often unreasonable and self-centered... Forgive them anyway
* If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives... Be kind anyway
* If you are honest, people may cheat you... Be honest anyway
* If you find happiness, people may be jealous... Be happy anyway
* The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow... Do good anyway
* Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough... Give your best anyway
* For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway

Life Is...

2008-12-17T22:31:00.004+07:00

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is beauty, admire it
Life is a dream, realize it
Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is a duty, complete it

Life is a game, play it
Life is a promise, fulfill it
Life is sorrow, overcome it
Life is a song, sing it
Life is a struggle, accept it

Life is a tragedy, confront it
Life is an adventure, dare it
Life is luck, make it
Life is too precious, do not destroy it
Life is life, fight for it

Mean People

2008-04-09T11:16:00.005+07:00

Why people are mean?

According to Martha Beck, because they're hurt. They were crushed. Maybe their parents or their lovers made them really hurt. And they're still afraid the pain will never stop or that it will happen again.

The fact is that we've all been hurt, and we're all wounded, but not all of us are mean.

And I think mean people end up ugly their whole lives (^_^)v

Kehilanganku

2008-03-27T12:11:00.006+07:00

Jalan setapak semakin panjang

Lapang...

Tak berujung

Hanya daun-daun berjatuhan

Rumput tak bergerak

Dan...

Burungpun berhenti bernyanyi

Diam!

Tenang!

Suara angin terdengar pelan

Seiring dengan hilangnya...

Satu sosok yang kupuja

Dalam hati...

Dalam jiwa...

Saat semua airmata jatuh

Saat semua senyum menghilang

Saat semua cerita usai...

Aku berkata,

"Selamat jalan, Bapakku tersayang..."

There's A Lot To Learn

2008-02-21T11:50:00.006+07:00

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that 'making a living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

(Maya Angelou)

I Am A Liar

2008-01-11T13:24:00.002+07:00

Lie is something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.
Lie is to present false information with the intention of deceiving.

Sometimes people lie to get what they want, or for their own sake. Or when they know they couldn't get something or someone they like, they will tell lies to other people so that other people can't have it too.

What a shame. They don't think the consequences what if people find out that they already tell a lie. What do they think about that? How can people trust them anymore? Maybe people will see "I am a liar" written on their forehead. That would be funny, actually

A Woman and A Man

2008-01-03T00:25:00.002+07:00

When a woman is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind
When a woman is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply
When a woman looks at you with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around
When a woman answers "I'm fine" after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine

When a woman stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying
When a woman lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever
When a woman wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered
When a woman says "I love you" ... she means it
When a woman says "I miss you" ... no one in this world can miss you more than that

Life only comes around once. Make sure you spend it with the right person

Find a man who calls you beautiful instead of hot
Who calls you back when you hang up on him
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep
Wait for a man who kisses your forehead
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats
Who holds your hand in front of his friends
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you
Who turns to his friends and says, "That's her!!"

3 Sides

2007-09-22T01:23:00.002+07:00

Some people say there are 2 sides to every story. But for me there are three:

Their side
Your side, and
The truth

Happiness Is...

2007-08-03T23:06:00.002+07:00

Happiness is a consistent, moderate state of satisfaction or joy. True happiness with yourself and your life comes from having a strong, balanced, consistently positive approach to yourself and your world. If a person doesn't feel an overall sense of happiness with life, there must be something wrong.

If happiness is a skill set, then you can learn to be happier. Some people seem to be born happy. Or perhaps these "happier" people have simply already learned these happiness skills through their interactions, through reading, or by having a keen perception into human nature. Their happiness is something you can learn from and achieve for yourself.

Even happy people have down days. It's unrealistic to expect permanent, nonstop happiness. Such a thing doesn't exist in reality. However, you can learn to be more content with your life, confident in yourself, grateful for what you have, committed to your personal growth, full of laughter and good cheer, and optimistic. You can also learn to develop positive, supportive relationships with the people around you. In fact, by focusing yourself steadfastly on these seven areas, you can quite readily achieve them. Just remember that by enjoying yourself on your path to greater happiness, you're already a good way to achieving what you desire.

Dua Sisi Cinta

2007-07-30T21:59:00.002+07:00

CINTA... hanyalah lima buah huruf tak berbentuk.

Tapi dia bisa membuatmu bahagia,
Dia bisa membuatmu berbunga-bunga,
Dia bisa membuatmu selalu tersenyum,
Dia bisa membuatmu bersemangat,
Dia bisa membuatmu terbang melayang-layang,
Dia bisa membuat hari-harimu indah penuh warna.

Tapi dia juga bisa membuatmu sedih,
Dia juga bisa membuatmu marah,
Dia juga bisa membuatmu kecewa,
Dia juga bisa membuatmu penuh curiga,
Dia juga bisa membuatmu gila,
Dia juga bisa membuatmu menangis.

CINTA... bahkan diapun punya sisi baik dan sisi buruk.

Jagalah cintamu yang sudah ada.
Peliharalah cintamu yang sudah kau punya.

Positive Thinking

2007-07-14T09:28:00.004+07:00

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets
So love the people who treat you right
Forget about the ones who don't
And believe that everything happens for a reason

If you get a chance, take it
If it changes your life, let it
Nobody said that it would be easy
They just promised it would be worth it

Feel Much Better

2007-07-11T08:36:00.002+07:00

As we grow up, we learn that even the person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time
You will break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken

You will fight with your best friend
You will blame a new love for things an old one did
You will cry because time is passing too fast
And you will eventually lose someone you love

So take too many pictures
Laugh too much
And love like you've never been hurt
Because every 60 seconds you spend upset
Is a minute of happiness you'll never get back

Joy: "I hope today is bright, no cloudy, no rain."
Nits: "Hope so. Life goes on, and I have to move on."

I Want A Guy...

2007-07-10T23:06:00.002+07:00

Who would move the hair away from my eyes
Who would hold my hand and make all the girls jealous
Who would sing to me at random moments
Who would let me sleep on his chest
Who would get mad if someone called me with bad names or was mean to me

Who would call me if he went away
Who would listen to my story, and smile
Who would laugh at me when I acted dumb
Who would make fun of me just to make me laugh
And then kiss me a million times

Who would give me big bear hugs all the time
Who would tell his friends about me
Who would never be afraid to say "I Love You" in front of his friends
Who would argue about silly things then make up
Who would spend time with me on weekend

Who would watch movies together
Who would just sit together and read book
Who would tell me I'm beautiful but not too often
Who would make me laugh like no one else could
Who would be honest and share everything with me

But mostly, I want someone
Who would always be my best friend
And would never break my heart

If You Love Someone...

2007-07-04T21:43:00.002+07:00

Tell her how you admire her
When she's upset, hold her tight
Pick her over all of the other girls you hang out with
Hold her hand, let her fall asleep in your arms
Get her mad at you, then kiss her
Look into her eyes, smile, and kiss on her forehead

Tell her she looks beautiful
When she's sad, stay on the phone with her even if she's not saying anything
Dance with her even if there's no music
Sing to her no matter how awful you sound
Play with her hair, tell her jokes
And when you fall in love with her... tell her you love her at all times

Dear Diary

2007-06-23T12:50:00.001+07:00

Dear Diary, let me tell you 'bout my story
I know it's rather sad
But that's the way I feel

Dear Diary, I don't know if this is right or wrong
Started thinking of leaving him
But I'm afraid it might hurt him

All I want is for everything in the right place
And everyone is happy
Is it too much to ask for

Dear Diary, strong is not exactly the right word
Started thinking of leaving him
But I'm afraid it might hurt him

All I want is for everything in the right place
So everyone is happy
Is that too much to ask for

Dear Diary, strong is not exactly the right word
I don't know what to do now
Confusion is all over me

-- I knew someday I'm going to lose you --

She Is Like Moung Pichaya

True Friends

2007-04-19T01:16:00.001+07:00

You are my friend, and you bring me another friends
And here we are, a group of people
Our circle of friends...

We've met so many people in our lives
Even the strangers in your neighborhood,
Or the strangers in other part of the world
They all can be your friends

But they will leave you for a short time,
And only very few will stay close to you

Someone who always be there for you when you have ups and down
Someone who always listen to your problems
Someone who always honest and tell the truth, even if it's bad
Someone who always willing to give, not only take
Someone who always back you up and never let you down
Someone who is not taking advantage of you

One good friend is worth more than a dozen others
Don't be the only one who doesn't know what's happening
Just because you would not take the time to listen

True friends will always stay in your heart forever
Then which one is more important, the quantity or quality?

~~* I dedicate this to my very best friend, P *~~

Empty Inside

2007-04-06T00:47:00.001+07:00

Kalau saja kamu tahu
Aku terus selalu disini

Being A Woman

2007-02-22T23:46:00.001+07:00

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn't mean you shine any less.

Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped, doesn't stop you from being the best.

Just because no one has come along to share your life, doesn't mean that day isn't coming.

Just because no one has made this race worthwhile, doesn't give you permission to stop running.

Just because no one has realized how much of an awesome woman you are, doesn't mean they can affect your femininity.

Just because no one has come to take the loneliness away, doesn't mean you have to settle for a lower quality.

Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn't mean you have to sink to his or hers.

Just because you deserve the very best there is, doesn't mean that life is always fair.

Just because God is still preparing your king, doesn't mean that you're not already a Queen.

Just because your situation doesn't seem to be progressing right now, doesn't mean you need to change a thing.

Keep shining, keep running, keep hoping, keep praying, keep being exactly what you are already complete......

The Truth About Hugs

2007-02-19T23:06:00.001+07:00

There's no such thing as a bad hug, only good ones and great ones. Because hugs are:

Non-fattening and they don't cause cancer or cavities..
All natural with no preservatives, artificial ingredients or pesticide residue...
Cholesterol-free, naturally sweet, 100% wholesome and they are a completely renewable resource...
Easy to care for, they don't require batteries, tune-ups, or x-rays...
Non-taxable, fully returnable and energy efficient...
Safe in all kinds of weather...
In fact, especially good for cold and rainy days, and
Exceptionally effective in treating problems like bad dreams or Monday blues...

Never wait until tomorrow to hug someone you could hug today. Because when you give one, you get one right back your way!

2 Days Before Val's Day - Love Tips

2007-02-12T02:10:00.001+07:00

Small talk sometimes define as meaningless conversation to fill empty silences. But it can be an opportunity to make a lasting impression with the person you are talking with. Here's to do to make small talks become more interesting:

Avoid the typical conversation such as comments about the weather. Choose interesting topics to you and the person you're talking to.
Make yourself confrontable. People will be more receptive to having a conversation with you if you approach them with a smile and an easy manner.
Be yourself. Reveal who you really are.
Talk about things you know. Don't ever act like you know about something that you don't. It's more embarrassing to be caught in a lie.
Pick a topic based on a current event. But make yourself appear more interesting, not argumentative.
Ask people about their work and hobbies. People love to talk about themselves.

Having a partner not only that you have someone in your life and do fun things together. But when they're feeling down, or depressed, you have to be there for them too. The most important thing is to learn how to be a good listener.

When they want to talk, put everything else out of your mind and be there with them while they are talking.
Listen to what is actually being said and look at them when they are talking to you.
Very often, they won't say exactly what's on their mind straight away. By looking for their emotional tone, voice inflections etc., you will get indicator of what is bothering them and also how it is affecting them.
Remain calm when they are angry. They will lash out at you because you are there. If you get angry back, it will only make things worse.
Affirm and agree with what they say or feeling, but try to avoid drawing comparisons like, "I've been there before." This will bring a break in communication, and also seem like you're invalidating what they're feeling. Try saying something like, "That must be frustrating (or other emotion) for you."
Avoid general statements like, "It will get better" or, "Everything will be okay". It can be taken the wrong way, like they can't find their own solution without your help. Ask them questions that will help them come to a positive conclusion. For example, "What are you going to do?" or, "What do you think will happen?"
Don't make assumptions like, "You're scared" or, "You're worried." Even if they're feeling that way, it isn't your place to tell them so. They will take it as if you're telling them what to feel instead of offering your support. Try asking what they are feeling and why.
Offer your help can make all the difference in the world to them. Just make sure to let them show or tell you how to help them.
Offer your support. Send a card or a letter letting them know you are there for them. Or allow yourself to be a shoulder to cry on.

Simba and Chipmunk's EFCs

2007-01-04T15:54:00.001+07:00

This is the story about Simba and Chipmunk. They've known each other nine months ago, but since then they become best buddy They have a lot in common, so they decided to form some clubs. It only has 2 members. If you want to join, feel free to ask them *wink wink*

Here are Simba and Chipmunk's Executive Fun Clubs:

.JOMBLO CLUB.
Simba and Chipmunk are single, they are still trying to find Mrs. and Mr. Right. What they want is simple actually. Someone who is honest and sincere, and must love them, and accept them for who they are (^.^)

.MOVIE CLUB.
They like to watch movies. Well, who doesn't? But they plan to watch Asia horror movies together, because they are scarrier than Hollywood movies (admit it, zombie and monsters are not scary at all. Hahaha...)

.LIBRAREAM CLUB.
Reading is one of their hobbies. And they like to smell pages of new book. Chipmunk has a dream that one day she wants to have a room full with books at her house, like a personal library. So does Simba (he just following her, I guess. Heehee...). That's why they call it Libraream (library dream)

So far, that's all I can remember. I will add it as soon as it cross my head

Update 9 July 2007: Their clubs are officially closed

Smile :-)

2006-12-26T09:43:00.001+07:00

You are not an outcast. You are not an outsider. You are not nothing of value. You are not an arctic wasteland. You are not unwelcome. You did not abandon her. And you are not alone.

So stop feeling that way. Because you are smart. You are funny. You are honest. You are sweet. You are a kind-hearted person. You are gentle. You are a loving person. You care about people. You are nice. You are sincere. You are a great person. You have friends who always count on you. And you will have family who loves you.

So please do not be sad. Because YOU ARE SOMETHING

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by if you
Smile, through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worth-while if you just smile
Keep on smiling and
Never, never, never stop smile --- r.s.

Happy Mother's Day

2006-12-22T14:20:00.001+07:00

A Mother's love is something that no one can explain
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may,
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away. . .

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems. . .

It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation
A many splendor miracle man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand. . .

Black and Colored

2006-09-24T01:52:00.001+07:00

Today is the 1st day of Ramadan :-)

My friend sent me e-mail about a month ago. I don't like poetry but when I read it, I found that it was a good one. Very true, very straight forward, and also funny. And it made me think...

Sometimes we feel that we are better than the others. Sometimes we feel that we are richer than our neighbors, that we are prettier, smarter, etc. But we never realize that there must be someone who is more better, richer, prettier and smarter than us.

There is no need for being a snob. We are not the best, because there is always someone who has more than we have :-)
Here is what the poem said...

When I born, I Black
When I grow up, I Black
When I cold, I Black
When I go in sun, I Black
When I scared, I Black
When I sick, I Black
And when I die, I still Black...

And you, white fella
When you born, you Pink
When you grow up, you White
When you go in sun, you Red
When you cold, you Blue
When you scared, you Yellow
When you sick, you Green
And when you die, you Gray...

And you calling me Colored ??

SHOP When You DROP

2006-09-07T03:31:00.001+07:00

I once read in the magazine, there were some tips about "How To Beat Boredom". And as far as I can remember (because it was a long time ago hahaha), here are the tips:

Write journal (almost everyday)
Write email to friends you haven't been in contact with for ages (maybe I will)
Invite your friends around or go with them and talk about guys (that's fun, I'm sure)
Clean your bedroom and reorganize your wardrobe (hmmm maybe later. I'm too lazy for that :-p)
Makes some tapes of your favorite music (yup, always do that)
Treat yourself to a beauty treatment (yessss, why not?)
Go shopping (I agree 100%!!)

Well, actually that was what I did this weekend :-)
I was so stressed and depressed, I have tons of problems in my head - some of them have not been solved yet - so I really really need to do one of those tips, and I choose number 7 :-)

So I went to the mall, forget about my problems for a while, enjoyed myself and I bought:

X Limited eau de toilette from Etienne Aigner, and
Blue Paradiso Inferno Body Spray from Benetton

The next day, I bought:

2 pairs of slippers,
The Body Shop's All In One Face Base Refill #4,
2 The Body Shop's lipsticks (Pink Ginger and Beechnut), and
The Body Shop's Leave In Conditioner

And yesterday, I bought:

another 2 pairs of slippers (I nearly bought 4 pairs but better save it for next month)
4 Cds of Ape On The Roof, Electronic Groove, Homogenic, and Overload Romance

Btw, they had sale... I love sale, it's one of my weakness *wink wink*

But I have my own tips to beat boredom, and it always works for me. All I have to do is lie down, relax, turn on my iPod and listen to these songs:

Ordinary Life - Liquido
Pizza Cutter - Letters To Cleo
Electric - Melody Club
Talk To Me Dance With Me - Hot Hot Heat
We're All To Blame - Sum 41
Stockholm Syndrome - Muse
A Modern Way Of Letting Go - Idlewild, and other 'hiphip' musics

And voila!! They all gone :)
(trust me, slow musics will make you feel more bete and bete)

Best BEAUTY Secrets

2006-09-02T16:43:00.001+07:00

Buy a Brown Eyebrow Pencil and use it to shape your brows, line your eyes, and define your lips

Lightly, dust your lips with pressed powder before applying lipstick. It helps make the lipstick last longer

To make your eyelash curler works better, heat it with blow-dryer for a couple of seconds ~ but no more than five ~ before using it

Use paintbrushes from an art supply store instead of makeup brushes. They're usually of good quality and cheaper. But the brushes must be very soft

For extra shiny hair, mix two eggs with some mayonnaise, then apply the mixture to wet hair and cover it with plastic wrap. Wait for ten minutes, then rinse and wash as usual

To help cover a zit, dab the spot with a matte white eyeshadow, then dust it with a finishing powder. It will take away some of the rednes

Now You Are Ready To Go ;)

This One or That One?

2006-08-25T04:33:00.001+07:00

I was just thinking... why are we never satisfied with what we have? Me for example. If I can choose, maybe I will choose a perfect one, the best one. But nothing is perfect, no one is perfect. Every person is different, and that what makes them special.

I sometimes heard my friends talked about it when they had to choose which one is best for them.

"This guy is so nice, he can understand me, always think about me, cares about me and my family, always asks how are they doing, always be by my side every time I need someone to talk to, I can count on him, etc. But......"

"While that guy, he is also nice, always fun to be with, he has great character, he always brighten my day, he always makes me laugh, no one ever see me like he does, he makes me feel safe, etc. But......"

There's always a 'but'. Why can't they see This One and That One as a different person, who has different personalities, who has different good and bad side? Why can't they accept someone they care about for who they are?

I try not to compare one person with the other. Because I don't want being compared with other person either. That is not right, that is not fair. But the bad thing is, I will be very 'bete' when I find out he does/say something that makes me 'bete'. And when I start to like a guy, I tend to be 'parno' (hahaha...). And my head is full of 'what if'. I'm just afraid I will 'ilfeel' for him :-(

At least it always good to know that there is someone who cares about you so much :-)

Cause every day and every night,
I just wanna hold him tight
And make sure that everything's stays right
And every day and every night,
to dream of him is my delight
And know that he'll stay with me all the way -- Mocca

Wew, what's wrong with me tonight??

Somewhere My Baby Waits For Me

2006-08-19T11:08:00.001+07:00

My life is lonely now but I have no doubt
Someday I'll meet that someone I dreamed about
He may live around the block or far across the sea
Somewhere my baby waits for me

The moment that I see him my heart will know
Then I won't wait to tell him I love him so
He'll be mine to have and hold for whole eternity
Somewhere my baby waits for me

When I see lovers passing I don't feel blue
I know the things they're feeling I'll be feeling too
I don't know where I'll meet him, I don't know when
I only know that someday my search will end
One fine day I'll turn around and there he will be
Somewhere my baby waits for me

~~* Kyaaa... that is so me... :) *~~

I MISS YOU vs I HATE YOU

2006-07-15T07:19:00.001+07:00

I miss you because we used to talk for hours
I miss you because you always mad at me every time we talk, but you forgive me every time I say "I'm sorry"
I miss you because you sent me lots of flowers even though you know that I don't like flowers
I miss you because you always there for me every time I need you
I miss you because you always encourage me when I'm sad
I miss you because you prayed for mom everyday when she was sick
I miss you because you sent me cards 3 days before my birthday... but you missed my birthday cause you had to work :p
I miss you because you always mad every time I tease you
I miss you because you always listen to my complaint
I miss you because you always trust me
I miss you because you always tell me a story when I'm in a bad mood

I hate you because you always try to change me
I hate you because every time we argue about something, you always ended the conversation by saying "As you like"
I hate you because you don't care about yourself
I hate you because you're so sensitive
I hate you because you always feel that you're unlucky. Just listen to the song "Lucky Man" and you will feel better :)
I hate you because you work too hard, forget to eat, and get sick
I hate you because you're a workaholic

I miss you more than I hate you... Happy Birthday, Semsem...
