HAHA 2012 - Hilariously Awesome Hottest Award

On Break

I'm officially on break since forever. And what do I do? Waste time. Didn't even help my Mama with house chores TT___TT SO LAZY! I'M A TERMINAL COUCH POTATO!!!

Anyway, I'm really addicted to these songs this past few days:

I have my love-hate moments with Wonder Girls. I love lots of their songs off their albums, but not most of their title tracks. Girlfriend is such a good song. And this Wonder Love really reminds me of Christmas. While I don't celebrate Christmas, I love the feelings the song conveys. Simple love. I love it. Btw, WG followed me on twitter, that really made my day (such a kpoper, that I am LOL!).

2PM, as most probably know by now, is my only love from kpop ^^ Been listening to them since 2009 and these days, most of the members are venturing into composing their own songs. By now, 4 already released their self-composed songs, via digital release, concerts, albums, singles, OSTs and songs for other artists. 

Lee Junho (I call him my Ho Bitch or Nuneo ;p) and Kim Minjun (aka Jun.K or formerly known as Kim Junsu) have released lots of songs (I think I'll make a post of 2PM's self-composition later) while Nichkhun Horvejkul and Ok Taecyeon are just releasing their songs. Well, Khun is the newbie here, since Taec already shared 3 of his songs in their concerts. 

I have to say, I really love Khun's song 'Let It Rain'. The lyrics are simple yet so meaningful. And in FREAKING ENGLISH! So, it's one of the rare times I can actually understand the song without having to wait for translation. 

Taec's song, the one I am sharing up there, is just awesome. The beat. The lyrics. I especially love the part when he sang, 'Your class, down below. 2PM, up in the sky'. Way to go Taec! Tell them what it's like ^^

My Birthday Dinner With Ms. Princess

It was my birthday, my 22nd birthday, a few days ago and my BFF Ms. Princess (BFF is the new word of the day, it's disgusting, but it's easier to type ;p) brought me to the place of my choosing, so naturally, I'd choose Levain, a new place I just discovered thanks to dear Rini. It's a really nice place tucked in a middle of hustle and bustle of KL city.

Anyway, we shared some desserts and I had a really superb Japanese chicken curry rice. As usual, I asked for extra hot and man, do they redefined the word spicy there. So many little bits of birds-eyed chillis to get my eyes crossed. Ms. Princess got the special menu dish called....Wait, don't exactly remember but it was a dish of aglio-olio pasta, wedges and lamb chop. The lamb chop looked pretty chewy to me, but alas, I didn't taste it since I'm allergic to food other than vegetables, seafood, chicken and occasional beef.

The ambiance of the place is pretty cosy and can be romantic at the corners with the lights down low and comfy sofas. We sat smacked in the middle of the place (the air-conditioned area since I am also allergic to fresh air), so hash that romantic setting. It was fun, we had a nice talk and the food is plentiful and not as pricey as one would expect from such a nice place as this. The staff is also cheerful and nice. Not to mention, the other facilities like tissues, fork & spoon, condiments and cold drinking water are never in short supply here.

My only rant would go to the parking fee. We didn't even parked at the allotted parking space of Levain's (parked somewhere else) and the stupid idiot parking attendants charged us RM5. What the hell? Unless it's Levain's or you parked our car, why should we pay you idiots?

Strawberry.....Well my memory fails me. It's a strawberry dessert made of light sponge cake, whipped cream and strawberry coulis.

Japanese chicken curry rice. Yum yum!

Beryl's chocolate truffle cake. It's a slice of heaven.

What's New, Or, Not So-New....

It's been literally months since I've written here. My life has taken to a new direction since late 2010, and I'm thanking Oh Lord Allah SWT for giving me so many chances in life to start anew. Anyway, these days, my life has taken a new pattern. School, family time, friends time and internet time, all separated into neat little boxes of it's own.

80-90% of my time is spent on school. Now, there may be lots of interesting things happening in school, but I'll just keep that in my box of memories for now ^^ Every once in a while, when my pockets are a bit fuller, I'll go out with friends, usually the usual suspect, my bestie Ms. Princess. Sometimes with Shima and a few with others like Marilyn and Aravind.

My life is boring to some, but I really love it these days. Other than my real life, I am a full fledged fan of 2PM, a Korean boyband. Well, unless someone miss the notice somewhere, this is not exactly new. That said, I am sharing a random photo above since I love it. The purse is new by the way. I shared it with little sister B.

It's The Weekend...

Which means, I have free time to do certain things I don't have the opportunity to do during weekdays. As usual, I'll share the things I've to do and have done:

1. Buy a printer with cheaper ink. It's giving me a huge headache right now, so I'm hoping for the best and it'll work miraculously when I need to print off my school stuff. It's Epson Stylus TX121 by the way. Just in case you want to buy a similar model that can give you a permanent headache. DON'T BUY AN EPSON PRINTER PEOPLE! NEVER!
2. Bought a wireless mouse, since I've been without a faithful mouse since forever. It's white and pink and small = cute.
3. Study for Monday assessment. This time around, I really actually need to study. Really.
4. Think of ways to get the money to pay for the printer and ink -_- 
5. Print notes for Monday.
6. Hand wash clothes that I've soaked for almost 2 weeks now -_-
7. Some shopping for daily necessity. This time the things I need to buy are real necessity.
8. Clean up the mess I made when I got the printer.

Okay, 8 items are enough for this weekend. I need my beauty sleep too >_<

And my weekend song:

Have a mellow weekend peeps!

Mama's Slice Of Heaven

My Mama loves her garden. Her garden and her mini-garden are like her little toddlers, to be petted, coaxed and spoiled every day. She cares for them, talks to them, nourishes them and tends them well. How I'd envy Mama's garden if she doesn't treat us all better :)

Mama's babies are precious. I don't really know their names, so I'll just introduce them graphically and sharing their beauteous charms.

One Drop Of Happiness A Day

Daily dose of happiness!

Before I forgot, I have to share this. I told Mama a few days ago (was it just yesterday?) that we have to focus on happiness and try to disregard the sadness and depressive news. I've said, 'Find one thing to be happy about daily, then your days and nights will fill with happiness'.

I truly believe this!

I just got one super happy news today. I don't want to spoil it, so I'll share it later when everything is 'done'. 

Songs Of The Day

I've always loved R&B. It's first and foremost is my first love. Will forever be my first love when it comes to music. It has been forever since I've fallen instantaneously in love with a song since these 2:

Dear Friends

I'm young. Okay, relatively. I've seen things that I hope make me learn more of life and human nature. One thing I've never been since I was 10 is naive. I don't believe in inherent good nature of people. I don't believe in instant trust. I don't believe in people being nice to you just because.

Life doesn't work that way. I know, there are good people out there. I believe a lot of the people I trust (a short list that it is) are good people. They have their good side, and their bad side. Just like me. However, I also believe that when money is concern, nothing good will come out of it.

This is my advice for the day for all of you out there:

When it comes to money, even the most loving sister or brother can stab you in the back. So, be careful. Try to not factor in money in any relationship, yes even with your immediate family. I know I am owing a lot to my family, I try my best to work hard and become who I'm supposed to become and pay it all back, so that we can be on equal ground again. Right now, when it comes to money, someone will always feel inferior to another. There lies the feeling of inferiority, the feeling that you owe someone, thus you must always agree to whatever they want you to do and feelings of unworthiness.

Like I said, money makes the world go round. No one can totally exist without it. It is also the root cause of many family squabbles. So ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to family, try to keep money away from any relationships. That includes business. Especially business. Shit happens. Money, business and family are totally not compatible with each other. 

Song Of The Day - No Goodbyes

This song is dedicated to all of my good friends out there whom I haven't talked to in a long while. I miss you guys! I'm sorry for being such a bad friend....

Offensive

One part of me that I really hate is my anger. I have anger management problem. Whenever I'm presented with a problem, especially if it's family related, my first reaction is anger. I'll be at my confrontational best and I'll go directly into the offensive instead of defensive. 

This part of my personality, I know it since a long time ago. I'm short-tempered and I have a I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude. I guess that's what makes me the worst sort of person to confide in, since I'll not be rational in any given situation, and will probably make things a lot worse than it already is (or probably is).

I don't really know whether I should fix this problem, or even how to fix it. In a lot of cases, anger works for me personally, as a form of self-protection. The angrier I get, the less I get depressed of harsh realities of life. So, it's really hard to let go of it now, when I really don't need it. Anger serves its purpose to protect me before, now it's turning me into someone I don't even like. I guess life is not always about kittens and roses.

Hello

Hello world.

I miss you.

A Woman

In my years of learning about human nature, I've met a lot of types of women. One type I particularly never understand is husband-stealing women. Well, I do understand their motivations, but I don't understand them in general. While I've never say it's only one party to be blamed (the woman), I will focus on the women since men is easier to understand. Men need food, money and women, not in that order.

While women, especially husband-stealing women, desire another person's spouse because, he may be the epitome of:

• stability (married with a wife, kids, house, car, basically the whole shebang)
• trophy (hey, I'm much more attractive than the first wife since I can nab him, no problem!)
• wealth (don't care about other factors, as long as he got money to spare)
• desperation (no possible-husband-to-be in the horizon, so may as well grab whomever in hand)

I have a neighbour, Aunty Z. She's an attractive woman in her 40s-50s (I have no damned idea). She has a high powered job with high pay. She has 2 children between 15 to early 20s. Her first husband was someone else's husband (in other words, she is the second wife and you do know a Muslim man can marry up to 4 wives, like spare tires, right?). The first husband was considerably older with children and he passed away years ago (I think about 4-5 years now).

Now, this money-grabbing bitch is onto her second one. Also another woman's husband with kids. The thing is, both husbands are considerably well-off. In other words, rich. So that's the common denominator. This bitch is marrying the husband in Indonesia to avoid the nitty-gritty of marriage ceremonial law in Malaysia. And to avoid the first wife. 

And my advice to my Mama ever since eons ago, avoid this kind of husband-stealing bitch like a plague. Nothing good will ever come to this type of friendship. And knowing Aunty Z's personality (stuck up, people-user, selfish, money-grabbing, skinflint, judgmental, secretive, emotionless), I'd say ALL WOMEN IN THE WORLD, PLEASE AVOID THIS KIND OF WOMEN. Did I forgot a horrible mother and daughter? Yes, add those 2 great qualities to the mix of horrible personality please.

Life is about balance. You give what you take and some acts are for free. One rule I always adhere is never hurt another person if you never wanted to be hurt the same way. I, for one, will never want to experience the feeling of betrayal and hurt by someone I've built my life with, someone I've built a family with, someone I've give my all to and some one I've trusted for so long. So, I'll never ever (well, I try) steal another person's property (aka the husband).

So women all around the world. Learn this. One thing a woman should never do is hurt another woman. Learn that married means taken for life. Learn that married means prohibited. 

P/S: I also believe in comeuppance. One day Aunty Z will reap what she sow. 

Wake Up With A Smile

Or not. This is almost impossible to achieve. At least for me. I've never been a morning person. I'm silent at best in the morning. I'm cranky and short at my worst. Wait, there are worst things that I've done as soon as I wake up
 -_-

Anyway, morning is never my best time and I rarely wake up early if I can help it. Which is sad, birds and worms and all that. The weird thing is, I do my assignments and studying in the morning. I usually will sleep early at 10ish and wake up at 4 to 5am to study or do my assignments since my brain is always shot after my last class in the evening. I can almost never do my studying at night when I'm always tired and distracted.

That said, I think who ever can wake up with a smile deserves a punch, er, a medal from me. Please continue to be a cheerful soul since one (moi) is already sold to the devil a long time ago when it comes to mornings and happiness.

Lego Land & Hello Kitty Land

I just found out about Lego Land and Hello Kitty Land which are opening in late this year or next year in Johor. My life is now complete. Isn't life just beautiful?

Illuminating

After reading more than 4 textbooks worth of diarrhea chapters, I am more than well aware of stool quality and frequency. It's mind-boggling. Thank you very much.

Oh the other hand, my concentration is shot and I am now browsing for useless information online. Information I found:

• I watched the teaser of SNSD's Time Machine -_- I got nothing to say other than - Kids, it's not shot in a box! Hurray!
• I watched 2AM's new MV. First, the immobile girl in the closet, it's creepy. Second, an old man who can erase memories from your stuff, cool even though it's too heart-wrenching. Third, Jinwoon is hot (yes, this ahjumma can still appreciate young hot guys). Fourth, it's a beautiful song that fits my holy trinity - sad, sad, sad. Fifth, paper effect, super-impressive!
• I chatted with people on forums. Quoting Marilyn, 'Why are you like that?', with a sorrowful expression. I think she pitied me for my lack of social life. 

Hello, Hello!

Hello,

Yes, I'm fine. Thank you very much for asking.

Yes, it's been months. Life has a way of getting in your way, isn't it.

Yes, I'm still the irrepressible irresponsible Harley that I am.

Yes, I am still alive, thank you.

Yes, I still hate icing on a cake. Scratch that, icing on anything. It gives me the hieber jiebers.

Why am I talking about icing? Because I just had a close contact with the said item, just a few hours ago.

Never understood why people love it.

Hello 2012!

I haven't blogged in a long ass while, so I'd like to clear a few things before I move on:

1. WELCOME 2012!!! New year, well, apart from changing the number, I don't feel any different. Just saying this for those who actually celebrate new year :P
2. I'm supremely busy with the new block so I am lack of sleep, lack of time and lack of patience.
3. And not to be forgotten, lack of life.
4. I'd like to share my favourite songs. Just because.

M-flo loves Yoshika - Let Go

It's one of my all time favourite :)

Utada Hikaru - Automatic

Another all-time favourite.

2PM - Again & Again

This is necessary.
