Have you ever miss that special feelings that a place gives you? Have you ever had that special feeling that a certain song gives you? Have you ever had that rush of feelings that came to you when you hear that particular song? Have you ever stop and admire the scene that is just right before you? Have you ever had that sense of satisfaction whenever you had achieve your goal? Have you ever felt truly happy in a moment? Have you ever eaten the food cooked by your loved ones? Have you ever looked back and be able to laugh about what happened? Have you ever had someone tell you that you looked beautiful? Inside and out? Have you ever felt like you belong? Have you ever felt needed? Have you ever felt so angry that you feel that you just wanna hit something? Have you ever felt appreciated? Have you ever had that gush of adrenaline pumping through your veins after a nice run? Have you ever feel like crying but there are no tears? ...

Just read this article and found out that Brunei has been ranked #5 as the world's richest countries. For those that are born in Brunei or living in Brunei for that matter, we are truly blessed. So don't complain that much and count our blessings in that we do not have to worry when will the next meal be coming or do we have enough money to pay the rent. Cheers!!! Live everyday happily.

The truth is that relationships end. That is why whenever someone change their relationship status in facebook, I always, always cringe for them. I dunno for some. But for me the status of my relationship is very private. If for any reasons, my relationship status change, I don't think that I'll make an update in facebook (especially facebook) It just feels all wrong. I see some of my "friends' updating their relationship status and flaunts their new found relationships only to change their status to single again after a few short weeks. And not to mention that they will be posting anything that is so emo as their status. To me, its like breaking up in public. It truly is (depending on how many friends you added on fb). Then, in order to wipe your memory clean of this so called jerk, you have to delete him from your photo albums published. Its a lot of work. So sometimes, wont it be a wiser thing to do is to keep your relationship quiet when its at the beginning? Savor...

I got this quote from here . "Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing" (Proverbs 12:18; NIV) This is so true. Sometimes we are too quick with unkind words and too stingy with our compliments.

When everything is going smooth, no one will ever find out who their real friends are. Its only when you are down and needs something that all these 'friends' are no where to be found. How do you deal with these people? Sure, you will feel extreme disappointment. Maybe tinged with sadness as well. But then live goes one and the only thing that you can do for yourself is open your eyes to these so called friends and make no mistakes in thinking that they will be there when you are down. Moral of the story? Do not place your happiness in the hands of others. Do what makes you happy and not do what makes others happy. That is the favour you can do for yourself.

Wines wines wines.....that is all that is in my head. Why? Coz my CPA 113 case study is about the wine industry. Trying to prepare all the necessary preparations. I really really really hope that whatever that I had prepared are sufficient. Yeah yeah.....I should be studying but I am taking a short break. These few days (I am on leave), I have been on the fb so much (during my breaks la). Watching videos, looking at photos, commenting on people's status. (its so much fun when something is forbidden) I also played fb games......all these activities with Bi constantly harping at me to study and not waste time. He told me that he doesn't understand why I cant do all these after the exam. Like I said, things are more fun if its near exam time. hehehe....... Anyway, there is another thought on my mind (nothing to do with my exam but I really wanna say here that I hope that I will pass this paper). You know how as humans, we all like to compare. Everything also wanna compare. Lifesty...

I am supposed to be studying...taking a quick break to blog about what is on my mind now. Since I am studying, I will normally take quick breaks surfing fb. I came across a number of things lately. I found out that I have this friend (whom I am not very close and is more than a decade older than I am) is recently divorced. She has been married for 20 odd years. It saddens one to see such a long marriage break down and results in a divorce. Then I saw another friend who just ROMed a few days ago (and again a friend whom I am not very close to) So a thought crossed my little mind. There are a lot of couples who rushed into marriage. These are the couples who will have the toughest time coz they have to adjust to marriage life and its not all that sweet. Marriage is a full time job where you have to constantly work at it so that the marriage will be successful. Marriage is not all about those big wedding dinner, gorgeous photo shoots, flowers and whatnot. Its about a union between 2 famil...

Sometimes you wonder, what is it to be human? These emotions are so over whelming sometimes. Love, hate, pain, happiness, sorrow, envy, jealousy, anger, there are so many types of emotions and more often than not, we let emotions control or rather let it be the deciding point of our actions. But also more often than not, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (dunno said by who liaw) and thats not the only thing. What follows your every action are a string of events, just like when you throw a stone into the water, there is a rippling effect. So whenever anyone makes any decisions, it should be well thought out. Don't let your heart rules you all the time. Don't do or say anything that you might regret.

Disclaimer: Please do not read this post if you are easily offended. At anytime that you feel discomfort, you can move your cursor to that little X over at the top right hand corner and click on it. Kids (teens or whatever) these days ah, sigh, they are ..... (I call them kids coz they are younger than I am) *I am not that old, ok?* What is this world turning into? Everything is so messed up. If they are our so called next generation ho, then we all are so screwed. (Pardon my language) Whenever I go to the shopping malls, I will see a few genres. Goth, kawaii, rappers wanna be, queen bees, its like the shopping malls have turned into a huge high school! And the kids....hai!!!!!! Last week I went to the cinema looking forward to watching Transformer 2 and the night was marred by a few teenagers who are gangster wanna be. I feel like smacking them and ask them to go home and study hard and be someone who might actually be useful to the society instead of trying to be a bad ass. (and even...

Just a quick post coz I have to finish off those slides for the lecture tomorrow. These days there are a lot of things that are going through my mind. I really dislike a person. Not gonna name that person. But I find that person really pretentious. That was the impression that person gave me and that is the attitude that I have been receiving all these while. So yeah, not gonna change my mind about that person. Call me a stupid and stubborn person but no, I am not gonna budge in my opinion until I am proven wrong. I really hate lies and rumours, especially those that involves me. I wonder how come there are some people who can call everyone else pretty gals or handsome guys. Practically everyone le. That is so fake as well. How come there are people in this world who likes to portray that they are very poor and so pitiful? Sigh! I really hate it when anyone else mention that that so and so is so kelian (pitiful). Come one, I been through the exact same situation and I don't find my...

I suddenly thought of something just now. Its something from my memories. Its just a memory but it shows that we all have come a long way and my my my, did we all change. I recalled that me and one of my good childhood friend followed my mom to a new opening of a boutique in KB. I saw a really pretty necklace and thought that the price is B$ 6.90 and remembered that I thought that it was a reasonable price. But the actual price was B$ 16.90. Back then B$16.90 seems a lot of money and I actually felt guilty that my mom actually bought it for me. How times have change. I also recall that back in my first year in uni, Bi was the only who had a car albeit the car was a bit old but it is a car nonetheless. His car was a really old Honda. It only has a radio which is kinda sucky as most of the time it can only receive static (we used to joke that it can receive a station call static channel) Not only that, the air conditioning is more like hot con rather than air con coz it blows hot air. ha...

Sometimes I really think that qualifications is secondary to work attitude, knowledge and experience. If I am a boss and wanna hire people, the most important factor that I am looking for is work attitude. Anything can be taught and learnt. But working attitude, that is something that is ingrained. Something like a leopard cannot change its spots. As long as one is willing to learn, then I won't have a problem with it. Some people, as far as I know, are show offs. They like to say whatever qualifications they possess. Either a degree, master, professional bodies, phd, etc. I know that its not easy to obtain that qualification. I totally understand the efforts that one has to put in. The thing is that if one claimed that they have such qualifications (or that they really do have such qualifications) but somehow, the knowledge that they should have doesn't show up. Why is that? Like for instance, (I'll give accounting examples since I am from Acct & Finance background), c...

Do you believe in luck? Well, I do. I have been quite lucky most of the time. But that doesn't mean that I just sit there and good fortune just smiled at me. I do work hard for what I want too. Some people will just sit there and curse everyone and everything for the things that happened to him or her. I just want people to know that successful people don't just sit there and wait for luck to come. If you don't't like where you are right now, you will have to do something about it yourself. No one will be able to help you if you don't even want to help yourself. Sometimes, its also a matter of perspective. Always think positive. Whenever I am down and wonder why do these things happen to me. I try to think on the positive side. Think positive!!!!

I have been contemplating whether I should post this up or not. I wont say what started this. But one thing that I really hate is that people saying that I cheat whoever's money. Or that I depend on my bf financially. For one thing is that I don't cheat people's money. Its against my principles and the same thing goes for people who wanna cheat my money. I'll bite your head off (literally)........ Even when I am really desperate for money (let's hope I'll never see that day), I will NOT cheat anyone's money. Nor do I even have the intention to cheat anyone's money. Another issue is that i DO NOT and AM NOT financially dependant on my bf. I can afford my lifestyle as it is fairly simple (except for the odd LV bag that I am obsessed with). If I don't have the money (when i say money.....I mean CASH, cold hard CASH), then I simply don't buy whatever issit that I wanna buy. Whatever gifts that my bf bought for me, that is his choice. Yeah....its true...

I read this in my cousin's notes on Facebook. "A true and faithful friend is one who will tell you the truth even when it wounds or hurts you, but an enemy will only tell you what you want to hear." I find that phrase so true. So when a friend tells you what you don't wanna hear, try to open your heart and listen. Coz its really for your own good. There is not one friend who would wanna see you unhappy or wanna hurt you (unless they are your enemy) Beware of those who only sweet talk you!!!!

This post is all about me ranting, so leave if you don't wanna see me rant. Someone really pissed me off with their thoughtlessness on Tuesday. See, I was happily minding my own business driving home on Tuesday. So I was parking my car, still feeling ok. I saw a silver Vios parking at the garage (my landlord punya parking space ok?) so I politely asked the 2 little gals (ok la not that little la, old enough to drive liaw at the very leat) who are they looking for. They replied me saying that they are looking for one of the gals who recently moved into the house. So I told them politely "I suggest that you move your car coz that is where the landlord normally park". Walau!!!!! Know what they answered me? "But Miss X (my very the new housemate) told me to park here (pointing to where I just happily parked my car) and since you parked there already where do you suggest I park my car?" and this is being said in not so polite a voice. You say la.......being kind hear...

Before I write anything that is going on in my life, I would like to offer my condolences to the earthquake in China. The pictures and the news are heart wrenching. I would also like to offer any type of help. Be it financially or emotionally. My prayers and thoughts are with those who are injured and those who have lost someone and not forgetting those who are still waiting for news of their family or friends. When disasters like this happens, I am always grateful. Grateful that I am in a peaceful country where the worst weather is strong winds and heavy rains. Grateful that my family and friends are safe. Grateful that I have a job. Grateful that I have my health. Grateful that the crime rates are quite low. Grateful that I am still here. Sometimes we get reminders. Reminders that makes us realize that we are losing sight of what is the most important things to us. We are always so busy rushing here and there that often that we don't even have the time to think what is our dreams...

That is the question that DJ Izan was asking on her early morning show. Would you date someone who is better looking than you are? I called in and gave my opinion. I most definitely would. I mean who wouldn't right? It is a big boost for your confidence. To tell the truth, my bf is definitely better looking than I am. (I know that a lot of my friends would protest to this but hey, its the truth) It shows that look is not everything (its counts for something but not everything). It takes great courage on both side. It comes from experience. On my side, I have to deal with a lot of gossips behind my back (thank you my friends who stood by my side, giving me reassurances when I needed them). Some people can really say the ugliest things. I will never forget what this one guy friend of my bf said. He said " That fei hai (fat pussy) is your gf? You eyes got shit issit?" It hurts. Truly it hurts. I don't even know this guy, how can he pass such judgements? On his side, he a...

Heard on the radio that a hawker found the remains of a baby boy in a plastic bag with the umbilical cord and placenta still attached. How could anyone be so cruel? Does it not bother them? How can they sleep at night knowing that they just killed an innocent baby? If you have any reasons that you cannot keep your baby, at least give the baby up for adoption. Give you baby a chance at life. They did not make any mistakes. They are innocent. There are many couples who remain childless so why not give them a chance to be good parents? Sigh!!!! The things that people do. Whenever you think that you have no other choice, there is always, ALWAYS a better way than dumping your baby into the rubbish bin. The reasons why we are not animals becoz we have compassion and love. That is what separates us from other species. So if you really are human, then act like one.

I watched P2 recently. The plot is that the lead actress, Angela worked late into the night on Christmas eve. When she tried to leave, her car (in the basement level 2, thus P2) just wont start. There was this creepy car park attendant who offered her help and even a little Christmas dinner, which Angela declined. How was Angela to know that Thomas, the car park attendant, was not giving her an option to reject his offer of the small Christmas dinner. Did I mention that the whole building was locked down? So there is no escape. In short, the whole story is about how Thomas chase after Angela all over the basement car park. Lessons learn from the P2. Lesson no. 1 Don't work late. It doesn't pay to work late. It almost got Angela killed. Yeah, this reminds me....I better not work so late anymore. Its kinda scary to be alone in the office. Every weird creaking sound will trigger alarm bells in my head. Lesson no. 2 Don't be so stupid and walk to the basement car park alone, es...
