This Year's Love Had Better Last





This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
This years love had better last

Cause whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This years love had better last
(repeat til end)




Artist: David Gray
Album: White Ladder





I love this song... It illustrates how it is very hard for someone who was hurt before to open up to love once again. And the way David Gray sang it gives it an added emotion and it really touches the soul of the person who listens to it.

I am not condemning the 'happily ever after' concept. However, after going through a rough 8 years growing up in a broken family and also reading through the news of the growing number of divorce rates, I can't help to wonder if love is an absolute thing that a person should risk his/her life for?

Tired feet...





My feet have been killing me for the past few weeks. I have been experiencing foot cramps, especially when it gets cold and also while driving. And it is indeed a very painful ordeal. I think that all this might be due to all the running around in high heels that I have been doing during the crazy hectic period at work while I was still in Company X (well.. I still have to look good while doing the job, rite? hehehe).


Oh... I am so in need for a really good foot massage...





Can anyone recommend me a good foot reflexology place?



binx: ouwch!

Time Out!





Last Saturday, we decided to exchange our trendy clothes and laptops for a pair of purple F.O.S's tops each and went hunting.

It was my elder sis's Alumi's Golden Jubilee celebration, and they have decided to organise a treasure hunt event. For the fun of it all four of us, including Mom, decided that it would be fun to try it out. Being virgin hunters, we didn't know what to expect out of it. After the briefing given by the organiser, we thought that it could not be THAT bad... and really thought that we could have a chance at winning.

We were flagged off at 9.52 a.m. from the Pusat Sains Negara in Bukit Kiara. The first leg of the hunt's route was easy, since it was just around the Damansara area, which we were very familiar with. Despite running over one trap hole in the middle of the road and almost hitting a few cars, while concentrating on solving the puzzle, my car faced no serious injury and was smooth sailing all the way.

However, we found the questions to be a little bit on the tough side. Only the first few questions were straight forward. The rest of it were really testing our not-so-creative brains. The best that we can do was just tembak the best answer that we could think of and justify it just to make ourselves feel good. One thing for sure, we surely had a lot of hard belly laughs while doing it...

After hi-five'ing and congratulating each other for solving each puzzle, we made our way back to the finish line. And to our surprise, we were to first team to arrive, almost an hour ahead of the rest of other teams. Tuh pun we all sempat lagi made a pit stop at a drive-through McDonalds to get a quick burger fix.

Was it a good sign that we have arrived early? No, I didn't think so... If it were Amazing Race, yeah it would have been a good sign. And my prediction came through when they revealed the answers to all the questions. Oh my... we were very far off... hehehehe.. We only got 14 out of 35 questions correct. But we sure do get alot of laughs out of it.

So the result was....

The Purple Puff Girls didn't win anything that day... but we came home with smiles on our faces.

It's HUGE...!



*not the real picture


Guy: Boss.. nasi goreng apa ada?
Tauke: You mau nasi goreng apa?
Guy: Apa you recommend?
Tauke: Well.. Nasi goreng cina, black pepper chicken, mushroom, pattaya...
Guy: Itu 4 jenis nasi goreng ka?
Tauke: Hey.. mana ada.. 1 la..
Guy: Huh?


Imagine my shock when I heard that... My god! If you think that it is one helluva nasi goreng, just wait till you see the nasi goreng itself.. It's HUGE! They need 2 polystyrene in order to tapau it up.

If you haven't had anything to eat for 3 days (and have a huge tummy space), and crave for good western/local food, I suggest you go to William's in Taman Mayang (behind Lim Kok Wing College), where their food comes in gigantic portions. Yet, at a very reasonable price. Even the drinks comes in giant-size mugs.. Memang terkencing laa nak habis kan sengsorang.

One note of advice: always ask William to recommend a meal.. He comes up with lots of amazingly delicious meals.

Pipi... oh pipi...






Pipi.. oh pipi..
Mengapa engkau tembam?
Macam mana aku tak tembam..
Tuan makan banyak..
Tuan makan banyak..

Pipi.. oh pipi..
Mengapa tuan engkau makan banyak?
Macam mana dia tak makan..
Hati dia senang..
Hati dia senang..

Pipi oh pipi..
Mengapa hati dia senang?
Macam mana dia tak senang..
Problem semua settle..
Problem semua settle..



Yeah... my pipi now makin tembam... That's one thing about me.. Whenever I am happy and start to eat alot, the evidence will be visible right smack on the face. It doesn't go to any other part of my body though..

So, anyone up for a makan-makan session with me?



binx: help...!

Embracing Freedom...






No more Beast...

No more Zorro...

No more cashflows...

No more Group consolidations...



I have finally made it to this day... The day I become an ex-employee of company X. Though it was indeed sad to part with those that were close to me, I feel somehow relieved as I walked out of the department's door for the last time, friday evening.


There was no turning back...


So... this is it.


I will be embarking on a new journey.


A journey to the unknown...




binx: yahoooo....!
