Getting to know you...

Sometimes I just wished that you can record every significant episodes of your life and just popped it into the VCR (for the old skool ppl) or DVD player and just hit the play button every time you meet someone new. That way, you don't need to go through the whole "I used to do this and that when I was..." mumbo-jumbo and just fast forward everything into the present day. Wouldn't that be great?

Or would that defeat the purpose of the whole 'getting to know you' process?

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

When you know that you just don't know...

I don't know why that person is avoiding me. Did I do something wrong? Did I accidentally said something to hurt that person's feeling? That person used to tell me everything. However, now I will only hear from that person when that person needs something from me... It sucks, but I guess that's just the way it is...


I don't know why I feel this way when there's no clear indication of the future. There are still doubts about where we are heading. In fact, I don't even know if we are gonna head that way. Will there be a future? Only time will tell...


I don't know what to do anymore.
Should I fly?
Should I cry?
Should I lie?
Or should I jump with joy?

binx: do you know?

Scrabble @ Starbucks

We were stuck in Starbucks for hours, last Sunday, while waiting to finish reformatting mom's hard disc drive. After the 3rd hour, we didn't know what else to do to entertain ourselves, until I saw the box of Scrabble on the counter.

So Scrabble we played!

2 hours and 2 cups of latte later, with the help of Dictionary.com, I emerged as the winner.. woohooo...! (I wouldn't have mentioned it if I didn't win laaa kan... hehehe...)

Anyone else up for a game?

Calvin and Hobbes are playing Scrabble.

Calvin: Ha! I've got a great word and it's on a Double word score box!
Hobbes: ZQFMGB isn't a word! It doesn't even have a vowel!
Calvin: It is so a word! It's a worm found in New Guinea! Everyone knows that!




binx: me likey!

If I had a million dollars...

*berangan mode: ON

... I would

1) give half of it to Mom (for everything that she had done to pull us through all these years)
2) pay off all my debts
3) buy that expensive teak four-poster bed that I've always wanted
4) go on a shopping spree (ambik semua... ambik...!)
5) donate some to charity
6) make sure I invest/save some to ensure continuous cash supply
7) treat all of you to a free round of frapuchinos
8) buy a full DSLR camera.. (sweet....)

Nak buat apa lagi ek...?


What would you do if you have a million dollars?

My prayers goes out to those in East Malaysia that are facing the Tsunami threat due to the earthquake that had erupted in Indonesia....

"Hari ini hari bodoh saya, incik"

Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed... OR maybe it's just an off day for me...

But to turn into a clearly visible dead end (more of like a dead tunnel) while trying to exit the parking is just BAD....! Memang kena gelak teruk lar this morning... And that happened directly AFTER I had my morning coffee... so I can't use the excuse of not getting my caffeine fix yet for the day.

Plus I just can't focus on anything today.... arrggghhh...!

How am I suppose to teach those lil kids English later?
