Valentine's Day in Singapore

  Apparently my cousin and I are gonna spend our Valentine's day together in Singapore. We've booked our flight tickets and now waiting for the ground package confirmation. We both are single girls, so crying and bitching with jealousy about cuddling couples on Valentine's day are to be expected. 
  Hmm..what a sad sight with both us girls having a candlelight dinner together.. I wish I know of any single girls gathering /party on Valentine's Day, that would be totally awesome!
  Oh and I forgot to mention that we've prepared our itinerary. We gonna be in Singapore from 12-15 February. We gonna spend the whole day at Universal Studios on the 13th and the next day we gonna spend the whole day at Singapore Zoo. What a great idea of celebrating Valentine's. Hopefully we'll not get emotional over the zoo residents' show of affection to each other. ;)

Keri Hilson - Pretty Girl Rock


My walk, my talk, the way I dress, it's not my fault, so please don't trip... Don't hate me 'cos I'm beautiful... Don't hate me 'cos I'm beautiful...
You can see 'Diana Ross' and 'TLC' in this video.

Socially active

  I still remember when 'socially active' was associated with active club goers and wild partying without limits. It normally involved alcohols and dancing till the wee hours. 'Socially active' used to be viewed in a negative way.

  Now 'socially active' has a different meaning. It means active in posting statuses, pictures and commenting on Facebook. Active on Facebook can be positive if you know your limits and not ignoring your real life and responsibilities. Sadly most of us get so addicted to it that we keep on posting boring pictures and lame statuses. Worse, if we are addicted to its games such as Farmville, Cafe World and Mafia Wars.

6 Misunderstood First-date Signs

 Article by Julie Taylor, courtesy of Happen magazine
"You’re on a first date, and it’s going horribly. Or is it? It turns out that it’s all a matter of perspective. The elements that are making your date a disaster could actually signal something much sweeter. Read on for the six signs that your doomed date is anything but."

 1. Your date is not your type

Sure, you’ve seen your date’s photo on his or her profile — but when you meet face to face, you realize the person is so not your type. “Next!,” you say? Not so fast. “Remember that there are thousands of happy couples out there who are not each other’s type,” says Janice MacLeod, coauthor of The Dating Repair Kit. By ruling out someone just because he or she does not meet your romance requisites, you are cutting yourself off from a world of possibilities. 

When Jenna, 32, of Key West, FL, met Jeremy, she thought it would never work. After all, he was three inches shorter than she was and was a bit scruffy for her taste. “I wanted to leave instantly, but I had agreed to dinner and didn’t want to be rude,” she says. “Once I got past the superficial stuff, I realized what a gem of a guy he was, and to my surprise, our souls totally clicked. I never thought my soul mate would come in a package like his, but it happened. The lesson? Never say never, no matter what your ‘type’ may be.” 

If your date isn’t your type, try redefining your “type” in terms of how a person treats you and makes you feel. This will instantly broaden your dating horizons. “Then vow to finish out the date, come what may,” MacLeod concludes. “Just be in the moment, and give chemistry a chance to grow and prosper.”

Have a joyful Christmas, peeps!

  To all my Christian friends, Merry Christmas to you! I don't celebrate it as I am a Muslim, but I always look forward to Christmas every year. It's when they have good deals for year end sales, it's when you see buildings, mostly shopping malls and hotels are adorned with colorful decorations in spirit of Christmas. It's when your work place held gift exchange parties and it's also when you get to meet your long lost friends and relatives. 

  I remember when I was small, I used to tell my father on the first day of Eid to not give me 'duit raya' or 'angpau' (money in the small packet). You see, it's a decades kind of tradition for Malay Muslim adults to giveaway duit raya to younger ones, especially to babies, toddlers and those who are in schooling ages. I told him why not we exchange gifts instead? 

This is Absurd! Betrayal and Lies.

Her boyfriend confessed that he slept with her mom. Her mother denied the allegation. See what happened when the mother was put on a lie detector test.




Datuk/Dato' title obsessions in Malaysia.

  So I overheard a friend telling another friend that I am filthy rich and my parents would just give me anything I want. Why? Because I am an anak Dato'. Like... hello? Where do they get the idea that a Dato' must have loads of money? That title was conferred to my father by a state ruler because of his service to the country, not because of his flourish business and not because he paid a hefty sum to get the title. And no, my father did not receive any Dato'ship allowance okay.
  That's why I did not introduce myself as, "Hi, I'm LateBloomer Dato' Blablabla." People will tend to think that I am from a well to do and respected family and then they start to act extra nice, extra polite to me. 
  Gone are the days when a Dato'ship is a respectable and exclusive title. I bet you must have known so many Dato's by now. For example, on the same row of our house, there are three Dato's we know. I have another uncle who's a Dato', my grandmother's neighbour is also a Dato'.

Facebook Deactivated




I've deactivated my Facebook account...yahoo! I was so hooked on FB before that I felt like I was detached from the reality and ignored my real friends. Now I feel so relieved! But...but that doesn't mean I won't go back to FB. I will, one fine day, after I've sort out my own reality, my life, my destiny.

It's so tensed and sad seeing my successful friends on FB, posting their posh overseas trips, their new cars or their new luxurious condos.. and worse, weddings! Oh no no, enough with all the stress, I've had enough. It's not that I'm jealous and not happy for them. Of course I am happy for them, it's just that I feel like a big time loser. I want achievements and happiness in my life which I still can't have.

Anyone reading this, please pray for me. Pray that I'll be the prettiest woman in the world, the fairest of them all...Naah! ;) Please pray that I'll be strong, confident, persistent, bright, smart, rich... anything, you can pray all good things for me. Thank you and a big warm hug in advance.. :)

Ok let's listen to this Indonesian song by Mulan Jameela- 'Bukannya Aku Takut' means I'm not scared la.... hehehe...
