Just for my football fans out there ;)

Hehe a bunch of ppl(Actually juz 1 person) have actually commented that they missed reading my views on the world of football..And since I juz love pleasing my fans..[Yes I know, I have no shame so what :P]]here are my thoughts on the happenings in the football world especially in a little place called Anfield :) [Sorry abt the lovey dovey crap being posted up lately, I'm wasn't myself for while and I think its still ongoing so bear with me hehe ;)]

Liverpool 2 Hull 2
I didn't actually watch the match cause was bz being a participant in a bachelorette party and since I'm surrounded by girls..I can't have any thoughts on football unless we are talking abt certain body parts of the players hehe[Are you thinking what I'm thinking hehe ;) obviously not.. cause i'm talking abt ABS here..the girls agree Beckham had the best ones but then they only know Beckham and Ronaldo..so quite redundant :P]..My bro who is Gooner gleefully msg me after the liverpool match had started ard 10 mins later saying Hull had scored...I was like "What!!how can that be..Oh god please..We need this win.."Apparently God had no time to listen to a silly Liverpool fan like me cause 10 mins later Mr reliable himself(Jamie Carragher) scored an own goal..[Information was received via my bro yet again]. I was already feeling like "Shoot, if even Carra scored own goal, looks like its not going to be our day "

But then 2 mins later this msg lifted my spirit up.

(Via SMS)

My bro: "Haiz boring..Gerrard scored"
Me: "Woo hoo..."


And again during the 32 min of the 1st half

(Via SMS)

My bro: "Stupid Hull, Gerrard scored again"
Me: "Yes ah, Can you smell what the KOP is cooking hehe"
My bro: "ape je merepek, k lah nnt adik msg kalo gerrard score lagi hehe"[Translation: nonsense..I'll msg if Gerrard scored again]

Was waiting for the sms that Liverpool scored again but too bad it never came..I guess I'm quite satisfied with a draw especially with all the top 4 matches ended with draws too..Well 1 point is better than nothing i guess and we could easily got nothing if not for Captain Marvel Mr Steven Gerrard ;)

A busy weekend of being a rock star, a contestant in an amazing race and being in someone else's shoes

My weekend seem to be getting better and better as time passes by :)

Well someone had to be on standby last weekend and I was kicking up a bit of a fuss when he told me that he had to stay in the office overnight.

Me: why do you have to sleep the office? Isn't it better to go home and rest..
Him: Actually staying in the office to play PS3 with my colleagues..
Me: What!! you crazy..work whole day still not tired ah..
Him: Need to relieve stress lah..Can you try put yourself in my shoes sometimes?
Me: Cannot your shoes too big ;P
Him: hehe very funny..I'm not kidding you know..since you always complain, why don't you come over to the office and see for yourself and on sunday, you can come along when I'm doing servicing
Me: Is that a challenge? Ok i accept :P but ur colleagues dun mind I come meh
Him: No, they dun mind..they need a singer.
Me: huh??

It turn out to be that I was recruited to be a lead singer for a band called "Solidsnake"[Lame, I Know :)]. Bassist: Peter. Drums: Kee. Lead Guitar: Darren..And the showstopper on lead vocal: ME hehe :P

I can't imagine jamming(virtually of course) in the middle of the night[at 2am actually and we played till morning hehe]. When I first start playing, I sucked really bad..Singing in a rock band is not that easy after all hehe..and I keep bringing my band stars down..But as we played and (with the guys encouragement and tips) I got the hang of it, we started to have fun.

Then came the song that made us all feel like real rock stars.."Living on a prayer" by Bon Jovi..I am a closet Bon Jovi fan so when this song came along[I was like Hell yeah, Time to rock it out :P] and it was like everything had come together perfectly...The feeling was really like being in the rock back and DARREN was perfect on the guitar solo..We played this song repeatedly cause it feel really good and it became our favourite song.

So that's how I became a rock star for a day.[or should I say night]



Anyways on Sunday, I came along with him to do his servicing and it was like being in the amazing race but Singapore version. So basically this is what happened, he get a call,if possible he'll try to solve the problem over the phone. If not, then we'll go to that place, did some troubleshooting and try to resolve the issue. We went to so many places on Sunday that I lost count..And it is like the amazing race cause we get to the place, fix the problem and go to our next destination and all the troubleshooting had to be done within 2 hrs.[Get it? In the amazing race, the contestants have to get their destination, do the challenge, get their clue and move on to the next destination.] We didn't even have time to have a proper meal cause the calls were coming fast and furious :) We only get to finish the servicing at around 10pm and by then I was totally shagged. But he was still working on one of his customer hard disk trying to resolve a virus issue.

It is amazing how much you'll learn about a person when you are able to put yourself in their shoes..What I've learnt is that he works hard but plays even harder...He does flirt when he's out there doing servicing[Did I get jealous?of coz but just a tiny bit cause I know its just harmless and well I already have a place in his heart so there's not need to be worried].

I managed to be a rock star and a contestant in an amazing race for just being in someone else's shoes specifically his shoes..and I find that's truly and opener and glad I had a chance to do it..But it'll be perfect if only I can find a way to fit him in my shoes ...hehe :P

Falling in love..Now that's a scary thought...

I've always been scared of falling in love..To me, it is one of the scariest things in the world..Most of the time I try to convince myself that I'm not in love..Cause just the words "Falling in love" is scary..Have you ever wonder why its called falling in love? Its because when u r in love, its just like falling from certain height..U have no control over it and just have to go with the flow and hope that you land somewhere soft and cuddly or have yourself land on the hard concrete and break into million pieces just like Humpty Dumpty hehe..Maybe you'll say that I'm just a control freak. Well maybe that's true, I do love to be in control and really hate it when things don't go my way :P.. Well yeah I'm a brat so sue me :P

So why is it now me being a falling-in-love-phobic is posting all this lovey dovey crap lately hehe :P
The reason is cause I can't help it..all these sugary side-effects of falling in love is turning my brain into mush and I'm clearly not myself.I've turned totally like one of those chicks in a romantic comedy.[Obviously someone who I don't inspire to be] Having dopey smiles on my face without a reason..Getting positively giddy and looking forward to the weekend..Thinking of what to wear when meeting him..and getting all upset when he says he's too busy to talk..Somebody kill me now why am I behaving this way..this is so not me..All I can blame on is that I am experiencing all these horrible side-effects that you'll get when you are falling in love..


I keep waiting for the bubble that I'm floating in lately to burst and crash land me into the hard concrete floor..But it doesn't seem to be happening in fact everytime I think its going to burst..He'll do something to make my bubble soar even higher..Yes, I'm talking in metaphor..please don't take everything I wrote literally cause you'll never figure it out..[See, I'm turning into a b*tch too OMG].

To summarise this post, what I'm trying to say is I'm absolutely scared and possibly going to freak out soon..wondering what's going to happen next cause I almost could smell in the air that something big is about to happen..Maybe its sixth sense..Yup sorry to disappoint but I don't see dead people :P Maybe I should just chill and take a deep breath..Yeah..I think its working cause I just managed stop hyperventilating..

So delaila here signing off
Roger and out

4 little details men notice about women

Read an interesting article online recently. So just to summarise it..These are the little details men notice about women

1) Hands
Reason: Beautiful hands can portray daintiness and strength at the same time. imagination will go on overdrive on what it's like to hold them.

2) Hair
Reason: Hair can do simple actions that can evoke powerful emotions.
When a gust of wind blew right down the street and ran through her hair, an indescribable motion that took place in her hair was beautiful.

3) Attitude towards others
Reason: A person with a beautiful personality treats everyone nicely and respectfully. It's fun to be out with a girl and watch her make people smile from afar. It makes me feel proud and lucky that I'm with her. It's already an amazing thing when I meet a girl that can brighten my days. But if this girl brightens everyone's days, then I'm even luckier.

4) What Does She Notice?
You can learn a lot about a person just by the details they notice in life and moments. It is a fun adventure going out with someone who can laugh at and notice little things, and who always brings new insights to different situations.

So guys do you agree?What other little things that you notice abt a girl?

Another magical weekend :)

I truly does not know what is going on lately and what's in the air these days..But I had an amazing Saturday..Yet again a day seem to be ordinary turn out to be totally different..I can't explain why this is happening and it is somewhat confusing to me..[But in a good way of course]

There's no words that could describe what I feel that day so I'm just going to say it with music ;)

Enjoy :)

"Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can
be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real
or just another crush?"

When a smile meant and worth more than a thousand compliments..

When a smile meant and is worth more than a thousand compliments..Yes, that is how I felt on Sunday, supposedly to be an ordinary day but ending up to be one of the special days that I'll remember for a very long time...

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, there he was smiling at me as if I'm the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and he's glad that I'm with him(I don't know if it was my imagination but that was the feeling I got from that one simple smile). I got into his van and the 1st words he said was "You look so pretty today" and then looked away blushing as if he just realised that he had said those words aloud. And me still feeling the powerful blast of shock and joy from that one smile and those words stupidly said "Huh? where got?"[Yup silly Delaila at work again, maybe i'm juz being a little confused at what is going on then hehe]. So there it was the most perfect start to that special Sunday.

We had went out that day with the intention of me shopping around for my company D & D dress. I knew it's going to be a long day of going into different shops and trying many, many clothes and I know how much he hated shopping so I was prepared for a day of his complaining and me being annoyed at his complaints. But surprisingly, the absolute opposite happened. Each time I ask him how the dress looked on me, he would really look at me and answer instead of the usual "you look ok lah..just buy the dress and go". The shopping experience became more fun cause I did not feel the guilt and annoyance that I normally feel when I'm out shopping with him and with him involved in the shopping, I think I tried more clothes that I intended to cause he keeps giving me clothes to try. This is the 1st time I had so much fun shopping with him. Actually he told me that he is quite disappointed that I did not buy the dress of his choice which does not look like a 60's dress at all[the theme for my D & D].His choice of dress make me look more like a japanese doll[a top with a super short ballerina-like skirt]. I jokingly told him that the purpose of this shopping is to find a 60's style dress for my D & D not to find the dress of his fantasy hehe...He smiled and replied but it is not wrong to dream right and you look so cute in that dress. He even offered to buy that dress for me[which is again another 1st] but I declined as at time I was feeling really weird cause he's behaving totally out of character. I finally found the dress that I liked and it does resembled a 60's dress so I bought it.

After the shopping, we decided to buy a drink and sit somewhere to talk. We end up sitting at the cinema where they are showing the movies trailers and we had an interesting talk about James Bond ;)[Can't get into details here cause it will be way too long for this post]

After finishing our drink, I had to go to the restroom and when I came out of the restroom. He gave me a bag and told me that its for me[again he is behaving totally out of character, he have never bought me anything except on special occasion like aniversary or birthdays].

Stupidly again I asked:

Me: "What's this?"
Him: "Something for you"
Me: "Huh?What for?"
Him: "hmm I thought of you when I saw it so I decided to buy it for you"

Guess what he bought for me? A mug that have these words written on it "I'm not stubborn. My way is just better".[This is the argument that I'll always use when he tells me that I'm being stubborn]

Him: "So you like it?"
Me: "I don't know..ok lah"[Oh my god how stupid can I be]
Him(looking disappointed): "Oh okay"
Him:"Come let me carry your things"
Me:"Huh?"[I'm so shocked that I just let him carry my things and follow him with a dopey smile on my face. I can tell you truthfully that throughout my relationship with him, he had never ever offered to carry my things.]

He convinced me to watch a movie which I was relucted to watch but it actually turned out to be a good movie. And after the movie, as usual we had dinner and talked about the movie.[Which part I/he liked the best and have much impact on us etc..]

It was only when I had reached home, it started to sink in that something special had happened. That my ordinary sunday had turned extra-ordinary and that it is possible to fall for someone all over again.

And Guess what? I'm going to have this dopey smile on my face for this whole week and even longer I think even though its the 1st week of the month[My busiest time at work] cause nothing can beat the joy that I'm feeling right now. Just PURE BLISS :D



P/S: Sorry for the super long post and lots of details that might not interest you but I just felt I need to capture the feelings that I felt and have it written down so that I could read it again and again and feel like it happened just yesterday ;)

The important men in my life :)

Do you remember the time when we were younger hanging out with the girls and start dishing out our ideas on what our dream guy would be like. When I was younger, my idea with a dream guy was same as others I guess..the cute boy band type[At that time was pretty clueless on the tall, dark and handsome types]..Actually, at that time i have a pretty enormous crush on him..



My first love of coz definitely don't look anything like that person above.hehe..He's a chinese malay mix and guess where I met him..At a River Valley High Girl guides and scouts campfire..Yup, so very cliche..I know..But I guess sparks just flew between us across the campfire..He smiled and I smiled back and that's the start of a 3 year long relationship. I learned a lot from this relation and I can truly say I have never regretted it...in fact I should thank him(so Alfian if you happen to read this "thanks and you're the best 1st love anyone could ever have cause you completely made me realised wat relationship is all about and definitely made me into a better person" :D)

So anyways, of course most 1st love wouldn't last..we both out-grew with each other and wanted different things in our lives so we decided to move on.

After that I don't really want to be in a relationship and wanted to embrace my singlehood so I was single for most of the time while I was in ITE. And those times when I was attached, I wasn't really into it and I guess it does reflect, the relationship only last for a couple of months and I didn't even feel sad when it ended..I juz felt relieved hehe [Sorry to Mr whoever-you-are, I can't even remember your name and that is how insignificant you are to my life but thank you all the same cause you taught me the lesson that relationship are not like fairy tales sometime it just doesn't end with a happy ending].

After I had two relationships without a happy ending, I told myself that I should just left fate decide and stop hoping and searching for love. During this time, I'm not sure why but I just blossomed I guess..Guys started asking me out and I would go of course because it was a compliment to have guys ask you out but something was missing...I was so not having fun during the dates and the only fun I had was after it when I was dissecting the date and laughing about it with my best guy friend :)As it goes, this best guy friend of mine is like an enemy and a motivator all rolled up in one..Sometimes he tormented me so much that I seriously had thought of ways to hurt him badly and sometimes I feel like he is the only person in the whole wide world that understands and accepts me exactly the way that I am. He's the only person who could understand the way that I'm feeling without me talking about it and at times, we could even complete each other sentences..Yup I know cliche again but its true :)

At that time, I did think that maybe this is the guy that fate had brought to me but both of us were absolute polar opposite so I convinced myself that he could not possibly the one. WE remained best of friends till we had to work together 24/7 on our final year project...That is the period that really sucks..We fought all the time and could not really agree on anything, it magnified the fact that both of us are truly 2 completely different people..There is still this one time I still remember how angry he was at over a mistake I made and I remembered feeling that I was not being appreciated..And he had the dubious title of the only guy that made me cry. That I is when I realise that actually I really cared about him more than a friend, no other guy had ever made me cry before cause if u know me well, I hate to cry..I will never cry over a guy unless I truly cared about him.

And the rest as they say is history, this fairy tale has not yet reached its ending but i sure hope it will be a happily ever after ;)

One of the movies that you need to watch in your lifetime: THE NOTEBOOK

The movie "The Notebook" really had leave a deep impression on me. Although most people would classify this movie as a tear-jerker but for me, not a single tear rolled down my cheeks. Cause this movie made me feel joy not sadness. It made me feel that true love still exist in this selfish, selfish reality and that one day maybe one day the love that Noah had for Allie will happen to me :) You see I'm a little sceptical about love. I don't really believe in forever[which is kinda sad] but this movie gives me hope that love will truly grow with time and it won't fade away into obligation.

As always, my "fren" will say these things only happen in movies, books and fairy tales and he don't understand why girls always fall for the same tricks again and again. I told him that I know these things won't really happen in real life[girls are really not that dumb] but at least it gives me the reason to dream and that is enough for me ;)



P/S: Don't you think that Ryan Gosling look so much like Fernando Torres..[Cue in *SIGH*]

Obsessive addiction part 2

I watched Grey's anatomy yesterday and this quote from Meredith completely hit the nail in the head[Hehe you know what I mean rite..(For those u doesn't, it's a metaphor)].Check my previous post if you want to know more.

"In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It's shocking how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it were just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away."

- Meredith Grey

The worst thing that you can get addicted to is "L.O.V.E". I feel that sometimes addiction comes so naturally to us that we don't even know that we are addicted until we are forced to go "cold turkey".

And to continue the Theme of addiction..Below is the song "Addicted" from simple plan for your enjoyment :)

Countdown to my favourite Hari Raya songs

Hi Everyone..Seeing that there's almost about 1 week left to Hari Raya, I decided to do a countdown to my fave hari raya songs and also to drum up the excitement for Raya(which is getting harder each year cause I'm no longer getting the zakat but instead I have to give it out hehe..I guess it is a good thing that I'm giving zakat and combined with my steadfast fasting so at least maybe some of my sins will be forgiven :P)

So here are my top 5 songs for RAYA!!

Song at no. 5
SELOKA HARI RAYA..

This song reminded me of the time where I had to participate my school Hari Raya celebration with my malay language classmates. Needless to say it went horribly wrong cause none of us could dance the traditional malay dance but we did it anyway to have fun and just for memories sake.(If I'm not wrong, it was our last year in Secondary school). The dance was made up of 6 couples and at one point of the dance, each couple was to separate and to form 2 lines consisting of all girls and guys. But I think my partner didn't get that memo and when we start to separate out, my partner decided to follow me looking absolutely clueless..I had to point him to the right direction while making it look like it was part of the dance(I don't think I succeeded cause the whole place was laughing by then). But luckily, my partner reacted and quickly join his line. I did the whole dance giggling cause I don't know why but I find the whole situation very hilarious. It is safe to say that is end of my "short" career as a malay dancer hehe ;) but because of that event, this song never fail to make me smile.



Song no. 4
BALIK KAMPUNG

Hehe even though I don't really have a kampung to go back to during Raya. But I just love the chorus of this song. Yet again a song that everyone knows especially the chorus..All together now "Balik kampung..ooohh..balik kampung"



Song no. 3
AIR MATA SYAWAL

This songs always reminds me that Hari Raya is not only about celebrating that we have done the fasting for 1 month but it is also about remembering those who have left us or those who are far away from us.



Song no. 2

SUASANA HARI RAYA

This song by Anuar Zain and ellina is one of my favourite raya song simply because everyone knows this song. Me, my sisters and my cousins will be singing this song in the back seat when we used to go out visiting our relatives together in my uncle's van and sometimes the adults will join in as well. Hehe we especially love the part
" Asyik bersembang pakcik dan makcik, hai duit raya lupa nak diberi" Bring back plenty of good memories :)



Song no. 1

SATU HARI DI HARI RAYA

My favourite song of all time for Raya. This song never fails to make me feel the spirit of Raya. Love to play this song especially when baking cookies. To me this song encapsulate(wow, such a big word) what Hari Raya is all about. K lah enough of me yapping here..Just click play and enjoy the song ;)

Liverpool 2 Manchester United 1

Liverpool 2 Manchester United 1

oh..yeah!! Hehe I was doing my happy dance when the final whistle was blown. This was totally such an unexpected win and that's what made it a much sweeter victory.
When Man U scored within the 3 mins after the kick-off. Smses from my Man u friends starts flooding in telling me to get ready for a trashing. To be honest, I was mentally prepared to get trashed too since we got no Gerrard, no torres and thay are only missing Ronaldo with Berbatov being a more than able replacement to get the required goals.

And then this happened:




I couldn't believe my eyes, finally the luck that have always been shining on Man U whenever we meet is back on us. From then on, I could see the Liverpool began to push on to get the winner. Alonso and Mascherano started to grew in confidence and began to control the midfield. Our new guy Reira start to terrorise the left flank with some fancy flicks and turns(I love it ;)) and Liverpool is starting to look like their old self. Not the duplicate team that has been playing in the last two games.

In the second half, Man U start to look lost and had to bear waves of attacks from the Reds. A major mistake by Ryan Giggs and the perseverance of Mascherano lead to the 2nd goal scored by Ryan Bable, our very own super-sub with 13 mins left. I was praying by then and was hoping that Man U will not get an equaliser. I guess it worked cause Liverpool left the field with 3 points and finally the curse of not being able to beat Man U is finally lifted and it was done without Gerrard and Torres. Guess we are no longer a two man team ;)

For those who have missed the match:



For all Liverpool fans out there(I'm sure you are feeling the same way at that time):




Enjoy the win everyone!! Savour it cause it has been a long time coming ;) YNWA!

One of the Best Date of my life ;)

I just realised that after you have been out there dating for a while, things will get a bit routine and well soon all the standards that you have set for yourself have seem to drop cause you no longer expect it to happen. I have always made the effort of doing different things on my dates but it should be a two-way street, I can't always be the one deciding what we should be doing on the weekends. And I definitely hate conversations which goes like this:

Me: so what's the plan for this weekend?
Guy: Hmm me anything..What you want to do?
Me: I thought you are asking me out so you should have something planned.
Guy: Hmm no plans leh..not sure what u want to do..
Me[Feeling pissed off]: Ok..Thanks for the effort put in planning the date..but I have to wash my hair during the weekend.
Guy: huh??wash hair need both weekend?(not realising that I'm pissed off)
Me: Arrgg!!
Guy: Why are u so angry? having PMS?

I immediately put down the phone without even bothering to answer his idiotic questions.

Yes, that's right this conversation happened to me before and till today he still don't get why am I so pissed off. Is it so hard for men to shower a bit of attention to the ladies?

In a guys' mind(derived from the dates I've been to ;)) the equation of good dates goes like this:

Dates = Dinner + Movie(if action/sci-fi movie, even better)

In a girls' mind(for me at least)

Dates = Good conversation + effort in making me feel special + plenty of sincerity

Guys always associate dates with dinners and movies or if they are feeling a bit romantic, chocolate/flowers are thrown into the equation. But for the girls, they just want to have good conversation and wants to feel special no matter if the date just turn out to be a nearby visit to starbucks ;)(This happens to me before too)

And this leads me back to memory lane where I had one of the best dates in my life ;)
This happens in secondary school which just shows that best dates in life doesn't have to be expensive

I used to be such a bookworm in secondary sch and I love reading so much(Yes, that was when I'm in my nerdy phase which is still ongoing), so this guy whom I was going out with planned this really special date for our anniversary. He wouldn't tell me what we'll be doing so I just thought it will be another dinner & movie date. But to my surprise, he brought me to Borders and asked me to pick any book I like. I was so surprised because it was so unexpected. I still have that book cause looking at it always bring back good memories.(Its one of those buffy the vampire slayer book cause at that time i'm a big fan of buffy too ;P) He then brought me to his house and told me that his mom has prepared a meal for us on his request(I guess he didn't know how to cook but i'm still impressed by the way). And after a good meal, we just spend the whole day at his house reading, with me laying my head on his lap reading my new buffy book and him reading his Archie comics. I remember feeling completely special and blissful even though we were not talking at all the whole time just enjoying the companiable silence, hearing the sound of his breathing and his occasional laughter.

Yup, that was one of the best dates I have experienced. I know it might sound really boring to some of you but to me, this boy is willing to put in extra effort just to do things that he know I will enjoy the most. And I really appreciate him for that cause by giving me that experience, it taught me that dates doesn't not have to be expensive or just be about movies and dinners. Its the thoughts and sincerity that counts ;)

Obsessive addiction

To make matters clear, the poem below is not about me..I don't get why people always assume that the poems I wrote is derived from my life :) So sorry to disappoint but I truly have a boring but blissful life, not that inspiring at all ;p

Ok, back to the topic, the poem was actually inspired by this song by Ashanti called "The way that I love you" hence the title of my poem. Yup, I do get inspired by random things like songs ;) What I like about the song is the way it showcase how obsessive love could be. Love is not just about the roses but it is about the thorns too and that is the reality of life.

In a relationship, there is no way that both parties could love each other equally the same way but they could love each othe equally in their own way.

I have some guys friends who asked me "why does girls always need verbal assurance that they are being loved. Doesn't action speak louder than words"

I told them that I completely agree with what they are saying(which seem to shock them, I'm not so sure why hehe) But I explained to them that it is the same way that guys always need physical assurance that they are being loved which we girls don't really get.

My friends and I had this discussion some time back. How do we know that we are in love? and I mean in love with someone not falling in love with someone which is completely another different topic.

After a long discussion, we realised that we know that we are in love with someone when we willingly do things that we won't normally do without any complaints and that we rather spend time with that person instead of doing the things we love. That is also how we will know that our other half is in love with us ;) And yes, love is all about sacrifice.

Sometimes we can't help it but do things that we know will make that someone happy. It is in our nature to care and in our nature to adapt.

But knowing this doesn't mean that we have to completely change ourselves to suit our partner..Changes which will make us be a better person is one of the best things that can happen in a relationship. But if you change into someone that you are not that is completely wrong..If your life revolve around your partner all the time and you don't know how to live without him/her around, I'm sorry to say my friend, that is not love. That is what known to me as an obsessive addiction.

Obsessive addiction happens when you completely lose yourself to make someone happy. You get so scared of that person leaving you that you forget that you have your own life to lead and it is a trap that will sink you deeper and deeper till you look at yourself in the mirror and you couldn't recognise that person anymore.

So go on, fall completely in love with someone and don't hold back but do not fall into the trap of obsessive addiction.

The way that I love you

will you miss me
the way that I miss you each time you are not there

will you see my face
the way that I always see yours before I lay myself to sleep

will you look back at all the memories and smile
the way that I do when I'm thinking of you

will you ever love me the same way that I love you

THE DAY I BETRAYED MY BEST FRIEND

Yes, I betrayed my best friend. I betrayed her trust and her faith in me. I did it knowingly and willingly. Even though I knew it is going to cause her pain and I know for sure that this is going to change my friendship with her. But still did it anyway..I did it for my own selfish reason..I just want my best friend back..

Imagine you have been friends with someone for 12 long years and have been together throughout the good and bad that life have to offer. Imagine the bubbly and outgoing girl that you thought you had known so well suddenly became a whole different person altogether. A person that you know wasn't her and there is a chance to get back the bubbly amazing girl that you used to know. So can you understand now why i had to do it? Why I had to betray her?

It upsets me a lot and makes me feel really miserable that this illness is taking my best friend away from me..She had been having these episodes for a while and I did nothing..I refuse to believe that she is sick and would rather believe in a denial than to face the cold truth.

One day, I no longer could deny it cause I felt that she is no longer there with me and she had turned into another person...I felt so helpless then..I knew that she needed help before she gets any deeper and before she hurts herself or hurts someone else. The only way for her to get help is for me to betray her...So I have to harden my heart and lie point blank in her face so that she will get help she needed.

And she being the girl that she is thought of nothing when I told her we were going to have lunch at IMH..And that is truly the ultimate trust that one could have for a person and I betrayed that..

It hurts me the most when I saw her all tied up on her bed because she refuses to co-operate and turned violent..With pleading eyes, she asked me "why did you bring me here? You don't think that I'm crazy right?"

With tears brimming in my eyes, I told her "No, I don't think you are crazy..You are just sick. The doctors here will help you get better"

So with that, I betrayed my best friend for my own selfish reason of wanting her back. And till now, I still don't know if what I did was right or wrong..But sometimes in life, there are choices that you have to make but you don't want to..And this is one of the hardest choices, I have to make in my life.

Are you happy?

Are you happy? It sounds like the simplest question on earth..but is it really? Most people will answer "Yes, I am" or "Of course, I'm happy". But are they really happy? or are they just answering that question with an expected answer..

Happiness means different things to many people. For most people, they equate happiness with power and money.. But if u really think about it, does the most powerful and wealthiest people in the world look truly happy?

For some people, happiness just mean that they are contend with what they have.
But this kind of thinking will only get misunderstood by others of being complacency or not ambitious enough. But what they don't know is that these people are normally the happiest people on earth because they will always just live for today so they will savour everything that they get and they are thankful for it.

There are majority of people in this world who hate their jobs and always feel that they are meant to do something big/different in their life. While it is good to dream big, at least hold on tight to what is important to you right now so that you will not lose your soul while you are chasing your dreams.

Don't know why I am feeling a bit philosophical today? I guess I was just being affected by the chat I had yesterday...Anyway the song below is dedicated to that someone I had a chat with yesterday..Sometimes when things doesn't go your way, all you have to do is smile :)

Confessions of a villain

I slay, I slash, I kill
I do all that for the thrill
It fills me up with glee
when people starts to flee

Why so serious?
I'll always say
Time to call the bat
I can't wait to play

This permanent smile
It has brought me fame
Let's play a little game
Can you guess my name..

Euro 08: Germany 3 Portugal 2

Am I the only one left feeling being mislead by all the hype of this game before hand? The match that was described to be a duel between flair and efficiency. Where was the flair? The efficiency of the German machine was definitely there but the Portugal went for an early vacation yesterday especially after the two goals from the German before half time. The Portugal team look totally lost in the match and they had no ideas at all on how to combat the efficiency of the Germans.

Although Nuno Gomez managed to snatch a goal right before the half time whistle, it was back to square one after a horrible marking by the Portugal defence, allowed Michael Ballack to head home the 3rd goal(which was awfully similar to the 2nd goal they conceded against Klose).

That was when I decided the match was not worth sacrificing my sleep cause the winner was so obvious from then on. Portugal team had no fire, no spirit, no passion all which are required to conquer the cold efficiency of the germans.

So congrats to the Germans for progressing to the semis and to Portugal, I just have one word disappointing.

I wish that PSP could be banned?!!

Hehe all the avid gamers out there is going to kill me..But I really wish that PSP could be banned..Not entirely of coz but just when you are out with other ppl like your friends and girlfriends/boyfriends..I actually think that it is kinda rude to be playing your PSP while you are out with other ppl and it really make you look like you are very anti-social or the company you are with is not as interesting as the games you are playing..

This observation was done while I was on train home..There was a few couples sitting opposite me in the train and guess what..

Yup, the guys were busy playing with their PSP that they forget their girlfriends are right beside them..I could really see the fed-up faces of the girlfriends...and I kinda pity them cause Well, it is bad enough when your bf wanted to stay at home cause he absolutely have to advance to the next stage of whatever PC games he playing but for him, to bring along the game with him after he has agreed to go out with you must be the absolute worst feeling. He might as well don't go out with you at all..Being a girl, I can understand that you like to spend time with your other half but if he is too busy playing his PSP, It must have felt as if he cared more about the PSP.

So I would like to tender this suggestion where all PSP should be left at home so that quality time can be spent with ppl you love ;) and world would definitely be a better place to live ;)

Sundays are meant for Weddings

For those who knows me well, they will know not to ask me out on Sundays cause i would 95% say no..Hehe..Normally, this would be automatically understood until one fine day, this question was brought to me..

Are you sure that you really have to go to weddings on almost every sunday of the month?

Sadly my answer is yes..its not that i'm anti-weddings but if you went to one malay wedding before then you have been to them all cause basically its all the same hehe[This is not meant to be racist just a tongue in cheek observation ;P].

I find this next question really hilarious

Innocently, my friend remarked "Wow then you must have many relatives.."

I couldn't stop laughing when I heard it..

So I told my friend "To be honest, most of the time that I go to the wedding, I don't even know the bride/groom. I go there just for the food hehe"

Most of the weddings I went to are friends of a friend of my parents..My mum have no one to accompany her to these weddings and of course I'm forced to be her escort..

My observations after going to so many weddings, one question is sure to be asked by strangers whom I have just met "when am I getting married?/When it's my turn to get married"

And this seem to be the basic conversation starter at most weddings hehe. For most malays, this is quite normaly but for others, it is kinda shocking to hear hehe

So how do you ans this question to a complete stranger?

Just ans politely with a smile "Blum ada jodoh lagi Cik". Translation: "Haven't found the right one yet"

Which is the standard answer given by most youngsters at weddings.

Actually weddings is a good way to immerse yourself and experience different cultures.

And again in my tongue in cheek observation of other cultures weddings which I have been to:

Malay: Noisy, nosey, free all u can eat buffet[hehe if you are not pai seh to take 2nd helpings] and Karaoke(if you are brave enough to show ppl your hidden singing talents)

Chinese: Boring(imagine listening to the priest preaching for almost 1 hr before it came to the "I do") but u get to eat good food cause the reception is normally held in hotels/country club and you get to see the bride & groom change into many different outfits ;)

Indian: Quite rowdy (especially when some guests had too much to drink) ;) and if they serve the food buffet style then you have to queue for the food cause the wedding starts only when every one have been seated. It is also quite fun cause normally the bride and groom will get sabo by their friends/family members ;)

This is not to say that all malay, chinese, indian weddings are like what I describe above. These are just the weddings that I have experienced ;)

Thank God for the friends that I have

Do you know what it takes to really know someone? Its really simple..Just recall all the times that you are being a bitch/jerk/upset/depressed/angry and the person who is always there with you during those times..

Yup that is the person who knows you well and that is truly the person that you can depend on..Everyone wears a mask so when you are not in a good mood, that is normally the time when you expose your real self cause you just won't bother to hide anymore[Unless you are the type of person who is always in bad mood then this doesn't apply to you ;)].

I am really thankful that I have friends that I could depend on..Friends who meets me willingly in the early hours of the morning just cause I said I need someone to talk to..Friends who are willing to be blunt so that I wouldn't deceive myself and allow me to face the cold hard truth. Friends that I could cry on their shoulders and they wouldn't think that I'm being drama queen/cry baby..

Thank God for the friends that I have..

Empty the full cup and you'll be free

Someone once said to me
Empty the full cup and you'll be free
Memories please leave
and let me be in peace

Albert from Hitch once said
If being miserable is the only way to stay connected
then being miserable is who I'm supposed to be
but is that the right way to go
Is that the life I'm supposed to live

Too tired to think
Everything is now so confusing
but that phrase keep popping
Empty the full cup and you'll be free

LIVERPOOL 1 CHELSEA 1

HOW UTTERLY HORRIBLY UNBELIEVABLE!! I was just counting down the seconds when this happened:



I think all Liverpool fans were cursing RIISE when this happened me included..I just so couldn't believe it..Why use your head when u can kick the ball and let it be out of play..WHY!!

The Hero which help us defeat Barca had just became the villian..And Liverpool was playing great and they really deserve to win this match..But well what can I say..nothing is set in stone in football and absolutely anything can happen as this has proved..But all is not lost, we still have the 2nd leg at Stamford bridge..

I hope that MAN U will do us a favour and make the Chelsea players run around in circles and tire them out so that we'll could take advantage of their tiredness..wishful thinking i know..but well i just have to take what i can get..

HOW UTTERLY HORRIBLY UNBELIEVABLE!!

Kekasih Gelapku=> My dark sweetheart

Kekasih Gelapku=> My dark sweetheart

Hehe the english translation sounds a bit funny but the song is great. You see, i rarely listen to Malay songs so if a malay song managed to grab my attention then it is really that good..Actually this song is a typical jiwang(sentimental) malay song which I don't really love but the lyrics to the song is so super sad and deep. From the title itself, you definitely won't be able to guess what the song is about but as you listen on..You'll find yourself captivated by it..At least that's what happened to me..

Below are the lyrics of the song which made me fell in love with it once I heard it cause its so true :)

[chorus]Ku mencintaimu, lebih dari apapun
Meskipun tiada satu orang pun yang tahu
Ku mencintaimu, sedalam-dalam hatiku
Meskipun engkau hanya kekasih gelapku...

Ku tahu ku takkan selalu ada untukmu
Disaat engkau merindukan diriku
Ku tahu ku takkan bisa memberikanmu waktu
Yang panjang dalam hidupku

Yakinlah bahwa engkau adalah cintaku
Yang ku cari selama ini dalam hidupku
Dan hanya padamu ku berikan sisa cintaku
Yang panjang dalam hidupku...

English Translation:
[Chorus]I'll love you more than anything
Even though nobody else knows about it
I love you to the deepest depth of my heart
Even though, you are just my dark sweetheart.


I know that I won't always be there for you
Whenever you are misssing me
I know that I won't be able to give you plenty of time in my life.

Believe that you are my love
that i have been searching for in my life
And only to you, I'll give the scraps of my love
for a long time in my life

Repeat chorus

So as you can see what I love about this song is that its is not promising the impossible but just what a man is able to give to his gal..and I think that is so much better that a man who promised you the heaven and earth but is not able to deliver..

Enjoy the song and tell me what you think ;)

A man out there is really proud to call me his gal

It's a funny story really...I was just minding my own business in the train when my "fren" called and was really excited about something..The train was going underground and due to poor reception, I can't really hear wat he was saying..IT actually sounded like he was under water hehe..I finally told him to slow down and take a deep breath cause he is making no sense at all to me..

He told me that he saw my letter in the NEW PAPER..actually it was his fren who was reading the paper and he accidentally noticed my name..and was pointing at that new paper saying that's my girl name..He was so super excited about it and keep pointing it out to all his colleague...Hehe I think actually he expects me to be as excited as him but i guess my reaction was pretty disappointing..I just went "is it?Hmm ok i'll buy the NEW PAPER later" He asked how come I'm not excited about this so I told him "Actually, the NEW PAPER published my letters many times before already hehe". Surprisingly to me, he became quite upset that I didn't share that with him. He said if he knew earlier, he'll collect all the letters and keep it as momentos..

I knew that he is 110% not interested in football cause his definition of football: 11 men chasing after one ball.How ridiculous is that? But him being him, he'll always come along with me whenever I have to watch a football match outside.(His excuse not safe for a girl to be at a bar/kopitiam full of men alone, actually I just think that he's jealous.) and always listen(in this case pretend to listen) whenever I need to vent about Liverpool. So to me, this is a very small thing that I dun think I want to "burden" him with it and that I dun think he's interested in anyway. But I guess I was wrong..Hmm you learn something new every day.

CONTENTMENT

CONTENTMENT
some mistake it as lack of excitement
some mistake it as the ultimate boredom
some mistake it for sheer laziness


CONTENTMENT
everyone look everywhere it
everyone work hard for it
everyone really wish for it

CONTENTMENT
it is right there all along
if you know wat you are looking for
but it is human nature to want more
And the search for contentment never stops
So tell me now who is at fault?

ME a relationship Guru?

Its kinda weird but I recently noticed that many of my frens started coming to me for relationship advice..hehe Not to say that I'm an expert but I do have an interest in relationship stuff and always love reading about it (Books like Women from venus and Men are from Mars). That's where most of my poems are inspired from.. But I guess most of them came to me, more for a listening ear rather than advice..Why? I dunno maybe because I never break the carnal rule to listening which is not to share what you have just heard unless the person involved allow you to do so..

I had plenty of practice with my sisters..heehe i have kept lots of their secrets..So mayb that y it is like second nature to me to keep secrets and ppl feel safe as they know that what they are about to tell me will stay with me..

But lately, few of my frens had came to me with well, wat else but problems with their guys..And this was days after Valentine's day..I dun get why do guys these days do not know how to appreciate what they have and what do they actually want from their partners... I'm not here to judge but I feel like we are in the 21st century not in ancient times where men is always right..Ladies should stand up for themselves and made known of their unhappiness instead of keeping quiet...

Sometime I feel that couples nowadays really lack in communication..

I will sometimes ask my frens, what do they normally talk about with their partners when they go out..And the shocking answers is nothing much, talk abt the movie that they juz watch and wat to eat for dinner[This is a typical date in S'pore if u guys dunno]. I find that is so hard to believe because to me, conversation is key in a relationship if not, then how do u let the other party know how u are feeling..

That's y I always advise my frens who are facing relationship problems to talk it out and not to sugarcoat things..If u are not happy with something small, tell him/her immediately cause if you keep it to yourselves, that little unhappiness will grow to hate and that is how relationship fails..If u tell him/her at least they'll know the problem and try to change..OR worst case scenario, u tell him/her abt it and he/she still refuse to change, then at least u can say that you have given them a chance but it's still not working out..But if you both keep quiet and without knowing how each other is feeling and the relationship break down, u will somehow feel as if u are not given the chance to know why it failed and if there's something that you could have done to save it..

I also always believe that you should not stop being friends just because you guys are together..Being friends, allow u to tease each other without hurting each other feelings..Have u ever noticed how u might started out teasing/flirting with each other as friends and as soon as you guys become a couple, the teasing stops cause nobody ever bothers to make an effort any more..

So that is kinda my advice to my friends whenever they are talking abt their relationship problems but of course not all relationship is the same but they are definitely similar..

So just say you are angry when u are angry and keep flirting/teasing each other even though you are already a couple and maybe just maybe you'll built something to last ;)

Liverpool 1 Barnsley 2

The Results says it all

cause right now i'm utterly speechless...

I can't even scream out my frustrations when it happened cause i was at a public place..

If I'm at home, I'll be spewing out words that a good girl like me shouldn't say...and my dear dad will be spewing along with me..

IT IS SO HEART BREAKING TO BE A LIVERPOOL FAN..

BUT THERE'S JUST ONE COMFORT TO THIS.. AT LEAST MY HEART IS NOT BREAKING ALONE

KEEP THE FAITH GUYS..YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE...

West Ham 1 Liverpool 0 Just one word- Disappointment

I really don't get this..What in hell is Liverpool doing? To concede a penalty at the final min is complete bullshit..Liverpool is no longer the same team as before..it seems like they have lost their spirit...

I've been keeping quiet lately about the way Liverpool is playing..I even kept quiet when they played like shit[especially the defence] against some non league club that is made up of part-timers..But seriously, this is the final straw..I want the old Liverpool back..I want the old Liverpool who fight for every ball and never give up..I want the old Liverpool who might lost but kept their fighting spirit. I want the old Liverpool who is proud to wear their Liverpool shirt and truly feel the words to "You'll never walk alone".

I JUST WANT MY OLD LIVERPOOL BACK!!

West Ham 1 Liverpool 0Just one word- Disappointment

Me in the eyes of other people...

I had a revelation recently.. me and my close friends[You guys know who you are] did a little heart to heart talk..When I say heart to heart, it really is..WE talked about all our fears, our dreams..Cause I guess right now we are all at a junction in life where we have to make a choice about going after our dreams or facing reality...A friend of mine is really facing this issue where she have to make a choice...So we start disscussing about the pro and cons of the decision needed to be made. But me being the cynic, I started blasting at her with all the cons..That's when She laughed and told me that is so typical you...always starting the negatives..Feeling quite shocked when she said that, I told her really, that is how you think of me..

But looking back(this is called reflecting), I do realised that I do look at the worst case scenario first every time a decision has to be made..To me it is a way of being prepared and having plan B. And seriously, I am a firm believer of plan B and being prepared when things go wrong. So the only way I can have get a solution when things go wrong is to mentally thinking out the worst case scenario and finding the solution to that scenario...I know that not all the decision I made will turn to be the worst case scenario but I somehow feel quite comforted at the thought that I had gone through the worst case scenario in my head and I know what to do if it happened..I guess that makes me less of a risk taker but I just don't like risks hehe...

And I do admit that whenever ppl come to me with their problem or needing advise, I'll always begin with the the cons first..because I believe problems are based on a bad and good sides and we always need to take a look at both side before we can come at a solution. But human nature will always be focused more on the good side of things rather than on the bad side..so that is where I come in, informing my frens on the bad side of their decision to have a clearer picture in their head..and if they believe that they could handle the bad side of the decision then they should go ahead with the decisions that they have decided..

Anyways going back to my friends, I realised what true friends I have cause as they say true friends/soulmates are people who knows all abbout your flaws and yet they love you anyways..So guys thanks for being my true friends and trust me I'll always be yours :D

New Year's Resolutions=> so not me..

Hehe I know that it is kinda too late to talk about New Year resolution and stuff but since it is still January..I see no harm in talking about it...

You see I have never made new Year resolution and won't ever make one..But suprisingly this has shocked a few people including my manager who had harmlessly asked me about my resolution...

My theory is this why wait until a new year to make a resolution..Why can't we just make up resolutions as we go on in life.Isn't it more logical to make up resolution in accordance with wat you are facing right now instead of making one in the new year..

I know that some people might argue that New Year resolutions are for us to look back and see what improvement that can be made the next year..But that is kinda of silly don't you think... waiting until the end of the year to do a reflection on yourself..Its like doing nothing about yourself for the whole year and suddenly when the end of the year came, u start to look back on ways u could improve urselve better...So weird hehe...

I wish that above is the answer I have given to my manager when she asked me that ques but I was very surprised by her question that nothing came to mind..I just told her that there's no point making one cause most people say that it is meant to be broken hehe..So very the lame and Cliche...I think I lost a few brain cells when I said that hehe...

So people, there's no harm making New Year's resolution but just don't ask about my New Year's resolution cause I might lose out few more brain cells trying to answer that question ;P
