cool song

Love this song...and it really lives up to it's title...it's "COOL"

-Gwen Stefanie-

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard

The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

And I'll be happy for you

If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're hangin' out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool

blog spam

ok... so i know there's such a thing as email spams....but blog spams ? anonymous people go to ur blog, leaving comments that looks like a spam...doesn't mean a thing... oh well, the blog is public property...they can put down anything they like...i guess...hmmm...oh well, maybe i'm just irritated by these people...and by the fact that i've got nothing to do at work !! man... i wish i have just a small tiny thing to do...that means something...

when ur mouth move faster than ur brain...

Was chatting with my colleagues in the middle of working...yes, it was during office hour...and no we weren't talking bout work...haha...well anyway, one of my colleague came up with the theory that each english male name must have a female version to it...e.g. female version for patrick is patricia, don is donna, collin is colleen etc. Then came to a colleague of mind named Alfred...we couldn't figure out what is a female version of Alfred...then Alfred commented, well what is the male version of Ketut...so I replied...or what I wanted to reply was "Ketut is a unisex name"...but what came out of my mouth instead was "Ketut is bisexual" !! I immediately realise of course...what I had said...and being me...well, I laugh at myself horrendously !! Hahahaha....and it's not like I whispered it....I said it quite loud actually !! Oh mannnn......told Jamie about it and she said I must be high when I said that...hahaha...it's not because I was high ! It was simply because the mouth move faster than the brain...=D

the size in me..

I used to be an overweight kid...back in high school days...I was happy...or I thought I was... I didn't realize it, but I wasn't really that happy...I don't like people comparing me with my sis since she was like so perfect, she was thin, smart and she had a boyfriend and this group of friends that she hangs out with...they are popular at school too...I think at some point that time, there was this feeling in me to just leave this behind and start over...yet I moved to the same city with my sis...went to the same uni, just that she got into a better faculty...until finally...I got my big break..I got my scholarship and moved here...

If you see me now, I am so different...or so I think..hehe..I found the love of my life...my husband that is...and it was because of him actually...that I have the desire to become a better person...His sincerity and plain kindness really changed me...I started to see people in a different way and also started my project to loose weight and determine about it too coz I feel that I wanna be better for him...Now I have a normal size body but I feel like I have a bigger heart...I am also very very happy....and it's for real now...

*dedicated to my husband, without whom...I'll never be who I am today*

monsoon wedding...

It is the monsoon season...or i think it is...doesn't matter, the thing that i wanted to talk about is actually weddings !! I attended 2 weddings last Sunday...apparently last sunday, 18th september is a very very good day in chinese calendar to get married...

The first wedding i attended is my ex-housemate's dina...i did more than just attended the wedding, i actually help to become her jie mei....in case u don't know what a jie mei is or do...i'm gonna explain...jie mei is something like a brides maid and by right suppose to be the sisters of the bride...but well sometimes u dun have a lot of sisters so u invite ur good friends to help. the purpose of having jie meis is to challenge the groom and his brothers (there is also a term for this, which i really can't remember) when the groom comes to fetch the bride...jie meis suppose to negotiate with groom before he can come and claim his bride..hehehe...well, that's the juice of it...

So basically me and marsel arrived at dina's hotel room at 8 am since jie mei session scheduled to start at 9...and we were prepared for the negotiation and pranks that we are going to pull on the groom...but what we fail to learn is that the brothers and the groom supposed to storm into the room where the bride is, and if the jie meis can't hold them...they can get away !! well, that was a shock !! we were actually slammed against the door...coz we were not prepard...but finally the groom's brother spared us...and we still get to ask the groom to drink this yummy drink we made out of egg yolk, lime, sugar and crushed banana...yeah i know...eewww !! but he gulp it down without a problem, and of course we got our hong baos...heheh....which in chinese tradition is a must...for good luck that is...

After the jie mei session
I didn't join Dina's tea sesion instead, I went home and then together with my husband, we went to another friend's church service...now on this wedding both the bride and groom are my friends...they came together with me to Singapore in november 1998...and they were tying the knot...i am sooo happy for them...the service was beautiful...the bride was beautiful...the groom is handsome...v happy couple...too bad I can't join their wedding reception cause I gotta rush for Dina's church service...

Dina's church service has a very different feeling than my other friends's service...Hers is less grand yet has a closeness feeling to it....in bahasa we call it "kekeluargaan", you feel that it's a small yet warm service...at the end of the service I even drop some tears....so touched...and so happy for my dear friend....ex housemate...ex roomate.... now she's gonna have a different roomate !

Well, for all four of you...both couples...I am very happy and I hope you live a good life together...cherish what you have....=)

last goodbye...

I've recently tasted the bitterness, sadness of loosing a very dear friend. It happen so sudden, I couldn't believe it when I first heard about it...it's like something you would hear in the news...

My dear friend Chrissie, who was 5 months pregnant passed away side by side with her husband in a car accident...it's a shocking news...we didn't expect it...she was suppose to return from holiday that day...instead, we receive this news...i've gone to her wake...say my last goodbye to both of them...I will miss her, she has taught me soo much...I will never forget her sweet nature, opennes, warmth and love...My only comfort is that I know both of them have moved on to a better place...to be beside God up there...

Loosing her has made me realise how short life is, that you really don't know when God will want you to return to His side...we should cherish the people we care and those who care for us...
