It means I'm lost... Let me tell you my misadventure of looking for La Poste office. Ok, La Poste is the local post office here in France and I was expecting my parcels to arrive from Malaysia. I've got some important books (more french books) and papers that I needed.  Anyway, most of the time, as my friend told me, the parcels are sent directly to the residence's office by the postman and then

Hey it's 2012!jeezzzzz...it's been a while (very long while) since I laid my hands on you, Mr blog. I guess, I'm now bored and living alone abroad. Did I say abroad? yeah... gonna do my last stage of degree, PhD my man! Alright, enough of that. It's exactly 11 days in Grenoble, France. So far, I'm confused over many things. Blame it on not understanding the language. I regretted not paying

There are so many things in life (almost 29 years of my life) in which I thought I could control. I determine my own future, I determine my hopes and I determine my dreams. But, after analyzing my past.... When I was 7 years old, my ambition was to be an architect (even I didn't even know what is an architect..the word sounds bombastic at that time when my teacher asked me what i wanted to be

Something to ponder... "Life is like a durian...all thorny but smells great. Once cracked open with all the pain left on the fingers, if you're lucky, you'll get good biji...if not, you'll get bad biji..when you get bad biji, you just have to get rid of the durian and move on to the next durian to try you're luck again."

I was suggested by someone to read the Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus by John Gray. I googled on this book and I was laughing my head off when I read some notes of the book. See if you are ... The point systemGray suggests that men and women count (or score) the giving and receiving of love differently. Men tend to give larger blocks of points (20, 30, 40 points etc.) for what they

Drops of tears rolling down my cheeks... Tried to stop them..but, I can't because I'm too weak... I tried not to think...but, I can't because...I don't know why..

I fell out of love for someone whom I thought I would end up marrying, a few months ago. Well, the relationship was already rocky for quite sometime already. I just didn't have the courage to end it much earlier and neither did he. But, you just knew something wasn't right when you start to push yourself to understand the other person, where as, you forgot to understand your own self...about

I haven't finish my Europe tour report, ok? Here goes...Venice, Italy. (Italian music in the background)I fell in love with this city, immediately...The buildings were unique. You feel as if you are in a romantic movie (except that you're traveling with your friend.heheh...sorry Pame). Every picture you take is beautiful. People are smiling and enjoying themselves. Okay, enough about that...

I wrote a list of signs of getting older before and I just thought maybe I should try to answer that question. (Read my 20 Signs of you're getting older) So, here goes...1. You will feel lonely. No calls....no hugs...no yang lain-lain lah.2. When you hear the song "You make me feel like a natural woman" by Aretha Franklin, you will feel like throwing the mp3 player to the wall.3. Your phone

I watched a sad drama the other day. The story goes like this... Sam was a girl who just got out of a very long relationship after she fell out of love... and to heal from the pain she focused on her work. She did every task given to her so that she could forget her past and move on with her life. One fine day, she noticed a guy named George. George was a funny guy who liked to crack jokes to

Ok....I'm back...After CITA'09 last week, I can say now I'm a bit relaxed. So, off to blogging and continue with my report on my Euro trip.In the bus to Oxford City. We almost missed the bus because in the itinerary did not state exactly which bus stop we should go to. Luckily we arrived early for the day. I had to run with my very hot, hot chocolate cup in my hands to get to the bus stop. But,

If you could see this right now, I'm sure you'll be proud of it.It was sunny and not so windy. Maybe you knew we were coming to visit you. Oh, Serene gave you a present from JB.

I went in Sherip Masahor road (the one going to Hui Sing from BDC roundabout), I saw the two lanes packed with cars.EEkkkssss...First thing crossed my mind, accident kah? And so I stopped behind this red kenari. Cars moved very slow in front, so, it's either I use 1st gear or second gear.

Today is Aba Jang's 40th day after he left us. Yesterday, a few of us went to the Anglican cemetery in Batu Kitang to lit up candles for him. Though it was raining the whole day, we decided to carry on with our plan to go there. We arrived at the cemetery around 3.30pm and there were quite a number of cars parked along the road. Must be a funeral. It was cold and wet out there, luckily I

I came across Sebugey's blog, thanks to Maria. She had posted several pictures of Aba Jang when he was in his happier days and also pictures of his funeral. I hope one day that I can personally thank her for this.
