AL-FATIHAH

Takziah to Zaffy and family, al-fatihah...

ok ok...

some friends have been complaining that i havent been doing real blogging for some time. cut and paste is not in any way can be categorised as blogging. point taken!

i am glad that some friends have been making some big and significant career moves this year. MBA has moved to a foreign bank recently and my good friend here, MBF has accepted a new corporate undertaking in a well known media company in Malaysia and would start her new work in May. A friend has also successfully brings his company to another level with another Singaporean company recently. Congratulations to all! am happy for all of them!

as for me, am waiting for my shining moments ;-), but alhamdulillah, thats all that i can say ;-)

i think i have a lot to thank for this year and for the past years. i think i do.

on the other note, i wish, in whatever that is happening right this moment, i hope that i am not changing that much as a person that i am. i want to change coz i want to, not because am being asked to, or because i have to in order to comform to other people's lifestyle, expectation or their way of life.

but i know somehow this is not as straight forward as it may sound.

all i want is to be happy. in that, i also want the people around me to be happy. to be happy with me, to see me, to share things with me, to know me.

i know there is a lot of 'me' going around but somehow, i think 'me' is being forgotten somehow and its tough.

Kite Runner

watched the DVD over the weekend and i must say that it was not bad, having read the book last year, of course, the movie has only enhanced the vivid imagination that i had on the total story. but definitely moving. i think the movie has managed to show the power of friendships between two boys despite their social differences. having something in common ties them like brothers and its good to see other people's cultures and history unfolded right in front of you.

despite what Hassan had gone through and what Amir has done to him, he never once hated Amir agha coz he loves him. "For you, A thousand times over" he said....sob sob..

i recommended this to anyone out there. but one soft note on this, please read the book first as the movie, despite the mighty storyline, cinematography, would never do justice to the book itself.

self rating:8.5/10

The Forbidden Kingdom

watched this on Friday with colleagues. fun fun fun. i think there is no dull moment on this movie and its fun to watch, definitely.

self rating:6.5/10

What about NOW?

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now

wowoowowowow!

love robbie's version still tho ;-)
but still this is good!

helo, please see the american idiots who says no to this!

helo my friend...

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

27 Dresses

watched this yesterday with Ms J. it was okay, i didnt like think it is the best movie of the year kinda thing but its okay. love the last part of the movie. very very sweet.

talks about wedding, last 31st March marks my parents 35th wedding anniversary! wow! imagine...i think most of my friends parents are still together. despite their hardships, they stayed together and still going on strong ;-)

self rating of 27 Dresses:5/10

Akademi Fantasia

i think Akedemi Fantasia 6 is crap. i mean, it was less the fun and twice the bosan from all the previous ones. i think AC Mizal is doing his best, but of course at the end of the day he is not Aznil Haji Nawawi.

2 concerts has passed. all songs are forgettable, boring,lack of passion. but i think i like Stacy, she has a good voice and with proper coaching, i think she can be a good singer.

but i think the moment of Akademi Fantasia is 'Perpisahan' by Aizat. i think that was his moment, and that was Akademi fAntasia's best moment, in terms of its students performance. as he didnt managed to butchered my anuar zain's song, i would say that it was brilliant! so bravo!

Long Overdue

seems that i havent been blogging for awhile. a lot of things heppened and even happening, but seems that i dont know how to express it in words nowadays.

regrettably, i havent got the chance the go to the gym as much as i would want it to be. that needs to change as i can feel the extra fats making a comfortable home all around my body.

works has been very demanding lately, meetings until 11pm to 12pm....*SIGH* my brain has actually stopped working by 9pm. all the brain can think of was bed bed bed and food food food.

havent been able to catch up with friends as often and as much as i did before. but we shall try to remedy that i hope.

'old love' seems to appear and said 'hello' and coax me to talk abt the past and on 'what might have been' and the 'i still love you despite all these years'.

it makes me think that life is pretty funny for me at the moment.

while currrent love/relationship seems a bit hard to understand and to work out, its funny when 'old love' and 'admirers' seems to be more than willing to fill up the gap.

to be continued...
