Five Things You Don't Know About Me

Yep, another tag from Anie (I wonder where she is now...miss you pare!!). So, 5 things you don't know about me..

Cynta Fact #1

I am dreadfully scared of "singa".
Everytime I hear the "tung-tung-CHANG!!!" drums from afar, I start to get nervous. If it happens to be "dancing" and "prancing" in a shopping mall, I'll get anxious and I want to leave.

Cynta Fact # 2

I love to think
Sometimes, I tend to overanalyse and then get myself into trouble.

Cynta Fact #3
I once sang for over 500 people...LIVE.
This is one of my "dare to dream" project where I promised myself I would do something that breaks through my norms and boring routines. My cousin and I did a duet, and I did a solo on one song...it was one of the most embarassing yet exhilirating moment.

Cynta Fact # 4
I eat fish head
sampai ke tulang terakhir!! Sia hisap2 tu tulang sampai kering. Sedap bah...apa lagi lau kita makan matanya and otaknya...yummy!!

Cynta Fact #5
I sleep with the lights on.
Except when I have company. Guntalau bah sia ni...ada2 ja sia terimagine lau gelap2 dlm bilik sorang2.

Nah, there you have it. The 5 things you don't know about me...quite predictable, right?hehe

My favourite CyberShot moment

I'm digging this picture becos i adore the clear blue skies on top of their heads. I used my Sony Ericsson k800i camera phone to take dis pic. I lurve d resolution and d sharpness of d camera phone. Too bad i have unsteady hands to capture dis pic, but all's well. ;-)

My holiday activities

Honestly, I don't have anything interesting to blog about. I'm doing it to distract myself..HAH!
Whatever..anyways..I'm enjoying every nanoseconds of my one week Chinese New Year holiday because I know I might not have the chance to balik kampung in February.

Here goes...

*I oogle over Rain, get undead crazy with Edward Cullen, watch TV and drink a big mug of coffee. Life's great when you relax and just chill*

*I worked on a few potential songs, mostly inspired by Darcy. I don't know why he had such an impact in my creative musings*

*Catched up with my male best friend at Fish&Co. Dude, you still owe me your half of the bill, hehehe*

*Balik kampung and pungut angpow, almost came home empty handed*

*Browse Korean Market*

I think I need a life.

Gong xi fa cai!!

Here's to wishing all of you a happy Chinese New Year! I wished all happiness, prosperity and peace be with you and me.

A novena prayer that never fails

Holy Spirit, You who made me see everything and showed me
the way to reach my ideal. You who gave me the divine
gift to forgive and forget the wrong done to me, and You
who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this
short dialogue, want to thank you for everything and
confirm once more that I never want to be separated from
You no matter how great the material desire may be. I want
to be with you and my loved ones in Your Perpetual Glory.
Thank you for Your Love towards me and my loved ones.
Amen.

(Pray this prayer for 3 days without asking for your
request. After the third day, the request will be granted
no matter how difficult. Promise to publish this dialogue
as the request is granted).

Merentas desa

23rd Jan 2009 marks the first time i joined merentas desa as a bench warmer. Hehe. Actually my job was as a timekeeper for Lelaki B category and to get d time score for d 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

Beware...Cynta in Love..

Yes, I do have my jiwang karat moments.

I stumbled upon this lovely song when I was channel surfing this morning. When I heard it, I fell in love with it immediately. It's purely coincidental that yours truly is already snatched from the single market and then came this song ;-)



Here's the clip...

Shimizu Shota - Aishiteru (I love You)




Here's the lyric and below is the song's English translation

"What are you doing ?" Your lovely voice Sounds out over the phone
I'm hesitating to say those words, to say That I love you

Hey baby

It's something that can't be seen with the Eyes
But I'm worried because it seems like I Might lose it
When your voice gets cut off
My pained heart is always crying out

"I love you" I love you
I'm just one guy, but I don't want to lose You
We're always searching for the meaning of Happiness beneath the same sky

You're thinking, you're smiling
Those irreplaceable days have passed by Before I even realized it

Hey baby

From meeting you, I learned that we live our Lives supporting one another
Chasing after the passing clouds, we're Living our lives together

I love you, if you're here
Then I'm not scared, even though I can't see Anything of the future
Saying "it's okay", I get close to you and Kiss you; Happiness will definitely come one Day

You cried everytime that we fought, but I Told you that I loved you
No matter how much I scream and cry, I can't Manage to grow up
I don't know if I can be happy
I act tough, but I haven't told you a single Lie
Oh baby, I just love you

"I love you" I love you
I'm just one guy, but I don't want to lose you
We're always searching for the meaning of Happiness beneath the same sky

I love you, I love you
Our words are piling Up
The summer sky gently envelops us
Right Now, happiness is right here



For Uncle :-)

Cynta and her Car dilemma

I've been thinking to upgrade my ride.

So far, I'm saving up for that BIG downpayment. Man, I've got a long, long way to go. Although I am torn between having a car or investing on a piece of property, the young blood running through my veins keep beckoning me to go for that RIDE!!

I know that my Kancil licik has been a faithful companion ever since I was in my second year foundation, but now that my youngest brother is back, he'll need the ride. But I won't be getting that ride now, because I planned to pay off a majority of the downpayment first.

But here are the cars that I might consider:

Honda City

Toyota Rush

Hyundai Getz

Toyota Yaris

Hyundai Elantra

Kia Optima Sedan


I think BIG eh? hehehehe

It'll just be a matter of time whether I'd still like one of the above as THE new ride. But let me just shop around for the ideal loan and save for that big downpayment first.

Heheheh

I'm feeling sick and tired.

The gung-ho teacher had finally raised a white flag.

I feel so tired of running around the school and throwing my voice to an ocean of students. I feel like a fever is coming.

My face looks so sullen and pale. Even my favourite lipstick doesn't seem to work its magic. Maybe I have been trying to be a superwoman, only at the end I am defeated and nearly crushed by mountains and mountains of books and papers. I'm just so damn tired!!!

Today's Obama's inauguration day! Let's hope we'll get the change we have been dreaming of.

Sundays are the best...

Finally, it's Sunday and I'm contemplating to laze around on the couch afterwards. After I finished my work, that is. There is just a lot to do, especially when it comes to students' registrations, their textbooks, SMMs...the list just go on and on. At least I have the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday to look forward to.

For now, that's all I have. The day had just begun and who knows what else it may bring. I'll keep you posted.

SAVE THE KANCIL!!!!!!

As I was packing my books and my work to be brought home (there goes my Do Nothing Day), a prefect dashed towards me and said hurriedly, "Teacher!!! Ada orang mau bergaduh sanaaaaa depan kantin!!!!!!!"

I gasped in horror.

MY KANCIL!!!! MY KANCIL LICIK IS PARKED THERE!!!!!!

My immobile Kancil, my closest partner in crime (apart from my usual girlfriends) might be in grave danger of juvenile violence.

Immediately, I dropped all the books and other paperwork on my table and dashed out from the staff room. I ran with all my might (jan la kamu picaya sangat sebab sia kontrol ayu juga, just for dramatic effect...nanti apa kata cigu lelaki baru yang comel tu if I run amok) to where my Kancil was parked. At a distance, I saw segerombolan budak sekolah gathered around near where my car was parked. I dashed towards my car as I fear the worst.

"LARRRRIIIIIII!!!! CIGU DATANGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!" cried one of the misfits.

Apa lagi. Berlarian bah tu budak-budak.

Phew....

Nasib si Kancil teda apa-apa!!! Muahmuah...I promise I will park you somewhere safe and away from those good for nothing misfits.

Ain't Missus BrightSide

Today I spent most of my two teaching period mengamuk.

Maybe I've told all of you that I'm the class teacher of a notorious Form 2 class named "Ideal". No, they ain't "ideal" students nor are they an ideal classroom. I don't know why I was assigned to this class at the first place. I think it was karma...I am being punished over actions that I don't have any idea of doing. I think.

Anyways...
If murder is not one of the capital sins or if our soul can be bought at any boutique, saloon or even kadai 2 ringgit, I might have killed all of them. Well, maybe not all but those sembilan jahanam will be executed or electrocuted first. I know I am not supposed to think like this but these nine SO*s have crossed the bounds of my patience.

And for the first time in my teaching life, I shot a blackboard eraser at one of them.
My textbook at another.
I crumpled the book belonging to one.
The six? They chickened out.

What they did you may ask?

Oh, well.

Apart from the usual tertinggal buku excuse, for those who read To Sir, With Love by Braithwaite, you'll get the idea. Just one thing tho', if characters like Denham found salvation, salvation eludes these nine students of mine. Other teachers gave them chance after chance after chance, yet they are still as cocky, as egoistic, as devillish.

They don't give us teachers the respect we gave to them.

What am I to do?

I just wanna celebrate~!!

WoOooOooTTTT!!!!!

I lost 5 kg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate Mondays.

I'm still reeling from the weekend. It's a rainy day here thus makes my laziness all the worse. I need more coffee!!!

Luckily my RPHs were all done, thanks to a renewed spirit after a DNDay. I should do it more often hehehe...

There's nothing much to tell about me today. I'm still looking for that breaking news that can make me a rich blogger hehehehe...

Yiiihaaaaaa...End of Week One!!

This calls for a celebration!!!

I declare today as "Do Nothing Day"!!!

A day where I just enjoy the Friday night with the Astro remote in my hands and lying on the couch with my PJs; eating ice-cream from the mini market and drink orange juice directly from the carton...

A day where I just do nothing and not feeling guilty about it...

To hell with work...

Let it burn. There's always tomorrow...

Tonight I just procastinate and just let it take control...

This is the day I choose to switch off the phone and just be at peace with the blaring TV or maybe my new MP3...

Rather than sit at boring conversations about work, kids, debts or concerns about the world...

Tonight I just want to hug Piggie and think nonsense...

Maybe I'll dance around to Earth, Wind and Fire songs...
if I have the energy to lift my butt off the couch...

And whenever I feel like my eyes no longer can tolerate...

I just sleep away my night and get up at noon...

I love this decree...

From now on, every Friday night to Saturday midnight is
DO NOTHING DAY
or
TO HELL WITH WORK TODAY!!

Yiiiihaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Mana suda tu remote sia? Eh, sini pula bawa ketiak...

First Day of School

5th January 2009 - the first day of school. Thank God I came through alive!! Hmmm..so far, I have several new responsibilities. Apart from being the class teacher of Form 2 "Ideal", I am also Guru SMM, Guru Penasihat Tenis and Pencinta Alam, S/U Peperiksaan Dalaman, the list just go on and on.

I want to keep my mouth shut, but to who else can I vent this anger? There was this colleague yang minta puji pandai2 pi tukar kerja orang bah without telling or discussing with me. Mauuuuuuuuuu juga bah kasi susa hidup orang!!! Apa salah discuss sama tuan punya badan dulu? Bu***h!!

She thought I am a shy teacher who can be bullied easily. Oh, yeah? Kau tingu la bisuk...I'll show you my true colours...let me unleash my Bi**ch side...what? You think I got none?

Never judge a girl with spectacles as a geek with no dignity.

Boring...boring...boring...

I am at the highest, stupidest level of boredom ever imagined. I realised the importance of THE BOX and Astro. I don't have the mood to work, the mood to watch and rewatch the DVDs I brought along. I don't have the mood to play Yahoo Games like we used to do when we were in UiTM.

Boringggggggggggggggggggggg
Boringggggggggggggggg
Boringggggggg
Boring!!

Sia teringat-ingat pula si Mr.Darcy and si Daddy Long Legs. Beginilah ni kalau boring. WHo are they, you may ask. Well, they are real people except that to expose their real names (and their picture) in the web would result me in a vulnerable position of exposing my actual feelings for these two people. Hence, the pseudonyms or aliases for these two gentlemen.

Let me tell you about Darcy and Daddy Long Legs. Darcy is my crush...the crush I had since 2007. Why I call him Darcy? I aliased him as Darcy because I don't really know his real feelings for me. At one time, he seemed so into me...but after some time, he went into THE CAVE and caved in there for a while. Another reason is because he had a sexy gaze which could melt my heart and make me weak at the knees. He is also a good friend and I trust him. Why do I got a crush on a guy who seem "Hot and Cold"? Because with him, I can be myself. I can tell him my secrets and I feel so at home with him. And my gut tells me that he feels the same way too.

Now, Daddy Long Legs. Daddy Long Legs is this mysterious, middle age man I met by chance at a shop. He is old, but not as old as my dad...jan bimbang. He is dashingly handsome and complete with a sexy accent to complement his boyish look. He reminds me of Harrison Ford and Richard Gere. He often calls and sends me emails because he is a "jetsetter" (kunun). Last month, he treated me to dinner. A proper one, not at fast food joints or any walk-in restaurant. Why do I think of him? I don't know. For comparison with Darcy, kot? Or is it because he say wants to see me again?

Darcy or Daddy Long Legs?

I have a feeling that Darcy wants me to make the first move. And my intuition tells me that Daddy Long Legs wants to be romantically involved. But what if I bare my soul to Darcy only to find that my feelings were unrequited? What if I continue seeing Daddy Long Legs only to realise that I don't have deep feelings for him? What if I didn't take a chance with Darcy and realised that I made a mistake? I like Daddy Long Legs for his wisdom and friendship, but not as a potential boyfriend. Nanti sia kena tuduh jadi gold-digger nanti...

I think I think too much...

Bagus sia pi cuci kain.

Back to Work!!

Here I am in the midst of a sea of parents, frantically registering their Form One wannabes. Luckily I got the geek section of the registration i.e. the SMM!! So, instead of dealing with angry, disgruntled and "blur sotong" parents, I only have to collect the BMM form and smile and say thank you...ohya, also check the forms for mistakes, etc. Then I have to key in those details into the SMM system. It's kinda a convinience for me too cos this year I am going to assume the role of a class teacher, so having the system ready in my laptop makes my life easier when it comes to keying in my kids data.

Today I was quite pissed off with the administration of the registration. Berlagak ja kunun mau sedia itu ini, then told us that everything will start at 7am. Nasib the parents here were quite patient with the lack of system. SUdahlah "Ketua" dia lambat datang, trus pandai2 lagi tu marah2 other pendaftars there. SUdahlah they all turun in the last weekday of the holiday to help out, nda berterima kasih lagi tuh!! Bukan sia mau tembirang ka apa, tapi bagus lagi waktu kami buat seminar dulu...kami lagi awal2 sampai dari peserta. Ini? the parents were there even earlier!! Tables and chairs pun nda tersedia. Senarai pun belum ada...haiiii...well, better diam2 cos nanti I would experience the same thing and another person would blog about it...hehehehe

We have not moved in to our new house yet due to some difficulties from the former tenant. C'mon lah uncle, we all want to settle down ASAP!! Just give us the damn keys and be thankful ada orang mau sewa ur house.

Then again, complaining ja my kerja today hehehe...

Have a nice day everyone cos I have a holiday in my head ;-)

Au Revoir 2008, Hola 2009

"The year is gone but it has also made us strong.
The path was long but we walked it with a song.
There were fears and tears but we also had reasons for cheers.
Wishing you Happy Memories of 2008 and have a GREAT 2009"


So said the wise words from an SMS I received. 2008 has indeed came to a close with so many lessons learnt and memories to linger. In a more personal note, 2008 has been a great year for me where it began with uncertainty and ended with a new beginning. I can't believed that I actually survived this hectic year. Wow!!!

My resolution this year is so many I just wished I could do it with finesse. But no more of those "I want to lose 10kg" types of resolution...to hell with that!!! HAHAHAHA

So...
Bring on 2009...
Give me, hit me with everything you got!!!
