Yes. Finally, the blessing was given. Welcome!This past weekend was definitely for the kids. Christening, birthday and pre halloween weekend all rolled into one.We were at Big Red Barn last Saturday afternoon. Whilst observing how the party went, I was quite amazed on how some people would spend so much money in throwing a party wherein the celebrator has no idea of the whole deed. It was quite fun though. Seeing people left and right with their kids. I had to admit, I felt exhausted for the guardians and folks of those children whose adrenaline levels were beyond the skyline. AMEN to you all for the infinite patience and blah.As for me, Meng and I met up to watch Max Payne. Gwen was with us as well. We walked the stretch of Gb1 to G4 to catch the film. Fortunately we made it in time. We also managed to chat and catch up on a lot of stuff. Life seems more interesting when you exchange stories from the different worlds of work. Different experiences and views of things lead to a more meaningful and interesting conversation.The movie was injected with tonnes of special effects, but the story was just to thin. The acting of the cast was exemplary, but what more can you get if the story is just shallow and predictable.Sunday was an excellent rest day. I got to catch up with watching my anime, but yeah, I was able to get the much needed rest that helped a lot for my recovery. BTW, the new pizza variant by Pizza hut was good. :) It wasn't to greasy like Yellow Cab and the crust was just right. I'll probably have another order within the week. :)***** ***** ***** *****Music: What's Simple Is TrueArtist: Jewel

It was a good thing that the recent weekend came.Friday marked the last day of a dear friend of mine at work. We planned her farewell dinner at Gerry's Glorietta and things turned out quite right. Afterwards we had coffee and cake to cap the night.People at work were teary of her departure. For me, I wasn't exactly being animose. I just knew that I'd see her around as I always do. We spend time during weekends a lot so, I guess it really was more of a "See you later." We actually hung out yesterday at Greenbelt 3. Had our hair styled and dined at Cafe Bola. From there, we moved to McCafe at Gb1 to grab some dessert. Meng was with us as well. It was the 2nd time that the three of us went out together. Previously, it was a Friday when we had dinner at Iceberg's and watched the film (BLOODY HELL! I CAN'T REMEMBER THE FILM!) at G4.***** ***** ***** *****Mat's grown 2 upper and 2 lower incisors. God! My nephew is growin up and fast. Now I get to witness what its like to take care of someone who is totally dependent and trusting. I pray that he grows up to be a very good kid (in all aspects of the word).***** ***** ***** *****Music: Take A Bow (Ne-yo Go On Girl Remix)Artist: Rihanna***** ***** ***** *****

...I wanna believe its love this timeI wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lieBut with you I can't denyIf I believe in paradiseI swearI'm there...I recall this song during my high school and college days. A song sung by people who's entering relationships and willing to take the multitude of risks that come with it.Personally speaking, it was an overglorified belief in romanticism. However, if I'm the person involved, my head is in cloud 9 and refuses to see the reality. This was something I faced in my early relationships. After the failures came the disinterest and coldness. Its the fear of getting hurt, rejected and all that. A defence mechanism put up to shield myself from all possible pain. We all know that no amount of defence can sheild us from pain, unless we devoid ourselves of emotion. That would mean I'm no longer human.***** ***** ***** *****I'm a bit anxious on the role that I'll be taking on in the next few weeks. Its something that I've been looking for, however back then it would've been in the over protected world of the BPO. Now, it is in the corporate setting. All I ask for is the wisdom and strength to face these challenges with a level head and strong heart. :)Of course the raise would be an excellent reward as well.***** ***** ***** ******Holidays are here again! Christmas songs have started to slowly raid the airwaves whilst malls begun to sell the plethora of Holiday items for deco and more. Traffic at night has gone from bad to worse. A few more weeks and we're into the final phase of the year. Definitely, this is something that I am looking forward to see and partake.***** ***** ***** *****Music: If I BelieveArtist: Patti Austin

Let me join the bandwagon of those who enjoyed the film Eagle Eye.It was definitely an entertaining movie. I saw it last Saturday at G4 on my own. YES! Let it be known that I CAN go to moviehouse on my own and I enjoy it!I was fortunate enough to have been seated next to a good looking gay guy! I smiled at him to show my interest. NR. Hello! Anyway, so I simply focused my attention with the movie.I admit that this movie was unique on its own. It brings about the modern day scare that everything we do is being tracked. No one is safe. There is no such thing as privacy. If that's the case, then we're all doomed.In a positive aspect, oh wait... there's no positive aspect. AI is bound to make plenty of future decisions. However, it will still rely on human thinking to have everything be grounded to reality.***** ***** ***** *****Mat is sooooooo cute. The little bundle of joy has four sets of teeth growing out. This has somehow made him salivate more than usual.Somehow, I see that he is growing up fast. I just hope he gets the care that he needs through and through.***** ***** ***** *****Music: No AirArtist: Jordin Sparks

I finally got hold of the Bahasa lyrics of my favourite Anggun song - Kembali.It is the Bahasa version of A Rose in the Wind. The French version La Rose Des Vents is as nice as the english version. However since Anggun is a native Bahasa speaker, there is a certain exotic element that brings more feelings when singing in her native tongue...Here is the video (french) and lyrics (in French and Bahasa)Anggun - La rose des vents_(by onyx)-1997
Video sent by Ingrid1980 » La Rose Des Vents «
Je suis née à l'envers
Tout au bout de la mer
Dans un lotus ouvert
Aux bras de Shiva Loin de chez toi
J'ai grandi, j'ai rêvé
Aux pays des orchidées Aux masques rouges et dorés
Qui marquent mon âme Aussi fort que tes charmes
Et j'ai suivi le chant de mes veines
Aussi loin que m'entraînent tes pas
J'ai tourné la rose des vents vers tes plaines
Si fort que j'en saigne parfois Loin de chez moi
J'ai appris ton espace
Les saisons froides qui passent Nos coeurs à la surface
Au nord de mes lois Plus au nord que tu crois
Je veux t'emmener là Marcher la tête en bas
Saluer Ganesha Sur les cendres chaudes
De mes rêves émeraude
Et j'ai suivi le chant de mes veines
Aussi loin que m'emmène ta voix
J'ai tourné la rose des vents vers tes plaines
Si fort que j'en saigne parfois
J'ai lâché la rose des vents pour tes signes sur moi
Et je sens ses épines sur moi
Et si je suis fidèle Aux flèches des hirondelles
Aux elfes qui m'ensorcellent
Au nom de ta voix Où que tu sois
J'appellerai toujours La croix du sud au secours
Quand je serai à mon tour
La rose des vents, qui guide les amants
Si j'ai suivi le chant de mes veines
Aussi loin que m'emmène ta voix
J'ai tourné la rose des vents vers tes plaines
Si fort que j'en saigne parfois
Je serai la rose des vents qui parfume
Tes jours et tes lunes
Chez moi, chez moi Kembali (A Rose In The Wind)
Kan ku ingat s'lalu
Sorot mata ituDihantu cemburu
Dalam tatapnya berjuta dugaTeringat selalu
Sorot mata ituTak pernah tahu
Di dalam dada hatiku terluka* Ku ingin kembaliTanpa resah hati dari semua tanyaDan tak akan kupendam lagiCinta ini dari semua yang menyangkaDan tak berhentiKan kucoba mengerti
Semua pertanyaanmuTentang perasaanku
Walau semuanya biasa adanyaT'lah kucoba mengerti
Dan jelaskan dirimuSemua perasaanku
Dengan dirinya, dia yang kucinta**Kuingin kembaliTanpa resah hati dari semua tanyaDan tak akan kupendam lagiCinta ini dari semua yang menyangkaDan biarkan aku kembaliTanpa semua sangsi yang s'lalu merajaDi relung hatiLepaskan diriku
Dari semua dugaDan biarkan aku
Terbang ikuti malam dan pagiJalan masih jauh
Yang harus aku tempuhDan harus aku coba
Meraih asa, cita dan cintaLepaskanku dari semua duga
