RIP Michael Jackson

May you rest in peace, Michael Jackson

wow tadpoles can fly!

Just in case tadpoles catchers wonder where did all the tadpoles go?




Let me tell you, they were all transported to Japan, like..... few hours ago.

No, they did not fly nor exported to Japan.

See how cute those tadpoles are?

Regardless how cute they are, it is a signal of a disaster coming up to the world because.. It has been raining tadpoles in Japan town just as reported in the news!!! How is it possible that tadpoles are dropping from the sky?

It is possible, because tadpoles has already dropped from the sky in Japan town.


Erm.. let's say, is it possible then to drop some CASH to my balcony then? :D Or maybe drop... IPhones 3G here?

.....



Well, at the other side of the world, Malaysia is facing El Nino, where The Star defined as a climatic condition where abnormal warming of the Pacific Ocean causes dry weather in South-East Asia and northern Australia.

No wonder people has been complaining how hot it is in Malaysia!

Is the world started to change? Or has it been changing already?

Together with the emergence of the pandemic swine flu, this world is already facing its RISK.

No wonder...... even my skin can sense the environmental changes..

Dream Again

I haven't seen my Baby in so long
But I can feel her in this song
I turn on the stereo,the groove is nice and slow
If only she was here to dance along

I write her letters every single day
There's only so much words can say
We'll be together soon
I'm dancin' in my room
Imagining you're not so far away

And I dream again
You're right by my side
You're back in my arms again
A feeling so sublime

So I dream again
Your beautiful smile
When we're dancin' cheek to cheek
Across a thousand miles (yeah)

My Baby hasn't seen me in so long
And she knows I'd never do her wrong
She turns on the stereo, the Stevie tunes I know
Wishing I was there to dance along

And she dreams again
I'm right by her side
I'm back in her arms again
A feeling so sublime

So she dreams again
of hearing the sound
of sweet nothings late at night
With no one else around yeah

And when the night is over
The loneliness is through
I know in my heart that you're my everything
I'll never love another
As long as I have you
So tell me that we can last forever

Xin Tiao

Has my heart stopped beating?

No, I think it is still beating for u.

Baby I'm Yours.

I still recalled, how I felt,
When I first left my hometown by myself,
How deep you looked into my eyes,
And you told me that you will wait for me.

It was just a day when I thought it was already a month
since I last met you.
I'm dying so much to hold your hand
like how you used to hold my hand.

It was already decades now,
That we are still in the same position.
Are we just used to being like this?
Or are we just afraid to change?

The nearer I am to you,
the further we are.
The more we love each other,
the more suffering we get.
But deep inside our heart,
we know that we need each other.

How much I miss you?

love finds you in memories

Me and you
How to compare in this lifetime?
Me and you
Almost together forever
The time and place we unexpectedly meet
Is like a drama
Doesn't know where to start

Love is too heavy
Not enough air to breathe in
Love is too beautiful
Lightly yet unable to carry it
When love arrived
It's just like a beautiful weather
When love is gone
It suddenly changed into blizzard rainstorm

If I could hate you
Painfully hate you with all my strength
Hiding and evading when we encounter
It's because wanting to let you go
But still missing you
Who is more miserable than I am
Fearing being reminded of the past
No matter how hard the arms are stretched
There is still distance between us

You are far away
How to say I'm sorry
You are very near
Yet suddenly left in split second
Maybe happiness is too brief
Like a meteor shower
In a blink of the eye
Feels like a mirage yet afraid to remember

I rather heartlessly hate you
I'm still searching for you in my memories

What's the "in thing" now?

OH. Did anyone notice something new in my layout?

:P

let's talk about hair

Hey everyone!

I've something up for you guys. Actually not from me, but from New Idea, Australia. :D

I reckon a lot of your friends or relatives actually washed their hair EVERY DAY or TWICE A DAY, which is in the morning and at night. Worst still, you were told that you are not hygienic for not washing hair every day. Sounds familiar?

Well, I browsed the internet once I woke up and saw this little column of hair beauty myths! I love myths..! Just kidding.

Ok. So the first point that were mentioned is Washing your hair every day.

Actually hor, there's no need to wash your hair everyday as you will end up striping away its natural oil. I love my hair the very next day I washed and I don't end up washing it every day. Maybe 2 days once will do? Because I'm using Redken dandruff shampoo, it clears my oily scalp and by washing my hair every 2 days, my scalp oil grows and I felt more moistured the next day-loh.

Second point: Blow-drying soaking wet hair

I blow my hair once I washed my hair and due to my lack of knowledge of hair then, I had tremendous scary hair loss. Since then, I was introduced to use Redken anti thinning shampoo and it works! Really. It was worth to buy if you love your hair. So, before you blow your hair, assure that it's towel dried to about 80% and then blowed it and scrunch dry hair with your hand rather than using a brush. I love using hand to style my hair too. That's like innate comb!

There's actually another 2 points. And I have to cite the site, betul?
Source from: http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/b/newidea/22776/hair-and-now/

ps: Just in case you wonder if I'm using Redken products, the answer is YES! I love Redken and I have 4 of its products which is Dandruff shampoo, for thinning hair shampoo, volume12 ultra straight balm and volume 1 smoothing serum. Among all, volume 12 is my favourite top 1. Tame my bloody frizzy hair. :D



So, how often do you guys washed your hair? Do comment and share about it!

GONG HEI FATT CHOY!!

Tiger has non-existent flight ?

Remember on November my sister and I booked 2 faulty one way tickets from to Canberra from Melbourne?

My sister sent me an article of this lady who had almost the same incident.

According to SMH, this woman booked on a non-existent flight with Tiger knowing that the flight did not exist when she went to the counter early in the morning.

How could an airline company have such error yet refuse to make a full refund to the lady? Now, the world is very realistic that people go to the press or blog about it once they encounter dissatisfaction.

I also mentioned in my previous post that not everyone checked their email and indeed, the lady felt the same way. Tiger or any other company should've text their customers the most efficient way.

True enough, this just waste the customers' time and money to get another flight.

I don't know if other airline company has the same problem, however this need to be addressed quickly.

Lessons to learn: Cheap things don't necessarily conclude well.

Red by Marc Ecko

Please please,

If anyone knows where I can get this shoe, please tell me. I'm dying to get that sneaker. It's called Red by Marc Ecko endorsed by Vanessa Hudgens.

I went to KL a year ago and a year later and I was told it is not marketed in Malaysia yet. WTH right?

So, please please, if it's in Melbourne or KL... do do do TELL ME, k??

where is the statue of liberty?

I was educating Branda on some general knowledge that she may not learn at her kindergarten now.

“Branda, this is called the Statue of Liberty. Now, where do you find the Statue of Liberty?” I asked.

I expect her to tell me New York or US.

She pondered for a while, and replied me.

“I know, Genting!”

“Genting?”

“I saw this at Genting Highland ma…. :D”

I was stunned, but at least I know it really exist in Genting Highlands. Haha.

reminiscence

Upon reaching Changi Airport from Melbourne, my visions were blurred.

I was weary.

In fact, I couldn’t even recall what happen through my way back home.

“I reached Singapore airport, at last!” I thought to myself.

But, what is it that is so thrilled about?

>.<

random is good.

The advertisement in the 20^th century is full of astonishing elements.

I was in my university’s toilet when I came across this notice..

LOL. The advertisement was even accompanied by a poem..?

And, a mixed of languages?

This hilarious fella must be an Indo guy.

The adver just makes me keep thinking of it...

going solo?

Let me share something useful for my fellow readers, especially GIRLS.

And yes I mean you. You. YOU.

Jo Lamble - Going solo

Oct 22 11:13am

Whether you're single or your partner's unavailable, going to a wedding or party alone can be very daunting. Here's how to get through the event without feeling awkward:

■ Keep the anticipation in check

Worrying too far in advance won't help. Remember, the anticipation of something scary is usually worse than the event itself.

■ Warn the hosts beforehand

If the hosts know you'll be on your own, they can make an effort to help you feel comfortable by introducing you to the other guests.

■ Wear something that makes you feel really good

Now's not the time to test out a new style. Bring out the trusty little black dress or the outfit that always pulls the compliments.

■ Plan topics of conversation

When we're feeling nervous, small talk can be difficult. So, on your way to the party, think of a few interesting stories you could tell and a couple of good questions to ask other guests.

■ Consider your arrival time

The idea is to not draw too much attention to yourself. If it's a large gathering, arriving half an hour late should ensure the party's well under way. If it's a dinner party, don't be more than 10 minutes late or you'll certainly be noticed.

■ Limit your alcohol intake

A glass or two of champagne can help to ease your nerves, but four or five glasses can be a disaster when combined with anxiety.

■ Help the hosts

A really good way to circulate without feeling conspicuous is to take around a tray of food or offer to top up glasses. You can introduce yourself as you mingle, but you don't have to linger in any one conversation. Make a mental note of the people you found easy to chat to as you move around so you can come back to them.

■ Take some photos

At weddings or large parties, an easy way to take the pressure off meeting people is to take heaps of photos. Once again, you can strike up conversations as you go. The hosts will also be grateful when they see the results.

■ Take a breather in the bathroom

Whenever you need a break, excuse yourself and spend five minutes in the bathroom reapplying your make-up or brushing your hair. You'll exit feeling refreshed and ready to begin again.

■ Focus on the positives

If you're single, tonight might be the night you meet the man or woman of your dreams - or at least the person who might introduce you to him or her. If your partner is unavailable for the night, going alone gives you the freedom to talk to who you want, stay as long as you want and, most importantly, leave when you're ready to.

And I reckon this article is specially targeting for girls who are going to a party or wedding dinner ALONE.

This actually gets me back to the reminiscence of Cheryl’s birthday, a new friend I had in the first semester here. It wasn’t that terrible in my case as I had Elisabeth to accompany me. But, that isn’t the point. I cannot expect her to stick with me at all times. In order to take the initiative, I started on a conversation with few friends whom I was introduced to and we talked about our country of origin and the holiday spots at our homeland. The conversation went on and we kept in touch since then.

I believed starting a simple topic makes the conversation to flow easily.

And. Remember your confidence, girls.

This is a simple advice from me : Do not isolate yourself and wait for people to approach you.

The Winner Takes It All

After years of not getting myself interested into English musics, I was astounded by the voice of a Vietnamese guy who joined the Australian Idol 09: Thanh Bui.

Not knowing this guy? He was one of the member in the Melbourne based band:North.

I bet not many of us heard North, until I listened to one of their music which I don't know what the title is, but for sure, that's the song I liked when I was small.

Last few weeks, he sang his paramount song aka 'jackpot' song: The Winner Takes It All buy ABBA.

Gosh, I'm so in love with the moment he played the piano while singing the song. Isn't the song seem tad rock in its original? Thanh sang it sadly, and it was sooo nice that I can't find a word to say.

Anyway, really hope that he's the winner of this so that I can buy his album... (:

Why is the Australian dollar so low if our economy is so strong?

This month marked the worst financial crisis for Australia, isn't it? With the decrease of interest rate and the depreciation of currency, Australia is certainly at a risk. With currency at 3.1 when I first came here in Melbourne in February, dad and mum had to turn a blind eye to buy the Aussie dollar to pay school fees. Even every parents did the same thing. When my elder sister came to Australia 8 years ago, it was 2.5. Now, it's 3.1. It makes a huge different when a big sum of money is dealt.

October, the month when I was born, seem to be a bad one for Australia. The big companies, especially, lived in fear. Governments and the PM had sleepless night to stabilize the country's economic growth. And..

the big news is here. The Aud currency has devalued. From 3.1 to 2.25. Australians were frustrated and sad, whilst, parents of many international students were jumping for joy for saving hundreds, or maybe thousands, for paying the uni fees.

Besides blaming this to the US financial crisis last month, why is the Australian dollar so low if the economy is so strong? Let Kochie (2008) explains this to you :

Why is the Australian dollar so low if our economy is so strong?
This is the case for two reasons. Firstly overseas investors see Australia as a big quarry, and as a result they link our currency to commodity prices. Because commodities have gone down, the Aussie dollar has also been marked down.

The second reason is overseas investors are pulling their money out. This is because of the drop in interest rates, which means investor money is getting a lower rate of return sitting in Australia. It's also because they're probably facing a bit of financial pressure at home, so they're moving their money home to help prop themselves up.
