I guess that crazy man must be Nadal's big fan, huhuhuhuhuhu. The incident looked funny but I think Roland Garros should increase their security. That man was able to touch Federer OK!! by rubbing Fede's head with a flag & it took quite sometimes until the security put him down, huhuhuhu. Luckily he didn't do anything dangerous to my federer. I couldn't imagine if he harm federer like what happened to Monica Selles few yrs ago when Steffi Graff's fan stabbed Monica's back.
Anyway, I am so happy he won the French open. this is the second time I saw him crying. The first time was when he won Wimbledon 2 yrs ago. Can't wait for the Wimbledon tournament in about 3 wks time, hohohoo.
I think B&S is the series that I like the most & tonight's episode is really the best. Aargghhh. I was really stress when watching it tonight and can't wait to know what is going to happen next. But I couldn't wait until next week & what else could I do except Google it, hehehhe.
Tonight's episode was Troubled Water & I never expected the ending was gonna be like that. Earlier in that episode I was really worry about Tommy & Holly. I don't like Holly but she is very smart. I was really afraid if she does something that will ruin the Walker's family and suddenly, at the end it was about kitty & robert. Anyway, I think it is somehow related to my current situation. Kitty and Robert are expecting their adopted baby. The birth mother was in labour but Robert, as a politician has something very important to attend & missed the most important moment. kitty was so frustrated & she almost gave up to their marriage, considering she had sacrificed so many things to Robert. For her, this baby thing is very important that both of them must be there during the delivery. but her mother Nora changed her mind (I think) & I hope there's nothing bad (divorce) happen between them. What made me really shocked was Robert got a heart attack on his way to the hospital & at the same time the baby came out. My, my....I was really scared & actually still scared. I always complaining at syawal saying that I am always no.2 in his life as other things always come first. He is always bz with something else (study,club,hobbies,frens, etc,etc,etc) & as a result, I always falling for whatever his excuses. Anyway, what happened to Kitty & Robert tonight.....I hope it won't happen to me.
I took the quiz on the ABC website & really glad to find out I am like rebecca. I wish I could be like Kitty (by Calista Flockhart). Anyway I am always a fan Calista Flockhart, actually since Ally McBeal series.
p/s: Today is actually the baby's due date but I guess it's not going to happen. When?? So far... no sign at all. During syafique, it was 4 days delay. Well... just wait & see. I just hope for easy, short & less painful labour process. Other than that I don't really mind.
1st of all... I kinda like the title of this entry as it actually consist lots of stories behind it, at least for me.
**My new Swaroszki ring, :)**
As I mentioned in this entry, I wanted to reward myself of my little tiny achievement. So... what did I do?? No big thing... I went to watch a movie at a cinema with Syawal. A movie that I've been waiting for so long.... Confession of a shopaholic. A movie that has been adapted from the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, my fav author. I've told syawal I wanted to watch this movie since last year and he must watch it with me. Well, I would say it's like a date for us as we seldom go out together, just the two us. & of course we have to go during syafique's skool time, *wink3x*.
The show was at 12.30pm & we're already there at 12pm. Since both of us had not eaten yet, so we took our brunch there. I just had yummy2 spicy onion rings as I planned to buy pop corn later & syawal had vegetarian breakfast. The potatoes in his b'fast set were really tasty. Anyway, whenever you go out with Syawal, eating outside is compulsory & with me who is a big eater, we're really make a good team, hikhikhik.
After bought our popcorn & pepsi, we entered exactly at 12.30pm, the 1st show of the day. As expected, the place wasn't full at all & most of them were women. I think there were only 2 men in there. So.. how's the movie??? Love it, love it, love it & syawal has the same thought too *yey*. When I asked him to accompany me, he didn't really keen to follow as he knew it is a 'girl' story. But since I really wanted to watch it, he just followed. Me too, was a bit skeptical on can they make this movie as fun as the novels. Indeed they can. While watching it, I kept remembering every scene in the novels. It was the combination of all the best parts from the shopaholic series. 'Luke Brandon' is really handsome + macho. Again, when u watch a'girl' story with men, they always have different view, huh. But who cares, right???
By the time the movie was over, it was just nice for us to pick up syafique from skool. And the other best thing.... a fren gave us delicious nasi dagang so I didn't have to cook :), hikhikik. Plus I was very hungry after the movie as I only had onion rings & pop corn.
I love watching TV :). Yes... very much. Blame it to UK, a dull country at least for me. You've nothing much to do here & that leave you to sit infront of TV most of the times. However, I never found watching TV is wasting time. Believe it or not I got different values from each series that I follow. I watch some of them with Syawal, like 24, DH. Even syafique knows all my fav. series & he is very sporting about it.
Anyway.... I want to share about my experience watching DH with syawal. 1st of all, I like this latest season of DH compared to the previous one. Everybody knows that DH is about wives & their hubbys. My highlight is about Gaby & Carlos. I think I understand how Gaby feels after Carlos got his sight back but Syawal didn't agree with me. He said Gaby is just like other materialistic women & I totally, totally not agree with him. Well, we have different opinion on this matter. Men & women are really different in their way of thinking!!! For me, I think Carlos is selfish and never appreciate what Gaby had done when he was blind. We women just want to be appreciated & that is what I keep telling syawal. Like us, I don't mind doing everything but I just hope little appreciation in return. Luckily, syawal understands that eventhough sometimes..yes, he's a bit blunt, huuhuhhuh.
Ok... back to the series. If you ask me which one I like the most?? My answer... I like all of them, especially series on life experience (DH, B&S, GA, DSM, GG). Luckily, If I miss one of them, I can always go online. That is what I did when we went to Inns 2 wks ago. I had to manage my time, to finish my writing + caught up to all the missing episodes. Of course I managed to do them at the same time, hehheheheh
So my TV schedule, starting from Today...
Wednesday: Gossip Girl: 9 - 10pm: ITV2
Thursday: American Idol: 9 - 10pm: ITV2+1 Grey's Anatomy: 10 - 11pm: Living Brothers & Sisters: 11 - 12pm: More4+1
Friday: NCIS: 9 - 1pm: Five Criminal Minds: 10 - 11pm: Living
Tuesday: CSI Vegas: 9 - 10pm: Five Ghost Whisperer: 10 - 11pm: Living
This is just the list of my must-watch-programme at nights. I also watch other replay series in the evening....Friends, Will&Grace, Charmed, House, Ghost Whisperer, etc,etc,etc.
Also.... not forget to mention other Malay dramas that I watch online. Apart from my PhD work, my life is full with this stuff & it keeps me happy & always looking forward for the next day. I wonder will I watch all these Malay dramas when I am in M'sia later?? We'll see :)
Got to go now. I have to get ready as am having a date with syawal shortly *wink3x*.
Syawal & me worry a lot about Syafique. I really hate to say it but I have to admit it.... he is a crier (read 'kememeh' in Malay), *sigh*. yes, he cries over everything/nothing. We discuss about this again and again. I think we've tried every possible approach (harsh,soft, etc,etc) but no success. However, there was one time I thought the problem was over but I was wrong.
I noticed that it will happen if he has a long holiday. For example like last christmas holiday. I think it's getting worse lately like this morning, he cried when we took him to school. Last night, he cried too when I asked him to stop playing computer. *Aaarrrghh*. Me is someone who don't know how to use soft approach. My high pitch voice will easily come when I am piss off/fed up/arguing with something. And of course my voice made him cried even louder, *huh*. Normally, he just cry at school when his frens (read: girls) tease/laugh/etc,ect at him. Ooooooh, I really don't know what else to do to overcome this problem.
I did some googling just now about this matter and in my surprise, it's not just me who face this problem. In fact, there quite numbers of parents who are facing the same problem. One of the responses really caught my interest & maybe I could implement it to Syafique too. One thing I know I will never give up, given that we may be going back to m'sia soon where I can see the situation will very different from here.
Well it sounds like she's wanting attention. Did you start doing more things with your son a few months back. I noticed you mentioned potty training, it could be things like this that make her feel like she's not involved anymore.This COULD be a phase, the reason I say could is because its up to you to turn it into one. If you let her keep doing it, she'll do it for as long as she can. The older she gets, the harder it will be to stop.Ours went through the same thing, she still does every now and then. I finally snapped and started telling her if she couldn't act like a big girl she could go cry in her room because no one wants to hear it. I also explained that crying isn't going to solve problems that I couldn't fix, that it only upsets me and makes me mad. (Like your juice box thing, if you have no more juice boxes a magic one isn't going to drop from the sky). So between those too things either she stops crying fairly quickly, (catches herself and stops). Or we send her to her room to whine and cry so we don't have to listen to it. You can also try time out. I know it seems harsh to punish a kid for wanting something or being upset, but there gets a point when they need to know the behavior is unexceptable. i.e. at walmart.
On other different thing, we're still waiting for our visa renewal to come back from the home office. I really hope they'll come back very soooon as I can't start my travel arrangement for my 'fishing trip' yet. I afraid if I book the flight/accomm now, what if some problems occur & we can't make it. Maybe I can try to give the home office a call later, ask them about the progress. Seriously, I shouldn't think of it too much but it's really hard not to think about it as I really looking forward for this trip. Hmmmmm.... I only can wait now :(.
My thesis is another thing that make me stress too, I think. Now I am working on the chapters that I have to re-write mmostly everything, but I haven't got the idea on what to write. Aaaaarrgghhh. I've looked at them since this morning and until now still not moving anywhere.
The only thing that make me happier is Australian Open. Last weekend, spent most of my time watched them. Last thursay, accidentatlly I found out I could watch them on BBC interactive. Gosh... how I enjoy tennis very much compared to other sports. However, sadly, Murray didn't make it to the next round. Tomorrow Federer will be played in qtr final match & hope he'll move to the next round.
Ok..it's time for me to get back to work. I feel much better now even though just a litle *sigh*
Seriously... I think I've been watching TV a lot since I came here to UK. There are lots of series that I've been following religiously. Luckily syawal has set a rule for syafique, no TV after 7pm. Most of my stories are at night, so I don't have to compete with him. What more, if he cry at school for whatever reasons, he can't watch TV, play game/computer at all for that day which is even better for me b'cos I could watch Charmed at the evening again & again, hikhikhikhik. Syafique too, knows all the series that I watch and I think he enjoy watching them too. easy said... the TV is mine so don't bother to disturb whenever I watch TV. Luckily, syawal goes to office at night :) & syafique must go to bed by 9pm.
There are 7 nights in a week & I have different series to watch every night. Like at the moment.... Mon night: 24, Tues: CSI Vegas, Wed: Gossip Girl, Thurs: Grey's Anatomy, Brothers & Sisters, American Idol, Fri: NCIS, Sat: CSI NY and Sun: Any movies. See... how bz am I with all these series. In my defense... tell me what else can I do. hanging out at night is never an option. After one full day at work, the last thing I want to do when I am at home is looking to all the PhD stuff. Even browsing the internet could make me sick. Believe it or not, by watching TV I feel a lot more relieve & relax, could focus myself to work on the next day.
Anyway, what I want to blog tonight is about the 1st epi of GA S5 that I just watched tonight. Gosh... what a tragic ending & really can't wait 4 the next epi. I foresee that this season will be more thrilling & am gonna love it, love it, love it. After GA, it was B&S time. A very diff story compared to GA. This series is more about family matter & yup.. it make me think about my life, family even more. The thing that I learn is if you care, u'll be be honest on what you say & sometimes it's OK to be outspoken.
Well, I am not just watching English series on TV but also follow all the Malay dramas online. You name any drama & I bet I know all of them, Spa Q 1 & 2, Rozana, tangisan Bulan Madu, gelora di hati sara, bella, manjalara, rona roni makaroni, Sindarela, etc,etc,etc,etc. yes... I watch(ed) all of them from epi.1 till the final epi. Even my mother doesn't watch all the Malay drama that been aired in M'sia. And of course source is always youtube & thanks for those who never felt tired in uploading & updating those stories. I normally watch them when I am in the office. The good thing when u watch Malay stories is it's not necessarily for me to watch them but it's important to listen. So I can always do my work while listening to these stories. As usual... I am very good in multitasking. I will ensure that both work and non-work stuff are running in the same time.
I guess this is my style of studying & so far it works fine with me. I just know if I need to limit myself. And of course I will make sure all the housechores are done. Luckily syafique & syawal are not too picky about food and they eat whatever I cook.
It's already getting late. Time to go to bed.... night, night
Gossip Girl S2 is coming back soooooooooooooon, yyeyeyyeyeyey.
I just checked at the ITV2 website and confirmed this. For that... I am very happy. Pls imagine me shaking my ass to show how happy am I, muahahahhahahahahha. I like GG much more than I like Grey's Anatomy, all the CSIs, NCIS, Dirty Sexy Money, Brothers & Sisters, Ghost Whisperer, etc,etc,ectc..
Yey... the most awaited day every year when u're in UK, at least for me :). Unlike last yr, I decided to spend it in Soton this year & what a very wise decision I've made. By just spending it in soton, I saved more money (not that much though) & energy. Even better, I managed to do some work which is the most important part. So... where did I go?? Well, I just went to Debenham sales & it was just me who went there. I told syawal & syafique to just stay at home b'cause I know if they're there, I wouldn't find the peaceful of shopping, hehehhehehehe. Indeed I was right. However, I made sure everything was OK before I left. Even though Debenham opened as early as 7am, I cooked nasi lemak for them first & tidied up the house. What a very good wife I am, hehheheheh. The truth... I was playing a bit politic here. I've to make sure syawal is happy b'cos if he's happy, he'll whine less when he looks at what I buy later, heheheheheh.
I found my shopping spree was very enjoyable. I could look at everything w/out any pressure. Since my aim for that day was to look for bedding thingy, so I just concentrated on that section. In fact I only bought what I planned to buy & shirt/trousers for syafique. So proud of myself b'cause I managed to control my shopping desire. Only bought what I planned to. Well done Anom!!! After about 2hrs, done with my shopping. Got me 3 sets of king size & 1 single set beddings. The cost??? £***. Syawal was shocked at first when I told him the total cost but after showed him every single thing (plus little explanation on quality,bla,bla,bla) that I bought. OK.. approved. *phooh*. So relieved. Of course it is important I seek for his approval b'cause he is the payer, hikhikhik.
By noon went back home but later, I felt of going out again. Now, I am craving for coffee. Luckily syawal said OK. Then all of us went to West Quay, I had my blended strawberry @ Starbuck. This is my new fav & I foresee we'll be a regular at Starbuck after this *BigGrin*. I first saw this blended during our recent trip to Bicester village where I saw this one Chinese girl drank it. The moment I saw it, I wanted it straight away. The blended strawberry is so yummy even in this cold weather. At west quay we also bought syafique his first wrist watch. Now he knows how to look at the clock but still in the learning process. Also managed to do some window shopping, didn't buy anything at all as the big boss said *NO*.
Basically this is what I did on our last boxing day in UK. Do you think this is the end of my shopping spree???? Well..the answer is nope, hehehhehe. I am not done with the shopping yet.
I am so going to watch this movie at the cinema. For those who don't know, it is an adaptation from Sophie Kinsella's shopaholic series. They're coming not until next Feb. Can't wait.. can't wait.....hikhikhik
yes.... this is what I feel about my PhD now..... Aarrrgh. My study is almost towards the end BUT still not OK yet. Simpler word... not in a safe path yet. Can't wait for that time to come. Seriously... sometimes I do feel tired of this PhD thingy.
Haven't found the best solution for my analysis yet *sigh*. However, still not in a situation that I want to cry, so I guess still manageable. The truth is ......my mind is exhausted with all this simulation things & I need some time off, just for today at least. Dear god... please help me, please... Give me strength & faith to myself.
I have less than six months to finish everything. With the baby coming sometimes in April, I have to make sure all the important things settle before that. In fact, there are so many thing playing in my mind now. I don't want to think about how scared am I but just to get this done. I really hope I could finish the analysis by end of this year & concentrate on writing after that.
During this crucial time, it's important for me to manage my time efficiently. Yes.. to do the analysis and writing in the same time. And not forgetting all my social thingy like facebook, blog, photoblog, TV programmes (online & TV) & my latest addiction..... play sudoku online, hikhikhik. yes...talking about sudoku, I am so addicted to this game. Blame syawal because of this. He was the one who introduced me & now he is the one who're not happy because I keep playing it. He got that game in his Xperia phone & since he blocked me from playing it using his phone, I've switched to the online game. BTW, it is really annoying to see syawal experimenting with his xperia. I lost track on what he has done to his new phone. He keeps installing & trying new applications into his phone. Seriously I don't when his craziness gonna end. For me.... I don't want to know because now I have sudoku...yey.
I just watched 'Sepi' in youtube and honestly, this is the best malay movie that I ever watched. Even yasmin's movies cannot beat Sepi. It is so beautiful and I almost cried too. Superbly brilliant movie!!! Very worth watching. Everything in this movie is so beautifulll, luv it 10000X.
A bit about Sepi... from one accident, three different love stories from 3 individuals were narrated..... Adam (Afdlin Shauki), Sufi (Tony Eusoff) and Imaan (don't know her real name). My favourite love story is Imaan's story & never expected that Pierre actually died already. Gosh.. what a very beautiful storyline. The cinematography as well...every camera angle means a lot. And the songs... all match the situations & I was so touched. My favourite song is during the scene when it imaan was about to recover from her coma & how Pierre was died . **Will find the title of the song after this. I've heard it before but didn't really care about it. At least before watching Sepi.
My favourite scene:
The song's mp3:
****Today is a very unproductive day for me, *sigh*. hate myself 3x. I wish I could knock my head to do work,*aaarrrgghhh*.
Aaaaaaahhhh, my emotion/feeling/mood is so upside down. Maybe one of the sysmptons, but aarghh, I really hate it. Oh God.. please help me.
Well...easy said about my condition, it happened at the open house that we went just now. Syafique was being not good to the host's child and made her cry. Syafique actaully was concentrating watching TV and that poor kid, like other normal kids ran around him that made syafique annoyed, I think. Not long after that, the kid fell down that of tripping & looked like syafique purposely did it. What make feel sad is when the kid's parent asked syafique why he did it, why he tripped the child? Ooooo.. it made me so embarass & I still feel it. Like I don't know how to take care of my boy.
Honestly... I have no offence at all towards the parent. The parent...as a teacher, I know that'll be the normal response to a kid who are not being good, polite, etc,etc.etc. My awkward, uneasy feelling is totally because I feel guilty. Unless this feeling is gone, it'll effect all my emotion completely. Simple thing could blow me out. I easily get angry and of course just to syawal. I told syawal about my instable emotion exactly after that moment & I think he knows why I am getting so cranky. I just couldn't help it. I tried to cool down though but it is so not easy. I hope when I wake up tomorrow morning, things will be back to normal, PLEASE :(. Interestingly, early I read in someone's blog how she's not happy with her son behaviour when they went to an open house. Almost same with my situation, I think. To the host, I am really for my son's bevaviour. I'll surely teach him a lesson & hope it won't happened again.
On the other totally different story...tonight is the season finale of DH. There is a quote for tonight's series that I found very interesting. It's Tom & Lynette's scene when they're trying to talk to this gay couple about marriage. It was Tom's line....... is that person next to you on the bed worth the trouble???How true is it right??? Sometimes (read: most of the times) we fight over very simple things but actually that is only a tiny part in marriage. What if we've been tested on very big test. How we gonna deal with it?? e.g. if one of you is diagnosed with cancer?? That quote really make me worship my relationship with syawal even more. Anyway.. .. I am very glad they'll show the new season of DH the same time next week. I though I have to wait until next year to watch the next season. The ending of this finale was really awesome & I was really shocked to see susan kissed other man, not Mike. Can't wait to watch the next episode.
The title has nothing to do with my life. It is actually a movie that I watched just now & fell in love with one of the songs in its soundtrack. In fact, I think I like most of them *grin*. I've watched this movie before but I don't know, I really like it. Maybe because it's comedy, musical & romantic type of movie.
Well, this is the VC of my fav. song... Dream of me sang by Kirsten Dunst, the spiderman girl. I think she really can sing or is she really a singer??? I don't know :). Enjoice....
Kirsten Dunst - Dream of Me Lyrics Let me sleep
For when I sleep
I dream that you are here
You’re mine
And all my fears are left behind
I float on air
The nightingale sings gentle lullabys
So let me close my eyes
And sleep
Per chance to dream
So I can see the face I long to touch
To kiss
But only dreams can bring me this
So let the moon
Shine softly on the boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams
He’ll dream of me
I’ll hide beneath the clouds
And whisper to the evening stars
They tell me love is just a dream away
Dream away (echo 3x)
I’ll dream away
So let the moon
Shine softly on the boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams
He’ll dream of me
OooohhhDream of me
Ooooohh..... other songs in the soundtrack, loads of them to write each one back here, so for my quick & each access, just click this link.
BTW, I watched Pretty Woman (again) after that. This is another movie that I never get tired watching off. Even though I tried not to watch but my finger was so itchy to flip the channel back. I wish I could meet a millionaire that will buy anything I want. Anyhow.. it's just a dream & no harm in dreaming right?
It's already quarter to one & I am not feeling sleepy at all. This is another thing that I noticed happen to me lately. Never feel sleepy even though it's already past midnight. During weekdays, I force myself to sleep because I have to wake up early. Since tomorow is Saturday, I guess I can stay up little bit longer. I need to wake up early though, a friend asked me to take her to the train station tomorrow, about quarter past 7.
Other thing... I've finished writing the introdcution of my final thesis. Just the draft by the way & will show it to P*aul next week. For the first time, I asked syawal to proofread it. I never showed anything to him before as I thought he would give a very nasty critic that I couldn't bare. Surprisingly, he said it wasn't that bad but I need to change few things. The things that I also had the same thought. Hope P*ul will say the same thing to me. Or maybe he could re-write my sentences to make it more interesting to read as I normally use the simplest English, hikhikhik.
Yahoo..... X-factor is back. Since 2003, I never missed X-Factor but I became serious fan since I started my PhD. Of course the reason I watch X-Factor is Simon Cowell. yes, I do love him.... very much. I think he is a very honest guy, very straight forward, frank etc,etc,etc. The other thing that make me love him is when he blink his eye. Damn.. he looks so cute, hahahahahaa.
This year, they have new judge. Sharon Osbourne is leaving the show & is replaced with Cheryl Cole, from Girl's Aloud. I think Cheryl is Ok as a judge b'cause she knows what she is doing, in comparison with our M'sian local artists that being invited as a judge at AF weekly concert. What I do love about Cheryl is her accent. A very thick British accent. I always love Britch accent. They sound so beautiful and musical too. Other judges... Louie, the funny guy & Danni Minogue, look gorgeous in every show.
For this season, I've found my fav. star. Hope he'll make it to the final 16(???, not sure about this). He has a very good voice but what made him went for the audition that made me so touched. I did cry & it wasn't just me who was crying. Cheryl cried too. I'll just let you watch the VC to know why. Toward the end of the clip you could seen simon blinked his eye. happy viewing..
In more serious note, I learn to improve my English by watching X-Factor. Writing, speaking and listening in English are three different things. By watching X-factor (& other TV programmes too), I think I've improved my listening. Trying to capture and understand what are they saying are not easy, not forgetting their diff accents. I do proud of myself b'cause I think my listening skill is improving. But I am still far behind in my speaking. Need to talk more specifically with English people, because in my opinion, you can't improve much when you speak English with non-native English speakers. Because, when you talk to English ppl, u'll realize that you're using wrong vocab in wrong way or whatsoever. By talking to them, is one way to improve your public speaking & self confidence too.

*** Am about to complete my Sophie Kinsella collection soon :). Also, Sophie Kinsella & Madeleine Wickham are actually the same person.
That is actually the latest Sophie Kinsella's novel that I just read. Very2 worth reading. I finished reading it in just one night & it was really full of emotions.. Again, Sophie Kinsella never fail to amuse me with her piece. I borrowed this novel from a friend a day before.
The book starts with lots of giggling. Syafique was besides me when I read it & he must thought his umi was crazy because I giggled most of the times. But when I reached the peak of the story, the giggle was long way gone, syafique was already aslept & I was crying, weeping & sobbing. I was so moved away & had to pause my reading. During that time, syawal was next to me & he said I was over reacting. I wished he read the novel too.
There are lots of moral values from this novel but the quote that stick in my mind is 'Living well is the best revenge'. Yes... no matter how bad you've been treated, don't fight back. You could fight back, but in a very 'smooth' way. Act with brain...
I read the novel on Friday night, so when I went to Portswood on Saturday, I went into each charity shop, very excited looking for Sophie's novel & I got two *yey*, Can You Keep a Secret & Remember Me. Even though I've read the Can You Keep a Secret, but it is not mine. I want to complete my Sophie Kinsella's novel collection. Another 3 titles from Shopaholis series, then my collection is complete. At the boot sales today, my search of her novels still continued, I did find some but I've got that titles. So... the search is still on.
Hmmm... I love every bits and pieces of this series. Luv it, luv it, luv it....luv it very much. I really hate it because it already end & I have to wait until the next season which I don't know when they'll be aired. *aaaaarghhh*. BTW, I still remember the 1st time I watched GG. It was Hi Society, ep 10/18. I didn't really understand about it yet but one thing I did remember was I totally fell in love with one of the songs, Secret by the Pierces. I still remember how the next day I was struggling to find the song. It wasn't easy but I finally found it. Since then I never miss GG.
The good thing here, even you miss the episode, you can still catch it up sooner (+1 channel) or later or can even watch it online but not the earlier episodes. Well... the more I watch it the more I fell in love with it. So I decided to break my rule which is not to download any stories that I follow. Yes, I downloaded all the episodes that I missed which are epi 1-9 & I just finished watched them all *BigGrin*. Before that, I've downloaded & watched Grey's Anatomy S4 too, hikhikhikhikhik. A bit about myself, I don't like to watch any stories (read: downloaded stories) on the computer screen even though our computer screen is 15"(or 17"??). So, when syawal told me he wanted to subscribe for the rapidshare acc, I was totally against it because knowing syawal, I know it's gonna be a waste. & hell yes, I am correct b'cause he doesn't full utilize his account. But since I've learnt how to search my fav stories, download them & stream that to the TV so I can watch on bigger screen while relaxing on the sofa, I guess it's not a total waste anymore hhehehehe.
Why I like GG so much????? My answers 1. The fashion sense... marvellous 2. The songs..... always make me like crazy, searching for them in the net. 3. The family bonding ..... family is everything 4. The quote...... suddenly I couldn't remember anything, not even one *sigh* 5. Love story.... remind me to my x-bf, old flame, huhuhuhu 6. FRIENDSHIP..... friends can be anyone but not a best friend. For me best friend is the one that you could share anything. You'll be together when you're ups or downs. Friends that can share your feelings, opinions.
Watching GG make me miss all my high school's friends. Badly miss them. I could still remember & visualize the sad & happy moments. I still remember when I was in F5, me & my girl's classmates skipped the add math class , hid behind the hall & plucked the mango, behind the HM's house. I think there were about 10 of us & I was a prefect that time. So naughty!!! Also could remember during our SRP (PMR) exam, me & my friend played mirror reflection with the boys. The boys & girls hostel corridor were in line. We were at one end & the boys were the other end. It was very bright & sunny day, we hid behind the dorm's door & playing with reflection from the mirror. At first it was just me & my other friend, which was later joined by others. It was really fun but then we were stopped by another friend. Actually, there were lots of unforgetful sweet memories during that time. To Wea, Ma, Na, Zen, Hanan, Zie, Notie, Ani Malik and others, I miss you all, very2 much. I will definitely go to KT once I go back to M'sia. By just looking at the school'gate is enough for me.
Sometimes I think, I will be 33 this year but still I don't act like one. During high school, I can be grouped in the 'brutal gang' & until now I still feel like brutal. Luckily, I married to syawal. We are totally opposite in everything & he is responsible to neutralize me whenever I might be acted 'brutal', hikhikhik. Believe it or not, I tried to act polite, soft woman but it is so hard to do. So.. just be myself.
Get to go. I want to perfrom my Isha' prayer while waiting for syawal to arrive from London. I wait for him or for the halal subway sandwich that he bought for me??? Huhuhuh
Actually I have lots of interesting things happened to me today. Just don't know which one to start first. Well, now I am at home watching Wimbledon with Syafique keeps disturbing, forcing me to play Yu-Gi-Oh with him. Like I know how to duel ....
I watched Sharapova vs. not-in-the-rank-player match just now. Shockingly, Sharapova was defeated in a straight set match. She gave the opponent no fight at all. What a dissapointment but I do like her attire. Who said you can't be fashionable even if you're sportswoman. Every year, she plays with new style. I heard the commentator said that even her ear ring was sponsored. Also,I could see her name 'Maria' on her shoes that she wore during the match. Back to the match, she did very bad during the first set, countless of unforce errors. Improved a bit in the second set but not good enough. I could see how happy her opponent when she won the match. What do you expect, when you beat the 3rd seeded of the world player. I bet she didn't expect to win the game. Another one of the world top players off from Wimbledon championship. Nalbandian (I never like him) was the 1st top player had been kicked out, then followed by Djokovic and today sharapova. I hope my fav players will survive until at least semi final. Who are they?? Gents: Federer, Nadal, Hewitt, Roddick, Bagdatis & Safin, while for ladies, the Williams. I just realized I don't really know the top ladies players because they keep changing. Every year, new faces can be seen. I only know Serena William & Sharapova. I do like Janine Hardin (spelling??), but I think she is not playing this year. Sharapova?? Who doesn'y know her, rite? The only player with lots of noises during a match. Some ppl say she is grunting, but some say she is screaming??? For me she is screaming *hehehhehhehe*.
We plan to go to Wimbledon this Saturday... Please god,please fufill my wish. I hope I'll step my feet on the Wimbledon ground. Of course I don't want to put a high hope. Syawal is working this saturday, so we can only go there after 1.30 pm. It doesn't matter really, as long as I can go there.
While typing this entry, syafique is beside me. Keep disturbing me of anything. He just can't see/let me relax. Actually he is being punished because he said 'stupid' just now, so he can't watch Yu-Gi-Oh today. Plus, he played with the clock by changing the time for I didn't know why. Now, he is being restless because he doesn't know what to do except make me annoyed *huh*.
Psssttt... I just discovered a new thing about Sky. After Sharapova match just now, BBC1 show another match & I don't really fancy the players. I know Roddick is playing at another court & I've noticed a sign on the top right hand side on the telly, press RED button if I want to choose another game. I followed the instructions & now I am watching Roddick vs. player-with-glasses. Yey... another interesting game. I guess I'll stick infront of the telly until midnight..hheheheh. After watching Wimbledon, my favourite series will take over back to back until midnight * huhuhu*
This story really turn me to feel like a teenager again. The feeling of love someone or to be loved is such a very romantic feeling, huhuhu. Before that.. I am not saying I don't love & not happy with syawal OK. It's just that I am easily carried away with all the stories on telly, hehhehehe. To Abang, I love you very much, always have, always will.
Before anything, please listen to the theme song for sindarela, titled Khabarkan by not-sure-who. This song is very sweet & if you listen to it while watching Sindarela, then you'll know how is the feel.....
ku.. khabarkan pada sang angin cinta ku basah di tengah hujan lemas di tengah lautan dan ku.. khabarkan pada sang angin hentikan pukulan ombak agar cinta ku mampu berenang
chorus bawa cinta ku ke sisir pantai biar cinta ku ke daratan kembali agar dapat mengejar cintanya katakan padanya bawa cintaku ke sisir pantai biar cintaku ke daratan kembali agar dapat mengejar cintanya cintaku mahukan dia
khabar..khabar..khabarkan..2x
khabarkan pada sang bunga cintaku hilang panduan hilang arah hampir rebah tak tahu ke mana berjalan khabarkan pada sang mentari terangkan jalannya empunya hati agar cintaku sampai padanya
ulang chorus
angin khabarkan cinta ini padanya angin tolonglah cintaku mahukan dia
back to Sindarela.... since last week's episode, I totally fell in love with it, especially Zoela & Tg. Haidar. They are really sweet together. This week episode really make crazier than last week. I always like Sh. Amani (Zoela). Despite of her sexiness, she is a good actress. Tg. Haidar is a new face I think, so I don't really know about him , not even know his real name. He is handsome (read: REALLY handsome), his acting is not bad at all & in this drama, he's really natural in making stupid jokes in attempts to court Zoela & believe-it-or-not he succeed. BTW all his moves were really lame *huhu*.
The storyline is totally different with other malay dramas that I currently follow. Very neat storyline, logic, make sense, funny & the list goes on. In comparison with Ezora, I am a bit dissapointed because I like Fazura & I expect more from her. It's not her fault though... Forget about Ezora, Sindarela really make my Tuesday.. (They're aired every Tuesday :)). Please watch this drama. I bet you'll love it as much as Ido.
Yes... Wimbledon2008 is officially starts today!!! My favourite players are definitely Federer & Maria Shorapova.
p/s: I am too lazy to do anything today, *zzzzzz*.
*****NEW UPDATE*****
I just found out that I can watch the LIVE game on BBC website. That is really good. Now I am watching Hewitt vs. I-don't-know-that-player, interesting game... If I knew this earlier, I could watch Federer's first game *sigh*.
