A little hush please… the next episode is about to begin...

Are you sitting comfortably? The next episode is about to begin. The next episode takes place in the street, in the middle of an ocean. In the next episode, nobody will talk; everybody will sing. In the next episode, 60 minutes takes 60 seconds. You can score from anywhere. It’s being written while you’re asleep. The next episode will not return after this commercial break. In the next episode, we all have the same voice. One person takes on the world. Its the remix of the remix. It’s the greatest, smallest show on earth. A little hush please… the next episode is about to begin.

my current addiction

i am soooooo addicted to facebook. and so are most of the people i met. after the "hello"s and "how are you"s the next question is : ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK?

i'm one of those people who spent hours in front of the computer poking her friends and colleagues instead of calling them to say hello!!! what have i become??!!! before it was friendster. but the addiction wasn't so bad cos friendster doesn't have any cool applications like super poke your friends, send cool gifts or race cars. With all this cool apps in facebook, i just can't stop adding apps to my profile. and people just can't stop inviting you to add the apps to your profile. the world has just become smaller.

anyway, if you do drop by, don't forget to poke me (manja13@gmail.com), i'll super poke you back!!! =.)

once

i'm not really sure what is it that really attracted me to the movie. Is it the emotionally touching songs? (well it's not your celine dion puking love songs.) is it the haunting voice of Marketa Irglova? is it the simplicity of the storyline and cinematography? whatever it is, whatever it may be, Once has strike a chord, a vein in my blood stream. i'll recommend it to the hopelessly romantic. BUT it's no titanic... just try not to have any expectations.
you can check them out on youtube. and listen to their music.

we rode together...once

When Your Mind's Made Up
Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
Movie: Once

So, if you want something
And you call, call
Then'll come running
To fight, and I'll be at your door
When there's nothing worth running for

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to stop it

You see, you're just like everyone
When the shit falls all you want to do is run, away
And hide all by yourself
When you're far from me, there's nothing else

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point even talking
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to fight it

So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running.

me trip to ozland - melbourne

i had a blast in australia. first stop was melbourne.

surprised me mom on the second day of Hari Raya. she was there already, taking care of my pregnant sis. she had no idea tat i was coming cos i told her tat all flights were fully booked and the available tix was too expensive. well it was twice the normal price.

the morning of my arrival, Nazif (BIL) told mom that he was going to the supermarket. mom was a bit surprised that he was up pretty early on a sunday morning (8am). usually they'll be lazing in bed till noon (ok.. that was an exaggeration) marian was up and showered which made it even more suspicious.

when i reached my sis' home, nazif walked in first and i came in like half a min later. Boy, was she surprised!!! we hug. she cried. she made me wanna cry. we hugged some more. seeing me probably make her missed home even more...(i think) raya in melbourne is not the same as in singapore. esp when your entire family is not there wit you... :)

it was an overwhelming morning for all....
meeting my sis and brother-in-law after such a long time and getting to see my new nephew. he's so adorably small... tiny hands. tiny wrinkly fingers. tiny wrinkly toes. alhamdullillah! both mother and child are well...

celebration of life....
