Forget.. I'm not sure I could




Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice

Provided by VideoCodes4U.com


Forgive, sounds good

Forget, I’m not sure I could

They say time heals everything

But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt

There’s nothing left for me to figure out

I’ve paid a price

And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and

I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said

Can’t you just get over it

It turned my whole world around

And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby

With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’

It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her

Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger

And how in the world can the words that I said

Send somebody so over the edge

That they’d write me a letter

Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing

Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and

I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and

I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good

Forget, I’m not sure I could

They say time heals everything

But I’m still waiting




Ubi- I just hate it when people lie (who doesn't?). And I hate it more when I cannot confront the person face to face. Urgh...

Oh by the way, I love Dixie Chicks!

munching

I don't need to be pregnant to crave for this and dat.. I have my own monthly cravings.. and now I go for fruits and veggies. I drool at the sight of fresh edible stuff coming from kingdom plantae. I wanna put everything in my trolley when I walk past the fresh section at Pak'n'Save.
A new one on my fruit list: blood orange. This orange looks red instead of orange. At first I thought it is a rotten one.


Tamarillo & Blood Orange (me hates tamarillo!)




When I cut them for brekkie, they look like this.. blood red and hints of pink on the peel. It looks as if someone has injected some colourings into it. The look is not as appealing as the normal oranges but they taste just as sweet. Yummy & juicy.
Now I wonder, if God makes all oranges in red, what would the English call the color kuning bata (in Ganuspeak) or jingga?


My all time favourite.. A box of cherry tomatoes for lunch, yums, am a sucker for tomatoes. Finished the whole box in minutes. I’m getting enough vit C, vit A, potassium and iron for today, yeay!

McD Vege DeliChoice for Dinner

Thanks Mr Donalds for putting something that I can eat in your menu (besides the fries & fish fillet). And yes I'm lovin' it. While at it, I found out that my 'inggerish' must be very bad that your staff, the ordering operator at the drive through could not understand what I ordered. I had to talk to them face to face in order to get the correct one. I ordered Vege Deli Choice, and miss operator took it as Sundae. Do they even rhyme?

Ok ppl, don't forget to eat your greens... or red or orange.. whatever the color is.

Ubi- *still munching*

moonlight and roses

Moon in Canterbury . 2040 .13052006


Moonlight and roses,
bring wonderful memories of you,
My heart reposes,
in beautiful thoughts so true,
June light discloses,
love's golden dreams sparkling a-new,
Moonlight and Roses,
brings memories of you.
Ben Black & Neil Moret, 1925


I'm not in angau mood, not in love or whatever.. I just find the sky, the stars and the moon so beautiful tonite. I wish I have someone to sit with and enjoy the view (suddenly EJ comes to mind).. a picnic under the stars.. ahhh.. but cannot - too cold out there!

the gift

When I went home mid last year, it was just over a week after Mother’s Day. Mak told me my cousin’s MIL sulked because her son and DIL did not give her anything for Mothers Day. That makcik expected gifts from each one of her children and menantus every Mother’s Day and she even compare the value of gifts given by her children. Mak laughed and shook her head when telling me the story. I was helping Mak to chop onions to cook lunch at the time. Then I jokingly asked Mak, what she would like me to give her and Mak said this:

“I don’t want to ask anything from you… You hardly spend time in this house anymore. To have you coming home is always a gift. To be able to feed you again is a gift. I just need that from my children”.

I held my breath when I heard that.. almost burst into tears. I really wanted to get up and give her a hug, but I just didn’t. My eyes must have turned red, but if anyone asked me why, I would blame it on the onions! I could not stand being in ‘syahdu mood’ that I cracked a joke.. couldn’t bear to listen to Mak saying things like that again…it could make me cry sebaldi!

All my siblings live within half an hour drive from our parents. They can afford to give Mak weekly or even daily visits. They can give Mak the gifts that Mak needs from her children. I’m sorry Mak, I can’t give you the gifts as often as I want to… I cannot be present as a present for you this Mother's Day but it does not mean that I love you less.

I love you Mak!
Happy Mother's Day to Mak..
and to all mothers out there.

update?

I've been doing what I'm told
I've been busy growing old
And the days are getting cold but that's alright with me

Did I say weeks?
Hmm.. just shoot me...
As what that dancing lady said, I must have been itching to update.
Someone pass me some Agnesia talc please..
My hands really itch! :D
*hope that means I'm getting my allowance soon*

**
I think I'm growing old (duh... were you not?)
I'm seeing the signs
So you say that Ol@y T0tal Effect fights 7 signs of aging?
Now I'm looking at more than 7.. countless!

A simple & innocent text message can work wonders
It can make a rainy autumn day looks bright and sunny
It spells i.n.f.a.t.u.a.t.i.o.n


Hey wake up!
Stop dreaming-lah
