air pollution & chocs

Hidung aku peka.
Aku lemas bila flatmate baru aku tu tak paham-paham that this is a non-smoking flat.
She smokes in her room and I think in the toilet too, now the whole flat ends up bau asap.
2 days ago, she bought frozen durian and kept it in the fridge.
Oh, she's not a Malaysian, ingat orang Malaysia je ke makan durian?
Aku rasa sesak nafas everytime buka fridge.
adik manis... tolong cepat sikit perabis makan durian tu.
Akak lemas ok!

I found this on Libra sticker:

Libra Odd Spot #262
Chocolate contains the same chemical that your brain produces when you fall in love - phenylethylamine.



Of late, I don't like chocolate anymore (adakah tu tanda2 penuaan?)... and I'm not in love. Now where else can I get that phenylethylamine doses?



I don't fancy chocs but I need something sweet, so I bought this.
Ferrero garden. no choc.

Go join the march to show your protest. I am protesting against Israeli bombing & invasion of Gaza but at the same time I don't believe that all Jews support Zionism, there are peace loving Jews around us. Do not generalise.

sleeping satellite

I almost missed my final full moon from this kiwiland. Thanks to D who texted me to go and look up the sky. D lives in a tent 400km down south now, so she gets to check on all the interesting things up in the sky every night. It's a cloudy night over here. Lucky I managed to get these shots before the clouds finally hid the moon.


*****



I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite



Did we fly to the moon too soon
did we squander the chance
in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure



have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon
we wonder why
If the earth's sacrificed
for the price of it's greatest treasure



and when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept
or pass it by like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure



Lyrics - Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer


*****


I'm thinking of spending a night under the warm summer sky, on cricket field, perhaps after the last moon quarter when the night sky is darker, to spot stars, constellations or if lucky some shooting stars before I go home for good. Sape nak join?

Anyone?

Jom la...

oh love...

Copied & pasted here from http://www.stuff.co.nz/4811526a12.html

I think this is so sweet and innocent.
It must be very scary for the parents if the kids really get their way to Africa!

German children elope

Wednesday, 07 January 2009



Love is ... trying to elope to Africa with your sweetheart for a wedding under the burning sun - when you are still at primary school.

That was the quest of two children aged six and seven who had thought of almost everything - right down to suntan lotion, sunglasses and the five-year-old sister of the bride-to-be, who was brought along to "witness" their nuptials on the other side of the world.

With their suitcases on wheels and sandwiches of chicken paste and processed cheese, the trio - sensibly bundled up against the minus-six temperature in their homeland - travelled from Langenhagen, near Hanover, in Germany, in their bid to reach the airport more than 50 kilometres away.

It was barely light on New Year's Day when, fuelled by passion and a documentary they had seen about the wildlife of Kenya the night before, the lovebirds and the witness set out on mission impossible. They had no passports, no tickets and no idea really where Africa was.

"The two children were determined to tie the knot under the African sun after seeing a nature documentary together," said police spokesman Holger Jureczko in Hanover. The pair, identified only as Mika and Anna-Lena, "are very much in love and decided to get married in Africa, where it is warm, taking with them as a witness Anna-Lena's little sister, aged five".

The idea for the romantic trip began when Mika told the two girls about his holiday in Italy while their families celebrated New Year's Eve together. As the adults drank champagne, Mika and Anna-Lena watched the lions cavorting on the Serengeti and hatched their plan.

As the first dawn of 2009 broke, and while their parents slept, they left their house and walked a kilometre up the road to a tram stop, from where they travelled to Hanover's central station. Waiting for a train to the airport, they attracted the attention of a guard, who contacted police.

"What struck us was that the little ones were completely on their own and that they had lots of swimming gear with them," said Jureczko.

He described Mika and Anna-Lena as "sweethearts".

Anna-Lena told the German television station RTL: "We wanted to get married and so we just thought: 'Let's go there.' "

Asked why they failed to let their parents know, the children said they thought they would not be gone for long.

Anna-Lena's mother, who was not identified, said she had known nothing of the plan. "I'm still in a state of shock. I thought, 'I'm playing a part in a bad movie.' "

The police told the trio it would be difficult to get to Africa without money or tickets and instead gave them a tour of the police station before handing them over to their parents.

S.w.e.e.t! When I was their age, I too wanted to elope with my then sweetheart (kecik-kecik dah gatal!), we wanted to go a way and live on an island because we loved beaches (my tadika trip asyik pegi pantai jer) but we did think of the what ifs... what if the place we go to have no tv? what if we have no money to buy chickadees and ice cream? penting semua tu kan. So, tak jadi elope.
