good or bad?

Feeling a lil down, unfocused and kinda lost.
I know PMS, the "pre-" one, but is there such thing as "post-MS"?

Not my favourite song this time but I can relate to the lyrics at the moment.




Good Is Good

Good is good and bad is bad
You don't know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they're blowing 'round
They won't help you when you're down

Love's on your list of things to do
To bring your good luck back to you
And if you think that everything's unfair
Would you care if you're the last one standing there

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightning strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

I don't hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
And that's not where you want to be

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightning strikes
And you could find a rock to crawl right under
If all your good times pass you by

When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don't belong
And you don't know why

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightning strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don't belong
Neither do I

Commissioners reject Auckland billboards ban

NZPA | Friday, 18 May 2007

Aucklanders who enjoy staring at Dan Carter in his underwear can breathe easier after a panel of commissioners rejected a council plan to ban billboards.

The panel will recommend the council allow all legally established billboards to remain but apply tougher conditions on new billboards.

Recommendations include tougher guidelines on location, height, size and lighting of billboards and tougher enforcement which could see non-compliant billboards removed or covered within 24 hours.

(many more para but no need lahh...)

***************

I knew nothing of the billboard ban plan up there in Auckland, but the first para of the news caught my attention ;)

If that particular billboard in the 1st para is non-compliant to any new rules and you people at the council want to tear it down, please don't send it to dumpster, give it to me, can arrr?

To avoid drooling ladies, I'm putting the most decent ad here.. not the topless one ;)

Oh, by the way, for the first time in Sport Super 14 history two South African teams, Bulls & Sharks, are in the final. NZ teams dah balik kampung!

*Ubi - cuci mata satttt..... & looking forward to July match!

**apologies for my no reply to comments.. will reply (much) later.

lil bit of food, lil bit of rugby

When I puasa, I don't mind the hunger, but lack of caffein is giving me the headache. *counting minutes to maghrib*

Crusaders lost to Chiefs last Friday. Chiefs 30- Crusaders 24. They broke the Crusaders' record of unbeaten run of 26 matches at Jade Stadium. My 'Abang Dani' (lol) a.k.a Daniel Carter didn't play for this match. Penat aje bawak handbag baru.. tak der chance nak jual kat TradeMe. No more Super 14 match @ Jade Stadium, the rest of the semis and final will be in South Africa.

kenapa semua suka cekak pinggang?


altogether now!

That's Sivivatu on the right, he gave 2 tries for Chiefs.

I'm taking a break from the blogosphere.. just for a while. See you when I see you!

autumn ramblings

The murder took place last year. I felt sick reading the news. In another article the murderers said they did it because they 'just wanted to experience killing someone'. That experience is gonna make one's CV stand out aye? Killing your friend for fun? *shudders*.

*********************************************

Leaves are falling, stripping the branches nude. The color palette is filled with yellow, red and brown. Loverlyyyy! My fave color was brown, now I love red. Red is the new brown!

Everytime I look at the falling leaves, this song came to mind. Mrs Ho's students, jom nyanyiiii! :)

The falling leaves drift by the window

The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon Ill hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall....

The days are cold and wet and my carboot leaks! I hate putting on too many layers, it makes me look fat. I am fat now anyway. Short and fat is penguin, but penguins are cute, I'm not. Heatpump in the living room is dead, my complaint went to accommodation office two months ago, must be somewhere in their rubbish bin.

The sky is cloudy. Can't see the full moon. Bad mood. Can't be a werewolf tonight. This is a damn good place to turn into a wolf. Lotsa sheeps to eat!

Sunday Morning

Sunday Morningggggggg!!!

I fell asleep very early last night, by 8pm I was already in dreamland with empty tummy. My flatmate was baking some quiche and I slept before she even finished baking. I woke up famished.. lucky she kept a few pieces for my brekkie.
Now I have to clean my room a bit and next off to kitchen to invent my version of nasi lemak. I’m gonna go and fetch my friend, her parents & lil daughter from the airport afterwards, yes, I have guests, if not I wont be making nasi lemak laaa. The first time I ever cooked nasi lemak was when my parents came for my graduation in Penang in 2001, that was the one and only time I did! Nampak sangat spesis tak masak, kan.

Off to kitchen now! Happy Sunday everyone! And now here’s my fave song at the moment.. enjoy it!

~Regina Spektor - Fidelity~

And suppose I never met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me
so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs
just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better
