hellloooooowwww again!...lame gile tk menulis...maaf yer..tlampau byk hal dlm sebulan due ni..ehek carik alasan plak..bukan tknk tulis,tpi everytime nk blogging mesti ade je bende kaco, last2 tk update pun..oh yea.there are lotsa things to start blogging about, but for sure it wont go all at once..matila beb-huhu..so i'll start with last year's trip to ipoh.. :)

on november 2010, ive been on a trip to ipoh. :)kekasih bwk ,so she took me from sepang..then we all gerak gi ipoh..then berlakulah sesuatu yang tk disangka mase on the way tu..it was somewhere in trolak la kot.i teraccidentkan kete fina-VAVI ehh silap..VIVA kesayangannya..:)sorry no photos cos mase tu fina pun tgh nanges baek punye..haha,kenela pujuk kan?? anyway, i was driving.sah2 la..mase tu jln 2 lane je..and ade satu treler panjang ni,die gerak cam sipot serawak. so ade 2 kete dpan i dh overtake.i pun nk overtake la,kt dpn tu, ade kon,diorg tutup jalan sbb kononnye nk baiki ape ntah..and then i hit the pedal la kan,sbb nk overtake.pastu ,sedar2 je, treler tu plak tetibe je laju, n tknk bg i potong pun.i pun pe lagi.mmg dh tkley elak,kon tu mmg die letak kt tgh2 ,pe lagi, POWWWWW!!! berlakulah satu perlanggaran yg agak dahsyat. disebabkan kon tu tk bergerak, so u do lah the physics .
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)v3
m1=berat viva 850kgs cmpur org2 kt dlm.hehe
v1=speed viva at that moment 120km/h
m2=berat kon,say,1kg
v2=0,kon tu tk bergerak.
so, bygkan je la brape F yg dikenekan on Viva nye bumper tu.850x120=?? haa lmbat.tekan kalkulator sudeyh..156000kgm/s.haha bukan nk tunjuk terer kt sni,just kalau kene ketuk dgn penumbuk korg pun,bumper viva ley pecah,bygkan la dgn speed yg we carry mase tu..
so we all stopped selepas tu, n i thought mase tu bumper pecah punyelah.n it turned out to be right.bumper pecah,PLUS...compressor aircond nye pulley pun cam tk betul la rotation die..
dah,benti kt tapah.at first i pk mase tu cm nk cancel je trip tu.tapi fina (my love) pujuk2, ckp whatever it is,kene la face the probs.then the journey completed

n smpai kt ipoh,ade la bikin cerita sket...and tup2 kete die pun dh repair.except the bumper lah,as you can see til now :) sorry yer syg >>i Pwomise tk buat lagi dah <<
so i stayed for almost a week..n family fina sgt best :) thanks auntie n uncle.ehek..
so kt sni ade la few shots yg agak beginner la dri sume segi ah,baik dri segi shot mahupun editing.biaselah, org baru nk bjinak..
ni gmbar kt gunung lang, tktau plak kt area tu ade tmpat cantik,well kept. :) kene naik bot utk gi the other side.

and right after that we went to lubuk fatimah or better known as lubuk timah. The place is beautiful , clean and with not many presence of people, it was fantastic.i got few shots around there,only to be frustrated with my battery go kaputt. still it was a nice place to be, and for sure i'll be going there again on any given holiday at ipoh.hehe
The next day,we went to sunway at tambun.but the fun part is that we get to see inside the petting zoo.its hard to get good shots from animal since they are moving quite often, but its a good start for me to learn part of photography skills that involves animal.the best part of the tour has got to be inside tiger valley where 3 or 4 tigers were inside their room, and not forgetting the cute cub.

i certainly did enjoy my time in ipoh and looking forward lg nk dtg..so ok, cukup la ek? korang pun penat dh bace, tgk je la gambo balik..owait.thank you syg,auntie,uncle n d rest for the wonderful times in ipoh!

Calling Romeo

I don't read that much novels. Aside from literary syllabus that was required back in the school days, I don't take that much effort to actually read on my expenses. Hey, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to, but it's just that, novels are freaking expensive the fact that you're paying RM39.90 for something you read only once. So the once I do the read, are the ones that you need to pass exams, or the ones I got for free. (yep, I am that cheap).

Anyway, out of the small amount of books I do read, my personal favourite would be Alexandra Potter's Calling Romeo. Well, in short, its about a girl, who's already committed in a relationship with her longtime boyfriend, suddenly feel bored and annoyed with the boyfriend since there's no more spark or excitement. And when she found some other guy from work, she started to have feelings for that guy, and less for her boyfriend. Yada yada yada, she had infatuations, and neglecting that old boyfriend of hers. Same drama, in the end, she realise what a magnificent guy she already has and failed to see that all along.

Well, I'm not here to write the review or analysis of the book, because that can easily be found from google. But the reason I actually liked the idea of the book, is because, it actually hit, right on target.

Ouch.

I dare say, we are all, at least once in their lives, guilty of infidelities in relationships. We feel the need to obtain the love of somebody else, even when we already have a person that is showering us with theirs. Well, that's human being for you. We are never satisfied with what we have, but often mourn over for what we have lost.

So, this girl from the book, Juliet, was stood up during Valentine's Day by her live-in boyfriend. Well, thats what happens when you've been together long enough to take things for granted. That is usually the case, though. Boyfriends tend to neglect their woman, and woman look for what they miss in somebody else. See, that is something I have realised for quite some time. Guys would always forget to show that they love their partner because they feel that, the fact that they're still together with them, enough to show that they love them. Well guys, unfortunately, girls aren't like that. They want to be shown. They want to feel loved. They need it to be obvious. So, when the boyfriends don't do that, thats why the girls tend to stray... And what else could be better than new guys?

Girls, I know its hard to commit in a relationship. Sure, it tends to get boring, and lifeless sometimes. I used to think that, too. I always thought, "I'm still so young, so why the hell do I wanna be stuck with the same freaking guy I was in high school?" So, I strayed. For quite some time. Enough time to be infatuated with a few guys. But then it got me thinking, the guy I actually have right now, is actually amazing. Sure, we tend to be like old, married couples, but considering all the fun we had, all the memories we made, am I ready to throw that all away? Then bam! I turned 360 degrees. Well, not exactly immediately, but I did change my ways. And you know what, he did too, after a long heartfelt talk.

So the key of it all, is of course, communication. We need to talk. I know girls tend to keep things to themselves, whereas guys are just clueless to what is in girls' minds. I know, sometimes we just want them to know what we want without us telling them, but hey, guys are just bimbos sometimes, and that's okay. So, us girls just need to remind them of what they're lack off. But only if you want the relationship to work. If not, be my guest and just leave.

And the guys, when girls do talk it out, please, do take note (literally). They hate to repeat the same things all over again because they would feel that what they said weren't important enough to you that you weren't concentrating hard enough to remember. That's when they get reaaalllly angry. If Bryan Adams could understand, why can't you guys? Anyway, here's Chris Daughtry's version of Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman..

Love at first sight

This has always been in my mind. "Love at first sight". A term that we have always been hearing. Banyak cerita lovey dovey, tak kisah la omputih ke, melayu ke, telenovela ke, each of them is guilty for spoonfeeding to us about love at first sight.

But wujud ke love at first sight ni? Some people may say it does, some may say it doesn't. As for me, I strongly feel it doesn't. How can a person be in love with another, only by the first glance of them? Cam tak logik pun ada. Sure, you might the feel attracted to a person the first time you saw them, but that's not love. That's like, crush at first sight. If that's the case, I think every single human being pernah rasa that feeling.

And come to think of it, what's there to like when it is love at first sight? Bukankah the first thing you notice about a person is their appearance? So, does that not mean that you're attracted due to their looks? And isn't that the worst reason to fall in love with a person?

Which are you more likely to be in love at first sight?

This?

or

this?

Semua orang tau, that in order to have strong feelings for a person, they must get to know the other, understand each other, let the feelings develop, and see how things go. Orang yang dah kenal 10 tahun pun belum tentu its love, inikan orang yang baru takat nampak.

Tapi kenapa people, teenagers especially, are still in love with the idea of love at first sight? Well, blame the romance comedies we've all watched, songs we've listened. Sure it's fun to watch. Tapi budak-budak hingusan, yang masih di tahap conditioning, definitely will be in fantasies. Tu yang banyak jadi puppy love tu. Pastu, heartbroken, commit suicide. Mmmm... I'm running away from my point, aren't I?

Mamat ni pun satu. I knew I loved you before I met you?? Wtf?? Is that even logic?

Well, easy to say, people have got to lose this idea. This idea that when you're attracted to a person the first time you saw them, you're already in love. Because it's not. It's just lust. Even if you got married to that person, it's still wasn't love. It's just that the attraction made you want to get to know the person better, and coincidentally, both of you have developed feelings throughout the years.

Enough with the fantasies people. The real world ain't that great.

This one is a total exception. This one is sweet.
