i saw an episode on Oprah couple of days back, really really touched my heart. Oprah's Angel Network in South Africa was the title. How lucky we are to be living in Singapore, having our family friends and our love ones, having a roof above our head, sufficient food to eat and millions more things which we simply took for granted.. i know there are still some of us which are considered unlucky, lived in poverty but despites all the unthinkable, our unluckines or poverty is far too near compared to theirs...

Poverty is the main issue in that country... i'm sure you guys have seen photos of the children there.. their bloated stomach due to malnutritions.. photos of the places they called home which was unsightly.. Sadly to say they are far more in worse situation then us.. AIDS is also another problem there.. majority of the population there are HIV positive.. their hospitals dont even have the proper equipment to deal with the condition there... such a pity... all the doctors can do there for those patients was to prescribe them with medication on the normal symptoms like headache and flu, just to ease their suffering even for a while although they are HIV infected... And one more thing i find that was really disturbing was that the older people there believes myths.... and the myths was that the only way to be cured of AIDS is to have sex with a VIRGIN.. simply outrageous ryte?

On that show, Oprah and her team decided to do something for the children there.. and it was to make a christmas party for them there.. putting on show for them and giving presents... it was really a treat for them.. i mean you could see it on their faces, joy and happiness was so evident! over 5000 kids under a enormous circus kinda tent partying away.. and the best part was when they received their presents, and the presents each child got was clothes, lots of them, a beg, school amenities, a Levis pants, sports shoes and many more. Whoah!, the kids was so so delighted... some were jumping around happily and some were crying happy tears and some was even lost for words.... Oprah was brought to the brim of tears but she cant cry in front of them.. she just could not... it was overwhelming.. even i myself can feel it.. the feeling was undescribable... for that moment, that very day, it was their day, where kids can be kids themselves, where worries are lifted for a while.. it maybe the one and only time where they can feel lucky, happy and receive presents... i'm happy for them..

it was really and eye-operner for me.. dear friends.. please treasure ure loved ones.. dont take thing for granted.. and when ure feeling down and feel like giving up for whatever the reasons that may be, just remember... theree are people in this world who are in far worse situation than you.. ure considered lucky... be thankful...

Go figure.. haha qiqi qiqi...

Esteler=ice teler=some kind of ice kachang but instead of using kacang, they replace it with fuits like avocado, honeydew and watermelon.. so now i know what it means... went to eat at Esteler that very afternoon.. been wanting to try out that place for quite some time.. bey and i ate the chicken noodle... it really reminds me of the chicken noodle i ate at Tanjung Pinang.. tasted some of qiqi's Mee Bakso.. overall the food was Nice.. Really authentic indonesian food.. had the famous grilled banana.. Supalicious! chocolate rice and grated cheese was put on the banana before grilling and then put on susu pekat manis.. it realy kinda melts in ure mouth.. kinda taste like the banana pizza at Pastamania.. must try!

she hides it so well with the smile and the tears......

its been 4 weeks since hy hols started and im now left with two more..... wasted my hols....most of it....

On my first week, i decided to take a rest before going job huntingthe following week... never did i expect to 'rest' for three weeks and now it is the fourth week... haiz...

when i first got the job a Sheraton Towers, i was delighted.. i mean i got the job, confirmed, the manager tolad us that, despite starting two weeks later, i didnt mind... a part of me felt relieved that i had a job so i wont have to be worried about not having money cos now, getting money from my mum wasnt easy no more... just when i was keeping my hopes up... it all came crashing down back onto me... i found out that the days which i booked all was not approved or what ar but the bottomline was that i did not get to work even a single day... i was devastated.. how would you feel if that were to happen to you.. waited two weeks only to find out that.. felt like bombing the hotel down mann... only if i could... with anger boiling inside, i tried my best to remain as calm as possible. went to the office and talked to the whoever-in-charge in the room...i told my situation..and her reply was simply fuck man.. she told me to just book for the following week.. only god knows how i was feeling at that very moment... i then shoot back saying what kind of system was this and that, i was about to go all the way out man..it was just a matter of time till profanities and curses was thrown to them...luckily she cut me as soon as i started talking as she said there are still places left and she could put me on sat and sun to work... god bless her damn it... and at least i get to work and have money... sat came and left as soon as it started.. initially indera and i were told that we'll start at 6-2am but after working, we're told to go back at 11, after the function ended... luckily we didnt mind as we were already feeling kinda tired... just doesnt feel like working... hmmm.... the work was fine.. we handles the beverage.. serving the guest all kind of drink... soft-drinks, chinese tea, brandy, red wine, beer and stout... easy job.. but the standing part sucks... i hate standing and have nothing to do... i rather walk around or do something... Sun was better... i was attached to another senior... oklah.. he's good.. i was given the opportunities to serve the food to the guest.. it was kinda hard having to use the forkand spoon to serve as a substitute to the normal tongs... but i manage to get used to it.. and i get to carry the big tray on my shoulder.. tuff one there... my only fear that the things will drop luckily it didnt... my senior told me i did great that day... learned alot of new things...

On mon, while i was lying on the sofa watching tv as usual, i received a call from Swissotel Merchant Court to come down on tues at one for training.. I was overjoyed! i went to the training... was told alot of things.. the manager is friendly, constantly making jokes. Brief us with all the procedures, what to do and what to expect so that we wont be lost or dont know what to do on our first day...1-4.. i was enlightened thanks to the training...he said that they will call us and tell to come down for one day for on-job-training(OJT) before starting work.. i'll be working either on mon or thurs.. good enough for me.. They are very systematic, i'm impressed! unlike Sheraton where they dont even have a standard procedure and protocol.. such a disgrace...

Nothing better to do so i decided to wite another post... I'm just trying to kill time before going for the 4e3 cum bbq cum reunoin...Decided to go after all.. been a long time since i meet up with them.. Hmm...

My mum went Raye with her gal friends.. hahaha.. believe it or not, they did.. 4 mums went out together with no kids nor husbands... quite sumting aint it.. hahakz..I personally thinks dat Hari Raye was ok for me dis year, went out on 4 occasion.. went out on the ferst friday of raye wif my ITE peeps, was quite a blast.. even some of my chinese friends followed, giving chocs as a gift to every house dat we went to.. Went to quite a numbers of places from Jurong to BP to Sengkang and then Admiralty..Left the last house at 12++.. Gained a few pounds from dat day i bet.. The next raye outing was on the 2nd friday of syawal with my sec friends.. It was not a blast... Things changes.. it was not the same again.. The bond just wasnt there.. There were so much negative aura... Unhappiness, sarcasm and boredom was so evident in the atmosphere... People were divided.. could'nt blame anyone i guess.. i spent most of the time talking to the guys and bey instead..the guys were jokers.. haha.. same old them... i just dont get it..whats wrong.. is it an offence to walk wif ure partners.. i mean u guys take a little to much of the time to walk and get to places so much so that we didnt had enough time to go to some of their houses.. we are not complaining so we decided to walk first.. Haiz.. people people.. and the irony thing was that if we spent to much time close to each other, they will be like saying dat we are inseparable and if we did otherwise they will be like, "what happened? wats wrong? are they fighting? they are not together isit?".. humans will be humans.. we cant change the way they want to think.... The next day was better, quite a blast..Me, bey, indera, nisa, sabby and the musketeers Nisa's baby was the joy.. she was absolutely 100% adorable.. it was fun..laugh our ass off through out the day.. haha.. put qiqi together with farhan and you will get histeria.. like as if laughing gas was in the air... clowns to be the are indeed.. Sunday we went to Ma'am's house, she moved to Rosewood condo, it was undeniably superb piece of art. haha i'm exagerating but it really is a nice apartment. Had soup kambing and bee hoon goreng there.. supalicious... We went our separate ways but before dat we did manage to seek forgiveness in the middle of causewaypoint shopping centre, hugging and shaking hands, luckily no one broke into tears.. Gonna miss you guys...

Now that Shawal is ending, i therefore like to take this opportunity to seek forgiveness from all you guys that i didnt get a chance to do so. Sincere apology from deep in my heart.. forgive me my frens....

Yawn...Woke up at 12 today, kinda tired after doing nothing much yesterday.. went job hunting with Indera at 9 in the morning, i was late due to a traffic congestion at BKE. What a drag, was so sleepy in the bus, seems like ages since i woke up that early in the morning ever since the hols started.We went to Sheraton Towers just to try our luck after being told by ren that they are probably hiring. Guessed lady luck was on our side dat fateful day, we got the job! The interview was'nt really like a proper interview, more like a briefing of what we were going to expect. We were told that we're only able to stat work only at the following week as there are to much new comers starting work next week. Fine for me. Got 1 whole week to rest but the thing is dat, my money are drying up fast. Damn. But all the more we were grateful to find a job. We then try to make our way out of the maze-like building, WE WERE LOST! Hahakz! We only manage to get out after 10 mins, we found out dat we took the wrong lift, how silly can we get? haha Damn joker dat Indera. Aimlessly made our way to town, we didnt noe what to do or where to go as it is still early, 10.30AM, and the shops are still not opened. Decided to have an early lunch at KFC and then wonder around the shopping malls before going back to my crib to lepak.. Lepak lepak lepak.... Indera left at 7.40 and i was left alone in my house with nothing to do.. My parents went shoppings, abg work and adeq went to meet his friends.. Did some blogg hoping while listening to Taufiks songs. Yupz. I got them all! Only left Me and Mrs Jones to search for... Then went to watch Double Vision That was on AXN, pretty lame show.. Just trying to kill time before i left at 12.30AM to fetch bey frm work..Decided to catch the last LRT as i dont want to waste my money on the night rider to CCK..Bey had to work at CCK for that particular day only as they were short of manpower.. She was spooked by all the stories that ren manifested into her.. Notty ren.. I then reached home at 2.30AM only to turn in at 3.30am..ZzzZZzzz

missing u so much...

i dream... i can run... like the wind and be strong...

First of all... TAUFIK IS THE SINGAPORE IDOL!!! YEAH!! Something that is to be proud of, especially for the malays. Been quite a journey for him. Won't forget the ordeal that i went through together wif bey, sabby and daus during the finals at the red carpet. It was disastrous! Imagine going there watch the show at the BIG SCREEN only to find out at the very last min that the producers were'nt going to erect it! fook them man! After the gruelling hours standing at the red carpet, with all the obnoxious SLY fans that were all dressed in pink with CONSTANT emotional breakdowns for not getting to see the other idols.. Damn... What were they thinking?? Was it the end of the world?? Omigod! Daus and was like giving the 'what-the-hell look' every now and then.. But it was kinda hilarious though.. hahaha We rushed at exactly 7.50pm to sabby's house in a cab to watch the show instead.. yes i noe.. pathetic aint it.. haha.. Despite the migrain that was going on in my head due to the warm weather.. but seeing bey having a wonderful time paid off.. We voted, me and bey 6 times each, daus 5 times and sabby with the total of more than 60 i think together with her mums vote.. He sang absolutely well that night.. His soulful rendition of ME and Mrs Jones was exceptional.. and so was Superstitious and I Dream..Thank god TAUFIK didn't dissapoint us.. Salutes to him man..
