Cool
It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life
Passes things, get more comfortable
Everything is going right
And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain
Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown, oh
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
Yeah, I know we're cool
And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles
And now we're hanging out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
C-cool, I know we're cool
I know we're cool
...been hearing this song over the radio for the past few days..cool song..

YOUR CHOICE
The things that happen to you are not nearly so important as the things that happen from you. Today you have a long list of choices. In fact, every moment is a choice.
Will you choose to be healthy or will you choose to pursue illness? Will you choose to make a difference or will you choose to be indifferent? Will you choose to create value or will you choose to create excuses?
Whatever happens beyond your control is, for the most part, no more than a background for your own will and actions. Your circumstances are not what make you or break you -- it's what you choose to do about them.
Think of each moment as a choice. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're just automatically reacting to the world around you. Each thing you do is the result of a choice you have made at some point. To get where you would like to go, make the choices that will take you there.

So, What if I don't care...
'Punish students who smoke in public'
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8:
Students caught smoking in public should face disciplinary action.
"We should take disciplinary action against these young smokers," suggested the Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk G. Palanivel.
"Now, action is only taken when they smoke in the school compound. It should be extended to include those who smoke outside the compound as well."
The move would further strengthen the anti-smoking campaign, he added.
"We need to be more pro-active in enforcing the campaign. Otherwise it will just be posters on the wall and advertisements in the papers, having little or no effect.
"Times have changed, and our culture with it. In the past, smoking in front of the elders is considered uncouth. Now, parents are sharing cigarettes with their children.
"The campaign must go on and we must improve upon it. Education on the hazards of smoking should start from kindergarten," he added.
I have been teaching for more than 10 years and this problem has existed for as long as I can remember schools. Educators, parents and the community have been urged to take various actions to overcome the problem but without success. A lot of prevention programme have been designed to reduce the number of young smokers especially students but to this very day I didn't see if any of them were really much of a help. So, what should we do? Take more sternuous actions against the offenders? Or just let it be?
In my opinion, we have done whatever necessary actions to prevent them from smoking and now it is really up to them to decide whether to lead a life free 0f- or full Of-smoking kind of business. I'm not suggesting that we should ignore them in their choice but if we have done everything we could and still they are going for it, then at that point we should just let them be. Nagging and scolding them will only turn them into rebels.
There were some cases in my school where the students were caned in public (during the school assembly)after they were caught red-handed in the school toilet. And guess what??? Did they become better afterwards? Did they stop smoking? Suprise! Suprise! They definately did change BUT not for the better but for the worse. They became "heroes". They were untouchables. And in the end, all of them were expelled from school. There goes their future!
If only we know what triggers a person to start smoking and live with that, we might have an idea on how to overcome this problem. Most people say it is because of peer influence. But I believe it is more than that. It should have came from within the person himself, an internal urge.
Anyway, whatever it is..the choice is really ours to make.
Have a nice day!

Jerat Percintaan
Siti Nurhaliza
Dalam pertemuan ini
Kita terperangkap sudah
Dalam jerat percintaan
Yang tidak disangkakan
Aku telah jadi lupa siapa diriku ini
Engkau juga dihanyutkan
Oleh arus percintaan
Tapi pabila aku sedar diri siapakah aku ini
Aku tertanya sendiri apakah akan terjadi
Oh apakah kita kan teruskan
Di dalam arus percintaan
Perlukah kita untuk berkorban
Demi pertahankan kebahagiaan
Dalam persimpangan ini
Ku masih terus menanti
Dalam rasa keharuan
Di manakah akhirnya
...I've never really paid attention to this song until recently when I saw Siti's concert at Royal Abert Hall in London (on tv of course!) What made this song so special now???? Well, I believe it's because the persona in the song is just like my own self right now....

Goodbye Endon......
Mood:
sad
Mood:
sad
I still can't bring myself to read the newspaper on the late Datin Seri Endon especially those stories and memories while she was alive and the words she said to Pak Lah. The sadness inside is overwhelming.
Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh allahyarhammah. Amin.

A Great Loss to the Nation
Mood: sad
It came as a shock to me when I heard of the demise of PM's wife on the radio early this morning.
She was such a lovely lady and the last I heard she was recovering from her illnes that she has been battling with for quite some time.
May her soul rest in peace and
may Allah grant her a place among His faithful disciple.
Al_fatihah.
A glimpse of today's news:
Prime Minister's wife dies
The Prime Minister's wife Datin Seri Endon Mahmood died at 7.55 am today at the Prime Minister's official residence in Putrajaya after fighting a long battle with cancer. Endon, 64, breathed her last about 18 days after returning from treatment for breast cancer in Los Angeles, United States.
Endon's death - which comes less than two months after she and Abdullah marked their 40th wedding anniversary - is the biggest personal blow to the Malaysian leader since he took office in October 2003 following the retirement of his predecessor, longtime leader Mahathir Mohamad, the AP meanwhile reported.
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said Abdullah has accepted his wife's death, even though the family was surprised when Endon's condition worsened suddenly early Thursday.
"He was very calm, he is very religious, he has come to terms with it,'' Najib said.
Thousands of people filed past Endon's body, which lay in state wrapped in white linen on a table while Muslim clerics recited verses from the Quran.
Abdullah, Malaysia's fifth prime minister since the country achieved independence from Britain in 1957, had been married to Endon since Sept. 4, 1965.
Abdullah has often called Endon his "No. 1 supporter.''
When his mother died of natural causes in February 2004, Abdullah telephoned Endon in the United States, where she was undergoing treatment.
She later told reporters that he said: "I've lost my mother and I don't want to lose you too.''
Endon was respected for her humble, unassuming personality.
She was popularly referred to as "Kak Endon,'' or "Elder Sister Endon.''
Abdullah and Endon often showed public displays of affection, including hugs and kisses on each other's cheeks.

Now And Forever
Air Supply
When love is new
And the world is not reaching for you
We try hard to hold it all
In our hands
But it slipped through
Like soft drifting sands
But drying the tears
Can build it all like new
CHORUS
Now and forever
Remember the words
From my heart will always be true
Now and forever
Together and all that I feel
Here's my love for for you
Learning each day
That the right time was so far away
To tell you the things I knew
Now it's clear
That the moment
We searched for is here
And counting the years
Is all I want to do
CHORUS
Hold me as close
As love will allow
Until all your fears are gone
What has all passed
Is over now
I'm here with you
I'm here with you
I'm holding on
I'm holding on

Safe Harbour by Luanne Rice
August 1981
Two young, lovely sisters Dana & Lily Underhill (20 & 18 years old) are teaching sailing lessons (to earn money for attending art school) at Newport harbour to a group of wealthy children. One of the kids is a 8 year old 3rd grader, Sam Trevor (oceanographer wannabe). Crooked glasses & teeth with braces, this poor kid was given a life of hope by Dana. She taught him sailing for free. Being with her, he could temporarily forget the hardships back at home.
Unexpectedly an accident takes place while sailing & Sam is injured.
He falls overboard but Dana & Lily save him in nick of time. Dana resusciates him successfully and grateful Sam responds, ’’I’ll protect you forever’’
I read the novel in 3 days just after i finished the previous one (On The Street Where You live.
What I like most about this novel is the way the author described the ocean, the island, the town and the little herbs garden. I feel like I was there myself.

On The Street Where You Live
I've just read this suspense-thriller book by Mary Higgins Clark. From the moment I started reading it I couldn't be apart from it. This is my kind of book. I kept on guessing who was the murderer until the last part of the book when the real murderer was revealed. Thumb up for this!!!!!!!

Whoaaa….am i back or what????? Let me see….. the last I wrote was September 13, so I have been absent for about 25 days..not even enough days to make it a month. I guess virtual life has become a part of me now… can’t stay away from it. I missed the usual stuff, surfing, blogging, reading poems online etc etc but the good thing was I could refrain myself from chatting or going into any chat rooms….hooryyyy…I consider that s a victory….a reason to celebrate!.Toast everyone!
So what have I been doing when I was not online????? Let me check…, ops…most of the time was occupied with sleeping. NO joke! I’m telling the truth. Every nite I went to sleep t 9.30 p.m and sometimes I even slept before 8.00 p.m…no wonder I was puing on weight lately….hmm…
Then the school was killing me! Exams, meetings, courses, reports to be handed, students’ files to be filled in, registration….and worst of all… substitute classes on Saturday!!!!! It was ridiculous of the KPM to do such things….they failed to plan well and made the teachers to pay for it….I’m going to protest to Datuk Hishamuddin! Errr…ok I take my words back… nanti gaji statik!
Last week our school had its annual dinner and Hari Professional at Tang Dynasty KK. It was a fun event especially the dinner. The Pengetua sang a duet number with his wife…what a lovely couple. There were lucky draws, karaoke competition and MAKAN! My favourite!
Ramadhan comes again….beginning 5th Oct is fasting month. Hmmm….no makan! Be strong gurl…. No makan means I will slim down….that’s only if I don’t overeat during buka posa!
Budget 2006 has been announced by PM on 30th September …the focus of attention by most people was is there any bonuses this year???? And the answer was..YES!!!
Goodness gracious me! Look at the time it’s already after 12…. I think I’d better go now..or else I wont get enough sleep or worse I might not be able to wake up for sahur..
So…nite nite!

I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight
And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
