the animal in me

Another day, another post.

I am thinking of getting a rabbit and a sugar glider. A friend of mine is selling her rabbit for RM10. I would have to go find a cage, hay, pellets, litter box, litter tray and stuff. lol. I can't wait...well, actually...I can. I have name for my future pets

GIRLS - Eva, Jaya Perkasa

BOYS - Hengky Sy, Sy, Hengky

lol. pretty boring names huh? hehehe, ah...I would just have to settle for those names because I'm not creative and can't think of any better names

Another picture of Laura Ramsey's tattoo

I have another picture of Laura Ramsey's tattoo. This is basically the same pic as the previous one but personally I think this one is better because it's a little bit bigger than the previous pic so you could see a lil' bit more details.Yes, another picture of her tattoo.lol...I know, we just can't get enough of it.

Quite a number of people stumbled upon this site because of her tattoo. Uh huh, I have a new favourite actress now.

P/S: I got this picture out of a website but unfortunately I don't remember which one.

The not so talented whistler

I have quite a few tin whistles but everytime when I want to play or fiddle with them I just can't seem to find them. Let me see what I have.

1. Feadog D brass
2. Feadog D brass
3. Generation D brass
4. Walton's Mellow D
5. Clarke Sweetone D
6. Clarke Meg D
7. Walton little black whistle D
8. ....

hmm...I don't quite remember. I'm pretty sure I have another one or two more but it's not ringing a bell right now. Yes, my whistles are all in D. lol. All those whistles were given to me actually so bless their kind soul.

I'm not really good in playing it but I do play it for fun. The first song I learned was lough erin shore by the corrs. I used to be a big fan of them..wait, I am still am! hehehe. I got to know the tin whistle through Andrea Corr. I am still trying to play haste to the wedding and I have been doing so since last year. lol. I never quite got the hand of it.

so there you go, I don't play the tin whistle well (infact they tell me to not quit my day job - not that I have one anyway) but I still play it for fun!!!!!!

My prerogative - Yasmin Ahmad

I was going through the news yesterday or was it a couple of days ago... It was berita harian and Yasmin Ahmad was in it. I quite like her and I think I always have had liked her. lol. well actually no. I only knew about her last year or was it the year before. I don't know but I don't like her because people are gushing on the beauty of her works but I like her for being so genuine, so creative, so full of life. Her works are great but I personally feel that it is her personality that gets to most people.She is truly a storyteller! Her parents are beautiful people, I wish my parents were like that but no, I have to settle with having a broken family. All is not lost though, things can only get better from now on.

There's this one thing that I always say to myself and to others and it is

"Have faith"

uh huh, I even say it when I know that it won't happen but I guess I'm just trying to set up a positive mindframe. lol.

You know what people say - A positive mindframe = a positive soul = happiness = joy = etc, etc and the list goes on...hehehe, never heard of that one? well I guess it's because I just made that up. hehehe.

How can I write about her and not post a link to her blog which I bet most of you would have already known by now

http://yasminthestoryteller.blogspot.com/ wow. her blog has a google pr of 4

Mika - Grace Kelly!!!!

I've gone identity madddddddddddddddddd!! love the song

The rainy days are in

I have caught the disease - the disease of being intensely lazy! I skipped three days of classes last week and one day this week! What is becoming of me. I guess I have to say goodbye to all those ambitious dreams of mine.

I guess this is the monsoon season now. I love the rain but then again there are times when I totally loathe it especially when I'm having my classes at the fast track. The students parking are in a questionable condition - muddy and I've seen one or two cars being stucked in the mud. I might have to go park somewhere else.

Final say: I have a love-hate relationship with the rain

Cheap booze, chocolates and ciggies

I typed this out earlier.

Wohoo! I arrived Labuan yesterday. Yes, Labuan… heaven for chocoholics and alcoholics. Lol. duty free baby!!!! Can you believe it? Jack Daniels for RM55!!!!, it used to be RM60 but now it’s down by RM5…holy canoly!!!! Lol, I bought 2 JDs (obviously both is not for me, 1 for my brother and 1 for moi!) In KK, JDs cost about twice that amount (RM100++)…now that is one thing that we can say “whoaaaaaaah!” to.

The chocolates and the alcohols here are dirt cheap compared to Sabah. The ferry ride was quite boring except moments when the ferry was rocking side to side due to the strong wind and waves. That was a freaky moment but I had to stay cool because my nephew was in the car. Labuan is quite a nice island, the city is quite ‘polluted’ by trash. It isn’t that bad but it is noticeable though…but further from the city you can a lot of the sea and remarkably the further you are from the city, the cleaner it gets…or so to speak. There are quite a number of expats here in Labuan and some of the house that I’ve seen here are beyond my wildest imagination…another thing that we can say “whoaaaaaaah” to. I saw this mansion and it’s so huge that I thought it was some hall or something. Victoria Mansions (It’s like an estate or housing area with mansions – very exclusive, probably for the crème de la crème of Labuan)

We are staying in Manikar Beach Resort which used to be a really nice 5 star hotel. It’s up and running now but the facilities aren’t the way they were before. The pool is quite nice though. I loved the fact that the pool is an infinity pool and overlooking the beaches. It’s very nice – you could run to the sea, have a quick dip, wash self and then run over to the pool to have a swim. The idea of it all is very exciting.

We will be going back to Kota Kinabalu tomorrow with the 1 o’clock ferry ride but I think it will be a little bit delayed though. I have nothing more to write so this is it for now.

Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu

Here comes the kk bandaraya celebration post. There's nothing much really to write about the celebration. It was beautiful, fun and grandddddddd though. I'm not really good at describing things. hmm...

The theme of the celebration was 'lanterns' - coinciding with chinese new year. There were a lot of very beautiful lanterns being paraded. We went there quite late so there wasn't much to see by the time we got there BUT the fireworks were great, great, great. The fireworks were beautiful and it went on for quite a while. I was captivated by the fireworks display but at the same time I cannot stop thinking about how much is being 'burned' with just those fireworks display...hehehe, mind the pun please.

Everything seems to be going just fine for our beloved city of Kota Kinabalu. I could be wrong but let us get in a positive frame of mind on this brand new year.

I am loving those fireworks. Keep 'em coming!

Replacing the TYT?

I need to jot this down before I forget about it

Apparently the current chief minister wanted to replace the current TYT (Tuan Yang Terutama for the state of Sabah) to another person (I don't remember the name but apparently this person is related to the chief minister through marriage). Our chief minister then flew to the peninsular to meet up with the prime minister and told him that our TYT is incapable of performing his tasks as he is unwell. The prime minister then flew to sabah to ask for himself if it is true that he is unwell but obviously the TYT, being in a good condition said no and stated that he wanted to continue on for his second term. (hehehe, I don't know for sure if that was what he said and the even that went on but I guess it was something along the lines of what I had interpreted)

..so that's the story, he is staying! Our current TYT was appointed under the advise of our then chief minister, Datuk Chong Kah Kiat. He broke the tradition as previously TYTs were chosen from people with political lineage but this one was 'completely unknown' in the political arena. Datuk Chong Kah Kiat (from what I've heard from people) has almost the same distinction as our previous Prime Minister, Tun Dr.Mahathir - for being unique, wanting to do things differently.

At this time and era Sabah's administration, it is good to be related to Musa Aman. (I guess you would already probably know why. Hint : This era is the Musa Aman clan area

It's bandaraya day today for Kota Kinabalu. I went out to watch the celebrations but I won't be writing about it today. I had a great time though but that's all i have to say for now, I'll save it all for tomorrow. Stay tuned!

grasping on my previous post

I just noticed that my previous post which was titled

"Sabah Development Corridor...theoritically speaking"

was my very first 'politically themed' post. It felt good unleashing those thoughts out on paper (or in my case, in my blog). Expect great things to come! I could as well be the future KDM leader! lol

ciao~
