Haiku: Bloody Winter

I remember the time when we were taught Haiku during one of our lectures and the following week, I received praises for the Haiku(s) I created. Yeahh. Bloody exciting.

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your
arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping
yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she
carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from
in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love
resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is
reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion
that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

7 years ago, I discovered this tips, or poem as you may call. I would write this poem over and over again in every book that I have. It came to point where I could remember the lines by heart.

It is a beautiful poem of what and how a woman's beauty should be.

The author of the above poem is Sam Levenson (December 28, 1911-August 27, 1980), an American humorist, writer, television host and journalist. Sam Levenson wrote "Time Tested Beauty Tips" for his grandchild. However, the poem soon became falsely attributed to Audrey Hepburn.

Contrary to many internet postings and email-go-rounds, Audrey Hepburn didn't write this lovely poem. The poem was mis-attributed to her because she often quoted it and had read it to her children.

This is a great poem and it's inspirational.

* She sure is pretty, isn't she?

Iconized

Not bad lah kan for a 5 minutes effort? Haha~

* Seriously, you steal, I kill.

Adding Wings to My Writing

Ahaa. Not really. I'm simply in the process of revamping my other writing blog. View to read.

Strange is Writing

I've been trying to write an entry, but there's just too many things going in parallel right now. Anger, stress, joy and laughter, all in a bundle, thrown onto a petite body and soul like mine.

So, for the time being, let me distract you to this page here. I write them during my spare time. Some writing are as old as 4 years, some are still fresh. And it sometimes reflect how I feel, what I am going through, or what I see in others.

I've only posted a few up to today. It takes some time to search for my older writings. Some were destroyed by virus attacks on my lappy so I have to search through my cds to see if I keep a copy of my writings somewhere.

Someone told the world that he liked what I have written. But soon that world had to be erased. Ahaa. I am sorry if some do not understand what I mean here (Yeahh, I feel sober now). I am full of personal stories. After all, this is a personal blog. I hope you don't hate that blog. It may not be great, but it's my personal writing too.

I'll be writing an entry for this blog when my mind is clearer. It's time to balance off my writings with a decent entry soon.

* I hope to have a good weekend.
** Some people are just plain lucky. But I believe this is karma.

Lagi Lagi Birthday

Aku tau rakan-rakan Sepeket sedang menanti post ni. Tau korang masuk blog ni cari samada aku dah upload belum kad siber itu. Huhu. Maaf la lewat. Smlm lupa mau copy kad tu ke pendrive, jd tak dapat blogging dr umah.


Time kasih yer kepada yang design kad ni, Encik Nabil dan Cik Peej. Tapi, aku rs tenaga kerahan pasti lebih banyak datang dari Encik Nabil! Wakakaka!!~

Yang menang moto tu, Bit dan Cik Pin. Haha. Kantoi! Kad original tu, takde pakai simbol CENSORED tu. Aku saje tepek kat muka aku tu. Kalu nak tengok yang original, tengok kat sini la yer. Alaaa, bukan aku tak penah post pic aku kat blog ni pun. Ader je.. Cuma korang kene kerja keras sket jek utk cari! Hehe.

Apapun, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Cik Pin, adik aku kat UUM tu, dan Ugly Betty (artis itu? bkn. rujuk post ini).

Open Source CMS

What is a good open source CMS to build an interactive portal to share files, upload/download files, has a discussion board (forum), multiple sections and sub-menus, and has a blog-like content?

I've just got a domain that I am planning to share with my friends, to build a portal for the Cognitive Science community, especially for all those who are struggling to understand or even define Cognitive Science.

I know my way around Joomla, but I am still open to try out other types of open source CMS. Or perhaps I should code my own?? That's going to be difficult, but GOOD for my portfolio eh? Hmmm..

Emo Playlist??

I think people who cares to read this blog is getting tired of my emo-ness! It's NEVERENDING! I can't even DEFINE emo anymore. Yikes.

But like I've mentioned before, my emo-ness gives me good inspiration. And I am ready to take one step ahead. Of everything. Of caring. Of loving. Of life. Of my emo-ness. Erk~


November will be a good month to start. It's the month with most birthday celebration I know of! Bit, Cik Pin, Yoe, Catherina, my sister, my beloved cousin brother, bla bla, we all share one birthday month - NOVEMBER!!

And to start with getting AHEAD with my emo-ness, here's my EMO playlist. And NO, it's NOT downloadable. And it only consist of Straylight Run. I love their songs. Too bad they don't do good recordings these days.

1. Straylight Run - Existentialism On Prom Night
2. Straylight Run - Your Name Here (Sunrise highway)
3. Straylight Run - Sympathy for the Martyr
   

Did you realize my header?

Ahaa. I got a new header for this blog!

Previously, it had a purple trim. The header reflected my mood well. I was in love. Having fun. And living at my best. Purple is the color of my Converse shoe too!

Not that I don't like my Converse shoe anymore, it's just that, I'm more sober this days. More emotional. More intense. More DEPRESSED. More of myself, I would say.

Ooh. I love the outcome! Told you, I'm far better off without you!

Aidilfitri Card

A few of my friends had been sending e-cards for Aidilfitri. One after another, they start designing their own cards. Some even used Paint to design! One friend who was not aware that the others were designing their own had asked me to come up with a card for her. And I did, voluntarily. I am not satisfied with the result, but this is my best. Sorry Bit, aku sgt2 serabut mlm ni.

The mermaid, the turtle and the moon

Some time ago in 2005, I had a wallpaper that i stole from deviantArt. I can't recall the artist. But it was a beautiful piece of art. It shows the sea, a mermaid, a turtle and a beautiful night.

What interesting was, the mermaid had rose above the sea water, and she was almost touching the moon. While the turtle, which is still in the water, was trying to reach above the sea water. It was almost as though the turtle wanted to be like the mermaid, to be able to reach the moon.

I have a friend who always strive to do the best, in fact, to BE the best. I told that friend about my wallpaper. Today, he tried to call me but he couldn't reach me. So, he left me a message. And this is what he said (sorry bro):

Remember you told me about the story of the turtle that struggled to make it to the surface of the water? And you told me to be the mermaid rather than the turtle? I think I'm becoming the mermaid! I just got the highest mark in my last posting exams. Good start for a final year!

THAT, felt REALLY GOOD. It was a story I told years ago, and he had taken it WAY seriously! I'm glad the mermaid and the turtle became an inspiration to him. Come to think of it, I could use some inspiration now. So, I tried to dig all my CDs and DVDs to see if I still have a softcopy of it. I couldn't find it. I guess, my laptop has been formatted a lil TOOO many times!

It was a masterpiece. And it became inspiration. And although you'll never be as gorgeous as the mermaid Chee Eng, you'll be a GREAT DOCTOR. I know.

Time Bosan, Ni lah Hobi Aku.

Tp tak maju2 gak kehebatan aku nih. Chaitt!!
