U know winter is near when...

iam sick!
not with life..
but sick as in..
headache, body ache, fever, migraine and all round not feeling good sick.
its a sign, i know.. oh i dont feel like seeing anybody this weekend!!!

mum told me we're doing a bit of a 'makan-makan' this sunday for a couple of people..
so called late raya thingy..
the menu is superb, obviously because i came up with it :)
but u see, with this fever.. i dont feel like waking up in the morning!


ah.. it will get better..
wont it?

Down memory lane...

KRU - Negatif

This is what i do before going to bed.
Gosh, how the music scene have changed heh?
but then again.. music that we grew up with is sometimes the best thing of all

Imagine....

I was watching something that i knew would hold my attention and my tired eyes..
It was a documentary styled interview by Alan Yentob titled Imagine.
Artist for this episode was Jay-z.

I cant claim to be in love with Hip Hop or Rap,
I cant claim that i rhyme for money and i come from the street,
and i cant claim that hip hop is the music of my life, thus refusing to listen to anything else.
those who knows me, know that, i rock out hard too..

The reason i was sooo fascinated by Jay-z was, this fella, who came from Brooklyn projects rise to be one of the most talented and powerful player in hip hop and without a doubt, music industry.
I wonder, does he have self-doubt?
I wonder, what does he think about before he sleeps?
I wonder, what does he think about when he wakes up in the morning?

I like him. I adore him. I think he is a fantastic role model and no doubt, his clothes.. BLING!!
(thats me attempting street talking :) )

And he holds a special place in my heart because.. the first record i remember memorising the lyrics to was his song 'Can i get a'
I was desperate for Glastonbury.
Ive been wanting to go since i step foot on England, but circumstances didnt allow me..
it was the same this year..
so there i was, at home.. watching him play the gig of his life..
and i think he succeeded.
and Noel Galllagher looked like a rite plonker..
He brought hip hop to what is essentially an English festival..

I know this clip is over-used.
but iam posting it anyway..
because, i happen to think, this is the best opening ever!



For a boy who came from the projects, i dont think he did badly at all.
i love how he portrayed (or the docu editor) himself.
he knows what he wants, he gets it..
I wish i have his vision.
i wish i take more risk..

all this risk talking before going to sleep aint good.
i will start evaluating my life, and thats not something u do before falling asleep.


ah, forget it.
lets talk music.
i have been totally out of touch with the latest music offering actually.
i havent been listening to the radio, and when i do, its the same ol drab thats been playing over the summer.
maybe there's a lack of new music.
maybe, i havent been away for THAT long :)

When i grow up,

Have u ever felt the anticipation of doing the most simplest thing in life?
like.. really feeling all happy and giddy, knowing u will finally get to see that old time black and white movie, knowing u will get to Starbucks in a couple of minutes to drink em awesome ice-blended, or stepping into marks & spencer to purchase their yummy chocolate marble cheesecake.

Iam asking this for iam as excited as a bunny since i will be sitting down with a cup of tea and read the ginormous newspaper that we bought.
Sunday paper..yes, Malaysia has their sun/times/mail with all em supplements.
But nobody does supplements magazines with their Sunday newspaper like the English.
Holy macaroni!
Talk about extras!
thats like.. to keep u busy for 3 or 4 hours.. and iam not kidding!
U cant read the newspaper while watching the telly, no, or while eating ure breakfast.. NOPE!
It needs ure full concentration...
so, iam switching on the radio (Uk top ten, since i feel soooooo outdated with the on-goings of the latest music ) and iam reading the world news like my life depend on it..
well, it does in a way.. since bloody credit crunch is affecting every-freaking-body!

rite.. so, have a fantabolous sunday!!

ps: oh oh oh, the end of summer time is here. For u people who think its 17.06pm, its actually 16.06pm! iam telling u, this clock changing thing just messes up ure head dont it?

Happy Diwali

I am sitting here talking to hammy and seeing how happy she is to receive gifts from home just reminds me that, deep down, we all want to be remembered and appreciated.

I sometimes feel I am not appreciated, and i do things to make people happy, without them knowing how much trouble i have gone thru in order to help them out/to make them happy. I am not asking for a medal/prize/money.. I just wish that human beings would see that not all things are bad and not everything is gloomy. I then wonder and ask myself, 'why do u help out?' and over and over again, i would say.. 'imagine being in their shoes'

I talked to a Ezu recently about how we always put ourselves in the other person shoe...and this aint good coz we cant lash out on em! We feel the pity, we feel the sorrow and oh goodie, its all back to.. 'oh gosh.. what would i do if i was in his/her position'
and as ezu said.. 'i wish someday i could just stop being a grown up an do something unreasonable'

I am a people pleaser. This is something i have realize, and iam in the same boat with hammy. It aint good and it aint healthy! people tend to use u. but what can u do? when u do something for someone the basis of friendship, u cant do it half heartily. i know i cant.

but then again, i have had amazing friends that do things for me. Oh gosh! the amount of time they pull up at my house, bringing me out to dinner/party/days out/nites out/chill time and not once complaining about it! i mean, i have amazing friends!
and with this blog as a witness! next round of driving is on me..
now, if only i can convince my brothers to lend me their car...

i want to wish to all those who celebrate, HAPPY DIWALI!
it's the festival of lights, and may the lords light show u the way!

oh gosh, i can never be a good preacher!

ps: btw! why do soooooo many women find cockney accent sexy? Hold up, ignore that. Danny Dyer is definitely sexy!

Bowl of soup

U know winter is here when all u want is to curl up warm and drink soup all day

*sigh*

iam not prepared for winter!
i have no boots!
and my summery curtain is still up!!!!

erh!
oh the plus note, winter means great telly ! :)

so,welcome winter!

as i drove around today..

As i drove around (wooaaahh, finally!) today, i realize a couple of things...

people dont change. if they have been complaining the last time u see them, they will prolly complain about how the weather is the next time u see them. even if the weather has been perfect

I havent missed Autumn. when i was in malaysia, i was scared i was gonna miss the wonderful auburn, gold, chocolate colours of Autumn. but i havent. Some of the trees still havent shed their leaves, so its wonderful.

We have been getting some wonderful weather. the Sun is out, and its lovely.

People in sabah love their state and country more than the Semanjung residence. Everywhere u go u could see the sabah and malaysian flag. EVERYWHERE!

and i realize, sitting at home lazing around is more tiring than doing a day's worth of work!

and thats all the realization for today.Please come back for more, on another day.

Good Nite!

ps: oh paivi, david changed his email!
contact me so i can give it to u! :)

Flying Colours!

'Well, rashidah, iam pleased to say that you have PASSED'

so folks, you have a driver from now on

Start the countdown!

I havent updated for ages,
forgive me, but iam on a holiday..
