Of Baskin & shopping!

My sister is back home from Syd for a week. I've done nothing but hang out with her the past couple of days. Today we got our hair done, did abit of shopping and ate Baskin's dark chocolate ice cream. It's been a great day indeed. No day can go wrong with Baskins.
We seldom spend time together cos she lives across the ocean. Tomorrow's another day of fun; watching dvds.

Before I end the night, a beautiful phrase by the exceptionally talented Coelho: May love fill your heart, compassion guide your mind and faith rule your soul.

Happy 54th Independence Day, Malaysia. May you prosper for your citizens!

My reminder on Life etc..

It's been awhile since I've written. I've been through quite a month, so many things to get done, so little time. There never seem to be enough hours in a day. This time around, I'm gonna work smart and allow myself some time to unwind every week. Life should be simple.

Today is a supposed to be a quiet lazy Sundays, but I'm reading up on cyberlaws in Malaysia. While reading for work, I like to also read for pleasure...and I found this awesome picture that very much describe how we all should view life. Sometimes we need a reminder cos we often forget how simple life should be. A mantra for all on life.

Muse - Starlight

My first post for June. This has been quite an exasperating month thus far. Trying hard to keep well and sane, the least. Never been a fan of Muse, but this one is real catchy especially after hearing it in the Crazy, Stupid Love trailer. Our hopes and expectations....something to ponder!

solo a tu lado quiero vivir

This song brings back so many memories of the time where I loved watching telenovelas. My love for telenovelas were at its peak a couple of years back. I absolutely love spanish tunes; this one is one of my fave. I tried so hard to learn and sing this song. I managed quite well I must proudly add. My fave line: el amor de mi vida eres tu!

My lesson for the day!

It's only Wednesday, but it does feel like it's been a long and tiring week. That explains why the short nap I wanted to take actually lasted for 5 1/2 hours instead. I must be absolutely exhausted yet I push myself further. I have no choice really, the amount of work that needs to be done is not equivalent to the amount of time I have yet. It's already midnight yet I'm still up preparing slides for lectures, not to mention the amount of grading I have to get done which actually scares me.

In midst of working, I came across such beautiful words of comfort:

"God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way".

God reach out to us in mysterious ways, I always believe that and I have always been showed words of encouragement during time of trials in my life. I take comfort in those words.

Self motivation on a monday morning!

Thought of the day:

If you only walk on sunny days, you'll never reach your destination.

The week that is

There are times when you realise there isn't any need for unnecessary interaction. If people around you can't understand what you are going through and call themselves your friends, then you need to evaluate who your friends are.

My time should be spent with only positive people, not people who belittle my problems. I need spiritual presence in my life, to help calm me down. I need to revamp my life and priorities. I need to do this now.

Johann Pachelbel Canon in D

I remember during my travels in Paris some 10years ago, I heard this tune for the first time in my life. A busker near the subway station leading to the Arc de Triomphe played this on this violin. He was so awesome and I fell in love with this tune. He told me what it was called, Pachelbel Canon in D will be the tune I will use to walk down the aisle one fine day.
