branding my mind - brand in my mine

thanks to miss Syazato! i am so extremely into online shopping right now..hehehehehehe...

it's so convenient, sites can be so detailed about what they're selling that u know almost exactly what u're getting and this makes a trip to the mall so menyusahkan..haha..u may or may not get what u're looking for..but online, u can look until u get what u want n it will eventually be sent to ur door step..hehe..haih...

going through all this information reinforces my want to start my own thing..i'm just really not sure about the risk behind investing my time n money in starting a business..i've been thinking about this for so long it's crazy..but i know that deep down inside, this little side project will make me very happy :)..hehe..

well now i'm in the 'planning-n-writing-a-business-plan' process..will hopefully be able to really kick things off when i graduate next year n take 6-12months off..hahaha..seriously man..i need investors (like my brother n parents, hehehe) that can provide me with sufficient "modal" on top of what ever i'm putting a side myself..in order to do that, i need to produce a killer business plan (something my brother mewajibkan me do) if i even dream of getting anywhere near doing this..i don't even know how to begin to do it..but that shouldn't stop me from trying right..hehehe..

one really huge problem though..i have to be realistic in life right, i definitely don't have the balls (ofcourse i don't, i'm a woman..hahahaha) to drop everything i'm doing n what ever courier plan i have for my future just to feed my need for self-satisfaction..i would love if i could juggle my current pre-planned architecture courier with my obsession in creating my own brand..thing is, i really don't know if that's a good idea..entahlah..am i capable enough to not get distracted by one to screw up the other?..it's scary..

well right now, i really do wanna try anyway..?? gosh..i hope n pray that this is the right decision..hehe..go go aliebarley!

Tropic Thunder

(Official Trailer)

i watched this movie the night i completed my Building Construction examinations 2 days ago..i completely loved it :) it was soo super funny, and Tom Cruise's persona in this movie just blew me away..he is really that damn good an actor..at one point i really considered him to be so full of himself and just an old washed out actor living in the shadow of his younger days, but i honestly take it all back..it was a dumb ass role, but to think that he could pull it off that well was amazing..

i also thought that jack black deserved a better role in the movie though..his was just too stupid..jack has more talent than that..it was somehow one of those roles that any idiot could have easily pulled off..they made use of jack's physical character as a joke too much that i really disagree with the idea..but oh well, slapstick comedy right?..

the on-screen tension between robert downey junior and ben stiller was also really good..i somehow imagined it to be that way a little in real life too, on set..hehe..i dont know why..they were both really good at portraying their roles..and last but not least, the addition of "alpa chino" and the nerdish character that i just can't seem to remember his name, was just icing on the cake lah..

a good stupid joke movie lah this one :)

ps : i really recommend checking out the closing montage for the movie..i like it so much i am so downloading it when i get the chance..it was really well done and plus, with tom cruise dancing like an idiot, i think it's just really entertaining..

Selamat Hari Raya!!!

it's Hari Raya again!!!! and i'm so happy :) hehehehe...

i thought this year's raya experience was a good one...it's been a while since everyone from my extended family balik kampung together-gether...it's been a while more since i caught up with my cousins and their wal hal hidup, hehe...and i'm really glad to know their doing great :)

realising that all my cousins and nieces and nephews are all grown up now is freaking me out just a little bit, knowing that pretty soon i would have to be putting a side money for them as duit raya...haha...watching my dad and brother sit on the dining table the last night of puasa like ceti haram-s counting money and dividing them into little green packets...so systematic...

my closest cousin who's a year older than me now has 2 beautiful little kiddos that's so so adorable i feel like squeezing the life out of them...the eldest boy, Nashriq, came and hugged my head out of the blue one night and just made me feel so excited i wanted to pinch him...honestly, i find it a miracle that i can feel this way with kids because i used to be so freaked with these little creatures i wouldn't dare touch one let alone play with them...they seem so fragile, it's like if my clumsy ganas hands is anywhere near them they might just shatter into a million pieces.

one of my nephew's pulak has the most fantastic smile that just brightens up your day without fail...this little guy is such a sensitive creature, he cried his eyes out on hari raya day because their cat, Herbie, went missing that morning and he was nowhere to be found...my nephew wouldn't eat or drink and just locked himself in his room until we convinced him to go look for Herbie ramai-ramai...sadly we didn't find him then...but on the 2nd day of raya, Herbie came meow-ing back on his own dirty and hungry from his new found Melaka adventure...hehe...he had a shower, ate his food and stayed indoors for the remaining days.

freaking all my cousins and nephews and nieces have a handphone each ok...what has technology brought us to? hahahaha...it's crazy...i was too lazy to bring my camera balik kampung this year, and i so regret it!...i just really loved this raya a lot, it was so much fun...

owh, we also had a collective birthday party...hehe...everyone who's birthday is in this month was celebrated on the 2nd night of raya...and after the candle blowing festivities, there was a fireworks exhibition! cheh...haha...it was really nice though, we all set on a mat in the garden and watched the fireworks break into pretty little flickering lights above our heads...it made me appreciate still having a kampung house to go back to during raya and having my family to share the experience with...

i am utterly thankful, alhamdulillah...:)

Tick Tock, Will Time Say Stop?

possibly torn
incomplete and unborn
the feelings inside
which my heart cannot hide

for love or for life
for right or for height
for which passion ignites
for which is brighter in light

dazed and amazed
unbelievably hazed
what i feel inside?
do they feel a flight?


the truth to be told
in future it holds
guilty yet happy?
an epic story...

clear but a liar?
regrettably so familiar
yet cautiously grazing the unfamiliar

this engulfing feeling...
my desire.

cause you gotta have faith :)

sometimes, we really dont realize that we have a lot kept locked up within us until, well for girls, we get our period and our emotions go out of control...

sitting there crying, uncontrollably really lets someone swim deep into ones thoughts and realize things a person never did before..feelings buried so long ago, secrets forgotten, almost entirely since whenever they happened..

there's a saying that the happiest and loudest people in the world have the most to hide..but sometimes people do forget that quite ones do to..the only difference is some people are able enough to carry their burdens and continue walking, while some either find themselves too weak or too afraid and confused to do so..

this is why consideration towards others are so important..since life is filled with so many connections it is easy to forget to regard each person as an individual, and never assume or commit a perception to anyone so easily..

if you feel that your life is filled with torment and frustration, never forget that the person beside you laughing or trying to comfort you may have much much more hidden inside..

being sensitive and positive towards others is always a good trait to practice..we all have our own skeletons in our closet..and everyone should have or should really invest in a person to occasionally rearrange these skeletons with so that life would be easier to handle..

patience and optimism will always, always pay off in the future, no matter how long it takes, if we believe in it and look for it, we will find it eventually..have faith..thats the only thing left these days...
