Oh well, I've too many things to pen down hence you have many things to read :P Anyway, I am not gonna blog about how much I'm gonna blog. Now, I feel like putting some song lyrics I am addicted to, at the moment ;)

title .. It's difficult to reach out
It's a new dawn. It's a new day. It's a new life, for me.
This morning my dad asked me, "Are you gonna work after you graduate?"
I nodded, of course. What else you'd expect me to do - say "die"? Like I answered my sister? Lol. That was a joke of course, yes. So anyhoo, while on the ride, I set thinking what am I gonna do? Definitely I wanna embark on my career and have a proper well-paying job. Somewhere I can gather relevant experience for job enlargement, yea. And the cash multiplies, you know! That's what I wanna be - r i c h. Rich. Ye, rich by the definition of "possessing great material wealth."
There's something that I feel I need to say but up 'til now I've always been afraid
When I was younger, I had many dreams and often change my "dream job". I can hardly recall what the term "dream job" even means now.
Some dream of being an artist. Some dream of being a writer/author. Some dream of being executive in media and publishing. Some wanna be the world's famous soccer player, the next Pelé. Some wanna be an artist of a record-label. Some wanna be the world's best HipHop rapper, the next Jay-Z.
I do have nonsensical things in my mind too, like I wanna be, a sound technician, air-traffic controller, hairstylist, an accountant, a video director, market researcher. Oh and the latest on my mind is that I wanna be like Matthew Bellamy and Carlos Santana cus they're just the awesomest ever!
I realised all these years I decided not to pay much attention to my interest and talent and to be brutally frank, I envy people with aspirations. They have dreams. They have in ind what they wanna do and do it good in the future. The slight thought of trying to make it big, somewhere someday, is just too difficult for me ;) I prolly won't ever get the chance again to "think thoroughly" what am I gonna do based on my "ambition".
I dream I can fly, like the wind and be strong.

title .. If I let you go
Day after day Time passed away And I just can't get you off my mind Nobody knows, I hide it inside I keep on searching but I can't find
The courage to show to letting you know I've never felt so much love before
And once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out
But if I let you go I will never know What my life would be holding you close to me Will I ever see you smiling back at me? How will I know if I let you go?
Night after night I hear myself say Why can't this feeling just fade away There's no one like you (no one like you) You speak to my heart (speak to my heart) It's such a shame we're worlds apart

title .. Stop wondering
As the canaries chirp away on the rooftop; I woke up to a gorgeous Sunday. Sweet Sunday morning.I sat on the bed, switched on my notebook and felt the urge to strum to few songs on the guitar. I gripped the guitar by the neck, place it on my lap while I sit on the edge of the bed. I was sure it felt like it was a C,Am,F,G progression.
That sounded damn familiar.
What is it, I thought. Ahh of course, it was the first song I composed for someone. Yea, someone. It is rather personal and I kept it quite close to me ;) Things after things, issues after issues, months pass by, what did I do? I just had to let things fly by, I let loose of things I should've had a grip on. Now, I feel "it" near. How silly it was. How silly it is. How silly it will be. It is just me lah. Zakia and her ego. Let it. I am crafting scenes in my jumbled mind to make sense of things. I am aware I am ultra young at matters of infatuations. Issues about dusted heart. These shouldn't even be at the entrance of my mind. To be honest, I am fanciful of imaginative flings. Wait; I recalled.. Ahh. Pinkerton syndrome, was what Ahmad told me.
It was hilarious how we started to talk. It is etched in my mind. Somehow as ants crawl, squirrels die and butterflies flap their wings, you were gradually fading from my box of thoughts. You told me something that I will always remember, though. Think of the positive things when in pain. You crossed my mind when I had my canines extracted..
Now, when I see you, somehow the stars are not shining anymore, we no longer smile to each other, we no longer even try to acknowledge each other's presence anymore :( The future is nearing, I can see the lives of other people alongside with mine. No matter what, you will still be the one I wrote a song for. There won't be the sixth time you're on my mind today. <3
Should he know that he is the one I was referring to?

You see, it was a gorgeous Friday morning as I was getting ready for school.. I thought I sensed a presence of something rather unusual in my brother's room. Like there was this something that seemed not real is there but I witnessed and believed it was there. Well, it was awesome. Most awesome feeling I ever had. Indescribable.
First hug.
First kiss.

title .. Unearthly hour's entry
When most of the time, you have more than one thing on your mind it get tangled up, yes? Well, I don't kno really.. All the time it is like that for me and I know it is because I only allow it to. I secretly wish at times like this, my dad owns a veranda that I can go outside to - sit on the bench in my hoodie enjoying the breeeze yo, take a breather whenever I feel like it with intention for relaxation. Earth to Zakie; a wish is just a wish.
I need a blank mind, I can't channel it blank when I want need it to. Something always get in the way, like a blob of paint on a new page of the notebook(the paper notebook I mean). Thoughts are something I "craft" with bits and parcel of incidences that happened in my life. That is either the silliest thing I've ever said or the most interesting. Ya fink? I sppose I've to put thru cognitive processes to my thoughts to make um redefined. Feelings can be generated from thoughts, you know. What am I arriving at, actually? Hmmm, bottom line: the sole requirement of having a thought is to have a brain. Cool or wot ;)
Justin is making me learn French (the language - of course), because he made it sound so fine when he sings! Gah. Tu peux marcher dans mes pas.

Don't ever. Don't ever call yourself what you are not. I swear, its mother fucking deceiving when you call yourself "resource centre" but you are not a shitty tad bit useful. Screw that. Why even bother providing the service? Why can't you be like Trojan huh; they are named as what they do and what they are, you know. They invade by posing as something else. And that is what the Trojan(malware) is..
Nonsense nonsense, now I've no mood to rummage through documents and be hardworking today. RPRC just had to soil my Furrfurr- scratch that its no longer adorable. But a simple "Friday morning" suits the sentence.

Christmas trees are beautiful. Haven't seen any of them? It's everywhere along the stretch of Orchard Road, go and check it owt! I like the decoration lights, ornaments, garlands and the presents under the tree! Like how we see in typical Christmas movies, how adorable ent it!
Oh oh and I.. I.. I am in a mood to make cookies! And suddenly "wherever you are, whenever it's right, you'll come out of nowhere and into my life," is ringing in my head. Michael, oh Michael! Doesn't he somehow remind you of my old love, Leon? ;) Or is it just that Leon reminds me of Michael? Either way, it makes sense! Love!

title .. Ooh addiction
I have a confession to make, I am addicted to Cafe World. It's an awesome FB arrrplication ;) Take a look at my coins in hand! But I still won't want to spend 15 coins to clean my stove. I still do it- how people say, "cheap" way. I drag the stove back in after the food is done and drag it back out. Wheee! It's already clean.
In my opinion, my earnings can be considered a blast. But I am still hesitant to spend few thousands to expand my cafe! Now, expanding the area doesn't only come as how it costs (which is like 5000coins), there's still the wallpaper, tiles, tables & chairs. See what I mean!
Alright, I shall "upgrade" my cafe once I reach 500K coins! :)

title .. Friday morning with full of Kristopher
Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up We're hiding behind skin that's too tough How come we don't say I love you enough Till it's too late, it's not too late Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come We could make a feast from these crumbs And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done
Yeah, gotta start Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it Every second counts on a clock that's tickin' Gotta live like we're dying We only got 86 400 seconds in a day To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say, Gotta live like we're dying
And if you plane fell out of the skies Who would you call with your last goodbyes Should be so careful who we live out of our lives So when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line
Like we're dying Like we're dying Like we're dying Like we're dying
You never know a good thing until it's gone You never see a crash until it's head on All these people right when we're dead wrong, You never know a good thing till it's gone
Ask me what am I listening to right now?
I am listening to Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying"! Am totally digging it. I mean, like, woo. It blew me away. With the lyrics, the beats and his charming voice of course ;)
The lyrics - it sets you thinking, you know. But the thing about it is, I just can never get enough of those because no matter what it is, I will only know what it feels like when it gets to me. I let my inertia get to me at times. How stubborn, right. Oh! Oh! By the way, Kris' "live like we're dying" is a cover of The Script's. How cool, right. Well, I youtubed both versions & defo find Kris' version better.
The Script's.
What are you waiting for? Go & Google for Kris Allen's official video! Nah, YouTube it rather.. You'll defo find it more uplifting. It's an awesome video; kudos Marco Puig! In the 3minutes and 43seconds video, there is only Kris himself. The video begins with Allen pulling up to a junkyard in a white pickup truck at night, with a watch hanging from his key chain. Then, Allen takes a power cord out of the back of the truck and carries it through the junkyard until he plugs it in and flips a switch to turn on a large countdown clock. As the clock reaches zero...Read more here
I hopped myself onto another tab and went searching for Kris' images on Google and found a couple that are fairly adorable.

title .. World AIDS Day is today
What is world aids day?
World AIDS Day
World AIDS Day is focused on raising awareness of the AIDS epidemic. It was first declared by the World Health Organization in 1988. Red ribbons are worn on clothing as a sign of support. World AIDS Day is Tuesday, December 01, 2009, this year. Read more here
My personal take on World AIDS Day
AIDS is not a joke, and that it can't be cured either. Its just a condition where the immune system decreases rapidly & it's transmitted via saliva, blood, semen or breast milk. There are not many ways that I know I can help them infected with, but one way I know: I won't discriminate. Red ribbon! Red ribbon! Keep the faith, and just keep pushing on ;)

I had a gurreat slumber, dude! It is an awesome feeling to have a proper sleep at last! Looks like this proper sleep thing comes by only Friday night. Pathetic but pretty pleasant nonetheless. I turned in pretty early - say around midnight and I got woken up by this invisible force pulling my leg off the bed! Lol. Juust kidding, I woke up at 0345.
Okay, I realised that recently I been talking about how I am deprived of sleep. Again; ultra pathetic. Shall put it to a hault for awhile since I compensated enough already.
While I was awake, in the past 3 hours ago (or so), I watched a movie while running my Cafe World! I missed that FB app totally; cus well you see the laptop I loaned from school does not actually allow me to download any update for Flash Player. I swear it felt like going to lunch but I can't even buy anything over @ the Halal stalls but only stuffs from the fruit stall. Gah!
This morning, I went to the fridge and found the Subway paper bag which contained the cookies I bought yesterday. It says "eat fresh." at the front; lol I guess its not entirely fresh in my case ;)
So, anyway, GOOOD MORNING!

Things can only get better from here. I hope. I just told Andy that I am feeling really nervous. I am shaking inside, just what is actually wrong? I just recalled I had two perfect cups of coffee to keep me awake. Usually, my eyelids would feel terribly heavy already. Reasons why? One, I slept late the previous night. Two, its the mundane third meeting.
So, I recalled, I had a cup of coffee at breakfast and another one just now - for lunch; I still do have some left in the cup next to me now. My heart is racing and my stomach is doing flips. Oh no! Is this a disorder or something? Or am I just going nuts?
I had two cups of coffee within 4 frigging hours & two blog entries within an hour!
Does coffee make you nervous? ;)
Cus them butterflies in my stomach won't stop stop! I feel like the ceiling's spinning round.
Oh no! Oh no! My laptop screen is shaking too! Wait; that's just my stilly (stupid and silly) team mate shaking his damn legs. Pft!

This got me gazing around from one person to another - something strike me. This is how I'm gonna be when I am working; in the near future. Please near future; don't be so near! Oh well, who am I kidding as the clock tick away, the future is a minute away..

The November sky is pretty dark I see; and now on Friday the thirteenth I am the most crankiest of all. Andy will second to that, defo. I mean, come awn! Its Friday and I am fairly packed during study breaks and after school. Now, that makes me a sad person. Earlier this week, I am looking forward for a getaway to rest my mind during weekend and prepare myself for an uphil battle for the upcoming week! :(
I don't know if I can make it.
I am at the moment nibbling on a fraction of cheese waffles for my lunch, while staring at this "new post" screen unsure of what to continue in this entry. Nope, I have not done anything stupid. Along this tab, I have tabs opened about equity theory, employee motivation and employee compensation package. Human resource management is bleak with this facilitator. I bet everything is much cooler if Ivy was around. Now, ANdy will second to that too, defo defo triple defo. This annoying facilitator is fairly good cus she gives me reasonable grade but she has a habit of forcing us kids to read questions & she loves repeating her sentences.
Now while typing this dull of an entry; I am listening to (the kind of) music (she doesn't like). Lol, no, I am just listening to music. And "You Can" by Archuleta is on.
I am inspired now! To pluck to the song.
