I’m really excited about this second award simply because it is so unique and prestigious and the first ever local award that I’ve received. It is for the ANUGERAH BLOG PALING HEBAT or translated to mean MOST OUTSTANDING AWARD 2008!
After thinking long and hard I have decided to award this fabulous award to ECL. I’ve always enjoyed her blog as it entertaining and keep me updated of events happening in my homeland Singapore. Congrats dearie and keep up the fabulous blogging!
Today is your special day. Your BIRTHDAY and I wanted to wish you a happy happy birthday. Last year when when I commented on your blog about your trip to Singapore, never did I think our friendship could blossom so much. I’ve always enjoy reading your blog entries and when you called me two weeks ago, I feel like I’ve known you forever.
I’m so sorry about the recent incident at your house and I pray that all is well again. Be strong dear friend and remember with each happenings in our life, we are being prepared for greater things to come! Behind every cloud, there is a silver lining they say
Have a fantastic day today and try to forget what has happened. Enjoy your forthcoming holidays wherever it is, ok and know I’m always here should you need to talk
I’m so blessed to have received so many awards lately that I not only need an award gallery but also probably some kind of bookshelves that can double up as an award shelves or something!
I figured the only way to truly say Thank you is by doing an individual post by these fantastic blogger friends who have so kindly passed over the awards to me.
For today I want to thank Jackie, the owner of Painted Veils. Jackie has awarded me and this blog with four very wonderful awards.

I’m dedicating this song to my one and only love, Azwaj, who’s been so understanding through my hectic times. ILU babeh!! You are my Dream Lover!!
***Lyrics*** I need a lover to give me The kind of love That will last always I need somebody uplifting To take me away
I want a lover who knows me Who understands how I feel inside Someone to comfort and hold me Through the long lonely nights ‘Till the dawn Why don’t you take me away
[Chorus:] Dreamlover come rescue me Take me up take me down Take me anywhere you want to baby now I need you so desperately Won’t you please come around ‘Cause I wanna share forever with you baby
I don’t want another pretender To disillusion me one more time Whispering words of forever Playing with my mind
I need someone to hold on to The kind of love that won’t fly away I just want someone to belong to Everyday Of my life Always So come and take me away

Today is a special day for… my mommy….my creative blog buddy, Emila.. and.. Fik.. our offline buddy!
I am in Singapore currently with my mommy so I’m sure it is a GREAT birthday for her..
We are not doing anything special as we just arrived Singapore at around 5pm but I just came back from buying dinner downstairs… Chicken Rice Sambal, Fried Chicken Rice, Lontong and Fried Noodle..hehe.. so much for just two people eh??
I wish Emila and Fik a fantastic birthday and may all your wishes come true this year. Sorry it is a bit late in the day but it’s still 21st October right..
Am bringing mom to the National Eye Center tomorrow. Wish us luck!
Cheerio…
PS: Thank you whoever you are for the connection. *winky*
One of the reasons why I am still using blogspot is because of the ease of using the site. It is user friendly, straight-forward and I guess because it’s free (yeah, I’m cheap) and does not have any ads being forced down my throat like a lot of other free hosting companies does. Apart from the occasional outage, I have not experienced any major problems with it. In fact, all my blogs are hosted with blogspot even though some have their own domain name.
If you are, however, seriously considering webhosting for your blogs you should really read this article found on one webhosting blog called Three Web Hosting Mistakes to Avoid. It tells you not to jump at the first cheap hosting package you are offered without reading the fine small print first!
The site is also a great resource center. There, you not only can find “Top 10 WebHosting companies for 2008”, but also read reviews written by real customers like you and me, who have used the hosting services before. You’ll find you don’t have to compromise standards just because you are paying economical prices.
Whatever you decide, make sure you do your homework first. Get some feedback from people who have used the services before. Find reviews like the one found at the website or search for reviews elsewhere on the internet. I would hate for you to wake up one morning and find your blog nowhere to be found. That would be a disaster!
I’m not sure how many of you love or even like Barry Manilow. Some people say it’s strictly a love or hate relationship with him. So I guess mine is L-O-V-E with capital letters! I simply adore him and his songs. Whenever I hear him sings, it’s like he’s singing to just me alone and I would smile, hum and sing along. He is also a great song writer and arranger and I remember how he made all the American Idols contestant, in one of the seasons, sounded so good singing his song that even Cowell couldn’t comment much!
Aww.. I missed seeing him on the telly. I missed seeing him perform. He is so forgotten on our side of the world.. but I will never forget you Barry and the joy you bring to me as I studied for my exams a long time ago :)
I couldn’t decide on what song to feature for Music Monday this time but I did find this medley of his concert in Japan a long time ago – I especially love the second song!.. Enjoy!!
So do you love or hate him? lol!
If you are participating, please leave your Music Monday post here and we will all go and check out your video ookkk :)
OMG! Life have been so hectic these days. Juggling between mommy’s visit and her blurred vision, Azwaj’s fever, cooking, cleaning, Aggie’s rashes, blogging, dropping EC, tweaking blogs, trying to keep up with the fierce competition at GP’s blog and my own cramps, I think I need 48hours or even more in a day !!
NO!!.. I’m NOT complaining.. I’m having FUN!!! LOL.. It’s been a while since I’ve been busy and stressed out and I have been too laid back in my own world that now I feel even more ALIVE!!! I used to thrive on stress and I believe I still do!!!
Alright folk, lunchtime here. Nothing fancy just Ikan Jacket (fish with spices) and veggies. I’d take a picture of it but it the fish turned out a bit burnt..LOL.. So I’ll keep my Canon camera for another dish….lol
I love blog tweaking and making my blog personal so much that now I want to help YOU achieve the same thing. I’ve just finished working with EastCoastLife or as we all fondly know her, ECL, to make her blog a “mirror of her” as she calls it now.. Thank you so much my buddysister. I hope that smile stay on your face a while longer ya :)
If you wanna work with me, please send me a message via my contact form for a personal quote :)
I’m not into traveling these days especially since the thingy with my mom’s eye. She told me that she is still experiencing double and blur vision which seemed to improve if she put on her reading glasses. So I’m bringing her to the Optician to get her eye-glasses and hopefully that would help.
Anyway, if you are planning vacation, perhaps you like to consider Las Vegas. I stumbled upon a las vegas hotel reservations site that is offering 77% off from last year rate on most hotels. I think that sound just awesome. If you can save and still have the best, why not right?
I just love ABBA. I grew up enjoying their song 24/7 and even though they have long broken up, their songs are evergreen and being sung, re-mix and re-recorded by new artist even today! This is one of my favourite song.. Enjoy!!
Lyrics: I don’t wanna talk About the things we’ve gone through Though it’s hurting me Now it’s history I’ve played all my cards And that’s what you’ve done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play
The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory That’s her destiny
I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I’d be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It’s simple and it’s plain Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all
I don’t wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You’ve come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all…
In case you guys don’t know, I was back to Singapore on Saturday morning to pick my mom up for a Monday doctor’s appointment here in KL. We left Singapore early this morning and I am now back with mommy and … some homemade Raya cookies! She made this in Ramadhan of course and I have missed it having them two years in a row so this was an awesome treat. I now have one bottle each of Pineapple tarts, Cashew nut cookies and a cookie that I’ve never tasted before but equally delish…
Here are some mouth watering picture..Enjoy!!
Anyway, Azwaj got to work tonight and since mommy don’t feel like eating out, I’ve wanted to order McDonalds and their wonderful Chicken Foldover for that Mexican recipes feel but mommy wanted Nandos instead. So that was what we had. Equally yummy!!
We were all so excited winning the EC credit for commenting and voting for GP, we forgot to check who actually won the FIRST PRIZE of USD250!. Well FARAH did after asking me why I was wishing her good luck after she voted for me and SHE WON!!!
CONGRATS dearie!!
So guys and gals what are you waiting,comment and vote for me and who know you might be this month lucky winner!
Every so often, I get bored of the way I look. So sometimes I change my hairstyle and sometimes I’m change my eyeglasses. I just had a hair trim before Raya so I thought this time a change is due for my very good friend, the eyeglasses. It’s been a while anyway since I did that so perhaps the time has come to shop for a brand new look.
I’ve been seeing a lot of these new style that has very broad side rims. I think they look cool but Azwaj seems to think they look nerdy so I scratched that whole idea. After all I wouldn’t want to look nerdy or ugly in the one person’s eye that matters to me
So I’m still looking around and I heard that Zenni Optical, the only place online that I’ve heard off that offers USD8 per eyewear and approved by The Clark Howard Show, has a range of new design in. And true enough, there were plenty of that broad rim style available. However I did see this cute pair just shouting at me. Just look at the detail on the side. It looks like a flower! I’m so loving it!
And you know what? Since it is so cheap, who knows I may even get that broad rim one as well..lol!
After such a successful voting run for Mariuca, I’m almost too shy to announce this but am going to anyway.. heheh.. Guess who’s in the running for Best Diarist over at BlogNet Award?
YES! Your’s truly! Wowee!!.. What a thrill and an honor indeed. Now I know exactly how GP must have felt!
So this time around, I’m calling all LJL fans (please say I have some ) to come and register and vote for me please. Also please make sure you leave some comments there as well as you stand a chance to win cash or a host of other prices as well. I for one, won 1500 EC credits just for voting and commenting for GP !
So good luck everyone and do leave me a comment here once you’ve voted so I could pass on some linky love ya.
