one thing i love when i get to go out and just lepak, hand-loose is i can be in casual clothes and sometimes.. just sometimes, i can wear something i dont normally wear - no, no skirts! muahahaha.. also, i can just move around, do something with no specific agenda. no specific time to end my day.

blurred me..?

i've been reading some pretty interesting news..



it was under the perculiar posting in msn news and what caught my attention was.. it would have been more perculiar if he survived the blast.

wonder what was he thinking when he did that.. gosh.. madness..

------- [ coffeexicating ] -------

if ads were creative, its sure to catch someone's attention. and we're all asked to 'think-out-of-the-box' most of the time.

so, this Hong Kong ad to promo yogo was really an interesting idea to show flexibility.

and its definitely.. catchy.. not like i'm in any creative also la.. hehehe..

anyways, there's this other ad that i find it.. well, perculiar too..




Life-size stickers of people were stuck on automatic sliding doors at a mall in Mumbai, India. When someone approaches the doors move apart and it feels like the people on the door are moving away. The person enters to find the message 'People Move Away When You Have Body Odour'.

ouch..

------- [ coffeexicating ] -------

anywayz, here's a little quiz for you to try out..

Four people need to cross a rickety rope bridge to get back to their camp at night. Unfortunately, they only have one flashlight and it only has enough light left for seventeen minutes. The bridge is too dangerous to cross without a flashlight, and it’s only strong enough to support two people at any given time.

Each of the campers walks at a different speed. One can cross the bridge in 1 minute, another in 2 minutes, the third in 5 minutes, and the slow poke takes 10 minutes to cross. How do the campers make it across in 17 minutes?

hehehe.. i'll tell the answer the next time i post up something.. at the mean time..

coffeexified, y'all

dialing thoughts


will we talk again?
i have seen you from afar
i have heard of you for awhile
i have wanted to call you
when will we talk again?


something like my previous post but of a different view.. well, at least i think so.

when a friendship [ or a relationship ] is broken or distant for whatever the reason, i'm sure there are some thoughts that come across your mind..

thoughts of what happened in the past
thoughts of the smiles and laughters shared
thoughts of conversations and secrets shared
thoughts of what that person might have been doing
thoughts of how it ended [ fullstop ]


either its just me but i've think quite too much [ when i should be thinking of my work! ] but yea, just thought how friends relationship can be made and drifted just because of a wrong words, action or just no effort to follow up. and sometimes the hardest part is to build that relationship again.

time might be able to help to build that relationship again but it might not be the same as it used to be. the openess and the gap may be a lil different. but its still workable.

provided there's the initiative to start.

recently, i've met up with some extremely long lost friends. some when i was in highschool and to hear their updates, its amazing. and to calculate how many years we've not kept in contact - freaks me! [ shows that i'm actually getting older ] but i appreciate my friends that called me and we've kept in contact again. there's so much to talk about and just to update one another about their lives and their upcoming. teasing each other about the past goals that never achieved. and just to see how each of have changed from younger days to now, moving to adulthood. and the best part - to be able to meet up again.

but there's also some friends that i've met and heard from afar. friends that were once close and now drifted far. must i wait for a few more years again before we dared to talk to each other again? when will we talk again?

my mom told me that relationship is the most important thing in one's life. thats why we need to build our relationship with our Father too. but if we have problem building relationship with our friends we see, what about our Father thats unseen. well, just a thought on a blurred friday.

dinner at 8pm..?


went shopping a lil, got home from one whole day out, did some chores, suppose to meet up for dinner with some friends, then.. it rained outside. oh well, good time to just laze on my bed. then.. *beep beep*

friend : to your opinion, what would you define as a perfect date?
me : O_o hmm, main motive is just to spend time together. if about environment, maybe jazz music, not a crowded place, somewhere comfortable and coffee! hehe.. which hot chick you trying to date la? hehe.. (^_^)
friend : no movies kah? no la.. i'm just trying to understand girls better.
me : oh.. haha.. my advice is dont try to understand them, just love her and you'll know whats the perfect date to have with her.
friend : har? *sigh* sad to say but i hafta agree with you.
me : *grin*
friend : i guess at d end of da day, it's still down to da personality huh? whether can click or not, able to communicate or not.. go with da flow, baby
me : haha! main thing is if you really love her and she loves you in return la..
[ wah... like a script line from donno what lomantic movie ]
friend : uh huh.. but wanna spark it ma.. hehe


when my friend asked me that question, i was thinking - fine dining, wine, a performance, walk down the beach, all beautifully dressed up - those sorta stuff that you see from the movies. but then, every girl would define their perfect date differently. so, if we know what the other person would enjoy and i guess to see the smile at the end of the date, that would be the perfect date.

then it got me thinking, what would be a perfect date with my Father?

currently in church, we're doing 'hearing the voice of God' and how samuel really desired to be with God. how he really 'just wanted to spend time' with God. we could be spending time with God with our devotion, reading His word.. but at the same time, thinking about lunch, about the jacket you saw the other day, about what someone said, etc. so much for a 'perfect date' with our Dad, huh?

so, what's your definition of a perfect date?

[ this morning my friend asked me *again*, would you expect a flower from ur date? O_o ]

blur off days - kk pt 4

[ okie.. i might just continue blogging.. unless.. ]

i promise this will be the last about my KK trip. altho i've got tonnes of interesting experience there. haha.. i'm still waiting for the pictures from the others that went so, you'll have to wait together with me.. haha
okie.. a quick one..

after nearly breaking every muscle from the climb for a few days, we went white water rafting. my first time i totally love the experience - 10km, 7 wackos, 1hour in brown sabah river. hahaa.. we were screaming our lungs out, falling out from the raft swimming and being 'saved' by our guide. and i got a cert from that! haha..

when we going to the destination, we had to get on a train. it was really an ol' fashion train. said to be the fastest in KK [ cuz it was the only train ] and if you're lucky, you might just see some chickens or ducks on the train too! so, when we had to go back from the rafting place to the train station, the train broke down. we ended up waiting for 3 hrs before the we got on the train [ and missed the chance to eat crocodile meat. darn! ].

anyway, on the train, managed to catch up a lil with stephen - cuz the rest were dozing off. well, after the screaming and energy used while rafting, stephen slept on an empty seat. i was looking out the window - gazing at the fireflies and ponder on some thoughts.

thoughts about what has happened.
thoughts about what could have happened.
thoughts about why it happened.
thoughts about why it didnt happened.
thoughts about how can i make it happened.


oh well, ultimately, its about submitting my days to Him. whatever that has happened in the past has happened. many times i wished i could turn back the time and make the changes [ maybe like actually study for my spm..haha ] but now, to see what has happened as stories in my life.
not easy to submit especially when you want things your way, but its to have the trust in Him. so often that statement has been said and now its time to actually live it out. :)

[ want to know what i was pondering about..? hahaha.. over coffee la ]

other quick update on my kk trip

burn, baby burn : i had sun burnt. i didnt put enough sunblock and went swimming at the clear sea water - so smart of me leh. it was so burnt that i could still feel the heat after 2 days. my dahling hsemate had to help me peel my dead skin.. eeww... but it was fun. [ some #!*^%$ chinese girl in a mall asked me if i'm a chinese..!! ]

revelation : i found out a cool remedy. when you climb mount k, you're sure to have extreme muscle pain. go swimming. seriously.. swimming help ease the pain. you at least can walk properly - unlike a crab on labour. so yea.. so snorkel or swim or whatever. its really good.

so yes, thats for my kk trip experience. fuh~ syiokness.. i enjoyed myself.. but i dont think i want to climb the mount again. hahaha!

[ darn... cant upload my pictures.. oh well.. ]

to or not to..?

to terminate my blog or not?

currently, my company just moved to a new place.. and i had some difficulty accessing blogger. proxy? firewall? whatever.. its not as easy as it used to be. so, it harder for me to blog now.

even now my current sitting place is not as.. erm.. secured, private as it used to be. so.. chances that i might stop blogging is higher..

i'll give it to end of this year and we'll see how it goes.

hugz


hugging is healthy.
it helps the immune system, cures depression, reduces stress and induces sleeps.
it's invigorating, rejuvenating and has no unpleasant side effects.
hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.
hugging is all natural.
it is organic, naturally sweet, no artificial ingredients, non polluting, environmentally friendly & 100% wholesome.
hugging is the ideal gift.
great for any occassion, fun to give and receive, shows you care, comes with it's own wrapping and, of cuz, fully returnable.
hugging is practically prefect.
no batteries to wear out, inflation-proof, non-fattening, no monthly payment, theft-proof and non-taxable.
hugging is an underutilized resource with magical powers.
when we open our heart and arms, we encourage others to d othe same.

huggiez to y'all

blur off days - kk pt 3

toured and visited

with muscle cramp all over me.. *sigh*

seriously, if anyone is planning to climb the mountain, i guess the best exercise anyone can do would be taking the stairs. and i mean ALOT of stairs. the whole journey up and down the mountain was like stairs everywhere! i underestimated myself thinking that coming down the mountain was easier than going up. well, technically it is but with the muscle cramp you had earlier, coming down is worst! but faster la..

anyway, we went around KK visiting a few places - philipino market, sutera harbour, jesselton harbour, waterfront. its really interesting to go to places and really be a tourist. we were walking around talking in hokkien and really acting like a 'jakun' fella.. haha..

i must admit, east malaysia is a very beautiful place. i was in kuching just a couple days before flying to kk and it really beautiful.

kuching - the place is clean, big and i love their bilin [ a kind of wild fern veg ]. their seafood is lovely and my client gave me 2 fresh water fish to bring back to kl..! first, i was shocked with their present. second, i dont cook! oh well, its the thought and my cell cooked it well. kuching or rather sarawak is known for the pepper industry. so, when i visited one of the souveneir shops.. they were selling alot of pepper stuff - pepper sweets, pepper jelly sweets, dark pepper chocolates, white pepper chocolates, chilli pepper sauce.. i was so tempted to buy the chocolates to let other ppl try but.. its okie. shall try not to be so adventures.

aside from that, i manage to look around at the houses in kuching.. fuh~! crazy madness.. its.. huge..! and i really mean huge..! oh.. beautiful too of cuz.

i didnt manage to visit much in kuching but i would love to go there and visit again. love to see the houses and the also taman sahabat [ frienship park ] .. its beautiful. any available tour guides?

kk - its more laid back and relaxed altho there are some jam during peak time. but what is jam if compared to kl crazy jam that can last for 3 hours! i love the fact that its near the ocean.. the harbour.. probably because i love beaches in general [ my next stop would be terengganu or kelantan beaches ]. i love their lemon drink, 'kit chai peng' [ lime with sour plum ]. cant get it here in kl unless i make it myself.. hmm.. going around with my friends were really the best. the wooden handy craft is beautiful and pearls! they've got fresh water pearls and ocean pearls and donno what other pearls sold in the philipino market! hahaha..

a few things about east malaysia that i can roughly conclude..

1. the land of the four wheel drives - my little kelisa is like a little ant there!
2. awesome seafood and really fresh - we can pick the fish that we want to eat!
3. the land of huge houses - too much land and really very nice.. *sigh* when can i get one..?
4. really fresh air - compared to kl la.. but with the current haze.. err...

i told ivan about my trip to east malaysia and i really enjoyed myself.. he said.. i should find an east malaysian husband.. (-.-")

i would really want to go to east malaysia again.. maybe to labuan? diving..? hmm.. anyone interested? ;o)

blur off days - kk pt 2

climbed and conquered..!

hah..!

after months of planning and no training at all.. i have climbed the highest mountain in south east asia. it was madness to climb it. walking and walking and walking and losing my breathe and gasphing every step.. only to realised i've walked for 500m.. and i had 6000m to reach the rest place. and another 2500m to the peak. sigh..

started off walking with some friends then it was with one friend.. the it was alone. well, occasionally i met some foreigners along the way and ben the squirrel. but it was good. the view and scenery was awesome.. literally breathe-taking, too..!

then it was the journey to the peak. i partnered with angela [ she's a great travel buddy ] and it was amusing how we encourage each other to go to the peak..

10 more steps.. 10 more steps..
breathing stop.. *pant pant* 0.o
gotta reach the top.. dowan to come back again for it..
it madness...
10 more steps.. 10 more steps..
jappos coming to overtake.. quick.. run..
dont let them overtake..!
[ kiasu ]
breathing stop... deeeeeeeeeep breathe..
10 more steps.. 10 more steps.. hug..!!

and we did it..! muahahaha.. [ i couldnt take any pictures up the peak cuz my camera froze up there. now i feel like getting another camera.. *scouting* ]

the scenery was awesome.. mixture of rocks and clouds.. it was just awesome. reached to the peak took some photos and started our journey back to the camp area. as i was walking down, i was amazed at the journey down and i couldnt believe that i actually walked all the way up [ at 230am ]. the way was steep and long.. like really long. i dragged myself to go down.

that was the time that i wanted to scream my way down. i just wanted to scream and stay where i was and sulk [ for some reason ]. i just wanted to roll myself down.. the journey down was actually harder than going up.. anyway, dragged my way down with some help of the guide person.. he was afraid that i was going to fall anytime [ i slipped once, haha ]. he helped me walked on the easier path and *voila* i reached on easier steps down.

yet i didnt quite understand why i was so grumpy on the way down. probably cuz i'm just tired and lazy.. maybe i'm just fed up [ for no specific reason ], maybe the journey down was too tough, or maybe there's no goal to reach for already.

is this the same in life? when you have just reached the top to what you think you have achieved and when you're at the top and nothing's moving but just downwards.. how to handle that? when you think you have gotten what you wanted but you just got to let it go.. in order to move on.. how to handle that?

well, i guess it could be seen as another way. we all may have worked really hard to reach the top or to achieve it. and with all the craziness and madness trying to achieve it, there is a sense of fulfillment once we've reached it. there's the enjoyment, the excitement.

when actually.. what awaits is.. rest. to rest in His presence and relax. :)

hahaa.. yes.. thats what i learned from the climb up and down. it was seriously crazy coming down and i actually ended up having more muscle pain when coming down from the climb. i couldnt walk or stand straight.. it was as though a crab trying to walk straight with muscle pain..!

kinda think.. maybe the mountain conquered me back. O.o

gulp!

i have no idea what have i just gotten myself into..

going to fly away from the city for a week
going to the east for the first time.. well, second actually
going to 'conquer' the mount
going to 'conquer' the skill of rafting
going to eat rare weird food

..

going to add my list of places been
going to torture my muscles and bones
going to burn my already dark tanned skin
going to test the optimistic side of me
going to try to be adventures

..

what have i gotten myself into this time.. any advice?

[ will be away for a week to east malaysia, kota kinabalu.. yippies + gulp ]

free..?

nothing's free..!
nothing's free..?
yea.. nothing's free..!
not at all..?
everything has a price to pay
or at least a catch to it.
then what does 'F.O.C' means..?
thats old stuff, unwanted, useless
there's nothing free in this world


a free biscuit given to you..?
thats for try out
a free meal given to you..?
thats for an occasion
a free ride given to you..?
thats for helping others
a present given to you..?
thats for birthdays
a free money vaucher given to you..?
thats donation but will still take it
a free blank cheque given to you..?
thats a bounched cheque or some hidden agenda
a free advice given to you..?
thats for guidance
a free passport to heaven given to you..?
thats pure crap and impossible
there's nothing free in this world
nothing's free..!


[ blurred post thoughts ]

i overheard my colleague talking about a scam he encountered in one of the mall's carpark, where he was given free gifts and well, it was a scam la. then they were talking on how there's no such thing as free things.

it got me to realise.. how to tell someone of the salvation in a world where the word 'free' is actually 'NOT free? what happened to the price that was paid for us by His blood for us for us to have a 'free' access to heaven..? would anyone believe in 'free' again..?

nothing's free..?

missed calls

[ was reading some blogs and well, just thought of some stuff.. in the midst of my work time. girls are multitasking..! dont argue.. *grin* ;o) ]

will we still be talking when we've lost it?
will we still keep in touch when its over?
will we still think of each other when its gone?
will we still do what we used to do.. together?


you can either inteprete that short stanza as a(n)..

love relationship breakup effects
it is only natural that it happens. i mean, 2 person together sharing everything together, all the talks and feeling they shared together and when its over *snap* everything else also ends. communication stops.. thoughts, action are 'supposely' to be forgotten and not-to-talk-about. i guess its what some would call it - healing moment. to heal from the hurt and pain..
but like what yasmin ahmad's tagline options - does friendship ends when love begins? when the love is over.. is the friendship over too..? how does it take to heal from dissapointments?

friendship forever - only if you online and stay nearby
i remember how i used to deco autograph books for my close friends in high school and we shared the best time together. cycling around and just hanging out together. but as the years goes by and everyone moved to different places, its hard to keep in touch with anyone. well, not unless you've got the internet but even so, not everyone goes online at the same time. and with new people that comes into our lives and the time spent together.. the older friends are sometimes forgotten.
i'm sure not fully forgotten but just left as memories. and when we 'try' to make an effort to meet up.. usually doesnt work.
i had the same conversation with my dahling hsemate and she was saying how ppl talk more online and just because others dont have internet, the friendship is not as strong as those who online. well, even though i'm on y!, msn and gtalk.. i hardly talk to everyone. makes no diff.
should i then delete their numbers from my mobile and just maintain them online?

unanswered cries
to God, that is. sometimes we just want to hear an audible voice, a confirmation, an affirmation. but when nothing is heard and nothing is done or the storms in life gets tougher.. thats when we blow up, leaving everything behind and doing things our way. and that [ possibly ] can backslide anyone easily.. well, yea.. many times we would say or sing that we will trust in Him, having Him as our desire.. a typical Christian answer la.. but when it really happens, will we start to move with the wave?

well, maybe not everyone goes thru this but i do with additional assumptions..

relationships - family, friends, loved ones, strangers - are important and clearly, the effect of it if it doesnt work out can be massive. there can be total silence between each other. like kids, we would be nice to the person but as soon as (s)he does something that you're not happy, we say 'i hate you'.. either verbally or quietly.

i guess, thats why God so wants to have the relationship with His children. but if the child wants to rebel towards God, then the relationship is jeopordized.. we jeopardized that relationship unintentionally. communication is just as important in a relationship.

then it brings to another conclusion.. it shows that friendship, relationship can be temporal.. and might not last long. what more if we only met that person once or if we will never meet the person anymore.

what impression are we leaving behind to everyone we meet and say goodbye..?

IMPACT..! what can one life do..?

merdeka..! merdeka..! merdeka..!!!!!!!!!!!!

independance day is tomorrow and its time to show the patrioticness part of me.. sleeping! haha.. i'm still recoving from my lack of sleep..

anyways, i was just browsing thru some blogs and came across some pretty interesting test to show.. the malaysian part of me.. *grinning*

How Malaysian are you? - The Challenge

Your score : 25 out of 45 (56%)

You’re there, but there’s plenty of room for improvement. To start off
your journey to becoming a true red-yellow-and-blue Malaysian, make sure you
don't forget those little Malaysian flags that purebreds stick on their cars on
Merdeka day.

not too bad, i figured.. about half of me lives out like a real malaysian [ eventhough the fact that i was born and lived in malaysia ]

then, i came across kennysia's and it was another interesting test..

Congratulations Fay, you are 33% not
Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...


Michelle Yeoh!

How Un-Malaysian Are You?



i'm like michelle yeoh..?!?! errm.. right.. i dont want a french (or whatever) husband that can be as old as my grandfather!

anywayz, if 56% of me makes me a malaysian and 33% of me does not.. what about the remaining 11% of me makes me..??

i know... here's my equation..

malaysian me - 56%
not malaysian me - 33%
blurred - 11%

hehehe... ;o)

happy merdeka, everyone..! kopi-o, y'all..!

coffee-ful

[ literally dragged myself out from the bed and decided to be in black since the weather was so tempting for me to sleep again. on top of that, i had a msg in the morning from my bro NOT to drink my coffee in the morning.. stoned all the way to work. anyway.. to cut the long story short.. i had STARBUCKS coffee from my bro this morning for work! as a prezzie.. special delivery in the morning.. yippie...!!!! ;o)

and everyone else in office is staring at my cuppa.. hehe ]


since i'm in a coffee-ful (as to joyful) mood.. i got a lil coffee destress email from my uncle.. thought i'd share it with you guys..

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups:
porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite,
telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."

"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

So please, don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee.

nostalgic

for some that may have read my previous post, i've been thru some stress tiring time at work.

today, i'm a lil more relief as i'll be moving into another project soon, this week. and now that my previous project that i was struggling with is over and done [ except some occasional emails and calls from clients ], i have some time off.

so, i was listening to some old music - Frank Sinatra. a close friend compiled a whole collection of frank sinatra songs for me cuz i really like his songs [ thank you so much! really appreciate it alot! ]. well, it gives me a sense of relaxation and well.. swinging. hehe.. also, it makes me feel like my timeout session in starbucks.. me, coffee, oldie, book.. what better combination. ;o)

but.. since i cant go to starbucks for my timeout session [ yet! ], listening at work with silence around me.. this works good enough for me.

one thing i really enjoy about my timeout session is it gives me a time to reflect on what has happened. reflection on what has happened, what i've done, what i've been through. it allows me to have some time to myself.. well, probably coffee with my Dad. ;o)


dear Dad,

how are things? i really miss spending time with You. i mean, over coffee without the rush at my favourite spot. i think i know why starbucks is near the arrival hall.. cuz to see the joy of people meeting their loved ones over a cuppa.. priceless. its like when we meet up with You again in our own ways.. its a priceless feeling, huh? yea.. i want that again.

i've got so much to say and yet i dont know how to arrange it. i dont know how to word it. i dont know how to express it. *sigh* a mixture of feelings now. haha..

well, just though i'll drop a note to You, Dad.. i miss you.

your blurred kid,

well, not that i didnt blog at all in july.. but july felt soooooo long. in actual fact, july is the only month with out any public holidays.. (revelation...? haiyah, just check the calendar la)

too many things happened in july and yet, i feel like i've been doing the same thing the whole month. hahaha..

looking out
just last saturday, a young TARC student was slashed by 2 guys on a motorbike. he died minutes after that. he was apparently walking his way back to his condominium around 8++pm when he was attacked.
this happened just about 10 mins walk from my place.

i've walked and jogged at that place before. i've walked at night at that place before (not alone la).

well, things like these happen but it just didnt occur to me that that the young guys (age 18) got killed somewhere near where i stay. there are other 'common' incident - snatch thieves, but i've not heard of this for the past 3 yrs staying there. scary but anyhow, i pray that the blood of Jesus will protect everyone that stays there. also that the devil will not dominate the place..!!

a taste of relaxation
i had a foretaste of my relaxation last weekend with wai yi and we just chill out kau-kau in the curve. (didnt have my camera with me cuz 'someone' is still holding unto my camera battery charger!!) had sushi, listen to a dude singing green day's september - seriously, he's good.

then we watch Lady in the Water - M. Night Shyamalan. because...!!! tokyo drift is no longer drifting in the cinema..!!! *darn!*
but the movie was good. my 2nd m.night shyamalan movie. hahaha

[ for those planning to watch it, just go for it! its quite a typical m. night shyamalan kinda show. the show is about a bedtime story.. ;o) ]

there and then
had a few trips down memory lane while talking to my friends. talked about the people i met in college, all the funny things that happened. talked about the high school days when i usually wear big t-shirts.. (talk about fashion taste!)

also, talked about sports.. gosh, now i really miss playing tennis. not that i'm that good or anything but i just miss whacking the ball really hard. its a good way to de-stress yourself, though. miss going for tournaments and having the smell of sunblock the whole day long.
miss the early morning training and evening games.
miss squeezing and getting a tennis court - cuz its usually full. [ well.. talk about being physically fit! haha.. ]

uncle siva..!!! can come to KL and play tennis kah? i've got my tennis racquet here.. probably need to change the grip and strings.. a lil karat-ed. hehe


oh well, i guess i'm in KL now.. better make the best of it.. haha..
moved on to the working world, memories in the past will cherished.. :)


[ emo or not..?? hehehe.. well, how often you get that from me, right..? *grin* ]
