Banging & Spining around

These two songs from the Jacksons 5 kept banging and spining around in my head at all times...I even sing or hum to its tunes whenever I'm in the shower. Just can't get enough of the Jacksons 5 songs...I just love them and Motown music! But these 2 songs are my ultimate favorites.

Enjoy listening with me!

More of Twilight Saga

One of this pretty movie poster is a fan-made and the other is official but just a teaser poster, but I heart both of them. Twilight's sequel - 'New Moon' will be released on 20 Nov and would'nt wanna miss it. I'm sure all Twilight fans out there can't wait as well.



For a glimpse of 'New Moon', check out the trailer here:

By the looks of it, the sequel is more syok than part 1 (Twilight). Reprising her role as Bella again - hope that Kristen Stewart has improved her acting skills. (Dui...pandai-pandai but ya seriously her acting sucks).

But before hand, you can start reading the 'New Moon' novel - I like this cover than the official one.


If you're a fan of Twilight and have read the 1st part of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels, you'll come across some of the following lovely and popular quotes from the book which I liked.

Bella's quotes:

"It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up".

"His voice was like melting honey. I could imagine how much more overwhelming his eyes would be".

"About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him".


Edward's quotes:

"It’s twilight. It’s the safest time of day for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way…the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don’t you think?"

"Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end".


Don't you think Taylor Lautner is now becoming such a cutie hunk? Glad that he has more of his 'Jacob' role appearances in the upcoming 'New Moon'. Just can't wait to watch how this love triangle goes - Bella between Edward and Jacob. Aaawoooooffff...wolf vs vampire - how exciting!


Mattel even produce the Barbie & Ken version of Bella & Edward - now isn't that cool too! And 'New Moon' Candies too - how sweet!



More on Robert Pattinson, here are some interesting facts about this guy. My idiotic crush on him has somehow cooled off but I'm still a fan.

1) The British actor reportedly never showers and his body odor is infuriating cast and crew on the set of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." A source close to the star – who returns as vampire Edward Cullen in the film - said: "He stinks. I mean, it's awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy. He completely reeks." Robert's lack of personal hygiene could be one of the reasons behind his unsuccessful sex life in the US.

2) He proposed to ''Twilight'' co-star Kristen Stewart. The 18-year-old actress – who is dating "Will and Grace" star Michael Angarano – said Pattinson was so "into" his character while filming the vampire movie he convinced himself he was in love with her. She said: "Rob is very mysterious and very intense – and totally crazy. He proposed to me one day!" Pattinson added: "I can't believe I did that! That's really getting into character. It's pretty extreme." Stewart said: "I'm sure he's proposed to loads of girls before. He's a complete jokester!" Pattinson agrees: "My favorite chat-up line when I was younger was to go straight up to a girl and say, 'Will you marry me? I don't want to mess around.'"

3) He has also revealed he Googles himself to find out what gossip there is about him on the internet. He said: "I admit I do look for myself sometimes. I used to do it a lot more before." Now I only look at the negative stuff. I just want to know whoever's saying negative stuff, I want to remember their names. I write it all down in my black book.

Let me know if you want MORE details!

Robert Pattinson vs Edward Cullen (Twilight)

No it's not about Lady Gaga but I'm still going gaga on 'Twilight' & (scream first...AAARRRHHHH) Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson. Oh how I wished 'Edward Cullen' is a REAL charming & harmless vampire. OMG! what is happening to me...why am I going nuts about all these stuffs. Hey woman...I think you're trapped in a teen girl's body.

Anyways, the thing is I noticed from my traffic feed that lots of people out there (probably mostly young girls or fans of RP I guess) googled about either RP or Twilight Saga and I think they must have accidentally stumbled upon my lame blog over my post on "Screaming Over Robert Pattinson & Twilight Saga". No doubt that these two related subjects has a huge fan based around the world and are one of the most searched items in the net.

Since I'm also a fan which I'm not embarrased to admit (ha!) and once again I'm pretty delighted to post here MORE about Robert Pattinson and his Twilight character - the sexy & charming vamp 'Edward Cullen' & exclusively just for you - info and pictures on the 'Cullens' home.

I bought a cool book/autobiography of RP - loads of pictures in it, about his childhood and of course on 'Twilight' and how the movie changed his life...from humble beginnings as an actor to the coolest/most popular heartrob in the planet. I just adores celebrities who started their fame from humble beginnings or rags to riches sort of thing and still remained humble and down-to-earth.

If you're not a fan of Twilight, hopefully you can still appreciate the beauty of the house used on the set of Twilight as the "Cullens House". And now let's take a tour through these pictures of the Cullens home:

(Remember these stairs when Edward took Bella to his room)







Edward and Bella in Edward's room from one of the movie scene

Don't you think this house is beautiful? Extremely enchanted and awesome house...fit for a vampire! This is an actual home in Portland, Oregon and the residence of the Hoke family. The home was designed by Skylab Architecture and architect Jeff Koval.

I also bought the original movie CD to add to my movie collection


Truly a die-hard Twilight fan? Then join me into this craziness together.

Personal Tribute to Yasmin Ahmad (1958 - 2009)


Just a month after MJ's passing, there's another shocking news of the sudden demise of Malaysia's renowned filmaker - Yasmin Ahmad. She died of stroke and she's only 51. 20 years ago, my dad's father/my grandfather died of stroke and I know how it feels to lose a loved one in just a sudden and so unexpected. For more details prior to her death, read here. Although I've only watched two of her award-winning films 'Sepet' and 'Gubra' but I've always admires her creativity and talents and that I often follows and read her blog for inspiration. She will always be a legend in all Malaysian hearts because of her superb works and there will be no one as great as her. Rest in peace Yasmin Ahmad!

Short and Sweet

Just a quick hello while I'm still buzzing around in the office. Been tightly busy and need to do some catching up with few urgent matters - proper handover, looking forward to my new job, organising 3 to 4 company events this month, CJ being a fussypot nowadays and yada yada etc. I really need another break...I just did once last monday/took emergency leave but end up doing painting with my CJ (wanna see?).

Anyways, I'll be back here soon for more updates but for now I wish I could live in this picture - quiet (or maybe not) and cosy.


And also enjoy this unique & oh-so cute picture taken from my fav illustrator/artist, Holly Becker's blog - decor8.


Happy Wednesday everyone!

Goodbye to MJ

It was silly of me yesterday afternoon - for being confused of the time for the actual live coverage of MJ's Memorial Service both at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood and at the LA Staples Center. Mostly live interviews and remembering his extravagant life was aired online yesterday afternoon. But I did stayed up very late from 1am - 3am this morning to watch the ceremony live on E! It was pretty touching and I was in tears as well.


Michael Jackson's brothers carried the singer's gold-trimmed casket into the Staples Center sports arena in downtown Los Angeles for the memorial, the same place where Jackson rehearsed the day before his death for a highly-anticipated comeback tour.


The Memorial Service ended with MJ's daughter, Paris Jackson giving a very short speech "Ever since I was born, daddy was the best father you could have imagine" & crying "I love him so much" - just emotionally beautiful to watch.

Read more - here.

Right now I'm lack of sleep but that's ok - since our office pantry is out of coffee, sipping tea is good enough.



Gone To Soon
Music by Larry Grossman
Lyrics by Buz Kohan ("Buzzie Wuzzie")

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon


This could be sort of my last tribute to MJ in here. Good bye Michael - we'll meet someday in Heaven!
