Sunday Morning

Morning darlings.

I just had my breakfast; my favourite pedas nasi lemak and a cream puff. Wish there's a teh tarik somewhere in the house to pair it up with the lovely meal, sighhh. I rarely eat lunch and dinner now. I havent for 2 weeks dah. I start my days now with a heavy breakfast and skip lunch and dinner. Not doing it on purpose, but memang now after the big breakfast session i dont feel that hungry anymore.

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper"

So since 2 weeks ago i have been sleeping extra early (after Isyak) and i wake up way before Subuh. Which is a good thing but i am not used to it yet. But insyaallah i will. Its been raining for days now ever since the quake in Japan ... Im not sure whether the quake has anything to do with this but i cant tell when was the last time we had this kind of weather in March. And because of the non-stop rain i had to cancel my Koh Lipe trip. Its sad and such a waste because the flight and hotel dah bayar. And i chickened out after learning about the quake in Myanmar which Bangkok and Hanoi pun dapat rasa. Yeaah Koh Lipe is not that near to Bangkok but i dont want to take any chances. So its okay. I stopped using the aircon and fan because its so cold. Looking forward for the weather to be all sunny again. Soon i hope! Nak p Koh Lipe!

I have few appointments this week and gotta teman my friend to an event on Friday and i might have to miss out on Selina's birthday dinner later on that night. And was planning to tengok Kampong Boy the musical hari Sabtu but semalam check the ticket dah habis! I mean theres still tickets of course but tak cukup for me and 5 of my friends. So sad! Dah lah Koh Lipe tak jadi, ticket Bruno Mars sold out and now ticket Kampong Boy pun sold out. Sabar je lah!

Tomorrow dah Monday. Hope everything boleh settle by today. And my partner and i wants to start shooting next weekend. Hopefully sempat siap semuanya this week! The boys really need to work faster! Oh oh oh semalam Earth Hour i almost forgot! Time tu i dah in zzzz land. I participated in my dream. How was your Earth Hour? Tutup lampu tak for an hour? I hope you did.

The beautiful Elizabeth Taylor passed away 3 days ago. Being a fan of classic Hollywood movies, it was such a sad news. She was amazing in Cleopatra and she was truly beautiful during her youth. She had 7 husbands, and her diamonds, oh my dont get me started on the diamonds! But all things pretty aside, she fought hard to raise awareness and money for Aids, a cause she supported with all her heart. Her class, talent and beauty will be with us forever. RIP Elizabeth Taylor. You will be missed.

PS: A shout-out to my lovely girls - Selina and Iba, wishing you two a very happy birthday! I hope you girls get what you want and may God bless you always x

Wishing For Better Days

I am supposed to go to Koh Lipe this Friday. Everything is paid. Flight tickets and rooms. But somehow i dont feel like going. Lately ni its always raining. Do you think its the same in Koh Lipe? And i dont know if its safe going there right now what with the tsunami and quake etc ...

This week is sort-of my 'holiday' week. I have nothing much to do right now. Because im waiting for the graphic boy and the website designer to get back to me. I hope soon. Not enjoying holiday at all. Because theres nothing much to do except sleep, sleeeeep and more sleeeeeeeep. How not to when its so cold outside? Its perfect weather to sleep.

But i think next week is going to be hectic. So i guess i have to enjoy my day off while i can. Im dying to get a haircut, a pedicure manicure, a facial and a spa session oh God pleaseee, and i've been wanting to pay a visit to my friends to see their newborns. And i reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want to go to KL next week for Lat's Kampong Boy The Musical. Im dragging all of my girlfriends along. Sorry girls!

Oh, and just a reminder, Earth Hour is this week people! Its this Saturday 26th. You know what to do right? And please please please make lots of doa to the poor people in Japan and Libya because while we're laughing, lounging around a lot of lives there are at risk.

My heart is with the cities in Libya. May Allah protect them and prayers to all the soldiers and rebels fighting their hardest for a democracy in Libya. And also to the 50 workers staying behind to handle the Fukushima disaster. They are heroes to Japan and to the world.

The world is a beautiful place. We are the ones ruining its beauty. Its a sad thing.

A Little Goes A Long Way

Few days ago, as usual before i sleep i'll blog-hop. Its the same when we were a kid, we read books before we sleep but now semua pun dah advance so baca blog posts je lah. And i came across Mia Suraya's blog (one of my faves blogger now) she did a post on how to help-out the people in Japan. I want to thank her for doing that entry because by doing so, boleh tolong jugak sikit eventhough its not much but i believe in the saying "Sikit sikit lama lama jadi bukit".

After donating ... it felt good. You'll always feel good after doing something good to others i believe so. I have also reached out to other bloggers asking their help to do a blog entry on this because i know the traffic that they have could help Japan in a way. I reached out to a few but so far these three kind-hearted gorgeous ladies were the ones yang dah buat an entry on this (in Facebook/blog). Thank you to Mia Farris, Shazreeyana, Shazwani, Reena, Adriani, Ami Schaheera, Aliaa, Wawan Azwani, Marina Shah and Jumie. I hope others will follow suit. Im sure they will insyaallah its only a matter of time.

To those yang dah donate thank you very much for helping out. You should be proud of yourselves for your kind hearts. Good karma will come to you.

As of today, at least 4000+ people have died and almost 900 people is still missing. Let us pray for them and keep them in our hearts. "The nation will persevere because they are remarkably resilient people", in the words of my mother. That said, i am counting for the days for her and family to be in the safer shores of Penang insyaallah.

Reena just posted this one her Facebook and i just have to share this with everyone. I am so moved and touched by Japan's unity and togetherness that i cant help myself that i really feel like crying now. I truly wish we have something like this right here in our country.

The earthquake timeline

Friday

2.46pm in Japan, massive earthquake 9.0 magnitude unleashes a huge tsunami sweeping houses, boats, cars and people. In Tokyo, hundred miles from the quake building shakes violently. More than 50 aftershocks follow - seven at least near to 7.0 magnitude, the size of the quake which struck New Zealand in February.

Saturday

Japan's government launches a massive rescue mission. More than a 1000 of people have died. US military vessels and aircraft carriers are sent, along with relief teams from South Korea, New Zealand and Australia. Japan requests help from UK. An explosion erupts in Fukushim Dai-ichi nuke plant. The operators at the nuke plant detected 8 times the normal radiation levels outside and 1000 times inside. Death toll rises to at least 1300 but thousands more are missing. More than 200,000 people living in shelters in 5 prefectures or states. More than 1 million households have no water. 4 million buildings are without power.

Sunday

Japan's nuke safety agency says the cooling system of a third nuke reactor at Fukushima has failed. Experts constantly monitors the levels of radioactivity in the quarantined area. Around 170,000 people have been evaquated from a 12-mile radius around the Fukushima #1 nuke plant. Their Prime Minister said this is the country's worst crisis since the WW2. 160 people were taken to hospital after possibly being exposed to radiation while waiting to be evacuated. 

Monday

Second hydrogen explosion reported. Six people injured. Japanese stocks nosedive as the huge cost of the disaster fuels fears about the country's economy. The Bank of Japan injected 15 trillion (£114.4 billion) in the money markets to stabilized it. 

Tuesday

Dangerous levels of radiation leak from the Fukushima plant after a third explosion, in the #2 reactor. The Prime Minister urges those within the 19 miles of the area to stay indoors.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Japan. Hopefully the chaos ends soon. Insyaaallah.

8.9 Magnitude Earthquake In Japan

My thoughts and prayers to those in Japan. And i really hope my family is safe. I am so worried not being able to get through my mother's phone. Its so crazy.


For more news: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-11/tokyo-buildings-shaken-by-7-9-earthquake-highest-tsunami-warning-issued.html or http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2011/03/2011311607470826.html

Update:

I. I cant get a hold of my mother still, but my cousin in Hong Kong just spoke with a contact of his at the Tokyo American Club and apparently Yokohama hasnt suffered much damage. Alhamdulillah. Im glad to hear this. I hope everything is well with my family there.

II. Tsunami alert for New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii and others. Waves
expected over the next few hours, caused by the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan.

III. When the earthquake hit, my brother and step dad were out on the road and my step dad managed to contact the neighbor only few hours after that to inform about their wellbeing. They got stuck in the massive jam for few hours and went home safely around 11.30pm Malaysian time. My family is safe and sound, alhamdulillah. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers dear friends. May God bless your kindness.

IV. 60 dead, 59 missing. A ship carrying 100 people was swept away by the tsunami. Widespread fires burnt out of control. Four million homes were said to be without electricity. Masyaallah. Let us all pray for those in Japan and those affected by the tsunami.

V. The waves destroyed more than 3000 homes. 548 missing, 178 confirmed dead and 947 injured. A ship of 100 people were swept away and trains went missing. My heart and prayers goes out to Japan during this difficult time. May Allah SWT make it easy for you people. Amin.

Crazy/Beautiful

Two gorgeous ladies donning two gorgeous dresses! The one Olivia wore reminds me of a baju kurung made by Rizman Ruzaini some time ago. It was gorgeous but looking at Olivia's Marchesa dress it made my heart stop a beat! Lagi cantik! Wedding dress inspiration anyone? Hehe and how often do you see Miss Jolie wearing something that is not black? The emerald green dress was perfect! It matches her eye color dont you think so?

That aside, i am a Virgo now can you believe it? I blame it all on the new 13th zodiac sign, Ophiuchus (pronounced "O-pee-u-kus"). I miss being a Libra! Damnit. I miss where every month i'll check-out what Libra reads in Cleo magazine. Sekarang kena baca Virgo lah, ishhhhhhhhh ...

So whats your new sign people? Are you happy with your new sign? And i wonder, Libra punya trademark is the alat timbang, Ophiuchus punya apa ha?

Ni ha symbol for the new zodiac

Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya Mati Dibunuh Dan Dibakar

What a sad devastating news to her family and to the three others too, al-fatihah. Moga roh-roh mereka ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman. Dah lah we just celebrated Eid Mubarak, cant imagine what they're going through right now ... so sad :/

This taken from the news; "Misteri kehilangan jutawan kosmetik, Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya, 47 dan tiga lagi lelaki sejak 30 Ogos lalu telah terungkai dengan tertangkapnya tujuh suspek yang dipercayai terlibat dalam kes tersebut. 

Difahamkan, seorang daripada suspek yang ditahan merupakan peguam yang bergelar Datuk berusia 40an yang dinamakan polis sebagai suspek paling dikehendaki dalam kes kehilangan usahawan wanita terbabit bersama tiga yang lain. 

Hasil soal siasat ke atas suspek, polis mendapat maklumat bahawa kesemua mangsa sudah dibunuh dan dibakar manakala abu mayat mereka dibuang ke dalam laut di Pantai Morib, Selangor."

George Galloway For PM!

Watch till the end of this video. Blondie got bitchslapped by George HAHAHAHA. 

"You don't give a damn! You don't even know about the Palestinians families! You don't even know that they exists! Tell me the name of one member of the seven members of the same family slaughtered on the beach in Gaza by Israeli warship! You don't even know their name! But you know the name of every Israelis soldiers who's being taken prisoner in this conflict because you believe whether you know it or not that Israelis' blood is more valuable than the blood of Lebanese or Palestinians!"

Word! You are now officially my idol Mr. George. *bows*

Paul The Sotong Goes To Harvard

Well ... I am reading the statuses in FB and Twitterland right now and i guess its safe to say that Paul The Octopus 'so called' prediction is correct. Spain is the 2010 World Cup champion. And Mr. Google told me its their first? If its true then congrats to the players! I honestly do not know whos playing in which team and i dont care. I stopped watching football shortly after Beckham got out of Manchester United. I am only posting this because this means the death end of World Cup 2010. Ahhh finally ...

I hope and pray that Paul will be in extra super safe care after this because God knows how many bad people out there wanting to 'lenyek' him for predicting this victory.

And i hope i got the right flags of the teams who played tonight. Too lazy to Google about this. Its football, not Chanel or Chuck Bass, bleghhh. And congrats to Paul for being the modern time Nujum Pak Belalang.

PS: I am clueless about football so please do correct me if i am wrong about anything. Thank you very much. And oh, to those who supported the losing team, wipe your tears and move on it is just a game. Its not like your pet hamster just died or anything.

PPS: Should Paul be under the 'Babble' section or under 'Celebs And Goss' since he is quite the celebrity right now kan? I am confused.

Hell With The Israelis!

Well said Tun. I can't believe the Arab leagues aren't doing anything at all to help. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. And you can stop calling yourself good Muslims when you're doing nothing to help your brothers and sisters in dire need of help when you have all the money and power in the world to help but you simply chose to be mute.

A hadith tells us that Rasulullah SAW said; "A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim" and "A brother does not leave his brother helpless nor does he lie to him not yet makes false promises, not treats him with cruelty."

Another hadith tells us, "If a Muslim is being insulted and degraded and his honour besmirched somewhere and another Muslim leaves him helpless, Allah would leave the latter helpless on occasions when he would need help. And if any Muslim helps him in when he is insulted and degraded, Allah shall help him when we would need help."

Rasulullah SAW has also said; "One who defends the honour of his brother, Allah keeps the fire of hell away from his face on the Day Of Judgement."  

And its true what Tun said, their sufferings during the Holocast has not made them better humans. They are worse than the Nazis.

They definitely are.
