got sometime to update more then one post. decided to add this one. someone told me that my post has always been heavy. so, this is something that is suppose to be light.

a pic of my daughter resting on me chest. sweet, huh? this is one of her favourite sleeping position.

next time i post her other favourite position.. hehehe!

*ps: anyway, didnt mean to post this pic to show u peeps that I got a fair share of chest hair (I dindt know either that I look this sexy)... heheheh.... just that NR just look better in this pic then the rest that I've taken in this position... wink!

How Could this happen to me....

been loving a song by Simple Plan for months now. was a yr back when I first started listening to it, but I've never come across the Mtv till earlier on. dunno wat makes me wanna check for the Mtv @ youtube. maybe cos, Zul reminded me that I used to listen to the song so much and was singing it.

hmmmm... firstly, i open up another window and check for its lyrics. as per normal in preparation to sing the correct verse as the song goes. then, i played the song from Utube and began singing along. as the song goes, i was really enchanted by it, till i understand wat the meaning is all about. it never occur to me that I never really understand wat it means nor has it occur to me that i've not watched the mtv before.

as i read the verse, singing the sing, i realized that its bout a mistake done that has no point of return. I began to realize also that this verse, "how could this happen to me?" was repeated several times.

It really struck me like lightning and i m awed when people asked themselves why things happen to them when it happened. when things do not go their way, people always asked " how could it happen to me?". When things go on according to plan, they would never seek for Him and thank Him for wat they had gone thru.

dun u think that The conversation should be done 5 times a day?

well, i m no angel myself.

but i m just so amazed that people do ask this question. in the first place, who are we to question Him? all are fated, and it just so happened that your fate is written as such. Y else u need to ask that question?

hehehhe... really dunno y i end up talking bout this when my initial plan is to write bout the Mtv. maybe i m just amazed at wat people do when life took a wrong turn. all of us plan things ahead and they dream that life is perfect. not knowing that there is another sole Being that had actually plan for us, our entire lifetime. like who we met, who we fall in love, break ups and many more. be thankful for everyday that u open up ur eyes and u can stilll see ur parents smiling. be thankful to Him when u reach home safely everyday.

for the time being, lets just leave the 5 times aside. lets talk bout the basic things that u are suppose to do first. I mean talking bout the 5 times may offend someone. but talking bout the pure heart is another. I mean its everyone's responsibilities....

well, the best thing to do is, just take a minute of ur time sometimes and reflect the things that are left undone, which should be done now..... things that u should do.... look at urself and ask... "How could this happen to me?"....

On the First Day of April...

The first of April, some do say,

Is set apart for All Fools' Day.

But why the people call it so,

Nor I, nor they themselves do know.

But on this day are people sent

On purpose for pure merriment

Do you know how this term come about? Well, hearsay, says that it was

originated from France. until the mid sixteenth century, France celebrated new year

on the 1st of April. then, in 1562, the Pope introduce Christian calender and the

new year was then changed to the 1st of January.

word of the changes do not reach the rural areas that fast, as you all know, there is no emails then. some people continued to celebrate on April 1. These poor, misinformed souls were referred to as "April Fools" and had tricks played on them.

that was then. this year, at present, I had the trick done on my lil' one. Nadra Raissha. on that day, I brought Nad to the CSC, Cover Looks, for her first make over session, ever. well, sooner or later she would obviously had hers. why not make it sooner? 4 months and 21 days after birth, she had hers. as you can see later, it was professionally taken. make up, hair do's and clothing (model's own). all was perfect. but just to make it official, i would like to state that it is obviously wasn't easy as it seems. it was her first infront of big camera, lighting and the incessant flashes that blind her eyes. I had to carry her from behind and at the same time, cooing her so that she would stay focus and smile.

you could never be happy when she smile for the first 5 flashes. then, the agony began. she started to slide down from her pose. she slouched and pouted. as it is, she is not comfortable to be infront of the camera (not her parents traits). we really had a hard time making her smile or at least look at the camera.

by the time that we changed her to her second outfit, she already grew tired of sitting and posing. so we tried the prone position. flowers beside her, doesnt help a bit. she began to smile and the incessant flashes of the cameraman keep on blinding her sight.

after 80 odd takes, it's finally over. after the session, i chose the best of the best poses and these are the pictures. you know wat? that evening, she vomitted and become irritable over trivial matters... the day after, she had her first flu... first for both - make over & flu.

*yawn...

been feeling rather lethargic lately. just got better from my flu. got it from Nadra. now that the flu bug is gone, I can really got up and running.

went for bowling last friday night at csc with the family. and the best part is, i m last when the game is over. waited for almost an hour and the half before we can get a lane. forget that the day was a public holiday in the first place.

been really long since i had that kinda fun with the family. been planning to get down to it again. this time round, intended to get two lanes and getting soem frens along.

well, thats one plan that need not much planning. another plan is to get a chalet and inviting frens to go down and have a bbq.... or just chilling and relax. thats a notehr that i need to plan for the next few months, other than thatm i think, i live by teh day...

Ice Age 2 - the Meltdown

You guys really got to watch this show. I dunno how to describe it, cos i am afraid i might blurt out too much. Its better than part 1....

You are how you speak...

People, reading between the lines does not mean reading those stretches of blank paper between words printed on a page. No, reading between the lines mean a reader goes beyond the surface meaning of the words. Like an onion, the intentions of an author or writer, have to be peeled away, deciphered layer by layer.

Without understanding the intentions of an author, it is impossible to understand what the author is trying to say. I've seen a young girl who put on a T-shirt with the motto "Chick Rule!" printed below a picture of a baby chicken.

Not knowing how to read the shirt properly, which in this case involves understanding the pun on the word "chick", another boy strode along and asked why she likes chicken so much. The girl answered, "I don't really like chickens," which left the poor boy more confused then ever.

A same word can, in different intentional contexts mean radically different things. It is up to the reader to "break the code" to what the author actually intend to tell you. If you are unable to decipher it, many things could basically just go to waste.

Same goes to what we say. Once spoken, words cannot be retracted. Words are tools that we've always had access to and have used everyday since we started talking. Because they have always been there and because we use them frequently, we get into verbal ruts. We often talk without thinking first and without being aware of the impact of our own words. Yet they can have a powerful impact - both on others and reflect us.

In dishonouring life, the worst thing that people can do is to be faultfinders. These are people who dwell on all that are wrong in the world and people around them. They whine and complain and moan and create a toxic atmosphere with their negative words. Particularly damaging is when others constantly criticize you, always pointing out what they do wrong.

People need the opposite. They need to be recognized and affirmed when they do something good. "We live in an ocean of words, but like the fish in the water, we are often not aware of it." We tend to take words for granted, and often do not think before we say something. We always have to remind ourselves the words are powerful. They have the power to destroy lives, and have the power to elevate lives. Kind words are short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless...

3rd April. How many more years can I breathe this air. Feel the warm of the sun on my skin, feel the cool breeze on my face. Touch the smooth skin of my wife and the most that I can't really wait is to have the long awaited child in my arms.Well, its been 29 yrs that I was that small and after all the years that had gone by, I think life is still the same for me. never had I imagined that afetr 29 yrs, I would be in this position and situation.Who would imagine that I would have been married, waiting for a child, moving to a new house and hmmmm... I wonder wat else would be in store next.However, without the support and understanding wife, without her encouragement and cheers, without her love and care, without her smile and tears, I dunno where I'll be. IN addition, without the chillers of bitching and comments from all my sisters and good frens... I wouldnt be here.... ...for this posting is for all of those that had entered my life... Million Thanks!

************************************************************************************

A yr ago, this wat was I wrote in teh post. This year, everything has still been the same without any much changes in me. Well, now, at 30, I got a fine daughter, home and most of alll I still got my love ones with me. Never been feeling much happier. Still wanna thank my wifey for all the great years that we've been through. Still wanna thank all my frens for all the support and the time that we had spent to make this life more colourful. It really feels different how fast age catches up on me. I hope that I got another yr to spent so that I can see all the changes as the time flew by... Dearest everyone, Thanks again for entering my life....!
