Me, Watashiwa, Ya

I am sure a lot of your have your favourite band or singer. I have and had some. To start I am still mersmerised by Take That. Yes, I am one of those teeny boppers who used to go crazy over boy bands, but when you walk down that memory lane once again and refresh your memory by looking at pictures and videos… you have this curve on your lips that can only say one thing “Ahhh those sweet memories.. those days”

I was priviledged in my life to meet some of the boy bands whom I still listen to these days, but never have I ever met the ultimate boy band in my life, Take That.

I remember those days in the late 1990s and early 2000s when my best friend and I used to roam Sungai Wang hunting for the latest Smash Hits Mag, Popstars, Galaxie, TOTP, and so much more.

We used to flip through the magazines and just look at the contents, high contents on boy bands, we boy, else we ditch! Yes, that was how we were.

And right after that, we used to head down to McD’s and makan, talk about life, and look at men (or boys, since we were pretty young then)

I used to come home after those trips, read the magazine(s) in a day, and the next thing you know, I will sit down and cut down ALL the pictures of Mark Owen, 911, Caught in The Act, Spice Girls, Manchester United (namely Ryan Giggs, Cantona & Becks), Boyzone and Code Red and keep them in my books.

Their posters, I used to plast them ALL over my walls. I have some pictures of my room in the old days that you can’t even see the walls. The only concrete you could see was the ceiling (I could not reach there, else I would have plastered with posters too)

My mom detested entering my room. I still remember… My college bag was signed by  Code Red and the phone in my room too. Autographed materials meant the world to me at that time, and meeting them was like a feeling being at the top of the world.

Now, when I look at the videos by Take That namely, how I wish I could go back to that tiny room of mine, having all these gorgeous men looking at me everyday. Ha ha wishful thinking, I know.

Jokes aside, I still keep all my CDs safe and I treasure them so much. Especially the boy bands. Laugh all you want, but for me, my boy bands rule! Especially Take That. Thank God, they are resurrected and now I still have a chance to meet them or at least see them perform live
And here is a video… I want to share with you all, its by Take That (duh!) in 1994 in a sold out concert (all their concerts were sold out anyway) my fav boy (then) Mark Owen performing Babe. This is one of my all time life performances ever! Enjoy or cringe! ha ha

Ha, don’t deny. How many of you / us have done that? Touchwood, and there you go, quickly scanning the room for something, anything that is made of wood.. and the best part, when you don’t find something that is wooden, you go and touch your bloody head! Who on earth does that? Well .. err me?

Today is Friday the 13th. Some people say it’s a day of bad luck, Wiki, my good friend says:

According to folklorists, there is no written evidence for a “Friday the 13th” superstition before the 19th century.[3][4][5] The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in an 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini:
[Rossini] was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends; and if it be true that, like so many other Italians, he regarded Friday as an unlucky day, and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday, the 13th of November, he died.[6]

Ermmm yeah okay, we got that cleared out. Anyway, no matter where you are from, Transylvania or Tasmania (huh?), we all believe in superstition You see a black cat cross the road and you spit 3 times, don’t walk under the ladder, don’t cut your nails on a Thursday.. and the list goes on.

Here is my take, I was brought up my Granny and she taught me almost everything that I need to know to start a book on superstitiousness (is that even a word?) but I do practise it.

Many people believe that 13 is a bad number, hence you can still see buildings here in Malaysia where you don’t find floor 13, but you have 12A. So does that mean if you were born on a Friday the 13th, you are doomed for life? Aiyoh, let’s not even go there
So with today being Friday the 13th, does that mean you are not allowed to go out late today scared that the ghosts are after you? Or maybe, perhaps, just perhaps Rihanna’s ill fate was caused by the fact that she planned a concert on the night of Friday the 13th here in Malaysia? See… even the concert is cursed!

Part of my rantings, I open to you all.. Any superstitious stuff you guys believe in, please leave it on comment, sms or email me. Would love to add on to the already enourmous list of mine
Have a good Scary Friday night peeps!

I don’t know why I am feeling so low.. almost depressed, lonely these days. Like something bad is going to happen or has already. (And no, I am not referring to Rihanna’s tragic ‘postponement’ concert) This is something, like it is going to change my life forever.

Or I am just being dramatic and looking at things too deeply. I don’t know. Either way, it feels like SCREWED!

I used to be very bubbly, friendly and fun. I have not been that lately, and it has nothing to do with the whole age thing, I assure you. I just feel… sad. I am not a sad person I tell you, really. I have been known to be happy all the time to the point people used to ask me, “Eh, how do you do it? Smiling all the time?” But now I don’t know where that attitude is. I really need to find it soon!

I hope you guys are having better days ahead. Mine seem bleak.

yeah the title says it all! Here I am owner of a Vodafone (phone), but no charger.. And so what I think, I am sure I am able to get a charger for any phone shops.. NO.. NO one (sings to Alicia Keys tune) has a charger.. the best part, when asked at a BLUE CUBE (official Celcom outlets who sell Vodafone phones) where to get it, they say they don’t know
Sigh.. so here is my plight, dear samaritans who are kind enough to educate me and share your knowledge as to where I am able to find a Vodafone charger.. Please tell me.

FYI I am currently using my pimped Motorola V3 which I am planning to give to my niece for her oustanding achievements in her education… So the sooner I find the charger.. The faster the 10 year old girl would be happier
Thanks peeps!

ps: Why do they even BOTHER selling the phone when you cant get a replacement charger.. I wonder what kind of silly marketing is that?

It had been a VERY long time since I last wrote. Funny how someone added me on Facebook and requested to be my friend after reading my blog. She said I sound fun. Of course I am! ha ha.. anyway here I am doing what I love doing.. writing…

Life has changed much since i last wrote. I am now with Contagious Concepts (M) Sdn Bhd.. as a Biz Activist: meaning

To activate business

Ha ha.. lame but at least more happening than being referred to as Marketing Manager.. At least from the card, you know we are pretty happening and creative
I amn still with my baby still in the same nice house overlloking the sunrise and the golf course.. and I love the life I am leading.

I am currently on a major losing weight regime. I walk / run (depends on my mood) every morning / evening (when i don’t do in the mornings), cut down on my alco intake (i know, almost impossible, but somethings you just have to do lah) and i have cut down on my food intake as well.

Already 30 years old mah.. so need to start taking care loh.. like that lah
Anyway since this is a comeback blog writing.. will add on more details as I update more frequently now
