To The Left

Tomorrow is Monday...Just another week in my life...I have a training to provide in KL town..not so exciting but thank God it only 1 participant. Then on Thursday, I have company "Cross Training" in Genting Highland with all my colleagues from Malaysia,Singapore and Thailand.Quite a week for me.Then on Sunday most probably I will go for AF5 Audition,this one actually just to fulfill my dream to be a singer. I always wanted to be a singer. I love singing.Talented or not, it is depends on how you evaluate my ability on rendering a song.

Actually I am "on" with Beyonce's new hit song, Irreplaceable. Love the melody and the lyric is very straight forward and good to me.

To the left, to the left

I am just wondering what is the real meaning of that quote. Or it just asked the guy to go to the left.Hahaha...I am so sorry my English is not so damn good. So I just take it straight forward meaning.Silly me...Actually "to the left" means dismissed, dumped or broke off. Or "Step aside," as in when a person is dumped: means to get out of one's face and life so that a new partner can be established.

Or

Indicating where the door is located, even if it is not actually located to the left -- "To the left" indicates that your exit is expected right fucking now.

ow I understand the song completely. So hopefully when you read this, you will get a clear picture of this song. This is my current favorite song. It is No.1 Hit in Billboard single chart for God sake...I got quite a good taste nah?

But I know I cannot claim myself as Irreplaceable right?

An Exile's Farewell

The ocean heaves around us still
With long and measured swell,
The autumn gales our canvas fill,
Our ship rides smooth and well.
The broad Atlantic's bed of foam
Still breaks against our prow;
I shed no tears at quitting home,
Nor will I shed them now!

Against the bulwarks on the poop
I lean, and watch the sun
Behind the red horizon stoop —
His race is nearly run.
Those waves will never quench his light,
O'er which they seem to close,
To-morrow he will rise as bright
As he this morning rose.

How brightly gleams the orb of day
Across the trackless sea!
How lightly dance the waves that play
Like dolphins in our lee!
The restless waters seem to say,
In smothered tones to me,
How many thousand miles away
My native land must be!

Speak, Ocean! is my Home the same
Now all is new to me? —
The tropic sky's resplendent flame,
The vast expanse of sea?
Does all around her, yet unchanged,
The well-known aspect wear?
Oh! can the leagues that I have ranged
Have made no difference there?

How vivid Recollection's hand
Recalls the scene once more!
I see the same tall poplars stand
Beside the garden door;
I see the bird-cage hanging still;
And where my sister set
The flowers in the window-sill —
Can they be living yet?

Let woman's nature cherish grief,
I rarely heave a sigh
Before emotion takes relief
In listless apathy;
While from my pipe the vapours curl
Towards the evening sky,
And 'neath my feet the billows whirl
In dull monotony!

The sky still wears the crimson streak
Of Sol's departing ray,
Some briny drops are on my cheek,
'Tis but the salt sea spray!
Then let our barque the ocean roam,
Our keel the billows plough;
I shed no tears at quitting home,
Nor will I shed them now!

Friendship...All That I Need

Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.

Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Malaysia's Finest Actresses

Wow...now I will talk about Malaysia's finest actresses in my view. First the best of all in my opinion is Latifah Omar.The most gorgeous actress ever in Malaysia movie scene. So drop dead gorgeous.Classy I think if I compare to Hollywood may be I can refer to Ava Gardner or Audrey Hepburn. She is most remembered in Bawang Putih Bawang Merah. I believe she is now in Singapore. The yesteryears actresses those I love; Zaiton,Saadiah,Sarimah,Roseyatimah. Mariani also a good even now she is getting better. Then come Norkumalasari,thanks to her parent talent. She is so wonderful actress and she is a top model back then. I love her in Tanah Manisah even tho it is only drama. She also excelled in Rahsia but the sad thing is she never got a recognization for her efforts in acting. If you do not know she is also a singer. Then the Dive Fauziah Ahmad Daud. Her late mom is on my list too.She is a child actor then become a huge star in Malaysia. I love her in Ceritaku Ceritamu, Ali Setan,Suara Kekasih,Puteri and Bintang Malam. I love her in 3 Duri Di Hati Bonda.She is so great. No one from current scene can achieve what she achieved then.Erma Fatima also a great actress.Who can forget her rivalry with Fauziah in early 90's movie scene. Erma is loveable in Hati Bukan Kristal so much more. And the most beautiful Pan Asian look actress ever, the super stunning Julia Rais.I love all her movies but the best is Mira Edora and Hati Bukan Kristal.Her career may be not so long in the industry after she settled down and now she is no more an actress. I want her back I can guarantee you she will rock the industry again. If you can recall Sofea Jane only a small actress at that time. But Sofea also a damn good actress. Perempuan,Isteri Dan ... She is no more Sofea. She is Zaleha in that movie. Now I can smile because she start workin on TV movie "Sebuah Ijtihad" with Sheila Rusly and Mas Idayu. Vanida Imran is one of my favourite actress even tho she is more to TV actress. I love her in Perempuan Melayu Terakhir and the title is so catchy to Malaysian. Then The Red Kebaya.She has a classic face and she suit for a role in epic movie or period movie. Eja also my favourite. I love her.So beautiful so talented. One of my favourite in comedy genre is Jasmin Hamid she just do it like that. So effortless.Love Jasmin Hamid. Others who deserve to be in this blog are Amyza Adnan,Ellie Suriaty,Norseha,Wan Maimunah,Norlia Ghani,Fauziah Nawi,Raja Azura,Umi Aida,Nasha Aziz,Lynn,Sharifah Shahira,Sharifah Shahora,Sheila Rusly,Abby Abadi, and many more. The current hottest actress must go to Maya Karin and Fasha Sandha. Erra Fazira is talented but she is yet to show her real talent. I think she must try to work with someone like Mahadi J.Murad or Uwei Shaari.

The Finest Actress

Who do you think the finest actress in Hollywood? I think Kate Winslet is one of the finest actress in Hollywood. But the poor thing is she never got a recognization for her efforts in acting. She has Sense and Sensibility,Titanic,Finding Neverland,Romance and Cigarettes,Little Children under her belt. Other excellent actress for me is Cate Blanchett. You just pass to her any character she will nail it just like that. From Elizabeth to The Missing to Bandits to The Aviator to Babel and the latest Notes On A Scandal. She just so good. Julia Roberts...owh gosh she is just a sweetheart. That's why people named her as America's Sweetheart. She is a bankable actress and she is also come with a good talent.She just so talented. I am eagerly waiting for her next movie with Tom Hanks Charlie Wilson's War. She will definitely will earn another Oscar for her role. But the bad news is she is expecting for her third child so all her other projects will be put on hold. I believe there are 3 or 4 other plum projects for her. Reese Witherspoon...another America's Sweetheart. A dropped out from Medical school because she wanted to persue her dream as an actress really good decision. It's worth it. She just won herself Best Actress for her role as June Carter Cash. She sings all songs herself.It really impressed me. Her contender last year is Felicity Huffman. Also another great actress herself. Her role in Transamerica is really amazed me. She just transformed into transsexual and her appearance and her expressions toward the character really stunned me. Meryl Streep the real Queen of Hollywood. One of the winningest actor in Hollywood award function history. This year she is one more time in spotlight for her role in The Devil Wears Prada. I read the novel and it is really hilarious and show us a real world for fashion world specifically. She just Meryl Streep. No others. But Kate Winslet may be follow her steps because she nominated quite a few times but never win it. I think other great actresses are Julianne Moore (Far From Heaven), Nicole Kidman(The Hours), Cameron Diaz(The Holidays), Marcia Gay Harden(Mystic River), Renee Zellweger ( I love her in CHICAGO), Catherine Zeta Jones(Chicago), and so many more...There are so many actresses who are talented but never got a good role to shine. For a new generation my bet will be on Kirsten Dunst, Lindsay Lohan, Keira Knightley (most expensive young actress), Anna Hathaway.

For your information the highest paid actress is Reese Witherspoon. She earns USD30 million per movie and follow closely by Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz,Nicole Kidman,Renee Zellweger and Halle Berry.

Am I Happy

What is the definition of HAPPY for you guys?
If I am laughing, that is mean I am happy?
If I have a lot of money, that is consider I am happy?
If I watch "White Chicks" and laugh like carzy, is that make me happy?
If I score straight A's, is that make me happy?
If I got a good appraisal, that makes me happy?

I really do not know whether I am happy or not.I really clueless I am in the middle of soulless. Do not know what to think and what to do.I lost in my own world. Don't know what is actually I want in life?What does makes me happy? Fortune,perhaps but doest it really makes me happier?You tell me...I look happy but people really don't know what is inside me. Maybe because I am an easy goer and bubbly that's make me look happy all the time. I am a sad person.Deep inside I really feel numb. What is HAPPY for me???

Just A Reminder...

Sometimes I feel insecure about myself and that is because I forgot to be grateful. I should proud of what I am and put efforts to establish myself;to prove something to me.Insecurity can contribute to bad bad situation .I started bitching and barking at other people and it is so not cool.So not right.For an ego and arrogant, there is something deep inside;the gratitude and humbleness. So just remember this:

If you said that other people are stupid,
That doesn't make you smarter,
If you said other people are ugly,
That doesn't make you any prettier.

So please feel good about yourself and stay positive and live your life with a good guide and put a good effort on it you will definitely will have a good compensation in life.

Salam out!!!

Futsal

Ok first of all, I am not so fond on Futsal,Futsol whatever!!!How you pronounce it does't matter for me because it is just a name.We can pronounce it what we like it to be sound. For example, if Givenchy some people pronounce it as JIVENCI but the correct pronounciation is JOVONSHI. So just be it. I just got my very first experience played Futsal in Sport Planet, Ampang. I am quite reluctant because all of them are my Bro's colleagues so it is kinda awkward so I just ok let's try and give a shot on it. Even tho it is exhausting like hell but I kinda enjoy it. I scored a goal.Not bad for a beginner or I should tell you a First Timer. HAHAHAHA...So I just love it even tho the pain of is still there.

Happy Friday...
Until Next Time...

I Lost A Friend Yesterday

Actually, yesterday and today I am on annual leave. Just to relax and celebrate New Year with new resolution. Kinda tired just travelling back to my hometown (Selising, Kelantan) for AidilAdha.I was online then one of my close friend(from SMACH, my high school colleugue) who staying in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (can you imagine that) told me in Yahoo Messenger that one of my friend, Abdul Aziz passed away on Tuesday. He met and accident while driving back to Kerteh(he worked there) from Kota Bharu. He died on the spot. It is quite devastating seems I never met him since we finished our Form Five. May be because we are not in the same college. He was in Johor and I was in Kuala Lumpir. He was a funny guy even tho he was a freshie(we called that name for students who entered the school in Form Four; we were there since Form One).He was a funny guy and quite a nice person and I am not his best friend but we personally talked and chit chatted sometimes.

AL FATIHAH...
