Happy Feet is a must-watch movie!!! It's definetely the best animated movie EVER!! EVER!!!

I love mumble. we should learn from him. During the first quarter of the movie, when mumble was still small n being excluded from their singing activities cos he cant sing, it touches me. Cos at some point of ma life, i felt being left aside by friends. Even now..at times i still feel it. Having an exceptionally weird height for an asian gal, stimes ppl treat me as if im some alien!

Anywyas, back to mumble, he used his strength in the best way possible. N to those who has very few friends just cos some community cant accept u...dont give up! there are so many out there who will appreciate u. u just gotta be patient n find em. :) bottom line, be who u r. appreciate what u have :)

be mumble. :D

I got so carried away with the whole priority of words and actions in life that i ran away from ma point of even writing the topic on Action Vs Words.

In "guys suck with language skills" I received a comment saying 'action speaks louder than words' when i said that guys gotta improve on their language skills cos they stink at that. I focused on proving that words r just as important n forgot about action.

Anywyas, what im trying to say is that..to Dennis and the guys out there..yes..action speaks louder than words. Thats y God created deaf and numb ppl. cos they can survive through their actions. Ma point is..good that u guys realise that action speaks louder than words.

We girls r not expecting flowery and poetry words from u. we need action! attention! U dont have to say "I care" everyday..but a lil gesture of leaving a flower on the table or a peck on the cheek says more than that.

In today's generation..no words can be trusted 100%. U cant even trust ur own voice at times! Have u ever said "i hate you!" but behind those harsh words, u actually meant the opposite? u can lie to others with ur twisted words, but u cant lie to urself. Hence proving the power of mind.

Ok im getting all mixed up already. :P
But what im trying to say is that, i was wrong. Actions do speak louder than words. However words on the other hand r dependent on actions to prove it right. but to have a prosperous life...u should have both placed as priorities. :D

Im writing based on the comment received in the previous topic. Looks like someone's ego got shattered. :P calm down!

Which is more important? Actions or words? I think they are the bread and butter to sustain a healthy life. U cant live without one of it.

Someone said this to me..

"There is an English idiom that says "Actions speak louder than words". We say, we think and believe things that we want to be true. Actions on the other hand are rarely controlled by our thoughts (unless we develop them as habits). This is why our actions are a better mirror of ourselves and our ideologies than what we tell/believe about ourselves.
Actions take time to reveal personal ideologies. Until then words have to be trusted. I have noticed that words influence (or pollute) my perception of the person"

It's true that action speaks louder than words. But our actions r controlled by our mind. There's no logic to doing sthing without even a glance thru of thought in ur head first. Even when u r reaching out to get a bread, without realising it, u actually told ur mind that u were about to do so. So i totally dont agree when he said actions are rarely controlled by our thoughts.

However, there are spontaneous actions that might lead u to think that it wasnt controlled by ur thoughts. It was in a sudden..n at fast pace..thats y u think that way. But in reality, it was in ur head, thats y ur mind could send out signals to ur body parts to reach out or do sthing.

Ok..words. Words are the backbone of trust i would say. Then again since words n actions cant live without each other..somehow it will still come back to the fact that u gotta keep ur words n ur actions in line.
U cant say "ok" n not do it. Guys r good with that. Thats y they can answer "action speaks louder!" when i say they suck with language skills! hahahaha

To be honest, no one is great with anything. Life is a learning process. You make mistakes..u learn from it. Actions doesnt stand on its own..it needs the words to back it up. Words cant stand on its own too, it needs actions to prove it right.

So there is no such thing as action speaks louder than words or that words speaks louder than actions. u need BOTH!

so guys..polish up ur language skills!! u have got no excuses anymore! hehehe

i cant speak on men's behalf since im not em. but women tend to compare emself with men when comes to thinking. am i rite? oh come on....dont lie to urself.

I question maself sometimes.."y r men so difficult???" "y cant they get the hint?" "y they can be so heartless..n not even realise it??"
i talked to a guy colleague about it just now. even though his answers were vague..but it led me to go deeper on this topic.

Why do we think differently? Here's y.

Men and women do think differently, at least where the anatomy of the brain is concerned, according to a new study.

The brain is made primarily of two different types of tissue, called gray matter and white matter. This new research reveals that men think more with their gray matter, and women think more with white. Researchers stressed that just because the two sexes think differently, this does not affect intellectual performance.

In human brains, gray matter represents information processing centers, whereas white matter works to network these processing centers.

The results from this study may help explain why men and women excel at different types of tasks, said co-author and neuropsychologist Rex Jung of the University of New Mexico. For example, men tend to do better with tasks requiring more localized processing, such as mathematics, Jung said, while women are better at integrating and assimilating information from distributed gray-matter regions of the brain, which aids language skills.


So, now u understand y they just cant understand when we say "honey..its raining" n hope for em to get an umbrella for us..but they didnt. they suck in language skills!

but that shouldnt be an excuse for u to be self-absorbed. guys should think a lil more outside their comfort zone. where as the ladies must stop thinking too deep into everything..n that applies to maself too.

stay cool peepsss

peace!

Abis sudah rumah terbuka.

It was pretty tiring..but fun overall. I did an open house for raya yesterday at ma semi-furnished condo. Menu was:

Rendang ayam
Rendang daging
Sambal kacang
Nasi impit
Lasagna (beef)
Chickenball + mushroom pasta
Salad
Walnut brownies
Moist chocolate cake (Wan bawak)
Raya cookies
Sirap

The traditional food i ordered from a lady in uptown. It cost me a lot ..but it was good la. But the sad part was that...ppl didnt really it it surprisingly..cos they loved ma lasagna! hahahahahaha. damn..i might as well spend the money from those food n make more lasagnas instead. But it was a tiring thing la doin lasagna. i started cooking at 10pm on Sat..n slept at 4am!! got up at 7am on Sunday to cook the pasta sauce..then go collect the rendang from uptown..head to shafiq's house to bake the lasagnas...went back to set the place up n all. memang penat!

First to arrive...Dennis n Hafiz. They eat n watch Hitch with me n eeleng before Tariq n the twins appear. Then the crowd started coming after that la..around 2 gitu.
It was crazy when everyone yg expected to b there all gathered la. Noisy gila2 punya :P but it was fun. The guy enjoyed the 'pink-bikini' view from the balcony which faces the swimming pool. oh izzati n fifa joinned em too!! gila :P

by the time everyone left it was 4+. Next on the schedule will be to CLEAR things up. arrrrhhh..i hate doin dishes!!! Thank you shafiq for helping me out with that!!!
There are loads of left overs of rendang n all. Lasagna ada 2 pieces left, omar took one..n khairi took the other one just now. By the time i clear everything n take ma dinner..i was so about to K.O. slept at 9pm last nite n got up at 6am just now. hahahaha

it was fun as a whole. but dont think ill be doin for a big group like that anymore. if i had too..ill make sure i get assistants..n ppl to chip in cos it cost me A LOT! :P

I have always seen maself as an enthusiastic person. If u know me well enough, ull agree with me. When im into sthing..i give ma all. not 100% ..nor 101%..its 200%! It doesnt matter how small the task is...ill do ma best.

Im in a good position in ma life right now. I shouldnt complain. I have a steady job. I dont like it that much..but i should be thankful i even have 1. This is the first time that i have difficulties committing to it. It's tough cos i have no basic knowledge or what so ever in finance n billings n accounts n such. n ma work requires all that..detailed observation on numbers. n i HATE numbers. none of ma expertise or ma passion r being used in this work.

im not bragging..but i love ma passion in advertising. n im good at it cos i love it very much. i would so love to work on celcom's branding n marketing. but im being placed in global business in TM instead. ma mom said, u cant expect to work in a field u love, but to love the field u r working in. thats what im trying to do right now. it takes time. u hate numbers..n u r dealing with it now. u hate accounts..now u gotta love em. u hate m.excel..now u gotta make it ur bestfriend. u hate messy stuff...now u gotta organize what ever being dumped on ur table. its like that. n u gotta run while doing all of it!

aih...its one thing to realise ur lack of commitment n attn on work..its another thing when someone actually point that out to u! ma close colleague today did that. his exact words were "i could c u r taking forgranted" "u macam tak interested sangat" "u kerap lupa". i dont even remember ever being like that before this in ma life!! this is just so not me!

im not taking forgranted. i am not trying not to try to love this work. i am not forgetting stuff on purpose. i just happen to be like that in this matter. i love meetings. yes..weird..but i love it. i love the whole process of brain storming..getting feedbacks n insights from others n such...but here..i dont. maybe cos the whole system is different than where i was before..but..i just couldnt concentrate. not even during discussions!!

arrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! i gotta get back on pace!! how to restart??

Was just pondering about life before i dozzed off last nite..

I know this girl..she's the literal meaning of 'born with a silver spoon'! Welcomed to the world by a very caring and pretty wealthy family, she has been brought up with maids and drivers all her life, even before she started walking! Food and education has never been a problem in the family.

It is normal for a teenager to be rebelious during their teen life. She didnt escape it either. However, i envy the fact that even though her parents are well off...they lead such a normal life as an average Malaysians (exceptional for the cars though :p)
She led a normal teenager life too. While other teenagers were bz talking about boyfriends and Guess handbags and the latest fashion trend, she made her peace with her mom's advice "take a step at a time. If u jump, ull never be able to appreciate it". True enough. I'm glad she stuck to that advice. Even though now she dresses up in branded outfits and drinks branded coffee..she definetely knows how to appreciate em.

Graduated with good grades from a private uni here, she's currenly working in one of the well known companies in Malaysia. Had hoped to continue studying abroad, but postpone it due to financial assistance.

Living in hectic city and driving a luxurious car at such young age, she doesnt deserve to complain about life. She has the life many other girls are hoping for.

I'm glad i know her

I always...ALWAYS have things in mind to write. Everytime i see sthing interesting or experience sthing to be remembered..i always tell maself " I am sooooo gonna post that on the blog!" but i never did in the end. No! not cos i procrastinate! I dont have internet connection at home la! *excuses* :P

Lets see...soooo many things came by n gone d for the past few weeks. It has been a month+ now in TM. Finally got a laptop, own table, own drawer, own rubbish bin! Starting to mix better with the colleagues too. They r most of the time pretty serious..98% of the time facing the laptop..looking allll serious n tensed...unlike me..who will be smiling n giggling as ill be chatting! hahahahahhahaa. what? i have work la! stop assuming things! work hard..play harder! :D hehe

Finally..finally got to do sthing i love!!!! I applied to do freelance copywriting in an agency in Damansara..n guess what? I'm in!! hehehehe. I think he hired me cos i said "it's not about the payment..." :))

It's not thaaaat easy. Im still not familiar with the format n such..but getting the hang of it. Nina, the project manager has been very supportive in guiding me n all. Hopefully i can do better in the next project and can sustain ma position there. :)
