Regrets?

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most :

Saying something and wishing you had not?

or

Saying nothing, and wishing you had?

There are things that sometimes words can't describe,

but that doesn't give you the reason to keep quiet about it.

If words can't describe, there must be another way.

There is always another way.

An egg?

OR

A duck?

This should keep you wondering for a little bit. But I have a story to tell.

29052010

So sorry we couldn't make it

Mother's Day 2010

You said I'm Pinga? Haha.

It has been 2years since I moved here. But I could never forget the days before I left, it was rather a last minute decision to fly here. I didn't have much time to linger around but I did anyway. But it was as if my mum was the one who was going to leave. She rushed here and there buying my things, getting things ready for me. She even packed my whole luggage for me.

You know how you always get the special treatment when you're leaving and going somewhere far away from your family? But my mum has been like that since I was a little girl, she's always more anxious than I am, in almost everything. Despite being asked many times, I was quite reluctant to leave, so I didn't want to pack my bag. As expected, mum started packing while me and daddy just laughed as it worked, (part of me was lazy, so I chose to ignore the whole leaving thing) the trick worked. But one thing I didn't say at that time was how sad I was, and how I wanted to just cry and cancel the whole coming here thing. The picture of mum sitting there packing still at 2 in the night, still comes up in my mind every now and then.

I knew I could manage on my own, but having my mum with me, helping me through everything was a better choice. It didn't help in making me independent, but it definitely made me happy!

Yes, mum loved dressing me up. Remember how she loved tying my hair, I didn't like it because it used to hurt as I used to have so much hair on my head ( I still do anyway ), so it wasn't easy to tie them all up and make it neat. But as I got older, I learned that my brother is one year younger than I am, so mum was never free to do everything at once. But still she'd dressed me up and made me look like a doll everyday. That time I was already able to tie my own hair, but still I miss having my mum to do my hair for me. It felt good every once in a blue moon where she'd offer to tie my hair for me.

Mum, do you still remember the red mechanical pencil you gave me as an award for my good grades when I was little? You made me the happiest kid that day. Kids used to be so easily satisfied huh? I don't know about kids nowadays though, it doesn't seem like it anymore. But whatever it is, you always make me a happier kid no matter how old I am.

You're my very own hero in my heart :)

You might not be the best mum in the world,

but you are definitely the best mum for me!

The mum that everybody would wish for!

That would be one of the reasons why,

I love you, mummy!

Happy Mother's Day!

Every 60seconds of happiness

You know how sometimes you get angry at something small but yet it could be big deal for yourself? It's even more annoying when you can't shout at the person you're angry with.

GRRRRRRR...

It seems like,

I just need to find a way to get over it.

Theory or Fact?

"不是你的就别再勉强"

Translated: If it isn't yours, don't force it.

Recently, a friend of mine got turned down by a girl, again. He fancies this girl for quite awhile now, one day when he finally got the courage to ask the girl out.. well, he got turned down. But the girl did ask for some time to think about it. So he didn't give up, he asked again after awhile, only this time it ruined their friendship.

When people say if you want to make something yours, you keep trying, never give up. But does that really work? Is it just a theory or a fact? Like my friend, he didn't give up, but what he got in the end is not a relationship, but a ruined friendship, broken heart. If he would have stopped trying after the first time, he'd still have the friendship. But what would people say? That he didn't want her enough, that's why he could never get her.

So really, if something isn't yours, should you stop trying and let it go?

Or keep trying till it's yours?

Which should I say to my poor, heart broken friend?

The 2 Ws'

What do you think of the word Willing and Want?

When you're willing to do something, does that mean you want it that's why you do it? Or deep down, you don't want it but you willingly do it anyway. Just because you're being nice? Or for some other reasons of your own?

Let's say if you saw someone falling down..

Automatically you'd reach out your hand and catch them. But what does that mean?

Did you want to save them from hitting the hard ground? Or it was just a reflex that you willingly let it happen? Because you could have chosen not to bother and walk away.

In life, there are so many things that we want. We would even go after some things throughout our whole life. But why? Like wealth, it's true that we can't live without it in the real world. So we build up our knowledge since young, and have better education just so we can have a better career. But what about those people that hate their jobs and yet have the same job forever?

Why do they still do it?

No matter how much they hate their jobs and themselves everyday, sitting in that small cubicle with annoying phones that just wouldn't stop ringing.. For whatever that it's worth, they probably just want to keep their families happy, therefore working on a stupid job, willingly.

Pretty sure you got what I'm trying to say by now?

Life's too short to waste it on nonsense,

When you really want something for yourself,

You go for it.

No more hesitation.

Everyone deserves to be happy.

"Quick decisions are unsafe decisions"

Have you ever find it difficult to make choices?

Whether it is a simple question or an impossibly tough one?

ex. What should I be ordering? Banana milkshake or Pear juice?

( That could be a simple question or a tough one, it is just how you see it )

Sometimes we knew the obvious answer to a question but still we put ourselves in a bubble of question marks and act like there is no option. Then end up making ourselves miserable because we would be blaming ourselves for not being able to choose, like a fool that has got no idea what he wants for himself.

For some people, they keep thinking over and over again what's right and wrong till they get lost in their own thoughts. Eventually, find themselves in a foggy dark place.

But why do that?

Why can't our decisions just fall somewhere in the middle? Why must we choose? Blue or Red, does it really matter?

Of course I'm not saying one doesn't have to choose. But making a decision is a pain in the ass, what more making the right decision that is right. Thing is, you may never know whether if it's right. Having other people telling you what's right and what's wrong does help, but I think trusting one's own instinct and do what he likes and think it's right for himself is important. Because in the end, it is a decision of your own, one that you make that brings no regret.

What I'm trying to say is, if you do not know what to do at the very moment, let it be. Stay there for awhile till all your doubts are cleared out.

It is not so bad standing in the middle of nowhere, not knowing where you are. Maybe just by standing there, you could see what's coming to you from all directions. Sooner or later, you'll find the sun at the end of one of the roads. And you just know..

That's where you should be heading..

Just when I thought I could take it..

Then I realized,

I just needed to see it with my own eyes.

And I did.

Surviving the worse last half of an April Fools' Day.

My Shining Star

So we celebrated our ²month yesterday. Two months may sound short as it is, but it feels like we've been going on forever. If this is how forever feels like, then I guess it wouldn't be bad to go through it with you.

__________________________________________________________

But,

Something has been bothering me for quite awhile now, and I chose to speak up. Not any day but yesterday. What's not good to not have something to remember on an anniversary, right?

Well, it was a little bit after midnight when things got slightly ugly. We never really fought like how other ordinary people do, we'd always talk & sort things out. Only, some things can't really be sorted out. So there was this long silent moment.. Somehow, keeping our mouth shut works for us sometimes. I know it doesn't solve the problem, but talking about a problem with no solution is worse.

I'm not going into details

.

.

.

I took out the trash at around 3.30am, and I actually found something that cheered me up, right away!! :)

It was a total darkness, but the bright full moon...!!!!

I bet if it wasn't dark, it would have been a clear blue sky, no clouds, no nothing..

But just a beautiful blue sky.

That gives me hope.

Remember the favor,

Whenever you need it.

Happy Two Month Anniversary ♥

Turtle crap

So I thought it was cute they made turtle buns. Look at it, who wouldn't buy it?

But it is a one time thing for me. It tasted like crap! Think it was Matcha or something, but again.. Maybe it's just me, never liked Matcha in my food.

"To find out what others are feeling, don't prod or poke.

If you want to play with a turtle,

you can't get it to come out of its shell by prodding and poking it with a stick.

You might kill it.

Be gentle not harsh, hard or forceful."

Social

Sometimes we might just want to learn to hear only what is to be heard in our range. Don't go poking your nose into every little business that does or does not involve you. Most importantly those that don't have anything to do with you. Because then you might just discover things that upset you. Remember that there are always things that you might not like hearing.

Turning a deaf ear is a positive approach at times. Nothing for us to brood about that will make us unhappy. Especially holding on to grudges and unpleasant event will definitely make us unhappy. Learn to be independent and to carry on with life as simple as possible. Last but not least DO NOT BE A NOSEY POKER :)

It is time we learn to do things for ourselves and be happy :)

Have you smiled today?

:D

Welcoming myself back to Buttom Mushroom.

How long has it been since I last blogged? Wow, it feels good to be back. I was a blogger once, but I thought it takes up too much of my time. But looking at my old abandoned blog makes me want to write again. Plus, recently someone said to me,

".. writing stuff down kind of exorcises it out of ones own head.."

I can't say that I'm back for good, but for the time being, I'm back! :)

Happy 19th Birthday!

Loveliest, sweetest friends ever, EVER!!

You have to see this!
HAVE TO!

Thank you! I know I don't have to say much, because they know just how important they are to me and of course, how much I love them!

Charlie The Unicorn 02

For those who are waiting for the second episode,
Here it is!


Video by. SecretAgentBob

(Charlie is seen watching television with his stuff. The pink and blue unicorns are floating above Charlie, wearing scuba goggles, flippers, and air tanks with snorkels, pretending to swim)

Blue and Pink: Glub glub...Glub glub...glub glub...glub glub...glub glub...

Blue: Look over there! It's a coral reef.

Charlie: Oh look, it's you guys...and you're floating.

Blue: Charlie, we're scuba diving, Charlie.

Pink: We're exploring the depths of the ocean blue.

Blue: Oh no! Here comes a school of poisonous fugu fish!

Pink: Nooo! Fugu!

Charlie: Ah, you gotta watch out for those. So, uh, go away. I'm watching TV.

(A blue vortex appeared on Charlie's back)

Blue: The vortex is open!

Charlie: Oh god. Okay, what is this?!

Pink: Charlie! We're being pulled into the vortex! Swim away, fugu fish, swim away!

Charlie: Come on now. You guys are freaking me out! Turn this thing off!

Blue: There's no stopping the vortex, Charlie!

Pink: Fuuuguuuu!

(Pink and Blue disappeared, along with the vortex)

Charlie: Guys? Guuuys? Or girls...I'm not really not sure what you two are.

(The vortex appeared with Blue's head sticking out)

Blue: Charlie! Charlie, I have the amulet!

Charlie: What amulet?! What's going on?!

Blue: The amulet, Charlie! The magical amulet! Sparkle sparkle!

(Pink appeared briefly)

Pink: Sp! Sparkle!

Charlie: I, I don't understand what you're talking about!

Blue: The amulet... Nyeh! Nyeh!!!

(Blue disappeared. Then both Pink and Blue popped out of the vortex, in which it disappeared briefly. Blue has the amulet on its neck. Somehow, their scuba outfit is off)

Blue: We did it!

Pink: We got the amulet!

Charlie: Great. Now go away! I'm tired of the horrible things that happen when you're around!

Blue: No, Charlie!

Pink: No!

(Pink and Blue puffed up while screaming no repeatedly, then turned back to normal)

Blue: We have to take the amulet to the Banana King.

Charlie: Oh, yes, the Banana King, of course. Absolutely not!

Pink: He, he's counting on us, Charlie! ah... *floating*

Blue: If we don't give the amulet to the Banana King, the vortex will open and let out a thousand years of darkness.

Pink: No! Darkness! (Pink is somehow floating)

(The vortex appeared again with tentacles sticking out with a roar)

Charlie: Ah! All right, fine! I'll go! I'll go!

Pink and Blue: Yay! (Just Pink) Darkness!

(Cut to the three walking through the woods. Pink and Blue were making tongue-blooping sounds) I love this!!

Charlie: What are you two doing?

(Silence. Then Pink and Blue continued with their tongue-blooping)

Charlie: Stop that.

(Silence. Then Blue made one last tongue-bloop)

(The three stop in front of a big Letter Z)

Charlie: Oh, look at that.

(Pink and Blue started talking to the Letter Z in Spanish. Here's the translation)

Pink and Blue: Z!!!

Blue: "The man with the hat sent us!"

Pink: "He told us many amazing stories!"

(The Letter Z made pinging sounds)

Pink and Blue: Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho!

Charlie: What?

Pink: "Tonight we dine on turtles!"

Blue: "They will be good, Z!"

(The Letter Z shot a laser at Charlie)

Charlie: Ahh! What did you two do?!

Pink and Blue: Z!!!

Blue: "I am happy!"

(The Letter Z, again, made pinging sounds)

Pink and Blue: Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho!

Charlie: (mumbled) Just keeping walking, Charlie. Keep walking...

(The three stop in front of a giant sneaker)

Blue: Hop on board the train, Charlie.

Pink: It's gonna take us to the Banana King.

Charlie: I don't see any train. All I see is a giant sneaker.

Blue: It's the Choo Choo Shoe, Charlie.

Pink: The Choo Choo Shoe!

Blue: Hurry, Charlie. It's about to leave.

(Pink and Blue got in the sneaker)

Pink and Blue: Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga shoe shoooooe! Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga shooe shoooooe!

Charlie: Yeah, uh I forgot my boarding pass. I'll just walk.

(Cut to the three in front of a banana-themed temple emblazoned with the words EX ORIENTE LUX BANANA, which is probably meant to be bad Latin for "From the east, the light of a banana")

Pink: We're here, Charlie!

Blue: The Temple of the Banana King!

Charlie: Great. Let's leave the amulet and go home.

(A green slug-like creature resembling Santa Claus popped out of nowhere, smiling. According to filmcow.com, the creature's name is Frogrus. He is known to be the Banana King's servant)

Charlie: Who is that?

(Silence)

Charlie: No, no really. You guys see it, right?

(Silence)

Charlie: I gotta be honest. I'm getting creeped out here. Somebody say something?

(Frogrus suddenly started to sing)

Frogrus: Charlie, you look quite down with your big fat eyes and your big fat frown. The world doesn't have to be so grey. Charlie, when your life's a mess, When you're feeling blue, always in distress, I know what can wash that sad away. All you have to do is...Put a banana in your ear!

Charlie: A banana in my ear?

Frogrus: Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear! It's true.

Charlie: Says who?

Frogrus: So true. Once it's in your gloom will disappear. The bad in the world is hard to hear, When in your ear a banana cheers, So go and put a banana in your ear!

Frogrus and Bananas: Put a banana in your ear!

Charlie: I'd rather keep my ear clear.

Frogrus and Bananas: You'll ne'er be happy if you live your life in fear. It's true.

Charlie: Says you.

Frogrus and Bananas: So true. When it's in the skies are bright and clear. Oh every day of every year. The sun shines bright on this big blue sphere. So go and put a banana-

Frogrus: -in your earrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

(Frogrus disappeared in flames)

Charlie: Oh, of course, he burst into flames.

Blue: Go fourth, magical amulet! Return to the Banana King!

(The amulet got out of Blue's neck, floated to the air, and shines a beam of light at Charlie)

Blue: Charlie! YOU'RE the Banana King!

(Charlie is floating to the amulet from the beam of light)

Charlie: What? Hey, hey, hold on a minute!

(A banana appeared onto Charlie's back)

Banana: You're the Banana King, Charlie!

Charlie: No! I'm not! That doesn't make sense!

Blue: All hail the Banana King!

Charlie: I'm not the Banana King!

Blue: You ARE the Banana King!

Charlie: No, NO! I...I...

(Suddenly, more bananas appeared onto Charlie's back)

Bananas: Banana! Banana! Banana! Banana! Banana!

(A crown plopped on Charlie's head)

Charlie: I...I AM the Banana King!

Pink and Blue: Yay!

Banana: You ARE the Banana King!

Charlie: I'm the Banana King! Yeah!

(Charlie noticed that Pink and Blue disappeared)

Charlie: Hey, hey...where'd you go? Guys? Hello? Get me down from here!

(The beam of light disappeared, causing Charlie and the amulet to fall on the ground, and the crown falls off Charlie's head)

Charlie: Augh! Okay, that's a sprain.

(Cut to where Charlie walking through the woods alone)

Charlie: Hello? Hello! Guys, where are you?

(Charlie saw that his TV and the rest of his stuff was gone)

Charlie: Argh! Ya gotta be....Great! They robbed me!

(Suddenly, the vortex from earlier appeared, with Blue's head sticking out)

Charlie: Ahh!

Blue: Charlie!

Charlie: What do you want?!

(Silence)

Blue: plulululup! (Loveeeeeeeeee this!)

Check out his Youtube videos

I can never get tired of this!
Even after watching it for a hundred times!!

(Melon)

Last week, I went to this incredibly cute little store in Meguro and they have the cutest lighters, cigarette boxes, cigarettes in different flavors and even flavored cigars. I've not heard of grape flavored cigar before till last week, it smells a lot like the bubble gum and it's wrapped with the sweetest paper, enough to make your lips sweet with the taste of grapes. Didn't quite like it though, and I got few boxes of those flavored cigarettes. The picture above, that's one of it. That too, sweet like hell. I actually wondered if one could get diabetes from smoking these!

( Apple, Lemon )

( Grapes, Peach )

It is image like this that makes you miss all your friends back home!

Though the others aren't anywhere in the screen


But I miss every single one of you!!

Confessions Of A Shopaholic

For those who love the movie 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic', but haven't read the book by Sophie Kinsella should definitely read it. Personally, I think the book is so much better than the movie itself. Well, there were a few things on my mind that annoyed me throughout the whole journey of the movie.

First let me start with the characters. Rebecca Bloomwood, also known as Becky ( Isla Fisher ), is the famous financial expert everybody loves. She loves to shop and although in numerous occasions, she's described as the girl who has zero knowledge of the finance, but if asked for advice, she'd always come up with something smart. But in the movie, she seems more like a dumb blonde who only knows how to shop, and zero knowledge! I'm sure one of the reasons why readers love Becky is because she is the 'scheming shopaholic', nobody likes girls who only know how to dress up themselves.

As for Luke Brandon starring Hugh Dancy, didn't appear to be the arrogant but smart, tall and dark handsome hunk. The entrepreneur who owns his own company, 'the modern day prince charming' as he is in the book. Somehow, I've always pictured him that way. I think the actor was a let down, he's so wrong for the role!
Next up, we have the best friend Suze ( Krysten Ritter ) who has blonde hair, not black!! Her boyfriend Tarquin or Tarky ( Nick Cornish ), in the book he's described as a geek and wears weird-looking knitwears made by his grandmother. He's not supposed to be good looking as he is in the movie, he's described as thin and bony, so why can't the character in the movie be that way?! Obviously they missed out the fact that Tarky is the 15th richest guy in the country and is Suze's cousin and had a crush on Becky before Suze!
Alicia Billington or Alicia bitch long-legs ( Leslie Bibb ), works for Luke not some magazine company! And she is never Luke's girlfriend or anywhere near that.
Derek Smeath ( Robert Stanton (II) ), this is ridiculous. He's the sweet Smeathy that Becky loves, not this evil debt collector!

The setting of the story is changed including the location, in the book everything happened in London not New York. They are British not Americans! Not to say that I hate the movie, but I love the Shopaholic series too much to let the movie spoiled everything that I've imagined.

Read the book to get more detailed details =)

Problem with Restaurant City

I was wondering if you all RC players have the same problem?
See the shadows there??
It has been days already, they really need to fix it!!!

Forever21

The Forever21 in Harajuku, Tokyo

First shop in Japan, it was opened on April 29. I was there, the crowd was crazy! We had to line up to get in there, people started lining up an hour before the 11am opening. I couldn't take the pictures so I'm grabbing from TokyoFashion.com.

The line went all the way down a few blocks, there were securities all over guarding the line. One group after another had their turns to go in. That's one of the good things about Japanese, I call them 'The Obedient Citizens'. Right there, I was wondering if this was in Malaysia, people wouldn't be following the instructions, what more staying in line? That is no wonder why my parents never liked going to crowded places. You might get stumbled over or squished! One of the many things Malaysians should learn!


I'm not one of those people who lives in a foreign country and start criticizing his own country. I'm not like that! But sometimes it makes me think, why can't Malaysians learn?

Well, what can I say, that's the..
