2005

Seseorang yang kita fikir adalah milik kita
Ternyata bukan benar-benar milik kita
Kita memiliki hatinya, cintanya
Tapi kita tidak memiliki jalan hidupnya

what's up? what's up? wednesday what's up?


often, when i bumped into people or them who apparently used to read my blog decided to say hi to me, i'll be asked why i've ceased blogging. i'm always tempted to cook up some high drama explanation for it but i'll end up answering, "sekarang sebook la".

the truth is a social geek like myself would always have an internet outlet, somewhere. :op

true, facebook being one of them.

on the work front, i'm currently excited that we're working on a project with a graphic designer i've always admired, there's only one + i've mentioned him in one of my posts. i've always been told by people who has worked under him that he can a bitch, when it comes to work. i don't care, as long as i can learn from the best!

and i recently discovered that after midnight, my brain sports a 6 seconds lag. everything that can be processed in 1 second would then be processed in 6 seconds. say if you were to ask me a question, it'll take 6 seconds for me to register the question, another 6 seconds between fully registering the question + coming up with an answer. once i have an image or answer in my head, i'll need another 6 seconds to be able to verbalise them.

calling me late night for an intellectual discourse is definitely a bad, bad idea. unless you own a telco.

my IQ would also deminish tremendously, not that i'm smart to begin with. hence, the boys at pictionary would have an edge, past mindnight. you want an example? sure, i'll share one.

once i was asked to describe a place in london, of course i was excited because i've been to the stadium. it's a piece of cake. i started drawing a tennis court, a tennis racket, i even drew the ball flying path after being given a backhand stroke, complete with a sound effect. of course my partner was able to guess what it was ... "wimbeldon" she shouted. instead of being excited that she was able to guess the word i'm supposed to draw, my face turned white.

wembly stadium is not a lawn tennis stadium ... it's a football stadium. i bet i looked like the biggest bimbo ever at that precise moment, maybe i should bleach my hair blonde.

well i guess, i'm not that young anymore ...

oh ... knitting/crochet is the new yoga y'all!

2008 ahoy!


i've been rudely woken up from my slumber.

*yawn*

during my months away, i found a real kick out of selling clothes + we've got a handful of regular customers (even yasmin ahmad is a repeat customer ... OMG!!! and thank you tiena + dzu + yati + hanis + sheryl for barter trading your cash with my clothes). am signing up for a short design course, we'll see how that goes. i've tried my hand at fashion DIY + am loving it as well. i'm now attracted to all things 80s. i've fallen in love with pictionary + am exploring articulate. huhu! am still a nerd, unfortunately.

why am i sharing this on the blog? i'm warning you of a probably change of voice in this sphere, if there's a come back.

oh well, happy 2008 blog world!

after 316 posts, Armageddon had arrived on the blog or so it seems. there are stories to tell, thoughts to share, still but i can no longer find the time to write here. probably it'll only be a short sabbatical, we'll see how things go.
you can still speak to me @ shamsuddinms@gmail.com.
:o)

this, on the other hand, made me cry



once again, i ask ...

when is the best time to ask for forgiveness?

once a year?

during festive seasons?

or while you still can?

i wish all of you reading a selamat hari raya filled with love, joy and forgiving.

a story began



cute!

honey, i'm home!

according to luna maya, nicholas saputra was in kalimantan, shooting, last weekend. there goes my dream, all shattered. yes! i seriously meant luna maya.



apparently to meet indonesian stars, you have to be real comot + busuk, if your baju smells of your cat it's even better (my baju had bunnyguy's smell + luna maya, appeared). on the day we were all stylo + wangi, complete with light make up, none of the indonesian stars made appearance. chet!

a picture of bunnyguy (who likes to sleep in bags, be it handbags, backpacks or suitcases), by emi

meet dewi sandra (yes ... that's my tangan at the corner, doing the enter frame)

meet pasto, an r'n'b group, under glenn fredly

and the shy keyboardist, we like!


to husbands, fiances, boyfriend and potentials, who may be reading: don't worry, the cowok2 gantang are all mine, the girls are innocent, they were forced against their will to come along with me. :op

the eloquence of silence

switchfoot - crazy in love (beyonce's cover)

(note below: i actually love the cover version by 'world mestizo ensemble' feat. marian dacal ... but youtube doesn't have a video of it)

okidokk ... i'm all set for sunday + i certainly hope i'm all set for monday. i've prepared something for tomorrow + i think i can leave for mummy-o's place in a bit. woohoo!!! makan time ...

*salivating*

sigh! i had to postpone bangkok. i have to susun sepuluh jari, pinta ampun + maaf dari che tiena. hopefully, with the additional time, we can kompol more money, which should enable us to pack the whole chatuchak home.

assuming ceteris paribus, a bunch of us are leaving for jakarta next friday. woohoo!!!

during my first trip to jakarta, this year, we bumped into this particular bloke, who's seriously love struck, like it's written all over him. he didn't even realise that we were eavesdropping, registering word by word. :op

i later learnt that bunga citra lestari is the romantic interest.

phewwit!!!

he was practically floating in cloud nine, he queued for the wrong flight.

will we bump into him again? it would definitely be interesting, if we do.

i somehow regard jakarta as a romantic city. some of you might have rightly guessed why. i hope the hand above would answer my prayers...

ya Allah ya tuhan ku ...

let us bump into nicholas saputra + let him fall in love with me bekos i'm the only one in the group with no binding contract ... moreover, it is intriguing that we both like the same movie (cinema paradiso) + we both like the same author (haruki murakami) ... very the sesuai, don't you think? ... + the fact that he dreamt to be an architect since small, like wow!

so that with our union, we can bless the world with more cute children.

amin ... amin ya rabbal 'alamin

tabarakAllah hu mein hum

like magic only!


to be honest i don’t believe in ghosts, neither do i believe in hocus pocus.

when i lost an amount of money, which could buy me a pair of good shoes from nine west, someone told us that there’s toyol in the vicinity, i allowed that explanation even though i don’t believe in it, i let everyone believed it because that’s way better than them being suspicious of each other. either way, people would learn from what happened to me + be extra careful with their money.

anyways, recently i had to send a document to a hardworking someone in rhb islamic bank, circa maghrib. as i was walking towards the lift, i saw a lady in a chiffon like long white dress walking into the lift. i followed behind her and stopped in my track right at the entrance …



errr … there was a strong gust of wind blowing out from the lift shaft



errr … the lift was dark



errr … the lady was not in the lift



ok … i know i consciously saw the lady because i thought to myself, what’s her problem pakai flowwy dress like that to an office and then she disappeared … is david blaine in malaysia?
