Sara Bareilles – Love Song

Head under water,
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while.
The breathing gets harder, even I know that.

You made room for me but it’s too soon to see,
If I’m happy in your hands.
I’m unusually hard to hold on to.

Blank stares at blank pages.
No easy way to say this.
You mean well, but you make this hard on me.

I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one, you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.
Today.

I learned the hard way,
That they all say things you want to hear.
My heavy heart sinks deep down under you,
And your twisted words, your help just hurts.
You are not what I thought you were.
Hello to high and dry.

Convinced me to please you.
Made me think that I need this too.
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.

I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one, you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.

Promise me you’ll leave the light on,
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone.
‘Cause I believe there’s a way you can love me because I say,

I won’t write you a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this.
Is that why you wanted a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If your heart is nowhere in it,
I don’t want it for a minute.
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there’s a reason to,
Write you a love song today.
Today.

*sigh*

each and every strand of my hair has a mind of their own – so selfish, they refuse to be considerate and tolerate with one another. each and every one of them wants to go their own way. each and every one of them wants to have their own look. there is a strand who likes to be extremely curly, there is a strand that chose to be so thin and transparent, there are a few strands who likes to fight with each other they end up tangled, there is one strand that thought it is funny to break into several ‘branches’ – trust me, this one has a serious split personality problem. sometimes it can even have like 14 ‘branches’ – well, not funny, ok? yes, i counted them. some of them are only babies, they stand out in the crowds, i am just afraid the sparrows will find them too comfortable and turn them into their nests and lay eggs in them. then there are some who went for plastic surgery to ‘whiten’ their skin – mind you, they are not even friends.

i have tried so hard to get them to work with each other, but they just wouldn’t listen. they are afraid of the shampoo girl at Julia’s though… they will behave, but after a few days, they will start to wander on their own again.

i don’t wear make-ups

not even lipsticks

so do you realize that the hair is suppose to play a very important role on a person like me?

*sigh*

One Republic – Stop & Stare

This town is colder now, I think it’s sick of us
It’s time to make our move, I’m shakin off the rust
I’ve got my heart set on anywhere but here
I’m staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel…
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They’re tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could…
Steady feet, don’t fail me now
Gonna run till you can’t walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I’m standing down…

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, you don’t need

What you need, what you need…

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be
Oh, do you see what I see…

More CDs

i think, now i’m addicted to CD.

since trying on the CD from joyce – well, of course xavier was the one who use it – i could not stop thinking about it. i was so disappointed the next day coz the one and only CD is not yet dry, had to use disposable.

yesterday, i spent my day at the office browsing, reading and chatting with my friends through ym about CDs instead of doing what i should be doing – my boss is not going to be happy reading this. eh, but i finished my job already what… my friend told me that ezmotherhood is currently having Drybees AIO Hybrid on sale. true enough, they’re selling it for RM60, normal price is about RM67. My friend and i decided to buy them for our DS. we combined shipping so, save on shipping cost some more. Ezmotherhood is so cekap, the package arrived this morning! the fastest shipping i’ve ever had since i started shopping online. thanks a lot ezmotherhood… love the CD very much!

Drybees AIO Hybrids from eZ Motherhood

back to yesterday, the more i read about CD, the more tempted i am to buy. finally, i gave in to the temptation and drag joyce with me to miabambina‘s house. mcm tidak sabar-sabar bah… but i hv my reasons la juga.

  1. I’ll be going to Labuan next week so, my friend in Labuan can kirim. that means, i only have this week to do the (CD) shopping.
  2. i dunno where miabambina’s house is so, i have to go with Joyce. Joyce is now on her final week of pregnancy so, i’m just afraid if i didnt go A.S.A.P, nanti tidak sempat heheh… (baru notice banyak ‘so’)

i already listed out all the things i wanted to buy and so as my (Labuan) friend so that we wont waste time to pilih-pilih again at miabambina’s. i didn’t know that CD shopping is so fulfilling… miabambina’s house is like a CD haven! lots and lots of CDs…  nasib baik peruntukan tidak mengizinkan.

so! (so lagi) these are the stuff i bought, my first batch of CDs – not that i’m going to add like a dozen more. buying all these pun somebody is already umm… not happy. not me, not my CD crazy friends.

  1. GAD hemp diaper doubler
  2. GAD onesize HEMP insert

  5. Kissaluvs COLORS! fitted size 2 in Lime Green
  6. Thirsties Periwinkle diaper cover
  7. Bummis super snaps
  8. Drybees pocket diaper Cool Water

these are my friend’s stuff…

and also a thank you gift from miabambina

Diaper Rash Salve.

Wah… yesterday (and also this morning), i was a very happy mommy – still is!

Books and CD

Jnr went outstation to KL last week (for the whole week) and he bought these for me…

IMG_2157

the Sophie Kinsella in hard cover lagi tu… jangan marahhh… so happy! – but dunno when will i have the time to read. brought Remember Me to work today, hopefully can read during lunch break.

And…

i also receive a CD set from my very good friend, mommy-to-be Joyce. she’s a CD addict and thanks to her addiction, i (well, c xavier lah bah) got one set too… it is actually an advance birthday present from Aunty Joyce. Xavier will be 1 yr old on 30th March.

so… this is the CD set… aiya… bukan Compact Disc lah u idiot! Cloth Diaper bah… havent you heard about this new diapering wonder? where have you been???

IMG_2159

these are my – ok, not me, xavier’s first CD set. the blue on top of the orange is a diaper cover, the orange color is a fitted diaper and the blue cloth oh the left of the fitted diaper is (if i’m not mistaken) microfleece liner.

if you’re using fitted diaper, you need a diaper cover to put over them coz fitted diaper is not waterproof. and the microfleece liner is for dry-feeling…

Si Joyce expert sudah ni kalau pasal CD. i’m still trying to get a hang of it, all the different types of CDs and the terms, the brands… very interesting! the only thing is, how come i never heard of CD last year? i could have saved a lot on disposable diapers. it’s kinda too late for me to start CDing my xavier coz in a few months time, i’m going to potty-train him already… anyhow, i can still CD him at night, kan? he’s quite a heavy-wetter bah. recently, he need at least two diaper change at night… last night mcm ok juga lah… he slept from 11:00 p.m – 6:00 a.m. dunno whether that’s because of the CD… but tonight, will try the CD again – if kering today lah.. heheh…

so, here are some pics taken with CD in action

I forgot the most important part of all…

Ellone & Xavier : THANK YOU, AUNTY JOYCE!!!

My Top 6 Guys

who i hope/think will make it to the American Idol Top 12.

1. Michael Johns  – Definitely! my personal favourite
2. David Archuleta  – Young and very talented. Such amazing voice, gave me goosebumps when he sang ‘Imagine’ the other day
3. Jason Castro – Talented – with or without the guitar. beautiful pair of eyes i’ve ever seen…
4. David Hernandez – Watch out for this one, he has an amazing voice too!
5. David Cook – Based on his performance last night
6. Danny Noriega or Chikezie  – both have great voice but Danny’s attitude and the ‘wiggling’ is not that appealing while chikezie… i don’t know…i think he’s just OK

Did you notice? Danny Noriega looks a little bit like Jessica Alba. maybe it’s the lips? or the shape of their face? the eyes?

at 1st, i thought it was just me, that i was the only one who noticed, but try googling "Danny Noriega","Jessica Alba", you’d be surprised to see that there are like 17000++ hits. This blog even posted Noriega’s & Alba’s photo for comparison. seriously, they could have been mistaken as twins!

maybe it’s the chin… or the cheek bones…

Cicak Cicak Ding Ding Ding

putting xavier to bed isn’t always easy. we had to rock him in the hammock while singing the ABC song and mind you, ABC song doesn’t always work. so we had to sing any other song yang sewaktu dengannya. after he fell asleep, we had to move him to the bed, otherwise he would try to turn and when he realize that he couldn’t, that’s when he will wake-up and wail like crazy.

so, last night, i was rocking him and had to sing a lot of kids’ songs coz the ABC was just not working. ellone sat by my side, singing along with me. there was this one song that goes

cicak cicak di dinding
diam diam merayap
datang seekor nyamuk
Ngap! Lalu ditangkap

i sang that one too, a few times…

and then i felt tired singing the song over and over again, decided to get creative heheh… but ellone didn’t let me

mimi : cicak cicak ding ding ding…
ellone : No mommy, not ding ding ding. Cicak cicak DI DINDING
mimi : ooo… cicak cicak di dinding, diam diam ding ding ding
ellone : No bah mommy…. diam diam ‘MARAYAP’
mimi : diam diam ‘marayap’, datang se-e ding ding ding
ellone : Mommy NOOOO….
mimi : jadi how la?
ellone : mmm… datang itu nyamuk punya ekor
mimi : *trying so hard not to laugh* ooo… datang seekor nyamuk
ellone : *giggle* ekor??? Nyamuk got ekor kah???
mimi : tiada
ellone : so why mommy say ekor?
mimi : ya laa… because the song is already like that… datang seekor nyamuk, Nyap! lalu ding ding ding…
ellone : bukan bah mommyyyy……….. Nyap! lalu ditangkap!
mimi : ooo… sorry…

another Ellone Moment

Gambar Heliza AF5 Tanpa Make-up???

Catchy enough ka the title???

for those who watched the recent Trek Celebrity, you should know that Heliza is back in UMS. not that i’m a fan of Trek Celebrity – oops! pembetulan : Selebriti, but TERnampak bah last weekend so, yes y’all, Heliza is back in UMS.

just now, she came to our office coz she couldn’t login to one of UMS punya applications, the Student Info System. the system was partly maintained by us, and partly by the academic dept. so, my colleague, let’s just call her si Kicik, is the person in charge of the system. Heliza and one of her friends went to see Kicik.

si LAi whispered to me, "Heliza???" i was like "Dunno… Macam" nampak sipi ja bah…

after she left the office, my colleague who sits in front of Kicik said "Kenapa kamu tidak pi begambar sama Heliza tadi?"

Kicik : Mana Heliza?
Us : Yang jumpa ko tadi…
Kicik : Hahhhh ???? Maka, sya cakap ‘ada saya tampal di luar kan?’ (*dengan tone yg mcm marah sikit*) lagi tuuuu…

Bulih-bulih si kicik marah ARTIS

the colleague who sits infront of Kicik went and call Heliza back. Why? To take photo laah… Artis maaaahhhh…

So, here are the photos…
