still thinking about what to do and what to sing..

The Lonely lyrics - Christina Perri

Christina Perri - The Lonely

2am; where do I begin,
Crying off my face again.
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed.

I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.

Too afraid to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night.
But the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me til I fall asleep.

I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

Dancing slowly in an empty room,
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.

Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely.

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.

Lailatul Qadar – Kris Dayanti

Ijinkan menangis memohon pengampunanMu
Di malam barokah penuh sinar dan cahayaMu
Di mana malaikat Kau utus turun menaburi langit
Dan merasuki jiwa yang bersih oleh lapar dahaga Ramadhan

Ku bersujud berdo’a serah diri pada illahi

Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Aku hanya fakir di hadapanMu ya Allah

Di bulan suci ini ku pasrahkan segala yang ku lakukan
Semua amal ibadah dan kekuatan

Ku bersujud berdo’a serah diri pada illahi

Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Sinari diriku dengan cahayaMu ya Allah

Ku bersujud berdo’a serah diri pada illahi
Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Lailatul Qadar mulyanya seribu bulan
Ku mohon ampunanMu ya Allah
Ku mohon ampunanMu

A toast for retiring colleague

Thanks seems  like such short, simple word. It’s not much to describe our appreciation of everything you’ve contributed here. Our appreciation of ur upbeat attitude. Our dependay on your advice-giving. Our notice of your listening nature during the times we shared the good and the bad. Yes, as short, simple and inadequate as Thanks sounds, I want to say it anyway from the bottom of my heart, Thanks. Our best as you go.

This is both sad and happy time. Happy because you going to have time to enjoy yourself. Sad because we hate to say goodbye to a dear friend and colleague.

Lirik Jagalah Diri - Jaclyn Victor

My new favorite song, very in love with this song.

Jagalah Diri – Jaclyn Victor

Mata kau berhenti menangis
Jemari kesat kan pipi
Hati cukuplah dirasuk sedih
Kerana tiada kan kembali

Takdir mengubah hubungan ia
Dia padam dari jaga
Bicara hanyalah dalam doa
Yang dipanjat pada yang Esa

Ya Tuhanku
Jagalah diri ini menempuh
Hidup sepi tabah menerima takdir

Ya Tuhanku
Ketemukanlah kami berdua nanti
Hingga itu ku mohon Kau
Jagalah dirinya

Jiwa walaupun terpisah jua
Selalu pergi dengan-Nya
Sisa yang masih ada di sini
Ku bertaut ke nafas terakhir

Ya Tuhanku
Jagalah diri ini menempuh
Hidup sepi tabah menerima takdir

Ya Tuhanku
Ketemukanlah kami berdua nanti
Hingga itu ku mohon Kau
Jagalah dirinya

Hingga itu ku mohon Kau
Jagalah dirinya
Jagalah dirinya

Pantun / malay poem

Pantun merupakan puisi Melayu lama yang membuktikan keprihatinan masyarakat silam terhadap alam dan budaya hidup serta kehalusan budi. Budaya hidup masyarakat Melayu tidak hanya berkisar mengenai rasa diri seperti kasih sayang, sedih pilu, ratap duka tetapi juga termasuk aspek-aspek sindiran, kiasan, kecintaan kepada tanah air dan lain-lain. Semuanya itu dalam bentuk pemikiran tersusun dan ungkapan indah melalui rangkap-rangkap pantun yang bukan sahaja menggambarkan perasaan tetapi penampilan pantun itu sendiri begitu menarik perhatian.

Walaupun masyarakat Melayu silam jarang berkebolehan menulis, mereka mengeluarkan kata-kata pantun dengan begitu indah dengan pel­bagai maksud yang tersirat. Mereka berupaya berbalas-balas pantun di antara satu sama lain di pelbagai majlis kenduri, meminang dan berhibur seperti Joget Lambak dan Dondang Sayang. Malah Joget Lambak dan Dondang Sayang sangat sinonim dengan Negeri Melaka.

Contoh-contoh pantun:

Pokok hutan si pokok jati
ditebang orang dibuat bangsal
Sungguh pun tebal sayang di hati
fikirlah dulu sebelum menyesal

Naik perahu mudik ke hilir
singah sebentar di bukit Jawa
Telah ku renung telah ku fikir
tuan juga pilihan jiwa

Melaka masyhur negerinya satu
tempat budaya sejarah berseni
Dirimu jua sayang yang satu
tapi kenapa hatiku selemah ini

Wayang menora di atas panggung
wira berperang guna cemati
Kalau begini derita yang ku tanggung
dari hidup baik ku mati

Asah parang pegang di hulu
ulunya nangka ukiran selama
Ingatlah tuan sepurnama lalu
riangnya kita bak rama-rama

To have a friend like you

TO HAVE A FRIEND LIKE YOU

I feel so lucky to know I have someone in my life like you,

someone who I can tell anything to.  You make the tough times

so much easier.  You always seem to be able to put a smile on

my face, and you're always there to catch my tears.  I know that

even though we have had our tough times, we will always be friends

and I know that whenever I am in trouble you're there to help me out.

So for all the times you have been there for me and for all the

moments we have shared, know I am grateful for every single

one and will always appreciate every little thing you do.  And I

will try my hardest to do the same for you, because a good friend

like you deserves nothing but the best that friendship

could bring, because that is exactly what you have done for me!!!

61 easy ways to lose weight.. should try it.

61 Easy Ways To Lose Weight

Written by: Chris Mohr, Ph.D., R.D.

A few years ago, one of my friends at Men's Health stepped on the scale and was horrified by the result. He'd somehow managed to pack 20 pounds of flab onto his previously skinny frame. When he looked into the mirror, he saw a fat guy staring back. He decided to make a change, quick.

That day, he gave up his beloved soda. He was only drinking two or three bottles a day, but over the course of six months, he dropped those 20 pounds. It was a small change to his lifestyle -- no big deal, really. And yet, it had a massive impact on his health and his body.

My point: Making small decisions each day can result in big-time fat loss.


Below are dozens of simple ways to lose weight. Start with one -- today! -- and watch the weight begin to melt away. Trust me, this is going to be easier than you think.



1. Have a clear goal. It should be one that anyone in the world can measure and understand.

2. Drink tea. Research suggests that those who drink tea -- black, green, or white, as long as it’s from real tea versus herbal tea -- have lower BMIs and less body fat than those who don’t consume tea.

3. Eat cayenne pepper. A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that when compared to placebo, capsaicin -- the active ingredient in cayenne -- increased fat burning.

4. Decrease/eliminate processed carbs. They do nothing for you outside of creating a favorable environment for gaining fat.

5. Eat more veggies. They fill you up, without providing many calories. Just avoid the high-calorie dressings.

6. Eat more fruit. No one ever gained weight from eating more fruit. And that includes the so-called "high sugar" fruits like bananas and melons.

7. Lift weights. Heavy weights. Build more muscle, burn more calories.

8. Cut down rest time between sets. This will keep your heart rate elevated causing an increase in calories burned.

9. Do intervals. Study after study after study continues to show intervals are more effective and time efficient than longer activity performed at a lower intensity.

10. Eat more protein. Replacing refined carbohydrates with lean protein will not only help satiate you, but will also increase your metabolism -- through something called the thermic effect of food.

11. Eat protein more frequently. It's important to also time your intake so you're eating protein regularly throughout the day -- not just in one lump sum, like most do at dinner. Every meal and snack should include some protein.

12. Supplement with fish oil. A study published in Lipids fed mice diets enhanced EPA and DHA -- a.k.a. fish oil. The researchers learned that the mice fed diets higher in omega-3 fats had significantly less accumulation of body fat. Other studies have shown similar results.

13. Do full body exercises. Think: Squats, deadlifts, chin-ups, and push-ups. You'll get more bang for your buck out of each workout.

14. Cycle your carb intake based on your activity level. Sure, carbs are important. But on the days you don't work out, you simply don't need as many compared to the days you exercise hard. Rule of thumb: The more active you are, the more carbs you can eat, and vice versa.

15. Start your meals with a salad. Salad will provide some bulk to help fill you up -- so that you eat less calories overall.

16. Don't forget the fiber. Think of fiber like a sponge; it absorbs water and makes you feel full.

17. Drink water. Professor Dr. Brenda Davy and her Team from Virginia Tech University found that giving people 2 cups of water before each meal resulted in greater weight loss after 12 weeks. The reason? It helps fill you up.

18. Add beans to your salads. It's a nice way to add some additional fiber, protein and healthy carbs.

19. Replace one meal a day with a large salad and lean protein. This is a simple way to instantly improve your diet.

20. Keep a food journal. There's no better way to track what you're putting in your mouth.

21. Watch your portions. Avoid the buffet line and never supersize. Instead make sure you're following what the nutrition label recommends for a serving.

22. Switch to calorie-free drinks. All calories count, whether they're liquid or solid. So unless it's low-fat milk, opt for tea or water. Or something I was introduced to in the Netherlands -- large bunches of mint, lemon and hot water.

23. Weigh yourself. Studies show daily weigh-ins help enhance weight loss efforts. Don't live and die by the number. And of course a scale doesn’t decipher between fat and lean body mass, but it can still be of benefit to keep things "in check."

24. Eat whole eggs. Daily. A study published a couple years ago showed that those who ate whole eggs versus a bagel for breakfast ate less at the next meal. A similar study showed eating whole eggs increases HDL (good) cholesterol.

25. Eat breakfast. A review published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that those who eat breakfast are more successful with long-term weight maintenance. Other research has shown the same for weight loss. Grab hardboiled eggs, scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, a piece of fruit and handful of nuts, or make a smoothie. It doesn't have to be fancy.

26. Eat the bulk of your meals in the A.M. Then eat progressively less throughout the day. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that eating most of your calories earlier in the day positively influences weight changes.

27. To burn more calories, stay upright. This means not sitting in front of a computer, TV, phone, etc., all day. Stand and you'll burn more and be more productive. This could even save your life.

28. Use the stairs. That's right: Skip the escalator and elevator. This won't make or break success, but every little bit helps. So get in all the movement you can.

29. Eat low-energy, dense foods. These are foods that are high in water and lower in calories, such as fruit, veggies, soups, and salads. Studies at Penn State University have showed that the inclusion of these foods helps individuals eat less total calories overall.

30. Don't grocery shop hungry. If you do, you'll buy everything in the aisle -- instead of sticking to your list. And most of the time, the foods you buy when hungry will be the kinds that sabotage your weight loss efforts.

31. Replace side dishes with steamed veggies. Restaurants will often allow you to substitute the fries or chips with steamed veggies. All you have to do is ask.

32. Bake, don't fry.

33. Use the fat-burner in your backyard: Your grill.

34. Order dressing on the side. But here's the bigger secret: Dip your fork in dressing, and then in the salad. This saves a ton more dressing than if one was to order it on the side, and the pour the entire cup on the salad anyway. Fewer calories equal less weight.

35. In the airport: Carry your luggage, don't roll it. Again, not a deal breaker in terms of success -- just another way to increase energy expenditure.

36. Skip the "Venti lattes" and opt for plain coffee. (Or better yet, tea.) Those extra large "designer" coffees can pack a belly-inflating 500 or more calories per serving!

37. Embrace oats. Plain rolled oats will help fill you up more than the high sugar breakfast counterparts. Moreover, one serving provides a lot less calories than the sugar coated alternatives.

38. Fidget. A study published in the journal Science showed that those who fidgeted more often -- for example, changed their posture frequently -- weighed less than those who didn't. This extra movement was termed NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis).

39. Laugh often. A study presented at the European Congress on Obesity found those who laughed hard for approximately 10 to 15 minutes each day burned an additional 10 to 40 calories/day. Multiply that by 365 and those calories can add up!

40. Leave something on your plate at the end of the meal. Every little bit counts.

41. When out to eat, split a meal. The portions are usually big enough to feed a family.

42. Skip dessert.

43. Don't socialize around the food tables at parties. You're more
likely to munch mindlessly, even though you may not be hungry.

44. Don't eat your kid's leftovers. Every little bit of food adds up, including what we call "BLTs" (bites, licks and tastes).

45. Keep chips, dips, and other high fat junk foods out of the house. It's not about willpower; it's about being realistic.

46. If you have a dog, take him for a walk. It's better for both him and you than just letting him out the back. (Bonus: He'll love you even more!)

47. If you don't have a pet, offer to walk a neighbor's dog. Make friends; lose weight.

48. Use smaller plates and bowls. There will be less room for you to fill up and it makes less food seems like more.

49. Skip buffets. It's a foregone conclusion: If you don't, you'll feel like you have to get your money's worth and overeat.

50. Slow down. It takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes for your stomach to sense it's full. If you wolf down your food like a starving dog, you'll likely out-eat your hunger.

51. Decrease your food intake by 100 calories per day. Theoretically this translates to losing nearly one pound per month (1 lb = 3,500 calories) -- with hardly any effort.

52. Buy a pedometer and accumulate at least 10,000 steps each day.

53. When possible, walk or bike to do your errands.

54. Don't buy in bulk. The more that is there, the more that you'll eat.

55. Plan ahead. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

56. Keep some healthy snacks -- like nuts -- in your glove compartment so you're prepared at all times.

57. Take before pictures.

58. Get new friends. If your friends prefer pizza, wings, nachos and beer on a regular basis, find one's who are like-minded and want to be healthy. Research has suggested that friends enhance (or can hurt) success.

59. Put yourself first. Many people (women in particular) put everyone else ahead of themselves and let their health fall by the side.

60. Remember: It's not all or nothing. If you fall off the bandwagon, jump right back on. Don't let yourself continue to fall until all progress has been lost.

61. Wake up early to exercise. You're more likely to get it done if you don’t wait until after work.

'I've Learned' by Omer Washington

In combing through the pages, I came across a short story written by
an American called Omer Washington. There is not much information

on him but the title of his story is I've Learned.

Omer says:
"I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is
be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
"I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't
care back.
"I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds
to destroy it.
"I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but whom you
have in your life that counts.
"I've learned that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes; after
that, you'd better know something.
"I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others
can do, but to the best you can do.
"I've learned that it's not what happens to people, it's what they do
about it.
"I've learned that no matter how thinly you slice it, there are always
two sides.
"I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving
words. It may be the last time you'll see them.
"I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
"I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
"I've learned that there are people who love you dearly but just don't
know how to show it.
"I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be
angry but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
"I've learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the
longest distance and I've learned that the same goes for true love.
"I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to
hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
"I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others;
sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
"I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world
doesn't stop for your grief.
"I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they
don't love each other, and just because they don't argue, it doesn't
mean they do.
"I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of
his actions. I've learned that two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.
"I've learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest
with themselves get further in life.
"I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours and
I've learned that when a friend cries out to you, you will find the
strength to help.
"I've learned that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.
"I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken
from you too soon.
"I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line
between being nice and not hurting people's feelings, and standing up
for what you believe.
"I've learned to love and to be loved.
"I've learned."
Wouldn't it really be something if we could all say that?
