Dynamite - Taio Cruz

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO!
Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO!
Baby, let's go!

I came to dance, dance, dance, dance

'Cause that's my, plans, plans, plans, plans

Brands, brands, brands, brands
Give me space for both my hands, hands, hands, hands
Ye, ye
Cause it goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on

Yeah!

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO!
Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO!
Baby, let's go!

'Cause we gon' rock this club
We gon' go all night
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!
'Cause I told you once
Now I told you twice
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!

I came to move, move, move, move
Get out the way me and my crew, crew, crew, crew
I'm in the club so I'm gonna do, do, do, do
Just what the fuck, came here to do, do, do, do

Ye, ye

Cause it goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on

Yeah!

I'm gonna be the last one landing
'Cause I, I, I Believe it
And I, I, I
I just want it all, I just want it all
I'm gonna put my hands in the air
Hands in the air
Put your hands in the air

Random thoughts

Have you ever had this un-avoidable yet annoying association or phenomena with something/someone/some event in your life for a stretch of time?  


I don't know why, each time I go to the bank, in my case, KK Maybank in particular, the security van will be there doing their jobs, with a whole load of people waiting in line outside, trying to get in.


After a few encounters in the evening, I tried going after my yoga classes and dinner (like after 2 hours), which would mean that it will be pretty late, yet I would still meet the van outside the bank. It's like a curse, you know what I mean? It's as if they purposely adjust their timing to coincide with mine, and that whatever time I decide to go, hey they will be there like a person waiting for it's best friend.


This has been going on for many years now. If anyone of you would like to meet the security van outside Maybank, you just need to go with me. ST knows that and he's had numerous encounters with it. And this happens only after 6 pm.


The reason why I try my utmost to avoid it is because I feel extremely uncomfortable standing anywhere around there (sometimes inside the bank itself waiting for my turn at the ATM machine), while the guards walk around with their intimidating machine guns. And while waiting, all sorts of wild imaginations will be running inside that head of mine, of robbers rushing into the premise, taking us all into hostage, gunfires flying everywhere and all that, and then I won't be able to see my 2 furballs again.. +___+


Yesterday, I rushed out to do a few chores around 6 pm. At 7 pm, I dropped by the bank forgetting all about the phenomena. And true enough, from far, I could see there was a large crowd outside the premise, as the security guards were doing their stuffs inside, hence, no one was permitted to go in. I waited patiently for about 2 minutes and decided to go back after completing my other stuffs and dinner.


I went back like 1 1/2 hour later, and guess what.....!?!?! The van was still there.....!!!


Someone is trying to test my patience, I tell ya! Hmmpph..!!

Mom knows best – Sit up straight

                                              Picture taken from here

It’s natural for most people to slouch a little when you sit, especially when you’re feeling tired and lazy. Slouching for hours in front of the computer or while you’re studying or doing your homework is the worst, as it could affect your health.

Benefits of sitting up straight

1) Good and proper posture makes you look thinner, taller and more confident

2) It can also psychologically help us to think positively too

3) Less muscle strain and prevention of hunch back and other posture related illness in the long run

4) Minimize neck and back problem as you get older

Always be mindful, about how you sit.

Sit up straight, pull your shoulders to the back, push your lower back forward. Lengthen your spine and neck as if someone is pulling your hair up towards the ceiling. 

Looking from the side, your back should not be in a curve, from shoulder down to lower back. It should be in a straight line.

                                                                Picture taken from here

Once you get used to sitting this way, you will have your mom/teachers to thank for, for your posture is the window to your spine.

My dream car for now

I am a very simple person. It's the Nissan March.. :-D

                                         Picture taken from here



The Nissan March was the first car that I owned when I first came out to work (of course, it's a second hand one lah..). My brother helped me to get a second hand one (that time it didn't look as nice as this, needless to say) so that I can go and bang it and put a dent anywhere on the car, and it won't hurt. I just got my driving license, you see.


That was a good choice, coz whenever someone hit my car or when I hit someone's back side (which was quite often, since I day dream a lot even while driving), the other person's car always ends up the one badly dented while mine didn't look like it was involved in the accident at all. It's a truly good one for banging people's car. *wink*


I totally love it. Now with the new design, I love it even more..! I think it's a car with character.. :-D

The many different colors that they have now, but somehow I like the pink one.

Of course, I love this one the best, if the weather permits it here. Well, already said it's a dream car mah..

At one point of time, I was dreaming of owning a Fiat Multipla. Yeah, you heard right!


You know why? Coz each time I see one that passes by, I will only see the cute back side, which looks like this...

My fascination with it went on for sometime, coz I kept seeing the back.


When I told ST about it, he nearly fainted. Until one day, he pointed out the car to me from the front and I saw the horrible design. That was the day I changed my mind.. ;-)


Here, this is how it looks, for those who has no clue like me..

But the car is extremely spacious inside. We took one of this in Europe, from the hotel to the airport, and it's really high. 


Oh well, guess it will have to be Nissan March for now.

Hey, check this out - 
1) Five facts about me
2) Confession
3) What's up, Doc?

Sup tulang & ulam, anyone?

                       Feel free to click on any picture for a clearer view

Few weeks back, ST and I had lunch at a restaurant in Sunway and we enjoyed ourselves so tremendously I felt that I have to showcase the outlet here in order to do justice to the restaurant.

Last week, we went back there for lunch again, and this time, I got ST to ask the owner for permission to take pictures of the food. To my utmost surprise, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful and even got the staffs or other stall operators to move aside to accommodate my quick “little informal photo session”.

Still, it wasn’t easy, coz customers kept coming, and I felt awkward trying not to get into their way. We were there earlier this time, hence, not all the dishes were out, but the customers had already started spilling in.

The sambal chilies, oooh how I love them..

The ulam, ST’s favorite.. The variety is not terror huge but it's still there if we want some. I mean, how much can we actually eat in one sitting?

Curry beef and mutton

All the seasoned fish & chicken

While I was busy snapping away, ST started helping himself to the food, make me "kan cheong" only .. !@#$%?#!

This is ST's favorite fish dish which he dived into..

This was what I came for... the soup...!!! 

Click on the pix above for a clearer view. Need to explain something here... See the inside of the bone? The lady said we can order it, poke a straw inside and suck the juice out. I stood there with my mouth open for a while, trying to imagine someone doing that (of course, won't be me la). Was thinking of getting ST to do it.. :-D


These are ALL the stuffs/ingredients that the stall owner scoops into the soup, when you order mee or mee hoon soup (below).

And these too, they're different parts of meat that the stall owner peels and throws in.

And the end result...? Waaalaaa.....!!!

My noodle soup for lunch (above), accompanied by the must have - veggies!


The burst of flavors from all the spices and the "sup tulang" was in-describable.. (is there such a word ah..?)

This is my fav sambal..

And these are some of the dishes that I managed to capture on camera while dodging the oncoming human traffic. The one right below are just veggies..! About 15 different types altogether (not including the ulam).

And what is the name of this restaurant....? 

Am sure some of you has already been there and knows about it.. ;-)


It's next to the Domino's Pizza, facing the LDP highway.


I wanted to take a picture of the friendly shop owner, but becoz the paying "q" was rather long, and he was always busy, I decided not to disturb him any further.
