possible bday present from my mak..
well, all of my close friends would know that i love cats..in fact, i used to have one when i was in college..called her manja..miss her by the way..anyway, back to my mom..so, i was of course, ecstatic!!! i mean, is it possible that my long-live dream will finally come true?? i was feeling that way until i asked her the cost of the persian cat..and that was when i felt like this big, huge rock crashed my heart..wouldnt you if the cost is RM 900++??
i immediately said no..not that i dont want it..i mean, i WANT it..so so bad..but almost rm 1000 for a cat?? that's just ridiculous..my mom of course said that she wouldnt mind buying it for me..but how would that make me feel?? she worked hard for the money, and would i be okay if i knew that she spent it on a cat?? for my freaking birthday?? that would haunt me forever!!
so right now, i honestly dont know what my mom will do..will she buy it?? if she does, i swear i will pay her back when i got my own money someday..if she doesnt..well, i'll buy one for my 40th birthday..hehe..the idea of buying a persian cat really intrigues me..can you imagine how cute a persian cat could be..maybe this will help you..(^_^)
oh how i miss em!!

A Farewell to False Love..
By : Sir Walter Raleigh
Farewell false love, the oracle of lies,
A mortal foe and enemy to rest,
An envious boy, from whom all cares arise,
A bastard vile, a beast with rage possessed,
A way of error, a temple full of treason,
In all effects contrary unto reason.
A poisoned serpent covered all with flowers,
Mother of sighs, and murderer of repose,
A sea of sorrows whence are drawn such showers
As moisture lend to every grief that grows;
A school of guile, a net of deep deceit,
A gilded hook that holds a poisoned bait.
A fortress foiled, which reason did defend,
A siren song, a fever of the mind,
A maze wherein affection finds no end,
A raging cloud that runs before the wind,
A substance like the shadow of the sun,
A goal of grief for which the wisest run.
A quenchless fire, a nurse of trembling fear,
A path that leads to peril and mishap,
A true retreat of sorrow and despair,
An idle boy that sleeps in pleasure's lap,
A deep mistrust of that which certain seems,
A hope of that which reason doubtful deems.
Sith* then thy trains my younger years betrayed,[since]
And for my faith ingratitude I find;
And sith repentance hath my wrongs bewrayed*,[revealed]
Whose course was ever contrary to kind*:[nature]
False love, desire, and beauty frail, adieu.
Dead is the root whence all these fancies grew.

8 tricks for boosting your metabolism..
1.Do Intervals
Mixing in fast-paced intervals raises your metabolic rate higher than doing a steady cardio workout, and will continue to do so up to an hour after you’re done, says Kristin McGee, a trainer and Pilates instructor whose client list includes Tina Fey and Bethenny Frankel. An Australian study also found that women who did intervals while they were biking lost three times as much fat as those who worked out at a steady pace. If you’re a walker, simply walk at your normal pace for 1 to 2 minutes, then speed-walk for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat the sequence 10 to 15 times.
2. Opt for Caffeine
It’s time to hit Starbucks. A study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior shows that coffee drinkers have a 16 percent higher metabolic rate than those who abstain or drink decaf joe, because caffeine increases your heart rate and stimulates your central nervous system. Spread out the cups over your entire day to keep your metabolism running at a boosted rate—just be sure to have your last cup by early afternoon so you can hit the pillow with no problems later on.
3. Add Some Ice
Though the increase is modest, there is some evidence that drinking cold water can cause a slight surge in metabolic rate. Since your body maintains a core temperature around 98.6°F, cold water will be brought to that temperature after being consumed and calories are burned during the warming process. Discovery Health deduced that you can burn up to 70 extra calories a day if you follow the common rule of drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of cold water per day. Need another reason to up your water intake? Researchers at the University of Utah found that participants who drank half of the recommended amount of water per day (four 8-ounce glasses), not only showed signs of dehydration, they also experienced a 2% decrease in calories burned per day.
4. Eat a Big Breakfast
It’s time to nix the oatmeal with skim milk. Instead, start your day with a fatty breakfast, including eggs and even a piece of bacon, suggests Molly Bray, PhD, lead author of a recent study showing that a fat-filled morning meal will jumpstart your metabolism for the day faster than a lowfat, low-calorie breakfast. Another study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who eat 22 to 55 percent of their total calories at breakfast gain 1.7 pounds over four years. That’s not bad considering those who eat 0 to 11 percent of their calories in the morning gain nearly 3 pounds.
5. Drink Green Tea
Not only does green tea contain enough antioxidants to keep colds and the flu at bay, but it also does wonders for your metabolism, according to a study published in the journal Phytomedicine. Researchers found that people who drank the equivalent of three to five cups daily for three months shaved 5 percent off their body weight. Green tea contains ECGC, a plant compound that stimulates your metabolism, says Rania Batayneh, MPH, a nutritionist in private practice in San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, and founder of Essential Nutrition consulting.
6. Don't Skimp on Dairy
Calcium-rich foods and drinks, including milk, yogurt and cheese, increase the rate at which fat turns into waste, says a study by researchers at the University of Copenhagen published in the The Journal of Nutrition. It doesn’t matter what form of dairy product you’re consuming as long as the serving size is adequate (keep it lowfat!)—either a full glass of lowfat milk or 6 ounces of yogurt is perfect. Also, the study noted that you have to actually ingest the calcium in its natural form; supplements don’t work due to differences in the chemical makeup.
7. Build More Muscle
Gaining lean muscle mass boosts your metabolism and makes losing weight much easier, McGee says. If you add just 5 pounds of muscle to your body, you’ll burn up to 150 more calories per day without even working out those muscles. And, you can burn an average of 600 calories per hour during your cardio workout thanks to that extra muscle mass. “Muscle burns more calories than fat does, even at rest, so any strength-training activities to build lean muscle are excellent,” McGee says. The key is to challenge all your muscles and do a full-body strength-training workout, hitting your core, arms, legs, back and chest.
8. Pick Up Heavier Weights
By using heavy weights at a very slow rate—twice as slow as would feel natural—you break down your muscles (you’ll know the weights are heavy enough and the workout slow enough if you start to shake after just a few lifts or squats). Researchers at Wayne State University found that when your body repairs those overworked muscles, it causes your metabolism to increase for up to three days after the workout.

for the bad boys out there..
Behave. You’re too much of a bad boy.
You’re too curious.
I was cheated on at that time,
all because of you.
No fun, no manners.
You, devil, devil, you, you.
You changed one letter (one letter)
of all the girls’ names
in your cellphone.
I can smell the abundance of perfume on you.
Explain to me, (explain to me), who’s it is.
(Hey) That habit, of you meeting girls
without me knowing, still didn’t go away?
Even if you run, it’s obvious.
You better run, run, run, run, run.
I won’t give in, I’ll just kick you.
You better run, run, run, run, run.
Even if you beg me not to leave, I don’t care anymore.
(Hey) I’ll come back even better
and i’ll get revenge. Don’t forget it.
You better run, run, run, run, run.
You’re caught, and i’m angry.
Run, devil, devil, run, run.
Even next to me,
you’re with another girl.
When i’m not here, (not here)
you’re a super playboy.
Raise your chin, and respond to me. (respond to me)
No fun, no manners.
You, devil, devil, you, you.
You better run, run, run, run, run.
I won’t give in, I’ll just kick you.
You better run, run, run, run, run.
Even if you beg me not to leave, I don’t care anymore.
(Hey) I’ll come back even better
and i’ll get revenge. Don’t forget it.
You better run, run, run, run, run.
You’re caught, and i’m angry.
Run, devil, devil, run, run.
No fun, no manners.
Run, devil, devil, run, run.
There’s no one else like me, anywhere.
You made a mistake.
I’m so much better than all of those other girls.
What do you want to do with all that? Do you think you’re that great?
Didn’t I tell you not to play around?
Didn’t I tell you to be good to me until I stopped loving you?
You better run, run, run, run, run.
I won’t give in, I’ll just kick you.
You better run, run, run, run, run.
Even if you beg me not to leave, I don’t care anymore.
(Hey) I’ll come back even better
and i’ll get revenge. Don’t forget it.
You better run, run, run, run, run. (you better run, run, run)
There’s so many guys in this world,
so it doesn’t matter if you’re not there.
Until the day I find a boy that only cares for me,
I’ll wait by myself.

current fav song :: By Myself
d lyrics somehow express exactly how i feel about a guy in 2010..syhh..let it b a secret..but im all okay now..dis song really reminds me of him..n as painful as it is for me to hear it, i cant help but falling in love wit d melody n lyrics..not to mention wit tiffany's beautiful singing voice; who could resist d song..huhu..
here is d official mv for dis song..n the english translation for the lyrics..
please, just pass by pretending like you don't see me
please, don't even give me a glance
in the days that are like the sandy winds
don't give anything to me
folding away my one heart
hiding my one tear
like it's the first time we've seen each other, like we're strangers
just pass by. it has to be like that.
by myself, i say my love, send away my love
in the folds of the lonely accumulated memories, the tears hang
even if you're far away, i hope that you'll be happy
i bury my love deeply within my heart
in the next world, when we are born
then, we'll look at each other face to face
let's be born so that we don't lose weakly in front of fate again
so that i may be a flower in front of you
i'll sing a song for you
as one's girl, as one man's lover
i want to always live by your side
by myself, i say my love, send away my love
in the folds of the lonely accumulated memories, the tears hang
even if you're far away, i hope that you'll be happy
my love, deeply within my heart...
though it hurts, though it will hurt, i will never cry
because there is no such thing as farewell in my love
when this life ends, in the next world, us two
let's love, for sure. let's love, for sure.
us two.
hepy new year..welcome 2011..
