Max Riders or Masked Riders!!!

I'm going back to KL on the fifteen, last saturday call Abang We and Abang Chik, and asked them what they want as presents.. Abang We said he wants HotWheel track.. WHAT?? Didn't I bought u one last time, mahal plak tu, dengan kereta-kereta lagi.. bayangkan kalau satu empat ringgit, sorang dapat tige keta and ada berapa orang EMpat orang... bengkok.. and what happen, I jumpa one piece of the track kat luar and entah mana-mana lagi.. no way man..

Then he said (what I heard la) Max Rider card la... which i don't know anything about, he said his friend bought it from Jaya Jusco for only RM12 sth.. then I said ok... Abang Chik wants GUESS WHAT!! new game for gameboy... mak aiii mintak maap.. too expensive... And being clever he said.. ok laaa I want new game for the playstation, tapi 3 games.. Mak adik bought tiga games for RM15.. see he will dapat more than abang we, but of course playstation they all main sama-sama..

Budak-budak ni, tak boleh harap.. belila benda mahal mana.. semuanya punah..Baik aku bawak pergi zoo tengok badan and monyet. but then they always complaint that Mak Ila tak de idea lagi zoo zoo zoo. Nak bawak Time Square and Petroscience.. mahal, lagipun dah bawak them twice to Time Square and Petrosains.

Back to max riders card.. penat aku pi Parkson and also toys'rus ... tak jumpa because i was looking for trading card. and i did not asked around la what it is.. Only now i know he wants MASKED RIDERS trading card.. now kena cari balik, else balik nanti pi Jaya Jusco la cari.. So after this Bukit Jambul la to look for the PS II game..

Searching for Soul Mate

An article on MSN about soul mate... titled Are you destined to find true love…or is true love simply hard work? I copy and paste the first page of the article below.

I believe there's a soulmate mate or even more for each of us. How do you define soul mate? someone who understands you? someone who loves you unconditionally? someone who has everything he can gives you? someone who are at the same wave length with you? To each of us, these criteria are different .. to me He is someone who completes me.. hahaha

But either our journey to find him or her take a bit longer and when we are tired of this searching and looking, we settled for second best or even threw in the towel....

The article .. for Lifetimetv.com
We all want to find that special someone with whom we share an intensely deep connection…that person we just know is the "one." We all want to find our Prince Charming.

But do you believe that somewhere out there, there is someone for everyone? Or do you believe that the soul-mate is just a myth fit for romantics unwilling to commit to the work of a relationship?

We spoke to three happily partnered women about how they each found their other half and, after everything, whether they believe in such a thing as a soul mate.

Carol: "No way!"
Meet Carol, happily hitched for over twenty years, who says no to the soul mate debate. She adores her husband, but doesn’t buy the idea of a pre-ordained mystical connection between them.

Amanda: "I found mine."
Amanda’s husband changed her mind. She says she didn’t believe in soul mates until she was bowled over by their deep and immediate bond.

Valerie: "I've had a few."
Valerie’s husband is the "one." But so is her best friend. They both meet her needs for intimate connection in very different ways. Valerie believes there is just more than one kind of relationship out there and no one is limited to just one soul mate.

Monkey sees, Monkey do!!!

How you deal with rude kids? Will you treat them as you treat adults?

These kids will be adult themselves soon, and yet they haven't learned some manners at home if not at school. Whose to blame? Parent, siblings, friends, teachers or the kid themselves? Do kids see people around them being rude, and feel this is an acceptable behaviour. A case of monkey see, monkey do.. Its ok when mom scold the maid, so its ok that i scold the maid too!!! Its ok when dad being rude to the driver, ahha I can be rude too, its normal. its acceptable. This not to say, that only rich kids are rude ...

Even pets can be trained? Why can't we teach kids to have manners.

"Beethoven" .. Ludwig not the dog "Beethoven"

What can I say! iIt is beautiful!

Last night attend The Orchestra Academy of the Berlin Philharmonicd, with Putry. Last minute thing, as Chor got tickets from someone who cannot make it, and she too cannot make it... And as choice of partner (Putry je available)I had no choice hehehe as long weekend, all the gang has make plan and gone back to their hometown.

Back to the Orchestra .. 14 pieces assemble playing the familiar Beethoven, Strauss, Bhrams, Verdi and more .. and they are very talented bunch of people.. Compared to MPO (based on few shows of MPO that I attended at the Philharmonic at the twin tower... shame shame shame...)did not sound as good. At Dewan Sri Penang, without the latest sound systems, The Orchestra Academy sounds canggih already... A bit sad as there is no standing ovation for them..... they deserve a standing ovation, but then maybe the Penang crowds has lost their desire to stands.. the clappings are LOUD!!! hmmmm

what were played ..
L. v. Beethoven - Ouvertuere to "egmont"
F. M, Bartholdy - Symphony no IV, Andante
F. Liszt - Liebestraum III
