"Sweetest Girl" Acoustic: Wyclef Jean, Niia, & Jerry Wonda

nice and easy-listening isn't it? i like it better than the original one. Niia's voice is also so soothing i can listen to this song over and over again.

enjoy...!

High school she was that girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she’s a 10)
High school she was
That girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she’s a 10)
Never thought she would come and work for the president
Mr. George Washington (where my money at?)
She thought he’d call (where my money at?)
She had a good day, bad day, sunny day, rainy day
All she wanna know is (where my money at?)
Closed legs don’t get fed, go out there and make my bread
All you wanna know is (where my money at?)
She ended up in a road car, bruised up, scarred hard
All you wanna know is (where my money at?)
She thought he’d call (where my money at?)

Cos I’mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Cos I’mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)

Pimpin’ got harder cos, hoes got smarter
On the strip is something they don’t wanna be a part of
Rather be up in the club shakin’ for a thug
For triple times the money and spending it how they wanna
They got they mind on they money, money on they mind
They got they finger on the trigger, hand on the nines
See everyday they feel the struggle, but staying on they grind
And ain’t nobody takin’ from us, and that’s the bottom line
But I know there’s a drop in the block
You move slow
You getting’ pressure from cops
you don’t know not to lay low
Because 25 to life is no joke
To all my real gorillas thuggin’
On top of corners every day strugglin’
All the beautiful women getting’ money
Washin’ them dollar bills like laundry

Cos I’mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Cos I’mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)

She used to be (she used to be the sweetest girl)
She used to be the sweetest girl ever
Now she like sour ameretta
She wears a dress to the T like the letter
And if you make it rain she will be under the weather
She used to run track back in high school
Now she tricks off the track right by school
She takes a loss cos she don’t wanna see her child lose
So respect her, I’ll pay up for the time used
And then she runs to the pastor
And he tells her there will be a new chapter
But she feels no different after
And then she asks him…

Cos I’mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Cos I’mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)

David Cook's Rendition of Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby

i think David Cook is the most outstanding contestant of American Idol right now. he's smart, he sounds good, he plays musical instruments and with all those talents, he looks like a very down to earth person. i personally like the fact that he can do a cover of a song and make it as if it is a brand new song. he has done it again with Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby. if u noticed, Mariah looked a bit worried, wondering what David is going to do with that song.

anyway, see for yourself and let me know what do you think...

now, we're left with only the best... for sure it's going to be tough after this.

what should be done to those sick psycho beasts?

it was on daily express' front page today... the story of the unfortunate abducted girl.

in respect to her and her family, i won't go into detail about her condition - but i think everyone should know that she had been badly brutalized. of course the whole ordeal is very traumatizing and i sincerely hope and pray that she'll have a lot of strength to face the world, coz it will never be the same again for her. she'll need all the support she can have for it will not be an easy journey for her onwards.

i'm really glad they manage to arrest one of the psycho. at least, the tracking of the other one can be much easier.

now, what should be done with these two beasts? one of my acquaintances said that they should be put in public and let all the women throw stones to the psychos' genital.

as i've said in this entry before, the psychos should be tortured painfully until those monsters beg for death!!! and when that monsters finally beg for death, castrate them, and burn them in public, complete with live tv coverage!

Orang Bijak Pandai in the making

when i first saw this blog, i just laugh it off... read and just leave it at that but the more i think about it, the more stupid it becomes and i'm beginning to visualize an ORANG YANG BIJAK PANDAI in the making... a protégée to the kind of ppl i mentioned in this entry emerging. the kind of ppl that is going to add a few more names to their given name and will act like shit to those insignificant ppl in their life, those without the intelligence matching theirs... and what bug me the most is that this one is going to be a very very very FUSSY NARROW-MINDED one i just wish that if he/she happens to be employed here someday, it would be when i've already retired.

but then again, this is what he wanted. he's trying to provoke all of us... for what? the satisfaction perhaps... maybe he/she gets multiple orgasms when ppl get pissed-off by all his/her entries.

if that's the case, then i'd be happy to give you all the orgasms you want. go on... yes, you... i'm about to give it to you it might blow your head off...

i'm not saying this because i'm being defensive, or because i'm on of them... i'm just saying this because i just hate an ORANG YANG BIJAK PANDAI in the making.

just look at his entries, what is he doing? complaining, whining and complaining and whining about this and that and this and that...  (let's just assume the writer is a he lah aa...) i wonder why can't he be content with what he has? maybe he's being brought up in a family where the mother is always complaining and criticizing every single thing that he do. perhaps, every time he gave his mother presents on mother's day or on her birthday, she'll always find something to criticize about the present rather than being thankful that at least ppl are actually doing their very best in trying to please her. or maybe when he tried to clean the house so that his old mother doesn't have bend her back anymore doing housework, instead of a thank you, perhaps the mother will go and have a look at the window panes and will point at one corner and said "how come there are still dust over here?" and when he is trying his very best to show her that he loves her, she just ignore him and assume there's a catch instead.

he's complaining on the MEGA-LAB, did he knows who actually asked for the  500 PCs for students? ask the previous MPP candidates who keep pressing on the issue that there are not enough PCs for students they need like a 1000 PCs. so, being a very loving and generous parents, this university gave them that... and how do the students repay this university? by using the MEGA-LAB to check their friendster laa... watch videos in youtube laa... chat on yahoo messenger laa... book airasia ticket laa...let me tell you, each day, there will only be 2-3 students who are using the PCs for their studies. the rest, hundreds of them use it only for leisure, and some ungrateful students even use them to blog, complain and whine about the MEGA-LAB. did u know that some ppl work their ass off (oops... sorry for the vulgarity of the word - i know ppl in my workplace are reading this - after read get back to work aa...) to make this MEGA-LAB a success you know, some ppl even get screamed at early in the morning, just to provide safety to the PCs. i'm not directly involved, but i am a part of that department so, i do feel the heat when some ppl trashed about how ppl in my department are lazy or  lesu or not doing anything.

but at least, i'll give you credit for recognizing that the MEGA-LAB is actually my dept's projects.

you're also whining on the wireless thingy, them being only in tempat2 yang kurang strategik untuk mahasiswa. Eiiii... wait a minute... i thought they put all the wireless thingy in public area??? how can it not be strategic? ooo... i get it... u want it to be put in a secluded area so that it's easier for you ppl to open porn website aaa.... now i get it... perverts!

about the budget for students activities, i'm not really familiar with the process but so far, i have never heard of students given more than RM1000 for organizing programs like interim or bakti siswa. let  me tell you something. i'm also a part time student and we have organized a program before, for Interim subject and the estimated budget for the program is RM10,000! we still manage to successfully complete our program, and of course, with only RM1000 from the university. no one got more then RM1K. how did we manage to carry-on? ask around for sponsors lah! RM10K mannn... yours is only RM4.5 also have to let the whole world knows? such idiot.

hey, if u're really that smart and intelligent, i dare you. why don't you write a letter to the upper management of all the departments that you have issues with, a proper official letter stating your name and student numbers and stuff and then write all the things you are not satisfied with, like the ones in your blog, and provide a suggestion on how to solve the problems. apparently, from the way you write those stuff, you're indicating that they are not doing their job or they don't know how to do their job properly. you're one of the warga yang prihatin right? then why don't you set them straight. blogging anonymously doesn't do anything much, you know? trust me.

and i also would like to dare you, if you're really smart and intelligent beyond belief, why dont you post all your entries in two language? malay and english. the fact that you're complaining so much about how teruk this place is should mean that you are actually a very high quality student so, i'd personally love to read your entries in english. i have many lecturer readers, you know... they like reading stuff in english so i think you really should do two version of each entries - including the ones you already published.

oh, and by the way... you mentioned somewhere in one of your entries that the employees here are just wasting the students money - well darling,  let me ask u something, are you paying all the fees here by yourself? good for you! then you must be a damn rich kid, maybe you're even a prince. if that's so, deepest apologies *curtsied*. pity the other students who are studying on PTPTN loans - unlike you. then again, taxpayers (like us) do contribute to those loan money if i'm not mistaken...

if you hate this place so much, if you have so many complains, if this place is not going to give you the bachelor degree you wanted, then why don't you quit and leave already? why are you still here? go to a better universities for they will love you unconditionally with all your complaining and whining.

GOD! i should be writing my Final Year Project's chapter 3!

my to-do list:-

1. Finish up my Final Year Project. have to write 5 chapters but hv only done 1 chap so far - introduction. 4 more to go! due : 19th April - this Saturday

2. Attend PTK Seminar/Briefing for three days starting 16th -18th April.

3. Write Literature Review for Academic Exercises Subject. due two wks ago but i hvnt submitted mine yet. lec says still can submit so, hv to finish a.s.a.p

4. A.I group assignment due before final exam so, that's in about 2-3 wks  time.

5. A.I individual assignment, due date same as above.

6. Might have PTK exam on the 23rd Apr so, hv to study

7. Build a web-based address book system for advance software engineering subject. presentation is on the 27th April. Group assignment.

8. study for civilization's final exam which will be held around end of Apr or early May

9. Marketing's group assignment due also b4 final exam.

11. prepare for Academic Exercises presentation which will be held also on 27th Apr.

12. FYP presentation 26th-27th Apr

and all those related to my studies cannot be done during office hour coz i'm supposed to do my office work during office hour, right??

and then besides all the things in my to-do list, i still hv to be a mom when i get back home. spend time with my kids and put them to bed, hopefully as early as possible so that i can start resuming my to-do list. and normally, my kids will only be asleep by 10:00 o'clock. i'd be lucky if they sleep early than that. and normally (again)... i'll be tired by 11:00, but if i really force myself, i can stay up at least until 12:30.

i don't know how am i gonna finish all those assignments and projects in time... berserah kepada takdir saja la.

hubby also will be going outstation to Sandakan starting tomorrow until Friday. how great is that? just when i hv tonnes of datelines to meet.

and there are actually a few other things i'd very much love to do but looks like i won't hv the luxury to do so in the next few weeks - or maybe even months!

1. Continue with my sewing project. i have like 4 projects terbengkalai including two dresses for Ellone.

2. learn to sew my own Baju Kurung. i already cut the pattern, but no time to start on it yet.

3. play Final Fantasy VIII again. this would be my umpteenth attempt in trying to finish playing the game - since about 10 years ago

4. read my 5 fiction books bought quite some time ago.

5. do some proper excercise - coz there are already 3 ppl who thought i'm pregnant

hmm... think that's about it for now.

and u must be wondering why am i still typing this long entry when i have so many things to do?

Cloth Diaper Experiment Result

sorry, i didnt update yesterday. i was busy cd-hunting.

besides, i'm not that sure on the result. the next morning, at about 6:30 a.m, xavier woke up. i quickly checked on him, afraid that the CD has leaked but to my relief, it hasn't. took it of, touch the fleece surface and it's dry. i was like "Eiii??? betul ka tidak ooo..." and then i removed the inserts.

btw, Happy Heiny's One Size comes with 2 microfiber inserts, one large and one small - and i inserted both the other nite . dunno if that's advisable or not but i put the small one on top of the large. now, even with the two inserts, the HH wasn't bulky at all. in fact, xavier looks very comfortable in them. the fleece i tell you... so so so very soft i dont mind rubbing them against my face all day long - of course NOT when they've already been used, u idiot!

ok, back to the experiment.

the outer fleece and the large insert were dry. the small insert was A BIT wet, with only 2 yellowish spots the size of a 50cents coin. i gave another "Betul ka tidak oooooo...."

i think i need to conduct another test on Happy Heiny's One Size Cloth Diaper. who knows, maybe my son pee only once that nite. but i gave 5/5 on the design, fabrics (especially the fleece) and comfortability.

if u hv been following my blog, u should know that i hv also bought Drybees Hybrid AIO from ezmotherhood. last nite, i tested that one. i put it on xavier at about 7:00 p.m and it only leaked at about 6:00 a.m this morning.

to those of you who are still blur on CD, AIO means All-in-One and as the name suggested, it is an all in one diaper, you do not need any additional inserts or cover or whatsoever. BUT, the CD-makers realized that the AIO is not that practical for heavy-wetter so, these brilliant ppl invented Hybrids AIO. Hybrid Diapers provide a pocket opening where you can place inserts for heavy-wetter babies.

for my test last night, i didnt put any insert and still it lasted for about 11 hrs. i dare not rate it yet, still need further testing. like i said before, maybe xavier has switched into light-wetter mode heheh... 4.5/5 for the design, 3.5/5 on the fabrics and 4.5/5 on comfortability tho.

gosh! couldn't believe i can blog forever on CD alone. how nice it would be if this is a payperpost sponsored entry...

Approved by Payperpost

Who? Me? My Blog???

YES!!! That's right... ME!

My blog has been approved by PPP on my 1st attempt! How cool is that? The non-english-speaking's blog was approved on 1st attempt! i couldn't believe this *rub eyes*.

Your Blog Has Been Approved

This is a notification letting you know that your PayPerPost blog, The Voice Within, has been approved and is now available.
You can now take opportunities and write about them on your blog.

*rub eyes again*

i signed-up at 3:11 p.m and the approval email arrived in my mailbox at 6:51 p.m. that means, the approval process has only taken 3hrs & 40 mins. if i had known it would be that easy, i would have signed up long ago.

i always thought my blog would never qualify so to save myself the disappointment, i never tried.

but i don't know what came into me today. maybe because i was bored, i decided to give it a go. after all, it's not like i'll lose anything if i get rejected. then again, i guess lady luck was at my side.

thanks PPP and also thanks to you guys for visiting!

now... let the k'ching sound begins

k'ching k'ching k'ching

my friend's 1st cd experience

i had just checked my friend's blog and she has posted her CD experience.

so, all you mommas out there who still have doubts on CD, you may want to pay a visit to her blog

I'm bored

 

yesterday, spent all day browsing all the CD website and couldn't resist to buy 2 more CDs oh no, i can feel someone's temperature rising... *sorry honey* and i can already picture him saying "u tidak juga kasi pakai xavier pun". i did bah, a few times, just to test the different types of CD i bought recently. and i'm still in testing phase but xavier is always ill lately, maybe because he's teething. keep getting fever and flu every week i'm just afraid it will develop into asthma. he had already been on nebulizer once so, i'm a bit worried. because of his unstable health condition right now, i don't think it's a good idea for me to experiment new things on him just yet.

anyway, i did manage to test the MPB fitted + Bummis Cover, Kissaluvs + Bummis Supersnaps Cover & Drybees Pocket. so far, i like kissaluvs best. it fits xavier snugly and the combination is less bulky. the Drybees Pocket leaked after about 4 hours. or maybe i didnt place the inserts properly coz i noticed the inserts are not fully soaked yet, but the fabrics around the legs made xaviers pants wet.

i have a few more to test, including those i ordered yesterday. after i test all the different types of CDs, i might consider fully CD-ing my son.

and i think because of my intensive CD browsing yesterday, i even dreamt of online CD shopping last night.

errrkkk... an addict symptom?

It's ok to say NO to security guards

have you ever been to a place where you hv to leave any personal identification documents to the security guards in exchange to a temporary visitors pass?

i have.

not once, not twice but many many times i've lost count already. there was this one time when i was working in west msia and my working pass was not ready yet, i had to leave my driving license to the guards in order to get the temporary pass for almost a MONTH. well, i could've gotten my staff pass sooner but they said the passport photo i submitted was 'improper'. i was wearing a sleeveless union jack top in that photo. i didn't quite get what is considered improper in that photo because it can easily be cropped like this

mimi
my driving license photo scanned with poor resolution scanner

so the sleeveless-ness of the shirt should not be an issue

maybe it is improper because i'm wearing union jack shirt?

maybe it is improper because my i rebonded my hair?

and speaking of rebonding, i've seen a few saloons spelling rebonding as REBOUNDING and REBORNDING. wahh... i would really love to re-born my hair ooo... heheh...

maybe it is improper because i didn't smile?

or maybe because i have half eyebrows?

or because my hair was parted in the middle?

woopsy... heheh... i'm off-topic already...

nested off-topic

you know, like nested if-then-else

if ... then{

if... then{

}

else{

}

}

else{

}

o'oh... off-topic - again...

back to my main topic

so, ya... i had recently found out that you can actually say NO to those rules - the asking for personal identification document thingy. here is a letter supposedly signed by KSU KKDN.

Disclaimer : the source of this letter is unverified so, if it happens to be a hoax, DO NOT SUE OR ARREST ME, just let me know nicely and i will kindly delete this entry.
