oh goodness.i seriously sickly badly need some serious help here.

when you want something just so so so,ever so utterly bad.but you know, you dont need it.but u'll juz dig up sum reasons saying you DO need it.and you come up with an alibi,to cover the guilt.then at the same time,ur conscience comes kicking back in for a mild few seconds then the burning want lights up again.persuading your subconcious mind that you indeed DO need it,as if its a matter of life or death.

tell me.tell me,WHAT, tell me what do you do to make it go away??

okay.so heres how it goes,i was pretty complacent with my current phone (sony w995) and i ws just waiting for an iPod touch to join the family in conjunction wif my birthday.but since we're moving and papa's fortuner going away on a never-to-return-again basis, i thought to myself that as a considerate and understanding type of adult,i should wait till the time comes.till i feel less guilty.

but then.

i've been holding up my wait too long and i think it,has lead to a terrible, horrible, indescribable series of tragedic consequences just waiting for its time to fall in front of me one by one.

oh no.i'm mumbling.thats a sign.i do that when i want something BAAAAAD.sighhhhhhhh.

okay.okay.okay.okayy.okay.oh my god *slapsss* okay. *deeeeeeep breaths*

at FIRST,i wasnt impressed by the iphone 4,just normal lah,to me.plus,its bulky.big.i know the battery wont last long,and the camera is only a 5mp.3mp lower than my current camera.

sighh.

spending a week around koreans (each of them using iPhone 4),accompanying my friend for an iPhone lookout, and finally coming to find that my uncle has switched to an iphone 4 and seeing all my cuzzins play angry birds happily has DEFINITELY brought my stand to not buy an iphone to a VERY flimsy,jell-o state.

one fine day, wont it be cloudy with a chance of iphone 4, dropping out from the sky, PLEASE?

goshhhh.i do need help.fine.FINE FINE FINE.*slaps*

as a means to overcome this overpowering drive of desire within me and as a mechanism of habituation(what crap am i talking abt?)

lets cut to the point: here are reasons why i should NOT buy an iphone 4

*meltssss* i am so pro-iTouch.haha.

seeeeee?sooo boxy.its like a pack of cigarettes.aesthetics value = not satisfactory.

here are the side by side tech specs comparison

i'll skip size and weight cuz they differ marginally.BUT, a plus point on iTouch is that its not so boxy,being more thin,curvy and sleek.hahh.thats one perfect solid reason,take that iPhone 4!!

NAAAAAH.I dun need and i phone.

END OF STORY.

yeahhh.i dont need one.i'm convinced(partially)

;)

movie melayu.starring ahmad kamil.eh no.farid kamil.lisa surihani.que haidar.and a few more.

my friends said:

'best gilerrr!'

'ko patot tengok.ak sukaa sangatt'

'it's one of the best malay movies i've ever seen,and i dun mind watching it over and over again.'

bitter truth: I DONT THINK SO.pelik sangat ke aku ni?or maybe when they said 'good' i put my expectations up waaaay too high.i dont watch a lot of malay movies, i only enjoy the few good ones: sepi, pappadom, and sepet.Sepet,especially,changed my whole perception about malay movies.i watchd it during my sem break.a month++ ago.I know its a lil late to write a review.but to those few who feels regretful for not watching, dont.put your regret to a better cause.PLEASE.

so i have to admit,the story line for LBS was interesting,moving. but honestly, freaking predictable.i could've easily guessed how'd the story would go starting from the 30th minute of screening. i mean,i think other people would have been able to fill in the blanks too.and i just think that the whole plot of the story seem to jump from here to there.like,there are these gaps;before one event/conflict resolves,it just gets forgotten and a new one comes in.get it?like no continuation.it'd be better suited for series in my opinion, where they can focus more on these little details.

the gore blood, when lisa surihani had an accident,still reminds me of sirap pekat.like drenching a bucket of sirap pekat over lisa.it didnt look realistic la.it was a head on collision,and there were no smashed glass or crumpled bumper,just suddenly lisa sitting there behind the wheel drenched in sirap pekat.or maybe tomato sauce.and with no scratch/cut/injury/ impact wound, she just,bled away.

the beginning excited me a bit.putting cicak in the heroins' coke.cute way of fate bringing two people together.but then,they instantly bonded and fell in love with stiff conversations.not to mention,the whole script was boring and dead throughout. some actors can make falling in love at first sight sweet,and sorta keeps you believing that it does exist.but lisa and farid?maybe theres not enough on screen chemistry.maybe its the less coherent story outline.or maybe,it could be just me.

one more thing that kept bugging my mind was when azmi,her ex came all the way to her campus to fetch her, and tell her that her mom was ill.like.HELLLLLOOOOOOOO~??!bukannya telefon takde,komputer takde.bukannya takboleh msg,mms,bbm,im,call,skype,ICQ,or other means of communication.why,would you ever need a guy (especially your ex) to tell you that??nampak sangat tak prihatin hal mak sendri tengah sronok sangat becintun sampai nak call mak sndri pon taboleh.huuhhhh.*panas skejap*

saba saba.nak buat ceritalah gamaknye.takpelah,let it be.

sometimes terasa my 'intellectual being challenged'.~quoted from Coach Ridz.hehe.tetibe teringat.sorry coach,pinjam ayat! :P

tapi one improvement was the camera.i think the picture quality was satisfactory.and the way dye capture the events.how the camera and angles were set was really nice.i really liked the part when both of them cycled up to this spot on the hill,and another one when farid had to go to some kampung pedalaman,the clear blue waters was heavenly captured.

at least kan,we're not like those indonesian soap yang after satu event yang mengejutkan will go focusing every characters face for a good 30 seconds,tunjuk riak muka mata terbeliak etc etc.and then lepas complete one round of close up of all the characters,the do another good round of face-focusing.can you imagine?haha.err.no offence la.that IS good.it really accentuates how firm the faces of those actors and actresses are.heee ;D

oh.tapi the ending was pretty sad.but not a twist pun.it was expected.

so overall LBS verdict: another disappointment.>.<

oh yeah another thing.i x agree la why thay have to be so close like this.=/

These darlings are adorable.they arent my favorite flowers.come to think of it,i dont have any favorite flowers,yet.hehe

i usually take HOURS before i buy a new perfume, sniffing each scent every store has to offer until i find the right one.it can be very disappointing sometimes cuz at the end of the day,every scent morphs into the same thing and i end up just picking any one of the bottles,to save my senses from anymore nasal torture.

well this time, nasal torture no more,thanx to papa!love you papa!heee *hearts*

Marc Jacob's Daisy,is no new release. They have a 'sister' fragrance;Lola.A lot of other reviews say that Lola is more adult-ish, far from the age range targetted for Daisy(18-25,yeay i'm in the range!^^) .Daisy scents a slightly sweet tinge,balanced by a very refreshing note,conveying a sort of grassy spring-meadow feel. It lingers long,giving a pleasant smell that just shouts 'heres a young lady ready to charm the world'!

The scent is distinct,nothing i've whiffed before and one more bonus point is that its an EDP,which means=more concentrated and longer lasting.

The base notes include: wild strawberry,violet leaves,ruby red grapefruit,gardenia,violet petals,very sheer jasmine,musk,vanilla and white woods.

No wonder i easily fall in love with this scent,it has vanilla and musk,the two top choices on my list. i have always gone for sweet, fruity,bubblegummy smell,so i'd have to say, this is an intermediate. A minor sweet part-infused with its own fresh and ladylike characteristics

change is constant,and it never hurts to try somethg new,ryte?

feminine sweetness captured in an overrated bottle.lol!

(spring repackaging)

there are also other variants of daisy:

the pop art edition

the first release,in EDT.

the limited edition packaging;Daisy Blooms,complete with stickers.hah!

The bottles might be different,but they all smell pretty much the same.the versions only differ in the emphasis of notes,though it does not affect the whole character of the smell.

oh,but wait.theres moreeeeeeee:

Marc Jacob Daisy,pendant watch.

Daisy solid perfume ring and gold pouch.

Beauty pouch

Daisy Beaded Bag.

OMG!They have DAISY BAGSSS!ADOOORABLE!genuine leather supercute ftw omg wth!

okay.i better stop myself before things get ugly -.-

thanx again pa!i know i can trust your taste.almost-- most of the time.:P

its a big fat lie if i say i CAN live without my handphone.and i bet for everyone else too.my handphone,is like my second heart,my pace maker (ok.terlampau melampau).i just think its something i have to have by myside,my reminder,alarm clock,boredombuster,birthday reminder,organiser,calendar,camera,dictionary,music/video player,my ultimate medium of communication=my lifeline. makes me think,how did pple zaman dulu survive.maybe,like this;

haha.did the flintstones communicate like this dlu?oh,now i remember.mr flint had a handphone right?except it was made of stone.or,something like this;?

motorola microtac, first cellphone ever made

banyak laa micro, macro ade la.this can be used as a murder tool.if it was this phone naomi campbell threw at her assistant, she'd be imprisoned for homicide already.

evolution of handphones

then came the bulky one(second from left,pic abv).i still remember my papa's phone.blue colour.giler berat,i dunno how it fit into his pocket.haha.and there were these jokes, when pple call u'll laugh bcuz the vibrating is ticklish.=.= agak LAME~ *capital L*
and now we have:

i-phone and blackberry;dengan torch x torchnye.
infact ade org nak buat iPad jadi phone.LMAO.

tapi mine:

ok.there are some minor scratch.but i just love it as it is~

it doesnt matter if all my other fmly members gune yg touch screen,and i'm the only one left behind..(na wat camne xde rezeki) lol.at least i cant count on my bby; it doesnt hang(as long as i dun overcrowd it) the battery survives long enough, it has bluetooth for easy file sharing,wiFi,video playback,sweet camera, and most important;the phone itself survives: me.

currently my message tone is a recording of a bunch of kids(ank2 intec staff) saying: 'kak nabilah,kak nabilah ade message.kring kring'
papa dah naik meluat dengan this messagetone.he'll immitate d tone in his 'perfectly' high pitch mode voice and then say'hish,sakit hatiii ak' sambil geleng kepala.den suddenly just now he said asked me to record my voice and do something similar like that for his messagetone.BIG HAHA!

oh.one eenie meenie tiny confession; i dont quite understand the obsession with iphone( crappy pics,short battery life, hang) and blackberry(is'nt it hard to fiddle those small keypads?)
