Can Someone Arrest Him Already?!?!?

The recent news about Kartika Sari Dewi who was caught and charged and to be caned for drinking beer has sparked quite and argument about our Malaysia's law & justice system.

It is an open 'secret' that many Malays/Muslims do consume alcohol, they either do it privately or openly in the pubs with their peers. There are many photographs available on the internet showing many ministers' children are also partying & consuming alcohol openly in pub/disco with their friends and even they were not caught by the religious officers at that time, aren't the photos say enough? So why no one actually arrest and charge them?!?!

I've received some photos from a friend last year of a well known politic figure and his wife drinking beer with a group of friends at a private premise. I've been keeping the mail but never once forward to anyone else, but then I think now is the time to show the people what kind of Hypocrites are running our country!!!

Recognise Her??

Who is that?

Any clue?

Can you recognise who are in the pics? And CAN SOMEONE ARREST HIM ALREADY?!?!?!

Challenge, Fear & Pressure...

With Pressure comes Fear; and With Fear Comes Greater Pressure.

It is inevitable to face pressure in our daily life. We get it from work, family and friends and even from strangers that we do not know. The more pressure we have, the more fear we built up in us and the more difficult to get things done.

Can we turn all these negative influences into something positive? How can we make use of the fear and pressure and turn them into positive energy?

We have it in us, just that not all of us know how to deal and work on it. As everyone deal with their stress and fear differently thus there is no sure proof method on telling someone how he/she should do it. I guess we can always use the fear and pressure as motivation and encouragement to do better, to move forward and not to hold us back or retreating. Try thinking of some rewards for yourself if you could achieve or overcome certain things.

I always believe that the biggest thing to challenge myself with is, well MYSELF. As all of us have our own capabilities as well as limitations, so we can never be the best of all coz somewhere around the world, there are always people who are much better than us.

So why do we want to pressure ourselves by challenging other people's limit? The biggest achievement is not about how many people we could win out there coz we can never win them all. The most important thing is having our own breakthrough. We do better than what we think we could. When you achieve something better than you can imagine, you surprise yourselves again by making another bigger achievement. You have done your best and you have go beyond your limit, so even if you lose to others that doesn't make you any less than others.

For example, if there is a singing competition where the contestants are make out of Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Christina Aguilera and other many great singers, let say if Mariah Carey wins the competition, does it mean the rest are not as good a singer than Mariah Carey? Of course NOT!

So that's what I'm trying to say if you can follow me.

Do not be afraid to lose to others by giving more pressure to ourselves. Really, coz what really matter is to win ourselves over. Selah! ;)

Choosing The Right Songs

I'm down with 2 more songs.... but it is so difficult to decide on the last 2 songs.

I have to forgo a few songs chosen earlier coz after trying out in the studio, both my sound engineer & I agreed that some songs are not suitable for my voice even though I like it very much. I've decided a few more songs and hope that I can nail those songs and able to finish my recording next week.

Once I complete this album, I can start concentrating on composing my own songs. Another thing I've been wanting to do long long time ago. :)

It feels great and fulfilling when you finally working towards your dreams and see it being materialised. Wish I've started all these earlier but then it is better late than never coz at least I no longer just sit here and 'dream' about it, I am Acting on it. :)

These Are Our Police...Or Samseng?!?!?

Got this video from a friend today so thought of just share it with you all.

I do not know what was the guy's offence as he could have beaten, robbed, rapped or killed someone...or he could have committed a minor offense...or he might be innocence of any crime.

Whatever it is I do not agree with what our police have done to that guy. We have laws so they should just let that guy be punished under the law and not take things in their own hair. Being a police give them no rights to mistreat or assault people as they like.

2nd Phase...

Since I was young I've been dreaming about recording my own album and in fact it has been intensify the past few months.

I almost given up as the sound engineers were all fully booked by other artists and I thought maybe it wasn't meant to be since I've waited since Jan. But then last Thursday, my vocal trainer finally told me that I can start doing my recording. And there I went quickly arranged with the sound engineer for today.

I've spent 2 hours in the studio recorded 2 songs. My trainer told me I did very well and very fast coz a lot of people would take 3-4 hours just to record one song. I wonder if it is true or she was just trying to encourage me and makes me feel good.

I think I did pretty well even though I had to redo many times in order to get the perfect pitch and all. I was very nervous at first but thank goodness the sound engineer is good so I felt more relax after a while. It was a very nice & fun experience but my legs were killing me as I stood for 2 hours for the recording.

I'll be going for another session this Thursday to record other songs and hopefully I'll be more relax this time.

And I'm glad I've finally move into the 2nd phase towards my dream. :)

It's Finally Here.....

It has been long awaited, anticipated and hoped for for many years, especially the past few months. Finally, I need not wait any longer. The time is here, the time is now, the time is....next Tuesday.

I finally going to start on my recording next Tuesday and I'm very excited and nervous about it. I've dreaming about this moment from young and finally one of my dream is gonna be fulfilled.

I must take care of my vocal cord well and practice even more so I'll do great and need not spend too much time. My teacher said from today onwards I must stay away from all deep fried, spicy & oily food. I mustn't take cold water and I must get enough rest and sleep early. I also need to take Manuka honey and go for swim to strengthen my lungs capacity.

Wahhhhh...lots of preparation work to do but I know it will be all worthy at the end of the day!!!

My teacher said I mustn't get too excited and nervous about it. So I'm going to try to stay calm & cool. WooHoo...... :P

Presentable? No?!

I'm not upset anymore even though I was when I first saw the comment on one of my photo in FB, but I am larger than that so I'm totally cool after 5 minutes.

I know I should let it go and not talk about it anymore and let go I did, but I'm just still can't comprehend that kind of comment from a total stranger. For crying out loud, it was just some photos taken by 2 friends for fun so that they could practice and improve their photography skills while I get the chance to feel how is it like to be a 'model'.

You see, I am really used to people telling me that I'm not pretty when I was young and I had totally NO self esteem at all. There were plenty of emotional breakdown in the past of me crying and complaining about how disgusting I find myself each time I look into the mirror and seeing my own reflection. I only managed to build up some self esteem 2 years back by the help of my hubby unconditional love & patience and made me understand and realise that I should love myself and be grateful for what God has given me. And I've learned to accept who I am and how I look.

It is not an easy thing to go through growing up with people telling you that you are not pretty and that you are always the last choice because you don't look as cute or pretty as the others. I am still struggling with self esteem issue and sometimes it is really hard to keep up the positive thinking and motivation.

I wasn't upset at all when the person commented that I'm not pretty but I was utterly shock that she actually said I'm not 'Presentable'?!?!! I'm not pretty alright but who cares, that's the face God has given me and how God has made me. But...but....to the extend of being not presentable, that is really hurtful coz seriously, even though I never think myself as 'pretty' or 'beautiful' I never realise that I am that 'ugly' to the point that being not presentable at all.

Should I hide myself at home or wear a mask when I go out so that I will not disgust people?

LOL.....
