Marco Simoncelli: 1987-2011

Marco Simoncelli: 1987-2011

First of all, I want to offer my sincerest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Marco Simoncelli, who passed away today. He was involved in a fatal crash involving three bikes during the second lap of the Malaysian Grand Prix. I just can't find the words to say anymore about this incident. It's the second fatality in motorsport, having already lost British racecar driver Dan Wheldon to injuries too, in an Indy Car crash last week. Shudder. But this is racing: there's always the risk, and unfortunately it's part of their (the riders and drivers) jobs. Sh*t happens, and I especially am gutted to know that the world has lost a talented, up-and-coming racer. He will always be remembered as the guy with the big hair (well at least to me!). R.I.P, Marco...

greener pastures? come on over!

truth be told, i dont even know if people even read my blog anymore.

*horrible negative thoughts arising again* aww shucks. cant help it. its human nature.

as i am typing this, it will be my last post for a week. i will be 'seeking newer and greener pastures' for the next whole week. i dont want to reveal too much, as its not 'confirmed' yet, but i will be on trial for a week, and God willing i will 'begin my new life' not a moment too soon. *hope and pray* =)

meanwhile i am supposed to be packing for my trip tomorrow, but i need a 'break' in between. procrastination. that seems to be my favourite hobby. ha! i just somehow felt like i needed to blog about this. dont want to tell it to people. want them to read it from my blog. (haaaaaa. if they ever do, that is...)

okays then. looks like its curtains for my AO WORD CENTRE days. after this next one week i 'may or may not' return to that place anymore. dont want to start being sentimental (i always am), and negative about anything, so i guess the buck stops here, and i want to go get some rest before tomorrow's bus ride up to 'somewhere'. God bless WORD CENTRE, and also to all my colleagues there. enjoy your next week of school!


goodnight world! XOXO

Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder, has passed away. The co-founder was 56 and had been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer. This is the guy who was responsible for introducing the global community to desktop publishing and computer animated movies and creating the first commercially successful computer. Jobs co-founded Apple Computer at the age of 21 out of his garage in Cupertino, California. He built the business into a mind-boggling success with devoted fans around the world. Apple has since brought us the iPod, iPhone, iPad tablet and more. Sad... See, this goes to show: LIFE'S UNPREDICTABLE. We can seem to be healthy today, but might be sick with a certain disease or worst, have a rare disease that cuts our life on this earth short. Just a recent example: Steve Jobs was such a visionary (and I'm not alone in using the V word to describe him), yet he had to go so soon. We all have to cherish our lives and be the best that we can be everyday.

We hope Jobs's family will pull through and find solace in time of grief.

R.I.P, Steve Jobs. The whole world will miss you (and your would-be-but-never-will-be ideas to revolutionize computer technology around us).

1st death anniversary of Muffin

                 IN MEMORY of: Muffin
         (2002-03? - 9th September 2010)


Wow..... Has it already been a year since his death? Time does fly by quickly. For those who don't know, it is my (late) pet dog Muffin's 1st death anniversary today. He passed away early in the morning last year. He was already old, coupled with some sickness, it rendered him quite weak and soulless. I know God had his reasons for taking Muffin away so soon, and I just thank the Lord  that He put Muffin out of his misery and pain by taking him to 'doggy heaven' so soon. When it's your time to go, you just have to go. Y'know, I now look back and really thank the Lord that He gave me and my family such joy with Muffin in our lives. He was a bit naughty (obviously, since the little bugger thought he was a big dog), but mostly obedient and clever in many ways. His death came as such a shock, particularly to me, as I loved him dearly. I would like to think that he loved me the most (out of all my family members) too. I look back, memories start flooding back, and I strangely recall the times when I was 'afraid' of him (as he was then a new 'member' to the family back in '02-'03 and the fact that he was the first 'toy dog' that I had), but slowly Muffin and I grew closer and closer. I deeply regret the times I mistreated him, and if I could, I would give him a great big hug and kiss him too! Ha ha! I never kissed him before. Wasted. Now I would never get the chance again. Sad. Even as I'm typing this, I think I'm going to cry. Just thinking of him makes me happy, yet sad. Looking at pictures of him make me smile. They always do. A big grin would be plastered on my face everytime! Ahh...what memories... God bless Muffin's soul. Rest In Peace, Muffin. You'll always be my favourite pet puppy.....

new month, same old dreariness

It's already the 1st of September! WHAT? Where have all the earlier months gone? Have they really gone by so quickly? Sheesh. Oh well. I can do nothing but welcome it. After all, we only move forward, and not backwards...

Let's see...what do I have to blog about today... Actually, nothing at all. Just that it's the 1st of September. Yeah, that's about it. Hmmm.....this one-week holidays have actually been sucky. Nothing to look forward to. Pffft.

Happy Independence Day Malaysia!

THANK GOD! I told my parents about my 'little fender-bender' yesterday night, and they didn't scold me much. In fact, I think I panicked for NOTHING! Ha ha...although I just think that they didn't scold me on the pretext that they just came back from KL. Maybe they were too tired to scold? Anyways, they just told me to be more careful the next time, bla bla bla..... Whew! Glad it went well. My only gripe? The incident affected my appetite for dinner. Now I know the feeling when people say they can't eat after something horrible has happened. The feeling sucks, btw.

Am in the office currently, still trying to complete dad's assignment to me. SketchUp is fun. REALLY fun! I have to go back to work now, so toodles! xx

*oh before I forget: HAPPY HARI MERDEKA, MALAYSIA! I am proud to be an 'Anak Malaysia' XD
