| Westernized Sino-Kadazan Superstitions |
| Wednesday, November 30, 2005 |
Being born of two worlds and being brought up the western civilization way, my superstitions are a mixture of all three and honestly, makes me a lil confused at times.. hehe.. So anyways, today I've decided to list out as many superstitions which I believe in and follow to this very day in my blog..
- Don't change seats while eating.. or you will have a change in husband/wife!
- Do not sweep people's feet.. If your feet are victims to the broom, spit on it and let the bad luck be swept away..
- Do not cut your fingernails/toenails at night.. unless you wanna see urm.. you know... "SOMETHING"!!
- Bathe at the stroke of 12 on New Year's.. something about cleansing yourself for the new year or something..
- Do not sit right after someone has gotten up from that seat.. or you could get into a fight!
- Do not give perfumes, handkerchiefs, shoes or sharp items to anyone as presents.. unless you wanna lose a friend..
- If you bite your tongue suddenly, someone is talking about you behind your back.. prolly bad.. who knows?
- It's not good to place an empty plate underneath a plate with food or one that you're still using.. no idea why..
Hmm.. there are lots more I can talk about.. but I think Imma cut it short.. Anyways, can't really think of any others at the moment.. If you know me well, you'd prolly realise that I make almost everything into a superstition.. hehe.. Can't help it.. Till then.. signing out.. |

| The Dawning |
|
The birds sing so sweetly
A song of love and joy
Calling out the sun
"Come out, don't be shy"
The sun spreads its glow
Touching earth with its hands
Tiny buds open slowly
Savouring every moment
Babies let open
Their shiny, starry eyes
Smiling in joy and content
At the first streak of ray
Big fluffy white clouds
Float with agility and grace
As they stroll along the blues
The skies of endless might
Butterflies proudly flaunt
Their wings of beauty bright
Fluttering amongst the flowers
Of colours painted bold
The birds sing sweetly
Heard loud and clear
A song of life and love
The birth of a new dawn
-Inspired by a certain friend of mine..
You know who you are.. Thank you!- |

Ugh, Gawd.. Guess what I'm about to do.. STUDY! Why you may ask, since it IS my HOLIDAYS now.. well, easy.. I'm freaked out and I'm scared I'd fail and have to resit my papers.. Pretty freaked about TWO papers.. My Natural Products and my Pharmaceutical Analysis.. *sniff* And to make things worse, Dr.K scared the sh*t outta me the other night by telling me to "make sure to come back to kl in time" coz he told us about viva and resit.. Soooo NOT very nice of him to ruin my holidays... *sniff*...
Truth of the matter is, he didn't have to tell me that coz I myself am fully aware that I might fail my papers coz I know I didn't do well since I didn't know how to answer most of the questions anyway.. I'm just hoping my 30% from in-course assessment will be able to help me.. But yeah, to be on the safe side, Imma study.. Hate being forced to though.. Mum kinda forced me to study just now.. I'm a rebel and I usually don't listen when people tell me to do stuff especially when I'm having a sh*t of a day!
To make matters worse, I think I'm hooked onto someone, technically speaking... I kinda like this one guy I met a few weeks back and well.. I just hope it doesn't turn into another KL episode.. I'm sure most of you know what KL stands for and it's definately NOT Kuala Lumpur.. Hehe! My feelings towards him are pretty strong I guess coz normally it's easy for me to like, shop for guys and drool over their cute arsses.. (Ok, THAT's called EXAGGERATING!! lol.. anyways, you get the picture..) but now, it's like.. my heart is somewhat faithful towards him and we aren't even seeing each other... and crap, I don't think he even likes me more than a friend.. *shrug*..
Gee, I sure wish cupid will stop hitting ONLY me with the arrow.. He should start doing his work properly and shoot two arrows in BOTH directions.. *tsk*.. Oh well.. I guess that's all Imma crap now.. And I hope you guys out there won't perasan it's you k? Lol.. This time I think I kept my feelings hidden pretty well.. hehe!
Till then.. signing off with lotsa love and muakkers! |

| Countdown to X'mas |
|
I was feeling rather down just now.. Didn't really have a good week and well, what happened today just added to the misery that I'm going through at the moment.. Nah, don't wanna talk about it.. Let's just say I've done my share of tear shedding..
Well, while I was shamelessly allowing my tears to fall freely, through my tears, I saw a new christmas cd recently purchased peeking from behind my computer table... I tore the plastic open and put the cd into my cd player and am now listening to it..
The transition from being down in the dumps to totally relaxed and composed was really fast.. My christmas spirit, I realised, is just stronger than any other feelings I'm feeling at the moment.. Even though my family has stopped celebrating christmas, I still am.. I can't let it go.. EVER..
I grew up loving christmas more than any other celebration coz this is the only time in the year I get to spend with my family back in Sabah.. Not everyone understands how important christmas is to me..
Currently playing is (I'm dreaming of a) White Christmas.. Love this song.. *starts singing*.. I'm so glad for christmas.. I feel most loved during this time of the year.. Hehe.. I sound corny.. Anyways, I'm glad I'm feeling better now.. At least I have the heart to blog now that I'm better.. Argh! I'm crapping.. Better sign off before I make a complete fool outta myself!
Till then.. Love you peeps! |

| In Search of Serenity |
| Tuesday, November 29, 2005 |
Searching, seeking
Something is missing
An empty hole
Waiting to be filled
Why am I here
On this treasure hunt
With no compas
No map, no clue
Where am I?
Why is it dark?
Should I run?
Or fight my fear?
For you, I search
For you, I seek
Are you there?
Are you within reach?
Everytime I stretch
Reaching out more
You take a step back
Further and further
Oh, Serenity
Don't stay away
Come back, come back
Return at last
Do you hear me
Serenity?
Peace is not with me
When you are lost
With you lies my fate
Life or death
You decide
Serenity speak!
Come back, Serenity
Please come back 
Welcome to my blog! |
