~ Unique **Adamas** Temptress ~

The
day was hot. We cannot wait to get it over and done with…

I walked in, greeted the madam seated at the counter and
started strolling shelves after shelves looking at every single stones
available even in the deepest corner. I was busy looking at the variety of
crystals displayed at the shop with all my other friends. It was thought to be
like any other day. It was the last stay of my trip there.

They gathered round
the counter talking to the friendly lady serving. Me, I am still looking for
the right stones. Choosing which one to pick out of the thousands is often a
very difficult decision to make. After pointing out a few, I return to the
counter to get a sit before I finalized which one to purchase.

Sitting at the counter and looking at the variety of stones
introduced. The man of the house was busy introducing, show and also pointed at
the stones one over another. He was busy with his introduction and me with my
bargaining for a better price.

I
STILL DID NOT NOTICE!

Mrs. Tan at the counter started
to divert her conversation to me. “So it’s been a long time since I saw you,
how are you doing?”, “I’m fine thank you. Yes, it’s been a long time, haha I’ve
been busy.” She handed over a name card to everyone then me and she said “Let
me introduce, this is my son! And that is his name card.” She pointed at the
guy in red in between one of the shelves.

NOW THAT is when I notice the
stranger my friends were talking to! He was the guy Looi was chatting to
happily. Okay so she wasn’t on a call! He blushed and laughed then he said “Hi,
I’m Ray!”. I stretched my hands out and shake his. “Well, nice to meet you. I’m
Ching.” Everyone started introducing themselves to him and then my attention
was drawn back to his mom.

Looking at me she said to
everyone “My son is still single, are you single? It would be great if you can
introduce anyone nice to him…” Are you kidding me? Your contacts and his is
broader then mine. You don’t need me to introduce any! I saw him shy off saying
that it’s embarrassing and suggested us to divert to another topic.

  That was when his dad looked over and says
“Ah, Yes, that’s my son!” so proud of him that he was, he then continued with
his introduction on the collections…

******************

That day, after I left the shop, I actually issued a SMS out
to him and I wrote “AH, So I do know you, they told me you were the guy who frequents
Nesturn, the guy who owns the shop! No wonder why you seem rather familiar.”

On our first conversation he said “I was very surprised how
smart my mom was to hand over my name card. She understands me very well and
knows what I’d like. She gave me a shock with what she did and my dad too! He’s
never like this before. Can you remember how he look over half way and
introduced me to you and you only?” To tell you the truth I did not noticed
that. Knowing the nature of mine, it’s hard for me not to be careless and
notice details.

Most of your words are still freshly carved in my memory. He
talked a lot that night. One that meant a lot that night was you saying
“Remember that SMS? I was hoping so hard. Hoping it was you on the other line.
My mom asked me to call and ask if it was you. Indeed it was you! I need to
thank my mom. If not, I would not have found you.” From his voice, one can tell
he was with joy so happy that he carried a smile all the way while talking.

Here I know, he has set his eyes on me when I walked into the
shop. His eyes followed me throughout the entire transaction. He has set strong
determination to make me his and I am the lucky girl picked. It wasn’t any
ordinary day after all, because I’ve found you too!

**
Nesturn is a café I visited frequently. They have singers who perform on stage.
Well, it’s a lonely night nothing much you can do if not to catch up with
friends. I saw him there frequently but was not properly introduced.

A LONG TIME AGO LA!

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world’s largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals  for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.  He has given his CEO’s only two rules.
     Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder’s money.
     Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
8. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on  his desk.

  His advice to young people: "Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and
  Remember:
  A. Money doesn’t create man but it is the man who created money.
  B. Live your life as simple as you are.
  C. Don’t do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel  good.
  D. Don’t go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel  comfortable.
  E. Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them  who really in need rather.
  F. After all it’s your life then why give chance to others to rule our  life."

    Mengapa kau membutakan telingaku

Mengapa engkau membutakan hatiku

Sehinggaku tak peduli

Semua insan berbintiku

Hinggaku sanggup melarikan diri

Tinggalkan ibu ayah dan Hello Kitty

Bersamamu ku temui

Yang kukenal sehari

Korus:

Ku tahu ibu ayah terguris hati

Siang dan malam gelisahkan aku

Hello Kitty tolong aku

Katakan aku ok…

Esok aku meraih hari jadiku

Air mata berlinang dipipiku

Hello Kitty tolong aku

Tiupkan lilin yang buta ini

Setelah kepalsuan mencelikkanku

Setelah penyesalan menginsafkanku

Hello Kitty tolong aku

Aku mahu pulang…

Tiada apa yang menghalangku
Untuk dapat apa ku mahu
Kerana bila tempuh cabaran
Kau hadir memberi kekuatan
Keyakinan membara
Bagai obor yang gemerlap

Unbreakable Unbreakable
Kobar motivasi
Kau semangat teguh dan sensasi

Nanti akan jadi sejarah
Satu impian jadi kenyataan
Dan nanti akan jadi kisah sebuah kejayaan
Semangat yang kau sungguh ku jadi teguh

Menghitung hari
Detik demi detik
Masa ku nanti apa kan ada
Jalan cerita kisah yang panjang
Menghitung hari…

Padamkan saja
Kobar asmaramu
Cinta putih itu takkan ada
Yang aku minta tulus hatimu
Bukan puitis

*chorus*
Pergi saja cintamu pergi
Bilang saja pada semua
Biar semua tahu adanya
Diriku kini sendiri

Padamkan saja
Kobar asmaramu
Jika putik itu takkan ada
Yang aku minta tulus hatimu
bukan puitis

repeat chorus x2

Today I witness a grab and run case. It was first a scream follow by a chase and run scenario. It reminds me of my own similar situation.

There is two culprit in such cases. Usually one will be waiting by the motor(acting as the driver) and the other will be out stalking for victims. This usually take place in places such as restaurants or mamak area. The potential victims? Well they are those individuals who enjoy placing their begs on chairs and handphones on tables or vice versa.

This is what happen to the female. She was spot with her handbag on the chair next to her in the restaurant and the snatch thief grab and run with her bag. Follow by her scream and she run after the snatch thief, saw the snatch thief skip and join his mates. The end of the situation as usual ends with the female weeping to her fellow mates and looking at the culprits run off with the goods.

Mine? Well it was a handphone for my case. It was in between my plate and my hands. They just slip through the gap and took it away… Me and my friend was very tired that particular week. It just happen maybe about a year ago. I couldnt forget the situation then cuz I believe I stood up from my table and wave goodbye to the snatch thief… Terrible aye? Then I lost my hostel keys too with a sheep keychain. My concern was the contacts and OH SHIT I’ve got no place to stay…

I bet the women must be thinkin’ "OH NO MY CREDIT CARDS and MY MAKE UPS and and…" So the story goes. The hassle of police report and etc is always a headache…

If that bugger is so damn poor as to need the money to feed a house of five mouth, with a job paid lower than 600 renting a place or something, I might have a little space for pity. But that definitely doesnt mean one has to rob other off their belongings just because they cannot afford and has such reasons. Worst still if the person is a drug addict… Hopeless.

Well conclusion, Plz find a job or find a better alternative to get the money you needed arsehole! I cannot believe if in within my friends has a snatch thief! TOTALLY NO COMMENT… By the way, do be more careful with your belongings and always be alert. I had this experience which is a good lesson since than I’m 10% more alert… At least I have a fear of it happening again therefore more caution. Ei 10% is better than none la considering I am a 120% clumsy person heheh…

You’re irreplaceable?

I’ve been twisting and turning in a space that’s too small
I’ve been drawing the line and watching it fall
You’ve been closing me in , closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching us fall apart

Well I can’t explain why it’s not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It’s the better thing to do

It’s time to surrender
It’s been too long pretending
There’s no use in trying
When the pieces don’t fit anymore

You pulled me under so I had to give in
Such a beautiful mess that’s breaking my skin
Well I’ll hide all the bruises; I’ll hide all the damage that’s done
But I show how I’m feeling until all the feeling has gone

Well I can’t explain why it’s not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It’s the better thing to do

It’s time to surrender
It’s been too long pretending
There’s no use in trying
When the pieces don’t fit anymore
The pieces don’t fit anymore

Oh, don’t misunderstand how I feel
Coz I’ve tried, yes I’ve tried
Still I don’t know why
No I don’t know why

Why I can’t explain why it’s not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It’s the better thing to do

It’s time to surrender
It’s been too long pretending
There’s no use in trying
When the pieces don’t fit anymore
The pieces don’t fit anymore

Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder,
Don’t you know, the hardest part is over, let it in,
Let your clarity define you in the end,
You will only just remember how it feels.
Our lives are made, in these small hours, these little wonders
These twisted turns of fate, time falls away,
But these small hours, these small hours, still remain.
Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you, let it stand,
Till you feel it all around you,
And I don’t mind if it’s me you need to turn to, we’ll get by,
It’s the heart that really matters in the end.
Our lives are made, in these small hours, these little wonders
These twisted turns of fate, time falls away,
But these small hours, these small hours, still remain.
All of my regret, will wash away somehow,
But I cannot forgive the way I feel right now.
In these small hours, these little wonders, these twisted turns of fate,
All these twisted turns of fate, these twisted turns of fate
Yeah, times falls away
But these small hours, these small hours, still remain.
They still remain, these little wonders, all these twisted turns of fate
time falls away, but these small hours, these little wonders
Still remain.

*malam meresahi (ku)
dingin sepi
kini dikau tiada menemani tidurku

tiada lagi indah

kini mimpi mimpi tak serupa
tanpa kau disisi
kekasih mengusapi
lenaku ini

hadirmu sementara
seketika cuma
pergimu selamanya

kemilauan cintamu
menyuluhi cintaku
asmara mu sebuah memori
abadi selamanya

keindahan kasihmu
menyinari kasihku
asmaramu hanyalah
tinggalan kenangan sedih sendu

kekasih..
tetap dalam hati
semoga kau, tenang disana sayang….

repeat *

kemilauan… asmaraku.. selamanya
