I Heard This Song Today And I Thought Of You

 I Heard This Song Today And I Thought Of You

Have you ever experienced this?

A whiff of scent or a song that you have not heard for a long time, suddenly comes on and immediately transports you back to a place, a time, a person, or a memory that you have long forgotten?

Like stepping into a time machine.

A memory that was so fresh as if it just happened yesterday. 

Or an emotion so raw and powerful that makes you wonder does time really heal?

It's astounding how one song can trigger so much.

Why does music evoke those specific memories and takes us back to that time?

I was listening to these songs the other day and it reminds me of this young girl who I haven't thought about for a very long time.

She was naive and stupid but full of hope for life and the future, for what the world has to offer. Always being open to new experiences, new people.

Mengejar cinta, cita dan harapan. Chasing love, hopes, and dreams.

She has so many hopes and dreams for herself, of things she wants to achieve.

You know, like most girls that age, she dreams of a perfect husband, marriage, and kids by a certain age. She even picked out names for her future children.

At one point in time, she really did think she has it all figured out.

How naive.

I miss her zest for life, her enthusiasm, her naivety. But most of all, her romanticism and belief in love. 

That love conquers all. That in her search for this love, she often forgets how to love herself first and broke her heart over and over again.

Where is this girl now?

I miss that young girl. I truly do despite her naivety and stupidity. 

I'm so proud of her. That no matter what happens in her life, no matter how many times she fell, she gets up and tries again.

Always hopeful and making the most of what life throws at her, figuring life lessons along the way, understanding and loving herself better one day at a time. 

The hardest lesson for her probably is learning to let go. To let go of the what-ifs, the could-be, the should-be. To let go of who she thought she should be.  

Where is that girl now?

    Ah! That little girl is in all of us (girls)! For me it is the smell of the flowers of a tree called Flame of the Forest that transports me back to my primary school days. Very evocative!

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh?

Resipi Lemon Butter Cake Gebu, Mudah Dan Dijamin Sedap I love cakes but I love baking more than I love eating them.  So sapa jadi mangsa habiskan kek-kek yang iols buatkan?  Colleagues dan kawan-kawan iols lah yang untung.  *Misi menggemukkan rakan sekerja* Lemon butter cake ni iols pernah buat seketika dahulu dan digemari oleh kawan iols, Ari Fatonah Diva. Tiba-tiba hari tu, iols dikunjungi oleh seruan angin surirumahtangga dan teringin nak buat lemon butter cake ni.  Resipi ni iols ambik dari blog Phong Hong Bakes and Cooks . I love her blog because she is a die-hard foodie and hilarious too. By the way, resipi ni CPPS approved sebab kek ni ringan dan gebu.

Squats Ke Arah Bontot Mantap

I love doing squats and all the variations of squats. Kalau pegi gym and tak buat senaman bontot, bukan Cik Panda lah namanya.  Bontot yang mantap tu kan aset. Ada orang yang bertuah dilahirkan semula jadi bontot memang mantap. Tu genetik. Tapi malangnya orang itu bukanlah ai. I'm not born with it, I build it.  Kadang-kadang kedengaran desiran angin nada-nada jealous makcik-makcik bawang sekalian. "Heh. Buat apa nak buat bontot besar-besar, squat bagai. Nak bagi jantan tengok la tu. Pakai ketat-ketat lepas tu tayang kat jantan-jantan. Nak mintak kena rogol ke apa?" Amboi mulut makcik-makcik bawang netizen sekarang ni memang puaka uols. Suka mendoakan yang jahat-jahat kat orang.  Kita buat bontot or whatever, tu untuk kepuasan diri sendiri. Untuk meningkatkan tahap keyakinan diri and it shows on your face and attitude when you have a healthy level of self-confidence.  Tak gitu uols. Yang takde confidence tu la yang duduk sebalik keyboard dan kutuk, ...
