When simplicity rules!

Another reason why I love Chrome (by Google) so much: the existence of Bookmark Manager – I can import/export my bookmarks effortlessly!

Earlier, I actually Googled for “Chrome bookmarks location” and got into a jungle of confusion. Seriously, why would you want to look for the location if you really cannot locate it? The bookmarks on Chrome are actually almost non-existent on your hard drive. Seriously.

The people at Google has made our lives easier by giving us Chrome, so use it!

You either do a Ctrl+Shift+B (go to 2. right after) or if you really don’t know what those addition is about, follow these steps:

1. Click on the wrench-icon on your Chrome (this icon is on the top right corner, just sitting below the X where you close your Chrome off)
2. The Bookmark Manager window will pop-up
3. Click on the Tools and choose Export Bookmarks (or Import Bookmarks, which ever suits you heh)

You should be able to achieve whatever you wish to achieve when you did the search to “Chrome bookmark location” earlier. Because, I did!

Don’t make your life harder, it is meant to be simple. SRSLY!

When true friends are loved

I wrote a whole long post and somehow, just somehow, instead of updating my blog, the whole entry disappeared when I clicked on the “Publish” button. It felt like I’ve just lost a whole load of my friends cos I wrote a whole entry for all of them.

Bummer.

What I had wanted to say was, I learnt it the hard way that I should not neglect my friends, penalizing them with my disappearance for something I’ve experienced which they do not know of.

I’ve had my heart broken and I sort of had a change of heart with friendships. While I go into recluse, I only met a certain group of friends because they are the ones who were as affected as I was. I thought it was good to hide away and not hurt the others with the pain I felt.

How wrong I am. Now, I am reflecting the wrongs I have done to renew myself.

I thank you, all of my friends, who have let me “disappear” for awhile. I miss each and every one of you and am trying to catch up with lost times.

I guess, the year end always make it easier for us to reflect and say, “hey, let’s get together and be merry”.

I love you.

When doubt takes over

Sometimes in life, you have to meet with pessimists to channel the negativities into your strength. They say, one’s loss is another’s gain. It’s the same concept, really.

Hello friends, I’ve been back in Singapore for 2 weeks already. However, I’ve been in recluse. I’m in a stage where I’m neither here nor there. There were and are alot of instances I was made to realize, here I am stepping on this same ground while the sky is still high up there, not within reach, at all. What I really mean to say is, humility is still the key to life.

I have faced with situations where I was disregarded, which made me question myself if I have a need to be there (those situations I mean, not the locality, mind you). I have been in situations where I was supposed to matter in the decision but I was omitted from the discussion itself. These made me value the power of effective communication.

Yes, you may be communicating your thoughts, intentions to someone else. But if you did not effectively communicate them, the receiver may or may not get exactly the point you wanted to get across. Dare I say I was hit the hardest when it happened too close to home.

The fact that I’m already home makes it worse. Yes, I’m speaking in vagueness where you’ll need to find those hidden sentences between these written lines to know exactly what I’m talking about.

Back to my main point. I’m sure you’ve ever faced with a very conflicting person. Or maybe, he’s not exactly conflicting but his current situation made him so. You might think at that point of time you are settled and contented. But once you are faced with a person like that, your mind get to thinking. You start to question your beliefs in certain things.

I guess, my heart is still not settled. I’m still confused.

Anyhow, that’s my brain vomiting its excess thoughts. Here, some updates on what has happened so far.

In the short 3 months that I’ve been working with Shegar, I have gained tremendous experiences. His world is fast-paced. Once, he received a call in the late evening for a job needed the very next day in Melacca. I was glad to have assisted him throughout the whole day at the on-site. I met with 4 popular Malaysian artistes, which at this time I am not able to disclose their identities.

The following week, I managed to catch CUCI the musical and saw (or met? no, not really) the veteran singer, Salamiah Hassan who was watching the same show with her daughter, Atilia. The same week, we had one of the huge event at MMU (Multimedia University) at Cyberjaya. It was the launching of its charity program, Yayasan Universiti Multimedia, headed by the former Malaysian PM’s wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah. And definitely Tun Dr Mahathir was there too. The guest artiste for the night was…

.. Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza!

I admit, I’m not a fan of hers but meeting a person of her stature was definitely overwhelming. I’m sure you can tell by the wide grin on my face. The job definitely has it perks.

Since I’ve been back home, it’s quite an irony, how much propositions I suddenly have. The Wan himself have been getting on quite well with his side projects. One of the latest was a backdrop on a stage outside Takashimaya.

So people, doubt is never a negative thing. It’s good to have doubt, so you get to question your intentions and movements. Once you have the answer to the question, you know then you’re doing the right thing; that you’ve ascertained yourself of your doings.

But, too much of doubt is not advisable. Heh.

When circumstances got us separated

On Monday, 19th Oct, I left for KL alone. The Wan was by the road side, looking in the bus which I had taken a seat. It was hard, but we had made the decision to live separately as we have respective work commitments.

The Wan has gotten a really good offer back in SG to head a project for 3 months. Since I’ve already taken on the job here in KL/PJ, we couldn’t help being separated by the causeway can we?

The days and nights passed while we were getting used to not having each other around. Then, my parents made the decision to drive up to KL on Friday with the Wan in tow. So we lovebirds are reunited for the weekend. Only weekend.

We were getting used to not have each other around and now we’re re-adjusting all over again.

I’m disoriented, really. For now, I’m just counting down to the days I’ll return back to SG to see him…

When September was extraordinary

Although Syawal (Hari Raya) wasn’t really celebrated cos I was sick and ermm running between two countries, September ended with a huge bang.

The “once in a lifetime” opportunity when the Wan won himself 2 pairs of tickets to the F1Rocks’s night with NERD & No Doubt. I decided to give one of the free tickets to Dila as her birthday was just a week after mine and Era, who was there with me for No Doubt concert in 1997. We had our fun and the girls saw the craZEE side of me at the concert. I was too excited to see No Doubt once again in my lifetime and boy did I party till I lost my voice.

Era wanted so much to see Beyonce and she gave us a huge surprise when she bought Dila & myself tickets for the next night’s F1Rocks as our birthday gifts! By then, I already had lost my voice. I could barely whisper. But Beyonce’s set was just enough to let you gawk at her. It’s not everyday you get to see the lady in flesh, gyrating to her hit numbers.
