Insomnia

Lame.

But I'm finding difficulties to sleep at night nowadays...seriously...I can fall asleep watching TV on the sofa, but once I lie on the bed, my eyes open WIDE.

But one thing I got to admit lah, I wake up at noon nowadays...hiak hiak hiak...

Funny, I still don't get it...c'mon, even if I wake up late everyday, how can one explain the dozing offs on the sofa, but not the bed??!!

Weird.

Hmmm now I understand how some of my friends used to suffer...you know I used to ridicule them for dintancing themselves from caffeinated drinks at nite...well at least it's just never there in my dictionary...now I know how tensed it could be trying to SLEEP...

Sigh.

OK...now I'm going to catch some football matches on ESPN and hope my player scores!!!

ZZZZZzzzzzzz.....

Sleeping Positions

Come on, everyone has their favorite sleeping positions...*wink*

I was playing the stupid Fluff Race in Facebook this whole afternoon (sooooo addicted to FB now) and Paris was sleeping just beside me. Cannot tahan see her sleeping nicely, I decided to kacau her, and shortly after that, she continued her sleep, but in a different position now.

After a few more 'kacau-ings' and a different sleeping style each time, I decided to snap her pics.

There you go, a couple of her favorite sleeping positions, brought to you, exclusively by chrissaro.blogspot.com. LOL...

你的中秋怎么过呢。。。？

Mid-autumn festival is the second most important and widely celebrated festival by the Chinese community, after the Chinese New Year. It's a time where people hold ceremonies to greet winter and worship the moon, and some enjoy mooncakes and chinese tea under the glowing moonlight. Beautiful bright lanterns can be seen everywhere at night.

I had a fairly entertaining celebration last night. Though we didn't actually celebrated it the traditional way (mooncakes and lanterns), we had lots of fun. The awesome crowd was made up of Janice's colleagues. There were 11-12 of us. Some came late. And you could have guessed, it was card games and booze all night, shortly after our dinner. Even Paris was enjoying herself last night. But too bad we did not take any pics. :(

Thanks to all who came last night, you guys are certainly wonderful and happening. And biggest thanks to Janice who made all it all happened, knowing I can't possibly celebrate it elsewhere due to my ankle. So guys, how did you celebrated your mid-autumn festival?

Not How I Thought It Would Be

Today, as planned, I went for my 3rd follow-up appointment in Pantai Cheras. Was told the plaster cast will be removed today, and so it happened. Was quite shock to see my leg in a 'malnutrition' state. I mean it's really small and thin as though I've been starving for months. In fact, I can actually see my tibia and fibula. Apparently, it's a result of my right leg not getting worked out for the past month.

Just when I thought I would be able to walk again pretty soon once the cast is taken out, I was told I need to continue using the crutches and can only move my ankle up and down (it's really stiff and painful when I tried to) for the beginning of the healing process. I need to go back in 2 weeks' time for the following follow-up. I tried to put my leg on the floor and applied 'some' body weight on it, it hurt the hell out of me! I still feel numb and a tingling sensation on the outer ankle which was operated. Quite worried of the outcome, I browsed the internet and was relieved to read that it's only natural to be in this position now, after a surgery a month ago.

Spent quite some time to clean and scrub off the dirt on my right leg. My God, my leg stinks. Finally it gets to bathe.

It's A Sick World Out There

If you've been reading the papers or watching the news on tv, you probably would have come across the shocking news of the body of a girl stuffed in a sports bag found at the staircase of a shoplot in PJ. It's really shocking and I believe most of us are angered by this, and probably majority are in a state of insecurity. It's a sick world out there. I felt sick in the stomach upon reading this. I mean what has happened to this world, more precisely in this case, Malaysia?? Are the punishments not severe enough? Are our local authorities not doing their job efficiently?? A more likely explanation is perhaps that bastard lives in a barbaric world of his own, maybe raised by beasts! Come on, even animals don't torture their own species this way. Inserting a cucumber and a brinjal in that girl's private part, gosh. F*** that bastard son of a gun!

I hope he gets the appropriate punishment and rots in hell. By the way, what kind of punishment is deemed appropriate for this kinda people? I suggest he gets a bamboo stick up his arse, all the way, out through his throat!!!

Above picture taken from our local papers. It was feared the body belongs to the missing girl Nurin Jazlin Jazimin. Anyway the frantic search for Nurin continues. Put yourself in Nurin's parents' shoes, how will you feel? Damn that asshole!!!

***Latest Update***

Nurin's parents have finally decided to accept that the body they inspected is their daughter's. Hard fact to accept especially after the DNA tests matched. Lets pray for Nurin, at least she's resting in peace now. And hopefully her parents and loved ones are able to get over this tragedy soon.

不能说的秘密 - SECRET

I'm not really a BIG fan of Jay Chou's, but I do listen to his songs and watch his movies. Have you guys watched his latest movie SECRET? Boy oh boy, I watched it twice today itself!!! Being a fan to love stories, I didn't hesitate to watch this one. Moreover, this is Jay's first try at movie directing, after several times directing his own MTVs.

The fact that Jay Chou directed this movie, got me even more interested to watch, just to see what this already-multi-talented-guy has up his sleeves. Guess what, it's not one of those lame crappy love stories, it has a BIG twist in it, and that's the SECRET in this movie. It's really catchy and you have to really pay attention to every scene and every word spoken. I didn't quite understand the first time. I'm addicted to it now. This is a great suprise, suprise of the year. Everything was so romantic and beautiful, the plot, the directing, the acting and especially the music.

Unlike his previous movies which he acted rather badly, especially in The Curse Of The Golden Flower, he triumphs in this one. You can see he's talking more and his acting has certainly gotten better by leaps and bounds. There are more facial expression from him, more lively, and what impressed me most is his piano play. Those were exceptionally brilliant! Unlike other actor/actress who has to use stand-ins when playing piano, the camera was zoomed in on Jay and there were non-stop shots of Jay playing the piano himself. The rest of the casts did a great job too. Wong Chow Sang was the spark, providing several funny scenes. The other girl SKY is really pretty. Prettier than the main actress RAIN. If I were Jay, I would have chosen SKY instead. Hahahaha...

Anyway, I guess this movie is going to hit the Chinese movie industries big time, and top the movie lists. I enjoy watching this than Transformers!! Keep an eye on this movie in the Golden Horse Awards, for I think it's going to win a couple of awards, namely The Best New Director(Jay Chou), Best Music(不能说的秘密), Best Supporting Actor(Anthony Wong), Best Actress(Guey Lun-Mei) and perhaps being nominated for the Best Movie, Best Cinematography and Best Story.

Check out its OST too. I understand the movie's OST is a limited edition. And most have been sold out! I'm addicted to his new song 不能说的秘密. Really nice. Cheers to Jay Chou, a multi-talented guy. Respect him highly for his newly found script writing and movie directing talent. Personally I really recommend this movie. But for those who are not into love stories and don't really like Jay Chou, I would advise you to keep your expectation as low as possible, so that you won't be disappointed.

Tounge Twisters

OK this is rather old and outdated, bet some of you would have gotten bored by these, but c'mon, people always say 'old ones are the best'!! Anyway, I don't know how true that is, but I came across a tongue twister this morning, and it prompted me to find the whole database of tongue twisters in the internet, just to try out the old ones which I had difficulties reading them aloud, long time ago. Guess what, I still failed miserably!!! Damn my stupid tongue.

Why not you have a try and see how many you can read correctly out of the 12 tongue twisters below. Now don't start your sheee shaaa sheee shaaa in the office alright. LOL

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."

So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw!

Awake during Sleep Paralysis (ASP)

My friend Charsiu blogged about not being able to move his body parts when he thought he has awaken from his sleep. He tried very hard to get his body up but just couldn't. Something was preventing him from moving, it's like what people always say "bei guai jak".

Come on, I am sure most of you guys have experienced this before but just didn't dare or didn't care to ask around. Personally I've experienced this few times already. I could actually hear my surroundings, I know I was on the bed, but I just couldn't open my eyes, couldn't lift my arms, legs etc. I totally panicked. But after a while, I was 'released' from being 'pinned down'.

After I did some google this morning, found this SITE that has thorough logical explanation of what actually happens each time we experience this phenomena. Read on and you'll be relieved that it's not those 'ghosts' or 'spirits' that were actually pinning you down. Now go on and have a nice sleep tonite.

Days on Crutches

Tomorrow marks the 3rd week right after my ankle surgery. It also means that I've been on crutches for 21 days. Those who think it's easy to live on crutches, you just have to ask me to know. Imagine those crippled, unfortunate people, how inconvenient it is for them. And they have to go through all these sufferings for the rest of their lives.

Well let me tell you this, instead of my normal standing stance while peeing, now I have to sit. I no longer enjoy bathing, as it hurts my back each time I have to carry my right leg in a seated position so that it doesn't get wet. Instead of helping my gf with all the house chores, now I seem helpless. All I can do is sit down and watch her sweep, mop, cook, wash, water the grass, hang the clothes, tidy this tidy that. Not only am I unable to help her, I feel that I have given her more responsibilities.

It's rather tough for her to take care of all the house chores all by herself, taking care of my meals, and not to mention her taxing office work. For example, for the last couple of days this week, she had to work till 3-4 am in the morning from home, and woke up at 8am the next morning. Absolutely no rest for her. I really pity her.

There was once the house alarm went off in the middle of the night. I jumped down from the bed straightaway, semi-conscious and not realizing that my right leg was plastered and that I can't walk! Gosh I fell flat back onto my bed, holding my right leg in awful pain. Luckily nothing serious happened, both to my ankle and to our house. False alarm, DAMN!!!

Tomorrow I will be going to Pantai Cheras Medical Center for my second follow-up session. Hopefully everything is moving towards the right direction. And my days on crutches will be over, soon, finally. I don't know, but I have the feeling that it won't be as smooth. Already I am feeling my last 2 toes are not reacting when I try to move them. Fingers crossed my feelings are wrong!

My Celebrity Look-Alikes

My friend has this in his blog. And he was asking me to try it out and blog about it. And so I uploaded my pic to MyHeritage website, and damn, this is what I got. Speechless!!! Bet you'll be surprised with the outcome as well. I was thinking of David Beckham or maybe Brad Pitt...ok dun start throwing out now...hahahaha i was just kidding ok...see it for yourself.
