.31st August; An Important Day.

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of Malaysia's Independence.
Im proud to be Malaysian.
WheeeHeee!!
Happy Birthday Malaysia!!

Sadly,
This day also marks the 10th Anniversary of the death of Princess Diana;
the people's princess,
with her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed in Paris.

For no particular reason,

Her death saddens me.

I remember crying when I heard the news...

Unsure if its becuz she died, or becuz I felt sad for the royal family.

(her kids, especially)

I never really followed Diana and her charity work around the world,

But somehow,

She touched something inside of me.

In a weird way,

I feel close to her...

And thinking about her death now still kinda tears me up.

I think thats the gift she has.

Maybe its becuz she's the only real princess I got to know about.

And becuz of all she had done,

from her warm smiles to her undying passion to reach out to people,

She showed me what it really meant to be a princess.

To be someone people look up to and love,

who used her influence to touch others in such a wonderful way.

And what made her even more lovable is that she lives a life that is very real.

She falls in love,

She has relationship problems,

She has mother-in-law issues,

She's a mother of two beautiful sons,

She's a kind spirited individual who loved life and enjoyed bringing love into other's lives...

This may sound silly,

But I really do miss Diana.

She was a true Princess...

And she still is my Princess.

My team finally had their first premier league win this morning.

The title race is not over yet.

Nani scored an awesome goal.

Tevez' deflected it A LITTLE bit, but I didnt really see it making a difference.

Oh well,

We're back on track!

GLORY GLORY MU!!

.perfume.

My favourite Impulse body mist was discontinued recently.

So I had to break my "no perfume" rule.

Well... Its not exactly a rule,

I just enjoy telling people "I dont use perfume"

(But still smell great - big thanks to my shampoo)

But ANYWAY...

Last week,

I bought myself a bottle of Perfume.

(or the first one I actually intend to use regularly)

Sheena found this one.

I smelt it off her arm and fell in lust with it.

Hmm..

Maybe that only happened cuz I smelt it off Sheena.

haHaa just teasing.

*ehem*

So yea,

I got the Guess perfume.

Its not fruity, and Im not sure if its floral.

It does have a more mature touch to it though.

Check it out if you come across perfumes sometime.

Or...

You're welcome to smell it off moi. ;)

.my little marshmellow puff.

Jimmy came back from NZ yesterday.

He had an OK trip, so he said.

Last nite,

He dropped by with a souvenier for moi.
:)

Look!

Isnt that the most funny looking sheep you've ever seen?!

I burst out laughing when he popped it in front of me.
haHaa I thought it was very cute though.
He's my new love.
We decided to name him "M&M"...
Thats the abbreviation of MarshMellow.
haHaa..

Aaaaand his nickname is Puff. :)

Jimmy just invited me to dinner at his parents.
TONITE.
aaaah maNnn... I dont know.

.series of unfortunate events.

Im a walking disaster.
Everywhere I go...
Accidents happen.
TO ME!
Thats how I feel at least... :(

In less than a year, here's the things that has happened to me.
(actually, these are just the ones I managed to capture on my cam)

So first,
The wooden door that opens to the garage in my house.
Silly me,
Putting on my slippers while holding on to the door frame.
Obviously, my fingers got in the way.
"Wham!" - now my fingers hated me...

Then the incident at work.
I was cleaning the shelf above the Crepe machine.
The stool I was standing on slipped.
I fell.
My right arm landed on the Crepe machine's hot plate.
Burnt the bejesus outta myself.
My arm hates me.
Cuz until today, the burnt mark is still there.
It's been months!


Weeks after that,
I stooooopidly walked to the bathroom from my room in the dark.
On my way back,
Stubbornly deciding to walk in the dark (a little too quickly)
I tripped on Sheena's suitcases that were placed near my door.
I couldnt find my footing cuz both feet were caught behind the bags.
I fell forward,
ramming my forehead onto my room door's stile.
I swear I saw a flash of light before I finally dropped on the floor.
I thought I would've cracked my skull or disfigured myself.

I took that pic a couple of hours later.
Dont know if u can see the bump...
But u shud have felt it.
First it sunk in, then a bump started growing...

Im pretty sure my forehead hates me.

A couple of days later,
After the bump wasn't too bad anymore,
a red blotch started forming on the side of my eye.
Im suspecting it was an after-math from the fall.
Sobs.

Then,
Months passed without a sound.
Actually, there were a couple of incidents,
but nvm...
Then TONITE...
While I was exercising with Selina in the living room,
(I was laying flat on the floor, doing stretches)
My guitar decided to slip from the side of the sofa,
Falling flat on my forehead...
EXACT SAME SIDE!!
And it was the long bit of the guitar...
You know, where the frets are. (Dont know what its reli called)
SIGH.

And yes... a bump slowly formed.
Although this time was slightly better cuz the impact wasn't too hard.
So it didn't sink in or anything.
But still, I can hear the guitar going "daaaaanngg!!" in my ears...
I felt as if I could really pass out.
Specially when Im under medication at the moment.
(lost my voice, my throat is yucky and my body is weak)

But I guess its safe to say,
My forehead hates me most.

Please tell me there isn't worse to come.

I need a break. :(

.damn start to the new season.

Manchester United is off to another bad start this season.
In 3 matches so far,
2 draws and 1 loss.

From how I see it,
Rooney was the missing link which caused the draws.
He got injured during the first half of the first match,
and is now out for 2 months.

Then Ronaldo got sent off 5 mins before the end of the 2nd match.
That weakened the team even more.
Hence, instead of another draw,
(which wouldn't be quite acceptable as well)
THEY LOST!!

And to who?
Manchester City!!!
Dammit!!

Damn the derby!
Damn their manager, Sven!
Damn the dude that injured Rooney!
Damn the ref that sent Ronaldo off!
Damn the Portsmouth players who provoked Ronaldo!
Damn Nani for not finishing well enough!
Damn Tevez for being out runned all the time!
Damn Ferguson for laughing at Sven's tactics at the pre-match interview!
Damn Ronaldo for retaliating against thet Portsmouth bimbo!
Damn the team for failing to find the back of the net!!

ARGH!!

.im a lousy friend; HELP.

Dont you hate that feeling when you suddenly think of something you really wanna blog about,
Only to find that when you finally get internet connection and time to blog,
You realise you forgot what you were gonna say?

And all you can think about is -
"Darn it! That was gonna be such a great thing to blog about!"

Sigh.
Oh Well.

Didn't end up going to EKKA today.
Went to VideoEz yesterday and picked up Season 4 of Gilmore girls instead.
Im sooo hooked!
The whole single mother and daughter thing can be so cool!
But cuz the stupid discs were only for overnight rental,
I started watching yesterday evening,
Slept for minutes the whole night,
and finally finished it before 10pm just now!
What a way to waste a whole day!

Mind you,
I did get off the couch to get food, shower and do my laundry!

Jimmy smsed me upon his arrival last nite.
Sweet of him.
And good to know we can still SMS one another.
NZ somehow feels like just another state instead of a whole different country.
I hope he's having fun.
And since we can SMS,
At least I know there's something I can do to keep myself from straying.

Sigh.
Its a week Sherlene Lee!
How hard can it be to stay on track?!

It was funny how I said to him at the airport yesterday,
"Babe... You realise, this could be our last hug anddd last kiss."
haHa he quickly gave me one of those statement kisses.
You know,
Kisses that speaks for itself.
The one he gave me felt as if it said -
"THIS is what you'd be losing if you dont stay on track"
haHa cuz then he hugged me and said "Dont flirt too much while Im away."
And I said -
"Yea Mr.Pot... You be good too."

You know,
I was looking at my previous post before I started this one,
and suddenly thought,
Maybe I shud have asked for Sheena's permission before posting that kissing pic up.
HmMm...
BUT at least I did clarify that its fake.
So, Again if you missed that,
THE PIC OF ME AND SHEENA KISSING IS FAKE!!!

And again,
Sorry guys (or some guys) for ruining the fantasy.

So you know what I've been needing help with lately?
*roll eyes at Ivan for coming up with lame and insulting ideas as he reads the above question*
Well,
I wanna know...
Cuz lately I've met many new people.
Many new NICE people that I wish to keep in my life.
But becuz they're so scatterred,
How can I possibly do that?

See for example,
I've gotten to know a few people from MYSA,
All those fun and crazy Man Utd fans.
Got to love them.
And last night, one of them, Arthur, asked me out for drinks.
But I didn't make it.

Then, Bradly from Pick and Pay,
The Hypermarket I promote in,
He asked me out for a movie this week,
I didn't make it either.

The same week,
Melissa, a girl I got to know from Jimmy,
She sent me an SMS asking how I've been.
And remembering how well we clicked the time we met,
I wouldn't mind asking her out and chilling with her if we have time.

And Stan,
Jimmy's colleague who introduced Melissa to Jimmy and I,
He's a fun guy to hang with too.
Specially when he lives just down the road,
and has gave me the thumbs up to ask him for dinner when I do eat out,
But like the rest,
I didn't get around doing that.

And there's Mouzam.
My darling Mouzam.
I love movie nights and lunch dates with him.
Where I can blab about anything,
Laugh like a pig,
and enjoy his company,
while heavily (but mutual-understandingly friendly) flirting.
But like the rest,
I could not find time to do that.

And of course,
There's Ivan.
I wouldn't blame him if he starts doubting my love for him.
So many times I thought of going to see him,
But all those thoughts,
Never put in to action!
I seriously frustrate myself becuz of it!!
Not to mention the guilt!

oooH... and Shez.
A lovely Singaporean gal I work with.
Especially being that she had just gone tru a serious family tragedy,
I told myself to take the initiative to call her and ask if she wanted to hangout,
Give her an option of a friend to confide in and etc,
cuz I do enjoy talking to her too.
(altho it has come to attention that she's been really busy catching up with Uni stuff)
But I didnt do that either!
AND SHE ONLY LIVES TWO DOORS DOWN.
Literally!!

*Im pathetic* - and a lousy friend to have!
SOBS.
Shame on me!

The only time I get to be around people I would enjoy seeing more often is when I go clubbing.

Last Friday's Cesar dance party was crap.
Crap becuz of the music.
But I have to say,
I enjoyed meeting all those people whom I probably would die before being more pro-active to actually plan a date or outing with...

And just to clarify the above statement -
I love those people I meet at the club...
They're all so much fun!
And as much as I wish I could hang out with them more,
I never take the initiative to do so!!
I dont even know why!!

Maybe thats why I like clubbing so much.
And its not an excuse.
Cuz at least...
When I do attend these Reiji events,
I know I get to see all these nice and familiar faces.

You see,
There's usually Lalat, Emyne, Pei Lin, Nicole, Amy,
Amy's 2 guy friends that I love dancing with,
Amy's girlfriend and her very friendly boyfriend,
Jason, Ryan, Marvin, Marvin's friends, JK, Jason's friends Leon and Baby face,
(damn! why cant I remember that baby face's name?!)
Sometimes Ivan, Sherman (Ivan's cousin), Shairah, Raimi,
Then there's the law crowd; Chern, Chrystalle, Alicia, Marrisa, Andrew...
And as a bonus, Jimmy would be there too, with Stan and some others.

Well, at least this Friday I get to hangout with the law bunch at Danh's party.
That should be refreshingly fun.

Geez...
I dont know why Im feeling soOo in need of socializing!
I craveeeee going out with friends!!

haHaa how pathetic am I?!

TO FRIENDS WHO READS THIS,
PLEASE DO ME A FAVOUR -

IF YOU ENJOY MY COMPANY AND WISH TO HANGOUT,
DO NOT HESSITATE TO ASK ME OUT!
THE TRICKY BIT IS,
IF I SAY NO...
GIVE ME A PUSH OR TWO.
(UNLESS I DO HAVE A LEGITIMATE REASON)
CUZ THAT MIGHT BE JUST WHAT I NEED TO GET OUT THERE!

AND IF I SAID NO ONCE BEFORE,
OR EVEN TWICE,
AND YOU STILL THINK IM FUN,
ASK AGAIN!!
CUZ I ASSURE YOU,
NEVER WOULD IT CROSS MY MIND THAT YOU'RE BEING NEEDY OR DESPERATE.
IN FACT,
I'D BE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL!!

AND I PROMISE THAT THE REASON WHY I DONT GO OUT IS NOT BECUZ IM BEING STINGY WITH MY FRIENDSHIP,
OR BECUZ I DONT LOVE YOU, (Cuz I do!)
IM JUST TOO LAZY AND IN LACK OF MOTIVATION!

SO HELP!!

oH shit...
Im yet to drop Kelly her overdued Birthday message on Friendster!
I didnt forget her Bday,
I sent her an SMS but I said I would do more,
But I didnt get around doing that!
SHIT!!

Oh kill me.

KENNY!!! JASON'S BABY FACED FRIEND'S NAME IS KENNY!!!

.taking little steps forward.

Today...

I met Jimmy's brother, Jonathan.
He's a nice guy.
Very cute.
They have the same eyes.
And I love their eyes.

Today...

I took a dump while Jimmy was around.
Im never this open with a boyfriend.
But after he passed the worst smelling gas in front of me,
(serves me right for pulling his finger)
I figured...
If he's gonna be so open,
I shouldnt hold back too.
So I went,
"honeeey... I need to poooo"
I didnt even blush. :P

Today...

I learnt that Jimmy's mum and dad's names are not their real birth names.
Like Jimmy's...
Their names were "Australianized" when they moved here from New Caledonia...
How kewl is that.

Tomorrow...

Actually today already,
and those that I've said above should technically be Yesterday,
but anywaaay...
At 5.30am,
I need to get up to send Jimmy to the airport.
He's flying off to NZ for his ski trip with friends.
I think he'll be back on the 21st.
So... that makes me... what?
Single until the 21st? HAHA...

Im looking forward to Danh's party on Friday.
Need to decide what to cook for the potluck thingie.
Suggestions?

Man Utd drew their opening match last nite.
Damn was I annoyed.
Credits to Reading tho...
Hated how they played (basically defended all the way)
But the point is, they defended and got their desired result.
We had over 20 goal attempts and they had 2!
Dammit.
And Rooney will be out for 2 months.
Bloody shitty way to start the season.
But Glory Glory United still!

Deferred exams results should be out soon.
Im soOo freaked.
Every time I think about it,
I cant help but shudder.
Fingers crossed for me peeps!

Was planning to go to EKKA on Wednesday.
The plan isn't confirmed,
But at the moment,
Thats how it seems.
Sheen? Wednesday?

The girls and I drove out to Blockbuster just now. (Last nite?)
Jimmy said,
The sight of the 3 of us walking, talking and laughing together made us look hot.
And also that we complimented each other very well...
He said it was a good sight.
Even better cuz we were walking in his direction.

I showed Jimmy the pic of me and Sheena in a lip-lock.
He got turned on.
His reaction made it so hard for me to tell him the pic was fake.
So I didnt bother.
*haHaa*
You're disappointed too now, arent ya? ^^

Bradly, who works at Pick and Pay complimented my ass.
Yay!

.updated music player.

Man Utd first match is in less than an hour.
A new season...
Im so excited!
Chelsea is currently playing Bermingham.
Its 42' on the clock and there's 4 goals already!
2-2!
Awesome first half huh?
Amazing goals too!
All the new buys seem to be worth every penny.
I noticed Chelsea got themselves a few hot guys too.

Did I mention Man Utd's new signing, Nani, is quite hot?
He wears the #17 jersey...

He does a backflip everytime he scores.
Hopefully we'll see some flips tonite.
ANDD OF COURSE...
I hope my dear ol' Baby Ronaldo scores too.
I may think Nani is hawt,
But Ronaldo is still the one. :)

Altho he got caught kissing a Bollywood star,
Bipasha Basu or something.

Im currently updating my music player.
Got a few good songs.
Nice to listen, Nice to dance to.
Check it out -

Tambourine - Eve
Shut up and Drive - Rihanna
Umbrella (Cinderella Remix) - Rihanna & Chris Brown
Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Got the last song off Sharif's myspace.
Remember that reality show hot stuff, Sharif?
He sent me a comment on myspace!!!

Anywayz
Let me know if there are more songs I shud get. :)

Brief update on my weekend -

Friday nite:
~ Dinner with Jimmy's friends, Stan and Melissa.
Had a great time.
Maybe cuz they're Malaysian and we blended perfectly.

~ Went to Cesars for anoher Reiji night.
Stayed there till... 4am.
The music was crap, but I enjoyed meeting friends there.

Saturday:
~ Went to a charity concert with Jimmy cuz his friends got us tickets.
His friend, Michael was the choreographer for the event.
Watched some cool stuff and had a blast.

Sunday:
~ Verrryy lazy oNee...
Waiting to watch MU's first match at midnight.
Enjoying Chelsea's match now though...
Great first half...
Loved watching Mourinho's face glow then crumble!
haHaa!

GLORY GLORY MU!!!
Lets defend our title!!

.love this ad; LoL.

This ad cracks me up every time.
Just thought I'd post it up,
cuz I needed a laugh and I looked it up on YouTube,
I cant believe I found it! haHaa...

Its a Kelloggs All Bran Ad. :)

Check it out -
(hope it puts a smile on ur face too)

.do i have a boyfriend?.

I've decided...
The next time I meet someone who asks me -

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

Im gonna say -

"Well, I am dating people...
But Im keeping things casual at the moment.
Kinda havent met someone with the qualities to get serious with yet."

Good answer?
Yea... I think so.

And you know what the best thing is?
IM NOT LYING.

(those who knows the current state of my love-life,
Im sure you'd be thinking Im pathetic.
Sigh. But I guess a gal's got to do, what a gal's got to do.
Cuz what Im in right now...
Its really a game for the survival of the fittest.
So if you're a pal, Wish me luck.)

.new song; whatever.

I wrote a new soNg...
Its not exactly titled yet.
Didn't wanna call it "What Do I Do" cuz it sounds lame.
Kinda wanna use a title that has a deeper meaning,
but isn't obvious from listening to the song.

You know,
Like Panic! At the Disco's songs.
"I write sins, not tragedies"...
They never mentioned those words in the song.
But still, the reason why the song was named that way is still there.

So yeaaa..
I'll think about it some more.

So this song was written,
kinda as a sequel from my last song "Song for a Stranger".
(Which is also named the P!ATD way ^^)

I was gonna call this song "Stranger no more",
but its kindaaa... too vague.
BUT ANYWAY...
The song was inspired and written for Jimmy.
Wrote it in time with our 3 months-since-we-first-met celebration.
I recorded it on my MP3 and he got to be the first to hear it.
He likes it, so he says.
(Well.. I guess he can't really say he doesn't.)

ANYWAY...
Here it is -



Funny thing that happened last nite tho...
He was listening to the song last nite,
and at the last bit when I said -

"Should I be falling for you?"...

- Jimmy almost too quickly said,
"No... you'd be silly to."

Thennnn... he laughed and said,
"you should stumble."

*sigh*
So fake.
OH WELL.
I wont fall.
I WONT.

.random but connected.

MYSA had their 2nd Semester Welcome BBQ today.

I had fun.
Met lots of people,
Played a few games, (or more like, conducted)
Said "Hey" to a couple of cute guys,
Had after-BBQ drinks with a few other members,
and basically had a good day socializing.

Photos of the event will be posted on the MYSA website soon.
So if you're interested at all,
The link to MYSA's homepage is to the right of this page.

*RANDOM*
Friday night...
Jimmy and I almost got in an argument.
Well, we didn't end up arguing,
Although we got really frustrated with each other.
At the end,
Jimmy drove over from the Coast,
Brought me a box of chocolate, (Cadbury Roses)
and we made up. :)

Im currently watching the 2nd half of the FA Charity Shield.
Man Utd v Chelsea.
Good stuff.
Current score: 1-1 at 56'.
Ronaldo's hair looks really flat.
Not a good look to start the season baby.

Talkin about baby,
Today (or more like the 5th) marks the 3rd month since I first met Jimmy.
It was cute cuz Yesterday, (or the day before)
Which was a Saturday,
Jimmy sent me to work and hung around PickNPay for a bit.
I met him halfway during work,
around the same area where I met him exactly 12 weeks ago.

It was like de javu,
A great oNe.
(I didnt know DeJavu was French,
Apparent it means "Already happened" or something like that?)

And talking about that day at work,
Lotsa fun things happened.
Apparently the uber-great feeling I woke up with was accentuated in my every step.
It felt like I left a trail wherever I went,
and guys just went... "oOoo... trail.... yuMmm..."
haHaa
*wink wink*

Anywayz,
For Jimmy and I's 3 months,
I wrote him a song.
:)
He listened to it twice before going to bed.
He says he likes it.

Well, I'll find time to record and upload it on YouTube as soon as I can.
Then you can tell me if you like it too.
(or if Jimmy was just being nice)

.sherlene; the life she wants.

Listening to - The Moffatt's Love
Mood - Content, but tired
__

You know...
I'm more traditional than I think.
I actually do dream for a rather traditional path for my future.

Husband, Kids, a job...
Then there's the house, the car to send my kids to school in,
playgrounds and family board games.
TV nights where we all go crazy cheering for Man Utd. (can't forget MU!)
And then there's baby sitters and weekends away with my hubby,
away from work and the kids.

Preferably my parents or my hubby's parents would love the caretaker job.
And would love it if my kids are close to their grandparents,
and their grandparents love having them around.

*sigh*

OH weLL...
But if I end up with non of the above,
its alrite.
...
....
...

Who am I kidding?!
Its NOT ALRITE!
I want ALL THE ABOVE.

heHhee... *blush*
Okay fineee...
I'll live.
