One of the biggest movie stars of all time, Dame Elizabeth Taylor was glamorous, at times notorious and famous for many things: being a child actress who made the successful but rare transition to full-fledged movie-stardom, an object of desire,a glamorous international superstar and a much-respected HIV/AIDS activist.
Over a period of nearly 60 years, Taylor played women af all walks of life--from haughty to naughty. It carried over into her personal life. She was married multiple times and caused a huge scandal when she started an affair with costar Richard Burton (who she eventually married, later divorced and then remarried) while both were married to other people.
Famous also for her off-screen life as much as her cinematic roles, she did as much as anyone to give the term 'celebrity' its relevance in an era when that association actually carried real significance.
On top of it all, the violet-eyed film star really knew how to light up a room as well as a film. Her career slowed in the 1970s, but then she had a new role to play: Being Elizabeth Taylor and she played it marvelously.

LOVE IS FunnY BUT SOMETIMES ITS HURTS!!
Love is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard like when you fall in love with someone but they forget to love you back, like when your boyfriend or girlfriend treats you badly but you ask for their forgiveness and blame yourself instead, like when your lover proclaims to love you unconditionally but he or she just can’t stop criticizing you, like when you try to convince yourself that you are significant to your significant other despite the fact that he or she doesn’t even care about you. Love is funny sometimes, but you can’t laugh because it hurts so badly. Love is funny sometimes, but you can’t laugh because you are actually the laughingstock of it.
“T.H. White said, perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically… to those who hardly think about us in return.” Like a child who will always forgive his father for working so hard and always forgets his birthday, a mother who will always be waiting so patiently for her long lost SiTenggang to come home during Hari Raya, a lover who will always put up with the unattached, self-absorbed, pleasure-seeking partner who doesn’t know how to treat her right.
You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing or person is about to be taken away from us that we've realized how wrong we've been, that we realized how much we need it, how much we love it. Like a father who has missed his son’s graduation, a mother who has had a miscarriage because of her alcohol and smoking habits, a narcissistic model who was so arrogant and in a blink of an eye has lost her beauty in an accident, a boyfriend who has taken his girlfriend for granted and when she finally decided to go, only then he started to miss her so badly. A breakup. A death.
Love is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard but if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the lyrics of songs and in the eyes of someone you love.
Love is funny sometimes, but if you're lucky, if you're really, really lucky, the person you love will to love you back.
Appreciate your loved ones today because tomorrow it might be too late.
Say "I love you" to them now cause you don't know what might happen later.
Cherish every moment you spend with them and keep it in your memory.
I feel a bit cranky and restless due to lack of sleep. Oh my, look at the damage Ive done to my self! Look at these eye bags, ugh! I've tried everything to shut my eyes to sleep so that i can recharge my energy and be in a good mood the next day. Even drinking milk and reading boring books don't work. I just can't friggin' sleep. Oh, shall I blame it on the internet- the distraction of modern life, for keeping me awake the whole night? Hello, insomnia. Nice to meet you, very 'nice' indeed. Ppppfffttt. Erratic sleep does take a toll on my health. Now I look like a zombie. A fat zombie. A very fat, fugly, boring zombie. Oh dear.
Btw, I'm thinking about cutting my hair short. I've always had long hair my whole life! So, I want to try a new look, with short hair. But 80% of the respondents disagreed. One particular respondent strongly disagreed, saying that I look friggin ugly with short hair. Menyampah gila tgk, burok gila ko rambut mcmtu (Accap, 2009). Tsk. Baik lah sy sedar (T_T) I received quite a number of comments about my short hair vs. long hair but i'm still confused.
You know, being 23 (or should i say, 24?) is really depressing. I feel old, really. During this time of the year, yes it's already december mind you, school holidays, semester break and whatnot, I've got soooo many wedding invitations from my dear friends! Oh come on, chillex! It is still quite early to get married, no? Teeet, wrong! Everybody is soooo getting married! And I started to freak out, really, seriously. What happens to I-want-to-pursue-my-phd-before-I-get-married or I'd-like-to-enjoy-my-single-life-a-little-longer or hey-i-don't-wanna-rush-into-things-and-i-want-to-keep-my-options-open? Smorg libido dah rising to the peak eh? *sigh356times* (cis, itu nama dia dah jodoh dan kau yg jodoh ntah bila nk sampai jgn nk jeles! -_-")
So I had this conversation with a friend, Q. And I told him that I've made a plan to escape. Like when december comes, I'll plan a getaway, hibernating in a cave or something. Tsk. Reality hurts but whattehell, I should just try to soldier on. It's okay darlings. I'll definitely go to your weddings. Mana tau berjumpa jodoh di
And oh it makes me wonder, if you have different life values/views with your partner, can you two be together, happily everrr afterrr? You know, like when you have different opinions on issues. You see things differently, you two have different perspectives on life. For me, it is okay. In fact, it can be a good thing, the catalyst of your relationship progression. I am argumentative. I like to argue, a lot. And I look up to a partner who takes a strong stand on what he think is right, who can come up with reasons to justify his claims and respects my opinions at the same time. And I like to ask, a lot. That way, I gain a lot of knowledge and useful inputs. And if he is wrong, or if he does not have the answer to my question, then he has to admit it and we can explore things together. It is a good thing, right? Like two magnets with different charges attracted to each other.
But what if the two of you just don't share the same outlook on what is important in life. You want different things in life. Your life's principles are different, like, your partner is a heavy smoker, he can't live without puffing tobacco and burning off his lungs and exhaling carbon monoxide, but you really think he should stop smoking because you don't wanna be a victim of second hand smoke, inhaling carbon monoxide thank you very much, which can cause you (and your cute kids) lung cancer. So, how would you deal with this kind of issue?
I think toleration is the key. Both parties have to tolerate and compromise. You can't just expect him to stop smoking right there and then. Give him time. It's not easy for a tobacco addict to stop smoking but that shouldn't be the excuse either. It's not easy but it is possible. Or, if you just can't compromise due to your health condition, then you have to find a partner who doesn't smoke ciggie, leaving him 2 options, losing you or stop smoking.
However, if the issues are on religious matters, then you should NOT compromise. Like, drinking alcohol. If dah kawen dan bakal atau sudah menjadi bapa pon still menoggak cheap beers (or expensive liquor), pergi clubbing budget kau bujang lagi dan tak mahu berubah, susah lah. Dude, you are the leader of the family, bear that in mind! Ppffftt.
And of course we have certain expectations or criteria that our partner has to meet
Most women tend to be blinded by the so-called strong feelings. Like, just by looking at him, your heart skips a beat and you can't seem to get him off of your mind 24/7, or just by hearing his name, you can't stop smiling. Is it love? You sooo want to marry this person and devote your life to him and have his babies! But wait, red alert, ladies! Don't just look at how do you feel about him, look at how he treats you. You have to varify your feelings with facts. If he can't treat you right, don't give yourself excuses like, "he doesn't call or text me, it doesn't mean he doesn't care, he is just busy." Pppffttt. (Sila baca "dia memang tidak sgt ke dalam kau" dan "awas, jangan dibelenggu lagi!")
Okay, he might have treated you well. But you also have to look at how he confronts a situation, how he deals with problems, how he tackles the mysteries of life, how he treats other people. He might be masking his actual behavior with all the sweet talks and "good deeds" to you just to win your heart, dear. Bila dah kawen, he will show his true colour. So, look for a partner who deals with the world in a way you respect.
Compatibility is really important, lovers! Look for a partner who can bring laughter to your life, who laughs with you, not who laughs AT you. Laughter brings magic to your relationship or marriage. Really. After a long day at work, when you have had a bad day, when everything didn't go your way, you just need a partner who can lighten you up, laughs together about that shit and makes you feel better.
Yes, getting married is like whohooo yay kawen!! But choosing the right partner to spend your whole life with, is FREAKING DIFFICULT. Getting married is not just about the licence to have legal sex, having cute babies, or having someone to do your laundry or cook for you. Marriage is a synonym of responsibility. And responsibility is a BIG word. It is all about responsibility and COMMITMENT. So, are you ready for the togetherness?
And for all the newlyweds, congratulations! May 'for better or worse' be far better than worse :)
At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are lonely, some are having good company, some hate the world, some live life to the fullest, some are lying to others, others are just learning to face the truth. Some have found new love, others are heartbroken. Some are moving on, others are still holding back. Some bitch about others and some are good, struggling with the bad. Some are loved, and some have lost love. Some fall in love and others fall out of love. 6 billion people in the world. 6 billion souls. And sometimes, all you need is one :)
You know, it brings tears to my eyes seeing old couple hoding hands ;')
I'm Awesome
I don't regret anything from my past, no matter how bad it seems in hindsight, because every little step I took was leading me right where i am now :)

Unconditional Love (n_n)
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apple and took a nap under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree love to play with him.
Time went by..
The little boy had grown up and no longer played around the tree everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.
"Come and played with me," the tree asked the boy
"I am no longer a kid. I don't play around trees anymore."
The boy replied, I want toys, I need money to buy them."
"Sorry, I don't have money, but u can pick all my apples and sell them. So u will have money."
The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boys never came back after he picked the apples.
The tree was very sad. One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.
"Come and played with me," the tree said
I don't have time to played, I haved to work for my family. We need a house shelter. Can you help me??"
"Sorry but I don't have a house. But u can chop all my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree is glad.
"Come and playnwith me," the tree said
"I am sad getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can u give me a boat?"
"Use my trunk to build your boat, u can sail far away and be happy"
So, the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.
"Sorry my boy, I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you," the tree said
"I don't have teeth to bite," the boy replied
"No more trunk for you to climb on", the tree said
"I really can't give you anything. The only thing left is my dying roots," said the tree
"I don't need much now, just a place to rest," the boy replied.
"Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean and rest. Come, come and sit down here with me and rest"
The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears
This is a st0ry of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad. When we are grown up, we left them, only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think the is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents..

The Best Answer Come From The Best Knower..
Well, it wasn't quiet nothing with me. The reason I blushed so hard before was that I do have a photo. Last night I'd noticed that at the manor there were lots of pictures my friends especially Fasha, and Wit. And sometimes I take the picture out and stair at it and talk to it and sometimes he answers. But the hard questions like do you love me he doesn't answer. I know why, because how can he love me when he doesn't know me. HERMM.. quietly difficult to think about it and it's very complicated. Only I can get the best answers from the best knower. Hopefully.. and the best way I must always pray so that I can get the answers from Him. Sometimes, I wonder alot if he's got a picture's of me. I don't see how he could have, unless he's stolen one from my friends Bainie or bby the way I did.
Now, I've been thinking about Bainie. I trying to remember good things, to stop from thinking maybe she's forgetting me.. because long time no see and no news from her and I very2 miss her damn.. and sometimes I'm also thinking about my old friends, especially my dearest Sofi. I miss you a bunch and a bundle and a barrel and a heap. And I hope one day you and I will be able to see each other again and the meantime I'm still your best friends even now you have a new friends there. Hehehe.. Still Friendship Forever, Sofi n miss U so muchhh!.. ;)

PriVatE MYSeLF.. =)
Actually I like the idea of writing about myself. This that I've written so far is for myself. When I've torn it out I'll selotape it into an old notebook from my old school. I'm going to watch My Girl and start my homework again in my proper book. I can't hand this in. I'll have to tear the pages out and that means pages drop out of the back. I wish my lecturer's because he had asked us to write a made-up story because I love making up stories almost as much as I love drawing. It's just so stupid, asking us to write like an essays for homework. It's not even a weekend!!! I remember enough things in my life to keep me writing for about million hours. I don't write fast because I don't have nothing an idea to start it. haaaarrhh...
When I moaned about the homework, my friends said she had'nt ment we should write our whole life story. She just ment the main things, like what we look like and where we born and about our homes and families and pets or stuffs. But sometimes I could'nt write about that because it's very2 private. Lastly, I've decide to write my future life in here. So, I'll can write something interesting and wish my dreams become believed true...ermm God willing, AMINN..

FRiENDS 4EvA
"When a friend hurts us, we should write his deeds in the sand,
Where the winds of forgivenss can blow it away, and
When a friend does something good we should engrave it in stone,
Where it shall remain for eternity."
