Just a note

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,

a smile,

a kind word,

a listening ear,

an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

-Leo Buscaglia-

World cutest prayer

One day at a time....

one day at a time - this is enough

do not look back

and grieve over the past,

for it is gone,

and do not be troubled

over the future,

for it has not yet come.

live in the present,

and make it so beautiful

that it will be worth remembering.

Tribute to PGL

ok... this post is my tribute to PGL... as we were not allowed to take any photos during the show.. the pixs are taken from their website www.pglthemusical.com.my

langit malam tidak mampu sembunyi,
terang bulan yg berseri-seri
ku bersaksi pertemuan ini
indah melampaui bidadari

di sini resah jiwaku tenggelam,
wajahmu disambut bayu malam
bulan jadi cerminan diri
rindui bintang penyeri hati

mata demi mata
berguguran bicara
kata demi kata
merubah tutur jadi rasa
hanya keasyikan
pada kewujudannya
nafas dan nadi tak terhenti
pertemuan ini kian terasa bagai bererti

kaulah segala-galanya
makna di dalam hidupku
detik ini telah lama sudah ku tunggu
hangat sentuhanmu melerai rindu
kasih di sini kuserahkan
jiwa , raga dan pengabdian
cinta utk mu segalanya
demi utk bersama
dipangkuan mu kasih
kerana mu kekasih

event... Part 2

i think u noticed that i'm supposed to post the FOURPLAY pix kat entry sebelum ni... tp tak tau la kenapa tak boleh.... nway, will post it here...

from left: Bob James, Nathan East, Larry Carlton & Harvey Mason

kat Philharmonic pun lebih kurang camni la... this pix taken fr their website

ok... enuf abt FOURPLAY.... on Thurs, i went to watch PGL ... and yes, again!!! hehehe... i'm one of the culprit yg habiskan tiket... but again.... CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!... phewitttt!!! they are EXCELLENTE as before... or should i say better... i'm lucky the nite i went tu... its the same full main cast... so, boleh la compare... 2 thumbs up to zahim & roslan... u guys hv made it again... and i think after this they are goin to s'pore... good! good!...

they hv made improvements on the effects... lighting, backdrops... which make the whole show better... rather impressive too! and the singing is definitely an improvement... from everybody... even tiara sounds better now... heheh... needless to comment la kan... on my gorgeous Hang Tuah... i think he does loose weight coz his baju pendekar doesn't really stick to his body as before... he looks YUMMYLICIOUS!! muahahhaa....

ok.. i'm having problem posting pixs again... so, will do it in the next entry..

.. events... and more social events.. Part 1

..it has been a busy week last week... full with work + social events... hmmm... coincidently everything happens in the same week... not complaining though...

on tuesday, i've attended the International Islamic Financing Convention held in Mandarin Oriental.. the event was organised by BNM, SC, LOFSA and BURSA... its basically one of the move made by policy makers in M'sia to promote M'sia as an Islamic Financial Centre in the region... it was indeed a good exposure to me to meet big shots from various organisation & also the experts in the field themselves... the panel invited to address and discuss the issues came from all over the world... some of this experts are not even muslim and they know the "in & out" of islamic financing... which i hv very little knowledge of...

one interesting point that they hv highlighted is on the fact that if the world uses islamic finance principal, the economic problems thats been facing the world right now will not exist... as in islam things have to be transparent, just & not based on speculation.. right now, in middle east there are 75 diff scholars who preach the islamic finance principal... imagine that... 75 diff views and opinion... i guess this is due to interpretation of the Quran & hadith...

u know u'll meet old frens when u go to seminars & conventions... i've met a few... old classmates, old frens... whose looking very successful or in the midst of climbing the corporate ladder... but i've never thot i'll meet this guy... it has been more than 20 yrs since i last saw him... budak SBP mana yg tak kenal dia... all girls wanna be around him... kira mmg glamer giler la dulu2 masa hi-school... ARUL KANDASAMY... he was one of the panels... currently he's the Head of Islamic Banking in Bahrain... but i'm not surprised he is what he is today... even before u can see his charismatic & leadership character... and i think being in RMC does help mold him to become that person today...

anyhow, the convention has open my mind to know more abt islamic finance... partly bcoz of knowledge & partly as a muslim i feel its a reponsibility to learn & to promote the teachings of Islam, InsyaAllah one day..... may Allah give me the strength and guide me accordingly to achieve this mission of mine..

ok... on a more relax note... that nite i went to watch FOURPLAY at Philharmonic... they are actually playing modern jazz and since i haven't been to philharmonic... so, i thot... why not?? tickets were not that expensive... we bought the RM60 and i'm totally, totally satisfied... with the performance and all eventho it started 1/2 hr late... but, its well worth it...

i know when i mention the word "jazz" everybody was saying they haven't reach that age... not their cup of tea... but, hey!! why not give it a shot... u may not know it when u don't try... plus this is a life performance ok.... not hearing it from a cd... its totally different... u can see the expression... dengan feel dia... the interaction... add up all this with the ambience, its sumthin different ... trust me!! the group plays contemporary jazz... so, if ur a fan of music with loud bass & the sound of electric guitar & keyboard plus drumbeats... u'll definitely enjoy this... I DID!!! there was not a time my head or body not moving to the beat... the way they play it will definitely leave u grooving all nite long... even after it ends, the sounds still stays in my head... they played their own rendition of "Stings - Fields of Gold"... best giler!!!

ok, they don't allow us to take pixs in philharmonic... so i got this pixs from the website.. there are 4 of them in the group... fr left, BOB JAMES on keyboard (he's truly... truly amazing), NATHAN EAST on bass (he interacts with the crowd.. most of the time), LARRY CARLTON on guitar (kalah mat2 rockers kat sini kalau nak compare the way he played.... my eyes were practically on him most of the time) and last but not least, HARVEY MASON on drums (i miscount how many times drumstick dia tercampak... really into it!!)...

in one simple word.... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! i really had a great time....

I wish for...

I wish for ---

contentment

solace

comfort

support

trust

peacefulness

kindness

laughter & joy

happiness

unforgettable memories

tranquility

sincere friendship

kindness

good health

time for family & frens

But, most of all,

I wish for --

everlasting love.

What kind of Girl are you?

You are a Career Girl!

You may not be a CEO yet, but you're well on your way to success.You take your career seriously, and you wouldn't stop working for any guy!An independent woman, you pay for your own car, clothes, and housing.And men appreciate that - at least, the ones as driven as you are.

What Kind of Girl Are You?

Did I marry the right person?

receive an email on this topic today fr a fren... reading thru it, i find it very true and logical... so, will "copy&paste" the discussion here... to share it with more ppl...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

****THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.****

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable...you can "make" love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

so, what do u think?? hmmm... i'm not married yet but it definitely make me think... when we (or specifically me) first learn abt love & relationship... i definitely 100% think that u need to be madly head over heels in love with a person to get married & after that live happily ever after... but, being more matured now (or being able to use the brain ahead of heart in making decision).. i know being in love is not enuf as love fades or die... i think thats a normal human process... u need to have a bigger stronger reason to stay in love... and this definitely couldn't be based on looks or physical attribute...

love alone is not enuf to sustain the relationship... i guess thats where companionship, doing things together, having the same passion or goals in life... comes in handy... like ppl alwiz say, its the small things that count... need not be the obvious ones... maybe a small gesture... showing appreciation... showing that u care... some ppl are able to show their feelings but some don't... but that couldn't be used as a reason right?? whatever it is... not to take things for granted... the change in ur partner's behaviour may indicate changes in the feelings... who knows... when u found out later, it maybe too late... ur out of love...

second thing i learn from ppl's experience... getting married is actually a beginning of a new life... not the end of the trails of the love problem... its just taking the relationship to the next level... its "taking the leap of faith"... as u don't know if they will change or maybe u'll change.... whatever it is... just don't loose hope and keep on trying... esp when u feel its worth to still be in love...

sense of emptiness

this mornin... walking towards my workstation... suddenly i realised... there's sumthin missing... hmmm.... this is not right... where is it??? i was searching for it high and low.... but still couldn't find it.... the area seems so empty... if not, it will be the first place i'll drop by... when i'm tense, i'll be playing with it.... looking at it alone can take your mind away far away from the office chaos...

but now... its no longer there... the place really look empty... i hv not say my goodbyes... i never thot i'm gonna miss it's presence so much.... well, what can i do....

this entry is for my beloved office ikan sepat pet "RAMON".... may it be happy at its new place in Kedah... sob... sob...

Takziah

this mornin receive sms fr dear fren informing us that her mother-in-law passed away... takziah buat keluarga ali+mona... semoga roh ibunya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan dikalangan hamba2nya yg beriman...

balik office... was informed yg another colleague pun father dia passed away yesterday... takziah also pada keluarga annie... semoga roh ayahnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan org beriman...

AL FATIHAH

I was driving back home last night, when I noticed how magnificent the moon look from afar.... its bright, bigger than usual and definitely eye-catching.... rasanya dah few days it was a "total full moon"... i wanted to snap some shots, but my camera just couldn't capture the view... hv to wait for my "photographer-manic fren" to do that with her dslr... masa2 ni la terasa betul nak beli dslr... heh...

Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin

After Sanay Wala Nang Wakas... i wasn't really following any of the Filipinos soaps... but yesterday was the first preview of these series... reason for watching... definitely sbb ada my hunk Diether Ocampo... cuma this time not with his "hon" as the leading actress... but its claudine barretto... who is also a great actress... so, if u're a filipino soap freak... dont forget to watch this at Prima 9pm every weekdays... another round of crying and long nites for me i guess (since i dont think i can make it at 9).... enjoy....

saja jer nak letak gambar diether.... heh

cute...

i think this is soooo cute..... hehehe....

Thanks Part 2

This is for my colleagues who hv been so sweet taking time out of their busy schedule to celebrate my day.... THANKS!!!

"Thank you" is one of those wonderful phrases

people use to express a special gratitude.
But there's often a lot more to it

than those two words can say.
When it comes from the heart, from deep inside

the nicest feelings and the most special thoughts,

"Thank you" means so much.

It means thank you for taking the time to show

that you care.
It means "you really made my day,"

and sometimes it means that you really make all

the days so much better.

It means you make me feel so nice,

and I wish I could do the same for you

...just by letting you know how much you mean to me.

"Thank you" means you didn't have to

...but I'm so grateful that you did.

"Thank you" means that you've done something special

that I'll never forget.

Thanks...

Happy Birthday to you!
If wrinkles must be written upon our brows,

let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.

May Allah Bless You Always
Love,

XXXX

The great save

Faith

Life isn't always easy.
No one ever promised that it would be.
But it can be wonderful at times,
and it is up to us to make those times happen.
Where? Beginning within,
When? With the dawn of each new day.
How? Listen to your heart . . .
and it really will show you the way.

can dream come true??? ntah la.... but i do hope it will... again... it happen once before... so if i'm asking for another one??? is that too much to ask.... for now its still a question mark....

Demi Waktu

Aku yg tak pernah bisa lupakan dirinya

Yang kini hadir diantara kita

Namunku juga takan bisa

menepis bayangmu

yang slama ini temani hidupku....

Maafkan aku...

menduakan cintamu

Berat rasa hatiku...

tinggalkan dirinya....

Dan demi waktu...

yang bergulir disampingmu

Maafkanlah diriku...

setulus hatimu

Seandainya bila kubisa memilih

Kalau saja waktu itu

Kutak jumpa dirinya

Mungkin semua takan seperti ini

Dirimu dan dirinya kini

Ada dihatiku

Membawa aku dalam kehancuran

Maafkan aku...

menduakan cintamu

Berat rasa hatiku...

tinggalkan dirinya....

Dan demi waktu...

yang bergulir disampingmu

Maafkanlah diriku...

setulus hatimu

seandainya bila kubisa memilih

Merawat Luka Terpendam

Merawat luka yang terpendam

Kesannya masih berdarah

Hendak ku tangiskan tiada pedih

Yang telah terjadi padaku

Pasrah aku terima

* Kau hujankan penghinaan

Aku renjis kesabaran

Aku curah pertanyaan

Adakah bahagia nanti akan menyingkir hiba

Dalam ribut ada hina

Dalam tenang ada sabar

Dalam tangis sendirian

Berkemungkinankan bahagia nanti akan menyusur tiba

Bukan ku mengundang bencana

Juga tak ku menabur dosa

Tak dapat dinafi kebetulan

Dugaan menimpa diriku

Rela aku terima

repeat *

... hmmm... dalam tu maksud dia... heh..

Its Monday again...

guess what... its Monday again... time flies real fast these days... at the end of a busy day like today i will usually take time and wonder what hv i done for the day... NOTHING MUCH!!! u're like grasping and running behind time... wishing there's more.... there's a reason why i'm looking at the clock's ticking... partly maybe bcoz i realise wrinkles has started to show off itself at certain part of the face *sigh* hehe... and when you see ur small tiny cousin that u used to baby-sit before becoming a teenager... u start realising that u're getting older... heh... selama nih perasan muda habis2...

i was looking at old photos... hoping i can still fit into those clothes again... muahahah... memories rushing back and i do wish i could turn back time and erase some of the memories... but, without realising... i actually matured thanks to those hard and difficult times... now at this point of time, only a quarter of the journey... i've gained and loose myself in living and striving for what i believe in... some worth while and some just a waste of time... there are still a lot more that i wanna achieve... to be a better person... to hv a good family... to contribute back to ppl around me.. family, frens, strangers...

hmmm.... what am i babbling here... i pun x tahu... i guess... its the Monday BLUES!! better stop writing, start packing.... and CHIOW!!!

bye... till my next entry...

PGL

Life journey

"Everyday is a new day....

take charge of your life!!!

Yesterday is history...

learn from the past but move forward...

and don't look back..

baby steps one at a time

it will be difficult.. and painfull

but every single sweat and tears are worth while

when u reach ur final destination"

Bad day - Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we needed the most

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue skies fade to grey

They tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're faking a smile with the coffee to go

You tell me your life's been way off line

You're falling to pieces everytime

And I don't need no carryin' on

Chorus:

Cause you had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday

The point is they laugh at what you say

And I don't need no carryin' on

Repeat Chorus

Sometimes the system goes on the blink

And the whole thing turns out wrong

You might not make it back and you know

That you could be well oh that strong

And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most

Oh you and I

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Repeat Chorus

kept on listening to this song today... dalam kereta... kat BSC... the closing song for American Idol...

Bitchology

Got this email fr a close fren... interesting... hehe
--------------------------------------------------------------

* BITCHOLOGY *

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way,
they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am
defined as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being
everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I
truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I
"should" be.

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and
there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash
every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am
proud to bear it.

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself


B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman


B = Bold
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

.... hmmm.... so, i guess.... i am a B.I.T.C.H....

freindship and love?

i was reading Yasmin's blog and come across this posting of hers abt her new film "Mukhsin"... the story is abt Mukhsin a 13-yr old boy who develops romantic feelings towards his good old childhood fren...sounds familiar??

i think when a girl & a guy are really close, there's a really thin line between frenship and love... of which u may not realise and sometimes get confused with it too... i've experienced that few times... as i kept on getting involve romantically with my male best frens... :) ... bukan semua la, some still remain as best buddies...

but, venturing into the fren/love relationship is not sumthin simple... its confusing as you dont really know whether your love & care is just normal fren-love or love-love... and its definitely a no-no to bring up the question... something as beautiful as Love can threaten to end something else that's just as beautiful - Friendship....

the good thing - when u're a couple, its almost everythin u want... your partner is ur lover, your soulmate...

but, the bad thing - usually when the relationship ends so does the frenship.... sayang kan

well, what to do... thats the risk as things no longer be the same... will take efforts fr both sides to build back the frenship... to forgive and forget and to start anew...

sbb tu la kot ppl avoid crossing the line.... thinking whether is it worth it to discover that feeling in the expense of loosing the frenship that u have??? only time will tell...

arghhhhhhh.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

marahnyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! i was so pissed off yesterday... ngan ***bank... my loan officer suddenly call and ckp ada problem pasal my credit card... apparently i'm being blacklisted bcoz of my cr card overdue debts... pikir2 yg mana satu... semua tak jive.... suddenly remember pasal this one card yg the bank dah pre-approve tp i tak ambik... check punya check, confirm its relating to that.... apalagi, terus ler angkat telefon and ask them to explain... dah la they don't take u seriously when u call and make complaints... and now this!!!! thats too much laa.... habis angin satu badan... heh...

pagi2 lagi tadi dah draft complaint letter... siap mintak legal advice from x-lawyer fren lagi... dont wanna put down the wrong thing kan.... dah fax and still awaiting their response... by lunch, dah cool sket la....

lesson learnt:
- alwiz do things in writing; do not depend on phone call to CSR... not so effective
- when u get pre-approve cards, alwiz reply in writing when u decline
- alwiz pay cr card bill on time every mth.. they will accumulate ur mths in arrears till you discontinue ur card usage... this will affect ur credit rating... determine if u're a good/bad paymaster

apapun.... nowadays, hv everythin in writing.... coz u never know whats gonna happen in the future.... i've learn my lesson... cr cards may be convenient, but its also a menace if u dont ctrl ur debt... i'll try to be a cash person fr now onwards...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
update: got a letter from the bank after 2 weeks... with their sincere apologies and promised to uplift my name from being blacklisted.... well, Thank God.... but this lesson really taught me to be careful next time and just not take things for granted...

Tiada Lagi.....

Tiada Lagi -Amy search

Sia-sia saja...
Kita jalin cinta
Bila hati selalu berbeda

Sampai kapan lagi
Aku harus menahan
Rasa kecewa di dalam dada

Seandainya kita masih bersatu
Tak mungkinkan menyatu
Walau masih ada sisa cinta
Biarkan saja berakhir sampai
Di sini

Tiada lagi yang ku harapkan
Tiada lagi yang ku impikan
Biar aku sendiri tanpa diri mu
Tiada lagi kata cintamu
Takkan lagi ku bersama mu
Biar ku simpan semua
Kenangan ku bersamamu...

Smile!!!!

Have a good weekend everybody......!!!

hopelessly devoted to you.....

Guess mine is not

The first heart broken

My eyes are not the first to cry

I'm not the first to know

There's just no getting over you

I know I'm just A fool who's willing

To sit around and wait for you

But baby can't you see

There's nothing else for me to do

I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's nowhere to hide

Since you pushed my love aside

I'm out of my head

Hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you My head is saying

Fool forget him

My heart is saying don't let go

Hold on to the end

And that's what I intend to do

I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's no where to hide

Since you pushed my love aside

I'm out of my head

Hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you

reminiscence of john travolta and olivia newton in GREASE... which was bring to life again last nite in its musical play... the famous danny zuko and sandy dancing and singing in 50's outset...

yesterday was the 1st time i was in kl convention center... dah la sampai betul2 pukul 8.30... kelam kabut la jugak... this time it was handle by an event co called Yvents!, a new established event co... i dunno why they choose KL convention instead of istana budaya... but, the place was HUGE!!!!... with very modern design... rather impressive... ngan penyambut tetamu la... one of m'sia's great architecture...

ok... now abt the show... what shall i say... ok la.... so-so... but, i think i like istana budaya better... its more theatre frenly... kat plenary hall tuh... stage kecik sket and the hall is HUGE... yg tak bestnya dia takde control room... so org yg jaga sound tu was placed in the middle of the hall kat walkway... its quite distracting jugak la... cahaya from the computer tuh... ambience dia tak rasa mcm tgk theatre.. more of cam tgk concert... sbb tu prefer istana budaya punya outset..

anyhow, the dancing and singing was thumbs up... suara sorang2... pergh!! power!!! 2 hrs seems like a breeze... mcm tak puas jer tgk... i took some video clippings, but don't know how to put it here....

some pix taken during the show..

upgrade...upgrade... spend... spend..

i'm thinking of upgrading my camera... from a compact camera to prosumer... not that soon la... earliest pun maybe end of the yr la... ish, ish... byknya dalam to-buy-list ni....heh..

but, nway... the intention comes abt after my cameron trip... i took lots of flower pixs... its so leceh la sbb camera kecik kan... sket2 goyang... esp bila nak ambik gambar bees yg tgh ambik madu bunga tuh... my God, terpusing2 tangan nak ambik shot... manage to do it though... and pix turn out ok la... not so bad... but looking at those pix i realise that i really enjoy taking nature pix.. sunset, panoramic, flowers... even cactus... me not so good with potraits or ppl pix... tak dapat pun nak capture "moments" cam pro2 buat tuh... nanti la... kumpul duit dulu and browse around.. buy one good one... i think it will be sometime before i upgrade to dslr... maybe not sometime, a looooonnngggg time... heh

nanti la i post some of my fav flower pixs..
