LATEST NEWS

Statement to our fans from the Backstreet Boys regarding Kevin Richardson departure from the group:
"Earlier this year, after much soul searching, Kevin Richardson came to us and told us that he had decided to leave the group and pursue other interests. He gave his blessing to continue the music without him.

We have no intention of replacing Kevin, and the door will always be open for him to return to the Backstreet Boys. We wish him the all the best in his future endeavors.

This weekend we are returning to the studio to begin the follow-up to Never Gone, and will see you later this year with a new album."

Statement from Kevin Richardson

"After 13 years of what can only be described as a dream come true, I have decided that it is time to leave the Backstreet Boys. It was a very tough decision for me but one that was necessary in order to move on with the next chapter of my life. Howard, Brian, Alex and Nick will always be my little brothers and have my utmost love and support. I would like to thank the Backstreet fans for all the beautiful memories we have shared together and look forward to including you in the next phase of my life. I wish my brothers continued success and look forward to their new album."

What a sucky day!!!!

Started the day fine cos england still managed to be at the top of grp B, meaning they wld not be facing germany for the last 16... in the late afternoon, received 2 smses which totally ruined my day...

1st sms was regarding my M9... i shall not comment anything further cos my heart still aches...

2nd sms was regarding my last project... it seems like we wld be having a meeting tmr with an income personnel to interview her regarding incomeshield.... then, i took a look at my nearly-finished report... and i come to realise that some part of it was pretty redundant.. and this part was written by this particular project member who was so super duper kanchiong on completing the project... uuurrrggghhhh!!!! The frustration!!! To think that he kept bugging us to finish it asap....

My 3rd frustration is my upcoming test on general insurance... from the 2nd lecture onwards, i have totally switched off whenever the lecturer starts opening her mouth... i just could not concentrate for her lectures... i think the main reason was because, all of her classes were in the morning... therefore, i have the trouble of keeping myself awake...

And i have no freaking idea why i have become such a blur person!!! My blurness actually cost me my grade for the CRM test!! UUURRRGGGHHHH!!! Just what is happening to me... have i truly become a blonde? hahah... i wonder from whom i got it from....

The reason for my absence from the blogging world is pretty obvious!! My NEW SKIN!!! My 2nd skin from all my sweat, blood and headaches!!! Pretty satisfied with it... just need some help with the link's layout... sorry fiq, i think i need to disturb u again... i just cant get the url right... other than that, im pretty much loving my new skin.. my eye candies.. siiiiigghhh....

Hmmm.... so what have i been up to? Pretty sleepy from World Cup, pretty stressed up from projects and pretty excited for Superman Returns and Lake House!!! Cant wait for those 2 movies!!

Last friday, i finally got my Guess watch after abt a mth delay.. before that, i had a great time with the Khalawats at Mind Cafe... our fave game was snorta... instead of calling for the other player's animal's sound.. we would either end up screaming or pointing at each other while trying to remember what was their animal's sound.. fun fun.. After that, we proceeded to Taka to get my watch.. and along the way.. we met a few of our schoolmates from sec sch and jc... i think the best time to bump into pple, is to go to orchard on a friday night cos everyone seems to be there..

After dinner at Puncak, the girls decided to hang at Scotts' Coffee Bean... chatted and took pics.. on our way to the mrt station... i saw BOTAK!!! YAAAYYY!! I was pretty happy cos the last time i saw him was during 'O' Levels... finally i got to see him again... but i still prefer the old Botak in sec sch.. loved his hairstyle back then... siiiigghhh.... my first chinese crush..

Been bumming ard at home.. trying to "jaga hati" my mum.. dunno why, but she is like extra sensitive nowadays.. had an argument with her last night... siiiiggghhh... sometimes i just dunno what am i suppose to do... it never seems to be enuff... but today, she was pretty nice.. accompanied me to go shopping.. and wasnt complaining when i could not make up my mind.. mums and their mood swings.. i can never figure that out...

Saw this vid at Nin's blog... IT IS HILARIOUS!!!!!! So decided to post it here... just what a needed after a stressful day...

Yayyyy!!!!! England won the 1st match!! Dun care if its an own goal cos what matters is that they got the 3 precious points!! And what do u know, the own goal was resulted from my baby's wonderful freekick!! It was just superb!! Love it!! Definitely looking forward to their next match..

Stayed awake for the next 2 matches.. initially, i was supporting Sweden but watching how Trinidad & Tobago perservered, i totally jumped ship and supported them.. Even though it was a goalless draw, they were so happy and were jumping up and down when the final whistle was blown.. I think it was an acheivement that they managed to hold on despit playing with only 10 men.. I think England ought to be wary of them for their next match..

For the argentina vs ivory coast match, i was quite surprise that the ivorian played quite well.. they had their chances but too bad, it did not result into a goal.. I was once again reminded why i do not really fancy argentina. They are a bunch of damn good actors!!! One little touch and result into a grimacing pain!! Look at what diego simeone did to my becks in 1998.. watching the morning match, reaffirmed my belief that they are a bunch of really good actors...

Its half-time now for the match between holland and serbia&montenegro.. kinda boring actually except when robben touches the ball... i was told that he is a good player and now i know why...

The day that i have been waiting for is finally here but why the heck am i so sleepy? Hahaha... luckily its not England's match... gotta stay awake!!

CongratsSiti Marliza!

Lurrve the donuts and muffins...

Went for Liza's engagement ceremony just now.. Wow! My bestfriend since pri 1 is finally engaged! It seems like only yday that both of were playing catching ard the parade square of our primary sch... and now, she partly belongs to someone else.. When i was sitting in her room, i just could not believe that the person sitting there, all dolled up is actually Siti Marliza.. so happy for her!

The ceremony was fun and opened my eyes that engagement could actually be fun.. relatives will be there to share the happy occasion, you will be surrounded by your close friends who are so happy for you and there are so many barang hantaran ( is that what its called?) to go "Wahhhh... so pretty, so nice!" Now, wait! I am not saying that cos i am daydreaming of getting engage soon.. I am saying that cos it seems like fun especially seeing all the pretty barang hantaran.. no idea what its called in English.. engagement gifts? Anyways, the point which im trying to bring across is, can i get engage just for the fun of it? Hahaha.. I just want the barang hantaran! There is no need for a groom, just give me the barang hantaran can already.. Heee..

Nowadays, they come in so many different shapes and sizes.. and they are decorated all so nicely that u dun want to open them up or dismantle it.. they are all so pretty!! Got pulut(starch rice) shaped into a rabbit, then got muffin arranged in a heart shape, there was also small donuts arranged like a christmas tree.. lollipops lah.. chocolates lah... tea bags too.. so nice!

On our way back, Azeanni and i were chatting and were making predictions on which one of us would be the 1st to get married.. hahah.. i think i still have a looong way to go.. there are a lot of stuffs that i have not tried.. there are so many things out there which i wanna try before getting tied down.. Bungee jumping, sky diving, travelling ard the world, do volunteer work, TURKEY!!! So much to be done...

Oh ya.. I just wanna share sthg.. i think tattooes are hot!! Its hot on those who are not Muslims.. definitely! I cant stand Malay guys who has tattooes all over their body.. i dun have a problem with tattooes but i have a problem when its a Muslim guy/girls who has it.. other than that, its hot! The reason for my sudden topic of tattooes? Miami's Ink!!! Every sunday at 11pm on Discovery Channel (ch 16)! The tattooes artiste featured in the show are damn artistic! And the reason that the clients gave for getting their tattooes are sometime moving.. most of them got a tattooes in the memories of their loved ones, declaration of love, some for the artisitcs values... Every tattooes has a meaning behind it.. and to see the finished product after hours of hard work and concentration was quite astounding.. I never knew that a picture of a tiger could look so good and real on a human body.. The tattoo artistes are just do damn artisitc.. they can just draw up some fanciful design to meet the needs of their clients.. Darn! I wish i possess some artistic talent!!

I think i have a mid-year resolution!!! Hahah.. Two actually!!

NUMBER 1.
I will try to smile more often, to the people around me and even to strangers.. including cute guys whom i may have a fleeting moment of eye contact... i think a smile can leads to many possibilities... new acquaintances, new frens, new crush... i shall try to smile more often...

NUNMBER 2.
I will try to enjoy this journey of singlehood as much as i can... i shall flirt with the guys around me.. just cos i am single and waiting for the right one, does not mean that i cant enjoy myself, right? Rather than just wait quietly and patiently, might as well have some fun along the journey... flirt, smile, laugh and have fun!! But definitely with no feelings attached!!

Who am i trying to kid? Every single year i told myself that i will smile more often, and every single year i fail.. and now, it has become my mid-year resolutions.. i think really need to smile more.. but the flirting part.. hahahah.. maybe one day when i feel extremely high or courageous, i might do just that...

Finally, got some time off from projects and test.. so went for a lil retail theraphy just now.. how i wish i am earning my full salary so i can shop a lot more!!! Went to Marina just now for some window-shopping and acc my fren to find a burfday gift.. then we decided to walk to Suntec's Novo cos the shoes selection there are more.. but too bad, i didnt manage to buy the sandal that i wanted due to unavailable of stocks for that size.. i ended up buying another pumps at URS Inc and a cropped jacket at Zara.. I wanna shop some more!! I wanna get the jeans and tops at Dorothy Perkins!! Too bad im earning a measly amount of $600 for these 3 months.. But i did feel better after some retail theraphy... the wonders of shopping!!

Chatted with a friend last night and we came to the topic of having ideals on how your partners should be.. i gave up on having a long list of ideals on what i want my partner to be like a looonngg time ago... over the years, i learnt that just because the guy looks like he is a nice guy, he may not necessarily be one and turns out to be a real jerk... and guys whom i thought possessed a certain characters proved me wrong by behaving otherwise.. cute guys whom i straight away labelled as a potential jerk, strangely enuff does not behave like one.. i learnt not to have too high of an expectations anymore.. not to have ideals which are too idealistic.. and never judge a book by its cover.. but that does not mean that i would settle for anything less than the minimum criteria i have set.. i know that nobody is perfect, including me..

Years and years of reading historical romance novel turned me into an idealist once.. used to daydream on how i would chance upon my future partner.. how he should act in a certain way.. how he would notice only me in the crowd... blah.. blahh.. and then we happily lived ever after... hahah.. how naive and delusional i was back then!! The world is not as rosy as i painted it and guys are not such a gallant knight i pictured them to be.. Its hard to erase all these images and ideals that are so deeply imbedded in your mind.. that why having a crush on someone whom u do not know all too well can be a dangerous thing if the feeling developed more than just a mere crush.. when u r crushin on that certain someone, you would picture him in the best of light possible.. you would picture him to be nice, sweet, thoughtful, fun and all... it is a dangerous thing to have an image on how a the person should be in your head.. u kept thinking that he is all the nicest thing in the world.. then u became in love with that image.. and not the person.. and that makes it hard to let go..

I have also learnt that when u have a certain ideals on how ur partner shld be like, it inhibits to other options.. u just centred ur mind on that set of ideals and when u meet someone new, u some sort of do a mental check list and started checking and crossing the criterias that they fulfil and dun... you are so blinded by those ideals that sometimes u dun even realise that the person closest to u or right in front of u are the ones who willingly accepts u and ur flaws.. u so blinded by those set of ideals that u dunno what what you have been missing.. even if it was at a get-to-know stage, u are so critical of the person.. it is definitely unfair to the person and also urself.. every little things that the person does has to fit to that set of ideals and one wrong move can means the end of the r/ship even before it begins.. it is sad to see or hear that a r/ship comes to an end just because the person does not fit those set of ideals.. how stupid can that be? Nobody is perfect! NOBODY!!

I have to admit though, sometimes i am guilty of those mental checks... i am only human if i only want the best.. but i am slowly letting it go and opening up my options.. maybe a small-eyed man is not so bad after all.. maybe a guy shorter than 1.8m is not that short afterall.. maybe a guy who doesnt read is not that dumb afterall.. maybe a guy without goatee can look good without one.. maybe a guy who doesnt understand my obsession with Beckham is fine afterall.. as long as he is obsessed with me... hahahaha....
