the versus of love...

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength
while loving someone deeply gives you courage......

just finished watching Ayat-ayat Cinta...yess...I may bit behind but I never thought an Indonesian movie could give such a great impact...As described by the synopsis it is a beautifully portrayed Islamic love story; a tale of a virtuous Muslim protagonist who overcomes all obstacles of life maintaining pure ideals.

The storyline is has definitely gave a different perspective in yet another malay or indonesian love story. Along with the impact of the music background, one will certainly find this story heartbreaking..

i'm not A pRincess.. this ain't a fAiry taLe...

Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

1) Hampir semua yang close to me akan sedar i am a kalut person..i am definately bukan seseorang yang boleh do unplanned things.. if it does occur then my kalut personaliti will definately appear..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2) Im a moderate cook! yes.. if im at home i jarang masak..but the fact that i dont do it doesnt mean that i dont know how to do it...sejak berada di london nie i masak more than usual..and so far i do get compliments.kuang kuang kuang...i do enjoy cooking and exploring my taste buds in restaurants...so people yang suka go out and eat boleh laa ajak i..hint!!hint!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3) My all time favourite thing to do is shop!!! this includes clothes, bags, shoes, grocery, and apa saja yang involvekan diri ini untuk keluar , explore and cuci mata!! I can spent my whole day jalan-jalan..this factor mmg definately opposite of wanny..nasib baik dia still leh layan kawan dia sorang nie..however im not a compulsive shopper.. walaupun nafsu shopping itu ada i tetap akan mengambil kire wang dalam bank!! hehhe.. yerlaa i kan accountant so paham2 jer laa.. like wanny said..CETI!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4) I am a very loyal person.. i am a loyal friend and lover..chewahh.. for me, its something to treasure for!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5) I am a TV series freek... i love to watch them secara marathon..huhuh.. for me its a therapy for myself to release any sort of stress..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6) I get sick often...it seems that i have a low level of antibodi..i get sick easily and i am allergic to many things terutamanya habuk and the smell of paint..but that doest mean i dont help out to clean the house etc.. it just means that i have to take a pill after i do so..huhu..tapi kalau dapat maid when i have my own house is an advantage jugaks...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7) Lastly.. this statement will definately be shock to some people.. I am in love and it kills me that i cant share to the world to whom im in love with...so bagi rakan-rakan yang akan pesture n torture me to get an answer..i will tell u guys one fine day..till them..TUNGGU...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ additional memandangkan semua wat additional...

sedihnyaa...

haihs.. counting the days for eid to arrive... never thought i would cry just by listening the raya songs...maybe its because ive been missing my mom, sister and friends for the past few days..or is it because its like the first time i'll be away from home for raya..yeah people would like say that i have my brother, kak in and akilah..but its not the same aite.. or maybe its just my hormones making me so damn emotional..

i remembered my first time being away from my parents for eid.. i was in form 2..my parents were in bangkok as my dad was posted there.. at that time i spent my raya in penang with my grandparents, aunts, uncle and of coz my beloved cousins..however i was in malaysia and the feeling was definately different..

i really hope i wont cry my eyes out on the morning of raya...btw.. let me dedicate the song by sudirman - dari jauh ku pohon maaf to all...sob sob...

Music Therapy

Since I was in a stress mood these past few days, I decided to google up several methods to lighten up my mind. Just a light article to share for those in a stress mode. So here goes...

Listening to music does wonders to alleviate stress. Please note that everyone has different tastes in music. Listen to the music that you feel comfortable. Sitting down and forcing yourself to listen to relaxation music that you don't like may create stress, not alleviate it.Music has always been a great healer. Music is a significant mood-changer and reliever of stress, working on many levels at once.

Many experts suggest that it is the rhythm of the music or the beat that has the calming effect on us although we may not be very conscious about it. They point out that when we were a baby in our mother's womb, we probably were influenced by the heart beat of our mother. We respond to the soothing music at later stages in life, perhaps associating it with the safe, relaxing, protective environment provided by our mother.

Music can be one of the most soothing or nerve wracking experiences available. Choosing what will work for any individual is difficult, most will choose something they 'like' instead of what might be beneficial. In doing extensive research on what any given piece of music produces in the physiological response system many unexpected things were found. Many of the so-called Meditation and Relaxation recordings actually produced adverse EEG patterns, just as bad as Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. The surprising thing was many selections of Celtic, Native American as well as various music containing loud drums or flute were extremely soothing. The most profound finding was Any music Performed Live and even at moderately loud volumes even if it was somewhat discordant had very a beneficial response. Whenever the proper sounds were experienced an amazing right/left brain hemisphere synchronization occurred. The normal voltage spiking pattern changed to a smooth sinusoidal waveform and the usual voltage differential equalized. The entire human energetic system is extremely influenced by sounds, the physical body and chakra centers respond specifically to certain tones and frequencies. Special consideration should be given to the positive effects of one actually playing or creating music themselves.

Among the first stress-fighting changes that take place when we hear a tune is an increase in deep breathing. The body's production of serotonin also accelerates. Music was found to reduce the pain during dental procedures.Playing music in the background while we are working, seemingly unaware of the music itself, has been found to reduce the stress.

Music was found to reduce heart rates and to promote higher body temperature - an indication of the onset of relaxation. Combining music with relaxation therapy was more effective than doing relaxation therapy alone.

Maximizing With Music Therapy

As we mentioned before, there is not a single music that is good for everyone. People have different tastes. It is important that you like the music being played.The following are general guidelines to maximize the effectiveness of the music:

• To wash away stress, try taking a 20-minute "sound bath." Put some relaxing music on your stereo, then lie in a comfortable position on a couch or on the floor near the speakers. For a deeper experience, you can wear headphones to focus your attention and to avoid distraction.
  
• Choose music with a slow rhythm - slower than the natural heart beat which is about 72 beats per minute. Music that has repeating or cyclical pattern is found to be effective in most people.
  
• As the music plays, allow it to wash over you, rinsing off the stress from the day. Focus on your breathing, letting it deepen, slow and become regular. Concentrate on the silence between the notes in the music; this keeps you from analyzing the music and makes relaxation more complete.
  
• If you need a stimulation after a day of work, go for a faster music rather than slow calming music.
  
• When going gets tough, go for a music you are familiar with - such as a childhood favorite or favorite oldies. Familiarity often breeds calmness.
  
• Take walks with your favorite music playing on the walkman. Inhale and exhale in tune with the music. Let the music takes you. This is a great stress reliever by combining exercise (brisk walk), imagery and music.
  
• Listening to the sounds of nature, such as ocean waves or the calm of a deep forest, can reduce stress. Try taking a 15- to 20-minute walk if you're near the seashore or a quiet patch of woods. If not, you can buy tapes of these sounds in many music stores.

lovin my new blackberry!

mesti semua cam tak caya out of all people, me; intan alia owning a blackberry... those close to me knows that i'm like at all time blur with phones, gadgets and any other things yang sewaktu dengannya... however ntah macamana tatkala memilih phone so that i can register a new line here in london, the blackberry curve yang menambat hati.

Actually waktu dok survey2 tu cam ader gak tanya wanny what phone I should get. Wanny awal-awal lagi dah cadangkan this phone. My initial alasan was Kak In dah guna... Tapi after much consideration n pikir panjang, 2 weeks to be exact, i made up my mind. Alang-alang baik pilih this phone terus.

At first wanted to register for an orange line, supaya boleh dapat the blackberry in emerald black. Tapi setelah consider the plans and packages plus terdengar cakap mamat Fonehouse tu i decided to sign up for the T-mobile line. Yand kelakarnya, Kak Ip yang patut teman i sign up for the line pun end up balik rumah with a new blackberry as well...So now kat rumah @ 80b Finchley Lane nie ader 3 orang yang using the same phone! Sorry and Thanks for the inspiration Kak In..

Still taking time to explore and getting use to this phone... trust me, it will really take me a long time...heheh...but so far i lovin it! wish me luck...

p/s: fallin in love my the new ipod nano too.. hurmm.. should i?

Review...

well since i have so much time to kill nowdays, ive been keeping myself with the new season of gossip girls season 2 and one tree hill season 6...my review!

1)gossip girl - love blair's wardrobe for this season..and complicated can everything be!

2)one tree hill - everyone have already predicted that lucas will definately pick peyton! never thought skills would end up with deb! hehhe..grandpa skills.. and poor brooke!

anyways, for those who like to watch the tv series you could also try Lipstick Jungle! cant wait for season 2 this 28th sept! for the guys, Dexter is an option! a bit violence too.. saper tak suka tgk blood then stay away!

Lastly, for all the Greys Anatomy lovers, wait for the premier this upcoming 26th September, i think! heheh
