This is definitly addictive!!

Have any one of you tried the latest hot-thingy quizzes application (not that latest actually, im just slow) on facebook? It's so cool that i'm actually liking it. Not that its absolutely true but it makes you wonder and smile. hahahaa.. maybe there is a hidden Hitler in you that you just don't know about.

By sheer chance and boredom, i decided to try a quiz. I started with the personality quiz. Something about which celebrity were you reborn from - "Who were you in a past life". The questions were short and simple. Not something that you have to crack your brains to answer. For the first quiz, i was stated to be "Amelia Earhart or Howard Hughes". This was what they concluded from my answers: "You were an intrepid adventurer with a love of life greater than anyone in your time. You spent your days contemplating the limits of normal life, pushing the boundaries, and seeking ways to transcend them. You’ve had your share of hardship, but you also succeeded in creating a legacy of spirit and determination that will live in history forever." Amelia Earhart i'm not so sure, but Howard Hughes? the Howard Hughes? hmm.. that's really interesting. guffaws. For one i'm now looking forward till the day i own my very own aviation company or even a media conglomerate. Lets pray... Amin...

Now, i didn't just stop at that one. Just out of curiosity, i tried another one. This time the "are you a BITCH or just very OUTSPOKEN". And the result is.... drumrolls please... "I'm a BITCH!". huaaaaahuauhauhauhuahuaahahahahhaha! SO that explains plenty! Okay now, don't get too excited. The next one is gonna shock you for sure. For the "Which historical person are you" quiz, i was named ADOLF HITLER. "Among them all you are the most brutal. You don't appreciate human life, you have your goal and you are ready to sacrifice everything to reach it, even your soul." Yes... the infamous ruler of all time.. Coincidence? Or does Hitler actually bears the same kind humanly traits as i? I don't think that i'm capable of killing an animal, let alone humankind! This is absurd, just the thought of it stinks. heheee..

Like i said, i'm addicted to it. I actually still have it open on the other tab. So off i go to do some soul-searching...

Sheena has not changed. Really.

2009. Numerologists have said that 2009 is a powerful year. The year of completion. I took a step back to see what this means. What will 'completion" do to me? What effect will it have in Shereena Saini? Will it change me?

For one certainty, 2009 brings many new things in my life. The decision was made for me to further my studies though half-heartedly at first, i'm now a full-time student. No longer working and earning is a little difficult for me to bear. Sigh... Who choses allowances over paychecks huh? Double sigh is the fact that allowance is a quarter of my last paycheck. Student life is not as fun as it used to be. Being the eldest in class (they even have a name for it "matured" students) is not fun. We don't laugh about the same things anymore, we think a little differently. We see things from different angles too. I have to push all that aside now. A little pain to endure to make it through the 3 years in ease.

Owh.. pssst. I'm attached now. Heheheee.. Who? Let's call him Mr X for now. Mr X is a friend of my bestfwen. How we met? That'll be a new post all in all.. For now, just know that Mr X makes Sheena really happy. winks.

Life is kinda going Sheena's way huh? Kinda, but i'm really missing my friends. Namely: Julie, Hakim, Roshen, Ajiq, Nyer, Zam and some others.. Just know i'm not running away from you guys ya. Just trying to sort things out and getting used to the new hap-penings in my life period.

Earth Hour - Malaysia 28th March 2009

At precisely 8.30pm local time, Malaysia was engulfed in darkness. It was not caused by a major electricity blackout but due to humanity and the fight for global preservation. Thousands participated in the "Swith Off" campaign. I was proud to say i did my part too. It was nice to know that people around the world are uniting for a good cause.

Some question the effectiveness of the 60 minutes in the fight against global warming. Would 60 minutes be enough? Hey, let's put it this way.. Yes, 670 minutes may not change the world entirely or totally rid global warming, but just picture this; 60 minutes combined by the millions of households and major establishments all over the world, it does make a change. Though the change may be little, it does have effect.

Mother Nature must be smiling last night. Proud of what her children are doing. And to those who had participated, 2 thumbs up guys!

The dentist is the most dreadful place on planet earth, according to me. The awful sound of the mini drill (is that what they're called?) is enough to make me cry. Never a fan of the dentist, i grew up with crooked teeth. My teeth looks like an aftermath of a collision between a wall and a heavy vehicle. Seriously, and my huge bunny teeth don't do any justice too.

Ayah had always wanted to have my chompers straightened, but i always chickened. The image of Dr Dread extracting my teeth has always been etched permanently in my mind. My crooked teeth had never been a problem for me till recently.

All my wisdom teeth have sprouted. Yes, i am wise my friends... They made their ways unceremoniously and painfully out, on the way, pushing its neighbours. Dr Dread advised me to have 'em all plucked out as they're pushing its way to the front. This in time, will make me "jongang".

Ayah did the unbelievable when he dragged me to Dr Dread. I was brought in for consultation. Hey, Dr Dread isn't as dreadful as i thought she would be. She cunningly coxed me into having the chompers em'braced'. Ooooo... you cunning fox.

The worst part is the injection part. This is to ensure i don't feel any pain during the actual extraction. I actually cried. My hands were cold. But there was no turning back now, ayah had already paid.

Today, i had the first installation of the "mounts" on the upper part of my chompers. I feel funny. I look weird. And will continue looking weird for the next 2 and a half years. Arghh!!!

ps: what's "jongang" in English? Anyone?

Reliving the Dead

Always late, i know. That sums me real good. '08 has send me to a turbulence. A helter-skelter that left scars. Scars deep enough to mar me for life. With those scars, i move on. Move on to a hopefully better and blessed '09.

Just a moment ago, i was surfing the net. Something that i have not done for quite abit; blog-hopping and updating stuffs that needs amendments. It was then when i stumbled upon an old-friend. A friend whom i poured everything out. Letting emotions free for all to see. The friend is dead, i thought (i know for a fact she's dead coz i killled her). But there she was, looking straight at me.

The dead friend looked scary. Looking at her means having to relive the bad memories. Memories of me and him, memories of Jinxy and Munkie, memories of fun and happiness that was no longer around. I braved myself to approach the dead friend, or the ghost for that matters. That friend, my friends, is my old blog. The blog that i had decided to kill for purposes unknown. Though at that moment of time, the reason had been because i can't handle it (the memories yah, its not some hi-tech film where creepy crawlies come crawling out the screen).

With some guts, i dauntlessly kept it open and started reading the last entry. The words seemed unfamiliar. The flair too.. If there was any. hahahaaa... I wasn't much of a writer and i am a great cry from being a poet. I kept going at it. One posts leads to another and though not much, it did open a flood gate of memories. Memories which came flashing in my mind and in front of me as if i was reliving the moment with each and every word.

It made me sad, happy and angry. A mixed emotion of all sorts. I wanted it to stop but i kept going and going at it. As i read, i realised i was "lost" then. Often asking the big WHY. Now, after two years i have the answers. And some questions that i asked myself WHY in the spiteful '08, have been answered. The answers were staring at me straight in my face!

I now know the importance of reliving memories/histories both good and bad. I should have not just chucked it away and left it abandoned to die. Now comes the dreadful IF.

• IF i have read the blog i could have seen what my problems was and could have done something about it
• IF i have not left the blog to die, i would have still remember what my true passion is; writing
• IF i had visited the blog when i was at my lowest, i would not have fallen between the cracks and became so lost in solitary thoughts and actions

Sigh.. IF only i was braver. Now i will put it away again. This time, not to kill it. Just to have it safe and once in a while, would visit it. Especially when i start to stray, when i start to forget that the pen (now the keyboard) is mightier than the sword. The pen (or keyboard) will be my friend. And i shall write (or blog) earnestly and with much passion again..

Sheena's short escapade frm the horrors of it all...

News on the war and all the terrible things happening around us is just too scary. I have now chosen to ignore any forms of news. It’s just too depressing, really. It’s not that I want to actually fully ignore it; I just don’t know what to do, how to help or how to make a difference. I’m angry. I’m sad. So this sadness and anger had made me retrieve into my own world of make-believe fiction. I read. Yes, in times like this, I read.

Its weird though, as I try to run away from the haunting news about war and hunger and abuse and poverty and all other nonsensical things, the book I chose to read or as u can call it “my escape”, is about all that.

Title: goodnight, beautiful

Author: Dorothy Koomson

This really good book is all about family, love, friendship, loyalty, lust and betrayal. I wept as I turned the pages; I finished the book in a day. Incredible. The next one I started on after was on the subjects of family, abandonment, abuse and betrayal.

Title: Mummy’s Little Girl
Author: Jane Elliott

A little girl who’s abandoned at birth, abused and forced into child-prostitution. I didn’t cry though many I know would. I just couldn’t. I don’t know why. But tears did well up and my heart twitched a little… You have a go at it and you tell me. Yeah, i think of this little girl alot when i hear the song; Love for a child by Jason Mraz.

Jason Mraz - Love For A Child

This song i dedicate to children all around the world who come from families with truckloads of problems... esp my little rascals (you know who u are)... Kak Sheena love you loads...

Jason Mraz - Love For A Child

There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
There's a party getting started in the yard
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

And by the pool that night, apparently
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
And you woke up at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude and your memory's a shame

So, what about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I like to believe it was all about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

So, what about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
Oh but they never check to see my grades
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of some innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd love to believe it was all about love for a child

It was all about love...

hushh... everythings gonna be alright, i can't promise you indefinitely, but i pray and pray it would...

American Idol Season 8; Phoenix, Arizona

I was fixed in front of the telly today. Up really early despite the late night outing. I missed last night's 1st episode of the A.I.8 auditions and is making up for it today. I was excited to learn about the new addition to the judges' panel; Kara DioGuardi.

At first sight, Kara doesn't look like she's even qualified to stand alongside Randy, Paula and Simon, but after learning more about her on the net and what was shown, i guarantee, her presence will make this years A.I. a much better one. A women with a strong passion for music has been in this business for many years, writing chart-topping songs for Ashlee Simpson and Pink among many others. It's also great to know that she has more spunk compared to the "owh-so-sweet-and-beautiful" Paula. She's tough and has a little bit of Simon in her. That's cool!

Season 8 kicked off in Phoenix, Arizona. Well, the crowd at the auditions is expected. But the talents are awesome! I actually loved the 16 yr-old songstress who sang "At Last". Can't remember her name, but ooooh... her voice is just tantalizing.

Who can forget the Bikini Barbie who wanted to make-out with Ryan. Owgh! She made it look like its a Playmate audition. And.... oooo... she even has the nerve to say that she sings better than Kara. sheesh. I pray she won't make it through 1st week in Hollywood. And ehem ehem! Is flirting with the host even allowed??! FOX! Do something about it already!!

Another worth mention is the blind pianist. He is just an inspiration. A college graduate and an all-round achiever. Awww...

Shucks! GTG!! American Idol will be on in 5! MUAAXS!!

Saturday Night Live!

The sluts had a wonderful, wonderful Saturday night! We were at heritage bouncing from space to mansion. It was great, especially after not being there for quite sometime now. Met kazillion old friends. The weather wasnt great though, it rained. sigh.. But that didnt damper our spirits. We were all out that nite, getting on the podium and all.. hahhahaa.. luckily i wasnt in my three inches.

Owh yah, guess who i met that nite?? Syura! Yeay! i finally get to meet her live and in-person! She's awesome and not to mention absolutely gorgeous. Rafique was there too. Whoa! He's a hunk. I'm jealous syura. I'm actually amazed that syura could actually recognise me. She was the one who called out. I salute her for that. Utter bravery. What if it wasn't me?

Bluuuweeeekk... Ppooooo...

Yesterday, i felt horrible!!! Woke up to a bad tummy at 6am, ended up being in there face in the hole for a solid 45 minutes puking and u know what from behind! Thinking it was just something i ate, i crawled back into bed and forced myself to sleep.

Again, i was awoken by the rumbling and unbearable tummy aches. Rushed to the toilet for another bout of puking and u know what from behind. It was horrible! Glanced at the clock to realised i had slept for only 15mins. Damn. It got worse and worse until there was absolutely nothing for my body to throw-up anymore. There was only gas and bitter-tasting stomach liquid coming out. so did whatever that came out the behind.

My brother had to fetch me to my parent's, by that time, i was as weak as a rag-doll. Today, for raya, i couldn't even eat. Tried eating, but everything that went in my mouth came back a little after 10-20 minutes later.

Ahh... now, the tummy still aches, but it's much better. Sobs... there goes rendang, there goes lontong and soto...
