Black Dagger Brotherhood

In the shadow of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brother like no other; six vampire warriors, defenders of their race.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward, are the first series that I’d read and owned), and about the lives of vampires and also my first encounter with paranormal genre. This series is in six books and each book is about one Brother of the Black Dagger.

This is not the typical vampire stories that we heard, this is not the blood-sucking-killer-animals-vampire type. This is totally different types of vampires. These books are about hot-sweaty-would kill to have you-make you want hold on to them for all the life- vampires. Its more to romance-thriller-action genre. This is the list of the Black Dagger series:

1. Dark Lover (Wrath – Beth)
2. Lover Eternal (Rhage – Mary)
3. Lover Awakened (Zhadist – Bella)
4. Lover Revealed (Butch – Marissa)
5. Lover Unbound (my favourite) (Vishous – Jane)
6. Lover Enshrined (Phury – Cormia)
7. Lover Avenged (coming soon)

Dark Lover

The only purebred vampire left on the planet, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But when one of his most trusted fighters is killed- orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate - Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead…

Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn't there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of brotherhood and blood frighten her. But his touch ignites a dawning hunger that threatens to consume them both…

Lover Eternal

Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He’s the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover—for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Possessed by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.

Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships, is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhage’s protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. Her faith in miracles was lost years ago. But when Rhage’s intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves…


Lover Awakened


A former blood slave, the vampire Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion, and terror is his only passion—until he rescues a beautiful aristocrat from the evil Lessening Society.

Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses. But even as their desire for one another begins to overtake them both, Zsadist’s thirst for vengeance against Bella’s tormentors drives him to the brink of madness. Now, Bella must help her lover overcome the wounds of his tortured past, and find a future with her…


Lover Revealed

Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world- to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers...

Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, found by a miracle, the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him...


Lover Unbound

Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous son of the Bloodletter possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a pretrans growing up in his father's war camp, he was tormented and abused. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time- until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that cannot include her.


Lover Enshrined

Fiercely loyal to the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Phury has sacrificed himself for the good of the race, becoming the male responsible for keeping the Brotherhood's bloodlines alive. As Primale of the Chosen, he is to father the sons and daughters who will ensure that the traditions of the race survive and that there are warriors to fight those who want all vampires extinguished.

As his first mate, the Chosen Cormia wants to win not only his body but his heart for herself- she sees the emotionally scarred male behind all his noble responsibility. But while the war with the Lessening Society grows more grim, and tragedy looms over the Brotherhood's mansion, Phury must decide between duty and love.


Lover Avenged


This book is in stored April 2009 and revolves around the life of Rehvenge, Bella's big brother (he's not a member of Brotherhood). I so excited to know who will be Rehv's mate.

The MOST UNLUCKIEST GIRL EVER.......

So, here's the story of the unluckiest girl I've ever known, my very own cousin, Diana. Her bad luck start Sunday afternoon (23rd Nov 2008 = also her birthday....), when water got into her ear and causing some problem to her hearing, so the doctor asked her to see the specialist, Unfortunately, that specialist was fully booked until January.....

Did I mentioned she just bought new handphone, NOKIA E66 which cost half of her paycheck...??? Yup, about that newly bought handphone, she lost it just after 10 days of using it..... I mean, how unlucky was that... it was a brand new phone.... Addition to that, she went to MAXIS Centre to block her number and trying to transfer the prepaid to postpaid, and being told by the Maxis Officer that her IC no was already on the postpaid system. How could that possibly, she never used the postpaid before... This mean someone was using her identification number without her consent.... I was in total shock when she told me....(her calm state at that time was due to the all bad things that happen at once, her face expression was very calm and steady). The officer was very nice and being helpful. She did gave us the details of that phony person which were: the mobile phone number (2 of them), the billing address and the overdue amount. She'd also told us that MAXIS won't make charges against my poor cousin but she needs to make a police report... We even try to dialed the 2 numbers but it was out of services. Hmmmm............when I think about it, all this happened for a reason. I mean, if she didn't lost her phone, she won't know that some phony-sick-crazy-person was using the IC No......

And just when I thought that it was over, last night (28th Nov 2008), her car get hit from behind by other car, on our way to see the Twilight.....( i was also in that car) it raining very very heavy and the road was flooded. That guy was driving very fast and didn't manage to hit the brake. The accident was happenned so fast that we didn't realize it until we heard a loud sound and I got nasty headache..... Luckily, that guy (who happen to live in same neighbourhood with my other cousin) willing to pay for all the damage of that car. So, we don't need to make a police report. His car also was badly damaged. Since we already missed the movie, we just headed back to my cousin's house. Today, we went to the workshop, and the mechanic told us that the car will be fully fixed by next week. It was a terrible moment for all of us.

This accident was like the top of all her bad moment which happenned in just one week. I really really hope it will get better and her luck will change. This is just a small challenge from Allah. I did asked her about how her feeling about all these. Her quote:

" Everything happened for a reason and I need to be extra careful next time"

Some person. She seriously need to perform the "mandi bunga" to chase away the bad luck .

She is indeed quite a clumsy person. Hehehehe.... Always stumble on her own words, always forgetting her thing, leaving them behind, very confident even though shes's wrong, and list continue on.......Haahahaha...But deep down inside, she's definitely a very helpful and kind person.

Hazreen Diana - in one of her happy moments..........

P/S: I was writing this as she sit next to me, happily drinking her cold white coffee as there's nothing happened at all.....

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?

I took this quiz at http://www.blogthings.com
Kinda hooked up with all the quizzes.......huhuhuhu
This just one of the quizzes that i did........

You Are a Cappuccino

You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new. However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like. You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation. You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?

10 Signs He Is Interested in You

There he is, the man of your dreams. He's sitting across from you at the coffee shop or standing at the opposite side of the bar. His eyes meet yours, a quick glance, and then it's back to his drink. Was he giving you a signal?

It's not easy to decipher the mind of the modern male, but learning to decode what his nonverbal communication truly means is an invaluable asset in the game of love. So in order to be sure you're reading him right, look out for the following 10 signs.

Leaning into Love: If a guy is interested in you, you'll find that his body will lean forward toward yours. This move can be either very subtle or extremely "in your face" (literally!). It's his way of letting you know he'd like to get even closer. Once his interest is piqued, you'll both find it hard to pull away!

Keeping It Even Closer: A vital aspect of the physical nature of romance is reciprocity. Translation: meeting his advances with your own. This not only signals your own interest, but also serves to keep his.

The Eyes Have It: We've all heard the proverb, "The eyes are the window to the soul." If he's interested in you, he'll focus on you with those piercing peepers and hold it. Return his romantic gaze with a quiet smile and let him know that you are interested. He'll be at your side in no time.

Touching Is a Good Thing: If a guy is interested in you, then he'll want to be near you. He'll also want to take every opportunity to touch you. Maybe it's your arm, your leg, your knee — it doesn't matter, as long as his presence is physical and affectionate. It's his way of letting you know he likes you.

Funny Meeting You Here: Coincidence is out. Serendipity is in. Those so-called "happy accidents" may not be so accidental after all. Perhaps his "surprise" appearance at your favorite Starbucks or hangout is a signal that he's trying to connect with you (but doesn't want you to think he's a stalker!). Take this as a positive sign and make the most of your next encounter. You may find that you share more in common than just an addiction to double lattes.

Listen Closely: How do you know that you have a guy's attention? When he's not talking about himself. It's that simple. The next time you're in a bar, listen closely to any table full of men and you will hear them speaking rapturously about their favorite subject: themselves. For a man to shut up and really listen to what you have to say, you know it must be love (or at least a strong attraction). He'll put that male genetic ADD to rest once and for all after he's found his Miss Right.

The Guy Who Liked Chick Flicks: Okay, we all know he'd much rather be watching the big game, but it's an important sign if he shows an interest in the things you like as well. If he's happy to watch a movie you picked out or doesn't complain when it's time to hit the mall for a little shopping trip, you've made a serious leap forward in the dating game! Give him extra points if he makes the popcorn.

Funny Lady: Can't tell a joke to save your life? Does he laugh at it anyway? Men are very in touch with their sense of humor (women often complain that men never take anything seriously, right?), so if he's sending some hearty laughter your way, it's a good bet he's looking at you as relationship material.

Confidence, Man: If a guy's into you, you make him nervous. He'll get goose bumps or a rapidly beating heart just from being around you. Look for signs like unexplained laughter, sweaty palms and fidgeting. Guys always want to be in control of their emotions — we like to be in charge. If he has trouble doing that around you, it's most likely because you make him nervous and excited. Don't take it for granted; help him to relax, and he'll thank you by being a great guy you can depend on.

The Feeling Is Mutual: Men and women have very different brain chemistries: She is verbal; he is not. He is driven by visual desires, while she is guided by her deep emotions. Women are taught to rationally express their feelings and feel no shame in crying, and men punch things. Therefore, if you get a guy to actually open up and express his emotions, consider it a major achievement in your relationship. Discussing your feelings for each other is a powerful bonding experience for the two of you and serves to strengthen a relationship for whatever challenges the future may bring.

tv series ...........

PRISON BREAK

Season 1: Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is accused of the murder of Terrence SteadmanJeff Perry), the brother of the Vice President of the United States. With strong evidence supporting the charges against him, Lincoln is sentenced to death and is sent to the Fox River State Penitentiary to await execution. Lincoln's brother, brilliant structural engineer Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), is convinced of Lincoln's innocence and formulates an escape plan. He commits a robbery in order to be incarcerated at Fox River himself, as he works against time to overcome various obstacles and make the right connections among the inmates and prison staff to successfully break his brother out. The brothers are aided by their lifelong friend Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney), who begins to investigate the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. However, they are hindered by covert agents, who belong to an organization known as The Company. The Company was responsible for framing Lincoln and it is not yet known why. The brothers, along with six other inmates, Sucre (Amaury Nolasco), T-Bag (Robert Knepper), C-Note (Rockmond Dunbar), Tweener (Lane Garrison), Abruzzi (Peter Stormare), and Haywire (Silas Weir Mitchell) who come to be known as the Fox River Eight finally escape in the season finale.


Season 2: It begins eight hours after the escape, focusing mainly on the escapees. Series creator Paul Scheuring describes the second season as "The Fugitive times eight" and likens it to the "second half of The Great Escape".^[3] The fugitives split up and journey to locations across the country with the authorities close behind them as they each pursue their individual goals. Brad Bellick (Wade Williams) gets fired from the prison where he worked as a guard in season 1 and chases after the inmates himself for the reward money . Several of the escapees reunite in search of a large cache of money buried long ago by another prisoner. T-Bag manages to escape with the money, as the brothers spend the rest of the season tracking him down, both for the money which they need to escape the country, and because Scofield feels responsible for releasing the murderer.

Federal agent Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) is assigned to track down and capture the eight fugitives, but is revealed himself to be working for The Company; The group wants all eight men - especially Lincoln - dead. Several of the escapees are killed or recaptured, but the brothers make it to Panama. In the season finale, the testimony of a former Secret Service agent, who used to work for the Company-controlled President, exonerates Lincoln while Michael, T-Bag and Mahone are arrested by the Panamanian authorities and are imprisoned at the Penitenciaría Federal de Sona where they find Bellick who had been arrested earlier in the season.

Season 3: The season follows both Michael inside Sona and Lincoln on the outside. Sona is a prison that has been run by the inmates and guarded only from the outside since a riot the year before. Burrows is quickly contacted by The Company who have kidnapped his son LJ (Marshall Allman) and Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies), the woman Michael loves, and is told that they want Scofield to break James Whistler (Chris Vance) out of Sona. The season follows Michael and Whistler's trials in formulating an escape plan, as Michael has to deal with extreme tension and as Lincoln deals with the Company's operative Gretchen Morgan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe). Sucre gets a job at the prison to aid Michael in his escape plan.

When Michael fails to meet their deadline and Lincoln attempts a double-cross, Morgan "beheads Sara" and sends Lincoln the head as a warning. As the season ends, the pair manage to escape along with Mahone leaving behind several accomplices including T-Bag and Bellick. Sucre's identity is discovered by a prison guard and is thrown into Sona just after the escape. LJ is traded for Whistler and Michael is out for revenge against Gretchen for "Sara's death".

Season 4: Michael seeks revenge for Sara's death and finds out that she is alive and that the head given to Lincoln was from someone else. Michael also learns the truth about Whistler, that he has secretly been working alongside Mahone to take down the Company. Whistler's life is taken shortly after this by a Company Operative. It is learned that the inmates rioted at Sona and Bellick, T-Bag and Sucre escaped during the chaos. Donald Self (Michael Rapaport), a Department of Homeland Security agent, recruits Michael and Lincoln as well as Sucre, Bellick (Wade Williams) and Mahone for their help to bring down the Company in exchange for their freedom. Also joining the group are Sara, who escaped from Gretchen which resulted in Gretchen's own captivity by the Company, having failed to secure a valuable item, and RolandJames Hiroyuki Liao), a hacker who was assigned to help them after getting arrested for identity theft. Together, they devise a plan to retrieve data from the Company that will help to destroy the Company. In the meantime, Wyatt (Cress Williams), an agent from the Company, attempts to track Michael and Lincoln down and T-Bag heads North to the US with the "Birds" book in his possesion. He is in the process of stealing Whistler's plan.

Note: Why would i want to watch a bunch of inmate breaking free from prison??? The ultimate reason is WENTWORTH MILLER...!!!!!! No need for me to mention why......

MOONLIGHT

Moonlight is an American paranormal romance tv series about private investigator Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin). Mick was turned into a vampire by his bride Coraline (Shannyn Sossamon) on the couple's wedding night fifty-five years earlier. In the present day, he struggles with his love for a mortal woman, Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), his friendship with Josef Kostan (Jason Dohring), and his dealings with other vampires in Los Angeles.

Note: Vampire in this series is not your typical vampire, it is totally different and one of the reason i like watching this series. It kinda convince me that not all vampires are bad. Some of them are just surviving and very much trying living like normal, though they are obviously not normal. The conventions of Moonlight are based on a unique vampire mythology. A sire is the vampire who turns a human into a vampire, and must teach him how to live as one. A vampire's bite is not enough to turn a human into a vampire; the human, when near death, must drink the sire's blood. Daylight does not kill vampires, but does make them progressively weaker. Silver and fire are toxic,whereas garlic, holy water and crucifixes are useless.Vampires have a pulse, are not cold blooded and cannot turn into a bat. They must consume human blood to survive, and the best ways to kill them is by decapitation or burning; a stake through the heart is painful but only causes paralysis. Vampires have heightened senses, which allow them to hear very well and smell the past. They also develop psychic powers and can glimpse the future.

***************************************************************************

DARK ANGEL

Nineteen-year-old Jessica Alba shed her ingenuous Flipper image as Max Guevara, the creation of a diabolical futuristic laboratory that specialized in creating human prototypes for their own evil purposes. Escaping from the lab as a child, Max managed to survive into adulthood through a combination of drop-dead gorgeous looks, the cunning of a fox, the agility of a cat, and the strength of a superhuman. Managing to elude her mad-scientist pursuer, Lydecker (John Savage), by living in a squalid inner-city slum, Max is lured out of hiding by fearless cyberjournalist Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly), who convinces the heroine to join his fight against the oppressive post-apocalyptic status quo. Along the way, Max solicits the aid of her fellow lab subjects, some of whom have gone over to the other side.

Note: The show was canceled after 2 seasons due to many reason. I was 18 years old when this series aired in 2000 and missed a lots of episodes. Now, i had all the episode from both seasons. Hehehehe.....

***************************************************************************

David Cook - Light On

- After long awaited, the new single by David Cook is finally released. Though is not yet officially released but this something al David Cook's fans been waiting for... that inculde ME.........



Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there’s no point in grieving
Doesn’t matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I’m leaving

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

You know we’ve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You’ll start my heart again
When I come along

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, and I'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

*scat*

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you will find that the sky is yours

so please don't, please don't, please don't,
there's no need to complicate,
Cause our time is short
This, this, this is our fate,
I'm yours

Here are the simple acts your have started doing to save the planet from climate change:

• You now SWITCH OFF all your appliances, lights, lamps, computers and other equipment when they are not in use.

• You now UNPLUG your TV, mobile phone chargers, microwave ovens, DVD/VCD players, computers, and all your other appliances to avoid the energy-guzzling standby mode.

• You now LIGHT UP EFFICIENTLY by using energy efficient lighting systems such as CFL bulbs and opening your curtains and windows to invite more sunlight to your rooms

• You have SPREAD THE WORD and encouraged at least 5 of your friends to pledge for the planet and be energy-conscious like you

• You are now ENERGY CONSCIOUS AT WORK/SCHOOL by practicing the simple acts of unplugging, switching off and you’ve probably encouraged your whole office and school to replace your incandescent bulbs to CFLs.

• You are now ENERGY CONSCIOUS AT HOME by opening your windows to let natural air circulate in your house. You have also started using your refrigerator wisely.

So now, Greenpeace challenges you to move forward and continue this pledge for the planet. There are still numerous things that you can do for the planet…
SIMPLE LANG…
…segregate trash – to minimize waste management processes
…bring your own baon or reusable containers when you buy food – you’ll lessen the production and waste of the food wrappers (especially if they’re made of non-biodegradable materials such as plastic or sytrofoam)
…travel efficiently – avoid the one-car, one-person practice
…continue spreading the word and expand to your own expertise and fields of interest!
A teacher? Perhaps you can lead your students in becoming more energy-conscious!
An architect? Maybe you can start designing houses that are more climate-friendly!

Stop Climate Change

(Text from GreenPeace Asia)

Global Warming is a Catastrophe Coming! We already know the causes - humankind's unfettered burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. We already know some of the impacts - the melting of polar ice caps, rising oceans, severe droughts, the spread of pestilence, massive flooding, coral bleaching and surging storms. We already know who will be hit hardest - coastal countries, island nations, and underdeveloped regions like Southeast Asia.

For years we have been releasing more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels like, coal, gas and oil. This has greatly increased world's natural blanket, leading to rising global temperatures, and deadly and unpredictable changing climates. Greenpeace believes that only a systematic and drastic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions can prevent climate change from wreaking more damage to the earth's ecosystems and its peoples.

As an international, global organization, Greenpeace focuses its attention on influencing both the public and policymakers of the dangers behind the unrestricted mining and use of fossil fuels. As a regional organization, Greenpeace Southeast Asia focuses on bearing witness to the impacts of global warming, and increasing public awareness of the problems it poses. Greenpeace SEA also seeks to effect changes in the direction of the region's energy policies for the future - moving from fossil fuel dependency towards embracing renewable, clean and sustainable sources of energy.

The Climate and Energy Campaign's tactic is to confront the challenges posed by the fossil fuel industry - in particular, coal-fired power plants and nuclear-based energy - while, at the same time, articulating and pushing for solutions to fossil fuel dependency. For instance, Greenpeace SEA promotes policies and projects that favor energy generated by wind and solar power, and advocates for energy efficient alternatives.

This is the backlash. We've uncovered a scandal involving powerful forces in the Japanese government that benefit from whaling, and it's not surprising they are striking back.

What is surprising is that these activists, who are innocent of any crime, would be arrested for returning whale meat that was stolen from Japanese taxpayers. Theirs are, to date, the only arrests that have been made in the Tokyo public prosecutor's investigation into the embezzlement we documented of millions of yen worth of whale meat.

This was not a police action -- it was an intimidation tactic by the government agencies responsible for whaling -- and the kind of harassment of whistleblowers that a modern democracy should not allow. Our first news that an arrest was imminent came from Japanese television stations. Someone leaked the information to ensure images of Greenpeace activists in handcuffs appeared on news reports in Japan.

More than 40 police officer raided our offices and the homes of the activists, and spent 10 hours seizing cell phones, documents, and computers, despite the fact that we had documented every step of how we obtained the whale meat, turned the full dossier over with the evidence, and made ourselves available to police to help with the investigation at any time. A simple phone call could have brought Junichi and Toru to the police station. Instead, the government made a public spectacle of shutting Greenpeace down.

Don't let Japan shut down the truth. Demand the release of Junichi and Toru and demand an end to the whaling programme in Japan. The corruption of a few bureaucrats who profit from whaling should not be an excuse for harassing those who have exposed it. The domestic and international shame which this scandal is bringing on the Japanese agencies responsible for whaling is just one more reason that Japan should stop its sham scientific whaling programme in the Southern Ocean forever.

Please, take action now and pass this message along to your friends. Let's get Junichi and Toru back with their families, and demand the real criminals go to jail.

Thank you,

The Greenpeace whale team

David Cook........

I had fallen in love with David Cook when I first time ever I saw him singing Billie Jean. Since I didn't watch American Idol from the beginning, so I missed the chance of knowing him......But it really didn't matter b'coz it's never too late to idolize and like someone....... David Cook is someone who could simple sing the menu from the restaurant and it will sound great...!!! Every songs he sang during American Idol were perfect for him......It sounded so good, I kept it playing over, and over again in my mp3........I will never get tired of hearing his great voice. Instead my ring tone is DC's version of 'Everything I do, I do it for you'. I read in his fan-site, that someone wrote that the winning song (Time of My Life) was a cheesy song but David Cook made it so good it didn't sound cheesy.....talked about his influences in the music arena......^_^someone even say that DC is the new image of rock music since Bon Jovi and Daughtry is getting old (strongly agree with this statement)....!!! David Cook is simply like a new phenomena to the music industry. He is so honest, humble, arrogant-in-his-own-way-but-still-look-innocent. So, anyone out there who love DC as much as I do, lets support his fan-site by clicking here.
Enjoy the time of David Cook's life......^_^

Beaded Bracelet ^_^

When I got back home early June for my newborn niece's akikah...I had learned something interesting from my 9-11 years old nieces. That interesting thing was making beaded bracelets....!!!! Imagined, kids that age knew how to make those bracelet.....and it kinda cute as well.....So, I took the opportunity to learn making beaded bracelet so I could sold them later.....It was very easy to make the bracelet and I believed that most people can even make them, it just a matter of your diligence/creativity or not....Even my nephews were able to make them...A day after, I asked my sister to buy the beads for me so I could made them once I returned to KL.....I got so hooked up with the things for a while......Since I have make any promotion at all, I hadn't be able to sell any of those....which was quite frustrating........ However, I did had a few of my friends wanted me to make those bracelets for them. I was so excited. Unluckily, due to limited beaded and limited colour that I had, those bracelets making had to halt just for a while. So, I decided to search online for the beaded bracelet, just to took some ideas, playing with the ideas.......Then, i googled for beaded bracelet and I found a website that sold beads and crystals online...........After choosing the crystal beads that I wanted, I made payment to the owner of the website and 2 days later, I got my crystal beads....!!!! So, cool...!!! I just couldn't wait to go home and making bracelets..........Until now, these were the bracelet that I am able to make and satisfy with the quality............

Colmar Tropicale

24 Mei 2008 yg lepas, me n my cousin buat lawatn smbil blaja ke Colmar Tropicale yg terletak di Bukit Tinggi. Ni kira 1st time kitorg pegi Colmar setelah hampir setahun merancang (akhirnye.....^_^) Kiotrg pegi agak awal dlm lebih kurang kul 10 pagi. Perjalann ke COlmar lebih kurang 45 min je...Permandangan sepanjang jaln mmg cantik, dikelilingi pokok2, sejuk mata memandang..... Sampai kt Colmar tu, mmg terpegun sbb bangunn die mmg cantik, pastu rase cam dok kt Perancis aje.....Almaklum lah, Colmar ni kan, French Theme Park...!!!Tiket utk masuk ke Colmar hanya RM16 shj. Xde lah mahal sangat. Tiket ni utk Colmar Topicale + Japanese Village. Mmg agak berpatutanlah harga die.... Tapi kitaorg rase pelik sbb xde org sangat, i mean it supposed to be full of tourist rite...?? Then, bile masuk dlm bangunn Colmar tu, mmg xde org sangat.....Org yg jaga stall2 kecik tu ade la.......cam kompius lak...!!! Alang2 xde org tu, ape lagi, amik gambr sakan lah. Walaupn kami x bawak kamera, kamera h/p pun jadi lah....Mcm2 posing, kalah model2....huhuhuhu....!!!Dlm Colmar ni, ade la beberapa cafe, tapi harga nye agak lumayan lah. So, nk jimat budget nye psal, kami siap bawak bekal tu...cuma lupa nk bawak air...Nk hilang kn dahaga, kami sempat lepak kt cafe kt situ....smbil tgk org2...time tu org dh mula membanjiri Colmar...yelah sape la yg nk gi situ awal2...kami je yg buat gitu....^_^!!!


Gmbar yg kt sbelah ni time kami ngah tgk show kt situ. Setiap hari akan ade mcm2 showkt pentas kecik Colmar....kitaorg sempat tgk yg Hollywood show tp xde pn "Hollywood sangat", cuma lagu je lagu omputih. Pastu elok je kami nk nk blah dr situ, ade show mcm live band....so, lepak lah situ jap.....pompuan2 tu nyanyi boley la thn, xde la menyakitkn telinga.....

Lepas dah abih show tu, kitaorg pon, berangkat la meninggalkan Colmar, menuju ke Japanese Village....nk ke JV tu, kena lah menapak naik sebab keta kena parking kt bawah.... Walaupn x jauh sgt tp jln tu curam gak la....mmg kena pasang brake emergency...kalu x, boley golek2 jatuh ke bawah... Dh la panas time tu....dengan dahaga nye...smpai je kt situ, trus gi beli air mineral yg berharga RM3.... Lumayan btul....

Kami memulakn perjalann ngan Japanese Garden dulu...Kt dlm taman tu, mmg sejuk je.... very nice view......Sempat gak kasi makan kt ikan.....Utk masuk ke Japanese kena bayar dulu samada utk tea ceremony ataupn skali ngan sewa kimono....Harga sewa tu dh lupa tp kami xde masuk pn dlm tea house tu.....Lepas tu, kami ke Botanical Garden......Jalan2 makan angin......Lepas dah hampir kebosanan kt situ, kami pon berangkat pulang....

Apepn, Colmar ni seswai utk org yg mencari ketenangan @ nk rehat2....... Hopefully dapat ke Colmar lagi...... ^_^!!!!
