Loving the cover of Britney’s – Hold It Against Me.
Its a slower cover of the original, sounding just as good, if not better

Stepped foot for the first time to Pulau Hantu. Indeed, there are no hantu on pulau hantu, well, at least I didn’t encounter one!
It fascinates me that despite its proximity to Pulau Bukom, the island is thriving with loads of marine life. And I am all too happy to share with you what I’ve spotted.
This pretty Wiggly star anemone has to be one of my favorite finds from Pulau Hantu, because of the sheer amount of time camping out at a spot to watch it unfold from its hiding!
This shy anemone hides upon any sign of danger, but its worth the wait to see it.
Beautiful Sunset of Pulau Hantu.

and so jan 2011 has been a flurry of activity… both personal and work wise. somehow, it doesn’t feel the same anymore, perhaps its just me.
i never felt so blessed to be able to see live marine creatures swimming up close in my midst, of the low tides and living their lives in an underwater world, where water is their very element for survival.
in case you are wondering what prompted me to write today, i would just have to say that its all because the mind went ‘ting!’ and here I am, trying to make sense of everything that the mind is telling me.
perhaps i have failed in some areas, excel in some, may be neither here nor there, but they all taught me something, in a humbling way. of course, i won’t deny i screw up, but hey, didn’t you too?!
this post really don’t make any freaking sense especially i am in dire need of sleep. LOL.
xoxo,

Just gonna share with you another song from Burlesque, and this struck a chord with my heartstrings…
Cher – You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me
I love the scene in which she performs during the movie, and the vocals never failed to move me…
Lyrics after the jump.
A stick of lip balm always goes into my bag whenever I head out, and I will use them as often as I can, because I tend to have chapped and dry lips, making it unsightly when I apply lipsticks and lip gloss.
The Aloe Lip Balm which I have tried have proven effective moisturizing and keeping the lips feeling good, without the dry and coarse chapped skin around it. It applies on smoothly, yet it does not leave the lips feeling overwhelmed with the oily feeling.
In the course of using it for 1 month and counting, this lip balm has also proved handy when dealing with mozzie bites. Yes, despite it being a lip balm, it also works at relieving the itch of mozzie bites, as well as soothing rash.
Just to note that this lip balm contains no artificial flavoring, thus it is safe to be applied to the skin. I’ve experienced no rash or allergic reactions from using this lip balm.
Oh yes, you can purchase them at Vinci Lipgloss. May I add that the price of this lip balm is $8.00 inclusive of normal postage? Quite reasonable
Many thanks to Jasmine for making this review possible.
Do visit her blog http://www.vinci-lipgloss.blogspot.com/ and check out the other lip glosses that she is selling as well.

Totally loving this movie… BURLESQUE.
Feeling freaking tempted to buy the soundtrack. 
Manage to catch it yesterday afternoon, and boy, it blown me away, with all that music, dance, and its enchanting, just like magic. I shall not reveal the spoilers, but please, do yourself a favor and catch it before the run is over

Thanks to Ivan, I chanced upon this song:
Britney Spears – Hold it against me
Pretty catchy, and loads of electronic sounds. Puts my feet in a very dancing kinda of mood…
Enjoy it, and party Friday away!

You gave:
The gift of sight to see little wonders around us
The gift of hearing to hear pleasant and kind words
The gift of speaking to articulate and communicate
The gift of smell to slow down and smell the flowers by the road side
The gift of touch to touch hearts around us
Just a random attempt to string some words together… though I ought to add that everything is coming together nicely, in certain aspects of my life.
Ironing out kinks is difficult, though each day, a small step in progress beats better than stagnating.
