Beserah Beach, Kuantan

2 weeks ago the official 7 weeks school break started. Since hubby will be away almost every weekend in late Nov and Dec so we thought we brought the kids for an early getaway. So we made a quick or rather last minute arrangement to bring them to the East coast, Kuantan. Since it was the first weekend of the school break so most of the touristy place was 'empty' still. So we sort of have the resort pretty much to ourselves. The boys enjoyed the beach very much.
We had dinner at the famous Pak Su Seafood restaurant. Food not only delicious but reasonably priced too (you cant get such price in KL well, maybe in Kuala Selangor) mmm... heaven!

Rainism - the 5th album


When Rain's Love Story video clip appeared in Channel V and MTV some 3 weeks ago, I was bombarded with questions like 'why is he so thin?, why the hair like that, have you seen it?, what do you think of the new songs?' etc. Like I'm a spoke person for him or something in the office. But okay being unofficially the most crazy person over Rain (at least in the office), I accept the challenges and answer such quiries diligently. But there are actually many new videos on his new album but Channel V/MTV only showed one so I'm subjected to answering the same question over and over again, everytime someone come across the music video on the TV screens and mind you there are MANY tv screens in my office. *sigh* but secretly ... I'm enjoying the limelight ha! ha! ^_^
I got the album last week and lucky for my youngest son that school break is here or he has to put up with me playing the CD over and over again in the car whenever I send him to school (those were my hubby's remark) which is very true! :)
Below is the sample of his new songs. Most of his video clips are not out yet but he performed in a few award and TV shows recently. The thing about Rain is that he is such a talented dancer that I really prefer 'seeing' him in action compare to just listening to his music especially those fast number. So enjoy.

Talking in Bed by Antonya Nelson


This is one of those 'clever' book which analyse human emotions, feelings and thoughts until it paralyses you, well at least me. Clearly this is not my type of book. The book reminds me of 'This much I know is true' book. Storyline definitely typical NOT. I can't help but thinking about the Oprah show where sometimes you seen the issue or problem brought forward for the day makes you go like 'these people have too much time on their hands' to worry/dwell upon these kinds of human emotion or unsolve problem they call it. For the rest of us, normal, ordinary folks -who doesnt has the luxury of time to search deep within you, we would just go c'mon, snap out of it and get on with life!!

Kindergarden Musical

Danial my 6 year old, graduated from kindergarden last Saturday. Next year he will be in Primary One. He refused to disclose anything to us before the concert night that all of us were literally clueless of what he will be performing that night. Turned out that he participated in 2 dances. We really enjoyed ourselves at the concert which ended at 10pm. This is part one of his concert night.

1 Minute 1 Second by Epik High



I first heard this song bout 3 weeks ago on one of the Korean public radio station. Cant get it out of my head since. Its a fusion of hip hop and dare I say ballad? Ha! Ha! I'm not an expert in melody. All I know is I like the song especially the chorus- kinda catchy. Thanks to a video with a subtitle, now I understand the lyrics more (not that it ever matter to me). Most foreign songs I enjoyed, I dont even understand a single word. This is a good one from Epik High - enjoy.

Fridge magnet (85) - Cebu


Lucky hubby got back from his Cebu trip last Sunday evening. Amongst his extra luggage was a Phillipine made guitar which he bought. So he's been practising most of the night and I'm being serenade with guitar strum every nite before I fell asleep ^_^
