I am a Reality TV Freak!

So far I've followed the Amazing Race (America & Asia), Survivor, The Apprentice, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Beauty and the Geek, The Big Loser, American Idol, Malaysian Idol, Indonesian Idol, So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD), Singapore Idol, The Dance Floor, America's Next Top Model, Fear Factor...hmm what else eh?

Although some people criticized 'teruk-teruk' Reality TV shows, but for me, I love watching the colourful characters of God's creation. I watched it not juz for the sake of watching it, I actually learn from these people. They portray positive attitudes, act as an inspiration, believer of themselves and tell the world that nothing is impossible.

In the American Idol or SYTYCD, some of them really really believe that they can sing or dance but actually they can't. Although the judges or other people think that they are horrible, what amazed me is their high level of self confidence and their believe in themselves. What others think of them is not important. This is one positive attitude that we can take.

Another show that I love is The Big Loser. This show is about EXTREMELY obese people who aim to lose weight through proper dieting and exercise. It's a big booster, motivation and inspiration for those who intend to lose weight. I love to see their expressions when they lost a few pounds at the end of the show. For those who got voted out each week, they will show how the contestant continue with their life at home and what's their current weight at the end of it. They do lost a great amount of weight and that really amazed me. How in the world do they have the perserverance, motivation and will power to continue exercising and dieting to reach their ultimate goal?! For me, hangat-hangat taik ayam jer. Exercise satu dua bulan, terus berhenti. Kalau dah gemuk sikit, baru exercise lagik. Tch tch tch...teruk punya case.

Anyway, thank you Reality TV shows. You have kept me occupied almost every nite. Monday nite - The Amazing Race All-Stars, Tue nite, hmm no show, Wed nite - American Idol/The Dance Floor, Thur nite - American Idol/The Dance Floor Result show, Fri nite - Survivor Fiji, Sat - don't have, Sun - used to be The Apprentice, but now..no more. :(

My masterpiece

My masterpiece is finally ready! This is my supposedly "2 weeks stay-at-home" project. Didn't manage to complete it in 2 wks though. It took me one month actually to complete everything.

I made the cross-stitch especially for my friend, Victoria, as a wedding present. I am supposed to give it to her on 9 Feb, which is her wedding ceremony, but since I didn't manage to complete it on time, I'll give it to her tomorrow. Hee hee. I sincerely hope she'll like it.

To Victoria and Selvam, congratulations and welcome to the marriage life. Hope that this beautiful journey which you will share together will bring more joy and meaning to your life.

Penantian Satu Penyeksaan

Setiap detik berlalu, terasa lambat ku rasakan. Hati dan perasaanku seperti sedang menaiki 'roller-coaster'. Adakalanya aku gembira dan tenang, adakalanya aku berasa cemas dan takut..takut sejarah silam berulang kembali. Memang betul apa yg dikatakan...penantian satu penyeksaan.

Apakah penantian ini akan berakhir dengan kegembiraan, ataupun sebaliknya? Setelah sekian lama aku menantinya...adakah aku akan mengecapi kebahagiaan yg dinantikan? Atau, adakah sejarah silam tetap akan menghantui hidupku lagi? Sesungguhnya aku pasrah....

Aku berserah kepadaMu Ya Allah. Sesungguhnya semuanya berada ditanganMu sekarang. Aku telah berusaha dan aku telah berdoa kepadaMu setiap hari, supaya hari yg ku nantikan akan tiba dgn penuh kegembiraan. Sesungguhnya aku lemah. Aku tidak berdaya berbuat apa-apa melainkan dgn izinMu Ya Allah.

"Kun Fayakun". Aku sangat-sangat mengharapkan keredhaan dan keikhsananMu. Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pengasih dan Maha Penyayang. Hanya Engkau yg tahu apa yg terbaik buat hamba-hambaMu yg lemah ini. Aku pasrah Ya Allah. Aku berserah kepadaMu.

Adakah sejarah silam akan berulang kembali? Ataupun kebahagiaan akan kukecapi?

Aku akan menanti dan terus menanti....
