faith/ dream?

Dunia ini penuh dgn realitas n realitas , terutama kalo kita tinggal di negara2 maju dimana mereka tidak begitu mempercayai hal2 mistik seperti takdir, mimpi, astrology etc. Well, raise n born in Asian countries n moved to developed country for over 4 years , bener2 membuat ku seperti di pertengahan jalan ie antara percaya ato tidak percaya dgn hal2 seperti ini. On one hand kalo ku bilang tidak percaya dgn hal2 itu, kejadian2 mistik pernah terjadi, buktinya tadi pagi ku nonton deal or no deal n salah satu teman peserta itu memimpikan kalo peserta itu menang duit 75000 poundsterling n itu bener2 terjadi, so the question is apakah itu bener2 terjadi? on the other hand, kalo kita bilang percaya hal2 mistik, kenapa sekarang ini semua yg bermunculan adalah berdasarkan fakta2? seperti curse ttg diamond, nenek moyang kera etc. so apa yg harus ku percayaiin ya?

Letters to Juliet

Semalam ku pigi nonton dgn temen ku n judul movie nya 'letters to juliet'. Penggambaran-nya bagus n kota2 indah di Europe. Cerita movie ini romantis banget, ttg cinta yg hilang dan karena sebuah surat seorg wanita ini willing to travel fr UK to Italy just to find her love back. Cerita ini juga memberi makna bahwa true love itu gak bakal hilang sebagaimana tua nya kita dan itu patut di raih dan kalau kita mencintai seseorg kita harus bilang dan mengejar cinta itu, jgn jd coward. its romantis line n sewaktu penanyangan film itu, itu membuat ku berpikir apa bener memang ada cinta seperti itu exist di dunia sekarang ini? ato itu hanya romantisme film? kalau memank masi ada cinta seperti itu, that would be great, but if its not then too bad then, karna in my opinion, biar bagaimana pun kita hidup di dunia yg realitis ini setidaknya masih ada secuil harapan , miracle etc. which brighten our days. Hidup ini tidak selalu kejam n too realitis ato daku hanya pemimpi yg mengharapkan hal2 seperti itu? wkt penanyangan movie itu, jg membuat ku berpikir ttg org2 yg ku cintai/sayangi, apa mereka menyanyangi ku ato hanya mulut belaka? n bagaimana kita bisa bertindak kalo mereka sama sekali tidak menunjukkannya ? itu juga membuat ku berpikir ttg dulu, pasif n tdk menunjukkan -hanya sedikit. Apa ini kebalikan dr dulu n sekarang ? Apa yg hrs ku lakukan? berilah ku tanda2 itu...

Bakerzin vs Bel Mondo, Medan

It has been a week since I came back from Indonesia and few months left before leaving the UK. At some point, I am quite excited about that but quite sad to leave :( Anyway I did have good time in Indonesia and I actually visited nice and posh restaurants /cafe at Medan. Two of them are Bakerzin and Bel Mondo. Bakerzin is situated opposite sushi tei, Tengku Umar, it is one of the newest cafe at Medan. Its settings and decoration r nice - old style home outside with a touch of minimalis n modern decoration inside. I was there with Ma n bro, we were greeted by a front house member n we were given choice of sitting upstairs which is a fine dining or downstair which is just a normal dining. As me always be me, I chose upstairs, there is a 5.5% service charge in which I think is appropriate to pay as the service given to us were good, member of staffs were very attentive n polite. It was just that the music on that day were quiet loud, giving the circumstances that it was a day time. We ordered seafood spaghetti, crispy dips ( which consist ofa fried fish, fried beef balls, potato wedges,etc) , creme brulee and ice creams. All of it were good but I found a crack of tupperware inside my ice cream. But overall, everything was good.

On my last nite, my bro asked me to bring him to Bel Mondo, its one of the well known cafe/restaurants at Medan. However comparing to the service n foods that I got above, it seems that I rather to have meals on former than latter. However there is no service charge in Bel Mondo.

educated, education?

My last night in Bristol before going for hol , so thinking of writing my blog before I go. One of the observation that I notice ths few days is on taking care of a family either small or large. I am from a small family which consists of parents n 2 children and we are very closed and sometimes as its closed till makes u think that u dont have freedom to do wht u need to do in which make u think that its nice to have a large family and in that case ur parents would not pay all attentions to u. However, I noticed one thing few days ago on a large family, it appears that children from the latter are having too much freedoms till it appears that they r not being taking care properly. I do believe that parents do play important roles in raising and contribute to the behaviour's of their children in present n future.Not only do parents play important roles raising children , but the children themselves do so as no matter how hard parents do teach their children to behave but if the children themselves never ever want to change , there is no point of doing that and wht parents could do might be just advising especially after the children have turned into adults.
I remember while I was at Earl's ct waiting for train, there was a big massive arguments between a boy n his father, they were arguing not like a father n a child but as mates :( . From my observation, there must something happened which triggered how the child reacted /rude to the child's parents. :?

observe, learn and improve self

One of my subjects that I did for A'level was sociology and I remember that sociology's teacher always told us -in order for us to learn, we need to look, read and write - well can I put that 'look, read and write ' as similar to 'observe and learn in which we would be able to improve ourselves? not only in terms of attitudes or behaviour of one self but also on how we treat and respect others. I am not saying that one must change or alter his/her attitude and not be who they are but learning and improving self to be a better person but still keep whats good for us and I think that's one of the purposes of life too- to be a better person and give a contribution to a society where we live in.

Also, it seems that just becos they got a position in life ie much more power compared to some certain people, the former are acting like they are the King to the latter. Why do ths people need to act in tht way? cant they just be normal? Further , there are also some people who keep widging and complain all the times without improving themselve in which I see no points of doing that.

Was out with Keke, Stev n Christine for dinner in Bridge Cafe yesterday; lovely meals n desserts. Also watched Hachiko in the morning and as usual as stubborn as I am normally, I thought that I would not cry becos of a movie. Its such a good movie n it also shows that how loyal a dog can be n it makes me wonder whether a human being can be loyal too since a dog can be ....n what would it be if the dog passed away before the owner? Hachiko also reminds me of my dog, Cody, he passed away 2 days after I left my hometown. Cody is actually my brother's dog, its a bday pressie from me to him but I took care of him most times even though I did not really fancy dogs as I am ths days.

Anyways, we girls r meeting out again ths wednesday for Yo Sushi,oh gosh I m really addicted to that place. n If not busy, I m going to tante Hirim's house for BBQ on 5 apr. n home aftawerds. :)

Me and my fren has just created a new blog for our food exploration as 2 of us love to go out n search, n have a nice meal. I think it is a good idea to create a blog for that as we can share food's information- wht best or nt to other ppl too. I saw an article too on 10 quirky restaurants in the UK , perhaps me n my fren should try foods in that restaurant too
