the power of music

to be more precise, this post should be titled 'the power of mimi' hehe...

tuned on my stereo in my room at 9.45pm, hitz.fm was playing Mariah Carey’s song. then I realized they will be playing MC’s songs whole night long to celebrate her wedding. I was so happy and instantly sms-ed Kent, the only person that I know who adores MC as much as I do hehe...

I was quite in a low mood this few days due to some family argument but by listening to MC whole night long singing the latest ‘bye bye’ to the not #1 hit but famous ‘breakdown’ to the awesome ‘emotions’ to the old school ‘let it be’ to my mum’s favorite “always be my baby’, it definitely does cheer me up. it was like a mini concert to me (or was it mini karaoke-thon coz I was singing all the way?) :P

my mood now is definitely more joyful by just simply listening to MC. thanks hitz.fm for what you had aired tonite. you would never thought that you had just put smile on this silly gal :)

my travelogue.... (part I)

I was quite excited and happy the whole day as we had yet confirmed another trip this year end. I was so energetic that makes me motivated to hit the gym and sweat it out... but that feeling only last till I got a call from my mum to ask me to pick up my sis at 8pm. I was so frustrated that my schedule was disrupted and kept on asking myself why do I always have to cater myself to them, why do I always have to follow their schedule and not them following mine, why do I always have to bear the responsibilities when they are grown up enough to take their own responsibilities themselves.

anyway, since I reached home early and I didn’t want to talk nor look at any of them. I hid in my room, playing with my mp3 player and digital camera and my handphone until I noticed this calendar in my handphone which I keep all my travelogue. so I thought of putting it in here since I have my own blog...

I wasn’t from some rich family that had the chance to study or travel oversea (I'm not blaming anyone for it) and since the day I dreamt about traveling around the world, I told myself I must save hard to fulfill my dream with my own hand. I only started working April 2004 and with low starting income and car loan on hand, I didn’t manage to save much to travel far but we still kick started our travel spirit...
