I will be away on leave for a week
I will be at the side of the basketball court for a week
I will be with my girls for a week
I will be in the hot sun for a week
I will be going back to Terengganu in a week's time
I will be visiting my relative a week from now
A week from now...
Is also the moment we've been waiting for
The R2V team
Let's just wait and see.

Say a little prayer
Yesterday, I wrote about my 1st year blogging anniversary. I spent a few minutes going through all what I've written in May 2005. I now believe, it is true that when you mention something , when you keep saying it more than once- its like a prayer.
When I read what I've written last year(to be precise on June 02,2005), I just couldn't believe it. I wrote about STF basketball team. I also wrote about the experience I had with the 2002 team in Dungun, Terengganu.
This is also taken from there, "If I could share the experience, the moment with them, make them stronger, to be a fighter, than that will be part of my aim. To help them.To guide them. To make them stronger.How I wish ......."
And another one, "Oh yeah....apart from having a great time here, I feel sad too. I got a text from my friend saying that the basketball tournament for the PPM is on now. And the worst is , it is just in Putrajaya/Cyberjaya !! Oh my god!! Why are these good things happening when I'm not around? It made me feel so sad. I have always promised the players that if they play somewhere near I stay, I'll definitely go and provide support to them. All these years, they had it everywhere else except near KL. And I've been as fas as Dungun , to support them."
Well , its like a prayer answered. This year I will be with the girls. This year I will be with the players. To support them. To motivate them. To cheer for them.
So, be careful of what you say - always say the positive things that you want to achieve/to happen as you might not know the future!

1st year anniversary
What amazed me is that how fast time flies. This time of the year, in 2005, I was in Nottingham - my brother's place. Enjoying my classes, the weather and also busy entertaining and baby-sitting my nephew - the adorable Ammar Kareem. Yes Ammar! I miss you so much. Will you still remember me - your auntie?
Anniversary? 21st May 2005 marked the 1st time I was into blogging. http://spena15.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_spena15_archive.html .Yes - my very first experience writing a blog. The best part is learning how to blog from a close friend who is in Malaysia. Yes - all the way from the UK chatting thru the YM on how to start blogging and how to put in the photos.(that shows how 'free' I was there) And now, after a year - alhamdulillah I am still actively blogging. Its kind of interesting when I read back all my previous blogs last year. One day after another. It sort of like pressing the rewind button on your memories and play it again. Some of the things, when I read it back - I have totally forgotten about it. And it made me realised I am lucky that I learned how to write this blog when I was in Nottingham - a place where I've never dreamt to spent 3 months there. A place where I met a whole lot of new friends. A place where I learned how to make sushi from 3 Malaysians in a Japanese restaurant. What a small world. Meeting 3 nice Malaysians there whom I treat them as family members more than friends. Oh ya....my first ever camping trip - to Snowdonia in Wales. Something which I will not forget for the rest of my life.
Now, after a year, I'm here back in Malaysia, with a different mission.Different objectives. Different life. Different friends to hang out with. Different job. Different lifestyle. Something that I have never dreamt, never planned before.
Comparing to last year and this year's journey of my life - its 2 different experiences.
And I'm loving every minute of it.

I feel like singing to the whole world!!!
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbowWhy, oh why can't I?

Motivating myself
I'm stressed,
I'm tensed
And I'm upset.
While surfing the net, I came across a few quotes:
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness
Heart in champions has to do with the depth of your motivation and how well your mind and body react to pressure.
You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; you are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are.
Do I want to proceed and take the risk?
I'll just have to wait for them to decide ,what they think best for them.........
......I'm not on the losing end here.

Objective vs emotions
Some people cannot differentiate between objective and emotions. Well......I don't care. I've been there. You haven't .If you guys still can't think straight, i f you guys still can't see the difference, I can't do anything much to help.
I just don't care anymore. I'm sad.....very sad....but up till now....I just don't care and don't have the heart anymore.
I just don't care anymore. I'm sad.....very sad....but up till now....I just don't care and don't have the heart anymore.

I'm a Tiger
In the East, the Tiger symbolizes power, passion and daring.
The Tiger is a fortunate person to have around, provided that you are prepared for all the activity that comes along with his dynamic personality.
Their vigor and love of life are stimulating. In short, the captivating Tiger loves being the center of attention.
They must speak their mind when upset. But just as they are quick-tempered, they are equally sincere, affectionate and generous. What's more, they have a marvelous sense of humor.
Every Tiger has the humanitarian touch in them. They love babies, animals or anything that can catch their imagination and attention for the span of the moment.
When they get involved, their involvements are total. Everything, even breathing, will have to take second place to the object of their adulation. They are never halfhearted about their endeavors, and one can trust the Tiger to give 100 percent of themselves or even more if they had it in them to do so.
The more sensual types usually have a fling at the bohemian life in their youth. Some never grow out of it.
No matter how down and out the Tiger is, no matter to what depths of despair and depression they plunge, don't believe for one moment that they will ever say die! There will always be a tiny spark left somewhere in that unquenchable spirit of them to rekindle the fire and start them living and loving all over again.
A bit too intense to rely on in times of stress, the Tiger is still renowned for their ability to sway the crowd. At their best, they are warm, sensitive and sympathetic. At their worse, they are obstinate, unreasonable and selfish.
The lady Tiger is the most charming and radiant of hostesses. She can combine home and social life with aplomb. But don't taunt her, she keeps her claws sharpened just in case she has need of them.
She is great with the children, too. After she shows she loves them, she makes sure to enforce the law. She makes them mind their manners, and if they perform well, she is extremely generous with rewards. Now, how can anyone resist that?
The Tiger native has a super ego. Money, power and fame will mean nothing if his ego is hurt. Thwarted, the Tiger could turn out to be the meanest and pettiest bully you ever came across. He will go to any length to get revenge, even to bringing down the house with him. Little slights will enrage him, but he may let big issues pass without a fuss. Just remember, he hates being ignored!
Paradoxically, his two main shortcomings in life will be his rashness on one hand and indecision on the other. If he can learn to take the middle of the road, the Tiger will be a roaring success.
At heart, the Tiger is a romantic. He is playful yet passionate and sentimental all at the same time, and it will be quite an experience being in love with or married to one.
On the whole, the Tiger's life will be volatile. It will be filled to the brim with laughter, tears, pain, joy, despair and every conceivable emotion in the dictionary. If there is one thing one should never do it is to feel sorry for him. He won't need it, either: he can only love life if he is allowed to live it to the hilt in whatever manner he chooses. The Tiger is the ultimate optimist who will always bounce back for fresh challenges.
