Confidence Quotes of the day…

mynameisima — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 21:20:13 +0000

“There is only one security, and when you've lost that security, you've lost everything you've got. And that is the security of confidence in yourself; to be, to create, to make any position you want to make for yourself. And when you lose that confidence, you've lost the only security you can have. … Self-confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. And when he hasn't got that, not all the pearls in China nor all the grain and corn in Iowa can give him security, because that's the only security there is.”

Baa Baa Black Sheep..

Ima's version

Baba black sheep

Have you any wool

Yes sir, yes sir

Three bags full

One for my master

One for …….

And one for the little girl who lives down the drain

Eddie's version

Baaaabaaaaa black sheep

Have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir

Three bags full

One for my master

One for my SLAVE

And one for the little boy

Who lives in the cave.

(i can't recall the rest of it because I was busy laughing..hehe)

The REAL version

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!

One for the master, one for the dame,

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Heh. We argued for almost 5 minutes about whose version is right. I really thought mine's correct because hmmm.. SLAVE?? Hehehe.. Karut giler. Thank God for Google… if not, we'll be debating until God knows when But seriously, I thought it's little GIRL, not little BOY kan? Hmmm… nevermind. Errr… about the "living down the drain" part tu, I pun rasa tak logic sebenarnya. LOL. Hehehehe. On the other hand, at least mind sounds ALMOST like the real version although not logical at all! Haha. Unlike Eddie and his SLAVES??! Haiyaaa….

Eddie, Eddie……..

As Much As I Hate You…

.. As much as I hate your unreliability, wordpress.. I still feel tempted to add more entries tonight. Quite weird. Although I have lots of thoughts on my mind all the time, I rarely share them with anyone. Usually I’ll be doing something else like cooking or sightseeing while in the background my mind is actively working, evaluating, thinking about an issue from many perspectives, imagining a situation, and at the end come up with a conclusion. My mind is a complex one. But by the time I log in to my blog, my mind just went BLANK. The hardest part is writing the first sentence! I’ll be spending a few minutes in front on my laptop.. writing, deleting, re-writing, deleting the first paragraph until I feel satisfied before I proceed with my thoughts. Most of the time, by then my mood in sharing are already ruined..and I just logged off without updating my blog(s). Hehe.

Yeah. I have a number of blogs before. A few at blogspot.com… and one on Friendster(which I mainly use as an archive for the results of the quizzes that I’ve done).. and now I’m trying my hand at wordpress.. I like the theme which I’m using now. It doesn’t look like the usual “Ima”. I admit it. Those who know me well will expect me to use something with bold or sweet colours, fun & colourful.. but this time around I feel more at ease using a simple theme for my blog. Heh. Question for the day “Am I getting more mature?”

Hmm.. right now I’m listening to New Editions’ I’m Still In Love With You. Pergh! Jiwang giler.

I’m still the man for you
And I’m still the man that’s true
And I’m still the man who’s lucky
And I’m still in love with you
It don’t matter what your friends do
They’re just jealous of me and you
And I’ll always keep you happy
‘Cause I’m still in love with you
I’m still in love

The song was released back in 1996.. But I just knew its existence this year. Came across the song while looking for some songs on my LimeWire. Sigh. I’m quite bored since my BitTorrent can’t be used now. Not sure what causes the problem, but everytime I open the programme, my computer slows down. Huh. So I have to close it. It has been going on for 2 weeks now and I have done everything from repairing my Windows using the Recovery CD to deleting some movies file for extra space to defragmenting etc.. But to no avail. Hmm.. so my last resort is uninstalling the BitTorrent and get myself a new one. Huhu. Maybe I’ll do it tonight since I plan to download Anugerah Industri Muzik from torrentmalaya. Can’t miss the event!!

Anyway, I just discovered a few sites which offer Online TV. So, have been spending the last 3 days watching Radio Television Brunei on my laptop. Tried watching RTM, but seems like there’s some problem with its link. Sigh. Hmm… nak tak nak, tengok je la RTB tu. At first I got headaches trying to adjust my ears to their Bahasa Baku.. hehe.. I just found it quite hard to accept people talking in a very formal way (if the same way of talking is used in Malaysia), because in Semenanjung Malaysia, the Bahasa Baku is only used in formal occassions and at times people even (jokingly)call it as bahasa skema. Huhu.. No offence to my dearie Borneo friends. This is just a personal opinion of mine. But still, I’m thankful to be able to watch a Malay tv when my bittorrent is completely unusable now. Sigh.

Hmm… OK. I feel like vamoosing for the 3rd time now for tonight. LOL. Maybe I’ll be back later if I got anything else to say. Hehe.

errr… this thing is quite addictive huh?

DAMN IT!

U know what, I've written a loooong entry on my passion in architecture when suddenly this unreliable wordpress.com makes a "damn-you-this-is-not-funny-at-all joke" as soon as I clicked "save".. ERGH!!! What happened was the page refreshed itself and suddenly I was sent to a blank page. When I clicked back… I'm back at the 'write page' but all of my 'wise words' were GONE!!! SETUPID!!! Very frustrating. I should have just copied it first before I clicked save!!! Why didn't I think??!! Come to think of it, I didn't even write anything which can hurt other people.. I was only sharing my views & passion(which I hardly did before..).. Huhuhu.. Apa salahku? Now I'm back to the normal Ima's ways of blogging, which is only writing a blog when I'm annoyed at something. And at this moment I'm damn annoyed with wordpress.com. Huh. Ni yang rasa nak quit ni. Damn U.

OK. I don't feel like blabbering much now. I have better things to do than updating my blog at wordpress.com(sux!).. Later.

note to self: Don't forget to copy this entry before clicking Save!.

Am I Ima or Irma?

mynameisima — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 20:54:53 +0000

Hehehe. Feel like changing my nickname to Irma (which is also half of my real name..). What is my reason for doing that (after almost 21 years being known as 'Ima')? Hmm.. It's weird, but suddenly after 2 decades, now I appreciate the fact that that Irma sounds more formal & professional(maybe a bit classy as well. Heh. Perasan lak).. Is that a sign that I'm getting more mature?( perasan kali kedua.. ). Yeah. I'm 21, turning 22 ( in 3 months time. InsyaAllah.).. and I have friends who have already started working, get married & have a baby ( Congrats to Mash & hubby for their baby Hazeeq .. The first mum in our batch.. Hot & sizzling! Woohoo! ).. Err.. Where was I? Oh, OK. Back to ME!!(I'm good at getting a conversation out of topic, am I not?) Haha. So, yeah.. I think it's normal to feel this way. And secretly, I do hope that this name will bring me more luck & success(not like it has any meaning in Islam though)…

Well.. I'll continue this later. Gotta have my dinner first. Starving.
