Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be patient.

Leave your answer in the comment and I'll get back to you with the right answer.

Good luck! :))

Late afternoon today something totally unexpected but nonetheless exciting happened to me that makes me feel like I’m floating on cloud nine. Lalalala~ just pure joy and extreme happiness as my efforts seems to be paid off. And yet somehow at the same time it troubles me because I’m not sure if I can pull it through.

Naaaaah~ what the heck. Who cares? Since I’ve sign up for it, might as well as enjoy the ride.

Mr 14th October, here I come!!

Dilemma #1

I went shopping the other day at Alamanda with the intention of buying a new pair of jeans. When I stopped by Goggle, there was one that catches my eyes. It was a gray wash out jeans with neat brick red seam along both sides. The back pockets seem proportionally sized and spaced with a complimenting ‘Goggle’ stitches. It’s literally love at first sight!

You know for one thing I am not the fussy-girl type when it comes to fashion. I’d simply move on when the one I wanted isn’t available. But at that time it was totally unusual. I have this urge of wanting to own this pair of jeans as if the jeans was screaming to me, “Own me and you will feel the heavenly bliss that you never felt before”. At that instance I made up my mind. Since the price was also within my budget limit, I don’t see why I shouldn’t get one. So I check with the sales girl, but I was disappointed to find out that design were out of stock; the only sizes left were 26 and 27. “Hey, never mind”, I thought. There are other Goggle stores that sold them; I just need little more effort to look for them.

And so I embark on a quest to search for that SACRED pair of jeans at Jusco Cheras Selatan and The Mines but with no prevail. They don’t have it, none of them; I mean NONE of them have it. The frustration I felt was out of this world; it’s as if someone out there from the CIA or FBI is on conspiracy to hide that pair of jeans from me. Urggghh!!

I know the only alternative left is Midvalley; the last place on my search list, but getting there is an adventure I’d like to steer clear from. Either by komuter or my car, I just hate it. The crowd and the traffic are just beyond reasonable. So, I only have this to say:

Damn you Goggle for making my life miserable!

Dilemma #2

I am a big BIG fan of Paramore and Adam Lambert. Their music inspires me in a lot of ways. I even have all their tracks in my precious E71 that I can listen to whenever and wherever. And guess what? Both of them are coming here this month! Adam’s Glamnation Tour is on the 14th and Paramore on the 19th. I know for sure it’s going to be huge.

Then I have these delicate imaginary psychological issues with crowds. I don’t know why but I just can’t stand being surrounded by too many people. Pasar malam and uptowns are among the worst. Not that I never go to such places, it’s just that for me it is more energy-consuming than any other average people and I can get tired easily, because I find it hard for me to concentrate, think and act at the same time with all these motions and rackets going around. Sometimes my mind can go into a total black out and I’ll stand in the crowd not knowing what to do and where to go. The best part is when my migraine kicks in and I have to use every single fibre in my body to stay calm and nice when in fact I’m just all grumpy so that I won’t ruin everyone’s mood. *sigh*

So, the problem now - I want to watch their concerts but I can’t stand being in a crowd. Thinking that I would spent hundreds of ringgits just to have total mind black out and migraine just doesn’t seem right. So, I only have this to say:

Damn you Adam! Damn you Paramore! You guys are in Malaysia and I can’t be there. Thanks a lot!

For everything that happens to me, I blame it all on October!

Damn you Mr October!

Why do you have to be such a pain in the ass?!!

But then again I'm sorry Mr October.

I know I was born in October but why are you making it so hard for me?

I guess I have no one else to blame but me.

*sigh*

Entri kali ni nak cerita pasal tergolek, tersungkur dan terjatuh. Dah lama dah nak tulis pasal tajuk ni, tapi malas punya pasal selalu tak jadi. Akhirnya tercapai juga hasrat ni.

Tergolek, tersungkur dan terjatuh di atas tu sebenarnya bukan kata kerja, tapi kata nama. Dengan erti kata lain Stumbleupon. Apa itu Stumbleupon? Stumbleupon ni ialah sebuah laman web untuk mereka yang suka berinternet tapi tak tahu nak surf apa selain dari facebook dan twitter.

Caranya begini.

Pertama sekali anda perlu mendaftar dan membuka akaun dulu (percuma jah).

Lepas tu, anda perlu memilih topik kegemaran anda dan klik butang “Start Stumbling”.

Pilih sama ada anda mahu muat turun add-on stumbleupon “Get the add-on now” atau mahu mulakan sesi golek-tergolek “Start Stumbling”.

Kalau dah nampak toolbar stumbleupon kat atas, voila~ anda telah berjaya tergolek dengan selamatnya. Mudah je kan? Stumbleupon ni menggunakan konsep rawak, di mana ia akan dengan rawaknya memilih laman web untuk dilayari berdasarkan topik pilihan anda. Kalau anda terjumpa laman web yang best dan nak kongsi dengan kawan-kawan yang lain, klik saja pada ikon facebook/twitter/email/share. Kalau nak balik semula ke homepage akaun, klik je kat ikon bentuk rumah tu.


Kalau anda suka dengan laman web itu, boleh naikkan jari (ala-ala facebook gitew~).
Bila jari dah naik, link laman web tersebut akan dipaparkan pada homepage akaun anda macam dalam gambar kat atas tu.

Aku dah jumpa macam-macam laman web guna si stumble ni, antara yang aku suka ialah laman web ni: Sandrine Estrade Boulet (topik: Arts)

Kadang-kadang laman web yang dia kasi pun entah apa-apa, tapi layankan je la. Kalau terjumpa laman web yang best tu, kongsi-kongsi la kat facebook ke, twitter ke, blog sendiri ke. Ingat, bila bergolek tu biarlah berpada ye. Selamat menggolekkan diri~!

Nota kaki: terima kasih kpd inchek tomi kerana memperkenalkan si stumble kpd saya :)

Sejak akhir-akhir ni dah menjadi kebiasaan pula keluar menonton wayang seorang diri. Bila terasa nak tengok movie je, bangun bersiap dan terus keluar. Kalau tiba-tiba temujanji/ rancangan dibatalkan pada saat-saat akhir, terus singgah beli tiket kat panggung terdekat.

Banyak kelebihan bila menonton wayang sendirian; tak perlu SMS, tak perlu menunggu, tak perlu mencari. Tak leceh bila memilih tempat duduk yang strategik. Tak perlu mengikut suara majoriti dan menonton filem yang tak digemari. Mudah dan senang. Lagi best kalau buat marathon, beli terus semua tiket, pop corn dan air dan tontonlah sampai lebam.

Tapi, menonton wayang sendirian pun tak semestinya seronok sangat. Setiap kali aku tengok movie berseorangan, brader kat kaunter tiket tu mesti tanya, “Tengok sorang je ke?” Hadei~ dah kalau aku beli tiket satu je, boleh ke masuk dua orang?? Perlu ke tanya lagi? *geleng2 kepala*

Tak kisahlah tengok sendirian ataupun dengan kawan-kawan, tapi aku memang kaki wayang tegar. Antara filem yang dah masuk dalam “Must Watch List” aku sampai hujung tahun ni: (sila klik pada tajuk movie untuk sinopsis)
