"FOR FRODO!" The brave spirit Aragorn showed at that time touched me, coz when everybody else were like having second thought when they were surrounded by the enemies, about fighting the ugly orcs and he just marched and ready to slashed anything that came to him. And also when Aragorn fell and the big giant orc was ready to squashed him with his big leg Legolas saw it and the efforts he took to get to Aragorn in the midst of the massacre was really, really shone. Then when Frodo was ready to quit coz he couldn't climb the mountain anymore, Sam said "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" and lifted Frodo despite of his own tiredness to get to the peak to destroy the Ring. Guess their spirits of Fellowship was not forgotten easily. I have read the book so although I knew all the story and how it ended, watching it was another exciting experience. I got to know whether my imagination before was correct (I like to imagine the scene according to story wrote by the author, the way they described something or the character(s) was usually very remarkable). 25th was a happy day for my dear friend Azie whom getting engaged that day. Her fiancee, a friend of lanun too, came along. Take a look at their pictures I took during the ceremony.She looked so happy, that I almost envy them (",) hope mine will come soon..

Still shocked from last night news - 2 TUDM's Hawk aircraft type 100 crashed near the Pantai Sepat strait. Both pilot died (both were TUDM's captain). Never feel more relieved when I read the name(Allah forgive me). May they die in peace..Al- Fatihah..
Today is our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad's 78th birthday. Wish him good health.

Finished reading the book lanun bought for me (Holy Fools) . At first it wasn't very interesting but after a few chapters the book actually was very captivating :) Am looking for a book entitled Man And Wife by Tony Larson. Found out about it from a friend's site (thnx sam). Buying online is easy but most of the site was located oversea and the shipping will cost me as much as if I buy it here. Plus I can see myself the condition of the book so hope I can find it here. Kinokuniya (KLCC) sounds so tempting but I'll look at local stores here in Malacca first. I planned to go to PC Fair at PWTC this weekend but considering I have lotsa things to buy and spend next month (ehmm) so I have to let it pass. It's been months since my pc 'kong' so now it just sit there at one of the corner in my house, served well as the dumb terminal :) That should be one of my resolution for next year- fix my pc. Yup, that definitely will go at the top of my list.

Went to 3 open house yesterday- one at Datuk Jamil's house (lunch hour) and another two last night (Mie's and EN Irwan's house) Arrived home at 11.10 pm. Haven't anything from lanun since yesterday. Wonder if his sortie to KK yesterday went as planned coz it was supposed to be his screen test before his real test soon. Hope he's doing fine.

Renewed my driving license today. Actually the expiry date is today, so the clerk gave me a letter saying I passed the 2-years probation period since I can only use the new license tomorrow. Ash-Syakeer had employed a new designer so I have to hand over all the design that I haven't started yet. Good for me actually because I was really busy lately-with KTIM's portal and other jobs so now I only have to complete 3 designs-bahulu, preserved flowers and cherry cake. Look out for Melaka Best product brand- proud to say I designed the packaging :) it was my first printing design so I learn a lot from the printing people (Mr Chang).

Went to another meeting at KTIM. It took an hour just to get there and the road wasn't in very good condition. Thank Allah I didn't have to drive today (we went there by Raja's car). Lenguh tau.. Tomorrow Mie invited all of us to go his car for his open house. He he.. makan free :)

Something happened today. I had a small accident on my way back from work. I was at a traffic light, when the color turned green the van infront of me moved too late so I tried to overtake it (it was a 2-lane road) unfotch I was too close with the van so my left bumper bumped at the back of his van. Too startled to do anything I braked immediately and when he raised his hand I did the same too, realizing it was really my fault. his van didn't has any scratch but my Max was scratched a lot and dented a little. I was very mad at myself- thank Allah mak didn't see it (yet) otherwise you can imagine what kind of lecture I would get. Now I have to use my saving for something I can avoid in the first place if only I was being a little patient. Lanun called that night, which was very relieving coz I really need to talk to someone about it. He was shocked but glad that I was alright. Told Kak Siti about it, and she took some of his friend to see my car. It's not too bad, they say, but it might cost me a few hundred bucks to fix it. Teruk betul. Bad day.

Dec 1,Monday
Start working today. Attended a meeting at Kolej Teknologi Islam Melaka (KTIM). This morning was a disaster - mak and my bro went to JB with abah last night so I have to prepare everything- the breakfast, the laundry, the home, etc. And I was running out of time. by the time I was ready, started my car and while waiting for the engine to warm up I took a cloth and wipe a stain on my car. That's when I saw something fishy with my exhaust pipe- it wasn't there anymore! Aiya...actually it was there, still attached to my car (duh..) but it has gotten inside and burning the bumper. No, the bumper wasn't on fire (yet) but there's a brown stain near where the exhaust were behind it. So I called my cousin and he tried to take it out or lowered it but it wouldn't buldge an inch so he said I have to take it to the workshop. It's still safe to drive Max though, so I just said my prayer and drove off to work. Upon arriving the office I called my sis and asked her to get Max fixed since I have to go to KTIM that morning. Later my sis told me that everybody was confused as how did that happened because the pipe was made from hard material. Actually during the 3rd Hari Raya I crashed into a big vase. I thought there's nothing serious happened coz the car run like usual. Well, little did I know. Sorry Max..
