| Amy Winehouse - the Soulful Singer |

I dedicate this post to a world renowned singer, Amy Winehouse.

Don't get me wrong, I ain't a big fan of hers. We can't denied the fact that Amy had a remarkable achievement in music industry. Don't believe me? Let her FIVE Grammy trophies speak for themselves. 

In the Memorial of Amy Winehouse

1987 - 2011

May you find peace under the arms of Heavenly Father.

Even though you have left us, your music will be forever remembered. 

Just in case if you don't get what is happening, the 'Rehab' singer was found dead at her apartment 3:54pm (London time), 23rd July 2011. 

Quotes from Lady Gaga on an interview of Amy Winehouse's death:
"It's a lesson to the world.  Don't kill the superstar, take care of her soul."
"Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her.  She lived jazz, she lived the blues." 

The causes of the death of this troubled singer: 

(note: there are many versions of the cause of her death, what I have written might not be accurate)

1. Drug overdose, the 'Back to Black' singer was having problem overcoming her drug addiction. Due to this, I believe people might point their finger on drug when it comes to the cause of her death.

2. Alcohol. Besides drug, alcohol is another best friend of Amy. 

3. The curse of 27? Some said she fell into the curse of 27 where there are a few celebrities who died at the age of 27, Jim Morrison, Jonathan Brandis, Robert Johnson and Janis Joplin to name a few.

Regardless of what, the cause of her death is still ---- UNKNOWN. Let's wait for the autopsy result to come out only we decide the cause. 

Here are some pictures of hers, as a remembrance of the late Amy Winehouse.

This shot was taken eleven days before her death. She looks perfectly healthy and fine. (adapted from eonline!)

Amy Winehouse wax figure.

Rest in Peace, Amy Winehouse.

: Joke of the Day :

Hey peeps! While I was scanning through facebook today, I came across a joke that makes me laugh my 'S' off. I thought to myself, why not share it all out to y'all. Sharing is caring after all right?

Here it goes!

WAIT! Did I mention that it's a Lady Gaga joke? If I didn't, well it Lady Gaga joke (there you go!).

Well, here it goes again for the second time!

Q: How on earth you gonna wake Lady Gaga up from her beauty sleep?

Let's give some thoughts of it before revealing the answer.

Definitely not burn her with the spark-thrower bra!

A: Poke.. Poke.. Poke.. Her Face! hahahahahahaha..

I've come out with another Lady Gaga joke too. Sit tight and enjoy!

Q: What does Lady Gaga think of her dad?

A: Papa's Lazy! 

 

Let's hope that her dad doesn't look anything like this. 

These are just jokes, please don't take it too seriously especially Gaga's monsters. 

p/s: Lady Gaga, please don't sue me for this. I don't have enough money to fight in court. Anyhow, I do hope you enjoy the jokes. (as if she's gonna read this right?)

Take care people, and good morning/afternoon/evening/night! 

Signing off!

: Temporary Home :

I dedicate this song to people out there who is having any sorts of difficulties.

just remember, what you're having now is just a temporary home and you're heading to where you're belonged. stay strong and keep your head up no matter what comes in your way.

enjoy..

Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone.
Another new mom and dad,another school,
Another house that'll never be home.
When people ask him how he likes this place...
He looks up and says, with a smile upon his face,

"This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong.
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through.
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going.
I'm not afraid because I know this is my
Temporary Home."

Young mom on her own.
She needs a little help, got nowhere to go.
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out,
Because a half-way house will never be a home.
At night she whispers to her baby girl,
"Someday we'll find our place here in this world."

"This is our temporary home.
It's not where we belong.
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through.
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going.
I'm not afraid because I know this is our
Temporary Home."

Old man, hospital bed,
The room is filled with people he loves.
And he whispers don't cry for me,
I'll see you all someday.
He looks up and says, "I can see God's face."

"This is my temporary Home
It's not where I belong.
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through.
This was just a stop,on the way to where I'm going.
I'm not afraid because I know... this was
My temporary home."

This is our temporary home.

| Fairy Tales of Ants and Grasshopper |

this is gonna be my first post and i have no idea what to share with everyone, so i decided to share a story that i received from a friend of mine via email. it's about the hardworking ants and lazy bum grasshoppers. i bet you have heard or read this story somewhere before but in this version, there's a twist in the story. 

so sit tight, relax and enjoy....

ONCE UPON A TIME......

___________________________________________________________

Classical version

An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter.

A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.

Came winter, the ant was warm, comfortable and had no shortage of food.

The grasshopper had no proper shelter, no stored food, and couldn't find anything to eat from the snow-covered ground. So it died and the story ended.

Modern Version

An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter.

A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.   
  
Came winter, the shivering grasshopper called a press conference and demanded to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while he was cold and starving.

TV1, TV2 & TV3 showed up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper alongside to a video clip of the ant in his comfortable home with a table full of food.

The majority of the Malaysian Parliamentarians were stunned by the  sharp contrast. How could this poor grasshopper be allowed to suffer?

Khairy staged a demonstration in front of the ant's nest.

Nazri went on a hunger strike along with other grasshoppers demanding that they be relocated to warmer climate area during winter.

The Malaysian Government immediately passed a law forbidding all ants from working hard in the summer so as to bring about equality of poverty between ants and grasshoppers.

Hishammudin increased 'More Special Reservations' for grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & in Government Services..

The ant was fined for failing to share 30% of his food with the grasshopper. The Prime Minister announced that this was part of the NEP.  No ant should question it. (Don't forget, Tax Audits were introduced and targeted at certain individuals who were eventually penalised heavily for not contibuting enough to the well-being of the grasshoppers).

Many years later...

Some ant migrated to the US and set up multi-billion dollar companies there.

Hundreds of grasshoppers still died of starvation despite the 'More Special Reservations'.

Losing significant number of hard working ants and free loading the grasshoppers, Malaysia remained a developing country, despite its abundant natural resources.
All because the remaining ANTS were still doing their work ........................ 

Latest finding showed that almost all the grasshoppers in the political arena and civil service were hoarding corrupt wealth which they refused to share with fellow grasshoppers.
