if you leave me now

all of a sudden, this song keeps playing in my head.. so it's been looping in my ear today.. since morning.. till now.. its almost 4.40 pm..

If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Oooh no, baby please don't go

And If you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Oooh no, baby please don't go
Oooh girl, I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away

We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way

When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away

We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way

When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today

If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Oooh no, baby please don't go

Oooh girl, just got to have you by my side
Oooh no, baby please don't go
Oooh mama, just got to have your lovin

~Chicago~

sample it here.

if you think it sounds familiar, you might have heard it from the tv series sex and the city or the movie a lot like love.. or you're just that old..! :D

My Precious Girlfriends

Today I’m going to talk about my best friends. Yes, a have a few of them, although the term “best” always indicates the one that is above the rest. However, I just can’t pick any one of them just because each one of them is special to me and each one of them is different in their own way.

Alang
Alang is my sister. I can say that she’s the only one in the family that gets me. We seldom meet. But when we do, be prepared because you’re in for a wild ride.. (wild ride ke?) We had our differences, but I believe that makes us who we are and makes us become closer. I can just tell her everything and anything, I mean, ANYTHING! No censorship board or filter, I can be open with her. And we used to watch the TV together on the phone, since she’s in Melaka and I was in Shah Alam back then.

Loly
This fabulous girl I met in UTP. We didn’t hit it right away. She had her circle of friends, I had mine. But I couldn’t really pinpoint what event took place that she and I became friends – closer than just acquaintances. But I can say, she’s a colourful and interesting person, with a very friendly nature. In my opinion, who ever meets her will LOVE her, unless that person is jealous with her.

Mate
Or should I say Arwin? :) Also met in UTP. I met her a bit later than Loly, but a very good friend nevertheless. She has a very different story than mine, one which I won’t tell – but her experience makes me learn as well. Apart from that, she’s an outgoing person, whom very much into .. erm… what she likes (..duh!). Currently, she’s my partner in crime when it comes to salsa.. haha.. and I love her because she’s the type of person who gives a *&#$. In other word, she cares!

Rasz
Another girl I met in UTP.

Yes, I’m pretty much still very connected to my UTP friends rather than my highschool friends. Maybe because we didn’t have mobile phones back then, it’s kind of hard to keep track of them. After a while, even if you have their numbers, they are quite distant from what they used to be. And its hard to be like the old days..

Well, anyway, back to Rasz. She is a very sweet girl I met in UTP. You can never be mad at her for long (I don’t think I have). She can be very helpful and she cares about her friends around her. Well, maybe for a while she became a bit distant, but let’s not go into that. I love this girl also even now we hardly see each other. Yelah, because she’s so busy and all.. ;)

So those are my best friends. Everyone of them has their own lives to live now. Everyone’s working now. Alang busy with her kids (hehe) in Melaka, and about to leave me *sob*. She’s going to the US. Loly’s married to Ifwan – now with a cute boy, Haris. Rasz, hmm.. busy working I guess.. Mate, I always meet her. So we pretty much see a lot of each other.

But I love these people for they know that all of us has grown to different people and just accept us as who we are. And I really treasure these relationships because we accept our differences and we do not have expectations of each other, we just try to be there when we need each other, whenever we can.

Thank you for always being there.

Dos and Don'ts..

..when it comes to pursuing a girl:

Dos
- respect a girl's privacy, even she's at a public place..

- ask the girl when is the best time to call or meet..

- understand if the girl avoid your calls or don't reply your sms that she's simply not interested to pursue the relationship (ouch!).. if she's really interested, she will ask you back whenever she missed your call or sms..

Don'ts
- try to strike a conversation when you see her doing some personal shopping (read:toiletteries shopping, underwear shopping, etc.).. she appreciates that she's left alone during those times..

- expect a girl to swoon at your feet just because you just told her "i admire you" or "i like your personality" or anything to that effect.. and how come you can like a person's personality when you just met that person for five minutes?

- call or address the girl as 'baby', 'darling' or anything like that. especially when she doesn't even know your last name yet! you are slowly pushing her away..

-come or visit the girl unannounced and expect her to entertain you. you'll never know if it's her bad hair day or what. besides, a real lady wouldn't entertain impromptu plans. she will always have her days planned wayyy ahead.


i'll add more whenever i think of anything..
