Will you be there?

Terry Fox Run is happening in our very own backyard in KL this coming Sunday morning on the 4th November 2007. The venue will be Lake Gardens. Time 830 am.

Do you know who Terry Fox is and what the run is for? Terry Fox was a cancer patient. He was diagnosed with bone cancer at the tender age of 18. His right leg had to be amputated 15cm above the knee.

Moved by the suffering of fellow cancer patients, especially young children, he resolved to run across Canada to raise funds for cancer research. He trained for 18 months and ran with his prosthetic leg for 5,000km.

Fox started in Newfoundland on April 12, 1980, and ran about 42km (the length of a marathon) every day. He asked the Canadian Cancer Society to support his run. “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.”

I don’t feel that this is unfair. That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one, it happens all the time to people. I’m not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. It’ll inspire more people. I just wish people would realise that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.” – Terry Fox (1958-1981)

My grandfather passed away from colon cancer. But it's not solely because of him that I will be there. I will be there because I want to. I know I don't have the stamina to run the whole 6.5 km but I resolve walk till I reach the finish line. I know I can. Terry did more than that. What's 6.5 km?

No registration required. Just be at Lake Gardens at 830 am on the 4th November 2007.



I want to make a difference. Do you?

Nip Tuck

I never really followed this series until recently. I don't even know what season it is in now but in today's episode, Dr. Christian Troy is just so mean.

I mean, yeah, he's good looking and all. I used to think that since he appeared in Charmed as Cole. Haha.. funny how he's always the slightly evil character. Maybe it's his look. Bad guys always look more dashing.

Dr. Troy was lefted at the altar by the woman he loved in the previous episode. And he's heartbroken. I think he's finally loved someone and to be left by someone you truly love.... sigh. Well, but the way he tries to get over it, by humiliating others and stripping others off their self-esteem. That's just so mean.

The way he asked a girl to put a brown paper bag over her head so that he can't see her face when he makes love to her. I pity the girl. But she seems fine over it. haha..I'm not into sadomachoism. Maybe that's why I think he's mean.

But what truly disturbs me is the scene where they show Kimber being locked up, face mutilated and forced to write Christian a letter saying she chose career over him. It disturbs me to see a person who loves so much being tortured. I really wish I can jump into that fictional world and save her.

A pity I can't. But who knows, sad things like that may really be happening somewhere in our world.

What would you do if...

Your boyfriend (or girlfriend) cheats on you? What if they have someone else out there besides you? What would you do if you do eventually find out?

Someone I know actually cheats back. Hmmm. Her rationale? Well, since he can do it, why can't I? It's only fair.

And when I asked her why not just leave him, she said she knows that eventually they will end up together. huh? What kind of thinking is that?

If a guy (or girl) can cheat on you once, they can do it again. In whichever stage of the relationship. Do you really want to share your other half with someone else? Knowingly doing so?

I don't think I can. If Dear ever has another 'relationship' outside of ours that ain't anything platonic, I would call it quits. Because I know I won't cheat on him and if he does, then he doesn't deserve my love for him anymore. Why share? This is one thing I think no one should share. And there's no point in taking 'revenge' by going out with someone else. Who feels the hurt? Is that what you really want? Moreover, on moral grounds, I don't think that's a very right thing to do too. But then again, everyone has differing opinions on what's moral and not. So, I should just shaddup and go to bed.. haha.

Well, this is purely my opinion, but if someone cheats on you, leave the relationship. It is not going to be worth it unless both are committed to each other.

Yes, I do flirt. I enjoy doing that. It is my confidence booster, sometimes :P Dear knows about this. He knows I flirt. But he also knows that's about all I will do.

Tell me, what would you do?

Tags, tags.. I love tags

Ooohh, I've been crafting last night. Made some tags. Not sure what kind of ribbons I wanna use yet and how I want to tie them up but I love them!

They are so pretty!

Oh, but of course I would say that they are pretty :P I'm biased. I made them. haha.. Will post up pictures later in the day and you can tell me if you think they are pretty or not. After I post them here, they will be found on my Etsy shop.

Custom orders will be welcomed. We can discuss color, size, quantity and cost. Malaysian customers who are interested, just leave me a comment. Don't be shy. I can calculate the costing for you before confirming order.

No problemo!
