wow...it's x'mas party there too...?

had one of my other worldly dreams again last night. seemed like there was a big big fancy christmas-like party going on..except most of the people i saw there were once with us but have since moved on, if you know what i mean..the scene was very much like the ending part of the titanic movie..people cheering, smiling..welcoming me to their party and yes, i did feel like jack dawson (or was it rose who was being welcomed [in the movie at the end, i meant]..hmm, nvm) for that tiny moment..

of course, dad was there, and i saw grandpa and grandma dancing a slow waltz..and everyone was just watching, cheering and clapping them on..i pulled up a chair and just sat there for a long time watching them dance and felt so so full of love for them..dad appeared like he was mulling over something, then walking around as though searching for someone and was kinda quiet..i guess he was just being his usual self. the rest of the people i could not really focus my eyes on except somehow knowing that they were not of the physical type. for a very fleeting moment, i thought i also saw someone who wasn't supposed to be there and i suppose because of that, i just very quickly erased it from my mind and when i woke up this morning, i could not remember who that person was...oh dear....this is really disturbing.....maybe i need to revisit this party to see who this person is clearly..

i think i am getting quite used to these other worldly visitations that i get now and then. i am no longer frightened of these visits. in fact, i kinda look forward to them, sometimes just for entertainment, at other times because i miss grandpa and grandma and i just want to feel close to them. perhaps, one night, i shall have a close enough encounter with someone outside of my family circles and bring back some incontrovertible evidence..and then maybe i'd know for sure that i have not just been dreaming dreams...

for now..it's an earthly x'mas season as usual for me..

aiyoh...another one..??

err..i was referring to my latest love..hehe

the LG KP500 a.k.a the cookie phone...well, i decided to hold off on the toyota mark x until the pricing for that one becomes more reasonable..and i gotta buy me a x'mas present anyway...and i just happened to be walking by a phone shop the other day and this thing caught my eye..and i just could not resist it...

i think, in a way, it looks much nicer than the iphone although i must admit the functions are somewhat limited by the installed programs and i haven't come across any downloadable softwares to use..BUT for the things that it does, it's quite sufficient. i get decent pictures with the camera, decent music and video playing, and the phone menu is quite straight forward actually..and the best thing is the price. i got it for rm 899-00..i think it's the best value for money phone out there..you'd be doing yourself a nice favour by getting one. the picture here should tempt you sufficiently to rush out there and grab one for yourself this xmas..!!

it's the season...

for giving..
please visit here and if you wish to do your bit..you know what to do lor...and quietly please hor..no need to make big hoo-haa over your contributions whether big or tiny..thank you

oh..and merry x'mas..

the day the earth stood still..

In the original movie, a flying saucer orbits Earth, and lands in Washington, DC, on the Mall. Klaatu (Michael Rennie) steps out and is shot by a jumpy soldier. Gort (Lock Martin), an indestructible robot, steps out of the spacecraft and proceeds to melt all the weapons, including tanks. Later, the Earth comes to realize that Gort has used very little of his power to make this happen.

While lying on the ground, Klaatu orders Gort to stop and is then taken by the military to a hospital, from which he later escapes in order to learn more about this planet called Earth and its human inhabitants. He meets Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) and her son Bobby (Billy Gray); takes Klaatu on a tour of Washington, DC; and finally stops in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Klaatu reads the words uttered by Lincoln many years ago and realizes that there might be hope for Earth.

When they begin to suspect the alien man, he reveals himself, along with the news that Gort is a member of a race of super-robot enforcers invented to keep the peace of the galaxy and will destroy the Earth if provoked. Klaatu is pursued and shot and killed by the military. Before Klaatu dies, he tells Helen to go to Gort, and say the words "Klaatu barada nikto." If she does not, Klaatu tells her Gort will destroy the Earth. Helen makes her way to the ship and finds Gort. As the robot moves towards her, she repeats the phrase over and over. The robot picks her up and takes her into the ship. It then retrieves Klaatu's body and, through their alien science, resurrects Klaatu.

The 2008 remake about an alien and his indestructible robot will star Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, Jennifer Connelly as Helen Benson, Jaden Smith as Jacob, and Kathy Bates. Gort has not been cast at this time and will most likely be created using SFX.

went to see this movie with a friend yesterday. thought it was going to be really good but turned out really bad. but i guess it was fun watching a B-grade movie once in a while...hmm, next time, must not get conned by movie trailers..haha

not one but two !!!

two of my aunts have just been diagnosed with breast Ca. and both at around the same time !!

i am still at a loss for words and feeling very detached by the news. it's like i am hoping it is not happening, that the doctors had somehow gotten their diagnoses wrong, and that it's just some big pimple and not what it is thought to be... mom's freaking out that her sibling and cousin are battling this and has not come to terms with what's happening..

yes..that's right ! what is happening?? i just don't know what to do or say...how do i comfort someone facing the big C..? how do i say that everything is gonna be alright and not know whether it's really gonna be or not..how do i feel their fears, their pain and all the psychological and physical trauma, when i'm not the one suffering..? how do i extend my love beyond just mere words or touch..? one of them is going for a mastectomy and is freaking-scared about the procedure while the other has started on her chemotherapy, with dreadful cycles to complete and still have to face an uncertain future..

..so tell me how..

some updates...both my aunts are coping well. the one that had the mastectomy is recovering nicely from the op. and now keeping fingers crossed that the tissue removed and sent for testing will not be bad. the other one is also handling the chemotherapy with confidence and keeping her spirits up...i pray both will be cleared of this ailment completely..
