Timatanga (In The Beginning)

I te timatanga
Ko te Kore
Ko te po nui
Ko te po roa
Wehenga Matua
Herenga Tangata
He toa Rangatahi
He toa Rangatira
Whakaki te Maunga
Tae ki te Whenua
Hoki ki te Rangi
Tae ki te Pukerunga
Piki ake piki ake
Ki te ara Poutama
Ki nga Taumatatanga e
Wairua Hinengaro Tinana
Pakeha

Translation:
In the beginning
There was nothing
The big darkness
The long darkness
The separation of Rangi and Papa
Formed people
Formation of young warriors
Formation of young chiefs
If you aim for the mountains
You will hit the plains
If you aim for the sky
You will hit the mountain peaks
Climb up, thrive
To the pathway of knowledge
To achieve excellence
Spiritually, mentally, physically

On a lighter note:

LMAOBBQSAUCE. No offence yeah. I love All Blacks' Haka, Kiwis, Maoris and everything about New Zealand. In fact, I'm planning to celebrate my 27th birthday over there. But those ginger breadmen are way too hilarious!

(RED) Expands

Bono + Bill Gates + Michael Dell = Awesomeness

DELL XPS ONE (PRODUCT) RED ALL-IN-ONE PC. Rae wants it.

EDIT:: A weird feeling is looming. It's not right but it's not wrong too. Something's going on this couple of days. It doesn't feel right.

Ain't a Movie But This is Real Life

Rae and champers are no good friends. Berserk she went with it last Saturday. Not a good one. That evil evil evil EVIL thing sent her to hell and back. She claimed not to touch it again but then today, she's wondering if she should tackle it like she did with beer. Hmm... should she bring it on?
Came down with fever and nose's full of awesome (Barney quote. XD) plus a pair of blocked ears, she tried to run the awesomeness off after work today but she's huffing and puffing like some old lady. It was also a futile attempt to get rid of those chubby-chub-chub she's packed for the past month (she suspended running a week before Christbo for 'merry-making' and she got too er..... 'merry'?). Gotta get it going again cos mommy dearest might think 'have I a pig for a daughter?' when she's home for CNY. Wahahaha.
Now while her shower's awesome as shower's @ some healthspa, the toilet is stupid. Real stupid. The flush goes stupid on her royal doodooness and leaves a churchill (or two) floating majestically even after 2 rounds. Heh.

imagery of the day. dbl o. drunk and merry. *big grin*

Addendum: How she's missed the band @ The Pump Room. She oughta go there soon. *Hint hint* Oh... and she found her passport last night. Super DoDo saved her ass. Phew.

Flotsam of the Week

Christbo's passed. New Year's passed. Time to do damage control cos double chin and chub's back big time. Forsee another overplay and overeat next month. It's Chinese New Year and she's homebound(yay!)! Ah shit, yet another damage control.
In between, she:
- was on the piss for 4 consecutive nights

- went berserk and spent one third of her pay on clothes
- felt blessed and started to give back by committing something, well, it isn't really significant but it'll definitely affect one's life
- discovered a friend's getting married (congrats!)
- found out a (quite close back then) classmate got married. Her wedding pics were gorgeous
- participated in a killing spree and got shot on her finger

- ate too much a lot of meat and they stayed in her for the next 4 days
- overplayed Alicia Keys
- is feeling her temper's slowly creeping up on her
- was on the verge of punching someone in the face (you know who you are and I shan't hesitate if it happens again)
- watched Da Vinci Code (the flick) FINALLY

Imagery of the day - the dugong clan???

addendum: Macbook Air's available for pre-order... why oh why?
tune of the week: No One (remix) by Alicia Keys

She Knows the Answer

What if Prince Charming had never showed up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out the apple, gotten a job, a health-care package, and a baby from her local neighbourhood sperm bank? I couldn't help but wonder: inside every confident, driven single woman, is there a deliver, fragile princess just waiting to be saved?

When Life's about Losing, Leaving & Letting Go

Horoscope of the day:
You may be backpedaling over the last few weeks' worth of personal changes right now. You are looking at which bits to keep, which pieces to throw away. What, who, and what places have you outgrown mentally, spiritually, emotionally or physically?
It hurts when you just shut out. It hurts to discover how easily one can be discarded. It hurts to find how frail it was. It hurts to know whatever shared didn't matter anymore. It just hurts. But that's just how it is when one crosses the line and another is selfish.

When Things Got Weird

Sometimes even the toughest ones would want to be hugged and told 'everything's gonna be alright'. :)

To Know Rae is To Read Her Blog

She swears she doesn't even disclose this much information or pour her feelings out real life. This blog is a cornucopia of crap and random stuff.
Anyway, it is almost mandatory customary to have a resolution or two at this time of the year. So here's hers:

- work harder and play even harder *evil grin*
- get that Lara Croft physique (half way there... she'll flex her arms for you any time of the day to show you the proof)
- be a better daughter, better sister and better FRIEND
- be a better leader and a better team player
- reduce bingeing and avoid handle issues with food
- be debt-free
- stop judging and discriminate
- visit new place
- experience and learn something new
- quit swearing like a sailor
- be less self-absorbed and less of a hypocrite
- be less harder on self and recognise (some) mistakes are okay
- restore faith and hope again
- be a member of Mensa

So there. 10+4 of them.
Amen.
