Same Side Of The Moon - Corrinne May

I'm looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray

I see the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space
can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon.

I picture you across the oceans
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change

It's still the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space
can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon...

My Books!

Ok here goes....

These are the books that I've read recently..

And i'm currently reading these two....haha of course i'm taking forever with the Melayu book....somehow I have to really concentrate when i'm reading that...but it is a challenge..and I will finish it...just like that other book...which you SHOULD start on Nene. :p

And these are the books that I just got and have yet to read...hehe somehow I tend to save the Kinsella books...cause those are the best! :D


Oh and this one....haha chick lit in Dutch...It might take me a couple of years I think :p

PS: Arnee what are you reading these days?

PPS: Mel thanks for recommending 'Can you keep a secret'. Heheh...now all 3 of us have read it! OMG...that part about the girl meeting the old guy....at the day care centre...and lunch for 2pounds!..heheh damnnn that was really hilarious!

Books

I've been so lazy to blog! Haven't really done much. Well actually I've been doing a lot of stuff but nothing really interestsing or blog material. Mostly worked a lot, went to some courses, started going for aerobics classes. Ohh the aerobics is really fun. Girls, you'd love the latin and funk classes. I get so inspired and prance around and pretend I'm a pussycat doll (I don't need a man to make it happen!) :)

So anyways Arlin I finally started reading Sophie Kinsella's 'Can you keep a secret' this morning and you're right it's hilarious. I laughed out loud a couple of times already. God she's so damn embarrassing. But I'm scared of reading it too fast and finishing the whole thing so I'm trying to pace myself and savour the book so it lasts a while.

The other books in line after Sophie Kinsella. Sorry girl, I'm gonna put off reading 'Merpati Putih Terbang Lagi' for a little while longer...

What's everyone reading these days?

Budapest

We were also in Budapest last week for a few days and it was cold and snowy. I walked around by myself quite a bit and took some pics.

I ended up at the Fashion Street of course...where I got myself two pairs of shoes and a top from Zara...yeah they have Zara too! :D

Then I had lunch by myself at this place called Cyrano...cause the concierge guy recommended it...bah...penipu.

I think this is Váci or something like that....macam their Orchard Road.

Then I saw this souvenir store and went in and got some rubbish touristy crap.

And I also got some postcards here.

Statue of some girl...

Apparently its a little king girl..hm.

The riverbank of the Danube on the Pest side looking towards the Buda side.

About Budapest.

The Hungarian tram?

Chain Bridge.

St. Stephen's Basilica

Me.

The hotel corridor. Nice carpet eh?

We also got some Hungarian paprika..and the thing on the tube says 'red gold'. Haven't tried it yet though.

And obviously we had to go the supermarket too...cause everyone knows by now what a sucker I am for supermarkets :p...and I got some rubbish...this bear cake-like thing...and also this chocolate wafer...which is named after the Lake Balaton.

The cake was actually quite nyum-nyum...there was chocolate in the centre. :) Damn...should've got more of those things.

A random building.

This is apparently a famous Hungarian scientist.

One of my favourite Hungarian words...Cipő!!!!! :D

Oklah...i'm lazy to upload more pics...oh yeah I also tried some Hungarian food....like goulash and some chicken paprikash but we didn't take pics unfortunately.

Igen... nem... Szeretlek..szeretünk..kisbaba...nevem palacsinta... csók sok sok...ölelet...bolondocskám..famoushhh....szia drága! :D

Selamat Makan?


Hehe it was really weird that they kept saying that the whole time in Bali...like each time we had dinner or drinks the staff would say Selamat Makan/Selamat Minum...it sounded pretty strange especially cause we never say that...i'm more used to jemput or sila makan/minum....hehe anyway....we had some nice Indo food there...so I have to blog about it as usual.

We really liked the satay...it was very good...and the little grill that came with it was so cute!

I had rice and urab and sambal etc with the satay.

I think this was a chocolate souffle with ice cream and a pot of chocolate sauce.

Some kinda chocolate tart?

We had more satay here...some kinda tuna salad and chicken curry and fried eggplant with sambal! Hehe..Mel I like eggplant now thanks to you :) Oh and we also had cabe rawit of course..with just about everything!

Afternoon tea outside the library...these ladies would serve local kuihs and tea.

We had macam ondeh-ondeh and ginger tea.

And on another afternoon I had something that resembled a goreng pisang...except they wrapped the banana with some sorta pastry instead of coating it in batter...it was still good though.

Enjoying afternoon tea.

This sweet little girl came up to me when I was having tea and presented me with some flowers...macam local potpourri-like thing she made...come to think of it..it was kinda like bunga rampai.

Oh there was also a palm sugar demonstration by an ibu from the village...she was kinda paiseh when I took this pic of her....and the old guy reminded me of Yayi...:)
