With You I'm Born Again

WOW! I'm totally blown away by this. It's soooooo beautiful. Haunting! I get the chills listening to this song. It is called 'With you I'm Born Again' by Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright. Tell me is this beautiful or is this beautiful. MMmm... Excuse me while I replay this song over and over and over again. :) Enjoy!




Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms
I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms
I'm born again
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know
With you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Why men who think women should not wear lipstick and high heels to avoid being raped should be CASTRATED!

Tell me, is this or is this not the height of depravity? While appreciating En Shafie's concern towards women's welfare, I totally do not get the logic of this. Will somebody please explain this madness?

KB council bans lipstick, high heels

KOTA BARU: Muslim women employees working here are forbidden to wear lipstick and high-heeled shoes to work.

This directive is contained in a municipal council circular dated May 25 and signed by its president Shafie Ismail, which has been distributed to business premises here.

A check, however, found that only a few tenants had received the circular this week.

The circular stated that the directive, targeted at Muslim women employees working in food outlets and other business premises, was issued to prevent incidents like rape and illicit sex as well as to safeguard the morals and dignity of Muslim women in Kelantan.

It stated that Muslim women were forbidden to wear thick make-up, bright coloured lipstick and high-heeled shoes which made a tapping sound.

Those who insisted on wearing high-heeled shoes should choose those with rubber soles.

Attempts to contact Shafie for clarification were futile.

The directive on the wearing of lipstick and high-heeled shoes are in addition to the wearing of scarves, which should cover the chest and not be of transparent material, blouses with long sleeves, which were long and loose, as well as socks.

Those who do not adhere to the regulation can be fined up to RM500. – Bernama

Lazy Bums Love Fridays!

Yes, I'm so glad its finally Friday! But its taking a tad too long for them clocks to say ''6.30pm!". I'm bored and I don't have any mood to work. So here I am, talking trash and leaving all you fellow lazy bums with this sad fact of life:

Ceux-qui rient le vendredi, pleureront le dimanche

Which just simply means:
Those who laugh on Friday will cry on Sunday.

Ugh... Must have been written by some work-loving sadist! How true though. Sad but true. I cry every Sunday without fail. Hahahahahaha...!! But then again, doesn't it just give us something to look forward in life? Each day I live looking forward to the weekends. :P Makes my weekends more berharga!

Okay folks, 2 hours more and its time to get the hell out of here! Have a good weekend!

Malaysia. We've got talent!

Discovered something today. This Malaysian girl who calls herself KokoKaina. Posted some clips of her playing her guitar and singing on YouTube and got signed by a record company in the US. She is GOOD! Sounds like Norah Jones + Corrine Bailey Rae. Real good.

And I really like her. And I like her even more for the fact that she doesn't feel the need to plaster her pretty 'lil face to sell her music. All that is shown is her hands, guitar and chin. That's real classy. People with real talent will always reach great heights on their talent alone. No need to become a wannabe pop princess. Well, at least you know your listeners are quality listeners, eh Koko? Anyway, if you EVER do happen to read this, KokoKaina, I think you're GREAT! Stay humble. And we look forward to seeing you succeed. :) Make us proud!



Now this, reaaaally got me in a crazy 'Moon River' mood. So beautiful. I always loved Moon River. One of the most beautiful songs EVER!
