For the name of LOVE?




Sham: Sayang... I'm getting married...

Sofi: *Sigh* *Tersenyum...* Orang dah jangka dah, masa cam gini pasti akan tiba. Tapi orang tak sangka la pulak masa tu akan tiba sepantas ini.

Sham: Sayang, ini bukan kehendak orang. Dia tahu, kan? Dia paham, kan? Ibu orang dah mendesak... katanya orang dah sampai masa utk berumahtangga dan take life seriously

Sofi: *Sigh... again* Orang paham...

Sham: Sayang, jgn la macam ni. Dia tahu kan, hanya dia saja dalam hati orang. Tapi ibu tetap dengan keputusannya nak orang kawin segera dengan Sarah. Orang dah buntu, tak tahu apa nak buat, melainkan menerima saja takdirNYA. Tapi dia kena ingat yang orang bukan nak sakitkan hati dia or anything. Orang dah tak der pilihan. Orang taknak kecewakan harapan ibu, but at the same time orang tak tergamak nak lukakan hati dia... tapi...

Sofi: Like I said, I understand... Sekiranya ini yang terbaik utk dia, orang akan tetap bahagia... Besides, memang dia kena lalui jugak semua nih - dia kan straight. Orang paham...

I'm sure at this point, you readers would have managed to guess it right, that, this conversation, is between a straight guy who has been seeing and getting into a relationship with a not-so-straight girl i.e. a drag queen...

Sham: Sayang, don't make this harder on me...

Sofi: No, I'm not... I'm telling you, it's ok. Mungkin jodoh kita sampai disini. Tapi dia kena ingat... biarpun kita sampai disini saja, orang akan tetap sayangkan dia. Orang doakan yang dia akan bahagia disamping Sara, yang bagi ibu dia, lebih layak duduk disamping dia...

Sham: *Terdiam*

Sofi: 2 tahun lepas bile kite declared, kite dah jangka bende ni akan berlaku. Kite tahu, selama mana kita mungkin dan mampu bertahan, dia tetap straight dan tetap kena teruskan hidup as a straight man, kan? Lain la kalau dia bukan straight; dia gay ke or ape ke, itu lain citer. Ini, dia sendiri mengaku yang dia still have feelings towards girls, so I guess, orang tak leh la nak sekat dia from leading your normal straight life, betul tak?

Sham: *Mengangguk² saja...*

Sofi: Yang, listen to me. Orang redha dengan keadaan, dan orang terima segalanya. Orang anggap semua ni sebagai dugaan hidup orang. Dan dengan rela hati, demi cinta orang terhadap dia, orang sanggup lepaskan dia...

Sham: Tapi orang taknak lepaskan dia... orang sayangkan dia!

Sofi: Abis tu, macam mana? You can't be selfish you know - you can't have both, me and Sara. It wouldn't be fair for Sara, it wouldn't be fair for me as well - you know that as much as I do Yang...

Sham: Walaupun orang kawin dengan Sara, orang tetap nak dia...

At this point, somehow or rather, honestly, Sara was the least that Sofi could ever think of. It's Sham who's in her heart and wandering mind...

Sofi: Berilah orang tempoh, sedikit masa, utk orang pikirkan hal nih...

Sham: You have the world to think about this; so long as at the end of that time, dia tak decide to end all this...

And masa berlalu, Sham went through the marriage with Sara, and still, seeing Sofi. Although not as often as before, although not as close as before, Sofi and Sham still boleh diconsiderkan as couples. It breaks Sofi's heart seeing Sara and Sham, right in front of her very own eyes. Tapi kenyataannya, Sofi terpaksa terima yang dia jauh berbeza dengan Sara. Sara tulen, and she's not... and it's only fair that Sofi benarkan Sara dalam hidup Sham sebab it's only natural; Sofi and Sham - that's against the natural law...

For Sofi, setelah nearly berbulan berlalu that Sham and Sara diijabkabulkan, dia merasakan, it's time for her to move on as well. She loved Sham, more than anything. She cared for Sham, just as much that she cared for him even before Sham got married. Tapi its all so, different now. When she said that she'll continue to see Sham, love Sham and all for him, after he got married, she was like, lonely, sad, depressed and all upset. Bluntly put, she had no choice. She was in too deep for Sham; and for the sake of the love for Sham, she lalui jugak the relationship with him; only after the marriage, it is no longer a relationship, more or less like a scandal dengan 'laki orang' now... and after feeling that she is day by day getting further, far away from him, she decides that it's about time that she moves on.

Exactly a year after Sham's marriage to Sara - Sofi found someone. Just as nice as Sham, just as responsible as Sham, just as handsome and tall and all, like Sham... but Sofi masih teragak² to accept Shah; sebab worrying what Sham might think of the idea. So dia pendamkan hasrat, giving excuses and all to Shah, yang constantly everyday cuba menyunting Sofi for his own... until one day...

Sham: Sayang, Sara's pregnant... I'm going to be a father soon!

That was the turning point where Sofi rasa, that's it. It's the end. Enough with her tempering with Sara's husband. Sofi tak sanggup nak go on, messing around with the soon-to-be-born baby, anak kepada Sham. Enough with having scandal dengan 'laki orang' - and now, or should I say, soon, having scandal dengan "bapak budak" pulak? That very instant, utk menutupi luka dihatinya, sebelum it gets any worse, Sofi, finally accepted Shah. True, it may look as though Sofi is using Shah, but the truth was, Shah knew everything, like I told you readers now - from A to Z. Everything! Every single detail and all, Shah knew all about it. And that's why Shah sanggup tunggu, wait and wait, sampai to the extend where Sofi couldn't bare the fact that she bukan sekadar ade hubungan sulit dengan 'laki orang', malah, ade hubungan dengan 'bapak budak'... and penantian Shah berhasil when Sofi found out from Sham that Sara's pregnant...

And soon, tak lama selepas Sofi bercinta dengan Shah, Sham got to know about it, all he went all upset, pissed off, and all..

Sofi: Why are you mad?! Why are you pissed off?

Sham: Takder lah. Orang tak der nak marah² or anything. Orang just terkejut... Tak sangka dia sanggup buat orang macam ni...

Sofi: Buat ape?! What have I done? Owh, maksud dia, sampainya hati orang bercinta dengan Shah, and not you anymore?

Sham: *Terdiam*

Sofi: Sham... cukup la selama nih kita bercinta. Orang cuba nak stop all this earlier, tapi, bukan sekadar dia, orang sendiri tak mampu. That's why orang continued seeing dia. Dan at that time, orang belum temui any other guy yang mampu take up your role in my life.

Sham: I know...

Sofi: Sham, kerana orang sayangkan dia lah, orang terpaksa buat macam nih now sebelum it gets worse. Dia bukan sekadar suami orang, malah, soon, dia akan jadi AYAH. Orang tak sanggup...

Sham: *Terdiam lagi*

Sofi: Dulu you once said, "Don't make this harder on me..." Now, am asking the same for you. Don't make all this harder on me. If I continue seeing you, I'm not only breaking the hearts of your wife, and your children; most importantly, I'm breaking my own heart...

Sham: *Terdiam, masih...*

Sofi: Yang, cakap lah! Jgn membisu cam ni... why can't you be happy for me? Orang nak dia dgr betul² apa orang cakap ni. When you married Sara, I was completely heart-broken. Namun, sebab terlalu sayangkan dia, orang lalui jugak, dan orang terima. Sebab I want the best for you. Dia jangan ingat for even 1 minute, yang selepas dia kawin dengan Sara, orang stopped loving you, stopped caring for you - no. Not even for 1 second pernah terlintas utk orang abaikan dia. I may have found the right person to ease your burden, but that doesn't mean I cannot love u and care for u anymore? Sama macam dia jugak - you married Sara. But you still loved me, you still cared for me, owh for crying out loud, you still slept with me! It's the same thing now, cuma berubah dialog and now the ball is in my side now... Please, be happy for me, as I once happy for you when you had Sara sitting next to you in your life. Orang tak nak gaduh, orang tan nak kita bermasam muka. Orang still nak kawan dengan dia, care for you, love you, but... tah la. I'm only seeing that you're being selfish. You have Sara in your life, wouldn't it be fair now if I have that same privilege? Don't make all these seems fair to you and not for me - Life is all about being fair. You win some, you lose some. You give some, you take some...

Sham: *Still... diam*

Sofi: If you want it to end, this way, then orang redha jer dengan kemahuan dan kehendak dia. Tapi dia kena ingat, apa yang dia trasa hati sebab dia dapat tahu orang found somebody else tu, itu baru 1/4 dari apa yang orang had to go through when dia decided to proceed, berkahwin dengan Sara. Orang terima keadaan tu, and hoped for the best. And so why can't dia be like orang back then? All I wanted was for you to be happy - but I guess, all you want is to have both, Sara and me, and you just don't want me to be happy now, do you? Not that am saying that am not happy waktu orang dgn dia. Tapi dia kena paham, orang do this for the best. Orang hanya pikirkan dia, dan the consequences dimasa depan, should it gets deeper, memang akan parah. It might not be parah for you - but it will definitely be for me...

Sham: Orang relakan dia pergi... terima kasih for all the memories and all...

Sofi: THAT'S IT? As simple as that jer dia punya reply? I'm not asking you to be all berbunga² dalam berkata², but, that's it? The way you put it, it's like, then end?

Sham: *Terdiam...*

Sofi: So I guess it's true then, you want this to end this way... just to let you know, you've disappointed me... your attitude... really... I wish I saw this coming... I was thinking like, eventhough I'm gonna be with Shah, I was like hoping we could still be friends. But I guess... not...

Am not seeking the answer for questions like - salah siapakah dalam hal ini? Nope - am not. All I'm curious about knowing, dua soalan ni jer...

1. Letting Sham, si "Suami Orang" dan bakal "AYAH" go, out of her life, and having Shah who is equally good like Sham, only difference that he's gay and into drag queens and no longer has interests in girls, into her life, was Sofi's best decision - ever?

2. Was Sham being fair to Sofi? Some might say Sham has the every right to be all upset and all regarding this Sofi pushing him out of her life and having Shah as a replacement - why? Care to tell?

3. (Make that 3 questions...) Salah Sofi ke in the first place to indulge herself dalam perhubungan dengan Suami Orang?

"... Bila kita mencintai yang lain, mungkinkah hati ini akan tegar,
sebisa mungkin tak akan pernah sayangku akan hilang
Our love will stay in my heart... My heart..."



Just another quick q: Dari lirik diatas tu, bukankah ia bermaksud, "Even if aku bercinta dengan orang lain, perit it may seems, tapi, cintaku terhadapmu takkan hilang..." kan? Hurmm...

DISCLAIMER: If you have nothing good to say about this "Based on true-encounter" love entry, then I suggest you don't hit the "COMMENT" button. Save your condempts and hates and dislikings to this entry, the people/ characters in it, away from here ya... remember, I have the advantage - the button "DELETE COMMENT" is just a-mouse-click away... owh and another thing, remember "LOVE ME OR HATE ME, BUT SPARE ME YOUR INDIFFERENCES, ELSEWHERE" - PS: This entry has nothing to do with me nah? True story pun, tapi, bukan ade kena mengena dengan mek tau! Harharhar *Ceh, baru jer feels² sad entry, dah buat lawak spastic! LOL!

Farewell 2006; Hello 2007!!!





It's the end of 2006, and welcomes the fresh new start of 2007! Wow, seriously, cepat sunggoh masa berlalu kan? Like, I thought it was like only yesterday jer kite celebrated 2006 January 1st, kan? Dahhh masuk 2007 pulak katanya - dasyat sunggoh masa berlalu...

Initially this entry dah di buat at 00:00:01, January 1st, 2007. But it was just an entry with that pic of myself wishing Happy New Year 2007, and that was it. Ok, so as promised, entry ini akan di updated-kan katanya, kan? So mrasa. Mek nak update siket...

Nothing much nak diupdatekan pon - nope, not telling how I celebrated new year ke ape ke - maybe next time, next entry. So apanye yang mek nak update dalam entry nih? Aha - as usual. AZAM TAHUN BARU! Mati la azam tahun lepas mek tak brapa ingat dah ape nye! LOL!

So what will it be, semangat dan azam tahun baru for me utk 2007? :) Here's the list...
  1. To not maintain my weight - (no, am not saying am gonna get fat again! LOL!) Cukup lah pengalaman 2005 mek mengkimpahkan diri, kan? Seksa bebenor 2006 menurunkan balik berat badan. And after Miss World pageant hari tu, cukup la mek pamperedkan diri mek dengan MAKAN MAKAN dan MAKAN tak ingat donia! YES, mek dosi gained weight a bit. So 2007, mek nak bukan skadar maintain weight, but to KURANGKAN lagi sampai 55kg. November 2006, during the pageant, mek was 59kg. And by end of the year 2006, mek dah up balik to 64kg. So mek nak kena turunkan balik, not just back to 55kg (weight-dulu yang tak tercapai before the pageant) but to maintain back that weight of 55kg!
  2. Azam mek, to jaga keharmonian dan mengekalkan perhubungan mek dengan DIA... siapakah? Nanti lah mek gembar gemburkan. Tell now also, still new. Kang tak jadik as planned, naya jer. Biar lah lama siket - nanti mek introduce... tapi personally for me, mek nak jaga relationship tu sebaik mungkin and make it last...
  3. Azam mek yang ketiga nih, well, erm, cemana nak cakap ek... ok. As many of you ols tahu, mek kuat emo - DQ and stuff, right? Time after time mek cuba tangani masalah attitude emo nih, kan? But 2007 - yes, mek akan tetap cuba tangani masalah emo over dq ke ape ke nih semua - tapi bukannye mek nak hapuskan that attribute in me. Sebab kalau mek tak over dq, mek tak over emo, it wouldn't have made what I am today. Being sensitive is a must as a human being - or else you would be called a heart-less person for not being sensitive towards your surroundings, correct? Tapi once kite dipush over our limits, thats when kite tend to get over emo and over sensitive too. So I plan to work on that, not to hapuskan part of me tu, but to kurangkan. And as for the rest, yang tak dapat terima my attribute tu, I guess, I tak mampu to accommodate you la kot. Like, to be friends, and part of the human being cyle around the globe, one must be able to accept siapa yang dia berkawan tu, baik dan buruknya, kan? Apa aku merepek dalam point number 3 nih ek - ish! All am saying is that, accept me for who and what I truly am, and if you can't, its your lost not mine... azam mek this year, to berikan lebih perhatian dan kepentingan kepada how I would feel, how my heart would react to everything and everything, and kurangkan about thinking about how others would feel or think about me. Priority, pada diri sendiri (but that doesn't make me an over-sensitive heartless bitch tau! LOL!) dan secondly baru pada the surroundings. I've been concentrating on how ppl that revolved around me feels and thinks instead of thinking about myself... :)
  4. Azam mek utk tahun 2007 - nak majukan dan perkembangkan lagi business mek yang mek dah jaga nak masuk 2 tahun dah nih! :) Mek will be appointing someone dari golongan family/ relatives jugak to be 2nd after me in the company, jussst in case kalaaaau... erm... *see point number 6...
  5. Finally - azam mek tahun nih - kurangkan musuh dan ramaikan kenalan lagi (aiyoh, so Miss Frienship sangat kan this last one nih? LOL!!!)
  6. This one, I was planning to just keep it to myself tapi, owh well, what the heck. Azam mek utk tahun 2007 - mek nak get myself involved balik dengan Airlines. I know, I know, I know I dah established and have my own company and what not; tapi sometimes, when you like and love doing something, sometimes you just can't let it go just like that, kan? Tah lah - this one, mek tak der lah kata azam mek utk tahun 2007 yang mek ingin dan akan kecapi, tapiii, kalau ade rezeki, apa lah salahnya... Apa yang mek cakapkan nih? Well - lets just say, biarlah ia menjadi tanda soal lagi buat peringkat sekarang, tapi cukup mek katakan yang it has something to do with Emirates and Qatar Airways... :)
So itu lah dia - edited update(s) for this entry! Happy New Year 2007!!! May all your dreams come true this year around.

PS: For those yang have been sms-ing me, sending me greetings and New Year's wishes and all over at my 012 mobile, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know I know - ade some yang berbalas, ade some (actually, MOSTLY - hiks!) yang TAK berbalas. Tah lah, kadang² tu, tak berbalas sms anda tu, doesn't mean mek tak teringat nak membalasnye, kan? Hehehehe... it's just... the usual alasan... BUSY LAH U OLS! Mati la mek busy apa tatau? Buat show new year in Penang? OPS! Lalalalala... duiii!!!

2006 - Looking back at a very colorful year...


An entry which sums up the whole year of 2006... I was actually looking forward to end the year with this entry - personally I think, this entry means a lot to me...



Indeed 2006 has been a very colorful year for me - a very rewarding year with tons of sweet memories that would last centuries after this; the year that allowed me to travel the world, expend my thoughts and dreams and let me be on top of that very dream in my own world at the end of 365 days in 2006. Of course, not that am forgetting the usual downs among the many ups throughout the year... But I guess, that's life I suppose - there's ups and definitely downs, gotta give a little in order to take a little, you gotta cry a little to smile, and most of all, in this life, you win some, and definitely you'll lose some. But in my case, I don't think its too much to say, that, I lose some in the beginning, and cry a lot (despite having a good year though... LOL!), to be all jolly and overjoyed and have that extra big happy smile on my face by the year end! :)

Throughout the year 2006...

Work work and work:
Thanks to the family business, I was given the chance to travel the world again... I thought I won't be able to travel abroad again after I finished my services with MH. But I guess I thought wrong. Throughout the year, I have realized that, the business/ work that am doing, its not so bad after all. I kindda like enjoyed doing it - it reminded me so much of my times back with MH. And for that I'm forever grateful to be given the chance to still be able to see the world...

Family affairs:
My family has always been there for me since, I could remember. In 2006, my family, not only had given me the chance to prove that I'm able to handle the business on my own and lead my life as I want to, but the main thing that I'm glad that happened in 2006, would definitely, the acceptance and understanding they had towards me. Being 27 means I'm an adult - and with that comes specific obligations (in which I think I have done my level best to show them that am capable of doing) and I think came in the respect from them towards me. I felt like, although am back staying with them under the same roof, still, I feel that they have understood and started to realize that its time to let lose of the control-chain and give me the trust that I needed. And for that am again, forever thankful, and grateful...

Personal life:
When 2005 came, I sort of like wanted to just disappear from the eyes of the public who knew Nurlea Laurielle Lai Lee @ Lea Laurielle - maybe not for good, but just for a while. And I did that. And I also recalled saying that after the 2005 silence, I'd come back in 2006. And indeed I did. It was a steadily slow start-off in early 2006, slowly but surely, I came back to the scene. Strange, because, after a year of silence (silence from public-appearance, not ONLINE because I was still reachable, online! LOL!), I never realized that it'll bring a great impact on me. I thought it'll just be like the ol'times. Again, my guess was wrong. It was as though I was starting anew, starting fresh, and back at zero, starting from scratch. And the 1st attempt in the scene (beauty pageant); I wouldn't call it as a failure, but it didn't turn out the way it should have been. But note that I didn't complaint, nor was I feeling upset about it. I was sure there would be something better for me to come. And indeed, something better happened in my life and what better way to end the year with a victory. Winning Miss World 2006 was like a dream come true. For once, (or make that twice if you count IQP2006) I wasn't expecting anything, I wasn't hoping for anything - and which I felt much happier when I won because it's the least expected victory. Finally, after a long wait, after the ups and downs preparing for it, the hard work and sweat and all those crazy diet routines and what not, FINALLY, it paid off. No need for ppl to do this, but I'm very much proud to say that I don't mind tapping my shoulders and say, "WELL DONE LEA!" Wouldn't you be proud too if you were in my shoes? But proud, not to that level where you tend to forget your roots and neglect your surroundings and how they feel. Yes, I'm very much thankful I didn't reach to that level. 2006 has definitely put me in a position where I'm on top of my own world, and there, I can see myself, doing things, step by step, went through stage by stage, experiencing the hurdles in life to be where I am now... really I didn't see it coming. Who would have thought? 2004 Dec, I felt my life came crashing down into thousand little pieces. Dec 2005, I could be up for the next Miss Jumbo 2006? And Dec 2006 - here I am, smiling my way writing this entry, happy to be where I am now and thinking - I DID IT! And am also talking about the weight issue here, yes... Guess one of my wishes for 2006 did come true - I lost weight! (And congratulations Lea, you're gaining it back! LOL!)

Online Social life:
Apart from gaining back the status in the year 2006, and seeing faces I've missed, the year also see me getting hyperly active in socializing online. With the personal website at www.lealaurielle.com, and its Members Area and Forum and all, I'd have to say that 2006 has thought me a lot to be more of a PC-literate person. Believe me if I haven't spent like more than 12 hours a day, just sitting in front of the pc (not just blogging and exploring the wonderful world on the world wide web), I would have to say that I'd be still have a long was to go in understanding the life 'online' and catching up things to be knowledgable and compatible in the ever advanced world. And thus, having the urge to get all socialized online, it made me meet, and have more friends, more than I never would have thought of having. And so, I can say that 2006, I've increased the number of friends, and am happy for that!

Love life:
I shall not dwell much about it, but as far as 2006 is concerned, I guess my love life is going on smoothly now. No point talking about the downs in the love lane - I guess that's what I had to go through, to be happy with HIM now...

All in all - definitely, 2006 gave me the chance to experience the best in life and what it has got to offer for now, and it is definitely, a sure-case of rewarding and liberating experience(s) of my life and I will always look back at 2006 with a big smile on my face... Thank You 2006...



12 hours left, and so long, farewell, 2006...

Slow Internet Connection - How to use proxy


Case: Slow Internet Connection (Sources - thanks to forum Cari.com.my di board Internet, Multimedia, Web Design)

************************************************************************

Msg posted by zep:

UPDATES : Internet users has been advised that repair work at APCN2 may take several days, which means the slow link to international sites may persist for a while.

What is APCN2?

It is the longest international seabed fibre cable network, 19,000km in total length, in the Asia-Pacific, linking China, Japan, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and onward to linking America, Europe and Australia. The network went into operation in October 2002 for the initial phase.

The project was spearheaded by 26 telecommunications companies, namely Advantel, Cable & Wireless Global Network, Cable&Wireless HKT, China Telecom, China Unicom, Chunghwa Telecom, Concert, Global Network Services, Global One, Japan Telecom, KDD Corpe ration, Korea Telecom, KPN, Layer 2, MCI, WorldCom, Metromedia Giber Network Service, NTT Com, NCIC, OneLink Cable Network, PLDT, StarHub, SingTel, Taiwan Fixed Network, Teleglobe, Telekom Malaysia, Telstra and Williams Communications.

The APCN2 cable system was designed to provide 2.56 Terrabits per second (Tbps) using state-of-the-art Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology to provide upgradeable, future proof transmission facilities. However, APCN2 currently runs on a designated transmission capacity of 160 Gigabits per second (Gbps).

According to the APCN2 agreement, Malaysia maintains a Terminal Station at Segment T2, Kuantan, whihc is within Segment S2 and represented by TM Berhad. Whereas, Segment S7 affected by this morning's earthquake consists of submarine cable containing four (4) optical fibre pairs that connect the Network Interfaces at the Terminal Station at Tanshui (Taiwan); and at the Terminal Station at Shantou (Mainland China).

Under the APCN2 specifications, all Segment S are terminal stations equipped with critical terminal equipment, including Network Interface for STM-1, STM-4, STM-16 and STM-64 levels.

Critically, the APCN2 Agreement also provisions that all Segment S must maintain adequate inventory of related spare and standby units and components, which include but not limited to optical amplifiers, BUs (Branching Units), cable lengths, and terminal equipment.

The customers' anticipation is none other than swift service recovery.

ANNOUNCEMENT

We wish to inform our customers that the Internet service is currently experiencing a degradation in performance caused by several outages at some of the international links.  This is attributed to the Richter 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck off the southern coast of Taiwan at 12.07 a.m. on 27th December 2006, which caused the APCN2 (Asia Pacific Cable Network 2) submarine cable fault between Shantou, China and Tanshui, Taiwan and between Lantau, Hong Kong and Chongming, China.

This has caused outages at several TM Net international transit and peering links, mainly to the said countries. As a result,  Internet users in Malaysia and other parts of Asia may be experiencing some delay when assessing content and websites hosted outside of Malaysia, especially in U.S., Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea and Europe. TM Net has taken immediate action to divert traffic through other back-up links to reduce the traffic congestion.

The international providers are carrying out immediate restoration works to rectify the problem.  We will be making further announcements when the service has resumed.

TM Net Sdn Bhd apologizes for any inconvenience caused whilst at the same time, we would like to assure you that we are doing all that is necessary in order to restore the service as soon as possible.
