Happy Merdeka..
This is what a friend wished me. Yet, I don't see the reason for me to celebrate. The meaning of Merdeka has changed. In the past, Merdeka meant freedom but today, it simply become meaningless to me.
So have a nice Merdeka Day and free your soul...

My Life Updates
I should have written this a long time ago but I didn't have the time and even now as I am typing out this post, I am actually working on a project and it is 2.02 am. I am never going to sleep until I finish the project but it seems like forever for me to finish it. *sigh*
What have been happening lately?
1. Permatang Pauh by-election is over and the candidate who won the election is none other than DSAI (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim). I am happy that he won after all I would like to see what development and changes that he is going to implement. One thing for sure the Parliament is going to be hotter than Beyonce.
2. I am very busy with work. It is just the same every week. Tight schedule and not enough time.
3. I am so addicted to The Cave of The Golden Rose (a.k.a. Fantaghiro). I love the character Fantaghiro, Tarabas and Romualdo. Who doesn't like the main characters anyway?
4. I rely on YouTube to get my daily dose of Fantaghiro. There is an user who upload videos of Fantaghiro series in English Language. This is what I need, as most of the other videos are in either Italian, Slovakia, Dutch...etc...
5. Still addicted to Cinderella. Please refer to Writing Angel for more info on that.
6. Merdeka (Independence Day) is around the corner (less than 48 hours) and yet I don't feel the excitement. I wonder why?
7. I am hungry as the time of writing this post.
8. Joined the Bloggers Unite:
9. You should join too being as a blogger.
10. Nicholas Rogers: the most exotic man I have ever seen. (He is Tarabas in Fantaghiro series)
*more later on...

Election..Again..
1. First of all, sorry for being away for a long time. I have been very busy with freelancing work that has been mounted as high as Everest.
2. Secondly, 26 August would be the biggest day of history in 2008 as there will be another election in a town known as Permatang Pauh in Penang. The opposition vs. The government. (I do hope the opposition would win because I want to see what the opposition is capable to do since the current government has disappointed me very much).
3. I am working on a new blog, thought of launching it in September but I guess I could not make it so it will have to be delayed.
4. That's all for now...

I am Back
I know, I have been away for a few days now and I am back. I have many things to say and I am going to start right away.
1. I have been back to my home town since last Friday and it was very unpleasant.
2. I have been hit by another big issue. Always the same problem: financial
3. I have been dying to see the world but I am confined within my own world.
4. I want to earn more money but no one seems to be interested in giving me any jobs.
5. I am using Craigslist now posting my ads.
6. I have been away from GoSmellTheFlowers for some time as well. Better get back to them before Jim and Em forgot about me..
7. I am addicted to ebook so much that I can't stop downloading them.
8. I would recommend manybooks.net for other book lovers.
9. I am going to look for more jobs.
10. I am going to stop here and start again soon as I need to think of what to say...

More Ramblings Today
1. I noticed that there are more people subscribed to my RSS. Thanks.
2. I am extremely addicted to Lowyat that I can't seem to be logout from it or not visiting the site at least one day, although I usually stay login the whole day.
3. My Garage Sale 1 and Garage Sale 2. Want to buy something but can't find it anywhere else. Maybe you can find it here.
4. No Spaghetti this weekend but just a simple meal made from Kai Lan and salted fish. Excellent dish to go with rice.
5. I am listening to Pushing Daisies' music, songs and all. Might share it here sometime later.
6. Feeling sad when no one actually say anything to me by leaving comments or a message in the chatbox.
7. According to DailyBlogTips, Alexa has become worthless. I used to think that Alexa provides the best service but apparently it is slacking off lately.
8. I am still reading Deathly Hollows and it is getting so intense now I am totally hooked on to it. I have always been a fan to Harry Potter books and movies (of course the books would come first and later movies).
9. Narnia is slipping away from me. Maybe because of Harry Potter.
10. Independence Day is drawing close but I don't feel the excitement yet. Is there any excitement at all after what has happened these few weeks in Malaysia?
11. Do you know which is my favourite video for today? Check this out:
Surprise...
12. Apparently someone asked in Lowyat whether to CAPS or not when writing a blog post. I would say NO to CAPS when I am writing a blog post.
13. The more I write about quit smoking, the more I am addicted to it (not that I am a smoker). Check this out: I-Will-Quit-Smoking (the perfect place to get started)
14. Suddenly I feel that I have a tendency to work at night rather than during the day. I am more concentrated at night maybe because of the silence and only me in the work room typing out the words flowing in my head, only the sound of my keyboard breaks the silence. I am happy with it. The only thing is that I will have to sleep at 3/4am.
15. People are actually asking for freelancing tips from me? OMG, I am not the expert and they are asking the wrong person but I supposed maybe because I am new so they want to know the experience of someone who has just been in this industry for a short time rather than those who have years of experience.
16. Maybe I should start a freelancing blog but my favourite to date is Freelance Folder. I learnt most of the skills there and of course I add in my own skills as well to make it unique rather than just copying everything they teach.
17. I have problem with Yahoo Messenger and to install it all over again is like going through hell so I reserve to using web.im instead.
18. Problogger is probably the best blog teacher apart from Daily Blog Tips.
19. This is a picture to share with everyone:
What a wonderful picture of Pushing Daisies' main characters, Chuck (Charlotte) and Ned (the Pie Maker).
Pushing Daisies is also reminding me of Go Smell The Flowers, an extremely fun blog...
20. This is the screen shot of Freelance Folder, nice and neat. Totally organised like a folder.
Cheers :-)

My Random Ramblings
I am going to have a change here in Phoenicia's Life. I am going to adopt the Mahathir style of blogging. I am going to use numbers instead of paragraphs. I find it easier to read and focus. So bear with me while I continue my blogging.
1. Look at my Technorati status:
The authority is rising higher, which is a good thing. Started off at 0 (zero) and now I have at least 5 reactions. Hopefully there will be more of it.
2. I have been very busy lately with so many writing projects coming at me. Yes, it is supposed to be good. Well, I have been writing for such a long time I don't think I can ever stop writing even just some ramblings.
3. I have abandon my Facebook for some time now and it is time to pick up the pieces.
4. The same goes to my Frienster. *sigh*
5. I think that every Malaysian should read Kerajaan Rakyat blog and Chedet.com. At least in Kerajaan Rakyat, you can read the unbiased stories and in Chedet.com, simply because he was our PM and he has really great opinions about the latest issues happening in Malaysia.
6. I am addicted to Lowyat Forum. I was conned by a Lowyat user and since then I lost interest in it. I don't hate Lowyat that time, it was just that I do not want to repeat the history again but this time, I am in Lowyat for discussion and helping around, perhaps I can even spot a scam or a fraud.
7. My Writing Angel has changed theme and I am loving it. Hopefully once I have more visitors I can get my own domain and hosting.
8. Need to go back to hometown on 15th August, means have to use more money. Where do I get instant cash?
9. I need a break. I need a holiday. Sadly, I don't have enough money to go on a holiday yet so I will have to wait.
10. I am listening to Sway by Bic Runga, Money by Jesca Hoop and Banana Pancake by Jack Johnson.
11. I am reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows.
12. I am craving for chocolates, Secret Recipe's meatballs spaghetti and cloud 9.
13. I can't wait to watch The Duchess. I always have an interest for historical movies. The last one I watched was The Other Boleyn Girl.
14. I love The Joker and I hope Two Face will be in the sequel. Sadly Batman has lose his credibility and popularity. I realised that people are more interested in watching the bad guys rather than the good guys. Even I am sick of the good characters.
But I will make an exception for Harry Potter. I can never like Voldemort.
15. I thought that Sex & The City is going to be extremely interesting but then again I find it quite dull but overall it is ok.
16. I am so in love with Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies. Check out Writing Angel for more info on that.
17. I am thinking about starting a new blog but I have to plan out everything first.
18. I am in love with spaghetti so I am going to make it this weekend again. Perhaps this time I should try something else. Meatballs? I can never forget cheese.
19. The Mummy featuring Jet Li, Brendan Fraser and Michelle Yeoh is excellent. Heck, finally no more egytian mummy but an ancient Chinese Mummy.
20. Alright, the final thing I need to show you, Phoenician readers...my GAF feedbacks and ratings~

Merdeka, The Month of Independence (2)
Merdeka: Independence
The picture is a scene in 1957 just moments before the beginning of a new era. An era of Independence and today in 2008, I wonder just how independent we have become...

Merdeka, The Month of Independence
Finally, it is the big day, 1st of August. The start of the Independence month. 31st August would be Malaysia's Independence Day and I am wondering if we really achieved independence or being more dependent.
**** more later
