I received a call this morning from Abang Rahim saying that our friend, Sazli Morah Abas had passed away. I tried to call his wife, Ella, my 90’s bestest buddy, but to no avail. Left her a message, though. I understand in time like this, nobody would pick up their phone. I regretted that I could not make it to pay my last respect. I got to talk to him (thru P.Sri’s mobile) 2 years back and he promised that one day we would all meet up for old time sakes. I guess that is not going to happen. My most sincere and heartfelt condolence to his wife, Ella, his 3 children, as well as all of his immediate family and close friends.

May Allah shower His blessings upon his spirit…Al Fatihah…

I’ve had bad headache around 5:00pm yesterday and with the thunderstorm and lightning hovering over the sky I switched off my computer and headed to the sofa for a rest. The headache went badly after break fasting and I laid down and fell asleep. Normally a quick nap helps, but I woke up around 11:00pm with a feeling that somebody had knocked me head with a hammer or something. My son was already fast asleep and my husband gave me Panadol Actifast pills to ease the pain in the head and gave me a movie DVD to watch – The Butterfly Effect. I wasn’t into watching movie at all but my husband said it’s the kind of movie that I like to watch; so I watched. Not bad. It’s about a boy, Evan, who had series of blackouts and cannot remember what had happened. His mother brought him to see a psychologist who encouraged him to keep a journal, detailing the events of his day-to-day life. While in college, Evan reads from one of his journals and finds himself thrust suddenly back in time. He comes to realize that the journals are a vehicle that can transport him to the past and reclaim his memories. He went back and tries to change his past only to mess the lives of his childhood friends, most crucially that of Kayleigh, his childhood sweetheart. The climax was where he changes the past that he never wrote any journal. In the end, he found a way to go back by watching a movie that his mother made during his birthday where he first met Kayleigh. He went back again and made Kayleigh hates him. They never became friends and Evan successfully spares all the terrifying experiences. The movie doesn’t really make sense, but I just love it. Worth the watch; my bad headache subsided at the end of the movie. The pills are not bad either.

Oh yeah, Ashton Kutcher was the teenage/adult Evan.

Ok, I’m off to check out some speakers. My husband is in need of a good speaker for his laptop; the mobile kind. Found and bookmarked a site with a wide range of good speakers in buy.com few days ago. Will be back here again tonight.
