Still I Rise

by Maya Angelou



You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like
I've got oil wellsPumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard'
Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling
I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Dear Waieylia,

this morning i was talking to sugar about how badly i wanna change my job and bla bla bla.. and guess what, the horoscope did it again.. today's horoscope really said smthg about it..this is so scary...read it for urself...

dear waieylia,

Today's Pisces Moon feels like the beginning of an end. You're ready to call it quits and start something new, but you may be jumping the gun. Stick to what you're doing for another day, even if you're already bored. You'll gain more now by sinking into your feelings about your past than distracting yourself by prematurely changing your direction.




p/s: isn't this ...i dun even have a word to describe it..hahaha

Dear Waieylia,

It is so scary how sometimes horoscope can describe urself very well. Today, as i was surfing the net, i read daily horoscope that i already set it up in my igoogle page and it is so surprise that the horoscope know exacly where i am today.

read this to understand what i meant:

dear waieylia,

You're enthusiastic about taking a journey, yet uncertainty is beginning to take root and you don't understand why. Worries about your family or concerns about your own emotional security may prevent you from traveling anywhere, now. Fortunately, you can go somewhere without ever leaving home. The advantage of a mental excursion is that no one will even know that you're gone. You can explore the distant reaches of the universe in your imagination while on the job and still return in the wink of an eye to answer the phone.

Agents in actions...

Finally agents went to the trip that they had been planning for so long. The trip was not so great but with all agents stick together, everything was fun. They just need each other to have fun.
Here are the highlights of the trip that I can still remember.

• Sugar is the one who is late instead of Egg. We are expecting egg to be late..haha

• Couldn’t find pepper house even though pepper was waving her hand to them.. =.=

• Breakfast at seremban is not as good as expected but still ok.

• Sugar was attacked by spider at the traffic light.

• In the car, the girls share their stories on how they approach a guy that they like before. Egg remain silence..

• Egg was sleeping almost the whole trip before reached Malacca except when the girls talking about the approaching guy issues.

• Egg sexy posed in the car.. They have picture to prove it and will use that to blackmail egg when they need to one day..hehe

• Pepper can’t sing for the whole trip.. 

• They had great time at Nadeje and the cake was nice.. Great time most probably because there’s aircond..haha

• Malacca was hot that day.

• Jonker street was full with people. They done a little shopping. Played bubble. hehe

• Went to pepper’s grandmother house.. Had a great tea time.

• Sugar, Honey and Egg never see perigi before so pepper did the honor to show them. Haizz

• Klebang coconut shake was the best even though they had to wait for a looongg time. Pepper and egg always had a fight in the car until honey need to shout ‘Peace Needed’ to them..

• Honey bought a nice pink hat..good buy…haha

• Cowboy town was boring except for the fireworks and the baby girl. There was one young mother with 2 daughters. The eldest is around 2 years old and the youngest is 3 months old. She brought the kids to the carnival without company. So pepper helping the young mother to hold the baby when needed..hehe

• The elephant were crying and they will forced you to take photo and sell to you for RM20.. Agents so smart, don’t even bother to see the pic..hehe

• Dinner was fun coz they travelled to dunno where basically covered the whole alor gajah town to find food and keep u-turning. Passed by the same police roadblocks for few times. Finally they found 1 burger stall, decided to buy the burger for dinner and find petrol station to buy Maggie and some food for breakfast.. the Petronas did not sell Maggie…haizzz

• The 1st bite of the burger tasted so good coz they are hungry but the satisfaction slowly decrease as they continue biting the burger..haha

• One thing for sure, the agents were thinking about the same thing when they bite the burger. Regret they did not eat nasi lemak at klebang coconut shake..

• They played UNO the whole night.. can say that pepper lead in winning…:P *they will kill pepper if they found out this*

• 3, 4 shut the door…. Camera sick… =(

• Before sleep the girls keep adjusting the aircond temperature. In the middle of the night, honey was sweating and woke up to adjust back the temperature. The next morning Honey asked pepper, doesn’t she felt hot since she slept in the middle? Guess what pepper said, she is comfortable..haha

• Sugar spoke mandarin + Cantonese to pepper when she woke up.. the word is ‘chi sen’.. She asked twice and pepper said ‘what’ twice too..haha

• After camera, pepper continue her ability to spoilt machine.. next victim was the hair dryer.. but Honey save the day, with honey touched, the hair dryer was alive again..haha

• Safari trip was rather sad. It was sad to see the animal so skinny and lonely.

• Egg was attacked by the pony virus. Flu the whole journey back.

• They drove back to the city for a nyonya lunch since the day before they were late the restaurant closed. Waited for 45 minutes for the food and cleared the food in 15 minutes..hahaha

• The mood on the way back compared to on the way for the trip was totally different..

• Half way on the highway, the fuel tank blinking and they are in search for petrol station.. Even agents encounter these problem..=.=

• Sent pepper home, sugar went back, Honey and egg went dinner together..



With this, the agents complete their 1st away trip. More to comes..hehe

Gym-ing part 2

‘I forgot my pants.’ Chote voice on the phone. Nemo speechless.

‘Hmm..How can u forgot your pants?’ She asks Chote in disbelief tone.

‘I don’t know.’ Chote laughed..

‘So, I guess you need to go home to take your pants first before you can go to the gym right? Meaning u will be late.’ Ask Nemo.

‘You are so smart.’ With that they end the phone conversation.

Nemo waited for Chote around 20 minutes before both girls enter the gym. Excited about today’s workout, they changed their cloths. Then as usual, start cycling.

Ram, the instructor came to the girls and say hello.

‘How are you girls today? Ready to sweat?’ He starts the conversation.

With excited face both of them nod their head. Ram laughs looking at the girls’ action.

‘Who ready to go first?’. Looking at each other, Nemo and Chote can’t decide on this. Silence.

‘I’ll go first. But I don’t want heavy exercise because I need to have fun this weekend.’ Nemo broke the silence.

‘Ok. Today won’t be heavy exercise. Why don’t we start with leg exercise? Let’s go.’ Ram ready to move when Nemo give him a very big smile on her face.

‘Can we start personal training next week? I don’t like to take risk that my leg will hurt this weekend.’ With a speechless face, Ram nods his head.

‘Sure, anything that you said. But we must start soon ok. So I guess, today you girls just have fun with the machine and call me if need anything.’ The girls smile and continue their cycling.

‘Hey girls, what’s up?
‘You guys came straight from office? Same office?’. The girls turn their head. Deo, one of the staff in the gym is a young macho girl. Well, that is what she tries to portray as her image but for us, a girl is still a girl.

‘From office but not same office, mine in KL while her office in Cyberjaya.’ Nemo answer Deo question.

Deo nodded her head. The girls continue to cycle.

As usual after cycling the girls will go to the tread mill for some walk and jogging. Maybe because their knowledge of the machine is limited so they rather go to the simple machine.

While jogging in the thread mill, Deo come again to have a friendly chat with them. Maybe she is too bored after working and happy to have someone she can talk to rather than talking to all the Middle Eastern people who from their observation is the majority of the gym members.

Standing beside Chote, Deo and Chote seems like having a good conversation while Nemo continue her exercise. After awhile, Deo left the girls and chote turns her head to Nemo with a weird expression.

‘What’s with your expression? Something wrong?. Nemo start the conversation.

‘Deo asked me how close we are. She even asked are you guys really close. Wei, what is that suppose to mean la?.' The tone and the expression of chote explain one thing which is confuse and excited.

‘Huh?’. Weird look from Nemo face.

‘She even tell me that she wanna ask me something about you but not now’. Chote laugh.

‘And how is that funny?.’ Ask Nemo.

‘I don’t know but I’m excited. I think she likes you.’ Chote share her opinion.

Nemo give her a undefined expression. ‘We shall see.’ She finally says something.

Apart from that, the rest of the gym session is normal and they done slightly before 10pm after showering.

‘I am hungry. Where to eat?.' Nemo ask Chote while walking to their car.

‘Oblong Burger?.' Chote suggest and they look at each other.

‘After gym?.' Ask Nemo. Chote nod and laugh.

‘Let’s go.’ They drive to Wangsa Maju for oblong burger with a big smile on their face.

When it comes to food, they just don’t care how far the place is. =.=

The Coolest Agents in Town

This is the story of 4 agents.. Pepper, Honey, Sugar, and Egg..
How they become an agents and how they get the name is a long story..
They have completed quite a number of missions successfully and they are among the coolest agent u can find…
Anyway, after few mission together they decided to take a break and have some fun, so they decided to go for a trip.. They start to plan but little that they know, they have a conflict on their own.

1st conflict is decided where to go, from Penang, to Genting, to Pahang and finally decided Malacca..

2nd is when to go.. Well, this has been going on for about more than 6 months already..They keep postponing because they don’t have the time since they are the coolest agents so their demand is very high on the field. But they manage to choose a date and all the agents promised to block their schedule on the weekend that they had decided.

Deciding on individual task is not difficult. It has been decided that Sugar will do the booking and Honey will drive. Pepper will decide on where to eat for breakfast and promise not to sing for the whole weekend and Egg will not bully pepper on the trip. Seems like pepper and Egg get the easier task but it is not. To be honest pepper and egg get the toughest task. Not singing for the whole weekend and especially when they are having fun and Egg not to bully Pepper??? This is impossible task for them.. Let see whether they manage to complete their task or not…haha

After a long discussion, they come to a conclusion on what time they should depart from KL before going to seremban for their breakfast.

Agent Sugar who is very excited about the whole trip plan almost everything from where to go and what to eat. She is the best in planning.. *thumbs up*
But she has few conflicts too in deciding where to eat for the trip. Pepper only eats Halal food, honey doesn’t eat hawker stall food unless it is a very popular place, and Egg doesn’t eat spicy food. Agents have full confident in Sugar that she will come out with the best plan for the trip.. let’s hope for the best..

So seems like everything is done and ready to go.

Will they have difficulties on the trip? Will they survive? Will they have fun?
Hmm… let them experience it first and we will find out soon...
Wish them all the best and have a safe and fun journey. =)

Specially for Chote
