My best fren’s husband posted this comment, I found the song, it’s “So small” by Carrie Underwood. Quite a nice song indeed. But I have to change the lyrics to become:
Cause sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you’ve been out there searching for forever
Was in your hand
Thanks anyway bro…This one goes to my favourite songs (a.k.a songs that I keep playing for hours) of the month together with: 
- Jordin Sparks-No Air
- Daughtry-Home
- Beyonce-If I were a Boy
- Jason Mraz-Lucky
- Daughtry-Over You
- Jason Mraz-I’m Yours
- Kla Project-Semoga
- Nickelback-Gotta be Somebody
- Kla Project-Meski T’lah Jauh
The last song was re-found recently, thanks to my new fren who sent me the lyrics (how to say it in a sarcastic way in english?)
Meski T’lah Jauh
Kadang angan
Terbang jauh ke awan
Rasa rindu, kian menawan
Dingin dan kelam
Remukanku di dalam
Kadang murung
Meluap tak terbendung
Rasa sesal s’makin mengurung
Sejak kau pergi
Berlari dan menangis
Meski t’lah jauh ke mana
Kau coba ‘tuk sembunyi
Satu saat nanti akan kembali … jua
Oleh cinta
Telah lama kabar menghampa
Namun kisah kita, takkan mudah terlupa…
Uhhh…dalem…I don’t dare to translate it to English. But it’s a very2 nice lyrics and deep in meaning (for certain people), typical of KLA songs. I really love KLA very much. A fren ever gave me some (pirated) CDs of KLA songs (what to say we were poor at that time 
), and they are some of my must-pack things. I always bring them though I’ve already copied the songs to my harddisk but I think it’s time to discard them. Piracy law is highly enforced nowadays.

Why is it called two-livin-in-hell weeks? Well, I got two term projects deadline, one assignment deadline, and the research things deadline that force me to stay in the front of computer for more than 12 hrs each day for the whole two weeks. And exam was due in less than three weeks. Those were totally my hectic days, and thanks God, I was still given one week of break before another exhausted and hard-to-cope-with week (in which my progress in research was a big zero…sigh 
) 
Alhamdulillah, I passed those two weeks Thanks God. Well, it didn’t go as smooth as I thought. On the end of the first week, I felt pain at the right waist area which I suspected as kidney infection (I didn’t go to the doctor, but got that in junior high so I thought it was the same). The pain was quite disturbing, I had to stop the four hours sleep per nite, drank lot of water, and made my self look silly by holding my right waist while walking. The most painful moment was when I had to ruku in the prayer. God, it was so painful that I really wanted to cry . Fortunately the pain was vanished in several days after so I didn’t have to go to the doctor which could be very expensive and didn’t have to poison myself with medicine. I was all firm and sound on Friday for my term project presentation and the big crocs sale in the weekend. Hehe..so happy…
Since I didn’t want me or anybody else to feel the same pain as I did, please don’t forget to drink water at least 6 glasses (1200 mL) per day. It’s equivalent to two bottles of 600 mL mineral water. However, people who work under high temperature, or do intensive physical work and sport, should increase the quantity properly. (Yes, that’s including you ami, the borneo’s sun is strikingly hot, rite?) 
Tips for healthy habit of drinking water:
- Drink limited quantities (each time about 200 mL) of water several time every day
- Drink a glass of water as soon as we get up in the morning and when we are about to go to bed
- Avoid the habit of drinking water only when thirsty
One said that you can live without eating for several days but you can’t survive even a day without drinking water. Wish you all the best health in your life everyone, and don’t forget to drink water.

It’s crocs, it’s sale…
Those two words don’t get along quite often. Once they do, then it’s war…hehe…kidding. However, it did really feel like the zone of war 
There were two crocs sale recently. One was on the 1-2 Nov, the beginning of my two-livin-in-hell weeks, the other one was on the 14-16 Nov, the end of my two-livin-in-hell weeks. Which one did I go to? well, literally both of them. 
I did go to the first one, queuing up for almost two hours just to get into the sale place (which was in a building something in red hill, my fren said it was way too small for an event like crocs warehouse sale) before deciding to go home and forget bout it. Such a waste of time. The second one was hold at expo. The place was more decent than the previous one, and this was the end of my hectic weeks, so I decided to give myself a little pleasure (by shopping) :P.
On the first day (15 Nov) I went there after lunch (thanks to my supervisor who asked me to grade undergrad project on weekend) and it was another queu just to get in the hall. Ish. Fortunately, my fren (my housemates to be exact) was already on the line, and the line moved faster than the first sale’s so I managed to spend several hours choosing five pairs for me, my mother, my father, and my brothers. (yes, the blessing of being single is less people to buy something for_yaks ngiklan, this commercial break is presented by honeyphew :P). It was another at-least-one-hour queu to get to the cashier. So, I gave all the stuff to my housemates (hehe) to catch my class at five. Total damage was around $100…waks…spent on one day only sigh…But it’s crocs anyway…and for crocs $20/pair is way so cheap…
The day after, after going to changi beach park, we (me+my housemates) went there again…I was so dizzy that day so I thought I might just look around people struggling with each other regardless men or women (women mostly ). While I was wandering around enjoying myself, I caught a glimpse of some apparels that apparently was sold at very2 low price. It was $8 for long sleeve, $5 for short sleeve, and $9/3 for children apparels which were so cute and nice that make me think to buy some for whoever’s children I might have to visit later (not quite a good reason for shopping )
I ended up buying two long sleeves for me and my mother and another two long sleeves for my brothers. (again the blessing of being single, focus on ur family only ;)) When we were almost reaching the cashier, we (I) found a pair of red-pinkish shoes left by people who changed their mind in the last minutes. We unintentionally opened the box, and I unintentionally put it on, and it was so damn nice that made me fall in the first glimpse. (yes, I finally able to fall in love in the first look…to a pair of shoes :P) So I decided to buy it and give the pair I bought the day before to a fren (sell it to be exact). This princess only cost $25 compared to the normal price of $115. Day two, total damage: $54. I was so broke, but I really really enjoyed my first encounter of the wild and exciting world of sale freaks :D.
