It's sad to be feeling this way but its real..
It's <3 breaking to say that we are drifting away but its the fact..
It's sad to be ask about you when i don't really know what should i answer..
It's really sad to actually realise we haven't been talking that much..
It's sad when i actually need someone to talk to but your no longer there..
I guess you think on not on your side in it but i actually am..just don't know how to let it out..
From time to time i do get news and stories about you but as you know I'm a quite person my self like you are..so i will just sit and wait till you think you are ready to tell me..

. YOU ME & QUOTES .
~If having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognise that every day won't be sunny. But when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So, don't be afraid to make mistakes. To stumble and fall. Coz, most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe, you'll get more than you ever could've imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long. And in the end, the journey is the destination.
~Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.
~Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken. Love alters not with time's brief hours and weeks, but bears it out, even to the edge of doom.And that's what true love really is. It's not this fairytale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love.it was said during a wedding from a bestfriend to another bestfriend.
My fav off all...
"I don't think there's anything more tragic than bad timing...everything's right and then circumstances beyond your control are wrong...everything you want is right there...but you can't touch it."

. MADNESS .
<3>
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two...

. TWO DAYS AND COUNTING .
. MARY QUEEN OF SHOPS .
Mary Queen of Shops is a British television series presented by Mary Portas broadcast on BBC2. The series began with a four week run starting on 7 June 2007, and returned for a second series of six episodes beginning on 9 June 2008. A third three-part series, titled Mary Queen of Charity Shops, began on 2 June 2009. The show returned for a fourth series on 7 June 2010, featuring various independent shops, rather than just fashion boutiques.
In each episode, Mary Portas troubleshoots her way around the UK on a mission to help turn around struggling fashion boutiques. Mary is a leading retail communications expert and is the founder and creative director of Yellowdoor.
Her aim is to turn the businesses around and put the glamour and sex appeal back into shopping.
First, she visits the boutiques while the owners are away. Then she revamps them, gets the shop owners right up-to-date and hopefully helps them to start making money again.
Mary Queen of Shops premiered in the United States on 14 August 2009 on BBC America
Personal life
Portas is bisexual. She was married to chemical engineer and Unilever executive Graham for 14 years and they have two children: son Mylo and daughter Verity.[2] Portas now lives with Grazia magazine fashion features editor Melanie Rickey in Maida Vale with her children, after an amicable divorce from her husband,[3] with a civil partnership imminent.[9]
She spends her money on art, wine, theatre and chocolate; enjoys gardening.
Career
Mary first started her career in retail by having a saturday job in John Lewis (department store). She then had a part-time, and later a full-time, job with Harrods where she was responsible for window displays for about three years,[2] before joining TopShop as display manager where she was spotted by Burton Group chairman Sir Ralph Halpern.[4]
Portas is credited with turning Harvey Nichols into a leading modern fashion brand.[5] She created the Harvey Nichols show windows that became part of the guided tours of London — one of her most famous displays was of mocked-up pop bands, including Gary Glitter.[3] She then persuaded the store's owners to use younger designers; and got free publicity in the BBC’s Absolutely Fabulous series in the 1990s, after promising writer and star of the show Jennifer Saunders, the run of the store for research if she namechecked the business.[6] Portas joined the company board before the age of 30, after taking Harvey Nichols from being a dowager of retail to the favourite shop for fashionable women, including Diana, Princess of Wales.
Portas left Harvey Nichols to launch Yellowdoor, a communications agency that she now runs with Peter Cross. Portas is Creative Director and Cross is Managing Director. Yellowdoor advises clients in fashion, retail, and beauty brands on PR, Communications Strategy and marketing.
Portas is claimed to be one of the UK's foremost authorities on retail and brand communication.[5] She regularly travels around the world advising on retail strategy and frequently lectures on the theme of brands and retail.
On 19 June 2009, in a ceremony at Galashiels, Heriot-Watt University awarded Portas a Doctorate of Letters in recognition of her career and her contribution to the advancement of marketing and brand communications within the retail sector.

. PROUD TO BE MALAYSIAN .
Was watching a show on BBC lifestyle and was really shock to know there is a malaysia born designer who is actually famous in London. This is actually my 1st time hearing his name.
Designer profile: Hassan Abdullah
Hassan Abdullah has not look back since he ditched a potential career in law and studied interior design instead. His talent for finding eclectic antiques and his taste for the unusual and exotic soon found him in hot demand as an interior designer.
His co-owners in Les Trois Garcons, Annex 3 and Loungelover are French former-chef, Michel Lasserre and Swedish former-maitre d', Stefan Karlson. They met through their love of antiques and were soon outraging the staid stallholders of Camden Market with their savvy and their easy way of networking with clients such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Donna Karan.
Then, in 1996, the three friends bought a three-story, former pub on the Corner of Club Row, mainly as a design project for them to get their teeth into, with Hassan at the helm filling the rooms with stunning antiques - and the floodgates were open.
The first restaurant - Les Trois Garcons - opened in late 2000, with Loungelover following in 2003 and Annex 3 in 2005. Since then, Hassan has taken on a variety of clients - recently he was responsible for designing the Evisu concession at Selfridges and is due to work on one of Philippe Starck's French homes as well as fulfilling a commission for Liberty.

. Little House .
love this place
But it's haunted without you
My tired heart
Is beating so slow
Our hearts sing less
Than we wanted
We wanted
Our hearts sing 'cause
We do not know
we do not know
To light the night
To help us grow
To help us grow
It is not said
I always know
You can catch me
Don't you run
Don't you run
If you live another day
In this happy little house
The fire's here to stay
To light the night
To help us grow
To help us grow
It is not said
I always know
Please don't make a fuss
It won't go away
The wonder of it all
The wonder that I made
I am here to stay
I am here to stay

. We’re losing heritage buildings .
I was looking through the new and found this interesting write up.Totaly agree with this.
DRIVING past Kuala Lumpur’s old railway station recently, I noticed a high-rise building taking shape right across the street from the famous heritage structure and casting a long shadow over its romantic Moorish turrets.
Later on, I found out that this was just a glimpse of the things to come, as the entire locale of the station and the historic KTM Bhd offices next door is slated for development.
It is also by no means the only national monument becoming crowded out by aggressive construction. It seems that every time I take a trip to Gombak, another portion of the once-stunning vista towards Batu Caves has been obstructed by massive housing complexes and office blocks.
Within a few years, the caves themselves, and the majestically rising chunk of the Titiwangsa Range they are carved into, may become invisible to visitors, hidden behind a jumble of new buildings.
I note this trend with anxiety because it is my understanding that the 2005 National Heritage Act gives DBKL the legal tools to restrict development within a radius of 200m from gazetted national monuments. Furthermore, the National Physical Plan gives preference to low-density development.
Yet our urban centres seem to be turning into little cousins of land-starved Hong Kong or Singapore where every square foot of land has to earn its keep – a preposterous notion, considering the land bank that is available to us in Peninsular Malaysia.
The construction boom of the 1970s and 1980s left us with more than its fair share of brutal, megalomaniac architecture. Our iconic landmarks such as Masjid Jamek and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building have crouched underneath grey banking behemoths ever since.
Today, the Malaysia Tourism Centre in Jalan Ampang is all that remains of Kuala Lumpur’s once glamorous Millionaires’ Row, a marriage of Belle Époque opulence with our tropical living.
As of a few months ago, the Pudu Jail is no more, and further monuments are awaiting “redevelopment”.
With the benefit of hindsight, our generation should know better than to overshadow, or worse, actively erase, what is left of our history and heritage. We like to use the word “world-class” – how about we take a glance at urban planning in places like Paris, Boston or Melbourne?
There must be good reasons that their landmarks are not eclipsed by an onslaught of new projects. High-rise construction has been practically a taboo in downtown Paris – after all, why spoil a good thing? In Moscow’s sprawling Kremlin complex, the addition in the 1960s of a (low-rise) modern theatre building sparked national outrage.
I wonder if the KL authorities keep an architect on their payroll. Someone looking after the coherence of the city’s look and feel; protecting our greenery, open spaces, and that elusive sense of genius loci (spirit, or soul, of a place); and implementing best practices undertaken by other world-class cities.

. PUDU JAIL TORN DOWN .
KUALA LUMPUR: Demolition work on part of the Pudu Jail wall finally began Monday night when an excavator started tearing down the ancient structure.
The tearing down of the wall began from inside the prison area at about 10.20pm and onlookers who had gathered started taking photographs to capture the historic moment.
A City Hall worker said the demolition would end on Thursday.
Plastic barriers will be put up along the demolition site while Jalan Pudu would be closed from 10pm until 5am during the four days.
The 4.5m high wall had once set a record for the longest mural in the world (384m). It is being torn down to make way for a road-widening project, including the construction of an underpass.
The prison stopped operating in 1996 when the building could no longer cater to the high volume of up to 6,550 people at a time since 1985 and prisoners were subsequently shifted to the Sungai Buloh Prison, 36km from here.
By The Star.
Its really shame full that the Malaysia Government dont really see this place as a historic place. This would be a huge tourism attraction in future. Well even it would be HUGE now if they refurbish and maintain the place.
It have been there for more the one century old and younger generation should actually get to know about the history. Many story and history was actually build behind those walls and now its all gone. Imagine a huge empty land where once famous criminals was in, where they spend most of their life.
Tearing it down will mean forgetting our heritage and history.Don't you think this is part of Kuala Lumpur’s history and should be preserved.Citing the examples of Berlin Wall and also Alcatraz where an imposing prison was once located, he said the former had parts of its wall remaining, while the island was now a famous tourist spot.
Why cant Malaysia take them as an example?? Pudu jail is worth preserving as there are not many 115-year-old buildings around.The 270m-long mural, depicting a tropical landscape, was painted by three prisoners in 1983, who spent more than 1,000 hours to complete it. Don't you think they should actually keep this as something special??
With all this torn down, i can assure you younger generation wont even have a clue when the older generation bring up Pudu Jail.
