Prada’s handphone???

Prada’s inventing its very own handphone…

recently 19.01.2007, it have been officially annouched that Prada would now have its very own handphone…hhmmm… to be honest, im not sure how this going to work?? as we all know Prada is one of the most expensive brands in the global market, with the same range as Gucci,Burberry,LV and so on… and right now it is competing with Nokia,SonyEricsson,iPhone,O2 and others…how successful could they be???

In my head, all i could imagine is that the programs/applications of this phone would be full of design clothes/handbags/watches…its even a pda…what excatly would be the special features of this phone??? i dont know…to be honest i cant believe that Prada is now inventing its very own phone…does this mean that the salesworkers now have to own one???and how much would it cost???would it be expensive as their clothes?starting range from 1K???

Why would Prada decide to invent its own phone???ok…to b honest i love the quality of their designs but its just totally dull…but the cutting of their products and the material are very smooth…i liking… but its just that ‘no outstanding design’ were given to their product…unlike LV,Burberry,Dior..and at the moment COACH at least these brands are making an effort to really design their products in order to outstand their brand name…(*ps: this is entirely my opinion people*) maybe Prada are actually diversifying their brand name by inventing Prada’s phone…who knows…

Week of Leisure…

guy problem alert!!!…

its 5.31am at da moment… jst got off the phone with my best frenz R, had a long discussion abt sme1 in particular…and somehw he tot abt my ‘never-ending story’ wif this other sme1… and combining both of them i end up crying…its been awhile tat i actually cry for sme1, n the longest time i ever cried for sme1 was this ‘N-Es’ person, bt nw this particular sme1 jst make me cry out of nowhere =S eventhough he doesnt make my heart beat faster or make me have butterflies in my stomach…but once i told R that i decide to cool off with ds particular sme1, i jst cried… wierd… i think my period is acting up again… one of the symptoms, being too sensitive,cranky,backpains and other stuffs…bt usually i wld end up crying for nothing n backpains…few days ago i delete the X’s msgs…n put sme1’s msgs in a folder(a 1st for me) n reading back the Xs msgs, didnt make me sad or cry…i jst read it n deleted it… usually if i were to read ‘N-Es’ msgs i would cry,bt the X’s didnt make me weep…n ds particular sme1 whom im currently in-contact wif, im too scared to lose him n too scared to go forward with (btw: i duno whether he likes me or not) so yeah…im kindda in da rocky situation whether too msg him or not… n im jst scared tat i end up lossing him oso eventhough we both havent started to get to know each other really well…

anyway…enuff of my weird drama queen situation…beginning of the week until last saturday have been the greatest days… get to hang out wif A [afta days of her dissapearing n oso she got her 1st pay-check=)]n finally afta months and months i saw my old frenz W it was jst a surprise to meet him…got to hang out with him n chitchat n even meet up wif A.B, saw all most of MDs guy frenz while they were playing footie [E,Q,H,Bee,J,Yea2,B.R and others] hang out with my old frenz G,who i went out wif for shisha(sp?) and damn i was high…hahaha.. it was just so hilarious that i was laughing non-stop…everything that G say i keep on laughing.. until he had to send me off to UBD so tat R would accompany me when i pick my car at gdg bt at the end, i did end up picking my car, n tat particular sme1 was there at UBD =S…so i didnt know whether i blew my chances with him (oopss..here i am again ranting abt my drama queen situation)

oh yeah… we had steamboat for dinner again!!! at least this time it is for year 2007!!!it was to da delicious, n W was there when we had our dinner n he tag along eating some of the crumbs… he sure still looks the same, sigghh.. i missed my life in MD…when i meet all my friends everyday…now most of them are workings, others still studying overseas and so forth…life is totally different… but still glad that we all still chitchat once in awhile….

i know my family have been pissed at me…cos by early or late afternoon i would dissapear and not show up until its 10pm (my curfew nowadays – due to the raining seasons) which sucks…but whenever the siblings msgs, i have to head back home =S…no questions asked n no more lying n jst hope they wont bug me with my unavailableness at home….(if there is such a word as ‘unavailableness’) but hey…its a rare occasion when u get to meet up all ure old mates n still click with them even afta months of not contacting one another… n later at 1 another old frenz of mine who just got back from KL wants to meet up…hope there’s no family stuff that i have to do so that i can hang out with her…. well…i guess im off to bed again now….

P.S: Missings the birdies and the chickies… n tat particular sme1 =P

Petikan Ucapan Ustaz Hj Akil Hayy Rawa

Di dalam hidup manusia, yang penting ialah BERKAT.
 
Bila hidup kita berkat, diri ini akan selamat.

Apabila diri selamat, rumahtangga jadi sepakat.

Apabila rumahtangga jadi sepakat, masyarakat jadi muafakat.
  
  Apabila masyarakat jadi muafakat, negara kita menjadi kuat.
  
  Apabila negara menjadi kuat, negara luar jadi hormat.
  
  Apabila negara luar jadi hormat, permusuhan pun tersekat.
  
  Apabila permusuhan tersekat, pembangunan pun meningkat.
  
  Apabila pembangunan pun meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat.

TETAPI AWAS!
  
  Apabila pembangunan meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat, kita lihat bangunan naik
bertingkat-tingkat.

Ditengah-tengah itu, tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat.
  
  Apabila tempat-tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat, KETIKA ITU manusia mula mengubah tabiat.
  
  Apabila manusia telah mengubah tabiat, ada yang jadi lalat ada yang jadi ulat.

Apabila manusia dah jadi ulat, sembahyang makin hari makin liat.

Apabila sembahyang jadi liat, orang baik ada yang bertukar jadi jahat.

Apabila orang baik bertukar jahat, orang miskin pula nak kaya cepat.

Apabila orang miskin nak kaya cepat, orang tua pula nak mati lambat.

Apabila orang tua nak mati lambat, tak dapat minum madu telan jerla minyak gamat.

Yang lelaki, budak budak muda pakai seluar ketat.

Semua nak tunjuk kuat.

Bila berjudi, percaya unsur kurafat.

Tapi hidup pula yang melarat.

Tali kasut dah tak berikat.

Rambut pun jarang sikat.

Yang perempuan, pakai mini sekerat.

Suka pakai baju ketat.

Suka sangat menunjukkan pusat.

Hingga tak pedulikan lagi batasan aurat.

Pakai pulak yang singkat-singkat.

Kadang-kadang ternampak benda ‘bulat’.

Bila jadi macam ini, siapa lihat pasti tercegat.

Silap gaya jadi gawat, bohsia bohjan lagi hebat.

Duduk jauh berkirim surat.

Bila berjumpa, tangan berjabat.

Kemudian pakat lawan peluk siapa erat.

Masa tu, nafas naik sampai tersekat-sekat.

Usah peduli agama dan adat.

Usah takut Allah dan malaikat.

Yang penting apa kita nak buat?

Kita ‘bukti’ lah kita buat.

Akhirnya perut kempis dah jadi bulat.

Apabila perut kempis dah jadi bulat, maka lahirlah pula anak-anak yang tak cukup sifat.

Bila anak-anak tak cukup sifat, jam tu kita tengok bayi dibuang di merata tempat.

MAKNANYA KETIKA ITU, IBLIS MULA MELOMPAT.

Dia kata apa? Habis manusia dah masuk jerat.

Habis manusia telah tersesat.

Inilah dia fenomena masyarakat.

Oleh itu wahai saudaraku dan para sahabat,

Marilah kita pakat mengingat,

Bahawa dunia hari ini makin singkat,

Esok atau lusa mungkin kiamat,

Sampai masa kita semua akan berangkat! .

Berangkat menuju ke negeri akhirat.

Di sana kita akan ditanya apa yang kita buat.

Masa tu, sendiri mau ingat.

Umur mu banyak mana mu buat ibadat…?

Zaman muda mu, apa yang telah mu buat…?

Harta benda anta, dari mana anta dapat…?

Ilmu anta, adakah anta manafaat…?

Semoga ianya dapat mengingatkan kita supaya segera meninggalkan maksiat dan memperbanyakkan
ibadat.

(Petikan ucapan Ustaz Hj. Akil Hayy Rawa.
Sebarkanlah ini kepada ahli keluarga, saudara-mara, rakan-rakan dan sahabat handai kita agar
masyarakat kita akan menjadi sebuah masyarakat yang bukan sahaja maju dari segi duniawi malah
ukhrawi. Insya-Allah…)
