Citrus Hotel, JB

Dah lama nak buat entry JB trip tapi asyik tak jadi je..So today nak review sikit pasal hotel yang kitorang duduk masa kat jb dulu, Citrus Hotel. Firstly, nak booking hotel ni memang senang, boleh p kat website diorang n terus book. Can look up for their promotions. Masa kitorang book tu ade early bird price. For a family room with a queen size bed and a single bed, dpt rm175 per night. Stayed there for 2 nights, dah plus2 tax total up to RM360. The reason pilih hotel ni sebab tgk kat website tu nampak sgt menarik. Dia punya interior design sgt modern n chic.
Some pics grabbed from the site:

Bring It All Back

A song by S Club 7 to boost up energy when I'm about to give up on something..

Bring it all back now

Don't stop, never give up

Hold your head high and reach the top

Let the world see what you have got

Bring it all back to you 

Hold on to what you try to be

Your individuality

When the world is on your shoulders

Just smile and let it go

If people try to put you down

Just walk on by don't turn around

You only have to answer to yourself 

Don't you know it's true what they say

That life, it ain't easy

But your time's coming around

So don't you stop tryin' 

Don't stop, never give up

Hold your head high and reach the top

Let the world see what you have got

Bring it all back to you

Dream of falling in love

Anything you've been thinking of

When the world seems to get too tough

Bring it all back to you

Na na na na.. 

Try not to worry 'bout a thing

Enjoy the good times life can bring

Keep it all inside you

Gotta let the feeling show

Imagination is the key

'Cos you are you're own destiny

You never should be lonely

When time is on your side 

Don't you know it's true what they say

Things are sent to try you

But your time's coming around

So don't you stop tryin' 

Don't stop, never give up

Hold your head high and reach the top

Let the world see what you have got

Bring it all back to you

Dream of falling in love

Anything you've been thinking of

When the world seems to get too tough

Bring it all back to you

Hart of Dixie

ade skali tu sharer kat uni aku ni lama sgt x update2 favorite tv series..so, cari2 la crita lain yg boleh tgk..try download one episode of Hart of Dixie..melayan la during the weekend..mula2 layan sebab aku suka kalau Rachel Bilson yg berlakon..dia jadi doctor yg berhijrah dari Manhattan to Bluebell, Alabama..lepas layan satu episode, rasa cam best je..so terus la melayan..tapi aku lebih suka Lemon Breeland, acted by Jaime King..suka dia punya character; her perkiness and bossiness..aku suka juga her outfits in each episode; vintage n cantik2 semua..sometimes i'll go like "oooh i want that trousers..i want that blouse..that skirts!"..bestnye baju2 dia..hehe..

nak tau crita ni pasal ape, p la tgk sendiri..hehe..some pics utk hiasan....

di komuter....

masa naik komuter tadi, ada sepasang suami isteri Indonesians masuk dlm koc wanita..ada org masuk check (mr A)..

mr A: encik, sila tukar koc..ini koc wanita..
si suami: encik (muka tertanya2), saya ada sijil nikah (tunjuk kat isteri di sebelah)..

nak tergelak besar aku time tu sebab org tu kelihatan sgt innocent bila ckp dia ada sijil nikah..muahahaha..nasib baik leh control lg tadi..

The Help

1st book of the year: The Help by Kathryn Stockett. On the first few pages, I almost put the novel down and find another because I felt like reading a trash since the language was kind of hard to understand. However, I forced myself reading more from this book. I started to familiarize with the African American's slang and imagining how the people talk in tv while reading Aibileen's and Minny's chapters. Then it was hard to put it down. Thus, I managed to finish up reading this 444-page book in a month when it usually took me more than that to finish up a novel.

It was a story of how African American people, especially the helps, were treated in 1960s in Jackson, Mississipi. The story went around from the perspective of two characters of the helps, Aibileen, a motherly and calm person and Minny, sassy and a great cook; another character is a white woman, Skeeter, who wanted to make a change by writing the story about Aibileen and her friends. Every character is explained vividly in this book, and I could laugh my heart out or cry for some parts.

There's a film based on this book that scooped 3 awards at the Oscar and I'm sure looking forward to watch it.
