GLAM - May 2005 issue On this month's issue of Glam, we spoke to one of the hottest persons in town and what's been keeping this princess occupied lately. Our Jennifer Yeo checks on our very own Princess Dac to have the quick updates on her life so far...
Glam: So Dac, what's been keeping you busy so far?
Dac: Erm well u know work has been very routined and its something that's been keeping me busy throughout the week. And over the weekends, i'd do my quick shoppings and hang out with my loved ones. Amazingly, i didnt have much time left after all that! lol*
Glam: I heard that you've been given an offer to do abit of acting. Tell us more about that.
Dac: Oh.. apparently some of the lawyers i'm working with happen to be in the entertainment industry, we discuss over lunch about these matters, and i happen to blurt out to them that i'd love to try acting. Some days later, i received a call from one of the executive producers from Mediacorp Ch5 who offered me to do an upcoming drama on Ch5. I'm very much excited about it, but we've yet to discuss further on the details. So.. yah.
Glam: Interesting! talking about dramas, any favourites?
Dac: Yah, i'm such a drama person.. who doesnt adore Desperate housewives?! haha.. i love such shows, abit of CSI when i happen to get bored on Tuesday nights. I was a big fan of Ally Mcbeal when they're showing that show donkey yrs back, and i still am.
Glam: Desperate Housewives, any character in particular who's in your fav list?
Dac: Bree Van de Kamp. Everytime i watch the show, i look forward to see her copperfied smooth hairdo! she's got the i'm-up-to-smth-but-oh-its-nothing! look, which is forever interesting!! However i relate better to Susan Mayer for few reasons. One of which, she's got all the Mike she needs!! LoL*
Glam: In the real world, who's the person who inspires you most and when comes to decision making?
Dac: Definitely the wise woman of the households. Mom has been there to give me the constant repetitive advice i need. However, should my problem be more of a guy-related issue, my lovely girlfrens are always the best at that! haha
Glam: Nice to hear that. What's the future like for you?
Dac: I'm happy with what i'm at right now. Yet to pen down my route to 40. Hope to do a degree in law and get settle down with someone amazing. Till i find "him", i'd be busy with what i'm at now. I just started working so from where i'm standing, the path is still misty for me. So i guess i'll hang on for awhile till the fog subsides. GLAM.

+ Remind Me..
Life has its own way of changing things, when we least expect it. Constantine's departure from the Idol show has indeed shocked many, leaving them feeling distraught and confused. To Aththa: Cry no more, my friend. There's always a reason as to why he had to leave. To Awin: May his song linger in our hearts always. Love his version of nickelback's song.. sigh* This is how you remind me of what i really am..
"Hi Deynaa, don't get caught up pondering about things ok. The shorthairs are just a call away. Hi Dip, hope you're doin fine with school. Sure is tough, but i've faith in u, and tt you'll do well. Hi Azlin, thanks for teaching me a thing or two abt uploading of songs! hehe.. remind me of our computer tutorials.. Hi Nizam, hope your problem with the overseas posting thing will be settled soon. Oh and what were u doing last night? (haha). Hi Nasha, your birthday present is still with me, can? Hi Idra, stop blogging and go do your homework."

Least there's something for me to fall in love with. Sisqo's Incomplete.
Bright lights
Fancy restaurants
Everything in this world that a man could want
Got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
Still I'm lonely now
Pretty faces from the covers of the magazines
From their covers to my covers wanna lay with me
Fame and fortune still can't find
Just a grown man runnin out of time
Chorus
Even though it seems I have everything
I don't wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women
All the expensive cars
All of the money don't amount to you
I can make believe I have everything
But I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Your perfume, Your sexy lingerie
Girl I remember it just like it was on yesterday
A Thursday you told me you had fallen in love
I wasn't sure that I was
It's been a year
Winter summer spring and fall
But bein without you just ain't livin ain't nothing at all
If I could travel back in time
I'd relive the days you were mine
Chorus
I just can't help lovin you
But I loved you much too late
I'd give anything
And everything
To hear you say that you'll stay
Without you girl
My life is incomplete...

+ Greetings...
Finished my chores by 2330hrs. Decide to head online and do some chattin with my dearest friends. Logged on to Friendster and began reading my msges in the Inbox. Msges from February 2004 onwards. The first few moments of being a 'member' was quite a cheap thrill for me. As exciting as i was to meet my ol' friends from primary school.. was even more excited to keep in touch with the fashion sense of my sec school mates, needless would i expect to meet up with my first crush online too. I jumped for joy and in great exhilaration, i called up D and Awin and updated them on my latest discovery. Was skimming through all the msges. Loads of exclaimation marks in most. Then i came across this one. I settled down to read it over and over again.
"You may hear nothing from me on how i appreciate you, but beyond that silence, your warmth creates a beautiful sound in my heart. - Love, J*"
Yup, i smiled. And melted a little. Seconds later i froze after realising tt those were just words that makes up a sentence.. and theres nothing more to that..

+ Simple Life +
Dad's a very laid back person. Not much of a risk taker nor does he possess much of the ambitiousness. He's got an unpredictable mood swing, which i believe part of it contributes to my weirdness at some point. Above it all, he's a funny man. Very underground person with a dashing smile. Only 40yrold spinsters would easily fall for his smile.. hmm.. yup. i know of a few. At times i think of how my mom and my dad end up marryin each other. They're definitely world's apart. Differ in hobbies and song selections. One thing for sure is they've always been very respectable towards each other and their level of commitment towards the family is very evident. Mom voices out her opinion whenever she finds the chance to. Well dad keeps quiet and smile. Both care sooo much for their kids, and we know that. When it comes to religion, its them i find solace in and to clear out my doubts.. for i know they've taught me well. Its been a week since mom left. We're all doing well at home. Haekal's been very helpful and so is Idra. Not forgetting dad, who never fail to feed us with gd takeaways! *snorts* Yup okayyy i'll tryyyy to get myself down on cooking for the family. I just need some inspiration in order for that to take effect.. and so far, Jamie Oliver's soul is nowhere near!!

Secret #1: Deepen Trust
Why Trust Matters
Why Trust Matters
Trust is the cornerstone of a healthy, deeply satisfying marriage. In a trusting relationship, partners are, quite simply, honest with each other. Their words and actions are not shadowed by deceit; they don't sacrifice a partner's needs for their own, or pursue their own goals at the expense of the mate's. Most important, they make a total commitment to each other, a commitment that helps each feel emotionally nourished, comforted, and supported. In fact, over the lifetime of a marriage, couples consistently report that trust is the single most important marker of lasting happiness.

+ The Tuesday
Tuesday mornings. I dread tuesday mornings. I didnt have anything to wear. Tho the Mng top's new, i still looked old. so, i hate my tuesday morning.
Moving on.. i had an awwwweeeesome lunch today! with the poshly insane lawyers and secretaries of the D&N's tax team @ Siam Kitchen. I can still taste the aromatic scent of ze~ tomyamsoup. (*daze) Food's goooood. My stomach bloats inches each time i walk. Good thing i come under "Petite Wear", the hideous flabs went unnoticed. All 15 of us had a great 2 hr lunch. And for a min there i was about to cheek-to-cheek all of them and say, "Okayy then.. guess i'll see u guys tmr! *burp*". Nope. That didnt happen. Sheeshness.
On my way home today, called Mom to see if she's ok. The reception's not good. As if the bulb in our mobiles kept flickering and i can feel a lizard crawling up my ear. Glad shes doing ok. Told her its gonna take a while for her to adjust to the standards there. Dad cleaned the house today! good good. Oh and he laundry-ed too! So.. no laundry for me today!! haha. That means i've got more time to sweep, wipe, dishwash, iron, dust and mop. Yah. All.. that.....
Thx to Mae Ai, who can resist such an award!!

+ SQ 436
Everything seemed normal as we made out way down the familiar dim-litted corridor in the direction of our 5 room. This time around, mom's voice was no where heard and dad started talking to the 3 of us. How all these happened, only God knows. We are just going through the motion of His plans. Part of me is loving the fact that i now take charge of the household. Another part is just unsure as to whether i'm doing it right or not. I've made plans. Talked to him yesterday, said i'd love to do some charity work and take up some cooking classes. Yea. Sounds frightening. But its something i hope to do for now.
As many would wonder, my love life has been an unexplainable theory. He was introduced to my family & relatives yesterday. Mom enjoyed his company and was hoping that he'd be there. Yup, i was nervous. But more like i didnt wanna get bothered about it. And the unexpected happened. Boy, i hate seeing them being comfortable with him. Those who hardly know us or ME in fact, would simply regard him as my fiance. How convenient. The name's Huda btway. I flipped la what else. Mom just smiled. Her face beamed "Jackpot!". Though my constant ah-soh whinings of "No!!! He's just a friend la!!" didnt do much help, i had not much of a choice but to maintain my cool and ensure tt my hair didnt sway out of place.
I believe the fact tt mom left the country, could probably be a form of blessing for me. One thing's for sure, i'm being more responsible now. and yup gettin the hang of doing chores. For all i know, i'm already starting a crash course on "how to prepare myself for marriage life".

+ HIRED
Took leave from work for dua days!! (*evil laugh) Thought i'd spend time with my mom before she leaves this Shuunday.. and of course, last min shopping!!
How's my day today.....
At 8am, mom slapped me in the face. I woke up in fear. Thought the earth's moving. Begged her for another hr.. making weird believable excuses that my cramps controlling the brain. She said ok. An hr later, woke up and licked myself clean. Put on some going-out clothes and flagged the cab. Momma had ta get her "travellers sm'n sm'n" jab at Tan Tock Seng. For a while there i inspired to be a nurse. Thats hot. Had breakfast at the hospital's food court and as usual i fail to finish my food. I think the auntie sitting by the corner, holding the moist wiper is still swearing me for that. Isnt she lovely...
Next we took the MRT to Orchard. Blaahh!! i'm sooo tired. Momma can be quite da fickledalic when it comes to handbags. We have completely diff taste in bags, thats for sure! Finally she got a handbag, pair of new shoes, 2 new tops and pants for herself. Me? I got myself a Big Gulp.
Then she wanted to get some bajus.. so we went to Arab Street. Hot la seh!! the weather.. che che che. If not for the surplus of taxis around, think we'd look like sunrasia's dry prunes by now. She spent a thousand bucks on 4 kebayas and 5 scarfs. (*sigh) and i thought i was the worst in the family when it comes to shopping.
And for the grand finale, the house Brat (my sister, Idra that is) later requested for Fish & Chips. BrattilyBrattilyBrat. And yeah. looks like she just finished her food. And ok now..now.. she's looking through my magazines for a new haircut. Sheeshh.. wonder where she got all that vanity from...

Dearest,
To think that i was at fault in the r/ship, that i didnt know how to appreciate him, nor do i ever made him happy.. eventually the truth surfaced right before me.
We broke up. Yes we did. That was 3 wks ago. And the hurt i felt then can never be compared to what i'm feeling now as i learn the truth, 3 weeks later.
We broke up. Yes we did. That was 3 wks ago. And the hurt i felt then can never be compared to what i'm feeling now as i learn the truth, 3 weeks later.
I never saw this coming. He, whom i honestly appreciated and looked upon for advice.. lied his way through. I thought walking straight and think less was the best antidote in life. But then i forgot to turn back and look at what is really happening behind me. This shall be hard. Though i shall not let this prevent me from happiness that has yet to greet me with open arms.
Mom's leaving soon. I smile as i think about how happy she is about this overseas posting, but i can't seem to stop my heart from crying. I've never wanted her to know how i feel. Bet its gonna take a while for me as i'll keep her in my prayers always. For she has given me so much strength to go through this and I'm glad she's here now to help me out. That's some love i'd never trade anything for. To my beloved friends who knew about this, thank you for being there to hear me. I greatly appreciate it.
As i have always believed, there's a reason to everything. I'm still finding out why did this happened. And why wouldnt he tell me the truth. Then again, we know truth hurts. But having to find out the truth on my own, i can never explain how i felt.
He apologises. I said "you dont have to". Someone, somewhere.. might be feeling hurt, the same way as i am right now. Guess we have to keep on walking for now. Hopefully things will be better for me as i leave this chapter behind.
Huda..

+ How Ass-tonishing!!
Slept @ 4am in the morning yesterday. Had an impooortant matter to discuss over the phone with a friend. *snorts* thereafter i fell into a deep drool-less sleep.. dreamt abt B and G. geez. and i felt emotional after that. what seh.
Had a few missed calls yesterday night, while hangin out with d, ct & win. To those who called, sorry, I dont know whether to blame it on the phone or on my gd sense of hearing.
Can someone make me laugh? i feel soo dumb now. My gaffer was sayn that i'm lookin really tired and restless lately. I didnt know what or how to answer her.
"Huda, why dyou look tired now? You weren't like this when u first started" errr... should i even say i'm like this becos i'm working? PEEETTT!! wrong answer, i thot. So i mentioned abt my lowerback. Had probs abt it a few weeks back. Said that my tiredness was probably due to it. "I see. You! better be careful! at your age, and having back problems! you better do more exercise! wake up early in the morning, go for an hr of morning walks before you go to work!"

Theirs Truly...
Is this the end... I really dont have a clue. what happen to the Smiths!!!!! Where have all the Smith Men goooneee... My first headshot was when Brian & Greg Smith, the brothers with baggy burms and kinky boxer shorts, got eliminated from the Amazing Race (in style, mind u). That was sad. Absolutely. No Jennifer Aniston trying to grab the Heineken Beer and Brian Smith stealing it from her scene. "So Happy together....!"The other Smith? Yeah Nikko. he's gone.. from the Idol show that is. I'm sooo INCOMPLETE right now. damn. Honestly, i've lost the idol vibe after that. Shitless.

So monday it is. I had to endure stinkingsmellybusok stench of this chinese man in hotpants seated beside me in the bus, on the way to kembangan stn. I was contemplating as to whether its SHIT smell or SHIT smell. And the smell comes and go, following the speed of the airconditioned bus. I faint the moment the driver hit the wheels.
Ever so quickly i rushed to the door, trying to maintain the look on my face. Board the train, and i had to endure a chimpanzee-fied sight. A couple hanging onto each other. So now its Jack and Rose. Thanks. And yes, Celine won manymany awards for the Best Song "My Heart Will Go On" once upon a time. (*applause)
So now i'm in the office. Time blinks 1516 hrs. Just a couple of hrs, dac... Be patient my child.
