Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten

So, it's the new decade already. 2010.

Ten years ago, I was 16 going on 17, the final year of my high school life. Sweet memories, as always.

However, we look back to our past, so that we know what have we missed, which turns have we wrongly made, what made us who we are now, and try and try and keep trying to be a better person as a whole.

There are so many quotes and sayings about "the past" which I am more than generous to share with you. Click HERE, and type "Past Quotes" in the Search Box, and there you go.

Today I want to share 10 categories of the decade. Here are the lists:

And, the list was made based on the consistency of these babes being nominated in Maxim’s Hot 100, AskMen.com’s Top 99 Women, and FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World. Now that's mathematics!

*******

I'm kinda satisfied with the lists. They were all not entirely that bad, personally. It's not easy to choose from thousands of lists and actually make sense to me. You see, those lists were selected based on my personal opinions from different sources, safe to say from trusted sources, hence I put the source link so that you guys can compare to your lists (if you have one), even better from other sources. Perbezaan itu hikmah. I have to agree that a few categories were slightly biased (if not more), but I couldn't find a better list to top the one that I posted. Nevertheless, it's a good sharing.

So what about the categories?

Again, I can easily picked any Top 10's of the decade, but I personally chose those nine categories (apart from the tenth) because that's what I enjoy in my life. Music, films, art, sneakers, women, fashion/trend, books, cars, and sports. I wanted to squeeze in another category, which is "Top 10 Holiday Spots of the Decade" but I have no idea. I'll just leave it at that for now.

So what about you guys? Do you have any lists of the decade?

Just on the lighter note, in honoring the title of this entry:

Dem yuh!

Heart Complication

No, no one is dying or being admitted or anything. All is well.

I wanted to write about something rather interesting.

It's about a book.

Guess if the person on the cover is me?

It's called Komplikasi Hati by cikbubi.

What's cooking about this book? You really wanna know? Alright. The book is about ME. I'm not joking.

I received this book from the author which I met a few weeks ago, and I read it.

It was written based on a true story of me, well at least from the author's side of understanding because obviously I have my own side of story. To be more precise, it's about a girl and I, and a love affair that went on for about six months until I realized it's not working out, and everything became bitter for her after that. Basically it's journal kinda novel.

I feel flattered. I do. I don't really bother if it's written about me in a good or the opposite way, obviously because I have my own side of story. I mean, the author could be wrong all over, but that's not the point. My point is, what are the chances of someone writes about you, and publish it? A book.

To cikbubi, thank you very much for spending time compiling and writing, and eventually published it. I am so sorry it didn't work out between us. Such is life.

I'll not curse on my book.

All in the midst of flu.

Hopefully my flu will not have anything to do with the swine flu. I mean it. It's not funny okay. Even though I believe a few or some people want me dead. Well, too bad, not just yet haters! Ha ha..

I am so lazy to write nowadays, maybe because I am in the mood of reading. Speaking of which, I've finished reading two books. The first one:

Drunken dog

It's called The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night-Time by Mark Haddon. This book is the winner for 2003 Whitbread Awards (it is called Costa Book Awards since 2006), it's about a teenager by the name of Christopher Boone, who is autistic but he has a superbly logical brain. I won't say anything else. You should read this. No, you MUST.

Second book:

One day is more than enough

It's called For One More Day by Mitch Albom. He is the author for I think another six books including Tuesdays with Morrie and Five People You Meet in Heaven. In the book I read, it tells the story of a retired baseball player named Charley "Chick" Benetto, who tried to take his own life due to his frustration over his miserable life. This is one sad story, not really my cup of tea but it's still really good and not too long. (Both books are around 200 pages)

And, lastly I found something when I was cleaning up my room. For that, I have something to say.

Some get it, some don't. Some will, some won't.
Those that do, do. Those that don't, don't.

Twenty passed five

All in the midst of flu.


Dem yuh!
