FINALLY

2008-05-19T21:56:00.003+08:00

The internet connection has been down and depressing!! I could only be logged onto my YM and Ares. The rest.. Kaput! When I open my browser, it displays Safari can't open the page. Those words drove me insane! I was forced to resort to Ippo. It's very useful in times like these but after a while it just gets far too painful. My poor eyes had to suffer! And that is exactly why there have not been an entry for quite a while.

There was a lot to write about actually. Well maybe. I just had a lot of things on my mind. Was dealing with some personal issues. Still dealing to be honest. I can only describe it in one word - ugly. I apologize from every inch of my being, to you know who you are.

This weekend has been tremendously great. 3 Pumps Days in a row!! Woohoo! I had a wonderful time sayang, thank you. :) (*screams* ALP!)

Aha, this is the part where I get weak and grumpy. Class is starting tomorrow!! Pfft.

I have not even had enough rest!! (haha riiight). Okay, well I still have not packed my last semesters books. They are still on the table! Oh maaan, now I have to wake up early!! Noooo... I am already used to waking up when the Sun is above my head. *grunts*

Lucky I am feeling rather sleepy now. It's 10pm!! Wow.

Wanted to write more since I've not written at all this past week but yaaaawn I'm gonna go make myself sleep or something. Class at 8.30! Oh buggah.

But ooohhhh I have Nigella Lawson's FEAST Cookbook! Yayyyy! Someone gave it to me as a present. =) He really knows how to make me glow with happiness! All the things he has done for me, the words he has said, the gifts, the love.. I feel very blessed. Have never been happier. :)))

Right, just as I was publishing this entry the connection fell sick again. aaaaaaaaaaaah......

- About 2 hours later.. I'm gonna click on PUBLISH POST. *hopeful*

Al Dente.

2008-04-23T23:48:00.008+08:00

Another paper tomorrow!

Have I studied? Yes.

Am I prepared? Yes.

Am I nervous? No.

I am actually very calm. Wow! I know tomorrow's exam is a potential distinction paper. Confident of me to say that! Maybe after all these Personal Development stuff I've been reading.

I just gotta say that I neeeeeed the grade!! I so so soooo do! I hope what I've done is enough. Good luck to me!

Guess what? Made my own lunch again today. Woohoo!

And pasta again. On a serious note, I could eat pasta every single day of my life! I have always preferred pasta than rice. Just shows how much I love Italian food. :) Love love love.

Today's pasta was different though. I used Angel Hair this time and made Pasta Con Tonno. That's tuna in english. I rummaged through the freezer but couldn't find any chicken or beef. Opened a cabinet and tada! Spicy tuna! Thought it would work with the Angel Hair and yeappp, it did!!

Before.

After.

Mmhmm..Mhmm..

My darling Izra picked me up tonight and took me to D.E for some catching up. We shared our happenings and I ordered Thosai as my dinner and now I am realizing that it is not enough to get me through the night. I am already hungryyyy!! Darno.

American Idol today was rather disappointing. By all means, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber is an amazing composer. His songs are exceptional! No surprise as to some of the contestants failed to wow me. Brooke for instant, I thought she sung the song well. Not great, unfortunately. It just wasn't Brooke and it might have caused her to lose her spot in the top 5. Waaaa... :(

However, Carly was amazing! Her take on Jesus Christ Superstar was fantastic!! Clap Clap!

I hope Jason will be eliminated. He's cute and all, but I just don't see him as an idol. Fans of Brooke, have mercy and vote for her pleaaase! (like anybody who could vote would read this, but I'm just trying my luck here!)

Woo! I am sooo very excited because I have these downloading as we speak.

1. One Tree Hill S05E14

2. Gossip Girl S01E14

3. Brothers & Sisters S02E13

It seems as if I have waited forever for GG and B&S! Finallyyy... yayyy! :)

Ooookay, Me. Need. Fooooooood.

Yes, I do!! I shall head to the kitchen right now. Taaa!

Happy Earth Day!

2008-04-23T02:00:00.009+08:00

In conjunction of Earth day (22nd of April), I wore green the whole entire day (and night!) Yeap, wearing green shorts at the moment. Aidi wore a green shirt, and Boyfriend wore green socks! :) Some cynical people would question the reason of wearing a specific color on Earth Day as it does not contribute anything whatsoever in the attempt of saving the world. Well in my opinion, the reason of this minor act is basically to remind ourselves about the earth. More of an awareness-act to acknowledge that we need more green in this world. That is just it. Similar to the pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness, the ONE wrist band for anti-poverty, HBO, MTV, yahoo and google's green-themed logo's, etc. The main purpose of those is to create awareness and hopefully will encourage positive actions.

For more information on how you could save the world, visit this website. Respect!

Moving on, today I woke up later than I initially wanted to. Way later! Poor Boyfriend had to call me 10 thousand times! He kept trying to wake me up since 9am. I was finally awaken around noon. I knew I had to study, but hey I was hungry. And I needed to do my laundry. 2 loads, naturally. So I carried my laundry basket with my notes, pencil and my phone stacked on top downstairs. Halfway down, my phone slipped and crashed onto the cold hard marble. Darno. Phone is injured, again. Anyway, I know I am the most lazy person in the whole entire world. I hate to go up and down the stairs so that is why I would grab everything I need at once to prevent me to do things twice. The consequences however, crash and burn.

Perhaps I'm not as lazy as I thought. I made my own lunch today! *pats myself on the back* Was hungry for some home-made food. Checked our inventory, took things out from here and there, decided to make Aglio Olio. Or at least that's what it is supposed to be called. Haha. Turned out fine, I liked it. Just how I always make it. Plus minus the availability of certain ingredients that is. All in all, it tasted good to my mouth and stomach and that is all that matters! :)

Nadia's Broc-shroom Conchiglie

My day continued with some reading and a headache attacked me in the evening. Retired to my bed, but Oh boy, was that a mistake! I had the most horrifying possible dream! A total nightmare! Drastic! I woke up crying. Literally. Not going into details here as I do not want to remind myself about it. Hard to let it go though because in that dream (nightmare!), I lost someone I truly loved. Sobs. What started out as a minor dizziness ended as a major headache!!

Nenek's voice is heard here "Siapa suruh tidur time Maghrib?"

The night consisted of visiting the Gramps and buying dinner. Ate my dinner, which was a massive portion of rice! That is a recipe for disaster I tell ya. One thing about me, I cannot eat rice without feeling sleepy afterwards. Rice = Snooze. Friends are aware of that. Someone even offered to tie a pillow on his arm every time we eat rice so I could have a soft landing. lol.

After dinner, I locked myself in my room. Started reading, some interruptions now and then but that is normal eh? Hee. Felt the rice effect, instantly went down to make myself a cup of coffee. Gulped it down and continued my reading. Read read read until I got bored so I began writing this entry.

And now I am ending it. It is time to get back to Personal Development! Something I truly need, don't I? Haha.

Last words, GO GREEN!

Achtung!

2008-04-21T00:08:00.000+08:00

10 more minutes to 12am! 21st of April 2008.

Definition : EXAMS. (wish me buckets of luck!)

Oh yess, final exams are here. It is here!! How time just accelerated throughout this semester. I feel as though I just started my 2nd year last week!! Oh noo.. This is the END of my 2nd year and in July, I would be moving on to my 3rd and FINAL YEAR. Is that right? Really? OMG.

I am really truly honestly most definitely looking forward to finish this whole thing that most people call a Bachelors Degree. Yep. I cannot wait! Why you ask? Because I have my whole life planned out before me. I can see it, I can feel it, I believe in it!

I do have certain things up my sleeve. :) :) :)

I know what I am going to do after this UiTM-life. I am going to reach the peak, I am going to make my dreams come true!! I really am! Trust me on that.

This is my motivation. ;)

*fingers AND toes crossed*

That was the first I heard of a Zaim. Noticed the date? Exactly ONE year ago.

I am not going to tell you a story of a boy meets girl and fell in love yada yada and lived happily ever after. This is no ordinary fairytale. It is extraordinary in every way. :)

It all began there, from that message. I usually ignore pick-up lines but somehow I had a voice telling me that this one is different. This one had meaning. So I did. I replied on the next day.. I mean, if I replied straight away then it would seem as though I was desperate right? Haha. But I did reply.

The ice-breaking session commenced. Within a few days the IM's began, IM's lead to SMSes, SMSes continued to phone calls. Keeping this short, at a certain point during those times he had me. He really had me. There was just something in him that kept me attached.

Months passed before we finally laid our eyes on each other. Our first meeting was pretty much wonderful. It was wonderful. I was nervous as hell before I met him, overjoyed after. So you think our love began to bloom from here. Well I am afraid to say that you are wrong.

I honestly cannot say that we started off great, rocky roads as a matter of fact. Better soon than later right? Those 'incidents' occurred simply for the purpose of making us stronger. I definitely believe in that. Just take a look at us now.

We really synced after a couple of months after we met. And been connecting since then. Our connection is indescribable. There is a lot I have learnt from him and I hope I have taught him a thing or two as well. Hee. Thank you. I never thought something like this exists. He planted this new-found faith in me. Thanks again.

These past several months have been great. great. GREAT. The times we shared is filled with laughter and joy. Happiness has a whole new meaning to me. You. Make. Me. Happy. Happy beyond words.

Today was perfect. That is all I could say. We both know that we have a lot to learn, a life to live, our own personal goals and vision to achieve before we become one. Believe it or not, we sync in those areas too.

Next year however will be tough, we are aware of that. Different countries awaits, but we will make it work. We know we will. We have faith. God please be with us.

There is so much more to tell about us, sweet-romantic-crazy-love tales but those are for us and us only. For now. The bottom-line is, a love like this only comes once in a lifetime. And that is IF you are one of the lucky ones. I truly believe I am one. So so so darn lucky. I know I am blessed.

I am looking forward to all that life has to offer me, him and especially to the both of us. I guess we all have to stay tune then.. Watch this space.

AI Disease, Do you have it?

2008-04-18T04:15:00.000+08:00

I certainly do!

I think I've just experienced the most nerve-wrecking Results Show ever!!

A bit behind in knowing the results but I just didn't get the chance to catch it on telly today so I decided to download the whole episode (S07E32).

First of all, I just have to say that this year's lineup is in-cre-di-ble. They are so diverse and each one of them have their own thing going on. I love all types of genres when it comes to music so it is really difficult for me to have a favorite contestant.

So here is some insight on what I think of them. *group shot here*

Lets begin with the guys. I gotta say, David Archuleta is the cutest thing, isn't he? He is just ggrr. He has an outstanding voice. I am not sure if he deserves the title though but he does stand a chance. A big one in fact.

The other David however is simply delicious. David Cook, you are super duper scorching hot! He is remarkably, illegally talented! What he has done with all those songs he sung on the show could really be major hits. I personally would definitely grab his album even if it just a compilation of cover versions. He is soo good. Like Whoa!

Michael Johns is one heck of a voice, but oh my God how in the world did he get eliminated?? Ugh. If I could, I would have voted for this Aussie. I would, yeap! I would.

Regardless of what the British guy said, his rendition of Dream On was great and it really suited him. Michael, I miss you. I am looking forward to the release of your record!

Okay, this dude named Jason Castro is like a cool breeze on a hot, summers day. His calm voice has the power of making me feel oh-so-good. Plus, I think he is really pretty!! But I am sorry to say that he is not the next American Idol. At least, that is what I think.

Right, the girls.

I looooove Brooke White. Really. Really really really. Her voice is one of a kind, she is beautiful, and she touches my heart at every performance. Need I say more?

I also love love the Irish lass, Carly Smithson. She is so cute! And man, that lady can sing! Her only problem is that she sometimes tries a bit too hard and you can sense it in her voice. Big big bummer but hey, she'll learn and she will be amazing.

Those above are actually my top 2 girls at the moment. I miss Amanda. Aaand Ramiele. And and ohmygod I forgot her name! The one with the husky voice. Uhmm.. Anybody?

Err yeah, that one. (oops)

So Syesha can sing. She can belt out the most hardest song there is, she takes risks, she doesn't fail, she has a pretty face, she has a nice image but my only problem is, I don't see her. Yeah, I just can-not see her.

Kristy Lee Cook is the one who got eliminated today (yesterday). No surprise there. Nothing much to say about her really.

About the Results Show, I was extremely excited to watch because not only I wanted to know the results but Mariah Carey was performing. Mariah Carey!! She is astonishing. I have had the wonderful opportunity of seeing her sing live and I can honestly swear that she is incredibly mind-blowing. Furthermore, not only do I wish I had her voice, I wish I had her body too. She is looking gorgeous these days!! Yes please, one MC voice and MC body would do me good. Great. Perfect? I want, I want, I waant! *sulk*

Okay finnneee... If I can't get those, I shall settle with a pair of her many many many many shoes. Ooh La La..

For those who did not watch the show, the bottom 3 was Brooke, Syesha and Kristy Lee. When Ryan announced that Syesha was safe, my heart dropped! Literally! I was so afraid for Brooke. I did not want her to leave.. Not yet anyways. So then Ryan said '..the person staying with us, (pause)' I had my hands covering my eyes, I was peeking through my fingers, I was chanting 'Brooke.. Brooke.. Brooke.. Please be Brooke...' My heart started pounding, I had tears in my eyes, and right before I lost it, dear ol' Ryan said 'is Brooke'. I actually sat up and started clapping all by myself. I was so so so so happy! weeee..

Yesss! I so love Brooke White and thank you to American Idol for the possible breakdown/heart attack. :p

Aack! It is 4am! Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

Stuck.

2008-04-17T15:20:00.003+08:00

I miss her,

and her,

and her too.

I miss him,

and him,

yes I really do.

You guys should know who you are. Here's a hint.

**T***

*O**

**I*

I am in dire need of a 3-hour long sit down + coffee + gossips + giggles + hand gestures + kisses + hugs + crazy-ness + ice-cream + butterscotch + panini + donuts + F + I + C + A!

My last paper is on the 8th of May. Enter that as a reminder!! ;)

Isn't it Ironic?

2008-04-16T22:46:00.006+08:00

I was all Miss Earth in the morning and by night I want a sports car!

Ha. Ha.

Buuuuuut, I swear I will only drive a car when I need to. I promise.

Regarding THE GORGEOUS below, I shall keep him in my garage (when I have one) and keep it for display purposes only. (riiighht..)

Oh heck, a girl can dream.

OMG.

2008-04-16T20:57:00.005+08:00

I WANT.

A Friendly Reminder.

2008-04-16T10:31:00.004+08:00

Good morning all you beautiful faces of the earth,

This is just a quickie to remind you that Global Warming is occurring as you read, no joke.

It's time to turn off your lights, the a/c, that radio you listen to when you sleep, that computer you leave on, the telly you are not watching, just switch everything off for at least an hour. You'll be glad to know that you are assisting in saving the world. We all can be Heroes if we want to.

Now MOVE.

GLOBAL WARMING IS OUR FAULT.

It's time to apologize.

Because YOU'RE worth it!

2008-04-14T22:51:00.005+08:00

It was a bright, sunny, scorching hot day. I drove for miles and miles to the venue.

(I wrote that about 2 weeks ago. Thank Blogger for the automatic save.)

Baby has a nickname now, and it is Katak. Because she has just been annoying lately. Sorry Baby, but yeah you irritate me. Stop shutting down on your own!! That is mainly why I haven't been bothered to blog.

Back to the first line.

It was on a Saturday, Boyfriend had a basketball match, I went to see it. :) Basic stuff right?

Buuut, I had to stop by at his house first to pick up his bed sheets. His mom opened the gate. Aack! It was my first time meeting her and I was ALONE. My nerves were out-of-this-world. I haven't even spoke to her! First time meeting the Boyfriend's Mom. Enough to make me poop in my pants! (Lucky I didn't though!) And I am glad things worked out fine, his mom was pleasant and cool. =) She passed me the paper bag with the bed sheets and I salam-ed her, and I was back in the car in before you could say 'Alan stole the monkey'.

Oh shoot, I was rather rushy wasn't I? Doink. Doink. Okay, too late to worry about that.

I was in a rush anyway, to catch Boyfriend in action! He told me his game starts at 11 but at 10.34 he called to say that he was going to play soon. (In my mind I was going UH-OHH!) I was still in KL but I had to lie to him and told him that I was in Shah Alam getting lunch. Hee.

Oh by the way, he didn't know I was coming so yeah it was a surprise. Hehe.

When I asked him why is the game starting early he said the previous one has been cancelled. Oh noo... I really had no choice at that point but to zooooooooooooooooom all the way to his college. I told myself to reach there at 11.15.

At 11.14 I entered the gate to his college. Praying and wishing his game hasn't finished, I saw the court as I drove (I had NO idea where the court was initially.. simply lah!) and and ooh are those the jerseys of his team?? My eyes lit up in excitement! I parked my car, stepped out, checked myself out (haha) in the car window and walked quickly to the side of the court.

And there he was, in his jersey, with the number 15 at the back, strutting his skills. All I could do was smile. Yes, I finally get to see him do what he loves. :)

I just stood and stared at him, watched him play the game. His game.

Apparently it was only the 2nd quarter and it was his first one on the court. I did not miss a thing!! Glad. Happy. Over the mooon.

The funny thing was that he did not see me AT ALL. Not until he took a break and sat down a few meters away from me. Even then, he did not see me.

And then FINALLY, he turned his head to the left and saw me eye-ing him. He instantly looked down.. and then up.. and then down again. And then the-moment-I-will-never-forget, he smiled. A big ol' grin appeared on his face. That was when I knew..

The E Word.

2008-04-13T14:28:00.006+08:00

*whispers* Exams. They are around the corner. Only 7 days away!! Yeah, a lil panicky but still able to stay calm. Breathe Dya breathe.. So I have 7 courses right? One is English and it is 100% on-going assessment so I don't think I have to worry about that. The other 6 however, hmm.. Okay, I can minus Islamic Civilization. I don't even have the book believe it or not! Haha. I so need to get it at the library. By wednesday!!

Okay, the next 5 includes Personal Development, Managerial Economics, International Financial Management, Mandarin 3 and Investment Analysis. PD is common sense, Mandarin needs practice and the other 3, STUDYYYYYY.. Read, memorize, revise, the whole nine yards! And I have about a week to do all that. Yes, Dya you can and you will do it!

So why still procrastinate? Good question.

RROOARR!

2008-03-30T02:56:00.002+08:00

Do I owe anybody an explanation?

Well, to Blog I do. I haven't really had the time to write about anything these days! Mainly because I have been seeing Boyfriend a lot, and I don't have the intention to let people into our business so that doesn't leave much to blog about. The least I can say is that it's wonderful. Exceeds my every expectation. Enough said. ;)

What I remember most about this month [besides Pumps Day(s)] is the day I volunteered at the ZOO!! Zoo Negara to be precise. It was actually an assignment for my Personal Development class. The assignment was for the whole class to participate in community service. Oh boy was that an experience! I have the urge to volunteer again!

Keeping this short, we were divided into groups and were delegated to various parts of the zoo.

My group were sent to the BIG CATS area. I was over-joyed, over-excited and over-emotional! I broke out into tears in the lions cage! Let me tell you why.. It was not because I was afraid, definitely not because the lion bit me, not because of the stench or heat, it was because Kani (the lion's name) was being caged up in such a tiny space and it was painful to see him moving a few inches side to side. Kani needs a bigger cage!! Poor kitty! Uggghh.

After about 5 minutes I calmed down and was asked to sweep the leaves off the roof so off we climbed to the roof and started tidying up. yada yada yada. We went back into the cage and started taking photos of Kani. He is such a darling! Underneath all that fur and deep angry growl, I knew he is the sweetest thing ever! I got down, sat in front of his cage and lowered my face to face him and looked him straight in the eyes. I told him that I would release him back to where he came from and he just sat and watched me talk and it was as if he was really listening. His eyes were sad and that made me sad. :( So after my deep and meaningful conversation with Kani, we were told to go to the tigers' cage. Arrr.. When we reached there, Pak Cik (he is like the cat whisperer or something!) was mating Picin (male tiger) and Zana (female.. duhh). They were directed into one cage, much bigger than Kani's thank God and we watched them foreplay. Haha. So much for privacy eh? Did not however get to see the real action. Zana was a little shy perhaps. LOL. Okay, eew.

Moving on, we were lead to Manja the Leopard. Oooh pretty pretty Manja! And how manja is she?? Seriously. The best part was we got to touch her! I touched a leopard! OMG! That print on her fur.. Grr. Have I mentioned I loooove leopard print? Go figure. ;)

After our brief introduction with Manja, Pak Cik unlocked a cage and guess what was inside? The most adorable young Puma's!! Yeah, Puma like the brand. Hee.. Their names were Aqilah and Agong. I was surprised when Pak Cik told us to step in the cage! I was like, whuuuutttt? I don't want to die yet! So I did. I was about 2 feet away from them.. I thought they were going to roar or something but nooo.. they humbly pressed their backs into a corner of the cage. They were actually afraid of us!! Puma's are afraid of human beings!!! Cooool.. Aqilah attempted to roar but it was so faint that it sounded cute! Hee. And Agong just sat there with his head bent down and when we called him, he bent it more and started to shake. Effing cute okay!?

I am seriously smitten over those 'Cats'. :) I even got to see Bagira from the Jungle Book! Whooa.

That's pretty much about the Zoo.

Before that, my class also organized a Seminar on Unit Trusts and Insurance. It was a big assignment but we succeeded in making it happen without any help from the faculty. Friggin'kedekut.

Aha! I attended my first Formula 1 race!!!! Thanks to Boyfriend and his brother, Ali. Not much to say actually other than 'zooooom... zoooooom.... zoooooommm' and 'whoooooaaa... whoooooaaa..' Haha. I did enjoy myself yuppp! =) Ferrari won! Yayyyy!! Me and Boyfriend even wore RED to show our support. Hee.

So okay, now the sad part.

Boyfriend has been on his Easter break since the early of March. He went to Hong Kong as previously mentioned and since he came back, we have been seeing each other every couple of days. :) But this week, it has been every single day. 5 days straight. And tomorrow (sunday) is his last day of his break. That means no more frequent dates. Sad. Sad.

The next time I will be able to see him is on the 19th of April. Hopefully!!

The 19th also marks an important (VITAL, ESSENTIAL) part of both our lives. Hmm.. :)

I cannot wait Pumps!!! *thumbs up & wiggles!*

On my last strand of energy now, Taaa!

Dear Izra.

2008-03-11T23:48:00.004+08:00

Pah.

2008-02-09T01:44:00.000+08:00

It has been a while.. And I don't really have much to write as of right now. Just gonna post up this song. The lyrics at least..

Better pack your bags and run,
or stay until the job is done,
or maybe you can sit and hope,
that providence will fray the rope,
and sink like a stone.
or go it alone

And isn't it enough
for you?
isn't it?

Isn't It enough For You
Isn't It?
for you

So better pack your bags and run
and send it to oblivion,
where you don't look like anyone
that anyone would care about
and do what you do
'til it buries you

And isn't it enough
for you?
isn't it?

Isn't It enough For You
Isn't It?

And baby - isn't it enough?
like major reno at the bluff
wondering aloud if help is on the way
and baby, isn't this your chance
to make a break with circumstance
isn't it enough to prove today's the day?
isn't it enough to prove today's the day?

Unexpected.

Just as I was about to begin this post, I received a text message from Pmpkn. He got into a car accident. Oh God I wish he is alright. My heart is beating so fast right now I feel like my chest is going to explode any minute. Should I call? But he did text me.. So he must be okay right? And he said he'll talk to me later. Hmm. I should call. Yes, calling now..
Not answering.. Shucks. Lets just hope that he is probably talking to people or whatever people do when the get into an accident. Remind me again.. He did text me to inform me, so he has his fingers, he has his hands, he can think.. So he is fine. Yes, I am sure he is.
Nooo i am not! Ughh I need to know what is happening!! No reply yet.. Pumps, please reply.. Please let me know that everything is alright.
It has been 8 minutes and still no reply!!!! :(
Phone, ring. Phone, ring. Phone, ring. Phone, ring. Phone, ring. Phone, riiiinnnggg!!!

Nope, not ringing. He is fine. He is okay. He is alright. He is in one piece. He is safe. He is perfectly well. Ouhh I am feeling queasy!
13 minutes alreadyyyyyyy!!!!
I am worried. Very worried.

After 10 more loooong minutes he called, and he is fine. :) Just imagine how relieved i was!!
He couldn't talk long so he called again about 5 minutes ago and told me what happened. I'm just glad that he's alright. Super glad. :)))))))

Okay now I have totally forgotten what I wanted to initially write about. I'll come back once I remember. ;)

Shucks!

New year, new semester. 4th one to be exact. My last semester of my 2nd year! Woot woot! Who would have thought I'd get this far?
Classes illegally started on new years eve. That is opposing my law. Like seriously, first day of classes on NYE??? You must be kidding me! So of course I didn't bother to go. Only got myself to school on Friday. haha. Had my first class, which was Investment Analysis. Seems very interesting, no? I'm getting ready to make money people! Just watch out! :p Tomorrow is really the beginning.. I have 3 classes! 10.30 till 6! Crrrrrazyy! Bringing along one LBD just in case things get really boring. haha.

Today was wonderful. I drove to Setiawangsa to pick up Pmpkn. First time ever in my life!! Only you understand that Pmpkn. ;) Again, thank thank thank you for being you. Ilymm!

Met up with Coco, Izra, Fateen and Azfar earlier at Swensen's, Subang Parade. Their Butterscotch ice cream is fantastic!! And you mustn't forget to order it with Hot Fudge topping. Sinful! And ohh, I think I'm in love with the Banana Choc Chip Muffin from Starbucks. Or maybe just with the person who bought it for me. Mmmhmm.

Dddddarn it! It's getting real late! I must must must get some sleep! Taa! zzzzz.

I'm Mrs "Extra, Extra! This just in!"

I don't know why she is affecting me so much. Big time! I feel really really terribly sorry for her. My heart actually aches right now. She looks more than miserable.. I guess I kinda understand how she feels. I have seen that look before. The I-can't-believe-I've-lost-my-kids look. I know. Some of you might know what I mean by that. *Sigh*

I have this urge to hold her. And then snap her out of all this BS. Somebody please help the poor girl already!! She doesn't seem like she can do it on her own. Wow I can't believe I'm getting upset over this. But I really am! (Again!!)

I truly believe that she is losing her mind. She is soon to be gone. She will be just another has been. But I don't want that to happen.. I honestly don't. And I think it is still not too late to fix things.
Again, why am I stressing myself over this?
And like nobody is going to read this and do anything about it anyway. AND, nobody who could do something about it is ever going to read my blog. Pah.

BRB.

I think I need some space. Maybe I don't. But I also think I need to get to the root of the problem and in my mind, I know what the problem is. At least I think so. Yeah, there has been a lot of thinking going on..
A part of me is telling me to fight, but I know better that it is only going to increase tension and frustration. So no to that. Another part of me is telling me to just let it go. Move on.. But I know for certain that problems don't go away that easily. One day it will come back and it will be much worse than it already is. And the other part of me is saying I know myself and I know what I want and in order to get what I want, I need to set things straight. I need to lay everything out in the open so that a certain degree of understanding could be reach. That is exactly what I want. Understanding. I thought I understood, but I guess I was wrong. I have mistaken. I am at fault. Though it is not fair for me to burden myself with all the blame.. I know I am not the only one who have mistaken someone for somebody else. I never expect anything more than respect, understanding and love from anybody yet it still is difficult to receive all 3. Should I lower my expectations? Should I keep trying? Or should I do what I always do.. Walk away.
I don't intend to perform the latter as it will crush me like ice cubes in a snow cone machine.
I know what I need to do but I just want some time to reflect on everything. One night perhaps. I know these things happen all the time so I am going to keep my head up high and have faith in whatever that is best for me. For us.

Grilled to perfection.

2008 has begun!!!

I can't honestly say that it was a splendid start, as I received a tragic news about one of my closest friend's loss. Her father passed away on the 31st of December, 2007.
Ni, I'm here for you. Always.
To those who are reading, please take a moment to pray for the deceased. *Al-Fatihah*

*Inhale..Exhale*

I spent New Years Eve at Coco's. BBQ! We did it all on our own. Bravo Bravo! Hmm.. But we are old enough aren't we? Haha.
There were drumsticks, lamb, kebabs (we had to improvise on the wrongly cut beef. We asked the butcher at Tesco's to cut the block into steak-like pieces but nay, he cleverly cut them into small squares. Square steaks!? No way!), potato salad, BBQ potatoes, chicken alfredo (Thanks Izra's auntie!), mac & cheese and garlic bread (courtesy of Fateen), bihun goreng (DD), nasi goreng (Azfar) and uhmm.. well, loads more! A little too much for the party of 12, no? There were plenty of leftovers! And I mean, PLENTY. Enough for another party!
We sang, danced, grilled (Lee Ann), laughed, & jumped into the pool. Well, Izra PUSHED me and DD into the pool. Hilarious!
When the countdown started, we gathered at the outside TV area with our paper crowns and those pop things. Those little bottles with a string hanging out at the bottom and when you pull it, it goes POP! and confetti comes out. Yeah, whatever those are called.
12am - "HAPPY NEW YEARRRRR! pop! pop! pop! pop! Woooooo..." Song in the background : None other than Dancing Queen by Abba. Were we celebrating 1976? ~
Fireworks started and we rushed to the opening and saw fireworks from 3 different locations. We had to climb the fence to watch. But Boyfriend didn't. :)
I couldn't ask for a more perfect countdown. Had my loved ones around me. I was over the moooonnn...
We then started to play 'pss' and later Pictionary. The former was a tummy twisting round of good fun. I laughed so hard!! We hit each other hard too! Man, the pain was immense. But totally worth it! *grin*
Played a bit of Pictionary before me and Boyfriend had to leave. Said our goodbyes and walked towards the car. I got to open up the convertible! *bigger grin* Ooohhh Fateen gave me a balloon so there I was in the passengers seat broadcasting my balloon to the people of Shah Alam. Haha.
Parked in front of my house and reminisced about the night. :)))))

31st of December 2007 - A night well spent!! Definitely unforgettable.

It is ending.

This year I turned 20. (as previously mentioned.) That is a pretty big number no? It is amazing how my perceptions and thoughts have immensely changed over the years. People would call it 'growing up'. This time last year I believed I had found the one. Naive alert! But really, I truly believed it when he said someday he was going to marry me. (dingdong!) Me? Finding true love at the age of 19? Me? Miss Independent me? It was too good to be true and it was, just that. Too good to be true.
That short love-sick-head-over-heels experience taught me a lot. Showed me a lot. Both good and bad. So thanks, ****** ****** for that. There's always you in me as I cherish the things we shared. Even when you did break my heart, I know now it was the best decision for both of us.

Right now I am in a relationship and I try not to get too ahead of myself. I believe in balance. When my life is well balanced, things will run smoothly. Easy peasy. (right!) I try not to let lust take over. I would rather take my own sweet time in getting to know the other person. At the end of the day, what matters is who the other person is and what he makes you to be. I want someone who could bring out the best in me and won't settle for less. Is that too much to ask? I mean, I'm not like wanting it at this instant or anything but you know.. eventually. ;) And nooo I do not want a boy. A man s'il vou plait. Someone like Captain Von Trapp. *drools* Hahaha. Attention to all you sissy guys out there (I know a few) : BE A MAN.

Psst : ilmpvm. ;)

Okay next topic! New Years Eve!!! I cannot waittttt! We'll be having BBQ at Coco's and I'm gonna be around my loved ones. =)
*Mental note : Get potatoes.
I'll be making BBQ potatoes! I hope I don't kill anybody in the process. Muahaha.. I have not tried it before so fingers crossed! If it turns out bad (i have a feeling it wont), don't blame me! ;)

Bored out of my mind! dadida.

Why is it that when I feel like blogging, nothing comes to mind!

pfft. Later.

We've Got Some Catching Up To Do.

2007-12-14T01:18:00.000+08:00

It has been almost a month since I blog-ed. But who cares right? :p

Between my last entry and today, a LOT has happened. I guess that is the reason I didn't write. No time on my hands! And when I do, my fingers were just really tired and needed rest. So what have my fingers been up to these days I hear? As I previously stated in my last entry, I was going to make a lil business out of my cupcakes and hey guess what? Business is running babyy!

I have been receiving orders from supportive friends and family. And also friends of family and family of friends. I feel blessed! I think i have sold approx. 160 pieces of Sugar Fairy Baby Cakes! Whoopeedoo! I think my slogan should be "Gimme some sugar!" haha soo unoriginal right? pfft.

That is pretty much what I have been busy doing lately.. But wait, I TURNED 20!! So that must be a big deal no? hmm.. not exactly. I still am the same person I was at 19. Probably fatter. haw di haw haw. I had a pleasant birthday this year. On my birthday itself, I spent it with Boyfriend. I think it was my first time spending a birthday with someone super duper special. hee. My family surprised me the day before at my grandparents. The uncles and aunties were there, and so were my lil adorably loud cousins! I felt like it was their party instead of mine but thats totally fine with me. I love for kids to be happy. And boy, weren't they happy!? They opened my presents, they blew my cake. The 2 girls Chacha and Aya had their Tiaras on their heads.. Ggr soo cute!! That was actually one of the best birthday party I have ever had!

Alrighty, so the party was on sunday. Saturday was the most exhausting day of 2007 for me!! In order to explain why, I should start by writing about what happened on Friday.

At about 7pm, 4 cars from Padang section 9 left for Janda Baik. I was in Izra's car with a trunk and backseats filled with pillows and blankets and whatnot. We were on our way to our Kelab Kembara Reunion Trip! It was devastating that all 3 (coco, fateen and jijah) couldn't come with us, so it was just me and Izra (as usual). We reached the Petronas on NKVE first so we waited for the other cars before we continued. From there onwards, Fazil became our passenger. He got to sit with all the pillows! We arrived around 9 if i'm n0t mistaken. I don't remember but we got there when it was already dark. duhh. Quickly we shifted the food and drinks from the car to the Tower and BBQ area. The place was absolutely beautiful! I was thinking "This is a bloody nice house!". There was a guest house, a pool house, a pool (obviously) and a lake! Annndd did I mention the Tower!? On the ground level of the Tower, there was a sitting area with a karaoke system! Tempting. :) Food was served not long after we arrived. Food consists of BBQ chicken, sausages, mashed potato and coleslaw. There were enough to feed an Army! We ate and ate and ate and still had tonnes of leftovers. We sang and took pictures for a couple of hours. Me and Izra took the mic and had a go at the Spice Girls! lol.
After our stomachs were satisfied and vocal chords stretched out to the max, we headed to the swimming pool and jumped! Bbbrrr it was freeeezing!! But I guess we stopped shivering after a while. More pictures taken here!
Before we lost our senses, we got out of the pool to warm up. Me and Izra resorted to the Pool House and started to dance to the radio. That, was fun! Sooo Grey's Anatomy! I quote Dr. Cristina Yang "Just dance it off."
Some songs were too slow to dance to and as I was trying to change the radio station, I heard a big SPLASH! Someone fell into the fish pond!!! LOL. I felt bad, we all felt bad but it was just too effing hilarious. The poor child was drenched! Plus all of her belongings! I felt so sorry, but still.. we just couldn't stop laughing.
After the big fish pond ordeal, we cleaned up the Tower and walked to the house and settled down. We bathed, and a few went straight to bed. The rest were in the living room chilling, playing the Xbox 360 or Poker. I was in the latter group. Yeah baby I almost won! haha. Emphasize 'almost'!
Poker finished and it was Pictionary time! Izra was my partner of course and we did pretty well. haha. Syafiq partnered with Tasha and Amir was with Nonie. Twas a ridiculously amusing game! "CHINA". Nuff said.
Before we knew it, the sun peeked behind the tall trees of the mountain. I just sat outside and watched the sunrise. It was over within a blink of an eye. Hello, saturday! I was already drowsy at that time so I made my way back to the room and found there wasn't an empty space for me to sleep. Oh well, I loooove fresh air so I took my blankie and cushion outside on the patio. I layed down on the enormous bench (it was the size of a day bed!) and drifted away. I woke up 3 hours later on a mattress inside the room. I got cold at one point and walked inside and landed next to Tasha. I knew someone was taking a photo of me sleeping and I found out later it was Quka! She was also the one who sang to everyone to wake us up. She woke me up! hehe. Before there was a queue for the bathroom, I took a shower first. Refreshing!
Amir cooked rice and they made fried rice for breakfast. It was spicy but oh boy was it tasty! A couple of us had our brekkie outside. We chatted, browsed through Amir's fancy iPhone and just chilled. What a bliss!
When everyone was up, they decide to swim in the river. I went along to watch and listen to the soothing sound of nature. :) I also had Amir's D80 around my neck so I took pictures of them in the water, splashing water and also falling into the water. haha. That camera is uber cool!
The time was about 1pm, Izra and I decided to make a move. She had plans with her mom and I had somewhere to go to. *grin* Tasha and Elly came back with us too. I had a complicated situation about something so a major headache attacked! That adding to the lack of sleep! Not just the 3 hours in JB, that entire week has been filled with sleepless nights.

By the time I got home and showered, my problem still wasn't solved. An hour after, I finally *sigh* settled on a solution and YES I was going to Turn On The Pop, Live&Loud KL. Yes oh yessss!!! Syafiq was a darling to drive me and Tasha to the concert. We arrived at Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club around 7pm and had to park a mile away. Walked to the entrance, showed our tickets and uh-oh our bags had to be checked! There was a sign stating NO CAMERAS allowed! Like, helloooo who goes to a concert without bringing a camera!? A camera phone at the very least! So they checked my bag *flashback! Dad came while we were waiting in Syafiqs car to give my birthday present. A Sony T2 cameraaaa!! Happy happy joy joy!* So ok, yeah they checked my bag and LUCKILY the camera was in the zipper. *phew* I passed.
As we were walking across the park, an Indonesian band was performing. We had NO idea who they were. We stopped walking and just looked around. All of the sudden this pretty lady came to me and said hello. She was a host for Hitv.tv and wanted to interview us. hahahaha. I can't remember what me and Tasha said and NOO I did not wait in front of the tv to watch it. lol.
We then made our way to the crowd, we couldn't get far so we just stood at a reasonable area.
Soon after Elliot Yamin came on stage and I screeeeeeeeeeamed my lungs out! He sounded amazing live! His voice was just oooohhh brilliant! I recorded parts of his performance here and there. He was so good!
Next performance was by the local artists. They surprised me to say the least. Excellent singers performed during that period! My favourite one was Noryn Aziz. That lady sang her heart out!! Others were Anuar Zain, Jaclyn Victor, Nikki to name a few. Their performance took forever to end and I was getting restless! Other people were obviously were too. We just wanted to get them off the stage! They sang good, but come onnnn.. we don't need to hear them singing 3 songs each!! I'm gonna leave out unimportant details now. *yawn*

The concert came alive when Shaggy walked on stage! He drove the crowd wild! Shaggy totally rocked out every single malaysian asses out there! Man I just love him! Rayvon was there too belting out Angel. :) Shaggy performed a generous number of songs for us. I was indeed a happy gal! By that time me, Syafiq and Tasha were separated. I squeezed my way through to the middle of the crowd. So there I was singing and dancing along to Mr. Bombastic. After Shaggy, the audience were fully energized! However due to the rubbish amount of time we had to wait for the stage setup, the energy faded. I was already on my knees. I felt like fainting but I kept telling myself not to as I was all alone. Scary thought!
I really must criticize the stage management. They were awful! Ridiculous!

1am : Dum dum dum the moment we have all been waiting for... Whitney Houston!!
She started off with 'If I Told You That' and she sounded raspy for some reason. Jet lag? Flu? Permanent damage due to drugs? God pleeeease no! It can't say it was a 'fireworks' moment, she came out and I had to convince myself that that woman on stage is Whitney Houston! I was seeing Whitney Houston LIVE! She didn't sound exactly like Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard, but her voice was still Whitney. I respect her for all that she has accomplished and coming back to regain her Great singer status. She probably won't gain it soon, but I believe she will. Someday. I mean, after all she has gone through give the lady a break. Her life has turned upside down and here she was trying to satisfy her fans, again. She sang her most popular songs such as heartbreak hotel, exhale, danced to i wanna dance with somebody and step by step and more. Even sang a beautiful duet with her daughter, Bobbi Kristina. She forgot the words but mommy rescued her. It was really sweet. Whitney ended the show with 'the' Whitney anthem, I will always love you! She did not hit her usual high notes and she did lower the keys to most of the songs, but she still sounded great. At one point she had to hushed the audience cuz we were singing out of beat (and wayyy out of tune! haha). But she smiled and I guess the fact that we still knew the words to her songs touched her.

The crowd cheered for her as she made one final run on the side stage and at threw her face towel into the crowd. The person who caught it is one lucky dude alright!!
And that was it. Boo. People started to walk away from the stage but some hardcore fans stayed and shouted for an encore! I joined Tasha with her aunts and cousins at the back. "We want more! We want more!" we screamed. And when the music started again, people came rushing back to the stage. Whitney then came out singing "I'm every woman" Smiles were on our tired faces!! We started dancing again until she bid her final goodbye to us ever so lucky audience. It was already 2am and I was 70% brain dead but it was totally worth it. Come on, it was Whitney Houston baby!!

Shall not forget that weekend. That exhausting yet fulfilling weekend. =)

Sugar High!

2007-11-22T00:07:00.001+08:00

I am starting to believe it when I hear "some people just never grow up". It is kinda sad really.. It doesn't bug me but I guess it is pretty disappointing. I have taught myself not to have any expectations towards people but they somehow still able to let me down. *sigh*
And the worst thing is, I can't just tell people to 'grow up' cuz that's just not how you grow. You grow from experience and what you take from your experiences. What you learn, how you convey it, and how you embrace it. Depressing how certain people lacks those basic abilities. I only have the power to wish them the best.

Owhhhkayyy, so last week was my gym + healthy eating week right. This week? Eat eat eat eat like there is no tomorrow! My massive appetite is back! And so is my belly. Someone says its fluffy! hee hee.

Adding to that, I have been actively baking cupcakes!! 3 days in a row! Today was the best batch I have ever made. Made my own buttercream frosting and all. Yum! If I say so myself. I am planning to make a little business out if my cupcakes. hehe oh yes I am a dreamer! But it is a dream that could come true, no? Practice is all I need!!! Yesss, I am determined! I have a vision now. Wow. I do! Something that could be achieved in the near future!! Omg I am getting a little over excited lol.
Yeap! That's my first ever buttercream frosting attempt! The color is a bit off though.. Stupid Razr 1 megapixel lousy camera! Oh i so need a real camera. *wink*

So I guess that's all I have been doing for the past few days.. And yeah, me and Izra's (now seem like regular lunch spot) Neway has been splendid to us! haha. We went there again on Tuesday. :) Tuesday was also the night of Nataliah's BBQ.
I carpooled with Leez, Jiha and her boyfriend Ersyad. They were such darlings to let me come with them! Thanks again! OMG the fooooddd! The lamb! The chicken! Delicioussss... We ate a lot I tell you.. Like, really! We were so stuffed we just wanted to doze off on their sofa. Lucky we got our butts out and into the car and headed back home to our own beds. Bliss!

I have also been attending meetings for our Kembara reunion BBQ! (another one yaeyyyy!) I cannot waittt!! And Coco will be back! Fun Fun Fun!

My pillow misses me already! Good Nighttt!

Haachews and Sniffs

2007-11-18T02:36:00.000+08:00

Another Saturday night, another night in for me. I am sick! Like that's new! Something is terribly wrong with my nose.. Call it the flu, sinus, whatever I just want it to stop. I need to stop because I am consuming too many poor trees! All those tissues I have used! I feel so guilty towards Earth. Sorrrrryyyyy!!! Unlike tears, I can't just wipe it off with my shirt eeuww. With that said, I do need my precious boxes of Kleenex. But still, I do feel guilty.

I mentioned tears, here's a fun fact! I am a sucker for tearjerkers!! I just love crying over movies haha. I really do!! In fact, I have 9 movies downloading at the moment at 7 are considered as tearjerkers. Yes, I have read the reviews. And that is why I'm downloading them. More tissues needed but nooo.. I shall prepare a towel for my bawling sessions. Mother earth you should be proud!

Alrightyy, what has occurred since (after a few minutes of confusion with days..) Wednesday..Right!

Thursday was another Gym + Karaoke day. Fun-tastic! We went early and left for Neway in time for lunch. I tried the Crabstick Noodle Soup and Izra had the Honey-glazed Chicken with Rice if I'm not mistaken. Nevertheless, both were divine! Ok that was a little exaggeration. They were good to say the least. Would surely eat there again! Right Izra? Nod! Nod! ;)
Had Mr.Tepanyaki at Cineleisure with the family that night. Twas just o-k. I love Japanese food but I would much prefer the restaurant at Shah Alam Mall, What is it called? Sakira or something.. and also Gengki or Sushi King. And definitely Hilton PJ's California Roll. To die for!!

Woke up quite late on Friday.. I stayed over at my Grandparents for the night. Played The Sims 2 the whole entire day and hit the gym around 9pm. We got hungry after so we stopped by at Mamak Bistro for some post-exercise dinner. And that means Fried Kuey Teaw! Hahahah. All those calories burnt on the treadmill, is back and probably doubled now! Shucks. The food took forever to arrive and it was all because the mamak did not order for us! Dude, you are soo blacklisted. No wann to fren you! :p

Slept with Grandma again that night.. Saturday came and before I took a shower I watched Steel Magnolias. The movie really touched me! I cried and cried and cried like a baby! Not forgetting that I also laughed my head off. A truly great movie! :)

Mom picked me up around 2 and we made a pit stop at the Mall before heading back home. I ordered the Caesar Salad from The Little Italian Kitchen for lunch. Or tea? Cuz I already had some lunch back at Grandparents. haha. I guess half a plate of veggies, a piece of chicken and meatless prawns just wasn't enough! We then went to get KFC for Mom and Brother. Tried the new Cheesy Meltz, It was alright. I really don't like KFC right now. Especially their fried chicken! What happened?? They are so small and hard and just yuck. Colonel would not be so happy you know!

Once we reached home, I started my unwelcome-d sneeze marathon! Nothing else I could do but sleep. And that is what I am going to do right about now.

Snooze, not sneeze!

Home Alone!

2007-11-14T15:08:00.001+08:00

It is pouring outside and here I am alone on my bed singing along to Norah Jones. Isn't she amazing? Her voice is beautiful and she sings beautiful music. Beauuuuuuutiful! There's always one of her tunes I have to listen to every single day and today, the song is What Am I To You? I am IN LOVE with it. I would love you when you're blue, tell me darling true.. what am I to you? *sigh*

Today's plan did not turn out like it was supposed to. Me and Izra are just NOT up for gym today. She has terrible stomach ache and my thighs are killing me! My muscles are swollen I can barely walk without feeling immense pain. :( Oh well, no pain no gain! But it has merely been 2 days!
I am supposed to be there right now on the treadmill running for my goal.. Which is to be in shape. (24% body fat) Oh by thw wayyyyy, I am NOT obese. I repeat, not obese! hehe. My body fat is actually acceptable according to the charts. Phew!

Gym has been fun and I really mean it! I've always been fascinated on how the body works. The body is a masterpiece of all the masterpieces in the entire universe! I mean, how could you not be in awe of the fact that to gain a pound, you just eat a big fat burger with fries and coke. Easy right? But to lose it, you have to run at 12mph for 195 minutes! Whooaa..
I kinda miss the gym at matric. I used to go everyday! I would jog before class, then hit the gym after. I was surprisingly very disciplined! Haha good times, good times...

Monday was our first day on the trial.. We went in the afternoon and only left around 6. Izra was craving for the panini at Vivo, The Curve so we met up with Teen there. I had the most peculiar sandwich ever! Grilled fish with wasabi mayo. Wasabi mayo!! Such thing exists?? It was a shocking surprise! Literally. The sting went straight up to my brain. Ooh it was a weird kinda good feeling. heh. Cleared my blocked nose though! lol. Teen had this mushroom pasta but it was totally bland according to the girls. I did not have a taste as I was already so full! And of course, Izra had the Turkey Strips with cheesy sauce Panini. We both paid an extra of 60 cents for the parmesan oregano bread. Oh well, it was good but Subway is waaaaaaaaaay better! Subway's sandwiches are THE BEST! *drooling at the thought of it*

Snap! Stop thinking about food! I've just eaten lunch! haha. Who am I kidding? Food is on my mind 24/7. I love food. Geddit? In another tab, I'm on allrecipes.com. I loooove the site! Recipes for almost anything!! wee.. happy me.. Another site I love to surf is rachaelray.com. She is my favourite chef!! She's so adorable! And her recipes are as she would say, Yum-O!
Looove her!! I just admire confident, bubbly, funny women. They somehow put a smile on my face. Rachael Ray is definitely in that category. As well as Christina Applegate, Jennifer Esposito, Lauren Graham and Ellen Degeneres to name a few. They crack me up!! People should watch Samantha Who! It is very very amusing!

So, yesterday was pretty tiring for me. Injured my thigh and all.. heck. We finished working out around 3+ and stepped into the sauna to relax. And by that meaning sweating like a pig. Pigs sweat? That, I am not sure. Hmm.. Ok ok.. While we were in the sauna we both agreed on going to Neway in SS15 before heading home. Oh boy was it refreshing! Just the two of us (again!) in a room fit for 10 people pretending to be superstars lol. Fun fun.. Food ain't that bad either. Thinking of celebrating my birthday there. =) (ehem.. december 3rd.)

Alrighty, it is thundering now.. Aack! I shall get back to the recipes. Not that I intend to try and cook them.. Not all anyway.. haha. Goodbye blog. I love you. ;)

Shortest Entry Ever!

It is amazing how things can be so easy sometimes.

The Internet Brought Us Together

2007-11-12T01:32:00.000+08:00

I just want to say that thanks to technology, I have made some pretty darn good friends lately. Friends that I shall cherish and just because I don't get to see them physically often, they have helped me quite a lot. All those IM conversations are meaningful to me. One person in particular, he who shares a broad range of same interests as me whom I hope to be friends with until the end of time. He is just a great guy and really comfortable to talk to. Well actually I have another friend who I can share my thoughts with and he is just as great as the previous guy I wrote about. I am really glad we've found each other and hope this friendship doesn't have an ending. And thanks for reminding me that there are worthy guys out there. Not only friends I have gained, but also love. The world works in a magical way.. That's all I can say.

For the record, I tend to have more things in common with guys than I do with girls. Guys are better to talk with sometimes. They seem to understand me better. It's not easy to find these types though cuz most guys are jerks. True, no? That goes without saying. On the other hand, most girls are fakes and wannabes. You're just looking for trouble la.. Why complicate your life? Be yourself, problem solved!

Right, bed time.. Good niiiiiight~

So here's a thought! I'm gonna briefly write about a number (i don't know how many yet) of songs playing in my library.

First song (the one just ended playing) is Sarah Mclachlan - I will remember you. Her voice is just beautiful don't you think? It is so pure. When she sings, you know she is telling the truth. *sigh* Takes my breath away!
"It’s funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard" Can't you just feel the pain? Outstanding choice of words. I can never get tired of this song, it is probably one of the most played song and it warms my heart each time!

Alrighty, next is Renee Olstead with A Love That Will Last. My definite theme song! Makes me smile and gives me hope. Her words expresses my soul. Her voice - Exceptional! One of the best voices of this century in my p.o.v. She sings this song beautifully, I fell in love the first time I heard it. The simplicity of the melody and lyrics melts my heart.
"I'll never leave you, So don't even ask. I want a love that will last" Enough said.

Aha! Ladies, sit tight and get ready to swoon! The sexiest song right now is none other than Robin Thicke's Lost Without You. No woman in the right mind is not fantasizing a man singing this to her (More precisely, Mr. Robin Thicke himself). Like, seriously! "Baby youre the perfect shape, Baby youre the perfect weight" There you go, what more can I say? Oh his wife is super lucky! Fyi, this song was written for her. *awwwwww*

Okay, this next one is the MOST played song I have and it is Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. *smile*
This song is just too sweet for words! The first time I heard it I was like OMG she is incredible!! Then I started to listen to her other songs and they are all amazing! I love love CC! Need her album! I do! I need it!
Bubbly reminds me of waking up by the beach when the sun is about to come up. Actually all her songs remind me of the beach. She captured the essence of summer and cool breeze and spread them through her songs. Blissful! "It starts in my toes, make me crinkle my nose" hee hee so cute.

"You know Miss Sunshine, she starts to paint a perfect picture of this river parade.." is a line from a song titled I Love The Rain The Most by Joe Purdy. Wonderful song.. Simple acoustic vibe that makes me feel humble. Joe Purdy has a lazy mumbling type of voice that makes me sit in silent and listen to every word he sings. He really grabs my attention. And i too love the rain when it stops.

5 songs! And I guess that's all for now. lol. I was just trying to write about something that'll kill time. I am so boredddd. My first free saturday night and I'm at home! Like, whaaaaaaat?
Shucks. I'm gonna sleep now.. Wait, no i'm not sleepy. What can I dooooooo? *grunt*

*sigh*

*swallows saliva*

That is it! I'm off. Night!

Beautified!

2007-11-10T19:33:00.000+08:00

I have spent the entire day beautifying my blog and tadaa! I love the new look!! Love love looove it... weeee.. *jumps for joy* Hey, I know it is pretty simple but it took an immense amount of time trying to align the borders and the picture *ehem ehem* and stuff. Anywhoo, I am proud of it! :)

My eyes are twitching! Too long facing this Baby of mine.. Neck hurts and certain joints and muscles are in pain. I think it's best for me to leave my bed now. And stay off it longer than half an hour! Yes, I will certainly try to do just so..

Oooohhh but Gossip Girl episode 7 has just finished downloading. Finally!! To watch, or not to watch? Uhmmm oh this is hard. I really want to know what happens to Serena! Although I prefer Blair cuz she's so pretty I might have a crush on her! lol. Whatever.. I want to watch!

But no no noooo i am in pain!

Shucks. Help.

Another one bites the dust!

2007-11-10T03:41:00.000+08:00

*haaaacheww!* bless me!
I have been sneezing since yesterday! Ughh.. My nose is falling off! I've said that a trillion times before actually, because I always sneeze! Cold water, sneeze. Dust, sneeze. Air-Cond, sneeze. I am sooo tired of sneezing! I hate it because it wears me down, makes me weak and ugly! Not only that oh noo..My whole face swell, my eyes get itchy and suddenly i'm the cousin of Rudolph the red nose reindeer. Ugh. *itch eyes* Gosh this is so irritatingggggg...

I wanted to make this entry long and exciting but I'm gonna trash that plan and write a brief summary instead. Today, I woke up a Sick-o! I couldn't feel my nose, couldn't breathe and there were tissues all over my bed! So I got up, (Oh yeah I was hungry too..) washed my teeth and brushed my face before piling up all those nasty germ filled tissues and threw them into the bin. I made my way to the fridge to get me some food. Ooh there were one uneaten croissant left. *smile* So I took out a sausage, some lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise. Stuffed everything into the croissant and voila! A perfectly healthy sandwich! (minus the mayo haha)
I then swallowed my flu pil and went back up to my bed. Watched Betty Boop (Took me way back to a time when I wasn't even born yet!), and fell asleep. Woke up again to do my laundry. Sleep. Laundry. Sleep. Laundry. What a hassle. Isn't there a robot which could just do the laundry for me? Just when I'm sick of course. Yeah, right!!

At about 4pm, Izra picked me up as I was feeling better after eating egg tarts and 2 actifast pills. I wanted to see my friends cuz I knew that laughter is the BEST medicine! And how true can that be? I felt tremendously better when I got back. The girls make me laugh so hard sometimes! Ok, most of the time! lol. All the time?

So, Ayah picked me and Ray (Aidi has SPM next week so he stayed home) up at 8 or so for a movie night! yaeyy! We reached the curve at 9 and I lead the way straight to Big Apple. He. He. We bought 2 boxes yum yum. :) One's in the fridge! No you are not invited over to my place. At least not tomorrow. :p
Movie was starting at 12 midnight so we had dinner first at Tony Roma's, Cineleisure. We ordered kick'n shrimps, an onion-cheese-sandwich (?), salad and of course, ribs! I wasn't particularly hungry so I did not finish my shrimps. They were delicious though. Took a bite of the ribs, they were yummy but nothing to shout about really. The sandwich however, was quite interesting. It was like 4 inches thick! Sirloin, onion rings, tomatoes, cheese and pickles all sardined between 2 1-inch thick of toasted, buttered bread. Served with chips! Delish!

We were SO stuffed we could hardly move! Lucky we had about 2 hours left before the movie start so we just lingered around cineleisure and finally settled at the fountain in between cineleisure and the curve. I just sat there and observed the movements and happenings around me. While people watching, I thought about what I would blog about tonight. I had some interesting ideas but cannot seem to recall at this moment. Pah! I'll continue on this tomorrow. (if i remember!)

20 minutes to showtime, we headed towards the cinema. They were loads of people yadayada, bought popcorn bla bla the usual. I am getting reeeeaallly sleepy! So okay, we watched the movie "Stardust". I looooved it!!! I did not fall asleep! Yaeyy! I was so into the movie! It was hilarious! Cracked me up terribly! Funny funny and oh-so-sweet!!! A fairytale with a happy ending. It was mostly romantic. Aww. Almost made me cry when the Star was talking about how her heart doesn't seem like it belonged to her and instead, she felt like her heart belonged to her one true love. !!tear jerker alert!! Two words, MUST WATCH!

Hah. My work is done, Dreamland is waiting and my prince charming also perhaps? Shall sleep and see!

Sweet dreams!

If we took a holiday, Took some time to celebrate.. "Madonna"

2007-11-08T19:53:00.000+08:00

I have 3 things to be happy about..
1. I am on holiday. Obviously.
2. I made mac & cheese.
3. I cleaned up my room!! annnd, shifted the main feature of my room which is the bed. my oh-so-comfy gigantic bed! i take like 1/4 of it when i sleep. the other 3 quarters? permanent home for my monsieur bebe, pinko and my pink heart shaped fluffy radio (courtesy of Kak Mie). Now my bed is facing the window, remind me NOT to leave the curtain open! The whole block of the opposite condo can see me. At least i think they can..hmm.
The room seem a lot more serene now.. peaceful.. clean.. pretty..(once i get those boxes to the recycling center that is!) I love my warm yellow lighting.. Very calming. And very inviting.. an invitation to Dreamland! Getting sleepy already and it is only 8.07pm.

So, holiday holiday holidayyyy.... sounds extremely exciting no? but nay, i don't feel like i'm on hols yet. I still don't feel it. I think thats a cue for someone to take me out. Anyone? Bummer..
However there is something I am looking forward to, and that is Futsal!!! Our regular ass oops i mean ball-kicking gathering is back on! yippee to that! :) I have not played for soo long and i have gained like 20 thousand pounds so lets see if I still got it. Got what exactly I'm not so sure..

Speaking about pounds and such, I followed Izra to her True Fitness appointment and i found out I am Obese! Me = Obese! Like OH GOD I need helpppppp!! Obese, body fat wise. I gotta reduce my body fat by 4%. And that is just to be normal! I am convinced it is my baby fat. aha! that must be it! Or perhaps I'm in denial.. I know I am chubby but obese? Aack!

Ok ok so what have I done to reduce my body fat? uhmm.. I made mac & cheese so of course I ate that. Very fatty stuff!!!
I have also been consuming a lot of ice cream! Oh shucks.
And and roti bakar and today Ray made garlic fried rice.. Whoaa I better stop! Seriously.
Luckily next week I'll be going to the gym. I am setting a goal. By my 20th birthday, I shall be looking fabulous! haha. And that means being healthy. I don't really want to be thin. Thin doesn't work for me. Just want to be healthy. :)

My plans for this 2-month break includes wall climbing, futsal, baking, crazy-ing with the girls, oh i cannot wait for our Kembara Trip! and and Live&Loud KL!! I so wanna gooooooooooooo!!!!
Any sponsors?? (It doesn't hurt to have hope)

Alrighty then, I guess that's it for now.
Toodles~

The Secret is Out.

2007-11-03T01:32:00.000+08:00

I have ISSUES.
I have just realized something about myself. Well, I'm finally confronting it that is. I, Nadia am terrible when i'm under pressure. I really really REALLY am! Certain friends should know by experience. You guys know who you are. And that is pretty much what's keeping me awake right now. It is 20 to 2am, and I gotta be up by 10. No 8-hour beauty sleep tonight! :(

Whether I am being asked a question, or see a Cop, or even running late, my palms get sweaty, my mouth turns dry and my speech ability - poof! gone. I come up with the most ridiculous and unthinkable things! My mouth just works on its own and I lost all sense of myself. It is like having a voice that belongs to somebody else. Trust me, it is not a good feeling. I guess that is the reason why I don't talk a lot. I sometimes don't say what I really want to say. It seems uncontrollable.. But it is not, is it? We are supposed to think before we speak. I know and I do do that, but noooo.. what comes out from these pair of lips can be totally different. And then that leads to misunderstanding. Ahh, I see the circle. Can't bring myself to type it out though. Shall keep it to myself.

Basically, every explanation goes back to the ancient Law of Attraction. Another topic I am leaving the experts to discuss. Bottom line, I highly advise everybody (every single human being on earth or anywhere in the universe) to watch 'The Secret'. I understand a whole lot more on how life works. I see it clearly now. Crystal clear! Life is simple if you want it to be. You complicate your own life. I truly believe in that now. Rhonda Byrne, thanks for your effort in helping people on what needs to be helped the most. Thank you, Thank you!! *standing ovation*

I have been trying to practice 'the secret' and it has done me good so far. :)
Go watch it people! but it is up to you to believe or not. The thing is, it has been in front of us all along! How blur can we be??? Ok I better stop before this entry becomes a 2-page essay.
All i'm saying is that it is perfectly understandable and logical. OH.KAY. Going now..
It works!! It really does and whether you believe in it or not, it is still working and doing its job. Right, I am totally ending this entry NOW.

Feel Good!!

Finals.

2007-10-27T12:03:00.000+08:00

2 down, 3 to go! now this is the hard part.. calculations! i have both of my finance papers this week. management on tuesday, and real estate on thursday. both i am definitely worried about. but i am convinced i am not going to fail. no, not again. according to the law of attraction, i must focus on what i want. in the short run, it is to pass my exam. so that is what i am focusing on. i am practicing the 3 steps, ask-believe-receive.
1. I ask to pass my exams.
2. I believe I will pass my exams.
3. I will receive what I deserve.

Now, i shall act upon it. what i need to do is leave my room and hit the books! Later!

I have juuust watched this video clip of Britney Spears caught by some paparazzi. It makes me so mad and terribly upset! It was a clip of her in her car with a music producer at 2am. They were just talking for goodness sake. Why are people SO nosy? Yes she's a celebrity but most of all she is an artist. I want to see the immensely talented young woman that she is. But she cant be that person when she is being beat down by the whole world. Come on, leave her alone already.. I've had it with all the stories about her. All those nasty rumors!! Ugh. Just shut your inconsiderate horrid mouth up. *sigh* Even after everything that happened to her, I am still a fan and i sympathize her so much that if I see her in front of me I would actually cry. Fame destroyed her! Such a shame.. Fame reeeally destroyed her! The whole world is watching and judging her and I dont blame her for not knowing how to handle it the way you expect her to. I dont know myself and you dont either! She is an unfortunate victim but a great example of what fame can cause.

Plus, we have TONNES of things to worry about! Like oh, how bout the world is breaking apart because of US? Get your priorities straight. Yes its fun and entertaining to hear about celebs. Believe me, I was once a Hollywood junkie. BUT I was 15! I am now near 20 and realized I have responsibilities and concerns that are far more important than people whom i see on TV. I admit, I still do love reading the entertainment section in the newspaper but for me, that is just it... Entertainment.

Peace.

summary

2007-10-05T23:55:00.000+08:00

as i wrote previously, i am terrible at this blog thing! i am inconsistent. that's me! an inconsistent klutz. oh gosh i am such a klutz!! i aaaaaaaalways trip and drop things. clumsy! i lose focus too easily its sad! i pity myself sometimes, i laugh at all the silly things i do. well its a good thing to laugh at yourself right?

anywhooo.. this week has been pretty much normal.. had tests on monday and tuesday. monday was my mandarin oral exam. THAT was funny! i have never thought an exam could be so entertaining! thanks to my dear friend, omar. sorry dude but you cracked us all up and simultaneously made me feel relaxed and my nerves were in control. yep! thanks to you! :)

tuesday however was one of those same-old-boring-tests. we had to distant the tables and place our books and bags on the floor. my bag! (ugh) annndd i couldnt even answer the first question! pah. next!! the other 3 was just okay. dont think i did a good job on that test. well its over and done with. yaey! (NOTTTT) end of tests means.. finals are here!!!! in 2 weeks time and have i studied?? nooo... can i even remember what i have memorized before? noooo... i am in so much trouble! the worst thing is, i have one final back up test tomorrow and i dont even feel like studying! why am i such a terrible person??? i should be buried in my books right now but noooo.. im here on my laptop typing words that nobody is going to read. hmm..

so wednesday was my no-class day! the best day of the entire week! i got up around noon, got dressed and drove to subang parade. i was on a mission! and my mission was to find tony bennet's duets album. (as if there are no music shops in shah alam lah kan) i reached s.parade and parked in front of TGIF (oh goddd yummyy!! i wasnt fasting btw but i wasnt like gonna go have steak by myself so i held in the temptation and walked inside..)
i headed to the rock corner making no stops on the way. my mission was important! browsed through the male section and surprisingly there werent any tony bennet!! i made a face and the friendly staff asked me if i was looking for something and i told him i was looking for tony bennet. he was a darling and showed me where the bennets are. they were in the classical/old section. i shouldve thought!! but to my dissapointment, they didnt have the duets album. boohoo! i just browsed through and made my way to a small section at the counter entitled 'the essential series for rm29.90' as i was reading the sign, the same staff told me there is a bennet there too and my eyes lit up when i held up the essential of tony bennet. i am so not letting this go now! plus, its a 2-disc album! this was definitely a steal!! woot woot i nearly jumped for joy. continued browsing more albums and found the best of frank sinatra. is today my lucky day or what!? so i had those 2 in my hands when i carried on browsing. the staff (same one) walked passed behind me but he came to a halt and suddenly he was next to me his hand moving my bennet to see what the other cd was. and he made this "impressive" look. haha. then he asked me, how old are you? you like listening to old songs? hehehe i am 20 and indeed i doo!
okay, mission accomplished. well, not entirely cuz the album i wanted was the duets album. ahh.. next time then!
after my 2 purchases (i was content), i realized i was hungry so i made my way to delifrance..made a couple of pit stops at the stalls and sports shop. arrived at delifrance and immediately saw mini fruit tarts. MY FAVS!! i have been craving for them for 2 weeks already! yes i believed it was my lucky day! i then took the tray and neatly placed 7 of the tarts. (strawberry, kiwi & peach) yum yummm! went to the counter and ordered a seafood d'lite. once they were packed, i paid and headed back to the car. the moment i shut the door (and locked), i opened the package and took a strawberry tart to end the crave. oh yes.. deeeelicious!
i drove home at a very slow pace.. at the tempo of mr.bennet. it was a wonderful drive! :)
i reached home and gobbled up my sandwich in my room. didnt want to tempt those who were fasting. huhu. the rest of the day consisted of more sleep and hours in front of this monitor.

i had buka at my grandparents as usual.. this night uncle mus and antonio joined us. uncle mus is now in australia with his family so that was our early raya dinner cuz he wont be here for raya. apparently nobody is. only my family and 2 of my moms brothers will. 3 out of 7!! where are the rest? 1 in belgium, 1 in syria, 1 in aussie (as mentioned before), 1 in malacca. buuuut there will be a lot of people here raya-ing with us and in total there will be about 10 kids (including me! hehe) i can imagine how noisy we're gonna be! i am so excited! pah. scratch that "nobody is going to be here" nonsense.

*reading through this entry*
i dont feel like myself at the moment. hmph.

moving on.. i woke up late on thursday. firdaus (my classmate) called me and he went where are you!!? and i was like, at home.. yawnn and he went guess what? theres no class today! and i laughed and said gila best! missed a class that doesnt even exist! lucky mee! so then i texted my friend to ask if we have class at 2 and her answer was NO. luckier mee! continued sleeping, decided to skip HRM and go watch a movie instead. texted omar (my jalan-jalan companion) if he wants to do the same. he agreed of course!

at about 2pm datuk called me. he asked me to go over his place as he needs some assistance. computer problems again i presumed. i made a stop at a phone shop on the way to get credit for my phone. got back into the car, drove towards the grandparents. the moment i passed the guard house, i sensed something different about the car. i heard something like boiling water.. and thennnnnn... smoke was coming out of the bonnet!! oh godd! my eyes instantly fixed on the water temperature lever and it was almost at the red line! okay, turn off the air-cond. lucky i had a few meters to go to get to my parking space. parked and turned off the engine and got out of the car within seconds. i was afraid the car was going to blow up! a lil dramatic i know but this is the first time im having car problems so please excuse me.. what a girl to do? call daddy!! hehe and daddy called raymond the mechanic and all is fine. raymond came and said uh-oh this is baddd.. uh-oh.. uh-oh your car has to stay in the workshop tonight.. uh-oh.. yea yea be funny raymond! so yeah.. he towed the car. no longer my problem! haha. told omar about the car so had to cancel our movie plan. bumzo!

night came.. buka.. watched the news. routine at the grandparents! while we were watching, omar called and said he wasnt doing anything and he had a car. weeee! movie movie! we have been waiting to watch i now pronounce you chuck and larry so finally we got to see it. we laughed through the whole 2 hours! it was undoubtedly hilarioussss!!! we both walked out of the cinema with aching stomachs. man it was funnyyy! stupid obviously, but really funny! cracked me up terribly! hahahhahhaha ok ok.. i must stop laughing at the thought of chuck and larry!

after the movie we grabbed something to eat, i tapau-ed sahur for my family and omar sent me home. definitely a fun night.

due to me sleeping late, no way i was gonna wake up in time for my 8.30 class! skipped that.. slept till 2pm! fyi, we dont learn anything in class these days cuz its the end of the semester so skipping is acceptable. riiiiigghhht!!

that brings to today, friday. nothing interesting happened today.. plus im kinda tired of typing! huhuhu... *yawn.

over and out!!

I was sitting on the couch in the living room and he was sitting on the rocking chair beside it. I was sleepy so I grabbed a pillow and placed it on the arm rest right next to the rocking chair. I then lowered my head against the pillow and shut my eyes. Unexpectedly, i felt rough fingers on my right ear. Those fingers softly played with the few strands of my hair above the ear.. Within seconds those fingers parted.
They had me smiling from ear to ear.
I opened my eyes and the clock showed 8.36pm.
It was the 22nd of September 2007.
A moment I will never forget.
A beautiful moment with my Datuk.

Perlumbaan Fireworks!

2007-09-19T22:47:00.000+08:00

No maw, this phrase is still considered new! haha.

Ok ok this sooooo overdue! But I hope i can remember everything and write about it anyways. As most of you should know, there was a fireworks competition in Putrajaya in August. Me, maw, paw, mom, aidi, ray, andi, unc.choo, aunt.emma, ali, chacha and aya (thats a mouthful!) were feeling super excited to go one night, which was australia's turn to burn their governments money (in a good way i suppose?). I was the designated driver for the night so I drove from Shah Alam to unc.choo's place in Cyberjaya with mom in the passenger seat and 5 people sitting in the back. Yes, including the boot. This is where the station wagon comes in handy!

We safely (THANK GOD!) arrived at unc.choo's crib around 9.. he greeted us and then gave us a tour of his new very modern house. I likkee! His lot is situated right across the gym, which was above the swimming pool. Sooo cool.. After the ritual family giggles, we headed off to the Putrajaya International Convention Center. Man, the traffic was well, as they say on the radio "bumper to bumper crawl". However we managed to get there just in time for the first burst of fire. It was a 3 lane road and people were triple parking so there was absolutely no way any car can move at that point so we just stopped our cars and got out and started to say our "oohs" and "aaahs" during the show. It was truly magnificent!

The boys ran up the humble hill to get a better view and the 2 little girls sat on the roof of my car. We watched in awe until the end. Everybody was happy and satisfied when we went back into our cars to go get some food. Oh yeah we were really hungry!

Just as I was turning the key, this fat guy who had his car parked next to mine tried to open his door. I mean, come on! there was like a 5-inch space between his car and mine. Try patience? I didnt think he was that dumb to actually try to squeeze in between our cars so I let go of the breaks but snap, he did. So he kinda skidded a bit so I stopped and mom winded down her window. We apologized numerous times. I know it was my fault and I honestly was sorry. Buuuut just when mom was winding her window back up, his even fatter wife came around and said "bangang. tak reti bawak kereta lain kali tak payah bawak!". How dare she said that to my mother!? And mom being the sensible person that she is just said "eh, tak baik cakap macam tuh". Thanks mom. If she wasnt there I wouldve probably screamed back at her. No no that is not the right thing to do. Never ever stoop to the other persons level. Is is soo not worth it! That woman just showed the attitude of a typical malay. Which is sad, really. If you have something to say then say it to my face lah. Why did you have to say it to my mom while you were walking away? Chicken. Nevertheless, it was my fault. I take full blame. Even though the bigger person is definitely not you.

So after the 'I-almost-killed-someone' incident, the traffic jam was even worse! I think we were stuck for an hour and a half! The agony! With our empty stomachs we patiently waited..and waited..and waited until the road gradually cleared. Unc.choo lead us to D'Arif in Cyberjaya for late dinner. It was almost midnight! Thank goodness the food was tremendously good. Stomachs were happy indeed!

We then parted and headed home. Home sweet home!! What a nigghhtt!

p/s: Australia won the competition! :))

much too much !

2007-09-13T23:11:00.000+08:00

I am guilty for neglecting my blog!! someone punish meee!

The thing is, I have 2 tests tomorrow! well, today actually.. (!!!) T.W.O!! I only knew about 1 so I was like It's okay, i can study tonight or even tomorrow morning and during the lunch break. But noooo.. I had to find out (thank God I did though) that i will be having another test as well. aarrrgghh!!! And the best part was.. and still is.. I HAVE NOT READ A SINGLE SENTENCE! Forget about revising. This is truly what you call last minute studying. Ugh. This week has been an utter mess! I am riding on an emotional rollercoaster! Soooo many things turned out wrong. Seriously. I declare this week as Poo Week.. for now. I really hope things will return to its normal ways and gosh please make these coming days less stressful. I am experiencing breakouts!
Oh man.. Noooooo.... I am sleepy! How could this be!? Energy drinks are supposed to give you energy! arrrrggghh...

*heavy sigh*

Alive & Definitely Kicking!

2007-08-12T00:33:00.000+08:00

Sitting on my not-so-comfy chair, feeling rather uncomfortable not only because of the mentioned chair but my ankle, buttocks and hips are in paiiiiiinnn.... Not forgetting my head which is a lil swollen from my head-collusion with one of the opponents teammates. That, I can honestly admit - HURTS!! I actually plunged down to the hard floor and had to take a moment to synchronize my brain. I stood up feeling ever so woozy.. Everything was such a blur.. All I saw was shocked looking faces and grey. Yes the world turned grey for an instant. I tried to walk, I did but very drunk-like. I nearly collapsed onto the ground (again) but nay, snapped myself back to reality, gave my thumbs up the my "coach" and continued playing..

Today was my first ever Futsal Tournament! It was organized by B.E.S (Business Elite Society - International Business Students, thanks guys!)
Unfortunately we did not win. Not even close haha. We got into Quat-Finals (well, every team did).. And lost 3-1 to get this, our very own seniors! Yup! The other finance team! So we were totally fine with it. Go finance! Go! Go! Go finance! wOooo... Man, that was fun. Alot of fun! Reeeeeally helped with my so called 'depression'. hehe. Who needs anti-depression pills when you can kick a ball as hard as you possibbly can? I assure you the latter is so worth it.

I don't really mean I was depressed ok. Just experienced a personal crisis. You know.. Things you go through when you are in Uni. Stressful! And the worst thing is, my skin is blowing off my 'happy-me' cover! Got fugly zits everywhere! *annoyed*

Thanks to a couple of my friends for being there when I needed advice. You know who you are. Thanks a bunch! <333

Hmm..I am sooo thirsty! In the last hour, i've already had 2 glasses of coke, a big cup of guava juice and now I feel like having iced milo. But I'm just far too tired to make me some. Ugh.

NIGHT!

-exhausted-

I bruise easily.

2007-08-08T00:11:00.000+08:00

Another tuesday night, another futsal "get together". Happy happy! Buuuutt... I was having a headache and the infamous grueling P.pain so nooo I did not play much. Nevertheless, the enjoyment was definitely there! What was pretty sad though is that elly and nabila wont be able to play with us anymore. Boohoo! Both of them are moving on to college life. Good luck to them! :)

I had my first test of the semester today! Economics! The subject I despise haha. And the lecturer who scares the fart out of me. She is soooo soft spoken but at the same time she has her own tiny evil-like gestures she gives out especially to non-tudung-wearing-girls. i,e: ME! Dont get me wrong, its not that I dont like her.. just that she creeps me out a bit. And noooo i dont know how the test will turn out! I think I know all the answers but maybe I'm wrong. Honestly, I have no idea! *biting nail*

Sigh.. I cannot wait for our next dance class!! Why oh why must Joseph cancel this week's class? hmmm.. Maybe I'll join another class for the day. *light bulb above my head!*

So okay, I will be lame no-more by tomorrow because I'm FINALLY going to watch transformers! yaeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Will write again soon!!
xoxo to a certain someone. *wink wink*

Long time coming!

2007-08-05T00:50:00.000+08:00

After so many delays and cancelations, we are finally enrolled in TH! Me and izra are attending hiphop dance classes! woot woot! It was incredibly fun! Looking forward to our next one. yaeyy....

Plus i am also learning salsa through videos.. and yeah, endless list of choreographies, and ohh!! learning to play some songs on the keyboard too! he he.. the perks of living at home while studying in uni. Me prancing around the house and stabbing the keyboard.. *i am all smiles*

Soo.. what has been up? Definitely a hectic week.. classes were utterly boring! Constant yawning all through monday to friday. Gosh. That's alot of yawning!
Had my first assignment, did it, went to class and darrrrn I did it wrong!! haha. Conclusion - copy someone elses. No no just kidding! Bad, bad dya, bad!! First assignment means serious business. Means that there will be numerous more coming!! Already have 2 pending. *bore*

Enough about my boring school i love so much. (I do??)
Ahh.. futsal! We had a friendly match with some strangers.. They were super! Soooo not like us! We actually have fun playing.. They on the other hand seem to be a tad too serious. But man they were good! They beat us up, bravo to them! But it wasn't a fair game.. At all! We did not have enough people as everyone seemed busy and couldn't make it. Bummer! And and since we were outnumbered, they lend us their player to play on our team but guess what!? She can't play. Like, whaaaaatt? So it didn't make any difference really, we were still outnumbered considering we had a 'tiang' as our defender. Sorry girl, but you know its true. However, we had fun. Sikit pun jadi la kan. Thats whats important! :) And thanks to them for actually inviting us to play. No grudge held here.

I feel like i am the lame-est person on earth! I have not watched Transformers!!! Its all still full booked! Gggrr... But nobody can stop me from watching it on wednesday. Even if I have to go alone, believe me I will.

Alrighty then, tata for now!
Going to a garage sale in the morning! How excitingg!!! wee..

R.I.P

2007-07-30T00:04:00.000+08:00

My baby passed away today. We buried her. She is gone. I am currently sobbing and feeling really weak. What did I do wrong? Perhaps I should've given her more TLC. But i did love her!! She is the first pet I have ever loved! For the 2 weeks she has been in our home, she has enlightened my life. I look forward for her to wake up so I could hold her and feed her and cradle while she falls asleep in my arms. Oh how i miss her. I used to sing to her.. She loved music. I know that. She also loved soft fabric. She would curl up in our old clothes and get lost inside the crumpled piece of material. She was the cutest, most prettiest little kitten! sobs..
Delila baby.. Boomboom.. I love you. And I really hope that cats do have 9 lives! I miss you! I even miss your shrieking meaw-ing in the middle of the night. I am truly sorry if I did not treat you well enough. I did my best, baby. I am sorry for you.. I am sorry for myself. I am simply lonely without you. *bursting into tears yet again*

2 hours.

2007-07-27T16:01:00.000+08:00

2 very short hours was all i had to shut my eyes! i feel like a zombie at the moment!
I am groggy, irritated, SO not in the mood to do anything! except play ball! :) I really hope I will be able to make it.. There are electricians here right now fixing the blown up fuse. Blame the combination of 24 hours 'on' pc, amplifier, cd player, printer and router - all plugged into one weak socket! A tragedy waiting to happen right? So now, I have to wait for them to get things done before I can leave the house. I have not even had my lunch yet and it is already 10 past 4! *tummy churning*

i am hungry! Maybe I should just go out and get me some food. And my poor brothers! I bet they are famished! Yeah, I shall do that.. Start the ignition, ease the clutch and turbooooo... right.

Tata!

Dance like nobody's watching!

2007-07-26T01:13:00.000+08:00

Nobody ever watches anyway, so that's easy-peasy-simple-pimple for me!
Here I am, 20 past 1 in the morning designing some t-shirts for myself. I can't wait to get them printed!! :)

My feet is aching, so is my 'behind', and yeah..my abs! ouch! ouch! i am sooooo out of shape! to be in this much pain!? obvious aint it? That is what i have learnt from En.Saijuri (my wellness lecturer/coach/trainer-i still don't know what to refer him as!) Fitness is how we lead our daily lives without fatigue. Oh yeah that reminds me, I am supposed to write an essay on 'Benefits of Exercise'. Due on wednesday so i still have loads of time!
Crap! My mandarin dialogue! Haven't even started on that! Too late to go to China now. Tomorrow, perhaps. "I'd like to get you on a slow boat to chinaa... all to myself.. alone.. lalala.."

Ahh.. the reason why i am in so much pain.. one word - futsal. Last night was extra brutal somehow.. I came back with bruises and I couldn't even get up this morning!! Lucky-duck I didn't have class today. *grin*
You know what? Tuesday is my favourite day of the week because of footie nights. I just love it. I look forward for tuesdays! I would wait patiently for the week to cruise by. Usually extremely slowwww though..with classes and all. However I still wait. By the way, huge thanks to Leez our 'tokeh'. Love youuu!!
It is super fun playing with the girls. Boys, Don't you ever EVER say that a girl can't kick a ball! Believe you me, we kick! and kick, and kick, and we score!! Ha! In your face male goal keepers! Never underestimate us. Be caution at all times, we just look cute and innocent.

Tomorrow is going to be a pretty long day for mee! 4 classes! bleurghh.. I think the administration should limit our classes.. say, 2 per day!?? Possible? *battling eyelashes*

I better get some rest and prepare myself for 8 hours of lectures.. OHMYGOD waittt I've just remembered, one of the classes is being forwarded. That means....... tomorrow i have 10 hours of classes! Shucks!!

Good Night to me! May I have the deepest sleep tonight! (sorry for being a lil selfish, but i NEED a good nights sleep!)

Mwwahhh!

Baking and Feeding

2007-07-22T22:22:00.000+08:00

Sounds like a new mom eh? Well, that is what i have been doing today, which is a sunday! Delila is still a baby so she needs immense taking care of and attention. weeee she is sooo cute!

Her very own milk "bottle"!!

Just look at that face!

Oh I love you.

Guess what? me and mom baked chocolate brownies!! yum yum yumm-o! We went to get our ingredients from this baking shop "bagus" - Our new favourite shop! They sell everything from A to Z regarding baking needs. And the smell of it! The sweet scent of cakes.. oOoohh..We also (actually just me) made pepperonni pizzas for dinner. Delishh. :) Oh how i appreciate the kitchen more nowadays.. I find cooking reduces stress! Agree? heh.

*after a few minutes of blank-ness*

I am tired and going to bed. Oh, after my bedtime reading of course.

Good nightttt!!!

She is the prettiest little thinggg!! ggrrr.. I am totally in love with her!!

It is my utmost intention to get her a gorgeous new big cage, a comfy "bed" and of course, a potty for her to do her tiny pungent businesses *smirk*. Plus plus plus, gourmet-style meals! I want her to be FAT! Oh I can't wait! :)

I love you boom!

Morning! Morning!

2007-07-19T09:03:00.000+08:00

The clock displays 9:04.
I am inclined to get up and ready myself to go print out my assignment (which is my very own CV) and make a quick stop at the petrol station by 10 because thats when Leez is coming to pick me up to go to class. That reminds me, I havent text her! (while texting..) Wont be back till 6!!!! Oh the agony of it all. Shucks.
Well then, I better switch myself on speed mode. Tara!

9:12.
I clicked on 'publish post' seconds before Leez replied my text saying her class only starts at 4! i envyyyy her. So.. Change of plans, I guess I'm driving then. (wish me luck for a parking space! fyi, there are very limited parking lots available in Uitm ughhh)
Oh wait, why does the date says today is the 18th of July? It is the 19th ok!

WETnessDay!

2007-07-19T00:09:00.000+08:00

psst: first entryyyyy!!!

*clearing my throat* gosh what ever for!?

okay okay, i shall begin with ABC..no no..how bout DO RE MI.. i am rambling, i know!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway,
started my day off by watching the second (or maybe third i am not sure..) part of V for Vendetta, i know i am sooooo back dated but who cares!? After my movie-in-bed hour, which was at 9-ish in the morning (pretty darn early for someone who doesnt have classes the whole entire day! *happiness*) I got myself up from my blissful heaven a.k.a my bed and danced my way to the bathroom for a refreshing cold shower!
Turned on the tele, attempted multiple times to 'fix' the Astro..failed miserably, gave up and headed back up to my post-tornado-location-lookalike room. I must get rid of this mess!!!!!! This is a crucial situation! I feel like there'll be elephants and grizzly bears here when i wake up tomorrow. So yeah, there goes my dirty little secret (not anymore!) I, Nadia am a messed up messy person. Something I am SO not fond of fyi. Where are my fairy godparents when i need them??? I wish i had those two 5 inches short fairies to grant my every wish. Dya, you must really stop believing in cartoons!
It was half past 12 and i was feeling bored as ever, decided then to go get lunch for me and my 2 monkeys. Oops! i meant my brothers. (ha ha not funny ha ha). Drove to the 'IT' lunch spot which is the kopitiam in section 13, wishfully thinking there wouldnt be many people.. but hell-oooo!! It was lunch time for goodness sake. The place was flooded with hungry human beings! Yes, I can also be dumb sometimes. sue me. Cruised my way back to section 9 and picked up my 'hotstuph sista' jaja and settled for 1901 at the mall. (which is conveniently located inches away from my house! what a waste of petrol!) I then resided back home to deliver the dogs to the monkeys (lol). Phone rang, picked it up and it was nenek on the other line asking us to join them for lunch. I offered them my service so we drove to their apartment and took them to this new cafe in sec.9 (a spitting distance away from their crib). The weather differed, it started drizzling. Sent my grandparents back, and there I was heading towards the TNB to pay our electricity bill. I am not, i repeat not looking forward to pay my own bills. I would love to able to live alone though but with my so called income (which concludes my allowance and study loan) i would have to live in the dark with no water. NO i am not ready to move out. I can hear a loud sigh from my mom's room. hee..
By the time I got home, It was already 4 plus. Went online for a couple of minutes to check my mail.. nothing interesting. bah! Layed down, wink wink wink 5.30!! It was time to pick up my McD clan (Ween, Emma and Azie) from class as they were blank on ideas on how to kill 2 hours before our wellness club meeting at 8. By this time it was raining kittens and puppies, pouring i tell you!! So I took them to SACC (Shah Alam City Centre in case you didnt know) for dinner (and shelter!) at Palma where we had mamakmia (mee goreng mamak), kueytiaw and black fungus noodles. As usual, Azie took her own sweet time making her decision on what to eat. Seriously people, she can never make her decision (On anything!). We were halfway through our meals when she finally ordered.
We left SACC with overfilled stomachs, feeling woozy we drove our way to our ever so wonderful campus (haha) Uitm. Pick-up point number 1 was kak Ina and Kina. And pick-up point number 2 was Amy. 7 of us in the car! Imagine that!!
Wellness Club is undoubtedly interesting (as the teacher/coach/trainer/i-dont-know-what-to-call-him-plus-I-forgot-his-name have mentioned several times during his 2 hours long story telling period) It is interesting in fact! I am utterly excited to be a part of this club! It is all about living a healthy lifestyle and basic stuff like how to eat right and the correct ways of excercising. Yeah, I really must pay my utmost attention to him!
He ended his 'talk' around 10.30, at that time we were all feeling drained and sleepyyy..and I was holding it in. (needed the loo real bad!)
After sending the girls (this time only 3) back to their designated destination, I zoomed towards home (I am afraid of car stalkers ok!) and made a beeline to the loo. *Sigh of relief*

It was certainly a Good day. :)
