Bite the Bullet

2008-07-09T11:10:00.001-04:00

Just bite the bullet and move on.
Its all easier said than done. Especially so if you're going through some kind of an emotional roller coaster

Say, begining of the year, you get to know someone and you tend to spend alot of time with him. Say dinners, classes, hobbies, movies, giving you a ride home when you need the most, all that. And some how, in the mist of all the on-goings, you suddenly reaslise that hey, maybe I've fallen for him. You don't express your feelings towards him because you're afraid that it would somehow jinx or change the relationship. So, what do you do? Keep quiet about it, with the expectation that things will turn out the way you want it to be.

But then, suddenly, he tells you that he's going away for a holiday during the hols. And that feeling that tells you that you might miss him creeps in. However confused you felt, you thanked your lucky stars that you didn't had the time to think it through. Its not whether you wanted to avoid the matter and face your feeling but it was more so because the examinations were the ones that were clouding your vision to see clearly. So, what is it that you do? Chuck the matter aside.

Out of the blue, while you were busy studying, there came an overseas message from him. It might be a sign that he missed you. Maybe a sign that he was bored ( which is pretty unlikely). But what bugged you was that he was willing to sent you a message from where he was. So, how did you react to the matter? You jumped up & down at home, feeling as though you were in cloud nine and shouting 'He misses me' many times, not knowing the real reason why he actually messaged you. Maybe he messaged you because he was bored or he was getting into getting the mind games to start. And because of this message, you were somehow deluded by the illusion that maybe he misses you, meaning to say that maybe he does share the same feeling. And how do you react to that? Keep smiling like everything's going to fall in place.

When he comes back from his trip, he tells you that he's in a relationship, WITH SOMEONE ELSE. You felt like you are loosing it. You feel that the world is unfair. You go, HOW CAN THIS BE? HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN TO ME? WHAT DID I DO WRONG? DID I WAIT TOO LONG? DIDN'T I GIVE HIM ENOUGH TIME? WAS IT BECAUSE I FEARED REJECTION THAT I KEPT THOSE FEELINGS THAT I HAD FOR HIM ALL BOTTLED UP IN ME? Questions after questions go through you're mind. Your bestie said that what's best is for you to get over it. Bite the bullet and get on with life. But you don't know how long it would take you to recover.

When I sit back and think and look through it all. There are alot of maybes or should haves that could have changed the current situation. I am lost for words to know what or how I'm going to move on. I'm not too sure how I'm not going to do something without being reminded of him. And what's worst, he still doesn't know that I've all along had feelings for him and I'm acting like I'm a good friend, standing by him, supporting and telling him to calm down when his gf doesn't call or msg him. At some point, I sometimes feel like telling him that hey, i'm here right in front of you, can't you see ME??

I know it all sounds like i'm all delusional or self-centred or a pathetic fool, what ever you can call it. I don't intend to let it be that way. I know that I'm not like that. I'm strong, certain, considerate and smart. But sometimes when these things happen, it just gets the best of you. And what can you do? Bite the bullet........

I know I know.. Its been a long while since I've written anthing. There's so too many things that I've gotta tell u. My b'day, my photographs, my photo shoots. And to top it off, my EXTREMELY crazy schedule. My lecturer is mad beyond mad. And his workload isn't exactly lighthearted. I'm prepared to be shrunken into bits and pieces by the end of this sem. Exams are in 2 months time and there's ALOT to learn.

If you guys are wondering what have I been doing since the last entry, well i've been having classes on weekends and on some weekends, its from 9am till 8pm. Yes, beyond your wildest dreams that D can stay in school at such LONG hours.. Though it isn't the first time that I've done such things, remember last term's revision period. Well, that was for only a month's worth of weekends, this is more like the whole semester.

And attending James's class is a MAJOR roller-coaster ride. In his words, its called "exciting". To us, the students, its called running the Standard Chartered 42km run. And right now, I'm in the mist of doing my essay. To all, does Target Costing ring a bell???????

Ok, other then photography, i'm usually down with my photography buddy Zahari. Yes we are tight. The close-friends tight. Please ah.. Though we did get the couple look a couple of times. Like when we dine out or when we go for photography. There was once when one of our friends thought that we were an item. This is how it went.

On my last photography lesson day, Zahari didn't joined me because he had to prepare for class the next day. You, the type whereby you've got a HOD coming to your class and observe the way you teach? (Oh yah, if I forgot to mention, Zahari is a teacher. So when we say to our friends that 'we've got school', we BOTH have school. Just differ in our occupations only. Hee! Hee! Hee!) So I went to class alone & met with the rest of my classmates who come from all walks of life. And when class ended, I sort of bumped into one of them at the train station and we were going to take the same train. So this is how it goes.

Me: Hi!
E: Hello! U taking the same train?
Me: Yes. I'm staying in Kembangan
E: Oh! I'm from Pasir Ris.
Me: Ic Ic
E: 'How come your husband didn't come today?'
Me: 'Oh! U mean the guy I'm usually with? He's not my husband.'
E: 'Oh so sorry. Your boyfriend?'
Me:' Oh, he's not my boyfriend either. He's just a close friend.'
E:' Oh, so sorry! I really didn't know. So how come he's not here today?'
( and the conversation went on ....)

Imagine how shocked I was when he said that. Oh k.. Now I'm suprised to hear that people in class have thought about the both of us to such extent.

Oh, btw, I GOT MY D80 with 18-200mm lens. YAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So right now, i've got 2 camera bodies & 5 lenses.

2 Nikon Bodies

D80 -> fresh from the IT show
FE SLR -> Inherited from Daddy

5 Lenses
18 - 200mm VR-> bundle with my D80
50mm f1.8 -> a birthday gift from Zahari
105mm ->Inherited from Daddy
35mm ->Inherited from Daddy
300mm ->Inherited from Daddy

Here I am, this time, much much more busier then ever...

Since grandpa's hospitalisation, things have been followed by many many activities. I was with Zahari the whole day on Saturday. More camera & photo sessions. Pretty fun you can say. I mean, what else can I say, I went out to take photographs, went over his place to settle the camera arrangements which he ended up lending to me his D40 for Tuesday's class after all. And have someone to cook for you a late lunch. What can I say, I did have a good Saturday out with him.

Before meeting Zahari on Saturday, I went to collect my CompuTrekker. Its WONDERFUL. What else can I say? I like the bag. But the problem right now is that I find it a little too BIG for me. I mean, the straps cutting are a bit too wide. Zahari said that I should swap with his CompuDay Pack, something that's smaller. I did try it on & I find it quite comfy actually. Not too large for me. It gives a better fit for me.

So after some thorough thinking, I have decided to swap with his bag. I mean, how am I to bring it along for photography classes when its too big. Already as it is, I'm thinking of lending his Novo AW slingbag. Come on, how am I to carry a backpack when I'm wearing a dress or a blouse? Hehehe.. On Saturday itself when he was about to pass the camera to me, he was prepared to hand it to me with the NOVO AW. Ni dipanggil GATAL/CHEEKY. Orang dah offer tak nak. Sombong. Now I'm thinking of borrowing it from him. D, please decide....

Sunday, I was over at Kak Inah's house, doing her wedding gubahan. With her cats in the house, it was fun. You can only see her cats flossing their teeth. Hehehe.. Honestly, that wasn't what they intend to do but when my aunt was sewing something, this fella thought that it was some sort of a toy, something for it to play with. So he ended up flossing his teeth while my playing with my aunt's threads.

The cats are so cute & utterly so manja. One will for no apparent reason will just sit on my lap, hoping that I will massage or rub his body.. Even if I played with his paws or continue stroking while it is sleeping, it will be just glad & sleep soundly.

There was one moment when the striped cat found itself in a box & I covered it with the lid that has HOLES. And it seems that the cat enjoyed staying in the box. Hahaha.. Later, the other cat, the manja fella, well he tried to find a solution to help to get his friend out of the box. It was really cute seeing them like that. I badly wanted to snap pix of them. Playing around. Sleeping like a big boss in the house. Oh how I wish I can keep cats...

Back to School

2008-01-04T00:30:00.001-05:00

Yesterday was my first day back at school. It was pretty much a crazy I can say. And James Kwan's speed isn't exactly going at 60km/h but more of 130km/h. Everything moves at a very fast speed. Shifting gears takes place very fast and we are always expected to stick to gear 5 when we are on the highroad. And when we've stuck, we've gotta put on the hazard lights just to signal to him to slow down.

I feel like taking up another module. F7. But i've gotta consult James regarding my idea about this. I mean, if I do take F7, I do have a choice of either taking Mr Goh, my taxation lecturer or another day of James. Which is it, I'm not too sure about that. I really want to know how heavy is F7 because its financial reporting, similar to 1.1 but of a higher standard. So maybe I might take another module. I mean, if its bad, how bad can it get? And another one of James's class, well, then I really badly terribly have no life.....

Heading out for a short photography session tomorrow with the Zahari & he's accompanying me to get that Lowepro CompuTrekker from that fella online. Got it at a great deal actually there. So I probably be gettin my hands on that D40 of his. Nope, shall not even touch his D200. Forget it. Firstly its heavy & the other thing is that I'm so afraid that it might slip out of my fingers due to its overwhelming weight. For a guy, yah, it's alright. Perfect size & everything. But for a girl, for fingers s dainty like ours, no thanks. If I dropped that D200, Zahari will definately be on fire & he'll be on my neck 24/7 about it. Just like a vampire...

It seems that I've gotta go off here.. I'm actually at Changi General Hospital right now. Granp's warded and everybody's working in the day so I have to come over to check things out while he's in the hospital. Everyone else is coming in the evening while I can come during the day. What can I say, part of the duties of being a granddaughter.....

Right there waiting for me...

After reading the work of scheme for my Financial Management Module (F9), I looked up to my shelves & I'm grateful to see that Mr Sloman is still sitting there, nicely, waiting for me to pick it up one fine day in the course of my ACCA education. And another part of me tells me why was I so stupid to throw away my Management Of Business notes. *nods her head in disappointment*

Schools starts in a couple of days. In some ways, I'm happy that I'm starting school soon but the other half is telling me that when school starts, its a gentle reminder of another head-banging / library = refugee camp schedule for me. What else can I say, that's school life..

Speaking of the start of school, it also means that we are going to say goodbye to 2007. And I'm turning 24 too. Back then when I was young, I asked my mom, whether its alright if I get a boyfriend when I'm 24. And look at me now, 23 & not in any serious relationship with some guy. Hahaha!

Looking for a guy isn't one of my resolution for next year. It comes when it decides to come. Like the song goes " Cinta datang, tanpa diundang...."

I like the way things are going for me so far. I'm happy with my life, my love for my hantarans & the fact that I've rekindled my love for photography, it just makes it all better. What's in store for me in 2008 is yet to be searched, tried, experienced & tested my yours truly. Is it the year where I come to my fullest potential? Or the year that I've become contented with myself? Or even somethng that might come along unexpectedly. I don't know.

For 2008,

a) I pray for good health for me. I hope that I won't get sick with the start of my maddening & hectic school schedule
b) I pray for good health for my parents, sister & all my love ones.
c) I would wanna complete my F modules before moving up to my Professional leveel where I can take my degree in Applied Accounting
d) I hope ma' sistaz will be as zany & awesome FOREVER. I love u girls. Hope to travel, go scuba diving & snorkelling with u all again.
e) I hope ma' crew will always be ma' crew.
f) I can get my D80
g) I want to go for another roller coaster themed vacation

Just received the e-mail reagarding my photographic classes for next year. Can't wait for it to start but having a little problem with the camera arrangements with Zahari... Eeerrrgghh!! This part, I don't like about him...

Anyway, I can't wait for my Yoga classes to start.. There's some pilates classes held at Marine Parade Cc too but the schedule clashes with my photography class.. What to do, gotta wait for next time then... Haiz...

Long Overdued

2007-12-25T09:19:00.000-05:00

Week 49
( 3 - 9th Dec)

The days for that week had been MADNESS..... It started out by the two gruelling days, the two days that I was preparing for combat.. One day for Tax, while the other for Law.. And what can I say, it was a good battle... And the best part was right after my last paper, I went to meet Norin. Had to get away from all that craziness....

My sis got back on Wed from her NY / DC trip. And I got my COACH bags, Levis Jeans & lots of other stuffs which I really really really love... Am wearing the COACH wallet right now too... Hehehehe.. What can I say, I really really really love that design.. The all leather CC design.

Friday 7th Dec
Sentosa trip

Definately AMAZING!!! And oh my, were there alot of exicitement going on... We girls being girls, went tanning. Got a nice tanline after that.. I became Miss Hottie that day. Because its just the girls and none of our guys were there, so it was alright. So we BARED IT ALL OUT... And Nor & myself did diving at the Underwater World.. Oh gosh! How much I love diving..... And how much I missed it.. Now, I feel like taking the licence... Check out the pix peeps...

That Sat, I went to JB with the rest of my family to get some wedding stuff.. Was busy... ReAL busy..

Week 50
(10 - 16th Dec)

That week was going out to town to meet Amu for movie & catching up. And I met Jo, oh how much I miss her so much. And I finally got a BIG Harrods bag ( all thanks to Julie) where I can fit my gubahan stuff whenever I go to places... Glam tak tinggal babe.. Hehehehehe....

Week 51
( 17 - 23rd Dec)

This week was another crazy week because of Hari Raya Haji... And my parents were all working on Eve of Raya so it was left to my sister & I to do the cooking, marketing & cleaning. Yes, I cook. Suprising huh? I did the Lepat. Sorang2 seh... Penat tau ikat sendiri. Alhamdulillah jadi cantik & lembut. It turned out great, Perfect texture.. My sister cooked Sambal Tumis... Well, that's her fav dish so I expect her to cook it well & it was good.. Real good... Hehehehe....

The next day, I went to meet Lynn to get some rocher.. She got engaged on Sunday. Congrats to her... Anyway, after coming back from Arab St with Lynn, Zahari msged me to ask me out for a movie. It wasn't a date. Its more of a carried forward get together. Both of us were busy with school. I was down with exams & he was busy being with his students, Geography trip & holiday.. We caught National Treasure & headed off for coffee later...

Anyway, he told me something. He got a D40 Nikon. When he told me, I wanted to kill him right there on the escalator when he broke the news to me. When he read my expression, he knew then that I love to get a Nikon DSLR. And so we're been talking about nothing else except for cameras cameras cameras since...

The next day, he asked me out to accompany him to look for a camera stand. And we finally did. A Giotto ball head with a Manfrotto stand. And we got it at a good deal. And there was this bag which I was really interested in. And when I asked more about that bag, guess what that salesperson said, ' Well, that's great for keeping milk bottles warm'. I appear not to hear what the salesperson said while Zahari just kept looking interested with the other camera stands, making himself look like he heard nothing. But trust me, when I spoke to him later that night to chat about the stuff that we bought, I had to refer that bag which I was really interested as the 'milk bottle bag' and when he reacted to that, well, I know he knew what I was talking about...

Anyway, speaking of Nikon DSLR, I'm getting it soon. Once the IT fair is in, I'm gonna get it. Without a doubt. Plus its gonna be the D80. Not the D40. And I can finally inherit my dad's old Nikon lenses.. Hahahaha!!!! I love the sound of it already.

Sunday was down at Lynn's engagement. And how else can I say this, I really have a grudge with mak andams. Oh how much I don't like them. They are only nice when a) your their customers & b) you dress up as glamourous as them. Other then that, they are all plain STUCK UPs.. Oooppss... Its my blog & I have 100% ownership of www.kaleidoscopia.blogspot.com

Week 52
24th Dec

Yes, it's Christmas Eve. And I was out to Arab St again to get some stuff for the hantaran decorations. And I am honoured to be the first one to hold Zahari's D200.. He went to get it with me. I even took some trial shots with it and it turned out quite well. I wanted to play around with his camera but he was rushing off for his game & I wanted to head off to Funan to check out batteries for the Sony T20. I was supposed to wait for him while he finished his game but I was too tired & wanted to head home. As it turned out, he continued with his MAGIC game till about 7 plus. Thank god I didn't wait for him any longer. Or else I'll be sitting ducks at Raffles City. And the crowd isn't that fantastic either. People doing their last minute Christmas shopping. I'll end up getting a headache thinking about it. Gheez.

Suprisingly, he called me when he got back to talk about more camera stuff.. What can I say, we both are in love with DSLR. For me, its more of rekindling love while his was falling in love with it for the first time.

Honestly speaking, its been a LONG while since I've gotten my hands on an SLR. I think the last time I did my werks on the SLR camera was while I was still in MI. Those days when I was down for Sports Day & 'I' Day .. Those were the days.

So when I was playing around with Zahari's D40 on Saturday, guess my skills are still there. Just lack of practice. That's about it. My shots were better then his. Hehehe...

Alright then. I think that's all for now. School starts soon for me. And Yoga too. And a photography class which Zahari is helping me look into.

Most likely I'll might head over to Zahari's place ( when is that gonna be, well I'm not too sure because once school starts, we both will be busy with school ) to play around with his cameras. He's letting me to play around with it. Looks like he really knows how much I love a Nikon DSLR which is why he's allowing me to use it from time to time.

Looks like I'm prepared to have a packed & geared up for 2008.

Gone.... Totally GONE

2007-11-20T03:01:00.000-05:00

The revision is going absolutely CRAZY. There's no other way of saying it except that its been a complete maddening marathon. And I really wonder HOW on earth I can keep up with it....

How maddening has it gotten? Let me tell you how...

Fri 16th Nov, I went off to do my self study session ( as usual ) from 1 till about 8.30pm or so.. Had a break ard 5pm for about half an hour before resuming to my work... Finishing of my company tax questions. After all that, my sis insisted that I should send her off to the airport that night... SHE'S IN NEW YORK !!!!! You wouldn't wanna know how I feel abt not being able to join her... AAAAARRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!! But hey, nvm, been there twice. Plus I did manage to head to the WTC... And I climbed to Statue of Liberty TWICE.... They can't go to neither one of these places cuz a) one is a memorial ground and b) you can't go up to the crown anymore.... Hahahahahaha!!!
Anyway, back to the story. Since she insisted that I were to send her off, being a good sister, I told her that I'll meet her there at the airport. Her flight was a midnight flight. So imagine what time I got back.

Sat 17 Nov. I had tax revision class. Your dear friend here was being so gung-ho that she stayed for not 1 or 2 revision session but for 3 sessions. Yes, you got it right. It started from 9 - 1pm. Followed by 2-6pm. And this last one was the best, 6.30- 10.30 pm. Initially I didn't want to attend the last session cuz I was afraid that I might be tired. But hey, I didn't. Plus I had Herbie with me. He brought Sour Cream Pringles.. Oh yah, supposed to bring Doritos for this Fri's session. And Mr Goh will say, eating corn chips again.. Hehehehe... Anyway, something mariculous happened before I attended that evening class.

I was hungry. Sandwich was my lunch.. Yah, so I told Sharifa that I wanted to head over to the vending machine to get some snacks. Knowing that your dearest friend here was STRAVING, I wanted to get 2 items. So after getting the first order, I started putting in my first coin, wihich was a 10 cents. And that stupid vending machine THREW it out from the return coins chute straight onto the carpeting. Fine, i know, u are abt to say, the machine wants to sleep so its rejecting my coins. So, knowing that I was already brain zombified, out of desperation, I started to put ALL my coins into the slot, hoping that some might get accepted. And guess what, out of the 10 & 20 cent coins worth abt $1.50, only 10 cents managed to get accepted.

(Please control your emotions if you are in the office or any public vicinity with effect of this paragraph.)

I went " Oit!!!! Don't you want my money here. I wanna eat alright?!!!!" with all that banging & stuff. Sharifa, looking all panic stricken, went like, "Eh! Relax girl. There's cameras everywhere in this school alright.. So chill" Then I gave up, Totally hungry & angry... People could see steam coming out of my ears.....

Word of advise: And hungry man is an angry man.

Thank goodness for Herbie having having that canister of Pringles... Even though I don't eat chips & I don't particularly like Sour Cream flavour, I ate about a quater of the canister. Loving my dearest Herbie for everything..

Then, later that night, when I got home, I was hungry & tired & sleepy. There wasn't food. So with no other alternative, went ahead to make myself a cup of milo before sleeping. And guess what, no hot water. So I took the kettle, filled it with water & waited for it to boil. While waiting, I slept, standing up, without realising it...Wow!

The next mrng, Sunday, attended my law revision which was from 9 till abt 3pm. My friends were asking whether I attended the tax evening class the night before, and when i said yes I did, they said, wah! Solid lah you". And when I told them that I picked a fight with the vending machine & mastered the art of sleeping while standing, the first thing that they said was " GONE! That's it... This girl is totally GONE...."

Seriously, I really don't know why this sitting is practically sucking the goodnes out of me. It is alright. Thing are way OF COURSE with alot of people. Maybe I'm doing too much thinking that I can't see the obvious things that's right before my very eyes.. I jump into conclusions. Make bad judgement calls which are not me & not right. I don't know... Its just sucks the goodness out of me.

SO this was what I did on Mon, yesterday. Went to catch a movie alone. Caught "The Game Plan".. I was hoping that it wasn't crowded but it was.. Haiz! But heck lah... If anybody dares to say anything, i'll just say, " Wait till you sit for a professional exam. See how far it will drive you nuts..." :) Hehehehe...

Alright, I'll just let you all wonder how nutty I've become. And I've better put a self reminder to bring a big bag of Doritos to class on Friday. Something for Herbie & I to munch....

Indeed it was a long day

My trip for jalan raya did turn out to an unexpected event. We, our car, got into an accident. Don't worry, we're all fine. Just some bumbs & bruises for Shannen & myself. Thank god there was the guys. They helped out alot... Sideeq remaining calm & all, Fadil, the PR fella who was doing all the slow talk with the others, Irwan, coming to us when the accident first happened. Thanks alot to all.. It was indeed a turn of event..

Nah, no worries, we did all proceed with the jalan raya, with all our parents worried about what happened. ALOT of parents Asked about alot of stuff regarding the accident. Especially Hashim's mum, cuz that was where we were heading when the accident happened. She was asking us whether all of us were alright and made us eat, you know why, cuz we were VERY hungry & VERY thirsty and VERY tired after all that happened..

ALright there, enough yacking.. Here's the pix

Off MODE

2007-11-03T11:15:00.000-04:00

Here I am, in two ponytails, typing away on my bed, telling u guys how how I survived my first taxation revision session. Not bad because of the revision that was done in advance. Thanks to ppl like Esther & Lashmi, it didnt' turn out that bad after all..

Taxation is more of section numbers again and again. I thought law was bad enough when words such illegality, negliegent misrepresentation, duty of care, breach of contract etc. If u think that its alien enough, then how about ratio decidendi, deminimis rule, promissory esstoppel, stare decisis etc... And how about names of corporate cases such as Caparo, Donnaghue & Stevensons, Photo Production, Hedley & Heller, Hadley & Baxendale ( professional duty of care).. Alien! Alien! Alien! What?! Nonsense! Is! She! Talking! ABOUT?????!!!!

Then when its taxation, its always about tax computation for company or individual. But for individuals, there's resident of Singapore, Non- Resident, Non Ordinary Resident. There's the different tax rates that available for different people earning different amount thus being taxed at a different rate..

While doing the computation, there's terms like s10(1)(a)-(g), whereby we have to remember what each section means. And u know why I always say that I become ZOMBA after my tax classes, is because of

a) one min, the term is a term, the next, there's also an AKA in terms
of section numbers... Eg: Unilateral Tax credit Relief is aka s50A.

b) my lecturer who's without a doubt very experienced but its so tough for him to tell us the answer straight to the point. We have to probe, poke, become sherlock holmes, open evidence case, investigate etc.. Well, you get the picture...

c) And the last one is that he's the fella who's responsible for the corkyness, the zomba-ness and the nonsensical stuff that's coming out of me at the current moment. The other day, he was saying that he's stressed out because of us. And I told my friends, he doesn't know the kind of stress that HE'S giving us. My lecturer, he's cute and definately funny. Known for things such as 'that green thing', questions that's modified to the extent by which we can't solve or figure them out on our own. Like he's making us take another step ahead while doing it. Lashmi says that those questions are mutated while I call them MUTILATED. Apparently we're agreed that those words are STRONG enough for it...

Before anyone know, its coming the end of the year. You know why I am so aware of it? Cuz my exams are coming soon, meaning that the year is coming to an end. It feels like its just yesterday that I started school & taking my ACCA and now, I'm already taking the 2nd level most toughest paper, taxation...

Now I'm grooving cuz Nellie, Justin & Timbaland's Give it to me is blasting thru the radio...

Plus tmr I've gotta get up early. Going jalan raya with ma' crew. Taking LOADS of shots this time round. Starting it early and the expected duration for the whole thing is 12 hours, yes, we're gonna start at 11am and ending it at about 11pm. Eloo???!!! We all gotta work & go to sch the following day.. Which explains the msg on my msn.. Switching off, wef Mon..

My schedule is packed to the max with things... Exam's around the corner.. Suffering from terrible migraines. I appreciate your concern, you know who you are...

Can't talk much because the things that are on my mind..

1) Taxation notes that have yet to be completed, 4 more chapters to go.. ciayo!
2) Law test that is due this Friday, doing more reading abt corporate governance,
3) Sunday's Hari Raya Marathon... 3 cars going plus 3 or 4 bikes, something like that... wondering how it will turn out....
4) Wondering how I am going to survive for the revision that takes place during the weekends...
5) Someone owes me dinner but it keeps getting postphone due to busy schedule. Hhhhhmmmmm....

When the photo's out from my Raya collection, I'll pin it up here.. There's gotta be some really interesting pix here... Keep watching!

Getting the FEEL.....

2007-10-10T11:44:00.000-04:00

Apparently its only now that I can feel the RAYA mood setting in. Even though my house is in complete mess, I just seek refuge in my room and BAM! I totally feel it. What's left would be to iron my kebayas and it will be all set..

Thank goodness last Dec I painted my room. So, the mess in my room is still bearable & I just have to clear some things to make my room spick & span. And the colour is beige, my fav colour. Initially I wanted to paint it red or green, like bright tones but I changed my mind while picking the colours because I'm they type of person who would like calm & soothing things. And during the exam stress period, I badly need that calamity & soothingness...

This year, its going to be the 4th year in running that I will not be receiving a wonderful Hari Raya card. The one that's especially written to me, with lots of love & sincerity. Haiz! Those days of which people will decide on the same colour of baju kurungs together. Those were the days...

Suprisingly, till today, no one can really please me that well. I'm a tough girl alright. Yes I can play the same game if you play the same game but when its a serious one, please don't kid me...

A long time ago, I would definately want to settle down, have little 'devils' running around and be happy. Spend my mornings with him playing with my hair, or admiring me while I sleep. And how well he fits into your body, every curve & angle. Knowing how well your hands fits into his palm. And when you have your kids running around, never failing to make you laugh.. When you have found that special somone, it will all be perfect.

But when I look at it(marriage) again, I think I would be missing alot of things if I continue with that initial plan. RIght now, I find that I'm more afraid of settling down then ever. Why is that so? Because there's alot of RESPONSIBILITY that goes along with it. And all your obstacles that you would be facing when one enters into that stage of life. OMG! I am so unprepared. And I thought I was before.. Gheez. And lets not talk about childbirth YET..

Things that I want to achieve in life before I enter that other stage in life;

1) Continue with my education
2) Buy my MINI COOPER
3) Earn big bucks before I turn 35
4) Continue looking out for people who might interest me.
-> I have yet to meet someone who loves to travel, enjoys the outdoor (meaning trying out alot of incredible things that have the thrill factor), never fails to make me laugh, good chemistry (VERY IMPT) & loves me for what I am.
5) When I've finally earn all that I want, I'll settle down with the right guy (if I EVER meet him), stop working as an accountant & start with my own bridal business

Its coming

2007-10-05T04:03:00.000-04:00

A couple of things that I've gotta say...

1) I'm going out with the girls tonight. Yeah!
2) Jo, I miss u too. We ought to meet up soon before u head off to East Timor.
3) My one & only dearest Herbert, thanks ALOT for last night. You're the best!

Ok, that's the 3 most important things that I've gotta say.

Raya menjelang tapi I still don't have that festive mood setting in yet. Why is that so? I don't know. Maybe its because of all the things that's going on in my life right now. I've got no time to sit & enjoy the mood.

Hopefully the mood will set in soon. I pray hard that it will...

Stop being a prisoner in your own prison

2007-09-29T00:21:00.000-04:00

There has been alot of things going thru my mind lately. But I'm blessed to know that things are going to be slightly different here. And I'm gonna be alright. No worries.

Went to buka with Ma' Crew yesterday at Es Teler Cineleisure. Had a blasted time being with them. As always. This time, instead of talking of old times & stuff, we were playing guessing games. The ones my cousins & I will play when we were travelling from LA to San Diego in the Amtrack train. The kind of games that you play when you either have to break the ice or just to pass time. Yup, those kind of games.

Anyway, speaking of talking about old times, we all were suprised with some news that we heard. But it is yet to be confirmed. And someone said that next time, for class gatherings, it would have to include children. The only thing my conscience was telling me was that we haven't ever passed the bring your boyfriend stage yet & now, we have to bring our kids. OMG!! Time passes by so fast. Some of our classmates are married with children..

Its amazing when you've got friends who care about you, lends you the helping hand and just be there for you whenever you need them. They love me, which explains the urgency to get hold of me immediately, whether it be thru a phone call, msn or even text msges. Ahh... The wonders of technology..

Those who have been there for me, thanks for being part the journey of my life.

Beating the crap out of me

2007-09-27T01:30:00.000-04:00

Went for buka with 3 other girls yesterday after class. It was alright. And there was a sharing session later on after dinner. Sha left early as she was going to visit her friend's dad who was hospitalised. When we heard the bad news, sebak bila nak buka..

I'm still buried somewhere underneath my schoolwork. I'm just waiting for someone to pull me out from it. I'm just there, working & working & working... Alot of things are on my mind and I don't know how to clear it all up.. And the more I continue burying myself with work, the more I feel that I'm running away clearing up my mind.

And yah, there's a high chance that I'm calling it off....

Back after ages

2007-09-20T02:33:00.000-04:00

Hey there. I know that its been ages since i've updated this. Been busy doing alot of things lately. And there's actually LOADS of photographs to be uploaded but there something wrong with my photo transfer. Anyway, i'm still looking into rectifying that problem.

How's my life been lately if you're asking, well alot has been going on. My school work is burrying me to the maximus. And if i've class the whole day, i'll end up being a ZOMBIE by the time i get back too. And when i start doing my work, i'll forget my meals but I have Simon to constantly remind me to eat.

How is he if you're asking, well he's there, somewhere. Busy flying. But its kinda great that he's away cuz I can concentrate on my schoolwork. The last sweetest thing that he did was to give me tix to the fireworks display over at the pontoon. It was great... And the crowd that I had to go thru...

Other then that, life has been ok.. There's alot of blessing in disguise. :)

I've got another confession to make...

2007-08-13T09:31:00.000-04:00

I've got another confession to make...

The reason why I've not updated is because something great had happened in my life right now. Though there has to be a little sacrifices here & there, but its worth it. Not really that much fuss so its alright however sometimes, it needs a little shaking up..

My sistaz knows abt it. And they went like YANNNNNAAAAAAAA........... Totally FLY *hint hint* Ok, right now, the agreement is simple.

Alright, gtg & catch my rest. NITE!

2007-07-31T23:12:00.001-04:00

Human are complexed individuals

2007-07-31T21:30:00.000-04:00

Work-in-prgress

And I sometimes feel that I'm a major GUNDU BLUR like SOTONG. Talk about me being a student accountant. Ya right.. When these kind of things are right before my very eyes, I'm blur as KUKU. Sometimes I feel that relationships should be as clear as numbers. I know, I know, human are complexed individuals thus having a complexed manner in having relationships. Ok, some can call me tactless when it comes to dealing with people. Sometimes, I feel that relationships should be like numbers, which are obvious. Straight to the point. No need for any explainations. But no, relationships have to be like LAW. Got to draw diagrams to clearly analyse the situation. There's this GREY area. Unlike accounting, its either black or white. Simple.

Sentosa trip was cool even though initially I didn't feel like going. Alot was going through my mind the whole time we were out. Plus there was the NDP rehersals. Imagine Nor eyeing me like she has x-ray vision & trying to read my mind everytime the planes fly by while I will just look at the sea & pretending that its such a beautiful scene. Hehehehehehe!

What if

2007-07-27T02:52:00.000-04:00

Alot of things are going thru my mind at the moment. About school, my upcoming results, my buggingly aching headache, these are just a few.. There are other things that's on my mind. Wish it would all GET OUT! OUT! OUT!

Going to Sentosa tmr but nah.. Not really excited about it though... Its not because of someone but I just don't forward to it anymore.

Alright, yacking nonsense right now...GTG

Sentosa this WEEKEND

2007-07-24T21:48:00.000-04:00

Well, these few days have been quite a yoyo. I'm very busy with school. Doing more reading than I've ever had. I've got tutorials this time round so sometimes, my Saturdays are spent going to school. Ya, there goes my no study on weekends policy.

Ma' Crew have been doing great. We caught Transformers the last time. And if you've guessed it right, we are going to Sentosa again this weekend. All 10 of us. Too bad my cam's not working. What a shame. I've gotta get those shots from Nor this time round. Usually its the other way around... Sis, angkat bola eh...

I've been a little under the weather lately. I don't know whether its the weather,or its the sick season or its the workload. This usually happens unexpectedly. Just as I was getting my momentum...

Anyway, I spent my last Sun, sitting at home, reading the last installement of the Harry Potter book. Gonna read it again cuz the first round of reading was the excited wanna get to know what happened kind of reading. So I've might have missed the little bits & pieces. For those who have been reading it from book 1, you'll realised that the book is actually dedicated to us & by reading this last installment, you'll get the WHOLE picture. And did I mention that I like the ending & I finally found out what's Ginny's real name. Hehehe!

Ron+ Hermione = Rosie + Hugo
Harry + Ginny = James + Albus Severus + Lily

Shalln't say much now. Gotta get ready for school....

Back fromTimbre

2007-06-30T22:42:00.000-04:00

Here I am, reporting after last night at Timbre.

It was alright. Totally like a bar concept. And if people like Sha or Nor came, they totally won't feel left out. There was LOADS of girls in tudung sitting around there. Anyway, it was more of coming down to support Fadil. Not there with other objectives in mind right?

The bands who performed was inititally boring but bands after Fadil's bands were good. Some were awesome. Like very good vocal projections & with proper diction. Will be uploading the video that was taken by dearest Wati on her N73. Bless that girl for having such a wonderful phone :)

Why is it that the high stool chairs that they have are so uncomfortable to be sat on if someone seats on it for more then 2hrs? By 10pm, Shannen, Wait & myself were plain tired from sitting. I ended up standing for a while Wati kept swithching chairs between the stool & the high chair. Shannen was like shaking her legs more often. Hahahaha! Signs of restlessness. And the best part was that Fadil & Hashim left to relax outside of Timbre because they also couldn't tahan the heat, loud music & sweaty people drinking. Baik!

When I got back, I was totally beat. I think it was more of beat from sitting on that chair rather than any other type of tiredness. I really don't understand how people can tahan in that kind of environment. And on top of that, it was smokey & with people drinking. Imagine what kind of damage it can do to your skin. Man, that's bad....

Bumped out...

2007-06-29T23:39:00.000-04:00

Its like almost midnight and I can't sleep. Here I am, part lying on my lappy in my tanks, part snuggling under the comforters, typing away because I can't sleep. If anyone sees this, they wouldn't believe that its me.

Heading down to Timbre for Fad's gig. The monty crew will be there. Too bad I can't take pictures. My cam's not functioning & I've gotta fork out $200 to fix it. ARRRRGGGHH!!!

Anyway, yesterday, I was out with Herbie. He was just plain bored & I was back from the Olympus office, regarding my camera that's NON-FUNCTIONING.

Anyway, back to where I was, Yes, Mr Giant. When I walked by him, there's like a gap between us, in terms of height. And I had to speak slightly louder because I'm way down here while he's way up there. So I ended up having to speak louder. People might look at this little malay girl walking together with this GOLIATH next to me but I couldn't care less. Just enjoyed my company with this fantastic fella.

But what really got my blood boiling was when we were at Coffee Bean Paragon. He was accompanying me while I was waiting for my mom. Told him that it was not necessary for him to stay with me while I waited for my mom but him being a gentleman, wouldn't leave me. Anyway, back at Coffee Bean Paragon, when I was getting a seat while he got himself a drink, he told me that there was a group of female waitress was laughing at both of us when we got in. Maybe they were telling a joke & we coincidentally walked in the cafe. I don't know. So I'll just leave it at that. But when he told me that something fishy was going on over the counter, as if they were talking about us. Maybe they thought that we were couple. Herbie told me that when they took his order, the girls were being overzealously polite. Get the hint? Well, Herbie being Herbie, he's calm as ever... But even so, its not as though that they've never seen a couple with different races? Hello?! Singapore is a multi-racial country with the highest rate of mixed marriages. DUH?! *eyes rolling*

So does that mean that over those periods where I've studied with Lawrence at the library, people might think that we were a couple? Is this why Herbie kept telling me to quit hidding behind Lawrence while studying in the library?

Maybe I've been alone way too long. Not seeing anyone or having attempts in opening my radar. That is why I'm plain oblivious to the environment around me. And I can't get the slightest hint about any guy who tries to get my attention. Like I've said, just a plain GUN when it comes to these kinda of things.

My camera died on me

2007-06-26T12:10:00.000-04:00

Here I am, typing away at 12mn. Something terrible has happened. My cam died on me. For no apparent reason. Been trying to get it to work but it can't. Which means that I've gotta go & sent for a fixing. I'm so irritated by it. Looks like for this weekend, I've gotta rely on my hp cam, which has a 2.0 mega pixel. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Waiting for Herbie's call. He said that he'll call me after my Criminal Minds. And he's not calling me yet... Hmmm... Maybe he fell asleep on the couch? Or maybe he himself is watching something good on tv. Or maybe he's playing this xbox. Deeply engrossed in his game. Let me tell you something, that guy can practically glue himself to his games alright. ;)

Won't write much for now. Still thinking of my cam. AAARRRGGHHH!! Hey, I love that fella alright. How could that happen to me. Its finishing is one of the best. And its so compact. Just as I was thinking of bringing it for Sat's show @ Timbre...

Alright people, gtg. Chao!!!

Growing Up

2007-06-25T10:33:00.000-04:00

Does it mean that we have to be responsible in our thinking?
Or does it mean that we are given the opportunity to do some responsible thinking? Which is it?

I'm not only talking about parents giving us the opportunity to learn. It applies to boyfriends, girlfriends & friends too.

If we as kids are sheltered too much from our parents, I doubt we'll be learning some learning experiences. Don't tell me that you'll seek refuge at your parent's place whenever there's problems? Life experiences is hard but there's no easy way out. Without it, don't you think that they'll ever call it life experiences.They say, learn from mistakes. But as an individual with the brains given by god, use it. It has to be a reason why its there. Some mistakes are just plain JACKASS stupidity. Others, well, it's unavoidable. Which is why, as an individual, gauge yourself. Know your limits. Set your boundaries. Choose your company wisely. These are the only thing that will mould you to what you are. Coupled with proper guidance from your parents & your teachers, you'll be a great individual.

I have to say that I'm blessed that my parents are very supportive of what I do. And I thank them for loving me when I'm very sick & when I'm fit. And now that I'm older, I feel that my parents have successfully brought me up well. Its funny how they inculcate certain values & morals into me when I was growing up. And somehow, it helped moulded me into what I am today. I do am grateful to have them as my parents. I thank them for allowing me to make mistakes too.

I feel that right now, as an individual, I have to say that things are given to me from a different perspective. Its like photography, where if you shoot from a different angle, you get a different lighting. Its the same as you see things right now. When I look at my life right now, I feel thankful for Darwin for letting me go. Thanks for letting me learn some things which I doubt I would have learnt if it didn't happened. As for Hezwan, well, thanks for being such a gentleman. After loads that had happened to us, you're still talking to me. All these falls into the boyfriends category where mistakes would have to be learnt without any shelter. It helps in making a stronger, wiser, sensitive yet emphathetic individuals.

My friends have also made me what I am today. They say that the friends that you made in your teen years are the ones who'll turn out to be friends for life. And you know why, these are the people whom you've spent most your time with while you were growing up. After all those hours of togetherness resulted to a bond that's like super glue with industrial strength. It definately develop you somehow. Maybe developing a concern for someone, the need to have a sense of belonging, the ability to tackle a rough spot tacfully or the toughest one being breaking them any bad news or advising them on some sensitive issues. Hopefully these can be a guide for upcoming life's expectations.

I've always say that I'm fat & ugly, so that's why there aren't guys going go-go ga-ga over me. I have to say that guys, well, after mixing long enough with them, they are the aesthetic people. Think of sex & you get the picture. What's on the inside is not a major concern. Sometimes, when I'm with my guy friends, they'll endlessly tell me that its unbelievable that I can't get attached for the past 4 years because they say I am chatty, friendly & talk with sense. But when I look at it, its more like they just like my company. That's all.

And right now, when I think about getting attached again, I'm afraid. Afraid that I'll make the same mistakes again. Sometimes you try your best to not repeat the mistakes but it happens, no matter how hard you try to avoid it. I feel that if i'm attached, I'll turn into this horrid witch who's very authocratic. I'm afraid I might be too possesive. I'm afraid that I would not be sensitive towards him. I'm afraid that I might not spent enough time with him. I'm afraid I can't meet him during my busy schedule. I'm afraid that he might not like the real me. The me when I'm sick or in my nonsensical self or pms-ing period. I'm afraid that I might be burdening him.

I don't know, maybe I should give myself a chance, give love a chance. Its still out there...

Funny that things can't be ceteris paribus

2007-06-22T06:43:00.000-04:00

After talking to Herbie, it made me realise how a GUN I am when it comes to guys. Yes, its apparent to all that I'm chatty, very easy to talk to guys. Ya, that's one thing. But to a guy who u've grown interest with, that's when I'm a little SHY. Yes, its hard to believe that I'm shy. But its true...

It looks like Herbie has been trying a new plan to GET ME ATTACHED. He is the sweetest guy ever. Ever since I've been studying at the library, he has been trying to get me to quit hiding behind Lawrence so that a guy will come forward to me. And to make it worst, you wouldn't wanna know what I wore whenever I go studying. Tees with berms or capris or jeans & my Crocs. That's about it. Nothing more. Super slack.

Anyway, the other time, when a guy starts a conversation with me, well, initially I thought that he was just asking out of courtesy. But it seems that this fella's friend's been promoting him in our conversations. And its just now that I'm realising it. SUPER THE GUN I really am. After talking to Herbie, well he said " Come on lah, take the chance. Its not as if some guy would fall from the sky for you. There's no harm in getting to know a guy better. "
In some ways, what Herbie said is true. I'm not gonna correct him . It seems that even though I've known him for about a yr, he knows me better then any guy I've ever known. He's like the guy version of Amu. The fella who I can read between his laughter, look, lines & anything that you can think of without a single peep coming out of his mouth, He's sweet, great & damn tall... Girls, if your single & at least 1.7m, contact me so that I can intro you to this sweet guy...

And apparently, because now that both of us are free, he is devising a plan for me to date. I've given up ways for him to stop the plan but it doesn't work. So I just give up. Whatever goes, goes. If people ask, I'll just say that someone who is very concern about me is trying me to set up with a guy. Can't stop it cuz whatever ways I've tried, there's no way because he's big, tall & persistent.. And he has his ways to get it done even if I say no. He told me that we should look it like this, a favour. He's just concerned. That's all...

Funny how things work out. Back then, I've tried to get some of my gfs, who were single then, to get to know some of my guy friends. Now, its me on the receiving end. Now I know how it feels. Anxious, shy & nervous. That's all.. Nothing much...

I know that my previous entry says that I like things ceteris paribus but look at it now. Nothing is constant. Ha...

Lazying away on my bed with my lappy...

2007-06-21T10:04:00.000-04:00

Lying on my bed,typing away. Yes, finally gotten the lappy. Of course I'm glad. Totally over the moon. Right now, just happily updating my blog...

If you ppl are wondering how my trip to Cameron Highland/KL went, oh well. It went splendid. I finally gotten my Mac powder. Super glad. And from what I've used since, its better than ZA. Less oily. Even the make-up guy told me about my oily skin condition. And when I used the MAC, well, lets say that there's less sheer, aka less oily.

What else did I get from KL? Souveniers for my frens, another Jodi Picoult book (Harvesting the Heart) & a Dorathy Perkins pants which was on sale. Didn't have any tops that I usually bought from Dorathy Perkins. That was from KLCC actually. Then at the lorongs, I bought more tudungs which I was running out off, some more souveniers for my frens who wears tudungs. And that was about it. And I kind of regretted not buying this top from Padini. Nah.. Its alright. There's always JB.. :)
So far, I'm only booked to go out with my crew on the 30th of June for a show @ Timbre. Yes, another one of YouthWreck's show. And 7th of July for TRANSFORMERS (ROBORTS IN DISGUISE). I'm glad that things are way back to normal between me & Fad. Long story. But things are back to normal.

Its without a doubt that I'm loving my crew loads. Yes, I may not be seeing anyone but I'm enjoying my freedom. I love it loads.. Half the time, I'm usually down at the library, studying. Locking myself up & letting the books & notes eat me up. Don't worry, I'm not a geek. Just having a variety of hobbies which are just on the opposite sides of a spectrum. The last time I was at the library, studying, Lawrence gave me a 411 on shares. From time to time, we'll be looking up the poems webbie and he'll be teaching me one or two things about shares. I was a downright gong-gong blur queen about shares. But now, hey, I do know a thing or two.. All thanks to Lawrence & staring at his Mac. And seeing him decide on whether to buy r sell shares.. :) And the occasional periods where sometime I feel like throwing him off the window whenever he says that he might fail, before he even sits for the paper... So sakit hati lah sometimes. Such great motivation eh??

When I'm not with my classmates, most of the time I'll be filling my time with my lovable gfs, sistaz & my crew. Nothing special. Gheez!! Imagine if I was attached, AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Things would have been different. I doubt that I would be as happy as I am today. Right now, its all ME, MYSELF & I. Nobody to bug me, except for my parents who'll just ask me where I'm heading to when I'm making my way out. That's about it. Other than that, nah.. I can happily leave my house or even the country without anybody bugging me. Just liking the way things are right now and I hope that things will stay like this for the time being. They say it in latin, ceteris peribus....

Exams are over !!!!!!!!!

2007-06-11T22:19:00.001-04:00

Exams are OH-VA!!!!

2007-06-11T21:49:00.001-04:00

Exams are over! Exams are over! Yahoo Yahoo-hoo

Ok, officially a nuts. I think I've always been a nut. Hee! Hee! Hee! It seems that right now, I'm in my happy mood... Oh happy day...

Here's some shots that was taken when we( Sha, Lawrence, Jun & myself) went to catch Shrek 3 yesterday, right after our paper ended. When the paper was over, we piled into Pakcik's car.

I was smiling ear to ear when we made our way to the carpark because I was very confident of this paper. Plus, the communication question came out. The exact same question that was asked in yr 2 promo exams. And somehow, the answer was EMBEDDED in this thick round organic living thing underneath my skull. So, all I had to do was press the invisible 'retrieve' button & had the answer written within seconds...

The show was HILARIOUS!!! And I thought I laughed loudly, Pakcik was worst. He's like the loudest. So I wasn't embarassed when I loudly, because I know that I won't be the only one... Perks of laughing, man. Total therapy....

Went for dinner at Mac cuz the foodcourt was closing. And as usual, the Sharifa & I kena disturbed from start to begining... Alright, I'm used to pakcik, after all those hours of mugging together in the library. So, can tahan. To the extent that once he criticised me on my driving skills that before I could say anything,we went like 'I know what you're gonna say. Alright! Alright... (Losing the battle kinda way)'. Hahahaha!

Back to my blogging. Enjoyed myself yesterday at the picnic with 'Mum' & Fad's gig later on. There was so much to eat. And i brought my jelly. Beloved jelly of mine that I made on Wed afternoon. Cuz right now I'm using pakcik's MacBook, so I can't upload my pix on my hp. Will do it asap once I can get my hands on my comp at home aight..

Later on after the picnic, Nor drove Wati & I to PS for Fad's gig.. Enjoyed myself laughing with Ma' Crew.. All night..Hehehehe!!! Private joke. All thanks to Fad!!

And ya, thank goodness Fad took that extra bottle of mineral that I brought along with me. He lightened the weight of my bag which for your info, already consist of certain notes from school. When I told him, "Hey! I've got an extra bottle of Ice Mountain in my bag" you should see the look on his face. Super grateful look. I mean, at the rate that he was sweating & wiping his sweat, I'm not surprised that he won't go into dehydration soon.. And as I've told Adrian, we should get him a towel on his b'day.. Already we can see that he wore the guitar strap that we gave him for his b'day so we can see that he loves it

Alright my dear people. I've gotta go from here. When Sha came over to ask something about the computer misuse act, just makes m have the urgency to get back to my work. Chao!

Slight Panic Attack....

2007-05-29T00:44:00.000-04:00

Sitting in the library, doing my 2.1 and suddenly, it occurred to me, my exams is next week... And I've officially been thrown into the brink of INSANITY...

Anyway, here I am, doing my school work diligently & I'm thanking my smart ass that I'm taking 2 papers this sem.. Ans I'm going to take 2 papers again for next sem.. Smart & wise me. And next sem, its going to be law & taxation... The taxation is the killer paper.. Just hope that I can do it. Praying hard that I can do it...

I think I better stop here. Can't think much.. Friday is the day that I'm going to get my Mac powder & going to Fad's gig later on.. And Sat, I've got a show at D'Marque... Hehehe!!! Exams is on Monday & I'm out... But I intend to mug on Sunday too.. Alright. GTG!

MUACKZ!!!!

Back on the MacBook

2007-05-14T01:18:00.001-04:00

Let me start by saying that the only time I get to use the comp is when I'm totally free at home or when pakcik goes off to his lunch appointment. And this is one of then again. Here I am, blogging away when Pakcik's out.

Anyway, my week had been pretty amazingly packed.. Had class on Thurs night with Sharifa. By the time I got back, it was about 11.15pm. Super duper tired the next mrng that I woke up at 11.15am.. Just wasn't in any proper mood to study something heavy like change control procedure. So I did my maintenance essay instead.

But before that, I met up with Noryn for lunch. It was nice seeing ya again on Friday. Missed you loads. My schedule's been pretty tight cuz i usually do my revision from 10.30 till abt 5 or so, with breaks in between. Anyway, met Noryn during her lunch break. Chatted about stuff & left ard 1 cuz Lawrence was already waiting for me at the library.

Saturday was WILD WILD WET day at Downtown East. Got there ard 2 or so & left at 6.30 or so. This expalins why I'm having a slight tan on me right now... Liking the colour loads but it gets even out pretty quick. So this tan is on me for about a week max..

While my sis & I played ard the park, my mom had her advance Mothers' Day treat. She spend her time there lying on the lazy chair, sleeping... Maklumlah, org dapat bonus 6.7 bulan.. Enjoyz le.... But she deserved it alright..

Anyway, met a lifeguard who caught my attention while I was there. He saw me & did a double take on me... Maybe it was because of my pink top? Or maybe is because if something else.. Well, let it be a wonder to me.. All I know was that I caught his attention & I enjoyed it...

Sunday was sleeping day. My arms were killing me from all that stroking & swimming.. And yes, its still aching right now... Did some cleaning & eating while I was home.. And the later part of it was watching TV... They had nice movies on cable because of mothers' day..

Anyway, on Friday, when I was back from the library, I got myself avocado milkshake. And there's only 1 person on this very earth that I want to get that drink with. And that's with Jo... We both LLLLUUUURRRVVVVVEEEEE avocado juice.. It's all green & doesn't look appetizing but its WONDERFUL! Why is it that all good stuff doesn't look interesting but once you've got it... WOW!!! Just like heaven...

And Jo, if your reading this, we both should make arrangements to meet. My exams are over on the 11th of June.. We should meet up & catch up on stuff... Yes I'm reading your blog whenever i'm online & kiss Jed for me. He looks so irresistible.

Gotta get back to my advantages of waterfall model.. I'm still looking for that high & low.. Thanks Herbie for letting me know where to find it!

Sitting in the library & blogging with Lawrence MacBook

2007-05-09T23:52:00.000-04:00

It been a super duper long while since an entry been entered. Here I am, blogging..

Alot has happened since. Things are back to normal with my crew.. And Fad has been calling me often to ask about the crew.. All I said was that I'm down with school. Yes I'm down with school. Just the other day, Amu asked me for Girls' Night Out but I turned down the offer... There's so much to do with so little time... And she asked me to go clubbing for girl's night out??? She's officially nutz!! Totally!! Orang kat sini ncm nak pengsan belajar, dier kat situ hurray hurray.... That's my Amu... Nutz as always...

Thank goodness I'm completing my notes for 2.1. It seemed never ending.. Mcm nak habis kan the outline is super bercinta.. But I'm finishing it soon... Really glad that it's gonna end soon...

Today is the 10th. First paper is on the 4th June, which is in abt 4 weeks time. Yesterday, while mugging with Lawrence, he asked me 'What if we fail 2.1?' I felt like throwing him off the library floor to ceiling glass window when he asked that.. Kiter kat sini mugging mcm nak rak, trying NOT to fail & there he is, asking me what if we fail this sitting... Imagine how irritating it is... Chek mcm nak bagi aje...

Anyway, my classmates are fun as usual.. Herbie is as usual, HERBIE? He a car... Sha, well we had our times.. Maybe it be mugging or out shopping.. Just the other day, we went to catch Spiderman 3. Imagine this, the cinema was only occupied on the last 3 rows in th centre column. And we were the only 2 souls on the whole row.. Yes, it was that deserted. But as usual, we had fun.. And as usual, sempat shopping.. Khekhekhekhe!!!!

To all my readers, sorry for the delay in the entry.. Been busy.. And to those who see me on MSN, don't click on me unless I change my status to online. I WILL NEVER CLICK ON YOU... Like it says there, MINIMUM DISTRACTION REQUIRED....

Last but not least, what I got from a book...

Things have been a little all over the place.. Thur's class was so packed, totally saturated... School's been alright for the fact that my lecturer's been reminding/pressurising us that exams are around the corner even though the paper is on 4th June.. Yes, 4th JUUUNNNEE!! Which is in a month's time...

Gotta keep a new regime for myself on weekends.. Maybe I can always start a new hobby, try fighting all those malicious activities that's in my comp.. FIGHT THOSES VIRUSES!!! Those problematic 'germs' that's forever bugging your comp.. Let it be a worm or a trojan, they are the culprit to all those slow processing or the break down of your comp... AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!

Gonna take my lunch right now... Chao!!!

PS: Sis, go & talk it out with him...
PPS: Jo, when are we going out to take that pix that's missing from my mosiac of photographs???

If a picture paints a thousand words...

2007-04-13T08:05:00.000-04:00

That's me fully engulfed by my favourite book

What I saw after school

What I saw while I was on my way to school... And yes, its at that longkang next to the train station at my place....

A shot that was taken on a super curly hair day...

This was the basket that was given to mom, upclose....

My bestfriend is Noryn Mikimoto

2007-04-07T06:05:00.000-04:00

Wati, Shimah, Noryn, MisS_D & MuM... Check out the basket... Nice right? Just like the arranger (yours truly)...

Had a fantastic time chilling with the girls yesterday.. Mum brought us out for lunch... Very fun sticking with people who just knows u too well...

Anyway, for the record, we just found out that Noryn is part Japanese... Cucu kepada Puan Mikimoto.. Khekhekhekhe!!! Laugh laugh laugh all you want... FYI, it was dubed to her by Mum..

Gonna put the pix in here.. And the arrangement was done by your truely, MisS_D...

About Fahmy & Me, I think I'm gonna stop it... Some gut feeling thing tells me that it won't work out... Won't deny the fact that I'm scared.. REAL scared... So, yah... Backing off sounds good....

Shares At STI

2007-03-30T21:51:00.000-04:00

My week had been like the shares at STI.. One minute up next minute down.Without a doubt that it's been like a roller coaster ride, instead of just a few minutes, this ride took a couple of days...

Monday morning, well it rained. At the wrong time & at the wrong place.. Why time & place you say? It was 7 am, sending my sis to school. And at 7am is the time where all the public lights go off. So imagine all the lamp-post lights off. And then came this HEAVY pour, like super HEAVY. The moment I turned into my sister's school gate, the rain went like 'BRRRRAAAUUUSSSSHHH!!" I turned to my sis & she went like, 'WOW, best nye!!'.. I replied her with the OMG look...

After I dropped my sis off, I was telling myself, HOW ON EARTH AM I GOING TO DRIVE IN THIS WEATHER????? I'm serious about the severity of the downpour.. I couldn't even see what's in front of me. My nose merely kissing the windscreen & I used other cars highbeam as a guage of distance... I'm telling you, I couldn't see nuts... When I turned into Chai Chee Lane, I was asking myself whether I should park the car at one of the blocks at Chai Chee & wait for the rain to stop before going back.. But I told myself, No D, You can DO IT!!! All I did was continue my drive home at a rate of 20kmph & was so blessed that I got a lot at home at that hour.. Gathered all my things & dashed out from the car to the void deck & locked it. Thank god I got home safe.

Drove to school that day.. And nobody told me that parking was 3 bucks instead. So there I was digging for the extra dollar in my bag in the car...

In class, my lesson was boring. Just a boring topic out of HR.. Some technical procedures for recruitment.. If not for Jun's complaint regarding the school, I would have just dozed off on the desk..

After class, got home, showered & went out again. Pick my Sis from school. Ordered pizza as our dinner... Waited for both our pizzas & parents at the same time... The pizzas came earlier.. Ate for about 10 mins before dad called informing that he & mum have already landed... Finished up our last pizza on the tray & grabbed the keys & left for the airport..

At the airport, drive was smooth except for that Subaru WRX who was speeding & almost killed me.. That fella was going at 100 I think when entering into T2 arrival pick-up point lane. I'm telling you, I was signalling right cuz I was at the departure drop off lane, so I needed to go to the next lane.. Doing this slow cuz up front was the bend & it says 50, which means ppl should slow down. So I signalled & before I could go into that lane, this SUBARU WRX went WWWWOOOAASSSHH!!! Obviously I went WTF???!!!!!! Crazy fella!! Alright, I was just damned pissed at him.. So acty with his car & gf...

Then, here comes the best part, my dad was waiting for me in front of that car.. I didn't put on the hazard lights cuz I was just so angry & totally forgot. I squeezed in front of him. Stopped the car & dad loaded the trunks.. And then, there was this Mazda who was also trying to squeeze between me & that Subaru. That Subaru was sangkut already. And the best part, cuz I stopped to near to the car in front of me, dad had to reverse a little.. That made the Subaru Super Sangkut.. Padan muka.. Ah! Ambik kau.. Nak sangat cepat2 kan. Sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah juga. Ok, the English one is Haste Makes Waste.

Tuesday, went to catch Mr Bean's movie. Its hilarious. I just really enjoy the part about the pass & he drew a picture of him & the kid.. OMG!! I coudn't tahan my laughter then..

Later that night, I don't know what got into me but I saw Fahmy online. So I clicked on him.. Yeah, we chatted about stuff which I just kept it light. But when he called me, I started a different game plan.. First & foremost, I have to say that it wasn't intentional for me to do it. Its like a game you see. To keep myself from hurting because knowing his stature as someone who's quite popular, I told myself that its something like merger aquisition... Doing something that might work but has a high risk to it. So, instead of me being polite to him whenever he complimented or flatter me (which i guess has an ulterior motive), what I'll do is to question him back. Just those word games where you can twist the words around. Stuff like that. In a way, it sorta make him come back for more. He himself is quick witted & intelligent. So, 2 CAN play the game.

Wednesday was such a mundane day cuz I was home doing some school work. And at night I had class. Fahmy did ask me out on that day but I told him that I've gotta study & we could go on some other day instead. It might sound self centered but hey, I've got school & he doesn't :) We talked on the phone that night & it was filled with again, more mind games. But this time, I think I've let my guard a little down so I played the polite game instead. Lazy to think.. Its tiring alright, after class & all..

Thurday was school day. That Pakcik Takeshi so action you know.. He said that he can wake up for the morning lecture but then his batang hidung pun tak menjelma in class. And at 10 am or so, he told me that he snooze his alarm & he went back to sleep.. Woke up at 10. Best lah that fella... Halfway, I didn't reply his msg cuz I was in class. And you know what he said in that msg. NUDGE! Whah! He thinks that we're on MSN is it??? Crazy lah that fella.. He picked us ( Sharifa & Myself) after class for lunch.. Went to Bedok Corner to makan his Nasi Padang.. That fella tgh mengidam-idamkan paru... Since Fri, when I was watching a movie.. That guy, really ah, kelakar..

Over lunch, we talked about stuff but mostly relationship stuff. How both Sharifa & himself so badly wanna join Herbie & my club. They said that they missed it so much. And my conclusion was that, because Sharifa's bf character is somewhat similar to Pakcik's gf character, I said that they ought to end up together. Just saying this without any meaning & no intentions or hard feelings taken. Kesian lah diorg. I tgk, asyik2 kena report strength. Haiz!!

Later after lunch, we went to East Coast Mac Cafe.. There even better... Laugh here, laugh there. Once in a while, having fun with your classmates after school is fun. Something like destressing.

Once I got home, I showered & slacked to the max until I got a phone call to go for a movie on Fri. Which was what I did on Friday. Caught 2 movies. Chermin staring Deana Yusof & Stomp the Yard staring Ne-yo & featuring Chris Brown... Indeed both were nice movies..

Aight there ppl, I think you all can see why my week has been crazy.. So, that's all folks!

REquirements

2007-03-23T03:37:00.000-04:00

Can anyone please tell me of a way of making your hair grow faster???? PLEASE!! No, no extensions or wigs. Just wanna make my hair grow faster.. That's all. Keep telling it to GROW! GROW! GROW! If you can see, my short hair days are just over... Nope, no more short hair D... Just long ones for me right now... I think that after the braces are all gone, I ought to become more feminine, starting with my hair... Speaking of hair, I'm suppose to go threading soon.. My brows are shooting at all directions.. Hehehe!!!

My parents are not in for the weekend, which means that I have the car... And unfortunately, I've got no one to go out with.. Everybody's busy with stuff... So I guess I'll just sit at home, keeping pace with my revision, watch DVDs & having the humble net to myself....

My lecturer Mr P. Woo is constantly BUGGING & NAGGING at us for every lecture.. Come on lah, at least for the first 1/2hr... Lawrence will not be recording that part of the lesson for sure... And speaking of that PAKCIK Takashi, ghez, he got the top score for our test. Which means he owes me makan.. A ride is a norm. He'll drop me off if its along the way after we do our revision... But he definately owes me makan... That pakcik is nice lah.. Too bad he's attached. And what's worst is that he only scores 3 out of 4 of my basic requirement in a guy.. He's short.. Too bad lah eh...

What's my requirement you ask? Well, Herbie said that its not that hard to find but I beg to differ...

They are;

1) Older than me
2) Tall (1.8 & above)
3) Doesn't ride a bike
4) Doesn't smoke

4 simple steps which I think is SUPER impossible...

I've gotta chao for now... Have lunch.. To all, happy lunching!

Debunking myth about Managrial work by H.Mintzberg

2007-03-20T23:50:00.000-04:00

Things had been a little out of control lately... Why is that so you ask?

Well one thing for sure is that I've been extremely busy with school. Tests & exams coming around the corner... Having my lecturer constantly telling us that we've got to start preparing already. And seeing Herbie starting his revision is driving me nuts. I feel that whenever I look at Sharifa, Herbie, Jun & Lawrence, I definately feel the pressure. You can sort of say that its something like peer pressure but this is on the other end of the spectrum where its not about doing any wrong doings. Its just that when you see everyone starts to mug, you tend to mug too.. Which is good... But let me tell say something, its crazy..

What's ironic is that these are the people who appear most on my text msges, dialled numbers & received calls in my phone... And suprisingly, its the same of most of us... Haiz! That's the thing when it comes to being local student in a class where at least 70% of the class are non-locals. We locals tend to stick to each other. Somewhere somehow....

Being with them is great. It just amazing how things turned out after we all were hit by some hardship.. We definately became closer.. All of us. Sharifa is like my only gf in school. We usually go shopping after our morning class. Hehehehe!! And for the rest of the guys,they are very easy going. I have guys telling me not to say certain stuff to their gf. Having some heartfelt conversations which are definately an eye opener. Its amazing how other people's mind works...

Enough about my school life. Right now, one thing for sure is that Fad hates me.. Yes, due to some slenge mistake that I've done. Sis told me to IGNORE. But I feel bad about it.. Seriously I do. And for some reason, I'm angry. Cuz he said that it would not affect the crew. But look at it now. Just sad & angry.. Sis has been telling me to give him time & ignore the matter for the time being. But hey, I really missed them.. Their crazyness. Honestly, it was them who kept me sane during the revision period last semester. AAAAARRGGGHHH!!!

Gonna stop here... Mintzberg & Handy are calling me........

REflecting

2007-03-02T22:45:00.000-05:00

New Found Friends - ACCA manuals

My Brand-new Crocs.. All thanks to Ma' Crew

Reflecting... They say, words spoken at the heat of anger are not words from the heart... Somehow, what I said to Fahmy, well... I kinda regret it. I believe in karma; what goes around comes around. I HATE burning bridges. And I told myself that I won't blow my top off. BUT... Yes, that's the BIGGEST contradicting but ever... I mean, one minute he's hot, the other his cold.. So I just got so mad that the sarcasm & mean button went off.. Like 100% off.. I hate playing games...

Seriously, I didn't want any 'fahmy-ism" thing hold me back. I've got my school work to think abt... And my classmates are just fantastic... I can't imagine that one fine day, we'll all be CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS... Yeah, this wasn't the my ideal course but it somehow is linked to what I've always wanted to do. Be my own boss... Yes, I wanna earn big. Not just a financial controller but big in a way that I've done it on my own way kinda big. I want my mini-cooper s convertable big.. Yes, I love that car. But have anyone seen the price tag on it? $100,000++ for the car.. Yes, I so very have to earn big bucks to get it...

Ma' Crew, can say that we've not met up for quite some while. I guess everyone's busy with stuff. For those in school, its the assignment, test, reports & soon to be exams period. But for those working, its the financial closing period. So annual reports would have to come in... As for me, I guess everyone's so into the whole exams mode already. In 2 months time, the revision month kicks in & everyone, I mean, EVERYONE will be in super stressed exams mode... I will totally be in my tees, berms crocs & backpack mode.. With not a tinge of make-up on & not giving a damn of how my hair is. I will sit & do my work for at least 4 hrs with 15 mins break every 2 hrs.. Honestly, time passes by so fast while ur doing ur revision. One minute its 1pm, the next, its 5pm.

The best thing that will ever be is to hang out with the crew on weekends. That was what happened last November.. Yes it was my revision month but I had a great fun with my crew on weekends.. One week was jalan raya, the other was chilling at Esplanade. Another was a gig... Well... Had super fun with my crew...

But right now, its just my classmates for now. Not much time spent with others. Phone's going on & off. One min talking to Sharifa & the next min, Lawrence will call me on my hp.. That or Herbie's smsing me regarding something... Speaking of Herbie, I had a great pleasure talking to him on Mon night.. We spoke till like 3 am Tues mrng. Well, he's a great big fella who's always tekan-ing me or Sharifa abt something. He's like the 2nd Lawrence. Just mischievious in disturbing both of us. Oh.. Just loving school right now...

So, as you all can see, nothing is in my agenda except for school & ma' crew.. If you've noticed, relationships aren't in it. People have hinted to me that I should 'test market' with someone specific but I sold myself short. Nah. I feel that we're better off as friends even though he's alright. Plus, he's exs are all pretty.. I just don't fall in that category... For those who are saying, Come on D, every girl is pretty in their own way, let me say that a) Guys only like girls if they are both wonderful on the inside & the outside And b) They like me better as a friend. I feel that I'm just better being a girl's guy friend. Someone who can lend a shoulder when he breaks up with his gf. Give him advise on stuff. Laugh your heads off about crappy things.Seriously, if I wanted a guy, I would have started looking long time ago but I didn't. Like I've said before, got married to my books long time ago. But if Prince Charming comes along, I would just want him to compliment me.. Yes, that's it. COMPLIMENT ME. He'll fill up what I don't have & I'll fill up what he doesn't have.

I say stop yacking abt guys... Things happen when you least expect it...

Gotta get back to my work.. Tannenbaum & Shimcht is bugging me.. See ya ard..

PS: Caught The OC season 4 on YOUTUBE. It made me realised how much I'm missing Ma' Crew. So when are we going out to catch up on stuff????????????

Smacked That

2007-02-26T09:06:00.000-05:00

My day started out well after last night's uproar... Yes, I blew my top with Fahmy.. Smacked his butt like shit last night.. Seriously, I couldn't take it... Totally blew my top.... Yes, I did it... I went totally mean & sarcastic.... If he really felt it, SUPER OUCH!!!

Anyway, mrng with my classmates were great. We registered for CBE & had breakfast later. The 4 of us pilled in Lawrence's Suzuki Swift Sports & headed to Rahimah for out makan.... Although the food wasn't great, the food was... With Herbie, Sharifa, Wei Ping, Lawrence & myself... Laughing our hearts out...

Alright then... Gotta go now.. Having loads of work to do....

I'm staying out of it...

2007-02-25T00:27:00.000-05:00

I'm staying out of it... Seriously, just staying out of it...

While brushing my teeth this morning, I was staring at the washing machine that was running.. The laundry inside kept tumbling around again & again... And I asked myself, what is happening to me? Why is it always a tumbling & rumbling.

I think I'm blabbering some crap... Maybe I just miss the crew... Maybe having some kind of 'CREW DEPRIEVATION' syndrome...

Vivo with Amu

2007-02-22T20:31:00.000-05:00

Amu & I chilling @ Vivo

Been a while since I've blogged.... Been busy going to the beach, watching DVDs & catching horror movies in JB. Caught Ghostrider & Puaka Tebing Biru on Monday...

I went to the beach on 2 days which resulted to me having a nose burnt... Played softball with the rest.. It was great playing with my cousins... And I did managed to get a homerun... My uncles went fishing & one of their son caught a fish. Ikan pari... Comfirm balik masak asam pedas ikan pari.... WOW!!!

Went to Vivo with Amu on Wed... Neither of us had class on that day... Caught NORBIT... What can I say, if both of us were to watch any funny movies, we'll have a fit of laughter watching it... Just like Little Men... This time we laughed & laughed... Seriously, cannot tahan.....

Met someone new in my life lately.. Name's Fahmy... So far, so good. More is yet to come... Because he has work & I've got school, so far, we just talk over the phone for like 15 mins... After that, knock out... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......

Yesterday, my phone's been ringing again & again... And it took Lawrence, Herbie & Sharifa to call the school up to settle some admin matters that all 5 ( Lawrence, Herbie, Sharifa, Wei Ping & yours truly) of us are facing... So basically yesterday was a roller-coaster ride day for me... Only got onto MSN later at night... Met Fahmy online & he asked why did I go online so late... Before I could reply, he was offline.. FLY!!! Sms-ed him saying that he's like a biscuit.. Now you see it, now u don't.. He didn't reply me after a while so I told him that he's like a chocolate chip cookie... Once taken, gone & don't ever say that I'm guilty.....

I was so frustrated by him going on & off, talking to me & not talking to me that I just deleted his past msges on my phone.. The next thing I knew, he msged me back, "Call me in 5". There I was, waiting for 5 mins to pass by & when it just reached 2 mins, he msged be back. Saying " Call me now pls"...

So we talked for like 15 mins. Didn't take long cuz we both we tired. Me, having a a roller-coaster day while he was back from work, all tired & all... Said he'll call me again tonight... We'll see how things go... For now, its good.. Will update more. For now, ADIOS AMIGOS.....

Smoked By Noryn

2007-02-06T20:21:00.000-05:00

Adair, Blake & Mouton, Tannenbaum & Schmidt... I think I might just be blabbering... Just can't seem to do my notes on these people... The people who studies leadership.. I mean, yes, I can sit down & do my other topics but when it comes to leadership, oh my! The idea of me picking up my pen & do these questions is like a 200 tonne job.. I'm serious...

I'm quite shocked to see that Noryn has temporarily put a hold on her blog.. Initially I was figuring but after thinking for a while, I know why...

I finally got my phone fixed. It's all well & swell.. Well & Swell... Hhhmm... Why is it these couple of days I've been using that phrase often...

Anyway, was on the phone with Fad. Had a short chat with him regarding him kena 'smoke' by Noryn. Noryn dropped me the same msg too but she wasn't able to trick me.. Hahaha... Yes sis, I'm FULLY awake... When Fad got the msg/joke, he was so taken aback by the news that he called me, but I was alsleep. So he called Adrian instead. And after Adrian was being emphathetic towards Fad, he said, ' Fad, when's the date again? 29th Feb? Saturday? ... Sial lah Fad, we both kena smoke by Noryn sia....' When I was told abt it, I LAUGHED!! I got this part when I Fad gave me a callback in the afternoon. Kesian Fadil, Noryn smoked him habis-habisan, hangus berbaldi-baldi sey..... This joke thing really made me laugh man... Noryn, the quiet gal who Mat Scuba is after has 'smoked' Fadil & accidentally Adrian too... Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! (1 + 1 = 2 Emotional dudes)

This is the thing abt Ma' Crew... We are just so insanely MAD.. I know its the wrong expression to use these two words together back to back. Ok, maybe I might just be exaggerating but we are one cool crew... Wondering when we'll go for our next outing... Hhhhhmmmmm......

Gotta force myself to do the Leadership notes & Q&A... AAAAAAARRRGGHHH!!!

Big BLACK HOLE

2007-01-30T22:15:00.000-05:00

Woke up this mrng by my sister's alarm clock.. Send my sister off to school and been up ever since... Whenever I look at my Crocs, I feel like CRYING... Its giving way. Yes, I need another pair. But I've not decided on which model to buy. I love my Nile model.. Its the one with the open toe & it is only available at Marina boutique... Everytime I wear it & I tell them that it's Crocs, they'll tell me REALLY? That look. Its that often that you'll see this model being worn... I think you'll never guess what happened to my Crocs.. There's gonna be a HOLE soon if I continue wearing it.. Come on lah.. I practically wear it everywhere... School, driving, market, walks, WENT TO LANGKAWI & so forth. You can imagine how worn out it is... Its light, waterproof & comfy... My kinda thing...

Anyway, I was looking thru my old phone last night & I came across some old photographs & VERY NICE msges on it.. Apparently I've not deleted any of my old nice msges.. There are many sweet msges in there. And not forgetting A COUPLE of poems.. In fact, they were very sweet.. Hum....... Imagine how long the sender took to type that msg for me... When I double check against my other phone, it was like 3 pages long... (Yikes!!)

Gotta get back to some of my school work. My Infomation Systems module is driving me NUTS. Just the other day, Sharifa & I went to Mc just to finish up 1 diagram. And it took us 2 HOURS to complete it.. 2 HOURS!!!! Yes, its that complicated... Procees cannot meet with another process box... Blah blah blah!!!

Alright, gonna catch my fav Star Wars Episode on cable right now... Yes, I am a STAR WARS fan... A fact that only 2 souls in this world knows ( then, before I wrote this sentence) .......

2007-01-29T22:50:00.000-05:00

Sometimes, things are meant to happen... From whatever's that's going on right now, its more like a bomb ticking its way to explode.. Just waiting to happen... We knew that it was a big risk to keep it hushed.. Like like business, the higher the risk, the higher the returns...

Anyway, shall not dwell with it anymore. It happened. Its not as if I could back the hands of time... Just let it go.. Bro Fad will say, Buat bodoh sudah....

Been checking out my calender.. Wooohoo!! The long break is coming soon... Maybe will catch a few movies with my aunt at JB.. Will see how.. Just last Saturday, I was out with her & we caught 3 movies BACK TO BACK.. Anyway, it was just the 2 of us, so it totalled to 60RM for movies... We caught Hit & Blast, Kuntilanak & Syaitan... The 2nd movies is SCARYYYYYY.. SUPER one alright.. What do you expect from an Indon production...

I'm looking for a bag.. Puma carries nice Duffel bags. The ones that are large enough to fit my school notes & casual enough for me to wear it with my sneakers or my flats... It must look ok with both looks.. So far, some has caught my attention BUT, yes there's a big BUT... The colour are so GAH!!! So bright.. Its hard to match them when the colour's bright.. Still looking... So anyone out there has come across any black or blue Puma Duffel, do tell me where to get it cuz I badly need one...

My b'day's coming, which means, Valentine's Day is ALSO ard the corner... Nope, not seeing anyone so I'm striking that date out.. Just doing something for some ppl... That's all... And so far, I've not gotten any V'day orders... Hum....

Shutting myself up right now..

4 Guys Chillin'

The 3 Gals

Dinner at Vivo- The Chicken Rice Shop

My trip to Sentosa with the crew was AWESOME... What else can I say whenever I hang out with this crew, we ROCK!! Always!!

Let me start by saying that for the first time, the guys saw the gals' wild side on that day.. All along they thought that we were the prim & proper type... Always the quiet type. But when we played soccer, well... It was all 'HELL BREAK LOOSE!!' Soccer at Siloso was filled with Noryn's version of 'angkat bola', chemistry & physics between Mat & me, accidentally kicking Salleh's, Wati's & Noryn's leg, my 'invinsible' running & Din's never say die attempts to prevent a goal (deflected 5 times when attacked by Mat & myself) ... And I so very don't know how Salleh managed to change the word 'dongak' to 'dangok'... Trust that chap to twist the words around...

Later that night, had dinner at Vivo.. Went to The Chicken Rice shop... Had great fun.. Nor & I couldn't finish our portion so Mat & Din helped to finish our chicken.. Guys! Big EATAS!!! After dinner, we chilled at Vivo... Slacking & we threw Fad's Belated Suprise.. Gosh! Mr Grunge nearly came to tears.... Adrian threw in some cheese cake as the cake... BEST!!!

All in all, had an awesome time with the crew... Hope to spend more time with them... Loving them loads.....

I've done it

2007-01-18T20:05:00.000-05:00

Yes! I've done it.. After abt 5 mths of procrastination.. I know, I shouldn't be doing that but things were just complicated back then..

But now, it isn't. Its just so easy as picking up the phone & sms-ing... All hail Smart-Messaging-Service!! After all that procrastinating time & figuring what to say.. It all boils down to just saying thanks & sorry, all are fine & swell....

Just hope that things will go well from now on. Just keep believing that un-worked matters will work its way someway, somehow. Just have a little faith....

Alright.. Going off soon to Parkway. Getting that prezzie... Going for a run later...

Fancl Cosmetics

Telekung & Sajadah

Baju Songket

Wang Hantarannya--$6K (WOW! Chek org kaya sekejap bila kena buat duit tu)

This the season to be married, LALALALALALALALALA

Its been a crazy week for me since last friday... Just because my exams are over, everybody's asking me to help them with stuff...

I've got two weddings this month.. And my plans to paint my room is put on hold AGAIN... I intend to do up my room by Hari Raya Haji.. Hope I can do it up by then...

Haven't been out with the Weekend Crew for sometime now.. Been busy. For those with school, we're down with exams. I heard that we're going to somewhere for our next outing.. Somewhere they want to taste the food that we girls cook...

The weekend crew.. Well, its a bunch of us from sec school who meet up & hang out to chat & stuff.. A few weeks before my exams, I've been out with that crew for 3 consecutive Saturdays straight.. And each are for different agenda... Fad's gig rocked off well.. Suprise b'day for Nor was great. Hanging out with them at Coffee Bean East Coast was alright.. Can't wait to hang out with this crew againl... ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS gang...

In a way I'm just so glad that I'm not seeing anyone. I mean, seriously, I was able to focus 200% on my studies. No distraction at all. And I didn't have to report strength to anyone. Just go school to study & revise. Come weekend, went out with the crew. Without having to tell anyone abt my whereabouts. Imagine, if I was out with the weekend crew, I'll get interigated for seriously stupid reasons. I mean, I'm there to have fun with my friends, not to sulk abt things. Plus, my classmates are majority guys & there isn't much local students in class... So, we practically hang out together..

I've got to get out of here soon.. Take my shower & leave for Clementi. Got an appointment at 10am.. Wedding car... :) I'll write soon.... Muackz!

Its off

2006-12-01T04:20:00.000-05:00

Yes!! Its off... Finally... Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright... Enough D....

Been REALLY busy lately.. Other than hanging out with the weekend crew, my life's been OUTRAGEOUSLY alright...

Exams coming soon... Mugging like CRAZY... Revision class had been alright. But the last lesson had been, well... What should I say, DRAGGISH... Lawrence's head almost came off as a result of dozing off in class... Heeheehee... And I got a ride on his NEW WHITE SUBARU SWIFT SPORTS... And the way he drives... FLY!!! What can I say... Its a MANUAL... FEEL THE PICKUP MAN... I was like holding on to the seat belt for dear life.. And his chair had some sorta spring inside... Hehehehe... Kes org tido bleh bangun...

Speaking of the weekend crew.. You'll be wondering who on earth I'm refering to... It those guys with my Gfs.. Kecoh!! Two weeks back, we hung out at Esplanade till like 2 am... Catching up on stuff & all.. And I don't know how my chin-chau became chin-chai.... Donno donno...

Last week went to Fad's gig at PS... Rock on...

Aights... Back to school work...

2006-11-19T04:38:00.000-05:00

My gift to the bride

2006-11-19T04:37:00.000-05:00

Amelia & Me...

2006-11-03T22:04:00.000-05:00

I'm BACK!!! From don't where...

Alright alright.. I'm being crabby... Been super bz with Hari Raya.. With people visiting.. And my sister who's constanting hogging the net cuz of her trip to Egypt... And no, I'm not going.. GOT SCHOOL!!

Anyway, apart from hari raya, school's been pretty alright... W.E.F next week, I've got school everyday.. Due to revision classes & also my study group with my two heroes, Jun & Lawrence... Pretty funny group of trio I say... One who's constantly teasing me while the other will always ask me for sweets & stuff... The best part is that there's usually gonna be 3 cans of coke lite & 3 deuter bags on our row of desks & chairs... Class is always funny esp with the 'siao-sale' lady & the comical lecturer who will crack jokes along the way.. But I'll definately update if there's any REALLY funny incidents...

For next weekend, I hope that its gonna be one FUN weekend.. My dearest Sistaz & Bro Finur will be renting a MPV for jalan raya... Hopefully, our weekend turns CARZY... Will upload the pix if we have some.... Unfortunately, Fad & co can't join us cuz of work.. So we'll have to skip that bikes & cars convoy for this yr.. Quite disappointed that they couldn't join us... Maybe next year then....

Gotta chao! Toodles

And to ALL MUSLIMS

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN

Hari Raya is here again

2006-10-18T00:33:00.000-04:00

Hari Raya is here again.. And it means that I've gotta split myself into god knows how many pieces... And the fact that I'm shrinking right now, I really don't know whether I've got the stamina to do all those jobs...

My week, as usual, has been packed to the max. Other then school, I'm giving tuition. And the normal hari raya craze... Just last friday, I went for a pedicure with Jo... And Jo did a manicure with a shocking pink colour.. And it turned out pretty amazing.. Cuz of her fair skin...

After my day with Jo, I headed out to mom's place at Tamp... With Shimah & Wati.. Too bad Nor didn't join us cuz she was down with a flu. Had loads of fun catching up & stuff...

Saturday was super crazy day. Woke up late before going for tuition. Took a cab which robbed me 17 bucks.. After teaching, my dad came by to pick me up before heading to JB. Was really late when we got home..

Sunday, super short day cuz I had school...

Monday, went over to Wak's place at Tamp.. Made cookies with Hanis, Cik I & my sis.. In all, we managed to make 3 types within 7 hours.. And we had about 10 big bottles filled... And I went home with 5.... Got home ard 8 pm & I was super flat by the time I got home...

Tuesday, super short day cuz of school...

I finally got a replacement for my Eastpak bag for a Deuter.. Got it at a sale in school at 59 bucks... My sis got herself the super huge 55l backpack. And it cost her only 89 bucks... It was indeed a good deal... And she said that she's using it for her Cairo trip....

Alright people.. I've gotta go cuz of school... Till we meet again... Chao!

I have decided....

2006-10-09T21:48:00.000-04:00

I've made my decision to;

1) STOP procrastinating
2) CLEAN my room
3) Complete my NEVER ENDING schoolwork
4) FORGET ABOUT writting an apology e-mail
5) THINK OF SOMETHING to do after my exams
6) GET EXCITED for I am getting rid of my braces in Dec
7) Do some SERIOUS SHOPPING.... Clothes getting boring in my wardrobe
8) Go for my 3.5KM WALKS to EC
9) Look forward to my time SPENT WITH MY GORGEOUS GFs & CO
10) EXTERMINATE the word significant other in my vocabulary...
11) CHANGE my blogskin
12) ENLARGING my galleria
13) ELIMINATE my knowledge of BF

I declare myself insane as a result of crazy school load...

Uhm.... A banana muffin sounds theraputic....

I better stop right here before I start yacking nonsense....

Late nights...

2006-10-03T21:32:00.000-04:00

These past few days I've been hanging on the phone with my gfs, catching up & stuff... Just last night I was on the phone with Marli, my super old gf from my primary school days. Imagine that... Yups, I repeat, PRIMARY school days... Amazing how after all these years, we are still friends...

She called because she needed some help regarding what to get for guys... I was more of dumbstruck because a) I'm not seeing anyone b) I've got ZERO ideas... So gals, don't ask me what presents should you give a guy...

We've managed to brainstormed some ideas & we came up with some AMAZING ideas which both of us ended up laughing over the phones... The idea was totally outrages but it's fun & feasible. Nothing out of the ordinary. I mean, its everyday stuff but put in a loving romantic way... Hope it goes well....

Hope to catch up with my gfs soon cuz of the time thats passing by...

Need to have a haircut, manicure, pedicure & threading... The question is WHEN??? Been busy... Very busy....

Busy LADY outs!

2006-09-28T02:38:00.000-04:00

Took this shot when its all geared up

2006-09-28T02:37:00.000-04:00

The prezzie for Wati's B'day. Classic squeeze in Black & White

2006-09-28T02:35:00.000-04:00

All wrapped up

Outz

2006-09-28T02:09:00.000-04:00

You've guessed it right. Been stuck to my desk again... Busy... WIth loads of stuff going around me right now.... 2 weeks back, I went to catch Little Man with Amu... As usual, we laughed like when we were together back then in school. Then last Fri, went to Lau Pa Sat with Nor, Shimah & Wati.. Went to celebrate Wati's belated 22nd b'day. And they ALL loved their presents... Now everyone has that pic...

School's really bz. Getting LOADS of work... And the constant 'kacau-ing' that I get from Lawrence and Jun, who is acting like a 5 year old kid... Imagine a big kid asking me for Panda cookies... Yes, that's Jun for u... And as for Lawrence, he's constantly asking me wheter I'm LOST. At one point, while I was doing my calculations, I was rushing & the figure that I got from pressing the calculator turned out to be a 12 digit figure & all he did was LAUGH.. Ya I do agree that it sounds comical, u know after diligently pressing all the digits & the end answer turned out to be a 12 digit figure... And yesterday, when I looked lost because I was doing some calculations in the mist of the lecturer talking & explaining, he asked me again, "LOST?". And I said "No, I am not LOST." So that's classroom jokes that I get from these 2 guys. But nothing beats the other lady... The one who said SALES which sounded like SIAO... That is CLASSIC CLASSROOM COMEDY....

Its been fun being the baby of the class again. I mean, I'm surrounded by adults.. A huge grp of them acutally. And not forgetting the foreigners who brings with them bad behavior & ethics.. I thought I was the only one irritated by them but Lawrence was also too. Jun, well he puts things in a nice way... So, yeah.. There you go...

So, I think I better stop here...

The girl who's always sandwiched by 2 jokers signing off.........

Friends

2006-09-12T13:37:00.000-04:00

Just finished watching The OC a few mins ago. They were talking about college applications & stuff. But on the whole, it really touched on friendship. How, a true friend, will always be true to you.

I look at the last part of the show & it really reminded me of my other 3 sistaz... The ones whom I spent 4D3N doing alot of crazy stuff in Langkawi. When I look back at those times while we were still together in school, I never really thought that our friendship had lasted this long & I pray HARD that it'll stay as long as each of us has gotten a walking stick attached to our hands. I mean, real friends stick & stay with you thru thick & thin... We sucked together after sec school & I feel that we are closer right now then back then when we were in school.. I mean, its ironic because back then, we see each other EVERYDAY & now, we only meet so very often & our friendship is ever so close...

They always say that the friends that you make in secondary school are those who'll stay with you for the rest of your life. I have to agree with that. Just look at these 3 girls. And Jo.. I mean yeah Jo & I didn't attend the same secondary school but we met in Sec 2 & has been friends since...

Just grateful right now that I've got beautiful, wonderful & amazing friends who stayed thru me all those years... Thanks alot dearies!

While driving today, I realised the meaning of having a good pick up... So here goes, I LOOOOVVVEEE manual cars.. Yes, I do love them... Because I can easily get the pick up when I'm at the traffic light. And also, the gd thing abt manual car is that the driver is in control of the car because of the gears... Driver controls the gear therefore, driver controls the speed. So if u see a 1.5 or 1.6 litre car having a fast pick-up, then you know its a manual. But if you see a 1.5 or 1.6 litre going super slow.. Like having a slow pick up, then you'ld know that its an AUTO car... And that, my dear readers, why I don't like automatic cars.... LACK IN PICK UP... Yes, I confess that I'm a thrill-seeker... No doubt about that..... Now you all know why on earth I LOVE roller-coasters....

Been BZ

2006-09-10T01:24:00.000-04:00

Before I start my entry, my dad gave me a buzz. Asking me WHAT IS THE LASTEST FRAGRANCE FOR MEN??? The first thing that struck me was Polo Black.. And the Hugo that I really like.. And the other day, I really had a GOOD time laughing at my dad. Imagine this. My Dad, dressed up really smart & everything.. Going for a dinner at Mandrin. And walking into the music store to get DIO's latest album. For those who don't know who's DIO, its an 80's HARD ROCK METAL band... U see what I'm getting at? It really doesn't match...

Been glued to my desk all week. And at night, I've been so busy going for cultural shows etc. The word is BUSY. That's all. Nothing much...

And since I've been glued to my desk with school load, I've not gotten the time to go for my 3 km walk from East Coast. Yes, I'm that busy. When I was in Langkawi, I'm just grateful that I've done my walks often before leaving for Langkawi because when I was there, we had to do this walk. More of a HIKE. The hike is BAD! Imagine taking the stairs UP... Yes, it was TIRING!!

Since I've been yacking about my Langkawi trip, I might as well type my LANGKAWI TRIP JOURNAL, which is LONG overdued... Here goes....

(Guys, this is only half of it cus it can't fit the page)

Langkawi Trip
Thursday 25/08/06

At 5 pm, my dad drove my aunt & I to Lavender St for our bus to KL which was leaving at 6 pm. Unfortunately, as timely these M'sian transportation system can be, we were delayed. And if we were delayed, we might miss our bus to Alor Star. And at 7pm, the bus finally moved. And because we knew that we might miss our bus at KL, my dad gave a buzz to Cik Sadiah to help us get to Jln Duta bus station. And my goodness, I was so afraid that I might miss my bus to Alor Star....

Since the driver knew that he was running behind time, he sped. Yes, it was MADNESS!!! By 11.45, he dropped us at Sungai Besi Petronas Station, which is after the last toll before entering KL. When we arrived, Cik Sadiah was already there, waiting for us.
And she drove SUPER fast in her new Toyota 7 seater. And thank goodness, we arrived in time...

We were the last to board the bus after my aunt went to the ladies. Oh my! We were the last peeps to board. And our seat was right smack ion the center... Ok, so we got boarded & settled down. Took my shawl out & made myself comfy before sleeping.. And oh my goodness! We've been cursed to freeze in the bus again. The last time when I went to Trengganu, the same thing happened. And thinking that I've learnt my lesson, I wore double layer but it didn't work. So my aunt & I practically froze in the bus.

Friday
26/08/06
And we arrived at the bus terminal Sahab at 6 am. Went to the 'surau' to do my subuh. And the best part, we did our subuh twice. Because we thought that it was already subuh. But as we were leaving, we heard the 'azan' & we knew we had to do our 'subuh' again. Went back in to do our subuh & left. Had breakfast at the warong & waited for our bus. And exactly at 7am, we took the bus that was bound for Kuala Kedah. And as if we were cursed again, the bus was FREEZING again...
Once we arrived at Kuala Kedah, we bought the tix which was for the first ferry at 8am. The journey was 2 hr long. And WE WERE FORZEN again. And I left my shawl in my bag, which was with all the other luggages of the other passangers. So I just shut up & sleep, with a freezing butt...Took my brunch at a nearby eating place after doing some shopping with my aunt. She did some shopping once we arrived at Langkawi.. After the brunch, the guide came by to pick us up. We checked in at City Bayview Hotel. Checked in, showered & changed. And at 2pm, we started the tour starting with ;
1)Underwater World
2)Gamat Factory
3)Makam Mahsuri
4)Dataran Helang

We got back at 7.30pm or so... Unfortunately, there was a leaking in our room & we had to change our room... From 1202 to 1005. So our dinner with Nor, Itaw & Shimah was delayed. And they went shopping at their 'Geylang' while waiting for us....

After dinner, we, 5 gals, went to look for durians. And for the sake of durians, we went to look for them in at ard 9.30pm. And it was dark... Berani betul budak budak ni semua... Khekhekhekhe!!!! Too bad we didn't see any durians. But we went home with foodstuff...

Saturday
27/08/06

(From here on, i'm typing it straight from what I've written in my notebook)

Got up, showered, changed into my blue tank, prayed & went down for breakfast. And it was RAINING!!! Oh my, on the day that we were supposed to go for our SNORKELLING!!! Boon came by to send us to the ferry terminal. And we had this other tour to bring us to PULAU PAYAU.... And since there was alot of people and we wanted to get the guide attention, all my aunt said was ' Hey Mat Handsome, ferry kite mane?' and we got attention of the guides. Come on, 5 gals and one of them said Mat Handsome, it must have left an impact on them... Khekhekhekhe!!! It worked alright...

Initially Nor & I didn't want to do any scuba but somehow, my aunt & shimah were discussing about going for the dive. And when my aunt called one of the scuba guys, we ALL practically jumped into the idea & all of us agreed to do scuba diving on top of our snorkelling...

On the ferry to Pulau Payau, Itaw practically put on globs of TANNING LOTION while I put on globs of SUN BLOCK. We both took the opportunity to sun-tan. But guess who was more tan? ME? The one who put on SUNBLOCK!! And she, the one who put on TANNING LOTION, wasn't tanned at all....HAHAHAHA!! Funny how things worked out....

We were instructed to do the snorkelling first. But all of us had to go for the briefing first. Regarding safety procedures and all.... We got our goggles & snorkelling gears after the briefing. It took us quite a while to find the fins that fits us all well. Maklumlah, 5 org, so 5 mcm size. Ade besar, ade kecik.. Kelakar alright....

Since I could swim, I just went straight into doing it & I was able to snorkel.. Swimming background & all... And when I got up to check on the others, I heard one of the guides (aka Kepo) saying 'Tu makcik tak leh'. I went to check on who was it, well it was my aunt. SHE COULDN'T SWIM. She panicked when she couldn't step on the bed... And because of that, she pretty much stayed by the shore & the fishes still played ard with her... While Nor & I swam together, Shimah & Itaw went off.. Donno where alright.. Everybody just swam & swam...
And then, we were called up for lunch. So Nor & I went back to the deck. While my aunt was enjoying with her fishes..

As Nor & I walked up the deck, the KEPO diver pass a cheeky remark saying that our snorkelling could have been more fun if he came along. I gave Nor the look.... And we just ignored him.

Since it was Nor, my aunt & me who was on the deck first, we had to get hold of Shimah & Itaw. So there we went calling & searching them, signalling them to get back on the deck... And when they did got our attention, they took the other way up, which was from the steps up. And when it was Shimah's turn to get up, we all laughed. Cuz of all the comments that she made regarding the steps being slippery.. It was REALLY funny. I extended my hand & gave Shimah a helping hand. It was tough alright to get out from the water onto the deck via stairs due to the weight of the water & so forth....

After lunch, we were given the briefing AGAIN.. Shimah went first. As it was procedure that 3 divers will go in with 3 instructors. And Nor, my aunt & I were afraid. So in the end, Shimah went first. My aunt, who was really afraid, asked whether she could get a refund. She was chickening out. All that instructor could say was "Belum try, belum tau makcik. Cuba dulu." At the briefing, the instructors were trying to keep the 4 of us calm. Esp my aunt who couldn't swim. So he went saying that scuba diving is like dancing..It went like this....

Instructor : Diving ni mcm joget asli.. Kena lemah lembut...
I look at Nor. Joget asli? And we just smile.. Our own personal joke.
.
Let me remind you readers that one of the advantages of going for a trip with 5 gals is that we get the attention of the divers. And this came handy cus because of us, the instructors made an exceptional case of going in with 4 divers with 4 instructors... Special treatment.

We all got geared up for our scuba dive. Oh my, the paraphanelia WEIGHED A TON on me. And I had a weight belt. After being all strapped up, OH MY GOODNESS!! HOLY MACARONI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me remind me that I had about 20 kg of weight on me. I had a super hard time to get up after being strapped up. I know I was just to move from the seat of the boat to sitting on the edge of the boat, ohmygod! With the flippers on my foot & everything, I moved around as though I was A PREGNANT WOMAN.. With a big tummy. But this is slightly different. WITH A HUGE LOAD ON MY BACK. And with a push, i went in & all the weight was GONE....

While the instructor was holding on to me, he was asking his other friend whether he could swap me for Nor. And guess what he said, " Come on! I was waiting for this the whole day!" I really wanted to laugh big time but with my mouthpiece in my mouth, FORGET IT!

Even though I had some ear problem, I really enjoyed myself during the scuba dive. And all the fishes that I saw. OH MY! And the SIZE...

Once my time was up, my instructor was helping me get out from all my gear. And when my aunt got up from the water, all the other instructors asked how was it.. My aunt's reply was 'BEST' with two thumbs up. And my instructor, whom she asked regarding the refund, said was 'Tu lah,tadi kate nak refund sangat. Ni sekarang dah cuba, best kan???Kan??? Kan??'...
We all just said thanks to ALL of them. And rushed back to the ferry cuz we were the last people left And the best part was, when we walked back to where our bags was, Shimah was with the KEPO, who had fantastically helped us packed our bags & wheeled them onto his trolley... So we actually had our things wheeled onto the ferry...

When we were onboard, other then the fact that we were dripping, we were given sneaky remarks by the other instructors... Hahaha!

And at a point, went Nor, Itaw & I were discussing something in the ferry, Mat KEPO just went into the group. And the 3 of us just gave him the STARE. And that was how we nicknamed him MAT KEPO...

We got back to our hotel late. After we changed & showered, we got dressed for our trip to the weekend market, aka pasar malam... And there might be some shots of the pasar malam.. Look look, see see yah.... 4 of them bought blouses & stuff while I only bought a skirt & a watch.. And after the pasar malam, my aunt was too tired to follow us to Langkawi Parade which was a Shopping Center. All of us did all sorts of shopping... We bought all sorts if stuff & what nots... And SHIMAH COULDN'T STOP SHOPPING UNTILL THE SHUTTERS STARTED COMMING DOWN... And my eyes & legs couldn't tahan anymore... I was just so tired alright...
And when we got back to the hotel, I went back to my room to change. Had my dinner in their room. And we had a good laugh about our trip for the day...

All the 5 ladies. Guess which is my aunt.

Today is gonna be the day....

2006-08-23T21:26:00.000-04:00

Today is gonna be the day... (Green Day's Song humming in my head)...

Leaving for Langkawi TODAY!!!! The day has finally came... YAHOO!!!!

Had a conference with the girls last night.. Regarding snokelling stuff... YESH!! I'm going snokelling. I hope to have a BLASTED time with the girls...

Other than my trip to Langkawi, I'm GLAD & OVERJOYED that I've managed to break that wall that was in me all these while... Yeah, it took some while but I'm just glad that I'm able to make a door and walk through it & not blast it open.. Seriously, I'm really glad... Yesterday, I was really smilling from within. Not that plastic smile I plastered on my face for a couple of weeks ago. This time, its a sincere smile.

To add to the overjoyesness, yesterday's class was HILARIOUS even though it was a dry topic. Accounting Conventions. Sitting between Jun & Lawrence was really FUN alright. With us laughing at that LADY.... Serious.. We really fell into a fit of giggles yesterday. And because yesterday's topic was VERY dry, when I saw the word 'arbituary', I just HAD to msg Amu... It was the word that sparked some old memories that she herself gave me a huge HAHAHAHAHA! as a reply....

Speaking of Amu, she asked me to join Sue, Angie & herself for a LADIES NITE. I told her that I'll be having LADIES WEEKEND in Langkawi starting from Fri right up till Mon... Next time yah???

Gotta stop here. Leaving for Langkawi tonight. Will update when I get back. And definately pictures......

Langkawi ard the corner

2006-08-22T22:53:00.000-04:00

Been sleeping late lately. Like super late. Say, ard 4 am lately. Cuz been so engrossed with my schoolwork that I totally forgot about the time. And I really pity my teeth cuz my consumption for coffee has increased DRAMATICALLY. I think its equivelent to my 'A' levels mugging days. Yes, its that bad. I know I've sworn by not drinking coffee as it causes yellowing on the teeth but I'M HOOKED. Its like its so SHIOK drinking it & having the drive to do my work. INSTANT BOOST they say.

On Mon, I went off to PW to do my errands. Yes, right now, it seems that I've gotten a PR there. Cuz its just one straight bus from my place. The bus stop is not exactly that near, its at Eunos but its convinient. And I usually walk back from East Coast. Did my calculations for the distance travelled by foot. 3650M. Which means its 3.65km one way. And if I walk to & fro (for Sunday mrngs) its 7.3 km. Yes its a long walk but I really enjoy it...

Anyway, speaking of Mon, I went to meet Nora, Nor's sis, at Tamp. And I took bus 31 from PW. Along its way, it stopped at ITE Simei. And THAT kinda did something to me. I don't know if anyone knew but I thought of going to ITE Simei after my 'A's cuz of my VERY BAD results. So i did apply but it wasn't successful. And right now, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I didn't end up in that school. No, not because I'm against ITE students or education but because of something else.

The reason why I had ITE as my option cuz I knew where my potential is & I strongly believed that with proper guidance, I know I can be big in that area. ITE just gave me the opportunity to shine. Yeah, even though I was an 'A' level student going back to ITE. I know what you might mean but nah. I never look at it like that. Someone once told me that in every cross point of one's life, there must be a reason why god make you take that decision. Cuz one day when you looked back, you'll be grateful that you've decided on that decision because if you didn't have, you'll missed out a very impt lesson that was taught in that course of journey.

So right now, I'm thanking my lucky stars for being able to be in SAA. Indeed my 'A' levels did help ALOT in lessons. And of course, I made new frens. Jun & Lawrence for instance. Yeah even though both of them are my seniors by 5 yrs, we pretty much make a gd trio in school. And its not like we go have lunch together & stuff but more of being in the same wavelength in terms of understanding what's been taught. Therefore, we sorta help each other out whenever either one of us needs it. I have my strengths & they have theirs & so we combine our capabilities & work things out. And of course, the best part is our presence are being felt by the other 65 odd students in the class cuz whenever we ask questions, its would be out loud & will come from where we are seated. Not the shy shy kind. Any questions, we just shoot it from where we are.

Alright, I better stop here. Going to school later. And if I don't update this tmr, then most prob I'll do it after my trip from Langkawi. Yes, 5 VERY single ladies ( Shimah, Itaw, Nor, my Aunt Sarah & ME) are going to a resort island & there's gonna be loads of activities to be done when we're there. Snokelling, chilling on the beach, shopping... Hahahahaha!!!

Tooddles & MUACKZ!!!

Nose in a book

School's been pretty fun & busy for me.. Made another friend. Name's Lawrence.. Being local students, one of the characteristics that we have is that we are very OUTSPOKEN.. We correct the lecturer & stuff.. And we ask questions from right where we are seated.. Ha! Being taught in a Singapore education system...

Honestly, I've been busy the whole week. Went for fireworks display for the whole of last week.. All the 3 days.. But I have to say, Sat's show was the best. And I met Jo... At the Esplanade Bridge. Pretty funny incident actually. Even with HEAVY human traffic on the bridge...

I'm actually reading this book entittled 'Its called a Breakup because its BROKEN'. Pretty funny book. Wouldn't really mind buying it for keepsake. A pretty useful guidebook. A comfort book for anyone who have brokenup. Yes, it will certainly put some perspective into one's life...

I'm going LANGKAWI next week. YEAH! SUN, SAND & SEA!!!! And definately SHOPPING. All of us been pretty busy packing our stuff. Smsing each other on what to bring... Just can't wait. And its a deserving break for ALL of us.. I need to get away from stuff, the others need a break after doing their closing.. I have to say that its pretty much MADNESS for all of us.. Just need the break. That's all...

I think I'll stop blabbering right now.. Going to get back to school work & packing.. Chao!

Fireworks

2006-08-08T21:44:00.000-04:00

I got back late last night & I thought I was able to continue with my revision... LIKE REAL!!!! I felt like I've got no legs... After all the laughing & running & ohhh & ahhh-ing of the fireworks that I watched from Esplanade Park...

Came home close to midnight. And I took the 2nd last train.. Had to go public last night.. No car & no cash.... And the crowd WAS BAD!!! 11.30pm & it was like in the middle of the afternoon...

Maybe on Fri I'll go catch the fireworks again. And Sat, after my orientation at Marina Mandrin, MAYBE I'll go...

Can't talk much aights.....

Stupid telephone line

2006-08-07T21:02:00.001-04:00

My comp's been creating some problems lately. So can't get hold of the net that often. Furthermore, I've been busy with school stuff... Will try to solve my comp prob asap...

Confirmed

2006-07-27T02:37:00.000-04:00

Been super bz since Mon.. Out of the blue, I just felt like changing the position of my bed.. Doing some testing before I finally decide to put those curtains.... And later that night, I was busy with the reservations for the flight & hotel for my trip to langkawi. Remind me to pay my aunt 150 bucks... Ya.. That's the final cost of the whole trip. Cheap right?

Gonna start packing.......

And oh ya, remind me to NEVER WATCH OC AGAIN.. Ever... Cuz the story line makes me SICK.. Just can't stand these kind of stories.... Hate them...

Kaki sakit

2006-07-23T22:07:00.000-04:00

Kaki sakit....

Yesterday I went to the beach for some tanning, swimming & also berkerang...Dapat remis... About 2 kg... It was fun... Looking for those small shell fish... And when we got back, my mom cooked it & we had it with our mee goreng... Yummy...

But right now, I'm having a hamstring pull.. Punyelah sakit...

Doing nothing much.. Thought of doing some revision but the idea of reading INVENTORY SYSTEMS just turns me off..

Grandpa has been worried lately of my meals.. Nope.. I'm not eating as frequent as I should. LAZY... And some food aren't appetizing. And my lectures are from 2 to 6pm. And considering that I get up at ard 9 or 10 am, I'll have my oatmeal for a late breakfast & that's it.. Nothing else... Then I'll head to the library to check out some books on deco stuff.. Something to destress me...

Right now, I'm itching to get another bikini... HAHAHA!! I really liked the current one.. Really comfy.. Not icky or watever after I stepped out of the water..

And the best part, Joline, who went bikini shopping with me the other day ALSO BOUGHT A NEW piece... HAHAHAHAHA!!! Now why you ppl know we are SO GOOD FRIENDS...
