a week away from home is quite a refreshing change. our destination was m'sia, no where far but i had lotsa fun with e fam, that is more impt right.

white water rafting. wet abseiling at the waterfall. banana boating. para sailing. lorry rides. jacuzzis. hammocks. okayy, you get e drift yeapp. the sun sand sea and not forgetting food was great. haha. a tad bit darker now with some minor cuts n mild rashes but heck it, i enjoyed myself =)

it definitely wasnt all rainbows & sunshine la. esp the travelling part..between n within states. i think we tried almost every means of travelling. haha. okayy, not all but name it, coach cab van four-wheeled-drive ferry public-bus plane. haha. but despite of our many panic moments, which is the norm, hah. we managed to pull through e journey smoothly and safely. alhamdulillah of course. hmm. well. photos-wise? woops to that. i have yet to upload them :P but i will post it up soon yeppp, heh.

owells, another quality time spent w e fam. :)

that aside. special thanks to nadz for helping me out with the results n messy admin school stuff. she attended to mine while i was away. and assured that it's done right in my little panic moment, haha, more of my sotong moment eh. so thank you sooo very much babe for settling everything. =) and yesss, i'm up for another outing. when-when??

hm, on a seperate note, its alrdy the islamic new year. awal muharram, was yest. i just hope that everything will go well this time round yeapp. a happier, more joyful, meaningful, healthier and smooth-sailing year ahead. let's hope & pray with optimism yepp =)

thursday night, we'ld be singing
bum bum be dum bum bum be dum bum
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heck it w e finals for a mo'. i need t let loose.

(PS: sry taggers, u've been unreplied & abandoned. but u shld know that i constantly read yr tagss. keep it cmg =) )

welcome to the good life babyy

hafifah!!! i'm so! damn right jealous of you right now.
what was i thinking missing out on kanye west live!! vids lookin intense man.
holleerr..

i'll sing for you

ohhh kiss me & smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
cos i'm leaving on a jet plane
i dont know when i'll be back again
oh babe i hate to go..

Armegeddon was on, & i was stuck watching it all over again.
nope i didnt cry.
i just got weak on my knees &..
teared.

ok. fine. i cried.

ungu

watch a peek of it. e quality's not bad. love this song: cinta dalam hati


(ps: pls credit my pictures accordingly, cause i'm too lazy to do so. & credits to whoever took that vid)

pasya

what a day..

it started off good w e tgif mood. got to sch w only 2 lectures in mind but 3 lectures in e schedule. had another typical lunch at megaB, w nadz n rendy. skipped gek. got home w dad. n late afternoon was wasted on watching southpark & friends online. tell you, you can never go wrong w friends.

the highlight wassss.. the rest of the evening, which was spent at e esplanade, rockin out w ungu!! woohoooo~
thanks to mum for e tix :)
syiok or what? e audience was quite sporting but cld have been much better. ppl ard me were better off ****. cmon man, its a friggin band performance. u dont just sit firmly down with your arms wrapped. hm. what's e point if u're not enjoying yourself right. might as well sit at home. ug. these bunch kinda spoilt e mood.

as for ungu, i thought they sounded good live. well, they shld be right. if not.. i'll boycott. lol. but i can only rate them good, cause i didnt really think it was outstanding. i think if they're cmg back, they would havta relook at their setlist.. and e ending. it was too abrupt tt e audience got confused whether it ended. thumbs up to their showmanship tho, esp pasya!

pasyapasyapasya, heeee :D gue tergoda, suaranye enak & kamu ganteng banget dech!

udah yaa, aku mau ngorok dulu!
camat malam semuanya. mimpi yang enak-enak ya.
gambar-gambarnya akan ku post di lain kesempatan.
(bisa enggak bahasa indon nya? Wahahahaha..)

when it gets hard

i must admit that now isn't one of e best times of my life.

i hope things will take a turn & go in a brighter direction.

urg. maybe its just 'that' phase everyone's goin thru. i'm blessed cos i've gone this far. but. thing is. when i think abt it. i've lost sight of what i want to achieve in life. i wanna start afresh. but now is really the worst time to regret anything. HAIH.
owells, sometimes you just havta swallow in everything that's shoved down your throat aye. even e harsh ones.

ya Allah.. you're e only one who understands how i feel right now. i need every possible motivation & drive to keep me going. for another few years.

watch russell peters if you're craving for a good laugh
warning tho, not for the serious.
he's cming to sg this nov if u're interested.

salam lebaran

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
kpd semua umat Islam.

Harap dikurniakan keceriaan & kebahagiaan yang berlipat-lipat sempena syawal yg mulia ini, i'allah. =)
& Maaf dipinta jika tersilap kata, ataupun terkasar bahasa.

raya tahun ni sayu jugak. yelah. dah biasa jenguk arwah nenek hari pertama. sekarang tinggal nenek sebelah bapak aje. kurang rumah. abe mak pun asyik-asyik teringatkan nenek, sampaikan kite ramai-ramai meleleh. aih. ape lagi perasaan dada sekeluarga, yang jaga arwah nenek. mesti dorang lagi rindu. tp ape yang sudah tu sudah kan. kite boleh kenang & doakan je pemergiannye.

e first day of raya, was what i expected it to be. my folks dont have many sibs, yet it wasnt spent w any of em. but i think most of them did made up for it e following days :)
but some just couldnt be bothered i guess. or maybe they wanna have a surprise visit this yr? not that i am anticipating one.
still, i would have liked e first day to be special.

e best guests every year, would be arwah nek yah's family, mum's cousins. i just adore them. every year, w/o fail they would rent a bus and come as one big group to our house. its really nice having em cos they just have this warmth. meet em n you'll know why.

i've been secretly hoping that there will be a hari raya outing w e sec school mates this year. if only we were tight like those days. bumping into shida e other day just made me realise how i've missed them. i know, all talk & no action reaps nothing. hmm, i wonder if i shld even try to organize. i fear of rejections/dissapointments. really, it doesnt seem as simple as it looks. there r so many issues, but i wonder why we always complicate things.(i intend no finger pointing. just everyone in general.) i mean, cant we all just. hang out. like we used to?

& syamilah, pls start organizing our raya outing before everyone's schedules packed. pretty pleasee.. kau lah harapan ku =)

ps: mid terms officially sucked for me. last paper on java this cmg wed. dont even mention it. i'm in no mood to speak.

doubled w e throat infection, suara rock beb.

imma give you the world

doesnt this sound all too familiar. 'khayalan menjelma' rmbr?
then later i realized that this is a remake of fantasy's classic, earth wind & fire.
i'm liking this jam.
what's more w e bits of spanish in it. ooo.
& that babe can sing :)

chatted w najiha in dubai, who was cookin up smth for buka w her dorm mate. n now chatting w rathy in india, who's skiving classes, taking things slow n enjoyin independent life w/o parents. gosh i'm jealous & i miss these girls!
makes me wonder if i cld survive such independence. hm.

training while fasting was actually ok. silat iftar was pleasant. altho me n farhana were e only freshies at our table, i genuinely enjoyed e company. got to know new ppl, one of em is pretty fly. e one who winked ;) but i'm not gonna tell who.

_____________________________________________

this song leaves me breathless n in tears everytime
simply beautiful..

Drain the veins in my head
Clean out the reds in my eyes to get by security lines
Dear x-ray machine
Pretend you don't know me so well
I wont tell if you lied
Cry, cause your droughts been brought up
Drinkin' cause you're lookin so good in your starbucks cup
I complain for the company that I keep
The windows for sleeping rearrange
When I'm nobody
Well who's laughin now

I'm leaving your town, again
And I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air so baby hell yeah
Well honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn...

being single kinda suck when people around u are w their other halves. dont get me wrong, im happy fer em. & im never happier to be single.

i am holding it up fine. but.. i just miss goin out on dates. getting my stomach constipated & twisted up into knots. being on e receiving end of sweet nothings & kisses. n being e happiest person ever for that very moment.

but thinking of e most hearbreakin part of r/ships just.. turns me off. i've been down that road before and i dont miss crying myself to sleep. urgh. makes me wanna kill all e jerks in e world. stab. stab. stab, their hearts for stabbing mine. period~

funny how despite all these hatred, i seek comfort in e remembering what was, and what's left. it was nice to know that we played in the dirt.

i promised myself to keep away from depressing issues. but i broke it. it seems like the strings keep pulling me back into this island of reality and ocean of diarrhoea.
daymn heartaches.

just my sentiments..
i think im being way too frank in this post.
pardon me. its 1 in e morning.

______________________________________

howzit ppl! i'm back man.
owells. my absence just means that school has kept me busy. yepp. school has officially started. like finalleh eyy.

i just dread e foreign idea of bidding, balloting n planning yr own timetable. but i guess its not that bad afterall. i got e modules n tuts i wanted. plus i have an alternate 3 or 4 days of sch per week. but, on e days that i have school, lessons r back to back. almost la.

as listed are e mods i'm taking this sem:
MA1100 Fundamentals of Mathematics
MA1102R Calculus
GEK1527 Genes & Society
IT1002 Intro to Programming(Java)
SP1201M Freshman Seminar

actually im pretty excited to major in maths. feeling macam 'in my element' gitu. haha. but. haih. i feel intimidated. feel so 'small' by e stream of foreigners. maybe its just me. plus, e lecturer is progressing from a fast to faster rate. maybe that's just e way uni is. but nvm, i'm lucky tt i still have nadz n rendy, right. we'll see how things goess yeap. for next sem, i might consider switching to app maths or stats. hmm. that'll be later.

other than that, silat trainings are fun! tho can be really tiring. i look forward to learning new stuff. n everyone seems really nice. i like =) but what's more fun is e supper that follows. nadz n syamilahh, join laa. at least ade member.

oh yess. me n nadz signed up for runnus, 5km mass run. which was last sun. e route was hilly, since it was on campus. but we made it =) it was an experience. planning to maybe join e team relay next yr, i'allah, if we could gather enough ppl. haha, bcos we would always end up w just e two of us.


&, another big thankyou to ms scandalous ezza for e christian dior blusher, foundation & anti-wrinkle cream(i gave it to my mum, heh). this babe keeps giving away branded stuff to me. i could get use to this u know, haha. yesterday's swensens dinner was pleasant. btw, i caught u last. boohoo. haha. buka posa next ok!

btw i found better vids of jason mraz at singfest n i've updated e list at this post, feel free to watch. :)

ps: i sorely miss practicals :(
PPS: I THINK JASON MRAZ IS COMING BACK TO SG NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR E WORLD! :)
SEE YA LOVE <3

____________________________________________

e rest of e acts were pretty good. equally fab & amazing. so i shan't rank them okay, it wont do justice to 'em. haha.

alright then, i'll start back off w e opening, which was stacie orrico. not a fan, but she's a pretty thing w great vocals. off w a gd start. everyone warmed up to her classic hit, 'stuck'. i especially enjoyed 'i'm not missing you'.

Stacie Orrico's setlist vids:
(not in order performed)
1. Stuck
2. Not Missing You
3. More To Life
4. So Simple (no one on youtube had a vid on this, haha)
5. and other unknown songs..lol.

____________________________________________

hot stuff jamie scott was next. e weather at that point of time was literally hot, plus e sun was shining straight at him. despite sweating all over, he put on his best =) i was melting right there. frankly, i was only waiting for him to sing ' when will i see your face again'. his other songs sounded all so similar. but his new single was not thaat bad. but i sensed e crowd's anxiousness to get on to e next act.


Jamie Scott's setlist vids:
(not in order performed)
1. When Will I See Your Face Again
2. Standing In The Rain
3. Kiss Me(new song)
4. Weeping Willow
5. ..i have no idea what other songs he sang

____________________________________________

panic! at the disco was a showman & were a really good looking bunch! =) there was some technical faults with brendon's mic when they were playing 'But It’s Better If You Do', but they were a good sport to just carry on performing. furthermore e crowd covered up their flaw by singin loudly in unison. i had an incredibly good time singing along to their catchy songs!


PATD's setlist vids:
(not in order performed)
1. I Write Sins Not Tragedies
2. The Only Difference Between Matyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage
3. Nine In The Afternoon
4. That Green Gentleman
5. Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off(sadly this is not clear)
6. Mad As Rabbits
7. But It's Better If You Do
8. Pas De Cheval
(bad sound quality)

____________________________________________

e interval was a levi's fashion show. here is e vid. (caution: hot dudes)


right after that was e old school rick astley. haha. funny dude. he said smthg like, 'oh c'mon.. u guys must have some karaoke box at home..' but his other better known songs didn't need prompting. everyone echoed thru em. my fav? 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. evergreen seyy!


Rick Astley's setlist vids:
(not in order performed)
1. Together Forever
2. When You Need Somebody
3. Never Gonna Give You Up(e inital part is acoutic, with inserts of 'i should be so lucky')
4. &.. other unknown songs haha

funny thing is, he was e target of bras/panties by e oldies in e crowd. haha. i think he enjoyed it.

____________________________________________

pcd pumped up e stage!! =)
lovelove e energy they exude!


Pussycat Dolls's setlist vids:
(not in order performed)
1. Intro & Buttons
2. Wait A Minute
3. When I Grow Up
4. Beep
5. Show Me What You Got(freestyle dance)
6. Sway
7. I Don't Need A Man(v short vid)
8. Stick Wit U
8. Don't Cha

but it felt more like a nicole's solo concert w effin hot backup dancers. i digg their dance moves more than e singing. heh. marvelous moves. fuhh. undoubtly hot!

____________________________________________

and finally alicia keys. she was up at abt 11pm, delayed by an hr. i prefer her past hits rather than e recent ones. i was anticipating her, hoping that she would change my mind about her music. she's jazzy like that, but everything else(props backups instruments etc) awed me more than her songs. a diva by default. but, i really had a much fantastic time with jasonmraz's performance! he stole e show n he should have been e hightlight man. hehh. tho she can really dance, she does alot of talking than interacting. sorry miss keys.


Alicia Keys's setlist vids:
(not in order performed)
1. You Don't Know My Name
2. A Woman's Worth(zoomed in)
A Woman's Worth(longer, more zoomed out)
3. Teenage Love Affair
4. Fallin'
5. Diary/Tender Love
6. Karma
7. Superwomen
Superwomen(better sound)
8. No One

_________________________________________________

i know. i got too caught up w singfest that i havent updated abt camp n e sat outing.

camp was like crap. me n nadz endurance/patience level was way low tt we left e 2nd day. i dont know. but we just couldnt click w e rest, i guess. butbut. there is this really nice senior worth mentioning, eunice. she was really nice enough to guide me nadz rendy w e bidding of our modules tt we felt bad skiving e camp. looks like in e 1st sem i'll be sticking ard w e 2 same peeps yea =)

and.. credits to ezza for e fun we had on sat!
she treated me n ban to sakura int buffet @ clementi. we were asked to starve before goin there..haha. usually, in buffets u pick stuff out one after another right. but for us..nooo. we took one of each kind, n laid it out on our table. e outcome? abundance! we had a feast.
thanks to ban, whatever we couldnt eat, she just gulp it down her throat. then afterwards, she cud barely walk. hahaha. and thanks to e mastermind, ezza. we were asked to smuggle out food using her tupperware/plastics. hahaha. soo kiasu rightt!! so we cautiously stole deserts for our karaoke session later. thing is, we brought plates of cakes to our table n suddenly it all dissapear so fast. so we were afraid tt ppl might suspect. soo malu ok ezza kalau kene caught.. HAHAHA.


aside from that, ezza actually bought us really nice gifts! =) i received a christian dior's lip pallete & anna sui's eye shadow pallete which has really pretty casings!! love it ezza, thankthank you fer everything!!













we chilled at cash studio for our k-theraphy. haha. ezza cant get enuff of tangkap lentok songs, n ban rapped thru an eminem song. hahaha. what a day :)

enuff said!
i'm off youtubing again..haha!

faez asked: "Babe, how was meeting the man of your dreams"
i replied: "PURE AWESOMENESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!"



& i still suffer from e after effects of it. i still feel esctatic everytime i watch vids of singfest online. n my hair still stands with desire to relive every bit of it, but i can only hope. hope that he comes back here soon. simply said, it was one of e best nights i've had. not wanting to exaggerate here. but i've been dying!! to watch jason mraz live. n when i finally! really! watched him live, he totally stand out from all e other acts. HE WAS THE HIGHLIGHT! in fact he was the best! i swear. or i may be a lil biased. but even so, e crowd loved his presence. quote 'he had the crowd eating out of his hands!' haha. n his act was e only act when e crowd chanted 'we want more!'. so there u go. obviously he was AN EXCEPTIONALLY AWESOME PERFORMER & A DEFINITE CROWD PLEASER =)
at least he pleased meee yea.
toca(mraz backup singer) wasnt bad himself. he looked cool. i think he's slimmed down alot!
overall it was a brilliant, kickass performance!! worth every pennyy!!

alright, lets cut to e chase. i actually took vids but they all turned out real shaky cos i was too busy grooving/singing/screaming to e songs n shouting 'i love you jason/mraz'..heee. furthermore i was in e 3rd/4th row of e moshpit where ppl's hands were all up in e air, so e vid's a mess. so here's a list of selected vids from youtube tt i've put in order, for your easy listening/watching for those who have missed out in e fun. boo. shame on youu. HAHA.

look out for his cute dance moves :P
i especially lovelove e intross.
you mustmustmust watch all of 'em!

(a totally sexyy song)

i was on an all-time high mode when he was on. but he got me totally high when they started playing butterfly!! omggggg. supah-flyyyy ok!! sizzlin' w total mrazz hot-nezz!! haha. i'm alr rambling like crap now.

so where's e rest of e acts u might ask. heh, next time ok! these posts eats alot of my time n effort. for now just bare w my mraz obsession. i'm mraz-merized n i cant contain it. thankiew!!

ohyeaa..i met this new bunch of peeps while waiting in line. they were friendly enuff to start e convo. cool ppl. ppl who digg gigs, haha. took pic w 2 of em. urgh. my head got chopped.
adel's e chic from australia who has cool tattoos. n she's entering nus too!! putri n e rest were from SP :)

another bunch was from e moshpit, while we were groovin along tgt. but i didnt catch their names. heh.

and.. i did bump into your sister najiha!! haha! wat a coincidence. she was like e 2nd person i asked for directions right after i got off my cab at fort canning park. at least i didnt feel too lost. cos my initial thoughts of goin w certain ppl js didnt work out. goin' alone was great cos i get to meet new ppl!! :)))

plus, i was glad to be surrounded by beautiful/handsome expats rather than e usual mats/minahs crowd at gigs.

ps: mraz interview on 987fm was really adorable okokok!!! who caught it??
everyone msged in to say: 'tell Jason I love him and I wanna marry him'
his reply:'... unfortunately I can't marry everyone I meet.'
hahaha. hilarious dude!

(note: my pics/vids were not very clear so some were extracted from other online sources)

AN EXTREMELY FANTABULOUS/EUPHORICAL/AMAZING EXPERIENCE
:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

it left me wanting for moremoremore. nothing beats experiencing it first hand.
i'm sooooo in loooooove with e charismatic/sexy/cool/spontaneous/serenating mraz. when he took e stage, people around me thinks i'm insane. hahahaha.
mraz said e crowd(equals to me) was great!! 8D but he was better! just him on e stage made e whole atmosphere totally sexy. i'm not lying okay. he worked e crowd. daaaymn he was good!

the rest of e acts were great as well. they made songs i didnt like nice when played live. i had a blast!

i'll give full updates once i get e pics/vids done okayyyyy!

matriculated

will be away on a 3days camp tmr. technically speaking, its 4days. but. i plan to cabot earlier! i heard i'm not e only one.. *sly grin*

me agnes n huiying got matriculated today. yayness. saw sharon there too :) then, syamilah happened to drop by to purchase her notebook. she got a lenovo. n i stayed true to my fujitsu n got a tablet. hehe.

chatted w hafifah, an ol acquaintance. man, she's goin on sat to watch travis live! but nayyhhh. i'll stick to mine.
5 days to meeting mr mraz!
i'm sooo hoping to meet him in person :)))
& i hope ezza wins that contest. then she can join in e fun.

i listen to mraz since his lame remedy/rocket songs, n since e day his hair was curly like mad, n since he wore his hat slanted n stuff. n u know, i sometimes feel frustrated that people only recognise mraz since his 'i'm yours' hit, n suddenly becomes a big fan. yea. so much for that. ok. period. period. (i have issues, ignore me, i'm just ranting)

had a great time driving auto tonight. no clutch. we just chilled n chatted while cruisin' :) plus point, he's really cute n smiley. (ee..gatal ey) hahaha.

okayla. i have a 3day camp to pack for. nyahaaa.

picnics

tag replies..

Z[nadz]: funny kan!! hahaha
_____________________________________________________

had a supremely awesome week! it seems like there's more stuff to do as sch term is nearing. haha. almost everyone was thr at e mini tahlil arwah, including mum's cousinss.get to meet e kiddos who are growing up all too fast! particularly izzah syazan amir. amni mardhiah is just below 2 yrs n she's extremely adorable. die pelok orang macamla mak-mak orang, tepok bahu semua. then when ppl greet her(beri salam), she auto, greet back(wsalam). so we enjoyed entertaining her, n she loved e attention! haha. then whenever we took her pic, she said.. 'CHEEEESE' hahaa. cute sekali!
tetapi yang paling comel sekali tentulah cucu-cucu arwah nenek yang berhijab ini. (HA HA HA.)

& ohya! havta thank nadz for her macD treat, even after much persistence tt is :)))

i got a new instructor for my very last assessment/subject on sat. n he's exceptionally nice. haih. i am soo truly gonna miss pracs. book more revision slots maybe?? haha.
so after lesson, me n nadz bought e picnic necessities n coffee bean! before heading to aloha chalet. met up w syamilah n syaf.

(i dunno what's w e bahasa melayu) played captains ball, bluff, indian poker, heartattack with freerads, our anak angkat(haha) n some seniors. we had hell of a time, plus e food was great. :)
but it was alr night time by e time we realise it, n we were eager to get out of tt place. so we did what we girls do best. hailed a cab home.
ended e night w nadz syamilah n farah! heee. maaf kerana resolusi gambar yang sungguh tidak bagus.

niways, i'm worried cos ain always comment that i look 'dead'. ain, mungkinkah raut wajahku memang begitu? hahaha. bcos she's not e only one who gives this kind of comments.

________________________________________________________


sat mornin's mode was kind of solemn. went over to pusara aman to visit/ziarah arwah nenekku. cousin drove us there. since we were there, we visited a few other 'kubur', my arwah datuk, pakcik, nek yah etcetc.

just e other night we had a tahlil arwah. one of e rare-st occassion where e three fams gathered for jemaah/meal togather. its been years. adult issues la, so i cant say much. but what i'm relieved about is that they've managed to put their differences away during this 'mourning' period. alhamdulillah. even tho it felt quite awkward, i get e warm fuzzy feeling inside. n i cant help but to think tt somewhere up there, she's smiling too. i hope this isnt just a temporary/fakeout thing. i'm looking forward to next week's tahlil :)

sometimes, what humans need is just a reminder.

owells. i had enough of sorrowful fam stories.

on a happier, muchmuch lighter noteee. casuarina lunch date with some of e 224 ppl turned out fine. haha. i'm not soo much of an organiser la. it was just an impromptu thought of mine to meet up since we all havent seen each other in a while. e turn up was ok, cud have bn better. n i cud have bn earlier. ha ha. mrfazli, his pretty wife n adorable daughter was thr too.
peektures courtey of syamilahh :)

and and. fri's brief dinner meetup was enjoyablee. i totally suck at keeping secrets from ezza. ban is totally hilarious. n ban's bf is partially bisu. ha ha ha. i had a really gd laugh talking about ol times. n i still have no idea what e heck is JJ, tell me lehh??
talkg about them, sometimes i would think abt how all e other nvss classmates r right now. i still miss them n wish we cud just hang out some day. for real. surely, u know who u are. i wanna meetup w them but i feel so 'segan' to contact 'em cos its been a while. ntahlah, maybe they feel e same way too?? hmm. i wonder.

ok ok. i know, i still havent properly update abt refuge zero aid. its just that i'm too lazy to upload e photos. but since korangkorang nak tau sgt kan. amek kau..heee






















niways, na'im said, look out for a reunion gathering soon! yay. best. tapi bile eh??

________________________________________________________

i'm back but i'm too lazy to update about e camp right now :P
later okay!!
still uploading peekturess..(alasan je tu)
HAHAHA.
js to ease e suspense. ceh.
here's a sneek peek photo montage i saw on youtube :)
touching seyy~

yesterday's shopping trip was INSANE! me n nadz had loads of impulse buys.even e trip itself was on impulse. after e SOW briefing over at nus, we took 111 down to town. we nets everything we saw tt was nice. omgggg. ok..not everything. but u get e drift. by e time we realise it, our expenditure amounted to hundreds. umm. we didnt dare to calculate. nadz def makes a great retail theraphy bud. but with her, i'll only get more broke. haha. she should actually refrain me from purchasing instead of encouraging me, 'lawala..belilah zaf!'. nevertheless, i'm pretty contented. we both ended e day with new bags. mine a ripcurl, n hers, an aldo. haha. sampai pakai skali..semangat dok!!

now i feel so bad/guilty for being sooo boros.
oh! i feel so~
oh! i feel so~
oh! i feel so bad~~~
(OJ tune, haha)

for that, i think i wanna punish myself. erm. 1 month w/o shopping?? hahaha. see whether i can make it or not. mcm paham je..

challenge shield 5's captain's ball, organised by e nusms was great!
tho initially we were intimidated by e other players who looked like pros, with some netball players biathlon runners etc. first game was a total mess since our team didnt have any trainings beforehand, n it was against e champion team of e challenge. but we picked things up, learnt our lessons n got e momentem gg after that.
here's a shot w one of our opponents. we called 'em 'lipas' cos they were really fast.
powerful defence played out by farah n syafiqah.
great feeders, nadz syamilah n kak yaya.
huffing-puffing midfielders were fidah jannah n yours truly.
n we had e best catcher, kak erlyn!

it was my first time playing at e futsal pitch at ecp. a competitive yet fun-loving experience, thanks a whole lot to members of HEROIN(not e drug ey!). not forgetting our 'orang kuat'/strong supporters(hahaha) from jannah's side, for buying food/drinks when we're hungry/thirsty, comg up w various strategies for us, cracking us up n cheering us on for the whole 10 sets of matches! we wouldn't have pulled it thru w/o u guys! =)

ultimately, we emerged 3rd runner ups!! YAYYY!!!
we were uberrr happy cos only e top 4 received medals.. hahaha. not too bad an achievement considering our opponents had trained for this challenge, considering our stamina, n considering that some of us had never seen each other before, ever. only 5 of us were yjcians, e rest, jannah's cousins.

special credits to syamilah!! for getting us all together for this memorable event. we shall do it again next yr? i'allah!

with new acquaintances, comes a new outings. kak erlyn invited us all to her chalet n offered 4 rooms to overnight, n farah to her wedding! hehe.
lookin' forward to that..

watched hancock on friday evening. i think its not worth watching. will smith fell short of a superhero type.. heh. probably 2.5 out of 5?

after that, we attended a public lecture 'A Rose in the Desert - Prophet Muhammad,peace be upon him' by Shaykh Khalil Moore‏ a speaker from e US. overwhelming response, n interesting way of expressing his thoughts. here to learn more. :)

i cant wait for tmr's refugee zero aid camp!! i have yet too pack..hehe.

ps: if i dont reply yr msges, pls call me. thanks.

fri, girl talk at coffeebean@novena n sun, K-therapy. both w ezza. js e two of us! haha. havent seen her for quite some time. so thr was ALOT to catch up on. sang our souls out at cash. song of e day was def e toni braxton's classic.

sang til it rained(haha) n til we got hungry. went on our search for food n were thinking of newton's adam's simpangbedok's etc. haih, but settled w sakura, since we have no one driving us. :( haha. nxt time mayb yeaa.
after sakura was gelare! haha. (makan aje kerje!)

i had a great time ezza :)
thanks babe!!

today, med-checkup at nus. went over w mom. it was a loooong ride from home. i wonder if i can survive tt kind of morning rush everyday. haiya, i hate takg e public transport esp when we're like sardines n esp now tt my fare is adult. sometimes i would prefer hailg e cab to get my money's worth. hahaha.
bumped into nadz who was alr done, v fast hor. haha. then i had company while waiting for e doc cos rendy was thr. after tt bumped into huiying who js arrived. haha. i'm glad to see these familiar faces. i wonder if sharon was thr..

imagine a train ride from clementi right up to changi airport. it was endless! i was heaving a huge sigh when e ride ended. since dad's flight have not touched down, n we were super hungry, we went to earle's swensens@T3. had jumbo chicken frank, n mom had some satay thing. when finally he's landed, we went to swensens, again. haha. this time at T2. i really recommend e mee goreng thr. haha. yupp.

tmr will be another session at ssdc. i hope to get e same instructor again..hee. n i hope to see either nadz or syamilah thr. both better. hahaha.

okay, i'm beat from e mrt rides. im gonna hit e bed.

_____________________________________________________
some regard kuda kepang as an artform. yes, when it's just plain dancing with e cutout of a horse, i can embrace it. however when e spiritual element is inserted, it's artform at a whole different level. human dancers accompanied by e gamelan music, are brought to a trance-like state, where they take on e persona of a horse. it's believed to temporarily harness their power. in this state, their 'leader' feed them with glass, flowers, grass etc, n r whipped like horses. i saw my first real performance today. i watched from e 2nd floor, at e blk in front of mine. while dad below, had a close up view of their bloodshot eyes. e routine was repeated from afternoon up til sunset. an eye-opener yet disturbing occurance.(astaga,dlm hati aku bykkan istifar aje.)

conversely, Islam does not condone this syirik practice, where external powers, other than Allah SWT is called upon. but many still defensively explain tt thrs a difference between culture, and religion. then again, in e end, it still boils down e individual n their beliefs.
so what u guys think of this??
here's a video of e same troupe tt i saw:

enuff kuda.
a few days back, my fam went for a movie. we were contemplating btwn 'kungfu panda' n 'the incredible hulk'. n settled with e latter. e movie was great!! action packed. a tad bit better than ironman.heh. highly reccomended by me!! 4 out of 5 :)

then had dinner w diyana n nora at bbqchicken@downtown(: havent seen nora since e ylc days! long time ey. izzat didnt make it tho. we met up back with my fam for some coffeeshop talk at coffeebean. i enjoyed e convo. heh. since bowling didnt work out, dad gave them a ride home.

____________________________________________________

kampong trip
our paternal fam used to have a big get together every 6months. but its all different now. e house back thr had been left for nearly a yr. thankfully nthg 'funny' happened durg our stay bcos we did everything togather(eat/sleep/pray). haha.
tt town had been e same for many donkey yrs. only now that we can see construction sites appearing like mushrooms. other than e same ol pasar malams, beca n mahkota parade. we explored e new taming sari town(carlsberg like tower), boat ride(like sg river ride) n malls.

'cept. they're less attractive, n not fully developed yet.

but melaka did have nando's! our choice of chicken in msia. yea!
e trip however, serves as a reminder on how simple life actually is. before headg home, we caught e breath-taking sunrise(masyaallah), n had roti canai(prata). kampong style! haha.

i'm back!
stories later. off to e stadium for a jog first. :)

e lineups better turn up top notch. e sound system better be awesome. n e tix price better not be discounted further, then i'll be really mad cos e organisers has def attained their aim in burning a hole in my pocket. MRAZ was e only joy running thru my mind while painfully paying for e tix. my sweet intent. aihhh~
i've waited so long for this moment.(sooo cliche! hahaha) i missed his gig here last 2 yrs. so i better not miss it this time round :)

anw, here's nadirah's pic upon sbb's request. haha! she utterly excitedly cos she's gonna pick up her dad from airport who's back from france. adorable ehh. all dolled up :)
n i'm utterly happy cos i've got chocz from france. hahahehehuhu.

in e mean time. i'll be away to m'sia on a road trip back to kampooong! i gtg get some rest :) till then, js wait up for upcoming updates!

singfest08

i'm all psyched up after seeing e artist line up for this year's singfest!!!!!
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))
i'll probably head down to sistics tmr or e day after to purchase e tix!!! since e folks alr gave me e 'green light'. i hope they have a student concession or smthg. anyone is invited to tag along if u intend to go.(dont be shy,haha) i'll probably b gg w a fren or two. js gimme a tag okay :) e more e merrier, hahaha. i can't wait for august the 3rd!!

anw, did anyone catch 'just follow law'? a funny local movie, produced a few yrs back. there's this particular scene where this 2 guys waiting outside e bank bcos it was their payday e next day. so as soon as e clock strikes 12am, they shouted "payday!", n happily went to withdraw their money. hahaha! i happen to witness a similar scene within e folks every month. hahaha.
so after getting his pay, dad decided to buy me a reebok jersey. lol. but he still owes me a laptop that he promised. ahha.

went out w faez to find her a jacket. walked ard orchard frustrated cs we cant find e right one. finally she settled for a cute adidas sweater at heerens. gd choice! :) then we stayed ard to catch e 'sg bboy championship'. e battle's kinda cool.. but it gets quite repetitive, n quite mundane. so we decided to go swensens to have dinner n people watch. haha. e young couple in front of us was annoying. it made us wanna laugh, cry, puke all at e same time. i dont know what to say! haha

cant wait for tmr's karaoke session w e cousins n siblings!! hoho.
e weather is forecasted to be wet tmr my dear. so bring an umbrella along if u're gg out ok. :P

_________________________________________________________

i finally got my hands on jason mraz's latest cd. 'we dance.we sing.we steal things.' do u know tt he owns an avocado farm? how adorable is tt! side-track. hahaha! anw, my current earworm would definitely be 'butterfly'. one sexy track. take a listen, u might js like it!:

Taking a moment just imagining that i'm dancing with you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes..
..Butterfly,
You landed on my mind
Damn right you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside...
(complete lyrics)

he always 'turns me on'(haha) by e way he string his lyrics(v. smooth), n how magically(so drama) his cd cover unveils itself. but like his previous one, thrs no lyrics provided. e really pretty cover, made up fer it tho =) u guys should check out his site. turn up yr volumes. its really cute bcs for every page he would add his own intro to it with inserts of his random jinggles. i feel silly cs i keep refreshing it to hear e diff intros it has. hahaha.

bowling today was e shortest ever. apparently they had only 1 lane available w a 30min slot, if not we had to be on an hour's waiting list. urg. we js took up e slot, n crash bowled. hahaha.

after work, bro picked us up for deserts n drove us to island creamery(frozen deserts), along adam rd. u can find local flavoured icecream here such a nutella tehtarik kopi bandung soursop etc.
my fav would be reverseO, dark choc w chunks of chocs. yummmmm. what attracted me was e chill atmosphere, gr8 music n interesting doodly walls.
then as we talked(my chemical romance was palying in e backgrd), bro revealed tt he actually went to mcr's concert last yr. walaooo. he went cs his friend dragged him, fact is, he's not an avid eng music listener u know. n he only knew 1 pathetic song out of e whole concert!! wat a waste right!
we also tasted bandung, applepie, cookiesncream! =) n packed home a tub of nutella!!

i spotted 'awfully chocolate' along e way, so we stopped to purchase a half kg plain choc cake. hahaha. awfully awesome!
i know my posts sounds disgustingly fattening. what to do. i happen to visit more eateries nowadays. js bare w me olrt.

yesterday was pizza hut@thomson plaza for dinner. e place is surprisingly peaceful n it had these nice comfy ovaled-shaped cushion seats. i like..
after which we snacked home 'donut empire'(a franchise of munchy donuts), for today's breakfast. haha!

ps: i feel egg-cited whenever i see dubai on e live traffic feed :) that js shows tt g was here! hoho.

dubai, off she goes

najiha departured at abt 22:40 sg's time. n will transit 7hrs later at dubai to drop g n her fam off, before heading to moscow. after she enters e gate with her family, it suddenly dawned upon me tt she's really leaving. :( we're only able to frantically wave our goodbyes. i guess its true tt absence makes e heart grow fonder. haih. i feel sad. in fact, i'm soo sad i went all e way to mac to buy burgers for my fam. n i've never bothered to go all e way to mac js to buy their burgers. n i dont know why my laptop is humming away to emo songs.

plus, e fact tt najiha is e first companion i made in yj, n e one who helped me settle into e new environment, n e one who updates me on e seniors, n e one i run to lit tutorials with, n e one i copied maths tutorials from, n e babe who dances really well, n e jambu girl guys r after(haha,really!), makes it even harder for me to see her go. sob. sob. sob..

among those who sent her off were syamilah, maya, aishah n g's other bestfriends. we gave her an arabic language guide book, an embroidered bookmark, a tudung, a card, chocz n more chocz. now i think i shud have bought myself choczzz too. (btw, check your mails for pics k)

anw, morning was spent watching Ironman n having waffles@gelare with lil bro at causeway. like finalleh! the show turned out great! i actually enjoyed myself. e red-gold suit is totally fly. 4 out of 5 from me!!


ps: quick explore skype ok najiha! then we can go skyping soon.. hahaha!

supper

been enjoying days of late night greasy suppers. yesterday after attending e uncle's bbq at east coast, we went to hunt down for more food. hahaha. after realising tt east coast's food centre was alr closed. we went down to simpang bedok. even e malay stall was closed for orders so we had e mamak usuals, roti john n mee goreng, n also cheese kebab. yummeh! reached home fully lepak-ed/beat abt 3 in e morn.

e day before was cheesecake supper at secret recepi@plaza sg. but someone craves for mee goreng so after tt we went to bendemeer, i think. my dad's used to be lepak place during his referee days, as he claimed. adam's corner. yup, my dad was a referee n soccer player. was. anw, i saw sulhan, he's w e rest of his friends, acquaintances whom i met once when we happen to have coffee n dinner 2gather. so i js do my thing n pretended i saw nthg. haha. u know when u're having yr lazy to 'tegur' people moment?? haha. yea.
anw, dad met an ol neighbour there which triggered a funny incident. dad asked mum if she recognises his wife who lived in our old bishan estate, then e fella replied/whispered to my dad, 'ni bini baru aku'. which translates into, 'this is my new wife'. lol! my mee goreng filled stomach erupted w laughter. wth! then all e way back, dad received the dont-be-kpo-abt-other-ppl's-wife nag from mum. HAHAHA!

then today supper with e fam at jln kayu after visiting nadirah, again! walaoo. she's irresistibly adorable can! haha. later, our desert was apek's icecream potong along lower seletar reservoir. e rest of e night was spent throwing rocks with gusts of wind against our faces. such a lovely night :)



yet again. another supper/family/food/humor/love/etc filled weekend.
plus, nenek is alr discharged. n she's doing okay :)

ps: hmm. i wonder if khai's alr back from her perak trip.
pps: najiha hana! i demand u to tell me when exactly is your flight once u've booked it. haha. igmyvm!(im gonna miss you very much!) hahahaha!!

square root of 3

the square root of 3

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

Here's a cheesy n lame poem i extracted from Harold & Kumar:Escape from Guantanamo Bay. a mathematically inspired one. I find it quite cute actually. hahaha. e show however was hilariously dumb. deserves a 3.5 out of 5.

nenek(grandma) got warded to changi hospital this morning :( visited her after my ngaji. like previously, she's on e breathing aid cupped over her face. i hope she'll get well soon n can get back to her normal eating regime.

currently im picking up forex bit by bit from my bro. ahaha. not yet serious tho. js starting out w e basics. i mean, i know it's huge potential. but.(there's always a but!) i'm not personally convinced abt it yet. so yeah. i'm just exploring the demo account n reading e materials i received from a forex seminar months back.
ok pause. for those blur kings like me who dont know head/tail abt forex, listen up:
in a forex(foreign exchange) market, traders(like me) buy/sell currencies of different countries. this can be done through a platform/software on yr pc w internet connection of corz. tts all. if i go on, i might not sound human anymore. hahaa.(i wanna know more)

stop e dry forex talk. here's a typical chuck moment to liven things up in here..

Chuck Bass: Who's the newbie?
Kati Farkas: Jenny Humphrey. She's a freshman.
Chuck Bass: I love freshman. They're so...
Isabel Coates: Fresh?

HAHA! his badboy antics somehow reminds me of robbie williams.
talking about freshman. i came across this freshman camp blog. people like nadz, syamilah, asmara, maybe rendy, etc, should check it out n spread e word. =)

thrashed

last night's match was a joke! spore was thrashed badly by e uzbeks. spore fans were continuosly cursing the nonsense defence played out during e game. esp during e 2nd half.
feeling rather depressed, we head out to arab st for supper.. nyaha!

visited faez(cousin), who was working at raffles city outlet js now. she got us 3 starbucks drinks for free! hahaha. i tried e new dark mocha frap. def richer than e normal mocha. tastes familiar tho. like belgian choc. with trails of java chip. yumm. haha. then dinner with e fam at magic wok. haih. now i have trouble sleeping due to e caffeine induced drink i consumed. n i will have trouble waking up early for ngaji tmr. my eyes all teary but my eyes wont shut. *yawns*


"May today be better than yesterday, but, not as good as tomorrow."
-unknown

i try to pluck out inspirations, n mentally plan out some crazy stuff to blog about. but i cant seem to execute these ideas smoothly virtually. haha! thus resulting in e plain ol routined diary-like blog. nayhh..js bare w me ok! while i narrate..

owells! this weekend wasnt bad. in fact, sat was therapheutically spent, patronizing e GSS. yesss after so long. i had a shopping 'binge'. i'm rather contented with my buys from f21, cotton on, esprit, charles n keith etc. yepp, i did mention 'binge'.

then headed towards adam fd cntr for supper. talked to e folks. somehow we landed on e topic abt g gg off for studies, n abt leaving family behind for studies. my dad suddenly teared. haha. not surprised. he's got sensitive emotions. esp when watching hindi/malay movies. hahaha!

n syamilah msged me abt her virgin driving experience! so excited for her!! haha. on tt note, dad got me a contact of a priv instructer named walter. haha.

sun morning was spent in e sweaty gym. eww. haha. then went over to kampung ubi cc for a relative's wedding. urgh. so crowded. furthermore its 'hidang' n not buffet. very leceh sehh. i tengok kendarat, i yang penat!

enough of crowded places. we went to punggol to visit nenek n nadirah!!
(click to enlarge)
she's alr taking her first baby steps now! look at her transition. isnt she a cute lil lady. tt's her mother(my cousin), in e middle. turning 1 year old next month eh nadirah!

went to masjid perkampungan sembawang for maghrib, then attended my lil bro's DBICamp(DiscoveringIslamBeyondClassroom) closing thr. saw many familiar faces, namely aisha mardhiah, others who i attended madrasah with n ustazahs. say helloo to my geeky bro, akmal:

he's probably too lethargic to smile. this pic doesnt do justice to his usual jumpy mood below. haha.


ps: my blog's hit counter had to be reset cos e previous one suddenly vanished. urrg.

back to school

today was spent with najiha back at school. yjc was like a ghost town bcos apparently the J1s went away 4 obs. also not many teachers were in school. G tried calling mrs guna mr fazli ms suryati n mdm noraidah to no avail. our bad. cos we didnt really came prepared. luckily mr lim saved our trip there. we ended up talking to him for nearly an hour. updated each other about stuff happenin recently. n abt G gg away. :( mr ng, e maths lecturer saw us n joined in for abit. i miss these people luhhh. i mean these teacherss. fond memoriesss..(click to enlarge)
pics were taken during e yj days. =)

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

check this damn hilarious vid out. a michael jackson impersonator, suleman mirza on Britain's Got Talent. n it's bloody brilliant!


as i'm typing this, i'm actually watching the 2007 Scripps National Spelling Bee on ESPN.
it really is an intensed show. these kid's spelling talent is very impressive. n the techniques they use to recall words they have to spell is sometimes freaky. but its interesting to learn such things. i really wonder if they memorise dictionaries of different languages from cover to cover. i mean how do they do it. learning the language origins of words, e root words etc. that's insane workload aside from their schoolwork. hmm.

i think the only fun word to spell is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. even though the sound of it is somethg quite atrocious. hahaha! mary poppins ehh.

may birthdays

tag replys..

Z[ilyana]:heyy! yupp.i'm alr enjoying e novel. best bangett. haha.

______________________________________________

these 2 days was tiring. but really. really fun!

fri:
had sham's surprise bd gathering last evening. i wasnt working so i met up earlier w diyana zul n asri at swensens@np. me n diyana collected e cake while feline managed to drag sham to e surprise venue. awaiting was her cake pizzas n presents.

credits to sharon for pulling off SHAM'S ADVANCED 19TH BIRTHDAY! n credits to sham for being there..haha. others there were diyana ezza bana feline n bf. feline left earlier so it was left with us tryna find smth entertaining to do. we ended up at partyworld ktv@safra. omggg..these ppl were such a gr8 sport singing their lungs out to eng chi mly hindi songs! esp sharon n e bd girl!


n i've realised tt ppl like asri n feline has alr got e licence to drive. grrr! im green.

sat:
this morning nadz hopped on dad's for a ride to nus. we only attended e first sc fac talk then parted ways cos i had to attend this book prize award thing. soon after that, me n my folks walked around marina sq, arab st. then they sent me to meet e girls at swensens@j8 fer NAJIHA HANA'S SOOOO BELATED 20TH BIRTHDAY celebration!!


that luckky babe. we r sooo gonna miss her once she's gone to AUS@Sharjah. which i think, i wayy cool! heh. after maghrib@an-nahdhah, we blanketed ourselves under e night stars of bishan stadium n just talked.
after a whole day out me n nadz hailed a cab home thinking, what a night :)), & what a freaky cab driver. hahaha!

something feels missing cos e thought of gg to sch fer 5 laborious days is gone. e term has ended! :)
there you go.. my almost perfect weekend! we shall see how tmr goess aye.

have a good sunday yawll!

ps: pics will be sent thru mails oke-doke!

tgif

felt great after getting off work yesterday. talkin bout tgif! weekends never felt better. ahah. but i have a bad feeling tt i'm gonna miss those rugrats once my work is done :(

owells, i suddenly gt inspired to read so i sat at starbucks with my newly bought novel "the kite runner" by khaled hosseini. paperback version. so far so good..(review)

i met up with sharon n sham for dinner. i enjoyed their company. then met up with diyana at starbucks, again. its been a while but she's gorgeous as usual. n yeap, progressing fast in life. we talked e night away 'bout work sch ppl ylc nora n almost everythg else. got her on e phone w my dad, n it reminded me of how we clicked back then. :) i'm kindda excited for her engagement! hee. u know, she's one tough lady. anyways, last night was a refreshing change.

ntu's mathematical sciences talk was this mornin. went over w nad, n practically tried to amuse ourselves with our bukit topics bcos of e oh so boring atmosphere. e new building looks v clean n new. its so tempting to stain my footprints on e white walls! haha. back to e talk, it was forgetable. even so, i havent made a choice tho. hmm..

headed over 2 causeway 2 hang out w nad. then ended up watching congkak. nad w her fam, n me w my fam..hahaha! its an okay movie. i would personally rate it 3 out of 5. the scary part was prolly more of e sound effects. thing is, after movie we went our seperate ways. then later tt night, my fam bumped into nad n fauzi while having dinner at swensens... coincidence or what! funny part abt coincidence is, we were also offered e same courses in both Unis. lol.

n yes! i need recommendations for laptops. getting a new one soon but im not sure what's good in e market. any tech geeks around??

oh pierre

:)))))))) i've been smiling away madly since i took this picture just now. i was superr excited when i saw him, rushdi ramli n ahmad idham @ golden village marina.

my fam was actually walking aimlessly, planning to catch a movie or smth. then we saw a crowd forming a line near the cinema entrance. turns out that there's a malaysia film festival going on and they're showing movies for free. coincidentally, they're gonna show 'congkak' a movie mum wanted to watch. so we thought, cool! why not. then while waiting to get in, i saw my reza!! hahaha. pierre andre it is, the script writer. ahhh..*melts* u should watch him in gol&gincu. he makes such a darling boyfriend. anw, he was being totally nice, even tho my camera phone was acting up.

the downside? the theatre was fully occupied so we didnt get to watch the movie. the organisers apologised n offered us to their buffet table. but its ok, i can always catch the movie some other time. seeing pierre was more than enough!

i'm gonna youtube first before bed. before dreaming of pierre that is. haha.

sweet dreams!

08 update

oh wat the heck. a fresh start wouldn't kill aye.

life's been pretty hectic. good for me cos its been static since i quit my underpaid job at this tuition centre eons ago.

A levels result was unexpectedly mediocre. thank god! then came the draggy Uni application phase. i was seriously in the unmotivated, couldn't-care-a-hoot mood at that point of time. in the mean time, im waiting for offers from the 3 Unis. & last fri i received ntu's offer. :))))))))) it's HUGE sigh of relieve after being kept in the dark for weeks. altho its tempting to accept it right away but i'm gonne wait for the other offers.

besides that, my slacking days are over. im permanently reliefing a pregnant teacher. at least i'll have e extra income for the upcoming GSS.

& studioempat is over before it even started. but its ok babes, maybe rezeki kite bukan di situ kan. however it was all fun hanging out with u guys! thanks cousins n sulhan for the learning experience :)

arts fusion was okayy. i miss our batch's dance troupe. i miss our practice sessions. in fact, i miss dancing n performing. its feels like something's missing right now.

n finalleh. a pass for btt at 2nd try. but its not as if i can drive right now. ftt coming right up. any lobangs for a priv instructor??

for now, i shall keep my ok paying job and try to love the kids even tho they can be sucha pain in the classroom. man, i'm beat. n its only tuesday!!

ps: i can't wait to celebrate g's bd! heeeee

hello you!

hello world!

im in a blogging dilemma right now. not sure whether to start afresh on blogger.. or simply quit blogging. after years of blogging, im pretty much sick of diaryland.

owells. lets just wait and see :0)
